text: The proliferation of ontologies and multilingual data available on the Web has motivated many researchers to con- tribute to multilingual and cross-lingual ontology enrichment. Cross-lingual ontology enrichment greatly facilitates ontology learning from multilingual text/ontologies in order to support collaborative ontology engineering process. This article proposes a cross-lingual ontology enrichment (CLOE) approach based on a multi-agent architecture in order to enrich ontologies from a multilingual text or ontology. This has several advantages: 1) an ontology is used to enrich another one, written in a different natural language, and 2) several ontologies could be enriched at the same time using a single chunk of text (Simultaneous Ontology Enrichment). A prototype for the proposed approach has been implemented in order to enrich several ontologies using English, Arabic and German text. Evaluation results are promising and showing that CLOE performs well in comparison with four state-of-the-art approaches.

Kelly Clarkson In A Relationship
Be still my beating heart, I thought this day might never come! Recently on a Toronto radio station, Kelly Clarkson let the cat out of the bag…she's not single! And she's not single with a man! When asked if she had a boyfriend, she said: "I do! I have a new boyfriend. Well, not a new one. I haven't had, I haven't dated in a while." And then she explains: "They're just like, 'we heard you're engaged!' and I'm like, 'No, I'm not engaged,' so I just haven't actually given the whole truth."
Sneaky girl, way to keep us guessing!

While many people break their New Year's resolutions it's not too late to make a recommitment to your health and wellbeing in 2015. One of the simplest changes you can make is to change your drinking habits.
Not that kind of drinking, but the everyday drinks you consume each day.
Changing that habit is a small step in the right direction and can be a huge factor in pushing forward into a healthier diet and lifestyle.
While water is the best thing you can drink sometimes you need something a little different, so I'm sharing a few drinks I love, especially on the go.
Kombucha Wonder Drink
Kombucha Wonder Drink is a fermented tea that is bubbly and perfect for the holidays. The tea is made from pasteurized and raw kombucha which contain naturally occurring acids that can lead to more energy according to the manufacturer. It's available in cans as well as resealable glass bottles.
You can drink it straight from the can or a glass chilled or you can create a cocktail with a healthy kick. Here's a cocktail I created with the Essence of Juniper Berry, Spearmint & Lemon Mrytle Kombucha.
I tried this drink over the holidays and loved it. It's full of flavor without being overly sweet. While the bottles are somewhat costly I would drink them over time so it lasted a couple of days. The flavors are also pretty unusual.
You can buy Kombucha Wonder Drink on Amazon.
Bai 5
Bai 5 has been our go-to drink for my husband and I as we're trying to get fit and lose weight. At only 10 calories a bottle it's a great low-calorie flavored drink that has none of the artificial stuff. It also has caffeine which gives us an additional energy boost without the need for another cup of coffee.
The caffeine comes from coffeefruit, the outer shell of the coffee bean, which is full of healthy antioxidants. It's sweetened with erythrithol, a natural sweetener.
We purchase on Amazon and at our local Wegman's. Each bottle is approximately $2 per bottle, but you can find sales occasionally or discounts on cases at your local grocery store.
You can buy Bai 5 on Amazon.
Disclosure: I received Kombucha Wonder Drink to sample.

How to cook
Pre-soak the beans and chickpeas overnight in separate bowls. The next day, boil them with drops of oil. Drain and cool.
Mix them in a large pot and add the chopped onions and peppers to them. Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper separately from the veggies. Pour it over the bean salad and mix it with the finely crushed parsley.
Let the prepared salad stand covered in a refrigerator for about an hour and serve. The quantities of spices, oil and vinegar are to taste.

Tone cluster
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
A tone cluster is a musical chord comprising at least three consecutive tones in a scale. Prototypical tone clusters are based on the chromatic scale, and are separated by semitones. For instance, three adjacent piano keys (such as C, C♯, and D) struck simultaneously produce a tone cluster. Variants of the tone cluster include chords comprising consecutive tones separated diatonically, pentatonically, or microtonally. On the piano, such clusters often involve the simultaneous striking of successive white or black keys.
The early years of the twentieth century saw tone clusters elevated to central roles in pioneering works by ragtime artists Jelly Roll Morton and Scott Joplin. In the 1910s, two classical avant-gardists, composer-pianists Leo Ornstein and Henry Cowell, were recognized as making the first extensive explorations of the tone cluster. During the same period, Charles Ives deployed them in several compositions that were not publicly performed until the late 1920s or 1930s. Composers such as Béla Bartók and, later, Lou Harrison and Karlheinz Stockhausen became proponents of the tone cluster. Today, tone clusters play a significant role in the work of free jazz musicians such as Cecil Taylor and Matthew Shipp, as well as the work of many modern classical composers.
In most Western music, tone clusters tend to be heard as dissonant. Clusters may be performed with almost any individual instrument on which three or more notes can be played simultaneously, as well as by most groups of instruments or voices. Keyboard instruments are particularly suited to the performance of tone clusters because it is relatively easy to play multiple notes in unison on them.

Dealing with Spiritual Doubt as a Pagan – Personal Spiritual Experiences
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, whether you are newly walking the Pagan path or if you have been wandering in the woods for a while, we all experience spiritual doubt.

