{"text": "Bitter Cold in the Deep South...I know...I've said it before. I did not expect the Deep South to have cold, really cold, weather, even in the winter. But on this New Year's Day, 2018, the temperature outside is only 14 degrees with a low tonight of 12 degrees. My furnace in my 112 year-old house is losing ground, even with the thermostat set to 67 degrees, it lost degrees, and it's down to 59 degrees in the house.\nReally, I'm not complaining, especially when compared to places in the US that are -40 degrees below zero. Not only that, despite the cold, the sun will shine today, and if the girls are smart, they'll be able to sun themselves in the south-facing windows. I brought them from New Mexico when they were barely weaned and I think they probably have little memory of their lives in the warmer desert. They love the greenery, the wet days, and Mae likes to play in water and they both think nothing of standing in a puddle outside if it means studying something nearby. So cold or not, they'll adapt to the few days of very cold weather.\nCliff and I have been invited to a New Year's Day lunch at a friend's house. Rebecca has invited other people we know and we're taking cole slaw. I'm looking forward to the visit over lunch.\nAnyway, Happy New Year to my readers. I trust that 2018 will be better politically for those of us who are not part of the extreme right wing in politics. I'll not go any further than that, except to say that I'll be glad to see the back of Governor Bryant, here in Mississippi. The people I've met here belie the extreme right wing GOP that currently runs the state, and despite that Mississippi is known for the religiosity of its people (everyone goes to church, it seems) I don't feel the pressure to declare either my religion (none) or attend church (ever). And on this first day of the new year? I'm only looking forward to a \"warmer than usual\" winter that we've been promised. I can't think much beyond that.\nIf anything, a new year inspires me to look forward to doing things, committing myself to continue my writing, meeting more people, and just maybe kick-starting my editing a bit more than it has been lately. I currently have a nice editorial evaluation job from a long-time friend; but beyond that I need more prospects.\nIf you've been putting off readying that manuscript of the great American novel or have a suspenseful mystery story tucked away in a drawer, now is the time to bring it out. Take a look at my editing web site: Two Brothers Press or my writing/editing blog. Contact me directly at my email address.\nFreelance Writing of interest. In this article I talk about how editors should handle \"disturbed\" writers and how writers should handle editors with a god complex—all to the good, however, and not quite as bleak as you might think. Writing is a solitary business, unless you're like nineteenth-century writers who liked to sit for hours in a Parisian coffee shop and declare to anyone who would listen on your novel that you've been working on for ten years. Ten years is far too long, unless your novel is massive and nearing perfection!\nWow I got off on a tear on writing, but I'm inspired as I indicated because it's a new year."}

{"text": "Last week I talked about mole salamanders and the ponds they live in. It’s not just mole salamanders using those ponds, though! Today, I thought the ponds themselves needed a post. Mole salamanders, and many other amphibians, tend to breed in what are known as ephemeral ponds, or vernal pools. Whatever you call them, they are just low spots that fill with water at certain times of year, but their temporary nature is what defines them, and what makes them an essential wildlife habitat.\nEven though the rainiest season in most of the South is summer, the ponds usually hold water in winter, after the late fall rains. There may be more rain in summer, but it is promptly sucked up by tree roots or evaporated in the heat. In winter, the trees are dormant and the air is cooler, so water is left to saturate the ground and pool in the hollows.\nHow long the ponds will hold water is an important factor for wildlife. Some of the shallow pools dry in a matter of days. Others have at least a puddle at the deepest point for most of the year. In drought years, almost none of them will have any water at all.\nWhen they do fill, they’re very popular with amphibians. Although many (not all) amphibians live on land at some point in their lives, almost all of them have to lay their eggs in water, or at least damp places. Their eggs don’t have shells like birds and reptiles; they’re surrounded by a clear gel and will dry out if not kept moist.\nA larger, more reliable source of water would be great, except that large, reliable sources of water have fish, which would eat the eggs and larvae before they had a chance to mature. A lot of amphibians and insects gamble on the weather rather than the fish. As soon as the ponds start holding water, you can hear the constant chirping of chorus frogs. In a month, you can dip a net in the water and come up with three species of tadpoles, several dragonfly nymphs, many salamander larvae, and maybe a tiny mud turtle. I’ve done a lot of that.\nMy surveys in winter were centered around ephemeral ponds. I was looking for the flatwoods salamander, and although I never found any, the methods I used caught a lot of other small animals. I set up traps around the outside of the ponds, to catch adults moving to and from the ponds during breeding season. I also used a net in the water, moving back and forth, scooping up water and mud and dead leaves and a million dragonfly larvae, but also tadpoles and salamander larvae and aquatic salamanders and newts.\nIf you’re an amphibian who needs these pools to reproduce, a “live fast and die young” approach is not going to work; what if your one year of life is a drought year? You’re better served by a long lifespan spent mostly lurking underground. For example, the eastern newt lives over 12 years on average. That’s long enough to get away with a few unsuccessful breeding seasons. Still, if the dry winters continue long enough, populations decline. That was a concern when I worked in the Florida panhandle; the winters had been drier than average for most of the past decade.\nThere were two years when my pond spreadsheets had a column filled with DRY, DRY, DRY, and all I could do was mend nets and enter data and wait for rain. I set the traps on days when the forecast called for rain in the evening. My standards for a good trapping night started off fairly high in October. By March, the merest hint of a cloud was enough reason to go set traps. Even on dry nights nights I’d usually catch something. A few frogs or salamanders. Maybe a lizard or two. Occasionally a pigmy rattlesnake. Once an amphiuma — a meter-long, eel-like salamander. It was so slippery I could barely get it from the trap into a bucket and then back into the water, let alone take a decent photo.\nIf you want to see a lot of wildlife in a short time, just go walk in a flat-ish stretch of woods in the fall or early spring. Look for pools of water in depressions on the ground. In fact, you probably won’t have to search with your eyes. Just follow the frog calls.\n7 thoughts on “Ephemeral Ponds”\nI have heard about ephemeral ponds but never knew that they had such rich biodiversity. Thank you so much for the information.\nSandeept\nLikeLiked by 1 person\nYou’re welcome. Thanks for the nice comment!\nThank you for this post. On holidays in the English Lake District I’d wondered why frogs laid eggs in unreliable seasonal puddles, in preference to sizeable lakes. I hadn’t thought about the egg eating fish!

{"text": "Despite some claims to the contrary, carpet remains a healthy choice for flooring for everyone in the family. Pictured is Shaw’s Tuftex of California’s new Friendly Old Bear carpet style from the Winnie the Pooh Collection. The new carpet style is part of a non-character based carpet line launched with Disney Consumer Products. The wall-to-wall styles include pattern and cut/loop cable and shag constructions.\nI can’t imagine a world without carpet. Carpet improves the acoustics in my home, so I never miss a spoken word. It’s soft, so I can go a round or two with my son who likes to show me the latest wrestling move he’s learned on the school team. It’s beautiful, comfortable, safe, healthy – and, unfortunately, losing market share.\nThe slowdown in the carpet category is not about style or quality. This is an exciting time in carpet design, with talented designers and technological advances creating innovations in color, texture and pattern. Carpet is a better value today than ever before, lasting for many years, as long as the carpet is matched to the proper cushion and end-use, and cleaned regularly and correctly.\nSo, what’s not to like about carpet? In any fashion industry, tastes change and trends come and go. But beyond the inevitable ebb and flow of home fashion trends, carpet is plagued by a persistent myth that it contributes to unhealthy indoor air quality and can act as a trigger for asthma and allergies.\nI visited a website recently that warned consumers, “If you must install carpet, open the windows and don’t allow anyone to enter the room for at least a week.” Even some physicians, consumers and patient groups buy into this supposed link between carpet and asthma and allergies. This is despite scientific evidence that disproves the correlation. Media coverage also contributes to the myth through sensational coverage, or by simply quoting an authority who suggests carpet removal as a way to manage allergy and asthma symptoms.\nOne of the best ways to disprove myths is through science-based facts. A primary mission of the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) is to educate different audiences about carpet’s positive role with respect to indoor air quality. Here are some ways to educate the carpet buyer and Mrs. Consumer.\nLook for the Green LabelBecause people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, it is important to do everything possible to maintain indoor air quality, especially in new and renovation (remodel) construction.\nThe CRI has worked with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), academic institutions and independent laboratories to evaluate carpet’s role in the indoor environment. The results are contained in the Green Label program and the even more rigorous Green Label Plus program.\nThese programs test carpet and identify products with very low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Using scientifically established standards for low-emitting building products, the Green Label Plus program meets the exacting requirements of California’s Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) testing protocol and the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines.\nCarpets meeting the acceptance criteria carry a label indicating compliance. Over the past four years, more than 90 percent of the carpet industry’s production has been accepted into the program.\nIn addition, the scope of the testing and labeling program has been broadened to cover floor covering adhesives and carpet cushions. This extension of the program imposes acceptance limits for adhesives and cushion similar to those set for carpets.\nStudies on Carpet and VOCsStudies have proven that carpet is one of the lowest emitters of VOCs among household products, and the small amount of new carpet off-gassing dissipates within one or two days after carpet is installed.\nInternational consultancy ENVIRON studied potentially adverse effects of VOC emissions from carpet and found “no human health concerns with components of, or emissions from, carpet.” This and other studies have demonstrated that VOC emissions from carpet are typically found in extremely small quantities (parts-per-billion), and the vast majority of these VOCs are short-lived and not harmful at the extremely low levels commonly found. In addition, ENVIRON observed that these low levels are too low to act as triggers for asthma.\nCornell University professors Rodney Dietert and Alan Hedge reviewed emissions data from several studies and concluded that emissions from new carpet were much too low to constitute any significant health risk. Air Quality Sciences has also evaluated carpet emissions and found that VOC emissions decrease following installation and pose no risk to health.\nCarpet Clears the AirStudies have also shown carpet as a safe purchase for those who suffer from allergy and asthma symptoms. It is true that carpet is capable of trapping soil, dust and pet or insect dander – and may trigger allergic reactions in some people. But just because allergens may be present in carpet does not mean that they pose a hazard to human health.\nAn allergen must be inhaled for exposure to occur, and in order to be inhaled it has to be airborne. Careful measurements have shown that allergen particles are relatively heavy and difficult to get into the air, and fall quickly after becoming airborne. Human exposure to household allergens is much more likely to occur from mattresses and furniture than from carpets because normal use places the face very close to these furnishings.\nStudies have shown that carpet acts like a filter, trapping allergens and keeping them out of the breathing zone until they can be removed through proper vacuuming and deep cleaning. So removing allergens from carpet actually contributes to a better indoor environment.\nWell-known toxicologist Mitchell Sauerhoff, Ph.D., DABT, reviewed more than 23 scientific studies from around the world and concluded that carpet does not increase the incidence of asthma or allergies in children or adults.\nIn his paper, entitled, “Carpet, Asthma and Allergies – Myth or Reality,” Dr. Sauerhoff says, “Based on the available science, carpet does not cause asthma or allergies and does not increase the incidence or severity of asthma or allergy symptoms. In fact … multiple studies have reported fewer allergy and asthma symptoms associated with carpet.”\nFor more than 50 years, millions of consumers have enjoyed the benefits of carpet. Billions of square yards of carpet have been installed in the vast majority of United States homes and office buildings, with very few health-related complaints.\nSo, the next time someone comes in your store and asks about carpet, you can confidently state that, based on the weight of evidence available in current scientific research, carpet does not cause asthma; VOC emissions from new carpet do not act as triggers for asthma or allergies; carpet does not increase the incidence or severity of asthma or allergies in children and adults; and, most important, carpet is safe.\nScience shows carpet remains a safe choiceFollowing is a sampling of the studies cited in Dr. Mithchell Sauerhoff’s review of the safety of carpet:\n• A Swedish study documented how, from 1975 to1992, carpet usage in Sweden decreased by 70 percent yet allergy diagnoses increased by 30 percent.\n• Multiple studies found that carpet may even be helpful to people. An 18-nation study of nearly 20,000 people found a statistical relationship between carpeted bedrooms and reduced asthma symptoms and bronchial responsiveness.\n• A 2003 study examined more than 4,000 U.S. elementary students and their parents and found that not only did carpet in classrooms have no effect on student health, but also that carpet in a child’s bedroom was associated with lower rates of asthma medication use and school absenteeism.\n• A 2007 update to a study done by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the World Health Organization states that there is no evidence that replacing carpet with hard surface flooring has a health benefit.\nA downloadable version of Dr. Sauerhoff’s report, “Carpet, Asthma and Allergies – Myth or Reality” is available at"}

