{"text": "On Thursday, Jan. 25, Compressed Air Best Practices (CABP) hosted the first installment of their 2018 Expert Webinar Series. Industry experts including Atlas Copco’s Steven Bruno and Compression Engineering Corporation’s Tim Dugan shared valuable tips on how to size variable speed drive (VSD) air compressors.\nBruno discussed using VSDs in conjunction with multiple fixed speed compressors and the importance of determining a flow curve for sizing compressors. For new installations, understanding the customer’s end uses will help in calculating the flow requirement. Simply guessing could result in incorrect sizing, poor compressor performance and equipment malfunction.\nMost VSD compressors run at a sweet spot between 50 and 90 percent. This efficient range keeps compressors from running too slowly, which can cause the motor to overheat from lack of airflow, or too quickly, which results in additional VSD reliability issues.\nKeynote speaker Tim Dugan, president and principal engineer of Compression Engineering Corporation, explained how to size a VSD compressor for smaller systems using a single VSD compressor, data logging of flow, how to analyze this data and how to match the compressor with its data for sizing.\nTo listen to the full webinar, register on CABP’s website, or for more information on VSD compressors, reach out to one an Atlas Copco expert today.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 284, "token_count_with_eod": 285, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "What Can a Mobile Surveillance System Do For Your Construction Site?\nIn order to increase security at a construction site, there are several factors to consider. Will you hire a security guard or use a mobile surveillance solution? How long will the project take? Where is the site located? What kind of equipment and materials will be stored on the property? It's important to select a service that specializes in construction site security and truly understands your needs.\nHow Effective is a Mobile Surveillance System?\nConstruction site security specialists strategically install outdoor surveillance cameras throughout the project site. This allows trained construction site surveillance operators to monitor multiple areas of a property simultaneously. In comparison, a security guard can only be in one place at a time and can only see what is directly in front of them. Weather and lighting conditions can further limit what a security guard can see.\nConstruction site security operators can watch your project remotely. With the help of weatherproof PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) security cameras, operators can follow and zoom in on suspicious activity, often capturing license plate numbers and specific details about the suspect.\nCan Mobile Surveillance Deter Criminals?\nOur remote video monitoring solution utilizes on-site HD security cameras, speakers, video analytics, and human intelligence to deter criminal activity like vandalism and theft. If security operators see anything suspicious, they can activate the on-site speaker warning letting the criminals know they are being watched. If the suspects remain on the construction site, a trained operator can call the local police.\nCan Mobile Surveillance Impact Response Time?\nLive security video serves as evidence that there is a crime in progress. This verifies the incident and gives it a higher priority, which leads to quicker police response time. Faster police response time increases the likelihood of an arrest while the suspect is still on the property.\nWhen other criminals know that a construction site takes security seriously, they may intentionally avoid that property.\nWhat is the Price of a Mobile Surveillance Solution?\nStealth combines the latest surveillance technology with experienced video monitoring operators who are trained to proactively identify suspicious activity and help prevent live crimes in progress.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 424, "token_count_with_eod": 425, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Collected here are my posts about the changing nature of economics. Olivier Blanchard says \"there is room for art as well as science\". In these posts, I develop the concept of economics as art: vague, conceptual, imaginative, complex, and subjective. In other words - human.\nI should make it clear that I am mainly talking about macroeconomics, although microeconomics is also changing for other reasons.\nThanks for the review. I read them all, and I have tried to read all your posts since I first stumbled onto your blog. You obviously expend a lot of energy analyzing our current economic system. And according to one of your blog posts you get little financial return for that expenditure. As we say down here in Texas, \"that just ain't right.\"\nAm I right in thinking that your view on our current economic system is that it is the best we can have? Or is your view that it needs an overhaul? I think it is the latter. I think that the times it seems to work are mere accidents, but those accidents keep it alive.\nAs I once said to you, I think you are well-qualified to design a new system of economics--one that most ordinary citizens will be able to understand, and one that will enable them to have equal access to resources and opportunities that will enable them to go as far, economically, as their efforts and talents can take them. Our current economic system can never do that.\nIf you don't want to redesign our failed system, that please point to a redesign that you think will work. Or at least ideas that will make our current system better.\nShowing what is wrong with the current system is a losing proposition.

{"text": "Santiago’s Parque O’Higgins may have been shattering at the sight of Chilean sunshine and 22 Formula E cars on the attack, but that didn’t stop the circuit from being a fine foundation for one of the series’ newcomers to spring into contention.\nPascal Wehrlein, recovering from an uncertain last eighteen months under Mercedes’ rule, has only recently found refuge under the welcoming arms of Alejandro Agag’s pioneering electric series; but it was in the streets of Santiago where the young gun finally rediscovered the best of himself.\nHis Formula E tale begins, where his darkest moments as a racing driver took hold. Deemed both surplus to requirements at Sauber, and an unattractive prospect to the rest of the Formula 1 field in December 2017, Pascal’s only place to go was back to the scene of his last champagne swig, DTM.\nThis was by no means a just exile. Pascal may have never stepped foot atop an F1 podium, nor may he ever have made the pundits and fans spiral into lyrical waxing, but this was more down to his machinery than himself. 2016’s Austrian GP was an incredible achievement, dragging his Manor kicking and screaming into a tenth place which nearly secured the team’s very survival, while next year’s Spanish GP was his open-wheel career’s finest hour.\nBut he’d already been chewed, and chewed some more, until the series deemed his flavour null. Esteban Ocon had overtaken him in the Mercedes young driver hierarchy, fairly or not, and there was no longer a room at the inn. But fast forward little over a year, and Pascal’s heroics that day in Austria, which bursted him onto the world scene, were given an emotional recreation in the South American heat.\nPascal well and truly nailed his weekend, from start to finish. His nerves would understandably have been jangling throughout qualifying; a mixture of a race less to prepare for the rigours of Formula E racing than his rivals (thank Mercedes for that), a bitterly unfortunate debut in Marrakech, and disruptions in the earlier practice sessions could well have made for a quiet afternoon.\nHe’d have none of it. In the group sessions, the German made an impression both seismic in its importance, and graceful in its skill. He admittedly had the wind of Group 4 behind his back, but even so his electrifying first sector, over 3 tenths quicker than any time that had gone before, was masterful.\nHe drove the wheels off of the M5Electro, in itself a dark horse or, at best, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, certainly not an established frontrunner though. The table would be topped by his name, with two tenths separating him and Group 2’s Sebastien Buemi in second. That in itself is a feat, but it was not to be his peak. Superpole’s shootout was all about the crushing dominance of Lucas di Grassi, but 6 tenths adrift Pascal still worked his way into third with a sense of ease non-befitting of his experience level.\nAnd then Lucas was, in bizarre fashion to say the least, penalised with an exclusion. Pascal found himself on the front row, and if he were to bend his neck over to the left, he’d be seeing the Swiss flag and Red Bull sponsorship of Buemi’s helmet. Sharing the utmost row with a series titan is a tough gig.\nNot that Pascal would accept it to be. His form over the weekend culminated into a drive both savvy and ballsy, sage and brave. Spending the first part of the E-Prix an ever-present behind Buemi’s diffuser, he was keeping the 2015/16 victor honest every step of the way while managing his battery levels. His ability to manage his tyres efficiently in F1 (remember, that’s what his 2017 Spanish GP was built on) transitioned to his energy saving.\nSam Bird may have been able to work his way past in the race’s middle phase, but that owes more to the experience and competence of Sam than it does the flaws and rough edges of Pascal. One moment that signified the mental capacity of him was this; on the same corner Bird completed his overtake, and both were off-line, Pascal beautifully executed his first Attack Mode so that he’d lose as little time as possible.\nThat canny nature and wit allowed him to keep it on the road, and out of the back of his rivals, when so many others were falling by the wayside. His fellow ex-F1 debutants, Felipe Massa and Stoffel Vandoorne, ended up in the barriers either through the bad hand of racecraft or through botched car control. Buemi, up ahead, is one of the most experienced on the grid, and yet he too found himself magnetically drawn to the barriers.\nAnd yet Pascal was keeping a level head. He wasn’t just settling for second, though; for as long as he possibly could, he was hounding the rear end of Sam and placing the Brit over a furnace of pressure. It was not to be, and on the last lap Pascal rapidly dropped away from the victor, but it was proof this man can do exciting, edge-of-your-seat combat, but with one eye on his and the team’s best interests.\nSecond was a fitting reward for his efforts in Santiago, and had he overthrown Bird in the dying stages, it would have bordered on the finest performances Formula E has seen in its history, but his pure speed, top-notch racecraft and head beyond his years were all on show in this E-Prix. This weekend was also proof that his teammate, Jerome d’Ambrosio, might not have it all his own way after all.\nI feel that we’ll see the best of Pascal come to the fore in Formula E. His smooth, calm nature is befitting of the series’ intricacies.

{"text": "There are a lot of big animals in Alaska. Bears and moose are everywhere, and even dinosaurs once roamed the icy landscape. But a video posted to Facebook last week and filmed by a Bureau of Land Management employee had the internet convinced there was another big beast in the state, lurking in the Chena River in Anchorage.\nIn the video, a 12 to 15 foot long, icy thing looks like it’s slowly swimming upstream in the Chena River. Craig McCaa, who captured the video, added a frame to make the video look like it was recorded on a camcorder rather than his cell phone, sped it up just a bit, and added some sound effects. But otherwise, McCaa says, the video is untouched.\nThe frigid Alaskan river probably had the right conditions for frazil ice to form on a rope attached to the bridge that McCaa filmed from. Frazil ice is slushy ice that forms in flowing water that’s moving too fast to freeze solid. The icy rope floated to the surface and is moving with the flow of the river.\nMcCaa’s camera work creates the illusion that it’s swimming upstream. By zooming in, he cuts out any reference points that would give away that the “monster” isn’t actually moving upstream at all.\nIt may look like you’re seeing a cousin of the Loch Ness Monster, but like other mystery creature sightings, this one has a perfectly plausible explanation.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 299, "token_count_with_eod": 300, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

The Artist Showcase is a part of the Black Student Assembly’s CreEx (short for “creative experience”) initiative and showcases a diverse cast of artists of color who work in different mediums and styles.\n“A frustration within the community is that there aren’t a lot of opportunities for them to express themselves freely, without having to compromise themselves or their art,” said Jazmin Hall, co-director of logistics for the BSA’s upcoming showcase. “The CreEx Artist Showcase is an opportunity for BSA’s constituents to ‘be black and showcase our culture.’”\nPhoto courtesy of USC Black Student Assembly\nMaking silenced voices heard · A piece by Tola Oseni graces the wall of the event’s gallery. This gallery is part of the Black Student Assembly’s “creative experience” initiative, the Artist Showcase.\nThe artists involved were selected through a competitive process spearheaded by Celeste Butler, the event’s A&R specialist. An online open application period preceded two days of live auditions. Butler and Hall’s team worked to include a variety of compelling, original pieces and represent artists in different disciplines. For example, Hall cites senior Omete “M.C.” Anassi, neuroscience and theater double-major, as an especially dynamic performer. He will perform a spoken-word piece at Friday’s showcase, and Hall said that his ambitious, heartfelt and powerful poems often run over seven minutes.\n“The people who are producing this show are artists themselves. They understand the needs and the goals and the desires that they have. We want to make sure that the events that we provide are actually beneficial,” Hall said.\nWhile vocal artists and performers occupy the stage, attendees can check out the paintings and visual art that adorn the walls.\n“This should be a lot to look at,” Hall said.\nThe event is hosted at KAOS Network’s Leimert Park venue. KAOS also runs a nearby store that sells African Products. Hall said that her team chose the off-campus location on purpose.\n“We wanted to bridge the gap between USC and UCLA,” Hall said. “We wanted to take our students off campus and immerse them in our culture.”\nThe Artist Showcase is part of a series of CreEx events that will culminate in Gearfest, BSA’s upcoming annual arts festival in February. The CreEx team will unveil the Gearfest promotional video on Friday.\nHall hopes that the Artist Showcase will be of mutual benefit to the artists involved, BSA and the USC community.\n“We want to make sure every event is also a networking opportunity. Hopefully, on Friday night they meet someone they can collaborate with,” she said. “Some of our students are working on EPs.”\nIf the event is successful, it will become an annual tradition. Hall said that she hopes to involve more students from the fine arts next year.\n“We all get to meet somewhere in Los Angeles and have a showcase,” Hall said. “It could go on to be something really epic.”\nThe Artist Showcase is free for USC students and $5 for others.

{"text": "Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad is a dangerous process that people can’t unreservedly recommend, but it remains well-liked by those who want to install unofficial software and tweaks on the smartphone or tablet via the Cydia market. Here’s how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad in iOS 10 – and iOS 9, too.\nA number of the unofficial applications that you will access after jailbreaking are fairly tempting, and could offer features you’d never normally have the ability to gain access to, but be weary; jailbreaking your iPhone and putting in tweaks and software from disreputable options can lead to hackers having the ability to gain access to your iPhone. We recommend only using reputable resources, such as those pre-loaded in Cydia, and steering clear of any pirated repositories – it can be luring to download tweaks free of charge, nevertheless, you might be handing over usage of your personal information at exactly the same time!\nApple itself offers advice about jailbreaking (even if you feel that the business is biased in this value since it wishes to keep getting its slash of the earnings from official software sales). On this tech take note of, Apple shows that jailbreaking your iOS device can lead to security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened electric battery life, unreliability, disruption of services and failure to use future software posts. It may cause Apple denying service for your device.\nNonetheless, many Apple followers have been jailbreaking iOS devices for a long time without encountering these issues. But once they’ve jailbroken such a tool, they recognize that they ought to expect no help from Apple if it triggers them trouble in the foreseeable future. With choice comes responsibility.\nWhat’s the difference between a tethered and untethered jailbreak ? Tethered jailbreaks need you to add your iOS device to your personal computer and run a credit card applicatoin to jailbreak it. If you later force off these devices and then restart it, the jailbreak is destroyed, and you have to duplicate the complete process. In addition, it means your iOS device is totally useless until you choose to do so, which isn’t convenient.\nThese sorts of jailbreak were the first ever to be developed. But what possible jailbreakers sought was an untethered method, where in fact the hack would stay in effect even following the device was powered down and on again. That is named an untethered jailbreak, which is what’s designed for those seeking to jailbreak iOS 10.\nOne third option, semi-tethered, means that you will have to re-run the jailbreak process after restarting your iOS device or after a degree of time passes. From the good bargain as the jailbreak can be run immediately from these devices rather than necessitating a Personal computer or Apple pc, but can be a annoying experience.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "From “What’s up, Doc?” to “That’s all, folks”: Are new healthcare options coming to Fort Wayne?\nFans of Looney Tunes’ Bugs Bunny may recall his signature question: “What’s up, Doc?”\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwLn_His9Yw\nSeventy-seven years later Bugs’ question is relevant. What’s up with the rumors of a third hospital system in Fort Wayne?\nThe Journal Gazette suggested that the announcement of a new hospital by Lutheran Health Network (LHN) owner Community Health Systems (CHS) might be “a preemptive strike.” It may have been designed, that is, to disrupt other entrants’ plans and a signal that LHN must be committed to downtown that CHS is here to stay and that CHS is not going bankrupt. As NICHE has reported recently, this could bring into question whether CHS will ever actually build anything. After all, CHS’s promise of a new hospital in Knoxville, Tenn., dating back to 2014, has not been realized. It’s worth asking, therefore, whether the “new St. Joe” will be just another announcement and another project that is never built.\nHowever, some recent developments may suggest otherwise. For example, CHS CEO Wayne Smith is rumored to have visited town within the last few days to survey possible locations for St. Joe’s proposed replacement. The vacant Omnisource property on Clinton has been widely discussed, and a proposal to the City may yet be in the works, but that has become less likely due both to EPA clean-up problems and to opposition within the City Council. The old Lutheran Hospital site on Fairfield is an option to serve the inner city, but it is no more downtown than Parkview Randalia. Any other site would appear to involve significant teardown work.\nYet, reports continue to circulate about IU Health entering the market, with the recent announcement of a new Riley Children’s Health pediatric clinic merely foretelling more ambitious plans.\nRumors of a Mayo Clinic hospital are far less believable since Mayo recently closed a hospital near Minneapolis.\nOthers have suggested that former LHN CEO Dr. Michael Schatzlein’s recent visit might show interest from Ascension Health, a faith-based 114-hospital system based in St. Louis. Dr. Schatzlein was CEO of Ascension’s St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville and also had duties related to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis.\nFinally, we have reports of a visitor from faith-based Franciscan Health, operators of 14 hospitals in Indiana and Illinois.\nCleveland Clinic (CC) may once have been a possibility given that it had begun a clinical joint venture with LHN entailing a substantial financial investment. That partnership was canceled (by CHS, we are told by area physicians), however, making CC interest unlikely.\nBuilding downtown is not the only option, of course. We see vacant patches of land near Dupont, Lutheran Hospital, and Parkview North. All it takes is money. Ah yes, money. Money is in short supply at CHS–as is, we presume, inexpensive credit. We don’t know the balance sheets of either Ascension or Franciscan Health, but the last we looked, both had very good credit ratings, in the “AA” range. It is feasible, if unlikely, that either could build a hospital here. And then, there is IU Health, whose debt, ultimately backed by the State of Indiana, was upgraded by Moody’s to “Aa2” on about $1bb of debt. IU Health would seem also to be a candidate with a service footprint in Indiana that already reaches north to Lafayette, Kokomo, and Hartford City. A recent Journal Gazette story included this bit with quotes from about Tomi Galin, CHS Senior VP for communications:\n“CHS uses its ‘strong positive cash flow’ from operations to pay for numerous capital projects every year. ‘Last year, we invested more than $740 million in capital projects that added healthcare services and upgraded facilities in our markets,’ she said Wednesday in an email. ‘Over the past six quarters…we have produced $1.6 billion in cash from our operations.’”\nNICHE finds it odd that six quarters were needed to produce the cash she reports when only four quarters of spending were cited for the capital projects amount. But why quibble? The real problem is not cash, but instead enough cash to pay annual debt interest of over $900 mm on $14 billion, more or less. Maybe CHS’s upcoming investor conference call will tell us what the true cost is.\nAccording to reliable sources, LHN CEO Michael Poore has indicated that he believes there will be no third system hospital built in Fort Wayne. Observers said that he appeared confident in those remarks. Of course, what made Looney Tunes funny was the unexpected. Elmer Fudd (Doc) never catches Bugs Bunny. The Roadrunner defeats the best plans of Wile E. Coyote. So, could a third hospital system be the first to build Fort Wayne’s next hospital? And if so, will it have LHN saying, “That’s all, folks”? Only time will tell.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 1081, "token_count_with_eod": 1082, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}
{"text": "“Financial Capability Month,” an Obama administration effort affirming a national commitment to “equipping individuals with the knowledge and protections necessary to secure a stable financial future for themselves and their families,” has just come to an end.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nThanks for watching!\n\nA fundamental element of financial capability is financial access. And, as the issuers of benefits to millions of Americans without a traditional bank account, federal and state governments provide this point of access through a range of products and tools. For its part, the Department of the Treasury unveiled a new application for people using the Direct Express card — the government-issued MasterCard debit card used to distribute social security to the 5.5 million recipients without a bank account. The app allows users to check their balances, view transactions, and find ATMs using their smartphones.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nThanks for watching!\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nThanks for watching!\n\nArkansas, however, opted out of the festivities.\n\nThe very same day as the Treasury’s announcement, the Arkansas legislature moved to establish unprecedented restrictions on its state’s own government-issued benefit card, which is used to disburse cash assistance under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Under an amendment to HB 1017, Arkansas’ TANF households would no longer be able to withdraw cash with their Electronic Benefit Transfer card at any ATM. Instead, they would only be permitted to use their EBT cards to pay directly for a short list of necessities, including food, housing, clothing, utilities, and childcare.\n\nThe ATM restrictions themselves clearly fly in the face of “financial capability,” reveal some fundamental misunderstandings about both daily financial needs and how EBT cards work, and mean Arkansas’ poorest families will be out of luck if they need to access cash in an emergency. All of that is problematic. But the incongruence here — between the actions taken by the Treasury and Arkansas — is not only troubling, but also reflective of a pattern pervasive in the delivery of government benefits. A consumer-friendly approach to disbursing government assistance is reserved exclusively for higher-income populations; for people in poverty, benefits come laden with punitive rules and restrictions that undermine financial access and inclusion.\n\nThis phenomenon has been described by some as “two-tier welfare”: universal programs, including social security and unemployment insurance, come with less red tape and less intentional stigma than programs that target low-income families. The less well-off one is, the more intrusions and indignities one has to endure to get what is generally a paltry — and ever dwindling — amount of assistance.\n\nIn Arkansas, a mom and two children who qualify for TANF receive only $204 per month, or around 12 percent of the poverty line — one of the lowest benefit levels nationwide. In the words of State Senator Joyce Elliot, who is opposed to the amendment, it’s “a small amount of money to help people with big needs.” And in exchange for being underserved, these families are expected to over-deliver. TANF households in Arkansas are required to work or volunteer for 35 hours per week — well above the federal requirement of 20 hours.\n\nA consumer-friendly approach to disbursing government assistance is reserved exclusively for higher-income populations; for people in poverty, benefits come laden with punitive rules and restrictions that undermine financial access and inclusion.\n\nAlso disconcerting is that, while benefit levels keep dropping, new rules and unnecessary costs make this meager assistance harder to access. When electronic payment methods — a significant improvement over paper checks — were first introduced for TANF in the 1990s, the shift signaled a tacit understanding that it should be easy for all households to participate in the economy and conduct basic financial transactions. This was a step in the right direction. Yet over the past two decades, the contrast between the products and policies governing TANF disbursement, as opposed to benefits that go to higher-income households, has become increasingly stark. Despite commonly being referred to as “just like a debit card,” EBT cards, the default method of distributing TANF in most states, are often accompanied by significant fees, limited functionality, and inadequate consumer protections. Even if TANF recipients have their own bank accounts, having their assistance directly deposited to those accounts is not always an option, despite the fact that it could provide access to a broader fee-free ATM network and better support the transition to full employment and financial independence.\n\nIn contrast, for unemployment insurance the Department of Labor has recommended “payment of benefits by direct deposit rather than debit cards for individuals with bank accounts,” and urged states to “offer the opportunity to elect direct deposit as soon as possible during the claims process.” Whereas TANF recipients are defaulted into subpar financial products, the default for unemployment is the method that would provide recipients with the greatest ease and control over their funds. Similarly, rather than equipping TANF households with the tools to find fee-free ATMs, à la the Direct Express app, federal policy has vastly curtailed the number of ATMs available to EBT users, and states have used this as an excuse to enact even wider-ranging restrictions.\n\nThe good news is that Arkansas’ proposed prohibition on ATM withdrawals, despite an endorsement by the Joint Budget Committee, is highly unlikely to withstand federal scrutiny even if it does make it into state law. Under new guidance published by the Administration on Children and Families the day before these new restrictions were proposed, states must “minimize or eliminate restrictions on the frequency or number of cash withdrawals and the amount that a recipient may withdraw at any one time.” When Kansas tried something nearly as egregious last year — limiting TANF households to withdrawing $25 per day, conventional ATM logistics aside — the federal government shut it down, noting that it would prevent households from having adequate access to their cash assistance as required by federal law. Arkansas legislators have stated that they’ll apply for a waiver from the federal government to move forward with their plan — but on what basis remains unclear.\n\nMore encouragingly, there’s been some progress at the state and local levels in terms of boosting fee-free ATM access, consumer protections, and indeed, “financial capability.” In California, advocates have succeeded in strengthening consumer protections for EBT cards, and, more recently, secured a new EBT contract that will give households access to a broader surcharge-free ATM network. Pilots in Pennsylvania and Washington have sought to connect TANF households with free or low-cost bank accounts and financial coaching as part of an overall strategy to support the transition to full employment.\n\nAdvocates have called the amendment “part of a continued attack on the poor” by the Arkansas legislature, which mere weeks ago imposed a drug-testing requirement on TANF households, despite overwhelming evidence from other states that this is a massive waste of taxpayer money. And they’re right. Rather than taking advantage of an opportunity to promote “financial capability,” legislators are aiming to strip Arkansas’ lowest-income households of any ability to conduct basic transactions.\n\nAs “Financial Capability Month” makes clear, there’s no confusion about what we all need — safe, affordable financial products and adequate consumer protections — to successfully participate in the economy. The government has shown its capacity to leverage the safety net to connect certain underserved households with the tools and products to meet that need. Extending that commitment to everyone, rather than singling out the lowest-income households with patronizing and counterproductive policies, would go a long way toward fulfilling President Barack Obama’s stated goal of ensuring “every American has the tools they need to get ahead and contribute to our country’s success.”", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 1534, "token_count_with_eod": 1535, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

(from Wikipedia).\nCAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Using two complementary analytical approaches, scientists at Whitehead Institute and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have for the first time identified the universe of genes in the human genome essential for the survival and proliferation of human cell lines or cultured human cells.\nTheir findings and the materials they developed in conducting the research will not only serve as invaluable resources for the global research community but should also have application in the discovery of drug-targetable genetic vulnerabilities in a variety of human cancers.\nScientists have long known the essential genes in microorganisms, such as yeast, whose genomes are smaller and more easily manipulated. Most common yeast strains, for example, are haploid, meaning that genes exist in single copies, making it fairly simple for researchers to eliminate or “knock out” individual genes and assess the impact on the organism. However, owing to their greater complexity, diploid mammalian genomes, including the human genome, have been resistant to such knockout techniques—including RNA interference, which is hampered by off-target effects and incomplete gene silencing.\nNow, however, through use of the breakthrough CRISPR (for clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats) genome editing system, researchers in the labs of Whitehead Member David Sabatini and Broad Institute Director Eric Lander have been able to generate a genome-wide library of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to screen for and identify the genes required for cellular viability. The sgRNA library targeted slightly more than 18,000 genes, of which approximately 10% proved to be essential. These findings are reported online this week in the journal Science.\nAs might have been expected, Wang says that many of the essential genes are involved in fundamental biological processes, including DNA replication, RNA transcription, and translation of messenger RNA. But, as Wang also notes, approximately 300 of these essential genes are of a class not previously characterized, are largely located in the cellular compartment known as the nucleolus, and are associated with RNA processing. Wang says the precise function of these genes is the subject of future investigation.\nTo validate the results of the CRISPR screens, the group took the added step of screening for essential genes in a unique line of haploid human cells. Using an approach known as gene-trap mutagenesis (a method pioneered in part by former Whitehead Fellow Thijn Brummelkamp) in the haploid cells and comparing it to the CRISPR results, the researchers found significant, consistent overlap in the gene sets found to be essential. In a final step, the group tested their approaches in cell lines derived from two cancers, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Burkitt’s lymphoma, both of which have been extensively studied. The novel method not only identified the essentiality of the known genes—in the case of CML, it hit on the BCR and ABL1 genes, whose translocation is the target of the successful drug Gleevec—but also highlighted additional genes that may be therapeutic targets in these cancers.\n“The ability to zero in on the essential genes in the highly complex human system will give us new insight into how diseases, such as cancer, continue to resist efforts to defeat them,” Lander says.\nWang, Lander, and Sabatini are enthusiastic about the potential applications of their work, as it should accelerate the identification of cancer drug targets while enhancing our understanding of the evolution of drug resistance, a major contributor to therapeutic failure. The researchers attribute this vast potential to the rigor that CRISPR brings to human genetics.\nThis work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grant CA103866), the National Human Genome Research Institute (grant 2U54HG003067-10), the National Science Foundation, the MIT Whitaker Health Sciences Fund, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.\nWhitehead Institute is a world-renowned non-profit research institution dedicated to improving human health through basic biomedical research. Wholly independent in its governance, finances, and research programs, Whitehead shares a close affiliation with Massachusetts Institute of Technology through its faculty, who hold joint MIT appointments.\nFounded by MIT, Harvard and its affiliated hospitals, and the visionary Los Angeles philanthropists Eli and Edythe L.

Neeland, Hughes Research Laboratory technician.\nTitled “Coherent Light,” Nee-land’s lecture will describe ruby masers, a newT device which produces light frequencies of such precision that they can pinpoint a one mile area on the moon's surface when viewed from the earth.\n“The control of coherent light by masers can be used as a more effective means of communication, spectroscopic analysis, measuring and, for the first time, gives us a chance to probe the depths cf outer space,” Neeland said.\nNew Communication\nHe described coherent light as a more effective means of communication between stellar bodies that can add additional\nchannels of communication to our already crowded airways.\n“Each maser controlling coherent light produces a half-dozen to a dozen more frequencies simultaneously for operation than conventional methods, and provides a means of using light communication from localities\nto Discuss Light Ray\nwhich cannot reflect light from the sun, such as the dark side of the moon,” he explained.\nNeeland added that the narrowness of the stable lightbeam will afford an accuracy hitherto unattainable in spectroscopic work.\nI\n|\n“Since coherent light limits the number of frequencies, the coherent light line will be a thousand times sharper than the j best spectroscope lines available | in the optical region,” he said, i\nMaser Action\n“Continuous optical maseri action, moreover, is stimulating 1 renewed interest in the whole I field of gaseous-discharge and light projection physics,” he ad-ded.\nNeeland is a graduate of Cal Tech, where he received a BS in 1960 and an MS in 1961. He is a member of the Institute of Radio Engineers and the American Physics Society.\nThe lecture, sponsored by USC’s student chapter of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers, is the first of a series of lectures that will be held throughout the semester. The sessions will be open to all students ?nd faculty members.\nSpeaking before 175 persons at a meeting of the Trojan Young Republicans, the third hopeful for the Republican nomination compared the Nixon-Knight controversy to a hole in a football line through which a touchdown could be scored by another contender.\nShell said that ihe struggle will not only enhance his own chances but might significantly affect the outcome of the primary election.\nNixon Mistake “I believe Nixon made a personal mistake in deciding to run for governor,” he said in an interview. “He will have a most difficult time in carrying much of the state, because the Democrats, who are in the majority, definitely won’t go for him.” Shell claimed that Nixon let himself be pushed into a decision by Eastern politicians who do not know about the California issues. Compared with Warren's popularity Nixon will hardly be recognized, the Republican said, although we admitted Nixon could still be a presidential candidate.\nThe bulk of Shell's talk was concerned with expenditure and state budgeting, which he feels will be his biggest campaign issue.\nTax Load\n“Because of the tax load that has occurred in the past three years we are losing business in California,” he said. “The Republican Party is the only vehicle available for the public to reverse this trend.”\nHe said that the state is loaded with too many job handouts and high expenditures, and the administration has taken a most liberal intrepretaticn of the laws of the state to meet these costs.\n“I would like nothing better than to have in my hands for four years the constitutional right which has been ignored by governors of this state,” Shell said. \"It is the right of the governor to reduce any item in the budget which comes in from the legislature.”\nBudget Expenses Shell claimed, however, that a “bare-bones” budget would con-sistantly be handed back by the legislature with expansions of spending in it. The legislature normally hands back a minimum budget with more expenditures than required, making the fiscal job of governor more difficult, he added.\nBruce Allen for the Attorney During the earlier interview, Shell spoke on Brown's administration, capital punishment, his own candidacy and other gubernatorial hoDefuls.\nRally Group To Capture Grili Audience\nKeep a sharp lookout for Yell King Rich Miailovich and his y il leaders Thursday because at noon they will be marching “en masse” into the Trojan (.-rill to hold the season'r. third football rally.\nAmid the clatter of dishes and the chatter of voices, Yell King Miailovich plans to “raise the roof” in order to promote USC spirit for the USC-Iowa game, which will be played Saturday at 1:30 in the Co’ sethn.\nPep Band\nA pep band will take over a corner of the grill tc help Miailovich and his yell leaders with the cheers and rongs at the team rally.\nDean cf Students Robert J.

Beiing, professor of international relations, Middle Eastern affairs, addres-1 sed the group on the incidents leading to the Bizerte controversy. Dr. Beiing was in Tunisia at the height of the crisis.\nHe described the incidents leading up to the crisis and the impact cf the Tunisian fisaco on the international situation.\n“Tunisians had been considered the ‘women’ of Africa,” he said.” But after the incident they became men—baptized in a bath of blood.”\nBetween 1,000 and 1.400 Tunisians were killed in the skirmish, \\\ncompared to a loss of about 50 men among the French paratroopers.\nThe Tunisians were not armed or trairted to any great extent and there were civilians involved in the fighting.\nThe study of the Middle East is a relatively new phase of international relations at USC. Dr. Beiing started teaching the first course last year. A course in the Arabic language was added this year. It is being taught by Edmund Abdelnoor.\nExpansion cf oil fields and the economic development of the area has created a need for peo-language and culture, Dr. Beiing said.\nAlmost 200 students are currently enrolled in the international relations school. An alumni organization is being formed\nand will function by April 1962.\nPeter Burroughs, president of the school, said that the group's activities for the year include participation in the YVorld Affairs Council, the Mode! United Nations, high school day and the senior banquet.\nIR students also plan to take part in the State Department Foreign Leader Program by acting as chauffeurs for visiting dignitaries in Los Angeles, he said.\n“This is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet foreign officials and for foreign students to meet people from their own country,” Burroughs claimed.\nDuring the course of the mee’-ing.

Neeland, Hughes Research Laboratory technician.\nTitled “Coherent Light,” Nee-land’s lecture will describe ruby masers, a newT device which produces light frequencies of such precision that they can pinpoint a one mile area on the moon's surface when viewed from the earth.\n“The control of coherent light by masers can be used as a more effective means of communication, spectroscopic analysis, measuring and, for the first time, gives us a chance to probe the depths cf outer space,” Neeland said.\nNew Communication\nHe described coherent light as a more effective means of communication between stellar bodies that can add additional\nchannels of communication to our already crowded airways.\n“Each maser controlling coherent light produces a half-dozen to a dozen more frequencies simultaneously for operation than conventional methods, and provides a means of using light communication from localities\nto Discuss Light Ray\nwhich cannot reflect light from the sun, such as the dark side of the moon,” he explained.\nNeeland added that the narrowness of the stable lightbeam will afford an accuracy hitherto unattainable in spectroscopic work.\nI\n|\n“Since coherent light limits the number of frequencies, the coherent light line will be a thousand times sharper than the j best spectroscope lines available | in the optical region,” he said, i\nMaser Action\n“Continuous optical maseri action, moreover, is stimulating 1 renewed interest in the whole I field of gaseous-discharge and light projection physics,” he ad-ded.\nNeeland is a graduate of Cal Tech, where he received a BS in 1960 and an MS in 1961.

{"text": "What to consider before buying a company car\n\nThe chances are that as a business owner making decisions will be nothing new. Looking at investing in a company car is not a decision that should be taken lightly; once tied into a lease, it could be the only car that can be used until the terms of the contract expire. In order to avoid dragging a dead weight of a car around for the next decade, it is important to consider what options are on the table to help make the most informed decision and end up with the best ride to suit the business needs.\n\nHaving a grasp on finances is obviously the first thing to look at. By ensuring that one is on top of all incomings and outgoings, it becomes easier to make fiscal decisions that will require funding for the next several years. Making sure that the car meets the needs of the business and employees rather than choosing a flashy model is also a necessity. It is a work car, after all, so there is no need to splash out on the most fashionable car to make a statement when it could negatively affect next year’s budget.\n\nThere is plenty of good advice to be found, however, so there is no need to stress. Some reports recommend making sure that less than 35% of total income is spent on purchasing or permanently hiring a vehicle.\n\nWhen considering finance, it is always worth looking around for the best deal. Should these decisions rest on financial knowledge that isn’t well known within the company, seeking advice on how auto loans work could be an important first step to getting on top of all the jargon and making sure the decision is based on facts and not emotion. Choosing a company car based on anything other than evidence could cause upset if there are a few employees within the business hooked up to cars on different deals.\n\nChoosing the right vehicle will also depend on what is desired most in terms of performance. Is mileage and environmental performance considered important? Is the car to be used for short, inner-city bursts, or will it be utilized across highways and off-road terrains? By working out what aspects are most valued for what the company car will be most used for, it could save going for the wrong type of vehicle.\n\nShould a decision be in the process of validation or approval, it is important to take the car out for a spin and test it. Written specifications can only tell so much, and it is important to get a feel for what will carry the employees or business owners to destinations on a day-to-day basis. It is more difficult to change these intentions after everything is purchased, after all.\n\nBefore getting a company car on a whim and spending the next few years regretting a rushed decision, make sure that all of the important things have been considered – this way, the commute to work will be as enjoyable as possible.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 570, "token_count_with_eod": 571, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

{"text": "The fashion industry is in great debt to plus-sized ladies. Although the “size zero” trend is more or less over and gorgeous curvy models are making inroads into fashion shows, there is still a long way to go. Yet, even if wandering the mall in search for a great outfit could be sometimes depressing for those with more curves, there are some basic tips we could all use to highlight the best features of our bodies, regardless of size. Here they are.\nThis is a universal fashion rule – wear clothes that fit, meaning that they’re not too baggy and not too tight. In the first case, you’d look basically shapeless, and in the second, it would seem like you’re bursting from your clothes. So make sure you buy clothes that are exactly your size. The industry knows that not all of us are skinny and is making clothes in a sufficient range of sizes. Alternatively, find a tailor and have custom-made outfits, these are always the best, as long as the tailor is good.\nFashion trends come and go, but the one thing that is true for all of them is that they do not complement every shape and size, not to mention individual styles. If you’ve already developed a style of your own, you’d be aware of this but sometimes peer and media pressure gets too much and we get swayed by the trend, at our expense. Think of it this way: just because tutus are trendy, for example, this doesn’t mean that we should all start wearing them, like them or not. Fashion, after all, is not compulsory.\nThere are some fabrics, like tweeds or angora, that add volume to any figure. Leave these to the skinny petites, if you’re a plus size lady, you don’t need this additional volume. Shiny satins and silks are also not the best choice, if you have a fuller figure. Of course, these are not unbendable rules, so if you feel you’ve really fallen in love with a tweed jacket and you think you’ll look great in it, go ahead and get it. Life is short and we should enjoy as much of it as we can.\nOkay, what fashionistas recommend is to go with darker shades, rather than bright ones. However, you can’t spend your life wearing browns, grays and blacks, just because someone said so. What you can do, is combine the bright colours you love with more neutral ones. For instance, a purple skirt with a black or white top, or a green top with gray trousers. An all-purple or all-green outfit is for the brave ones who seriously do not care what fashionistas say, and we salute them for it. Remember: when you’ve got your own style, you can get away with everything.\nYou must have a part of your body that looks great, irrespective or because of your weight. A great pair of breasts, perhaps? An hourglass figure? Curvy legs? Choose clothes that would emphasise that part, that would draw attention to it. This will significantly boost your self-confidence and confidence is that secret ingredient that makes us all more attractive. Use colours to your advantage here: the brighter ones will highlight the part you like, and the darker ones will avert attention from the part you don’t like so much.\nThe question of lingerie is also important, and rule #1 applies with double force in this respect. Wear well fitting underwear and don’t compromise with the quality, because quality here means comfort and a feeling of being attractive, even more than it means these things in the “outer” department. Silk, satin, a well-fitting bra and knickers that don’t cut into your flesh are what you need. What’s more, comfortable underwear will make your clothes look better on you too.\nFinally, here are some must-have items to consider. All of them complement curvy shapes. First, there’s the pencil skirt. This type of skirt looks good on any shape, so you should definitely consider getting one if you don’t already have it. Then consider V-necks. Besides their elongating effect on the figure, they would focus attention on your decolletage. A shift dress is also a must for your wardrobe, as it will highlight your strong points and conceal whatever needs to be concealed. Also, this model dress looks great in any colour. In the shoe department, don’t shun high heels based on your size. Granted, spending a whole day on high heels could be painful but nobody says you have to go for 10-inch stilettos. Choose a height that you’d be comfortable with. Finally, accessorise wisely. Large bags and wide belts are a amazing figure enhancers, but jewelry and scarves are also great for emphasizing your best features.\nBe bold, experiment! Stay beautiful!", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "I recently threw a Friendsgiving with American Honey to kick of the off the holiday season! I invited a few friends over to enjoy a home cooked Thanksgiving meal that included a honey whiskey glazed turkey and lots of cocktails to sip on while they feasted! I love Friendsgiving because it brings friends closer together over two of my favorite things: drinks and food! These two things can create amazing bonds among people; memorable stories around food are tightly woven through all of us.\nPeople have so many connections and fond memories with the food severed round the table on Thanksgiving. My mom’s stuffing recipe that was passed down from her grand mom instantly brings back all those years at my grandmothers house with all my aunts uncles, cousins, great aunts sibblings, friends of the family… and you never knew who would stop by for dessert! I even remember the time I thought I was sooo cool because they gave me a cordial glass of champagne to toast with everyone when I was 12 (ha!). Now a days living on the west coast 1000 of miles from the closest family, is not always easy to make it home for Thanksgiving. Its nice to be able to gather with friends to share a meal together to celebrate and give thanks.\nToday I am sharing one of my favorite cold weather tipples that I served at my Friendsgiving: Hot Toddies! A relatively simple drink, these are like hot liquid gold! Throw in some whiskey, honey and spices in a glass and add some hot water and you have yourself a drink that will warm you from the inside out. I don’t know about you, but that’s just the thing I need in this increasingly cold weather! Brrr!\nNot only are Hot Toddies fine to guzzle while sick, they are encouraged! As I write this, I sadly have a sore throat (at the most inconvenient time too) so I’ll be enjoying these for the next few days rather than my usual night cap. There’s something about this drink that really makes colds more bearable. It’s served up piping hot, the delicious honey soothes and then the whiskey just seems to chase away what ever is ailing you. Cold, be gone!\nThis recipe requires some infusing of whiskey, so start a batch now and you’ll have delicious spiced booze for a Hot Toddy and other drinks in 2 weeks! If you are just tuning in now looking for a Hot Toddy recipe to whip up right this second, simmer down, I have you covered! Simply omit the infusion step and add fresh whole cloves to a lemon peel and place this into the glass rather then the lemon slice garnish. Add in the cinnamon stick as well before pouring the hot water to help infuse their spicy goodness into the cocktail. I used American Honey here which is a smooth, sweet honey infused bourbon from Wild Turkey. But if you do not have this laying on your bar, any bourbon or whiskey will do.\nAdd hot water to a stemmed glass or mug to heat up the cup for a few minutes. Dup the water. Add honey, American Honey, and cinnamon stick to the glass. Twist lemon peel over glass and discard. Top with the 1/3 cup of hot water.\nI will be sharing everything I made leading up to Thanksgiving so keep checking back for all of the recipes!", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "What You Need to Know When it Comes to Motorcycle Helmets The main purpose motorcycle helmets is to protect the head from injuries or trauma that it can obtain in case an accident happens. In earlier times, a lot of people do not like to use helmets due to the fact that they were not really that good looking and stylish. Nonetheless, the advancements made with technology, as well as the latest sleek designs caused more people to wear helmets these days. Moreover, motorcycles are also not complete if not coupled with helmets. There are different shapes and styles when it pertains to motorcycle helmets and they are full lace, bell, scorpion and flip-up. A flip-up type helmet was made so that riders can properly communicate with others without the need to raise his or her entire helmet. By pushing a certain button, the thin plastic shield that it contains will raise and the face will be shown as a result. There are a lot of riders who consider this particular kind of helmet as very useful, especially when they are greeting each other as a sort of tradition that they follow. Another type of helmet is the full-lace which is commonly made of aluminum even though there are other materials that are also used to construct it. Since the design of this type of helmet comes with modern bells and whistles, it also more expensive than the others. The design of this particular helmet is an oval shape which can make the face fir perfectly. You can even wear this kind of helmet for a long period of time without being annoyed or feeling uncomfortable because it has a brow and face ventilation. Moreover, the face shield it has can also protect the rider from UV rays and can help in having a better vision for driving. It cannot be denied that most riders are having fogging problems that occurs when they breath while they are driving. Thus, if you want to prevent fogging in your helmet, you must use the full-face type because it contains removable breath guards.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 388, "token_count_with_eod": 389, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "China is a large nation in the world with one fifth of the world's population. Who is the father of this large country? It is Huangdi that laid the foundation of Chinese civilization and from whom everyone can find the merits of Chinese people living since ancient times. Under his leadership, prehistoric Chinese tribal life was transformed and presented a new civilized image to the world.\nHis family lived on Xuanyuan Hill in Xinzheng County, Henan Province, Huang's family name is Youxiong and his first name is Xuanyuan. Because he had a special attachment to the yellow earth, he was called Huangdi by the people ('Huang' in Chinese means yellow symbolizing the yellow earth and 'Di', emperor).\nIt is recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and Huangdi was the most renowned tribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi (Huangdi's close relative) began to decline, Huangdi's tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandi's tribe. With the help of Huangdi, Chiyou was defeated. Afterward war between Huangdi and Yandi began and when the war ended Huangdi had become the leader of many tribes.\nMany outstanding achievements were made during the reign of Huangdi in architecture, science and culture. Palaces and boats were devised, and arithmetic and medicine also began to appear. He instructed his people to plant corn, and invented tools for guiding the direction of travel. With the help of his wife, people began to feed silkworms and spin thread into silk. In addition, characters and musical instruments were invented by his officials. All in all, many creations came from the Huangdi period.\nHuangdi was buried on the Mt. Qiao (Bridge) in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, and nowadays Huangdi Mausoleum known as 'The First Mausoleum in China' has been visited by numerous people home and abroad especially on the day of Qingming Festival (April 4th or 5th).\nAs Huangdi was the first leader with the great moral and superior wisdom that developed early Chinese civilization, the people regard him as the forefather of the Chinese nation and call themselves the offspring of Huangdi.\ndid he invent kung kung fu? was he the real person who invented kung fu?\nSurya, you should understand that there are many kinds of Kung Fu or Martial Arts. It's difficult to figure out who invented Chinese Kung Fu. However, according to the material I read, it was Fu Xi who invented Kung Fu. He was a leader of a tribe but regarded as a God later. He lived in much earlier time than Huang Di.\nIt was not fuxi that invented kung fu. Huangdi was the one who created kung fu. He created it because he thought it would would be great for the body. Also becuse he was a great philosopher on medicine.\nMay i know who is chiyou? Because it was not explained there.\nFiona, Chi You is a leader of another clan. He lived in the same period with Huang Di. It is said that he is as powerful as Huang Di. His clan members are also strong. Huang Di and Chi You had a battle in Zhuolu located in Zhangjiakou City. At last, Huang Di united Yan Di and defeated Chi You.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 725, "token_count_with_eod": 726, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Brighton and Hove is one of UK’s most populous beachside city that is filled with eclectic people and sceneries. The town is a merger between Brighton and Hove, but people still tend to consider it two different cities. Regardless, the city comprises of two of the most notable universities of the region namely, the University of Brighton and University of Sussex. These two universities are quite renowned in the area and offer a range of course for you to choose from. Both universities combined attract more than 5000-6000 students from all across the world. Student life is a hit or miss over here. If you are well acquainted with the city, then it will not disappoint. But if you don’t gel into the town, then it might be a problematic task to settle in.\nDon’t worry, Brighton and Hove are never shy in offering a plethora of options when it comes down to choosing that perfect place for you to stay. Most of the choices that you might get revolve around student apartments, student villages, student en-suites, student residences, student room share, student dorm room, etc. all of which are either semi-furnished or fully furnished. The amenities and facilities are of plenty, and you can use them as and when you wish. The rent that you might pay is a bit steep as it starts at 95 pounds per week and can go around the region of 300 pounds per week. Well, you might have to decide on the costs as some of the bills might be included along with the rent that you would be paying.\nDespite the city being a tad bit short, there are plenty of travel options in the town. Public buses and cabs are one of the many options that you can take to travel in and around the city. The second option what people prefer is to take up walking or cycling to get from point A to point B. all of the accommodation options stated above are located close by to your respective universities or colleges. So, feel free to either walk to them or take up a cycle to get to your particular destination.\nIf you are in for some wild nightlife and have the time of your life, then you might be disappointed. Well, the city does have bars and pubs to give you an adrenaline rush, but other than this, there are beach side restaurants, cafes and clubs where you can have some peace of mind. Recreational centers of different sorts can be found in and around the city. So, explore the city to scavenge things that could be useful for you in some way or the other — all the best.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "The Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena, situated in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region in the centre of France, is an emblematic segment of the West European Rift, created in the aftermath of the formation of the Alps 35 million years ago. The property comprises 24,223 ha with a 16,307 ha buffer zone configured to provide strategic protection in key areas. The boundaries of the property were drawn up to include geological features and landscapes which characterise the tectono-volcanic assemblage and include the long Limagne fault, the scenic alignment of the Chaîne des Puys volcanoes, and the inverted relief of the Montagne de la Serre. Together these demonstrate how the continental crust cracks, then collapses, allowing deep magma to rise, causing widespread uplift at the surface.\nThe property is an exceptional illustration of the processes and characteristic features of continental break-up, a fundamental phenomenon in the Earth’s history. It is globally significant in terms of its completeness, density and clarity of topographic expression, providing distinctive evidence of the genetic and chronological links between the rifting features. Densely grouped and clearly interconnected, these features provide focused access to a planetary scale geological phenomenon and its overall understanding.\nCriterion (viii): Continental drift, manifested through plate tectonics, is an essential paradigm for the history of the Earth as it explains the current make-up of oceans and continents and their past and future movements. The property is an exceptional illustration of the phenomenon of continental break-up, or rifting, which is one of the five major stages of plate tectonics. The Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena presents a coincident view of all the representative processes of continental break-up and reveals their intrinsic links. The geological formations of the property, and their specific layout, illustrate with clarity this planet-wide process and its effects on a large and small scale on the landscape. This concentration has a demonstrated global significance in terms of its completeness, density and expression and has contributed to the site’s prominence since the 18th century for the study of classical geological processes.\nDue to its size, continental break-up creates rift systems several thousands of kilometres long. The property’s boundary incorporates all the elements necessary for a full presentation of this process. All the most impressive and best preserved examples are included in relatively close proximity.\nThe property includes the most impressive section of the fault, which forms a marked border between the flattened continental basement and the wide adjoining graben. It also contains a young volcanic field, relatively unaffected by erosion, exhibiting the complete spectrum of typical magmas in rift zones. Lastly, the long lava flow of the Montagne de la Serre, from an earlier phase of volcanism, straddles the basement and the sedimentary basin, which it overlooks. This inverted topography is a characteristic indicator of the wide-spread uplift which affects rift zones.\nThe landscape setting for the property’s geological attributes has a long history of conservation measures; it is sparsely inhabited, with the main population being concentrated on the adjacent Limagne Plain. The geological features encompassed by the property’s boundary are fundamentally intact: they are preserved from urbanisation; the erosion is very superficial and has not altered the structures; and past quarrying activity has affected only a minor part of the property. Overall, human impact remains limited and does not compromises the geological value of the Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena concerning the integrity of the property in relation to criterion (viii).\nThe property has been subject to management and preservation measures for nearly one hundred years, under the impetus of local actors and supported by the State. Critical to protecting the property’s Outstanding Universal Value is preventing any degradation to the geological features and maintaining, even accentuating, their visibility in the landscape. The main potential threats are thus the quarries, urbanisation, encroachment of forest masking the geological features, and erosion of soils linked to human action. All of these threats are managed via a combination of regulatory measures, an integrated management plan, and the availability of dedicated human and financial means.\nThe property is part of the Auvergne Volcanos Regional Natural Park (IUCN Cat.V protected area) which provides a management framework legally subject to review and renewal every 12 years. The property is subject to strong national legislature which applies to both public and private land and prohibits in particular the opening of any new quarries, mandates State authorization for any changes to the site, and prohibits or strictly limits construction. In addition there are local regulations which reinforce and add greater precision to these environmental, landscape and urban protection measures. Continued efforts should be directed toward engaging with private landholders to raise awareness, ensure compliance with regulations and incentivize good stewardship practice.\nProactive management measures are also applied to the property through a tailored management plan which is focused towards the preservation of the geological features and their clarity of outline, management of visitor numbers, enabling traditional local activities, and interpreting the property’s Outstanding Universal Value to the public.\nCare is needed to manage the balance between forest cover and pasture when seeking to optimize the exposure of the property’s geological features. It is important to ensure the property is protected against erosion and visitor impact.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1086, "token_count_with_eod": 1087, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Microsoft pushes out patches for 19 vulnerabilities for Patch Tuesday. The August fixes cover a number of products, including Windows and Office Web Components. The security bulletins also address vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Active Template Library.\nMicrosoft released nine security bulletins Aug. 11 for Patch Tuesday, swatting a number of critical bugs.\nAll told, the bulletins address 19 vulnerabilities across Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and other products. Among the vulnerabilities is a bug in Microsoft Office Web Components that has been exploited in the wild. According to Microsoft, the bug-one of four patched today within Web Components-resides in the Spreadsheet ActiveX control. When the ActiveX control is used in Internet Explorer, the control can corrupt the system state and permit an attacker to run arbitrary code.\nInformation on mitigations and workarounds can be found here.\nFive of the nine bulletins are rated \"critical,\" including MS09-037, part of the continued fallout from vulnerabilities affecting the Microsoft ATL (Active Template Library). The bulletin covers five vulnerabilities across both the private version of the library used internally by Microsoft and the public version shared with third-party developers.\n\"The issue is that developers have been including this flawed code in ActiveX controls for over 10 years,\" noted David Dewey of IBM 's X-Force research team. \"This results in an innumerable amount of vulnerable controls that were developed by third parties and are currently being used in the public. Microsoft has done a great job of providing all the details a developer would need to correct potentially vulnerable controls, but the onus is now on the developer to make the appropriate changes.\"\nThe other critical bulletins include patches for vulnerabilities in Windows Media file processing, WINS (the Windows Internet Name Service) and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.

{"text": "On this Wednesday my puppy Summer (12.5 weeks) went to the puppy kindergarten (it was his fourth time), and had two fights with another puppy near the end of the class. There were only three puppies that day -- one is his old buddy, a 3 month old goldendoodle, another one is a new blue heeler puppy (9 weeks old). The first fight was when Summer was holding a toy in his mouth and the new puppy tried to get it. They chased a bit and suddenly they started screaming and fighting! The trainer immediately separated them and gave Summer a time out. After a while they continued playing and chasing each other and the two broke out a fight again. We were so shock!! I never saw Summer like this before. The trainer talked to me seriously, said if this continued Summer will have big problems when he grow up. She asked me about Summer's behavior at home and other places and she was surprised that we only took him out for potty. She said we should not lock a puppy in an apartment even he's not fully vaccinated yet. She suggested to enroll an obedient class ASAP. Also take him out to meet different places like markets, bus and parks etc..\nI felt so so bad. Summer is sweet most of the time at home. Sometimes (especially when he is very hyped up) he would bite our hands and attack faces. When I told the trainer about it she said it is a VERY BAD behavior. I think that is normal for a pup especially a shiba? My husband and I are working on it and Summer is slowly improving. We are using the \"ouch\" and walk away technique. We train and play with him daily to make sure he has plenty of excise. We also let him play a bit on the grass when he is out to potty. We are new to shiba but we are trying our best. Are we doing something wrong? Anyone have similar situations with shiba puppies?\nYes. Actually I found a few scratches on his belly and bottom when we got home.\nI'm wondering how familiar the trainers are with Shibas haha, cus Shibas definitely do play rough. The hand biting / nipping sounds all too familiar. :)) Dogs sure aren't immune to receiving scratches during playtime. Was the other dog trying to get away? A pretty clear way to tell when it's fighting and when it's play is to separate the two dogs for a short time, then when you reintroduce them, pay attention to whether they both want to approach each other again or if one of them is trying to avoid the other.\nI also used the \"ouch\" method and would immediately end play when my pup was mouthy. I would kind of have a big reaction, act offended and storm off lol. I learned that he really picked up on my body language.\nIt's hard to know without seeing, but the trainers don't sound very experienced if they want to kick a dog out of a training class if they aren't already perfectly mannered. That's kind of the point of taking them to classes and socializing with other puppies. I think obedience classes would be fun and a good experience for anyone. Maybe the trainers of the obedience class have more experience and better management than the trainers of this puppy class. I do agree that you should be out socializing the pup even before all the vaccines. We carried our pup everywhere when he was very young and went to every dog friendly place we could find to get him used to seeing the sights and hearing the sounds while being nice and safe and not overwhelmed.\nUpdate: we officially got kicked out today :( The trainers said he is \"fearful aggressive\"in the class (excuse me? On the first day class she said he was \"very confidant\" and now is fearful?) and puppy kindergarten is simply too much for him. They suggested we keep carrying him around different places and only have one to one play date.\nI'm wondering how familiar the trainers are with Shibas haha, cus Shibas definitely do play rough. The hand biting / nipping sounds all too familiar.\nI definitely doubt about their experience of handling a shiba inu. They seemed to know this breed is independent and strong will, but that is all about it.\nThank you for your reply! That's really helpful. I will definitely carry him around different places more often.\nHere are some clips when he was the kindergarten. I didn't record when the fights happened so these clips are just normal playing.\nOkay, been watching this thread. Those vids are adorable. Actually, I think the class may be a little too strict on what they consider \"appropriate\", especially after watching the last vid. The pups were playing well with each other and were relaxed--there was no reason to break them up at all at that time.\nJapanese in general are very very polite so maybe they want their pets to be \"polite\" too haha.\n@caroline you are welcome ^_^ Considering that I see the same attitude in the US as well, I think it is just a human thing. We have very unrealistic expectations of dogs because of years of bad research, and it will take time to overcome that.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Among the many biological effects caused by low intensity extremely high frequency electromagnetic fields (EHF-EMF) reported in the literature, those on the nervous system are a promising area for further research. The mechanisms by which these fields alter neural activity are still unclear and thus far there appears to be no frequency dependence regarding neuronal responses. Therefore, proper in vitro models for preliminary screening studies of the interaction between neural cells with EMF are needed. We designed an artificial axon model consisting of a series of parallel RC networks. Each RC network contained an aqueous solution of lipid vesicles with a gradient of potassium (K+) concentration as the functional element. We investigated the effects of EHF-EMF (53.37 GHz–39 mW) on the propagation of the electric impulse. We report that exposure to the EHF-EMF increases the amplitude of electrical signal by inducing a potassium efflux from lipid vesicles. Further, exposure to the EHF-EMF potentiates the action of valinomycin – a K+ carrier – increasing the extent of K+ transport across the lipid membrane. We conclude that exposure to the EHF-EMF facilitates the electrical signal propagation by increasing transmembrane potassium efflux, and that the model presented is promising for future screening studies of different EMF frequency spectrum bands.\nit has been found that the lateral pressure dynamics of the membrane is significantly influenced by EHF-EMF28, and that this membrane property is highly sensitive to even small changes in membrane composition. Further, direct effects of EHF-EMF on the voltage-sensitive channels in the neuronal plasma membrane7 and an increase in permeability due to rearrangement of membrane phospholipids structure have been indicated29.we conclude that EHF-EMF is very effective in altering the membrane structure (increasing K+ permeability), although a description of its action at the molecular or supramolecular levels remains elusive. In particular, potentially synergistic effects related to membrane organization and pore-forming peptide/proteins should be carefully looked into in the future.\nAlthough sample heating is the most widely accepted mechanism of high frequency EMF interaction in biological systems, in our case we can safely hypothesize that the observed effects were mediated through non-thermal mechanisms (Figs 5 and 6). Recently, similar mechanisms were proposed as an explanation of the effects of low intensity EHF-EMF on nervous tissue involving a direct interaction with the neuronal plasma membrane7. Further non-thermal mechanisms were also suggested to explain the transient response of high frequency EMF on the electrical activity of the sural nerve in vivo, which appears to be specific to the field because the radiant heating did not reproduce this effect34. Thus our results suggest subtle specific effects, which do not depend on the thermal energy imparted by the EHF-EMF on the axon model.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 588, "token_count_with_eod": 589, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK\n\nBY KELLI GUSTAFSON\n\nNeu·ron /ˈn(y)o͝orän/ Noun : a basic nerve cell that builds the nervous system and transmits information throughout the body.\n\nJust like a neuron sending and receiving information throughout our body while calculating a response, the Event Command Centre is the cell that keeps Rogers Place pulsating. At only 120 square feet, this small space overlooks the bowl, with the ability to see every nook and cranny of the building - thanks in large part to closed-circuit television (CCTV).\n\nNext time you're attending a game or concert at the newest hub for entertainment in downtown Edmonton, you may just spot the small glow on the Media Level that's emitting from the dozens of video screens illuminating this small, yet powerful room.\n\nBehind these screens sits a team vital to the successful operation of every event that takes place underneath the roof at the arena. Home to the Event Commander - a role often assumed by Rogers Place Director of Security Kevin Kobi and Assistant General Manager, Guest Experience and Events, Steinunn Parsons - the Event Command Centre operates based on the Incident Command System (ICS).\n\n\"ICS was developed in the 1970s following a series of wildfires in California,\" explained Kobi.\n\nRecognizing that a deficiency in communication led to the downfall of deploying accessible resources efficiently and effectively, ICS was developed as a response.\n\n\"ICS is a platform used primarily by emergency services, but it is also being used for things like the Olympics or other major events,\" said Kobi.\n\nFacilitating on-site management, allowing information to 'flow-up' through the Event Command Centre, ICS provides large teams with the opportunity to organize an effective response for any given situation.\n\n\"Anytime there is a request in-venue, it comes up to Event Command and we dispatch it out. It allows us to be aware of an issue and allows us to determine the priority,\" said Kobi. \"It's been tried and tested, it's been fine-tuned and it works. We've had a number of events where we were in a far better position to respond and deal with those events, rather than various departments acting in isolation.\"\n\n\"It is the heart of the building,\" added Parsons. \"We have a big picture view of what's happening in every part of the building, so when we make decisions about incidents, we understand the full picture.\"\n\nAlthough ICS is not as common among many venues, Kobi and Parsons were confident that bringing ICS to Rogers Place would allow for a smoother and safer operation of the venue.\n\nAnd they were right.\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\nTHE FLIP\n\nBetween Oilers games and Oil Kings games alone, there is a live event taking place at Rogers Place nearly every-other night of the week. With concerts on top of what can already be described as a tight schedule, Rogers Place has seen more than one million fans pass through its doors after opening a mere six months ago.\n\nFrom ingress and egress, traffic, parking, fire code and safety regulations, to replacing a burnt-out lightbulb or fixing a broken chair, there are a lot of issues - both big and small - that must be monitored in and around the building on any given day. Furthermore, for each event that takes place at the new home of the orange and blue faithful, extensive planning and preparation must be conducted.\n\nParsons described the months of planning that went into the coordination of the nine Garth Brooks shows that were held at Rogers Place, over the course of only six days, as being all-encompassing.\n\n\"There was a lot of planning, lots of spreadsheets, lots of meetings and assigning responsibility, but also an 'all-hands-on-deck' approach,\" she said.\n\nAlthough NHL and WHL game days are conducted in a similar fashion as any other live event held at Rogers Place, some key differences go into organizing a concert. The first big difference being the ice - or lack thereof.\n\n\"The first thing we do is cover the ice,\" said Rogers Place Operations and Maintenance Manager, Kyle Lamkey.\n\nUsing fiberglass boards to insulate and ensure the NHL quality-ice is maintained, with refrigeration from below, the ice surface is completely covered in just under 75 minutes.\n\nWith more than 16 years of experience in the Live Entertainment industry guiding her, Papirny stresses the importance of planning and utilizing time wisely.\n\nIn the case of Garth Brooks, the tour was expected to arrive a few short hours after the Oilers-Flyers game was wrapping up on the night of Thursday, February 16.\n\n\"There are lots of moving parts. There's the conversions crew, the housekeeping crew, and the food and beverage team,\" said Papirny. \"Typically we allot six hours to convert from the ice to concert mode.\"\n\nWe basically did what we normally do in six hours, in under four hours.\n\nAndrea Carroll Papirny\n\nOnce Lamkey and his conversions crew finished installing the in-fill flooring, they turned their attention to removing the glass and dasher boards, which generally takes an additional hour-and-a-half.\n\n\"Typically, all of our conversions [from ice to concert mode] are about the same, but timelines change,\" said Lamkey. \"This one was a little more challenging because [the tour] was going to roll their trucks up at 2:00 AM, and once the first truck arrives the pressure's on to give them the floor.\"\n\nWith the Oilers game ending around 10:30 PM that night, many of the Rogers Place crew were just beginning their shifts.\n\n\"There are many variables that come with NHL games, like overtime. If there's overtime, how does that delay things?\" Lamkey asked.\n\nThe answer is to over-prepare.\n\n\"It's just planning,\" explained Lamkey. \"You stage everything that needs to go out on the floor in the marshaling area and you try to keep it organized.\"\n\nAt approximately 2:30 AM on Friday, February 17, you would have found Papirny standing at the East Loading Dock inside Rogers Place, beaming with pride.\n\n\"We basically did what we normally do in six hours, in under four hours!\" she grinned as she recalled those early hours on Friday morning. \"By the time they were staging trucks (preparing trucks to unload), the concert floor was done, all the glass was removed and retractable seating was put away.\"\n\nNext up is 'chalking'.\n\n\"Then they'll do an analysis of the building, check where the stage is going, get all their measurements and then they'll begin to chalk,\" said Papirny.\n\nChalking is the process where the Head Rigger from the tour begins to mark on the venue floor exactly where everything will be set up once it rolls off of the trucks.\n\nWith a total of 21 trucks rolling in for Garth's tour, some extra help is required on-location. This is where the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, or IATSE, come in.\n\n\"IATSE are our local support for stage hands,\" explained Papirny. \"They help with unloading trucks, rigging, setting up, etc.\"\n\nAs most of the city was asleep, nearly 100 IATSE members and tour crew at Rogers Place worked throughout the night to prepare for what would soon become a historic - and banner-worthy - moment for the city of Edmonton.\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\nGARTHMANIA\n\nWith nine sold-out shows at Rogers Place, Garth Brooks completely shattered his Edmonton ticket sales record (previously set in 1996).\n\n\"I'd love to tell you that this is typical, but this is unbelievable!\" said the country music superstar.\n\nHis return to Edmonton after 21 years was unmistakably well-received.\n\nThe excitement was not limited to the fans attending his shows, but the entire city seemingly transformed during what had been fondly dubbed by many as 'Garthmania'.\n\nFrom local TV news anchors singing renditions of \"Friends in Low Places\" to Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson declaring Friday, February 17, 2017 as \"Garth Brooks Day,\" - while sporting a black cowboy hat befitting of the occasion - the entire city seemed to be celebrating Brooks' return.\n\n\"The excitement from all our frontline staff has just been unreal,\" said Lamkey.\n\n\"This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us all,\" added Papirny. \"We are so lucky as a team that we were able to have this experience and have him, after 21 years, come back to Edmonton.\"\n\nBut this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity also met Rogers Place with some new challenges that put the venue to the test.\n\nAlthough every event at Rogers Place can offer new situations or issues that arise, the biggest challenge during Garth Brooks was the turnover of the building in an extremely short timeframe during his double-show days.\n\n\"This is where coordination through Event Command was critical to our success,\" said Kobi.\n\nThe tour told us that we were the fastest flip in any market they'd seen.\n\nSteinunn Parsons\n\nThe building not only had to plan and prepare to transition approximately 18,000 people out of the building, while bringing another 18,000 in, but they also needed to restock, clean and reset - all within 30 minutes.\n\n\"It was a really strong coordinated effort on behalf of the venue team,\" said Parsons. \"Everyone had a responsibility, but everyone also helped each other out.\"\n\nWith eyes up in Event Command, it was all-hands-on-deck below.\n\n\"We had our General Manager helping to vacuum suites, we had our Director of Ticketing helping pick up garbage - it was true teamwork,\" smiled Parsons.\n\nShe added, \"The first day [Saturday] we turned-over the building in just under 45 minutes and the second day [Sunday] was about 30 minutes. So we shaved a good 15 minutes off of our time. The tour told us that we were the fastest flip in any market they'd seen. Considering we've only been open for six months, that's a huge kudos to our team.\"\n\nThe venue surpassed this record on the following Saturday, with a turnover in just 25 minutes.\n\nPhoto by: Andy Devlin / Edmonton Oilers\n\nPapirny commented, \"Not only did we continually meet the tour's expectations, but we exceeded them.\"\n\nBut while the team inside the building worked to restock and reset, another team was hard at work outside, coordinating egress and staging fans for ingress.\n\nIn order to open gates for the new fans arriving at the second show, the team had to be sure all the fans from the first show had exited the building. Furthermore, the venue partnered with Edmonton Police Services (EPS) to assist in coordinating the crowd, ensuring a smooth and organized transition took place.\n\n\"I planned for, at any given time, 30,000 people to be in and around our building during that transition period,\" said Kobi.\n\nThat's nearly the same amount of passengers that 82 Boeing 747s can carry.\n\n\"Based on the volume of people that we would have around Rogers Place, we knew we'd have to close 104 Ave,\" added Kobi.\n\nThis is where the collaborative effort between the venue and EPS played an important role in the transition.\n\nWith a Police Commander operating from the Event Command Centre inside Rogers Place, the team was able to orchestrate crowd flow, utilizing 104 Ave as pedestrian laneways, while safely staging lines of fans to prepare for ingress.\n\n\"I met with EPS in the weeks leading up to the Garth Brooks shows and we developed a plan,\" explained Kobi. \"It's critical that we work collaboratively to execute that plan. They can't execute that plan in isolation, nor can we.\"\n\nWhile those up in Event Command are the eyes and the ears of the building - using CCTV to watch and radio to communicate - it is those who are on the ground that carry out the direction from above.\n\nAnd on the ground is exactly where you will find Lamkey and Papriny's team.\n\nIf any issues or repairs around the building are reported up to Event Command, Lamkey will be notified and his team will deploy.\n\n\"In between shows we do a lot of chair repairs, so my team will deploy to fix those,\" he said. \"We also do a reset of the 1,600 chairs on the floor, making sure we haven't infringed on any fire regulations.\"\n\nWith more than 16,000 bags of popcorn sold and 30,000 cans of Molson Canadian sold during the concert run, restocking was also something to be considered.\n\n\"They had overnight crews dealing with restocking because we had to keep up with the high demand, so all of our teams have to work together,\" said Papriny.\n\n\"Until you actually see it in motion, it's just a plan on a piece of paper,\" she added. \"But it's everyone that we work with that puts that plan and that piece of paper to action - and we nailed it!\"\n\nDespite the stress of a tight schedule, it was still all smiles from the Rogers Place team.\n\n\"Everyone was happy,\" said Parsons. \"Everyone was excited, and that's what made this successful!\"\n\n\"I mean, he's Garth Brooks!\" beamed Lamkey.\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\n•\n\nTHAT'S A WRAP\n\nFrom running around checking signage, to responding to the needs of guests and the tour, Papriny found herself taking a moment to soak it all in.\n\n\"I remember we were standing in the middle of the show for the start - partly because we want to make sure all the proper lights are off - and we're standing there and it's just this unreal feeling,\" she recalled. \"With this many people, this much energy, this much craziness going on, it was just unreal.\"\n\nFor the Rogers Place team to see their months of planning and preparation finally come to fruition, they felt that their hard work had now paid off.\n\n\"The one thing that's incredible about this show is there's no pyro. It's just a performer singing his songs,\" added Papriny. \"And there's not a lot of people out there that can do it the way Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood do what they do.\"\n\nBut before the tour came to a close, Rogers Place left the country music superstar with an unforgettable send-off.\n\nDuring the show on Friday, February 24, Trisha interrupted her own set to invite Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) CEO and Vice Chair Bob Nicholson, and Rogers Place General Manager Susan Darrington, up onto the stage.\n\nThanking both Garth and Trisha for the incredible energy they brought to Rogers Place, Nicholson and Darrington revealed the newest banner to decorate the Rogers Place rafters - commemorating the nine sold-out concerts.\n\n\"That's awesome!\" Garth said, overcome by emotion.\n\nIn a special video message from Wayne Gretzky, the Great One himself congratulated Garth and Trisha on their achievement.\n\nThe crowd erupted in an electrifying cheer as he added, \"As you can tell, we have the greatest fans in Edmonton, and in Alberta!\"\n\nEven without the banner as a permanent reminder, fans and those involved in the success of the nine Garth Brooks shows at Rogers Place will not soon be forgetting the excitement created by 'Garthmania'.\n\n\"The relationship of Garth Brooks to Rogers Place will go down in history,\" said Papirny.\n\nWhether you were a fan amongst the crowd at one of the Garth Brooks shows, or a fan anticipating an upcoming Oilers game, Rogers Place offers an unforgettable experience in more ways than one.\n\n\"I think everyone has something they can look forward to,\" said Lamkey. \"To see this building come alive, it's amazing.\"\n\nAs the tour wrapped and the last of the tour trucks drove off, Event Command finally fell silent.\n\nHowever, not all was quiet, as a new Rogers Place crew was just beginning their shift - uncovering the ice, preparing for the next big event.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

I did end up with a 3 car garage which is something I looked for and couldn't deal without in buying my first house. Our house used to be the model house for the neighborhood which actually I have found has some great benefits. The garage is routed with a/c and heat ducts (which are currently blocked off, but if I ever wanted to use them I just need to unblock the ducts, sweet a garage with a/c! ). They added quite a few lights over the 2 car portion of the garage and I also have a hookup for an outdoor garage sink (which you can see in the picture) which is nice so you can clean up before going in the house. On to my question, the 2 car portion of the garage floor is painted from it being the \"office\" when it was the model home. I would like to have the floor done with epoxy and the speckles like alot of people do on here. What all will have to be done with that side of the garage to prep it for the new coat? Will the paint have to be stripped/removed? Here is a picture of my garage while they were doing the termite inspection.\nWhat all will have to be done with that side of the garage to prep it for the new coat? Will the paint have to be stripped/removed?\nBasically yes, they'll have to grind it off as the epoxy bonds to the concrete to make it so strong. I just had mine done - when I bought my house 3 years ago I didn't have the funds to have a pro job done so I bought one of the kits at Home Depot. While it worked ok (lasted for about 2 years before it started peeling) it just wasn't what I wanted for my new space. So I had a company do the high end stuff and the first thing they did was bring in a huge grinder and get all the old epoxy off (normally they charge $1/sqft for that but I was a referral from another LT member so they did that for free for me).\nYou'll love it - almost the best thing I did in my garage. Transforms it from a garage to another room in the house if you ask me.\nHere's the thread I just posted with some details/pictures on what I did.\nIf you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to have the floor done? I thought about doing the home depot kit but have recently decided against it, because I do want it to last.\nFully concur with Ross. Cost us about $2200 as I remember for 400 square feet, and did it up the concrete \"baseboards\" as well. You could drag an anvil over it with little or no damage.\nMine is very light so if I drive in with wet tires it leaves tracks that \"harden\" when they dry and are sort of hard to remove.\nwow...since mine is 675 sq ft, the cost would be quite a bit more than doing race deck tiles that I had quoted for around $2,000. I do like the look of the coating better though. I guess its just time for decisions.\nVery nice. You are lucky... I didn't have much time to remodel before moving in and now I got too much junk in the garage to do the floors. I was told I had to take everything out for 2 days... where am I going to leave all my motorcycles and cars outside for 2 days? They won't be there when it's done!\nI went with RaceDeck and love it.\nThe look you get is more dramatic than epoxy.\nAlso portable if you move or decide to change.\nRaceDeck will give you 10% off and free shipping if you tell them you are a garageforum.com member.\nI got a quote from them for around $2,200 if I remember correctly. I guess that would end up being cheaper than doing a professional floor. I'd love to have real tile in the garage. It'd be tough to decide on a design for the race deck. I was on their site for a while trying to think of designs.\nNice garage. How about the details of your tire lift?\n2007 Exige-All Black and Mean , Factory TouringPak/TrackPak/StarShield/LSD/TractionControl/iPodDock. All stock but not for long.\n2006 Mitsubishi EVO IX MR-Only all-stock one left in the country!!\n2010 BMW K1300S-Faster than a Hayabusa!\nHow does it hold up if you spill coolant/oil or something? Does it seep through to the floor? Does it hold up to jacking up a car and putting it on jack stands?\nI am shocked---- spills come up easy--- the four post lift is actually sitting on top of the tiles.\nBrake fluid does not affect at all--- I have had some nasty spills!!\nAmazon had for $99 at one point!\nCostco puts on sale every so often as well.\nMy Race deck flooring is from 2000. It does not have a sheen like yours, I wish it did. If I had it to do again, I would not have put yellow where I drive over it all the time. I can't keep it clean.\nInspired... once again. Need lift... and cover my raw concrete garage floor.\nAs an owner of a heating and AC company I highly recommend against unblocking those ducts. We get people asking us to duct their garage and here in Oregon it is illegal because your ducting can pull carbon monoxide back to your home as well as many of the chemical fumes/VOC's from commonly stored items. Sorry to be a debbie downer bit leave those vents blocked off if you ever plan on starting you car in the garage, door open or not.\nThe grinder can be rented for not too bad of a price.\nThe epoxy is easy to DIY. I would invest in an 18\" roller to do it.\nI did the Lowe's DIY epoxy almost 4 years ago in my garage, still looks pretty good. Cost me about $300 for 3 coats of color and 3 of clear. My garage is around 625 sq/ft. Only areas that show wear are melting into it from red hot stuff falling on the floor and an area near my welding bench that got a bunch of snowmelt and the metal dust on the floor rusted and stained the floor. Oh well though, it's a garage.\nI'd guess doesn't hold up quite as well as the pro installed stuff, but they wanted about $6000 to do mine. I can redo mine a dozen times and still be ahead. I can deal with $300 every 6-7 years.\nHow does that racedeck hold up to welding, grinding, torch cutting, etc? Is it fire retardant?\nFor the HVAC in your garage, yeah, needs to be on a separate system not tied into the houses. Better off installing a window type AC or it's own unit vs killing your family.\nLast edited by nate379; 06-13-2012 at 09:26 PM.\nNever thought about it like that. Tis true.\nHmm, so it doesn't run between the tiles then?\nYeah, I'm still debating on what colors/design to use. Decisions, decisions.\n$4 a sqft isn't too bad. That would add up to around $2700 for my garage then, which is just above how much racedeck quoted me. I guess I'll just have to call around for some quotes.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1681, "token_count_with_eod": 1682, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "This could almost have been a German entry into the fabulous 'Carry On' series (one of the 'contemporary' outings of course), although I suppose the title is silly enough as it is. When the credits mention the story is based on a 'famous play' by F. Setz und J. Becker called \"Die Eintagsehe\" you know most of the action will probably be situated around one location. However director Werner Jacobs manages to postpone the inevitable for a long time by concentrating on the many different hustles Willi is pulling all over town.\nThe first scene immediately sets the tone with a bunch of Germans screaming at each other at a town meeting. The loudest offender is Willi Kuckuck (Heinz Erhardt), who's main goal is to keep the local football club up and running. He will do anything for his team, although fortunately the film does not dwell on their rigged matches for too long. Instead we are treated to the various ways Willi sets about exploiting his own family (we just love to laugh at a-moral con men don't we).\nSeveral of Willi's schemes involve trick photography. He gets the boyfriend of one of his daughters to help him out, which is strange since the lad routinely has to fake his own girlfriend's \"wedding picture\" with more boring men than himself. This is all part of Willy's grand plan to receive a wedding present in the form of a blank check from his wealthy sister Elvira who lives in Brazil. For a man who thinks of everything it is a bit strange that Willi never contemplated Elvira might decide to visit in person.\nNow Herr Kuckuck has to get some more tangible evidence. He rounds up both the real and the fake prospective son in laws, as well as a new born baby for old Elvira's arrival. When sister dear decides to stay the night the movie at long last reveals it's stage bound trappings and does not venture outside again.

