3 Charged in Hazing That Led to Marine's Suicide
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Alone in a foxhole in Afghanistan, Lance Cpl. Harry Lew wrote a message on his arm to his mom: "May hate me now, but in the long run this was the right choice." Then he leaned over his military-issued machine gun, put his mouth over the muzzle and pulled the trigger.

Marines split on women joining combat units
Sgt. Michelle Stephens is a salty, hard-charging Marine who has hauled 75-pound packs with infantrymen at mountain warfare training, qualified as a rifle sharpshooter while using iron sights and worked off-duty as a bouncer in a bar.
Despite all that, the seven-year Marine will never serve in a combat unit because of something else: she's a woman. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound administrative specialist is taller and stronger than some Marines, but the U.S. doesn't allow women in combat arms jobs.

For Marines in Afghanistan: be careful where you fart
Marine Corps Times is a family newspaper and we only rarely have offensive language in our stories.
But this week the word "fart" appears in a story I wrote about the importance of trust between Marines and the Afghan national army soldiers they work with.

Iwo Jima Statistics and more
There are some interesting statistics here resulting from the Battle for Iwo Jima. All that enjoy a bit of Military History should be amazed at some of these facts.
IWO JIMA:
On March 26th,1945, Iwo Jima was declared "secured". The Marines handed the island over to the Army so the Army Air Corps could use the air fields. Then many of the Marines sailed off to another party on Okinawa.
February 19th was the start of the invasion of Iwo. That seems so long ago. But for the Marines and sailors who assaulted Iwo, every one of the 36 continuous days of that battle seemed nearly that long.
About 77,000 US Marines from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions converged on tiny Iwo Jima in late February. LtGen Tadamichi Kuribayashi had fortified Iwo for a full year before the invasion, and had an estimated 22,000 troops dug in under the island. US forces began bombing Iwo in June 1944, 8 full months before the invasion. Naval bombardments then shelled the island mercilessly around the clock for four consecutive days prior to the invasion.
Iwo set a number of "firsts":
It was the longest concentrated bombardment of any target in the history of mankind up to that date.
It was the largest total tonnage of bombs and artillery ever delivered on a single target to that date.
It was the largest armada of ships ever assembled for an invasion up to that date (about 700 ships).
It was the largest number of invaders to ever invade any island up to that date (each of those new records was broken by the invasion of Okinawa in April 1945).
It was the first (and last) time Seabees accompanied Marines in the first waves of a beach invasion (they swore they'd never do THAT again!).
It was the first and last time any Marine unit landed on D-Day and served an entire campaign without being relieved by another unit.
And it was the only time in Marine Corps history when the number of invading casualties exceeded the number of defending casualties. More than 19,000 Marines were wounded on Iwo, and 6,821 died there. As such, it remains the costliest battle in Marine Corps history.
Now get this: one-third of all marines killed during WWII, died on Iwo Jima.
Let me repeat that: ONE THIRD of all US Marines killed during WWII, died on Iwo Jima.
All but about 200 Japanese defenders died on Iwo.
Marine LtGen Harry Schmidt and LtGen H. M. Smith led Task Force 56. It made up V Corps, composed of the 3rd MarDiv (MGen Erskine), 4th MarDiv (MGen Clifton Cates) and 5th MarDiv (MGen Rockey). The 5th Division had been formed expressly for the battle of Iwo Jima. It was disbanded following the battle.
Among the participants were names of distinction:
� Son of the sitting Commandant LtCol AA Vandergriff Jr (3/24)
� Future Commandant 1stLt Robert E Cushman, Jr (2/9)
� Future Commandant Clifton Cates (CG 4thMarDiv)
� Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal
� LtGen "Howlin' Mad" Smith
� And the first enlisted Marine Medal of Honor recipient of WWII, "Manila John" Basilone. Basilone had received his MOH from Chesty Puller, for action on Guadalcanal. He was KIA on Iwo on D-Day.
The invasion planners felt confident the battle would take 7-10 days. It took 36. LtGen Kuribayashi's body has never been found.
The final two Japanese defenders surrendered 4 years after the battle. In January of 1949 two Japanese soldiers surrendered themselves to the occupying US Army garrison on Iwo. They had hidden in the 11 miles of tunnels and bunkers under Iwo, successfully raiding the Army supplies for food and water at night.

