You have to do a few things actually. The first thing is to get another letter from your doctor. Have him make a few copies of it. Give one copy to your employer and you keep the original. Make sure your employer actually READS it in front of you. You want extra copies because whenever they pop up and say that they dont have one on file for you, you have extras on hand. Always keep a copy in your purse as proof.\n\nYou also want to contact your local labor board. Let them know what is going on and if there is anything else that can be done.\n\nFinally, you may have to consult an attorney. Thats your last resort but it may have to be done if your employer is refusing to honor your doctors notes. Note though that your employer could be trying to force you out as well. If you are strong enough to stand your ground, do so. Make sure you are giving him no reason at all to dismiss you. Then if you do get fired, you have ammunition on your side.\n\nI went through something similiar and it was found in my favor. I wish you all the luck in the world. You are in a tough spot.

By . Chris Waugh . Follow @@ChrisDHWaugh . Bojan Krkic is a 'great prospect' who can excite the Premier League this season, according to his Stoke City team-mate Steve Sidwell. The 23-year-old, widely regarded just a few years ago as one of the most exciting prospects in European football, signed for Stoke this summer from Barcelona in a £1million deal. Midfielder Sidwell also moved to the Potters after his contract expired at Fulham and he has been extremely impressed with Bojan, who has netted three goals in three pre-season matches. Exciting: Stoke City midfielder Steve Sidwell believes Bojan Krkic (pictured) can be a hit in the Premier League . New arrival: Sidwell signed for Stoke this summer on a free transfer from Fulham after being released . Sidwell told Talksport: 'Bojan has looked very impressive and very sharp during pre-season, and he’s scored some goals as well. 'But it’s what you expect when you look at the teams he has played for, especially his education at Barcelona. 'He’s a great prospect for us, he’s an exciting player and I’m looking forward to seeing him in action when the season begins.' Bojan's career has stalled somewhat since he first burst on to the scene at Barcelona in 2007. CLICK HERE to start picking your Fantasy Football team NOW! There’s £60,000 in prizes including £1,000 up for grabs EVERY WEEK… . He moved to Roma in 2011 but struggled for form and was loaned to AC Milan before returning to the Catalan giants. The one-cap Spain striker then spent last season on loan at Ajax where he scored just five times in 32 appearances. Celebration: Bojan (left) is congratulated by Stephen Ireland after scoring on of his three pre-season goals .

The Gemarah which you quoted above (Yevamos 62b) says after Rabbi Akiva's 24,000 disciples died, the world was desolate until Rabbi Akiva came & taught five new students. Rashi there says the reason for this was because of the Torah which was forgotten by their passing. The Torah is the lifeblood of the Jewish people. It is also the reason the world is continuously in existence. The Torah, at the end of creation (Bereishis Perek 1 Pasuk 31) says יום השישי . Rashi, apparently bothered by the extra "Hay" in the word Shishi brings a Gemarah Shabbos 88a which says the entire six days of creation was waiting for the 6th day of Sivan - the day when thousands of years later the Jews would accept the Torah. Without the Torah the world cannot survive. It is quoted from the Chofetz Chaim (Died 1933), although I don't have a source for you to look it up, that one of the reasons why G-d made different time zones in the world was so that there can always be people studying Torah throughout the day & night. Otherwise the world would cease to exist. This is the reason why we specifically mourn the students of Rabbi Akiva passing away, as a reminder for us how important our learning is for ourselves & the world at large. The above is my own theory, I did not see this quoted somewhere else. I welcome comments on it.

Reporters Without Borders says that the authorities have installed a system to block access to the Tor network - a "hidden" layer of the internet, used to allow anonymous online communications. Users already face up to 15 years in jail if they use Skype or similar internet call services. Addis Ababa said it was only illegal to use Skype "for fraudulent activities". "The Ethiopian government is trying to attack every means of information exchange," Ambroise Pierre from the Reporters Without Borders Africa service told BBC News. "There's already a very strict control over written press, and last year several journalists were arrested, and now the government is tackling communications over the internet. "More and more people in Ethiopia are turning to new technologies, and some are even able to bypass censorship, which explains why the government is trying to use effective methods to control internet communications." But a governement spokesman told the BBC's Anne Waithera in Addis Ababa that Skype was "not illegal" in the country. "Skype is not illegal. What is illegal is using Skype for fraudulent activities such as making unathorised calls," he said. "Some people even come from other countries with their sim cards and operate here illegally. "We need to have regulations, that is standard in all countries. In any business you have to be licensed. "This law is in the public interest and the right of individuals to communicate is protected by our constitution." Al Jazeera recently reported that Ethiopia passed a law on 24 May criminalising the use of VoIP (voice over internet protocol) calls. It said the maximum sentence was 15 years in jail. Other local reports have said that individuals providing such services face sentences of up to eight years, and users could also be imprisoned for using banned social media sites. The BBC could not independently confirm the details. While criminalising such acts may be new, Ethiopia has long restricted internet use. "I used a British internet telephony provider, but [the government eventually] blocked the ports," said Elizabeth Blunt, the BBC's former Ethiopia correspondent who worked in Addis Ababa between 2007 and 2009. She added that there were two reasons for the authorities to prohibit internet communications. "Internet cafes may be allowing people to make calls for far less than the cost of Ethiopia telecom, the state's telecommunications provider that has the monopoly and charges very high prices - and doesn't want to have its service undermined," says Ms Blunt. "But there is also the issue that Skype can't be listened to so easily and can't be controlled." The Internet Society, an international organisation which promotes equal access to the net, also raised concerns. "Placing restrictions such as banning VoIP goes against our belief in an open and unencumbered internet," said its vice president for public policy Markus Kummer. Reporters Without Borders said it was worried the latest effort to block access to Tor might be the first step towards creating a system that would allow the authorities to intercept any email, social network post or VoIP call made in the country. "This is a country where surveillance is very important - due to years of all the conflicts and political rivalry," said Mr Pierre. "The opposition and the media are being listened to, and people usually take care when they talk on the phone. "We've had in the past certain cases of blocking websites of independent and opposition parties, so censorship isn't new - but now it's a new stage, and what Reporters Without Borders is worried about, is that [by criminalising] communications by Skype, the government is implementing a system to have a general policy of internet control."

