The contemprory model of complete design to manufacturing was challenged when the fabless model was for chip design became prevelant. The fabless companies are ones that do not have a fabrication unit. A fabrication unit Semiconductor companies manufactures ASICs.
With growing complexities and shriking geometries tier two busniness model of outsourcing evolved. This model had specialized services providers having expertise on the complete chip design cycle. The companies outsourcing the services benefited from shorter time to market, specialized services offering more domain knowledge, allowing companies to concentrate on their core competencies.

Albert Konstantinovich Chernenko (a sort. In 1935) the Russian philosopher, Doctor of Philosophy, the professor, the known expert in the field of philosophy of history, legal philosophy and social philosophy. During the Soviet period of creativity Albert Chernenko has created the theory of " historical causality " in which on the basis of application of dialectic-materialistic methodology multilevel character of relationships of cause and effect proves in historical process that was at that time essential step in development of the Soviet methodology of history in a context of understanding of historical events [Causality in history, 1983]. Causality in history has three levels of "self-development" during knowledge: "general" (a way of manufacture of a concrete formation), "especial" (historical conditions), "individual" (actions of historic figures). Cand.. diss. " Features of causality in history and dialectics of its research " [, 1971], Doctoral. Diss.. " Socially-philosophical problems of the theory of historical causality " [, 1985] In first half 90th year ов it develops and proves the theory of " legal technology " in which the methodology of " social engineering " (K.Popper, etc.) is used For designing social processes and reforming of a social system. The purpose of legal technology creation of rational and effective legal system in view of the multilevel nature of causality and system-substantial understanding of the right. In this sense as the social phenomenon has the right not only external (the social environment), but also internal potential of inconsistent "self-development", that allows to consider the legal phenomena in a context sociocultural determinations (at a macrolevel) and self-determinations (microlevel).

Bhongir
Bhongir is a town in Nalgonda district , 47kms from Hyderabad . Bhongir is famous for its fort.
Bhongir fort was built on an isolated rock by the western Chalukya ruler Tribhuvanamalla Vikramaditya VI and was thus named after him as Tribhuvanagiri. This name gradually became Bhuvanagiri and subsequently Bhongir. At the foot of the fortified rocks 609.6 meters above the sea level stands the town of Bhongir,it has a unique egg-shaped construction with two entry points protected by huge rocks, so the fort was considered practically impregnable by invading armies. The splendid historical fort with the awe-inspiring rock and the aesthetically fortified courts which have stood the ravages of time stir the imagination of the tourists.A moat that encircles the fort, a vast underground chamber, trap doors, an armoury, stables, ponds, wells etc., make for fascinating viewing. The view from top of the surrounding countryside is simply breathtaking. The Bala Hisar or citadel on the top of the hill gives a bird's eye view of the neighbouring area. The fort is associated with the herioc queen Rudramadevi and her grandson Prataparudra's rule.

Pg.150 "These carefree days seemed far removed in August 1940, when Martha and her children joined eight hundred American refugees aboard the Army transport ship the AMERICAN LEGION for the perilous voyage to the United States. Troubled by rumors of a NAZI plan to kidnap the princess and her son, the ship was forced to take a circuitous route from the Arctic port of Petsamo, Finlan, down the Norweigan coast, through the mined waters of the North Atlantic into New York. When the ship landed safely, Martha spoke to the press, denouncing Hitler in "brave words" that impressed Eleanor. From the docsk in New York, the princess journeyed to Hyde Park, accompanied by her children, her lady-in-waiting, the court chamberlain, and a retinue of servants." pg. 150. "Martha's birth, in Stockholm, had occasioned a twenty-one gun salue in both Norway and Sweden to mark the arrivale of the granddaughter of OSCAR II, Kin of the combined union of Norway and Sweden. By the time Martha grew up, Norway and Sweden had ended their union, but the blood ties between the dynasties of the two countries remained strong. Martha's father was a Swedish prince, the younger br9other of the Swedish King Gustav V. Her mother was a Danish princess, the younger sister of the norwegian King Haakon VII. Martha was only a child when she met her first cousin and future husband, Prince Olva. As the only son of King Haakon, Olav was Norway's adored "little prince."
"The roay family's reign ad been brought to an abrupt end when the Nazis invaded Norway in early April 1940. For two months, the king and the members of the Parliament had bravely resistedn German demands for surrender, moving deeper and deeper into the north woods to avoid capture. "I cannot accept the German demands,: Haakon told his nation as the infuriated Gemrand tried to kill him. "It would conflict with all that I have considered to be my duty as King of Norway....." When advancing German troops made it impossible for Haakon to hold out any longer, he and his son fled to London, to set-up a government in exilte, while Princess Martha concerned about the safety of her children, accepted an offer of asylum from President Roosevelt."
In my own on-line research, accessing information regarding the history of military ships, the American Legion ship was also apparently secretly transporting a prototype design of a gunmount designed in Sweden -- which prototype proved very instrumental in the Allies winning the war against the German U-boats.

