National Skills, or I can say, are the national achievements of the people of the UAE, the sons of the UAE, who were nurtured by our wise leadership and gave them all the attention and support by providing excellent education at all levels, and provided them with training opportunities and upgrading their skills. The improvement and development of youth skills in various aspects of economic activities, especially in vital fields, which are basic and daily needs such as electricity and maintenance of cars and aircraft, and advanced technological and scientific skills is today a key part in the development of human resources.
At a time when our dear country is witnessing the great industrial revolution. The competition has its role in meeting the requirements and objectives of Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 and the State Strategic Plan 2021.
Launching the Sheikha Fatima Global Humanitarian Campaign “Provide Medical Treatment,” for the treatment of women and children in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan, India, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, and Pakistan. The initiative is part of the Fatima bint Mubarak Volunteering Programme and supervised by young Emirati doctors to provide the best diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive services for women and children.
The campaign aims to ease the suffering of women and children under a voluntary framework and human umbrella, regardless of color, race or religion and in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, may Allah protect him.
With the support and sponsorship of the “Mother of the Nation”, the “UAE Inculcation Initiative” has been launched. The initiative, a modern educational project supervised by the Ministry of Education, is an unprecedented qualitative leap for the productive and sustainable school environment, with emphasis on maintaining a smart environment. The project is also part of the Year of Giving initiative, embodying the modern concept of moral education, with the aim of inculcating it in students.
The initiative under the moto of “UAE Inculcation by the hands of the Mother of the Nation” targets public schools with sufficient spaces, and will include areas dedicated to water agriculture, marine environment, gardening and indigenous UAE plants.
The initiative contributes to establishing the concept of moral education among students by utilizing gardens in their schools. It is also an effective tool in supporting the efforts of the Ministry of Education to implant noble values in students. Its goals, furthermore, are connected with the goals of the school curricula that aim to inculcate the intrinsic educational and academic concepts in students’ behavior, performance and future direction, in addition to implanting the values of responsibility, work, production and giving.
The initiative is the first of its kind and aims to establish the culture of voluntary work and humanitarian giving among women and children, both locally and internationally, by adopting initiatives to attract, train and build the capabilities of women and children, and enable them to participate in voluntary work.
The Fatima bint Mubarak Voluntary Programme focuses on the four pillars of thought, ability, empowerment and giving. It includes launching several initiatives that effectively contribute to developing the skills of women and children and enable them to take part in voluntary work through organizing summits, launching a program to enhance their abilities, and creating an award for women and children in the area of voluntary work.
The program will also launch an international campaign to invest in the efforts of women and children in the sectors of health, education, culture and the environment, as well as in other initiatives that will help to achieve a sustainable community and economic development.

The Carey Pensions case could have a huge effect on Sipp operators and put pressure on current regulation by changing the way rules are applied retrospectively.
As companies continue to value costs over customers, clients are often left to fend for themselves.
The dramatic pension freedoms introduced in 2015 have the ability to transform retirement possibilities – with effective management.
Comment: Salisbury, Sipps and a return to the golden age?
Conventional annuities may be poor value but pension freedoms will not deliver something safe without sound financial planning.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him.
'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar (radiallahanho): Le Messager d'Allah dit: «Le musulman qui possède un objet sujet au testament n'a pas le droit de passer deux nuits [consécutives] sans que son testament ne soit écrit avec lui.» Rapporté aussi par Muhammad ibn Muslim, et ce de 'Amrû, d'ibn 'Umar, du Prophète .
(The brother of the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Juwaira bint Al-Harith) When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, he did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (i.e. money), a slave or a slave woman or anything else except his white mule, his arms and a piece of land which he had given in charity .
I asked `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa Did the Prophet (ﷺ) make a will? He replied, No, I asked him, How is it then that the making of a will has been enjoined on people, (or that they are ordered to make a will)? He replied, The Prophet (ﷺ) bequeathed Allah's Book (i.e. Qur'an).
In the presence of `Aisha some people mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) had appointed `Ali by will as his successor. `Aisha said, When did he appoint him by will? Verily when he died he was resting against my chest (or said: in my lap) and he asked for a wash-basin and then collapsed while in that state, and I could not even perceive that he had died, so when did he appoint him by will?

Philanthropy in Education: Philanthropic Investors can make a difference.
Zane provides a discrete education philanthropy support and advisory service for philanthropic and business investors that have an interest in wanting to make a difference for future generations of our young people. Education can one of the most effective and fulfilling ways to make that difference especially where the under-privileged and special needs are involved.
However many investors or philanthropists are either unsure how best to go about doing that, or they simply do not have the time themselves. If you are one of those individuals, Zane can help.
Zane has the 20+ year involvement and track record in education and online learning that enables us to understand how and where that investment will have the greatest effect and bring the greatest benefits.
Philanthropic investment in education can be the key to many young students receiving the education they need.
Often we do not charge for the philanthropic advisory services we provide because we share your aims and ambitions and prefer to see investment made where it will do the most good. Whenever we are approached to provide these specialist support and advisory services, we examine each proposal on it’s own merits and make a decision accordingly.
We are able to work discretely with those philanthropists and philanthropic investors that have a desire to maintain their anonymity. We can also work with those that appreciate some recognition for their efforts.
Philanthropy and education have the potential to work hand in hand to accomplish the greatest miracles. However that is only possible in the real world where the consultants providing the advisory and support services, share the same vision – and have the relevant track record and experience in education.
If you are interested in Education Philanthropy or require any further information about the services we provide, then please feel free to contact us using our Contact Page to arrange a discreet introductory conversation with our CEO, Nicholas Tee.

This was the second single released from Canadian rock band Billy Talent's fourth studio album, Billy Talent III.
Vocalist Ben Kowalewicz told Kerrang! May 30, 2009: "Nowadays, I'm seeing a lot of people who got married young are now getting divorced. It seems to be a new fad. Divorce is the new black. People get their life together. They've got their house, the car, the dog, the nice TV and all these things. They've made you feel good and confident and happy. Now, all of a sudden, everything is destroyed and you're fighting over the couches and who gets the TV. Everything you have ends up in a scrap yard is broken and tarnished. Eventually, if you spend enough time in that mindset, you become the mother of your environment."

Baahubali Prabhas Marriage Date Declared, to Marry This Lucky Actress!
Hyderabad: In this decade of big shot weddings, marriage of ‘Baahubali’ Prabhas is the most awaited one and rumours of the Darling has been making rounds since years.
With the release of ‘Baahubali’, the star turned out to be an icon of action and grandeur in film industry. Since then people have fallen in love with his character and address him by the same.
In a bid to turn reel to real, fans have been wishing for Prabhas’s hook up with the female protagonist of the movie, ‘Anushka Shetty’. Yet, the pair put these speculations to rest and confirmed that they are just ‘good friends’.
On the other hand, Prabhas’s uncle Krishnamraju had earlier declared publicly that Prabhas will be marrying after the completion of Baahubali’s prequel. Although the star has not met his uncle’s said deadline, it is speculated that the star will tie the knot after the release of his much awaited movie, ‘Saaho’ in August this year.
It is said that Prabhas is making the decision as his mother wants him to marry soon.
“He wanted to settle down after Baahubali was completed and he even informed his family, but then Saaho happened. He had to put in a lot of effort and time in the film, so once again he postponed his marriage plans and might think about it after Saaho is completed. It’s all because his mom is pressurising him to settle down, “said, a close source to his family to a Hyderabad daily.
Besides, Prabhas has been linked with the likes of daughters of actor and industrialists in past but those were all just rumours.
But seems, the wait of millions of fans of the Rebel star is over now. So, let us find out the date and who would supposedly be the ‘lucky’ girl to walk down the aisle with the Baahubali.
We know you are eager to know the date of Prabhas marriage and the girl he will marry, but dear readers, sorry for the inconvenience, it’s 1st of April and you know what it all means… So, it’s just a ‘April Fool Prank’. But hope the Darling of millions will soon tie the knot and of course whoever he chooses will be the luckiest girl. Have a Good Day!!

This season of The Bachelor in Paradise is already facing its first scandal – with Alex Nation admitting she was tricked by producers into appearing on the show with her ex, Richie Strahan.
LISTEN TO THE TAPE BELOW!
Following a series of allegations that the just-finished Married at First Sight was a manipulative con, Ten’s new dating show is already copping some serious shade from Alex. Speaking to 90.9 Sea FM’s Heather, Dan & Ben show, Alex was holding nothing back.
"They actually told me that Richie declined three times," Alex said, when asked if she knew her former love was likely to appear.
Speaking of the moment she is shown reacting with surprise about the presence of her ex, Alex was asked if it was all a big ‘stich up’.
"That is the moment I clocked him," she recalled. "They said I was in the clear."
"I said I didn’t want to see him again on those terms and in that kind of environment, and they said he’s declined, we don’t think he’s interested.
Asked if she felt she had been lied to by producers, Alex indicated she believed that they may have deceived her.
"It is disappointing and I can only trust that it was a 48-hour turnaround. But I suppose at the end of the day they’re trying to make a TV show.
"And I thought if they knew they could lock me in, if they could lock him in as well that was gold for them."
The show, which begins tonight on Ten, has been heavily promoting the pair’s showdown.

The US Attorney General has issued an order authorizing the forfeiture of property whenever there is conduct that is in violation of federal law more frequently than is currently being done in order to deter criminal activity. From 2007 to 2016, the DEA collected $3.2 billion from civil asset forfeiture.
Civil asset forfeiture is a practice in the US and Canada that allows law enforcement to seize cash and property suspected of being connected to criminal activity. The property owner does not have to be convicted or even charged with a crime to have his or her property seized and forfeited by the government. In the US, local law enforcement agencies can keep 80% of the assets forfeited. Law enforcement has long advocated for increased forfeiture as the only effective tool to combat transnational criminal organizations.

Many-core processors offer massively parallel computation power representing a good opportunity for the design of highly integrated avionics systems. Such designs must face several challenges among which 1) temporal isolation must be ensured between applications and 2) bounds of WCET must be computed for real-time safety critical applications. In order to partially address those issues, we propose an appropriate execution model, that restricts the applications behaviours, which has been implemented on the Kalray MPPA-256. We tested the correctness of the approach through a series of benchmarks and the implementation of a case study.

2012 presented ideal growing conditions delivering a wine of supple power and elegance. An inviting bouquet of black currants, brown sugar and pipe tobacco lead to a lively and fresh palate of black currants and pomegranate, followed by black tea, clove and blackberry. The savory and sweet flavors of anise and black licorice whirl alongside black raspberries for an enduring and memorable finish.
90+ Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The 2012 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon is made from a selection of six and seven year old vines and yielded less than two tons per acre. Fruit was hand-harvested over six days in October and vinified separately into nine different lots. Clusters were hand sorted during picking and again at the winery, then fruit was destemmed and allowed to soak on the skins for four days prior to wild yeast fermentation. Juice was pumped over twice each day during fermentation and macerated on the skins for a total of 38 days before being pressed into French Oak barrels where it also underwent malolactic fermentation. Aged 18 months, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

One of the truest statements in life, "you get what you pay for"
LOL. Every tattooist should have that posted on their wall with a sliding scale below - starting at $150/hr on the left and going down to $20/hr on the right.
Absolutely...the pride of quality work and the relationship with the artist last long after the price of great work and a tip.
You should have an idea of the cost up front, how many sessions, rate, etc. I have saved up for many tattoos $10 and $20 here and there. I even junked an old car to pay for one in 2008.
If you want to establish a relationship with an artist do your homework and inquire as to price. Do not argue. Save up or look somewhere else.
Yes, Debra.. It is the longest term investment on earth.. Save your money, or don't get a tattoo.

Vincent Jourdain, like the rest of us, stopped being knocked for a loop a long time ago.
“Yes and no,’‘ replies Canada’s Road Cycling Team head coach, asked if Clara Hughes’ stunning return to competitive international cycling has in any way taken him aback. “This is Clara, remember. Everybody knows Clara. The kind of athlete she is.
“Switching back to cycling for her is not a problem. Over the years, during her preparation for speedskating, she was always cycling. So she never totally quit. She was always using her bike as a tool for training. For her, now it’s just back to normal.
Tucked high in the Andes, at Medellin, Colombia, on the weekend, the 38-year-old Hughes beat a strong field to win both the time trial and the 96-kilometre road race at the UCI Pan American Championships. Mere months after hanging up her long blades and hopping back on a bike.
“The time trial, being honest, I was expecting to see that based on her performance at the Tour of Gila in the States last weekend,’‘ says Jourdain. “But the road race . . . she got on the breakaway after seven or eight kilometres (of 96 km) with another rider. But she was way stronger, so basically she did the whole race in front, by herself.
“That’s hard, at any time. “Plus, it was super-hot, there was altitude and she cramped up. So it was not easy. But Clara’s so determined, she just doesn’t back down. Technically she’s always been really good on the bike. Now she’s even better. She’s a more mature, knowledgeable athlete. If I can make a comparison, she’s like a good wine -way better than she was.
From a coaching perspective, Jourdain couldn’t be happier. Not only has he added a magnificent athlete to his developing team, but someone of indisputable achievement willing to mentor.
There isn’t a whole lot Clara Hughes hasn’t accomplished during her athletic career. A podium placing in London might just be the capper. But with her, who can predict?

New York's highest court is now considering whether the state's strong shield law will apply to a Fox News reporter subpoenaed to testify in a Colorado court about her confidential sources in the James Holmes theater shooting case.
Reporter Jana Winter, who lives and works in New York, went before the New York Court of Appeals on Tuesday to fight the subpoena requested by Holmes' attorneys ordering her to reveal her sources in an exclusive story she published in 2012 about a notebook belonging to the alleged gunman. The subpoena was issued in Colorado but had to be served on Winter in New York, and the New York shield law provides greater protection for reporters than the Colorado law does. Winter is arguing that the New York courts should apply New York's protections.
"It doesn't matter where the communication took place," Winter's attorney, Christopher Handman, told FoxNews.com after the hearing. "New York's shield law is designed to protect New York journalists when they report on matters of public concern throughout the nation."
The Reporters Committee wrote in a friend-of-the-court brief in August that the court was wrong not to consider New York's shield law when it applied to serving subpoena requests from out-of-state. The Reporters Committee had also filed an affidavit in support of Winter before the Colorado court.

