When you take corners, the sway bar will shift laterally. That's not even a question. Lateral locks are installed just next to the sway bar mount to prevent excess lateral shifting. DST's DLL Lateral Locks are an easy DIY upgrade that takes just minutes but saves you so much more in sway bar performance. But why just take our word for it?
After spending all the time and money tuning your suspension, it's such a drag (pun not intended) when your sway bar can't keep up with the performance of the rest of your chassis parts. New sway bar bushings and endlinks are awesome, but sometimes even those upgrades aren't enough. Well look no further, the solution to your sway bar shifting is here: DST Lateral Locks.
Shifting in your sway bar decreases the efficiency of your sway bar set up. Your vehicle's ability to take corners faster and keep your wheels on the ground is severely hindered when there is undesired movement in your sway bar. DST do-it-yourself Universal Sway Bar Lateral Locks prevent lateral movement or shifting in your sway bar. By installing locks less than a quarter of an inch from your existing sway bar mounts, you can prevent any unwanted movement in your sway bar.
Not only will DST's Lateral Locks increase your sway bar efficiency, but with the prevention of unwanted movement, you can keep your sway bar from knocking or damaging other parts of your chassis. With several sizes available, these lateral locks are designed to fit any stock factory or aftermarket sway bar. This is a do-it-yourself product that is very simple to install. The lateral locks come in two half pieces that wrap of the sway bar and are locked in place with the provided bolts and wrench. DST's lateral locks will install right next to the existing sway bar bushing mount, so you will want to measure as close to this spot as possible. Using a digital caliper, or a crescent wrench and ruler, measure your sway bar diameter.
How easy are these to install you ask? DST's lateral locks are the ultimate do-it-yourself suspension part. In just a few short minutes you can upgrade your sway bar and suspension set up. All you have to do is locate your sway bar mounts, tighten a couple of screws and head to the track. Here is a quick overview of this simple process.

Two spanking new smartphones have been launched in India in the last week or so and both come with big batteries with reverse charging technology. I'm talking about the ZTE Blade A2 Plus and the ASUS Zenfone 3S Max. If you're keen on getting yourself a smartphone you don't want to charge every few hours, these two devices are a definite contender. We bring you a comparative, one-on-one between the two devices to help you make the right choice. So here's the ZTE Blade A2 Plus vs ASUS Zenfone 3S Max match up.
The ZTE Blade A2 Plus has a bigger display when compared to the Zenfone 3S Max. Plus, its 2.5D curved glass gives it a finer display quality. Unless you are looking for a smaller, handier phone, the ZTE Blade A2 Plus gets the advantage here.
Both devices are powered by the same processor power here, but the Zenfone 3S Max only has 3GB of RAM compared to the Blade's 4GB. With 4GB of RAM the Blade is likely to offer better performance when it comes to multi tasking activities.
On the camera front, both the smartphones appear equally matched on paper. However, these are not camera-centric phones and I doubt they would be doing something extraordinary here. If you are a photo enthusiast, you may want to consider other smartphones like the Honor 6X or Oppo A57.
The Zenfone gets a big plus when it comes to the operating system as it brings the advantage of Android Nougat to the table. Multi window mode, ZenTouch Motion Gesture for quick app launch and game supporting app Game Genie are some of the cool features you can enjoy on the Zenfone. The Blade disappoints by denying users the benefits of the latest OS.
When it comes to the battery, both devices sport a 5000 mAh battery with reverse charging technology. However, there might be a tiny advantage to the Zenfone 3S Max considering it has a smaller display with a lower resolution, thereby extending its battery life.
Despite the big battery, the Zenfone 3S Max is the lighter of the two devices. That makes it much more easier to handle, particularly if you are using it one one hand a lot.
We've had a look at the tech specs of both the ZTE Blade A2 Plus vs ASUS Zenfone 3S Max. The ZTE Blade A2 Plus shines when it comes to the display and does get the advantage of a better RAM. If quick charging is important to you, then the Blade does offer that advantage as well. The Zenfone 3S Max on the other hand is less hefty for a smartphone with a big battery and brings the advantages of the latest Android OS, the Nougat. With both devices more or less well matched, you have the price to consider, and that's a whopping Rs.3000 extra for the Zenfone 3S Max.
If you are price conscious, the choice is clearly the Blade A2 Plus. But if you are looking for a reliable overall package, the decision should most likely go ASUS' way, considering the Brand name and better after sales service. On the other hand, if you are looking for value for your money, you'd be better off picking the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, which shines all round and is available at a great price. The choice is yours.

