Walkthrough: Lift to BioCorp
EditWalkthrough: Lift to BioCorp
|Lift to BioCorp||Old Waste Shaft||Lift: Lowcenter||BiCorp Lab|
|The Frozen Road||Industrial Area||MidSector Mall||The LifeLines|
|Power Facilities||The Centre||Elyon|
You begin your quest in the Ranger Guild. It is a pretty small place, so getting lost in not an issue. You'll have to head over to the leader's office to get the first mission. Do so and leave the complex.
Just outside the guild itself you'll find some phones. These can be used to permanently save your game. To the west you will an entrance to the town - you can buy and sell items and equipment, as well as appraise things there. When you are ready, return to the phone area and go east to find the lift. Unfortunately, it is broken now, so you will have to walk...
The next area is a dual-bridge area. In the center of the southern bridge you will fight a Nugget for the treasure key. Exit on the western side. Here you'll find the first blue chest. Open it to get the Steal skill and then equip it right away. Go down onto the tracks and exit the room via the northeastern exit. Cross the bridge and grab the Save Token from the other side. You are going to have to watch out for these things during the quest - they are rather necessary...
Return to the western room and fight the Dukes. The Duke Leaders are cowards and will run as soon as you defeat their underlings. They hit hard when motivated though. Try taking them down a bit before killing the Dukes - that way you will be able to kill them before they get a chance to run away! If the Steal skill was equipped, you will be able to pick up a pair of skills here - Wild Swing and Ogre Slice. Go through the door and take the lift to the second floor.
Go all the way to the south and you'll eventually find the next elevator.
If you head south In the next area, you might encounter a Mama Nugget and a bunch of smaller ones. If you do, make sure that you finish her off before any of her kids - if you do this in the wrong order, she will attack you with a major lightning spell! Go east then south to find another large bridge area. On the other side you will enter your first danger room (doors lock until all enemies are defeated). The place is crawling with Dukes, Duke Leaders and Duke Hunters. You'll have to kill them all. One of the leaders drops the treasure key. Use it to open the blue chest that is near to the southwestern door - you'll get Ryu's Kick skill for this. Go through the door and then head through the bunch of sliding doors to enter the next area.
Note - sometimes little worms will fall from the ceiling - kick or slash them to get some party experience, as well as a Heal Kit.
The Genic Processor
When you are in the Genic Accumulator area, you will find a phone. Save your game, if you want (you shouldn't have to - there is a better spot coming up), and continue along the corridor. Keep going straight to find a yellow chest. Go down the other passage and go through a few larger rooms. In one of them you'll find some stuff to kill. Go on further to find an appraiser. Use the service and continue into the next room. After a long scene you will find yourself in the...

Jupp Heynckes has left Bayern Munich in a near perfect state for Pep Guardiola as he takes over the club from next season.
Mario Gotze has also moved to the Bavarians from Borussia Dortmund, but missed out on playing in the Champions League final due to injury.
Robert Lewandowski could join Gotze at Bayern from Dortmund as his agent confirmed that the Polish striker's move to Bayern is imminent. Bayern are one of the most well-drilled sides in Europe and could complete a treble this season if they win the German Cup.
Bayern's young defender Holger Badstuber suffered a 10-month injury setback this season and could return to the side midway into next season. Goal.com reported that Bayern made an enquiry for Laurent Koscielny of Arsenal and he could join the Bavarian club. Arjen Robben could leave the club even after scoring the winner in the Champions League final.
Mario Gomez is also likely to leave the club next season as he is looking for regular first-team football and the arrival of Lewandowski will make him go lower down the pecking order. Daniel Van Buyten, Claudio Pizarro and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk are all over 34 years of age and could end their careers in the near future.
Potential Bayern Munich XI for 2013/14:
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
Right-back: Philipp Lahm
Centre-back: Laurent Koscielny
Left-back: David Alaba
Centre-midfielder: Bastian Schweinsteiger
Centre-midfielder: Javi Martinez
Right-wing: Thomas Muller
Attacking-midfielder: Mario Gotze
Left-wing: Franck Ribery
Striker: Robert Lewandowski

Efes sends a message with dominant road win
Anadolu Efes Istanbul sent a loud and clear message around the continent with a dominant 71-90 victory over Turkish Airlines EuroLeague newcomer FC Bayern Munich. A hugely impressive all-around team performance saw five Efes players score in double figures, led by Brock Motum with 14. The efficiency of the visitors was reflected in their outstanding long-range shooting, with nine different players converting 12 of 20 three-point attempts (60%). A quartet of new signings all made an early mark, with Shane Larkin scoring 13 points, James Anderson adding 12 while Adrien Moerman and Tibor Pleiss each netted 11. Nihad Dedovic led Bayern with 17 points and Stefan Jovic tallied 15 points, 5 assists and 5 steals.
Bayern led for the majority of a finely balanced first quarter, notable for a big slam from Devin Booker. The hosts went up 14-9 at one stage, but the introduction of Vasilije Micic and Dogus Balbay from the bench changed the game as the latter scored 5 consecutive points to send Efes ahead. A rapid flurry of triples, including two from Motum, saw Efes surge to a double-digit advantage with a 4-18 burst in the middle phase of the second quarter, before Jovic hit from deep to make it 37-44 at halftime. But Efes just kept on going, with a pair of triples from Moerman and Krunoslav Simon early in the second half making it 37-53, and the lead just grew further as the visiting team remained dominant at both ends of the court. A couple of dunks at the start of the fourth quarter from Pleiss made it 53-78 to quash any home team hopes of a fightback, and the intensity of the action then dropped with the result beyond doubt. A pair of three-pointers from Dedovic helped narrow the deficit somewhat, but Efes eased home to seal an eye-catching road triumph.
Dogus Balbay delivered a perfect all-round display. Coming into the game with Bayern leading 17-13, he converted all his shots to score 9 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, dished 3 assists, made 2 steals, blocked a shot and committed no turnovers.
Movers and shakers
Former Bayern player Vasilije Micic only scored 3 points, but he made a big contribution for Efes by dishing 5 assists and playing excellent defense. Another debutant, Tibor Pleiss, also had a great game in his native country, combining 11 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 blocked shot.
Balbay wasn't the only player to enjoy a perfect shooting night from the field. Pleiss made all four of his two-pointers and his only three-point attempt and James Anderson connected on all three two-pointers and a pair of triples (although he did miss a free throw).
After trailing for much of the first quarter, Efes took control in the second and did it from downtown: Micic's triple sparked a run of six three-point conversions in the space of just over seven minutes. The team missed just two shots during that period.
Efes will look to take its outstanding early-season form back to Istanbul with Wednesday's home opener against Zalgiris Kaunas, while Bayern will search for its first win at home against Panathinaikos OPAP Athens on Tuesday.

As all developers are aware, web development is a dynamic business where standing still is the last thing to do. Every day newer improvements are being introduced to put a website together and make it a super cool one. As 2016 draws to a close, let’s take a look at the emerging web development trends that a good website development company should focus on in 2017.
E-commerce has redefined the way we shop and design changes are constantly being introduced to make the shopping experience better for customers. It has been predicted that Open Cart will take over the traditional platforms such as Magento. Open Cart makes a deadly cocktail of easy usage and powerful eCommerce functionality and has rolled it into an affordable package.
Open Cart is fast becoming popular with developers as it is easy to set up and use, even though it is limited at the higher end. It is available for download for free and can be integrated with free software support and upgrades. The platform is easy to host and download and is light weight. The control panel allows for simple administration thanks to its intuitive nature. Information and tutorials can be gotten easily by web developers in India. Most importantly, it offers numerous payment gateways as options such as WorldPay, SagePay, PayPal and Web Payment software.
The countdown for making static pages obsolete has begun and features like Angular JS is what is responsible for it. While HTML is amazing at declaring static documents, it becomes less handy when declaring web-applications’ dynamic views. Angular JS provides a toolset for building frameworks that are suited to app development. It is completely extensible and works wonders with other libraries. Its features can be replaced or modified for suiting feature needs and development work flow. AngularJS allows website design and development company to extend HTML vocab for applications. The environment thus created is highly readable and expressive and swift to develop.
Gone are the days when an image could excite web crawlers. This is the age of animation, videos and GIFs. Motion UI is the catchphrase for web development companies in India to swear by. It is a Sass library which is one of three sections of Foundation for Apps laid by Zurb. Developers swear by it for creating CSS transitions and animation. Motion UI allows the transitions on an app to be rich and smooth with pre-defined motion.
More and more developers are using Motion UI as it allows prototypes of animated elements to be seamlessly integrated into websites. This would definitely do away with the usage of static images in 2017.
Touted as Google’s conceptual design philosophy, Material Design outlines the way an app should look and perform on wireless devices. It deconstructs all bits- layouts, style and animation and provides guidance on usability, components and patterns.
Material Design has turned into a leading visual philosophy when it comes to designing. Designers are using it in different ways, particularly when it comes to layered interfaces. Layering allows one to stack different elements for creating a single experience which is a sight for sore eyes and is functional. Material Design is definitely defining the way people view and interact with different interfaces thanks to its clear usability guidelines and design.
We have already bid farewell to the days when websites had several tabs and pages for a user to get confused over. One page websites have become the #1 choice for on-trend, modern companies. They look amazing and are easy to open on smartphone and other handheld devices. Scrolling through them is easier. Top web development companies make use of them for developing sites for single services. More and more people are opting for them. However, a lot of developers believe that there is an SEO challenge for them, as they entail only one meta description and one title tag. However, come 2017 and workarounds for them would be there too.
Parallax effects are like those things that you have used or referred to often without knowing the right term. It is one of the best ways of adding an extra dimension layer to a website. Parallax effects can be used for adding an amazing 3D effect to a website. In fact, it can now be gotten from the New Wix Editor.
We predict that these seven trends will definitely rock the web development world. Who knows what else will come up at the turn of the year!

Firefighters are, by definition, heroic. But in some cases, the heroism is more direct.
We know that Sunday night Los Angeles County Firefighters Arnie Quinones and Ted Hall, both experienced firefighters—Ted a 26-year veteran of LACFD, Arnie a specialist—were killed in the course of working on the Station fire. We think it happened when a ferocious and fast-moving tongue of the blaze overtook their vehicle causing them to go off the road. Or maybe it was the smoke that blinded them for a fatal moment. Investigators are not yet sure. What is completely clear is that they plunged down an 800 foot embankment, and the engine truck flipped, landing upside down.
“Look,” LA County Fire Inspector Frederic Stowers told me. ” One thing I can tell you is that it’s a dangerous road even when it’s daylight and there’s no fire.”
What we also do know is that just before Hall and Quinones got on that fire-haunted road, they helped to save the lives of 58 other men, and that they were on that difficult road trying to find a route to safety for those same 58 men when the fire in some way caught up with them.
In short: this is a hero story.
NOTE: BEFORE READING ON...please know that this post about of the events on Mt. Gleason was an early account that reflects as much as CDCR officials knew at the time. Since this account was written new facts have emerged, which I posted about here. But the investigation is ongoing and a truly accurate account may not emerge for some time. However one thing that those of us covering this incident have heard repeatedly: and that is the message that many of those trapped on Mt. Gleason might not be alive had it not been for Ted Hall and Arnie Quinones.
Both Ted Hall and Arnie Quinones were known to be ardent family guys. Quinones’s wife was pregnant and due to give birth to the couple’s first child within a few weeks. The soon-to-be-father was thrilled. Hall was married with two sons—ages 20 and 21—whom he doted on and adored.
But in addition to their families, the men also loved the work. At the time of their deaths, both Hall and Quinones were engaged in an interesting and unusual job for LACFD: They were assigned to Mt. Gleason Fire Camp, a wildland fire training and deployment facility that is located deep in the Angeles National Forest at an abandoned missile base that, during the cold war, was considered one of the Los Angeles basin’s bulwarks against any nuclear threat.
Mt Gleason Fire Camp is run by the California Department of Corrections and by the LA County Fire Department. It is one of five CDCR wildland fire camps in which adult prison inmates are trained and work as firefighters. The camp guys function in crews skilled in such tasks as aiding in the setting of backfires and clearing fire breaks in the path of advancing flames.
Hall and Quinones were one of a handful of LA County firefighters stationed at Gleason to provide supervision and training for the 105 inmates who were assigned to the camp.
On Sunday, August 30, about half of the Mt. Gleason inmates were already deployed out in the field fighting the various Southern California fires. (According to the CDCR, there are 2,245 firefighting inmates working on fires up and down the state.)
But 55 of the inmates plus three CDCR staff were still back at the camp.They became trapped when suddenly the Station fire came straight at the Mt. Gleason facility itself.
If a fire has the right combination of fuel and wind, it can move faster than a man can run. On Sunday the winds were not the problem. But the fuel was. So as the Station fire barreled toward Mt. Gleason, there was no way to escape it. Hall and Quinones, and other LA County firefighters stationed with them, calmly directed the 55 inmate firefighters and the three CDCR staffers into the cinder-block dining hall, which they deemed to be the only building likely to survive the coming conflagration.
It was a good choice. The fire passed over the cinder block structure, but only barely. As soon as they could, Hall and Quinones moved the group out of the dining hall into a large parking area, which was about the only part of the camp that was now not actively burning.
Yet, fires are volatile and so it was agreed it was necessary to get everyone out of Mt. Gleason camp altogether as soon as was humanly possible. With this goal in mind, Hall and Quinones took off in one of the engine trucks, intending to check out the narrow, winding Three Mile Road to see if it was a viable route to safety.
We know now, of course, that they did not find a safe road out.
Instead the fire found them.
Eventually, the rest of the 57 men were able to somehow make their way down the mountain and out of harm’s way. In the meantime, Camp Gleason burned completely to the ground, with it, the inmates’ very few possessions—pictures, letters and the like. But at least they were still alive.
Once safe themselves, the inmate firefighters learned to their horror that Hall and Quinones —their respected coaches, teachers and the men who had kept them from harm—did not survive.
“These guys were devastated, just devastated,” said CDCR spokesperson, Terry Thornton. “When the firefighters and the inmates work together up in those camps, they all really get to know each other—you know, just as people. These are really cooperative relationships. So they were devastated. A lot of them were out fighting fires, and they didn’t hear until later…”
All at once, Thornton’s voice became thick.
“I don’t want to start crying here,” she said.
LA County Fire Inspector Frederic Stowers echoed her grief and added his own.
“I’d worked with both those guys,” he said. “They were very well known here. Very well known, very well liked, and well respected.” He too found the need to gather himself.
“They were friends,” he said finally. Then after another pause. “I think the hardest thing is wondering what they went through. ……This is very difficult for us.”
The photo above was taken in 2007 of another CDCR crew, when I was snapping pictures at the fire base in Malibu.
POST SCRIPT: An hour after I posted this account, I got one of my regular calls from an inmate doing time at one of the California state prisons. It was a man named Danny Cabral, whom I’ve known for many years.
When guys call, sometimes they have an agenda: they want me to give some message or other to their girlfriend, or their kid or their mother. Most often they simply want to talk, so I make a point of telling them chatty stories about something in my day, just to provide whatever moment of normalcy I can offer.
Danny nearly always fell into the latter category, so I related the story about Mt. Gleason, the inmates and the tragedy of the heroic fighter fighters.
“I’m glad you told me that,” he said, “even though it’s sad. And I’m glad you’re writing about that stuff. See, a lot of guys I know have been to those fire camps, and risked their own lives to fight fires. And they were glad to do it. Really glad. It makes them feel like they’re doing something that….matters.”
Just then, the recorded 60-second warning message interrupted his words. When it stopped, Danny hastened to finish the point, his voice now soft.
“People need to know that, just because we’re locked up, it doesn’t mean we aren’t people,” Danny said. “And a lot of us here want to do something good.
He hesitated. “Do you know what I’m saying?” he asked.
I did, I said.
And then the allotted time was up. . The line went blank. We were disconnected.

CAE Predictions for Cardan Joint Induced Driveline NVH
ISSN: 0148-7191, e-ISSN: 2688-3627
Published March 28, 2017 by SAE International in United States
This content contains downloadable datasetsAnnotation ability available
Automotive vehicles equipped with Cardan joints may experience low frequency vehicle launch shudder vibration (5-30Hz) and high frequency driveline moan vibration (80-200Hz) under working angles and speeds. The Cardan joint introduces a 2nd order driveshaft speed variation and a 4th order joint articulation torque (JAT) causing the vehicle shudder and moan NVH issues. Research on the Cardan joint induced low frequency vehicle shudder using a Multi-Body System (MBS) method has been attempted. A comprehensive MBS method to predict Cardan joint induced high frequency driveline moan vibration is yet to be developed. This paper presents a hybrid MBS and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) approach to predict Cardan joint induced high frequency driveshaft moan vibration. The CAE method considers the elastically coupled driveshaft bending and engine block vibration due to Cardan joint excitation. Detailed driveshaft, joints, slip mechanism, differential, axle and wheels were modeled using a MBS modeling tool. The FEA engine block model was imported using the Craig-Bampton method. The CAE driveshaft bending frequency was verified with the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation and with a driveshaft impact test. CAE order cut vibrations at driveline attachment points were correlated with Dyno test-rig measurements as well as with vehicle test data under various operating conditions. This method was used to optimize the Cardan joint induced driveshaft moan performance up front in the development process, with the benefits of reducing hardware testing needs, avoiding late issues, and allowing a more cost effective design to be explored before hardware prototypes were built.