{"text": ". second, Part 2 Spring Hill to Franklin and Sword’s thoughts concerning them. I’ll start reading Eric Jacobson’s book 16: Do You Think the Lord Will Be with Us Today?\nHood was extremely angry at daybreak on November 30. He could not believe that the entire Federal Army had moved past his force. Hood called a meeting at the Nathaniel Cheairs house, but no direct record exists of the proceedings. Sword uses the recollections of S. D. Lee to piece together the basics. Apparently Hood blamed Cheatham for the failure to attack, while that General attempted to place the blame on division commanders Brown and Cleburne. The deflection of blame to Cleburne seems especially unfair to me, though from Sword’s description of events Brown played a large role in the failure to get across the Franklin Pike. Hood even confronted Brown later that morning on the march to Franklin and told him to attack the enemy while on a pursuit. Cleburne got wind of Hood’s displeasure of Cleburne’s role in the Spring Hill affair, ironically from Cheatham apparently, the same man who had blamed Cleburne and Brown in the first place. Sword relates that Cleburne apparently felt a gross injustice had been done, and he hoped to call for a court of inquiry after the campaign was over. Hood sent Forrest forward early that morning, and the Corps of Cheatham and Stewart followed soon thereafter. Interestingly, Hood gave Edward Johnson’s Division back to S. D. Lee, who was ordered to rest the two divisions that had just marched north from Columbia, and catch up to the rest of the army later that day. Johnson’s Division may have proved useful in the sort of pursuit Hood had in mind. About half way to Franklin (6 miles) Forrest’s cavalrymen started skirmishing with Emerson Opdycke’s Union Brigade, and Opdycke kept up a leapfrogging rear guard action to within two miles of Franklin. At around 11 A.M., with Forrest’s Cavalry nipping at his heels, the rear guard brigade was ordered to stand their ground.\nThe Federals spent the morning of November 30 marching north to Franklin. The bridges across the Harpeth River at this point had earlier been destroyed, so Schofield and his army were forced to wait until both the road bridge and the railroad bridge were planked using lumber from buildings near the site. As it stood, the Union wagon train would not be able to fully cross the river until evening, so Schofield had his troops dig in by expanding an old set of earthworks south of the town. The main line southeast and south of town was formidable, consisting of earthworks 4 to 5 feet high containing headlogs, and 2 to 3 foot deep ditches on either side. In addition, the Yankees utilized a grove of Osage Orange, chopping the thick, thorny bush-like trees down to create almost impenetrable abatis in addition to the already formidable line. The line was extended from the Harpeth River on the east to the Carter’s Creek Pike to the west, at which point lesser works extended north almost to the Harpeth River on the other side of town. Schofield’s wagon train and Thomas’ orders to hold Hood awhile longer made a decision to stay in Franklin at least until nightfall really the only choice the commanding general had. The Fountain B. Carter house stood on a hill at the center of the line, and Jacob Cox, the highest ranking officer along the defense line, recognized it as the key to the whole position. If these works weren’t already strong enough, Fort Granger stood to the northeast, able to command the southeastern approaches to Cox’s line. James wilson’s cavalry had retreated east of Franklin, and they eventually moved north of the Harpeth under fire from possible Confederate infantry. Schofield seems not to have worried about a possible frontal assault, instead believing that Hood was seeking to repeat his flanking performance from Columbia to Spring Hill by crossing the Harpeth several miles to the east or west of Franklin. The Federals clearly felt safe behind their new earthworks, writes Sword, and they surely did not expect what was to come.\nChapter 17: One Whose Temper Is Less Fortunately Governed\nGeorge D. Wagner’s Division had done the bulk of the fighting at Spring Hill on the Union side, so the commander was greatly upset when he was forced to act as rear guard for the army on the retreat to Franklin. Likewise, Emerson Opdycke was upset with Wagner for keeping his brigade at the tail of the column in line while the other two brigades of the division marched ahead in column. By the time Wagner’s men reached Winstead Hill two miles south of Franklin, they were worn out, especially Opdycke’s boys. Incredibly, Wagner kept Opdycke in line and allowed the other brigades to stack arms and cook their breakfast. Opdycke sent a messenger directly to IV Corps commander David Stanley complaining of this treatment. Since all of the other divisions had reached the Franklin earthworks, Wagner started to move that way as well. However, Schofield and Stanley wanted to at least attempt to follow Thomas’ orders to hold Hood back as long as possible. For this reason, Stanley ordered Wagner back out in front to Winstead Hill. Wagner obeyed orders and moved back to his position, but what he saw there gave him pause. Confederate infantry was advancing on the Columbia Pike and stretched as far as the eye could see. Wagner pulled back to Privet Knob, about a mile north of Winstead Hill and a mile south of the main Federal earthworks. At this point, Emerson Opdycke had had enough. The headstrong brigade commander kept right on marching for the Franklin breastworks, ignoring the commands of Wagner to stay at Privet Knob. After 15 minutes or so of arguing, Wagner gave up and told Opdycke to find a place in reserve. Opdycke (fortuitously for the Union, as it later turned out) found the front line too crowded and formed his brigade about 200 yards north of the Carter farmhouse along the Columbia Pike. Meanwhile, Wagner’s remaining troops dug in just north of Privet Knob in a cotton field, knowing full well they could not stop a Confederate attack.\nStewart’s Corps led the Confederate march to Franklin, but instead of deploying these men in the center, Hood sent them off to the right in plain view of the enemy. This is significant, says Sword, because he believes Hood wanted to “punish” Cheatham, Cleburne, and Brown by forcing them to fight in the toughest spot on the field. He would show them what he expected when he ordered an attack, says the author, “purg[ing] their ranks of their apparent reluctance to fight except when behind breastworks.” In this section of the narrative, Sword also relates that Forrest objected to a frontal assault and proposed an alternative flanking movement. Sam Hood, a descendant of the general, refutes this plan had any merit, saying: addition, over a page is wasted in implying that Hood was out to teach the generals of Cheatham’s Corps a lesson that day, calling Hood’s troop alignment “if not outright punishment…a severe corrective lesson” for these men. He calls it “no accident” that Cheatham (specifically Brown and Cleburne) was to assault the center. In any event, the columns all moved forward around 2:45 P.M. on December 30 to get into position. Just over 20,000 Confederate infantrymen formed on the plain, and many were amazed. They were used to fighting in heavily wooded terrain, and many had never seen an entire field of battle as they could on this day. Brown and Cleburne were to the left and right, respectively, of the Columbia Pike. Bate was off to their left, under orders to try to attack the weaker western side of the breastworks. Stewart’s Corps would attack on the far right, coming in near where the Central Alabama Railroad crossed the Federal trench lines. Forrest’s Cavalry covered both flanks. Sword goes on to cover Cleburne’s actions just before the attack began. At 4:00 P.M., all 20,000 Confederates stepped off to the attack.\nI am beginning to see why a lot of Hood supporters do not like Wiley Sword’s treatment of the campaign. He does seem to unduly attack Hood on certain minor issues, and there seem to be a lot of personal attacks against Hood, many of which seem to be unsubstantiated. I enjoyed Sword’s book the first time I read it. Being from southern Illinois, I don’t necessarily have any kind of personal attachment to John Bell Hood, so I tended to ignore Sword’s comments. Reading with a more informed, more critical eye, however, I find myself agreeing with Sword’s detractors to quite a large extent. It will be very interesting to finish the rest of Sword’s account of Franklin and move onto Jacobson’s book for a different perspective.\nChapter 18: Tell Them To Fight–Fight Like Hell!\nThe Federals in the main Union line had no idea of the avalanche that was waiting south of Privet Hill. Once the entrenchments were dug, most settled down either to eat, sleep, or visit friends in nearby regiments. The enlistments of some regiments had expired, and they were waiting only to get to Nashville to be mustered out. Some of these men were in the advanced line of Wagner’s Division. When one of these men, a sergeant, tried to leave, the shouts of a higher ranking officer made him reluctantly stop and move back into the line. The Confederate lines soon appeared, and Sword writes that many of these men thought this moment to be the most impressive spectacle they had ever seen. The artillery section with Wagner’s men started to fire at the Confederate host, and one of the two Confederate batteries (the others were in the rear with Lee’s Corps) opened on the main Union line. Meanwhile, the Confederates were flanking Wagner on the eastern side of Conrad’s Brigade, beyond his left flank. The divisions of Cleburne and Brown were foremost on the minds of Wagner’s men, however, as they moved forward to attack the Union advanced line frontally.\nGeorge Wagner was in the rear of his position, standing near the main Federal line when the attack started. Colonel Conrad, whose brigade was one of the two holding the advanced line, sent a courier back to plead with Wagner to let the men retreat. Wagner, perhaps drunk according to Sword, would have none of it, telling the courier to tell Conrad to “fight like hell!” Jacob Cox’s staff officers, several of which were nearby, reminded Wagner that he was only to delay Hod, not fight his entire army. However, by this time it was too late.\nStewart’s Corps had outflanked Conrad, but Cleburne’s and Brown’s Divisions caused the advanced Federal line to run precipitously for the rear. These men were literally running for their lives, and Sword says it was every man for himself. Exhausted men were gobbled up by the Confederates in their advance, and many of the Federals surged toward the opening in the main Federal earthworks along the Columbia Pike. This allowed many of the Confederates to get right up to the breastworks without the Federals in the main line being able to fire. Some believed the foolhardy decisions of Wagner had almost cost the Union the battle, and from this reader’s perspective, they were right. Unable to wait any longer, the Federals let loose with musketry and cannon fire, but the Confederates were able to breach the Union earthworks at the Columbia Pike, even swinging around the two guns that had earlier retreated from Wagner’s advanced line.\nThe men of Reilly’s and Strickland’s Brigades held the area just east and west of the Columbia Pike, a 200 yard expanse where Wagner’s men had tried to retreat into the Union lines. This entire section was captured by the Confederates, who despite their success had still taken heavy casualties. The decisive moment of the battle was at hand as Union troops streamed northward into Franklin. Could anyone stop the seemingly irresistible Confederate assault?\nChapter 19: The Pandemonium of Hell Turned Loose\nSword paints a picture of a complacent John Schofield and David Stanley on the afternoon of November 30, 1864. Both men prepared Wood’s Division on the north bank of the Harpeth River. It was to cover the retreat of the army that evening, which was in the freshly dug breastworks south of Franklin. Schofield was so sure that Hood would try to flank him several miles either upstream or downstream from his position, writes Sword, that he didn’t even bother to inspect the fortifications! He believed that any move around his right or left would be held in check by Wilson’s Cavalry for the remaining few hours of daylight to give his column an unbeatable head start back to Nashville that night. Shortly after 4 P.M., Schofield realized his error when Hood’s men pushed their attack. The Federal commander had thought it was simply a demonstration to cover the expected flanking movement. Both Northern leaders soon realized that Hood was gambling (Sword’s word, here I think appropriate) on breaking through the Union lines and trapping the vast majority against the Harpeth River. The downside would be that assaulting the Union earthworks frontally might result in large casualties of his own. Stanley rode to the front and saw the Confederates breaking through. At this critical moment, Opdycke’s Brigade happened to be in the perfect position. Remember from a few chapters back that Opdycke had disobeyed General Wagner’s order to halt out in front of the main Union line. By sheer chance, Opdycke had parked his brigade in reserve at almost the exact spot they were needed, just west of the Columbia Pike and several hundred yards to the rear of the breakthrough. As Federal troops began to swarm away from the front lines, they started passing through Opdycke’s line. He wanted to shift some of his men to the east side of the road to move them out of the way, but when he started this movement, the 73rd Illinois interpreted this to be a charge. They moved forward, and the rest of the brigade followed, pushing for a reserve set of earthworks just to their front. Sword notes the irony in Opdycke’s men not following orders shortly after he had chosen to do the same with Wagner.\nOpdycke’s men at first had almost as much trouble with retreating Federals as they did with the oncoming Confederates. But those retreating Yankees soon moved left and right to allow Opdycke’s men a clear field of fire. Strickland’s Brigade also resisted the Rebel advance a little west of Opdycke’s position, also along the reserve line of earthworks. Sword then describes the hurricane of fire that engulfed the Carter house, its outbuildings, and the surrounding area. Confederate brigades continued to move into this area because it was obvious that a breakthrough had been made. Numerous charges and counter charges took place over the next half hour, when the firing started to finally slacken. Union firepower was beginning to have an effect, and many of the men who had been routed earlier were returning to Opdycke’s and Strickland’s lines. In addition, the Confederates were now facing flanking fire from the east, though they still held 200 yards of the main Union line along the pike. Sword describes the actions of Jacob Cox, the de facto commander of the Yankee battle line, as he tried to create an unbroken line that could drive the Confederates away.\nCox was worried that Strickland’s front could not hold, and as darkness approached, he ordered the 112th Illinois (situated on the far left) to move quickly and restore the main Federal line. As the 112th approached, a hodgepodge force of two thousand Yankees attempted to do just that, but they received murderous fire from other Union regiments in the low visibility, and they fell back to the entrenched line. When the 112th Illinois reached the line, this attempt was repeated, with the same disastrous results, despite the pleas of Captain James A. Sexton, who had led the earlier force forward. As darkness fell, Sword says “stalemate had been reached at the crucial Carter House Hill.\nChapter 20 – Glorified Suicide at the Cotton Gin\nSword next details the assault on Reilly’s Division covering the Union left flank from the Central Alabama Railroad to the Columbia Pike. Loring’s Division was on the far right of the Confederate line, with its flank being supported by Buford’s Cavalry. The brigades of Scott and Featherston were butchered over the course of an hour. They had to contend with Yankee artillery fire from the front and also from Fort Granger to their right over the Harpeth River. But the biggest obstacle was the Osage Orange the Yankees had chopped down in front of their earthworks nearly along the entire length of Reilly’s position. The thick shrub-like trees were almost impossible to move through, and as Loring’s men attempted this difficult task, they were slaughtered by the Yankee infantry just yards away. Loring had faced mainly Stiles’ Union Brigade on the far left of the Yankee line.\nEdward Walthall’s Division was the next Confederate Division in line. The brigade of William A. Quarles soon ran into the same hedge of Osage Orange that had plagued Loring’s men, and they were mowed down in heaps as they tried unsuccessfully to clear the thorny shrubbery away. Quarles soon had his men moving left (west) in support of Shelley’s Brigade, which was just then attempting to drive in the men of Reilly’s Brigade near the strong Union salient guarding the cotton gin. The 104th Ohio of Reilly’s Brigade was posted just to the right of the cotton gin, and their right flank companies could not fire at the Confederates because the men of Wagner’s advanced position were coming in just ahead of the Rebels. Reilly’s Brigade was thus mostly driven back except for the left flank companies of the 104th Ohio, and this gave the Confederates a bit of an opportunity.\nInto the breach stepped Pat Cleburne’s Division, Govan’s and Granbury’s brigades leading the way. On the Union side, several reserve regiments were pushed forward to beat back this thrust. Sword calls this collision “the focal point of the crisis, a crucial point where momentum tottered precariously and the battle might be won or lost.” A large melee then sprang out for a period of about five minutes, says Sword. The Union troops drove Cleburne’s men back, Reilly’s reserves joined by the leftmost portions of Opdycke’s Brigade (discussed in the previous chapter).\nAt this point Sword vividly describes Patrick Cleburne’s death. The general had been trying to get Lowery’s Brigade to come up out of reserve and plunge into the fighting to restore his line. Sword’s goes on to say “perhaps the South’s most brilliant major general, the ‘Stonewall Jackson of the West,’ his ideas scorned by his president and his competence punished by his commanding general, had been required to lead a suicidal frontal attack like some captain of infantry. Was it God’s decreed fate, or simply man’s stupidity?” This is extremely unfair to Hood, in my opinion. Cleburne was a soldier’s soldier, a man who led by example. When his men were on the attack, he was going to be in the thick of the fighting. Men such as Cleburne, like Phil Kearny and Isaac Stevens at Chantilly or Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville for instance, are sometimes going to die in battle. It is the price these men sometimes pay for their ultra aggressive demeanor. Pat Cleburne, no matter the situation during an attack, was going to be in danger of being shot, regardless of how he felt about his commanding officer’s orders to attack. I believe Patrick Cleburne to have been the best Confederate commander in the entire Western Theater, and that he also should have been a Corps commander long before the likes of Benjamin Cheatham However, his death was no more Hood’s fault than Jackson’s death was Lee’s.\nLowery’s Brigade merely caused a violent stalemate as men on either side of the earthworks loaded and simply raised their rifles up to fire them off into the faces of the enemy. The Federals were getting the better of this contest as the last four brigades of A.P. Stewart’s Corps came up from reserve. Cockrell’s Missouri Brigade moved forward, but they too were stopped by the ever-present Osage Orange and the severe Federal fire. The brigade lost 240 of 687 men, says Sword. John Adams’ Brigade of Loring’s Division had managed to move farther west to support this section of the Confederate attack. They were the next to charge after Cockrell’s Missourians. Adams’ men managed to pry a small opening into the Osage, and Adams himself was riddled with bullets as he attempted to leap his horse over the Federal works. However, the result was the same and the general’s brigade had not been able to make any impression on the still holding Yankee line.\nThe last two Confederate brigades to assault the Federal left were Reynolds’ Brigade of Walthall’s Division and Sears’ Brigade of French’s Division. These men joined the remnants of the many other Confederate units that had assaulted the area already. Meanwhile, many of Reilly’s men who had earlier routed were now beginning to return to the front. Sword avers that Sears’ Brigade made one of the “valiant” efforts of the day, but this too proved futile. All that remained was for the Confederates to somehow extricate themselves from the situation with as few casualties as possible, or in the case of many, to simply surrender to avoid being killed. The scene of carnage in this area of the battlefield amazed and sickened many. General George W. Gordon was “psychologically devastated by the fierce enfilade fire.” Bodies lay thick on this portion of the field, and Cheatham believed that if not for the mistake of leaving Wagner’s men out front, the slaughter would have been even greater. The fighting was over on this end of the line. The only hope the Confederates had was a successful conclusion over on the Yankee right flank.\nChapter 21 – Where is the Glory?\nThe civilians of Franklin mostly his in cellars during the battle, attempting as best they could to save themselves from stray bullets and shells. The civilians in the worst danger were the members of Fountain Carter’s family, hiding in the Carter house cellar near the Federal earthworks. As the Carters huddled in the cellar trying to stay safe from harm, one of the Carter sons, Theodrick “Tod” Carter was leading a charge only yards from his family home. Tod went down in a heap after being hit in two places, lying only 525 yards or so away from his birthplace.\nThe Locust Grove on the right, much like the Osage Orange on the left, formed an excellent line of makeshift abatis after the Federal soldiers chopped down some of the branches and in other cases some of the trees. Ruger’s Division was in charge of this portion of the Federal line. During the initial Confederate assault, Strickland’s Brigade had been driven back near the Columbia Pike. Moore’s Brigade was next in line to the right, and the 111th Ohio held the left flank of the brigade. Soon the Confederates were spilling through the gap near the Carter House, but the 111th managed to hold until Union reinforcements began streaming to the front. Gist’s and Carter’s Confederate brigades of John C. Brown’s Division had been attacking along Moore’s front, and as the Union reinforcements arrived, Gist was holding his own, but he could not push further forward. Carter’s Brigade came up in support of Gist, but they were shattered by Federal fire and the survivors could only take shelter with Gist’s men along the Union breastworks. Brown, the division commander, had been told that Bate’s Division would support his left, but they were nowhere to be seen. Brown soon went down with a wound, and the attack in this sector was finished as well. Bate had been delayed, but his division now moved forward to the left of Brown near the Carter Creek Pike, clear of the Locust Grove and the obstruction it formed. Bate, however, unsure whether to follow his orders or to drift to the northeast in support of Brown, attempted to do both with his under strength unit. The men were exposed to flanking fire from their left as they drifted to the northeast. Despite managing to force a regiment of raw recruits to break, Bate’s men were driven off with heavy casualties. The Confederate cavalrymen of Chalmers’ Division simply skirmished at long distance on the far left of the entire Confederate battle line. By the time it was dark, Hood’s attack had failed everywhere. Forrest was left with only William H. Jackson’s Division to try to flank the Yankee lines by heading north of the Harpeth. In this he failed, and the Confederate attack sputtered out except for brief flashes in the darkness. However, Hood was not yet ready to admit defeat. He had one fresh division left to hurl at the Yankee lines.\nChapter 22 – There is No Hell Left in Them–Don’t You Hear Them Praying?\nStephen D. Lee’s Corps began arriving near Hood’s headquarters just as the battle was beginning around 4 P.M. According to Sword, Lee had been instructed to move at a “leisurely” pace to the battlefield to give his men some rest from their hard march the night before. Lee apparently insisted that he would have marched at breakneck speed had he known a battle would be fought. Hood instructed Lee to send Ed Johnson’s Division in to help the Confederate attack around 9 P.M., well after darkness had fallen. Johnson did no better than the divisions before him, losing almost 600 casualties in several minutes. Here Sword only describes the attack of Sharp’s Mississippi Brigade, omitting the trials of the other three for one reason or another. Only by 10:30 P.M. did the firing finally die down. A Federal in the vicinity of Strickland’s Brigade started singing The Battle Cry of Freedom, and other Yankee troops took up the tune.\nThis is one of those instances where Hood can be at least partly justifiably criticized. Although he had no idea what awaited him at Franklin when the army set out that morning, the only way to catch and cut off a fleeing enemy is to push on after them with as much force as you can bring to bear. When it became apparent that most of Lee’s men would not make it to the battlefield before darkness fell, perhaps it would have been better for Hood to call off the attack. Of course hindsight always makes these decisions seem easy. Looking at the battlefield around 3 P.M. through Hood’s eyes, you might see an enemy with his back to a river, who if beaten would be forced to surrender en masse. Hood made a calculated gamble and lost.\nJacob Cox, the Federal commander in charge of the firing line, was certain his men could complete the destruction of Hood’s army the next day, and he sent his brother (one of his aides) to communicate this to General Schofield in person. Many others in the Federal ranks who had seen the destruction wrought on the Rebel ranks agreed. However, Sword writes, Schofield had much earlier made up his mind to retreat. He simply wanted to keep his army intact and reach A. J. Smith’s men of the Army of the Tennessee, then moving up as reinforcements near Nashville. Schofield apparently considered the mauling of Hood’s army a bonus. The Federal commander did the safe thing in this situation, and he can hardly be chided for that after a series of narrow escapes. Schofield ordered the retreat to begin before midnight, with his left wing taking the repaired railroad bridge over the Harpeth, and the right wing moving over the repaired foot bridge, with the center covering the retreat. Sword closes this section by mentioning the ordeal of Colonel Virgil S. Murphey of the 17th Alabama. He had been captured and taken to Schofield’s headquarters. There he engaged in a bit of sparring with an “elderly Federal officer” over the fitness of General Hood for command. The Union officer thought Hood to be a butcher, while Colonel Murphey believed him to be a gallant man and a good leader for the Army of Tennessee. Only later did Murphey learn he had been talking to Schofield himself.\nSchofield began the withdrawal around 11:00 P.M., but their were delays associated with the pullback. Many of the more badly wounded men had to be left behind in the care of a few surgeons, but others had their wounds dressed and were placed in the ambulances for what could only have been an agonizing ride back to Nashville. The Union artillery was pulled back first, but the 20th Ohio Battery had been mauled, and some members of Opdycke’s Brigade helped to remove the artillery pieces from the earthworks and over the river. After this , the men of the left and right wings were to withdraw en echelon, each man leaving after the man to his immediate right. First, a fire broke out in a stable, illuminating the area and causing Schofield to temporarily halt the withdrawal. Once this fire had been put out, the retreat continued. However, in the darkness, three divisions had been assigned to use the foot bridge and only one to use the railroad bridge. Despite all of the delays, Schofield was able to withdraw his army and fire the bridges behind him by 2:00 A.M. on December 1. Wood’s Division had been assigned as the rear guard, and his last troops were on their way to Nashville by 4 A.M.\nHood and his corps commanders held a council of war around midnight to determine their next course of action. Sword paints an unflattering picture of Hood, intimating that he was a crazed man bent on attacking beyond all reason. Hood ordered a general bombardment of the enemy lines for 7 A.M. the next morning, followed by an infantry assault all along the lines at 9 A.M. The artillery rolled into position, but the Confederates could see fires from the bridges and could only conclude that the Yankees had either retreated or taken up a new line north of the Harpeth. In case the latter were true, artillery fire was directed 200 yards to the east of the burning bridge in the distance, thought to be the railroad bridge. The idea was to put some rounds into Ft. Granger on the north bank. However, the railroad bridge had burned out, and the Rebels were really firing on the northeast edge of town, hitting many civilian buildings in the process. By 4:00 A.M., the Confederates had entered Franklin, 10-12 hours later than they had planned and with thousands of casualties. Fountain Carter was told that his son Tod had been severely wounded, so he took three of his daughters and one daughter-in-law to go search for their family member.\nIn this case, I have to agree with Sword. Hood would have been foolish to attack the Federals again at dawn, and in any case I’m not sure how forcefully the already scarred men of Cheatham’s and Stewart’s Corps would have pressed their attacks. Further fighting at Franklin would have been pure folly.\nChapter 23 – The Thunder Drum of War\nSword spends the first part of this chapter describing the scenes of death and destruction the citizens of Franklin awoke to on December 1, 1864. Hospitals were set up and the dead were hastily buried. Sword next moves on to yet another condemnation of Hood. He belittles Hood’s victory speech, which admittedly does seem to be full of distortions. Here is the portion Sword chose to relate:\nThe commanding general congratulates the army upon the success achieved yesterday over our enemy by their heroic and determined courage. The enemy have been sent in disorder and confusion to Nashville, and while we lament the fall of many gallant officers and brave men, we have shown to our countrymen that we can carry any position occupied by our enemy.\nSword says that Hood’s reasons for making the attack at Franklin immediately became a subject of debate. Hood said before the battle that attempting to outflank the enemy in open country would not work, and that if he had a choice between fighting the Yankees at Franklin or Nashville, where even stronger earthworks had been under construction for three years, he would choose Franklin. Sword believes Hood “easily could have outflanked Schofield from Franklin by crossing the Harpeth River at Hughes’s Ford or various other sites. The ability of the Federal army to escape with its wagon train intact would have been seriously in doubt, just as Schofield had foreseen.” The possibility of this option has been brought into doubt by Sam Hood, descendant of the general, and not knowing the particulars well enough myself, I do not feel qualified enough to weigh in on this particular area. Perhaps some better educated readers might be able to give me some opinions on the feasibility of a flanking movement versus a frontal assault. Could Hood have captured some or all of Schofield’s wagons with a flank march, or did he simply have too many miles to cover?\nThe next part of the chapter is an utter condemnation of Hood’s generalship. Among other things, Sword accuses the man of reacting to “an emotional reflex, rooted in his obsession to ‘prevent the enemy from escaping.'” Sword goes on to blame “Hood’s physical disability and a draining exhaustion of his mind and spirit.” Sword mentions S.D. Lee’s belief that the battle of Franklin was brought about by the failure to bag Schofield’s army at Spring Hill. Lee believed also (at least he wrote after the war) that Hood’s physical disabilities made him unfit for command. The author says Hood was thinking in terms of Gaines’ Mill, where a bayonet charge by his Texas Brigade won the day, and says that Hood saw failings as a “want of physical and moral courage” and “he lacked the competence and ability to learn from his mistakes.” Lastly, and most damaging, Sword refers to Hood as “a fool with a license to kill his own men.” These are all serious charges, and seem to me to be more than a bit harsh. Hood to me was promoted above his level of competence, but this applies to many men on either side. Butler, Sigel, Pope, Burnside, Bragg, Henry Wise, and numerous other men fit this description. In addition, the charge at Franklin is by no means the only instance of a slaughter in front of breastworks. Battles such as Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, numerous battles around Petersburg, Kennesaw Mountain, Pickett’s Mill, and others all fit this description, with some of the best generals in the war (Grant, Lee, and Sherman) being responsible for some of them. Again, I believe that hindsight can make decisions seem awfully simple in retrospect when at the time the decision was made, circumstances were not nearly as clear. What if Hood had broken through at Franklin? Many of the Federals would have had no choice but to surrender or risk drowning in an icy swim across the Harpeth.\nSword describes the recovery of Cleburne’s body and his burial, along with several other men killed in the battle. Cleburne and the others were buried at St. John’s Chapel in Columbia, Tennessee, where only a week before Cleburne had remarked, “it would not be hard to die if one could be buried in such a beautiful site.” Much sooner than he or the others who heard him could have believed, the Irishman got his wish.\nHood’s pursuit of Schofield was a long time in developing. Forrest’s men went after the Yankee rear guard, but by the time they got to Brentwood Schofield was already safe at Nashville. Lee’s Corps was to lead the infantry pursuit, and he did not cross his men over the Harpeth until 1 P.M. on December 1. Stewart’s Corps followed later that afternoon, but Cheatham’s badly shot up men remained until December 2. Sword says the press picked up on the story almost immediately, but that the reports were highly inaccurate. He blames this shoddy coverage as one of the main reasons Franklin is not more well-known today. He stresses that many of the men who participated believed it to be the hardest fought battle they had ever been in, and many believed it would go down as the greatest story of the Civil War. However, many other events were happening at this time, among them Sherman’s March, the tightening of the noose around Petersburg, and then upcoming “siege” of Nashville. In addition, the Confederates held the field, so Northern reporters were left to their own devices as far as the procession of events goes. Franklin was destined to become an obscure event overshadowed by other things.\nSword next concentrates on a flood of negative testimony from the men in the ranks concerning the handling of the battle. I agree that to have seen the battlefield on the morning of December 1 would have demoralized these men greatly, but I suspect Sword may have been selective in his choice of reminiscences for the purpose of further discrediting Hood. This is just a suspicion based on what I know of others’ criticisms of Sword’s book. Hood’s Army had lost around 7,000 men out of a total infantry force of 23,000. Schofield, in comparison, lost around 1,400 men out of a total of 22,000 men engaged. Southern soldiers involved in the fighting liked to compare “Hood’s Assault” to “Pickett’s Charge” at Gettysburg. Roughly the same number of men charged, and about the same number had become casualties. Sword says that “statistics do not ell the whole story.” One side or the other would suffer disaster, says the author. Then he goes on to indirectly criticize Hood again, saying “the script somehow evolved into rampant madness”, calling the assault “an outrageous mistake.” The author concludes that the battle was a contradiction involving the glory and power of Confederate manhood and “the abject disparagement of intelligent reason.” Both sides seemed to take out of the fight the fact that they could find solace in “the indomitable will of mankind to demonstrate its mettle.”\nWhen I first went to read over the reviews of Sword’s book at Amazon.com, I was rather skeptical of the claims that the author was too harsh on John Bell Hood. After all, the Battle of Franklin and the Tennessee Campaign as a whole went terribly wrong for the Confederacy. After re-reading the portion of Sword’s book covering the affair at Spring Hill and the Battle of Franklin, I’ve changed my opinion. Sword does indeed seem to go out of his way in criticizing Hood at every turn, implying that he used drugs that clouded his judgment and willingly sent his men to their deaths to “teach them a lesson.” While I agree with Sword on some points and believe that Hood was not a very good army commander, there is most definitely an agenda on the part of the author to pillory Hood every chance he gets. This is a shame too, because Sword in most other respects is an excellent writer. His accounts of the battle action are excellent in most cases, keeping the reader involved and making the story interesting, though making the human drama at Franklin seem unexciting would admittedly be a tall task. Eric Jacobson mentions that Sword fails to describe the experiences of some brigades in any detail, and I look forward to both his interpretations of the fights at Spring Hill and Franklin and his promise to cover the fighting in even greater detail. Look for my first blog entry covering Jacobson’s book next week Monday, and look for subsequent entries each Monday until I finish. With this section of my look at Spring Hill and Franklin finished, I definitely encourage readers to give their opinions on the topics and arguments raised above. I’d love to hear your opinions on Hood and on the situation that existed on the afternoon of November 30, 1864 at Franklin.."}