Anyone out there remember them? A band that came and went way too fast. Razor Crusade was most likely THE band on Reflections that really could have made it to the mainstream. Unfortunately, it was never ment to be. The band recorded 4 new songs right before they broke up six years ago. Those got never released to the public since now. Check it out. They're amazing.
SUFFERING QUOTA will release their debut 12" this coming winter. More news on the exact release date and pre-orders coming soon.http://sufferingquota.bandcamp.com
INHERIT's debut 7" will be released by Reflections Records this coming autumn. More news on the exact release date and pre-orders coming soon.
Check out this site for some great pictures of the last show at W2, Den Bosch of the Reflections Records 2011 Tour!
NO TURNING BACK – Take Control. LP is up for pre-order! We expect these to be ready for shipping around mid February but if you order it now (and are quick) you can be sure to receive the limited colored vinyl!
As with the CD version, we also offer exclusive LP package deals with shirts/longsleeves/hoodies that are not available anywhere else!
Those who ordered the CD (with or without the great new shirt/llongsleeve/hoodie): We shipped them all out and you should receive them very soon!
While most people have celebrated the holidays by hanging out and doing nothing, Ritual worked their asses off at the studio to record (most of) their upcoming new album. From what the guys have been telling us, they're going absolutely bezerk and said that they wanted to create the most in-depth album they could possibly make. Without wanting to compare themselves with the geniuses from Refused, the band said they wanted to create their very own "Shape of Punk To Come"… Quite a statement we'd say but knowing these guys and knowing their musical interest, Ritual could very well come up with something absolutely amazing! We're patiently waiting for more details and sounds.
Check out the band's blog at: ritualblogspot.com for news on upcoming tours (with Ills and Soul Control!) and the status of their new recordings
We're getting stoked!

Headlines: Student Tiger Tamer Gets Mauled (Norman Costa)
Barack Obama reminds me of Woodrow Wilson after WWI. Wilson and Obama are interesting contrasts. Wilson had a great deal to do with getting the League of Nations off the ground. The League was never really effective, but it paved the way for the United Nations. Wilson was unable to get the US Congress to ratify America's membership in the League. Why? Because he was totally unwilling to compromise with the opposition.
Obama, on the other hand, seemed totally unwilling to take the reins in his own hands and act decisively - perhaps acting unilaterally to raise the debt ceiling under the 14th Amendment. Bill Clinton advised as such. Raise the debt ceiling and let the courts catch up with him later, if they can.
Wilson was inflexible because he considered a charter and organization for peace to be a moral imperative and an inviolable principle. Obama was inflexible in wanting compromise and compelling Congress (and both parties) to take responsibility for the state of the Nation's economy. It was his honor bound duty to change the ugly stripes of the dysfunctional tiger.
The 1919 Treaty of Versailles, with the help of an enabling League of Nations, led directly to WWII and the continuation of a 130 year war that started in 1870 (Franco-Prussian) and ended in 1999 with the final disposition of the Baltic States. It rolled over Wilson as if he were not there.
The political system in Congress is rolling over Obama. It will make a political irrelevancy of the highly principled Obama just as it did to the highly principled Jimmy Carter and Woodrow Wilson. Obama doesn't have to disown his principles. He just has to add a few, like taking names, kicking ass, taking no prisoners, and shooting the ones he has.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Obama could integrate his ideals with the master politician of a Bill Clinton and the tough as nails, Bad-ass of a Rohm Emmanuel? Well, we don't have a Lyndon Johnson any more, but we have the next best thing. Hillary Clinton. Trouble is, I do not think she is up for another shot at it.
Paul Weiner has some interesting thoughts on Barack Obama's state of mind. Read more HERE.

How To Plan An Amazing Home Remodeling Project
No matter whether you're experienced or not, you are able to enhance your life with home improvement. The house in which you live is actually a large part of your life. The following facts are designed to help you a sense of what to do to boost your property and thus improve your life.
Determine the alterations that you are going to make before starting the renovation. An agenda is important to get a successful project. Adding impulse features in the center of the project may cause your costs to skyrocket along with your period of time to escalate. You will also find much happier contractors if you are aware exactly what you want prior to construction starting.
Before investing in new hardwood, talk to a specialist relating to your current floors. In many cases, there may be hardwood flooring hidden under existing carpeting or linoleum. Existing hardwood flooring looks beautiful with a brand new finishC-Bus Installer Berkshire You will get nicer floors while spending a lot less.
Such things as the downspouts, gutters and chimneys tend to be forgotten around the house. It is crucial to think about these areas and repair them if required. Water damage and mold from clogged gutters might be avoided by regular cleaning.
Chimneys require a yearly inspection and sweeping in order to avoid disastrous chimney fires.
Just before beginning focus on any electrical appliance or lighting fixture, be sure the circuit breaker switch for the area of the property is turned off. Failing to do so can bring about serious injury and even death.
A property with a nice view is often slightly more valuable. However, the extra cost might not be worthwhile to others. Potential customers will not be as interested in the scene since you are, and may now want to spend extra bucks because of it.
Brighten your house by utilizing new handles and knobs! Replacing knobs on cabinets can be a fantastic way to impact the style of your home. Before installing the latest knobs, execute a deep cleaning of your own cabinets. It's much a smaller hassle when you don't have to deal with the knobs banging around. All you need to do is screw the knobs on the cabinets.
Install peepholes with your exterior doors. Then, it is possible to know that is on the opposite side of the door before you decide to open it. It's simple and inexpensive to put in a peephole within your door. It takes only your time and efforts and a drill. A peephole allows you to confirm that it is really your brother in the door rather than a home invader.
Nobody should ever even consider hiring a contractor for redesigning jobs that is not licensed by a certified board or body. Every state requires you to definitely possess some form of certification if you're an over-all contractor or possibly a sub-contractor. Even though the requirements are not an assurance your contractor is competent for the task, they are needed by law. Unlicensed contractors will not be insured. This makes working with them very risky.
Because of this, perfecting your house can improve your self-esteem. It is depressing in which to stay an area that doesn't look nice or is failing in the seams. We hope that this information will help you make positive improvements at your residence that will assist you enjoy returning to it at the end of on a daily basis..

