The Emmy Nominees: What's On Their Minds?
Receive the latest popcornbiz updates in your inbox
In preparation for Sunday’s 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, PopcornBiz spent time picking the brains of several major nominees in the acting categories to discover what’s been on their minds – and we found a lot more there than just what they’ll be wearing on the big day.
From how they feel about their characters and what clicked for them this season to what their nomination means to them and how they knew they were being called to the performing life, these nominees offer a glimpse inside the thoughts of actors at the top of their craft.
And the 2012 Emmy Nominees Are...
Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
Nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Emmy Fashion Winners & Losers of the Past
On the fall and rise of Don Draper:
“As dark and deep as it went this season, there were a lot more colors to explore. This season was really more about this guy breaking down in many ways, and that was exciting to get the chance to show. We get to see this guy seemingly have everything under control, while we as the viewer and certainly me as the character know that underneath it all it's all kind of falling apart. Then, of course, it really DID fall apart. It was nice that the season ended on a little bit of a seeming uptick for the guy and a little bit of redemption came for him. But we'll see: Our show has constantly trafficked in the idea that you never really know what's coming next, just like life.”

On choosing the actor’s path:
“I kept getting drawn back into the theater or acting, getting up in front of people and making a fool of myself. I just kept doing it and people kept saying, 'Hey, you're pretty good at this. Maybe you should keep trying.' There kept being enough positive reinforcement and this is an industry where there's plenty of negative reinforcement to say, 'Oh, maybe I should try for this and maybe this will be something that I can do.' Ten years later I became kind of an overnight sensation.”
Amy Poehler, “Parks & Recreation”
Nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
On being Leslie Knope:
“There's so much about Leslie that I really love: her ability to jump in and to swing big and think big, her ability to rally the troops, her ability to still kind of believe that one person can make a difference. She finds cynicism to be a waste of time. It's really fun to play a person who isn't an eye-roller or the naysayer. That being said, what's so fun about playing Leslie is that there's nothing smooth about her. She's not really cool and therefore she kind of overreaches. She kind of misplays things. She's always trying to find a balance between her enthusiasm and the reality of the situation. It's also just fun to be the lead weirdo among a bunch of weirdos in a small town."
On her previous awards show experiences:
“I have to be honest: I don't love getting dressed up and I'm not very photogenic, so I don't love that part of it. I'm always kind of starving and nervous, which I guess would probably a good way that you should navigate Hollywood in general – just nervous and starving. It's going to be the name of my book. So the actual event is super-cool to be invited to, but I always kind of can't wait until after when the awards are done and I can force S. Epatha Merkerson into a corner and ask her about Jerry Orbach.”
Chris Colfer, “Glee”
Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
On being Kurt Hummel:
“I just love Kurt. He's so strong and he lives in an environment where everyday he's told he shouldn't be and can't be who he is and what he is, but he's true to himself. I sometimes get very inspired by Kurt because of his strength and his drive. I feel like if I went out and did or said something stupid I feel like it'd take away credit from Kurt. So I think the best thing that I can do is make sure that I handle everything with respect and make sure that Kurt is being respected and treated fairly on the show, which the writers do for me. I never have to worry about that.”
On how acting changed his life:
“It's absolutely ludicrous to think about the contrast of who and where I was three years ago and who and where I am now. It's one of those situations where when I think about, 'What would've happened if I didn't go to the ‘Glee’ audition? What would've happened if one executive said no, they weren't going to write me into the show?' It's insane. It's crazy. I try to think that something bigger than myself is what caused it to happen, because things like that don't happen every day.”
Connie Britton, “Friday Night Lights”
Nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama Series
On being Tami Taylor:
“Tami's really kind of just someone that you want to get behind. I think that audiences found her very relatable and very representative of things that they cared about. I just have so many women who come up to me and say, 'Tami makes me want to be a better mother' – or a better wife, or a better college counselor or whatever. And I think that because of the accessibility of the character, the authenticity of the character and just the genuine struggles that we got to see her go through, people really responded to that and appreciated it. Audiences felt really spoke to them in a personal way.”
On her road to becoming an actor:
“In high school I knew acting was what I would love to do if I could do anything, but I didn't actually think that was a reality. I went to college, did a play my freshman year, didn't have the greatest experience, and thought ‘Okay, that's it. That was a fun thing in high school, and now I'm going to let that go.' I spent the first year studying Chinese, went to China and had this great experience, and then I came back to school and I just happened to wander down the place where they had postings for different productions that were casting, and I was like, 'Maybe I'll just audition for that,’ and I got the lead role. And once I was back in it, I continued to do theater throughout college. It's such a long shot, especially when you're a girl who grows up in a small town in Virginia – the idea of actually being able to be successful at this is such a huge idea that I needed a few sort of nudges along the way in order to really feel like I could actually take it seriously and pursue it.”
Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series
On being Dexter Morgan:
“That's something that I probably won't be able to answer until I'm done playing it, to be honest, but I think it was a real trick from the beginning to play someone who claims that he's incapable of authenticity when as an actor you're preoccupied for conveying something that seems authentic. It's like you almost can't think about it too hard.”
On his acting future:
“I don't know that I have another five plus years commitment to a character in me. So I think I'm looking just to move forward with stories that compel me, the character. It doesn't really matter the size. It's more about the story and their function in it, and yeah, I'm certainly looking to mix it up. It took the last hiatus to catch my breath a little bit, but I look forward to getting some other balls rolling.”
Kelly MacDonald, “Boardwalk Empire”
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
On discovering who Margaret Schroeder was:
“I didn't know too much about Margaret at first. She was a bit of an enigma. I feel hugely sort of privileged, because she's not like a one-note character, not in any way, and I think it was Martin Scorsese who said the great thing about television is that it's what happens after the movie finishes with the characters and things. So I've never had such an opportunity before to play such dramatic scenes week after week, like I get. Every episode I have some really amazing scenes to perform with some really amazing actors, and I'm really enjoying it.”
On her path into acting:
“In retrospect I can see that it's where I've always been headed, acting. I went to drama school because that's all I did in my childhood: recreating scenes from my favorite films – but completely privately, on my own. I was always playing around with voices and acting.”
Johnny Galecki, “The Big Bang Theory”
Nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
On being Leonard Hofstadter:
“There's always a hundred different ways to play things for him, because he's reaching outside of this world that they have. So it can be contentment, it can be great frustration, it can be annoyance and exasperation. The road is pretty broad in the choices that you can make with that character and the romantic relationships, be it with Penny or Priya. Those are the things that first attracted me to the role, because generally, beforehand, those weren't storylines that I got to mine. It was very much uncharted territory. Initially, Chuck Lorre talked to me about the Sheldon role, and I said, 'I think I like this Leonard thing.' Even if it was just flirtation, at the time it wasn't something that I'd gotten the chance to play.”
On adding “Emmy nominee” to his resume:
“It’s a complete and utter shock. Martin Mull said once ‘My head explode if the termites weren't holding hands.’ I don't know exactly what that means or what it's in reference to, but that's how I've been feeling. I had no idea. I wasn't watching. My phone was out of batteries and it took them a couple of hours to track me down and tell me. It's wonderful.”
Evan Rachel Wood, “Mildred Pierce”
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie
On earning an Emmy nomination after growing up on TV:
“It's kind of a milestone. I have been working in TV most of my life, and so I feel like I've grown up. I was really excited because I did work really, really hard, and so it's great. I was so happy for the film. It just killed in the nominations and I was really happy for Todd Haynes because he's so incredible. I don't know how he did this and kept it together so well.”
On her path to becoming an actor:
“I think I knew when I was about eight or nine. It was my first role where I was carrying the film and I was in every single scene, and I was like, 'Man, I have to do this everyday and work all day. There's no time to play. This is so hard!’ But I was still having so much fun. I got really into it, and I was such a hyper kid that I felt like I could really channel energy into something cool. I think that's when I knew that this was a job, but that it was still extremely fulfilling.”
Walton Goggins, “Justified”
Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
On being Boyd Crowder:
“It's somebody that I connected to immediately, and someone that I had a hand in kind of architecting. And I just quite enjoy his intellect – he's a poet. He really is a poet, and everything that he looks at is seen through worldview and that prism. And I just can't wait to get back to work. I can't wait to say these words that come out of his mouth. Honestly, I can't wait to be cool again. Because I'm so uncool.”
On becoming an Emmy nominee:
“It's just been like every single day I kind of wake up and pinch myself. And I'm just so grateful to be able to kind of share it with this cast of actors that I've gotten to play with for a couple of, at least Tim, for a couple of years now. And one of my best friends Johnny Galecki is nominated as well, so we're just having the best time.”
Alan Cumming, "The Good Wife"
Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
On being Eli Gold:
“He's a very confident, very manipulative person who at the same time has a lot of kind of foibles. It's a very rich mixture of things and that's what I think all great characters are – I'm still finding out the foible things as well. The thing that I really enjoy about the show is the thing that I really hated to start with, which was that normally I'd done films and you know where the story is going to end. So each scene you kind of know where it fits in to your idea of what you want to show in each moment. But in a television series you don't know what's going to happen next.”
On almost missing out on that Emmy nominated role:
“I put the word out that I'd quite like to do a TV show and one in New York. I craved routine in my life. And then this came along and my agents and managers said, 'Do this one.’ It was their decision really – I would've turned it down if it had been my choice, just because of the logistics at the time, not because of the material. I didn't really understand it and felt like it wasn't really me. So it's been an amazing thing to suddenly be like, 'Wow, I really, really like it.’ I'm forever grateful to them. It's opened up a whole new thing for me actually. I think it's been interesting to see people look at me in a different way as an actor. It has been palpable that people are like, 'Oh, he can play real people in suits.'”
Margo Martindale, “Justified”
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
On becoming an Emmy nominee:
"I did 'Justified' out of the pure joy of acting. So it never came to my mind that there would be a reward for it. It felt like acting when I was a little child. So it's sort of like just playing in the backyard, really. The thing that I find with this show that's been interesting is that the ease in my acting has gotten that much better. That sounds obnoxious, but because of age and experience I have great ease. I think that makes it more fun. It's not battle.”
On recognition after a lengthy career as a “working actress”:
“I was always respected by my peers, always. Casting directors have been my biggest boosters, always, and then actors who I've worked with. They've always recommended me. Paul Newman and Robert Benton, and Sidney Lumet was a real champion of mine. There have been many, many people who have been kind and wonderful and supportive of me. Even from college on, I've always believed in myself, tremendously. Even through the lean times I never questioned my talent.” | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'd44ca48b4a34483699fdf3c280e1a573bf64374ca47f3e3ab7545c0c8ad45433'} |

