Hello, dear blog guests. LifevInet.ru - is a blog about interesting web services, web-applications, cloud computing, software, Internet technology, online services and their useful lives.Just reading it I hear the opening theme from The Hunt for Red October.
The " Project Castro " is an initiative of the Association of Philosophical Studies "Dr. Castro "through which aims to plan and organize the Study of the Complete Works of illustrated Lugo Juan Francisco Fernandez de Castro (1721-1790). With this project the AEF "Dr. Castro "wants to claim to present neat and scholarly work of a tireless scholar of unquestionable value to the dictate of history relegated to the background depriving the later generations of Galician, Spanish and European of his fruitful intellectual creation. The ultimate goal of the project is the publication of a comprehensive and detailed study of the enormous work of this thinker who serves as a first step towards its definitive appreciation as well as a lobby for the critical edition of his writings. This study will analyze key elements of the works published during his lifetime by the Castro, as well as posthumous and any other written or own unpublished research development go bringing to light.
The winner of presidential debates is not the one who compiles the most debating points. It is the one whom the audience decides they like, and can be comfortable taking a chance on.Spot on, Pat. The candidates who go into these events thinking they're debate society meets are the candidates who lose. Ask Algore, who won all the points but came out looking like a menacing, arrogant, jerk. He interrupted W, he always insisted on getting the last word, he would sigh at something he felt was particularly gregarious and he did this:
There's lot of economic gobbledygook too, something about factor-price-equalization or some such. It ain't called the dismal science for nothing, folks.
The next revolution will not abolish the consequences of place of birth, but the privileges of nationhood will be tempered. While the rise in anti-immigrant sentiment around the world seems to point in the opposite direction, the sense of injustice will be amplified as communications continue to grow. Ultimately, recognition of wrong will wreak big changes.
For now, this recognition faces strong competition from patriotic impulses, rooted in a social contract among nationals who have paid taxes over the years or performed military service to build or defend what they saw as exclusively theirs. Allowing unlimited immigration would seem to violate this contract.
But the most important steps to address birthplace injustice probably will not target immigration. Instead, they will focus on fostering economic freedom.
Surging nationalist party Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) was declared the big winner after reaching a high share of votes in notoriously liberal Berlin. Merkel’s CDU, on the other hand, suffered its worst election results in the capital since Germany’s reunification in 1990.In Britain the voters scuppered the globalists plan for a European Britain.
CDU has been losing seats in state assemblies across Germany throughout the year as people show dissatisfaction with Merkel’s open-door immigration stance. CDU dropped almost six points from the election in 2011, finishing with just 17.5 percent of the votes, and will no longer be part of the governing coalition.
Editing, at ts highest level, is surely a creative act. I don’t know that Ellen would have used such language; she told me once that her task was simply to read attentively, to bring the full weight of her concentration to bear on a book. But Ellen’s concentration was a kind of genius, a sensitivity to a work and what it wanted to become. Her editing method was somewhat legendary: Ellen would examine every sentence, word by word, questioning if what was being achieved was in the book’s interest, or the author’s interest, or neither. Ellen liked to work in conversation with her authors—literally. We spoke on the phone almost daily for months, sometimes five days a week, usually for roughly five or six hours at a time.
Ms. Shriver criticized as runaway political correctness efforts to ban references to ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation from Halloween celebrations, or to prevent artists from drawing on ethnic sources for their work. Ms. Shriver, the author of 13 novels, who is best known for her 2003 book, “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” was especially critical of efforts to stop novelists from cultural appropriation. She deplored critics of authors like Chris Cleave, an Englishman, for presuming to write from the point of view of a Nigerian girl in his best-selling book “Little Bee.”I've been told a few times by vets that I had no business writing about, say, the Battle of 73 Easting. That's right, you were at the Battle of 73 Easting and I wasn't.
Who are these goddamn people? When someone like Colin Powell 'throws a mini tantrum' this should get their attention, perhaps cause one to reconsider what one is doing, maybe get out of town for a while. Or I should say, who do these goddamn people think they are? Cheryl Mills, Huma Abadin, they're political lickspittles. At the center of power? Please. To the Clinton's everyone is disposable. Just ask the long list of people they've stepped on and discarded during the last 25 years.
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” Powell lamented. He noted that he had tried to settle the matter by meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.
The shock, for me, was the realization that most Americans inhabit a very different news environment than professional journalists. I not only consume a lot of news, since it’s my job, I also tend to focus on elite print-news sources. Most voters, and all the more so undecided voters, subsist on a news diet supplied by the likes of Matt Lauer. And the reality transmitted to them from Lauer matches the reality of the polls, which is a world in which Clinton and Trump are equivalently flawed.Chait once made news bragging about how proud he was to hate George W. Bush. Chaitred, it came to be called.
Currently named Proxima b, the planet is about the same size as Earth — approximately 1.3 sizes larger — and seems to have liquid water among a mostly rocky terrain. The find is not only incredible because of its similarity to Earth, but also the fact that it's near the star, Proxima Centauri, closest to our sun. Scientists have yet to determine whether or not the planet has an atmosphere, which would be crucial for life to survive there.This is incredible news, I think.
Scientists detected a strong signal in space, but is it alien life or just noise?
The signal, which was detected by a Russian radio telescope, could potentially be produced by some sort of extraterrestrial civilization, but there's no current way to confirm that.It's almost as if there is momentum toward the discovery of alien life.
The signal comes from the star HD164595, which is about 95 light-years away and it's 99% of the size of our sun. It also has at least one planet, HD164595b, which is believed to be the size of Neptune and has 40-day years.
Very well-written, established characters, engaging action, intriguing premise, compelling themes, and a terrifying enemy that is not at all unlike us.So read up!
The new The Answer album Solas is a contemporary, uplifting rock album, channelling the band’s Irish roots to deliver a bold new sound.
The original song was… a very dark song about how club life in L.A. was being killed off and live acts had no place to go. A producer named Peter Wolf—not the J. Geils Peter Wolf, but a big-time pop guy and Austrian record producer—got ahold of the demo and totally changed it.… If you heard the original demo, you wouldn't even recognize the song.
The Starship, I hated. Our big hit single, “We Built This City,” was awful.… I felt like I'd throw up on the front row, but I smiled and did it anyway. The show must go on.