Flood Watch 1983: Newspaper Coverage of the Flooding of Thistle and Salt Lake City
by JAMES STARBUCK
During the spring of 1983, Utah was awakening from one of the wettest winters on record. The previous year saw record precipitation and, in the latter part of 1982, summer rains continued through the fall. Rainfall eventually turned to winter snows and, in the process, saturated the ground beyond its capacity. What was left in the spring was an unusually large snowpack that was waiting to release its moisture down the mountain streams. In normal years the snowpack melts slowly due to air temperatures that gradually warm through late June. This particular season, however, saw a very rapid warm up that created an equally rapid snowmelt and high run-off that overwhelmed local streams, buried a town underwater, and turned streets into rivers.
Throughout this record water year, each new storm was adding to a narrative that would become the prominent news story from mid-April through mid-June 1983. This narrative was conveyed through the two local newspapers, The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News, and each story seemed to be a precursor to the subsequent stories that followed.
What would follow was a flood that had a lasting impact on Utah's capital city and northern Utah, in general. This flooding was the result of heavy precipitation that accumulated during the 1981-82 water year, which began in October 1981, and culminated in September 1982. According to Linda Sillitoe in her article, "Floods," it was a "water year that had broken all records; then September 1982 climaxed with ten times more moisture than normal." Within this last month of the water year, saturated ground turned to mudslides that closed Big and Little Cottonwood canyons and flooded creeks to the point that the state's Governor, Scott Matheson, declared a state of emergency, although federal aid was denied. (Sillitoe) September's floods paled in comparison to what the following spring had to offer.
By spring, March again saw record rain and snowfall on top of soil that had reached its limits of absorbing water, and this record moisture continued on through April 1983. The soil limitations became evident on April 15, when a mountainside in Spanish Fork Canyon began to move and forced authorities to close the canyon. This mudslide was threatening U.S. Highway 6 and two railroad tracks and could potentially disrupt transportation and interstate commerce. The Salt Lake Tribune reported on Saturday, April 16, 1983, that during the previous afternoon, "the highway was measured at rising about a foot an hour. It is now about 15 feet higher than the original roadbed."
In contrast to the reporting in The Salt Lake Tribune, the Deseret News took the opportunity to report on the impact the slide would have on the last run of the Rio Grande Zephyr, "the nation's last privately owned, inter-city passenger railroad," that was scheduled to run on April 24. (Fackrell) Inclusion of this bit of information brought a somewhat personal, or humanistic, approach to the paper's reporting.
As the slide began to dam off the Spanish Fork River, rising waters were threatening the nearby town of Thistle. On April 17, 1983, the Deseret News stated that crews were giving up on "trying to keep the road or the railway open through Spanish Fork Canyon and will now concentrate on keeping residents of Thistle and nearby areas from being flooded." The Tribune reported that within Thistle, 72 families were evacuated "as water backed up behind millions of tons of heaving, sliding mud." (Clark)
By Tuesday, April 19, 1983, this rising water was now being called Lake Thistle. The township of Thistle was doomed. Already, the 22 homes that occupied the area were inundated by the lake, now as deep as 50 feet, and The Salt Lake Tribune reported that the town "is up to its rooftops in gray water. Thistle may be no more." The Deseret News again added a human touch by reporting that "some of the residents are staying with friends and relatives and others in trailers set up in the Canyon Ward church house." (Ward, Martz)
Federal aid finally came to the residents of Thistle on April 30, 1983, as President Ronald Reagan approved Utah's request for disaster status for the Spanish Fork slide. The Salt Lake Tribune reported on May 1 that the "emergency declaration could provide family financial relief grants and temporary housing assistance."
In areas surrounding Thistle, similar slides were beginning to form, such as in nearby Payson Canyon. The Salt Lake Tribune quoted Utah County Sheriff's Lt. Gary Clayton as saying that the slide was "a loaded gun up there just waiting to go off." (Raine) This was a common sentiment felt across all of northern Utah as other streams and rivers were beginning to feel the strains of the spring runoff. On May 1, 1983, an article in The Salt Lake Tribune prophesied on the floods that would threaten Salt Lake City. The article noted that the National Weather Service expected heavy rains that would cause "flash flooding and standing water in intersections and underpasses throughout the Wasatch Front." The article also noted that the snowpack, which was only beginning to melt, contained 33 percent more water than the previous year and would strain the streams already swollen with run-off and steady rain. (Clark)
It would be nearly a full month after the Spanish Fork slide that the areas located in Salt Lake County felt the brunt of the melting snowpack. Spring storms were still falling on northern Utah throughout May, and by mid-month it was evident that disaster would soon strike Salt Lake City. On May 17, the result of these storms was beginning to show as "the rain and snow filled Red Butte and Emigration Creeks to overflowing and in some areas the bubbling water flowed into curbs and gutters." (Sorenson) It was the same story in the surrounding suburbs of Salt Lake City, and the nearby towns located in Davis and Utah counties, as the groundwater began to push above ground. Eventually, the rains were reduced to isolated storms, but in their wake the makings of a "worst-case scenario" was brewing.

By the end of May, the rains had given way to higher temperatures that soared into the 80s. (Sillitoe) As The Salt Lake Tribune put it, "The sins of Winter have been visited upon the Spring." On May 26, crews began setting up dikes and stacking sandbags along the east-to-west thoroughfare of 1300 South to convert it into a river that would run from State Street westward to the Jordan River. Things then went from bad to worse during the Memorial Day weekend as temperatures rose into the 90s. (Sillitoe)
Water began flowing down the makeshift river on Friday, May 27, between dikes that were seven feet high. The waterway was also extended six blocks eastward to accommodate the overfilled reservoir in Liberty Park. The Deseret News noted that "traffic was snarled … as crews blocked major roads and turned them into rivers." (Davidson) Around the Salt Lake Valley, the melting snowpack was overfilling the numerous creeks and streams and prompted Salt Lake's mayor, Ted Wilson, to declare a state of emergency for the city. City and state officials also began pleading with the public to supply volunteers to help with the sandbagging efforts in and around Salt Lake.
The next day, May 28, in a downtown park known as Memory Grove, water surged over a pond and sent City Creek rushing down both Main Street and State Street. (Ure) It was this event that made the flooding front-page news in the Sunday paper as the water flow from the creek "set a record of 234 cubic feet per second; the old record was 156 feet per second." ( Ling, Dowell, Pressley) Previously, the coverage of the flooding had been placed in the local sections of both papers, but this changed once the capital city was affected. That night, road crews and volunteers began the construction of a second river to divert City Creek southward down State Street.
To save the local businesses from water damage, volunteers worked on through the morning of Memorial Day rerouting the creek from Temple Square to 400 South in downtown Salt Lake City, turning the city into a modern Venice. Whether it was in the spirit of the holiday, or the fact that disaster had been averted, once the water began to flow an impromptu "street festival" broke out among the 4,000 or so volunteers who helped build the waterway. (Ward, Davidson)

This festive sentimentality was also evident as the Deseret News attempted to add a little tongue-and-cheek humor to the situation. In its Sunday edition, the paper laid out instructions on "how to turn a street into a canal," and listed the four necessary ingredients: "thousands of tons of dirt, a multitude of volunteers, a few thousandths of an inch of plastic, and, of course, water." (Warchol) Already, these rivers in the middle of the city were becoming something of a novelty.
In the few weeks to follow, wood bridges were constructed to allow for pedestrians and vehicles to cross the river and linked downtown with Interstate 15. Restaurants also capitalized on the novelty as office workers navigated around the waterways during their lunch hours. (Sillitoe) At times, an occasional fisherman could also be seen casting his lure into the brown waters from one of the bridges.
Eventually, the streets dried up and the numbers were tallied. On June 9, 1983, The Salt Lake Tribune relayed the figures calculated by the Utah Department of Transportation, which put the damage to roadways at around $63 million. The Great Salt Lake had also risen over 4.4 feet and was continuing to rise. This was five feet above what was called the "compromise level." (Fehr) In a controversial move, Gov. Norm Bangerter ordered giant pumps that were installed in 1987 to lift the water out of the lake and into the desert to evaporate, to the cost of $65 million. (Fidel)
Both The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News built upon this story as it evolved with each storm throughout the spring of 1983. Although television news covered the events, it was the newspapers that really captured the narrative with each article. Television was better able to show the devastation through aerial views, but only once the events took place. The newspapers were able to begin their coverage much earlier. Not only did they report on the events as they happened, they also helped to predict what was to become. Within each weather forecast throughout the spring, the papers gave predictions for air temperatures as well as the effects that the ongoing precipitation would have on future flooding.
The newspapers also helped the public to be informed on flood areas around the state. Although the events in Thistle and Salt Lake City were the prominent news stories, there were several other areas that were affected by the flooding as well. By the end of May, updates were regularly printed that gave accounts of flooding in specific areas. The narrative that came out of each article, fully told the story of how "the desert did more than bloom like a rose. It became waterlogged." (Fehr)

