Yeah, good luck with that. The last thing I saw on TV was people from her plane made hops to at least four states.
The President should have just ordered people with passports and travel stamps from these countries to not be allowed to enter the US.
A travel ban would kill more people than Ebola ever would.
Due to western workers refusing to travel to certain countries in Africa because of Ebola, the Cocoa crop has already been threatened: http://www.reuters.com/article...
There are also travel bans between those countries. Because of that, the migrant workers that harvest them will have no work for the year. No income. Many will starve to death. MORE than would have been killed by Ebola. As bad as dieing from Ebola is, Starvation is worse.
Panic will always kill more people than the disease. Think critically before you demand action. The cable news networks are reveling in the profit they are making off of your panic.
Tell that to the millions of people that die from it every year. Ebola is like an airline crash. It's horrible to hear about and shocking... but likely to happen to you? No... You are far more likely to get killed by HIV, The Flu, Heart Disease than Ebola. Even if we have a major outbreak here.
Once you have a couple dozen actual cases on your hands, this method is quickly overwhelmed. All it takes is for a few infected people to slip through and infect several people before they can be found and isolated. Nigeria did the right thing and was lucky.
So you watched "The Stand" last night I take it? In real life it doesn't work that way. They are still using this method even in the hot spots where the potential contacts include just about the entire population. It lets them narrow down who to test and who to quarantine.
Before everyone gets all uptight... actually check this story out. It's a bunch of hype. Full Disclosure: I don't like Obama, didn't vote for him, etc... Though I'm not a republican either.
Reporters have alleged that the Obama White House exploits its role as distributor to "demand changes in pool reports" and has used this power to "steer coverage in a more favorable direction."
Of course they did. Wouldn't you if you were president?
On top of that, this is only for print journalists. All of the other Journalists (Cable/TV/Internet) already have external distribution systems to send this stuff out. This isn't an example of Whitehouse overreach. It's yet another example of Print Journalism being 30 years out of date.
Next they'll accuse the whitehouse of withholding their typewriter ribbon supplies to delay stories.
and it's not just that... Charter is very competitive. Their rates are usually a lot lower than the likes of Comcast and Time Warner. Don't get me wrong, their service is just as awful as everyone else but their rates are pretty damned good. If they let Comcast come in, their rates would definitely go up. That being said... who's going to buy up the franchise?
We adopted our son a few years ago. When you're going through the process you're required to take classes where they prepare you for this. Romanian and Russian orphanages are so horrific we specifically ruled out adopting from those countries. It's a tough choice but you have to weigh your families ability to deal with huge amounts of stress and the financial burden of years of therapy, drugs, etc...
We adopted from Ethiopia, which is a country that's renowned how well they care for their orphans despite the poverty. I saw the care centers, and the people that ran them. They rival daycares here in the US and the workers hugged and cried with my son when he left. Even despite that, the lack of a true 1on1 relationship with a mother has had a significant impact on my son. With women especially, he fears they'll leave him. He acts out to get attention. His teachers need to do special 1on1 activities with him to reassure him. Give him special tasks, etc. It's tough but he's otherwise a great kid and definitely smarter than I was at that age. It's the biggest challenge I've ever had in my life. I couldn't imagine what the famillies of those Romanian children are going through. My hat is off to them.
One of the first things they have you watch is this study from the 1950s where they gave monkeys a Fake wire mother that had milk and cloth mother that did not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Caution: it's emotionally disturbing to a lot of people. The monkey would rather starve on the cloth comforting mother than eat on the wire mother.
FYI, the Nexus 5 is GSM & CDMA, and works just fine on Sprint's network. The only reason it doesn't (or didn't -- maybe it's changed?) work on Verizon's network was because Verizon decided not to allow it, not technological incompatibility.
Right, which is the problem. If the carriers all allow it... it really is a carrier agnostic phone. I can not stand to be locked into a carrier or a contract. But given the current system you basically are. There is no point in getting a pay as you go phone, you can't GO anywhere.
I get it... you're confused about what the interview process is.
This is a sales pitch. You are selling yourself to that company. If they were trying to sell you their product, do you think they would hesitate to suggest it came with lots of things it really didn't? In fact, do you really believe all the perks they suggest are part of the job will come as easily as they'll lead you to believe? Of course not.