This article first appeared in Asian Global Impact in the column “Asian Verbal Impact”
Every morning at around 11 I pay silent homage to a ninth century Ethiopian goatherd. On observing the liveliness of his goats after chewing the berries of certain plant, he decided to investigate whether the berries would have a similar effect on him. Kaldi, the pastoralist in question, is probably apocryphal but he serves a useful purpose: the berries were none other than those of the Coffea arabica plant which grows wild in Ethiopia and is thought to have first been cultivated in or around the city of Harar.
The early history of coffee is as murky as a strong espresso, and many alternatives exist to the legend of Kaldi. Reliable references only begin to appear in the 15th century, by which time the Yemeni port of Mocha (now more familiar for having lent its name to a chocolatey latte) served as a focal point in the coffee trade which stretched to Mecca (where it was briefly banned by clerics on account of the political unrest it was thought to fuel), Cairo, Damascus and beyond. The Arabs called the coffee bean al-bunn, which is probably derived from the Amharic (Ethiopian) name for it, buna. As a drink, however, coffee is called qahwah in Arabic, and one theory holds that this word originally referred to wine, another that it denotes the Kaffa region in Ethiopia.
16th Century European references to coffee feature attempts to transliterate the Arabic, such as chaoua and chaube, but the real gateway to coffee in Europe was Constantinople (now Istanbul). The city boasted a vibrant coffee culture which had spread from the Ottoman court, now with a Chief Coffee Maker among its ranks, to the public at large. Legend has it that the world’s first coffee house, Kiva Han, was established in Constantinople, although the date varies wildly between 1475 and 1554 depending on the source. The drink caught on with Venetian merchants who brought it back to Venice where it was sold by lemonade vendors and later in dedicated coffee houses. The Turkish name kahveh became the familiar caffè and, despite earlier initiatives to ban the “Muslim” drink, it now benefitted from a firm papal endorsement.
Perhaps surprisingly one of the earliest coffee houses in Europe was established in Oxford in the 1650’s, decades before more stereotypically caffeinated cities like Paris or Vienna. In the following decades coffee houses sprung up across London where they were called “Penny Universities” on account of their typical entry fee and of the writers, artists and diverse intellectuals that frequented them. They also served as places of commerce, most notably Edward Lloyd’s Coffee House (Est. 1688) which later gave birth to the insurance company Lloyd’s of London. When the word “coffee” was first used in its current form, and whether it comes directly from the Venetian or from the related Dutch word koffie, is a matter of debate.
The Dutch, in any case, were as concerned with the trading of coffee as with its consumption, and were responsible for establishing plantations in its Indonesian colonies (a legacy that you can still taste in a cup of Java or Sulawesi). They later introduced coffee to Scandinavia, the region with the highest per capita consumption worldwide today. A more dramatic introduction was effected in Vienna, where (supposedly) the Ottomans retreating after the Second Siege of 1683 left behind sacks of coffee sparking a craze for the beverage that, famously, still persists in the city. Some decades later, in the 1720’s coffee was introduced to Brazil – supposedly stolen from a plant in French Guiana – and a century or so (and much human traffic) later Brazil had become the world’s biggest coffee producer, a title it still holds. Also high in the ranks are Vietnam, where the French name has been adapted to cà phê, Colombia, thought by some as the source of the world’s best coffee, and, rich with historical resonances, Ethiopia. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9781818985939026}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '31052', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:SF7HLESITTTAZHAKXE4ZKR5TT7BSVKOX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c451605c-18a7-4abb-9c20-92f18ae81d56>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 21, 10, 14, 8), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.13', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OTQMJ47ZJXONPNGF34D2PXKZOGETLN2R', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:dee9f1c7-02a6-4681-b21f-691b9460dab4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://musingsofjonathangalton.wordpress.com/2014/03/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:9fe42af6-a2fd-411b-b3ee-4c155d04f122>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '652', 'url': 'https://musingsofjonathangalton.wordpress.com/2014/03/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-164-45-152.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-34\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03304952383041382', 'original_id': 'd2a6b08d1814bcc1f0f4a0d6445cfe5724af67b83fbc6cea6620a16e62c1f134'} |
Incubation stage and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener patterns in an altricial and precocial bird species.
The composition of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners was compared between non-incubated and embryonated eggs of tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) and little terns (Sterna albifrons) to determine if measurable changes in PCB congeners occurred during the embryonic period. There was no indication of changes in PCB congener patterns over the incubation period in tree swallows in 1999 and 2000 at a site with very high PCB exposure or a site with more modest PCB exposure. Additionally, congeners known to be either quickly metabolized or conserved based on experimental studies did not generally respond as predicted. Similarly, PCB congener patterns in eggs of little terns from Bottsand, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, did not differ between non-incubated and embryonated eggs. The results from both species suggest that the stage of incubation is not an important consideration when evaluating PCB congener patterns; comparisons and assessments can be made with eggs collected at all stages of incubation. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '240b5fbc8a50ba3a5f00275c2231d08b74802b55d598886404b7ed57288f1bae'} |

Kelly Kapowski Unplans A Pregnancy
If I could do it over, I would — thing is, I wanted this.
Prom, I mean. That’s what the fluttering told me.
He showed up at my house because I couldn’t afford
a dress. He stood in my living room, halo pinned
to his chest, some kind of teenage savior. Teeth, blushes,
and perfect brows. In the car, I rolled the window
down, let the electric wind blow through my hair.
He put his hand on my knee and I felt the thrill
of pinprick all over my skin. I didn’t have a dress,
so we kissed on a picnic bench outside the school gym.
We could hear the DJ and all his slow jams. We danced
underneath the security lights. A hundred monarchs swept
behind my knees, over my head. Now I wonder, little heartbeat,
if this was all part of the plan. Whether it was his plan or yours.
I thought I was the only girl blessed by the fluttering, the promise
of blue skies and life among clouds of delicate wings soaring
through that electric wind. The gym and its echoing slow dances,
so distant and small. Halos are a tiny glitter from this height.
And now, I see I was covered in moths the whole time. Burdened
with want, a relentless journey for the moon or anything like it.

Survival For Standalone Blogs
This is my responded to Zousuper's discussion on standalone blog's survival(Thanks for danwei's translation). Later Zousuper's blog is blocked by Chinese government, but Zousuper is not render submissive, he set up a new host and blogging again. Here is the post:
The necessary conditions for setting up a blog on a separate domain in China - whether or not it is illegal, whether or not it requires registration - is currently a hotly debated issue. From the look of current policy, it seems that all standalone websites that have interactive information have to be registered.
There are issues of location here. If the server is overseas, then theoretically speaking registration is not necessary, but there is no way to guarantee that the server's IP will be accessible. Rose Luqiu's 1510 Blogs is a typical example. When a large proportion of visitors are from the mainland, then under normal circumstances a mainland server will be chosen. This is when we arrive the question of the blog's legality.
Here I'll summarize the steps and conditions for legally setting up a blog on a standalone domain; this should be basically the same in all major cities across the country.
Website registration is not a simple question. MII registration is just a basic registration, suitable for non-forum websites that do not have interactive information. If you think that MII registration will solve everything, then you are very wrong. Of course, you could close the comments section to your blog and voluntarily choose not to disseminate "harmful information"; in that case the MII registration would be enough. If your website allows leaving messages and exchanging information, and its traffic is low, you may be able to simply get by. In general, for normal small websites, MII registration is enough.
If your website traffic is relatively large, particularly if it is highly interactive, like a forum or a blog, then you'll face the appearance of so-called "harmful information." Normally, when you discover "harmful information," someone will be tasked with notifying the webmaster to delete it; it becomes a problem when it occurs frequently.
Strictly speaking, individuals are not permitted to provide BBS services on the Internet (interactive online services in which users provide information for release, including message boards, electronic whiteboards, e-forums, online chat services, and guestbooks) without formally registering or passing review by state communication administrators. To providing interactive forum and guestbook services, you must set up "technological measures for network security," in addition to registering with the PSB's Internet Supervision Center. This means a system for review, control, and deletion of information, as well as associated "computer security personnel."
Usually, registering with the PSB Internet Supervision Center is pretty complicated and drawn-out. The registration is vastly different from MII's: it is very strict. If your website supports BBS, forums, guestbook, or chat services, then you must provide the following materials:
1. A copy of the computer security personnel certificate;
2. Registered Internet user network security form;
3. Providers of Internet services for news, publishing, education, health, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment must be approved by the appropriate government agencies in accordance with laws and regulations, and must present the government approval documents at the time of registration.
The computer security personnel certificate is typically obtained by paying 660 yuan to be trained and tested. That means that if you want to write a blog, you must first pass the "security worker" exam. The registration form basically requires writing out your name, ID#, home address, mobile phone number, and place of work, so that if there are any problems you can be arrested on the spot. If you do not provide this information, then your registration may not pass.
After you've registered, you then face the work of looking out for and cleaning up "harmful information" - this is the responsibility of the "computer security personnel." Because the appearance of "harmful information" on a forum or blog is ultimately the responsibility of the webmaster, the PSB will carry out punishment against the webmaster according to the volume of "harmful information" that is circulated. Here you'll run into the issue of standards for punishment. Current punishment standards takes into account the number of registered users, the quantity of circulating information, the hit count, and illegal revenue; so long as one area exceeds the standard then you're determined to be in "extremely serious circumstances." An article clicked by one person is completely different from the same article clicked by 10,000 people; are you able to guarantee 24-hour review for your personal blog or forum? If you cannot, then hiding your webpage counters and your pageview numbers may cut down on some unwanted trouble. At the same time, you should keep your website income a secret; there is nothing good and a whole lot bad about making your website's income public. Under normal circumstances, this is a standard for determining punishment. The greater your website's income, the more serious the problem, and the worse off you will be.
Hence, if you have a forum or a guestbook system, you've got a hidden time bomb. "Harmful information" will cause a lot of trouble for the webmaster when it surfaces. So if you have a forum, it's best to put it on a separate domain name and move it to an overseas server unless you can guarantee you'll be online 24 hours a day to prevent every single bit of "harmful information" from being published. Otherwise you're giving them an angle to get you.. So high-risk systems like forums should be moved out. The same goes for guestbooks and comments to blog posts. If you cannot cut off comment functions, then you must implement keyword filters to turn every sensitive word into ××. Doing this will save you a bit of unnecessary trouble.
In short, there is currently no clear idea about the system for registering blogs, but for most blogs that have a fair number of comments and discussion, it's no good to simply register with MII; you have to go to the local PSB's website to register for it to have any effect. And you must maintain a good relationship with the local PSB. Whatever they want, you give it to them; don't antagonize them, and don't dispute matters of theory with them. Don't say anything when it's not your turn - it won't work, anyway.
Sources:William Long: The way for standalone blogs to survive (Chinese)
1. I guess im not the first one to arrive.
2. William, This story is so long that I quited reading halfway. I read your Chinese piece about standalone blog. Basically, if you want to keep your blog run smoothly, and free from Chinese BSP's clout, you MUST to pick up your own blogging platform. If Chinese blogosphere is an ecosystem, the trick for some living organism to be the fittest of survival is just to shut up mouth and play by the rule.
3. we cannot use wujie again. do u have good idea?
4. I couldn't understand some parts of this article l for standalone blogs - Moonlight Blog, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
5. [...] has already been effectively disarticulated, but at the same time, more and more websites that the Chinese blogger elites Anti mentions use quite heavily are choosing to make use of the secure transaction https feature: [...]
6. hello,everyone.
in fact,they are very hard to me to read,good luck to you.your words is interesting.
7. A good blog!best wishes for you

Human Nature Around Incentives & Rewards… Even in North Korea?
1028111184_d35cc51c6b_zDr. W. Edwards Deming used to warn against replacing intrinsic motivation with extrinsic rewards and incentives.
Brian Joiner (author of Fourth Generation Management), who worked with Deming, warned that setting targets and quotas can lead to three things: improving the system, distorting the system, or distorting the numbers.
It's often easier to distort the system or the numbers than it is to actually improve. We've seen that happen (gaming the numbers) in situations ranging from the VA waiting time scandal and the recent Wells Fargo scandal.
It's predictable human behavior for managers to try to entice people to perform better through promises of rewards or threats of punishment.
It's also predictable human behavior that employees will take steps to distort the system or fudge the numbers when they fear for their jobs or want to collect a bonus.
This isn't a problem with bad employees… it's a problem with leaders not understanding psychology and workplace dynamics.
Hear Mark read this post (subscribe to the podcast):
In more recent years, Daniel Pink has warned about extrinsic rewards, as has Alfie Kohn. You can listen to my podcasts with Pink and with Kohn, if you like.
Many would perhaps attribute the idea of rewards and punishment with a Capitalist mindset. In a Capitalist system, the assumption is that people like money and they will do what you want to get more money. Or, there's the reality that people need to keep a job and their paycheck, so they'll respond to threats.
I recently saw a documentary called “North Korea: The Great Illusion” (available for free through Amazon Prime).
It's also available via YouTube currently:
I don't have any great illusions about North Korea. It's a brutal, authoritarian, Communist dictatorship.
But, what surprised me was a discussion of incentives and rewards for border guards.
Even in a Communist country, the leaders fall back on incentives and rewards.
Two things did stand out to me from the film:
I wonder what dysfunction those targets create in North Korea?
It wouldn't be surprising to me if a North Korean border guard were to start cheating and “catching” people who weren't really escaping.
So as I was thinking about this post, I was at Costco, a decidedly American capitalist place to be. I love Costco… but I'm not buying typically large batch sizes as they're known to offer, though.
In my last visit there, the cashier was ringing up my items and she cheerfully suggested and asked, “Would you like to buy some holiday stamps? You can get 100 of them for a better price than the post office!”
That was actually a very helpful suggestion, as my wife and I are planning to do cards and I hadn't yet purchased stamps yet.
The other day, when I was back to purchase something else, I noticed this large sign at the front service counter:
On the right, it says “Holiday Stamps.”
The “Current Date” says 11/26, but it was 11/28 when I was there and took this photo.
How often do we see outdated visuals and whiteboards in different workplaces, including hospitals?
The “goal” was 57, but they had only sold 28 (or the board hadn't been updated since).
They didn't hit the goal. Was it “unrealistic?” I wonder how much natural variation there is in the shoppers who say “yes” to buying stamps if the cashiers ask every shopper. Are the margins on stamps that great for Costco that they'd push this as opposed to other things the cashier could upsell you on?
I wonder if Carmela (I forget my cashier's name) asks more shoppers than the other cashiers? Does she work more hours? Why is her performance so much higher than the others?
I wonder what prize they're being offered if:
1. The team hits their goal on a day
2. An individual sells the most stamps
When I worked retail during high school and college (at the video game and software store Babbage's), I remember one holiday season when the store manager started a sales incentive contest amongst the part-time salespeople. The goal was selling the most Nintendo systems and Sega systems.
I think the contest was created by the district manager. I don't know what incentives the store manager or district manager were being offered.
I knew it was my job to help sell video game systems. If people asked about them, I tried to give them information and help them pick the “right system” for them. I couldn't do much to make people buy a $200 video game system. It's not like adding on a few stamps to a Costco purchase.
I forget what the incentive or prize was. That's how unimportant it was to me. I remember talking with my co-workers about how it was pretty random to see which salespeople would happen to help the customers who were coming into the store to buy these systems. Were we supposed to fight over customers? Compete with each other?
I don't remember if the goal was “unrealistic.” That would have been demoralizing, I guess. It probably wasn't a goal as much as it was creating competition within a team. We were all paid an hourly rate, with no commission, by the way, and we were fine with that.
We weren't sure what the point of the contest was. Somebody got a gift certificate, I guess.
I don't remember it affecting our motivation for providing customer service.
But, I guess I'll come back to that main point… in a Communist system or a Capitalist system, managers and leaders sure like throwing incentives at people. How often do those being incentivized roll their eyes or not care?
What could we do to lead a successful organization without incentives, targets, and quotas? Dr. Deming would have said, “Substitute leadership.”
Easier said than done? Too vague of a direction from the late Dr. Deming?

