Another week of NBA action is done and we are nearly one month into the season. Only a few teams have been consistently winning, while the rest of the league are still trying to find their rhythm. It is still way too early to tell which teams will emerge as the best, but we will now rank the top ten teams in the NBA after three weeks.
The Warriors are allergic to losing. They have rattled off 11 straight wins to open up the season and they clearly have the best record in the NBA at 11-0. The Brooklyn Nets gave them a scare as that game went to overtime, but the Warriors outscored the Nets 10-2 in the extra period to secure the win. Stephen Curry is still doing Stephen Curry things and Draymond Green is putting his name in early as a All-Star with his improved all-around game. Really not much more to say that has already been said, the Warriors are the best team and who knows when they will lose?
Second place was close this week as it came down to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs. The Cavs and Spurs both have the same record of 8-2, but Cleveland is doing more with less talent so far in the season. LeBron James is leading this team to one of the franchise’s best start ever. The Cavs are eighth in scoring at 102.8 points per game and they are holding teams to 95.6 points, which ranks fourth in the NBA. One player that also deserves a lot of credit besides James and Kevin Love is Mo Williams. Williams has held down the point guard spot for Cleveland while Kyrie Irving recovers from his injury. Mo Williams is the third-leading scorer on this team by averaging 15.6 points per game and adding 5.1 assists per game. He deserves just as much credit as Love and James for the Cavaliers’ hot start.
The San Antonio Spurs are slowly climbing their way to the top of the power rankings week after week. The Spurs are 8-2 and have won their last five games. What is crazy about this season is Tim Duncan is the fourth leading scorer on the Spurs. He is only playing a little over 26 minutes per game, but the efficiency is still there. LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard are looking more and more comfortable with each game as the leaders on this team. San Antonio is the number one defense in the NBA after three weeks and they are allowing teams to score just 91.8 points per game on them. The Spurs offense is improving as the season plays out. They are scoring 102.3 points per game, which is 10th in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs are gunning for the number two spot and maybe reach the Warriors sometime this season. We will have to see, but right now the Spurs are playing amazing basketball.
The Atlanta Hawks are 8-4 and have shown signs that they can be just as good as any team in their first twelve games of the season. Their balanced offensive attack has opposing team off balance. Atlanta has six players averaging over ten points per game, which ties the Charlotte Hornets for the most by a team this season. While their defense may show they are in the middle of the league, the Hawks force the most turnovers at 17.7 per game. They know how to get in the passing lanes and disturb the offensive rhythm of the opposing team. They can also get easy baskets on offense by forcing these turnovers. The Hawks are ninth in the NBA in scoring and they can credit their defense for some of that. The Hawks need to be a little more consistent going forward, but they deserve a top five spot on our list this week.
The Miami Heat have found their way back to this week’s power rankings after missing last week’s. The Miami Heat are looking impressive and while the back court of Wade and Dragic may not be working out the way everyone planned, Chris Bosh and Hassan Whiteside are becoming one of the best power forward/center combinations in the NBA. The Heat are winning games based on their number two defense and they are allowing a NBA best 90.2 points per game to their opponents. The Heat also have the Eastern Conference’s number two point differential. Erik Spoelstra deserves a lot of credit because he is doing one of his best coaching jobs so far this season. Wade is averaging under 30 minutes per game and Bosh is the Heat’s leader in minutes per game at 32.4. Spoelstra is doing a great job at managing his players’ minutes and making sure everyone stays healthy. There is no question that if the Miami Heat stay healthy, they can compete with anyone in the NBA.
Has the Eastern Conference improved or what? The Chicago Bulls are part of the reason the East is gaining more respect and becoming a stronger conference. The Bulls are 7-3 and they are winning even though Derrick Rose is struggling with his shooting. The Bulls are not a top ten offense or defense, but they find ways to make the game tougher for opponents and earn their wins. Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol are leading the way on the offensive side for the Chicago Bulls, but let’s not forget about Doug McDermott. He is final getting playing time and it is showing. McDermott is averaging 10.8 points per game on 53% shooting from the field and 57% from three in 20 minutes per game. The Bulls have a big week 4 ahead of them, as they face the Suns and the Warriors. We will see just how good the Bulls really are coming up.
The Los Angeles Clippers are struggling a little bit this past week. The Clippers are 1-4 in their last five games, but injuries to two starters will cause that to happen. Chris Paul and J.J. Redick are not at 100% and the Clippers are dealing with the effects of it. Luckily, they have one of the best players in the NBA in Blake Griffin. Griffin is second in the NBA in Player Efficiency Rating behind Stephen Curry. Los Angeles Clippers still have a talented roster of players and one of the league’s best offenses. They need to fix up their issues on the defensive side of the ball, but the 6-4 Clippers just need to get healthy and they will remain a top ten team in this league.
The Toronto Raptors are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference and have a respectable 7-4 record. They have dealt with DeMarre Carroll’s injury and they are now looking to return to the team they were when they started 5-0. They still are a top ten defense and only give up 97.1 points per game to their opponent, which ranks 7th in the NBA. The back court of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan definitely have no let anyone down this season. They averaged over 40 points and 10 assists per game combined. The play of Jonas Valanciunas should not go unnoticed. He is averaging over 14 points and 9 per game in only 27.4 minutes of action. The Raptors can really prove they are a top ten team this week by performing well against the Warriors. The Raptors expect to get back on track and this week coming up will test them.
The Boston Celtics are stringing together one of the best stretches of the early NBA season. A lot of credit has to go to their head coach, Brad Stevens. The job he is doing in Boston is making him rise to the top tier of NBA coaches. Stevens is taking a roster full of rotational players and having them play together as a cohesive unit. The Celtics have won five of their last six games and hold a record of 6-4. This stretch of games include wins against the Bucks, Thunder, Hawks, Wizards, and Rockets. The are 5th in the NBA in assists per game and 5th in opponents points per game. They only allow 96 points per game and score 102.6 points on offense. The Boston Celtics are on the rise and that should go without question.
The Phoenix Suns make their NBA power rankings debut and crack the top ten with a record of 6-4. With the fall of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Suns have emerged led by their amazing play of their back court. Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight are making a case for being the best point guard/shooting guard combo in the NBA. Bledsoe is averaging 23.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. Knight is averaging 19.1 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. The scoring of T.J. Warren off of the bench is key to the success of the Suns. Warren is scoring 10.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 21.2 minutes. Jeff Hornacek has this team playing well and scoring with the best of them. The Suns are 4th in the NBA in points per game with 104.2 per contest. They also rank 5th in defensive rating. Phoenix allows 98.5 points per 100 possessions. The Phoenix Suns are playing well in their first ten games and deserve to be recognized in this week’s power rankings.

How do you know how many licenses you really need? There is a formula that will tell you that. You need to know how many total users you have (let’s call that number “U”), how many shared devices you have (let’s call that “D”), and how many of your users will use only shared devices (let’s call that “S”). The formula is U – S + D. So, if you have 1,000 total users, 300 shared devices, and 600 of your users will use only shared devices, you need 1,000 – 600 + 300 = 700 total licenses.