Wayne Rooney will shortly establish himself as the most-celebrated player in English football history. Against Slovenia next month he is expected to win his 100th cap for England, putting him in prime position to break Peter Shilton’s all-time record of 125 appearances. Sir Bobby Charlton is also in his sights, his goalscoring record for both England and Manchester United also within range. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Wayne Rooney talk ahead of Euro 2016 qualifier vs Estonia . With 98 caps and 42 goals, Wayne Rooney is closing in on England's appearances and goals record . Rooney places a hand round the shoulder of Raheem Sterling in Tallinn ahead of England's game in Estonia . The England captain will hope to lead his side to a third straight win in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign . Peter Shilton (125) David Beckham (115) Steven Gerrard (114) Bobby Moore (108) Ashley Cole (107) Sir Bobby Charlton (106) Frank Lampard (106) Billy Wright (105) Wayne Rooney (98) But in Croxteth, the suburb of Liverpool in which he grew up, it appears he remains what he always was: just another street player ready for a kickabout. The England captain has revealed that on his frequent visits back to Merseyside, he still enjoys a game on the streets where he grew up. In case Louis van Gaal and the Manchester United medical staff start worrying, he insists that it is very low intensity stuff – keepy ups and tricks rather than a full-scale game. Nevertheless, it is a delightful image to imagine, the man who will captain England against Estonia hanging out by a park bench with his mates and knocking a ball around. ‘I’ve always believed myself to be from the streets in terms of football,’ said Rooney. ‘I’ve always played on the streets with friends and still do now and again when I get time, I go and do that. That is where I learnt to play football. There was a lot of help along the way from the academy but the majority of my football was learnt on the streets. Former goalkeeper Peter Shilton (left) has a record 125 caps for England, while Sir Bobby Charlton (106 caps) is the Three Lions' record goalscorer with 49 goals between 1958 and 1970 . David Beckham is England's most capped outfield player on 115 while Bobby Moore (108) is the only Three Lions skipper to lift major silverware in the 1966 World Cup . Sir Bobby Charlton (49) Gary Lineker (48) Jimmy Greaves (44) Wayne Rooney (42) ‘Now and again I go back and see friends where I am from and we have a kick around. Everywhere we go, we sit there and there is a ball. I’m obviously not running around but we stand there and have a kick-around. Nobody is really fussed. I’m back there quite a lot. It’s just keepy-ups and messing around.’ Given England’s start to their qualifying it seems certain Rooney will be captaining England into Euro 2016 and probably the World Cup in Russia, 2018. By that time the significant England records should have been broken by him: Shilton’s 125 caps and Charlton’s 49 goals. ‘I couldn’t imagined that when I made my first appearance for England,’ said Rooney. ‘At that age you don’t look beyond the next game. You are lucky and it is a privilege to play for England in the games that I’ve clocked up. It’s there now, two more games. I’ve always said that I don’t want to stop playing for England after I get 100 caps, I want to get many more after that and try to do my best for the team. Frank Lampard picked up his 107th and last England cap as skipper against Costa Rica at the World Cup . Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole have also recently joined the 100 club for England but since retired . Billy Wright was the first England player to reach 100 caps featuring between 1946 and 1959 . ‘I used to love watching England. I remember the 1998 World Cup and the stand-out moment was Michael Owen and what he did. That is when I really started watching England closely, then at Everton everything happened so quickly for me in terms of the progressing through the youth team and then the first team, then within six months into the England set-up. It is always a dream playing for England and thankfully I’ve done it many times. ‘It’s an honour to play for England, which I’ve said many times. Everyone has seen the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole in recent times pass the 100-cap mark and hopefully I play in the next two games and I can do that. It will be a proud moment for me.’ Wayne Rooney made his England debut as a substitute in a 3-1 defeat by Australia at Upton Park in 2003 . Rooney’s first appearance came in controversial circumstances, a 3-1 defeat against Australia in 2003 at Upton Park in which Sven Goran Eriksson was heavily criticised for substituting the entire team at half. At least Eriksson got something right: Rooney was one of the second-half substitutes. ‘It was a bit strange,’ said Rooney. ‘Australia at West Ham and we lost 3-1. It was a complete change at half-time. I came on. It was great as me and Franny Jeffers played the second half up front together. We were from the same area and same school and had a few coaches coming up from the school taking the kids to watch. I’d only just left school as well. It was a great day.’ Eleven and a half years on, the century looms and then at least another two years of games. Suddenly Shilton’s record of 125 caps seems well within range. ‘I believe so,’ said Rooney. ‘I think it’s 16 or 17 games before the Euros start so I obviously won’t be too far away then and then I have at least another two years after that. I’m happy if they all fit in. There is no reason to think about stop playing.’

