[Satellite TODAY 06-04-10] Intelsat CTO Thierry Guillemin has revealed the details of its behind-the-scenes cooperative effort with customers and AMC-11 operator SES to mitigate interference threats posed by Galaxy 15 in an upcoming interview with Satellite News. According to Guillemin, the panic stirred over Galaxy 15’s potential to disrupt U.S. pay TV services was largely “unfounded,” as the operators developed a strategy with the customers involved almost immediately after Intelsat lost control of the satellite April 5 due to an anomaly. “We communicated our situation with everyone involved from day one,” said Guillemin. “We worked with both SES and customers and had several options to prevent any service disruption.

Saefong, MarketWatch HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- When the world's most populous nation sets its sights on securing a resource, it's in the best interest of investors to take notice -- and potash looks like China's next target. Potash is a key ingredient used in making fertilizers, which boost crop yields.

"China is potash-deficient. Where the Water Buffalo Roam Throughout Asia, many farmers are replacing their water buffalo with more efficient modern tractors. It's no surprise then that China watched closely when Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. China's state-owned Sinochem Corp. has hired investment bankers to probe a role for it in the fertilizer company's future, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. News reports this week said Sinochem has also approached Singapore's Temasek Holdings regarding the possible creation of a bidding consortium for Potash Corp.

China's actions have raised questions as to whether it's trying to monopolize resources. Securing its place. Roman roads. Roman roads (in Latin, viae - singular via) were vital to the maintenance and development of the Roman state, and were built from about 500 BC through the expansion and consolidation of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.[1] They provided efficient means for the overland movement of armies, officials and civilians, and the inland carriage of official communications and trade goods.[2] Roman roads were of several kinds, ranging from small local roads to broad, long-distance highways built to connect cities, major towns and military bases.

These major roads were often stone-paved and metaled, cambered for drainage, and were flanked by footpaths, bridleways and drainage ditches. They were laid along accurately surveyed courses, and some were cut through hills, or conducted over rivers and ravines on bridgework. Sections could be supported over marshy ground on rafted or piled foundations.[3][4] Roman systems[edit] For specific roads, see Roman road locations below. Types[edit] Caliphate.

In its earliest days, the first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, exhibited elements of direct democracy (shura).[1] It was led, at first, by Muhammad's immediate disciples and family as a continuation of the religious systems he had introduced. The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that as a head of state, a caliph should be elected by Muslims or their representatives.[2] Followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God (Allah) from the Ahl al-Bayt (the "Family of the House", Muhammad's direct descendents). From the end of the Rashidun period until 1924, caliphates, sometimes two at a single time, real and illusory, were ruled by dynasties. The first of these was the Umayyad dynasty, followed by the Abbasid, the Fatimid and finally the Ottoman dynasty. The caliphate was "the core leader concept of Sunni Islam, by the consensus of the Muslim majority in the early centuries".[3] History[edit] Rashidun (632–661)[edit] Rashidun Caliphate at its greatest extent.

Paper

Elsevier. Alexa the Web Information Company. CapitolHearings.org. Welcome to the United Nations. Latest news, comment and reviews from the Guardian. James Frederick Ferrier. James Frederick Ferrier (16 June 1808, Edinburgh – 11 June 1864, St Andrews) was a Scottish metaphysical writer. He introduced the term epistemology.[1] Education and early writings[edit] Early career[edit] Ferrier's first contribution to metaphysics was a series of articles in Blackwood's Magazine (1838–1839), entitled An Introduction to the Philosophy of Consciousness.

In these he condemns previous philosophers for ignoring in their psychological investigations the fact of consciousness, which is the distinctive feature of man, and confining their observation to the so-called states of the mind. Consciousness comes into manifestation only when the man has used the word with full knowledge of what it means. This notion he must originate within himself. Later writings[edit] Self-evident truths concerning knowing and the known are discussed in the Institutes of Metaphysic (Ferrier is thought to have coined the term epistemology in this work, p. 46).