Region rock is a subgenre of punk music originating from the southeast United States. It is generally melodic and energetic, often with more personal rather than political lyrics than other punk subgenres. Most, if not all, region rock bands, record labels, and music venues are diy and non-profit. Some prominent cities for this style include Miami, Pensacola, and Gainesville in Florida, Athens, GA, Chattanooga, TN, Cleveland, MS, and Asheville, NC. Most of the bands play mainly in their town or nearby towns in the region, mostly in houses, basements, and small bars or coffee shops, and therefore may not be well known outside of their own town despite being local favorites. Some bands that have received more widespread recognition include the Stun Guns, Sexy, Hickey, ADD/C, Jack Palance Band, Queer Wulf, and Allergic to Bullshit. Many of the region rock bands put out 7" records on Chattanooga's This here Records, which is now being joined by the more recently established Plan-It-X South record label and Onion Flavored Records.

In my own on-line research, accessing information regarding the history of military ships, the American Legion ship was also apparently secretly transporting a prototype design of a gunmount designed in Sweden -- which prototype proved very instrumental in the Allies winning the war against the German U-boats.
Likely, if the American Legion had been sunk by German U-boats, America would have been drawn into the war much earlier; which was a looming war that President Roosevelt had been discussing as likely necessary, in his attempts to persuade Americans to end their "isolationism", as he called it.
With a ship christened the powerful name-imagery of 'American Legion', and carrying EIGHT HUNDRED American refugees, and members of the royal family or Norway, and if it had come under attack, and if it had been sunk by German U-boats, one would assume that that extremely emotional event would have proved pivotal in convincing Americans of the need to enter WW-II ....before Pearl Harbor?
It is still largely unknown that the American Legion had been under a dual mission, not only involving American lives and lives of several Norwegians of the royal family, but also was transporting a military asset designed in Sweden.
The Germans would likely have been very interested to know the whereabouts of the American Legion on the high-seas, since they were in hot pursuit of the royal family members of Norway. No doubt, the fact that the American Legion was also carrying a prototype machine implement for war uses would be considered most important by Germans.
Had anyone been given orders to provide/signal/Morse-code the American Legion's ship's coordinants/location while on the high-seas, is a question not yet resolved, though there were definite repercussions once the ship returned to New York. "Saving" the Queen", or rather saving the life of Princess Martha of Norway and her children, may not have been the most expedient pursuit of militarists; though no doubt the prototype machinery implement was considered equally classified in that very secret mission.
President Roosevelt's speeches had become more alarming in his warnings of the need for America to consider joining the Allies in WW-II. The first Pearl Harbor attack convinced Americans of the need to begin preparing for war, and joining the Allies.
Pg. 295 PEARL HARBOR ATTACK AND PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT: "Historians have focused substantial time and attention trying to determine who knew what and when bfore the Seventh of December, 1941, on the theory that ROOSEVELT WAS AWARE of the JAPANESE PLANS TO ATTACK PEARL HARBOR, but deliberatley concealed his knowledge from the commanders in Hawaii in order to BRIN THE UNITED STATES INTO HOSTILITIES through the back door. Unable to swing Congress and the public toward a declaration of war against Germany, critics contend, the president provoked Japan into firing the first shot and then watched with delight as the attack created a united America."
Commentary: Sometimes history is not as it may seem. If an imminent or possible or potential attack against the United States is or was not fully considered by the Department of War, of President Roosevelt and his staff, then there would be no need for concerns to set an entire fleet like sitting ducks inside a harbor.
Who could know to what extent might be "invited" or contrived to create a 'false flag' event or attack, as in a 'Northwoods' consideration by the military and or militarists, even within the Department of Defense? As long as no questions are asked, people are satisfied.
It was announced by Major Media and newscasters and political researchers following the 9/11 attacks in New York, that this was similar to Pearl Harbor, or that it was America's "second Pearl Harbor", though most Americans no very little about the first one! A "second Pearl Harbor" must beg questions about the first one.
Researchers may wish to Google 'Northwoods' and appreciate that such conjectures are not wild speculation here. Steven B. Ford207.200.116.72 17:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