There are a couple moments in "Where Mountains Pierce the Sky" — after nine minutes of acoustic guitar, fiddle and Native American flute, what could conceivably be called a black metal riff with a pop-punk bounce and flurry of twin lead guitars — that clue you into Roads to the North's M.O. (As if the first nine minutes weren't enough.) First, the key-change climax, which may not seem like much, but this tectonic shift is the sound of a mountain piercing the damn sky. Then there's the chugga-chugga breakdown, the enemy of all that is grim. Those lines blur more often these days, but late '90s-style hardcore (think Earth Crisis, Shai Hulud) and black metal are still infrequent bedfellows, so to have a pulling-up-change move come out of a blast beat is a trip. Panopticon's sole member, Austin Lunn, always works best from his own life experience: loss (On the Subject of Mortality), the social justice system (Social Disservices), and unions (Kentucky), to sum up these very different LPs all too briefly. With Roads to the North, Lunn has a lot to celebrate: the birth of a child, and a career-making sojourn through Norway that begat a move from Kentucky to Minnesota to make — wait for it — craft beer. Those triumphs inform Roads, but not without hardship. It's difficult to discern without a lyric sheet, but the three-part "Long Road" feels the like heart of the record, starting with a bittersweet farewell to Kentucky bluegrass-style ("One Last Fire"), raging through crusty black metal-cum-prog ("Capricious Miles") and ending with the appropriately titled "The Sigh of Summer," its Rodan-like cadence sounding like a nod to his time in Louisville. There's a weight and texture given to this triptych, building on melodies that feel lived in, desperate for more. It doesn't hurt that Colin Marston (Krallice, Dysrythmia) engineered and produced, ever with an ear for tuneful arranging and making unexpected sounds come alive. Members of When Bitter Spring Sleeps, Waldgeflüster, Altar of Plagues and Obsequiae all make important contributions here, but Road to the North — as all Panopticon albums — lies solely in the realm of Austin Lunn. This is a triumphant, ebullient metal record that steps outside Panopticon's curveball mixture of American folk and metal (black- and melodic death-metal, in particular) but also makes a space to rein everything in.

About six months after his appointment, he became the informal Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington. Two months later he fell ill, and he spent over a month in recovery at the Augusta National Golf Club. He returned to his post in New York in mid-May, and in July 1949 took a two-month vacation out-of-state. Because the American Assembly had begun to take shape, he traveled around the country during mid-to-late 1950, building financial support from Columbia Associates, an alumni association.

Until now, filming underwater has required teams of divers and expensive underwater camera rigs - but a new iPad-controlled robot does the lot itself. The battery-powered Aquabotix Hydroview shoots in Full HD and swims independently, letting users see through its eyes with an app that works on iPads, smartphones and Windows laptops. The $4,000 machine comes with a 75-foot cable and battery pack that lets it 'swim' for three hours - its makers suggest the tiny submarine could be used to find lost keys underwater, or for underwater documentaries. Scroll down for video . The Aquabotix Hydroview shoots in Full HD and swims independently, letting users see through its eyes with an app that works on iPads, smartphones and Windows laptops . Complete with on-board LED lights for underwater, the HydroView travels at up to five knots forward and one knot in reverse while shooting video or capturing still images at depths up to 150 feet down. It can also capture information on water conditions. The Hydroview costs $4,000 - more prosaically, you can also 'explore the depths' with a camera mounted on a boat hook for just $475. The HydroView communicates wirelessly from the user’s handheld device to the HydroView’s top-side box, which is in-turn connected to the submersible via a cable tether. Tthe HydroView measures just 14.6x19x7 inches and weighs nine pounds - and the finished model shoots in Full HD, although the early demo video below is in lower definition. ‘Every kid dreams of exploring the oceans . but few of us truly experience life under the sea. Now, with the . HydroView, if you can operate an iPad you can ply the depths like . Jacques Cousteau,’ said Durval Tavares,CEO of Aquabotix. ‘Whether you are a charter boat owner looking to entertain your guests, a commercial captain looking to confirm vessel conditions below the waterline or a first responder looking for a quick and safe way to survey a submerged scene, the HydroView delivers a safe and dry, up-close experience with the underwater world.’

A great crystal for spiritual issues is Amethyst. Amethyst carries a high vibration that offers spiritual protection and purification. These two qualities alone would be helpful in the situation you've described. Acting as a barrier against lower vibrational frequencies, Amethyst is known to clear one's environment of all types of negative energies, and is a great aid for all those on a spiritual journey.

