{ "original": "Christian Students United recently had Stories week in order to find fellow Christians in Camas High School, and keep them connected with each other. Dubbed Stories Week by Madi, and Lexi Murray. Stories Week went from May 1st-5th and was the promotion to get people going to CSU Club.\nMonday, May 1st: Merged with YL up at Camp Currie. Campfire week, where s’mores and other yummy campfire snacks were enjoyed.\nTuesday, May 2nd: RootBeer Floats in the North Commons at 2:10\nWednesday, May 3rd: Girls and Guys night: Each gender did their own group activity at Camas 6:30-8:30.\nThursday, May 4th: Stories Night at CHS 6:30-7:30. This was the serious night, that the whole Stories Week was anchored around.\nFriday, May 5th: Celebration Night: Games were played at Harvest Church in Camas Washington up by Dorothy Fox.\nAs well as this, they had several guest speakers from Gateway Church in Washougal and Harvest Church in Camas.\nIf you missed Stories week but still want to be a part of CSU then feel free to come on a weekly basis Monday in room 703 right after school for about an hour. Lexi Murray leads it alongside Savannah Colletto and Christian Rondeau. Lexi says she loves to lead CSU because she loves to see “people mature and grow in their relationship with Christ, and leading a group that is so kind and positive. We love helping out the community and making sure that others know they matter.”\nIf a relationship with other believers in Christ is something that you aspire to have, then CSU might be the club for you, there are about 20 boys and girls that participate, and they would love to welcome new in. Like all other Camas Clubs, CSU is a great way to be more connected to the people who are likeminded, and it is a great way to stay busy after school." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999815, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "Wednesday morning up early as usual, free continental breakfast at the hotel, take a whiff of that good fresh air of Dalhart, Texas (there are several dairy farms in the area, for those of you who know what that smells like ... some say it's the smell of money) and back on the road by 7:45am. By now, I'm in road-mode, but I do stop a few times on the way for a break and more pictures.\nThe first stop is Plainview, where I visit with Barry Hurt, retiring band director of Plainview High School. He gives me the million dollar tour of their wonderful facilities there. They have an excellent program with over 350 band students in this small farming community. Their system runs like a well-oiled machine, and I certainly congratulate them on their success.\nNext is a brief stop in Lubbock. I go by Texas Tech University, but get there just at noon, so Bill Ballenger, Dean of the School of Music, and Lisa Rogers, Percussion Faculty are gone, so I leave greeting notes. Bill came to the University of Nebraska to be the marching band director the year after I stopped instructing the drumline. I didn't actually work with him, but I respect the work he did there and later at Oklahoma State University. Lunch at a Mexican restaurant I stumble across, then it's more miles to cover.\nAfter all this time (this is by far the longest I have been away from my wife and kids), it feels like I'm almost there as I pass through the familiar landscapes of Texas ... the wind farms on the bluffs between Lubbock and Snyder, Abilene (people there don't treat you mean) and finally the last turn-off to Stephenville.\nBut the best sight of all is the front porch of our house, as I pull in to the driveway 5 minutes ahead of my family coming in from Ft. Worth.\nWell, at this point, the recording is done, most of the editing is done, but there still remains some work to be accomplished before the CD will be available to buy. The trail has ended for now, so I won't be posting as often, but as work progresses on the project, I'll keep you posted. I'm also going to get some more pictures of my travels up here as I can, so check back every once in a while ... as Jed Clampett would say, \"Y'all come back now, y'hear?\"" }	{ "base": null, "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999816, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "Just returned from a wonderful weekend visiting the Quai Des Bulles comics festival in St. Malo, the amazing pirate town on the northern Brittany coast. I went with Jo and Freya and returned with our bags full of comic albums and our heads full of inspiration. I am always amazed by the huge variety and quality of the French comics scene where every subject is aired, from epic fantasy and sci-fi to kitchen sink drama, and even eye-popping bedtime stories. So unlike American superheros that seem to dominate the UK to exclusion of almost everything else. I am also struck by the wide variety of readers who include the whole family from children up to grandparents. Apparently a half of all books sold in France are graphic novels. My only problem is that I can’t read French so have to make do with the drawings alone which is no bad thing. Viva la bande dessinée!

{ "original": "The Beatles intended to begin the recording of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds during this session. Rehearsals took so long, however, that no proper takes were recorded.\nThe session lasted eight hours and, although the night's progress was recorded, most of it was later erased.\nPresent in the studio on this evening was a reporter from Life magazine. In the subsequent report, George Martin was quoted as saying: \"We are light years away from anything tonight... They know it is awful now, and they're trying to straighten it out. It may be a week before they're pleased, if ever.\"\nThe Beatles began recording Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds on the following day, 1 March 1967.\nThe session to record music for the newest Beatle album was planned for seven this night in the EMI Studios in London, but the boys are late. Suddenly at eight the room crackles to life. Paul McCartney comes in singing a nonsense tune and John Lennon trails him. Ringo Starr appears shortly and George Harrison is last. [...]\nNow the recording session begins, so casually that it seems no beginning at all. Paul sits down at the piano and begins chording. (I wished for a tape recorder because the impromptu musicale was marvellous.) John, meanwhile, spots a volume of E.E.Cummings poetry lying on the piano and begins to read it. Ringo, hungry or maybe mearly disinterested, goes to a corner and starts wolfing down a plate of mashed potatoes and beans which an aid has produced. George is showing off a large black frock coat, which he purchased at an antique clothing shop in Chelsea. “I’d rather imagine some head waiter at the Savoy didn’t want it any more,” he says.\nA tall, lean young man in a quiet gray suit and modest tie hovers at the piano. This is George Martin, producer and arranger of the Beatles music. He is a recognised musical scholar and the off-stage presence who has come to be called the Fifth Beatle. Paul and John explain to him that they have spent this day writing a song which they want to record tonight. “Alright, let’s hear it,” he says. Paul pounds out a strong assortment of chords and John sings, falsetto, the melody which is to be called “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” They go through it half a dozen times while Martin nods, quickly familiarising himself with the composition and making notes.\nAt this embryonic stage the song sounds like the early Beatle works which dealt in jack-hammer 4-4 arrangements and lyrics which were seldom more eloquent than, “yeh, yeh, yeh”, but before they were done with it on this long evening and on many more, it will undergo extraordinary changes. “Picture yourself in a boat on the river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies,” sings John over and over again, while George Harrison begins finding a guitar accompaniment and Ringo, sipping an orange drink, slaps out a rhythm. I begin to understand the remarkable process of the Beatles music. It begins absolutely from scratch. The Beatles (who can neither read nor write music) are composing even as they record...\nIt is now almost midnight in the recording studio and after four hours of assault, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” still sounds quite terrible. Fifth Beatle Martin grimaces. “We are light years away from anything tonight,” he shudders.\n“They know it is awful now, and they’re trying to straighten it out. It may be a week before they’re pleased, if ever. They’re always coming up with something new they’ve just learned, something I wouldn’t dream of. They never cease to amaze me.” [...]\nNow, at the bone-weary hour of 2am, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is beginning to take shape. Paul has suggested a tempo change, John is rearranging the lyrics, George is experimenting on a new guitar sound and Ringo has added brushstrokes. They ask to hear a playback and during the break that follows, I ask Paul if they ever worry that the legions of Beatle supporters might not follow their march into the outer regions. He candidly answers: “Sure, we’re going to lose some fans. We lost them in Liverpool when we took off our leather jackets and put on suits. But there’s no point in standing still. We always used to say we could never be 30-year old Beatles. But we will be, and not too many years from now. We’ve reached the point now where there are no barriers. Musically, now, this moment, tonight, this is where we are.”\nAlso on this day...\n- 1970: Mixing: For You Blue\n- 1965: Filming: Help!, the Bahamas\n- 1964: Radio: From Us To You\n- 1963: Live: Granada Cinema, Shrewsbury – Lennon and McCartney write From Me To You\n- 1962: Live: Cavern Club, Liverpool (evening)\n- 1961: Live: Litherland Town Hall, Liverpool\n- 1961: Live: Cassanova Club, Liverpool\n- 1961: Live: Cavern Club, Liverpool (lunchtime)\nWant more?

{ "original": "We have to admit that some gummy vitamins taste dangerously good! But that’s okay because they’re basically healthy candies, right?\nWell, they are candies – that’s for sure. They’re convenient, fun to eat, and supposedly filled with all the nutrients your body needs. However, their health benefits have been glorified over the years. The main problem is that most gummy vitamin brands are missing too many essential nutrients.\nAccording to the Institute of Medicine, we need to get 13 vitamins and 12 minerals from our diets. Since many of us don’t maintain an ideal and balanced diet all the time, we rely on fortified foods and supplements to achieve this goal. Multivitamins are often referred to as our “insurance policy” to ensure that we’re getting everything that our bodies need. Gummy vitamins are thought of as a fun (and yummy) way to get that “insurance”. However, we now know that most gummy multivitamin supplements lack adequate amounts of these necessary nutrients.\nSo much for that insurance policy!\nConsumerLab set out to see which nutrients are actually in some of the most popular brands of vitamins. They tested 37 brands of gummy multivitamins, and not one brand came even close to containing all the vitamins and minerals found in a good old fashioned multivitamin tablet such as Centrum or One-a-Day.\nConsumerLab found that Centrum MultiGummies for Adults was is missing 10 essential nutrients, while Nature Made Multi Adult Gummies and Vitafusion MultiVites each lacked 9 nutrients. Smarty Pants Adult Complete Multivitamin calls itself complete, yet it doesn’t have any B-1, B-3, or K vitamins or iron, magnesium, copper, selenium, and chromium. Not so complete, right? Even worse, some brands contained too much folate or vitamin A and exceeded the daily limit standards set by the Institute of Medicine.\nGummies are more difficult to manufacture, and the ingredients used tend to be of low quality. ConsumerLab suggested that those factors would explain the low vitamin and mineral content in gummy multivitamins. However, there’s still no excuse for mislabeling the products.\nThe takeaway message from ConsumerLab and its study are that if you’re going to spend money on multivitamins and take them every day, then you’re better off pouring a large glass of water and gulping down your multivitamin in tablet form. Say goodbye to the deliciousness of gummies and hello to multivitamins tablets and whole foods that actually give you all the nutrients you need!

{ "original": "In order not to make my Relaxer Day post too long, I thought I would break these 2 posts up and give some hair updates and observations during my time in NC.\n– As you may have read, the week and a half leading up to my relaxer had me shedding something crazy! I literally thought I was going to be bald (hahah!) I never attribute excessive shedding as a cause of me needing to end a relaxer stretch, but since I have relaxed my hair a week ago, the shedding has been soooooooo minimal. Like a few strands a day, even with combing. I often view relaxers as kind of a Darwin-esque mechanism. Hairs (and ends) that are weak just won’t last during a relaxer processing, so I am left with strong, robust strands, if you will! I am not sure if my new birth control kicked in some hormones or whether a change in scenery was what my hair needed, but my shedding is under control – for now!\n– I also experienced some breakage near the end of my relaxer stretch. I don’t think I will just blow dry my hair and not flat iron it again. I plan on roller setting my next pre-relaxer day.\n– I am going to have to learn my hair all over again when I move back to NC. It is soooooooooooo humid! My hair just didn’t stand a chance! I don’t think all the products in the world will stand up to the humidity in the South! I will say this, I think the Living Proof products I am using helped (see below for full list of products). Instead of my hair poofing up all wild-like and leaving me with wet, swollen, and limp hair, the curls just fell and I was able to still wear it down (not sleek … pulled back in a headband) or in a ponytail. I am so glad that I did not pay $45 for a roller set only to have the NC rain and heat come and whisk my curls (and coins) away!\n– I don’t like straight hair. It’s fun to have a sleek, flat ironed look sometimes, but to me, it’s gets old pretty fast and the reasons should be pretty obvious to someone on a HHJ! For one, there is too much upkeep involved to maintain it. You have to wrap (or cross-wrap), take it down, make sure there aren’t any bobby pin or clip indentations and if there are, apply heat to remove them (if you so choose). Also, if it needs to be “bumped,” you have to apply more direct heat. Then you have to watch what you’re wearing, where you go, what the forecast is looking like, etc.! It would be remiss of me not to mention that straight hair displays all your flaws. If your hemline is chewed up, it will show. If you ends are like Rice Krispies (snap, crackle and pop!), it will show. You can hide easily hide subtle flaws with roller sets and other protective styles. Also, I like the look of voluminous curls or waves that I get from roller setting or doing the faux air-drying method.\n– I did a roller set two days after I got my relaxer on Labor Day. I was heading to Raleigh to meet with some friends and had to be fly! I washed my hair with some sulfate shampoo Kim had on hand to remove silicones from my flat ironing session and followed up with my Alterna Caviar Volume poo. I did a 20 minute deep-conditioning session with Ion Extreme Moisture conditioner and followed up with my Roux for 1 minute. My leave-ins were: Living Proof Prime Style Extender, Living Proof\nfrizz Nourishing cream and Alterna Texture cream. Kim kept insisting that I use a setting lotion or foam. I said nope … water only! She rolled me up, I placed on my roller net and I went back to my mom’s house, where I had a dryer like mine waiting for me! I can’t do tabletops if I can avoid it! I sat under the dryer for about 1 hr and was so tired I couldn’t keep my eyes open so I decided to sleep in the rollers for the first time to let it air dry over night! It was a bit uncomfortable, but I was so tired, it really didn’t matter. I misted my hair the next morning and sat back under the dryer for about 30 minutes for a final setting. The curls were beautiful! I was very tempted not to blow them out in preparation for my hair to be wrapped, but I did! In hindsight, I should have left them alone and maybe the frizz wouldn’t have been so bad!\nBy the time I got to Raleigh in the late afternoon on Tuesday, my hair had had it. It was humid, my ends were screaming for a dusting (which I did when I got to the hotel). To add insult to injury, after dinner at Second Empire (yum), we went to Solas, which is a rooftop bar! By the end of the night, my hair was in a bun! The next day, I combed and detangled it, smoothed with some Vitamin E oil and wore it down with a headband.\n– People touching my hair makes me very nervous. I think the longer my hair gets, the more protective of it I become. At the ratchet club we went to Saturday, I sat still in a booth and made sure people couldn’t get behind me. I was in fear that someone would try and pull or cut my hair! In my hometown, there were a few people who checked for tracks. One hairdresser told me, “I would just cut all that hair off if you came to me!” SEE? That’s why I won’t allow black people to do my trims! That almost turned my blood cold.\n– At Sephora in Crabtree Valley Mall, this beautiful lady with beautiful natural hair gave me some tips on how to deal with long hair and frizz! I asked her if she thought the Living Proof\nfrizz shampoo and conditioner was good, and she said she didn’t recommend it, as even without sulfates, she found the shampoo stripping and the conditioner didn’t work well. She said she uses the Alterna Caviar shampoo and conditioner and Living Proof leave-ins ( frizz Nourishing cream, Prime Style Extender and Satin Serum). I knew when she said that, she was a HHJ sister, as she even mentioned the word “journey.” She admired the thickness of my hair and ends, even though the curls had been long gone! She told me that I missed one spot when dusting (which was the very back!), but other than that, my ends looked good! She told me she is preparing for a trim in December to remove some of her ends, but she wants to be MBL when she does it. I talked with her a good 10 minutes, sharing hair tips (I recommended she try the Hercules Sagemann rake comb) and would’ve stayed longer had my friend not come in to retrieve me! One story she told me stuck out and validated my choice not to go to this salon I was thinking about trying. She recalled a time she was at a salon and she was asking the stylist what products she was using, instructing her on how to detangle her hair, etc. and the stylist told her “Oh … you’re one of THOSE!” HA!!!!!!!!!!! I know there are great stylists out there, but I don’t want to go bald on my quest to find one! That’s why I will stick with me or my friend doing it for now!\nP.S. As soon as I got to some shears, I had my friend helped me get that last piece of rough hair!\n– I went to see my dad and thanked him for his genes when it came to hair (he gets no love for my beady, non-descript eyes, but some love for my thick eyebrows). He said, “you’re welcome!” 🙂\n– My ponytails are on point! I was swanging my long ponytail the last two days I was in town! I can’t wait until I see my WL ponytail!\n– I don’t think I am going for full waist length. It would be just too much to deal with, IMHO. I actually like soft, subtle layers, so maybe when my length in the front hits BSL (in the year 2025), I will be happy!\n– No tea, no shade, but so many people are not getting the HHJ memo in NC! These thin wraps that have been flat ironed into oblivion, lacefront wigs, double-processed hair, etc. Kim wanted to know why I sat with conditioner every time I got my hair washed and I told her I never miss a weekly deep conditioning – EVER! I will mind my own damn scalp, but I’m just saying …\nWell, I think that’s all the hair updates and observations I have for now! 🙂" }	{ "base": null, "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999826, "variety": null }

{ "original": "First off, I think this is the best looking large American luxury car ever designed. It is rolling sculpture with beautiful curved lines and nothing over-stated. You would think Buick commissioned Jaguar and Italian experts to create this elegant masterpiece. Modern Cadillacs are ugly abortions with hard angular lines and boxy styling. They lost the concept of the big American luxury-liner by trying to compete with German luxury/performance brands. Well guess what...who cares about road ripping performance? The truly great American luxury cars are all about the big floating ride and lush comfort, period. Buick nailed it down right in every category with the Park Avenue. If the yuppies snicker about big luxury-liners, let them buy their BMW's and carve up mountain roads. I'd rather sensibly cruise down the road with one finger on the steering wheel and totally surrounded in luxurious, living room comfort. With that being said, the Buick has enough power to get you around in style. This car has enough electronic features to make you take college courses just to understand and utilize them, but a downside is they were not thoroughly designed and some may go bad over time. The trunk is cavernous and can hold major groceries. Passengers totally relax in the big bench seats like a limo. The stereo is adequate, but you can really improve the quality with aftermarket upgrades (Hint: the trunk is perfect for a large subwoofer box firing towards the rear. This gives concert hall bass performance). Nothing on the road today feels like this bygone masterpiece of cruising on the open sea. This is a ride that we saw a lot of as kids in most American cars, but now is basically extinct...what a crying shame. So get a Park Avenue if you want total old-fashioned American luxury and don't care about racing with Euro cars. If you are like me, every time you get behind the wheel, nothing can wipe the grin off of your face.\nI've had this car for a week now with 123,227 miles on it and i'm in love with it. The ride is better that most european cars i've had before. I'm a sales man so i drive arround a lot and this car makes me enjoy the road more each time i drive it. It's very good on the gas too and fits all my family comfortably.\nAll it needs is a good paint job and it will look like new!!!\nHeads up display, radio controls in the steerin g wheel\nSince i've owned this car i have done routine maintenance. i have had no problems with reliability. i have over 180,000 miles on the car, the 3.8L supercharged motor runs strong and gets great gas mileage. 32+mpg highway and in the city with traffic i can still get 23/25mpg. its a full size car that fits 6 people with every option.\nfavorite features are by far the heads up display, power with supercharger. 9 speaker stereo. 5 cigarette lighters so everyone can charge there phone ipod etc\nthe cup holders are the cheapest thing in the car. with the car being over 11 years old the driver side window is a little slow and air suspension has been getting squishy.\nThe electronics will go out on you and expect to pay a few hundred to fix (rear defrost, seat adjuster). As everyone says, 30+ mpg highway (I once averaged over 38 on a 150 mile trip!) but in the city it's a dog, I'll get anywhere from 13-21 in the city. I think it looks great, and the sound system is amazing.