"I cannot accept the German demands,: Haakon told his nation as the infuriated Gemrans tried to kill him. "It would conflict with all that I have considered to be my duty as King of Norway....." When advancing German troops made it impossible for Haakon to hold out any longer, he and his son fled to London, to set-up a government in exilte, while Princess Martha concerned about the safety of her children, accepted an offer of asylum from President Roosevelt."
In my own on-line research, accessing information regarding the history of military ships, the American Legion ship was also apparently secretly transporting a prototype design of a gunmount designed in Sweden -- which prototype proved very instrumental in the Allies winning the war against the German U-boats.
Likely, if the American Legion had been sunk by German U-boats, America would have been drawn into the war much earlier; which was a looming war that President Roosevelt had been discussing as likely necessary, in his attempts to persuade Americans to end their "isolationism", as he called it.
With a ship christened the powerful name-imagery of 'American Legion', and carrying EIGHT HUNDRED American refugees, and members of the royal family of Norway, and if it had come under attack, and if it had been sunk by German U-boats, one would assume that that extremely emotional event would have proved pivotal in convincing Americans of the need to enter WW-II ....before Pearl Harbor?
It is still largely unknown that the American Legion had been under a dual mission, not only involving American lives and lives of several Norwegians of the royal family, but also was transporting a military asset designed in Sweden.
The Germans would likely have been very interested to know the whereabouts of the American Legion on the high-seas, since they were in hot pursuit of the royal family members of Norway. No doubt, the fact that the American Legion was also carrying a prototype machine implement for war uses would be considered most important by Germans.
Had anyone been given orders to provide/signal/Morse-code the American Legion's ship's coordinants/location while on the high-seas, is a question not yet resolved, though there were definite repercussions once the ship returned to New York. "Saving" the Queen", or rather saving the life of Princess Martha of Norway and her children, may not have been the most expedient pursuit of militarists; though no doubt the prototype machinery implement was considered equally classified in that very secret mission.
President Roosevelt's speeches had become more alarming in his warnings of the need for America to consider joining the Allies in WW-II. The first Pearl Harbor attack convinced Americans of the need to begin preparing for war, and joining the Allies.
Pg. 295 PEARL HARBOR ATTACK AND PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT: "Historians have focused substantial time and attention trying to determine who knew what and when bfore the Seventh of December, 1941, on the theory that ROOSEVELT WAS AWARE of the JAPANESE PLANS TO ATTACK PEARL HARBOR, but deliberatley concealed his knowledge from the commanders in Hawaii in order to BRIN THE UNITED STATES INTO HOSTILITIES through the back door. Unable to swing Congress and the public toward a declaration of war against Germany, critics contend, the president provoked Japan into firing the first shot and then watched with delight as the attack created a united America."
Commentary: Sometimes history is not as it may seem. If an imminent or possible or potential attack against the United States is or was not fully considered by the Department of War, of President Roosevelt and his staff, then there would be no need for concerns to set an entire fleet like sitting ducks inside a harbor.
Who could know to what extent might be "invited" or contrived to create a 'false flag' event or attack, as in a 'Northwoods' consideration by the military and or militarists, even within the Department of Defense? As long as no questions are asked, people are satisfied.
It was announced by Major Media and newscasters and political researchers following the 9/11 attacks in New York, that this was similar to Pearl Harbor, or that it was America's "second Pearl Harbor", though most Americans know very little about the first one! A "second Pearl Harbor" must beg questions about the first one.
Researchers may wish to Google 'Northwoods' and appreciate that such conjectures are not wild speculation here. Steven B. Ford207.200.116.72 17:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud (1956- ), President of Iran (2005- ). Ahmadinejad was born Mahmoud Saborjhian in the town of Aradan, to the south-east of Tehran. Soon after, his father moved the family to Tehran and set himself up as a blacksmith. He also changed the family name to Ahmadinejad. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad entered the University of Science and Technology in 1975, where he studied civil engineering. During his years at the university he became involved with the Islamist opposition to the regime of the Shah. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979 he was one of the founders of the Islamic Students’ Association at the university, and later was a leading figure in the Office for Strengthening Unity (OSU), a student organization established to create links between universities and seminaries, and close to Iran’s clerical leadership. Ahmadinejad was on the central council of the OSU when it was planning the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran in November 1979 (though he denies any personal involvement), and later helped to enforce the stringent Islamist policies of Ayatollah Khomeini in the universities.
Around 1980 Ahmadinejad joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, a militia loyal to Khomeini, and worked in its internal security department. During the Iran-Iraq War he served in the Special Brigade of the Revolutionary Guard in the province of Kermanshah (now Bākhtāran), in western Iran, and he is believed to have participated in secret operations in Iraq, and perhaps elsewhere. At the same time he continued his studies in Tehran, and received his doctorate in transport planning in 1987.
During the early 1990s Ahmadinejad served in a series of posts in regional government and as an adviser to the minister of Islamic culture and guidance, Ali Larijani, a close ally of the conservative supreme leader Ayatollah Khaman’i. In 1993, Ahmadinejad was appointed as governor of the newly created province of Ardabīl. With the election of the reform-minded Ali Khatami as president of Iran in 1997, Ahmadinejad returned to academic life as a teacher at the University of Science and Technology. He became associated with groups opposed to the liberalizing policies of Khatami’s government and linked to Ayatollah Khaman’i. These connections helped him to become mayor of Tehran, a job to which he was appointed in April 2003. As mayor, Ahmadinejad followed a conservative Islamist line with regard to such issues as the dress code and relations between the sexes, and also set about trying to sort out Tehran’s notorious traffic problems.
During the 2005 presidential election campaign, Ahmadinejad was not initially the leading conservative candidate—his former boss Ali Larijani was a more high-profile figure. However his support among the Revolutionary Guard and the associated Basij militia, his unostentatious campaign and modest demeanour, and the backing of Khaman’i propelled him into a second round run-off against the former president Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani. His promise to fight corruption and his nationalistic rhetoric, particularly with regard to Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, helped him to secure victory over Rafsanjani. Ahmadinejad took office at the beginning of August.