{"text": "Hey, Carolina Rollergirls fans, this weekend, June 11, is a HUGE weekend for CRG!\nWe’re hosting a charity bout benefiting the Pretty in Pink Foundation and it’s going to be fun, fun, fun! Dorton Arena will be decked out in pink and we’ve got some exciting things in store for you! Look at all those exclamation points; it’s going to be crazy kinds of awesome!\n3:00 PM marks the start of the day with some home team fun as the Trauma Queens line up against the Tai Chi-tahs. Plan on seeing new faces on the home teams as this will be the debut bout for Try Saratops, Pixie Vicious and Dot Bomber. Be smart and get there early for the opening bout; support the Carolina home teams and their fresh meat.\nAt 5:00 PM we present the undefeated, 10 and 0, Carolina All Stars who will be taking on the Tallahassee All Stars. The All Stars are coming off two enormous wins against the DC Rollergirls (233 / 34) and Richmond’s River City Rollergirls (291 / 45) and they’re looking to add another notch to their knee pads against Tallahassee. Cheer the All Stars on to another strong Carolina victory.\nOutside of great skating there will be an outstanding silent auction with items from the Durham Bulls, NC State Athletics, Tir Na Nog, Lonerider Brewery and your own CRG skaters. And let me tell you, the skater donated items are pretty fantastic. But, you have to be there to see them and bid on them. We will also have a bake sale with delicious morsels of yum baked by the CRG skaters (baked goods taste great with a nice cold beer from Lonerider). Not only can we skate but we can craft and bake too! All proceeds from the silent auction and bake sale will be donated to the Pretty in Pink Foundation.\nSo… what is the Pretty in Pink Foundation exactly? Pretty in Pink Foundation is a local non-profit organization that helps uninsured and underinsured women with breast cancer pay for treatment. You read that correctly, the money raised by the foundation goes directly to patients for their medical treatment. That’s pretty amazing.\nWhy is this charity important to us? The Carolina Rollergirls mission statement says quite clearly; “The Carolina Rollergirls is a 501c3 non-profit organization promoting the physical & mental strength and independent spirit of women.” The Pretty in Pink Foundation has provided CRG another way to support and promote strong, healthy women. Part of the ticket sales from this bout will be donated to the Pretty in Pink Foundation. Support CRG in helping breast cancer patients get the medical treatment they need.\nContributed by Dot Bomber\nNote that you can get in at a discounted rate if you are a Komen Race for the Cure participant!"}

{"text": "Who Is Liable in a Swimming Pool Wrongful Death Case?\nSwimming pools are supposed to be fun and relaxing. However, they pose a range of risks, including slipping and falling on the wet surfaces surrounding the pool, which can result in broken limbs and other injuries. Swimming pools also pose the risk of drowning.\nUnfortunately, swimming pool deaths and accidents are common in Brooklyn, NY, and it's not always the swimmer's fault. The personal injury lawyers at Zucker & Regev, P.C. can help you pursue a personal injury case if you or a loved one were injured at a swimming pool because of the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. They can also work with experts to help you determine who is liable in your swimming pool wrongful death case.\nHow Common Are Swimming Pool Accidents?\nSwimming pool accidents are common. The CDC reports an average of 3,900 cases of unintentional fatal drowning and more than 8,000 cases of non-fatal drowning annually (these numbers include drowning incidents that occur in other types of bodies of water). Sadly, drowning is the leading cause of accidental deaths among children under the age of four.\nCommon Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents\nSome of the most common causes of swimming pool accidents and deaths in Brooklyn and other areas of the country include:\nInability to Swim\nYou are highly likely to drown if you don't know how to swim. Unfortunately, many children and adults in the United States don't know how to swim.\nNegligent Supervision\nIt takes less than five minutes to drown. Taking action within those five minutes can save a life and prevent severe injuries.\nConsequently, there should be a lifeguard at every swimming pool. Additionally, the lifeguard should be attentive, quick, and trained in conducting CPR. Unfortunately, some lifeguards are negligent and don't notice when swimmers are in trouble; in other cases, some swimming pools don't employ one.\nRecklessness & Intoxication\nPlaying in the swimming pool is almost irresistible. However, the fun can get out of hand, resulting in injuries or drowning. Many people also swim while intoxicated. However, intoxication compromises coordination and motor skills, increasing the risk of accidents and drowning.\nDetermining If a Swimming Pool Is Safe\nPrevention is better than cure, and it is important to avoid swimming pools that pose credible risks to your safety. Some of the factors to consider when evaluating a swimming pool's safety include:\n- Polluted and dirty water\n- Lack of fencing and other safety nets\n- Incompetent lifeguards, or lack thereof\n- Slippery boards and floors\n- Overcrowding\nDon't be afraid to highlight any risks to the swimming pool's owner or manager. Additionally, don't hesitate to notify the authorities if the management intentionally ignores safety protocols - you may save lives.\nSeeking Compensation\nThe swimming pool's owner has a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of anyone who may use it. Consequently, you are entitled to seek justice and compensation if you had an accident at a pool or lost a loved one. You are entitled to compensation for a range of damages, including pain from injuries, medical expenses, loss of income, wrongful death, and any other losses incurred.\nConsequently, it is advisable to consult a personal injury lawyer after seeking medical help. Our lawyers will review the case to determine whether it is credible; our lawyers can also estimate your potential compensation amount. Our lawyers can also collect all the evidence needed to bolster your claim. Most importantly, our lawyers can represent you in court to seek compensation and justice.\nTime is an important factor when filing a personal injury lawsuit. You have a limited window of two years, within which you should consult a personal injury attorney and file the case.\nFinal Thoughts\nSuffering injuries at the swimming pool or losing a loved one because of the manager's incompetence is painful. You deserve justice and compensation for your pain.\nGet in touch today by calling us in Brooklyn at (718) 624-1211 or contacting us online to discuss your case and learn how we can help."}

