The rule, which aims to protect downwind states from pollution emitted outside their borders, will help states comply with a 2008 smog standard that limits ozone pollution to 75 parts per billion, the agency says.
Beginning in May 2017, the new rule will affect 2,875 electric generating units at 886 coal, gas and oil power plants in 22 states. The agency says these power plants can achieve the required NOx emissions reductions using existing, cost-effective technology.
This rule and other power-sector regulations are expected to cut summertime NOx emissions by 80,000 tons — a 20 percent reduction from 2015 levels, the EPA says. It estimates the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will provide annual benefits of up to $880 million in 2017 while costing the industry $68 million to comply with the rule.
“Today’s update builds on the decades of success under the Clean Air Act that has led to significant cuts in nitrogen oxide emissions from upwind states that affect their downwind neighbors,” said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, in a statement. “The common-sense actions that power plants can take to quickly and affordably reduce this harmful pollution will help protect the health and lives of millions of Americans.”
The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule was created under the “good neighbor” provision of the Clean Air Act, and finalized in 2011.
The good neighbor provision requires states — or, as a backstop, the EPA — to address air pollution that crosses states’ borders and affects the ability of downwind states to attain clean air standards. Under this provision, states develop state implementation plans while the EPA plays a backstop role by issuing federal implementation plans if a state fails to submit an approvable plan.
The US Supreme Court upheld the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule in 2014. At the time, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity called the ruling “dangerous and costly.”
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity did not respond to a request for comment on the updates to the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The American Coal Council said it had no comment on the final rule.
While environmental groups had hoped the final rule would reflect a more stringent 70 ppb ozone benchmark set by a different EPA smog rule issued last October, the Environmental Defense Fund praised the final rule for its strong clean air protections. “Today’s new and improved Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will help reduce harmful smog pollution from power plants,” said EDF senior attorney Graham McCahan.

Northwest/KLM sent me an email the other day to let me know they'd changed my travel plans. They thought I might enjoy a nice little side trip to the Detroit airport - it eliminated 6 hours I would have spent in DC, but I got to experience the magnificent light show tunnel with atmospheric music that connects Terminal C to Terminal A. Most people on the moving walkways were too tripped out by the rainbow lights to actually walk (myself included).
For me it's a strange suspension in the time-less space of travel. I flew backwards to fly forwards - at least that's how my mind is reading it. A DC-Amsterdam flight would have left at 6:30 PM. I took a one hour flight backwards to arrive in Amsterdam at precisely the same time. Such is life.
Nothing really changes, and I arrive in Entebbe at 9 PM local time. I absolutely cannot wait.

In an amazing feat, the chaotic channel chatters at Twitch Plays Pokémon have succeeded in completing Pokémon Crystal in just thirteen days. That’s all sixteen badges, plus a win against the Johto League, rival Silver, and finally Red – and not the Red of the canon Pokémon games, but Red of Twitch Plays, with the iconic team of Zapdos, Lapras, Nidoking, Venomoth, Omastar and Pigeot. As with the first Twitch Plays, a wealth of fanworks has been created around the new team and their individual personalities, their struggles and their losses. If you missed the action, here are ten fancomics which together tell the story of Gold’s – and his Pokémon’s – journey across Johto and Kanto, all the while struggling with the legends of their predecessors and a constant stream of contradictory feedback from “the voices”. (I might have sneaked in an epilogue as well 😉 )
Posts tagged ‘Reddit’
Last entry I talked about the evolution of “crowdthings” – such as crowdsourcing and crowdwisdom – which bring together the vast amounts of people connected by the Internet to achieve a complex task, or even just to carry out a simple task in an unforeseen way. Now we’re seeing the power of crowdsourcing in a crisis as the online public helps out in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
How are they able to do that? The answer lies in a website called Tomnod, which allows its users to scour footage captured by satellite imaging company DigitalGlobe in a bid to locate anything that might be of interest to the search parties. Users helping with the search for flight MH370, which vanished without a trace four days ago, have the option of tagging what they think could be wreckage, life rafts, an oil slick or “anything interesting or suspicious” in 3,200 km² of satellite imagery, in which each pixel represents 50cm of space. The site gives visual examples of the items in question, in order to clue users in about what to look for.

Maths is taught daily following the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum for Mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
Lower Key Stage 2: Years 3 and 4
The principal focus of teaching in lower Key Stage 2 is to ensure that pupils become increasingly fluent with whole numbers and the four operations, including number facts and the concept of place value. This should ensure that pupils develop efficient written and mental methods and perform calculations accurately with increasingly large whole numbers.
Upper Key Stage 2: Years 5 and 6
The principal focus of mathematics teaching in upper Key Stage 2 is to ensure that pupils extend their understanding of the number system and place value to include larger integers. This should develop the connections that pupils make between multiplication and division with fractions, decimals, percentages and ratio.

The beautiful and spectacular blooms of Magnolia can brighten any Spring day.The pretty pink and white flowers are eye catching but they last only for a short while. So chase your gloom away and enjoy these pretty blooms.
The sun was setting on an unusually balmy March evening as we drove to DC. The cherry trees along the tidal basin were laden with buds eagerly waiting to bloom. Over the growing darkness the light of the sun was melting and dissolving in the dark waters of the Potomac. People walking along the tidal basin and the cherry trees lined along the bank seemed like silhouettes. We took our camera out and clicked away, capturing the fading dusk and the famous landmarks over the growing darkness.

Seeing New York for the first time (and, for some reason, Brooklyn in particular) felt like stepping into… a fictional world. New York is completely unlike anywhere else. It’s a place that is commonly experienced by the rest of the world through fiction (or news events that are, for me at least, usually remote enough to be considered on a similar level).
NYC is Sesame St. Brooklyn, with its fire-escaping apartment buildings, fire hydrants, rubbish-strewn streets, yellow school buses and kids playing in the road brought on this impression on forcibly and immediately. It is Gotham City (albeit a toned-down version these days and more brightly lit). It is the world of Taxi Driver, King Kong, Annie Hall, Ghostbusters – countless other films (and novels and works of art but film & television are the most visually complete and culturally insinuating). Fantastically unlikely things happen in New York.
Take the subway. New Yorkers take it every day and probably nothing that happens down there surprises them anymore. But New York is so culturally full that it oozes out of every crack. An elderly man on the platform playing steel drums to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean (kindly take a moment to imagine that). Three guys jumping onto the L train with whatever the 21st century version of a boombox is and breakdancing on the moving train: climbing and swinging and flipping from the railings, spinning on the floor. A woman plays Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory beautifully on her violin. Little bronze figures (the art of Tom Otterness) pop up in corners around Manhattan stations – figures crawling under gates or running hand in hand. I am certain that mysteries and inexplicable events are happening down half of New York’s shaded side streets.
[Post-script: I just found out about Music Under New York but that makes the subway no less magical.]
I recently read E. B. White’s Here Is New York, which is a beautiful beautiful piece of writing and my favourite of his essays that I’ve encountered so far. It is a perfect introduction to New York, capturing its atmosphere and quirks with incredible perspicacity. Sixty-four years on, what he describes is still New York.
“A poem compresses much in a small space and adds music, thus heightening its meaning. The city is like poetry: it compresses all life, all races and breeds, into a small island and adds music and the accompaniment of internal engines.”
Aside from the surreality of arriving in a place that is, to my mind, largely a work of fiction, there are enough surprising little cultural differences to make one acutely aware that you are in fact, a stranger in this land.
Before coming here, I had thought that Australian and American culture were similar enough that the idea of “culture shock” never really occurred to me. We are certainly surrounded with enough American culture and entertainment for it to have a certain degree of familiarity. But I was quite wrong.
Perhaps the disconcert is amplified by the fact that I am not an experienced traveller, and that I’m travelling alone. I don’t remember experiencing it when travelling with my family (perhaps because all the hard parts were left up to my parents). When I went to Peru on a school trip for three weeks, we expected it to be vastly different, and it was. However, the security of being surrounded by people from home provides enough comforting familiarity to lessen culture shock.
In New York, culture shock manifested in a few different ways. First, there are the people.
And boy, are there a lot of people.
I really didn’t expect to feel so disconcerted being surrounded by all the various kinds of American accent. Getting off the plane at LA before heading to NY, the prerecorded voice over the loudspeaker was jarringly and surprisingly wrong.
I also wasn’t prepared for the ethnic diversity. I know, it’s New York – there are people from everywhere. So many people all jammed in together. It really brought home the fact that Australia is nowhere near as “multicultural” as we think it is. The jump from South Melbourne, a very white neighbourhood, to Bushwick, which has that interesting mix of immigrants and young artists, also took some getting used to.
Then there are the minor cultural norms that can provide daily moments of little embarrassments or confusions. Assumed knowledge includes: how to catch the subway; when and how to tip; coffee ‘to go’ or ‘to stay’; different words for how you want your coffee or your eggs; ‘uptown’ and ‘downtown’; nickels, dimes and quarters. Small visual jolts of difference include the garbage bags lining the streets (and the associated smell in the heat); old people sitting on crates or stoops outside during the evenings; the hand and walk pedestrian lights; fire escapes, the architecture. Not just seeing the famous landmarks like the Chrysler Building or the Empire State, but the ordinary buildings that have such a unique style, like nowhere else in the world.
New York has also been a pretty intense place to start in the U.S. because it is the most of everything. It is the most populated city in the U.S. and the most densely populated, it has the largest transit system and it supposedly contains the best in every field you can think of. It certainly contains the most dreams. New York is a pretty overwhelming place.
Overwhelmedness was a bit of a theme for the first week or so. The muchness of everything. All of the people with all of their dreams all trying to work hard to get somewhere. Seeing so much art in so many museums. Being hit again by the sheer multitude of people and art and books and information. Feeling so small that a little part of me considered becoming a hermit for the rest of my life, just to escape it all and pretend the world was no larger than a room.
…Thankfully, that feeling didn’t last.
Bring it on, life.

This week the prompt is simply to describe your character without using a picture. It sounds pretty simple, right?
Yeah, no. It's actually a lot harder than I thought, especially since I usually use pictures to help me out and to showcase my lovely characters. Thus, I'm taking this week's A Novel Idea as a challenge, so I'm not going to highlight just one character, but one character from all the current WIPs (which is probably a lot). So if you haven't been introduced to some of them, here you go!
From Killian's perspective
"She wasn’t much to look at, Killian decided... a girl, not much younger than himself, shackled to a chair at the table. This was the supposed pyrate trader? There wasn’t much to her. She was tall and skinny with pale, smooth skin and short, dark hair. She kept her head bowed, her bangs hanging in front of her eyes. She didn’t move when they entered... Her eyes--which caught Killian off guard--were wide and bright, lit up by some kind of wonder. He’d only seen a few people that resembled the Crimson citizens with their contrasting hair and skin and their odd eye shape. And those had been passing visitors, never up close and personal. And none had bright eyes as if they were from Wisteria instead."
Serana (Glimpses of Stars)
From Leezander's perspective
"The girl looked up with wide eyes. The color of stars spun in her irises, in and out, sparkling and shining. He couldn’t help but stare. Her face was smooth, complexion free of blemish except for the thin scar from the corner of her lips to her chin. Her hair, a deep shade of brown with a few streaks of red and blue mingling near her ear fell over her cheeks...He noticed her hands, which were held near her stomach, but at an odd position, angled down by the wrists. Scars, almost hidden by her shirt sleeves, brushed around her wrists. The skin on her fingers chafed; her knuckles were ripped. She smiled, her thin lips curving up so her cheek bones reached the edges of her eyes. Those starry eyes pulled at him, tugging at his gut."
Recto (The Secret Library Society)
From Arthur's perspective
"He stared up at the young man, who was no older than his brother John. Dark hair, dark eyes, dark clothes, the man glowered down at him with fire in his eyes...He spoke slowly, enunciating each word with the rumbling of his voice. It was deep, but it didn’t sound scary or mysterious; it reminded Arthur of John’s voice...His eyes were dark, almost black. They gleamed. He wore a long, dark trench coat with a vest and tie beneath, all black. Even the gloves on his hands were black, though Arthur didn’t know why he wore them inside or at all...The man was clean-shaven, but his hair flopped across his forehead in waves of dark shades...The man half-smiled, his eyes glittering. Arthur could almost see flames rise up in his pupils."
From Adam's Perspective
"Her uncontrollable giggles settled down. She lay there, trying to breathe normally. Her face was red from running and laughing. Her hair was messy, and she was covered in sand. Yet the bright smile on her face, and her sparkling eyes made her beautiful."
Of course, I have many other stories, but I'll leave you with these four characters. Tell me about your characters!

European Society for Ecological Economics Newsletter Winter 2012
This is a hot topic, but not because of fervent research activity. On the contrary: there isn’t any ecological-economic work on illegal immigration that I know of. It is a burning political issue though and a disaster of humanitarian proportions. Hundreds of people drown every year in the Mediterranean Sea trying to reach Europe.
Ecological economics has had traditionally very little to say on immigration. Unfortunately when it does say something it tends to be over-simplistic. Normally it takes implicitly the form of immigration as a variable that increases P in the IPAT equation. Since a high I is bad for the environment, well, illegal immigration must be bad too. Some go even further and take Garret Hardin´s “lifeboat ethics” literally. According to this view each nation is a lifeboat with a maximum I and hence a maximum P; unwelcome immigrants are the extra P that should stay out of the lifeboat. In fact this is what happens in Europe where kids from Africa drown without lifeboats in the middle of the sea.
And sadly, prominent ecological economists on the other side of the Atlantic let their names feature in the advisory board of the euphemistically called “Carrying Capacity Network”, an organization whose extreme anti-immigrant rhetoric would shock most members of ESEE.
Fortunately, not all ecological economists fantasize national lifeboats. Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen for one had called for the banning of borders and visas and for a right of free movement to all. This is an idea repeated by Joan Martinez-Alier on various occasions, and taken up by the 2nd International Conference for Degrowth in Barcelona in 2010. What could critical, social ecological economists offer to a better understanding of the unfolding tragedy of illegal immigration?
A first task in which research has much to offer is the dismantling of the lifeboat myth. NGR´s proposal reminds us that if there is a lifeboat, this is a planet Earth, and not any artificially bounded nation-state.
Let me offer here a few hypotheses that could be empirically tested. First, assuming that one accepts a global convergence of incomes as a noble goal, it is better if poorer people get richer and consume more in richer countries, than in their home countries. Richer, more developed countries use resources more efficiently per unit of income. For Earth as a whole it is better if Chinese get richer as immigrants in the U.S., than as Chinese in China.
Second, impoverished nations are much more vulnerable to climate extremes. From a climate change adaptation perspective and a global welfare viewpoint, it is better if more people migrate to rich nations and are protected by the better infrastructures there, than if they stay exposed in their own nations.
Third, impoverished nations tend to put more pressure on local environmental resources. There is a positive feedback between poverty, social marginalization and pressure upon marginalized ecosystems. If some of the people putting marginal pressures can escape by becoming taxi-drivers in New York, so be it, their pressure upon Central Park is likely to be smaller.
Fourth, immigrants of non-Western origin tend on average to live more convivially than their Western counterparts. A large extended family often shares a single housing unit. The household IPAT per immigrant family member is much lower than that of their individualistic Western hosts. Environmental impact per unit of worker is likely to be lower the higher the proportion of (poor) immigrants in a country’s workforce is.
The second area where EE has much to offer concerns the causes of illegal immigration. Economists treat immigration as an individual choice balancing the benefits with the costs of immigration. This will raise some eyebrows among ecological economists. Still, an important finding is that the so-called preference for domestic consumption (sic), i.e. the desire of one to stay home, is an important part of the calculus. Unlike the marginal earnings model of neo-classical economics, most migrants, except some middle-class academics such as myself, do not migrate for the fun of it, but because of a considerable deterioration of conditions at their homes. Other factors equal, most people prefer to stay home. Ecological economists can analyse the contribution of ecological “push factors”, such as environmental degradation, urban deprivation or natural disasters, and their relation with a global economy of unequal exchange and ecological debt or link “push factors” to the oil wars and the oppressive regimes in the Middle East and Africa.
Ecological economists can also shed light on “pull-factors” starting with the Marxian insight, shared by Herman Daly, that within capitalist economies, there is a structural pull for illegal immigration. In the absence of native population growth, immigration keeps the costs of labour low, and illegal immigration even more so. Daly however hints that illegal immigration should be controlled precisely to reduce the exploitation of illegal immigrants. In other words, people should be punished for their own good as if they don’t know the exploitation they are getting into when they decide to immigrate.
To me, NGR´s proposal makes more sense. With open borders, all immigrants would be subject to the same rights and obligations (not least in terms of social security and taxes), and hence their costs will not be any lower than that of natives with the same skills; it is their illegality that makes them cheaper. As less jobs will be available for immigrants given their higher cost, the pull-factor will decrease. Also a global convergence of labour costs because of immigration will reduce the benefits of outsourcing and hence reduce the negative environmental impacts of trade. Finally with open borders, if rich nations wish to control immigration, an efficient way of doing so will be to invest for development in the origin countries and make unequal exchange more equal.
My article has been on purpose provocative. My intention has been to shake lazy thinking around illegal immigration. Ecological economics as I see it has nothing to do with reactionary national life-boat ethics or the hate-spreading views of the Carrying Capacity Network. New research on illegal immigration by European ecological economists should make this as clear as possible.