Once again, political “crisis” looms over Kuwait, with some commentators suggesting that parliament soon will be dissolved, and new elections held. Yet, in light of the past five years in Kuwaiti politics, this can hardly be termed a “crisis”. Rather, it is politics as usual.
The background for the current crisis is the alleged transfer of approximately KD 25 million ($ 91 million) from government funds to two pro-government MPs. Obviously, this is a serious issue, and in many people’s eyes a confirmation of the corruption they see in every aspect of the Kuwaiti state. Not surprisingly, the scandal has provoked many initiatives from oppositional MPs and activists.
For one thing, opposition MPs have called for an emergency session on the issue, in order to debate this particular incident and to pass new laws to prevent corruption and money laundering. According to Kuwaiti law, an emergency session must be held if at least 33 MPs sign the proposal. So far, 29 MPs have signed, with about 20 pro-government MPs rejecting the initiative, at least for now. One might question whether or not this is a wise approach on part of the government; with such serious accusations, it should be in everyone’s interest to investigate them properly. Moreover, given the recent crisis combined with a fresh report from the IMF criticizing Kuwait for not doing enough to hinder money laundering and terror-financing, new laws on these issues might be a very good idea. It should of course be noted here that the government may agree with the need for a debate on the issue as well as to review country’s legal framework, even though it does not agree on the need for an emergency session.
The scandal has provoked other initiatives as well; a website launched by activists in the country encourage MPs to sign a pledge to provide the authorities with access to their bank accounts, in order to clear themselves from any suspicion of being involved in the scandal. Many MPs have signed similar pledges on their own initiative as well. Moreover, a large demonstration against corruption is planned for the 16th of September. And, of course, the scandal has provoked new istijwabat, that is, interpellations against cabinet ministers, in this case the PM himself.
As I have written earlier, Kuwaiti MPs have a constitutional right to question cabinet ministers on a particular issue, and the questioning may be followed by a vote of confidence. Previously, these interpellations have been a constant source of “crisis” in Kuwait, in that they have provoked the resignation of ministers, the entire cabinet and even the dissolution of parliament when the minister in question stands to lose the vote of confidence. It has been, for quite a few years, the weapon of choice for the opposition. This time, the interpellation on the 25 millions comes in addition to two other interpellations already presented against the PM, and they will almost certainly be followed by a vote of no confidence.
Thus, “crisis” is looming again, and as mentioned, many commentators have predicted the dissolution of the parliament and early elections. But this in itself is nothing out of the ordinary. Since the parliament was reinstated after the war in 1992, only to parliaments have completed their 4-year terms. Since 2003, there have been held four elections in Kuwait. Accordingly, there would be nothing extraordinary about early elections, and it can hardly be said to constitute a “crisis”, as a “crisis” implies that something extraordinary has taken place.
However, this is not to say that Kuwaiti politics is not in a state of crisis. The constant bickering between parliament and government seems to prevent any real development from taking place. The government seems unable to govern an unruly parliament, while the parliament is prevented by law from governing (the Kuwaiti government is not based on a parliamentary majority, it is named directly by the Emir. The parliament for their part has largely negative powers). The result is that nothing much happens; the grand development scheme adopted by the parliament earlier has not yet materialized, in fact, the PM just ordered a report on why it has not yet materialized. And, as the statistics mentioned above clearly shows; neither party is willing to give in, and the result is deadlock and “crisis”. Moreover; the level of corruption revealed in this latest scandal is hardly an asset in Kuwait’s stated bid to become a “financial hub” in the region. In all, crisis may be a fitting description of the state of Kuwaiti politics, but the constant “crisis” between parliament and government is merely a symptom of more fundamental problems.
Kuwait: reforms still going strong?
Following three years of political turmoil, the parliament installed by the 2009 elections has proven to be a more stable one, with less focus on ”crisis” and more on passing laws. So far, a new labor law, a five-year development plan, and even a draft of a privatization bill have all passed through parliament. Confidence in the cooperation between parliament and government seems to be high, and HH the Emir has expressed his hope that the current parliament completes its four year term. If so, it would be the first time in years. Yet, as the MPs reconvene following the Eid al-Adha holiday, clouds may be looming on the horizon.
For one thing, there is the ever present threat of “grillings”, that is, interpellations directed at cabinet ministers by MPs. As I’ve written earlier, such motions may be followed by a vote of no confidence directed at the minister in question, and have notoriously lead to political crisis earlier. However, following the 2009 elections, this seems to have changed. Instead of resigning (or HH the Emir dissolving parliament), the cabinet has chosen to face both interpellations and any following votes on confidence, though making sure they had the backing of a majority of the MPs (though some MPs reportedly have claimed that the government “buys” the support of other MPs). By doing so, crisis have been averted, and the parliament and the government have been able to carry on.
These days, a number of interpellations are reportedly being prepared by various MPs, prompting the Kuwait Times to announce the “grilling season”. The question is then, naturally, whether or not the cabinet and the parliament will manage to avoid crisis this time around? An intriguing article in Kuwait Times suggests so; negotiations are going on behind the scene, so that the interpellations can be held without the government running to big a risk.
Another potential cloud on the horizon lies in the implementation of the reforms themselves. It has not yet been determined how the development plan, which is intended to turn Kuwait into a financial hub of the region and drastically increase the country’s non-oil income, is to be financed. The discussions concentrate on a development fund, as well as the establishment of several companies, whose shares are to be made available to ordinary Kuwaitis. Yet, no complete plan for funding has so far been presented to parliament by the government. The process has already been going on for months, and inevitably raises the question of whether the government and the parliament will be able to see the project through. Kuwait’s past record might suggest that the answer is no.
Then again, things do seem to be different with this parliament. Perhaps as a result of the constant “crisis” between 2006 and 2009, this parliament and this government seems determined to be more constructive and produce results. There seems to be a majority of the MPs (though with some changes from issue to issue) inclined to support government initiatives and to prevent crisis as a result of interpellations. Yet, if this new found pragmatism if to be successful, the projects of the government and the parliament must be realized.
The last couple of weeks have been extremely eventful in Kuwaiti politics. Four ministers have faced interpellation in parliament, and two of them votes of no-confidence as well. For now, crisis seems to be averted, with both votes failing to gain a majority. But is this positive, negative, or perhaps a little bit of both?
As I have written earlier, four ministers faced questioning in parliament (interpellations) last week, two of them being PM Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammed and interior minister Sheikh Jaber al-Khaled, who also faced votes of no-confidence. Or, to be precise, the PM faced a vote of “no-cooperation”, but had it gained a majority, the lack of confidence would still be rather obvious. Each of these votes could easily have created political crisis in Kuwait had they passed, with the dissolution of parliament being a likely outcome. In stead, the PM was backed by 35 MPs, with 13 MPs against him and one abstaining. As for the interior minister, the numbers were 26 in favor of the minister, 18 against him and 5 abstaining.
So, crisis seems to be averted for now. But does this give reason for celebration? There is one obvious problem: the PM was accused of mismanaging public funds. If the accusations were true, the consequences for the PM should of course have been more severe. But to determine what’s true and not is rather difficult, accusations have been thrown both ways in the media, and the session itself was held behind closed doors. In addition, there are always many possible factors at play in Kuwaiti politics; tribal interests, internal royal family rivalry, personal interests (and prospects for re-election) of MPs and so on.
Still, what is quite clear is that yet another political taboo has been broken in Kuwait, the interpellation and no-confidence vote on the PM. Last June interior minister Sheikh Jaber al-Khaled faced interpellation and a vote of no-confidence in parliament, being the first member of the royal family to do so. Now the PM himself has followed, which could be seen as a de facto extension of the powers of the parliament. Even though MPs have the constitutional right to interpellate ministers, exercising this right has been sensitive when it comes to ministers from the royal family. Now the parliament has proved its ability to supervise and hold accountable for any wrong-doings all members of the cabinet, including those from the royal family. One should of course bear in mind that the government probably knew very well that they would win both votes of no-confidence, and that things could have been very different if they weren’t so sure. But still, they went through with it, even in the midst of hosting a GCC summit.
Naturally, many in Kuwait have praised this “historical achievement all world should idolize”, as cabinet member Mohammed al-Busayri put it. However, others have been less enthusiastic. MP Ali al-Rashid, a liberal former member of the National Democratic Alliance, last week suggested amending the constitution, to make interpellations more difficult. Although he claimed that he was “only floating ideas for debate”, his proposal sparked harsh reactions from oppositional forces. For their part, the government has distanced themselves from the proposal, claiming to have “no relations whatsoever” with it.
Whether or not this is true is difficult to say. It might be a test balloon from the government, or it might be an MP tired of Kuwait’s near permanent state of political crisis. Which leads us to a major problem; though the parliament successfully exercises its powers, these powers are, to quote Michael Herb, “largely negative”. The parliament can question ministers and block legislation, but have showed little ability to pass new legislation, and to deal with pressing issues. This is of course also the responsibility of the government, but the result is nevertheless political stalemate. Which in turn seems to frustrate Kuwaiti citizens, as well as MPs and ministers.
If Kuwait is indeed on a slippery slope towards democracy, this problem lies at its core. If the only result of the parliament’s battle for its democratic powers is stalemate and inaction, it will be hard to succeed, and it will be difficult to win popular support. Democracy is a big issue in Kuwait, but so are the financial crisis, a worn-down infrastructure, and unemployment.
The interpellation of the PM, and the following vote of no-cooperation might be viewed, at least for now, as yet another step on Kuwait’s journey towards a more democratic political system. But unless the Kuwaiti parliament finds some way of combining its expanding supervisory powers with constructive developmental work, things may become difficult up ahead.
Seemingly, political tensions are rising in Kuwait, with four MPs being stripped of their immunity, four interpellations on the agenda for the December 8th session, and the interior minister Sheikh Jaber asking MP Khaled al-Tahous to “shut up” during a parliamentary session. But the reasons behind this apparent crisis are not as clear as Sheikh Jaber’s words.
To begin with the interpellations (Arabic استجواب , often referred to in English in Kuwait as “grilling”), these are the constitutional right of every MP to question a cabinet minister, and may – if 10 MPs demand so – be followed by a vote of no confidence. As I have written before, interpellations have often led to political crisis in Kuwait, especially when directed at ministers from the royal family. In such cases, the cabinet often prefers to resign rather than to face questioning in the parliament. However, this summer, interior minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled Al-Sabah not only faced questioning in parliament, but a vote of no confidence as well (which did not gain a majority). So, even though such interpellations obviously are problematic for both the government and the royal family, they do not automatically lead to crisis.
However, no less than four such interpellations are on the agenda for the parliament’s session on the 8th of December. And not only are three of them directed against members of the royal family, one is even directed at Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah. Even though four is something new, Kuwait has witnessed three interpellations submitted at the same time twice before; earlier this year, and in 1986. Earlier this year it led to the Emir dissolving parliament and calling for new elections. In 1986, it was followed by a six year suspension of parliament. This is not to say that the three interpellations were the reason behind the long suspension of parliament in 86, but it does indicate that three interpellations may be a bit too much for the government and the royal family.
Yet, according to Kuwait Times, the PM himself said on 30th of November that “I’m ready to confront the interpellation – we are a state of institutions that is governed by the constitution”. But at the same time, pro-government MPs demand that the session with the interpellation of the PM is held behind closed doors. Faisal al-Muslim, the MP who submitted the interpellation against the PM, has answered that he will “re-submit” his “grilling-request” if the session will be closed.
At the same time, other events bear witness of rising tensions as well. During a heated parliamentary session in mid-November, parliamentary immunity was lifted for MPs Mohammad Hayef, Saadoun Hammad, Marzouk Al-Ghanem and Khaled Al-Sultan. In addition, some claim that freedom of expression is under attack in Kuwait. Journalist Mohammad Abdulqader Al-Jassem is currently in jail for ”slandering the prime minister”, and accusations of government surveillance of blogs have surfaced in the media. However, this has caused Kuwait’s vibrant blogging community to react, and one should not underestimate their determination in having their say. To quote one blogger: “Kuwait has not yet become a police state”.
So while Kuwait is facing some difficult days ahead, it might not be as dramatic as newspaper headlines should indicate. Still, it is difficult to see just how the government will maneuver through all of this; they do not seem very keen on facing the interpellations, at least not in public. But to dissolve parliament and call for new elections doesn’t seem tempting either, as this would be the fourth election in three years. And for the government to resign and then be re-appointed, as they have done in similar situations before, seems unlikely. If it did, it would be the eight time in three years. Then there’s the option of dissolving parliament and not calling for new elections, but rather to suspend parliament. This has been mentioned in some newspaper articles, and was also mention last winter during a quite similar crisis.
During the crisis last winter, some newspapers reported that parts of the royal family wanted to suspend the parliament, whereas others were opposed to this. This time, divisions within the royal family has once again surfaced in the media, but now as the cause for the crisis. MP Marzouq al-Ghanim (who just lost his parliamentary immunity) pointed to “ruling family intrigues” as one of the reasons behind Kuwait’s political chaos, whereas liberal MP Abdullah Al-Rumi is quoted in Kuwait Times saying that “disputes within the ruling family could be destructive to Kuwait”, and that “You must put an end to these disputes that are impacting parliament and the whole country”. Former minister of information Dr. Anas al-Rashid (who resigned in 2006, protesting among other things the government’s position on the issue of the electoral districts) also points to the media: “It is unfortunate that a section of the media has been used as a means to settle political scores”.
Whatever the reasons, Kuwait is in a difficult political situation at the moment. As with most political crises, it is probably fair to assume that there are many reasons behind the current situation, of which conflict within the royal family might be one. And if there are sections of the royal family who want to suspend parliament, the current chaotic situation seems to fit their needs. As for how this situation will be resolved, I think political analyst Shafiq Ghabra put it nicely in Kuwait Times: “It has now got to a point in Kuwait when you can’t expect anything and when you can’t expect anything, then expect the unexpected”.
The reopening of the Kuwaiti parliament after its summer break is drawing nearer, with two rather obvious questions perhaps being how long this parliament will last, and how many interpellations it will witness? Some MPs have already announced their intentions to “grill” ministers, seemingly gearing up for some stormy political months.
To start off with the interpellations, it might be some stormy months indeed. MPs have vowed to interpellate the Minister of Public Works and State Minister for Municipal Affairs over both accusations of corruption and the Mishref sewage plant scandal, as well as the Health Minister for failing to deal with the swine flu, Furthermore, MPs Ahmad al-Saadoun and Musallam al-Barrak plan to interpellate the Prime Minister sheikh Nassir Muhammed al-Ahmad over – among other thing – the Dow Chemicals deal. Moreover, information minister sheikh Ahmad Abdallah al-Sabah has been harshly criticized by MPs for banning privately-owned Scope TV’s political satire program Sawtak Wasal. Lastly, there is the difficult issue of the tragic al-Jahra fire.
The tragic fire took place in mid-August at a wedding celebration in al-Jahra district. The women`s tent caught fire, killing more than 40 women and children, and injuring more than 60. The former wife of the groom allegedly admitted using petrol to set the tent on fire, creating the deadliest civilian disaster in modern Kuwaiti history. MPs have accused the Government of not being prepared for such scenarios, claiming fire-fighters and ambulances arrived too late. An emergency session of the Parliament to look into the incident has been proposed, but MP’s have agreed to postpone thisuntil the investigation of the fire is finished.
As I have written earlier, interpellations – especially against al-Sabah members of the cabinet – have often led to the Emir dissolving parliament in the past. Still, the last thing parliament did before they went (to London and Beirut) for their summer holidays this year was not only to witness the interpellation of interior minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled Al-Sabah, but to vote on a no confidence motion against him as well. And the parliament was not dissolved. So while the numerous interpellations certainly don’t strengthen the cooperation between cabinet and parliament, they do not necessarily lead to crisis. Furthermore, the last parliamentary election in Kuwait was held only a few months ago, perhaps another reason for the cabinet, the Emir and the parliament to deal with any forthcoming interpellations without forcing upon their people yet another election.
“..and everyone is a politician”. The words are not mine, but I`ve heard them several times during my stay here in Kuwait. From the local co-ops to the unlucky football referees, it`s all politics.
To start off with football: the royal family is very involved in Kuwait`s football association, as well as in other sports associations, sometimes with conflicting agendas. Many view this as a problem, as for instance this blog, and Kuwait Times reports that the parliament has formed a committee to investigate the issue. Furthermore, the football clubs are – naturally – run by boards, to which there are elections. Joining these boards is seen as a good start to a political career, making the competition though. As I was told: “it`s basically a competition of who is willing to spend the most money to get elected”. Thus, the clubs are politicized, and, to a certain extent, their supporters as well. This – in turn – leaves the referee in a rather difficult position, and I`ve been told it`s not unusual for referees to get beaten up after games. And as I witnessed Kuwait`s Cup Final on Monday (22.06.2009), I did indeed see a somewhat frightened looking ref, who blew his whistle every single time someone fell, perhaps not wanting to upset the wrong people.
The local co-ops are another example. Residential areas in Kuwait are organized around local centers, which all contain a co-op. Who gets to run these co-ops, “is political”. As this illustrates, “politics” is sometimes synonymous with personal interests, as – I suppose – you can say about politics in pretty much every country in the world. Still, these interests, many times conflicting but sometimes coinciding are a dominant feature in Kuwaiti politics, that needs to be taken into account in order to understand how this country is run.
I pretty good example is the ongoing controversy around interior minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled Al-Sabah. As I`vewritten earlier, MP Musallam Al-Barak “grilled” (interpellated) the minister this Tuesday (23.06.2009), around three issues: a contract for setting up boards during last year`s election, surveillance cameras in front of the parliament, and his alleged lack of effort to stop vote-buying. Seemingly straightforward, many interests are involved.
For one thing, MP al-Barak is said to have promised his electorate to go forth with the interpellation, and indeed he did. The “grilling” took place in a special session of the parliament this Tuesday. After the debate, ten lawmakers put forth a motion of no confidence against the minister. The vote on the motion will be held next Wednesday (1st of July), and if 25 or more MPs support it, the minister will have to go.
9 of the 10 MPs who signed the motion were tribal, which – when talking about interests – may be important. As interior minister, Sheikh Jaber struck down on tribal primaries – officially forbidden – before the 2008 election, much to the annoyance of tribal candidates. Facing the no confidence vote, he claims the tribal MPs are out for revenge.
As mentioned, the vote will be held next Wednesday. Until then, the cabinet on the one side and al-Barak and his supporter on the other, will battle for the votes of still undecided MPs. A minister actually ousted through a vote in parliament is unheard of in Kuwait, so the vote will only take place if the cabinet is confident in having a majority. If not, the minister will resign, or be assigned to another ministry through a cabinet reshuffle. Therefore, the battle of the undecided is of every importance. As of Wedensday (24.06), al-Qabas newspaper reported that 18 MPs support al-Barak, 21 the government and 10 are undecided. Rumors hold that these ten MPs have close ties to minister Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahd (who also has a leading position in many of the country`s sports associations, and who was ousted from government in 2006), and that he is using their importance in this issue to gain influence in the cabinet. Though such claims are difficult to verify, I haven`t met anyone who objects that Kuwaiti politics is a mixture of many, many agendas.
And of course, in a country where everyone is a politician, very many follows these events closely. On Tuesday, people started queuing in front of the parliament at 7:00 am to follow the session. Several bloggers reported live from the parliament`s gallery, and newspaper al-Jaridah provides all details from the session as well.
So whatever one might think of Kuwaiti politics and Kuwait`s political system, one cannot ignore that it engages the Kuwaiti public. Still, whether or not this translates in active participation obviously varies; only 20,56% of the electorate cast their vote in Thursday`s (25.06) local elections.
Less than a month has passed since the parliamentary elections, and barely a week since the inaugural session of the new Assembly. But still: a “grilling” request has been filed against a Sabah-member of the cabinet, this time by MPMuslim al-Barak of the Popular Action Bloc (كتلة العمل الشعبي ).
As I have written earlier, ”grilling” (interpellate, or in arabic:استجواب )is a constitutional right of Kuwaiti MPs to question cabinet ministers in parliament, and may in turn lead to a vote of no confidence. With the government wanting to avoid the humiliation of such a process, interpellations – especially when directed at cabinet members from the ruling a-Sabah family – have notoriously led to the cabinet resigning, or the Emir dissolving parliament. This, in turn, has left Kuwait in a status of permanent political crisis.
The results of the latest parliamentary election, held on May 16th, have been said to be a reaction to this crisis, with the electorate demanding stability and development rather than endless political quarrels. Still, the same electorate re-elected three of the five Islamist MPs who filed requests to interpellate ministers in the last parliament – thereby earning the nickname “crisis MPs” – as well as al-Barak, who made it perfectly clear during the election campaign that he would request to interpellate Interior Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled Al-Sabah, were the Minister to be re-appointed.
True to his word, al-Barak filed the request on June 8th, accusing the Minister of “squandering public funds, failure to prevent vote-buying and ordering the installation of cameras to spy on public rallies” (Kuwait Times, June 9th 2009). The big question, then, is of course: what will the government and the Emir do?
Following the election, the Emir called for cooperation between the cabinet and the parliament, and for an end to the ongoing crisis. Still, a new cabinet was appointed that contained names bound to cause the opposite. As mentioned above, grillings against Sabah-members of the cabinet has marked a red line for previous parliaments. However, it would seem rather absurd if the government were to resign, or the parliament to be dissolved, approximately three weeks after the election. From this point of view, we might be witnessing a rather momentous challenge to Kuwait`s democratic project.
On the other hand, the “grilling” request may never go so far. The government may demand to refer the request to the constitutional court to verify whether or not it is in line with the constitution. The government may also demand that the debate in parliament on the request will be held behind closed doors.
For the moment, the request is scheduled to be debated in the parliamentary session on June 23rd. If the debate takes place, the outcome may be rather grim.

