Announcements : Introducing the TOTJF Council and Advidory Panel
Posted by Kyp_Durron on 2014/5/14 13:50:00 (1175 reads)
To the Temple of the Jedi Force, Greetings.
As time marches on, things continue to grow and change... that is the one true constant, that all things will evolve, progress, and change. We always hope these changes are for the better. Our membership has decided to once again appoint a Council to accept the duties and responsibilities of governing and guiding our Temple. With reinstatement of the Council, some things in our Doctrines, Guidelines, and Policies will need to be revised and updated, and some things will need to be reorganized. Rest assured that we are working on things as quickly and efficiently as we are able. The Council is here to address any questions or concerns that may arise, and we will work together to help guide the Temple into the modern age of Jediism.

Announcements : Creationist Beliefs Linked To Personality Type In New Survey Of Churchgoers
Posted by Merin_Kyo_Den on 2014/1/6 8:42:59 (2026 reads)
A belief in the literal Biblical version of creation may boil down, in part, to personality.
A new study suggests that people who believe in creationism are more likely to prefer to take in information via their senses versus via intuition. In contrast, religious believers who see the Bible's creation story as symbolic tend to be more intuitive. "Intuitives tend to be much more at home with symbolic things, generally," said Andrew Village, the head of the theology and religious studies program at York St. John University in the United Kingdom.

Announcements : Bridging the Gap Between Arabs and Jews, in Ontario Lake Country
Posted by Merin_Kyo_Den on 2013/8/10 13:25:25 (1520 reads)
As long-awaited peace talks resumed this week in Washington, young Jewish and Arab Israelis are seeking peaceful co-existence in the great Canadian outdoors.
For three summers now, Camp Shomria brings 14- and 15-year-old Israelis from their tension-filled communities for a two-week vacation of their dreams on the shores of Otty Lake, 100 kilometres southwest of Ottawa. Part of a century-old Jewish pioneering movement called Hashomer Hatzair, the camp has about 150 Jewish Canadian youths, as well as 20 Israeli teens drawn from both Jewish and Muslim cultures to learn what it's like to live together.
The 10 boys share a cabin of bunk beds, as do the 10 girls, right next door. They play together, learn together, visit Parliament Hill and Toronto together.
The girls talk about movies, music, school, but not so much about boys, said Loran Stern, 15. "They [Muslims] have a different culture and I respect that."
The kids all hail from the Wadi Ara region of central Israel, where there are numerous Arab and Jewish communities. Remarkably, most of the young Jewish Israelis had never met and talked with an Arab Israeli before participating in this program. "We only live a few kilometres away from most of their villages," said Aviv Hazan, 14. "But I've never visited one."
None of the Jewish Israeli campers speaks Arabic, so they usually converse in Hebrew, a language the Arab Israelis speak quite well. They interact with other campers in English.
While Arab Israelis comprise about 21 per cent of the country's population of eight million, most live in separate communities from those of Jews. And while these communities have remained largely peaceful and law-abiding, there is a constant tension between the two solitudes. Arab Israelis feel the government treats them as second-class citizens; the majority of Jewish Israelis believe the Arabs should have equal rights, but feel afraid themselves to enter an Arab town or village.
Into this situation has stepped the Heart to Heart program fostered by Hashomer Hatzair, which historically supported a bi-national state in all of Palestine in which Jews and Arabs would have equal rights.
To be invited on the trip, the teens had to write a letter indicating why they support co-existence and why they feel suited to the program. A common theme expressed in the letters was getting to know each other for the sake of peaceful relations – a small step, many said, toward peace between Israel and the Arab world.
"My family encouraged me," said Tawfek Abu-Farwa, 15, who lives in the large and politically volatile town of Umm al-Fahm that sits alongside the Green Line that separates Israel from the Palestinian West Bank. "A lot of people there don't like the idea [of mixing with Jews, either in the camp or in Israel] but there's been no problem" for him personally, he said.
The parents of almost all 11 Arab Israeli kids are professionals – Tawfek's father is a doctor – suggesting that higher education and a prominent role in the community may be behind their enthusiasm for this project. It also helps in paying for the airfare to Canada, the only cost the families must bear.
Almost all the Arab families are religiously conservative – for example, the mothers of 10 of the Arabs wear the hijab. Interestingly, however, none of six Arab girls in the program wears a head scarf. "I'll wear one when I get married," explained Hanan Abu-Abed, 14. The other girls all nodded in agreement.
A week into their living together, the young people had nothing but praise for those from the other Israeli culture. "We're learning to look past our differences," said Bashar Yahia, 14.
A big difference is eating habits during Ramadan, when Muslims fast from sunup to sundown. While Islamic custom says travellers such as these kids need not fast, three of them are sticking to the observance.
"I want the people here to see what fasting is all about," said Hamza Ar'ara, 16, the oldest of the group.
The result has been greater sensitivity, it seems. When 14-year-old Ram Pade, a Jewish Israeli, plunked down on the grass to eat his lunch last Friday, he realized he was sitting opposite Hamza, who was fasting. Not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable, Ram rose, apologized and was about to move to another spot until Hamza insisted he stay. There was no reason to move or to apologize, he said. Each side were sensitive to the other.
Even in a place trying hard for smooth relations, friction does emerge.
During the Friday-evening ceremony marking the end of the week, the Israeli flag was raised and the campers sang Hatikvah, the country's anthem – all except the Arab Israelis who remained silent. As the flag was being raised, five of the Arabs turned their back to it in quiet protest.
"You have to understand," said Zakaria Mahameed, the Arab Israeli teacher who has accompanied the group: "Yes, these kids are Israeli, but they strongly identify with the Palestinians [of the West Bank], and the anthem is all about the Jews returning to the homes. It's not their anthem."
It was a subtle protest, missed by most other campers and counsellors.
Several of the Jewish Israelis said they understood why their compatriots didn't sing the anthem, but most said they thought it was disrespectful to turn their backs.
"It does seem rude, but I can't judge them," said Gali Cohen, 15. "I always think how hard it must be for them."
Bridging the culture gap among a handful of young Israelis may have a ripple effect on family and friends back in Israel, but it's hard to see the program having national impact. It's also unlikely that members of this group will see much of each other back home. Contact is more likely to be via Facebook than in person, though members of the group that visited Camp Shomria last year have met a couple of times at different people's homes
"It's hard to imagine walking into Umm al-Fahm to get together with Tawfek," explained Ram, mindful of how unpopular Jewish Israelis are in that town.
"It's all been so great, it'll be sad to see it go," said Gali, wistfully. "But I know it's natural, we'll all spend our time with our own crowd."
"At least when I walk past an Arab on the street, I won't turn away," said Aviv. "I'll look at him and smile."
Bashar was smiling as he sat on the dock watching some of his compatriots in canoes practising their newly acquired paddling skills. A pair of loons in the middle of the lake sounded the alarm as the canoes approached, ducked and swam away.
"I just love it," said Bashar; "it's so peaceful here."