The Englishman turned down his shirt-collar, and showed a scar, whose redness
proved it to be a recent one.
The others waited for the dairyman's answer as if their lives hung upon it; Retty, with parted lips, gazing on the tablecloth, Marian with heat added to her redness
, Tess throbbing and looking out at the meads.
Her eyelids had lost some of their redness
now, and she had her usual air of self-command.
The dominant colour was grey, and yet there was to it a faint reddish hue--a hue that was baffling, that appeared and disappeared, that was more like an illusion of the vision, now grey, distinctly grey, and again giving hints and glints of a vague redness
of colour not classifiable in terms of ordinary experience.
It glows out a little in their early youth, before the leaves open, in the redness
and rosy-yellowness of their blossoms, but in summer it is carefully hidden under a demure, silver-lined greenness.
As for himself (and you are to bear in mind that he was cumbered with a great-coat) he had first turned crimson, but as time went on the redness
began to be mingled with patches of white; his breath cried and whistled as it came; and his voice, when he whispered his observations in my ear during our halts, sounded like nothing human.
Clinical studies showed 95% symptom improvement at one minute after use of Lumify and reduced redness

Electrical power usage has always been a large and increasing cost of operating a data center.
Over the last decade, as applications have grown more sophisticated and servers more powerful, digital data has grown at an exponential rate and the deployment of storage systems has proliferated. Add to this the wired and wireless networks connecting millions of users to these systems, and the stage is set for a microcosm of the world’s energy crisis in every data center.
Fortunately, innovation in servers, storage, and networking technology – especially server and storage virtualization – have made possible an entirely new way of designing energy-efficient data centers while accommodating the need for scaling performance and capacity.
At Earth Rangers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating children about environmental issues, we had the opportunity to research and implement the latest virtualization technologies from the ground up in our new data center for our Earth Rangers Centre (ERC), a building with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold designation. The ERC, located in Woodbridge, Ontario, uses 79 percent less energy than a similar 60,000-square-foot building.
The challenge was to build a data center that would contribute to the ERC’s overall energy efficiency without sacrificing the leading-edge performance our growing organization requires. We needed to house it in a small, 100-square-foot space, and we wanted it to be a showcase of the latest in green IT technology.
The first thing we settled on was a virtual server infrastructure, which eliminated 90 percent of the hardware a conventional server deployment would require, and this became the central decision that drove much of the architecture of the data center. Next, we chose power-efficient RAM-intensive blade servers to host the virtual servers, ending up with three physical blade servers running 62 virtual servers – with room for more as our needs grow.
The virtual server infrastructure, in turn, drove storage and data protection decisions. For storage, we chose one of the new generation of virtualized storage arrays – one with a full 10 terabytes of raw storage capacity – that could serve up virtual disks of any size as needed for each of my virtual servers. There is plenty of head room on this array; when more capacity is needed, another array is added and it will expand the virtual pool of available storage, mirroring the flexibility of the virtual servers.
A deployment of this size using conventional servers and storage would require a data center 10 times the size. By creating a virtualized environment on the energy-efficient blades, we have saved nearly 85 percent of the energy costs compared with a non-virtualized environment.
For data protection, a disk-based backup system eliminates the need for tape-based backup and allows me to restore lost or corrupted files on a very granular level in minutes. There is an indirect positive impact on the environment with this system, since we are no longer burning fossil fuel to truck copies of our data on tape to a remote location for safe keeping. We are currently using a continuous data protection solution and site-to-site disaster recovery.
We completed the initial construction of the data center in December 2008, and as the data center grew since then, energy consumption has only doubled, even though performance has increased more than tenfold. Since the data center is embedded in an extraordinarily energy efficient building, the electricity it consumes for computing (nearly 100 kWh per day) is offset by the energy generated from the ERC’s 28 kW photovoltaic array, and the heat generated by the IT equipment will be used to warm the building and offset our heating costs in the near future. To complete the efficient use of electricity, we deployed an Ethernet routing switch enabled with power-over-Ethernet technology to facilitate the transfer of electrical power and data across the infrastructure.
Virtualization has not only saved space and energy in the data center, but with the use of virtual desktop technology and thin clients, we have reduced the need for expensive, energy-intensive desktops. Now the majority of storage and processing power is centrally located in and distributed from the data center. Not only does this save energy, but it facilitates the distribution of new software and upgrades to all staff from a central location.
The virtualized architecture of the data center saves more than 111,000 kilowatt hours a year, or the equivalent of more than 26 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. In addition to the efficiency of the data center itself, a virtual private network (VPN) allows more than half of Earth Rangers’ staff to work from home, reducing pollution caused by driving to work every day; it is estimated that our VPN capabilities can help eliminate more than 23 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
Everything that Earth Rangers deployed in its data center is proven green technology that any organization can put to good use today. The ERC data center is living proof that the massive energy-hogging data centers of the past are not necessary for any organization to have the performance and capacity it requires, and we urge everyone to investigate how to migrate to a more energy-efficient data center with virtualization technology and other sustainability practices.
Rob DiStefano is IT systems manager for Earth Rangers, a charitable organization with a mission to inspire kids with a lasting passion to build a green future. Fadi Albatal is the vice president of product marketing at FalconStor Software, which assisted in the upgrade.

One of the benefits of attending Republican National Committee meetings is the opportunity to meet with RNC members from other states and to get a flavor for the kinds of issues their states and candidates face. One of the subgroups of the RNC that I (as well as National Committeeman Pete Ricketts and National Committeewoman De Carlson) belong to is the Conservative Caucus. As part of that caucus I've had the pleasure of getting to know the representatives of Arizona, including Arizona State GOP Chair (and RNC Treasurer) Randy Pullen and Arizona National Committeeman Bruce Ash.
From those discussions, as well as recent work-related visits to Arizona, I've concluded that those of us outside of Arizona simply don't understand Arizona's plight when it comes to immigration. Their state is literally being overrun by illegals, and their state and local budgets are being overwhelmed as a result. Arizona citizens are being kidnapped, and Mexican drug lords are entering our country at will.
And what to the Democrats propose to do? The Obama administration decided to post some signs warning American citizens to not travel into the area due to "active drug and human smuggling." Initially, I thought the signs were at or near the U.S./Mexico border. It wasn't until a conversation with Pullen and Ash at the recent RNC meeting that I realized the signs are posted 80 miles north of the border! Essentially the Democrats have ceded 80 miles of U.S. territory to the Mexican government.
And where do Nebraska Democrats stand on this important issue. Their leaders believe that illegal immigration is "much ado about nothing."
Democrats Mike Meister, Tom White, Steve Lathrop, Danielle Nantkes Conrad, Amanda McGill, Kent Rogert and Norm Wallman apparently all agree. I guess we'll see if Nebraskans accept their dangerous position come November.

When I see a logo like FlipTop I think:
- If this is how much time and effort they put into their brand, I bet they are awesome at what they do too.
- They are modern, fun and competent.
- I'd be excited to meet someone from this company, not to mention work with them. They get it.
When I see a logo like Versartis I think:
- This is most definitely a B2B company that is comfortable with minimal branding effort since their products do the heavy lifting.
- Design is not a priority here.
- If I work with them, it runs the risk of rolling a boulder uphill. As a UX designer I could have an impact if the product or the platform is new. I'd need to investigate how the team works so I can tell what kind of change the company is and is not open to. This will drastically effect the success of the project. Excellent UX designers want the customer/user to rule. This is much more difficult when the legacy dictates.
- STILL, their products must be demo'ed, trialed, or sold. A better user experience is something that will help deepen customer trust.

The Cambridge People's Assembly Against Austerity sends a message of solidarity to the McDonald's workers in our city and in Crayford taking strike action as members of the Baking, Food, and Allied Workers' Union on Monday 4 September. Forty people have organized to stand up for workers' interests against a multinational corporation: their bravery, judgement, and careful preparation have already been rewarded with a 95.7 per cent vote for strike action and immediate concessions from the employer. We stand by the McDonald's workers as they demand action against management bullying, a £10 hourly wage, union rights, and guaranteed working hours.Read more
The Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS footprint was published on 21 November 2016,1 as the keystone of the Fit for the Future programme. The plan reveals the scale of the deficit that is being created in the local NHS by the austerity imposed by Conservative and Conservative-led governments since 2010, which will amount to £504m by 2020/21. And it shows the narrow paths down which that strategic underfunding – or defunding – is forcing the health service.Read more
The Cambridge People's Assembly supports the statement against the NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) issued by the recent Health Campaigns Together conference in Birmingham. It is vital that the NHS is sustainable – not least as a matter of justice between generations – but the STPs are designed to make sustainable its underfunding.Read more
The basis for the library reservation fee for adult users, introduced as an austerity measure by Cambridgeshire County Council in June, remains unclear after the council's response to a set of requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We'll discuss its response below (that response is also attached in full) but present our main findings immediately.
- The council has been unable to produce documentation of the decision to introduce the fee.
- The council has been unable to produce evidence that the fee's impact on communities has been considered.
- An internal council report projected that the fee could discourage two thirds of adult reservations.
- The fee was to be announced 14 days after the council passed a budget for 2016/17 which didn't include it.
What did we ask? What has the council told us?Read more
The Cambridge People's Assembly sends a message of solidarity and appreciation to the Labour Party under the anti-racist, anti-austerity leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. The referendum vote that Britain should leave the European Union has opened a period of uncertainty and grave dangers, the most terrible of which is recalled by another sharp rise in racist and xenophobic street attacks (and was earlier prefigured in the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox).Read more
Cambridgeshire County Council announced last week that it plans to introduce a reservation fee of £1 for all adult library users from 13 June. As a result, users who are not able to travel into the centre of Cambridge but instead request books to collect at their nearest branch will in practice no longer have access to a free public library service.Read more
As activists and trade unionists, we are appalled and saddened by the cruel murder in Cairo of Giulio Regeni, a Cambridge doctoral student working on Egyptian labour organization. His body, marked by torture, was found nine days after he disappeared with many Egyptian citizens on 25 January, during a crackdown on the fifth anniversary of the country's revolution.Read more
Our friend Angela and nine others await trial in April for their protest actions at the 2015 DSEI arms fair.* Taking up the demanding tactics of nonviolence, they put themselves in the way of power, and blocked roads to the fair with their bodies until they were seized and arrested by the Metropolitan Police.Read more
Social care and other county council services in Cambridgeshire face the worst austerity cuts yet in the coming year. They are some of the sharpest: the council proposes £41m of cuts for the budget year 2016/17, front-loading £119m of cuts planned by 2020/21. And they are the very deepest: after five years of Conservative-led austerity, only the most essential services still survive to be cut again.Read more
We send a message of solidarity to the students who demonstrated in London today against the Conservative government's elitist policy in further and higher education, among them many from the two universities which are jewels of our city. We send special greetings to the organizers, the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, and to demonstrators from the intermural student organizations that joined us in May for the Cambridge March Against Austerity: Cambridge Defend Education, Cambridge Marxist Society, Cambridge Universities Labour Club, and Cambridge Young Greens. We also congratulate Cambridge University Students' Union for its decision to organize free transport.Read more

A little more than a week ago a few of the guides were hiking in Mahoosuc Notch just east of the Maine-New Hampshire border. That one of us would be guiding this section of the Appalachian Trail soon was purely coincidental — the fellahs were simply helping owner Mike Cherim “work” on his personal “redlining” mission.
Assigned to lead today’s for-hire companion hike was Redline Guide Ken Hodges. We were all envious of his assignment. The Notch is billed as the toughest mile on the AT, but we know it’s really the most fun mile on the AT in reality. Moreover, it was a great day… right?
Well, while the much of the Northeast enjoyed fine weather, Ken noting was forecast for them was the same, the Mahoosuc Range and its notorious Notch had its own ideas. Apprently rain and clouds ruled the day. It’s okay, they had a great time all the same and their mission was a success. Or as Ken put it:
On Sunday, August 13th, Phil and I section-hiked a piece of the AT. Phil is a transplanted New Englander living in California who has been section-hiking the AT for several years now. He wanted company along on the stretch thru Mahoosuc Notch. We met up at dawn to get an esrly start on what was forecast to be a beautiful sunny day in the 70s [and it was everywhere else]. We set out northbound at the Notch Trail and halfway thru Mahoosuc Notch a light rain was falling under very foggy skies. We continued on unperturbed through the Notch and then up the Arm [Mahoosuc Arm]. Luckily for us that the rock gripped very well even though it was wet. After getting beyond Speck Pond around mid-afternoon the rain let up and by 2:00 pm the sun was out and we had views all the way to our exit at Grafton Notch. Congratulations Phil on finishing another section of the AT. —Ken Hodges
Ken also shared these photos:
As usual, a fine lead Ken and a hearty congratulations to both of you on a job well done!

According to Research Report Insights the global market for bio-tech flavor is anticipated to reflect a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period 2016-2024. By the end of 2016, the global sales of bio-tech flavor is estimated to surpass US$ 906 Million and are anticipated to cross US$ 2,092 Million in terms of value by 2024 end.
Bio-tech flavor is an alternative process of obtaining an organic synthesis of flavors. The traditional process involves fermentation of the original source for extraction of flavors using special enzymes and micro-organisms. While the bio-tech procedure applies advanced food science technology to extract flavors and usually finds its use in the biotransformation of flavor compound. Few of the countries in Europe and North America have acknowledged flavor compound as natural compounds that are made using bio-tech flavor process. In addition, favorable governmental taxation policies are also expected to influence the popularity of bio-tech flavor over the forecast period.
The global market for bio-tech flavor is expected to witness a significant growth during the next eight years owing to the ongoing research and development programs for creating advanced applications. Bio-tech flavors have a number of health benefits such as improving the antioxidants levels, lowering the risk of metabolic disease namely diabetes and obesity. Thus the preference for bio-tech flavors is steadily growing, especially amongst health conscious consumers. However, shorter shelf-life as compared to artificial and natural flavors, since these flavors do not contain any added artificial preservatives is major restraining factor of the product. In addition, the average shelf life of a bio-tech flavor is about six to twelve months. Improving the shelf life of fruity and natural flavors can be difficult. Moreover, use of bio-tech flavors such as vanilla & vanillin is restricted in soda beverages owing to reaction concerns. Thus, the aforementioned factors are likely to pose challenges to the global market of bio-tech flavors during the forecast period.

Rush University To Treat Breast Cancer With New Electronic Brachytherapy System
Women with early stage breast cancer now have a new treatment option available to help reduce recurrence of the disease using a miniaturized X-ray source that can deliver localized and targeted radiation treatment in virtually any clinical setting under the supervision of a radiation oncologist.
Rush is the first medical center in the Midwest, and the second in the country, to treat breast cancer patients using the Xoft system.
With the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System the cancer treatment is delivered in 10-15 minutes, two times a day, for five days straight. Recent studies have shown that many patients decide not to receive breast sparing surgery with radiation therapy due to time, distance, or difficulty accessing radiation therapy centers.
"This approach provides the potential to reduce the time required for radiation therapy for early stage breast cancer from seven weeks (for external radiation therapy) down to five days. As a result, more patients may decide to receive treatment. This may accelerate patient choice of breast sparing lumpectomy surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy over the alternative of a full mastectomy," says surgeon Dr. Kambiz Dowlat.
Dowlat says a key component that sets the electronic brachytherapy apart from radiation regimens that involve radioactive isotopes, is that the X-ray source can be turned on and off at will, enabling it to be delivered in virtually any clinical setting rather than in heavily-shielded environments.

For the Christmas swap, I was sending to Hannah. I'm afraid I have to confess I failed miserably at taking photos of the things I sent her, as I did my making for her around the time we lost Gran and I was a bit disorganised then...
This is the only photo I took! It's a felt Christmas tree decoration I made her, when I was deciding on the placement of the sparkly bit!
Charlotte sent to me and she sent me a package I think any larper would have loved, so I felt very spoilt!
Charlotte is an amazing crocheter and she made me this awesome hat!
It looks awesome and, unlike all my other hats, it keeps my face toasty warm as well! She also sent me some gorgeous socks!
These are fluffy on the inside and really comfy! Again, perfect for my winter larping gear and keeping my feet lovely and warm inside my boots.
Charlotte also sent me some chocolate, which is always welcome in any larp!
I shared these with some of my fellow monsters whilst waiting for the player crew to turn up. Very tasty they were too!
It was a wonderful parcel and it made Sunday's game that little bit more fun (and warm!). I'm currently working on my next #DICraftSwap, so I'll leave you to go and finish it.
Next week, I'm hoping to have photos of my Elven Ballgown to show! I can't wait!

On the flip side, girls are sprouting boobs earlier. By the time most of them hit 14 they look like full grown women. It's getting so you can't tell the 14 and the 40 year olds apart! What does this mean? It means that, because chicks look better longer, they accumulate a lot more miles on the cat. Guys hit it earlier, more often and longer. So, even though they might look OK, you still have to trade them in just as often as you did before. Hell, with so many decent looking chicks out there it's almost your duty to get to as many of them as you can.

A bit about me and the blog.
Where to start. Where.To.Start.
My Mum is probably the main reason why I have started this blog. She was the main story teller in the household and still is. When she worked at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, she always used to come home with a different story. From the twins that were killed in a house fire, a roaming monk and Howard; The former bar manager of the cinema where the Marlow now stands, a man that took his own life when he caught his best friend in bed with his wife.
It was Howard that I heard the most about. He was mischievous, to say the least. Locking people in rooms, playing tricks on cast members and even taking part in plays. When I had to go to work with my Mum I never saw him or any other ghost, however, I always felt like I was being watched, even more so when I was on my own. The staff room was the creepiest.
I could hear everything from that room, from the music from the stage to the footsteps of the workers. I always felt uneasy when I had to sit in there on my own, whether it was due to the banging of the pipes or it might have been that I was never truly alone.
When I go searching for ghosts for this blog, I plan on being truly honest.
I will go looking not just at night, but also during the day. If there is anything to find, then I should be able to find them, no matter where the sun is in the sky.
I shall be looking for anything paranormal on my journey. If it’s out there I will find it.
I hope you can join me on my adventure.
The Ghost Hunter.

Open left angle comminuted angle of mandible, 802.35, and open symphysis of mandible, 802.36. Open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) of bilateral mandible fractures with multiple approaches, CPT code 21470, and surgical extraction of teeth #17, CPT code 41899.
(Medical Transcription Sample Report)
Open left angle comminuted angle of mandible, 802.35, and open symphysis of mandible, 802.36.POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Open left angle comminuted angle of mandible, 802.35, and open symphysis of mandible, 802.36.PROCEDURE:
Open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) of bilateral mandible fractures with multiple approaches, CPT code 21470, and surgical extraction of teeth #17, CPT code 41899.ANESTHESIA:
General anesthesia via nasal endotracheal intubation.FLUIDS:
1800 mL of LR.ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS:
A 2.3 titanium locking reconstruction plate from Leibinger on the symphysis and a 2.0 reconstruction plate on the left angle.SPECIMEN:
The patient was extubated to the PACU, breathing spontaneously in excellent good condition.INDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE:
The patient is a 55-year-old male that he is 12 hour status post interpersonal violence in which he sustained bilateral mandible fractures and positive loss of consciousness. He reported to the Hospital the day after his altercation complaining of mall occlusion and sore left shoulder. He was worked up by the emergency department. His head CT was cleared and his left shoulder was clear of any fractures or soft tissue damage. Oral maxillary facial surgery was consulted to manage the mandible fracture. After review of the CT and examination it was determined that the patient would benefit from open reduction, internal fixation of bilateral mandible fractures. Risks, benefits, and alternative to treatment were thoroughly discussed with the patient and consent was obtained.DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE:
The patient was brought to the operating room #2 at Hospital. He was laid in supine position on the operating room table. ASA monitors were attached and stated general anesthesia was induced with IV anesthetic and maintained with nasal endotracheal intubation and inflation anesthetics.
The patient was prepped and draped in the usual oral maxillofacial surgery fashion. The surgeon approached the operating room table in a sterile fashion. Approximately 10 mL of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine was injected into oral vestibule in a nerve block fashion. Erich arch bars were adapted to the maxilla and mandible, secured in the posterior teeth with 24-gauge surgical steel wire and 26-gauge surgical steel wire in the anterior. This was done from second molar to second molar on both the maxilla and the mandible secondary to the patient missing multiple teeth. The patient was manipulated up into maximum intercuspation. He has a malocclusion with severe bruxism and so wear facets were lined up. This was secured with 26-gauge surgical steel wire. Attention was then directed to the symphysis extraorally. Approximately 5 mL of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine was injected into the area of incision which paralleled the inferior border of the mandible 2 cm below the inferior border of the mandible.
After waiting appropriate time for local anesthesia using a 15 blade, a skin and platysma incision was made. Then using a series of blunt and sharp dissections, the dissection was carried to the inferior border of the mandible. The periosteum was incised and reflected with the periosteal elevator. The fracture was noted and it was displaced. Manipulation of the segments and checking with the occlusion intraorally, the fracture was aligned. This was secured with 7-hole 2.3 titanium locking reconstruction plate with bicortical screws. The wound was then packed with moist Ray-Tec and attention was directed intraorally to the left angle fracture. Approximately 5 mL of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine was injected into the left vestibule. After waiting appropriate time for local anesthesia to take effect, using Bovie electrocautery, a sagittal split incision was made and the fracture was identified. It was noted that the fracture went through tooth #17 and this needed to be extracted. Taking a round bur, a buckle trough was made and the tooth was elevated and removed both distal and mesial roots. The fracture was then reduced and lateral superior border plate 2-0 4 whole with monocortical screws was placed. The fracture was noted to be well reduced. The wound was then irrigated with copious amount of sterile water. The patient was released for excellent intercuspation. He was then manipulated up into the occlusion easily. Wound was then closed with running 3-0 chromic gut suture. Attention was then directed extraorally. This was irrigated with copious amount of sterile water and closed in a layer fashion with 3-0 Vicryl, 4-0 Vicryl, and 5-0 Prolene on skin. Attention was then again directed into the mouth. The throat pack was removed and orogastric tube was placed and stomach content was evacuated. The patient was then manipulated back up to maximum intercuspation and secured with interdental elastics and a pressure dressing was applied to the extraoral incisions. At this point, the procedure was then determined to be over.
The patient was extubated and breathing spontaneously, transported to the PACU in excellent condition.