Killing fools from the back of a horse presents a few advantages and disadvantages. Mostly advantages, or who'd put up with the cost of maintaining a mount?
CP penalty from leg armor cancelled.
CP penalty from other armor halved.
+2CP per round height bonus (against ground-based opponents only). This bonus varies with the quality of the horse ridden (check the horse breeds section, below).
AG/Ride checks may be made instead of spending CP on terrain rolls.
CP while he is fighting mounted.
All attacks come from the characters CP, not the mount's CP. (The mounts CP is only used if it is fighting by itself, without a rider).
When facing ground based opponents from horseback, the trick is to use the horses speed as a form of defense. Its possible to make attacks from horseback while the horse is at a canter or even a full charge. This requires a terrain roll (as noted above, this roll is made with AG/Ride rather than by spending CP). A successful roll limits a combat round to a single exchange, usually one where the rider attacks and the opponent merely defends (of course, the opponent may declare a simultaneous attack). If the roll is failed, the round lasts two exchanges as usual (potentially allowing an opponent who has successfully blocked or parried an attack to retaliate) before the horses momentum carries the rider past. A botch on this roll means the rider has lost his concentration and toppled from the horse.
When two horsemen battle, rounds last two exchanges unless one or both are moving at speed (and not in the same direction), in which case those moving must make AG/Ride rolls as outlined above, and the round lasts only one exchange (red/red probably). This is essentially what happens in jousting (see the Mounted Combat: Jousting section below).
A mounted figure may not attack a foe directly in front of his mount, unless he is using a weapon with a very long (8 or greater) reach. Attacks must be made at opponents to the side or rear of the mount. Swiveling around to attack an opponent to the rear is tricky, and carries an additional +4CP activation cost per attack.
When attacking a ground-based opponent from a mount, lower bodily targets are inaccessible. As a general rule, swinging zones 3,4,5 and 7 are available, as is any thrust target above the belly. Consideration as to available attack zones must be made by the Seneschal if the target is not a humanoid.
Defending from horseback is very difficult, and nearly impossible if the target of the attack is the horse itself. A mounted character may use a partial evasion to have the horse dance back from an attack, but may generally not duck & weave or use any form of block, parry or counter versus attacks to his mount. Full evasion is only useful when leaping from a mount to avoid an attack against the rider. Essentially, the best horseback defense is a strong offense or good barding.
Attacking a mounted opponent from the ground is tricky. If attacking from the front or rear of the mount, the rider may not be attacked unless a weapon with a very long (8 or more) reach is used. From the side, either mount or rider is a fair target. The Seneschal must decide which parts of the target are accessible based on the range and the reach of the weapon (its just not possible to thrust a dagger at the head of a mounted opponent). Swing attacks must be adjudicated on a case by case basis, remembering that many swing attacks (particularly zone 4 or 5 type swings) will probably still hit the mount even if they miss the rider.
The Charge  First, the combatants must make an opposed ride skill check (each rolling Agility versus his own Ride Skill) to make a good, fast and straight charge. This check is made at +2 dice if the knight is riding a Destrier, or -2 dice if his mount is a Palfrey (see the section on Horse Breeds, below). The two results are compared, and the combatant with the larger number of successes receives the difference as a CP bonus for stage two, the Clash.
The Clash  When the two jousting knights meet, each splits his full CP (less penalties for armor and barding, as usual) into attack and defense portions (very like a Simultaneous Block/Strike maneuver). Each combatant then makes a contested roll of his attack versus the others block, attempting to get a successful strike which might unseat his opponent, while remaining seated himself.
The Check  If either Knight has been struck, he must make an AG/Ride check with a penalty of 1 die for every point in his opponents attack margin of success. Failure indicates that he has been knocked from his horse. Tourney lances are designed to splinter on impact, therefore no actual puncturing damage is taken, however damage must be calculated for a 10 fall and applied as per the falling rules in chapter 5. Note that it is not unlikely that both Knights may be knocked from their steeds. This usually requires another pass, until there is a clear winner who has unhorsed his opponent but remained seated himself. Depending on the local rules, a double knockdown may instead be settled through melee combat, usually using blunted weapons.
Although its hard to verify historically, the image of a horse rearing up in combat to strike an opponent is a popular one. This maneuver may only be attempted versus a ground-based opponent directly in front of the mount. It uses the attackers CP, not the horses CP, and counts as an attack. On command, the horse rears up and attempts to strike the opponent with its front hooves. This attack may be evaded or blocked, but cannot be countered or parried. The ATN is the attackers ride skill. If the attacker wins, the Seneschal should determine the actual location of the strike randomly (any target from the chest upwards is possible, including the arms) and damage is double the attack success margin plus the horses strength, less toughness and armor. This is applied as bashing damage.
If the defender wishes, another option to counter a rearing attack is to declare an attack and attempt to steal initiative. If successful, the stomach is a valid target, and if attacked there the horse receives only half its toughness score for defense because of the extreme vulnerability of its stomach. If the horse is injured in this way, the mounted combatant must make an AG/Ride check with a penalty of 1 per level of damage taken, or fall from his horse (incurring damage as from a 10 fall).
Rearing attacks are considered to have Long range. They may not be made during a ride-by attack  (i.e. when the horse rider is attempting to limit the combat round to a single exchange by keeping his horse at speed). This limitation applies to the Kicking and Pivoting maneuvers described below as well.
Kicking on horseback is very similar to rearing, but the attack is made at an opponent to the rear of the horse. The rider declares the kick attack; the defender may evade or block, but cannot parry or counter. Bashing damage is the Horses Strength + 3 + margin of success. The actual hit location should be determined randomly by the Seneschal, any target above the waist (including the arms) is valid.
Kicking attacks are considered to have Medium range.
Pivoting consists of the rider causing his mount to swivel on its front legs, swinging its rump around and striking an opponent standing at the side of the horse. This maneuver is paid out of the rider's CP rather than the mounts, and counts as an attack.
The attack is declared, and the defender must evade, he may not block, parry or otherwise redirect the attack. The ATN is the attackers Ride skill. If the defender is successful, he steals initiative as normal. If the attacker is successful, the DR is the Horse's strength + 3 + success margin, and is distributed to the defender as falling damage. Additionally, the defender must make a knockdown roll with a penalty equal to the attack success margin or be thrown to the ground.
Pivot attacks may be made at any range from Short to Very long, and only suffer a range penalty of +1 attack activation cost if the current range is Hand or Extra Long.