Working with forms in Laravel 4 is really fun and there is hardly any PHP application which doesn’t have a form. So, in this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create a simple registration form using the Laravel’s form library. Then we will validate the data when the form is submitted. We will use the validation library which comes with Laravel 4 out of the box and also our custom validation rule.
For this tutorial, I will create a simple registration form. It will have an email address, first name, last name and the password field. Then we will post the data and first run the Laravel 4’s Validator to check the post data. If the data is wrong then the form will re-populate with the old data and also with error messages that we want to show the end user. And if the validation is successful, then we will save the data. But I will only show a success message and not save anything.
The controller has two functions. You can check the routes.php file to know the URLs and also the reference to the controller and their respective function. The first one is just returning the view file which has the form, nothing more than that.
The second function is the function which is handling the post data, the validation and then doing the save. As it’s just a tutorial, I will not write the save part but I am sure that’s not a big deal.
After getting all post variable inside $postData, I have created an array $messages which contains the entire custom message for each field’s validation. The format is simple; the key should have the field name then a dot and then the validation. And if you have two validation rule running on one field like the cpassword (confirm password) field, then you need to should add two entries. You can check line number 17,18 in the code above.
Then I created another array with the rules. Each key here represents the field and the value is the validation rules. If there are multiple, then you can separate them using “|”.
Then we send the post data, rule and the message array to the Validator’s make function and if the validation fails then we redirect the user to the form again with the old inputs and the error messages. Also I am using a custom helper function GlobalHelper::setMessage where I am using the session to set messages to user and display them. When the validation fails, I am sending a warning message. And when the validation is passed, I send a save and success message to the user.
If you check the rules array inside the controller (line number 26) you will see that I have used a custom validation rule “Matchpass”. Basically, this is checking if the password field and the confirm password field are the same. I am sending the password data to the validation function as an attribute. I have created a class for validation inside helpers function. Now for Laravel 4 to know that the class is inside the helper folder, we need to make a few changes. First, we add an entry in the composer.json file. You can check mine at line number 19. I have added “app/helpers” folder there. This helpers Laravel know that the folder contains class files.
Inside this, I am getting the confirm password as $value and the password field data is coming as a parameter. I check here if the two are same and return if true. Once this is done, we tell Laravel about the new rule by adding this piece of code in global.php.

New Music Seminar is right around the corner! The NYC conference will be held June 8 – 10 at the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel.
The full schedule is available here and it’s pretty fantastic all around, but I wanted to share my picks for highlights of the conference. Say hi if you see me at one of these great panels!
The Artist is a Business (3-4 pm) – Learning how to run your business (and yes, being an artist is definitely a business) from business managers. I hope there are talks of numbers – budgeting and tax concerns – and organization. Not the sexiest of topics but a must-see for artists and other creatives who are unsure of how to manage their business.
CLE: The Legal Big Four (4:30 – 5:30 pm) – Of course most of the CLE’s are on my list but this one should give a great overview of basic artist agreements.
Independent Labels Coming to Power (3 – 4:14 pm) – Indie labels give themselves a (much deserved) pat on the back and discuss why they may be a better choice for artists than the majors. Panelists are from WindUp Records, Razor & Tie, Mom + Pop Records, S-Curve Music, and Domino, among others.
Women in Music Meetup (4:15 – 5:15 pm) – Round table discussion on how we can recognize and encourage female leaders in the music industry.
Label Heads: The Gamblers (5:15 – 6:30 pm) – Since we’ve already heard from the indies earlier that day, I think it makes sense to give the majors a little attention. Label heads from Lava, RCA, Republic, Atlantic, Entertainment One, and Warner will discuss how they making signing decisions.
CLE: The Music Publishers Movement (10:30 – 11:45 am) – This should be a high level discussion of the impact of technology and globalization on the music publishing industry.
NMS Intensive: Will Page, Director of Economics at Spotify (12:25 – 12:45 pm) – The topic of this quick talk isn’t clear from the program, but I’m hoping he’ll touch upon trends in streaming royalties.
The Venture Capitalist, The Banker, The Record Company, The Music Publisher: Reexamining the business models for the music industry (12:45 – 2:00 pm) – The very length title of this panel speaks for itself. I’m eager to hear words of wisdom from VCs and a banker on how to develop music company and structure deals and partnerships.
Music Distribution in Transition (5:15 – 6:30 pm) – The distribution company is evolving and emerging as a major player in the music world, as artists now often go direct to digital distribution companies and the distribution companies increasingly offer services outside of their traditional role.
There are also New Music Nights featuring NMS Artist on the Verge Performers and other acts. The Festival Schedule is available here. The NMS opening party is Sunday, June 8th @ Webster Hall.

One photograph in the Weeknight Dinners series by Lois Bielefeld. This series is a part of the Portrait Society Gallery's current exhibitionm "Homely (part two)."
The proposition reads like a riddle.
Sofas, lamps and drapes? Or bizarre family histories, wistful nostalgia, failed first steps, unmet social progress, public permanence, private impermanence and enduring aspirations?
The current exhibition “Homely (part two)” at the Portrait Society Gallery takes a stab at those impossible questions with a curatorial tidiness that, as with most homes, superficially belies the chaotic uniqueness of the stories inevitably loosed when the shades are undrawn.
From her series Weeknight Dinners, Lois Bielefeld’s photographs in the main gallery capture families in a variety of casual dinner settings. Their polish and crispness hint at some level of choreography, and indeed the actual experiences with theatrical embellishment. In their orchestration and repetition, the array of prosaic diners feels a little like a general index of various American dinner rituals: some kind of pictorial supper liturgy.
James Hagner’s nearby installation of grocery store shopping lists appears hilariously uncooked in the shadow of Bielefeld’s slightly more boiled stills. The work is simply an arrangement of papers he’s accumulated over the years as a grocery clerk. Where it sacrifices metaphor, it gains indexical presence. Like an exquisite fossil, it simply tells us what happened, and that’s enough. Collectively his lists retain a strange residual energy from the individuals who left them behind. They also remind us that handwriting is increasingly rare, exceedingly beautiful and often used in the absence of smart devices to spell the names of many groceries incorrectly.
Journalist Erin Richards and photojournalist Angela Peterson have collaborated on a long-term project investigating the effects of housing instability on academic performance. Housing Instability and our Schools traces struggles in the lives of teenagers Donovin Harris and Rayshon Sykes leading up to their high school graduations. Their research lives in this show as a photo essay, though Richards will cover the subject further in a series of features in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this fall.
Richards and Peterson summarize a general social condition by using particular photographs of two flesh-and-blood teenagers. Knowing the teens’ stories, we empathize, though “knowing their stories,” is crucial here as the photo alone don’t quite capture the depths of their backstories.
One wonders how much more impact an image of an individual has over a statistic or an inanimate symbol. How many unspeakable truths go unnoticed because we have only numbers or artifacts to confirm the occurrence of a traumatic event? Some might favor the weightiness and depth of documentary over more symbolic communication: the power of the literal over the metaphorical. Yet somehow, the saddest and most pathetic sequence in the show is a series of photographs from a company tasked with evicting people from their homes. There are no faces, no names. Only a few personal items left behind, and an eerie set of numbers in the lower right corner of each photograph indicating the time and date of the event for reference. Like Hagner’s grocery lists, the absence of presence here may be more moving than absence or presence alone. It makes one wonder if we have a natural drive to connect with such impressions. Think of the handprints at Chauvet cave, or the final scrawled letters “C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N” left by the colonists of Roanoke.
Just food for thought. Obviously, documentary and symbolic communication each have their place and will endure as separate tools for seeking answers. As for “Homely (part two),” it arrives at a still greater point about the purposes and methods of visual communication, and credit goes to Deb Brehmer . Curatorially she has taken the term “home,” dismantled and exploded it. Complex ideas naturally want to consolidate into stereotypes, and it’s the job of any socially minded creative to frustrate this tendency. “Home” may not be as high as some on a list of terms demanding semantic deconstruction, but it’s the process that’s the point. And Brehmer proceeds by reminding us of the countless social, economic and personal perspectives that can take a solid house and make it a fluid home.

Why do I Want to Hide from the World?
When you’re sick or something monumental happens to you, and it doesn’t seem as though there’s any direct way through what we’re experiencing, something inside us shuts down.
We’re unable to cope with something using the same skills and resources we used in the past, so we freak out and feel the need to pull ourselves away.
Whether out of shame, inferiority, regret, embarrassment, guilt, self-loathing or a combination of all of them(!), we automatically think that we’ll just be able to think away out of it and ‘see how it goes’. It becomes a hell of a lot easier to keep our insecurities to ourselves, because we can’t be 100% sure how others are going to react to what we’re going through. We’re terrified that we’ll be seen as totally messed up, fucked up and pathetic. Ironically this is how we feel inside at the time, but we’re so insecure about others knowing this that we slide into the need and want to hide from the world.
What does hiding look like?
Not wanting to go out without a full face of make-up on. I want to hide my flaws and imperfections.
Not admitting to someone how you really feel, so when you really do express it, you spit it out at them and it comes out as anger.
I hid during my illness out of shame.
Shame for the fact that I wasn’t at work, as a ‘normal’ person should be.
Shame that maybe I was having too much down-time while everyone else was grafting away at work.
Shame at being off (again), because I’m still not fully understanding the lesson behind my hip injury.
Every time I hear my neighbour come out of their house and hear the gate go at the moment, I know that there’s no way in hell I’m stepping outside any time soon. I was about to head out for my daily walk the other day, but I hid behind the door for 5 minutes until I heard them drive away.
Because I’m ashamed that I’m having to take time off again, and truly, if anyone asks me when I’m going back to work anytime soon, I think I’ll burst into tears.
Clearly, all of this is coming up now for a reason.
I haven’t been stepping into my power recently. I need to dive into some big, big chakra two stuff and all I want to do at the moment is meditate my little self senseless. I’ve been feeling this sense power a lot recently in kundalini yoga sessions, and it’s pulling me with everything it has.
Do not be afraid of your power my love. This is your life-force, your energy, your birthright. This is pure creation and what the world revolves and spins on. Stepping into it is terrifying, especially if we’ve spent our whole life running from it, but taking small steps and sitting in stillness is sometimes all we need.
We can’t keep hiding behind doors forever.
Your light deserves to be seen.
(P.S. If you’d love to reach out to someone who really understands what you’re going through, I’d love to encourage you to dive into the CFS Collective, launching next week. Understanding, compassion and love cannot stand in the face of secrecy and fear).

2019 Lexus NX 300H Colors, Release Date, Redesign, Price – The 2019 Lexus NX 300H will probably be up-to-date for the 2019 model years. The most notable changes include little changes to the exterior and interior, a changed suspensions system and the add-on of Lexus Safety System. On the exterior, the NX will be a whole lot like the recent model. Nonetheless, a much closer show up reveals a far more highly processed location of the vehicle’s spindle grille and a sleek-searching hood. The front lights have been elevated with a triple projector design affected by the new LC 500.

Creation of the 2019 model has not been declared, but we predict no changes at the moment to the present model’s 194 hp combined system creation. Nevertheless, an up-to-date revocation system encouraged by the LC coupe will offer the capacity to make quick changes for far better control on the street. For 2019, the NX 300H will feature Lexus Safety System as a regular feature. The system supplies a pre-collision system, lane leaving notify, adaptive cruise control and auto beams at no extra expense.

For the guide, the 2019 NX 300H begins at $40,695 with holiday location, noticeably more than the $36,260 MSRP of the minimum-expensive NX 200t.

Science. Politics. Religion. Comic books.
Happy Holidays, everyone! I’m usually not very good at getting into the festivities of the season, and I want to try to change that. So, to get into the mood for the season, I’ve decided that for every day of Advent until Christmas, I’m gonna do a review of an episode of a TV show or a movie that’s centered around Christmas. Because hey? Why not!
But, umm... My tastes are not everyone else’s, so there might be a few weird ones here. I randomly grabbed some Christmas episodes and stuff off the top of my head, but there’s not really any pattern to this. I’m just going with it. I’ve seen most of what I’m writing about before, but I’ve added a few surprises for myself too. Hope you enjoy!

SkiFarm on Amazon is a store selling skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, clothing and more. Click the blue link above to check out what deals and promotions they are currently offering in winter sporting items. At the moment, they do have a few promotions.
SkiFarm has earned about 2,000 positive feedback ratings, with a current 97% positive overall score. SkiFarm is also rated as a #1 Best Seller in many of the categories that they sell on Amazon. This basically means that they offer both a competitive price, as well as a history of customer satisfaction in those categories.
SkiFarm mainly sells skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, clothing and more. They sell name brands like 5150, 540snowjam, APC by Schneider Electric, Burns, Demon, Dragon, Dragon Alliance, Electric California, Electric Visual, FIVE FORTY, Globe Pequot Press, Goode Ski Technologies, HEAD, Kerma, Kerma Rossignol, Lange, Leki, Nordica, One Ball Jay, Prevue Hendryx, Primal, Pulse, Rossignol, Salomon, SCOTT, skisun, SnowJam, Spice, Swix, Tecno, The Face, Thrive-Products, Twoowt Skiboards, Tyrolia, Uvex, Volkl, World Famous, and others.
Items like Volkl Unlimited R1 Skis 149 cm with marker Fastrack adjustable bindings, Dragon Alliance APX Ski Goggles, Electric California EG2.5 Adult Goggles, Lange Delight Women’s Ski Boots, Nordica One 40 W Women’s ski boots, etc.
SkiFarm sells brand new merchandise, and does offer a 100% Authentic guarantee, as well as a 100% money back guarantee.
Let’s take a close look at their recent feedback history. Amazon buyers have a really good way of weeding out the good sellers from the bad. If an item even SLIGHTLY looks like it might be a counterfeit or knock-off, they will leave you bad feedback. And any and all flaws will usually be reflected in a seller’s feedback. With that being said, over the past 12 months, SkiFarm has received about 200 positive feedback ratings, compared to just 1% negative feedback comments. With that sort of lop-sided ratio, it definitely appears as though SkiFarm is an honestly run business, selling authentic merchandise.
I’ve tried multiple times to get an answer about some ski equipment from SkiFarm with no luck. Also, their return policy is a 10% restocking fee, plus they charge a lot for shipping and you must pay for return shipping. I can get no one to tell me if I’d have to pay for shipping & return shipping even if they make a mistake, the incorrect item arrives, or item arrives damaged, etc. All that goes back to my asking some detailed product questions before the purchase, but they won’t provide the answers–just basically restate the item name/description. Not impressed at all.