The average Australian would describe the Country Women’s Association as a group of old women making scones and drinking tea. While they’re not wrong, there’s a lot more behind the women than the caricature. I joined the Country Women’s Association in 2013 after my mom brought home some information about the judging requirements on cooking competitions. After reading that a certain type of cake must under no circumstances have cooling rack marks on the bottom, I knew this was a group I wanted to be a part of. If they could heighten the making of a simple fruit cake to cutthroat competition, I could only imagine what other things these women would teach me.
The generation gap is trying. I am the youngest member of the Hornsby branch by over two decades. There are active members who have spent over triple the amount of time on this earth as I have. It means frustrating differences in opinion on both sides but as the severely outnumbered youth, I have to adjust my thinking when amongst the community. And, perhaps not so shockingly, spending time amongst these women has taught me some things.
Feminism is my jam, so I approach the idea of the housewife/stay at home mum/homemaker with a distrustful hesitation. When a woman at my high school drew connections between my love of craft and baking and my eligibility as a wife, I was terrified that I had misrepresented myself and my feminism. I felt that by enjoying traditionally female tasks, I had sacrificed an aspect of my strength or independence and I scrambled to compensate. Most of the women in my CWA branch, though, come from the generation that birthed and normalised that feminine role in the modern western world.
Considering many young women would now recoil from a community mostly dedicated to women cooking, knitting, and sewing for fear of recursion into their grandmothers’ generations, it’s not surprising how few women my age participate in the CWA. But this attitude is simplistic and dismisses the skills and experiences of these women. Many of the members of my branch lived through the establishment of traditional social feminine norms and their deconstruction through the second wave feminism of the 60s and 70s. An association that gives women of these generations a community to share in and an opportunity to compete tooth and nail to hone their crafting and cooking skills is its own kind of feminist utilisation.
I don’t think I can stress how intensely serious their competitions are taken. At a recent Hornsby branch meeting things got pretty heated when jam judging regulations were literally turned on their head. New rules stipulated more air in the jar than previously, while also requiring jars be sealed with inverted cooling—covering the visible layer of air with jam. The change was not well advertised, and not many took kindly to this lack of consideration for competitors.
This month begins the first round of cooking competitions judged at branch level. I’ll be entering for the first time under Section 8: Jams, Pickles, and Relishes because I’m not game enough to compete on a cake. If our branch judge declares my jam worthy, I’ll move onto inter-branch competition in October where I will be expected to recreate, from scratch, the same first-round winning jam. As a novice jam-maker, the least difficult part of this task will be collecting regulation jam jars.

Creatine phosphokinase - isoenzymes; Creatine kinase - isoenzymes; CK - isoenzymes
This blood test measures the isoenzymes (different forms) of creatine phosphokinase.
How the test is performed
Blood is drawn from a vein, usually in the arm. The puncture site is cleaned with antiseptic, and a tourniquet (an elastic band or blood pressure cuff) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause veins below the tourniquet to fill with blood.
A needle is inserted into the vein, and the blood is collected in an airtight vial or a syringe. During the procedure, the tourniquet is removed to restore circulation and facilitate the collection of blood. Once the proper amount of blood has been drawn, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
Infant or young child:
The area is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a sharp needle or a lancet. The blood may be collected in a pipette (small glass tube), on a slide, onto a test strip, or into a small container. A piece of cotton or a bandage may be applied to the puncture site if there is any continued bleeding.
This test may be repeated over 2 or 3 days for hospitalized patients. A significant rise or fall in the total CPK or CPK isoenzymes can be very helpful to health care providers for the diagnosis of certain conditions.
How to prepare for the test
Usually, no special preparation is necessary.
Infants and children:
The physical and psychological preparation involved in readying a child for any test or procedure depends on the child’s age, interests, previous experiences, and level of trust. For specific information on how to prepare your child based on their age, see the following topics:
- Infant test or procedure preparation (birth to 1 year)
- Toddler test or procedure preparation (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler test or procedure preparation (3 to 6 years)
- Schoolage test or procedure preparation (6 to 12 years)
- Adolescent test or procedure preparation (12 to 18 years)
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people may feel moderate pain, while others may feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
CPK isoenzymes are performed when the total CPK level is elevated. Isoenzyme testing can help differentiate the source of the damaged tissue.
CPK is an enzyme found predominantly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. CPK is composed of 3 isoenzymes that differ slightly in structure:
- CPK-1 (also called CPK-BB) is concentrated in the brain and lungs
- CPK-2 (also called CPK-MB) is found mostly in the heart
- CPK-3 (also called CPK-MM) is found mostly in skeletal muscle
Because the CPK-1 isoenzyme is predominately found in the brain and lungs, injury to either of these organs (for example, stroke or lung injury due to a Pulmonary embolism) are associated with elevated levels of this isoenzyme.
CPK-2 levels rise 3 to 6 hours after a heart attack. If there is no further damage to the heart muscle, the level peaks at 12 to 24 hours and returns to normal 12 to 48 hours after tissue death. CPK-2 levels do not usually rise with chest pain caused by angina, Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), or congestive heart failure.
The CPK-3 isoenzyme is normally responsible for almost all CPK enzyme activity in healthy people. When this particular isoenzyme is elevated, it usually indicates injury or stress to skeletal muscle.
What abnormal results mean
Higher-than-normal CPK-1 levels may occur with the following:
- Brain cancer
- Brain injury (due to trauma, stroke, or bleeding in the brain)
- Electroconvulsive therapy
- Pulmonary infarction
Higher-than-normal CPK-2 levels may occur with the following:
- Heart attack o There is a significant rise in CPK-2 levels in the first 2 to 3 hours after a heart attack. This test is used to diagnose a heart attack. o The extent of the elevation depends on the severity of the heart attack. CPK levels may remain elevated up to 24 hours after a heart attack, and sometimes even longer.
- Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle usually due to a virus)
- Electrical injuries
- Trauma to the heart (for instance, from a car accident)
- Heart defibrillation (purposeful shocking of the heart by medical personnel)
- Open heart surgery
Higher-than-normal CPK-3 levels may occur with the following:
- Crush injuries of skeletal muscle
- Multiple intramuscular injections
- Muscular dystrophy
- Myositis (skeletal muscle inflammation)
- Post-electromyography (a test of nerve and muscle function)
- Recent seizures
- Recent surgery
- Rhabdomyolysis (skeletal muscle damage due to drugs or prolonged immobilization)
- Strenuous exercise
Factors that can affect test results include cardiac catheterization, intramuscular injections, recent surgery, and vigorous and prolonged exercise or immobilization.
Drugs that can increase CPK measurements include the following:
- Amphotericin B
- Some anesthetics
Isoenzyme testing for specific conditions is about 90% accurate.

Comprises of the minutes of the sub committees of Council relating to the governance and operation of the AA School, 1863-1969

- Physical Description17 volumes
- Direct Link
Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The AA's 1851 Rules of Association permit the formation of classes by members desirous of associating together for the study of specific subjects -allowing classes to frame their own laws and regulations, subject to the sanction of theAA Committee. Prior to the founding of the Day School in 1901, the principal classes included two Design Classes, classes of Construction and Practice and classes for the Study of Ornament and Color Decoration. Each class had its own officers, consisting of a President, Vice-President, and two Honorary Secretaries. It appears that meetings held by officers of some classes were minuted, surviving examples being the minute books of the Voluntary Architectural Examination Class, 1863-65 and the Class for the Study of Architectural Science, 1874-80. By the 1890s, when the AA was undertaking a systematic reform of its educational system, an Education Sub Committee of the AA Council was set up to oversee the classes. In 1909, several years after the establishment of the Day School, the Education Sub Committee was replaced by the School Committee, which proceeded to act as the principal sub-committee of Council concerned with the organisation and pedagogical direction of the AA School.
Arranged into eight sub sub-series comprising of material from AA School related sub committees.

Help stop the genocide on Syria: please stop and sign for the sake of the innocent
0 have signed. Let’s get to 100!
Hello everybody as you may be aware of the horrific bloodshed being taken place in Syria, as a part of humanity- before anything else- we must come together to stop these barbaric people from destroying the lives of all those innocent families who are in a never ending war zone. Please I ask you let’s come together and bring about a permanent ceasefire not one which will only last for thirty days, otherwise more small children will become orphans in this mass genocide. I cannot tell you there are kids as small as two or three years of age who are witnessing there own parents dying in front of them, this is abuse and torture how can they justify these deaths. They have not solved any problems instead they have created more.
Our part is simple we must put an end to this war on the Eastern Ghouta, so many medical centres and six hospitals in this region alone have been destroyed, people are dying with malnutrition and like the situation in Burma no one is being held accounted for. I want us as individuals from all walks of life to come together and bring forward these war criminals and make them pay for what they have done. Don’t sit quietly because this could happen to any of us, if we cover our eyes when we see injustice then criminals will just keep on hurting the innocent.
Today: Zeeshan is counting on you
Zeeshan Gul needs your help with “Theresa May MP: Help stop the genocide on Syria”. Join Zeeshan and 67 supporters today.

After the engagement what next? That is the question. How long are you suppose to wait before you get married? That is another question. Well, first of all we had to change the ring, the diametre was big for my slender fingers. I made the announcement. It was exciting, friends and family were genuinely happy for us. They asked about the ring and if we have fixed the date already for the Big Day. Fix date? So fast? I was like, it is going to be something small, we’ve been together, cohabited (still cohabit :-)) and I am not sure how much of a difference it would make in our everyday life. For that reason, I was actually not in a hurry to fix a date. I was told, even if it was going to be something small it was still going to be your Big Day! That was when I gradually realised what it was all about. So, during that Spring we officially started planning our wedding.
- Change my engagement ring.
- Fix date (the following summer, too early to plan for the summer of 2013)
- Budget? Make your wedding budget and stick to it. Be realistic.
- Start making inquiries (church wedding? civil ceremony? reception?)
- Wedding style? Small and Simple
- Since we were not getting married that summer, where were we going to visit for the summer holidays? Menorca.
During our holidays in the epitome of paradise, my husband made a decision to pursue his Masters he’s been procrastinating for so long. We were so relaxed and full of energy that he had the inspiration. Really? I have always encouraged him, however, should it be same year we are going to tie the knot? I encouraged him anyway. I previously had my post graduate degrees while I worked full time and I still remember how exhausting, time consuming and expensive it was and let’s not include planning a wedding to the list. In my mind, I knew we had to find our venue before he resumes classes. I was at the same time, sort of working on wedding songs, browsing wedding blogs, sites, liking them on Facebook, pinterest you name it.
PS: We stayed in a hotel apartment in Maó (capital of Menorca), hired a car to move around the Island.
The picture with the horse was in Es Mercadal (Menorca) during their San Martí celebrations.
Wedding advice from Mary*****
Once you are engaged start making wedding arrangements right away, if you are able to get married same year, great. If not, the next. The earlier you fix a date and start planning your wedding the better.

Every year almost four million Australians build and sharpen their skills by undertaking nationally recognised training. All students doing nationally recognised training need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This includes students doing Vocational Education Training (VET) when they are still at school (VET for secondary students).
What is a USI?
The USI is a reference number made up of ten numbers and letters that:
- creates a secure online record of your recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia, from all training providers you undertake recognised training with
- will give you access to your training records and transcripts
- can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere
- is free and easy to create and
- stays with you for life
Who needs a USI and why?
If you are a new or continuing student undertaking nationally recognised training, you need a USI in order to receive your qualification or statement of attainment. If you don't have a USI you will not receive your qualification or statement of attainment.
Your USI will give you access to an online record of the training you have done since 1 January 2015. You will also be able to produce a comprehensive transcript of your training. This can be used when applying for a job, seeking a credit transfer or demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training.
If you are an international student studying offshore and do not intend on coming to Australia to do your study you do not need a USI. However, if you are an Australian expat or resident student studying offshore with an Australian training organisation, you will need a USI.
If you are an International student who will be studying in Australia you will require a USI. All international students in Australia will have been issued with an Australian Visa. Once you have arrived in Australia your visa will be activated and you will be able to apply for a USI.
Do I need a USI if I'm only doing part of a course?
Yes, even if you enrol with a training provider just to complete part of a course, a module, or a single unit you will still require a USI.
Can my training provider create a USI for me?
Yes, as long as they have your permission, your training provider may create a USI for you.
Will my USI appear on my training certificate?
No, under legislation your USI must not be printed on your qualification or statement of attainment.
Can my USI be used by my training provider as student number or identifier?
No, your USI cannot be used by your training provider as an identifier for you.

Rio Tinto & BHP Billiton – why you should be following their progress.
Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have been in the news lately following both companies’ large increases in production.
Not all of the feedback has been positive, with Western Australia`s Premier Colin Barnett accusing the mining giants of working in tandem to increase their production with the aim of pushing out smaller miners who have much larger production costs.
Following this accusation, the chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Rod Simms has said the two mining giants were not abusing their market power . . . simply pursuing market share with strategies that they had started in 2010 and worked towards for the past 3 to 4 years.
Rio and BHP increased their infrastructure investments over that time and the present production figures would be a direct result of that, he said
At present, Rio is producing larger volumes of ore than BHP and also keeping production costs down to about $20 a tonne. BHP has added costs of $10 more per tonne, but hopes to close that gap by half “” to just $25 in the next two years.
Both miners aim to increase their iron ore outputs next year. Rio by 25% to 360 million tonnes and BHP from 225 to 290 million tonnes by 2017.
To go beyond 270 million tonnes, BHP will need to either tap options for two additional berths in the inner harbour in Port Hedland in a $US600 million to $US800 million development, or resurrect a $20 billion outer harbour project, either way job opportunities must increase in the Port Hedland area.
The competition between these two mega miners is continuing to push iron ore mining along at a steady rate and means jobs will be available in both companies for years to come.
Around 70%+ of job applications are scanned by computer software
Think about this . . .
When you submit a resume online, have you thought to yourself: where does it go, who reads it and why, (should you be one of the lucky ones), it gets selected?
Almost every recruitment company uses keyword-search software or applicant-tracking systems to scan resumes as they are delivered into their system. These highly advanced systems use special algorithms to scan resumes for keywords related to the position being advertised to find the ones that meet the pre-programmed software rules.
Before you start to even think about applying for iron ore jobs . . . review your resume.
Even better, get your own copy of the iMINCO guides on how to beat resume scanners and how to write a winning resume.
These guides are FREE and contain lots of tips, hints and good advice on how to create a resume and get it past the resume scanning and Applicant Tracking Systems.
Get your copies here (click the banners below)

Much like the rest of the world, Adele is a card carrying member of Rihanna's Navy, so you can imagine her excitement about Riri's upcoming shows in ye olde England. But will Adele be in the audience twerking with her fellow fan-girls? Hell yes, though she has to plan around the very real possibility that she might get a contact high and ruin her vocal chords.
"I love her," Adele said while performing at the O2 in London. "I'm thinking of going to Coventry to watch Rihanna because she's playing Wembley the day before I play Glastonbury, and if I go to that, I'll have no voice, I know it. All that weed in the air—I'll get stoned."
Fair 'nuff. And to be honest, who hasn't gone to a Rihanna show ready to dance-dance-dance and ended up staring vacantly at the ground while binge-eating weird stadium food? No one, that's who.

4-28-2013 DB's Dailies
At 0639, from the Makapuu Overview I found what would prove to be Duke (RA12) just hauling out at the left end of Rabbit Island. When I got to Makai Pier at 0646 I found that Duke was in the company of what would prove to be Nani (RK60) on the far left end of the beach at RI. Both would remain there all day, however each would move down amongst the rocks, only to reappear with the rising tide.
At 0852 I found Kainoa just hauling out to the water front rocks , 60 ft left of 2BS. Since the other two critters were in the area that Kainoa has been using, I guess it was necessary for him to find some new space. With this early haul out I thought I was really going to score some shots, but alas, all he ever showed my was his butt. He was gone from my line of sight at 1143. I did not see him again today.
At 0650 Kimo called with the report of RK36 at Spitting Cave.
At 0823 he reported that Kaiwi (RK96) had arrived to join RK36. He would report that Kaiwi departed at around 1050. RK36 remained. I saw him on a SC, checking a call from Canadian posse member Darlene at around 1400 .
At 0741 Team Billand reported RIP (RR70) at #1708, White Plains. They would report his departure at 1117. They would report his haul out to the Fire Surf School, at Kalaeloa Campgrounds at 1215.
At 1500 the Billands would report Haupu (RB24) at Nanakuli. She had last been reported on 4-15-13 back on Kauai, but it looks like she is back.
At 1521 the Billands called to say they responding to a call about an animal hauling out at Paradise Cove. They confirmed the Benny (RE74) ID at 1539.
Molokai Di called twice from the back of beyond, on Molokai. At 1148 she reported Noa (R6FI), and at 1209, Mojo (RI17) on Molokai. Tanx Eh !!
noa on Molokai
Kaiwi and RK36 kids playing
so great they're playing together.... at least i hope their playing :-)
Kaiwi bottom's up