AbstractDispersion-hardened alloys have secondary creep rates which show a transition from a low to a high stress dependence at a particular value of applied stress, σp. This transition stress occurs at the crossover in controlling creep mechanisms and therefore defines a lower limit for extrapolation of creep rates from high stresses. Previous methods of identifying σp for a particular system have involved creep testing or electron metallography. The work described in this paper proposes that σp may be measured by a simple stress-relaxation test. A method is evaluated and two steels, 20%Cr-25%Ni-Nb and nitrided 20%Cr-25%Ni-Ti, with previously characterized σp values are used to test the model. The agreement between σp values from relaxation tests and creep tests is good. It is concluded that the results indicate the validity of the stress-relaxation technique and show how such a short-term mechanical test obviates the need for protracted creep testing or electron metallography.

Throngs of young girls and other fans of the U.S. women’s soccer team filled lower Manhattan Friday morning for a ticker-tape parade celebrating its Women’s World Cup victory. The parade-goers – many wearing red, white and blue – started gathering at 3:30 a.m. along the Canyon of Heroes, a stretch of Broadway where the nation’s largest city has honored its legends. When the parade got underway at 11 a.m., the crowd was five deep or more along the route. Some chanted, “USA! USA!” “I’m glad to see girls getting a parade,” said 9-year-old Christinah Delesine, who wore a blue soccer shirt. “There should be more.” John Comer watched the festivities with his young son and two daughters. “I think it’s important the girls have role models,” he said. “It’s a chance to see women celebrated for doing something positive.” All 23 players from the team – none of whom are from New York City, though four hail from nearby New Jersey – will ride on four of 12 floats. One of the floats will carry the World Cup trophy, along with tournament’s most valuable player, Carli Lloyd, and Mayor Bill de Blasio. The celebration will also feature marching bands and be hosted by broadcaster Robin Roberts and former soccer star Heather Mitts. At its conclusion, the team will be honored by de Blasio in front of a crowd of 3,500 people at City Hall Plaza. The southern end of Broadway is the traditional spot for New York City ticker-tape parades. Most of the route is lined with tall office buildings on both sides, allowing workers to toss bits of paper onto the celebrants below. The United States has returned to the top of the FIFA women’s rankings after winning the World Cup.

A £25billion rival to the Panama Canal could be built across Nicaragua – funded entirely by the Chinese. The hugely ambitious engineering project would give China control of a vital waterway to challenge the one completed by the US in Panama nearly 100 years ago. Legislation paving the way for a new canal was given the go-ahead by Nicaraguan politicians on Monday night and is expected to be approved by the National Assembly tomorrow. A concession to build a canal across Nicaragua linking the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, likely to go through the waters of Lake Nicaragua, are expected to be awarded to a Chinese company . Five of the six proposed routes for the new canal pass through the giant Lake Nicaragua . The canal would cross the Central . American country – one of the poorest in the region – from the Caribbean . coast in the east to the Pacific coast in the west. It would thus compete directly with . the 48-mile Panama Canal  further south which gives ships a fast route . between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. About 130 miles of waterway would . have to be dug, and 40,000 construction jobs could be created over the . 11 years estimated for completion, according to the project’s . supporters. When finished, they believe it could . capture 4.5 per cent of world maritime freight traffic and double . Nicaragua’s per capita gross domestic product. A China-based consortium would . finance the construction in return for a majority share in earnings from . the potentially lucrative new shipping route. Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua’s socialist president, is backing the waterway enthusiastically. But many outside observers and Ortega . opponents point out that nearly every key detail remains a mystery, . from the exact sources of the funding to Nicaragua’s share of the . profits and the precise route. Critics have also been asking whether . Central America needs two canals, even in an age of growing world . trade. Panama’s is already being expanded to take bigger ships. Feasibility studies have indicated . six potential routes across Nicaragua, many connecting with Lake . Nicaragua in the west, but the legislation does not indicate which one . would be dug. The government plans to grant the . Chinese HK Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Co Ltd a concession . for an initial 50 years, with the possibility of extending it another . 50. Construction of a Nicaraguan canal . would mark the end of a saga dating back to the 19th century when US . shipping and railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt won the right to . build a waterway across the country but gave up amid political turmoil. Rival: A Panamax container ship moves through the Panama Canal on its way to the Atlantic Ocean . Other US interests then studied . building a canal in Nicaragua before settling on Panama where an attempt . by the French to build a canal had ended in failure. The US took over . and completed the job in 1914. The canal was owned by the US until 1999 when it was handed over to the Panamanian government. A second waterway linking the Atlantic with the Pacific has long been in the planning, however. The steady increase in shipping since the opening of the Panama Canal means there is plenty of financial incentive. And with the emergence of China as a . resource-hungry economic superpower, the route is now  more likely than . ever to become  a reality. The construction of canal locks and gates for the Panama Canal. Panama, in 1913 . French workers using a U.S.-made Sleven dredging machine to dig near Empire, Panama, during the early construction of the Panama Canal . Jaime Incer, an environmentalist and . adviser to the presidency on environmental issues, said authorities . should be defining a specific route for the canal before approving a . concession. 'There are at . least six proposed routes and five of them include Lake Nicaragua, but . there is nothing definite, that's all part of the unknown,' he said. Deputy . Foreign Minister Manuel Coronel, who is chairman of the country's Grand . Canal Authority, said Monday that he had no doubt the Chinese company . would carry out the project. When the 48-mile long Panama Canal was finally finished in 1914 it was described as the 'eighth wonder of the world' and observers said it would have an impact akin to 'shifting the nations on a map'. The international waterway allowed ships to pass between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, . saving about 8,000 miles from a journey around the southern . tip of South America, Cape Horn. The canal makes the trip from the east coast to the west coast of the U.S. much shorter than the route taken around the tip of South America prior to 1914. Though traffic continues to increase through the canal, many oil supertankers and military battleships and aircraft carriers can not fit through the canal. There's even a class of ships known as Panamax, those built to the maximum capacity of the Panama canal and its locks. It takes approximately fifteen hours to traverse the canal through its three sets of locks (about half the time is spent waiting due to traffic). Ships passing through the canal from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean actually move from the northwest to the southeast, due to the east-west orientation of the Isthmus of Panama. 'It's . a very serious company, very responsible and recognized,' Coronel said. 'To doubt (the company) is to oppose the project for political rather . than realistic issues.' The . Hong Kong-registered company has said that it is willing to fully study . the technological, economic, environmental and social impact of the . project. 'This is a great . project that has the potential to transform international trade and . bring significant economic and social benefits to Nicaragua, their . neighbors and Latin America,' company spokesman Ronald Maclean-Abaroa . said Monday on the group's website. Under the deal, the Chinese company would pay Nicaragua $10million annually during the first decade, then pay it a share of canal revenues - an amount that would begin at 1 per cent and rise to an unspecified percentage over the life of the concession. After completing the concession, the Chinese company would have to turn over to Nicaragua all buildings and other canal infrastructure. Jose Aguerri, who heads an association of Nicaraguan chambers of commerce, said the lack of details released about the project would slow investment. 'Until you define the path that the canal will have, it will be difficult to attract investment to the area because there is no legal certainty,' Aguirre said after meeting with committee members. Another Hong Kong-based company has been operating port facilities on both ends of the Panama Canal. The Nicaraguan canal's construction would mark the end of a long push that began at least as far back as the 19th century when U.S. industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt won the right to build a waterway across the country but gave up amid political turmoil. Other U.S. interests then studied building a canal in Nicaragua before settling on Panama as the crossing point. Panama is nearing the end of a seven-year, $5.2billion expansion project to allow bigger ships to use its waterway. That project is scheduled to be finished next year.