It’s a question facing all long-term expats in Spain – should you take Spanish nationality? And it seems to have become more topical recently – Facebook posts are full of British expats asking themselves if it’s worth becoming Spanish given the uncertainty over whether the UK will remain part of the EU.
The answer of course is extremely personal. Changing nationality isn’t something you do lightly (or quickly if you’re going for Spanish nationality – see below) and it requires plenty of consideration. To give you food for thought and based on my personal experience, here are 5 reasons why you should take Spanish nationality and 5 why you shouldn’t.
Reasons for taking Spanish nationality
You want easier paperwork
Spanish bureaucracy is notoriously fussy and time-consuming. It has admittedly improved over the last couple of decades but becoming Spanish and having a Spanish ID card complete with microchip suddenly makes things that much easier. Filing taxes online, checking social security details, seeing how many points I’ve got on my driving licence… all can be done quickly and easily via my own pc.
And the size of the Spanish ID card is handy – just like a credit card but more durable. Spanish nationality means no more tatty bits of residence permit papers or flimsy NIE cards.
You’d like easy border crossings
This is admittedly only an advantage in the EU but I really like travelling with just my ID card rather than a passport. It’s smaller and easier to carry, and there’s no fumbling over passport pages when you’re showing your boarding pass to get on the plane.
Spanish nationality is cheap and easy to renew
An unexpected advantage this but definitely a real plus. Spanish nationality documents (ID card and passport) need renewal every 10 years. But all you do is book an appointment at your nearest National Police station (and the online booking service works really well), go along and your documents are renewed in a few minutes. And it’s cheap – €10.60 for an ID card and €26.02 for a passport (not sure why the extra 2 cents there).
You want to be really part of it
One of the disadvantages of being an expat is that you’re often on the periphery and it can be difficult to take a full part in the life of your chosen country. I think there’s a sort of temporary status to being an expat and a way of making your status more permanent is to go truly native. I certainly feel more part of Spain now that I have Spanish ID, although there are of course things about life here that I will never quite get or agree with. But maybe that’s because you’re always an expat?
And I think there’s more justification in complaining about life in Spain if you’re Spanish. Spanish nationality sort of gives you a legitimate excuse!
You want a vote
Expats often find themselves in a voting limbo. This is especially true of those British expats in Spain who have been living here for more than 15 years – they can’t vote in the EU referendum. Nor can they vote in Spain other than in local elections.
This all changes with Spanish nationality and you get a real chance to decide with a vote in all elections in the country. The down side to this is that as a Spanish national you can be called for electoral duty – this involves spending the entire Sunday at the voting station and staying for hours afterwards while you count the votes. I’ve been there and done that, and have my fingers permanently crossed that I’m not called again.
Reasons for not taking Spanish nationality
You don’t speak the language or know the culture
Taking Spanish nationality used to involve an interview at the police station with one of the officers who would choose (seemingly) random questions to ask you and then decide if you were fit to become a Spaniard. That has recently changed and new applicants now have to sit a formal exam with 25 questions on many different aspects of Spanish life. And some of them are challenging (plus they’re all in Spanish – obviously).
How many would you get right? Find out here in last year’s exam.
You object to being on file
Spanish nationality involves finger printing – your prints go on to police records – and of course getting a number. If you don’t like the idea of ‘being on file’ then this isn’t for you.
You don’t want to give up your own nationality
Or feel you aren’t ready to. Getting Spanish nationality means giving up your own nationality unless you’re from Latin America (except Brazil), the Philippines and (rather incongruously) Andorra. I don’t think you’re required to hand in your old passport when you become Spanish – I wasn’t asked for my British passport – but in theory, you’re not allowed double nationality.
You’re not ready to be a Spaniard
Of course you don’t have to suddenly start talking loudly and quickly, keep your children up until the wee hours, gesticulate wildly when you’re talking or embrace life to its absolute fullest. But if you do take Spanish nationality there is an element of having to ‘play the part’ so if you’re not prepared to go some of the way towards being a true native, this isn’t for you.
You can’t face the hassle or the wait
In true Spanish style, becoming a Spaniard involves plenty of paperwork and a good dose of patience. To give you an idea of what’s involved, check out this list of required documents. You also need to pay €100 so it isn’t a cheap process either.
PS I took Spanish nationality over 15 years ago. My main reason for taking it was that I felt I was in Spain to stay and wanted to ‘join’ my husband and daughters who are all Spanish. I haven’t regretted my decision ever.

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
Spiritual warfare is real.
The video you're about to see was shot on Saturday, November 10, 2012, at the North Hollywood Metro Station. Prior to the scene in this video, a very angry and quite possibly demon-possessed woman went on a tirade against Brad Snow while he was preaching and me when I tried to engage her in conversation.
Any effort I made to reason with the woman was met with vicious cursing and blasphemy. After a few minutes of this very one-sided exchange, an African American gentleman name Richard walked up and asserted he was Buddhist and agreed with what the woman was saying. At that point, I disengaged from talking to the two people, although Richard followed me, wanting to continue to assert his point of view.
Brad Snow intercepted Richard and engaged him in conversation. A few moments later is the time when the video starts. You will hear Brad and Richard talking in the background for the first several minutes of the video.
While I am not one who senses demons under every rock or around every corner, or one who believes encounters with angels is normative in a Christian's life, I believe the woman was possessed by demons. The woman, as you will see in the video, was dressed in blood red and black. She had tattoos along the sides of her face and around her ears. She wore a necklace of a cross with a skull sitting atop the cross. She claimed to be a medium. And, as you will see and hear in the video, she hated God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.
You will see the woman spit on me and then a few moments later kick our evangelism supply box, which was just outside the view of the camera. The box and its contents weighed more than 50 pounds at the time of the incident. Yet the petite and vicious woman almost succeeded in dropkicking the box into the street. The contents in the top of the box flew into the street when she kicked the box.
You will notice, as the rest of my team did, that the more of God's Word I read the more quiet the woman became. Darkness and light cannot inhabit the same place at the same time. She wold get up and leave as I read 1 John. You will see me turn toward her as she walked by and continuing to read the Word. I did so hoping the Word of God would drive her and whatever demonic presence was with her away for good. She did not return.
Toward the end of the video, a very interesting man named "Eddie" walked up and stood in front of me, just a few feet away. After a few moments, I paused my preaching to ask Eddie if he understood what I was saying. He affirmed the preaching of the gospel.
When I finished preaching, I stepped down and shook Eddie's hand. Another young man would come up to me and affirm the preaching of the gospel.
We talked to Eddie for a bit and gave him some gospel tracts, which he distributed there at the metro station. After some time, I noticed Eddie standing off in the distance, by himself. I walked over to Eddie and asked him if he would like some lunch. He said, "No. I've eaten good today and I've got some money in my pocket; but if you could spare some more gospel tracts that would be nice."
Eddie and I walked back over to the box the demon-possessed woman tried to kick into the street -- the box containing gospel tracts, gospel DVDs, and bibles. I gave Eddie several-hundred gospel tracts. He thanked me and walked away. I don't remember seeing Eddie leave the area.
Just as I don't believe encounters with demons is normative in a Christian's life, I also do not believe such interaction with angels is normative. But I believe every word of the Bible, and the Bible says this: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2).
Was Eddie an angel sent by God to encourage my team and me? I will not know with certainty this side of Heaven. But whether Eddie was an angel or a mere man like me, the sovereign Lord of all creation either caused or allowed Eddie to encourage us that day. So, to God be the glory and my thanksgiving.

A new study released by Harvard Medical School makes it very clear that drinking 1-5 cups of coffee a day can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, neurological disease, cancer and diabetes regardless of what else you eat or drink, how much you do or don’t exercise, and whether or not you have sex with too many risky partners. (That’s risky, not frisky, although frisky is good.)
So, coffee is good for you. It can help keep you from dying from the most common killer diseases. And its legal. Well, whoop de do!
So I’m asking myself – hey, what about Coca Leaf tea? Just as drinking a cup of coffee isn’t the same thing as gobbling down straight caffeine pills, drinking Coca Leaf tea isn’t at all like snorting Cocaine – not even close. You can’t drink enough Coca leaf tea to get even a mild buzz, but the list of diseases that it can prevent is at least as long as the list of diseases that scientists are just “discovering” coffee can prevent.
You might reasonably ask – how do you know that Coca Leaf tea is such a great medicine? And I would say – have you read this blog? If you are a first-time visitor, let me invite you to enter virtually any disease or symptom in the search box in the right-hand column of this blog and then read the evidence. I’ve blogged on how Coca Leaf tea can prevent, treat and heal most of these diseases. Search for: Congestive heart failure. Diabetes. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Obesity. IBS. Then enter a few more search terms like respiratory, neurological, cardiac, kidney, gut, etc. (You could also buy the 600 page ebook “Coca Leaf Papers” but that’s a whole lot of reading.)
Now to the title of this blog post. Why is the US Congress directly responsible for the suffering and death of millions of Americans? Because they are so totally owned by Pig Pharma that they don’t have the courage to pass simple legislation allowing Americans full access to pure, natural Coca Leaf for making a few life-saving cups of tea a day.
So millions – actually tens of millions of Americans suffer and die each year from diseases that those few cups of Coca Leaf tea a day could prevent, and even reverse in many cases of those who already have them.
But what the hell – at least we have coffee. Thank you US Congress. You’re the bomb. Really.

Toronto, Ontario, CANADA (May 21, 2014) The Education Division of the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) showcased some of the newest and most innovative products in the education technology market, and recognized the best among them as part of the Innovation Incubator program. The 13th annual Education Industry Summit, the leading conference for the K-12 and postsecondary education technology market, was held May 12-14 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.
From their blog:
Crowdmark was named Most Innovative among more than 50 applicants, who were assessed for the Innovation Incubator program on a broad range of criteria. They were judged by both industry leaders and educators in classrooms around the country. Ten participants and one alternate were selected as finalists for the program and the winners were judged by the ed tech leaders at the Ed Industry Summit.
“Crowdmark is very pleased to have been chosen as Most Innovative by the attendees at the SIIA Education Industry Summit. It’s great validation that a San Francisco audience at SIIA sees that online collaborative grading will transform education ” said CEO James Colliander.
Crowdmark, a UTEST graduate, is an online grading platform that enables educators to evaluate assessments more effectively than ever before. It was created by James Colliander, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, in response to the “logistical nightmare” of grading over 5,000 mathematics exams with a team of 100 graders. Crowdmark enables educators to grade a variety of assessment types, including handwritten assessments, securely in a web browser. On average, this cuts teacher grading time by 50% and assessments can be returned to students, with rich feedback, within hours. This significantly improves the student feedback loop and provides an opportunity to enrich the learning experience through analytics.

“Wrong” is a word I rarely use, it’s so…well, judgmental for one and so dependent on perspective for another. So how to depict “wrong.” That of course is the photo challenge.
The little guy below isn’t wrong, but my understanding certainly was. We passed him at the mouth of an alley in Old Town San Diego, and at first, I thought he was mechanical and playing the keyboard, but no, I was wrong. He wasn’t playing at all and it wasn’t a keyboard, only a recording coming out of the keyboard. But whatever it was, it got people to noticing the shop behind (see giraffe) which sold all sorts of interesting and novel creations. So that part was “right.”
Maybe that the thing about wrong and right; two words on different sides of the same coin (the coin we use to pay for trinkets!).
We have a wall….which is sort of like We have a Pope, but not. It’s not even Pink Floyd. But it is cause for celebration, none-the-less.
If you remember, and if you don’t you’re forgiven because your life has also had its crazy moments, when I last wrote, our wall was deconstructed to the studs after removing bees and honey and going to San Diego for a wedding and coming back:
Cliff and I had a few days of rest. After all, everything was out of the office – and in our bedroom, stacked – we couldn’t find anything. So we didn’t bother. We watched television and took naps. Other than taking a photo, we didn’t look at the wall much either. And then the Sons came home and began banging and building. We made so many trips to Home Depot, I felt like I should take a blow-up mattress and just live, reaching my hand out with the credit card whenever necessary.
However, I wanted insulation in the wall since the wall no longer would consist of inch-thick plaster and I hate cold drafts on my neck, so I came home with insulation and applied same. That was my job. Younger Son is alergic to insulation and Older Son doesn’t like it much either. But he held the strips as I stapled.
And then it was The Boys turn. They bought something called hardy-board but which to me looked like old-fashioned masonite and half inch drywall and a LOT of drywall mud. I wanted a wall strong enough to hold a wall full of pictures and drywall is not so strong. And I wanted to make the wall look like the other three plaster walls in the room (not smoothe and pretty? Younger Son asked) Hense, to humor me, they added the sturdy hardy-board (I realize I may have the wrong word here or the wrong spelling (but I do the best I can with what I know) and extra tubs of mud.So then we had a wall.
Next it was my turn again. I spent a day plastering the drywall with drywall mud to simulate plaster. It worked pretty well and gave the wall a nice texture. And while I know quite a bit about working with plaster (I re-plastered the hall a few years ago in another learning project), I knew nothing about drywall mud. But I learned. It dries way too quick and doesn’t always do what it looks like it should do. Next time.
And then we all, “all” meaning all four of us, got into the painting bit. Cliff even got involved. He’s a good painter. Me, not so much. We painted a base coat on everything which helped fill in old holes and gouges in various places (this is a 1920s built house after all), and then we added color. After a day of curing, we moved the desk in. And the computer. And then slowly, we began adding. It’s taken longer to get everything on the walls, after the paint, than it did to build the thing.
There’s still stuff piled on the desk, but I’m a writer. I have piles of stuff. But we have a room in jacaranda blue, which reminds me of the jacaranda tree outside my window when I lived in Mexico, and white trim. We have a wall. And a chair in the corner, the blue covered thing, where I can sit and write with the laptop on my lap and still look out my window at the willow.
My friend Teresa has a blog called CRAZIE TOWN. She writes funny stories about her family. Lately, she’s also been writing about cleaning out her office. Mostly, she writes funny stories. I never write funny but I’d like to. So Theresa, you’ve prodded me. Here’s MY cleaning office story. I’d also like to steal her title and use it for my life right now, but she already has it. So I could say crazy family or crazy house or Just Crazy, which, given my life over the past month or two, seems the most appropriate.It began in the spring with Youngest Son talking about the necessity of leaving San Diego when his son, my grandson, is deployed to Japan. My daughter-in-law is working away from home right now and Youngest Son neither likes living alone nor does he like what it costs to live alone in San Diego. Could he come here if he needed to, he asked. Sure, we said. No problem.
And like a log jam caught in spring’s thawing river ice, “Sure” got things moving. Tumbling, one could even say.
When school was out, Oldest Son, who also lives with us (you will notice children remain nameless — their condition for me writing about them), flew out to San Diego to help Youngest Son move. We’d already begun cleaning and tossing in preparation for the move. It was like a giant house jigsaw puzzle. In order to make space for another bedroom, we had to move the Big Office which my husband and I share into my Writing Office, which we’ll now share, but in order to move into the Writing Office we had to move the sofa from the Writing Office to the basement, and in order to move the sofa to the basement, we had to clean the basement. Ergo. Puzzle making.
We also had to clean out the garage so the items moved from San Diego could be stored in said garage until we completed all the rest of the shifting. I made an appointment with the city for Bulky Item pickup. That was good. We needed to toss some stuff. So we cleaned and tossed and made a pile of expendable things inside the backyard gate.
Then Two Sons returned and offloaded all the stuff they brought back from San Diego into the cleaned garage and spent the night and left the next day for Florida because Youngest Son has stored household items from his move before moving to San Diego. Now we have boxes and bins and a motorcycle. And a very small garage.
So while Two Sons were gone, Husband and I cleaned more. And since the Writing Office was empty of sofa and since we hadn’t filled it back up, it seemed a perfect time to do some painting. We began with a base coat.
Notice the small rectangular shadowed spot at the bottom corner of the window. That’s a faceplate for a plug. I took said faceplate off so I could paint around it. Simple, right? A bee flew out. Okay…. That set off a flurry of activity. We shooed the bee out an opened window and put the faceplate back on and looked out the window you see here and a swarm of bees were lining up at the edge of the roof below the gutter as if it were a runway. It was. We had a wall full of bees. We could hear them if we lay an ear to the plaster wall. We hadn’t before but then who listens to a wall?
At about that time, the Two Sons returned from Florida with more stuff and with moving and layering and a big trailer and all that, we finally got around to finding a bee removal company on Monday. They came. Yes, we had a wall of bees. But they were booked (seems June is big bee time in Kansas City). They could come on Thursday. Early? Can you come early? we asked. We were leaving to fly to grandson’s wedding in San Diego on Thursday. Ah, yes, that’s an added piece of adventure. Husband and I were presiding at said wedding and since it was Younger Son’s son, well, we were all going. A friend, bless friends, came to babysit the house and the bee removers and the bees until they were finished so we could leave. For the airport. (And if you are really really interested, we have a zip file of photos the bee removers took of the process — they removed the interior wall, the bees, and about 60 pounds of honey.)
We left the house in chaos and came back to chaos (the weekend in San Diego wonderful, the wedding wonderful, and if you’re interested there are photos on my Facebook page). All the books, the ones we didn’t toss, are congregated on one wall of what is no longer the Big Office but Younger Son’s bedroom and all the file cabinets which have been cleaned and purged are stacked along the wall with the pieces of a desk, and I can’t find anything.
And we have a room that has no wall against which nothing is stacked. I’d prefer a desk with computer. But not.
But no bees. Or honey. No sons either.
Two Sons went to Las Vegas with their dad, smart men, for a vacation. They will be back in a few days and in the meantime, we are resting. What more can we do? Except I can’t find the recently purchased bag of epsom salts to soak my resting body. As I said, I can’t find anything.
Younger son is a builder and Elder Son is an electrician so he will run wiring along the bottom edge of the studs so I can have another outlet (sans bees we hope) and Younger Son will put up sheet rock and paint and so mostly right now Husband and I are resting and searching for things. You don’t even want to see all the stuff stacked in our bedroom. I’ll spare you that shot.
We dragged all the unnecessary items stacked against the backyard gate out to curbside and Bulky Item Pickup picked up today. That’s done. And since I don’t have anything else to do, I mean how much resting can you do?? this seemed the perfect time to re-finish the old desk for the Writing Office. Might as well. It’s already on the back porch.
So while we wait, I’ll just be crazy. Might as well. It passes the time. .
I’ve not had much time to write stories to tell the tale of our journey out to California and back, so I’ll let photos show you. The sky. The amazing California sky going up the coast from San Diego north to LA glows in the first four photos:
We’d visited Imperial Beach in San Diego, as far south as we were able to go. The dot in the middle of the sky is a helicopter, circling and circling the same patch of what looked like switchgrass in water. The signs said it a project to San Diego water works, but in reality, it looked a no-man’s land. The infamous border wall lies about two-thirds of the way up the distant range of hills. And the sky looks dusty.
When we left San Diego a few days late, we drove Highway 1, next to the ocean, as often as we could. Camp Pendleton, a Marine base around for more years than I am old, sits just north of San Diego talking up a lot of real estate, along with several Navy sites. We had to get on the Interstate, go around the security zone, and then find our way back to Highway 1.
On one of our detours around – well whatever we were detouring, we came to the end of the road and found this most wonderful sailboat parking lot. How do they do that? Park those boats so close without damage?
And then, beyond the zone of fancy security zones, we entered the zone of fanciful living communities. And state parks filled with people playing frisbee and running in the waves. And stately houses, some up on cliffs overlooking the sea and some along the beach, shoulder to shoulder – private beach, I might add.
But then we came to Encinitas – and it was everything we might dream it could be. Happy and colorful and old-time hippie-ness. Sort of like Dude and Dudesses. It was very cool. And we laughed all the way though town. You’ll notice the sky is even a deeper and riper blue.
But the oddest sky photo came a few miles on beyond the sea communities where the view opened into land and sea. Ahead, in the sky, a jet traced a perfect circle with its con trail. And if that wasn’t enough, the jet took off, made a turn, and came back to trace one line and then another into an X.
Now that’s some flying acrobatics on a Sunday afternoon.
The final two photos are from the drive back from California home. We went northeast from Los Angeles through Las Vegas and into Utah where we hit the tail end of I70 – which we then followed all the way home nearly to our driveway.
Here’s the Utah sky between dun-colored hills. Dry hills that would have appreciated the clouds dropping inches of rain. But at least while we were driving this stretch, no rain fell.
Actually, no rain fell on us all the way back for that matter. A clear-sailing road – can roads offer clear sailing? I’m mixing metaphors, no doubt.
And then on through the Rockies which were more rock than sky, and at last, through Denver driving east, we looked back on our trail at mountains and snow (which we’d see quite a lot of) and sky.