Beat Box Dance Academy is a performing arts based program intended to provide schools and/or other youth-oriented institutions with a standards based, hip-hop dance curriculum. On a state and national level, performing arts programs and physical education courses are being reduced in schools to focus on meeting state education standards. With the reduction of physical activity programs in school, children are not meeting the recommended amounts of daily physical activity and obesity levels continue to rise at an alarming rate. There is also momentous importance placed on American youth to display 21st century skills, knowledge, work habits, and character traits believed to be necessary to succeed in the 21st century for college professors, employers, and educators.
Beat Box Dance Academy sets itself apart from other dance organizations in its educational and kinesthetic approach to instruction. Many hip-hop dance programs, for example, use curriculum that lack foundational dance technique and concepts necessary to attain proficiency in the various styles of hip-hop dance. Unlike other concert forms of dance such as ballet and jazz, hip-hop dance does not have a set of codified movements/terms specific to its genre. The services provided during the program also supplement many in-school, educational objectives and can be transferred over to other disciplines. BBDA endeavors to provide youth institutions and organizations with a lexicon specific to hip-hop dance. BBDA only employs instructors with professional dance/teaching experience and have completed the required training necessary to instruct BBDA curriculum. The contracted model of the company makes it desirable for organizations that do not have time to develop, and hire and manage personnel, and provide additional physical activity opportunities.