{"text": "The TYMCO Model 600® pick-up head incorporates full-width air blast and suction and is designed to work effortlessly with the TYMCO Regenerative Air System to pick up a wide variety of street debris from light trash and leaves to heavy dirt and gravel. The Model 600 pick-up head also comes standard with long-lasting Duo-Skids® which provide increased sweeping performance and longer wear.\nThe Model 600 may be equipped with the optional Broom Assist Head (BAH) for applications where a broom may be desired. The BAH is controlled by the operator in the cab by a single switch allowing broom-assisted sweeping only when needed because the majority of debris is removed by the powerful TYMCO Regenerative Air System.\nThe large 12” diameter by 79” long broom is mounted at the rear of the BAH and is fully enclosed for optimum dust control and eliminating risk of “throwing” debris outside the sweep path. The fast rotating BAH broom provides excellent performance by automatically applying as much pressure as needed to loosen heavy, packed-on debris and projecting it into the air blast for faster sweeping.\nThe Model 600 hopper capacity is over 7.3 cubic yards and ensures owners a payload of over 10,000 lbs. The TYMCO raker-assist dumping system provides smooth discharge of debris from a stationary hopper without requiring unnecessary telescopic hydraulic cylinders for hoisting, hydraulically controlled door latch assemblies, additional hydraulic door opening cylinders, grease points and safety concerns such as pinch points and overhead clearance. The 600 hopper comes standard with two easily accessible inspection doors located on both sides of the hopper.\nThe 43” diameter Model 600 gutter brooms remove debris from curbs, gutters and around obstacles along city streets such as parked cars and maintenance equipment. An optional tilt adjuster allows you to reach down into the deepest curbs or gutters typically found throughout city industrial and residential streets. The innovative gutter broom provides excellent performance by automatically determining the “digging” pressure needed for different debris; therefore, owners get maximum gutter broom bristle life and sweeping performance. If the gutter broom encounters an immovable object, it will automatically retract to avoid potential damage and return to the original position once the immovable object has been passed, all without intervention from the operator.\nThe Model 600 is the only street sweeper on the market with a high-efficiency centrifugal dust separator for maximum fine dust particulate separation which provides excellent dust control while using less water. TYMCO’s engineers take several aspects into account when designing for better dust control such as water nozzle design and placement, not just adding more water like other street sweepers. The Model 600 has a water capacity of up to 440 gallons which provides hours of sweeping while maintaining excellent dust control.\nThe Model 600 is powered by a 99 horsepower John Deere auxiliary engine. This engine powers all hydraulic functions through a gear driven pump and directly belt drives the blower. The lightweight aluminum alloy blower that drives the TYMCO Regenerative Air System only requires a modest amount of horsepower; therefore TYMCO’s engineers designed the Model 600 around a smaller, more fuel efficient auxiliary engine.\nThe Model 600 is the only street sweeper that utilizes a super-efficient aluminum alloy blower that is self-cleaning and reduces fuel consumption because of its lightweight design requiring less horsepower. The blower is designed to work with the TYMCO Regenerative Air System to both push and pull air which delivers even greater sweeping performance. The Model 600 blower has a natural rubber coating that provides maximum wear against abrasive debris.\nThe cabover truck chassis allows the Model 600 to carry additional water for dust control as well as provide space for toolbox storage and maintenance tools such as shovels, rakes and brooms. The additional storage provides more versatility if other maintenance tasks need to be taken care of after sweeping such as tending to municipal parks or other city landscaping.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 852, "token_count_with_eod": 853, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "Chuck E. Cheese gets makeover; Mascot rat becomes rocker mouse\nChuck E. Cheese presented by CEC Entertainment Inc. (CEC ENTERTAINMENT INC.)\nChuck E. Cheese has been given the pink slip.\nThe company that operates the chain of children's pizza restaurants is retiring the giant rodent's outdated image - and the man who voiced its character for nearly two decades. CEC Entertainment Inc. says it plans to launch a national ad campaign Thursday with a revamped image of Chuck E. Cheese as a hip, electric-guitar-playing rock star.\nIt's just the latest makeover for the 35-year-old mascot, which once was a New Jersey rat who sometimes carried a cigar.\nCEC Entertainment, based in Irving, Texas, is struggling to revive sales at its more than 500 pizza restaurants, which offer games, prizes and a musical variety show. In May, CEC said revenue at its locations open at least a year fell 4.2 percent in the first quarter and lowered its outlook for the year.\nAccording to ShowBizPizza.com, a Chuck E. Cheese fan site, the man who voiced the mascot in restaurants and commercials since 1993 learned of his replacement only after coming across \"Chuck's Hot New Single\" online and realizing it was sung by someone else. The fan site late last week published a Facebook post by Duncan Brannan, the mascot's former voice.\nBrannan could not be reached for comment. But in the post, he writes that part of his assignment when he first took on the role was to transform Chuck E. Cheese from \"a joke-telling, sometime off-color New Jersey rat\" to a lovable, mainstream mouse.\nHe notes that there were various signs in recent months that suggested he was being pushed out, but that he was assured by the company that he was still the voice of Chuck E.\nThe Facebook post was republished by The Dallas Observer this week.\nCEC Entertainment says that Brannan wasn't fired but that it simply \"chose to utilize new voice talent\" for its ad campaign. The company said Brannan, a freelancer, is still in contract with the company to provide entertainment in its restaurants.\nThe new Chuck E. Cheese that launches this week will be voiced by Jaret Reddick, the lead singer for the pop-punk bank Bowling for Soup. The Chuck E. Cheese Facebook page now shows a silhouette of a cartoon mouse playing a guitar.\nThe first Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre location opened in 1977 in San Jose, Calif. According to ShowBizPizza.com, the idea for Chuck E. came from a generic mascot costume that was acquired by the founder, Nolan Bushnell, who also co-founded Atari and Pong. Executives originally considered calling the restaurant \"Rick Rat's Pizza\" but a PR agency figured a rat would be a bad mascot for a pizza chain.\nThe name Chuck E. Cheese was selected because it downplayed the mascot's species and forced people to smile when they said it, according to the site.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

Groups of specific-pathogen-free chickens were inoculated by eyedrop and intranasal routes with TRTV and/or E. coli O78:K80. Presence of E. coli O78:K80, histopathological changes and tissue distribution of viral antigen in the respiratory tract of chickens were evaluated. Dual infection resulted in increased severity of clinical signs, and macroscopic and microscopic lesions compared with those groups given single infections. All 36 chickens inoculated with TRTV plus E. coli O78:K80 showed severe rhinitis. Moreover, periorbital edema and fibrinous airsacculitis and pericarditis were observed in one of the three chickens inoculated with both agents and sacrificed at day 5 p.i. In addition, purulent material in the air spaces of the cranial bones was seen in three of the six animals from the same group sacrificed at days 5 and 7 p.i. The distribution of viral antigen in tissues was similar in groups inoculated with TRTV and TRTV plus E. coli, but viral antigen was detected only in main bronchi of chickens from the latter group. The quantity of E. coli O78:K80 isolated from the nasal cavity was greater in the group given dual infection. The results obtained suggest that TRTV may act as primary agent, enhancing E. coli multiplication. The lesions observed in the group inoculated with both agents could correspond to an initial stage of swollen head syndrome (SHS) and contribute to the hypothesis that SHS could be due to a mixed infection with TRTV and E. coli.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 406, "token_count_with_eod": 407, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

I took inspiration from the yummy Bo Bunny range that has come out this Christmas and scrapped in Purple, Aqua and Lime Green - how yummy does it look!!!\nThe ribbon i used on the LO was quite a find!! I had to do 3 laps of the shop until i found exactly what i was looking for, and boy does it suit!! So shimmery and such gorgeous colours :) I've used lots of paint and glimmer mist and glam on this LO - i was quite into the paint last night!!\nI've used a bit of paint on my second share for today - it's for the 1st Scrap The Boys December challenge \"Dasher or Prancer\" - scrap your boy strutting his stuff!! Here's Calvin pushing his little chair around the first time he figured out he would walk by pushing stuff. He loved it!!\nThe papers are from the Wander range by Basic Grey. They are such good boy colours. All of the chipboard pieces are from the same range, as well as those yummy tag type bits - how cute are they? Basic Grey has been doing these things for a couple of ranges now and i've resisted, but i thought they worked really well with this range. Might have to reproduce them myself next time though - they are just a piece of PP with some wire, popped up on some foam. Cool, huh!!\nYour layouts are awesome. Thanks for joining in at KIU.

{"text": "Expert Interview with Bill Flynn on the Best Strategies for Startup Growth\n\nWhy do most of the startups fail and what should you do to grow your business and stay competitive?\n\nYou will find answers to these and even more questions from the interview with business advisor and coach - Bill Flynn. Bill`s experience includes 2 dozen companies with 20+ startups among them. He has been a business advisor for 9+ years including advisory board seats for several companies, a 9-time VP, Sales, GM and CMO.\n\nIn addition, Bill has been involved in 2 IPOs and 7 acquisitions and his GM experience includes a successful division turnaround for a $120MM IT services company where he has also served as CMO.\n\nIn this interview you will get precious tips for your startup business that will definitely stir you into action!\n\n1. Bill, first of all, why have you decided to help entrepreneurs build a successful business?\n\nI think it is a shame that great people, great companies, and great ideas fail too often for completely preventable reasons. I have become a coach to do my part in my small corner of the world. I love helping organizations figure out as quickly as possible if they are solving a problem worth solving for the right set of customers or not. For the same reasons as startups, I also help those that make it through the product/market fit knothole to scale up the business which is almost a completely different set of skills and thinking.\n\n2. You have worked with more than 25 startups and have probably seen their ups and downs. What are the main reasons that lead to the startup failure and how to avoid them?\n\nThere are so many reasons why startups fail. One that I have seen most often is that the founding team falls in love with their idea instead of falling in love with the customer and the problem. They too often become emotionally attached to their idea. They forget that you must make something that enough people will pay you enough money for to make a real business.\n\nToo many mistakenly believe that their job is to convince the customer how clever they are instead of focusing on making something that is easy to say yes to. You want them to say: ”This is exactly what we have been looking for!”\n\nYou must remember that they really don’t care about your idea (even if they say they do as people are generally polite) if it does not help them in some meaningful way. The real test is to ask them to write a check. That is when you find out what they really think.\n\nIt helps to be aware that they are, like all of us, trying to make progress in their lives and their businesses. They want assistance with that and that is your job as an entrepreneur - to help them to make progress in their lives in the easiest way possible. If it is something that you enjoy doing and it solves a real need for enough people, you have a much better chance of succeeding than others.\n\nAnother reason is that you give up. Your commitment needs to be higher than the pain and suffering you will endure. However, you must balance that commitment with knowing when to move on. This is one of the most difficult balancing acts you will ever face. My advice is to give up only when, after you have tried everything you can, you do not find a problem worth solving. Do this by going out and asking all the possible constituencies if they are experiencing this problem today and how important it is to them. If they have the problem but it is way down on their list of priorities, it does not matter how great a job you do at solving it, you will have limited success.\n\nThe last reason I see most often is that you just run out of cash. You may do everything right and build something that enough people want to pay for but cannot attract enough additional investments to help you realize your vision.\n\nThe problem is, in most cases, those who risk real money (theirs or someone else’s) will be far more conservative than you. They want to see some level of traction before they invest. With this simple truth in mind, I believe that it behooves the founder to do everything he/she can to not need outside investment.\n\n3. We all know that the first thing the startup should concentrate on is the target audience. What are the best ways to understand your target customer?\n\nMy point of view has changed over the years on this question. I now think that the problem you are solving is paramount and the target audience comes later. You definitely need to care about and identify your audience in order to start, but it is not always the first thing. As Ash Maurya is fond of saying, “Life is too short to build something no one wants.”\n\nFor instance, you may be solving a compelling problem but for the wrong audience. You may pick the wrong target that has little or no interest. However, you may find that with a tiny tweak you are solving a problem or identifying an unmet need for a completely different target audience that is significantly larger.\n\nLet`s take Airbnb for example. Initially they targeted people who needed a place to stay at big political conventions. They had some but limited success. They found that the best possible audience was much broader - people who wanted a more authentic experience when traveling - and began designing their solution to large and popular destination cities in the US. It is important to note that they did not take off until one of the founders spent a good amount of time speaking directly with the “renters” to see how they could remove as many constraints from the process as possible. Exactly after this educational trip, they began to grow into the largest hotel business in the world. This is another great example of why it is important to truly understand the needs of your customers.\n\n4. First of all, the product should solve problems. How to understand that this problem is worth solving?\n\nConduct a proper Customer Development process. Get out of the office. Talk to your target audience with an empathetic ear. Find out what is important to them - where they are struggling and if/how they are trying to solve the problem today. Please note the Airbnb example above.\n\n5. How can the startup founder come up with the unique solution to this problem?\n\nThis is a great question. I have found that they may not be able to come up with a unique solution. In that case, they should move on to another idea. The best way to figure this out is to conduct a proper Customer Development Process for most. Some consumer solutions, especially in software, can do a lot of rapid prototyping with an excellent feedback loop process and iterate their way without Customer Development. However, they do have to engage the customer at some point as the feedback they get may be misinterpreted and lead them down the wrong path.\n\n6. What are the 4 best ways to test your idea before pushing the product into the market?\n\nI am sure there are lots of different ways that work. The two that I am most familiar with are the two I have already mentioned:\n\nCustomer Development\n\nRapid Prototyping with feedback loop\n\n7. Bill, what in your opinion is the most critical moment the startups face? How can they overcome it without giving up?\n\nMost failed startups try to scale too fast. They do not realize they are not a real business yet. Steve Blank defines startups as \"temporary organizations in search of a business model\". Until they figure this out, they should resist scaling. Growth is the silent killer of most startups as well as scale-ups (especially if you do not have a ton of cash in the bank).\n\n3 out of the last 4 startups I worked with fell into this trap. They thought they were on to something because that got early positive feedback and their investors were pushing them to scale and hire. None of them really understood what problem they were solving and what was the best way to solve it.\n\nTragically, one of these failed startups identified a market ripe for disruption. The customers were dissatisfied with the current solution and were looking for alternatives. The product was pretty solid and the small set of initial users were relatively happy. However, they didn`t realize the entirety of the problem they were facing.\n\nWhile the prospects were dissatisfied, that level of dissatisfaction was not enough to get them to switch to this brand new solution. The current solutions were good or not terrible enough to get them to take the leap. To illustrate this point, there is a general change formula that has been around for a while.\n\nDissatisfaction x Vision x First Steps > Resistance.\n\nAll change creates resistance. Startups are typically disruptors which means they force change to happen. The way to affect change is to overcome the natural resistance to change.\n\nBTW - this formula applies to change within organizations as well - really, any change process.\nPeople have different tolerances of giving up so I am going to stay away from that one. However, my advice it the same as above, find a problem truly worth solving, be humble, curious and empathetic. If you can do that, you will either pivot your way to some level of success or reach failure faster wasting significantly less time and money.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 1881, "token_count_with_eod": 1882, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

In an interplay of inspiration and execution, the hand-cut stenciled medallions were influenced by the embroidered silk sheers from Saletex.\nGrand Salon - With understated drama, Tomlinson’s sofa and Marge Carson armchairs make a statement in the grand salon.

Off of the foyer, opposite the doors to the library, lies the dramatic dining room. The massive table and gilded intricacies of its chairs by Giemme make every guest feel like royalty. Overhead, golden teak Swarovski crystals hang from the chandeliers refracting rainbows across the room. “All of the ceilings are coffered and the millwork hand-bronzed, but here I wanted something even more visually gorgeous,” Kubli says of the hand-stenciled, rich crimson and gold filigree ceiling medallions.\nGame Room - In the game room, a double fieldstone fireplace and Swaim’s Old World billiard table combine with E.G.

{"text": "Pistol-Packing Pol Eyes Governorship\nAssemblyman Tim Donnelly, arrested last year after nearly carrying a loaded gun aboard a jet, wants to be California's next governor.\nBy Kevin Riggs\nPublished Dec 1, 2012 at 7:53 PM | Updated at 9:40 PM PST on Dec 1, 2012\nIt's not political satire. But it has all the elements.\nAssemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, is known mainly for his outspoken criticism of illegal immigrants, his former membership in the Minuteman Project, and his arrest last year at a Southern California airport for stashing a loaded handgun in his luggage.\nOn Wednesday, Ventura Star Capitol reporter Timm Herdt was first to unearth the news that Donnelly has also opened an exploratory committee to run for governor in 2014. That sparked a rush of stories by other Capitol reporters.\nIt certainly spiced up an otherwise quiet day in Sacramento.\nIn the aftermath of an election year that proved to be disastrous for the Republican Party in California, Donnelly would appear to be the last person the GOP would pick as its standard-bearer in the next election cycle. The party's registration has already dipped below 30 percent, and it suffered enough losses to hand Democrats their first two-thirds supermajority in the legislature in more than a century.\nThe Republicans had particular difficulty attracting Latino voters this year.\nBut Donnelly, in an interview posted on a conservative website, said he is motivated to run because \"There's nobody out there who is fighting for us.\"\nDonnelly, first elected to the Assembly two years ago, was a member of the Minuteman Project, a citizens group formed to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border. He tried and failed this year to roll back a new law that gives a college tuition break to undocumented immigrant students.\nDonnelly made headlines late last year when he was arrested at Ontario International Airport after officers discovered a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage as he prepared to board a flight to Sacramento. He said he had forgotten about the weapon, had his charges reduced to misdemeanors, and was given three-years probation.\nNews of Donnelly's interest in the governorship was, of course, an immediate source of delight for Democrats. Democratic consultant Jason Kinney proclaimed, via Twitter, that he was \"giddy\" at the prospect of Donnelly's candidacy.\nThoughtful Republicans, both in Sacramento and in Washington, are talking of the need to rebuild their party by changing their message on immigration and nurturing a moderate image.\nDonnelly and his followers didn't get that memo. If he's serious about his candidacy, for those hoping to broaden the party's appeal, it adds up to a lump of coal in the GOP's Christmas stocking.\nAuthor Kevin Riggs, an Emmy-winning former TV reporter in Sacramento, is Senior Vice President at Randle Communications.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 607, "token_count_with_eod": 608, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

Marshall Land Systems selected the Philips CT scanner because of its reliability, speed and ease of use – all critical factors when supporting caregivers to save lives on the battlefield. Already in service, the containerised CT scanner is designed for use in demanding environments with arduous field and climatic conditions.\nThe containerised CT scanner can be transported by sea, rail, or on the back of a truck, and when it arrives, can be setup by two people ready to carry out its first scan within two hours. During transportation the robust Philips CT scanner is protected from shocks and vibrations using a patented system developed by Marshall’s engineers.\nMarshall Land Systems was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2013 in April of this year for the innovation category. The Innovation Award included the company’s achievement in designing deployable CT scanners, working closely with its partner, Philips Healthcare UK. Ray Cutting, Managing Director, Land Systems says, “This award is the result of a close strategic partnership with Philips, coupled with Marshall’s unrivalled expertise in developing complex deployable solutions to problems previously thought to be too difficult.”\nPhilips CT scanner is built on Philips’ innovative Essence technology, a unique combination of X-ray tube, detector and reconstruction design elements that improve image quality in every CT examination. Mike Hayden, Sales Director Imaging Systems, Philips Healthcare UK, adds, “We’re tremendously excited about this award and proud of our joint achievement with Marshall. This rapidly deployable containerised Philips CT scanner will provide vital diagnostic capability, normally available only in fixed hospital facilities, into the hands of clinicians on deployed operations and will support clinicians in saving lives on the front line.\nThis latest co-operation confirms the reliability of Philips CT scanner and clearly positions Philips as the preferred containerised mobile CT supplier in the military domain.”\nBarbara Neate\nPhilips Corporate Communications\nTel: + 44 (0) 1483 293 071 Mobile + 44 (0) 7771 814 778\nE-mail: Barbara.neate@philips.com\nAbout Royal Philips Electronics\nRoyal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is a diversified health and well-being company, focused on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovation in the areas of Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting.

{"text": "A Netherlands public agency responsible for providing social benefits was struggling to create an efficient system for detecting fraud in applications to receive social benefits. Only a very small fraction of the applications that were flagged by the system for possible fraud turned out to be actual fraud; in fact, the great majority was “false positives.” The need to investigate such a large number of false positives was overwhelming the agency’s capacity to review cases and root out real cases of deceit.\nDeloitte Netherlands invited the agency to visit the Greenhouse for a demonstration of how advanced analytics could be used to detect fraud more reliably. The solution that Deloitte Netherlands’ analytics specialists had in mind was a “machine learning” program: one that would teach itself to flag benefits applications for possible fraud and use feedback from the fraud team’s analysis to gain accuracy over time.\nAhead of the Greenhouse session, Deloitte Netherlands received samples of the client’s actual benefits application records, some fraudulent and some legitimate. Working closely with the client’s software vendor, Deloitte Netherlands’ analytics team created a model to scan the records and devise a logical method of identifying applications that appeared fraudulent. That model would be put to the test in the Greenhouse.\nDeloitte Netherlands began the Greenhouse session by explaining how machine learning works; in this case they showed how a computer learns to judge whether a head photographed from behind belongs to a man or a woman. The machine-learning model uses a “training” sample of photographs—photos identified as men or women—to create a formula for predicting gender based on a weighted combination of visual attributes such as hair length and neck size. Every successive training case enabled the model to gain prediction accuracy by changing the importance it assigns to each attribute.\nNext, the team ran the fraud-detection model it had created for the client. The team fed a batch of application records into the model. Like the photographic-prediction model, the fraud-detection model became increasingly accurate as it churned through the new batch of records and refined its logic for making fraud predictions based on each record’s attributes. By the end of the session, the model was operating at approximately 75 percent prediction accuracy—a big improvement over the client’s existing accuracy rate.\nThe Greenhouse session provided the agency with a firsthand look at how predictive analytics really works. It was also the first time the agency had seen advanced analytics applied to their work, and it convinced them to proceed with implementing the predictive model that Deloitte Netherlands had showcased in the Greenhouse. The model was eventually flagging fraudulent applications with 95 percent accuracy. The model not only increased the efficiency of the fraud department, but also stopped a large number of fraudulent payments. Further analysis of the predicted and validated fraud cases also revealed valuable insight into fraud patterns.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "On the Verge: Year of Bests – 2016\nBy le0pard13, December 30, 2016\nA few years back, I did not publish a year-end piece on those articles I most enjoyed reading for the period. Routinely, my online browsing turns up a number authors and write-ups that exceed whatever threshold I have in my head. I promised not to get caught flat-footed again. So, I rectified the issue by gathering them up and presenting each quarterly. This the last of such as we put 2016 to bed.\nIs that a leaf falling…if so let’s continue, shall we?\nIt was a distinct pleasure to read the writings of various contributors to Sammy Juliano‘s wonderful blog series over at Wonders in the Dark. Without a doubt, saving the best for last. Here would be a taste, with Robert Hornak’s at the 14th position:\n14. Planet of the Apes (1968)\n“The movie’s scope, defined by its intergalactic, centuries-crossing canvas, is illuminated and enhanced by director Franklin Schaffner’s sure wide-screen storytelling. While filling the frame with visceral action, there’s also attention given to the relative sparseness of the world, the near-agoraphobic vulnerability inherent in a tiny ape community from which the empty world extends away forever in every direction and in every variation from desert to sea. There’s an aloneness inherent in the setup, and an anxiety layered in as one sees, from a sardonic god’s-eye view, the numerically insignificant population of this hirsute township organizing itself under the rule of an ape law that requires rigid separation and fanatical obedience to a law set down a millennium before by a mythical-sounding “lawgiver”.”\nRoderick Heath’s at eleventh:\n11. Alien (1979)\n“I can imagine opening a newspaper in 1979 and glancing at a review of Alien with its plot recounted in dry ink lines, or perhaps at a poster and beholding the infamous tagline, “In space, no one can hear you scream.” I think one would have been forgiven if the thought didn’t cross your mind that it would one day this film might be considered a major cinematic classic. Even when you know much more about it, the improbability still stands.”*\n* As someone who did just this prior to heading out to get in line in Westwood Village, this is probably true. Up until you were plastered in your seat, with a whole bunch of strangers in a darkened movie halls who were also losing their popcorn when Kane’s son makes his debut.\nReturning John Greco at the five position:\n5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)\n“Invasion of the Body Snatchers is an expertly made low budget thriller that slowly builds in tension and never lets up. Filled with perfectly executed cinematography, a pulsating music score (by Carmen Dragon) and top notch acting performances from Kevin McCarthy and the lovely Dana Wynters in a gallant battle to save the human race from dehumanizing pods. Despite the fact that we see no monsters or strange looking aliens, Siegel and company make us believe they are out there, ready to take us down. Not through any violence or massive destruction but simply by sleeping, sweet gentle sleep. They know, we as humans, no matter how much we fight it, will eventually have to fall asleep, and then they will take us over.”\nAnother friend and blogger, J.D. Lafrance bringing in #4:\n4. Blade Runner (1982)\n“One of the first things that struck me about Blade Runner is its obsessive attention to detail. It is virtually impossible to take it all in upon an initial viewing. Only after watching it several times was I able to properly appreciate how fully-realized the world of Ridley Scott’s film is – a tangible future that “you can see and touch,” the director said in an interview, “it makes you a little uneasier because you feel it’s just round the corner.” This vivid world, designed by Syd Mead and Lawrence G. Paull with special effects by Douglas Trumbull, is the backdrop to a detective story. Ex-cop Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is brought out of retirement to find and kill four replicants, artificial people that are forbidden to be on Earth, but this is merely a launching pad for Scott to address a myriad of fascinating themes – predominantly, as with the novel, what it means to be human.”\nRoderick Heath’s return for the second slot:\n“Director Lang and his creative and personal partner Thea Von Harbou had climbed swiftly to the peak of the German film industry thanks to highly ambitious, stylistically radical films that provided basic engineering for cinema as it found maturity and began to branch into different streams of genre and style. Lang, working under the influence of Louis Feuillade, had taken his template and pushed it into stranger places with his rollicking action-adventure diptych The Spiders (1919), and had written the script for the film that kicked off the Expressionist cinema style, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919).”\nCulminating with #1 in Dean Treadway’s capable hands:\n1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)\n“One of the pioneering achievements of 2001 was its use of front projection photography. Rear projection, where a film is projected from behind a screen with actors positioned in front of it, had long been used to make a cast look like they were “on location.” But Kubrick thought it looked phony (and it usually did). Front projection was new and infinitely more convincing. The effect enabled Kubrick to project slide photographs of African landscapes onto a wall behind the rocky sets. The slide was projected at a very low light—so low that the image would not register as it hit the actors. But on the wall to which the projector was pointed were strips of highly reflective material developed for road signs by 3M. The huge front projector threw out an equally large, sharp, realistic image on the massive wall, which picked it up brilliantly, lending the illusion that the scenes were filmed on location.”\nOkay, time again to revisit the high-frame-rate argument. This time through Daniel Engber‘s fine article over a Slant:\nIt Looked Great. It Was Unwatchable.\n“For decades now, forward-looking filmmakers have tried to prove that when it comes to frame rates, more is really more. Douglas Trumbull, who did the visual effects for 2001 and Blade Runner, has advocated for higher frame rates since the 1970s. By eliminating flicker, he argued all those years ago, filmmakers could produce a smoother picture—a sort of “liquid realism” that would be more affecting and engaging. According to an essay on high-frame-rate cinema by film scholar Julie Turnock of the University of Illinois, Trumbull tested out his theory by measuring the brain waves, pulse, and skin conductance of people as they watched movies with different frame rates. All three measures would increase, he claimed, as he raised the rate to 60 fps.”\nI’ve no doubt whatsoever that the related criticism to the very popular The Walking Dead will not sway the devoted to abandon their series. They’ll have to come to that conclusion for themselves, as I’ve said to my daughter. Here then is the best argument, by Matt Zoller Seitz for Vulture, that gives voice to my feelings toward the show (and yes, I’ve tried to watch it more than a few times) and why I care little for it:\nThe Empty Violence of The Walking Dead\n“I’ve been writing about this medium for 20 years and watching it for more than 40, and I can’t recall a major TV series marketing cruelty and trauma as cynically, even gleefully, as this AMC saga. The rampage was hyped by a lengthy, thorough ad campaign spotlighting not any regular cast member, but Negan and his weapon. If you lived in a major city during the past seven months, it was impossible to spend a day outdoors without seeing a bus ad or subway poster featuring the grinning Negan and his bat, christened Lucille, after his late wife.”\nCan’t have a Year of Bests without the good folk over at Art of the Title, and highlighting a classic ’90s horror film, to boot.\n“The opening of Candyman is an elegant and ominous overture to a brutal and tragic narrative. The title sequence features a series of flowing aerial views captured by helicopter pilot Bobby Zajonc looking down on the winding freeways of Chicago, its Hitchcockian influences laid bare, setting up one of the major underpinnings of the film: architecture as a malevolent force. The credits, designed by studio Heart Times Coffee Cup Equals Lightning, zoom in and out of frame to mimic the smooth movement of the cars below. Elevating all of this is a fantastic synth and choral score composed by Philip Glass, celestial and foreboding, portending doom while lulling with its grace.”\nSpeaking of horror, time once again to look back upon a seminal film that brought us the type of zombies that continue to overrun us in pop culture. We speak of George Romero’s ’60s flick and Ferdy on Films does the honors over on her blog:\n“To be sure, Night of the Living Dead is no perfect artefact. But it’s the blend of cinematic intelligence and homespun crudity enforced by the circumstances of its production that made it instantly galvanising: the result vibrates with pitiless gall and insolent power, a statement from the fringe that hits right at the axis. Night of the Living Dead exemplified several new trends already in motion when it was released. The old Hollywood was splintering and a void had opened, where there were huge sums of money to be made from an audience TV and mainstream cinema couldn’t touch. The likes of no-budget goreteur Herschell Gordon Lewis had already proven the potential punch of low-budget horror movies made by filmmakers not just outside of the studio cinema system but also labouring away in what seemed to be backwaters of American cultural life.”\nMuch like horror films in October, this film makes its annual showing soon after All Hallows Eve finishes, almost like clockwork. Just as chilling, too. It’s been paraded and adored ad nauseam, but now the other side of its nature has been explored in recent years. Almost as predictably. This time by Christopher Orr for The Atlantic. Enjoy:\nLove Actually Is the Least Romantic Film of All Time\n“So take the film on its own titular terms. What does Love Actually tell us about love, actually? Well, I think it tells us a number of things, most of them wrong and a few of them appalling. Now, anyone who goes to the cineplex with any regularity knows that the last decade has seen more than its share of bad romantic comedies. But Love Actually is exceptional in that it is not merely, like so many other entries in the genre, unromantic. Rather, it is emphatically, almost shockingly, anti-romantic.”\nI like to think my mother would have appreciated a Star Trek: TNG episode she never got to see (which I highlighted some years back). Sure as shootin’, she would have gotten a kick out of Mirah Curzer‘s take of it. Her Medium article drew upon aspects mom would have gravitated toward, I’ve no doubt, if she’d have lived to see it:\nStar Trek’s Feminist Statement: Believe Women\n“Star Trek is no stranger to making radical statements — this is the show that had the first black woman as a regular cast member, that featured the first interracial kiss, that puts a woman on the bridge crew whose skill set is literally empathy. But there is something really special going on in the TNG episode “Remember Me.” I was re-watching it recently, and the episode’s overt feminism practically knocked me over.”\nThe rule of three rises again. One film in particular this Fall has made the type of waves, cinematically, Oscar-wise, and personally, that makes it a must-see. Three reviews got my attention and naturally made this highlight reel. First, Marilyn Ferdinand‘s:\n“Coming-of-age films strike a nostalgic chord with many adults. These films work a kind of magic by awakening the adolescent within, letting us run the tapes of our own coming-of-age saga alongside the story on screen. But what if you could actually feel as though you are inside the experience of the person on screen, perhaps a person wholly unlike yourself? What if you could actually feel the emotions of a difficult transition, not just hitch your trailer of memories and feelings to a familiar tune? Somehow, Moonlight, a miracle that shouldn’t exist but does, accomplishes just that, and it is sweeping over audiences like the lapping ocean that forms a powerful symbol throughout the film.\n…and Ruth‘s over on her FlixChatter blog:\nFlixChatter Review: Moonlight (2016)\n“In terms of story-telling, Moonlight is certainly one of the most unique as well as challenging. Some might think it’s similar to Richard Linklater Boyhood (though I haven’t seen it yet) with the protagonist played by two actors. In Moonlight, the life of black-American Chiron is portrayed by three actors, from young adolescence (Alex R. Hibbert), mid-teen (Ashton Sanders) and young adult (Trevante Rhodes). The casting is impressive as all three actors, despite not looking that much alike, somehow shares a certain quiet grace about them and ability to conveys much with so little.”\n…and finally Daniel Simpson‘s on his PG Cooper’s Movie Reviews blog:\nMoonlight Review\n“Moonlight’s episodic structure can probably be compared to that of Boyhood, but Linklater’s decision to drop in year after gave his film more of a narrative flow. Now that I think about it, Moonlight might in fact be closer to another Linklater work; the Before trilogy. Like those films, Moonlight skips a lot of years between episodes while what went down during that time is hinted at and inferred. Despite what might seem a broken up narrative, Moonlight does have a very clear linear progression and character growth. The parts of Chiron’s life highlighted are not random, but are pivotal points in the man’s growth. Part of what makes the film so fascinating is simply seeing the pieces of Chiron’s life and how that informs his growth. Additionally, writer/director Barry Jenkins does a great job finding the drama in Chiron’s life while also keeping things restrained. There are in fact a number of over the top/melodramatic paths this kind of story could have fallen into, but Jenkins sidesteps this nicely.”\nI can see you need a break, so take in the Art of the Title‘s look at another David Fincher effort and try to relax…oh, never mind:\n“In David Fincher’s Panic Room, home is the battleground, the safe spaces all upturned and infiltrated. When the home invasion thriller was released in 2002, American audiences were still reeling from the September 11th terror attacks in New York City. Similar to the home invasion flicks of the ’60s — like genre classics Lady in a Cage (1964) and Wait Until Dark (1967) — Panic Room emerged in a time and place that was tense and tightly coiled.”\nSpeaking about panic, writer and record store owner Matt Wake, for L.A. Weekly identified something music enthusiasts should be truly worried about:\nMaster Recordings — From Abbey Roadto Born to Run — Could Be Lost Forever, Without Archivists’ Help\n“The biggest challenge McEowen faces as an archivist? “The condition of the tapes, because they’ve been stored for so long,” he says. With his glasses, gray ponytail and beard, he looks both professorial and like a longtime Allman Brothers fan. “Some of them are 40 years old or so. They may have absorbed moisture if they haven’t been stored correctly. And that requires baking, in an oven at 120 degrees for six hours. Oxide loss off the tapes creates dropouts; sounds will either completely go away or it will fade out and come back.”\nOh, this wouldn’t be a highlight reel without good friend and contributor Aurora herself. Once again, Once upon a screen… pays a fine tribute to a director, actor, and film that has entertained and enthralled me through the decades:\nSelf-Plagiarism is Style: Hitchcock, Grant and NORTH by NORTHWEST (1959)\n“I knew the movie Dean Swanzey was referring to was The 39 Steps right off the bat because of the stabbing in the beginning of the movie, which doesn’t happen in North by Northwest. Otherwise the similarities between the two movies are indeed striking. In fact, the reason I so adore North by Northwest, which I’ve easily seen 100 times, is its endless Hitchcock-ness. North by Northwest is Hitchcock’s ode to Hitchcock, a brilliant amalgamation of Hitchcockian cinema in its purest form. We’ve seen every element in this film before, including the plot as the email above suggests. Yet North by Northwest manages to remain fresh, exciting and ever entertaining. It’s a miracle and perhaps – on its own – testament to Alfred Hitchcock’s genius.”\nRyan Marshall, part of a wonderful ensemble of film writers for the podcasting them softly site, took on one of the cogently odd and emblematic westerns of the ’70s and did it justice:\nMCCABE AND MRS. MILLER (1971) – A REVIEW BY RYAN MARSHALL\n“Only a select few films have a kind of palpable density that the viewer feels right in the gut, and as it turns out Altman has made quite a few of them. Throughout the course of just two hours, man himself is challenged (the tragedy of masculinity suppressing all which stands in its path), and everything – land and life alike – has a dollar value. For instance, when McCabe continually refuses the offers from the mining company’s shady representatives, they send over a trio of bounty hunters to seal the deal. Afraid for his life but unwilling to leave the town and business he helped start, McCabe turns to his lawyer for advice, but is instead treated to a spiel that basically amounts to the company’s safety being favored over McCabe’s. The poor bastard’s response is genuinely haunting: “Well I just, uh…didn’t want to get killed.””\nThis being a year-end piece to one of the most turbulent in the second decade of the new millennium, might as well have a couple of ‘best of lists’ for 2016 from David Edelstein and Vulture:\nThe 10 Best Movies of 2016 — and 6 More\n“5. O.J.: Made in America\nAnd made for television, really, but shown in enough theaters to qualify for encomiums and awards from film critics. It deserves them. Using amazing archival footage and fresh interviews, Ezra Edelman’s 467-minute O.J. Simpson epic pokes and prods, extrapolates and interpolates. We see the fractious world out of which the inhumanly handsome and talented black football star emerged and the impact of that world on his psyche. We see how a man with zero interest in being a symbol for his race became an instrument of black revenge on a police force that had brutalized them for decades.”\nThe Best Film Performances of 2016\n“Mahershala Ali, Moonlight. The entire cast of Moonlight is marvelous, but Ali has broken out. As a conflicted drug dealer — a man who’s such a mixture of opposite traits that he could be called tragic — he’s riveting no matter what he’s doing or not doing.”\nEasily, what had to be one of the most intriguing and diverse roundtable discussions of the year, by Matthew Belloni and Stephen Gallowa for The Hollywood Reporter:\nDirector Roundtable: Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington and 4 More on Paralyzing Fears, Cast and Crew Complaints\n“Not surprisingly, the conversation quickly turned into a spirited debate among peers, touching on their often-paralyzing fears (“I was like, ‘I can’t do this,’ ” recalled Washington of his first directing gig), cast and crew complaints (“They make your life hell sometimes,” quipped Stone), the backlash over The Birth of a Nation director Nate Parker’s rape trial (“I don’t think it’s fair,” said Gibson) and the feeling that making a movie is akin to going to war (“You feel like you’re a general and you have troops,” added Gibson). Toward the end, Nair came full circle with Washington, revealing she had cast a first-time actor in a scene with him all those years ago. Responded Washington with a laugh, “I didn’t know she had not acted!””\nSomebody had to do it, especially around this time of year. Admittedly, when Macca’s Christmas ditty makes an appearance, I’ll listen. It’s an obligatory gesture…Hell, I have this on ‘ye old iPod, in point of fact. So, there must be a reason it’s there, and Annie Zaleski explains why we “…love it or hate it, or love it and hate it” finally, in her Salon music piece.\nIn defense of Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime”\n““Wonderful Christmastime” also came during a time when music was ready for a change. As the ’80s neared, pop and rock artists were grappling with how to navigate and embrace cutting-edge trends: disco, the roiling punk underbelly and the burgeoning new wave scene. Plus, by 1979, McCartney too was itching for a change. Although Wings toured the U.K. in the fall of that year (and even played “Wonderful Christmastime”), the band had nearly run its course. For better or for worse, McCartney was primed to take a leap of faith and dive headfirst into whatever was coming next.”\nIf you’re a fan of John Carpenter and/or Quentin Tarantino, or neither but are a fan of the visual cinematic queues filmmakers put into their work, then this KINO short showcased over at Boing Boing is a must-see:\nThe Hateful Eight’s homage to The Thing: shots compared\n“While it’s not odd that QT, master of the cinematic homage, would be drawing creative and narrative inspiration from elsewhere, it might seem a little odd to some folks that for a western Tarantino would choose to reference a sci-fi monster movie. But look at even the most basic comparisons: both are ensemble pieces (led by Kurt Russell) that take place largely in one room/compound in the middle of polar nowhere; both center on the themes of paranoia and mistrust; and both are violent as all get out. Makes a little more sense now, doesn’t it?”\nAs an opening titles enthusiast, this Cinefix video, with all its references and substantiation regarding this particularly keen cinematic and graphic art form, of their 10 best is not to be missed. I mean it:\nThere’s alway mixed feelings when a project comes to an end. Joy, surely, when it’s accomplished, and perhaps a bit of sadness in putting to bed something that became part of your life. Even if it is a revisit, of sorts. That came to mind when friend (and fellow TCM Classic Film Fest participant) Richard Kirkham closed out his marvelous undertaking of his favorite year in movies, 1984; finishing it most appropriately:\nNineteen Eighty-Four (1984)\n“It takes a large portion of the nearly three hundred pages of the novel, to explain the social strata in the world of Oceania. The idea of “thought-crime” and it’s ultimate solution “Newspeak” are central to the written text but are not the main focus in the film. Visualizing a totalitarian society where the oppressed voluntarily participate in their own subjugation requires a visual aesthetic not a narrative track. The poverty and abandonment of the “proles” or non-party members of the culture are portrayed in exceptionally depressing ways in the film. There is a morbidly disgusting scene where Winston recalls visiting a prostitute in the prole areas of the city. The visualization is nearly enough to make you want to join the Anti-Sex League yourself.”\nIt goes without saying that remain a big fan of Marlene Dietrich. So when Margaret Perry highlighted this magnetic movie star within the backdrop of a Billy Wilder film on her blog, and putting it in historical, cultural, and social context, it had to join the year-end list:\nMarlene Dietrich’s Re-Education of American Female Sensuality\n“The duality of Marlene Dietrich’s star persona in Billy Wilder’s A Foreign Affair (1948), first as a German ex-patriot and secondly as a patriotic American film star, serves to establish three distinctive heterotopias within the film text, enabling American postwar audiences to navigate the complexities of Berlin’s zonal divisions as represented in the film. Within these heterotopias, the Dietrich persona offers layers of discourse related to time, place, and nationalism, which allow her to re-educate Congresswoman Frost (Jean Arthur) on the expectations of womanhood in the new patriarchal order of a world divided by the Cold War.”\nMy lovely spouse of almost three decades can assure you I don’t need another motivation to purchase music. I’m sure if she reads this it’ll only aggravate the situation — so, let’s keep this list by the good folk at The Vinyl Factory to ourselves as we close out the year, shall we?:\nThe 20 best soundtracks of 2016\n“This year’s Oscar season was met by a few soundtrack firsts that were simply too juicy (for the establishment) to resist. Master of the playlist, Quentin Tarantino’s first ever originally commissioned score for The Hateful Eight was delivered by none other than maestro Ennio Morricone, marking his first Western soundtrack after forty-odd years from the frontier. It scooped best score then but now, by December, the competition – from the likes of Jóhann Jóhannsson, Alex Somers, Cliff Martinez, Nils Frahm – is fierce.”\nWill add this final image to the highlight reel for it is fitting and heartfelt:\nCarrie Fisher (1956-2016) actress, author, screenwriter.\nThe entire series can be found here.\nCategories: writing, Year of Bests\nTagged: 1984, Alfred Hitchcock, Arts, blogging, Film, film adaptations, internet, iPod Classic, John Carpenter, John Lennon, journalism, Love Actually, Marlene Dietrich, Marvel, Mel Gibson, Moonlight, movie soundtrack, music, North by Northwest, opening titles sequence, Paul McCartney, Science fiction, song, Star Trek, Television, The Art of the Title, The Beatles, The Hateful Eight, The Thing, vinyl, Western, writing, Year of Bests\nA Song For This Day (and year): Suavecito\nSame Song, Different Movie: Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash\n21 Responses to “On the Verge: Year of Bests – 2016”\nCindy Bruchman December 30, 2016\nFascinating, thoughtful, and in-depth, your choices, their readability, and their perspectives were interesting.

{"text": "I am still here. In the last several months a lot has happened. I have completed my graduate degree, defended my Master’s and moved to another state. On top of all of this, I held part time position focusing on industry analysis and mapping of micro and nanotechnologies, attended conferences and industry networking events, and worked to develop and patent a new MEMS sensor.\nAs a result, I have a lot to write about but until now, have rarely been able to create the time and focus to post these on this blog. Aside from finishing my degree, many of my recent activities have focused on career, technology, and business development. New posts are coming soon. Please stay tuned.\nWhat exactly is nanotechnology, and how does one explain it to others from more traditional backgrounds? I get that question often, especially from students hesitant to reach out to employers on this subject. Earlier I wrote about doing so. This reblogged post contain my advice on how to communicate ones knowledge on anything nano.\nOne question that comes my way often is how can we explain what a “nanotechnology company” is? Secondly, what would they look for in a new hire in terms of education and technical skills?\nTo answer these, first it needs to be recognized that nanotechnology is interdisciplinary. This means that work related to micro and nanotechnologies uses ideas and concepts typically associated with several different fields of science and engineering. For an example, look up BioMEMS. Because nano is indeed interdisciplinary, many companies will hire teams of engineers from various backgrounds (often electrical, chemical, and mechanical) to work on nanotechnology related products.\nIn most cases that I have observed both through analysis and contact with industry, a “microsystems” or “nanotechnology” company will base its operations around a core set of technical competencies to develop their products.\nTo identify these competencies (and the skills a new hire may need), the Southwest Center for Microsystems Education has counted over 2700 companies within the United States alone with work on the micro and nanoscale and is in the process of compiling industry maps for all 50 states. See here for more details. I have been part of this effort.\nThe Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) has just released a poster on its industry mapping project. Through this effort, the SCME’s goal is to gain an idea of the skills need by employers working in the micro and nanotechnologies in recent graduates. Knowledge gained will be used to strengthen technical and post-secondary education programs across the United States.\nAs explained on the poster, the commercial and industrial use of microsystems and nanotechnology is widespread throughout the United States. The data presented provides a snapshot into the micro and nanotechnology enabled industry, displaying where within the US it is clustered and a profile the diverse applications of small technologies. Because the applications are widespread, the industrial sectors impacted by their use are wide ranging, which is partially illustrated in this analysis.\nHowever, these findings do not tell the rate at which the micro and nanotechnology enabled industry is growing nor the size or hiring and employment statistics of companies listed. Future work will examine these. Companies included in this study range from startups with less than 20 employees to large semiconductor foundries employing over 1000. No data was found for Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.\nMore information on the methodology of this work is available here.\nOut of the 1500 companies categorized, 22% produce tools and capital equipment. These companies build and repair the machines and specialty parts used to analyze and manufacture micro and nanostructures.\n18% of companies categorized produce microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and Bio-MEMS. Many biotechnology and medical diagnostics companies that make use of microsensors or gene sequencing technologies are included in this category.\nOver half of the companies categorized focus on the production of devices or instruments, as opposed to materials and components for them.\nOnly 13% of companies specialize in the manufacture of materials traditionally viewed as nanotechnology such as nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and nanostructured materials.\nThis study provides a snapshot of the geography of the micro and nanotechnology enabled industry within the United States and the specialties of companies within it. The density map presented illustrates where nanotechnology may have the largest impact upon regional economies within the US. Categorization of the companies working within micro and nanotechnology provides insight into their specialties and potential skill needs.\nBased on the categorization, it can be concluded that the majority of companies categorized build integrated systems, as opposed to the manufacture of advanced materials. These systems include the tools for the manufacture and characterization of nanotechnology and microelectronic devices incorporating nanotechnology. Recent graduates who aim for technical employment within nanotechnology are well served understanding how to integrate it within a useful device in an economical manner. Knowledge of only the scientific phenomena behind nanotechnology and the microsystems it is incorporated into may be insufficient. Companies focusing exclusively on production of nanomaterials through the use of these scientific principles are only 18% of those categorized.\nWhile many of the companies counted specialized in micro or nano-dimensioned products, many others focus in more established technical industries but are introducing micro and nano products as solutions to technical problems. There is no defined “nanotechnology industry” but instead many established industries turning to micro and nanotechnologies to solve their problems.\nNote: This author presented this work at the COMS Conference in Salt Lake City.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

These luxe cars and a handful of other models will be produced in China, not Sweden, where the company is headquartered. Some say the shift helps it better compete with other automakers in one of the world's top markets.\nThe upgrade provide the Jeeves experience. First off, there’s no front passenger seat. In that seat’s place is a special console that can store shoes, serve as a footrest or give a backseat passenger with long legs space to stretch out.\nThe change (previewed at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2015) helps “meet the chauffeur-driven executive customers’ need to relax or work while on the move,” a Volvo design executive explained in a statement.\nA backseat console includes a small built-in refrigerator. It’s large enough for two bottles of bubbly and comes complete with two handmade crystal glasses (from Orrefors, the esteemed Swedish glassmaker).\nA fold-out worktable can keep mobile moguls productive as can a special display screen that appears at the tap of a finger (and can replace your laptop screen). The display can be used for work or entertainment, with a system that’s compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.\nOf course, the car is semi-autonomous and its safety systems cover cities and rural areas.

{"text": "The patent system is broken and in dire need of reform; so says the popular press, scholars, lawyers, judges, congresspersons, and even the President. One common complaint is that patents are now failing as property rights because their boundaries are not as clear as the fences that demarcate real estate—patent infringement is neither as determinate nor as efficient as trespass is for land. This Essay explains that this is a fallacious argument, suffering both empirical and logical failings. Empirically, there are no formal studies of trespass litigation rates; thus, complaints about the patent system’s indeterminacy are based solely on an idealized theory of how trespass should function, which economists identify as the “nirvana fallacy.” Furthermore, anecdotal evidence and other studies suggest that boundary disputes between landowners are neither as clear nor as determinate as patent scholars assume them to be. Logically, the comparison of patent boundaries to trespass commits what philosophers call a “category mistake.” It conflates the boundaries of an entire legal right (a patent), not with the boundaries of its conceptual counterpart (real estate), but with a single doctrine (trespass) that secures real estate only in a single dimension (physical fences). As all law students learn in their first-year Property courses, estate boundaries are defined along the dimensions of time, use, and space, as represented in doctrines like future interests, easements, nuisance, and restrictive covenants, among others. The proper conceptual analog for patent boundaries is “estate boundaries,” not fences. In sum, the trespass fallacy is driving widely accepted critiques of today’s patent system that are empirically unverified and conceptually misleading.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 338, "token_count_with_eod": 339, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "I used to live in Florida, land of the tourist and the elderly. I worked long hours in a cube farm (aka call center) and it wasn’t easy meeting new people as a transplant from the Midwest. A friend back in STL had met a great guy online, so I gave it a try. The matches I got weren’t promising. But one night in an online chat room I noticed a guy who wasn’t as shallow as most of the other guys.\nI messaged him and we had a brief chat. (He told me later he thought I was a ‘cam girl’ J). I started logging in and looking for him and soon we were chatting every night. He was also from the Midwest, so we had that in common. But he lived in Montana! Regardless, we started talking on the phone because we were having so much fun. Only a few weeks later, he had Spring Break off because he was a teacher. He said he was tired of snow and cold and suggested that he could book a trip to Florida and even if we didn’t hit it off in person, he’d have the beach and a warm vacation. We were both in our 40s and figured we didn’t have time to waste emailing and calling, so I took a chance and said yes.\nI suggested that we meet on neutral ground, so he booked a suite at a boutique hotel in Key Largo. He sent a photo so I’d recognize him at the airport and I got really nervous – he was a big guy and I’m petite. (He’s a full foot taller than me!). I got a few days off from work and we were set. The big day came and I don’t know when I’ve been so nervous. I drove to the airport to get him and then we had a two hour drive to the Keys. We talked about everything! We really enjoyed being together.\nWhen we arrived at the hotel, our room was right on the beach and had a big deck out front for us to sit and enjoy the beautiful sunset. The complimentary breakfast was served out on the beach each morning. We went to Pennekamp National Park and took a ride in the glass bottom boat and saw dolphins! We took another boat ride across the Gulf to the Everglades! Everything was fun with him!\nWe spoke every night after our first date ended, and started planning our second date: a cruise to Jamaica. It was nonstop fun, even in the pouring rain when we got to the Botanical Garden. We were the only ones there (because of the rain). The guide pulled out a big umbrella and we had a private tour!\nFor our third date I went to Montana, and it snowed even though it was almost Summertime! We went to Yellowstone, and hiking, and panning for gold, and visited the headwaters of the Missouri River. And he told me he planned to marry me. I thought it was too soon, but he said he’d wait for me to be ready.\nWe had our dates about every other month, another visit to Key Largo, another cruise, driving up to introduce him to my mom, and then the next summer we got engaged, and he decided to move to Florida because it was so hard to be apart. We set a date for the following June.\nDuring this time of joy and happiness, I had had a medical issue, which turned out to be an aneurysm. I needed surgery and was really happy I wouldn’t have to go through it alone. Once we were both living in Florida, I scheduled the surgery. But I had heard horror stories of unmarried partners not being allowed to visit in the hospital because they weren’t family. I learned about the Domestic Partnership that was offered by Broward County and called to see if it was only for gay couples. It wasn’t. So we had a private beach ceremony with my friend who’s a Notary, and became domesticated. With a card to show for it!\n(We discussed just getting married ahead of schedule, but we didn’t want to deprive our family and friends of the chance to share our joy and celebrate all together).\nI had the surgery, took the full FMLA time to recover, and we celebrated our second Christmas together. After the holidays we went into full wedding planning mode. We debated which state to have it – Florida? Montana? Missouri? Or Illinois where he’s from? I got my dress (NWT from a thrift store!) and lavender clearance sale dresses for my two bridesmaids. We decided to print our own invitations and get the flowers from Walmart, though we booked a professional caterer and photographer.\nAnd then it happened. He had a heart attack and died. I was a widow – without getting to be a bride. But I have an official Domestic Partnership card from Broward County, Florida. And wonderful memories.\nThis piece was written for the Gateway Men’s Chorus (@gmcstl) Dear Future Husband contest last February.\nLast night I enjoyed their season finale, which included a moving memorial for the Orlando 49. GMC had 54 members performing last night. As the Director spoke about the terrible event last weekend, each member, one by one, counted off and then sat down – through 49. Five were left standing. It was chilling.\nSadly, my friend the Notary died last month after a long illness. His birthday was this past week. He and his partner never had the chance to get married. The legislation was too late for two old guys who’d been together fordecades.\nThis post is dedicated to RonJohn and the Orlando 49.

{"text": "Advent Promise – The Promise of Love, Kindness, Peace, Completeness and Compassion.\nThis remarkable verse is the promise of the reign of the coming King. The establishment of a Kingdom Covenant that would surpass creation and time.\nIt is an unconditional covenant, a covenant founded and kept by the finished work of Christ. A covenant birthed by the desire and passion of God. A covenant created before the foundations of the world and ignited by the Cross.\nFor in Jesus Christ is the fullness of God and all God’s love, kindness, peace, completeness and compassion is in Christ.\nThe promise of the King is now the Kingdom alive inside you. For all God is and all Christ is, is contained in the Kingdom Covenant alive in you.\nThe unconditional declaration of Christ over you is that He is the eternal promise of God, given to release you into the fullness of God. God’s gift, freely given and all you do is receive him and live in its fullness.\nThe promise of God here is magnified in His commitment to deliver his people from their captivity, the promise of a kinsman to free us from the shadow of death and transfer us into the fullness of the Kingdom.\nThe slavery of the consequences of sin are so deeply embedded in our world that we cannot escape its invading influence in our thinking and emotions. It slowly seeps away our trust and delight in pleasing our Father, but Christ is our redeemer.\nJesus Christ purchased for us an eternal redemption. His blood poured out for us cleanses our conscience from all condemnation, all guilt, all shame and all feelings of separation.\nRedemption means deliverance form all captivity and entry into the unfading glory of God.\nJesus Christ entered the world to bring you into the glory presence of God, to release you from the prison of guilt and fee you from the dudgeon of condemnation.\nThe baby born in a manger, to a teenage girl was the promised redeemer, the sacrifice given for you to deliver you from all your captivity.\nAdvent Thought – The Promise of a Coming King.\nThe promise of God declared by the prophet Isaiah is the assurance that God will visit his people with a witness to declare to all the heart of God. Therefore, if you wanted to know what God is like all you need to do is look at Jesus Christ.\nJesus’ life was a living testament to the glory of God.\nThe intention and commitment of God to his children was the coming of a saviour, a prince and commander who would guide, care and with kindness and love restore his children back into their father’s arms.\nHis children were always the desire of His heart, and Jesus Christ was the God’s witness to the plans and purposes of God. In all Jesus did he did with the power and commitment of His Father.\nThe fulfillment of God’s intention took place at the cross, it was at Calvary where mankind was reconciled back to God, the Cross was the starting point of history and the centre point of all God’s plans.\nThe promise of the coming witness is the eternal oath to reconcile man back to God, to make a way in the wilderness and to path a way into the Promised Land.\nTake every opportunity to embrace the unconditional love and unmerited favour given to you in Christ Jesus. Today rest in the fact that you are loved, that you are blessed with every spiritual blessing and that God approves of you because Christ is alive in you and you are united with him. Let the love of God be your light in the dark pathway of life .\nThis is one of the most amazing passages of in the Bible, the declaration of God that his abundant life is a free gift. Here is the heart of the New Covenant that the charge God makes for his divine riches is without price. And it is without price because Christ has purchased it all with his life.\nThis is extravagant grace, outrageous favour where the only thing God demands is our acceptance. That we lay down our self effort, our performance mentality, and our self righteousness and receive the divine inheritance.\nIsaiah shouts out to us from centuries past to listen. It is in the listening that we connect with the heart and purposes of God. Jesus said it in another way to his disciples, “For him that has ears to hear, let him hear!” To receive of Christ it is essential to open our hearts and listen to the truth of his grace, for in the listening comes the understanding to receive.\nWe don’t need money to receive all the blessings of God, we need an open and listening heart that delights in the love of our Father.\nCome, buy and eat, it is all available to you, you don’t need money, just accept and receive it.\nThe promise of Christ is the promise of God’s free gift, the invitation of abundant grace to all.\nThe truth of the Good News is that Christ has delivered us from the captivity and oppression of a life without love.\nThe truth of God revealed in Jesus was that he came as the full expression of God. That God entered our world to experience the full range of our emotions, and to show us what it was to live with the tenderness of an open heart .\nThe truth revealed in Jesus was the bridge that closed the gap between the imperfection of our humanness and the perfection of God.\nFor God never rejected us, God never gave up on us, God was never separated from us and God never stopped pouring his love out on us.\nIt was mankind that believed the lie of shame and doubted the goodness of God. It was mankind that separated from God and chose their own idols.\nJesus came and revealed God’s truth. Jesus died as a sacrifice in the truth.

The advantage of\nthis is that in a usual Python session an exception will be raised\nearlier rather than later, with a message indicating the expected type.\nWhen Python is run with the ``-O`` or ``-OO`` flags, assertions are\nremoved and the code executes faster.\n\n--------------\nVector classes\n--------------\n\nTwo mutable vector types are available: **Vector2** and **Vector3**,\nfor 2D and 3D vectors, respectively. Vectors are assumed to hold\nfloats, but most operations will also work if you use ints or longs\ninstead. Construct a vector in the obvious way::\n\n >>> Vector2(1.5, 2.0)\n Vector2(1.50, 2.00)\n\n >>> Vector3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)\n Vector3(1.00, 2.00, 3.00)\n\nElement access\n--------------\n\nComponents may be accessed as attributes (examples that follow use\n**Vector3**, but all results are similar for **Vector2**, using only the *x*\nand *y* components)::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> v.x\n 1\n >>> v.y\n 2\n >>> v.z\n 3\n\nVectors support the list interface via slicing::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> len(v)\n 3\n >>> v[0]\n 1\n >>> v[:]\n (1, 2, 3)\n\nYou can also \"swizzle\" the components (*a la* GLSL or Cg)::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> v.xyz\n (1, 2, 3)\n >>> v.zx\n (3, 1)\n\nbut no component duplicates are allowed, by example v.xxz will traceback.\n\nAll of the above accessors except the swizzles ones are also mutators::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> v.x = 5\n >>> v\n Vector3(5.00, 2.00, 3.00)\n >>> v[1:] = (10, 20)\n >>> v\n Vector3(5.00, 10.00, 20.00)\n\nAssignment via a swizzle (e.g., ``v.xyz = (1, 2, 3)``) is not supported\nas it impacts on the performance of ordinary attribute\nsetting, and is slower than setting components sequentially anyway.\n\nOperators\n---------\n\nAddition and subtraction are supported via operator overloading (note \nthat in-place operators perform faster than those that create a new object)::\n\n >>> v1 = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> v2 = Vector3(4, 5, 6)\n >>> v1 + v2\n Vector3(5.00, 7.00, 9.00)\n >>> v1 -= v2\n >>> v1\n Vector3(-3.00, -3.00, -3.00)\n\nMultiplication and division can be performed with a scalar only::\n\n >>> Vector3(1, 2, 3) * 2\n Vector3(2.00, 4.00, 6.00)\n >>> v1 = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v1 /= 2\n >>> v1\n Vector3(0.50, 1.00, 1.50)\n\nThe magnitude of a vector can be found with ``abs``::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> abs(v)\n 3.7416573867739413\n\nA vector can be normalized in-place (note that the in-place method also\nreturns ``self``, so you can chain it with further operators)::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v.normalize()\n Vector3(0.27, 0.53, 0.80)\n >>> v\n Vector3(0.27, 0.53, 0.80)\n\nThe following methods do *not* alter the original vector or their arguments:\n\n``copy()``\n Returns a copy of the vector. ``__copy__`` is also implemented.\n\n``magnitude()``\n Returns the magnitude of the vector; equivalent to ``abs(v)``. Example::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v.magnitude()\n 3.7416573867739413\n\n``magnitude_squared()``\n Returns the sum of the squares of each component. Useful for comparing\n the length of two vectors without the expensive square root operation.\n Example::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v.magnitude_squared()\n 14.0\n\n``normalized()``\n Return a unit length vector in the same direction. Note that this\n method differs from ``normalize`` in that it does not modify the\n vector in-place. Example::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v.normalized()\n Vector3(0.27, 0.53, 0.80)\n >>> v\n Vector3(1.00, 2.00, 3.00)\n\n``dot(other)``\n Return the scalar \"dot\" product of two vectors. Example::\n\n >>> v1 = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v2 = Vector3(4., 5., 6.)\n >>> v1.dot(v2)\n 32.0\n\n``determinant(other)``\n Return the scalar \"determinant\" of two 2D vectors. Example:\n\n >>> v1 = Vector2(1., 2.)\n >>> v2 = Vector2(3., 4.)\n >>> v1.determinant(v2)\n -2.0\n\n``cross()`` and ``cross(other)``\n Return the cross product of a vector (for **Vector2**), or the cross\n product of two vectors (for **Vector3**). The return type is a\n vector. Example::\n\n >>> v1 = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v2 = Vector3(4., 5., 6.)\n >>> v1.cross(v2)\n Vector3(-3.00, 6.00, -3.00)\n\n In two dimensions there can be no argument to ``cross``::\n\n >>> v1 = Vector2(1., 2.)\n >>> v1.cross()\n Vector2(2.00, -1.00)\n\n``reflect(normal)``\n Return the vector reflected about the given normal. In two dimensions,\n *normal* is the normal to a line, in three dimensions it is the normal\n to a plane. The normal must have unit length. Example::\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> v.reflect(Vector3(0, 1, 0))\n Vector3(1.00, -2.00, 3.00)\n >>> v = Vector2(1., 2.)\n >>> v.reflect(Vector2(1, 0))\n Vector2(-1.00, 2.00)\n\n``rotate(theta)``\n For 2D vectors, return the vector rotated around origin by the angle theta.\n Example:\n\n >>> v = Vector2(1., 2.)\n >>> v.rotate(math.pi/2)\n Vector2(-2.00, 1.00)\n\n``rotate_around(axes, theta)``\n For 3D vectors, return the vector rotated around axis by the angle theta.\n\n >>> v = Vector3(1., 2., 3.)\n >>> axes = Vector3(1.,1.,0)\n >>> v.rotate_around(axes,math.pi/4)\n Vector3(2.65, 0.35, 2.62)\n\n``angle(other)``\n Return the canonical angle between two vectors, ``angle(u, v) = u dot v / (|u|*|v|)``\n Is the angle between the lines generated by self and other.\n Range is [0, pi]\n v.angle(w) == w.angle(v)\n Example:\n\n >>> v1 = Vector2(1., 1.)\n >>> v1.angle(Vector2(1., 0.))\n 0.7853981633974483\n >>> v1.angle(Vector2(-1., 0.))\n 2.356194490192345\n\n``angle_oriented(other)``\n signed angle from self to other\n The angle to rotate self so that it points in the same direction as other\n Range is [-pi, pi]\n v.angle(w) == - w.angle(v) Example:\n Example:\n \n >>> v1 = Vector2(1., 1.)\n >>> v1.angle_oriented(Vector2(1., 0.))\n -0.7853981633974483\n >>> v1.angle_oriented(Vector2(-1., 0.))\n 2.356194490192345\n\n\n``project(other)``\n Return the projection (the component) of the vector on other.\n\nTests for equality include comparing against other sequences::\n\n >>> v2 = Vector2(1, 2)\n >>> v2 == Vector2(3, 4)\n False\n >>> v2 != Vector2(1, 2)\n False\n >>> v2 == (1, 2)\n True\n\n >>> v3 = Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n >>> v3 == Vector3(3, 4, 5)\n False\n >>> v3 != Vector3(1, 2, 3)\n False\n >>> v3 == (1, 2, 3)\n True\n\nVectors are not hashable, and hence cannot be put in sets nor used as\ndictionary keys::\n\n >>> {Vector2(): 0}\n Traceback (most recent call last):\n ...\n TypeError: unhashable type: 'Vector2'\n\n >>> {Vector3(): 0}\n Traceback (most recent call last):\n ...\n TypeError: unhashable type: 'Vector3'\n\n\n--------------\nMatrix classes\n--------------\n\nTwo matrix classes are supplied, **Matrix3**, a 3x3 matrix for working with 2D\naffine transformations, and **Matrix4**, a 4x4 matrix for working with 3D\naffine transformations.\n\nThe default constructor intializes the matrix to the identity::\n\n >>> Matrix3()\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n >>> Matrix4()\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nElement access\n--------------\n\nInternally each matrix is stored as a set of attributes named ``a`` to ``p``.\nThe layout for Matrix3 is::\n\n # a b c \n # e f g \n # i j k \n\nand for Matrix4::\n\n # a b c d\n # e f g h\n # i j k l\n # m n o p\n\nIf you wish to set or retrieve a number of elements at once, you can\ndo so with a slice::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4()\n >>> m[:]\n [1.0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0]\n >>> m[12:15] = (5, 5, 5)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00 5.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nNote that slices operate in column-major order, which makes them\nsuitable for working directly with OpenGL's ``glLoadMatrix`` and\n``glGetFloatv`` functions.\n\nClass constructors\n------------------\n\nThere are class constructors for the most common types of transform.\n\n``new_identity``\n Equivalent to the default constructor. Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_identity()\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n``new_scale(x, y)`` and ``new_scale(x, y, z)``\n The former is defined on **Matrix3**, the latter on **Matrix4**.\n Equivalent to the OpenGL call ``glScalef``.\n Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_scale(2.0, 3.0, 4.0)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 2.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 3.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 4.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n \n``new_translate(x, y)`` and ``new_translate(x, y, z)``\n The former is defined on **Matrix3**, the latter on **Matrix4**.\n Equivalent to the OpenGL call ``glTranslatef``.\n Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_translate(3.0, 4.0, 5.0)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 3.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 4.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00 5.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n``new_rotate(angle)``\n Create a **Matrix3** for a rotation around the origin. *angle* is\n specified in radians, anti-clockwise. This is not implemented in\n **Matrix4** (see below for equivalent methods).\n Example::\n\n >>> import math\n >>> m = Matrix3.new_rotate(math.pi / 2)\n >>> m\n Matrix3([ 0.00 -1.00 0.00\n 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nThe following constructors are defined for **Matrix4** only.\n\n``new``\n Construct a matrix with 16 values in column-major order.\n\n``new_rotatex(angle)``, ``new_rotatey(angle)``, ``new_rotatez(angle)``\n Create a **Matrix4** for a rotation around the X, Y or Z axis, respectively.\n *angle* is specified in radians. Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_rotatex(math.pi / 2)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 -1.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n``new_rotate_axis(angle, axis)``\n Create a **Matrix4** for a rotation around the given axis. *angle*\n is specified in radians, and *axis* must be an instance of **Vector3**.\n It is not necessary to normalize the axis. Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0))\n >>> m \n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 -1.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n``new_rotate_euler(heading, attitude, bank)``\n Create a **Matrix4** for the given Euler rotation. *heading* is a rotation\n around the Y axis, *attitude* around the X axis and *bank* around the Z\n axis. All rotations are performed simultaneously, so this method avoids\n \"gimbal lock\" and is the usual method for implemented 3D rotations in a\n game. Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_rotate_euler(math.pi / 2, math.pi / 2, 0.0)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 0.00 -0.00 1.00 0.00\n 1.00 0.00 -0.00 0.00\n -0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n``new_perspective(fov_y, aspect, near, far)``\n Create a **Matrix4** for projection onto the 2D viewing plane. This\n method is equivalent to the OpenGL call ``gluPerspective``. *fov_y* is\n the view angle in the Y direction, in radians. *aspect* is the aspect\n ration *width* / *height* of the viewing plane. *near* and *far* are\n the distance to the near and far clipping planes. They must be\n positive and non-zero. Example::\n\n >>> m = Matrix4.new_perspective(math.pi / 2, 1024.0 / 768, 1.0, 100.0)\n >>> m\n Matrix4([ 0.75 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 -1.02 -2.02\n 0.00 0.00 -1.00 0.00])\n\nOperators\n---------\n\nMatrices of the same dimension may be multiplied to give a new matrix.\nFor example, to create a transform which translates and scales::\n\n >>> m1 = Matrix3.new_translate(5.0, 6.0)\n >>> m2 = Matrix3.new_scale(1.0, 2.0)\n >>> m1 * m2\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 2.00 6.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nNote that multiplication is not commutative (the order that you apply\ntransforms matters)::\n\n >>> m2 * m1\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 2.00 12.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nIn-place multiplication is also permitted (and optimised)::\n\n >>> m1 *= m2\n >>> m1\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 2.00 6.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nMultiplying a matrix by a vector returns a vector, and is used to\ntransform a vector::\n\n >>> m1 = Matrix3.new_rotate(math.pi / 2)\n >>> m1 * Vector2(1.0, 1.0)\n Vector2(-1.00, 1.00)\n\nNote that translations have no effect on vectors. They do affect\npoints, however::\n\n >>> m1 = Matrix3.new_translate(5.0, 6.0)\n >>> m1 * Vector2(1.0, 2.0)\n Vector2(1.00, 2.00)\n >>> m1 * Point2(1.0, 2.0)\n Point2(6.00, 8.00)\n\nMultiplication is currently incorrect between matrices and vectors -- the\nprojection component is ignored. Use the **Matrix4.transform** method\ninstead.\n\nMatrix4 also defines **transpose** (in-place), **transposed** (functional),\n**determinant** and **inverse** (functional) methods.\n\nA **Matrix3** can be multiplied with a **Vector2** or any of the 2D geometry\nobjects (**Point2**, **Line2**, **Circle**, etc). \n\nA **Matrix4** can be multiplied with a **Vector3** or any of the 3D geometry\nobjects (**Point3**, **Line3**, **Sphere**, etc).\n\nFor convenience, each of the matrix constructors are also available as\nin-place operators. For example, instead of writing::\n\n >>> m1 = Matrix3.new_translate(5.0, 6.0)\n >>> m2 = Matrix3.new_scale(1.0, 2.0)\n >>> m1 *= m2\n\nyou can apply the scale directly to *m1*::\n\n >>> m1 = Matrix3.new_translate(5.0, 6.0)\n >>> m1.scale(1.0, 2.0)\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 2.00 6.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n >>> m1\n Matrix3([ 1.00 0.00 5.00\n 0.00 2.00 6.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nNote that these methods operate in-place (they modify the original matrix),\nand they also return themselves as a result. This allows you to chain\ntransforms together directly::\n\n >>> Matrix3().translate(1.0, 2.0).rotate(math.pi / 2).scale(4.0, 4.0)\n Matrix3([ 0.00 -4.00 1.00\n 4.00 0.00 2.00\n 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\nAll constructors have an equivalent in-place method. For **Matrix3**, they\nare ``identity``, ``translate``, ``scale`` and ``rotate``. For **Matrix4**,\nthey are ``identity``, ``translate``, ``scale``, ``rotatex``, ``rotatey``, \n``rotatez``, ``rotate_axis`` and ``rotate_euler``. Both **Matrix3** and\n**Matrix4** also have an in-place ``transpose`` method.\n\nThe ``copy`` method is also implemented in both matrix classes and\nbehaves in the obvious way.\n\n-----------\nQuaternions\n-----------\n\nA quaternion represents a three-dimensional rotation or reflection\ntransformation. They are the preferred way to store and manipulate\nrotations in 3D applications, as they do not suffer the same numerical\ndegredation that matrices do.\n\nThe quaternion constructor initializes to the identity transform::\n\n >>> q = Quaternion()\n >>> q\n Quaternion(real=1.00, imag=<0.00, 0.00, 0.00>)\n\nElement access\n--------------\n\nInternally, the quaternion is stored as four attributes: ``x``, ``y`` and\n``z`` forming the imaginary vector, and ``w`` the real component.\n\nConstructors\n------------\n\nRotations can be formed using the constructors:\n\n``new_identity()``\n Equivalent to the default constructor.\n\n``new_rotate_axis(angle, axis)``\n Equivalent to the Matrix4 constructor of the same name. *angle* is\n specified in radians, *axis* is an instance of **Vector3**. It is\n not necessary to normalize the axis. Example::\n\n >>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q\n Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)\n\n``new_rotate_euler(heading, attitude, bank)``\n Equivalent to the Matrix4 constructor of the same name. *heading*\n is a rotation around the Y axis, *attitude* around the X axis and\n *bank* around the Z axis. All angles are given in radians. Example::\n\n >>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_euler(math.pi / 2, math.pi / 2, 0)\n >>> q\n Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)\n\n``new_interpolate(q1, q2, t)``\n Create a quaternion which gives a (SLERP) interpolated rotation\n between *q1* and *q2*. *q1* and *q2* are instances of **Quaternion**,\n and *t* is a value between 0.0 and 1.0. For example::\n\n >>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q2 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))\n >>> for i in range(11):\n ... print(Quaternion.new_interpolate(q1, q2, i / 10.0))\n ...\n Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.75, imag=<0.66, 0.09, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.78, imag=<0.61, 0.17, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.80, imag=<0.55, 0.25, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.81, imag=<0.48, 0.33, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.82, imag=<0.41, 0.41, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.81, imag=<0.33, 0.48, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.80, imag=<0.25, 0.55, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.78, imag=<0.17, 0.61, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.75, imag=<0.09, 0.66, 0.00>)\n Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.00, 0.71, 0.00>)\n\n\nOperators\n---------\n\nQuaternions may be multiplied to compound rotations. For example, to\nrotate 90 degrees around the X axis and then 90 degrees around the Y axis::\n\n >>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q2 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))\n >>> q1 * q2\n Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)\n\nMultiplying a quaternion by a vector gives a vector, transformed\nappropriately::\n\n >>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))\n >>> q * Vector3(1.0, 0, 0)\n Vector3(0.00, 0.00, -1.00)\n\nSimilarly, any 3D object can be multiplied (e.g., **Point3**, **Line3**,\n**Sphere**, etc)::\n\n >>> q * Ray3(Point3(1., 1., 1.), Vector3(1., 1., 1.))\n Ray3(<1.00, 1.00, -1.00> + u<1.00, 1.00, -1.00>)\n\nAs with the matrix classes, the constructors are also available as in-place\noperators. These are named ``identity``, ``rotate_euler`` and\n``rotate_axis``. For example::\n\n >>> q1 = Quaternion()\n >>> q1.rotate_euler(math.pi / 2, math.pi / 2, 0)\n Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)\n >>> q1\n Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)\n\nQuaternions are usually unit length, but you may wish to use sized\nquaternions. In this case, you can find the magnitude using ``abs``,\n``magnitude`` and ``magnitude_squared``, as with the vector classes.\nExample::\n\n >>> q1 = Quaternion()\n >>> abs(q1)\n 1.0\n >>> q1.magnitude()\n 1.0\n\nSimilarly, the class implements ``normalize`` and ``normalized`` in the\nsame way as the vectors.\n\nThe following methods do not alter the quaternion:\n\n``conjugated()``\n Returns a quaternion that is the conjugate of the instance. For\n example::\n \n >>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q1.conjugated()\n Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<-0.71, -0.00, -0.00>)\n >>> q1\n Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)\n\n``get_angle_axis()``\n Returns a tuple (angle, axis), giving the angle to rotate around an\n axis equivalent to the quaternion. For example::\n\n >>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q1.get_angle_axis()\n (1.5707963267948966, Vector3(1.00, 0.00, 0.00))\n\n``get_matrix()``\n Returns a **Matrix4** implementing the transformation of the quaternion.\n For example::\n \n >>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))\n >>> q1.get_matrix()\n Matrix4([ 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 -1.00 0.00\n 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00\n 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00])\n\n-----------\n2D Geometry\n-----------\n\nThe following classes are available for dealing with simple 2D geometry.\nThe interface to each shape is similar; in particular, the ``connect``\nand ``distance`` methods are defined identically for each.\n\nFor example, to find the closest point on a line to a circle::\n\n >>> circ = Circle(Point2(3., 2.), 2.)\n >>> line = Line2(Point2(0., 0.), Point2(-1., 1.))\n >>> line.connect(circ).p1\n Point2(0.50, -0.50)\n\nTo find the corresponding closest point on the circle to the line::\n\n >>> line.connect(circ).p2\n Point2(1.59, 0.59)\n\n\nPoint2\n------\n\nA point on a 2D plane. Construct in the obvious way::\n\n >>> p = Point2(1.0, 2.0)\n >>> p\n Point2(1.00, 2.00)\n\n**Point2** subclasses **Vector2**, so all of **Vector2** operators and\nmethods apply. In particular, subtracting two points gives a vector::\n\n >>> Point2(2.0, 3.0) - Point2(1.0, 0.0)\n Vector2(1.00, 3.00)\n\nThe following methods are also defined:\n\n``connect(other)``\n Returns a **LineSegment2** which is the minimum length line segment\n that can connect the two shapes. *other* may be a **Point2**, **Line2**,\n **Ray2**, **LineSegment2** or **Circle**.\n\n``distance(other)``\n Returns the absolute minimum distance to *other*. Internally this\n simply returns the length of the result of ``connect``. \n\nLine2, Ray2, LineSegment2\n-------------------------\n\nA **Line2** is a line on a 2D plane extending to infinity in both directions;\na **Ray2** has a finite end-point and extends to infinity in a single\ndirection; a **LineSegment2** joins two points. \n\nAll three classes support the same constructors, operators and methods,\nbut may behave differently when calculating intersections etc.\n\nYou may construct a line, ray or line segment using any of:\n\n* another line, ray or line segment\n* two points\n* a point and a vector\n* a point, a vector and a length\n\nFor example::\n\n >>> Line2(Point2(1.0, 1.0), Point2(2.0, 3.0))\n Line2(<1.00, 1.00> + u<1.00, 2.00>)\n >>> Line2(Point2(1.0, 1.0), Vector2(1.0, 2.0))\n Line2(<1.00, 1.00> + u<1.00, 2.00>)\n >>> Ray2(Point2(1.0, 1.0), Vector2(1.0, 2.0), 1.0)\n Ray2(<1.00, 1.00> + u<0.45, 0.89>)\n\nInternally, lines, rays and line segments store a Point2 *p* and a\nVector2 *v*. You can also access (but not set) the two endpoints\n*p1* and *p2*. These may or may not be meaningful for all types of lines.\n\nThe following methods are supported by all three classes:\n\n``intersect(other)``\n If *other* is a **Line2**, **Ray2** or **LineSegment2**, returns\n a **Point2** of intersection, or None if the lines are parallel.\n\n If *other* is a **Circle**, returns a **LineSegment2** or **Point2** giving\n the part of the line that intersects the circle, or None if there\n is no intersection.\n\n >>> c = Circle(Point2(0.0, 0.0), 1.0)\n >>> s = LineSegment2(Point2(-4.0, 0.0), Point2(-3.0, 0.0))\n >>> s.intersect(c) is None\n True\n >>> s = LineSegment2(Point2(0.5, 0.0), Point2(2.0, 0.0))\n >>> s.intersect(c)\n LineSegment2(<1.00, 0.00> to <0.50, 0.00>)\n\n >>> c = Circle(Point2(4,5), 1.0)\n >>> r = Ray2(Point2(13.0, 5.0), Vector2(1.0, 0.0))\n >>> r.intersect(c)\n\n\n``connect(other)``\n Returns a **LineSegment2** which is the minimum length line segment\n that can connect the two shapes. For two parallel lines, this\n line segment may be in an arbitrary position. *other* may be\n a **Point2**, **Line2**, **Ray2**, **LineSegment2** or **Circle**.\n\n``distance(other)``\n Returns the absolute minimum distance to *other*. Internally this\n simply returns the length of the result of ``connect``.\n\n**LineSegment2** also has a *length* property which is read-only.\n\nCircle\n------\n\nCircles are constructed with a center **Point2** and a radius::\n\n >>> c = Circle(Point2(1.0, 1.0), 0.5)\n >>> c\n Circle(<1.00, 1.00>, radius=0.50)\n\nInternally there are two attributes: *c*, giving the center point and\n*r*, giving the radius.\n\nThe following methods are supported:\n\n``intersect(other)``\n If *other* is a **Line2**, **Ray2** or **LineSegment2**, returns\n a **LineSegment2** giving the part of the line that intersects the\n circle, or None if there is no intersection.\n\n``connect(other)``\n Returns a **LineSegment2** which is the minimum length line segment\n that can connect the two shapes. *other* may be a **Point2**, **Line2**,\n **Ray2**, **LineSegment2** or **Circle**.\n\n``distance(other)``\n Returns the absolute minimum distance to *other*. Internally this\n simply returns the length of the result of ``connect``. \n\n-----------\n3D Geometry\n-----------\n\nThe following classes are available for dealing with simple 3D geometry.\nThe interfaces are very similar to the 2D classes (but note that you\ncannot mix and match 2D and 3D operations).\n\nFor example, to find the closest point on a line to a sphere::\n\n >>> sphere = Sphere(Point3(1., 2., 3.,), 2.)\n >>> line = Line3(Point3(0., 0., 0.), Point3(-1., -1., 0.))\n >>> line.connect(sphere).p1\n Point3(1.50, 1.50, 0.00)\n\nTo find the corresponding closest point on the sphere to the line::\n\n >>> line.connect(sphere).p2\n Point3(1.32, 1.68, 1.05)\n\nXXX I have not checked if these are correct.\n\nPoint3\n------\n\nA point on a 3D plane. Construct in the obvious way::\n\n >>> p = Point3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)\n >>> p\n Point3(1.00, 2.00, 3.00)\n\n**Point3** subclasses **Vector3**, so all of **Vector3** operators and\nmethods apply. In particular, subtracting two points gives a vector::\n\n >>> Point3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0) - Point3(1.0, 0.0, -2.0)\n Vector3(0.00, 2.00, 5.00)\n\nThe following methods are also defined:\n\n``intersect(other)``\n If *other* is a **Sphere**, returns ``True`` iff the point lies within\n the sphere.\n\n``connect(other)``\n Returns a **LineSegment3** which is the minimum length line segment\n that can connect the two shapes. *other* may be a **Point3**, **Line3**,\n **Ray3**, **LineSegment3**, **Sphere** or **Plane**.\n\n``distance(other)``\n Returns the absolute minimum distance to *other*.