PC-1145 was laid down on 2 June 1943 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan; launched on 27 October 1943; and commissioned at New Orleans, Louisiana, on 1 June 1944, with Lieutenant J. L. Houget, USNR, in command.
PC-1145 completed shakedown training in the Gulf of Mexico on 11 June and reported for duty to the Commander, Gulf Sea Frontier. For the next year, the submarine chaser plied the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic seaboard conducting anti-submarine patrols and escorting coastwise convoys, In the performance of those duties, the little warship ranged as far north as New York City and as far south as the Panama Canal Zone.
Following the victory in Europe, PC-1145 received orders assigning her to the Pacific Fleet. Early in June 1945, she departed her base at Miami, Florida, and headed via the Panama Canal for the California coast and underwent repairs at San Diego, California, before continuing west to Hawaii. She departed San Diego on 15 July and arrived in Pearl Harbor on the 21st. She did not resume her westward voyage toward the Marshall Islands until 7 August. The submarine chaser reported for duty upon her arrival at Eniwetok Atoll on the 13th, but hostilities ceased the following day.
Nevertheless, the submarine chaser remained in the western Pacific more than a year. For about a month following her arrival, she performed patrol and escort duty in the Marshalls and the Carolines. On 7 September, she departed Eniwetok for a round-trip voyage to Japan, returning almost a month later, on 5 October. The ship then resumed her patrol and escort duties in the Marshalls and Carolines. After a round-trip voyage to Wake Island late in October, she reported to the atoll commander at Majuro in November for duty as station search and rescue ship. That assignment lasted until mid-February 1946 when she departed Majuro for extensive maintenance at Guam.
She completed repairs on 16 June and departed Guam on an inspection tour of the Western Carolines carrying representatives of the United States Commercial Company, a public corporation charged with responsibility for the economic rehabilitation of the Central Pacific region. For the next four months, PC-1145 served the United States Military Government administering the Central Pacific islands and worked hand-in-hand with officials of the United States Commercial Company surveying the region in preparation for efforts to reestablish a viable local economy.
In November, she departed the Central Pacific for her first complete overhaul since commissioning. She entered the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard on 21 November and remained there until 23 December. On that date, she reported to the Commander, Fleet Training Center, Pearl Harbor, under whose auspices she conducted refresher training and made a cruise to Hilo. PC-1145 departed Pearl Harbor on 27 February 1947, and on 4 March, arrived at Midway Island where she reported for duty to the Commander, Naval Operating Base, Midway. There, she served as an air search and rescue ship until the end of the second week in May. Relieved by PC-1172 on the 13th, PC-1145 headed back to Pearl Harbor. The warship operated out of the Oahu base conducting upkeep and repairs and serving as a training ship until late July. She then returned to Midway and resumed duty as search and rescue vessel. On 15 November, PCS-1399 relieved her at Midway; and PC-1145 returned to Pearl Harbor for a restricted availability.
For the remainder of her active career, PC-1145 alternated between duty out of Pearl Harbor and service as an air search and rescue ship, at first based at Midway but later at Kwajalein, Johnston Island, Guam, and Samoa. After 1950, however, Guam and Samoa ceased to be duty stations for the submarine chaser and her sister ships.
Duty in and out of Pearl Harbor consisted of repairs, training, target towing, and anti-submarine warfare operations. PC-1145 departed Pearl Harbor for the last time on 19 February 1955 and arrived in San Francisco, California, a week later. F ollowing nearly four months of repairs at Treasure Island, she stood out of San Francisco Bay on her way to Astoria, Oregon, and inactivation. On 15 August 1955, the ship was placed out of commission at Astoria and was berthed with the Columbia River Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet. On 15 February 1956, the submarine chaser--still inactive--was named Winnemucca, after a city in northwestern Nevada situated on the Humboldt River, and the seat of government for Humboldt County. She remained with the reserve fleet until 1 June 1960 when her name was struck from the Navy list. On 1 November, she was transferred to the Navy of the Republic of Korea.