Great topic and writing, as Usual Mark.
I guess we have been taught to implement or use extrinsic incentives to motivate people on the long run.
We believe that by setting unrealistic targets and then offering some incentive, will do the trick. We believe that if a worker doesn´t achieve the target, is because he must be lazy or dumb. When in reality all this is showing is how unstable and how much variation our processes and systems exhibit.
Thanks for sharing this. Interesting to see that in US, North Korea and other countries (Mexico where I’m located) leaders have the same beliefs and management practices.

It’s easy to sit in an office and set arbitrary goals… and then blame, punish, or harass people who aren’t hitting them.
As President Eisenhower once said:
“You know, farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.”

A related article about a new book by Dan Ariely:
What companies get wrong about motivating their people
A few years ago, behavioral economist Dan Ariely conducted a study at a semiconductor factory of Intel’s in Israel. Workers were given either a $30 bonus, a pizza voucher or a complimentary text message from the boss at the end of the first workday of the week as an incentive to meet targets. (A separate control group received nothing.) Pizza, interestingly, was the best motivator on the first day, but over the course of a week the compliment had the best overall effect, even better than the cash. “When I get the money, I’m interested, when I’m not getting the money, I’m not so interested,” Ariely said in a recent interview. “Even relatively small bonuses can reframe to people how they think about work.”
Lots of good thoughts there about how a connection to purpose is the most important thing and how big bonuses can backfire.

Some comments on F&R (2)
From: Seaborne, Andy <andy.seaborne@hp.com>

Message-ID: <B6CF1054FDC8B845BF93A6645D19BEA3646C65D2E9@GVW1118EXC.americas.hpqcorp.net>
(I'm not waiting until I have done a complete review but sending things in chunks, hope that is alright.)
Comments relative to v1.70
Will the time-permitting features at least be mentioned? Especially SPARQL/OWL.
They don't need as much justification (IMO) - indeed for this publication, just placeholder structure is enough but something should go in.
Currently it is:
# 4 SPARQL/Update 1.0
* 4.1 Update
# 5 Protocol Enhancements
* 5.1 HTTP graph update
I prefer putting protocol under update to be clear it is in support of update. "Enhancement" suggests tweaks to the query protocol to me but we wish to leave the design space open and avoid prejudging naming issues.
Also, the new protocol is there to support update so make that explicit.
Suggested structure:
4 SPARQL/Update 1.0
* 4.1 Update Language
* 4.2 Protocol Enhancements
5 Service Description
Don't include the Motivations/Description/... subsections in the first TOC to be seen. This is to be more read-focused.
Seeing the complete list of features in the TOC is useful to convey the overall direction which is the point of this doc.
Could have two TOCs: one that is shorter then a full one.
== 1. Introduction
Don't pick out one or two features by name ("why this, and not that") but when there is a complete list in the intro it won't be needed anyway.
Push the "structure of document" text into a subsection.
== 2.1, 2.4.3 and other
Variable names without ? are confusing (and there are parser issues about clashes with keywords).
Please provide a mixture of syntaxes from different implementations for naming select expressions. The doc uses only one syntax but we haven't decided anything yet. Give examples from different systems.
ARQ is "(expression AS ?var)"
For reasons of simple parsing - it is overly restrictive but safe.
== 2.2.2
The example is wrong: correction - need LIMIT.
$query = "SELECT ?name WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
} LIMIT 1";
In the example from ARQ, use a more pure form that is just about subquery not select expressions (ARQ does not put scalar subqueries in select expressions anyway).
Suggestion (includes other fixes):
SELECT ?person ?name
:Alice foaf:knows ?person .
{ SELECT ?name { ?person foaf:name ?name } LIMIT 1 }
"""The type of subqueries has not yet been decided by the WG (see issues below)."""
'type' is tricky word as it means so many things.
"Query form" is SPARQL terminology.
It just drop the sentenance - does not add anything IMO.
== 2.3: Negation
== 2.3.1 Motivations
Rather than drive it from a technical perspective, why not just say "common user request which the WG agrees with". Then examples and existing implementation are simple to the point of not needed. The existing SPARQL form could go as an example (of how not to do it!).
== 2.4.2 Project expressions / Descriptions
Use and example from XQuery/XPath F&O (e.g. fn:substring and strings are zero-based) to indicate we will reuse where possible.
== 2.4.3 Project expressions / Existing implementation
This is also useful in CONSTRUCT:
CONSTRUCT { ?x foaf:name (concat(?fn, " ", ?sn)) . }
WHERE { ?x foaf:firstName ?fn ; foaf:family_name ?sn . }
This is not a project expression!
Just keep the section clean and don't discuss CONSTRUCT. Just need a direct discussion of project expressions.
---- Examples for SPARQL/Update 1.0
From the submission, simplified:
{ <http://example/book3> dc:title "A new book" ;
dc:creator "A.N.Other" .
DELETE { ?book ?p ?v }
{ ?book dc:date ?date .
FILTER ( ?date < "2000-01-01T00:00:00"^^xsd:dateTime )
?book ?p ?v

Selflessness simply means the quality of unselfish concern for the wellness and good of other people. This means that you have a genuine interest in how they are faring and the likes.
Someone who is selfless does not put himself first. Rather, he would be concerned about others before thinking about himself.
If a selfless individual is in a group and there is a project to be undertaken, the individual would contribute his full quota without thinking of any inconvenience. They would act with less concern for themselves and show more interest in the success of the group.
Interestingly, selflessness is a vital key to relationships, friendships, marriages and the likes. It is also a pivotal key to fulfillment and happiness. However, people often overlook this concept because they feel in seeking fulfillment and happiness, selfishness steps in.
We live our lives for a good number of reasons; it could be for selfish reasons like reputation, fame, money, possessions and the likes.
Also, we can live our lives in pursuing justice for others, happiness for people, growth and a whole lot. In fact, we can live our lives basically to handle the problems in this world.
Embracing selflessness is the only way to find long-lasting significance in the world. Without selflessness, it would be difficult to achieve inner peace which we all crave for. For some people, success is defined for them when they have more power over those around them. This is why some individuals would continue to chase power for a very long time.
However, they fail to realize that the power and happiness chased selfishly do not last for long; they fade out with time. The fact is nobody loves to be attracted to selfishness, and that’s why people shy away from those who exhibit that character.
In helping people get back on their feet from addiction and mental health problems, it is important to exhibit selflessness towards them.

Message from the Wolves
Image by Lucy Campbell
Image by Lucy Campbell
Physically, I am far away from the wolves, but they never leave me completely. I feel their thoughts at night in my dreams, and I hear their voices when I move into passion and pursue the desires of my soul.
In my darkest moments, I remember all that I have overcome with their help, and my spirit is lifted as I lean on their strength. In my bright moments, they tell me about the world, myself, and the future. I’m always thrilled when I have a message to share, and I hope you can feel the wolves as you read their words.
Here’s their message.
We are everywhere, and we see much. We appear in many dreams, and we shape the future from your consciousness. It is your awareness of right/wrong, balance/imbalance, and desire for independence that shapes the world.
You may wonder how your consciousness shapes the world. Think of it as one big dream with every sentient being contributing to the overall picture of life. Your dreams, longings, desires, and the pulse of your heart – and our heart and others – contribute to the shaping of the world.
There are factors, which make your dream stronger or weaker such as belief, inner power and strength, the process of visualization, and openness to reception of higher energies. Many higher energies are coming into the sphere of your planet. It is part of the reason that your energy runs high and low, sometimes with periods of exhaustion as the body adjusts to the information.
It’s a huge shift on your planet, which will continue for several years. Nature is making her voice heard, your way of life is changing, and you are beginning to know more about your soul. You are always learning, but the curve is more pronounced—and there are many choices about light and darkness.
Nature is changing herself, and everything in your world is changing. Nature is moving into a higher vibration. When she moves into a higher vibration, all of those who are in alignment must do the same. It is what we referred to earlier as crossing the bridge. If you want to cross the bridge, you must change.
Many of the changes are not yet evident to you. The moon rises high in the sky at different times, the shapes of leaves are subtly changing, the weather patterns are in flux, and the air is different with a slightly higher oxygen level.
Deep down, you dreamed this. You dreamed of a time when nature could reassert her beauty and balance, and you dreamed that you would be part of it. You also dreamed that you would have meaningful work, and, for many of you, this is coming as the old forms of the world fade away and take on a new shape.
Yes, it takes time, but you are moving in this direction.
Tell me more about the forces of light.
You already know about them.
Each of you has felt them—the moments that sparkle with beauty and life and the moments when you wish something that is mundane or small, which takes form immediately. However, humans tend to minimize this. They are not big believers in miracles, but this will change.
Magic is encompassing the world and its weaving is everywhere. The stars are awakening, and the earth is awakening. And you are next if you choose to cross the bridge.
For those of you who are awake, you have glimpsed the feeling or the visuals of the future—and the future you. It always feels strange to go back and forth between 2 realities, yet it is the fabric of spiritual evolution. Soon, you will have more power(s), which will help with life.
There are many changes, which are not yet perceived. Light floods your planet, the energy of the earth is changing radically, and there is a new energy, which is coming into your planet.
Can you explain more?
We will talk about the earth. As you know, the earth has energy meridians, ley lines, power points, and sacred sites. These are points of concentrated energy. Cities are often built on specific ley lines, and sacred ceremonies occur on power points. There are also negative points, but we will talk about the positive ones for the moment.
For several centuries, these are known points. As the earth changes, some of inactive ley lines and geographical points are becoming reactivated. So, you are receiving very different kinds of energy. A good example is your description of the wheel of energies, representing each age of 2,000 years, with spokes that close after the age is in full force and open 2,000 years later for next age.
For those who have moved through spiritual initiations, this is a known truth. A similar event is occurring on the earth in the fabric of physical matter. Obviously, it is a great deal of energy, and it will take time for your spirit and bodies to adjust.
I assume it’s a welcome change.
It is of great benefit because there are hidden energies, which are treasures, in the changing of the earth. The new light lifts them to the surface. When you perceive the shift in the light, it enlightens both the body and soul.
For the past few years, spiritual energy determined the frequency of the earth. The earth’s frequency is now rising, and it’s up to meet and engage with it. This is also part of the reason for changes in land masses, including floods, change in weather patterns, etc. Of course, animals and plants recognized it some time ago.
The change is wonderful for people who want to awaken and live in the light; it’s not so easy for people who don’t’ want to change and/or turn inward. They will feel confused, angry, or depressed by the shift. Having said this, it is wise to determine to focus your perception on the shift. There is much you can perceive intuitively.
All of the ley lines and power points were “open” during the magical times of the earth.
Why is this happening?
You already know, but the knowledge has not become clear. Endings are beginnings, and beginnings are endings. In the first beginning, you aligned your spiritual self with the physicality of the earth. Now, you must do it again to rise out of the lower vibrations of this current “dream” of life.
It is more than a dream. It is a grand opportunity to find your gifts, manifest, and live in peace—and as one with every component of the earth while maintaining connection with the heart and inner self.
It is a metamorphosis, and that’s all to be said at this point.
What can we do with this energy?
Walk, stay outside, and garden. Notice the flowers and trees.
Come back into miracle perception. Life is a miracle when you live in the right way.
Find your faith. Know that there is great light in this physical existence. Know it takes time to come together with a collective vibration. BE in a state of faith, and you will find it.
Believe in yourself and your inner power. WE are with you.

