If I understand the numbering correctly, the differences there are entirely EPEL's - munin just releases 2.0.25.\n\nNot entirely accurate, 2.0.25-5 integrated the pre-2.0.26 patches that have not been released yet. They have not changed either, so the author was OK with a pre-release patch until he was ready to release 2.0.26.\n\nThat makes sense (thank you!), but as far as I can tell from https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/releases 2.0.26 was never released, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to log with upstream. If anything, it seems to me like upstream are moving towards a 3.0 release (their dev release is *way* past 2.1, currently at 2.999.2). Perhaps epel should back out the 2.0.26-inspired changes, and hold fire until upstream release a new production version?\n\nUpstream have produced a (three-line) patch which works for me with C6 and EPEL munin 2.0.33-1. Having restored EPEL munin to my (one and only) C7 server, I can confirm it works there, too.\nInterestingly, upstream say the regression was introduced in 2.0.26, which fits with the timing we see."

CSP plants can include low-cost energy storage, allowing them to provide electricity even when the sun is not shining.\n\nThe projects announced Friday will seek to improve component and system designs to extend operation to an average of about 18 hours per day, a level of production that DOE says could displace traditional coal-burning power plants.\n\nThe thirteen award selections announced today fall into two areas:\n\nConcentrating Solar Power Systems Studies \u2013 projects awarded under this category will evaluate the feasibility of a complete CSP baseload system and support development of prototype systems for field testing.\n\nAbengoa Solar, Inc. \u2013 Lakewood, CO \u2013 up to $10.6 millionAbengoa Solar will develop a new power tower technology that captures heat in a high-temperature receiver at the"
+"DISCUS (Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S.) likes to have an annual event, about this time of year, at the George Washington Distillery at Mount Vernon in Virginia. This week, whiskey was made for the first time in the reconstructed distillery that officially opened in March. Master Distillers from different DISCUS-member companies made the rye-mash spirit. They were Jimmy Russell of Wild Turkey; Joe Dangler of Virginia Gentleman; Ken Pierce of Very Old Barton; Gerry Webb of I.W. Harper and Dave Pickerell of Maker\u2019s Mark.\n\nI know everybody expect Gerry Webb. I'm not sure who he might be. I. W. Harper is a Diageo product, but it's made by Four Roses.\n\nAlthough the whiskey has to age for a few years first, they intend to bottle and sell it in the Mount Vernon gift shop. This is good news because the whiskey made there in the past (in a makeshift still while the distillery itself was under construction) was sold at high prices for charitable fund-raising, so most whiskey enthusiasts never got close to it.\n\nThe bottle in Brenda's picture is of whiskey that we (I helped) mixed up at Mount Vernon using whiskey supplied by all of the DISCUS"

+"Text Preview\n\nContinue reading...\n\nDue to the advanced state of industry a number of devices and machines have come into common use which, often through intentional misuse, result in very serious injuries. Two examples are the automobile and the gun. When a serious injury results from something such as an automobile accident the victim usually has a very short period in which to obtain emergency medical intervention before the shock resulting from his or her injuries is irreversible. Usually this period of time is not longer than one hour, and is often less. If measures to treat shock and the cause of the shock, massive internal bleeding for instance, are not instituted within this first hour after the injury the mortality rate increases exponentially every fifteen to twenty minutes.\n\nThe state of emergency medical care currently practiced in this community involves an excellent pre-hospital phase under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles City paramedics. The paramedics have jurisdiction of about thirty-five emergency rooms to which their patients can be transferred after beginning medical treatment at the scene of the accident. This is where the problem occurs. To provide the best possible emergency care at the hospital, two factors play an important"

+"Abstract : The results of experiments performed during this reporting period assess possible mechanisms involved in immunoregulation by 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine (UDMH). Treatment of mice with UDMH suppresses activity and production of interleukin-1 (L1) by partially blocking (IL1) receptor expression. Interleukin-2 (IL2) activity and production was also suppressed by UDMH, although the basal level of IL2 receptor was not affected. UDMH may partially reverse the immunosuppressive effects of Corynebacterium parvum in mice by interfacing with PGE2 production, but not hydrogen peroxide. Preliminary results show UDMH may affect murine splenic T-lymphocyte populations defined by helper/inducer (L3T4) and suppressor/cytotoxic (LYT-2) monoclonal antibodies. Antigen presenting B-cells and macrophage also show variable la antigen expression upon exposure to UDMH. These experiments are just getting underway, but early results show UDMH increases intracellular Ca (++) within a few seconds of its addition to murine splenocytes in the resting state (without mitogen). The interaction of UDMH of intracellular (Ca(++) levels could help define mechanisms of UDMH-induced immunomodulation. Keywords: Toxicity. (AW)"

Prior to making Waldorf salad myself, I swore I didn\u2019t like it! I think I was tainted by the weepy presentation of Waldorf salads in grocery store deli cases.\n\nIf you fall into the same camp as me, I strongly suggest you give Eckert's Waldorf Salad recipe a try.

In this case, though, the research being done by Google's X Labs isn't about making a consumer device; instead it is about helping solve the needs of people suffering from one of the growing global health problems: diabetes.\n\nOne of the biggest problems for those trying to control their glucose levels, whether they have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, is monitoring their glucose levels. For most people, this means they have to prick their finger and test their blood. The idea of the smart contact lens is to monitor the glucose in a person's tears, as often as once every second.\n\nThe chips and sensors are so small they look like glitter, and the antenna thinner than a human hair. Google is investigating the integration of LEDs into the system, which light up if the glucose levels in a person's tears have dropped below or risen above certain levels.

As a mediator in the small claims court in my county, I have witnessed seemingly impossible conflicts get resolved with very creative solutions when cases get booted out to mediation. It turns out that most cases can be solved outside of the courtroom if both parties are willing to hear each other out under the guidance of a great listener. The role of an effective mediator is to not tell the parties what to do, but to empower them to craft their own solution by moving from their positions (what each party wants) to interests (why they want it).

We cover a lot of ground as we follow Lights around his daily chores and rapidly piece together what the last five years of his life have been like.

After his wife attempts suicide and the girl across the street disappears, Guy realizes he is not happy and begins to question his world and its rules.