Laminar operation room installation not only requires highly clean air, but also controls the direction of air flow. It makes the airflow flow from the high cleanliness operation area to the low cleanliness area, and takes away and draining dust particles (dust particles) and bacteria in the airflow.
Laminar flow is a thin, thin air flow that is transported in the same direction at a uniform flow rate. In order to control the air cleanliness in the space environment, the air cleanliness is suitable for various kinds of operation. And provide suitable temperature and humidity, create a clean, comfortable, low bacterial number of surgical space environment, so that patients can be injured as little as possible during operation.
Laminar operation room installation is a project that a hospital must carry out, because many operations need to be carried out in laminar flow room. We are not engaged in such work, but may not know its principles.
But one thing we all know is that after the completion of this project, the purification effect is indispensable. This is very important. Let's see the effect of most operation room installations.
In order to create a comfortable environment conducive to work for medical staff, we must meet the strict requirements of air temperature, humidity, wind speed, freshness and cleanliness, noise and so on during the operation process.
因此,医院会采用层流手术室安装的方式,一般区域严格划分,有着明确的流向和严谨的平面功能区域。 手术室净化工程是采用空气洁净技术对微生物污染采取程度不同的控制,达到控制空间环境中空气洁净度适于各类手术之要求。并提供 适宜的温、湿度,创造一个洁净舒适的手术空间环境。
Therefore, the hospital will adopt the method of laminar operation room installation, the general area is strictly divided, there is a clear direction of flow and rigorous plane function area. The operation room purify engineering is to control the microorganism pollution by air cleaning technology, so as to control the air cleanliness in the space environment and meet all kinds of operation requirements. And provide a suitable temperature and humidity to create a clean and comfortable operating space environment.

As enterprises embrace a mix of cloud and on-premises deployments of key IT assets, they are using PAM for hybrid cloud security.
Hybrid IT security: making it work
The only thing that's arguably more irritating than having your know-it-all brother-in-law ask you for free tech support is when he corners you at a party and asks you, "So, you're moving everything to the cloud. Am I right?" Yup. That's about where non-IT people think things are at, but you know better.
What can you say to your brother-in-law, other than "Please, get a life!"? You could mutter, "It's a little more complicated than that" and wander off in search of another beer. What you want to say is, "There is no cloud. There are clouds – public and private, with a lot of different, specialized platforms like IaaS, PaaS, DRaaS, DBaaS and on and on… Plus, the heavy iron we already paid for and spent years setting up in the data center – that's not going anywhere anytime soon…"
That beer is looking pretty appetizing, but you will still have to deal with a lot of unknowns in the cloud when the party's over. Industry hype is one thing. Reality is another. The cloud has plenty of cost and agility benefits. However, for many reasons, the migration from on-premise infrastructure to the cloud is going to take a while and it may never be finished. For one thing, some systems simply aren't built for the cloud. They'll be end-of-life before it will ever make sense to transition them. Security, performance and compliance concerns keep other IT assets out of the cloud.
Hybrid IT is emerging as a common solution for established companies. In this approach, an IT department selectively moves systems to the cloud as they are ready. Some organizations create a "cloud first" rule where any new system automatically goes into the cloud. Eight out of ten enterprises have embraced Hybrid IT, according to an industry survey. The problem is Hybrid IT security. In the same survey, 62% of respondents worried that they were "flying blind."
Nearly two-thirds of IT managers surveyed were not sure what they were running in the cloud.
The Challenge of Hybrid IT Security and PAM
If you work with Privileged Access Management (PAM), that's a frightening statistic. How can you know what your privileged users are doing if you don't even know what you're running in the cloud?
The noted enterprise architect and author, Dan Sullivan, explored Hybrid IT security issues in his article, Five hybrid cloud security issues to overcome. Compliance was one area of concern for Sullivan. He wrote, "Maintaining and demonstrating compliance can be more difficult with a hybrid cloud. Not only do you have to ensure that your public cloud provider and private cloud are in compliance, but you also must demonstrate that the means of coordination between the two clouds is compliant." Demonstrating compliance will involve defining and enforcing policies for Privileged Access Management for Hybrid IT. Controlling and managing privileged users make possible compliance.
Sullivan also noted that hybrid constructs rely on APIs and complex network configurations that "push the limits of traditional system administrators' knowledge and abilities…hybrid cloud is a complex system that admins have limited experience in managing -- and that creates risk." With admins struggling like this, how will you deal with privileged users in such an environment?
Sullivan touches on this point, commenting, "Existing security controls such as authentication, authorization and identity management will need to work in both the private and public cloud. To integrate hybrid cloud security protocols, there are two options:
- Either replicate controls in both clouds and keep security data synchronized, or
- Use an identity management service that provides a single service to systems running in either cloud.
Allocate sufficient time during your planning and implementation phases to address what could be fairly complex integration issues."
While true, what he's talking about is not easy to do with most identity and privileged access management (PAM) solutions. Privileged Access Management in Hybrid IT demands a level of flexibility and ubiquity that most solutions simply don't provide.
PAM needs to be able to work with any privileged account on any platform in the hybrid IT environment. In order to provide effective hybrid IT security, a PAM solution has to be easy to deploy, simple and efficient to maintain regardless of whether it's on a legacy system, a private cloud or a public cloud.
It won't surprise you that we're here to tell you that the WALLIX solution is all of that.
WALLIX for Privileged Access Management in Hybrid IT
WALLIX's PAM solution establishes pervasive, sustainable PAM across the Hybrid IT environment. Its single gateway has single sign-ons for access by system admins. With this capability, the IT department can define and enforce access policies for admins as well as for the employees who need system access. Wallix AdminBastion Suite is able to span cloud and on-premises system deployments.
WAB Suite's agent-less architecture is well-suited to the highly varied infrastructure scenarios found in Hybrid IT. Other PAM solutions require a software agent installed on each target system. This is effectively a non-starter when systems are spread out across multiple platforms in cloud and on-premises combinations. When agents are required, PAM will likely be abandoned or neglected to the point where it won't perform its basic functions. WAB Suite helps ensure that you won't fall into this trap.

The bottom of each leg is sealed with a fully welded threaded insert that accommodates a non-removable adjustable glide. Or choose the bolt-down option. The legs affix to the table top with tamper-resistant screws into T-nuts permanently embedded in the underside of the table – for a secure metal-to-metal connection. Optional 2 1/2" legs provide an attractive residential alternative. This table provides superior stability and easy access for floor maintenance.