Proverbs 29.11 says: “Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.”
The following is a word-for-word email exchange I had with a Brooklyn art gallery who specializes in pop-art.
Earlier that morning, I received a promotional email, stating that they were having a “mystery tube” sale, where 5-7 artwork pieces would be randomly put into a tube for the cost of one painting. It was a steal, and I was really excited to buy one. Since it was a timed release, first come first served, I made sure I was online at exactly the correct time, put one in my virtual shopping cart, got a text message confirmation number, and hit the “finish transaction” button, but a screen came up that said, “Your cart is empty.” No purchase, no tube, nothing. I quickly emailed the gallery:
Wondering what happened. I had it in my cart, I got texts with an authorization code, and then it was gone when I completed my order.
A couple of minutes later, I got an answer.
Recommend not to use that option, uncheck the option in the last page of checkout for next time, it slows you down.
I was incensed. Not only did I not get it or any offers of help, he seemed to be blaming me. I returned with:
So, I lost the tube because I didn’t check out fast enough?!?!?
I figured that the excessive punctuation would properly display my emotional state. His response:
Yeah unfortunately, it’s a limited release.
Maybe it was the aloof “yeah” or the total lack of any offer to help that did it, nevertheless I was enraged.
Why is there not a timed countdown to checkout out, like most other places, where you have a certain amount of time to complete the purchase? I’m calling bs on you guys. I logged in, had it in my cart, and didn’t get through the checkout page fast enough, apparently.
That’s a (lousy) way to treat us past customers who bother to have an account and have bought from you in the past.
I patiently waited for an answer. When three minutes went by, I emailed again:
I had the tube in my cart and someone stole it out of my cart. Do you realize the absurdity of that sentence? If we were in a physical store, that would not be allowed by any party present.
I would like this situation fixed before I post my Yelp review about what happened.
Ah, let the looming threat of negative social media press hang over them. I figured I had them cornered. Yet:
No one stole it out of your cart, our website is first come first serve on checkout, you weren’t quick enough and the item sold out before you were able to check out.
No need to threaten with a Yelp review, we aren’t a restaurant. If you were nicer to us, we would remedy a situation, doesn’t look like that’s the case.
Now he was getting sarcastic with me. Well then…I could give as good as I could get!
It was most definitely there. Semantics, I suppose.
I’ll be sure to include this information in the Yelp review. Despite your lack of faith in the Yelp system and social media, a reputation is everything, even in the art world. My statement was to give you a chance to fix this situation before I made it a public matter. I suppose you do not care for your reputation as much as I thought you did.
At let’s be honest here: you never had any interest in remedying the situation or you would have mentioned it sooner when I first emailed you.
Oh, and your timing couldn’t have been more perfect with this email. I just read our conversation aloud to my class of high school art students right here in New York. (There were two art students sitting next to me, but it sounded better written this way)
However, you’re not a restaurant. I’m sure it won’t sway their opinion of your gallery in the slightest.
After I wrote this email, I sat back with such an immense amount of satisfaction. I had him at every turn! I had won!…As long as he didn’t write back, which of course, he did:
You could’ve emailed nicely and asked, “is there any way you guys have an extra” or “if someone cancels, can I please purchase,” instead you went on to threaten us with a negative Yelp review, yet expect us to help and work with you on a remedy? That makes no sense, we rather help customers who are polite and acknowledging of the fact that they missed out on a mystery tube due to traffic and demand.
Have a good day, no need to order from us in the future.
The nerve! I’d show him. Then a new person (a manager, maybe?) emailed me with this comment:
This is what you discuss with your High School students? Can I leave a Yelp review with your superintendent as well?
Now that was personal! Argh! And then this from him, too:
I think going for this purchase during class time might be an issue when you should be teaching.
Don’t worry about future purchases. Added to the list.
Have a great new year!
Sarcastic and smug! How dare he! I wanted to throw my laptop. So, I sat down for the next 20 minutes and wrote a great, angry, biting review about how I was being treated, how this all went down, everything. I’d destroy them! I completely wrote the piece, sat back, and suddenly realized how stupid and meaningless this all was. I breathed, rethought, and wrote the following email back to them:
I just spent the last 20 minutes writing (what I thought was) a scathing Yelp review about your gallery. After finishing it, I took some time to get perspective.
While I wrote it, I was so angry and vindictive, as our situation went from an exciting opportunity to purchase some art into a pissing contest that ended up with personal derogatory remarks about me. (I don’t say this as a matter of resentment; I’m just point something out for the sake of this email. Bear with me.) I believe, and I think you would agree, that our emails got into the realm of who was going to have the last word, and with my review, I was determined that it would be me. However, I have deleted the piece and ended up not posting it.
A cycle of anger and vindictiveness was created that involved so much emotion, that by posting, I would just perpetuate that cycle. What’s the point, really? There’s enough hatred and anger in the world. I don’t need to create more or encourage you to feel more anger and hatred towards me. If I post, where would it end? You might feel the need to respond, then I would, etc. It’s all just not worth it. Why should we care so much about something that is so trivial? I believe that we are all better than that.
I’m not trying to sound better than anyone else or that I’m taking the high road. I just wanted to let you both know that there’s no need to continue. The truth is, I like your gallery, your artists, and your output. I’m just sad that I missed out on the opportunity.
You still get to have the last word and be right with your previous email if you want to. I don’t mind. If it makes you feel justified, that’s okay. You can even keep me on a “list” if you want. I just didn’t want to be the source of any more ill feelings in the universe and be the cause of anyone’s day to be marred, ruined, or darkened to any extent.
You can respond if you want, but don’t feel the need to.
I sincerely hope your day improves and that your gallery has a successful year.
After I wrote that email, I felt lighter, as if enormous weights had been lifted off me. I had gotten myself so caught up in this battle, that I lost sight of myself. I closed my computer and walked away feeling relieved. It was over.
So, it was a great surprise to receive this email a little later:
I appreciate the email. No harm no foul. All good.
I’ll send you an invoice for a mystery tube as we have an extra for you =)
Hope your day is better too!
I was shocked. I quickly wrote back:
Wow. I really wasn’t expecting that, nor did I intend for that to happen. I’m actually really moved.
That was very thoughtful of you. It’s a real testament to your character.
Thank you. Truly. And not just for the tube, but for making the world just a little bit better today. It needs it.
His final response? Only this:

Last month, I had the opportunity to go to the Wellcome Trust to see States of Mind: Tracing the Edges of Consciousness. I thought that attending this exhibition would aid my own art practice as it is often influenced by my preoccupation with the conscious and unconscious mind.
Particular highlights of the exhibition included artistic explorations of the body/mind split and the theory of dualism – the conceptual division of something into two opposed or contrasted aspects. Historically, from a psychological perspective, the mind and body were thought to function separately, without interchange. We were given the opportunity to engage with artworks such as William Blake’s The Soul hovering over the Body reluctantly parting with Life, which I found particularly ominous and indicative of Blake’s own spirituality. It is interesting to consider how this division between the mind and body has been so disputed in the medical field that it raises serious ethical questions, such as how best to treat coma patients.
I was also interested in how the exhibition explored how our brain activity increases, whilst asleep, even though our perception is largely reduced. As you can imagine, a large portion of the exhibit tackled the phenomenon of dreams. This ranged from folklores that try to offer a framework for where dreams come from, and what they mean, to sleep disorders such as sleep walking and sleep paralysis.
Dreams have always fascinated me and during my studies I was encouraged to keep a dream journal, an initiative that was inspired by Jung. Jung was also a direct influence on many of the early art therapists as he acknowledged the capacity of image-making to link conscious and unconscious material. During his own self-analysis, Jung had drawn and painted his own visions and dreams and he encouraged his patients do to likewise (Storr, 1973: 115).
In thinking about journalling my dreams I was also reminded of visual artists who have explored dream phenomena as a preoccupation within their own practice. In Susan Hiller’s ‘Dream Mapping’ for example, the artist invited seven individuals to sleep for three nights inside “fairy rings” in an English meadow marked by an abundance of circles formed naturally by Marasmius oreades mushrooms, a landscape feature that occurs in a number of British folk myths (Hiller, 2012). The field became a site for dream experiences participants were encouraged to discuss and map their dreams the following morning. With this in mind, I feel encouraged to recommit myself to the discipline of journalling my own dreams – initially through written notes. Whilst I have done this previously, for short periods of time, I wonder what might be gleaned from making this a routine practice that I do every day for a year (or even longer).

This is the fictionalized story of "Yula", a character inspired by a real girl Sharon Jennings met in her visits to the Hope Development Centre in Kenya. When four—year—old Yula is discovered by the orphanage director?"Mum"?and introduced to a caring home and school, her abilities develop as do her understandings of how to care for others. When a new child enters the orphanage, at first Yula is angry and jealous, but soon she warmly welcomes Mutuku just as she had been welcomed when she first arrived. Eva Campbell's evocative illustrations glow with light and colour, rendered in gouache, acrylic and ink on canvas.
Sharon Jennings is a greatly appreciated return visitor to this centre in Kikima, Kenya. The children and staff enjoy her visits and consider her a member of their Hope family. The story has been shared with the children and the Centre has given Sharon permission and thanks for telling this story; a portion of the author's royalties is going to support the orphaned and impoverished children of Hope.

Homestead Purple – Rejuvenating
Q: I planted ‘Homestead Purple’ verbena almost two years ago. Last year it bloomed just about year round because the weather did not get cold enough to hurt it. This year it has been pretty much completely bitten back. Should I trim off the dead looking parts?
A: Trim away! And while you’re at it, do some chopping as well! ‘Homestead Purple’ verbena makes blooms on the tips of stems that have recently emerged.
As a consequence, however, you’ll notice that as the plant grows it develops a bright purple doughnut of blooms around a flowerless brown center. In addition, the stems will root in spots where they touch the earth. Yearly maintenance of your verbena includes trimming the whole area down to three inches high in March. In addition, chop through the mat of stems in several places to stimulate new growth close to the center of the clump. You

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The vacant Terry Heights Elementary School building off University Drive will soon be history.
At its meeting Thursday evening, the Huntsville City Council agreed to raze the old school to make way for a new elementary campus opening in 2016 named for local civil rights pioneer Dr. Sonnie Hereford III.
Soon after Terry Heights Elementary was closed in 2009 and its students rezoned for University Place Elementary, the 17-acre property became a hot commodity.
The Huntsville Housing Authority showed interest in building a mix of public and affordable private housing there. Second Mile Development, a Christian nonprofit, offered to buy the empty school for $575,000.
But city school leaders decided to redevelop the land as a new elementary school serving children living just west of downtown. It will be named for Hereford, who on the morning of Sept. 9, 1963, became the first black Alabamian to enroll a child at a previously all-white public school.
According to a contract OK'd Thursday, the Huntsville school system will pay the city Public Works Department $58,560 to demolish the old building and grade the property. The school system will remove any asbestos first.
The demolition work is valued at more than $258,000, but the city gave the school system a $227,000 credit for providing land on Drake Avenue for a new fire station.
Public Works Director Terry Hatfield said the city has until Sept. 30 to level Terry Heights Elementary.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has reiterated how his company values customer privacy more than other top companies in Silicon Valley, suggesting the likes of Google and Facebook are selling you out when you give them your data.
Cook made the comments at a dinner hosted by the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, DC, last night (via The Verge), where he was honoured as a “champion of freedom” for his leadership at Apple:
“Our privacy is being attacked on multiple fronts,” Cook said in a speech that he delivered remotely, according to EPIC. “I’m speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They’re gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that’s wrong. And it’s not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.”
Cook didn’t call out specific companies such as Google, Facebook or Yahoo, but he says when people use “free” services, it’s not worth it having “your family photos data-mined”, hinting at the recent Google Photos service, which aims to be the Gmail of photo storage:
“You might like these so-called free services, but we don’t think they’re worth having your email or your search history or now even your family photos data-mined and sold off for God knows what advertising purpose,” Cook said. “And we think someday, customers will see this for what it is.”
Apple does have its own iAds platform, which allows companies to run ads within iOS apps; customers have the option of opting out of iAd tracking on their iOS devices (Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking > OFF).
Last fall, Apple launched a new page on their website dedicating the company’s commitment to your privacy. Cook emphasized Apple makes money by selling great products and not by harvesting your data:
Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products. We don’t build a profile based on your email content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don’t “monetize” the information you store on your iPhone or in iCloud. And we don’t read your email or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple.
Cook similarly emphasized privacy on Charlie Rose last fall as well.
How willing are you to give up your personal data to use free services from the likes of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Yahoo?

Tough day at the ol Blue Springs, for the four of us anyways. Matt seemed to do just fine in the couple hours he was there. Started off talking to some members and listening to them tell me there is no fish in there your wasting your time. Whatever, not tough for the master, and especially when I hooked up on a nice 20" in the first 10 minutes out, also bad luck. Matt hooked up right away as well, also a nice 2o". I don't think theres any fish in there smaller than 18". Matt missed one, but ended up getting couple more nice trout. We pumped the first fishes belly, it had a nice olive damsel nymph. Fished them half the day, and nothing.
Greg Anderson made the trip with us and he had lots of action, but landed 3 I think? Steve came later in the day, and only fished a couple hours, but had no luck. Mike, what to say about this yayhoo. You would think being a supposed fishermen he would have heard that bananas are bad luck. Not Mike, he ate half a bushel on the way up, jinxing all of us. Slow day on the lake, but the weather was nice, and the fish caught were big. Next time if you invite monkey boy anywhere make sure he doesn't bring his bananas:)

The goals of the DWR 10 years ago was to lower amount of fish put into Kolob, it was to expensive stocking the lake so much, due to amount of fish harvested. Keep a healthy population of Colorado Cutthroat in reservoir, so Cutthroat can control size and population of golden shiners. Kolob has been proven to do all of the above goals, but since petition, DWR is turning there back on management plan and scientific data. If you would like more detail, facts, please email me at email@example.com
I finally have it ready. If you haven't got a chance to sign the petition to protect the fishery and the Colorado cutthroat in Kolob Reservoir here it is. Also, if you know of anyone that would be willing to post it on there site or blog to help with signatures it would be a big help. Let everyone you know to sign it, we need as many signatures as we can. My goal is 20,000.
Here it is

Headed up north to meet Mike, Dan, and Charlie. We met up at Pinders Pond and started fishing. It was an overcast day and our thoughts of monster tigers and cutthroats took over. However, thinking about catching fish is about all that happened. We fished until about lunch or about as long as we could handle not catching anything.
We then went and fished a local river. It was fairly hight, but still clear. It rained on us pretty hard for a couple hours. We dropped Charlie off to fish some tribal water, where he supposably caught fish, but who really knows:)
Mike, Dan, and I went fished on the other side of the tribal water. Dan had the biggest brown in the river on, but he decided to not land it. I sure wish he could set the hook:) I caught a couple cookie cutter browns, but nothing of size. It was fun to learn the new water, and fish with some cool guys.
We knew the fishing at Pinders could be slow when we went, but wanted to check it off the list and hoped to have better luck. It was a good trip, but the next day that Mike and I didn't fish, Charlie and Dan went out again. Charlie caught a hog, if he is cool with me posting the picture of it will be up soon. Until then feast your eyes on some scenery, fish pictures were lacking.
What Mike and I missed the next day.

I had to keep this going, I got this off Moldy Chums site. Makes you think of about the earplug chuckers at Kolob.
Just got this note from Matt McKeever (Senior PR Rep from L.L. Bean department of affairs):
Greetings Moldy Chum!
Maine's Inland Fisheries and Wildlife did a study recently on how the ingestion of soft plastics harm fish...not only are they an environmental menace, fish arevoluntarily eating them...and as you might imagine, are getting harmed as a result.
In addition, by August 1, 2009, L.L.Bean Retail Storeswill no longer be offering traditional soft plastic lures and will be proud to only offer biodegradable alternatives which cost roughly the same, are just as effective and durable and breakdown naturally in waterwithin 60-90 days and within 30 days in a fish's stomach. The new assortment of biodegradable alternativesalso closely mirror the broad assortment previously represented by the traditional soft plastics L.L.Bean was offering.