[April 13, 2014] The precision machining industry is a dynamic one. Advances in new technology over the years, especially in the form of computerized numerical control (CNC), and multi-axis capability, has led to revolutionary design and production of precision machine parts. At APM's CNC machining facility, we keep make every effort to keep up to date with new trends, and lately a topic generating some buzz has been the increased use of hexapod CNC milling machines, and how this precision manufacturing technology may, in the future, be favored over conventional CNC mills. A big question we must ask is - Is this technology an improvement over traditional methods of milling and machining a part, such as with a horizontal or vertical milling machine? An Interesting topic of conversation we thought, and we'd like to share some of it with readers of this blog.
While by no means a new technology, hexapod milling, and the direction that other high speed machining tools are taking, is a trend towards updating and improving upon existing designs. For the uninitiated, the term hexapod, refers to 6-legged. As it applies to precision manufacturing and milling machines is a little more complex. Milling machines have a long history, with simple designs dating back to the early 1800's. Technology advanced, and today we are able to machine a wide array of intricate parts. We can now machine across 3 (X,Y & Z), 4 (X,Y,Z & C or Q) or even 5 (X,Y,Z &C and Q) axes with CNC movement and other CAM devices. A hexapod mill, by utilizing 6 legs, opens up another dimension by creating 6 degrees of "freedom of movement". The system is based upon a type of parallel robot known collectively as a "Stewart Platform" utilizing 6 hydraulic actuators, or legs. A part to be machined sits on a platform affixed to the actuators allowing the part to be milled in essentially, 6 dimensions - the X,Y & Z axes, and pitch, roll & yaw rotations. So, three linear movements and three rotational movements. The result is an enhanced ability to precision machine parts with continuous motion to produce more complex, contoured workpieces.
Among certified CNC machinists, commercial acceptance of high-speed, hexapod CNC milling centers has been slow, but the techniques utilized are on the upswing. There aren't many dedicated hexapod centers on the market. Machinists are experimenting by retrofitting existing equipment. So, will what are now essentially CNC milling robots replace more conventional vertical and horizontal milling machines in the future? Is it an improvement? The jury is still out, but the general consensus is not any time soon. But as with any evolving technology, eventually conventionalism falls away. One major advantage over traditional milling centers involves setup time and handling time. When dealing in three axes only on a standard set up, a part must removed and adjusted with several handlings to produce a desired shape. Hexapod milling machines require only one setup to work along all linear and rotational axes. In addition, the robotic actuators rely on more advanced mathematical algorithms for accuracy in comparison to conventional methods. Barriers to full entry and acceptance include cost and availability; not everyone is willing to go all in. Who knows though, in the next decade we might see a changing of the guard. Stay tuned!

On Dec. 2 police executed Mario Woods, a young Black disabled man, in the SF Bayview. Over 50% of police killings are of people with disabilities, especially Black and Brown people with psych impairments (often referred to as 'mentally ill'.) This new piece was created with @sinsinvalid and disability justice organizers & artists @patty_berne, @blackkrip, @lafemmenatasha and @krip_love.
I believe that building relationships with disability justice organizers, and understanding and integrating disability justice into our work, would transform our movement. All of our lives & families are so shaped by ableism, but we never acknowledge it, and usually we don't even make the most basic attempts at access, like making our events accessible. We can do so much better. This piece offers a challenge to our comrades to acknowledge ableism and the way it intersects with other systemic forms of oppression. And as trans people especially we have an opportunity to show up for/with another targeted group of people who are usually shut out of our movement.