I really do like these cord management kits. I'm not sure how, but the white color of this product seems to match with a variety of white wall colors much better than some of the other similar products I've had in the past. I have two different tones of white in my current apartment and these organizers are discrete in both of those rooms and don't stick out when placed near other types of white furniture. My only complaint is about the size. Unfortunately, they are so small that they can't hold more than 2 extension cords without bulging. If you are trying to manage a rats nest of cords that will all need to be threaded through the same organizer, this is probably not the product for you. I've solved this issue by purchasing power strips with more outlets so that I don't need multiple cords running along the same wall. I haven't used the sticky back since I am renting my apartment and I'm concerned about taking off paint. Instead, I will be attaching these to the wall with command strips. Since they're smaller than some of the other organizers I own, I'm confident that command strips will be able to secure them properly. I've purchased a second pack and I'll post a picture once all my wires are mounted properly.

I’ve also heard that you read differently when it’s on a screen. I was listening to a podcast and they referenced a study, (I can’t remember the group who did it)about reading in print vs. a screen. They found that when you read on a screen you are more likely to skim the article for the information needed. In a printed format you are more than likely to read the information more closely and read more of the article.

Selenium (Se) was determined in human milk from women residing in Niamey (Niger) at different periods of lactation. To this purpose, a rapid electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric (EAAS) method using Zeeman background correction and palladium matrix modifier was developed. Linear range (10 nmol/L-6.25 mumol/L, 0.8-494 micrograms/L), within-run (7.6%), between-run (10.4%), precision and recovery of standard addition (101 +/- 7%) were sufficient to allow routine determination of Se in breast milk. Values of breast milk Se decreased from 5 days to 6 months postpartum. No significant correlation was found between the milk Se and any of the following parameters: mother serum Se, parity, age of the mother, age of the previous child. In mother serum, Se concentration increased from delivery to 3 months postpartum and remained stable afterwards. The Se concentrations found in breast milk and in mother serum suggest that Se status is adequate in Niger.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Environmentalists are protesting Poland’s plan to allow hunters to shoot bison, while authorities say it is necessary for the well-being of the herd and will earn money for its upkeep. Greenpeace had gathered well over 7,000 signatures by Monday afternoon on a letter asking Prime Minister Beata Szydlo to stop the plan. They say Europe’s largest mammals, which live in old-growth forests in northeastern Poland, are protected by law and a symbol of Poland’s nature. Environment authorities have allowed the hunting of 10 bison in the Borecka forest, saying the herd there is too large and threatened with tuberculosis. They say limited hunting allows for a controlled elimination of weak animals, while earning funds to support the others.