I've flown more this year than any year before. The miles, the airports, and single serving friends have been racking up as my tolerance for the pre-flight safety demonstration has been diminishing. But, one line said every time reminds me of one of the best advice I’ve received in life: “Place your oxygen mask on first and then assist others.” My senior year in college, I was a cocky kid with a job lined up and an expectation that the workforce of the world would be happy to have me, perhaps even better off. I have loved working and making money ever since my lemonade stand in 1988 and now I was finally making it to the big time. One of the best classes I took that year was an executive lecture course that met once a week. Every other week we had an alumnus come back and speak to our class about life after Texas A&M and the advice that they wish someone had given them. Every week I did my best to glean some kernel of wisdom from their talk and always volunteered to be a part of the group that went to lunch with the executive after class. The advice ranged from how to manage your money to how to hustle for a new job.
One week, the speaker wasn’t a high powered executive, but an elementary school teacher. I didn’t really know what to expect, but told myself I was going to find at least one thing to take with me. As she began to talk, I found her stories insightful, but not necessarily applicable to the direction I saw my career going. But then she said something that I wrote down and that frankly I have remembered more clearly than any of the other speakers that semester. She taught us the Oxygen Mask Theory.
When the flight attendants say, “Place your oxygen mask on first and then assist others” they are sharing some wisdom that I often forget. The reason you need to put your mask on first is so that you are still alive to help others. If instead you are busy helping others first and die from lack of oxygen, you efforts to be helpful will be worthless and your death will be in vain. But, if you take the time to make sure that you are going to be alright, then you can go on and assist others for a much longer time.
As the holidays and the end of the year come, I am going to take some time to make sure that my oxygen mask is on for the new year. I am no good to anyone in my life if I am moments away from professional or personal asphyxiation.
So here’s to you, your oxygen mask, and a wonderful year ahead.

Hello.....my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be happy to assist you with your electrical question. My goal is to exceed your expectations on Just Answer!
1) Per the 2011 edition of the National Electrical Code, it is not specified within the articles of Emergency Systems (article 700) or Legally Required Standby Systems (article 701) as to where these systems are required within the types of building occupancies.
2) Your local Authority Having Jurisdiction/AHJ, ie, (local electrical inspector) and/or the local Fire Department or local building codes will have the jurisdiction as to whether or not Emergency Lighting is required at the point of egress within a dormitory environment. You will need to check with the aforementioned AHJ.
More than likely, the AHJ will want either a battery backup lighted exit sign with a combo battery backup Emergency Lighting or these can be 2 separate systems, ie, separate battery backup exit sign and separate battery backup emergency lighting at each point of egress within the dorm. This would include hallway exit areas (stairways) and exit doors to the exterior. These requirements are most common with AHJ's across the United States.
3) If required by the local AHJ, the battery backup must be able to provide emergency power for a minimum of a 90 minute time period during the loss of commercial power. Emergency Lighting systems typically use a 6 volt DC battery with 4.5 amp hours of backup.
Hope this helps.........If you have any additional questions, let me know and I'll be glad to answer them for you.
Otherwise, don't forget to rate me before you log Off.
The next time you have an electrical question, you can also request for me at:http://www.justanswer.com/home-improvement/expert-your-electrician ..........Thanks..............Kevin!
Hello Bruce...........thank you for the excellent service rating.............much appreciated.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
Take care and have a great day..............Thanks again................Kevin!
More info on Lights. I have batt back up lights at all doors that exit outside on the outside wall like a porch light. I want to replace them but unsure if i have to have batt back-up on the outside as i said this is a dorm building holds 150 men. I am not sure because everything built was over kill with the lights.thanks bruce
1) Hello Bruce....... normally the emergency lights are located on the inside of the building near the exit doors and not on the outside. The emergency lights are typically mounted on the ceiling right before you exit the door to the exterior.
2) In most municipalities, it is up to the local Fire Department code as to what they require. As I mentioned, the emergency back-up lights are most common on the inside and not on the outside. I would recommend that you have the Fire Department review your existing lights and they can comment or make any other recommendations that may be required.

There have been a lot of factors that have been forced me to think about and look at resumes lately. I’ve been doing a lot of intern interviews, and Siggraph had a bunch of panels about how to get a job / a better job. It’s also that time of the year that I get my reel together so that I don’t end up going 3 years without updating it. All of those things have been brewing, and I figured I’d share what I’ve learned and seen. This is more a list of more things to do than not to do, as it’s just too easy to do the opposite.
•Put your name and full contact info on the first and last frame as well as on EVERY SINGLE THING you hand out. Make it easy to contact you!
•Feel free to include a long form piece, but know that most people will decide based on your reel.
•Pack the good stuff at the front. If we have to wade through 60 seconds of garbage to get to the good stuff we won’t end up there.
•Pick content and music that is non-objectionable. No one wants to send around a reel with offensive content. That doesn’t mean water it down, but don’t put gory or explicit things in there unless you really know your audience.
•Even if you are building a site to host your reel, still upload it to vimeo. Do NOT make a site with crazy menus or flash. DO make it iphone compatible.
•Avoid letterboxing / litterboxing whenever possible, and make sure your reel is as technically perfect as you can get it.
•Put content on your reel that applies to the specific job you are applying for. If not, then don’t bother applying.
•Know what position you are applying for, and think up questions about specifics.
•Learn the ins and outs of the company and think up questions that prove you did.
•Get as much background as you can on the people you will be meeting.
•Do whatever you can to show that you are eager, well trained, and intelligent (i.e. think up questions!)
•Know when to wrap it up. If they like you, they will like you after the first 5. Don’t change that by making it 45.
•Send a follow up to say thank you. Try to include something memorable that you spoke about so they have a reminder of the interview. If you actually want the job, hand write it and send it in the mail.
•Have a career focus, but don’t be afraid to be flexible. Say you want to edit, but be willing to take the tape room.
•Be true with yourself about what you want to do and where. This is important. They smell desperation. Find your love and follow it.
•You are infinitely more likely to get a job through a person you know, even if it is a loose acquaintance. Ask your friends, ask your former bosses, and ask your enemies.
•NETWORK! Join linkedin and get connected. Stay in touch with former coworkers. If you help them they’ll help you.
•Go to local user group meetings.
•Go to NAB.
•Go to Siggraph.
•Find out about all of the players in your area so you can “talk the talk” if given the chance.
•Offer to help, however you can. Help out on a student film, help out filming a music video. Get your hands dirty and you’ll keep making contacts.
•In general, try to flatter the people you meet with. Ask them about how they got where they are, ask them what they suggest you can do to get into the biz. People are self-interested, so try to align your self-interest with theirs.
Now is a really tough time to be finding work, but there is always work out there. Keep your head up, keep applying and networking, and most importantly KEEP LEARNING. There is a possibility that other people are better-qualified than you. Only you can change that, and all it takes is drive.
Got any other job seeking or interviewing tips? Leave them in the comments!

The Walking Dead Renewed For A Fourth Season, Glen Mazzera To Step Down
Well, this shouldn’t be a surprise but AMC has renewed The Walking Dead for a fourth season. What it is a surprise and a shocker is that showrunner Glen Mazzara is stepping down.
AMC released the following statement:
“Glen guided the series creatively for Seasons 2 and 3. [We're] grateful for his hard work. We are both proud of our shared success. Both parties acknowledge that there is a difference of opinion about where the show should go moving forward, and conclude that it is best to part ways. This decision is amicable and Glen will remain on for post-production on Season 3B as showrunner and executive producer.”
“My time as showrunner on The Walking Dead has been an amazing experience, but after I finish season 3, it’s time to move on. I have told the stories I wanted to tell and connected with our fans on a level that I never imagined. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.” – Glen Mazzara
Robert Kirkman also commented on the departure : “I am in full support of both AMC and Glen Mazzara in the decision they have come to and believe the parties came to this decision in the best interest of the future of the show. I thank Glen for his hard work and appreciate his many contributions to The Walking Dead and look forward to working with him as we complete post production on Season 3. I am also excited to begin work on another spectacular season of this show that I know means so much to so many people. This show has always been the result of a wide range of extremely talented men and women working tirelessly to produce their best work collectively. I believe the future is bright for The Walking Dead. Thank you to the fans for your continued support.”
Well there you have it boys and girls. Once again an internal shake up has happened. What are your thought about this situation? Who will AMC bring in as a show-runner? Sound off

Dr. Marguerite Aitken of Plastic Surgery Associates in Grand Rapids Michigan performed a deep CO2 Laser on my 60 year old sun damaged, ex-smoker, wrinkled face. I'm amazed at the results and truly happy. I feel ten years younger with smooth, soft skin. No pain, just an ouch, ouch, ouch when I rinsed my face after washing it. You wash it 4 to 5 times a day for the first week. I tried filtered water to no relief. I went back to work after two weeks. I highly recommend Dr. Aitken.

Maillot Jaune: Apple applied for a patent that describes Apple's vision for using the iPhone, iPod, or other electronic device as an interface for a multi-feature bicycle computer.
Podium - Someone bought an $8000 bike that once belonged to Floyd Landis for $5. It had been found on the side of the interstate in Kentucky.
Podium - Levi Leipheimer won the race that Lance Armstrong pulled out of. He won, despite crashing, and beat Lance's record. Next goal for Levi: Eight straight Tour de France victories.
Maillot Vert: A cyclist going too fast down a bridge ATL in Clearwater, FL, with a passenger on the handlebar - at night - hit and killed a pedestrian.
Maillot a Pois Rouge: Our mayoral candidates are better than Toronto's. One candidate said of cyclists that in the end he feels that it is "their fault" for being hit. And slgihtly related another round of Transportation recissions are coming and these may hit bike/ped funding especially hard.
Maillot Blanc: A town in England turned off it's traffic lights, and the intersections became faster and safer. Cyclists don't cause traffic, traffic lights do.
Lanterne Rouge: Even the conservative Denver Post thinks Dan Maes of "bike sharing is a U.N. Conspiracy" is crazy. "This man must not be governor." they write.
And even though I'm out of entries: The railroad trestle featured on the cover of the R.E.M. album* "Murmur" might become part of a rails to trails project - if it can be saved.
*For the young out there, albums were like CDs** except that they were bigger, would break and/or scratch if you looked at them funny, and had to flipped half way.
** For the very young, CDs were like DVDs but they only had music on them.

When I was growing up, we didn't have any daddy-daughter dances, or even daddy-daughter date nights. My dad just let me know that he loved me everyday. He let all of us know how proud he was when we did well in school, or our jobs, and loved that we had lots of good friends. He now compliments all of us on being good spouses and parents. He encouraged us to be ourselves, and to use our brains in life. He is now retired, but he worked hard for his family. My dad seemed to be at work ALL day. Actually, it was the commute that took so long. Although my dad worked about 45 miles away from our house, his drive took about 1.5 hours each way. He had to be at work by 6:30 AM, and came home around 5:30 PM. We never saw him in the mornings while we were getting ready for school, but he looked in on us while we were still asleep.
Last night, we had a Family Movie Night at the church. We watched a movie that starred a young teenager who grew up without knowing her parents. Her grandmother had raised her all of her life. At one point in the movie, an influential adult in the woman's life told her that she had a Father that loved her. That Father sent His only Son to die for her sins, and to be her Savior. Even if she did not know her own father, she could still know here Heavenly Father. This morning, I read an article about a man in the prison system whose own father walked out on his family. His father-figures were from the streets. And, by following the Code of the Streets, he did things that landed him in jail and prison for several years.
I know that many people did not grow up with a good father (including my own dad). My dad was not perfect, but the Father is. God, the Father, created us all. He desires a relationship with each of us. He sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to be the final sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. Yet, we have to confess who Jesus is, and to accept His sacrifice, to be with the Father for eternity. No matter who our earthly father is, we still need to know that we have a Heavenly Father that loves us and wants to be with each of us. We must make the choice, though, to follow.
John 14:5-7 (New International Version)
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Tantra is more than just being able to make love for hours, some say that tantric sex can be the fulfillment of your highest cosmic consciousness.
Illustration by John Webster exclusively for Singular magazine.
It’s been said that rock star Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, practice Tantric sex, making love for hours at a time, riding waves of orgasm upon orgasm in a transcendent state of ecstasy. This disclosure is not surprising.
In the last few decades, Tantra has gained popularity in the Western world as a magical fusion of sex and spirituality, ready to be learned from books, videos, seminars and workshops. Its primary appeal is the potential for amazing sex, a stroll through the garden of multiple orgasms filled with shrieks and moans, followed by some tea, a short nap and five more hours of exquisite lovemaking. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t like that?
In Hollywood, Tantric sex always makes headlines. Among the stars purported to be practitioners: Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker, and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. In the U.K.’s Daily Mirror, Sean “Diddy” Combs claimed that during a trip to Paris, he and then-girlfriend Kim Porter “went up to my suite and had Tantric sex for at least 30 hours, ordering up whipped cream and strawberries while we were at it. … “As meticulous as I am with my work, I’m more meticulous with lovemaking. I like to do it for a long time.”
In actuality, a very small percentage of Tantra concerns sexuality. In Hindu mythology, the union of the male god Shiva and the goddess Shakti may be rife with multiple orgasms, but its primary purpose was to weave together both genders into a harmonious and unifying whole. Emerging from both Hinduism and Buddhism some 2,500 years ago, Tantra presented a radical challenge to the more rigid religious practices of the day, advocating liberation and enlightenment. The idea was to extend the realization that the entire world was interconnected, that a union with all beings was the ultimate ecstasy.
ANCIENT TANTRA IN A MODERN WORLD
Traditional Tantric practices involved rituals performed by people who were not besieged with cell phone calls, e-mails, traffic jams and other modern distractions. It’s a different world today. Most people don’t care to learn the intricate complexities of a 2,500-year-old spiritual practice. They just want to know how to have more and better sex.
This Neo-Tantra, sometimes referred to as California Tantra, is scoffed at by scholars, who say that in emphasizing the physical more than the spiritual, people miss out on the deeper rewards. “Many are attracted to Neo-Tantrism because it promises sexual excitement or fulfillment while clothing purely genital impulses or neurotic emotional needs in an aura of spirituality,” says Georg Feuerstein, author of more than 30 books on mysticism, yoga, Tantra and Hinduism. “This gives would-be Tantrics the opportunity to concoct their own idiosyncratic ceremonies and philosophies, which they can then promote as Tantra.”
But practitioners say they’re just paying attention to the zeitgeist. Author of the best-selling book Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving (Mercury House), Charles Muir believes that Tantra must evolve. “Like yoga, Tantra has been born again and again, from age to age, based on people’s needs at the time.”
Or to boil it down more succinctly, “For the male, it means having complete ejaculatory control,” says Tantra teacher Sasha Lessin. “For a woman, it means ejaculatory orgasms and having the kind of loving she wants, when she wants it.”
In today’s Tantra landscape, at least three versions are offered by teachers. White Tantra is essentially celibate and involves practices that can be done by yourself, like meditation and chakra focus. Red Tantra is all about achieving liberation and transcendence through the joining of sexual energy with a partner. And Pink Tantra strikes a balance between the two, incorporating elements of both.
In season two of Sex and the City, all four protagonists giggle their way through a Tantra class, but undertaking Tantric study is actually a serious commitment. You can’t hope to attend one session and then experience a five-hour orgasm. Some people study for years.
Workshops are taught primarily by women who advertise themselves in various sensual and erotic poses, and can range from single classes to weekend retreats and vacation packages. “There is no set number of sessions that you should attend,” says Goddess Temple teacher and spokesperson Corynna Clarke. “It depends on you personally … This always works best for people who are committed to transformation and open to experiencing all of life’s emotions.”
THE BIG O
OK, on to the orgasm, women are obviously biologically capable of multiple orgasms, when enough time is devoted to arousal and stimulation. On the other hand, men are not engineered for 10 orgasms a day, unless they’re 17 years old and bubbling with hormones.
If there’s one proven technique Tantric sex experts all agree on, it’s teaching men how to hold back their climax. The Tantric term karezza refers to the act of a male pleasuring his partner and prolonging sexual union by controlling his ejaculation. The art of karezza can involve breathing control, meditation, taking breaks between strokes or fine-tuning the pubococcygeal muscles to physically stop the ejaculation. When it is perfected, the male will experience small mini-orgasms without the big finish, so both partners benefit throughout.
Tantra teacher Robert Frey says it takes about six months for a man to learn to regularly experience multiple orgasms without ejaculation. That’s a lot of karezza. Is there any other non-Tantric solution? In a Tantric-themed episode of Showtime’s Bullshit!, host Penn Jillette wondered, “Does it work better than thinking about baseball?”
Although Tantra instructors base their teachings on traditional principles, much as practitioners of yoga or other disciplines do, the variety of Tantric styles and techniques is endless. As is the number of goddesses offering their Tantric services. What matters most is the journey and if it works for you.
There are really no secrets of Tantric sex, other than cultivating awareness between partners, says Johanina Wikoff, Ph.D., lecturer and author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Kama Sutra (Alpha). Paying attention to your breathing helps, as well as taking the time to connect with and appreciate your partner. Those making love Tantra-style can then have the potential, Wikoff says, to “feel a sense of oneness not only with [their] lover, but with all of existence.”
Just don’t take the story about Sting too seriously. In 2004, the singer revealed he had never actually practiced Tantra, he just made up the story at a dinner party and watched the rumor spread. He eventually conceded, “Seven hours of sex every night? In fact, it’s more like four hours of begging, then a movie and dinner.”

