Abstract : This article aims to understand the role of policy stability perception in the dynamic of network infrastructures regulation. We contribute to the literature by developing an abstract description in which the regulatory institutions in some countries have virtuous relation with network industries, while other countries enter in a vicious cycle. The asset specificities inherent to network industries mean high transaction costs, which in turn raises the hold-up risk. We depart from the idea that regulation (as tariffs structures) is a kind of contract between government and private companies. As explained by Williamson (1976) and Goldberg (1976), it is a special kind of arrangement in the presence of incomplete contract that is able to protect players from holding up themselves. However, regulation can actual play a positive or a negative role in the network infrastructure development. We depart from the contract theory proposed by Salant and Woroch (1992), who model the governments' incentives to behave opportunistically according to investors' investment profiles. We show that their analysis, which is based on the incentive compatibility principles, explains behaviour differences if the investment profile of the industry is heterogeneous. However, it is no able to explain why industries with similar investment profile in different countries have completely different dynamics. Stein et al. (2008) underlined the importance of policy stability to understanding the Latin America success (or failure) in implementing policies. We include the variable policy stability perception as a significant element in the understanding of the government's incentives to behave opportunistically. We check our model with the case study of natural gas network in Argentina. This analysis contributes to understand the role network industries regulation to deal with hold-up problem and how the institutional environment in which regulatory agencies are embedded matters.
Abstract : This study analyzes the relationship between debt and outside equity investments in early stage firms. The existing evidence on this relationship is scarce and inconclusive, mostly due to the pervasive opaqueness of new ventures. We argue that debt and its usage can be valuable signals for outside investors facing severe information asymmetries. In addition, we examine how personal and business debt could signal different information to outside investors. Using panel data on new ventures in the US from the Kauffman Firm Survey, we find evidence consistent with our arguments. We reveal that debt, and particularly business debt, is positively related to outside equity investments, especially in times of economic distress. We posit that start-ups with higher levels of business debt can send more credible signals to capital markets, and identify cash holdings and the firm-bank relationship as possible information channels for outside investors.
Abstract : This article explores how the possibility of collusion affects relational contracts. Responsibility for a contract is delegated to a supervisor who cares about both production and kickbacks paid by the agents, neither of which are contractible. We characterize the optimal supervisor-agent relational contract and show that the relationship between joint surplus and production is nonmonotonic. Delegation may benefit the principal when relational contracting is difficult by easing the time inconsistency problem of paying incentive payments. For the principal, the optimal supervisor has incentives that are partially, but not completely, aligned with her own.
Abstract : Established in the late 1990s, China's rural land rental market is now revolutionizing agriculture by upgrading smallholder production to factory farming. However, there is little empirical evidence on recent developments in this market, in particular on the design of rental contracts, which profoundly affects participants' welfare and agricultural production. I study rental contracts as outcomes of bargains over two contractual terms: contractual flexibility and rental payment. The theory I present shows which equations should be estimated in an empirical test of the bargaining process. The empirical structure indicated by my theory is markedly different from that in existing empirical contributions, which helps to explain why those contributions obtain seemingly inconsistent results. I conducted a survey in 2014 capturing current developments in the market. Applying the survey data to the theoretically justified empirical model, I draw two empirical conclusions in addition to providing support for my characterization of the bargaining mechanism. First, the renting-in agents' ownership of enterprises and their social proximity to the renting-out partners decrease contractual flexibility and increase rental payment, indicating that entrepreneurship within a village social network promotes agricultural development and village prosperity. Second, the rental payment offered to the renting-out agents with long-term non-agricultural employment is higher than that offered to the renting-out agents with short-term or temporary employment, suggesting a potential increase in income inequality within the village.

About Harley-Davidson® of Frederick & Williamsport
Home › Info › About Us
In the early 1900's H.F. Shipley, an independent agent, posted an advertisement in "The Semi-Weekly News" soliciting order for "The new Harley-Davidson®" and invited patrons to stop in and "view the machine that has created all the talk."
In 1918, due to the high volume of interest, J. Paul Delphey acquired the first Harley-Davidson® franchise within Delphy's Sporting Goods. This franchise would encompass three generations and become the oldest Harley-Davidson® dealership east of the Mississippi. In fact, both Mr. Harley and Mr. Davidson visited the dealership shortly after it opened in 1918.
In the mid-1970s, the Delphy's wanted to explore other business ventures and made the decision to sell the franchise. Mike Vantucci, a "want-to-be dirt track racer", had pursued a few career options after college, however was very interested in purchasing the franchise. So, upon conversing with a few of his dealer friends, he and his wife, Nancy, purchased the franchise in March of 1978.
Many people told Nan and Mike they were making a mistake starting a Harley-Davidson® franchise, however, they saw great potential, and over 30 years later have a successful dealership in Frederick and a second successful dealership in Williamsport, Maryland. Nan and Mike take a great deal of pride in their Harley-Davidson® dealerships, the products, services, and lifestyle they deliver to their customers. They are motorcycle enthusiasts and very much enjoy participating in the events and activities sponsored by the dealership.
In 2003, while Harley-Davidson® Motor Company was celebrating it's 100th year in the industry, Mike & Nan opened a sister store in Williamsport, Maryland. Harley-Davidson® of Williamsport is excited to be a part of Williamsport, Maryland and keeping it rich history alive.
Through the years, Harley-Davidson® of Frederick has earned 8 prestigious Gold Bar and Shield awards from the Motor Company, 7 years of which were consecutive. Mike and Nan attribute their awards to their employees.