Often occurring on the abdomen, breasts and thighs, and even buttocks, stretch marks look like shiny streaks and may feel slightly depressed compared to the surrounding skin. “New stretch marks appear red or purple (the result of inflammation), and older stretch marks are often silver in color or white,” says Dr. Goldberg. “Older marks may also have very thinned skin, which is also a sign of scarring.” Insider Tip: Treat stretch marks at the very first sign of them, which is usually when they are red and itchy. Once they turn white, they are older and harder to minimize.
This fatty acid–rich ingredient soothes and hydrates dry, itchy and irritated skin that is often associated with stretch marks.
Rich in vitamins A, E and D, avocado oil helps battle stretch marks due to its ability to increase skin elasticity, keeping skin more flexible as it stretches.
Commonly used for healing scars (many experts consider stretch marks a type of scar), antioxidant- rich vitamin E makes the skin more elastic and pliable.
Inflammation-fighting aloe vera helps prevent and minimize stretch marks since it works to regenerate damaged tissue.
This potent antioxidant helps fade the appearance of stretch marks by promoting the growth of new skin cells and repairing old ones.
Peptides help stimulate the production of collagen for skin that’s stronger and more even in texture and color.

I already told myself not to sign up for events which happen on a weekdays, most especially when the venue is almost 10 kilometers away from where I'm working and I only have an hour of travel time.
But I broke this one when I signed up to watch the Philippine Madrigal Singers' Goin' for the the Gold 50th Anniversary Outreach Concert Tour last March 5, 2013 at SM Lanang Premier, Davao City. It was my first time to watch and hear them sing live and I was truly in awe of their world-class talents. For those who have no idea who they are, the Philippine Madrigal Singers is the Philippines' best chorale group, comprising of highly talented individuals. The Philippine Madrigal Singers have long been already showcasing their singing prowess around the world.
Seems like the law of attraction worked again on me when it only took me 30 minutes of travel time from my workplace, making me arrived at the venue 30 minutes earlier than the event. I was lucky to be seated in the front row. When they sang their first song, I could not really fathom what I felt. It was like the heavens opened up and I'm hearing voices of angels serenading the crowd in SM Lanang Premier. In fact, this was even an understatement.
Due to my amazement, I lost track on how many songs they performed during the event. All I know is that each performance was very superb and that they got two standing ovations from spectators. Indeed, world-class talent at its best and right in front of me.
I didn't have any regret traveling that far to grace this event. My only regret was that I wasn't able to bring my DSLR to capture their performances but hey, to be in their performance and presentations is a necessity for everybody to experience. The Philippine Madrigal Singers make me proud to be a Filipino.
Thank you SM Lanang Premier and Davao Bloggers for this wonderful experience.

I work mainly with copper-plate etching although I also have some of my pencil drawings on display here. I enjoy making images of animals, rural views and every day scenes, finding inspiration from my surroundings and the places I have visited on my travels. My aim is to evoke the atmosphere and feel of the scene, or the texture and personality of the animal I am drawing.
The sizes shown about each picture refer to the image area - there is extra paper all round the image.
We cannot guarantee that the colour of the pictures on your screen is exactly the same as the original print colour.

I just couldn’t agree more with this post on Vasanth’s blog related to traffic situation in Bangalore and Chennai. I travel 25 kms each way (abt an hr) for work and it definitely gets on the nerves after a while. I can probably add a couple more to the list with respect to Chennai.
The auto drivers have taken up an oath to ride on (I literally mean “on”) the white divider lines that separate different lanes in the same direction. Maybe, this is specially taught to them when they learn to ride an auto. I just can’t believe it. When they do that, it is a pain trying to overtake them in either lane. And the worst, they don’t do more than 30-40 kmph.
Another behavior that I have noticed with respect to autos are that you can tell whether they have a passenger or not, just by looking at the speed of the auto. When they have a passenger, they go at around 30-40. But if they are looking for a passenger (“savari”), they drag along at around 0-10 kmph (ofcourse in between two lanes like I mentioned above), it is so @#@#ing irritating. Yeah… I get that they have to do that for a living, but they don’t have to do it this way. There are several designated places in the city auto stands and they can there and wait for their “savari”.
Next comes the buses. I was under the impression that only James Bond had a license to kill, but I was wrong. After driving for a couple of years in Chennai, I learnt that even the bus drivers have a license to kill… or at least scare the @#$@ out of other drivers. They don’t care a ^%%^ about others and literally ram you onto the median. I have experienced it myself several times. And the worst is that they are not pulled over for speeding, reckless driving or even for jumping signals. Looks like they have immunity over law. When someone does something like this to me, I overtake the bus, go in front and drive at around 20kmph and try not to allow the bus to overtake. I do this for a few seconds when there is a clear stretch of road. The drives get pissed off when such things happen in the morning. Just my way of teaching them a lesson.
I guess that the list could go on and on… but I will have to stop here now. I am sure that if the drivers are more disciplined, the traffic situation will be much better.
This entry was posted on March 23, 2006 at 3:56 pm and is filed under Chennai. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
lol i have never seen this side of you hahaha the anniyan on the chennai roads teaching bus drivers a lesson !! bravo my friend I am really proud !!
benzene ring: this happens in a 4 way intersection…..everyone wants to go at the same time, so they all jam the road in the middle making a ring formation.
foot path rally racing: the bikers are specialists in this. race away on the foot path and bash into pedestrians armageddon style!!!
mid road bus stop: BMTC must be lauded for their placement of bus stops. after u cross an traffic intersection, there will be a bus stop. the bus will obviously stop in the middle of the road. the road will be blocked for traffic behind the bus who have a green signal. so they have to wait another 199s to get green once again….awesome!!!!!
one way madness: the best way to get to point B from point A is through ZYX….B. This is bcos all other roads are 1 ways. distance by walk = 200m. distance by car/bike = 2 km. …and they talk abt saving fuel.
i can go on and on…..but all good things come to an end.
yeah… talking about saving fuel… I am sure that if the traffic situation improves, there will be huge saving on the fuel bill which will go a long way in cutting India’s fiscal deficit.
u are so very different in this post.
2yrs of driving down daily to office in these conditions…perfectly understandable for all these anger in you.
Gotto agree with all that you got to say here, at least we could manage when driving on 2 wheelers, but with cars there is no way u can drive it nice and easy for atleast a small stretch.

Control over life’s events is an ultimate goal of mine as I’m sure it is for everyone else. Maybe that’s why these beautiful scenes of chaos bring me such joy. The combination of intense colors excites my senses and makes me want to write a story of the murder that’s taken place beyond that blood red door…..

Edit the /etc/rc2.d/S95svm.sync file to include the 2048 buffer_size.
Increasing the value will may lead low I/O performance.

What do I need to know to customize my online training courses?
Responding is Ryan Dunlap, technical support manager and software trainer, Health & Safety Institute, Summit Training Source, Grand Rapids, MI.
Know the material. This is especially important when creating a course from scratch. You do not need to be a subject matter expert, but you should know enough about the material to create a clear, concise course, and it is a good idea to break the material down into modules, chapters or lessons for easier organization of material presented. Additionally, creating a course based on adult learning theory will provide problem-based and collaborative learning rather than a more didactic approach. Moving away from an “active versus passive” or “teacher teaches, student merely listens” model is especially important for adult learners to foster interest and build the motivation to learn.
Test-drive the software you want to use. Look for software that is flexible enough to include all of the elements you want for your training, including tools such as video, images, games or interactions to help keep the student engaged. Often, a demo or free trial can provide all of the information you need in choosing customizable online learning software.
Customized training has the potential to be a cost-effective, convenient way to improve worker skill levels. By considering all of these factors, hopefully you have more insight into what it takes to successfully customize training in a way that works best for you.

Ms. Leverett is a wonderful professor who truly cares about her students!
liked her teaching style and really walked away from her class with knowledge of both present and past history never told or read about. Great prof.! We need more like her.
Don't care for her attitude or teaching style. Avoid this teacher if possible.

I recently read a news article about a teacher who was using social media in their classroom to engage students. They were using Twitter as a tool to learn and discuss various issues related to the content. The students who were interviewed enjoyed it and the teacher commented on how student learning was improved by using Twitter as a tool in the classroom.
I should have stopped there, but unfortunately I went on to read the comments. Multiple people were complaining and saying this was the reason why our educational system is in trouble. They said that the teacher was too focused on the kids enjoying themselves and not enough on the learning. That got me thinking, what would those who complained imagine when asked about what does good learning look like. Would they rather see the students obediently taking notes while listening to a lecture? Would they rather see worksheet after worksheet being completed and turned in? What would they think of as good teaching and how does it compare to how we view good teaching?
Unfortunately we face a major problem in schools, we are teaching students who live in a culture that is vastly different than what their parents grew up in. We have technology in schools that was not even thought of 20 years ago but yet many parents expect to see students doing what they did in school. Many do not understand how important it is that we engage our students and not let them passively exist in our classrooms. Many do not understand how a lecture or a worksheet is not engaging to students and how just because they completed something, does not mean they learned anything. Just because there are points in a grade book, that doesn’t mean that those points mean anything.
One of the biggest challenges today in education is related to how we engage our students into the learning. Where memorizing lots of facts was used before, that becomes obsolete thanks to technology which allows us to look up a list of state capitols faster than anyone can spit them out. I do not need to memorize a periodic table or a list of constants if I have an app that shows that to me instantly. Even my physics professors told me it was useless to memorize all those numbers, we write them down and look them up later because they are not what is important. The understanding and use of those facts are what is important. It is not what you know that matters anymore, it was what you can do with that information. This is not a bad thing, this is just the next step in our learning process.
Teachers have to find ways to engage students such that they can not only learn the information, but so that they can use that information. We need students to think critically, collaborate and communicate with each other. We need students who can innovate and do things that were not done before. We can use technology to not only engage these students but also to help them use that information to do something with it. Learning today is not about facts but it is about thinking.
If using technology can create a more engaging lesson for students that moves beyond memorization and towards creation, then we must use it. Use the technology to allow your students to communicate with other people, to allow them to create and share that with the world. Use the technology to let your students debate a topic online and use the resources that they find to defend their statements. Use the technology to create a learning space that goes beyond the 45 minutes of class and the 4 walls of the classroom. Use the technology to engage your students into thinking critically about what they are learning and not to just take notes and complete worksheets. If we are still focusing too much on factual knowledge and not understanding, then we are wasting our students’ time.

September 1942. "Rochester, N.Y. Mrs. Babcock doing the family laundry with an electric washing machine and a wringer." All the modern conveniences -- the wringer is motorized. Photo by Ralph Amdursky for the OWI. View full size.
Submitted by EvenSteven on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 5:53pm.
Mrs. Babcock in dress and apron brings back memories of my Mom. The ladies of that time would put in a full day's work in that outfit but just before hubby was due home off came the apron, a dab of perfume was put on, a fast brush through the hair and of course fresh lipstick made her ready to give her man a welcome home kiss at 4:45 pm. At least that was the way it was at my house.
It seems to be on the hot water line (going by cold-right/hot-left on top of tank). That card might be instructions about the purpose of the valve. At least I hope it is for if that old seamless tank went it would go trough the roof and land a block away.
Submitted by Faust on Sat, 02/02/2013 - 12:06pm.
We had a tank just like that in our bathroom right up until 1968 when we put in a new furance and a water heater. Mom or Dad had to light it in the morning to get any semblance of hot water, most of the time we washed our faces with cold water before school. The thermostat was old-school; you felt on the outside of the tank to see how far up the hot water was, and how hot it was! You could get burned brushing against it and with it right inside the bathroom door you really had to watch. A few times the tank was forgotten and split the seams. Ah, the good old days.
Submitted by LadyCelia on Sat, 02/02/2013 - 8:31am.
The identical washing machine/wringer are sitting in front of the local Cracker Barrel. Give its height, I'm guessing Mrs. Babcock was about 5 feet tall or a bit under.
Submitted by Cedarspider on Sat, 02/02/2013 - 12:44am.
This brings the memories back. Our neighbor across the street was out in his back yard looking at the water heater laying in the grass. Earlier it had launched itself from the basement through his boys bedroom and out through the roof, where it landed in the yard. As a kid I was told they were dangerous and after that incident I believed it. There wasn't a pressure relief and the tank looked as if the the seams were riveted.

The drain in my circa 1953 tub rusted out and I replaced it with a plastic sink. Getting the old tub out involved a sledge hammer and elbow grease. I hauled the pieces out by the bucketload. There's one more piece to go.

These concrete laundry tubs were installed in the basement of my house when it was built in the Dunbar neighbourhood of Vancouver in 1928. Only recently did I have to replace the original galvanised drain pipe. Things were built to last in those days! The wringer washer is a 1944 Beatty from the apartment building I once lived in, and it still sees occasional use. I usually use the 1967 Speed Queen washer to the right, and the dryer is a 1958 speed Queen.