The family of Private Michael Ross say they are relieved the soldier's body has been found, a week after he fell into a lake near Waiouru.
Private Ross's parents, George and Eileen, have been at Lake Moawhango since their son went missing.
George's cousin, Gordon Ross, said he had spoken with another relieved relative at the lake after a body, believed to be that of Private Ross, was found today.
"I guess the ultimate was to have his body back and it's a bit of closure,'' Mr Ross said.
Mr Ross said there was never an indication that the search would be called off until Private Ross's body had been found.
The family is still in the dark about what led to his death.
"[How did it happen] ... I would really love to know, but I can't seem to get any details about how he came to be in the lake,'' Mr Ross said.
"I just don't know. It's a question I'd be asking myself, about how did that actually happen.''
Mr Ross said there was "nothing to dislike'' about the 29-year-old soldier.
"He was just very family orientated and very respectful.''
The family is yet to make funeral plans.
Specialist sonar equipment was used to pinpoint the spot where the body was found.
Inspector Steve Mastrovich said police and Navy divers found the body in about 40 metres of water about 2.30pm today.
Divers and support craft from the Auckland Police Maritime Unit brought the body to the surface and ashore a short time later.
The body was taken to Waiouru Military Camp and will then go to Palmerston North for a post mortem examination.
Mr Mastrovich said police believed the body was that of Private Ross but that needed to be formally confirmed as part of the coronial process.
"This has been a very long and difficult week for the family and friends of Private Ross and also for the many people who have assisted in the search.
"Although we would have wished for a happier outcome, we're just pleased that in recovering the body we're able to give some comfort to those who are grieving.''
Weather conditions coupled with the size and depth of the search area made it a challenging operation for the divers, Mr Mastrovich said.
"Specialist sonar equipment was needed, along with Navy support, to help identify areas of search interest and dive to the depths required.''
Police and New Zealand Defence Force staff had worked "tirelessly'' on the search and recovery mission, he said.
Police would continue the investigation on behalf of the coroner into the circumstances of how Private Ross was lost overboard from an inflatable boat while on a training exercise.
Commander Training and Doctrine, Colonel Evan Williams, said at times more than 100 personnel had been involved in the search.

Abstract : The purpose of this document is to describe how to use the STI software program (STI). The software samples data from a preprocessed database created from the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency's Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) database and renders, in perspective view, the visual scene. An NTSC video signal drives a helmet-mounted display. The Synthetic Terrain Imagery for Helmet Mounted Display program was written to present digital terrain elevation data to pilots in several different formats on an HMD. The program can be run stand-alone, in which case it behaves like the 'flight' program that is provided by Silicon Graphics, or it can be integrated into a simulation environment which communicates over the ethernet.

I was supposed to go to the opening performance of Morro and Jasp GONE WILD last week, but since the show was almost sold out there could be no ticket guaranteed. Determined to get it covered, I went to the 11pm show tonight. And after watching it, I have to admit, I feel pretty useless. With amazing buzz and sold out shows, these two clowns are hardly in need of my paltry words. But for those few who haven’t yet decided whether to go or haven’t yet even heard of the show, let this be your confirmation that this is a show that cannot be missed.
Morro and Jasp GONE WILD is the third in a series of shows featuring the clowns Morro (Heather Marie Annis) and Jasp (Amy Lee), two sisters now teenagers and looking to go on a wild road trip for their spring break. Unfortunately, a wacky car crash strands them in the middle of the woods with seemingly no way of getting back to civilization any time soon.
Right from the moment the audience walks in, Morro and Jasp are on stage bickering over radio stations and openly welcoming audience members in. The energy and hilarity only go up from there and the clowns definately justify the title of the show. Wolf bear sightings, mardi gras beads, pool noodle beatings and a lesson with cucumbers are just a few of the many knee slapping moments of the show.
If you’re not a fan of audience participation of any sort, be warned, this show has a lot of it. By the time they get to it though, the audience in our performance were more than willing to take part and watching Morro and Jasp’s ability to think on the fly was a highlight of the show.
Simply put, Morro and Jasp GONE WILD is clowning at its best. It’s theatre at its best for that matter. The story is solid, the performances are outstanding and the shenanigans are wildly hilarious. If you haven’t seen this show yet, make sure you correct that before the Fringe ends. There are just two performances left, and judging by the sold out crowds, it’s definately best to book in advance!

To me, the screen looks even smaller then a Gameboy Micros!
The Brazilian company Tec Toys announced today that they are to be releasing a sort of SEGA Nomad device which lets you play 20 built in Mega Drive/Genesis titles on December 5th.
The device will retail for (a hefty) $110, around £55 if translated into UK currency. Using three AAA batteries for power, it also includes an apparent Hi-Definition screen with ports allowing you to hook up the video and audio to a television set.

Encypting a URL
I am trying to implement some security features to a web project. For
various reasons, I need to encrypt a URL, then decrypt it and redirect to
the correct page.
I have implemented a few different ideas based on the .NET cryptography
classes and based on code from the web. Encryption in all cases works fine,
but decryption is a mess.
What I'm trying to do:
Take a url: eg http://www.foo.com?paramter=x
and encrypt it...
pass it to another page as a parameter: Eg:
where Link= refers to the encrypted url from above...
the processpage will then decrypt the url and redirect (if certain security
conditions are met).
All the solutions I've seen convert the encrypted byte array to a Base 64
string, then decrypt it using fromBase64...
My problem is I think the Base64 encoded string is being munged when it is
passed as a url parameter. When I try to decrypt the string (in another
page)...I get an invalid length error...
1. Is there an easier (secure) way to encrypt a url link?
2. Can you use a base64 encoded string in a url?
3. Are you still reading this <grin>?
Any help would be appreciated.

Troy Davis will be killed at 7:00 PM EDT tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21st, 2011. The state of Georgia has sentenced him to death for a crime for which “no forensic or DNA evidence linking Davis to the shooting has ever been found, and nor has the murder weapon.” He has been on death row for nearly as long as I have been alive.
Amnesty International urges people to demand that “Chatham County (Savannah) District Attorney Larry Chisolm seek a withdrawal of the death warrant and support clemency himself” (Chatham County’s District Attorney’s office’s contact information: Telephone: 912-652-7308 Fax: 912-652-7328). Their petition to the Georgia Pardons Board and District Attorney Chisolm is still available here. Call Judge Penny Freesemann at Telephone: 912-652-7252 who has to accept the DA’s withdrawal.

CHANGES TO YOUR SCOTTISH SECURE TENANCY RIGHTS INTRODUCED BY THE HOUSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2014
The tenancy agreement you have with us is a Scottish secure tenancy agreement. This article explains the changes to Scottish secure tenancy rights made by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014.
This article affects your rights under the tenancy agreement you signed when you took up your tenancy. You should keep it in a safe place along with your tenancy agreement in case you need to refer to it in the future.
Telling us about changes to your household
To ensure that your tenancy rights are protected it is very important to ensure that you advise us of any changes to your household.
This includes telling us about anyone who has previously moved in with you who you haven’t already told us about, and when anyone moves into or out of your home in the future at the time they do so.
If this is not correct please update your details, you can do this by:
Updating your family information on our website at my.clochhousing.org.uk
Writing to us at Cloch Housing Association Limited, 19 Bogle Street, Greenock PA15 1ER
Calling us on: 01475 783637 Emailing us on firstname.lastname@example.org
We will acknowledge receipt of your notification
Subletting, Assignation and Joint Tenancy
There are changes if you want to sublet all or part of your house to someone else if you want to assign your tenancy (pass on the tenancy to someone else) or want another person to be included with you as a joint tenant.
If you want to sublet all or part of your tenancy, this needs our consent as your landlord. Section 12(2) of the 2014 Act makes the following changes:
Assignation (passing your tenancy to someone else)
If you want to assign your tenancy (pass the tenancy to someone else), this needs our consent as your landlord. Section 12(2) of the 2014 Act makes the following changes:
We can refuse permission to assign a tenancy if it is reasonable for us to do that.
Two new reasons when we can refuse an application for assignation have been added to the existing list of reasons at section 32 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001. These new reasons are:
This change will come into effect from 1 November 2019. As is already the case, before you can assign (pass) your home to someone else you must ensure that you apply to us for permission.
If you want to add a joint tenant to your tenancy agreement, this needs our consent as your landlord. Section 12(1) of the 2014 Act makes the following changes:
This change will come into effect from 1st November 2019. Before you can add a joint tenant to your tenancy agreement, as is already the case you must ensure that you apply to us for permission. The person you wish to add as a joint tenant, and any existing joint tenants, must apply along with you.
Ending a Scottish Secure Tenancy Agreement
By Court Order
The Act changes the way in which a Scottish secure tenancy can be ended following a conviction for serious antisocial or criminal behaviour. Section 14(2) of the 2014 Act means that a court does not have to consider whether it is reasonable to make an order for eviction where the landlord has grounds for recovery of possession under Schedule 2 paragraph 2 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
These grounds are:
That the tenant (or any one of joint tenants), a person residing or lodging in the house with, or subtenant of, the tenant, or a person visiting the house has been convicted of:
This means that we can end a Scottish secure tenancy if someone living in or visiting the home is convicted of a serious
If we are intending to end a Scottish secure tenancy in this way, we would serve a notice on you advising that we intend to seek recovery of possession of the property. That would be done within 12 months of the conviction (
A tenant has a right to challenge a landlord’s decision to take court action to end the tenancy on these grounds.
This change will come into effect from 1 May 2019. This change does not apply if we served the notice on you before that date and the notice is still in force at the date when court proceedings are raised.
Section 15 of the 2014 Act allows any social landlord to ask a sheriff to grant an order to end the tenancy of an adapted property that is not being occupied by anyone who needs the adaptations. This only applies where the landlord requires the property for someone who does need the adaptations. If this situation happens we would give you notice before applying to the sheriff. We would offer you suitable alternative accommodation. You would be able to ask the sheriff to consider whether our actions were reasonable and to challenge the suitability of the alternative accommodation.
This change will come into effect from 1 May 2019.
Conversion to a Short Scottish Secure Tenancy for Antisocial Behaviour
Section 7(2) of the 2014 Act extends the circumstances when we could serve you with a notice converting your Scottish secure tenancy to a short Scottish secure tenancy. This means that in certain circumstances we can change your tenancy agreement to a different type of tenancy agreement called a short Scottish secure tenancy which gives you fewer rights and less protection from eviction than a Scottish secure tenancy. A short Scottish secure tenancy has a fixed duration, unless we agree to extend it or convert it back to a Scottish secure tenancy.
The circumstances now include any situation where a tenant or someone living with the tenant has acted in an antisocial
Section 7(2) of the 2014 Act also places new requirements on social landlords when issuing a notice to a tenant converting a tenancy to a short Scottish secure tenancy as a result of antisocial
This new ground to convert a tenancy will come into effect from 1 May 2019
Taking Over a Tenancy after the Tenant’s Death (known as Succession)
The 2014 Act changes some of the rules around when certain people can succeed to (take over) a Scottish secure tenancy on the death of the tenant. To ensure rights to succession are protected you must have told us that the person wishing to succeed to a tenancy has moved in with you at the time they do so.
Section 13(a) and 13(d) of the 2014 Act make changes to the rules on succession for unmarried partners:
Section 13(b) and 13(d) of the 2014 Act make changes to the rules on succession for family members:
Section 13(c) and 13(d) of the 2014 Act make changes to the rules on succession for carers:
These changes will come into effect from 1 November 2019. If we have already been told by the appropriate person then we do not have to be notified again.
Right to Buy
|Right to buy ended for all tenants of social housing in Scotland who had a right to buy on 1 August 2016.|
This article provides a summary of the changes to your rights under your tenancy agreement. If you need more information on how these changes affect you, please contact us.

Ideally, you want to pick a reliable web hosting provider, so you don’t have to move your website. But it’s possible that you’re unsatisfied with the current web host’s quality of service or simply wish to upgrade to something better.
You might be stressed if you find yourself in this predicament, and honestly,we don’t blame you. It definitely sounds daunting. But that’s just it—it only “sounds” daunting.
In reality, migrating a website does not have to be complicated.
In this guide, we’ll give you a run through the steps required to move your WordPress website to a new host or server. But before we proceed, you should know that many WordPress hosting companies offer free migration. So make sure you ask the hosting provider as it may not be listed on the website.
6 Steps to Move WordPress to a New Host or Server
Here’s what you need to do:
- Back Up Your WordPress Website Files
- Import Your WordPress Website to the New Host
- Eliminate Downtime by Changing the Hosts File
- Create MySQL Database on Your New Host
- Start the Website Migration Process
- Update Your Domain Name Servers (DNS)
What to Expect When Moving WordPress to a New Host or Server
Migrating to another web host isn’t that difficult. All you need is the right guidance, which is exactly why we created this guide.
The obvious advantage of migrating your WordPress site to a new server or web host is getting better service and performance.
You can get better customer support and see an increase in size performance thanks to better hardware, load time, and uptime. You may also get access to more features like building your own theme, monetizing the website, and installing plugins, among others.
Then there’s the possibility that your new web host’s subscription plans can be cheaper than your previous choice, which means more savings. Trust us, getting a reliable web hosting provider can make a world of difference in your daily life!
What makes this even better is that you can have all this without having to put in too much effort.
Migrating to a new web host is a very straightforward process. The steps are simple—all you have to do is just follow them diligently, and everything will be done in a few hours.
If you find yourself stuck, you can always call up customer service for help. Plus, there are web host providers that offer free migration services. It’s possible you may not have to do anything at all!
The whole point of migrating to a new host is getting better service. However, if you end up making the wrong choice, all your efforts will be in vain. Precisely why you should put in a lot of thought when choosing your new hosting provider.
You should know the type of hosting you want—whether it’s shared, cloud, dedicated, or VPS—followed by the downtime, bandwidth, what freebies are included, and most importantly, the security level and support offered by the prospect.
If you’re new to websites, you may find certain terms and processes unfamiliar. Moreover, the whole thing is very comprehensive and precise. You need to follow every step to the T.
This may seem scary, but if you pay attention to what needs to be done, you’ll be able to do them easily.
Step 1 — Back Up Your WordPress Website Files
You must back up every aspect of your website before migrating. In addition to being a website migration requirement, data backup should also be a part of your general WordPress security.
Here’s how you can backup all your WordPress website file:
Installing the Duplicator Plugin
Install and activate the free Duplicator plugin on the WordPress site that you want to move. We highly recommend this plugin as it lets you move your website to a new domain name without losing SEO.
Download the Archive and Installer Files
Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, click on Duplicator on the WordPress admin area, followed by Packages. Click on the Create New button towards the right-hand side of your screen.
Follow this up by selecting the Next button and the prompts that come up on your screen. This will then create your Duplicator package.
A scanning process will begin (all your results should say ‘Good‘).
Click on Build. The building process takes a couple of minutes, so leave the tab open while the plugin does its job.
Once it’s complete, you’ll see download options for Installer and the Archive package. The Archive file is a copy of your complete WordPress website, while the Installer file will automate the installation process for you.
Click on the One-Click Download link instead to download both files.
Step 2 — Import Your WordPress Website to the New Host
Next, you will upload the downloaded Archive and Installer files to your new web host.
For this, you’ll have to connect your new web host—something that can be done through the FTP.
Find Out Your Server’s IP Address and Hostname
Enter your website domain name as host when connecting your FTP client. Keep in mind that you‘ll have to enter your server’s IP address or server hostname as your domain name still points to your old hosting provider.
Don’t know your server’s IP address or hostname? No biggie.
You can contact your new web hosting company’s support team or check your new account’s cPanel dashboard.
Use the FTP client to upload both the installer.php file and your archive .zip file to your website’s root directory. You can find this by the following: /username/public_html/folder.
Again, if you find yourself lost, simply contact your web hosting company for more guidance.
That said, make sure your root directory is empty. If you have WordPress installed in your root directory, delete it.
Follow this up by uploading both the archive .zip file and installer.php file to the root directory.
Step 3 — Eliminate Downtime by Changing the Hosts File
You need access to the installer.php file in a browser. Typically, you can do this by using the following URL: https://–precisewww.example.com/installer.php
But don’t do this right now—it won’t work.
This is because your domain name still points to your old web host, and if you search the URL, you’ll end up getting a 404 error.
Here’s what to do instead:
Add an Entry for Your Domain Name in the Hosts File
You need a host file on your computer to temporarily access your new site without affecting your old site.
A host file allows you to map domain names to specific IP addresses by letting you manipulate your computer into thinking that your website has moved even when it hasn’t.
Find the IP address of your new web hosting server. For this, you have to log in to your cPanel dashboard. Select the expand status link (this is located on the left-hand sidebar).
You’ll find your service address listed as a Shared IP Address. For a few web hosting companies, you can also find this information under the Account Information heading.
The next step will vary depending on whether you use Windows or Mac.
- For Windows Users:
Go to Programs, followed by All Programs and Accessories. Then right-click on Notepad and click on Run as Administrator.
When you select Yes on the Windows UAC prompt, it’ll launch Notepad with administrator privileges.
Once the Notepad screen opens, click on File and Open. Navigate to the C:/Windows/System32/driver/etc folder.
You can now select the host file and open it.
- For Mac Users:
Open the Terminal app, and enter the following command: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts. This will let you edit the host file.
Remember the IP address you found out in Step 2?
Enter it at the bottom of the host file for both Windows and Mac devices. Enter your domain name after this. This is how it should look: 18.104.22.168 www.example.com.
The IP address should be the one you copied from the cPanel dashboard, and example.com should be your domain name.
Save the changes.
You can now access the new host via your old domain name on your computer.
That said, remember whatever you do here, as you’ll have to undo the changes you made to the hosts file after finishing migration (a.k.a Step 6).
Step 4 — Create MySQL Database on Your New Host
You need a MySQL database before running the installer on the new host. If you’ve already created a MySQL database, you can jump ahead to the next step.
If not, we’ve got you.
Create a Database in cPanel
Open your new hosting account in the cPanel dashboard. From there, go to the Databases field, and click on MySQL Database. It looks like this:
In the Create New Database field, enter a name for your database. Then click on the Create Database button.
Go to the MySQL Users field after creating the MySQL database. Enter a username and password, and click on the Create a User button.
Add User to Your Database
You have to add the user to your database to get permission to work on the database.
Scroll to the Add User to a Database field and select the database user you just created from the dropdown menu next to User. Choose the database, and click on Add.
Your database is now ready to use.
Open the Notepad app on your computer, and jot down the database name, username and password—you’ll need it in the next step.
Step 5 — Start the Website Migration Process
Finally, to the main point of this guide.
You’ll run the installer file in this step. Here’s what you need to do:
Connect to Duplicator
Open your browser window, and type in the following address: https://–precisewww.example.com/installer.php.
Replace example.com with your domain name.
The installer will run a few tests, after which you’ll have to check the terms and conditions checkbox. Click on the Next button.
Enter your MySQL host, database name, username, and password.
Now would be a good time to open the Notepad app to copy-paste in the relevant fields. It’s highly likely for your host to be localhost. After this, enter the details of the database you created in the previous step.
Select Test Database.
If the connection to Duplicator is successful, you’ll see a string starting with Pass. If not, you’ll see database connection error details.
Allow Duplicator to Import WordPress Database
Once Duplicator connects successfully, click on Next to continue.
This will allow Duplicator to import your WordPress database from the archive .zip file into your new database.
You’ll also see options to update the site URL or path. But as you aren’t changing domain names, don’t change anything. Click on Next.
After running the remaining steps, Duplicator will show you the Login button. You can then log in to your WordPress site on the new host to check whether everything was imported successfully.
Step 6 — Update Your Domain Name Servers (DNS)
At this stage, you have a full copy of your WordPress database and files on your new hosting server. The only thing left is to change your domain’s pathway as it currently still points to your old web hosting account.
To update your domain, you’ll have to switch your DNS nameservers. Doing this will direct your users to your website’s new location whenever they look up your domain.
Change Your DNS Nameservers
If you registered your domain name through your web hosting provider, you should simply transfer the domain to a new host—it’s simply more convenient. But if you used a domain registrar like Domain.com for this, it would be wiser to update your nameservers.
Contact your new web host to get the DNS nameserver information. This is typically a couple of URLs, such as:
Disclaimer: Changing DNS nameservers will differ depending on your domain registrar or web host. However, the basic concept remains the same.
You have to first look for the domain management area and then the nameservers. Fill in your new hosting provider’s information (the two URLs we discussed above) under nameservers, and you’re done!
If you need any assistance during the process, you can always contact your web hosting company.
Keep in mind that DNS changes take approx 4-48 hours to propagate for all users. But once you click the Save button, all your website content will appear on your new account—without any downtime.
Congratulations! Your WordPress migration is now complete.