"Using horse-driven carriages only for joyrides solely for human pleasure is an avoidable activity," the order said. The court agreed with animal rights groups that the practice was cruel. Reports say that around 700 families depend on Victoria carriages for their livelihood. Monday's court order came on a petition filed by animals rights groups which said the horses were often malnourished, denied adequate rest and care. The Bombay high court in the city of Mumbai ordered that all stables where these horses are kept must be closed down and directed the authorities to come up with a scheme to rehabilitate those involved in the trade. Styled on open carriages used during Queen Victoria's times, these horse-drawn carriages have been seen on Mumbai's streets since British times and a ride on them has been one of Mumbai's most-popular tourist attractions for decades. The drivers of these carriages say that "Victorias are a key part of Mumbai's cultural image" and some of them say they are sceptical about the government's rehabilitation plans. Usmaan, who is 60, has been working with a horse-drawn carriage since he was 12, says it is going to be difficult for him to adapt to a new job and that he feels like his "hands have been cut off". The court has also ordered that all horses should be rehabilitated at a care centre. "The government shall also formulate a rehabilitation scheme for the horses. If any reputed animal welfare organisation comes forward to take care of these horses, then the state government is free to consider the same" the Hindustan Times quotes the court as saying.

List of Roseanne characters Jackie is an intelligent, warm, highly sensitive underachiever with chronic low self-esteem. Roseanne seems to be in charge of Jackie's life, which is a frequent cause of conflict between the two; however, Jackie sometimes enjoys having Roseanne mother her, especially when Jackie feels vulnerable. Jackie's character seems to become more animated and colorful as the series progresses.[19] Jackie holds numerous jobs: working in the Wellman Plastics factory for several years until the walkout, then becoming a police officer until she is injured on the job, and later a truck driver, then opening the Lanford Lunch Box with Roseanne and Nancy (her mother is a silent partner).[20][21] Jackie often comes up with seemingly off-the-wall "crazy" ideas, but it turns out that many of her unconventional ideas actually work. Her romantic relationships are frequently unstable, including one where she dates a man named Fisher and becomes the victim of domestic violence. However, she eventually marries Dan's co-worker Fred, who impregnated her during a one-night stand. Jackie gives birth to their son, Andy, two months before she marries Fred.

He can, he just chooses not to. Animals have a weird sense of boundaries. For instance, [these dogs](_URL_0_) know there is *supposed* to be a door there. So even if they see someone or something else go through it, it doesn't make sense to them...they know that they can't go through a screen door. Wildlife has trouble dealing with [barriers](_URL_1_) too. If an animal perceives that a barrier should exist, they won't cross it. Why? Because they've learned that 1) it might hurt (like the electric fence that used to mark the borders during the Cold War, and 2) they "know" they can't. To them, it seems like you might as well be asking them to fly.

The only free vinyl cutting software that I know of right now is Inkcut for Inkskcape. Other than that one there isn't a free solution out there. Your best bet for the price could be VinylMaster Cut but I have never used it. I would recommend Flexistarter which is a lighter version than Flexi but that isn't free nor a plugin for illustrator. I wouldn't skimp on the software personally but thats just me. There are some other great ones you might like such as: Omega Casmate SignLab Most of the ones I listed you can source used for on Ebay for the dongles that plug into the back of your computer. If you're pressed to find one for Illustrator the only one I've used and recommend is the one by Onyx. There is Roland Cutstudio plugin for Illustrator but I have never used it but you might consider it. Also, have you checked Roland's site to make sure this isnt any software or drivers that would work??

My husband went to a Seventh Day Adventist boarding school back in the 40s and of course, Choplets were on the menu. We are not vegetarians but love them as a breakfast side instead of meat or on a bun for lunch. I dredge them in Vigo Italiam Bread Crumbs and lightly fry in a bit of oil. Up until about a year ago we could, at times, buy them at two grocery stores here in Tampa, Fl. I had never used Amazon before but a friend suggested I look on this site. What a pleasant surprise to not only find Choplets but find them at about 2/3 the grocery store prices. Even better, shipping was free. I have made two other purchases since late Dec. and am looking forward to shopping Amazon for hard to find items in the future.

Renault is gearing up to update two of its models – the Twingo and the Clio. We’ve already spotted the Twingo out testing with a facelifted appearance. Now, we have more images of the Clio running about covered in camouflage. This will be the fifth generation for the Clio hatch. It’s still hard to pick out any new design details as the car is heavily covered in both camo and fake body panels – to confuse rival onlookers. The shape is familiar with new headlights and taillights discernable. The new car is said to be influenced by Renault Symbioz Concept with the interior being home by a dominate digital screen. While the new design is good – the current-gen Clio entered the market in 2012 – the bigger news is about all the rumored tech that’ll be available in the vehicle. Basic self-driving technology such as Level 1 autonomous functionality – maybe even Level 2 hands-off capability – is expected. But that’s not all. A fully electric version is coming, or so says the rumors. These are features not often found in the Clio’s market, which includes the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. That kind of technology will undoubtedly help the Clio feel new and fresh against its competitors. The fully electric powertrain would be just one of several possible powertrains available. Currently, there are several four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines available in the car. There’s even a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill that gets the Clio to 60 mph in under seven seconds. It’s unlikely Renault would entirely overhaul every single engine offered, so expect at least a few of the current engine options to carry over to the fifth generation. As we get closer to the Paris Motor Show in September, expect to see more and more of the Clio with less and less camouflage. Source: CarPix

Selena Gomez has ignored all beef and attention she sparked after being spotted in a massive PDA with singer, The Weeknd who was her friend’s sister, Gigi Hadid’s ex-boyfriend. Following the earlier release of the Justin Bieber’s ex and ‘Starboy’ singer’s kissing photos, Wendy Williams had slammed the duo calling Selena Gomez one of the worst artistes and shading The Weekend over his new album. However, the couple don’t seem to mind the attention as they were spotted in another massive PDA on an expensive yacht. TMZ reported that renting the yacht costs about $85,000 and the lovers were seen on it kissing ahead of The Weeknd’s birthday which isn’t until February 16. Selena Gomez is reported to have selected a $30,000 birthday bash for the star at the Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood to celebrate his day. Guest list for the event includes A$AP Rocky, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Migos, Quavo, and Bryson Tiller.