It can be inhaled into the lung where it usually does not cause any problems. However, anywhere from 2-15% of people with CF can develop an allergic reaction to the Aspergillus in the lungs. This condition is called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or ABPA. The symptoms of ABPA are wheezing, chest tightness or shortness of breath, worsening lung function/exercise tolerance, blood in the sputum (hemoptysis), low grade fevers, or coughing up brown coloured mucous plugs. If you grow Aspergillus in your sputum sample this does not mean you have ABPA but your doctor can do other tests to check for this. It is important to tell your doctor if you are having any of the symptoms mentioned above to see whether you may have ABPA. ABPA can be treated but the therapy requires corticosteroids, rather than antibiotics and possibly an antifungal medication."}
{"text": "On 24 May, one of Elon Musk's corporations, the Boring Company, released a video where two Tesla Model 3 vehicles race each other against the clock.\nRELATED: THE BORING COMPANY RECOMMENDED TO BUILD TRANSIT LOOP IN LAS VEGAS\nThe only difference is that one of the vehicles is placed inside the company's tunnel, under the bustling and congested Los Angeles streets, whereas the other is driving at ground level, amongst the traffic and streets of the city. The exact same distance, the exact same car.\nThe Boring Company built this mile-long tunnel in Los Angeles, near its SpaceX base.\nThe tunnel was created for the company to work on and develop its boring techniques and technology, in order to trial its transportation systems. These are being developed and go by the name 'Loop.'\nThe aim of the game?\nThe Boring Company is aiming to minimize traffic congestion in cities. In doing so, they've released this video to demonstrate the benefits of these underground tunnels. The Tesla Model 3 vehicle's goal is to test the tunnel and what benefits it could bring to congested metropolises.\nWatch the race here:\nThe video depicts one of the vehicles being lowered into the tunnel by an elevator system, built by the Boring Company. The car swiftly speeds up to 127 MPH and cruises seamlessly through the empty tunnel.\nIn stark comparison, the second vehicle remains above ground and attempts to match its counterpart. Take a look at the above video to see for yourselves.\nInterestingly, the vehicle in the tunnel's 'tracking wheels' system is not used. It was built to specifically guide the vehicle in the tunnel, when it was launched last year, in an attempt to provide assistance in guiding the vehicles.\nAs far as the race goes, as entertaining as it was, and as apt a topic it brings to our minds, it remains unrealistic given the tunnel's entrance and exit, once opened to the public, would be significantly more congested than it was in this video."}
{"text": "A Helluva Man: Hell Yeah!\nby Sable Hunter\nHow do you determine the measure of a man? By his power, his money, his physical appearance? All his life, Jaxson McCoy measured his worth in the strength of his body and the sweat of his brow. He falls for a woman who is his equal, an Olympic athlete whose mind is as agile as her body.\nTheir perfect world is torn apart when a tragic accident leaves Jaxson less than whole. He pushes everyone away, including the woman who worships the ground he walks on. Tamara knows he stands tall, whether he is on one leg or two, but she gets no chance to prove her devotion before he builds a wall between them too high for her to climb.\nTime has a way of healing wounds and Jaxson’s are no exception, but when he attempts to build a bridge to Tamara, he discovers she has suffered her own loss, her life shattered by a blow she sees no hope of overcoming.\nFor these two people to heal one another, they will have to redefine their definition of perfect, because Tamara is quite a lady and Jaxson is a helluva man.\nExcerpt\n“Next up is Jaxson McCoy,” the announcer’s voice came booming over the loudspeaker. The raucous rodeo crowd immediately grew silent. “I know for many of you, Jaxson is as much of a draw as Garth. This cowboy is a favorite on the circuit. He’s a big man to be a bull rider. At six-foot-four-inches and two-hundred-fifty pounds, McCoy makes the bulls work for their living.”\nThe women in the audience were on their feet, all of them wanted to catch a glimpse of the handsome cowboy. The unseen man in the booth continued his introduction of Jaxson’s ride. “We’ve got a record crowd tonight, folks. Everyone is eager to see if this bull rider will be the one to master the brutal Bocephus, son of the legendary Bodacious. He’s as dangerous as his father. No cowboy has managed to successfully stay on this monster bull for the full eight seconds. He’s put five men in the hospital, the rest of them on their keister. Bocephus hasn’t been conquered in four years.”\nJaxson sat on the hulking, red Beefmaster halfway listening to the broadcaster build up interest in his ride. He hadn’t told Tamara what bull he drew, he hadn’t wanted her to worry more than necessary. This competition wasn’t only about big money, it was about bragging rights. There were many who wanted him to win and more than a few who’d love to see him fall flat on his ass. He, for one, voted for surviving. Squeezing his legs around the heaving sides of the bull, he well knew the moment the gate flew open, the vicious animal would become a hurricane of deadly hooves and horns.\nA breathless silence fell on the stadium as Jaxson performed his normal ritual, whispering a familiar bit of the Good Book from memory. He wasn’t exactly the religious type, but there were things his mother had taught him that stuck – and this was one of those things. “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” As the last word faded on his lips, the chute sprang open and Jaxson’s whole world exploded into overdrive. Bocephus was a solid ton of pure energy. With violent, vicious twists the huge bull launched himself into the air and slung his entire body weight first to the left and then to the right. Jaxson moved instinctively with the bull, knowing the only way he would ride out this perfect storm would be by defying a formidable force of nature.\nAllowing his mind to become perfectly still, Jaxson visualized himself as an extension of the animal’s body. He didn’t fight the pitch and roll of the deadly bull but anticipated the direction Bocephus would lunge and went with it. No matter how you count it, this was eight seconds of teeth-jarring, muscle-wrenching, mind-blowing adrenaline rush.\nWhen the air horn blasted, Jaxson could hear the jubilation of his fans. Not one who chose to wear a helmet, he waved his trade-mark trade-mark white Stetson in the air. Mixed in with the noise of the crowd, he could hear the female version of catcalls from the buckle bunnies. Too bad. Tonight, he wasn’t interested in hooking up with any of them. There was someone waiting for him in the stands. As he bailed off Bocephus, side-stepping the razor-sharp set of horns swiping out at him, he thanked heaven for the bullfighters who risked their lives distracting the enraged beast.\nAs Bocephus danced off to one side, Jaxson looked up in the stands to Tamara and held up his hat, giving her a wink and a promise. “For you, beautiful!” he called out.\nTamara waved back, thrilled at the sight. From where she sat, she could see the whole stadium – and what she saw made her blood run cold. The big bull had run off to one side, avoiding the clowns who were striving to drive him back into the pen. Instead, he headed straight for Jaxon. “Jaxson!” she screamed. Others saw what she saw, and they too began to scream. “Jaxson! Look behind you!”\nHe didn’t get the chance to turn around. Before he could react, the big bull hit him in the back hard enough to knock him down. He was still breathing, nothing was broken – but when he looked up, it was to see that Bocephus had vaulted into the air and was about to come down – right on top of him.\nTamara screamed!\nTime froze.\nVisit Sable:\nWebsite:\n:\nAmazon:\nBookbub:\nGoodreads:\nAbout the Author:\nSable Hunter is a New York Times, USA Today bestselling author of nearly 60"}

{"text": "How To Use Gratitude To Savor More Life Moments\n“Enjoy the little things in life. For one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.” – Kurt Vonnegut.\nWhy Gratitude?\nYet, like most women, I play a lot of different roles in my life. Oddly enough, few of those roles involve standing still. Even when I am in one place, my mind is usually jumping ahead.\nSmelling the roses can be easier said than done.\nSo I came across gratitude as a helpful way to savor more of those little life moments that pass by so quickly. And in extension, work towards a happier life.\nOver time, I’ve implemented two different gratitude practices that have been so beneficial for different reasons. I’m sharing my real-life application, and each takes less than 5 minutes.\nEven the busiest of women can find the time.\nThe Gratitude Journal\nI write down three things I’m thankful for every morning.\nIt can be anything. The beautiful weather outside. My hot cup of tea. My healthy children. It’s very simple.\nThe journal really gets me to appreciate things in my life that I wouldn’t normally think about.\nI’m pretty consistent as it’s on my self-care routine and a part of my day now.\nAdditionally, it is wonderful to go back and look at the past gratitudes I have in the journal. Some days are hard and we lose perspective. The journal often makes me realize I have an extremely blessed life.\nRelated Post: 60 Uplifting Quotes to Be Grateful\nThe 3 Moments\nBefore I fall asleep, I think about three specific moments in my day that I am grateful for.\nThis one makes me feel amazing.\nWhen I think about my 3 life moments, I can always picture the exact look on my daughter’s face when I made her laugh, the feel of my husband’s hug, or even the smile on my student’s face when she figured something out.\nI can see it in my mind, and it brings me back to that moment.\nAs an added benefit, I spend my day subconsciously looking for the moments so I can remember them for the end of the day. Something small will happen and I’ll think “that’s one of my moments today.”\nIt gets me to actually stop and smell the roses because I’m searching all day long.\nAn Update\nSince originally posting this article, I have bought and now use the 5 Minute Journal daily.\nIt was recommended to me and now I HIGHLY recommend it as well!\nIt has both gratitude practices built into the journal as well as a spot for me to write my goals! Plus areas to prioritize and reflect.\nI love not having to find different journals or papers to do everything I love, and it only takes 5 minutes twice a day.\nHERE is the journal on Amazon! It’s worth it!\n*For specific gratitude templates, check out the complete self-care planner here>>\nThank You\nBefore I go, I wanted to say I’m so grateful for you, my readers. This blog has let me explore an interest for writing that I’ve had for a long time.\nSo thank you for letting me share my words with you.\nSomething To Think About\nTake my experiences and try one or both yourself. Enjoy your blessings today!\nYou will find yourself stopping to savor those special life moments just a little bit more.\nNeed help making it happen?

I’m also excited to start reading your blog!!! I need fashion help big time! 🙂\nLove it! I think a lot of times I’m too busy thinking about what is to come that I forget to enjoy the little (sometimes mundane) things. I know a lot of people say to put down the camera and be in the moment which I understand to an extent. However, I love to capture moments on camera. I’ve noticed that my pictures show those things that I am truly grateful for and don’t want to forget. I tried pencil and paper but to be honest I never am able to locate the darn notebook when I need it! In the summer the kids and I go back and look through our adventures and then create a scrapbook. At night when I can’t sleep (which happens often!) I find myself pulling out these books or scrolling through photos and it brings me a sense of peace and happiness.\nThat’s an awesome idea Kate! We also enjoy looking at our photo books. It’s another great way to remember those little moments!!! Thanks for sharing!\nSuch a good idea! I have always thought about keeping a journal every day to record the amazing/funny/loving things my kids do so I can remember it down the line. I am going to go buy a journal after I finish writing this. Amazon here I come. Haha Better late than never! My MOPS group has also started our family doing a thankful tree/wreath every November. We take turns with the kids every day of the month coming up with something we are thankful for and writing it down and adding it to the tree/wreath. Unfortunately, life seemed to take control and we didn’t finish it this last year but I am motivated to finish it now. Again, better late than never. I think it will be fun to look back at the different years in the future.\nAlso, Katie I love that you love to take pictures because I am the opposite and never seem to think to get my camera out. I am always so grateful for your pictures!\nI love the thankful tree! We do it in November too! I like the idea of being able to keep it from year to year though! I really should be taking a picture of our tree at least!!! Thanks for the idea! And yes, better late than never could be my motto on a lot of things!\nSo love this! It really makes you focus on the moment you are in! Have done a gratitude list (sometimes) and it really does make you appreciate what you have and the people in your life much more. And believe me, those grandkid giggles and talks with you are definitely on my list too!!!!\nThanks for sharing mom! Keep the lists going! 🙂\nI love this so much! I really got into keeping a gratitude log every day. For some reason or another, I fell off the bandwagon and this post made me realize it. It is amazing how much of an impact reflect on your daily blessings can have. Absolutely loving the blog, Jenn! Keep up the good work!\nThat’s awesome! Keep reflecting! I love that Amanda! If you find a cute journal please let me know! Mine is almost full and I’ve been on the lookout for a cute new one! I’m so glad you love the blog! I’m trying to improve it a little bit everyday!"}

The scale of absenteeism is estimated to cost the country 230m a day according to the Forum of Private Business (FPB).\nWith further snow showers forecast across Britain, the TUC are urging that employers allow staff to work from home rather than risk driving in the increasingly treacherous conditions if it isnt safe to do so. Many employers will have a bad weather policy in place, and those companies with a flexible working policy and the technology for employees to work from home will continue to maintain normal service levels and avoid losing revenue.

{"text": "One of the more curious trends in the current market is the rise of the work simulator. In the past, these games were all about overall management of operations tycoon-style, but now there is a growing genre of ‘hands on’ sims. Whether it’s trucking, farming, car repair, or construction, the best examples of these games have succeeded in taking mundane tasks and creating a productive and relaxing gameplay experience, while the not so great examples just remain… boring. Where does Demolish & Build 2018 fit in?\nThis game immediately sounds more exciting by throwing destruction into the mix. As the name suggests, this simulator puts the player to work with a sledgehammer and heavy machinery to break up bricks and reduce buildings to rubble. As you knock things down, you try to build up your business, earning money through contracts to invest in new equipment, and taking on bigger and better jobs as your reputation grows.\nI was initially excited about the game. I play the Truck Simulator games and Car Mechanic Simulator as a way to relax – nothing like blowing off steam after a long day at work by simulating being at work in a completely different job! Swinging my sledgehammer and wreaking havoc with my wrecking ball seemed like a perfect outlet to relieve stress.\nHowever, it just turned out to be a bit boring. There is little skill involved, especially early in the game, as you knock down interior walls, smash-up tiles and bathroom fittings, and shatter windows. It is simply a matter of pointing the camera in the right direction and clicking the mouse button, and it soon feels repetitive.\nGetting behind the wheel of the bulldozer briefly makes things more interesting, as does the other heavy machinery available in the game, but the novelty soon wears off. Again, little skill is involved. You simply smash into walls and they fall down. Every so often, your machine jars as it comes in at the wrong angle but you just back up, adjust your position slightly, and the problem is solved.\nTo get to the other vehicles such as the dump truck and the crane, you have to complete contracts and earn cash of course. This just adds to the grind of the game though. Until you get quite deep into the game, you are limited in your choice of jobs by the equipment you currently have. The repetition of doing similar jobs over and over to earn enough money to purchase a pick-up truck and move on to different contract types very quickly becomes stale.\nThe feeling of repetitiveness is not helped by features such as the in-game radio you listen to while driving from one location to the next. It seems to be limited to just a couple of generic instrumental tracks looping over and over. The driving itself is initially fun and adds some immersion instead of just transporting you to the next job (there is a taxi option for this, but I never used it). However, that sense of immersion is broken by a couple of things.\nFirst of all, it seems impossible to damage things you are not supposed to. Running into a road sign will leave both the sign and your vehicle untouched, which seems strange in a game about demolishing and destroying things. Secondly, the vehicle handling is the same whether you are in your pick-up truck or behind the wheel of heavy machinery – acceleration, turning, reversing all feel the same. It takes away from the simulation aspect to see your bulldozer execute a U-turn in a very tight space!\nThere is an element of a living world within the game as you drive around the small-town community, see a few citizens going about their business, pull into petrol stations to fill up and so on. Before purchasing new equipment and machinery, you have to take a short skills test, which acts as an effective mini tutorial.\nAfter building up your company sufficiently, new towns are unlocked, with different contracts to take on, and different machinery to purchase. There is an element of starting over, however, which again adds to the feeling of grinding and repetitive gameplay.\nThere are different mission types available once you have the right equipment. Scrap metal can be collected and brought to the junkyard for cash and there are mining areas where you can dig for gold. There are also building jobs as suggested by the title, but these are few in number. The emphasis of the game is squarely on the demolish side of things.\nOne final thing that lets Demolish & Build 2018 down is the controls. These can be frustratingly fiddly at times making even simple tasks problematic. One example comes when clearing out a site before demolition begins. You may be tasked with removing chairs, heaters, or other furniture and fittings and dumping them in a skip, but all too often these get dropped when trying to walk through doorways or passing by other items. Dumping them is a chore too as tossing a chair into the skip frequently causes another to bounce out, and yes, it has to be picked up and put back before the task is marked as complete. I experienced similar issues with picking up and using the hose to douse buildings and control dust before bringing my bulldozer into play.\nIt was also difficult to set my controller up. There is no default mapping of buttons provided by the game developers and I did not get very far with the unhelpful tip to ‘press button 7’ to accept a job. In the end, I reverted to the keyboard and mouse, which only exacerbated the glitchy controls.\nAs should be clear by now, I found Demolish & Build 2018 somewhat tedious and repetitive. However, others may well enjoy the rigmarole of smashing and bashing much more. There is a strong element of longevity to the game as you build up your company and unlock new equipment and locations. For me personally, the grind of getting there was just not worth it. Strangely enough, I prefer the more mundane sounding work featured in a truck driving are car repair game to one where I get to destroy and demolish. This particular work simulator simply feels too much like work.\n>."}