The round brings the company’s total funding to more than $ 40M.\nThe new round “lets us continue on the trajectory of trying to grow as fast as we can, which burns through a lot of money,” said CEO Mat Ellis. “It’s a big relief not to have to worry about money for awhile.”\nThe round will be used “to support our existing mission,” said company spokesperson Aaron Kaffen. “We’ll use it for hiring, structure and making sure we can continue growing on our path.”\nFounded in 2011, Cloudability helps companies manage their spending on cloud computing and analyze the voluminous billing and usage data such computing can generate, it said in a prepared release. The company claims it saves organizations an average of 30 percent in the first six months of use.\nCloudability customers include development-tools maker Atlassian, GE and Uber, it said. Ellis declined to say how many customers the company has in total.\nThe firm raised $ 8.7 million in its Series A round, in July 2012. Other investors include 500 Startups, First Round Capital, Techstars and First Round Capital.\nCloudability, which today has 70 employees, has acquired four start-ups in the last 18 months.

The USF Confucius Institute (CI) was proud to be a co-sponsor of the event benefiting the growing K-12 Chinese programs in Florida schools.\nNearly 350 middle and high school students from 20 schools across Florida competed in multiple areas of Chinese language and culture, including oral presentation, writing, talent performance and jeopardy games involving some very difficult questions about Chinese culture and history. First place group winners for the jeopardy games are middle school students from Pine View School and students from Olympic High School. Pine View School also won the first place in calligraphy. Many teachers and some CI staff acted as judges and worked hard grading writing competitions.\nEarly morning on February 11, the CI director Kun Shi delivered the opening remarks. He thanked the students and teachers for their participation, and FCTA for the partnership for the annual competition. He also encouraged the students to take every opportunity in learning Chinese language and culture (including the YCT test and summer camp sponsored by the CI). Later in the afternoon, he introduced the retired army general Bernard Loeffke who made an inspiring speech and emphasized the importance of US-China relations. Gen. Loeffke has been a friend to China since the 1970s and he gave CI lectures at USF in September 2014 (report at http://global.usf.edu/wordpress/?p=4567&cat=31).\nClick here for a video record of the 2017 Florida Chinese Competition event.\nTowards the end of the event, Ms. Chu-Chuan Chiu (FCTA president) and Kun Shi announced two “Teachers of the Year” — Ms. Yan Li from Ponte Vedra High School and Ms. Hua Zhang from Saint Andrew’s School. Each year, FCTA selected two teachers for the awards through member nomination and voting by the officers. FCTA appreciates the USF-CI for sponsoring the awards since 2013.

{ "original": "Начиная с 1999 года экономика Украины переживает возобновление и подъем, извлекая выгоду от благоприятной международной ситуации. С одной стороны, увеличились зарубежные инвестиции в украинские предприятия, не смотря на отставание некоторых соседних стран. С другой — расширился приватный сектор и это коснулось как больших компаний так малых и средних предприятий. В целом в Украине насчитывается более одного миллиона активных коммерческих предприятий.\nУкраина имеет множество конкурентоспособных преимуществ таких как: географическое месторасположение, инфраструктура, низкая оплачиваемость трудовых ресурсов в совокупности с высоким уровнем профессионализма, и к тому же теперь Украина является членом Всемирной Торговой Организации.\nВсе же бюрократия обусловила снижение рейтинга Украины с 144 на 145 позицию.\nВ соответствии с последним докладом Всемирного банка в 2009 году, рейтинг Украины снизился. Страна находится на 145 позиции из 180, а государственные нормативные процедуры проранжированы следующим образом:\n- операции с разрешениями и лицензиями (строительство) — 179 позиция ;\n- оплата налогов (административных и коммунальных) — 180 место;\n- ликвидация бизнеса — 143 место;\n- защита инвесторов на 142 позиции;\n- регистрация имущества на 140 месте;\n- внешняя торговля — 131 позиция;\n- открытие бизнеса — 128 место;\n- наем персонала на 100 позиции;\n- приведение контрактов в исполнение на 49 месте;\n- получение кредита — 28 позиция.\nПри вхождении на украинский рынок Вам обязательно понадобятся региональные партнеры. Выбор потенциальных партнеров очень широк и зависит от того, что Вы желаете приобрести или продать, предложить какие-либо услуги, распространять продукцию или же начать свой бизнес в Украине.\nРегиональных партнеров можно разделить на такие главные категории:\n- фирмы по снабжению;\n- разработчики проектов;\n- государственные или полугосударственные организации;\n- акционерные общества;\n- фирмы слияния и поглощения;\n- квалифицированные консультанты.\nСчитается целесообразным найти специализированную компанию, которая предоставляет услуги по поиску квалифицированных и мотивированных партнеров. Важно, чтобы формат и бизнес культура Вашего украинского партнера совпадали с Вашими. После личной встречи с потенциальными партнерами Вам легче определить подходят ли они Вам, и в позитивном случае начать сотрудничество.\nОсобенно это касается сделок с доминирующими комплексными государственными секторами, такими как авиация, где профессиональная помощь партнера, который может свести Вас с принимающим решения лицом и помочь Вам в таком важном процессе как коммуникация. Большинство представителей государственных учреждений не говорят на английском, а квалифицированная помощь, не только на первой встрече, но и на последующих фазах переписки и договоренностей, тоже важна для достижения успеха.\nЕсли Вы желаете расширить свой бизнес в Украине путем создания регионального офиса или филиала, региональные консультанты предоставят Вам помощь в поиске удобного места расположения, надлежащего материально-технического обеспечения, окажет помощь при регистрации, нахождении квалифицированного персонала, а также предоставит консультации по проведению финансовых операций и др.\nИ наконец, подходящий партнер, с множеством контактов и знанием как помочь реализовать возможности, чтобы получить денежное пособие или иную поддержку при вхождении на украинский рынок, может помочь Вам сократить риски при открытии бизнеса в Украине.\nREASONS TO INVEST IN UKRAINE:\n1. Business climate\nSince becoming independent in 1991, Ukraine has struggled to shift from a centrally planned economy to a market environment.\nSince 2000, Ukraine has implemented significant positive economic and legal reforms. The economy grew at an annual rate exceeding 7% over the period to 2006, including 12% growth in 2004. The growth was fuelled by strong domestic demand, low inflation, and solid consumer and investor confidence.\nUkraine generally encourages foreign trade and investment, and laws allow foreigners to purchase businesses and property (but not agricultural land), repatriate revenue and profits, and receive compensation if property is nationalized. Much reform is still needed, as complex laws and regulations and weak enforcement of contracts by the courts still hinder foreign direct investment.\nSuperficially, taxes appear quite low — 25% for corporations, 15% for individuals while value-added tax (VAT) is 20%. There are many underlying issues:\nRestrictions on deductions mean the effective corporate tax rate is close to 30%.\nDespite political uncertainty over the past two years, the economy has grown steadily and investment has increased.\n2. European Union, NATO\nIn 2005, President Viktor Yushchenko stated that membership in the EU was a strategic goal of his foreign policy. In practice, Ukraine maintains especially close ties with Russia (including energy dependence) and balancing this relationship affects the speed with which Ukraine can move toward integration. The EU is expected to deepen economic and political ties with Ukraine, but is yet to formally indicate that Ukraine has prospects of future EU membership.\nUkraine has a close relationship with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), particularly with respect to emergency situations, technical cooperation, scientific studies and military and defense reforms.\n3. International agreements\nUkraine has established diplomatic relations with approximately 170 countries.\nUkraine is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Council of Europe, as well as a number of other international organisations. Ukraine also cooperates with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but is not a member.\nUkraine is a member of the WTO since May 2008\nIn addition, Ukraine has concluded a number of bilateral agreements concerning trade, avoidance of double taxation, and mutual guarantees of investments. It also has a free trade agreement with Russia, as well as countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).\n4. Legal environment\nThe Ukrainian judicial system underwent significant reforms in 2002. Senior judges are now nominated by the Parliament and appointed by presidential decree for five years, after which Ukraine’s Supreme Council confirms them for life.\nA legal framework exists and courts are always there as an option for resolving disputes, but issues may best be resolved outside of the judicial system. It is worth considering arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism when drafting contracts, although it needs to be recognised that the Ukrainian alternative disputes resolution mechanism is still developing and there is still a shortage of skilled arbiters in the country.\n5. Property market\nForeign citizens and legal entities have the right to own apartments, houses, and other facilities. Ownership of non-agricultural land is also possible, although legal and regulatory restrictions and red tape can significantly complicate the process.\nThere is extensive interest in the real estate market, but a lack of investment grade buildings in Ukraine limits the opportunities for property investors. This creates a lot of opportunity for foreign developers, if they are prepared to navigate the legal and regulatory hurdles that currently exist.\n6. Foreign investment\nUkrainian authorities regularly declare a keenness to encourage foreign investment and the broader public is well disposed to foreign investment.\nThere are few restrictions on foreign ownership. The major exceptions are publishing and broadcasting, and the manufacture of weapons. Otherwise, the regulatory framework for the establishment and operation of businesses in Ukraine by foreign investors is similar to domestic investors. As a general rule, investment permits are not required, but all enterprises must be established according to the form and procedure prescribed by law and registered with appropriate government agencies. Foreign investors are generally not required to seek special approval from authorities for foreign direct investments.\nBoth domestic and foreign investors still encounter difficulties at a practical level. These do not relate specifically to the issue of foreign ownership or investment, but rather to administrative hurdles that are arbitrarily enforced, or random delays.\nRestrictions on foreign investment\nAs mentioned above, restrictions exist for foreign investments in the publishing and broadcasting sectors, and foreigners are not allowed to participate in the manufacturing of weapons.\nUkraine eliminated all investment incentives in March 2005. In August 2006, the Parliament supported a draft resolution recommending that special tax regimes in free economic zones and tax incentives for technology parks be restored.\nForeign exchange issues\nForeign currency is regulated by the 1993 Cabinet of Ministers Decree, On The System Of Currency Regulation And Currency Control, as well as a number of implementing rules issued by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). A number of foreign currency transactions may only be undertaken if an individual license is obtained from the NBU. However, there has been an ongoing trend toward less restrictive rules, the most recent development being the removal of the requirement that Ukrainian residents convert at least 50% of any foreign currency proceeds into local currency (hryvnia).\nA 1% Pension Fund charge applies to the acquisition of foreign currency.\nRepatriation of capital and earnings\nForeign investors are entitled to repatriate profit, income or other funds related to investments without any restrictions, after the payment of applicable taxes. Foreign investors are guaranteed the right to the prompt and unimpeded repatriation of profits and other funds in foreign currency derived from their investments in Ukraine. Conversion of funds for repatriation is effected through the Ukrainian Inter-bank Currency Exchange.\nAlthough not strictly required under the law, registration of the foreign investment may reduce complications in the future (withdrawal of capital, for example). This involves submitting a prescribed set of registration documents to the regional (oblast) state administration, the Kyiv or Sevastopol state administration, or the government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, as appropriate.\nForeign investments are not to be subject to nationalization, expropriation, requisition, or any other measure of similar effect, except when this is in the public interest. In such cases, compensation must be provided to the investor based on the market value of the property.\nUKRAINE’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES\n-46 million consumers – the greatest market in Eastern Europe\n-Highly competitive, well-educated, skilled workforce\n-Strategic location at the crossroads of East-West and North-South trade routes\n-Ideal platform for manufacturing and exporting both to Russia and to the EU\n-Extensive transport infrastructure with railroad system, Black Sea ports, and PanEuropean Transport Corridor roadways\n-Dynamic economic growth in the past five years—one of the highest in Europe\n-Developed value-added industries with strong technical capabilities\n-Concentration of specialized knowledge, network of universities and scientific research centers\n-Many investors success stories including such companies as Kraft Foods, Coca-Cola, Hewlett Packard, Cargill, Knauf, Yazaki, McDonalds and Raiffeisen Bank\nInvestment Opportunities in Ukraine\nUkraine is still considered a high risk country which only proves a possibility of high returns on investments which are done thoroughly, with strong legal support, professional due diligence and appointment of trustworthy management in the key positions.\nInvestment opportunities and current business projects include:\nInvestment opportunities in Ukrainian agricultural production and agricultural infrastructure\nUkraine boasts over 30% of the World’s reserves of most fertile black soils. The post-Soviet economic decline has affected agricultural production. Arable lands are still not traded but it should not stop any agricultural venture from entering the market with the biggest potential of its kind in the World. Ukraine is the most suitable location in the World today for organic agriculture and sustainable biodynamic farming which can provide 25-35% savings on operational costs and irrigation needs and over 20% higher yields compared to conventional.\nAgricultural infrastructure such as field granaries and port grain elevators are becoming increasingly demanded by the fast developing farming sector and growing international demand for food.\nAgricultural modern technologies such as parallel driving and fuel control systems are becoming more popular among Ukrainian farmers who continue to realize the power of efficiency and extra earning against the capital investments in technology.\nInvestment opportunities in Ukrainian banking sector\nDespite the news reports about the troubles in the Ukrainian banking sector, banking remains one of the most attractive sectors in any growing economy. The banks which had absolutely failed to control any financial risks as well as those that had been created as “pocket banks” serving suspicious commercial schemes are among the ones going through the hard times today in Ukraine. Those bankers who could control both appetites for abundant growing potential and manage currency risks have now laid a strong foundation for their further expansion.\nModern retail banking technologies and superior client service practices can still make any new player in the market a winner in a very short period of time.\nFinancial services: Insurance and Leasing \| Investing into Financial Services sector in Ukraine\nUkrainian market is absorbing all types of financial services. Most common are Insurance and Leasing. Opportunities exist for large operator entry, take over of existing companies as well as establishment of brokerage networks across the vast territory of Ukraine.\nInvesting in web media and custom software development in Ukraine\nUkrainian IT brains have been renown all over the World and many of them have actually returned to Ukraine to start up new Internet ventures and software houses producing some of the most sophisticated web applications and mobile applications used all over the World. Ukrainian software developers mostly work with their Western European or American partners as the R&D and back office support. World leaders in software development outsourcing have opened their branches in Ukraine to elaborate software architecture design projects and brain-intensive R&D assignments.\nHealth care, Sports and Recreation\nEscalating standards of living in Ukraine have still brought no major international operators of spa & wellness clubs, sports gyms, fitness centers, and other recreational services. At the same time, demand for recreational services and health care medical services is continuing to grow while quality supply is not sufficient to fill the mass market.\nInvesting in hotels, restaurants, residential space and commercial real estate in Ukraine\nUkrainian real estate prices soared in 2008 and have now been adjusted with the world financial crisis trimming access to financial resources. The buying power decrease however has only temporarily affected the real estate market with a new cycle of development expected by the end of 2009 when Ukraine will also be passing the Presidential elections period which will attract a lot of capital into the country.\nLong to mid- term investing in Ukrainian real estate has always been risky but never failed! Lower market today only means a greater opportunity of tomorrow as the economy will revitalize very soon despite the gloomy news reports in the Ukrainian and international press. The important indicators of the Ukrainian economy are still beyond traditional theories of Western economists and thus cannot be based on official statistics and calculations of real GDP." }	{ "base": null, "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999842, "variety": null }
{ "original": "Just as much of the emphasis of the political discourse in Washington has been on the economy of late, a great deal of our investment decisions is influenced by our views on both the current state of the economy and our forecast for future economic growth.\nAccording to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the U.S. economy has grown for twelve consecutive quarters, but the pace of the growth has been slow and below historical economic recovery averages.\nEvidence of this slow growth can be found in the paltry 1.3% revised Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annualized growth rate for the secondquarter of 2012.\nSource: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, September 2012\nOf further concern to us at Hennion & Walsh, with respect to economic growth, is the impending “Fiscal Cliff” and the accompanying decisions on taxes and spending that are likely to place in the halls of Congress. Some have estimated that a 4% drag on GDP may take place depending on the outcome of these decisions…4% that the economy cannot afford to lose!\nAbsent the outcome of the Fiscal Cliff debates/negotiations, I do not believe that there is a high probability of the economy falling back into recession (which I still define as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth) at this point in time as I have taken notice of positive trends in the housing and jobs markets – and a recently reported 3rd quarter 2012 GDP increased annual rate of 2.7%.\nI have, however, come to the realization that the “new norm” as it relates to economic growth, as measured by GDP, in the United States may fall within the grinding range of 2.2% – 2-8% for the next couple of years (see the photo above of the horse struggling to push its cargo ahead through a muddy field in the photo above for an interesting visual of this thought process).\nOthers have suggested that this “new norm” may last even longer. For example, the Conference Board in the November 2012 Global Outlook (see chart below) forecasted an annualized growth rate of 2.3% in its base case for the years 2013-208 and a further reduced annualized growth rate projection of 2.0% in its base case for the years 2019-2025, representing a distribution of roughly 18% of overall World output.\nComparison of Base Scenario with Optimistic and Pessimistic Scenarios, 2013 – 2025 (November 2012)\nSource: The Conference Board Global Economic Outlook 2013, November 2012.\nEurope includes all 27 current members of the European Union, as well as Switzerland and Norway.\nOther advanced includes Canada, Israel, Iceland, Korea, Australia, Taiwan Province of China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and New Zealand.\n**Southeast Europe includes Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, and Serbia & Montenegro, and Turkey." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": 19, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": true, "is_duplicate_source": null, "original_index": 1157572, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "John Browning engineered a number of modern semi-automatic pistol mechanisms and cartridges. As his first pistol cartridge, the .32 ACP needed a straight wall for reliable blowback operation as well as a small rim for reliable feeding from a box magazine. The cartridge headspaces on the rim. The cartridge was a success and was adopted by dozens of countries and countless governmental agencies.\nWhen the .32 ACP cartridge was introduced, it was chambered in a variety of popular blowback automatic pistols of the day, including the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless, the Savage Model 1907 Automatic Pistol, and the Browning Model 1910 Automatic Pistol. To avoid patent infringement John Pedersen designed the Remington Model 51 so as to not to rely on any other, thus the unique hesitation lock breech mechanism was developed. The .32 ACP has been chambered in more handguns than any other cartridge. Between 1899 and 1909, Fabrique Nationale produced 500,000 guns chambered for .32 ACP.\nThe Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operatedsemi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning. It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, and remained in production until 1998. The name of the shotgun designates that it is an autoloader with a capacity of five rounds, four in the magazine and one in the chamber.\nThe Browning Auto-5 was the first mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun. Designed by John Browning in 1898 and patented in 1900, it was produced continually for almost 100 years by several makers with production ending in 1998. It features a distinctive high rear end, earning it the nickname \"Humpback\". The top of the action goes straight back on a level with the barrel before cutting down sharply towards the buttstock. This distinctive feature makes it easy to identify A-5s from a distance. A-5s were produced in a variety of gauges, with 12 and 20 predominating; 16 gauge (not produced between 1976 and 1987) models were also available. The gun saw military service worldwide between World War I and the Vietnam War.\nThe Jīva or Atman (/ˈɑːtmən/; Sanskrit:आत्मन्) is a philosophical term used within Jainism to identify the soul. It is one's true self (hence generally translated into English as 'Self') beyond identification with the phenomenal reality of worldly existence. As per the Jain cosmology, jīva or soul is also the principle of sentience and is one of the tattvas or one of the fundamental substances forming part of the universe. According to The Theosophist, \"some religionists hold that Atman (Spirit) and Paramatman (God) are one, while others assert that they are distinct ; but a Jain will say that Atman and Paramatman are one as well as distinct.\" In Jainism, spiritual disciplines, such as abstinence, aid in freeing the jīva \"from the body by diminishing and finally extinguishing the functions of the body.\"\nJain philosophy is essentially dualistic. It differentiates two substances, the self and the non-self.\nAccording to the Jain text, Samayasāra (The Nature of the Self):-\nLife is the eighth album released by KRS-One, and the eighth after abandoning the Boogie Down Productions name. The album is a collaboration with Tunnel Rats affiliates The Resistance, a little known production team, and Footsoldiers.\nUnlike its predecessor, Dance to the Music, Life was not a commercial success, although it has received mostly positive reviews from music critics over the years. Many of its songs, including \"M'Lady\", \"Fun\", \"Love City\", as well as the title track, became popular staples in the Family Stone's live show. A middle ground between the fiery A Whole New Thing and the more commercial Dance to the Music, Life features very little use of studio effects, and is instead more driven by frontman Sly Stone's compositions. Topics for the album's songs include the dating scene (\"Dynamite!\", \"Chicken\", \"M'Lady\"), groupies (\"Jane is a Groupee\"), and \"plastic\" (or \"fake\") people (the Beatlesque \"Plastic Jim\"). Of particular note is that the Family Stone's main themes of unity and integration are explored here in several songs (\"Fun\", \"Harmony\", \"Life\", and \"Love City\"). The next Family Stone LP, Stand!, would focus almost exclusively on these topics.\nQuote (from the term for stock price), first published in November 1986, is a Dutchmagazine which is most notable for making the Quote 500, a list of the 500 wealthiest people Netherlands with their financial position, similar to the list produced by Forbes.\nQuote is published monthly and provides information about the business, money, career, networks and life at the top. In December 1999, the magazine was named \" Magazine of the Year\" by the Dutch Publishers' Association.\nThe editorial office is based in Amsterdam. Quote was sold by the founder Maarten van den Biggelaar and two friends to Hachette Filipacchi Médias (HFM) on July 21, 2006. Editor Jort Kelder then stepped down April 2007 after more than thirteen years.\nIn November 2002, Quote published the first picture of real estate magnate Willem Endstra and ex-HeinekenontvoerderWillem Holleeder who were sitting on a bench outside the office of Endstra in South Amsterdam. Endstra, who had always denied his links with the underworld, filed a summary proceedings in which he demanded that Quote be withdrawn from the market. He said he feared for his safety. Initially, his claim was upheld, but a few days later it was decided differently in a second procedure." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999843, "variety": "original" }