Flink Dashboard
Stream pipelines have a useful tool for monitoring and inspecting stream jobs' execution. The Flink framework includes a Web Console that is active for all Flink jobs in the
Running state. Similar to the Flink Dashboard, it is called the Flink Dashboard and can be accessed directly from within HERE platform. This article explains how to access the Flink UI and some of its basic functions.
Using Flink Dashboard
Flink Dashboard is automatically started when a stream pipeline job is initiated. It can be accessed from the OLP Portal or from the OLP CLI.
The best way to reach the Flink Dashboard is through the OLP Portal. Figure 1 shows a typical display for a running batch pipeline. On the right side of the screen you can see two links:
See Log and
Open Flink Dashboard.
Alternately, OLP CLI command
pipeline job show can be used to get the
pipeline UI URL for the Flink Dashboard for a Stream pipeline.
Note: Logging in
If you have not already logged into the Flink Dashboard in your current session, you will be requested to do so using the normal OLP sign-in dialog. Use your normal OLP credentials. Cookies are used to maintain your current session information.
Open Flink Dashboard link in the Portal or the
pipeline UI URL link in the CLI opens the Flink Dashboard in your browser as illustrated in figure 2.
The Flink Dashboard provides important details about the Running jobs, Taskmanager, Jobmanager, Backpressure.
This version of the Flink Dashboard has been modified to be compatible with HERE platform. There are some functions that might be available in a native Flink environment that are not available here. For example, it is not allowed to manage the Flink job from within the Flink Dashboard, that is, a job cannot be submitted or canceled from the Flink Dashboard in HERE platform. All pipeline operations are only allowed from the pipeline UI. When referring to other Flink Dashboard documentation references, you may see discussions of features that are missing here. Those missing features are not compatible with HERE platform.

It was a rainy night, a windy night—a night, my cousin, LaRue, and I would never forget. But let me start from the beginning…
A few days before the torrential rain and gusty winds, LaRue and I discovered a tiny little leak in the ceiling right above our bed. When I say small, I mean a drip every ten minutes or so. As we watched the drip, it was decided that since we were teens, surely, we could figure out how to fix the hole without telling my parents.
As I remember, the conversation went something like this; "Do you think we can fix the hole?" asked LaRue. "Maybe we could plug up the hole," I replied. "I have some gum in my purse," said LaRue. "It might work!" I exclaimed.
LaRue got out of bed, walked to her purse, took out a piece of fruity gum, and started chewing. When it was ready, I stood on the bed and pushed the wet, sticky wad up into the tiny hole. It seemed to do the trick. We turned off the light and went to sleep.
During the night, LaRue woke me up and told me she had a wet foot. I turned on the light and noticed the gum we thought solved our problem was on top of our blanket, which was getting wet. We looked at each other and thought for a few minutes. Finally, LaRue said, "I have an idea. We could use the plastic bag from the cleaners to stop the leak."
LaRue and I folded the bag and then used tacks to attach it to the ceiling. I took the wet blanket off and put on a dry one, then we both fell back to sleep.
LaRue woke up about an hour later and poked my shoulder. "Cindy, look up." I looked up and saw a bubble – not a small bubble but a rather large one, getting bigger by the second. We decided to watch it a little longer before we woke my folks. Mistake! Like a flash-forward scene from a movie, the tacks flew in every direction, and the nicely folded plastic bag filled with heavy rainwater fell from the ceiling and landed on our bed. We were soaked! Picture this – two wet teens jumping out of bed – screaming with pink curlers escaping from their heads, flying here and there, wet pajamas and feet, pointing to the little hole that had mysteriously grown.
Within a matter of minutes, we heard the sound of our doorknob turning, and the squeaking of the door opening. There stood Mom and Dad with a questioning look on their faces. They could not believe their eyes. After a lot of explaining, and punishment of washing the blankets, bedding, and mopping the floor, Mom and Dad walked out of our room, and closed the door. I remember hearing muffled laughter then, "Those girls are like two peas in a pod." I thought to myself, Yes, Mom, two wet peas in a pod!

Cosmopolitanism: Contents and Discontents
June 7, 2008
I'd like to speak of two very different contexts in which cosmopolitanism flourished in an attempt to draw out some of its broader lessons. The first is 17th century Amsterdam; the second is Soviet Russia in the 1920s and 1930s.
It can be argued that Benedict (Baruch) de Spinoza, that great harbinger of modernity, is the most famous heretic of all time. The scientific revolution and the retreat from ecclesiastical authority are at the very heart of modernity, and Spinoza's pantheistic universe and ultimate excommunication from the Jewish community of Amsterdam are widely pointed to as events signifying the changing times. But what was it that allowed Spinoza to become a celebrated western (and later, Jewish) philosopher while the conversos who came before him, like Uriel da Costa who expressed skeptical views and criticized the Jewish community (kahal), were to suffer ignoble and medieval punishment only to be tossed to the margins of history?
The answer has largely to do with the nascent cosmopolitan atmosphere in Amsterdam at the time. With the Dutch East India Company securing tea and coffee from abroad, the seat of the empire boasted a cafe culture into which Spinoza could escape. The true power of excommunication lied in the social separation it enforced – one could neither engage in business with nor talk to a Jew placed in herem. Acosta killed himself when he could not bring his worldview into line; Spinoza, a mere 50 years later, enjoyed the company of a coterie of fellow religious skeptics, Jewish and gentile alike. If the mercantilist-capitalist success of the Dutch empire at home and abroad provided the base, the superstructure was pure cosmopolitanism.
Fast forward some three hundred years. Stalin's campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans", mentioned by our able and knowing Dash, made worldliness in culture a political liability. Fear of infiltration and of insufficient allegiance to the Party lead to a rash of political assassinations among the cultural elites. Stalin's ever increasing paranoia, combined with the fact that Communism was, despite its ideological origins, essentially a Russian nationalist political movement, made the "citizen of the world" a danger to the Revolution. Incidentally, the young radicals at the City College of New York who would eventually become the New York intellectuals bewailed these very purges and used Stalin's repression as fodder in their debates with those who towed the party line. Cosmopolitanism gave birth to neoconservatism and American exceptionalism? Perhaps it's an overly teleological narrative but the argument can be made.
My ultimate analysis is ambivalent and disjointed. Cosmpolitanism, whether in the age of the first multinational corporation or today when the multinational rules the world in this era of globalization, represents both opportunity and potential danger as NWABang has already explained. Greater global interdependence means greater cultural awareness and provides us with more options. If the 20th century saw nationalism go awry, perhaps a New World Order is very much…in order. The values that could govern such a world be, de facto, be cosmopolitan. Then again, human beings need an in-group, a sense of "we" and "us", despite the othering this requires. – its good for our socialization to have a tradition and an inherited body of custom. Though Stalin was unequivocally wrong, there is logic to his thinking. The cosmopolitan is by definition loyal only to his or her sense of cultural attainment. He or she is often a free-thinker in the society he or she inhabits. While there is an important role for such intellectual activity, allegiance to king and country has its virtues as well, a sentiment the intelligentsia on the left would do well to remember from time to time. What do I know? I know enough to say I do not know.