Sixty years after it was forged, the famous Key West agreement is in for a basic reconsideration.
Roles and missions of the armed forces were not a problem until the 20th century. Before that, the Army fought on land and the Navy fought at sea and their actions seldom overlapped.
By World War II, that was no longer the case as Army and Navy forces fought together under joint theater command. However, it was chiefly military aviation, operating over both land and sea, that knocked down the old dividing lines of service responsibility.
Before the war ended, the Army Air Forces had come close to achieving the status of a third service, with membership on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The aircraft carrier had replaced the battleship as the principal ship of the Navy. Fearing a possible loss of naval aviation, the Navy opposed the National Security Act of 1947, which unified the armed forces and created the Air Force as a separate military service.
In March 1948, Secretary of Defense James V. Forrestal gathered the service Chiefs at Key West, Fla., in an attempt to settle the contentious issue of roles and missions. That conference, along with a follow-up meeting five months later in Newport, R.I., established the service roles and missions essentially as they are today.
Now, 60 years later, Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, believes the time has come to revisit the Key West agreement. At Skelton's instigation, the 2008 defense authorization bill directed the Pentagon to conduct a major review of roles and missions.
The DOD findings will be forwarded to Congress along with the budget submission in February as the basis for a fundamental review by Congress of defense functions.
"This review will carefully examine whether the Department of Defense is truly developing the core competencies and capabilities to perform the missions assigned to it, and whether these capabilities are being developed in the most joint and efficient way by the military services," Skelton said. "This question has not been seriously examined within the Pentagon for decades, with no truly significant changes made since the Key West agreement in 1948."
"Roles" and "missions" are often used interchangeably, but, to be precise about it, roles are the broad and enduring purposes of each service, as established in law by Congress. Since 1956, the legal basis for roles has been Title 10 of the US Code. From that starting point, the President and Secretary of Defense assign primary and collateral missions—the specific tasks that amplify those statutory responsibilities.
In a sense, Skelton is right, in that the basic roles and missions established at Key West and Newport are still in effect. However, there have been numerous adjustments and additions—some of them major—over the years, and the current review merely is the latest in a series of proposals for change.
As was the case at Key West, all of these reviews have focused mainly on questions about airpower.
The early years of the postwar period saw the nation's air arm make peace with the Army, at least for a while. In 1943, the Army recognized airpower on a par with land power and said neither was an auxiliary of the other. Army leaders, including Gen. George C. Marshall and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supported the creation of the Air Force as a separate military service.
The means by which this was to be achieved was unification of the armed forces into a single organization with three co-equal branches, Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Navy was opposed. It had its own air force—Naval Aviation—and its own ground force—the Marine Corps—and it wanted to keep them.
Navy leaders feared that naval aviation might be lost in unification, as had been the case in Britain in 1918 when London merged the Royal Naval Air Service into the Royal Air Force. The apprehension was not completely baseless. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, the postwar Chief of the Army Air Forces, had expressed interest in naval aviation joining the new Air Force, although he soon dropped the idea.
There was similar concern that the Army might try to take over the Marine Corps. Then and later, much was said about the special Marine Corps capability for amphibious warfare. In fact, the biggest amphibious operation of World War II, the D-Day landings in Normandy, had been conducted by the Army.
The Navy also recognized the primacy that nuclear weapons would have in the future, and it wanted to control some or all of the strategic power projection mission.
Congressional support for the Navy was strong. To secure unification, proponents of a separate Air Force made concessions regarding the control of naval airpower and the status of the Marine Corps.
On July 26, 1947, President Truman signed the National Security Act, creating the National Military Establishment with a Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and co-equal Air Force, Army, and Navy departments. (In 1949, the NME became the Department of Defense.) The first Secretary of Defense was Forrestal, who had been Secretary of the Navy.
The National Security Act assigned general roles to the services: land combat to the Army, naval combat to the Navy, and sustained offensive and defensive air combat and operations to the Air Force. The same day, Truman issued Executive Order 9877 adding specificity and detail on roles and missions. The Navy was responsible for control of the sea and the air above it and the Air Force was responsible for combat in the air, including strategic bombardment, airlift, and tactical support of ground and naval forces. Again the Navy objected. If missions were defined in terms of medium of operation (land, sea, air), that was a threat to naval aviation.
Ironically, it was Forrestal, who had opposed unification when he was Secretary of the Navy, who was charged with restoring peace between the services and making the National Military Establishment work. In aid of that, he met with the Joint Chiefs on March 11 to 14 in Key West.
Sen. Barry Goldwater and Gen. David C. Jones.
The Chiefs drafted a new roles and missions statement, a paper titled, "Functions of the Armed Forces and the Joint Chiefs of Staff." In turn, Truman revoked Executive Order 9877 and Forrestal issued the "functions paper" in its stead April 21. The paper, which became known as "the Key West agreement," reaffirmed primary service responsibilities and assigned secondary or "collateral" missions.
The Navy agreed not to pursue its own strategic air force. However, the paper confirmed its authority to use airpower forces to attack specific targets, including inland targets, related to its primary missions. The Air Force agreed that carrier aviation would be left with the Navy. Everyone further agreed the Marine Corps would not become "a second land Army."
Then came a supplement to the agreement, crafted at the follow-on meeting at Newport in August. The supplement redefined the term "primary mission" in a way that would fail to exclude the Navy from a role in strategic air operations. Despite the Navy's promise not to create a strategic air force, it charged ahead with a program to develop a "supercarrier" big enough and strong enough to handle nuclear bombers and challenge the Air Force B-36 for the strategic power projection mission. It also planned to field, by 1950, two aircraft, the AJ-1 Savage and P2V-3C Neptune, to carry nuclear bombs.
In April 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson, who succeeded Forrestal, canceled the supercarrier, setting off the so-called "Revolt of the Admirals." The Navy organized a special unit, Op-23, that conducted an all-out, unrestrained attack on the B-36. The low point of this campaign was the appearance of an "anonymous" document alleging fraud and misconduct in the B-36 program. It was soon discovered that it had been written by an assistant to the undersecretary of the Navy, aided by the assistant head of Op-23.
The Navy overplayed its hand in the attack and Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declared that the real issue was refusal by the Navy "in spirit as well as deed" to accept unification. Air Force arguments and the Navy's loss of credibility carried the day. The B-36 went ahead and the supercarrier did not.
Marine Corps backers also pushed against the agreed roles and missions limits. In August 1950, Rep. Gordon L. McDonough (R-Calif.) wrote to President Truman proposing Marine representation on Joint Chiefs of Staff. Truman replied: "For your information, the Marine Corps is the Navy's police force, and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's."
McDonough made the letter public and Truman was forced to publicly "regret the unfortunate choice of language." The Marine Corps has since attained JCS membership. Although it is still part of the Navy Department, it has effectively become a fourth service and a second land army, but the grief heaped on Truman is well-remembered, and subsequent roles and missions reviews have treated the Marine Corps with great caution.
During the first decade under unification, DOD handled several mission realignments internally. The Air Force and Navy in 1948 merged their air transport services to form the Military Air Transport Service. The Army retained its light transports until transferring them to Air Force during the Vietnam War. A more complicated issue was whether guided missiles were artillery (Army), pilotless aircraft (Air Force), or something altogether different. The key point was resolved by several decisions in the 1950s that gave the ICBM mission to the Air Force. USAF thus had two-thirds of the strategic triad, with Navy submarine-launched ballistics missiles being the other third.
After his 1953 inauguration as President, Eisenhower became the driving force behind the next major change in centralization of authority. In a message to Congress, he declared "separate ground, sea, and air warfare is gone forever" and called for realignment of roles and missions.
The Air Force and the Army supported Eisenhower. The Navy and the Marine Corps opposed him. Spaatz, offering his opinion from retirement, proposed "complete integration" of the armed forces into a single service, but Eisenhower's program did not go that far. As a popular President who had been a five-star general, Eisenhower had unbeatable credibility and Congress gave him most of what he asked for.
Under the Defense Reorganization Act of 1958, the services retained their legal, Title 10 roles. However, they lost their Presidentially assigned operational missions. Those were transferred to unified and specified commands on a geographical and functional basis.
Thereafter, the sole purpose of each armed service would be to organize, train, and equip forces for the combatant commands.
A new chain of command bypassed the services altogether. It ran from the President to the Secretary of Defense and through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the unified and specified commands. The warmaking powers of the United States, it was said, were vested in the President, Secretary, and eight warlords—the heads of seven unified commands and one specified command, Strategic Air Command.
US Central Command, formed in 1983. CENTCOM, which grew out of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force, would take the lead in the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and later actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
US Space Command, formed in 1985. No single service was assigned the primary role for space. Space Command folded in 2002, with many of its missions transferred elsewhere.
US Special Operations Command, formed in 1987. It was brought into being at the express direction of Congress and over opposition of the Joint Chiefs. SOCOM is unique among the unified commands in that its authority was statutorily stated—and thus protected—in Title 10.
US Transportation Command, formed in 1987. It integrated the forces and operations of Air Force airlift and tankers, Navy sealift, and Army ground transport.
US Strategic Command, formed in 1992. Strategic Command assumed not only many of SAC's duties but also absorbed many of those discharged by US Space Command until its demise in 2002.
In the opinions of many, the services continued to dominate the unified and specified commands, and the joint organization was ineffective in making decisions. There were various calls for reform, but the critical push came from Air Force Gen. David C. Jones in his last days as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In testimony to the House Armed Services Committee in 1982, Jones said that commanders of the combatant commands and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs did not have the authority that they needed.
Among those who heard the testimony was Rep. Ike Skelton, then a junior member of the committee. He was impressed that Jones took a position opposed by the Department of Defense and most of his colleagues. Skelton recalled the moment in launching his program for review of roles and missions in 2008.
The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 gave theater commanders more control over the forces of all services, transferred some authority from the services to joint structures, and strengthened the position of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The legislation was forced by Congress on a reluctant Pentagon.
"The Goldwater-Nichols Act clarified the chain of command from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the unified commanders," said Department of Defense historians Roger R. Trask and Alfred Goldberg. "The commanders in chief of the unified commands came directly under the Secretary—the Chairman and the JCS were not in the command chain."
Sen. Sam Nunn, Democrat of Georgia.
Goldwater-Nichols ushered in the era of "jointness." It also required that every three years, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff submit a full report on roles and missions. In the first such report in 1989, Adm. William J. Crowe Jr. said that roles and missions were fundamentally sound as written.
When the Cold War ended, Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, led a charge to revisit and revise service roles and missions. In a speech to the Senate in July 1992, Nunn called for "a no-holds-barred, everything-on-the-table" review. He said the Key West agreement had left the job unfinished and that it was time to correct the "redundancy and duplication" that existed among the armed forces.
Nunn targeted 10 areas, the first and foremost of which was tactical airpower. How should the job be divided between land-based air and carrier air? Nunn said it was not a question of putting either the Navy or the Air Force completely out of the power projection business. It was a matter of force mix. With each of the four services operating tactical aircraft, he said "we must find ways to save billions of dollars with streamlining and eliminating the duplication in this area."
The big issue (as framed by a New York Times editorial in November 1992) was "Who Needs Four Air Forces?" Nunn also pointed out—although it never became a matter for the headlines—that both the Army and the Marine Corps had light infantry divisions.
The Pentagon's response was in a lengthy report in February 1993 by Gen. Colin L. Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"Today, the fact that all [services] have airplanes and helicopters causes some to argue that America has 'Four Air Forces,' implying we have three more than we need," Powell said. "In fact, America has only one air force, the United States Air Force, whose role is prompt and sustained offensive and defensive air operations. The other services have aviation arms essential to their specific roles and functions but which also work jointly to project America's airpower."
Powell stepped gingerly around the issue of two land armies: "The capabilities of the contingency and expeditionary forces in the Army and Marine Corps provide decision-makers with valuable alternatives and should be retained. The possibility of further decreases in the Army's light infantry will be studied as force structure is reduced."
Powell's report did not sit well with lawmakers who had hoped to save billions with consolidations and realignments. In 1994, Congress instructed the Secretary of Defense to appoint a commission of seven private citizens to study roles and missions. Lest there be any doubt about the focus, the Congressional Research Service produced a study, "Four US 'Air Forces': Overlap and Alternatives."
Rep. Ike Skelton, Democrat of Missouri.
The commission got plenty of advice. In October 1994, two weeks before he retired, Gen. Merrill A. McPeak, the ever-amazing Air Force Chief of Staff, proposed that the Air Force close air support mission be transferred to the Army. As soon as McPeak was gone, the Air Force disavowed the idea and nothing came of it.
The commission's report in May 1995 surprised its sponsors. It said that "popular perceptions of large-scale duplication among the services are wrong," repeated Powell's conclusion that "America has only one Air Force" but that "the other services have aviation arms essential to their specific roles and functions." It advised that radical restructuring of operational functions was not needed.
That was the last high-visibility review of roles and missions until now.
In recent years, the Quadrennial Defense Review has become the main venue for scrutiny of DOD and the services. Language in Title 10 directs the JCS Chairman to assess roles and missions, consider "unnecessary duplication of effort among the armed forces," and provide that assessment to the Secretary of Defense in time for inclusion in a QDR.
The three QDRs to date—conducted in 1997, 2001, and 2005—have said nothing of consequence about roles and missions. That does not mean no issues or questions have arisen. For example, the Air Force has repeatedly sought primary responsibility for space and for unmanned aerial vehicles, and has repeatedly been rebuffed. Responsibilities are scattered and unclear on cyber warfare and on intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance. The armed forces are increasingly involved in peacekeeping and non-military roles that look much like "nation building," which had previously been disclaimed as a proper mission for the military.
The current inquiry began in July 2007 when Skelton's House Armed Services Committee created a panel on Roles and Missions, chaired by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.). Skelton concurrently moved to put a requirement for a major Pentagon roles and missions review in the defense authorization bill for 2008. The bill calls for another such report to Congress in 2011 with reports every four years thereafter.
DOD's internal review, launched in May, has been conducted by seven roles and missions teams, which looked at duplication of capabilities and efforts among the services as well as six other specific issues: unmanned aerial systems, intratheater airlift, cyber operations, irregular warfare, internal department organization and responsibilities, and interagency roles and missions capabilities. The Pentagon hopes to finish its study in late November, work it with Administration and Presidential transition team members in December, and turn it in to Congress before the FY 2010 budget is submitted in February.
Meanwhile, Cooper's panel in January published a report, consisting largely of a collection of perspectives and articles and columns reprinted from newspapers and magazines, but there are indications of the panel's view. Even though "the military has been left carrying the burden of the failures of our national security institutions," the panel said, "our military has resisted change just as they have past efforts at reform. The Air Force and Navy are re-emphasizing more traditional threats and downplaying the unexpected threats we face today. The other two services, the Army and Marines, try to tinker at the margins of their mission even as they suffer most from the current overstretch."
Cooper hit a similar theme in an article in Armed Forces Journal in March 2008. Despite a budget of $600 billion a year, he said, the Pentagon "still produces a military that is overstretched. At least part of the problem is a system focused on creating the ideal military establishment to fight large-scale conventional wars such as World War II instead of the smaller, complex conflicts we face today."
These thoughts resemble the emphasis on current operations and irregular warfare by Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates and the chastisement of the services, mainly the Air Force, for "next-war-itis," the Gates term for excessive concern with potential threats and conventional conflicts of the future. No doubt more will be heard about that in the coming round on roles and missions.
John T. Correll was editor in chief of Air Force Magazine for 18 years and is now a contributing editor. His most recent article, "Daylight Precision Bombing," appeared in the October issue.