As the world becomes more populous, urbanised and prosperous, demand for energy, food and water will rise. But the Earth has a finite amount of natural resources that can be used to satisfy this demand.
Climate change is, of course, a very long-term trend. However, the biggest change in this area over the last couple of years has been the increased certainty and accuracy of scientific predictions about the rate and effect of human impact on the climate.
While scientific debate continues, we believe the fundamental analysis of the challenge facing the planet is correct: the planet is unable to support current models of production and consumption. Without significant global action, average temperatures are predicted to increase by more than two degrees Celsius, a threshold at which scientists believe significant and potentially irreversible environmental changes will occur. At the same time, the pressure on resources will increase dramatically.
A growing global population is expected to demand 35% more food by 2030. And the type of food increasingly demanded as populations' incomes rise – vegetable oils, dairy, meat, fish and sugar – will have a particularly high impact on energy and water. The interconnectivity between trends in climate change and resource scarcity is amplifying the impact: climate change could reduce agricultural productivity by up to a third across large parts of Africa over the next 60 years. Globally, demand for water will increase by 40% and for energy by 50%.
In short, the world's current economic model is pushing beyond the limits of the planet's ability to cope.
There is increasing certainty, too, about rising sea-levels. Even just two years ago the expectation was that sea levels will rise by approximately a metre by 2100. The current prediction makes double that estimate look increasingly possible by the end of the century. And warming the planet by 1.5 degrees suggests an estimate of six to seven metres increase by 2500. That would see a huge proportion of the eastern seaboard of China, for example, underwater.
By the end of this century 150-200 million people could be on the move from land that will be under water by the end of century. The impact is already being felt in low-lying coastal cities. In Dar Es Salaam, for example, water is becoming saline as coastal freshwater aquifers are over used, and sea water intrudes.
Only 3% of the world's water is freshwater – and only a quarter of that is accessible from rivers, lakes or the ground. The rest is locked in to inaccessible stores such as glaciers. The International Water Management Institute estimates that nearly every country south of 35N latitude will experience economic or physical water scarcity by 2025. At present some 11% of the world's land surface is used in crop production.
The demand for energy to increase food production will increase significantly. In the developed world, seven units of fossil fuel energy are needed to produce one unit of food energy. And, overall, the current methods of energy and resource-intensive approaches to agricultural production are a major factor in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to climate change.
Several countries in the world currently combine high levels of human development alongside a low ecological footprint. Businesses that are already experiencing the direct impacts of the 'water, land, energy' nexus are starting to innovate in response. One food processor and manufacturer in South Africa for example, is increasingly becoming a renewable energy producer, using poultry waste and waste water from production facilities to power its plants and to generate profits.
Policy developments reflect scientific consensus – but do they go far enough?
Advances in scientific understanding have helped support greater political agreement on a global basis. The Paris Agreement agreed under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in December 2015 saw governments from around the world agree to take the steps required to limit increased warming to an average of two-degrees.
Significantly, they also recognised that this target was inadequate, with an aim of 1.5 degrees suggested instead to reduce the impact. Achieving this would require an almost immediate halt to unabated carbon emissions. The UN's 193 member states also adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. These frame 17 goals for sustainable economic development, covering a wide range of activities and their impacts across key areas including economic development, climate change, environmental improvement, water quality, and urban development.
Progress towards the SDGs will shape legislative and regulatory frameworks as well as investment and aid flows. The private sector has been heavily involved in their development, recognising the need to develop (and be seen to develop) a clear social purpose that can confer and strengthen their licence to operate, as well as enabling thriving societies and economies.
A further clear development over the last two years has been the hardening of the economic argument for action on climate change. Carbontracker's has estimated that only one third of the world's current proven reserves of fossil fuel could be burned without temperature increases exceeding two degrees by 2100, raising the urgency of action to an even greater extent than was thought to be the case even just two years ago when we first outlined the megatrends.
Our own analysis further shows that continuing to burn fossil fuels in line with current levels would exhaust the world's 2 degree 'budget' by 2036. There will need to be urgent and significant action. In practice, we expect policy actions to be unpredictable and inconsistent. Policy makers are likely to be driven by short-term reactions to natural events. We believe that businesses must play a leading role in mitigating environmental damage, while making their organisations more agile and resilient to the changes that an unpredictable climate and policy environment will inevitably bring.
Employment numbers in the renewables industry are increasing at the same time as the numbers in the fossil fuels sector are declining sharply. They increased sharply in 2014/15 as jobs in oil and gas dropped significantly.
Major oil companies are now talking actively about the transition to a low-carbon economy. Others outside the traditional energy sector are also taking a significant interest in alternative energy, creating opportunities for many others to enter a fast-growing market. The largest players, in contrast, are not moving as fast. In fact, the largest global investor in alternative energy behind China and Saudi Arabia is Google. The latter's mission to solve the largest global problems is a clear driver of Google's interest, alongside its own considerable energy consumption. Some countries are also beginning to see the positive results from their efforts to decarbonise energy supply.
In 2016, for example, for one day, the UK generated all of its electricity without using any coal –the first time that's happened since coal was first used to generate power in 1855. In the Spring of 2016 Portugal generated all of its power for a week using only renewable sources.
"The expectation on business today is increasingly recognised as needing to go beyond maximising return to shareholders. Companies must understand and measure wider concerns and understand impacts on society and the environment. This will require new ways of measuring things, and longer time frames for return on investment."
As initiatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals achieve greater prominence, there will be a growing expectation on business to engage with this global framework. The purpose of business is increasingly recognised as needing to go far beyond the narrow definition of maximising returns to shareholders. A reframing of the imperative to operate as a responsible business will involve both understanding and measuring a wider set of concerns that reflect broader reflection of companies' impacts on society and the environment. This will require new ways of measuring things, and longer timeframes for return on investment. For example, IKEA has removed all high–energy lights from its stores and by 2020 aims to be more than 100% renewably powered across its entire global estate, selling excess energy back to the grid, thus removing energy from its risk register.
It's an example of the longer-term thinking (and the investment horizon) that is required to deliver positive financial, social and environmental results. The IEA estimates that efficiency measures could save nearly a fifth of worldwide energy consumption. A growing number of indexes show that businesses with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) attributes consistently outperform the market. As well-run companies they understand the risks – including environmental and social risks – that they face and manage them well.
Corporate Social Responsibility used to be a 'luxury' businesses liked to speak about, but were often a veneer. Not anymore. Sustainability is becoming the lens through which a business is judged by its consumers, workforce, society and increasingly its investors.
Business: a driving force for a thriving society in a thriving environment?