ffiffiffis
p ¼ 13 TeV. Two analyses are presented. The “resolved”
analysis is optimized for hh systems that have sufficiently
low mass to be resolved into four distinct b-jet signatures in
the ATLAS detector. The “boosted” analysis focuses on
higher-mass hh systems that are characterized by higher-
momentum Higgs bosons for which the two b-jets cannot
be resolved due to the high boost. In this situation, large-
radius jets are utilized to capture the by-products of each
Higgs-boson decay and small-radius track jets are used to
identify the presence of b-hadrons. The final results are
obtained using the resolved analysis up to resonance
masses of 1100 GeV, where its expected sensitivity is
higher than that of the boosted analysis, whereas the
boosted analysis is used for masses above 1100 GeV. The discovery of a Higgs boson (h) [1,2] at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) provides an opportunity to search
for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in channels
involving couplings with the Higgs boson. In particular, the
production cross section for Higgs-boson pairs in the SM is
significantly smaller than predicted by a host of models,
making this channel promising for a search for new
phenomena. Examples of such models are the bulk
Randall-Sundrum (RS) model [3,4] with a warped extra
dimension and the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) [5]. In the RS model, spin-2 Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of
the graviton G
KK are produced via gluon fusion with
subsequent decay to the hh final state. Similarly, a heavy
spin-0 scalar, H, in the 2HDM also gives rise to a resonant
hh signature. Enhanced nonresonant hh production is
expected in models with light colored scalars [6] or direct
t¯thh vertices [7,8]. The two analyses generally follow the same approach as
that adopted for the 8 TeV data (see Ref. [9]). The analysis
of the 13 TeV data reported in this paper benefits from an
enhanced sensitivity to high-mass resonances due to the
significant increase in the production cross section in that
kinematic
region. Furthermore,
the
boosted
analysis
includes a channel with only three b-tagged track jets, in
addition to the channel with four b-tagged track jets already
included in the previous analysis. This new channel
improves sensitivity for resonances with mass above
2000 GeV because the b-jet identification efficiency
decreases sharply at high transverse momenta. Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of

(ATLAS Collaboration) A search for Higgs-boson pair production in the b¯bb¯b final state is carried out with 3.2 fb−1 of proton-
proton collision data collected at
ffiffiffis
p ¼ 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector. The data are consistent with the
estimated background and are used to set upper limits on the production cross section of Higgs-boson pairs
times branching ratio to b¯bb¯b for both nonresonant and resonant production. In the case of resonant
production of Kaluza-Klein gravitons within the Randall-Sundrum model, upper limits in the 24 to 91 fb
range are obtained for masses between 600 and 3000 GeV, at the 95% confidence level. The production
cross section times branching ratio for nonresonant Higgs-boson pairs is also constrained to be less than
1.22 pb, at the 95% confidence level. I. INTRODUCTION The boosted
analysis also operates with smaller track-jet radii to account
for the larger boost at 13 TeV. Previous searches for hh production have been per-
formed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations with pp
collisions at
ffiffiffis
p ¼ 8 TeV. The final states include b¯bb¯b
[9,10], b¯bτþτ−[11,12], b¯bγγ [13,14], and γγWW [11]. A
combination of these different channels has been performed
by ATLAS [11], which shows that for resonance masses
above 500 GeV the sensitivity is highest in the b¯bb¯b
channel. The dominant h →b¯b decay mode is exploited in this
paper to search for both resonant and nonresonant *Full author list given at the end of the article. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.94.052002 *Full author list given at the end of the article.

pose particle detector with a forward-backward symmetric
cylindrical geometry and a near 4π coverage in solid 052002-1 © 2016 CERN, for the ATLAS Collaboration 2470-0010=2016=94(5)=052002(29) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) M. AABOUD et al. angle.1 It consists of an inner tracking detector surrounded
by a thin superconducting solenoid providing a 2 T axial
magnetic field, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters,
and a muon spectrometer. The inner tracking detector (ID)
covers the pseudorapidity range jηj < 2.5. It consists of
silicon pixel, silicon microstrip, and transition radiation
tracking (TRT) detectors. A new innermost pixel layer [16]
inserted at a mean radius of 3.3 cm is used for the first time
in the 2015 data taking. Lead/liquid-argon (LAr) sampling
calorimeters provide electromagnetic (EM) energy mea-
surements. A steel/scintillator-tile hadronic calorimeter
covers the central pseudorapidity range (jηj < 1.7). The
endcap and forward regions are instrumented with LAr
calorimeters for both the EM and hadronic energy mea-
surements up to jηj ¼ 4.9. The muon spectrometer (MS)
surrounds the calorimeters and includes three large super-
conducting air-core toroids. The field integral of the toroids
ranges between 2.0 and 6.0 T m for most of the detector. The MS includes a system of fast detectors for triggering
and precision tracking chambers. A dedicated trigger
system is used to select events. The first-level trigger is
implemented in hardware and uses the calorimeter and
muon detectors to reduce the accepted rate to 100 kHz. This
is followed by a software-based high-level trigger (HLT)
that reduces the accepted event rate to 1 kHz on average. the above triggers has an efficiency rising from 95% to 99%
for selecting b¯bb¯b signal events passing the full analysis
selection as the resonance mass increases. Simulated Monte Carlo (MC) event samples are used to
model signal production and the background from t¯t and
Z þ jets events. A method based on data is used to model
the dominant multijet backgound. Signal G
KK events are
generated at leading order (LO) with MG5_AMC@NLO
v2.2.2 [19] using the NNPDF2.3 LO parton distribution
function (PDF) set [20], and PYTHIA 8.186 [21] to model
the parton shower and hadronization process using the A14
set of tuned underlying-event parameters [22]. The Higgs-
boson mass is set to 125.0 GeV. II. THE ATLAS DETECTOR Values of the signal cross
section times branching ratio for G
KK →hh →b¯bb¯b with
the coupling constant k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 are 11.2 fb and 0.185 fb
for G
KK masses of 1000 GeV and 2000 GeV, respectively. The parameter k corresponds to the curvature of the warped
extra dimension and the effective four-dimensional Planck
scale
¯MPl ¼ 2.4 × 1018 GeV. Signal samples are also
generated with k= ¯MPl ¼ 2 to study broader resonances. Both the cross section and natural width depend on
ðk= ¯MPlÞ2. Generation of the heavy H scalar in a simplified
model with a fixed narrow width ΓH ¼ 1 GeV is performed
with MG5_AMC@NLO and the CT10 PDF set [23]. With
this ΓH choice, the width of the reconstructed hh resonance
is dominated by the experimental resolution. For this
model, parton showering and hadronization are handled
by HERWIG++ [24] with the CTEQ6L1 PDF set [25] and
the UEEE5 underlying-event tune [26]. The scalar inter-
pretation for this search only makes use of the acceptance
times efficiency from this model and no interpretation in
terms of 2HDM parameters is presented. Nonresonant SM
pp →hh →b¯bb¯b events are generated via the gluon-
fusion process with MG5_AMC@NLO using form factors
for the top-quark loop from HPAIR [27,28]. The cross
section times branching ratio to the b¯bb¯b final state,
evaluated at next-to-next-to-leading order with the summa-
tion of logarithms at next-to-next-leading-logarithm accu-
racy, is 11.3þ0.9
−1.0 fb [29]. The uncertainty includes the
effects due to renormalization and factorization scales,
PDF set, αS, effects of finite top-quark mass in loops,
and the h →b¯b branching ratio. III. DATA AND SIMULATION SAMPLES The data sample used in this analysis was collected
during
the
2015
LHC
run
with
pp
collisions
at
ffiffiffis
p ¼ 13 TeV. After requiring that the data be collected
during stable beam conditions and that relevant detector
systems be functional, the total integrated luminosity is
estimated to be 3.2 fb−1 with an uncertainty of 5.0% derived
following the methodology detailed in Ref. [17]. In the
resolved analysis, events are selected by a combination of
three triggers requiring either one or two jets selected by a
dedicated HLT b-tagging algorithm [18]. These triggers
require either one b-tagged jet with transverse momentum
pT > 225 GeV, two b-tagged jets with pT > 55 GeV and
an additional jet with pT > 100 GeV, or four jets with
pT > 35 GeV, two of which are b-tagged. A trigger
requiring a single jet of radius 1.0 and pT > 360 GeV is
used to select events in the boosted analysis. The pT
thresholds for these single- or multiple-jet triggers are lower
at the first level of the trigger system. The combination of all Generation of t¯t events is performed with POWHEG-BOX
v1 using the CT10 PDF set. The parton shower, hadroni-
zation, and the underlying event are simulated using
PYTHIA 6.428 [30] with the CTEQ6L1 PDF set and the
corresponding Perugia 2012 tune [31]. The top-quark mass
is set to 172.5 GeV. Higher-order corrections to t¯t cross
sections are computed with Top++ 2.0 [32]. These incor-
porate NNLO corrections in QCD, including resummation
of next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic soft gluon terms. The overall t¯t normalization is extracted from the data
while the shape of kinematic distributions is taken from 052002-2 PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … MC simulation. The Z þ jets sample is generated using

the b-hadron decay vertex. The b-tagging requirements
result in an efficiency of 70% (77%) for jets containing
b-hadrons in the resolved (boosted) analysis, as determined
in a sample of simulated t¯t events. The corresponding
efficiencies for c-hadron jets and light-quark or gluon jets
are 12% (29%) and 0.2% (1.4%), respectively. Different
b-tagging operating points are chosen in the two analyses to
maximize their respective sensitivities. For all MC samples, charm-hadron and bottom-hadron
decays are handled by EVTGEN 1.2.0 [33]. IV. EVENT RECONSTRUCTION The
resolved
and
boosted
analyses
rely
on
the
reconstruction of jets with the anti-kt clustering algorithm
[36] but with different values of the radius parameter R. Calorimeter jets with R ¼ 0.4 (1.0) are used to determine the
kinematic properties of Higgs-boson candidates in the
resolved (boosted) analysis. Those jets are reconstructed
from topological clusters of energy deposits in calorimeter
cells. The R ¼ 0.4 jet energies are determined from recon-
structed cluster energies at the electromagnetic scale with
correction factors derived from simulation to account for the
response of the calorimeter to hadrons [37]. Jets from pileup
are suppressed with the use of tracking information as
detailed in Ref. [38]. The R ¼ 1.0 jets are built from locally
calibrated clusters [37] and are trimmed [39] to minimize the
impact of pileup. This trimming proceeds by reclustering the

removing thosesubjetswith psubjet

boosted analysis uses track jets with R ¼ 0.2 to identify
b-hadrons from Higgs-boson decays [41]. Such jets are
reconstructed from charged-particle tracks with pT >
0.4 GeV and jηj < 2.5 that satisfy a set of hit and impact
parameter criteria to make sure that the tracks originate from
the primary vertex, thereby minimizing the impact of pileup. Track jets are associated to large-R jets using ghost associ-
ation [42]. In this method, the large-R jet algorithm is rerun
with both the four-momenta of track jets modified to have
infinitesimally small momentum (the “ghosts”) and all
topological energy clusters in the event as potential con-
stituents of jets. As a result, the presence of track jets does not
alter the large-R jets already found and their association to
specific large-R jets is determined by the jet algorithm. Collision vertices are reconstructed requiring a minimum of
two tracks with pT > 0.4 GeV in each vertex. The primary
vertex is chosen to be thevertex with the largest P p2

the sum extends over all tracks associated with the vertex. The identification of jets containing b-hadrons is based The

is described below. These analyses are optimized inde-
pendently
for

and
selection
of
hh →b¯bb¯b final states, with the resolved analysis aiming
at event topologies containing four distinct b-jets, whereas
the boosted analysis focuses on topologies with higher-
momentum Higgs bosons resulting in merged jets. Different selection and background estimation strategies
are adopted for the two analyses. To facilitate the com-
parison between these different choices, Table I summa-
rizes each of the requirements and approaches described in

impact of multiple pp interactions that occur within the
same or nearby bunch crossings (pileup), minimum-bias
events generated with PYTHIA 8 are overlaid on top of the
hard scatter event. The detector response is simulated with
GEANT 4 [34,35] and the events are processed with the
same reconstruction software as that used for the data. Muons are reconstructed by combining tracks in the ID
and MS, and are required to satisfy tight muon identification
criteria [44]. The four-momentum of muons with pT >
4 GeV and jηj < 2.5, that are within ΔR of 0.4 (0.2) of jets
used for b-tagging in the resolved (boosted) analysis, is
added to the calorimeter jet four-momentum to partially
account for the energy lost in semileptonic b-hadron decays. M. AABOUD et al. Resolved