At the time the 1940 U.S. Census was taken, Howard A. Babcock (age 40) and his wife Mary E. Babcock (age 38) lived at 239 Selye Terrace in Rochester, with their children, daughter Shirley L. (18), son Howard A. Jr. (10), and son Earl E. (4). They rented a room for $35 a month (the two story apartment building still stands at the corner of Selye Terrace and Dewey Avenue, according to Google Maps). They also had a lodger, a widower named Alex N. Alexander, age 47, an auto parts inspector who was born in the Irish Free State. The Babcocks were all born in the US.
Mr. Babcock was a machinist in the gun industry, while Mrs. Babcock was a homemaker. Shirley was working part time in sales for a department store (she had worked six hours in the prior week).
If they were living in an apartment building, could the basement laundry have been a communal one shared with the other renters?
Submitted by Paul A on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 10:41am.
I have the same concrete laundry tub in my 1939 built basement and it's staying. One of the basins has a zinc washboard built in to the sloped front.
Submitted by LestWeForget on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 7:36am.
These wringers were tough on buttons. I recall that it was standard procedure for my Mother to get out the sewing kit after the washing was dried as there always seemed to be at least one broken button to replace.
Ah the old concrete wash tub.
Submitted by csteinmayer on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 6:52am.
My house in Oak Park Mi built in 1954 had one. Used a sledge hammer to remove it. It was concrete with a zinc liner on the top edge, resting on a steel frame. Looked exactly like the one in the picture. I wonder if the photographer removed the light bulb from the socket above?
Submitted by archfan on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 12:13am.
We had a similar washer (and sinks) in our basement in the 60's, and I heard the horror stories, too. Of course I had to play with it.
I sneaked down to the basement and turned on the wringer, and managed to get my hand between the wringers. My arm was in past my elbow before I managed to turn a switch to release the tension on the rollers, which let me pull my arm free.
I turned it off, made sure my arm still worked, sneaked upstairs, and never touched the dang thing again.
Submitted by BdgBill on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 10:10pm.
I grew up hearing horror stories of the women and sometimes children who were maimed by motorized wringers back in the days before safety devices and tort lawsuits.
Submitted by urcunina on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 6:47pm.
I vote the sink is soapstone. I grew up in a 1920's house with one. They can get really grungy looking but can be renewed with cleaning and sanding. An application of mineral oil will make it shine. Our washing machine was similar to this one and also plugged into the light socket. Ten years ago, I had a soapstone kitchen counter installed in my house. It's indestructible and totally heat resistant. It will scratch, but sandpaper and oil renews it. This sink could weigh 400 pounds or so.
Submitted by Solo on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 4:41pm.
Displayed vertically, behind the step ladder, is half of the system that predated the washing machine and utility sink: a galvanized laundry tub. Presumably its complement, a washboard, is still in the basement somewhere.
Submitted by Andersdel on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 3:57pm.
is in my basement. The house dates to 1884 and I'm sure it has never had another since some long gone owner put a machine in. As mentioned, it's heavy, impervious to wear--you would really have to hate it to go to the trouble of replacing it. If that house in Rochester still stands, I'd bet money that thing is still there and still in service.
Submitted by su dee on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 3:51pm.
Why is she putting clean, squeezed clothes in that filthy sink?
Submitted by nukjam on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 11:41am.
Looks like an asbestos-wrapped cold air return from an old gravity furnace behind her. Coal fired I'm assuming? Those old furnaces needed wider diameter ducts than their modern day forced air counterparts. I'm guessing its a cold air duct as its situated on an exterior wall; modern day systems use the opposite configuration where cold air returns are on interior walls.
What's in front of the window?
Submitted by WoodsideParkBob on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 3:29pm.
What is the piece of equipment in front of the window? The top part with the knob looks like it is made out of white PVC plastic, but that doesn't seem likely in 1943.
Submitted by UpNorthBob on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 3:24pm.
It appears that Mrs. Babcock's washing machine is plugged into the overhead light socket adapter. Hope it didn't cause problems. I agree with the person who noticed she looks happier than she does in the family pictures.
Submitted by OldeRadio on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 3:03pm.
My mother's laundry had an identical tub in the 1950's. It has a zinc molding over the top edge, but the inside surface of the tub is concrete. They are hard to keep clean, but nearly indestructible. Mrs. Babcock's washer looks like my grandmother's Maytag. The uninsulated hot water heater in the background must've kept this corner of the basement nice and warm.
Submitted by RJP on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 2:12pm.
I haven't seen one of those things in years. My childhood home (built 1949) had one. The next house had enameled steel. Now all you see is plastic. Every change I'm sure makes them easier to install!
Submitted by tterrace on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 2:05pm.
Mrs. Babcock appears to be happier while doing the laundry than she is sitting with her family.

Born and raised in Kyoto. I love traveling. The more I was exposed to foreign culture, the more I realized how fascinating Kyoto is. This is why I am writing this English article for you to make your trip in Kyoto much more enjoyable!
Nothing is more appropriate to describe the essence of Kyoto culture than Geisha. No one can deny that they are the symbol of Kyoto culture, but it is pretty rare and difficult even for a local resident of Kyoto. This is because Geisha entertain only those who are familiar with them, but this rule does not mean they are exclusive to aliens. They just hope to know customers well and maximize their skills to satisfy customers. Naturally, it used to be almost impossible for foreign tourists to interact with Geisha. However, since more and more tourist is visiting Kyoto these days, some travel agency enable foreign people to do so. In this article, I would like to show you how interesting to talk with Geisha.
The tour that I would like to introduce in this article is held on every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evening at the Japanese restaurant, Yasaka Dori Enraku. This restaurant is situated near the Gion district, where there are various historical places as well as night entertainment such as a luxurious bar.
The nearest station is Keihan Gion Shijo Station, just 10 minutes walk from the station will bring you to the very charming restaurant. You can enjoy the atmosphere of Gion district as well on the way to the venue. Please check the exact location from Google Map.
When you arrive there, you will be welcomed by English speaking guide will you help your understanding of Geisha.
As soon as Geisha came into the room, I realized that something invisible has changed because she has the unique and elegant atmosphere that you cannot see on a typical tour.
An English speaking guide kindly explains the detail of Geisha’s costume that can be changeable according to a season. One thing that I learned new is that Geisha is still under 20 and apprentice to become Geisha. (To be precise, Geisha is exceptionally called Geiko only in Kyoto.) Despite that she is young; she behaves professionally to entertain us.
First, Geisha demonstrated traditional dancing that symbolizes the change of each season, and it was fabulous.
After dancing, I was given an opportunity to directly talk with Geisha. To be honest, I was so nervous because I didn’t expect such a great situation. Every time I come across Geisha in the Gion district, I usually end up just seeing them, and regret not being able to speak to them. I asked some questions about her personal life, and what was most surprising was that they are not allowed to have a mobile phone! I cannot imagine such a situation, but it seems that they have to follow the rule to protect the traditional culture of Geisha. In addition to this, I noticed that she speaks Kyoto dialect that makes Kyoto’s culture unique from other Japanese culture.
We enjoyed the simple games with Geisha. Even though the games itself were simple, it was fun.
Since this is the extremely rare opportunity, I could not help taking a picture of Geisha. I was about to forget to take a picture with Geisha, but the staffs allowed me to do so individually. It was a great honor to be able to take pictures.
Before I let you go, I have to mention their delicious food. They are kind to offer Halal and Vegetarian food as well. Most surprisingly, this tour cost only 19,000 JPY including dinner and alcoholic/soft drinks such as Japanese Sake and Beer!
Overall, this is the excellent chance especially for foreign tourist to interact with Geisha. I am pretty sure that joining this tour is the once in a lifetime experience, and you will never forget such a precious time. If you come to Kyoto by any chance, I strongly recommend you!
Would you also like to join this tour? Then, here is the application form to make an online reservation form here.
We are proud to offer an excellent opportunity for foreign visitors to Kyoto to meet and interact directly with Geisha, at an exceptional price, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 6 pm to 8 pm. This tour includes dinner, an English guide, watching a traditional dance performance, and be able to play a unique game with the Geisha.
Are you curious about this tour? Check the detailed information, and make an online reservation now to meet an authentic Japanese Geisha in Kyoto!

Now that we have successfully examined the Higher Roots from the F&D perspective, let us take a quick look at ¹ and other transcendental numbers from the perspective of our new Family.
Let us first look at a micro-history of ¹.
¹ is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of the circle. This great ratio, reflecting such a balanced order, has been approached from different standpoints throughout the ages. Each mathematician interprets it from the perspective of his age. Early on it was looked upon as a ratio. The Bible interpreted it the most simply as exactly a 1 to 3 ratio, of diameter to circumference of the circle. The Bible based religions always look for absolute truths. Within the same time frame, the Mesopotamians used the ratio of 22/7. In these days, there was no concept of mathematically exact. Instead the concept was of practicality. For the Mesopotamians, this ratio was close enough for practical purposes .
With the Greeks came the mathematically exact. Archimedes gave a more precise ratio. However the Greeks came to realize that certain numbers couldn't be expressed as an exact ratio. Thus Archimedes acknowledged that this was only an approximation. He gave two ratios that ¹ must fall between.
This was the state of the art for some 2000 years. In the duration Archimedes' approximations were refined but not extended theoretically. With the renaissance of math and the sciences at the end of the Middle Ages, ¹ was finally expressed exactly in an equation. Francois Viete (1540-1603) in the 1600s wrote the first precise rendition of ¹ as an infinite square root series. From then until now, many other series have been written which express ¹ exactly. This is his series. It will do nicely to indicate the fractal nature of ¹ .
Here we are in the fractal 1990's. What is more appropriate than to explore the structure of ¹ as a fractal. We are still going to write ¹ as an infinite series, but we are going to explore its fractal elements. Even Archimedes realized that ¹ would be realized in an infinite refinement but just didn't have the algebra to express it.
Before proceeding let us look at a popular infinite expression of ¹, which is not fractal and actually supplanted the early fractal representations. John Wallis (1616-1703) discovered a representation of ¹ that became the most popular infinite representation of ¹ because of its relative ease of representation and computation.
Although this representation has many other modern applications and derivations it is not a fractal representation. A fractal representation must reflect itself in the largest and smallest levels. It must be nested. Although this equation is exact it does not reflect itself upon any level.
Let us return to VieteÕs representation of ¹. Let us treat it in the same way that we did the infinite continued fraction. Let us create a series of approximations whose limit is the infinite representation of ¹ given by Viete. We have called these fractal function sets in other contexts, because each element of the series contains all the elements that went before. Each element of both our F&D SeriesÕ contained every element that went before. Therefore we also called these fractal function sets. As we shall see they could also be called iterative functions because each member of the series is based upon that what went before. Every iterative function generates a fractal function set, because each new member contains all the members that went before.
For ease of visualization let us write VieteÕs representation again.
From this we can also write 2/¹ as the product of an infinite number of ¹ functions.
Then ¹ itself could be written as this infinite product.
What are these ¹ functions?
We begin with ¹(1), the first multiplier.
¹(2) and ¹(3) can be written as functions of ¹(1) and ¹(2) respectively.
This leads us to a general expression for ¹(N).
Our ¹ function series is self-referential. Each term is a function of the preceding term. This is a first order iterative equation. As mentioned self-referential series, i.e. one based upon an iterative function, always leads to the fractalization of its individual members.
Further every first order iterative equation has one seed. What is the seed of our iterative ¹ function? Starting with the expression from Step 4, we backtrack. From Step 1 we know what ¹(1) is. We also know that it is generated from the preceding term ¹(0), which is the ÔseedÕ.
Squaring both sides of the equation we get Step 6. Multiplying the equation by 2 we get Step 7. Subtracting one we get Step 8, which proves deductively that ¹(0) equals zero. Note that this specific ÔseedÕ of the ¹ function is different from the F&D Series, where the seed does not matter at all.
Another feature of self-referential functions is that they are nested. This nested feature creates fractalized reflections. Below is the algebraic nesting of ¹. ¹(N) is a function of ¹(N-1), which is a function of ¹(N-2), which is a function of ¹(N-3) and so on to ¹(2), which is a function of ¹(1), which equals the nesting of the seed ¹(0). Eventually ¹(N) can be written as a nested function of ¹(0). Hence the first is reflected in the last as well as all the intermediate ¹ functions.
Thus each member of the iterative ¹ series is based upon the multiple nesting of the seed, ¹(0), which equals zero. Thus from nothing comes something. Each nesting of zero is an iteration by the ¹ function. The number, N, of each member of our set is the number of times our original number has been nested or the number of iterations of the ÔseedÕ.
The elements of ÔordinaryÕ equations, i.e. zero order iterative functions, i.e. functions with no layers of feedback, are not based upon the previous members of the set. Therefore there is no nesting. Because there is no ÔnestingÕ in ÔordinaryÕ equations, the individual elements are not fractalized, i.e. created from each other.
Our ¹ function is self referential and nested reflecting its fractal construction. All iterative equations have this same fractal component, because they are all based upon the continued ÔnestingÕ of the ÔseedÕ. Nesting in this case refers to applying the iterative function to the ÔseedÕ. First order iterative equations only need one seed, which in the case of the ¹ function was the square root of one half, Ã1/2.
Remember that 2/¹ equals the limit of the product of the ¹ functions, not the limit of the ¹ function, as we shall soon see. Each member of the fractal function set for ¹ consists of nested ¹ functions, i.e. ¹(N) = ¹(¹(ɹ(¹(0))É)). It is the product of these nested functions that is the limit we seek. The complexity of the expression is shown below.
Note that we start with ¹(1) instead of ¹(0). This is just to keep with our original expression. We could just as easily written it in terms of ¹(0). Remember that ¹(1) = ¹(¹(0)). This simple substitution would yield a result of the same nature.
Remember that 2/¹ is the product of these ¹ functions. Hence the above representation shows that the whole series is based upon the seed ¹(0) of the first member, ¹(1), which equals zero. This is the only given fact. The other given is the ¹ function. No other information is needed to generate these approximations for ¹. Thus our iteration of nothing yields the quantities that when multiplied by each other yields our desired limit, 2/¹.
Note that our expression for ¹ is doubly fractal. Each member of the set is a fractal of the preceding elements while the ¹ limit is the product of these fractals. This contrasts with the F&D Series, where the desired root is the Limit of the series, not the limit of the product of the members of the series. Obviously ¹ is not an ordinary Root Number. It is transcendental.
What is the limit of ¹(N)?
We mentioned that 2/¹ is not the limit of our ¹ function. What is its limit? Let's start at the beginning. ¹(1) < 1.
This is the expression for ¹(2).
The expression under the radical is the average of 1 and ¹(1). Because ¹(1) < 1, ¹(1) is the smaller of the two numbers being averaged.
Hence the average will be > ¹(1) but less than 1.
The square root of any positive number less than one is greater than the number but less than one because the square of any number less than one is less than the number. Hence the square root of our average would be greater than the average but still less than one.
Because the square root of the average is ¹(2), we know that ¹(2) is between 1 and ¹(1).
Following this pattern we can say that the average of any of the ¹ functions with one will always be greater than the ¹ function. The ¹ functions will never be greater than one, for their self-referencing pattern begins below one and the pattern pushes it higher but never past one.
The square root of the average will be greater than the average but still less than one for the same reasons stated above in the particular case.
Because the root of the average is ¹(N), we can say that it is less than one while greater than ¹(N-1).
It is easy to see that as N->° that ¹(N) -> 1.
In another notation, ¹(°) = 1. As before ¹(°) means the limit of our ¹ function as the number of iterations approaches infinity.
Let us look at our spreadsheet generation of an approximation for ¹. (See appendix.) Our series approaches the limit of the computer's 16-place precision rapidly. ¹(24) equals 1.00000000000000, 1.0 to 14 decimals, as far as the computer was concerned. The precision of this method rises rapidly. No more approach, our ¹ series had reached its mythical destination. Similarly the value of computer's internal value for ¹ is reached simultaneously with 2/¹(24)!. Hence these practical limits are not out at ¹(1000), but instead surpassed the computer's computational abilities at only ¹(24). This is just a computer confirmation of the validity of our exploration.
Just as we generated a negative D series for Ã2, here we generate a negative ¹ series. We start with our general form of the series. We square both sides, multiply by 2, and subtract one from both sides of the equation. We then switch to the -N notation. We solve for ¹(0) as a function of ¹(1), which we already know has a value of Ã1/2. ¹(0) = 0. Similarly, using equation 2, we can solve for ¹(-1) = -1. The rest of the -¹ series all equal 1. If N > 2, then ¹(-N) = 1.
In decimal form ¹ generates a non-repeating decimal. It is so irregular that it is sometimes used to generate random numbers. However in infinite continued fraction form, ¹ becomes very regular just like the square roots. William Brouncker (1620?-1684) developed an infinite continued fraction for ¹. This is shown below.
We've already seen that all square roots can be written as an infinite continued fraction. These infinite continued fractions all have the same numerators and denominators. Hence the non-repeating decimals of the decimal notation become very rigid patterns in the infinite continued fraction notation. See below.
With this infinite continued fraction for ¹, we see that even transcendental numbers can be written as infinite continued fractions. But for ¹, our infinite continued fraction is still quite patterned. For each patterned transcendental, the numerator and denominator follows strict patterns. They are not fixed like the square root series, but still follow strict patterns. The numerators and denominators can be written as a clearly defined functions based upon the fractal function sets whose limit approaches the transcendental. Below is the derivation of the fractal function set for the patterned transcendental, ¹.
¹ is just one patterned transcendental. It is easy to see that there is a whole class of patterned transcendentals. The function (2N-1)^2 in the numerator of the ¹ series could be replaced by an infinite number of precise functions, which precisely define an infinite number of patterned transcendentals. This is shown below with g representing any function, iterative or not.
Each one of these patterned transcendentals can generate an infinite number of non-patterned transcendentals. At any point in the pattern an aberration can be introduced which will skew the result. The numerator or denominator at any point could be varied in an infinite number of ways, which would change the ultimate result. Thus for each transcendental there are an infinity of non-patterned transcendentals because for each fixed numerator or denominator there are an infinity of values that the numerator or denominator could have assumed. Hence for every patterned transcendental there are an infinite number of non-patterned transcendentals. Also a non-patterned transcendental can easily be generated by assigning random values to the numerators and denominators of our infinite continued fraction. Hence there are at least two classes of transcendentals, patterned and non-patterned. The patterned transcendentals include square roots, rational numbers and ¹, all in the same family.
Hence theoretically ¹ could be written as the limit of the ratio of the ratio of the ratio ad infinitum. What follows is an approximate suggestion of this reality.
Above is the first equation written with subscripts in order to deal with a series of approximate ratios. The square root of the rational number, a/b, is approximated by one of the finite members of the D series, which can be the rational number whose square root is approximated by another finite member of another denominator series and so on. Equations 3 and 4 merely recognize this reality. The series of a's are the numerators of the finite members of the D series. The series of b's are the denominators of the same series. Equation 4 just restates Equation 2.
We serialize K and the D series also. Remember that the lower case 'n' represents the nth serialization of the D series while the upper case N's represents the Nth element of the series.
Now we are ready to explore. Equation 6 restates the general expression for the ¹ function. Step 8 shows the initial elements of the a, b, and K series; and the expression for the first D series. These all follow from ¹(1) in Equation 7.
Using ¹(1) as an example of our series enumeration, we see the equality of the limit and the approximation of a finite member of this first D series to the square root. The initial members of the a and b series are constants, while all the rest are functions of the appropriate D series, which we shall soon see.
Step 10 illustrates the first elements of the a, b and K series, all results of the approximation for ¹(1). Also shown is the second D Series. It is a function of the first D series. It is easy to see that each successive series will be functions of the preceding series, which are functions of the preceding series etc. This is theoretical not practical.
Looking at ¹(2), we find a simplifying pattern. The number under the radical simplifies to our rational approximation divided by 2. Note that our specific b series is a simplification of the general b series specified above based upon the ¹ function series. Equation 4 is a general representation, while equation 11 is the specific manifestation under the conditions set up. The second elements of the a and b series are shown. It is seen that they are functions of the finite members of the second D series. Finally we see ¹(2)'s approximation.
We apply the same process to ¹(3) and obtain parallel results.
Generalizing our results we obtain an approximation for ¹(N). We also find the nth members of the a and b series.
This approximation has a familiar term, a/b-1. We called this element, c, in the section on the polar nature of numbers because it was the product of the conjugate functions. Now because of its unexpected appearance in this unusual context, we introduce a serialization of c. This leads us to a greatly simplified expression for ¹(N)!. Appearances are deceiving. Each of the members of the c series are functions of the a and b series which are functions of the Denominator series, each of which is a function of the subsequent. Only theoretical.
We have one last expression for ¹(N)!. It is expressed here only because it simplified so easily. It is a pretty equation. But we have no idea what it might be used for. Aesthetics over function.
We looked at infinite continued fractions as a way of precisely expressing irrational numbers, including square roots and ¹. We realized these fractions were a way of including rationals and some irrationals, at least, in the same precise family. Belonging to this family led to the some interesting conclusions about numbers. Under this system, no number can ever be precise. A second aspect was that the underlying pattern used to generate the irrationals was more important than the data itself. The third aspect was the incredible crystalline structure. We examined the fractal nature of numbers, including patterned transcendentals, specifically the magical ¹.
The main topic of these many Notebooks has been Live Data Streams and measures that include decay, such as Decaying Averages, Directionals and Deviations. Although different formulas are used, it can be argued that the measures of the Live Data Streams are like non-patterned transcendentals while the measures of Dead Data Streams would be like patterned transcendentals. Hence our studies are examining the parameters of non-patterned transcendentals. Patterned transcendentals are exact in their requirements in the family of infinite continued fractions, although they are non-repeating non-ordered, chaotic decimals. Thus this Notebook places our Data Stream measures in a context.

