The Egypt-backed plan had envisaged a regional forum which analysts say might have forced Israel to reveal whether or not it has nuclear weapons.
The proposal was blocked by the US, the UK and Canada. The next review is set for  2020.
Israel neither confirms nor denies it has a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Speaking after four weeks of negotiations, US Under-Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller accused Egypt and other Arab countries of "not willing to let go of these unrealistic and unworkable conditions" for future talks.
She also said some participants tried to "cynically manipulate" the whole process.
But Egypt warned that the failure to reach a deal "will have consequences in front of the Arab world and public opinion", the Associated Press news agency reports.
Last month, Egypt had proposed to stage a regional conference - with or without Israel's participation and without an agreed agenda.
Some analysts suggested that this move might have forced Israel - which is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) - to publicly clarify its position on nuclear weapons.
Decisions at NPT review conferences - held every five years - are made by consensus.
The failure of the current talks means the next gathering could only be held in 2020 at the earliest.

A UN conference aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has ended in failure after a row over a nuclear-free Middle East proposal.


Mothers-to-be are more likely to get malaria as their immunity is lowered, says the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).
Malaria carries serious risks for mother and baby including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labour.
The tropical disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a fever, flu-like symptoms, vomiting and diarrhoea.
There have been no malaria-related deaths in pregnant or recently pregnant women in the UK in the past decade but the RCOG says it has been receiving inquires from worried women.
In the UK, about 1,500 cases of malaria are reported each year and about 10 people will die, said the RCOG.
It says all non-essential trips to areas with a high risk of malaria should be avoided.
Risk areas include large areas of Africa, Asia including China and India, Central and South America, parts of the Middle East and some Pacific Islands.
If the trip is unavoidable, the college advises women to seek advice from a centre with expertise in malaria which will provide information on ways to reduce the risk of infection.
Women should make sure they are aware of the risk, take out measures such as mosquito nets for bite prevention and take anti-malarial medication.
Philippa Marsden, who chairs the RCOG's patient information committee, said although the risks were still relatively small it was important that women were well-informed.
Cath Broderick of the RCOG women's network said: "If women are worried about symptoms after returning from a high-risk country and think they may have malaria, they should see a doctor immediately and inform them of their recent travels."
Symptoms can take a week or more to develop after being bitten.

Pregnant women should visit countries with a risk of malaria only if their trip is essential, experts are warning.


Researchers at the University of Sheffield said the tumours were effectively "fertilising" the bone to help themselves grow.
The study, in the journal Nature, said it may be possible to protect bone from a tumour's nefarious influence and consequently stop the cancer's spread.
Cancer charities said this opened up "a whole new avenue for research".
Around 85% of breast cancers that spread around the body end up in bone, at which point the cancer is difficult to treat and more deadly.
The scientists, in Sheffield and the University of Copenhagen, discovered patients with secondary cancers had higher levels of an enzyme called LOX being produced by their tumours and released into the blood.
Bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. But in a series of experiments on mice, the research team showed LOX was disrupting the process and leaving lesions and holes in the bone.
Using drugs to block LOX prevented the cancer from spreading.
Dr Alison Gartland, a reader in bone and cancer biology at the university, told the BBC News website: "We think it's a significant breakthrough in trying to prevent metastases (secondary tumours) in breast cancer.
"The cancer cells in the primary tumour are actually fertilising the soil for the future growth of itself, LOX is changing the environment in bone to make it better to grow."
The animal tests also showed that a set of osteoporosis drugs called bisphosphonates could prevent the spread of cancer.
Bisphosphonates also interfere with the way bone is recycled in order to strengthen it.
They are already given to some cancer patients, but the Sheffield team believe they could have a much larger role.
The effect was discovered only in oestrogen-negative breast cancers. They account for around a third of cases, but are far more deadly.
Katherine Woods, from Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "By unveiling the role that the protein LOX is playing, these results open up a whole new avenue for research and treatments that could stop breast cancer spreading to the bone.
"The research also adds weight to the growing body of evidence supporting the role of bisphosphonates in stopping secondary breast cancer in its tracks.
"The reality of living with secondary breast cancer in the bone is a stark one, which leaves many women with bone pain and fractures that need extensive surgery just when they need to be making the most of the time they have left with friends and family."
The findings may also apply in colon cancer.

Breast cancers can manipulate the structure of bone to make it easier to spread there, a study has found.


In Sackett v. EPA plaintiffs argued, "that by issuing compliance orders without first giving property owners a chance to contest them in court, the EPA skirts the federal law and the Fifth Amendment guarantee of due process." The Supreme Court agreed and ordered the EPA to stop judging violators outside the judiciary.