Me and the Mister have an apartment in Mijas, near Marbella in the Costa Del Sol, which we try and visit about two to three times a year. As our brood has expanded to three young boys in total, we are now looking for a villa in Marbella so we can enjoy the Summer months, not only with the family but as a couple and with my girls too!
Marbella is like my second home, and one of my favourite places to visit in Europe, so every year we go we always venture out to find new and exciting places to visit.
We always get the 6.30am flight to Malaga airport so we can make the most of the day, collect our hire car for the weekend, and head to our apartment. The weather is predominantly predicted at 28c-31c during the Summer months, which is great news for sun worshippers, not me who always suffers from heat rash! Day one always consists of unpacking, freshening up and heading straight our favourite local beach club, El Oceano in Mijas for a chilled out brunch, followed by a drive to Puerto Banus for lunch at La Sala, and mocktails at Pedro’s beach bar.
We had booked dinner reservations at Olivia’s Restaurant in La Cala which is right next door to where we live, so we headed there for 8pm where we had an al fresco dining table by the beach. Olivia’s is owned by ex TOWIE star Elliot Wright, the staff were super friendly, and very attentive. We dined on fillet steak, parmesan mash and a medley of vegetables which was very well presented and tasted divine. Its located in a Spanish residential area, so its recommended to take a cab rather than drive, but once your in, the experience is worth it. We even headed there for breakfast the next day!
Saturdays in Marbella can only mean one thing…Ocean Club! We booked our VIP bed which usually accommodates 8 guests and comes with a bottle of Dom Perrigon champagne. A bit over excessive for 2 people, but we like to book our beds on the 1st line near the pool. This day is all about wearing glam beachwear, embellished kaftans, funky wedges and designer shades. Its a place to be seen and notorious for their champagne spray events. Celebs often flock to this venue for daytime beach clubbing so be prepared to see a few famous faces.
Ocean Club was as amazing as it always is, eating sushi, drinking champagne and lounging around to uplifting house music, the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. After a quick shower and change at the beach club, we headed down to Puerto Banus for dinner in our favourite restaurant Ola’s and mocktails in Bambilonia’s. The port is one of the most prestigious places in the Costa Del Sol. You will see supercars driving down the street and super yachts moored in the sea, the perfect place to people watch. The port also showcases some of the worlds most influential designers, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbanna, Tom Ford, to name a few, all have stores situated here beautiful placed in between uber cool bars and restaurants.
Staying at our apartment is great, but I get cabin fever. We usually stay in the Guadalpin Banus as the location is perfect for stepping out on to the port for drinking and dining, but we were looking for something a bit more tranquil, so I checked us into a 5 star hotel 10 minutes along the coast. We had breakfast at Bono beach which is a new beach club in Las Chapas, and checked in Los Monteros Hotel and Golf resort for an overnight stay. The hotel as very traditional old school Marbella, but houses one of the most stunning contemporary beach clubs, La Cabane. We booked a cabana for the day right on the beach and spent our last afternoon soaking up the sun.
We couldn’t go home without visiting Nikki Beach so we booked to have lunch there and catch the back end of the ‘Amazing Sundays’. The drums, saxophonists, and funky house tunes didn’t fail to impress us, and I ordered my usual Sexy Sushi Salad, and fruit platter. We usually book a beach bed for the day and enjoy a full rosta of entertainment whilst drinking and dining in between. This venue is one of the best beach clubs in the world. I’ve visited the Nikki Beach franchises in Ibiza, Koh Samui, and St Tropez and this one tops them all. Its pure sophistication and class from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. Everyone looks like they’ve stepped out of a Victoria Secrets campaign, and has a guest list of some of the worlds most affluent people.
A three day weekend is enough time to really get to see and experience Marbella. Its the perfect playground for girls to go away and really strut their stuff. The beach clubs are lively, the restaurants are exquisite and Puerto Banus is one of the worlds biggest catwalks. So for ladies looking for a weekend of partying rather than relaxing, Marbella is made for you!

landing Stateside isn't quite the welcome wagon Spotify had hoped for. Alas, PacketVideo isn't interested in jamming with this musical newcomer, and has instead picked a patent fight with Spotify in the Southern District of California. The patent in question is for streaming music in digital form from a central source, and it's been licensed by mobile mavens Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, and Orange. According to the complaint, PacketVideo told Spotify in May about its IP, but Spotify wasn't picking up what PacketVideo was putting down, and continued its supposedly infringing ways. Thus, the present action was filed and now PacketVideo is seeking a permanent injunction and triple damages due to Spotify's alleged willful infringement. Of course, this is only the opening salvo in what could easily become a lengthy dispute, so feel free to break out the popcorn while we wait for Spotify's response.

Samsung Galaxy S III Review - AT&T and T-Mobile USA Variantsby Brian Klug on June 20, 2012 12:01 AM EST
Before we dive into the review of Samsung’s Galaxy S 3 variants for the USA (henceforth SGS3), it’s worth it to quickly talk about how much the SGS3 launch in the US differs from that of SGS2. Since announcing the international SGS3, it has been just under a month and a half, and here we are with finalized software and hardware and devices which will be on retail and carrier shelves within a week. When rumors of the SGS3 started circulating, one of the things that resonated the most for me was that Samsung was going to put a lot of emphasis on the USA launch, and dramatically narrow the gap between announcement and availability. When you look at that roughly month and half, and compare to the SGS2 launch, which started with its announcement at MWC and launch in the USA in September and October, it’s really obvious to see how much that ended up being true.
Reviewing the SGS3 USA variants is much easier this time, since all of the devices are basically identical, with the exception of air interfaces. They share the same exact exterior dimensions, display, battery, and accessories. With the exception of those air interfaces, all five variants ship with the same Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 SoC at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of LPDDR2 RAM, 8 MP rear facing camera, dual band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microSD card slot. The only difference is whether you get one with 16 or 32 GB of onboard storage, some software preloads, and the appropriate bands and cellular interfaces for the carrier.
I cannot state enough how huge that is for Samsung, as for the first time we have something other than the iPhone shipping in a nearly identical form on five different carriers. When you look at the evolution of Galaxy S, you can see how much Samsung has built upon this more and more each generation to get to this point. With Galaxy S, there was no consistent branding or naming in the USA - you had variants like the Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate. With SGS2 Samsung nailed down the branding part way (all the variants were “Samsung Galaxy S 2” and then some carrier specific suffix) but ultimately had some differences in hardware platform (one was Exynos 4210, most were APQ8060). With SGS3 Samsung now has nailed down the exterior appearance and battery form factor (which will foster a big accessory ecosystem), the last part of the branding (all of the variants are just Samsung Galaxy S 3), and the hardware platform itself (same display, camera, SoC, etc). It’s obvious that Samsung understands the value of having a coherent message and launch spread across the carriers. A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play with basically all of the SGS3 variants in NYC, and get a first hand appreciation for how consistent things are across the lineup now. Without looking at the branding on the back of the phone (note that it isn’t on the front, for once), there literally is no dead giveaway that one SGS3 is a Verizon model, or a T-Mobile model, or an AT&T, or a Sprint model. That alone says quite a lot.
Anyhow, on to the devices themselves. I was sampled the T-Mobile and AT&T SGS3s by Samsung just a few days ago, and have been playing with them, benchmarking, and battery life testing them nonstop. Since seeing the SGS3 at the launch event in London, I have to admit that the design has grown on me considerably.
Samsung claims that its SGS3 design is derived from nature, and I guess you can somewhat see a connection between a device with a mostly spherical overall shape and large radii curves, and the spherical form that gravity induces orbital bodies into into being. Either way, it’s a clear evolution of the APQ8060 based SGS2 devices that we saw at the end of the SGS2 rollout - phones like the T-Mobile SGS2 or AT&T SGS2 Skyrocket - and thus shouldn’t have come as a huge surprise.
I played with a white model at the Unpacked 2012 event which was the first time I’d seen SGS3, and set my impressions about aesthetics based on that color. Samsung made sure to sample both colors for launch – pebble blue, and white. Oh, and the blue color is indeed the same across all 5 variants. After seeing both, I have to admit I prefer the pebble blue device, since it has a unique metallic appearance in the right light which definitely sets it apart.
The last differentiation is that AT&T will get a red color that I haven’t seen demonstrated yet, though that’s at some unknown point in the future this summer. For now, the white or pebble blue choice will be the one most customers will be forced to make. Just like other white devices, my main gripe is that although the color hides surface scratches (sleeks) and fingerprints better, dirt on the surface casts a shadow through the front glass onto the white below, and is easy to spot on the back plastic.
Samsung has largely made the same material choices with the SGS3 as it has other phones in the past, which means the exterior is entirely shiny, glossy plastic. The result is in-palm feel which really is a throwback to the initial Galaxy S or Nexus S. That choice is probably my only real gripe with the device overall, and it’s the result of a weight minimization design direction by Samsung’s design team more than anything else. The thought process is that customers value lighter weight devices over ones with beefier, metallic material choices. In addition, optimizing for lighter weight translates to less potential energy when dropped from a given height. I think it’s totally valid for Samsung to make that case, but I still find myself wishing that the SGS3 had used the textured surface that SGS2 did for the backside, which seemed to yield the best of both worlds. I wish even more that the device had a more unique feel like the bead-blasted polycarbonate or plasma-sputtered metal that other OEMs have gone with.
The other thing to talk about is how much bigger the SGS3 is compared to other phones, and the answer is really that it isn’t much larger than the Galaxy Nexus. In fact, if you look at the comparison table below, you’ll notice it’s both 2 mm wider and 1 mm taller than the Galaxy Nexus, but thinner and lighter. That’s not bad at all considering display size has gone up from 4.65“ to 4.8” diagonal, and I believe people just inspecting display size expected a dramatically larger device than the SGS3 ended up being.

As an aside, I think far too much time has been spent debating the optimal display size. Clearly there are two factors at play here - a larger display is something immediately appealing to mass market shoppers, but at the same time there is an upper bound to overall device size for pocketability. The factor that often gets left out of most of these smartphone display size discussions that most shoppers aren’t my (or the AnandTech readership) demographic, male, 18–34, and obsessed with the latest and greatest tech. There’s an increasingly aging populace in the US with degrading eyesight, and for them, larger displays translate to a real value prospect. I find the Galaxy Note to be my personal upper bound for pocketable devices for a few reasons, and since the SGS3 is smaller, I have no issue.
Button placement on the SGS3 is standard fare for a Samsung phone. The standby/lock button is on the top right side of the device, right where your thumb rests if held in the right hand, or index finger for the left hand.
The volume rocker is on the left side the same place on the device, and the headphone jack is up top. MicroUSB gets located at the bottom, just like the SGS2.
There are two microphones on the SGS3, one up top just right of the thumb groove for the battery cover, one at the bottom just to the right of microUSB. These are used for ambient noise cancelation on calls and stereo audio recording for video just like so many other phones now.
Peeling the battery cover off it’s immediately apparent how much space the SGS3 dedicates to battery, which is now a relatively gargantuan 7.98 watt-hours.
Samsung has also gone to a 3.8V nominal (as opposed to 3.7V) Lithium-ion battery chemistry, joining the ranks of Motorola who was first to adopt this higher voltage. Samsung continues to use the battery surface as the place to locate the NFC coil antenna. Interestingly enough just left of that are two pogo pins ostensibly for using a wireless charger back (which Samsung has shown), so I’m assuming Samsung’s hardware will disable NFC while you have that inductive charger attached. Below the battery is the microSIM port, and microSD port which now accommodates up to 64 GB microSDXC cards. At the very top is the speakerphone grille, 8 MP camera, and LED flash.
On the front up top are (from left to right) the RGB notification LED, earpiece grille, proximity and ambient light sensor, and 1.9 MP front facing camera. At bottom is the other interesting design consolidation for SGS3 - all five USA variants include the three button scheme that was previously basically only used in international phones. At left is menu, middle is home, and right is back. This is different from the three button scheme that HTC has adopted (back, home, and task switcher) and means that Samsung doesn’t need to use an on-screen menu button for applications which haven’t fully depreciated its use. These buttons disappear completely when they’re not backlit, which is awesome but can be initially confusing for users getting used to the three button scheme. Personally, I appreciate how they completely disappear on both the white and pebble blue variants.
Like Samsung did with the Galaxy Note, they’re also making a battery cover with an attached folding front cover. The inside material is soft felt, the outside is a lightly ribbed pleather. I liked the cover when I saw it the Galaxy Note, and like it on the SGS3 a whole lot. I hate screen protectors, but at the same time protecting the display against dirt (or other phones…) scratching it by using something makes sense when it’s in your pocket.
That pretty much wraps up my thoughts on the aesthetics of the SGS3, and the USA variants completely mimic the international version. It’s a design which has grown on me in the month and a half since I saw it officially unveiled and will no doubt be wildly successful in spite of not mapping 1:1 to the enthusiast wish list.

When the Big Apple Circus returns to New York’s Lincoln Center in October, it will be by trans-continental ocean liner, long-distance luxury train, Ford Model T, and by airplane. It’s all part of this season’s circus theme, The Grand Tour, which highlights the romance and novelty of travel in the 1920s.
“We’re really trying to capture the ... time when travel was something people really looked forward to because it was so new,” says Mark Lonergan, director of The Grand Tour. “The idea of going on a trip on one of these modes of transportation was something just extraordinary.”
This year marks the 38th season for the Big Apple Circus, which has gained a reputation for its impressive acrobatics, international acts, and nonprofit mission that seeks to bring the joy of the circus to all regardless of income.
In this new show, an international cast of performers such as the African acrobatic group Zuma Zuma, the Chinese hand balancers The Energy Trio, and Russian aerialist Sergey Akimov will lead the audience on a journey across the world. First, they’ll sail from New York City to Europe, then board the Orient Express to cross the continent by rail. After wandering the desert in an explorer’s Model T, they’ll fly back to New York City at the end of the show.
But no, there won’t be bringing any ocean liners or locomotives into the Big Top, Lonergan says. Instead, the performers and the backdrop will evoke these modes of transportation, whether it’s a clown carrying a steering wheel and car door or an aerialist flying an airplane around the ring by hand. “It’s imagining from almost a childlike point of view how do we evoke the idea of the transportation if we were playing with our friends at age six,” Lonergan explains.
In a time when airplane travel is so routine that people wear their schlubbiest pajamas for an overnight flight, Lonergan says this theme is about reliving the “golden age” of travel when everything was new. Though it might be hard now to imagine a refined dinner with china, flowers, and impeccably dressed waiters on your long-distance trail across Europe, he says, back then it “was part of the experience.”
Although the Big Apple Circus always has an international cast roster, Lonergan says there was a greater emphasis on that aspect in casting for this show. As a result, The Grand Tour’s cast hails from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, helping the audience explore the world that much more. But even though the cast is taking the audience on the trip, Lonergan says the point is not to stop in any destination for too long. “It’s the getting there that’s the fun in our show,” he says.
The Big Apple Circus’ The Grand Tour premieres at Lincoln Center on October 21, 2015 and runs through January 10, 2016. Tickets are available online.

Getting an overview on causes and signs of high blood pressure
The rate of blood flow through the veins is known as blood pressure. High blood pressure or hypertension is a state when the blood pressure has increased to abnormal levels. When arteries become narrow, it creates a resistance against the flow of blood, and as a result, there is a tendency of high blood pressure. In such cases, you must keep high blood pressure charts handy to maintain a track of your pressure level against the normal pressure levels.
Causes of high blood pressure
There is no specific reason for high blood pressure. After the age of 40, you must keep a check on yourself to ensure you maintain normal pressure levels according to high blood pressure charts.
There are a number of reasons of high blood pressure.
• Inherited from your parents
• Organ malfunction in the body. For example, if your kidney does not work properly, the normal balance of salt and fluid in your body will be disturbed. As a result, your blood pressure will become high.
• Thyroid problems
• Intake of illegal drugs or excess consumption of alcohol
• Problems in adrenaline hormone secretion
• Prolonged unhealthy lifestyle, leading to weight problems and obesity
Symptoms of high blood pressure
There many signs that indicate abnormalities in blood pressure levels, some of which are mentioned below:
• Sudden change in vision
• Shortness of breath, especially during physical exertion
• Sudden bleeding of nose
• Dizziness and chest pain
• Blood in the urine
Apart from the symptoms that are mentioned here, sometimes you will see that even when you have an increase in your blood pressure level, you won’t face any significant symptoms. So it is necessary that you go through and understand high blood pressure charts to try and keep your pressure levels within the normal range.
If the blood pressure shows an abnormal reading for a long time, you should take the doctor’s advice and opt for timely high blood pressure treatment, before it becomes problematic.

All aboard! Bridgy Jones (no, not Bridget Jones) is an interesting puzzle game where players take control of the title character and chase down a run away train. Filled with creativity, charisma and challenge, it’s sure to keep you entertained for hours on end. Also the game has 32 levels with 120 additional objectives so there is plenty of content. And if none of these are good enough reasons to pick it up I got one more reason for you: Bridgy Jones has a dog named ‘Bonner’. Boom! You’ve got my attention.
There are two main styles of play per level. The first of which is a creation phase where players must build a track for Bridgy to travel on, the second of which players must navigate him across this path in a platformer fashion. The main focus of the game is on this first style of gameplay where problem solving is your main tool. At first it seems simple: put the train tracks down from point A to point B. But then you come to realize that the train tracks require wood or rope to hold them up and keep it stable. Also sometimes the ground isn’t available so you’ll need to hold it up from the roof, etc. Most importantly, during this state of play the world is held in suspended animation. Once this is over, you control Bridgy and his train. That’s when rag doll physics kick in. This means that if something isn’t stable it will come crashing down, and if the wood isn’t supportive of the weight enough, it will break. This is extremely entertaining as not only watching senseless destruction is fun, but a trial-and-error approach can be taken towards your gameplay. Sure you can be sloppy and rush through to the end while your architecture crashes behind you sometimes, but building a sturdy path is much more rewarding. Also multiple paths can be taken to find bonuses and more so there is plenty of re-playability on offer.
With all that being said Bridgy Jones can be occasionally frustrating. Sure the tutorial works great but after that players are completely on their own. There are no options for assistance or level skipping, so if you get stuck you’re actually really stuck. However I’m sure while some may see this as a negative, others may see it as a positive as it does renforce a challenge. There’s re-playability as chapter selection is present, and has 120 additional objectives within it’s 32 levels. Sure it can get a little repetitive after a while, but so do most other puzzle games. Plus none of this takes away from the fact it’s a fresh concept that’s executed well.
Visuals & Audio
Bridgy Jones is bursting with personality. From the quirky character designs to the humorous dialogue (“hold on buddy, it’s loading”), Bridgy Jones stands out as very unique looking title. The music goes hand in hand with the theme of visuals, which I can only describe as “family-friendly redneck”, so expect to hear quite a few tunes you can have a hoedown to. Strangely, I dig it. It captures the atmosphere of the game and characters and adds to the game’s wonderful presentation. Clearly, Bridgy Jones has had a lot of polish.
Bridgy Jones is a unique and fun puzzler that’s filled with personality. It’s challenging, fun and full of life. I think it’s pretty clear a lot of time and effort went into Bridgy Jones and the outcome speaks for itself. If you’re after a game that’ll make you scratch your head and maybe even smile a little, jump aboard!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actress Leah Remini has severed ties with the Church of Scientology, a source with knowledge of her decision said on Thursday, making her one of the most high-profile members to quit.
Remini, best known for her role as Carrie Heffernan in the CBS sitcom “King of Queens,” issued a statement following press reports that she had decided to leave the church.
“I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and fans from around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support,” Remini said.
She did not address Scientology directly, but the source told Reuters that Remini’s statement was her confirmation that she had left the church.
The New York Post broke the story early Thursday that Remini was leaving the Church of Scientology after “being subjected to years of ‘interrogations’ and ‘thought modification’ for questioning leader David Miscavige’s rule,” citing an unnamed source.
Remini’s representatives would not comment on the New York Post article. Representatives for the Church of Scientology did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
SCIENTOLOGY AND CELEBRITIES
The actress, 43, has spoken publicly in the past about being a member of the Church of Scientology, which was founded in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard and has attracted several Hollywood stars including Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
The organization describes its practices as a religion and believes man is an immortal being whose experience extends beyond one lifetime.
But some observers – including media mogul Rupert Murdoch – liken it to a cult. Critics think the group coerces followers to think like they do, and they accuse Scientologists of harassing people who seek to quit.
The church came under fresh scrutiny last year when actress Katie Holmes suddenly divorced Cruise, with whom she has one daughter. Although there was speculation that Holmes had rejected Scientology, neither she nor Cruise addressed a split over the faith.
In an April 2001 interview with CNN, Remini said she “finds solace in her steadfast practice of Scientology,” and jumped to the defense of the religion.
“If somebody is going to get turned off about something because of what they read or heard, then that person’s not smart enough to even enter a church,” Remini said to CNN.
Other notable former Scientology members include director Paul Haggis, who spoke out in detail about his experiences with the church in a New Yorker article in February 2011.