{"text": "There are two major categories of compression algorithms: lossy and lossless. Lossy compression algorithms involve the reduction of a file’s size usually by removing small details that require a large amount of data to store at full fidelity. In lossy compression, it is impossible to restore the original file due to the removal of essential data. Lossy compression is most commonly used to store image and audio data, and while it can achieve very high compression ratios through data removal, it is not covered in this article..\nThe basic principle that lossless compression algorithms work on is that any non-random file will contain duplicated information that can be condensed using statistical modeling techniques that determine the probability of a character or phrase appearing. These statistical models can then be used to generate codes for specific characters or phrases based on their probability of occurring, and assigning the shortest codes to the most common data. Such techniques include entropy encoding, run-length encoding, and compression using a dictionary. Using these techniques and others, an 8-bit character or a string of such characters could be represented with just a few bits resulting in a large amount of redundant data being removed.\nData compression has only played a significant role in computing since the 1970s, when the Internet was becoming more popular and the Lempel-Ziv algorithms were invented, but it has a much longer history outside of computing. Morse code, invented in 1838, is the earliest instance of data compression in that the most common letters in the English language such as “e” and “t” are given shorter Morse codes. Later, as mainframe computers were starting to take hold in 1949, Claude Shannon and Robert Fano invented Shannon-Fano coding. Their algorithm assigns codes to symbols in a given block of data based on the probability of the symbol occuring. The probability is of a symbol occuring is inversely proportional to the length of the code, resulting in a shorter way to represent the data. [1]\nTwo years later, David Huffman was studying information theory at MIT and had a class with Robert Fano. Fano gave the class the choice of writing a term paper or taking a final exam. Huffman chose the term paper, which was to be on finding the most efficient method of binary coding. After working for months and failing to come up with anything, Huffman was about to throw away all his work and start studying for the final exam in lieu of the paper. It was at that point that he had an epiphany, figuring out a very similar yet more efficient technique to Shannon-Fano coding. The key difference between Shannon-Fano coding and Huffman coding is that in the former the probability tree is built bottom-up, creating a suboptimal result, and in the latter it is built top-down.[2]\nEarly implementations of Shannon-Fano and Huffman coding were done using hardware and hardcoded codes. It was not until the 1970s and the advent of the Internet and online storage that software compression was implemented that Huffman codes were dynamically generated based on the input data.[1] Later, in 1977, Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv published their groundbreaking LZ77 algorithm, the first algorithm to use a dictionary to compress data. More specifically, LZ77 used a dynamic dictionary oftentimes called a sliding window.[3] In 1978, the same duo published their LZ78 algorithm which also uses a dictionary; unlike LZ77, this algorithm parses the input data and generates a static dictionary rather than generating it dynamically.[4]\nBoth the LZ77 and LZ78 algorithms grew rapidly in popularity, spawning many variants shown in the diagram to the right. Most of these algorithms have died off since their invention, with just a handful seeing widespread use today including DEFLATE, LZMA, and LZX. Most of the commonly used algorithms are derived from the LZ77 algorithm. This is not due to technical superiority, but because LZ78 algorithms became patent-encumbered after Unisys patented the derivative LZW algorithm in 1984 and began suing software vendors, server admins, and even end users for using the GIF format without a license. [5][6]\nAt the time, the UNIX compress utility used a very slight modification of the LZW algorithm called LZC and was later discontinued due to patent issues. Other UNIX developers also began to deviate from using the LZW algorithm in favor or open source ones. This led the UNIX community to adopt the DEFLATE-based gzip and the Burrows-Wheeler Transform-based bzip2 formats. In the long run, this was a benefit for the UNIX community because both the gzip and bzip2 formats nearly always achieve significantly higher compression ratios than the LZW format.[6] The patent issues surrounding LZW have since subsided, as the patent on the LZW algorithm expired in 2003.[5] Despite this, the LZW algorithm has largely been replaced and is only commonly used in GIF compression. There have also been some LZW derivatives since then but they do not enjoy widespread use either and LZ77 algorithms remain dominant.\nAnother legal battle erupted in 1993 regarding the LZS algorithm. LZS was developed by Stac Electronics for use in disk compression software such as Stacker. Microsoft used the LZS algorithm in developing disk compression software that was released with MS-DOS 6.0 that purported to double the capacity of a hard drive. When Stac Electronics found out its intellectual property was being used, it filed suit against Microsoft. Microsoft was later found guilty of patent infringement and ordered to pay Stac Electronics $120 million in damages minus $13.6 million awarded in a countersuit finding that Microsoft’s infringement was not willful.[7] Although Stac Electronics v. Microsoft had a large judgment, it did not impede the development of Lempel-Ziv algorithms as the LZW patent dispute did. The only consequence seems to be that LZS has not been forked into any new algorithms.\nCorporations and other large entities have used data compression since the Lempel-Ziv algorithms were published as they have ever-increasing storage needs and data compression allows them to meet those needs. However, data compression did not see widespread use until the Internet began to take off toward the late 1980s when a need for data compression emerged. Bandwidth was either limited, expensive, or both, and data compression helped to alleviate these bottlenecks. Compression became especially important when the World Wide Web was developed as people began to share more images and other formats which are considerably larger than text. To meet the demand, several new file formats were developed incorporating compression including ZIP, GIF, and PNG.\nThom Henderson released the first commercially successful archive format called ARC in 1985 through his company, System Enhancement Associates. ARC was especially popular in the BBS community, since it was one of the first programs capable of both bundling and compressing files and it was also made open source. The ARC format uses a modification to the LZW algorithm to compress data. A man named Phil Katz noticed ARC's popularity and decided to improve it by writing the compression and decompression routines in assembly language. He released his PKARC program as shareware in 1987 and was later sued by Henderson for copyright infringement. He was found guilty and forced to pay royalties and other penalties as part of a cross-licensing agreement. He was found guilty because PKARC was a blatant copy of ARC; in some instances even the typos in the comments were identical. [8]\nPhil Katz could no longer sell PKARC after 1988 due to the cross-licensing agreement, so in 1989 he created a tweaked version of PKARC that is now known as the ZIP format. As a result of its use of LZW, it was considered patent encumbered and Katz later chose to switch to the new IMPLODE algorithm. The format was again updated in 1993, when Katz released PKZIP 2.0, which implemented the DEFLATE algorithm as well as other features like split volumes. This version of the ZIP format is found ubiquitously today, as almost all .zip files follow the PKZIP 2.0 format despite its great age.\nThe GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, was developed by CompuServe in 1987 to allow bitmaps to be shared without data loss (although the format is limited to 256 colors per frame), while substantially reducing the file size to allow transmission over the Internet. However, like the ZIP format, GIF is also based on the LZW algorithm. Despite being patent encumbered, Unisys was unable to enforce their patents adequately enough to stop the format from spreading. Even now, over 20 years later, the GIF remains in use especially for its capability of being animated. [9]\nAlthough GIF could not be stopped, CompuServe sought a format unencumbered by patents and in 1994 introduced the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. Like ZIP, the PNG standard uses the DEFLATE algorithm to perform compression. Although DEFLATE was patented by Katz[10] the patent was never enforced and thus PNG and other DEFLATE-based formats avoid infringing on patents. Although LZW took off in the early days of compression, due to Unisys's litigious nature it has more or less died off in favor of the faster and more efficient DEFLATE algorithm. DEFLATE is currently the most used data compression algorithm since it is a bit like the Swiss Army knife of compression.\nBeyond its use in the PNG and ZIP formats, DEFLATE is also used very frequently elsewhere in computing. For example, the gzip (.gz) file format uses DEFLATE since it is essentially an open source version of ZIP. Other uses of DEFLATE include HTTP, SSL, and other technologies designed for efficient data compression over a network.\nSadly, Phil Katz did not live long enough to see his DEFLATE algorithm take over the computing world. He suffered from alcoholism for several years and his life began to fall apart in the late 1990s, having been arrested several times for drunk driving and other violations. Katz was found dead in a hotel room on April 14, 2000, at the age of 37. The cause of death was found to be acute pancreatic bleeding from his alcoholism, brought on by the many empty bottles of liquor found near his body. [11]\nThe ZIP format and other DEFLATE-based formats were king up until the mid 1990s when new and improved formats began to emerge. In 1993, Eugene Roshal released his archiver known as WinRAR which utilizes the proprietary RAR format. The latest version of RAR uses a combination of the PPM and LZSS algorithms, but not much is known about earlier implementations. RAR has become a standard format for sharing files over the Internet, specifically in the distribution of pirated media. An open-source implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform called bzip2 was introduced in 1996 and rapidly grew in popularity on the UNIX platform against the DEFLATE-based gzip format. Another open-source compression program was released in 1999 as the 7-Zip or .7z format. 7-Zip could be the first format to challenge the dominance of ZIP and RAR due to its generally high compression ratio and the format's modularity and openness. This format is not limited to using one compression algorithm, but can instead choose between bzip2, LZMA, LZMA2, and PPMd algorithms among others. Finally, on the bleeding edge of archival software are the PAQ* formats. The first PAQ format was released by Matt Mahoney in 2002, called PAQ1. PAQ substantially improves on the PPM algorithm by using a technique known as context mixing which combines two or more statistical models to generate a better prediction of the next symbol than either of the models on their own.\nThe future is never certain, but based on current trends some predictions can be made as to what may happen in the future of data compression. Context Mixing algorithms such as PAQ and its variants have started to attract popularity, and they tend to achieve the highest compression ratios but are usually slow. With the exponential increase in hardware speed following Moore's Law, context mixing algorithms will likely flourish as the speed penalties are overcome through faster hardware due to their high compression ratio. The algorithm that PAQ sought to improve, called Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) may also see new variants. Finally, the Lempel-Ziv Markov chain Algorithm (LZMA) has consistently shown itself to have an excellent compromise between speed and high compression ratio and will likely spawn more variants in the future. LZMA may even be the \"winner\" as it is further developed, having already been adopted in numerous competing compression formats since it was introduced with the 7-Zip format. Another potential development is the use of compression via substring enumeration (CSE) which is an up-and-coming compression technique that has not seen many software implementations yet. In its naive form it performs similarly to bzip2 and PPM, and researchers have been working to improve its efficiency.[12]\nMany different techniques are used to compress data. Most compression techniques cannot stand on their own, but must be combined together to form a compression algorithm. Those that can stand alone are often more effective when joined together with other compression techniques. Most of these techniques fall under the category of entropy coders, but there are others such as Run-Length Encoding and the Burrows-Wheeler Transform that are also commonly used.\nRun-Length Encoding is a very simple compression technique that replaces runs of two or more of the same character with a number which represents the length of the run, followed by the original character; single characters are coded as runs of 1. RLE is useful for highly-redundant data, indexed images with many pixels of the same color in a row, or in combination with other compression techniques like the Burrows-Wheeler Transform.\nHere is a quick example of RLE:\nInput: AAABBCCCCDEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\nOutput: 3A2B4C1D6E38A\nThe Burrows-Wheeler Transform is a compression technique invented in 1994 that aims to reversibly transform a block of input data such that the amount of runs of identical characters is maximized. The BWT itself does not perform any compression operations, it simply transforms the input such that it can be more efficiently coded by a Run-Length Encoder or other secondary compression technique.\nThe algorithm for a BWT is simple:\nBWT usually works best on long inputs with many alternating identical characters. Here is an example of the algorithm being run on an ideal input. Note that & is an End of File character:\nBecause of its alternating identical characters, performing the BWT on this input generates an optimal result that another algorithm could further compress, such as RLE which would yield \"3H&3A\". While this example generated an optimal result, it does not generate optimal results on most real-world data.\nEntropy in data compression means the smallest number of bits needed, on average, to represent a symbol or literal. A basic entropy coder combines a statistical model and a coder. The input file is parsed and used to generate a statistical model that consists of the probabilities of a given symbol appearing. Then, the coder will use the statistical model to determine what bit-or-bytecodes to assign to each symbol such that the most common symbols have the shortest codes and the least common symbols have the longest codes.[14]\nThis is one of the earliest compression techniques, invented in 1949 by Claude Shannon and Robert Fano. This technique involves generating a binary tree to represent the probabilities of each symbol occurring. The symbols are ordered such that the most frequent symbols appear at the top of the tree and the least likely symbols appear at the bottom.\nThe code for a given symbol is obtained by searching for it in the Shannon-Fano tree, and appending to the code a value of 0 or 1 for each left or right branch taken, respectively. For example, if “A” is two branches to the left and one to the right its code would be “0012”. Shannon-Fano coding does not always produce optimal codes due to the way it builds the binary tree from the bottom up. For this reason, Huffman coding is used instead as it generates an optimal code for any given input.\nThe algorithm to generate Shannon-Fano codes is fairly simple\nHuffman Coding is another variant of entropy coding that works in a very similar manner to Shannon-Fano Coding, but the binary tree is built from the top down to generate an optimal result.\nThe algorithm to generate Huffman codes shares its first steps with Shannon-Fano:\n6. The last node remaining in the queue is the root of the Huffman tree.[16]\nThis method was developed in 1979 at IBM, which was investigating data compression techniques for use in their mainframes. Arithmetic coding is arguably the most optimal entropy coding technique if the objective is the best compression ratio since it usually achieves better results than Huffman Coding. It is, however, quite complicated compared to the other coding techniques.\nRather than splitting the probabilities of symbols into a tree, arithmetic coding transforms the input data into a single rational number between 0 and 1 by changing the base and assigning a single value to each unique symbol from 0 up to the base. Then, it is further transformed into a fixed-point binary number which is the encoded result. The value can be decoded into the original output by changing the base from binary back to the original base and replacing the values with the symbols they correspond to.\nA general algorithm to compute the arithmetic code is:\nHere is an example of an encode operation, given the input “ABCDAABD”:\nAssuming 8-bit characters, the input is 64 bits long, while its arithmetic coding is just 15 bits long resulting in an excellent compression ratio of 24%. This example demonstrates how arithmetic coding compresses well when given a limited character set.\nPublished in 1977, LZ77 is the algorithm that started it all. It introduced the concept of a 'sliding window' for the first time which brought about significant improvements in compression ratio over more primitive algorithms. LZ77 maintains a dictionary using triples representing offset, run length, and a deviating character. The offset is how far from the start of the file a given phrase starts at, and the run length is how many characters past the offset are part of the phrase. The deviating character is just an indication that a new phrase was found, and that phrase is equal to the phrase from offset to offset+length plus the deviating character. The dictionary used changes dynamically based on the sliding window as the file is parsed. For example, the sliding window could be 64MB which means that the dictionary will contain entries for the past 64MB of the input data.\nGiven an input \"abbadabba\" the output would look something like \"abb(0,1,'d')(0,3,'a')\" as in the example below:\nWhile this substitution is slightly larger than the input, it generally achieves a considerably smaller result given longer input data. [3]\nLZR is a modification of LZ77 invented by Michael Rodeh in 1981. The algorithm aims to be a linear time alternative to LZ77. However, the encoded pointers can point to any offset in the file which means LZR consumes a considerable amount of memory. Combined with its poor compression ratio (LZ77 is often superior) it is an unfeasible variant.[18][19]\nDEFLATE was invented by Phil Katz in 1993 and is the basis for the majority of compression tasks today. It simply combines an LZ77 or LZSS preprocessor with Huffman coding on the backend to achieve moderately compressed results in a short time.\nDEFLATE64 is a proprietary extension of the DEFLATE algorithm which increases the dictionary size to 64kB (hence the name) and allows greater distance in the sliding window. It increases both performance and compression ratio compared to DEFLATE.[20] However, the proprietary nature of DEFLATE64 and its modest improvements over DEFLATE has led to limited adoption of the format. Open source algorithms such as LZMA are generally used instead.\nThe LZSS, or Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Szymanski algorithm was first published in 1982 by James Storer and Thomas Szymanski. LZSS improves on LZ77 in that it can detect whether a substitution will decrease the filesize or not. If no size reduction will be achieved, the input is left as a literal in the output. Otherwise, the section of the input is replaced with an (offset, length) pair where the offset is how many bytes from the start of the input and the length is how many characters to read from that position.[21] Another improvement over LZ77 comes from the elimination of the \"next character\" and uses just an offset-length pair.\nHere is a brief example given the input \" these theses\" which yields \" these(0,6)s\" which saves just one byte, but saves considerably more on larger inputs.\nLZSS is still used in many popular archive formats, the best known of which is RAR. It is also sometimes used for network data compression.\nLZH was developed in 1987 and it stands for \"Lempel-Ziv Huffman.\" It is a variant of LZSS that utilizes Huffman coding to compress the pointers, resulting in slightly better compression. However, the improvements gained using Huffman coding are negligible and the compression is not worth the performance hit of using Huffman codes.[19]\nLZB was also developed in 1987 by Timothy Bell et al as a variant of LZSS. Like LZH, LZB also aims to reduce the compressed file size by encoding the LZSS pointers more efficiently. The way it does this is by gradually increasing the size of the pointers as the sliding window grows larger. It can achieve higher compression than LZSS and LZH, but it is still rather slow compared to LZSS due to the extra encoding step for the pointers.[19]\nROLZ stands for \"Reduced Offset Lempel-Ziv\" and its goal is to improve LZ77 compression by restricting the offset length to reduce the amount of data required to encode the offset-length pair. This derivative of LZ77 was first seen in 1991 in Ross Williams' LZRW4 algorithm. Other implementations include BALZ, QUAD, and RZM. Highly optimized ROLZ can achieve nearly the same compression ratios as LZMA; however, ROLZ suffers from a lack of popularity.\nLZP stands for \"Lempel-Ziv + Prediction.\" It is a special case of ROLZ algorithm where the offset is reduced to 1. There are several variations using different techniques to achieve either faster operation of better compression ratios. LZW4 implements an arithmetic encoder to achieve the best compression ratio at the cost of speed. [22]\nRon Williams created this algorithm in 1991, introducing the concept of a Reduced-Offset Lempel-Ziv compression for the first time. LZRW1 can achieve high compression ratios while remaining very fast and efficient. Ron Williams also created several variants that improve on LZRW1 such asa LZRW1-A, 2, 3, 3-A, and 4.[23]\nJeff Bonwick created his Lempel-Ziv Jeff Bonwick algorithm in 1998 for use in the Solaris Z File System (ZFS). It is considered a variant of the LZRW algorithm, specifically the LZRW1 variant which is aimed at maximum compression speed. Since it is used in a file system, speed is especially important to ensure that disk operations are not bottlenecked by the compression algorithm.\nThe Lempel-Ziv-Stac algorithm was developed by Stac Electronics in 1994 for use in disk compression software. It is a modification to LZ77 which distinguishes between literal symbols in the output and offset-length pairs, in addition to removing the next encountered symbol. The LZS algorithm is functionally most similar to the LZSS algorithm.[24]\nThe LZX algorithm was developed in 1995 by Jonathan Forbes and Tomi Poutanen for the Amiga computer. The X in LZX has no special meaning. Forbes sold the algorithm to Microsoft in 1996 and went to work for them, where it was further improved upon for use in Microsoft's cabinet (.CAB) format. This algorithm is also employed by Microsoft to compress Compressed HTML Help (CHM) files, Windows Imaging Format (WIM) files, and Xbox Live Avatars.[25]\nLZO was developed by Markus Oberhumer in 1996 whose development goal was fast compression and decompression. It allows for adjustable compression levels and requires only 64kB of additional memory for the highest compression level, while decompression only requires the input and output buffers. LZO functions very similarly to the LZSS algorithm but is optimized for speed rather than compression ratio. [26]\nThe Lempel-Ziv Markov chain Algorithm was first published in 1998 with the release of the 7-Zip archiver for use in the .7z file format. It achieves better compression than bzip2, DEFLATE, and other algorithms in most cases. LZMA uses a chain of compression techniques to achieve its output. First, a modified LZ77 algorithm, which operates at a bitwise level rather than the traditional bytewise level, is used to parse the data. Then, the output of the LZ77 algorithm undergoes arithmetic coding. More techniques can be applied depending on the specific LZMA implementation. The result is considerably improved compression ratios over most other LZ variants mainly due to the bitwise method of compression rather than bytewise.[27]\nLZMA2 is an incremental improvement to the original LZMA algorithm, first introduced in 2009[28] in an update to the 7-Zip archive software. LZMA2 improves the multithreading capabilities and thus performance of the LZMA algorithm, as well as better handling of incompressible data resulting in slightly better compression.\nStatistical Lempel-Ziv was a concept created by Dr. Sam Kwong and Yu Fan Ho in 2001. The basic principle it operates on is that a statistical analysis of the data can be combined with an LZ77-variant algorithm to further optimize what codes are stored in the dictionary. [29]\nLZ78 was created by Lempel and Ziv in 1978, hence the abbreviation. Rather than using a sliding window to generate the dictionary, the input data is either preprocessed to generate a dictionary wiith infinite scope of the input, or the dictionary is formed as the file is parsed. LZ78 employs the latter tactic. The dictionary size is usually limited to a few megabytes, or all codes up to a certain numbers of bytes such as 8; this is done to reduce memory requirements. How the algorithm handles the dictionary being full is what sets most LZ78 type algorithms apart.[4]\nWhile parsing the file, the LZ78 algorithm adds each newly encountered character or string of characters to the dictionary. For each synbol in the input, a dictionary entry in the form (dictionary index, unknown symbol) is generated; if a symbol is already in the dictionary then the dictionary will be searched for substrings of the current symbol and the symbols following it. The index of the longest substring match is used for the dictionary index. The data pointed to by the dictionary index is added to the last character of the unknown substring. If the current symbol is unknown, then the dictionary index is set to 0 to indicate that it is a single character entry. The entries form a linked-list type data structure.[19]\nAn input such as \"abbadabbaabaad\" would generate the output \"(0,a)(0,b)(2,a)(0,d)(1,b)(3,a)(6,d)\". You can see how this was derived in the following example:\nLZW is the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm created in 1984 by Terry Welch. It is the most commonly used derivative of the LZ78 family, despite being heavily patent-encumbered. LZW improves on LZ78 in a similar way to LZSS; it removes redundant characters in the output and makes the output entirely out of pointers. It also includes every character in the dictionary before starting compression, and employs other tricks to improve compression such as encoding the last character of every new phrase as the first character of the next phrase. LZW is commonly found in the Graphics Interchange Format, as well as in the early specificiations of the ZIP format and other specialized applications. LZW is very fast, but achieves poor compression compared to most newer algorithms and some algorithms are both faster and achieve better compression. [19]\nLZC, or Lempel-Ziv Compress is a slight modification to the LZW algorithm used in the UNIX compress utility. The main difference between LZC and LZW is that LZC monitors the compression ratio of the output. Once the ratio crosses a certain threshold, the dictionary is discarded and rebuilt. [19]\nLempel-Ziv Tischer is a modification of LZC that, when the dictionary is full, deletes the least recently used phrase and replaces it with a new entry. There are some other incremental improvements, but neither LZC nor LZT is commonly used today. [19]\nInvented in 1984 by Victor Miller and Mark Wegman, the LZMW algorithm is quite similar to LZT in that it employs the least recently used phrase substitution strategy. However, rather than joining together similar entries in the dictionary, LZMW joins together the last two phrases encoded and stores the result as a new entry. As a result, the size of the dictionary can expand quite rapidly and LRUs must be discarded more frequently. LZMW generally achieves better compression than LZT, however it is yet another algorithm that does not see much modern use. [19]\nLZAP was created in 1988 by James Storer as a modification to the LZMW algorithm. The AP stands for \"all prefixes\" in that rather than storing a single phrase in the dictionary each iteration, the dictionary stores every permutation. For example, if the last phrase was \"last\" and the current phrase is \"next\" the dictionary would store \"lastn\", \"lastne\", \"lastnex\", and \"lastnext\". [30]\nLZWL is a modification to the LZW algorithm created in 2006 that works with syllables rather than than single characters. LZWL is designed to work better with certain datasets with many commonly occuring syllables such as XML data. This type of algorithm is usually used with a preprocessor that decomposes the input data into syllables.[31]\nMatti Jakobsson published the LZJ algorithm in 1985[32] and it is one of the only LZ78 algorithms that deviates from LZW. The algorithm works by storing every unique string in the already processed input up to an arbitrary maximum length in the dictionary and assigning codes to each. When the dictionary is full, all entries that occurred only once are removed.[19]\nPrediction by Partial Matching is a statistical modeling technique that uses a set of previous symbols in the input to predict what the next symbol will be in order to reduce the entropy of the output data. This is different from a dictionary since PPM makes predictions about what the next symbol will be rather than trying to find the next symbols in the dictionary to code them. PPM is usually combined with an encoder on the back end, such as arithmetic coding or adaptive Huffman coding.[33] PPM or a variant known as PPMd are implemented in many archive formats including 7-Zip and RAR.\nbzip2 is an open source implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform. Its operating principles are simple, yet they achieve a very good compromise between speed and compression ratio that makes the bzip2 format very popular in UNIX environments. First, a Run-Length Encoder is applied to the data. Next, the Burrows-Wheeler Transform is applied. Then, a move-to-front transform is applied with the intent of creating a large amount of identical symbols forming runs for use in yet another Run-Length Encoder. Finally, the result is Huffman coded and wrapped with a header.[34]\nPAQ was created by Matt Mahoney in 2002 as an improvement upon older PPM(d) algorithms. The way it does this is by using a revolutionary technique called context mixing. Context mixing is when multiple statistical models (PPM is one example) are intelligently combined to make better predictions of the next symbol than either model by itself. PAQ is one of the most promising algorithms because of its extremely high compression ratio and very active development. Over 20 variants have been created since its inception, with some variants achieving record compression ratios. The biggest drawback of PAQ is its slow speed due to using multiple statistical models to get the best compression ratio. However, since hardware is constantly getting faster, it may be the standard of the future.[35] PAQ is slowly being adopted, and a variant called PAQ8O which brings 64-bit support and major speed improvements can be found in the PeaZip program for Windows. Other PAQ formats are mostly command-line only."}