Q: Jenkins: export pipeline into groovy-dsl file I have a Jenkins job configured through web interface.
The configuration is relatively simple, all it does is loading the project from git and running the build depending on  brunch name based on Jenkinsfile.
Despite of its simpleness I would like to store the configuration in git.
Q 1: How can I export a job into a groovy dsl?
Q 2: In case if it is not possible, how can I create a groovy dsl for my job?
The job currently has only "Branch Sources:Git" section which contains field like repository, credentials and branches; Build Configuration (by Jenkinsfile) and Orphaned section.
Update:
I wrote the corresponding dsl manually:
multibranchPipelineJob('MyPipeline') {

    branchSources {

Choose a web font that helps you do both.
GoodWebFonts.com started in early 2010 as a resource for my web typography students. The quickest way to connect them with good web fonts was to think "free." Google web fonts wasn't up and running yet, so all fonts tested were from fontsquirrel.com.
Times have changed. The number of fonts available at google web fonts seems to grow every day, and typekit offers a wide range of fonts for a reasonable yearly subscription plan.
So it's time to expand this resource.
In order to post new font recommendations quickly, I've reworked the site as a wordpress blog. The child theme is held together with bubblegum and toothpicks, so if things go wonky, I apologize thoroughly. It's a learning experience.
Each font has it's own web font specimen sheet (based on Tim Brown's original web font specimen) so you can see how the font holds up at various sizes, styles, weights, and so on. Each specimen sheet opens in a new tab so you can view and compare multiple fonts.
I try and identify common information about each font: it's classification, how many styles it has, and where I first found the font. I can't promise that the number of styles and source will remain true as time goes by, so you might need to do a little follow-up research. But I hope you find some new fonts to love.
I'm an Associate Professor of Design in the Design Department at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I teach a wide range of type classes, including History of Letterforms with an Introduction to Type on the Page; Type as Information; Type in Context: Print and Web; and Undergraduate Research Projects in Typeface Design. I'm also Co-coordinator of The Graduate Certificate In Web and Interaction Design at UMass Dartmouth, in which I teach a Web Typography class.
I present lectures and workshops on Typographic Web Design, my book "Typographic Web Design: How to Think Like a Typographer in HTML and CSS" was published by Wiley in late 2011, I've written a course (Typography for Web Designers) for Lynda.com, and I've started writing for SmashingMagazine.com.
Through it all, I'm inspired by my students, and am particularly interested in how we teach future typographers the art and responsibilities of our craft.

What is R22 and how does it affect you?
It's important for you to understand what the R22 is: a highly toxic and flammable refrigerant used in most HVAC systems. Since 2010, according to the Montreal Protocol, Canada, USA and EU member states started to phase out, as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, one of the components in the refrigerant, was primarily responsible for the ozone layer depletion and is a major greenhouse gas.
By 2020, producers of air conditioning units and refrigeration systems won't be allowed to use R22 anymore. If your system was installed before 2010, it's likely that you may want to replace it.
Why is R22 being banned in Canada?
In the '80s, a "hole" in the Earth's ozone layer over the Antarctic was discovered and the world started to pay a lot of attention. Without the shield from the ozone, life on our planet would be impossible with the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Unfortunately, CFCs in heavy industry, air conditioning units and aerosol cans usage were shown to be one of the greatest reasons for the ozone layer's depletion.
In 1987, during the Montreal Protocol, the usage of CFCs was banned and most recently HCFCs were also outlawed, during an update in the protocol. As per the US Environmental Protection Agency, R22 refrigerant will become illegal on January 1, 2020. After that date, R22 refrigerant can no longer be manufactured or imported.
What will replace the R22?
HCFCs are going to be replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which does not impact the atmosphere as badly, but they still have a high impact on the global warming issue. We may expect some organizations working to ban this refrigerant soon as well, but in the meantime, many of the new air conditioning units already use HFC.
When do I have to replace my R22?
According to Canada's government, if you have a system that uses R22, it's not mandatory that you replace it or get it retrofitted. But now that this type of refrigerant will not be largely manufactured, it may become extremely expensive and hard to locate.
R-22 phase-out timeline
We recommend talking to a specialist that can help you decide the best option for you. We can help you with that. Click here.
Finally, what do I have to do?
As a simple equipment owner, you can choose if you're replacing your system or doing a retrofit. Manufacturers and service providers will be the main implicated by the new regulation. So, you are allowed to continue operating a system using R22, but you won't be able to expand it in the future. This will become increasingly difficult to maintain because R22 will not be available to purchase or utilize by any local companies.
If you own an R22 Air Conditioner, here are your 3 options:
Do nothing and wait until your system needs repairing.
Retrofit your old R22 Air Conditioning to use a new refrigerant.
Replace your system early and avoid additional costs or system downtime.
The subject is extremely complex and we wanted you to have a little bit of information so you can understand better what is going to happen. You should always consult your service provider to determine what it's your best option. Contact us.

Banned Science: When is Searching for Facts Forbidden?
A couple months ago I ran into a great interview on Real Science Radio with one of the best microscope scientists in America, Mark Armitage. He's done videos showing university students how to use super fancy microscopes. He's also gone on dinosaur digs and found real dino fossils himself.
But the university he worked for didn't want him. Why?
Because he had the nerve to take that dinosaur horn he found and stick tiny pieces of it under a microscope.
Guess what he found: not just raw dinosaur horn, but so well preserved all the tiny bits were still in place as if it had been alive not too long ago.
People who want to believe dinosaurs died at least 80 million years ago don't even think of looking for such stuff. And they don't talk about it when someone else finds evidence for things that shouldn't be there if what they believe is true. They sure don't want to pay someone who might show these things to young people who might think through what it all means.
You will hear that creationists don't want to face the facts of science. Knowing this is happening now, is this true?
This entry was posted in Creationist Scientists, Links I like, The Big Picture.