{"text": "Are you a business owner looking for new ideas to improve employee morale, boost creativity and productivity? Do you wonder if adding features like tennis courts and jacuzzi tubs will help?\n\nWhen it comes to improving the productivity of employees there is no answer in general.Great leadership plays the most important role!Managers need to find ways to motivate their employees with what they do and say – furniture and decor is just one part of it.\n\nAfter bringing in the element of ‘fun’ like ping pong tables into an office space management will find out quickly that nobody is using them. Ping Pong tables will turn out to be more of a monument to what the business is trying to portrait.It is a fact that by encouraging pool tournaments it is not going to help any business achieving increases in revenue.\n\nMany companies have asked me if re-designing an office in a way that it is more un-conventional will improve results. Managers now believe that productivity will be increased when adding entertainment zones. Wrong! Clearly by just taking this approach, the philosophy again is introduced that ‘one office idea fits all’.\n\nFor instance, just recently we designed a sales department in Dallas, Texas according to the principles of Feng Shui for offices. After we did the complete Feng Shui Consultation based on the Sitting and the Facing of the space we learned which Feng Shui colors and materials to introduce, and even more important what we need to avoid, to create an environment conducive to success.We stayed in close contact with each individual top producer of the company based on this range of energy enhancing aspects.Management personally involved each one of the Top Ten Sales People which created a high level of excitement which is rarely experienced. Learning from these top producers how they felt about their soon to be created work space taught us that the ‘one fits all approach’ is not the way to go. If you want to create a productive environment, it is far more important to involve each individual employee asking for input and ideas – creating a sense of ‘ownership’ for results.When consulting with a Feng Shui Professional you are not just hiring an interior designer to turn an office space into a game park – yet interior design layouts based on Feng Shui definetely works!\n\nThe spaces we created were so individual in out-come based on Feng Shui and the individual employee an outcome you will never achieve by just adding ping pong tables in order to appear “hip”.\n\nFeng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging interiors, is an effective way to direct energy and used in combination with quartz crystal singing bowls, will help you attract positive energy and good fortune into your life. The five elements of feng shui are a key factor in properly arranging your space to achieve the best results, and quartz singing crystal bowls can be used effectively with this method.\n\nThe Five Elements\n\nProper balance and placement of the five elements of feng shui (wood, fire, metal, earth, and water) is crucial to the proper flow of positive chi in your space. Quartz crystal singing bowls contain three of these elements – metal, earth and water, and they can be placed in several strategic places to enhance specific qualities.\n\nThe metal element is associated with both wealth and protection, and can be used to attract more money as well as guarding your space from negative influences. Place a bowl in the West, Northwest and North areas of your space to enhance these energies.\nWater is another one of the major elements and governs our life-force, well-being, serenity, and our abilities to release and let go. It also has a direct influence on the flow of money. Place a bowl in the North, East and Southeast areas if you want to emphasize its water effects.\nThe Earth element represents stability, security and permanence, and with its nurturing qualities, it also supports deep, lasting relationships. Place\na crystal bowl in the Southwest, Northeast, West, Northwest and Center of your space for best enhancement of earth energies.\nOther Beneficial Effects\n\nWith the quality of being tuned to specific notes, the tones themselves of crystal singing bowls can be used in creative ways to enhance your chi. For example, place a bowl tuned to the note of F (for the heart chakra) in the relationship area of your space to promote positive, loving interactions with other people. The material of crystal itself is also healing on its own, as crystal has strong clearing properties as well as positive energy. The light, color, and beauty of a crystal singing bowl will lift the energy of any area no matter where it is placed. Quartz crystal singing bowls are an effective tool for energy balancing, and users in combination with feng shui, will be sure to have a powerful effect on your life.\n\nFeng shui water fountains has a unique ability for bringing a sense of harmony and tranquility into a room. For this reason, many corporate offices have started using these water fountains. These fountains actually have the ability to lower the noise decibels in a room, making it sound quieter than it really is.\n\nThis allows for one to feel peaceful an calm. This is a great way to keep down the stress and tension that can build on many corporate offices. There are different types of these feng shui water fountains that you can choose from to place in your office.\n\nMany offices become loud and raise your stress level through the roof. When this happens, it is often times hard to find a way to relieve this stress and keep our bodies healthy. With the use of the feng shui water fountains, it is now possible to keep the noise in your corporate office down and reduce the stress level for every one around.\n\nNot only can these fountains be used to reduce stress among you and your employees, but it will also give your clients a sense of harmony and tranquility as they walk into your office area. Now there are two main types of these water fountains for you to choose from. Two of the most popular types of these fountains are the table tops and wall mounted water fountains.\n\nIf you have a large office, you may want to incorporate more than one fountain throughout the area. To allow for total and complete control over the noise decibels and stress control. In choosing the right water fountain to display in your office to gain these effects is something that can be done alone, however, many people often opt to get outside assistance in choosing the right fountain to provide you with the desired abilities.\n\nThere are many reasons why you should use a feng shui water fountain in your office. Noise and stress level are just a couple that can be benefited from using them. These fountains can also be a good way to allow us to concentrate on our work. Without stress or noise we can focus on what we are doing.\n\nThere are many different types of offices and businesses that use these water fountains to control the noise level and have great success with their business. If your office suffers from high stress levels and noise volume, then you should look into these fountains as a means of getting it under control.\n\nThere are a host of options at your disposal. Double-sink vanities, custom storage hutches and wall-mounted cabinets all merging form and function. All you need to do is determine your style statementcontemporary, traditional, vintage, Asian inspired or Old World.\n\nAs for your design style, lets say its Asian inspired. You wouldnt be alone with interest in that motif. The American bath culture has indeed changed. Stressed homeowners seek refuge and solace and thats why so many of us are creating environments in our homes conducive to the Eastern concept of centering. You dont have to be a certified Feng Shui master to recognize this increasing trend. Which translates to simple, clean lines and minimalist features that are a signature of the Asian-influenced design leaning. So hot in home furnishings, its not at all surprising that this thematic has made its way into the kitchen and bath. Its a measure of good design.\n\nIts all about global style. From deep soaking tubs, exotic shower waterfalls\nand sinks that sleekly exemplify the art of Zen.\n\nAs homeowners integrate Japanese koi ponds into estate home entryways and lanai water features (as in a tranquil Asian-style lushly landscaped courtyards), the Asian-motifs grace and beauty continues to be used for accessories, flooring and\nfurniture. In hardgoods, there are plenty of Asian-inspired looks, including:\nfaucets with a bamboo-like sculpted finishes, along with drawer pulls reminiscent of bamboo, wood cabinetry inspired by Asian aesthetics and a sink series with its square wooden basins modeled after a traditional Japanese\nsoaking tub.\n\nClean lines and simple forms specifically characterize vanity cabinets defined by Pacific/eastern cultures. Asian design can be more asymmetrical. It is subtle, yet dramatic, and creates a peaceful ambiance. Whats noteworthy about Asian fusion basics is that some of the products arent even necessarily defined as such. But what makes them work so well is that they offer a less is more point of view with linear, sleek and contemporary sensibilities that combine unique and differentiating elements.\n\nAll of us have known the beauty that can be created by the use of paper lanterns. However, very few of us have any idea about the numerous usage and effects of using paper lanterns. Chinese have been using paper lanterns from thousands of years and according to them it plays a significant role in feng shui.\n\nPaper lanterns help in increasing fertility:\nMillions of women throughout the world face difficulty in getting pregnant. This can be a devastating experience if the wait is really long. Many people do not believe solely on doctors to help them fight the problem with their fertility. Feng shui is believed to help in improving fertility by using red paper lanterns. According to the theory of feng shui, red paper lanterns if hanged on both side of bed can help in getting pregnancy. Many feng shui experts even suggest using a red paper lantern directly over the bed.\n\nPaper lanterns help in bringing positive energy in house\nFeng shui is well known as an art that brings positive energy in peoples life.

A high-level implementation would potentially run much faster but compatibility would be quite limited due to an incredibly high number of complex opcodes to write a specific implementation for.

Those bills set line-by-line spending for the departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Energy and Veterans Affairs, among other agencies.\nThe departments of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, State, Interior, Agriculture, Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security and Justice, as well as other independent agencies, are currently operating under a continuing resolution set to expire Dec. 21. Those agencies will be forced to shut down after that date if Congress fails to act.\nAbout 850,000 employees work at those agencies, and about 345,000, or 41 percent, of them would be subject to furloughs under a partial shutdown, according to the most recent data federal agencies have made available on their contingency planning. An update to Office of Management and Budget guidance during the Obama administration required agencies to refresh their shutdown plans at least every two years starting in 2015.\nThe plans vary significantly from agency to agency, with some enabling nearly their entire workforces to continue working because of the funding stream that pays their salaries or because their jobs are necessary to protect life and property. Other agencies, such as NASA or the Housing and Urban Development Department, would send home about 95 percent of their employees. Those working during a shutdown must go without pay until the government reopens, while furloughed workers are not guaranteed back pay at all. Historically, Congress has always taken action to provide those lost wages.\nSome agencies have changed their plans drastically, following 2017 guidance from OMB Director Mick Mulvaney that instructed them to use “carry-forward funding” and “transfer authority” as much as possible to mitigate the impact of an appropriations lapse. Last year, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency planned to furlough 95 percent of its employees during a shutdown. This year, it will use unexpired multi-year and no-year funding to keep nearly its entire workforce on the job, sending home only a portion of the inspector general’s office.\nSome agencies, such as the State Department, have updated their plans but have not spelled out exactly who would be furloughed. During the 16-day shutdown in 2013, State sent home just a few hundred of its 70,000 employees, but warned it would have had to add thousands to that list if the government had remained closed much longer.\nBelow is a chart detailing the furlough rates of every agency with more than 1,000 employees that would be subject to a shutdown come Dec. 21:\nNEXT STORY: As Spending Talks Break Down, a Pay Raise for Feds Hangs in the Balance", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 666, "token_count_with_eod": 667, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

In Scollo, MM and Winstanley, MH [editors]. Tobacco in Australia: Facts and issues. Melbourne: Cancer Council Victoria; 2016. Available from: http://www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-9-disadvantage/9-3-contribution-of-smoking-to-health-inequality\nIll-health and rates of premature death in Australia show a clear gradient across socio-economic status (SES) groups.1-3 People who are more advantaged can afford better food and housing, better health care, and healthy activities. They also generally have more knowledge of healthy choices and behaviours.3\nPeople who are disadvantaged are more likely to live with multiple risks to their health. Lower socio-economic status is associated with higher rates of obesity, lack of adequate physical activity, and diabetes—especially so among Indigenous communities.1, 3, 4\nThere is also a clear social gradient among people who smoke, with lower education and income linked with higher rates of smoking (see Section 1.7). Social differentials in smoking during pregnancy, cigarette consumption, duration of smoking, and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke contribute substantially to socio-economic differentials in health status and mortality. Current smokers are much less likely than non-smokers to be in good health and the incidence of numerous diseases is significantly higher among smokers and recent ex-smokers than among long-time ex-smokers and never smokers.5, 6\nThis section outlines data on relative rates of poor health, disease, mortality, and life expectancy across SES groups, and also presents estimates of the contribution of smoking to these health disparities.\n9.3.1 Socio-economic position, reported health status and smoking\nPeople who live in disadvantaged areas are much less likely to assess their own health as excellent or good.3\nAustralians with lower incomes and education levels experience higher rates of arthritis, chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease and mental illness compared with more advantaged groups in the population. The rates of stroke, coronary heart disease, and diabetes in low socio-economic areas are more than double that of those in the highest socio-economic areas.3\nIn 2013, only 41% of smokers participating in the National Drug Strategy Household Survey reported their overall health as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’, compared to 53% of ex-smokers and 61% of non-smokers. Ex-smokers were more likely to report heart disease, diabetes, and cancer than smokers and non-smokers. Smokers were more likely to report asthma and mental illness.3\n9.3.2 Socio-economic position and illnesses known to be caused by smoking\nRates of chronic health conditions show a clear social gradient. In 2014–15, 15% of people in the most disadvantaged group reported having three or more chronic diseases, compared with 6% of the most advantaged. Smoking-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are all experienced at higher rates by lower socioeconomic groups.7 Chronic kidney disease is also more common in low socio-economic groups, and particularly so among Indigenous Australians.3, 8\nThe Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has estimated that lung cancer was the fourth leading cause of disease among men and the seventh leading cause of disease among women in 2011. Lung cancer incidence is disproportionately high in those of lower socio-economic status in Australia, with increasing incidence of lung cancer associated with decreasing socio-economic status, across the five years 2003–2007. In the year 2008–09, the rate of hospitalisations for lung cancer was higher for those living in the lowest socio-economic areas of Australia. Those living in the lowest socio-economic areas were hospitalised for lung cancer at 1.5 times the rate of those living in areas of highest socio-economic advantage.9\nThe worsening of asthma symptoms is associated with active smoking and/or exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking and asthma are both more common in those living in low socio-economic areas. The Australian Centre for Asthma Monitoring (a collaborating unit of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare) reported that in 2007–08, not only was asthma much more common among those living in the most deprived socio-economic areas in Australia, but that rates of smoking among asthmatics in low socio-economic areas were far higher than for asthmatic smokers living in areas of higher socio-economic status (37.8% and 12.9% respectively). The disparity between the lowest and highest socio-economic group in asthma prevalence was found to have widened between survey years 2004–05 and 2007–08.10 In 2014–15, 13% of the most disadvantaged Australians reported having asthma, compared with 10% of the most advantaged.7\n9.3.3 Socio-economic disparities in death rates from diseases known to be caused by smoking\nAustralians from lower socio-economic groups have a greater proportion of chronic disease mortality burden than those living in more advantaged areas.3 This sub-section presents information on socio-economic disparities in mortality rates from diseases associated with smoking, however it is important to note the influence and interplay of other health risk factors and social and economic deprivation across a life-course, in the contribution to disease and premature mortality among the disadvantaged. Section 9.3.5 provides a detailed discussion on quantifying the contribution of smoking to socio-economic differentials in health status; associations between childhood circumstances and health outcomes, smoking and intergenerational poverty are discussed further in Section 9.5.\nIn 2009–11, mortality rates were 1.3 times as high for the lowest SES areas compared to highest SES areas for males, 1.2 times as high for females, and 1.3 for both sexes combined. The leading cause of death among all groups was coronary heart disease, and rates increased with increasing disadvantage. For most leading causes of death, rates increased with lower socio-economic status. Among the most disadvantaged group, rates of deaths from COPD and diabetes were about twice that of the most advantaged, and about 1.5 times greater for lung cancer.11 There were also higher asthma mortality rates among those residing in areas of lowest socioeconomic status, particularly among people aged 5–34, who were four times as likely to die from asthma compares to people living in areas of highest socioeconomic status.12\nInternational research has shown similar trends. A 24-year study of British men and women examined the relationship between socio-economic status and mortality, and the influence smoking, alcohol consumption, diet and physical activity have on mortality. In terms of all-cause mortality, those of lowest socio-economic position had 1.6 times the risk of death in comparison to those of higher socio-economic position. There was also a graded association for cardiovascular disease mortality and socio-economic position. Health risk behaviours, including smoking, were connected with mortality.13\nResearch in other European countries,14-16 and the US,17 has found similar differences in life expectancies between people with low and high education levels and socioeconomic status, with smoking contributing to such gradients. Studies of cancer mortality in the US also show disparities related to socio-economic position, as well as ethnicity.18, 19\n9.3.4 Socio-economic disparities in health-adjusted life expectancy\nThe AIHW’s latest burden of disease report shows that in 2011, a total of 4,494,000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYS) were lost in Australia. DALYs refer to years of healthy life lost, either through premature death, or through living with ill health due to illness or injury. Table 9.3.1 shows the DALYs for each of the five socio-economic quintiles in 2011.\nTable 9.3.1\nDisability-adjusted life years lost, Australia, by socio-economic quintile, Australia, 2011\nSource: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Table 8.820\nDALY = disability-adjusted life year\nAfter adjusting for age, rates of DALYs were 1.5 times higher in the lowest SES quintile than in the highest. There was a clear association between increasing rate of burden from coronary heart disease, lung cancer, suicide and self-inflicted injuries, COPD, and stroke with decreasing socioeconomic position. Rates of years lived in ill health or with disability were 1.4 times higher, and years of life lost due to premature death were 1.7 times higher, among the most disadvantaged group compared with the least. Rates of burden were 1.7 times higher in very remote areas than in major cities.20\nTobacco use was the most burdensome behavioural risk factor, with nine per cent of the total burden attributable to smoking. Tobacco use was responsible for 80% of lung cancer DALY, 75% of the COPD DALY, about half of the total burden of oesophageal cancer (54%) and nearly half of the mouth and pharyngeal cancer (46%) burden.20\nLife expectancy among Indigenous Australians is discussed in Section 8.7.\nIn the US, researchers examined the effects of a number of health risk factors, including smoking, on life expectancy and disparities in life expectancy in eight sub-groups of the population. Individually, smoking and high blood pressure had the most profound effect on life expectancy disparities. They found that variation of life expectancies in the eight sub-groups would decline by 18% in men and 21% in women if the health risks (smoking, blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, and adiposity or obesity) had been reduced to optimal levels.21\nA 2016 report from the UK highlighted how, despite substantial increases in life expectancy, the gap in lifespan between the richest and poorest is increasing for the first time since the 1870s. From 1879 to 1939, life expectancy increased among all groups but disproportionately among the poor, largely due to improvements in health, clean drinking water, and the introduction of mass vaccination. Since then, deaths have been increasingly caused by chronic rather than infectious diseases or environmental causes, which are often attributable to health behaviours such as smoking and poor diet—behaviours that are generally more prevalent among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.22\n9.3.5 Quantifying the contribution of smoking to socio-economic differentials in health status\nEstimates of the contribution of smoking to social inequality vary, likely due to differences in study methodology and datasets. Estimates may also be affected by declines in smoking prevalence in developed countries, changing social demographics, latency of disease and death associated with smoking, and the emergence of other risk factors and their contribution to disease and mortality. This section presents research across time and using differing methods to quantify the contribution of smoking to health inequalities. Section 9.3.6 explores whether the inequalities in health outcomes and life expectancy are widening.\nIn the UK, researchers estimated that tobacco caused about two-thirds of the difference in risk of death across social class in men age 35–69 years.23 A four-country study (England, Wales, Poland and North America) reported that most social inequalities in adult male mortality during the 1990s were due to smoking.24\nAuthors of a study in Canada, Poland, and the US contended that eliminating smoking would halve the social gradient in mortality among men.25 Some public health experts been critical of these sorts of estimates, because some estimates have been derived by using lung cancer mortality as a proxy measure for smoking exposure, rather than using crude estimates to determine the contribution of smoking to socio-economic differences in mortality; hence they are likely to overestimate the importance of smoking.26 Authors of such studies have generally acknowledged the limits of indirect estimation.\nIn New Zealand, between 1996 and 1999, it was estimated that smoking contributed 21% to the gap between men aged 45–74 years with post-school qualifications and those with none. The corresponding figure for women was 11%.27 But other work suggested that only 5–10% of the larger inequality in mortality between Māori and non-Māori individuals was due to smoking, despite large differences in smoking prevalence.28 This estimate contrasted with a much greater estimated contribution by the Ministry of Health.29\nThe Australian Burden of Disease study estimated that a 21% reduction of burden could be achieved if all of the five socioeconomic groups experienced the same disease burden as the highest group.20 Researchers estimated that in Australia, smoking could account for just over one-third of the excess deaths in the 1990s that would otherwise be attributed to lower levels of education.30 Data on deaths among men aged 40–69 years taking part in a prospective cohort study in Melbourne between 1990 and 1994 showed that the association between education and mortality was greatly weakened after taking smoking into account.\nUK research showed income as a significant contributor to health inequalities, and that obesity and smoking contribute significantly, but less profoundly, to income-related inequalities in health. Obesity and smoking were estimated to contribute 1.2% and 3.2% to inequality respectively. Despite the prevalence of smoking declining over time, its effects on inequalities have slightly increased because of its over-representation among the lowest socio-economic groups and its profound effects on health.31\nIt is likely that indirect estimates of the contribution of tobacco smoking16, 24, 25 overestimate the importance of smoking by failing to take account of higher-than-average prevalence of behavioural and other risk factors in low-SES populations. Direct methods,27 however, may underestimate the importance of smoking because they do not take into account the long-term impact of smoking during pregnancy and the impact of smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke on diseases other than the ones for which epidemiological data are readily available. They also may not take account of the effects of spending on tobacco products on financial security and intergenerational poverty, which may help to perpetuate continuing high smoking rates in the children of smokers. These issues are explored further in Sections 9.4 to 9.8.\n9.3.6 Are tobacco-related differentials in health status widening?\nIn the US, the socio-economic gap in life expectancy appears to be worsening. In people who had more than 12 years of education, life expectancy in the 1990s was about a year and a half greater than it was in the 1980s. In less educated people, life expectancy increased by only half a year. Much of the growing mortality gap can be attributed to the higher levels of decline in smoking-related diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in more advantaged groups.32 Great disparities among socio-economic and racial groups exist for tobacco-related cancer incidences and mortality in the US, as well as access to, and quality of, cancer treatment.33\nA Danish study concluded that the main explanations for the increase in social inequality in mortality since the mid-1980s are smoking (particularly among women) and alcohol use (particularly among men).34 Researchers in Europe looked at mortality data in 14 European countries from 1990 to 2004. Findings showed that over time, absolute increases in smoking attributable mortality rates generally declined among men, while among women, rates increased in most countries. Relative inequalities tended to increase in most countries, especially among men.16\nThe situation for Australia is much less clear-cut.\nA study published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in 2006 indicated that death rates for cardiovascular disease reduced in all socio-economic groups between 1999 and 2003. There was a decrease in the size of the gap between the rates of death between upper and lower socio-economic groups for coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease as a whole but an increase in the relative effect of disadvantage (the proportion by which the lowest socio-economic group was higher than the highest socio-economic group) for coronary heart disease, stroke and cardiovascular disease as a whole.35 Between 1981 and 2011, overall death rates from cardiovascular disease declined. However, in 2011, those of lower socio-economic status, the Indigenous and those living in remote areas of Australia still had the highest rates of hospitalisations and death from cardiovascular disease.36\nMortality rates from cancer show a clear social gradient. For the period 2009–2012, those living in the most disadvantaged areas had the highest mortality rate for all cancers combined, and also for smoking-related cancers such as lung, pancreatic, kidney, bladder, and bowel.37 In 2009–11, lung cancer death rates were 1.6 times as high in the lowest socioeconomic group compared with the highest.11 No data could be located on whether or not disparities in lung cancer mortality have widened.\nBetween 1979 and 2006, mortality rates between low-SES groups and high-SES groups narrowed in absolute terms among females for ischaemic heart disease (27 to 23 per 100,000). However, absolute differences for ischaemic heart disease widened in males across this period (52 to 63 per 100,000). Absolute differences for stroke between low and high-SES groups declined in males and females (16 to 13 per 100,000 among males and 13 to 7 per 100,000 among females). However relative declines were greater in high socio-economic groups compared to low socio-economic groups for both ischaemic heart disease (28% average five yearly decline in high socio-economic status males compared with 21% in low-SES males, and 30% and 21% for females respectively). For stroke, there was a 25% average five yearly decline in high-SES males compared to 21% in low-SES status males; 26% and 23% for females respectively).38\nFor recent news items and research on this topic, click here.(Last updated April 2019)\n1.\tTurrell G and Mathers C.

{"text": "The 15 most impressive box office performances of 2013 -- so far\nBy Grady Smith\nKerry Brown\nWe’re officially halfway through 2013, and if you’re an obsessive box office junkie like me, that means it’s time to reflect back on the past six months at the movies and give credit to some of the best box office performances so far this year.\nBy “best,” I don’t simply mean “highest grossing” — you can find that list here — I mean most impressive. Since each movie has its own budget, its own marketing costs, and its own distribution challenges, each movie also has its own standard for success. I like to judge films on their own rubrics — so I have!\nThis year, there were a lot of close calls. Films like Oz The Great and Powerful and This is the End were this close to making the list (A Good Day to Die Hard and Jack the Giant Slayer, meanwhile, were not), but not everything could make the cut. Thus, here is my totally-up-for-debate list of the 15 Most Impressive Box Office Performances of 2013 so far. (Shown in order of highest-to-lowest grossing)\n'IRON' GIANT The third installment in the Iron Man series is poised to be a both financial and critical success.\nIron Man 3 (Disney) — $406.4 million\nNo one was positive that the success of The Avengers ($623.4 million domestic, $1.5 billion worldwide) would augment the grosses of the individual superheroes that it featured. But if Iron Man 3 is any indication, then Thor and Cappy should prepare for substantial box-office boosts when their sequels hit theaters. The Robert Downey Jr. vehicle has earned 30-percent more than its predecessor, Iron Man 2, which topped out at $312.4 million in 2010. And worldwide, Iron Man 3 has soared to $1.21 billion — a figure that guarantees that Disney is walking away with a few hundred million dollars of pure profit.\nUP, UP AND AWAY Henry Cavill takes off as the latest actor to take on the role of Clark Kent/Superman\nClay Enos\nMan of Steel (Warner Bros.) — $271.2 million\nThe box office performance of the latest Superman reboot has been a hotly contested topic. Some consider it a slam dunk, since it opened with $128.7 million and easily surpassed the disappointing $200 million domestic total of 2006’s Superman Returns. Some consider it a disappointment, since it cost a whopping $225 million to produce and has fallen swiftly from its gargantuan debut, putting it on track for a $300 million domestic finish. I fall into the former camp. Warner Bros. marketed the heck out of this Zack Snyder-directed sequel; it’s already earned $542.9 million worldwide (Returns grossed just $391 million) en route to a likely $700 million finish. While that pales in comparison to Iron Man 3‘s global haul, Man of Steel is a franchise launchpad — not a sequel — and it nicely sets up Warner Bros. to build a mega-profitable series around appealing star Henry Cavill.\nDOM-INANT SPECIES Vin Diesel is back as Dominic Toretto in the heart-punding, adrenaline-pumping sixth edition of the Fast & Furious franchise.\nFast & Furious 6 (Universal) — $235.4 million\nHow many franchises can honestly say they are on the upswing in their sixth editions? Universal’s Fast & Furious franchise certainly can — both creatively and financially. Fast & Furious 6 accelerated right out of the gate, leaving The Hangover Part III in the dust on Memorial Day weekend when it earned $117 million over the extended holiday frame. The film, which cost $160 million to make, has maintained a healthy speed since then, giving it a series-best $235.4 million domestically (ahead of Fast Five‘s $209 million) and another series-best $695 million globally (ahead of Fast Five‘s $626.1 million). Notably, Fast & Furious 6 helped The Rock achieve his incredible 19 weekend streak in the box office Top Ten.\nThe Croods (Fox) — $185.1 million\nReally, this accolade belongs to Fox’s distribution team, who wisely scheduled The Croods on March 22 — a date that followed a dryspell of family releases, and one that assured The Croods would be the only animated film in theaters for over two months. The Croods, which was produced by DreamWorks for $135 million, boasted a colorful palette and likable characters. Add in a complete lack of family competition, and it’s no wonder the film evolved into a $185.1 million domestic hit and a $578.5 million worldwide smash. That was great news for DreamWorks, which was forced to take an $87 million write-down in early 2013 after the weak performance of Rise of the Guardians, as well as Fox, which was beginning a five-year distribution deal with the animation studio.\n'GAT'-S ME IF YOU CAN Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton star in the Baz Luhrmann directed adaptaion of a literary classic.\nThe Great Gatsby (Warner Bros.) — $142.5 million\nPeriod pieces and literary adaptations are far from sure-things at the box office, but Gatsby, with its hip soundtrack and sleek visuals, managed to break out of the arthouse world and score $142.5 million — way above Baz Luhrmann’s former career high point, Moulin Rouge, which earned $57 million. Worldwide, Gatsby has earned $321 million against a $105 million budget (though some reports place its budget at $190 million, studio reps claims tax rebates brought it down substantially), providing a nice comeback for Warner Bros. following their awful streak of flops like Jack the Giant Slayer, Beautiful Creatures, and Bullet to the Head.\nBob Mahoney\nIdentity Thief (Universal) — $134.5 million\nCritics hated this $35 million Melissa McCarthy/Jason Bateman comedy, but audiences didn’t care. They were just eager to see McCarthy in a leading role, and the film scored $34.6 million on opening weekend and then held all the way to a $134.5 million finish. The film was a huge win for Universal, which has lately released several films with sensible budgets and had a banner year thanks to the success of Fast & Furious 6, Pitch Perfect, Les Miserables, and a few more films still coming up in the second half of the year.\nNow You See Me (Summit) — $110.4 million\nSummit’s $75 million magician caper has been the surprise of the summer. It out-earned Sony’s Will Smith vehicle After Earth on opening weekend, taking in $29.4 million. And since then, it’s fallen by an average of just 34 percent on each of its four subsequent weekends — pushing it past the $100 million mark and leaving it on track for a $120 million finish. The success of films like Now You See Me are the reason why Lionsgate, which purchased Summit last year, has seen its stock soar from $16.85 per share to $30.29 over the past six months.\nOlympus Has Fallen (FilmDistrict) — $98.8 million\nFledgling studio FilmDistrict scored their best box office run ever with this $70 million White House thriller, which beat the flashier $150 million White House Down into theaters, and will almost certainly beat it at the box office, too. Thanks to a captivating ad campaign, which featured the striking visual of the presidential residence in peril, the film opened with $30.4 million on March 22, and it held strong in the top ten for six weeks. Olympus also marked a comeback for star Gerard Butler, whose last three wide releases, Chasing Mavericks ($6 million total), Playing for Keeps ($13.1 million), and Movie 43 ($8.8 million), all flopped.\n42 (Warner Bros.) — $94.6 million\nThe Jackie Robinson biopic didn’t have a star in the title role (newcomer Chadwick Boseman played the baseball legend), but Warner Bros. made sure that Harrison Ford was ever-present in marketing, and the strategy paid off. The $40 million drama topped the chart on its debut weekend with $27.5 million and kept circling the bases until it reached $94.6 million total — a stronger run than Brad Pitt’s Moneyball, which scored $75.6 million in 2011 and Clint Eastwood’s Trouble with the Curve, which topped out at $35.8 million in 2012.\nMama (Universal) — $71.6 million\nMama, which was “presented by” producer Guillermo Del Toro, reaped a scary good $28.4 million during its opening weekend in the doldrums of January. It then went on to earn $71.6 million — and all against a slim $15 million budget. Mama was one of the few box office bright spots during the rough January-March period.\nSafe Haven (Relativity) — $71.3 million\nI’ll admit it: Safe Haven is not the most worthy entry on this list (and if The Heat had come out one weekend earlier, it would take its place), but I’m including the Nicholas Sparks romance for three reasons. First off, it cost only $28 million to make and earned $71.3 million — a stronger result than A Good Day To Die Hard, which opened on the same day and earned only $67.3 million. Second, Safe Haven beat the two most recent Sparks adaptations, The Lucky One ($60.5 million) and The Last Song ($63 million), and it trails only The Notebook ($81 million) and Dear John ($80 million) among those films. Third, Safe Haven became the first legitimate hit for Julianne Hough, who had only previously seen middling results in Burlesque ($39.4 million), Footloose ($51.8 million), and Rock of Ages ($38.5 million). Plus, I was weirdly tickled by Safe Haven‘s totally innovative poster.\nFREE-FOR-ALL The Purge has an innovative concept, but does it deliver?\nEverett Universal\nThe Purge (Universal) — $63.6 million\nThe Jason Blum-produced thriller cost only $3 million to make, so when it opened to $34.1 million, it had already earned back its budget nearly twelve times over. Universal effectively marketed The Purge‘s killer premise — that for one night every year, all crime is legal — and even though it has shown little box office endurance (it likely won’t be able to double its opening weekend by the end of its run), the film is a huge, profitable winner thanks to its low cost.\nThe Call (TriStar) — $51.9 million\nHere’s another case of a film’s low cost making it an “impressive” performer. This $12 million Halle Berry vehicle carried a slim $12 million budget, but its surprisingly strong $51.9 million total made it the highest grossing Halle Berry-led effort (excluding giant ensemble films like X-Men and New Year’s Eve) since 2003’s Gothika, which scared up $59.7 million. Sure, The Call may end up in a Target bargain bin by the end of 2013, but its sturdy gross and humble production costs prove refreshingly adequate in a box office era of bloated budgets and disappointing returns.\nMud (Roadside Attractions) — $20.8 million\nWith a reported $10 million budget, Mud may not be the most profitable film on this list, but the Roadside Attractions film ruled the arthouse roost in the first half of 2013. The Jeff Nichols-directed entry, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, never earned more than $2.5 million in a weekend, and never garnered a weekend theater average above $6,104, but it performed at just high enough of a level to justify its continued release. And after ten weekends, it broke the $20 million mark — a plateau that few indies ever reach — and easily trumped the gross of Nichols’ previous release, Take Shelter, which earned $1.7 million in 2011.\nQuartet (Weinstein) — $18.4 million\nThe other notable indie of 2013 is Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut, Quartet, which captured the support of older moviegoers and quietly blossomed into a hit. The film, which cost a reported $10 milllion, got a teensy bit of awards attention in late 2012, but it wasn’t available to the public until January 2013. That’s when The Weinstein Company expertly rolled out Quartet‘s release — expanding it for seven straight weekends and allowing word-of-mouth to carry business. The film, which stars Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon, only climbed as high as number 13, and its best weekend gross was just $1.8 million, but a long, hearty run in the lower rungs of the chart made Quartet an indie success.\nSome of you may think Oz The Great And Powerful should be on this list. I’d say that it cost way too much at $215 million and that its $491 million worldwide gross pales in comparison to Alice in Wonderland‘s $1 billion haul. Some of you may think Spring Breakers should be on this list. I’d say that it’s $14.1 million gross was solid, but not unbelievable given its boatloads of publicity. Some of you may think Despicable Me 2 should be on the list given its incredible start — and you’d be totally right if this list included films released in the second half of 2013. By all means, refute my choices and provide some of your own in the comments below.\nSee all the stars at the Spider-Man: Far From Home premiere\n'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' reigns over box office in opening weekend\nThe 7 funniest celebrity cameos of 2019 (so far)\nThe best wig reveals of 2019 so far\nJake Gyllenhaal on Mysterio and how Spider-Man: Far From Home goes meta on superhero movies\nThe 10 best movies of 2019…so far\nDark Phoenix director owns up to film's failure at the box office: 'That's on me'\nZendaya on MJ's high-flying Spider-Man: Far From Home scene\nHow Spider-Man: Far From Home explains the aftermath of the Snap\nThe best horror films of 2019 so far\nOn the set of Spider-Man: Far From Home: EW exclusive\nMen in Black: International continues lackluster summer box office with $28.5 million opening\nHere’s the hidden Mysterio sighting in Spider-Man: Far From Home you probably missed\nAll the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, ranked\nInside Happy and May's bigger roles in Spider-Man: Far From Home\nToy Story 4 takes second consecutive box office victory in sluggish summer weekend\nSpider-Man: Far From Home takes in $25.2 million over July 4th holiday\nTom Holland reacts to Benedict Cumberbatch's impression of him\nOlympus Has Fallen\nOz: The Great And Powerful", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 3372, "token_count_with_eod": 3373, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "To see our gallery of paper saving business ideas, click here. Or see our fact sheet of Top Ten Tips for Paper Efficiency. If your company has a good news story to tell about how you have reduced your paper use, we want to hear about it! Please send information to the Shrink Co-ordinator.\nIn 2013, we assessed 60 organisations’ paper efficiency policies and practices for the 2013 Paper Efficiency Scorecard. UK retail chain Marks and Spencer (M&S) came out top of the assessment with an overall score of 91%. What did M&S do to get such a high score and how can we learn from its success?\nFirst, the company set bold targets to significantly reduce paper usage, e.g. a 25% reduction target in printer paper. It also set targets for outsourced supplier printing, something that few organisations do.\nreduced the number of printers and ensured they were all duplex, and introduced ‘Green Print’ and ‘Pull Print’ systems.\nincreased the number of in-store products without any packaging at all.\nengaging with customers through the M&S app and tailored customer emails, leading to a decrease in printed catalogues and magazines.\nThe phone company uses digital technology to cut printing by 80%.\nVodafone secured top place in the utilities sector in our Paper Efficiency Scorecard in 2013, a whole 30 points ahead of the next best-performing telecommunications company. This is because of the dramatic paper savings it has achieved over the last four years. Despite being one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, its printer contractor now classes Vodafone as an SME based on the small amount of paper it uses!\nIt is not always possible to avoid printing but Vodafone makes sure all its employees keep it to an absolute minimum. Since starting to monitor paper statistics in 2008/9, Vodafone has been able to identify trends and areas for improvement. In three years they reduced usage from 33 million sheets of paper every year to just 6.5 million. That’s a reduction equivalent to more than 3000 trees. It also saved the company £3.5 million a year.\nSo how has Vodafone managed to make such significant progress in a relatively short period of time?\nRunning ‘A Page a Day’ employee campaign which talked about how much everyone prints and set a target of keeping it to just one page a day.\nBringing in ‘Follow me printing’ which means that nothing is printed unless an access card is swiped. Colour printing is also discouraged and printers automatically print double-sided.\nCutting the number of printers in offices to just one printer for every 125 employees, less than half the UK average.\nMoving from desktops to laptops so employees are not tied to their desks. Vodafone’s policy of hot-desking, part of its ‘Better Ways of Working’ culture, means a strict clear desk policy and discourages employees from printing by not allowing any paperwork to be left on desks overnight.\nWorking with the top 25 biggest paper users to find ways they can change their printing behaviours.\nThe Post Office has been providing essential services to communities from tiny villages to large cities for almost 400 years. With around 11,700 branches, the Post Office operates the largest retail network in the UK and every week around 18 million customers visit a Post office branch for postal, government, financial and telecoms services.\nEven with ever increasing levels of automation, 18 million customers a week still means that an incredible amount of paper application forms, till receipts, labels, envelopes, product leaflets and brochures are used every day; on average about 3000 tonnes of paper each year. Reducing paper, reducing waste and ensuring that what paper is used is sourced responsibly is therefore important to the Post Office.\nAs a business the Post Office gets through some 20 million till rolls a year. By redesigning the way that customer till receipts print sales details a saving of some 750,000 rolls a year has been achieved which, if put end-to-end, represents over 149,000km of paper – enough to go half way to the moon!\nWith a product range of several hundred items, the Post Office holds vast numbers of pre-printed forms at main post offices and it is looking at reducing these by introducing print stations in main Post Offices where a customer can just select the form they require from a touchscreen menu and a copy is printed out for them. By holding an electronic copy of the form on a central server, this allows amended forms to be uploaded for instant availability with no reprint costs or waste.\nThe Royal Society for Protection of Birds is Europe’s biggest environmental charity, with more than a million members. Its Human Resources Directorate (which includes functions such as training, personnel, etc.) identified paper use as a significant aspect of the organisation’s Environmental Action Plan. In team meetings, staff looked at the main uses of paper and worked out where they could eliminate and reduce usage.\nThe health and safety newspaper, which had been sent out on 4 or 5 pages of paper, is now sent electronically.\nPayslips for more than 2000 staff every month are now sent electronically.\nStaff are encouraged to use double-sided printing as default and to use print preview to reduce unnecessary printing, to only print key parts of emails to minimise paper use and consider alternatives before printing.\nA baseline of paper use was set in 2012/13 and the initial figures for how quickly change is happening are very encouraging: there has been a drop of 4500 sheets – a cut of 22% – in just 3 months.\nOther initiatives in the pipeline should reduce paper use even more. They are gradually shifting to an electronic personnel system, which will allow all recruitment paperwork to be done electronically, as well as staff sickness records and leave. They are also looking to replace the organisation’s varied collection of printers with fewer, more flexible printers with a locked printing facility.\nPatagonia Discovers Less Packaging Means More Sales.\nA major role of packaging is to signal to, attract and inform potential customers. Many food product labels are made of paper: sashes on tins, sticky labels on fruit, and the myriad cardboard packets that are used to conceal the cellophane-wrapped contents within, be they sausages or sweeties. Non-food products are also often wrapped in distinctive packaging, not so much to protect the contents physically, but for brand identification.\nLittlewoods, one of the UK’s largest and most well-known catalogue retailers, has saved 1.3 million trees in the past three years by reducing its paper consumption by more than 50,000 tonnes.\nThe company has made drastic cuts, of up to 66%, in the volume of paper used to create catalogues. As well as making a huge reduction in its forest footprint this has also saved 5 billion litres of water, reduced paper-related carbon emissions by 315,000 tonnes and avoided 60,000 tonnes of other pollution.\nThe paper reductions have been due to a combination of factors, including a drive to shift purchasing online. Littlewoods’ parent company, Shop Direct Home Shopping Limited, has been rationalising to prepare itself for the 21st century and by merging the customer databases for several brands it now sends out far fewer catalogues by post. It has also cut the number of pages in its catalogues, reducing their weight. Its latest catalogue is smaller still and instead of including full details of goods it is a directory designed to point customers to the internet site. The company aims for 70% of its sales to be online by 2010.\nHaymarket, one of the UK’s biggest magazine companies, has already cut office paper use by 33% since 2005, saving more than 26 tonnes of paper, and it is has set itself the target of a further 15% reduction in 2009.\nThe results of their efficiency gains are substantial money savings. Erica Okpokpor of Haymarket says: “Not only has the spend on paper reduced year on year but some of the reduction strategies implemented have generated secondary benefits, such as a reduction in the number of printers used, reduced maintenance costs on equipment, lower toner costs and the freeing up of valuable floor space.” This has included replacing desk-top printers with a central pool of printers set to print double-sided.\nThe spirit of efficiency is spreading from their offices to their core business. Although their aim is to sell more magazines, they intend to make substantial savings by making sure that they print no more than they can sell. Working with distributor Frontline, they have set a target to reduce their unsold magazines by 50%.\nThe Co-operative Group has achieved astonishing paper efficiencies by transforming the way its staff work, encouraging new, flexible work routines that make the most of digital technology and release them from desk-bound paper-heavy information systems. They have encouraged their staff to ‘cleanse’ their work areas of paper, digitally archiving large amounts of material and reducing paper use in the organisation by a staggering 71%.\nBank cashes in on paper saving opportunities, saving $10 million.\nBetween 2004 and 2013, Standard Chartered has reduced its paper consumption by an impressive two-thirds, avoiding the use of tens of thousands of trees, and saving the company more than 10 million US dollars.\nStandard Chartered Bank is a global bank with particular interests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It has over 1,700 branches, offices and outlets in 70 countries. It has been working on reducing use of office paper across its footprint since 2004 when it set its first reduction targets; these are updated every 3 years. Its current overall target is to reduce its office paper to 10kg per full time employee (fte) per year by 2020.\nPart of Standard Chartered’s strategy to reduce paper use has included looking at the type and weight of paper used, aiming to ‘light-weight’ as far as possible. To facilitate paper reduction and ensure that paper is responsibly sourced the bank has devised a grading system for papers: Gold, Silver and Bronze. All three grades must be FSC certified. The Gold standard is FSC recycled paper and the lightest paper (70g). The Bronze standard is the heaviest (80g).\nThe Bank focussed on reduction of office paper by looking at where paper was printed most and who controlled its use. In 2009 a Group Technology and Operations Sustainability Manager was hired specifically to oversee paper reduction throughout the business. In each of Standard Chartered’s operating countries it has ‘Paper Champions.’ These are staff members who are passionate about the environment and on top of their daily jobs they come up with ideas to save paper. Every quarter the Paper Champions meet virtually together with the Sustainability Manager to discuss ideas and share best practice.\nOther practical initiatives the bank has taken to reduce paper use include printing standards, a ‘Say No to Printing’ project and a competition to see which country performed best in terms of paper reduction.\nThis strategy is certainly working: In 2005 the bank’s paper use was 79kg per full time employee, while its latest figures show that this has reduced to 23kg/fte. Standard Chartered has therefore achieved a 67% reduction in paper use over the last eight years. In 2013, the bank welcomed its 3 millionth digital active customer. Today 54% of its retail customers receive eStatements, saving an estimated 16,000 trees and saving the bank US$10.8 million each year. In our 2013 Paper Efficiency Scorecard survey the bank was one of the highest-flying companies with an overall score of 89%.\nIn 2008, Bradford University made sustainability a headline issue with its Ecoversity Project, setting a target to cut paper use by 10% each year for 5 years. The project was championed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, which gave it the leadership essential to reach all parts of the organisation. Ben Tongue, Environmental Manager, said, ‘The paper saving aspect of the project was nice because it could include everyone in the University’.\nThe result was that in the first two years, the project targets were met, with A3 and A4 paper bought by the University reducing from 22.5 million sheets to 17.5 million sheets, saving £28,000 per year, plus the knock-on savings of less photocopying and printing, storage and distribution. Its central printing operation saw a reduction of 30% in the same period.\nMuch of these reductions were the result of a shift away from giving students handouts on paper, and instead giving them online access to learning materials. If students are printing downloads away from the University, then the absolute reduction in paper use may be less than that recorded, but if online billing is anything to go by, it is unlikely that this displaced impact is more than a fraction of the paper saved. Research into paper use by students (and staff) off campus would be necessary to ascertain this.\nUnfortunately, since the sharp rises in student fees, the University’s senior management has refocused its priorities away from the Ecoversity Project and there are no longer any staff with a University-wide remit to pursue the paper saving initiative. As a result in the last couple of years, paper purchases have levelled off and the environmental and financial benefits have slowed.\nIf the project could be resurrected, there is clearly much more that could be achieved. Ben says, ‘We had materials, like documents about how to print most efficiently, which were never circulated, and ideas about how IT could set systems up to save more paper.’ Let’s hope they get the opportunity to continue what was clearly an excellent project.\nFERN is one of the EEPN’s member organisations, and after they signed our common vision they set about tackling paper use in their own offices. As well as encouraging others to reduce their paper footprint, they felt it was important to try to do something about their own. Their first steps were to reduce printing in the office and move to an electronic format Annual Report, reducing the printrun by 95% (from 1000 to just 50 copies).\nThen they addressed their monthly news bulletin, Forest Watch, asking all its recipients if they would be willing to receive it electronically, rather than through the post. They pointed out that producing just one copy of each edition uses the same energy as leaving a 40w lightbulb on for 8 hours. Before they did this, they used to send out 800 paper copies of the newsletter. Since appealing for email addresses, they have only sent out 8 paper copies per month and the e-version goes out to 1,200 people.\nThis saves an estimated 440kg of paper each year. This is a modest amount, but if every organisation, large and small, was taking these simple steps, we would be well on our way to achieving our vision of halving paper use in Europe.\nDuchy Originals has produced a sleek new carton for its luxury organic chocolates, demonstrating that shrinking packaging volume by half can bring benefits for branding as well as financial and environmental savings.\nSusan Haddleton, Duchy Original’s Head of Sustainability and Procurement, recently joined the Duchy team. She has an ideal back ground in food policy, sustainable development and food packaging. Shortly after joining she looked at the Duchy products with the notion “if products could talk, what would they say?” She knew immediately that she needed to be using a lot less resources to package the chocolate ‘bezants’ (large luxury organic chocolate coins) and that the paperboard that was used needed to come from sources she could trust. The existing paperboard packaging weighed 68g and it held 200g of product.\nShe contacted the carton manufacturer and started to look at options that would allow for lighter, more resource efficient, packaging. This included looking at different elements and designs within the trade as well as the manufacturer’s ideas on carton closure options. Susan then worked with a design agency to agree the carton shape and finer detail. She also worked with the chocolate producer, and Duchy’s own technical department to get further input.\nThe resultant carton is no longer rigid like its predecessor, which means it can be transported flat prior to filling. Previously the rigid container meant that a lot of air was being transported as well as the cartons! The new carton is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified under its ‘mixed sources’ label – the wood fibre comes from a mix of FSC certified and other controlled sources. In addition Duchy made a priority of choosing a UK-based carton supplier and a UK-based paper mill, Iggesund in Workington. The chocolate bezant packaging now weighs 26g and holds 160g of product. Weight for weight this is a 48% reduction.\nSusan and the team at Duchy are viewing the new carton as a journey. They are learning along the way and see it as just one step on the road to greater sustainability. The carton can be improved further, says Susan, especially with regard to telling the sustainability story of the chocolate and a more premium unique carton profile.\nOverall the product redesign meant Duchy not only saved paper but also had an opportunity for improving its branding and product information. The new packaging takes up less space on the shelf, allowing more product into the same space. The new look package helps to present the bezants as both a premium and a sustainable product.\nIn total, this single redesign has saved 8.9 tonnes of packaging, and we estimate that this means Duchy Originals has saved 231 trees, 890,000 litres of water, 58 tonnes of carbon emissions and 10.7 tonnes of other air, water and solid pollution.\nUK finance company Standard Life has committed to reduce its paper use by 50% by 2012, becoming the first company to make a pledge with the Shrink project. It has already made a cut of 23%, saving 320 tonnes of paper.\nStandard Life’s consultation with its more than 1.5 million shareholders revealed that only 6% actually want to receive paper mailings.\nTheir paper reduction commitment is the result of an overarching environmental strategy to consume less, recycle more and dispose sensitively of what remains, and it goes side-by-side with other great environmental paper commitments such as using 100% recycled paper for photocopying and office printing and ensuring any non-recycled content in paper for marketing literature is certified as sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council.\nIts paper cuts so far have saved, by our calculations (with all our usual caveats about approximates based on averages for the paper industry etc), the equivalent of more than 8000 trees, 32 million litres of water, 384 tonnes of air, water and solid pollution, and more than 2000 tonnes of climate change emissions.\nSo how has Standard Life achieved its paper reductions? Through a combination of reduced mailings and office efficiencies. A consultation with its more than 1.5 million shareholders revealed that only 6% actually wanted to receive mailings like AGM notices on paper and the rest wanted to ‘Go paperless’. The company has therefore been able to make big shifts to online communications.\nTo get office reductions they ran a company pledging scheme, whereby 700 employees pledged to ‘think before printing, if printing to print duplex and two pages to one side’. The initiative is supported by a Green Team whose members have communicated the message, and given practical assistance like helping staff to set up local printing functions to print duplex and supporting the implementation of new technologies. The company has both upgraded and reduced the number of printers, cutting the number by half and ensuring that all have duplex facilities and other environmental benefits like energy saving.\nAs well as the the environmental benefits, the result is a substantial saving in costs of paper, energy, postage and storage space.\nUK magazine publisher IPC Media has saved 9600 tonnes of paper – that’s almost a quarter of a million trees – in an efficiency drive that has slashed the number of unsold magazines.\nIPC Media has many popular brands, including NME, wallpaper, Homes and Gardens, Woman and Home, Country Life, Marie Claire, The Field, Woman, What’s on TV, Nuts and Rugby World. More than 60% of women and 45% of men in the UK read an IPC magazine, most of which are supplied on a sale or return basis to retailers. Any unsold magazines are returned for recycling, but this wastes paper and is costly.\nIPC set about devising efficiency measures in its supply chain, together with distributor Marketforce. These include computer models that can forecast sales more accurately and new technology for better print order planning. They have introduced sales-based replenishment systems to wholesalers and points of purchase, so the stock of magazines in shops can be topped up as needed, rather than overstocked just in case they might sell well. People are just as big a part of the measures as technology: they have put in place a dedicated team of supply and demand experts and worked on improving communication with their wholesalers and distributors, especially about magazine brands, so that everyone in the supply chain is better informed and able to avoid waste.\nThe results are impressive: unsold magazines have reduced by 16% since the end of 2006, with 30 million fewer unsold magazines, giving a total saving of 9,600 tonnes of paper. By our calculations (with all our usual caveats about approximates based on averages for the paper industry etc) IPC Media’s paper reduction has saved around 249,600 trees, 960 million litres of water, 11,520 tonnes of air, water and solid pollution and at least 60,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.\nBarclays Capital in the UK has saved £200,000 through office paper efficiency measures that have cut in-house paper use by 48.1%.\nThe cost savings include energy and toner reductions as well as the actual cost of the 20 million sheets of paper they have saved. This 90 tonne reduction is the equivalent of 2340 trees, nearly a million litres of water, 567 tonnes of CO2, and more than 100 tonnes of other pollution.\nOne of the bright ideas leading to the paper savings was to reformat internal investment presentations known as ‘pitch books’, from single-sided A4 to double-sided A5. In one year, this new format’s use in London saved 7.7 million sheets of paper! A further 3 million sheets were saved by reducing valuations mailed to clients from 14 to 5 pages, and contract note schedules from 20 pages down to 1 page.\nShifting to a managed print service has also brought about both paper and energy efficiencies. One of the technological innovations is the use of ‘PIN to collect’, whereby staff use a swipe card to pick-up printouts from central printers, thus both ensuring confidentiality and reducing waste from forgotten print-jobs.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 4929, "token_count_with_eod": 4930, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "The conference ritual\nThere's this ritual that I have: Every year I log onto whichever of the gaming news sites are showing webcasts of the E3 conferences, and in another window I click open British gaming forum rllmukforum.com, wherein live commentary is provided. It's a real treat for two reasons: 1. The conferences are usually dreadful, full of flash graphics and music around some of the worst presentation giving you have ever seen. They are legendarily awful unless there's some totally awesome hardware launch. 2. The commentary on the forum, on the other hand, is fantastic. They literally tear it apart in a super-lively babble of reality up until the point that the forum keels over for having too many users. Things we've shared over the years:\nFist-pumps to no applause\nTimid voices trying to sound exciting\nEverybody using the words \"opportunity, \"experience\", \"innovation\", \"compelling\", \"exciting\" blah\nFake thanks on stage\nPeople clearing throats\nBored bored bored journalists\nThe \"one more thing\" thing which is so tired even Steve Jobs doesn't do it any more\nIt's great fun, but not really what the interested parties are trying to do, surely? It strikes me that if you're going to do the conference thing then surely the thing to learn is some stagecraft? Don't put the timid exec on stage if he's not good in front of a crowd, for instance. Find someone to do it for you with confidence, even a celebrity if you have to. Don't talk about how exciting things are: show how exciting they are. Don't trot out lists of features as a replacement for content. In the end of the day, there are better ways to present this stuff but ultimately what it comes down to is charisma, and most of these people doing the conferences are no doubt very talented at their jobs but they comes across as nerds talking about their science project at the head of a bored class on a hot summer's day. \"Exciting!\"\nPosted by Tadhg at 6:47 p.m. Links to this post\nA question of value\nIf I were to ask you what you think the value your game's content was, what would your answer be? I think most developers would answer somewhere between 10 and 25 pounds (or 20 and 50 dollars US). It's what they would likely consider a fair price for their services rendered, and that's perfectly understandable.\nThe problem is that they don't set the value of their output, the public do. And the public have always placed the value of content at one number:\nWhen paying for entertainment, the public are always paying for one of three things: Tickets, memorabilia or convenience. Tickets as in entry to an event. Memorabilia as in merchandise. Convenience as in the ability to use their content as and when they choose. So, for example:\nA ticket to go see Led Zeppelin\nT-shirts for the event\nAn album of greatest hits that they can pop on and listen to whenever they choose\nIt's not the actual thing that they'll pay for so much as the toll to get to the thing, in otherwords. This is largely born out by the radio and television industries' realisations back way whenever that people wouldn't actually pay to listen to radio shows or watch TV shows. Instead they developed the first business models that gave content away at the value which the public perceived (i.e. for free) and instead made the toll a business-to-business transaction in the form of advertising. And I think we can all agree that that model has been nothing short of a roaring success for those companies that could scale that model appropriately. Add in the extra ticket incentive of cable television and there you have it.\nSo, to games.\nCurrently most games sell themselves on the convenience model. The discs that the people buy to put in their Xboxes represent the equivalent of the album. Except not all discs will fit all boxes, a situation that fragments the market in a bad way and keeps games effectively on the sidelines culturally. While the industry wrestles over which format to support (and these are especially uncertain times in that regard), it effectively produces a natural cap for the consumer that does not want to be confused and suspicious.\nThe convenience model for games therefore has its limits, because the prices for new games are quite high compared to other forms of entertainment, and the selections are small. Thus the only predictable course for the industry overall is to continue building self-enclosed toy empires that extract value as much as possible from each step of the chain. The Nintendo model, basically, of which the only step that's still missing is for Nintendo to bite the bullet and open a set of retail stores. As things stand I can't see why they wouldn't.\nAnother fairly popular model is the ticket approach. In this model, the game is kept away from the player until he pays a toll to access. World of Warcraft is an example of this model in action, as is arcade gaming or interactive TV \"pay to play\" services (small disclosure: I currently work in that end of the industry). Ticket models have a significant advantage over that of the convenience model in that they can encourage repeat or continuous purchasing form the players. For their £8.99 a month, players play as much as they want, and Blizzard eventually make out extremely handsomely as the players eventually end up paying far more than they would have had they been individually purchasing the game plus updates.\nAside from the fairly small trade in gaming merchandise such as plastic figurines and cross-media applications like Halo novels and the odd movie tie-in, the main kind of memorabilia sale in the games industry is through the exclusive edition, in-game property (i.e. micro-transactions) and that sort of thing. People like a sense of ownership, particularly of something tangible.\nThe key thing to understand from all this nugget-wisdom above is that regardless of your feelings (as a developer or would-be developer) about piracy, your sense of self-worth, your feeling that things should have a value and so on, the public essentially doesn't care. A game is essentially the same thing to them as an album or a movie. It lacks a tangible quality and, being ephemeral, doesn't feel like it has any intrinsic worth.\nDon't be depressed, because this is something that you can use to your advantage. It's just about realising that just because they think it has zero value does not mean that it is worthless. Here are some ideas:\nBuild a game based on ticket sales\nBuild a game based on sponsorship and promotion\nBuild a game in which the basic PC version is free, but you charge for the convenience of an iPhone version\nBuild a game in which tangibles mean something\nBuild a game which you distribute freely, but charge extra for support, etc\nSell a premium version of your game in a box with quality tat for 50 pounds a box\nAnd so forth.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

The Government is committed to making the United Kingdom home of genomic healthcare and the National Genomic Healthcare Strategy, which we plan to launch in autumn 2019, will set out how the genomics community can work together to make the UK the global leader. The strategy will look at how genomic analysis at system-wide level can continue to be optimised for the benefit of UK patients with a range of conditions, including cancer, but it will not seek to focus in each type of cancer individually.
\nBiography information for Nic Dakin\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what cancer types will be offered whole genome sequencing through the Genomic Medicine Service as part of routine care in the next five years.\nWolverhampton South West\nEleanor Smith\nAs part of the NHS Long Term Plan, the National Health Service has committed to sequencing 500,000 whole genomes by 2023/24.
During 2019, whole genome sequencing will be available as part of routine NHS clinical care for some patients with rare disease and cancer, where there is evidence that it is clinically effective. The conditions are outlined in the National Genomic Test Directory which specifies which genomic tests are commissioned by the NHS in England, the technology by which they are available, and the patients who will be eligible to access to a test. This is available at the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/national-genomic-test-directories/
\nBiography information for Eleanor Smith\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to consult with charities and patient organisations on whole genome sequencing.\nGenomics England has consulted charities, patient groups and participants from the 100,000 Genomes Project during the development of consent materials for the use of data from whole genome sequencing in research. Genomics England has also engaged with and sought input from charities and participants as it explores how best to realise the ambition to sequence five million genomes.
The NHS Genomic Medicine Centres established by NHS England to support the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes project have engaged with patients, the public and the independent sector. In addition, as part of the development of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, NHS England is working with charities and patient organisation to help develop patient facing materials and information that will be used to support the introduction of whole genome sequencing in the National Health Service.
The Government is committed to making the United Kingdom home of genomic healthcare and the National Genomic Healthcare Strategy, which we plan to launch in autumn 2019, will set out how the genomics community can work together to make the UK the global leader. The Government is consulting widely - including with charities and patient organisations - in the development of the National Genomics Healthcare Strategy.
\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which diagnostic tests will whole genome sequencing replace, particularly for blood cancers.\nDuring 2019, the National Health Service will begin to offer whole genome sequencing (WGS) as part of clinical care for:
- Seriously ill children likely to have a rare genetic disorder;
- People with one of 21 rare conditions where current evidence supports early adoption of WGS as a diagnostic test; and
- People with specific types of cancer for which there is likely to be the greatest patient benefit from using WGS – children with cancer, sarcoma and acute myeloid leukaemia.
WGS will only replace existing diagnostic tests once the testing is demonstrated to be clinically safe to replace existing diagnostic testing. Initially, existing diagnostic testing will continue to be performed alongside WGS testing where clinically appropriate. This will continue until WGS is able to fully support clinical decision making within clinically appropriate timescales.
Current testing for blood cancers includes a number of diagnostic tests, the current expectation is that WGS will not be used to replace tests that require very fast turnaround times (under 24 hours) or high sensitivity.
WGS and non-WGS testing that will be available as part of clinical care is outlined in the National Genomic Test Directory at the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/national-genomic-test-directories/
The UK Genetic Testing Network (UKGTN) published the NHS Directory of Genetic Disorders/Genes for Diagnostic Testing, which evaluated and recommended genetic tests for rare and inherited disorders for the National Health Service across the UK. However, there was not an equivalent for cancer genomic testing. The National Genomic Test Directory specifies which genomic tests are commissioned by the NHS in England, the technology by which they are available, and the patients who will be eligible to access to a test.
The National Genomic Test Directory will be updated on an annual basis and NHS England will implement a clear and transparent process, supported by a Clinical and Scientific Expert Panel, to determine which tests are available within the NHS. This will include reviewing any tests that may be retired or replaced by more modern technology, such as WGS. As the price of WGS falls and the clinical evidence improves, we envisage that it will be extended to more conditions and therefore more patients.
\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the National Genomic Test Directory directly replaces the NHS Directory of Genetic Disorders/Genes for Diagnostic Testing.\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how will new tests be added to the National Genomic Test Directory.\nTo ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to provide training for NHS staff on whole genome sequencing.\nAs part of the NHS Long Term Plan, the National Health Service has committed to sequencing 500,000 whole genomes by 2023/24.
To deliver this, NHS England is working closely with the NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs to monitor the workforce plans that are being put in place to support the delivery of the whole genome sequencing (WGS) service. This will continue after the service has launched as part of ongoing monitoring.
Health Education England established the Genomics Education Programme to support NHS staff to build the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver a WGS service. This programme is being embedded into organisations to enable long term sustainability of the multi-disciplinary, clinical workforce.

There is considerable variation in the reported costs of genomic analysis. For Genomics England, during the 100,000 Genomes project, these were in order of £2,500 per cancer patient. This included sequencing both the patient’s normal genome and their tumour, as well as the running costs of undertaking both the sequencing and bioinformatics for analysis and interpretation.
Health Education England established the Genomics Education Programme to support NHS staff to build the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver a whole genome sequencing service. This programme is being embedded into organisations to enable long-term sustainability of the multi-disciplinary clinical workforce.

{"text": "What is a myxedema coma?\nMyxedema is the medical term for severe hypothyroidism. It also refers to the skin changes that can happen with this condition.\nHypothyroidism occurs when the body does not make enough of the thyroid hormones. It is estimated that 4.6 percent of the United States (U.S.) population, aged 12 years and above, has hypothyroidism.\nMost cases of hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, are mild. However, hypothyroidism left untreated can result in myxedema.\nThe most life-threatening complication associated with myxedema is a myxedema coma.\nWhen the body experiences an ongoing deficiency of thyroid hormones, there is a heightened risk of a myxedema coma.\nA myxedema coma is also known as a myxedema crisis. This serious medical condition occurs when the body can no longer cope with long-term, severely low levels of thyroid hormones.\nAlthough it is rare, a myxedema coma is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. In some cases, it can result in death.\nDespite the name, a myxedema coma does not require the presence of either myxedema (skin changes) or a coma for it to be diagnosed.\nAccording to the American Academy of Family Physicians, the primary sign of myxedema coma is a deterioration of mental state. For example, a person may experience confusion, hallucinations, or disorientation.\nPotential causes of myxedema include inflammation or removal of the thyroid gland, certain medicines, and pregnancy.\nMyxedema is the result of severe hypothyroidism that is undiagnosed or not treated. It is most commonly seen in those with a history of thyroid surgery or radiotherapy.\nHashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition and the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.\nThyroiditis, or inflammation of the thyroid gland.\nCongenital hypothyroidism, a condition present from birth that is usually screened for in newborns.\nSurgical removal of the thyroid due to thyroid cancer or other conditions.\nPituitary gland abnormalities caused by surgery, tumors, or medical conditions, such as Sheehan's syndrome.\nPregnancy, with some research estimating that hypothyroidism occurs in 1 out of every 1,600 to 2,000 deliveries.\nIn rare cases, myxedema may occur in people with normal thyroids but whose pituitary gland or hypothalamus, both of which are part of the brain, fail to send messages correctly to the thyroid gland.\nThyroid hormones regulate metabolism, or the way the body uses energy. If thyroxine levels are low, many of the body's functions slow down. Learn more about hypothyroidism.\nThe biggest risk factor for myxedema coma is to have hypothyroidism that is untreated.\nA doctor, usually an endocrinologist, will probably be able to diagnose severe hypothyroidism or myxedema based on a person's symptoms. A diagnosis will be confirmed using blood tests.\nT3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). Low levels of hormones produced by the thyroid can indicate hypothyroidism.\nThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Produced by the pituitary gland, a high level of TSH suggests hypothyroidism. This is because the pituitary is signaling to the thyroid that more levels of T3 and T4 are needed in the body.\nHeart activity may be checked using an ECG (electrocardiogram) and the brain may be looked at with a CT scan. Lung function might also be tested.\nAs myxedema coma is a medical emergency and life threatening, so it requires immediate treatment, usually in an intensive care unit (ICU).\nTreatment options may include thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which will be administered through an IV line.\nDoctors will continually monitor the level of consciousness and vital signs of those with myxedema coma.\nThyroid hormone replacement therapy is administered through a vein, using an intravenous (IV) line.\nIt may take weeks for a person's thyroid hormones to return to normal levels. Once levels are restored, their symptoms will improve. However, some form of thyroid medication will be necessary for the rest of the person's life.\nIf doctors do not diagnose myxedema coma swiftly and treat it urgently, it can be fatal. Even with prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment, studies have suggested that between 30 and 60 percent of people die.\nHowever, once myxedema is under control and the symptoms of myxedema coma have passed, the outlook is good, provided people follow their treatment regimen for the rest of their lives.\nArticle last reviewed by Fri 4 August 2017.\nLeonard, Jayne. \"Myxedema coma: Causes, risk factors, and outlook.\" Medical News Today.

Toll free numbers are usually set up via call forwarding and the affordability of these numbers has exploded.\nFor years, phone companies offer features such as Remote Call Forwarding (RCF) to clients. RCF would give the illusion that a company was local to a certain area. While many businesses initially frowned at this process, it became a common practice. Remote call forwarding allows a business in the city, to have a suburban presence making them more desirable and expanding their marketplace. In addition, many companies use the RCF feature so that the phones are always forwarded to their cellular phone or hand held devise.\nConnecting to an Answering Service or call center is another reason for phone number forwarding. Companies typically utilize this feature to connect to the contact center. Call forwarding is a feature that has changed the way that answering services do business.

Ltd. is set to spend 12.2 billion yuan ($1.79 billion) to build an aviation logistics hub in East China’s Zhejiang province, as the courier gears up to compete with rivals, including SF Express, amid a booming e-commerce trade.\nThe facilities will encompass an area of over 1 million square meters (247 acres) within Jiaxing Airport, the Shanghai-based courier said in a statement (link in Chinese) on Monday.\nAn initial investment of 7.3 billion yuan will be spent on building the hub, on which construction is set to begin this year and for which plans call for completion by 2021. The remainder of the 12.2 billion yuan will go to expand other businesses, including cargo jets.\nThe hub will act as a cargo center for YTO both nationally and globally. Part of the capital will be used to expand the company’s cargo-plane fleet to 50 by 2030, up from the current 10. By 2030, the facilities are expected to have an annual freight capacity of 1.1 million tons, and to more than double to 2.4 million tons by 2050.\nFlights from Jiaxing Airport, on China’s city cluster on the Yangtze River Delta, can reach all of China’s main urban centers — including the Pearl River Delta in the southern Guangdong province — within three hours, YTO Vice President Su Xiufeng said.\nThe move comes as the country’s couriers race to expand their logistics networks to meet surging demand on the back of thriving e-commerce activities.

{"text": "Family law is the law of domestic relations. It is concerned with issues that involve family relationships, parties that are related either by blood or by marriage. When facing the family law, it is essential to hire a real lawyer to assist your legal process. A lawyer will help you through the process to ease you. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and skillful. Find seasoned professionals to be the attorney of your case. Family law encompasses an array of legal issues and matters. Attorneys who practice family law customarily handle divorce, adoption, child support, child custody, emancipation, paternity, pre-nuptials, and all other related legal matters. For more detailed information and explanation, we break down the most popular issues of family laws where lawyers are typically needed.\nThe large preponderance of the proceedings of family law is the result of romantic relationship or marriage termination or separation. In a typical case, each spouse usually hires their own attorney. For spouses that have only been married for a short time, they may ask for an annulment. For long-term married couples, they will ask for separation by divorce. There are a lot of things that come with marriage termination. These things are property division, financial support such as alimony, and proposing plans for child custody, support, and visitation. They will usually organize a settlement plan so that they can avoid a trial. But if trials ensue, attorneys will make the best out of it.\nWhen children are involved, it is a matter of family law. Issues such as child support, child custody, adoption, surrogacy, paternity, and even emancipation are on the list. Child support and child custody are the issues that follow along with separation of the parents. Adoption and surrogacy are matters concerning on obtaining a child. Surrogacy is a complex process. But not as complex as adoption. Therefore, it is crucial to consult a reputable attorney. Paternity is the step to take to establish and disestablish fatherhood, usually done by tests. Emancipation, on the other hand, is when a child takes on adult responsibility and no longer being under the care of their parents.\nAgreements related to family, relationship, and marriage matters are all under the law of domestic relations. These arrangements are to settle a dispute, conflicts, and other problems whether in the present or in the future. These agreements include separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, and also post-nuptial agreements.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Since his first journey to Thailand in August 2006 and his meeting with ″Coocky″ Tassanee Boonsom, he is mainly specialising in the practice and teaching of Traditional Thai Massage as well as in Abdominal Detox Massage, also known as Chi Nei Tsang. There he attended several schools internationally renowned such as the Old Medicine Hospital, Sunshine Massage School and of course LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga.\nBetween 2008 and 2014 Xavier mainly lived in Chiang Mai where he co-directed LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga with Coocky and taught there to many students coming from different countries. During that time, he has also completed several courses of OsteoThai with David Lutt, and has begun to study Kundalini Yoga with Siri Shabad Singh.\nToday Xavier is trained in the specific technique of Karsai Massage (also known as Karsai Nei Tsang) with Coocky, and continues his journey in Traditional Thai Massage and OsteoThai with Arno L’Hermitte.\nXavier Hlavacek is the official representative in France of LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga, massage school based in Chiang Mai, Thailand.\nOwner and founder of LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Coocky is one of the most experienced specialists in Traditional Thai Massage, Abdominal Detox Massage (also known as Chi Nei Tsang) and Karsai Massage (also known as Karsai Nei Tsang).\nTassanee Boonsom has trained with and learned from many different teachers. She studied nerve touch or \"jap sen\" with her first teacher Mama Lek Chaiya on Thapae Road in Chiang Mai. Then she searched for more schools to study at and completed several more courses with Pichest Boonthumme, Ithidet Manarat \"Poo\", at the Old Medicine Hospital, the Health Care Department of Thailand, and Wat Po to name a few.\nTassanee Boonsom has also studied several times at Tao Garden: Chi Nei Tsang with Master Mantak Chia and Jutta Kellenberger, Chi Kong and Tai Chi with Master Li Hechun, and Karsai Nei Tsang with Khun Nom and Khun Ni. In the same way Coocky studied self-development with Khun Jasmine at Pothiyalai, Ashtanga Yoga with William at Yogasala and practiced meditation at Wat Rampoeng in Chiang Mai. She has been practising Reusi Datton (traditional Thai yoga), for many years and recently she has begun to study Kundalini Yoga with Siri Shabd Singh.\nCoocky has travelled overseas since 2003, including Japan, Switzerland and Italy, to promote and teach Traditional Thai Massage and Abdominal Detox Massage. Since 2014 she regularly visits France to support Xavier Hlavacek's massage school based in Poitiers.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 763, "token_count_with_eod": 764, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Simon Staffans: 6 Ways to Disrupt TV\n\nImage: How can you create a TV company as disruptive as Netflix? Follow our guide!\n\nDisrupt television, and you’ll be onto a goldmine; not only financially, but also socially and storytelling-wise. Many attempts have been made, and television as a whole has shrugged its shoulders and carried on with business as usual. For anyone contemplating being the person to actually disrupt television, here are six possible starting points to take note of:\n\n1. Understand the people in television\n\nThis might be news to some, but the television industry is made up of hundreds of thousands of people. The might just have started out or they might have been in the biz for decades; they might be operating cameras or work as show runners, or they might be in the upper echelons of major broadcasters. They’re all people, though. And they all have the same traits as people overall; some are reluctant to change, some embrace it. Some are in it for the money, some for the art, and so on. What anyone wanting to disrupt television need to embrace is the simple fact that they need to take into account a long history of how things have been done, and try to argue against this history, while viewing figures are still as strong as ever. I saw a good example of this issue at MIPCOM 2012, when YouTube held a workshop for producers – “How to work with YouTube” – where there was very little discussion and quite a lot of “listen to us telling you how you should function and produce”. Yes, YouTube has a lot of weight to throw around, but at the same time, actually listening to and respecting your counterpart is usually a good way to start off collaborations. Research the people, how they talk and how they function, so that you can talk on the same level to them.\n\n2. Actually watch some TV to start with\n\nIt’s interesting, how many of the people I’ve met working on distruptive stuff that don’t actually watch television. They might have a favorite series, that they torrent once a week, or they might catch sports events or the occasional other event, but they don’t watch television. It should be an essential part of anyone working on distrupting a field, to familiarize themselves with that field of activity before attempting to disrupt it. Again, look at it as research. But never just watch TV. Stay focused and analyze what you see, mirroring your analysis against what you’re working on.\n\n3.Make it easier; or cheaper; or better\n\nThere are only three ways you will gain enough interest for whatever it is you are doing for it to get any sort of traction within the TV industry.Whatever it is that you’re trying to do it has to make people’s work or their output or their connection to the audience either easier or cheaper or better. Preferrably all three, of course; if a choice has to be made I, as a creator, would go for better over easier and easier over cheaper; other people in the biz would probably have other preferences.\n\n4. Understand that there is no one fix for all\n\nAgain, so many of the people I talk to claim that their solution will work across the TV industry. It won’t – simple as that. If it’s not down to territories and cultural identities and tradition, it’s down to even more basic stuff such as audience and genres and broadcaster policies and ratings. A thorough market research is the one thing essential to perform to break through this. You need to know WHO would need what you have on offer and have a pretty good guess as to HOW they might react when you pitch it to them. Even then, if you’ve managed to land a deal, make sure you keep check on everything you can keep check on; even within the walls of a broadcaster, the differences between different departments – silos – might be staggering.\n\n5. The audience is – again – your channel\n\nI wrote a post earlier on the audience being your channel to utilise to connect to other members of the audience. The same goes for broadcasters; the best way to get to them is through their viewers, without TV being attached at all from the beginning.Take for example the instant social media behemoth that is Twitter. Since people have started using Twitter and discover that the instant communication possibility is both exhilirating, interesting and a little bit frightening, and that it is as made for tweeting and commenting along to different types of content, broadcasters have begun to take note as well. They HAD to, as people were talking about their shows on Twitter anyway; now they hashtag every other show on their channels. By not giving a damn about the TV industry, Twitter impacted it more than many other ventures around the world.\n\n6. Be prepared to let partners in, or to let go of control\n\nFinally, there is next to no way that you will have your solution to yourself, if you want to get into the industry and make an impact. Just as with TV formats, where the first broadcaster to agree to broadcast a first series in most cases automatically assume that 20-30% of the rights to the format should belong to them. And they usually do. Also, distributors, co-production partners etc, they all have their say and their claim on percentages of your idea. My suggestion would be to lawyer up and defend your corner and your proposal – within the limits of decent behaviour and common sense, naturally.\n\nAbout Author\n\nAs Head of Social Media for Reed MIDEM, James Martin oversees social strategy and deployment for B2B events MIPTV and MIPCOM, Midem (music industry) and MIPIM & MAPIC (real estate & retail).