Compounded Pain Formulations: What is the Evidence?
Abstract: Pain syndromes are among the most widespread, costly, and debilitating of all neurological disorders. The number of patients living with chronic pain is expected to increase with the aging population and with the rise in obesity and diabetes across the nation. This type of pain is often insensitive to the traditional pain pharmacopeia or surgical intervention. Over the last 10 years the number of prescriptions that have been compounded by pharmacists has increased dramatically. There are a number of drugs in the area of pain management that have been formulated and compounded by pharmacists to treat conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, postherpetic neuralgia, joint pain, arthritis, and a variety of other conditions. A significant portion of these compounded analgesic preparations is made up of topical/transdermal dosage forms such as gels and creams. While the efficacy and doses of these drugs in systemic dosage forms have been widely established, little is known about the permeation and efficacy of these compounds from topical/transdermal gels. This review will provide an overview of chronic pain as a disease, the mechanisms of chronic pain, current treatment approaches to chronic pain, and a discussion of the drugs that are typically compounded into these topical formulations and studied in clinical trials.

We present a level set-based method for object segmentation in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. In our method, a modified energy functional via active contour model is proposed based on complex Gaussian/Wishart distribution model for both single-look and multilook PolSAR images. The modified functional has two interesting properties: (1) the curve evolution does not enter into local minimum; (2) the level set function has a unique stationary convergence state. With these properties, the desired object can be segmented more accurately. Besides, the modified functional allows us to set an effective automatic termination criterion and makes the algorithm more practical. The experimental results on synthetic and real PolSAR images demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) is a well-established multidimensional SAR technique based on acquiring earth's surface information by means of using a pair of orthogonal polarizations for the transmitted and received electromagnetic fields [1, 2]. The object segmentation of PolSAR image plays an important role of PolSAR image understanding and analysis. In this paper, we focus on the problem of PolSAR image object segmentation. In literature, active contour model was well known to automatically recover the shape of objects from various types of images and provide a good detection of object boundaries in PolSAR images . In [4–6], several PolSAR image object segmentation methods based on the classical snake model were proposed. But the classical snake model presents one limitation that topological changes which occur during the curve evolution are difficult. Because the snake model discretizes a curve using a set of points, this representation is hard to describe the curve topological changes.
In , a single-look PolSAR image segmentation algorithm based on level set and complex Gaussian distribution is proposed. In , a PolSAR image segmentation method is developed by embedding complex Wishart distribution into level set and active contour model. In [9, 10], these level set-based methods in [7, 8] are improved by a new multiphase method which embeds a simple partition constraint directly in curve evolution for PolSAR image segmentation. The level set-based methods can overcome topological change difficulties because level set has the significant advantage of allowing, in natural and numerically stable manner, variations in the topology of active contour .
However, the previous level set-based PolSAR image segmentation methods [7–10] may result in an unexpected state when they are used for object segmentation. That is because the corresponding energy functional which derives from Chan-Vese model may have a local minimum. This limitation makes these algorithms may fail to detect the inside objects or the objects far from the contours. Moreover, it is difficult to set an automatic termination criterion to cease the computation automatically for these methods [7–10], since the value of level set function will not converge to a stationary state.
In , a level set-based energy functional, which is a modified version of the Chan-Vese model, has been proposed for bimodal segmentation of optical image. This functional is designed for the images which are not noisy or the images of which the noise is not too high. In , we proposed a level set-based energy functional which is a modified functional in . This functional is proposed for segmentation of SAR image which contains high level of speckle noise . The proposed functional in is designed to overcome the influence of speckle noise in one-dimensional (1D) data for SAR image. The above two level set-based energy functional [13, 14] can get a stationary global minimum.
As illustrated in , the 1D speckle noise model cannot be extended to multidimensional SAR data directly though SAR polarimetry represents an extension to multidimensional data by the use of polarization wave diversity. PolSAR image segmentation is significantly difficult due to the complexity of the data and the occurrence of multiplicative speckle noise .
In this paper, following on from our initial effort in , we develop a level set-based bimodal segmentation method for PolSAR image object segmentation using complex Gaussian/Wishart observation models. These models are demonstrated to be effective for PolSAR image segmentation in [5, 7–10]. Besides, we improve the mathematical proof of the stationary property compared to our previous work . At last, we discuss the robustness of our method and the effectiveness of the termination criterion in the experiment.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present the statistic observation models. In Section 3, a new energy functional for PolSAR image object segmentation is proposed. In Section 4, we prove that the functional can arrive at a stationary global minimum. In Section 5, an effective termination criterion for the proposed segmentation method is presented. In Section 6, we deduce a numerical approximation of the proposed method. In Section 7 we show the experimental results of our method on both synthetic and real PolSAR images. The conclusions are given in Section 8.
We use different statistical observation models for single-look and multilook PolSAR image case. Let be the domain of a PolSAR image and the pixel of image.
In the case of single-look PolSAR images, each pixel x of the image in a homogeneous region consists of a corresponding vector as (3).
where represents the ensemble average, and * is the complex conjugate of a complex quantity.
where represents the number of looks, and is the covariance matrix of a particular pixel defined as .
As the descriptions of the PolSAR image speckle models in Section 2, we could make the following assumptions. The PolSAR image consists, at each pixel , of a matrix . When the PolSAR image is single-look, is a complex vector as and follows a complex Gaussian distribution as (4). When the PolSAR image is multilook, is a complex matrix as and follows a complex Wishart distribution as (8).
Equation (13) indicates that the minimization of energy function (13) can obtain the correct object segmentation of . In other words, this turns the problem of object segmentation into a problem of energy function minimization.
where is regularization parameter, is the level set function, and is the 1D Heaviside function, with if or if . and are defined by and , respectively. The first term is the prior term which is the classic boundary length term for smooth segmentation boundaries. The second and third terms are the likelihood terms which are specified by the observation model.
As , the minimization of level set-based energy functional (14) via curve evolution is equivalent to the minimization of (13). And then this turns the problem of object segmentation into the problem of energy functional minimization. That is to say, the contours of the objects can be obtained by the minimization of energy functional (14) concerning level set function .
However, as pointed out in , the segmentation method in based on the minimization of the functional (14) has two limitations.
Firstly, the minimizer, which is obtained by the minimization of energy functional (14), may become a local minimizer during curve evolution. Because the likelihood terms of functional (14) are a modified edition of Chan-Vese model , this model may sometimes enter into a local minimum, as indicated in [12, 13]. When the minimization of energy functional (14) enters into a local minimizer, the segmentation method by based on (14) may fail to detect the inside region or the objects that are far from the initial zero level set. This situation is also shown in our experiments.
Secondly, when we minimize (14) by curve evolution with respect to for object segmentation, it is difficult to set an appropriate automatic terminate criterion based on the value of the level set function. This is because the value of the level set function cannot converge to a stationary state by the minimization of the energy functional (14) via curve evolution. In practical application, this limitation makes it hard to decide whether the desired object segmentation has been obtained and then stop the curve evolution automatically.
where is an arbitrary small positive value, and the other parameters are the same to the functional (14).
As shown in , the minimization of energy functional (15) with respect to by curve evolution is also equivalent to the minimization of energy function (6). In other words, the minimization of the functional (15) will result in a level set function whose zero level set can be the contours that separate the objects from the background.
In order to avoid the occurrence of small, isolated regions in the final segmentation, we take the same prior term as in [10, 25]. The likelihood terms, which are the second and third terms of (15), are specified by observation models. These observation models have been described in Section 2.
The minimization of energy functional (15) by curve evolution can obtain a stationary global minimum. That is to say, the corresponding final contours will detect all the objects in the PolSAR image. Moreover, the modified likelihood terms with shift Heaviside function can confine the range of , so that the solution always becomes stationary. Due to the above improvements, the objects in the PolSAR image can be fully segmented and a termination criterion can be imposed on the algorithm due to the stationary solution. We present a termination criterion in Section 5.
We prove that the minimization of (15) with respect to can arrive at a stationary global minimum in Section 4.
We have made two modifications in (14) to obtain (15), multiplying and using shifted Heaviside functions in the second and third terms of (15). By multiplying , the energy functional (15) can get a global minimum. By using shifted Heaviside functions, the values of the level set function will converge to a stationary state. These two properties will be proved as follows.
Firstly, we introduce that multiplying leads to the global minimum as follows. In (14), the likelihood terms, which are the second and third terms of (14), change only if the sign of changes during the curve evolution. However, by multiplying in the energy functional (15), the likelihood terms, which are the second and third terms of (15), can reflect the value change of , even in the absence of a sign change of . As illustrated in [13, 14], this modification of the functional can overcome the local minimum limitation of the Chan-Vese model and guarantee that a global minimum can be obtained with the energy functional (15).
Secondly, we prove that the shifted Heaviside functions can guarantee that the level set function will enter into a stationary state when the energy functional achieves the global minimum as follows.
where the values of and only depend on the zero level set. The values of and are controlled by all the level sets.
From (16), we can deduce that, during the curve evolution, every with magnitude value experiences a change such that decreases until . This fact can be concluded as Lemma 1.
If is a minimizer for energy functional (16), then whenever .
Because , we can easily find that if , the minimizer of can be obtained when ; if , the minimizer can be obtained when ; if , the image may be a homogenous region and there is no object to be obtained. Observing this fact and based on Lemma 1, we have the following theorem.
As indicated in that an image can be approximated by a continuous function, for example, by convolving it with a Gaussian kernel. Theorem 1 will hold in this case. The proof of Theorem 1 based on Lemma 1 has been presented in . Theorem 1 can guarantee that will enter into a stationary state when is the minimizer of the functional (15). The effect of Theorem 1 is also shown in the experiments for PolSAR image object segmentation.
An effective automatic termination criterion is important for a level set-based PolSAR image object segmentation method when the PolSAR image processing system which employs this segmentation method needs to automatically determine whether the desired objects have been obtained.
There are several existing termination criteria for level set-based PolSAR image segmentation as follows. Firstly, a termination criterion bases on the comparison between the values of the current and the previous step. Secondly, terminate the curve evolution when the sign of the values does not change any more. These criteria are not suitable for they may fail to segment certain regions, for example, inside regions [13, 14].
Generally one could set a predefined number of iterations large enough to detect all the desired regions in the PolSAR image domain. However, this will bring so much unnecessary computation. What is more, the number of iterations is dependent on the initialization of and the kind of PolSAR image which make it difficult to predefine.
The level set function corresponding to these PolSAR image segmentation methods [7–10] will not be stationary when curve evolution enters into a convergence state; so it is difficult to impose a suitable termination criterion on these methods based on the value of level set function.
We can just measure the PolSDE every time step and terminate the computation automatically when the PolSDE decreases approximate to 0; for example, if , stop the curve evolution and then obtain the desired segmentation result. The effect and graph of the PolSDE are shown in our experiments.
We can start with any initial level set function and then obtain the same segmentation result in the steady state because the proposed level set-based energy functional in Section 3 can arrive at the global minimum by curve evolution.
We use the following usual notations as [12, 13]: let be the time step, and let be the grid points. Let be an approximation of , with being the initial .
As , the steps to the implementation with an explicit finite difference scheme are as follows.
Initialize the level set function.
Compute and by (6) and (10).
Calculate the value of PolSDE by (19).
In the following, we present several experimental results on synthetic and real PolSAR images to show the object segmentation effect of our method. We display the span image of the PolSAR image in this paper.
We choose the parameters for the experiments as follows. We use which is defined as [12–14] with . According to Theorem 1, can be an arbitrary positive value theoretically and we set or for the following experiments. It is also shown that different values of do not affect the accuracy of segmentation in the experiments. We stop the curve evolution if PolSDE . These parameter settings are the same for all the experiments. Only the regularization parameter , which has a scaling role , is not the same in all experiments. We will give the exact value of each time in the following experiments.
In Figures 1 and 2, we compare the segmentation results of our method with the method in . The function is initialized as a signed distance function. We show the PolSAR images with the corresponding contours.