Butterflies are highly sensitive to weather and climate, this makes them excellent indicators of climate change. It is this sensitivity which we need to be aware of when designing a Butterfly Sanctuary. We are bringing together the habitats of both Humans (buildings, pathways etc) and butterflies in to close proximity. As such it is essential that there is an understanding in to the effects of this, both positive and negative.
As with Masa’s guidelines the visitor should be guided on a journey of discovery and enlightenment. This journey is much more than just seeing butterflies but is a real engagement with the full life of the animal. The architecture plays an important role in facilitating this enlightenment. Each building, space, path or zone can be used to describe specific characteristics or traits of the butterfly.
There are two types of Butterfly Parks. One is the closed system which introduces butterflies in to an artificially engineered environment which encloses and restricts the natural movement of butterflies or their predators. These are predominantly large netted areas. The range of species which are found in these enclosures are limited to the amount of species physically introduced. This type is suited to areas where butterflies are not readily available in abundance, due to some environmental factors i.e. being in an urban setting. In this way the Enclosure acts as protection against the harsher external environment. This type of park can be seen at the Zoo at Surat which houses 15-20 species of butterfly.
The system more suited to the lush hillsides of Sikkim is an open system where butterflies are naturally attracted to the area through planting of nectar and host plants. The area proposed for the Butterfly enclosure already is a good natural habitat for the butterflies. The sanctuary is then just an invigorator for the various species. In this way a larger population and variety can be naturally introduced to the area. For this system to be affective enclosed areas are required for the nurturing of; nectar plants, host plants, embryo, pupa and larva. The enclosures are an aid to protect their contents against predators. This type of butterfly management has been very effective at the Ovalekar Wadi butterfly park in Mumbai, with over visiting 105 species.
As a butterfly perches on tendril legs on a flower so our architecture should reduce the interference with the natural environment already existing on site. This may take many forms.
As with any construction there will inevitably be a lot of environmental disturbance, putting undue pressure on local wildlife habitat. This is no different for the butterfly. Using an open system, it becomes essential to minimize the disturbance on the habitat of these sensitive creatures.
It is known that, if there is too much human disturbance in one area, butterflies can migrate away from that area thereby defeating the objective.
By spreading the functions throughout a wide area we are able to dilute the environmental impact of the building works. This has the added effect of diluting the disturbance to the butterflies in any one particular area.
Natural waste management systems which deal with wastewater and effluent responsibly, recycling and reusing where possible.
By sourcing raw material and labor locally it has a multifaceted benefit. It reduces the environmental cost while not introducing foreign materials which would be out of context in Sikkim. By employing local labour we are able to avail of skills, expertise and local knowledge of the indigenous people.
Reduce the need for water, for use in construction. Introduce systems for the conservation and reuse of water.
By reducing the architectural footprint on site we are able to avoid serious habitation destruction. Stilts help to raise the architecture off the ground and allow the natural landscape to flow underneath.
Condensing and stacking the program also reduces the need building overlarge areas.
Butterflies which have evolved over millions of years, through natural selection they have managed to adapt to the environment of Sikkim. As we architects can instill a meaningful experience for the visitor to the Butterfly Sanctuary by observing these salient characteristics and interoperating them in to the Architecture.
For example the wing, of a butterfly, is an efficient branch structure. If this structure is mimicked in the architecture of one of the pavilions one can understand more readily the structural beauty and its application.
In this way the architecture can become an educational tool for learning about butterflies.
A phenotype is an organism’s observable characteristics or traits: such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird’s nest). Phenotypes result from the expression of an organism’s genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and the interactions between the two.
Polymorphism in biology occurs when two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — in other words, the occurrence of more than one form or morph. In order to be classified as such, morphs must occupy the same habitat at the same time and belong to a panmictic population (one with random mating).
flowers which lure pollinators. The warning signal may take the form of conspicuous colours, sounds, odours or other perceivable characteristics. Aposematic signals are beneficial for both the predator and prey, who both avoid potential harm.
This tendency to become highly noticeable and distinct from harmless organisms is the antithesis of crypsis, or avoidance of detection. Aposematism has been such a successful adaptation that harmless organisms have repeatedly evolved to mimic aposematic species, a pattern known as Batesian mimicry. Another related pattern is Müllerian mimicry, where aposematic species come to resemble one another.
As with the butterflies who perch on high vantage points on either a leaf or a rock to wait for a mate or watch out for predators so the architecture can take advantage of the landscape on which it sits. As with the butterflies long slender legs/columns keep the architecture off the ground, minimizing disturbance to the environment. This has an added affect of allowing water runoff to pass underneath the architecture.
Some butterflies, like the Oak Leaf butterfly, camouflage themselves when their wings are closed, resembling a leaf. When then when the wings are open display bright colours on the opposite side, to attract a mate. The architecture can follow this example by being camouflaged from one view/aspect and then reveal a bright beautiful underside as the visitor transgresses through the Sanctuary. The landscape then becomes alive with the architecture hiding and revealing itself as the observer travels through it.
The cold blooded butterfly cannot generate its own heat like a mammal can. It has to rely on the heat of the sun from which to take its energy. This is the same with architecture, if we eliminate electrical and other additive energy sources, which are costly, harmful to the environment and difficult to install and maintain on such a site.
By learning from the butterfly we are able to introduce systems and techniques which passively regulate the temperature of the buildings.
Butterflies with dark pigments facilitates absorption for heat energy while lighter pigmentation helps to reflect, therefore the external skin of the architecture should be of dark pigment while the internal skin of light, reflecting the heat back into the spaces.
Butterflies with light pigment reflect the suns energy on the thorax.
Butterflies also work hard angling their bodies to that of the sun, when they need to gain energy. This maximizes the amount of possible energy gain. By closing their wings over their thorax, the butterflies can prevent the heat loss or gain by the sun. The wings act as both insulation and reflection.
When the suns energy is not present, the butterflies maintain their temperature through an insulated layer of hair which grows on their abdomen. This acts as a jersey, trapping the air, and creating a buffer zone between their thorax and the outside air.
There are certain spaces and zones which will facilitate the development of the butterfly population and for the benefit to the visitors.
This is a net protected area where butterfly specific plants are nurtured and made ready for introduction to the park. The net protects the plants form butterflies laying their eggs on the plants and the caterpillars destroying them. This would be the largest of the enclosures.
Netted zone – Pre butterfly nurture zone.
This enclosure is a net protected area for the nurturing and introduction of butterfly species which are rare or in decline. This netted zone protects the eggs, larva and pupa from predators such as bird lizards and other creatures.
This is a netted enclosure where captive butterflies’ behavior can be studied in a next to natural environment.
These are area where specific plants are grown to attract butterflies. There would be a mix of nectar plants and host plants. As this would be the main way for attracting butterflies to the Sanctuary these areas would need to be extensive and well planned. These areas could be focused along the path or around the open spaces, giving the visitor the greatest opportunity to interact with the butterfly in its various forms.
Butterflies are cold blooded creatures and as such need the sunlight for to gain their energy. In an open system we have a chance to attract butterflies by providing space for butterflies to bask in the daylight.
Paths are predominantly the places where the public are able to view the butterflies. These routes should be wide enough to allow large groups to pass as well as allowing photographers to stop and photograph while still allowing other people passing space. The paths need to be widespread, whereby diluting the impact of humans on the area, but also not as numerous as to impact on the environment.
The nectar plants and host plants should be staggered in a way that allows optimum viewing of butterflies. By having smaller plants toward the front we are able to see deeper in to the butterflies’ environment.
There should be large parts of the Sanctuary which are inaccessible by the visitors, which act as refuge for the butterfly. These should have broad leaves for the butterflies to roost under.
There should be allocated spaces within the Sanctuary where sugar rich fruits such as banana can be left for the butterflies to eat.