Kiechle’s solo exhibits and invitational shows drew critical acclaim, securing his position as one of the most respected artistic minds of the industry.\nLos Angeles Times art critic Arthur Millier called Kiechle “a born painter,” saying that he had “a gift for suggesting atmosphere, and is one of the best painters of night in the region.” Harbinger’s collection of Kiechle’s work – which includes some of these highly regarded evening scenes – is currently housed at its storefront on La Cienega.\nSince Harbinger first opened in 2008, it has grown to a 5,000-square-foot showroom, representing over 40 lines of fabric, lighting, wallpaper, furniture, carpets, and decorative arts.

{ "original": "A few weeks on from the Fighters update and the quest system is now ready to run with Daggerfall’s main story quest. Well, the first few quests at least. Welcome to the Vengeance update!\nThe aim of this test cycle is to ensure the main quest can be experienced by a non magic using character. My plan is to roll out the main quest in small bite-sized pieces with the ability to reset the main quest instantly to one of several critical points along the way. This forum post has all the details.\nIn summary, you can use the console command “setmqstage number” to setup your character level, reputation, global variables, and quest loadout to start testing main quest from any point. Right now stage 1 and 2 are active, and more will be added in the coming weeks.\nBy limiting quests to a handful at a time, I can build out remaining quest actions in small pieces while bug-fixing the live quests. Hopefully this will keep testers on track and communicating in a standard way. But you can try to play ahead through the whole main quest right now if you so choose. Only please keep in mind some of the later quests are missing action support and will not execute properly. So play ahead for fun but keep the real testing and feedback for the current stages.\nAlso new in this version is full save/load of quest state. If a quest breaks or doesn’t go as planned, you can send me your save file and I’ll be able to inspect what’s happening from the save data. A lot of other bug fixes and small improvements have also made their way into the latest builds.\nYou will find latest builds on the Live Builds page as usual. I hope you enjoy playing through the first few story quests in Daggerfall Unity. Don’t forget, this forum thread is the right place for discussion and feedback.

{ "original": "We have been made aware of agents operating in the area offering to check council tax bandings for a fee. You do not need to pay an external company to have your council tax banding checked, you can request this for free by contacting the Valuation Office Agency.\nThe amount of council tax payable is set annually by the city council.\nThe actual amount payable depends on the value of your property and the current rates for Salford. The law defines what the relationship between each valuation band must be. For example, the bills for properties in band A must be two thirds of the bills for properties in band D in the same local area.\nIf you need to find out your council tax band please search Your Salford.\nSalford's council tax bands for 2018 to 2019 are:\n\|Valuation band\|\|Property value\|\|Council tax charge\|\n\|A\|\|Up to £40,000\|\|£1,172.69\|\n\|B\|\|£40,001 to £52,000\|\|£1,368.14\|\n\|C\|\|£52,001 to £68,000\|\|£1,563.59\|\n\|D\|\|£68,001 to £88,000\|\|£1,759.05\|\n\|E\|\|£88,001 to £120,000\|\|£2,149.95\|\n\|F\|\|£120,001 to £160,000\|\|£2,540.85\|\n\|G\|\|£160,001 to £320,000\|\|£2,931.74\|\n\|H\|\|More than £320,000\|\|£3,518.10\|\nFor further information on your council tax bill please see our council tax leaflet page.\nHow are properties assessed for council tax?\nEach dwelling has been allocated to one of eight bands by a listing officer according to its open market capital value at 1 April 1991. You can check the council tax band for your property on the government's Valuation Office website.\nDo you think your home is in the wrong band?\nThe council doesn’t decide what council tax band your home is in. That’s done by the Valuation Office Agency. If you’d like to appeal your band, please contact them. Find out more on the appeals process.\nHere's how to check whether you may have a valid claim:\nNew properties and completion notices\nBefore a bill for council tax can be sent for a new dwelling, or one that has been converted from an existing building, the dwelling will need to be listed in the council’s valuation list and given a council tax band by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). The council will normally serve a completion notice on the owner of a newly completed dwelling, or conversion. The date of the completion notice will normally be used by the VOA as the date it will be entered into the list and the date that council tax can be charged from. If a dwelling is already complete and occupied a completion notice may not be needed and the VOA may use the occupation date as the date to enter it into the list.\nIf the work remaining to be done to complete a dwelling, or conversion, could reasonably be undertaken within a three month period, a completion notice may be issued to the owner specifying the date within the next three months that it could be substantially completed by. This will then be the date that the VOA is asked to enter the property onto the council’s valuation list.\nThe 'owner' of an empty or unoccupied dwelling is defined as 'the person entitled to possession'.\nA completion notice is issued in accordance with Schedule 4A of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 and Section 17 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.\nIf you would like further advice about council tax in Salford, please use our council tax enquiry form.\nThis page was last updated on 19 September 2018" }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999850, "variety": "original" }

{ "original": "If you want to lose weight, just drink a little water before all three meals.\nAccording to TIME, a new study conducted by researchers at England's University of Birmingham found drinking just 16 ounces of water can make one significantly less hungry and, therefore, less likely to gain weight.\nThe team, led by Dr. Amanda Daley, put 84 obese adults into two groups. The members of the first group were instructed to drink 500 ml of water, or about 16 ounces, half an hour before each of their daily meals. The others were told to merely imagine they were full before eating, and they did not alter their usual water intakes.\nNeither group was told to increase or decrease their physical activity throughout the 12-week experiment.\nBy the end of the study, each member of the first group reportedly lost approximately nine pounds while each member of the second group only lost six pounds on average.\nDr. Daley noted the first group's weekly results satisfied the requirements for what Weight Watchers deems an effective path to weight loss. She reportedly said,\nThat's about what you get from going to Weight Watchers for 12 weeks. That's a real success.\nThe study also highlighted drinking water before a meal can greatly affect what one chooses to eat, and Dr. Daley believes people of all body types could lose weight should they drink water before meals.\nDr. Daley added,\nWe all get fatter over time, so it might well work as a prevention strategy at a population level.

{ "original": "A \"defiant\" and \"obstructionist\" BCCI was on Monday pushed to the backfoot by Supreme Court, which said its President Anurag Thakur and veteran official Ratnakar Shetty were \"at odds\" on the allegation that ICC's indulgence was sought to state that implementation of Lodha panel's recommendations and apex court directions tantamounted to government interference in its working.\n\"Thakur admits that he had asked ICC chairperson (Shashank Manohar) for a letter while Ratnakar Shetty's affidavit says he had not asked. Shetty's affidavit filed earlier is at odds with that of Anurag Thakur,\" a bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud observed.\nThe bench, which reserved its order on the likely directions to be passed to the BCCI on implementation of the Lodha Committee recommendation for massive structural reform in the cash-rich sports body, took strong exception on the conflicting stand of Thakur and Shetty, General Manager (Cricket Operation), who were asked to file personal affidavits on 7 October.\nThey were asked to explain the allegation that ICC CEO Dave Richardson was asked by BCCI to issue a letter that Lodha panel's directions tantamounted to government interference.\nPushing both the cricket administrators to a sticky wicket, the bench wondered \"Whether an attempt was made to secure a letter from ICC to state that the presence of CAG nominee in the apex council would tantamount to government interference in the BCCI working.\n\"If this was so, can it be meant to say that it was an attempt not to comply with the recommendations of the Lodha committee and the Supreme Court judgement by stating that ICC is threatening to strip the membership of BCCI,\" the bench said after perusing their affidavits and submission made by senior advocate Gopal Subramanian, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae in the matter.\n\"Do we go into inquiry and go to the bottom of it? At every stage, there appears to be defiance and obstructionist approach\", the bench said.\nDefending the two cricket administrators, senior advocate Kapil Sibal said \"BCCI is being portrayed as a villain. It's like all wrong things are happening due to BCCI\".\n\"The remedy sought by Amicus Curiae will be worst than the disease,\" Sibal said, adding that BCCI does not want to show willful defiance.\nThe apex court, which was also told that the interview of ICC CEO on the issue of letter being sought by BCCI on Lodha recommendation, was on the website, said \"Dave Richardson, ICC CEO, is a senior person and you are accusing him of making false statement, when the BCCI President is asking to issue a letter that inclusion of CAG nominee in the apex council amount to government interference in the working of the BCCI\".\nThe bench noted that Thakur in his affidavit had made a reference that Manohar had expressed his views that appointment of CAG nominee in the apex council would amount to governmental interference before that stand was rejected by the apex court in 18 July verdict.\n\"What Manohar had said is perfectly in order as once the judgement was passed rejecting the contention that nominee of CAG would tantamount to government interference there was an appointment in this regard,\" the bench said.\nIt also warned if there was a false statement given by BCCI office bearers on affidavit, then perjury or contempt proceedings could be initiated.\nThe day's hearing began with the perusal of Thakur's and Shetty's affidavits in which the former had also stated that he had taken part in a recent ICC meeting where he had pointed out to ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar that he, as the then BCCI President, had taken a view that Lodha panel recommendation on appointment of a CAG nominee in the apex council would amount to governmental interference and may invoke action of suspension of the Board from the ICC.\n\"I, therefore, requested him that he being the ICC chairman, can a letter be issued clarifying the position which he had taken as BCCI President,\" the affidavit of Thakur said.\n\"Manohar explained to me at the meeting that when the stand was taken by him (as the then BCCI chief), the matter was pending before this court and had not been decided,\" the BCCI president said.\nThe affidavit further said the apex court had later rejected BCCI's contention that the appointment of CAG nominee in the council would amount to governmental interference.\nThe apex court perused the affidavits filed by Thakur and Shetty in which the 41-year-old BCCI President outrightly denied having asked ICC CEO Richardson to state that the appointment of three-member committee headed by former Chief Justice of India R M Lodha committee would \"tantamount to government interference\" in the functioning of BCCI.\nThe bench noted that Shetty in his affidavit has stated that no letter was sought from the ICC CEO as was alleged.\nSubramaniam pointed out the contradictions in the affidavit and said that \"an attempt was indeed made to seek a letter. ... This the man (Thakur) who is at the helm of the affairs, can he be trusted for implementation of the Lodha committee's recommendations and compliance of judgement.\"\nTo this, the bench sought to peruse minutes of the meeting to find out as to what had transpired between Thakur and ICC chairperson Shashank Manohar saying BCCI president's affidavit was contrary to what Shetty has said.\nThe court noted from the record that the draft affidavit and Thakur's affidavit were in tune, but Shetty's affidavits filed earlier were different.\nSubramaniam then said the amounts received as compensation from ICC for cancellation of Champions Trophy was disbursed since 8 August onwards to several state associations even before the 22 August working committee meeting.\n\"There is a prima facie view that disbursal of funds was made to state associations as they all later said in unison that they will go clause by clause,\" he said.\nSubramaniam, supporting the Lodha panel recommendations for cricket administrators, said if the recommendation for structural reforms needed to be implemented, then he will go by the views of the committee.\n\"Lodha committee should not itself be allowed to take over the cricket body. Instead it should keep filing report in the court about the progress. There is no dearth of capable and upright persons for being appointed as cricket administrators,\" he said.\nHe said \"Judgement should be taken to logical conclusion. They have disdainfully obstructed the judgement. This kind of obstructionist behaviour is contemptuous in both civil and criminal because there is repeated disobediance of judgement\".\nWhen Sibal took his turn to take BCCI, Thakur and Shetty out of a sticky wicket, the bench said in the Dubai meeting, Thakur had sought clarification from Manohar about his view while he was BCCI president about the Lodha committee recommendation on the presence of CAG nominee in the apex council.\nNow Thakur admits that it was a regular ICC meeting but earlier he had said that it was an informal meeting, it said.\nSibal said that BCCI was a body of a group of cricket associations and 3/4th of the associations were not willing to go by the recommendations and hence it needed some time to persuade these associations to comply with the reforms.\nTo this, the court asked Sibal to openly say what is the problem in complying with judgement and reforms as recommended by Lodha panel.\nSibal said there were several recommendation like taking away the voting rights of Bombay cricket association and Baroda cricket association and giving it to north eastern states.\n\"Please do not take away the voting rights of our founder members. It will lead to further corruption. Some states do not have requisite infrastructure,\" he said adding that Lodha committee has no authority to decide the schedule.\nThe court said the problem with BCCI was that it did not want to share the largesse with other boards and if the Lodha panel does something beyond its jurisdiction, then BCCI can always comes to Supreme Court.\nThe apex court will also pass its order on the plea of Lodha committee that cricket administrators should be appointed to carry out the reforms as suggested by the committee or court's direction.\nThe apex court had on 7 October directed Thakur to explain by filing a \"personal affidavit\", the allegation whether he had asked the CEO of the ICC to state that the appointment of Justice Lodha Committee was tantamount to government interference in the working of the BCCI\".\nIt had ordered that no further amounts should be disbursed to state associations by BCCI, except where the State Association concerned passes a resolution saying it is agreeable to undertake and support the reforms as proposed and accepted by this Court in letter and spirit.\nThe apex court had said that with regard to \"the 13 State Associations to whom the payment has already been disbursed, shall not appropriate the amount, except after they have passed a resolution to abide by reforms suggested.\nUpdated Date: Oct 17, 2016 21:25 PM" }	{ "base": null, "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999854, "variety": null }

{ "original": "Most of us have heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Bound. However, sometimes they can add more busy-ness and clutter to our lives without any real accomplishment. And many times we base them on the ‘shoulds’ that are imposed from societal expectations, and not from our inner ‘musts’, which hinder us from reaching outside our comfort zone and achieving our life’s dreams. Because of this, well, sometimes they can just be plain boring and unauthentic, which doesn’t motivate or inspire us for the long term.\nInstead, sometimes we need to set some D.U.M.B. goals to spice up our lives and get unstuck. Sometimes we need goals that others might scoff at or say it isn’t realistic, and we can prove them wrong. And sometimes, we just need to dream big to feel alive.\nAnd while achievable is necessary for goals… for example, a 5’2″, 42 year old woman, will never be an official NFL football player…. the other 4 rules can and should be broken from time to time.\nSo, if you’re in a rut, feel stuck, or just want more purpose in your life, then try setting some D.U.M.B. goals!\nD.U.M.B. goals are:\nDaring ~ Step outside the status quo. Buck the trends. Be authentic. Embrace Vulnerability. “Too many of us are not living our dreams, because we are living our fears.” – Les Brown\nUncomfortable ~ The route to happiness is not by avoiding unhappiness.