I was reading about how rats become obese when they're given chocolate Ensure, the \"meal replacement drink\", when I came across this:\n\n...neither [obesity-prone] nor [obesity-resistant] rats will overeat on either vanilla- or strawberry-flavored Ensure.\n\nThe only meaningful difference between chocolate, vanilla and strawberry Ensure is the flavor, yet rats eating the chocolate variety overate, rapidly gained fat and became metabolically ill, while rats eating the other flavors didn't (1). Furthermore, the study suggested that the food's flavor determined, in part, what amount of fatness the rats' bodies \"defended.\"\n\nAs I explained in previous posts, the human (and rodent) brain regulates the amount of fat the body carries, in a manner similar to how the brain regulates blood pressure, body temperature, blood oxygenation and blood pH (2). That fact, in addition to several other lines of evidence, suggests that obesity probably"

+"It's all Black & White in the Bathroom\n\nSince it's bathroom month, we took a close look at our own. In a bathroom of small proportions with an unattractive, almost-white radiator taking up precious space, we decided that since we couldn't hide it, we may as well focus on it.\n\nUsing simple materials (a can of glossy black spray paint and two large pieces of cardboard to protect the wall and floor), our chipped up, in-the-way necessity became a much more attractive object and heating source. Now the black diamonds on the floor tiles pop and the glossy black makes things seem cleaner than the old \"white.\"\n\nThis small bathroom also has a large side wall, with the impossibility (think knocking your head) of adding functional shelving. We had an old full-length mirror from Target, with no use for it in the bedroom. Since the wall was not only tall, but also unusually wide, we flipped the typically vertical mirror on its side, and a larger, more reflective bathroom was born."

Today I am sharing a layout that I created with the October \"Waverly\" Scrapbook Kit from Citrus Twist Kits that documents a knee injury from when I tripped on a baby gate. Yes, I trip on things pretty routinely, but this was the first time I really hurt myself. My husband warned me pretty frequently not to step over the gate, but I obviously did not listen! Ha ha.\n\nThis fall actually hurt really bad. I tripped on the gate that goes into the garage from the backyard and the garage floor is cement. I have fallen once before (slipped on the kitchen counter) and thought I was going to die, but I was able to get up after a few moments and move on with my day. And in full disclosure, I often trip, fall, and run into things-according to my husband I am a walking danger to all those I am around and I can't entirely deny that! This one though, was different. Instead of getting up and walking it off, the tightness/pain just got worse and when I woke up the next morning I couldn't bend my knee or walk. Pretty pathetic."

The core principles are that construction should be rational, functional, honest and simple in form and should embrace emerging technology.\n\nIn 1933, while Ludwig Mies van der Rohe headed the school, political pressure had caused the closing of the Bauhaus. After World War II many founding members emigrated to the Unites States, where faculty and architects joined prominent U.S. architecture schools. Their goal was to reinvent America\u2019s post-war identity. Among the noted architects and designers who found"

+"Book Review: Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency\n\nKill or Capture provides a fast-moving, highly readable insider account of the formulation and execution of President Obama\u2019s counterterrorism program through early 2012. Klaidman\u2019s access to high-level White House and national security sources is the primary quality of the book. In his book, Klaidman summarizes the effort to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Manhattan, the arrest of the \u201cunderwear bomber,\u201d and the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki and Usama Bin Laden, among others. But readers hoping for a substantive discussion of the merits of these policies will not find it in this volume.\n\nIt is clear that the Administration\u2019s preferred strategy is kill over capture\u2014or at least over capture and detain. If media reports are accurate (always something to question in the area of national security), when President Obama inherited the drone program, it had been used only forty-four times and was restricted to Pakistan. As of July 2012, drones had been used in more than 250 strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Klaidman\u2019s account of the hunt for Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan illustrates that the Administration\u2019s preference for kill over capture is driven"
+"Complete Streets\n\nComplete Streets is an initiative taking place in progressive communities all over the country including right here in Fort Myers and Lee County. Its goal is to retrofit and design streets that are safe, comfortable and accessible to users of all ages and abilities - pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. Streets that are not complete tend to focus only on motorized vehicles. Creating a road network that takes all users into consideration supports a safer, healthier, more inviting and economically viable community for our residents and visitors to enjoy. Complete Streets also helps to protect and preserve our natural resources by reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, adding to the sustainability of the area."
+"For Bill Tolle, winters, not weekends, were made for Michelob. Six years ago the inveterate tinkerer and retired electronics technician devised a solar energy collector which consists of 1,400 empty beer cans. As a result, the oil tank in his four-room home in Hamilton, Ohio has been filled only once in the past four years.\n\nPrompted by the Arab oil embargo and an ad for a solar collector made of aluminum cups, Tolle (pronounced toll), 70, came up with the notion of converting empty beer cans into solar collectors in 1975. He dispatched his retired schoolteacher wife, Dorothy, 66, \"into all these beer joints collecting cans,\" recalls Bill. \"People who didn't know us might have thought we were drinking quite a bit.\" Tolle then cut the 1,400 cans in half, nailed the 2,800 cups to five 4-by-8-foot panels and painted them black for maximum energy absorption. He covered the panels with translucent plastic and propped them up against the house's south side. Underneath this lean-to is a concrete thermal storage bin filled with gravel.\n\nNow, when the temperature in the Tolle house drops below 72\u00b0, a thermostat-triggered furnace blower forces hot air from the collector into the house's heating ducts."

