George IV of the united Kingdom was hated for his lavish lifestyle. He was good at bribing other politicians and being bribed himself. In the movie, Black Adder, Hugh Laurie(House) play George and his acting brings out the stupidity that was assumed about George IV. The movie is a comedy and also stars Mr Bean.

Under Armour- Paige

*Founded 1996 Kevin Plank(a football player for Maryland)

*His idea was to make a t-shirt made from high tech fabric

*The fabric he chose was designed to wick the sweat or other moisture from the athletes body and send it to the outside of the clothing so it almost wipes off, instead of getting soaked into the clothing. (Wick- any piece of material that draws liquid up by capillary action)

*He believed the athlete could perform better if they were dry, and this fabric would regulate body temperature

*$310,000 to start his business

*November 18th, 1995- first prototype

*Set up shop in his grandmothers basement

*His first sale was to Georgia Tech University

*Shortly after, he was supplying his performance apparel to more division one football teams and over 2 dozen National Football Teams.

*After he realized that his performance wear that kept people dry, regulated their body temperature, and kept them comfortable because it was light weight, could be used by more than just athletes he decided to make a 5 product line:

-Coldgear
-Loosegear
-Turfgear
-Allseasonsgear
-Heatgear

*1998- Under Armour became the offical supplier of the Nation Football League Europe

*Under Armour supplied clothing for the movie “Any Given Sunday" and “The Replacements

*2000- Under Armour had 8000 official retail locations all over the world

*Major Sponsors

-Major league lacrosse
-Major league Soccer
-National Hockey League
-USA Baseball
-US Ski Team

Plank's Moto-if you create product for the people who will appreciate it most, then it will sell.

Kyrgystan`s revolution of 2010, April

First I heard about it from my friend on-line. She was shoked that i did not know anything. She told me that Pres. Bekishev was accused in thieft of state level. Opposition started demonstrashions. Things turned ugly - violence, millitary and shooting. About 80 people got killed.


President escaped from his residence and was nowhere to be found.

Different sourses of news tells very different stories about who planned this revolution. Some say Russia, sother say USA..

For a fact, new goverment leader is Roza Otunbayeva. She promisses democrasy and justice. Situation is difficu;t and confusing. Mr. Bekishev shoved up in south part of Kyrgystan, where he has support of citizens. He does not want to resign, but he probably does not planning on going back to Bishkek(capital) due to how many people suffered from revolution.

Nuclear plan and pipeline geopolitics

Obama's nuclear initiative riddled with contradictions, April 15
Section: Editorial, pg. A22
Obama's nuclear initiative riddled with
contradictions, April 15
I applaud Haroon Siddiqui for exposing the link between Barack Obama's nuclear initiative and pipeline geopolitics in the Middle East. The U.S. focuses on Iran's alleged nuclear weapons ambition but fails to mention that Iran has the world's second largest reserves of oil and gas.
Also ignored is the fact that U.S. military bases encircle Iran. Energy concerns have underpinned U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East for decades.
By drawing attention to geopolitics, Siddiqui looks beyond the superficial to the essence. Pipeline geopolitics are immense but seldom discussed. Pipelines link trading partners and affect the balance of power in the region. Against U.S. wishes, Pakistan has agreed to a pipeline from Iran. The U.S. favours TAPI, a project to import gas from Turkmenistan via Afghanistan to Pakistan and India. Turkmenistan has the world's fourth largest reserves of natural gas. The TAPI project is in the Afghan Development Plan (2008) and in documentation referenced by G8 foreign ministers at their Gatineau meeting in March. And now there's a troop surge in Afghanistan along the route of the proposed pipeline. A coincidence?

Form 18's new service name comes from article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I think it is worthwhile to read that out, because that is one of the basic benchmarks against which one should consider the performance of the governments of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It reads: everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others, and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
The governments of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in virtue of their membership in the OSCE, are also committed to observe the Helsinki Final Act of 1975. This states the binding importance of, and I quote, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief." The governments, I repeat, have freely agreed to actually observe and commit themselves to fulfill those commitments. These commitments recognize that freedom of religion or belief is a litmus test of the state of human rights in any society, embracing as it does freedom of speech and association, freedom to promote one's beliefs, freedom to change one's beliefs, freedom to think differently, freedom of the media, and so on.
We had a rather dramatic demonstration of this in August in Uzbekistan when our correspondent, Igor Rotar, was detained by the Uzbek government. When Igor asked on what charges he was being detained, then he was asked to guess what he should be detained under. And so he started to make some guesses. Then the officials said to him, just say yes or no."
This illustrates that when one considers Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, one is not considering states where the rule of law can be said to apply. We are looking at states where it is instead the whim of the government. Both these states have agreed to observe the international human rights standards, I have observed, and others, and they have agreed to do so repeatedly, and all of these states break them. So implementation and how we can actually pressure such governments to implement the commitments that they have freely made is a key issue, not least because it is the citizens of these countries, as we have so graphically heard just now, who bear the consequences of their own government's lack of good faith.
My colleague Felix Corley will now pick out some major issues that affect both Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. They are just some of the major issues. We hope that more will appear in questions and answers. We would also encourage you to actually seek more detail in the question and answer session that will follow.

This source is a disscussion about religious freedoms in Uzbekistan and turkmenistan. (Turkmenistan~s Constitution declares religious freedom) Anonimus tells the story about his or her expirience in 1994, when Turkmenistan just got Independence. This person who had Christian believes started to atend the Church abnd got in trouble.