methodologies used to estimate the background normalization and shape are also outlined. The variables are defined in the text. Dijet
and large-R jet minimum pT values are indicated for leading (subleading) such objects. The functions fðm4jÞ and f0ðm4jÞ represent the
mass dependence of the minimum pT and maximum jΔηj requirements placed on the dijet candidates in the resolved analysis. 1. Selection Events selected for the resolved analysis must contain at
least four b-tagged jets with jηj < 2.5 and pT > 40 GeV. The four highest-pT b-tagged jets are used to form two dijet
systems, requiring an angular distance ΔR between the jets
within the dijet system smaller than 1.5. The transverse
momentum of the leading (subleading) dijet system is
required to be greater than 200 (150) GeV. These require-
ments are made to ensure a high trigger efficiency and to
avoid ambiguities in forming dijets. In the rare case that a
jet is assigned to more than one dijet system, only the
combination containing the jets with the highest probability
of being b-jets according to the multivariate b-tagging
algorithm is considered. Track jets are associated to large-R jets using ghost associ-
ation [42]. In this method, the large-R jet algorithm is rerun
with both the four-momenta of track jets modified to have
infinitesimally small momentum (the “ghosts”) and all
topological energy clusters in the event as potential con-
stituents of jets. As a result, the presence of track jets does not
alter the large-R jets already found and their association to
specific large-R jets is determined by the jet algorithm. Collision vertices are reconstructed requiring a minimum of
two tracks with pT > 0.4 GeV in each vertex. The primary
vertex is chosen to be thevertex with the largest P p2
T, where
the sum extends over all tracks associated with the vertex. The resolved analysis considers resonance masses in the
range 400–1500 GeV. Event selection that varies as a
function of the reconstructed resonance mass (m4j) is used
to increase the analysis sensitivity across the mass range
searched. Mass-dependent selection requirements are made
on the leading dijet pT, the subleading dijet pT and the
pseudorapidity difference between the dijets as follows [9]: The identification of jets containing b-hadrons is based
on the R ¼ 0.4 calorimeter (R ¼ 0.2 track) jets in the
resolved (boosted) analysis and a multivariate tagging
algorithm [43]. This algorithm is applied to a set of tracks
with loose impact parameter constraints in a region of 052002-3 M. AABOUD et al. In order to reduce the t¯t
background, jets not already used in the formation of the
two dijets (“extra jets”) in the event are used to reconstruct
W-boson and top-quark candidates by combining them
with one or both of the jets in a given dijet. These extra jets
are required to have pT > 30 GeV, jηj < 2.5, and ΔR <
1.5 relative to the dijet. The W-boson candidate is recon-
structed by adding the four-momentum of the extra jet to
the four-momentum of the jet in the dijet system with the
lowest probability of being a b-jet according to the
multivariate b-tagging algorithm. The top-quark candidate
is reconstructed by summing the dijet and the extra jet. The
compatibility with the top-quark decay hypothesis is then
determined using the variable These selection requirements were optimized simulta-
neously by performing a three-dimensional scan of thresh-

ð1Þ ð1Þ After selecting two dijets that satisfy the mass-dependent
criteria, 15% of the total background consists of t¯t events. This t¯t background mainly comprises events where both
top quarks decay hadronically. These hadronic decays often
lead to three jets for each top quark—one b-jet directly
from the top-quark decay and two from the decay of the W
boson. Reduction of the t¯t background is important as where mW and mt are the invariant masses of the W-boson
and top-quark candidates. The values in the denominator
approximate the dijet and three-jet system mass resolutions. If either dijet in an event has Xtt < 3.2 for any possible 052002-4 PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … spin-2 and spin-0 resonances. The acceptance times

ð2Þ The final step in the resonant analysis is to search for an
excess in the m4j distribution for events in the signal region. The sensitivity of the search is increased by improving the
m4j resolution in this region. This is achieved by scaling the
four-momentum of each of the Higgs-boson candidates
such that their mass is equal to the Higgs-boson mass. This
leads to an improvement of ∼30% in the signal m4j
resolution with little impact on the background. ð2Þ where the 0.1m2j terms approximate the widths of the mass
distributions. The center of the signal region was optimized
using G
KK samples with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1. On average, the
subleading Higgs-boson candidate is reconstructed at lower
masses as a result of energy lost from semileptonic
b-hadron decays and final-state radiation. The signal region
is defined as Xhh < 1.6. This corresponds to the kinematic
requirements illustrated by the inner region in Fig. 1. The
data shown in this figure are derived from a sample of
events that satisfy all selection criteria except for having
only two jets that pass the b-tagging requirements, referred
to as the “2-tag” sample. 2. Background estimation This “2-tag” selection yields a data sample
that consists of 98% multijet events and 2% t¯t events. The
predicted signal contamination is negligible. The 2-tag sample is normalized to the 4-tag sample and
its kinematics corrected for differences introduced by the
additional b-tagging requirement on the 4-tag sample. These kinematic differences arise because the b-tagging
efficiency varies as a function of jet pT and η, the various
multijet processes contribute in different fractions, and the
fraction of events passed by each trigger path changes. The

10% systematic uncertainty is assigned to cover potential
differences between ϵt as measured in the semileptonic t¯t
sample and ϵt in the full 4-tag selection, where the method
is applied in t¯t MC simulation to evaluate such differences. The measured ϵt agrees well with the corresponding
semileptonic t¯t MC prediction of 0.58. Systematic uncertainties in the normalization and shape
of the multijet background model are assessed in the
control region. The background prediction in the control
region agrees with the observed data to within 5%, which
is taken as the uncertainty in the predicted multijet yield. To
further test the robustness of the background estimation, the
background model is re-evaluated using different sideband
and control region definitions and different b-tagging
requirements on the “2-tag” sample. These changes affect
the kinematic and flavor compositions of the various
regions used in the background prediction. The control
region agreement and signal region predictions of all
variations considered are all consistent to within the
assigned 5% uncertainty in the multijet background
prediction. The uncertainty in the description of the multijet m4j
distribution is determined by comparing the background
prediction to the data in the control region as shown in
Fig. 3. To evaluate the level of agreement, a linear fit is
performed on the ratio of the distributions. This fit, along
with its uncertainties, shown in the bottom panel of Fig. 3,
gives a slope consistent with zero. The uncertainty in the
multijet background shape is defined using the uncertainty
in the fitted slope. Equation (4) gives a data-driven t¯t background predic-
tion of 4.2 3.8 events. The uncertainty is dominated by
the statistical uncertainty in the yield in the t¯t control
region, with a smaller contribution from the uncertainty in
the measured t¯t veto efficiency. PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … region are well described by the background model in both

those affecting the modeling of the signal and those
affecting the background prediction. t¯t background. —The normalization of the t¯t background is
derived from data in a t¯t control region. Due to the limited
yield in this control region, the shape of the t¯t background
is taken from MC simulation. To further decrease statistical
uncertainties, the t¯t shape is derived from MC simulation
using the “2-tag” selection, with a systematic uncertainty
assigned to cover the differences between the 2-tag and
4-tag m4j distributions. The signal modeling uncertainties comprise: theoretical
uncertainties in the acceptance, uncertainties in the jet
energy scale (JES) and resolution (JER), and uncertainties
in the b-tagging efficiency. The following sources of theoretical uncertainty in the
acceptance are evaluated: missing higher-order terms in
the matrix elements and PDF set, as well as modeling of the
underlying event, hadronic showers, initial- and final-state
radiation. The total theoretical uncertainty is dominated by
the uncertainties associated with the modeling of the initial-
and final-state radiation. The t¯t control region is formed from events which pass
the 4-tag selection, except for the t¯t veto, which is reversed:
if either of the dijets fails the Xtt requirement, the event
enters the t¯t control region. This selection leads to a sample
of 21 events, of which 13.3 are estimated to be multijet
events using the 2-tag sample described previously. After
subtracting the multijet background, the t¯t control region
yield is extrapolated to predict the t¯t yield in the signal
region, Nt¯t, using the following equation: The jet energy uncertainties are derived based on in situ
measurements performed during Run 1 and from MC
simulation extrapolations from Run-1 to Run-2 conditions
[45]. The JES systematic uncertainty is evaluated using
three separate and orthogonal uncertainty components [46]. The JER uncertainty is evaluated by smearing jet energies
according to the systematic uncertainties of the resolution
measurement [46]. The uncertainty in the b-tagging effi-
ciency is evaluated by propagating the systematic uncer-
tainty in the measured tagging efficiency for b-jets [47]. The efficiencies are measured as a function of b-jet pT and
η. For b-jets with pT > 300 GeV, systematic uncertainties
in the tagging efficiencies are extrapolated with MC
simulation and are consequently larger [18]. 2. Background estimation The dashed lines show the
1σ uncertainties in the two fitted parameters. Events / 50 GeV

analysis for data compared to the predicted background. 1. Selection The boosted analysis selects events with at least two large-
R jets with 250 < pT < 1500 GeV, jηj < 2.0, and mass
mJ > 50 GeV. The upper bound on the transverse momen-
tum and the mass requirement correspond to the kinematic
region where jet calibration uncertainties are available from
Refs. [41] and [48]. Only the two large-R jets with highest pT
are retained for further selection. In order to reduce the
contamination from t¯t events, the leading jet is additionally
required to have pT > 350 GeV, thus ensuring that all top-
quark decay products are contained in a single large-R jet
with mass close to that of the top quark. Table III summarizes the relative impact of the uncer-
tainties in the event yields. 3. Systematic uncertainties G

[42] to be associated with each large-R jet. They are
required to be consistent with the primary vertex of the
event as well as to satisfy pT > 10 GeV and jηj < 2.5. As in the resolved analysis, the dominant source of
background stems from multijet (80%–90%) events and the
rest is primarily due to t¯t production. The background
estimation method generally follows the same approach as
that described in Sec. VA 2. Differences are high-
lighted below. y pT
jηj
Since high-mass resonances tend to produce jets that are
more central than multijet background processes, the two
large-R jets are required to have a separation jΔηj < 1.7. Signal event candidates are selected if each of the large-R
jets has a mass consistent with that of the Higgs boson. This
is defined as for the resolved analysis in Eq. (2), where the
small-R dijet mass is replaced by the large-R jet mass,
requiring Xhh < 1.6. This requirement defines the signal
region in the leading-subleading large-R jet mass plane. Since high-mass resonances tend to produce jets that are
more central than multijet background processes, the two
large-R jets are required to have a separation jΔηj < 1.7. The shape of the multijet background in both the 3-tag
and 4-tag samples is derived from the 2-tag sample. Due to
the large statistical uncertainty in the background predic-
tion for dijet masses (m2J) above 1500 GeV, an exponential
fit to the data in the range between 900 and 2000 GeV is
used to model the high-mass tail of the dijet distribution in Signal event candidates are selected if each of the large-R
jets has a mass consistent with that of the Higgs boson. This
is defined as for the resolved analysis in Eq. (2), where the
small-R dijet mass is replaced by the large-R jet mass,
requiring Xhh < 1.6. This requirement defines the signal
region in the leading-subleading large-R jet mass plane. 4. Event yields The

uncertainty in the total background estimate. The expected signal

SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) Two samples of events are selected based on the number
of b-tagged leading and subleading track jets associated
with each large-R jet. They are referred to as the “3-tag”
and the “4-tag” samples, and require exactly three or at least
four track jets passing the b-tagging selection, respectively. In the 3-tag sample, the fourth jet is explicitly required to
fail the b-tagging requirements to define orthogonal
samples. The signal region corresponds to the kinematic require-
ments illustrated by the inner region in Fig. 5. The data
shown in this figure are derived from a sample of events
that satisfy all selection criteria except for having only two
track jets that pass the b-tagging requirements, referred to
as the “2-tag” sample. This sample is used to estimate the
background contribution as described below. The acceptance times efficiency for each stage of the
boosted-analysis event selection is shown in Fig. 4. Event yields 6 for the
G
KK and heavy scalar models. The requirement that at least
two individual track jets be associated to the large-R jets
becomes less efficient at high mass due to merging. The full
selection for a G
KK resonance with a mass of 1000 GeV
(2000 GeV) and k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 has an acceptance times
efficiency of 9% (11%) in the 3-tag sample and 8%
(5%) in the 4-tag sample. FIG. 5. The msubl

FIG. 8. Dijet mass distribution in the control region for data (points) and background estimate (histograms) in the boosted analysis for
events in the (left) 3-tag and (right) 4-tag categories. The hatched bands represent the statistical uncertainty in the total background
estimate. 3. Systematic uncertainties the statistical uncertainty associated with the data yield in
the 2-tag sample. Uncertainties in the m2J shape of the
multijet and t¯t backgrounds are not listed in Table VI, as
they do not affect the event yields, but are accounted for in
the statistical analysis. Evaluation of systematic uncertainties in the boosted
analysis generally follows the same approach as that
described in Sec. VA 3. Differences are highlighted here. The large-R jet energy resolution and scale uncertainties
as well as the jet mass resolution (JMR) and scale (JMS)
uncertainties are derived in situ from 8 TeV pp collisions,
taking into account MC simulation extrapolations for the
different detector and beam conditions present in 8
and 13 TeV data-taking periods [49]. The uncertainty in
the b-tagging efficiency for track jets is evaluated with the
same method used for R ¼ 0.4 calorimeter jets. TABLE VI. Summary of systematic uncertainties (expressed in
percentage yield) in the total background and signal event yields

