In recent years, Todos Santos—an artsy town of about 6,500 residents in Mexico’s Baja California Sur peninsula—has sailed onto the radars of style-conscious travelers seeking a respite from crowds and resort towns. The destination attracts surfers as well as artists, and it's also a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve.
But the missing piece to this destination was a full-service luxury hotel. (Most visitors rent an Airbnb or choose from properties like Liz Lambert’s hip-and-casual 32-room Hotel San Cristobal.)
Opening on Jan. 15, 2021, Paradero Todos Santos only has 35 suites, but it comprises five acres of land set along the beach. This means there’s lots of room to wander and roam—whether it’s a hands-on farming tutorial in the property’s 100,000-square-foot botanical garden, gazing up at the stars at night, or taking a self-guided run or bicycle ride along the trails onsite. In fact, 80 percent of the property is landscaped and undeveloped.
Thanks to the designers—(Yektajo Valdez Architects in Mexico City), Polen (behind the landscapes at Twitter’s and Google’s offices), and B Huber (interior designers who also worked on Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo and Edition Riviera Maya, both opening in 2021)—there are lots of interesting design elements throughout the property. Garden Suites boast private above-ground circular soaking tubs on the patios, every suite is stocked with furniture made by artisans in Oaxaca and Guadalajara, each room has views of the terrain, and the property embodies a trapezoid shape to more easily blend into the landscape. Guests will also have an outdoor infinity-edge pool to relax and soak in the views.
Thirty percent of what flourishes on property was born from seed in an on-site greenhouse with the rest bought at local greenhouses in a commitment to native gardening. Treatments and services at the hotel's Ojo de Agua Spa are inspired by Mexican traditions such as a sound healing and Temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremonies. And yoga classes hosted on the deck offer an amazing view.
Paradero Todos Santos is also an ideal destination for foodies; inventive cocktails feature elixirs created from local shrubs, and the menu’s items are baked in either an Oaxacan clay tortilla oven or a high-end Josper wood-fired oven. If you fall in love with a certain ingredient, the pantry just might sell it: here you can pick up to-go foods as well as culinary souvenirs (like house-made tortillas, mole pastes, and Melipona honey) to take home. A dozen chile pepper varieties alone are grown in the on-site garden.
Rates start at $550 per night and include additional activities guests can book during their stay, such as a Baja-taco tour to taste the area’s best taco stands, a “farm for a day” tour of local farms, a fishing or boating trip, or cliffside burrito and Champagne tasting.

A group of atheists and secularists recently gathered in Southern California to talk about social and political issues. This was the first of three summits planned by the Secular Coalition for America, an advocacy group based in Washington D.C.
To many, atheism the lack of belief in a personal god or gods - may appear an entirely modern concept. After all, it would seem that it is religious traditions that have dominated the world since the beginning of recorded history.
As a scholar of Asian religions, however, Im often struck by the prevalence of atheism and agnosticism - the view that it is impossible to know whether a god exists - in ancient Asian texts. Atheistic traditions have played a significant part in Asian cultures for millennia.
Atheism in Buddhism, Jainism
While Buddhism is a tradition focused on spiritual liberation, it is not a theistic religion.
The Buddha himself rejected the idea of a creator god, and Buddhist philosophers have even argued that belief in an eternal god is nothing but a distraction for humans seeking enlightenment.
While Buddhism does not argue that gods dont exist, gods are seen as completely irrelevant to those who strive for enlightenment.
A similar form of functional atheism can also be found in the ancient Asian religion of Jainism, a tradition that emphasizes non-violence toward all living beings, non-attachment to worldly possessions and ascetic practice. While Jains believe in an eternal soul or jiva, that can be reborn, they do not believe in a divine creator.
According to Jainism, the universe is eternal, and while gods may exist, they too must be reborn, just like humans are. The gods play no role in spiritual liberation and enlightenment; humans must find their own path to enlightenment with the help of wise human teachers.
Other atheistic philosophies
Around the same time when Buddhism and Jainism arose in the sixth century B.C., there was also an explicitly atheist school of thought in India called the Carvaka school. Although none of their original texts have survived, Buddhist and Hindu authors describe the Carvakas as firm atheists who believed that nothing existed beyond the material world.
To the Carvakas, there was no life after death, no soul apart from the body, no gods and no world other than this one.
Another school of thought, Ajivika, which flourished around the same time, similarly argued that gods didnt exist, although its followers did believe in a soul and in rebirth.
The Ajivikas claimed that the fate of the soul was determined by fate alone, and not by a god, or even by free will. The Ajivikas taught that everything was made up of atoms, but that these atoms were moving and combining with each other in predestined ways.
Like the Carvaka school, the Ajivika school is today only known from texts composed by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. It is therefore difficult to determine exactly what the Ajivikas themselves thought.
According to Buddhist texts, the Ajivikas argued that there was no distinction between good and evil and there was no such thing as sin. The school may have existed around the same time as early Buddhism, in the fifth century B.C.
Atheism in Hinduism
While the Hindu tradition of India embraces the belief in many gods and goddesses 330 million of them, according to some sources there are also atheistic strands of thought found within Hinduism.
The Samkhya school of Hindu philosophy is one such example. It believes that humans can achieve liberation for themselves by freeing their own spirit from the realm of matter.
Another example is the Mimamsa school. This school also rejects the idea of a creator God. The Mimamsa philosopher Kumarila said that if a god had created the world by himself in the beginning, how could anyone else possibly confirm it? Kumarila further argued that if a merciful god had created the world, it could not have been as full of suffering as it is.
According to the 2011 census, there were approximately 2.9 million atheists in India. Atheism is still a significant cultural force in India, as well as in other Asian countries influenced by Indian religions.

Since the fall of 2012, the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) from the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) has been partnering with Achieving the Dream (AtD) in a national inventory of ALP initiatives around the country. This inventory is part of a two-year study, supported by a generous grant from the Kresge Foundation and conducted by the Center for Applied Research (CFAR).
As the study comes to an end, we are hoping to update and expand the ALP national inventory. We thank those of you who provided information about your programs through the survey sent out by AtD last year and hope you will update your information through the current survey. We hope those of you who did not complete the survey last year will take a moment to help us expand the inventory so we are including as many ALPs as possible.
Your survey responses will give us a better understanding of how ALPs serve students in different types of institutions and will help us identify the common elements of implementation. If you completed the inventory survey last year, please still take a moment to add any new information by entering the name of your college and only completing the questions that need to be updated. If you have never completed the inventory survey, please complete all of the questions. We ask that all surveys be submitted by October 10. If you have any questions about this survey or about the ALP Inventory Project, please do not hesitate to contact Dawn Coleman at email@example.com. The direct link to the survey is: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1669544/ALP-Inventory
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important endeavor.

Have you ever wondered how rich Hannah Lee Fowler is, as of early 2018? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Fowler’s net worth is over $300,000, an amount earned through her successful career.
Hannah Lee Fowler Net Worth $300,000
One of seven children born to Linda and Scott Fowler, a pastor of the Spring Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Unfortunately, there isn’t much information about her upbringing and education. The only fact that is known is that she matriculated from the Evangel Christian School in 2006.
Hannah has been working as a nurse, saving people lives and taking care of others. She met her future husband in 2006, and since then has had an on-and-off relationship, but since 2016 have been in a stable relationship which they crowned with a wedding ceremony on the 15th April 2017.
She has been a big supporter of her husband’s career and has served him as an inspiration for his music. Several songs have been written for and about Hannah, including the “Drinkin’ Too Much” song.
Unfortunately, there is no more information about Hannah and her career, as she tends to keep every little (private) detail about herself hidden from the media.

GEORGETOWN – A family of six is now contemplating the next move after their Princes Street, Georgetown home went up in flames last evening. Fortunately no one was injured in the blaze.
The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) is currently investigating and examining what may have led to the blaze that occurred around 7:35 p.m.
According to the Divisional Officer in Charge of Operations Colin Sparman the building which is located at 32 Princes Street, Werk-en-Rust, was already destroyed by the time the fire tenders arrived.
He added that the objectives were to simultaneously extinguish and prevent the fire from spreading to other wooden buildings located in close proximity.
He recalled a fire in the same area some time in the 1980’s that ravaged more than 13 buildings.
Sparman said that the area is known for its unique “circle breeze” and drawing from GFS’s experience on the more than two-decade-old tragedy, exercises were immediately undertaken to prevent a worst-case scenario.
Though he admitted that some houses were scorched, they are still safe to be reoccupied. He lauded the efforts of the fire-fighters for pulling out all the stops to prevent the fire from catching on to nearby structures.
According to one of the occupants, 55-year-old Disc Jockey (DJ), Clifton Moseley, the single-flat house was divided into two apartments. He and his wife occupied the section to the south; while his wife’s grandchildren, lived in the northern apartment.
Moseley, who was sitting on his motorcycle beyond the police barricade, said that he was relieved that no one was hurt in the blaze.
Asked where he and his family will be staying for the night, Moseley responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
“I don’t know, I glad if the Government can help me out,” he said and displayed a black plastic bag with some garments.

A week ago, Maryland redshirt senior outside linebacker Jesse Aniebonam was all smiles after he got his first sack since returning from the broken ankle that sidelined him for most of last season. It helped that the Terps won at Bowling Green with a dominant second half.
Aniebonam’s mood was much different Saturday afternoon, sitting next to interim coach and offensive coordinator Matt Canada and teammate Darnell Savage Jr. after Maryland’s 35-14 loss to Temple in the home opener.
This time, Aniebonam mostly glared. Even when he was asked about blocking a punt and returning it for a touchdown in the second half Saturday, Aniebonam couldn’t change his mood or think much about his first career touchdown.
“It’s a good feeling, obviously,” Aniebonam said. “But at the end of the day, it doesn’t add up to a win. That’s all I’m really worried about. I’m worried about next week [against Minnesota]. I can make all the plays I want, but if we’re not good enough collectively, then it’s not going to matter at the end of the day. It’s a team game, team effort.”
McNair, McNamara honored
Maryland honored offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who died in June after suffering heatstroke, with a moment of silence before the game, during which several players encircled the No. 79 emblem in the West end zone, kneeling and bowing their heads in prayer.
The school also had a moment of silence in the press box for 1983 Maryland graduate John McNamara, a longtime Terps beat writer who was one of five people killed at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis in June.
McFarland’s first 100-yard game
Redshirt freshman running back Anthony McFarland, who sat out last season while recovering from the broken leg he suffered before his senior year at DeMatha, had one of the only positive offensive performances for the Terps.
McFarland, who started the season third on the depth chart, moved up to be senior Ty Johnson’s main backup Saturday after junior Lorenzo Harrison III sat out with an undisclosed injury. With Johnson struggling for the second time in three weeks, McFarland got his chance.
A player once rated the No. 3 high school all-purpose running back in the country as a junior, McFarland finished with 107 yards on 11 carries. That followed a strong performance in last week’s win at Bowling Green, when McFarland rushed eight times for 69 yards and caught two passes for 53 yards, including a 46-yarder.
“Everything we see all the time in practice,” Canada said. “We have really good running backs and he’s got a great spark to him. I know he was disappointed because he wanted to win and he had a couple of runs that almost popped.”

Wang Pi(redirected from Wang Bi)
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Born 226; died 249. Chinese philosopher. Representative of Hsüan-hsiuo (neo-Taoism).
In attempting to provide a synthesis of Confucianism and Taoism, Wang Pi utilized the concepts of Confucian moral philosophy in his commentaries on the treatise Lao-tsu, whereas in his commentaries on the I Ching he employed Taoist terms. The interpretation of the I Ching given by Wang Pi is that the world of dynamic being, which expresses itself in the completeness of constant change, should return to its foundation, the Tao, in order to attain a primal unity. “Nonbeing,” one of the basic concepts of Taoism, acquires in Wang Pi’s system the significance of absolute being, which, deprived as it is of any particular attributes, represents the source of everything that exists.

This review is all about the Nspire Network. Do you want to know if it is a legit MLM company or just a scam? Are you curios if you can really earn from it? Well, I suggest that you read this review in order to clear your doubts about it.
Company Name: Nspire Network
Price to Join: $35 Membership Fee
My Rating: 7.1 out of 10.0
What is the Nspire Network?
Nspire Network is a multi-level marketing company that sells health supplements and feminine products. Basically, they offer different types of sanitary napkins. They also sell health supplements that boost memory and sexual energy.
It is hard to believe that there is only one female in the executive team when many of the products are geared towards females. This is a new company so the limited number of products is not surprising but they may introduce new ones as they grow. Nspire Network was founded in the year 2016.
In this review, I will take a closer look at this company and try to determine whether this is a scam or not. This is based on my honest research about it. I recommend that you read the entire review before thinking about joining this company.
How Does Nspire Network Work?
Before you can make money as an Independent Distributor, you will have to qualify. Qualifying allows you to earn certain bonuses, but there are some that you can earn without qualifying as well.
The important term that you need to remember to understand the compensation plan is commissionable volume. Each product has a retail price and a commissionable volume. Basically, as an Independent Distributor, you will be paid according to the commissionable volume instead of the retail price.
Let us take a look at the ways of making money through the compensation plan.
You will earn up to 40% of the retail commissionable volume when a purchase is made from your website.
The website will be provided by the company when you join and you can use it to sell the products. The company also adds an additional 10% of the retail sales volume in the computation of binary bonus. You are not required to be qualified to earn this bonus.
FIRST ORDER BONUS
As the name suggests, you will earn from the first order of someone that you personally recruit. This bonus doesn’t require you to be qualified. It allows you to earn 25% of the commissionable volume of the first package order of your personally enrolled distributor.
It is a little difficult to understand this bonus, but I will try to simply it for you.
You will build two teams as you begin recruiting people. Your rank and your qualification will determine the maximum amount of money that you can earn. This bonus is paid on the commissionable volume from your downline’s first order, repeat orders and 10% of the retail sales.
You will earn a higher amount of this bonus by advancing in the ranks.
You can also earn on the earnings of your personally enrolled distributors and their downline. The people that you recruit will be on your first level and the people that they recruit will be on your second level and so on.
You can earn up to three levels deep and this bonus is paid in the manner explained below.
Level 1- 15%
Level 2- 15%
Level 3- 10%
You can earn 10% matching bonus on your first level without qualifying.
There are other ways of earning money through the compensation plan like the unilevel bonus. The company allows you to earn from many bonuses even without qualifying and I appreciate that.
We can’t deny the fact that this is a new company and that is something that will hurt your chances of success. Overall, the compensation plan is a little better than most MLM companies, but it is far from perfect.
How Much Does It Cost to Join?
Nspire Network allows you to join by paying a small fee of $35 and you will have to pay this fee annually as long as you remain as a distributor.
There are distributor packages that you can buy to sell the products to customers. It is not necessary to buy the packages but it can be helpful. So the following are the distributor packages and their prices.
Builder: $99 or more
Achiever: $299 or more
Premium: $499 or more
Elite: $999 or more
How Much Can I Earn?
Nspire Network is new so an Income Disclosure Statement has not been published by the company yet. Even though I don’t know about the actual earnings of the members of this company, I think that you will most likely have a hard time in making a good income.
An overwhelmingly majority of people fail in MLM companies and I don’t think that this company is any different.
Since this is a new company, I think that it would be harder to make money especially for those who are not experienced. The products that they offer are not well established and it can take a while to establish its brand’s identity.
The nature of the products will also make it difficult to sell them as not everyone is comfortable with selling this kind of items. So your chances of making a full-time income through this company are very low.
Are there Any Complaints?
Yes, and I have listed some of the major concerns below.
This is a new company so it is more difficult to be successful.
The products of this company will make it harder to find customers.
In my opinion, Nspire Network is not a scam. Although they are still new in this type of business, they still offer some helpful ways of earning.
On the other hand, if you are not experienced or interested then you should think twice before investing in this MLM company. If you have the experience and if you find the products interesting, you may join this company. Nevertheless, I still leave the final decision in your hands. Good luck and choose wisely.
- Affordable Starter Fee
- Teaches entrepreneurial Skills
- Expensive Product Packages
- Climb the ranks to earn more
- Support can be improved
I know that you want to invest in Nspire Network because you are eager to have a new source of income. I also feel that you are enticed by the earning potential that you can get.
But let me tell you that this type of business is not for everyone. If you don’t have the passion with regards to the product that they offer, then you may find it difficult to succeed.
On the other hand, if you are still looking for an effective way of earning, then you can also look into my personal favorite. My best suggestion would be through making your own online business with a support from community. Basically it is a modern way of making money. And this will enable you to enjoy your working time at home.
Right now, I am on my second year in this community and I am already earning from it. So, I want to share my success with you.
If you have more questions and concerns about the Nspire Network, feel free to comment it below and I would be glad to interact with you.
Let me hear your experiences and personal concerns on the comments below!

A number of websites sell a "coaster" designed to distribute the weight and protect the floor. Do a google search using the terms
clawfoot tub coaster
and you will find them. Here is one site: http://www.signaturehardware.com/class218
If possible, you'll want to avoid having the legs span a grout joint. Also, please take extra care to ensure the subfloor under the tiles is flat and stable.
I haven't seen one of these coasters, but it would be best if there was a thin later of felt or other padding on the bottom of the coaster.
A cast iron tub can weigh 300 pounds. Add 50 gallons of water (400 pounds) and 250+ pounds for a person, and you have nearly 1,000 pounds of weight! If the subfloor is solid and you use coasters, you should be OK.