By . Emma Innes . PUBLISHED: . 06:37 EST, 29 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 08:49 EST, 29 March 2013 . It is said that they have more time on their hands than most doctors. And one anaesthetist has certainly put his quiet hours to good use. Peter Morris, an anaesthetist at Castle Hill Hospital, in east Yorkshire, has managed to write a novel while his patients were unconscious. Bound with New Ropes, a 480-page love story, follows the tale of a university lecturer who falls for one of his students. Anaesthetist Peter Morris wrote the novel while his patients were unconscious . It tracks his downfall as he is eventually found guilty of harassing her. That the author, who is a staff grade anaesthetist, according to The Independent, uses the ‘Acknowledgements’ page to explain how he had time to write the book, according . Dr Morris writes: ‘Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust kindly paid me to write it while simultaneously giving anaesthetics. 'Many of their tardy surgeons unwittingly helped by making simple operations last for hours.’ Anaesthetists are required to send patients to sleep and then to monitor their vital signs while the operation is being carried out. However, they are reputed to have more time on their hands than the surgeons themselves. Consequently, many are said to be very well read and excel in puzzles such as Suduko. The anaesthetist says it was possible to write the book because 'tardy surgeons' made 'simple operations last for hours' (posed by model) On the first page of Dr Morris’ novel, which is self-published and for sale for £10, he writes: ‘She wore a plain black skirt, a white blouse with a slightly lacy collar and an open pale blue cardigan with its sleeves pulled back a little. ‘Although her behaviour was not forward, I sensed in her unstilted conduct some wish to engage with me. ‘Her navy nylon jacket slid off her shoulder-bag onto the cold flag-stones. We both stooped to pick it up and our heads almost collided.’ The novel, which is described on Amazon as exposing 'the modern ropes of duplicity and fake virtue' is currently placed at 370,777 in the best-seller ranking. On a grey blustery December afternoon, I sat marking essays in my study in Elgan College. It was dull stuff and gradually, as twilight fell, recurrent distractions stole into my thoughts. For instance, out of the blue I found myself puzzling over girls who had tried to dominate me and who – had I allowed it – would then have despised me. I sipped tea from a patterned blue and lilac glazed mug, twirled round and stared out through the long floor-length window. Dusk had engulfed the roof-tops of the town, but down in Noonham Gardens, where some cast-iron street lamps flickered, I glimpsed Deana Sleight strutting home, perhaps in an irritable mood. Back in the spring I had taken her out, not out of love but out of emotional loneliness or lust, for if sullen and sour she had a sexy inciting shape. Deana was the secretary in the Archaeology Department and at twenty-nine, three years older than myself. Beneath her loosely gathered dark hair and her glinting thick-length belted black leather jacket, I could dimly make out the hem of her pleated tartan skirt, her black tights and her glistening black high-heeled leather boots. Again the paradox had been that despite bullying me, deep down she had wanted to be mastered. I watched her provocative hour-glass outline swaying along beside a set of iron railings until it receded through a soot-blackened archway.

These sets of words are called homophones (or sometimes homonyms), and they can cause a lot of trouble for spellers. What Are Homophones? Homophones are two or more words that sound alike but that are spelled differently and have different meanings. Here are a few homophone pairs: deer and dear, billed and build, and sew, so, and sow. Homophones occur in English because there are multiple ways to spell the same sound. For example: The sound of /n/ can be spelled with the letter N or the letter combination KN, resulting in the homophones night and knight. The sound of /ā/ can be spelled A-consonant-E or AY (among other possible spellings), giving us daze and days.

Why do you hate it? Is it something that makes your life unbearable? Stick it out, at least until the end of the season. Then decide from there what direction you would like to go. Quitting just because the practices are too hard or you would just rather hang out with your riends are not really valid reasons. If you do quit, find something else that you would enjoy doing, like baseball or volleyball. Sports teach you alot of things other than just how to play a sport.