Oovoo gives Facebook users their own Google Hangouts
Ryan Kim May 22, 2012 - 6:00 AM CDT
Oovoo, the video conferencing service popular with the young set, is helping Facebook (s fb) get some Google (s goog) Hangout-like coolness with a new Facebook app that offers up to 12-person video chats. The Facebook app is part of a big overhaul for Oovoo's product lineup, which includes a redesigned iPad app that handles 12-way calls and displays four simultaneous video calls as well as a new web app that can also handle 12-way video chats.
New York City-based Oovoo is now up to 46 million registered users who are increasingly using Oovoo to broadcast their lives and spend hours on end with friends. The new products and updates should accelerate usage even more, especially now that Facebook is part of the Oovoo network. Facebook already has a video chat application thanks to a partnership with Skype (s msft) but that app doesn't allow multiparty video. With the Oovoo app, users can now conduct 12-way video calls right inside Facebook and they can easily start calling either Oovoo users or other Facebook users. Facebook users who haven't downloaded the app get prompted to do so the first time.
The iPad app is also a big improvement for Oovoo. It supports four streams simultaneously and 12-way calling. Previously, the iPad, iPhone and Android apps supported six people on a call but could only display one other user live at a time. The iPad app's UI has also been upgraded to allow one-click Facebook registrations and the ability for users to initiate calls by dragging and dropping contacts into the calls.
Oovoo is providing a new way to invite people into chats with Call Link, which allows users to send out a chat invitation via email, text or through social channels. For people who click on the link, they can fire up a new web-based version of Oovoo that doesn't require a download.
Robert Jackman, Oovoo's executive chairman, told me by using Facebook and enabling more sharing though Call Link, Oovoo has the ability to foster even more connections with people. And it highlights just how robust the video calling network is. While Skype provides multi-party calling as a premium service for computers, it doesn't offer it yet for Facebook or its mobile apps. Oovoo was built as a cloud application, said Jackman, and it's able to scale up quickly to handle more more users and multiparty conferencing.
The service has been on a tear since launching in late 2010. It's become a go-to resource for teenagers and young adults, with more than 60 percent of Oovoo users under the age of 25. The average user is spending 200 minutes a month on the service, often keeping it on in the background as they go on about their lives.

Chinese military experts believe the US is using North Korea as a cover to deploy more ships to curb Beijing's military aspirations in the Pacific.
The US likely plans to deploy some four to six aircraft combat groups to the Pacific region under the pretext of countering the growing North Korean threat following the recent nuclear test, the South China Morning Post reported.
"We will continue to assure that we meet all of our missions here in the Asia-Pacific area. It could be something coming forward from Third Fleet or something like that to meet those requirements," said Chief of US Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson on Tuesday.
He did not elaborate when or how many ships will be deployed.
However, as the Chinese news outlet points out, Chinese military experts have a different point of view on the Pentagon's incentive.
According to Song Zhongping, a military commentator for Hong Kong's Phoenix Television, the move might target Chinese military presence in the region instead.
"The Chinese navy and Air Force will face unprecedented challenges if the US reinforces its military deployment in the western Pacific, because it's likely the Pentagon would deploy four to six aircraft carrier battle groups to the region," he said.
He estimated that if the Pentagon actually intends to conduct a military operation against North Korea, it will need four to six carrier groups in the area, while the US at the moment only has three.
Song's views are also shared by Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie, who agrees that the US might actually be targeting China, as the recently published US national security strategy singles out Russia and China as "revisionist powers."
"The US feels under pressure watching the PLA Navy and Air Force growing so rapidly," he told SCMP.
He explained that, under normal circumstances, the US kept one carrier group in the region, but had to increase its military presence in response to the growing Chinese military threat.
"Trump's administration realized that its current military deployment… is far from enough to cope with the increased security challenges in the region," Li said.
He also pointed out that Washington's move is not unexpected, as China will soon have two carrier battle groups of its own and expects the US to react accordingly.
According to the military analysts, the latest North Korean missile has a range of 13,000 km which puts the whole US mainland within reach of Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal.

Q: How do I read .owl files in java and display its contents? How do I read .owl files in java and display its contents?

A: The OWL API in source forge (http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/) has all the basic functions, although the documentation is barely enough. You may end up wasting time figuring out how do the complex functions not shown in the examples.
I would recommend going for the Protege API for OWL files. (http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/ProtegeOWL_API_Programmers_Guide/). This API has good documentation and the wiki is easy to navigate. OWL files are not easy to work around because of its semantic nature and building your own API might not be easy. Protege also has SWRL API if you want to process axioms and rules.

A: Use The OWL API.

A: What's the context? OWL is an ontology format read by http://protege.stanford.edu/.

A: You have several options.
.owl files are text files, and you can display them that way.
.owl uses XML, so you can treat it like an XML document. Refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-xmlsyntax/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-overview/ for a list of tags and what they represent.
Or you can use the OWL API. You can download it at: http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/index.html, and there are several examples at http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
Displaying and OWL ontology is somewhat challenging because the information you want to display can be highly linked, so its structure is that of a graph rather than sequential or tabular. It is possible for classes to be subclasses many other subclasses, and cyclical classification is possible. That is, A can be a subclass of B, which can be a subclass of C which can be a subclass of A.