+"Simulation of filling of microfluidic devices using a coarse-grained continuum contact angle model\n\nAuthors: C. Narayanan and D. Lakehal\n\nAffilation: ASCOMP, Switzerland\n\nPages: 493 - 496\n\nKeywords: contact angle, filling, level sets, multiphase\n\nAbstract:We present a new dynamic contact angle model applied to the filling
problem in microfluidic devices. The level-set method is used for
interface capture. Several attempts have been made in the past decades to model contact--line dynamics within the continuum fluid dynamics framework. Generally, ad--hoc models are used where contact angles are prescribed based on front velocities and criteria for advancing and receding scenarios. The model presented in this study is based on the molecular dynamics description of the contact--line, such that it does not require the specification of ad--hoc contact angles. Figure 1 presents a simulation of return to equilibrium of a wetting liquid (initial contact angle: $150^o$,
equilibrium $60^o$.
Bubble entrapment is an common problem in the design of microfluidic devices. Occurrence of these bubbles can be avoided through careful design of the chip geometry, control of the filling process, and selection of material properties (hydrophobic or hydrophilic). Simulation of casting of prepolymers on to a master to create stamps for microcontact processing is shown in Fig. 1. The"
+"Scholarly Journals and the Post-world War Ii Emergence of Rhetoric and Composition\n\n1135658498\n\n9781135658496\n\nDetails about Authoring A Discipline:\n\nAuthoring a Discipline traces the post-World War II emergence of rhetoric and composition as a discipline within departments of English in institutions of higher education in the United States. Goggin brings to light both the evolution of this discipline and many of the key individuals involved in its development. Drawing on archival and oral evidence, this history offers a comprehensive and systematic investigation of scholarly journals, the editors who directed them, and the authors who contributed to them, demonstrating the influence that publications and participants have had in the emergence of rhetoric and composition as an independent field of study.\n\nGoggin considers the complex struggles in which scholars and teachers engaged to stake ground and to construct a professional and disciplinary identity. She identifies major debates and controversies that ignited as the discipline emerged and analyzes how the editors and contributors to the major scholarly journals helped to shape, and in turn were shaped by, the field of rhetoric and composition. She also coins a new term--discipliniographer--to describe those who write the field through authoring and authorizing work, thus creating the"

+"Thursday, December 23, 2010\n\nAmericans and Canadians: Not as religious as we claim?\n\nShankar Vedantam writing for Slate.com looks at some interesting research that suggests that Americans may not be any more actively religious than other industrialized nations; they just claim to be.\n\nThe surveys have been remarkably consistent over the years. Forty percent of Americans tell pollsters they regularly attend religious services. Nearly 90 percent say they believe in God. Yet perhaps half of those believers who claim to attend church actually don't.\n\nThe twist lies in how the questions are asked in polls, which I would think be obvious to those who conduct these things. For example, when asked, \"Do you attend church?\" Americans will say Yes. But when asked \"Where were you on Sunday morning last week,\" many of them will say they were somewhere else besides church.\n\nSo the question is, if certain people don't practice religion, why do they think of themselves as religious? Why is their identity wrapped up in portraying themselves as faithful? Are they worried that others will think less of them if they aren't appropriately pious? Vendatam makes no conclusion, but does offer some valid advice:\n\nFor many Americans, church attendance"

Even Macqueen's Bustard \u2013 which hasn't reached Britain since 1962 \u2013 is remotely plausible, not least because of a Belgian record from 2003 and a Swiss bird in 2008. Tengmalm's Owl is fresh proof that the ultimate of unblockings can happen!\n\nHowever, in this the year 2020, there is a small group of mystical birds that haven't been recorded in Britain for more than a century. All of them are stored in a dusty and long-unopened box, labelled Category B of the BOU's British list: for species that were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once between 1 January 1800 and 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently.\n\nThe recent Tengmalm's Owls on Shetland offer proof"

When the sis and I are both exhausted, dinner always becomes a fruitless discussion, neither of us cares and neither wants to decide what we'll have. Even though I cooked a bit this past weekend, mostly breakfasts for the boyfriend's big birthday weekend, I was itching to get back into my fabulous kitchen. I was going to go for an old faithful, Pesto Chicken (which I promise to post sometime soon, it's really great and easy) but we eat that all the time I felt I should do something different. So to switch it up I decided on Chicken Piccata, something that used to be a standby for me, but I haven't made in awhile. Giada De Laurentiis is one of my top cooks on the Food Network, mostly because she uses such simple and classic Italian flavors. Her Chicken Piccata recipe is great!

It\u2019s testament to the musicianship of the Dirty Three that this doesn\u2019t sound like an oxymoron. Rarely are three musicians so in sync as to be so expressive without using words; arguably peerless as improvisers of instrumental intensity and beauty.\n\nCapturing three musicians of virtuosic ability at the (continued) height of their powers, Toward The Low Sun arrives as a return to form which they never actually lost - only a \u2018return\u2019 in the sense that we\u2019ve had to wait seven long years since we last heard from them on record. Opener \u2018Furnace Skies\u2019 feels the itch of their prolonged absence; rushing out of the speakers in a blast of \u2018we\u2019re back\u2019 intensity; ramshackle drums spending four minutes resisting a fixed pattern, a paranoid, looping guitar run, jabs of melodic flourish from Ellis - in all, a perfect example of the return to instinctual improvisation which the band talked about being at the centre of this album\u2019s creation.\n\nDirty Three have always managed to shine as three individuals working at exceptionally high levels, but"

The first time was for work, to begin a study for the Port Authority, to redesign the transit system in Allegheny County. Most of my days were spent in meetings and doing fieldwork with Port Authority staff, exploring the busways, riding the light rail lines and buses, and watching the buses circle the streets in downtown Pittsburgh. While I was there I managed to squeeze in a dinner with my Aunt Kathi and Uncle Mike, and we had a fun time at Lidia Bastianich\u2019s restaurant in the Strip District.\n\nMy second trip to Pittsburgh was the following week, for Thanksgiving with my family.

+"Dischord Responds To Bootleg Forever 21 Minor Threat T-Shirt\n\nThe clothing line Forever 21, which is known for their cheap, knock-off designer duds sported by the masses of pre-teens and adolescents who swarm to the overstocked stores in search of inexpensive clothing that will make them look cool, might have more in common with us than we thought. The store seems to be a fan of Minor Threat as well, or at least is a fan of the profits they can make from selling shirts sporting the band's logo without permission.\n\nWe might be making a lofty assumption here, but when we saw a Forever 21 branded, Minor Threat shirt posted on You Thought We Wouldn't Notice, we had to guess that the people buying the shirt probably have no idea who Minor Threat even is, and most likely think that the shirt's logo is just some hip-version of those glittery \"Daddy's Lil' Princess\" shirts the store sold just a few years ago.\n\nFor just a mere $14.90 you too can rock a massed produced Minor Threat tee, whose logo is taken from the band's 1983 album Out Of Step, but watch out, because Minor Threat doesn't mess around with"

The more I think about this, the more I realize it could very well be true and I have often wondered what I missed out on.\n\n22 months ago I made a conscious decision. I've always been shy and very reserved, revealing very little of my true self to others. I've always cherished my privacy, guarding and polishing that protective shell, so to speak. I finally realized that what I had been using as protection was acting more as an impenatrable shield. I finally understood that my shyness and reluctance to share most aspects of my personal life with others might have been misconstrued as my being aloof, non-commital, not interested, or just plain snobbish and that is not how I am at all! Knowing that I had to do something about my predicament, I made a promise to myself that I would try to present myself as more approachable and that I would work up the nerve to leave my little comfort zone of familiarity. I challenged myself to explore, try the"

The permittivity of the textile substrate has been accurately characterized, and the Yagi-Uda antenna has been fabricated using an ad hoc manufacturing process. Its performance in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, gain, and efficiency has been studied in free space and on a tissue-equivalent phantom representing the human body. It is shown that the antenna is matched in the 57-64-GHz band. Its measured on-body efficiency and maximum gain equal 48.0% and 11.9 dBi, respectively.