43 TABLE VI. Summary of systematic uncertainties (expressed in
percentage yield) in the total background and signal event yields
in the 3-tag and 4-tag signal regions in the boosted analysis. 4. Event yields The predicted number of background events in the 3-tag
and 4-tag signal regions, the number of events observed in
the data, and the predicted yield for a potential signal are
reported in Table VII. One event in the 4-tag signal region,
with a mass of 852 GeV, is in common with the resolved
analysis. The dijet mass distribution in the signal region is
shown in Fig. 9. An excess of data is observed in the 3-tag
signal region for m2J ∼900 GeV and in the range between
1600 and 2000 GeV. The significance of these excesses is
evaluated below. In the case of the resolved analysis, the largest deviation
from the background-only hypothesis occurs around
900 GeV and is found to have a local significance less
than 2σ. In the case of the boosted analysis, the largest local
deviation corresponds to a broad data excess in the 3-tag
signal region starting at m2J ∼1700 GeV. The local sig-
nificance of this excess is 2.0σ assuming a G
KK resonance
with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1. VI. RESULTS The results from the resolved and boosted analyses are
interpreted
separately
using
the
statistical
procedure
described in Ref. [1] and references therein. A test statistic
based on the profile likelihood ratio [51] is used to test
hypothesized values of μ, the global signal strength factor,
separately for each model tested. The statistical analysis
described below is performed using the data observed in the
signal regions. The systematic uncertainties are treated as M. AABOUD et al. TABLE VII. The number of predicted background events in the
hh 3-tag and 4-tag signal regions, compared to the data for the

the predicted event yields. The yields for a 1000 GeV G
KK in the
bulk RS model with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 is also given. independent within each signal region using Gaussian or
log-normal constraint terms in the definition of the like-
lihood function. In the boosted analysis, the data from the
3-tag and 4-tag signal regions are fitted simultaneously
treating data-derived systematic uncertainties related to the
multijet background estimate as uncorrelated and all other
systematic uncertainties as fully correlated. In the case of the
search for nonresonant hh production, only the number of
events passing the final selection is used whereas the m4j or
m2J distributions are used in the case of the search for hh
resonances. Sample

2.9 1.1 A. Background-only hypothesis tests In order to determine if there are any statistically
significant local excesses in the data, a test of the back-
ground-only hypothesis (μ ¼ 0) is performed. The signifi-
cance of an excess is quantified using the local p0, the
probability that the background could produce a fluctuation
greater than or equal to the excess observed in data. A
global p0 is also calculated for the most significant
discrepancy, using background-only pseudoexperiments
to derive a correction for the look-elsewhere effect across
the mass range tested [52]. 3. Systematic uncertainties Uncertainties are provided for a G
KK resonance mass of
1500 GeV with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 or 2, as well as for a spin-0
narrow-width H boson. Systematic uncertainties in the normalization and shape
of the background model are assessed in the control region. The background predictions in both the 3-tag and 4-tag
control regions agree with the observed data to within
statistical uncertainties. The statistical uncertainties in the
control region yields are assigned as systematic uncertain-
ties in the multijet background normalization. The uncer-
tainty in the shape of the multijet background is assessed in
the control region via a linear fit to the ratio of the
distributions shown in Fig. 8. An additional uncertainty in the shape of the tail of the
background prediction is assigned by fitting the 2-tag dijet
mass distribution with a variety of empirical functions
designed to model power-law behavior, as described in
Ref. [50]. The largest difference between the exponential
function predictions and those from alternative fit functions,
considering thevariation of the fitted parameters within their
statistical uncertainties, is taken as a systematic uncertainty. Relative systematic uncertainties in both the background
and signal event yields are summarized in Table VI for the
3-tag and 4-tag selections. For the background, the entry
labeled “Statistical” corresponds to the statistical uncer-
tainty from the fit to the leading large-R jet mass (see
Sec. V B 2) used to extract the multijet and t¯t background
yields, taking the correlation between these yields into
account. It also includes the t¯t modeling uncertainties and 052002-11 PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … This

(b) Figure 10 shows the combined 95% C.L. upper limits for
three different resonances: a spin-2 G
KK in the bulk RS
model with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 and 2, and a spin-0 narrow-width H
boson. For the spin-2 G
KK with k= ¯MPl ¼ 1, limits on
σðpp →G
KK →hh →b¯bb¯bÞ are set in the range between
21 and 73 fb for masses between 600 and 3000 GeV. The
corresponding range of limits for the G
KK resonance with
k= ¯MPl ¼ 2 is 34 to 86 fb. Although no events are observed
at masses near 3000 GeV, the observed limit remains about
1σ weaker than the expected limit due to a substantial low-
mass tail in the shape of high-mass resonance signals and
the slight data excess observed at high mass. The cross-
section limits for resonance masses below 600 GeV weaken
substantially due to the lower acceptance times efficiency
(see Fig. 2) and the increased level of background. These

limits
translate
into

(expected) excluded mass ranges of 480–770 (470–
735) GeV for k= ¯MPl ¼ 1 and < 965ð< 995Þ GeV for

narrow-width H boson are similar, with 95% C.L. exclu-
sion limits ranging from 30 to 300 fb in the mass range
between 500 and 3000 GeV. B. Exclusion limits The data are used to set upper limits on the cross sections
for the different benchmark signal processes. Exclusion
limits are based on the value of the statistic CLs [53], with a Events / 50 GeV

For the resonant Higgs-boson pair production search, the
resolved and boosted analyses offer their best sensitivity in
complementary resonance mass regions. The resolved
analysis gives a more stringent expected exclusion limit
for resonance masses up to (and including) 1100 GeV,
while the boosted analysis offers better sensitivity beyond
that mass. A simple combination of the separate exclusion
limits from the resolved and boosted analyses is used. SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … (b)

the LHC at

resolved analysis with each h →b¯b decay reconstructed as
two separate b-tagged jets and for the boosted analysis with
each h →b¯b decay reconstructed as a single large-radius
jet associated with two small-radius track jets and a value of μ regarded as excluded at the 95% confidence level
(C.L.) when CLs is less than 5%. The nonresonant search is performed using the resolved
analysis, since it has better sensitivity than the boosted 052002-13 PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) M. AABOUD et al. Norway; MNiSW and NCN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/

the production cross section times branching ratio to the
b¯bb¯b final state are set for spin-0 and spin-2 resonances
with values ranging between 24 and 113 fb (at 95% C.L.)
for resonance masses in the range between 600 and
3000 GeV. For nonresonant production, the upper limit
is 1.22 pb (at 95% C.L.). The search sensitivity of this
analysis exceeds that achieved at
ffiffiffis
p ¼ 8 TeV with
19.5 fb−1
for
resonance
masses
above
1350
GeV. Furthermore, the search has been extended to cover the
mass range between 2000 and 3000 GeV. SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, 052002 (2016) SEARCH FOR PAIR PRODUCTION OF HIGGS BOSONS IN … [33] D. J. Lange, The EvtGen particle decay simulation package,

Asked Questions
Why should I take one of these courses?
First and foremost, in a fun and safe environment you will learn and develop the physical and mental skills needed to safely ride a motorcycle. Upon successful completion, you will receive a DMV licensing skills test waiver certificate. When you take this to the DMV (along with any other necessary documentation), they will waive the written and riding tests. You will also receive a Motorcycle Safety Foundation card, entitling you in Tennessee to a liability insurance discount.
Who administers the courses?
What is provided in the courses?
What do I need to bring with me to class?
Do I need any prior motorcycle experience before coming to class?
If I'm under the age of 18, can I take the course?
Do I need to bring a motorcycle to class?
Are there tests in class?
Will I get my license after the class?
Do I need a motorcycle helmet?

ShapeLog Newest Member of the ANT+ Alliance
Connected Strength Training
ShapeLog Newest Member of the ANT+ Alliance
What is ANT?
Because ANT+ is built on top of the proven ultra-low power ANT protocol, the network is optimized for power consumption, cost, latency, robust communication and ease of implementation.
Why did ShapeLog join?
We joined the ANT+ Alliance for two reasons:
1. Our next PCB platform features an ANT enabled module. We want to be the leaders in connected strength training and doing so requires a world-class data collection platform. We’ve built out own proprietary protocols, but using the ANT protocol makes too much sense to ignore in many settings. It’s bulletproof and will extend our battery-life in certain environments.
1. The community is incredible. The massive transformation we envision won’t be possible without cooperation from other industry players, and the ANT community is one place where that cooperation is possible. Today there is no strength training data standard. We intend to change that and unlock a new ecosystem of digital products and experiences that are built on high-quality strength training data.

The most influential figure in the history of the ‘New American Cinema’ discusses his past, present and ongoing projects. The interview concludes with Mekas’ strikingly precise and detailed evocation of the historical controversy surrounding Jack Smith’s Flaming Creatures.
Stan Brakhage didn’t invent the avant-garde cinema. But he certainly reinvented it. Under his tutelage, it finally became a fine art. Joseph Schumpeter would have called it “creative destruction”, a new...

Once upon a time, long ago, demons and gods were at war. To defeat the gods, the demons made a plan. During the day, they hid in the ocean and at night they attacked the gods. Afraid of being defeated in this way, the gods went to Sage Agastya for help.
Agastya solved their problem by drinking the whole ocean. Now as the demons had no place to hide, the gods easily defeated them. The gods then asked Agastya to bring the ocean back. Agastya said that he could not do that because he had already digested the ocean.
The people of the earth now had no water, as the ocean was empty, The gods were worried and went to Vishnu and requested him to bring water on earth, King Sagara, who had sixty thousand sons, was performing a yagna to conquer the whole world. According to custom, he had sent out a white horse, the ruler of that kingdom would either have to fight with Sagara or give him his crown. In this way, Sagara was conquering the whole earth and wanted to be the most powerful. Indra, took the horse and hid it in sage Kapila's ashram. Sagara sent his sons to search the horse. They reached Kapila's ashram. Sage Kapila was meditating and was disturbed. Greatly annoyed, with one look of his eyes. Kapila burnt all of them to ashes. Sagara was very sad at the death of his sons. He wanted to purify the souls of his sons but only river Ganga could do that by washing their ashes. Ganga had to be brought to earth. So Sagara performed tapasya to please Brahma. But he died before finishing the tapasya. His grandson then continued to perform the tapasya.
Shiva and GangaThe seventh descendent of Sagara, Bhagiratha, was able to please Brahma. Brahma granted him his wish and asked Ganga to flow to earth. But Ganga didn't want to leave heaven and go to earth. She threatened to destroy all life on earth by the pressure of her flow. Only Shiva's powerful hair could control the force of Ganga. Bhagiratha requested Shiva to help him. Shiva spread his hair and covered the sky. As soon as Ganga flowed down, he collected her water in his hair in the form of many small streams. She then followed Bhagiratha to the place where the ashes of his ancestors were lying. Being young Ganga flowed carelessly. She flooded the ashram of Sage Jahnu. Jahnu was performing a yagna at that time the water put out all the fires. Angry Jahnu swallowed Ganga. But when he came to know about the long tapasya that had been performed to bring Ganga to earth, he agreed to let her go. He cut open his left thigh and Ganga flowed out of it. Ganga came to be known as Jahnvi, the daughter of Jhanu.
Ganga flowed on and purified the ashes of Bhagiratha's ancestors. Therefore, Ganga is also called Bhagirathi. There after, Ganga flowed and filled the empty ocean.
The ocean came to be known as Sagara after the name of King Sagara. the people of earth now had water to drink.

Family Dogs as Lab Rats?
Researchers at the University of Washington are conducting drug testing on family dogs.
The drug is rapamycin. It's an immunosuppressant used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.
It has been found to increase life span in mice, and now scientists are wondering whether it might do the same for human beings. But rapamycin is out of patent--which means that no astronomical profits are in sight for the company that develops a new drug from it.
Researchers Matt Kaeberlein and Daniel Promislow are hoping that by exploring new uses for out-of-patent drugs, and using family dogs as their subjects, they can bring relatively low-cost medicines to market that would benefit both people and dogs.

Researcher Matt Kaeberlein. He says his dog will participate in the study when it's old enough.
So they're asking people to volunteer their dogs. They've had at least 1000 applications, and have selected 32 for a 9-month pilot study starting this spring. The pilot study will use only a few breeds and will focus on determining the appropriate dosage and detecting improvements in heart functioning. If it's successful, they will conduct a larger study using many dogs of different breeds,
The dogs in the study will be dogs in late middle age from breeds expected to live 8 or 9 years. They are hoping to extend the dogs' lives by one or two years, and to extend the lives of smaller breeds by as much as four years.
Researcher Daniel Promislow and his dog Frisbee
Their website offers a form for submitting your dog for consideration, as well as giving more information about their aims, and (of course) soliciting donations to support the study.
The ultimate aim is to develop one or more drugs that will increase human longevity.
Image result for aged people
I can easily see why lots of people would want their aging dogs to participate.
Personally, I would want to be very careful before volunteering my own pet for any drug study. Rapamycin has some nasty side effects (as do most drugs). Although the researchers state that the dosage will be low, and the dogs' well being will be their primary concern, I'm still not sure I'd want Caitlin to be the guinea pig.