{"text": "One of the immediate spurs for me posting again was Ada Lovelace Day; as I have done previously, I thought I’d write about a female RAE engineer that I’ve come across during the PhD research.\nI first came across Anne Burns, engineer, RAE flight test observer, and champion glider pilot, in Richard Dennis’s book Farnborough’s Caterpillars. Born Anne Pellew, and only the second woman ever to study Engineering Sciences at Oxford, she graduated with a first and went on to do research with Professor RV Southwell, including a paper on Rayleigh-Benard convection that was published in the Royal Society’s Proceedings. At the outbreak of the Second World War she attempted to join the Air Transport Auxiliary, but her engineering expertise meant she was turned down and drafted to do work at the RAE. At Farnborough she worked on flutter behaviour, and stayed after the war as a flight test observer. She worked on the Comet crash investigation, and was one of the observers for the RAE’s flight test programme on an unpressurised Comet. Apparently all the staff onboard wore oxygen gear and parachutes fitted with barometric releases; the hope was that if the aircraft broke up in flight and the crew were thrown clear, they might survive even if unconscious, so long as the chutes triggered at the right altitude. For her part in the tests, Burns was awarded a Queen’s Commendation, as well as a medal by the Royal Aeronautical Society. She continued to do flight test work at the RAE, in particular investigating clear-air turbulence, for which she carried out some of the flight programme in her motor-glider. She was awarded another Queen’s Commendation for her work in 1963; other awards included the Royal Aeronautical’s Silver Medal, as well as it’s inaugural Whitney Straight Award for women in aviation. She retired from the RAE in 1976.\nBurns had taken up recreational gliding in the 1950s, and in 1966 became the first female British Gliding Champion. However, she had another notable achievement still to come: in 1977 her glider suffered a birdstrike, and she took to her parachute to escape from the damaged aircraft; this made her the first female since the 1930s to become a member of the Caterpillar Club, and at 62 its oldest member ever. Though this led her to take up the somewhat more sedate sports of golf and fly fishing, in typical fashion she became expert at these as well. Burns died in January 2001."}

{"text": "About.\nPart 3: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.\nBefore we go any further, I want to make something clear: I'm not opposed to \"free\" digital content, in either its monetary or political sense. Although I pay a small amount each month for hosting this site, it is served via Apache (free) on Linux (free), and is generated on the server by a set of (free) Perl CGI scripts. I log into the server using the PuTTY SSH client (free), and I view and test it using Firefox (free). Like almost everyone else, I use \"free\" ad-supported search engines and watch \"free\" ad-supported broadcast television. My current smartphone runs on a free, open-source operating system, and my previous phone OS is currently being open-sourced by its owners. I also eat the \"free\" samples at Price Club on Saturdays, if they're not too disgusting, which is a credit partly to my thriftiness but mainly to the strength of my stomach.\nI don't have a problem with free, as long as we understand that \"free\" actually means \"a wide range of well-known business models that shift costs to another location,\" also known as Chris Anderson's weak hypothesis in Free. If he'd written a book about that, I'd have little disagreement, but it would be a pointless book mostly composed of truisms. Much of Anderson's writing starts out in this mode. But inevitably, he keeps getting carried away and broadening it into a strong hypothesis that's untenable--either that the shifted costs, Heisenberg-like, cease to exist if he ignores them, or that \"very cheap\" is the same thing as free, or both.\nThat's largely the gist of chapters five through eight of Free. Anderson's wishfully-ambiguous conception of his subject from chapter four continues to shift to wherever his argument needs to be. It's incredibly frustrating--my notes are filled with repeated entries reading \"so it's not really free, then.\" It's not that Anderson is unaware of these criticisms--he mentions them in passing at least a couple of times--but that he apparently dismisses them out of hand, or forgets about them in his rush to tell yet another overcooked, second-hand anecdote.\nChapter seven, for example, is devoted to Microsoft and the degree to which it has been threatened by free alternatives. Inarguably, Microsoft has been challenged in several markets by competing products that carry no up-front sticker price, and they've done their best to respond. The result has, in my opinion, been good for both Microsoft and for consumers--you can pry Firefox and Firebug out of my cold, dead hands, for example. But as a case study for how \"free\" will conquer all, you could not pick a worse company than Microsoft. In every example Anderson describes, by his own admission, they're thriving despite a paid-product revenue model. China? Heavily pirated and discounted, but still profitable. The desktop? Still controlling most of the market, and raking in money even on critical failures like Vista. The server? Incredibly, server software is one of Microsoft's biggest recent successes: IIS runs an astonishing majority of the web. Free software has challenged the software giant, but it shows no signs of killing them off anytime soon, and no cute Kubler-Ross reference on Anderson's part is going to change that.\nBut let's not get ahead of ourselves. Anderson opens chapter five with the story of Lewis Strauss, the man who coined his favorite phrase, \"too cheap to meter.\" Strauss was discussing electricity, and of course you may have noticed the continued existence of power meters on buildings throughout the U.S. But, says Anderson (location 1219):\n...what if Strauss had been right? What if electricity had, in fact, become virtually free?Sure, and what if I had a pony? We can imagine all kinds of ways the world would be different if scarcity no longer applies--and Anderson does, laying out a vision of plentiful water, food, and clean fuel. But looking back, Strauss sounds like a crank. Anderson needs to show how his post-scarcity vision won't appear the same way in forty years, and using weasel-words like \"virtually free\" doesn't help.\nGet used to it, though, because there's a lot of \"virtually\" free in Anderson's utopia, even though that's not the same thing as free at all. He seems to have an equivalence problem: make something small enough, and he'll swear it doesn't exist. For example, Anderson spends a lot of time in chapters five and six on Moore's Law and the price of transistors. He writes (location 1236):\nIn 1961 a single transistor cost $10. Two years later, it was $5. [...] Today, Intel's latest processor chips have about 2 billion transistors and cost around $300. So that means each transistor costs approximately 0.000015 cents. Which is to say, too cheap to meter.Can you spot the fallacy? Yes, transistors are really cheap--which would be awesome if I bought computer hardware by the transistor. But of course single transistors are completely useless to me, or to anyone else. I need a bunch of them in a certain configuration, like the Core2 Duo in my laptop or the ARM in my phone, neither of which even remotely qualifies as \"free.\" Anderson obviously knows this--he wrote the sticker price for an Intel chip in the previous sentence, for heaven's sake--but appears to be purposefully ignoring it.\nHe commits this same mistake when discussing Google (chapter eight is entirely devoted to Google, and is one of the most tedious things ever written). Google keeps building enormous, multi-million datacenters, but (he chortles) their cost-per-byte just keeps dropping! Why, they're practically free! Really? Is the company doing per-byte accounting, then? A huge datacenter may be a better value than the last one, but it still cost someone enough money to keep 70's-era The Who in guitar amps for at least a couple of years. I have the utmost respect for Google and their continued efforts to make their infrastructure both ecologically-friendly and energy-efficient, but their facilities are not \"free\" by any stretch of the imagination.\nAnderson calls the combination of increasing bandwidth, processing power, and storage space a \"triple play\" that's \"not too cheap to meter, as Strauss foretold, but too cheap to matter.\" (italics in the original) The elephant in the room is, too cheap for whom? All Anderson's examples revolve around fiber broadband and state-of-the-art PC hardware, probably because that's his experience. But even in this country, there are plenty of areas without a fast pipe, and plenty of people too poor to buy a machine that could fully exploit it. Not to mention the developing world.\nIndeed, we might well ask \"too cheap to matter\" for what? In the last few years, commodity hardware has hit the point where it's sufficiently powerful for almost any local task (excepting, of course, heavy lifting like games and media production). I could run Word (or any similar native office suite) just fine on my old 366MHz Celeron. But according to Anderson the future is in the cloud, where an equivalent word processor will be implemented in a high-level scripting language that older hardware may struggle to interpret with the same responsiveness and power. A computer in a rural area (or a developing nation) may have difficulty pulling down pages fast enough to use those AJAX applications effectively. Anderson's hypothetical world is only free--or close enough that the cost can be waved away--for people who are urban, relatively wealthy, and have already sunk money into recent hardware. If you fall outside that cohort, the future of Free, isn't.\nIn interviews and responses to critics who have raised similar arguments about scale and definition, Anderson and his fellow travelers have not responded gracefully. He's not claiming that everything is free, Anderson says, just the important bits. But this has always been the problem with techno-utopian schemes, ranging from seasteading initiatives to the OLPC. The parts that he and his friends consider important (or unimportant, in the case of Google's extensive data-mining, for example) aren't necessarily the parts that translate across cultures, incomes, and geography. And while Anderson's demographic may not feel the cost of his revolution directly, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.\nTo his credit, Anderson points out one group for whom life is going to suck if his prediction comes true: the people driven out of business by the pursuit of Free's ideology. Wikipedia, he notes, has killed off what was left of the encyclopedia industry after Encarta demolished most of it. Craigslist has done a number on the newspaper industry. Anderson sees this as a \"Robin Hood\" transaction, decentralizing the flow of money, but admits that he could be wrong. We'll get to see in more depth how he thinks journalism (and the economy as a whole) can reinvent itself in chapters 9 and 10. As someone with no small amount of interest in the sector, and based on hints from Malcolm Gladwell's review, I can't help but dread it.\nPart."}

Turning off computers and phones will really help you to concentrate on revision. I know its difficult, but it will really help in the long run when you get your results. Some people delete FB accounts and all of that, which also is a good investment.\nAnother weird way of defying distraction is to have a sort of 'reward' near you when you work. Food and drink are good, because when you start loosing concentration, you can quickly re-boost yourself and i think it makes you happier as well.\ngood luck in all your exams\nlots of breaks are good, it's proven that you learn more at the beginning and end of the revision sessions! if you get bored, you need to make your revision more interesting so be creative with it so more will stick in your memory because you enjoy doing it :) x\nI feel the same way, all my friends are revising 24/7 whereas i'm taking a much more relaxed approach though my GCSEs start on mon!.However the thing the motivates me to work is imagining getting the A*s and the amazing feeling that comes with it. Also for revision for boring things to me, like bio, i draw fun diagrams and make Powerpoints instead of just reading the book\ni would revise for 30 -45 mins the go for a 10 min bike ride and then test my self so you get revising done and exercise and test yourself.\ngood luck\nyour technique is very good\nif you are finding it hard to concentrate make sure u are working in a quiet place; late at night is a good time if you catch up on some sleep during the day and or go to a library really early and leave when it gets really noisy\nDon't just sit at a desk and write notes (unless you enjoy this). Get up and walk around the room while speaking outloud about the facts you have just read. Use colour and pictures and if you're creative, try to make a short film. Also, try to work on a large scale with A3 sheets of paper and white boards (many stationary shops sell whiteboards cheaply).\nRevise for shot periods of time then get away from your revision area and do some star jumps , or anything else this will help the imformation be remembered better.

{"text": "Who do you think of when you hear helicopter ride? Kate and Wills, business tycoons, gazillionaires? Yeh me too! But now you can add The Travelista to that list, as last weekend I got to travel over London VIP style. The experience came courtesy of the lovely people at The London Helicopter – who operate helicopter sightseeing experiences over London to anyone that has the desire – and bottle – to do so (take that Kate and Wills!)\nWaking up last Sunday with a slightly sore head from the escapades of the night before, I made my way to Battersea Heliport. I had a warm welcome and was offered a much needed coffee as I watched the flight before me take off. After meeting the other people on my flight (just 3 others) and short safety briefing, we had our harnesses on and were clambering into the helicopter itself.\nThe pilot was a lovely chap who reassured us we were in safe hands. Having been on a helicopter once before in La Reunion, it all came back to me and I was so excited to get in the air and see London from a totally new perspective. As a bit of an adrenaline junkie, I loved that leaving-your-stomach-behind feeling as we took off into the skies. Within just a few minutes, we were above all the buildings and gaining altitude.\nNot only did the pilot treat us to a seamless take off, he gave a running commentary about what was below us and what we should look out for. Wearing headsets meant we could hear his commentary as well as ask any questions. One of the first spots was Buckingham Palace. I loved seeing it from above and into the palace gardens, no sign of the Queen though!\nWe followed the meanders of the Thames and saw all the major Westminster sights including Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. I never realised how so much of London’s biggest landmarks and buildings all sit by the river.\nAs we hovered along above the Thames we made our way towards the city. It felt so crazy to be so high above London’s tallest buildings and it was amazing to see the Shard from such a unique angle. You can spot the skyscrapers of the city from miles off. They’re all so compact. We went further east along the river and got to the O2 Arena, the Greenwich Maritime Museum and Canary Wharf and the O2 Arena, which gave me slight déjà vu of the Eastenders opening credits!\nMe being me, I was photographing, videoing, instagramming and instavidding the whole flight, but for a brief 5 minutes I put all the technology down and just took in the views. It was so visually breath-taking and definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in London. The flight lasted 20 minutes but I was so in awe, it went in the blink of an eye.\nIf you’re looking for an exciting and alternative way to see London and have a few bob spare (£199 to be precise), I would whole heartedly recommend a flight with The London Helicopter. It’s a once in a lifetime experience that I will definitely never forget.\nWhat did you think of my VIP flight experience? Have you experienced a helicopter ride or thinking of doing so? If you enjoyed this post leave me a comment in the box below and say hi!\nN.B This experience was supplied complimentary by The London Helicopter for blogging coverage on The Travelista.\nVery cool! I go in helicopters at least three or four times a year, but have never been over a city and got such a great birds-eye view before 🙂\nHi Rebecca! Thanks for your comment. Do you travel in helicopters for your work? Where do you tend to fly over? Going over a city is a fab experience – you’ll have to try it sometime 🙂\nYes, for work. I’m mostly travelling over the Papua New Guinean jungle! 🙂 It’s amazing looking down at the jungle and wondering what’s below the trees.\nHow amazing! That sounds incredible 🙂\nI am scared of heights – but when you see the views – I think I would be prepared to give it a go – amazing pics – well done Jess\nLooks incredible!\nWhat amazing photos! Such a clear day for it too. Looks like a brilliant experience and I’d love to do it, but would be a little scared about the heights…\nThanks for your comment Anna! It really was awesome. The photos don’t even do it justice! It’s one of those things that you can’t over analyse as there is always that element of risk…but that’s what makes it so exciting! 🙂\nJess x\nThat looks stunning! I’ve done a few light aircraft flights before (courtesy of my dear hubbie) but I’d love to try a helicopter!!\nOoh you should give it a go Lucy – I can’t recommend it enough! 🙂\nwowww that seems to be amazing 🙂\nThanks for your comment! It was an awesome experience. I’d love to do it again! 🙂\nJess x"}