{ "original": "This route is probably the most popular way of all to approach Mt. Feathertop. Not only does it avoid a long climb, but it provides a magnificent 10km ridge walk along the Razorback, prior to the final 1.5km pull up to the summit.\nThe walk starts just below Diamantina Hut on the road up to Mt. Hotham (there’s generally plenty of room to park by the side of the road). The track is well defined and for the most part follows the spine of the ridge. A short distance from the start there’s a Y junction, the left spur continues to the top of a large hill and the junction with Bon Accord Spur, before descending into Big Dipper, the right spur avoids the climb up the hill by sidling along the east side. From Big Dipper the track continues about another 7km or so before it is joined by Champion Spur on the left (west) side. From here Twin Knobs (to the east) are passed and then the path passes to the left of High Knob, which is the top of the Diamantina Spur. The Diamantina Spur track (which avoids going up and over High Knob) joins the Razorback shortly thereafter. The path then curves slightly to the north-west, passing Molly Hill before reaching a track junction next to an old gnarled snowgum that has sheltered many walkers over the years (and miraculously escaped the devastating Razorback bushfire in 2003 which took out most of the ridge and Federation Hut).\nAt this track junction, the path to the west – the Bungalow Spur track – leads down 500m to Federation Hut, and a very attractive overnight camping area. The main path continues north-east, soon passing the north-west spur track to the left (the walking track on the north-west spur is called the Tom Kneen track after a skier who died when the cornice on Mt Feathertop collapsed under him as he was making a winter ascent). From here the track starts to climb, first moderately and then very steeply, before finally attaining the summit. Note that at the summit there a two ‘peaks’ close together; the highest is the second one when approaching from the south.\nViews from the summit are, in good weather, magnificent.\nTo return, follow the same route back to the Mt Hotham road. Note that while this is an attractive walk in the warmer months, the ridge is very exposed and you should be prepared for poor weather at any time, including rain and strong winds (and snow, even in summer). Note also, that although there are no big climbs, the walk is still over 22km return, so get an early start, particularly if you are relatively new to bushwalking.\nWalk date: numerous times, the last on 27 Dec 2007\nView Larger Map\nTime/level: 1 day med (allow 6-7 hours), about 22km\nMaps: Rooftop’s Mt Feathertop-Hotham Forest Activities Map (1:30,000), VICMAP Bogong Alpine Area, Outdoor Leisure Map (1:50,000)\nMy rating: A+, one of my all-time favourite walks\nPhotos from December 2007:" }	{ "base": "original", "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999856, "variety": "original" }

{ "original": "Less than a month after sponsoring an event for Virginia Episcopal clergy featuring a speaker who denies both the afterlife and unique divinity of Christ, Bishop Shannon Johnston of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia has presided over a service featuring a similarly controversial figure.Read the rest here.\nIn a Good Friday service at historic St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, retired Bishop John Shelby Spong decried the Nicene Creed as “a radical distortion of the Gospel of John,” asserted that several of the apostles were “mythological” and declared that Jesus Christ did not die to redeem humanity from its sins.\nThe three hour service featured a series of six meditations by the retired Newark bishop interspersed with prayers led by Johnston and a hymn promoted by the Center for Progressive Christianity entitled “Welcome doubt: Refine our thinking.” Johnston’s promotion of Spong, whose Newark diocese famously declined by 40 percent during his tenure, further undercuts the Virginia bishop’s claim to be creedal and orthodox.\n(I am posting this here instead of T-19 out of deference to their house rules. They get a bit touchy over comments critical of Anglicanism.)\nWhy is anyone even remotely surprised? Seriously. This is the perfectly logical devolution of a \"church\" (or communion if you prefer) that at its inception tried to wedge St. Athanasius and Calvin into the same pew and still visualizes them communing from the same chalice. Of course any \"church\" that attempts such is a fraud. But even now we have Piskies obsessing over the whole gay thing but who were/are totally unconcerned about women's ordination and even more serious doctrinal issues. That's why Mr. Spong is the poster child for what Anglicanism is all about.\nBecause when you boil it all down Anglicanism is just one endless series of theological and doctrinal compromises made by people for whom the only real heresy is dogmatism and intolerance of endless dialogue. The fact that an overt apostate like Jack Spong is called a \"bishop\" by the Episcopal Organization is just further evidence that it has devolved into little more than liturgical Unitarianism. Some of the other branches of the Anglican tree are not as advanced in their own decay. But the seeds of their destruction are already planted. They were sown more than 500 years ago." }	{ "base": null, "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999861, "variety": "original" }

Otherwise, they would have no one to blame for all of the problems we are currently having in the world!\nThere hasn’t been a “man-made disaster” or an “overseas contingency” since the dawn of time that the liberals haven’t tried to pin on George. So far at least, he’s the only reason they can find for Obama’s total failure during his almost 5 years in office! Vilification of George W. Bush is their only means of excusing Obama’s failures! In fact, vilification is truly the only weapon liberals have in their arsenal!\nUnfortunately, when you have no facts to support your argument you have to find some other way to blame your opponent! Liberals have to rely on character assassination to discredit their opponents.

To them, Obama is just an innocent bystander!\nDetroit is America’s poorest city! Never mind that Detroit hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961! Apparently that’s irrelevant. It’s still the Republicans who are responsible! Chicago is the most violent city in America! They have elected 11 Democrats as mayor in a row since 1931. That is, if you don’t count their current mayor Rahm Emanuel, who (by current law) ran as a Nonpartisan (give me a break)!

While the government shuts down; they can’t spend any of our hard earned tax dollars! That would be a good thing and in that case they would want to take credit for it. Wouldn’t they?\nOf course, since most liberals are unaware that the government has shutdown no less than 17 times during the past 37 years without any major disasters taking place; I’m sure they don’t understand that it could be a good thing!\nYes folks, the government shutdown last night but, the sun came up this morning in spite of it!

Samsung has largely countered Apple's claims that it \"blatantly copied\" the iPhone and iPad with accusations that Apple infringes its patents related to wireless 3G standards.\nHowever, the patented technologies in question were promised to be licensed under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. The EC's view—which may be shared by the FTC and DoJ in the US—is that seeking court-ordered injunctions based on standards essential patents is likely a violation of anti-competition laws.\nThe EC announced an active investigation into Samsung's potential abuses of its FRAND promises earlier this year. Almunia indicated that seeking injunctions was \"one of the most important\" objections that the Commission had with Samsung's tactics, suggesting it was not the only objection.\n\"We will continue to investigate this for sure,\" Almunia said. \"We are very happy if these injunctions are withdrawn, but we will continue to investigate abuses which existed, according to our view, in the past.\"" }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999863, "variety": "original" }

The set releases 31st October and if you pre-order, you’ll get it for the bargain price of just 99c!\nAs soon as Rosie stepped into the kennel area, she feared she’d made a huge mistake. Barks, whines, yips and the sounds of furry bodies climbing and bouncing up against the wire of the cages filled her ears. Her heart pounded and her mouth went dry.\nShe froze just past the doorway, hovering on the very edge of indecision. Should she carry on, or turn and leave? Would she be able to cope with the emotional battering she’d undoubtedly get if she continued? All those sad faces, those soulful eyes, tragic stories… she’d want to take them all home, and neither she nor her compact house and garden were equipped for that.\nShe closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. Come on, Rosie, get a bloody grip! You can’t save them all.\nNodding and gritting her teeth, her decision made, she walked tentatively towards the first kennel. The dog that greeted her was gorgeous—a mass of black fur, lolling tongue, heavy panting and frantically wagging tail. Aww! Already Rosie’s heart was melting, but she knew she had to be sensible about this. Lovely as… she read the information notice stapled to the kennel’s frame… Aidan was, he was far, far too big for her house and garden. The poor boy would go stir crazy.\nShe’d thought long and hard about getting a dog, had weighed up the pros and cons, figured out costs and budget, and come to the decision that it was perfectly doable, as long as she found the right one. For his or her sake, as well as her own. No point in rescuing a dog if she couldn’t keep up with its need for exercise, or couldn’t afford to feed its enormous appetite or make the pet insurance payments. That would be worse than leaving it where it was, to be potentially adopted by someone who could provide those things.\nShe gave Aidan a fond smile. “Sorry, beautiful boy. I think you’re amazing, but you’re too big. Someone’s going to come along soon who’s got acres of land, though, and they’re going to snap you up.

{ "original": "Since 2006 over 30% of Glasgow’s tower blocks have been demolished. Entire communities have disappeared as Glasgow embarks on its latest orgy of demolition, a ‘solution’ that has been so prevalent in the city’s history. Glaswegians have grown so familiar with mass demolition and subsequent regeneration to change, reinvent and market the city. They can perhaps be forgiven for not noticing, or even caring about the fundamental changes that have taken place in just a short period of eight years. If you blinked you really could have missed it.\nIn the previous round of mass demolition in the 1960s and 70s, tens of thousands of Glaswegians were decanted from slums into new schemes and high-rise flat developments. These new homes, many of them high-rise flats, represented a utopian vision for social housing – complete with kitchen and indoor bathroom, central heating and mixer taps, they were presented as the solution to some of the worst slum conditions in Europe at that time.\nBy the turn of the 21st century the solution had become the problem. The humble wrecking ball was replaced with multi-million pound demolition contracts, explosives developed by NASA, secured exclusion zones and demolition spectacles that all the community are invited to watch. But the simple ethos of “knock-em-down and build-emback- up-again” remains the same.\nThis latest frenzy of demolition can be attributed to the labelling of these areas as ‘Sink Estates’, with commentators and local authorities citing high levels of drug use and crime, and buildings unfit for habitation. It is presented as being easier and more cost-effective to sweep away the problems along with the buildings. Thus councillors, officials and the media celebrate the death of high-rise as progress – to the extent that Glasgow’s City Fathers endorsed a scheme to blow up the Red Road flats as part of the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, a live TV spectacle for the enjoyment of millions.\nIt’s not just high-rise flats that are disappearing in the name of progress. In areas far outside the leafy West End, demolition of the city’s grand Victorian and Edwardian tenements has continued, often with little comment or protest. Derelict and forgotten for 30 years, Dalmarnock was to be saved by the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The last remnants of old Dalmarnock’s tenements were razed to the ground, and with them homes and businesses. Local residents are still trying to fathom the ‘legacy’ of this two-week mega sporting event for them, and for their area.\nAnd what of the new-build schemes that replace the tower blocks and tenements? What happens to the communities that are scattered across the city? For many people life in a high-rise or a ‘Sink Estate’ is not the way they want to live or bring up a family. They welcome their new homes with front and back gardens. But with the whole country suffering a housing shortage, and with the volume and quality of new builds decreasing, does it really make sense to destroy more homes than you build? Can we be sure we won’t live to see, once again, the wholesale demolition of the houses we are building today – today’s ‘solution’ becoming tomorrow’s problem?\nProject supported by" }	{ "base": "original", "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999868, "variety": "original" }

So the more $ he makes from his show, the more $ goes to the USO.\nGeneral John I. Pray, Jr., Executive Vice President and Joint Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force released a statement saying, [Sheen's] support is greatly appreciated, especially from our wounded warriors and their families.\nSheen also released a statement saying, \"Its an honor for me to be able to give back to these men and women of the military who have done so much for all of us.\"\nHe adds, \"They put their lives on the line for us every day, and Im just happy that my work on 'Anger Management' can bring a little bit of relief to the troops and their families.\nI hope one day Charlie will realize how he got the last name of “Sheen.”\n1% profit would be after agent fees , management fees, taxes, and whatever else gets cooked into it.\nThanks very “generous” of Charlie but how about an equal amount to the Wounded Warrior Project?\nHere was Charlie’s condition when they mentioned his name for American Idol\n“CONDITION #2. Charlie says the money has to be right: “If the numbers move the needle AND ‘Idol’ matches 20% of my weekly salary for Autism Speaks, JDRF, and the Boys and Girls Club ... then the hell with it. As we say, pour the smoke.”\nWow, just Wow. OIF vet\nThat just means 1% of his paycheck. SAG dues, commissions to agents, taxes etc come out of his earnings before he sees it.\nPic 3....thanks for posting.\n“The actor, 46, will Sheen will tender the first payment of $250,000 in a private ceremony later this week with Sloan D. Gibson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the USO.\nThe funds will benefit an entertainment facility for injured troops in Bethesda, Maryland.”\nDon’t know if it is for the whole million or just the first payment\nIt’s still all about Charlie. This is just publicity for him and his new show.\nhere’s more- donation is to Operation Enduring Care\nTodays groundbreaking initiates the public phase of the USO program Operation Enduring Care, a $100 million capital fundraising campaign: $25 million will be allocated to build two new Wounded Warrior and Family Centers (Fort Belvoir and Bethesda, Md.); $50 million will support ongoing programs at the centers and worldwide and $25 million will endow the two centers.\nIt doesn't lessen his generousity. He could have given it to some liberal cause given that Hollywood is run by the libs\nA real mensch would just give the USO the money and not make a publicity stunt out of it.....he’s an asshole.\nNot a big fan of the man, but credit where credit is due.\nLet’s hope this is the start of a new trend with his Hollywood friends.\nMaybe it is, I don’t know.\nBut you know, when taking into consideration the; hollywierd environment he grew up in, rabid anti-American, pro-communist father, etc. I’m willing to give him some benefit of the doubt.\nI’m not familiar with the show.

{ "original": "Following initial reports that Samsung has been looking to enter the virtual reality space with a headset for its mobile phones, Engadget is now reporting that the company isn't actually out to compete with others in the space namely, Oculus VR. Instead, it appears that Samsung and Oculus are teaming up to work on a virtual reality headset together.\nAccording to unnamed sources, Samsung will be in charge of the virtual reality headset's hardware, whereas Oculus will handle the software. The latter will give Samsung access to the Oculus mobile software development kits and, in return, Oculus will be able to play around with OLED screens from Samsung. Everybody wins, right?\n\"Samsung wants to be first to market with a virtual reality headset, but it doesn't want to invest the time and money that Oculus and Sony are,\" writes Engadget's Ben Gilbert. \"Oculus VR wants to create a high-quality virtual reality headset specifically for gaming, and it doesn't want to rush one out.\"\nOne problem? If Samsung and Oculus jointly release a lackluster product, the move might hurt the very virtual reality market that Oculus hopes to make a tangible reality (and lucrative business) going forward. Samsung, obviously, has a number of different businesses to keep it afloat; Oculus has one.\nAs for the headset itself, it's expected that said device will plug into a Samsung smartphone (GS5 or better) using its existing connections. Attach the headset to your noggin and you'll be staring at your smartphone's screen (only giant-sized). The headset comes with sensors built in so as not to destroy your phone's battery with all the motion-tracking calculations (we assume), and your smartphone will even be able to pass the video signal from its rear-facing cameras along to the headset (trippy).\nAs for the practical applications of said headset, it's a bit too early to gauge just what, exactly, one will be able to do in virtual reality space that's easier (or better) than one's conventional interactions with a smartphone. So far, early demos include a giant, empty, 3D field that one can navigate and load apps via nodding at them to select them. Others include some kind of demo where one is \"at the beach with jamming hippies,\" in addition to a skydiving demo that's alleged to be \"nerve-wracking.\"\nOculus VR is in the process of being acquired by Facebook, which shelled out $2 billion on the firm. The company is also battling video game firm ZeniMax, which sued Oculus VR and chief Palmer Luckey for not compensating ZeniMax for alleged improvements it made to the Oculus Rift headset in its early days." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": true, "original_index": 3999874, "variety": "original" }

The lens is composed of layers, like an onion. Biostatistical analysis of pseudophakic and aphasic retinal detachments. Unfortunately, the improved vision is short-lived and will disappear as the cataract worsens. June 11, 2013. Complications from cataract surgery are rare. One theory is that in the ageing eye, barriers develop that prevent glutathione and other protective antioxidants from reaching the nucleus in the lens, thus making it vulnerable to oxidation. Symptoms often include problems with glare and light scatter at night. 30 Posterior sub capsular cataracts are cloudy at back of the lens adjacent to the capsule or bag in which the lens sits. It can develop months or even years later, but it tends to occur after an artificial lens is implanted.\nPreventing Infection and Reducing Swelling. How much experience do you have with this procedure? Cataract. Obesity, which is associated with diabetes type 2, may also be a risk factor for cataracts. You also must wear your protective eye shield while sleeping or napping for about a week after surgery. You should have your eyes tested at regular intervals so your prescription can be adapted accordingly. Other medications that may be associated with cataracts include the long-term use of satins and phenothiazines. When the cataract is removed, your surgeon makes every attempt to maintain the integrity of the lens capsule, and normally your vision after cataract surgery should be very clear. Severe adverse events after cataract surgery among Medicare beneficiaries. Wear sunglasses during the day to reduce glare and reduce chance of further UV damage.\nIf medical boards dont have proper oversight, patients will get hurt and in the end, so will taxpayers. If we do not hold the person or company that caused the disability accountable, it is the taxpayer who bears the responsibility through Medicare, Medicaid, and assistance programs. Or it must be borne by the public through charitable institutions. Or it goes uncompensated and must be borne by the victim and their families. Instead of punishing victims, states should be more concerned with punishingbad doctors. Tort reforms like caps on damages and other limitations on the right to trial effectively underwrite negligent conduct. How many more patients will suffer at the hands of negligent doctors like Dr. Chiu? no dataUntil patient safety is the first and only priority of health care providers, a lawsuit is the only vehicle to achieve punishment for wrongdoing and prevention from further misconduct. It is time to stop protecting those who continue to provide substandard care.

Advanced yellowing or browning of the lens can lead to difficulty distinguishing between shades of colon. The first eye needs to heal. You and your surgeon will discuss which implant lens type and power is the right choice for you. To prevent further complications, you should follow all your doctor’s instructions—take all medication as directed, show up to all follow-up appointments, limit activities such as swimming, and as noted above, avoid bending over, lifting heavy objects, and rubbing or touching your eyes. http://advisingeyedoc.austinrockets.org/2016/08/08/people-who-snore-are-not-resting-their-bodies-and-minds-and-will-thus-be-more-prone-to-fatigue-and-exhaustion-during-the-day/Some medications and supplements can increase your risk of cataract surgery complications and might need to be discontinued prior to surgery.