The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (1996) and the two chapters from Tom Flanagan's book First Nations? Second Thoughts (2000) present two very different views on how the relationship between Aboriginal people and the Canadian government ought to be structured. Flanagan essentially takes an assimilationist position, arguing that the disadvantages Aboriginal peoples currently experience within Canadian society (e.g., poverty, addiction, unemployment, domestic abuse, lack of education, overrepresentation in the criminal justice system) that currently cost taxpayers approximately $9-10 billion per year are only exacerbated by the colonialist reserve system that serves to isolate and alienate. His solution is to disband the reserves and have Aboriginal peoples move to areas where they can access education, services, and employment that will help them address these issues and integrate into society. The RCAP, on the other hand, promotes the idea of self-governance (e.g., the reintroduction of traditional authority structures, control over education, health care, housing, employment and particularly economic development and resource management) for Aboriginal peoples to help them address the issues they are facing within their own communities while maintaining their culture and ties to their traditional territories. Given all that you have learned, including the situation of the Innu people, the implementation of the Nisga'a Treaty, the Delgamuukw and Tsilhqot'in decisions, the Flanagan and RCAP readings, and the research you will do to support your position, what place in our society do you think Canada's First Nations people should occupy in the 21st century? Should they become more integrated into the mainstream culture, which would require a fundamental restructuring of the reserve system, a potential loss of culture and ongoing federal administration, or distance themselves from it by gaining self-governance and autonomy from federal patronage and re-establishing their traditional communities? You will need to pick a side here, and I don't just want your opinion – you will need to provide solid evidence for your argument and counterargument, which means you will need to do some research (you can use the class notes, online posts, other online sources, journal articles, books, etc.) and you will need to cite your sources properly in the text of your paper.
Your assignments will be assessed using two broad criteria: 1) how well you demonstrate an understanding of and ability to apply the sociological concepts relating to the question; 2) how well you argue for the thesis of your essay, including how well you handle possible criticisms of your argument.
Your thesis statement is a single, short sentence that states precisely what you want to prove. It should clearly state which side of the argument you will be taking – in other words, your answer to the question being posed. Your whole introduction should be at most two to three sentences.
In the main body of your paper, you will argue for your conclusion and present opposing arguments/counterarguments. Your task here is to convince the reader that your thesis is correct through the method of rational persuasion. You need to provide the reader with some good reasons to think your thesis is correct; in order to do so, you also must address potential criticisms of your argument in your counterargument (this should be a separate paragraph or paragraphs in the main body of your paper), and follow this up by giving the reader reason to think that the criticism fails to undermine your argument.
Overestimating the strength of your own position. You may feel that it is clear that your thesis is true, and therefore you don't need to present much argumentation to support it. However, your reader may disagree.
Your reader will find it difficult to keep track of so many different arguments, especially if they approach the topic from different directions.
The ones that will stand out will be the very best ones and the very worst ones; as such, only the one or two most compelling arguments should be developed. Including the weaker ones only gives the impression that you are unable to tell the difference between the strong and the weak.
You only have 1,000 words and including too many different arguments will result in your covering nothing in-depth and everything superficially. Your paper will lack cohesion and focus and your conclusion will be unclear.
This is a single, brief paragraph at the end where you summarize the arguments you've made in the main body and stating the significance of your argument or position overall. You should not be raising any new arguments or points here.