"He's very very frail, he doesn't have long."
Joe Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson, is reportedly close to death at the age of 89.
The music manager's family claims that their father 'does not have long' left to live, but he has banned them from visiting after his condition took a nosedive earlier this week.
Jermaine Jackson, 63, told the Daily Mail: "He's very very frail, he doesn't have long. The family needs to be by his bedside – that's our only intention in his final days."
Although Jackson has battled illness for a lengthy period, he reportedly gave verbal instructions in recent days to stop his family from accessing his medical records or visiting him.
Despite the request, he was eventually visited at his Las Vegas hospital by wife Katherine Jackson, daughters Rebbie and Joh'Vonnie, and granddaughter Yashi Brown.
Jermaine added: "No one knew what was going on – we shouldn't have to beg, plead, and argue to see our own father, especially at a time like this.
"We have been hurting. We were not being told where he was and couldn't get the full picture. Even from the doctor. My mother was worried sick. It's what any family would want, but some people around him think they know better… and they don't".
He reportedly suffers from dementia, as well as blindness after suffering a stroke in 2015.
Jackson first began managing sons Jackie, Tito and Jermaine as a musical trio in the early 1960s.
But they later became The Jackson 5, with younger sons Marlon and Michael joining before they signed a Motown Records deal in 1969 that transformed them into global stars.
The music manager faced criticism in later life, when his grown up children began to document the abuse they had received at his hands while managing the band.
In 2017, Jackson admitted he was "truly sorry" for the way he had treated his children.

When I was contacted by Mary Kate of Prima Princessa and Tutu Zone and asked if I would like to review their new video, Prima Princessa Presents: Swan Lake there was not a hesitation at all. Having taken dance for 15 years, I love anything that is dance related and the fact that this DVD was made in such a way that my 3 year old would enjoy it as well just made it all the better. Not to mention my daughter thinks she is going to be the next principal dancer for the New York City Ballet.
Prima Princess was produced by Mary Kate Mellow and Stephanie Troeller who are both stay-at-home moms who despite no prior movie-making experience teamed up to produce this show. They were both inspired by their children's love of dance.
From the producer in an email:
"Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake" is a hip new ballet DVD for kids featuring the Paris Opera Ballet and Students from School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center, Official Academy of New York City Ballet. Our 40 minute DVD is a cool, fun, beautiful show with a brain. Prima Princessa, an animated fairy ballerina, magically transports a group of little girls to see the Paris Opera Ballet performs select segments of Swan Lake. In between acts, the children return home to learn simple ballet steps which are playfully shown mixed into colorful montages of toys, animals, children and young dancers from the School of American Ballet. This children's ballet DVD makes a great gift for young kids.
The description sent to me in the email, had me a little leery I will say. I though there is no way my daughter is going to sit and enjoy a 40 minute video even if there is dancing in it and I was completely wrong! My daughter was taken in from the moment it began and did not quit watching until it was over. It was perfect!
Prima Princessa had four short acts from Swan Lake, enough to tell the story yet not too much that was overwhelming for a 3 year old. The dancing was of course magnificent. It is narrated by an animated ballerina and my daughter absolutely loved watching her and listening to her. In fact she would run up to the television every time the narrator was shown.
After each act there was an intermission where the little girls on the video, as well as dancers in a studio showed you some of the basic steps in ballet such as a jete, grande battement, and pirouette. My daughter watched and tried to do everything just as they were showing. Though not with the greatest of ease but she still caught on and was able to do all the moves. She giggled along with the little girls doing the moves on t.v.
This is definitely a DVD I would recommend if you are someone who has a daughter. If it can be enjoyed by my daughter and make her show her girly side, she has two older brothers so girly is not seen often in this house, then it will be perfect for any little girl out there. Even if you are not a little girl you may still enjoy it, I know I did and I will be watching it again for sure, with or without my daughter.

The Livestock & Forestry Research Station was established by the Arkansas General Assembly in 1937 making it the fourth oldest "branch" unit of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. The initial purpose of the station was to study land utilization through livestock and forestry and demonstrate erosion control and land reclamation of the sloping soils that were used for cotton or timber production in the Ozark limestone region. The land was purchased by Independence County and deeded to the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees to be used only for the purpose of maintaining a research station. The original allocation was one tract of 2155 acres for land use, livestock, pasture, and crops studies of economic importance to the area and another of 887 acres mostly in virgin hardwoods. Soon after the land was acquired construction began with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC). Initial construction included six miles of roads, seven miles of fencing, a mile-long grass spillway, five buildings and laboratories, and the establishment of plots and pastures.
The mission has since evolved into forage and beef cattle research, which complements the most common land use in the surrounding area. With the completion in 1998, the Station was revitalized with the construction of a new office and meeting room complex, residence, mechanic shop, and updating of the cattle handling facilities and hay barns.