The first is that Stan Lee actually wrote the story that unfolds across issue #15 of (Uncanny X-Men), which is in no way a guarantee despite the byline. Stan Lee famously derived the \u201cMarvel method\u201d of storytelling due to his huge workload, in which he essentially asked his artist to tell some kind of story which he\u2019d then adapt and lace speech over at a later date. With Lee being a huckster and many of his collaborators having passed on, it\u2019s hard to know what he did or didn\u2019t actually create himself, in most cases.\n\nSecondly,"

+"Axel Vervoordt Gallery is delighted to present the work of Ann Veronica Janssens (1956, United Kingdom). The Hong Kong gallery will show five new works of sculptures, each with its own play of colour and light subtly offering a different phenomenological experience.\n\nJanssens work seeks to unbalance perceptive experience, by means of colour and light the artist activates space. The viewer\u2019s gaze is triggered and looking at her work means being a part of it. Janssens isolates sensory experiences. She fragments them, reduces them to their most essential aspects and transforms these into abstract shapes, ephemeral materials, in a play with colour and light. The viewer is thus invited to become more aware of how they perceive space and what can be the impact of the slightest sensual stimulus.\n\nJanssens\u2019 Magic Mirror diffracts the light and projects colour into space. Though the mirror\u2019s main tonality is pink, it is in fact colourless. Seeing colour becomes an active process. Only when the viewer experiences the work, i.e. when one tries to look at themselves in the mirror by moving their own body, different colours appear.\n\nThe three golden geometrical shapes seen are the space\u2019s punctuation, providing a sense of rhythm.

While this may seem like an innocent question the real answer is much more haunting:\n\nThe sad reality is that the majority of old electronics used in developed countries end up being shipped to developing parts of the world, ~50 million metric tons to be exact. Once the old electronics reach these areas, they are burned or put into acid baths to try to remove precious metals, plastics and components.

+"The Washington State house of representatives has passed a gay civil rights bill that bans discrimination in housing, employment, and financial transactions. The bill, which defines sexual orientation as \"heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, and gender expression or identity,\" sailed through the Democratic-controlled house, 59-39, on Monday, but it faces a big hurdle in the Republican-controlled senate. Still, openly gay state representative Ed Murray said he's cautiously optimistic that Washington will become the 14th state with a nondiscrimination law that includes gays and lesbians. Similar legislation has passed the house twice before, most recently in 1994, but died in the senate. Murray and openly gay state representative Joe McDermott were the bill's primary sponsors.\n\n\"This is my best day in the legislature,\" said Murray, 47, a nine-year veteran who chairs the powerful house transportation committee.

The 8 Keys to Veterans\u2019 Success (8 Keys) highlight specific ways that colleges and universities can support veterans as they pursue their education and employment goals.\n\nBackground\n\nThe Obama Administration has made veteran educational success a priority. As such, Executive Order 13607, Establishing Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses, and Other Family Members, calls for agencies to work together to ensure that educational institutions effectively serve those who have served our nation.

+"Author\nTopic: Universal Salvation is a Conscious awareness, that is not based on awareness. (Read 37147 times)\n\nMickiel\n\nAnd like anythingelse, if you have something and are not aware of having it, that is a reduction of awareness, thus a reduction of the reality of having it, thus it really does not add to your reality of having it, if you are not conscious of having it. Because you are not Conscious of having it, does not mean it does not exist in reality, it just means your reality is not based on your consciousness of things, although it may begin with your consciousness of things.\n\nUniversal Salvation can be a deep consciousness on one end of thinking, but yet it can be very shallow on another end of thinking. For example, to one who is temporal and hoping to be eternal, Universal Eternity can be a very enthusiastic thought, but there may be one who is already on the other end of Eternity, already living in Eternity, and to them Universal Salvation has nothing to do with them, they are already in eternity, and they never have or ever will need Salvation from anything. So to them personally, it"

+"Despite orbiting Earth at speeds averaging 17,000 mph, satellites are far from the sleek, aerodynamic spacecraft we see in science fiction films.\n\nOn the contrary, these high-tech environmental observation machines tend to look more like flying refrigerators and phone booths, some the size of small buses\u2014 not exactly an image of speed. The key to their high flying routines is air, or a lack of it.\n\nUp to 80 percent of the resistance a bike rider faces is caused by wind drag on the rider\u2019s body. In space, satellites do not have to contend with as much resistance.\n\nAir resistance, also known as \"drag\", is the resistance created by gases and particles moving around an object as it pushes through air.\n\nImagine riding your bike down a large hill. As you begin to pick up speed you start to feel the wind in your hair and air pushing against your chest. If you lean over the handlebars and tuck your head down, you suddenly begin to go faster, feeling less resistance.\n\nThis is because you are creating a more aerodynamic shape and reducing your aerodynamic profile, allowing you to knife through the thick air like the smooth, rounded edges of"

+"Discourse 26: The Eighth Chapter Concludes \u2013 The Journey of the Soul After Death\n\nThe Eighth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita deals with the subject of life after death. The Puranas, the Upanishads, the Yoga Vasishtha and the Bhagavadgita contain many varieties of descriptions of the condition of the soul after it leaves this body. The Puranas, especially, go into a detailed, lurid description of the condition in which the soul finds itself\u2014particularly if it has not done any merit, or if the merit it has done is so negligible that the wrongs it has committed outweigh the good or are on an equal footing with it.\n\nThe stories in the Garuda Purana and such other scriptures, even in the Bhagavata, are really frightening. When the soul departs from the body in the case of these lower, unpurified and negligibly religious souls, it is taken away by the messengers of Yama and placed before the Lord of Death for judgment.\n\nIt is said that Yama asks the soul, \u201cWhat have you done?\u201d\n\nOrdinarily, it cannot remember anything. It will say, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d\n\nThe shock of separation from the body removes all memory, and it cannot remember what it has done"

Moreover, although we have a deep appreciation for the effectiveness of a combined cut and herbicide regimen, the fewer amounts of chemicals used in nature, the better.