To start with I must confess that I have just come back from the pub where I had a drink with my dear friend I. Well, really, a large and a small glass of wine, and in England, that adds up to 1/2 bottle of wine!!! and yes, it has come up to my system... so what makes sense to me tonight as I write what follows might not make much sense tomorrow. But really, does it matter???
There's something I've wanted to talk about all day and I'd promised myself that I'd come home and turn on my computer, regardless of how tired I feel... And I do feel tired!
After the visit of the crop circle on Saturday, I walked through Avebury stone circles on Sunday morning. A small village in Wiltshire that has two stone circles, a small an a large one surrounding the small one. The grass was very green and thick after the "miserable and rainy" summer we've had and walking through this thriving life brought tears to my eyes. A few times while standing inside the circle I felt the call to kneel down and thank the Earth for this gift of having brought me to Her, pay my respect to her Spirit, feel how small I am yet as important as any other living being. I play my part, I am part of the circle of life and this circle would be different without me. I have my place in it. It brought an immense sense of worth into my lungs and my heart...
© Suzisunflowers Avebury Circle stone circle Wiltshire Whats on Wiltshire 2003-2007
One specific stone called me close and asked that I lean against her. A timeless energy of patience, knowledge, steadfastness, detachment spread from my back within my belly, my legs, my shoulders and arms... I knew that this stone knew it all, had seen it all, what has happened and what will happen... She was out of time and space and she filled me a little of this "whatever happens to you may be remembered but will not matter"... Interestingly I felt, " that's true, I'm only a human being for a short while then who knows what will become of my psyche, through time and space... whatever happens to me here may be remembered in other lives but will not matter..."
As the crowd grew steadily bigger, I walked away for a 3 hours walk around the village, entered West Kennet Long Barrow, an ancient tomb showing 5 or 6 underground chambers and dating back 5000 years (if I remember well...) and walked through the Sanctuary, a place right along the main road which was a place of celebration. These two archeological sites didn't bring much emotions at the time and I walked off.
Then I fell onto a stone, of which I was told later as I described it, that it was made of flint. It was rather flat and 10 to 15 cm long, maybe 3 or 4 cm thick at its thickest and 1/2 the bottom had been split off, leaving rather sharp edges. Bi-colour, grey-ish all around but shiny dark grey and white-ish where the split had occurred. The most interesting feature was that on the top of the stone stood proud two kind of horns, approximately 6 cm apart and maybe 2 cm high. I stopped instantly, felt all its angles in my palms and I wondered whether it had been carved that way a long time ago or whether it was natural... I liked to think that it had been carved as a tool in ancient times. I was already thinking where I would put it on my altar back at home when I suddenly was short of breath... in front of me stood a small mound of earth and a beautiful circle of oak trees in several rows.
The view was breathtaking. I was in front of perfection, I felt that the most beautiful gift had just been given to me and I began to weep in gratitude... I walked around this circle in complete awe, asked permission to enter. Once inside, the stone with horns then "told" me that her place wasn't in London. I was not to take it back, her place was here in this land of richness and wholeness. She needed to "tell" me this a few times before I accepted and made sure that was the right thing to do. After thanking her for her gift I laid her down at the root of one of the oak tree. I know that a part of me has stayed behind within this stone and is growing roots. I just know that when those roots will be deep enough, it'll be time for the branches to grow - a nice image for growth happening in the unconscious before coming out in the open when the foundations are strong to support life in the outside...
Of course I've been wondering many times since then whether it was the right decision, what will happen to "my" stone when it is discovered by someone else, and maybe exposed in a souvenir shop... I do not like the ideas but deep down I only know it was the right choice - there is however no way I can explain it. And so I won't...
The last thing I want to share tonight is that I walked for 4 hours and never did I feel tired. I'm certainly not rambler-fit these days and the only explanation for me is that the land supported me and fed me with energy all that time.
I will need to go back. After Dahab in Egypt I feel that I've found some kind of home in the Avebury Countryside!!

Judging by the applause that greeted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the end of his speech to Day One of the NPT Review Conference, the next month will be hard going for the United States and the other Nuclear Weapons States.
Iran is not isolated, at least not by this audience —that is by those who remained once the United States and most of the European Union had walked out in protest against his full-on attack on the Nuclear Weapons States. In fact many of President Ahmadinejad’s talking points showed up in the statement of the Non-Aligned Movement, delivered by the Indonesian Foreign Minister, Marty Natalegawa.
The NAM made it clear that the U.S. and Russian signatures on New START were not enough to demonstrate that the Nuclear Weapons States are carrying out their Treaty commitments on disarmament. Whether the Obama Administration’s release of the previously secret details of the U.S. nuclear arsenal (a total 5,113 warheads) will be sufficient to lift the skepticism of the NAM states remains to be seen.
So the cards are now on the table. The U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, directly addressed the issue of Iran’s non-compliance with the NPT, appearing before the Review Conference in the afternoon.
The West’s attempts to isolate Iran will clearly be a major issue at the conference. Linked to this is the proposal for a Middle East nuclear weapons free zone, which was supported by most speakers on Day One of the Review Conference, including Hillary Clinton and the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The challenge for the delegations will be to find a balanced solution on all three pillars of the NPT —disarmament, non-proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Anne Penketh is currently attending the NPT RevCon in New York.

We’re in a Golden Age for access to data, which unfortunately also means we’re in a Golden Age for the potential to misinterpret data. Though the absurdity of gated academic journals persists, academic research is more accessible now than ever before. We’ve also seen a rapid growth in the use of arguments based on statistics in the popular media in the last several years. This is potentially a real boon to our ability to understand the world around us, but it carries with it all of the potential for misleading statistical arguments.
My request is pretty simple. All statistical techniques, particularly the basic parametric statistical techniques that are most likely to show up in data journalism, require the satisfaction of assumptions and checking of diagnostic measures to ensure that hidden bias isn’t misleading us. Many of these assumptions and diagnostics are ultimately judgment calls, relying on practitioners to make informed decisions about what degree of wiggle room is appropriate given the research scenario. There are, however, conventions and implied standards that people can use to guide their decisions. The most important and useful kind of check, though, is the eyes of other researchers. Given that the ability to host graphs, tables, and similar kinds of data online is simple and nearly free, I think that researchers and data journalists alike should provide links to their data and to the graphs and tables they use to check assumptions and diagnostic measures. In the digital era, it’s crazy this is still a rare practice. I don’t expect to find these graphs and tables sitting square in the center of a blog post, and I expect that 90% of readers wouldn’t bother to look. But there’s nothing to risk in having them available, and transparency, accountability, and collaboration to gain.
That’s the simple part, and you can feel free to close tab. For a little more:
What kind of assumptions and diagnostics am I talking about? Let’s consider the case of one of the most common types of parametric methods, linear regression. Whether we have a single predictor for simple linear regression or multiple predictors for multilinear regression, fundamentally regression is a matter of assessing the relationship between quantitative (continuous) predictor variables and a quantitative (continuous) outcome variable. For example, we might ask how well SAT scores predict college GPA; we might ask how well age, weight, and height predict blood pressure. When someone talks about how one number predicts another, the strength of their relationship, and how we might attempt to change one by changing the other, they’re probably making an appeal to regression.
The types of regression analysis, and the issues therein, are vast, and there are many technical issues at play that I’ll never understand. But I think it’s worthwhile to talk about some of the assumptions we need to check and some problems we have to look out for. Regression has come in for a fair amount of abuse lately from sticklers and skeptics, and not for no reason; it’s easy to use the techniques irresponsibly. But we’re inevitably going to ask basic questions of how X and Y predict Z, so I think we should expand public literacy about these things. I want to talk a little bit about these issues not because I think I’m qualified to teach statistics to others, or because regression is the only statistical process that we need to see assumptions and diagnostics for. Rather, I think regression is an illustrative example through which to explore why we need to check this stuff, to talk about both the power and pitfalls of public engagement with data.
There are four assumptions that need to be true to run a linear (least squares) regression: independence of observations, linearity, constancy of variance, and normality. (Some purists add a fifth, existence, which, whatever.)
Independence of Observations
This is the biggie, and it’s why doing good research can be so hard and expensive. It’s the necessary assumption that one observation does not affect another. This is the assumption that requires randomness. Remember that in statistics error, or necessary and expected variation, is inevitable, but bias, or the systematic influence on observations, is lethal.
Suppose you want to see how eating ice cream affects blood sugar level. You gather 100 students into the gym and have them all eat ice cream. You then go one by one through the students and give them a blood test. You dutifully record everyone’s values. When you get back to the lab, you find that your data does not match that of much of the established research literature. Confused, you check your data again. You use your spreadsheet software to arrange the cells by blood sugar. You find a remarkably steady progression of results running higher to lower. Then it hits you: it took you several hours to test the 100 students. The highest readings are all from the students who were first to be tested, the lowest from those who were tested last. Your data was corrupted by an uncontrolled variable, time-after-eating-to-test. Your observations were not truly independent of each other – one observation influenced another because taking one delayed taking the other. This is an example that you’d hope most people would avoid, but the history of research is the history of people making oversights that were, in hindsight, quite obvious.
Independence is scary because threats to it so often lurk out of sight. And the presumption of independence often prohibits certain kind of analysis that we might find natural. For example, think of assigning control and test conditions to classes rather than individual students in educational research. This is often the only practical way to do it; you can’t fairly ask teachers to only teach half their students one technique and half another. You give one set of randomly-assigned classes a new pedagogical technique, while using the old standard with your control classes. You give a pre- and post-test to both and pop both sets of results in an ANOVA. You’ve just violated the assumption of independence. We know that there are clustering effects of children within classrooms; that is, their results are not entirely independent of each other. We can correct for this sort of thing using techniques like hierarchical modeling, but first we have to recognize that those dangers exist!
Independence is the assumption that is least subject to statistical correction. It’s also the assumption that is the hardest to check just by looking at graphs. Confidence in independence stems mostly from rigorous and careful experimental design. You can check a graph of your observations (your actual data points) against your residuals (the distance between your observed values and the linear progression from your model), which can sometimes provide clues. But ultimately, you’ve just got to know your data was collected appropriately. On this one, we’re largely on our own. However, I think it’s a good idea for academic researchers to provide online access to a Residuals vs. Observations graph when they run a regression. This is very rare, currently.
Here’s a Residuals vs. Observations graph I pulled off of Google Images. This is what we want to see: snow. Clear nonrandom patterns in this plot are bad.
The name of the technique is linear regression, which means that observed relationships should be roughly linear to be valid. In other words, you want your relationship to fall along a more or less linear path as you move across the x axis; the relationship can be weaker or it can be stronger, but you want it to be more or less as strong as you move across the line. This is particularly the case because curvilinear relationships can appear to regression analysis to be no relationship. Regression is all about interpolation: if I check my data and find a strong linear relationship, and my data has a range from A to B, I should be able to check any x value within A and B and have a pretty good prediction for y. (What “pretty good” means in practice is a matter of residuals and r-squared, or the portion of the variance in y that’s explained by my xs.) If my relationship isn’t linear, my confidence in that prediction is unfounded.
Take a look at these scatter plots. Both show close to zero linear relationship according to Pearson’s product-moment coefficient:
And yet clearly, there’s something very different going on from one plot to the next. The first is true random variance; there is no consistent relationship between our x and y variables. The second is a very clear association; it’s just not a linear relationship. The degree and direction of y varying along x changes over different values for x. Failure to recognize that non-linear relationship could compel us to think that there is no relationship at all. If the violation of linearity is as clear and consistent as in this scatter plot, it can be cleaned up fairly easily by transforming the data.
Regression is fairly robust to violations of linearity, and it’s worth noting that any relationship that is sufficiently lower than 1 will be non-linear in the strict sense. But clear, consistent curves in data can invalidate our regression analyses.
Readers could check data for linearity if scatter plots are posted for simple linear regression. For multilinear regression, it’s a bit messier; you could plot every individual predictor, but I would be satisfied if you just mention that you checked linearity.
Constancy of variance
Also known by one of my very favorite ten-cent words, homoscedasticity. Constancy of variance means that, along your range of x predictors, your y varies about as much; it has as much spread, as much error. Remember, when I’m doing inferential statistics, I’m sampling, and sampling means sampling error – even if I’m getting quality results, I’m inevitably going to get differences in my data from one collection of samples to the next. But if our assumptions are true, we can trust that those samples will vary in predictable intervals relative to the true mean. That is, if an SAT score predicts freshman year GPA with a certain degree of consistency for students scoring 400, it should be about as consistent for students scoring 800, 1200, and 1600, even though we know that from one data set to the next, we’re not going to get the exact same values even if we assume that all of the variables of interest are the same. We just need to know that the degree to which they vary for a given x is constant over our range.
Why is this important? Think again about interpolation. I run a regression because I want to understand a relationship between various quantitative variables, and often because I want to use my predictor variables to… predict. Regression is useful insofar as I can move along the axes of my x values and produce a meaningful, subject-to-error-but-still-useful value for y. Violating the assumption of constant variance means that you can’t predict y with equal confidence as you move around x(s); the relationship is stronger at some points than others, making you vulnerable to inaccurate predictions.
Here’s a residuals plot showing the dreaded megaphone effect: the error (size of residuals, difference between observations and results expected from the regression equation) increases as we move from low to high values of x. The relationship is strong at low values of x and much weaker at high values.
We could check homoscedasticity by having access to residual plots. Violations of constant variance can often be fixed via transformation, although it may often be easier to use techniques that are more inherently robust to this violation, such as quantile regression.
The concept of the normal distribution is at once simple and counterintuitive, and I’ve spent a lot of my walks home trying to think of the best way to explain it. The “parametric” in parametric statistics refers to the assumption that there is a given underlying distribution for most observable data, and frequently this distribution is the normal distribution or bell curve. Think of yourself walking down the street and noticing that someone is unusually tall or unusually short. The fact that you notice is in and of itself a consequence of the normal distribution. When we think of someone that is unusually tall or short, we are implicitly assuming that we will find fewer and fewer people as we move further along the extremes of the height distribution. If you see a man in North American who is 5’10, he is above average height, but you wouldn’t bat an eye; if you see a man who is 6’3, you might think yourself, that’s a tall guy; when you see someone who is 6’9, you say, wow, he is tall!, and when you see a 7 footer, you take out your cell phone. This is the central meaning of the normal distribution: that the average is more likely to occur than extremes, and that the relationship between position on the distribution and probability of occurrence is predictable.
Not everything in life is normally distributed. Poll 1,000 people and ask how much money they received in car insurance payments last year and it won’t look normal. But a remarkable amount of naturally occurring phenomena are normally distributed, simply thanks to the reality of numbers and extremes, and the central limit theorem teaches us that essentially all averages are normally distributed. (That is, if I take a 100 person sample of a population for a given quantitative trait, I will get a mean; if I take another 100 person sample, I will get a similar but not exact mean, and so on. If I plot those means, they will be normal even if the overall distribution is not.)
The assumption of normality in regression requires our data to be roughly normally distributed; in order to assess the relationship of y as it moves across x, we need to know the relative frequency of extreme observations to observations close to the mean. It’s a fairly robust assumption, and you’re never going to have perfectly normal data, but too strong of a violation will invalidate your analysis. We check normality with what’s called a qq plot. Here’s an almost-perfect one, again scraped from Google Images:
That strongly linear, nearly 45 degree angle is just what we want to see. Here’s a bad one, demonstrating the “fat tails” phenomenon – that is, too many observations clustered at the extremes relative to the mean:
Usually the rule is that unless you’ve got a really clear break from a straightish 45 degree angle, you’re probably alright. When the going gets tough, seek help from a statistician.
OK, so 2000 words into this thing, we’ve checked out four assumptions. Are we good? Well, not so fast. We need to check a few diagnostic measures, or what my stats instructor used to call “the laundry list.” This is a matter of investigating influence. When we run an analysis like regression, we’re banking on the aggregate power of all of our observations to help us make responsible observations and inferences. We never want to rely too heavily on individual or small numbers of observations because that increases the influence of error in our analysis. Diagnostic measures in regression typically involve using statistical procedures to look for influential observations that have too much sway over our analysis.
The first thing to say about outliers is that you want a systematic reason for eliminating them. There are entire books about the identification and elimination of outliers, and I’m not qualified to say what the best method is in any given situation. But you never want to toss an observation simply because it would help your analysis. When you’ve got that one data point that’s dragging your line out of significance, it’s tempting to get rid of it, but you want to analyze that observation for a methodology-internal justification for eliminating it. On the other hand, sometimes you have the opposite situation: your purported effect is really the product of a single or small number of influential outliers that have dragged the line in your favor (that is, to a p-value you like). Then, of course, the temptation is simply to not mention the outlier and publish anyway. Especially if a tenure review is in your future…
Some examples of influential observation diagnostics in regression include examining leverage, or outliers in your predictors that have a great deal of influence on your overall model; Cook’s Distance, which tells you how different your model will be if you delete a given observation; DFBetas, which tells you how a given predictor observation influences on a particular parameter estimate; and more. Most modern statistical packages like SAS or R have commands for checking diagnostic measures like these. While offering numbers would be nice, I would mostly like it if researchers reassured readers that they had run diagnostic measures for regression and found acceptable results. Just let me know: I looked for outliers and influential observations and things came back fairly clean.
Regression is just one part of a large number of techniques and applications that are happening in data journalism right now. But essentially any statistical techniques are going to involve checking assumptions and diagnostic measures. A typical ANOVA, for example, the categorical equivalent of regression, will involve checking some of the same assumptions. In the era of the internet, there is no reason not to provide a link to a brief, simple rundown of what quality controls were pursued in your analysis.
None of these things are foolproof. Sums of squares are spooky things; we get weird results as we add and remove predictors from our models. Individual predictors are strongly significant by themselves but not when added together; models are significant with no individual predictors significant; individual predictors are highly significant without model significance; the order you put your predictors in changes everything; and so on. It’s fascinating and complicated. We’re always at the mercy of how responsible and careful researchers are. But by sharing information, we raise the odds that what we’re looking at is a real effect.
This might all sound like an impossibly high bar to clear. There are so many ways things can go wrong. And it’s true that, in general, I worry that people today are too credulous towards statistical arguments, which are often advanced without sufficient qualifications. There are some questions where statistics more often mislead than illuminate. But there is a lot we can and do know. We know that age is highly predictive of height in children but not in adults; we know that there is a relationship between SAT scores and freshman year GPA; we know point differential is a better predictor of future win-loss record than past win-loss record. We can learn lots of things, but we always do it better together. So I think that academic researchers and data journalists should share their work to a greater degree than they do now. That requires a certain compromise. After all, it’s scary to have tons of strangers looking over your shoulder. So I propose that we get more skeptical and critical on our statistical arguments as a media and readership, but more forgiving of individual researchers who are, after all, only human. That strikes me as a good bargain.
And one I’m willing to make myself, so please email me to point out the mistakes I’ve inevitably made in this post.