{ "original": "I started my career as a Master student in the year 2001 at the Laboratory of Functional Morphology (Department of Biology) of the University of Antwerp, Belgium (supervised by Prof. Anthony Herrel and Prof. Peter Aerts). I studied the consequences of the drastically increased size of the jaw muscles in different species of African air‐breathing catfish (Clariidae) on the mechanics of their feeding apparatus. I continued my work on this topic as a PhD-student, combining experimental work (high‐speed video, X‐ray video, in‐vitro contractile property measurements of muscles) with mathematical modelling. I defended my PhD-thesis in May 2006. More information on my PhD-thesis can be found on this page.\nI successfully applied for the competitive post‐doctoral fellowships of the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders (FWO‐Vl) to continue to work as a researcher at the University of Antwerp (2006‐2012). Funding obtained from the FWO-Vl and from the Special Research Fund of the University of Antwerp for laboratory equipment and expenses enabled me to establish a working set-up and several protocols for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling in the Functional Morphology Lab in Antwerp (3D laser scanning, mesh construction, ANSYS Fluent CFD software usage). Following, I worked as a post‐doctoral assistant at the lab of Evolutionary Morphology of Vertebrates at Ghent University (2012‐2015). During this time, I conducted five main projects:\n- I studied the biomechanics of prey capture in Syngnathidae, the group of specialized suction feeding fish which includes pipefishes and seahorses. I used experimental quantifications of muscle activity and cranial kinematics together with mechanical models to unravel the mechanics behind their extremely fast capture of prey. This also allowed me to formulate an adaptive explanation for the horse‐like shape of seahorses. Together with Peter Aerts, I was the promoter of the PhD-thesis of Gert Roos (December 2010).\n- I acquired the mathematical modelling skills of CFD in ANSYS Fluent software and introduced it as a tool for studying the interaction between feeding animals and their aquatic environment to the field of functional morphology of feeding in vertebrates. This work included CFD-models of aquatic snakes striking at their prey, rotating pipefish and seahorse heads, the expanding heads of suction-feeding fishes, giant salamanders, and newts. In addition, this technique combined with force measurements in a flow tank performed by my collaborators from the University of Groningen allowed me to determine the hydrodynamic performance of the carapace of boxfish, a model system for the design of cars and underwater vehicles.\n- My doctoral student Krijn Michel and I studied the biomechanics of terrestrial feeding in a range of amphibious fishes (mudskippers, four‐eyed fish, reedfish) to better understand the changes that are needed for ancestrally aquatic vertebrates to terrestrialize. This work featured the spectacular discovery that mudskippers use a hydrodynamic tongue during feeding on land. Krijn’s PhD thesis was defended successfully in October 2015.\n- I studied how Nile tilapias (a cichlid fish species) mouthbrood their eggs. These fishes take a massive amount of fertilized eggs into their enlarged mouth cavity, and provide them with flows of fresh water. I described how they generated these flows, and what the drawbacks are of their enlarged head on hydrodynamic resistance during swimming.\n- Using multibody-dynamics simulation (SimMechanics for Matlab Simulink), I studied the dynamics of beak movement during singing in the Java finch. This is a model species for the group of Darwin’s finches, one of the best examples of evolutionary divergence in morphology due to dietary specialisation. The simulations showed mechanical principles that may be responsible for the trade-off in the performance of the bird’s feeding system and the beak’s function during singing. Further analyses are planned to improve our understanding of the dynamics of beak movement in songbirds, and what the implications are for the evolution of Darwin's finches.\nIn 2016 I was granted funding by the French Agence National De La Recherche (ANR) to lead a 3-year project on the biomechanics of intra-oral flow generation in fishes (IOFLOW) at the Museum of National History (MNHN) in Paris. A page dedicated on this project can be found here on this website.\nDuring the years, I have participated in teaching at the University of Antwerp, Hasselt, and Gent. This ranged from small, specialized practical courses to Master students in Biology (electromyography, computational fluid dynamics, vertebrate embryology) to general introductory courses on diversity and functional morphology of deuterostome animals to Bachelor students in biological, biomedical, and biotechological sciences." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999878, "variety": "original" }

{ "original": "Tuscany isn’t a destination so much as it as a feast for the senses. Your eyes marvel at the rolling landscape. Medieval fortresses crown successive ridgelines. You taste cured meats, pecorino; pappardelle with salty olives, sprigs of fresh basil and dried oregano mingle on your palate. You nose notes of sour cherry, red pepper, balsamic. It’s coming from the glass in your hand. In it is Brunello di Montalcino, one of the region’s signature red wines, fermented from the rugged Sangiovese grape which proliferates here. There are more than 200 producers in existence, majority of them participate in the annual Benvenuto Brunello festival in mid-February–when the most recent vintage goes to bottle.\nWith so much stimuli competing for your attention, Podere Le Ripi is combining them all like no other. The operation started by Italian coffee scion Francesco Illy is one of Montalcino’s only certified biodynamic wineries. It’s also home to one of the area’s only vineyard cooking classes. If you’re lucky (and wise) enough to reserve the “Garden Experience” here, prepare yourself for sensory overload.\nThe unique wine and food program on offer here is the result of a friendship between winemaker Sebastian Nasello and Simone Amorico, co-founder of luxury travel service Access Italy. “It started three years ago when I met Sebastian in my Rome office,” Amorico recalls. “We were introduced by a mutual friend and I was looking for an authentic winemaking experience that my clients could appreciate.” Working with exclusive clientele, including Hollywood A-listers, Amorico needed to avoid the overtly commercial atmosphere found at an increasing number of Montalcino tasting rooms. Upon visiting Podere Le Ripi, he was immediately drawn to its rustic vibe and earthy ethos. The vineyard’s makeshift helicopter landing pad didn’t hurt, either.\nBut it took time for a formal program to emerge. “Our first year working together, we would just have a wine tasting and head elsewhere for lunch,” says Amorico. “Clients kept asking me for cooking classes, so Sebastian decided to create an alfresco kitchen directly above the cellars.” That’s when all the puzzle pieces finally fit together. Since the property already held an organic garden and working farm, guests could now build an entire Italian feast, all on-site. Given a penchant for playfulness, Amorico and Nasello were determined to have a little fun with it.\n“The cooking classes are done at lunch or in late afternoon, early evening,” Amorico explains. “Since Montalcino is a city of many farmers, we dress the clients in boots, shirt, hats, gloves–to make them look the part. They pick and choose fruits and vegetables from the farm and check with Sebastian to see what foods will work with which wines.” It’s less buttoned-up affair and more light-hearted learning experience.\nThe scene goes down in a brand new kitchen, set atop a nautilus-like edifice. Under your feet is Podere Le Ripi’s gracefully-rendered aging facility, spiraling deep into the limestone earth below. Inside steel and concrete storage containers solemnly guard red liquid that will one day transform into the brand’s flagship labels, including Bonsai and the bold, beautifulLupi E Sirene. Nasello is also experimenting with an orange wine which he intends to bottle this spring.\nWhile you cook your meal, you are tasted on some of the more spectacular vintages that have emerged here–the 2005 being among the most elegant expressions of Brunello on the market today. Sip and savor while admiring the setting: a river valley drops steeply at your feet, giving way to the horizon and revealing the hilltop profile of Montepulciano in the distance.\n“This is authentic. This is local,” Amorico says of the experience. “This is Tuscany.”\nBook your visit\nFill the form and we will contact you soon!" }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": 17, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": true, "is_duplicate_source": null, "original_index": 3886046, "variety": "original" }

{ "original": "By Mike Paradise\nIn Major League baseball when a player goes down with a season ending injury he’s put on the Disabled List, his manager says “next up” and a another player is expected to step up and do a good job filling-in for his incapacitated teammate.\nThe same can be presumed in harness racing.\nIt certainly was for the Mike Brink Stable. His star ICF 2-year-old trotter Vic’s Pizza suffered a season-ending injury in the Sept. 9th leg of the Kadabra stake series and last Saturday stable-mate Illinimight stepped up big-time, pulling off an upset in the fourth leg of the series with Brink in the bike.\n“Illinimight has been getting better and better and I told the guys if they messed up on the race track this horse could end up beating them,” said Brink.\nWith Vic’s Pizza, the winner of both the Springfield and Du Quoin championship in the ICF freshman make trotting division on the sidelines, Illinimight took advantage of some “messing up” by the series favorite’s True Detective and Cruzen Cassi, and notched his maiden victory in his tenth season start.\nFirst Cruzen Cassi started running soon after the start, although he did come back to be a game second in last Saturday’s Kadabra. Then the heavy favorite True Detective went off-stride on the lead coming into the stretch, creating an opportunity for Illinimight, and the Cassi gelding took advantage of it for Arthur, Illinois owner, Kevin Miller.\n“Illinimight has gotten good at the right time,” continued his Springfield based conditioner. “Anything can happen in a trot race, especially with 2-year-olds. We’ll just see how things play out in the final. Vic’s Pizza broke a sesamoid (bone) in his Kadabra race, so he’s done for this year. That’s too bad because I thought he was as good as any trotter in his division. We’ll do what’s necessary to get him healed-up and ready for his 3-year-old season.”\nBesides Illinimight Brink has eight other horses going postward in Saturday’s Night of Champions finals. Don’t be surprised if one or more of them of them steps-up and hits a home run for their injured stable-mate.\nA Winning Promotion: When was the last time a Chicago circuit race track gave out over $16,000 on a single night to some of its patrons? I’m not talking about some giveaways of dusty left-overs from its storage room. I’m asking about real greenbacks and over $16,000 of it at that.\nCan’t remember? I can’t either.\nSuffice it to say it’s been a long, long time, but that all changed last Saturday when some lucky Hawthorne patrons cashed-in, and in a big way, on the track’s “Fantasy Horse Owner” marketing gem.\nI’ll let Hawthorne’s Publicity Director Jim Miller fill you in on this unique and highly successful on-track promotion:\n“The premise of the ‘Fantasy Horse Owner’ contest was to draw some interest in the week leading up to Night of Champions by drawing some new fans to the track through our social media platform. The contest was free to enter through our Facebook page, as we randomly drew four winners. After reaching out to our winners, three replied and came out with friends and family Saturday night. We treated them to dinner, a visit to the paddock, and rides in the starting car. For the contest, each contestant was given one of the $16,000 (stake series) legs to choose their horse from. Whatever the horse earned, was the amount the winner earned. Unfortunately, for the first contestant, their horse broke at the top of the lane, but we still gave them $500 for the contest. The remaining two winners chose the winner, so each got $8,000. Overall we gave away $16,500. The contest was a big hit! I fully expect we will do more of this in the future. It drew new fans to the track and each said they will return this upcoming weekend.”\nKudos to Hawthorne for spending the kind of dough they did in a genuine effort to get new people to the race track.\nWhat I saw last Saturday, were good-size groups of people in the Hawthorne’s winner’s circle for some contest legs having a great time. They no doubt went and told their friends of their fun-filled and rewarding evening at the races.\nAnd that’s the best kind of promotion or advertising for any business." }	{ "base": null, "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999887, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "The United States Department of State has taken the extraordinary step of ordering the closure of Palestine’s representative office in Washington DC.\nIn a press release, the State Department said that the Trump administration determined that the mission of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), which is the internationally-recognizes body representing Palestinians, would be shut down as a result of a lack of steps taken by the PLO to advance meaningful negotiations with Israel.\n“[T]he PLO has not taken steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel. To the contrary, PLO leadership has condemned a U.S. peace plan they have not yet seen and refused to engage with the U.S. government with respect to peace efforts and otherwise,” said the State Department in the press release published on 10 September 2018.\n“As such, and reflecting Congressional concerns, the Administration has decided that the PLO office in Washington will close at this point. This decision is also consistent with Administration and Congressional concerns with Palestinian attempts to prompt an investigation of Israel by the International Criminal Court.”\nDespite the decision, which has been strongly condemned by Palestinian leaders, the United States clarified that it is “not retreating from…efforts to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace”.\nPLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat said that the decision to close the mission, which comes after the US cut all funding to UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), is a dangerous escalation.\n“This dangerous escalation shows that the US is willing to disband the international system in order to protect Israeli crimes and attacks against the land and people of Palestine as well as against peace and security in the rest of our region,” said Erekat in a statement.\nThe decision to shut the mission, which first opened in 1994, is likely to anger many in the Middle East, including Egypt which is one of the key countries mediating between the Israelis and Palestinians.\nAn Egyptian Foreign Ministry source said that the decision to close the mission further hinders attempts to achieve a solution to the long-lasting conflict.\nEarlier this week, Egypt criticized the US decision to cut funding for UNRWA, which provides a number of humanitarian services to Palestinians.\nForeign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid said in a statement that Egypt is deeply concerned about the humanitarian conditions Palestinian refugees face, adding that restrictions on UNRWA prevent it from fulfilling vital and necessary humanitarian work.\nMeanwhile, on Monday, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met with UNRWA’s Commissioner-General and stressed Cairo’s continued support of UNRWA and its efforts.\nEgypt’s efforts to broker peace between Israel and Palestine were renewed in the past two years, with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi keen to achieve a solution that appeases all sides." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999888, "variety": "original" }

{ "original": "After a few months in the fermenters it was finally time to bottle the Sparkling wine. I bought a fresh case of 12 new bottles from the supply store, while the ole’ lady was drinking a few bottles so I we could get the 15 we needed. Which also means I’m able to follow directions because the instructions said we would get 15 bottles and thats exactly what we got!\nThe wine looked nice and clear in the secondary fermentor. We were careful not to suck up any of the yeast sediment when racking it to the bottling bucket, where the priming sugar was already waiting. I had boiled some water and added the priming sugar to get it all dissolved so it would mix in with the wine easier. Now the residual yeast in the wine will consume the sugar we just added and give our bubbly the bubbles.\nChristmas and New Years is fast approaching, Buying and that is the projected date for this Sparkling wine to be ready to drink. Upon bottling it need about 4-6 weeks to properly carbonate, but with the colder temperatures we have it may take just a bit longer. So to be save I’ll wait 2 months and then pop a cork.\nWith nothing better to do, other than sip a few cold ones, we decided to boil up a batch of beer on saturday night. And it just so happened that they had some good Brewer’s Best kits on sale at the local home brew store. We choose to try our hand at a Bock kit as these are traditionaly brewed in winter and then ready to consume for spring festivities. I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with some reason to party in the spring, provided there is some of this beer left.\nIn the past I’ve used several different kits from Brewer’s Best, and always had good results. Like most of their kits this one is a mix between extract and grain brewing. It took us just over 2.5 hours from the time we started cleaning the equipment to when the beer was cool enough to put into the primary. My plan is to let it sit in the primary for a week or so, then rack into a secondary for a few weeks.\nBottled this new batch of Triple beer on 10-10-10. This was a simple extract kit from Brewferm. 1 3.3lb can of the liquid malt extract will make a .5 gallon batch of beer. So naturally I used 2 cans of the extract to make a 5 gallon batch of beer. The recipe from the can is quite simple, add the extract syrup and water to your primary fermentor and then the stated amount of sugar. For a little added zip I used some brown sugar and honey along with the normal corn sugar. This should produce a quite high original gravity which in turn will make a rather high alcohol content. The can from Brewtherm stated an O.G of 1.075 and 8% alcohol although my numbers were just a touch lower.\nUpon bottling the beer had real nice carmely color, and tasted a bit sweet. Per the instructions that came with the beer It should be allowed to mature for 6-8 weeks before drinking the freshly bottled beer. This extended maturation period should help it develop some body along with building carbonation. Only time will tell, and I am definitly anxious to crack one!\nThis is the Degassing step on our “New Millennium” Sparkling wine. This is a 3 gallon kit from Wine expert, and is very simple. The wine has already been in the Primary fermenter and then racked to a secondary. It has now been sitting in the secondary for about 10 days, after being in the primary for a little over 3 weeks. Now we just have to wait appoximately 2 weeks for the wine to clear before bottling. I hope to bottle at the end of October, which will the give the wine about 2 months to bottle condition before we crack one open on New Years Eve." }	{ "base": null, "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999891, "variety": "original" }