The Department of Labor (DOL) should improve its marketing outreach for its
One-Stop Career Centers designed to connect employers and job seekers at the local level, according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and its affiliate the Council for Global Immigration.
SHRM made the recommendations in comments submitted to the DOL June 15, 2015, as the department implements the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), a comprehensive set of reforms to the public workforce system signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2014.
“We agree with WIOA’s goal of improving job and career options for our nation’s workers through an integrated system that links the skills of job seekers to the needs of business,” said Mike Aitken, vice president of government affairs at SHRM. “[We] believe successful partnerships between employers and local intermediaries such as one-stops to address skill needs are most likely to succeed if the partnership is demand-driven and focused on the needs of employers in the local community,” he said.
The implementation of the revamped law offers a great opportunity for “improved promotion of available services and outreach to local businesses,” Aitken said. “Many employers view the public workforce system as serving individual job seekers and are unaware of the various resources and services available to employers.”
SHRM would especially like to see the DOL increase its promotion of training services that are available to employers. “This is important because recent SHRM research suggests a downturn in company investments in many forms of job training. Smaller employers and employers in regionally disconnected areas, in particular, could benefit from partnering with the local one-stop to assist with training needs,” according to Aitken.
SHRM surveyed its members who interact with the public workforce system and found that they were most likely to utilize the system to post job openings and to advertise their presence at local job fairs. Members were less likely to utilize the individualized training accounts and many were unaware that training services existed in their communities.
Another challenge SHRM members identified was that the current system did not effectively respond to the needs of employers. Respondents said that the system often produces a multitude of applicants, few of which are actually qualified for the available positions. “The need to improve applicant screening is one of the top challenges our members face when using the current system,” Aitken said. “According to HR professionals, applicants sometimes do not show up for their interviews and ignore instructions for the application process, leading to frustration for employers. Effectively pre-screening candidates for the positions might ensure that applicants are truly interested in the opportunity and would improve the relationship and reliability of the system in the eyes of employers.”
SHRM offered the following recommendations to improve the system:
Establish a single point of contact. The DOL should encourage a single point of contact for employers at each one-stop to facilitate connections with employers. “Some regions in the country have established a designated business liaison but clearly identifying a staff person for this function could benefit all one-stops,” Aitken said. SHRM members reported not being clear about who they should be working with in the system. One respondent said a liaison should “understand employer needs … and the system shouldn’t try to fit the needs of business into a government program, but instead should focus on fitting government programs to meet the needs of employers.”
Meet employers where they are. The one-stop staff should conduct outreach with local employers to make connections, including reaching out to one of more than 575 local SHRM chapters within the United States. Nearly every chapter has a designated Workforce Readiness Advocate. One-stop staff could request to present at chapter meetings and SHRM members could train staff on how to coordinate with employers.
SHRM’s partnership with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense office established to promote cooperation and understanding between military service members and their civilian employers, is a prime model for connecting with employer groups at the local level that could be adapted for use by local one-stops.
“Early in our partnership with ESGR, SHRM challenged all of our state councils and chapters to sign the ESGR Statement of Support. The response was tremendous and served as a way to educate SHRM chapters and state councils about ESGR and its services for employers, as well as develop excitement for working together,” Aitken said. Once linkage was established between SHRM members and ESGR and its mission, local ESGR volunteers regularly attended local SHRM chapter meetings, developed relationships and served as a resource for employers with hiring needs. ESGR also regularly exhibits at both national and state SHRM conferences.
Connect employers to services based on identified employer needs. “Employers benefit from demand-driven services from the local one-stop to address their talent management needs,” Aitken said. When asked about training, SHRM members reported that they would benefit greatly if their local one-stop better understood the industry training needs in the local economy and effectively partnered with industry. Employers may be seeking assistance with on-the-job training, or access to incumbent worker training. “One-stops should already be acting as mediators to connect employers with local education and training providers,” Aitken said. “However, many SHRM members do not report receiving this service and would find it valuable.”

Cucumber green mottle mosaic (CGMMV)
Tobamovirus Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus
Cucumber green mottle mosaic (CGMMV) (Tobamovirus Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus) is a viral pathogen of cucurbit. It was first detected in California in 1935.
The CGMMV is spread through infected seeds and soil. The virus can enter the plant through wounds or through root to root contact. Symptoms vary between strains of the virus, but can range from light yellow spots and vein clearing on young leaves, to chlorotic mottling, plant stunting and necrosis on older plants. Once a plant is infected, there is no known cure, therefore the best management method is to prevent the infection of the virus.

Brain Scan Wallet by John T. Sheets - Trick
- Send to a Friend
|The Ultimate utility Peek Wallet you've been dreaming of has arrived! |
After discussing the possibility of thought transference, the performer, removes a business card from a small wallet. Folding the card in half, the performer instructs an audience member to think of something important, anything; a number, like a date, or the last 4 digits of their phone or Social Security number. They are then directed to print those digits on the blank portion of the business card and refold the card so no one can see inside. The performer retrieves the card and immediately, with no 'moves' at all, slips the card into an outside pocket on the wallet. The card remains folded and in sight throughout the performance. The performer opens the wallet and peels off a Post-It note from the pad inside. He closes the wallet and sets it aside or hands it to an audience member. He concentrates, looking intently at the spectator, then writes something on the note paper, folds it and places it on a table or in another participant's hand. The first spectator is asked to disclose what they concentrating on. The second participant opens the note to reveal that the mentalist has received those thoughts clearly and absolutely accurately!
With the Brain Scan Wallet, you have maximum peeking security with absolute ease of use. The target card is folded for security and remains in view throughout the entire performance...still retrieve the information perfectly! Throw away those old forcing methods! Forget about playing cards for the final revelation in Mental Epic...with the Brain Scan Wallet they can write anything they want...you can read it immediately with no center tear, no sleight of hand, and no fear!
Unlimited number of effects are possible. Includes a complete routine by Mark Strivings!
Wallet Dimensions (folded) Approximately 4" x 2 1/2" (10cm x 6.25cm)

About the Theatre
The history of The Mick Lally Theatre on Druid Lane
History of the Venue
The Mick Lally Theatre has been the home of Druid’s work since 1979. The building was once a tea storehouse, owned by the McDonaghs, one of Galway’s famous merchant families. Druid negotiated a peppercorn rent with the owners in the 1970s which enabled the company to have its own venue, and the McDonagh family later generously donated the building to Druid.
Druid and the Theatre
Since Druid first moved into the space, the company has been creating groundbreaking theatre which premieres to audiences in Galway, then Ireland and the world. The landmark cultural facility is where the real character and shape of the company took root and has been the creative birthplace of all the company’s work from J.M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World, to Martin McDonagh’s Leenane Trilogy, from the production of The Gigli Concert by Tom Murphy which re-opened the venue in 2009, to the epic theatre event, DruidShakespeare, in 2015.
The Theatre in Recent Years
What was known as Druid Theatre was renamed ‘The Mick Lally Theatre’ in 2011 in memory of Druid co-founder the late Mick Lally. The theatre has since become home to many visiting and local organisations and is a regular venue in annual festival programmes including Galway Theatre Festival, Baboró Children’s Arts Festival, Galway International Arts Festival and Galway Jazz Festival.
Through the years the lane on which the theatre is situated has gone by numerous names; Red Earls Lane, Chapel Lane, Courthouse Lane (there formerly having been a courthouse at the Flood Street end of the lane) and since 1996, Druid Lane, when Galway City Council renamed the lane for Druid’s 21st birthday.

The latest movement in neo-patriarchal evangelicaldom is a call for women to return to covering their heads in worship per the instructions of Paul in 1 Corinthians 11. The movement’s website features a quote from neo-Calvinist scholar R.C. Sproul: “The wearing of fabric head coverings in worship was universally the practice of Christian women until the twentieth century. What happened? Did we suddenly find some biblical truth to which the saints for thousands of years were blind? Or were our biblical views of women gradually eroded by the modern feminist movement that has infiltrated the Church…?” Do you think Sproul is right? If not, what would you say to Sproul and on what authority would you justify your response?
The head-covering movement breaks down their argument into four pieces according to Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians. I don’t think you can wiggle out of their argument if you have a flat view of Biblical interpretation and you disallow the “cultural context” card. So here are the four arguments:
1) Creation Order
“For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man” (1 Corinthians 11:7). The first reason for women to cover their heads is to show that men are superior to women, according to Paul’s anthropology. They are not merely complementarian (“equal with different roles”), according to this verse. If man is the glory of God and woman is the glory of man, then man is an intermediary of God to woman. This verse expresses hierarchy unequivocally; I don’t see any other way to understand it.
If you accept Paul’s word here uncritically without allowance for translation into a different cultural context, then you should leave whatever church you’re a part of and find out how to become a satellite of Mark Driscoll’s church, because this is what he teaches. Paul goes on to say in verses 8-9: “Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.” So understand, women, that according to Paul (at least for the sake of this particular argument), you exist for the sake of men.
2) The Angels
“Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels” (1 Corinthians 11:10). Now this is a little bizarre to me. What do angels have to do with it? The woman writing for the head-covering site turns to Ephesians 3:10 for an explanation: “So that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places,” saying that the “rulers and authorities” are another word for angels. The writer imagines what the angels see when they see men’s shiny bald spots and women’s doo-rags in worship together from heaven:
They see males and females worshiping together as equals. On top of all that through head coverings our women show all present that their position as a woman is also redeemed. No longer are they at war usurping and longing for the mans position of authority (Gen 3:16). Instead they’re content in the role God ordained for them in Genesis 2.
The problem with this sentence is that exemplifies the tortured logic of complementarianism. No, men and women aren’t “worshiping together as equals” in this arrangement. Paul made it clear in 1 Corinthians 11: the head-covering is not intended to express different but equal, but superior and inferior. You can’t have it both ways. What about Galatians 3:28 where it says “there is no longer male and female”? If Galatians 3:28 and 1 Corinthians 11 are of equal weight, then we are at an unresolvable impasse, because Galatians 3:28 contradicts everything that Paul has just said in 1 Corinthians 11:7-9. (That’s why I say Galatians 3:28 is the universal while 1 Corinthians 11 is the pastorally contextual, but anyway…)
By the way, the writer advances a completely eisegetical interpretation of Genesis 3:16, which has nothing to say about women longing for the man’s position of authority: “To the woman he said, I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” The most straightforward interpretation of this sentence is that the woman’s desire for her husband is the cause of his ruling over her, i.e. that their relationship hierarchy is a reflection of the curse of sin.
“Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him?” 1 Corinthians 11:13-14. If Paul’s view of “nature” is prescriptively binding upon us as believers today, then any male youth pastor who has ever had long, nappy hair for the sake of “relevance” has degraded himself.
Interestingly and unsurprisingly, the head-covering site supports its argument by going to another place in Paul’s letters where he talks about what’s “natural” and what isn’t — the infamous anti-gay clobber verse of Romans 1:26-27: “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another.” Basically, the argument of the head-covering site is that if you’re going to accept Paul’s view of “nature” as prescriptively binding on the homosexuality issue, then you have to accept it on the head-covering and gender hierarchy issue too. I agree with them.
4) Church Practice
“If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God” (1 Corinthians 11:16). The writer of the website explains that she thought this verse let her off the hook for wearing head-coverings along the lines of Paul’s counsel to believers about not being contentious over “disputable matters” in Romans 14. But when she connects verse 16 with verse 2 (“I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I handed them on to you”), she concludes that Paul is saying there is no other church in which women don’t cover their heads to pray.
She uses this verse to stave off the escape hatch that some conservative evangelical women try to deploy with the alleged Corinthian temple prostitution that might be behind these teachings:
Some argue that Paul commanded women to practice head coverings because if they didn’t they may be identified with the temple prostitutes in Corinth who didn’t wear one. However, in verse 16 Paul shows that this goes beyond Corinth and is the practice of all churches, everywhere. Just think geographically of the churches that were in existence at this time: Corinth, Phillipi, Thessalonica, Ephesus, Iconium, Caesarea, Antioch and many more. They all practiced head coverings. All these churches have a mixture of Jews and Gentiles fellowshipping in them and are from different cultures. They are spread out geographically over thousands of miles over such places as modern day Israel, Turkey & Greece. Yet, they all hold to the same Christian doctrine regarding head coverings. How can such unity be accounted for except the church understanding head coverings as a command for all Christians?
So what do you think? Has she convinced you? If you are a Biblical inerrantist without anything governing your Biblical interpretation other than the “self-interpreting” text itself, then you’d better go buy a hijab before Sunday. As for me, I have several lenses that I use by which I evaluate all the nuts and bolts instructions that I read in the Bible.
1) “I desire mercy not sacrifice.”
Hosea 6:6 is the only Old Testament verse that Jesus quotes twice in the same gospel, in Matthew 9:13 and Matthew 12:7. In both cases, Jesus is defending people who are being judged by Bible-quoting Pharisees, first Matthew’s party guests and then his disciples picking grain on the Sabbath.
It will require a book to talk about all the implications of mercy not sacrifice, but here’s my best paragraph summary. When I see the greater arc of scripture through this lens, it seems to me that God is saying that He does not need us to act in a certain way or abstain from certain things for the abstract sake of honoring him, which would be sacrifice. It is rather that all of God’s instructions concerning our holiness shape our hearts so that we can embody the mercy He wants to make sovereign over all of us, which is best exemplified in the instinctive actions of Jesus’ paradigmatic merciful figure, the Good Samaritan. One verse that corroborates seeing this as the purpose of God’s teaching is what Jesus says in Mark 2:27: “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” Or Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His poetry, created in Christ Jesus for good works.” I could add about twenty other proof-texts but I’m not going to.
To make Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 11 into a universal prescription for all Christians at all times seems to me to affirm sacrifice instead of mercy; it’s saying that God has an order with which He created things that we just need to follow without any other sanctifying reason for doing so. Ultimately I understand God to be a pragmatist; everything He commands of us is for a real loving purpose, not merely to be decorations who “know their place” on His well-ordered shelf. Scripture bears witness to the way that religion is most abused by those for whom mercy has no place in God’s purpose, who make it instead all about God’s honor. Many evils have been committed for the sake of abstract honor (google honor killing, for example). That’s why God makes it clear through Jesus that He desires mercy not sacrifice.
2) “Love God; love your neighbor”
Since Jesus said that all the law and prophets hang on the two commandments to love God and love your neighbor, St. Augustine concluded in his De Doctrina Christiana that unless we can explain how a particular teaching increases love of God or neighbor, we do not understand it well enough to apply it in practice. The challenge with this lens is that it can be immediately tossed aside by saying, “Well, if you love God, then you’ll do what His book says to do” (according to whatever is its most straightforward, “self-interpreting,” presupposed to be universal meaning). When you use that logic, you’re in effect saying that interpretation itself is unloving to God.
So in order for the Great Commandment to actually function as an interpretive lens in the sense in which Augustine suggested, I need to be able to explain how a particular Biblical teaching increases my love of God or neighbor, or if I’m going to claim that it isn’t universally applicable, I need to have an account for why it was a love God, love neighbor issue in its original pastoral context. And if you’re going to say that everything in the Bible is universally prescriptive, then you’d better find some rattlesnakes to play with (Mark 16:18).
Love of God has to do with worship, which I understand to be most purely delighting in God for His own sake. This involves purifying myself of the tendency to “worship” as an act of performance in which I am doing it “to be seen by others” (Matthew 23:5), to feel a sense of superiority and self-justification for myself, or to win favor from a God whom I do not trust to have already loved me unconditionally.
Worshiping God also requires smashing every other idol in my life that I make into a god, including individual Biblical teachings that are being overemphasized to the detriment of the Bible’s overall witness. Now here an interesting issue comes up. I see us living through a time in which “traditional gender” has become an idol among the conservative evangelicals.
I recognize that there are very real problems with sexuality in our culture that we need to defend ourselves against. But when girls have to wear extra-large t-shirts and shorts over their bathing suits to go to church youth swimming parties, their bodies are being fetishized in a way that goes far beyond an earnest desire for holiness. This fetishization not only interferes with girls’ ability to worship God fully without shame; it consumes the attention of the church community in all sorts of demon-attracting ways. With regard to the question of head-coverings, I worry that head-coverings in our context of idolized “traditional gender” would serve to reinforce that idol and take worship away from God, putting the focus instead on our performance of “traditional gender.”
Now the other side of the Great Commandment is love of neighbor. In Paul’s 1st century context, if uncovered hair had an erotic connotation, then for women to cover their heads in church would be a loving thing to do for the sake of men in the community. But in the context of today’s neo-patriarchal movement, the “love your neighbor” implications of such teachings have proven to be quite different, and tragically so.
We have seen report after report in the last few years of sexual abuse that occurs in neo-patriarchal churches with impunity as a direct result of the power dynamics created when bareheaded men have all the authority and covered-up women don’t. If the reason for women to cover their heads is to make it clear that men have all the authority, then the head-covering itself serves to reinforce the implicit teaching that when Deacon Bobby touches you, you don’t do or say anything that would disrespect his authority.
So the universal use of Paul’s teaching fails both the love God and love neighbor criteria for me, though it fulfills both in the particular pastoral context of 1st century Corinth. Since all scripture is supposed to be “useful [see the pragmatism] for teaching and making disciples,” that simply means that we need to translate Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 11 into our context. To translate the “problem” of 1st century women letting down their hair into our context means to me that men and women both should think about how we can dress in such a way that will maximize the love of God and neighbor when we gather for worship.
We need to recognize that there are a variety of possibilities for interpretation here. Should we dress drably for the sake of humility or beautifully for the sake of creating an ambiance of delight in God? Should we dress informally to show hospitality to the outsider or elegantly so that we will enter more deeply into the holiness of the space? I don’t think that establishing hard and fast rules is the point so much as being prayerful and loving in deciding how you can balance delighting in God through your fashion with avoiding a distraction for others. And if you look at 1 Corinthians 11 and conclude that you need to wear a hijab, I won’t judge you.

The VS-XO Premium Dual Overdrive by Visual Sound!
The right channel has pronounced mids without being honky. In addition to Drive, Tone, and Volume knobs, it also has a 3-way Clipping (diodes) switch, a 3-way Bass switch, and a Clean Mix knob. The left channel also has Drive, Tone and Volume knobs, along with a Bass knob, but with flat mids, making it sound very amp-like. The VS-XO is a tone-experimenter’s dream pedal. The sound options are nearly endless.
On top of that, the VS-XO is the first Visual Sound pedal to incorporate True-Bypass, but done our way. Bob Weil invented foot-switches which look traditional, but interact with gold-plated relays, and will last forever. RG Keen invented a circuit to keep them quiet. You also have the choice of internally switching the Pure Tone buffer on or off with each channel.
If you use a switching system or want to change the order of effects, no problem… separate Ins and Outs allow for that. If you just want to plug one cable in and one out normally, you can do that too. And since we didn’t skimp on anything having to do with reliability, the VS-XO is covered by the Visual Sound Lifetime Warranty.