Анри-Шарль де Бомануар (; 15 марта 1644, Ле-Ман — 29 августа 1701, Париж), маркиз де Лаварден — французский военный и дипломат.

Биография

Сын Анри II де Бомануара, маркиза де Лавардена и Маргерит-Рене де Ростен.

Участвовал в битве при Сент-Готарде (1664), в ходе Деволюционной войны во взятии Куртре (1667), завоевании Франш-Конте Людовиком XIV (1668), Голландской войне (1672) и во многих делах в последующие годы.

В 1670 году был назначен генеральным наместником Верхней и Нижней Бретани. В этом качестве руководил Бретонским адмиралтейством, отстаивая его независимость от адмирала Франции, а также принимал участие в подавлении восстания гербовой бумаги.

В 1687—1688 годах был чрезвычайным послом в Риме, вместо герцога д'Эстре. Его посольство пришлось на период очередного конфликта между Францией и Римом. Папа Иннокентий XI ради восстановления порядка в городе отменил привилегии посольского квартала, с чем согласились все монархи, кроме Людовика XIV. Иннокентий просил короля не назначать нового посла, пока конфликт не будет разрешен, но Людовик с просьбой не посчитался, и в инструкции Лавардену утверждалось, что король Франции старший сын католической церкви и защитник Святого Престола, и что, в отличие от императора и короля Испании, он не зависит от Рима.

Маркиз прибыл в Рим с вооруженным отрядом из восьмисот человек, при вступлении в город разбрасывал серебряные монеты и занял дворец Фарнезе, который окружил сильной охраной. В ответ папа отказал ему в аудиенции, запретил своим министрам вести переговоры с французом и буллой от 12 мая 1687 отлучил Лавардена от церкви. При появлении французского посла любое богослужение в Риме немедленно прекращалось.

Король наградил маркиза двумя тысячами экю, а 31 декабря 1688 пожаловал в рыцари орденов короля.

Герцог де Сен-Симон дает Лавардену следующую характеристику:

Месье де Лаварден, генеральный наместник в Бретани, кавалер Ордена Святого Духа, стяжавший известность своим странным посольством в Риме, во время коего он был отлучен Папой Иннокентием XI от Церкви, так и не сумев добиться у него аудиенции, скончался в возрасте пятидесяти пяти лет. Это был толстый, на редкость уродливый человек, обладавший изрядным умом и немалой ученостью, но не отличавшийся слишком высокими нравственными достоинствами. От первого брака с сестрой герцога де Шеврёза у него была только одна дочь, мадам де Ла Шатр. Вторая жена, сестра герцога и кардинала де Ноаев, которую он тоже пережил, оставила ему дочь и сына. Умирая, он запретил, под страхом проклятия, своему еще юному сыну жениться на девице из рода Ноай, о чем уведомил также и своего шурина, кардинала де Ноая. Далее мы увидим, что воля его не была исполнена, но что проклятие незамедлительно возымело свое действие. Говорили, что он был скуп, неуживчив и страдал наследственной болезнью всех Ростенов, к роду которых принадлежала его мать. Сам он уверял, что ни одна трапеза никогда полностью не утоляла его голод и что, выйдя из-за стола, он всегда готов был вновь приняться за еду. Однако его подагра, камни в почках и ранняя смерть вряд ли вызовут у кого-либо желание следовать подобному режиму.

Семья

1-я жена (3.02.1667): Франсуаза-Поль-Шарлотта д'Альбер (ум. при родах в 1670), дочь Луи-Шарля д'Альбера, герцога де Люина, и Луизы-Мари Сегье, маркизы д'О

 N (1670—?), демуазель де Маликорн, монахиня-бенедиктинка в Париже на улице дю Шерш-Миди

2-я жена (10.01.1680): Луиза-Анн де Ноай (29.11.1662—12.1693), дочь герцога Анна де Ноая и Луизы Буйе

Дети:

Muscarinic receptor-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis at resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in PC12 cells
L. M. Vicentini, A. Ambrosini, F. Di Virgilio, T. Pozzan, J. Meldolesi
In PC12 cells, cultured in the presence of nerve growth factor to increase their complement of muscarinic receptors, treatment with carbachol induces muscarinic receptor-dependent rises in free cytosolic Ca2+ as well as hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositides. Experiments were carried out to clarify the relationship between these two receptor-triggered events. In particular, since inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (the hydrophilic metabolite produced by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate) is believed to mediate intracellularly the release of Ca2+ from nonmitochondrial store(s), it was important to establish whether it can be generated at resting cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ (~ 0.1 μM). Cells incubated in Ca2+-free medium were depleted of their cytoplasmic Ca2+ stores by pretreatment with ionomycin. When these cells were then treated with carbachol, their cytosolic concentration of Ca2+ remained at the resting level, whereas inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate generation was still markedly stimulated. Our results demonstrate that an increase in the concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ is not a necessary intermediate between receptor activation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis, and therefore support the second-messenger role of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate.