{"text": "In an interesting turn of events, Apple executives revealed that the Apple ID password linked to the iPhone 5c belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooter was changed within 24 hours of the government taking possession of the phone.\nPreviously, the FBI believes that San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone could contain information about the shooting, including the names and contact information of other terrorists and may contain evidence of other planned attacks. Unfortunately, the attacker’s iPhone was locked and requires a numerical PIN to unlock the device. As a result, FBI wants Apple to provide access to his iPhone and a federal judge ordered Apple Inc. to provide access of the iPhone’s encrypted data to the FBI.\nHowever, Apple has declined the request saying it would set a “dangerous precedent” and Apple CEO Tim Cook has written an open letter clarifying his and the company’s stand on protecting its user’s privacy.\nNow, Buzzfeed News reports that the Apple Executives has found a key fact that could subvert the basis of the court order that forces Apple to provide backdoor access of iPhone to FBI. According to Buzzfeed, Apple executives are in talk with the government since early January regarding this case and they proposed four different ways to recover the information the government is interested in without building a backdoor.\nOne such method was to connect the phone to a known Wi-Fi network and then trigger an iCloud backup on the device, which then might provide the FBI with the desired information. The company had even sent its trusted engineers to FBI’s office for this, but they failed to recover any data using this method as the Apple ID password associated with the device was changed. The executives also claim that if the password had not changed then the government would not need to demand the company create a “backdoor” to access the iPhone, thus effectively posing a threat to customers’ privacy.\nHowever, the FBI insists that the San Bernardino Health Department, which owned the iPhone 5c and assigned it to then-employee Farook, changed the password.\nThe recent revelation follows a push by the U.S. Department of Justice to compel Apple’s cooperation in assisting the FBI with creating a backdoor to the iPhone in question. The Department of Justice has earlier filed a new motion to force Apple comply with the order to assist FBI and called Apple’s stance in this case as a marketing ploy.\nApple says that no other government has ever requested the company to make encryption modifications of its software. In addition, the company also claims that the tool the FBI is asking the company to create could potentially work as a blueprint for cracking into more devices in the future, even going so far as to render a key security feature of newer iPhones and iPads useless.\nWe are not sure how long Apple can keep its stance and whether it will give into government pressure. However, we can be sure this will define the future of the security in newer iOS and Apple may even design their OS to make it technically impossible to force them to comply with requests like this.\nwill the same apply for other mobile vendors too? or other mobiles are easily crackable?", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 628, "token_count_with_eod": 629, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "It may not be a surprise to hear that Mike Tomlin is at a Pro Day. Year in and year out it is reported that Tomlin is spotted at Pro Days more than any other coach in the NFL. However, for the Michigan Pro Day Mike Tomlin rounded up the whole crew and for good reason.\nGeneral Manager Kevin Colbert, Director of Player Scouting Dan Rooney Jr. Defensive coordinator Keith Butler, Defensive assistant Terryl Austin, and tight ends coach James Daniel, and even special teams coach Keith Butler were spotted at the event to highlight each Michigan draft prospect.\nThe obvious tie is going to be with Devin Bush, and for good reason, but Michigan has plenty of pro talent to offer. Rooney Jr. was out with pass rusher Chase Winovich the night before. Here is the list of every Michigan player, and the likelihood of the Steelers drafting them.\nEvery mock draft from now until draft day is going to at least bring up the name Devin Bush, and most are going to pin him to the Steelers. The Steelers have a huge need at linebacker and barely addressed it when Ryan Shazier went down with his devastating injury. It seems as though they are set to make amends and Kevin Colbert even admitted he did not do enough to fill that void.\nThe Steelers signed a cornerback and a wide receiver and let L.J. Fort go in free agency. They seem to be betting that whether it be Bush or White, one of them is going to drop to 20.\nThe good news for Steelers fans is that three quarterbacks and four offensive linemen all have top 20 potential. There is also a group of impact pass rushers who should go high, leaving the chance that the second or even first linebacker selected in 2019 is at pick 20. If that is the case, Bush would be the perfect fit and the Steelers sent the big names to sign off on him.\nThe Steelers also met with a Michigan pass rusher who graduated from Thomas Jefferson high school. The Steelers may be looking to bring Winovich back home in a package deal with his Michigan teammate Bush. Winovich is a savage off of the edge who plays with high intensity snap in and snap out.\nOn top of that, he tested extremely athletic, especially in his bend and flexibility. That is key for getting around the edge quickly as a pass rusher. Think of James Harrison and how low he was able to get to the ground when he dipped below tackles.\nWinovich has short arms and struggled to turn pressures into sacks, which is going to drop him closer to the Steelers second-round pick. With Bud Dupree signed for one more year Winovich could compete with Dupree for one season with the upside to replace him long term.\nMost will point to Bush and Winovich, but the secondary could use David Long in the middle rounds as well. While Long does not get the buzz of the other two, it’s mainly because he did not allow many catches. Long allowed nine catches all season but lined up on the outside and projects to the slot in the NFL due to his size limitations.\nStill, Long tested as an elite athlete and played like one as he pressed and mimicked receivers routes. His inside-outside combination and production could entice the Steelers in the middle rounds.\nGentry is a pure blocking tight end. He is a strong run blocker, who is limited in the passing game. The Steelers could find a compliment to Vance McDonald in the late rounds with Gentry.\nEven Karan Higdon could fill into the Steven Ridley role. He is undersized, but runs tough and can break tackles. Ridley provided in short yardage situations and special teams, and while Danny Smith may be interested in the three names above, Higdon could fill those same shoes for the Steelers next season.\nGary did not particapte in the Pro Day events and is likely to be drafted before the Steelers select at 20th overall.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 807, "token_count_with_eod": 808, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "SATs could be on their way out but their proposed replacement - single level tests - is not proving to be the panacea many had hoped for, according to feedback from the pilot scheme. Liz Lightfoot reports.\nWhile reform of the national curriculum tests has been on the cards since the DCSF's Making Good Progress consultation in January 2007, this summer's SATs fiasco gave ministers an extra incentive to overhaul Key Stage 3 and 4 exams.\nHowever, since the government pledged to rethink assessment at 11 and 14 and in the same breath gave assurances that league tables were here to stay, it has looked remarkably like a Hobson's choice for the profession.\nAround 450 schools, 77 of them middle or secondary, have been trying out the planned changes to assessment over the last year as part of the Making Good Progress pilot.\nWith the trial at its halfway point the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority is now studying the results of the first year as schools embark on the second. At the end of the summer term, ASCL also sought feedback from members who had participated in the pilot.\nAnnouncing the Making Good Progress trials in June 2007, three weeks before he left for the Department of Health, education secretary Alan Johnson likened the new regime to graded music tests.\nChildren would sit single level tests 'on demand' when they were ready for them instead of waiting until the end of each key stage; there would be money for one-to-one tuition, a trial of a new assessment measure - Assessing Pupil Progress; and new targets for children moving two levels in each key stage with proposed 'progress' bonuses for schools that met them.\n\"We think that good tracking by teachers, confirmed by shorter, more frequent tests, will help schools to personalise each child's learning,\" he said.\nThe proposal was welcomed, cautiously, by those including ASCL who sensed a weakening of the Government's testing regime. ASCL, however, issued this warning: \"The clear statement of assessment for learning and endorsement of it is welcome. However, it should be remembered that high-stakes, externally marked tests are antipathetic to assessment for learning.\"\nASCL has since voiced concerns to the government about the single level tests, pointing out that they could do even more to narrow the curriculum and encourage teaching to the test.\nAnd 15 months on, what do the secondary schools in the pilot have to say about the tests? As so often in education policy, the reality has not lived up to much of the rhetoric.\n\"Our experience was overwhelmingly negative,\" says Alan Hardie, the deputy headteacher of Whitburn C of E School in South Tyneside.\n\"We feel very strongly that the tests being at a single level disadvantages pupils. All other tests they face are on an incline of difficulty, allowing them to build up confidence on the easier questions before tackling the more difficult ones. In single level tests there is far less scope for this.\"\nOther schools were more optimistic, saying single levels on demand are better than the present 'big bang' system and hoping they can mould the changes to feed into the new emphasis on personalised learning and curriculum innovation.\nOne thing on which everyone agrees is that the first tests last December were not a success.\n\"We learned very little from the first round, due to the excessive security surrounding the examination papers. We were not allowed to keep a copy or even photocopy any of the test papers. No mark scheme was issued and the papers were not returned for scrutiny,\" says Alan.\nChristine Wright, the head of St Wilfrid's RC College in South Shields agrees that children were put off by questions on too steep a curve in the December round which she describes as \"a disaster\" but says the June series went better.\n\"Pupils came out more confident that they understood what the questions were asking but no results have been received and we are told they won't be available until October,\" she says.\nThe problem with single level tests, says Christine, is that they can destroy a child's confidence because if they fail to reach that level, they come out with nothing. Though she welcomes the flexibility to put children in for tests when the teachers think they are ready, they should cover more than one level, as at present, she says.\n\"Administratively the single level tests were a nightmare according to our very efficient examinations officer,\" she adds. \"The pilot is failing to make use of the sophisticated and efficient IT systems in schools.\"\nManaging a system of children of the same age taking tests at different levels at different times has been \"a bit of a nightmare,\" says Andrew Rannard, the assistant head of Notre Dame Catholic School in Liverpool, another secondary pilot school.\n\"It's problematic and difficult to timetable but I would rather ask the question and find out whether we can do it than not pose the question in the first place,\" he says.\nCan single level testing help children progress?\n\"It depends on how schools approach it. Some schools could be quite cynical and keep entering students for level tests until they pass but we have taken the view that we will rely on the professionalism of the teachers and enter pupils only when the teachers say they are comfortably at a level,\" says Andrew. \"We regard it as a confirmation of what the teachers say a child can do.\n\"The good news is that it gives us a choice of looking at each student and thinking 'is she prepared to take the test now or should we hold back?' Unfortunately it is not really on demand because pupils still have to sit them on the same date but two dates are better than one. My impression is that the DCSF is looking to increase it to termly.\"\nIf single level testing works it could feed into other changes in the curriculum, opening up possibilities for making judgements on individuals which lead to them being able to start work on GCSE early and to vertical groupings based on progress rather than age and year, he says.\nCotswold School in Gloucestershire would also like to see testing 'on demand' mean what it says, with teachers able to access the tests throughout the year.\n\"The idea of testing when ready has the potential to be more flexible,\" says Richard Thompson, deputy head of the school, which is taking part in the pilot. \"We are quite positive about what it could do but there is work to be done on the practicalities.\"\nThe ASCL survey of participating schools found support for when ready entry and relief that more than one date addressed the problem of pupil absence on test days. Some schools liked the way single levels could be used to fast track to GCSE; others said they didn't need national tests to help them decide which ones to accelerate.\nOne school liked the way the tests provided focus in year 8 and another said it was helpful that children in primary and secondary schools could sit the same papers. But some pronounced single levels worse than the present system and urged a move to national sampling. If the government wants to help teachers assess pupil progress, National Curriculum tests, multi or single level, are the wrong way of going about it, says John Fairhurst, the head of Shenfield High School and the chair of ASCL's Education Committee.\n\"Testing in this way is not an exact science. It's an abuse of the instrument to attempt to use a broad brush to paint a fine picture,\" he says.\nModern technology could be used to provide a bank of tests on functional skills which could form part of a portfolio of evidence of a child's level and progress overseen by chartered assessors, he says.\nSecretary of State Ed Balls appears to be committed to single level testing but conceded to The Times in August that though testing at 11 and 14 must contain an element of external validation, it might take the form of internal marking, validated externally. \"Nothing is being ruled out or in,\" he said.\nWith confidence in SATs at an all-time low, pressure is on the government to quickly to find an alternative. However, if single level tests are introduced before they have been properly tested and refined, schools could find that the assessment regime get worse before it improves.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1686, "token_count_with_eod": 1687, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Zitat von »David Weber«\n\nForge One\nRefuge System\n\n“I’m impressed, Admiral,” Sonja Hemphill said as she and Admiral Shannon Foraker stepped out of the lift car and walked down a short passageway. Foraker’s yeoman popped to attention as they entered the admiral’s outer office. She waved a casual hand at him, but he held the position and cut his eyes briefly sideways to his superior’s guest.\n\nThe pause in Foraker’s stride was barely perceptible, but then she cleared her throat.\n\n“At ease, Jean-Louis,” she said.\n\nHe dropped into something rather more like parade rest, and Hemphill stifled an inappropriate urge to giggle.\n\nHer own career was checkered with . . . occasional lapses in military punctilio. In her own case, she acknowledged, they usually had something to do with losing her temper with someone who seemed to have become part of the problem instead of the solution. She’d been forced to admit — indeed, she’d recognized at the time — that tantrums were often counterproductive, and she’d worked on her temper for decades. Really she had! And it helped that so many — not all, but many — of the causes she’d championed since King Roger had instituted Project Gram had paid off handsomely in the war against the People’s Republic. Partly, that was because people tended to argue with her less, which she’d discovered wasn’t always a good thing. More of it, though, she’d come to realize, was because she no longer had to prove herself to herself. The truth, she’d discovered, was that quite a lot of her more youthful anger had been directed at the fact that she hadn’t been certain she was on the right track, herself. She’d known exactly how badly the Star Kingdom needed some sort of technological equalizer against the stupendous People’s Republic. It had been her job to find one, and her anger had been directed as much at her own never-admitted uncertainty as it had been at the obstinacy of those arguing with her.\n\nThe treecat on her shoulder made a soft sound and patted her right cheek with a gentle true-hand, and her eyes softened.\n\nHunts Silently had assigned himself as her bodyguard when Sphinx’s treecat population decided it was time to provide the “two-legs” fighting to protect Sphinx and all the rest of the Star Empire’s planets against the enemies behind the Yawata Strike. That attack had massacred an entire treecat clan, and as the ’cats themselves had put it, they knew how to deal with “evildoers.” The telempathic treecats also knew about the way in which humans had been turned into programmed assassins, and their ability to sense the unwilling killers’ horror and panic when the programming took control made them the only defense against them anyone had yet discovered.\n\nQuite a lot of the Grand Alliance’s leadership, Sonja Hemphill among them, had acquired furry, adorable, highly intelligent, and very, very deadly protectors as a consequence of the ’cats decision. What she hadn’t fully appreciated was the speed with which Hunts Silently would become perhaps the closest friend she’d ever had. And she was pretty sure he’d had more than a little to do with her ability to understand the roots of the anger which had been so much a part of her for so long, too.\n\nShannon Foraker’s lapses in military formality, on the other hand, stemmed from very different causes. In certain key aspects of her life, Admiral Foraker was the most focused, intense individual Hemphill had ever met, herself included. Outside those key aspects, however, she often seemed to inhabit a different universe. Despite that — or because of it, perhaps — her staff and subordinates were utterly devoted to her. It was rather touching to see the determination of people like Senior Chief Jean-Louis Jackson to protect her against the sort of lapses in formality which might embarrass her in front of her no doubt supercilious, judgmental Manticoran guests.\n\nHemphill’s thoughts carried her through the hatch into Foraker’s inner office aboard Forge One, the oldest — and largest — of the four major spacestations orbiting the planet of Sanctuary. They’d just completed a guided tour of the enormous platform, and she’d been deeply impressed by what the Republic of Haven and the Sanctuarians had accomplished. Individually, Forge One and its three consorts were little more than a quarter as large as Manticore’s Hephaestus or Vulcan had once been, but the four of them together exceeded even Hephaestus’s solo output. In many ways, that was what Hemphill found most impressive about Project Bolthole, because Haven had managed to build that capacity — from scratch — with a substantially less capable tech base . . . and in only four decades.\n\nOf course, the woman whose office they’d just entered had spent the last several T-years working to make that tech base one hell of a lot more capable than she’d found it.\n\nForaker waved at the comfortable conversational area in one corner of the spacious compartment. The chairs, coffee table, and couch were arranged in a semicircle, facing a waterfall that poured down across a cascade of natural stone into an oval 3.5-meter pool. A flash of color caught Hemphill’s eye as a spectacularly striped and banded fish with long, feather-like fins — she wondered if the species was native to Haven or to Sanctuary — leapt briefly above the pool’s rippling surface.\n\n“Sit down, please . . . Baroness,” Foraker almost managed to conceal her grimace at having almost forgotten to add Hemphill’s aristocratic title, and the Manticoran chuckled. Foraker looked at her as they sat, and she shook her head.\n\n“Don’t worry about any ‘Baronesses’ or ‘Miladies,’ Admiral Foraker,” she said as Hunts Silently flowed down to curl in her lap. “They’re not necessary, and I don’t usually use my title back home, anyway.”\n\n“I suppose I really should, but I’ve been plain old ‘Sonja Hemphill’ for a lot of years. I don’t have time for much of a social life and I’m not that interested in politics, so I’ve never taken my seat in the Lords. I let one of my cousins sit there with my proxy.” She shrugged. “Besides, Low Delhi’s basically just a one percent arc of the Gorgon Belt in Manticore-B. That comes to about three-point-one quadrillion cubic kilometers, but those kilometers contain an awful lot of empty space. Mind you, some of the rocks floating around in it are pretty valuable, but I think its total population was nine hundred and twenty — or maybe it was twenty-one — the last time I looked. And most of my ‘subjects’ are asteroid miners who could give treecats stubborn lessons.” She gave another shrug, then smiled. “Besides, I think the two of us will be working closely enough it should probably be ‘Sonja’ and ‘Shannon,’ at least in private.”\n\n“Oh, good!” Foraker sighed, then looked contrite. “Sorry! That didn’t come out just the way I wanted. I suppose they warned you I’m not real good about the social stuff?”\n\n“I think you can assume the odd word or two of . . . caution was dropped into my ear,” Hemphill said wryly. “Should I assume the same sort of words were dropped into your ear about me?”\n\n“Actually, the word Admiral Lewis used in your case was ‘touchy,’ I think.” Foraker’s tone was even drier than Hemphill’s had been, and Hunts Silently laughed as the two of them sat back and smiled broadly at one another.\n\n“To quote a line from one of Duchess Harrington’s favorite ancient entertainment holovids, Shannon, ‘I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship,’” the Manticoran said.\n\n* * * * * * * * * *\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.. (jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nZitat von »David Weber«\n\n“— so from our analysts’ perspective, it looks to me like we’re in pretty good shape right now,” Sonja Hemphill said much later that night, sitting across the supper table from Foraker with an after-dinner glass of brandy in hand. “I doubt the Sollies fully appreciate the powered ranges our MDMs can reach — we’ve tried hard enough to keep them from figuring it out, at any rate — and I’m almost positive they can’t really appreciate the accuracy Apollo makes possible at those ranges. That doesn’t mean they don’t feel a desperate need to increase their own ranges, but until they can figure out how to build multiple impeller rings into the same missile body, they won’t be able to match our performance. And as far as we can tell — and we’ve had a really good look inside their current tech, thanks to Filareta — they’re only a little ahead of where we were twenty years ago, at First Yeltsin, on the grav-pulse coms.”\n\nForaker sipped from the cup of coffee in her own hand and nodded slowly. The two of them had spent the last several hours bringing one another up to speed — in general terms, at least — on Bolthole’s actual capacity and their separate R&D programs’ current projects.\n\n“That’s probably true,” she said now. “And given how long it took us to reverse-engineer the splitter technology even after we ‘acquired’ a few specimens to work from, I doubt they’ll figure it out next week. But I think everyone needs to remember the Solarian League has plenty of really capable scientists and engineers. And the fact that they already know we can do it will give their researchers an enormous leg up.”\n\n“Agreed. Agreed!” Hemphill nodded back, much more vigorously. “Our current estimate is that it ought to take them at least a couple of years — more probably three or four, bearing in mind that we’re pretty sure they haven’t ‘acquired’ any samples — but we’re well aware that it’s only a guesstimate. And that it might be overly optimistic. I think it’s going to take them a lot longer to match Apollo, though.”\n\n“Probably,” Foraker said again. “But I hope you won’t take this wrong way, but it’s always seemed to me that you Manticorans have a tendency to build in what one of my staffers calls ‘all the bells and whistles.’” She smiled wryly. “Mind you, if I had as many whistles and bells as you people do, I’d damned well build them in myself! But that hasn’t been the case for us, which is why Five gave me that a couple of years ago.”\n\nShe waved her cup at an old-fashioned frame on the bulkhead. It contained a quotation from “Anonymous,” and Hemphill had smiled as she read it earlier.\n\n“Perfect is the mortal enemy of good enough,” it said.\n\n“That’s what we had to bear in mind for years after the head start you people got on us,” Foraker said very seriously. “If we’d waited until we’d figured out how to duplicate everything you were doing to us, we’d never have gotten anything done. Not in time to do us any good, anyway.”\n\n“We haven’t exactly waited until we were convinced everything was ‘perfect’ before we committed it to action ourselves,” Hemphill pointed out.\n\n“No, I’m sure you haven’t. But my point is really looking from the perspective of the . . . technological underdog, let’s say. We couldn’t do the things you were doing the way you did them, so we had to figure out how to do what was ‘good enough’ to let us at least stay in shouting range. And I’d like to think that, every so often, we handed you a surprise or two of our own.”\n\n“Oh, you certainly did that!” Hemphill shook her head. “There were quite a few surprises along the way, like Moriarty and those ‘donkey’ missile pods of yours!”\n\n“Exactly.” Foraker set her cup down, folded her hands on the edge of the table, and leaned forward over them, her expression intent. “Exactly,” she repeated. “You had the technological edge, both in weapons already in the pipeline and in terms of your basic infrastructure. We had the edge in sheer numbers and size of infrastructure, but we were well behind you in terms of deployed technology and even further in terms of the educational system which might have let us recoup our disadvantage.\n\n“But the Solarian League is huge, even bigger in relative terms compared to the entire Grand Alliance than the People’s Republic was compared to the original Star Kingdom. It’s got the biggest, most broadly dispersed manufacturing infrastructure in the entire galaxy. Despite the situation on many of the Fringe and Verge planets — and a couple of the Core Worlds; let’s be honest here — it has a first-rate educational system. And outside its warfighting hardware, its applied tech is about as good as it gets. I think you people clearly have the edge in several critical areas, but outside FTL bandwidth, that edge is pretty damned thin, and I’m willing to bet there are areas in which they have the edge, if they just sit down, take a deep breath, and think about it. And when they do that, if they decide to settle for ‘good enough’ instead of holding out for ‘perfect’ . . . .”\n\n“If they do, God only knows what they’ll come up with as an equalizer,” Hemphill finished for her when she allowed her voice to trail away. The Manticoran admiral’s expression was grim as she recalled the Janacek Admiralty’s hubris . . . and what that had cost the Royal Manticoran Navy in dead ships and personnel.\n\n“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Shannon Foraker said quietly. “Given their performance to date, it’s tempting to think every Solly’s an idiot. But they aren’t, and if some of those not-idiots convince the Mandarins to listen to them, our current technological edge could disappear a lot sooner than anyone wants to think it could.\"\n\n**********************************************\n\nThe Golden Olive Restaurant\nCity of Old Chicago\nSol System\nSolarian League\n\n“So what do you think of Rajmund’s latest revelation?” Lupe Blanton asked as she and Weng Zhing-hwan finished punching their orders into the privacy-screened booth’s terminal. “From where I sit, if there’s really anything to it, we may need to rethink our position on who the Other Guys really are. Or if they exist at all, for that matter!”\n\n“First, let’s remember we’re talking about Rajmund,” Weng observed, pouring tea into her cup from the self-warming pot which had been waiting in their booth when they arrived. “That automatically means there’s an agenda behind it. You know that even better than I do, since you, unfortunately, have to work with him — or around him — on an ongoing basis. Second, we know damned well that all of his patrons — or the ones we’ve been able to identify, at least — have strong vested interests in ‘proving’ the Manties are behind anything that goes south in the Fringe. And, third, I don’t believe for one second that Oravil Barregos would be careless or stupid enough to be caught talking to the Manties — or anyone else — if he seriously contemplates anything of which your esteemed superiors might disapprove.”\n\n“A masterly summation.” Blanton smiled thinly. She sat back on her side of the table, playing with a fork, and, despite the smile, her eyes were dark. “What really worries me is that Adão doesn’t have any option but to take his reports seriously. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t trust the . . . disinterested impartiality of what Rajmund’s reporting any farther than I do, but there’s so much of it.”\n\n“And he’s upping the ante if he’s handing over genuine photos of Manticoran naval officers,” Weng agreed. “Especially if they turn out to be genuine Manticoran officers. And I’m assuming from Ukhtomskoy’s reaction that they did?”\n\n“Of course they did,” Blanton said. “Frankly, though, that worries me less than some other aspects of it. Imagery — especially bad imagery that has to be digitally enhanced as much as this did — is easy enough to fake. And there’s no telling who may have slipped file imagery of completely nonexistent Manticorans into Frontier Security’s databases for it to be compared to. I doubt Rajmund did it, because there’d be too much risk of that blowing up in his face if anyone starts fact-checking his reports. He’s been around the block way too many times to leave a trail of breadcrumbs that might lead back to him. But do either of us really think he’s the only mole someone like the Other Guys have in place?

Or Kolokoltsov and the rest of the Mandarins, for that matter. Do you think he really could be contemplating something?”\n\nWeng gazed down into her teacup for several seconds, lips pursed while she considered her response. Then she looked back up to meet Blanton’s gaze.\n\n“Last year,” she began, “Noritoshi had me send one of my most trusted people — Jerzy Scarlatti; he’s a major, I don’t think you know him — out to Maya.”\n\n“Officially, Jerzy was there to conduct an inspection of the local Gendarmerie Intelligence operations because he’d heard reports that the . . . complex relationship between Erewhon, Haven, and Manticore was spilling over onto Maya. Actually, we’d had reports that Barregos and/or Roszak were skimming — skimming more than usual, I mean — off all the contracts they’d been placing with Erewhon. And the reason I chose him was that he and Philip Allfrey, Barregos senior Gendarme, go back a long way. I figured Allfrey would be more likely to cooperate with a friend. And if he didn’t —if there was something going on and Allfrey was part of it —Jerzy knew him well enough he’d probably pick up on it.”\n\nBlanton nodded again. It was a given that any sector governor, and the vast majority of Frontier Fleet sector commanders, would find . . . extracurricular ways to line their pockets. In fact, that had been going on for so long the systematic graft was factored into their salaries. There were, however, limits to how blatant their superiors could permit them to be.\n\n“Anyway, Allfrey assured Jerzy there was no significant peculation going on. In fact, there was less than usual, and he showed Jerzy his own internal documentation to prove it. I’m pretty sure from what Jerzy said in his off-the-record report to me that he thinks Allfrey has a very comfortable relationship with Barregos, but his documentation checked out after the best analysis we could give it.\n\n“On the other hand, he was there during the Congo Incident.”\n\n“He was?” Blanton’s fingers stopped turning her fork over and over and her eyes narrowed.\n\nThe Congo Incident was the label the newsies had pinned on Admiral Luis Rozsak defense of the planet of Verdant Vista.\n\nThe League was officially ambivalent about Verdant Vista, known to its current occupants as Torch. The Congo System had never been claimed by the League, nor had it been an OFS protectorate system, so its original Mesan claimants had possessed no official League recourse to reclaim it when its population, backed by an astonishing united Manticoran-Havenite front, rebelled against their ownership in August 1919. Even if they’d tried to call on their many friendly Solarian bribe-takers, the fact that ninety-plus percent of the Verdant Vistans had been genetic slaves would have . . . complicated Solarian public opinion. Genetic slavery was something of which all “right-thinking” Solarians disapproved, even if only a tiny percentage were willing to get off their comfortable posteriors and do anything about it, so even Solarian bureaucrats had to be careful about anything that smacked of collusion with Manpower, Inc. On the other side of the ledger, the strong ties between the rebels, the new Torch government, and the Audubon Ballroom had allowed its detractors to suggest it would inevitably become a haven for terrorists. But that had been offset in turn by the Antislavery League’s vociferous agitation in favor of officially recognizing Torch as a haven and homeworld for any liberated genetic slave.\n\nOverall, it had seemed a situation tailor-made for the Solarian League to stay well clear of. Which had made Oravil Barregos’s decision, as the Maya Sector’s governor, to enter into a defensive agreement with Torch the cherry on top for some of Frontier Security’s policymakers here in Old Chicago.\n\nBut Barregos had strenuously, plausibly — and successfully — argued in favor of the agreement as a way to minimize Manticoran and Havenite influence in the system. Nothing could completely freeze them out, he’d acknowledged, especially since the Queen of Torch was the adopted daughter of the infamous Anton Zilwicki and even more infamous Catherine Montaigne. But given the fundamental tension between Manticore and Haven, the united front they’d presented at the time of the rebellion couldn’t last, and drawing the newly independent star system into the relationship he was currently cultivating with Erewhon would position the Maya Sector to step into the gap when it inevitably occurred. His prediction about the Manty-Havenite relationship’s stability had been proven correct barely two T-months later, when Haven resumed hostilities against Manticore, and judging by the Torches’ scrupulous official disavowal of the Ballroom’s terrorist tactics, his accompanying argument that he’d be better able to moderate Torch’s behavior through a policy of constructive engagement had seemed to make a lot of sense.\n\nBut then, the preceding October, after less than two T-years, Frontier Fleet had been forced to make good on that defensive agreement. Luis Roszak and his men and women had paid a heavy price to protect Torch against what certainly looked like an intended Eridani Edict violation financed by “parties unknown.” The actual culprits had been renegade members of the People’s Republic of Haven’s State Security, although no one had been prepared to explain exactly what their motives might have been and it was obvious that only a very well heeled patron could have provided the logistical support the attack had required. Their survivors had been handed over to Eloise Pritchart’s Republic for trial, so the League’s courts had taken no official cognizance of exactly who might have backed their effort, but there wasn’t much question in anyone’s mind, and public opinion had shed very few tears over anything that happened to Mesan proxies.\n\n“I wondered about the official accounts,” Blanton said now, her voice ending on a questioning note, and Weng snorted.\n\n“You’re not alone in that,” she said, “and I’ve actually discussed that a little bit with Daud in light of Jerzy’s reports. He — Daud, I mean, not Jerzy — was pretty bitter about the fact that no one higher up the chain of command had paid any attention to the reports he and Irene put together after it on the basis of Roszak’s after-action report.\n\n“He says Roszak’s been telling people for years that the Manties and Havenites were outstripping the Navy in terms of both weapons and technique, and nobody’s paid any damned attention. In fact, it turns out that for at least three T-years, Roszak’s reports were being suppressed before they ever got to Daud, much less went farther up the tree, and it looks like, in the absence of any direction from Old Chicago, the people on the ground have been trying to do something about it.\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

But it’s painfully evident that another reason Barregos’s done it is to get some kind of window into the new technologies. Erewhon’s only a minor power compared to Manticore or Haven, and its navy is outside the loop on these latest, god-awful weapons the Manties are deploying against us. But it’s pretty clear the investment in new hardware is the only reason Roszak was able to defend Torch, although his losses were still pretty damned brutal. More brutal, I think, then was ever officially announced, although Jerzy didn’t have any confirmation of that at the time and Daud hasn’t found any since. But what pisses Daud off is that he worked up an analysis that strongly recommended Vice Admiral Hoover and the Office of Technical Analysis go through Roszak’s reports with a fine-toothed comb. If they had, even they would probably have figured out the Haven Sector was producing exactly the sort of innovations Hoover’s analysts had systematically dismissed for decades. Nothing in them hinted at the missiles they used against Crandall and Filareta, but at least we might not have gone into this with such total complacency.”\n\nBlanton made a harsh sound of agreement, and Weng shrugged.\n\n“At any rate,” she went on, “Jerzy’s report officially cleared Barregos of any financial wrongdoing. After reading it and discussing it with him, I think it raised some fresh questions about just how tight he’s gotten with Erewhon, but not financially.”\n\n“Are you suggesting you're worried Maya might be . . . fertile ground for someone to plant seeds of disunity, whether it’s the Manties or the Other Guys?” Blanton asked in a careful tone, and Weng shrugged again.\n\n“I wouldn’t say I’ve been worrying about that,” she said. “Obviously, with the entire galaxy hell-bent on coming unglued, I’m not prepared to categorically rule it out, but Jerzy didn’t come home with anything that set off any alarms in that respect. My impression of Barregos — and I hasten to add that this is only my impression; he’s one of your people, not ours, and I don’t think anyone else in the Gendarmerie’s really thought about it that much — is that he’s the sort of fellow who considers all possibilities. He’s living in a dangerous neck of the woods, on the periphery of the longest lasting, most destructive war in galactic history — so far, at least — and I think he’s a historian. I think he saw the possibility of something like our confrontation with Manticore coming a long time ago, and I think his relationship with Erewhon’s designed to provide as close to a pocket of stability as he can create if all the rest of the galaxy goes to hell in a hand basket. How far he’s prepared to go to make that happen is an entirely different question, and I don’t have anything like enough information to offer an informed opinion on that.”\n\n“But it’s the sort of situation, assuming you’re right, that could make someone else regard him as either potentially susceptible to seduction or as someone who could be credibly passed off as being susceptible to seduction.”\n\n“Exactly. But if I am right, then he’s been doing this tap dance of his for a long time without anyone figuring it out. I admit Maya’s a long way from Sol, but that’s still an impressive accomplishment. From everything Jerzy had to say, he has a genuine knack for attracting personal loyalty, too. So does Admiral Roszak, apparently, and that can be a dangerous capability. Leaving that aside, though, someone able to keep so many balls in the air without anyone back home noticing would never be clumsy enough to let anyone, far less one of Rajmund’s people’s paid stringers, discover that he was meeting secretly with Manty representatives.”\n\n“You’re right about that,” Blanton said thoughtfully, beginning to play with her fork again. “Especially since he’d take particular precautions against anyone in Frontier Security finding out about it. I imagine he’d be a lot more worried about in-house leaks than about your people.”\n\n“You probably have a point.”\n\nWeng sipped tea. They sat in silence for twenty or thirty seconds, then she set the cup down and sat back.\n\n“I think we’d better find out about this,” she said. “And I can only think of one way to do that.”\n\n“Assuming there’s time,” Blanton pointed out, and Weng nodded. The travel time to Maya was fifty-one days, one way.\n\n“I know,” she said. “But I don’t see another option.”\n\n“Neither do I. Can’t be one of my people, though. Even at the best of times, I’d be poaching in Rajmund’s preserve. And these are hardly ‘the best of times.’ If we’re right about him, the last thing we need is to warn him anyone — especially me — might be looking in his direction. Send your Scarlatti back again?”\n\n“I don’t know,” Weng replied, answering Blanton’s professionally thoughtful tone. “On the one hand, I trust him and he was the one who first suggested Barregos’s relationship with Erewhon was closer than most people here in Old Chicago thought it was. He wouldn’t have done that if he’d been in Barregos’s pocket. On the other, he is Allfrey’s friend, and if Barregos is up to something, Jerzy didn’t get a clear sniff of it — or report it, anyway — the last time he was there. And,” she added, “coming up with a plausible reason to send him back again so soon without making someone as smooth as Barregos suspicious could be a nontrivial exercise.”\n\nBlanton’s expression showed her agreement with Weng’s thought train.\n\n“I’ve got at least a half-dozen other people I could send if I don’t send Jerzy back,” the colonel said with a shrug. “And if I need to, I’ll go to Noritoshi and get him to let me pick one of Simeon’s people from CID. Either way, I can get someone off to Smoking Frog within a couple of days, outside.”\n\n“The sooner the better,” Blanton said. “Even if she leaves tomorrow, it’s going to be mid-September by the time she gets there.”\n\n“And the soonest she could get back would be the end of November,” Weng agreed. “And that’s assuming someone’s stupid enough to leave that ‘smoking gun’ lying around for her to stumble over the instant she steps off the landing shuttle! Not going to happen.”\n\n“So we’re probably really looking at not hearing back before the new year.” Blanton’s expression was sour, and Weng snorted.\n\n“Any dinosaur’s nervous system has a certain amount of built-in delay,” she pointed out, and Blanton grimaced.\n\n“Under the circumstances, I wish you’d picked a different metaphor,” she said.\n\n“Why?”\n\n“Because the dinosaurs are extinct,” Blanton replied grimly.\n\nAUGUST 1922 POST DIASPORA\n\nSLNS Québec\nCachalot System\n\n“You can’t be serious!”\n\nThe woman on Vincent Capriotti’s com display was platinum-haired and dark-skinned. It was a striking combination, and she was so photogenic he suspected she’d been the recipient of quite a lot of biosculpt. Politicians, as a rule, found physical attractiveness a valuable asset — far more valuable, in fact, in Capriotti’s opinion, than simple competence. On the other hand, Cachalot System President Miriam Jahnke had amply demonstrated her own competence over a forty-T-year political career.\n\nAnd, at the moment, the fury blazing in her brown eyes honed her attractiveness in much the same way lightning honed a thunderstorm’s.\n\nOr a hurricane’s, perhaps.\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

Given that geometry, they would reach Orca orbit in another hour and forty minutes, and their recon platforms had been swarming around the inner system for the last couple of hours. ONI had grudgingly admitted that stealth systems were another area in which the Manties had somehow acquired a commanding lead, but nobody’s stealth was good enough to hide warships — even completely shut down warships — from the horde of drones he’d sent speeding ahead of his ships.\n\nWhich means there’s absolutely no reason I can’t carry out Buccaneer . . . damn it, he thought grimly. The odds are we’ll be the first task force to execute it, too, which means I’m the one going down in the frigging history books. I don’t think I’m going to like that.\n\nAt least it also meant there’d be no need — or any possible excuse — for Parthian. There’d be ample time for an orderly evacuation, and thank God for it!\n\nHe’d waited until he was positive that would be the case — and until the com lag was at least semi-manageable — before contacting Jahnke’s office and telling her why he was here. Her response had been pretty much what he’d anticipated.\n\n“You have no conceivable justification for this!” she snapped now from his display. “It’s a blatantly illegal action against an independent and neutral star system! It violates at least a half dozen interstellar treaties — treaties the Solarian League both negotiated and guaranteed — and every conceivable canon of interstellar law!”\n\nAll of which was absolutely true . . . and had nothing at all to do with his orders, Capriotti thought.\n\n“I’m very sorry you feel that way, Madame President,” he said. “And, speaking as an individual and not as an officer of the Solarian League Navy, I understand why you do. I deeply regret the orders I’ve been given, but I have no option but to carry them out, and I intend to do so. At the same time, my orders emphasize the vital importance of minimizing any possible avoidable loss of life.” Which was also true, as long as Parthian wasn’t on the table. “That’s why I’m speaking to you now to inform you that you have seventy-two hours to complete your evacuation of the infrastructure in question.”\n\nHe waited for his words to reach her, and saw her expression when they did. If she could have reached him in that moment, she would have ripped out his throat with her bare hands, he thought.\n\n“This system has maintained cordial and cooperative relations with the Solarian League since the year the League was created,” she told him flatly. “We have never, in all those centuries, been anything but your star nation’s friendly neighbor. And we certainly aren’t participants in any aggression against the League! We’re not Solarians, we aren’t Manticorans, and we’ve been scrupulously neutral. We don’t even have a navy, only a system police force! What you propose is not only blatantly illegal but an atrocity carried out against the life’s blood of my star system!”\n\nShe had an excellent point, he reflected. Not that he intended to admit that Cachalot’s lack of a navy was one of the main reasons he’d been sent here.\n\n“Madame President, I’m prepared to grant that you haven’t been military participants in the so-called Grand Alliance’s aggression against the Solarian League,” he said.\n\nHe knew he was speaking for the record, that this entire com exchange was probably going to wind up on the public boards throughout the League, and he forced himself to sound calm, measured, and — above all — reasonable. It was hard when what he actually felt was bitter shame. But he was a senior officer of the SLN and he had his orders.\n\n“Even though you may not have aided the Manticorans and their allies militarily, however,” he continued, “you’ve certainly aided and abetted them in other ways. As your government is well aware, Manticore began its campaign against the Solarian League by way of its blatantly illegal interference with freedom of astrogation and the Solarian economy. In effect, Manticore has weaponized interstellar commerce and directed it against the Solarian League because of my government’s refusal to simply stand aside and enable its raw, unbridled imperialism through our passivity. And, Madame President, your star system has transferred virtually the entirety of its own trade to Manticore and the other star nations who, by their own declaration, are now actively at war with the League. That’s hardly the action of an even-handed neutral, and my government has no option but to consider active collaboration with outlaw regimes which have killed hundreds of thousands of Solarian military personnel and citizens an act of aggression.”\n\nHe met Jahnke’s eyes steadily, even though both of them knew just how tenuous the connection between reality and what he’d just said truly was.\n\n“The Solarian League takes no pleasure in the destruction of property, and my government is well aware of the economic hardship this will create for the people of your star nation,” he went on in a tone of implacable regret, filling the transmission lag with the rest of the “talking points” with which the Navy and Foreign Affairs had seen fit to provide him. If he gave her the opportunity to respond, she’d probably point out that Manticore’s version of commerce warfare meant the Star Empire and its allies were the only people with whom Cachalot could trade at the moment, and his lords and masters could never have that as part of the official record, now could they?\n\n“However, it’s clear Manticore has embraced an imperialism which is as much economic as territorial. Not content with the commanding position it already enjoyed, it’s now set out to secure dictatorial control of the entire inhabited galaxy’s economic life. The Solarian League cannot — and will not — allow any star nation to acquire that sort of power, of control and coercion, over its star systems and their citizens. And, since it’s evident that raw aggression and economic domination are the only languages the ‘Star Empire’ understands, the League has no option but to respond to it in its own terms. Much as I may regret the mission which has brought me to your star system, your complicity in Manticore’s assault upon the Solarian League has left my government with no other alternative.\n\n“Again, I inform you that you have seventy-two hours in which to organize an evacuation of your orbital infrastructure. Obviously, I must also insist on the surrender of the armed units of your System Patrol. Vice Admiral Angelica Helland, my chief of staff, will be in contact with the System Patrol’s commanding officer to arrange that surrender in as peaceful and orderly a fashion as possible. I’m sure I’ve presented you with a great many unpleasant decisions and actions. Again, I regret the necessity of doing so, but I will leave you to deal with them. I will contact you again when my flagship enters Orca orbit. Capriotti, clear.”\n\nHe pressed the stud to kill his com and swiveled his chair to face Commodore Anthony, his staff communications officer.\n\n“Until I contact her again, I’m unavailable, Roger,” he said. Anthony’s eyebrows rose ever so slightly and it was obvious from his expression that he didn’t look forward to fending off Jahnke’s inevitable fiery demands to speak to Capriotti. But the commodore only nodded.\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

(jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nZitat von »David Weber«\n\nCapriotti returned the nod, then turned back to the master plot as Québec and the rest of the task force decelerated toward Orca. He watched the moving icons and wondered how much of his unavailability stemmed from the PR requirements and psychological warfare aspects of Buccaneer . . . and how much of it stemmed from shame. He remembered his words to Captain Timberlake in their first discussion of the ops order, and they were bitter on his tongue. This wasn’t the reason he’d joined the Navy, but if he had it to do, then he’d damned well do it.\n\n* * * * * * * * * *\n\n“We’re ready, Sir,” Lyang-tau Rutgers said quietly.\n\nCapriotti nodded without speaking. He stood with his hands clasped behind him, gazing into the flag bridge plot. It had been reconfigured for visual display, showing him a needle sharp vista of the planet Orca and the massive orbital infrastructure about it.\n\nCachalot had been settled for a long time, but it wasn’t the best real estate in the known galaxy. Despite the relative dimness of the system primary, whose luminosity was less than fourteen percent that of Sol, Orca’s close orbit — the planetary year was less than three T-months long — produced a mean temperature significantly higher than Old Terra’s. Its tropical zone was virtually uninhabited, and its axial inclination was only nine degrees, which meant it had minimal seasonal variation even outside the all but unendurable tropics. There were, however, almost five billion human beings in its temperate zones . . . and another three billion in its orbital habitats.\n\nThat was a lot of people to turn into implacable haters, he thought.\n\nAt least the Cachalotians had opted for a sharper segregation between their industrial platforms and their habitats than happened in most star systems. That had probably started, initially, because so many of them had opted for the habitats’ controlled climates in preference to the planet’s from the very beginning. That meant the inhabited neighborhood had grown up even before its industrial base really developed, and separating them had protected their orbital population from the sorts of industrial accidents that could have unfortunate consequences. It had to create commuting problems for a lot of their labor force, but they clearly thought it was worth it, and their building codes had officially enshrined the separation for several centuries now.\n\nOf course, they’d never seen an “industrial accident\" like Buccaneer coming.\n\nThey were still going to lose one orbital habitat — and the homes of over five million of their citizens — anyway. There simply wasn’t any way to demolish the Siesta Three platform’s industrial capability without taking out the entire habitat. Three more major habitats were going to take significant damage, but Rutgers’s demolition crews were confident the housing sections would survive unhurt.\n\nNot so confident that Jahnke — or me — was going to leave those people aboard when the charges go off. Capriotti snorted mentally. It’s a lot easier to be “confident” about somebody else’s homes, he thought harshly.\n\nEven without minor considerations like that, destroying the platforms in Orca orbit without creating catastrophic debris strikes on both the planet and the remaining habitats was a nontrivial exercise in its own right. The Snapper Belt platforms, better than fifty light-minutes from the primary, were a much simpler proposition. Snapper’s 644,000 inhabitants had simply been moved en masse to Orca’s surface and a dozen of Capriotti’s destroyers would take out the belt’s entire infrastructure with targeted missile launches. Closer to the planet, that was a nonstarter, however, and he considered the battlecruisers positioned around the first of Rutgers’s targets.\n\n“Very well, Lyang-tau,” he sighed finally. “Proceed.”\n\n“Yes, Sir.”\n\nCapriotti stayed where he was, watching the visual, as the battlecruisers brought up their impeller wedges. The three major platforms — two fabrication centers and one of Orca’s six primary freight platforms — remained clearly visible from Québec’s more distant orbit. The activated wedges completely enclosed them on three sides, however, cutting off direct visual observation from the planetary surface or any of Orca’s other near-planet habitats or spacestations.\n\nThe nuclear charges detonated simultaneously, in bursts of brilliance which hurt the eye. That had to be purely psychosomatic, Capriotti thought, even as he blinked against the brightness. The display automatically filtered their intensity more rapidly than mere organic nerves could respond to it, after all. Maybe it was just that he knew what they must have looked like to the unshielded eye.\n\nNot even a nuclear blast could completely vaporize several billion tons of spacestation. That was why he’d placed his battlecruisers’ impeller wedges to intercept any debris. They’d hold their stations until he was positive nothing could get through to Orca or any of the other platforms. Then they’d move on to the next targets on their list.\n\nHe stood for another fifteen seconds, gazing at the spot where the next best thing to two millennia of investment — and the livelihoods of 1.7 million people — had just been wiped from the cosmos. Then he drew a deep breath and looked over his shoulder at his staff.\n\n“Keep me informed, especially about any debris fields,” he said. “I’ll be in my quarters.”\n\nHillary Indrakashi Enkateshwara Tower\nCity of Old Chicago\nSol System\nSolarian League\n\n“This is the reason Irene and I needed someone like you, Natsuko,” Daud al-Fanudahi said in a tone of profound satisfaction. “We wouldn’t have had a clue how to find something like this!”\n\n“Well, don’t go assuming we’ve really found what we all think we’ve found,” Lieutenant Colonel Okiku replied. Al-Fanudahi stood looking over her shoulder as she sat at one of the desks in the office which had become their private HQ. Now she waved one hand at the display in front of her. “We’ve got plenty of evidence of corruption on all these people, but God knows there’s always corruption — tons of it — here in Sol. So it’s still entirely possible we’re seeing connections that don’t exist. Or connections that do exist but aren’t the ones we think they are, at any rate.”\n\n“Understood. “Al-Fanudahi nodded. “Same thing happens on our side of the shop. One of the things that’s hardest to avoid — and one of the things that’s biting the Navy on the butt right now, for that matter – is mirror-imaging. Interpreting what the other fellow’s doing through the lens of how you’d do it. If their operating assumptions are different, their decisions and actions are going to be different, too, and it’s hard to check your own fundamental concepts at the door.”\n\n“There are some similarities with that,” Okiku acknowledged. “It’s a little bit different, from a cop’s perspective, though. It’s not so much our fundamental ‘operational concepts’ as it is our effort to assess someone else’s motivations when we can’t just open a window and peek inside their heads. We know a lot about what these people are doing now; what we have to be careful about is assuming we know why they’re doing it.”\n\n“And who they’re doing it for,” Bryce Tarkovsky put in sourly. Al-Fanudahi looked at him, and the tall Marine, another charter member of the group Okiku had dubbed the Ghost Hunters, shrugged. “Like Natsuko says, there’s so much normal garden-variety corruption that demonstrating exactly who’s paying off whom and for what is the kind of challenge that would make Sisyphus weep.”\n\nAl-Fanudahi grinned and shook his head. Tarkovsky delighted in dredging up obscure references to ancient Old Earth legends. Partly that was because he genuinely loved them and had spent years studying them. But al-Fanudahi suspected his interest had begun as a deliberate response to the stereotypical view of Marines.\n\nPersonally, al-Fanudahi had never believed the stereotype.

And don’t forget we have to be able to demonstrate whatever we finally do find well enough to convince him someone else, not just to our own satisfaction. Someone who won’t want to be convinced the way we do.”\n\n“And someone who’ll quite possibly have his own reasons to not want any rocks turned over even if he thinks we may be onto something.

They still didn’t know exactly what he had them looking for, although there was no way to keep his personal cybernauts from speculating — probably with a high degree of accuracy — about what he was after.\n\nAs the correlations began to pile up, Gaddis had opened an official investigation into corruption within the Gendarmerie and wherever it might lead in the federal government generally. It wasn’t the first time he’d gone a round or two with that Goliath, so no one was especially surprised by it. Cynically amused by its futility, perhaps, but not surprised.\n\nUnder cover of that investigation, however, he’d directed a small army of Gendarmes into the investigation without giving them the slightest hint of what they were really looking for, and the Outcasts had tapped into the flood of information that army had turned up. Armed with all that data, their accomplishments dwarfed anything al-Fanudahi and Irene Teague might have conceivably achieved on their own.\n\nTo date, the Ghost Hunters had identified almost a dozen individuals — exclusive of Rajmund Nyhus — who they strongly suspected were tools of what Lupe Blanton had christened “the Other Guys.” They were certain Nyhus belonged on the list, but so far, they’d been unable to tie him to anyone else. Which had led both Blanton and Weng Zhing-hwan to fundamentally reassess their estimate of Nyhus’s intelligence. Or, more specifically, their estimate of his lack thereof.\n\nThey’d had better luck in a few other cases, however, and he reached over Okiku’s shoulder to indicate one of the names on her list.\n\n“I think we need to be taking an even closer look at this one,” he said, and she tapped the name to open the database associated with it.\n\n“Ms. Bolton,” she murmured. “I can see why you’re interested in her, Daud. What did you have in mind?”\n\n“Well,” he said, “we’ve linked her to two of the other people on our list. If there’s anything to the Outcasts’ suggestion that she’s also linked to Laughton, we need to nail that down. For more than one reason.”\n\nTarkovsky had straightened in his chair at the sound of Bolton’s name. Now he stood and walked around to join al-Fanudahi, and his expression was unhappy.\n\n“I don’t disagree with you,” he said. “I wish I could, but I don’t.”\n\nAl-Fanudahi rested one hand lightly on the Marine’s shoulder, but Okiku only shook her head. Probably because she was a cop at heart, the captain thought. She drew a sharp line between good guys and bad guys, and anyone who found himself on the wrong side of that line was a target to be taken down as expeditiously and completely as possible. The way she saw it, if someone she’d thought was a friend turned out to be a bad guy, then he’d never been quite as much a friend as the colonel had thought he was.\n\nIntellectually, al-Fanudahi agreed with her, and he knew Tarkovsky did, too, but Colonel Timothy Laughton had been Bryce Tarkovsky’s colleague and personal friend for over fifteen T-years. In fact, he’d been on Tarkovsky’s short list of potential recruits to the cause . . . until the Outcasts turned up his connection — his possible connection — to Shafiqa Bolton. There was no doubt that Laughton was “in a relationship” with Bolton, although the precise nature of that relationship had yet to be defined. It appeared to be purely social and not terribly close, but the number of peripheral and “coincidental” contacts between them was . . . statistically improbable.\n\nAnd the Outcasts’ algorithms insisted that Shafiqa Bolton was definitely linked to two other individuals — a Navy captain and a diplomat — they were almost certain were working for the Other Guys.\n\n“I have to say she’s got the classic earmarks of a handler,” Okiku said after a moment as she scrolled through the database. “I might be less suspicious if her contacts with both Nye and Salazar hadn’t spiked the way they have. There’s no social or business reason for her to be 'running into’ the two of them as much as she has, and the frequency of contacts is still trending upward.”\n\n“That’s a little thin, Natsuko.” Tarkovsky wasn’t arguing so much as playing devil’s advocate, al-Fanudahi thought.\n\n“That’s how these things work, Bryce,” she said. “You pick at it until you find a thread you can unravel, and it’s usually something small that starts the process. But look at this.” She highlighted a section of the data. “Over the last two T-years, the frequency of her contacts with Nye’s gone up almost eighteen percent, and most of that increase’s occurred since Byng got himself blown away at New Tuscany last October. In fact, over half of it’s occurred in the last six months. But his transactions are actually down seven percent over that same time period.”\n\nTarkovsky nodded. Bolton, one of the senior partners of Nuñez, Poldak, Bolton, and Hwang, was a financial advisor, and a very good one, judging by her client list and their success rates. Stephanos Nye, a senior policy analyst in Innokentiy Kolokoltsov’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was one of those clients, but he’d never been a heavy investor. He had lucrative arrangements with several well-heeled lobbyists, and his bank balance was more than comfortable, but he’d always tended to splash around in the shallows of the waters Bolton routinely navigated. Statistically, she spent a disproportionate amount of her time with such a relatively modest player. She always had, actually, although the disproportion had been far smaller up until about the time Haven resumed hostilities with Manticore. If there’d been some sort of personal relationship between them, the uptick probably wouldn’t have been noticeable at all, but outside their meetings to discuss possible financial opportunities, they had no relationship the Outcasts could discover.\n\nOnly the closest scrutiny could have picked that discrepancy out of the hundreds of clients with whom Bolton met on a regular or semiregular basis, but it was definitely there. Whether it was truly significant was another matter, but the fact that Nye’s policy positions had steadily hardened against Manticore almost in tandem with Rajmund Nyhus’s reports to Ukhtomskoy suggested that it was.\n\nThen there was Captain Mardyola Salazar, one of Fleet Admiral Evangeline Bernard’s staffers in the Office of Strategy and Planning. She had no business relationship with Bolton at all and her work schedule at S&P had become steeply more demanding as the confrontation with Manticore progressed from simply adversarial to disastrous. Despite the way that cut into her personal free time, however, she and Bolton kept ‘running into’ one another in social settings. The uptick there was almost twenty-three percent in just the past two months, and al-Fanudahi’s sources indicated Salazar had been one of the lead planners for Operation Buccaneer. Of course, he wasn’t supposed to know Buccaneer even existed, far less who’d been tasked with putting it together, but he was in intelligence, and recent events had pretty thoroughly validated warnings he’d issued over the years about events in the Haven Sector. As a result, the people at Strategy and Planning were actually talking to him these days. How much attention they paid him was debatable, but at least they were asking questions. The nature of those questions had enabled him to piece together a depressingly good picture of the thinking — such as it was — behind Buccaneer, and it was evident Salazar’s contributions had strongly shaped the operations plan. In fact, she’d been an early — if not simply the earliest — proponent of the Parthian Option.\n\nAnd then there was Timothy Laughton, the question mark of the moment.\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.. (jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nZitat von »David Weber«\n\nLike Bryce Tarkovsky, he worked for Brigadier Meindert Osterhaut, the CO of Marine Intelligence under Admiral Karl-Heinz Thimár’s nominal command as part of the Office of Naval Intelligence. He’d spent twelve T-years seconded to Frontier Security, during which he’d acquired a deep familiarity with the complexities of the Protectorates and the Fringe in general, and Osterhaut had come to rely on that familiarity. He was smart, hard-working, and insightful. He also played one hell of a poker game, as Tarkovsky had learned the hard way. Aside from an occasional — and profitable — foray at the poker table, however, he’d always been a bit . . . standoffish. He and Tarkovsky liked one another and had considered each other friends for a long time, but they’d never built the sort of close relationship Tarkovsky and al-Fanudahi enjoyed.\n\nWhich might turn out to have been fortunate, under the circumstances. Because, like Salazar, Laughton had been “bumping into” Bolton quite a bit recently. And unlike Salazar, he’d had no contact at all with her prior to about ten T-months ago . . . which was about the time his analysis of events in the Fringe — not simply in the Talbott Quadrant but much more broadly — had begun suggesting an increasingly militant and expansionist attitude on Manticore’s part.\n\nUnder the circumstances, inviting him to become another Ghost Hunter might have had negative consequences for all concerned.\n\n“The Outcasts can’t get a lot closer to Bolton, Daud,” Okiku said now. “They’re still digging into her financials, and they’re bird dogging all of her electronic communications to us. Anybody as smart as these people isn’t going to do a lot electronically, though. If she’s what we think she is, that’s the reason she’s meeting with people personally. So unless we want to go hands-on, we’re not likely to get beyond the suggestive stage. Mind you, Simeon and I would both be confident enough to ask for warrants on the basis of what we’ve already got, except that we can’t ask for warrants without going public with what we suspect.”\n\n“What do you mean by ‘hands-on’?” Al-Fanudahi asked.\n\n“One possibility’s to feed at least one of these people something we figure the Other Guys are going to want or that they think they could use. Then we see if they go running to Bolton. If they do, and if the Other Guys act on whatever we gave them, then I think we’ve proved there’s a direct link.”\n\n“If we’re talking about some kind of vast interstellar conspiracy, that’d take a lot of time we may not have,” al-Fanudahi pointed out. “Our suspect would have to get the information to Bolton, and then Bolton would have to get it to her superiors — through whatever chain of communications they use — and her superiors would have to act on it and then send their new orders back down the same chain. I don’t think we’ve got that kind of time. And even if we did, God only knows how many more people would get killed while we waited!”\n\n“Okiku said that was ‘one possibility,’ Daud,” Tarkovsky pointed out. “I’m not sure it’s the one she actually had in mind, though.”\n\nSomething about his tone made al-Fanudahi look at him sharply, and the Marine gave him a crooked smile. Then he looked down as Okiku looked up over her shoulder.\n\n“You were thinking about something a little more . . . proactive, weren’t you?” he asked.\n\n“Well,” she replied, “you’re right about how badly time constraints would work against the planted information approach, Daud. If the Navy’s really going ahead with Buccaneer, it’s the kind of escalation that’s likely to provoke a painful response from the Manties. The kind of response that gets a lot of people killed. And even if that weren’t the case, just think about how much damage Buccaneer’s going to do — physical damage, I mean, much less the way it’s likely to poison public opinion in the Verge and Fringe against the League for decades to come.\n\n“If we’re going to accomplish anything inside that time loop, it may be time for some of that proactiveness Bryce is talking about.”\n\n“How?”\n\n“One possibility is to take his original suggestion, grab one of these people — like Bolton, maybe — and sweat them. It has the drawback that without a warrant, it’s strictly illegal and morally questionable. And if it turns out we’re wrong about whoever we grab, we end up facing what you might call a quandary. Do we assume we’re wrong about everything and turn her loose with apologies, or do we assume we were wrong about her — not about the Other Guys in general — in which case we can’t turn her loose. Which means we have to do . . . something else with her.”\n\nAl-Fanudahi’s jaw tightened, but he had to respect her willingness to face the implications, and he nodded in unhappy understanding.\n\n“And another possibility is for us to present a threat they have to honor. Something to make them react in a short timeframe. Something we can see and track.”\n\nAl-Fanudahi’s nostrils flared.\n\n“You mean present them with someone they’d see as a threat,” he said, his tone flat.\n\n“That may be our only option, Daud,” Tarkovsky said. “There’s only so far we can go without either directly questioning a suspect or trying to manipulate one of them into giving himself away. If you can think of another way to do that, I’m all ears. But if you can’t . . . .”\n\nHis voice trailed off and he shrugged.\n\nHarrington House\nCity of Landing\nPlanet of Manticore\nManticore Binary System System\n\n“Honor!”\n\nDoctor Allison Harrington’s smile was huge as Duchess and Steadholder Harrington entered the Harrington House foyer with Spencer Hawke and Clifford McGraw at her heels. Corporal Anastasia Yanakov, Allison’s personal armswoman, nodded respectfully to Major Hawke and then smiled as she watched Allison throw her arms about her daughter. Honor Alexander-Harrington hugged her back, fighting the reflex urge to bend at the knees so she didn’t tower over her diminutive mother quite so badly. She’d managed to break that habit about the time she turned sixteen, but the reflex still asserted itself from time to time.\n\nEspecially when her mother was pregnant.\n\n“Mother,” she replied a bit more sedately, then stood back with her hands on Allison’s shoulders. “There have been some changes I see,” she added, looking down at her mother’s abdomen. “You could have mentioned something about this, oh, a month or so ago.”\n\n“I suppose I could have.” Allison smiled up at her. “On the other hand, dear, while I wouldn’t want to call you unobservant, or anything of the sort, it did seem to me that giving you the opportunity to . . . improve the acuity with which you view the universe might not be out of order.”\n\n“I see.” Honor shook her head as Corporal Yanakov smiled and Major Hawke and Sargent McGraw found somewhere else to look. “We do seem to have these little moments without proper warning, though, don’t we?”\n\n“At least in my case I knew I could get pregnant,” Allison observed with a devilish smile, watching Hawke and McGraw from the corner of one eye. Then her expression sobered. “Although, to be honest, I had to think long and hard about deactivating my implant.” Her lips trembled ever so slightly. “It was hard for your father. For me, too, I guess. But losing that many people we loved . . . .” She shook her head, the eyes which matched Honor’s dark. “It was almost like we couldn’t decide whether we were reaffirming that life went on, creating the additional child we’d discovered we wanted — especially after Faith and James were born — or trying to replace the ones we loved. It was that last bit that made it hard. It felt almost disloyal somehow. In the end, though, we just said the hell with any philosophical questions.”\n\n“And I’m glad you did.” Honor hugged her close again. “To be honest, if I had the time, I think Hamish, Emily, and I would be doing exactly the same thing. For all the reasons you just listed, really. And why shouldn’t we?” Her embrace tightened for a moment. “Life does go on, we do want more kids, and we are creating more people to put into the holes in our hearts. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see an uptick in births all across the system, but especially on Sphinx.” She released her mother and smiled sadly. “It’s one of the things that happen in wars.”\n\n“Well, on that topic,” Allison said in a brighter tone, “I happen to think it’s time you provided me with additional grandchildren. Not that Raoul and Katherine aren’t perfectly satisfactory, you understand. There’s a certain security in numbers, though. And while I realize you’re busy at the moment, Emily’s available.”\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

(jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nZitat von »David Weber«\n\n“Mother, you’re incorrigible!” Honor laughed and shook her head. “And, to be honest, I think Emily may be thinking in that direction, too.” Her smile turned warm. “Hamish and I will never be able to thank you enough for getting her past that particular block.”\n\n“Even if I was pushy, insufferable, and meddlesome?”\n\n“No! Were you really?” Honor gazed at her in astonishment. “I didn’t realize. I thought you were just being your normal self.” She paused a beat. “Oh! That’s what you meant, wasn’t it?”\n\n“It’s really a pity I never believed in corporal punishment,” Allison observed, then grinned as her daughter giggled.\n\n“Mother, I wouldn’t change you even if I could,” Honor said then. “Which, thank God, nobody in the universe would be capable of, in the first place.”\n\nNimitz bleeked in amusement and nodded his head in emphatic agreement with that statement.\n\n“Well, I certainly hope not,” Allison said serenely, tucking her daughter’s hand into her elbow and leading the way towards the private family section of Harrington House. Their bodyguards fell in astern, like escorting destroyers.\n\n“And thank you for letting us use the house tonight,” Allison continued as they started up the magnificent winding staircase. “We really appreciate it.”\n\n“Mother, this is your and Dad’s house now, a lot more than it’s mine. I believe I’ve told you that no more than, oh, five or six thousand times. It’s got more rooms than most hotels, and as long as Hamish, Emily, and I have a modest little six or seven-room suite in which to hang our berets, I think we can consider our housing needs adequately met whenever two or three of us happen to be in Landing at the same time. Which, unfortunately, isn’t happening all that often just now.”\n\n“I understand that. No, really — I do!” Allison waved her free hand as Honor bent a skeptical eye upon her. “But it’s also Steadholder Harrington’s official residence and Harrington Steading’s embassy in the Star Empire. Under the circumstances, I don’t think we should be throwing any drunken orgies without clearing it with you first.”\n\n“Your very own drunken orgy? How exciting! Are Hamish and I invited?”\n\nSomething very like a smothered chuckle escaped one of the Graysons behind her.\n\n“No, dear.” Allison patted her hand. “The drunken orgy is private, after the party. I was only using it as an example.”\n\n“Darn. And I was so looking forward to it.”\n\n“I see Hamish and Emily have been good for the Beowulf side of you,” Allison said, and Nimitz laughed again, then raised his right hand — middle fingers closed to spell the letter “S” — and nodded it up and down in agreement.\n\nMusic drifted from the quintet of live musicians in the corner of the ballroom. The night was warm and clear, so the crystoplast wall had been retracted, extending the ballroom out across the terrace and increasing its normal six hundred square meters of floor space by a third. For the present, that additional floorspace was unavailable for dancing, however. Instead, spotless white table cloths fluttered on the land breeze blowing outward across Jason Bay while the Harrington House staff, augmented for the evening, prepared to serve supper.\n\nNor was anyone dancing in the ballroom itself, despite its size, the splendor of its brilliantly polished marble floor, and the invitation of the music. Possibly because the music in question was a bit odd by Manticoran standards. Allison and Alfred Harrington had fallen in love with classical Grayson music during their time on Grayson, but the planet’s ancient dancing traditions, which centered on something called the “square dance,” weren’t familiar to most Manticorans. The lack of dancers was subject to change, however, and Honor suspected that it would after dinner.\n\nAt the moment, she stood between Hamish and Emily Alexander-Harrington’s life support chair, gazing out across the bay.\n\n“Honor, I’d like you to meet someone,” a voice said, and she turned as her father — one of the few people present who was actually taller than she was — walked up behind her.\n\nSince Harrington House was technically Grayson soil, and Honor tended to dress in her persona as Steadholder Harrington whenever she was officially “home,” she wasn’t in uniform tonight. But her father, for the first time since her childhood, was. Rather than the four golden pips of his pre-retirement rank, however, his collar bore two gold planets. A single broad gold band had been added to the three bands of a commander, and the unit patch on his left shoulder showed the Rod of Asclepius under the word “Bassingford.” In the newly reactivated Commodore Harrington’s case, both the staff itself and the single serpent were embroidered in gold rather than the silver of other Bassingford Medical Center shoulder flashes.\n\nWhich was rather the point of this evening’s festivities, she reflected. Her father hadn’t simply gone back onto active duty. Effective tomorrow, he was Bassingford’s one hundred and third commanding officer. Officially, that was because he’d been recalled by the Navy, and that was fair enough, because the Navy had wanted him back at Bassingford virtually from the day he retired and resigned his post as Head of Neurosurgery. In reality, though, it was the Yawata Strike which had returned him to active duty. He’d needed a few months to make up his mind. The process had begun shortly after the strike, but it had taken the Battle of Spindle and — especially — “Operation Raging Justice” to complete it. One thing was sadly obvious; if the Mandarins persisted in their current policies, Bassingford would need far more beds . . . most of which would be filled by Solarians. Alfred Harrington needed to be part of dealing with all those broken bodies and lives. That was what had finally pushed him back into uniform.\n\nThat and the need to do something healing rather than succumb to the part of him which had once been Sergeant Harrington, Royal Manticoran Marine Corps.\n\nNow he smiled at his daughter, indicating the much shorter woman —no more than fifteen or sixteen centimeters taller than Allison Harrington — at his side. She had dark hair, ten or twelve centimeters longer than Honor had once worn her own, dark eyes, and a lively, mobile face. She, too, was in uniform with the Bassingford shoulder flash, although in her case, only the staff of the rod was in gold.\n\n“Sara Kate!” Honor smiled broadly and enveloped the shorter woman in a hug.\n\n“Ah, should I assume my introduction was a bit . . . superfluous?” her father asked after a moment while Hamish and Emily chuckled.\n\n“Daddy, I’ve known Sara Kate for — what? Thirty T-years, Sara Kate?”\n\n“I’m afraid it really has been about that long,” Captain Lessem replied with a smile. “It’s good to see you again, though. It’s been too long!”\n\n“I’m sorry I missed the wedding,” Honor said, shaking her head. “I was . . . occupied at the time.”\n\n“You mean you were off blowing things up again,” Captain Lessem observed.\n\n“Well, yes, I suppose.” Honor smiled. “And how do you like being a respectable married woman?”\n\n“Honor, it’s been three T-years now. How do you expect me to remember what it was like before? And speaking of respectable married women —?” Captain Lessem raised her eyebrows in Hamish and Emily’s direction, and Honor chuckled.\n\n“Mom and Dad really did teach me better manners than that,” she said. “Sara Kate, this is my husband, Hamish Alexander-Harrington, and this is my wife, Emily Alexander-Harrington. Both of them have long, tiresome lists of titles we’ll leave to one side right now. Hamish, Emily, this is Sara Kate Lessem. I first met her when she was Sara Kate Tillman.”\n\n“They have long tiresome lists of titles?” Captain Lessem shook her head, then shook hands with both of Honor’s spouses.\n\n“At least half of which come from our association with her,” Emily told her with a smile. “May I ask how you and Honor come to know one another?”\n\n“Uncle Jacques introduced us,” Honor replied before Lessem could, and it was her father’s eyebrows turn to rise.\n\n“Jacques introduced you?” he said. “Wait a minute. Would this have anything to do with those anachronisms of his?”\n\n“Of course it does. Sara Kate’s another member of the Society. Her particular interest is in what they called ballroom dancing from the last couple of centuries Ante Diaspora. It’s not what most people do today. Actually, I like it a lot better. So, Sara Kate, you’re at Bassingford these days?”\n\n“And I’ve had a lot more patients than I’d like since that business with Filareta.” Lessem’s expression was much less cheerful than it had been. “They may all be Sollies, but a broken body’s still a broken body.”\n\n“I know,” Honor sighed. “And I hate it. If I could’ve avoided it —”\n\n“If you could have avoided it, we’d be calling you God and lighting candles to you,” Lessem interrupted. “And if it had occurred to me that you were going to go off on a guilt trip, I never would’ve opened my mouth about it, either.”\n\n“Oh, I like you, Captain Lessem!” Emily said enthusiastically. “Please! Kick her again!”\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.. (jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nHe smiled and offered her his arm while Honor took Emily’s hand and the four of them headed for the head table. Alfred looked around until he located Allison. As usual, she was at the center of a cluster of admirers — most of them male — and he headed across to rescue her and escort her to the same table.\n\nShe smiled happily as he swooped down upon her, ruthlessly exploiting his position as both husband and guest of honor, since the evening was the official announcement of his return to duty, and she tucked her hand into his elbow and squeezed gratefully as he led her away.\n\n“I don’t know what you were thinking to leave me exposed that way.” Her tone was teasing, but there was an edge of seriousness to it. “My God, Alfred! You didn’t tell me we were inviting George Brockman!” She shuddered. “That man doesn’t have the faintest concept of what ‘monogamy’ means.”\n\n“And if I’d thought for a moment that you weren’t perfectly capable of cutting him off at the knees — or at any other appropriate point on his anatomy —I’d have been there in an instant,” her husband assured her, and looked down at her with a faint twinkle. “Tell me with a straight face that you didn’t enjoy doing exactly that when — as I’m sure happened — he gave you the chance?”\n\n“You may be able to throw me heartlessly to the wolves, but you can’t make me lie!” She lifted her nose with an audible sniff, then smiled wickedly. “I’m pretty sure the bleeding will stop in another hour or so.”\n\n“Good for you!” Alfred laughed. “And while we’re talking about social lapses, were you aware Honor and Sara Kate Lessem — and Jacques, now that I think about it — all know one another?”\n\n“Of course I was.” She looked up at him again with a devilish smile. “Dear me. Did I forget to mention that to you?”\n\n“Out of consideration for your delicate condition, I will defer the proper response to that.”\n\n“Oh, no, you won’t!” she told him pertly. “I’ve already had the peach preserves sent to our room.”\n\n“It’s good to see him laughing again,” Emily Alexander-Harrington said quietly as her mother and father-in-law headed towards the table.\n\n“Agreed,” Honor said, equally quietly. “And I think —“\n\nShe paused for a moment, then shook her head.\n\n“You think what?” Emily pressed.\n\n“Oh, it was just a passing thought.” Honor shook her head again, her expression sobering. “We’re all having a few of those at the moment, I think.”\n\n“Yes, we are,” Emily agreed, but she gazed at Honor speculatively, and Honor made herself look back with tranquil eyes as she tasted the curiosity in Emily’s mind-glow. She also didn’t mention what had spawned that “passing thought.”\n\n“Tell me, have you given any more thought to a brother or sister for Katherine and Raoul?” she asked instead.\n\n“I have.” Emily nodded, although the question seemed to have sharpened the focus of that speculation Honor had tasted. “In fact, I have an appointment to discuss it with Dr. Illescue at Briarwood tomorrow afternoon, before I go back to White Haven.”\n\n“Oh, good!” Honor beamed at her, bending over her chair to envelop her in a gentle hug. “I’m thinking about doing the same thing. Maybe this time we can time it even closer!”\n\n“There’s only a month or so between the two we have, dear,” Emily pointed out drily. “What? You want to synchronise the deliveries to the same minute?”\n\n“Well, if neither one of us is going to be in a position to do it the old fashioned way, we might as well take advantage of the opportunities we do have. Besides —” she straightened with a devilish smile “— twins do is Mesa run in Mom’s family, you know!”\n\nEmily laughed, and Honor’s smile turned more gentle. But then she straightened and looked at Hamish across Emily’s head. She swivelled her eyes to one side, to where Sandra Thurston, Emily’s nurse and constant companion, stood chatting with James MacGuiness while he kept an eagle eye on the evening’s festivities. Her gaze came back to Hamish, and he shrugged ever so slightly, letting an edge of worry show in his own blue eyes.\n\nHer mouth tightened as she put that together with the undertone she’d tasted in Emily’s mind-glow, but then she drew a deep breath. She wasn’t going to borrow any trouble, she told herself firmly. Not tonight. And not when all three of them had so much to be grateful for, including —\n\n“You’re right about how good it is to see Daddy laughing again,” she said, looking back down at Emily and squeezing her good hand gently, then looked at Captain Lessem. “I think it’s going to be good for him to get back to work, too.”\n\n“Well, I can tell you the entire staff’s damned glad we’ve gotten him back to work,” Lessem said frankly. “Lord knows we need him as a surgeon, but we need him even more on the administrative side.” She shook her head. “I wasn’t joking about how many patients we’re going to have, Honor. It’s bad already, and if those idiots in Old Chicago don’t get their heads out of —” She paused, then grimaced. “Out of the sand, it’s going to get a lot worse.”\n\n“I know. And we’re trying to hold it to a minimum,” Honor said, easing Nimitz off her shoulder to join Samantha in the double highchair between her and Hamish. “And speaking of trying to keep things to minimums, where’s Martin right now?”\n\n“I suppose, given your august connections I can tell you,” Lessem said, smiling crookedly at Hamish. “At the moment, he’s got a task group with Vice Admiral Correia. I don’t know exactly where they were headed, but I know it’s part of Lacoön Two.”\n\n“Blame it on my misspent youth,” Lessem replied with a chuckle. “That and the fact that my mother knew Honor’s Uncle Jacques when they were college students. He got her involved with the Society for Creative Anachronisms, and she’s a physical therapist, too. Dance is sort of a natural connection for therapists. Or it can be, anyway.”\n\n“Fascinating.” Emily shook her head. “I’ve had quite a bit of experience with therapists myself, over the years, but for fairly obvious reasons, no one ever suggested dance to me. I can see its applicability, though, now that you’ve mentioned it.”\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

To be honest, I’m looking for a new challenge for him.”\n\n“You are, are you?” Honor smiled. “Well, in that case, you’ve come to the right place.”\n\n“I have?” Lessem’s eyebrows arched, and Honor’s smile grew broader.\n\n“Oh, yes. Tell me, are you familiar with the phrase ‘dosey doe’?”\n\nGeorge Benton Tower\nCity of Old Chicago\nOld Earth\nSol System\n\n“Sorry I’m late,” Permanent Senior Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Innokentiy Kolokoltsov told his colleagues as he stepped through the conference room’s doors and they slid silently shut behind him. “I was ready to walk out of my office when one of my analysts — Stephanos Nye, I think I’ve mentioned him to you before — asked for an urgent appointment.”\n\n“You could’ve screened to let us know you’d be delayed.” There was an unpleasant edge in Nathan MacArtney’s reply. Then again, they’d expected him almost an hour earlier.\n\n“It’s not like we don’t all have plenty of ‘urgent appointments’ of our own we could be using our time on instead of sitting twiddling our thumbs,” MacArtney added.\n\nKolokoltsov frowned at him, his eyes cold. Of all the people in this room, MacArtney, as Permanent Senior Undersecretary of the Interior, bore the most direct responsibility for the unholy mess they faced. Kolokoltsov was prepared to admit he’d contributed his own fair share to the making of that mess, but none of the others could rival the string of disasters MacArtney and his ally, the late, unlamented Fleet Admiral Rajampet, had brewed up before Rajampet’s overdue suicide.\n\n“I decided it wasn’t a very good idea to discuss highly sensitive matters over the com, Nathan,” he said after a moment. “We’ve got enough alligators biting us on the arse without letting anything . . . unfortunate get leaked.”\n\n“Oh, don’t be ridiculous, Innokentiy!” Malachai Abruzzi, the Permanent Senior Undersecretary of Information, shook his head. “Our coms are the most secure in the entire galaxy!”\n\n“Really?” Kolokoltsov crossed to the table, settled into the chair at its head, and turned it to face the others. “You’re confident of that, are you?”\n\n“Of course I am!”\n\n“Then perhaps you’d care to explain how the conversation you and Nathan had last month about how to handle the Hypatian situation happened to hit the public boards in Hypatia last week?”\n\nThe silence in the deeply buried, heavily shielded conference room was as total as it was sudden, and he looked around his colleagues’ faces.\n\n“What conversation was that?” Omosupe Quartermain asked after a long, still moment. MacArtney, in particular, had been on the Permanent Senior Undersecretary of Commerce’s personal shit list ever since the situation in the Fringe began deteriorating, since she and her colleague Agatha Wodoslawski, the Permanent Senior Undersecretary of the Treasury, were the ones trying desperately — and unsuccessfully — to cope with the catastrophic fiscal consequences.\n\n“The one in which they considered how much simpler things would get if we dropped an intervention battalion or two into Hypatia to ‘encourage’ President Vangelis to call off the referendum. Something about shooting every tenth senator until they got it right, I believe.” Kolokoltsov’s voice was even colder than his eyes, and Wodoslawski joined him and Quartermain in glowering at Abruzzi and MacArtney.\n\n“Oh, come on, Innokentiy!” Abruzzi protested. “That was never a serious policy suggestion!” He shook his head, expression disgusted. “For God’s sake, there are over two billion people on Hypatia, and another million-point-two in the Alexandria Belt! Someone really thinks a couple of intervention battalions are going to turn something like that around?! Give me a break!”\n\n“Of course I don’t think that. That doesn’t mean someone else might not. And let’s be honest here, it wouldn’t be all that different from quite a few interventions OFS has pulled off out in the Protectorates, now would it? Did it ever occur to either of you that with feelings running as high as they are — and enough people on the other side primed to jump on any opening we give them — finding out that two of the ‘Mandarins’ are even talking about what would amount to a coup against a legally elected system president would play right into the hysteria mongers’ hands?”\n\n“First, we were on a secure government com. Who the hell was going to hear about it?” Abruzzi demanded. “And, secondly, it should’ve been totally clear from the context of our entire conversation that we were venting our frustration, not recommending some kind of serious policy!”\n\n“Malachai, you’re the Permanent Undersecretary of information! You know, better than anyone else in this room, how easy it is to strip something out of its context and turn it into a soundbite that says exactly the opposite of what whoever said it actually meant. And that’s just what some bastard in Hypatia’s done with your and Nathan’s little conversational . . . faux pas.”\n\nAbruzzi had opened his mouth to respond. Now he shut it again, his expression thunderous, because Kolokoltsov was right. The Ministry of Information spent far more of its resources on “shaping the narrative” — what an earlier and more honest age might have called “producing propaganda” — than it ever did on straight news releases.\n\n“How the hell did anybody get their hands on it in the first place?” MacArtney demanded, glaring at Abruzzi with a certain self-righteousness. He is Ms. wasn’t the one who’d just proclaimed the inviolability of their communications channels, after all.\n\n“If I knew that, whoever’s responsible for it would be roasting on a slow spit,” Kolokoltsov replied grimly. “All I know is that the latest courier boat from Hypatia came in about three hours ago, and your conversation — shorn of anything that could conceivably suggest it wasn’t a serious policy suggestion, or at least a serious consideration — had been on the boards for two days before it left. In those two days, according to Stephanos, it logged over nine hundred and seventy-two million hits. I’ve done the math, by the way. That works out to forty-nine percent of the total population of the star system, including every babe in arms. And for your information, that’s seventy-five percent of the adult population. To say it isn’t playing well with the voters would be something of an understatement, Nathan.”\n\n“Oh my God.” Quartermain’s tone couldn’t seem to decide between disgust, anger, and resignation. “So how bad is the damage, Innokentiy?” she sighed.\n\n“Well it isn’t good.” Kolokoltsov popped a data chip into the terminal in front of him and the header of a report appeared on his colleagues’ displays. “This is Nye’s initial take on it. He’s doing a more deliberate analysis, and the numbers may get a little better, but I doubt it’ll make much difference in the end. And the conclusion he’s reached is that what was going to be a squeaker that would probably go against us is in the process of turning into something just a bit more . . . emphatic. The word he used was ‘tsunami,’ actually.”\n\n“All over what couldn’t be more than three or four seconds of a com conversation?” Wodoslawski looked as if she would have liked to be incredulous.\n\n“Oh, it’s more than three or four seconds.” Kolokoltsov spared MacArtney and Abruzzi a fulminating glare, then looked at Wodoslawski. “It would seem there was quite a bit of ‘frustration venting’ in the conversation, and whoever handed it over to the Hypatian newsies must have edited all the choicer bits together, because the actual soundbite runs almost six minutes. Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying this is the only thing driving Hypatian public opinion. There were already a lot of negative factors in the mix, and we all know it. But it looks as if this could be the emotional trigger that turns a vote that already looked dicey into an outright disaster.\"\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.. (jiltanith.thefifthimperium.com)\n\nZitat von »David Weber«\n\n“Shit.” Omosupe Quartermain seldom used colorful language, but she’d clearly decided to make an exception, and Kolokoltsov didn’t blame her.\n\nWith less than a third of Beowulf System’s population, and perhaps a fifth of its gross system product, Hypatia was on the small size for what was technically a Core System of the League. For that matter, as a full member system, Hypatia’s contribution to the Solarian League’s federal budget was limited, aside from the relatively modest duties levied on its interstellar shipping. It was a useful bit of cash flow, but there were probably a dozen Protectorate systems which contributed at least as much. So from that perspective, Hypatia’s potential defection was unlikely to make an already grim situation much worse.\n\nBut Hypatia, like Beowulf, had been a founding member of the Solarian League when the League Constitution was proclaimed right here in Old Chicago seven hundred fifty-seven T-years ago last month. Not only that, the system was only forty-four light-years — less than six days, for a dispatch boat — from Beowulf and the Beowulf Terminus of the Manticoran Wormhole Junction. If Hypatia opted to secede and, even more disastrously, to throw in its lot with its longtime neighbors, trading partners, and friends, it would expand the “Grand Alliance’s” bridgehead at the very heart of the Solarian League dangerously. Worse, a successful secession — another successful secession, since Beowulf’s was a foregone conclusion as soon as the Beowulfers got around to holding their own vote — would go a disastrously long way toward validating the right to secede in the court of public opinion.\n\nAnd that could not be allowed.\n\n“Perhaps you can see now why I didn’t screen you about this,” Kolokoltsov observed. “In fact, I know it’s going to be an incredible pain, but in addition to assuming anything we say on our nice, secure com system is likely to be overheard and watching our tongues accordingly, I think any sensitive information will need to be couriered back and forth between us, at least for the next few days. For that matter, it’d probably be smart of us to handle really sensitive information that way for the foreseeable future.”\n\n“That’d make it almost impossible to coordinate properly,” Wodoslawski objected.\n\n“No, it won’t.” Kolokoltsov shook his head. “It’ll make it difficult, granted, but all of us — except you — have our offices here in George Benton. I don’t know how they got to Nathan and Malachai’s com conversation, but this conference room is only a lift shaft away from our private offices, and it’s shielded against every form of eavesdropping known to man. For that matter, so are our offices. I’ve already found you twenty-four thousand square meters of floor space here in the tower, and if you need it, we can free up twice that much in seventy-two hours. I know moving your entire staff over would be a pain in the arse, but I don’t really see an option if we’re going to keep you in the loop.”\n\n“You’re serious, aren’t you?”\n\n“Dead serious,” he said flatly. “Look, maybe this is an exercise in paranoia on my part, but we’re about to get handed our heads in Hypatia, people. We can’t — we just can’t — go on with this kind of crap hitting us in the face every other week. I’ve talked to my tech people, and they say that if we’re all here in the tower, they can run secure, shielded, hardwired com lines that could only be tapped with direct physical access to the cables. I know it sounds like Dark Ages technology, but if it’ll work, I don’t really give a damn how ‘antiquated’ it is. And if all the cable involved is here in the same tower, it’ll be a lot easier for us to make sure nobody’s getting that physical access to it.”\n\nWodoslawski sat back, shaking her head, and Kolokoltsov couldn’t blame her. In truth, he wasn’t certain himself how much of his proposal was rational and how much was the product of his own increasing desperation. The worst thing about it, he thought, was that he proposed to turn Benton Tower into a fortress, and people living inside fortresses developed fortress mentalities. If he and his colleagues retreated into a bunker, even one as splendidly equipped as this one, it might encourage them to retreat into a deeper and deeper disconnect with the galaxy about them, as well.\n\nBut where’s the option? he asked himself. Whether we like it or not, somebody hacked our coms, and none of our techs have found any fingerprints pointing at who it might’ve been or how the hell they did it. And I don’t have to explain all the implications to the others. They know as well as I do that if someone can hack our coms, God only knows what else they can break into! And really, the only one who’d be physically moving would be Agatá. The rest of us’re already in George Bentoon! For that matter, most of the ministries have been here since the day it was built, so it’s not even like the rest of the League will realize we’re forting up in the first place!\n\nNo, they wouldn’t. George Benton Tower was indelibly associated in the public’s mind with the might and majesty of the League’s Federal Government. Moving the other ministries out of George Benton would have generated far more speculation than moving Treasury into it. But he and his colleagues would know, and so would their most senior and trusted subordinates. And from there, the awareness would seep downward with the inevitability of a winter freeze in Tarko-Sale, his hometown in ancient Siberia.\n\nHe looked around the shielded, guarded conference room and wondered how often his fellows reflected upon the name of the two-kilometer tall tower which housed the Solarian League’s heart and brain. Thought about the fact that it had been named for one of the dozen or so most famous human beings in history, the man most responsible, in many ways, for the League’s creation. The co-leader of the medical teams — the teams from Beowulf — which had preserved human life on Old Earth itself after the Final War. The man who’d seen the need for a coordinating authority that could span hundreds of light-years, recognized its necessity in the wake of the catastrophic damage he’d done so much to repair, and spent the last thirty-five T-years of his life bringing that authority into existence.\n\nThe man whose distant descendent headed the Beowulf System government which was about to stab the Solarian League in the heart. Of course, he must have lirterally billions of “distant descendents” after the next best thing to eight hundred years, and it was only logical for them to be concentrated in Beowulf and its closest galactic neighbors. Yet it was bitterly ironic that even as Chyang Benton-Ramirez prepared to oversee the referendum which would supply the dagger, yet another of those descendents commanded the “Grand Fleet” which might well drive it home.\n\nIt was, perhaps, fortunate so few Solarians were sufficiently aware of their own history to ask why that man’s descendents had chosen to destroy all he’d built.\n\nDRM (...) represent(s) an exercise in mindless stupidity that would shame any self-respecting dinosaur\nEric Flint; http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/principle\nRandom pithy quote: Never take life seriously.