USS Susanville (PC-1149) was laid down as PC-1149 on 6 November 1943 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan; launched on 11 January 1944; and commissioned on 22 June 1944.
She sailed, via the Mississippi River and New Orleans, Louisiana, to the Gulf of Mexico and conducted shakedown training out of Miami, Florida. During her first year of service, PC-1149 cruised the waters along the east coast of the United States and in the Caribbean Sea. She patrolled for German U-boats and escorted coastal and Caribbean convoys from port to port. The submarine chaser ranged as far north as New York and as far south as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
On 13 June 1945, about a week before the first anniversary of her active service, she transited the Panama Canal and joined the Pacific Fleet. After stopping at San Diego, California, and at Pearl Harbor, she arrived at Eniwetok in the Central Pacific on 28 July; then sailed the following day for the Marianas. She reached Saipan on 1 August and remained there through the end of the war and into September. After a brief voyage to Iwo Jima early that month, PC-1149 returned to the Marianas and operated in that island group for a little more than a year. In November 1946, she returned, via Kwajalein and Pearl Harbor, to the United States, arriving at the Columbia River Reserve Fleet berthing area in Oregon in mid-December. On 20 February 1947, PC-1149 was placed out of commission and berthed at Columbia River.
On 15 February 1956, while still out of commission, she was named Susanville, after a town in Lassen County in northeastern California. Sixteen months later, on 16 July 1957, Susanville was transferred, on loan, to the Nationalist Chinese Navy and was commissioned as Hsi Kiang. She served the Taiwan Navy until 30 June 1972 when she was transferred to the Taiwan Customs Service.

McDonaldization and Japanese society
This book is coedited by George Ritzer and Tetsuo Maruyama and published in Japan.This is based on the international symposium titled 'McDonaldization and Japanese society' which was held at Bukkyo University, Kypoto, Japan, in 2001. In this symposium, Ritzer is the key adresser and Maruyama is coordinator of it. Main point of the symposium is the application of McDonaldaization theory of Ritzer to Japanese society where the number of McDonald hamberger restaurant is next to the United States. On this theme, that is, how Japanese society has been McDonaldized, there was interest discussion between G.Ritzer and Japanese sociologists.

Joe Dunn
Joe Dunn is the State Senator from the 34th senate district. The district includes parts of Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Garden Grove. He was a trial lawyer who practiced product liability cases. He was first elected in 1998. He not only ran against an incumbent, but he ran against the Senate minority leader. But with a persistent campaign he was able to defeat his opponent. Four years later he was able to easily win reelection.
In the Senate Dunn has maintained an impeccable legislative record. He has earned a 100% voting record on choice, environment, LGBT and labor issues. He has won legislator of the year awards from veterans, firefighters, physicians, attorneys, and environmentalists. He has also introduced a bill to require that bullets made or sold in California be sold with identification so that they can be traced. This would allow law enforcement agencies to easily trace bullets used in crimes and discover who bought the bullets, thus solving crimes.
Dunn has also investigated the California National Guard for illegally spying on anti war protestors. This domestic spying is outside of the National Guards purview, as well as being illegal. Dunn has also found evidence that evidence has been destroyed in this investigation.
While in the Senate Dunn has investigated the energy manipulation which lead to the energy crisis in California a few years ago. The power crisis caused several rolling blackouts in California in 2001. Enron did this by withholding energy in order to drive up the demand, thus artificially increasing the prices. Experts believe that this may have resulted in Enron overcharging the state by as much as $25 billion to 30 billion. The crisis also cost the state a great deal of money, only a fraction of which the company will be able to pay back after filing for bankruptcy. Dunn has described Enron as being, "the biggest and most culpable in the entire energy crisis." This investigation led to the downfall of Enron as well as dozen of indictments against Enron’s former executives. Dunn’s investigation led to the discovery of the infamous, “death star memo,” which detailed some of the devious schemes used by Enron to manipulate the market and maximize profits. It is because of his investigation that California Lawyer Magazine has dubbed him, “The Man Who Cracked Enron.” Joe Dunn was also featured on the Academy Award nominated documentary, “The Smartest Guys in the Room.” Although only twenty two seconds of his four hour interview made into the film, he was able to explain the role that Enron played in California’s energy crisis and how the plan to deregulate the energy sector was faulty.
Now he is running for State Controller. The controller acts as the chief financial officer of the state. This includes the authority to have audits on state programs thus ensuring that they are being efficient.