Dunseath, J (2018) Hard hard hat hat & Cosmetic.wished.explorer. In: On Repeat, GiG Gallery, Munich, Germany, 22 September - 26 October 2018.
Dunseath's work Cosmetic.wished.explorer (2018) was a Digital film embedded in GIG website for duration of the show. The film cosmetic.wished.explorer raised questions and discussion about the nature of authorship, appropriation, language and interpretation, exposing categories of truth and error. It is a palimpsest of presentations, and positions. Using the advances of current technology, perhaps this is a version of Spatium, the cosmic analogue of the Idea and the mechanism of abstract relations becoming actualised? The film was made using Google Translate’s instant camera translation app. The app is designed to translate text from signs, handwritten notes, printed menus etc. by just pointing your camera. But what happens if it is used to ‘translate’ non-textual information? When pointed at buildings (with no text to decipher) the app attempted to ‘translate’ the building in front of it and revealed a magical quality by virtue of its translation of nothing into a different time and place. The unpredictable effect of producing deciphered gibberish revealed a unique series of language constructs. The title refers to the 3-word location of the filmed building. The 3 words generated from what3words is a new simple method used to describe global locations. In it, the world has been divided into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and each one assigned a unique 3-word address. It proposes that the system enables anyone can accurately find any location and share it more quickly, easily and with less ambiguity than any other system. It uses grid and language to reveal, classify and order. Dunseath's other work for the exhibition, Hard Hard Hat Hat (2018) was a Digital print on silver film. The hard hat is emblematic of function and construction. Hard hats make workers safe, protecting them from precarious and fast changing building sites. As an image the hard hat it is rendered useless. Repeated and inverted the hard hat becomes phallusised floating on an over elaborate shiny surface with embellished garish tones to be a reproducible image. Hard Hard Hat Hat is an oscillation between skill and de-skilled, authority and simulation, style and procedure, and distribution over production.
Curator for this exhibition was Magdalena Wisniowska.

Percy can mow 1/a of a lawn in half an hour. Mona and Percy working together at their respective rates can mow the entire lawn in a couple of hours. How many minutes will Mona take to mow the lawn?
Correct Answer : Choice A.
So, Percy can mow the lawn completely in 30a minutes.
Therefore, in 1 minute, Percy will mow 1/30a of the lawn.
Percy and Mona, together, can mow the lawn in 120 minutes.
So, together they mow 1/120 of the lawn.
Or M = 120a/(a - 4).
Alternative way to solve this question.
Assume a value for a. Say a = 5.
So, Percy mows 1/5th of the lawn in 30 minutes.
Percy can mow the entire lawn in 150 minutes.
Substitute a = 5 in the answer choices and check which of the answer choices results in 600.
If a = 5, we get M = 120*5/(5 - 4) = 600.

I’ve been digging for years. The soil is sometimes sandy; it doesn’t hold its shape; the rain passes through it without leaving any moisture. Or the soil is rocky; my small spade bends; the hole is shallow and uneven. But I am nothing if not persistent, and I keep digging, intent to complete a well and fill it with sustaining water. Sometimes I am digging into ministry. I am volunteering; I am “showing up”; I am hurrying and planning and doing in a flurry of religious fervor. Other times I am digging into reflection. I am reading; I am listening; I am choosing this person’s words or that person’s ideas to fill in my philosophy. But whether I am doing or listening, running or waiting, helping or hoping, the power is often draining out the bottom of me like a sieve, faster than I can replenish it on my own.
I find myself like wandering Israel, wanting fulfillment but returning to broken cisterns. Sometimes the cisterns are obvious- bad habits, even good habits, that are not building me up in Christ. More often the cisterns are hidden. As an avid book lover, I read many words; I am interested in the ideas and philosophies and beliefs of many. Yet I often turn to books, studies, and sermons before turning to the Book. I love events: times of fellowship, activities to promote God’s love. But I do not always actively pursue God. I am digging, and digging, and digging, but the water is shallow; it is seeping out of cracks in my life that I cannot fill with books or studies or people. Like the Israelites who, “have forsaken Me, the spring of Living Water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water”, my work is not met with fulfillment, no matter how fervent my attempt. And in reflection, it seems silly. The source of Living Water is near, but my independent digging feels useful? My futility is laughable.
From the outside, finding God in the midst of the desert should have been easy. There were few distractions. There were many needs. But God felt so far away. And the people dug and dug and dug to find water, but their attempt was futile. And so is mine. I want God near. I dig in the dirt to find Him. It gives me purpose; it makes me feel like an active participant in my faith. But man-made cisterns are not watertight. The filling is weakened by a constant, slow emptying. It is the opposite of a spring, a constant steady provision of water. So how do I set aside my digging to find the Living Water? It is reading His Word, listening to His voice, waiting on His call. Why do I insist on complicating my life with dirt and stones and shovels, when He has simply asked me to listen and wait on Him?