{"text": "Lately there’s been a lot of fuss about Social Media. There are conferences dedicated to it (such as SMX Social) and different aspects of if (such as the upcoming Blog World Expo). There are blogs dedicated to it such as Pete Cashmore’s Mashable, and there are portions of forums dedicated it to it as well like on Cre8asite Forums. All of these talk about Social Media and their individual parts, however it’s rare that any of these actually talk about incorporating Social Media as part of an overall strategy for online marketing.\nTo look as Social Media as a boost for you SEO, quite frankly, is foolish. Social Media touches so many other aspects of an online marketing strategy. It isn’t just about gaining links to raise your PR or even your ranking in the results on Google, Yahoo, Live or Ask. If that is the sole reason to use social media, you might want to start thinking about finding another “quick fix”. Soon enough, the search engines will probably take a hard look at the effect of social media and will start devaluing the power links from places like Digg have (there are some reports that this has already begun to happen).\nSo if the search engines start devaluing the links from these big well known social media hubs like Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, what is and SEO to do. Well if you are just and “SEO” and not an online marketer, it’s off to make sure that website is fully optimized. If you are an online marketer, you probably have already seen the value beyond SEO for Social Media.\nBeyond the mass amount of links that a successful social media campaign can provide there are several other areas that Social Media touches within an internet marketing strategy.\nPPC – When Social Media is strategically combined with PPC it can effectively reduce the cost of some campaigns. If you are advertising in the content network, utilizing social media can help you cut back on some of those costs. It’s a matter of watching your analytics closely in this case, as Social Media is not a replacement for PPC, it can certainly help to reduce some of the costs.\nBranding – Social Media is a great place to work with branding measures. If your company is new, and you need to get the word out in a cheap, efficient way, social media is the place to start. Talking to your audience, participating in a niche community, speaking to people who are already interesting in the type of product or service your offer all are a great way to get the conversation started.\nThe list above demonstrates just a few ways that shows Social Media isn’t just a stand alone strategy. It needs to be worked into an full online marketing plan if you want to have the successful results you are hoping for. Understanding how every aspect interrelates is just as important with social media as it is with working PPC and SEO together. Having an experienced online marketer who understands all aspects is going to be key to your strategy, the last thing you want to do is leave this in the hands of an intern. So take the time and not only plan, but budget for social media, make it a part of the strategy all on its own, not just a part of SEO.\nThis entry was posted in Social Media and tagged marketing plan, Online Marketing, online plans, Social Media, strategies, strategy by Liana \"Li\" Evans.

{"text": "Day 226 of 365\n\nI hope you're genuinely happy about being engaged, and not thinking too yourself that this is not what you want but you're too scared to say anything, like I was. I hope he doesn't tell you after only a week that he loves you, because he doesn't mean it. I hope you're prepared for extreme jealousy and controlling behavior with the excuse of \"I just love you too much\" I hope when he dedicates cheesy love songs to you, it makes you smile...because smiling won't be something you do a lot anymore. I hope you don't have to use your savings to pay off his debts and his bills, but if you do, he'll be nice to you for a while. I hope your family and friends never overhear how badly he speaks to you especially when you put so much effort into hiding it from them. I hope if you ever temporarily split up, you block his number and don't respond to any of his messages because if you do, you won't be able to hear him threaten to kill himself if you don't go and see him and sort things out. I hope you never have to get back with him to prevent him posting nasty things about you over the internet. I hope you're fully prepared to argue and fall out with your family and friends trying to defend him, because other people that are not under his influence have the ability to see his true colors. I hope you'll have the strength to say no when he persuades you to move in with him after a short time of being together, and if you don't, I hope you have time to decorate the bedroom; and surround yourself with things that remind you of your life before because you'll spend a lot of your time in there reminiscing and grieving the life you once had. I hope you never loose contact with your parents just because he doesn't like you seeing them and makes it difficult for you. I hope you don't start to become anxious and paranoid that you're being watched. I hope when you go to visit your old home to go and see your dog, he doesn't sit in the car outside the house and time how long it takes you to get the dog on a lead and back to the car. I hope you don't have any male friends that you love dearly, because you'll have no option but to cut ties with them to keep them safe. I hope he takes responsibility for his anger and aggression and doesn't blame it on you or his past. I hope he doesn't threaten to hurt your loved ones if you leave him. I hope he doesn't scare you with stories of what he's done to people in the past and what he's capable of. I hope he doesn't make you cover up because he doesn't approve of the 'revealing' clothes you are wearing. I hope he never makes nasty and degrading comments about your appearance. I hope your friends don't notice the marks on your body and start to get suspicious, because when they start asking questions, you have to distance yourself to protect them from harm, which will then result in you being even lonelier than you already are. I hope he has respect for your body and doesn't pressure you to do anything in the bedroom that you're not comfortable with. I hope that when you do finally pluck up the courage to try and leave him for the first time, he'll let you leave and not keep you in the house against your will, and I hope you get to go running back home into your mum’s arms and have her tell you that everything’s going to be okay. I hope he doesn't threaten suicide and say how it would be all your fault as way of making sure you stay with him. I hope that when he writes a lovely Facebook status about you, or runs you a nice bubble bath, or buys you a bunch of flowers, or a bottle of wine and some chocolates from the shop, it's because he appreciates you and wants to treat you nicely, and not just because he was violent the night before. I hope he doesn't tell you over and over and over again that you're crazy for thinking there’s something wrong with how he's treating you, because you're right, there is! I hope that you never believe him when he consistently tells you it’s your fault he acted the way he did and that it wouldn’t have happened if you hadn't stepped out of line. I hope you don't anxiously wait up for him to come home so you can try and predict what mood he's going to be in. I hope being with him, doesn't affect your job attendance and performance. I hope you don't have to keep your phone on you at all times to secretly text him back before he gets angry. I hope he never goes to strangle you in anger and pass it off as play-fighting. I hope he never threatens you with the knife he keeps in his bedside draw. I hope after he's hurt you, he doesn't turn on the waterworks and come up with excuses for his actions so you'll forgive him. I hope you never have to miss out on your loved ones birthdays and family events because he won't allow you to attend. I hope you never try to take your own life because it's the only way you think you can escape, and I hope when you get to hospital, you wait to speak to somebody but of course, he'll tell you to discharge yourself and then proceed to tell you that it was selfish of you and you should apologize. I hope he never stops you taking contraception, and I hope he never hides it or bins it, so that you'll get pregnant and have to stay with him. I hope he never drags you back to the car when you try and run away from him. I hope when you go to pack your things, he doesn't drag you into the house and force you to get undressed. I hope he then doesn't force you into having sex. I hope you don't notice that evil look in his eyes as he's grabbing you and pulling you back up the stairs you've just frantically run down to escape. I hope you have the strength in you to fight back and get away. I hope you aren't thinking that this is the moment your life is going to end but I hope that if it is, you have left things on good terms with your friends and family and told them how much you love them once last time. I then hope you realize that it's pointless to defy him and your chances of surviving will only decrease if you anger him any further and so I hope you do as he says and stop fighting. I hope you don't lie there pretending to be asleep and spending hours deciding whether you're going to risk sneaking out. I hope that when the morning comes, he doesn't try to convince you that you're wrong for being upset with him when actually all it is, is you finally seeing things for how they really are, ...you're seeing him for what he really is. I hope that when you finally do pick up what's left of your shattered self-confidence, pride and dignity off of the floor, he lets you leave. I hope he lets you collect all of your valuables, and sentimental items in the 10 mins you have to escape. My most favorite thing was my teddy, I used to cuddle it to sleep sometimes when I was sad and when I missed my dogs, I must have left it behind, but I hope you take yours with you. But in all honestly, my hopes and dreams for you mean nothing because even though I hope that you aren't going through what I went through, I know you will be at some point if you're not already. I still hope and pray that he may have miraculously changed for your sake, but I know and you know, he won’t, and I hope you know that you deserve so much better. I hope you know that I once wore that ring on your left hand. Of course he wasn't a monster at first, and that's why it's really hard to leave, because you want the person you fell in love with, and sometimes he even pretended to be that nice person for a little while, but it's an illusion, an act. it's not real, what's written above is the real him, and I know if you're anything like me, you won't believe anyone but him at first... but for me, it was almost too late, and I don't want you to go through that. I don't have a clue who you are or how you're doing but I hope and pray that you're okay. I hope you get out of this unharmed, and if you ever do, you'll realize how good life is when you have the freedom to be yourself and be with your family and friends. I hope you know that life does go on after him, it doesn't have to end. I'm happier now than I ever was in that relationship.\n\nI'll forever be thinking of you and hoping that you're alright.

{"text": "Upper Colorado River Leaders Wade Into Arizona Dispute\nBy Bret Jaspers\nPublished: Monday, April 16, 2018 - 6:32pm\nUpdated: Wednesday, May 2, 2018 - 8:16am\nJasper-debrief-041718.mp3\nBret Jaspers/KJZZ\nA Central Arizona Project canal in Scottsdale. The CAP brings water from the Colorado River to central Arizona.\nStates in the Upper Colorado River Basin are telling downstream neighbor Arizona to get its act together.\nCommissioners for the Upper Colorado River sent a letter late last week to Arizona Department of Water Resources Director Tom Buschatzke. In the letter, they specifically criticized a water management strategy of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD).\nHere’s what the upper basin doesn’t like: the CAWCD aims to keep Lake Mead at a so-called “sweet spot.” If the level of the lake stays in that range, then under current agreements, more water comes down from Lake Powell.\nThe Commissioners’ letter expressed deep concern that CAWCD “intends to disregard the basin’s dire situation at the expense of Lake Powell and all other basin states.” Don Ostler, executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission, said bluntly in an interview. “That kind of manipulation is unacceptable to the Upper Basin.”\nThe letter echoed an argument long made by Buschatzke.\n“It raises important questions about actions taken by Central Arizona Water Conservation District that threaten to blow up the collaborative effort that we have been enjoying on the Colorado River for the last 20 years,” he said.\nA statement from the CAWCD, in part, said, “We are surprised and disappointed to have received a letter from the Upper Colorado River Commission questioning CAWCD’s intentions in leaving water in Lake Mead. We have been reaching out to our partners in the Upper Basin, hoping to clarify apparent misunderstandings, and to facilitate in-person, collaborative discussions aimed at finding solutions that will benefit the communities and environment served by this mighty river.”\nCAWCD also reminded people of the water the agency has conserved on behalf of Lake Mead, “at a significant cost to CAP water users in terms of water and water rates.” CAWCD runs the Central Arizona Project canal system, which delivers water to the Phoenix and Tuscon areas.\nThe Upper Colorado River Commissioners also urged Arizona to get its internal house in order so all seven states and Mexico can plan for long-term drought.\n“The seven Colorado River Basin states and Mexico are connected at the hip in this river,” Ostler said. “And what is going on with regards to one state, its failure to make progress, is having an effect on all seven states.”\nBuschatzke and Gov. Doug Ducey are trying to get big-ticket water legislation through the state Capitol this year. But time is running out on the legislative session.\nThis story is part of Elemental: Covering Sustainability, a new multimedia collaboration between Cronkite News, Arizona PBS, KJZZ, KPCC, Rocky Mountain PBS and PBS SoCal.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 650, "token_count_with_eod": 651, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "It was supposed to become a white elephant, but it is a very different animal now. We are talking about Sepang International Circuit (SIC) which, in human terms, has disowned a once-favourite son and embraced its stepchild — and has never looked in better shape.\nSceptics who said it could not survive without the glitzy circus of Formula One, should have been there last Sunday. The presence of over 103,000 ecstatic fans did not just confirm a regular pulse, it points to a long and healthy future. And they even had local boy, Hafizh Syarhin, to cheer on as he made a heroic dash through the field. It was an historic first on home soil.\nThe prophets of doom could also drop by any day of the year and see not just a happening motorsport hub for the entire region, but an all-purpose venue for entertainment, concerts, running, cycling, obstacle events and even weddings. And all because of the money freed up by letting F1 go after 19 continuous but cash-haemorrhaging years of playing host.\nMasterminding the transformation is SIC CEO Datuk Razlan Razali, who first had to escape the clutches of F1. He explains: “The last extension of the F1 contract was over three years (2016, 2017 and 2018), but the government agreed with us that we should try to reduce it by one year, finishing a year earlier.\n“We managed to do this without a penalty, which would have been the cost of two Grands Prix, basically. And if we had staged the race this year, it would have been close to US$60 million, not forgetting that before we entered into a fresh agreement of three years in 2015, we were paying close to US$80 million a year.\n“We took a portion of the budget provided for us by the government for 2018 and put it into talent development. We told them that it was important for us to keep on developing the industry and also to commit to the rehabilitation of SIC.\nBut when Razlan invited Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to switch on the new circuit lights back in August, he was asked what might have been an awkward, if not entirely serious, question.\n“So, when are we going to bring back F1?” the PM quipped.\nOf course, F1 was Mahathir’s idea in the first place and a hankering for nostalgia was understandable. But Razlan told him: “No, Tun, we are not [bringing it back] because the decision [to cancel] was purely SIC’s — it wasn’t the previous government’s. It’s the economics that don’t make sense now. The number of spectators, especially locals, has dropped significantly.\nThe argument bore the kind of financial prudence the new government had been preaching and Mahathir was convinced. F1 had been his “baby” and, in the early years, was a great success with huge crowds and a genuine buzz around Kuala Lumpur. Car manufacturers showed off new models, the vroom of a Ferrari rattled the windows of Bangsar bistros; there were shopping carnivals, cultural festivals and the beautiful people went full throttle.\nBut in the mid-2000s the novelty wore off and from an event that had put Malaysia on the map, it became a loss leader in need of a GPS — going nowhere but still gobbling up most of the budget.\nIt was in 2008, two weeks before the GP and only a few painful months after the global financial crisis that he arrived in the hot seat. He is not strapped in and doesn’t wear a helmet, but there have been times when he might have called out the safety car.\nSingapore had muscled in to steal Malaysia’s overalls with a night race, SIC lost the Japan Super GT race and the sport itself was losing its captivating glitter. Advances in telemetry meant races were now controlled more and more from the garage, where a dominant troika of constructors made it all too predictable. Constantly tweaking the rules has not helped either.\nFernando Alonso spoke for many when he said: “It’s not fun anymore and the action of the track is very poor.” So poor that it has driven him out of the sport. Start times, too, were altered for Europe’s TV audience and Malaysia couldn’t even get it finished after storm delays in 2009.\nBut it was 2014 when Malaysia suffered what Razlan calls, “a double whammy”.\nHaving Moto GP as the new flagship event has certainly been different. Once seen as the poor relation that attracted a low of 15,000 fans, the bikes have grown as the cars have withered. Fans, and particularly Malaysian fans, can identify more with the riders. Unlike their corporatised F1 counterparts, these guys fall off their machines and get back on to joust again in hi-octane, knee-scraping combat.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1057, "token_count_with_eod": 1058, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Can't say I'm surprised by this. The Phantom Pain will be the first entry in the Metal Gear series to have a fully featured open world, and Kojima did want his new engine to have the capability to handle extreme nonlinear environments.\n\nPersonally, I would be ecstatic for an open world Silent Hill. Being able to explore every nook and cranny of the town has, from what I can recall, been a pretty big desire from a good portion of the Silent Hill community.\n\nNice. I liked that part about Downpour, where you had the option to explore the town rather than follow a linear storyline all the way through. Hopefully in the new game they'll be able to expand on that more.\n\nThe problem is, open world in Silent Hill doesn't mean a lot. Being able to explore every building could be detrimental to the experience, and even if you could, what would be put in there? Downpour sort of tried this and it didn't really do much for the gameplay. It's also significantly more expensive to develop such a game because you need a stupid amount of assets, unless you repeat them like crazy just like Downpour (which was one of the most annoying things about the game.)\n\nAll I am expecting is a linear-ish story, perhaps with a bit of choice in what order you complete the levels, and a few doors opened in the town for you to enter and explore. Silent Hill is not an RPG and open world just isn't that good for it.\n\nAs long as it's not a huge map and \"post-campaign\" isn't in this open-world then things should be fine. Just imagine the player finishing the story, getting the ending and then said player is still free to explore the game after the credits... It just doesn't work for SH.\n\nI like open world things when done well, but not everything needs to be open world. I didn't think MGS needed to go open world and I don't think SH needs to either. Some types of games benefit from a linear design, despite how some people have begun treating linearity as a negative.\n\nThat being said, I loved Downpour and one of the things I loved the most about it was exploring the town and doing the side quests. If they do something like that but add more to it, then I'd be very fine with that.\n\nPlus, I really don't want to have to hear people saying \"Skyrim Hill\" if it's an open world game. You know they will.\n\nSemi-open world would be better, IMO. Open world either means a lack of focus, which would be detrimental to the story, or crappy mission based gameplay. I don't want either of those things. Take the Dark Souls / Super Metroid approach, have a critical path with some side areas to explore and maybe the potential for sequence breaking. Or what also might work is a plot where you have to gather up a set amount of mcguffins, which allows you to takes areas in any order.\n\nI like open world things when done well, but not everything needs to be open world.

You know they will.\n\nI don't think MGS is open world in the way that most people are thinking it will be, from what it sounds like the world is open, but you're there doing missions. I don't think Kojima would make Silent Hill totally open world, but giving room for exploration would be good.\n\nThis link has been posted before. Just FYI this website might not be a reliable source of info, considering nobody else has reported this and there has been no other Q & A with Kojima outside of his appearences at the Sony and MGSV gala with Keighley and one Konami Q&A with submissions from their Facebook page.\n\nI agree with Tillerman that the game should ony be semi-open. I liked the structure in Downpour but the side-quests felt too obvious and gamey. If there are side-quests in Silent Hills they shouldn't be labelled as such and there should be more incentive to compete them than a trophy.\n\nDesiring 'Open World' for Silent Hill, just means that sections and areas aren't sectioned off with completely different loading areas that makes traversal seamless.\n\nGames like GTA and Red Dead are more correctly called 'Open World Sandboxes' where you can pretty much do anything and keep playing.\n\nMGSV is following the Peace Walker model in that you go places from a hub only with very large maps and there will be side missions there.\n\nWhat FOX will basically provide is the experience Downpour was going for, where you can seamlessly go between areas.\n\nSH will obviously not need to be as big as GTA or Afghanistan. It'll be a much smaller town. And even with an 'Open World' or rather an open-level design with side-missions like Downpour had, areas can still be artificially sectioned off to keep a linear flow going.\n\nBeing open-world doesn't necessarily mean the game will offer what GTA of MGSV do. It's just an idea that the town is an open level for more seamless traversal and exploration, where perhaps you can seamlessly go indoors and outdoors with minimal to no-loading.\n\nWe still have absolutely no idea what Kojima has in mind though, so most likely only the outdoors part is 'open' when when entering indoors or going to 'other places' these will be separate sections and not part of one seamless map.\n\nA large open SH game sounds nice. Linear gameplay is annoying. It shouldn't be too different from any other SH game other than being able to walk all over the game world. I remember how stuck I got on the first SH walking all over town. That would really suck in a GTA size SH. Bring it on! lol\n\nPersonally, I'm sick of open world stuff. I don't want freedom anymore. I've had my fill of it, really. I'm not even being facetious. I prefer linearity--it results in a more focused experience with less empty, shallow filler.\n\nTake me from point A to point B, like in older SH games. Sure, there can be nooks and crannies to explore for extra medkits or an Easter egg or two, but don't waste time on ghost side stories or fetch quests. I feel they add little to the game and divert attention away from the main storyline.\n\nPersonally, I'm sick of open world stuff. I don't want freedom anymore. I've had my fill of it, really.

I feel they add little to the game and divert attention away from the main storyline.\n\nI'm in total agreement here. Linearity is a storytelling tool as much as a gameplay tool. I wouldn't mind having a different ending if the player explored more, a la Silent Hill 1, but the \"central hub with spokes\" (the Room) kind of kills the narrative flow for me.\n\nI would love to be able to just explore silent hill freely, but it would need to be done very carefully. I think I would go just a bit more open than sh2 while still stopping you from spoiling the surprises. The problem I have with open sandbox games is I can't resist free roaming and experimenting so much that by the time I get back to story mode I have the game figured out and nothing surprises me.\n\nWe wouldn't have GTA-like elements; I would hope we wouldn't have (human) pedestrians roaming the street or cars to drive. Don't waste processing power on physics sandbox stuff....\n\nWhat open world elements could possibly added? Day/night cycles could work if done right, as long as Silent Hill is never blue again (I hate when they do that). There could be a great dread factor of trying to get where you're going before the sun goes down and it gets pitch black like certain outdoor scenes in sh2.\n\nEven collect-em-all puzzles like the picture scraps in PT could be a non-intrusive bonus for gamers without negatively affecting the game. I think it was very neatly integrated and apparently isn't necessary to beat the game. Maybe little hidden secrets around the town could give extra back story or just added creeps.\n\nThe town itself could be freely explorable with map leading to your objectives like sh2 (a pattern is emerging) and as story dictates, they can just have something change (you find a key to a locked area, a road becomes a cliff). So basically, like sh2, but more freedom to do \"urban exploration\" if you really want to. If done right, the open world would be so scary players will want to go to their objectives to get the hell out of it.\n\nAnd with Silent Hill, the designers have the advantage of being able to suddenly change the environment however they please just to mess with or nudge the player in a certain direction.\n\nI think I've just talked myself into it. Just please don't show me all the good stuff right away.

Having moved well beyond basic electronic health record systems, they're now looking for efficiencies in communication, data storage and security, analytics, asset tracking, bed management and more.\nWe consulted with HIMSS Analytics to spotlight technologies that have the greatest predicted buying activity for U.S. hospitals in the coming year.\n\"These are the technologies that are showing the most potential for growth for 2017,\" said Matt Schuchardt, director of market intelligence solutions sales at HIMSS Analytics.\nWhile the market has cooled off a bit since earlier in the decade, and \"there are going to be fewer buyers than there were around HITECH, 300 or so hospitals is still more than 5 percent of the market, and represents a significant number of buyers in the space for a single year.\"\nHere, then, are the technologies most on the radar for 5,461 hospitals across the U.S. in 2017. (Number of predicted installs in parentheses.)\nTransfusion Management System (375) and Specimen Collection Management System (398)\n\"These are really for advanced laboratory systems – managing how things are transfused, whether blood or even breast milk, and then labeling these things from a specimen management perspective: Making sure that thing are being barcoded when the phlebotomist takes it, and those barcodes are being tracked throughout the hospital, making sure you're testing the right specimens and running the right tests,\" said Schuchardt.\nWhile other innovations such as laboratory outreach services – making sure people are actually getting their lab tests – and genomics are also seeing growth (more below), \"overall adoption of that is significantly lower than things that make your regular lab system more efficient, like managing transfusions and managing specimen collection better,\" he said.\nInfection Surveillance System (405)\n\"This is about what it sounds,\" said Schuchardt. \"Working on reducing hospital-acquired infections, managing and monitoring that better. It's part of the CMS (quality) scores and they're doing a better job monitoring that, making sure the taxpayers aren't paying for HAIs. Monitoring that will continue to be important on an ongoing basis, as there are more and more people hired for that role.\"\nAnesthesia Information Management System (237)\n\"If you think about where risk is, hospitals really focus around surgery,\" said Schuchardt. \"Making sure they're monitoring anesthesia is really important: It's the most dangerous part of any hospital stay, other than staph infections. Hospitals are looking at that, and you can see the current adoption rate is under 2,000, but we expect that to grow pretty substantially.\"\nMedical Necessity Checking Content (424)\n\"We think there's still a lot of growth there. It's really about making sure the hospital is going to get paid for the procedure prior to doing it. I expect growth there to continue. It still surprises me that a lot of hospitals do these procedures with the hope of getting paid as a strategy.\"\nLaboratory - Outreach Services (298)\n\"This is making sure people are getting the tests that they need,\" said Schuchardt. \"You see the see the TV ads for biologics all the time that may cause liver damage: Are these people coming back in and having their levels checked on their liver while they're taking them? This technology manages the process – making sure people are being notified of the results, notified for follow-up work, and things like that.\"\nLaboratory - Molecular Diagnostics (113)\nThis is HIMSS Analytics' term for precision medicine. \"We see some growth there,\" said Schuchardt. Specifically, he sees more health systems moving to a \"hub-and-spoke model\" for genomics capabilities, with larger medical centers with the technology and the personnel serving smaller hospitals. \"There are large health systems that are adopting precision medicine, and there are specific ones, like oncology, where almost every cancer hospital has it in place,\" he said. \"But I suspect we will see precision medicine installed at hub hospitals, so the actual blood work and tests may be done at the academic medical center that's the center of the healthcare system you go to – but probably never will be done at your local hospital.\"\nRadiology 3D Image/Display (348)\n\"As imaging capabilities increase, being able to see those images gets more and more complicated,\" said Schuchardt. These days, after all, a three-dimensional mammogram is can be as large as a terabyte or more. \"As these images get more discrete, the volume and size of those images grows pretty rapidly,\" he said. \"Being able to manipulate a giant 3D model like that requires special monitors, special software to make sense of it.\"\nCardiology 3D Image/Display (178)\nSimilar to the radiology display but focused on cardiology, this are \"will have less adoption, always, than radiology, as there are a number of hospitals that just don't offer cardiology services,\" he said. \"But there's a similar growth curve with a cap on it, in that not everyone is going to be offering cardiology.\"\nNurse Communication System (420)\n\"Nurses are, for most hospitals, the majority of employees,\" said Schuchardt. Making sure they're in the right places and doing the right things and taking care of patients at the right moment is going to continue to be important as nurses will continue to be the primary caregivers in the hospital.\"\nPhysician Assessment Software Tool (140)\n\"This one is really interesting,\" said Schuchardt. \"It's about monitoring the effectiveness of your docs. One of the things they track now is hospital-acquired infections, suture-site infections, bloodline infections and things like that. Monitoring whether particular doctors have higher instances of that or not, making sure you're watching those sorts of things, leads to some better outcomes. I know there's probably some resistance from physicians in terms of being watched, but what gets measured gets done, and measuring the outcomes for individual physicians, preliminary analysis shows, has a very positive effect on reducing hospital-acquires infections. There are still fewer than 2,000 hospitals using this kind of technology.\"\nAsset Tracking/Management (342)\n\"This is really an IT function: Tracking the certificates on your Windows machines, is everything up-to-date, are all your updates in place, are you tracking the depreciation of your servers and things like that? Certainly, as you get more tablets and things like that, tracking where they are and that they're secure is going to be important.\"\nBed Management (296)\nBusiness intelligence toosl focused on bed usage are increasingly important, said Schuchardt. \"The value of beds, the types of patients who are in those beds, are you getting the most of them, what's your census rate like, what's your average number of patients to a bed. We suspect that, like all other BI and analytics tools, we'll continue to see growth.\" (+)\nSource: http://linkis.com/healthcareitnews.com/EE35q", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 1544, "token_count_with_eod": 1545, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "Alyn Cosker - Traps the Drum Wonder's successor\nActors dream of playing King Lear and Hamlet. A great soprano will likely have had Verdi and Puccini’s heroines in her sights from an early age and a jazz drummer, well, jazz musicians generally want to find their own voices but for a drummer one of the ultimate challenges has to be filling Buddy Rich’s shoes.\nThe Scottish National Jazz Orchestra’s resident drum stool occupant, Alyn Cosker certainly thinks so. Cosker, who will be the main focus of attention in the orchestra’s Buddy Rich tribute, Traps, the Drum Wonder, this weekend has been in awe of Rich since his father showed him a video of Rich guesting with Frank Sinatra, just after Cosker took up the drums at the age of thirteen.\nHe has listened to Rich’s recordings avidly, studied videos and DVDs of him in action and found both solace and healthy doses of reality in going back to his favourites. So when the SNJO’s director, Tommy Smith, brought up the idea of a Rich tribute, Cosker was over the moon. Then he remembered those listening sessions when he’d thought he was making good progress, only to be brought back down to earth with a bump, and almost had a panic attack.\n“I can remember my dad putting on that Sinatra video for the first time and just not being able to believe what I was seeing and hearing,” says Cosker of Rich whose career began at the tender age of eighteen months as Traps, the Drum Wonder and included spells with Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey in the big band era as well as gigs and recordings with fellow jazz icons Charlie Parker, Lester Young and Art Tatum.\n“I’d been listening to a lot of Mitch Mitchell, Roger Taylor from Queen and things like Rush, which were all quite dynamic from the drumming point of view. But here was Buddy, playing West Side Story, which we’ll be playing on the tribute concerts, and he just had such style and gracefulness. He had incredible technique and he was a real showman, of course, but what knocked me out immediately were his breadth of dynamics – he could play with the subtlest of touches as well as making all these bombastic explosions – and his immense musicality. When he played a solo, sure, there was lots going on but through it all you could hear the melody and the form of the tune he was soloing on. It just seemed to flow out of him.”\nThe drums weren’t Cosker’s first instrument. His dad, Jim, played piano and encouraged Alyn to follow suit, but after beginning piano lessons at the age of six, he found too many extra-musical attractions until his older brother, also Jim, took up the drums. At school in Ayrshire there was a band called the Dream Teddies, whose drummer, Ross Cooney, Cosker remembers as “the coolest guy on the planet.” Here was a role model and as soon as Jim senior realised that Alyn was serious about emulating his local hero, drum lessons were arranged.\nJust how seriously Alyn applied himself can be judged by the offer of a scholarship from Berklee College of Music he received following auditions in Glasgow when he’d been playing drums for just three years. He didn’t actually take up the chance to go to America’s most prestigious music performance school – he felt he was too young at the time - and even after re-auditioning later, he decided that he would do just as well on Strathclyde University’s applied music course.\n“By that time I’d had a lot of good advice from people like my original drum tutor, Chris Killen, who was a professional player, and I was already getting good experience with different bands,” he says. “So I never really felt that I missed out by not going to Berklee, although a lot of people from Scotland have obviously now benefited from going there.”\nCosker’s passage from Strathclyde student to full-time professional was almost seamless. A player who adds as much to a band by listening to his colleagues as he does through his alert and finely tuned playing, he quickly became established on the Scottish jazz scene and his versatility found him work as a session musician and as the regular drummer with popular folk-rock band Wolfstone. Hue & Cry, Isobel Campbell, of Belle & Sebastian, Martin Pellow, of Wet Wet Wet, singer-songwriter Amy McDonald and former Young Scottish Traditional Musician of the Year Emily Smith are just some of Cosker’s other clients from the rock, pop and folk worlds.\nIt’s the range of his work with SNJO since joining in 2004, and memorable gigs playing the ultra-demanding rhythm patterns of Venezuelan pianist Leo Blanco at Aberdeen Jazz Festival in 2007 and inspiring Norwegian master double bassist Arild Andersen at Edinburgh Jazz Festival last August, however, that make Cosker a natural for the Buddy Rich role. Already having a reputation for solid preparation – his command of his parts for SNJO’s Stan Kenton tribute has been remarked upon often – he has been boning up on Rich at every opportunity since Tommy Smith told him to put the gigs in his diary.\n“Tommy and I discussed the programme early on, so I’ve had quite a long time to go back and listen to all the CDs involved and think about how to approach it,” he says. “But you learn so much from watching someone like Buddy and there are things he does, little things like the way he holds his sticks differently on certain passages, things that I might not normally do but I’m going to bring them in. The idea is to give a good snapshot of the period, so I’ll change the way I set up my kit and incorporate cymbal patterns that were popular at the time but are maybe not used so much now. I’m never going to be Buddy Rich but it’s fascinating trying to get into his character.”\nSo does stopping short at becoming Buddy Rich mean that he doesn’t get to harangue the band on the bus after the gigs, as numerous tapes and YouTube clips will attest was Rich’s wont?\n“I think they’d just laugh at me if I tried that,” says Cosker, who follows up the Rich tribute with an album and tour in May by his own trio. “Buddy was pretty fierce, although he could also be a charmer and he had a great sense of humour – you can hear that in his playing – and he could laugh at himself. There’s a great clip of him being interviewed by Michael Parkinson and being shown a picture of himself as Traps, the Drum Wonder and he says that it was so long ago that it could have been a different person but at least he was holding his sticks right.”\nFrom The Herald, March", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 1398, "token_count_with_eod": 1399, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}
{"text": "Property owners with delinquent taxes can avoid further late penalties if they pay by January 2, 2004, Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas said Wednesday.\nThree months after the Oct. 1, 2003 due date, there were 86,961 Cook County parcels of land with a total of $182.5 million in tax delinquencies as of Wednesday.\nThe next round of late penalties normally would take effect Thursday. But with the New Year's Day holiday, taxpayers may avoid further penalties if they submit payments by mail with a Friday U.S. postmark or in person at the Treasurer's Office at 118 N. Clark St., in Chicago.\nThree rounds of reminder notices have been sent to those with delinquencies since the first billing. The balance on any Property Index Number (or PIN) is accessible at the \"payment status\" section at www.cookcountytreasurer.com. Taxpayers also may check their balance at the 24-hour automated phone system at 312.443.5100.\n\"Ultimately, the law requires printing legal notices in newspapers and sending certified-mail notices to taxpayers. The law also requires offering unpaid delinquencies at the upcoming tax sale,\" Pappas said. \"Taxpayers who have delayed paying should submit payments now to avoid more costs, publications, the tax sale, and simply to protect their properties.\"\nPappas noted that some taxpayers have delinquencies due to mortgage company errors. If a homeowner pays taxes through escrow and the lender failed to pay or paid on the wrong PIN, the taxpayer must call and/or write the lender to get it to resolve the situation. Under state and federal laws, the lender is responsible for any late penalties if it caused the delay. Taxpayers need to check, because this can happen after a refinancing, Pappas said.

H.\nScope note The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from \"Operation Dixie\" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series.\nBiographical or historical note Myron Howard \"Mike\" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne \"Buddie\" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of \"character.\" From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H.

{"text": "Guy, I just finished the book Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. I’m not going to lie it was amazing. I’ve never had so much positivity spilled over me in my life and I can’t reccomend it enough.\nI listened to the audio book tohrough the scribed app. Which I totally reccomend. I loved it so much that I went right out to buy the hard copy of this book.\nThis book has inspired me to think about the lies I believe about myself. The lies that Anxiety shouts at me on a daily basis.\nThis is the main reason why my blog has been let go a bit. It’s hard to be inspired to create any kind of content. Especially when you’re convinced that no one cares about what you’re creating.\nOne way to work around it. I care. That needs to be enough. I didn’t start blogging for every one else, I did it for me as an attempt to overcome my anxieties.\nOk, this one goes way back. For as long as I can rember I’d convince my self that I’m annoying everyone. In high school if I didn’t get to the lunch table first I wouldn’t go sit down. I would literally see the same group of kids that always sat with me, and I’d go to the empty one next to it. It didn’t matter how many times they’d make me move to join them. It never really clicked that they were my friends and I wasn’t annoying them.\nOne way to work around it: I remind myself that positive comments are lovely and who knows maybe they’ve had a rough day or someone online has been particularly mean maybe they need something nice said. It’s ok to reach out to friends if your bored, I mean they can’t possibly find you too annoying if you’ve been friends since first grade.\nI hate “can’t” because can’t is the biggest self fufilling statement ever. There is no reason I can’t be a successful blogger unless I convince myself and quit trying. I mean I’ve proved that I can write better then my slightly dyslexic teenage self who was convinced she would never be a writer. No I don’t have 1 million readers. That’s alright because I only need one. If I can cheer up entertain or help one person then my blog has done its job.\nOne thing that helped me: One of my favorite quotes that I’ve been clinging to since my teenage MySpace times is “tell me I can’t, I’ll show you I can.” Can’t is the biggest lie I’ve ever believed. I try to change “I can’t” to “I’m struggling with/to.” I find it helps to find and isolate the problem then I can sort it out and do what ever I tried and failed to do in the first place.\nThose are just some of the “lies” that I believe and and how I remind myself they don’t have to be. Is there anything you believed as a whole truth when really it’s not? Also please share this with a friend who you’ll think will like it. Now that I’ve finished Girl Wash Your Face I went out a bought Girl, Stop Apologizing. I’m about 4 chapters in and I’m feeling so inspired to do great things.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 681, "token_count_with_eod": 682, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

It is our duty to ensure there is minimal disturbance to this National Heritage Listed region and the species that call it home. Cultural sensitivity and respect for the traditional owners should also be shown at all times.read more\n\nPart of our responsibility is educating guests on minimal impact practices and the importance of ensuring the safety of wildlife and the environmental sustainability of the destinations we visit.\n\nLearn more about EcoTourism: https://www.ecotourism.org.au/\n\nTraditional Owners\n\nAutopia Tours would like to begin by paying our respects to the traditional owners of this country, with specific acknowledgement to the Wurundjeri people. Please be conscious and respectful of the sensitivities of indigenous culture and the spiritual connection they have with the land at all times.\n\nWildlife Encounters\n\nThe natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.\n\nWildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.\n\nWildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.\n\nProtecting our National Parks\n\nPeople should remain on designated walking tracks, behind safety barriers/fences and follow all directions given by the guide/tour leader. Venturing off these can alter fragile ecosystems and can harm wildlife shelters and native vegetation. There are other dangers to be aware of too, such as cliff edges, unstable rock formations, overhanging tree branches and slippery ground cover. Remaining on tracks ensures safe visitation for guests and the environment.\n\nNo flora or fauna should be removed from their natural setting. This includes dead wood, fallen leaves, flowers and so forth, as they form part of the ecosystem of the region and their removal could cause a disturbance.\n\nWaste Management\n\nAll buses are fitted with waste bins. No organic waste should be disposed of onto the ground. Although organic, items such as banana peels, apple cores, bread and other food scraps, are not natural/native to the region and can introduce pest species, diseases or harm to wildlife if found and eaten. We recommend all passengers bring a water bottle with you on our Great Ocean Road Tour. Purchasing bottled water contributes large amounts of plastic into the landfill. Therefore, we ask guests to bring their own bottle, as there is access to water refill stations available on our vehicles. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the tour to reduce the risk of sun exposure and dehydration.\n\nFirst Aid\n\nAll our guides carry a current Level 2 First Aid certificate. Please report any accident or illness to your tour guide. We recommend anyone with an existing medical condition to carry their medication with them on tour and to notify their tour guide at the beginning of the tour.\n\nIf you are a smoker! We ask you to refrain from smoking whilst in the company of other passengers and limit it to designated smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted on any of our vehicles, or in any type of accommodation including permanent campsites. We make frequent ‘comfort stops’ to allow free time for guests but cannot guaranteed smoke breaks. Please ensure you dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly and appropriately.\n\nI booked a day trip to the great ocean road. I initially wanted to do this trip with friends over a couple of days but they couldn't make it.

In October last year, 50 of Glenravel's “Young at Heart” group bussed it to Portadown to enjoy a day of hospitality as well as visiting sights such as Drumcree Church.\nThis year, with help from Gillian Forrest Liaison Officer from Supporting Communities, the group secured further funding for a second part of the programme through the Mid and East Antrim Council Good Relations Programme.\nOn Wednesday 2 March 2016, the good people from the Richmount Rural Community Association braved the Ballymena weather and joined the Glenravel group for a Mayor's Reception in the Braid Centre where the Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Council Billy Ashe and Cllr Paul Maguire welcomed both groups. This was followed by a tour of the Glens and a cultural event with plenty of food and laughter throughout the day.\nMarian Maguire from GDCRA stated, “I would like to thank Gillian Forrest from Supporting Communities for helping us to secure the funding to make this event happen. I would also like to thank the Mid and East Antrim Council for providing the funding.

{"text": "CNN - Social Media/Technology\nA bot can now beat poker pros at six-player Texas Hold ‘Em\nTrevor Savage has played poker professionally for 15 years, winning millions of dollars in the process. While he typically takes on humans, he faced a daunting new opponent in June: a powerful bot developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Facebook AI Research to trounce the world’s top players.\nSavage and a dozen other professional poker players — all male, all playing remotely online — spent hours per day over 12 days last month, hunched over their computer screens, trying their best to beat an artificial intelligence system dubbed Pluribus. The humans were paid for their work: $50,000 divided among them, depending on how well they fared.\nThey were playing the most popular form of poker: no limit Texas Hold ‘Em. There were six players per game (sometimes five humans would play against Pluribus; sometimes five versions of the bot would play against one human). Over the course of 10,000 hands of poker, the AI system was a fierce competitor, winning in both types of play by a decisive margin, according to co-creator Noam Brown, a research scientist at Facebook AI Research.\nSavage, who plays from his home office in West Deptford, New Jersey, didn’t do so hot, but he was impressed by Pluribus’ style.\n“It was clear the bot was a fundamentally sound, winning player,” he told CNN Business. “It mixed in strategies that most of the high stakes winning players would mix in.”\nThe feat represents the first time AI has beaten top human players in a poker game with this many players. Brown believes Pluribus provides a benchmark for the broader question of how we can get AI to deal with imperfect information in complicated environments — whether those environments are games or in the real world. A research paper about Pluribus was published Thursday in the journal Science.\nAI has been beating human players at games ranging from chess to Go to video games like Starcraft for years. Yet AI is typically attempting to dominate two-player games, and many of them (chess and Go in particular) are what are known as “complete information” games, since all the players have the same amount of information.\nIn poker, however, you can’t know all the information that your opponent knows, so it’s more difficult to anticipate what moves they may make — and it only gets more difficult the more players you have. These factors make poker a lot harder of a game for computers to master.\nBrown created Pluribus, which is Latin for “many,” with Tuomas Sandholm, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University who also founded several companies to commercialize his work in AI. The system was trained by having the AI play the game against copies of itself, without knowing how to play the game and improving as it went. The researchers previously unveiled a bot called Libratus (meaning “balanced” in Latin) in 2017 that beat four leading players at no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em, but that was in a two-player version of the game, making Pluribus’ success a clear advancement in game-playing AI.\nBrown thinks the technology behind Pluribus could eventually be used for applications that can involve multiple people and hidden information: think anything from fraud detection to self-driving cars.\nMichael Wellman, a professor at the University of Michigan who focuses on game theory, said Pluribus’s success against human players is a pretty big deal.\n“It’s an impressive technical achievement,” he said, adding that the AI underpinning Pluribus could be used for negotiations, cyber security or military strategy.\nIn fact, one of Sandholm’s companies, a startup called Strategy Robot that aims to come up with government applications for his AI game-playing work, already has a contract worth as much as $10 million with the US military. Brown said Pluribus would not be used for that particular application. (He says his employer is interested in this kind of research chiefly to drive forward our understanding of AI.)\nThough real-world applications for Pluribus may be a ways out, there are some poker-related tips that humans can take from it today, Brown said. For instance, it would, in some situations, bet much higher amounts of money than humans tend to — a move that pros indicated could be smart in some cases. And it went against conventional poker wisdom by determining that a strategy known as “donk betting,” where a player begins a round by betting after ending the previous round with a call, could be a good play.\n“I’ve obviously gotten better, that’s for sure,” Brown said.\nBusinesses make sure USS Billings crew gets a warm Montana welcome\nFWP to hold public information meetings on CWD in Libby", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 998, "token_count_with_eod": 999, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "Boost your Ecommerce Revenue Through Upselling and Cross Selling\n\nLast updated on March 23, 2018\n\nUpselling and Cross Selling is an art of sales strategy where you introduce/ recommend complementary or better products to your customer according to their need and what they are currently interested in.\n\nThese sales strategy has been used for decades by the seller’s and turns out to be an excellent strategy for not only seller’s but customers are also getting a lot of advantages.\n\nAccording to Forrester research analysis, upsell and cross-sell strategies are solely responsible for an average of 10-30% of e-commerce business revenues.\n\nNow, let’s jump into these topics and know what they actually do and are so important or your e-commerce business.\n\nWhat is Upselling?\n\nUpselling is a strategy whenever the seller encourages the customer to spend more on additional opportunities/products or services of the current consideration, for the purpose of making larger sales.\n\nWhat is Cross-Selling?\n\nCross Selling is a strategy whenever you try to recommend your customer to spend more on additional products/services that complement their existing products (generally complements the existing product but is a different product).\n\nUpselling Vs. Cross-Selling\n\nYou might be easily confused with these two selling strategies, however, cross-selling and upselling are different sales strategies.\n\nLet’s get you clear about these two strategies with the help of a simple example.\n\nSuppose, a customer is buying a laptop.\n\nUpsell strategy: A customer selects a laptop, now the customer is presented with the options of upgrading the process of RAM and processor. Here, the seller is giving an option or more we can say trying to sell equipment to make the laptop faster and more powerful.\n\nThe basic idea here is to sell more product to the customer of the current consideration at the same time.\n\nCross-sell strategy: Once the customer is done with upgrading the processor and RAM, now the seller provides them with the option like air cooler for laptop or printer. Additional products are the logical accessory for many consumers. Thus, this is known as cross-selling.\n\nImplementation through Add-on Sales & Bundle Sales.\n\nAdd-On Sales\n\nAdd-On sales are the extra little services such as\n\nProtection plans\n\nTech-support subscriptions\n\nProduct training\n\nThese services give your customers an extra piece of mind. This way, the strategy crucially increase the lifetime or loyalty value of your customer.\n\nAccording to the research, if you can analyze various price points, factoring in risks/cost conditions, you can increase your online profit up to 40%.\n\nBundle Sales\n\nBundle sales is a selling strategy when two or more products that complement each other can be added to the cart from the product page or checkout.\n\nProduct bundles are often sold at a discount price in order to raise the perceived value of buying multiple products at once.\n\nWays to get most out of Upselling and Cross Selling\n\nFirst Way\n\nTo make the best use of bundled products, an individual product must be there as well.\n\nAccording to the research done by Vineet Kumar of HBS, when the seller only makes the bundle products options available, revenues are reduced by 20%.\n\nSecond Way\n\nThird Way\n\nAs a seller, you need to offer your proposals in an obvious worse option, so that they can focus on the obvious option that actually works for them.\n\nThe reason behind this is that too many options make the customers confused and often leads them towards making no decision at all.\n\nAccording to the Cisco research, 78% of shoppers are taking the help of internet to surf and get valuable details on their purchased products in order to know that they are getting most out of that product.\n\nFourth Way\n\nYou should always add complementary products at the checkout page.\n\nWith the help of this cross-sell technique at the checkout page, you can increase your sales and revenue by up to 3%.\n\nBenefits of Upselling and Cross Selling\n\nIncrease online revenue\n\nIn online business, Upselling and Cross Selling is the best sales strategy to increase your online revenue and profit. The secret behind these strategies is that it takes less of your effort and money to implement and still leads to high success rate.\n\nYou can also search for statistics showing Upselling and Cross Selling leading online business to the high success rate and profitability.\n\nIncrease Average Order Value\n\nPromotion of products\n\nUpselling and Cross Selling not only helps you to increase your online revenue and AOV but also boosts your various products to your customers as needed.\n\nFor example, when a customer buys any digital electronics such as camera, you can recommend them with memory card or camera stand or high-quality lenses because there are the basic things that go with the camera. Not only your camera is on the verge of sale but you can also promote your other products as well.\n\nAlways, promote your products(relevant) to your customer as required.\n\nNote: Don’t Overdo it.\n\nIncrease customer loyalty\n\nWith the help of Cross Selling, you can increase the loyalty of your customer.\n\nLet’s make it clear with an insurance example if you are selling a group health insurance to your customer and then at a very competitive rate and then cross-sell them on life insurance then it tells them that your care and recommendation for them helps to solve their multiple problems.\n\nWhy go anywhere else when you can have all the needed solutions in one place?\n\nDevelop more leads\n\nAnother advantage of Cross Selling is that it helps you to generate and increase the leads for your online business. If you maintain your customer loyalty and make them cared for, then definitely they will recommend your products to someone else as well.\n\nThis way you are not only generating leads for your business but also getting the genuine lead referrals as well.\n\nWrapping it up\n\nI know, online business motives are always to focus on while increasing sales and average order value. But don’t overdo it. You also need to understand the experience of your customer’s behavior.\n\nYou must be careful while offering the array of products to your customers – right products at the right time make more sense. Do not confuse your customer with unwanted and random products.\n\nKeeping it simple, better experience and up to your customer’s mark will automatically lead your way towards increasing sales and revenue.

{"text": "Council accepts Official Community Plan after open forum\nThe City of Castlegar held a public hearing on Monday to discuss the Official Community Plan Bylaw 1150.\nCraig Lindsay\nCastlegar City Council and staff hear a presentation from planning technician Shannon Marshall (middle right in green) Tuesday evening during an open house at the Community Forum.\nThe hearing included a presentation from planning technician Shannon Marshall detailing the plan which will be used by municipal and regional governments to guide land use and community planning.\nThe plan reflects community values which had been identified through input from Castlegar City Council and consultation with the general public.\nAt the regular Council meeting, which took place after the hearing, the Official Community Plan, Bylaw 1150, was read and moved for a third time and adopted by Council.\n“It’s been adopted and is now a living document that continues on. You can update it now,” said mayor Lawrence Chernoff. “It’s more of a guideline really. Some of the things were looking at is the airport property, the infill [using existing vacant lots for development], all those kinds of things. It’s having a plan and somewhat a vision so that you look towards the future and that’s what this document does.”\nThe vision for the plan states: Castlegar is a small city with a big heart, and BIG ideas. It’s a place where opportunity meets lifestyle. Our community is shaped through innovation: innovation in sustainability, regional servicing, and technology. We area a community with a sense of place, created by people with purpose and passion surrounded by trees, mountains, and water, we have a consistently high quality landscape and airspeed. Excellence in energy action and conservation showcases our leadership in environmental stewardship. Our economic affordable, housing forms are diverse, neighbourhoods are complete and inclusive and the community is well serviced. We are a connection point that unites the region – a hub from which to explore life’s adventure. Nature and technology are our enablers. We have opened our eyes to what’s possible and live happily ever after in Castlegar.\n“This is what the plan details where you can put things in the proper perspective. Multiple dwelling areas, single housing and all those, so there is a place in the community for these things to develop,” said Chernoff. “So as you get development permits, it allows you to develop these areas. We can see what will fit in different areas.”\nThe turnout at Thursday open house was unfortunate small, but Counsellor Deb McIntosh said that the public has had plenty of other opportunities where they have contributed to the plan.\n“I’m a little disappointed to see no one here for the public hearing, although there has been some really good, upstanding citizens that came and put a lot of hard work into the document, a lot of thought, a lot of back and forth,” she said. “This was something that was done by the citizens not by council. This has been directed by the people that pay the taxes and live in the community. We’re really proud of the document. We think Shannon did a great job and we’re pleased that people came forward to help with it.”\n“The Plan has been in the making for two years. The public has had some great ideas with what they would like to see or not see in the community,” he said. “It’s really a guideline – something to follow so you don’t get the hodgepodge. You need to have planning. You need to be able to set your community up so it has a place to grow but to grow in the proper places.”\nOne of the areas in Castlegar that the Plan looks at for growth is the airport area.\n“We’ve got that big, nice 37 acres at the airport that were putting in water over there – that’s all part of the airport development plan. That helps the economy of the community and that’s really what you are trying to do,” said Chernoff. “It’s the same thing as density. If someone wants to build an apartment where do you thing the best place would be? It might be downtown because you’ve already got the infrastructure in place so let’s make it a little denser and a little bit bigger. We are longitudinal here so let’s compress that and maybe go up or do whatever we need to do.”\nThe mayor said that planning for the future is crucial in growing Castlegar.\n“We’re really looking for economic development,” he said. “To sustain this community over the long term and move it away from a one horse town, or one resource town and that’s where the planning comes into place. It’s like the gaming centre – that’s jobs and those kind of things. All those things we can do on the airport property gives us more jobs, more taxation, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”\nA Heartfelt Plea From the Parents Oof Kienan Hebert\nToy Run draws great turnout for great cause", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 1019, "token_count_with_eod": 1020, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

I hand him a bean, (he's too polite to refuse it), he curls his lips back so that they don't touch the offensive vegetal matter, and takes it gingerly in his teeth. With the bean extending from his teeth like a stubby cigarette, Ray tiptoes from the kitchen (like I won't notice) and drops the icky thing in the front hall. It is truly the funniest thing.\nHaving said that, I thought I was safe yesterday, when I removed some tiny bags of tiny carrots (the kind you put in a lunchbox) and a bag of spinach from the refrigerator and put them on the counter in preparation for making soup. I went upstairs briefly, heard some odd noise coming from downstairs and called, \"Ray! Ray!\" When there was no response, I descended the stair. There was Ray in the front hall (he owns this area), tearing into one of the tiny bags of tiny carrots. There were carrots scattered everywhere. He must have swung his head after ripping open the bag, making a lovely, orange, eight-foot crescent moon on the rug.\nI removed the bag from his teeth, collected the carrots, then offered him one (Yeah, I know I shouldn't have but I just had to see if this was vegetable that he actually liked).

{"text": "Home›Viewpoint›Remembering War Special Series : Part One – Remembering the rotten fruits of World War One\nRemembering War Special Series : Part One – Remembering the rotten fruits of World War One\nBy Abdul Wahid\nThe present day misery of Gaza, Syria and Iraq began in that war.\nAs people in Britain and Europe remember mark the anniversary of the armistice, there is little in the way of critical reflection about the horrors of a war that saw tens of millions killed and injured. One would question – looking at Iraq, Syria and Gaza – whether the world has learnt any lessons at all.\nSo it is worth reflecting on the legacies of this war that still resonates today.\nIn particular that World War One shaped the chaos, oppression and conflict of the modern Middle East; and laid the seeds for the Zionist occupation of Palestine.\nSowing the seeds of misery – Sykes-Picot, Client-Regimes and the Abolition of the Caliphate\nThe modern Middle East is rife with wars, oppression and injustice. It is a series of nation states artificially constructed in the aftermath of World War One. They are ruled by client regimes, initially installed at that time, that serve themselves as well as a narrow elite and foreign interests – instead of serving the people of the region. These rulers are widely hated by the people they preside over. They use their armed forces for two main purposes. Firstly, to suppress their own populations – particularly when they see a flicker of political criticism or Islamic sentiments; and secondly to serve any Western military interests that are asked of them.\nThe most enduring of these client-regimes are the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Saudi Arabia was conceived in Britain’s foreign office around a century ago and has since then squandered huge amounts of material wealth. Its ruling family has enjoyed close ties with Britain and the United States ever since. Jordan is a similar family business, installed by the British after World War One. Britain installed members of the same family, widely seen as traitors to Islam and Muslims, to rule Egypt, Iraq and briefly Syria – only to see their dynasty toppled in these places by coups and counter-coups variously sponsored by the Britain, France and the US.\nIt is worth reflecting that people living under the Ottoman state – even in its era of decline – enjoyed more stable and less oppressive lives than people living in the Middle East over the past century. For several centuries prior to that, under the Caliphate, the region was the home of a great civilization that presented a unique society in which communities of different racial and religious backgrounds lived peacefully and in harmony.\nIn his 2009 essay, ‘Islam and its Discontents’, Brenden Clifford of the Bevin Society wrote:\nIslam, one of the major cultures of the world, has been without a state to uphold its position in the world-order for close on 90 years. The Islamic state was destroyed by Britain in the course of the war, which it declared on Germany in 1914. It has been argued that the destruction of the Islamic state was one of the purposes for which Britain declared war on Germany. And the destruction of the Islamic state appears to me to be the ultimate cause of the condition of the world which the USA and Britain call the War on Terror.\nHe reminds the reader that:\n‘A little over a century ago the German Kaiser paid a state visit to the Ottoman Empire, met the Sultan, and declared that a strong Muslim state was a necessary part of any stable order in the world’.\nGerman policy as set out by Count Von Moltke (later a Field Marshal of the German state) in his Essays, Speeches, And Memoirs, 1893 (Vol 1, p272) argued that it was possible to regenerate the Ottoman Empire as such from Islamic roots.\nThe British feared the impact of this in relation to its colonies – in particular in India – so pursued a policy of expansion of their Empire from India to Egypt. Indeed, once the Ottomans did enter the war, declaring it to be a Jihad, Kitchener had real fears this call would spread to India, Egypt and Sudan.\nBut at the outset of the war, the Ottoman policy was neutrality. It was in no financial or political position to engage in a war. However, Britain refused to accept this position and refused to accept any overtures of alliance with it – and set about provocation of the Ottoman state, particularly through allying with a hostile Russia.\nBy 5th November 1914, Britain declared war, in conjunction with Russia, by alleging an Ottoman attack on Russia in the Black Sea. Clifford writes scathingly that it was ‘an allegation made so obscurely and furtively that there is reason to suspect that it was comparable to Hitler’s allegation of a Polish attack on Germany in September 1939’!\nFailing to see the expected rapid collapse of the Ottoman defences, Britain found allies in the form of Sharif Hussein – the ancestor of the Jordanian dynasty and Ibn Saud – the founder of modern day Saudi Arabia.\nIn 1916, under the Sykes Picot accord, the British and French governments agreed to a division of the spoils of the Middle East between the two states, drawing ‘a line in the sand’ between Acre and Kirkuk – the British to take what was south of the line, and the French what was north of it.\nAfter much wheeling, dealing and double crossing between the two, the regions of Syria and Lebanon fell to France, whilst Transjordan, Iraq and the Hejaz went to Britain. The original agreements were meant to share Palestine. Britain managed to secure a mandate over the region, but was later forced by America and France to share the newly discovered oil revenues from Mosul shortly after the war.\nThe events of the war and the subsequent ‘peace conferences’ afterwards not only carved up the Ottoman state, it precipitated a collapse internally, ending with the abolition of the Caliphate in 1924.\nThe following 90 years have seen wars between these artificially constructed states; repressive regimes tyrannising their people; the material wealth of the region haemorrhaging away from the people who had a right over it; and various periods of occupation.\nDr. Abdul Wahid is a regular contributor to New Civilisation.

{"text": "Sometimes we all need to keep to a budget, it’s a fact of life. So when it comes to replacing a broken boiler, how can you find that magic balance between quality and value for money? We’ve compared two of the cheapest Combi boilers on the market to give you a helping hand.\nBoth brands hold a respectable position in the UK domestic boiler industry. Vokèra have been producing heating solutions for 30 years while Glow-worm have been on the scene for over 80 years. In addition, both are backed by global parent companies the Riello Group (Vokèra) and Vaillant (Glow-worm) so have a solid financial foundation and established customer support procedures.\nFrom our research, it seems that these brands fall down when it comes to overall reliability and the quality of their components when compared the high end models like Worcester Bosch or Vaillant. They are not, however, as heavily criticised as some other brands and seem to be generally considered as ‘average’. Where they come together is their offering of ‘cost conscious’ or ‘value for money’ boilers. So, if you’re on a budget and looking for a no frills boiler to get the job done, they could be the right move for you.\nLet’s take a closer look at the most popular budget boiler from each brand to find out.\nBoth these boilers are recommended for 1-2 bedroom homes with 1 bathroom and up to 10 radiators. As with all Combi boilers, they do not require a storage cylinder or tank as they heat water on demand. For that reason they are not suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms and a high demand for hot water.\nand serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.\nThese Vokèra and Glow-worm boilers are at the lower end of the price scale and both tend to fall somewhere between £550 – £650 (on average), so there is very little daylight between them. This Vokèra boiler is usually a little cheaper at around £550 while the Glow-worm averages around £650. The installation costs of each boiler will vary depending on the installer you choose so be sure to get quotes from at least 2 different companies.\nRemember, there may be other costs to consider such as accessories like TRVs or new controls so you will need a professional to carry out a survey of your home to be sure of exactly what’s needed.\nIf you already have a Vokèra boiler in place, it’s worth knowing that all Vokèra’s boilers include standard pipework fittings. This means that replacing an older Vokèra with a new Vokèra could simplify and lower the cost of installation.\nBoth companies have a team of Gas Safe registered service engineers on hand to support you if anything goes wrong. It’s worth noting that Glow-worm offer a considerably longer standard warranty of 7 years, compared to Vokèra’s 2 year warranty, meaning that you get much more peace of mind.\nAs with most Combi boilers, both these brands claim that their boiler offers compact, cupboard fit. The Vokèra boiler, however, is slightly smaller in terms of dimensions and weighs just 27 kg which is 6 kg less than the Glow-worm boiler. Of course, the lift weight won’t matter to you as a homeowner but an easier installation for the engineer can mean reduced labour costs.\nIn addition to the standard thermostats and wireless controls that both brands offer, each of these boilers is compatible with smart controls that enable you to control your heating from anywhere via a smartphone or tablet app. Vokèra is compatible with BeSmart which can manage up to 8 different heating zones from anywhere in the world, includes weather compensation and pre-programmable comfort levels. It also features automatic alerts for both the customer and Vokèra Service Centre if something goes wrong with the boiler.\nGlow-worm have their own app based control system called MiGo which delivers all the same functions as BeSmart. It’s also a self-learning system that adapts to the energy requirements of your home and monitors and adjusts energy consumption.\nThere’s no arguing with numbers and, if saving money is top of your priorities then the smaller, lightweight Vokèra is the cheaper option. However, when it comes to boilers you really do get what you pay for. For a little more money the Glow-worm offers 3 years longer in warranty and comes with higher recommendations and reviews from both homeowners and engineers.\nSo the winner of the Battle of the Budget Boilers is clear to see: the Glow-worm Energy Combi.\nWhether you’re looking to install one of these boilers or any other, you can get up to 3 free quotes from trusted boiler engineers in your area with no-obligation and no hassle.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1002, "token_count_with_eod": 1003, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Harrington Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Delaware with a digital tribute on its publications website.\n\nA team including the University of Delaware’s Larry Cogburn and Cathy Wu recently published a paper in PLOS One demonstrating that adipose tissue may be more than just a place for the body to store fat it may actually be an important organ that contributes to novel endocrine signaling, which involves the blood clotting mechanism, and the synthesis or export of fatty acids.\n\nThe paper was published in collaboration with Jean Simon and his colleagues at INRA, the French National Institute for Agricultural Research.\n\nCogburn, professor of animal and food sciences at UD, explains that 30 years ago, INRA geneticist Bernard Leclercq created two experimental lines of meat-type chickens as genetic models to identify the mechanisms controlling abdominal fatness, a complex trait that is likely governed by interactions among multiple genes controlling different endocrine and metabolic pathways.\n\nThe two genotypes, known as the FL (fat line) and LL (lean line), have provided a rich foundation for research over the past three decades a foundation that has been made even more robust in recent years by the development of powerful genomic tools and bioinformatics capabilities at UD.\n\n“The field of bioinformatics has provided us with new tools for accessing previously inaccessible clues to biological mysteries,” says Cathy Wu, the Unidel Edward G. Jefferson Chair of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at UD and director of the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.\n\nIn fact, the first author of the PLOS One paper, Chris Resnyk a graduate student in Cogburn’s lab received a certificate in bioinformatics from the Center’s graduate program in bioinformatics and computational biology.\n\nThe research team examined differential gene expression in the abdominal fat of juvenile FL and LL chickens using next-generation RNA sequencing, which provides a genome-wide snapshot of the presence and quantity of RNA at a given point in time. The differentially expressed adipose genes were then used for extensive mapping to metabolic pathways and gene interaction networks.\n\nThe researchers were very surprised at what they found.\n\n“The accepted belief has been that in both birds and humans, fat is primarily made in the liver and transported to adipose tissue for storage,” Cogburn says. “But we found that a large quantity of lipids was actually being synthesized in the abdominal fat of FL chickens. This suggests that in situ lipogenesis in chickens could contribute more substantially to the expansion of visceral fat mass than was previously thought.”\n\nIn other words, it is easier for the genetically fat chickens to become even fatter.\n\nThe researchers also found differential expression of numerous genes involved in hemostasis, or blood clotting, in the fat and lean chickens, with the majority of hemostasis genes up-regulated in visceral fat 0f the LL. The results suggest that these coagulation factors could play a novel role in limiting the expansion of fat mass in the lean chickens.\n\nThe detailed findings shared in the 41-page research article indicate that the genetic deck is stacked against the fat chickens, while the lean chickens are blessed with genes that favor reduced synthesis and enhanced breakdown of lipids, accompanied by greater accumulation of protein in breast muscle.\n\nCogburn urges caution in making too many assumptions about human obesity based on chicken genetics, since chickens have evolved different mechanisms that control food intake, lipogenesis and adiposity.\n\n“Chickens lack five of the adipokines cell-signaling proteins secreted by fat tissue that are known to play a role in appetite, energy metabolism and adipogenesis in humans,” he says.\n\n“However, this work has provided us with a unique avian model of juvenile-onset obesity and glucose-insulin imbalance that could provide new insights into these issues in humans and lead to better ways to prevent and treat one of the 21st century’s most significant public health problems the world-wide obesity epidemic.”", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 917, "token_count_with_eod": 918, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

Despite what the world of business and self-help may tell you, there is no single correct definition, as success is a subjective.\nShe earns more money than me. I’m married, and he’s not. I’m in better shape than her.\nSocial comparison – we all engage in it. It helps us define our status by referencing others in our peer groups.\nIf you’re feeling down about yourself, social comparison can provide you with a healthy boost of self-esteem. Why else would we be so fascinated with how celebrities look without the enhancement of makeup and Photoshop? It removes the illusion that they are a superior class.\nHumans do not like feeling as though they are average. Social comparison therefore acts as a means of validation or motivation.\nAfter all, should one see peers excelling, it may motivate to seek greater personal and professional satisfaction. Where social comparison becomes problematic is when it feeds into a culture of cutthroat competition in which individuals will do whatever it takes to get ahead of others and when it creates unrealistic expectations of what you should achieve, particularly in reference to various junctures in your life.\nA friend of mine posted on Facebook that he feels like a failure. He stated that nothing has seemed to go right for him lately despite his best efforts, and he feels little motivation to continue pursuing his passions.\nFollowing his post there was a litany of comments offering support and encouragement, and while I was tempted to do the same, I thought: Had he ever asked himself by whose standards he had failed?\nWhile the emotion fuelling his aforementioned sentiment is valid, his cognitive rationale is actually flawed for two important reasons.\nFirst, a series of failures at a single point in your life or surrounding a single aspect of your life does not define you as a failure overall.\nMarilyn Monroe was rejected by several modelling agencies and movie production houses for not having a memorable look before she got her big break. We all fail – it’s how we handle them that defines if we are failures.\nIf you allow yourself to wallow in misery and never gain back the confidence to try again, you fail yourself as new opportunities will always be available.\nSecond, if he had put forth his best effort but things didn’t work out, he is not to blame nor is he a failure. Sometimes the answer from the universe is simply a “no” to which we cannot hold ourselves personally accountable.\nIn my own life, there have been instances at which I’ve sincerely given it my all but have inevitably been confronted by the proverbial glass ceiling. While failure in any situation is upsetting, if I know I’ve tried my best, that’s truly all I can do. No one is ever fully in control or has influence on the outcome.\nIf, on the other hand, after much reflection, one acknowledges there is room for improvement and could have tried harder, this acknowledgment alone removes the failure connotation. It instead turns the situation into one for personal growth and development, which, as we know in the world of psychological maturity, is always an indication of success.\nSuccess – the term is loaded with meaning. Despite what the world of business and selfhelp may tell you, there is no single correct definition, as success is a subjective.\nSuccess for one person could be accumulating a great deal of wealth, while for someone living in an impoverished country, it could merely be surviving one more day without access to food and clean drinking water.\nIt is no one’s right to tell you what you should achieve in your life by various age-related milestones according to some arbitrary definition of what constitutes a successful life.\nIf you’re not married by the time you’re 30, but you’re happily single – fantastic. If you are perfectly content working in retail management for the rest of your days, that’s great. If you are a career-oriented woman who has never desired motherhood, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.\nAll of these choices reflect what values you hold as paramount. All of these choices represent your personal views of success.\nWhile Western society has long tried to prescribe what its citizens should be accomplishing by certain times in their lives, these prescriptions are unfair, unrealistic and outdated.\nThey have not been altered to match our current socioeconomic climate. They have not been altered to incorporate changed social norms with regard to women in the workplace or variations on the traditional family unit.\nBut most importantly, these prescriptions are based on a fatal flaw: they assume we all have the same starting place in life and the same access to resources.\nSo try something different the next time you engage in social comparison. Look not for evidence that you should be jealous of others and look not for evidence that you are failing in some capacity. Instead, reflect on the successes of others with kindness and positivity and ask yourself whether their successes represent successes you too would value in your own life.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1003, "token_count_with_eod": 1004, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Adjustment refers to those changes in expenditure, saving, and production that are needed to produce a sustainable balance of payments situation, namely, one where any deficit on current account can be financed by normal capital inflows.\nMost balance of payments problems in non-oil developing countries are not temporary and cannot be tackled by financing alone. Where adjustment is required, a certain amount of financing may also be desirable to avoid abrupt changes in the economy. In most cases the financial assistance that the Fund makes available to a member is associated with an economic adjustment program. Indeed, the Fund is obliged by its Articles of Agreement, and by the fact that the resources at its disposal are limited and must revolve, to satisfy itself that the economic program it supports will, in the medium term, bring about adjustment and a viable balance of payments. The adjustment policies that typically form such a program were discussed recently in “Issues in the use of Fund resources” by Andrew Crockett in the June 1982 issue of Finance and Development.\nRepublic of Korea. Various factors combined during the late 1970s in Korea to produce a rapidly deteriorating balance of payments. A policy of cheap credit to encourage an ambitious investment program, particularly in the heavy and chemical industries, led to excessive demand pressures. On the supply side, there were shortages of skilled labor, in part because of a speculative housing boom that occurred when many construction workers were departing for the Middle East. Price and wage inflation rose, and external competitiveness was eroded—with adverse effects on exports and, hence, output growth.\nSome measures were introduced in 1979 to moderate domestic demand pressures, but these could not prevent a deterioration of the balance of payments, partly because of unforeseen external developments—especially the increase in oil prices, slower growth of export markets, and rising protectionist tendencies abroad. The current account deficit continued to rise and, as the immediate prospect was for a further increase, a stabilization program supported by two successive stand-by arrangements with the Fund was initiated in early 1980.\nThe main policy changes in 1980 included a substantial increase in interest rates, a depreciation of the exchange rate, higher energy prices, and more restrictive fiscal and monetary policies. The impact of these on growth was compounded by civil disturbances and a major crop failure; as a result, real gross national product (GNP), which rose by 6 per cent in 1979, fell by about the same magnitude in 1980. Partly because of these developments, financial policies were eased somewhat in the latter part of 1980, but considerable financial stringency prevailed for the year as a whole. Inflation still accelerated temporarily in 1980, under the impact of the depreciation, the increases in energy prices, and the crop failure. The current account deficit widened, but only by about half of the price-induced increases in the oil import bill, implying that substantial external adjustment took place.\nIn 1981, policies continued to emphasize prudent demand management and wage moderation through an extensive public education campaign. The rewards of the stabilization efforts were mainly reaped in 1981 when aggregate output growth was resumed, reflecting especially rapid export growth through the third quarter of the year, as a result of the gains in competitiveness achieved in 1980. Inflation also decelerated sharply and the current account deficit declined. However, private investment remained sluggish and the growth of exports has slowed since the fourth quarter of 1981, resulting from both a weakening of world demand and a decline in the price competitiveness of exports.\nPeru. Between late 1977 and the end of 1980 Peru had three continuous stand-by arrangements with the Fund. Expansionary policies since the early 1970s and rapidly growing public expenditures had put increasing pressure on prices and the balance of payments, both of which were aggravated by the increase in the oil price. Inflation rose sharply between 1973 and 1976, the balance of payments current account deficit rose to 11 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 1975, external debt grew rapidly, and international reserves fell. The exchange rate was allowed to appreciate by 25 per cent in real terms between 1975 and 1977 in an effort to curb the rise in inflation.\nThe stabilization program introduced in 1976 broke down in 1977 under pressure for more government expenditure, and a similar fate befell the program of late 1977. The third attempt, in 1978, was successful, however. The public sector deficit was brought down from an average of 10 per cent of GDP in 1975–77 to 2 per cent in 1979, and the exchange rate was devalued and attached to a crawling peg. The balance of payments current account deficit fell rapidly, helped by large improvements in the terms of trade in 1979 and 1980. The adjustment was successful in that the balance of payments improved, while saving (both public and private) rose without much fall in investment, and output growth was quickly resumed. But inflation remained high, partly because of corrective price increases, and it still proved difficult to keep the public sector deficit under control. Some of the earlier problems reemerged in 1981.\nPortugal. The balance of payments difficulties of Portugal arose from the 1974 oil price rise, the loss of its African colonies, and some consequences of the 1974 revolution—such as rapid growth in real wages and public expenditure. International competitiveness deteriorated because the depreciation of the exchange rate did not keep pace with the more rapid growth of wages and prices in Portugal than elsewhere. This, together with lack of confidence, discouraged the repatriation of migrant workers’ earnings and caused capital outflows, especially in 1977. Although the public sector deficit had grown rapidly from 1973 to 1977, there was not much generalized excess demand; unemployment was high and there was excess capacity in the export sector (including tourism).\nSources: IMF, International Financial Statistics. Additional data from national sources.\nPeriod of extended facility and upper credit tranche program.\nThe economic program supported by Fund lending in 1978–79 therefore emphasized expenditure-switching rather than expenditure-reduction. The major instruments were faster depreciation of the exchange rate, wage restraint, relaxation of import controls, and an increase in interest rates. The balance of payments improved dramatically, mainly because of sharp increases in exports, workers’ remittances, and capital inflows, stimulated especially by the exchange rate and interest rate changes. The growth rate of output rose in 1979 after falling for two years. Both saving and investment were higher as a percentage of GDP in 1979–80 than in the years of balance of payments crisis, with the increase being greater for saving and, within total saving, for saving by the private sector. It was also intended to reduce the public sector deficit, although the outcome was that it increased. Some of the improvement in the balance of payments was a temporary stock adjustment. Partly because of this—and because of the rise in oil prices, continued structural weaknesses, and the high pressure of domestic demand—the current account deficit increased again in 1980 and 1981.\nPanama. With the exception of two short gaps, Panama has had Fund stand-by arrangements in the upper credit tranches since June 1978, following first credit tranche arrangements in 1973–76 and 1977–78. The problem can be traced to adverse external developments in 1974–78: the world recession; the fall in prices for its major export, sugar; and the decrease in private investment because of uncertainty about the Canal. The authorities countered the recession by increasing public expenditure, especially on large investment projects. The public sector deficit rose to nearly 19 per cent of GDP in 1976; as most of it was financed abroad, official external debt rose rapidly, reaching 82 per cent of GDP at the end of 1978. Since the U.S. dollar circulates freely in Panama, the overall balance of payments is always in equilibrium, and the current account deficit is automatically limited to the availability of finance and is not in itself a problem.\nThe aims of the economic programs supported by the Fund were to reduce the public sector deficit, and hence the growth of official external debt, and to create the conditions for the recovery of private investment. Public investment was reduced, as was expenditure on emergency employment-creating measures, and new revenue measures increased receipts. The ratio of official external debt to GDP declined to 62 per cent at the end of 1981. Output growth from 1978 was more satisfactory than it had been in the mid-1970s, partly because of the recovery of private investment that had resulted from the conclusion of the Canal treaties.\nGabon. Large imbalances arose in Gabon in 1973–76 when public investment grew very rapidly following the first oil price increase. The Government deficit rose to over 20 per cent of GDP; inflation was also over 20 per cent and external debt grew rapidly. The expansionary phase came to an end in 1977 and was followed by a recession and financial crisis. A stabilization program supported by a stand-by arrangement was introduced in 1978. The overall government balance was brought into surplus and inflation declined, but there was a large drop in output in both the oil and non-oil sectors.\nTo consolidate the gains that were made, a medium-term program supported by a precautionary arrangement under the extended Fund facility was introduced in 1980. The main aims were to resume orderly growth with relatively low inflation; to reduce external debt; to reestablish adequate reserves; to expand the production base of the non-oil economy; and to use in a more orderly fashion the enlarged resources derived from the second oil price rise. The principal policy instruments were the investment plan, more efficient pricing, and wage and credit restraint. Fund resources were to be made available in case of need, but this need did not arise and they were not utilized.\nThe objectives of the program were mostly achieved. Real output in the non-oil sector grew again, although at a rather low rate, partly because sharp declines in export volume and prices, brought on by a fall in demand, affected the uranium, manganese, and forestry sectors. There were also some problems in implementing the investment plan, and the modest structural change achieved has not yet been reflected in growth because of production lags. Government expenditure targets were largely achieved. Revenue performance improved markedly, helped by an unexpected depreciation of the CFA franc against the U.S. dollar, in terms of which oil revenues are denominated. As a result, the Treasury position continued to improve, with the government budget recording large surpluses. External debt declined and reserves were built up to a relatively satisfactory level.\nNote: The June 1980 arrangement, under the extended Fund facility, expired in December 1982.\nSri Lanka. The external position of Sri Lanka deteriorated over the 20 years previous to the mid-1970s because of a serious worsening of the terms of trade and stagnation of the export-oriented agricultural sector. Persistent balance of payments difficulties led to an increasingly restrictive exchange and trade system with a bias against exports. Price controls, consumer subsidies, and food rationing distorted prices and reduced saving and investment.\nThe programs supported by a stand-by arrangement with the Fund in 1977–78 and an extended arrangement in 1979–81 aimed to reduce controls over prices, trade, and payments; to bring prices, including the exchange rate and interest rates, closer to market clearing levels; to shift budgetary resources from subsidies to investment; to increase saving; and to raise the growth rate. They began well, with the growth rate, investment ratio, and foreign aid inflows all rising, and the overall balance of payments in equilibrium. However, some signs of excess demand emerged toward the end of 1979 and became widespread in 1980, mainly because of the large increase in public expenditure, especially investment. The adverse effects of this on the balance of payments and inflation were compounded by the effects of drought on tree crop output and the deterioration in the terms of trade. Mainly as a result of restrictive fiscal and monetary measures, the situation improved in 1981. Despite the setbacks of 1980 and problems remaining in the export sector, the programs of 1977–81, as a whole, contributed to raising the growth rate of the economy and to increasing its efficiency by replacing controls with price incentives.\nBurma. For almost a decade up to 1974, the economy of Burma hardly grew at all in per capita terms. Agriculture dominated the economy, and agricultural output per capita fell—mainly because producer prices were kept fixed while input prices rose—and there was relatively little investment. Exports, which were based on agricultural production, therefore suffered and the volume of imports had to be held down. The tax base was similarly eroded and the Government had recourse to bank borrowing which, together with increased bank borrowing by state economic enterprises, exacerbated inflationary pressures after 1972. In 1975 there was a change in policy, and the Government sought to provide more incentives to increase output and mobilize resources. As a result output grew more rapidly, helped by favorable weather, but inflation also rose, partly because of corrective price increases. In the mid-1970s the Government sought to raise the investment rate and to borrow much more abroad on concessional terms.\nNote: The June 1981 arrangement, a stand-by, expired in June 1982.\n1Years beginning April 1 except consumer prices, which are calendar years.\nIn support of this program, Burma had stand-by arrangements with the Fund from 1977 to 1979. The size of the foreign trade sector in relation to the economy as a whole grew sharply, especially on the import side. The current account deficit grew, as planned, and was covered by a larger capital inflow so that the overall balance was kept under control. Growth continued at a satisfactory rate, and inflation was low, partly because of price controls. There continued to be many inflexibilities in the economy aggravated by the controls on imports and prices. A major problem was the unused capacity in many state economic enterprises arising from a shortage of imports; another was the rising public sector deficit and consequential inflationary pressures associated with the controlled output prices of the state undertakings. A program supported by a new Fund arrangement was introduced in 1981, with the aim of liberalizing imports and prices, albeit at some temporary cost in terms of a higher current account deficit and inflation. The evidence to date suggests that it was broadly successful.\nAlthough these seven countries are not necessarily representative of all countries with Fund-supported programs, nor even of those where a reasonable measure of adjustment took place, their experiences can illustrate a number of general aspects of adjustment following Fund-supported programs.\nThe nature of the initial problems and their causes differ widely. In some cases there was an unsustainable current account deficit caused primarily by excessive domestic demand pressures (Korea, Peru, and Sri Lanka in 1980). In Portugal the rise in the current account deficit was more the result of a decline in international competitiveness than of excess demand. However, excess demand also played the major role in creating the external problems of Panama and Gabon. Official external debt rose rapidly as ambitious public sector investment programs were financed mostly abroad; official international reserves also fell to low levels. The existing balance of payments difficulties of all these countries were aggravated by external developments, especially terms of trade movements and the weak growth of export markets. Sri Lanka until 1980 and Burma had rather different problems. They both wished to increase investment and liberalize imports and prices (Burma only from 1981) in order to grow more rapidly. Although they did not initially have balance of payments problems, the change of strategy could have created some unless appropriate adjustment had taken place.\nThe main policy instruments that are included in successful programs reflect the differences in the nature of the problem and its causes. Thus the programs of Korea, Peru, Sri Lanka in 1981, Panama, and Gabon (especially 1978–79) emphasized the restraint of demand. Since private sector investment was the major cause of the excess demand in Korea, credit restraint was the centerpiece of the program there. The main problem in the other countries was the overall deficit of the public sector, which they sought to reduce. Discrete exchange rate changes, together with further currency depreciation in some cases, supported demand restraint in Korea and Peru, and also formed a central part of the programs in Portugal and Sri Lanka. As befitted their initial position of balance of payments equilibrium with unsatisfactory growth, the main policy measure in Sri Lanka (until 1981) and Burma was an increase in the rate of public investment. This was supported by the liberalization of imports and prices (from 1981 in Burma). Most other countries also sought to improve economic efficiency by reducing price distortions. In Gabon special emphasis was placed on the structure of the investment plan—to improve the efficiency of the reduced level of investment and, hence, to increase the growth rate of the non-oil economy.\nThe link between the type of problem and the type of program can also be seen in the actual outcome. The growth of GDP improved in five out of seven countries (Portugal, Panama, Gabon after 1978, Sri Lanka, and Burma) and declined temporarily only in Korea and Peru. This division corresponds roughly to that between programs emphasizing demand restraint (Korea, Peru, Sri Lanka in 1981, Panama, and Gabon in 1978–79) and others, except that Panama achieved satisfactory growth despite considerable fiscal restraint. In the countries where the growth rate rose, the increase in supply was brought about through various channels: the utilization of excess capacity in Portugal; improved external competitiveness in Portugal and Sri Lanka; a rise in private investment in Panama and Sri Lanka; a rise in public investment in Burma and Sri Lanka; and improved resource allocation in Portugal, Sri Lanka, and Gabon. Some of these changes, especially the improvement in competitiveness, also raised supply in South Korea and Peru, even though other factors caused the growth rate to decline temporarily.\nSuccessful adjustment is more likely to occur if policy is flexible in the face of unexpected developments, as is suggested by the experience of these countries. Some of them were able to take advantage of favorable changes in their environment. For example, in Peru the terms of trade improved, and in Panama the Canal treaties were concluded. Although Gabon failed to profit from the oil price rise in 1974, it did not repeat this mistake after the second oil price rise. On the other hand, successful adjustment can still be achieved even when unfavorable events occur. In 1980 Korea experienced a crop failure, a reduction in export demand, a deterioration in its terms of trade, higher interest rates, and civil unrest, and yet kept on the path to successful adjustment. Unexpected developments, even favorable ones, can undermine adjustment efforts, but a flexible policy response can still produce the desired changes.\nEven when adjustment is generally successful, some difficulties can emerge. Some of the countries discussed failed to keep demand pressures fully under control, either during (Portugal and Sri Lanka up to 1980) or after (Peru) the period of the arrangement with the Fund. Although the programs in Portugal and Sri Lanka did not always emphasize demand restraint, successful adjustment could have been undermined if demand pressures had not been kept under control. (It almost was undermined in Sri Lanka until restrictive policies were introduced in 1981.) In Peru the re-emergence of demand pressures in 1981 led to a new extended arrangement with the Fund, which was approved in June 1982. Other outstanding problems included the deteriorating international competitiveness of Korea during 1981; the difficulty of improving the quality of public investment in Gabon, Burma, and Sri Lanka; and price distortions in a number of countries.\nAdjustment should be a continuous process. Even if major efforts are made from time to time, at all other times policy should be sufficiently flexible to react to changing circumstances so that the most favorable environment for growth, inflation, and the balance of payments is maintained. Most of the countries discussed had either an extended arrangement or a series of shorter stand-by arrangements with the Fund. The first attempts at stabilization and adjustment were not always successful (as in Korea in 1979, Peru in 1976–77, and Portugal in 1977), mainly because the extent of the problem was underestimated. After some success in adjusting was achieved, further problems came close to reversing it in these cases. This suggests that successful adjustment is most likely to occur when political support is mobilized to sustain the stabilization program over a period of years. The longer the introduction of the program is delayed, the greater the effort needed to see it through, and the greater the chance of failure.\nWilliamR.