L'étude des activités hydrologiques menées au cours des cinquante dernières années dans les pays francophones de l'Afrique sub-saharienne apporte un précieux éclairage sur les difficultés rencontrées, les modes de collaboration adoptés et l'ampleur des défis à relever dans le domaine de l'eau à l'aube du troisième millénaire.
Ceci est l'occasion de tracer les étapes marquantes de l'acquisition de la " connaissance hydrologique " depuis l'ère pionnière des années 50 jusqu'aux programmes scientifiques les plus récents faisant appel à des technologies avancées. Cette rétrospective permet également d'apprécier l'évolution des modes de partenariat entre acteurs scientifiques, techniques et économiques du Nord et du Sud.
Ces travaux et recherches ainsi entrepris et développés montrent à la fois l'importance du savoir acquis et la nécessité de poursuivre les études en cours. Ils dressent aussi un constat encourageant quant à l'avenir des projets régionaux africains en hydrologie grâce au renforcement des relations scientifiques entre pays de la région.

This article describes a study of hydrological research carried out in the French-speaking countries of sub-Saharan Africa over the past fifty years, by all the parties concerned.
The work sheds useful light on the difficulties encountered, the types of co-operation adopted, and the scale of the challenge now facing the region in the matter of water resources, on the eve of the third millennium.
The first stage in the acquisition of hydrological knowledge in the region was the pioneer period of the 1950s, when many different kinds of water demand were emerging very fast but hydrological information was almost nil. Hydrometric networks incorporating 1,500 instrument stations had to be rapidly set up for an overall survey of water resources. 200 representative or experimental catchments were equipped. The data obtained from the stations provided practical answers, meeting the operational needs of development, though in many cases the data acquired were used again, later on, for pure research purposes. The data gathering was a huge task, carried out on a range of different geographical scales. To achieve it, hydrologists had to develop appropriate methodologies for the region's tough climate and difficult field conditions; they also had to train highly motivated, seasoned hydrologists.
During the sixties, the first hydrological monographs on the major river basins were completed,, rue Lafayette - research was conducted on regimes and ten-year flood peaks, and findings on the small catchments were collated. All this provided a first sketch of the region's main hydrological features.
Two major upheavals marked the end of the 1960s: a long, disastrous drought and the information technology revolution.
The scale of the hydropluviometric deficits recorded over several decades, amounting in some catchments to 30%-40%, led scientists to wonder how stable water resources really are and whether the notion of "normal" in hydrology or rainfall has any validity. The question was especially relevant because the design of all major African water engineering schemes completed around 1960-65 was necessarily influenced by the flow rates recorded in the previous, wet period. Changes in ground surface states and the environment in general, under the impact of climate change and increasing human activity respectively, made a more multidisciplinary approach to the hydrological cycle indispensable.
Information technology also had a major impact, as the many numerical data gathered could at last be properly analysed and exploited. User-accessible reference databases were developed and processing software packages like Hydrom and Pluviom were widely distributed. It was now possible to model the relations between rainfall and discharges at a detailed scale; modelling improved steadily, first with the introduction of fine-mesh models, then of coupled surface water-groundwater models.
As regards water engineering work, flood routing models were significantly improved for the Niger and Senegal rivers, and dam operation simulation models made spectacular strides. Of course, data processing greatly facilitated the use of statistical laws for everything to do with engineering hydrology.
For several decades, metrology made little progress; but the instruments in use were robust and easy to use, and so well suited to local conditions. Not until the early 1980s was there significant technological progress in sensor technology; meanwhile civilian satellites made their debut and were used from the outset to facilitate hydrological data gathering, verification and transmission. Two applications illustrate this use locally. One is the Hydroniger project, involving eight countries bordering on the Niger and designed to produce an operational, real-time hydrological forecasting system on the river basin; the other is the Onchocerciasis Control Program, with WHO. In this program, discharge data in only slightly delayed time has made it possible to calculate the right dose of insecticide to add to infected rivers.
Over the past ten or fifteen years, hydrological research has considerably extended its scope, to include spatialised hydrological parameters, soil/water/plant/atmosphere relations, soil erosion and conservation, geochemistry, hydrochemistry, etc. Meanwhile, sub-Saharan Africa has not been left out of the international organisations' programs involving operational or pure research hydrology, and it is making its contribution to the great challenges that face us with regard to water resources and management. Examples are the WMO WHYCOS project to establish permanent monitoring systems; the AOC-FRIEND program, a regional research project, which has been growing in strength; and the Hapex-Sahel experiment, designed to provide more information on the thermal and moisture characteristics of soil and vegetation, for integration into general atmospheric circulation models.
Forms of collaboration among the partners involved in hydrology in this part of Africa have naturally changed over the course of fifty years. In the beginning, demand from local technical services set up a particular form of partnership with hydrology experts from the North. After independence, scientific and technical co-operation developed along with a policy for training management-level staff to build up national hydrology services. In many countries, however, the national services only gradually took full charge of their hydrometric networks, with technical assistance continuing for a long time. During the seventies and eighties, most countries acquired scientific or technical infrastructures that played host to hydrologists from the North for joint research programs and studies, with gradually increasing involvement by African water research scientists.
After long years of work gathering, interpreting and applying data, the hydrological characteristics of this part of Africa have been established and the groundwork for a sound scientific partnership between Northern and Southern partners has been laid. Many of the region's water problems are linked to the difficulty of meeting constantly rising demand from fluctuating water resources; unrelenting effort is needed to resolve these problems.
In this regard, there are promising signs for the new millennium: the growing community of African hydrologists is increasingly active in major international programs; links have been forged among those involved in Africa's various regional programs; and there are now thriving scientific associations like the Association of African Hydrologists.

A few years before I give birth to Michael Raphael, Saint Raphael appeared in a very vivid dream.
He told me that I will have a child. I had many unsuccessful pregnancies. I made tama, a promise to the Saint, at the island of Mytilene. When I returned, I went through an IVF treatment which was successful.
For the rest of my years I will praise God and my doctor, Anastasios Sykourtis for the blessing of becoming a mother! You might think that I am writing personal information through my FB page but I would like to encourage the women that would like to become mothers. The emotional struggle we go through to become mothers is like a roller coaster and I drew my strength from my faith and my miracle!