At the schools book fair Sam bought 13.0 adventure books and 17.0 mystery books. If 15.0 of the books were used, how many new books did he buy? Answer:

The book says the answer is 4.6 degreees but i don't know how the answer is found?
Resistance has risen TOTAL with 72.3 - 56 = 16.3 ohm when temperature has risen TOTAL with 75 degrees.
then 16.3 times lesser 1 ohm ~ 75 ÷ 16.3 ≈ 4.6 degrees.

Let the required number be 'x'. Then, 5 subtracted from 3 times x = 3x - 5.
Let the required number be 'x'. Thus, when multiplied by 7, it gives 7x, and x increases by 78.
Let the first number be 'x'. Hence, the second number = x + 1 and the third number = x + 2.
⇒ Sum of first and second numbers = (x) + (x + 1).
Let the smaller number be 'x'. So, the larger number = x + 7.
A man says, "I am thinking of a number. When I divide it by 3 and then add 5, my answer is twice the number I thought of". Find the number.
Let the number thought of by the man be 'x'.
Let the required number be 'x'.
Let the present age of Shikha = 'x' years.
So, the present age of Shikha's brother Ravish = (x + 3) years.
So, the present age of Shikha = 17 years, and the present age of Ravish = x+ 3 = 17 + 3 = 20 years.
Let the present age of Nilu = 'x' years.
Therefore, the present age of Nilu's mother, Mrs. Jain = (x + 27) years.
So, the present age of Nilu = x = 19 years, and the present age of Nilu's mother = x+ 27 = 19 + 27 = 46 years.
Let the present age of the son = 'x' years.
Therefore, the present age of his father = '4x' years.
Let the age of the girl = 'x' years.
So, the age of her younger sister = (x - 4) years.
Thus, the age of the brother = (x - 4 - 4) years = (x - 8) years.
and the age of the younger brother = x - 8 = 14 - 8 = 6 years.
One day, during their vacation at a beach resort, Shella found twice as many sea shells as Anita and Anita found 5 shells more than sandy. Together sandy and Shella found 16 sea shells. How many did each of them find?
Let the number of sea shells found by Sandy = 'x'.
The number of sea shells found by Shella = 2 (x + 5 ).
and the number of sea shells found by Shella = 2(x + 5) = 2(2 + 5) = 2(7 ) = 14.
Andy has twice as many marbles as Pandy, and Sandy has half as many has Andy and Pandy put together. Andy has 110 marbles which is 115 marbles less than Sandy. How many does each of them have?
Let the number of marbles with Pandy = 'x'.
So, the number of marbles with Andy = '2x'.
Thus, the number of marbles with Sandy = 12x +2x = 3x2.
So, Pandy has 150 marbles, Andy has 2x = 2(150) = 300 marbles, and Sandy has 3x2 = 3×1502 = 225 marbles.
Let the number of 50 paise coins = 'x'.
The number of 25 paise coins = '4x'.
Thus, the number of 50 paise coins = 'x' = 20, and the number of 25 paise coins = '4x' = 4 (20) = 80.
Let the breadth of the rectangle = 'x' metres.
So, the breadth of the rectangle = x = 38 metres, and the length of the rectangle = 2x = 2(38) = 76 metres.
Let the number of 25-paise coins in the purse be 'x'.
Let the number of students in the hostel be 'x'.
(i) x = 4 is the root of 3x − 5 = 7.
Hence, x = 4 is the root of 3x − 5 = 7.
(ii) x = 3 is the root of 5 + 3x = 14.
Hence, x = 3 is the root of 5 + 3x = 14.
(iii) x = 2 is the root of 3x − 2 = 8x − 12.
Hence, x = 2 is the root of 3x − 2 = 8x − 12.
(iv) x = 4 is the root of 3x2 = 6.
Hence, x = 4 is the root of 3x2 = 6.
(v) y = 2 is the root of y − 3 = 2y − 5.
Hence, y = 2 is the root of y − 3 = 2y − 5.
(vi) x = 8 is the root of 12x + 7 = 11.
Hence, x = 8 is the root of 12x + 7 = 11.
Here, LHS = x + 3 and RHS = 12.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 9, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 9 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS = x −7 and RHS =10.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 17, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 17 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS = 4x and RHS = 28.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 7, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 7 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS = x2 + 7 and RHS = 11.
Since RHS is a natural number, x2 must also be a natural number, so we must substitute values of x that are multiples of 2.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 8, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 8 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS = 2x + 4 and RHS = 3x.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 4, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 4 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS =x4 and RHS = 12.
Since RHS is a natural number, x4 must also be a natural number, so we must substitute values of x that are multiples of 4.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 48, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 48 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS =15x and RHS = 3.
Since RHS is a natural number, 15x must also be a natural number, so we must substitute values of x that are factors of 15.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 5, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 5 is the solution to this equation.
Here, LHS =x18 and RHS = 20.
Since RHS is a natural number, x18 must also be a natural number, so we must substitute values of x that are multiples of 18.
x LHS RHS Is LHS = RHS?
Therefore, if x = 360, LHS = RHS.
Hence, x = 360 is the solution to this equation.

Alice can do the work (paint a room, type some letters, etc.) in 2 hours.
If Bob helps, they can finish the job in 75 minutes.
How long would it take Bob to do it on his own?
Alice does 1/120 of the job in 1 minute.
Together they do 1/75 of the job in 1 minute.
So in 1 minute, Bob does 1/75 - 1/120 = 1/200 of the job.
So Bob takes "1 over that", or 200 minutes to do the job.
and "1 over that" equals time taken together.
For the above problem: 1/120 + 1/200 = 1/75.
Let the rate of worker1 be r, and the rate of worker2 be s.
When they work together, let w = fraction of the work done by worker1.
Then we have w + w * (r/s) = 1 and w = 1 / (1 + r/s).
for Alice we have, w = 1 / (1 + 120/200) = 1 / (320/200) = 5/8.
for Bob we have, w = 1 / (1 + 200/120) = 1 / (320/120) = 3/8.
5/8 * 120 = 3/8 * 200 = 75 minutes to complete the job.
then click "solve" to determine the third one.