Global Commercial Insurance Rates Decrease Again: Marsh
Average global insurance rates decreased for the 18th consecutive quarter, although the rate of decline slowed in the third quarter of 2017 (down 1.6 percent) as compared to the prior quarter (down 2.2 percent), according to broker Marsh’s Global Insurance Market Index for the third quarter of 2017.
Marsh reports that rate decreases slowed globally in the third quarter of 2017 across property and financial and professional lines. Global property rates declined, on average, by 1.7 percent in the third quarter compared to a decrease of 2.8 percent in the prior quarter. Financial and professional lines declined, on average, by 1.4 percent, compared to a 2.1 percent decrease in the previous quarter. Casualty rates remained unchanged from the second quarter (down 1.7 percent).
Rate movements varied by region, according to the Marsh index, which saw a higher rate of average decrease in the U.S., continental Europe and Latin America in the third quarter as compared to the prior quarter. Average rates decreased in the U.K. and Asia in the third quarter, but at less pronounced levels than observed in the prior quarter. Rates increased in Australia for the third consecutive quarter.
Dean Klisura, president of Global Placement and Specialties at Marsh, said that the average rates declined globally “largely due to capacity in the marketplace and competitive underwriting.”
Klisura added that property damage and business interruption losses from the recent natural disasters in the U.S. and elsewhere had little to no impact on average rates in the quarter as they occurred late in the reporting period, but “early indications are showing evidence of rate increases for U.S. catastrophe-exposed property risks.”
The Marsh Global Insurance Market Index is a proprietary measure of commercial insurance premium rate change at renewal, representing the world’s major insurance markets and comprising 90 percent of Marsh’s premium. The index captures a rolling four-quarter view of rate movement, providing a quarter-to-quarter look at changes in the marketplace. The rate change captures year-over-year rate movement, measured quarterly. The index and rate change metrics are based on a combination of statistical data and input from Marsh placement leaders worldwide.

I just received my stand last night and I have to say out of the box, SUPER easy to use. It comes with 2 different types of mounts, the usb hub to plug in external things like receipt printers and cash drawers and even a barcode scanner. A lot of reviews said the Air 2 didn’t fit properly, but mine fit perfectly and they even include a special screw to hold it in the stand. I tested it and even picked it up an jiggled it. The ipad stayed in place. I will definitely be adding a receipt printer and cash drawer for my craft shows. Anyone on the fence should definitely give this a try!

@SeaBeadDesign – There shouldn’t be any issues using the Square Chip Card Reader, although I highly recommend the Square Contactless and Chip Card Reader. It pairs wirelessly, and allows your customers the option to use ApplePay and Android Pay.
– The printer is very user friendly. U dont really need a manual for it. As long as you have NFC in ur phone. Or bluetooth. Just connect it. And it’ll open the app. Automatically, or take you to the app market to download the free app.
Few people, when packing for a trip, would consider bringing along a printer. Big and bulky printers don’t make good travel mates. But, like so many other technology products, printers have gotten ever smaller and lighter, and plenty of viable choices for portable printers have appeared in recent years. Whether you need to print contracts, invoices, reports, photos, or labels, you can find that one that will do the job, and be convenient enough to take with you anywhere you may need it.
The Kitchen Buzzer connects directly the RJ11 port on the back of the printer. The buzzer sounds when a print job is sent to the TSP100. This is beneficial for high noise environments like kitchens to alert cooks that orders have been sent.
The problem is the 3port usb hub. On one stand I onlyy have 1 of the 3 ports that works at all. On another stand I have to disconnect and then reconnect the usb’s to the printer and scanner. Square wont just send you a new cable, you have to file a warrenty claim and wait 5 to 7 business days to get a new stand. This is extremely poor customer service as I have 2 locations that have non functioning equipment. For the love, just send me replacement chords so I can have my business up and running. This service issue has me reconsidering square as my point of sale.

Great little printer. Very compact. Works incredibly well with Paypal Here on an iPad, setup was a breeze. Only wish would be a little more battery life as extra batteries are expensive ($60 each!). I used it for 3 hours and maybe a dozen prints and that expended about half the battery.
Strong performance, reliable, a must have! We use square pos have no problems, kitchen tickets life saver! Tickets printed from are iPad mini within 2 seconds, no problems with Bluetooth connection, now are printer is only 3 feet away from iPad maybe that helps. Been using this printer for about two years, will never go back to hand written order tickets! Well worth the price!!!!!
Revolutionary ruggedised portable Bluetooth printer offering high connectivity and functionality at minimal cost. The SM-T300i is compatible with Apple™, Android™ and Windows™ devices, allowing the user to seamlessly migrate to another OS if required; with demo apps available on iTunes and Google Play .
With so many receipt printers on the market, it’s hard to know which one will support your software while giving you the best return on your investment. Thankfully, we have researched and reviewed these printers, testing them against software packages, and have determined that these are the best receipt printers in their class. From impact printing for kitchens and dry cleaners, to fast retail receipt printers for customer checkout, these printers will give you the best experience at your business.
Finally, two other issues fall loosely under the heading of quality: ruggedness and lifetime. Don’t expect much in the way of ruggedness for fine art papers for exhibition, but you do need it for stacks of 4-by-6s that you might hand out for people to look through. Photos from most printers today are reasonably waterproof and scratch resistant, but some fare better than others.
POS printers and accessories allow you to enhance the functionality of your existing point-of-sale hardware. These devices add the ability to display pricing to your customers or create a printed receipt for each transaction. This promotes solid customer service experiences.

I have been working on a project to create an online accountability, transparency and empowerment tool to measure empowerment principles in the delivery of health and social services to people with HIV.
We talk so much about “empowerment”, but defining it has been somewhat more difficult. There are amazing programs and examples of empowerment principles in practice, but defining and measuring empowerment is difficult. This is reminiscent of US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in 1964, when the court was wrestling with defining pornography. Justice Stewart said “I know it when I see it”. Many of us recognize empowerment when we see it.
The Denver Principles Empowerment Index is an idea to enable us to measure empowerment and, as a result, improve health outcomes, create a more equitable and effective service delivery system and increase participation in civic processes.
Here’s a link to a proposal I wrote describing the Denver Principles Empowerment Index. I am eager to hear comments; this project is in its early stages and I know it will be greatly improved once the community and, especially, those experienced in service delivery, have a chance to consider the idea and provide comment. Below are a few thoughts about the history of the empowerment movement.
A Brief History of the PLWHIV Empowerment Movement
The self-empowerment movement for people with HIV was formally founded with a manifesto written by a group of people with AIDS in 1983.Known as the Denver Principles, it outlines rights and responsibilities for people with AIDS and provides recommendations to healthcare professionals, family and friends.
It was later referenced in the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, the 1994 UNAIDS Paris Declaration, signed by 42 countries, which outlined the Greater Involvement of People with AIDS (GIPA) principle and the 2008 Mexico Manifesto.
The Denver Principles document is historic in its assertion that those who have HIV/AIDS have a fundamental and inalienable right to participate in the decision-making that would so significantly impact their lives and survival.
While that concept was radical in regards to healthcare, it was not original.It was inspired by the feminist health movement as well as elements of traditional community-based healing systems. But in 1983, the medical establishment, pharmaceutical-industry and public health policymakers were hardly the champion of these inclusive ideals; more typically they were their enemy.
These existing institutions poorly served, if not entirely ignored, the healthcare needs of sexual minorities.The advent of a deadly new illness that was rapidly killing gay men was viewed as punishment for immorality as often as it was viewed as a health crisis that urgently demanded attention.
There was also an absence of political will or leadership to address the burgeoning crisis; it was soon obvious that the government, medical establishment and pharmaceutical industry would not respond with the urgency, care or commitment necessary.
So the LGBT community--inspired by the ideals expressed in the Denver Principles--created its own response. It was an achievement unparalleled in history, with an outpouring of volunteerism, activism, caring and love that defined a generation and has had an impact far beyond the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Thousands of organizations created by people with HIV, their partners and nearest loved ones pioneered new models for engaging and empowering communities and individuals impacted by AIDS.
The Denver Principles opens with the statement “We condemn attempts to label us as ’victims,’ a term which implies defeat, and we are only occasionally ’patients,’ a term which implies passivity, helplessness, and dependence upon the care of others. We are people with AIDS.”
That meeting in Denver was not only the first time a group of people with AIDS from around the country got together to define themselves and strategize politically, but it was also the first time in the history of humanity that a group of people who shared a disease organized and asserted their collective rights.
Over time, the initial AIDS activists who championed the self-empowerment movement died or became overwhelmed and exhausted from their years of social and political action. As the epidemic spread and settled into communities already ravaged by poverty and discrimination, the leadership of the self-empowerment movement became displaced and the epidemic institutionalized.
This created an abdication of the self-empowerment agenda, compartmentalizing the epidemic rather than taking into account the relevant sub-factors that continued to fuel it. The pioneering self-empowerment model of service delivery took a backseat to a more traditional--some label it patriarchal or “victim-based”--service delivery model.
A gap emerged between those who provided services and those who received them: staff and boards of directors that once spoke in terms of “us” began thinking and acting in terms of “them”.
AIDS service organizations founded by, or mostly by, people with AIDS often now have only token HIV positive representation, or even no such representation, on their boards of directors. Programs created and developed by communities that sought to empower themselves have been replaced by centrally-created efforts filtered through political and religious agendas.
The level of transparency in governance that was a hallmark of early efforts is now the exception rather than the rule. Advocacy that was integral to virtually every early AIDS service provider’s program is now limited to a dwindling few and often solely focused on funding streams.
Despite the decline in the self-empowerment overall, there remain a number of notable examples of organizations, programs and policies that continue to embrace and develop program and service delivery around the empowerment philosophy.
Moreover, the Denver Principles document is considered iconic by many in the AIDS movement. An effort early in 2009 to ask HIV/AIDS service and advocacy organizations to “recommit” to the concept of self-empowerment and the ideals expressed in the Denver Principles now has more than 400 institutional endorsers. Many recognize the drift away from self-empowerment and are eager for tools to move back towards the self-empowerment service delivery paradigm.
The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion was adopted at an international conference sponsored by World Health Organization, Health and Welfare Canada and the Canadian Public Health Association, November 17, 1986, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Detailed evidence of the correlation between the women’s movement and the AIDS response is shown in Sheryl Ruzek and Julie Becker, The Women’s Health Movement in the United States: From Grass-Roots Activism to Professional Agendas (JAMWA Vol.54, No.1), p. 6.

On Thursday 8 October Writhlington Year 7 boys hosted Milfield in a thrilling Schools Cup Football game.
Team Captain, Will Lacey led the team onto the field, for what was a rollercoaster of a match.
Everyone showed great strength and determination and within a second of the whistle being blown Evander Grubb sprinted down the middle of the pitch and fired in a bullet of a shot! It was 1-0 and we still had 40 minutes to go.
With a real triumphant start we hurried back to the centre spot to kick off again, the ball was played across down the wing to Tom Ellis Rickets who shimmied past a player with ease and played it into Will Rawlings who placed the ball in the far right top corner of the goal! 2-0!
Once again Will Rawlings drove down the middle of the field with pace and then passed the ball neatly to Will Lacey who curled the ball beautifully into the far top left corner- the crowd erupted into cheers like a clap of thunder. The half time whistle sounded and the the score was 3-0.
In great spirits the team prepared for the second half, hoping to keep up the great defense and fierce attack. Tom Markey let the ball fly and drilled home a goal 4-0! Millfield came back with a strong attack but nothing was getting past Harry Matthews and he cleared the ball right away sending it to Will Rawlings, who did not fail to finish.
A free kick for Writhlington saw Evander Grubb score one quickly into the top corner. Tom Markey scored again and so did Will Rawlings the end score was 7-2!
A great performance by Writhlington and well deserved man of the match to Harry Matthews! Keep up the good work Year 7 Football team!

A New Threat to Roe v. Wade ?
From the National Right to Life site
Today’s News & Views June 23, 2005
Brownback (R-Ks.), whose speech to the NRLC national convention last week was frequently interrupted by applause, is convening the Senate Judiciary Committee's Constitution, Civil Rights and Property Rights subcommittee to examine the consequences of the 1970s-era Supreme Court decisions that unleashed abortion on demand. "A number of legal scholars both from the left and the right believe that Roe v. Wade is badly decided law, so we're going to start going at the core issue of Roe and this decision," Brownback told CitizenLink. "I believe you'll see Roe v. Wade overturned."
This is a bad omen. Overturning Roe v. Wade should not be an option. However, I do believe we can and should revisit our abortion laws from time to time. As civilized people, we need to ensure that, while those laws still protect women's right to choose, they also consider new medical and scientific discoveries about fetal pain and stages of development. For two differing opinions on fetal pain, read this article on the American Pain Society's Web site. AbortionFacts.com has more from the other side. I will revisit this topic soon.
TLS, you need to better than this.
You said: "Overturning Roe v. Wade should not be an option."
Why? Because you favor legalized abortion? That's a bad way to interpret the Constitution.
Roe is not supporsed to be about whether one is for or against abortion. It is supposed to be about whether the Constitution prohibits states from preventing abortions. As a matter of Constitutional law, Roe is an awful decision because it invents a right that never existed and is nowhere in the Constitution, and a right which for 200 years no one thought was in the Constitution.
You also said: "However, I do believe we can and should revisit our abortion laws from time to time."
I agree that abortion laws should be revisited from time to time. That's what happens in a democracy. But this is precisely what Roe prevents the state and federal legislatures from doing!
You also said: "As civilized people, we need to ensure that, while those laws still protect women's right to choose, they also consider new medical and scientific discoveries about fetal pain and stages of development."
Look. Let's get rid of that "civilized people" language that dismisses the views of prior generations. Self-proclaimed "civilized people" have also given this country slavery, segregation, and the interrment of over 100,000 Japanese during World War II. The latter two were given us by "civilized people" on the Supreme Court.
In a Constitutional Democracy, the majority gets to imposes the laws it wants so long as they are consistent with the Constitution. Writing new rights into the Constitution does not further Democracy, it undermines it. This is because it means that the rights that are explicit in the Constitution will be that much easier to take away, and thus are not real protections in the first place. And instead of requiring a super-majority to amend the Constitution, all it will take is 5 Supreme Court Justices who think they are more "civilized" than the rest of us.
If you really want to debate The Beginning of Human Life (the title of this blog), you should oppose Roe v. Wade. It is Roe that is currently preventing society from engaging in that debate and from reflecting the conclusions from the debate into the law.
Will, you are correct that the right to an abortion was never in the Constitution. Have you ever considered that it may well have been if there had been any women involved with writing it? Have you considered that although women in this country could stand for election as early as 1788, they did not get the right to vote until 1920? Have you considered the number of women and young girls who died horrible deaths because there was no such thing as legalized abortion? Have you considered that no matter how open minded, no matter how sympathetic to a woman's plight a man might be, nature has ensured that that man can never be empathetic?
I disagree that Roe prevents us from revisiting abortion laws. Unlike more radical feminist thinking, I would like to see an end to third-trimester abortions. The only exception would be if the mother faced almost-certain death. Since there would be room for abuse of this restriction, a second medical opinion should be required.
I continue to have hope for "civilized people," althought that is becoming harder to maintain. Civilization is certainly an evolutionary concept, and I would think that our idea of "civilized people" is more, well, civilized, than that of our ancestors. It is distressing to me that our generation of civilized people has not evolved beyond capital punishment, war, the abuse of animals....
I fail to see how writing new rights into the Constituion leads inevitably to making it easier to remove rights. (Although under the so-called Patriot Act, it's already become too easy to remove some of those rights.)
I think we can still debate the beginning of human life with Roe on the books. It is just that debate that may lead to its being overthrown. Whether that would be "a good witch or a bad witch" is as open to debate as ever.
"[Y]ou are correct that the right to an abortion was never in the Constitution."Post a Comment
This admission alone proves that Roe is bad Constitutional law. The task of interpreting the Constitution is not to determine what the Constitution should have said or what it would have said (such as if women were allowed to vote).
The Constitution specifies how it is to be amended (and you have admitted that that it what Roe did), and it does not give a majority of the Supreme Court this power. No, the Constitution has a very difficult amendment process which requires 2/3 of Congress to approve an Amendment as well as have it ratified by 3/4 of the states.
The purpose of making the amendment process difficult is so that the rights enumerated in the Constitution cannot be taken away. When the Supreme Court views the Constitution as a "living Constitution" it can very easily take away one's rights. In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court authorized segregation despite the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. In Korematsu, the Court authorized the interrment of over 100,000 Japanese without Due Process of Law. In Roe, the Court took away the rights of the unborn as they determined that they were not persons under the Constitution. Just last week, the liberal justices of the Court ruled obliterated the meaning of the 5th Amendment Takings Clause's "public use" requirement when it ruled that local governments may take one's home by eminent domain in order to further "private" economic development.
Regarding your other questions (I consider the above to answered your first question), at the time Roe was enacted, nothing was preventing women from voting to allow legalized abortion, and in states like New York and California it had already happened. A recent NARAL survey determined that if Roe v. Wade were overturned today, 18 states would outlaw abortion in most circumstances. One of the reasons this is the case is because many women oppose legalized abortion. In fact, a large number of men support abortion precisely because it allows them to use women for sex and not have to deal with the consequences.
"Have you considered the number of women and young girls who died horrible deaths because there was no such thing as legalized abortion?"
But this question is irrelevant to the issue of whether Roe v. Wade is good constitutional law, and that is the point you addressed in your post and which I am rebutting.
"I disagree that Roe prevents us from revisiting abortion laws. Unlike more radical feminist thinking, I would like to see an end to third-trimester abortions. The only exception would be if the mother faced almost-certain death."
But the Supreme Court under Roe, Planned Parenthood, and Carhart disagrees with you on this point. No abortion may be prevented in this country under any federal or state law unless there is an exception to save the life and health of the mother. The abortions that you would outlaw may not be outlawed until Roe and its progeny are overturned.
One Roe is gone, the people will be able to outlaw abortion completely, outlaw it with exceptions for the life of the mother or for rape and incest, or outlaw it in the third trimester, etc. But until Roe is overturned, the nation's abortion law will remain what the Supreme Court says it is and it will not reflect the consensus of American men and women.

Eagle Claw is a Chinese martial art known for its gripping techniques system of joint locks, takedowns and pressure point strikes, which is representative of Chinese grappling known as Chin Na. The style is normally attributed to the famous patriotic Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. Popular legends states that he learned martial arts from a Shaolin Monk named Zhou Tong and later created Eagle Claw to help his armies combat the invading armies of the Jin Dynasty.
It was passed down until the Ming Dynasty when the monk Lai Chin combined the style with another form of boxing called Fan Zi. Thus, the style took on long range strikes and aerial jumps. During the Qing Dynasty, the military instructor Liu Shi Jun became known as the modern progenitor of Eagle Claw and taught many students. His student Liu Cheng You later taught Chen Zizheng who was invited to teach the style in the prestigious Chin Woo Athletic Association during the Republican era.
The style spread as Chin Woo opened sister schools in other provinces. Today, it is practiced all around the world. Eagle Claw was the fighting style used by Kitana in Deadly Alliance and Unchained, and it was used by Khameleon in Armageddon.
How the Eagle Claw system is taught varies between each teacher's skill and experiences. What is consistent of an Eagle Claw Master is their knowledge of the 3 core sets of the style:
Xing Quan (行拳) is known as the "Walking Fist." This set consists of ten to twelve rows of techniques representative of what is today known as Shaolin Fanziquan.
Lian Quan (連拳) is known as the "Linking Fist." A very important set in that it not only provides the exponent with an encyclopedic base of the various seizing, grappling and joint-locks of qinna, but it also incorporates various Qigong skills as well. Most have nicknamed this set the "Dictionary of Eagle Claw" due to the content containing probably 90% of the style's skills and techniques.
Yue Shi San Shou (aka Yī Bǎi Ling Bā Qín Ná 一百零八擒拿 – “108 Seize Grab" techniques) is considered the "heart" of the Eagle Claw system. It is believed to be the original material passed down by the style's legendary founder Yue Fei.