(You may remember our post about Circular Economy http://steamgreen.unibo.it/2016/06/18/closing-the-loop-the-new-circle-starts-now/)\nThis year the University of Bologna involved some students that had the possibility to present different case studies at the workshop “Circular economy for Small and Medium Enterprises”. The works presented were developed on the basis of the European project CESME that promotes the Circular Economy involving businesses located in the region Emilia-Romagna and the European territory more in general.\nThe three case studies presented the recent “good-practices” adopted by Hera, ILPA S.p.a. and Mapei S.p.a., in the Circular Economy framework.\nHera is an Italian multi utility operating in 265 cities as energy services supplier; ILPA S.p.a based near Bologna, manufactures and develops sustainable thermoformed plastic and food-farming packages, exporting worldwide; Mapei S.p.a is a worldwide producer of chemical products for buildings, with 7500 employers, in 28 countries.\nSome of us had also the opportunity to meet with the management personnel of the business presented, acquiring essential information to presentation held at Ecomondo.\nThe workshop also saw the interaction by Marino Cavallo from Città metropolitana di Bologna e Enrico Cancila, ERVET and our Degree Programm Director Prof. Elettra Agliardi.\nSmall and medium enterprises are the most present on the EU territory and the Circular Economy is a great opportunity to innovate the business process, achieving competitiveness. However, there still exists some barriers that make difficult a complete integration of the Circular Economy withn the small and medium businesses.\nIn conclusion, the works presented by our students it has been welcomed with great enthusiasm and we invite future students to take part in the coming initiative promoted by the University of Bologna." }	{ "base": "original", "context": "original", "copy_index": 17, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": true, "is_duplicate_source": null, "original_index": 700283, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "A new study finds that Democrats perform better in counties where the economy is dominated by recreation. But they still lose.\nA new report on the most recent presidential elections argues that rural America isn’t “an undifferentiated bastion of strength for Republicans.”\nBelow the surface, there’s more diversity in the rural vote, the report says.\nBut you have to know where to look. And even when you find it, Democrats aren’t winning. They are just losing by a smaller margin.\nThe study by Dante J. Scala and Kenneth M. Johnson with the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire looked at the rural vote by the type of economic activity that dominated a county.\nThey found that while only about a quarter of voters in farming counties picked Obama in 2012, the number rose to about 42 percent in rural counties where the recreation industry dominated the economy.\nRepublicans still won by a landslide in recreation counties. But for Democrats – who lost four out of every five rural counties in 2012, according to an analysis by Bill Bishop – the better showing in recreation counties may seem like good news, at least in the future.\nRecreation counties are places with cliffs to scale, rivers to paddle, or mountains to climb. And, more to the point, these counties tend to have young people who want to take advantage of those opportunities, either for their own enjoyment or to make a living.\nIn contrast, farming counties have been losing young people in recent decades.\n“Most [farming counties] have experienced decades of migration loss, particularly of the young adults who have been among President Obama’s strongest supporters,” the report said.\nRecreation counties also have other demographic factors that favor Democrats.\n“Residents of recreational counties tend to be wealthier, better educated, and are significantly more likely to reflect liberal stances than their peers in other rural areas,” the report says.\nThe trend may become more important in the future, if recreation counties continue to attract new residents, who are more likely to vote Democratic.\n“Both the population and political influence of recreational counties in national elections are likely to increase given their appeal to the 70 million baby boomers who will retire in the next two decades,” the report said.\nRecreation counties are home to about 16 percent of the rural population, and the size of that population has grown by a third in the past 20 years. In contrast, farm counties have 6 percent of the rural U.S. population and have grown by only 5 percent in the last 20 years, according to the report.\n“Recreational and farm counties represent two poles that serve to underscore the political differences within rural America,” the report says." }	{ "base": "original", "context": null, "copy_index": null, "degenerate": "original", "duplicate": "original", "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999892, "variety": "original" }
{ "original": "I didn’t know whether to take my Ph.D. adviser’s remark as a compliment. “You don’t write like a scientist,” he said, handing me back the progress report for a grant that I had written for him. In my dream world, tears would have come to his eyes, and he would have squealed, “You write like a poet!”\nIn reality, though, he just frowned. He had meant it as a criticism. I don’t write like a scientist, and apparently that’s bad.\nI asked for an example, and he pointed to a sentence on the first page. “See that word?” he said. “Right there. That is not science.”\nThe word was “lone,” as in “PvPlm is the lone plasmepsin in the food vacuole of Plasmodium vivax.” It was a filthy word. A non-scientific word. A flowery word, a lyrical word, a word worthy of -- ugh -- an MFA student.\nI hadn’t meant the word to be poetic. I had just used the word “only” five or six times, and I didn’t want to use it again. But in his mind, “lone” must have conjured images of PvPlm perched on a cliff’s edge, staring into the empty chasm, weeping gently for its aspartic protease companions. Oh, the good times they shared. Afternoons spent cleaving scissile bonds. Lazy mornings decomposing foreign proteins into their constituent amino acids at a nice, acidic pH. Alas, lone plasmepsin, those days are gone.\nSo I changed the word to “only.” And it hurt. Not because “lone” was some beautiful turn of phrase but because of the lesson I had learned: Any word beyond the expected set -- even a word as tame and innocuous as “lone” -- apparently doesn’t belong in science.\nUsing the first person in your writing humanizes your work. If possible, therefore, you should avoid using the first person in your writing.\nI’m still fairly new at this science thing. I’m less than 4 years beyond the dark days of grad school and the adviser who wouldn’t tolerate “lone.” So forgive my naïveté when I ask: Why the hell not?\nWhy can’t we write like other people write? Why can’t we tell our science in interesting, dynamic stories? Why must we write dryly? (Or, to rephrase that last sentence in the passive voice, as seems to be the scientific fashion, why must dryness be written by us?)\nI once taught two different college science writing classes in back-to-back semesters. The first was mainstream science writing; the students had fun finding interesting research projects and writing about them. One student visited a lab where scientists who were building a new submarine steering mechanism let her practice steering a model sub around a little tank. Another subjected himself to an fMRI and wrote about the experience.\nBut the second semester was science writing for scientists, in which they learned how to write scientific journal articles -- and it was a lot less fun. “Keep it interesting!” I told my students during the first semester. To my second-semester students, I said, “Well, you're not really supposed to keep it interesting.”\nWe’re taught that scientific journal articles are just plain different from all other writing. They're not written in English per se; they're written in a minimalist English intended merely to convey numbers and graphs. As such, they have their own rules. For example:\n1. Scientific papers must begin with an obligatory nod to their own relevance, usually by citing exaggerated figures about disease prevalence or other impending disasters. If your research does not actually address one of these issues, pretend it does, because hey, that didn’t stop you on the grant application. For example, you might write, “Twenty million children die of scabies every day. OMG we built a robot kangaroo!”\n2. Using the first person in your writing humanizes your work. If possible, therefore, you should avoid using the first person in your writing. Science succeeds in spite of human beings, not because of us, so you want to make it look like your results magically discovered themselves.\n3. Some journals, such as Science, officially eschew the passive voice. Others print only the passive voice. So find a healthy compromise by writing in semi-passive voice.\nACTIVE VOICE: We did this experiment.\nPASSIVE VOICE: This experiment was done by us.\nSEMI-PASSIVE VOICE: Done by us, this experiment was.\nYes, for the semi-passive voice, you’ll want to emulate Yoda. Yoda, you’ll want to emulate.\n4. The more references you include, the more scholarly your reader will assume you are. Thus, if you write a sentence like, “Much work has been done in this field,” you should plan to spend the next 9 hours tracking down papers so that your article ultimately reads, “Much work has been done in this field1,3,6-27,29-50,58,61,62-65,78-315,952-Avogadro’s Number.” If you ever write a review article, EndNote might explode.\n5. Grammar textbooks contain elaborate rules about when to use numerals and when to write out numbers. But numbers are really the only reason you’re writing your paper, and you don’t want readers to think you’re into something as lame as words. So make sure every single number is written in its numeral form -- otherwise, 1 day, you’ll awake 2 find that you’re 4got10.\n6. Most journals use the past tense. To add flair to your writing, try writing your entire article in the Third Conditional Progressive Interrogative tense. Instead of, “We did this experiment,” you’d write, “Would we have been doing this experiment?” This may seem more convoluted than simple writing, but your article probably won’t be any less comprehensible than most other scientific journal articles.\n7. Always write “we” instead of “I,” even if you performed the research yourself; the plural ensures that no feelings will be hurt when credit is attributed. For example, “We investigated these results, but then we had to use the bathroom, which is where we sat when our spouse called.”\n8. Remember your audience. It consists primarily of graduate students who, 10 years from now, will include your paper in their own voluminous collection of superscripted references. So remember them, and make your name easy to spell.\n9. Starting sentences with “obviously” or “as everyone knows” demonstrates your intellectual superiority. If possible, start sentences with, “As super-intelligent beings like myself know,” or “Screw your stupidity; here’s a fact-bomb for you.”\n10. Your paper will be peer reviewed, so include flattering descriptions of all of your peers. Scientists call these “shout-outs” or “mad props.”\n11. Too many results are reported using SI units. (For those unaware, “SI” stands for “Sports Illustrated,” and it is a system of measurement using units like RBI, Y/A, and, once a year, cup sizes.) Liven up your results by reporting them in furlongs, chaldrons, and fluid scruples.\n12. If you’re co-authoring a paper, most of your notoriety will derive from the order of authors and not from the content of your paper -- so make sure to have vehement and petty debates about whose name goes first. Here are the general rules for authorship:\nFIRST AUTHOR: Weary graduate student who spent hours doing the work.\nSECOND AUTHOR: Resentful graduate student who\nTHIRD AUTHOR: Undergraduate just happy to be named.\nFOURTH AUTHOR: Collaborator no one has ever met whose name is only included for political reasons.\nFIFTH AUTHOR: Postdoctoral fellow who once made a chance remark on the subject.\nSIXTH AUTHOR: For some reason, Vladimir Putin.\nLAST AUTHOR: Principal investigator whose grant funded the project but who hasn’t stood at a lab bench in decades, except for that one weird photo shoot for some kind of pamphlet, and even then it was obvious that he or she didn’t know where to find basic things.\nMany scientists see writing as a means to an end, the packing peanuts necessary to cushion the data they want to disperse to the world. They hate crafting sentences as much as they hate, say, metaphors about packing peanuts.\nBut there’s a reason scientific journal articles tend to be dry, and it’s because we’re writing them that way. We hope that the data constitutes an interesting story all by itself, but we all know it usually doesn’t. It needs us, the people who understand its depth and charm, to frame it and explain it in interesting ways.\nThis is, in fact, one of the most appealing aspects of science: We’re more than just the people who push the pipette buttons. We’re advocates who get to construct and tell the stories about our science. I can’t think of a better lone career." }	{ "base": null, "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999893, "variety": null }