Today begins. And, for most of us, we have either a mental list or written list (or electronic schedule) of the things we intend to get down today. We want the day to be fruitful, to be significant; we don’t want to simply waste the hours. So we plan and prepare and execute.
But that leads to a particular question: Did we get done the most important things? And behind that question are some even more basic questions: What are the most important things? What are the essential things that should become the priorities for the day?
For we are [God’s] workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).
A few things to notice in what Paul wrote. First, this life with have stepped into with God though Christ is not just about “where you go when you die.” (That is included, but that is not all!) We were made new–recreated–“for good works.” There’s a present, daily, regular intentionality in what God is doing in us. There are particular good works that are to characterize our lives.
Then also notice that God prepared these good works “beforehand.” They are pre-planned by God; these good works are already in His mind. They are on His schedule for us they are the important things to be done today.
And then also notice that God intends for us to “walk in” those good works. That is, we are to step into, live into, walk out, participate in, live out the good works He has prepared for us because He has created us in Christ Jesus for those works.
But how do we know? How do we know which good works we are to give ourselves to this day? Where do we find the list, the schedule?
One a very basic level, those good works include the broad and general instructions we find throughout Scripture. For example . . . We are to rejoice always (1 Thessalonians 5:16); we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). The Scriptures are clear that we are to love one another (John 15:12) and speak Gospel truth to one another (Ephesians 4:15, 25). But is it enough to simply walk in the broad, common “good works” we find mentioned in Scripture? Could it be that there are more specific good works God has designed for us? And, if so, how do we walk in those good works?
Jesus was able to come to the end of His earthly ministry affirming He had accomplished everything the Father intended for Him (John 17:4). Jesus walked in the good works that the Father had prepared for Him. But how? Jesus Himself pictures it for us.
Jesus only did the things He saw the Father doing. “The Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing” (John 5:19). He watched to see what the Father was doing.
Jesus only said the things He heard from the Father. “For I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say” (John 12:49). He took His cue as to what to say from the Father.
Jesus only did the works that the Father was doing. “The Father abiding in Me does His works” (John 14:10). He only did the things the Father was doing in and through Him.
So maybe one of the ways to keep on walking in the good works the Father has prepared for us to walk in would be to not start with our plans for the day but to watch and listen and look (and ask!) for the Father to clarify for us what He would like to do in and through us. We might come to discover what we were created for–works prepared beforehand for us to walk in.

Studying Law has always had its appeal. Lawyers in one form or the other have always been there, even before lawyer, law, as an idea was devised. There is something about the idea of someone having the knowledge and the skill to appeal to people’s senses, their sympathies and their emotions that is very exciting. The ability to persecute someone by deliberation, by an understanding of a countries justice system is power, no doubt. Not only that there is a lot of dignity and respect to the idea of being a lawyer as it is a very glamorous career, full of intensity and intrigue. One is tested for one’s self worth, wit, intelligence, humor and one’s skill as a rhetorician. Law school prepares one for the challenge, both intellectually and practically, but there are a lot many hurdles in the way to make it out of law school with decent mars. The exams, the presentations and assignments can become all too much since all of them kind of push a student into a corner making it difficult to focus on either of them. Making getting high distinction almost impossible. This is where law assignment writing experts can help you out of this lurch.
A law degree is a law degree whether you are smart or not. But a law degree cannot make you a specialist in corporate law. The knowledge of corporate law is about as indispensable as the wealth of a business owner. It is the kind of knowledge that can help bring a business down to its’ knees, or defend it from a case where it could stand to lose a good portion of its fortune. The inner workings of law are completely lost to the commoner, so much so that one couldn’t know which mistake could be a fatal blow in a business or for an individual. Not just that, law is about as diverse a field as any, having many different distinct fields that lawyers specialize in.
Many students who are trying to juggle between classes, presentations, mock courts and social life find it impossible to study. Assignments require extensive studying, deliberation, referencing and sourcing of material and subjects to be written about. Even after having done all the problem of how actually one writes an assignment doesn’t go away. Which is why students go look for online assignment writing help from professional academic help providers. Online Assignment Expert is one of the best Law Assignment writing services in the business. We take pride in having delivered on all our promises and having had so many satisfied customers.

Chef likes to travel very much. He plans some travel routes and wants to know their lengths. He hired you to make these calculations. But be careful, some of the routes are incorrect. There may be some misspelling in city names or there will be no road between some two consecutive cities in the route. Also note that Chef hates to visit the same city twice during his travel. Even the last city should differ from the first. Two consecutive cities in the route should also be different. So you need to check these conditions for the given routes too.
You will be given the list of all cities and all roads between them with their lengths. All roads are one-way. Also you will be given the list of all travel routes that Chef plans. For each route you should check whether it is correct and find its length in this case.
The first line contains positive integer N, the number of cities. The second line contains space separated list of N strings, city names. All city names are distinct.
The third line contains non-negative integer M, the number of available roads. Each of the next M lines describes one road and contains names C1 and C2 of two cities followed by the positive integer D, the length of the one-way road that connects C1 with C2. It is guaranteed that C1 and C2 will be correct names of two different cities from the list of N cities given in the second line of the input file. For each pair of different cities there is at most one road in each direction and each road will be described exactly once in the input file.
Next line contains positive integer T, the number of travel routes planned by the Chef. Each of the next T lines contains positive integer K followed by K strings, names of cities of the current route. Cities are given in order in which Chef will visit them during his travel.
All strings in the input file composed only of lowercase, uppercase letters of the English alphabet and hyphens. Each string is non-empty and has length at most 20. If some line of the input file contains more then one element than consecutive elements of this line are separated by exactly one space. Each line of the input file has no leading or trailing spaces.
For each travel route from the input file output a single line containing word ERROR if the route is incorrect and its length otherwise.
The 2nd route is incorrect since there is no road from New-York to Kiev. Note however that inverse road from Kiev to New-York exists.
The 3rd route is incorrect since the first city coincides with the last one.
The 4th route is incorrect since there is no city with name Kyiv (Probably Chef means Kiev but he misspells this word).
The 8th route is incorrect since there is no road from Miami to Kiev.
The 9th route is incorrect since there is no road from Donetsk to Hollywood.
The 10th route is correct. Note that a route composed of exactly one city is always correct provided that city name is written correctly.
The 12th route is incorrect since city New-York is visited twice.
Finally the 13th route is incorrect since we have equal consecutive cities.

Where does he generally live?
Where does he catch fish?
How is the life of a fisherman?
When does he become happy?
Answer: A Fisherman has a boat and a net to catch fish. He generally lives by the side of rivers, canals, seas for his professional advantages. He catches fish all day and night. Sometimes, he takes risk of his life. He catches fish even when the sea or river becomes furious. Sometimes, he loses his life while fishing. He often works with a group. He becomes very happy after catching a lot of fish. He sometimes returns home without any fish. He leads a very miserable life. He is often cheated. We should be kind to them.
Answer: The man who earns his living by fishing is a fisherman. Bangladesh is the land of rivers, canals with lots of fishes, fishing has become an important occupation for many people. Fish is the important source of our proteins. So, we can say our fishermen supply us with proteinoids food. But it is a matter of regret that the overall condition of our fishermen is not satisfactory. They usually live near the rivers and on the bank of the canals. Their houses are usually thatch-roofed houses. When they catch fish abundantly, they pass their days happily. But they face hard days when fish is scant. There are some fishermen who go to the deep sea for fishing and spend their days together. Sometimes, the sea turns rough and so they cannot go fishing. Sometimes the sea becomes suddenly rough and the members of their family remain anxious for their arrival. Thus, a fisherman earns his livelihood facing a lot of adverse situations.

My daughter is at the age where she’s beginning to make friends at daycare (“school”) and starting to understand the concept of friendship. She’s also beginning to discover that just because she knows someone, or even attends the same school as them, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re friends. She’s turning 4 in two weeks so as you can imagines, while she doesn’t fully understand why you would be friends with some people and not others, she’s at a very impressionable age so I want her to learn what friendship is all about in a positive light.
Friendships plays such a pivitol role in peoples lives, especially during childhood so I want the things that influence her each day to not only be fun, but to be learning experiences and to provoke discussion with her dad, brother, and I. One of these influences that we’ve (Bella & I) sort of fallen in love with lately is the Nick Jr. TV show Little Charmers. In the magical land of Charmville, three Charmers-in-Training do their best to make good use of their new magical powers which tend to lead to hilarious misadventures! The best part is that the Charmers find that their most important power is true friendship. They learn that with a mix of teamwork and self-confidence they can overcome anything that comes their way.
If course there is a Little Charmers toy line as well, which as you can see my daughter adores. I must admit the toys are pretty cute and they do a great job of keeping that magical feeling of friendship alive even once the TV screen is off. Lately Hazel has been hanging out with our family just about everywhere we go!
If you’ve been trying to think of the perfect toy to cultivate fun and learning for one of the kiddos in your life this year, Little Charmers are the perfect holiday gift! Visit the Little Charmers website to make this holiday season magical!

My granddaughter would love these!
Those looks adorable! I’m sure any girl would love that.
What an adorable doll. You just gave me an idea on what to give my twin granddaughters for Christmas.
She’s totally cute, and her charmers she looks had fun and enjoyed.