Comparison of 4-look synthetic data object segmentation. (a)–(d) Segmentation by the method in . (e)–(h) Segmentation using our method with global stationary minimum, .
The synthetic images of single-look and 4-look are both generated using the ideal segmentation image in Figure 1(a). In Figure 1, we segment single-look PolSAR image. In Figure 2, we segment 4-look PolSAR image. It can be seen that, without a stationary global minimum, the method in fails to detect the inside region and objects that are far from the zero level set, whereas, with our method, all the regions are detected.
Figure 3 shows the evolutions of the functions with the method in and the proposed method. The value of determines the converged state of according to Theorem 1. The functions are corresponding to the segmentation results in Figures 1 and 2. It can be seen that the magnitude of increases with the method in and does not converge. With our method, the value of converges to . In Figures 3(c) and 3(e), the values of converge to 3 or 10, respectively. This proves the effectiveness of Theorem 1.

We show the effect of the regularization parameter in Figure 6. Figure 6 shows the experiments on the L-band 4-look AIRSAR image in San Francisco Bay (Figure 4) with and . There are many small isolate points in Figure 6(a) with a small weight of regularization term. In Figure 6(b), with a large weight of regularization term, the details of the island contour are lost.

Figure 7 shows the segmentation of power transmission towers in a part of L-band 4-look PiSAR image in Niigata. The four power transmission towers in the PolSAR image are the foreground for the object segmentation. In order to evaluate the robustness of the method with respect to different initial conditions, we test the three different initializations represented in Figures 7(a), 7(b), and 7(c). We obtain the same segmentation result as Figure 7(d). All the three different initial level set functions converge to the same object segmentation result. This demonstrates the robustness of our method to different initializations.

We also plot the PolSDE versus iterations in Figure 8, which are corresponding to the three different initializations in Figures 7(a), 7(b), and 7(c). It can be seen from Figure 8 that the values of PolSDE all drop to zero after different numbers of iterations. Therefore, we can easily impose a termination criterion on our method to stop the curve evolution automatically. Furthermore, since our method has a global minimum, it can be seen that an initialization close to the true objects (Figure 7(c)) results in a faster object segmentation process.

We show the role of the parameter in Figure 9. Figure 9 shows the experiments on the 4-look synthetic PolSAR image (Figure 2(a)) with and , respectively. According to Theorem 1, the value of determines the value to which converges. Thus, if we set , every converges either to 3 or to −3, and if we set , they converge to 10 or −10. The results of Figures 9(e) and 9(f) verify Theorem 1. The object segmentation results with different values of are the same. That is, has the same sign regardless of the value of while the magnitude of is different.

In Figure 10, we present the object segmentation results by the single channel-based algorithm in . As a contrast experiment, we use the hh and hv channels of PiSAR image in Figure 7. We adopt the same initialization of level set function and the same regularization parameter . It can be seen from the segmentation results that the power transmission towers cannot be extracted correctly from the single channel of the PolSAR image. However, our algorithm is designed for multidimension SAR data and the corresponding energy functional is derived from the complex Wishart distribution which can characterize the multidimensional SAR data effectively . Thus, our algorithm can extract the information of objects in PolSAR image more accurately than the method in from single channel.
Segmentation results on a single channel of the PiSAR image by the method in . (a) hh channel after 1380 iterations, and (b) hv channel after 2100 iterations.
The proposed algorithm is designed to extract desired objects in PolSAR images, by relying on an active contour model and level set. The resulting contours could be used for high-level PolSAR image analysis, for instance, object recognition. The experiments show that the proposed method outperforms previous level set-based approaches for PolSAR image object extraction in two senses: firstly, it can provide more accurate object extraction results; secondly, an automatic termination criterion can be easily set for the algorithm, which is useful for practical application.
There is a limitation that the accuracy of the proposed algorithm would decrease when the scenes of background are very complicated. The reason lies in the description limitation of the observation model (complex Gaussian/Wishart distribution) adopted by our level set-based method. In complicated scenes, there are several regions of which the scattering mechanisms are similar to that of the desired objects. In this case, the adopted unimodal observation models are not accurate enough to model the background and the foreground, for instance, complicated urban area. Thus, the output of our algorithm may mistake the undesired objects for the desired one because of the inaccurate adopted observation distribution.
One way to overcome this limitation is to use more accurate observation models for such scenes of PolSAR image, for example, the mixture models proposed by . An alternative solution is to introduce some known high-level cues, such as the context information, as a prior to the proposed algorithm.
We present a new level set-based bimodal method to segment the objects in PolSAR images. The method has an advantage that it can get a stationary global minimum. This means that the curve evolution will never converge to a local minimum and the value of in the converged state is predictable. Thereby, the proposed method can detect the desired objects in the PolSAR images well. Moreover, we can set a reasonable termination criterion based on the values of level set function to cease the computation automatically, and this property has practical value in PolSAR image processing.
A major limitation of our algorithm is that for the very complex scenes, the object segmentation accuracy may decrease. The fundamental cause lies in that our method adopts a simple unimodal complex observation model which may be not accurate enough to model some complicated scenes. In view of this point, our plan is to extend the proposed algorithm by using more suitable observation models including mixture model which can describe the complicated scene of PolSAR image more accurately. Also, another plan is to combine other known high-level context information with the proposed algorithm to get a more accurate object segmentation result.

my mum, making parsnip-soup. yum.
Anna is doing the costumes for a play in Oxford, with an 80's theme. i had the pleasure of trying on some of the clothes. i wonder why i don't always dress this way?
Anna also made this brilliant little friend for Sigfrid, (who some of you may know...). her name is Alma Annasdotter.
we went on a little trip to Jönköping, and stopped by at my greataunts. we'd asked for a glass of water, and this is what we got...!
did you know that safety matches were invented in Jönköping? we went to the little match-musuem, and there are some really lovely little labels.
but i'm lucky to have known all 4 of my grandparents. i even met both greatgrandfathers.
i could launch into a whole monologue of how i think elderly people are not well-enough respected in Sweden, compared to eg. Pakistan & Afghanistan. but i won't just now.
i'd like to spend more time with them, i would like to draw pictures of them and write down their stories. before it's too late. there were so many stories, so much experience and knowledge that my grandpa Sven Svensson had, that i didn't hear or write down in order to remember... i don't want the same thing to happen again... it's so crazy how many changes have happened in the world during their lifetimes! imagine seeing it all?
and the vitsippor are in full bloom.

Union Health and Family Welfare Minister J P Nadda on Thursday said the National Health Policy aimed at reaching healthcare in an assured manner to all, particularly the undeserved and underprivileged. Presenting the National Health Policy in the Lok Sabha today, Nadda said the policy proposes raising public health expenditure to 2.5 percent of the GDP in a time bound manner.
“We are making policy patient centric, making patient empowered regarding redressal and treatment. We will develop standards; if treatment is not done properly then tribunals will be set up to take the matter,” he said.
The Minister informed the House that the policy aims at ensuring availability of two beds per 1,000 population distributed in a manner to enable access within golden hour, the first hour after a traumatic injury, when emergency treatment is most likely to be successful.
“In order to provide access and financial protection, the policy proposes free drugs, free diagnostics and free emergency and essential healthcare services in all public hospitals,” he added.
Highlighting some of the key targets of the policy, Nadda said it seeks to increase life expectancy at birth from 67.5 to 70 by 2025 and reduce infant mortality rate to 28 by 2019.
“It also seeks to achieve and maintain elimination status of Leprosy by 2018, Kala-Azar by 2017 and Lymphatic Filariasis in endemic pockets by this year. The policy also looks at reforms in the existing regulatory system both for easing manufacturing of drugs and devices to promote Make in India, as also for reforming medical education,” he added.
The Minister said the policy informs and prioritizes the role of the government in shaping health systems in all its dimensions -investment in health, organisation and financing of healthcare services and prevention of diseases.
The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the National Health Policy on Wednesday.

Thomas THOMPSON was born in Christian Co., KY, and was married there to his first wife in 1815. Adam THOMPSON was born in Northern Ireland (was an immigrant with his father) and was one of the earliest residents of Christian Co., KY, settling there at least by 1804 (moving to what would become Trigg Co. in 1818).
Thomas and Adam do not appear to be related by blood (Adam has no sons in the appropriate age class to be Thomas in the 1810 Census and, in any case, Adam's children are accounted for). Still, the connection by marriage and the juxtapositioning of these families in early Christian Co. is intriguing.
The connection is doubly intriguing because Adam THOMPSON is said to have been a devout member of the Christian Church and Thomas THOMPSON was one of its major preachers (the founder of the Christian Church / Disciples of Christ in California). The HAYDENs and BELLs were also prominent names among the clergy of the Christian Church of this period.
The marriage between Thomas and Mildred in 1847 in Boone Co., MO, was the third for both of them, and they had no children together. There are other connections among the CAVEs, BELLs, CRAIGSs, HAYDENSs, SHIPPs, etc.
Adam THOMPSON & Jane SMART?