Manual methods employ workers with hand-carried tools, including chain saws, handsaws, pruning shears and other devices to control incompatible vegetation. The advantage of manual techniques is that they are selective and can be used"

+"It is generally accepted that this one of a kind deck was originally published in the early 1600s. If this is correct, it would mean that it is older than any existing Tarot de Marseille (Tarot de Marseille), (the Jean Noblet Tarot is dated to around 1650, and the Jean Dodal to the early 1700s). Of course, the Cary Sheet indicates that, (at least elements of), the Tarot de Marseille style has been around since around 1500. The Tarot de Paris is usually considered the oldest existing deck that still contains all 78 original cards.\n\nThe Tarot de Paris (TdP) follows the numbering of the Tarot de Marseille, and like the Tarot de Marseille has titles and numbers printed on the cards. Some of the cards are clearly related to the Tarot de Marseille, but many have unique designs or are related to other decks. In some ways, the deck reminds me of the Jacques Vieville, it has a crude and wild streak, but sometimes the artwork is incredibly rich and beautiful.

+"Inward remittances continue to be strong: RBI annual report\n\nEven though some slowdown in remittances by non-resident Indians (NRIs) could be experienced in the near-term, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stated that available information indicated inward remittances to India had not been impacted significantly by the global economic crisis.\n\n\u201cThis could be attributed to a number of factors such as depreciation of the rupee, hike in interest rate ceilings on NRI deposits since September 2008 and uncertainties in oil-prices, which might have induced the workers to remit their money to India as a hedging mechanism due to its relatively better growth prospects,\u201d RBI stated in its annual report 2008-09, which was released on Thursday. According to the World Bank estimates, India received significantly higher remittances to the tune of $52 billion in 2008 compared with $38.7 billion in 2007.\n\nAccording to an earlier study by the RBI, region-wise, North America accounts for nearly 44 per cent of the total remittances to India, followed by the Middle East (24 per cent) and Europe (13 per cent).

+"TV tonight: 'Sleepy Hollow,' 'Klondike,' 'Mom'\n\nUSA TODAY's Robert Bianco previews January 20th's TV lineup from the Critic's Corner, with the season one finale of 'Sleepy Hollow', Discovery Channel's first scripted movie 'Klondike', and a new episode from CBS's 'Mom'.\nVPC\n\nWhat's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time on Monday.\n\nSo here's the downside of the network's growing adoption of the cable short-season model: Sleepy Hollow is vanishing tonight, after just 13 outings. That's probably good for the show creatively, but it will be tough on fans of this steadily improving drama. The two-hour finale finds Ichabod and Abbie (the well-teamed Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie) discovering a secret in George Washington's bible that shifts the show's battle between good and demonic evil. Don't worry, the battle will go on: Hollow will be back next season.\n\nDiscovery makes a propitious first step into the scripted-TV arena with this three-night miniseries, a rousing, old-fashioned adventure set against the 1897 Alaskan gold rush. There isn't much new in this northern Western, but the scenery is lovely, the acting is solid, and the mix of characters is just what you'd expect from the genre, from the young hero (Richard"

+"Lymphomas after organ transplantation\n\nTranscription\n\n1 Produced Revision due Lymphomas after organ transplantation People who have undergone an organ transplant are more at risk of developing lymphoma known as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). This generally occurs as a result of the effects of immunosuppressive drugs used in the prevention of the rejection of the new organ. In this article we will: discuss how common PTLD is explore why lymphomas arise in post-transplant patients explain the treatment choices available. For the patient who has spent years waiting for the transplant that he or she hopes will transform their life for the better, the development of a lymphoma soon afterwards can seem a devastating complication. However, now that much more is known about the underlying reasons behind these lymphomas, treatment is more likely to be successful. How common is PTLD? After an organ transplant, patients with weakened immune systems can develop PTLD. This occurs when a group of white blood cells called B cells grows out of control. This disorder is seen in about 1% to10% of transplant recipients overall, but varies considerably according to the type of transplant. It is least common in donor bone marrow and stem cell transplants, where"

I was intrigued by the premise, but given who the main characters were (a wounded male rocker and a female FBI agent), I figured a romance was going to be central, and many stories that center around romances don't work for me. Well, the romance wasn't really central, and it was handled very naturally. The book as a whole was more than just a good read. It blew me away.\n\nI did have a few small quibbles, so let me get those out of the way now. One or two things were set up but never referred to again. For instance, near the beginning Dante is summoned to appear before another New Orleans vampire, but that vampire never resurfaces. And on the level of story and believability, at two different points two different characters (both important to the story) escape death when I was fairly sure they wouldn't have been left alive. In one case the character who survives wonders why she wasn't"

At its most basic, good governance describes all the things governments do in order to allow development to happen. In this sense, good governance is about having national institutions that can make fair and appropriate decisions about how a country is governed, and effective systems in place to deliver public services.\n\nPowerful international institutions (such as the World Bank) and donor agencies found the idea of good governance highly attractive, and tied much aid spending to good governance conditionalities. However, others have pointed out that \u2018good\u2019 governance is a relative term and the ideas contained within the checklists and prescriptions are aspirational and often unrealistic when government institutions are weak and poorly resourced. The relationship between good governance and development (defined as either economic growth or poverty reduction) is also not clear.

Inexperienced at creating intriguing story lines, they borrowed from the Old Testament tale of Jacob and his 12 sons. Still working on finding a distinctive musical voice to call their own, they simply offered a variety of well-established styles including pop, country Western, reggae, and Broadway razzle dazzle. Not yet confident at creating dialogue, they don't write any for this musical.\n\nYet, this is one of the most produced musicals in history.