Some of the views expressed in the following notes on newly approved products should be regarded as preliminary, as there may have been limited published data at the time of publication, and little experience in Australia of their safety or efficacy. However, the Editorial Executive Committee believes that comments made in good faith at an early stage may still be of value. Before new drugs are prescribed, the Committee believes it is important that more detailed information is obtained from the manufacturer's approved product information, a drug information centre or some other appropriate source.
Xalatan (Pharmacia & Upjohn)
2.5 mL in 5 mL bottles
Indication: glaucoma
Latanoprost is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F2. When instilled into the eyes, the drug is absorbed through the cornea and hydrolysed to its active form. The outflow of aqueous humour is increased and therefore intraocular pressure falls.
The peak concentration in the eye is reached two hours after a dose, but the maximum effect occurs after 8-12 hours. As intraocular pressure remains reduced for at least 24 hours, latanoprost only needs to be used once a day. Approximately half of a dose is absorbed systemically and then metabolised in the liver.
Latanoprost has been compared with timolol in randomised double-blind studies. After 6 months, intraocular pressure was reduced by 27-34% in the latanoprost group and by 20-33% in the timolol group.
Adverse events occur in 5-15% of patients. Common complaints are burning, stinging and itching, redness of the eyes and blurred vision. With time, the pigmentation of the iris may change. This alteration in eye colour affected approximately 7% of the 460 patients who took latanoprost during clinical trials.
At present, the long-term effects of latanoprost are unknown. Will treatment prevent loss of vision due to glaucoma? The drug has only been approved for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension who are intolerant of, or insufficiently responsive to, other drugs. Although this suggests that latanoprost may be added to other treatments, there are limited data on combined therapy.