An autopsy is a complete, extensive, and thorough examination of a deceased individual. The word autopsy comes from a Greek term meaning "to see for oneself". An autopsy involves both a physical examination of the organs and tissues as well as a microscopic examination. The report generated from the autopsy procedure is called an Autopsy Protocol and describes in detail all of the findings.
The autopsy procedure involves a team of autopsy professionals including pathologists' assistants and autopsy technicians led by an autopsy physician, called a pathologist. A pathologist is a board certified MD physician who specializes in the study of diseases. Pathologists' assistants are certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology and an autopsy technician has received extensive specialized training in autopsy procedures. Forensic autopsies tend to be performed by a forensic pathologist with the assistance of a technician.
How are your staff qualified?
We are board-certified forensic pathologists, board certified anatomic pathologists, certified pathologists' assistants, and autopsy technicians. We have experience in hospitals, medical examiner's and coroner's offices, academic centers, tissue banks and funeral homes.
What will I receive from you when the autopsy is completed?
Within 45 to 60 business days, the legal next of kin will receive the final autopsy report which includes a detailed gross and microscopic examination and description of all organ systems and the presence or absence of all findings.
How much does an autopsy cost?
Complete and Partial Autopsy Price Range: $2800-$6000. Please call for an exact quote based scope of the autopsy.
For private autopsies, we require payment in the form of credit card/debit card, electronic transfer, money order, paypal, or cashier's check before the autopsy is scheduled.

In early March, the palace announced that Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, would create their own household, complete with their own communications staff based at Buckingham Palace. The move would mean that their operations would be separate from those they had shared with Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Spring seems to be with us and all traces of February's snow are long gone. Timid crocus or zafferano are peeping out of the grass and wild asparagus are in season, just waiting to be hunted down by Marco. Mimosa and almond trees blossom in bright yellow and delicate pink in the warm spots of Montalcino's hills. At this time of year, these splashes of colour are a visual guide to where the sun hits first and longest amongst the various vineyards.
[This week we received an exciting delivery of baby Sangiovese barbatelle, baby vine-stocks, and we will be planting the lovely nubbly things in our Castelnuovo vineyards in a few gaps where there are vines missing. They are covered with green paraffin to protect them in transit. We buy them from a registered nursery in Pisa and they cost a massive 80 Eurocents a plant….

Farmer warns of crop price hike
Published: 5:54 AM October 14, 2003
By Rebecca SheppardA LEADING farmer has warned the prices of some crops could go up because of the lack of rain in East Anglia.Stephen Rash, a farm owner and Suffolk county chairman for the National Farmers' Union, said crops such as oil seed rape, wheat and barley were not having a chance to grow properly in the dry weather, which could create shortages and push prices up.
By Rebecca Sheppard
A LEADING farmer has warned the prices of some crops could go up because of the lack of rain in East Anglia.
Stephen Rash, a farm owner and Suffolk county chairman for the National Farmers' Union, said crops such as oil seed rape, wheat and barley were not having a chance to grow properly in the dry weather, which could create shortages and push prices up.
His warning came as weather forecasters predicted the current dry spell would continue into the weekend with the next shower not expected for at least five days.
Phil Garner, senior forecaster for Weatherquest, said the last measurable rainfall in East Anglia had been on October 8 when between three and six millimetres of water fell in the north of the region.
"It has been a very dry year. We had a fairly moist spring with close to average rainfall, but there has been an extremely dry summer," he added.
"Last summer it was hot at the end of August, but the main part of the summer was very mixed with rainy spells."
The Met Office said the average rainfall for January to September this year was 337.7mm, compared with 433.4 mm for the same period in 2002.
The summer was particularly dry, with about 20% to 30% of the normal average rainfall and record temperatures.
That has left the ground dry, which has been made worse by easterly winds that have dried out the surface soil so there was no moisture left for plants and crops to grow.
Mr Rash, who owns a 970-acre farm in Wortham, near Diss, said he was having problems with the cultivation of his sugar beet crop as the ground was too hard.
"It was the end of July since we had some real rainfall. Sugar beet and potato harvests have been extremely difficult," he added.
"I am quite concerned now that the summer crops have not got sufficient moisture to germinate. As there is not sufficient moisture in the soil for them to grow, they will die and the seeds will go mouldy in the ground.
"It is worrying as the autumn is slipping away and the time left to get next years crops into the ground is getting shorter."
Mr Rash said the knock-on effect of the low rainfall might be felt in the market place.
"There could be problems with wheat, barley and oil seed rape. Normally it is market forces that push prices up, but if there is a shortage, it could possibly mean an increase in prices," he added.
"Let's just say if it is dry for much longer, then there will be serious repercussions for the crops."
A spokeswoman for Anglian Water said water reserves were "fine" and what it expected for this time of the year.
"In Alton reservoir in Suffolk the surface water levels are a little lower than average, but this is what we expect from the water stores," she added.
"They are built so that levels will drop in the summer and then the reservoir will be replenished in the winter. If we had to rely on rainfall, then there would be problems, but they are designed to ensure we don't have to.
"The underwater levels are nice and full from winters three to four years ago. It hasn't given us any huge problems and there was never a concern that we would have to impose a hosepipe ban, which we have not done for about 10 years."
A spokeswoman for the Environment Agency said it had strategies in place to deal with the lack of rainfall.
"If there is a serious lack of groundwater, we can stop water abstraction, which prevents people taking water out of the rivers, although we have not had to do that," she added.
The spokeswoman said the agency constantly monitored water levels with electronic equipment and worked closely with the Met Office.
It is launching today a Flood Awareness Campaign to remind people of the risk to their homes if there is a strong, short downpour that could cause flash flooding when the ground is so dry and compacted that it cannot absorb the water.