The air purifier creates neutral ambient air that attracts positively and negatively charged airborne impurities, draws them into the unit with a fan, and destroys them with a mixture of water and an organic enzyme. Similar to yogurt cultures, the enzyme breaks down all carbon bonds to destroy any organic matter, including mold, viruses, and pet dander. Unlike traditional filtration methods that fail to remove pollutants smaller than 0.3 microns, the organic air purifier destroys VOCs--harmful gases emitted by paint, cleaning supplies, and other common household items--bacteria, and allergens that pass through ordinary filters. A test by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute showed that the air purifier reduced the smell of a burning scented candle by 70% in 30 minutes. The fan produces only 12 decibels (half as loud as a whisper) and the filterless design eliminates the need for costly replacement filters. Cleans a 450' sq. room.

This feature is useful when complex applications have many tasks that can be performed at the same time.\n\nWhen an operating system executes an instance of an application, it creates a unit called a process to manage the instance. The process has a thread of execution. This is the series of programming instructions performed by the application code. For example, if a simple application has a single set of instructions that can be performed serially, there is just one execution path or thread through the application. More complex applications may have several tasks that can be performed in tandem, instead of serially. The application can do this by starting separate processes for each task. However, starting a process is a resource-intensive operation. Instead, an application can start separate threads. These are relatively less resource-intensive. Additionally, each thread can be scheduled for execution independently from the other threads associated with a process.\n\nThreads allow complex applications to make more effective use of a CPU, even on computers that have a single CPU. With one CPU, only one thread can execute" +"Rereading The Classics: Lessons Learned The Second Time Around\n\nKevin Smokler is editor of the anthology Bookmark Now:Writing in Unreaderly Times.\n\nJulie Michelle\n\nListen\n\nListening...\n\n/\n\nOriginally published on January 18, 2013 2:24 pm\n\nWriter Kevin Smokler spent a good majority of 2012 rereading the books he was assigned back in his high school English classes.

Their debut was released on a small French label and gave the band some national attention including a television appearance on \"\u00c7a part en live\". The Laser\u2019s Edge is committed to expand CloverSeeds fanbase to a worldwide level.\n\nCloverSeeds music is a rollercoaster ride of pure emotion filled with melancholy and dark atmospheres augmented with guitar driven heaviness. The album was recorded in Germany at Spacelab Studios under the direction of Everon\u2019s Christian Moschius. The resulting album is an audiophile spectacular polished to perfection by Grammy winning mastering engineer Bob Katz." +"I would recommend IKEA to anyone, all of my living room furniture is from there.

By developing expertise on global warming issues and providing knowledge and information to decision-makers and the public, ENGOs appear to be in an excellent position to influence climate change policy. Their effectiveness depends on how successfully they communicate information. By exploring how ENGO representatives perceive the effectiveness of individual tools used for transmitting information, this research aims to draw conclusions about how virtual and physical tools can be employed to optimize effective information transfer.\n\nResearch was conducted in the months leading up to and including the Conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change/11th Conference of the Parties/1st Meeting of the Parties (UNFCCC/COP-11/MOP-1), held in Montreal, Quebec November 28-December 9, 2005.

Only a few collecting societies do offer that. Actually, CC users are kept out of the market, simply because individual contracts don't allow for airplay. This fact, and a vacuum of knowledge about CC leads to a situation where artists using CC can hardly make a living from it.\n\nIt's about time to change that and to fill the niche between Creative Commons with no definition of commercial use, and commercial use that does not allow for true control of the creator. It's urgently required for artists to have a true artist-friendly collecting society.\n\nOne that is transparent, flexible, and shaped by the artists themselves. One that embraces today's technology for the benefit of 1-on-1 billing - no statistically based distribution key required anymore.\n\nActually, this might globally change the way of licensing.\n\nAdditional Supporting Materials\n\nQuestions\n\nWhat's the problem with Creative Commons and collecting societies in Europe?

A key idea in the analysis is\nthat winter temperatures are intrinsically more variable, and this property\nmust be accounted for when judging the unusualness of excursions of daily\nmean temperatures from a smooth climatic mean function. Accordingly the\ndaily mean temperature departures are expressed non-dimensionally by\ndividing by appropriate standard deviations that vary through the year.\nThe warm excursion in observed records for late January is not always the\nmost extreme such excursion in the non-dimensionalized data, even when the\ndefinition of \"excursion\" is optimized to emphasize the late January event.\nHypothesis tests based on time-series models with smoothly varying\nclimatologies (i.e., with no anomalous features such as the January thaw,\nby construction) are used to evaluate the statistical significance of the\nobserved January thaws.

As they play, others are inspired to prophesy and release the revelation of God out of their lives!\n\n\u201cThe prophetic musician sees further than the task of music, because it is a ministry requiring knowledge beyond the physical task of playing notes in the right order.

Perhaps motivated by calls for change from the Canucks faithful or by Crawford's new line combinations or simply by playing someone outside their division, the team put together a scrappy effort against a scrappy Nashville team that now sits second in the Western Conference. With the win, the Canucks regained first place in the Northwest Division and third place in the West.\n\nThe Canucks actually got off to a horrible start. Alex Auld let in Darcy Hordichuk's shot from just past the blue line only 38 seconds into the game. Nashville then took a 2-0 lead on Marek Zidlicky's powerplay goal at the nine minute mark of the first period.\n\nI thought Alex Auld looked shaky for the first 40 minutes of the game and stellar for the last 20 minutes.

This is the chief reason why a once irrelevant game, has expanded in acceptance so quickly.\n\nOmaha hi/lo begins just like a regular game of Omaha. 4 cards are handed out to every player. A sequence of betting ensues where gamblers can wager, check, or fold. 3 cards are dealt out, this is known as the flop. A further sequence of wagering ensues. After all the gamblers have in turn called or folded, a further card is flipped on the turn. Another sequence of betting happens at which point the river card is flipped. The entrants must attempt to put together the strongest high and low five card hands based on the board and hole cards.\n\nThis is where a number of entrants get flustered. Contrasted to Texas Hold \u2018Em, where the board can make up every player\u2019s hand, in Omaha Hi-Lo the player has to utilize precisely 3 cards from the" +"Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe Hands-on Review: It\u2019s all about the prestige\n\nAsus ZenBook 3 Deluxe hands-on review: Asus lifted the lid on its most premium 2017 laptop, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe, back at CES in January and now, finally it\u2019s hitting the market. We went hands-on with the machine at Computex 2017.\n\nAsus ZenBook 3 Deluxe: Hands-on review:\n\nAs its name suggests, the new ZenBook 3 Deluxe is an iterative improvement on last year\u2019s vanilla ZenBook 3. It offers similar hardware like the same set of 7th generation Intel i5 and i7 processors, the same memory options and the same graphical oomph. Its standout features are a revised design, a new I/O configuration, more and faster storage options and a more reliable power setup, all designed to iron out the biggest weaknesses of the standard model.\n\nAsus says that the Deluxe is the most \u2018prestigious\u2019 laptop in the world, but to actually define such an ambiguous claim is easier said than done. What we can say is that Asus is offering up an attractive looking machine with a 14-inch Full HD display protected by Gorilla Glass 5 that\u2019s able to squeeze into what\u2019s effectively a 13-inch laptop chassis, boasting narrow" +"Staff was so friendly and even brought my friend a cake because it was her birthday!!!