Should Your Dog Be A Pothead?
It might depend...
Image result for dogs using pot
This much marijuana would definitely be bad for a dog this small.
Should your dog eat marijuana-laced brownies?
Definitely not! And if he does, you should rush him to the vet, especially if he ate a lot of them.
Effects of an overdose of THC
Both the THC in the marijuana and the chocolate and caffeine in the brownies are toxic to dogs, and there are at least a couple of cases in which dogs died after eating them.
Dogs like marijuana. They will often eat the leaves, stems, and buds. They don't get high on it, but they can get sick. For a single exposure, the effects usually wear off after a few hours or a few days with no lasting harm, according to most of the articles I read. Long-term exposure to marijuana hasn't been studied in dogs, but at least one authority warned that marijuana has a cumulative effect that may very well be lethal to them.
The consensus is: Don't let your dog eat it.
Should your dog be given marijuana for medical reasons?
Quite possibly, yes.

The evidence so far is entirely anecdotal, as no controlled studies have yet been done, although a growing number of vets are saying that they should be.

Dr. Douglas Kramer, A California vet who advocates medical marijuana for dogs
Even in states where marijuana is legal, vets are not allowed to prescribe it. Most of the vets who favor medical marijuana for dogs don't want to be named. One of the few open advocates is Dr. Douglas Kramer, a vet in Los Angeles, who said he had sometimes been asked not to return to clinics where he had volunteered or relieved another vet. He said he had started giving pets marijuana because "I grew tired of euthanizing pets when I wasn't doing everything I could to make their lives better,"
Although you can't get a prescription for cannabis for your pet from a veterinarian,a number of products are freely available online. It's a booming business with lots of money to be made.

Cannabis for dogs
One of the market leaders, Canna Pet, has been in business only a few months, but is already shipping its products to customers in the U.S and 23 other countries. They claim that their products are totally safe.
There are at least 85 active ingredients in marijuana, of which the best known are tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC (the one that gets you high), and cannabidiol, or CBD (which is the ingredient of most interest for medicine.). CBD can reduce pain, anxiety, and inflammation, as well as suppressing seizures for many people (and dogs) who don't respond well to conventional treatment.
It is a promising area for medical research, but even without that, many people who have given it to their pets are already convinced.

Getting Dogs to Take the Bait
An oral vaccine for rabies would save millions of dogs' lives and many thousands of human lives. The key is getting the dogs to take the bait.

When I was attending Ohio State University in the early 1970's, I once brought a pomegranate back from California. Not a single person would even taste it. Not one! I was amazed. Pomegranates don't have a disgusting odor or a strange unappetizing color. But in those days, they were completely unknown in Ohio.

The people who rejected them weren't ignorant rednecks who'd never been outside of their rural birthplace. They were all graduate students working on masters or PhD degrees, who must surely have had some experience of the world. But none of them was willing to risk so much as a single bite.
I had more or less the same experience during an undergraduate year I spent in France in 1965. The American students put together a Thanksgiving dinner for their French hosts. We made the mistake of including sweet corn on the menu. "That's pig food!" was the universal verdict. They didn't need to taste it to know that it wasn't fit for human consumption.
I have to admit that I'm no different from my friends in Ohio and in France. My husband, who grew up in England, loves Marmite, but hates its Australian cousin, Vegemite.. I dislike both of them. But I like peanut butter, which he won't touch.

I can't even stand the smell of this stuff.
Dogs, apparently, are much the same as people. They don't like unfamiliar things.
If dogs are roaming free or cannot easily be restrained, oral vaccination will not work unless most dogs take the bait. 70% of them need to be immune to rabies before the whole community will be protected from it.
In the 2001 trial of oral rabies vaccine carried out in the Philippines 96% of the dogs who were offered bait accepted it without hesitation. The study states that "Baits were quickly taken up and most were rapidly and completely consumed by the dogs." The bait was made from local materials, all things those dogs were familiar with and would have eaten before.

Dogs in the Philippines
In contrast, in a field trial in Tunisia, where a commercially manufactured bait was used, only 44% of the dogs would touch it.

The locally produced vaccine used in the Philippines had another advantage. It cost only a penny per dose, as opposed to $1.30 per unit for a commercial raccoon bait in the U.S That's a stratospheric difference for a country without much money.
It also seems to me that a bait made locally would produce some local jobs, especially if the program were ongoing--which it would need to be to provide continuing immunity to a changing dog population.

"How much house can I afford?" It's a critical question that every homebuyer faces, and one that many people answer by going to a lender and taking out the largest mortgage that the lender will approve. While this strategy will help you get the largest, most expensive house that you can qualify for, being eligible for a loan and being able to afford the property aren't necessarily the same thing. (For more insight, see Mortgages: How Much Can You Afford?)
From a lender's perspective, loan eligibility is based on a formula. The most common rule of thumb is that your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your gross income. This calculation includes more than just the base price of the house. Consider, for example, a $50,000 gross income. Based on 28% of that amount, the mortgage payment would be $14,000 per year or $1,166.66 per month. That $1,166.66 needs to cover all four potential components of a mortgage: principal, interest, taxes and insurance, often referred to as PITI.
If your credit history is good, the lender may let you take out a mortgage with a monthly payment equal to 30% or even 40% of your gross monthly income. In our example, 40% would get you a yearly mortgage payment of $20,000 or $1,666.66 per month. The $500 per month difference would let you afford a more expensive home, but you should take a close look at your finances before making such a decision.
Gross Vs. Net Income
Although mortgage eligibility is based on gross income, your monthly payments are made from your net income. This means that your ability to afford the payments can look quite different once the mortgage actually needs to be paid. That $50,000 gross income is reduced to $36,000 net after 28% goes to pay taxes. Taking $20,000 out of that to pay the mortgage leaves you $16,000 to live on for the year. On a monthly basis, that's $1,333.33. Factor in a car payment, credit cards and student loans to cover the cost of your education or tuition bills for your children and there might not be much left over at the end of the month. Although you may be able to qualify for that $1,666.66 loan on paper, actually taking it might not be the best financial move that you could make. On the other hand, if you are debt free and have a rainy-day fund stashed away in case of emergencies, a mortgage that takes up such a large chunk of your gross income may not be a problem. (For more insight, read Are You Living Too Close To The Edge?)
Another rule of thumb to consider is that your debt-to-income ratio should not exceed 36% of your gross income. To calculate your maximum monthly debt based on this ratio, multiply your gross income by 0.36 and divide by 12. For example, if you earn $50,000 per year, your maximum monthly debt expenses should not exceed $1,500, which would include your mortgage. Referring back to our example, the $1,333.33 monthly mortgage payment might be enough to break the bank for someone with heavy debts or big spending habits, while the $1,666.66 monthly payment is just slightly more than the 36% of gross income and perhaps well within the means of a prudent spender.
Determining Eligibility
Sitting down with a calculator will give you a good idea of where you stand in relationship to the loan amount you can probably qualify for and the debt-to-income ratio that you can actually afford. In the excitement to purchase a new home, don't lose sight of the reality that lenders are in business to make loans. They will let you borrow the maximum amount that you can qualify for because they charge interest on that amount. The more money you borrow, the more money the lender earns in interest. Also, many lenders sell their loans to investors, so the lender itself many not stand to lose anything at all if you default on your loan.
House Poor
Taking out a large loan often results in a situation referred to as being "house poor". Being house poor is generally not a good idea. While you may be able to make the monthly mortgage payments and even pay your other bills too, you are one large expense away from disaster. Should you need to make a major repair to your car, purchase a new appliance, or encounter any other scenario that requires a substantial outlay of cash, you are going find yourself in a tough spot and could end up losing your home, filing bankruptcy, or both.
Play It Safe
Regardless of the size of the loan a lender offers, don't buy more house than you can afford. If you purchase a home and, after making the payments for a few years, find that you have considerable discretionary income left or have substantially increased your income since making the purchase, you can always move. Of course, if you like where you live, you can make extra payments and potentially retire your mortgage early.

Bear Winter might be the most romantic Match-3 game I’ve ever played. This is especially unexpected, because just below the surface of its genre conventions, Nevercenter’s minimalist little gem is about the inevitability of death, and the insurmountable power of nature. But like the blankets of snow padding the wilderness in which you play, there are hidden layers to the experience — a wistful, almost imperceptble sense of longing for a simpler life. A romance.
All you need to know about the granular mechanics of the game can be summed up aptly in the four promotion lines describing it: “I gather fire for warmth. I gather acorns for sustenance. I gather arrows for defense. Then the bears come.” A survival story, splayed out on a 3×3 grid. Swipe three like symbols to collect fire, which depletes each turn, acorns to restore health, and arrows which can be deployed to clear the board of bears. Craftily collecting three bears in a line and tracing over them nets you a “catch”, but box yourself in and be forced to swipe a row with less than three? Say goodbye to a heart. Keep everything in careful balance until something, inevitably, gives way, and you freeze. Or until the bears come.
bearwinter1It’s not revolutionary, but in many ways that’s what I love about Bear Winter. Instead, like nature, it’s *evolutionary*. Rather than add itself to the ever increasing list of Match-3 titles that have cross-pollinated with another genre, Bear Winter focuses on making a connection with the player. By turning swipes into the gathering of crucial resources, and keeping you focused on maintaining the harmony of what you’ve collected, the game transcends the competition to see how *many* things it can get you to do, and instead adds meaning to the things you’re doing.
Each play session feels like a micro-story. Moves are tracked in increments of time, long winter days dragging on as you warily swipe your way through the unpredictable forest. Each day you survive brings with it new challenges, both in gameplay and narrative. Little bits of story hinting at a lost love, and a search for meaning amidst the orderlessness of nature. Pervading it all is a moving, downbeat piano soundtrack that evokes a sense of slow, sure forward propulsion, broken up only by a twinkling crescendo of the harp which leads circularly back to the start of the tune. Like each session, like a forlorn trip into the woods: a hunt for more. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9218366742134094}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '64322', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VQ6XJ7CJJRH4JXIKNQXJ26YPZD4KBFWN', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:284c32a9-a44d-4f79-8d73-49aa2aaeb2f9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 24, 8, 47, 45), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.24.96.149', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:IFAYHWVAVEX3IBQWMRSG4TXZSZ25DUSO', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e909e8e7-f478-4e1d-821f-738bf187aab2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.gamezebo.com/2015/01/13/bear-winter-review-hunting-threason/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:742a2923-d6b5-405f-b70d-a3477b4bd417>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '409', 'url': 'https://www.gamezebo.com/2015/01/13/bear-winter-review-hunting-threason/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-192-21.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.05130171775817871', 'original_id': 'bbe5dec59239015ad1e934d909f6ca74f59b7c2835768cce81907f25f65c7aff'} |
Is There an Age Limit for Bikinis?
Is There an Age Limit for Bikinis?

So why then, am I reluctant to wear said bikini to the water park? Why does wearing a two-piece around a bunch of kids feels mildly yet weirdly inappropriate? Why do I feel compelled to buy a suit with more coverage even though I don’t want to spend the money?
Because I’m 40 and I’m a mom. Those two seemingly unrelated facts have me questioning the appropriateness of a perfectly good swimsuit.
I don’t want to be that lady in the graying ponytails and miniskirt who other women comment about. If you are female, you know exactly the comments I’m referring to. We’ve all said them: “Isn’t she a little old for that outfit? Shouldn’t she dress more age-appropriately? How old does she think she is?”
None of us wants to be that woman because we know others women will judge us — harshly. Yet, where is the line? My conservative halter top with its full-coverage bottoms is a far cry from the string bikini thongs worn on Caribbean beaches, and yet I worry it is too revealing for the kiddie pool.
I’m not the only one. I have a friend who, after giving birth to three children, still qualifies as a hot tamale (what my grad school friends jokingly called each other when we turned 30). She is a swimsuit connoisseur, buying at least a couple of them each year. She recently told me that this year she purchased her first one-piece. She didn’t really want to, but like me, she felt mildly uncomfortable swimming with her kids in a bikini. Like me, she didn’t feel she had crossed that age-appropriate line yet, but she wasn’t quite sure where the line is.
My question is why is there a line at all? If we feel good in what we wear, what does it matter if we bought our clothing in juniors or geriatrics? If we feel confident in a miniskirt at 50 or 60, shouldn’t we wear one proudly?
We’re told that age is just a number and it’s all about how young you feel. In the same breath, we’re told to act our age. I don’t know how to act my age because some days I feel 22 and some days I feel 72. Must my wardrobe reflect the age I feel each day? Seems complicated and pricey.
So, in the end, I’ve decided to pack the purple bikini and here’s why. One, I don’t want to spend money on a swimsuit when I already have one. And two, in the past month, I’ve run 60 miles, nearly every step of them on a treadmill. That’s the running equivalent of watching paint dry — even if you are watching HGTV the entire time.
I’ve earned the right to wear that swimsuit — and I’m going to try to wear it proudly without concern about judgment. After all, it’s only a matter of time before gravity wins and I won’t want to wear that swimsuit.
And next time I see a woman dressed “too young for her age,” I will resist the urge to raise my eyebrows at the friend next to me. Instead, I will think “You go, girl. You’re a hot tamale, inside and out.”