A: Here is an example to parse an OWL ontology with the OWL API library:
import static org.semanticweb.owlapi.search.Searcher.annotations;
import static org.semanticweb.owlapi.vocab.OWLRDFVocabulary.RDFS_LABEL;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.semanticweb.owlapi.apibinding.OWLManager;
import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.IRI;
import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLAnnotation;

public class OwlParser {

    private final OWLOntology ontology;
    private OWLDataFactory df;

    public OwlParser(OWLOntology ontology, OWLDataFactory df) {
        this.ontology = ontology;
        this.df = df;
    }

    public void parseOntology()
            throws OWLOntologyCreationException {

        for (OWLClass cls : ontology.getClassesInSignature()) {
            String id = cls.getIRI().toString();
            String label = get(cls, RDFS_LABEL.toString()).get(0);
            System.out.println(label + " [" + id + "]");
        }
    }

    private List<String> get(OWLClass clazz, String property) {
        List<String> ret = new ArrayList<>();

        final OWLAnnotationProperty owlProperty = df
                .getOWLAnnotationProperty(IRI.create(property));
        for (OWLOntology o : ontology.getImportsClosure()) {
            for (OWLAnnotation annotation : annotations(
                    o.getAnnotationAssertionAxioms(clazz.getIRI()), owlProperty)) {
                if (annotation.getValue() instanceof OWLLiteral) {
                    OWLLiteral val = (OWLLiteral) annotation.getValue();
                    ret.add(val.getLiteral());
                }
            }
        }
        return ret;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws OWLException,
            InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException,
            ClassNotFoundException {

        String x = "http://ontology.neuinfo.org/NIF/Dysfunction/NIF-Dysfunction.owl";

        IRI documentIRI = IRI.create(x);
        OWLOntologyManager manager = OWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager();
        OWLOntology ontology = manager
                .loadOntologyFromOntologyDocument(documentIRI);
        OwlParser parser = new OwlParser(ontology, manager.getOWLDataFactory());
        parser.parseOntology();
    }
}

A: There is one more way using jena api in JAVA but you have to create SDB or TDB files for the given OWL file. Then you can query using SPARQL. JENA API

Q: Overwriting Cisco ASA config using only console access I'd like to be able to apply a pre-written config to a Cisco ASA 5505, but presently I only have access to it via the serial console and not over the network.
Various sources suggest pasting the config into the terminal when in Global Configuration mode. The difficulty with this is that it merges the pasted config with the current running config, as opposed to replacing it, leaving some remnants of the original config, and sometimes causing odd errors. I can run a configure factory-default first to put the ASA back to a simple factory default configuration, but even then there's enough in the running config to mean the resultant merged config isn't quite right.
I appreciate that I could do the following:

*

*Paste in chunks and address errors as they arise

*Compare the resultant running config against my pre-written one

*Remove any elements that are remnants from the base config

...but that's error prone and time consuming. If there's a way to do a straight overwrite/replace, it would be useful for the future.
I don't necessarily need to replace the running config; replacing the startup config and reloading would be preferable really.
So, is there a way to be able to reliably overwrite the config on an ASA rather than merging it with the current config using only console access, or can it only be done via TFTP/ASDM/etc?

A: Updated Answer to Address Updated Question
New key information:
There is no possibility of temporarily configuring an ethernet port on the ASA to provide IP communications. As a result any answer cannot require the use of ASDM (HTTP/HTTPS), TFTP, SSH, or Telnet.
Answer
The answer is that if your only way to connect to the ASA is via the console cable and you have a premade configuration you want to have on the ASA then you must make the configuration changes manually. This might mean writing out the negative forms of existing commands and inserting it at the beginning of your config but will require either typing the commands or copy and pasting the commands.
Why
More important the the answer to this question is understanding what the different ways to load a configuration onto an ASA are what each one does and doesn't do.
According to Cisco there are a number of ways you can restore an ASA configuration. As the OP identified not all of these solutions give you the desired result without some manual work but if your only option is using a serial cable you are going to have to do some manual work no matter what.
You will notice I am going to start with TFTP and it is first because this continues to be the preferred method to upload configuration files and firmware to ASA and IOS devices.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol or TFTP is a UDP based IP communication protocol. In order to use TFTP you will need to setup a TFTP server and the Cisco ASA will need to have network access to the same network the TFTP server is running on. Because TFTP is an IP communication protocol you cannot use TFTP to transfer a configuration file to an ASA if your computer is only connected to the ASA with a console cable.
TFTP requires the use of IP to connect the ASA to your computer.
The commands below can be used to upload a configuration file to from a TFTP server to an ASA.
copy tftp://server[/path]/filename startup-config
wr mem
reload

FTP
File Transfer Protocol or FTP is a UDP based IP communication protocol. In order to use FTP you will need to setup a FTP server and the Cisco ASA will need to have network access to the same network the FTP server is running on. Because FTP is an IP communication protocol you cannot use FTP to transfer a configuration file to an ASA if your computer is only connected to the ASA with a console cable.
FTP requires the use of IP to connect the ASA to your computer.
The commands below can be used to upload a configuration file to from a FTP server to an ASA.
copy ftp://[user[:password]@]server[/path]/filename startup-config
wr mem
reload

HTTP/HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol or HTTP and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure or HTTPS are TCP based IP communication protocols. In order to use HTTP or HTTPS you will need to setup a HTTP or HTTPS server and the Cisco ASA will need to have network access to the same network the HTTP or HTTPS server is running on. Because HTTP and HTTPS are IP communication protocols you cannot use HTTP or HTTPS to transfer a configuration file to an ASA if your computer is only connected to the ASA with a console cable.
HTTP and HTTPS require the use of IP to connect the ASA to your computer.
The commands below can be used to upload a configuration file to from a HTTP or HTTPS server to an ASA.
copy http[s]://[user[:password]@]server[:port][/path]/filename startup-config
wr mem

So, if you use a terminal emulation program (like Putty) to "transfer" the configuration to an ASA that is fine as long as you don't mind transferring the config by text instead of uploading the file.
As the you know if you copy paste the premade config into Putty then it will merge the premade config with the existing config on the ASA. You have two choices now. You can copy paste the premade config into Putty and use no at the beginning of each line in the new config that needs to be removed. After you remove the lines you don't need in the config then you can use the command wr mem and reload to save the changes from running-config to startup-config and restart the ASA. The other method is similiar but allows you do do all of the configuration changes at once. You will need to download the running-config from the ASA (you can enter the command sh run in Putty and if you have Putty's logging turned on it will create a text file on your computer with the sh run output). Now that you have the running-config add no to the beginning of each line that needs to come out of the running-config. Copy the lines you edited in the running-config. Open your premade config and at the end of the text file paste the edited lines from the running-config. Copy and paste your complete config into Putty. After the config is entered on the ASA you will have your proper config uploaded to the running-config. Now run wr mem to save the startup-config to running-config. After the config is saved restart the ASA with the command reload.
GUI
Of course if you want to overwrite the ASA running-config with your premade config from a GUI you can use ASDM. ASDM requires the HTTP server to be enabled on the ASA. That means for ASDM to be an option you must have an ethernet port on the ASA configured and the ASA needs to be connected to the same network the computer you are starting ASDM from is connected to.
Based on the requirements you have your only option is using the Terminal Emulation Program method. If you need more information please read the articles below.