{ "original": "When the world’s major powers struck a deal over Iran’s nuclear program in Vienna in July, it represented a victory not just for the Islamic Republic, which has now been granted international legitimacy as a nuclear threshold state, but also for a small but increasingly influential lobby in America, one which has long sought rapprochement between Washington and Tehran and now seeks to leverage a successfully concluded nuclear deal as a means to that end.\nThis Iran lobby, publicly represented by the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), has become a staunch institutional ally of the White House selling the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the nuclear deal is known. But while NIAC has done the heavy-lifting—the ad-buying, the leafleting, and congressional meet-and-greets, all designed to sell lawmakers on the Iran deal—its political efforts also underwrite the economic interests of one very well connected but low-profile Iranian family, the Namazis, who played a key role as intellectual architects of NIAC.\nLittle known to the American press, the Namazis have rarely acted as spokespersons for their own cause. In fact, attempts to reach various members of the family for comment on this story were met with increasing levels of hostility and threats of legal action. Yet in many ways, the Namazi clan is the perfect embodiment of Iranian power politics, at least as it has played out among the Iranian diaspora.\nNor did they begin their rise to prominence as supporters of the Islamic Revolution. Mohammad Bagher Namazi, also known as Baquer Namazi, is the patriarch of the family and formerly the governor under the Shah of the oil-rich Iranian province of Khuzestan. Despite his relationship with the ancien régime, Baquer Namazi was not persecuted by the Khomeinists after they seized power in 1979, and he and his family were allowed to emigrate in 1983 to the United States. There he raised two well-educated and Americanized sons, Babak and Siamak, while his niece, Pari Namazi, married Bijan Khajehpour, another Iranian expatriate.\nThe 1980s were the years of the fiery-eyed Ayatollah Khomeini and Iran’s ferocious war with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Iranian-backed terrorism in Lebanon included the bombing of the U.S. embassy and the Marine barracks there, while Iranian “hit teams” hunted down and murdered opponents of the regime in exile. Iran’s Hezbollah clients kidnapped Europeans and Americans, and in the Irangate scandal the Reagan administration was exposed trading weapons systems for hostages. Afterward it effectively went to war against Iran on the waters of the Gulf, and in the process blew an Iranian civilian airliner out of the sky. There seemed no possibility of improved relations between Washington and the theocracy in Tehran. But after the Iran-Iraq war ended in 1988 and Khomeini died in 1989, new possibilities for rapprochement—and huge deals for international companies—started to emerge.\nDoing serious business in Iran has always required some measure of political protection. The Islamic Republic is a web of rival economic interests. Broadly speaking, the three largest are those tied through various semi-clandestine fronts to Khomeini’s successor as “supreme leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; those linked to the regime’s praetorian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC); and those associated with Iran’s president, who may hold the most conspicuous position in the country’s political life, but whose official powers are limited. Typically, to get things moving in the mire of Iran’s notorious bureaucracy, businesses have to have connections in one or more of these groups.\nFrom 1989 to 1997, the president of Iran was Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, known as “the Shark,” an Iranian reference to a beardless man. He was also famous for getting rid of his rivals and political competitors one by one, like a great white shark. In addition, Rafsanjani had a reputation for corruption and taking advantage of power.\nIn this environment of increased willingness to do business with the West, the stage was set for a return of the Namazis. In 1993, Pari Namazi and her husband, Bijan Khajehpour, founded a company in Tehran called Atieh Bahar Consulting (AB). It offered a range of legal and industrial services to foreign enterprises, most importantly the access it provided to the regime, and the advice it dispensed on how best to navigate the vagaries of the regime’s entrenched factions and competitive interests.\nNamazis, of course, had every reason to want to bring them back.\nAtieh Bahar Consultancy had aligned itself with Rafsanjani’s faction early on by forging an especially close relationship with Rafsanjani’s influential son, Mehdi.\nFrom 1993 to 2005, Mehdi Hashemi was employed at the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), the state-owned entity that controls almost all oil and gas production in a country that has the world’s largest gas reserves and third-largest oil reserves.\nBut Mehdi Hashemi brought serious problems to the relationship. In 2004, Norway’s Statoil was caught paying bribes to a prominent Iranian official usingthe company Horton Investment, an entity run by a Mehdi Hashemi confidant, as intermediary. Hashemi would later be imprisoned for his complicity in the bribery, along with two other charges, and ordered to pay a total of $10.4 million; $5.2 million of the bribe money, plus an additional $5.2 million in fines. Abbas Yazdanpanah Yazdi, a confidant of Hashemi, meanwhile, was allegedly kidnapped in the UAE in 2013 and has since “disappeared.”\nThe scandal came just as the elder Rafsanjani was plotting a presidential comeback in the 2005 elections, and it gave substance to the rumors of corruption that always swirled around him and his son. (Mehdi Hashemi denied the Statoil bribery allegation and said it was designed to hurt his father’s reputation.) He managed to make it into the second and final round, but finally lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who staked out a position as a “clean” populist who would give money to the poor and who didn’t give a damn about foreign business interests.\nAfter Ahmadinejad came into office, the nuclear cloud grew much darker.\nIn 2003, the United States had led the invasion and occupation of neighboring Iraq, eliminating Iran’s old enemy Saddam Hussein to be sure that he had no weapons of mass destruction. And, as it turned out, by then he did not. A few months earlier in 2002, however, Israeli intelligence turned up evidence that Iran, a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, had developed a secret uranium enrichment operation at a site called Natanz. (The first public airing of this intelligence came from a militant Iranian dissident group that had been nurtured by Saddam Hussein.)\nThis did not distract from the march to war with Iraq, but a few months later Iran was declared in material breach of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), and, under threat of heightened sanctions, a process of negotiations began between Iran and the European Union to limit the nascent enrichment program. At the time Iran had only 160 of the centrifuges needed to enrich uranium, and thousands would be required to get it to the point where it could produce fissile material for a bomb. U.S. intelligence estimates eventually concluded “with high confidence” that the Iranians also had a secret nuclear weapons program, in addition to enrichment, but shut it down in the fall of 2003.\nWhen Ahmadinejad took over in 2005, he ditched all pretense of willingness to compromise over Iran’s “peaceful” nuclear program, an intransigence that led Western countries to tighten sanctions, making foreign investment ever more difficult. And what was worse for AB and the Namazis, Ahmadinejad went after his political rivals, particularly the Rafsanjani faction, with a vengeance. Mehdi Hashemi, naturally, was a prominent target. Ahmadinejad barred him from conducting any business in relation to Iran’s oil and gas sector. Ten years later, the courts actually sentenced him to a collective 25 years—and 50 lashes—in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison for all three charges against him including the Statoil corruption case. In reality, he will only serve 10 years.\nAB needed to shore up new alliances and bide its time. Co-founder Bijan Khajehpour worked for a leading Iranian politician named Hassan Rouhani who had served under the Khatami government as Iran’s nuclear negotiator. Rouhani also was the president of a think tank called the Center for Strategic Research (CSR). But relations with Iran in the middle of the last decade were almost as bleak as they had been after the 1979 hostage crisis and the grim terror and counter-terror campaigns of the 1980s.\nBy 2006, Iran, was in effect at war with the U.S. in Iraq. The Revolutionary Guards’s expeditionary Quds Force led by Qasem Soleimani had been training, financing, and arming Shia militias killing U.S. soldiers.\nMoreover, the West was growing more alarmed about Iran’s nuclear program, which it seemed powerless to stop. Ahmadinejad had declared the resumption of uranium enrichment “irreversible” just as the country’s nuclear scientists had mastered the fuel cycle. He’d appointed conservative Ali Larijani as chief negotiator with the European Union (before Iran withdrew from talks altogether), and he said he’d “wipe [his] nose” on international sanctions.\nA war with Iran, most likely started by Israel with the United States drawn in, began to seem possible, then probable, and almost inevitable. The International Atomic Energy Agency referred Iran to the UN Security Council for action, forcing it to curtail its nuclear activities.\nOut of this dark morass, the Namazis struggled to keep alive hopes of rapprochement and trade while avoiding a war at all costs. And by then they had in place the architecture for convincing a war-weary U.S. policy establishment that not only was avoiding a military confrontation with Iran possible, but the Islamic Republic was really just a friend America had yet to make.\nIn November 1999, when Khatami was still president, Siamak Namazi got together with a Swedish-Iranian expat named Trita Parsi at a conference in Cyprus. The conference, titled, “Dialogue and Action Between the People of Iran and America,” was convened jointly by the Centre for World Dialogue, a Cypriot non-governmental organization, and by Hamyaran, an Iranian non-governmental resource center for other NGOs, which was chaired by Mohammad Bagher Namazi, the family patriarch. Namazi fils and Parsi there presented an influential white paper (PDF), “Iran-Americans: The bridge between two nations,” which called for three steps to ameliorate U.S.-Iranian relations in advance of reconciliation:\n- Hold “seminars in lobbying for Iranian-American youth and intern opportunities in Washington DC.”\n- Increase “awareness amongst Iranian-Americans and Americans about the effects of sanctions, both at home and in Iran.”\n- End “the taboo of working for a new approach on Iran”—i.e., end the then-two-decade-old U.S. policy of containment.\nNamazi and Parsi wrote that “the fear of coming across as a lackey of the Iranian regime is still prohibiting many Iranian Americans from fully engaging in the debate on the future of Iran-U.S. relations.” The way around this, they submitted, was to mobilize the Iranian-American community and enlist “Americans of non-Iranian background” to lessen the adversarial posture of both nations.\nThe white paper led to the creation two years later, in 2001, of NIAC, a Washington, D.C.-based organization which Parsi founded and currently heads. During the formative period preceding NIAC’s launch, Parsi had sought advice and guidance from numerous sources, including and especially Mohammad Bagher, as was disclosed in documents (PDF) obtained during a defamation law suit brought by NIAC and Parsi against one of their most outspoken critics.\nParsi was extremely well-placed to front the Iran lobby. He had obtained adoctorate at Johns Hopkins on a subject intimately tied to the lobby’s central thesis—the relationship between Israel and Iran and how the former hindered the latter’s acceptance in the U.S. He even studied under Francis Fukuyama, a onetime neoconservative policy intellectual who abandoned his ideological comrades when the Iraq war went south. Finally, Parsi had gained valuable political experience on the Hill by working for Republican Congressman Bob Ney, a connection he has not included in his curriculum vitae and official website. (Ney went to jail in 2007 for accepting bribes from mega-lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s Native American casino clients.)\nWhile serving as president of NIAC, Parsi also wrote intelligence briefings as an “affiliate analyst in Washington, D.C.” for AB, focusing on such topics as whether or not the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would revive its anti-Iran campaigning on the eve of the Iraq war, or on efforts by the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MeK), the militant Iranian opposition group that exposed Natanz in 2002 would get itself de-listed as a terrorist entity by the U.S. State Department. Parsi was paid for his work for the consultancy, as disclosed by an email sent from Bijan Khajehpour to him, dated September 22, 2002, an employment that Parsi did not mention when fulsomely praising Khajehpour in The Huffington Post as an ideal Iranian businessman.\nAlthough it has only 5,000 dues-paying members, a mere 1 percent of the estimated 470,000 Iranian-Americans, NIAC’s network of activists and event attendees is said to extend into the tens of thousands. In June of this year, as the Iran deal looked likely, NIAC inaugurated an official “lobbying” arm called NIAC Action registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(4) organization, but for years, internally, the group has described its activities (PDF) as lobbying. NIAC Action is explicitly meant to counter the influence of AIPAC, which has spent millions to block the Iran deal’s passage in Congress by securing a veto-proof bipartisan majority of senators opposed to it—an effort that now appears close to failure.\nSince its founding, NIAC has also proved a useful finishing school for rapprochement-minded Iranian-Americans, many of whom have either come from positions in U.S. government or graduated into them. Its current research director, for instance, is Reza Marashi, an Iranian-American dual national, who worked for Atieh Bahar until 2006 when he landed a job at the U.S. government’s Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University, which acts as a research center for the Pentagon. Marashi then went to work for the Office of Iranian Affairs at the U.S. State Department as a desk officer overseeing Iran democracy and human-rights programs.\nMarashi is very outspoken on social media against any critics of NIAC’s agenda. Along with the rest of his organization’s staff, he has accused Jewish opponents of the Iran deal of being dual loyalists. “Shame on Chuck Schumer for putting #Israel’s interests ahead of America’s interests,” he tweeted after the New York senator’s decision to come out as the senior-most Democrat against the deal.\nGiven the obvious connection between NIAC and the Namazi family, Marashi makes no mention of his job at AB in his biography on NIAC’s official website. Nor did he respond to The Daily Beast’s repeated requests for comment on this story.\nPerhaps NIAC’s most accomplished alum is Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, who is now National Security Council director for Iran in the Obama administration and therefore the top U.S. official for Iran policy, bringing together the various departments of government working on U.S. strategy toward the country. She is also, after the White House principals, one of the leading advisers to President Obama on Iran. No doubt owing to the sensitivity (and influence) of her government role, Nowrouzzadeh has maintained a low profile, but her work at NIAC is publicly available. She drafted one of the organization’s annual reports for 2002-2003 (PDF) and was referred to by Dokhi Fassihian, then executive director, as a “staff member” (DOC). The Obama administration insists that Nowrouzzadeh was only ever an intern with NIAC, and Nowrouzzadeh does not seem eager to play up her affiliation with the group. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has worked at the State Department and the Department of Defense. The profile doesn’t mention NIAC at all.\nSuch inconspicuousness stands in notable contrast to how other Obama administration officials who emerged NIAC’s nemesis—the pro-Israel lobbying establishment—tend to invoke their past credentials as a means of establishing their diplomatic bona fides.\nBut then, Israel is a longtime and “sacrosanct” American ally, as Obama has stated. Iran, on the other hand, has been a pariah state where crowds are encouraged to chant “Death to America.”\nOn NIAC’s website, in its mailings and in media interviews, NIAC rarely criticizes the IRGC or the Quds Force, a U.S.-designated terrorist entity. Parsi characterizes the Iranian regime, of which the Quds Force is the main military enforcer, as a U.S. ally in the war against the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS. But neither he nor NIAC has discussed the Quds Force’s military role in Syria, where it plays a key role in targeting U.S.-backed rebels deemed the best bulwark against both Assad and ISIS and, more broadly, organizing the savage defense of the Assad dynasty, for which several of the Quds Force’s personnel have been sanctioned by the U.S. government.\nNIAC publicly opposes designating the IRGC as a whole as a terrorist entity because doing so would only conform to part of a pattern of failed sanctions, “further entrenching U.S.-Iran relations in a paradigm of enmity.”\nInstead, campaigning against any U.S. sanctions on Iran has been the mainstay of NIAC’s endeavors, and this held even when the Obama administration thought sanctions the most effective way to bring the Iranians back to the negotiating table. NIAC has maintained (PDF) that sanctions have cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of job opportunities.\nParsi’s activism won him praise from the Iranian regime during the very dark days a decade ago. Former ambassador to the United Nations Javad Zarif, who is now the heavily spotlighted foreign minister, wrote to Parsi in 2006, “Your help is always welcome,” and, after catching part of a Parsi interview on the BBC the same year, Zarif called his performance “Great.”\nIn March 2006 (at the height of the covert Iranian war with the U.S. in Iraq), Parsi told a colleague not to worry about a trip to Tehran, “NIAC has a good name in Iran and your association with it will not harm you.” When the colleague was briefly questioned by the regime, then released, he reported back (PDF) to Parsi that he’d been told the reason he was let go was “that they knew NIAC had never done anything seriously bad against the Islamic Republic.”\nIn 2009, Sen. Mark Kirk called NIAC Iranian “Regime Sympathizers” (PDF), stating “they came to Capitol Hill urging members of Congress to cut off U.S. funding for democracy programs in Iran.” NIAC had sought to eliminate the Bush administration’s “Democracy Fund” for programs in Iran, which it saw as nothing more than a vehicle for attempted regime change. NIAC responded to Kirk by calling the $75 million fund a “brainchild” of the Bush administration’s “disastrous Middle East policy,” which aimed to finance Iranian NGOs seeking overthrow the government of Iran.\nAnd NIAC does some name-calling of its own, calling organizations it doesn’t like (i.e., those too critical of the Islamic Republic) “neocon puppets,” andwarmongers. Indeed, it has also tried to define the parameters of acceptable Iranian civil society groups (i.e., ones that never really undermined the regime) bypartnership with Hamyaran, described by NIAC as an “NGO umbrella organization” (PDF). In reality, however, it was conceived as more of a governmental non-governmental organization and launched by those close toIranian President Mohammad Khatami—its board member was Hossein Malek Afzali, a deputy minister in Khatami’s government). By NIAC’s own admission, the organization (PDF) “operates independently, but with the implicit permission of the Iranian government.” Hamyaran’s board of directors was also once chairedby Namazi paterfamilias Mohammed Bagher.\nHamyaran obtained support from the congressionally funded National Endowment for Democracy—as did NIAC, which received Endowment funding in 2002, 2005, and 2006 in the collective amount of close to $200,000. NIACdescribed Hamyaran to the Endowment in 2004 as its “main partner in Iran.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, among those civil society groups selected for NIAC and Hamyaran's “Digital Film Production Workshop Report,” a training program for Iranian activists to learn how to use digital media, were those described as having been “contracted by the Iranian government” or “worked closely with the Iranian government.”\nAs for NIAC, Carl Gershman, the president of the National Endowment for Democracy, told The Daily Beast, “We’re not supporting NIAC now and we have nothing to do with them.”\n“Back then there were people arguing, ‘Try to get into Iran’ and we thought this was a way forward,” Gershman said. “We weren’t aware when these grants were made that NIAC were presenting themselves as a lobby. We didn’t know that. Our effort was to work with emerging space in Iran. We were trying something that might be a way to help people on the inside. But that quickly became unworkable; the grant didn’t work. Then NIAC showed itself as a lobby organization, so we have nothing to do with them anymore. Not every grant works out the way you want it to.” Asked if that meant that NED regretted working with NIAC , Gershman answered: “Yes, I think that’s true.”\nAt the same time it was taking U.S. taxpayer money, NIAC wanted to end U.S. government support for NGOs which categorically opposed the Islamic Republic. In April 2007, NIAC held a strategy meeting with international human-rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW). The HRW representative was himself a former NIAC board member, Hadi Ghaemi, who had (PDF) worked for NIAC in Iran, and then served HRW from 2004 to 2008. During the meeting, according to an email sent by Parsi afterward, Ghaemi “noted that certain groups being funded by the state dept [sic] are covers for regime change and that we need to be careful. Many groups misrepresent themselves as wanting to improve human rights and democracy in Iran.” Ghaemi did not specify which groups. When The Daily Beast contacted Ghaemi via email, he replied that he could not confirm the meeting in question. He was unavailable for further comment after The Daily Beast showed him Parsi’s email asking if that refreshed his memory.\nIn 2008, NIAC made a strategic mistake, waging a not-so-quiet campaign against the Voice of America’s Persian service, a U.S. government-funded broadcast medium. Both NIAC and the Namazis were aggravated by the frequent appearances of Hassan Dai, an Arizona-based Iranian exile, who lambasted NIAC as a regime mouthpiece.\nSiamak Namazi (PDF) called for Dai to be banned from VOA in February 2007. NIAC chief lobbyist Emily Blout petitioned (PDF) Congress in September 2007 for an “independent review” of VOA Persian. After Dai appeared again on VOA in 2009, Parsi (PDF) remarked that its hosting of a NIAC critic “won’t change until the VOA leadership changes.” He was right. Today the editor-in-chief of VOA Persian is Mohammad Manzarpour, a former employee of Atieh Bahar Consultancy.\nBut serious damage to NIAC’s reputation was done, and much of it was self-inflicted. In 2008, Parsi and NIAC had brought a defamation suit against Hassan Dai, alleging that he had made “numerous false and defamatory statements that characterize plaintiffs as agents of the Iranian government.” Parsi and NIAC lost the case in 2012, with the judge rejecting their self-portrayal as critics of Tehran. “That Parsi occasionally made statements reflecting a balanced, shared blame approach is not inconsistent with the idea that he was first and foremost an advocate for the regime,” U.S. District Court Judge John D. Bates (PDF) wrote in his judgment. “After all, any moderately intelligent agent for the Iranian regime would not want to be seen as unremittingly pro-regime, given the regime’s reputation in the United States.”\nNor did NIAC do itself any favors during the trial and on appeal. Three circuit judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals found its behavior (PDF) “dilatory, dishonest, and intransigent” and accused it of engaging in a “disturbing pattern of delay and intransigence. Seemingly at every turn, NIAC and Parsi deferred producing relevant documents, withheld them, or denied their existence altogether. Even worse, the Appellants also misrepresented to the District Court that they did not possess key documents [Dai] sought. Most troublingly, they flouted multiple court orders… A court without the authority to sanction conduct that so plainly abuses the judicial process cannot function.”\nUnsurprisingly, then, NIAC and Parsi lost their appeal and were ordered to pay $183,480.09 in monetary sanctions in February 2015.\n“NIAC and Parsi filed the lawsuit to break me under the financial burdens and silence other critics, but they totally failed,” Dai told The Daily Beast. “The lawsuit, which lasted nearly seven years, showed the deceptive character of an organization that lobbies in favor of the mullahs’ theocratic regime but represents itself as a defender of peace.”\nThe fortunes of the entire Namazi clan waned after 2009, when a popular uprising against Ahmadinejad’s fraudulent re-election was met with murder, mass arrests, and torture.\nBijan Khajehpour was imprisoned because of the struggle raging in the regime between the Supreme Leader and the IRGC on one side, and the Rafsanjani camp on the other. And while praising the Obama administration for not speaking up on behalf of those who resisted the stealing of the 2009 election, the so-called Green Movement, on the grounds that doing so would have only given the regime an excuse to murder and torture more people, Parsi rushed to the defense of his friend and former employer Khajehpour, “who neither participated in the protests nor had any involvement with the opposition” but was instead a “self-made man” and “top-notch consultant drawing the attention of multinational and local firms to investment opportunities in the country.”\nIn The Huffington Post Parsi wrote as an acquaintance or friend of Khajehpour, nowhere disclosing his past business relationship writing reports for Atieh Bahar Consulting.\nKhajehpour subsequently was released from prison and he and his wife, Pari Namazi, moved to Vienna.\nSiamak Namazi also faced harassment after the 2009 election and the subsequent unrest. He left Iran for the United Arab Emirates and is currently the head of Strategic Planning at the UAE-based Crescent Petroleum, an oil and gas company based in Abu Dhabi.\nBusiness in Iran was drying up. Ahmadinejad may have held onto power after he broke the Green Movement, but his drive toward nuclear “self-sufficiency” raised so many alarms that the Obama administration was able to persuade the four other members of the UN Security Council to impose draconian sanctions on the regime. Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets were frozen, and international commerce ground toward a halt.\nThen, in 2013, Khajehpour’s former employer Hassan Rouhani, the former nuclear negotiator, the Rafsanjani-style “pragmatist,” was elected Iran’s new president. The ever affable-seeming former UN ambassador, Javad Zarif, was appointed foreign minister. Suddenly the door looked like it was open wide to a new relationship with the West of just the sort the Iran Lobby had worked for so hard and for so long. Rouhani was avuncular, good-humored, and had made it his goal to open Iran for business, if only the nuclear issue could be dealt with.\nBy the time serious talks with Washington were opened, Ahmadinejad’s nuclear program had built almost 14,000 centrifuges, and Iran was within a year, by some estimates within months, of producing enough fissile material to build a bomb, at least in theory.\nAlthough there was talk in Washington about compelling Iran to dismantle the whole program, there was never really any question of that, and the deal as finally signed merely buys time—pushing Iran’s possibility of producing a potential nuclear weapon back from months to as many as 15 years.\nAs these pieces fell into place in the age of Obama, Parsi and NIAC found themselves in the unlikely position of power brokers. One prominent faction of the Iranian regime—Rafsanjani’s—sees them as convenient conduits for disseminating a pro-Iranian line in U.S. politics, while the “hardline” Iranian security services have classified their activities as benign to the interests of the Islamic Republic.\nThe U.S. government, meanwhile, has adopted many of NIAC’s talking points.Both Parsi and Atieh International, one of the companies in the Atieh Group, were fixtures on the sidelines of the Geneva and Vienna negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran. In fact, Atieh International held a joint briefing with NIAC at the Marriott in Vienna on June 29 to discuss a most pressing topic—renewed economic possibilities for the West once a deal was inked. The speakers were Bijan Khajehpour and Trita Parsi.\nThe Namazis’s alignment with Rafsanjani and Rouhani can now pay off. Because they were attacked so often and sometimes so viciously by “hard liners”—the very Iranian officials the Obama White House claims constitutes the only Iranian opposition to the nuclear deal—the Namazis and NIAC, the think tank and lobby they helped create, have gained great renewed credibility in the West, even promoting the idea that they can liberalize what remains by and large a fanatical theocracy and a fiercely competitive kleptocracy. At the same time, they can present themselves in today’s Iran as the best go-betweens with, well, with the not-so-Great Satan, who loves to listen to their advice.\n— Alex Shirazi is a pseudonym for a well-known Iranian dissident who requested that The Daily Beast keep his identity concealed for fear of what might happen to his family in Iran in retaliation for this article.\nView the article here" }	{ "base": null, "context": "original", "copy_index": null, "degenerate": null, "duplicate": null, "is_duplicate_copy": null, "is_duplicate_source": false, "original_index": 3999896, "variety": null }

General, administrative and selling expenses amounted to 47 914mn rubles (+9.8% y/y). Operating loss of the Company for 2017 amounted to 1 533mn rubles versus 12 590mn rubles of operating profit for 2016. Significant increases of expenses were shown in the articles of on-board supplies (up to 16 900mn, +21.7% y/y), labor costs (up to 37 171mn, +13.6% y/y) and advertising expenses (up to 8 848mn, +37.7% y/y). An increase in the cost of on-board supplies was associated with higher transportation volumes and with an increase in price, exceeding inflation level. The growth of advertising expenses was related to marketing campaigns aimed at international markets. The Company's net profit increased to 28 443mn rubles (+21.7% y/y). The increase in net profit was related to a decrease in tax expenses, an increase in profit from participation in other organizations and a more pronounced decrease in other expenses (by 22 518mn rubles, -49.3% y/y) relative to other income (by 13 030mn rubles, -19.8% y/y ) of the Company.\nThe average price of Brent crude oil increased by 21% y/y in 2017, while ruble-denominated prices for aviation fuel increased by 7.6% y/y. According to the report, Aeroflot's total expenses for aviation fuel amounted to 84 816mn rubles (+18% y/y), increasing mainly due to the growth in operating indicators (Aeroflot’s flight hours +9.9% y/y).\nAppreciation of the ruble against EUR (+11.2% y/y) and USD (+13% y/y), put pressure on international yields. Aeroflot yields decreased by 5.5% in 2017, while the decline in 4Q2017 was only 1.5% y/y.\nPositive factors in the presented results are the relatively restrained growth of fuel expenses, considering a significant rise in oil prices, and the trend of weakening dynamics of declines in yields q/q. As expected, negative factors for Aeroflot are higher labor costs and advertising expenses. Due to the excess of growth rates of expenditures over the growth rate of revenue, we maintain our forecast of the decline of the EBITDA margin below 11% for 2017 (15.7% in 2016) according to IFRS results.\nThe net profit under RAS may significantly differ from the same indicator under IFRS.