Little is known of the history of Xandel Carivus, yet this man would become the temporary ruler of the Galactic Empire. With the death of Carnor Jax, the Imperial Interim Ruling Council took temporary control of the Empire, headed initially by Burr Nolyds, and consisting of mostly human warlords and even an unorthodox mix of alien leaders. Xandel Carivus was a lesser member of this council, never giving any political input on own. This changed when Carivus met a mysterious being known only as Nom Anor. Nom Anor's plots lead to the death of Burr Nolyds and other members of the Ruling Council. This caused the members of the council to choose a figurehead leader, and, just as Nom Anor planned, they choose the fat slob, Xandel Carivus. Thus began Carivus's disastrous rule of the Galactic Empire. His fall began with the assassination of one of his supporters, an assasination not planned by Nom Anor. When Nom Anor expressed no concern over the threat to Carivus's life, Carivus's response was to arrest all non-human members of the Council, and the biggest political threat to his rule, Feena D'asta. When even the humans on the Council began to turn against him, he began to lose his mind, leading to him disbanding the Ruling Council, and declaring himself the sole ruler and Emperor of the Empire. His reign is short lived, however. Baron D'asta, father of Feena D'asta and commander of a large fleet of Imperial ships, turns on Carivus for the imprisonment of his daughter. He refuses a deal with D'asta, and the Empire is is forced to fight on multiple fronts against countless enemies. Xandel Carivus's catastrophic rule came to an end when his palace was raided by Baron D'asta, New Republic agents, and Kir Kanos himself. Nom Anor has abandoned him, and the few guards left under his command did little to protect him. Kir Kanos, a rogue Imperial Guard who saw Carivus as partially responsible for the death of his master, Emperor Palpatine, dealt the final blow himself.

The things I miss most about my daddy are the small things like how he would wake me up in the mornings or how when I wear stockings he calls me liquorice legs.
I love you Daddy, your daughter--220.237.2.104 07:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

In the sport snooker, century break refers to scoring 100 points without missing a shot. The player does this by potting red balls and coloured balls alternately.
Scoring 100 points over the course of a whole frame is not a century. It must be done during one break (turn at the table). Points for a foul shot by the opponent do not count in the player's break.
The highest possible century in snooker is 147, composed of 15 reds, 15 blacks and the six remaining colours; yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.
Under exceptional circumstances, it is possible to score a break of 155. if a player comes to the table after a foul shot by the opponent and he is unable to hit both sides of any red ball, he may nominate one of the colours as a red. Under these circumstances, it is possible to pot 16 reds and blacks, plus 27 points for the six remaining colours, totalling 155 points.
To score a century, there must be at least ten reds on the table when the player comes to play. If there are nine red, then he can only score 99 (9x8 + 27 = 99)
The seven-time World Champion Stephen Hendry holds the record for century breaks in tournament play. He has made over 700 in tournament play.
The quickest recorded century break in tournament play was by Tony Drago. In the 1996 UK Championship, he took just 3 minutes 31 seconds (241 seconds) to score a hundred.
The youngest player to score a professional century break was Judd Trump at 14 years 206 days old.