Grandma would order her baby chicks, every year, from the Radio Station XERF, 500,000 watts of power, down on the Mexican border. The big box with the holes all in it for air, and about 50 chicks, would arrive by our Rural Mail Carrier. He would pull up in front of Grandma's old farm house, honking his horn, and she would go out and get the box and bring it in the house to a closed in porch on the back of her house. She had fixed a circle of Chicken Wire to hold them… she would feed them… cuddle them… love them, and I, in my nine year old logic, figgered she had them for pets. After awhile the baby chicks thought Grandma was their Mama. After they got big enough, she moved them out to the outside Chicken house, and every day she would let them out in the yard, take a handful of cracked corn and feed the little rascals.
The little chicks became big roosters and hens, after so long a time. One day I was in visiting with Grandpa… well actually just continually firing questions at him, which he answered with a grunt, a nod or a head shake, as he puffed away on his pipe of Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco. Y'see, Grandpa was a man of few words, and many gestures. Since I wasn't getting a whole lot out of Grandpa, I went outside and saw Grandma with the Chickens all around her in the back yard. I wandered over, just as she grabbed one of the roosters by the head and started twirling it around in a circle like a whirley-gig… causing the head to come off in her hand and the rooster to begin about a five-minute headless dance while it bled out. Finally, the rooster lay down and gave up the ghost (if chickens have ghosts), deader than a flattened road kill.
I was horrified! Grandma killed one of her darling pets! I ran off to the barn to try to get my mind around this startling action. All I could think about was that Chicken dancing with no head, slinging blood everywhere.
That afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa's kids and my cousins arrived for some of Grandma's famous fried chicken. As I sat down at the table, Grandma slipped me my plate…with my favorite piece of fried chicken on it… the drumstick! Oh man, I did love me a drumstick. I bit into the hot, crunchy delight…and I realized that life could be mighty rough on the chicken, and Grandma had to make some hard choices and strong actions…and at the end of those hard choices was my drumstick… I reckoned I could live with that alright… Uh would you please pass some more mashed taters and gravy… and another drumstick, if you don't mind. Thank you very kindly.

Police in Edmonton are investigating after a human head was found in an alley.
Oct. 24, 2012 6:53 p.m.
EDMONTON — Police in Edmonton are investigating after a human head was found in an alley.
A source says a woman made the gruesome discovery in a northeast neighbourhood.
RCMP are working with city police to determine whether the head is linked to remains found in a ditch near Ranfurly, east of Edmonton, on the weekend.
Local media have quoted area residents who heard the body was decapitated and lying in a ditch next to a running pickup truck.


Our kids all arrive at that stage whe n it's time to transition from the bath to the shower. Many of us instigated this, now feeling that perhaps we could ditch this time consuming nightly activity. Many of us find we attempt a shower too early, only to end up with tears and cries of "water in my eyes" resulting us to promptly go back to the bath with the feeling of defeat.
My son at aged 8 has now been having a shower instead of a bath for the past 2 years, but had I not made the switch for him, I am sure he would still be requesting baths. When he would first have a shower he would complain and I would respond with a "it'll be quick, it'll will be quick"! This did not make him more agreeable.
It was when I started the 30 second shower challenge I no longer got complaints. Do you recall the gameshow It's A Knockout where people would be challenged to do certain tasks before a timer ran out? Well, this is our it's a Knockout, and it's working like a charm. I start by creating the atmosphere. "30 second challenge" I announce with gusto at shower time and while my son will never run to me when it's shower time, the challenge makes it far more tolerable and enjoyable for both of us. For him, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, he understands that it will be quick and likes the challenge of having to be finished washing himself before I count to 30. I tried using a timer instead of counting but it wasn't as effective, probably because you don't get the fanfare you do with a booming voice full of urgency.
Recently when talking to my friend Mel about that hectic time of an evening with the kids, I mentioned the 30 second shower challenge and how well it was working for us. Well she gave it a go, and next time we met told me how much she loved it. Try the 30 second shower challenge with your kids, infact how bout a 40 second challenge, 20 second, 60 second, each to their own but whatever amount of time you set, ensure you bring the fanfare and sense of challenge along with it to get the kids as agreeable as possible.
Bathtime was one of our most favourite times in our household – some downtime from the nightly chores and a great time for a chat! Now my girls are older and just send themselves off to the shower, I realise how much I miss those times we had together when they were younger – keep them in the bath for as long as possible I say!!!

Ex-infantryman and reconnaissance officer, writer and slapstick comedian Patrick Ryan is likely to be most sensible remembered for this acerbically comedian novel - first released in 1963 and speedy tailored right into a 1967 function movie through Richard Lester, starring Michael Crawford and John Lennon. it's a satirical 'memoir' of the misadventures of the haphazard and significantly na�ve Lieutenant Ernest Goodbody and his fellow battling males of Twelve Platoon - Sergeant Transom, Corporals Hink, Globe and Dooley, deepest Drogue et al - as they stumble ill-preparedly into the theatres of worldwide struggle Two.

Auf seinen zahlreichen Reisen nach Griechenland in den vergangenen fünf Jahrzehnten kam der Autor zu der Erkenntnis, dass es eine lebendige neugriechische Kultur gibt, deren Wurzeln tief in die Vergangenheit reichen, in die byzantinische Ära und noch weiter bis in die Antike. Er wurde so zum "Filéllinas", zum Freund des Griechentums. In seinem ersten Buch "Die Laterne des Diogenes" schildert er die Reiseerlebnisse, die er zusammen mit seinen Wegbegleitern hatte und macht deutlich, wie sehr griechische Lebenskunst und Lebensart für das übrige Europa vorbildhaft sein könnten.