{"text": "Exit Sclater\nAcademic journal article\nBy Abrams, Richard\nShakespeare Studies , Annual 1998\nArticle excerpt\nKatherine Duncan-Jones's ascription of the Peter elegy to the Puritan minister William Sclater represents the most detailed attempt so far to locate an author other than Shakespeare. In her conclusion, though, Duncan-Jones announces that her case for Sclater is only tentative (\"my mind is not quite made up on this subject\").(1) Her belated irresolution, whose better part may well be honest doubt, serves also a rhetorical function. Broached at a juncture when her argument runs into serious trouble, Duncan-Jones's irresolution implies that finally it does not matter much who wrote the Elegy--if not Sclater, then some other nonentity--so long as we're agreed it wasn't Shakespeare. In view of Duncan-Jones's hesitation, and in the light of Donald Foster's newly presented evidence of the Peter family's anti-Puritan (and probably Catholic) convictions, my systematic effort in this essay to refute the Puritan Sclater's claim may smack of overkill. But a detailed argument deserves a detailed response, in the course of which I shall take the opportunity to correct several misassumptions about the Elegy that Duncan-Jones's essay puts in circulation.\nClearing ground for her attribution, Duncan-Jones offers aesthetic: impressions that would \"rule out any possibility of Shakespeare's authorship\" (192). For her, Shakespeare is a known quantity, \"our Shakespeare,\" and this is not the man. But Duncan-Jones's totalizing attempts to capture Shakespeare's essence are, for all their appeal to common sense, dated, reductive, and ideologically partial; they produce a Bard who would be unrecognizable to many readers. Observing that Shakespeare \"had just celebrated theatrical illusion brilliantly\" in The Tempest (194), Duncan-Jones cannot imagine him admiring the reserved, untheatrical Peter. She forgets Prospero's weary disengagement with his own theatrical artifice a,; \"rough magic.\" Similarly, as a playwright to the king, Duncan-Jones's snobbish Shakespeare would not get mixed up in some \"dingy project\" involving a \"fairly modest Devon gentry family.\" But Shakespeare was other things besides a court poet; he befriended publicans and sinners--witness his involvement in the Bellott-Mountjoy trial the very year of the Peter elegy. Nor would Duncan-Jones's Shakespeare become pious or \"preachy\" even in a funeral poem. But do we really know the conscience of the man who retired early from the stage, cut his adulterous son-in-law out of his will, and perhaps \"dyed a papist\"? Most incredibly, despite his celebrated powers of imaginative identification, Shakespeare, as \"a nongraduate,\" cannot \"have cared about the fact that William Peter was \"'double honor'd in degree'\" (195). This last assertion betrays a blindness that is pervasive in Duncan-Jones's argument. Just as she overlooks the possibility that certain features of the Elegy, such as its praise of Peter's achievements--which happen to have been scholastic--may be mandated by genre, so she fails to consider that W. S.'s disclaimer of \"Exercise in this kind\" may refer to the genre (\"kited\") of elegy, not broadly to poetic composition.\nIn proposing an alternative candidate to Shakespeare, Duncan-Jones constructs a profile of W. S. based on speculatively interpreted internal evidence, then locates a historical figure matching her profile. She begins with a strained demonstration that, as she maintained in a letter to the Times Literary Supplement (29 March 1996, p. 17), \"the world of the author and subject of the Elegy [are] almost wholly Devonian.\" Foster had demonstrated that W. S. favors standard London English, and Duncan-Jones fails to challenge this finding; nor does she herself argue that W. S. possessed an insider knowledge of Devon. Instead, her whole argument rests on the contention that the poem salutes four luminaries associated with the region. The Elegy's \"strongest poetic echoes\" are John Ford and Samuel Daniel, both West Country natives, who composed elegies on the death of a third West Country man, Sir Charles Blount, Lord Mountjoy. …"}

Moderna announced temporary reduction of supply several days ago, incurred the greatest loss last month. delivery have caused correction of values of certain pharmaceutical companies these days.\nThe undoubtedly good news is that according to a recent study, the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine is supposed to work against the UK coronavirus mutation. On the other hand, the information on delayed supplies of ordered vaccines to the European states is very negative news for the company’s stock.\nModerna has also seen its stock drop over the last month while, for example, the stocks of AstraZeneca, which has developed its vaccine in cooperation with the University of Oxford, have grown by 3.7% over the last month. The company’s value is on the rise also because scientists are working on the modification of its composition so that the vaccine works against new coronavirus mutations from the UK, the Republic of South Africa and Brazil.\nJohnson & Johnson may shuffle the market cards as it published information that just a single dose of its vaccine should be sufficient while all other above-mentioned vaccines require two doses. The company’s stock went up by more than 6% over the last 30 days because of the positive news.

While the review was on the mark for Busta Rhymes and Cypress Hill, both of whom put on very exciting and explosive sets, Coates fell quite short in his review of the Fugees and Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. The Fugees’ set showed that some acts should best remain in the studio, as they were flat and rarely in the groove. On the other hand, Ziggy Marley put forth an admirable effort in the face of a crowd that clearly did not come to see him. The Melody Makers provided us with some great classic covers of their father, while thrilling and motivating the crowd with an array of tunes from their four latest albums.\nDespite the fact that the whole evening endured through a poor sound system, I thought it was great that hiphop was allowed an avenue in which to showcase its talents.

{"text": "06/21/2018 / By Edsel Cook during the many decades it will take for their slower-than-light space ark to reach their destination.\nThe Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) team calls their design the “Evolving Asteroid Starship.” Their plan calls for the construction of a city-sized structure on the asteroid that can support a large, genetically viable population.\nIn a video of their proposed starship, propulsion is provided by an array of massive rockets pointed at multiple directions. The crew can maneuver their mobile asteroid base in any direction using these rockets.\nThe European Space Agency (ESA) is assisting the TU Delft team with regards to the extensive life support systems that will keep the crew of the Evolving Asteroid Starship alive. Angelo Vermeulen, leader of the project, says the technology must be able to sustain itself over the long trek to another star system.\nThe life support systems must also be able to adapt to any challenge or crisis that may take place. (Related: NASA’s OSIRIS-REX mission will examine samples from an asteroid, seeking clues to the origin of life.)\nThe TU Delft researchers are not just limiting themselves to developing the necessary technology. They are also considering the biological and social factors that will come into play during the epic journey.\nThey say the starship will be on its own during the trip, which could take as long as a century. There would be no returning to Earth for assistance, and neither would Earth be able to send help in time.\nThe former asteroid would need to evolve like a living organism, the researchers stress. It must be able to exploit any sources that it comes across in the vastness of space, such as other asteroids.\nIn an act that might seem like cannibalism, the starship can mine fuel and raw materials from these asteroids to keep itself running. The materials will be fed to 3D printers aboard the ship, which will print new parts to maintain existing structures and build new ones for a growing population.\nSuch a regenerative life support system would resemble MELiSSA, the Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative program of the ESA that is undergoing development by experts from 11 nations.\nMELiSSA replicates the capabilities of aquatic ecosystems found in nature. It is intended to turn carbon dioxide and organic waste into usable oxygen, food, and water.\nESA member nation Spain hosts a MELiSSA pilot plant in its Autonomous University of Barcelona. The prototype system is airtight, has multiple compartments, and is designed to be comfortable for its “crew” of rats.\nA “bioreactor” converts light into energy. Algae in the reactor produce oxygen for the rats, which provide carbon dioxide for the plants in return. The entire system is rated for months of continuous operation.\nThe MELiSSA’s bioreactor and its payload of oxygen-producing algae have already been tested aboard the International Space Station.\n“The MELiSSA concept gives the starship its baseline life support,” said Vermeulen. A biologist and artist, the TU Delft researcher is knowledgeable about the subject of life support. He commanded the HI-SEAS Mars analog habitat in Hawaii in 2013.\n“Meanwhile, we’re also integrating other technologies such as 3D printing and asteroid mining into our design,” he added.\nRead about other mind-boggling ideas about traveling to distant stars at Space.news.\nSources include:\nTagged Under: 3D printing, asteroids, biogenerative life support systems, interstellar, interstellar travel, science, Space, space exploration, space travel, Spacecraft, star systems, Starship"}
{"text": "Psychosis, manifested through formed visual hallucinations or minor hallucinations, is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The pathogenesis of psychosis in PD remains unclear; however, is possibly linked to structural and functional alterations in the hippocampus. To explore the role of hippocampus in psychosis, a detailed hippocampal subfield analysis was performed on PD patients with (PD-P) and without psychosis (PD-NP), and healthy controls (HC). An automated subfield parcellation was performed on T1 MRI images of 141 subjects (PD-P:42, PD-NP:51, and HC:48). The volumes of 12 subfields on each side were estimated and analyzed between the three groups and were corrected for multiple comparisons using false discovery rates. The volumes were also correlated to psychosis severity and specific neuropsychological tests and finally were employed to predict the psychosis severity in PD-P using a support vector regression (SVR) model. Compared to controls, PD-NP group did not demonstrate any significant differences; however, the PD-P group had significantly lower total hippocampal volume. Bilateral molecular layer, granule cell-dentate gyrus, left subiculum, and hippocampal tail and right CA3, CA4, and HATA illustrated significantly lower volumes, while bilateral hippocampal fissure demonstrated a significant widening. Compared to PD-NP, the PD-P group had higher volume of the bilateral hippocampal fissures. Finally, SVR could significantly predict the psychosis severity from all the subfield volumes. Our findings indicate a higher degeneration of specific hippocampal subfields in PD-P compared to controls and a trend of higher volume of hippocampal fissures in PD-P group than in PD-NP.\nJournal of Neural Transmission –"}
{"text": "The Competition Appeal Court (CAC) has recently dismissed Senwes' appeal against the Tribunal's finding, in February of this year, that Senwes had abused its dominant position in the grain storage and trading markets by engaging in a margin squeeze in contravention of the Act. A margin squeeze can occur when a vertically integrated firm (such as Senwes), which is dominant in the upstream market, supplies an essential input to downstream rivals at prices which prevent the latter from earning a viable margin.\nAs the Tribunal was called upon to determine whether Senwes' impugned conduct constituted an anti-competitive practice, it has not yet imposed a remedy on Senwes, since the imposition of a remedy was postponed pending the appeal to the CAC. In terms of the Act, however, firms found to have engaged in a margin squeeze may not be fined for a first time offence. In this regard, the CAC also rejected the Commission's cross-appeal against the Tribunal's decision that Senwes' conduct should be considered under section 8(c) of the Act, with the Commission arguing that the conduct should rather have been classified as a species of price discrimination and assessed under other provisions of the Act (which carry a fine for a first offence).\nChris Charter, Director Competition and\nPia Harvey, Senior Associate, Competition"}

Betterhelp Slogan\ni love being a talks based therapist since it gives me the opportunity to get in touch with people who might not otherwise have the ability to gain access to treatment i aim to have a really safe environment with my client for some clients that aren’t used to treatment it’s a nice segue you do not have to wait an entire week to come see your therapist the objective of treatment is to help a customer deal with coping skills so that later on they can make it by themselves\ntalk space is an app that enables you to do therapy …Betterhelp Slogan…like online like on with an app it allows you to do therapy with it that makes good sense it is a online service that AHS you get treatment rather than having to go in and speak to someone face to face you can do it online with the convenience of your phone or your laptop computer but I personally use the app and I wanted to offer you a little bit of my viewpoint about it since I hear with no customers you know I’m not sponsored by anyone and I wish to provide you my truthful viewpoint of it um and I think Store and after that you need to do a subscription service to it so you have to have it for a month I think or longer than that and what it permits you to do is it allows you to speak with a therapist without needing to find the therapist like in your area without needing to see and go what somebody personally you can do it in your house and it permits speak about it with your therapist sort of instantly and then I believe a nice part about that is if you have an idea type really useful for people with stress and anxiety or with depression with journalism of ideas it type of offers you a fast outlet for those things and perhaps they do not develop in in your mind as much as they might if you need to wait you understand a week to inform your therapist about something so I believe that’s really cool I actually like it for that I would state that’s a big pro um I would state a con related to that very same thing is that things simply take a lot longer to speak about if you select to text them about it so if I wish to state I’m feeling this way you know I think think I do not know what they call it they inspect that two times a day or a minimum of my therapist told me that she inspects hardest 2 times a day so in that regard you’re gon na.\nget about two reactions a day about like certainly if you’re most likely having like a crisis and they have a moment they can most likely help you however it’s not like they’re just lingering for you to message due to the fact that essentially however you might kind of talk about it like a normal discussion but with talk area you might say this and then it might be 5 hours later on and then they might say oh well this and then it’s sort of it takes a lot longer to talk similar to if you’re making plans with your buddies consider you know something that did trouble me a bit in the beginning yeah the one good idea to it seems to be a great bit more affordable than going in to talk to somebody it’s about $200 a month around there I could put the actual cost like here somebody it has to do with that rate a month to have the live sessions and the texting and that includes for that plan it is for half an hour live sessions each month so weekly you’ll get a half an hour live session so I imply it is less time that you’re most likely talking actually because like I said it’s just half an hour and if you go to therapy you’re probably going there for about an hour I would say so it’s less time for talking and however you get more assistance I would say so that’s type of nice the app itself the user interface is very easy to use I like it I don’t have truly any problems about it other than perhaps like you can’t see if they read it however like I guess that does not matter because like they’re gon na respond when they see it anyway so I do not understand that was simply something I thought about but that’s.\nWhat is wrong with Talkspace? Betterhelp Slogan\nnot extremely crucial but general I simulate the user interface and personally my experience with my therapist has been great so far um I imply it is I would say another con in my viewpoint would be that it might be tough opening up to these individuals just because you’re not there in person and you’re not face to face quite as much as you would be with normal normal therapy so I believe that it could be harder for individuals to open up to their therapists if you have trouble opening up to your therapist in the first place so that’s simply something to consider I did mean to have a little bit of trouble opening up so it’s been something that I’ve been thinking about but I’m not exactly sure how much that really is just me having an issue opening up to individuals or the actual app so I’m sorry that the lighting got odd and I literally can’t make a video without everything failing at once but back here so I simply wished to provide some like final thoughts I think I do not desire this to be too long of a video I type of wished to give a quick introduction problems that are appearance I believe it’s really helpful for like stress kind of things and I have not been having a lot of like that kind of thing like I have actually like been simply having a great deal of like think you’re not little but like smaller things than like my general stress and anxiety and like what triggers me and everything and like depressive ideas so um yeah I imply I think I must’ve stated that earlier but I do have actually anxiety like generalized stress and anxiety and then I do not I’m not like detected here so basically I think it’s actually great if you you know can’t make it to visits if you have a really busy job or something like that I think likewise another truly fantastic actually terrific candidate to utilize talk space would be somebody who’s taking a trip a lot so or maybe Slogan\npersonally discovered a therapist that I like around here and I also do not like insurance coverage is actually spotty with this so it depends upon if you ‘d be guaranteed anyway but like I need to work out some insurance stuff before I even like consider this so I imply I think it’s a great service I have actually seen a great deal of other sponsored interviews or like I’ve seen a number of other sponsor interviews for talk space and then there’s another one that a youtuber I really like I see all of her videos and she talked about it but I don’t remember what that one was called I can place it here again which’s like something comparable so if you wish to check out that a person to compare them the reason I ended up getting talk area was because my sweetheart was sort of pushing me to do something to do therapy since he knew that I was going through a great deal of stress so so he sort of was the one who was stating hey you ought to actually speak with somebody and he learnt about talk area therefore that was the one that he truly recommended me to use that he for he’s heard a lot of like advantages about but again like it’s really like spoken about a lot through sponsorships which’s practically the only method I’ve ever become aware of it I haven’t really become aware of it unn sponsored and I’m probably gon na like fine on sponsored reviews as I go to publish this but yeah I believe it’s I think it’s a fantastic service for what it is I believe it’s not for everybody though um and I think like I was type of beginning to state before if you have much deeper problems if you have bad anxiety if you have bad depression I believe that it is necessary to be seeing someone personally specifically if it’s you know things that it’s simply it’s it’s more difficult to discuss more extensive concerns there’s something I’ve kind of observed like clearly these are deep.\nconcerns because they resemble things of your mind and they’re things that are like worrying you or things that are making depressed or distressed but I tend to find that it’s a little bit much better for simply more I’m really nervous about beginning a new task I am really anxious about you know finishing going to school you know stuff like that that’s not really like existential things um but like I said if you are experiencing more simply you’re going through some stuff then I believe it would be terrific um it likewise depends upon like how comfortable you are like speaking to a phone like I understand that that sounds odd but like do you video chat with your pals do you you understand what I indicate since if you don’t then I feel like it’s gon na be really weird like you holding up a phone or like speaking with your laptop computer because it’s gon na be like this odd like synthetic thing but like if you’re used to that then it’s type of like okay whatever like this is regular that’s something I discovered I do talk on facetiming a bit so I seem like I’m type of utilized to it however I felt like when I was doing it this