Bychawa is a small town about 25km south of the city of Lublin that can trace its origins back to 1325 when it is mentioned that there was a Roman Vatholic church there. Although the land to the north of Bychawa is relatively flat, the town is located at the confluence of some small rivers in small but steep sided valleys. Bychawa gained its town rights in 1557, which in terms of Europe gave it a range of rights and defined the way it would grow.
When we arrived in Bychawa it was a cool Saturday morning in September, which accounts for why some of the pictures are a bit grey. As the day wore on it became brighter until the sun managed to break through the clouds. I didn't manage to get all the pictures I wanted, but we did enjoy visiting the town neverthe less.
There is a rectangular rynek, or market square, which is now a small park. Most of the original buildings surrounding the rynek have disappeared and been replaced with housing from different periods of the 20th century. There is still one early wooden building, the lower floor brick and the upper in wood, which is of the type that would have been common there. There is no sign of any form of town hall at the rynek, the original having either disappeared or been converted into a house. Just across the road, on the western side, is the sole remaining building you would expect to find there, and that is the church.
One of the few businesses on the old rynek is this one selling equipment for the small farm and garden.
The church appears to have originally been a simple brick, one nave Baroque edifice, but while the end nearest the rynek still visibly the original building with a Baroque spire, it has been much extended in the Classical style. As the original church overlooked a small, steep sided valley, the extension only just fits on the small bluff and the wall defining the churchyard boundary also buttresses the slope here. Within the churchyard, which like most in Poland were closed for burials in the 19th century and are now just grass and trees, is a wooden bell tower from 1862. Inside, if you are lucky to be there when it is open, you can look up to see the three bells. I didn't manage to get a photo of the church as it was closely hugged by mature trees.
The wooden bell tower beside the church.
The small valley which the church overlooks contains a lake a few hundred metres to the north and a variety of trees that makes it obvious that it once formed part of a park. There are the remains of a fortified palace by the lake but they are much overgrown and not obvious to find. Also between the lake and the Kosarzewka river is a mill, but I do not know if it still functions. Between the Rynek and the palace there are many wooden houses and a small hospital. On the east side of the river is the town cemetary, with graves on the sides of the valley and the flat land on the top. Most of the graves are from the 20th century, although there is a chapel in the Neo-Gothic style which is the final resting place of many members of the XXX family.
Fretwork on a minor scale on an abandoned cottage on the west side of the village.
A brick built cottage, but still with the basic dimensions of the wooden cottages pred-dating it.
Beside the church is a large priest's house built in 1902 and extended in 1914. The house has a perimeter wall which look that it dates back to at least the 19th century and was probably the perimeter of the previous building. This part of the town once had many merchants and small businesses and there are a few small warehouses and a disused blacksmiths shop.
A former blacksmith's shop, built on the edge of a steep scarp slope.
Just to the right of the former blacksmith's is this slowly decaying and now abandoned cottage. If you look carefully at the end of the building, you can see that it is actually located on a steep slope, with a lower floor of local limestone.
To the east of the old rynek is the remains of a smaller one, in an area of sad decay that only now is showing signs of recovery. It looks like it was mainly an area for poor people during communist times, but now some of the buildings are being replaced and others renovated.
Just to the east of the old rynek is a smaller one with many 'Russian' traders, which this wooden and brick building overlooks.
Also by the Russian market is this completely wooden building, with just the lower storey plastered.
Unmistakably a town building, with its narrow frontage.
Cottages at the edge of town, not far from the centre of this very small town.
The centre of the town has moved to the southeast and about 200m from the rynek we find a disused synagogue from the 18th century and a smattering of 19th and early 20th century buildings. The synagogue served many years after the second world war as the local fire station, and for this 2 large doorways were knocked into one wall. The building has lost almost all its plaster and glass from its windows, but it is still complete and with what looks like a sound roof. I failed to get a picture of the synagogue as I wasn't certain while there that it was the synagogue, and then I was distracted by an old lorry before I remembered to take a photo of the building anyway.
Nearby are still quite a few wooden houses and shops of one storey plus a couple of rows of 19th century 2 storey shops so typical of rural Polish towns. There are a couple of 3 storey buildings from about 1914, one which you can still make out early painted shop signs. This first building looks to have lost one wing at some stage, but up at roof level there are the remains of a clock with the horse shoe symbol of the town painted on it. The other building has painted, almost gargoyle like heads with intertwinned heads beneath.
2 storey 19th century market town buildings in brick.
Still visible are the shop names from an earlier age, but the building looks like it has lost the wing on the right.
Heads and snakes adorn this building, very similar to the previous, although this one is complete.
On a side street to the west is a wooden, electric powered flour mill from the 1920's. From its location it is likely that this mill replaces an earlier wind powered one. After the second world war it became a co-operative but it was not able to survive the change to a market economy and now stands abandoned.
The electrically powered flour mill, disused.
The local school building, built in the first decade of the 20th century.
Moving further down the street we find 1950's Bychawa, plastered brick
residential blocks with their distinctive 2 pane, vertical split windows.
In this area we find the town and gmina offices, the dom kultury and other
paraphanalia of communist Poland. a bit further beyond are low blocks of
flats from all decades to the present, and behind them spreading suburbs
of private housing.
This is quite typical of many town houses, even to the ivy growing up around the balcony and over the entrance path. This probably dates from the inter-war period.
Bychawa is a quiet and pleasant town to visit although it does bustle a bit more on market days. On the fringes of the town are many farms and tractors seem as common on the road as cars at times. Many small farmers come in and set up small stalls, or lay there produce on the ground, at various places around the town on almost any day of the week except sunday. Visiting Bychawa is really easy as there are buses at least once an hour. Don't bother using PKS as there are incredibly slow, from Lublin railway station you can take a private minibus which will get you there in less than 30 minutes.
Every summer there is a pierogi cooking competition and this is the
most likely time that you will find food to eat here. There are 3 cafes
scattered about where you can find something to eat but nothing like a
restaurant. At weekends, like most small towns, it is best to bring something
with you to eat and drink.
Bychawa Jewish Cemetery I :The cemetery is in the center, about
100 meters NE of the market square at Kosciuszki St. Present town population
is 1,000-5,000 with no Jews.
Bychawa jewish Cemetery II: located around 600 meters S of the town at Partyzantow St. This unlandmarked Orthodox Jewish cemetery was established around 1910. The isolated suburban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all with no wall, fence or gate.

Lewis Hamilton in Montreal played down reports that he has been sounded out by McLaren to return to the Woking outfit who next year ditch Mercedes engines for Honda power, the manufacturer with whom they enjoyed huge success with in the eighties.
Reporting from the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Daily Mail correspondent Jonathan McEvoy claimed thatthe Woking based team, having given the 2008 world champion his Formula 1 debut seven years ago, have been in contact with Hamilton.
McLaren, and particularly its incoming works engine supplier Honda, is undoubtedly pushing for a top driver to head the charge in 2015, with reports linking Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel already doing the rounds.
“For now the interest on both sides is tentative,” said McEvoy, revealing the Hamilton-McLaren link.
On the face of it, a return to McLaren for Hamilton, 29, would seem unlikely. He only left the team that nurtured him from boyhood at the end of 2012, having reportedly fallen out with supremo Ron Dennis.
And now, believed to be the equal highest paid Formula 1 driver alongside Alonso, he is at the wheel of the ultra-dominant Mercedes. But Hamilton is also embroiled in a seismic teammate spat with Nico Rosberg as the pair tussle for the 2014 title.
“If Hamilton were to lose the title to Rosberg,” said McEvoy, “imagine the trauma that would accompany that outcome.”
Hamilton, however, hinted in Montreal, venue for the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, that while he is yet to ink a new deal, that is eventually the most likely outcome.
“At the moment no,” he said when asked if he has signed a new contract with Mercedes, “but I have always said that I feel happy in this team. I cannot imagine myself anywhere else in the future.” (GMM)

A minister tells of his first Sunday in a new parish and of presenting the children’s message. It seems the sanctuary in the new church had some magnificent stained glass windows, so his message centered on how each of us is called to help make up the whole picture of life (the life of the community of the faithful). Like the pictures in the windows, it takes many little panels of glass to make the whole picture.
And then he said, “You see, each one of you is a little pane.” And then pointing to each child, “You’re a little pane. And you’re a little pane. And you’re a little pane. And…”
It took a few moments before he realized why everyone was laughing so hard.

Price qualified to the NCAA Championships in two events - long jump and 100m - and also ran in the 4x100m relay at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds in Austin, Texas. In the preliminary heat, Price set a new personal best in the 100m, finishing in a wind-aided (3.0) time of 11.32, her fastest time under all conditions. She earned a NCAA berth in the quarterfinals by placing second in her heat with a time of 11.65. She tied for seventh place in the long jump with a mark of 6.28/20-7.25 to qualify in that event for the second consecutive year. Additionally, she ran the second leg in the 4x100m Relay, an event that the Bruins missed out on qualifying by .002 seconds.

As you reach retirement years, you may have already noticed your vision beginning to change. Perhaps you have trouble adjusting to small details or light, or you may need glasses to perform simple tasks such as reading. While many of these changes are normal, they may be preventing you from enjoying an active lifestyle or living independently.
It’s never too late to get started on looking out for your eye health. Unfortunately, many eye-related diseases don’t show symptoms until the condition is advanced, so early detection is key if you want to improve your chances.
Now in its second decade, September is Healthy Aging® Month, which is an annual health observance designed to focus national attention on the positive aspects of growing older -- and that includes taking care of your eyes. Nevada Eye Physicians can help you maintain your vision by screening for age-related diseases that affect your eyes. This month, we encourage you to educate yourself about these conditions and schedule a routine eye examination at any of our 8 locations in Nevada including Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Mesquite, and Pahrump. Our team can evaluate your eyes through a series of simple tests designed to determine if you have issues such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, and whether any action needs to be taken.
When was your last eye exam?
If you are over the age of 60 and cannot answer this question, then you should definitely set up an appointment with one of our experienced eye care professionals at Nevada Eye Physicians. Age brings about changes that can affect your eyesight. Some of these changes are more serious than others. But for most issues, they can be easily treated and there are things you can do to protect your vision moving forward. Even if you are not experiencing any out of the ordinary symptoms with your eyes or vision, it’s still important to attend routine eye exams. There are many conditions or diseases in the eye that may not present immediate symptoms, but a problem may still exist that only a trained optometrist or ophthalmologist can identify. The key to good eye health is to have regular eye exams so you can spot problems early.
During your eye exam, your doctor will perform several tests that can detect vision problems early on so that they can be treated and corrected before they progress and create further complications. Your doctor may also place drops in your eyes to dilate the pupils so they can easily look inside. This method is the only way to discover certain eye diseases that have no early symptoms. It is important that those with contacts or glasses keep their prescription updated every year as this may change over time.
Read on for information about certain eye conditions that become more prevalent as you age and how the professional team at Nevada Eye Physicians can help treat them.
Las Vegas, NV is situated on the floor of the Mojave Desert with very little humidity, which means residents likely suffer from dry eyes from time to time. However, this condition is not just related to location. When tear glands are unable to produce enough tears, chronic dry eyes are the result. Dry eyes should never be overlooked since this symptom can cause discomfort, itching, burning, or even loss of vision. This makes it difficult to read or sit at a computer for extended periods of time. An experienced physician may suggest using medicated or over-the-counter eye drops along with a humidifier to restore your natural lubrication.
Most people who develop presbyopia will not notice any changes until after they turn 40 years old. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of ability to see small print or close objects, even when holding them closely. This is due to the gradual thickening of the lens and loss of elasticity. A good example of presbyopia is when an individual holds a book or newspaper at arm’s length to see the words more clearly. This condition can be improved with prescription reading glasses, contact lenses, or surgery if your doctor recommends it.
A cataract occurs when a normally clear lens becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through the eye. While most cataracts develop slowly over time with no symptoms, eventually it becomes more difficult to see. People with cataracts have cloudy vision, similar to looking through a foggy window. A simple surgery allows your doctor to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear plastic one. It is recommended that you visit a Nevada Eye Physicians’ office in Las Vegas, NV or any of our other 7 locations across Nevada including Henderson, Boulder City, Mesquite, and Pahrump for an eye exam if you begin to notice blurred, cloudly, or dim vision or recent sensitivity to light and glare. It could be a sign that you have developed cataracts and need to have the condition treated.
Glaucoma is a serious disease that can progress from vision loss to permanent blindness. Some risk factors for glaucoma are age, medical conditions such as diabetes, race, and certain prescription medications. Other less common causes are physical trauma to the eye, infection, and blockage of the blood vessels. Glaucoma causes increased pressure in the eye, but most people will not notice any pain or symptoms and will need to be assessed by a doctor to confirm if they have it. Treatment for glaucoma can include oral medications, prescription eye drops, laser treatment, or even surgery.
The macula is the center part of the retina that has millions of nerve cells, all of which are sensitive to light. This area is what helps individuals see small details, such as letters when reading. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when you begin to lose these cells due to age, causing blurry vision. While AMD does not cause complete blindness, there is no cure in the advanced stages of the disease. When caught early on, you may be able to benefit from certain nutritional supplements. For more severe cases a doctor may recommend laser treatment or medications.
The dedicated team at Nevada Eye Physicians is fully prepared and ready to help you handle any age-related eye conditions. In observance of Healthy Aging Month this September as well as all year long, you can keep your eyes in the best shape possible by being proactive and scheduling regular eye exams. Don’t wait to develop symptoms before seeing an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Using the latest tools and technology at the 8 locations of Nevada Eye Physicians in areas including Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Mesquite, and Pahrump, we will be able to understand any issues you are experiencing and improve your eye health so you can continue to enjoy an enhanced quality of life. Simply contact an office location that is convenient for you and make your appointment today.

Rebel Mariposa knew two things just a few weeks ago: she wanted to host a pop-up vegan dinner this summer, and she wanted to volunteer with Central American refugees over the Fourth of July weekend. Little did she know that these seemingly unrelated events would come together this Friday.
Mariposa runs Rebel Eats, a catering collective based on vegan and sometimes raw food. Recently, she made plans for the first ever vegan pop-up restaurant in San Antonio with the help of chef Nadia Casaperalta and artist Beto DeLeon. She soon discovered that the pop-up could benefit a good cause.
The pop-up restaurant, a fairly new concept, began as a way for chefs and diners alike to break out of culinary norms. Oftentimes invite-only, a pop-up’s mobile nature allows it to happen in a variety of places, from private homes to warehouses and even open fields.
“People were getting outside of the restaurant scene and doing these dinners in new places,” Mariposa said, adding that pop-up restaurants introduce patrons to different foods, new chefs, and even opportunities to donate to charity.
On the Fourth of July, she found the missing ingredient to her pop-up idea when a friend in McAllen wrote about the growing number of refugees being detained at the Texas-Mexico border, and Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley’s search for volunteers.
“What better way to spend my weekend?” Mariposa said, recognizing that volunteer efforts are often short-staffed on weekends.
She petitioned friends for donations, and soon set off to the border with a car full of donations and a pocket full of money, which she used to buy items the refugees needed.
“I’ve been overwhelmed by how many people want to help,” she said.
What did refugees need most? Clothing and shoes for children, who make up an increasingly larger percentage of the refugee population at the border.
According to the Women’s Refugee Commission, the U.S. has seen a rising number of young refugees fleeing Central American poverty, violence, and unemployment. As many as 90,000 minor refugees could arrive in the U.S. this year.
This came as no surprise to Mariposa, who traveled to Guatemala in 2006 to visit a friend working with the Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA). The network of volunteers trains members to support and protect Guatemalan citizens giving testimony against Efraín Ríos Montt, whose dictatorship led to widespread violence and indigenous peasant massacres in the 1980s.
The mass migration is a side effect of a long history of violence, dictatorship, the after-effects of U.S. interventionism, and corporate abuses from companies like Chiquita, Mariposa said.
“They came here not because they wanted to, but because they had to,” she said.
While Mariposa worked with Catholic Charities during her mot recent visit to the border, she will be volunteering on her own this time around. Her plans are similar to her previous trip. She will buy the essential items the refugees need the most.
The reservation-only dinner will feature a four-course vegan meal at a private residence in Southtown, with room for 40 patrons.
“It’s not about me and my food – it’s gonna be something bigger than that,” Mariposa said.
Reservations can be made by email or by calling 619-886-2594.

Installation method of CCEWOOL insulating ceramic module:
1. Before installation, it is best to weld the short anchoring nails on the furnace wall. Because the head of the short anchoring nails is threaded, it is required to be covered with a layer of heat-insulating rock wool. The thickness of the insulating rock wool is best controlled between 15 ~ 20 mm. In order to ensure that the center hole of the back bead of the module is aligned with the short anchoring nail, the short anchoring nail needs to be inserted into the hollow sleeve in the insulating ceramic module, and the nut is placed in the sleeve of the wrench. When everything is ready , use wrench to fix the nut to the head of the short anchor.
2. After the nuts, the short anchor bolts, and the back bead of insulating ceramic module are fixed by the above steps, the entire insulating ceramic module can be fixed on the furnace shell.
3. The reinforcing plate is on the back bead of the module, which is mainly used for the connection with the bolt. When installing insulating ceramic module the folding direction of the module needs to be staggered, so that the modules are installed at intervals. When after installation, the insulating ceramic module can expand freely to fill the gap.
Above are the installation steps of CCEWOOL insulating ceramic module on furnace wall. Generally speaking, it is simple. However, each installation step must be treated strictly and carefully. Otherwise it will cause series accident.