Extensive collection of Carl Sagan's papers up for sale
Carl Sagan is best known as a science popularizer, but he was also a renowned pioneer in the early US space program, a planetary scientist, astrobiologist, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and social activist. Now a major archive of his work preserved by his assistant Shirley Arden is going on sale via Boston-based R R Auction – a collection that provides new insights into the life and works of this remarkable man.
Mention Carl Sagan and most people will recall him as the host of the award-winning Cosmos documentary series from the 1980s or from his catch phrase, "billions and billions." But the Cornell professor who passed away in 1996 from pneumonia as a complication of myelodysplasia had a far more diverse career than many of today's generation realize.
Beyond his television appearances, Sagan was the author of a number of books popularizing science, but he was also a major figure in many fields of research. It was a combination that made him a controversial figure among his peers, who couldn't decide if he was a polymath with a gift for public education, or a self-aggrandizing gadfly who couldn't settle down to serious work.
During his life, Sagan acted as a consultant to NASA, provided briefings to the Apollo astronauts, was involved in a secret US project to explode a nuclear bomb on the Moon, an early experimenter in how life might have arisen on the Earth, and a major figure behind the unmanned Mariner, Viking, Voyager, and Galileo planetary expeditions. In addition, he created the first physical messages sent into space in hopes of contacting an alien civilization.
While the vast majority of Sagan's papers, numbering 595,000 items, are archived at the US Library of Congress, Another major source is the personal collection of books and office papers retained by Shirley Arden, who acted as Sagan's assistant from 1974 into the 1980s, when he was co-writing and presenting the Cosmos series and working on the Voyager mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
According to RR Auctions, the office documents, which include Arden's notebook of correspondence with Keay Davidson, were exclusive primary sources for Davidson's 2000 biography of Sagan.
The collection, which includes 20 items signed by Sagan, consists of hundreds of pages of office papers, notes handwritten by Sagan, letters, cards, photographs, books, pamphlets, and slide lectures. One item of particular interest is a letter handwritten and signed by Sagan in about 1980 on paper with the Cosmos letterhead, which Sagan refers to as "this somewhat gaudy stationery."
In addition, there are three books signed by Sagan, including a first edition of Cosmos, file folders from 1975 to 1981 containing hundreds of pages of notes and memoranda, call logs, daily schedules, and work summaries. Photographs include publicity stills from the series as well as 200 NASA images from the Voyager and Viking missions. There are also press kits, rough drafts of a never produced television series called Nucleus, and typescripts for articles by Sagan.
"As a whole, this is a historically significant archive stemming from one of the most exciting periods in the history of modern astronomy," says Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction. "Sagan effectively bridged the gap between academics and popular culture."
The Carl Sagan Archive is part of the Fine Autographs and Artifacts Auction at RR Auction that runs until June 14.

Jagga Jasoos, the most awaited movie of the time is finally in the theatres today. The movie has brought the broke up couple Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif under one roof and we can say emotionally closer too. The movie has been directed by Anurag Basu and is being co-produced by Disney. Pritam, the great music composer has taken the honor to compose the music of the movie. If we take a look at the movie posters and teaser, then we will get to know that it is completely based on stammering. Ranbir’s expressions and stammering and Katrina’s beautiful companionship makes the movie more beautiful.
The movie is based on a musical adventure mystery and people will witness Ranbir Kapoor playing the role of a detective of sorts who hunts in search of his missing father. In the hunt Katrina too supports her. For the first time the audience will witness the lead actors playing the role and will be seen in a never seen avatar. The movie being Disney produced it consists of some animals and giraffe, monkeys and many others. There is a lot of adventure stuff in the movie.
In the movie, Anurag Basu has managed to create a dream-like environment in which Ranbir Kapoor plays a childish man with extraordinary skills. The story of the movie has been mostly narrated through songs. Ravi Varman’s cinematography will surely impress you with his fairy tale. The movie has been shot extensively in Thailand, Darjeeling and Morocco to give the movie a fairy tale feel and thanks to Disney. Ranbir’s hair in the movie will surely remind you of the cartoon character Tinitin.
Altogether the movie is good and is a one time watch and watching Ranbir and Katrina together is worth it. So what are you guys waiting for? Go watch the movie at your nearest theaters.

The Clementon Volunteer Fire Department has decided to settle a sexual harassment suit brought by a young woman who has been a volunteer firefighter since childhood.
Merrissa Garretson had served with the Camden County department since she was 13, serving first as a youth volunteer and probationary firefighter before being promoted to firefighter at age 18.
Garretson originally complained to a deputy chief that male colleagues were making derogatory remarks about her. Then she complained to a town official, who assured her that an investigation had been conducted and corrective action had been taken.
That was news to Garretson, who saw no evidence that anything had been done about the name-calling. She alleges that she then began being bumped from desirable assignments and having equipment taken from her locker. Garretson ultimately filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights.
The fire department elected to settle the complaint by paying Garretson $15,000, admitting no wrongdoing and providing her with a positive job reference.

I really love biblatex, the only disadvantage is that it is not so simple any more to mess with the bibitems manually any more.
Here is a problem that caused me grief: I was asked to blacken out (nigrify) the identifying parts of self-references in a paper to maintain double-blind refereeing. When I used regular bib, I just define
and put around the text
\newblock. Not very elegant, but doable. (note that there are better ways of nigrification, see
Efficient ways to anonymize a document but that is not the point)
In biblatex, I can do the same, but things are much more tedious since the data is organized in a much more granular way.... very very tedious (I just did it for two papers and it took me more than an hour).
Ideally, I would like to just specify the authors whose citations I would like to nigrify and then in these bib entries the author names, the title, URL, and page ranges are nigrified e.g. by
\blackbox. But I would also be willing to do some editing e.g. by replacing
\blackentry could call things like
locally for nigrification. In principle biblatex should be uniquely suited for this; I just do not understand the code deeply enough to do it myself.

A.Cherie’s in house custom wedding dress designer, Ashley, has over six years of experience of working in the fashion industry. After attending fashion school, Ashley began her career working in bridal couture shops where she gained a wealth of knowledge about high end couture sewing techniques and intricate beading and embroidery. Her experience through out the fashion industry has molded her into who she is today, and has inspired her to launch her own custom bridal business.
At A.Cherie Couture, our clients are consulted for every step of the design process from the initial sketch and concept, to the construction details of the design and the fabrication options that will ultimately fulfill the product of the client’s dreams for their special day.
A Word From the Designer
“My whole life, I knew I had wanted to be a fashion designer. Growing up, the entrepreneur in me shined through at a very young age when I opened my first store in my parent’s house. I had so much fun “opening” my shop, and I knew that I would one day own my own businesses. Ever since I was a young girl, I would embroider all of my clothes by hand with sequins, ribbons, beads and whatever I could get my hands on! People would ask me how I could sit there for hours putting on each bead, one by one. But I truly enjoyed it and loved seeing the very boring product turn into something so unique and different.
Little did I know, the things I did at such a young age would lead me to my passion of where I am today, designing custom wedding dresses, accessories and couture collections! I have always had a love for Haute Couture, and the intricacy of each unique design and fabric thrills me. The details in couture gowns have always inspired me to create something unique and magnificent in whatever I do. Designers that truly inspire my creations are Elie Saab, Dior, Galia Lahav, Marchesa, Berta Bridal, and Inbal Dror.
I earned my BA in Fashion Design at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, TX. I studied couture embroidery, surface design and traveled the world upon graduating to explore design in every aspect through out the world. I have worked for many couture houses which is where I have gained a lot of my bridal experience, learned couture sewing techniques and knowledge about the wedding industry.
I am so excited to have you as a client and I can not wait to bring your dream dress to life! Book your design consultation today!

Whether it be cruising a halfpipe, launching air off of a kicker, or sliding off of your favorite park jibs, there is tons of fun to be had in the terrain parks around North America. The best part is that each one offers up a unique experience that caters to all different levels and abilities. We went through them all and put together a list of seven of the best terrain parks in North America to check out on your next ski trip.
1. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, Canada
Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics and a mecca for terrain park enthusiasts, Whistler offers two parks that cater to beginner and intermediate level skiers and riders. The School Yard Terrain Park is specifically built as a kid zone for children to learn and develop their skills, while the Habitat Terrain Park is constructed and inspired by aspects of nature. It starts with a beginner-to-intermediate section of jibs and jumps followed by an intermediate-to-advanced section.
On the Blackcomb side, three parks that serve up a little of everything. The Big Easy Terrain Park is a mix of small rails, rollers, and mini-hits for beginners. The Terrain Park is the next level up, combining intermediate and advanced features. This park is the perfect place to see if you are ready for the massive spines, kickers, rails, and jibs of the expert zone called the Highest Level Park.
2. Breckenridge, Colorado
Breckenridge is home to four world-class terrain parks, and you’l have no problem staying busy. The Freeway is the most renowned of the four parks for its ‘Pro’ status: expect gigantic jumps, a 22-foot superpipe, and a box/rail line that allows you to test all the board slides in your arsenal.
For a bit more variety, Park Lane is an intermediate and advanced terrain park filled with rails, boxes, and jibs. If you’re looking for something a little bit more intermediate, check out Trygve’s Terrain Park and for those entry-level skiers and riders, there is Highway 9.
3. Mammoth Mountain, California
The Unbound Terrain Parks of Mammoth are a work of innovation that has set a precedent for terrain parks around North America. The five parks here offer up a little bit of everything, from the 22-foot superpipe in the main park to the multiple jib and jump lines of South Park. Whatever you are looking for, Mammoth probably has it.
Disco, Wonderland, and Eagle Playgrounds are great for gaining some experience with mini-boxes, roll-overs, and spines that begin small and gradually get bigger as the park continues on. From here, Forest Trail is an intermediate stepping-stone to slightly bigger jumps and jibs.
Once you have mastered those, hit the more advanced terrain found in Jib and More, South Park, and Main Park. These three expert pro-level parks will open up even more opportunity for air tricks off of big kickers and a variety of rail lines.
4. Northstar, California
Northstar California has consistently been held in high regard as one of the best terrain parks in North America. Head up Vista Express and you’ll see terrain parks to your left and right bursting with activity.
The lift provides access to nine different terrain park zones. Riglet Park is designed for kids six years and under, while the Playground, Forerunner, and Sidewinder Burton Progression Park also have extra small features. Lil’ Stash and Moonshine are the next step up, followed by Pinball, and then Pipeline with two 18-foot halfpipes and one mini pipe.
5. Park City, Utah
Deemed as one of North America’s most progressive pipe and park set-ups, Park City Mountain Resort offers 9 different terrain parks and two halfpipes. If you’re looking to get your start in the terrain park world, the friendly features of Little Kings at the Park City base and Pinedraw draw at the Canyons base will ease you into the rhythm and flow.
Pick Axe at Park City and Transitions at Canyons offer some medium-scale jumps and features to try out, while 3 Kings and Pick ‘N Shovel have some amazing jumps, all types of jibs and rails, and a 13-foot mini-pipe. Test out your pipe-riding skills on the biggest stage of all: the Eagle Superpipe. Standing at 22-feet high with a run length of 550 feet, this is not a challenge to take lightly.
6. Big Bear, California
Big Bear in California is a resort that is almost solely dedicated to terrain parks. The three terrain parks here offer up a little bit of everything. The Skill Builder Park was made with beginners in mind, featuring low impact and non-intimidating jumps. Don’t miss the Freestyle Park, built for all levels with a 12- and 18-foot halfpipe and a mix of multi-skilled jumps and jobs.
One of the more interesting parks at Big Bear is the Red Bull Plaza, an intermediate to expert-level park constructed to transform the mountain into an urban playground with a mix of rails, pipes, wall rides, and spines.
7. Keystone, Colorado
Home to the award-winning A51 terrain park, Keystone is packed with 60 acres of park features spread over six different terrain parks. Starting small in the I-70 terrain park, you will be greeted with petit boxes, rails, and jumps that get progressively larger as the park continues on. Moving up a level to Park Lane and The Alley you will encounter medium level jumps, jibs and a quarter pipe that will help you to build up the courage to try and craft your freestyle skills. For those looking to step on up to the largest park, Main Street is the place to air it out in the triple jump line.
Whether your goal is gaining the finesse to skillfully glide off of a 60-foot kicker or discovering the thrills of completing a solid rail slide, there is a profound joy to be had in the many terrain parks of North America. Get out there, explore, and discover the features that can take your snow experience to new levels.

An Avenue to Return Kids to the Hobby
By Brandon York aka UofLnMU
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: collecting sports cards is one of the few multi generational hobbies America has. Right now, we risk severing that tie. When I think about the glory days of sports card collecting, like most of you folks, I think back to the dusty box of cards from my grandfather’s attic (I pulled a 1974 Mike Schmidt and a 1975 Johnny Bench from that “box break”). I heard stories from my older relatives about fabled (and likely fictional) 1951 Mickey Mantles placed inside bicycle spokes and tales of Ted Kluszewski’s biceps that read more like a Cincinnati-area Paul Bunyan than a sports page. This was my baptism into the church of sports cards. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the sport other than hearing the names intoned reverently by my father and his brother during long days pulling tobacco plants on the farm in Kentucky. (A farm, coincidentally not terribly far from a farm owned by Don Gullett—that subsequently went under, and forced Gullett to return to coaching…or at least so my uncle said).
One of my first religious experiences was one I shared with my father. The Reds had traded for Tom Seaver, whose name I only knew from the hushed reverent tones that it was spoken in. I was opening packs of cards that I’d carried home from the store. I was still at the age that team affiliation trumped all things—I was interested in the Reds, and specifically the uniform. I knew little more than it was my team, an inheritance that I had received from my father and uncle. At any rate, that fateful afternoon was the first occasion that one of the cards pulled from the pack came with it a name I recognized. It never went down in the annals of sports lore as one of those iconic pieces of cardboard, but nevertheless, it was one that found its way into my jeans back pocket—and subsequently turned to cloth.
I collected cards, and specifically baseball, because I enjoyed baseball. I enjoyed baseball mainly due to the fact that I received the cues that I should enjoy baseball. It was a connection that I shared with a previous generation of my family, and an arena that I could share with my father, even during my petulant early teen years when I sat on the couch watching Mike Scott square off against the New York Mets (who soon became my “other” team). This ultimately is what attracted me to sports cards—it was meaningful to me. It offered me definition and location for my identity. I enjoyed baseball because…well, it’s just because it’s who I was as a member of my family.
I’ve heard that same story intoned by countless other men and women at conventions and in lines to acquire autographs. I have yet to hear anyone talk about the magical moment that they pulled their first chase card or the first time they pulled a redemption card. The thing that we want to see return to the hobby is the sort of beauty and innocence that we fancy existed in that bygone era. An era in which kids strolled up to the counter and were able to buy a pack or two with their own money, and were excited to get cards of their favorite team or player—and no one ever used the phrase “base card” (or at least not in a derogatory sense). An era when kids would talk about cards and everyone chased after the same set. The marketplace is cluttered with so many different products. Pete Rose had one rookie card. How many does Joey Votto have? If it’s that confusing for a 36 year old to navigate the card market, what do we expect a youngster to do?
To return collecting to the “glory days,” we have to replicate those conditions. I can’t support myself as a hobbyist today, even with a decent job. How can we expect kids to? The hobby historically was founded on the backs (or bicycle spokes) of working class kids. Not only is the market glutted with product, but it’s glutted with product that is priced at an insane sticker price. The problem is the same as the one plaguing professional sports. Sports have priced themselves out of the range of the diehard fan. I certainly didn’t grow up in the era where a Coke was a nickel, but in about 15 years, I’ve seen ticket prices increase beyond 100%. When I go to a baseball game, the trip has been budgeted for quite some time. The experience of sport is qualitatively different now. If we’re serious about a return to the “good old days”, we have to return to those values.
Enough gimmicks. I don’t need to pay six bucks for a pack of cards because I have a slight chance of landing an autograph from a player who won’t see a major league stadium for another 3 years.
Enough subsets. I want to piece together a set—a meaningful set, not hunt for a handful of radioactive, reflecting, refracting pieces of plastic. If there are more cards in existence for Aroldis Chapman than Bob Gibson, we have a problem.
Enough with the high-end product. I didn’t fall in love with my significant other after some sort of lengthy cost-benefits analysis (happily, she didn’t look into my earning potential, either.) Sure, cards will always have value based on desirability, but we shouldn’t be sending the message to kids up-front that the only reason we should value cards is because of the insane money that they bring.
The next generation of collectors needs to find the joy and love to collect through similar channels that we did. Get the speculators out of the hobby, and return it to where it was when it was done for love of the game and the thrill of chasing your favorite stars.