Nicole Holofcener makes movies about fairly unexceptional people in their middle-age just working things through in a slightly messy way, the kind of thing that’s apt to be overlooked, but her films — and this one in particular — have a warmth and generosity to them that’s more rewarding than a lot of other romantic comedies out there. It helps in this case that the late James Gandolfini is involved, as despite ostensibly playing against ‘type’, he is exactly the right kind of gregarious presence for this story, although most of the focus is on Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Eva, a woman who’s trying not to be in a relationship, but seems to just fall into one.
It’s not perfect by any means. There’s a rather too neat plot twist that ties in Eva’s work relationship as a masseuse to poet Marianne (Catherine Keener) with her burgeoning love interest in Gandolfini’s Albert, and the way that twist is developed feels a little bit too forced. Yet there’s still a lot that is wonderful and well-observed, little moments of characterisation that feel true to life. There’s comedy too, though this is a comedy primarily in its broad strokes and its feeling for its characters; maybe it would be fairer to say that within its comedic framework there’s a strong streak of melancholy.
A lot of the film’s success is due to the actors, and while the leads may be more familiar from television, they show a great aptitude for small gestures that show up so well on the big screen. There’s a bit of manipulativeness with the musical score, sure, and the parallel sub-plot of the leads’ respective daughters moving out of home towards college has some in-built corniness. However, I think the movement of Louis-Dreyfus’s eyebrows or Gandolfini’s watchful sideways glances hold a lot more power within the film’s context than any of the more obvious plot contrivances. Just seeing Gandolfini on screen provokes a fair bit of pathos, knowing that such an engaging screen presence is no longer around.
I fully admit I have little helpful to add to the critical commentary on this deft romantic comedy, but between its likeable lead players, it’s a welcome presence that’s both diverting and entertaining.
Good review Ewan. So sad to see Gandolfini go, especially now after seeing a movie like this. Just makes you realize how lovely and charming he truly was.
He would have a lot more great performances in him, I’m sure!
Nicely written! I also have to say . . . I love how Louis-Dreyfus and Holofcener use knitting to convey character. Louis-Dreyfus fumbles her needles several times throughout the film, a visual that supports Holofcener’s repeated emphasis that Eva has been working on the same project for many years. Like Gandolfini’s sideways glances and Louis-Dreyfus’ eyebrows, it is a subtle way of showing us what we need to know about this character.
Thanks! And oh yes, the knitting. There was lots of good little character-based observational stuff like that, which is really the core of what I liked about the film.
Nice review, great cast and a warm story. Also, intensely bittersweet.

As students all over the world head back to school after the summer break, LightBox presents Greg Miller's large-format 8x10 series on school bus stops alongside rural roadways. Below, Miller reflects on his life as the father of two daughters, and the separate and shared worlds that he and they (and all parents and children, everywhere) inhabit.
My town in eastern Connecticut is a small, rural college town. My wife and I live with our two daughters (a 7-year-old and a 6-week-old) down a winding road from our local dairy farm. It is a quaint and peaceful place.
On a cold Friday night last December, watching children light the menorah at our friends’ Hanukkah celebration, I struggled, like the nation and the world, to come to grips with the shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, about an hour away from my home. As the months passed, however -- as I waited for a period of national introspection and mourning -- I was stunned at how the event, the people and families affected were quickly eclipsed and co-opted by America's raging gun control debate.
I just haven’t been able to shake the feeling that we missed the point; that we have become callous and have lost our appreciation for the preciousness of life -- something so basic to the survival of our species. I am left with nagging questions: What if we were to lose our ability to cherish life? Have we lost it already, like an animal falling off the endangered species list? I think: How can anyone not see children, all children, as their own, as nieces and nephews, or even as themselves?
In the early pre-dawn hours, heading to the airport for an out-of-town assignment, I see children and teenagers, like apparitions or woodland creatures from a C.S. Lewis novel, waiting in the bitter cold for the rumbling school bus to arrive along our town roads. If I passed by five minutes earlier or later they would not have been there, appearing and vanishing in the flicker of my headlights. Did they kiss their parents goodbye before they rushed out the door?
As my daughter and I go our separate ways each morning, I see her with her pink and purple sparkly backpack, hairclips and boots (having already changed twice, like a real-time performance art piece that invents and reinvents itself constantly). She goes to school, and I go to work. Somehow, in spite of what I read in the morning paper, I am actually able to trust that things are going to be fine. And like so many other parents, I am able to lose myself in my work during the day, and almost forget about her. Almost.
There is a whole lifetime that happens between 9 am and 3 pm, a lifetime that begins at the end of our driveway. To the parent, it is an invisible existence. From kindergarten to 12th grade, no matter how involved you are with your child’s school day, there is a lot you miss. That spot where the school bus stops at the end of the driveway is a membrane between home and school. Children and teenagers stand out there vulnerable, brave, trusting that they are safe. Trusting that we cherish life itself.

In 1921, the manufacturer J.A. Carp commissioned H.Th. Teeuwisse, the then Government Architect, to design this villa with servant's quarters and a garage. Teeuwisse let his assistant J. Crouwel Jr. work up the design in a style akin to Amsterdam School. Shaped like an airplane in plan, the villa boasts a central hall with a well and leaded-glass ceiling. The house is dominated by the tower, and by the steeply raked mansard roof which suggests a single level instead of two. The layout of the grounds and the design of the staff residence attest to a similarly sensitive treatment. At present the house is being used as an architect's office.

The app can coexist with your regular WhatsApp app, so you can keep the latter for your personal communication over your mobile number and the former for your business messages over your landline number.
WhatsApp Business first made its debut back in September 2017 but only as a beta at that point and only select parties got to experience it. The lucky five are: Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the US. For now, WhatsApp Business is only available on Android, with no mention of when it will roll out for iOS as well.
Many of WhatsApp's more than 1 billion users already employ the mobile messaging application to communicate with small businesses, but entrepreneurs around the world will soon have a separate, dedicated app for chatting with their customers.
More than 80 percent of its small-business users in Brazil and India say they find the app helpful for communicating with customers, according to a study WhatsApp cited yesterday. To make things easier and to shorten response times, businesses can also take advantage of quick replies based on their previous written responses. And users will continue to have full control over the messages they receive, with the ability to block any number, including businesses, as well as report spam.
The business version of the app will be fully integrated with the web version so that it is easy to manage and also manage large quantities of incoming content. WhatsApp added that it aimed to develop new business apps that would "apply what we've learned helping people connect with each other to helping people connect with businesses that are important to them". Over time, they will be given confirmed accounts once it's been verified that the account phone number matches the business phone number. The Confirmed Account will further assure customers that they are talking to a legitimate business.
"What we saw was a need for businesses to have more efficient tools", WhatsApp chief operating officer Matt Idema said in an interview with Reuters.

Back in February, Italy-based cryptocurrency exchange desk BitGrail reported that hackers had made off with $195 million worth of Nano (XRB) coins. But it seems not all hope is lost for duped investors: the exchange desk has revealed its intentions to issue refunds to affected customers in the near future.
Founder Francesco Firano – better known under his pseudonym ‘The Bomber’ around the web – took to Twitter to announce that, contrary to initial plans, the hacked cryptocurrency exchange desk will remain functional. Firano further added that BitGrail will compensate users for the stolen XRB coins, at least partially.
Interestingly, BitGrail still refuses to accept responsibility for the breach.
Instead, the company is blaming the massive mishap on “faults in […] Nano’s software.” The message further reads that there is an ongoing investigation, which will purportedly confirm the exchange desk had no fault in the theft. Firano has yet to provide more details with regards to the investigation.
“Those grounds are alone sufficient to relieve BitGrail S.r.l of any refund obligation and/or repayment of the stolen amounts,” the statement adds. Having said that, the exchange will still proceed with refunding its users.
A couple of weeks back, Firano briefly contemplated closing down BitGrail and leaving numerous duped Nano investors empty-handed; or, alternatively, re-opening the exchange desk with the promise to eventually reimburse all stolen funds to users sometime in the future. The new plan expands on the latter vision, but with some minor changes.
Firano previously said that in case BitGrail continues to operate, Nano investors will immediately receive 20 percent of their lost XRB coins, assuring the remaining 80 percent will be paid out sometime in the future.
BitGrail says that affected users should already see 20 percent of the stolen funds credited to their accounts. But it seems the remaining 80 percent will be refunded not in XRB, but the new BitGrail Shares (BGS) token.
But here is the kicker: BGS token refunds will be credited exclusively to users who accept BitGrail’s settlement agreement. Agreeing to the updated terms practically means signing away all your rights for further legal action. It also leaves you with no legal recourse in case BitGrail fails to honor its refund promises.
The shifty settlement agreement “will be characterised [sic] by an expressed renouncement from the users to every type of legal action, and will have to be formalized through the compilation of a form,” the statement stipulates. “The last will have to be printed, signed and uplodaded with the attached documents,” it adds.
Another red flag is that users will absolutely no way of depositing or withdrawing the new BGS token – it will be exclusively available for trading on BitGrail.
While users could technically exchange it for another currency if they want liquidate their BGS position in advance, they could only do so “whenever there is an adequate market situation with the desired price”; it remains to be seen whether BitGrail can ensure market liquidity though.
Firano added that – as part of BitGrail’s goal to grow its cash fund – the exchange desk will use 50 percent of all trading fee revenue to reacquire BGS tokens from users at a fixed rate of $10.5. There is no clear timeline for how long this process will take.
In a way, BitGrail’s refund plan hinges on the assumption that users will continue to trust the exchange desk for their trading activities. If not, there will simply be no trading fee revenue to redistribute; and given how poorly BitGrail has handled the Nano hack so far, this seems like a plausible outcome.
Prior to the $195 million breach, Nano accounted for over 80 percent of BitGrail’s entire trading volume. By contrast, back then this represented a quarter of all Nano trading activity worldwide.
Following the BitGrail hack, Nano has been listed on several other exchanges, including Binance.
In the aftermath of the $195-million theft, many Nano investors felt the company should be held responsible for partnering up with a shady exchange desk.
“We now have sufficient reason to believe that Firano has been misleading the Nano Core Team and the community regarding the solvency of the BitGrail exchange for a significant period of time,” the company added, suggesting Firano might have deliberately misled Nano and its investors for personal gains.
We know that the transactions Firano has claimed as “unauthorized” took place in October 2017, which matches the transaction database timestamps provided by Firano. There has been no evidence that the Nano protocol was responsible for any loss of funds from Bitgrail.
There is evidence, however, that there was a bug in the Bitgrail software, as members of the community reported negative balances and receiving more digital currency then they should have when withdrawing money from Bitgrail. Our team is assisting law enforcement with their investigation into the Bitgrail hack and we are dedicated to the efforts of the victims in pursuing their claims.

The Imperial Theatre was operating prior to 1941. It was screening Spanish language films from 1943, and continued until at least 1952.
It has since been demolished.
There’s a photo of the 01 South block of El Dorado Street showing the Imperial Theatre on this web page. Scroll about 1/3 of the way down the page to the bold-type line that says “9 South El Dorado” and click the adjacent thumbnail photo. The Imperial’s marquee can be seen just left of center.

Print Media in the last few decades has continued to evolve, merging together past traditions with progressive techniques utilized in the creation of image making. Many of these alternative processes have developed out of collective studio environments and DIY projects that push the limits of interdisciplinary exchange. As a medium historically connected to works on paper, how are we influenced by the transforming nature of the multiple? Contemporary matrices lend themselves to a variety of materials and formats that synthesize analog and digital methods. This session invites artists with interests that promote cross-disciplinary explorations of printmaking, ceramics, laser technologies, alternative digital-photographic processes and interactive media.

The decision in Merrix -v- Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust EWHC 346 (QB) is not being appealed by the defendant.
The rationale is, apparently, that the defendant did not want to risk losing the listing of the appeal in Harrison v Coventry NHS Trust, Unreported 16 August 2016 (one of the cases mentioned in the Merrix judgment). This is another decision on the relationship between the budget and assessment of costs, The Harrison case is listed (on a floating basis) in the Court of Appeal in May.

Spiegel argues that this kind of simulation shows that astronomers should not think of habitability as an all-or-nothing thing. It makes more sense to think in terms of "fractional habitability", he says, as in what fraction of a planet's surface is habitable, for what fraction of the year, or for what fraction of its history. "Even the Earth is not 100 per cent habitable, at least by the standard liquid-water definition," Spiegel points out. "Parts of the planet are frozen part of the time. Parts of the planet are frozen all of the time."
This year, a team led by Brian Jackson of the University of Arizona in Tucson explored the extent to which some planets have internal heat sources. Planets orbiting close to a star or with non-circular, eccentric orbits move towards and away from their star in the course of an orbit. As a result, they are stretched and squeezed by variations in the gravitational pull from their star, and this causes enough friction in their interiors to generate heat.
There is always the chance that the search for liquid water on the surface may be missing the point. What if exotic forms of life could thrive where there is no liquid water at all - swimming around in lakes of liquid methane on Saturn's frigid moon, Titan, for example? "One should not rule out the notion that a kind of life or organised chemistry could exist in that kind of liquid," says Lunine. "Let's cast the net broadly."

With all the recent attention on childhood obesity and other health issues affecting our kids, you're probably concerned about whether your child is getting enough exercise. How can you ensure the roots of a sedentary life are not already taking hold?
1. How much time does your child watch television, play video games and spend on her computer?
2. Does your child have sports/fitness equipment? Does she use it?
Has your child ever asked for athletic equipment? Or have you made it easily accessible? You can't expect a child to get fit without the proper equipment. Remember, it's easy to motivate your child to perform an activity if there are lots of accessories to gear-up with. If your child already has a gamut of balls, bats and gloves, brainstorm ways to ensure the props are used more often. What will motivate your child to go for a quick game of tennis or go for a run around the block? Find a way to integrate some physical activity into each day.
3. What is your child's opinion of sports and exercise?
Encourage your child to follow some type of sport or movement activity-martial arts, the swim team, hiking, whatever it is he or she does best. Start building positive associations now and provide physically fit role models for your child.
4. How much time do you spend exercising?
Perhaps the most important question to ask is how much time you actually spend exercising. You are your child's best role model. If you don't exercise regularly, do you really think your child will grow up to adopt an active lifestyle? Not likely. The best protection you can give your child against premature heart disease, obesity and diabetes is to make sure he or she exercises on a regular basis. This may mean you have to run around the park, go on hikes, and ride a bike or swim right alongside your child. If so, do it! It's well worth the effort...For both of you.