We are a student body associated with Academics and Research Cell, IIT Kanpur which is directly placed under Student's Gymkhana. We aim at cultivating and promoting research interests in the student community.
We aim to provide students the freedom and opportunities to work upon diverse areas of business , technology and existing industrial and national challenges as well as pursue their own ideas so as to become innovators and future leaders.
The Research Wing of the Academics and Research Cell will organize the 2nd edition of Students' Research Convention from the 30th to the 31st of March 2019. We hope the convention to be one of the first of its kind in the country. We aim to include multiple conferences, talks, events, and sessions with the motive of spreading the culture of research among students. In its first edition held last year, it received participation from colleges across the country. We envision to build and improve upon last year's success. The need for such an event had been felt for years in the campus. This idea was originally conceived in the year 2015-16 and was also approved in the Institute Advisory Committee (IAC).
Promotion of Work Experience & Research (PoWER) aims to promote coordinated Research and Work-Experience through student-industry interaction. Through PoWER, we plan to offer skill-building projects to help students learn and apply their knowledge in real life problems. It also aims at interaction within the faculty, departments, professionals and the student body to create a sustainable innovation ecosystem.
We, by the end of this academic year, envision to have gathered the trust of the faculty and the student community in providing challenging real-life projects, the trust of the companies in providing solutions at minimal cost and the trust of the Institute authorities in providing an economically sustainable model.
Professor Interface:A professor can roll out a list of projects with the number of students required and the prerequisites needed. He/she can look into the individual applications and resumes of students. He/She can also ask for a statement of purpose if required.
Student Interface:A student would have the option to apply to a list of available projects and submit his/her resume according to it. He/She would be able to also look into the current research interests of the professor.
Once this is successfully established, we plan to extend it to the applications of Undergraduate Projects too. Our long-term plan includes incorporating professors from other Institutes as well. This will make the application for Research Internships hassle-free.


We discuss the results and routines from the fall European series and the Mexican Gala, the history of the Sokol's in the US and share the skill combinations we most want to see on bars and high bar. Then, in the first of a two-part series, we talk to UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field about why gymnastics matters, the power of an athlete identity, college gymnastics as a life skills class, basing personal value on performance, the Kellogg's Tour, incentivizing artistry and her most embarrassing moment as a dancer.
Next week, in part two of our interview with Miss Val, we find out why so many of her athletes have the desire to go back to elite after college, why Canadians do so well in NCAA, de-programming deflated athletes to build self-esteem back up, and what she told famous gymnasts we all know, who shall not be named because we would never want to put their NCAA eligibility at risk [insert zerbert to NCAA rules here], about going pro.
American Sokol Organization. A Sokol Club in Cleveland with gymnastics for all.
Dvora's article in Jezebel with sassy Sokol Olympian, 88-year-old Laddie Bakanic.
Help Jacoby by donating $1 to her recovery fund.
Shang Chunsong's handstands are amazing! It's like she turns into a board on top of the high bar. Wow.
There was a Sokol run gym in Baltimore, unfortunately the facilities were destroyed in the August 2011 earthquake and a new location still hasnt been found.
Liz Tricase did a tkatchev-tkatchev combination in 2003 too.
My word! I was a hot mess that day. I don't know why I kept calling a stretched Tkatchev a Balabanov.
Ms Val doing a gymnastics nutcracker would be so cool! I wish I had a couple hundred thousand dollars lying around to see that happen.
In honor of the fact that this weekend is Sokolfest in Pittsburgh, PA, I was just searching the archives for Gymcastic commentary on Sokol. I love that you gave some history about the organization–we celebrated the 150-year anniversary of American Sokol last year. I\'m the one behind the Sokol New York Twitter, and we definitely follow Uncle Tim, Jessica, Lauren, Spanny, Dvora. In fact, Dvora and I met up in Brooklyn because of my 2012 Sokol tweeting (I\'ve since taken my opinions to my own Twitter handle @marnilynn22). The good news is…Sokol is now a group made up of all ethnicities. Oh, and there is still plenty of \"socializing\" after adult gymnastics class.


On February 9th Google updated an old post detailing email authentication adoption from 2013 (90% of all emails authenticated at the time) to show freshly updated 2016 numbers. This updated data reveals that 97% of all emails received by their services are being authenticated with at least one form of authentication.
Traditionally not authenticating your emails didn't really hurt your email deliverability, it definitely did not help, but it didn't really hurt you either. However based on a review of these numbers, add to this that other major commercial email providers are seeing the same type of adoption, it's likely that we will see a shift in the requirements to getting mail delivered to these vendors. Authenticate your email or expect to go to the junk folder, or even be blocked from delivering.
Adding these authentication numbers with Gmail's recent changes to visually show email recipients if messages were transmitted over unencrypted channels with an open red lock icon, described here by Laura at Word to the Wise.
As a final thought to prove that authentication works and that ISPs are focusing more or the accuracy and presence of these types of records, Gmail has announced further support of DMARC's p=reject policies for their domains in 2016. Mail.ru also announced upcoming DMARC p=reject changes on the DMARC discussion lists, starting with my.ru on March 1, and moving to their other domains including; mail.ua, bk.ru, inbox.ru, list.ru and finally mail.ru.
Remember when Yahoo and AOL first rolled out p=reject policies several ESPs and their clients email delivery where impacted by the policy updates. Impact from these upcoming policy changes can still be mitigated before the policies are put in place. If you are using these domains to send email consider registering new domains, or using your corporate email domains to properly authenticate your emails.