{"text": "Robin Gibb, one of the three singing brothers of the Bee Gees, the long-running Anglo-Australian pop group whose chirping falsettos and hook-laden disco hits like “Jive Talkin’ ” and “You Should Be Dancing” shot them to worldwide fame in the 1970s, died on Sunday in London. He was 62 and lived in Thame, Oxfordshire, England.\nThe cause was complications of cancer and intestinal surgery, his family said in a statement.\nMr. Gibb had been hospitalized for intestinal problems several times in the last two years. Cancer had spread from his colon to his liver, and in the weeks before his death he had pneumonia and for a while was in a coma.\nMr. Gibb was the second Bee Gee and third Gibb brother to die. His fraternal twin and fellow Bee Gee, Maurice Gibb, died of complications of a twisted intestine in 2003 at 53. The youngest brother, Andy, who had a successful solo career, was 30 when he died of heart failure, in 1988.\nWith brilliant smiles, polished funk and adenoidal close harmonies, the Bee Gees — Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb — were disco’s ambassadors to Middle America in the 1970s, embodying the peacocked look of the time in their open-chested leisure suits and gold medallions.\nThey sold well over 100 million albums and had six consecutive No. 1 singles from 1977 to 1979. They were also inextricably tied to the disco era’s defining movie, “Saturday Night Fever,” a showcase for their music that included the hit “Stayin’ Alive,” its propulsive beat in step with the strut of the film’s star, John Travolta.\nBarry, the oldest brother, was the dominant Bee Gee for most of the group’s existence. But the lead singer for many of the early hits was Robin, whose breaking voice, gaunt frame and gloomy eyes were well suited to convey adolescent fragility. “I Started a Joke” (with the second line, “Which started the whole world crying”), “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You,” “Massachusetts” and other heavy-hearted songs brought the Bee Gees to the top of the charts as one of the British Invasion’s most musically conservative groups.\nRobin Hugh Gibb and his twin, Maurice, were born on Dec. 22, 1949, on the Isle of Man, a British dependency in the Irish Sea. (Barry was born there in 1946.) The boys largely grew up in Manchester, England, where the family lived on the edge of poverty. Their father, Hugh, a drummer and bandleader, encouraged his sons to sing. Their mother, Barbara, was also a singer.\nAccording to Bee Gees lore, the boys’ first performance was sometime in the mid-1950s, and unplanned. They had been scheduled to perform as a lip-synching act at a movie theater in Manchester when the record broke, forcing them to sing for real.\nThe family moved to Australia in 1958, and before long the brothers, performing as the Bee Gees — for Brothers Gibb — began scoring local hits and appearing on television. They left for London in early 1967 and within weeks had signed with Robert Stigwood, the impresario who guided them in their peak years.\nThe band’s first single in Britain, “New York Mining Disaster 1941,” was released in April 1967 and reached the Top 20.\nBut in private Robin was far from dull. He and his wife, Dwina Murphy, who survives him, lived in a 12th-century former monastery in Oxfordshire that he had restored and filled with statues of Buddha and suits of armor. In Miami, his mansion was open to celebrities and politicians like Tony Blair.\nRobin briefly left the group in 1969 and tried out a solo career. After he rejoined his brothers, they scored their first No. 1 in the United States with “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” in 1971. But with harder rock taking over, the Bee Gees’ popularity ebbed, reaching bottom in 1974 with a series of supper-club gigs in England to pay off tax debts.\nAt that point their label, Atlantic, sent the brothers to Miami for musical experimentation. There, with the 1975 album “Main Course,” they reinvented the Bee Gees’ sound with Latin and funk rhythms, electronic keyboards and vocals that owed a debt to Philadelphia soul. It brought the band its first hits in years: “Nights on Broadway” and “Jive Talkin’,” which went to No. 1.\nFor many listeners, the Gibbs were the face of disco. Even “Sesame Street” got caught up in the trend, with Robin singing on the disco-themed album “Sesame Street Fever.” It went gold.\nThe Bee Gees’ 1979 album, “Spirits Having Flown,” produced three more No. 1 singles, “Too Much Heaven,” “Tragedy” and “Love You Inside Out.” Then, in 1980, the band filed a $200 million lawsuit against Mr. Stigwood, saying he had swindled them out of royalties. Mr. Stigwood countersued for defamation and breach of contract. They settled out of court and publicly reconciled.\nIn the ’80s the band’s popularity waned in the United States but remained strong abroad. Robin released three solo albums, with limited success. The Bee Gees returned with some moderate hits in the late 1990s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. With his brothers, Mr. Gibb won six Grammys.\nIn addition to his wife and his brother Barry, Robin Gibb is survived by his sons, Spencer and Robin-John, known as R J; his daughters, Melissa and Snow; a sister, Lesley; and his mother. An earlier marriage, to Molly Hullis, ended in divorce.\nMr. Gibb had recently been working on a classical piece, “The Titanic Requiem,” with Robin-John. It had its premiere in London on April 10, played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but Robin was too ill to attend.\nDespite the Bee Gees’ close association with disco, the Gibb brothers had long insisted that they had no stake in the genre. They had simply written songs that suited their voices and caught their fancy, they said.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "I used to play the game but haven't for a while and trying to understand it again.\nThe implications of overpopulation seem to be quite harsh, given the propensity for warring and the chance some provinces will actually be chained down.\nWhat is the purpose of this in the game? So not the mechanics of it, i can see the formula in the wiki, but why stop provinces that are down from being able to fight back?\nMost people don't want to war for a really long time, and if you couldn't take provinces out with chains it would extend wars. There are also a lot of ways to \"survive\" the chain and still be quite useful.\nAlso, one of the few instances that \"reality\" makes sense for the game. Land is only able to support so many people.\nProblem is that it begs the question; Why don't we lose the 'clay' they presumably carry back by the same means on a Trad March?\nThis got a bit off topic. Personally I like when things they implement make sense in reality, but meh, it doesn't really matter.\nAs to why overpopulation exists, it is a way to remove a lot of military from a province. It is (depending on the kd) a very effective way to disable a province, or at least make them choose between offense, defense, thieves and wizards. The alternative I guess would be that if overpopulation didn't exist, people would probably lean more heavily on massacres and T/M ops to hurt provinces. I personally think navigating overpopulation effectively is one of the more entertaining parts of the game... how hard can you get smacked down and still be effective and useful? Can you make them commit more resources to taking you out than they wanted to? Your play in these scenarios can turn the tide of a war.\nBut until then, you are a god of destruction (if you know what to do with your thieves/mages anyway).\nI'd like elites to not abandon but commit suicide as an RPG option, maybe on the province detail screen on the crown page.\nVery rarely do I feel underwhelmed by mechanical changes, but uniform abandonment does bother me. It's not that I don't feel peasants, soldiers and specs can't be Kool-Aid drinking fanatics. I imagine elites are part of a vetting process in which I want self-immolating commitment to the cause.\nYou could suggest that in the proper part of the forum, as what you want.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 513, "token_count_with_eod": 514, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "Owners' Experiences Back\nOn board with superyacht owner Slim Bouricha, founder of Lynx Yachts\nSWIPE HERE TO CONTINUE\nHeliad II\nSuperyacht owner Slim Bouricha\nBouricha's first boat Jericho\nSlim Bouricha grew up on the water in Tunisia\nHeliad II alongside its support vessel the YXT\nLynx's XYT support vessel\n8 March 2016 by David Edwards\nSuperyacht owner and founder of Lynx Yachts, Slim Bouricha, takes us on boardHeliad IIand explains how a eureka moment propelled him to revolutionise the way yachts are built...\n“It really comes down to moments, coincidences,” says Slim Bouricha. He’s recalling the turning-points in his business life, the specific experiences that allowed his first company to flourish and his second recently to take root. And he’s being modest.\nCoincidence appears to have played no part at all in the making of Tunisian-born engineer, businessman and superyacht owner Slim Bouricha. First, he built a ground-breaking construction firm in the oil and gas industry from scratch, designing and building pipelines, oil processing facilities and much more. Now he is embarking on a similarly radical venture in boatbuilding. The “moments” he describes – and he remembers them vividly – seem more to do with a rare combination of intelligence, empathy, bravery and hard work.\nBefore we get on to those life-changing episodes, I ask him about his name. Is there a story behind Slim? No, he says. It’s just the name his parents chose for no particular reason. “Working with Dutch people, though, I found out that it means ‘smart’ in Dutch!”\nThose Dutch people he refers to are characters in the second act of Slim Bouricha’s story. His boatbuilding company, Lynx Yachts, is based in Holland, where his smart ideas, including the revolutionary superyacht support vessel, the YXT, are gaining a foothold in the industry.\nBut first, to Tunisia. It was in Sfax, on the Mediterranean coast south of Tunis, that Bouricha was born 49 years ago (he hits 50 in June). Unusually for Sfax folk, his parents – a psychiatrist father and nurse mother – had a boat and his childhood summers were spent on the six metre, and the nearby island of Kerkennah. “It was magic for us growing up,” he says. His father bought Slim and his elder brother a fishing boat, too. “We spent every summer fishing and the beginning of the season preparing the fishing boat, scraping the paint, getting the boat ready for the season. My brother, myself and a fisherman in the village, he would help us. He taught us pretty much everything.”\nThe youngest Bouricha was soon displaying the practical skills that would come in so handy in later life. “Since I was little I had an interest in becoming an engineer. My first boat didn’t float for a second – I was not even 10.”\nHe left home at 18 to study, first in Paris where it was maths and physics, and then Washington, for a mechanical engineering degree at George Washington University. Other lessons were learnt, too. “At the time America was much more advanced than Europe in terms of the service industry. Now I think all the world is pretty much equal but back then I could sense that Americans were more pragmatic and more service-orientated.”\nArmed with qualifications and experience, Bouricha went to work back in Sfax. He joined a company that built facilities for oil and gas producers – and quickly branched out on his own. All the time, he was questioning what the industry did, and how companies like his did it. “When we were about to build something and the engineering was already done, there were a lot of things you would see wrong. I would say, I would have designed this differently.”\nThis was when Eureka Moment No.1 took place. “I can even close my eyes and remember it,” Bouricha says of the day nearly 20 years ago. “It was one day, I was walking with the end client and the main contractor who did the engineering. And the project was late because it was poorly designed. They had to redesign while the construction was going on. As we were walking, one of the representatives of the builders I was friendly with turned to me and said: ‘I can’t believe this. This is something you could probably have done yourself much better than we did.’ All of a sudden I thought, hold on a second, that’s true.”\nA few months later, Bouricha put his new approach to the test on a tender for a process facility. “I went so far as doing the entire engineering at the bidding phase so they could really see I knew what I was talking about. I think that seduced the engineering team of the end user, the client, as they said OK.\n“That first project was a success. My client was so happy and they are still one of my major clients.” His company, Beender, is still going strong, employing 70-80 people and busy designing, engineering and constructing facilities in Congo and Iraq.\nThey might be rather different worlds and products but Bouricha has found that the same principles that apply in the oil and gas industry do so in the boating world, too.\nHaving cruised and fished on boats as a child, it was some years before Bouricha returned to the water as an adult. “First, I couldn’t afford a boat,” he says. “Second, I didn’t even have time for a boat. I used to work seven days a week and did that for my first seven years. One day, you finally have a little bit of money and some time, so I bought a small boat to cruise around.”\nHis first “significant” boat, as he calls it, was the 17 metre Jericho he had built in the mid-2000s and kept in Tunisia, while he was living in Paris. A fire put paid to her so he bought Heliad, an 18 metre Ferretti, while he and his American-Palestinian wife Lina started designing the boat they really wanted.\nMaking this next boat a reality brought about Moment No.2. “If you went to all the traditional boat builders, the process was such that you end up never getting the boat you want. This is why I decided to set up Lynx Yachts. We need to rethink the yacht building process.”\nBouricha was convincing enough talking about Beender and how he changed the way an oil and gas facility builder tendered for business. He positively fizzes now when explaining how the 33.9 metre Heliad II became the first boat off the Lynx drawing boards, in May 2013.\n“We wanted to have the perfect gentleman’s family boat. When I used to cruise, whenever I saw those round-stern, navy blue hulls I always had to stop. On the old Benettis or whatever. They always appealed to me. And we also wanted to have a modern classic yacht where you have a very traditional line, that’s timeless, and yet a very minimalist contemporary interior.”\nHis input was considerable and this talent and experience is what he is offering to Lynx clients. “Engineers are not people who spend time on the water, whether as guests or as crew. The builders don’t spend time on the water either. I felt I can make a difference because I spend time on the water, I’ve spent a lot of time cruising. And also I love being in the engine room and I love the technical stuff on boats. I’m sure there’s something I can offer to people.”\nMany people seem interested in Lynx’s one-stop shop approach of design and build. “I met somebody last week,” Slim Bouricha says, “and it was great because he had had several yachts in his life, all the way to 60 metres. He now wants a 22 or 24 metre boat and I have a very interesting challenge because his wife wants something and he also has his own requirements. He has children too and they are all on a different wavelength and somebody has to come from the exterior and make the common denominator. I love this, love it,” he adds, unnecessarily, as his eyes and quickening speech have already given away his excitement.\nAlongside its custom division, Lynx also offers the YXT, the distinctive support vessel range designed to offer more space to yacht owners to carry large tenders and toys as well as providing additional accommodation for crew and guests.\nThis idea came to Bouricha during Moment No.3. “We were anchored off Capri [some time around 2008] and I was watching these people coming off this 50 metre boat. The ladies were all decked out and the tender was not stable, the crew were struggling to get those ladies safely on board the tender that was not so big. The water was very choppy, it was very windy, and I saw them getting completely messed up.\n“While we were building Heliad II I was aware of a larger yacht trying to remain under the 500 gross tonnage limit by carving into the superstructure [to accommodate a small tender]… I’m like, all this doesn’t make sense. Here’s a guy who’s spending probably two million altogether, when he could have bought a yacht extender for less money and not limited himself. He could then have had a 13 metre tender and enjoyed the real thing.\n“I’d been thinking about it for a while but suddenly it all came together and I thought: we need to do it.”\nOf course, he did it and is still doing it. He mentions another moment, one from his childhood, that goes some way to explaining this engaging, cosmopolitan character who has two sons of his own – Hedi, 14, and Adam, 11 – and now lives in Geneva with his family. “I grew up in Sfax, in Tunisia, in the late Sixties, early Seventies. We didn’t have newsstands with magazines at the time. TV was still black and white, with one channel and that started, I think, at 6 or 7pm!\n\"Every once in a while somebody would come back from a trip and bring the Air France magazine called Atlas. I used to love those magazines. I’d spend hours reading them and looking at the pictures. I’d travel in my head reading those magazines. There’s so much to explore in this world.”\nHe has done his fair share of exploring so far and, with Lynx, is encouraging others to do the same. “I’m really passionate about boats,” he says. “I’m also, deep inside, the dreamer/engineer who always wants to do things differently and better.”\nPictures courtesy Corbis Images; Jonathan Glynn-Smith; Thierry Ameller\nOn board with

{"text": "Home Publishers Marvel REVIEW: Avengers: Infinity War – choose your spoiler levels\nREVIEW: Avengers: Infinity War – choose your spoiler levels\nHannah Lodge\nHow do you review a movie the whole world wants to talk about but doesn’t want to talk about?\nBy giving people choices. So here, reader, is a choose your own adventure review. Navigate below for as little or as much feedback as you’d like. Please note: no portion of this review discusses anything that would qualify as an actual spoiler for the film, nor does any portion of the review detail anything more than you’d see in a typical movie review. But for some, less is more until you’ve seen it.\nLevel 1 Review, e.g.\nDID YOU LIKE THE MOVIE, YES OR NO? THAT’S LITERALLY ALL I WANT TO KNOW.\nYes. I honestly had no idea how Marvel would fit so many characters into one movie, but they’ve managed to solve the Rubik’s cube of gracefully stuffing most of their cinematic universe into the confines of only 2 hour and 40 minutes.\nSO WHAT DID YOU LIKE OR NOT LIKE ABOUT IT? NO PLOT DETAILS, PLEASE.\nOne of my bigger concerns with Avengers: Infinity War was that, despite it being one of the final chapters in a long series of film, it’d waste too much of its running time filling in the blanks for people just tuning in. I’m happily surprised that this wasn’t the case at all. The film picks up right around the time Thor: Ragnarok ends, and it makes no effort whatsoever to catch up viewers on entries prior. I imagine anyone walking into this without knowledge of the franchise would feel like they were watching a season finale to a TV show they’d never seen, which is a bold but necessary choice to make for a film like this. (If you haven’t seen the previous movies, I’d recommend catching up on as many as you can).\nAnd as you might expect from previous Avengers outings, the real joy and excitement of the movie rests in seeing your favorite heroes interact with one another, often for the first time – both in small moments of banter and in large scale battles. It’s hard to describe the tone of Infinity War, because the premise is dark and foreboding, but it manages to move at an even clip and doesn’t spare an ounce of the humor we’ve come to expect from the MCU.\nThe other big concern I had walking in was how Thanos and the MacGuffins of the MCU, the Infinity Stones, could support the weight of such a major effort. Thanos has mostly up to now been borderline silly and far from threatening, in my mind, in the brief appearances he’s made in other films. Here I’m torn on whether he works as intended. He’s threatening enough, but Infinity War in some ways tries too hard to make Thanos a compelling villain, quite suddenly, and I’m not sure the emotional or story beats with him worked for me – I think more of his backstory could have been told in previous entries, such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, so there’d be less character building to do. Here I’d have preferred less of him, because the heroes are who we’re really invested in up to this point.\nTELL ME EVERYTHING (BUT ALSO: DON’T REALLY TELL ME ANYTHING, OK?)\nThe basic plot of this film is shockingly simple: Thanos is on the hunt for the Infinity Stones so he can enact some population control on the universe. He feels the universe is prone to overcrowding, leading to a scarcity of resources and poverty for many, and wants to solve that problem with the Infinity Stones. So he’s on the move to collect them all, which means the film takes place in several different areas across the universe, and basically everyone in the MCU is trying to stop him. The result is a spectacle of a movie, with conflict after conflict followed by small beats to plan and have casual banter.\nI was impressed with the way the movie set up its protagonists – in Avengers: Civil War we basically had two separate sides working against each other. Infinity War takes the approach of setting up three main groups of protagonists and weaving them throughout. The way some of these heroes were bundled together was easily my favorite part of the movie, particularly the chemistry between certain Avengers and certain Guardians of the Galaxy.\nAs with any A/B/C subplot situation, some plots fare better than others. The lower point of the movie for me involved a fetch quest that comes near the end of the film – one of those subplots that starts to stall the momentum of a film that is otherwise firing on all cylinders. Also, as much as I love Peter Dinklage on Game of Thrones, that was not the case here. I’m surprised his scenes didn’t end up on the cutting room floor.\nMeanwhile, the rest of the movie and its many moving pieces deliver, particularly because Infinity War has what so many other MCU films have lacked: stakes. Besides occasionally offing a minor supporting character like Agent Coulson (and then not really letting him be dead, anyway), audiences previously have spent most of these films knowing exactly who will walk away safely. While that’s true to some extent here, there’s a very real feeling that we’re reaching an end of sorts, and not everyone will make it out alive.\nLastly, I compared Infinity War to a season finale rather than a series finale, and it’s an important distinction. There’s another part to this story coming one year from now, and though I was hoping Infinity War would feel mostly self-contained, it’s only half of a complete story, and like any season finale, it’s painful to know we’ll have to wait a full year to get the conclusion. But so far I’m impressed with how much Marvel managed to fit into one story, and I think the structure of these films and their TV-like narrative have proved how well long term franchise investments can pay off if they’re well thought out and executed rather than handled piecemeal.\nPrevious articleAdvance Preview: Shadowman Stands at the Crossroads While the Husks Hunger For Souls – Shadowman #3\nNext articleDC ROUND-UP: Another chapter reaches its conclusion in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #29\nEntertainment writer and editor for The Beat.

Slate critic Sam Adams has vowed to throw a brick at the next reviewer who makes that comparison.\nskip 04/26/2018 7:30 am at 7:30 am\n“The basic plot of this film is shockingly simple”\nShockingly simplistic. The film was a repetitive snoozefest. It was the same conflict over and over and over and over. “Fight Thanos!” “No, protect the gems!” “No, kill me to protect the gems!” 10 minutes worth of concept stretched over two and a half hours.\nWhenever comic fans watch these films, the critical centers of their brains turn to mush.\nExhibit A: Skip, who expresses contempt for 99 percent of superhero movies but can’t help seeing them all, apparently on the first day of release.\nKyle Pinion 04/26/2018 11:12 pm at 11:12 pm\nHoly crap George, people are really comparing this to PTA? Because it has a big ensemble? Why don’t they go for Altman while they’re at it too?\nIt’s a very fun time btw, just got out of it a little bit ago.

Many genuinely shocking moments, though in good comic book fashion they’ve left themselves an out. ATM, I’d rate it in the lower half of MCU movies, but the larger the cast the more viewings it takes for me to settle on an opinion.\nMBunge 04/27/2018 9:35 am at 9:35 am\nThe problems with the film are that it is pretty repetitive, with the whole “hero refuses to kill one person in order to save half the universe” thing happening THREE times, and Thanos becoming the “Big Poochie” of the MCU. Remember when they first announced Infinity War as a two-parter and then reversing course when people starting complaining about it? Well, this is definitely still part one of two but a little restructuring and a lot less Thanos could have prevented that.\nOn the other hand, it is still a lot of fun and amazingly well-constructed for what it is.\n“Infinity War has what so many other MCU films have lacked: stakes.”\nAnd I have to disagree with this. If anything, the film lost me a bit by going so far over the top that I couldn’t suspend my disbelief. Whoever dies “for real” in the next one is going to be slightly undercut by seeing everybody and their brother get ash-puffed into nonexistence in this one.\nMartha Thomases 04/27/2018 12:13 pm at 12:13 pm\nMy problem with this movie (and I had a lot of fun watching it) is the way the character of the Hulk — and especially Bruce Banner — is so different from the way he was written in the previous films. He’s not smart. He’s not scientific. Mark Ruffalo is never less than a terrific actor, but he is given nothing to work with here.\nAlso (and I hope this isn’t spoiler-y, but warning) if I was the parent of young children, I would not take them to this until the second part comes out.\nherrdoctorffej 04/27/2018 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm\nAbout halfway through, I thought “OK — Thanos == R’as Al Ghul”. (Hell, they both have super-assassin daughters.)\nWhich is actually a clever bit of adaptation. Thanos of the comics is, boiled down, your crazy god-like supervillain.

{"text": "– In an interview, the poet Lisa Robertson writes: “…as a very young reader, in the 80s, I constantly felt affronted that I could not find a point of recognition in the extreme masculinist philosophy and literature I was reading. To discover feminist thinking and writing was a recognition that gave me the will to write. That was a very relevant kind of pleasure.” Do you share her position? How did you discover feminist thinking and what difference did it make to you?\nMy experience of being female was one of latent discovery. I never doubted my biological make-up or had any confusion about it but quickly became aware of discord between how I understood myself and what others saw – which is a rather common experience and not just a gendered one.\nI feel as though I have been part of some kind of “art world” since an early age. It is clear to me, whether or not I knew it then, that this is the direction I was heading in: I wanted to make things. And for years and years, I didn’t realize that the majority of the artists and artworks that I was being shown, that were influencing me, that I was taught to respect, were made by men, curated by men, in institutions largely run by men. And not just any men: white, straight ones. Without getting into all the frustrations of what it is to simply be a woman in today’s world, let alone the working world, or specifically the working art world, I can simply say that it was disheartening initially to realize that I was going to have to work harder to seek out female influences but that actually, as soon as I did, there were plenty of (female) artists everywhere, making incredible work. The sadness comes in actually having to identity myself as a gender to begin with, which above all feels exhausting since I am constantly reminded that I am female anyway.\nMaybe, without intentionally meaning to, I sort of rejected the idea that I should have to do this, since it seems much more important that white, straight, men acknowledge their genders and make an effort to not dominate as easily as they are allowed to dominate. I would, as with my national and cultural identity (the real place where I can’t find a point of recognition), allow for that line to be blurred, allow for my gender and my influences and the kind of work I make to not be defined so easily along gender lines, because aren’t we already far past the moment where we have to be either male OR female? I like to pretend that we are past that limited perspective and to act accordingly until the rest of the world, which hasn’t figured this out yet, catches up.\nMy will to keep making work comes from the fact that I am excited by other work and excited to contribute to it. It is not only based on other people making work but about all the other kinds of work that is out there in the world and largely unrepresented. I’d like for us to get to a place where we have a width swathe of arts of all kinds of genders and races, a place where, if you end up being influenced by white, straight men, it would really be because of a preference for a particular artist(s).", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 658, "token_count_with_eod": 659, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Replace these Affiliate Programs at ANYTIME! Your banner here within the next hour. Learn How!\n\nPTC®, The Product Development Company®, today announced the theme for the 2011 Real World Design Challenge. Teams of three to seven high school students (grades 9-12) are tasked with designing a plane by evaluating the forces of flight, lift, weight, thrust and drag with the goal of enhancing fuel efficiency. As part of this program, the students will design the exterior geometry and internal structure of an airliner wing using aeroelastic tailoring methods to minimize the objective function by experimenting with and changing specified variables.\n\nThe Real World Design Challenge is designed by professionals from industry, government and academia and is one of the aerospace industry's top priorities for workforce development in the student community.\n\nThe Challenge is an annual competition involving more than 4,375 high school students run by a public-private partnership with the goal of inspiring interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and careers. PTC and its partners, including Cessna Aircraft Company, Federal Aviation Administration, NASA and 30 additional partners, are focused on transforming and enhancing STEM education in the American educational system by providing science, engineering and learning resources that allow students and teachers to address an actual challenge confronting one of the nation's most important industries. Fifty-four percent of the aerospace science and technology (S&T) workforce is older than 45 and 33 percent are eligible to retire now. Currently, there are not sufficient numbers of students in the pipeline to replace them. Less than 7.5 percent of high school graduates pursue undergraduate degrees in engineering. Of the 7.5 percent who enter engineering, only about 50 percent earn a degree in engineering.\n\n\"We are honored to be a part of this one-of-a-kind program that allows students to make a substantive contribution to improve the current energy and climate change crises,\" said Ralph K. Coppola, director, Real World Design Challenge and director, government & strategic education programs, PTC. \"Since all resources are provided by the partnership, students across the country - regardless of financial and fundraising ability - can participate and learn these critical engineering and design skills.\"\n\nThe winning teams from the 30 participating states will be notified between Feb. 16-22, 2011. These teams will then receive all expense paid trips to Washington, D.C. to compete at the National Challenge Event April 15-18, 2011. Real World Design Challenge National Awards will be given out to First Place, Second Place and Third Place teams and a special Merit Award will be given to exemplars.\n\n\"The global economy is in a state of flux, and in order to maintain our nation's technical and industrial leadership, we need to foster our future engineers by mentoring them and teaching them to think innovatively,\" said Paula Lewis, Assistant Administrator for Regions and Center Operations, FAA. \"The Challenge encourages students to get excited about science, technology, engineering and math - these capabilities and skills make a competitive and pioneering workforce.\"\n\nPTC provides commercial-grade product development software, including Pro/ENGINEER® (3D product design software), Windchill® (PLM software) and Mathcad® (engineering calculation software), to the Challenge. PTC also provides connections and access to mentors from its partner organizations across America who are participants in the competition or program management for the competition.\n\nIn addition to PTC, other partner organizations have contributed resources to make the Challenge free to all students. Mentor Graphics has provided FloEFDTM (3D fluid flow, heat transfer analysis package) and NEi Software has provided NEi Nastran (finite element analysis).\n\nFor additional information contact Dr. Ralph K. Coppola, Real World Design Challenge Director at rcoppola[.]ptc.com. To register a team or to sign up as a mentor go to RealWorldDesignChallenge.com.

{"text": "Catriking in Ottawa: First day out!\nIt was absolutely gorgeous today, just as the weather dudes had promised. Actually, the weather has been really grand lately, with sunny skies, warm temperatures and no precip to speak of...until this past Sunday when it poured like mad.\nBut, unlike the past two summers when it did nothing but rain - so it seemed - this was a wanted rain. The showers, drumming steadily against the roof of the house and swirled about the skies by the brisk easterly winds, washed all that blasted road salt away! By this morning, the skies had stopped pouring with rain and, when the sun came out, the roads dried. To be sure, we still have lots of fine gravel spread fairly evenly across the road - but at least it won't dissolve the catrikes.\nIt was still pretty windy today, which is typical for this time of year as weather patterns shift from the stability of winter to the stormier spring, but the winds didn't sting. They were still coming from the east (predominantly) but the day was warm for this time of year and the sun was shining brightly. It looked like the perfect day to get our catrikes out and go for the first run of the season.\nWe waited until lunch had settled before heading out but some dusting off of things came first, starting with checking the tires. My trike has three Schwalbe Marathon Racers and they are rated for 85psi. Adam's trike, the 2006 Catrike Speed, has two Schwalbe Kojak tires, inflated to 100 psi, on the front with a Schwalbe Stelvio, also inflated to 100, for the rear tire. Adam pumped up the tires and, after ensuring no air was leaking for any reason, we were off to the races.\nWell, actually, I was off first. Anxious to get out on the road, I plunked myself in the seat and did a quick run just up and down the road. MAN, it felt SO GOOD just being out on the trike. While I was zipping up and down the road, doing speeds ranging from 13 to about 25 km/hr, I did a quick check on the shifters, the brakes and the steering. I am very happy to report that three months spent in the garage with nothing more than an old shower curtain draped across to keep it clean did nothing bad to it.\nWhen I got back to the house, grinning as I was, I saw that Adam was ready to go. We snapped a couple of pictures (Adam takes much better ones) and, before long, we were both out on the road. We only went for a 6 kilometre run, half of that spent beating into the still gusty easterly winds, but not only did we have a ton o'fun but we did some sprint runs downwind on, basically, empty roads. With Adam being much taller and more muscular than me, naturally he clocked higher speeds. At one point, he reached 39 km/hr on the same run that I touched 34 km/hr.\nMy Catrike Trail shifts very smoothly and, just like last year, the brakes were both responsive and even - no pulling from either side. I'm debating on whether or not I want to buy a pair of clipless shoes. I am told that I can increase my speed by up to 20% as I would be producing power throughout the entire cycle and not just when pushing down. It's a nice idea but not necessary.\nTomorrow promises to be a carbon copy of today so perhaps we will head out once again to add to the 6 kilometres we already did so far this season.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 786, "token_count_with_eod": 787, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Many of these Christmas traditions are universal, but most of our rituals are made unique thanks to a specific family spin. Here are the traditions that I wouldn’t want to miss – and how my friends and family enjoy them in their own special ways.\nWhen it comes to opening presents, being patient on the big day is always a challenge, whether you’re two or, ahem, 32. Some people are mature and disciplined enough to wait until after the Queen’s speech.\nHowever, for others, tradition dictates that the exchange of gifts happens on Christmas Eve. This isn’t necessarily down to impatience, it’s a big cultural tradition across Europe.\nIn France, festivities usually begin with an elaborate, multi-course dinner on Christmas eve, called “le réveillon de Noël” – and presents typically follow. Some people follow this tradition for different reasons.\nMost regular churchgoers wouldn’t dream of celebrating the season without attending midnight Mass. Even if your approach to festivities is typically more secular, a late night church visit can be a way of starting a busy, boozy 72 hours in a peaceful, contemplative setting.\nOK, it’s peaceful and contemplative until the pubs close, and you have the chance to hear tipsy churchgoers turn up late and then really go for it and try to do the descant of O Come All Ye Faithful. My family are faithful midnight Mass attendees, and equally committed to staying sober for the duration of the service.\nHowever, tradition dictates that as soon as we get home afterwards, we get stuck into the red wine and hot sausage rolls.\nMany people dread Secret Santa, the tradition of buying an anonymous gift for a selected participant, usually for under a fiver.\nOften the ritual involves forgetting about it until the 22nd, getting an email that reminds you that you’re supposed to be swapping presents over lunch, and hyperventilating at the till of your nearest stationery shop wondering whether Nigel from accounts really wants a photo frame decorated with pineapples.\nHowever, my five sisters and I have made Secret Santa a family tradition – and we each buy one gift for one sister, instead of presenting each other with a series of pineapple photo frames.\nSecret Santa comes with its own micro traditions, like trying to coordinate the draw using an app, syncing it with Facebook, and accidentally inviting old colleagues and ex boyfriends to exchange gifts, before giving up and doing it with bits of paper.\nA full stocking simply isn’t enough to prove that your house has been visited by Father Christmas – savvy Santa fans like to see a smeary, empty sherry glass, a few mince pie crumbs, or at least a discarded, nibbled carrot top, abandoned by Rudolph.\nSome parents report that since they’ve had children, Santa has started leaving sparkly footprints between the fireplace and the tree. In addition to the standard schooner and pie, I used to leave Santa a chocolate tree decoration, and courteous Santa would always thank me for it in his handwritten letter.\nNow I think about it, it’s amazing that Santa could visit the houses of every single boy and girl in the world and have time to leave a note. That’s a man who knows how to work to a deadline.\nThe spherical, white iced, berry embellished Christmas pudding is such an iconic festive symbol that it’s hard to believe that there isn’t a Christmas pudding emoji.\nAny tradition that involves setting food on fire is a thrilling one – whether your pudding has been boiled and steamed after months of preparation, or whether, like my family, you concentrate all of your anticipating energies into the five minutes that it spends in the microwave.\nThe True Grace Vetiver candle is the epitome of gorgeous, woody, wintry warmth.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "If your business in Virginia Beach, Virginia, has an HVAC system that can’t keep your customers comfortable, they could go to a competitor. Also, your employees won’t be as productive if they always feel too hot or cold. Here are three tips for avoiding commercial HVAC repairs.\n\nRemove Bad Smells\n\nIf indoor humidity is too high in summer, mold growth or rotting wood can cause an unpleasant musty smell. You might need to replace flooring, wallpaper, furniture and other parts of the workplace to get rid of it.\n\nFortunately, you can keep humidity levels low and prevent unpleasant smells by having a professional inspect your HVAC system each year. Changing the air filter each month also supports high indoor air quality.\n\nIf you smell something burning or the scent of gas, leave immediately and contact a professional. You could have a gas leak or another problem with your furnace.\n\nClean or Seal Ductwork\n\nDirt, dust, pollen, mold and other contaminants accumulate inside ductwork over time, reducing your HVAC system’s efficiency.

These constituency groups include members, elders, pastors serving in a congregation, and specialized clergy serving elsewhere. Panels are re-sampled every three years. The main goal of this study is to gather broad information about Presbyterians in terms of their faith (beliefs, church background, and levels of church involvement), and their social, economic and demographic characteristics (age, sex, marital status, living arrangements, etc.). The November 1998 survey focuses on science, technology, and faith.\nVariables: 253\nWeight Variable: None\nDate Collected: November 1996 (Background questions) and November 1998\nCongregational Ministries Division, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)\nCollection Procedures\nData were collected by self-administered mail surveys. \"In the initial mailing, each sampled individual was sent a 9\"x 12\" envelope (personally addressed) containing the following materials: a personally-addressed letter (with pre-printed signature) from the Moderator of the 1996 General Assembly, the Reverend John M. Buchanan, encouraging participation; a personally-addressed cover letter (individually signed) from John P. Marcum, Panel Administrator; a sheet (printed on front and back) describing the Panel in question-and-answer format; a 1-1/2\" diameter circular wall magnet with the PCUSA seal; a postage-paid, business-reply envelope; and a copy of the questionnaire. ... Overall design of the survey and mailings followed the 'Total Design Method'.\" (see Dillman. 1978. Mail and Telephone Surveys: The Total Design Method. New York: John Wiley & Sons.) (Technical Notes: Establishment of the 1997-1999 Presbyterian Panel)\nInitial mailings to individuals in all samples began in November 1996 and were completed in January 1997. All individuals received a reminder postcard from the Panel administrator two weeks after the initial mailing, and a month after that, a duplicate questionnaire was sent to persons not responding. Finally, a third reminder with a replacement questionnaire was sent to the remaining non-respondents in the members and clergy samples.\n\"The Panel consists of three samples, each drawn from a separate constituency group, or population with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The PCUSA includes congregations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.\" (Technical Notes)\n\"The member sample was drawn from the population of all active members of congregations affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)... [However,] elders currently serving on session, members known to be living more than 50 miles from their congregation, and persons unable to complete a mailed survey [were excluded]. At the end of 1995, the total active membership of the PCUSA was 2,665,276. Subtracting the 115,663 active elders, the approximate population for the member sample was 2,549,613.\" (Technical Notes)\n\"The population of elders is defined as the subset of active members of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations (1) who both have been ordained to the office of elder by a PCUSA church (or a church affiliated with one of its predecessor denominations) and (2) who are currently serving on the session of a PCUSA congregation.\" (Technical Notes)\nClergy or Ministers of the Word and Sacrament\n\"The population of ministers of the Word and Sacrament is defined as those persons who have been ordained to this office and continue to hold it as members of a presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Retired or emeritus ministers are excluded. In 1996, the population of active ministers totaled 14,384.\" (Technical Notes)\nSampling Procedures\n\"Three representative samples were drawn, one from each of the three populations above, using probability techniques.\n\"Lacking an exhaustive list of active members of all PCUSA congregations, [the investigators] used a two-stage sampling process, first sampling congregations, then members within each of the sampled congregations. Using proportional stratified sampling, 425 congregations were drawn from the list of 11,366 congregations affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) at the end of 1995. Strata were based on membership size, using increments of 50.\n\"Each sampled congregation was sent a form and detailed set of instructions for sampling eight names from the membership. These instructions asked each congregation to number, consecutively, the names of all current active members using a standard list (e.g., in alphabetical or zip code order). Next, they were requested to send the Panel the names, addresses, phone numbers, and other information for the individual members whose numbers in this process corresponded to one of the eight random numbers generated for that congregation by the Panel.\" (Technical Notes)\n\"... Responses were accepted until early in 1997, although most congregations responded by the end of September. A postcard reminder and second copy of the form and instructions were sent to non-responding congregations on July 8 and August 1, respectively. Because congregations with large racial-ethnic (i.e., non-white or Latino) memberships and those with few total members (<100) were less likely to respond, in September Panel staff phoned all non-responding congregations in these categories to encourage participation. In all, 310 congregations (73%) provided completed forms. Included in this total were 5 (of the 16 sampled) congregations with majority racial-ethnic memberships, and 138 (out of 187 sampled) congregations with no racial-ethnic members.\n\"On average, sampled congregations that completed and returned a form listed seven eligible names. The total sample size was 2,163.\" (Technical Notes)\n\"Elders were sampled from the same 425 congregations drawn for the membership sample. A national list of current elders, based on annual reports by congregations to their presbyteries, is maintained by the Office of the General Assembly. At the time of the sampling (July 1996) this database contained names of elders from 385 of the 425 sampled congregations, and had been recently updated. Random sampling was used to draw (1) 4 names from each of the 385 congregations, then (2) 1 name from half of these congregations, and finally (3) 1 name from one-tenth of these congregations. Once duplicate names were eliminated, the total sample of elders equaled 1,759.\" (Technical Notes)\n\"A list of all ordained ministers of the Word and Sacrament is maintained by the Office of the General Assembly, based on reports from stated clerks of presbyteries. A total sample of 2,530 was drawn in three steps. First, all ministers serving as pastors (including associate, interim, stated supply, tentmaker, etc.) at the 425 congregations chosen for the member sample were included (n=666). The rest were then drawn randomly from the remaining list of all active ministers. Finally, the resulting sample was compared with the list of ministers sampled in 1993 for the 1994-1996 Panel, and names appearing on both samples were struck to reduce respondent burden.\n\"For most analyses, the ordained minister sample is split into pastors (those serving a congregation) and specialized clergy (those serving in all other settings, both church-related and not). This division is effected from responses to questions on current call asked on the initial survey.\" (Technical Notes)\nResponse rates in 1996, by sample, were: Members, 63 percent; Elders, 75 percent; Ministers of the Word and Sacrament, 75 percent.\n\"A systematic attempt to interview all member non-respondents by telephone provided evidence of partial non-response selectivity in that sample, with more active and involved members being somewhat more likely to complete and return by mail the Panel survey. However, responding and non-responding members were similar in terms of demographic characteristics, ...\" (Technical Notes)\nResearch Services, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and John P.

{"text": "This Tuesday I had the privilege of meeting James Payne, Executive Director of the Fort Walla Walla Museum. We toured the newer Entrance Hall located at Fort Walla Walla and pictured above. In addition to the entrance hall, the Fort Walla Walla Museum complex includes a pioneer village maintained by living historians from April to October, a horse agriculture exhibit, a military cemetery, multiple exhibit halls, and a research center. My comments today will focus mostly on the entrance hall and secondly the museum complex as a whole.\nThe museum contains an outstanding collection of artifacts that are historically relevant to the Pacific Northwest and to the nation, and span timeframes from pre-settlement to the First World War. The exhibits themselves are readily accessible to the public while simultaneously illuminating the bigger historical picture in an understandable, uncluttered, and straightforward manner. Professionals and volunteers on staff maintain the museum, archives, records, and research facility on fifteen acres. Of note, the museum recovers onsite artifacts with its own staff archaeologists, preserves cultural artifacts, and conserves historical documents.\nIn addition to the museum featuring original military uniforms, gear, and firearms used at the fort, the grounds display artillery from the First World War and Fort Walla Walla army unit the 2/146th Artillery Battalion (see the picture above). United States Civil War exhibit points out local family connections and includes a unique photograph of President Lincoln. Buffalo and Indian soldiers who served at Fort Walla Walla also appear in similar displays. However, this museum emphasizes a complete picture of lives in the Pacific Northwest and the military is just one aspect of that image.\nThe transportation exhibits show the nature of early travel in the Pacific Northwest, while the agricultural exhibits display how improvements in technology increased production. The exhibits continue to excel at highlighting multiple dimensions of history while not sacrificing detail. The plateau Indian bead work collection donated by the Lloyd family best exemplifies this. The Lloyd family exhibit retells how a settler family was able to initiate, maintain, and grow a peaceful co-existence with plateau Indians of the inland Pacific Northwest—unlike many of their neighbors. Other exhibits illustrate different periods in history, including a diorama of Lewis and Clark meeting Yellpt of the Walla Walla people, a display of early fur-trading equipment, and a textile exhibit displaying formal dresses from mid-Victorian times to the 1950s.\nLuke Sprague is a public historian at HistoryMint and manages the nominations to the National Register of Historical Places for Latah County, Idaho.

I've set up 'gratitude triggers' so that when they appear, I pause momentarily, and take a quick inventory of all the things I am grateful for. I have quite a few gratitude triggers, for example, when I see 11.11 on my phone I pause and evoke gratitude (yep, cheesy but it works for me).

The Float X2 Performance also offers a wide range of adjustments to help you dial your ride to perfectly suit the trail conditions and your riding style.\nRVS (Rod Valve System): The Rod Valve System (RVS) provides a more seamless damping transition when absorbing small to large impacts, resulting in faster system response, more control, and less harshness.\nPatented Air Transfer Port System: Fox Suspension's EVOL linear spring curve gives forks and shocks plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support and more tunable bottom-out progression. This allows riders to tap into the ideal pairing of front and rear-end feel.\nEVOL Air Sleeve: The lightweight one-piece EVOL air sleeve was designed for each shock size (imperial, trunnion and metric) to balance internal forces, and has maximized bushing overlap to reduce friction during “real world” forces like side-loading and twisting.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Literary festival and open mic to be held at the Gale Free Library\nRebecca Humphrey Editor @thelandmarknews\nSusan Roney-O’Brien used to be “that kid who looked out the window during class and dreamed,” she said.\nFrom winning her first poetry contest in third grade to getting her Masters in education from Anna Maria College, and a Masters of Fine Art from Warren Wilson College, she followed those dreams to become the accomplished poet and teacher she is today.\nThe Princeton resident runs a poetry venue at The Thirsty Lab, she is the coordinator for the Stanley Kunitz Boyhood Home Summer Writing Series, the organizer for the annual women's reading at the Princeton Library, a board member of Worcester County Poetry Association, and a member of the Monadnock Pastoral Poets. Her latest full collection, “Bone Circle,” was published by Aldrich Press in California in December 2018. WordPress published “Legacy of the Last World” in 2016. Two chapbooks, “Earth” and “Farmwife,” were also published. Another full collection, “Thira,” will be coming out in March 2020.\nNow, she is looking to share her skills and passion in Holden. Roney-O’Brien and a group of dedicated volunteers are hosting a kids literary festival and open mic at the Gale Free Library in Holden on Saturday, March 30. The festival is open to all in grades K-12 and will include mini-workshops with local teachers, writers, musicians, and artists that can help students create a new work or to polish an already completed draft. Then, those who would like to can share their words and art at the open mic.\nThe former English Language Arts and social studies teacher at Thomas Prince School said she has always considered young voices as the future. “Giving them a place to imagine, create and speak opens the door for us all,” Roney-O’Brien said.\nStations will be divided by poetry, art, and music.

{"text": "Life on Europa? The moon with life in a subsurface ocean?\nThis moon of Jupiter might have life in a subsurface ocean.\nLife on Europa: Water from a subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon, Europa, could reach the surface through seeps or erupt from hot water vents. This water would reveal the chemistry of the subsurface ocean and may contain microbes that live below. Artist's concept image by NASA / JPL.\nSubsurface structure of Europa: This image shows the internal structure of Europa. It has an icy crust supported by a subsurface ocean. Below that is the rocky layer surrounding an iron core. Image by NASA / JPL.\nFor the past several centuries, everyone believed that Mars was the most likely body in our solar system to support life beyond Earth. But after centuries of telescope observation, decades of spacecraft exploration, and several robots exploring its surface, the promise of discovering life on Mars remains elusive.\nNow, scientific attention is being focused on Europa, the fourth-largest of Jupiter's 67 confirmed moons. It may be an even better candidate for finding life than Mars. For life to be present the three basic requirements are: 1) liquid water; 2) chemical building blocks; and, 3) a source of energy. Europa is thought to have all three.\nThe surface of Europa is very cold and covered with ice. This ice forms a \"crust\" on the moon that is thought to be several kilometers thick. Beneath the crust, a subsurface ocean of liquid water up to 100 kilometers deep is thought to exist. Investigators believe that the ocean is rich in dissolved ions, particularly magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chlorine. Organisms on Earth live in ion-rich solutions, so there is a good chance that they live in them on Europa.\nVideo: Europa - Cool Destination for Life, produced by NASA / JPL News.\nSpacecraft observations determined that the surface of Europa is covered with water ice. That ice and other materials on Europa's surface are bombarded with radiation from Jupiter that could alter them into some of the chemical building blocks of life. These include: free oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).\nIf these compounds reach the subsurface ocean, they can be valuable nutrients to start and sustain life. The ocean water can react with the rocks and minerals of the subsurface ocean's floor to liberate other nutrients to support life.\nVideo: The Europa-Jupiter System Mission, produced by NASA / JPL News.\nVideo: Hubble Directly Images Possible Plumes on Europa, produced by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Katrina Jackson.\nEuropa's position in space is within the powerful gravitational field of Jupiter. This strong gravitational \"pull\" has the moon locked into an orbit with one hemisphere constantly facing Jupiter. The elliptical orbit takes Europa alternatively closer to and farther away from the planet. This alternating increase and decrease of gravitational force on Europa results in the moon elongating and relaxing with each trip around the planet. This internal movement, combined with gravitational forces exerted by neighboring moons, produces internal friction and heat within Europa.\nEuropa's internal heat could be the energy source that keeps the subsurface ocean from freezing and sustains any life that exists there. There could be hot water vents on the floor of the subsurface ocean that deliver energy and nutrients from the planet's interior. Organisms on Earth have been discovered in the subglacial lakes of Antarctica and in the hot ion-rich waters of hydrothermal vents. Life in Europa's subsurface oceans could be supported in similar ways.\nEuropa from Galileo: An image of the trailing hemisphere of Europa. It shows very few impact structures but numerous ridges and fractures that suggest a rigid crust moving over a mobile layer below. Image by NASA.\nNASA gives three pieces of evidence that strongly support the presence of Europa's subsurface ocean.\n1) Magnetometer surveys done by the Galileo spacecraft discovered an induced magnetic field near Europa's surface. This suggests a large body of conductive material (salty water) at a depth of 30 kilometers (about 20 miles) or less.\n2) The surface of Europa has bands, ridges, fractures and multi-ringed impact structures that suggest the presence of mobile material below.\n3) The surface of Europa has large-scale fractures and ridges similar to those that bound Earth's tectonic plates. These suggest a mobile layer below Europa's crust that supports the crust and allows it to move.\nA Window into Europa's Ocean Right at the Surface: Website article by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, March 2013.\nEuropa & Titan: Moons With Life?: Article from the Earthguide section of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego website, last accessed October 2016.\nEuropa Could Have the Ingredients Needed for Life: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.\nWhat Makes Us Think There is an Ocean Beneath Europa's Icy Crust?: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.\nThe presence of magnesium compounds on the surface of Europa suggests that water from the subsurface ocean reaches the surface through springs or vents. If this occurs these eruptions would deliver up ions and microbes from the ocean below.\nSo, if there is life in Europa's subsurface ocean, it could be scattered about the surface of the planet where landers or rovers might find it. A mission to the surface of the Europa might easily find evidence of life or even some of the microbes by sampling surface materials.\nThis makes Europa a very interesting target in the search for extraterrestrial life. Some researchers believe that it is a much better target than Mars.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1197, "token_count_with_eod": 1198, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Often, these SWFs contain MovieClips that begin playing after they are loaded. On mobile platforms, in particular, there is significant CPU overhead in processing these playing MovieClips even when they are not visible, and it has long been our recommendation to developers to call the stop method on all unnecessary MovieClips after loading a SWF.

In 1834 Frederic Leighton painted what in the course of time was meant to be rescued from oblivion and acclaimed his magnum opus, Flaming June, a damsel profoundly asleep against the distant horizon. The flaming yellow of her classical dress, the perfect fragility of her youth and the heavenly luminosity of the painting cover the piece with an unequalled ephemerality, reminding us the fugaciousness of beauty and of happiness, and the tragic destinies of the greco-roman mythologies by contrast. Somehow, We believe that June, by sleeping, is evading her mortal coil, or the tragedy that fate has in store for her. For Us, June is the most beautiful sleeping victim, and with this We don't want to put ourselves as fatalists, but, in any case, our attempt is to make NarziB a moment of dream, the relief of June, the exit from reality, the escapade of Hamlet's mortal coil, and well, in addition - we must say-, a flaming and dramatic Tokyoite cultural palaestra.

We'll be training such methods as one-way ANOVA. The example will be the time-reaction of a cognitive task among alcoholics, non-alcoholics and ex-alcoholics.

(Note also that the numbers in some of those explanations are wrong -- you need to be more careful of that)\n\nA) The results are statistically non-significant F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.12, eta = 0.20 thus the researcher's hypothesis (about the influence of alcoholism on working memory) is rejected.\n\nYou can't support this statement -- the absence of evidence of the presence of the predicted effect is not the same thing as evidence the effect is absent. \n\nC) The results show that the data are consistent with null hypothesis of no-effect (of an alcoholism on a capacity), F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.20, but the large effect size η2 suggests that the research hypothesis may be correct.\n\nIf you're trying to show them how to construct a conclusion I'd say the broad form of C is closest to being reasonable (though I think for that purpose you could do better as well), but for an explanation I'd lean more toward something roughly along the lines of\n\"The results are consistent with the absence of an effect, but the estimated effect size is large; this occurs because the standard error of the effect size is also large -- we can't tell if the population effect is big or small from these data; the sample size is too small to estimate it well.\"\n\nI'd also add that reaction times are not going to be anywhere close to normally distributed in general; typically they're quite skew and tend to have spread related to the mean (smaller means are associated with smaller standard deviations).

{"text": "During the Windows upgrade, the Upgrade Compatibility wizard runs a through test of the machine and reports any known compatibility issues. Sometime, the report may show you a particular role installed when it is actually not present.\nOne of the reasons this occurs is due to corruption in the component store, or any registry locations related to the role, that is causing the state of the role to be misreported. In this scenario, running a CheckSUR shows that there were several missing Deployment Keys in the components hive.\nSince there is no easy way to fix links to so many keys, we ended up performing an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2008 R2 using the media. This fixed the issue with the missing registry entries in the components hive and we could verify that running CheckSUR fixed the issue. Once we made sure that the state of all the components and deployment manifests were intact, we could perform the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 without any issues.\nIssue 2: Upgrade fails when there is another volume larger than the C drive on the same disk without a drive letter.\nSetup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.\nIn this situation, the setup process temporarily assigns a drive letter to that volume and may use this volume to hold temporary files ($Windows.~BT) because that is the largest volume. But the temporary drive letter assignment is removed during the reboot and it leaves the upgrade without a temporary file location causing it to fail.\nThis is very unlikely on a server to have this sort of partition layout, but if you dual boot your client desktop, you may run into this issue. The workaround is simple, just statically assign a drive letter to any additional partitions you have on the disk, except for the System Reserved partition.\nIf you have Hyper-V installed, make sure all VMs are turned off. Snapshots are ok, but any VMs that are in saved state may not boot after the upgrade.\nEnsure that BitLocker is suspended, and Antiviruses are disabled. Any backup or data replication software you are running should be paused so that it does not interfere with the upgrade.\nWe launched the “Check System Update Readiness” or CheckSUR tool a few years ago. This tool is continuously updated with the latest payloads and can detect report and fix a variety of corruption issues with the component store. More details on running this tool can be found on Joseph’s blog here. Running this tool and looking at its logs, (C:\\Windows\\Logs\\CBS\\CheckSUR.log) will tell you if there is any pending corruption that needs to be fixed.\nOn a side note: CheckSUR is no longer needed on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. The number of instances where CheckSUR has fixed CBS corruption was so large, that we decided to include the tool inbox. For more details on inbox corruption repair feature available in Windows 8, check this blog.\nIf you have Remote Server Administration tools installed, it is recommended that you remove this before the upgrade.\nWe also recommend removing any additional language packs that are installed. After the upgrade, you can always install the latest language packs for windows 8/Server 2012.\nVerify that you are running the latest drivers available for all devices connected to the server. Remove any un-necessary devices before the upgrade and connect them back after you have made sure that the upgrade was completed successfully. Ensure that there are no pending reboots from update or driver installations.\nAlways, take a backup before the upgrade. If this is a virtual machine, you can also create a snapshot before the upgrade.\nAlso watch out for more posts in this series.\nI also had this error: \"Setup cannot continue.

{"text": "Meet the New Boss: Rand Paul?\nWhen Scott Brown voted for the jobs bill and endorsed Mitt Romney for president, I thought it was a pretty good hint that the whole Tea Party thing was doomed to failure. It seemed even more clear this morning, when Jeff Zeleny over at the New York Times quoted Rand Paul saying that if elected, he would support Mitch McConnell's leadership in the Senate. \"I don't see myself going up there and being the one fly in the ointment,\" he said.\nOf course, one of Paul's most passionate convictions is for term limits. Since the Supreme Court found them unconstitutional and Paul is so passionate a devotee to the Constitution that he wants to pass a law ordering Congress to cite a Constitutional justification for every law they pass — except that one, of course — he wants Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment mandating an elected official's shorter time in office. In other words, Rand Paul loves the Constitution so much that he wants to change it. But this poses a slight problem: Mitch McConnell has been a Senator since 1984. So Paul would have to support him while also trying to overthrow him.\nAlso, as many have pointed out in the past, term limits often mean that our legislators don't know what they're talking about, thus giving even more power to the lobbyists and the bureaucracy.\nThe pursuit of purity is always a dangerous thing, whether it's prohibition or Mao's Great Leap Forward. But the deep confusion that has overtaken even the smartest Republicans seems impervious to logic. Consider the case of Ross Douthat, the latest Times' candidate for the \"intelligent conservative\" slot once held by William Safire. On Monday, he wrote an attention-grabbing column called \"The Great Consolidation.\" \"From Washington to Athens,\" he wrote, \"the economic crisis is producing consolidation rather than revolution, the entrenchment of authority rather than its diffusion, and the concentration of power in the hands of the same elite that presided over the disasters in the first place.\"\nIn Greece, for example, the European Union put in strict rules and deficit-reduction demands in exchange for a trillion-dollar bailout. As Douthat put it (without mentioning the deficit-reduction part): \"A crisis created by hasty, elite-driven integration will have led, inexorably, to further integration and a more powerful elite.\"\nThis is the perverse logic of meritocracy. Once a system grows sufficiently complex, it doesn't matter how badly our best and brightest foul things up. Every crisis increases their authority, because they seem to be the only ones who understand the system well enough to fix it.\nTo which you can only say: well, duh. It's all very pleasant and American to rail against elites, but nobody wants Joe the Plumber in charge of the economy. He'd still be trying to figure out the difference between M1 and M2 as all our M turned into pocket change. Most of us also prefer doctors who have been to medical school and nuclear plant operators who are not Homer Simpson. This is why the very best that the Tea Party's new \"Contract from America\" will achieve — on today's primary day or any other — is exactly what the old \"Contract with America\" achieved: minor, temporary reductions... and the increasing bitterness of fools who got fooled again.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 686, "token_count_with_eod": 687, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "Ranking Disney’s 55 Animated Features: From Worst to First, Part 8\n\nWalt Disney Feature Animation has released 55 animated films, with incredible films and classics throughout the list, since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937. But only one film is universally regarded by animation scholars and historians as Walt’s true masterpiece. Released in 1940, it’s a film that continues to stand the test of time due to its unforgettable combination of sight and sound, unprecedented leaps forward in the art of animation, some of the greatest character animation by the true masters of the art form ever put into a film, and songs that continue to resonate and stir the imagination today. That film is Walt Disney’s second animated film, a milestone in filmmaking that shows Walt and his studio firing on all cylinders, at the height of their creative genius–a film about a little wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy.\n\n#1. PINOCCHIO (1940). “When You Wish Upon a Star” has become such an indelible part of the Disney mythos that it’s hard to believe the song hasn’t always existed, springing up in perfect form the minute Walt was born in that small house on Tripp Avenue in Chicago. The idea of wishing and hoping for dreams to come true is part of the Disney legend, but it took hard work and incredible dedication to make his studio thrive and grow. It took Walt and his team throwing themselves wholeheartedly into an adaptation of Pinocchio, a story that began as a series of morality tales for Italian children, for this, his greatest film, to come to life.\n\nThe full story of the making of this masterpiece is best told in Pinocchio: The Making of the Disney Epic, by J.B. Kaufman. It’s an incredible historical document, due to the extensive notes taken during meetings and story sessions, but it’s also a deep dive into the amount of creativity was unleashed by Walt Disney and the rest of the studio at the height of their creative powers. Flush from the worldwide success of Snow White, the studio was growing (and moving to the current location in Burbank), and it seemed like the sky was the limit. Walt encouraged his artists and animators to try anything, to go for broke, and to push their art beyond what they had already achieved with the story of the princess.\n\nThe film didn’t have an easy start. Early versions of the title character were modeled closely on Carlo Collodi’s character in the book, who is rude, obnoxious, and extremely selfish. The original style of the character kept to the wooden puppet look of the book, and as animation progressed, Walt grew more to dislike the wooden boy. If he didn’t like him, then neither would audiences. Young animator Milt Kahl solved the dilemma by designing a new version, which basically removed the woodenness, giving Pinocchio the appearance of a little boy–which then resolved the character issue. Instead of a worldly-wise jerk, Pinocchio is instead a naïve innocent, and the events that come about happen to him because of his lack of understanding of the ways of the world–not because he is deliberately rotten.\n\nOf course, this meant that Pinocchio would need a guide to help him along the journey, and Collodi’s novel gave inspiration in the form of a nameless cricket who scolds the puppet for his bad choices. In the book, this makes Pinocchio so angry that he kills the cricket–who later haunts the puppet. Wisely ignoring that aspect of the story, Disney and the story team created Jiminy Cricket, brilliantly designed and animated by Ward Kimball. Jiminy is one of the greatest Disney creations, and he nearly steals the movie from the main character. Perfectly voiced by vaudevillian and early film star Cliff Edwards, Jiminy Cricket acts as the audience’s guide through the film as well, narrating the story and commenting on the action as it progresses. Wisely, Walt encouraged Kimball to remove most of what made the cricket actually look like a cricket, making the character less bug-like. This change in characterization helps Jiminy become a symbol of friendship, trust, and warmth (and explains his nearly second-billing status to Mickey Mouse as corporate spokesman). He also sets the standard for future Disney “sidekicks,” although he is much more than that to Pinocchio. Without Jiminy, there would be no mice in Cinderella, no Timon and Pumbaa in The Lion King, and no Olaf in Frozen.\n\nPinocchio‘s story is easily one of Disney’s darkest, with a quartet of bad guys out to keep Pinocchio not only from the straight and narrow, but from freedom. The Fox and the Cat may seem fun and silly at first, but they have no qualms about selling Pinocchio to Stromboli for a life of servitude, and hesitate at nothing to do it again when the Coachmen enlists their help to get boys to go to Pleasure Island. Stromboli is a pretty strong caricature of an Italian gypsy, and he even seems benevolent at first. Animated to perfection by Bill Tytla, it’s clear that the showman has a very strong angry current running beneath his bluster, and his threat to chop Pinocchio into firewood when he is no longer useful is clearly not just a threat. The Coachman, though, is truly a dark and twisted character who lures boys into “making a jackass” out of themselves, literally. His thrill for what he does (witness his transformation when he says, “They don’t come back–as boys!“) as well as his lack of concern (his interaction with poor Alexander, who can still talk) is truly evil. Whereas Stromboli is clearly cruel, the Coachman is sadistic. And, unlike any other Disney film, the bad guys get away. Nobody makes them pay for their crimes. And while we feel glad that Pinocchio escaped, what about the hundreds of other boys at Pleasure Island who did not escape, and were sent to the salt mines? That’s darker than even the darkest moment in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.\n\nThe design of the film itself is a fantastic representation of the attention to excellence, with every part of Geppetto’s woodcarving shop, Stromboli’s wagon, and even the city streets of Pinocchio’s village filled with rich details. Much of this is due to the influence of artist Gustaf Teneggren, a Swiss-born illustrator who had joined the studio during the making of Snow White. Although he only contributed a few elements to that film, his highly detailed style of illustration, full of rich woodwork and cobblestone streets, is felt throughout Pinocchio, giving it a very distinct flavor unlike any other Disney animated film. Only Sleeping Beauty would see the art direction control so much of the look of the film, but unlike that movie, Pinocchio would not be overwhelmed by Tennegren’s style. Instead, it’s a perfect combination of style and story. The camera moves slowly enough through the spaces to hint at the richly detailed world, fully lived in, and the audience is left wanting more time to explore the nooks and crannies of this world and its unique inhabitants.\n\nWalt left nothing to chance and had studio model makers build working models of the cuckoo clocks in Geppetto’s workshop for the animators to study. In addition, the studio moved beyond creating just drawn “character models” for the animators to refer to as they worked. In a practice that is still used today on both tradition and computer-animated films, maquettes were created to give artists a 3D model to look at and study as they drew the characters. To create lifelike motion for Stromboli’s gypsy wagon and the Coachman’s carriage, models were also built for study–but due to the difficulty of animating a realistic moving vehicle, the artists went to even greater lengths. The vehicles were filmed on miniature set using stop motion animation first, then each frame was transferred onto a traditional cel using an early Xerox photocopy process. The cels were then painted on the back and overlaid on top of background images with the cels of the characters. The shot was then completed using a special type of camera. All this work for merely a few seconds of screen time, but Walt wanted nothing to get in the way of the “illusion of life.”\n\nTaken for granted by audiences today, but one of the key standouts of this groundbreaking film, is the effects animation–the “stuff” that brings the film to true life. Flickering candles and flames, incredible rain and lightning, the twinkling wand of the Blue Fairy–every scene comes to life due to the incredible efforts of Disney’s effects animators who stopped at nothing to help the film come to life. A favorite example is Geppetto’s kitten, Figaro, whose whiskers and shading was done with white chalk on top of already painted cels. But nowhere is the amazing skill of effects artists evident than in the water effects during the climactic escape from Monstro.\n\nFor sheer scope, there’s nothing in the film that beats the water effects in Pinocchio. Today, no company would spend the amount of time and man hours to create an overwhelmingly beautiful–and terrifying–set of effects, but Sandy Strother did nothing but water effects for an entire year of his career. It’s incredible because it is detailed where it needs to be, impressionistic when it needs to be. Every drop of water explodes or move as it would in real life, but not replicating the exact way it does in the real world. Like the animated characters, the animated water helps tell the story, giving emotional depth to the chase. It’s not “lifelike” water, but it fulfills the illusion of life. As Genevieve Koskiput it, “This is the power of animation, to mold and morph reality to function as something familiar, yet fantastical.”\n\nIn two more areas, Pinocchio represented the best of what Disney and his team could do. The first is in the film’s unmatchable cinematography, which moved beyond what had even been attempted in Snow White, taking the film into the style and look of a live-action epic. The incredible “multiplane camera” that Ub Iwerks developed in the early 1930’s enabled Disney’s animation to do something animation, by it’s very nature, could not do: move in three dimensional space. In Pinocchio, this camera is used in nearly every shot. As Walt explained it on the Disneyland television show, the camera allowed every shot to be broken into several different levels (or “planes”), enabling the filmmakers complete control over how each level worked together.\n\nThere are many examples throughout the film, but the greatest, and truly one of the greatest sequences ever animated, is a 45 second shot that begins the morning after Pinocchio comes to life. 67 feet of animated brilliance, with the camera swooping and panning above and around and even through buildings as the village comes to life. As the Walt Disney Family museum tweeted during the launch of its new Art of Pinocchio exhibit: 🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞. That’s how many frames of film this impressive sequence takes–taking months to film, at great cost–just to help the film feel more “alive.”\n\nFinally, Pinocchio contains some of the greatest music–and songs–ever to come out of the Walt Disney Studio. Beyond the justifiably famous “When You Wish Upon a Star,” which never sounds better than when sung by the lonely cricket, the songs move the story along, give individual characters a chance to shine, and highlight the film’s bleak undertone once Pinocchio leaves the safety of Geppetto’s home. “Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee,” ostensibly a celebration of the actor’s life, but used to lure the puppet from his intended purpose and into slavery; “I’ve Got No Strings,” which Pinocchio sings onstage surrounded by puppets not as fortunate or lucky as him; “Little Woodenhead,” sung by Geppetto to introduce his “son” to the other inhabitants of the house, shows just how sad the old toymaker is. “Give a Little Whistle” has the worst intro of any song in any Disney film (Jiminy literally says, “Let’s sing it!” right before they do just that), yet it’s infectious, very showbiz, and gives the audience the assurance that whatever Pinocchio faces, he will have at least one friend by his side. Leigh Harline and Ned Washington won Disney’s first “competitive” Oscars for the score and “When You Wish Upon a Star,” and they couldn’t have been more deserving.\n\nPinocchio was a gamble on every level, because it wasn’t another princess film. It didn’t have the cute dwarfs going for it to add humor. It wasn’t as familiar a tale to American audiences as the fairy tale. Yet none of this held Walt and his team back. They embraced it and decided to shoot for the moon. Pinocchio was a box office failure on its first release, but in the nearly 80 years since, it’s been heralded for being more than just a great film of Walt’s golden age, but his studio’ greatest masterpiece: a stunning achievement in an untested art form that combined all the tricks and skills at his command.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 2960, "token_count_with_eod": 2961, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