Żeby Polska była Polską (ang. Let Poland be Poland) – program telewizyjny wyreżyserowany przez Marty'ego Pasettę, zrealizowany przez United States International Communications Agency we współpracy z Departamentem Obrony USA. Wyemitowano go 31 stycznia 1982 roku.

Historia

Odpowiedzią władz USA na stan wojenny wprowadzony w Polsce 13 grudnia 1981 r. były sankcje gospodarcze, nałożone najpierw na PRL, a później również na ZSRR.

Równocześnie prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Ronald Reagan starał się pokazać, że jego kraj, potępiając działania reżimu komunistycznego w PRL, solidaryzuje się z milionami Polaków, których nadzieje na wolność zostały stłumione. W bożonarodzeniowym orędziu telewizyjnym z 23 grudnia 1981 r. Reagan zachęcał swych rodaków, by w wigilijny wieczór zapalili w oknach domów świeczki w geście solidarności z polskim narodem.

Podobną wymowę miał Dzień Solidarności z Polską (ang. International "Solidarity Day"), wyznaczony przez amerykańską administrację na 30 stycznia 1982 r. W wielu zachodnich miastach odbyły się wówczas demonstracje poparcia dla zawieszonego NSZZ "Solidarność". Dopełnieniem Dnia Solidarności z Polską była audycja "Let Poland be Poland" z 31 stycznia 1982 r., której tytuł nawiązuje do piosenki Jana Pietrzaka "Żeby Polska była Polską".

Program poprowadził aktor Charlton Heston. Do udziału w audycji zdołano też pozyskać tak znanych artystów, jak Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Glenda Jackson, Max von Sydow, Orson Welles czy Frank Sinatra. Ten ostatni zaśpiewał piosenkę "Ever Homeward", w tym fragment w języku polskim.

W programie wzięli ponadto udział m.in.: Romuald Spasowski, Zdzisław Rurarz, Adam Makowicz, Czesław Miłosz, Mstisław Rostropowicz i James Michener.

Dodatkowo w audycji wystąpiło wielu zachodnich polityków. Byli to m.in.: prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Ronald Reagan, premier Zjednoczonego Królestwa Margaret Thatcher, premier Portugalii Francisco Pinto Balsemão, kanclerz Republiki Federalnej Niemiec Helmut Schmidt, premier Islandii Gunnar Thoroddsen, premier Belgii Wilfried Martens, premier Japonii Zenkō Suzuki, premier Włoch Arnaldo Forlani, premier Norwegii Kåre Willoch, premier Kanady Pierre Trudeau, premier Turcji Bülent Ulusu, premier Luksemburga Pierre Werner, premier Hiszpanii Adolfo Suárez González, prezydent Francji François Mitterrand, spiker Izby Reprezentantów Tip O'Neill, lider większości Senatu Howard Baker, senator, członek komisji spraw zagranicznych Senatu Clement J. Zablocki.

Politycy wygłosili oświadczenia, które skupiły się na krytyce władz PRL i Związku Radzieckiego, wyrazach poparcia dla narodu polskiego, solidarności z represjonowanymi oraz zapewnieniami o pomocy, także materialnej. Retransmitowano także demonstracje poparcia dla Polaków z różnych miast świata: Nowego Jorku, Londynu, Brukseli, Tokio, Lizbony, Sydney, Waszyngtonu, Toronto, Chicago.

Audycję obejrzało ok. 185 milionów widzów w kilkudziesięciu krajach świata. Wersję audio Głos Ameryki przygotował w 39 wersjach językowych. Audycję emitowały także Radio Wolna Europa, Radio Liberty oraz Radio France Internationale.

Prasa PRL starała się ośmieszyć i zdezawuować audycję. W Polsce program ten po raz pierwszy wyemitowała TVP Historia 13 grudnia 2011 r.

Q: Solr sort in correct alphabetical order I have an issue - its needed to sort SOLR results in correct alphabetical order if there are both upper and lowercase values in response.
Now, using
<field name="somefield"  type="text_general"  indexed="true"  stored="true"/>

<fieldType name="text_general" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">
  <analyzer type="index">
    <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
    <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" />
    <!-- in this example, we will only use synonyms at query time
    <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="index_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/>
    -->
    <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
  </analyzer>
  <analyzer type="query">
    <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
    <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" />
    <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
    <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
  </analyzer>
</fieldType>

I can easily get smth like this
aaa
AAA
BBB
bbb
BBB
DDD
ddd

like there is no priority between upper and lowercase letters.
But its needed to get like this:
aaa
AAA
bbb
BBB
BBB
ddd
DDD

How to do such sorting correctly?