Washington (CNN) – Longtime ABBA fan and Republican Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has a favorite among this year's Kennedy Center lifetime achievement honorees.
Speaking on the red carpet on his way into the 34th Annual Kennedy Center Honors Sunday night, Gingrich said, "Since my ring tones are from “Mamma Mia,” I have a certain bias towards Meryl Streep."
(CNN) – As support for Newt Gingrich surges in Iowa, Mitt Romney’s lead has dwindled in New Hampshire, according to new polls measuring support for candidates in the early caucus and primary states.
In a poll released Sunday, former House Speaker Gingrich has risen to the top in Iowa and former Massachusetts Gov. Romney remains ahead in New Hampshire, with competitors catching up.
Washington (CNN) - Democrats on Monday will propose a compromise plan to extend the payroll tax cut that includes a "serious" way to pay the more than $200 billion price tag, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee says.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, will introduce the compromise proposal Monday after the chamber last week voted down competing Democratic and Republican plans, Sen. Kent Conrad told "Fox News Sunday."FULL STORY
(CNN) – A conservative Republican on Sunday openly balked at the idea of a Newt Gingrich presidency, basing his qualms on the former House Speaker’s leadership while in Congress.
“I’m not inclined to be a supporter of Newt Gingrich, having served under him for four years and experienced, personally, his leadership,” Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn told “Fox News Sunday."
New York (CNN) – GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich claims his record in Congress as “an aggressive reformer” presaged the tea party movement, though much of it came through the kind of compromise with Democrats that is currently unpopular with conservative primary voters.
“I think I represented the spirit of the tea party before there was a tea party,” the former House Speaker said Saturday, adding that he wouldn’t have been able to pass balanced budget legislation that led to reducing the deficit by $405 billion without the help of President Bill Clinton.
(CNN) – In the scramble for Herman Cain supporters after his exit from the 2012 Republican presidential campaign, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said Sunday that she has already gotten a boost.
“One thing we’ve seen a lot of is Herman Cain supporters have been calling our office and they’ve been coming over to our side,” Bachmann told CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley” program, adding “part of that is because people see that I’m the tea party candidate in the race and they saw Herman Cain as an outsider and I think they see that my voice would be the one that would be most reflective of his.”
(CNN) – Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Sunday that his presidential campaign rises above the temporary ebbs and flows of the Republican nominating process.
“We’ve had the flavors of the month up and down so far in this campaign,” Paul told CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley” in reference to different candidates reaching front-runner status, and then declining just as quickly.
(CNN) – Texas Rep. Ron Paul said real estate mogul Donald Trump could hurt the Republican Party with his most recent foray into presidential politics.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley,” Paul said he was surprised at Trump’s current role in the race, including a scheduled debate that Trump will moderate a week before the January 3 Iowa caucuses..
Portsmouth, New Hampshire (CNN) - One of New Hampshire's largest daily newspapers in its endorsement Sunday defended Mitt Romney against charges of flip-flopping, saying they rejected the notion his positions "should have been written in blood, never to change."
The Foster's Daily Democrat editorial board spent much of its endorsement taking on the "myth and mythology which has been used to attack" Romney, telling readers they had looked the former Massachusetts governor in the eye and read his book and policy papers.
Washington (CNN) – Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that his home state of Arizona could be won by President Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley that Arizona and other southwest states “can be up for grabs” due to the growing Hispanic vote.

Current mode not stable enough
The converter makes noise while operating in current mode.
The duty cycle of the power converter oscillates a lot in operation. This has been observed in open-loop and is independent of the control loop.
The harmonic content of the current measurements were studied for leg 1 on converter 2. This harmonic content shows some noise near the switching frequency and, more generally, a lot of noise on the current measurement.
Another potential problem is the fact that the measurement chain has a signal-to-noise ration that might be too small. The current measurement range is +/- 60A while the maximum expected current is +/- 8A.
Document the noise on the current measure with the existing hardware
Study a physical LC filter for the measurements
Test the current mode with the filter and document the results for a single leg
Brainstorm changes to the measurement chain in order to rise the signal-to-noise ratio and document them

The Wall Street Journal turns 125 next year, and to honor the birthday, the paper has launched a new blog.
The vertical, creatively titled Today in WSJ History, is fairly self-explanatory. It will be a place for the paper to document how it covered stories of the past, both big and small.
Pictured on the right is the Journal’s first front page, from July 8, 1889. That’s the same year that Vincent van Gogh painted “Starry Night.” Coincidence? We think not.

Online Conference Program
TASH publishes the Conference schedule through an interactive website that allows attendees to explore the schedule like never before! Attendees can search the entire conference schedule, all speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and other attendees. Attendees can also personalize their schedule and share it with friends. The Conference schedule is available through any web browser or on the conference app that attendees can download to their mobile phones and use on-site during the conference. We will have free wifi available for all conference attendees. The wifi network name and access key will be posted at the Information Desk.
Large-Print Conference Program
TASH also produces a large-print program. If you need this version, it is available from the TASH Information Desk.
CART Services / ASL Interpreting
Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) and / or American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting is provided when requested by attendees in advance of the Conference. To locate an interpreter you have requested, please report to the TASH Registration Desk, where a volunteer will assist you. CART is automatically provided at the Opening and Closing Plenary Sessions as well as the Membership Luncheon and Awards Ceremony.
Face masks are optional. We ask that you respect people’s decision, whether to wear a mask or to not wear a mask.
No Flash Photography
A number of people with disabilities have co-occurring photosensitive epilepsy. We encourage documenting and sharing your experience at the TASH conference, but it is critically important to the safety of our attendees that you refrain from use of flash photography or any other strobing devices (flashing “ringtones” on your mobile device, rapid cuts or flashing in media in your presentation, etc.). Also, some rapid audio beats can have a similar effect, so if in doubt, do not include such media in presentations.
Some events at the conference will include music, amplified audio or other loud noise. If you have sound sensitivity, noise-cancelling earmuffs are available for loan from the registration desk.
This is a fragrance-free event.
There will be a relaxation room available to attendees that will provide a comfortable, quiet, low-light, calm space where convention attendees can spend time away from noise, lights, and other stimuli of the conference. TASH staff at the information desk can direct you to the relaxation room.
Conference Code of Conduct
TASH is committed to our Conference being conducted in an environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, free from harassment, for participants of all physical and intellectual abilities, physical appearances, behavioral support needs, body sizes, races, national origins, gender and trans identities, sexual orientations, ages, family and marital statuses, veteran status, and beliefs, whether religious, political or otherwise. Harassment includes, but is not limited to: deliberate intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; disparaging or disrespectful remarks, inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. We ask everyone to be mindful of how you interact with others – and to remember that harassment is not about what you intend, but about how your words or actions are received.
As it is sometimes perceived that a different set of rules apply to the Internet, we also want to remind you that what is said and done online (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, instant messaging) is just as real as what happens in-person.
This policy against harassment is not intended to limit open discussion of the merits of particular work or issues presented at the TASH Conference. People are allowed to disagree with each other. When people disagree, they must treat each other with respect and dignity.
By attending the TASH Conference, you agree to maintain and support our Conference as a harassment-free space. If you feel that someone has harassed you or otherwise treated you inappropriately – or you have witnessed inappropriate or harassing behavior – please alert any member of the TASH staff (identifiable by STAFF badges). If an attendee engages in disrespectful behavior, the Conference staff may take any action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to warning the offender or requiring the offender to leave the Conference. No refunds will be offered to anyone asked to leave the Conference for disrespectful behavior.
TASH is not responsible for the actions of others. Individuals are responsible for their own actions.
The culture of the TASH Conference is everyone’s responsibility
One of the defining characteristics of the TASH Conference is that everyone contributes to making a welcoming, supportive environment. Please do not let someone in need of support go unassisted; if a need is greater than you can address yourself, please ask for assistance, either from TASH staff or other Conference attendees.
We welcome your feedback, and we thank you for working together to make this an inclusive, enjoyable, and welcoming experience for everyone who participates.

Most smartphones these days come with a unibody or metal design giving a better experience and feel but at the lack of expandable storage. However, smartphones usually now ship with 32GB as standard in the base model which is sufficient for most users and media consumers. But there are still phones like the iPhone 6/6+ which have a 16GB option as the base with 64GB and 128GB available as an upgrade. This leaves most consumers to choose the 16GB option due to its cheaper price point. But will that be sufficient for users in todays modern standards?
Smartphones are generally used for doing tasks that involve more than just calling or text messaging. Most users like to use a lot apps from their respective app store to get exactly what their looking for such as Social media apps, games, utilities app and so on. But with the evergrowing world of technology, Users would not want to limit the power of their devices to its memory capacity. On top of everything lies the camera, one of the most standout feature for any smartphone and one that is crucial to stay on top of the social media game.
These days, games on smartphones are much advanced and graphically intensive and in some cases emulating console level gaming, all this results in greater size of the apps. Camera these days are exceptionally good with amazing quality and advanced technologies such as slow motion, time lapse, Optical Image stabilization. Video and photo quality have also greatly improved with some smartphones providing 4k video recording and RAW image formats. All this leads again to greater size of each of these files.
Generally speaking, Smartphones these days are becoming ever more powerful and capable which also requires a minimmum of 32GB to fit most users need and to exercise the power it truly has under the hood. 16 GB is only going to have a tiny room to spare for your photos, videos and apps since some of it is already consumed by the operating system itself.
To sum it up, if your in the market for a new smartphone its important to consider the memory variation of your phone. To know exactly what would be your best fit, click here. As a precaution, its better to shell out a couple of extra bucks for more storage than a 16 GB to enjoy and fully utilize the power of your smartphone. However, if your device has expandable storage, the 16GB should do you just fine.

It’s not often that you go to an academic conference and a concert breaks out, but that’s what happened in April when scholars, musicians, and writers gathered at USC for “This Great and Crowded City: Woody Guthrie’s Los Angeles.” The famed folk singer would have turned 100 on July 14, and we’re celebrating his birthday by posting audio of some of those presentations to The Huntington’s iTunes U site.
In his keynote address, Jeff Place of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage described the rich musical archive left by Woody Guthrie. Since speaking at the conference, Place has produced Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection, a three-CD set of 57 Guthrie tracks accompanied by a 150-page large-format book.
Contributors to the liner notes include Robert Santelli, executive director of the GRAMMY Museum and co-sponsor of the conference, and Peter La Chappelle, associate professor of history at Nevada State College, who also spoke at the conference, recounting how he found rare recordings by Guthrie at the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research when he was a graduate student at USC about 10 years ago.
“The Great and Crowded City” was also co-sponsored by the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West and Visions and Voices: The USC Arts & Humanities Initiative. Interspersing the academic papers were performances by USC music students who, in the words of Christopher Sampson, associate dean of the popular music program at the USC Thornton School of Music, embody “the direct influence and impact of Woody Guthrie.”
That legacy was also evident in the presentation by historians Dan Cady (of Cal State Fresno) and Doug Flamming (of Georgia Tech), who managed to deliver a probing academic paper peppered by their own renditions of classics from the Guthrie canon: “Do, Re, Me,” “Stewball,” and “Rambling Round.” These songs, said Flamming, “illustrated how Guthrie altered his view about race relations. Woody Guthrie was ahead of his time. Not only did he cross the color line in the late 1930s, he tried to erase it.”
Guthrie’s sympathies extended to Mexican migrant workers, said Josh Kun, associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC. Inspired by the deaths of 32 farmworkers in a plane crash in 1948, Guthrie penned “Deportees,” a song that still surpasses “This Land is Your Land” as the anthem of migrant America, especially in today’s California (and Arizona) political landscape. Kun joined scholars Bryant Simon (Temple University) and Rick Wartzman (Drucker Institute, Claremont Graduate University) in tracing Guthrie’s path from the western migration of John Steibeck’s Tom Joad to the north-south migrations that take place everyday in the American West today.
“Tune in to L.A. stations like 105.5 La Que Buena,” said Kun, “and you’ll hear Tom Joad’s Mexican cousins, but also the ghost of Woody Guthrie himself, who, if he wandered back to Los Angeles, is probably somewhere singing along with a Mexican banda at the top of his lungs.”
You can download many of these presentations from iTunes U or click and listen to the bold links above and below. For more information about centennial celebrations that will continue throughout 2012, visit the website www.woody100.com. Presenters at “This Great and Crowded City” also included Ed Cray, Darryl Holter, Ron Briley, Philip Goff, and Emily Thompson. (A listing of their topics and their affiliations can be found here.) Musical performances included USC students Brett Fromson, Mia Minichiello, Jackson Morgan, Eric Radloff, and Madison Scheckel.
William Deverell, director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West and co-organizer of the conference, reports that a volume of essays about Woody Guthrie is forthcoming.
Matt Stevens is editor of Huntington Frontiers magazine.

The Sun of Santorini by Docle Le, Aluminum Photo Metallic Print
40" x 26"
Limited Edition Print of 25
Docle Le has reinterpreted the traditional sense of how architecture and landscape photography has done historically. Through his photography and post-production techniques, he’s able to demonstrate a wide variety of visualization that would not be capable through photography alone. His interest in restructuring on how his audience should view his image was purposely done to convey the moment of how he saw it be. “Raw photography alone did not convey the way I saw it; I had to do more to it, bring out what I originally envision when I was there at the time,” he had said. “My mind does not demonstrate the true nature of the scene, but how I felt about it. That’s the message I want to have come across, not that because it was done in post, but it’s what I felt that could only be done in post."

First-rounder Ball signs, takes in Fenway experience
Lanky high school lefty was among best two-way players in this year's Draft
By Michael Periatt / MLB.com
BOSTON -- About three hours before first pitch Wednesday, Clay Buchholz stood deep in the right-field corner at Fenway Park playing catch with a fresh-faced and lanky left-hander.
The southpaw was decked out in a full Red Sox uniform, with his pants rolled just below the knees and the jersey hanging loosely off his tall but skinny frame.
His name is Trey Ball and just 13 days ago, the Red Sox tabbed him as an integral part of the future of the franchise when they selected him seventh overall in the First-Year Player Draft. On Wednesday, the Red Sox made it official and signed him to his first professional contract worth $2.75 million.
In total, the Red Sox signed 11 Draft picks Wednesday, but as the first-round pick, Ball was the prize.
"When we sort of go through the checklist of things we need to see in a high school pitcher to invest a first-round pick in, he just checks all the boxes," Boston general manager Ben Cherington said. "He's big, he's athletic. We've gotten to know him very well. This is a good kid, great work ethic, highly competitive."
Cherington acknowledges that as someone who has just graduated high school, Ball -- who looks every bit as youthful as his age suggests -- probably won't be pitching competitively at Fenway in the near future. He heads to Gulf Coast League in Fort Meyers, Fla., on Thursday, and with the seasoning that comes from everyday instruction at the professional level, Cherington and the rest of the Red Sox organization believe Ball has what it takes to be a dominant starter.
On Wednesday, Ball got a preview of what it was like to be on a big league club. After tossing shortly, Buchholz, the staff's ace, came over and maneuvered his understudy's fingers over the seams of a baseball.
"He was showing me how he throws his curveball, you know, because I've only thrown it for two seasons, so that's the pitch I'll need to work on," Ball said. "He was giving me all kinds of pointers on that."
Many of Boston's pitchers came over, introduced themselves and occasionally offered some advice.
Ball also got a look at Boston's clubhouse, where the players -- and especially Dustin Pedroia -- weren't shy about giving him a hard time.
"Yeah, he got a taste of some of our guys in our clubhouse, too," manager John Farrell said. "And to his credit, he handled it great. You've got an 18-year-old that walks in a jacket and tie who obviously comes from a good family. You could see that. And he did his family proud, given what he heard."
"Oh yeah, they were like, 'Hurry up and get up here,'" Ball said. "Dustin Pedroia was like, 'Hurry up and retire,' and all that. He was just giving me a hard time. It was a good time."
At 6-foot-6 and 175 pounds, Ball certainly has room to fill out. Part of the intrigue with him is not what he brings to the table now, but what he can develop with the tools he already has. His fastball sits between 90-94 mph and he also has a changeup and a curveball. Scouts think that as Ball puts on muscle, the velocity on his fastball will only increase. His curveball still has some room to improve, too. His dad -- in an effort to save his arm -- didn't let him throw the pitch until two years ago. For an out pitch, Ball instead relied on a knuckleball.
"I threw it quite a bit," Ball said. "Before I threw my curveball, that was kind of my out pitch when I was ahead of the count. It worked for me."
But don't expect a Tim Wakefield impersonation anytime soon.
"From what I hear, scratch that," he said.
At New Castle High School in Indiana, Ball went 6-0 with a 0.76 ERA during his senior year with 93 strikeouts and 13 walks over 46 innings. He also was a force as a position player -- something he said will be tough to give up. He batted .320 with nine homers, 28 RBIs and 40 runs and was named the Gatorade Indiana Baseball Player of the Year.
Ball hasn't been throwing regularly since his season ended. As a result, the Red Sox will take their time getting the youngster into a routine. Cherington said he'll adjust to a strength routine, a five-day throwing cycle and ideally, will hit the ground running next year. He'll start in the Gulf Coast League and probably won't make his first pitching appearance until July.
"You know, we'll probably keep an eye on how he works this year, with a goal towards just getting on a routine and getting him ready for his first full pro season, which will be next year," Cherington said.
Ball's trip to Fenway and Boston was certainly one he'll remember. He and his family took a Duck Tour around town to check out the city and after seeing Boston for the first time, he hopes to be back.
"It's been a great, great experience. I love this city, love all the people," he said.
"Growing up, that's all I wanted to be was a baseball player. Being able to potentially fulfill that is a great honor."