Mental Repose, Evolving Creativity and the Literary Dynamism of Group Exchange
Restful repose of the mental kind is not only critical for the phrase-crafter, but has (according to University of California physical anthropologist Katerina Semendeferi) played a significant role in the prehistoric evolution of the innovative mind. In a recent article of Scientific American she delineates clear correlations between increased brain size and complexity (particularly in the prefrontal cortex which appears to orchestrate thought and action to accomplish goals) and spurred levels of creativity. Scanned studies of ancient hominid braincases and the examination of our nearest living evolutionary relatives (chimpanzees and bonobos) depict a selective disposition, generally speaking, for larger brain size - with our australopithecine kin (Australopithecus afarensis dating to approximately 3 million years ago) possessing a cranial capacity of approximately 450 cubic centimeters to Homo sapiens' 1330 cubic centimeters. This relatively spacious expanse of convoluted gray matter comprised wider inter-neural gaps that enabled a proliferation of axons and dendrites - in other words a more complicated connective framework.
However, it is contemporary psychological studies that cast intriguing insight into the manner in which bigger, more complicated brains spur creativity. Cognitive scientist Liane Gabora of the University of British Columbia has conducted studies of creative individuals to find that they are exemplary daydreamers; when confronting an issue they initally allow their minds to wander, facilitating a languid free-association in which one thought or memory spontaneously conjures up another. This process encourages analogies and gives rise to thoughts that approach the subject from disparate perspectives; until upon settling on a vague idea of resolution (perhaps plot development for the modern writer and the most efficient mechanism of stripping meat from the bone for Australopithecus afarensis) they then switch to a more analytic mode of thought, focusing particularly on the most relevant properties.
Neither Australopithecus afarensis, nor the literary-inclined Homo sapiens could afford to linger in the free-associative state in which one nebulous thought triggered the meandering arrival of another (our chopper-wielding ancestor susceptible to attack and starvation, the latter similarly vulnerable to the ceaselessly blank page on which nothing was ever inscribed). Productivity is dependent upon our default neural state: the analytic mode. A critical feature of the innovative brain was the ability to rapidly switch from one mode to the other by subtle alterations of dopamine concentration and other neurotransmitters. Enjoying a remarkable surfeit of neurons is not enough: mental repose and the free-association that accompanies it are critical for breaking free of the cognitive rut.
Another fascinating feature of the creative human brain consists of the cultural ratcheting process in which creative insights and technological innovations arising from the insights of previous generations are passed on; a cumulative acquisition of understood things. For the writer: literary concepts are built upon, refined, and re-examined; indubitably we learn and hone our craft from the narrative examples of what went before. Chaucer inspired Shakespeare, who in turn continued to influence the writings of numerous others subsequently. There are, of course, a countless array of literary greats in the narrative pantheon, all of whom combine innovative threads of their own in subtle company with those of their forebears. Harold Bloom coined the phrase "anxiety of influence" to describe the effect on modern writers of our literary precursors (the canonical giants I am assuming); whether we admire, deride or are intimidated by them we indubitably read them. Fragments, turns of phrase, luminescent depictions of character, particular world perspectives and methods of transcribing it, infiltrate our own writing mind and however unconsciously influence the turn of our own pen.
The nourishment of our creative brain, however, does not depend solely on cultural ratcheting and the cumulative accomplishments of our predecessors - it is also a matter of social interaction (yes, we must intermittently emerge from our literary cave blinking in the unaccustomed glare of the social spotlight). To elaborate upon this theme for a writer predisposed to solitary scribblings, I turn to behavioral primatologist Lewis Dean's experimental puzzle box that comprised three sequential and incrementally difficult levels. This puzzle was presented to a group of capucin monkeys, chimpanzees, and nursery school children. Of the nonhuman primates one of 55 reached level 3 after 30 experimental hours, whereas 15 of the 35 children had completed the hardest level after two and a half hours. The vital distinction between the two groups consisted in the collaborative nature of the human endeavor; the children, in the process of tackling the challenge, talked amongst themselves, offered mutual encouragement, and shared successful techniques.
Archaeological evidence of innovation is similarly demonstrable within larger groups, or clustered settlements that engaged in frequent interaction. In fact scientists now believe that this final cognitive push for cultural ratcheting was born of demographics - the larger the hunter and gathering band the greater the likelihood that one member will generate an idea that could advance a technology. When population density reaches a certain point we see a correlating spike in evidence of creativity: the emergence of complex technological recipes for lightweight stone blades for projectile weapons; cooking silcrete to a specific temperature to improve its flaking qualities; glues comprised of plant gum utilized to adhere point to shaft, and woven bedding manufactured from leaves of the Crypotocarya woodii tree renowned for its natural insecticides effective against disease-borne mosquitoes. Innovations borne of one or few and rapidly disseminated to an appreciative collective.
In a modern age of jostling, teeming, bustling proximity, where writers seek a self-imposed solitude to work on their pain-staking craft it is an intriguing exercise to ponder on the elements that have been prehistorically integral to innovation promotion. Ironically the very attributes which have been definitively associated with writers (that is writing itself coupled with isolation) can also be better honored in the breach than the observance insofar as the innovative brain is concerned: not writing, relaxing the frenetic burst of neural storms, indulging in a languid array of thought-streams, a leisurely succession of languishing musings that enable free-associative idea-connections. And intermittently eschewing literary aloofness for social exchanges that actively spur human creativity; albeit prudently and selectively chosen networks that support, nourish and stimulate the intellectual self. And of course reiterating the critical imperative to read widely and voraciously, to examine and dwell long upon the masters that comprise our literary heritage - for thence will the process of cultural ratcheting benefit our own particular works - as ours may be of interest to those to come. These are things we know: rest, converse, and read - but their palpable benefit to creatives (writers and otherwise) has, with this recent delving into the prehistoric stirrings of innovative accomplishment, acquired a new and most palpable imperative - a strategy acquired and honed over millions of years, and one which may prove useful indeed to us over the course of our brief and flickering lifetime.

The Patterdale Terrier is a tough, courageous and tenacious working breed from Northwest England, particularly from the Lake District of Cumbria. It was invented specifically to exterminate foxes and the other predators that usually pester sheep farmers. The breed can make a nice family pet only if it’s provided with lots of both physical and mental stimulation.
The Patterdale Terrier is a relatively young breed that originally appeared in Patterdale, a small village south of Ullswater (England). Despite its modest age it remains unclear who actually developed this variety of a Terrier. Nonetheless according a general opinion it represents an immediate descendent of the dog invented by Joe Bowman, a breed of Border Terriers. In 1879 he became the owner of the Ullswater Foxhounds and began crossing black-blue Border Terriers with tan-and-black coated Lakeland Terriers. The result of his breeding work became eventually known as the Patterdale Terrier. This new Terrier quickly gained favour with English hunters for its stamina and ferocious nature.
This dog successfully hunts with its human companion in the north of England and South of Scotland, but its main hunting grounds are situated in the Lake District regions and Yorkshire. These lands are notoriously famous for rugged terrains as well as harsh climate. Larger hounds or hunters on horsebacks are useless in such conditions but hardy and agile Patterdale Terrier copes with its hunting duties with flying colour under any circumstances. Thanks to the dog’s narrow chest and capability to sprawl on the ground with the hind legs onward and front legs outward, it almost effortlessly penetrates in the tiny burrows of various rodents (foxes, rabbits and others) and fearlessly fights them.
In the 50s of the XX century the Terrier created by Joe Bowman was additionally perfected by Cyril Breay, a Border Terrier breeder of Kirkby Lonsdale, and Frank Buck of Leyburn, Yorkshire. These two breeders put in lots of work to attain recognition of the Patterdale Terrier as a unique breed. In 1960s Brian Nuttal bought several dogs from the Breay and Buck bloodlines and initiated his own breeding program. Today the breed’s pups from the Nuttal strain are in high demand because of their outstanding quality.
In 1978 the dog found its way to USA where it’s used to quarry wild boars, racoons, badgers and foxes. The United Kennel Club (UKC) recognised the Patterdale Terrier on January 1, 1995.
The Patterdale Terrier is a true hard worker that loves spending its spare time with its human masters. This dog gets intensely attached to its family and displays unwavering loyalty to it. Its inexhaustible vigour makes it a superb playmate for courteous kids. However this breed is probably too boisterous to become a good four-legged buddy for a toddler. Start socialising your dog from the very first day in the house and afterwards it will behave itself adequately in any situation.
The Patterdale Terrier usually treats unknown people with suspiciousness although this breed is by no means vicious. If the dog gets used to the presence of lots of humans in its puppyhood it will always remain calm and reserved in pubic later on. With its strong territorial instinct and bold character it has all necessary prerequisites to become a great watcher. The breed member also won’t hesitate to show aggression if needed and fulfils guarding duties with invariable eagerness.
Other canines are commonly perceived by the Patterdale Terrier as potential rivals so the future master should be aware of such quarrelsome disposition of this breed. Nevertheless it’s accidentally used in pack hunting so the dog can get on relatively well with its congeners if it was timely socialised. This breed poses lethal threat for all non-canine animals as it views them as prey objects. That’s why families and individuals that already have cats and other pets should think twice before obtaining its specimen.
The most common problems for the breed include:
The Patterdale Terrier can have one of three types of coat: smooth, broken or rough and each of them needs different amount of care.
Short-haired specimen of this breed should be brushed rather rarely but the dog with a broken coat may require brushing couple times a week. In addition to regular grooming the fur of the rough-coated Patterdale Terrier should be plucked by hands annually.
The rest is a conventional care that consists of monthly nail clipping, weekly teeth brushing and systematic ear cleaning. The breed sheds permanently but averagely.
It’s difficult to train the feisty and bull-headed Patterdale Terrier, which has typical Terrier’s disposition. It does want to make the master happy but it wants even more to do its own things. The most effective motivational factor for this dog is tasty treats so always support your training efforts with food rewards. Keep your lessons short and fun and avoid repetitive tasks and your pet will learn basic tricks fast and easy.
Of course, it’s rather unwise to demand unquestionable obedience from this breed and advanced obedience training may appear to be too complicated for it to master. Screaming and other forms of negative reinforcement are totally useless in the work with Patterdale Terrier since in this case it usually becomes openly aggressive and unruly.
The Patterdale Terrier was developed as a tireless and passionate hunter and therefore needs a great deal of physical stimulation on a daily basis. Long and active walks are essential for physical and mental well-being of this dog although it’s highly recommended to offer it some kind of exercises, which replicates its hunting duties.
Be aware that this breed is a skilful digger and can dig a tunnel to the other side of the fence in five minutes. That’s why release your pet off-leash only if you are sure that it has zero chances to escape. After an hour or two of playtime in the yard the Patterdale Terrier commonly stays calm and relaxed indoors. On the other hand, an under exercised dog will quickly levels to the ground your house and drives your neighbours mad with continuous barking.

The below was posted on the Seattle Times Husky Basketball Forum, and a thread titled: Disgrace to the program and embarrassed to be a Husky.
The original poster was over the top, and I deleted a bunch of my own complaining about him. What was left is below, and is my response to the recent downturn in the Husky BB fortunes.
I thought Romar's explanation was perfect. This is his fault. He accepted the blame, and yet most of you want to put it on the players. Some of you think coaching is easy, and have the
simple but PERFECT answer to every problem Romar faces.
Yes, it can get frustrating watching our team dismantled by seemingly inferior players. However, if I honestly approach the problem, I cannot think of easy answers. We only have one post
player who can reliably catch the ball. The opponents have learned to remove him from the game and force us to shoot threes.
So what is the answer? Put Suggs, Wilcox, IT, Ross, and MBA in game and bombs away? That was easy. Oh, but rebounding, and defense also comes into the equation. Wilcox, Ross, and Suggs are still developing their defensive skills.
Other than IT getting sloppy, which is a mental error, I thought the team gave a good effort. The first game Duke lost, coach K was very wise. He said, our team gave a good effort, but the other
team gave a better effort. They played really well. They were coached really well. ....that was about all he said, publicly.
Motivating and teaching young athletes is no science. Romar is learning just like everyone else. He is doing fine in my book. Not great, but fine. Let him do his job, and we should do our job which
I suppose does include pretending we are coach and offering ideas. Try to keep it inspirational. Or rationale.
Here is my coaching tip: Next practice, spend half the time allowing everyone to practice their three point shooting. Maybe one on one. The defender giving varied defense from open shots to loosely defended. Maybe a drill where the team plays one minute scrimmages and then immediately goes into the three point shooting practice. Other than Suggs, the entire team is shooting bricks. They are way too tense. They have lost confidence. They need to relax!
Aziz needs to practice CATCHING the ball in the post. Until he learns that he cannot be part of a half court offense. MBA cannot dish off to him when triple teamed. Anyone 7 foot tall
and athletic enough to be playing at the major college level is hoping to get rich in the NBA. Aziz will never make it until he can catch the ball more reliably. Maybe he will never make it, but if he is going to he will have to dedicate himself to putting in the work.
Good luck Huskies! Please spend 20 minutes relaxing before each game. Zen or prayer, it doesn't matter. Then hype yourself up for BATTLE.
Then after the game on the game thread of Percy Allen's Seattle Times Husky Basketball Forum, I wrote the following comment after the Huskies lost a close game to the University of Quack. (Oregon U.)
"Good effort. Well played except for the early turnover problem. OK, the rest of the country is catching up to the leaders all over the country. Everybody is stepping it up and improving their games. That's what this is all about. Why cry about it? We made progress. I think we turned a corner. Now I think they will accept that nothing is going to be handed to them. Work hard on those things which you can control. Rebounding. Good D. Take care of the ball better.
Thomas was sloppy early, but clearly took control in the second half. I think he is mentally tough and will fight through this. Ross and Suggs are growing every game. Keep rebounding and take care of the ball and I think this team will mature into a top competitor. MBA was great, but either lost his focus or tired out at the end.
It isn't that we are less than we were, but others have turned up the heat and we need to make that next step to being tough AND talented. Go Huskies."
Other fans felt similar, and quite a few are filled with despair. Lots of blame. How sad. If the Huskies cannot get themselves together it is not a life changing problem for me. I will not need prozac. My goodness, it's shocking. Total despair over a college basketball team. Not good mental health.
When people's happiness is based upon a sporting event or season, they need to re-evaluate their priorities, and they are missing the best thing about being a fan of sports. Regardless of what happens, I will take pleasure in the Huskies successes and shrug my shoulders when they lose. Either they will help make me happy or I will find happiness somewhere else. Any other attitude seems self-destructive to me.
Oh, well.... [shrug]

The Barnwell County Career Center anticipates a better financial outlook next year.
The school board approved the first reading of the 2018-2019 school year budget during the March 19 board meeting, although numbers are expected to change over the coming months as they receive funding levels from the state, said BCCC Director Sam McKay.
The budget currently includes revenues of $1,637,860 and expenditures of $1,663,470. This means there would be a shortfall of $25,610; however, that is “a lot less than it’s been in the past,” said McKay.
In the current year’s budget, the career center had a $100,000 grant from the state to pay for a new chiller and $70,000 in additional funds from the county’s three public school districts. However, the career center is not currently anticipating asking for those additional funds this year, said McKay.
The new chiller that was installed has helped the school use less energy, which has equaled savings on its monthly electric bill, McKay said.
The second and third readings of the budget will be held at the April and May meetings.
In other news:
The board approved the SkillsUSA field trip to Greenville on March 22-23. This annual competition includes students from various programs.
The school’s heater had to be repaired in February at a cost of $2,330.
Ten Barnwell Elementary students visited the auto tech program on March 8.
OSHA training was provided to 29 students in two training sessions recently.
While new teachers have been assigned a mentor teacher in the past, the state now requires those mentors complete a two-day course provided by the State Department of Education. Electricity instructor Ron Still recently completed that training. Business Education instructor Natasha Broxton is already trained, so the school now has two teachers who are certified mentor teachers.

The color of your eyes is often a genetic trait, inherited from your family but not always. The amount of melanin in your eyes and the amount of light that is let in by your iris also contributes to your eye color.
As the expression goes “the eyes are the window to the soul,” is there any truth to that?
Is there a connection between your eye color and your personality?
There have been a few different scientific studies to see if there is any link between personality traits and eye color.
Some studies discovered that there is a strong connection between the irises in the eye and the frontal lobes of the brain. They both developed from the same genes. The study also found that people with the same color irises shared some character traits.
Dr. Anthony Fallone said that the eyes are so closely linked to the brain that the eyes could even be considered an external part of the brain itself. The eyes give a lot of different signals to how the brain is working.
What does your eye color say about you?
Dark brown/black eyes is a very rare eye color. It means you have a mysterious nature and you’re a natural leader, or you are perceived in that way.
Also if you have dark brown/black eyes you’re very responsible and you take the trust that people give you very seriously. You’re loyal, practical and hard working.
The most common of all the eye colors, over 50 percent of the population have brown eyes.
If you have brown eyes you’re confident with people, extroverted in nature, like to meet new people and develop new relationships. You live in the moment and you are practical with a love for nature.
Hazel is a very rare color in the iris, which could mean you’re a very unique character. They are made up of green and brown eyes, the shades can vary greatly from person to person.
You have an unpredictable personality, changing from an introverted to extroverted personality. Also spontaneous, adaptable, fun loving, likes new experiences and becomes bored quickly.
Blue eyes probably means you have good, mental, emotional and physical strength. Intelligent, straight talking and you like things to be nice and calm and controlled.
You may not always be taken seriously or considered to be a good leader, you have to work for respect.
You probably have a more introverted personality, cautious and you can sometimes come across as cold and uncaring as your emotions often take a back seat.
Grey eyes are just a dimmer version of blue and you don’t often see someone with them.
You’re open minded and flexible, able to adapt well to different people, situations and ways of thinking. Like blue you find it difficult to get taken seriously which can lead you to becoming defensive. It takes a lot to get you angry or aggravated due to your neutral temperament .
Green eyes are seen as mysterious and even sexy. Similar to dark eyes you can come across as dominate and a natural leader. However you’re more reserved and introverted in personality, similar to those with blue eyes.
Usually curious and intelligent however you have difficultly controlling your emotions.