{"text": "If you’re looking for the absolute best gaming monitor money can buy, you’re going to love the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ.\nIt supports 4K up to 144Hz and offers NVIDIA G-SYNC as well as true HDR viewing experience with full-array local dimming, stellar brightness, and wide color gamut.\nAdditionally, it features a premium design quality, RGB LED lighting, and more nifty gaming features.\nOf course, all this is going to cost you, and there are some things you should be aware of before buying this gaming machine.\nThe ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ monitor is based on an IPS panel with 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC), 178-degree viewing angles, and a 4ms response time speed.\nIt’s factory-calibrated to Delta E ≤ 3 and covers 97% of the DCI-P3 color space and 99% of the Adobe RGB making it fit for professional color-critical work.\nSo, if you’ve been after a monitor that excels at both gaming and professional use, you’ve found your holy grail.\nMoving on, the ASUS PG27UQ supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and has the display capabilities required for a flawless HDR viewing experience.\nWith a contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and a peak luminance of 1,000-nits for HDR content, details in highlights and shadows become incredibly vivid making for an otherworldly picture quality.\nIn order to deliver such impeccable image quality, the monitor features a full-array local dimming with 384 individual zones that help dim the backlight where it’s needed.\nMoreover, the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 144Hz HDR display uses the quantum-dot technology for the superior color gamut and contrast.\nFinally, 4K Ultra HD resolution ensures that there’s maximum detail and plenty of screen real estate as such high resolution on a 27″ monitor results in a high pixel density.\nThe ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ claims to support 4K at 144Hz and HDR.\nNow, with the current-gen hardware, you will hardly get passed 98Hz/FPS with G-SYNC at 4K HDR and decent settings anyway. So, it’s not a big issue at the moment, but will be in the future.\nThis raises the question whether the ASUS PG27UQ is worth it right now, or should you wait a few years for the next-gen GPUs that could actually utilize the full potential of the monitor by which time the price of the monitor would also be lower.\nWell, if you want the best gaming experience possible right now, you’ll have to pay the premium; With non-HDR games, you can enjoy 4K up to 144Hz and with HDR games, you can choose to sacrifice a bit of refresh rate for image quality or vise versa.\nEverything else about the monitor is top-notch; the ASUS PG27UQ input lag is a bit lower than 9ms, the response time of 4ms effectively removes trailing artifacts, and there’s minimal IPS glow and backlight bleeding, and no dead pixels whatsoever.\nFinally, G-SYNC HDR variable refresh rate technology ensures that the gameplay is buttery smooth even at lower framerates, without screen tearing and stuttering and no noticeable input lag penalty even for HDR gaming.\nThe ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 4K HDR monitor offers an abundance of features.\nYou will find ASUS’ GameVisual and GamePlus features which consist of customizable crosshair overlays, an on-screen timer and FPS counter as well as FPS, RTS, RPG, Racing, Cinema, sRGB, and Custom picture presets.\nIn addition, the monitor is flicker-free and has a low blue light filter, so you can game for hours to an end without straining your eyes.\nAnother cool feature of the ASUS ROG PG27UQ is that it can to emit the ‘Republic Of Gamers’ logos as well as customizable lighting onto your desk and/or wall.\nMoreover, the ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting allows you to synchronize monitor’s ambient lighting with the other Aura Sync compatible peripherals. The Aura Sync technology offers numerous different glowing patterns and color combinations.\nThere’s also a light sensor that can automatically adjust screen brightness according to the ambient lighting.\nFans of the backlight strobing technology will be disappointed to find out that the ASUS PG27UQ does not feature NVIDIA ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur).\nThe appearance of the monitor may appear too flashy to some, even when the light projection and RGB LEDs are turned off, but the design itself is very steady with a lot smooth ergonomic options including -/+ 35° swivel, 90° pivot, up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, and 100 x 100mm VESA mount pattern.\nConnectivity includes an HDMI 2.0, a DisplayPort 1.4, a headphones jack, and a dual-USB 3.0 hub. Both display connectors support HDCP 2.2, so you can also stream protected content from Netflix, Amazon Video, etc in 4K Ultra HD resolution. Also, the screen has an anti-glare matte coating which eliminates reflections.\nThe MSRP for the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 27″ gaming monitor is currently $1,999.99 which makes it one of the most expensive gaming monitors.\nAlternatively, you can get the Acer Predator X27 for the same price which is based on the same 4K 144Hz HDR panel. However, it lacks pivot adjustment and has less customizable RGB lighting, though it does have built-in speakers and an extra two USB 3.0 ports.\nThis high-end gaming monitor is obviously aimed at those with deeper pockets, while the rest will have to wait for the price to drop or simply go for a cheaper monitor.\nYou may be interested in the Dell UP2718Q which is almost as twice as cheap professional monitor with the same 384-zone FALD and true HDR support, but it has no gaming features such as G-SYNC and it’s limited to 4K at 60Hz.\nOn balance, the ASUS PG27UQ, along with the Acer X27, is definitely one of the best gaming monitors ever made, but just like all ground-breaking technology, it will cost you.\nThe ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ delivers an otherworldly image quality and a flawless performance. Moreover, it features a premium design quality and a plethora of gaming features. Its price, however, is not as appealing.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1423, "token_count_with_eod": 1424, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "You’re working on a snippet of code, and out of the blue, you happen to need a class of which you should only have one instance of, and which needs to be referenced by other classes.\nSounds like a job for a singleton! Or is it?\nRealistically speaking, if you’re using a singleton solely to store state, you are doing it wrong. What you’ve made isn’t a singleton — what you’ve made is a bunch of glorified globals. Using singletons to store state seems appealing at first, because you want to avoid using a global and every programmer knows that globals are evil. But using a singleton in this case is just abstracting the globals one layer back so that you can feel happy about your code not having globals.\nFurthermore, having globals will make your code unpredictable and bug-prone. This becomes exponentially worse as the number of dependencies in your singleton increases. If you are using a singleton because you need its global properties, it’s because you are not taking advantage of dependency injection (DI) / inversion of control (IoC). You should be passing the state around with IoC, not by creating a giant global and passing around the global fields.\nSingletons can’t be easily tested when they are integrated with other classes. For every class that uses a singleton, you will have to manually mock the singleton and have it return the desired test values. On top of this, singletons are notoriously difficult to debug when multi-threading is involved. Because your singleton is a major dependence for several classes, not only is your code tightly coupled, but you will also suffer from hard-to-find multi-threading bugs due to the uncertain nature of globals.\nOccasionally, you may be tempted to use a singleton to perform an expensive IO action exactly once, and then store the results. An incredibly common example of this is using a singleton for a database connection. But doing so in addition to having multi-threading will cause massive headaches unless your connection is guaranteed to be thread-safe.\nIn general, database concurrency will not be easy to implement if you are using a singleton for the connection. What you really want is a database connection pool. By caching the connection, you avoid having to repeatedly close and open new connections, which is expensive. As an added bonus, if you use a connection pool, you simply won’t need to use a singleton.\nYou just need a data transfer object. No need for a singleton here. And worse, giving your singleton access to methods that can modify the data makes your singleton a god object. It knows how to do everything, knows all of the implementation details, and is likely coupled to basically everything, violating almost every software development principle.\nWorse yet, using a singleton to provide context is a fatal mistake. If a singleton provides context to all the other classes, then that means every class that interacts with the singleton theoretically has access to all the states/contexts in your program.\nActually, this is really one of the few acceptable use for a singleton. Why? Because a logger does not pass around data to other classes, provides no context, and there is generally minimal coupling between the logger and the classes that require the logger. All the logger needs to know is that given some log request or string, it should output the log as a file or to the console.\nAs you can see, a logger will provide nothing to classes that require it — there is nothing to grab from the logger. Therefore, it’s impossible to use the logger as a glorified global container. And best of all, loggers are incredibly easy to test due to how simple they are. These properties make loggers an excellent choice for a singleton.\nIn the future, you’ll probably find a scenario where you’re considering using a singleton for any of the reasons above. But hopefully, you’ll now realize that singletons are not the answer — inversion of control is.\nIn Python, there are two types of arguments : Positional arguments and keyword arguments.\nA positional argument is a normal argument in Python. You pass in some data as input, and that becomes your positional argument.\nThere’s nothing unique or inherently special about positional arguments, but let’s say you have a function that evaluates your pet. Is your pet happy? Is your pet healthy? Is your pet playful?\nThat’s fine and dandy, but what does it look like when we call the function?\nThe result is correct, but the function call is absolutely unreadable.\nA reader who has never read the documentation for evaluatePet will have a difficult time understanding what it does. From a quick glance, it takes three booleans. But what do those booleans describe? Whether it’s alive? Whether it’s a ghost? Whether it’s a flying ten thousand feet tall purple dinosaur?\nThe solution to this issue of readability is to avoid using a positional argument, and instead use a keyword argument.\nA keyword argument is an argument that follows a positional argument, and allows the user to pass in arguments by explicitly stating the argument’s name, and then assigning a value to it.\nIn other words, you can call evaluatePet(True, True, False) in any of the following ways, without changing anything in the evalulatePet function.\n#Switching the order of the arguments.\n#the order can be anything you like.\n#are AFTER the positional arguments.\nHowever, there are some things that you can’t do.\n#\"Positional argument follows keyword argument.\"\n#Also will error for the same reason.\nIt would be a huge understatement to say that this is the only thing that keyword arguments can do.\nYou can also load in defaults.\nNow, all three arguments become optional, and become automatically assigned to False if that specific argument has not been assigned.\n#and the rest will automatically be False.\nConvenient, isn’t it? You can give your function a ton of default values, and then allow the user to change any defaults they don’t like, without requiring them to rewrite all the default values.\nUnderneath all of this magic, Python created a dictionary with a key value pair, where the keys are the argument names, and the values are the values you assign to those argument names.\nIf you want to prove this fact, you can use a true keyword argument by putting a double asterisk before an argument.\nIn other words, Python has been converting evaluatePet’s arguments into a dictionary.\nNaturally, Python wants the group of keyword arguments together, because it is cheaper to lump all the arguments together if they are all within one specific range (and not broken up between multiple ranges). In addition to this, Python can’t accept a positional argument after a keyword argument because it is impossible to determine which argument you are referring to. Are you referring to the first argument? Or the argument after the keyword argument?\nThese two reasons combined are why you can’t put in positional arguments, and then keyword arguments, and then another positional argument.\nSince there are only three arguments, and two of them are keyword arguments, the third argument must be “isPlayful”.\nSo while Python could potentially have allowed this special case to work, their mantra of sticking strongly to rules prevents you from doing so.\nIn a nutshell, keyword arguments are simply augments to Python’s core philosophy that “readability counts”. Without keyword arguments, readers must examine the documentation to understand what the arguments mean, especially if there are many arguments. The use of defaults also makes functions shorter if the user is unlikely to modify the defaults.\nShorter argument lists? Argument defaults? Understandable parameters? That’s elegant.\nYou’re sitting at your desk, glaring at your monitor, but it glares back at you with equal determination.\nEvery change you make introduces new bugs, and fixing a bug causes another bug to pop up.\nYou don’t understand why things are randomly breaking, and the lines of code just increase every day.\nHowever, by coding in a rigorous and specific fashion, you can prevent many of these issues simply by being slightly paranoid. This paranoia can save you hours in the future, just by dedicating a few extra seconds to include some additional safeguards.\nSo without further ado, let’s jump right into the top five tips for safer code.\nAs you call foo and bar and other functions, all of which depended on garbage_input, you find that everything has turned into garbage. As a result, functions will start throwing errors a few dozen passes down the line, and things will become very difficult to debug.\nAnother common mistake is attempting to correct the user’s input in potentially ambiguous cases, which leads to the second tip.\nImagine you had a box that exported values from 0 to 1 on a display, depending on the number the user passed in.\nThe technique shown above is known as clamping, which is basically restricting the value to a certain range. In this case, it is clamped to 0 and 1. However, the problem with the above example is that it is now impossible to debug the code.\nIf the user passed in bad input, you would get a clamped answer, instead of an error, and if the calculateValue function was buggy, you would never know. It could be slightly inflating the value, and you would still never know, because the values would be clamped.\nAs an exaggerated example, if calculateValue returned 900,000,000, all you would see is “1”. Instead of embracing and fixing bugs, this tactic throws them under the carpet in the hopes that no one will notice.\nIf your code is going to fail, then fail fast and fix it fast. Don’t try to polish garbage. Polished garbage is still garbage.\nMany programmers already adhere to this principle, but some do not.\nSince Python prevents the bug caused by double checking a boolean value, I will be using Java, as the bug can only happen in languages where assignment is possible in if statements.\nAside from being redundant and taking up extra characters, this practice can cause horrible bugs, as very few programmers will bother to glance twice at an if statement that checks for true/false.\nAt first glance, you would expect it to print out “1 + 1 is not equal to 3!”. However, on closer inspection, we see that it prints out “1 + 1 equals 3!” due to a very silly but possible mistake.\nThe programmer had accidentally set someBoolean to true instead of comparing someBoolean to true, causing the wrong output.\nIn languages such as Python, assignment in an if statement will not work. Guido van Rossum explicitly made it a syntax error due to the prevalence of programmers accidentally causing assignments in if statements instead of comparisons.\nThis is a nifty trick that piggy backs off the previous tip. If you’ve ever done defensive programming, then you have most likely seen this before.\nFlip the order such that null is first.\nNull is immutable, meaning you can’t assign null to the object. If you try to set null to obj, Java will throw an error.\nAs a result, you can prevent the silly mistake of accidentally causing unintentional assignment during equality checks. Naturally, if you set obj to null, the compiler will throw an error because it’s checking a null object when it expects a boolean.\nHowever, if you are passing around methods inside the if statement, it can become dangerous, particularly methods that will return a boolean type. The problem is doubly bad if you have overloaded methods.\nIn this example, the user expects foo to be passed in a boolean of whether or not x is equal to a constant number, 5.\nHowever, instead of comparing the two values, x is set to 5. The expected value if the comparison was done correctly would be false, but if x is set to CONSTANT_NUM, then the value will end up being true instead.\nIt doesn’t matter what language you use, always leave your uninitialized variables as null, None, nil, or whatever your language’s equivalent is.\nThe only exception to this rule is booleans, which should almost always be set to false when initialized. The exception is for booleans with names such as keepRunning, which you will want to set initially to true.\nIn particular, for Python especially, if you have a list, make sure that you do not set it to an empty list.\nThe same also applies to strings.\nThere is a world of a difference between a null/None/nil list, and an empty list, and a world of a difference between a null/None/nil string, and an empty string.\nAn empty value means that the object was assigned an empty value on purpose, and was initialized.\nA null value means that the object doesn’t have a value, because it has not been initialized.\nIn addition, it is good to have null errors caused by uninitialized objects.\nIt is unpleasant to say the least when an uninitialized string is set to “” and is prematurely passed into a function without being assigned a non-empty value.\nAs usual, garbage input will give you garbage output.\nThese five tips are not a magical silver bullet that will prevent you from making any bugs at all in the future. Even if you follow these five tips, you won’t suddenly have exponentially better code.\nGood programming style, proper documentation, and following common conventions for your programming language come first. These little tricks will only marginally decrease your bug count. However, they also only take about an extra few seconds of your time, so the overhead is negligible.\nSacrificing a few seconds of your time for slightly safer code is a trade most people would take any day, especially if it can increase production speed and prevent silly mistakes.\nYour friend, Ruby, goes out and buys Java a pet duck. But wait, on closer inspection, it’s not a duck at all! It just walks like a duck.\nAnd quacks like a duck.\n“What’s the matter?” Ruby asks.\n“It’s not a duck!” Java complains, distraught that the pet has no inheritance relations with the Duck class.\nSo what is duck typing?\nDuck typing is a feature that allows a language to call a method on an object, if it has the method. Ruby doesn’t care what the object is, but rather, what methods the object has.\nHowever, a caveat of duck typing is that the it tends to only be built-in to the language if the language handles type checking during runtime. This means that duck typing will only work on dynamically typed languages, such as Ruby. In languages like Java and C++, type checking is done during compile-time. As a result, if there is a type conflict, the program will not even compile. Languages that do type-checking during compile-time are called statically typed languages.\nThe type (int) is explicitly stated, which means that Java checks for types during compile-time, making it a statically typed languages.\nRuby sees that x was assigned a number at runtime. Since x was assigned a number, Ruby automatically knows that x must be a Fixnum.\nFirst, we need two different objects that have the same method name. However, the method can’t be given to the object via the same superclass, because it would instead be inheritance.\nLet’s take a look at a simple example of duck typing.\nputs \"I'm not a duck, but... Quack!\"\nI'm not a duck, but... Quack!\nIn Ruby’s mind, the Alien instance and the Duck instance are essentially the same. When we called the try_quack method, Ruby wanted an object that had a quack method.\nIn this case, when we passed in the Duck instance, Ruby saw that the Duck object would quack, so it called the Duck instance’s quack method.\nFor the Alien, even though the Alien class has nothing to do with the Duck class, it still has a quack method. As a result, Ruby happily calls the Alien class’s quack method.\nDuck typing is a powerful feature of Ruby that allows you to call methods on seemingly different objects, as long as those objects have the same method names. As a result, there is no need for inheritance. You simply call the method, and if the object has it, it will work.\nRuby doesn’t care who the object is, but rather what it is.\nYou open your favorite programming IDE, and right there. A glorious mess of spaghetti code. You have no clue what it means, and you can’t understand a single thing.\nBad code can waste precious hours of time, when it really should have only taken a few minutes to understand the code if it were refactored and cleaned up.\nSo today, I’ll teach you, in five simple tips, how to spare other programmers from facing a giant plate of spaghetti.\nEveryone knows this, but few actually do it correctly. First of all, and this is the critical, stop shortening your variable names. Yes, you can shorten the word “minimum” to min, but if you’re working on an application that handles time, your reader may think min refers to minutes. In particular, if you’re shortening a word, and that shortened word can possibly refer to more than one word, don’t do it.\nReaders may also be confused if your variable names don’t actually say what you mean.\nFor example, imagine if you created a variable called “days”. What does that mean? Days elapsed? Days before something happened? The amount of days in the month? Be specific. Refactor days to daysElapsed, daysInMonth. Do NOT put a comment and write “days refers to the days elapsed since …”. That is absolutely nonsense. Make your variable names self-explanatory.\n3. Keep It Simple, Stupid!\nIf you’re programming a certain function, be clear. Avoid using silly round-about ways. Especially avoid “clever” solutions. Clever and tricky solutions may be shorter or faster, but they can cripple reading speed. Usually, when people do these clever solutions, they will put comments everywhere to compensate for the fact that no one actually understands what they wrote, which ties into tip #1.\nThis principle also applies to re-inventing the wheel. If your language comes built-in with a feature, use it. Don’t re-implement a data structure that already exists. Often, it isn’t the programmer’s fault, though, since they might not know about the existence of a certain feature. However, this is not an excuse when you are working with other programmers. If what you wrote in 100 lines could be replaced by 1 line, then it should be refactored.\nA good object is one that knows only what it should know, and no more.\nA god object is one that knows too much, in particular, things that it shouldn’t.\nFor example, imagine you had a chair object. It should not know anything except for itself. If your chair knows your social-security number, how much money you make a year, and how many chairs there are around it, then your chair is either the world’s greatest secret spy agent, or it shouldn’t exist.\nAll variables in a class should be private, unless there is a very compelling reason for a variable to be public. There are very few reasons for a variable to be public, unless it is a global constant, such as Math.PI.\nThe inverse of this is also true. Stop exposing your privates! If your private variable does not require a getter, do not make a getter. You should be encapsulating your code.\nIf you have a rectangle class, and you only ever need its area, then don’t make a getter for its width or length. Just make a single public method that multiplies the private width and length variables.\nHide your implementation details! If you have a computer, and you just want to send an email, then there is no reason the user would need to know about the internal workings on the computer. The user doesn’t care how many volts the computer needs. The user doesn’t care about how many gigabytes of RAM the computer has. The user just wants to send an email. And your computer should allow them to do exactly that, in one simple function, without knowing anything else about the computer.\nRemember these five points, and you’re sure to write cleaner code.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "‘Dragon Quest Builders 2’ Is a Giant To-Do List, and I Love It\nIt's better than the original in nearly every way.\nby Cameron Kunzelman\nJul 11 2019, 7:02pm\nAll screenshots courtesy Square-Enix.\nDragon Quest Builders 2 is cute. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is simple. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is the game that I’ve been playing until 1 AM all week, completing “just one more task” before bed. If this is a measure of whether or not a game is good, then the game is excellent.\nFollowing on from the first game of the series, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a third-person crafting game that puts you in the shoes of a little Builder who is working through a ruined world trying to put things right again. It’s got more than a hint of a Minecraft vibe, and it asks you to travel around talking to people, doing quests, and building small townships where those people can live and those quests can have a major impact.\nOne of the reasons that I’ve been able to really tuck in to Builders 2 is that it is substantially more complex than the first game. I remember the distinct feeling I had when I realized that there was a second “world” to the original Builders: fatigue. While that game’s areas were distinct from each other, their basic core was so similar that your first couple hours were always basically grinding. The game simply didn’t have enough interlocked working parts to make me want to do that grind.\nIn contrast to that, I’ve spent a little shy of 40 hours in Builders 2 and I think that I’m somewhere around halfway through the game. I’ve experienced three different islands, and each of them has had enough novelty to them that I’ve gotten sucked into a task-completing vortex that I can’t quite shake. One minute I’m building a bath so that everyone in town can enjoy the warmth of a tub of water. The next I am building bunkhouses for my growing and appreciative population. Or I’m making a forge for a blacksmith or a kitchen for a chef. I learn the rooms, learn the desires of my people, and wow do they clap for me when I fulfill those desires. I took a break while writing this to go back and play for another hour. That’s where I’m at with this game. That’s the kind of hooks it has in me.\nMy compulsion to continue playing has something to do with some core principles at the heart of Dragon Quest Builders 2. On the one hand, it is fulfilling to do tasks that generate a benefit for someone else. It feels good to be nice. On the other hand, splitting objectives up into their smallest possible form as a way of accomplishing a big task is the most efficient and least stressful way to accomplish that larger project\nBuilders 2 excels at combining these two things. With a fairly limited set of verbs—build item, place item, destroy item—the game builds into this excellent crescendo of a dozen little denizens who put things in front of me to do for them. I am constantly chasing the warm and fuzzy feelings of these pseudo-Sims clapping and cheering for me because I grew an oak tree. I did a thing they needed, or didn’t need but ended up liking, and it made their life better. They’re into it.\nIt also means that I have a hard time cutting myself off from the game because it always feels like I am in the middle of a task. Each thing you do, after all, is part of the journey toward something. So I have to be honest when I say that, much like Crusader Kings II or Rise to Ruins, this is a game that can get away from me. I lose the hours.\nI’ve talked about complexity, good feelings, and small tasks. Talking about the game in these abstracts is simply my attempt to pull all of these things apart to try to get some language for what Builders 2 is doing to and for me on a mechanical level. It is surprisingly hard to talk about these abstract ideas, because each little piece is like a fractal that contains a whole other subset of interlocked feelings and impulses inside of it. The story is in lock-step with the mechanical progression. The items you find and the items you need and the way you use them all follow through, buttery smooth, from each other. The game’s design is extremely elegant, and that elegance makes it difficult to split it apart into its various pieces.\nThe simple fact is that all of this constructing, demolishing, harvesting, and gathering is nested inside of a big story that asks big questions about the nature of creation and destruction and dwells on how communities come together and break apart. The first major hours-long mission centers on repairing the Deitree, a forest god or spirit thing that protects the denizens of the farming-focused Furrowfield Island, and that quest both teaches the player how farming works and takes long pauses to listen to other characters talk about their religious conversion away from the destruction cult called the Children of Hargon. It’s weird, and unlike many other crafting-oriented games, Builders 2 gives these other characters a lot of time to talk, breathe, and develop.\nAnd so the full experience of Dragon Quest Builders 2 is getting small missions to make new kinds of food or explore new parts of a massive underground mine, and then doing those. Then you use the materials you’ve discovered to create new furniture or new types of room decoration. Then you build new rooms, or add onto rooms you already have, and make the denizens of your small town happier. You can spend that happiness to increase their abilities, and then they start cooking and building the things you ask them to do for you. It all spirals up, quickly, and goes from being Minecraft to being something like a combination of Dwarf Fortress and Animal Crossing. You start taking thirty minutes to make very, very fancy bathrooms or private apartments for each of your townspeople. Shit gets out of hand.\nFor all the thrill of it, there are also downsides. There have been times during my 40 hours where I have felt like I was simply treading water and rehearsing the cycle of fulfilling build requests and inventing new items for the sake of it. There have been truly cringeworthy story moments that hearken back to some of my problems with Dragon Quest XI.\nThe B-plot of the second island, Khrumbul-Dun, is particularly gross and weird: The town has a central bar operated by an older man and his daughter Babs. Everyone in the town, and I mean everyone, is constantly talking about how much they are attracted to this girl. The town metalworker, a much older man named Magrog, even says this during a discussion of who will win her heart: “That lass has looked up to me since she was a babbling baby. There’s only one fella in Babs’s eyes—Magrog, the mighty master of metalworking!” Eventually she puts on the traditional Dragon Quest bunny suit to get all these dudes hyped to mine metal and coal all day long. While the game walks a line around agency for her (she does, in fact, want to become a bar dancer like her mother), you also have to sit through so much leering text about her and her clothes and her shower and her private bedroom and everything else these miners want you to do.\nSo sometimes when you’re getting all this non-player character dialogue, it’s awesome because you’re learning about the world and the people who came before you and the reason that Builders are rare in this world. And other times it’s this vehicle for this legacy retrograde Dragon Quest content that I don’t care for even a little bit. But it is all part and parcel of this firehose of narrative that is strung together via small tasks that build into big mechanical and plot movements.\nThere is one character who is a more consistent part of your journey than the many NPCs that flitter through your stories and settlements, and it speaks to the complexity of Dragon Quest Builders 2 that I’ve made it all the way down to the end of this review without really talking about him, since he’s one of the selling points of this game. His name is Malroth, and he joins your self-named player character as both a constant ally in battle and as someone to help you smash and collect materials. I liked having him around because he cut my raw material gathering time in half, and he’s very solid in a scrap. Narratively, Malroth cannot create, he can only destroy, and from the outset there is both a loving alliance and a clear brooding weight between the player and the destroyer. He keeps trying to create things, and he keeps failing. It moves in predictable directions.\nThere’s also a multiplayer mode, but I did not get a chance to experiment with it during the review period because I was too invested in the Isle of Awakening, the game’s pseudo-sandbox where you can take all the things you learn on the various islands and bring them home to your own paradise. (That, too, is pretty cool.)\nDragon Quest Builders 2 is a big bundle of different mechanics and feelings. It rarely feels overwhelming, but it is a game that is definitely willing to give the player hundreds of potential items and directions and allow them to go wild with it. If you’re in it for plot, and you can stand the bad stuff, then it clicks right along. If you’re not, you can skip right through all of it without missing any of the basic beats. It’s a game that does not fundamentally change after hour two, but it does manage to take up as much time as you’ll put into it. Depending on how much you’re like me, that can get dangerous.\nOverall, I am deeply impressed with how Builders 2 iterates on the original. I can’t think of anything that I thought the first game should have that isn’t here, and as soon as I am done writing this I am going to dive back into the game so that I can learn more recipes, experiment with more rooms, and generally just fall deeper into the vortex that is this weird game. There really is nothing else quite like it.\nHave thoughts?

{"text": "On November 6th, people from across the country voted in their state’s Midterm Elections. Up for vote were 34 Senate seats, all of the seats in the House, and 36 gubernatorial seats. The Republicans have 53 seats in the Senate, 199 in the house, and 25 governors. The Democrats have 45 Senate seats, 223 house seats, and 23 governors. The other two Senate seats, which are the Florida and the Mississippi, are both leaning Republican as are the other two gubernatorial races. In the House, 6 seats are leaning Republican and 4 are leaning Democrat. This means that the Republicans have a majority in the Senate and will most likely have a majority among governors, whereas the Democrats have the majority in the House.\nJust looking at the numbers, this would not seem to be a win for the Republicans as they lost the House, which they recently controlled. However, if you look at previous elections, this is a victory for them. In 2010, which was the first midterm election under President Obama, the Democrats lost 6 senate seats and 63 house seats. In 2002, however, the Republicans kept both Houses under President Bush. This makes sense, given the political climate at the time and the war just beginning in Afghanistan. In 1994, during President Clinton’s first term, the Democrats lost 9 Senate seats and also lost 54 House seats. Given the history of first-term midterm elections, President Trump gaining seats in one of the chambers is a victory for the Republicans. Also, keeping the Senate is arguably more important than keeping the House. With control of the Senate, Trump can get his court appointments confirmed. The biggest problems with not having control of the House is the possibility of impeachment and a block of any future tax cuts. However, Trump has already gotten his big tax cut through, so he isn’t looking to do another one very soon. Also, impeachment isn’t a problem because the Senate has to remove the President from office, which won’t happen with a Republican Senate. Keeping the Senate will be more important for Trump than keeping the House because he can still get his appointments confirmed by the Senate.\nThis is why this was a victory of the Republicans. They beat history and gained a few seats in the Senate. However, they lost the House. The was a lesser evil for Trump, because he can do more with a Republican Senate than a Republican House. Even though the Democrats gained the House, this year was not a victory for them. It was still a decent election for them, because they took control of one of the chambers, but the Republicans still got what they needed to achieve their goals.\nThe House – With California’s 21st Congressional District, the last undecided race of the 2018 midterms, and the vast majority of election wins certified, the numbers are in: Democrats gained 39 House seats, securing a solid 234-seat majority for the next session. Central to their victory was the political shift among sparsely populated suburban areas that voted solidly Republican in 2016, delivering a net Democratic gain of 15 seats. Likewise, densely populated suburban districts that voted solidly Democrat in 2016 shifted more Democratic, with 12 more seats flipping. Overall, the shift was most profound in districts that voted for Romney and Trump in previous elections, accounting for one-third of Democratic pickups – a sharp rebuke of Republican policies that have ostracized many independent and conservative voters alike.\nThe Senate – In the Senate, Democrats fared better than expected, losing only 2 seats for a 53-seat Republican majority against a brutal electoral map: 74% of senate seats up for election were held by Democrats, the most seats any non-presidential party had to defend in midterms since 1914. In addition, Democrats overperformed in nearly every state, beating even partisan leans of 25+ points in states that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, like West Virginia – which he had previously won with a 36% margin.\nThe Voters – Both parties’ bases were highly motivated, with voter turnout increasing nearly 10% from the 40% national average; in Texas alone, voter turnout increased 14% to 46% total. Democrat Beto O’Rourke came to within 3 points of Republican Ted Cruz by winning over burgeoning urban voters that already, in five counties alone, encompass 43% of Texas’ population. The combination of high urban population growth and continued high voter turnout is projected to make Texas a swing state by 2024, and much more competitive in 2020, when Senator John Cornyn’s seat is up for election.\nThe Future – The recent news about Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference and current Democratic control of the House and its Judiciary Committee suggest more conflict ahead. It is necessary among Democratic and Independent voters to protect the Special Counsel – himself a lifelong Republican, former Marine, and 12-year FBI director – from executive interference. However, many Americans expect legislative gridlock in the coming session to stall policy-making at a time when national debt interest, accruing faster due to a recent tax overhaul and spending bill, will surpass defense spending. Moreover, the international status quo increasingly demands unified action.\nMy Opinion – Keeping in mind the above, the American people have delivered their most resounding verdict yet on the current status quo – one of bitterness, partisanship, and sociopolitical division ordained by populist demagoguery – by voting for checks and balance, rule of law, and reason in candidates professing different views than a Republican contingent that seems bent on abandoning its foundations of fiscal responsibility and constitutionality for political expediency, all the while championing the burning effigy of moral integrity. Its base, the Great Silent Majority of working-class, suburban, law-abiding taxpayers readily abandoned the vitriol and incessant scandals ushered in by this administration in favor of either tepid enthusiasm or the Democratic party. At a time when both parties are becoming more radical, and younger generations are expressing apathy or disdain for the democratic process, the solution is not to set fire to the opposing camp – calling upon an army of horrors, “trigger-words,” slippery slopes, or straw men – but to recognize the true enemy of any self-governing people: fear itself.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Login\n\nWildlife & Biodiversity\n\nA sniff to save\n\nIt can detect a person buried under six metres of snow. Pervez Cama, who travelled to the Swiss Alps, traces the history of St Bernard, a dog groomed to rescue travellers, and now part of popular culture\n\nLast Updated: Friday 16 December 2016 | 12:11:51 PM\n\nI was on an unusual mission in the snowy landscape of the Swiss Alps: to discover the history and antecedence of one of the world’s most popular dogs, the St Bernard. When we began our ascent, we were enchanted by the quintessential Swiss alpine scenery with its precipitous and thickly wooded hills, massive vertical rock faces and pretty, flower-decked wooden cottages. However, this was a difficult journey in inhospitable environs.\n\nThe final stretch of the road up the mountain was long, circuitous and seemingly endless. Every turn revealed a desolate landscape dominated by rocky terrain and boulders. All around, the characteristic jagged peaks of the lofty Swiss Alps kissed the sky. It looked daunting even from the comfortable ambience of our vehicle. Centuries ago, during winter, it would have been forbidding for a traveller to negotiate this treacherous mountain road from Martigny in Switzerland to Aosta in Italy.\n\nThe road finally opened out and a simple signboard announced that we had reached our destination—the Col du Grand St Bernard, a pass a height of about 2,470 metres. This is the oldest pass in the western Alps, and importantly, this is also the location of an ancient monastery on the border of the two countries—Switzerland and Italy—where monks live their pious lives. Ahead lies a lake, bordered by sheer stony walls that culminate in a line of intimidating tooth-like peaks, and beyond which, the road traverses the equally intimidating slopes that descend into Italy.\n\nIn 57 BC, Julius Caesar was looking for a shorter route from Gaul to Italy, and Caesar’s son, Augustus, ultimately proved triumphant over the belligerent Gallic tribes occupying the pass, crowning his victory by building a colony on the Italian side, called Aosta in his honour. A plaque announces that Napoleon and his army had marched through this road in 1800, enroute to Italy. A large statue of St Bernard of Menthon, the patron saint of the Alps, watches over this bleak landscape. He founded this monastery in 1049.\n\nSuch inhospitable surroundings naturally promoted austere living and spiritual leanings amongst his monastic order, and there were God’s subjects to be cared for as the harsh winter conditions caused many travelers to flounder and lose their lives with nine metres of deep snow and temperatures of —30°C. To assist in rescuing and guiding people through dangerous snowstorms, the monks developed a special breed of dog, known today to the world as the St Bernard.\n\nIntelligent guardians\n\nThe earliest record of this breed being used at the monastery dates back to paintings drawn in1690. The heroic dogs proved their mettle for about 200 years by helping the monks to save nearly 2,000 people exhausted and stranded in the mountain snows, right up to the 19th century. It is said that they could detect a person buried under six metres of snow.\n\nTheir massive and strong bodies could bulldoze a path through the snow, their huge paws helped in digging deep and their keen senses led people to safety. The last documented rescue occurred in 1955. A legendary dog, Barry, is estimated to have saved more than 40 lives, and his embalmed body is still preserved in the National History Museum of Bern, Switzerland.\n\nBut many dogs lost their lives due to avalanches. Incredibly, as the story goes, the younger dogs received little training from the monks and mostly learnt their search and rescue duties by accompanying the older dogs. Popular legend portrays the St Bernard going to the rescue missions with a barrel of brandy around its neck. But that is a fallacy as the monks used to actually strap packs of food and water around its back to revive travellers smothered beneath the snow.\n\nReigning as the national dog of Switzerland, the St Bernard dog is believed to have a common ancestor in the Alpine Mastiff, along with the English Mastiff and the Swiss Mountain Dog, a big breed raised by farmers and the pastoral community in Switzerland. The dogs themselves have evolved over the years into their present form after being crossed with several other large molosser type breeds and are related to the mastiff group of dogs. Terrible winter avalanches in the early 1800s obliterated many fine dogs in the line of rescue duty, and the remnants were mated with the New-foundland dogs, which led to the development of heavy fur.\n\nMajestic beings\n\nOld portraits reveal that the old working rescue dogs of the hospice looked different and had a smaller size than the current giant dogs, which are the result of breeding designed to enhance the breed’s majestic appearance and attractiveness. Their current dimensions are big and may range upwards of 70 cm in height and between 65 and 140 kg in weight. Modern day St Bernards can be both long and short haired and are popular worldwide because they are family dogs. Aptly nick named “babysitters”, they are eager to look after people, especially children, in their homes. They are gentle and friendly, and have been captured in various movies such as Beethoven and its sequels. The dogs require constant grooming and large spaces, and are known to harbour eye, bone and heart ailments that can run up steep medical bills.\n\nSome monks still reside at the monastery, while others visit it as a spiritual retreat. However, modern transport and a tunnel constructed below the mountain in 1964 made the dogs redundant. So the Barry Foundation in Switzerland purchased the dogs from the monks and established breeding kennels in 2004. The dogs are taken out by their handlers to interact with people and their sociable nature ensures much cuddling and thrills tourists.\n\nBut the dogs no longer patrol the frigid paths in the icy temperatures of winter for they are shifted to the ancient Roman town of Martigny during these months.

{"text": "Some people simply prefer libraries to study but they always resent being unable to eat and drink inside, at coffee shops, on the other hand, students are deprived of the encouraging atmosphere generated by being surrounded by books while studying. For those looking to combine the qualities of a library and a coffee shop, Sankofa, as both a bookstore and a cafe, is certainly there to check out. Amazing food and coffee, internet connection, convenient tables and power outlets… Just a perfect gem on 2714 Georgia Avenue near Howard University. Open all days from 09:00 a.m. to late evening.\nThree chairs and a table at Sankofa Video, Books & Cafe. Photo: Yelp / Nellie F.\nPlenty of tables, both inside and on the patio, power outlets and a free internet service on top of some of the best sandwiches and coffee you could find in all of D.C. are what Heat Da Spot delivers to our list. It is also hard to match the friendliness of the owner and the staff, just complementing the home feel of the cozy place. Five stars on Yelp will, by no means, be a surprise after your first visit to this Ethiopian diner. On 3213 Georgia Avenue, Heat Da Spot is open all days of the week.\nAn inside view of Heat Da Spot with a group of customers. Photo: Vidhika B.\nIn the same neighborhood as Heat Da Spot, Colony Club stands out with a significantly more spacious area, both in and outdoors. The owner has furnished the place to accomodate students of all ages, with many large tables and outlets available for those looking to study. The availability of a free and strong Wi-Fi connection makes it just easier to benefit from multiple resources while doing that. And when you feel like taking a short break from your material, the ping pong table upstairs could offer a rather joyful one. Besides, there is no chance you would regret the food or coffee you would be served here. Just make sure you drop by before noon on Fridays and Saturdays when it closes at 12:00 a.m.\nGranted, this is not as big as the Colony Club but offers just the calm environment you would need while studying. Plus, their freshly baked pastries and coffee are simply something to return to, not to mention the convenient patio, which would probably be better for studying since Spring is just around the corner now. On 1926 17th Street, Three Fifty Bakery and Coffee Bar opens as early as 7:00 a.m. all work days and serves till 7:00 p.m. The working hours are slightly shorter on weekends.\nWhen the word ‘coffee’ is pronounced, there are only a few countries to be automatically remembered by most people and Ethiopia is certainly one of them. Originally hailing from the Eastern African country, the owner of Sidamo has done but all to make this place nearly perfect for those willing to study. In walking distance from the Union Station, this cozy coffee shop, too, offers its customers a fine Wi-Fi connection. Just remember to ask for the credentials at the register. And you better arrive sooner than later in the day in order not to be disappointed seeing a packed room inside.

{"text": "The New Jersey Supreme Court has unanimously held that private claims for contribution made pursuant to the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act (the “Spill Act”), N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11f(a)(2)(a) are not subject to the general six-year statute of limitations contained in N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1.\nMorristown Assoc. v. Grant Oil Co., (A-38-13) (073248) (January 26, 2015). This decision leaves the door open for contribution plaintiffs to file suit against all parties who may have contributed to contamination, regardless of how long ago their contribution occurred.\nIn Morristown Associates, the owner of a multi-tenant shopping center in Morristown, New Jersey leased property to a dry cleaning business, which had an underground storage tank (“UST”) to store fuel oil for its boiler. Around 1988, deterioration of the UST caused fuel oil to leak into the soil and groundwater. The leak, however, was not discovered until 2003 when a monitoring well near the UST revealed the contamination. Id. at 7.\nFollowing the discovery of the contamination, plaintiff, the owner of the shopping center, began to remediate the property and later brought claims for contribution against the owner of the dry cleaning business, as well as the oil companies who provided fuel oil for the UST. Id. at 7. Under the Spill Act, a party who cleans up contamination has a right of contribution against other responsible parties. N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11f(a)(2)(a). The purpose of a contribution claim is to help ensure that parties do not pay more than their fair share of cleanup costs, especially when they are only responsible for a small portion of a site’s overall contamination.\nDespite the absence of a specific limitation period in the Spill Act, the trial court ultimately applied the general six-year statute of limitations for injury to real property to the private claims for contribution, and found that the owner’s claims were time-barred. Id. at 9; see N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1. On appeal, the Appellate Division affirmed the trial court’s ruling, relying in part on prior precedent that general statute of limitations are “applicable when particular statutes did not set forth a specific limitation period.” Id. at 10-11.\nFor potentially responsible parties, this decision confirms that no matter how much time passes, a party can be subject to a contribution claim.\nIf you are involved in the cleanup of a contaminated site with multiple potential responsible parties and have questions regarding a contribution claim, please contact Heidi Minuskin, Deborah Kelly or Michelle Murphy.\n1While the trial court found, in the context of evaluating the applicability of the discovery rule, that a property owner has an affirmative obligation to investigate its property for all potential areas of concern when they are put on reasonable notice, the Supreme Court did not address this issue. The timing of when contamination is discovered is now moot since there is no statute of limitations for contribution claims.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 669, "token_count_with_eod": 670, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

The selected coastguard officials work in Zailac, Hargeisa, Maydh, and Berbera. The immigration officers are based in Hargeisa and Berbera.\nThe senior officials include the Deputy Regional Governor of Sahil Region, the Mayor of the District of Berbera and Berbera’s Immigration Department Officer.\nThe training focuses on increasing the capacity of relevant government officials in protection, awareness and data management of Yemeni refugees, Somali returnees and migrants from Yemen. After the training, IOM will donate office and communications equipment to Somaliland’s Berbera immigration office.\nBy the end of the training, the participants will have gained vital skills in protection of vulnerable groups, how to respond to individual and mass arrivals, and in data collection, storage and management.\n“Many coast guards and immigration officers across Somalia are trained on the job. Given the limited funding available to the government for continuous professional development, support from KS-Relief is vital in ensuring that vulnerable families fleeing the conflict in Yemen are treated in a dignified and humane manner. IOM deeply appreciates this ongoing support,” said Gerard Waite, IOM Somalia Chief of Mission.\nThe training is part of a USD 10 million project that will benefit almost 20,000 people who have to date fled to Somalia from war-torn Yemen.

The Taliban promptly claimed responsibility for the attack.\" (05/25/16)\n\n\"After all these months of investigation, CENTCOM concluded 'this tragic incident was caused by a combination of human errors, compounded by process and equipment failures.' This is the same thing the Pentagon said after their initial investigation in November.

Just this week, the Associated Press reported that upwards of 40 percent of Afghan security forces are 'ghosts' -- soldiers and police who exist on the books but are otherwise nowhere to be found.

{"text": "We live in a world where more and more people are getting into health and fitness and exercise is a big part of and. Most of us who want to exercise do it at the gym and this takes quite a lot of effort, discipline and money and because of this, you need to make sure that the work you put in is effective. Even though any exercise is good if you want to truly maximise the effects you need to do it the right way. Here are a few tips to help you out.\nCardio is something we need to do in order to lose weight but it’s something almost everyone hates. It tends to be boring and long and for people living a fast-paced life, this is not the best way to exercise. High intensity interval training ( HIIT for short) is one of the most effective ways to do cardio. It’s short but extremely hard and more effective when compared to normal cardio so you will get more out of the time you spend.\nIf you are someone lifting weights as part of your workout go as heavy as you can. Sticking in the 5-8 rep range is considered to be the best as this puts your muscles under more strain the weights that will allow you to do 10 – 12 reps. However, you need to be careful and know your limit when doing this as the heavier you go the more dangerous it can become.\nThis is one of the most important things you can do but most people ignore it. Over time our bodies get used to the exercises we do and they tend to decrease the effectiveness. Because of this, it’s important that you change your work out from time to time. Six weeks is a good interval for you. You can repeat some exercises but try to change the majority as this will challenge your body more. On the other hand, it can also make things fresh and interesting.\nNo matter how much you work out the food you eat can have a huge impact on your health and wellbeing and you need to make sure that you look into these things. A healthy diet and good sleep are vital for a healthy body.\nGoing to the gym and working out is a lot of effort so you need to make sure that you get the most out of it.

{"text": "What is the Research Credit?\nTech Advances Drive Manufacturing Investments back to U.S.\nBy Brian Lefever|2019-01-16T10:27:13-06:00November 17th, 2017|News|\nManufacturing at long last is enjoying a revitalization in the U.S. as companies from around the world invest in the country’s operations – a key development in President Donald Trump’s quest to make America great again.\nBut presidential policies may not be the primary driver of the manufacturing shift back to the U.S. – and an industrial return isn’t expected to create nearly the same number of jobs that factory floors maintained in decades past.\nIt appears to be technological innovations, rather than policies or an availability of labor, driving the manufacturing renaissance. And with operational advances extending well beyond the reaches of Silicon Valley and into Rust Belt communities in the Northeast and Midwest, many believe the country is well-positioned to be a leader in advanced manufacturing for years to come.\n“The reason is, candidly, it’s less about the manufacturing people. It’s more about the technology,” Mike Marusic, COO of Sharp Electronics, said Wednesday during an event hosted by Bloomberg.\nMarusic said Sharp is one of several companies that has chosen to increase investment in the U.S. rather than seeking out “traditional manufacturing places” like China and Thailand in recent years.\nOther companies include medical device manufacturer Insulet – which broke ground last month on a new central Massachusetts facility that’s expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the area after spending several years operating a production outfit in China – and General Electric, which has tweaked investment plans in recent years to funnel more resources into U.S. facilities rather than in countries with historically lower labor costs like Mexico and China.\nEven Foxconn, a Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer that helps assemble popular products like iPhones, recently announced plans to build a Wisconsin facility and develop operations in the U.S., despite its proximity to what have historically been considered countries with cheap labor.\nThe Reshoring Initiative advocacy group estimates 338,000 jobs migrated to the U.S. from overseas between 2010 and 2016. The country on net is estimated to have gained 25,000 manufacturing positions last year – meaning more jobs returned to the U.S. than were offshored in 2016 for the first net gain in years.\nAt the heart of this revitalization, Marusic said, is the wave of technological advancements and the rise of the internet of things within the U.S., or the trend toward household items like coffeemakers or refrigerators carrying internet connectivity and data-tracking capabilities.\nAs 5G mobile and wireless networks become the norm domestically and local researchers make more progress toward developing artificial intelligence capabilities that could revolutionize both industrial processes and consumer interactions, Marusic said America’s vibrant tech and startup scene puts it in a great position to attract manufacturing companies of the future.\n“That will change, kind of, how information is moved around,” he said. “We’re seeing it more come this way into the U.S. than to traditional manufacturing places.”\nBut the return of manufacturing work hasn’t necessarily equated to the return of manufacturing jobs. Industrial output has been strong during the past year, and exports have perked up as economies around the world wake back up from several years of economic malaise.\nAnd yet manufacturing payrolls in the U.S. have grown by less than 900,000 – less than 8 percent – during the past seven years. Over that same period, America’s total number of employed workers expanded by nearly 16.3 million – or 12.5 percent.\nAs “smarter” factories and more advanced industrial processes become the norm, fewer workers will be needed to do the same amount of work – reshaping entire industries and the skills required to be a manufacturer.\n“I think that will certainly be a trend that opens up a new series of questions that companies have to deal with,” Shelly Swanback, the group operating officer at Accenture Digital, said Wednesday. “It totally changes the game in terms of where you want to do that and the workforce that you need to have.”\nMarusic and Swanback were joined on Wednesday by several panels of experts who laid out exactly what makes America’s digital economy competitive and what to expect going forward.\nSeveral of those present highlighted the relative leniency with which U.S. regulators treat the storage and transmission of vast stores of consumer data. Europe, comparatively, is much more strict about the handling of consumers’ personal information.\nThe testing and development of smart toasters, refrigerators and digital devices in the home, for example, would be much harder to carry out in a country with more hefty regulatory burdens than in the U.S.\n“Europe is very, very restrictive of where the data goes,” Marusic said, noting that the U.S. is well positioned because “technology has to remain in certain regions because it’s all data-driven” and may be appealing to companies in ways Europe is not.\nThat’s not to say the U.S. doesn’t face international competition on the innovation front. France was one of a handful of nations not typically known for its innovation and startup culture to be praised at Wednesday’s event, along with nations like Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.\n“Dubai, their whole mantra is they want to be the happiest place in the world. So everything they do is around that,” Swanback said. “They tend to be a place that can make investments that have a little bit of a longer term [impact]. … It’s powerful [for innovation] when you can make some of those investments and experiment without that immediate return.”\nSource: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-10-25/tech-advances-drive-manufacturing-investments-back-to-us\nAuthor: Andrew Soergel\nAbout the Author: Brian Lefever\nTime Management Tips for CPAs\nMillennials Now Make Up Largest Workforce Generation in US\n7 Reliable Ways to De-Stress After Work\nTips to Boost Your Productivity at Work\nWhat Does Nexus Have to Do With the R&D Tax Credit?\nThe 4-Part Test\nA Deeper Dive into Qualified Research Expenses (R&D Tax Credit)\nWhat Determines a Qualified Research Activity?\nComplete Form 6765 For Free\nCopyright © 2008-2018 · Titan Armor R&D Tax Credit Documentation Software", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 1368, "token_count_with_eod": 1369, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}
{"text": "MLK and Rosa Parks. Paris, 2016.\nIn other words, after having marked, through strikes or abstention, the void that their absence from social life would deepen, those who define themselves as “heirs of colonial immigration” and “victims of racist speeches and acts whose structural character makes them a system” will reappear to “occupy the place”, claiming “equality and dignity for all”. I hope that this original initiative will be a success, and here is why.\nThe language she uses, that of “political anti-racism”, will certainly not be unanimously accepted. But it is right, making the voice of those who suffer daily from the violence of racism in our “country of human rights” heard loud and clear. It can be endorsed by anyone, citizen or resident, who wants to join or support them out of solidarity and concern for the common future.\nIn addition, there are intersections with other forms of discrimination, particularly class and gender. That is why we must be careful about simplifications. I am not enthusiastic about the opposition between “racialized” people, amalgamated into a single group, and a “white privilege”, which is very random from one place or country to another, whose invocation may also favour the “identity” policies that are now galloping in Europe and the United States.\nBut these precautions must not prevent us from naming the process of ubiquitous racialization: segregation of certain populations, discrimination against individuals because of their colour or origin, and finally dehumanization of entire groups through the denial of their history and the denigration of their cultures.\nAbove all, the multiplicity of forms of racism is nowadays subject to a triple over-determination that concentrates and intensifies it to the intolerable: by the way in which the neoliberal state implements the “population law” of globalized capitalism, playing off against each other all forms of precariousness, nomadic and sedentary; by the imposition of ethnocultural stereotypes in our postcolonial society, maintaining stigmatizations that resemble the old ones to be mistaken. Because it must be said, the French Republic has never learned the necessary lessons from decolonization, either in its foreign policy or in its perception of its own people.\nShould we, therefore, talk about state racism? I am convinced that this is necessary, beyond partial equivalents such as “systemic racism” and “institutional racism”, which do not really point to strategic responsibility.\nYes, state racism can exist and flourish, spreading throughout the population, even when it is not officialized (although there are abuses on this side in France, as shown by the laws of exception against manifestations of membership of Islam). It is sufficient, and this is decisive, for the state to tolerate or justify violence by its constituted bodies (in particular the police) against populations identified by their “facies” or by their “specific dangerousness”, and for it systematically to refrain, in the name of liberalism or even “equality of citizens”, from implementing policies that would attack what a prime minister once dared to name “a territorial, social and ethnic apartheid”, as its principles would nevertheless require.\nThis is a crucial point. It shows that the anti-racist struggle, which must be constantly mobilized against the state or its representatives, must also be conducted within the state, in the broad sense that organizes and institutes all social relations.\nThat is why an initiative like the Rosa Parks must be supported by associations, activists and elected officials and converge with their own efforts inherited from the democratic tradition, internationalism and anti-colonialist struggles, even if the invention of the common language and the sharing of responsibilities are not easy.\nPerhaps this will allow us to correct the terrible “slip-up” represented by the recent decision to remove from the constitution, not (as has been said or believed) “the notion of race”, but the prescription of equality “without distinction of race”.\nThe Collective’s initiative is political in fact, and in several ways: by the radicality of its criticism of the racist system that affects entire populations in our country; by the creativity it shows and the impetus it can give to multiple resistances; by the hand it extends, in the name of equality, to all those affected by precariousness and threatened by the authoritarian abuses of power.\nNot to mention the shift towards the concrete that it could make within a public debate that was going in circles in the duel between sovereignists and Europeans.\nAdapted from Avec les “Rosa Parks”, contre le racisme d’État.

{"text": "After a successful weekend of online NFL betting, sportsbook US players are ready to find the best NFL bets to make on Week 2’s matchups. Generally speaking, the NFL saves the best matchups for Sunday night and this weekend’s SNF matchup is a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game. Naturally, there are some great offshore sportsbook lines to take advantage of.\nAnybody placing sportsbook bets during last year’s playoffs can vividly recall the NFC Championship match between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons: a back and forth shootout that ended in an Atlanta landslide. The Packers’ defense had plagued them all season long and it came up short for them once again when they needed it most.\nIt was a game for the ages and this weekend’s matchup is sure to come through. Considering how lopsided the scoreboard was at the end of the previous meeting between these two, sportsbook US players can expect the betting lines to come out in favor of Matt Ryan and company. However, there might be some good action available on the Packers.\nThe Falcons opened up the 2017 season by traveling to the Windy City and taking on the Chicago Bears. Atlanta was able to gain 372 yards of total offense on the day, but it still felt like it was a lackluster performance from an offense consisting of Ryan, Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman. Nevertheless, the Falcons came out on top decisively 23-17.\nMatt Ryan performed like his usual self, finishing the day with 321 yards, a single touchdown and a passer rating of 116.1. The running game struggled to gain momentum, only putting up 68 yards on 23 carries. Against the Packers, Ryan should have no problem carving up a secondary that hasn’t seen much improvement since last year.\nThe Packers had a tough challenge right off the bat: taking on the Seattle Seahawks. Luckily for the Pack, they got the benefit of enjoying home field advantage in that contest. Green Bay’s offense struggled early in the day but finished extremely strong, posting 2 touchdowns and a field goal in their final 3 possessions of the game.\nAaron Rodgers had a mediocre day by his standards: 311 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception and a 61.1 QBR. The running game was better than expected as they would finish the day with a total of 84 yards and an average of 3 yards per run attempt. It should be noted that the Packers defense forced a sack-fumble that was the tipping point in the game.\nBest Sportsbook Bets to Make: As aforementioned, the Packers defense is still relatively the same and it wouldn’t be wise to expect Matt Ryan to have an off day this Sunday. That said, there’s enough value on the Packers straight-up to consider backing Rodgers in his revenge tour to Atlanta. On top of that, Green Bay had little difficulty scoring on the Seahawks – widely considered to be one of the best defenses in pro football, so this will definitely be a shootout.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Friday, February 09, 2007\n\nBurns Supper leftovers: a savoury leek souffle\n\nPhotos updated in September 2008\n\nI realised last week that 'thick leeks' in Scotland must be much smaller than 'thick leeks' in Estonia. Otherwise I wouldn't have ended up with so many leeks after making the cock-a-leekie soup for Burns Supper. Sue Lawrence's recipe prescribed 6 'long, thick leeks', which I dutifully bought. However, after halving and rinsing and slicing just three of these monster leeks, I realised I already had more than enough. As I didn't use all the leeks I had bought for the soup course, then I had lots of leftover leeks after the party. Suddenly I remembered a recipe for a leek souffle on the Danish Arla site, which I had bookmarked a while ago. I adapted a little, resulting in a savoury souffle made of a simple bechamel sauce and sliced leeks - easy and different.\n\nHalve the leeks, rinse and slice thinly.Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir until combined. Add milk, little by little, stirring thoroughly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.Cool a little, stir in egg yolks, one at a time. Season with salt and pepper, add leeks and most of the grated cheese.Whisk the egg whites until thick and fluffy, fold gently to the rest of the ingredients.Pour into a greased 3-litre oven dish, sprinkle with some cheese and bake at 175 Celsius for about 55 minutes, watching it puff up nicely.\n\nThe leek souffle should be served straight after coming out of the oven, as it collapses slightly when cooling down. Makes a lovely side dish to some grilled meat, or as a vegetarian main course.\n\nIf you want to know what I did with the leftover neeps&tatties, then you have to come back next week:)\n\n6 comments:\n\nrachel\nsaid...\n\nI am SOOOOOO making this souffle this week. I've been eating a lot of pasta lately and making my own pasta sauces (with varying ingredients, but always leeks, at least). I love leeks, and this should mix up my mid-week menu nicely.\n\nRachel - it was rather leek-heavy, so if you like leeks, you'll like this:)\n\nJohanna - thanks! You've just reminded me that I should sign up for an organic veggie box (at least until the summer, when I'll rely on our mums:)\n\nJeanne - don't worry - it wasn't one of those really light and fluffy souffles, as there were so many leeks (and though it did collapse a little when I took it out of the oven, then the leeks kept it in shape:) I really liked the dish!", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 622, "token_count_with_eod": 623, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

Today, let’s take a look at one of our recent Tips, Tools and Techniques videos which focuses on using stencils and modeling paste.\nThis gorgeous birthday card features shades of blue PanPastel blended over the polka dots. The modeling paste picks up more of the PanPastel, creating the darker shading on the dots. This is such an easy technique – but makes such a big impact!\nThe second card features the modeling paste polka dots on a Cool Pool panel of cardstock. But after it dried, Kim added some Cool Pool ink over the top. In this case, the modeling paste doesn’t pick up as much color, so this darkened just the background in a dreamy under-the-sea sort of way!\nLastly, Kim added her stencil back on to mask some of the beautiful background, and added Jane Davenport’s Scallop Shell Squid Ink over the top of the stencil. This allowed her to target just the dots with the extra layer of ink.\nYou DEFINITELY need to watch this video and then try these coloring variations with modeling paste and stencils.

Last October, UBS warned that bitcoin exists in a “speculative bubble”, and CEO of the bank, Sergio Ermotti, reiterated this belief in his declaration that he is “not necessarily” an advocate of cryptocurrencies.\nErmotti asserts that blockchain technology has the potential to “transform the cost base” of the finance industry “in the next 5 to 10 years.” The major banks are endeavouring to stay relevant, but only time will tell whether the somewhat unfamiliar technology will thrive in a financial sector that remains somewhat dubious towards blockchain.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Wednesday, June 30, 2010\n\nHello all! I've just arrived back from my trip to Eastern Washington. I didn't get much blogging done over there due to a forgotten camera cable and let's face it, food blogging without photos is a little dull.\n\nWhile there was plenty of cooking this past week, I quickly remembered the difficulty of transcribing the off-the-cuff chaos that is Mother Humble's cooking. Still, I may take a stab at her cheese souffle...\n\nAnyway, the reason I'm posting this is just to let folks know I'm still alive and well.\n\nI'm aware it is rather unlike me to allow a week to pass without a post but I've been quite busy with family, travel, and non-blog related work. I've decided I'm going to take a few days to get things in order and wrap up a few projects before I start popping goodies into the oven again.\n\nHave a happy holiday weekend (to those in the U.S.) and I'll see everyone next week!\n\nThursday, June 24, 2010\n\nOkay, getting back to the pie contest. Yes, I know it has been a while, but judging this one wasn't as simple as drawing paper slips. I actually had to cook and eat these pies, something that is usually best spread out over a few days.\n\nSo, earlier this month, after reading the comments regarding your selections for the pie contest, I chose a number of pies from them to test and taste. I baked those 'chosen-pies'--or in some cases didn't bake the pies--over the course of this week and finally, I have one pie that stood out as a winner.\n\nIt wasn't an easy choice, there were a lot of really great entries and they were notable for such a wide variety of reasons that judging them ended up being very tough. All the pies I made were great, but one stuck out. It was really easy to make (this wasn't a point I judged the pies on, though it is certainly a bonus), it is unique, the pie's background is interesting and of course, it is darn tasty.\n\nI've never had anything like it. It struck me as a bit of a cross between pecan pie (minus the pecans), sticky toffee pudding and gingerbread. Gooey on the bottom, a moist cake-like layer and then a sprinkling of crumbles on top. I thought it was good plain... then I had some lightly sweetened whip cream with it. So good! I can only imagine what it would be like with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream... nom.\n\nWhat surprised me about this pie was the sweetness, or rather, how not overwhelmingly sweet it was. With all the sugary syrups involved, Mr. Humble and I had both anticipated a really sweet dessert. However when we sat down with our slices of pie this week, we were pleasantly surprised by the pie's coy sweetness and how well balanced it is with the spices.\n\nSo making this pie...\n\nSadly, King Syrup or Golden Barrel Table Syrup isn't readily available in my area, so I followed Sallie's recommendation for a substitution. (I used roughly 1/3c Light Corn syrup, 1/3c Molasses and 2 Tablespoons Honey. Those outside of the U.S., one should be able to substitute golden or invert syrup for the corn syrup and dark treacle for the molasses.)\n\nPreheat oven to 400°. Line an 8” or 9” pie plate with pastry and flute edges. Whisk together all of the above dry ingredients then cut in shortening or butter with pastry blender until it has appearance of crumbs.\n\n(Optional note from Ms. H: You might consider a partial blind baking of the crust before filling and baking. Not all pie pans are created equal and with a wet filling like this, some may have a little trouble.)\n\nCombine the syrup and hot water then stir in the baking soda, vanilla and egg. Place a third of the crumbs in a layer on the bottom of the pie shell.\n\nPour about half the syrup over the crumbs.\n\nLayer in another third of the crumbs followed by the remaining syrup. Scatter the remaining crumbs over the entire top. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° and bake for 20-25 more minutes. Remove pie from oven and let cool on rack.\n\nMarvel at how warm and cozy your kitchen smells for about 10 minutes before cutting a slice and burning your mouth.\n\nI agree with Sallie that this pie is best served still slightly warm. Naked though? Certainly it is very good, but how can you resist an opportunity to use whipping cream?! LOTS and LOTS of whipping cream.\n\nMr. Humble helped himself to a huge slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Me, I'm partial to whipping cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon.\n\nThis is one recipe I'm happy to have added to my books. Now I'm off to have another slice...\n\nSallie (see, I'm spelling your name right this time around), I'll be in contact with you via email soon.\n\nWednesday, June 23, 2010\n\nI will be blogging from the road again next week it seems. Just for a few days, don't worry. Mother Humble is in town again tomorrow and she will be dragging my three siblings and I to Eastern Washington. This is a annual method of Humble family tortu...family bonding. Forcing us Seattle based offspring to get a little vitamin D.\n\nUsually I melt the moment the mercury climbs over 70°F and develop an instant lobster-red sunburn (despite copious amounts of SPF55), while Mother Humble contently suns herself like a lizard.\n\nMother Humble tends to cook up a storm on these trips, so I will probably have a chance to share one or two of her recipes.\n\nSo, today's dish. Gelato. Yum! Though, I'm not exactly certain this is a \"gelato\" rather than an ordinary \"ice-cream\". Defining these things is complicated and I'm just happy to eat the stuff, so I'll leave it to the team at Gourmet Magazine (RIP) to label this dessert.\n\nI know some of you will be tempted to omit the booze and use something else. However we're not just using it for flavor, like the air in the ice cream, the alcohol helps give this dish a softer texture. Alcohol has a freezing point below that of water, temperatures below those of an ordinary home freezer. So, where ordinary juice would freeze solid, alcohol stays fluid.\n\nAlso, if you don't wish to drop $50 on a bottle of PAMA pomegranate liqueur, feel free to use an off brand. I'm using PAMA's ridiculously named cousin: Luscious Pomegranate Pleasure. I don't really drink so I can't tell you if one tastes better than the other, but I do think the Lusci...LPP's garish red hue helps boost the color of the ice cream.\n\n1/2 - 1 cup chopped dark chocolate (optional)*You may use other brands of pomegranate juices, just make sure it is 100% pomegranate juice. I've seen several brands that are diluted with grape juice.\n\nIn a medium, heavy-bottomed sauce pan, whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally, then once boiling, whisk constantly for two minutes. Remove from heat, pour through a mesh strainer into a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients.\n\nChill this mixture in the refrigerator until very cold.\n\nOnce cold, add the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If using, add the chocolate during the last 5 minutes of churning. Once finished, transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.\n\nSoften gelato slightly in refrigerator, about 20 minutes, before serving.\n\nI did it! I complied and cut out a million-billion little strips of paper yesterday! Okay, so it was closer to six or seven-hundred slips of paper. Still, that's a lot!\n\nI started out hand writing each email address or ID on to the strips. I eventually realized that such a method isn't wise, given how my penmanship degrades the longer I write.\n\nAfter about 230 strips, I realized that I had resorted to using my university-note-taking scribbling. Which I can read (usually) but I'm pretty sure no one else can. So, I'm looking at these strips and I can see what was going to happen when I finally got around to the drawing.\n\nI am going to pick a paper slip and the name/email address was going to look like this:\n\n[ ~w~~~%~~~r ]\n\nSo ambiguous that everyone is going to have the itching suspicion that they may have won, no matter what I tell them it says.\n\nSo I started over, typing this time (which, as we have all probably figured out by now, I am only marginally better at). This of course means I could have used the Random.org number generator, but by this point I was feeling really stubborn. I was bent on having my drawing and I finished it.\n\nSo I gathered up all the strips into a bowl... I fluffed, I shook and I mixed. Then I dug my hand deep into the bowl and grabbed one.\n\nJackie!\n\nCongratulations on the $150 gift certificate. I'll email you today to double check the address then I'll send you all the details you need to start shopping for that new dutch oven.\n\nTo everyone else, the nice folks who take the time to read my blog. Thank you. I know we all have busy lives and that each of you pop by and take the time to read, comment and occasionally point out my typos is appreciated. Thank you to CSN too, for letting me give away your money.\n\nI enjoy doing these giveaways and I'll do my best to arrange one that is accessible to all of my readers in the future.\n\nTuesday, June 22, 2010\n\nI'm officially closing the giveaway. I won't be able to accept any comments posted after 11am PST today. Barring any disasters--like my daughter getting into the slips and eating them--I'll post the winner of the drawing tomorrow. I had planned on doing it today, but I am still filling out these little pieces of paper.\n\n(Yes, Random.org would be simpler but with all the double and triple entries and the spread sheet I would have to create to list everyone, this feels easier and I can photograph a real drawing. Whereas a shot of me hitting the Random button feels kind of... hollow. Right?. Besides, my two year old has this instinctive pesky-toddler desire to come over and repeatedly palm slap my laptop's keyboard whenever I am working on important documents.)\n\nAlso, I apologize for not getting my usual Monday post up. Father's Day had me a bit busy this weekend and I ended up cooking for Monday's post on Monday (never a good blogger move). I ended up waiting for a batch of Pomegranate ice cream to firm up so I could scoop and photograph it. However, by the time I expected it to be ready, much of my light had faded so I decided to put off the shoot until today.\n\nOf course, being my normal scatter brained self, I often return containers of ice cream into the refrigerator rather than freezer.\n\nWhich is where I found it this morning. The refrigerator.\n\nYea, this batch of ice cream isn't looking so firm.\n\nSo, I'm going to make the ice cream again today, as it was absolutely delicious and blog worthy. Though, I may make a few adjustments since I have the opportunity to toy with it again.\n\nFor the pie contest folks. I still have 2/3 pies to test and taste. I'll try to whip out another one today. Hopefully I can squeeze it in between the paper slips, the ice cream, and the dentist... which is where I am heading off to now.\n\nFriday, June 18, 2010\n\nThis month is a particularly good roundup. I had a ton of submissions, representing science themes from a wide variety of disciplines. Also a wide variety of baked goods. I have cookies, cakes, and even the first science themed cake pop!\n\nSo our first post comes from Jackie of Food-ology. You may remember her from last months pie contest, she submitted the yummy savory pie (er pudding!).\n\n\"To explain the photos... I was in a Cancer Biology program so I've got a mouse cake with a (cupcake) tumor. (Yes, that's a real syringe. But it's OK- there was no needle- and it was sterile!)\"\n\n\"I also have two cakes I made for two graduate students' qualifying exams: a cake with the life cycle of dictyostelium, since he was the first person in our lab to work on dicty, and a cake depicting the other student's thesis project on cell-cell adhesion.\"\n\nCindy submitted our first batch of science themed cake pops! So happy to see the cake pop take a nerdy turn.\n\n\"I love to make cake pops; so for the final exam in Organic II class, I made these methane pops for my student (thankfully they understood the molecule!)\"\n\nJennifer, a Chicago biology teacher sent in her gel electrophoresis cookies!\n\nPenny sent in these sweet Emoticon cookies. I wish I had a chance to see the whole tray. Funny that only sad or rather nonplussed emotes are left uneaten. No one wants a sad cookie?\n\n\"Saw these emoticon cookies at the Literature.Culture.Media Research Slam at UC-Santa Barbara yesterday. I didn't catch the whole tray, only what was left toward the end of our session. Apparently the presenter (Zach Horton, a student at UCSB) brought a wide array of emoticon cookies.\"\n\nEmily, who also submitted a pie to last months contest (the chocolate cream pie several of you are very fond of) also sent me some mice cookies with her pie submission.\n\n\"I attached some lab rat cookies I made a few months ago - thanks for this idea! I loved it and my friend (who indeed works in a lab with rats) appreciated the cookie gesture.\"\n\nCatherine, a PhD student and a baker, sent me some fantastic cakes!\n\nI study neurotransmission in C elegans, so I made this C elegans cake with GFP labeled nervous system for my lab picnic:\n\nI've also had the opportunity to bake a couple of cakes for my friends' thesis defenses. My friend and lab mate Andy is in the neuroscience department:\n\nMy friend Stacey just defended her PhD in biomedical engineering. She makes nanoparticles that can be used in vaccines - she fills the nanoparticles with antigens and decorates the outsides with Toll-like receptor ligands. That way the immune system will easily recognize the nanoparticles and make antibodies against the antigens inside! Awesome!\n\nI made a vanilla funfetti cake (baked in a bowl) and decorated the outside with colored chocolate squiggles (ligands).\n\nJulie, Helie, and Melody sent me all these cookies. They went on a science cookie baking spree to give away to their teachers.\n\nMy favorite have to be the calculus cookies.\n\nMath: Here we did e, phi, an matrix (which at first glance appears to be the identity matrix), and a graphical representation of a Riemann Sum.\n\nChemistry: The ideal gas law, complete with the value of R for (L*atm)/(mol * K) and an atom. Our Chemistry teacher also happens to be a music teacher, so we included the music notes.\n\nCalculus: (top to bottom) The integration rule for 1/x dx, the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and the Mean Value Theorem\n\nBiology: Our Biology teacher loves to emphasize the role of form and function in biology, so we, of course, had to include that on a cookie. The yellow/white is our attempt at a petri dish with some bacteria. The last one is a karyotype (male).\n\nAnimal Cell: This is our greatest success yet--the cookie _is_ actually the size of that paper plate. We have the nucleus, surrounded by the blue endoplasmic reticulum. There are also yellow mitochondria, the green/blue Golgi body, and light blue free ribosomes! The green/pink blob is our representation of phagocytosis.\n\n\"There comes a time in life when it seems like almost everyone you know is having babies. At first, it kind of floors you every time you hear the news, and you struggle to come up with a gift commensurate to the occasion. In years past, I crafted ornate homemade cards, cooked obscene amounts of food, and stitched patchwork quilts and a stuffed pink satin armadillo. But as more and more friends began to have babies, I realized that keeping up with that sort of gifting protocol could quickly become a second job. I started turning to the gift registry, pairing a cotton onesie with a heartfelt card and calling it a day. For the most part, this seems appropriate. But every now and then, I hear about the pregnancy of a friend who is so dear that the registry just doesn't cut it. I start looking around for a more personal way to share the love. And recently, I hit upon these baby shower cookies.\"That's when sperm cookies are called for. Oh yes, that's right. Try to eat those in front of others with a straight face.\"\n\nYes that is a sperm cookie. Try to eat that around others and maintain a straight face.I'm a sucker for anthropology cookies so I was pretty happy to see this set from Lauren, a lecturer and research assocaite at UC Santa Cruz, in my mail box. Homid fossil cookies!\n\n\"I am a biological anthropologist who wishes she were a baker. I dabble in cakes and cookies, the occasional pie, but certainly nothing as lovely or fancy as those items that you spotlight on your website. Nevertheless, the nerd in me just couldn't help not trying out some science themed cookies of my own. So I enlisted the help of a like-minded (i.e. nerdy baker) archaeology grad student in my department and we spent the day attempting to make some contributions for the science cookie #5 round-up.\n\nI must confess that we found the royal icing to be a bit of a royal pain. We couldn't really figure out the stiffness so we either made too stiff or too runny for the job required. Hopefully next time that will go smoother. We also had an issue with our icing dyes. I purchased some gel colors from Sur la Table thinking that they must be superior to the old liquid drops from Safeway because, well, they cost more. And were at Sur La Table. But the dye gets all over your hands when you open it, and then all over everything else, and took a lot of washing (and lemons and vinegar to remove). Do share your secret for how you color your icing and if it is these gel colors, how do you open them and add color without looking like you have been tie dyed? Rubber gloves, perhaps?\n\n(I just unscrew the tops and use a clean toothpick to move a drop of gel from the bottle to the icing. I learned quickly that squeeze bottles are unpredictable and gel color is dangerous. )\n\n\"These photos represent homologous chromosomes that have just crossed over during Meiosis 1.\"\n\n\"I have attached some photos of our first attempt. The first photo is a profile of the cranium of the newly described Australopithecus sediba (which I actually think is much more Homo-like, but that doesn't alter the cookie. But since you are a biological anthropologist, I thought some context may be important).\"\n\n(I may need to get out my calipers to double check this cookie... just kidding)\n\n\"Then there's a Darwin fish...\"\n\n\"...and a skeleton representation of a javelina\"\n\n\"And the last picture is where my cookie partner Cristie got really nerdy. She is a zooarchaeologist who specializes in fish bones. So there's a bony fish. And an otolith, which I learned is a bony sensory organ in a fish's inner ear that helps with balance. I'm sure that is the first otolith cookie to have been emailed in, right?\"\n\nYup! That is most certainly my first otolith cookie. Great set!Ruth sent me some really realistic mice cookies. I need to ask her how she gave the mice such a realistic furry texture.\n\n\"There are lots of really fat ob/ob mice, who have a genetic mutation thatmeans they can't produce leptin, so they never feel full and they neverstop eating .\"\n\nThere are also the blue mice (I think maybe they're actually rats, I'm notsure), who've been given the food colourant FD&C blue No. 1, which hashelped them recover faster after a spinal injury, also with a picture ofthe mice from the proper research.(http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/07/bluerats/)\n\n\"On Tuesday, JG’s AP computer science class took their exam, and it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to make for them. The test is on Java, technically, but I don’t know enough about it to make a witty joke, and I sure as heck did not want to write out lines of code. So, I opted to go basic and made ones and zeros, hoping they would get the joke.\n\nOne problem: I aimed to make 3 dozen cookies and ended up with over 50, and there was no way I could outline and flood that many cookies after work in time for the next school day. Instead, I decided to experiment by covering them with sparkly sanding sugar.\"\n\nRebecca sent me these beautiful science themed cookies for her son's 2nd birthday\n\n\"... I found myself quite taken by the design of the Ishihara color blindness tests I remember doing as a kid (I was particularly inspired by #12, found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_color_test. I was thinking of doing the invitations with this design, but MY GOD, all those dots.\"\n\n\"So, I thought, let's do cookies and EAT THEM instead.\"\n\n\"I freehanded all the 2s, then did the dots around them in the contrasting color. Used your instructions and everything. My first time with this method of frosting cookies. Learned a lot.

{"text": "A Sweetwater shop near Florida International University offers Indian students a taste of home.\nWhen Anjan Sampath arrived in the United States from India to study telecommunications at Florida International University, he faced a culture shock — especially when it came to food.\nLuckily for him, he later got an e-mail from friends alerting Sampath that an Indian store had just opened in nearby Sweetwater.\nFour years later, Spice N Curry at 123 SW 107th Ave. remains the hang-out spot for Sampath and his Indian friends for traditional foods and spices from his native country. It has serves as a prime venue for vegans and vegetarians looking to stock up on staples such as beans and rice.\nLocated next to the well-known Nicaraguan restaurant Los Ranchos, Spice N Curry opened in 2007. Owner Abhijeet Jay Mazumdar is originally from Bombay — now known as Mumbai.\nThe people have shown me love here,” said Mazumdar, 33, who used to live in Sweetwater and now lives in Miami Beach with his wife and their 8-year-old daughter.\nMazumdar arrived in the United States in 2001 and earned a masters degree in finance from The University of Florida. Once he graduated, he worked for the Target corporation and a real estate company, but he was laid off due to the recession.\n“I always wanted to do something from a business standpoint,” he said.\nWhen the store opened, it was about 900 square feet. Mazumdar said the store was so popular he had no choice but to expand. This year, he doubled the size of the shop. The store is actually located where Los Ranchos once had a dining area.\nIn Sweetwater, it is common to hear the languages of Spanish and English but inside Spice n Curry most customers communicate speaking India’s language, Hindi.\n“Language happens to be a barrier, but humans find away to communicate,” said Mazumdar.\nFIU alumnus Atul Pazare stopped by on a recent Saturday to indulge on a samosa, a traditional, triangular shaped pastry from India which could include potatoes, onions, peas or ground beef and flavored with coriander. He studied at the university’s engineering center, which is with walking distance. The school’s computer and engineering programs attract a fair number for foreign students from India and Asia.\nHe is employed by a construction company, but swings by the shop for a samosa after work almost every day.\nFIU students and customers can find almost everything from India including more than 50 types of spices, teas, and even beer like Taj Mahal. A crowd favorite in India, Frooti, a mango juice, is also sold along with different flavors of an Indian ice cream called Kulfi. Most of the products are imported from India, while some of the goods are from local suppliers. Vegetables like bottle gourds are also sold, as well butter made from buffalo milk.\nFor college students, Spice N Curry has a wide variety of frozen Indian vegetables stored in refrigerators for purchase. Non-meat eaters have a long list of choices including vegetables not typically found in regular supermarkets like brinjal, an eggplant.\nYet, the store serves to more than just Indian customers.\nNina Madriz, who was born in Nicaragua and lives nearby, came to purchase a special chili powder part of a recipe for a shrimp dish.\n“You can’t find this anywhere,” she said.\nThe ambience inside the store is quite unique compared to its surrounding restaurants. A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the iconic political leader of India during the Indian independence movement, hangs on the wall. Kurtas, traditional loose-fitting shirts for men and women in a variety of bright colors like orange and turquoise .\nThere is also a small cafeteria where Mazumdar serves tea and cooks several traditional dishes like curry chicken and lentil soup.\nHe said it is the spot for students on a budget.\nMazumdar – who travels to India to visit family every few years – said although he has the only Indian shop in predominately Hispanic Sweetwater, it’s nonetheless a good fit.\n“The beauty of this is that you meet a lot of people,” he said.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 886, "token_count_with_eod": 887, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Most concerningly, 65 per cent of male respondents claimed that campaigns like #MeToo, Time’s Up and the Women’s March had no impact on them at all.\nAmongst female students, however, the research revealed a very different stance, with 68 per cent of female respondents feeling more hopeful thanks to high profile campaigns. In addition, almost half of female respondents said they felt more informed on feminist issues (49 per cent), and would be more comfortable calling out gender inequality in the future (49 per cent).\nThe research also revealed that global activism had not just changed young women’s attitudes to gender inequality. One in five female respondents (20 per cent) had been inspired to take action following high profile campaigns by donating to a charity or attending an event. Amongst women who had experienced sexist behaviour in the past, 65 per cent of them said they would be more likely to take action thanks to these campaigns.\nHannah Morrish, Student Choice and Higher Education Lead at The Student Room said: “We’ve seen lots of conversations on the site with students sharing their opinions on these campaigns, and gender inequality in general. It’s encouraging to see from this research that the prominence of these campaigns is having an impact on young women’s attitudes towards gender equality, and is inspiring them to take action.\n“However, the fact that young men have such a negative perception of feminism is concerning. It’s clear that there is still work that needs to be done to ensure young men are engaged with this issue, and feel part of the conversation.\"\nStudents Top Ten Feminist Icons in 2018", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "SA donors give more to universities - 05 July 2019 - Cape Argus (AM Edition)\nSOUTH African trusts, foundations, corporations and individuals are donating more to local universities but the vast majority of funding is still being channelled to so called tra ditional higher education institutions. According to the latest 2018 Annual Survey of Philanthropy in Higher Education Aspihe , conducted under the auspices of Inyathelo, the South African Institute for Advancement, revealed that philanthropists gave over R1.7 billion to 11 local universities in 2017.\nHowever, Sean Jones of EduActive Solutions, said distribution was skewed as 96% of funding went to traditional, research intensive universities and only 4% to historically disadvantaged universities. On his research, Jones said the 11 universities in the survey received a collective total of R1.71bn in philan thropic income in 2017, R978 million higher than recorded for the 10 universities taking part in the first survey in 2013.\nHe said median annual philan thropic income was R108m in 2017, which was significantly higher than the median of R23m in 2013. \"The proportion of income from South Afri can sources was 72%, which is 35% higher than in 2013. International donors contributed 28% of philan thropic income but comprised only 10% of donors.\" Jones said the largest proportion of philanthropic funding came from trusts and foundations, which con tributed 42%. \"This decreased from 61% in 2013, indicating a declining dependence on trusts and foundations. This was matched by increased levels of giving by the private sector and individuals. \"Private sector entities contrib uted 25% of philanthropic income in 2017, compared with 14% in 2013, while individual donors' contributions increased from 4% in 2013 to 20% in 2017. \"The number of donations also increased dramatically over the five years, from 5 659 in 2013 to 28 668 in 2017. The number of donations between R1 million and R4 9 million more than doubled and those exceed ing R5 million more than tripled,\" Jones said. Executive director of Inyathelo, Nazeema Mohamed said it was worth mentioning the rise in local philan thropic support, particularly through the #FeesMustFall crisis. Of South Africa's 26 universities, the 11 that participated in the fifth round of the survey were the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, UCT, Durban University of Technol ogy, University of the Free State, Uni versity of Johannesburg, University of KwaZulu Natal, University of Pretoria, University of Stellenbosch, Tshwane University of Technology, UWC and University of the Witwatersrand. Inyathelo has worked with the Kresge Foundation for over a decade to help build advancement capacity in selected universities.\nBill Moses, the Kresge Education Programme's managing director, said when they started their work in 2006, \"few South African universities of any type were raising private funds\". Moses said the report suggested that giving has changed dramatically over the succeeding dozen years. \"Private philanthropy can never replace government and tuition sup port, but it can help support univer sity excellence and reduce pressure on annual fee increases. \"The challenge facing South Afri can universities is to reach and engage more donors and to help more histor ically disadvantaged universities build their own advancement operations,\" Moses said.\nSubscribe to receive our monthly newsletter / receive alerts about our latest events", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 811, "token_count_with_eod": 812, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}
{"text": "Longtime AUC supporter and chairman of Amoun Holdings for Financial Investments, Dr. Sarwat Bassily passed away, leaving AUCians reflecting on his numerous contributions and visible dedication to the University.\nAs a generous contributor to many aspects of AUC, Dr. Bassily famously named the University’s auditorium on the New Cairo campus, Bassily Auditorium, which is the University's main auditorium able to accommodate more than 1,000 people and is used for major AUC events such as commencement. It has hosted international conferences, symposia, meetings, seminars, concerts, presentations and performances.\nIn 2003, Dr. Bassily donated a significant amount to support the establishment of the Egyptian Chair in Coptic Heritage -- the only such program in Egypt. The Egyptian Chair in Coptic Heritage is an endowed professorship at AUC that supports teaching and research in the field of Coptic studies, providing AUC students with the unique opportunity to gain insight into Coptic culture and history from a number of distinguished scholars, as well as a rare opportunity to study the linguistics, theology and history of Coptic culture and its role in modern society. Few universities in the world offer similar programs, and AUC's program is accessible to Egyptians and foreigners alike. This fund also helps provide support for the University’s library holdings and fund research projects.\nA graduate of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Cairo University, Dr. Bassily spent his career as a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. He first established his own pharmacy in Aswan in the 1960s before moving on to found several companies, including Advanced Biochemical Industries and Amoun Pharmaceutical Industries Company, both later acquired by GlaxoWellcome. From there, in 1998, he established Amoun Pharmaceuticals, which was later sold in 2006 to a consortium of U.S. and international private equity investors, including Citigroup Venture Capital International, Capital International Private Equity Fund IV and Concord International Investments, for a reported $487 million. As chairman of Amoun Holdings for Financial Investments, wholly owned by the Bassily family, Dr. Bassily managed a group of companies dealing in household appliances, tourism, construction materials, vehicle and car industry and spare parts, and other fields.\nIn addition to developing his own companies, Dr. Bassily was a former member of the Shura Council; former member of the Federation of Egyptian Industries; founder of CTV, a Coptic Orthodox TV station; and undersecretary of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 528, "token_count_with_eod": 529, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "“We Are Only 10% Human” was the title of a previous post introducing our microflora. That may sound like an outrageous claim, but in all seriousness, microbial cells in the body outnumber human cells by 10 to one and account for 99.9% of our unique genes. An article published recently in the New York Times entitled, “We Are Our Bacteria” discusses how the human microbiome is losing its diversity, much like other ecosystems across the globe. Dr. Martin J. Blaser, a specialist in infectious diseases at the New York University School of Medicine and the director of the Human Microbiome Program has studied the role of bacteria in disease for over 30 years. Dr. Blaser suggests a link between the declining variety within the microbiome and our increased susceptibility to serious chronic conditions such as allergies, celiac disease, and Type 1 diabetes. What could be the culprit? Antibiotics. Read more here about the article.\nThe epidemic of absence describes the lack of microflora populations in our human ecosystem. This absence from antibiotic use leaves us vulnerable to a host of opportunistic parasites, which no longer have a mutualistic relationship with the host. This intriguing TED talk by Ed Yong tells us of many examples where parasites drive the behaviors of animals. As data emerges on microflora and human behavior(1), we are left wondering just how our inner life of our human ecosystem, consisting of microbes to larger organisms, defines us, including our behavior. As another New York Times article discusses, the microbes may be looking out for themselves and in order to survive, drive certain behaviors and cravings of the host to ensure its needs are met. Dr. Katie Reid mentions in her TEDx talk the strong craving for free glutamates in foods support the survival of some organisms that then become pathogenic. These cravings are undoubtedly driven by the very organisms that need the chemical to survive and outcompete other organisms.\nThe concept that our inner world of organisms drives our actions brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “What’s bugging you?” .\nGenna Brown, a college summer intern, contributed to this post.\n(1) Cryan, J.