The Environmental Protection Agency a division of the executive branch regularly creates and enforces laws outside the legislative process and judges the violators outside the judiciary.


While it is often claimed that a suspected terrorist is set to kill others, and thus his torture is justified, this does not necessarily make sense. The suspected terrorist in custody is not going to directly kill anyone. They are merely suspected to have information that could possibly lead to the interception of those that are threatening to kill others. The disconnect is so wide between the suspected terrorists and the victims that the notion of "punishing" the suspected terrorist in custody does not make sense.

Suspected information-holders cannot be punished for crimes they do not commit.


In one treasure digging ritual, Joseph Smith, Sr. made two concentric circles using witch hazel sticks to ward off evil spirits, walked three times around the periphery muttering incantations, stuck a steel rod in the center to mark the treasure, and enjoined complete silence on the diggers, lest they arouse the guardian spirit. After consulting his son Joseph, he said the dig was unsuccessful because of an early error in the ritual. Howe, 1823, pp. 238-39 William Stafford statement

Magical rituals and symbols were essential elements of the treasure excavations in which Joseph Smith and his family participated.

I have been home all day and have been watching news channels and they have been covering the Sydney hostage crisis all day as BREAKING NEWS and BBC and Skynews both for most part of the day were showing live feed form Australian Channels 7 News and 9News. I think this is a huge overreaction. I am not trying to underestimate the seriousness of the situation. The Australian media are right to cover this as much as possible but I don't think it is healthy for news channels in other parts of the world to broadcast this news 24 7. Yesterday evening, When my dad called me from his work and told me to watch the news because the radio is saying there has been a terrorist attack in Sydney , I honesty thought it was a massive explosion with lots of casualties, I was glad to see that it was not that serious. As a result of living in The Netherlands and The UK, I seem to have subconsciously typed 'the' in front of Australia in the title. Please do not judge my argument based on that typo.

I don't think news channels outside the Australia should have covered the hostage crisis as an all day breaking news.


As you'll know if you check my post history, I love black comedy and other comedy that hits certain groups. For quite a bit earlier this year, my favorite sub was r meanjokes in fact . I've gotten this criticism at least once on Reddit, and a handful of occasions in real life that these jokes are toxic. But I disagree. As long as you are telling the jokes in the appropriate environment i.e. not putting racist jokes on r BlackPeopleTwitter and keeping them on r meanjokes , there is nothing wrong about enjoying them. So an enjoyment of racist jokes is not evidence of racism. Enjoying sexist jokes isn't evidence of sexism, etc An enjoyment of dark comedy is an enjoyment of dark comedy it simply makes me laugh better there are no toxic elements to it.

An enjoyment of dark comedy is not bad, wrong or reflective of any prejudice


Especially information on what to do when missing the pill once, twice, or three times is often poorly understood or not adequately conveyed to patients.

The problem with contraception related education is not that people need to know it exists, but how to use it properly.


Just as the title says. I think that if, say, Duke Energy is found to have committed criminal code violations for their coal ash pond breach on the Dan River that the members of the board at the time should have to pay the costs, not the company itself which would hit shareholders who may have had nothing to do with it . I base this logic on three concepts Forcing a corporation to pay fines for criminal violations rarely results in a change in leadership see JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon , which means the same bad actors are still in a position of authority Shareholders at most levels do not have operational control over a corporation, and invest in it believing that to one degree or another the corporation is NOT committing criminal acts and The Board of Directors is theoretically legally responsible for a company. Punishing the board for failure to govern would do more to fix poor corporate behavior than nearly anything else. I am open to your input. .

I believe that if a corporation is found to have committed a criminal violation, the entire Board of Directors at the time should be forced to pay restitution, instead of the corporation paying it, and they should all be imprisoned.


Would I wish to send up my name now ? Again I declined , to the polite astonishment of the concierge , who evidently considered me a queer sort of a friend . He was called to his desk by a guest , who wished to ask questions , of course , and I waited where I was . At a quarter to eleven Herbert Bayliss emerged from the elevator . His appearance almost shocked me . Out late the night before ! He looked as if he had been out all night for many nights .


It might have been by Gad , but it was by Worth . Four shades of grey , and pearls .

I did not join in `` the cheer Americain , '' but I did burst out laughing , a proceeding which caused the young lady at my left to pat my arm and nod delighted approval . She evidently thought I was becoming gay and lighthearted at last . She was never more mistaken . It was nearly two o'clock and I had had quite enough of L'Abbaye . I had not enjoyed myself -- had not expected to , so far as that went . I hope I am not a prig , and , whatever I am or am not , priggishness had no part in my feelings then . Under ordinary circumstances I should not have enjoyed myself in a place like that .