A: In 99% of the cases, you don't want to sort on the tokenized field. Because when you end up with 5 tokens, which of them are you sorting by?
However, if you want to lowercase, it could be a tokenized field, just with KeywordTokenizer and LowercaseFilter. That way you always get one token and it is lower case. Use copyField from the original field if you still want to search the original field with synonyms, etc. Don't have to store the copy, sorting uses indexed representation only.
Also, docValues are good for sorting.

Herb McKenley (Pleasant Valley, Jamaica 1922 - Kingston 2007) fou un atleta jamaicà, especialista en curses de velocitat i mitjana distància.

Biografia
Va néixer el 10 de juliol de 1922 a la ciutat de Pleasant Valley, situada a l'illa de Jamaica.

Va morir el 26 de novembre de 2007 a la seva residència de Kingston, capital del país, a conseqüència d'una pneumònia.

Carrera esportiva
Va participar, als 26 anys, en els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1948 realitzats a Londres (Regne Unit), on va aconseguir guanyar la medalla de plata en la prova dels 400 metres just pel darrere del seu compatriota Arthur Wint. Així mateix participà en els 200 metres llisos, on finalitzà quart, i en els relleus 4x400 metres l'equip jamaicà no aconseguí finalitar la final al lesionar-se Wint enmig de la competició. En els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1952 realitzats a Hèlsinki (Finlàndia) aconseguí guanyar tres medalles: la medalla de plata en els 100 metres i en els 400 metres així com la medalla d'or en la prova dels relleus 4x400 metres, on l'equip jamaicà establí un nou rècord del món amb un temps de 3:03.9 segons.

Al llarg de la seva carrera aconseguí guanyar tres medalles de bronze en els Jocs Panamericans i dues medalles d'or en els Jocs Centreamericans i del Carib.

Entre 1954 i 1973 fou president de la Federació Jamaicana d'atletisme. L'any 2004 fou guardonat amb l'Orde del Mèrit del seu país.

On March 8, we proudly join people across the globe in celebrating International Women's Day, a day that for over 100 years has been set aside to celebrate women's achievements while campaigning for gender equality. We hope you'll join us on this Day Without a Woman, where women and their allies are encouraged to support small, women- and minority-owned businesses. From 12-8pm, we'll pour a flight of wine made by women winemakers and invest $5 from every flight (as well as $1 from every glass and $5 from every carafe on our full menu) in fellow female entrepreneurs.
In 2016, two significant things happened that brought our identity as women to the forefront of our daily lives: 1) becoming business owners, and 2) the Presidential election and resulting political climate.
We've been fortunate enough to be surrounded by fellow feminists who never told us we couldn't or shouldn't open Wine Down because we are minority women. So, when we decided to leave our desk jobs to become bar owners, it wasn't necessarily a consideration for us.
Once we set out on the journey, though, it was striking how few women owners there were in the industry and how few bars were built with women in mind. Most of the people we spoke with were white men. Some were amazingly helpful, others gave us the "good luck, girls" laugh. The women we connected with really went above and beyond (full shoutouts below). We were floored by their graciousness, honesty, and willingness to share. They all took us seriously, believed in us, and encouraged us, even when Wine Down was nothing but an idea in our heads.
Since opening, we've been startled by the surprise and comments we receive from some (male) guests when they learn that we—Jaime and Sarah—two young women, are the owners of Wine Down. Not the male team members they see standing next to us. Yep, that's right. Us. Just the two of us.
The theme of International Women's Day is #BeBoldforChange. The idea is that each of us can be a leader within our own sphere by taking action to accelerate gender parity. We hope to set an example for women who are itching to try something new or start something of their own, like the amazing women we spoke with did for us. You can do this. We can do this together.
We've also decided to partner, at least once a month, with a different organization focused on empowering women, girls, and the LGBT communities. To date, we've partnered with and raised money for Planned Parenthood, the Women's March Bay Area, Oasis for Girls, and the Girl Scouts of Northern California. This Wednesday, March 8, from 12-8pm, we're raising money to help Kiva crowdfund $3m in loans to women starting or growing a business. We hope to see you at Wine Down this Wednesday to #InvestInHer!

I would like to use the features of Studio (movable buttons, individualized interactive activities) but my district only has Online. Is this change in the near future? I think this would require an "interface for editing macros" feature that hasn't been added, despite feedback on prior message boards requesting this exact feature.
There will be a product announcement coming next month that will answer all of your questions. I cannot give you more information than that at this time.


Novartis announces a five-year commitment to the fight against malaria in conjunction with the 7th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria Conference and the Malaria Summit of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.
Further, the company releases new African research on progress and remaining challenges toward the 2030 malaria elimination targets, together with Elimination 8 and the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust program.
Over the next five years, as part of its commitment, Novartis will invest more than USD 100 million to advance research and development of next-generation treatments to combat emerging resistance to artemisinin and other currently used antimalarials.
The company will also implement an equitable pricing strategy to maximize patient access in malaria-endemic countries when these new treatments become available. In order to contribute to the WHO's target of reducing malaria-related child mortality by at least 90% by 2030, Novartis will further help expand access to pediatric antimalarials and implement healthcare system strengthening programs in 4 sub-Saharan countries.
The R&D investment is meant to advance the Novartis malaria pipeline through 2023 and to complete a comprehensive global clinical trial program for our novel antimalarial drug candidates KAF156 and KAE609 (currently in Phase IIb and Phase IIa respectively).
Both are from new classes of medicines that were selected for their ability to treat malaria in different ways from current therapies. The investment also includes new uses of technology to identify areas where the malaria burden is greatest. This information could then be used to support capability- and capacity-building to establish future clinical trial sites, so the medicines can be evaluated in the populations where they are most needed.
Despite the tremendous progress made in combating malaria, one child still dies from the disease every two minutes. Novartis aims to contribute to the WHO's target of reducing malaria-related child mortality by at least 90% in 2030. In Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and at least 2 more countries in sub-Saharan Africa that bear the highest number of malaria-related child deaths, we plan to work with partners to help expand access to our pediatric artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) and drive integrated community case management (iCCM) initiatives. iCCM is recognized as a key strategy for increasing access to essential treatments and reducing child mortality from treatable conditions, such as malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea.