Welcome Back Full Capacity!
by Jeff OHara May 24, 2021
We're a little over 48 hours removed from what might've been the last game played at Founders Park this year and I've had some time to reflect on what was a memorable weekend, not only on the field watching our YardCocks but off the field sharing the first full capacity sporting event with our fellow Gamecocks since 2019.
Tuesday morning USC made the announcement that Founders Park would be 100% capacity for the weekend series against Tennessee. An announcement that was more than just allowing 4,000 more fans into the stadium, but a signaling that we're almost at the finish line (if we're not already there). This finish line is one that has felt like it might never come... from the NCAA Women's Tournament in 2020 (that saw us with the best chance of cutting down the nets and raising a National Championship banner) canceled to the eerie feeling of only 10-15k fans in Williams Brice Stadium this past fall watching our team limp to the finish line with a 2-8 record... it almost seemed as if with each passing sporting event you had to question if we'd ever be back. BUT BOY WERE WE BACK THIS WEEKEND! Thursday night saw the largest baseball crowd of the season (not sold out) but enough to give you a feeling that we were close, close enough that you could smell it! (No I'm not talking about that amazing TK Oriental chicken smell) BUT the sweet sweet smell of victory. Victory over an invisible enemy that has ravaged our country and world for the past year and prevented us from spending time with our friends and loved ones at arenas, ballparks and stadiums and every where in between.
While we might've lost the series 2-1, I want to focus on what was an all around win... and that was the fan, player and coaches experience for (3) days at the ballpark this past weekend. I had the chance to be there for two out of the three games and it was nothing short of spectacular. Thursday night I was right behind home plate sitting behind a couple of MLB scouts. I always enjoy sitting next to them whenever I get the opportunity because it reminds you of just how elite you have to be to make it to the BIG LEAGUES. Watching them track every last little detail including how quickly each player ran to 1st base regardless of where the ball was hit just reminded me how my dad always told me, they watch everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING!
While we didn't get the result on the field that we were hoping for Thursday night, Friday morning the sun did rise and brought on a new opportunity to get a W and meet a ton of newly made Gamecock friends! Earlier in the week I was able to coordinate tailgate plans with @Big_Eazzzzy and @sirbigspur843 from Twitter. These two guys I'd actually had the pleasure of meeting before, each for the 1st time at The Roost here in Charleston on separate occasions (GREAT Gamecock bar for those who ever come visit) while watching our YardCocks play. These wouldn't be the only guys that would make it to the tailgate as we had @taylordiveley (undefeated in beer pong coming into the tailgate, left with a blemish on his record) join us along with @CockyTexan77, @gamecockgirl71 and others. It was fun to roll out the tables and chairs, turn on the tunes and enjoy some Skrewball and other libations before a Friday night under the lights in Founders Park. We had the chance to talk with Coach Greg Adkins before the game at our tailgate which was truly a great experience. Listening to him talk about the camaraderie between the coaching staff and how much fun he's having here at Carolina was a breath of fresh air. He also made it known that it was going to be a busy June (one that all Gamecock fans are ready for) as recruiting and camp season picks up which was another sign that this coaching staff is READY TO GO!
Inside the game we experienced Founders Park at its finest. If I had to put a number on it I'd say we were pushing 90% capacity at the park with fans in seats. I was lucky enough to have my girlfriend accompany me this weekend to both games and she got to get the full firsthand experience of what a ROWDY Founders Park can look like on a Friday night. From the Wave, to the Rowdy Roosters heckling on every pitch, to the Brady Allen COCKBOMB that gave us a 3-2 lead that we wouldn't relinquish... it truly was a night to remember!
As we celebrated in the parking lot after the game (and maybe a little more in the Vista) I could only just sit back and be THANKFUL. Thankful for the opportunity to attend a FULL CAPACITY event with friends and loved ones while cheering on our COCKS! I know a lot of times people use the phrase "You don't know what you've got until it's gone", and I don't think that could sum up how these last 12 months have felt any better. You can bet I won't take one Gamecock game for granted moving forward until my time on Earth comes to an end.
I'm excited to see what our YardCocks can do in Hoover this week and it all starts tomorrow against the Tide. If we can reel off at least two wins in the SEC tourney, it might not've been our last game at Founders Park this year... AND if that's the case, I look forward to throwing a larger tailgate with many more new Gamecock friends in the coming weeks!
GO COCKS! SHAKE THIS PLACE!

Buc-ee's will add locations in 2019 in Melissa and Royse City
January 8, 2019 by Michael-Brownstead

Did Chinese Soldiers Use A Flamethrower On Innocent Muslims?
The Chinese army recently used a flamethrower to drive suspected terrorists out of a cave in the Xinjiang region of the country, according to reports. However, the victims may have been innocent Muslims.
China's government-run newspaper, People's Liberation Army (PLA) Daily, announced that grenades and tear gas were first used by soldiers, but when those weapons did not work, a senior officer told the troops, "Use the flamethrower," according to both RT.com and the Daily Express.
After 28 suspected terrorists came out of the cave, they were "completely annihilated," noted the government-controlled newspaper. China claimed the victims were "foreign-led extremists" responsible for killing 16 coal miners in Aksu, Xinjiang, in September, reports RT.com.
However, Dilate Raxit, a spokesperson for the World Uighur Congress (an exiled Muslim group), said that "[t]he Paris attacks gave China a political excuse to brazenly use flamethrowers to clamp down on unarmed Uighurs who have no just legal protection and who seek to avoid arrest," according to the Daily Express.
This alleged attack comes after Fang Jinghui, a Chinese citizen, was reportedly executed by ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, ISIL or Daesh. After the execution, Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to "hold the perpetrators accountable" and "resolutely crack down on violent terrorist operations that devastate innocent lives."