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has certainly changed her tune.
Until very recently Merkel and her finance minister had been demanding that "private creditors" be required to "participate" in any restructuring of Greece's debt. That was code for banks and other bond holders being required to take haircuts, either by reducing the amounts they were due or extending the term of the loans.
Now she's warning about the exposure of European financial institutions to credit default swaps that insure Greek bonds.
"Nobody around the globe knows exactly who holds those papers and what it means if they come due," Merkel said in a meeting of the German parliament's European affairs committee. According to the Associated Press, Merkel also warned that it was also unclear "who will have to pay how much and who will need fresh capital in what way."
Part of the change of message was no doubt political. When Merkel says it is unclear who will have to pay up if there is a credit event triggering the swaps, she's saying to the German ministers (many of whom are reluctant to support a bailout): "Look, fellas, this could be us on the line. Our banks, our insurance companies. Stop thinking of this as a bailout of those lazy, spendthrift Greeks. If we let Greece go down, we have to worry about our banks."
Merkel's newfound interest in derivatives exposure really makes it sound as if she's recently had one of those "come to Jesus" moments.
Someone in German finance, very possible Deutsche Bank head Josef Ackermann, may have explained to Merkel that the Greek debt situation was much more complicated than just asking "who owns those Greek bonds." This person would have explained that the owners of the bonds, in many cases, would not take the first losses from a default. The sellers of protection on the bonds would.
Think Henry Paulson coming to George Bush explaining that allowing "the market" to sort out the mess following the collapse of Lehman Brothers would mean risking another Great Depression. Bush still says that he's a "market guy" who doesn't like the idea of bailing out failed companies. But when it come down to it, he trusted his advisers. As he saw it, they knew far more about this stuff than he did.
So did someone get to Merkel? Most likely. And at some point, we'll learn the details of who, what, when and where.

The Boss, Catbert, Dilbert, Alice and Wally sit at a conference table. The Boss says, "Mister Catbert will explain our new 'total compensation plan' for excellence." Catbert says, "We no longer view compensation in the narrow terms of salary alone." Dilbert, Alice and Wally think, "Danger! Danger!" Catbert continues, "If employee benefits go up, then salaries can go down and it all balances out." Catbert lies on the table and says, "For example, did you know you could lower your blood pressure by rubbing my soft, furry belly?" Alice says, "It might be a trick!" Wally thinks, "What's the worst thing that could happen?" Wally rubs Catbert's stomach and Catbert shouts, "Ha ha ha!!! It's a health benefit! Now I'll cut everybody's salary!" Dilbert, Alice and Wally look shocked and their hair and clothing is disheveled. Dilbert says, "I've noticed that the more health benefits I get, the worse I feel."

Dogbert sits on the couch backrest. Dilbert says, "I have an ethical question, Dogbert." Dogbert replies, "I'm here to help." Dilbert asks, "Is it better to give customers a low quality product in a timely fashion . . ." Dilbert continues, "Or is it better to lie about product availability until the bugs are fixed?" Dogbert snaps his paw and replies, "I will need my assistant, Ratbert, to address your ethical question." Ratbert stands next to Dogbert on the backrest. Dogbert says, "Let's say Ratbert is a trusting and innocent customer." Dogbert slaps Ratbert on the back and says, "Suppose somebody abuses his trust like this . . ." Ratbert falls between the couch cushions. Dilbert sits with his leg crossed under him and looks at Ratbert. Dilbert asks, "How does this relate to my situation?" Dogbert replies, "To be honest, I wasn't listening to you."

Dilbert's head disappears into a hole in time. Dilbert floats by the Boss's head and asks, "How can I relax AND do urgent work at the same time?" The Boss replies, "Work smarter, not harder." Dilbert grabs his head and screams. The caption says, "Mercifully, the angel of cynicism appears." Dogbert flies up to Dilbert and says, "Slap something together in the morning. He won't look at it anyway." The caption says, "The inspirational moral . . ." Dilbert puts his coat on and leaves the office. He sings, "Freedom's just another word for not caring about the quality of your work!"

The Boss looks in a desk drawer and continues, "Let's see . . . According to Webster's dictionary . . ." The Boss continues, "Aardvark is a burrowing African mammal that eats ants." The Boss continues, "What if we were more like that?" Dilbert sits at his desk listening to the message. The Boss continues, "I mean like the aardvark, not the ants . . ." Alice looks at her phone. The Boss stands by the printer thinking, "That's weird. Every time I leave my Quality Thought of the Day, the shared printer starts spewing resumes." Dilbert and Wally peek around the corner.