== Electorate Engineering - The unique science of profiling how the voters will cast their votes in an election. It is believed to be used in an Asian country. ==
While voting is secret in that country, it is possible to increase the chances of winning an election if Electorate Engineering tactics are used, especially by a ruling party that controls the Election Department. In Singapore, the Elections Department is probably the only one in the world that reports directly to the Prime Minister Office. It is well known that during several elections, the electoral boundaries kept changing to the advantage of the ruling party headed by the People's Action Party (or PAP in short).
There is no need to tamper with the votes if you are just armed with the data analyzed from the voting patterns over several elections, a pretty good profiling report can be achieved.
Let me explain:
When voters in this and previous elections voted, they were guided into specific lanes and tables where our names are listed on the electorate registry. This specific lane and table that they are in, will have to cast their votes into a specific box for that lane and table. From that box, the data could be used to determine how many votes go to ruling party and the Oppositions, less the spoilt votes.
With that statistics, they can compare it with the voters group whose ballot paper were in that box.
The category factors they have already from other sources may includes:
• Sex • Age group • Language • Family size • Education levels • Voter’s income levels • Voter’s family income levels • Race • Religion • Occupation group • Entrepreneur or worker • Job – Government or Private • Job – if Government – Which ministries, depts., agencies, etc. • Job – if Government – Seniority positions group • Job – if Private – GLCs, local or foreign • Job – if Private – Seniority positions group • Job – Living here or overseas • Good Citizen History – crime, civil history of anti-ruling activities, etc. • Political Status – Apolitical or not • Political Status – if political, which party • Any family member with links to a political party • Any family member with links to a voter that will definitely vote for ruling party or for opposition • Other factors
With that is place, they can put the data into a complex formulae to calculate what is likely outcome of voters in any designated area: by blocks, by group of blocks, by street/road, by building, by GRC, and so on.
Why the Electoral boundary keep changing over the years?
Be adjusting and redrawing the boundaries for each election, they can safely guessed or assured themselves of the percentage that the ruling party supporters, and of course, diminishing the Opposition supporters as well.
With a certain percentage of key supporters in place within a designated boundary, they will then target the swing voters with incentives and programs to swing them to vote for them.
So far, the ruling party of a particular country has won elections for the last 40 years. They controlled parliament as high as 82 seats out of 84 seats for many many years.

Impact Player
An impact player is a specialist role in team sports. Impact Players are typically players in a sport that have a certain skill (ie Speed, Power) but cannot maintain their game play for prolonged periods. In American Football, Verron Haynes is a good example of an impact player- he is typically bought on for 3rd down situations. An example of an impact player in Australian Rules Football is Peter Riccardi of the Geelong Football Club who is able to supply a physical presence in the forward line and return to the bench when needed.

The Moulin Rouge opened on May 24, 1955, and was the first integrated hotel/casino in Las Vegas if not the nation. Until that time most all strip-casinos were totally segregated, off-limits to blacks unless they were the entertainment or low-paying labor. On top of this, discrimination helped to hem the black population into living on the "west side" of town:
- In the North by Washington Avenue;
- In the South by Bonanza Avenue;
- In the West by H Street;
- In the East by A Street
It was during this era that a caucasian man by the name of Will Max Schwartz saw the need for an integrated hotel. Will, along with other investors (including boxing-great Joe Lewis), built and opened the Moulin Rouge at 900 W. Bonanza Road.. This placed it comfortably in a prime location between the predominately white area of the strip and the largely black west side. The complex itself was two stuccoed buildings that contained the hotel, casino, and a theater. The exterior had the hotel's name in stylized cursive writing, and murals depicting dancing and fancy cars.
When it opened, the Moulin Rouge was fully integrated top to bottom from employees to patrons to entertainers.
A Short History
The popularity of the Moulin Rouge blew up almost overnight. The hotel made the June 20th, 1955 cover of Life magazine, with a photo of two female showgirls. A veritable A-List of 50-60's era performers regularly showed to party until dawn. Great black singers and musicians such as Sammy Davis, Jr., Nat King Cole, Pearl Bailey, and Louis Armstrong would perform often. These men were banned from gambling or staying at the hotels on the strip. In addition, white performers including George Burns, Jack Benny, and Frank Sinatra would drop in after their shows to gamble and perform. Eventually management added a 2:30am "Third Show" to accomodate the popularity and crowds.
A Sudden Closing & Lasting Impact
In November of 1955 the Moulin Rouge closed it's doors. Some say it was a victim of a casino oversaturation (the Moulin Rouge was one of 4 new hotels that ran into major financial issues that year). Some say it was poor management. The exact cause will probably never be known.
The short but brief life of the Moulin Rouge helped the civil-rights movement in Las Vegas. Many of those who enjoyed and were employed by the hotel became activists and supporters. The hotel was also the spark needed to bring an end to segregation on the strip.
Under threat of a protest down the Las Vegas Strip in March of 1960 against racial discrimination from Las Vegas casinos, a meeting was hurridly arranged by then-Govenor Grant Sawyer between hotel owners, city and state officials; local black leaders and then-NAACP president Dr. James McMillan. The meeting was held on March 26, 1960 at the closed Moulin Rouge, and lead to an agreement to desegregate all strip casinos.
The Moulin Rouge has been entered into the National Register of Historic Places.
An Ignoble End
Shuttered for decades, many plans had been hatched to rebuild and reopen the cultural landmark. However on May 29th, 2003 an fire ripped through the buildings, almost entirely gutting the complex. No witnesses have ever been found, no one has come forward with information leading to the cause of the fire, and to this day all that remains is the front visage with it's signature stylized name.