Women, for hundreds of years to pursue beauty have undertaken dangerous procedures such as foot binding, plastic surgeries, and wearing corsets to pursue beauty according to their cultural standards. These more or less extreme torturous procedure that women go through to feel better about appearance, were chosen without considering their harmful effects on their health. People make changes to their bodies because they want to achieve the idea of perfection that is shown by the media. The trend in the appearance of female breasts in Europe in the 14th century was having a flat torso, where breasts were hidden and tightly bound. Throughout history, there were many procedures done by doctors to change a shape and size of female breasts. At the beginning of the 20th century, cosmetic surgery experimented with a method of inserting a brained silk, particles of celluloid, vegetable ivory, and other foreign materials into a woman\u2019s chest.

This model, played by Chuck Berry, jazz guitarist Grant Green, and a number of 1960s rock and roll groups, is most closely identified with B.B. King. A special feature of this guitar is the Vari-tone circuit which, in the highest position, gives the instrument its distinct nasal sound. The ES-355's standard vibrato system, made by Bigsby, allows for the rapid raising and lowering of the pitch of the strings, known as the tremolo effect.\n\nThe Ultratone model lap-steel guitar, introduced in 1947, was designed with bright colors and geometric lines to create a \"modern\" package.

Brilliant, right? Harness unused CPU cycles from desktops around the world to solve a hard problem broken into bits. But we didn't find aliens. Or if we did, no one told us. And we probably sucked more electricity out of the wall causing global warming which may have increased our need for an alien lifeline. But that's not the point.\n\nThere's another company who's business is founded on applying the exact same principle. Google.

Some have impressed me immensely, some of the others like Welkin haven't left quite as good of an impression on me. I don't want to take away from the band as musicians, they are all talented. Even the vocalist Demis Holvoet is a good frontman, it's just the band doesn't have a ton of originality. To make it worse, Welkin play deathcore which is a style of metal that just doesn't interest me. Sure there are some elements of death metal in this style of music, but there aren't enough to overshadow the shitty metalcore influences. \"The Origin\" just sounds like a million other albums that bands like Job for a Cowboy or Divine Heresy have released to me.

Famous and much-loved celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Heath Ledger have been the victims of such unfortunate circumstances. While many deaths may be due to misuse of illegal substances, these drugs are not always illicit - and an overdose may not always be intentional.\n\nDrug Interactions Can Be Deadly\n\nDeath due to drugs can also be the result of mixing prescribed medications with other drugs (legal or illegal), alcohol, over-the-counter medications or even herbal supplements. Drug-drug interactions may also play a role in drug-related deaths. For example, the consumption of multiple central nervous system depressants, such as opioid pain killers, sedatives, hypnotics, or alcohol may lead to an unintentional overdose due to severely depressed breathing.\n\nMixing illicit, prescription or over-the-counter medications can be dangerous, and patients should always rule out drug interactions with their healthcare provider. The use of prescription medications with illegal drugs or alcohol can produce an unpredictable and fatal response, and many deaths due to such circumstances may have been preventable.\n\nThe following table outlines" +"Review highlights\n\nGood to know\n\nNearby\n\nAbout\n\nEilandje district hotel overlooking Antwerp Marina with free WiFi and breakfast included Located just off the N1 trunk road in the Eilandje district Holiday Inn Express\u00ae Antwerp City-North hotel is a 10-minute drive from the city centre and short walk from a choice of restaurants.

But what if you were thinking about McDonald's for more than a quick bite to eat? Imagine that you had some money to spend and were thinking of investing in a business. Would McDonald's be a smart choice, and how would you know? Is there a data display that could help you to figure this out?\n\nNews You Can Use\n\nInvestors buy stocks of various companies and strive to increase their money by investing in businesses that are profitable.

Tracey LindTrinity Cathedral, ClevelandThe First Sunday of Lent 2007\n\nThis has been one heck of a week for the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. On Monday evening, the Primates (that is, the Presiding Bishops and Archbishops of the thirty-eight provinces or churches of the Anglican Communion), gathering in Tanzania, issued a communiqu\u00e9, which was signed by our Presiding Bishop, requesting that the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops \"make an unequivocal common covenant\" that they will not authorize same-gender blessings within their dioceses and confirm that Resolution B033, passed at the 75th General Convention, means that a candidate for bishop who is living in a same-gender relationship \"shall not receive the necessary consent unless some new consensus on these matters emerges across the Communion.\"1\n\nIn other words, the Primates of the Anglican Communion have said explicitly that the church should not officially bless the relationships of gay and lesbian people, and that gay and lesbian clergy living in same-gender relationships should not become bishops until there is a new communion-wide consensus on this issue. They expect a response from the House" +"How To Survive A Layoff {Survival Tip Tuesday}\n\nMany of you might remember my post last year about Ryan losing his job.

In this memoir, author June Fulton Ellis recounts the story of her youth, the story of a girl raised on a farm in Greene County in the southwest part of Missouri near the Ozarks. Born in 1925, June was the oldest of seven children of Lloyd and Emma Fulton. Shut the Door, Youre Lettin in the Flies! provides a vivid account of her parents, siblings, childhood, adolescence, and life on the farm. She remembers her mother as a nurturing woman who taught her the necessary skills to survive on the farm and in lifefrom gardening to cooking and plucking chickens. She describes her father as a funny man who cared for his large family. Each family member contributed to the health and well-being of the whole family, with knowledge passed to them through no-nonsense rules and the warm embraces of a loving mother and father. From everyday life to church life to school life, Shut the Door, Youre Lettin in the Flies! presents a reflection of the innocent times of the 1920s and 30s." +"Almost all of the information in the Assessor\u2019s Office is public record.