Young Terry Crews has a Big Dream Plan: He wants to become a MULTIHYPHENATE. That means he wants to be an artist. And a football player. And a musician. And maybe a NASA scientist, too! OK, maybe it's ambitious, but his parents worked hard so he could go to a new school--Rock City Academy, a prestigious institution (read: rich kids go there) where he's sure he can make his mark at the talent show. He plans an elaborate performance with his new friends, Rani, a passionate engineer, and Xander, a shy kid with a head like an encyclopedia. Along the way, Terry's plan is threatened by his grades, which slip below Mom-and-Dad-approved levels, as well as the schemes of the school's football star, Rick, who won't stop until Terry quits the talent show altogether. No matter what challenges he faces, though, Terry knows that he always has his crew to back him up.

But still, normal for her. Then, things happen—a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage. She finds out her father is actually billionaire tech genius Peter Francis, the same guy she's idolized all her life. She learns all this when she meets dark, mysterious, and electrifying Kashton Colello. He's an associate of her father's, and he gives Bailey two choices—go with him and meet her father or survive on her own because those kidnappers are going to try again. It's a no-brainer.

Long after the Battle of Britain, the aircrews of RAF Bomber Command risked their lives night after night during the Second World War. Over 55,000 of the airmen never returned from these missions; a further 10,000 became prisoners of war. And yet Bomber Command has been mired in controversy and its veterans - all volunteers - have never been awarded a campaign medal. Their crucial contribution to the outcome of the war has all too often been overlooked. BOMBER CREW exposes the bravery of these men using gripping first-person testimony from the surviving pilots and crew. For them this was a time of incredible hardship and adrenaline, courage and friendship, and their stories bear witness to the strength of the human spirit in times of incredible danger. Never before has their story been so vividly told. This is also a revealing look at the history of Bomber Command itself, from the early days through to eventual victory in 1945. From the terrifying action of the bombing raids to the intimate personal accounts of heroism, tragedy and triumph, this is the ultimate account of these brave men and their contribution to the Allied victory.
Large Scale Crew Scheduling
Author : Silke Jütte
During the last decades, freight transportation experienced a worldwide boom. At the same time, competition increased considerably, such that efficient cost structures are indispensable for any market player. One of the main challenges a transportation company faces is the efficient employment of its personnel in operations, commonly referred to as crew scheduling. In this book the author presents solution approaches to large-scale crew scheduling. Firstly, the implementation of state-of-the-art operations research methods for a setting at a major European freight railway carrier is presented. Secondly, the author discusses acceleration techniques that make the developed algorithms applicable even in short-term contexts. While the analysis is based on European freight railway settings, the gained insights also apply to other (crew) scheduling contexts. Potential readership includes scholars and graduate students who are interested in the fields of crew scheduling and column generation as well as practitioners from transportation companies looking for new planning approaches.

ISIS commanders have been killed after one of the group's suicide bombers blew himself up at a meeting following the terrorists' collapse in Mosul.
It comes as Islamic State lost more ground in their last major stronghold in Iraq with the terror group's numbers depleted and confined to an area of about a square kilometre in the Old City.
Nits grow into lice... kill them.
Well done the suicide bomber demonstrating his skills to his superiors, hoping for promotion.

They are full of hate and denial, they are welcome to their murderous blood cult and their demented allah. They are not fit to mix with civilised society, and the terrorist excusing luvvies and apologists are more despicable and in the long run more dangerous than the actual suicide bombers.

Lawyer receives $1,000 for four minute wait constituting human rights breach
Image: www.accessiblecustomerservicetraining.com
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario recently awarded an Ontario lawyer, Andrew Sprague, $1,000 for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect, as a result of his being stopped from entering the Riocan Empress Walk mall with his service dog. At the time, the dog, Flicka, was wearing a blue vest, which identifies her as a services animal and which carries her certification information. Nevertheless, Sprague was stopped at the entrance to the mall, on the basis that the dog may not be allowed to enter.
Factoring into Sprague's human rights complaint was the fact that he was accompanied by his wife, who was nine months pregnant. They were required to stand in the entrance to the mall while security watched them on the video camera, supposedly "seeking clarification" from a supervisor. During this time, Sprague grew concerned about his wife, who was in physical distress, and ultimately had to go speak with a supervisor himself in order to be permitted to enter the building.
In the end, the couple was allowed to enter the mall on the basis that the dog was, in fact, a service dog, but the circumstances of this short but unpleasant delay cost the mall's owner, Riocan, $1,000 in damages. The security officers' failure to recognize the legitimacy of the service animal and their public embarrassment of the couple who were stopped for this reason and made to wait in view of the other shoppers, constituted a breach of Sprague's protected rights under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Want to have more fishing buddies and get on any boat? Bring three girls that will go fishing in their bikinis and I guarantee you will get on damn near any guy's boat. Just be careful because if it isn't big enough, you might get bumped to make a spot for them!
What Can I Say? Can't see a lot of this hot fishing babe, but I can see that she has a cute little booty! I think it needs a good smack, what do you think?
Who Is Ready For Bikini Weather To Return? I'm up in the Northwest and as I've said before, I'm jealous of the Florida guys because it is bikini weather here for like 3 days out of the year. Makes it hard to find hot girls to go fishing half naked with you.
Hot Girls Like To Fish Too Here is a video that proves that hot girls like to go fishing too. This bikini wearing fishing girl is just out for some time on the water, but I'm pretty sure that we are more interested in her hot bikini than if this fishing gal is catching anything.
Hot Fishing Girl In Just Her Bikini Nice blonde gal in a hot pink bikini out fishing? Yes please! I'll take a hot fishing girl like her out any day!
Nice Fish! Wish We Caught Ones Like That! OK, we would love to kick it with this hot fishing chick in her bikini as well. But seriously, wouldn't you love to go fishing with a hot girl in a bikini like her?