The Republic of Mauritius is a sovereign island country located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, about 900 km from Toamasina, a town on the easternmost coast of Madagascar, and approximately 3800 km southwest of Cape Comorin on the southern tip of India.
In addition to the island of Mauritius, the republic includes the islands St. Brandon, Rodrigues and the Agalega Islands. Mauritius forms part of the Mascarene Islands, along with the French island of Reunion, which is about 170 km to the southwest.
Mauritius is inhabited by about 1.4 million people. Its capital and most populated locality is Port Louis.
The people of Mauritius are multiethnic, multi-religious, multicultural and multilingual. Mauritian Creole, French, English and Bhojpuri are its vernacular languages, plus another 9 that are spoken in the territory.
Its official currency is the Mauritian rupee (MUR).
Mauritius is ranked highly for its democracy and economic and political freedom.
The Head of State of Mauritius is the President, who is elected for a period of five years by the National Assembly, the Mauritian unicameral parliament.
The National Assembly has 62 members elected by direct and popular suffrage and includes between 4 and 8 members representing ethnic minorities, depending on the election results. The government is headed by the prime minister and a council of ministers.
Since its independence from the British in 1968, Mauritius has seen a dazzling evolution.
The island went from being a low-income country with low per capita income, in which the economy was based on agriculture, to a country that now enjoys the status of an emerging and constantly developing nation with middle-level incomes and a diversified economy based on growing industrial, financial, service and tourism sectors.
During these last 5 decades of economic growth, the Mauritius has grown at a rate of around 5% to 6% per year. This result translates into a significant improvement in the quality of life and a significant increase in life expectancy, a decline in infant mortality and an impressive infrastructural development.
Regarding the primary sector, sugar cane accounts for 90% of crops and accounts for 25% of its exports. Livestock in Mauritius mainly consists of pigs and goats, and fishing is also an important source of income.
Its main industrial sectors are textiles, information and communications technology, and seafood processing, as well as petrochemical and chemical industry in Port Louis.
Tourism is its most prominent sector and a significant source of its foreign exchange revenues. Mauritius is a growing tourism destination for its natural beauty and man-made attractions, the multi-ethnic and cultural diversity of its population, tropical climate, beautiful beaches and water sports. The issuance of stamps for collection is also a source of income.
The financial sector is a major economic pillar of the Mauritian economy, with more than 10,000 offshore companies incorporated and a broad offer of banking, insurance and reinsurance services, captive insurance managers, trading companies, ship owners or managers, fund managers and international corporation services.

The nails represent functionally and aesthetically very important cutaneous appendages. Although often seen as the little brother of hair and being of lesser importance life without nails is much harder than without hair. Wigs are available in all sizes and colours at virtually all prices but nothing similar can be bought even for a lot of money. Hair? can be hidden under a hat or scarf but the hands and fingers and their nails are virtually always visible.
The nail starts developing with the formation of the limbs at the 8th to 9th week of gestation. Its development depends on the concerted action of many growth and signalling factors, and only one lacking or one false signal will make normal nail development impossible. Much research has concentrated on hair and it turned out that nail development is even more complex. It is not surprising that so many ectodermal dysplasia syndromes are associated with nail deformations.
Recent research has shown the close and intimate reltionship? of the musculo-skeletal system with the nail unit. Some rheumatologists now call the nail a musculo-skeletal appendage and explain part of the psoriatic nail changes with their close anatomic relationship with the bone and joint of the distal phalanx refuting the long-held anticipation of the nail changes as being immuno-mediated.
As a cutaneous appendage, the nail apparatus may react with the skin and demonstrate a number of nail changes, many of which are specific allowing the correct diagnosis to be made, but even more are less or non-specific and have to be seen with the corresponding dermatosis. When no accompanying skin lesions are present a correct diagnosis is even more difficult to reach and often requires a biopsy and expert histopathological diagnosis. This touches another difficult area: nail surgery.
Nail surgery is an integral part of dermatologic surgery. Although many patients primarily consult surgeons because ?they can do everything" even plastic and hand surgeons usually have only rudimentary knowledge of the nail's biology, physiology, growth pattern, normal and pathologic anatomy and histopathology. Therefore, their foremost diagnostic-therapeutic approach is often nail avulsion, which by itself is almost never a treatment. It is self-evident that nail surgery requires in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the nail and it is the dermatologist who takes time and all efforts to learn this. Unfortunately, the huge number of mal-treated ingrown toenails with permanent mutilation of the bit toe gives strong evidence that this situation has not really changed to the better. And here we are at another important issue: function and aesthetics.
Finger and toe nails have important functions for the protection of the distal phalanx, which in turn is a very important sensory organ, a most versatile tool and a weapon for defence and to scratch. For the great toe, the nail exerts counter-pressure for the soft tissue of the toe tip and thus prevents it from being heaped up and dorsally disclocated; thus the big toenail even adds to the safety of gait. Malformed finger nails are embarrassing and may cause considerable concern. In our world of youth and well-being, healthy good-looking nails are important features.
Finally, the nails may reflect general health as was already mentioned by Hipokrates more then 2000 years ago when he noted that clubbed fingers were associated with serious pulmonary and heart problems.
An up-to-date nail book in Chinese is overdue. The authors are reputed experts in this field that unfortunately was a bit neglected for many years. I hope that this book will be a great success in all respects.


The Junior Primary After-care facility is available from 13h00 to 16h45. Our team of After-care staff members provide a home away from home for our little girls. The girls may attend After-care on a regular basis i.e. on a set day or days per term, or on a casual basis. Some homework is supervised, though parents are encouraged to still play a part in checking their daughter's homework. Outdoor and indoor games and refreshments are provided during the afternoon. Pupils are required to be picked up by 16h45.

# AnnoTRAITions

AnnoTRAITions brings the flexibility of [PHP 5.4's Traits](http://php.net/traits) to Java by way of an annotation and an associated processor.

## Introduction

Lovingly borrowed from the PHP documentation on the subject, "Traits are a mechanism for code reuse in single inheritance".

In practice, I've found Traits most usefull as a way to add functionality to an existing Class, without interrupting the logical flow of a hierarchy.

By way of an example, say you have a few Classes;

```Java
public class Apple {
	...
}

public class Orange {
	...
}
```

And some snippets of code for shaing a representation of an Object to Facebook or Twitter;

```Java
public void postToTwitter(Object toPost) {
	String postMessage = "Hey, Twitter, check out, '" + toPost.toString() + "'";
	...
}

public void postToFacebook(Object toPost) {
	String postMessage = "Hey, Facebook, check out, '" + toPost.toString() + "'";
	...
}
```

Now, if you wanted `Apple` and `Orange` to both benifit from all the hard work you put in to write the `postToTwitter` and `postToFacebook` methods, you'd have a few options;

1. Change the methods to be static and wrap them in a class. Then call something like;

	```Java
	Apple apple = new Apple();
	Twitter.postToTwitter(apple);
	```
2. Have `Apple` and `Orange` at some point extend a common Class that has both methods;

	```Java
	Apple apple = new Apple();
	apple.postToTwitter(apple);
	```
3. Traits add an additional option. You can say that all `Apple`s use a Trait called `Tweetable`. They allow you to inject the `postToTwitter` mechanism into your Class without altering your hierarchy, but while still maintaining a relationship between `Apple` and `Tweetable`.