As America convulses and political gridlock is on everyone’s mind, it seems as good a time as any to look closely at the facile relationship between Burning Man and politics.
I caught heat, back in 2011, for saying that Burning Man and Occupy Wall Street actually have very little in common. I think time has vindicated me, but that heat shows that a lot of people see Burning Man as a kind of political movement … or something close to it. They see Burning Man not just as something capable of influencing society, but as a movement capable of taking power – though they might not use that exact phrase.
And sure, watching people work on their art cars, build their structures, prep their costumes … and especially coming and going from Burning Man, it’s hard to shake the idea that Burning Man is a force that will change the world.
But is it a political force? Is Burning Man a political movement?
The answer is: No. Obviously. Fuck you.
But … if you disagree with me about this, you’re in good company. A lot of people do.
Indeed, a really long conversation I had with Whatsblam the Pro shortly prior to the 2013 Burn covered an absurdly wide range of topics, but the time it really popped – started to get heated in a fruitful way – was when we weren’t talking about Burning Man at all but rather the nature of politics and political change. An informed discussion about Burning Man easily segues into a discussion about the nature of how societies change … making it easy to disagree about whether or not Burning Man has a place in politics.
Yet the arguments against the notion that Burning Man is a political movement seem overwhelming to me.
– Burning Man does not encourage anyone to vote in any specific way. You can’t get accepted for your political beliefs anymore than you can get kicked out for them. You’re no more or less a Burner if you voted Democrat or Republican, Green or Libertarian.
– Burning Man does not advance a particular political philosophy. Nothing in the 10 Principles ever mentions politics, elections, seizing the means of production, taking this country back, or anything else remotely resembling a political slogan.
– There is no “marching order” at Burning Man, no political organization, no canvassing, no GOTV drives, no mailing lists to tell you who’s “good on our issues.”
– Burning Man doesn’t even control the “content” of Burning Man to a substantial degree: it’s a participant driven event and culture, with no artists or participants speaking for anyone but themselves. If you think building a 25 foot phallus is important, whether or not for political reasons, you go right ahead and do it. Other Burners will be along to mock it soon enough.
– Burning Man has never once, in all its history, organized a protest march or rally. It encourages Burners to find DIY and community solutions to issues they care about, but has never suggested a target of protest.
This isn’t to say that Burning Man can’t be a change agent in the world; I very much believe it can. But it’s not a political organization, or an agent of political change per see.
Still people persist … constantly, consistently … in the idea that Burning Man is a kind of political movement. And, if I’m being honest, there are times, lots of times, especially in the weeks before the Burn, that this whole thing feels like a cross between a presidential nominating convention and a righteous filibuster. Fuck yeah.
And that’s interesting.
Why is this? Why does an event and culture that has done everything in its power to avoid any kind of political power, that has explicitly never tried to capitalize on its following and bully pulpit in the political sphere, feel so much like a political movement?
I think there are two reasons, neither of which have much to do with Burning Man itself and everything to do with the context of modern life in which we all live, breathe, and cry.
The first is that our existing political institutions are so clearly failing that we’re all constantly on the lookout for what the next thing might be. Burning Man would probably not feel like a political movement if this were a time when we had confidence in our existing institutions. Instead, however, we live in an era when belief in the institutions we have and the “leaders” who run them is at such a low point that even a prehistoric lake bed starts to look like a greener pasture. We’re desperate enough that no idea is too stupid.
Islands made of buoyant plastic in international waters? Sure, we’ll try that! Returning to the Gold Standard? Sounds good to some of us! Social media? It’s the savior we’ve been waiting for! Going off the grid? Bound to work! Transhumanism? Can’t fail! Big Data? There’s NO WAY that could possibly cause more problems than it solves!
Confidence in our existing institutions is so low we’re one step away from cults based on Saturday morning cartoons. In an environment where Mitt Romney was a serious candidate for President, Burning Man is bound to look like a good political bet.
But not all of these potential political alternatives get the same amount of cultural traction. Some fizzle quickly (like the effort to draft a split presidential ticket composed of a Republican and a Democrat), while others gain a massive following seemingly overnight … like Occupy. Some have staying power, others don’t.
No one explanation will explain why, but one commonality does stand out: the political alternatives that gain excitement and support, particularly on what we can loosely term the “left” side of the political spectrum, are not “political” reforms at all but rather alternative forms of social order.
Occupy Wall Street, permaculture, hacker collectives … these things are not trying to patch the holes in the existing political order, fix it where it’s broken, or develop incremental improvements. They’re imagining a whole different way to organize a society, right here, right now.
That inspires the contemporary imagination in a way that one more patch on the leaky boat of liberal democracy doesn’t. It is the prerogative of the dreamers, the disaffected, and the young, to believe that one big, sweeping, change is not only possible but that it will solve just about everything.
Burning Man doesn’t explicitly promise anything like that. On the contrary, it’s well established (and patently obvious) that a “year round Burning Man” couldn’t be remotely self-sustaining. Burning Man as an event depends entirely upon materials and wealth brought in from outside. The “gift economy” isn’t an “economy” at all. Burning Man is not political precisely because it never pretends it could replace the existing political and economic structures we have in place.
But it is a transformational experience: it does offer a new axis around which to organize human interaction, which is the foundation of the social order.
Normally we’d call that a “cultural change agent” and see it (rightfully) as distinct from political change. But in this time and place, when we are looking towards new forms of social order as viable political alternatives, a cultural change agent like Burning Man looks an awful lot like a political movement. If in the 60s the “personal was political,” in the 21st century “the social is political.”
It’s easy to make the jump, at that point, from “burning has profoundly changed my life and the way I relate to people,” … which is absolutely true … to “an entirely new social order can be based on Burning Man” … which may or may not be true … to “Burning Man is the solution to our political crisis.” Which, I’m sorry, is almost certainly not true.
Burning Man feels like a political movement because in this era we are deeply disappointed by where conventional politics has taken us, and many people are looking to new forms of social order as replacements for politics.
But Burning Man fundamentally doesn’t go there. “Radical Inclusion” is simply not compatible with “building a political movement.” Radical Self-Expression doesn’t correspond with staying on message. None of Burning Man’s principles lend themselves to the kind of Machiavellian discipline that is required to build and enforce a political order.
And that’s the point: they’re better than that. “Burning Man” is not politics by other means. It just feels like it, because we all – from every side of the spectrum – wish our system was doing better, and we love what we’ve found here.
By all means, let Burning Man culture guide your political decisions, if you’re so inclined. But Burner culture does not translate neatly into a political movement. That’s one wish I’m afraid Burning Man can’t fulfill.

My son has been begging me to take him fishing for the past few weeks, so this weekend we made it out. We didn’t have much success, although the turtles were well fed. My daughter managed to hook a little water snake on her line which caused a few moments of drama. Thankfully, she kept a hold of her pole, and the hook came loose.
My son did hook his first fish, and get it mostly out of the water. Unfortunately, it threw the hook before he could get it on shore for a picture. No matter, he was pleased that he finally caught one!
On the way to the lake, we realized my daughter didn’t have a hat. All I had in the jeep was this Crimson Trace hat. She wanted to know what Crimson Trace was, so I explained they made pistols grips with lasers in them to help you quickly aim.
Satisfied with my answer and she replied, “Ok, I know how to make this look girly.”
I think she did a fine job.
Those are some darned cute kids, but I’m a little biased. I know the day is coming when they won’t want me around as much, but until then, I’m glad they like hanging out with their old man…….

If the registration authorities have internet access, you can also transfer the required data by using a qualified electronic signature.
Tip: Members of the family, who have lived in the same flat and are also moving with you, can all use one registration form.
You must re-register within one week of the move.
The competent body can request that you submit further documents, which serve as proof of the details. These can include:
- Personal identity document or passport
- Marriage or civil partnership certificate, divorce judgement.
- the identity cards of members of the family, if all are registered on one registration form

GOP has done real harm to stateWritten by Admin
To the Editor:
Look past the claims and misleading “facts” that the Republicans are putting out to see the reality. The net result from four years of Republican rule is a weaker middle class and a starved education system.
There is absolutely no evidence that a single job has been created in N.C. by the tax breaks to the rich. In fact there is no evidence that any of the Bush tax breaks of the past created any jobs.
The fact is that middle-class incomes are flat and we now will be paying more taxes than before. The so-called tax reform shifted taxes from income tax to new sales taxes. For example, now we have to pay sales tax on the labor charges to service our cars. What the Republicans have done is to shift and hide taxes for the middle class. Only the rich get real tax breaks.
Much has been made of the raises for teachers, but 1,500 teachers will not get raises under the last Gov. Pat McCrory proposal. The facts are that the total funding for education has been cut drastically. About 7,000 teaching positions have been cut, and the state university system has had cuts of more than 25 percent.
The Republicans claim they have appropriated more money for education, but that does not come close to equaling the funding from the previous sales tax that they cut or the federal funds they lost. The bottom line is that our standing on teacher pay and funding per student have dropped to the bottom of funding in the U.S.
Don’t be fooled by the claims. Look at the facts.

I'm sure plenty of people have seen the flowers added to ordinary pillows on the Eddie Ross blog that made them look so much more interesting. I love what he did but the flowers he used were a little pricey for my budget. I realized I could make flower pins myself and more to my liking for a fraction of the cost. Then I came across a tutorial with helpful instructions. Not only could I use these in my home, but I'd could make some to wear.
I made these first ...
(Ooops, this one's blurry)
After those, I thought ... What about a mother-of-pearl button in the middle?
Then, I pulled out my broken vintage jewelry. The picture doesn't do it justice, but this one with the vintage rhinestones is my favorite.
I also made one with vintage costume pearls but the little ones interruped my photo shoot. These are really great for Mother's Day. I need to pick one to wear and want to make one for my mom.

In a previous post I explained a concept I named ‘Interdisciplinary Intelligence Preparation of Operations’ and how this could be used to support military operations.
This post will concentrate on the use of OSINT to prepare and monitor HUMINT operations. I will not distinguish between military intelligence HUMINT and sources used by law enforcement agencies or journalists. In both cases, getting access to a source and the preparatory work needed for this are quite similar. Each HUMINT operation starts with the identification and selection of a potential source, thus finding someone in vicinity of our actual intelligence target, who is able to consistently report key intelligence. In the past, even the acquisition of a source was accomplished by HUMINT means. A case officer heard or knew of someone who might have access to specific information and he then talked his way around to finally approach the potential source.
With more and more information being available online, especially through social networks, this approach can be done virtually in some cases. Scavenging Facebook, VKontakte, Instagram, but also LinkedIn and Xing can prove very valuable when searching for potential sources. Of course, this always depends on how outgoing a potential source is on the internet. Sometimes an approach solely through social media could be sufficient, at other times this will not produce any results at all.
The following diagram in theory depicts the steps for OSINT support to a HUMINT case. This scheme is roughly based on the general intelligence cycle with its different stages. We have planning & preparation, collection, processing and evaluation and lastly dissemination covered. In our case the information will be disseminated to the HUMINT operation, which itself will start the whole intelligence cycle over again.
For a better understanding, I have created a fictive case (well, some of it is true…). Let us assume we are part of police special commission in Hamburg focused on the Albanian mafia. The recent shooting of an Albanian national and member of the local Hells Angels, with ties to the Albanian mafia, caused an upstir among different mafia groups operating in the area. So far, no information has emerged on the background of the shooting and existing police sources struggle to provide any intelligence on this topic. The Key Intelligence Questions (KIQ) are ‘What are the current activities of the Albanian mafia in Hamburg?’ and ‘Are there signs of an uprising conflict between different mafia groups?’
Therefore, our special commission has decided to attempt to win additional sources within this network of mafia groups. The higher leadership in a mafia network will not easily cooperate, so someone on the perimeter, with insight into the core, has to be found. Instead of the traditional approach on the streets, we will use OSINT to pave the way ahead of any physical approach.
This leaves us with our initial intelligence objective: Recruiting a HUMINT source within this network to answer the KIQs. Before we start our hunt for sources there are a couple of things we need to know. Who are the key players, do they have nicknames? We should have in-depth knowledge about our targets, e.g. is there target-specific behavior or a specific language used? Having this information gives us a baseline, which we can use to start our OSINT research. Our first step is to identify the known key players and their online profiles. Luckily, most of them are active on Facebook and Instagram and they like showing off their flamboyant life style. Clubbing, exotic cars, girls and champagne seem to be a vital part of the thug life in Hamburg.
This chart depicts the results of the OSINT research on the core network of Albanian mafia in Hamburg, as it is visible on Facebook and Instagram. Now that we have found our potential intelligence targets online, we can survey their activities and figure out who is linked to them. There are many people surrounding this core network, so how can we identify someone who might be worth recruiting as a HUMINT source?
While reading comments to the pictures that these guys post, we stumble upon an individual who constantly idolizes the mafia leadership and their henchman und who frequently asks when he will be a part of ‘the inner circle’. ‘Soon’ is the most common reply and over the course of time he seems to get annoyed. Furthermore, a quick check in police databases reveals that he was registered on minor crimes and was not yet linked to the Albanian mafia. Let us draw a quick conclusion: We have a person with a criminal record, who has contact to senior leadership of the Albanian mafia and is increasingly aggravated on the fact that he is not fully accepted in the organization yet. That sounds like a promising HUMINT source to me!
Keep in mind that this whole procedure, especially the actual HUMINT work done afterwards, takes time. No quick success will come from this. Once we have acquired the source and he is reporting from within the network, our OSINT work does not stop. Now is the time to evaluate the HUMINT information with OSINT. As we have already seen, our targets are very active on social media and this also applies to our source. If our source tells us he had met with one of the bosses on a specific date or time, it could be validated through a Facebook or Instagram post.
One day our source tells us, that in the aftermath of the shooting, the Albanian mafia leadership had met with Chechen mafia leadership the previous evening. At first, this seems unbelievable, as we had assumed that these two groups were currently opposed to each other. One of the Albanian leaders posted about this the following day on Facebook:
This picture not only shows the Captains of the Albanian mafia, but also senior leadership of the Chechen mafia and our HUMINT source. We now know the meeting took place and we have the statement of our source on the topics of the meeting. It is vital that the source does not know we are tracking him and others on social media. We would not want any of this to be staged to back his statements and purposely give us false leads.
This short and fictive case shows how to use OSINT to enable HUMINT and to support HUMINT while an operation is ongoing. Of course, these techniques could also be applied by military HUMINT as well as journalists, as long as the targets and the potential sources are able to be located online.
OSINT supporting HUMINT: Another example of ‘Interdisciplinary Intelligence Preparation of Operations’, I2PO in short.

Wordless Music, the concert series run by Ronen Givony when he is not overseeing the classical and new-music programming at Le Poisson Rouge, is devoted to showing fans of indie rock and contemporary classical music that the two genres have a common appeal. That argument no longer requires special pleading, partly because Mr. Givony’s thoughtful juxtapositions have made the point so persuasively but also because so many young composers (and some of their elders) draw freely on both their classical and pop antecedents.

What is MSAA?
In order for assistive technologies (AT) to convey meaningful information to users about an application's user interface, the AT first must be able to access that information from the application. Microsoft's solution to this problem is Microsoft® Active Accessibility® (MSAA), which has been available as an add-on since Windows® 95 and built into subsequent Windows® releases. MSAA is a technology that provides a standard, consistent mechanism for exchanging information between applications and assistive technologies. For example, MSAA allows applications to expose screen readers to the type, name, location, and current state of all objects and notifies screen readers of any Windows event that leads to a user interface change.
Although it is not the only way for an application to communicate with assistive technology, MSAA allows AT developers to support a broader variety of applications without custom programming for each one. The number of applications that support MSAA is growing, although there still are many popular applications that do not support it.
Microsoft Active Accessibility: Architecture presents the basic Active Accessibility architecture and spells out Active Accessibility Server Requirements.
Microsoft has developed a suite of tools that allows users to see the information that MSAA is exposing. Although these tools are intended for developers, they may be of interest to technical users as well. The suite, called Microsoft Active Accessibility 2.0 Software Development Kit Tools, includes the following three programs: Accessible Event Watcher, Accessible Explorer, and Inspect Objects.
With the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft unveiled a new accessibility model called UI Automation, which offers improvements over MSAA. The MSDN article UI Automation and Microsoft Active Accessibility provides information about the differences between the two.
A New Accessibility Model
Microsoft has signaled MSAA as no longer being the standard for making applications accessible. On Microsoft's Developer Network site, the software company announced:
"Microsoft Active Accessibility was the earlier solution for making applications accessible. Microsoft UI Automation is the new accessibility model for Microsoft Windows and is intended to address the needs of assistive technology products and automated testing tools. UI Automation offers many improvements over Active Accessibility."
Learn more about Microsoft UI Automation at Microsoft's MSDN site under the article UI Automation and Microsoft Active Accessibility.

Arsene Wenger insists it is “vital” that Arsenal avoid finishing in fourth place this season. The Gunners, who have three games left to play, current sit in third in the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester United and a point behind second-placed Manchester City, who both only have two matches remaining.
And Wenger has warned that the club face ‘dramatic consequences’ if they fail to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.
“It’s very important for your season preparations not to have that kind of stress over your head from the first day you start again, it’s vital,” said Wenger.
“We know what it means and we know it’s always tricky because you can play against teams who are in the middle of their championship when you are in preparation.
“The consequences are always dramatic if you don’t qualify. It is the pressure of not qualifying that is massive.
“What is even more important now is that the international competitions force you most of the time to start the new season without your players.
“You cannot give them a long enough rest when they have played international games. If we give Sanchez four weeks’ holiday (after the Copa America) he won’t be back till July 21 so he will not be available for a play-off.”
After finishing fourth last year, Arsenal needed to beat Fenerbahce in the play-offs in order to reach this season’s Champions League group stage.
And while the Gunners eased through with a 5-0 aggregate victory, Wenger believes the previous play-off tie against Udinese in 2011 attributed to his side’s 8-2 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
“The clash against Udinese [in 2011] was most stressful because you saw afterwards they had a very strong team. It contributed to our bad result at Old Trafford three days later,” said the Arsenal manager.
“When you qualify at Udinese and three days later have to go to Old Trafford with exactly the same focus, you have more chance to lose the game than to win it so sometimes you pay the price in the Premier League.
“A play-off means in pre-season training you have to focus, you are already thinking about that day.”