Local law-enforcement agencies turn to the net for recruiting
KTRK-13's Mike McGuff reports on HPD's officer recruitment blog:
The blog is the unique brain child of Mike McCoy, a senior officer with the Houston Police Department. It's one of the few blogs that show up in a search engine concerning the subject. Officer McCoy, who works in recruiting, says he wanted a way to go straight to the potential recruits.
"I think a lot of young people nowadays are on the Internet all the time," Officer McCoy told abc13.com. "They're always searching different career paths on the Internet. And I thought, if you blog and you YouTube, and you just put in keywords like 'The Houston Police Department,' not only will you get our website, but my blog is popping up now because I post every day on it."
The Houston Police Department Recruiting Blog has only been around since March but has already started a dialogue between an officer hungry department and possible recruits.
Kudos to HPD for taking the initiative on this. The internet should certainly be used to full advantage in recruiting.
Elsewhere, KPRC-2's Daniella Guzman reports on the Harris County Sheriff's Office recruiting site, which we discussed briefly here:
The new Harris County Sheriff's Office Web site is fast and action-packed, similar to a Hollywood movie, but some have problems with it, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.
The site is filled with hi-tech, 3D, high-definition films targeted to the young generation.
"We are trying to attract people who are are into video games, hi-tech and electronics," said Capt. John Martin with the Harris Country Sheriff's Office.
It has a Mission Impossible theme, filled with music and modern graphics. The Sheriff's Office is promoting positions in all their departments, a very similar strategy to the Army and the Navy's Web sites.
The Democratic candidate running against Sheriff Thomas doesn't like the website:
Councilman Adrian Garcia is running for county sheriff.
He said the quote on the Web site from Ernest Hemingway does not appear to be recruiting public servants. It reads, "There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."
"It looks like a commercial for Dog the Bounty Hunter. It's not professional. We need to send out a professional message," said Garcia.
Of all the criticisms he might level about professionalism in the department, that one seems misplaced. Reasonable people might quibble with a spot or two in some of the videos, but the end product doesn't seem unprofessional to me -- far from it. And the department claims that it's effective:
The Web design company, ATGNAT.COM, said the site is already starting to pay off for the department.
"They have had enormous number of hits. The other advantage is the people looking at the Web site stay there for at least seven minutes," a company spokesman said. The Web site has been since June 1. Officials said they have already had 30,000 hits.
Both HPD and the Sheriff's Office need qualified officer candidates. If they can use the web effectively to attract those candidates, that seems like a good thing.

We have had the bed for two weeks and already see a difference in our sleeping habits. My husband does not snore any more, he sleeps almost straight through the night, and his legs don't jump around as much at night. I don't see much difference. Was hoping it would help with my back and legs but haven't seen a difference. It took a while for me to get use to the firmness of the bed but I love that the most about the mattress now. Glad we bought it.
It's very comfortable, especially on a adjustable bed.

Pratt boys inspired by tournament wins at Hoisington
Kahrie Stegman
The Pratt High School boys basketball team went 2-1 for the week in the Hoisington Tournament, and senior Jarrett Bates was selected on to the All-Tournament team.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, Pratt faced La Crosse and barely lost 43-46.
"Tuesday we lost to a strong LaCrosse team and then beat Victoria and Otis Bison in the consolation side of the bracket," Battin said. "I thought for all but the first half of the LaCrosse game we played hard."
"The first game did not go the way we wanted it to, but we didn't hang our heads," Bates said. "We got back in the gym and back to work and came away with two big wins."
Pratt's next game was against Victoria on Thursday, Jan. 24. The Greenbacks came away with a win, 57-29.
Bates felt the win on Thursday boosted the team's confidence.
"Winning isn't everything, but to a struggling team, it sure helps boost the teams' morale and confidence," Bates said.
Thursday and Saturday's games went well offensively for Pratt.
On Saturday, Jan. 25, the team defeated Otis-Bison 68-50.
"Saturday against Otis Bison's zone, our guys moved the ball well and we passed really well on the interior," Coach Battin said.
Bates thought the whole team played well at the tournament.
"Everyone played well together," Bates explained. "Our guards took care of the ball and found ways to get it to our bigs in the post as we had the height advantage against some of the teams."
Battin saw three of the players shine during last week's games.
"Karter, Peyton and Jarrett both did a nice job of scoring inside for us," Battin said. "Karter had 10 assists on Saturday."
He also felt the team played better than they had before.
"We played hard and executed much better," Battin said. "Offensively we got the ball inside."
Bates agreed.
"We were able to correct mistakes from the previous game and had better execution of set defenses and plays," Bates said. "The team came together in a big way as we knew we needed a win to stay in the tournament."
Bates was voted on by the coaches to be a part of the Hoisington All-Tournament Team.
Pratt hosts Hoisington next on Friday, Jan. 31.

PwnageTool bundle for iPhone 3G running final version of iOS 4.1 has been released. Unlike iOS 4.2 bundle for iPhone 3GS, this one has fully working Cydia and it also supports hacktivation.
Since the current version of Redsn0w reportedly has issues (breaks phone app, Cydia doesn't work) jailbreaking iPhone 3G on iOS 4.1 (final version), you can use this bundle with PwnageTool to jailbreak your iPhone 3G on iOS 4.1 while preserving your baseband so that you can unlock your phone later with Ultrasn0w.
Guide for patching PwnageTool with Pwnage bundle is similar to the iOS 4.2 guide posted here, or the iOS 4.0 guide posted here. You can follow those guides to patch PwnageTool 4.01 so that it can identify iOS 4.1 for iPhone 3G.