Celebrating Adobe's Black Employee Network
For those of you who are not familiar with Adobe's Black Employee Network (BEN), their mission is to recruit, retain, and advance diversity at Adobe and in the tech industry by providing awareness of diversity issues, facilitating personal and professional growth, and participating in activities that uplift the local community.
With the start of Black History Month in the United States, I connected with BEN's newest site leads to hear about their fondest memories and their main goals this year. We also shine a light on how BEN celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the importance of honoring his legacy.
Haleeq's Story
Haleeq (far left) and other BEN members at Howard University.
As BEN's New York site lead, Haleeq Usman, Sr Computer Scientist, Software Development, is also focused on showing the contributions that black individuals bring to our culture. "Many people focus on black athletes, musicians or actors/actresses. But I want to bring awareness to fields outside of that. For example, the first successful open heart surgery on a human being was performed by an African American during an era of racism and discrimination that prohibited African Americans from being admitted into hospitals, and black doctors were denied employment on hospital staff. I'm passionate about teaching people and BEN provides me the platform to do that" said Haleeq.
Not only that, Haleeq is provided the opportunity to recruit diverse talent to Adobe. On his fondest memory with the network, he remembers the time he and other BEN members went to Howard University to host a tech challenge. "I ended up referring one of the PhD students who participated in our hackathon challenge, which was sponsored by Adobe. He interned with the Adobe Sensei team, and he recently joined as a full-time hire. It just felt really rewarding to be a part of that journey."
With Black History Month just starting, Haleeq and other BEN members are excited to get this year's festivities started. "We're planning on hosting a panel of talented leaders in business, photography, contemporary art, and graphics design. We're also planning on hosting a hackathon in Adobe's Union Square office later this year. We will continue to work diligently to spread the wonderful history, culture, and contributions our diversity brings into Adobe to make it an innovative and wonderful place to work."
Horus's Story
Minutes before the faithful screening!
Having joined Adobe in 2016 as a Computer Scientist on the Creative Cloud Experience team, Horus Alkebu-Lan has been the Seattle BEN site lead since last year. "I was in a similar group in college, and it was really supportive. The last company I worked at didn't have a black employee network, so when I joined Adobe and found out about BEN, I was excited to join. When they asked me to become a site lead last year, it seemed like a great opportunity and I was curious in taking on an active role in growing the network" said Horus.
When asked why it's important for people to be a part of BEN, Horus was candid in his answer. "The biggest part is that, for many of us who are minorities, we lack role models in the STEM field. It's important for us to support each other and become each other's role models. BEN is also helpful in that it allows us to show our culture to all of Adobe. When we have events, we have a diverse turnout of people and that's always exciting."
And luckily having an engaged group at Horus's BEN events has been a consistent theme. Horus's fondest memory with BEN was when he hosted his first event and adverted disaster! "It was just after I became the site lead in Seattle. We hosted a movie screening, but every 30 minutes, the room we were in would flip the lights back on and reset the movie! I kept scrambling to start the movie over again, and after the third time, I ushered everyone to a new room. I remember very vividly that no one left the screening. The whole crowd stayed engaged the entire time, and as a new site lead, it made me feel so welcomed and supported at Adobe."
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., BEN members across the country participated in marches and volunteer opportunities this year. In San Francisco, BEN Bay Area participated in the MLK Jr Day march, and saw participation from Adobe's senior leaders, employees and their families, and other network group members.
"I'm so proud to work for a company that constantly provides their employees with opportunities to make an impact. For MLK Day over 40 Adobe employees and their families came together to join 15+ tech companies to march in celebration of MLK and his legacy of justice and community" said Helina Nadew, Technical University Talent Partner.
And in Washington D.C., BEN members from San Jose, San Francisco, and McLean gathered together for a weekend of activism and community service. BEN members, alongside 100,000 people, flooded Pennsylvania Avenue for the Women's March with the mission to harness the political power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative social change. After the march, members headed to the MLK memorial to reflect on the purpose of the weekend.
"Adobe brought together a group from all over the country, from all different backgrounds, to honor a man whose vision continues to shape the lives of millions today. Having the opportunity to travel to the nation's capital, stand in front of MLK's monument, and read his words of compassion and love for humanity, was a truly humbling experience" said Markeia Brox-Chester, Senior Operations Associate. Visit the Spark Page for a closer look at how our employees celebrated!

Oliver Hüsing (* 17. Februar 1993 in Bühren) ist ein deutscher Fußballspieler, der bei Arminia Bielefeld unter Vertrag steht.

Karriere
Der 1,93 m große Innenverteidiger begann seine Karriere in seinem Geburtsort Bühren beim dortigen BV, ehe er 2004 in die Jugendabteilung des SV Werder Bremen wechselte. Dort durchlief er alle Jugendmannschaften, bis er am 21. April 2012 (36. Spieltag), noch in der U19-Mannschaft des Vereins aktiv, bei der 0:2-Auswärtsniederlage gegen den VfR Aalen sein Profidebüt in der 3. Liga feierte, als er in der Startaufstellung stand und durchspielte.