Can you transfer pictures from computer to card reader?
Yes you can. The card reader is viewed by the computer as a removable drive.
4 people found this useful
Answer . Yes, if your computer has a memory card reader that your particular memory card will fit into and work with. The card reader will allow your computer to read and …write to the memory card as though it were any other disk drive, and you can even use the same Windows Explorer to do so.
Windows . One needs to plug the flash card into the computer in some way. If it is USB, simply plug it into the USB port in the back or front of your tower. If it is an SD c…ard, you'll need a "Card Reader" in order to put it in.\n. \nMost USB flash drives are "Plug & Play" in that they should install within 10 minutes of being plugged in to the PC.\n. \nAfter, head on over to "My Computer" and you should see a "Removable Disk Drive" or "Removable Drive" or similair, open the drive as you would a folder (double click it) and drag and drop files.\n. \n Mac \nA USB icon will appear on your desktop after the flash drive is plugged in. It looks similair to a Hard Disk icon but is white. Open it, and drag and drop files onto it.
Use a card reader, as cheap of $5. Insert your SD card in the reader slot. Connect the reader to computer. Computer understands there is an external SD connected to it. So res…t is as easy as drag and drop folders
How can you transfer photos from your computer to a compact flash card if you do have a card reader?
With the proper cable, connect the camera, with the CF cardinstalled, to the computer where the photos are located. Then, openup the CF card drive on the computer and create a… new folder on theCF card, which will be used to store the photos that are about tobe transferred. Copy and paste the photos from the computer intothe new folder.
Use the click and drag method. Open My Computer - expand the drives so you see the card reader. Expand My Documents until you see the picture file(s) you want. Left click on t…he picture file, hold down the button and drag to the card reader, let go of the button.
At least, we should have a card reader that support your memory card type. Attach the card reader to the PC through USB connection and you will see your memory card on "My Com…puter" windows. Consider it as one of your hard disk drives and you can use it easily.
Yes.. a) USB card reader can be used for the purpose. The card will appear as separate drive in Windows Explorer. You can copy and paste as one usually do. However the writin…g speed may be too slow depending on the type, formatting of card and speed of USB connection.
Copy from computer folder, past into memory card folder.
some do... some dont, if it had it it would be a thing on the front pannel with a bunch of slots in it.
Go onto your 'My Computer' then copy your file, after that click on your memory card and paste the document.
you cAN buy a sd card reader adapter, it plugs right into your usb port,
Card reader itself does not contain any memory, so the answer is NO. If you mean the card reader with memory card inside, then the answer is YES.
You can, you just need a card reader. It's a small device with a slot for the card, and a USB plug to go into the computer.
you can see card reader slot in side or front of your laptop i.e in other part rather than lid, there you can insert your card in given size.
No you cannot. You will need an SD card for it. The only way to get the pictures you want from your DSI to your computer is to upload the picture to FaceBook and download the …picture from your computer and there you will have it. But besides that there is no possible way.
If the computer has an SD card slot - simply plug a card in and 'drag & drop' the files you want. If it doesn't have an SD slot, use a USB adaptor.
It's very simple. Just use the card reader & that's it.

Just another Manic Monday...wish it was Sunday...
This is what new baby kitty thinks of Mondays. Me too, Loki, me too.
But since I can't sit around sewing today and instead must get up and go to work, I'll just think fondly about all the crafty things I was able to accomplish this weekend instead. Seriously, I cleaned my house, did the laundry, AND got to sew. BAM. I mean, so I had a Fluffernutter sandwich for dinner one night, but that's just between you and me.
I made some pompoms Saturday night while watching Band of Brothers [a favorite in my household]. I have teal, white, mustard, gray, and navy. They all have to be trimmed, but it's a pretty mindless task for a good movie. I'm making a garland for my cubicle at work because its the very first cubicle every single employee sees when they walk through the door...I think that makes it my job to bring a smile to their face!
I printed, trimmed, and taped together my Colette Hawthorn pattern. Does anyone else think that Hawthorn should have an "e" on the end of it?
And then I promptly cut out a size 6 -- the verdict is still out on whether this pattern runs enormous, like the Laurel. I'm making Version 1, a top, in a very lightweight white Swiss dot, perfect for summer!
I worked all week on taking this haphazard stack o' 30+ fabrics...
...and cutting it down to this. I hate cutting. Seriously. I wish it would curl up and die and that I had magical fairy properties that would allow me to just think of the shape that I wanted my fabric to be and then voila it would be that shape. Until then, I'll continue giving myself carpel tunnel.
But hey! I sewed 2 blocks. Only 19 left! And I love it!
I'm going to chain piece the rest, but I wanted to double check the process of sewing it all together first. I hope to have the remaining 19 blocks done by the end of the week...if I do some chain piecing every night it shouldn't be too bad :)
Happy Monday everyone!

It’s Garage Sale Season…
…so we threw the annual Garage Sale Millionaire garage sale! It was a super success! We purged our life of excess, made some friends and got some extra cash! How did we have so much success, you ask?
Huge signs, at convenient locations!
We drove a 3 mile radius planting our huge signs at major lights and stop signs. We asked some of the people who came, which signs they saw, and what made them show up. That way, we know how to make it better next year.
Use Social Media
to get the word out Twitter, Facebook, Craigslist helped get more people to the event.
Sell a Variety of Items
from furniture to collectibles, from baby clothes to electronics! This allows those driveby-ers to see that we had a variety of items so it was worth stopping.
As the garage sale was winding down, we began condensing and pairing things up to sell them. If you show the person how much they are getting at a good price they are more likely to bite!
Thanks for Reading!

The popular Valletta Waterfront must rank as one of the best regeneration projects undertaken in Malta in recent years. The project started in 2002 and was completed by 2007, transforming the abandoned baroque wharf in a highly imaginative way to become one of Europe’s most attractive cruise liner terminals, going on to win a European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage.
The waterfront was originally the Pinto Wharf, constructed in 1752 by Grandmaster Manuel Pinto de Fonseca. It consisted of nineteen stores and a small church. The complex suffered great damage during the Second World War since the Grand Harbour area was bombed relentlessly by the Axis powers.
The project saw the renovation of the complex and the displacement of the road, which previously passed in front of the buildings, now relocated at the back of the complex. Where stores had been completely destroyed only the façade was rebuilt – others which had suffered less damage were restored in their entirety.
The freed up space at the front became one of the most attractive outdoor locations in the city, a large open piazza featuring a number of shops, cafes and restaurants housed in the original store buildings. Sleek cruise liners, the modern but attractive maritime holiday behemoths, have replaced the goods-carrying vessels of Pinto’s days – adding yet more colour and vim to the place.
A curiosity of the complex is the multi-coloured doors and windows of the wharf buildings. What might at first glance be seen as a whimsical addition by the project’s planners is in fact a throwback to a historical accuracy. In the time of the Knights the buildings’ apertures were painted with colours signifying the different types of goods that were once stored in them. Blue signified storage of fish, green for produce, yellow for wheat and red for wine.
The waterfront also contains the small church dedicated to the Holy Family’s Flight into Egypt. Like the rest of the complex it dates to 1752 and was also bombed in World War II, but has since been meticulously restored. Mass is celebrated here every Saturday evening.
The waterfront is at its most lively when one or more cruise liners are in town and there’s a visible flurry of activity, making it a perfect people watching place. Summer evenings on the other hand is the time to be seen there, with diners making for the best outdoor tables offered by the varied eating places.
Valletta Waterfront is a fifteen minute walk from the city’s entrance. The half hourly Valletta circular bus (No. 130) from Castille Place serves the venue. The Barracca Gardens elevator is also a convenient means of getting there.

Dear fellow members,
From the outset let me say that it is with regret that we had to cancel our December Manager’s Night meeting. There were too many conflicts that could not be resolved.
Likewise, an Honors and Awards Banquet in January is unlikely due to Mardi Gras activities at venues that we prefer for that event. We will keep you posted on this event.
Check out the article on the 2017 Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair. The organizers are soliciting professionals in the New Orleans area to be judges for contestants in this 6th –12th grade competition. Moreover, your participation would enable students to talk to and mingle with professionals engaged in science, technical, engineering, and mathematics pursuits.
I do look forward to seeing you at our next meeting. Look for upcoming events in this newsletter.
José Suarez, President
ISA New Orleans Section, Inc.

Engage BDR – Self-serve RTB
Up until now their minimum deposit just to test a campaign was $25,000 USD. Which for most affiliates is completely out of reach but now they have released a new real time bidding platform which is run on a self-serve basis. This means you have total control over your campaigns and the minimum deposit is just $500 USD. Think SiteScout on steroids.
This is a snippet from their site:
First Impression is the first of its kind RTB self serve display platform that focuses on the direct response advertiser.
We have built a platform that enables advertisers to target online and mobile inventory like never before. Advertisers can now test campaigns on our exchange traffic, scale on our premium inventory and expand their campaigns into mobile. In development, we focused on the methodology of a performance advertiser, and created a platform that empowers them to easily measure success and grow campaigns quickly and efficiently.
By leveraging real time buying, it gives a media buyer the full control to maximize the value of an impression and increase ROI.
They are really putting this out there for affiliates to get on board and start running traffic. Focusing primarily on web display and mobile display traffic they are in a great position to become the next big thing in affiliate marketing. The optimisation options are impressive with geo-targeting, demographic targeting and site level targeting. But most impressive of all is the massive volume these guys have access to, if you can get something working with Engage BDR you really are playing in the big leagues.

This post may contain affiliate links please read our disclosure for more info.
For a number of years, it has been clear to many that social media platforms Facebook and Twitter, to name just two, have been collecting data related to its users. Their business models are predicated upon this, they sell this data to advertisers who then target you based on your preferences and activity. As users, we are the product as eloquently explained by Zeynep Tufekci in this video.
Conventional Social Media and Privacy
The cost of participation on Facebook is that you hand over access and control of your personal data to Mark Zuckerberg and his senior management team. When he was asked to share his own personal data recently Zuckerberg appeared quite protective of it here.
They are not alone, the amount of data that Google has on consumers is also staggering; consider the logged in searches you have made together with physical journeys when using Google Maps, for example. Amazon and Apple must also be considered in this context. The companies named here are merely representative, this is not an exhaustive list.
Understandably, forward thinking users of Social Media platforms have been looking for alternatives where they can maintain greater levels of privacy and control of their own data. In this context, the appeal and attraction of Social Media platforms powered by blockchain technology is very strong.
What is Blockchain Technology?
It was Satoshi Nakamoto who created the first blockchain database and the first bitcoin software on 9th January 2009. Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger system that allows for the transfer of value from point A to point B without an intermediary. Using the financial sector as an example, usually a bank or a company such as PayPal acts as the intermediary. With blockchain technology they are not part of the process, instead the blockchain itself acts as a shared database that securely and efficiently creates a log of digital transaction activity.
A lot of the early use cases for blockchain technology related to financial products, more specifically cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was and remains the most significant of these cryptocurrencies, but blockchain technology is more than the platform on which cryptocurrencies are created.
It’s also a great technology for Social Media platforms because it is decentralised and transparent; data is secure and encrypted. Decentralised Social Media platforms have less censorship than traditional Social Media platforms. Blockchain technology offers users greater control over their transactions and data. Perhaps because of these benefits, there are already many Social Media platforms powered by Blockchain, as my list below demonstrates.
Launched on July 4th 2016 Steemit.com is the most well established of all Social Media platforms based on blockchain technology. Steemit is powered by the Steem blockchain. Central to the ethos of Steemit is idea that content creators are rewarded for the content they create, as opposed on any profits going to the owners of the platform. Rewards are paid in cryptocurrencies, specifically Steem and Steem Backed Dollars (SBD).
The voting power of those who upvote your content determines how much any particular post will earn. In March 2018 Steemit had a total user base of 920,800 and the number of monthly active users was between 50-60,000. Steemit has a current Alexa rating of 1297, this means that it is the 1297th most popular website in the world. The site’s domain authority rating is 71.5, which is very good. People are really using the platform and it has some quality backlinks.
The concept of rewarding content creators for their uploads is a good one, unfortunately the execution of this is still problematic because there is a heavy concentration of Steem Power in the hands of just a few people. Most users do not really have very much influence at all. For more of a detailed look at Steemit please read, Conventional Social Media vs Steemit.
Dock. io positions itself as a convenient Ethereum blockchain based data exchange for all your profile data and professional networks. Instead of creating multiple profiles, access and login points, with all the security compromises that can create, why not store all of your data in a decentralised location that allows you to maintain control? It should simplify job searching help freelancers looking for new projects. Following a successful Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that raised $20 million Dock.io is now aggressively targeting user acquisition and has 200,000 users, as of March 2018. It is possible to earn cryptocurrency rewards for inviting new users to the platform.
It is still very much in its early stages. From my own personal experience, I found the integration of data from LinkedIn onto Dock.io to be a complicated process. Also, user discoverability needs to be improved; when I searched for users who had told me they were on the platform I could not find them to connect. I am sure that they issues will be addressed and other features will be added. You can read the dock.io white paper here.
Ong.social describes itself as a decentralised social network and is powered by both the Ethereum and Waves blockchains. Ong users can use it as a social dashboard to post on decentralised and centralised platforms. Like Steemit, it is possible to earn cryptocurrency rewards for posting content. As a content marketer I have made a quick assessment of the website, it is has a low domain authority rating according to Moz and the last piece of content published was in August 2017.
4. Sapien Network
Sapien.network is a Social News platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Like Steemit, users will receive cryptocurrency rewards for posting content on the platform; on the Sapien Network the rewards are in SPN. The platform raised over $20 million in its ICO. Users of the platform will be able to post, add friends and create groups as you would expect on a social network. A quick analysis of the website leads me to believe that it is yet to gain any real traction, but that could change in the coming months. You can read the Sapien white paper here.
To understand APPICs I need to take you back to Steemit. Ned Scott, one of the founders of Steemit subsequently created Smart Media Tokens which are, ” A Token Protocol for Content Websites, Applications, Online Communities and Guilds Seeking Funding, Monetization and User Growth”. The full white paper for Smart Media Tokens can be read here. APPICs is one of the first Applications to take advantage of the SMT protocol and will launch in Q3 of 2018 on the Steem blockchain. It is described as a ‘Next Generation Social Network.’
Fortunately for me, I was able to speak face to face with APPICs founder Uma Hagenguth at the recent Blockchain Expo Global in London. Uma is an active user on Steemit and is aware of some its shortcomings.
When APPICs launches it will create a platform where content creators who post in categories will be able to create good visibility for their posts irrespective of the influence of other users who upvote it. They will also be able to earn cryptocurrency rewards in the form of APPICs tokens (XAP). APPICs is currently building a network of high profile influencers / endorsers from the music and fashion industries and it will be interesting to see how this translates into user acquisition numbers when the APP launches. At the time of writing, APPICs has just been through an ICO and raised over $4 million. You can read the APPICs whitepaper here.
Sola.ai is a decentralised social network within an App that pays you for the content that you create. The name Sola is an acronym for “social layer.” Payment is is in the form of SOL tokens based on the ERC20 standard. Unlike others decentralised social networks on this list, Sola incorporates native advertising into its business model. Users can purchase add free accounts. According to its website, Sola has over 920,000 users, a lot of these users originate from Plague which was a forerunner to Sola.ai.
Content distribution is controlled by an algorithm based on user actions, this is similar to StumbleUpon and contrasts with traditional social networks where content distribution is dependent upon connections. Each day users receive Action Points. Users view one card at a time, each card can either be ignored or endorsed, then the user can move onto the next card. When users endorse a card they ‘spend’ their Action Points to do so. You can read the Sola white paper here.
7. Props Project
The PROPS project is a decentralised Eco system of video applications on the Ethereum Blockchain. Rize is the name of the first PROPS app. Similar to other platforms mentioned above, the central idea is to pay content creators for the work that they create; creators earn cryptocurrency rewards in the form of PROPSs which is an ERC-20 token. PROPS is recruiting partners whose activity within the app creates the rewards pool. For example, one partner may create an ad supported platform and the revenue generated goes into the rewards pool for users. You can read the PROPS white paper here.
8. WildSpark.me by Synereo
Wildspark.me describes itself as an Attention Economy. Similar to many of the platforms above, creators are rewarded for their content uploaded to the platform. Rewards are attributed by other users in the form of AMPs, AMPS are the cryptocurrency that drives the WildSpark economy. Rewards can also be earned by curating content. Initially Wildspark was based on the bitcoin blockchain but at the time of writing it was transferring to the Ethereum blockchain. This must present quite a lot of technical challenges. You can read the Wildspark white paper here.
9 . Indorse
Indorse can be thought of as a decentralised version of LinkedIn, based on the Ethereum blockchain. Users post achievements that are then validated by others within their network. Once confirmed, these achievements earn users rewards in the form of IND tokens. These tokens can be traded or used to purchase services like advertising or Company pages. Potential success on Indorse is linked to your level of activity. You can read the Indorse white paper here.
Decent.ch is an open source content distribution platform based on DCore; DCore is an independent blockchain. Users can post on the platform and set the price consumers need to pay to access it. The consumers of the content (other users) decide if it is good content. Rewards are in the form of DCT tokens, which is the designated cryptocurrency for Decent ecosystem. DCT can be traded on Exchanges.
11. Obsidian Secure Messenger
Obsidian Secure Messenger (OSM ) can be thought of as a more secure version of Whatsapp, based on the Stratis blockchain. To be precise, it is a Stratis fork. Users of the messenger system can send anonymous messages that are encrypted end to end. No private messages are permanently stored on the blockchain. As it is currently envisaged, the OSM is not a social network. I have included it on this list because additional features and a community may be built with the Messenger app at the core. On the Obsidian Platform website it is written,
‘The intended goal for the platform is to host a wide array of applications aimed at individual users – the masses, so to say. The Obsidian Secure Messenger is an insane proof-of-concept which shows the viability of such a project.’
ODN is the coin that drives the Obsidian Platform, users can pay other users via OSM using ODN. You can read more about OSM here.
12. Social X
Social X describes itself as a community-driven decentralised Social Media platform based on the Ethereum blockchain. Similar to many of the platforms listed above, users can earn rewards for posting photos and videos. Users upvote content they like with ‘Superlikes’, these rewards are paid in the form of SOCX tokens. Alternatively, they can also choose to keep their uploads private if they want. Social X also incorporate a license management market, encrypted messenger and live stream functionality. You can read the Social X white paper here.
13. Project V
I cannot really write very much about ‘Project V’ yet. It is at the Pre-ICO stage. Their website is not public and neither is their whitepaper. Fortunately for me, I was able to have a long conversation with the CEO at the recent Blockchain Expo Global in London. Here’s what I can confirm. It will be a Social Media platform powered by blockchain technology but it will not be restricted to one blockchain. This new platform has a robust user acquisition strategy and a network of multinational partners that will enable it scale quickly. When I am able to publish an update, I will update this paragraph, so be sure to bookmark this blog post.
Before I go any further, thank you for reading this far! I am well aware that this is a much longer post than usual.
The desire for greater privacy and control of personal data are common themes across most of the new wave of Social Media platforms powered by Blockchain. As is the need to reward content creators for their content . It remains to be seen which of the platforms go onto to create real traction and appeal to the masses. Clearly, Social Media powered by Blockchain technology is already a crowded space.
In Europe, there is also a major challenge ahead. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into effect on 25th May 2018 is at odds with the reality that what’s on the blockchain stays on the blockchain, usually as a permanent record. Those platforms that can demonstrate GDPR compliance and have a robust user acquisition strategy will more than likely prove to be the winners.