I have such an excellent crop of wild burdock annually that I am considering to stop fighting it and start growing it commercially. Any suggestions?\n\nA real novice.\n\nSounds to me like The Lord is trying to suggest something to you. Burdock is one of the 50 top selling roots crops in the world, most as a vegetable.

I wrote the following almost four years ago.\n\nNow you need to determine which Burdock has infested your property. Greater Burdock (Arctium lappa L.) is the primary root harvested for the dried herb trade. Common Burdock, (Arctium minus Bernh.), is primarily marketed as an Asian vegetable.

Greater Burdock is usually harvested as a clean-up project, and usually not cultivated.\n\nFirst-year root from Common Burdock is best harvest in the early spring for the" +"Understanding Masculinity with Rachel Giese and Daemon Fairless\n\nBy Ken Gracie\n\nIt is an interesting time to be a man in our culture. While many ideas about masculinity have been challenged and undermined, too little effort has been invested (by men, first and foremost) in fostering healthy aspects of maleness and reimagining unhealthy ones. The contemporary understanding of gender has generated a great deal of angst and a host of questions for men and boys. It was, therefore, with a mixture of keen interest and mild trepidation that I attended the event Man Up: Understanding Masculinity on Sunday afternoon at Christ Church Cathedral. What would be said, and in what tone?\n\nAdrian Harewood of CBC Ottawa hosted the event and opened by speaking of a contemporary reckoning for negative aspects of masculinity via his own past admiration for Bill Cosby, then invited his guests to read from their respective books. Rachel Giese spoke of the so-called \u201cman box,\u201d shorthand for masculinity defined in terms of seven commonly-accepted characteristics, and how many men are reclaiming such \u201cmasculine markers\u201d as a response to an uncertain cultural landscape around maleness.

Their remotes? Not so much.\n\nIt's not that they're bad- just that manufacturers' need to accommodate front shifters invariably leads to compromise. The result is levers that sit out of reach, force the hand to unwrap from the bar, and ask the thumb to move in strange ways.\n\nThe ReMount product line addresses these issues by turning most cable-actuated dropper remotes on their side. When used with one-by cockpits, this moves the remote lever from inboard of the brake lever to roughly where a front shifter's thumb paddle would normally sit. The ReMount's generous 30mm length and offset clamp allow you to find a remote position that keeps more of your hand on the bar and more of your mind on the trail.\n\nCompatibility:\n\nGeneral:\n\nThe ReMount is designed to work with cable-actuated dropper and shock remotes with pivots parallel to the handlebar centre.\n\nWe do not recommend the ReMount for RockShox Reverb remotes.\n\nWe do not recommend the ReMount for multi-chainring drivetrains (it sits where your front shifter does)" +"Welcome To Water Buffalo Inc.\n\nWater Buffalo is the most diversified water trucking\ncompany in the Pacific Northwest.

(The Birmingham News file)\n\nBIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- A state law that took effect this month will forbid young athletes from playing if a concussion is suspected and could change the culture when it comes to brain injury, a pediatric rehabilitation doctor said Tuesday at a workshop for school nurses.\n\nThe law, which Gov. Robert Bentley signed June 9, requires parents and coaches to learn about the dangers of concussions and doesn't allow any youngster who might be concussed to play until he or she has received permission from a doctor. It applies to a range of athletic programs, from high school football to Little League to peewee soccer programs.\n\n\"Part of the main reason for this is to raise this on all our radar,\" said Drew Davis, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a pediatric rehabilitation physician who practices at Children's of Alabama.\n\nTHE NEW LAW\n\u0095 Requires each sports or recreational organization to create a concussion and head injury information sheet that athletes and parents" +"Prelude to a Secure Enterprise\n\nIntrusion detection systems have come a long way since their humble beginnings in the mid-1990s. A new player on open source IDS scene offers the potential to be an enterprise-class gatekeeper that could become a security administrator's new best friend.\n\nIntrusion detection systems (IDS) have come a long way since their humble beginnings in the mid-1990s. While much of the Open Source environment has taken to Snort, a new player may be coming into focus that will change the way that IDSes work.\n\nOne of the primary criticisms against IDSes is that they tend to be unique to their environment. They are either exclusively network-based or host-based. Rarely do we see both in the form of a Hybrid IDS. Prelude IDS, released in 2002/2003, is the first Open Source Hybrid IDS.\n\nRather than simply create another NIDS (network-based intrusion detection system), the creators of the Prelude project felt that an IDS that pays attention to system activity as well as network activity would offer better results to administrators over larger networks. And certainly, it makes for ease of control when there is a single console to manage various IDS sensors.\n\nThe basics behind the Prelude" +"Your browser is no longer supportedFreeads no longer supports your internet browser and certain functions may not work correctly as a result so if you are able to, please install or update one of the following browsers:\n\nneed gone this week i have for sale a samsung 46\" smart tv full hd perfect working order has 3 hdmi and 2 usb remote control built in freeview looking for \u00a3375 ovno for it as its only about a year old no need for that size of tv in bedroom so selling model number ue46f5300ak call or text only dave NO TIMEWASTERS...

Sure there were loyal fans of the franchise who felt the reboot was not only unnecessary, but cheapened the franchise, but for the rest of us DmC was an incredible amount of hack and slash fun. Now the game has been re-released onto the next generation of gaming consoles as the DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition and comes with not only the base game, but the equally exciting Vergil\u2019s Downfall chapter that was previously a DLC exclusive. However the question still remains; is DmC Definitive edition worth a purchase, or are you fine with your 2012 copy of the game?

If you\u2019re not using a child theme, any changes you make to a WordPress theme\u2019s template files (found at Appearance > Editor on your WordPress Dashboard) will be lost when you update your theme.\n\nIt\u2019s important to keep your WordPress theme up to date, because theme updates often fix security vulnerabilities and known errors in the theme\u2019s code. You could reinsert your custom code manually after every update, of course, but installing a child theme gives you the freedom to make changes to your theme that won\u2019t be affected by updates to the parent theme. It\u2019s a WordPress best practice, and one you should definitely be aware of, whether you\u2019re a WordPress developer or just an enthusiastic user.\n\nMany premium themes come with a child theme ready to install, which you can set as your theme after installing the main theme\u2019s files. However, if your theme doesn\u2019t come with a premade child, you\u2019ll have to make one yourself.