This is brilliant as I'm writing a fiction based on fact book on witches in 16th Century UK. Thanks a bunch for this very interesting information.
Hiya, this helped loads with my homework thanks!!
What The Hell? Your A Voo Doo I Bet Your The Girl From My School. Stupid.
People back in the 17th Century took the Bible literally and believed that Heaven and Hell were real places. Everyone, not just the monarchy, thought that witches made a pact with the Devil in return for their supernatural abilities. They killed the witches because they feared the Devil, not because they worshipped him.
I know it's rediculous !!!!
Brilliant information set out really well. It was fascinating. Thank you.


The owner of a Jackson Pollock painting stolen from Scranton's Everhart Museum two months ago said he has forwarded the name of his No. 1 suspect to the FBI, and that the person has a connection to the museum.
The Pollock's owner is an artist formerly from northeastern Pennsylvania, whose paintings are featured in museums and private collections around the country. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he does not want to draw attention to himself, or to his own art collection.
The thief or thieves who broke into the Everhart on Nov. 18 swiped two artworks: an oil by Pollock that could be worth millions of dollars and a less valuable silkscreen by Andy Warhol.
Everhart spokesman Joe Palumbo said Thursday that museum officials don't believe the theft was perpetrated by anyone affiliated with the museum. "But then, to clarify that, they have no idea" who did it, he said.
The owner declined to say why he suspects the person whose name he gave the FBI, but said his information is based on official accounts of what happened and his knowledge of the museum's security.
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the agency is investigating but declined to provide details.
The painting's owner said Thursday that he purchased the painting, created in 1949, from Pollock himself for about $1,000. The painting remained part of his personal collection for decades before he decided to lend it to the Everhart Museum more than two years ago.
Authorities have previously referred to the painting as "Springs Winter," but the owner said the correct name is "Winter in Springs."
"Winter in Springs" is not included in the catalogue of Pollock's known work, but Helen Harrison, director of the Pollock-Krasner House & Study Center, said that previously unheard-of works by the famed abstract expressionist have occasionally come to light.
The painting's owner said that for security reasons, he would never reveal the existence of a painting until he was ready to sell it or lend it. He said he owns other works by Pollock.
Although the 40-inch-by-32-inch painting has never changed hands, a similar work by Pollock sold at auction for $11.6 million in May 2004. Experts have said the Warhol, a 1984 silkscreen called "Le Grande Passion," is worth $10,000 to $15,000. The Warhol was part of the Everhart's permanent collection.
"Winter in Springs" wasn't insured, according to the owner and the museum. The owner said insurance on art is prohibitively expensive and that he doesn't know a private collector who has it.
Authorities have said that the thieves shattered a glass door at the rear of the Everhart to gain entry. They tripped motion sensors, but were gone by the time police arrived.
Surveillance cameras were not working. Even if they had been, the cameras are not set up to record images, Palumbo said.
The owner said he was recently summoned to testify at a grand jury session that was subsequently canceled. Palumbo said that to his knowledge, a grand jury has not been convened to investigate the theft. Grand jury proceedings are secret in Pennsylvania.
The Everhart never established the Pollock's provenance when it accepted the painting from its owner, but the FBI is going on the assumption that the painting is genuine, FBI spokeswoman Jerri Williams said. The FBI investigates stolen art only when it is worth $100,000 or more, or if it is at least 100 years old and worth $5,000 or more.
"We are pursuing it and attempting to identify who is responsible and, if possible, recover the artwork," Williams said.
Pollock, who created his abstract art by dripping and pouring paint on large canvasses spread on the floor, died in a drunken-driving crash in 1956 at the age of 44.

Gay Porn Filmed on the London Underground
David Heulfryn / 1 February 2019 1 February 2019 / HungYoungBrit, Screeve
Well it just goes to show that you have to be careful of what you put on social media.
George Mason, 35, aka HungYoungBrit and Nicholas Mullan, 24, from Belfast but known as Toby on an escort site, and a third unknown man filmed themselves in July 2017 having sex on the London Underground.
In February 2018 George Mason put a clip of the film on his twitter feed, which was seen by many. A gay man who saw it, thought that had crossed the line of what was acceptable behaviour and the incident was reported to the police.
I actually saw the full film several weeks ago and was surprised how far they went and how in the open they were. The carriage was originally empty but passengers did get on at various stops along The Northern Line.
And now the verdict of the court case is in.
George Mason and was sentenced to an 18-month community order and fined £1,000 with court costs of £170.
Nicholas Mullan was not fined but told to pay £170 court costs and carry out a 12-month community order.
Both admitted the charge of outraging public decency
Magistrate Lucinda Lubbock was shown stills of the sex acts and said: "This was a very unpleasant and serious offence on the public underground." she added: "This is a lesson to both of you. You have been humiliated in the court of social media."
If you can cope with pop-ups and all the other crap that comes from a porn website, the full video can be seen here:
Extremely HIGH risk sex LIVE on busy London Underground

The Daily Mirror Website – Left wing biased tabloid bullshit
The Daily Mail Website – Right wing biased bullshit, it takes itself seriously while reporting on sensationalist, sometimes absurd stories.
The Sun – Tabloid, right wing leaning, reports garbage and sensationalises stories likes it's second nature
George Mason was also part of a BBC Three programme called "Queer Britian". Episode five is called "Porn Idols" where they head into the world of queer porn and meet the producers and performers bringing different sexuality and identities to the screen. George Mason is part of the segment on "Chav Porn". You can also check out the article "In defence of 'chav porn'".