{"text": "John Ryan, a cardiologist with University of Utah Health, never thought he would see his work reflected in his daughter’s holiday program. That is, before he heard her speak her line. For her part in the school’s production of “The Grinch,” Ryan’s daughter had to say, “But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.”\n“We’ve all heard the Grinch story, but what people may not realize is that there is a condition that causes the heart to get smaller,” said Ryan. “It’s called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and it’s common form of heart failure as people get older.”\nHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction happens when walls of the heart thicken and become too stiff to allow the organ to fill with blood. The heart then doesn’t fill with enough blood, and therefore doesn’t pump out enough blood to maintain the needs of the body. While the heart may not look smaller on the outside, the inside chambers do get physically smaller making it so the heart is doing the work of a much smaller organ.\n“Patients with this type of heart failure may find themselves easily fatigued, with shortness of breath or chest discomfort,” said Ryan. “It may not only affect them physically, but mentally as well. They may find themselves depressed, or angry, or downright ‘Grinchy.’”\nThere are things people can do to reduce their risk of HFpEF. Keeping blood pressure in check is a good start. The majority of people with HFpEF suffer from hypertension. Maintaining a healthy weight, getting quality sleep and keeping conditions like diabetes and anemia in check can also help.\nChristmas cheer isn’t enough to help the hearts of people with HFpEF but there are lots of treatments available. University of Utah Health has a clinic dedicated just to the treatment of this condition. “We work to get the heart to relax more so that it can fill with the proper amount of blood,” said Ryan. “We also have several clinical trials we are running, and work with multidisciplinary teams to find other interventions to help hearts work more effectively.”\nWhile the heart won’t get bigger with proper treatment the increased blood flow will help patients feel like their heart has grown three sizes. Of course, you wouldn’t want your heart to actually suddenly expand. “That could make the heart too large,” said Ryan. “That would in another form of heart failure called dilated cardiomyopathy. The Grinch doesn’t want that!”"}

{"text": "Texts for this sermon: Psalm 6 and Matthew 1:18-25\n* A note about Scripture readings: We’ve recently decided to start reading our Sunday morning passages from Eugene Peterson’s translation known as “The Message.” People often find this text more conversational, more colloquial, and easier to read and understand.*.\n- Everyone has a favorite Christmas story.\n- Books: Santa’s Favorite Story[1], The Night Before Christmas[2]\n- Movies: A Christmas Story[3], Miracle on 34th Street[4]\n- Even story-songs: “Frosty the Snowman”[5]\n- Christmas stories = important\n- Familiar words/cadences provide intimacy → help prepare hearts, spirits, minds for the season\n- Bring to mind memories of times past when we’ve experienced the story (hearing, seeing, singing, etc.)\n- And as we begin this year’s Advent journey together, we’re joining our stories – the individual narratives of our daily lives – together with the Grand Story.\n- Christian Story\n- Story of Salvation\n- Story of God’s greatest gift in the birth of Christ\n- And as we once again approach the beginning of this story, we’re going to do so through the lens of yet another story – a powerful Christmas tale written by Susan Wojciechowski: The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey.[6]\n- Before we begin reading → copy of the book at church\n- Catch up if you miss a Sunday\n- Experience the beautiful illustrations of P.J. Lynch\n- Just promise me you won’t read ahead and spoil the ending for yourself! J\n- And so, we begin … [read pt. 1 of Jonathan Toomey, pp. 2-9]\n- “The children in the village called him Mr. Gloomy.” Friends, among the glitz and glamour, the brightness and baubles of the holiday season, we are reminded that not all stories begin with an easy smile.\n- Taught from an early age that stories are supposed to have a happy beginning\n- Disney = huge perpetrator of this notion – not many of their wildly popular “Princess” stories begin darkly\n- Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, the Little Mermaid, Cinderella, even Elsa and Anna from recent hit “Frozen” → feature happy, beautiful, blessed little princesses … until that dark wicked witch/queen/evil enchantress butts in\n- Basic make-up of just about any sitcom or romantic comedy plotline or even most action movies → things are great and wonderful and blissful … until they’re not\n- These are all stories that start off with a chipper, “Once upon a time …” But what happens when the beginning of a story is closer to …\n- Once upon a hardship?\n- Once upon a misunderstanding?\n- Once upon a heartache?\n- These may not be the bedtimes stories that we like to share with our children at night, but we cannot help but acknowledge that sometimes, these are the stories that play out in our lives. These are our realities. These are our “once upon a time”s.\n- In fact, all of our stories today – our Scripture stories and Jonathan Toomey’s story – get off to a rocky start, a less-than-perfect beginning.\n- Jonathan Toomey’s story speaks of a surly, ill-tempered man whose life has been ravaged by tremendous loss and heartache\n- Man living in grief\n- Man living in pain\n- Man living in self-imposed isolation\n- Scripture story of Joseph – rocky beginning, too\n- Joseph’s first and most in-depth introduction in Scripture\n- Only other account we have of Jesus’ birth (Luke) – simply named as Mary’s betrothed[7]\n- As far as context goes, the text that we read today is what kicks off Jesus’ birth narrative according to Matthew. The only thing that appears before it in the gospel is that long list of Jesus’ lineage (“Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob” all the way down to Joseph, Mary, and Jesus).\n- And what a difficult introduction this is for Joseph! Imagine what this must have been like for him.\n- Engaged to Mary – text: Joseph discovered she was pregnant.[8] → I don’t know about you, but I can’t help but wonder how Joseph found out. Did Mary tell him? Was she starting to show? Did he hear a rumor?\n- However it happened, Joseph discovered Mary’s delicate situation, and being “chagrined but noble” (as our text put it), Joseph “determined to take care of things quietly so Mary would not be disgraced.”[9]\n- Hear Joseph’s pain in this\n- Hear Joseph’s discomfort in this\n- Rocky, rocky start\n- And we can sympathize with both Jonathan and Joseph’s rocky starts, can’t we? We want things to be happy, to be peaceful, to be comfortable and acceptable and copacetic. We don’t like conflict. We don’t like pain. We don’t like hardship and struggle. But sometimes that’s where we land.\n- Hear frustration and distress caused by this predicament voiced in Ps – text: Please, God … treat me nice for change … Can’t you see I’m black and blue … My bed has been floating forty days and nights on the flood of my tears. My mattress is soaked, soggy with tears.[10] → Haven’t we all had moments … days … weeks … maybe even years like this?!\n- So here we find ourselves at the beginning of another Advent journey – a journey during a season which is marked by a certain amount of darkness, both in terms of the church calendar and of nature itself.\n- Darkness of the shortening days and lengthening nights\n- Darkness of the world waiting for the birth of a Savior\n- Darkness echoed in the words of our ps: I can’t sing in your choir if I’m buried in some tomb! I’m tired of all this – so tired.[12]\n- And yet, in the face of this darkness, despite whatever rocky beginnings our stories may include, there is a growing light – the light of the coming Christ Child.\n- theologian Barbara Brown Taylor’s new book: Learning to Walk in the Dark[13] → addresses idea of finding God in those dark places\n- See God’s brightness shining in the ps: My requests have all been granted, my prayers are answered.[15]\n- See God’s brightness shining in Joseph’s story:.” … Then Joseph woke up. He did exactly what God’s angel commanded in the dream.[16]\n- And I promise you there is light in Jonathan Toomey’s story, too … but I’m not going to give that part away. For that, you’ll just have to come back next week.\n- Waiting for the rest of Jonathan Toomey’s story = appropriate because sometimes we have to wait for the light\n- Difficult in our culture of instant gratification – answers and shopping and communication and just about anything we want literally right at our fingertips\n- But that’s what this season of Advent is about: waiting and watching as that pin-prick of light grows ever brighter and ever closer in the darkness.\n- Light of hope\n- Light of salvation\n- Light of Christ\n- Amen.\n[1] Hisako Aoki.

{"text": "Furthermore\nBack to school Much to the relief of the parents of Chicago's 350,000 public school children, striking teachers ended their seven-day walkout Wednesday. They apparently were mollified by the prospect of a 17 percent pay increase over the next four years, even if they're troubled by the somewhat tougher evaluation provisions contained in the agreement. The toughest problem remains to be addressed, though: How can a school system facing a $1 billion deficit next year pay its teachers even more, without putting the arm on taxpayers? The city should not rule out a strike by taxpayers, many of whom will be unable or unwilling to pay the higher taxes — and may even flee the city for tax-friendlier Indiana or Wisconsin."}

From the Bloomberg story:\nPaulson said he judges that the yen reflects the economic``fundamentals'' of the Japanese economy rather than any sort of``intervention'' by Japanese government officials in thecurrency markets. Japan's authorities have refrained fromselling their currency for almost three years, he noted. ``There has been no intervention in the yen since March of2004,'' he said. ``I don't think there's been verbalintervention for almost a year. I don't like verbal intervention.''\nHe is talking to Congress...so of course he is going to say he is watching the yen. However, the substance of his remarks is that he knows why USD/JPY is up here, and he doesn't have a problem with it.\nThe $/yen sell-off, therefore, represents an opportunity.\nMacro man therefore buys $20 million USD/JPY for the beta plus carry trade at 120.89 spot basis, which is 120.43 to the new 1 month forward date, 02 March.\nSeparately, Macro Man was filled at 6.96 in USD/SEK."}

With the initial release of the S660 and the NSX, it was only a matter of time before Honda would also revive the iconic S2000 where it would fit right in between the line up.\nThe latest news regarding the upcoming S2000 is that it would be powered by a new 2.0-liter engine that's mated to an 8-speed dual clutch automatic gear. This somewhat aligns to previous rumors which state it would be powered by the Civic Type R's 2.0L turbo engine.\nThe new engine however will reportedly be co-developed with Mitsubishi, and will feature an electrically driven supercharger that puts the power output of the new engine around the 320PS mark. Details regarding a manual transmission have yet to surface.\nThere is also no word if there will be a hybrid version but we previously mentioned that the new S2000 could get a hybrid option.\nWith the S2000 expected to be unveiled sometime in 2018 either at the Paris Auto Show or the Los Angeles Auto Show, only images of possible patents could give us speculations regarding what would the new S2000 would possibly look like. We did report, however, that Honda recently filed a patent on what looked to be a baby NSX. Called the 'ZSX', it will apparently be available in two body styles; coupe and cabriolet.\nIt will only be a matter of time until Honda releases a concept to showcase what the production model would be like.\nSource: Motor1 and Car and Driver"}
{"text": "When.\nShare This:\nRovi Porter, a member of Kalani High's Class of 2018 who is heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall, wrote this piece for the Hawaii DOE's Educational Leadership Institute program over the summer. Her story is also featured in the August 2018 edition of Education Update..\nIt’s hard to believe now, but school was a place that I dreaded at first.\nLike most kids, I remember thinking kindergarten was pretty traumatizing. I cried every morning when my mom dropped me off at school. I didn’t understand why I had to leave the comforts of home.\nBut school quickly became one of my favorite places to be. I began to enjoy it so much that I insisted on being as early as possible. In fact, my favorite days were when my sister Teresa had a test at her high school, because that meant I could be at school as early as 6:30 in the morning.\nSchool was more than just a place to be for six hours a day. Over the years it ultimately helped shape me into a better person, someone who values education and seizes every opportunity to keep growing.\nThroughout my years in public school — from Hokulani Elementary to Niu Valley Middle and Kalani High — I was fortunate to have engaging teachers who made personal connections. Every one of my teachers had their own style of teaching and getting through to students, but one thing they all had in common was compassion. They taught me more than a textbook ever could.\nMy first-grade teacher, Ms. Finnegan, taught me to challenge myself. I remember when she asked if I wanted to be in the advanced reading group. To be honest, I initially agreed because my friend was in the group. But my decision impressed Ms. Finnegan so much that she told my mother how proud she was that I was willing to take on the challenge. Her praise of me encouraged me to keep taking on challenges.\n(Photo: Rovi Porter at Kalani High School’s graduation on May 22, 2018, at the Neal Blaisdell Center, at top with Principal Mitchell Otani, and with her family.)\nMr. Pottenger, my fifth-grade computer lab teacher, taught me to be more outgoing and to expand my interests. I remember one morning he asked me to be a part of the FIRST Lego League (FLL) team the school was forming. I couldn’t resist because Mr. Pottenger was always a charismatic and fun person to be around.\nThroughout the season we built and tested robots and had to design and present a skit before judges. Being in skits was outside of my comfort zone but Mr. Pottenger’s commitment to us and his enthusiasm was infectious. In our presentation replicating the human body, I was the proudest red blood cell.\nOverall my elementary years were fairly comfortable. Everyone was always so nice and caring. But it was time for me to advance to middle school, where I wouldn’t know anyone.\nI was initially terrified to embark on life as a middle-schooler in a new community. But I was pleasantly surprised to find countless supportive teachers and friends who helped ease the transition. My middle school teachers enhanced my curiosity while providing me stability.\nAs I moved on to high school, I learned the value of getting involved with school activities and extracurricular opportunities.\nBefore I unlocked that door, I remember I would sit on a bench and watch Netflix until soccer practice. Then one day my counselor Mrs. Yoshida called me in and encouraged me to apply for the Pacific and Asian Affairs Council (PAAC) Global Leadership Program.\nThe program for high school students is designed to groom future leaders and global citizens. It helped me gain new perspectives on world affairs and I even got to travel to China as part of my project on the invasive little fire ant.\nMy fellow participants and I found the experience so beneficial that we created a PAAC Club at our school.\nAfter that, I began getting involved with more activities and pretty soon it seemed like there was never enough time for me to do everything that I wanted to do.\nI played soccer and ran cross country and track. I was part of the Robotics Club, Math League, Science Club and orchestra. I participated in the Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders Fellows program and the Island Airs Explorers Program.\nAll the while, I took rigorous courses, including AP Statistics, Calculus, Physics and English during my senior year. This was all manageable because of the strong foundation my teachers gave me.\nThe summer before my senior year at Kalani, I took a college-level logic course at Duke University. The university’s 3-D printing lab piqued my interest and I began going in there to create small projects.\nOne day I saw a guy who was designing a prosthetic hand for a patient from the university’s hospital. The device itself wasn’t particularly fancy but watching their interaction and the patient’s reactions helped me decide what I want to do after high school.\nI’m planning to study biomedical engineering at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\nThe biomedical field combines my love of human interaction and logical thinking. While other engineering fields allow you to create functional things, you don’t get to see the reaction of the people using them.\nI never could have imagined all of the opportunities I’ve had to grow and improve myself over the past 13 years. All of the competitions, trips and events I was able to participate in were made possible through the support and mentorship of my teachers and administrators.\nI hope I can make them proud as I continue my journey.\nView all FAQ's"}
{"text": "CSSI Testing Strengthens Zetron’s Position as Leading Provider of P25-Compliant Dispatch Systems\nRedmond, WA, U.S.A., Feb. 10, 2011 – Zetron today announced that the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Project 25 (P25) Console Subsystem Interface (CSSI) used in Zetron’s Advanced Communication (Acom) System performed successfully in separate interoperability tests with EADS CORP25 and Auria Wireless AuraNet networks. This reinforces Zetron’s position as a leading developer and provider of end-to-end P25-compliant console systems.\n“Although the full suite of test documents for TIA has yet to be ratified, our tests were written according to the extensive TIA interface specifications that do exist,” said Zetron product manager, Daniel Oliphant. “The tests with EADS and Auria Wireless confirm Acom’s ability to interface simultaneously to multiple radio subsystems through the TIA-specified CSSI or DFSI [Digital Fixed Station Interface] for trunked and conventional P25 applications.”\nThe success of these tests has implications for customers and the industry as a whole. Console and network systems that utilize the open-standard CSSI are able to work together without requiring proprietary interface protocols. This not only gives customers more choice in their selection of dispatch console systems and radios, but also encourages healthy competition among manufacturers.\n“In our commitment to support P25 open standards, we will continue to engage and test with network manufacturers who have developed a CSSI or DFSI that meets the released TIA specifications,” said Zetron president and CEO, Ellen O’Hara.”\nAbout Zetron\nFor over 30 years, Zetron has been a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions for public safety, transportation, utilities, industry, manufacturing, healthcare, and business. With offices in Redmond, Washington, U.S.A.; Hampshire, England, U.K.; Brisbane, Australia; and numerous field locations; Zetron supports a worldwide network of authorised resellers and distributors. Zetron is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kenwood Corporation. For more information visit:.\n"}

{"text": "When I entered basic training, I was warned never to volunteer for anything or respond to a request for volunteers. It was common for a drill sergeant to “ask” unwitting recruits for “volunteers” for duties that appeared to be easier than what was originally planned. Invariably, these jobs never turned out to easy. In time we learned to avoid eye contact with the inviting sergeant and stand way in the back of the formation to hide and avoid being “volunteered.” Matthew’s (Matthew 4:12-23 )account of how Peter, Andrew, James and John immediately responded to Jesus invitation reminded me of my time in basic training. I’m always amazed as to how quickly the disciples dropped everything and just followed Jesus. I wonder how I would respond to a request from a stranger who asked me to stop what I was doing and follow him. I think I would have tried to avoid eye contact, and if asked to volunteer, make some excuse or at least ask for some time to think about it. After all, how could I possibly stop what I’m doing right now? It's too important. Maybe later.\nCould we drop everything, leave our families and communities, and follow someone we didn’t even know? Both Matthew and Mark emphasize the word “immediately to describe the new recruits’ snap decision. Snap decisions are not always good, but sometimes they are. I think we all have made snap decision that turned out really well. Don’t we sometimes wonder what prompted those decisions?\nAnd so what does Matthew’s Gospel mean to us? Does it mean leaving behind the promise of a steady income in a successful family business? Or, maybe its letting go of things that hold us bound - as symbolized by the fisherman’s nets in our story. It can be any manner of things and will vary from one person to another. While Jesus does not ask everyone to leave everything behind, no one can be a disciple and follow His call to repent without leaving something behind, or without letting go of the nets that keep us ensnared.\nJesus is calling us to a new way of life and asking us to “repent,” or turn the focus of our lives to being God centered. At its most basic level, discipleship means saying “yes” to Jesus and following him wherever he leads. There are times we try to run away and go back to where we were before but like the young recruit trying to be invisible, we can’t hide in the back out of sight. Jesus is relentless, and as often as we try to run and hide, he will find us.\nWith regard to “snap decisions” or responding to what we are inspired to do, John Powell writes times and “yes’ in the darkness of winter nights. (John Powell, S.J., The Christian Vision, The Truth That Sets Us Free, p147)"}