Nach guten Leistungen in der Reservemannschaft unterschrieb der Innenverteidiger am 1. April 2014 einen Profivertrag beim SV Werder bis Juni 2017. In der Bundesliga debütierte er am 17. Dezember 2014, dem 16. Spieltag der Saison 2014/15, als er im Auswärtsspiel bei Borussia Mönchengladbach eingewechselt wurde. In der Winterpause wechselte Hüsing bis zum Saisonende auf Leihbasis in die 3. Liga zu Hansa Rostock. Nach 16 Drittligaeinsätzen und zwei Toren. Hüsing spielte jeweils über die volle Distanz- sowie dem Gewinn des Landespokals kehrte Hüsing zur Saison 2015/16 nach Bremen zurück. Dort spielte er vornehmlich für die 2. Mannschaft in der 3. Liga. Lediglich zu einem Kurzeinsatz über sechs Minuten gegen den VfL Wolfsburg am 30. Spieltag kam er in der Bundesliga dieser Saison.

Zur Saison 2016/17 wechselte Hüsing zu Ferencváros Budapest und schloss sich ein Jahr später erneut dem FC Hansa Rostock an. In einer kombinierten Abstimmung auf DFB.de und dem Facebook-Kanal der 3. Liga wurde Hüsing zum Spieler des 3. Spieltags der Saison 2017/18 gewählt. Hüsing wurde unter Hansa-Trainer Pavel Dotchev Leistungsträger und Stammspieler. In 37 von 38 Ligaspielen lief er für Rostock auf und erzielte vier Tore. Zudem erhielt er einen Einsatz im DFB-Pokal gegen den Bundesligisten Hertha BSC (0:2) und wurde zum Ende der Saison Landespokalsieger Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns. Im Finale setzte er sich mit Hansa 2:1 gegen den FC Mecklenburg Schwerin durch.

Im Sommer 2019 verließ der Verteidiger, der in der Saison 2018/19 hauptamtlicher Kapitän war, den FC Hansa und wechselte zum Zweitligisten 1. FC Heidenheim. Dort erhielt Hüsing einen bis Juni 2022 gültigen Vertrag. Nach drei Jahren schloss er sich Arminia Bielefeld an.

Lucrezia Meier-Schatz (* 4. Januar 1952 in Le Locle, Kanton Neuenburg; heimatberechtigt in Tartar) ist eine Schweizer Politikerin (CVP).

Leben
Nach Abschluss ihres Politologiestudiums an der Universität Neuenburg war sie von 1984 bis 1988 Visiting scholar an der University of California in Berkeley. Sie promovierte 1989 an der Universität Neuenburg mit einer Dissertation zur Beziehung zwischen Kirche, Christdemokratie und der Wahrung der Menschenrechte von Arbeitsmigranten.

Lucrezia Meier-Schatz trat früh in die Politik ein. 1975, mit 23 Jahren, leitete sie die Abteilung Politische Studien im Generalsekretariat der CVP Schweiz. Sie blieb dieser Stelle bis 1983 treu, baute aber fortlaufend ihre politischen Tätigkeiten aus. Zwischen 1978 und 1983 bekleidete sie das Amt der Vizepräsidentin der eidg. Kommission für Jugendfragen und war (1979–1982) Mitglied der Expertenkommission Familienbericht des EDI. Zwischen 1992 und 1994 war sie im Auftrag des Bundes für die Planung und Durchführung des Internationalen Jahres der Familie 1994 verantwortlich. Von 1996 bis 2004 präsidierte sie die CVP des Kantons St. Gallen. Von 2000 bis 2012 war sie Mitglied des Parteipräsidiums der CVP Schweiz. 2008 war sie Kandidatin bei den St. Galler Regierungsratswahlen. Sie verfehlte jedoch im ersten Wahlgang das absolute Mehr und verzichtete nach einer Besprechung mit der Parteileitung auf eine Teilnahme am zweiten Wahlgang.

Von den Wahlen 1999 bis 2015 war sie Mitglied des Nationalrats. Ihre politischen Schwerpunkte sind die Familien-, die Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Steuerpolitik. Sie ist Mitglied der Kommission für Wirtschaft und Abgaben des Nationalrates, der Delegation bei der Interparlamentarischen Union, der Delegation für die Beziehungen zum Landtag des Fürstentums Liechtenstein und der Delegation für die Beziehungen zum Österreichischen Parlament.

Meier-Schatz ist gemäss Register der Interessenbindungen des Parlamentes auch Verwaltungsrätin der CSS Holding AG in Luzern, Präsidentin der Stiftung Fastenopfer, Präsidentin der Stiftung Kinder & Gewalt und Stiftungsrätin in folgenden Stiftungen: Schweizerische Greina-Stiftung (SGS) zur Erhaltung der alpinen Fliessgewässer, Swissaid in Bern, Autismus Ostschweiz, avanti donne. Sie ist Präsidentin des Verwaltungsrates der Kirche und Propstei Peter & Paul sowie Geschäftsführerin des schweizerischen Dachverbands der Familienorganisationen Pro Familia Schweiz und Mitglied des Ausschusses der World Family Organisation Europe (WFO-E).