The wind continues, but we are not giving in! We bashed our way through the Sound of Sleat yesterday navigating the strange tidal currents upwelling from the depths below us. Mast duty was more like an hour in a washing machine! Wet and windswept, we were all smiles in the evening when we went to have a warming drink on the Island of Muck.
We had a harbour porpoise sighting yesterday and plenty of acoustic detections. We are heading close to the "minke triangle" today, so hopes are high for some more sightings through the waves. After the excitement of the orcas earlier in the week, it is a testament to our strong teamwork that we have kept focused when collecting these vital data.


If you're a fan of the ultra bro-ey site Barstool Sports, then you're pretty familiar with their pizza reviews with brash host Davey Pageviews where the rule is "one bite." Fresh off of the heartbreaking loss to the Saints, Davey and his frat boy website Barstool Sports headed to Lorenzo's & Sons on South Street.
Known for being swarmed on weekends and their "no-toppings" rule, Lorenzo's was put to the test by Davey's one-bite challenge. However, he didn't hesitate to gauge the fresh wounds of our recent loss including mocking Alshon's dropped pass. Overall he gave Lorenzo's a 6.5 and said it wasn't too bad. Let us know what you think of the review in our comment section.

Here at PiP we aren't exactly morning people. In fact, if we have to get up before 8 am, we're outright offended at the demands of normal human functioning. Brush our teeth? Wash our faces? Take a shower? We're practically put-off by the universe's expectations; but sometimes, we're also humbled by the blessing we have to be offended. Sometimes it's easy to take the small things–like having to brush your teeth early in the morning–for granted. If you don't believe us, ask someone with ALS how appreciative they would be if they were given the opportunity to control their own body and care for themselves.
ALS, known commonly as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a neurodegenerative disease where motor neurons are killed in the brain—leading to a loss of muscle movement. When you can't brush your teeth, you would love to do it at any time in the morning. So here at PiP, we're grateful that we have the ability to do the small things; and we're also grateful for the big things that are done by ALS of Nevada. Knowing that there are others who don't share our privilege, ALS of Nevada has become committed to giving those afflicted with and affected by ALS as full and normal a life as possible.
There are many actions individuals with ALS can no longer preform. Actions we get to enjoy and take for granted. There are also actions we can take in their place. Act today for ALS of Nevada by helping to provide support and services through a donation. With Nevada's Big Give only 2 days away, there's an easy way to make a difference and act for those who can't! Visit their website or their donation page.

Part 1 of this interview explored how one of our current Development interns ended up taking a year-long experiential course on the Medicine Wheel, and the profound impact these practices have had on her life. After the course, she went on a nine month trip to India and across Asia, calling upon the teachings for strength and guidance.
In a three-day retreat once every three months, she discovered the significance of each of the four cardinal directions within these teachings, the power of the animal spirits, and explored a connection to the sacred lineage of healers who embodied this ancient wisdom.
What follows are her reflections on the teachings of each direction, including her special connection to the bravest, most courageous animal spirit of all.
The Medicine Wheel uses the cardinal directions as representations of different teachings. Could you describe more about that?
So we have the directions of South, West, North and East. The direction of the South, the direction of the sacred Serpent, was our first focus. One of the main teachings is to learn to shed your attachment to your past the way the Serpent sheds her skin. You learn to let go of what no longer serves you.
We also learn to stop repeating the lessons and start learning the lessons. We learn to transform our deepest wounds into sources of power and compassion, forming non-judgment, non-attachment, non-suffering, and walking in the beauty of truth.
In the West, that is the Jaguar. This is about breaking free from the grip of fear and taking a journey beyond death to bring closure to what has been. It's about fearlessness, non-doing, non-engagement.
One of the things we'd do when working with a sacred energy spirit, an animal spirit like Jaguar, is play with how it felt to be Jaguar. We would close our eyes and feel what that would feel like to be in a tree, to be at the top of the food chain, to be carefree.
But at the same time you feel what it's like to be so focused on everything that's going on around you, to be so present. Every little creak of the trees, every little bird, you can hear everything, feel at one with everything, and be free of fear.
What were the teachings of the North?
The North is where we learned to journey outside of time and space, where everything is possible. This is where we learn to drop our limiting roles and beliefs and where we really delve in and see what secrets we keep from even ourselves.
I think that the North direction was very challenging for a lot of people in the group, including myself. These classes took place every three months so in between the first and second, the second and third, the third and fourth, there's a time in between where you get to see how this energy plays out in your day-to-day life.
With this one, you're dropping limiting roles and beliefs, you're basically dealing with Ego. And the North, from what I understand is the Hummingbird, which I really connect with. It is one of my spirit animals.
Every time we open sacred space we do an invocation with our rattles and ask different spirit animals, different guides, different sacred mountains to be there with us at that time. I always call on the Hummingbird because the Hummingbird for me is absolute bravery. To travel so far every year, vast distances on just nectar, in this huge, crazy world, it takes a lot of courage to do that!
And lastly, the East?
In the East direction, the Eagle and Condor, we focused a lot on breath work and on holotropic breathing. We utilized certain types of music and breathing to allow ourselves to work through dense energies at a different level of awareness.
The medicine wheel of the East direction is about releasing your limiting core beliefs and projections, becoming visionary and learning how to work with energy and intention to create your reality and dream your world into being.
So what's really amazing about that is we had the ability to do this final ritual before the final rites in the direction of the East. We would send a form of energy to our mesa and burn through every unneeded aspect in our lives. It was said at the time that this would cause a huge shift for anyone, and to do this only if you really want a big shift.
And I think I was the only one in the group that wanted to do this big shift. But I knew I was about to graduate and I knew that things were about to change in the next year. Then all the things in India happened later and I've been thinking, "Is this what that was about?" Getting rid of all of your attachments—I had two pairs of pants and was living out of a backpack for nine months—it doesn't get much simpler than that.
I think dreaming your world into being is one of the greatest gifts that the shamans of this tradition and other traditions can give because when we limit our dreams we limit our possibilities. And allowing ourselves to dream in an infinite number of ways is I think the best way to create a more sustainable, whole life for ourselves and for the entire world.