{"text": "A poll commissioned by the Telegram suggests the issue could benefit Gov. Paul LePage.\nThe more Mainers become familiar with the bear-baiting referendum question, the more they oppose a proposed ban on the practice.\nQuestion 1 on the November ballot asks voters if they want to ban the use of bait, dogs or traps in bear hunting. According to a Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, 53 percent of Mainers oppose the ban and 41 percent support it. Six percent of voters are undecided on the issue, which has drawn significant spending by interest groups and may also be a sleeper issue in the Maine governor’s race.\nThe poll of 441 likely voters has a 4.4 percent margin of error.\nWhen the newspaper asked the same question in its June poll, 48 percent of voters supported the ban, 44 percent were against it and 8 percent were undecided. The June poll also asked how familiar voters were with the issue. Thirty percent said they knew nothing about the referendum, and another 30 percent said they knew a little.\nThe new poll found that Mainers are becoming more familiar with the issue. Thirty-seven percent said they know a great deal about it and 29 percent said they know a fair amount. The number of voters who said they know nothing about the issue dropped to 8 percent, while those who know a little decreased to 25 percent.\nAccording to an analysis of the results, voters who know a great deal about the referendum continue to oppose a ban by a wide margin (65 percent to 31 percent) and those who have heard a fair amount oppose it by a smaller margin (53 percent to 39 percent).\nDemocrats slightly support the ban, 49 percent to 43 percent, while independents oppose it, 56 percent to 40 percent. Republicans oppose it 67 percent to 28 percent.\nAndrew Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center, said the question could affect the gubernatorial race. The referendum has not been an issue in the race for governor, although all three candidates oppose the bear-baiting ban, a position backed by the group Save Maine’s Bear Hunt. The LePage administration has been a vocal opponent, more so than his two challengers.\nSmith said it could remain in the background of the race but still affect the outcome: Republican Gov. Paul LePage could benefit from the issue without using it in his campaign, while Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud and independent Eliot Cutler may have to tread lightly.\nSmith said it might be unwise for Michaud to vocally oppose the bear-baiting ban.\nThere is some evidence that voters who wouldn’t normally vote in the midterm election are motivated by the referendum.\nRachel Leichliter, 30, of Connor Township said she’s largely undecided in the governor’s race but leaning toward LePage because of the referendum. Her husband, a licensed Maine Guide, opposes the bear-baiting ban.

{"text": "I am fortunate enough to be an avid Hulu Plus subscriber. This means special previews of shows that haven’t aired yet. One such show is Awake, the much-anticipated Jason Isaacs drama premiering on NBC on March 1st. I had the opportunity to sit down and watch Awake and I must say that I am thoroughly intrigued.\nThe series is difficult to explain, but I will give it a go. Awake begins with a car accident in which Michael (Jason Issacs), Hannah (Laura Allen) and Rex Britten (Dylan Minnette) are involved in. We see the car crashing down, but are given no cause of the accident. Fast forward to a funeral, where Michael, father and husband is attending a funeral. Beside him, his wife. His son has apparently died.\nExcept that when Michael goes to sleep that night, he wakes up the next morning to an altogether different reality. In this world, his son is the one who survived the accident and not his wife. And so Michael’s nights and mornings continue on.\nThe beauty of this show is that like Life On Mars, you have no idea if Michael is asleep or dreaming in either scenario. Michael has easily accepted that this is the only way he can have both his wife and his son and wears colored rubber bands on his wrist to keep the two realities separate in his own mind.\nThere’s just one problem, as there always is with alternate universes: details from one universe bleed into the other. Michael is a detective and details from his case in one reality bleed into the next, helping him to solve both. So on top of what may be an alternate universe plotline, there’s also a procedural cop show with an extremely unique twist.\nSee? I told you it was hard to explain. But alternate timelines usually are. Of course, we don’t know that these are alternate universes. Michael could be, in fact, dreaming one of them up.\nIf the pilot episode is any indication, this show is going to get a lot more confusing for Michael, as well as for us, the viewers. But I’m okay with that. In fact, I love a show that’s complicated and hard to explain. This is intelligent storytelling at its best.\nObviously, Jason Isaacs is brilliant and compelling to watch as Michael, a man who refuses to give up one reality for another and chooses to live in both. I am also especially happy to see Wilmer Valdarama back on t.v., as a police officer who is Michael’s partner in one of the realities.\nI’m calling this one a must-see. It’s wonderfully dramatic and yet bizarre enough that most sci-fi genre fans, I believe, are going to love it. I definitely can see endless possibilities with such a convoluted storyline. What if this is science fiction and Michael can figure out a way to bring the two universes together? Will it cause problems, maybe something similar to what we’re seeing in Fringe? Or are his dreams in fact a part of reality? There’s so much the writers can do with this, it will be easy to sustain the concept as a series.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 645, "token_count_with_eod": 646, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "Ted Cruz uses machine gun to cook bacon, become president - Combat!\n:01-:12: Ted Cruz explains that people do things differently in Texas. For example, they make breakfast by wrapping food around the barrel of a gun. They open a carton of milk by shooting a hole in the top. They sow the fields by shooting them with guns and dropping seeds into the holes. They stick their contact lenses to the ends of guns and gently press them against their eyes. They read by pointing a gun at the TV. Fortunately, no one in Texas has ever conducted a bris.\n:13-:16: Cruz buys bacon. He already has a machine gun.\n:14-:20: The image of Cruz wrapping bacon around the barrel of a gun briefly makes the music sound pornographic.\n:33-:43: Cruz shoots a gun. Presumably he is just drilling hell out of his human-silhouette target, but we don’t get to see it afterward, because that’s not the point. Remember, guns don’t kill people. Guns cook bacon.\n:50-Fin: Cruz eats bacon with a fork and makes the sound humans call laughter.\nIt’s a little soon to tell, but I’m going to say it goes Lincoln’s second inaugural, this video, FDR’s “fear itself” speech. It’s got everything today’s voters love: bacon, guns, and the presumption that they are stupid. “Making Machine-Gun Bacon”1 is a production of Independent Journal Review, a website that bills itself as “a news, politics & culture forum for everyday Americans who need to know what is fun and important now.” What is fun or important? I don’t know. I am ready to vote for Ted Cruz.\nThe independent journalists at IJ Review also produced “How To Destroy Your Cell Phone With Lindsay Graham,” a video that does not, I report with mixed emotions, depict a giant smashing his phone over and over with the lifeless body of Lindsay Graham. That video, which increasingly looks like the major event of Graham’s campaign, was a response to Donald Trump publicly revealing the senator’s phone number. IJ Review appears to occupy a niche, and that niche is responses to Trump’s bad behavior that are just as undignified but not as effective.\nIn the unlikely event that Cruz becomes president, European late-night television is going to show that bacon video again and again. Any other year, it would instantly make him the most risible candidate in the field. It does not suggest that Cruz is an idiot who loves guns, exactly, but it strongly implies that the people who might vote for him are.\nUnlike Trump’s un-presidential remarks, however, it does not deliver a frisson of transgression. Bacon and, weirdly, assault weapons are two very safe things for Cruz to be audacious with. Cooking bacon by shooting a gun may express his conservative bona fides, but it does not meet the Trump test of watching a candidate for president do the things we wish we could, e.g. slander Mexicans.\nThe crowded field of increasingly desperate Republican candidates have seen exactly one strategy work in the last six weeks, and that strategy is acting crazy. Granted, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker are holding steady in second and third place, and they haven’t done anything crazy at all. But they are playing a longer game than Cruz or Graham, whose best hopes for the 2016 campaign do not realistically extend into 2016. The single-digit candidates need to impress voters and Fox News programming executives this fall, and that apparently means demanding attention with crazy behavior.\nThe problem with this video and Graham’s cell phone snuff film is that they show how a sane person acts crazy—whimsically, perhaps even humorously, but not with that sublimated, ineffable logic that makes Trump fascinating. I don’t think Cruz has ever cooked bacon with a machine gun before, whereas if I saw Trump shoot the top off a beer at one of his golf courses, I might believe he did it every weekend.\nTrump has seized on the one quality that separates him from the other 15 GOP candidates—the fact that he has incredibly poor judgment and no political experience—and leveraged it. Weirdly, Cruz and Graham have opted to engage him on that field. It’s like a shark heaved itself onto the beach to bite their ankles, so they tackled it back into the ocean. Now the frenzy begins.\nSo much hilariousness in one post!\nFor $100, I will rewrite that title to express the same idea in 33% fewer words.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 959, "token_count_with_eod": 960, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

Not so much.\nIn 'Of Mice and Men', when George is forced to shoot Lennie out of love, unwilling to make the same mistake Candy did letting someone else kill his dog, there is an outcry of emotion in the class - often tears, even wailing - that makes me feel so privileged to do what I do.\nAnd when we read 'To Kill a Mockingbird', and the students see the depth of Atticus's wisdom in teaching Scout compassion and empathy, and Scout turns to her father and says, \"Mr. Tate was right.

{"text": "Finally, a quick word about applying Philosophy skills to myself and my own career. Not easy, but genuinely useful. I mentioned in my previous post the importance of being comfortable with ambiguity and sometimes my career direction has felt incredibly ambiguous. I’ve barely known what I wanted to do on occasions, let alone how I wanted to do it and eventually I reached a point where I decided to critically think through my motivations, ambitions and objectives and critically evaluate the merits of a range of options available to me.\nThis wasn’t easy – I wasn’t a natural career planner. However, when it came to changing jobs from working for a bank (Barclays) to working with banks (Management Consultant with EY), I realised that the only way I would be able to make the decision was if I critically evaluated the options and came to a logical conclusion about what was the right thing to do.\nThis was a long process – it took me over 6 months to decide to change jobs, but eventually I figured it out.\nWhy am I mentioning this? Having gone through this process once, it became much easier to do it again and the next time I took a career decision it took 2 months, rather than more than 6. Then on the most recent occasion it took only a matter of weeks for me to go through the same process. I still don’t find the process easy and I get help from certain people in my network who are key parts of my critical thinking process whom I rely on to help me think through questions and problems.\nI also strongly encourage you to begin this process as early as possible in your career, particular if you find it as difficult as I do. As your career and life progresses, the decisions themselves become more complex – not just because your jobs get harder, but because your life develops and layers of complexity come in. For instance, in 2006 when I graduated I was a single guy with little or no personal or professional obligations. Now, 10 years on, my career decisions have to factor in my partner, her work locations, our living choices, the wider economic environment, the team in which I work as well as my own views. It really is a good thing that I am becoming better at applying critical thinking to my career as if I was still working the way I did 8 or 10 years ago I reckon it would take me years to instigate and manage career changes.\nBusiness, life and careers are complex things. Sometimes you feel like you’ve got the wind in your sails and everything is great, other times it feels like you’re Sisyphus, pushing the rock up the hill, only for it to keep rolling down again. A big part of my personal and professional development has been getting comfortable with and navigating through the rough and the smooth. I do this is by applying the skills I learned in Philosophy, in particular, critical thinking – a vital tool for me that I can rely on for the big and small decisions that I have to make.\nThis entry was posted in Career planning, Philosophy and tagged Philosophy, philosophy and career, Philosophy skills.

CSTShareTweetShareShareBears sign Jordan Williams-Lambert to a reserve/future contractDerick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsYesterday the Chicago Bears announced that they were signing wide receiver Jordan Williams-Lambert to a reserve/futures contract. Williams-Lambert (6’3”, 228) was most recently with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League where he racked up 62 receptions, 764 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 2018 season while being named the West Division’s top rookie. He played his college football for the Ball State Cardinals where he compiled 200 catches for 2723 yards, and 23 TDs from 2013 to 2015. Those stats respectively rank 5th, 5th, and 4th all time in Cardinals’ history. At his 2015 pro day he ran a 4.64 forty, with a vertical jump of just over 33 inches, and 21 reps of 225 pounds on the bench. He was originally an undrafted free agent of the New Orleans Saints and he spent his entire rookie season on their practice squad. He was waived/injured by the Saints before the 2017 season started, but he filmed this video in November of that year to show he was healthy. In 2018 he played 17 games for the Roughriders and was tenth in the league with those 62 catches. He’s a big-bodied hands-catcher that may be ready for his second chance in the NFL. He are some of his highlights from the CFL. Williams-Lambert is the thirteenth player the Bears have added on reserve/future contracts. Here’s the full list.

{"text": "The Volkswagen Beetles is the new trend for Ethiopian. Although the production of this car came to an end since 2003, the car remains the must-have vintage car but appears to be hard to maintain.\nThe German car was born in the 1930's during the World War II. Its success is almost immediate with more than 10 millions of them sold all over the world in the 1960's. The car is even named as the Love Bug after the famous Disney movie and is presented as the unmissable family car.\nAfter more than 70 years of production, the famous German brand Volkswagen put it to an end in 2003. However, the popularity of the Love Bug has not come to an end yet. Indeed, the car is still very famous in Ethiopia and even sought after by a part of the population.\nIt is really nice to see these cute cars still in circulation in the streets of Addis Abbaba but it can be a real nightmare for the owner when it comes to maintaining their beloved car. As the production was ended more than 14 years ago it became really complicated to find car parts suitable for the Volkswagen Beetles. Not only new parts are difficult to be found but they are also really expensive and not everybody can afford these repairs.\nUsually, when one Volkswagen Beetles is in a really poor shape and too far broken to be fixed, the mechanics will cannibalise it in order to use all the remaining working parts to repair the other cars. A system that is not feasible on the long-term.\nWhen interrogating the Volkswagen Beetles' owners about their faitfulness to the famous model they usually explain that the Volkswagen Beetles is a servant car that will never let you down and take you anywhere you want to go.\nThe car also adapts to your envy as it really easy to paint them the way you like. When you have the right parts it is also pretty easy to fix them which makes the Volkswagen Beetle a reliable car.\nOverall, the Volkswagen Beetles is an easy-to-drive car which remains the only affordable car for most of the poorest part of the Ethiopian population.\nFor some of the owners it is a trend but most of them are part of a strong fan base that works on nostalgia. Let's hope that this amazing and colourful trend will remain in the Ethiopian streets for a long time yet.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 493, "token_count_with_eod": 494, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Chronic Sleep issues are the underlying cause of many stress induced conditions, including fibromyalgia. Read the articles below to understand more about the importance of sleep. If you have chronic sleep issues consider coming in for help in returning to deep restorative sleep.\nSleep showers away cellular grime that builds up while the brain is awake — just the sort of process that could have made sleep a biological imperative, scientists reported in October (SN: 11/16/13, p. 7).\nPeople have long puzzled over the evolutionary pressures that led animals to need sleep even though it leaves them vulnerable to predators and other dangers. Rinsing off the brain and disposing of waste proteins and other gunk might help explain why sleep evolved.\nMany other things that sleep does, such as strengthening memories, are important. But they are probably bonuses to the real reason that slumber is necessary, says Suzana Herculano-Houzel of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.\nResearchers led by Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York stumbled upon sleep’s cleansing function while studying how the brain disposes of waste products.\nThe brain pushes fluid in between its cells to flush out buildup products, such as protein pieces that form plaques in people with Alzheimer’s disease, the team had found. After training mice to sit quietly on a microscope stage, the researchers could measure the fluid flow while the rodents were awake and asleep. Space between cells increased by at least 60 percent when the animals fell asleep, allowing cerebrospinal fluid to gush in and hose away buildup. When the animals woke up, some brain cells — probably ones called astrocytes — swelled up, narrowing the crevices separating the cells.\nWith the drainage system clogged, waste from hardworking nerve cells begins to pile up. Sleep deprivation or damage to the irrigation system may make it impossible for sleep to fully wash away the by-products, eventually contributing to neurodegenerative dis-orders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, the researchers speculate.\nWhile more research is needed to explore the links between chronic sleep loss and health, it’s safe to say that sleep is too important to shortchange.\nSafety: Sleep debt contributes to a greater tendency to fall asleep during the daytime. These lapses may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.\nMood: Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.\nWhy the Increase in Circadian Disorders?\nThe signals our body clock produces are called circadian rhythms (sir-kadian). Circadian is Latin for ‘about a day,’ and it describes the changing levels of hormones and neurochemicals that control our sleep, activity and mood. When your sleep or mood suffers, you may likely have a circadian rhythm problem. Medical journals report that most mood and sleep disorders have an underlying circadian rhythm disorder.\nBecause of our hectic lifestyles, circadian related disorders are reaching epidemic proportions. For example, the rate of depression and related disorders has doubled over the last 50 years, and sleep disorders have tripled during the same time.\nThis epidemic intensifies in the fall and winter when we lose even more sunlight. The National Institute of Health (NIH) estimates that 6% of Americans suffer from a depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), while another14% have a milder form, called Winter Blues. Almost 18% of Americans suffer from depression and anxiety. In the US, over 65 million people suffer from circadian related disorders.\nTwo decades ago, the National Institute of Health discovered a special type of bright light (about 20 times brighter than indoor light) could safely reset your body clock without harmful side effects. Apollo participated in those early multi-center studies, and since then we’ve discovered that specific bandwidths of light will suppress the withdrawal hormone, melatonin, while other bandwidths produce active hormones such as serotonin.\nOver the past two decades, Apollo has refined this specialized light through dozens of clinical studies, and partnerships with leading research universities and hospitals worldwide. This specialized lighting process is known as BRITEWAVE™ technology.\nBRTIEWAVE uses a specialized type of bright light (specific wavelengths, color and intensity) to safely reset your body clock. Most people respond in jus a few days, and a few minutes a day is all it takes to keep your body clock in check.\nApollo has worked with the NIH in pioneering circadian rhythm (body clock) disorders. Apollo’s BRITEWAVE™ technology is the most effective method for rebalancing and maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm.\nIf you lack energy, feel down, have trouble concentrating or sleeping, chances are you have a circadian rhythm disorder. Since all body clocks are different, the time of day to use the light is very important.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1035, "token_count_with_eod": 1036, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump will come together on February 15th at a Washington meeting that ought to be smooth sailing for both of them. Where there are possible differences, such as on Iran or the settlements, Bibi can stonewall and use the survival of his right wing coalition as a weapon to fend off Presidential pressure. He has become adept at this tactic in the Obama years. So while he holds the President at bey, he can continue to build, and build, and build some more in the settlements.\nBibi, who does not like the nickname, enters the meeting from a position of strength – he has strong Congressional support on most issues, particularly Iran and the Palestinians; and he believes that Trump and his acolytes are sympathetic to the settlements agenda. His coalition is strong so long as he does not yield ground to the Americans. In addition, since Bibi pocketed an annual $3.8 billion in US defense support for ten years under Obama, he does not have to worry about being mugged by the President. By the same token, the Prime Minister will be able to use any public resistance he gets from the President to keep his coalition partners in line at home. He may even welcome a little friction to strengthen his domestic hand.\nIran is a different matter, but the Prime Minister has leverage with the President who has written off the Iranians as terrorists and needs to prove his ability to face down the Iranian threat. The PM and President will be willing partners in vigorously confronting Iranian terror tactics, short of upending the five nation nuclear coalition. But I do not expect this meeting to result in short term disagreements between the two, even on settlements or Iran.\nBibi is adept at turning on his “made in America” charm, American language, and understanding of our people based on his early years in a US high school outside of Philadelphia. He has his problems at home, but then so does Trump. Bibi can be so American in his demeanor that it is very easy to forget that he represents a foreign country. He is skilled at flattery, which he will use to play to Trump’s ego. He has a good sense of humor that he can also deploy as needed. Trump can be played and Bibi is the man who can play him.\nFor his part, the PM is no soft target and can be rigid when it comes to threats to his personal political future, his coalition, or Israel’s security. His perspective during his meetings with me tended to be short-term – he did not appear on the surface to be a strategic thinker. But he is a student of Jewish history, as was his father, thus he is very much aware of the long-term threats to the Jewish people and thus to Israel. He just does not think that the threats outweigh Israel’s power to deflect them right now.\nArguments about Palestinian population growth, for example, and the future of Israel’s Jewish identity or its democracy will fall on deaf ears. Bibi believes Israel is in the driver’s-seat when it comes to the Palestinians and that he can pull the plug in the occupied territories if the Palestinian’s become a serious threat. He is less sure of himself on Iran and so counts on the US to be the big brother. He will play on the President’s and Steve Bannon’s mistrust of Iran and Islam to build his case against the Ayatollah.\nLike Ben Gurion and Sharon before him I found that Bibi’s word was bankable, provided you know precisely what he is promising. Too many US officials and diplomats hear what they want to hear from Bibi, and miss the comma or the period in his sentence that changes the meaning of his promise. He is not as good at dotting “i’s” and crossing “t’s” as Begin was, but Bibi does his homework and will know precisely what has been going on in the White House and the Congress. He will be better informed than his interlocutors, including the President. His intelligence on the Middle East region as it impacts on Israel is better than ours, and his attention to detail makes him a formidable negotiator. He is not afraid of telling the President “No” or of walking out of the room if necessary to make his point and preserve his position. But on this visit he will not need this tactic.\nWhen I was Ambassador to Israel, I liked my sessions with Bibi. He conveyed a sense of inclusion and good humor. Like Trump, Bibi uses the threats to his people as a cudgel to attack his opponents and solidify his support. He also uses indirection, loyal staff, and surrogates to accomplish his goals. No man can survive in the hot house of Israeli politics as long as Bibi has, without extraordinary political talent, a strong personality, and a certain moral flexibility that permits the bobbing and weaving that Israel’s politics demand. Bibi has all of those skills. Trump clearly has some of them.\nBibi has a lot in common with President Trump but has been at it a lot longer. If there is a clash, we will probably not see it. But if President Trump thinks he can bully Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump better be prepared to lose.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 1059, "token_count_with_eod": 1060, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": " Thank You to Director, Joanne Vitale!!!!\nCadette Troop #5203 and Troop #37 from St. Teresa!\nOur Boy & Girl Scouts from St. Teresa are building Emma's Place a Playroom!\nOne of the first things you recognize when you work with grieving children is that there are no “kid-sized” emotions. Any child old enough to love is old enough to grieve. What they lack is the vocabulary to explain what they are feeling in a way adults can understand. Children grieve in a manner and time that is most appropriate for them, and is typically out of sync with where adults are in their grief. Children can grieve intermittently for many years. Depending on their age, children may not manifest grief symptoms until years after a loss. When children’s grief symptoms do occur, many are behavioral. They may become aggressive or withdrawn; overly dependent and clingy; or mischievous and irritable. Grades may plummet or favorite activities may no longer hold their interest. This can happen immediately after or several months or years after a loss. This can be especially prevalent during the holidays when nothing feels right without their loved one and everyone’s emotions are heightened. Children are as worried about you as you are about them. They bear witness to all the intense emotions grief brings to the adults in their lives and do not want to add to the sadness. They might make sure not to talk about the deceased in front of you, and may be the one holding your hand or being strong. This does not mean they are not grieving. Many will cry in private or turn to other means of expression to work through their emotions such as writing, art, or play. These can be wonderful ways to connect with your child and share memories – make an ornament in honor of your loved one; write a holiday card for them or involve the child in creating new traditions that include the memory of their loved one. The most important thing is to keep communication open but this can be more difficult than imagined. As adults we rarely know what to say to other grieving adults, and it is far worse when adults are trying to talk to children. Mostly, children want life to get back to normal and their reactions reflect this desire. Despite their different levels of understanding and unique reactions and coping skills, that children display at different ages, the best way to help a grieving child is to be there, and to know how it feels to lose someone or something you love and to recognize that in them. There is no greater honor than being entrusted with a child’s story, for they do not give it lightly. When you can spare a few extra moments, or stop and answer the myriad of questions, or stand steadfast through the flood of emotions, you provide a voice to a population that we often fail to listen to as closely as we should. For with every little hand held, or tear dried, a difference is made. The smallest gestures mean the world to a grieving child. To be seen and recognized as a mourner is a powerful, life changing event.\n\"Loss makes artists of us all as we weave new patterns in the fabric of our lives.\"", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 642, "token_count_with_eod": 643, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Gov’t prodded on farm-to-market links\n\nA bridge in Mindanao serves as a lifeline for impoverished upland farmers. ADB PHOTO\n\nThe Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the government to fast-track the construction of infrastructure projects and improvements on existing ones as these will allow local farmers to cut logistics and spoilage costs and earn more from their produce.\n\nAt the same time, these projects will allow end-consumers to enjoy the farm goods at reasonable prices, the PCCI said in a statement.\n\nAccording to PCCI, the chambers of commerce in South Luzon, in particular, were seeking “physical connectivity of South Luzon to markets through the privatization, rehabilitation, expansion and modernization of the Philippine Railway System traversing Manila to the Bicol region.”\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nAlso being recommended was the “immediate rehabilitation and expansion of the Naga airport; subsidy for the establishment of inter-island missionary routes, and the completion and activation of several sea passenger and trade routes linking several islands of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan and Batangas, among others.”\n\n“Connector roads are basic to cutting the costs of logistics. The earlier that perishable goods and services from South Luzon are delivered to markets, the lower the costs of spoilage, the lower the borrowing costs, and the earlier the entrepreneurs earn their returns,” PCCI president Miguel B. Varela said.\n\n“Improved transport infrastructures have deep impact on the creation of more jobs, generation of higher incomes in South Luzon and dispersing the benefits of high economic growth to the poor,” he added.\n\nThe South Luzon chambers, according to Varela, were urging the government to immediately start the process for plans that were “already on the shelf.” They acknowledge the fact that it often took a certain period before the government could complete the feasibility and engineering studies and then conduct the bidding and awarding of the projects.\n\nThis particular proposal is part of a package of recommendations by the South Luzon chambers—representing Regions 4A (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon or Calabarzon), 4B (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan or Mimaropa) and Bicol. All these proposals are aimed at increasing investments and incomes in the agricultural sector, supplying more farm goods to consumers and creating jobs.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

{"text": "It is suggested that CBD could be applied as either a supplementary medication or a full alternative to current drugs. Since, besides the description of its “anti-zit” effects, we have furthermore revealed the detailed cellular physiology mechanisms of the individual effects of CBD, our research may foster the development of other new medications which target those receptors which are responsible for the development of the beneficial effects of CBD. Therefore, based on our results, the pharmaceutical anti-acne research activities may be expanded to molecules with novel mechanisms of action. Study results propose the possibility that CBD may be used as a highly efficient and side effect-free anti-acne medication.\nHuman skin, especially on the face, neck, back, and chest is covered in hundreds of thousands of microscopic hair follicles, often called pores. For reasons no one completely understands, these follicles sometimes overproduce cells and become blocked. Sebum (oil) which normally drains to the surface gets trapped and bacteria begins to grow. All acne lesions start out as a microcomedone.\nThere are two main types of acne. Microcomedones can spontaneously become unplugged and heal or they become non-inflamed skin blemishes called comedones–either a whitehead or a blackhead. When the trapped sebum and bacteria stay below the skin surface, a whitehead is formed. Whiteheads may show up as tiny white spots or they may be so small that they are invisible to the naked eye.\nA blackhead occurs when the pore opens to the surface and the sebum, which contains the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes and turns a brown/black color. It is not dirt and can not be washed away. Blackheads can last for a long time because the contents very slowly drain to the surface. A blackhead or whitehead can release its contents to the surface and heal or the follicle wall can rupture and inflammatory acne can ensue. This rupture can be caused by random occurrence or by picking or touching the skin. This is why it is important to leave acne prone skin relatively untouched.\nThe cause of pimples is unknown. The process by which a pimple develops is highly intricate. While we do know that a pore collapses on itself and blocks sebum (oil) from escaping, we do not fully understand why this process takes place in onesebaceous gland versus another.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 473, "token_count_with_eod": 474, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "The late nineties saw Marzocchi pull mountain bike suspension technology into the future. While at first it was the 100mm Z1, the Z2 soon followed as a fork for those who weren't going so huge and didn't need 100mm of travel (it was a different time back then). The Z2 offered 65mm of plush travel with a proper cartridge without plastic bits to break, and without using elastomers that went hard or just changed their characteristics too much with the weather. And yeah, they were coil sprung.\nThe Marzocchi range exploded from then, but now that Marzocchi sits withint the Fox house, their new range is refined and killer value. You can see Ryan Walsch's review of the Z1 fork and CR rear shock in our current issue.\nThe Z2 is here again, and just like the Bomber Z1 pulls from the Fox 36 parts bin, the Bomber Z2 can be viewed as the 34 equivalent. But there are actually a number of differences.\nThe Z2 is super versatile and has travel options at 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm and 150mm. Factor in offsets of 37mm, 44mm and 51mm and a size that suits 27.5x2.8 or 29x2.6\" tyre maximums and you have a really verstaile fork. A hard hitting XC fork? Yes, it can do it. A long travel trail fork for a slacked out trail bike? Yes, there is a Z2 for that.\nThe Bomber Z2 comes in matte black or gloss red, and of course has the distinctive M arch that is said to promote greater tyre clearance and fork stiffness.\nSuspension damping is taken care of by the new RAIL damper system and a Fox Float air spring. The damper can be moved throughout the range of compression damping to a full lock out.\nAs for rebound, there is a 12-click slow speed rebound adjuster, and the cartridge has a tuneable rebound circuit so you can adjust the mid to high speed rebound speeds to suit your trails and riding style. And while the feeling of the fork is super plush, there is a tuning that means it sits high in its travel, not wallowing part way in. This will help combat brake dive and pushing hard into corners as well.\nIt all sounds pretty good to us - but we'll have to wait until we get a set of forks to test to see if the performance is there. With a price of $899, this is a whole lot of suspension performance and a lot less than much of the high end competition. And there will be an eMTB specific set of forks later this year!\nSola Sport will have Marzocchi Bomber Z2 forks in stock in late May. Contact your local bike shop for specific details.\nWant to know more about trail forks already on the market?

An individual therapeutic concept for a 21-year-old patient].\nThe fibrolamellar karzinoma of the liver (FLC) as an uncommon variant of the hepatocellular karzinoma (HCC) is an indolent growing tumor. In its prior manifestation the FLC occurs at the adolescence and young adult stage. Early stage diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment achieve better long-term results than usual resection of the HCC. Usually the FLC is, caused by its inconspicuous clinical appearance, diagnosed at a stage too advanced for effective surgical treatment. Especially the young patient's age and the remaining therapeutic options for palliative or curative treatment postulate a difficult decision for the surgeon. When a subtotal hepatectomy cannot be performed, total hepatectomy with liver transplantation is a valuable option. Palliative treatment protocols include systemic chemotherapy, ethanol instillation and chemoembolisation. We report the case of a 21-year-old male patient who presented with a recurrent intrahepatic FLC, peritoneal karzinomatosis confined to the right lower abdomen including gastric, splenic, diaphragmatic and colon transversum metastasis 14 months after primary surgery. We selected this patient as a reasonable candidate for an extended resection in trying to offer the optimal therapeutic modality. Thus we performed a right hemihepatectomy, near complete resection of the right diaphragm, total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy including en bloc resection of spleen, colon transversum, omentum majus and peritonectomy of the paravesical region.

{"text": "This semester I am teaching a conceptual physics class at LSU that uses minimal mathematics to understand how the Universe works. Yesterday, we covered the chapter on gravity and my closing question to my students was, \"What would happen to the Earth's orbit if the Sun were to become a black hole instantly?\" Assume that it simply changes in size from what it is now to how big a black hole with the same mass would be and the center of mass never changes.\nI'm not going to make you wait... Nothing would happen to the Earth's orbit!\nThis is one of the most dramatic examples of simply using an equation to tell a story that I have come across. I suspect that much of the drama comes from the misconception that black holes WILL consume EVERYTHING, turning most people's mental picture of a black hole into a universal drain.\nOn the left side of \"=\" we don't have a character, but the ending of our story: F. (This is the gravitational force that will be felt between two masses.) We can also think of F as the attraction between our characters. Therefore, the larger the attraction F, the better the 'Happily ever after...' ending.\nG is a VERY small constant that is fundamental to the Universe. That is, there is no way to derive its value from any theory, we simply determined this value from measurements. Since G doesn't change, it is more of a background prop than a character; we don't need to worry about it since the moral of our story will be the same with or without it.\nNext we have our two lovers: masses m1 and m2. I call them lovers because they are attracted to each other (literally since gravity tends to pull mass together).\nThat is the complete cast of characters in this story! There are no extras milling around in the background.\nThe more massive either of our lovers (m1 or m2) are, the more they will be attracted to each other.\nNo unrequited love: m1 and m2 are always equally attracted to each other. It doesn't matter if one is more massive than the other.\nLove is blind: There is nothing in our script which describes the size or shape of our lovers. Assuming m1 and m2 stay the same distance apart and their masses don't change, they will always be equally attracted to each other. m1 will love m2 the same regardless of whether its mass is made up of dense muscle or voluminous blubber.\nNow that we have the script to our play, let's see how the ending turns out when we cast the Sun as m1 and the Earth as m2. The scene opens the with Earth orbiting the Sun a fixed distance r away (this is called an astronomical unit, AU, and it is about 93 million miles). We sit and watch the Sun and the Earth be attracted to each other, but the villain of distance keeps them apart. In an attempt to overcome our villain, the Sun decides to implode on itself, sucking all of its mass into a ball less than about 3.72 miles across. Now it is a black hole but, according to our script, the Earth felt no change since its love it blind! The mass of the Sun didn't change and its center is still in the same place. Drat, the Sun didn't succeed in increasing its attraction with the Earth!", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 694, "token_count_with_eod": 695, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction) (CD-Audio)\nBy Donna Tartt, David Pittu (Read by)\nWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE\n\"The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction.\"--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review\nTheo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.\nAs an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.\nThe Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.\nDonna Tartt is the author of The Goldfinch, which was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Her novels The Secret History and The Little Friend have been translated into 30 languages.

{"text": "Search form\n\nThe Democrats May Be Hoist on Clinton's Own Petard\n\nIn this election cycle, those 'issues ads' he created last time are likely to be\nexceeded by the GOP.\n\nYou'd be forgiven if you thought of the contest for the presidency as two\nbig battles--first, the primary battle to choose each party's nominee, which\nthis year is effectively over, and then the general election battle, which\nstarts just after the nominating conventions in August and runs through\nelection day. So you might suppose that now we'll have a 5-month\nbreather.\n\nBut you'd be wrong. One of the most important battles of the election will\nbe between now and Aug. 15. That's when each likely nominee will launch\nintense barrages of televised ads designed to raise questions in voters'\nminds about the suitability of his rival in the opposite party. The ads will be\npaid for largely by big, unregulated donations to the Republican and\nDemocratic national committees-- \"soft money,\" in campaign lingo.\n\nPresident Clinton will be remembered for many things, but his biggest\nlegacy to the democratic process comes from what he did before the 1996\ngeneral election with money flowing into the Democratic National\nCommittee. He oversaw the creation of \"issues ads,\" which beat up on Bob\nDole and the Republicans. The ads were developed and run by the same\npolitical consultants who designed the official Clinton campaign ads. But\nrather than being paid for by the Clinton campaign, which had agreed to\nabide by spending limits, the ads were paid for with unregulated money\nfrom the Democratic National Committee, which raked in about $2 million a\nweek to air them wherever around the country they'd have the most\nimpact.\n\nBefore then, almost everyone in politics assumed that the federal election\nlaws barred a candidate who sought federal \"matching\" funds in a general\nelection from using unrestricted party donations on ads attacking his\nopponent. Bill Clinton, however, exploited what he thought was a\nloophole. Neither the Federal Election Commission nor any court had\ndecided whether advertisements about \"issues,\" which didn't explicitly ask\nvoters to vote for the candidate who created the ads, were subject to the\nspending limits. (After the 1996 election, the FEC staff said they were, but\nthey were overruled by the FEC's appointed commissioners, who thought\nthe law ambiguous on this point.)\n\nThe Republicans were taken by surprise. Clinton (operating as the DNC)\nspent $46.5 million on these issues ads. Dole and the Republican National\nCommittee spent $18 million on their own versions, which didn't begin until\nmuch later. Undoubtedly, the Clinton strategy helped win him the election:\nIn February 1996, Dole trailed Clinton by only a few points. Five months\nlater, after being pummeled by the accusations in the ads and with limited\nopportunity to respond to them, Dole was 20 points behind.\n\nThe Republicans will not be outfoxed again. Their pockets are deeper than\nthe Democrats' pockets, and their soft-money system is fully geared up for\nthe April 1-Aug. 15 air war. The RNC already has accumulated at least $10\nmillion, probably closer to $20 million, and would be even more flush had\nJohn McCain not dented George W. Bush's inevitability. Now that Bush has\nregained his footing, the RNC will easily rake in $200 million, according to\nWashington experts, most of which will be spent on issues ads attacking\nthe Democratic nominee.\n\nThe DNC, with less than $1.5 million now, won't come close to raising this\nmuch. \"What the president and I tell donors,\" Democratic General\nChairman Edward G. Rendell said recently, \"is that we need the money to\nbe competitive in the period from April 1 to Aug. 15.\" Clinton is scheduled\nto appear at more than 35 DNC fund-raising events before this week, with\nthe goal of raising $20 million. The DNC's most optimistic projection is to\nraise $100 million for the air war, exactly half of what the RNC is almost\ncertain to amass.\n\nA petard is a small bell-shaped bomb that was used to breach a medieval\ngate or wall. Occasionally, a person who set one off didn't get out of the\nway in time and, as the saying goes, was hoist on it. Clinton threw a\npetard in 1996 on which the Democrats are about to be hoist.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nRobert B.

The complaint alleged that all of the named defendants \"may claim a lien or interest in the subject real estate by reason of their claims in and connection with Bernalillo County Consolidated Cause No. CV-77-0142 and CV-77-02209 and may claim an interest in the funds held in escrow by plaintiff.\" The litigation to which the complaint refers has been before this court on three other occasions. See Robison v. Katz, 94 N.M. 314, 610 P.2d 201 (Ct.App. 1980) (Robison I); Robison v. Campbell, 99 N.M. 579, 661 P.2d 479 (Ct.App. 1983) (Robison II); Robison v. Campbell, 101 N.M. 393, 683 P.2d 510 (Ct.App. 1984) (Robison III).\nIn the present case, the trial court denied a motion by Beverly Katz (appellant) to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and granted summary judgment in favor of Dixie Dee Campbell Hinton and the law firm of Threet and King (appellees).[1] On appeal, appellant first contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion to dismiss, because the matter arises out of a levy under a Bernalillo County writ of execution. See NMSA 1978, §§ 39-4-1 and -3. She also contends that if the trial court had jurisdiction, it erred in granting summary judgment, because the escrow fund secures *10 a money judgment in her favor. In our view, the record does not support either argument, and we affirm.\n\nBACKGROUND.\nIn 1976, appellant owned real property located in Los Alamos County on which a duplex was located. In July of that year, Katz exchanged the duplex for a trailer park pursuant to a real estate contract with Opal Campbell, her son Sam Campbell, and her daughter Dixie Hinton. Appellant rented an apartment in the duplex from the Campbells, and they rented a trailer space from her. Controversy over the transaction developed by December 1976, and two related lawsuits were filed and then consolidated in 1977.\nIn Bernalillo County Cause No. CV-77-1421, Bud Robison, the realtor who represented the Campbells and Ms. Hinton in the transaction, sought declaratory judgment as to his liability for misrepresentation. Appellant counterclaimed against Robison and cross-claimed against the Campbells on the basis of fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty, seeking rescission and consequential and punitive damages. Campbells cross-claimed against Robison for damages for abuse of privacy. In Bernalillo County Cause No. CV-77-2209, Campbells sued appellant for rent. After the two cases were consolidated, the trial court found that both Robison and Campbell had negligently misrepresented the park's condition. However, the court refused to grant rescission; he concluded that appellant's inability to return the trailer park barred that remedy.[2] The trial judge awarded appellant damages, other than consequential and punitive damages, and awarded Campbells various setoffs, thereby reducing appellant's total award to $26,789 plus costs. In addition, the trial court granted appellant's attorneys, Sutin, Thayer & Browne, a charging lien and awarded the Campbells damages against Robison for abuse of privacy. Judgment was entered March 13, 1978. Appellant, Robison, and the Sutin law firm appealed.\nAppellant had filed a notice of lis pendens in 1977. She filed a transcript of judgment on April 5, 1978, and on August 3, she filed pro se two additional notices of lis pendens, which referred to the prior litigation and the unpaid judgment.\nWhile Robison I was pending, the trial court entered an order prohibiting Campbells from selling the Los Alamos duplex pending disposition of the appeal. However, they secured a writ of prohibition from the supreme court, and the duplex was sold in May 1979. At that time, the title company set aside $35,586.28 of the sale proceeds after an exchange of letters with Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe, who represented the Campbells. In that correspondence, the Campbells agreed that sum should be held in escrow, and the title company agreed that the money would be repaid to Ms. Campbell if the 1978 judgment were reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. The check evidencing the deposit bears the notation that it is \"[m]oney held for Bud Robison Realty Mortgage * * * and Katz lien.\"\nIn July 1979, Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe filed an attorney's lien, which related back to December 6, 1976, in the sum of $28,362.02 against any recovery due the Campbells. In November 1979, the Campbells moved for an order requiring a release of the funds held in escrow to the registry of the district court. The motion was denied.\nIn March 1980, the court of appeals issued its decision in Robison I. The court reversed, on the ground that under the special circumstances presented by the facts, rescission would be allowed. The court remanded for further proceedings, including an accounting. The court noted that although special and punitive damages could be awarded against Robison, double recovery was to be avoided. The court also held that the Campbells had no cause of action against Robison.\nTrial on remand occurred in March 1981. The trial court dismissed as to Sam Campbell *11 and Dixie Hinton and awarded appellant a money judgment based on the accounting, consequential damages against Opal Campbell and Robison, and punitive damages against Robison. Because the Los Alamos duplex had been disposed of prior to the date mandate issued, the trial court included its value at the time of sale, plus interest and rental value, in calculating the gross sum due appellant from the Campbells. The judgment included an attorney's charging lien in favor of Sutin, Thayer & Browne against their client's recovery. The second judgment was entered July 21, 1981. On July 20, the Campbells had assigned their interest in the fund held by the title company to Threet and King. The record indicates that at that time the Campbells owed Threet and King over $50,000. It is undisputed that Threet and King is the successor to Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe.\nAppellant again appealed; Sutin, Thayer & Browne, Opal Campbell, and Robison cross-appealed. See generally Robison II. On appeal, this court first determined that it was error to dismiss the claim against Sam Campbell. The court also held that the charging lien was valid because it attached to the second judgment; although appellant's personal liability for attorney's fees had been discharged in bankruptcy, the lien was not affected. This court affirmed the trial court's decision that a reasonable fee was $25,000. As to the gross sum due appellant on the basis of the accounting, there were errors requiring remand, but this court affirmed the trial court's decision to include the value of the duplex in the gross sum due appellant. This court also affirmed the trial court's calculation of the setoff due the Campbells. The court reversed the award for damages made jointly against Opal Campbell and Robison, affirmed the sum awarded appellant against Robison for consequential damages, but because that award was reduced significantly, reversed the award of punitive damages and remanded for reconsideration.\nOn September 13, 1983, the trial court entered judgment on the mandate, again awarding appellant $10,000 in punitive damages. Robison appealed and the Campbells cross-appealed. On September 21, appellant obtained a writ of execution from the Bernalillo County district court addressed to the sheriff of Los Alamos County. According to the sheriff's return of service, he served a copy on the title company. Shortly after he served the copy, the present suit was filed in Los Alamos County. Apparently the present lawsuit, as well as execution on the 1983 judgment, was held in abeyance until after mandate had issued in Robison III.[3] In 1985, several motions were filed in Los Alamos district court. Plaintiff, Sutin, Thayer & Browne and appellees moved for summary judgment. The evidence before the trial court consisted of affidavits and copies of documents attached as exhibits. Appellant moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. She also asked that the Los Alamos duplex be returned to her. While she acknowledged the validity of her former attorney's charging lien, she contended that it did not preclude her right to restitution of the land itself. After a hearing, at which the trial court heard arguments by counsel, the court denied the motions made by appellant, awarded plaintiff counsel fees, and granted appellees' motion for summary judgment.\nAlthough there are four arguments on appeal, the first challenges the trial court's jurisdiction and the others address the priority of appellees' rights in the fund. For this reason, we discuss the appellate issues under two headings.\n\nWHETHER THE TRIAL COURT HAD JURISDICTION.\nAppellant contends that under Section 39-4-1, the Bernalillo County district court had exclusive jurisdiction over the *12 fund. Therefore, she concludes that the Los Alamos district court lacked jurisdiction.\nSection 39-4-1 provides that:\nThe party in whose favor any judgment, order or decree in any court may be returned, shall have execution therefor in conformity to the order, judgment or decree. Said execution may be issued to the sheriff of any county of the state, and levy and sale made in any county wherein the judgment debtor may have property subject to execution.\nThe court where the judgment or decree was rendered shall have jurisdiction over all matters growing out of the levy or sale under any execution.\nUnder Section 39-4-3, the officer in whose hands the writ is placed for execution:\n* * * shall call upon the defendant for payment thereof, or to show him sufficient goods, chattels, effects and lands, whereof the same may be satisfied; and if the officer fail to find property sufficient to make the same he shall notify all persons who may be indebted to said defendant not to pay said defendant, but to appear before the court, out of which said execution issued * * *.\nHowever, the record does not support a conclusion that the title company was indebted to the Campbells within the meaning of Section 39-4-3 or that the sheriff to whom the writ was entrusted for execution completed the steps that result in the Bernalillo County district court acquiring jurisdiction. Under our cases, the debt must be absolutely and unconditionally owing and payable at the time of the summons, and the obligation must not be dependent on the existence or performance of contractual conditions. Garland v. Sperling Bros., 6 N.M. 623, 30 P. 925 (1892), aff'd, 7 N.M. 121, 32 P. 499 (1893); see also Jemko, Inc. v. Liaghat, 106 N.M. 50, 738 P.2d 922 (Ct.App. 1987). Further, substantial compliance with the statute authorizing garnishment is essential to jurisdiction over the garnishee. Garland v. Sperling Bros. In this case, for example, there is no evidence that the sheriff made demand on the judgment debtor. For these reasons, the first issue is without merit.\n\nWHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT.\nThe facts are not in dispute, but rather the legal effect of the facts is at issue. Under these circumstances, on appeal the question is whether the claimants in whose favor the trial court ruled were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Koenig v. Perez, 104 N.M. 664, 726 P.2d 341 (1986).\nIn effect, all of appellant's arguments are variations on a single theme: it is inequitable not to allow her to reach the fund ahead of appellees because that fund stands in place of the Los Alamos duplex to which Robison I ruled she was entitled. We note with great regret that the legal process did not resolve the dispute among the parties expeditiously, and that appellant has yet to recover all of the money awarded her. Nevertheless, the record does not support a conclusion that she has a superior right to the fund.\nThe March 13, 1978 judgment provided that all notices of lis pendens previously filed were dissolved. There is no evidence that a supersedeas bond was filed or a stay obtained. Appellant claims that because the 1978 judgment was reversed on appeal, the effect of the notice continued until 1984, when the supreme court denied certiorari in Robison III. There seems to be a split of authority on the question of whether a notice of lis pendens continues to be effective pending appellate review of a final judgment without regard to the filing of a bond or securing a stay. See 54 C.J.S. Lis Pendens § 36(e) (1948); cf. Higgins v. Fuller, 48 N.M. 215, 148 P.2d 573 (1943) (a self-executing judgment order or decree is not within statute providing for supersedeas bond).\nAppellant also contends that because the notice was never cancelled pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 38-1-15, it continued in effect after the March 13, 1978 judgment. It is undisputed that in March 1985, the notices of lis pendens had not been cancelled by court order pursuant to Section *13 38-1-15. We assume, but need not decide, that the 1977 notice was effective until 1984.[4]\nUnder our statute, a notice of lis pendens provides constructive notice to subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers of litigation affecting the title to real property. Superior Constr., Inc. v. Linnerooth, 103 N.M. 716, 712 P.2d 1378 (1986). It is a republication of the pleadings filed in the pending judicial proceedings. If judgment is in favor of the one filing the notice, the rights of that party relate back to the date of the notice. Cf. Bell v. Gaylord, 6 N.M. 227, 27 P. 494 (1891) (analyzing the effect of lis pendens filed in connection with a writ of attachment).\nAppellant ultimately recovered a money judgment, rather than the land, which was affirmed in Robison II. Under New Mexico law, a money judgment becomes a lien on the judgment debtor's realty when the transcript of the judgment docket is filed and recorded with the county clerk of the county in which the realty is located. Ranchers State Bank of Belen v. Vega, 99 N.M. 42, 653 P.2d 873 (1982). Although separate rights and causes of action arise from a judgment and a judgment lien, the existence of a valid judgment is a prerequisite to the existence of a judgment lien. Western States Collection Co. v. Shain, 83 N.M. 203, 490 P.2d 461 (1971). Thus, the transcript of judgment filed in 1978 was not effective to create a lien on the Los Alamos duplex after the judgment was reversed in Robison I. Id.\nWe conclude that appellant is attempting to establish a judgment lien by a method other than the method provided by the legislature. The notice of lis pendens was not effective in itself to create a lien. Cf. Bell v. Gaylord. Additionally, under the New Mexico statute, notices of lis pendens do not give special protection where the ultimate recovery, as here, is a money judgment. See NMSA 1978, § 38-1-14; Tate v. Sanders, 245 Mo. 186, 149 S.W. 485 (1912); cf. In re Lafayette Houses, City of New York, 220 N.Y.S.2d 109 (1961). While the object of an attachment is to create a prior lien on the property of the attachment debtor as security on any judgment that may be obtained thereafter on the demands covered by the attachment, see Staab v. Hersch, 3 N.M. (Gild., E.W.S. ed.) 209, 3 P. 248 (1884), we need not decide whether appellant had statutory grounds for attachment, see NMSA 1978, Sections 42-9-1 and -39. The record does not support a conclusion that the statutory procedures were invoked. See NMSA 1978, § 42-9-4; see Southern California Fruit Exch. v. Stamm, 9 N.M. 361, 54 P. 345 (1898).\nAppellant also argues that she is a third-party beneficiary of the written contract between the title company and the Campbells. But see McKinney v. Davis, 84 N.M. 352, 503 P.2d 332 (1972). The correspondence between the title company and the Campbells on which Katz relies and other documents in the file support a conclusion that the fund was created to satisfy the lien Katz obtained in 1978. Because that judgment was reversed, we construe appellant's argument on appeal as a claim that the arrangement between the title company and the Campbells should be viewed as giving rise to an equitable lien in her favor based on an implied-in-fact agreement. See 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(b)(1) (1948). Under our cases, however, the particular funds must have been appropriated by the debtor to the satisfaction of the debt or the agreement must clearly disclose the intent to create a lien on that fund. See Reserve Plan, Inc. v. Peters, 71 N.M. 25, 375 P.2d 576 (1962). In our view, the requisite intent is not present. See id.\nWe recognize that there are two kinds of equitable liens. See D. Dobbs, Handbook on the Law of Remedies § 4.3 at 249-50 (1973). One kind is based on agreement, while the other is a remedial device, used to enforce a right to restitution in order to prevent unjust enrichment. Id.; see also G. Palmer, I The Law of Restitution § 1.5 at 20-21 (1978); 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(a) (1948). Our existing case law *14 concerns the former. See Reserve Plan, Inc. v. Peters. Because appellant basically contends the result below was inequitable, we have considered the question of whether there are particular facts and circumstances present that justify recognition of the second kind of equitable lien.[5]\nThe particular facts and circumstances argued to the trial court and asserted on appeal include the sale and the assignment. Because the writ of prohibition obtained by the Campbells voided the Bernalillo County district court order denying their right to sell, we are not willing to characterize the sale as wrongful. The Campbells subsequently asked the trial court to allow the fund to be paid into the court registry, but their request was denied. For these reasons, and because our case law recognizes an attorney's right to a lien against a sum awarded as a setoff, see Forrest Currell Lumber Co. v. Thomas, 82 N.M. 789, 487 P.2d 491 (1971), we also are not willing to characterize the assignment as wrongful. There being no other argument for equitable relief, see 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(c) (1948), we conclude that appellant has not established a right to the second kind of equitable lien. See generally Restatement of the Law of Restitution § 202 (1937).\nAppellant also has argued that the Sutin, Thayer & Browne lien attached to her judgment first, and therefore there was nothing for the Campbells to assign to the Threet law firm. This argument depends on a determination that appellant has an interest in the fund. Under our analysis, she does not. Thus, we do not need to decide whether a charging lien against a judgment has priority over a charging lien against a setoff on that judgment. See Robison I.\n\nCONCLUSION.\nFor the foregoing reasons, the trial court judgment should be affirmed. Although oral argument was requested, it is the opinion of the panel that oral argument is not necessary. Therefore, appellees' motion for oral argument is denied. See Garcia v. Genuine Parts Co., 90 N.M. 124, 560 P.2d 545 (Ct.App. 1977). No costs are awarded.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nALARID and APODACA, JJ., concur.\nNOTES\n[1] Although the caption used by the parties at trial and on appeal includes Opal A. Campbell and Sam T. Campbell among the group of defendants-appellees, the arguments on appeal concern claims by or on behalf of Ms. Hinton and Threet and King. For this reason, we have designated them in the opinion as appellees.\n[2] Appellant had made all payments due with respect to the trailer park until August 1977, when she defaulted on an underlying real estate contract. The vendor terminated the contract due to this default, during the period after the two complaints were filed and prior to trial.\n[3] The court of appeals decision was filed May 3, 1984. The sheriff's return of service is dated July 7, 1984. In November, the Bernalillo County district court ordered distribution to Sutin, Thayer & Browne in partial satisfaction of their charging lien. Pursuant to the court's order, Robison paid the sum of $14,743, from which $4,315.20 was deducted in favor of appellant for costs.\n[4] It was not clear whether appellant relies on the 1978 notices. Because we assume the 1977 notice was effective as a notice until 1984, we need not analyze the effect of those notices.\n[5] There is no evidence before the trial court of the fund's present value. However, counsel for Sutin, Thayer & Browne stated at the hearing that it contained over $60,000. There was no dispute.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 5482, "token_count_with_eod": 5483, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

{"text": "One of the most significant developments over the past few years in the investment trust sector has been the large increase in the number and value of sector-specific Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). These are closed-ended funds that invest in physical property assets, funded by equity (cash raised from investors like ourselves in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)) and debt (typically provided by banks or insurance companies) and are required to pay out almost all of their profits as income.\nThose familiar with our Funds will know we shun open-ended property funds in favour of these vehicles, which offer a far more appropriate way to access this relatively illiquid asset class.\nThe spate of REIT issuance has been particularly marked since summer 2016 when yields on fixed income assets were at their nadir. In June 2016 there were 15 REITs invested in £8.4bn of UK property (Source: AIC Website). With the prevailing 10 year UK government bond yielding less than 1% that summer, and investment grade corporate bonds yielding on average just 1-1.5% more, investors turned to property to provide income. Fast forward to February 2018 and there are now 23 REITs investing in £12.4bn of UK property assets (Source: AIC Website). Over this period, Vanbrugh’s UK property exposure has risen from 5.5% to 8.9% and Distribution’s from 6.4% to 14.9%.\nWe will focus on two specific areas: warehouses and social housing to illustrate why we think a great many interesting opportunities have arisen and why we do not think that the growth in the sector is purely a cynical reaction to the demand for income-yielding assets.\nWe own two REITs that specialise in logistics. Warehouse REIT and Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT own small to medium-sized warehouses let to good quality corporate clients.\nThese warehouses are business-critical assets and may be used as storage centres, distribution hubs, or even as key parts of a manufacturing process, or indeed all three.\nSigning more lucrative long-term leases with the tenants.\nThe supply of distribution warehouses is more than a third lower than the peak post-recession in 2009 (Source: Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT). Land availability is very constrained: developers prefer higher value-added residential land and councils are reluctant to re-zone land for industrial use.\nDemand has been driven by the cyclical boost from economic growth but more importantly by the structural demand from online retail: for every £1bn of new online retail sales an additional 1.125 million sq ft of new distribution space is required (Source: Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT and JPMorgan June 2007). At the current pace of growth, this translates to an average of c. 4.5 million sq ft p.a of incremental demand.\nThe potential returns available on these REITs are attractive. Yields are over 6% and we expect capital appreciation driven by rental growth of at least 5% – implying double digit returns annually. Neither of the trusts we are invested in currently is highly geared compared with many property investment vehicles. We think these kinds of returns relative to the risks involved are extremely attractive.\nMost large commercial property funds managed by the major investment houses are predominantly exposed to the two largest subsectors: offices and retail. It is much harder for these behemoths to invest meaningful weights in the industrial sector due to the number of much lower value transactions that are necessary: a warehouse costs a fraction of an office block. However, this subsector’s performance has far outpaced traditional office and retail – meaning the larger managers are striving to increase weightings to avoid underperforming their multi-sector benchmarks. This creates an excellent further technical tailwind for the subsector.\nWe are particularly drawn to smaller specialist REITs, rather than general commercial property REITs. As investors we can focus on niche areas within the broad property asset classes that are most likely to perform best. We do not have to purchase the larger trusts that are invested in traditional retail and office (and thus offer inferior return prospects) and because our own Funds are not huge themselves, we can make smaller specialist REITs meaningful weightings.\nAnother example of a specialist area we can access via smaller specialist REITs is social housing (residential accommodation for people who require specialist assistance). This is an example of one of those happy times that private capital can do real social good.\nThere is an extreme shortage of social housing in this country and the government realises that private capital is required to develop the infrastructure needed to house these vulnerable individuals.\nWe have supported one such REIT, Civitas Social Housing, which is managed by individuals with long experience in the sector, and who have the needs of the tenants at the forefront of their minds. Tenants are housed in quality residences that are very much part of the local community – very different from the forbidding and unwelcoming institutions one might imagine for social care. The rental yields are attractive (c. 5%) and provide full inflation linkage guaranteed indirectly by the government via local authority funding.\nIt is worth comparing these sorts of investments to the liquid mainstream fixed income universe.\nTo generate anything like the level of yield available from specialist REITs would require an investment in bonds with extremely low credit ratings – or to put it another way, it would require lending money to some fundamentally weak companies.\nWith these specialist REITs, the managers lease the properties to good quality tenants. In a worst case scenario where the tenant defaults, the managers are confident that they can re-lease the properties to new tenants very quickly.\nTo conclude, an investment in either our Vanbrugh or Distribution Funds gives you access to a very wide range of assets. Even within our property weightings, we give our investors access to very specific subsectors rather than the generic commercial office and retail exposure that you might usually expect from property funds.\nWhile our UK property weightings have risen substantially over the last 18 months (a period that has coincided with tremendous growth in the investment trust property sector), we believe that the trusts we own offer our investors targeted exposure to those areas of the property market which have the best risk / return profiles, and are managed by experts in their fields.\nThis financial promotion is issued by Hawksmoor Fund Managers which is a trading name of Hawksmoor Investment Management (“Hawksmoor”).

{"text": "This thesis examines the work of reformer Lugenia Burns Hope and her community organization, the Neighborhood Union, as a case study to unpack scholarly characterizations of black elite uplift strategies during the early 20th century. The Neighborhood Union was established in 1908 in Atlanta by Hope and women from the community to build stronger neighborhoods and to combat the deleterious effects of the 1906 Race Riots and Jim Crow laws. Neighborhood Union settlement houses provided basic and extracurricular services, including kindergartens for working mothers, vocational classes, and lecture series. The organization’s exceptional, multi-class leadership structure enabled members of the black poor and working classes to lead their own projects with the assistance of Neighborhood Union resources.\nHope’s background provides evidence against broad generalizations of the black elite as paternalistic, and her vision of creating democratic communities that diminished class barriers provides a counter narrative to characterizations of clubwomen and the black elite as engaging in respectability politics in their social work. Understood within its historical and sociopolitical context, Hope’s life and work also challenge mainstream narratives of the Progressive Era and the Social Gospel movement.\nPierson, Madeleine, \"A Model For Empowerment: Lugenia Burns Hope’s Community Vision Through the Neighborhood Union\" (2016).

{"text": "I pay nothing for the fuel on my solar system since the sun's rays are free. Because the electricity goes through a sophisticated inverter before it gets to my appliances, the electricity is higher quality and more consistent than grid supplied electricity. I do not worry about maintenance because my installer warranties the system for 5 years and the panel manufacturer warranties the panels for 20 years. The inverters are the most complex part of the system and will have to be replaced before the panels lose 15% of their output capacity. With federal, state, utility and local incentives a solar PV system is 1 of the most lucrative and safest investments a homeowner of business owner can make (in many cases better than investing in energy efficiency).\nWe will never be energy independent as long as the electric grids continue to supply us electric power. You may disagree with me 100%. There is another issue and that is the energy economy. When we produced electric power using dams there were no charges for fuels. This was the very first form of generating electric power. As time continued people started to move away for coastal cities and river areas. Thus coal was used to make steam from clean clear water. Remember energy can not be destroyed nor created. The problem that Thomas Edison saw back in the 1930's was it takes thousands of years for our earth to produce not create coal, oil and natural gas. Yet it takes us seconds to burn these fuels.\nI guess not too many people know a true cost of an off the grid solar system and how it works. Instead for some reason you want to add some kind of fueled generation. It is very simple once you understand how to produce electric power. You know this section on linked in is all about Solar PV Professionals. Now you have me wondering. It is understood that not too many people understand that if you have no sun you have no power. This is not true. You can store electric power to be used during the non-sun light hours. We will never solve our energy problems if we think the same that caused the problem. The problem is two fold. The world's grids are failing. The second problem is you don't need fuel or diesel motors to produce electric power. The only solution is a true off the grid solar PV system for electric power and solar heat collectors for heat and hot water. Why can't anybody understand; that the most powerful source of energy is not fuel. It is the sun's energy. Fuel is just stored energy, just like a battery.\nDistributed energy supply (as opposite to the existing grid system) and energy independence are certainly the future not only in rural areas, but rural areas without access to the grid are the starting point for solar PV/wind power generation and battery/hydrogen power storage.\nThe missing link is cheap and efficient power storage (long term seasonal is more difficult than short term day/night). Novel battery chemistries are under development that meet required life cycles and other performance parameters (10,000 charge cycles at any PSoD, 100% DoD, no maintenance, ambient temperature), but not yet available for the mass market. Safe and cost efficient hydrogen storage is pure SciFi, as currently available round trip efficiency is less than 20% (H2-electrolysis / storage / fuel cell) and safe H2-storage that you can bring into the household does not yet exist.", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 699, "token_count_with_eod": 700, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}

{"text": "Thursday, October 20, 2011\n\nBurnie Burns\n\nBurnie Burns is the founder of Rooster Teeth Productions. He spoke to Texas State students about machinima and his web video series Red Vs. Blue. Machinima is created by taking animation from video games and putting a voice track over it. In other words, Burnie Burns makes shows for video games. Burns takes concepts from video games and creates stories that are as real life as possible. He makes shows that he would want to watch and use.\n\nRed Vs. Blue is a hybrid model machinima animation. The artists that worked on Red Vs. Blue were people that they found online doing things for fun or as their hobby. Burnie Burns plays as an actor in most of his michinima productions by doing the voices for some of his game characters. Other actors also contribute to the voices, making the productions a team effort. Burns writes the scripts for all his games and takes suggestions from the rest of his team as well.\n\nThe Red Vs. Blue script is very serial because you know all the characters and what is going on. The stories are told over a period of time and has seasons just like shows such as Gossip Girl. Burns interacts with the audience to see what they are liking and not liking. He plans to make 10 seasons of these animated shows and has had 1 billion hits so far. He is now a licensed partner with microsoft.\n\nHe also told us that there are 728 million views on youtube and that there are 36 hours of video uploaded to youtube every hour. My favorite part of his interview was when he showed us the youtube video of \"crackdown 2 orbs.\" He found a polish man on youtube who recorded his voice while playing this video game. The youtube video consisted of the man cursing while playing the video game. It was hilarious so he hired him and paid him to keep making these videos.\n\nBurns said he hires people that are good artists, animators, and people with experience in web video production. When asked where he sees web video going he said mobile. The advise he gave to students was to put your work out there on the Internet because you never know what people are going to like and how many hits your going to get.

{"text": "The humans hiding behind the chatbots\nAmy Ingram, the artificial intelligence personal assistant from startup X.ai, sounds remarkably like a real person. The company designed her to take on the mundane tasks of scheduling meetings and e-mailing about appointments.\nIf a bot had access to your calendar and was cc-ed on correspondence, why couldn’t it do the work for you? After she made her debut in 2014, users praised her “humanlike tone” and “eloquent manners.”\n“Actually better than a human for this task,” a beta tester tweeted. But what most people don't realize about this artificial intelligence is that it isn't totally artificial: Behind almost every e-mail is an actual human—someone like 24-year-old Willie Calvin. Calvin, who worked as an AI trainer for X.ai before he said he quit in October, was part of the reason Amy never tripped up, sending the sort of blind response that reveals she’s a bot. The company advertises Amy as an AI personal assistant who can “magically schedule meetings,” and its software does scan e-mails and can usually guess that “tomorrow\" means Tuesday.\nBut the system isn’t yet ready to take the next step on its own. Multiple former AI trainers said that as recently as a few months ago, trainers looked over parts of almost all incoming e-mails — to evaluate what Amy guessed the user was saying— before Amy generated an auto response. A company spokeswoman said the service still has trainers verify “the vast majority” of information in e-mails so the system can improve.\nCalvin joined X.ai in December 2014 just a few months after graduating from the University of Chicago with a public policy degree. He was under the impression that his $45,000 annual salary job as an AI trainer would be half product development and half reviewing the algorithm’s accuracy. He said he was asked, as part of the job application, to write a one-page essay on why automation would be good for jobs and workers. X.ai declined to comment on specific hiring practices.\nHe was excited at the chance to do product development at a tech startup, but once he started work, he said he found that the product part of the job never materialized. Instead, Calvin said he sometimes sat in front of a computer for 12 hours a day, clicking and highlighting phrases.\n“It was either really boring or incredibly frustrating,” he said. “It was a weird combination of the exact same thing over and over again and really frustrating single cases of a person demanding something we couldn’t provide.” Kristal Bergfield, who oversees X.ai’s trainers, said that that the job has evolved over time and entails hard work. “We’re building something that’s entirely new,” she said. “It’s an incredibly ambitious thing, and so are the people who work here.”\nA handful of companies employ humans pretending to be robots pretending to be humans. In the past two years, companies offering do-anything concierges (Magic, Facebook’s M, GoButler); shopping assistants (Operator, Mezi); and e-mail schedulers (X.ai, Clara) have sprung up. The goal for most of these businesses is to require as few humans as possible. People are expensive. They don’t scale. They need health insurance. But for now, the companies are largely powered by people, clicking behind the curtain and making it look like magic.\nThe incentive to play up automation is high. Human-assisted AI is “the hottest space to be in right now,” said Navid Hadzaad, who founded bot-and-human concierge service GoButler. Startups in this arena have together raised at least $50 million in venture capital funding in the past two years. But companies with a wide variety of strategies all use similar and vague marketing language and don’t often divulge operational details.\nFacebook turned the spotlight on human-assisted AI last summer when it introduced M, a chirpy personal assistant bot that lives in Messenger, its chat app. Unlike Facebook’s all-automated commercial Messenger bots, all of M’s AI-generated responses are reviewed, edited if necessary and sent out by a team of a few dozen contractors, who work out of the social network’s Menlo Park, Calif., campus, the company said. Beyond that, details on M are sparse: Facebook won’t say what hours the contractors work or how often they correct M’s guesses.\nClara, which offers an e-mail scheduling service similar to X.ai’s, uses contractors to review some e-mails. Maran Nelson, the chief executive officer, said most of the workers are women but won’t say how many there are, where they work, or what percentage of e-mails are looked at by a person.\n“That’s a common frustration among anybody in this category—how opaque it is,” said Nelson. “It was similarly frustrating when Clara was three months old to have a lot of investors congratulate us on having a fully automated bot.”\nIt’s often a messy process to mimic a computer’s superhuman abilities. At X.ai, Calvin said there were some days in early 2015 when trainers started annotating e-mails at 7 a.m. and had to stay until 9:30 p.m., because the service was supposed to be close to 24/7, and they couldn’t leave until the queue of e-mails was done for the night. “I left feeling totally numb and absent of any sort of emotion,” Calvin said. The company wouldn't comment on the schedules of its current 21 AI trainers, but Bergfield said: “We would never tell people that they need to work those hours.”\nThe same pace played out at GoButler, a we’ll-do-anything SMS-based concierge service in New York City. Customers would text in requests for such things as takeout meals and last-minute gifts, and employees like Lucy Pichardo would see the request come in through an interface powered by customer-service dashboard Zendesk. She would then turn around and place the order online through another service, such as Postmates or Seamless.\nGoButler’s website said the service uses human-assisted AI to fulfill customer requests 24/7, and Pichardo said customers constantly asked her if she was a robot. But she and another former employee, Alex Gioiella, said the only automated part of the service they saw was the occasional marketing text message. That meant humans had to be on duty at all times.\nGoButler’s workers, who were called Heroes, worked shifts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 4 p.m. to midnight and for one week a month switched to the midnight to 8 a.m. shift, swapping places at shared desks in the company’s New York City office with those leaving from the previous shift. They were required to eat lunch at their desks and, last December, attended the office holiday party in 30-minute shifts so as not to have too many people away from their computers at once, Pichardo said. A spokeswoman said the company’s leadership team also took turns working Hero shifts during the holiday party.\n\"People felt a bit overworked and underappreciated,” said Gioiella, a former senior operations associate—also known as a Superhero. Heroes usually handled up to five requests at once, but when volume spiked, they might be juggling twice that. Gioiella said she tried to stall certain orders to gain a little extra time for her workers to get through the workload. One former Hero said they saw occasional requests—such as one for an antique human skull—that got them excited about solving a weird challenge. But usually, the Hero said, the requests were for pizza or Chipotle delivery.\nSome people might find it unnerving to message a bot only to realize it’s a human. And the blur between man and machine can prompt unusual exchanges. One former trainer at X.ai, who is not authorized to talk about proprietary job details, estimated that people e-mailed Amy asking for sexual favors seven to 10 times a month. Other users would blame their own scheduling mistakes on Amy.\nAfter a while, the X.ai trainers said they came to think of Amy almost as a real person. The team referred to her as a child because the service often made simple mistakes but, over time, would noticeably learn and improve, the trainer said. They wanted to protect her from bad data.\nThe two scheduling e-mail bot companies have divergent plans for expansion. Clara, which is slowly letting people off its waitlist and said it currently serves hundreds of companies, charges $199 per month per user. X.ai, on the other hand, plans to move from limited beta to a public release later this year and wants to charge about $9 per month. Dennis Mortensen, its founder, wrote in an e-mail that “only a machine-powered agent can take on the 10 billion formal meetings that U.S. knowledge workers schedule every year.” Mortensen said the service will start asking e-mail senders to clarify when the computer can’t interpret an message—“Did you mean Monday, April 4?”—instead of having an employee read it and infer. “We want to give the job away for free, or for $9, which you can only do if it’s software,” he said.\nNelson, Clara’s CEO, said she’d rather build a service that's more expensive and involves humans if that's what it takes to handle the task of scheduling reliably. Other services are looking to move away from humans. At GoButler, the transition was abrupt. In February, GoButler gave its 25 Heroes pink slips. The company said it would be fully automated, concentrating first on flight bookings. Gioiella, the former operations manager, said she was often told that the company was running out of money and said she thought GoButler simply couldn’t afford to keep paying its staff. Spokeswoman Bianca McLaren said the company wasn’t in financial trouble but said that “our margins are a lot better now because we don’t have as many staff members.”\nThe specter of job loss hangs over much of the debate about artificial intelligence. But at least for some of these workers, training a robot replacement was never attractive for the long term. X.ai said four or five of its current 64 employees started as trainers and moved up, but Calvin said the stepping stone wasn’t worth it to him. “The work just ended up being way too taxing without a tangible payoff in sight,” he said. Or, as another former X.ai trainer put it, he wasn’t worried about his job being replaced by a bot. It was so boring he was actually looking forward to not having to do it anymore.\ntrends artificial intelligence", "source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl", "language": "en", "token_count": 2221, "token_count_with_eod": 2222, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_common_crawl"}

{"text": "With so many RVers going to the big campout in the desert at Quartzsite, Arizona, I thought I’d share a story from the January-February 2007 issue of the Gypsy Journal about an interesting day trip you can take from there.\n\nA few miles north of Blythe, California, off U.S. Highway 95, we discovered a series of mysterious images of humans, animals, and geometric designs scraped into the earth’s surface. Known as the Blythe Intaglios, the figures are believed to be between 450 and 2,000 years old.\n\nThe site consists of a group of three large human and animal forms made by scraping the top layer of desert cover away, exposing the lighter layer underneath. The largest figure is an image of a woman, over 170 feet long. There are also images of a snake and a four legged animal. Archaeologists are not sure how old the geoglyphs are, because dating techniques have not been developed to determine the age of such ancient artwork. Some archeologists believe this is a horse, in which case the intaglios would date to after 1540, when the Spanish brought horses to North America. Other scientists think it is a mountain lion, which could date the site to as much as 2,000 years ago.\n\nThe Mohave Indians who live along the nearby lower Colorado River believe the human figures represent Mastamho, the creator of all life. The animal figures represent Hatakulya, a cross between a mountain lion and human, who helped in the creation. Indians held sacred ceremonial dances in the area in ancient times to honor the creation.\n\nFound only in a few places on Earth, giant figures and symbols such as these have been discovered in northern Mexico, Peru, and in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts of California and Arizona. Hundreds of intaglios have been found so far. Many are located on private land. The locations of known intaglios on public lands often remain a secret to protect them from vandalism. There is no list available to the public that shows all of the known intaglio sites and their locations, but some estimates claim as many as 600 intaglios can be found in this region. The Blythe Intaglios are the best known and most accessible of this rare, prehistoric art form. A few other intaglios can be found in and around Quartzsite, Arizona, about 35 miles southeast of the Blythe site.\n\nOver time, some intaglios have suffered destruction and vandalism by motorcycles and ATVs, and during World War II, military training exercises damaged or destroyed several other intaglio sites elsewhere in the region. Considered important cultural treasures, the intaglios recently joined other protected sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Today fences surround the Blythe Intaglios to protect them from further damage.\n\nThe Blythe Intaglios were discovered in 1931, when local airplane pilot George Palmer discovered the huge figures stretched across the desert floor on the terraces overlooking the Colorado River about fifteen miles north of Blythe. Here are two Google Earth images of the figures.\n\nThe figures include a 105.6 foot long human, oriented north-south, with its head pointing toward the south. Its arms are outstretched and its feet point outward. The torso combined with its arm span measures 91.8 feet wide. The figure has visible knees and elbows. Some believe this is a figure of the Creator. It is one of the least disturbed images of the group.\n\nAnother human figure is also oriented north-south, with its head pointing south. Its arms are outstretched and the feet point outward. This figure is believed to be of a male, since it was created with a visible phallus between its legs. The figure measures 102 feet from head to toe, and its arms span a distance of 64.9 feet. The left leg is pronouncedly flexed. The figure lacks defined knees, but does have clearly defined elbows. There are no visible fingers or toes. Original aerial photographs revealed a circular path that measured 131 feet in diameter, enclosing the upper half of the figure and crossing the middle of its legs. Today, all that remains of the circular path is the section enclosed by the protective fence.\n\nThe animal figure that represents either a horse or mountain lion is oriented northwest to southwest, with the head pointing toward the northwest. It measures 54.1 feet from head to tail, and the body is 7.5 feet wide. The legs measure 26.2 feet long, and at the end of each leg a small circle represents a paw or hoof. Below the animal figure is an elaborate spiral figure measuring 23 feet in length and 8.8 feet wide. One interpretation is that the figure represents a coiled snake. Native American stories from the region tell of Hatakulya, a mountain lion that transformed itself into a human to help the Creator.\n\nNo one can say for sure who created these mysterious images or how they did so from a ground-level viewpoint. Speculation for their purpose has ranged from this being an ancient ceremonial site to visitations from outer space. The tantalizing mystery of their origins remains unraveled, and the figures continue to cause speculation.\n\nTo create the huge figures, the ancient people scraped away the desert surface, called pavement, to expose the lighter earth below. They outlined the symbols by heaping rocks pulled away from the center around the outside edges, creating sunken designs.\n\nNearby, an ancient footpath from the desert’s interior to the Pacific Coast indicates an active trade route. Rock cairns at the site arose as passing runners placed stones near the enormous figures.\n\nThe Blythe Intaglios are excellent examples of this ancient form of desert art. A sign on U.S. Highway 95 points to the turnoff from the main highway, and a short half mile drive up a gravel road leads to the fenced in intaglios. We drove up the road in a Ford sedan, so any vehicle should be capable of managing the trip. A couple of small parking areas mark the start of two short hiking trails to the intaglios. While the images are not wheelchair accessible, anybody in reasonable physical condition should be able to handle the brief walks to the fenced in images. Access to the third site is more difficult, requiring a half mile hike, part of it up a 10% grade. The paths are unimproved natural gravel.\n\nThe view from the ground is limited by the sheer size of the images, and they are best viewed from the air. Signs at the site include aerial views of the images.\n\nNo fees or permits are required to visit the Blythe Intaglios, and they are open to the public 24 hours per day, all year long. When you visit, please keep all vehicles on designated roadways and help preserve these cultural resources for future generations to appreciate.\n\nToday is your last chance to enter our latest Free Drawing.

This is a special time when we acknowledge and celebrate all the blessings we have at St. Joseph/St. Robert School. This includes our terrific students, excellent principal, talented faculty, hardworking administration and staff, and generous volunteers. Our School is a true community where we are, “Focused on Faith and Learning.” Our Mission Statement reads: St. Joseph/St. Robert School (SJR), with Jesus as our foundation and inspiration, prepares students to live fully His message of love, courage, and compassion. Our philosophy of academic rigor and relevance prepares our students to be contributing members of the Church and the global community. All are invited to check out the good things happening at our school by coming to our Open House, next week (Sunday, Jan 28th) from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or Wednesday, January 31st from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.\n\nThere has been some confusion over our school. Yes we still have a school. No it has not closed. Here is a brief history of the school taken from its website:\n\nSt. Joseph/St. Robert School is located in Warrington, Pennsylvania. Our school was founded on the grounds of St. Joseph Parish in Warrington in 1925 and staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Originally called St. Joseph School, an additional building was added to the school campus on Valley Road in 1961. St. Robert Bellarmine Parish was formed from St. Joseph Parish on May 31, 1968. As St. Robert Bellarmine Parish grew, St. Joseph School became consolidated as St. Joseph/ St. Robert School. In September 1999, the Parish Religious Education Building was added to the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish complex and housed the students in grades 5-8 in what was known as the Annex Building. The children in Kindergarten through grade 4 remained at the Valley Road site. In September 2008, the school was completely incorporated on the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish Campus.\n\nNow would be a good time to remind everyone that you can help us in our efforts to provide a quality Catholic Education by buying and using our Scrip. Scrip is actually a “gift card” that you can purchase after the weekend Masses or at the SJR school office. The cards can be used at local grocery stores, restaurants, and other area stores. You get the full value of your purchase price and in addition for most of the stores you receive a $2.00 tuition voucher for every $50.00 purchased. Those vouchers can then be used to help pay tuition, or if you do not have a child in Catholic school, they can be donated back to a needy family who uses our school. And as always, we are in need of scrip sellers after all the weekend Masses. If you can assist with this, please contact the rectory and we will get you on the schedule.\n\nAbout Our Church\n\nOur parish was founded in 1922 in what was then a rural area straddling Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Initially parishioners struggled to get a church started but gradually the parish grew as the exodus to the suburbs got underway. We are a Parish of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia PA.", "source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail", "language": "en", "token_count": 736, "token_count_with_eod": 737, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_pile_reference_tail"}

I believe the right oil is GOOD for all skin – even oily skin!", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
{"text": "The Overwatch World Cup is returning once again this year to see who is the best of the best in Blizzard's colorful arena shooter game -- and fans are getting more and more excited every day.\nBlizzard announced its first World Cup in 2016, and pro players from across the globe came together at last year's BlizzCon to compete against one another. In this inaugural tournament, each national team fought hard to take the championship title, but South Korea walked away with the victory.\nThis year, with new players and teams in the pro circuit, it can be anyone's game.\nWe're just getting into the beginning stages of the World Cup, which will culminate at BlizzCon later this year. So there isn't too much information onthe big event yet -- but here's the breakdown on how this year's race for the World Cup is going to take off.\nFrom March through April, players from around the world will test each other in competitive mode on Overwatch. As players continue to play, Blizzard keeps record of top 100 players’ skills online, and uses those scores to average each country’s rank. By the end of April, the first 32 high-ranked countries will be qualified to compete for the World Cup.\nAfter the 32 countries are chosen, each country needs to form an Overwatch World Cup National Committee, which consists of three people in charge of roster picks during the competition matches and the finals. Blizzard asks for 10 expert nominees from each country, and qualified players then vote for whoever they want to choose the roster.\nDuring the summer, eight global teams will go head-to-head at lives event throughout the whole week. But this year, the live stages are not just set in California. Four different live stages will happen across Europe, North America, and Asia. Only the two last standing teams will be moving on to the Overwatch World Cup Finals, which will take place in during BlizzCon 2017 on November 3-4 in Anaheim, California.\nWhat Can Overwatch Fans Do to Support the World Cup?\nRegardless of their skill level, fans can participate through Competitive Play. Playing competitive mode can boost a player’s national ranking every time they win a battle. Fans can also support their country by watching scheduled matches online or buying a ticket to see the event.\nFor more info about the national ranks and where to watch their events, check out the official Ovewatch World Cup website.\nGet in there heroes, and play Overwatch!", "source": "cpt_redpajama_c4", "language": "en", "token_count": 514, "token_count_with_eod": 515, "validation_channel": "knowledge_reference", "validation_source": "cpt_redpajama_c4"}