Every Existential Crisis Alice in Wonderland Ever Gave Me
Reading a book 200 times is a surefire way to find out whether you love it or want to throw its rhyming llama couplets into the diaper pail. Children's books especially do a tricky dance for an audience of squinty-eyed parents and wide-eyed tots: the best ones, like a syringe of infant-suspension Tylenol, have a little something for the parent at the end. These are the ones we are celebrating in This Book Belongs To — the books that send us back to the days of our own footed pajamas, and make us feel only half-exhausted when our tiny overlords ask to read them one more time.
When I was a kid, I loved to read. Since I had no job or social obligations and a bedtime of 8:30 p.m. (which was half an hour later than most of my friends), I was able to peruse a fair amount of books when I wasn't busy scarfing down Twinkies and playing a game of my own invention called "Throw the Stick Over the Fence." (I'll let you work out what the objective was.)
Most of the books I used to read were about courage, or love, or the meaning of friendship. And then there was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which is about the futile search for meaning in a chaotic, unknowable void.
Don't get me wrong — I'm glad I read it. Lewis Carroll's beloved nonsense narrative taught me a lot about imagination, being different, and thinking outside the box, all of which were extremely meaningful life lessons for someone who liked to wear a witch costume to school on days that weren't Halloween. Really, it's a great book. I guess I just didn't expect to find myself lying awake at night and wondering, "OK, BUT WHEN IS AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC CATERPILLAR GOING TO APPEAR AND ASK ME TO JUSTIFY MY EXISTENCE?"
Alice in Wonderland forced me to think critically. Sometimes too critically. Here is every existential crisis I was forced to undergo as a result.
Existential crisis #1: Who am I?
Once when I was 5 years old, I had a full-blown existential crisis at school and my mom had to come pick me up.
You see, our teacher used to send us out to recess in small groups so as to stagger the surge of hyper children running amok in the hallways. She would say things like, "If you have blond hair, you can go outside," and then "If you have brown hair, you can go outside," on and on until every student had been released.
Well, one day she did eye color, and somewhere in there I realized I didn't know what color my eyes were. I know how stupid that sounds, but when did you realize what color your eyes were? When did you realize eyes had the capacity to have color? I realized it right then and there, and I panicked. If I didn't know what color my eyes were, did I even know who I was? What else didn't I know about myself? It occurred to me that this was how Alice felt when the Caterpillar asked her who she is, and Alice replied, "I'm afraid I can't explain myself, sir. Because I am not myself, you see?"
I could have asked another kid about my eyes, I suppose, but the classroom was emptying quickly and suddenly it was just me and the teacher and THEN it was just me, the teacher, and the desk I was hiding under. She asked me what was wrong, and since "I AM BEING CRUSHED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF AN IDENTITY CRISIS; HOW CAN I BECOME MY AUTHENTIC SELF IF I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COLOR MY ARE" was a concept too cerebral for me to put into words at the tender age of 5, I cried until my mom came instead.
My eyes are green, by the way. I know that now.
Existential crisis #2: Time is relative.
I remember the exact moment time made sense to me. I was in the first grade, and Britney Spears had just released Baby One More Time, and one day in class it just clicked for me that the big hand was the minute hand and the little hand was the hour hand. (Today everything's digital, though, so analog clocks are about as useless as my ability to reel off the original 150 Pokemon, which I spent DAYS committing to memory, so I guess that's just information I have now.)
Most of the kids in my class had already figured it out, but I was a little late to the time-telling party because Alice had asked "How long is forever?" and the White Rabbit had replied "Sometimes, just one second."
I struggled with how this could be (how could a second last longer than a second?) until I asked my parents. My mom said it was because time is relative. My dad said, "You know when we run errands and I tell you that if you behave, we'll get McDonald's afterward, so those few hours at Home Depot seem to last a lot longer? It's like that."
Existential crisis #3: What constitutes a person? Is it the body, or the mind?
I could've made it YEARS without having this thought. I could've been at least 18 or 19 before I had occasion to wonder what constitutes personhood.
As it stands, I was about 7 or 8 when I raised my hand and asked my poor teacher what part of me was me. Like, If I got my head cut off, was "I" technically the head? Was my body no longer me? What was it?
These were questions I had because of this bit in Alice:
"'Now, I give you fair warning,' shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as she spoke; 'either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!'"
The other students in my class became curious, too. Instead of being the kid who told everyone the truth about Santa, I was the kid who told everyone the truth about the duality of self. Needless to say, we never got back to adding and subtracting.
Existential crisis #4: What does it all mean?
As a kid, I wasn't concerned with the meaning of life so much as I was concerned with the meaning of the riddle on the back of my Lucky Charms box because if I solved it, I would get a free color-changing A Bug's Life spoon. I had my hands full with Legos and Capri Suns; I didn't have time to be wondering about the universe and my place in it.
Until (are you sensing a pattern here?) I read Alice in Wonderland. In Wonderland, nothing makes sense and everyone's just fine with that. All logic goes out the window. Pigeons talk, clocks don't tell time, and riddles have no answers. Ravens are like writing desks for whatever reason, and we all just have to deal with it.
I think I thought this was just funny the first few times, but on my fourth reading I started to wonder what was the meaning of anything. Why did I have to go to school every day? What was the point of learning about the 50 states? Was doing math problems just a Sisyphean exercise in futility?
I brought this up with my mom, but she didn't seem to think existential ennui was a good enough reason not to go to school.
Existential crisis #5: Human memory is fallible.
You know the part where Alice can't remember the words to a poem? I used to think about that every time I had to stand in front of the class and give a presentation about Joan of Arc or the Dust Bowl. I still think about it every time I go to Subway and have to keep everything (the cheese, the meat, what bread I want) straight in my head. My palms get sweaty, my mouth goes dry, all the words would exit my brain, and suddenly I feel like Alice being called upon to recite a poem by a very rude caterpillar.
I thought about this a lot as a little kid, too. Back when people had to remember phone numbers, my mom would make me memorize emergency contact information just in case I ever got kidnapped by a man who was kind enough to give me one phone call. I mostly failed in this endeavor, probably because she wasn't asking me to memorize all the Pokemon or the lyrics to Britney Spears songs I was definitely too young to be listening to.
Existential crisis #6: Is what we perceive reality or just a construct of our minds?
At least once a day I wonder if my life is some sort of bonkers, off-the-wall fever dream, and it's because of Alice in Wonderland. Obviously when I was a kid, I didn't just silently contemplate this; I asked my babysitter, Jessica.
We were watching Disney Channel one day when I turned to her and randomly demanded to know if life was all a dream, which is exactly what every babysitter wants to hear when they're just trying to score a quick and painless 20 bucks after school.
She said, "There are seven billion people in the world. They all have their own lives, just like you. Do you really think you could've made them all up? Do you think you're imaginative enough to do that?"
I said, "Yes."
Which, you know, wow. What an absolute power move.
The lesson here, I guess, is that none of these things matter as long as you have THAT kind of confidence. You know, that "small child, big dreams" confidence. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland may have forced me to wrestle with moral quandaries philosophers have been debating since the dawn of time, but it also made me realize there's nothing wrong with asking questions, with looking at things differently, with not knowing where you're going in life just yet. It made me realize I was a creative, inquisitive, and unique… just like Alice.