How High Heels Can Negatively Affect The Feet
There are many women who enjoy wearing high heels despite knowing foot pain may develop from wearing these specific type of shoes. Research has shown that when the heel is high, the arch in the foot may become inflamed and this may typically cause pain and discomfort. If high heels are worn on a frequent basis, the toes may undergo stress, and this may possibly cause corns and calluses to develop. The likelihood of incurring a fall may increase as a result of the line of gravity being altered by the height of the heel. There are several ways to enjoy wearing high heels while keeping your feet as comfortable as possible. These may include slipping off your shoes at an appropriate time and performing gentle stretching exercises, including pointing, flexing and rolling your ankles. Additionally, circulation in the feet may be increased by wiggling the toes. Your feet may benefit by wearing shoes that are more comfortable the following day, which may allow the foot muscles to rest. Please speak to a podiatrist if you would like additional information concerning the dangers of wearing high heels.
High heels have a history of causing foot and ankle problems. If you have any concerns about your feet or ankles, contact one of our podiatrists from Foot & Ankle Specialists of Nevada. Our Doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Effects of High Heels on the Feet
High heels are popular shoes among women because of their many styles and societal appeal. Despite this, high heels can still cause many health problems if worn too frequently.
Which Parts of My Body Will Be Affected by High Heels?
- Ankle Joints
- Achilles Tendon – May shorten and stiffen with prolonged wear
- Balls of the Feet
- Knees – Heels cause the knees to bend constantly, creating stress on them
- Back – They decrease the spine’s ability to absorb shock, which may lead to back pain. The vertebrae of the lower back may compress.
What Kinds of Foot Problems Can Develop from Wearing High Heels?
- Morton’s Neuroma
- Plantar Fasciitis
How Can I Still Wear High Heels and Maintain Foot Health?
If you want to wear high heeled shoes, make sure that you are not wearing them every day, as this will help prevent long term physical problems. Try wearing thicker heels as opposed to stilettos to distribute weight more evenly across the feet. Always make sure you are wearing the proper shoes for the right occasion, such as sneakers for exercising. If you walk to work, try carrying your heels with you and changing into them once you arrive at work. Adding inserts to your heels can help cushion your feet and absorb shock. Full foot inserts or metatarsal pads are available.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our offices located in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada . We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.

Q: "How much of a goal is it for the team to move up in the draft?" - DEVINE: "I think like a lot of teams we’d like to move up"
Oh gee, well maybe you should have thought about that when you made that RIDICULOUS AND FAILED PUSH FOR THE PLAYOFFS AND BLEW A TOP-5 DRAFT PICK FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!!! This franchise is off it's rocker!
@GregAntilla Management didn't make a push.
They fired the coach, promoted an internal interim coach with no NHL head coaching experience, and then sold at the deadline, including trading away the team captain for nothing that helped the NHL roster immediately.
The only thing that management didn't do was keep Ruff through the entire season or tradee more guys (namely Miller as Vanek was hurt a lot in the second half of the season).
You can't blame the franchise because the players and coaching staff didn't quit.
Point is, they were near the bottom of the standings at the halfway mark (or even with just a few weeks to go) for the past 3 seasons, then "tried hard" and wound up either getting bounced in the first round or missing the playoffs in 9th or 10th place, screwing themselves out of very high draft picks. Then they talk about wishing they could improve in the draft. One of these things is not like the othhhheerrrrrr......
@JimBobv2 This year's draft is deep, but the cream of the crop is still in the Top 5 range. It's comical to see them squirm and bemoan not being able to move up when they were right where they needed to be with only a couple weeks remaining, then blew it. You say it's hard to stink that bad, well they did exactly that this season. Watching them "push for 10th" or wherever the hell they finished was like watching a car accident happen and yelling "STOPPPPPP! PLEASE OF THE LOVE OF GOD STOP!"
As far as them trying to stink now, no, they won't. They'll "try hard". We're going to suffer through 3 to 5 seasons of excruciating middle of the road hockey.
Wake me up when they actually make it to the second round of the playoffs.
@GregAntilla Top 5 vs Top 3 can be very different depending on the year.
Heck, there can be huge dropoffs after 1 or 2 as well.
Look at last year. I think most people saw a big dropoff from Galchenyuk at 3 and Reinhart at 4.
The same could be said after RNH, Landeskog, & Huberdeau in 2011.
Strome at 5 is so highly thought of there are people on the Island saying he could be trade bait to land Ryan Miller!
In 2010, there was a huge dropoff after Taylor vs Tyler.
In 2009, there was a sizable drop after Tavares & Hedman.
So, Top 5 doesn't mean much if the top of the draft isn't deep. The key is to get into the blue chip zone.
In Kane's draft year, that was just #1.
Van Riemsdyk went 2 (already traded away), Turris went 3 (already traded away), Hickey went 4 (looking like a bust), and Alzner went 5 (good defensive defenseman, but not an impact player).
I'd rather have the 8th pick this year than the 2nd through 5th picks in 2007.
2006 was the last draft that really went 5 deep at the top with Erik Johnson, Jordan Staal, Jonathan Toews, Nicklas Backstrom, and Phil Kessel. Although, three of the five have been traded.
And it still stands that it's hard to stink that bad. Players and coaches won't quit. Other teams will stink. And sometimes luck is on your side.
You have to try really hard to stink bad enough to pick at the top. Maybe the Sabres are going to try that now after not trying to in the past.
We shall see......
@JimBobv2 What you're doing is arguing against what I said by looking at the final results. If you'll note, I said they were in the running for high draft picks near the MIDDLE of the season, and even a bit afterwards (they were near the bottom with just a couple weeks to go this year). If they had simply maintained their pace, they would have stayed within the goldilocks zone for high picks. THAT is what I'm saying. Instead, they "tried hard" and wound up with nothing, and as a result you see a team that could have had more weapons in it's arsenal, but doesn't. I don't know how much more simpler I can explain this... you're a bad team, you know you're not championship caliber, you can either keep doing what you're doing and get a couple potential star players that will make you better in the years to come, OR, you could make an ill-advised run and get nothing. One hand is something, the other hand is nothing... which hand do you pick? It's THAT simple. Something or nothing, pick one.
Also, if you'll note, I said Top-5, not Top-3.
"Getting MacKinnon (or Jones or Drouin or Barkov) is meaningless "suffering" if the right team isn't put together." - And putting the right team together without those critically important star/superstar players is meaningless. The Blackhawks are the right team, but don't tell me they would have won 2 Cups in the last 4 years without Kane and Toews. And guess what they were? Top-3 picks. Interesting...
As far as Regier goes, you won't get any arguments there from me.
@GregAntilla In 2010-11 they finished 34 pts ahead of the Oilers who held the first pick and 24 pts ahead of Florida that held the third pick.
It is completely unreasonable to point to that season as one that they "just missed a top pick".
In 2011-12, they finished 24 pts ahead of Columbus who had the worst record in the league and 11 pts ahead of Montreal that picked 3rd.
They had somewhat of a chance. But, they would have had to out terrible 9 other teams to get into the top 3. That's not as easy as you want to make it out to be.
Even this year, with the shortened 48 game season, they finished 12 pts ahead of Florida who had the worst record.
I just think you are underestimating how incompetent a GM has to be or how messed up a franchise has to be to get the top picks.
This team continues to be just good enough to not get good.
The good news is that if you have a good GM, you don't need top 3 picks carrying the mail for you.
Anaheim has been carried by Getzlaf and Perry who were second half of the first round picks in 2003. Sure, they have Bobby Ryan who was a top pick, but he isn't the straw that stirs the drink.
Detroit has been carried by Datsyuk & Zetterberg (and Lindstrom before that) who were later round picks.
Philly has been consistently good without JVR giving them a ton.
The Sabres weren't guaranteed a cup after drafting Bert #1 nor Turgeon #1.
Getting MacKinnon (or Jones or Drouin or Barkov) is meaningless "suffering" if the right team isn't put together.
I'm less worried about the Sabres tanking for a top pick or two than I am about the pretty much proven fact that Regier doesn't have the blueprint to build a team that can get a Cup.
@JimBobv2 "How did a team that made the playoffs three years ago just miss out on a high pick?" - If you recall, they were actually struggling and near the bottom of the conference at the halfway point of that season, which is why I include that season with the following two when I reference having a shot at draft picks. Duh, hellllllooooooo?
"How did a team that just missed the playoffs two years ago just miss a high pick?" - Alright, now you're just being silly. See the above comment.
As far as the players and coaches goes, yes, you are arguing semantics. You seemed to latch onto the word "they" and just wouldn't let it go, which as a result caused you to completely miss the point of my post. I don't know why you can't decipher by simple point... I mean, you show brilliant flashes of understanding it by talking about "Regier not tanking"... but then you keep falling back on this "coaches and players" thing. Just take the comment for crips sakes.
@GregAntilla How did a team that made the playoffs three years ago just miss out on a high pick?
How did a team that just missed the playoffs two years ago just miss a high pick?
This year it was there for the taking. I can't blame the coaches and players for trying. I can blame Regier for not dealing Miller and Vanek and doing everything he could to tank.
And as far as the semantics go, it's ridiculous to expect the coaches and players to quit to get good draft picks.
In the immortal words of Herm Edwards "You play to win the game. HELLO!!!"
@JimBobv2 Players, coaches, management. I really don't care. This is arguing semantics. My point was they had an opportunity to get sky high draft picks and potentially become the next talent-stacked team, but they blew it. They more or less followed the Toronto Maple Leafs recipe for failure: finish too low for the playoffs, too high for draft picks. And now, hey... we ARE the new Toronto Maple Leafs. What a joke.
@GregAntilla Chicago was built on high picks due to the utter incompetence of Dollar Bill Wirtz's ownership. They would still be floundering if he hadn't passed away and Rocky hadn't taken over control of the team.
The Sabres were just out of the playoffs two years ago because they thought they could compete going into the season with the high of the new Pegula ownership and the UFA signings they made. That team was nowhere near tank mode.
This past season management missed a golden opportunity to bottom out by not moving Miller, Vanek, and Ott at the deadline for picks and prospects.
But that isn't on the players and coaches.
You can't ask the players and coaches to tank.
If that is what management wants, they need to get rid of the veterans that can make the team too good to tank.
They didn't do that.
@JimBobv2 With all due respect, bullshit. Don't tell me Pittsburgh and Chicago built dream teams by trying hard but failing. Don't tell me that teams can't decide to look at the bigger picture and throw games knowing that they'll be a better team for it if they can draft a star player rather than miss the playoffs by 2 or 3 points or get bounced in one round.
The fact remains, they had a shot at drafting in the Top-5 for three years in a row, but blew it. One first round exit and two no-shows, with ZERO star players drafted as a result. 3 golden opportunities, 3 wasted "trying hard".
@GregAntilla Who is the "they" you are talking about?
Management can't tell the coaches and players to tank.
It's not like they bought at the deadline the past two seasons to try and make the playoffs and came up short.

2001 Brown Brothers Tarrango
Notes sourced from Brown Brothers.
Tarrango is a unique Australian grape variety, bred by CSIRO scientists in 1965 by crossing the Portuguese red grape variety Touriga with the versatile white grape Sultana. It was developed specifically to produce a light, fresh red wine ideal for summer drinking in the many countries with warm to hot summers. Named after the tiny township of Tarrango in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria, where it was designed to thrive, the vines bear generous crops that ripen late and maintain a fresh acidity and soft grapey flavour. The Brown family has been making wines from Tarrango since 1980. In recent years however, a small amount of fruit has been fermented by the carbonic maceration technique, as practiced in Beaujolais and other areas in southern France, where berries are allowed to ferment whole and uncrushed. This contributes added complexity and flavour to the final wine.
The Tarrango grapes used to make this wine were grown in Victoria. The fruit was harvested in parcels from late February until mid April 2001 at a range of baumé levels from 11.3° to 13.1°. Approximately twelve percent of the fruit underwent carbonic maceration. It was then blended with other parcels and bottled soon after fermentation was completed with an alcohol of 13.0%, a pH of 3.54 and an acid level of 5.7 gr/l.
A delicate, light-bodied red wine that should be served lightly chilled. The wine is a pale cherry red colour with fresh, aromatic aromas of ripe cherries and juicy strawberries. These delicious aromas are echoed on the palate, which finishes with a cleansing, dry, fresh finish. Lightly chilled, it makes the perfect wine to sip on, either as an aperitif or to accompany a relaxing al fresco lunch. To truly appreciate this light, fresh, flavoursome red wine it should be enjoyed within 2 years of vintage.

October is nearly over, but for me that’s a plus! November has always been my favourite month, and why? Well it’s my birthday Month, and I am so excited to turn 20! But this month has been amazing for products! And it’s also been a month that I feel a lot has changed for me, one being improving my makeup skills. This post is being used to showcase some of my favourite products, that I’ve used this October!
Note; If you see a product you’d like a full review on, let me know in the comment section!
Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour – Fire Starter
You can never go wrong with a liquid lip! Or so I thought you could! I have tried some popular matte liquid lipsticks such as Jeffree Star, Sleek, Primark. But when this matte liquid lipstick came out. Oh my god! I saw the advertisement with the twins who showed how it was kiss proof, drink proof etc, and I just needed to try it! Rimmel has been a brand I’ve had trust in, since I started using makeup at 12, and even my mum only trusts Rimmel as a good brand (alongside Clinique but hey).
The liquid lip dries matte and nicely, and compared to Jeffree Star is not suffocating, and allows my lips to breathe. It is transfer proof, and lasts all day! I can’t wait to try more colours!
SEVENTEEN Define and Conquer Contour Kit!
I am not a big one for contouring. Having a round face and not being the best at makeup, I never really tried, or found it extremely hard to blend. Receiving this for Christmas last year, I decided this month to fork it out! Well, no regrets!
Including 2 powders, an illuminating powder and a contour powder, I was excited to try! The product is extremely light while pigmented. You can literally put your brush in the product and get it full of product. It’s so easy to blend, and I’m seriously impressed. Seventeen is a brand that is very under-rated and the prices are semi-affordable. The one downside is the illuminating powder..isn’t very illuminating? It feels more like a matte powder to put over foundation as it doesn’t have a glow, but still very pigmented.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer – Fair 1
This is my first FAVOURITE product, that is actually running out and I’m so sad. The lasting perfection concealer is an actual god-send, and how I went through my teenage years without I don’t know! I only started using this concealer in September, and the coverage is AMAZING. I do wish Fair 1 was a little lighter, and sometimes I feel it oxodises into an orangey tone, but on a good day, it’s super great and I am definitely going to repurchase.
Makeup Revolution Ultra Base Corrector Palette [Cream]
Makeup Revolution never cease to amaze me. Their products are flawless, and make the most epic drugstore brand out there. This corrector palette allows me to hide my blemishes and flaws the minute I pat them on. As you can see from the picture, it can get slightly messy due to it being cream, but the products are very pigmented. I put the creams on under my foundation, except for the highlighter balm which I sometimes put under my concealer to give it an illuminating feel. However with corrector palettes, I wish they included an insert on what colours to use where, as I constantly forget, and have to give it a google!
Soph X Revolution Eyeshadow Palette
You can read my full review of this product here. So, the Soph X palette is my go to palette. As I said, Makeup Revolution constantly up their game, and this collab with SophDoesNails (if you don’t watch her videos, you need to) is amazing. The palette is everything I LOVE and more. The colours are suited to nice Autumnal looks, which helps this October, and the colour names are just as cute!
Primark High Pigment Blush – Desire.
My biggest endeavour, is finding a pale enough blush to not make me look like a clown. When I was younger, I used to wear a ton of blush. I would cake my face in it, and here’s the reason why. Being a sickly child, I never had any pigment or colour in my face, and I didn’t know what bronzer even was, so I would wear a lot of blush (and also told people I was constantly boiling..) to hide the fact I was pale and sick. But I would wear Clinique’s coral peach blush, and looking back, I looked like a clown. So I decided to go on a journey to find a nice blush, that compliments my skin.
People seem to underestimate Primark makeup, but it’s so affordable and great, why would you? I saw this blush while there, and thought it has a great subtle pink colour, and looks like it would be perfect for me. And it is! It’s high pigmented (DUH!) but it’s also blendable, and you literally need the tiniest dip of the brush to get product. The fallout is high, but if it’s high pigment, what do you expect?
So these are my October favourites. And it’s my birthday next month, so I’ll hopefully get some top ups of my favourites. If you have any recommended products, leave them below! Or if you want a full review of any of these products, just ask below!

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of all the ice storms that hit Texas, but if you haven’t
Ice storms have hit Texas.
(good…now your informed ha!)
Since I work in a hospital, I don’t get snow (or ice) days, ever. And this really stinks.
Driving on ice is pretty much terrifying, especially because Texans don’t do it too often. There are always people sliding around and you really hope and pray that you don’t hit someone.
When I was driving the other night, I actually spun out on the freeway trying to avoid an accident! It was SUPER scary! Thankfully I didn’t hit anyone, and no one else hit me. But it almost made me turn around during my commute haha!
I’m ready for these storms to be over (but I’m not quite ready for the hot, Texas summer yet).

“I have reviewed this agreement that the president reached with the Republican leaders,” Mr. Clinton told reporters who assembled quickly for the hastily called remarks. “The agreement taken as a whole is, I believe, the best bipartisan agreement we can reach to help the most Americans.”
The image on the television screen – of Mr. Clinton at the White House, behind the official podium – had a time-warp quality to it....after Mr. Clinton began taking questions, the current president excused himself, saying that his wife, Michelle, expected Mr. Obama’s presence at one of the many holiday parties that presidents host during the month of December.
Sigh. And most of us thought Hillary would be the next Clinton running the country.
Headline 2 comes from the UKIndependent:
Doctors shocked by spread of swine flu – and its severity
I probably had it in 1968, and again had a mild case last year, as did Lolo, so we're safe. But those who didn't have it last year might have a nasty illness.
and then there is this report:
Global Warming Scaremongers Sign Petition Banning Dihydrogen Monoxide
youtube video HERE.
and if it sounds familiar, it's because Penn and Teller already did a skit on that chemical

Two posts today, please scoll down to see what's happening at AiFactory!Hello Softpencil's fans, I picked up a bunch of these handy notepads from the $1 bins at Michaels.
Then, I decided to give it a new look! I used this week's feature Softpencil's image called Girl on a Cupcake. And the theme is shades of pink and pearls.
Since, I will keep this sweet notepad in my purse... I kept the embellishment to a minimal. I used Bazzill, Bazzill bling cs, Making memories flutter paper pad. I colored the image with Copics markers. I even added LIQUID PEARLS on her hair. I used frosted lace stickler for the cupcake. Then of course, we need some pearls.
That's it for me. Please visit the other Softpencil DT's blog!
Oh yes, don't forget... the Softpencil's challenge is still going on at PCP, the winner will receive a $10 voucher from Elizabeth.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) purchased a 243- acre property along two miles of the Flathead River in 2009. The high-quality, riparian riverbank has outstanding habitat values for both fish and wildlife. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), which funded the acquisition to mitigate fisheries impacts of Hungry Horse Dam, holds a perpetual conservation easement on the property. Cap and Bonnie Ingham sold the property to FWP at a significantly lower price than the appraised value, making this project feasible and a great public value.