Hedsor House is a magnificent mid 19th Century Mansion set in landscaped gardens surrounded by parkland with wonderful views over the Thames Valley. Approached by a long wooded drive, Hedsor is forty minutes by car from London.
References to the Manor of Hedsor can be found from 1166 when the Estate was owned by the de Hedsor Family. In 1583 Rowland Hynd built a new Tudor Manor House at Hedsor which was badly damaged by fire in 1795 and eventually demolished in 1865. At about this time the Architect James Knowles was commissioned by the fourth Lord Boston to design a new house at Hedsor. It was completed in 1868 and, unusually, modelled on the Italian Villa style but with a domed hallway rather than an open courtyard.
The parkland surrounding Hedsor House is described as a "nationally important Historic Park" in a Government Factfile.

Missee Lee
Missee Lee is the 10th book in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series of children's books. It was published in 1941.
This book is set on a trio on small islands close to the Chinese Mainland. This is one of the two more fantastic stories involving the Swallow and Amazons together with Captain Flint (the other is Peter Duck). It describes an exotic foreign adventure in the classic matter-of-fact Ransome style, and introduces one of the most unforgettable Ransome characters, Missee Lee, the young pirate queen with a hankering to return to her Classics studies at Cambridge.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Plot Summary
The Swallows and Amazons are on a world cruise in the Wild Cat, and have just reached Shanghai. Leaving the port and sailing south down the coast of China, their ship is lost in a fire and they take to their dingies. The Amazons and Captain Flint are picked up by a Chinese pirate ship, while the Swallows land on the island base of the notorious Missee Lee, the daughter of the former pirate leader, who now rules the three pirate clans.
While the Amazons and Captain Flint are held for ransom, Missee Lee discovers that the Swallows know enough Latin for her to resume the studies she had to break off when her father died, and create a 'Cambridge University' in her own country. She purchases Flint and the Amazons, and sets up a Classics class. But the other clans are mutinous, and Missee Lee has broken her own rule of never holding British subjects (and especially not children of English naval officers, as the Swallows are).
Eventually, Missee Lee helps the Swallows and Amazons to escape, joining them to return to her beloved Cambridge. But in one of the most touching scenes in any of the Ransome books, on her realisation that war will break out amongst the clans on her departure, she returns to to the pirate island and her duty to her ancestors. The children and Captain Flint sail Missee Lee's junk back home to England.

MJ Rosenberg is the author of "IPF Friday," a weekly column on the Mideast distributed by e-mail to 25,000 subscribers. It is widely reprinted in the United States, Israel, and the Arab world, most notably in the Jerusalem Post, Beirut Daily Star, and Al Jazirah. It can be subscribed to (it's free) through www.israelpolicyforum.org.
IPF Friday is considered the most influential newsletter on Israeli-Palestinian issues. The line it takes is support for Israeli-Palestinian peace and the two-state solution. Rosenberg worked for AIPAC in the 1980's but after the Oslo agreement of 1993 broke with the AIPAC approach and became an active supporter of the two-state solution and of both Israeli and Palestinian rights. Previously he spent 17 years on Capitol Hill and five as as political appointee at the Clinton State Department.
In a recent column he wrote that "these days you cannot be pro-Israel without supporting the two-state solution i.e a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. Official pro-Israel spinners who engage in Palestinian bashing are working against Israel's long-term survival." Rosenberg also sends regular bulletins to Capitol Hill rebutting AIPAC's promotion of legislation designed to derail Israeli-Palestinian peace. MJ Rosenberg first came to the attention of the Jewish community when he authored "To Uncle Tom & Other Such Jews" in the Village Voice 1969. A college junior, Rosenberg urged leftwing students not to "support every national lineration struggle but your own: Zionism." That article helped kick off the radical Zionist movement on US campuses. Rosenberg moved away from that position after Oslo. He continues to support Israel but believes, as he said in a recent article, that "if you are anti-Palestinian, you are also anti-Israel. The fates of these two peoples are linked together. The Jewish Right, which has no sympathy for Palestinians and would deny them their basic rights -- including a state -- are no friends of Israel. Fortunately those types tend to live in the United States rather than in Israel, although Israel has an extremist minority as dangerous to Israel's future as their colleagues in Brooklyn."