## Installing in Gradle

1. Add the repository to your `build.gradle` file;

	```Groovy
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
    	maven {
        	url 'https://raw.github.com/iainconnor/annoTRAITion/master/maven/'
    	}
	}
	```
2. And add the dependency;

	```Groovy
	dependencies {
		compile 'com.iainconnor:annotraition:1.0.0'
	}
	```

3. Add the annotation processor.

	If you're writing an Android appplication, I'd recommend using the [android-apt](https://bitbucket.org/hvisser/android-apt/overview) plugin. Otherwise, the [gradle-apt](https://github.com/Jimdo/gradle-apt-plugin) plugin should work. Either way, you'll need to add the processor as an additional dependency;

	```Groovy
	dependencies {
		apt 'com.iainconnor.annotraition:processor:1.0.1'
		compile 'com.iainconnor:annotraition:1.0.0'
	}
	```

## Installing in other build tools

1. Download the `.jar` for the latest version [from this repository](https://github.com/iainconnor/AnnoTRAITion/tree/master/maven/com/iainconnor/annotraition).
2. And the `.jar` for the latest processor [from this repository](https://github.com/iainconnor/AnnoTRAITion/tree/master/maven/com/iainconnor/annotraition/processor).
3. Add both to your porject and find out how to add these flags to the javac compilation;

	```
	-proc:only -processor com.iainconnor.annotraition.processor.Processor
	```

## Usage

1. Create your Trait. Returning to the example from above, you'll need to add the `@Trait` annotation, have it extend `com.iainconnor.annotraition.MasterTrait`, and implement the Constructor from that Class;

	```Java
	@Trait
	public class Tweetable extends com.iainconnor.annotraition.MasterTrait {
		public Tweetable(Object traitedObject) {
			super(traitedObject);
		}

		public void postToTwitter() {
			String postMessage = "Hey, Twitter, check out, '" + traitedObject.toString() + "'";
			...
		}
	}
	```

	Note that `MasterTrait` adds an `Object traitedObject`. You can use this Object to get the instance that has the Trait applied to it.

2. Have your Classes that want to use a Trait do so through the `@Use` annotation;

	```Java
	@Use (Tweetable.class)
	public class Apple {
		...
	}
	```

3. Or your Classes that want to use more than one Trait do so through the `@Uses` annotation;

	```Java
	@Uses ({@Use (Tweetable.class), @Use (Facebookable.class)})
	public class Orange {
		...
	}
	```

4. In the rest of your code, use the traited versions of your Classes. After the annotation processor has run, two new classes will be built with the names `_AppleTraited` and `_OrangeTraited`;

	```Java
	_AppleTraited apple = new _AppleTraited();
	apple.postToTwitter();
	```

### FAQs

1. Whats really going on here?

	Good question. I find the easiest way to understand what's at work is to look at the output of our example above. This is the contents of `_OrangeTraited.java` after being annotated;

	```Java
	// Generated by AnnoTRAITion.
	// Do not edit, your changes will be overridden.
	public class _OrangeTraited extends Orange {
		protected Facebookable facebookable;
		protected Tweetable tweetable;

		public _OrangeTraited() {
			super();
			this.facebookable = new Facebookable(this);
			this.tweetable = new Tweetable(this);
		}

		/**
		 * Passes through to `Facebookable.postToFacebook`.
		 */
		public void postToFacebook() {
			this.facebookable.postToFacebook();
		}

		/**
		 * Passes through to `Tweetable.postToTwitter`.
		 */
		public void postToTwitter() {
			tweetable.postToTwitter();
		}
	}
	```

	As you can see, local instances of the Traits have been added to this subclass, and any methods in those Traits are wrapped by proxy methods.

2. I heard that annotations slow down your code execution!

	Many annotations use run-time reflection, which can slow down your application, which is why AnnoTRAITions runs exclusively at compile time. No additional code except the example you see above is added to your run-time processing.

That my friends is how many days it is until Christmas.
I've made it no secret that I love Christmas and the holiday season. I can't wait to bring all of my decorations out of the closets and fill the house with holiday décor. I'll decorate each room, one by one filling it with Christmas knickknacks. The last two years, I've put together a new theme tree. Two years ago it was the candy apple red tree that was filled with unique ornaments. Last year, I created a beach themed tree filled with sea creatures, hula dancer lights and a light house tree topper. I went all out with that tree!
I can't wait to start working on it but sharing a house with someone now means I have to also respect their wishes of celebrating Halloween before putting anything Christmas up. In the meantime I'll plan out my decorations and gear up. I'll accumulate all the decorations I need and be ready to put everything up the day after Halloween is over. What goes best with Thanksgiving turkey? A Christmas tree!
And for those of you who might be wondering, the white candy tree will be back again this year. It'll be it's third year and I always worry about the lights coming on! Haha!
Are you planning your decorations early? What's your favorite holiday to decorate the house?
Yay that means it's just a little over 100 days till my honeymoon!
You put xmas stuff up the day after Halloween? Wow, that's early.
Love the candy tree, gorgeous. You do such great stuff for holidays, maybe you should set up a side business and charge people for doing their decorations.


Elbohouty, M., Wilson, M. T., Voss, L. J., Steyn-Ross, D. A., & Hunt, L. A. (2013). In vitro electrical conductivity of seizing and non-seizing mouse brain slices at 10 kHz.. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 58(11), 3599-3613.
The electrical conductivity of small samples of mouse cortex (in vitro) has been measured at 10 kHz through the four-electrode method of van der Pauw. Brain slices from three mice were prepared under seizing and non-seizing conditions by changing the concentration of magnesium in the artificial cerebrospinal fluid used to maintain the tissue. These slices provided 121 square samples of cortical tissue; the conductivity of these samples was measured with an Agilent E4980A four-point impedance monitor. Of these, 73 samples were considered acceptable on the grounds of having good electrical contact between electrodes and tissue excluding outlier measurements. Results show that there is a significant difference (p = 0.03) in the conductivities of the samples under the two conditions. The seizing and non-seizing samples have mean conductivities of 0.33 and 0.36 S m⁻¹, respectively; however, these quantitative values should be used with caution as they are both subject to similar systematic uncertainties due to non-ideal temperature conditions and non-ideal placement of electrodes. We hypothesize that the difference between them, which is more robust to uncertainty, is due to the changing gap junction connectivity during seizures.