Roschacher-Affäre

2007 stand sie in ihrer Eigenschaft als Präsidentin der Subkommission EJPD/BK der nationalrätlichen GPK im Rampenlicht. Anlässlich der Präsentation eines Berichts der Subkommission deutete sie öffentlich die Verwicklung von Bundesrat Christoph Blocher in ein angebliches Komplott gegen den ehemaligen Bundesanwalt Valentin Roschacher an. Die zentralen Aussagen über die Dokumente, mit denen sie diesen Verdacht begründete, erwiesen sich kurz danach als unwahr.

Die SVP warf der CVP daraufhin vor, eine politisch motivierte Intrige gegen Christoph Blocher zu führen, wobei Meier-Schatz eine treibende Kraft gewesen sei. Sie trat schliesslich auf die neue Legislaturperiode aus der GPK zurück und wechselte in die Kommission für Wirtschaft und Abgaben (WAK). Christoph Blocher und Christoph Mörgeli erstatteten am 4. September 2008 Strafanzeige u. a. gegen Meier-Schatz wegen Amtsgeheimnisverletzung, Nötigung und «rechtswidriger Vereinigung zur Beeinträchtigung der verfassungsmässigen Ordnung». Der vom Bundesrat zur Untersuchung eingesetzte ausserordentliche Staatsanwalt Thomas Hug beantragte dem Nationalrat, die parlamentarische Immunität von Meier-Schatz aufzuheben, um ein Strafverfahren gegen sie einleiten zu können. Der Ständerat sprach sich am 10. Juni 2009 in Übereinstimmung mit dem Nationalrat für den Schutz der Immunität von Meier-Schatz aus. Sie bleibt damit vor einer Strafverfolgung im Zusammenhang mit ihrer parlamentarischen Tätigkeit geschützt.

Privates
Lucrezia Meier-Schatz ist Mutter von zwei erwachsenen Söhnen. Sie spricht fliessend Französisch und Deutsch (bilingue) sowie Englisch und wohnt in St. Peterzell.

Wąwóz lessowy – wydłużona, wklęsła forma terenu o urwistych (stromych) zboczach i płaskim dnie (wąwóz).

Wąwóz powstaje w wyniku działalności erozyjnej wody na less. Po ulewnych deszczach powstają małe doliny, które wskutek dalszego działania wody przekształcają się w wąwóz.

Na zboczach wąwóz może być porośnięty roślinnością. Ta forma terenu pozwala dokładnie przyjrzeć się systemowi korzeniowemu drzew i krzewów.

In 2004 the one-hundredth anniversary of Theodor Herzl's death was commemorated throughout the world. The myth of Herzl, as it has developed over the last century, has perhaps become more important than the historical figure. This volume contains revised and expanded essays, which were originally delivered as lectures at international Herzl centennial conferences in Antwerp, London, and Jerusalem. Topics treated include the Herzl myth, Herzl's nationalism and Zionism, his self-understanding and image, his authorship of comedies and philosophical tales, Herzl and Africa, as well as his reception in Israeli and other literature. Zweig films are also considered within this same context.


Interesting thoughts on the MMLF shoes. I've been curious about them as well. Have you tried M.Gemi for black pumps? The quality of my M.Gemi slingback flats are excellent. I'm afraid I can't speak to their heels. Happy shoe hunting!
I don't know why I can't get over the hurdle. I've purchased way less practical for way more money. 😆 I do really want the croc though … that would probably tip the scale. I think because they are just black pumps, I want something unique … my Ted ones have gold heels and gold toe caps to scratch that itch. I've tried on M.Gemi and liked them … sizing is always the challenge, right?!? I may need to look again though.

Precision Imprint Is A Licensed Ohio University & Greek Printer
Ohio University began a licensing program to protect the use of its name and symbols. Ohio has registered the names, logos, and trademarks of the University and has delegated the responsibility for this program to the Office of Trademark Licensing to promote and protect all trademarks, service marks in a uniform manner and ensure that the uses of these marks reflect favorably on the University. Ohio University prohibits the use of any of its registered symbols, insignia, or other identifying marks without express written approval. For purpose of this rule, this prohibition includes but is not necessarily limited to all registered marks to the University's name, abbreviations, symbols, emblems, logos, mascot, slogans, official insignia, uniforms, landmarks, or songs.
The "Collegiate Licensed Product Associate" label not only signifies that the merchandise has passed the standards set by Ohio University, it also signifies that the products were made by a licensed company. It lets the consumer know that a portion of the purchase price is returned to the University. This label has to be on the garment, product or packaging.
When shopping for OU merchandise, look for the "Officially Licensed Collegiate Products" label. This label is your assurance that the product you are purchasing has been approved and represents the goodwill of the university. Products that do not bear the label, but use the marks of OU, may represent infringement of the trademark laws.
When purchasing OU merchandise, consumers should always look for the following characteristics to ensure the merchandise they purchase is officially licensed:
All officially licensed merchandise should display the Officially Licensed Collegiate Product Hologram somewhere on the product or hangtag.
The merchandise should depict OU logos and marks in a tasteful manner, as the university does not approve distasteful designs.
All merchandise should have the appropriate trademark designations (i.e. TM) next to a specific name or design.
Many companies may sell fraternity and sorority merchandise, but Precision Imprint is a licensed Greek vendor.
Greek organizations stress the importance of purchasing your fraternity and sorority merchandise from a licensed vendor. The merchandise sold represents that sorority or fraternity, which is why they only license certain vendors to sell their merchandise. They don't want just anyone selling merchandise with their insignia on it because it could compromise the integrity of the fraternity or sorority to have their Greek letters on merchandise that is of poor quality.

We are delighted to welcome Mike and the rest of the Arrow team onboard to celebrate the horror fantasy genre on an even wider canvas than before, something followers of both of our brands will appreciate".