Let them believe what they want. Show them your "Stuff" and if they assume they get to use that for free, make sure to correct them after you're hired. If they aren't signing a contract for your IP during the interview, they have no right to anything just for hiring you.
Don't feel bad, I'm sure you'll find out all about what "Vested" means post-hiring as well and they certainly wont bat an eye. This is a game, play it.
Well... you have to keep in mind these things are almost all likely to be artillery shells. It's easy enough to pull the shell off the brass and put it on a new one. Reloading ammo isn't new or hard to do. They might lose a few workers in the process but I doubt they'd mind.
That sounds great and all... but court decisions that bankrupt companies result in pretty much the same thing every time. The company goes bankrupt and, at best, the lawyers get paid. Then the company reopens with all the same people that made the decision in charge but under new ownership and the debt gets written off. The old owners would be all those same employees that had their retirement in stock which is now worthless. The people in charge are long retired and don't care.
I agree that it's not fair, but there simply doesn't exist the legal mechanisms to make managers that made these decisions over a decade ago pay. The primary culprit seemed to be Steve Jobs and God took care of him.
No, I have a writing disorder and tend to type like that. Sorry. You should see my handwriting.:-) Keyboards have been a godsend for me.
Anyways... previous Nexus models were GSM which makes sense for the rest of the world. But in the US we have a lot of carriers that are CDMA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
GSM you can move from carrier to carrier. CDMA you cannot. I've very supprised to see they are going to both types of carriers. I found the specs: Channels, North America GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz CDMA Band Class: 0/1/10 WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8 LTE Bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41 CA DL Bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29
Does it have BOTH? Or are there 2 models of phone? If it has both, I'll be switching to this when my contracts up.
It appears that the person resorting to those tools already have decided that they don't trust their partner and wants a divorce. Now they are just looking to get out of it with a better economy than they would otherwise have. I guess the problem is that they married the wrong person and probably for the wrong reasons to begin with.
In modern divorce law it doesn't matter. It gets split 50/50 unless there's a prenup. Even if one spouse is an axe murderer. I think the courts got so sick of the circus the trials would turn into they just threw up their hands.
The only thing stuff like that will have a baring on is child custody. And infidelity still wont count. You'd have to have pretty strong evidence of them abusing drugs or something worse.
Economic activity = health. When industry breaks down, food can't be grown, people don't get paid, people starve to death... which is a far more horrific death than Ebola. The Cocoa crop is already likely to be a total loss this year because of border lockdowns. Now Cocoa is obviously not a staple, but its harvest was the sole source of income for hundreds of thousands of people in that area. Think about loosing an entire years salary and what that would do to your family. No imagine if you were already living hand-to-mouth. The overreaction to outbreaks like this ALWAYS kill more people than the disease itself. For the love of god, stop watching pandemic movies on discovery channel.
Oh... I was interested in this, and then saw it was Medium.com Meaning it would be overhyped nonsense and have nothing to do with the title of the story. Saddly, I was interested enough to read through it and prove my "Medium.com sux" theory is still correct.
You're not understanding. They have a working reactor. But it's only 1 meter by 2 meters. The prototype they are talking about is a full size reactor which will put out enough power for a city and fit on the back of a truck.
To everyone who was saying we had to invest more in ITER, or that if we had of been increasing our funding of Tokomak related work was anything but a big science pork barrel.
A lot of this groups work was based on what was learned at ITER. They actively talk about ITER quite a bit in a lot of their talks. I don't think anyone thought ITER was anything more than a research project. It did exactly what it was supposed to do and spurred innovation.
Yes there were... they were FISSION reactors. Required tech that could be easily modified to produce weapons and cost billions to build.
The fuel for this thing is literally found in tap water. It cannot be used for weapons. The reactor can fit on the back of a truck. We have yet to see the cost but it's guaranteed to be a tiny fraction of what a nuclear reactor would cost.

So, USA is following safety standards equivalent to those in Nigeria?
Ever been to Africa? I have. They know a hell of a lot more about infectious disease than we do. They deal with it every day.

No, but there's precedent. Which is what counts in court.

I have a 1MW block of concrete you'll be interested in seeing;
Actually, I would be interested in seeing you input 1MW into a block of concrete. Got a youtube link?
In the meantime, ob. fun bideos

There is far far far more than a megawatt of energy in a block of concrete already.