`` Yes . But we did have extraordinarily good weather for that . '' `` Why , not particularly good . We slowed down about midnight . There was a real fog then and the glass was low .

Dorsomedial hypothalamic lesions alter intake of an imbalanced amino acid diet in rats.
Within 3 h of ingesting an imbalanced amino acid diet (IAAD), rats show attenuated intake. The associated conditioned taste aversion can be ameliorated by giving the serotonin3 receptor blocker, tropisetron (TROP). A recent c-fos study indicated that the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMN) may be activated 2-3 h after ingestion of IAAD. In Experiment 1, DMN-lesioned rats (DMNL) or sham-operated (SHAM) rats were injected with saline (SAL) or TROP just before introduction of IAAD. By 3 h, SAL-DMNL rats consumed more (P < 0.01) of the IAAD than did the SAL-SHAM rats. Thereafter, over the next 21 h, the intake of the SAL-DMNL group returned to control levels. TROP treatment enhanced the intake of the treated groups; the TROP and the lesion effect were additive (P < 0.01). By d 4 of receiving the IAAD, the DMNL groups were eating less than SHAM rats (P < 0.05). The data suggest that the DMN may be involved in the early detection of the amino acid deficiency induced by IAAD, is not involved in the TROP effect and is necessary for proper long-term adaptation to an IAAD.


Q:

bootstrap.min.css sets transparency where not wanted

I have a small chatbox at the bottom of my page which seems to be inheriting CSS style from bootstrap.min.css and that chatbox is transparent which is a nuisance because the underlying text on the page shows through and what is worse, is that hyperlinks on the page are over-riding clickable areas in the chatbox for opening, closing and submitting messages.
I have tried adding CSS style to the chatbox for opacity and rgba. Even tried adding a background image but to no effect.
I have since modified the chatbox to display an iFrame from a different site that does not use bootstrap.min.css.
But even the iFrame page is affected by transparency. I can remove the transparency setting in bootstrap.min.css but that will not solve my bigger problem... I am intending to use this chatbox on several sites and may not have control of the site's CSS.
So I need a way to override the parent site's CSS just for the chatbox.
If that is impossible, then I can  weed out the transparency from bootstrap.min.css that is used on my own sites. However I do wonder what is the point of such transparency when it is useless here...

A:

It's a z-index problem which is common when integrating iframes, apply z-index: 2000; (or whatever number as long as it comes on top) on your chatbox div so your chatbox will still stay upfront.

SEC. 2. FEDERAL-STATE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) In General.--Any State which desires to do so may enter into
and participate in an agreement under this title with the Secretary of
Labor (in this title referred to as the ``Secretary''). Any State which
is a party to an agreement under this title may, upon providing 30 days
written notice to the Secretary, terminate such agreement.
    (b) Provisions of Agreement.--Any agreement under subsection (a)
shall provide that the State agency of the State will make payments of
temporary emergency unemployment compensation to individuals who--
            (1) have exhausted all rights to regular compensation under
        the State law;
            (2) have no rights to compensation (including both regular
        compensation and extended compensation) with respect to a week
        under such law or any other State unemployment compensation law
        or to compensation under any other Federal law (and are not

        such law because such individual has received all regular
        compensation available to such individual based on employment
        or wages during such individual's base period; or
            (2) such individual's rights to such compensation have been

this title--
            (1) the amount of temporary emergency unemployment
        compensation which shall be payable to any individual for any
        week of total unemployment shall be equal to the amount of the
        regular compensation (including dependents' allowances) payable

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Combating Climate Change Through

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Agricultural, grassland, and forestry practices play an
        essential role in capturing atmospheric carbon and sequestering
        it as soil organic matter.
            (2) Released carbon can be captured through improved
        grassland management, tree planting, forest preservation, and
        enhanced agronomic and irrigation practices.
            (3) Promoting increased natural carbon sinks could have a
        significant impact on the world's projected carbon emissions
        from the burning of fossil fuels.
            (4) Certain agricultural and forestry practices can reduce
        greenhouse gases: (A) avoiding emissions by maintaining
        existing carbon storage in trees and soils; (B) increasing
        carbon storage by, e.g., tree planting, conversion from
        conventional to conservation tillage practices on agricultural
        lands;
            (5) The large potentials exist through known cropping and
        land management practices such as adoption of no-till, reduced
        fallow and use of cover crops, and conservation set-asides with
        perennial grasses and trees.

SEC. 3. CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND SOIL CONSERVATION CREDIT.

    (a) In General.--Subpart D of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1