Building a staging environment on Heroku is pretty straightforward, especially now they’ve released their new ‘fork’ feature.
To fork your app and ensure that all your assets, environmental variables, and Postgres databases are cloned, simply run:
heroku fork -a yourapp yourapp-staging
I also recommend automatically deploying the staging server whenever you push to master. This is convenient, as it means you have a up-to-date version of your app always running. Your can test on staging, and then deploy production a couple of times a day.
To automate staging deploys follow the instructions on the github-heroku-pusher project. A GitHub webhook POSTs to your deploy server, which will then deploy your staging environment in the background.

Special courts to hear hate cases, Koome reveals
Special courts will be established to prosecute hate speech suspects as the country prepares for the 2022 General Election, Chief Justice Martha Koome said yesterday.
Speaking during a meeting of a multi-agency team formed to ensure next year’s elections are peaceful and credible, Koome said, the special courts will be in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru.
“If need be, the special courts will be extended to other places that will be deemed hotspots, to deal with issues of hate speech,” said Koome.
Yesterday, the government also warned that it will gather evidence that can be used to block politicians spreading hate from running for elective positions or seeking public service appointments.
The evidence will be forwarded to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for action.
The tough measures have been developed by the multi-agency team comprising of officials from the ministries of Interior, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), National Treasury, the Attorney General’s office, the Inspector General of Police office, IEBC, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and the Communications Authority of Kenya.
The measures come at a time when political temperatures are rising as campaigns for next year’s election gather pace.
The government has mapped out regions considered possible violence hotspots.
They include parts of the North Rift, Marsabit, Isiolo, Samburu, Nakuru and Laikipia counties and Nairobi slums.
NCIC has also warned that there is a rise in cases of politicians spreading hate messages, particularly using social media, against certain communities.
Election candidates are also on the spot for hiring armies of social media warriors for propaganda purposes. NCIC has said this can lead to tensions and even violence.
Yesterday, the multi-agency team chaired by Koome cautioned politicians against incitement and urged Kenyans to stand against the vice regardless of their political affiliation.
The team established a technical committee to explore ways of identifying and filling gaps in preparations towards the elections and report back in 10 days.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i said leaders will be held personally responsible for the actions of their supporters during the campaigns and voting.
On Saturday, a group of youths barricaded Deputy President William Ruto’s motorcade while he was on a campaign tour of Busia County.
“We will be presenting to the relevant agencies evidence and information we have of individual political actors who are engaged in incitement and mobilising groups of people to disrupt meetings and they should take individual responsibility,” Matiang’i said.
He said the government was closely monitoring the heightened political activities to ensure law and order prevails.
Matiang’i said the government was ready to support IEBC and other agencies involved in elections to ensure they are free, fair, peaceful, credible and transparent.
“We will be adding 5,500 police officers from college and 320 specially trained cadet officers who will beef up the work of IEBC going into the elections,” he said.
Adding: “I want to assure Kenyans there is nothing to fear, we are ready to provide security.
We have the requisite resources and the capacities we need to ensure the country remains peaceful during the election season.”
Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho also made an assurance that the elections will be credible.
“We have a multi-agency forum, which has now formed a special technical team that will guide electoral stakeholders on the road map leading to the 2022 elections.
We can assure Kenyans that the next elections will be secure, safe and they will be conducted in a peaceful environment,” said Kibicho.
The CJ further told the meeting that given the expectation of a rise in the number of election disputes after the 2022 polls, the Judiciary Committee on Elections (JCE) was planning to train 120 judges, 480 magistrates and 400 courts staff to handle the cases.
She directed judges and magistrates that have pending 2017 election petitions to deliver judgments in the next 90 days.
IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said that as of yesterday, the commission had registered 760,000 new voters and raised concern about the low voter registration turnout.
“We have only registered 760,000 plus against our target of 4.5 million by end of the third week.
“This is a very low turnout but we expect that Kenyans who have the habit of last minute rush will take this opportunity to register,” said Chebukati.
The 30 days Mass Voter Registration will be ending on November 2. The commission had hoped to enlist at least 6.2 million new voters.

MLM is relatively new. For some, it is a helping hand for sheer survival during tough times. Keep focus and work hard to bring in some profits.
Sometimes, network marketing gurus is turned into a vicious sport where the person with the most sign ups is the winner. Think about how you can help people, and go from there.
In MLM, it is easy to get pulled into the numbers game and focus on the quantity of prospects when in truth your success depends on the quality of your leads. You need dedicated workers who can create the down-lines that will feed profits to you both.
Do not let your mistakes keep you down, learn from them and move on. Keep inventory of your shortcomings and analyze why they exist. Taking the time to analyze your mistakes helps you get rid of the techniques that do not work and identify those that do.
Social networking sites are a great starting point for multi-level marketing, until such time as you can establish your own website. You can establish your own content-rich blog and social network identity to increase the success of your multilevel marketing campaign. Your network will increase together with your online presence. Remember a well designed and active blog helps too.
Make a vision board so you can focus on the goals of your network marketing degree. Think of what you wish to achieve, specifically. Do you wish to purchase material things such as a car, boat or house?
When planning your weekly schedule, include some time for family and friends, so you can escape from the stress of your job and maintain healthy relationships. Of course, if you are starting a new network marketing prospecting tools business, it may take up a good portion of your time. As the business emerges from the incubation phase, though, you should have more free time for your family.
Encourage your contacts to liberally express their views, and listen closely to what they have to say. Learning as much as you can about your customers through social media, then tailoring your marketing approach, will mean a better chance of making the sale. As you increase your knowledge of what they need and want, you boost your chances of marketing products they will purchase.
The financial experts agree that the calculation you should be using is your monthly spending times nine, the total being what you need to have on hand in case of emergency. Participating in MLM can give you that money plus much more!
Continue using successful strategies and weed out the programs that aren’t working. When developing your MLM campaign, emulate leaders who have been successful. Follow their success and begin to develop the same successful attitude and approach. Repeating their successes will help you improve your skills. Not only should we learn from our mistakes, but also from the successes of others.
If you find multi-level marketing tedious, you can hire an outside firm to do it for you. This is an especially good option if you don’t have the time or workforce to handle these issues yourself. You can use the time you gain by outsourcing for more important business matters and still get a good return on your advertising.
You can use the power of the Internet to use videos to drive traffic to the network marketing companies sites you have. Videos are very dynamic and memorable, and their long-term cost is limited to hosting fees.
Go outside of the box when writing content that will be written for ebooks, seminars or your own network marketing cartoon site. Comprehensively cover everything!
As you can see, there are many ways you can market your products or ideas. There are always going to be people coming on the Internet to sell their new product or idea. Those who make use of the proven ideas in this article will find the most success.

In this technical overview blog, I will cover some of the new features packed into the latest release of vRealize Network Insight that will enhance your visibility into your virtual and physical multi-cloud infrastructure. If you missed our announcement blog for vRealize Network Insight 6.7, make sure to check it out!
Let’s start things off by taking a look at the additional support added for IPv6 when it comes to vRealize Network Insight deployment, Flow Visibility, and VM to VM Paths. When deploying vRealize Network Insight 6.7, you now have the option to deploy the Platform and Collector virtual appliances using IPv4, IPv6, and IPv6 Dual-Stack. These are all supported in a single node or cluster node deployment. Figures 1 & 2 below, show an example of deploying vRealize Network Insight using IPv6 and IPv6 Dual-Stack.
You can also use IPv6 addresses when adding data sources, configuring Identity and Access Management, and Alerts and Notifications (SMTP and SNMP Trap Destination).
When viewing various entities in vRealize Network Insight 6.7, or searching for data using the elastic search engine you can now view or query via IPv6 addresses. In Figure 3 below, you will see an example of viewing the network addresses for a specific host.
We can also now view IPv6 addresses when looking at various details such as Interfaces, BGP Neighbors, and much more in this example shown in figure 4 below of an NSX-T Router.
If you have already upgraded to vRealize Network Insight 6.7, you can use these various queries below in Figure 5 to start viewing IPv6 support in your multi-cloud infrastructure.
Last but not least, when it comes to IPv6 Support in vRealize Network Insight, we have also added support to view VM to VM paths using IPv6 Addresses, as seen in figure 6 below.
As you can see, the enhanced support for IPv6 visibility in vRealize Network Insight 6.7 encompasses a wealth of information, especially if you are running IPv6 within your infrastructure. You can also use IPv6 to create and discover applications withing the Application Dashboard in vRealize Network Insight.
HCX Networking Support in vRealize Network Insight 6.7
While vRealize Network Insight has supported integration with VMware HCX for some time now, we have introduced new features around HCX visibility in vRealize Network Insight Cloud 6.7.0 that I will dive into in this section of the technical overview.
First up, you will notice a new HCX Manager Dashboard that gives you an excellent overview and summary of each HCX deployment. This centralized view helps you keep an eye on how your HCX infrastructure and appliances are performing, which is great when you are performing application migrations. In Figure 7 below, you will notice that the new dashboard provides you with an overall summary and typologies of the interconnect and the network extension.
What I like about the new HCX Dashboard is that you can quickly access and view any alerts, flows, and detailed metrics, including Appliance VM and Host metrics, Tunnel metrics, and Appliance VM Network Utilization metrics, using the links found at the top of the new dashboard. When viewing these metrics in vRealize Network Insight Cloud, you will notice that you can also set threshold alerts for both the HCX Appliances and HCX Tunnels as part of the new supported alerts added in this release.
When viewing flows within the HCX Dashboard, you will also find detailed flows for the HCX Manager, Service Mesh, and Layer 2 Extensions that provide visibility into the overall performance of your HCX deployments, as seen below.
Last but not least, regarding additional support for VMware HCX, we have added Guided Network Troubleshooting support to assist you in troubleshooting issues within your HCX infrastructure quickly, as seen in Figure 14 below.
Additional New Features
Some other key new features that I want to call out that are included in vRealize Network Insight 6.7 are as follows:
- Support for Cisco ACI Contracts in the Network Map Path Mapping
- Dropped flow alerts for Palo Alto Networks Firewalls and Checkpoint Firewalls
- vRNI In Product Learning to help guide you through various use cases in your environment
- vRNI Federation UI/UX enhancements
As you can see, this release is packed full of new features to enhance visibility and troubleshooting of your multi-cloud infrastructure both in the overlay and underlay. If you want to read more about some of the new features included, check out the vRealize Network Insight 6.7 Release Notes or reach out to your VMware account team and request a live demo! To learn more about vRealize Network Insight, make sure to visit the product webpage, where you can request a free trial of vRealize Network Insight 6.7

At the moment, there are ways on TikTok that will allow you to buy tiktok likes instant and broaden your audience and get fresh visibility. TikTok started experimenting with advertisements on its stage in January of this year. A direct result of this was the April 2019 introduction of the managed services stage. At the time of writing this article, TikTok advertising were not accessible in the majority of states in the United States.
All of the advertisements that are viewable on TikTok are in these short-form video formats. Given that TikTok is a stage filled with short-form films, it makes only sense that some advertisements would be seen to consumers. There are three distinct versions of the TikTok commercials that you may follow, and they are as follows:
At the moment, the targeting properties are just a minor standard. It is possible to target your audience based on factors such as age, gender, and location. The geo-targeting feature allows you to target certain countries inside the United States. Additionally, you may anticipate to learn about other targeting choices in the future, such as attention and behavioral targeting.
The following are the four different types of TikTok commercials that are currently available:
Are the narrative adverts on Instagram anything you’ve come across before? All of them are in full-screen mode, and they are often very useful. If it is something that you are interested in, you will almost probably prefer the native advertisements on TikTok. With such adverts, you have the option of adding an external link to a website and to buy tiktok likes instant.
To use this commercial, you must choose the length of your video, which may range from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. Because it will be shown on the “For You” page of your desired audience’s website, you must create a vertical format video for it. You may include a call to action, such as a link to a software download or a website link to visit.
Advertisements for the Hashtag Challenge
On TikTok, hashtag fights are a common occurrence. As a result, it makes sense to generate adverts in this specific manner. To do this, you can consider encouraging the participants in your desired audience, who are TikTok users, to participate in a challenge that is centered on your brand or a number of your items.
TikTok users like to join in conversation rather than just holding a passive position. Accordingly, you can expect to see high levels of interaction if you create the perfect hashtag roadblock advertising campaign for your brand. These advertising are active for seven days, and a TikTok representative is available to provide encouragement during the duration of the campaign.
Every time a user launches the TikTok application, the Brand Takeover advertising shows on the screen. It has a prominent position in their exhibition. An individual may be directed to a certain piece of content or be encouraged to visit your website by using this form of advertisement, for example.
Advertisements for brand takeovers are permitted on a class-by-class basis. This sort of advertising may be used by a single marketer to obtain a class each and every day. Because of the restricted accessibility, we predict that they will become the most expensive TikTok advertising ever created.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has been doing the rounds during the press coverage of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Recently Feige suggests that the MCU will likely no longer be organized by Phases post-Avengers 4. Feige then went on to say that it’s still a little too early for definitive description. Here’s what Feige had to say:
“I think it’s a little early to know what it’s going to look like, I think things are going to look very different at that point, but I think the early discussions we’ve had with James [Gunn] about Vol. 3 and beyond with what we’ll call the “Cosmic Universe” and the Guardian characters is very exciting. Which is why he signed up and we announced that even before Guardians Vol. 2 came out.”
Feige did go on to tell Fandango that we might be seeing Marvel’s cosmic characters in more prominent roles moving forward in the MCU. Here’s what Feige had to say to Fandango.
“As you know from the comics, there are so many places to go and so many more characters, and there are a few characters hinted at in the [end] tag scenes of Vol. 2. All of which could be potential to see and explore more in the new age following our big Avengers films.”
We don’t know what the future holds for the actors currently starring in the Marvel films, specifically Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. One way to deal with their potential exit would be to shift the focus of their cinematic universe away from Earth. Currently, there are a number of cosmic characters (a lot of which appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) who would be able to carry their own franchise.

American pottery design dating
The first and perhaps most important decorative technique used by Georgia Indians was the use of wooden paddle stamps with different designs carved on their surfaces.
Makers imparted the designs to the vessel surface by striking the soft, wet vessels with the carved paddles.
The earliest pottery in Georgia—and in the United States—is fiber-tempered, so called because it was made of a paste formed by mixing, or tempering, Spanish moss with clay.
This early pottery dates to perhaps 4,500 years ago.
The next period of Van Briggle Pottery that can be accurately dated are pieces marked with USA.
It is commonly accepted that Van Briggle Pottery marked USA was produced between 19.
Van Briggle Pottery produced in 1905 can be found marked with a wider variety of Roman numerals including V, X, VV, and VX.
With a basic knowledge of clay color and texture and bottom markings, approximate dating of Van Briggle Pottery can easily be determined.
Since the majority of collectors are interested in dating early examples of Van Briggle this discussion will focus on dating examples from the 1920s and earlier.
Van Briggle Pottery has the distinction of being one of the oldest companies still producing American art pottery to this day.
The production of contemporary art pottery by Van Briggle as well as the fact that the company did not maintain great consistency in its bottom markings can make it difficult for novice Van Briggle collectors to determine accurate dates of production.
In 1906 Van Briggle Pottery stopped using Roman numeral markings and for the first time added either Colorado Springs or Colo Springs to the bottom marks.

These ushers, who work at Leinster House on Kildare Street, in Dublin City, work as security guards in the parliament building and interact with the public. TheJournal.ie have reported that 19 of these ushers were sent on a self-defense courts in 2012. The Irish government paid $2,811 for the course for 19 members of staff.
A government spokesperson said the training was “designed for staff who may come in contact with aggression/confrontation from members of the public during the course of their work.”
In 2011 a visitor to Leinster House made their way through the entrance hall to the Dail (Parliament chamber) before being intercepted. These ushers are also sometimes assigned the duty of watching the public entrance to parliament on Kildare Street where they can come into contact with aggressive members of the public.
The self defense course taught “awareness and avoidance techniques,” how to understand fear and adrenaline, and “control of personal space.”
“Gracie Jiu Jitsu self defence and escape techniques against the most common attacks.”