{ "original": "Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been widely applied in imaging at micron-scale resolution and deep into the samples under investigation. Because of the unique ability of OCT to highly resolve layers in depth, one of the most common and quantitative tasks of interest is thickness estimation. Prior works have reported using OCT for thickness estimation of different biological layers, including nerve fiber layer,1 macular,2 cornea,3 retina,4 choroidal,5 epidermal skin,6 tear film,7 and airway.8\nRegardless of the specific estimation task, it is of great importance to understand the measurement uncertainty associated with the optical system noise, such as the noise of the broadband source. Currently, three types of broadband sources are commonly employed in Fourier domain OCT systems, supercontinuum sources, superluminescent diodes (SLDs), and swept sources. Supercontinuum generation employs a high-repetition rate laser and a nonlinear fiber9 to achieve extreme nonlinear broadening of optical pulses that may expand a wavelength range to as large as 400 to 2500 nm. On the other hand, SLDs utilize the cavity-free continuous-wave amplified spontaneous emission without optical feedback to produce an emission band centered within the range of 400 and 1700 nm with a typical full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth limited to . The different natures of the photon generation processes lead to variations in the noise properties of the two sources. Supercontinuum generation has been long regarded as possessing significantly higher relative intensity noise due to pulse-to-pulse fluctuations. For swept sources, the broadband spectra are temporally encoded by the rapid wavelength sweep over a broad wavelength range. In addition to the source intensity noise, a swept source system is inclined to suffer from jittering noise in the A-scan trigger signals that control the synchronization of the data acquisition with the sweep cycles. Swept source OCT systems are widely employed due to their high speed and long range imaging capability at the common spectra bands around the 1300 and 1500 nm regimes.\nThe noise characterization of broadband sources has been an important topic in the OCT community. An early study was reported to quantify the noise of SLD by analyzing the detector readings with a radio-frequency spectrum analyzer;10 in a more recent study, image contrast was reported to evaluate the noise of SLD and supercontinuum.11 This paper quantifies the noise of three types of OCT sources and further investigates the impact of these sources of noise on a thickness estimation task using two different estimators.\nIn a quantitative imaging task, an observer is present to make a decision based on the image data.12 For a thickness estimation task, the observer is an estimator that makes the estimate based on the OCT data. The most commonly used estimator performs a fast Fourier transform (FFT) followed by a peak detection technique in order to compute the optical path difference (OPD) between two peaks defining a layer.13 This estimator will thereafter be referred to as the FFT estimator. The thickness is then estimated by dividing the OPD by the group index of refraction of that layer. The axial resolution achieved with the FFT approach is limited by the width (FWHM) of the axial point-spread function (PSF), which is on the order of a micron in the highest definition systems.14 Biofilms or biolayers in the order of tens of nanometers are typically not resolved using the FFT approach. These layers may include the lipid and aqueous layers of a tear film,15 for example. To overcome this limitation, we have recently reported a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator for the tear film thickness measurement.1617.–18\nThe purpose of this study is to benchmark the noise properties of different broadband sources, including supercontinuum, SLD, and swept sources, and to investigate the performance of different sources for a thickness estimation task, with both FFT and ML estimators. For such a purpose, the rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents a Fourier domain OCT mathematical model that provides the foundation for noise quantification and performance discussion; Sec. 3 quantifies the intensity noise of a supercontinuum source, an SLD, and a swept source; Sec. 4 first benchmarks the performance of different sources using both the FFT and ML estimators in a general one-layer thickness estimation task through simulation; we then experimentally validate the key simulation findings before we conclude.\nFourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Modeling\nThe formulation of a mathematical description of a spectral domain OCT system was first reported in our prior work.17,18 Since a swept source system is also discussed in this paper, we emphasize the key points of the mathematical constructs here and generalize the model to describe a more general Fourier domain OCT, as they closely pertain to the noise characterization and the estimators we employed for the thickness estimation task. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the system based on a Michelson interferometer configuration. The broadband light source emits an electric field denoted as , where is the angular frequency. It is split at the beam splitter and propagates to both reference and sample arms. The response associated with the electric field following its propagation through the reference arm can be written as\nThe backreflected/scattered light from both arms recombines at the beam splitter, and the resulting interference pattern is collected by the detector. For a spectral domain OCT, the detector is a spectrometer in which a dispersive element is used to disperse the light. A high-speed line-scan camera, with tens of thousands of A-scans per second, records the intensity of the modulated signal and maps the wavelength information to the indices of different camera pixels. For the case of a swept source OCT, the detector is a photodiode in which the wavelength information is encoded by time stamps. For either a spectrometer-based OCT or a swept source OCT, the output of one A-scan is a discretized spectrum , which is an array with elements, where is the number of pixels or time stamps. is proportional to the number of electrons accumulated in the narrow band centered at during the detector integration time . Given the laser intensity noise as well as the Poisson noise and dark noise of the detector, the randomness of may be approximated by a normal distribution as in Ref. 1616\nNoise Measurements of Different Broadband Sources\nTo benchmark the intensity noise levels of different sources, a supercontinuum source (WhiteLase Micro, Fianium), an SLD (Broadlighter D840, Superlum), and a swept source (Santec, HSL-2100-WR) have been studied. To measure the source intensity noise, only the reference arm is used. A variable neutral density filter (VNDF), which was placed before the input of the detector in order to avoid stray light or any potential light leakage, was used to adjust the level of light incidence on the detector in the context of noise measurements as a function of the overall light power. Readings from one chosen pixel or time stamp were recorded for a fixed light intensity level, from which the mean and variance of the digital number were calculated. Then as we adjusted the position of the VNDF, the intensity of the light reaching the detector monotonically increased. After quantifying the mean and the corresponding variance at different light intensity levels, the relation of the variance of the power spectrum versus its mean value is plotted in Fig. 2, for a supercontinuum, a swept source, and an SLD, respectively. The coefficients , , of the curves were evaluated for each source and are listed in Table 1. The results show that the SLD has the least intensity noise, followed by the swept source, and then the supercontinuum. It is important to note that, besides the intensity noise, the swept source may suffer from trigger jittering, which may impose an uncertainty in the wavelength, and thus affect its performance in thickness estimation. The following section discusses the swept source in two cases: (1) in the best scenario, an ideal swept source is considered with only intensity noise and (2) a swept source, in a real lab setting, is investigated with trigger jittering noise.\nSecond-order polynomial fitting coefficients of optical coherence tomography (OCT) system noise for different sources.\nInvestigation of Source Performance with Different Estimators\nThis section investigates the performance of three optical sources for a thickness estimation task. We first discuss how to generate simulated spectra in Sec. 4.1. Then in Secs. 4.2 and 4.3, the performances of the three optical sources are investigated through simulations for the FFT and ML estimators, respectively, using the accuracy and precision of thickness estimates as system performance metrics. Experimental measurements are performed in Sec. 4.4 to validate the key findings in Secs. 4.2 and 4.3.\nGenerating Simulated Spectra\nTo compare the performance of three sources in simulation, their spectra were first scaled to the same level (i.e., 50%) of the full scale of the detector. To benchmark the performance, a Schott AF 32® Eco thin glass layer that has a known dispersion was used in this study as the sample. In the study, the first surface of the thin glass was used as the reference as a means, in practice, of eliminating the impact of potential vibrations. From Eqs. (2) and (3), a simulated spectrum can be generated from a Gaussian random number generator for the supercontinuum and SLD sources. For the swept source, a random wavelength shift () with a standard deviation of 0.055 nm was taken into account considering the jittering characteristic of the A-scan trigger signal experimentally measured by an oscilloscope. Mathematically, to generate one simulated spectrum for the swept source, a random wavelength array was first generated using the following equation:\nPrinciple of the Fast Fourier Transform Estimator and Simulations\nIn a Fourier domain OCT, the depth information of the sample is encoded in the oscillation modulation frequency of the spectrum. Thus, for each simulated spectrum, an FFT was performed to yield a depth profile that contains the information of the intensity of the backreflected signal along the depth of the sample. An example of a depth profile is shown in Fig. 3, where two major peaks are located at the axial positions representing the optical paths of the layer surfaces. It is noted that zero padding on the interference spectrum was conducted prior to the FFT to ensure that the peaks were sampled at a sampling resolution of 1 nm. The group optical thickness of the layer was then obtained from the difference of the two peak locations. Due to the low-coherence interferometry nature of OCT, the directly measured OPD is a product of the physical thickness and the group refractive index of the layer. The group index () is associated with the phase index () based on the dispersion relation , where is the dispersion slope at a wavelength .19 Therefore, to estimate the physical thickness of the layer, the measured group optical thickness is further divided by the group index estimated at the central frequency of the OCT operating spectral band.\nTo compare the performance of three sources, the ground truth of the thickness in the simulations was scaled with the width (FWHM) of the axial PSFs of three sources for the glass film under discussion (refractive index of 1.5), which are 0.9, 3.3, and , for the supercontinuum, SLD, and swept sources, respectively. In the following Secs. 4.2.1 to 4.2.3, the thickness estimation task is performed in three thickness ranges: the thickness to be measured is (1) larger than 10 times the width of the axial PSFs, (2) between 1 to 10 times the width of the axial PSFs, and (3) less than the width of the axial PSFs.\nThickness 10 times larger than the width of axial point-spread functions\nIn this section, simulations were set up for estimating layer thicknesses with ground truth ranging from 10 to 100 times the width of axial PSFs for all three sources. Figure 4 shows the deviation of the estimated mean thickness from the ground truth as well as the standard deviation of the measurements obtained from repeated estimates on a set of 2000 simulated spectra. Results show that estimates from all three sources are slightly biased compared to the ground-truth thickness. The standard deviations of the estimates for the supercontinuum, SLD, and swept sources without wavelength jittering are within 2, 6, and 8 nm, respectively. It is worth noting that when only source intensity noise is present, all three sources have a precision as good as a few nanometers. The fact that the supercontinuum source has the most precise estimates can be explained by the fact that it has the finest axial PSF. When the trigger jittering noise is considered, the estimation precision of the swept source gets significantly worse as the ground-truth thickness increases. For a thickness ground truth of 100 times that of the swept source axial PSF, the jittering noise causes the estimation precision to increase by a factor of 8. By comparing the performance across the three different sources, results show that the source intensity noise has less impact on a thickness estimation task compared to the impact of the axial PSF or the trigger jittering noise.\nThe presence of biased estimates in all three sources may be explained by the following observations: (1) the dispersion property of the sample sets the apparent group index that may not be accurate to describe the propagation of a broadband light in the sample. Dividing the group optical thickness by a fixed group index computed at the central frequency of OCT may result in an inaccurate thickness estimation and (2) zero padding of the spectrum is used to achieve a finer sampling step (i.e., 1 nm) in the depth profile, which is equivalent to performing a sinc interpolation to the depth profile.20 The sinc interpolation is an approximation of the location of the axial depth peaks.\nThickness in the same order of magnitude as the width of axial point-spread functions\nIn this section, the thickness of the ground truth under discussion ranges from 1 to 10 times the width of the axial PSFs. The rest of the parameters in the simulations were the same as in Sec. 4.2.1. The bias and precision of the estimates are shown in Figs. 5 and 6, respectively. The supercontinuum, SLD, and swept sources without trigger jittering have comparable precision as they have in the previous section; for a swept source with jittering noise, the precision was better than that shown in Sec. 4.2.1, where a larger thickness was presented. The different behaviors of the swept source show that trigger jittering noise has less impact on thinner thickness estimates, where the spectrum has less dense oscillations. On the other hand, for thinner estimates, biases of as much as 10% of the absolute thickness under test are observed when the ground truth is less than twice of the axial PSFs for all three sources. The bias fluctuates as the ground-truth thickness changes; the amplitude of the fluctuation gradually gets smaller and flattens when the ground-truth thickness is larger than eight times the axial PSFs.\nCompared to the previous task where the thickness was times the width of the axial PSFs, here the ground truth is between 1 and 10 times the width of the axial PSFs. Results yield a larger bias, which means the thickness estimation task becomes more challenging for the FFT estimator when the thickness under test is closer to the width of the axial PSFs. The difficulty in estimating thicknesses closer to the width of the axial PSFs may be explained by the fact that the two peaks in the depth profile, which correspond to the two surfaces of a layer, start to have more of an impact on each other. For example, sidelobes of the first peak can cause a shift of the second peak location and, thus an associated biased thickness estimate.\nThickness less than the width of the axial point-spread functions\nAs shown in Sec. 4.2.2, the task has become more challenging for the FFT estimator when the ground-truth thickness is comparable to the width of the axial PSFs. When the thickness under test is even thinner than the width of the axial PSFs, the FFT estimator is expected to breakdown. In Fig. 7(a), the performance of the FFT estimator is simulated for a Schott AF 32® Eco layer ranging from 0.1 to thick in intervals for the supercontinuum source. As expected, the FFT estimator breaks down by a significant bias error in the case where the layer thickness is smaller than the width of the axial PSF. Figure 7(b) shows the depth profile of a film with a thickness after Fourier transform of the simulated spectrum. It can be seen that the two peaks representing the top and bottom surfaces of the layer are unresolvable due to the optical thickness of the sample falling well below the width of the axial PSF of the OCT system. The FFT estimator mistakenly detects a side lobe as the peak representing the bottom surface and as such a large biased result.\nPrinciple of the Maximum-Likelihood Estimator and Simulations\nThis section benchmarks the performance of the ML estimator. In a Fourier domain OCT system, the final output from the system is a spectrum . From the ML estimation framework, the probability of observing one simulated spectrum from a possible thickness can be expressed as in Ref. 18\nTo compare with the FFT estimator, we benchmarked the performance of the ML estimator based on evaluating the same set of spectra simulated for a Schott AF 32® Eco thin glass film. A thickness ranging from 0.1 to 1 time the width of axial PSFs is also discussed, in addition to thicknesses that are larger than the width of the axial PSFs. The estimated mean and precision obtained from the ML estimator for all three sources are shown in Figs. 8(a) and 8(b). Results show that the ML estimator is unbiased for all three sources across the whole thickness ranging from 0.1 to 100 times the width of axial PSFs. For the thickness range that is less than the width of the axial PSFs, all sources yield a precision better than 5 nm. With a thickness larger than the width of the PSFs, both supercontinuum and SLD yield a precision better than 0.3 nm. However, for the swept source with jittering noise, the precision gets worse when the ground-truth thickness increases. Compared to the FFT estimator, the precisions of the supercontinuum and SLD sources are improved by an order of magnitude; however, for the swept source with jittering noise, the precision is improved by only a factor of 2, which is due to the fact that the ML estimator does not have the priori knowledge of the wavelength shift.\nIn Secs. 4.2 and 4.3, results show that the FFT estimator yields biased estimates, while the ML estimator is, by construction, asymptotically unbiased and is shown to be more immune to the source intensity noise, displaying a improvement in precision for the supercontinuum and SLD sources. To further validate these findings, the supercontinuum source, which offers the best performance in simulation, is chosen to carry out the experiments that will be discussed in the following sections.\nCustomized optical coherence tomography instrumentation\nA custom free-space spectral-domain ultrabroadband OCT system, as shown in Fig. 9, was used for the experimental validation. The system layout was detailed in our previous study.16 In summary, the key components of the system consist of a commercial broadband light source, a custom bandpass filter, and a custom broadband astigmatism-corrected Czerny–Turner spectrometer.21 The supercontinuum laser (WhiteLase Micro, Fianium) is filtered to operate in the spectral window of 600 to 1000 nm. The light, after passing the custom filter, is split into the reference and sample arms by a nonpolarizing cube beamsplitter (BS014, Thorlabs Inc.). In the sample arm, a galvanometer-based scanner (Dual axis, Cambridge Technologies Inc.) coupled with a broadband near-infrared achromatic focusing objective (, Thorlabs Inc.) directs the beam to the sample for telecentric scanning. The beam size is 2 mm in diameter ( of the maximum), yielding a FWHM lateral PSF. In the reference arm, an equivalent lens is used for dispersion compensation. The back reflection/scattering light beams from both arms are focused into a broadband astigmatism-corrected Czerny–Turner spectrometer. The spectrometer interfaces to a line-scan camera of 8192 pixels (SPL8192-70 km, Basler Inc.) that yields a 0.1-nm spectral resolution. The integration time of the camera was set at in all follow-up measurements.\nMeasurement of a glass film\nTo validate the simulation results, a Schott AF 32® Eco glass film in the laboratory was used as the sample. A power incidence was chosen for the purpose of the glass film measurement because it displays high reflectivity; the sensitivity was measured to be 88 dB. For other applications, such as eye imaging, the power incidence on the sample is adjusted to be 0.7 mW, which is much higher yet complies with the American National Standards Institute standards, and, in this case, the sensitivity was measured to be 108 dB. In the experiment, we acquired 5000 spectra from the glass film under test. The spectra were then processed using both the FFT and ML approaches. Results yield and for the FFT and the ML estimators, respectively. It is noteworthy that the mean thickness measured by the FFT approach has a 21-nm discrepancy compared to that of the ML estimator, which agrees with the prediction from the simulations shown in Fig. 4. The precision of the ML estimator is also validated to be better than that of the FFT estimator.\nPerformance of the maximum-likelihood estimator for extremely thin layers\nResults in Fig. 8(a) show that the ML estimator can estimate a thin thickness, at least down to one-tenth the width of the axial PSFs. To demonstrate the capability of the ML estimator in measuring thicknesses significantly less than the width of the axial PSFs, a phantom was fabricated by depositing a coating on a LaSFn9 glass substrate. The thickness ground truth of the phantom was made to be .\nTo experimentally validate the performance of the ML estimator for measuring such a small thickness, 2000 spectra were acquired from the center of the phantom and were processed by the ML estimator. The measured average thickness was found to be , which was within the thickness range of the ground truth. An example of a probability distribution plot used by the ML estimator to predict a thickness of is shown in Fig. 10.\nAfter validation at one single point, a telecentric scanning of a on the phantom was taken, with points that corresponds to a sampling resolution. The thickness map is shown in Fig. 11, in which the mean thickness over the area was calculated to be 98.3 nm with a 0.6-nm surface root-mean-square error.\nThis study benchmarked the noise levels of three of the most commonly used broadband sources in Fourier domain OCT, i.e., a supercontinuum, an SLD, and a swept source. Results show that the SLD has the least intensity noise, followed by the swept source, and the supercontinuum. From the quantified noise, we studied the performance of these three sources in the context of a thickness estimation task using both FFT and ML estimators. Findings show that source intensity noise has less impact on a thickness estimation task compared to the axial PSF and trigger jittering of a swept source.\nThe FFT estimator has slightly biased estimates when the thickness under test is more than 10 times the width of the axial PSFs, and the precision can be as good as several nanometers. However, when the thickness to be estimated is on the same order of magnitude as the width of the axial PSF, the thickness estimation becomes challenging for the FFT estimator as it yields a large bias that may reach as much as 10% of the thickness under test. As the thickness to estimate becomes even thinner than the width of the axial PSF, the FFT estimator breaks down and cannot provide meaningful estimates. With the ML estimator, all sources yield unbiased estimates, with the capability to estimate thinner thicknesses down to at least one-tenth of the width of the axial PSF. For both the supercontinuum and SLD, the estimates can be achieved with a precision that is an order of magnitude better compared to the FFT estimator. In the case of the swept source, because it typically suffers from trigger jittering noise, the precision of the estimates is improved compared to the FFT estimator by only a factor of 2.\nFinally, this paper quantifies the various amount of noise in a supercontinuum, an SLD, and a swept source, accounting for jitter noise in the case of the later. Results show that while the supercontinuum is noisiest among the three sources considered, it, in fact, yields the most precise estimates with nanometer-scale precision and is able to achieve unbiased estimates for tens of nanometer thicknesses when combined with the ML estimator. This finding can be attributed to the fact that intensity noise in the source is only one component to consider in performing an estimation task and that the ability to create a broad spectrum such as at the central wavelength of 800 nm is a critical component of the task.\nWe acknowledge Eric Clarkson and Matthew Kupinski for stimulating discussion on mathematical observers upon which this paper on metrology builds.