This will be a small class, no more than 8 students.
I have found that this brings the greatest value for the students and I can get really granular in detail and answering specific questions. Also, ensuring everyone twice "gets up" for performance review.
The fee includes the chance to MC half an open mic night so that students have a chance to apply what has been learned and have some laughs.
The final such session until Winter.
"Early Bird" Price of £80 is available until 11pm Monday 20th May and then the price rises to £100 "Late Booker".
Alfie Noakes is the creator and promoter of the We Are Funny Project and has MCed well over 1000 gigs, often with up to 18 acts on the bill, fast-fire and swift turnaround shows.
Private tuition is available, email alfie@wearefunnyproject.com for more info.
So what did I do yesterday? Well I basically got a brain dump about how to host an open mic night from Alfie. It was fun, informative (I mean really feckin informative, I have pages of notes and tips that will improve my stand-up, presenting at work and most importantly how to leave a mic stand) and so enlightening. I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to MC any night be it comedy or corporate.
Brilliant day of comedy learning with the brilliant Alfie.
Thanks for a great day! Info-packed, loads of notes, lots to take away & think about before coming back to put it into practice! Really looking forward to it!
I have attended several workshops and this was maybe the best. Well structured, with loads of useful information and tips you can apply straight away, from room management to audience interaction, and time for performance and individual feedback. Alfie is honest and will let you know what you are doing well and what you are doing wrong, no bulls**t! Highly recommended if you are interested in becoming an MC.
What a lovely afternoon, informative and fun. If only school was such fun... Thank you to our brilliant teacher, Alfie, and fab classmates.

In Bad Moms 2, the writing team added a layer of complexity but introducing three grandmothers to cause trouble for the film's three leading ladies. Those behind Daddy's Home 2 came up with the same idea when working on a screenplay for the popular original (released back in 2015).
For those needing a refresher course, Daddy's Home starred Will Ferrell as an insecure stepfather trying to win the affections of his two stepchildren. He was making progress until their real father, played by Mark Wahlberg, arrived back on the scene. After a silly battle to see who could get the upper hand, the film ended with both extending the olive branch and agreeing to be "co-dads".
Given that things ended so acrimoniously at the end of the last movie, Daddy's Home 2 needs to find a new way to make conflict. This is achieved by going one back one generation and bringing the two granddads into the equation. John Lithgow plays the father of Will Ferrell whilst Mel Gibson does the same for Mark Wahlberg. They have similar personalities to their children which becomes a recipe for trouble.
It's Gibson's character that starts the chaos. He's an aggressive, macho guy who is disgusted that his son is allowing his kids to be raised by another man. Most wouldn't have a major problem with this. They'd appreciate that not all relationships go the distance and when parents re-marry, custody of children often needs to be shared around. Unfortunately, he doesn't share this view and he's doing whatever he can to cause tension between the two fathers.
The other similarity with Bad Moms 2 is its pitch to be a Christmas movie. That film was set in the days leading up to Christmas and dissected all the stressful planning that goes into the lead up. For Daddy's Home 2, the arguments are around which households will get the honour of hosting Christmas lunch and dinner. It's Gibson who forces his own compromise on them all – he's rented a luxurious house for everyone so that festivities can take place at a neutral venue.
It's one of my all-time favourite movies and I was stunned to read last month that Mark Wahlberg asked God to forgive him for starring Boogie Nights (released in 1997). He later clarified by saying that he didn't regret the role but he's not sure if he'd make the same choice today as a 46-year-old man who is married with 4 kids. It doesn't fit too well with his religious beliefs and his ability to serve as a role model for his family.
That statement gets to the heart of why Wahlberg is appearing in movies like Daddy's Home 2. It's a lightweight, family-friendly comedy that promotes familiar, wholesome values. It's not rude and crude like Bad Moms 2 – the most obvious point of difference between the two. Whether you like this or not will ultimately come down to your own sense of humour. For the record, I lean more towards the edgier comedy offered up in the Bad Moms franchise.
This film will have its fans and will find its audience but it didn't offer enough laughs for me.