The 28-year-old, Queens-born, Egyptian-American comedian Ramy Youssef is the creator of Ramy, a new semi-autobiographical Hulu series. A little more than a week ago, Youssef also premiered Feelings, his stand-up comedy special, on HBO.
On Ramy, Youssef plays a first-generation Egyptian-American named Ramy Hassan, who is on a “spiritual journey in his politically-divided New Jersey neighborhood.” As Hulu puts it, the show:
…explores the challenges of what it’s like being caught between a Muslim community that thinks life is a moral test and a millennial generation that thinks life has no consequences.
Even given the enormous diversity and originality of current TV, Ramy has the critics taking notice. Sopan Deb of The New York Times called it “quietly revolutionary”; in Rolling Stone, David Fear called it “a show about being a Muslim-American in which both of those words are given equal weight.” In Vulture, back in April, Gazelle Emami provided a glowing inside look at the making of Ramy, particularly its portrayal of the Muslim-American experience — from the looseness of hijabs to having sex during Ramadan.
Ramy, then, is also an experiment in domestic diplomacy; its very existence may increase inter-religious understanding within an American context. Yet what I would call the show’s global cognizance also makes it a trailblazer, an illustration of a type of cultural diplomacy the world could use right now.
When I think of Youssef, or when I catch one of his many media appearances, I can’t help but to compare his story to that of Ramy Essam, an Egyptian musician who, like many artists, is considered one of the main voices of the 2011 Egyptian revolution. Essam was tortured by the state and now lives mainly in Sweden: his homeland revoked his passport. The Arabic-speaking Youssef first gained national attention on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with this:
Youssef was also busy at the time with a recurring role on Mr. Robot alongside the star of that show, future Oscar-winner Rami Malek — also Egyptian American.
It’s also not lost on me that in 2017, after Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13769 — the Muslim Travel Ban — Hulu ordered the pilot that became Ramy. It premiered with 10 episodes; a second season for 2020 has already been ordered. (Spoiler alert: Season 2 will pick up from from where we left Ramy at the end of Season 1 — kissing his cousin on a city bridge over the Nile.)
The stories of these Ramys are distinct but related. Whereas Youssef’s parents are both Egyptian (meeting after separately immigrating to NYC), the mother of Ramy Hassan is Palestinian. The first season peaks with Hassan’s near-pilgrimage to Egypt in the hope of finding socio-religious clarity. The cast and crew traveled to Cairo to shoot the season’s final two episodes.
While skirting direct political discussions of Trump, current Egypt President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the 2011 revolution, Ramy does allude to them. Indeed, as Youssef told NPR’s Terry Gross, the show sticks to topics that he’s “uniquely qualified to talk about.” In this sense, you could say that Ramy has flaws in its treatment of female characters and sex; it can also fall flatter than the weaker bits in Youssef’s standup. But Ramy is brilliant in terms of multi-directional cultural diplomacy, for inasmuch as the show explicitly speaks to non-Muslims and non-Arabs in America, it attempts to serve Egyptian and Egyptian-American audiences as well. For example, the official plot summary of Episode 9 is in Franco-Arabic, untranslatable to English speakers by digital means:
ramy min amreeka! iz3yak ya bro! 3amel eh ya hbb? wa7eshni awi ya brence, wallahi. so pumped ur coming bro. haven’t seen u since we were 8!! a5bar new york eh ya basha?? and enta landing when? tell me all the flight infozzz, i’ll be there — whatsapp me habibi.
It turns out that this is made-up text from Ramy Hassan’s Egyptian cousin, who is picking him up at Cairo International Airport. No dark hidden code here, but rather an inside joke to Egyptian and Egyptian-American viewers. And in this sense, finally, Ramy is steeped in its Arab-ness; the cast includes Bahraini, Israeli Arab and Lebanese-Canadian actors, all reasonably solid in the Egyptian Arabic dialect. As for the exhaustion and trauma of a generation of Egyptian young people who fought a bloody revolution that has devolved back into dictatorship. Ramy gives them space, compassion and empathy.
Numerous Egyptians round out the cast, including Rosaline Elbay (Turkish Egyptian) and Shadi Alfons, who is recognizable from his work with master satirist Bassef Youssef and the Egyptian version of Saturday Night Live. Palestinian-American stand-up comic and writer Mohammed “Mo” Amer brings some of the biggest laughs as one of Ramy Hassan’s best friends in America. The show’s crew, too, is diverse: Palestinian-American artist-activist Cherien Dabis helmed four episodes in Season 1, while Egyptian producer-director Jehane Noujaim, known for the Oscar-nominated The Square (2013), directed the final two episodes of Season 1 (with script monitoring by the government omnipresent throughout).
Playing Ramy’s father is Amr Waked, an award-winning Egyptian actor known for his work in Syriana (2003) and Lucy (2014). Earlier this year, Waked tweeted that he cannot return to Egypt because he was sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison for speaking out against military court verdicts and mass trials. Waked was also kicked out of Egypt’s film union, so landing a role on an acclaimed new Hulu series is especially meaningful.
In February of this year, I wrote here on CFR that we should pay attention to Egypt. Since then, el-Sisi has met with Trump at the White House, and a national referendum to extend el-Sisi’s presidential powers into 2023 passed with almost 90% of the vote — if you don’t believe those widespread claims of vote-buying. In April, Waked and other Egyptian artists met with US lawmakers and voiced their opposition to tyranny in their homeland. In that meeting, Rep. Tom Malinowski said that the referendum:
…is a statement to the young people of the country: That none of you matter, that there is only one person who can hold power, only one generation that can hold power. It is wrong; it is stupid, and it is generally very, very self-defeating as we’ve seen throughout history.
Last month, attention swung to Egypt once most as host of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which is now ongoing; careful observers noted the impressive opening ceremony as human rights abuses and injustices go on and on.
If Ramy is not the best TV show ever, it is nonetheless strong in terms of its international collaborations and multi-directional outreach. Stimulating laughter as well as understanding across religious, cultural and international differences, it is one of the best responses to the dispiriting aftermath of the Arab Spring. This is why I believe Ramy is the future of cultural diplomacy — for the next generation and beyond.

Windows 8 has been a robust and optimized operating system than windows 7, so there aren’t much tweaks that you could apply to really speed up windows 8. Long before, we’ve published an extensive guide to speed up windows 7 operating system by optimizing the visual effects, applying registry tweaks, disabling services and so on. The guide targeted users with much less powerful system configuration.
They were required to shut off many hardware intensive visuals and settings to ensure that the OS run smoothly. Now, the number of windows users has grown substantially and so has their system configuration. So, it would be more logical to speed up windows 8 without compromising the visual experience, but we won’t leave the users with a dated system configuration too. Instead we’ve organized the guide so that all the users get the best experience out of their windows 8 PC.
Note : The guide has been organized into three levels. Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
Level 1 – Users who like to keep on their visual effects and settings but would like to tweak their system.
Level 2 – Users who wish to tweak their system but doesn’t want to fully strip windows 8 visuals.
Level 3 – Targets users who prefer to tweak their windows 8 system to the maximum possible extend by compromising the visual effects. (For Systems which have much less Powerful Configuration.)
Myself being a Level 2 User, some of the screen shots used here resembles the settings for the same.
Before Proceeding, make sure you create a system restore point in windows 8 and if you find yourself messed up with windows 8 settings, follow this guide to reset windows 8 settings to factory defaults
Services in Windows 8 that can Safely be set to Manual (Level 2 & Level 3)
When compared to windows 7, windows 8 takes care of most of the unneeded services automatically. There are still some of the windows 8 services which you could safely set to manual. This would free up system resources and helps in reducing the boot time in windows 8.
To Disable a service in windows 8, Press WIN + R to bring up the run command box and type services.msc and press enter to bring the Services Window. Double clicking a particular service would bring up its properties and you may read its description to know more about it and set its Startup Type to Manual.
- Diagnostic Policy Service
- Distributed Link Tracking Client
- IP Helper (Set it to Automatic Delayed Start)
- Offline Files
- Performance Logs & Alerts
- Program Compatibility Assistant Service
- Print Spooler (If you do not plan to use any Printer now or in the near future.) If you plan to use a printer in the near future, make sure you leave the service as it is, because it’s likely that you’d forget that you’ve disabled this service while installing a printer. The device won’t get properly installed unless you start the service again. This had happened to me once and i’ve spend a lot of time to find this was the root cause for not getting my printer’s driver installed on my pc.
- Remote Registry (Most users rarely make use of this service, so you may disable it.)
- Secondary Logon
- Security Center (Do Not Disable the Service)
- Server (If your computer do not connect with any network)
- TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper (Not Recommended if you’re on a network and use file and printer sharing over it.)
- Themes ( Recommended For LEVEL 3 Users)
- Windows Error Reporting Service
- Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
- Windows Search (If you rarely use Windows Search feature )
- Windows Time (If you do not want to synchronize system time with internet time automatically)
After disabling most of these services, you’d notice a slight bump in boot time and speed. Don’t mix this step with others, when following these steps make sure you does this in a stretch because, if any thing goes wrong you might need to come back to re enable a particular service.
Tweaking Windows 8 Performance Options (L: 2 & 3)
To adjust the Visual Effects in Windows 8, Press Win + X > System > Advanced System Settings (Left Sidebar) > Advanced (Tab) > Settings (Under Performance).

You might notice that i have turned on the ‘show window contents‘ option, but that’s just my personal preference. You may un-check the option if you wish.
Level 3 Users may un-tick other options as well. Un-ticking the ‘Use drop shadows for icons labels on desktop’ option would remove the icon shadow and you might need to use a black wallpaper as background too see the text properly.
Registry Tweaks To Speed Up Windows 8 (L 1, 2 & 3)
Some of the Registry tweaks for windows 7, works for windows 8 too.

Some make sure you allow only the most used programs to start up along with windows 8.
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc To bring up the task Manager and click on the Start-up tab to see the programs that start along with Windows 8. Right Click a particular service and Choose Disable.
Disabling the unnecessary start up items in windows 8, ensures a faster system boot up and free’s memory. These programs would no longer stay in the memory as they won’t start unnecessarily from now.
Tweaking Windows 8 Folder Options (L: 2 & 3)
Setting windows to display icons instead of thumbnails would help in improving the file browsing speed in windows 8, as the system doesn’t require to retrieve and cache the thumbnails.

Fainting after blood test(2 Posts)
My daughter faints after every blood test, she's 9. Is this something she'd likely grow out of? We always lie her down, distract with iPad etc so she doesn't see, it's done on the children's ward and then takes her about an hour to feel well again. I'm a bit worried that she'll continue to faint like this indefinitely. Her period is imminent and it's jus dawned on me that she might react in a similar way seeing blood.
Is it the sight of blood / needles that makes her faint or the taking the blood ? I am fine with the sight of it and dont mind needles at all but I had to stop giving blood many years ago because no mater how slow it was taken or how long i lay / sat there after I would always keel over.
On one occasion banging my head so hard i would of knocked myself out if I wasn't already dead to the world !
If it is just the sight of blood I would recommend she starts getting use to it by watching slightly gory stuff on tv , if it is the losing / giving blood I dont think her periods will cause any problems as it it is normally only a few mls at a time unless she is unlucky and has very heavy periods .
Does she go dizzy if she stands up quickly ?

The ILife A9 is a recent addition to the over-crowded robot vacuum market, but it manages to stand out from the pack in several ways.
Right up front, it’s priced under $300. This puts it in the “entry-level” category of robot vacuums, but it brings more to the table than most of its unremarkable competitors. It has all the usual features including dual suction settings, multiple cleaning modes, drop and collision-detection sensors, automatic mapping and charging, and an app for monitoring and scheduling cleaning.
- Product Dimension: 32cm X 33cm X 7.6cmWeight: 3.1kg
- Color: Black
- Dustbin capacity: 600ml
- Cleaning mode: Path, Spot, Edge, MAX
- Charging time: < 300min
- Cleaning time: up to 120min
- Power: 100-240VAC 50/60HZ 22W
It also features a proprietary filtration system that separates dust from larger pieces of debris, a physical remote control with a digital display, and portable electronic-fence you can turn on and place in front of areas you don’t want the A9 to vacuum.
And it’s the most aesthetically pleasing robot vacuum I’ve ever seen. As a hip-hop obsessed music lover, it feels like the “vinyl record player” design of the A9 was meant specifically for me. I absolutely adore it.
The A9 isn’t just a pretty face, it’s also a pleasure to operate. Like most robot vacuums, once it’s setup you can operate it via a push-button control on the top of the device. You can start, pause, and resume cleaning cycles with the physical button or use the app (which currently isn’t available on Android 10, but I’m told support is incoming). The app’s fairly no-frills, but covers all the basics such as monitoring the robot‘s status in real-time and scheduling cleaning sessions.
Where the A9 stands out from the crowd is the inclusion of an intuitive physical remote. While not everyone wants yet another remote control lying around the house, it’s a godsend to those of us who are inundated by dozens of apps for dozens of gadgets. You can schedule cleaning cycles, choose between the four cleaning modes, start/pause/resume cleaning, and direct the robot to return to its charging base all using the remote.
Once the A9 gets going it’s a surprisingly smart and powerful robot. At $279 I wasn’t expecting world-class cleaning capabilities, but it cleans as well as my Ecovacs Deebot (which costs more than twice as much). The two suction settings (normal and high) are incredibly useful.
I have kids and a dog so my floors receive “heavy traffic” all day long. During the daylight hours, when I’m constantly cleaning up food my toddler’s slung across the room and muddy paw prints, I keep the A9 on its high suction setting so that I can get as much crud up as possible. On this setting I’d describe it as just loud enough to distract you from your TV show. It does a fantastic job of sucking up heavy debris, dirt, and dust.
At night, I set it on “normal” suction and let it operate on a schedule. It’s not loud enough to wake anyone up since the A9 is quiet enough to blend in with the sounds from our white noise machines.
It also features two other distinct cleaning modes. There’s an edge mode that focuses on corners and walls and a cyclone mode that deep cleans a specific area. You probably won’t use these two as much, but it’s nice to have the options available.
While the cleaning capability is top-notch, it isn’t the smartest robot around. Don’t get me wrong, it does a fair job of getting around and you don’t have to worry about it slamming into your furniture or falling down the stairs. But I had to experiment a little with the placement of its base station.
I first placed it between the wall and a couch in my closet. When I started the cleaning cycle it navigated away from the charger and did its job perfectly. Upon finishing its cycle it tried to return to the base station and couldn’t figure it out. I watched as the A9 bumped into it for a good solid three minutes before it jammed the base against the wall and turned it on its side. Then the A9 took off and started driving around in circles. Eventually I moved the base station to an open expanse of wall and I haven’t had the problem since.
The A9 also doesn’t handle clothes, towels, shoe strings, or wires very well – but neither does any other robot vacuum I’ve tried. What’s cool about the A9 is that it comes with an electronic wall. This little rectangle shaped device runs on two AA batteries and, when placed, creates an invisible wall that’ll keep the robot away from those things.
I’ve used robots with apps that allow you to set up “no-go” zones, but this intuitive solution is great for those of us with a constantly changing room layout. I don’t have to cancel cleaning for the night If my kid leaves a half-finished Lego project on the floor, I just toss the wall down and turn it on and the robot ignores the area.
The A9 is impressive. Its extra features make it a serious contender for best in class when it comes to robots under $300. I highly recommend this one to anyone in the market for their first robot vacuum cleaner. It also makes a fantastic second robot for people who have two or more floors or a home large enough to merit the extra coverage.

Zero Speed Switches Information
Zero speed switches detect the stoppage of a rotating shaft. They typically have one or more relays and may provide analog outputs.
Operation and Types
Typical zero speed switches use electromechanical, electronic, or magnetic proximity technologies.
Electromechanical speed switches are direct-coupled, speed-indicating devices that open or close a set of contacts mechanically as a function of the rotational speed of the switch shaft. The construction of the switch and adjustments to internal components determine the speed at which an electromechanical switch trips.
Electronic zero speed switches are direct-coupled, speed-indicating devices that open or close a set of contacts through a relay and electronic circuit. User-defined settings and the rotational input speed of the shaft determine the speed at which an electronic switch trips.
Magnetic proximity switches are non-contact devices that use a proximity sensor to detect a rotating piece of ferrous metal. These switches use a microcomputer to count between sensor impulses, and circuitry to analyze discrepancies in pulse time. If the impulses depart from preprogrammed limits, a relay opens or closes a set of contacts.
Connections and Contacts
Zero speed switches use alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Depending on the power supply, the AC voltage rating or DC voltage rating is an important parameter to consider.
Switches may feature one of a variety of contact arrangements, as described below.
Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switches make or break the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. They typically have two terminals and are called "single pole" switches.
Single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches make or break the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. SPDT switches typically have three terminals which are commonly used in pairs.
Double-pole, single-throw (DPST) switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. DPST switches typically have four terminals.
Double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits each. Typically, DPDT switches have six terminals. Contact choices for zero speed switches also include solid-state electronics, which replace mechanical relays and do not contain moving parts.

Zero speed switches differ in terms of performance specifications, mounting styles, and features. Important specifications include operating range or input shaft speed, trip point, operating temperature, and field adjustability. Some zero speed switches use external hardware such as screws, bolts, or rails for base mounting. Others are equipped with integral flanges, or are designed for installation in a standard, plug-in socket with 8-pin termination. Zero speed switches with a threaded barrel body are also available.
For specialized applications, suppliers can provide zero speed switches that are explosion proof, weather proof, dust proof, or capable of over-speed sensing. Explosion proof switches have NEMA 7/9 and 4X ratings, standards from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Weather proof and dust proof switches have NEMA 4/5 and 4X ratings.

Charles Traver, 69, teacher, genealogist
ALBANY—Charles Spencer Traver passed away March 17, 2011 at Albany Medical Center.
He was born December 2, 1941, in Chatham, the son of Spencer Charles Traver and Dorothy Tompkins Traver, both deceased.
He graduated from Chatham High School in 1960. After attending New Paltz College, he taught for three years at New Lebanon Central School. Mr. Traver obtained his master of science degree in education in 1967 from Teacher’s College of Columbia University before entering the Peace Corps in August of the same year.
He served for three years on St. Vincent, an island in the West Indies, where he was assigned to a teacher training college. He returned to the United States in 1970.
He taught ninth and tenth grade social studies as well as Afro-Asian cultures at Berne Knox Central School. Mr. Traver retired from teaching in 1980. He was revered by many of his students who still consider him their mentor. He served as senior class advisor.
After retiring from teaching, Mr. Traver spent nearly 25 years working for Northern Telecom, than a subsidiary of Bell Northern, headquartered in Canada.
Near the end of 1984, he was sent to Nortel’s training center in Raleigh, NC, to be an instructor in the installation training department. He later joined the Engineering Department of Nortel where he assisted in the formulation of their training manuals. He bought a house and lived in Raleigh for about 25 years. In recent years, Mr. Traver moved back to Chatham to be near his family.
He was a more than avid genealogist. He spent most of his waking moments researching loose ends to make family tree connections. His time spent researching history made him many friends along the road visiting many cemeteries as he passed, spending long research hours in library archives while loving every new fact he unearthed. He has left an insurmountable legacy for his family.
He is survived by: his brother, George Traver of Chatham; sisters, Marilyn Fosby of Chatham, Dorothea Wheeler of Clifton Park, Barbara Sirani of Rye, and Beth Barber of Hudson.