BEIJING, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made another attempt on Friday to mislead the international community by demanding China apologize for the recent radar incident.
If there is an apology to be made for the latest unease in China-Japan relations, it should be from the Japanese side.
The accusation that Chinese warships targeted fire-control radars at Japanese vessels in the East China Sea on Jan. 30 is a sheer fabrication. The Chinese Ministry of National Defense has confirmed that no fire-control radar was used.
To safeguard the overall situation of China-Japan relations, China had taken Japan's allegation seriously and immediately conducted an earnest investigation, but the truth disappointed Tokyo.
As a matter of fact, Japan should be held responsible for any possible missteps as its Self-Defense Forces vessels had closely traced and monitored Chinese warships which were conducting regular training in high sea.
By spreading false accusation and posing as a poor victim, Japan had intended to tarnish China's image so as to gain sympathy and support, but a lie does not help.
While hyping up the "China threat" with irresponsible remarks, the Abe government is boosting Japan's military strength. For the first time in years, Japan raised its military budget this year despite its economic woes. This is seen as a worrisome signal by its Asian neighbors troubled by bitter memories of Japan's militarism during the Second World War.
Japan's petty tricks are counterproductive to the improvement of its ties with China, which have been souring over Tokyo's provocative move to "nationalize" the Diaoyu Islands last year. The disputed islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times.
Uichiro Niwa, who served as Japanese ambassador to China from mid-2010 till late last year, acknowledged recently that his government misread the situation and made a mistake in choosing to "buy" the Diaoyu Islands, which ignited contention.
A Chinese saying goes that "it is better for the doer to undo what he has done." It is time for Japan to make sincere efforts to rectify its wrongdoing and mend relations with China, rather than playing petty tricks and stirring up tension.
The stakes are high for the two Asian neighbors and economic giants to improve their strained ties, which needs both political courage and wisdom.
China has been exercising maximum restraint and stayed committed to solving the dispute through dialogue and consultation.
It is hoped that Japan can face up to reality and history, and act on its words to contribute to the China-Japan strategic relationship of mutual benefit.
TOKYO, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Ambassador to Japan Cheng Yonghua said Friday that Japan should stop its irresponsible words on the radar incident and lodged solemn representations with Japan over the issue, according to the Chinese Embassy in Japan.
Cheng made the remark during his meeting with Japanese Deputy Foreign Minister Chikao Kawai, adding what the Japanese side said is far from the truth. Full story
BEIJING, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- China on Friday refuted Japan's allegations that Chinese warships targeted fire-control radars at Japanese vessels in the East China Sea.
"Recently, Japan has repeatedly spread false accusations that have distorted facts and defamed Chinese military's normal combat readiness training," according to a statement issued by the information office of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. Full story

Let’s be honest. We all hate these games. The Alabama Crimson Tide’s game against Western Carolina on Saturday is nothing more than an obligatory affair. The Catamounts have lost nine straight games after starting the season with a win over Mars Hill. They are 1-9 overall and 0-8 in the Southern Conference. They have lost by double digits in eight of those nine games.
But much to our chagrin, these games will continue to happen. I don’t like it, but I understand the necessity for it. These games are important for the smaller FCS schools like Western Carolina as they will get a very nice payday for the beatdown they will receive in Tuscaloosa this Saturday. A payday that has already been very important to their athletic department.
The $475,000 the Catamounts received to come to Bryant-Denny Stadium has allowed Western Carolina to upgrade its video editing equipment.
That’s all well and good, but competitive this game will not be. It will be a blowout, and if you are at the game Saturday you will likely spend most of the fourth quarter with your nose in your program trying to figure out who is on the field in Crimson.
That’s no disrespect to Western Carolina, but this game will not be close and it won’t be all that interesting to watch unless you are a football nerd like me.
For those of you that aren’t too hungover and will be in attendance, and for those of you who will be watching it on the SEC Network early Saturday afternoon, here is what to watch for when the Crimson Tide takes the field.
Putting Last Week’s Loss in the Rear-View and Not Looking Back
Alabama lost last week. As painful as it was, it’s time to get over it. That loss is in the past and it is imperative that the Crimson Tide doesn’t look back. After losing to LSU in overtime last season, Nick Saban and the coaching staff did a great job at getting Alabama to focus on what was ahead of them and not on what was behind them. That team went on to win the BCS National Championship in a rematch with the Bayou Bengals in New Orleans.
You can bet that Saban and company have mentioned how last season’s squad survived a loss. The hope for this game is that Alabama comes out fast and puts Western Carolina away early. Saban says it has been a good week of practice, but you never really know how the players are going to respond until game day.
Alabama still has a lot to play for, regardless of whether or not they will get the opportunity to play for the National Championship. As long as the Crimson Tide beats Auburn in the Iron Bowl next week, they will advance to Atlanta to play Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. Alabama could potentially finish the season 13-1 with an SEC Title and a BCS Bowl victory, and really it’s pretty hard to complain about that kind of season.
We all would have killed for that kind of result during the Shula days.
Perhaps the most important thing on Saturday will be staying healthy. The biggest worry in games like this is losing a key player to an injury in a game you could win with said player standing on the sideline for the entire sixty-minutes. The injury bug has bit Alabama hard this season, with several players being lost to season ending injuries, and other guys dealing with nagging injuries.
A win is inevitable. Leaving Bryant-Denny with the team completely intact is not. Alabama will need to be healthy for the two weeks that follow as they look to wrap-up the SEC West against Auburn, and then face off with Georgia in the SEC Championship game, in a matchup that could easily turn into a play-in for the national championship, but more on that later.
Who is that guy?
Several times on Saturday, you will be nudging the person next to you in the stadium or on the couch and asking that particular question, so keep your programs or online rosters handy. You are going to need them.
Games like these are ones where you hope to see a lot of the younger guys see action. It gives them valuable experience for the future, and it allows you to rest your starters and key backups after the game is well in hand.
I’m hoping that guys like AJ McCarron, Eddie Lacy, Amari Cooper, and the entire starting offensive line don’t have to take many second half snaps. This game needs to be nothing more than a glorified scrimmage for those guys.
The first team defense will likely see more of the field than the first team offense, but also look for Alabama to play a lot of guys on that side of the ball as well. Freshmen such as Landon Collins, Denzel Devall, Reggie Ragland, Geno Smith, and Tyler Hayes among others should see a decent bit of playing time on Saturday. That will be key for the future as all of those guys will likely be key contributors somewhere down the road for the Crimson Tide.
Hope for Chaos
As much as last week’s loss sucked for all of us, the Crimson Tide isn’t done yet. They dropped to only 4th in the BCS as the highest ranked one loss team in the country. The three undefeated teams – Oregon, Kansas State, and Notre Dame – will all be in action this week.
For Alabama to get to Miami, they will need two of those three teams to lose. If two of the three do fall, then the Alabama/Georgia game practically becomes a National Championship semifinal with the Tide and Bulldogs being ranked higher than any other one loss team.
Kansas State and Notre Dame shouldn’t have a whole lot of trouble this weekend as the Wildcats take on 4-5 Baylor and the Fighting Irish do battle with 5-5 Wake Forest. I say that, of course, but you never know with Notre Dame. I think Kansas State will win easily, and Notre Dame should, but don’t be surprised if the Irish are locked in another closer than expected game.
Notre Dame was supposed to blow out Pittsburgh two weeks ago. Instead, the Panthers took them to overtime, and by all means should have come out victorious as they blew chance after chance in their upset bid.
The biggest hope for one of the three remaining (eligible) undefeated teams to lose this weekend is Oregon playing host to 13th ranked Stanford. Vegas is bullish on the Ducks – listing them as a 20-point favorite – but with a banged up defensive front, Stanford poses a threat to Oregon with their power running game.
The Ducks should have some guys back on defense this week, but it should still be a stern test against the Cardinal, with Stanford boasting the top-ranked run defense in the country.
It’s unlikely that chaos will happen this weekend, but then again, this is college football and if I have learned anything since I started watching this sport it is this: Anything can happen on any given Saturday.

Furosemide is an effective diuretic-saluretic for oral use in the treatment of
edema (pulmonary congestion, ascites) associated with cardiac insufficiency and
acute non-inflammatory tissue edema.
Dogs: 2-6 mg/kg, every
8-12 hours (or as needed) orally
Cats: 1-4 mg/kg, every 8-24 hours orally
Adverse Effects: Adverse effects primarily
related to diuretic effect - the loss of fluid and electrolytes.
Because animal reproductive
studies have shown that furosemide may cause fetal abnormality, the drug is
contraindicated in pregnant animals. Administer conservatively in animals
receiving ACE inhibitors to decrease risk of azotemia. Concurrent use with
aminoglycoside antibiotics increases risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
concurrent use with amphotericin B may increase hephrotoxity.
Each tablet contains 40 mg furosemide: 4-chloro-N-furfuryl-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid.
Store at controlled room temperature (59°-86°F).
law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian
Keep out of reach of
is a highly effective diuretic and if given in excessive amounts as with any
diuretic may lead to excessive diuresis which could result in electrolyte
imbalance, dehydration and reduction of plasma volume enhancing the risk of
circulatory collapse, thrombosis and embolism. Observe animal for early signs of
fluid depletion with electrolyte imbalance and if necessary take corrective
action. The concurrent use of furosemide with some antibiotics may be
inadvisable. There is evidence that the drug enhances the nephrotoxic potential
of aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, and polymyxins and increases the ototoxic
effects of aminoglycosides. Not for animals intended for food.

Zurich (AFP) Oct 31, 2012
Switzerland's national drug agency announced Wednesday it was lifting a ban on sales of flu vaccines made by Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis after documenting that concerns over impurities were unfounded.
"Swissmedic lifts the suspension of deliveries and use of Novartis flu vaccines (since) the company has managed to document the quality of the batches that have been and will be delivered in Switzerland," the agency said in a statement.
Last week, Switzerland joined Italy, Austria and Germany in freezing the sale and use of Novartis's Fluad and Begripal flu vaccines after white particles were seen in syringes carrying them.
But Swissmedic said Wednesday the company had convinced it that the particles were not signs of impurities but had occurred during the vaccine manufacturing process itself.
"Such (particles) can in effect be created during the manufacturing of the vaccine, but dissolve if the syringe is used in conformity with instructions," the agency said, stressing the syringe should be lightly shaken before use.
"The security and efficiency of the vaccine are in no way weakened by these (particles) present in some syringes," it said, adding that its own labs had tested the vaccines and had confirmed their quality.

A professor of economics at New York University, Professor Yaw Nyarko, says Ghana must rethink and invest in its agricultural sector to enhance its growth prospects.
He stressed that this was critical because of the great potential of the agricultural sector.
Speaking at the Achimota Speaks Forum on Thursday, November 16, 2023, Professor Nyarko noted that “Agriculture, I think, is where a lot of potential exists.”
“…That is a place where there is great history, a place where we can get inspiration…I think it’s a place with a lot of promise. Ghana could be a place that is exceptional in agriculture, and we should think about it.”
He further indicated, for instance, that if there were national markets for other crops like maize, soya, and sorghum, revenue generation for such crops could be enhanced as it was being done for cocoa.
Professor Nyarko also stressed the need for more commodities exchange in the country, just like other countries have done.
He added that “These markets will create consistent demands. Farmers will benefit because they will get a consistent market.”

There’s nothing like having a live band play at your wedding. But when the band surprisingly turns out to be Adam Levine and Maroon 5, now that’s just epic! Maroon 5 crashed several weddings in the LA area for their new music video “Sugar”.
For more details on how they pulled this off, read this CNN article: Maroon 5 crash weddings in video for ‘Sugar’
One of the worst things that can happen to your wedding plans is to hear on short notice that your wedding reception location will have to change. In this instance, this couple had to change location to accommodate President Obama’s golf plans. Fortunately, everything still turned out well and the couple received an apology phone call from the President on their wedding day.
Here is the phone call from President Obama to the couple:
We applaud those that get creative when it comes to proposing to bride. Have you ever thought about using a crane to propose to your girlfriend through her window? Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, as reported by CNN. Fortunately, she still said yes.
We’re excited to launch our new Dittobug website design! Hoping this new design makes it EVEN EASIER and better for our couples to browse our website and make the wedding invitation ordering process as smooth as possible. In addition, our new site design is much more mobile friendly to make it easier to browse from your phone or mobile device.

What Is the Fulfillment of a Hindu Marriage?
Lesson of the Day
From The Master Course by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
Sloka 81 from Dancing with Siva
What Is the Fulfillment of a Marriage?
Children are the greatest source of happiness in marriage. Householder life is made rich and complete when sons and daughters are born, at which time the marriage becomes a family and a new generation begins. Aum.
The total fulfillment of the is children. Marriage remains incomplete until the first child is born or adopted. The birth of the first child cements the family together. At the birth itself, the community of guardian devas of the husband, wife and child are eminently present. Their collective vibration showers blessings upon the home, making of it a full place, a warm place. It is the duty of the husband and wife to become father and mother. This process begins prior to conception with prayer, meditation and a conscious desire to bring a high soul into human birth and continues with providing the best possible conditions for its upbringing. Raising several children rewards the parents and their offspring as well. Large families are more cohesive, more stable, and are encouraged within the limits of the family’s ability to care for them. Parents, along with all members of the extended family, are responsible to nurture the future generation through childhood into puberty and adulthood. The Vedas exclaim, “Blessed with sons and daughters, may they enjoy their full extent of life, decked with ornaments of gold.” Aum Namah Sivaya.
Lesson 236 from Living with Siva
Fears and Preparations
Society does not adequately explain the transitions that one goes through in life. Children are smart at the age of four, five or ten, and should be told what will happen through their whole life, as a picture book. When they are going through adolescence, the changes they experience should be explained to them. When they are forty and are experiencing the withdrawal of the vitality of the physical forces into a keenness of mind and shorter-term physical goals, this should also be explained. …please click here read more

So that it’s vital that you enlighten your self with this borrowing technique from direct payday loan providers prior to arriving at a choice.
What exactly is a primary Lender? Why borrow from Direct Payday Lenders?
A direct loan provider is a loan provider providing you with the mortgage right to you, the debtor without having a third-party financing partner getting used. Direct loan providers are separate company entities as they’re perhaps not connected with any credit unions or banking institutions.
The job is straight designed to that business. No middleman is included because of this. The procedure is faster and easier & leads to you getting a cheaper price too.

Payday loan providers rarely request security away from you. It’s incredibly unusual for them as well. Direct payday lenders mostly don’t ask for just about any security to get up to be able to get your loan. Wherefore, you won’t have concerns or worries of losing all of your assets. This is certainly in situation you’re not able to settle the mortgage.

- Have the ability to meet with the affordability checks which we and our lenders request
PM Loans won’t ask you to definitely provide a guarantor. A guarantor is someone who guarantees to pay for a borrower’s financial obligation. Guarantors behave as a co-signer because they pledge their assets or solutions. Once the debtor that is original perform their obligations this takes place because of this. Guarantors certify the real likeness of a person trying to get an item or solution too.