We are unable to go to AmyJo this weekend as tomorrow I am race officer at the sailing club. Our regulars may recall we are going to move AmyJo to Tattenhall Marina in July so we thought it was about time we visited there and gave them an update.
Chris and I wish Mike and Helen many happy days cruising in Little Bear and we look forward to spending time out on the cut with them. Little Bear looks brilliant and we love her artwork, especially the A in "BEAR" depicted as a paw print, very clever.
Seems Mark and Corrinne were not about either, is everyone avoiding us? :-) I'm sure our paths will cross sometime.
I have now managed to get some of our time lapse videos up onto Youtube and have added another page to the blog to make them easily found. Unfortunately the camera we use must have been bitten by a tetsi fly as half way through each day's cruising on the way home it went into sleep mode for over two hours. I'm not happy with this so after much sole searching I've decided to get a new camera so have ordered a Gopro Hero 3+ as its by far a much better camera for the job (and less chunky). I've still more videos to put up so keep checking in from time to to for updates.
Good to see we shall be neighbours and look forward to meeting you both.

The Lagos State government yesterday sealed a filling station, an hotel and event centre belonging to a suspected Badoo cult kingpin, Alhaji Alaka Abayomi Kamal.
The police had on December 22, 2017, declared Alaka wanted in connection with series of well-orchestrated killings and nefarious activities of the Badoo cult group in Ikorodu and Epe area of the state. Alaka is believed to be the ringleader of the Badoo menace.
The state government in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, said the order sealing off the structures was in pursuant to Section 60 of the said law.
It would be recalled that the state's Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal, on Tuesday, paraded a Badoo kingpin arrested in Ikorodu axis who confessed to the killings and took police to their shrine in Imosan, a suburb of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, where the group's chief herbalist, Fatai Adebayo, was arrested.
"The government is once again asking its citizens to go about their businesses without fear. We will leave no stone unturned in keeping the state safe in 2018," Ayorinde assured Lagosians.

A global company with revenue of $3.0 billion in fiscal 2010, Amdocs has over 19,000 employees and serves customers in more than 60 countries worldwide.
Amdocs was looking for a way to make their InTouch events more social and mobile-centric. Since 2001, Amdocs has been hosting InTouch events around the globe. These events are by invitation only and feature forward-thinking presentations and inspirational sessions. The events are also designed to enable attendee networking and collaboration.
When asked, "Why did you choose DoubleDutch?", Schaaf replied that DoubleDutch was a "cost-effective pre-defined set of micro apps that are already tested and easy to implement." He also pointed to technical support from the DoubleDutch team as a key factor in the superior quality of the product.
DoubleDutch and Amdocs worked together to bring a comprehensive and effective app into the market for use at all InTouch events. The first event was InTouch Miami, from May 13-18 (600 registrants). We have powered a second event since then, InTouch Singapore (300 registrants). The information below is data from the first event only.
The database was pre-populated with 605 user profiles and there was a strong group of active users that did more than simply sign-in to the app. They created a profile, checked into places, added comments, added photos, and more.
Activity Feed – See what other InTouch attendees are doing, who they are connecting with, which sessions are popular, comments, ratings, and more.
Profile - Users have entirely self-managed profiles with the option to add a profile photo, log activity, connect with friends, send direct messages, and more.
Contacts - Stay in touch with the people you connected with at the event.
My Sessions - Keep track of the sessions you want to attend and have attended.
Sessions - Have mobile access to the event schedule. See the details of each session – who is speaking, where the session is located, start and end times, etc.
Badges - Collect badges based on number of check-ins, photo uploads, and commenting on others activities.
Leaderboard - Monitor your points and social media status compared to your peers at the event.
Twitter – Read up on the twitter activity around the official event hashtag, directly available on your phone.
InTouch TV- Enables conference attendees to view video clips created during the event. Attendees can comment, rate, and share the videos with others. InTouch TV was built using the Amdocs Device Abstraction solution: Streamezzo. This solution allows customizing innovative apps and easily managing them across multiple platforms and mobile OS.

Q: How to insert an image with transparent background into PDF? I set the background of my PDF reader to be light green in order to describe my question. I want to insert an image into the PDF using LaTeX and hope the inserted image become part of the PDF file. Just like this figure:

However, I used the graphicx package and inserted one image (EPS figure) into the PDF. The result looks like this:

How can I insert an image into a PDF file in LaTeX like the first figure?
This is not transparency. It is a SVG problem.


Actually, when we are discussing an issue of environment, we mean everything that surrounds us, as this phenomenon encompasses all living and non-lining things existing on the Earth. To write an excellent environment essay, it is imperative for an individual to understand the essence of the word "environment". The thing is that it does not only denote our physical surrounding, but also so-called psycho-social atmosphere around each human being. At the same time, it seems to be easy to highlight this problem in a piece of writing, owing to the fact that we face it every day.
Admittedly, it is not enough just to state what you either like or dislike about certain problem. To produce a brilliant environment essay, you should have something more to communicate than simply your personal experience. For sure, each good writer knows the scientific sides of the discussed issue. In this case, it is preferable to bear basic knowledge of chemistry, sociology and climatology. Besides, the writer is obliged to follow main climatic highlights, as they are directly connected with our environment. Interestingly, various chemical substances are able to change our environmental conditions and even the people's behavior. However, in case you do not have enough free time to carry out a thorough research in this field, you can contact MasterPapers.com for good reference material.
It is crystal clear that we are strolling with a resolute stride to the dead-end in terms of pollution. Therefore, many readers are interested in this theme. From this very reason, your environment essay might provide the comments on economic, physical and political factors of pollution where green house effect leads to the global warming. Thus the world is facing such disasters as forest fires, droughts and storms. Actually, it is possible to highlight these problems in each paragraph separately. Finally, you should not forget about the reasons of this distraction and the effective solutions.
First of all, you have to come up with a topic you are interested in or would like to get familiar with in case you are not assigned one. Secondly, it is always helpful to jot down a brief outline for your future writing, as it is going to facilitate the process itself. Afterwards, you may look through the available sources to make use of. Speaking about environment essay, you are free to analyze previous researches on the related topics, as they might include information which can become a good hint for you. Having coped with this stage, you are allowed to switch to your paper. Traditionally, you should start with an introduction where you are obliged to mention your thesis statement. Then you move to body paragraphs and to the logical conclusion at the very end.