Several groups of scammers are fleecing North Americans by telephone from San José, but it looks like little will be done about it.
In addition to the scammers, the benefactors appear to be the local telephone company and several companies that transfer funds, including Western Union.
Phone rooms have been selling various investment opportunities and other get-rich-quick schemes for years. Now the city is becoming a base for an advanced fee lottery scam and for the sale of non-existent computers.
For the fake lottery and the computer scam, participants have said the money is channeled through Western Union. Both are bold crimes that depend on fluent English speakers to close the deal with the suckers in the United States or Canada. The computers are offered at an excellent price because they do not exist. The lottery is simply a ploy to get supposed winners to send several hundred dollars in "administrative fees."
Those who do the calling say they can make $200 to $300 a day and they are paid daily.
The Sección de Fraudes of the Judicial Investigation Organization reports that it has no investigations under way because it has no complaints, according to a spokesman for the agency.
The scamsters rely on the likelihood that victims will not make a report. To do so takes some effort. The victim in North American would have to travel to the nearest Costa Rican consulate to make a report, said the spokesman for the Judicial Investigation Organization.
An alternative, according to the spokesman would be for U.S. victims to contact the U.S. Embassy here. However, the concept of telephone fraud is so far below the embassy radar it has not even been mentioned in the description of typical crimes in the annual country report.
Scammers also depend on victims being too embarrassed to report the telephone theft of a relatively small amount of money.
There is no indication that the fraud rings are connected with larger, better known branches of organized crime. However, those who run them are believed to be North Americans.
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, which holds the telephone monopoly, has not been anxious to crack down on this form of wire fraud. The scammers only get cut off if they don't pay the phone bill.
However, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has taken notice of the scammers. The agency, which protects U.S. consumers, said "In a new spin on the age-old sweepstakes scam, crooks are getting bolder, using names of government agencies and legitimate phone numbers that mask where they’re calling from. Claiming to represent 'the national consumer protection agency,' the non-existent National Sweepstakes Bureau, and even the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), they say that the delivery of the sweepstakes prize is being supervised by the supposed government agency. And they’re using Internet technology to make it appear that they’re calling from Washington, DC, the nation’s capital, or the consumer’s own area code."
"Hold on to your money, the FTC said in a pre-Christmas alert. "Scammers pressure people to wire money through commercial money transfer companies like Western Union because wiring money is the same as sending cash. If you discover you’ve been scammed, the money’s gone, and there’s very little chance of recovery.
"Likewise, resist any push to send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier. Con artists recommend these services so they can get to your money before you realize you’ve been cheated."
The FTC did not mention Costa Rica in the alert, but the agency did use Costa Rica as a searchable keyword for the document.
The Ramírez family thought that they would know the fate of their beachside restaurant Mar y Sombra by Monday, but although a letter from the Municipalidad de Aguirre says otherwise, the family is adamant that the demolition of the restaurant is not yet set in stone.
The family's hopes rely on a legal loophole which the municipality seems to be content to let the restaurant use. Mar y Sombra has to pay its annual patente or income tax, but as long as the legality of the restaurant is under dispute, the municipality cannot accept the tax. And while the dispute over the patente is going on, the municipality won't close the restaurant.
A letter by Victor Hugo Acuña Zúñiga of the Municipalidad de Aguirre said simply that the restaurant's license is in review so, therefore, the municipality doesn't know the exact amount it should charge Mar y Sombra. What the letter doesn't mention is that while all this is being sorted out, the restaurant can stay in operation.
The Manuel Antonio fixture has been an object of a land dispute for much of its 40-year existence. A law passed in the 1970s states that all property withing 50 meters of the high-tide mark is public property on which no building can rest. Mar y Sombra sits inside this zone. In 2003 the municipality issued an order for the demolition of the restaurant but the Ramírez family lawyer negotiated the order away. The building was slated to be demolished again Jan. 23 but the lawyer filed an appeal again.
That day, tourists and residents protested as a front-end loader began piling up tables and benches. Some even chained themselves to the building to prevent the demolition.
The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional said that the rain has been very limited and scattered and, as a result, the Comisión de Prevención de Riesgos y Atención de Emergencias has also lifted the yellow alert it had issued for the region.
The commission is now asking local emergency committees to refill the food, blankets and water they used for the persons temporarily driven from their homes and to also keep an eye on those areas most susceptible to flooding and landslides in case the rain should return.
The Ministerio de Gobernación, Policía y Seguridad Pública's air evacuation plane was put to good use Monday.
Gerald Vargas Ugalde, a 9-year-old youth in Limón was airlifted to Juan Santamaría international airport then taken by ambulance to the Hospital Nacional del Niño after being hit by a car. The driver sped away, and no details were available about the vehicle, said the security ministry.
The air evacuation plane was also used in the cases of 24-year-old Mónica Quirós Salazar, who gave birth prematurely, and 24-year-old Evelyn Meza Morales, who was having problems with her pregnancy. Both women were taken to the capital and then Hospital Calderón Guardia from Coto 47 de Corredores in the southern part of the country.
The Stu Apte Fly Fishing Sailfish Tournament starts today at Golfito Sailfish Rancho, and 28 anglers are scheduled to compete, organizers said.
Fishing starts today with anglers forming teams of two for the competition. Each team will have an International Game Fishing Association certified observer aboard their boat. The awards are scheduled for Friday at Golfito Sailfish Rancho, organizers said. The winning team will receive an invitation to fish in the Rolex/International Game Fishing Association offshore championship in 2007.
Benefits from the tournament will help to promote sport fishing and raise funds for the Costa Rica Sport Fishing Association, organizers said. This organization was formed in January 2005 with the goal of promoting the conservation of billfish in Costa Rica.
Fuerza Pública officers have arrested six persons in connection with a series of car robberies in the Central Valley.
A man identified by the last names Navarro Cascante was arrested near Plaza Víquez Saturday in San José as a suspect in the robbery of a Nissan Sentra, officers said. That night, someone carjacked a vehicle from a man identified by the last name Quirós, officers said. The victim called 911 and soon after, Police found a car and suspect matching Quirós' description, they said.
Monday, Fuerza Pública officers in Desamparados arrested four men and a woman accused of robbing two cars in San Miguel, the officers said. Police said a phone call warned them of two suspicious cars at a house in the town.
An Escazú, Costa Rica, operation that used voice-over-Internet protocol services, shell corporations, aliases, and shills to con U.S. consumers into investing in a bogus business opportunity has been halted by a U.S. District Court at the request of the Federal Trade Commission. The court has issued a temporary restraining order barring the false claims, freezing the defendants’ assets, and appointing a receiver, who shut down the toll-free and U.S. phone lines used to market the scheme.
Implicated in what was described as a telemarketing scam were Dilraj Mathauda who uses the alias Dan Reynolds, Sirtaj Mathauda, Jeff Pearson who uses the alias Tau1 Clayton, David Mead, president of the firm, USA Beverages, and Silvio Carrano, treasurer of USA Beverages, according to court papers. All live or lived in Escazú, the court papers say.
The defendants used classified ads and a Web site to advertise their coffee display rack franchises. They claimed that in exchange for payments from $18,000 to $85,000, they would provide customers with what they needed to operate a successful coffee display rack business, including assistance in finding profitable locations for the racks. According to the company’s Web site, the firm was located in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and had been in business since 1994.
COFFEE --Coffee Superb Route Dist. Starbucks Type Product. Earn $2K Weekly 1-800-567-2806 24 hrs.
"Cafe Del Rey" trade name in the business, the FTC said.
The FTC’s complaint alleged the defendants made false claims about earnings potentials, locations available for the display racks, and company-selected references. The complaint further alleged the defendants did not make certain disclosures required in the initial disclosure documents and in advertising that contained earnings claims.
Representatives selling the franchises for the defendants claimed that consumers would make no less than $1,055.60 per week if they operated a 13-display rack venture. The FTC alleged such claims were false. As part of the sales pitch, representatives assured consumers that numerous retail locations were already lined up in their local area — another claim the FTC alleged was untrue. Representatives referred prospective buyers to “satisfied purchasers.” The references echoed earnings claims made by the representatives for the company and spoke highly of the location service. The FTC charged, however, that often the references were simply shills, paid by the company for endorsements, using prepaid cell phones to make it appear purchasers were operating successful coffee display routes throughout the United States.
The U.S. district court judge granted an ex-parte temporary restraining order, asset freeze, immediate access, and the appointment of a receiver. Of course, the asset freeze only covers U.S. holdings.
Nearly two months have passed since investigators started looking into what caused the deaths of numerous monkeys, toucans, sloths and macaws in Parque Nacional Corcovado, and still researchers, park officials and government higher-ups are holding their cards close to their chests clinging to the story that the animals died of starvation.
When the animals started dying, then-park director Alvaro Ugalde issued an order Dec. 5 closing the park to all but investigators. The public only learned of it when a hotel operator informed A.M. Costa Rica a few days later and a worker at the park office in Puerto Jiménez faxed a copy of the order to the newspaper. The team sent a number of blood samples to labs in Texas and Brazil.
• The exact nature of the report of the Texas lab tests on the blood of the animals remains a secret.
• Alvaro Ugalde, former park director, lost his job in the wake of the park closure.
• Blood samples sent to Texas may have been exposed to room temperature at U.S. Customs when ice in the container melted.
• Although toucans, monkeys, sloths and macaws all died, only blood samples from monkeys were sent to the laboratories.
• A report that will be issued by the University Nacional after the matter is closed will not include the original laboratory reports.
Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, minister of Ambiente y Energía, gave permission for reporters and the public to learn of the contents of the Texas lab report. However, he did not have a copy of the document.
Others associated with the Sistema Nacional de Areas de Conservación or the Parque Corcovado declined to provide it or said they did not have it.
Grace Wong, a researcher and expert on monkeys at the Universidad Nacional in Heredia also declined to provide a copy, although she maintains that all the Texas lab results were inconclusive. She claimed that the university controlled the release of the information, not the ministry that ultimately is in charge of running the park.
Ugalde, the park director, said that the park simply didn't have the money to rehire him once his contract expired. But a new director was hired soon after. There is speculation that pressure from tourism operators led to the loss of Ugalde's job.
The blood samples were sent to Texas on ice, and there was a time when the blood samples were removed from the ice, Professor Wong confirmed.
The Universidad Nacional workers are still looking into the problem, Professor Wong said. The results from similar samples sent to a lab in Brazil are unknown.
Officials and researchers say that the hard rains from the record Atlantic Hurricane season ruined the flowering of the fruits the animals eat, and they starved to death. However, sloths eat leaves, a resource clearly abundant in the park.
The park is located on the Osa Peninsula in extreme southwest Costa Rica.
A North American fugitive who took advantage of multiple tourist visas to stay in Costa Rica was apprehended Monday when he entered the country from Panama.
The man was identified as Richard Debre Pate, 47, who is wanted to answer a charge of abusing a minor in the State of Texas, a security ministry announcement said.
The United States Government plans to donate more than $23,000 in computer equipment today to the special investigations division of the Ministerio de Gobernación, Policía y Seguridad Pública.
Mark Langdale, the U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica, will represent the United States in the ceremony which is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the auditorium at the ministry.
The donated equipment will be distributed among 10 delegations where it is intended to be used against the exploitation of minors throughout the country, said the U.S. Embassy.
girl outside and then forced himself on her, threatening her if she reported the incident.
Agents began to follow Pate July 15 when they became aware that he was a perpetual tourist, leaving the country every 90 days to renew his visa.
Tourists do not have to provide a police report as do those who apply for other forms of residency.
Agents said Pate has no residency status and did not have a visible job, said the Ministerio de Gobernación, Policía y Seguridad Pública.
Pate would go to Nicaragua or to Panamá via land routes, the announcement said.
When he was arrested Monday afternoon he was returning from Panama at Sixaola. He was in the company of a woman. The arrest was made by the Fuerza Pública de Sixaola, agents of the Dirección de Inteligencia y Seguridad representing the International Police Agency (INTERPOL).
A Williamson County, Texas, court issued an arrest warrant June 27, agents said. A warrant was issued here Nov. 2 by the Tribunal de Juicio of the Primer Circuito Judicial of San José.
Pate was brought to San José later Monday.
Two get free rides back to face justice in the U.S.
A U.S. fugitive who has been in custody here since 2002 and a second man who will face a tax evasion charge went back to the United States Monday.
The first is Frankie Stephen Jett, formerly of Bello Horizonte who faces charges in Georgia of postal fraud and money laundering.
award for bravery. Jett ran Cirroteuma, S.A. and Unicorn Investments, Ltd. here and sought residency in the category of an inversionista.
The second man is John P. Miesen, who will face a three-count tax evasion allegation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Miesen, 63, is accused of failing to pay some $100,000 in 1996 taxes and of transferring all his money to Switzerland when the U.S. Internal Revenue Service notified him of penalties and interest in February 1998. In 1998 Miesen and a business partner sold a $1.2 million building and failed to report the capital gain or pay the tax, officials said. The total evasion amounts to $1.5 million, said officials here after his arrest last May 23.
Connie Fern Kinch, 86, a long-time missionary in San José, died in California Thursday.
Kinch, born Aug. 10, 1919, in Reeder, ND, grew up in Mountain View, Calif., where he met and married Esther Marie Barton, daughter of a Baptist pastor Jan. 21, 1945. After working as chief mechanic for the Valley Express Truck Lines and later launching his own landscaping business in the San Jose area in 1948, Connie and Esther Kinch volunteered for missionary service with the Latin America Mission in San José, where they served as missionaries for more than 40 years.
As part of his full-time mission ministry, Mr. Kinch served as the director of building and maintenance for the facilities and equipment of the mission in Costa Rica, which included the Bible Hospital, the Bible Seminary, the Roblealto campgrounds and orphanage, their local church, and many missionary homes. In addition to being a skilled builder and innovator, he also trained Ticos to carry on the work he started.
volunteered in the worldwide tape ministry of the Aurora Ministries, and worshipped at Bible Baptist Church in Bradenton, Fla. Just over one year ago, Connie and Esther moved once more, this time to Orange County, Calif., in order to be closer to the immediate family.
In addition to his wife of 61 years, he is survived by 10 of their 11 children, some of whom still live in Costa Rica: Rodney, Gilbert, Claudia, Bruce, Ethel, Arthur, Harold, Florence, Roy and Clara. His son John died in 2002. Mr. Kinch is also survived by 34 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
Four Guatemalans have been sentenced to 35 years each in prison for killing a money changer in La Cruz, Guanacaste last April 27.
The victim, Héctor Bonilla Bonilla worked at the border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica changing money for travelers.
Gabriel Sanabria, Aguirre Marroquín and two identified by the last names of Peña Pomares shot the 54-year-old Bonilla as he left his house to go to the border, the judge said.
They then stole his briefcase with some 8 million colons, ($16,029) hopped in his car and drove towards La Chanchita where they abandoned the car and crossed the border on foot, the judge said.
Costa Rican police worked with Nicaraguan police to track the fugitives down.