Finland braced for short-term rise in defaults after restricting rates of interest on loans
A new legislation coming into force on Sunday restrictions interest on customer loans to 20 per cent, making life burdensome for payday loan providers.
Credit rating gets a revamp from 1 September, whenever a brand new law restricting the expense of borrowing comes into force.
From that date loans can only just be studied away in the event that rate of interest is below 20 per cent each year. In addition, other expenses associated with loans will likely to be limited by 150 euros. Ahead of the reforms, the attention price limit has been 50 per cent on loans as high as 2,000 euros, without any limitation above that figure.
Mortgages and car and truck loans are excluded through the reform.
The aim is to reduce over-indebtedness, however in the term that is short likely to result in an increase in re payment defaults.
“Lenders won’t dare to just simply simply take such risks that are big before aided by the new lower interest levels,” stated Juha Pantzar of this Guarantee Foundation financial obligation advice charity. “consequently an individual who happens to be paying down their loans by firmly taking down ones that are new won’t get credit in future and therefore won’t be in a position to spend their bills. That may result in a rise in financial obligation dilemmas.”
That’s not always a bad thing, in accordance with Pantzar.
“Repayment time comes one in any situation, in addition to faster a financial obligation spiral may be interrupted, small the amount which should be paid back. time”
More limitations on just how? Other people, meanwhile, state the laws don’t enough go far.
Boat finance companies associated with high-risk financing state the rules that are new limit the way to obtain loans for their clients.
“Services will likely be provided to an inferior percentage of customers, and probably more applications will likely be refused, because underneath the brand new prices guidelines alleged high-risk clients can not be given loans,” stated Kim Ahola of payday lender 4Finance.
Organizations are required to answer the modifications by providing larger loans over longer repayment durations to help keep their income high.
Paula Hannula associated with the competition that is finnish Consumer Authority (Finnish acronym KKV) implies that Finland could counter this by using Sweden in restricting total expenses related to a loan, as opposed to yearly fees.
“Over there the expense of credit and commercial collection agency cannot surpass the worthiness of this loan, however very very long the repayment duration is,” stated Hannula. “Here loan providers can levy the most charges allowed every that could commit lenders to longer payment durations. 12 months”
Pantzar additionally recommends Finland generate a alleged ‘positive credit register’ which may combine loan and earnings information for loan providers to judge borrowers’ capacity to repay.
At the moment they are able to only ask a job candidate and look the register of payment defaults, and possess no real method of once you understand for certain if a job candidate has other customer loans.
At the moment some 400,000 individuals show up on the register of re re payment defaults, and so face dilemmas getting credit.
Finance committee proposes 20% rate of interest cap on pay day loans

Sentient Objects: Towards Middleware
for Mobile Context-Aware Applications
by Gregory Biegel and Vinny Cahill
Despite rapid advances in sensor technologies making a wealth of environmental data available to applications, programmer support for the development of context-aware applications remains poor. The majority of such applications are developed in an ad-hoc, application-specific manner and there is an urgent need for middleware and services to support the development of such applications. Mobile, intelligent software components known as sentient objects provide one middleware abstraction that can ease the development of mobile context-aware applications.
The recent proliferation of cheap, small, and increasingly accurate sensor technologies is creating a new information revolution where applications that interact with the physical environment are becoming widespread. This awareness of the physical environment, and its use by applications in fulfilment of their goals, is known as context-awareness and a number of promising applications have appeared which make use of context information. Context-awareness is of particular importance in mobile environments where the operating environment is constantly changing due to the mobility of devices and the characteristics of wireless communication technologies. In such environments, context-awareness can enable applications to respond intelligently to variable bandwidth, unreliable connections and the economy of different connections. One of the greatest challenges in context-aware computing, and one that has not yet been adequately addressed, is the provision of middleware and services to support the application developer. The major problem lies in providing generic support for the acquisition and use of multiple fragments of information gleaned from (potentially unreliable) multi-modal sensors in a mobile environment.
The use of context information by applications in a mobile environment poses a number of challenges arising from the distributed and dynamic nature of sensors, the accuracy and resolution of sensors, and the fusion of output of multiple sensors in order to determine context. In addition, the mobile environment poses further challenges with regard to the dependability, predictability, and timeliness of communication. Middleware is required that provides abstractions for the fusion of sensor information to determine context, representation of context, and intelligent inference. Essential services that provide support for operation in a mobile environment, such as supporting the reliability of communication, are also required.
The sentient object model defines software abstractions that ease the use of sensor information, and associated actuation, by context-aware applications. At the heart of the model is an event based communication model that permits loose coupling between objects and consequently supports mobility and application evolution. The event-based communication model includes mechanisms for the specification of constraints on the propagation and delivery of events. A sensor is a software abstraction that encapsulates a hardware sensor device and produces software events in response to real-world stimuli. An actuator consumes software events and encapsulates a physical device capable of real-world actuation. A sentient object is an entity that can both consume and produce software events, and lies in some control path between at least one sensor and one actuator.
Internally, a sentient object consists of three major functional components:
- the sensory capture component is responsible fusing the outputs of multiple sensors, and uses probabilistic models, including Bayesian networks, to deal with inherent sensor uncertainties
- the context representation component maintains a hierarchy of potential contexts in which an object can exist, and the current active context
- the inference engine component is a production rule based inference engine and supporting knowledge base, giving objects the ability to intelligently control actuation based on their context.
Sentient objects are cooperative and in addition to traditional forms of communication, the sentient object model uses stigmergic coordination, or coordination via the environment. Stigmergic coordination does not rely on direct communication between objects, say via TCP/IP, but rather depends on objects being able to sense and make changes to their physical environment. Simple rules, embedded in the inference engine, then govern actuation and consequently behaviour, according to what has been sensed from the environment. This type of coordination is extremely robust and is particularly suited to mobile environments where traditional communication channels may not always be available or economical to use.
We are developing middleware and associated services, based on the sentient object model, to support context-aware applications. Such middleware and services will ease the task of developing applications based on context perception in a number of key areas. Applications will be insulated from both the complexities of physical sensors, actuators, and associated protocols, as well as the fusion of sensor data to infer context and reduce uncertainty. The middleware will also provide a high-level rule specification language through which intelligence may be added to objects without requiring knowledge of the intricacies of a specific production rule system. Furthermore, an intuitive visual programming tool is under development that will permit the rapid development of context-aware applications.

Where do you writers out there find yourself being inspired for worldbuilds, stories, etc.?
Personally, I find I tend to start with a scene, a place, or an organization. The world seems to start building itself around those, as somewhere that the scene could happen, the place could exist, or the organization could have spawned in.
This is totally not filler because I can’t think of a post because I’m working on three world builds right now.
Totally not filler.

Son of slain Chechen rebel Maskhadov vows to continue father's work
Wednesday, March 9, 2005Chechen rebel leader , it was not clear who would take his place. His son Anzor Maskhadov, aged 29, has quickly emerged as the most likely candidate to carry on his father's work.After the recent killing of
Speaking at his home in Azerbaijan, Mr. Maskhadov told the Reuters news agency "I will continue my father's work. I have been in touch with his associates who are living abroad." He went on to describe the killing of his father as a "terrorist act" planned by the Russian authorities.,
The Chechnya area of Russia has effectively been at war with Russia for much of the past decade: pro-independence guerrilla groups are faced by Russian regular army and special police forces. Numerous crimes against civilians and human rights infringement incidents reported in the area, involving both Russian army and rebel groups.
Late President Maskhadov was considered a moderate pro-independence Chechen leader, in contrast with. He made numerous negotiations offers, all of them left unanswered by the . With Russian forces nominally controlling most of the Chechnya, his ability to control Chechen warlords was being questioned, though he reportedly managed to maintain lateral cease-fire in most parts of Chechnya shortly before his death.
Maskhadov was the last publicly elected leader of the self-proclaimed Republic of Ichkeria. It's first elected president, FSB in the 1990s.was killed in the sophisticated special forces operation of Russia's
Russian state run-media and MPs hailed the killing of Mr. Maskhadov — many believing his rebels were responsible for theand the in 2004.
Russian government took the hard-line position against Chechen rebels, denying any negotiations with the rebels after hostage takings and bomb explosions in Moscow ( ), downed airliners, hostage taking in and other terrorist acts attributed to Chechen rebel groups. In many cases, Chechen groups claimed responsibility for these acts. Maskhadov denied any involvement in terrorist acts. According to Russian government's point of view, the war in Chechnya is merely a 'counter-terrorist operation' with an objective to 'restore the constitutional order'.

Milling a large radius on a milling machine does not have to be limited by the size of the rotary table.
When tilting the head of the mill with a large cutter, be it a boring bar, fly cutter etc, the resulting cut is an ellipsis. This technique has been used for a long time by machinists before PC’s, CNC’s and other technological aids made their appearance in the industry.
The problem (or not 🙂 depending on the specifications tolerances) with the existing literature (such as the Machinery’s Handbook and others) is that the formula being used assumes that the desired width of said large radius is 0!
The following calculator averages the angle required to accommodate the width as well to provide a better approximation. By using the following calculator you can approximate a true circle radius with an accuracy of few microns.
The goal of this project was for the automated focusing system to have great holding torque (80Ncm) for heavy image trains (4-5kg) and very fine steps to accommodate the super tight FSQ106 critical focus zone.
The formula to calculate the critical focus zone on a telescope is : CFZ = Focal Ratio * Focal Ratio * 2.2 For the FSQ106ED we have : CFZ = 5 * 5 * 2.2 = 55microns So to be able to have perfect focus achieved we need every step on the motor to be 55microns or less for even better resolution.
The motor used on this build is geared and has a reduction of 250:3 which gives us 4000 steps per revolution.
One full revolution on the focuser coarse knob (where we are coupling our motor) makes the focuser move 29.8mm. Now we have all the data we can do the maths 😛 (29.8mm * 1000) / 4000 = 7.45 microns per step.
The actual resolution achieved with this build is 7.45 microns per motor step!
Having bought a lathe for various DIY projects back in 2015, i quickly discovered the need to cut some unusual thread pitches (Astronomy adapters in particular have some of the weirdest out there).
The lathe manual (or the housing of the transmission system :D) , usually provides some information regarding the gearing for the most used ones, such as 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1mm and so forth.
But nothing for lets say an M42x0.75 adapter widely used in photography and astronomy!
While looking through the web in 2016 for a lathe gear calculator there was none to be found, that took into consideration the spindle to gear A ratio.
The spindle in this specific lathe (and many other brands from what i have read ) has a ratio of 4.5 turns. So in order for gear A to make a full turn the spindle makes 4.5 turns.
Without this number the usual quadrant calculations for gearing lathes, obviously fails and your thread pitches are not what you have expected at all 😛
Here is a very crude calculator for finding out possible, combinations of gears in a metric lathe (that is, a lathe with a metric leadscrew although it can cut some imperial threads by approximation), in order to produce the desired pitch when cutting threads!
Do note that some of the produced combinations, are not feasible at all for the time being, but I will upgrade it when time permits.

Have a few minutes: clear the sewer grates on your block
If you have a few minutes, one of the things you can do is clear any debris on and around the sewer grates on your block. Hoboken is going to need all the help it can get.
After tonight, don’t put out any garbage as through the weekend, it will get blown around and may find its way into sewer systems making things worse.
Horse Sense is concerned more with the high tides and the surging waters that are going to make for a lot of misery, especially in low lying areas.
Last chance to get yourselves or at least your cars out. After 8:00 pm tomorrow, Hoboken streets are locked down!
Talking Ed Note: If you’ve battened down the hatches and are good to go, consider joining the group of volunteers tomorrow meeting 8:00 at Hoboken City Hall at City Council Chambers. Brings a fully charged mobile phone and a phone charger.
Couple of folks tipped MSV off Hoboken411 is still having its usual hissy fit and not providing an iota of City information to residents made available by the mayor and City Hall. What else is new? The second rate website can’t get over it’s backing Beth Mason for mayor and those crushing defeats at the hands of Hoboken voters. Many folks have left that site for good and moved on to better places like H-mag and thebokenonline.com. The latter surpassed Hoboken411 in US visitors. Thousands of residents have gotten critical updates there from the city and of course here at MSV.
MSV will be staying online with or without electricity! So bring it on Irene.

Here is the kitchen:Here is the Dining Room/Kitchen View 1:The sliding glass door leads to the back yard. The whole downstairs has the brown ceramic tile which I love. Except for my office space which has carpet. Here is Dining Room/Kitchen View 2:The white door leads into the laundry room which also leads to the garage. I really like that I have a laundry room instead of a closet and that the garage leads right into the kitchen for a change. The far door on the right is my walk in pantry, which I love also. Behind the dining room is the living room. It's like one big long room. I am not done with it yet so you will have to wait for pics on that. I have to get a area rug and a couple of lamps and then I can take the pics. Terry also put up the shelves in my studio space so I will be working on my room tonight and tomorrow. Stay tuned for more pics! I am loving this house! Who knows, maybe we will buy it!
Ok sisters (and anyone else who cares), here are some pictures of parts of the new place. I am taking them as I get the rooms complete. So today, Terry mowed the lawn and made it pretty. Here it is:It's back yard is HUGE compared to the other house. In the other house the pool was right off the patio and now it's in the back. I love it! Missy likes all the space too. She likes to jump up on the back ledge and look out over the yard like she is lord and master! LOL

Weekly Photo Challenge – THANKFUL
In Sweden we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. But I think that everyone should do it anyway, it’s a beautiful feast.
I am thankful for so endlessly many things. My two sons, my wonderful friends, my dogs, that it is so beautiful where I live, etc. etc..
But the basis for all this is still our Mother Earth.
The air we breathe, the sun that shines on us and brings life, water that makes that every living creature can exist.
Most of this can be seen in this humble little beautiful flower.
The blue behind her is heaven.
The film I used is Kodak Ektachrome 100VS.
The image is completely unedited, only cropped to the correct size, and a little dust removal.
We should be thankful every day!
Enjoy, and be thankful for your life.

The game will be based around the TARDIS with players exploring the famous blue box and visiting rooms created specially for the game, such as the Doctor's drawing room, full of treasures from his many adventures.
Lead Writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, told the official Doctor Who website
Since 1963, kids have wondered what it would be like to control the TARDIS. Now we're handing complete control of the most powerful ship in all of space and time to a generation of children. Everybody duck. TARDIS is a brilliant, brilliant adventure. It's funny, touching, terrifying, amazing - everything a Doctor Who episode should be.
The game features the voices of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan and is executive produced by Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger, Beth Willis and Anwen Aspden from BBC Wales Interactive, alongside Charles Cecil. Music is by Murray Gold and TARDIS is written by James Moran, who wrote the Tenth Doctor story The Fires of Pompeii.
UK players will be able to download the game free of charge from the BBC official site. Users outside the UK will be able to purchase and download the game from Direct2Drive.

The Irish Laboratory Awards acknowledges excellence and achievement in the laboratory environment, covering management, innovation, collaboration, personnel development and laboratory equipment supply.
The winners were revealed at a ceremony 19 April at Ballsbridge Hotel in Dublin. An independent panel of recognised and expert judges, representing Ireland's scientific sector, determined the 2018 winners.
Judges granted the award to the company for excellence demonstrated within BioClin Labs and Almac Sciences’ enzyme technology development research programme, demonstrating its uncommon advantages in the marketplace, in particular how Almac’s people and operational ability are critical to its global growth. Five additional companies were finalists for each category, as part of more than a hundred nominees competing for twenty-two individual category awards.
Stephen Barr, President and Managing Director, Almac Sciences, said: “I am proud of our employees who work daily to provide unparalleled service to our customers and clients throughout the world. This award serves to highlight our team’s dedication and commitment to quality and also showcases our diverse ability to deliver pharmaceutical, bio science and laboratory supplier services to the industry.”
Launched in 2013, The Irish Laboratory Awards has established itself as the premier event in Ireland for benchmarking those that demonstrate excellence, best practice and innovation in Ireland’s laboratories.
These awards are an opportunity to showcase a company’s extensive knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise in the industry.

What do you get when an award-winning jewelry designer creates a decor line? Essentially, jewelry for your home. Jennifer Fisher teamed up with CB2 for a range of furniture and accent pieces—and with so many beautiful marble items in the mix, even the tiny trinkets feel luxurious.
The swirly stone is certainly having a moment beyond the kitchen where it’s usually found: We spotted it in pastel form on the runways of New York Fashion Week (looking at you, Ulla Johnson), and our editor-in-chief recently called out high-contrast versions in her Chairish collection.
Although CB2 and Fisher’s take is neutral in tone, the pieces are nonetheless showstopping. There are large tables meant to anchor a living or dining room—even a black option that doubles as a ping-pong table for what will undoubtedly be the most opulent game you will ever play. The smaller items are equally elevated. Whether decorative tchotchkes like chain-link objets, trivets, or even light fixtures, the accessories in the collection really shine. How often do you come across a full-on marble sconce? We rest our case.

As I said in my last post, Chuck and I had the privilege to take a group of High School students from our Church to Pigeon Forge last weekend. The topic of our conference was "Ask Anything". We had some good questions from different students that attended. Questions that pertained to dating, college, missions, even persecution for being a Christian. We had a total of three sessions and spent a lot of time in discussion and answering questions from a biblical point of view. There were answers to questions and even closure for some hurting. I have to say that I love each one of these students that went with us, and I would go anywhere with them. We really have a great group, and have never had any trouble with them. God has truly blessed our Church with these students. It is a blessing to be able to work with them.
Since this was also the weekend of Valentine's Day, and these gal's and guy were away from home, Chuck and I decided that we would do a little something for them. We left the cabin for just a little while on Saturday morning (Mrs. Kathy and Mr. Alan were there with the students) and found this neat little bakery just down the road from our cabin. It was the Wildflower Bake Shop & Boutique. We went in and looked to see what all they had in way of a cake to feed eleven of us. They didn't have anything baked that we were looking for, so we asked if they could bake one for us that day. The sweet ladies there said yes that they could and it would be ready around 3:00 p.m. So we placed our order for a white cake with vanilla icing and decorated for Valentines. We were not disappointed with the turnout of this cake. I do have to say that it was one of the best cakes that I have ever eaten. Thank you ladies at the Wildflower Bake Shop & Boutique.
On Sunday afternoon we went into Gatlinburg, (where we were going to go tubing in the snow, but the sessions were booked) we walked around and visited the shops there and ate dinner. Then we went to Cooter's Place to ride the Go-Karts and play some miniature golf.
Needless to say, we all had a great time. It was so good to get to know each of the students better. I was able to have some good conversations with the girls. They opened up and shared with me some of the things that they are going through at school, with friends, and even with people that don't like them. I thank God for this opportunity that I had to spend with them.

Well! We are so far into this little project that I can no longer
post about anything else!
I just have to give you the update and the ugly truth.
SO! Here we go!
For years, actually since shortly after moving into our home in
2003, I have wanted to make some major changes to our kitchen.
We always had plans, but something always came up. This year
is it. It needs to be done and there is just no more putting it off.
I really do like the floor plan and appliance set up. And the appliances we have
kept updated as needed. However, the cabinets and counters left a lot to be
desired. And further, have only gotten worse, no matter how much I "add"
to the decor.
I have drooled and dreamed over the same style of kitchen for years!
I you look at my Pinterest pages you will see a lot of this:
And even this...
So now I'm sure you know the update.
But here's the ugly truth:
This is what the kitchen looked like after "moving out".
Then at the beginning of this week, less the cabinets.
And currently with the base cabinets in.
Real purty! huh?
Stay tuned for more!

A boy writes a letter to his grandfather, asking him to share the rich culture and values that he grew up with.
A Letter To My Grandfather
© Sandra I. Sandoval
I need your culture to survive.
This environment confuses me.
I feel a deep hallow in my soul;
I'm losing my language and my identity.
Teach me your games and songs;
Tell me your stories and legends.
I need your valuable heritage rich with values.
Explain to me the Mexican sayings;
Dance with me 'El Jarabe Tapatio';
Let's sing together 'Cielito Lindo!'
Open your wardrobe (armoire)
I want to dress like a true Mexican Charro!
Give me with your heritage, your culture.
Show me your experiences,
When you were a kid and use to play
With the spinning top and the colorful marbles.
Take my hand.
Don't let me grow without identity,
Without your culture,