(AP Photo/Tony Dejak) ORG XMIT: OHTD122 CLEVELAND – The Dodgers and Cleveland Indians have the best bullpens in baseball by most statistical measures. You wouldn’t know it from this series. One night after the Indians’ bullpen gave up five runs in the final two innings, the Dodgers’ bullpen let a two-run lead slip away only to have Indians reliever Andrew Miller surrender a tie-breaking home run for the second consecutive game. The Dodgers scored four times in the eighth inning against Miller and hung on for a 6-4 victory over the Indians, extending their winning streak to six games – their second six-game winning streak in the past three weeks. “I think that’s the beautiful thing about baseball. That’s why we play,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I wouldn’t have guessed it. I don’t think Tito (Indians manager Terry Francona) on the other side would have guessed it. “I was actually looking forward to the battle of the ’pens coming into this series.” Instead, it has been a battle for the ’pens. The Indians and Dodgers came into the series with the two lowest bullpen ERAs in baseball. But those have taken a beating. Fifteen of the 22 runs scored in this series have been charged to relievers. “That’s awesome,” Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy said of the nine runs the Dodgers have scored in the eighth and ninth innings the past two nights. “Coming into this series, you hope it’s not close late when Andrew Miller is coming into the game. Somehow we’ve made it work for us.” That work has started in the same place each night – with Miller on the mound in the eighth inning of a 2-2 tie. Miller gave up a home run for the first time this season when Cody Bellinger broke Tuesday’s tie. This time, Hernandez came off the bench and did the same on a 1-and-2 fastball from Miller to give the Dodgers the lead. “He’s a guy with really good stuff so you kind of have to go to your two-strike approach from the start,” Hernandez said. “I took two sliders inside that I thought were balls and got to two strikes. So I was basically in battle mode. I was looking slider and he threw me fastball so I took an emergency swing.” It wasn’t as much of an emergency as it might have been. Hernandez said an at-bat against Miller in the World Baseball Classic made the 6-foot-7 lefty with a slinging delivery less of an unknown Wednesday. Things only got worse for Miller. An infield single and two walks loaded the bases and second baseman Erik Gonzalez opened the gates to more. An easy inning-ending double play was overturned because Gonzalez made the turn from somewhere near Akron. That allowed a run to score. Two more came in on a Chris Taylor single. One of the best relievers in baseball, Miller gave up just one earned run in his first 31 2/3 innings this season (an 0.29 ERA). The Dodgers have scored five on him in two nights. “If you look at our lineup, I think we have a pretty good one,” Hernandez said. “I know they’ve got a pretty good bullpen. But they’ve still got to execute pitches against us. “And if you’re talking about good bullpens, I’m not going to take any over our own.” Wednesday wasn’t the best support for that statement. Josh Fields gave up a game-tying home run to Jose Ramirez in the seventh – the fourth home run he has allowed in the past 17 batters he has faced after allowing just one to the first 83. And Gonzalez’s mistake proved very costly for the Indians when they scored twice in the bottom of the eighth against Luis Avilan and Pedro Baez. Kenley Jansen finally upheld his bullpen’s honor when a drama-free ninth to close it out.

Darkside (Nicolas Jaar & Dave Harrington) is an exceptionally talented and unique duo. About a year ago I was lucky enough to see them at an intimate Brooklyn venue that no longer exists (RIP Glasslands). You'll have trouble finding another band quite like them, though it's probably fair to say they exhibit traits of trip-hop, electronica, downtempo, and maybe deep house. As for venues that might cater to this "genre", try: Le Poisson Rouge or NUBLU. Though you'll probably be better off identifying an act that interests you (try Resident Advisor) and then following that act to whatever venue they're playing at. Lucky for you, you live in NYC. You have many options.

Background ::: The advent of personalized medicine requires robust, reproducible biomarkers that indicate which treatment will maximize therapeutic benefit while minimizing side effects and costs. Numerous molecular signatures have been developed over the past decade to fill this need, but their validation and up-take into clinical settings has been poor. Here, we investigate the technical reasons underlying reported failures in biomarker validation for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

By . Nick Purewal, Press Association Sport . Kevin Nolan could miss six weeks with a fractured shoulder, West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed. Nolan damaged his shoulder in training on Thursday, missing the Hammers' 3-1 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday. Manager Allardyce admitted the Hammers will miss captain Nolan's influence, but backed 'the best and strongest squad I've put together at the club' to handle his absence. VIDEO Scroll down to see Sam Allardyce: Quality of finishing was excellent against Palace . Sidelined: Kevin Nolan is set to miss the next six weeks with a fractured shoulder . Strength in depth: But Sam Allardyce has backed 'best and strongest squad' to cope in his absence . 'Kevin fractured his shoulder and that's a massive blow to us, along with all the other players we've got injured,' said Allardyce. 'He will be out for probably six weeks I would think. 'It isn't a dislocated shoulder, it's a fractured shoulder, but I don't know just how long that will keep Kevin out. 'We dealt with it brilliantly at Palace and let's hope we can continue to do that. 'It didn't affect us at Palace and maybe that's a sign there's more to come.' Debutant: Mauro Zarate volleyed a debut goal to give West Ham the opener against Crystal Palace . Poacher: And Carlton Cole grabbed a third after Stewart Downing scored to round off a 3-1 win . Mauro Zarate's volleyed debut goal set West Ham en route to victory at Selhurst Park, with Stewart Downing and Carlton Cole also on target. West Ham were missing Matt Jarvis, Andy Carroll, Carl Jenkinson and James Collins at Palace, as well as Nolan. Allardyce believes the comfortable victory indicates his squad's strength in depth. 'We were missing five players who play a big part in our squad, so to win the game comfortably with as many injuries as that was extremely pleasing. 'So perhaps this might be the best and strongest squad I've put together at the club - I hope it is.'