Snorting Ativan: Side Effects, Risks, And Dangers
When an individual snorts Ativan, they risk developing serious health problems, such as addiction and overdose. Snorting Ativan is a sign of a substance use disorder.
Home > Ativan > Insufflation
Side Effects Withdrawal Ativan Addiction Treatment
Ativan is a common brand name for the drug, lorazepam. Lorazepam belongs to a class of prescription medications called benzodiazepines. Other common benzos include Xanax and Valium. Ativan is normally prescribed to treat panic attacks and anxiety disorders in the United States.
Ativan acts directly on the central nervous system as a depressant to produce tranquilizing and calming effects. When taken as prescribed, the risks of adverse side effects, physical dependency, and addiction remain low.
When Ativan is snorted (insufflated) or taken in high doses, it is dangerous and addictive. Snorting Ativan may cause physical side effects, psychological side effects, and damage to the brain and body.
Side Effects Of Snorting Ativan
Ativan slows the central nervous system and causes sedation. These effects are helpful for individuals suffering from anxiety or panic disorder. Due to the drug's addictive qualities and euphoric effects, Ativan is also sought out to abuse.
Addicted individuals who inhale the substance nasally do it because they believe the drug will quickly enter the bloodstream. However, this method of Ativan abuse places them at risk for damage to the nasal passages, brain, and body.
Snorting Ativan is dangerous for several reasons. It's easy to lose track of the dosage, and this method of abuse increases risks of addiction, withdrawal symptoms, and death. Unfortunately, Ativan abuse has other short-term and long-term side effects, as well.
Short-Term Side Effects
Short-term side effects of Ativan abuse may develop faster when an individual snorts Ativan. Ativan has tranquilizing and sedative properties. Benzodiazepines are often used with other medications and drugs with abuse potential.
Toxic effects caused by Ativan abuse are enhanced when ingested with alcohol, opioids, or other prescription medications. These side effects may be felt significantly faster when an individual snorts Ativan.
Side effects may include:
Side effects and addiction to Ativan may develop quickly when snorting the drug and when using higher doses, even after short-term use.
Long-Term Side Effects
People who abuse Ativan may use high or heavy doses of the drug over long periods of time. These individuals are considered to be at high risk for developing Ativan addiction and experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Find the right treatment program for Ativan abuse today.
Long-term side effects associated with Ativan abuse include:
damage to nasal passages and sinuses
physical dependency
In addition to short-term and long-term side effects, Ativan causes lasting changes to the brain. When the drug is abused, areas of the brain that control stress, anxiety, and irritability are destabilized. Over time, the addicted individual becomes increasingly reliant on the calming and sedating effects of the drug to regulate stress.
When an addicted individual attempts to stop taking the drug, chemical changes that occurred within the brain and body become apparent. Addicted individuals seek out the drug due to intense cravings, and to avoid uncomfortable physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms.
Ativan Addiction And Withdrawal
Addiction to Ativan can develop quickly and may cause severe side effects when stopping the medication. These side effects may occur after an individual has become physically dependent on high doses and chronic use of the drug. While dependency is one component of addiction, not all people who have an Ativan dependency will become addicted to it.
Important signs of Ativan addiction include:
change in personality
neglect of personal responsibilities
Ativan withdrawal symptoms occur when an addicted individual stops taking the drug. Characteristic symptoms of Ativan withdrawal such as anxiety, insomnia, and seizures may occur after high doses of Ativan are abruptly discontinued.
Symptoms of Ativan withdrawal range from mild to severe, and include:
intense drug cravings
Ativan withdrawal symptoms may be severe and life-threatening. Because of this, it is highly recommended that anyone with a physical dependence on Ativan consult with a medical professional before stopping the medication.
Getting Help For Ativan Addiction
Benzodiazepines are rarely the sole drug of abuse. It is estimated that 80 percent of benzodiazepine abuse includes other drugs, commonly opioids and alcohol.
When an individual becomes chemically dependent on Ativan, benzodiazepine withdrawal may be severe, and snorting Ativan can quickly lead to addiction or dependency. Without medical assistance, an addicted individual may struggle with an overreliance on Ativan, loss of self-confidence, and drug-seeking behavior for many years.
It is important that an individual addicted to Ativan has access to supportive services as they detox from the medication. Several treatment options and addiction treatment programs are available. Medical advice and treatments for Ativan addiction are based on the needs of the patient and may be performed on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
If you or a loved one have an Ativan addiction, or if you have any questions about the substance abuse programs, please connect with our treatment center through our helpline today.

Maryland's Only Ski Resort Now Plans to Reopen with Snow Approaching
Photo via Wisp Resort/Mountain Cam
While the forecast of heavy snow for Maryland from early tonight through tomorrow afternoon threatens closures for school districts and public offices around the state, it could mean a resurrection for Wisp Resort in Garrett County.
Two weeks ago, Wisp called off the rest of the skiing season, citing "historic, unseasonably warm rainy weather" and correspondingly poor conditions for snowmaking on its slopes in McHenry, Md. This morning, resort management said they plan to reverse that decision in light of the pending snowfall.
"The weather was pretty uncooperative this winter," said mountain operations director Artie Speicher in a statement posted on the resort's website. "Mother Nature was testing our resolve, just like she is now. She's given us another window this week, so we're going to make the most of it."
Which day the resort will reopen depends on the amount of natural snowfall from the storm system and how much powder Wisp's snow machines can produce. A resort spokeswoman said in an email that it will be "probably towards the latter part of the week," though a date hasn't been set.
This past winter was historically dry for Wisp. The resort's slopes were open for only 72 days leading up to the closure, the fewest of any skiing season in the last decade. Despite all of its efforts — management said they had more than 160 million gallons of water pumped up the mountain for snowmaking, the third most of any season since 2007 — the resort decided Mother Nature had made up her mind.
A resort spokeswoman told Baltimore Fishbowl two weeks ago that the announcement marked the first time Wisp had closed in February during her general manager's 40 years working there.
Wisp, Maryland's only dedicated ski resort, is located near Deep Creek Lake, about three hours west of Baltimore and two hours south-southeast of Pittsburgh, near Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County. In addition to dozens of skiing and snowboarding runs, the resort also operates areas for family-friendly outdoor activities like archery, ropes courses, mountain biking, geo mining and more in its Mountain Park section. Upon deciding to close early in late February, Wisp didn't offer refunds or credits to any season-pass holders, but continued allowing them access to areas of Mountain Park.
The resort said in its announcement this morning that five inches of snow already fell at nearby Deep Creek Lake on Friday. Today, Wisp's mountain cams show the mountain is already covered with snow. With more on the way, Maryland's skiers should get some much-desired time on the slopes by next weekend.
This story has been updated with comment from a Wisp spokesperson.

AMERICUS, Ga. — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was admitted to a south Georgia hospital over the weekend for treatment of a urinary tract infection, a spokeswoman said Monday.
Deanna Congileo, a spokeswoman for The Carter Center, said in a statement that the 95-year-old former president was admitted to Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus over the weekend.
"He is feeling better and looks forward to returning home soon. We will issue a statement when he is released for further rest and recovery at home," she added.
Carter has overcome several health challenges in recent years.
He was diagnosed with melanoma in 2015, announcing that the cancer had spread to other parts of his body. After partial removal of his liver, treatment for brain lesions, radiation and immunotherapy, he said he was cancer-free.
Last Wednesday, Carter was released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after recovering from surgery to relieve pressure on his brain caused by bleeding from a fall.