Written by Monica Lazarescu, C.Psych Associate
Children, like adults, benefit from psychology services to either identify the source of a behavioral, emotional or a learning problem, or to help them develop strategies for coping with stressful events.
Kyle, a 10 year-old boy in grade 4, is a friendly child who was doing well academically during his first grades. However, in grade 4, Kyle started complaining about stomach aches or headaches in the morning before going to school. His parents and teachers noted that he looks sad sometimes, and that he spends less time with friends. Although he tries hard and he works every day at home to complete school work, his marks are declining. His teacher noted that he is absent-minded at school, and that he gives up easily when facing a novel problem.
Kyle’s parents decided to consult with a psychologist in regards to their concerns for Kyle’s academic decline and social withdrawal. They decided to have a psychoeducational assessment for Kyle that will look into both academic and behavioral concerns. The results of the assessment indicated that Kyle was identified with a learning disability that became more prevalent when grade expectations increased. Kyle was a smart boy who was able to learn and keep his marks up during the first grades, however his increased effort with lower academic results made Kyle feel that he is not capable enough. He compared himself with his friends and he blamed himself for not being successful.
The psychologist’s assessment offered a different light for Kyle to perceive himself. He was provided with support and strategies in school and his academic performance increased. In addition, Kyle’s parents accessed therapy services for Kyle to give him more emotional support and to teach him strategies to increase self-esteem and reduce anxiety related to school work.
Many children start blaming themselves when they cannot keep up with curriculum expectations. They feel they are not smart enough, they start avoiding going to school and they don’t enjoy being with friends anymore. They may complain about health issues frequently with no real concern. Parents notice a difference in their child’s behavior, and often their concerns are confirmed by teachers.
So when should parents consult with a psychologist? As a parent, you know your child best and you can tell that something is different with them. When a child displays behaviors underlying an emotional or academic problem, the sooner it is identified and treated, the better the outcome. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9859971404075624}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '169324', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5KLP7XZBNF35Y74HMHI7THYD5ONV2HLM', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a2627994-24d9-4d4a-8160-9182f3e6c5a6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 29, 12, 28, 20), 'WARC-IP-Address': '165.227.37.237', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5IG4J3E7SKXXWAVNPFLQCNFNV3H54YSI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:95c321cf-955d-4ad3-9c07-3d65485d68e1>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://lakesidehealthcentre.com/when-should-my-child-see-a-psychologist/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:7cf99211-27cb-4507-90f6-27d73645cb19>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '409', 'url': 'https://lakesidehealthcentre.com/when-should-my-child-see-a-psychologist/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-24\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May/June 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-88.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.04610103368759155', 'original_id': '8cb38ab8625e01fc54437edb44912e1abad8bf43917f064d7d4e775df049b213'} |
Is Dick Cheney right?
How the debate changes if waterboarding terrorists saved lives
Dick Cheney says torture works, said Richard Cohen in The Washington Post. What if he's right? The credibility-challenged former vice president said, most recently on Face the Nation, that harsh interrogations got terrorists to cough up information that saved lives. If he's right, we should have an open debate about whether that justifies using these methods, or whether they're still so abhorrent that they should be banned forever. (watch Cheney on Face the Nation)
Let's start by being honest about what these methods are, said John Hinderaker in Power Line. We're not stooping to the practices of the other side. They chop off prisoners' heads—we waterboarded, we put a caterpillar in a prisoner's cell, we grabbed prisoners by the lapels. And what Bush administration critics won't acknowledge is that we did it precisely because we wanted "humane but effective alternatives to much more brutal tactics."
Cheney's "revisionist case for torture" is a bunch of "self-serving nonsense," said Eugene Robinson in The Washington Post. He says it was okay to commit crimes because it was in the name of preventing another attack like 9/11. "The fallacy lies in the fact that it is impossible for Cheney to prove that anti-terrorism methods within the bounds of U.S. law and tradition would have failed to prevent new attacks."
Cheney's right about one thing, said the Newark, N.J. Star-Ledger in an editorial. The Obama administration should release the memos and other records that could help determine "what role torture played, if any, in furthering our knowledge of al Qaida and terrorism in general."

Strengths Coaching Blog
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
By Curt Liesveld, Learning and Development Senior Consultant, Gallup
Strengths coaching is an approach to coaching that intentionally focuses on a person's natural ability. My first goal as a strengths coach is to help an individual capitalize on their natural ability, that is, those ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that they can productively apply with the most ease and enjoyment. In addition, I work with individuals to help them understand and manage their vulnerability, that is, the situations and places where this natural ability can be easily misunderstood or unproductively applied. The people we coach will also need some help in understanding and owning their liabilities or disabilities, that is, those required ways of thinking, feeling or behaving that don't come with either ease or enjoyment. Finally, I find that strengths coaching must eventually focus on compatibility, that is, how a person's abilities coexist and cooperate with the abilities of others. Compatibility is crucial in both personal and professional success. It is at the core of great partnerships, great teams, great marriages and great families. As a result, the people we coach are often very interested in finding a magic formula for compatibility.
Most of us think we will experience compatibility when we can find and choose the perfect partner or teammate. I am wondering if this is why people who use the Clifton StrengthsFinder are often tempted to use the CSF as a selection instrument. I can almost hear them thinking, "If I can just avoid the person that has incompatible themes and find the person who has compatible themes, everything will be perfect. If I can just find the magic CSF formula, we will all live happily ever after."
Embedded in this thinking are a couple of mistaken assumptions. The first assumption is that compatibility is something this is primarily discovered, rather than created. The second assumption is that since compatibility by definition is about "congenial, agreeable and harmonious existence and performance," it is most likely to occur when differences are limited and tension is eliminated.
My theory is that we gravitate to the assumption of compatibility via discovery because it is much easier than believing in compatibility via development. If compatibility is a magic formula, I simply need to have people take an assessment and then apply the formula. Developing compatibility is much more difficult than discovering compatibility. Finding the perfect partner or mate seems an easier option than figuring out how to be the perfect partner or mate.
I am not suggesting that making wise selection decisions is unimportant. While there are those rare times in life when we do get to choose a spouse, a friend, a roommate or an employee, much of our life is spent living and working with people we didn't choose. For example, we don't get to choose our parents and in most cases, parents don't get to choose their kids. Many times students don't get to choose their teachers, and teachers don't get to choose their students. Most of us don't have the option of saying, "I don't think I can live/work with you because we are incompatible.” We don't have the luxury of delaying collaboration until we find the perfect coworker. Instead most of us need to quickly figure out "How can I best work with this person or these people?"
Many people we coach will ask the question, “Are we compatible?” There will be times where that question is relevant, but in most cases a better and more productive question is, "How could we be compatible?” and "How could we work or live together in a more harmonious, agreeable and congenial manner?
The other flawed assumption related to compatibility is that there are some CSF themes that are mutually exclusive. That is, they just don't mix. Something akin to how water and fire don't mix. When you add water to fire the fire is extinguished and when you add fire to water the water is evaporated. Granted, there are certainly some themes that are more unlikely to occur together as dominant themes within a person. For example, Command and Harmony are not likely to occur together as dominant themes, neither are Maximizer or Restorative. However, just because two themes are unlikely to occur together within a person, it is wrong and unproductive to assume that these same two themes are incompatible and antagonistic when they occur in two different people.
Instead of assuming that Command and Harmony are incompatible themes, it would be much more beneficial for a coach to help people with these themes to think about how they could work together in a more harmonious, agreeable or congenial way. How can the theme of one person positively enhance the theme of another person in a way that both themes can be authentically utilized at the same time?
Let's go back to the example of fire and water. While water can extinguish fire and fire can burn up (evaporate) water, are there situations where they can co-exist simultaneously and productively? The answer is yes. Water could actually help to manage or control a fire and keep it from becoming a wildfire. Water, when applied to things that you don't want to burn, will control the fire. In the same way, water might be more valuable when it is warmer or boiling. When a regulated amount of fire is applied to water, the temperature of the water will increase and as a result the value of the water might be improved.
Sometimes we are lucky and stumble across the perfectly compatible partner. But it’s more likely that compatibility is a long journey, developed through work and awareness. So this is the first step, change the conversation. How can you be a great partner to others? What do you bring that the other may need? What can you give to a compatible partnership, and what can you achieve that’s greater together?

We consistently hear from young adults that their time as a camp counselor is one of their best memories. But it doesn’t always start that way–adjusting to the life of a counselor can sometimes take time.
Because it can take time, we compiled a list of tips for camp counselors in hopes that it will better prepare you for the transition into the role of a camp counselor!
Lead by example
At camp, you are exposing your campers to new things while teaching them teamwork, gratitude, and self-sufficiency. Practice these things yourself. Bond with your fellow counselors and work together with them. Show respect to the camp directors, parents, and even the children. Get into a routine that works for you. It’s hard to expect your campers to follow the rules, be inclusive, and enjoy their time if you aren’t doing the same.
Invest in your campers
Counselors often come in believing their job is to babysit some young kids: shepherd them from one activity to another, maintain order, and be there if something goes wrong.
A counselor’s role is much more than that!
You are there to help kids grow emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Learn their names, what they enjoy, and what makes them who they are. Take time to be their friend, not just their temporary supervisor. You’ll be amazed how much just a little bit of attention and intentional conversation means to them.
Be flexible
To have a functional camp, it is important to set and memorize a schedule. While a schedule is important, it is also important to find the balance between being a stickler and allowing the kids some time to learn and enjoy their experience. If your children are having a hard time keeping up, try building extra time into your schedule. If one activity is causing stress and another is a crowd favorite, maybe scrap the former and focus more time on other things. Always think about what you can do to make the campers’ experience better.
Remember your purpose
Being a counselor for young children is a great experience for youth and young adults. Counselors often develop lifelong friendships, discover something they want to do in their career, or have significant spiritual experiences. Those things are intended to happen along the journey. If you come expecting to get something in return out of the experience, you may lose sight of why you’re really there, and in turn miss out on what He has for you to learn.
The primary reason counselors come to camp is to help others — namely the campers — experience those things. Your focus should be on helping the kids have a camp to remember. If you do that, chances are you’ll learn something about yourself and our Lord along the way. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9646944403648376}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '30930', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VQ6BQYCX54X6AMRRDKJ7DPUK3TCYCI6Z', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:9ebf8052-093e-40c0-bdfd-f65a822b9d6b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 10, 21, 10, 23), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.66.159', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2TZ2X52KW4TKYIAMHABUELLQFE3WVLF2', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:41d2dda4-0018-4519-9418-701ff885f2a9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://campparon.com/2017/11/27/tips-for-camp-counselors/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d76aae7f-8c83-4c98-a218-3e5dd550cae2>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '461', 'url': 'https://campparon.com/2017/11/27/tips-for-camp-counselors/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-43\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-235.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.023799479007720947', 'original_id': '1cb638418cdf7fcecb3c194a3e5b38d70475eebdb71ed4d32dfc21ee41d393da'} |

Integrating Sports
Organized sports have been in the news an awful lot lately, and not in a bowl/pennant/series kind of way. It’s been all about sex. Sexual orientation, sexual (mis)behavior, and gender orientation in team sports has been popping up like kernels in a Jiffy Pop. The accumulated effect of these pops is to force us to look at sports with fresh eyes. Why are teams gender-specific? Well, because (we sputter), because…men are biologically larger. Sometimes they are, and that is an ancient argument that we used to keep women out of the police force, the firehouse and the military.
If a standard of physical skill and strength is set for a team, why does it matter the gender of the player? Organized sports have never been so popular amongst children. Free-range play for every age of child has been replaced by team sports. During the K-12 years, boys and girls are often the same size, and in some cases the girls are bigger. There are unisex teams for children, but usually they only lasts until middle school. Most sports do not legally allow full body tackles. So if a girl/woman has an equal skill to that of a boy/man what is the issue exactly? Why are we hanging onto this gender specific paradigm? We let go of most gender specific curriculum years ago (show of hands for those who remember being tracked into sewing/cooking or mechanical drawing/shop.) The “Boys” and “Girls” engravings on old school doors while quaint are ignored. Title IX opened up an entire world of athletics to girls. And that was good. But it has been almost two generations since the initiation of that progress. Team sports have become as routine an endeavor for girls as ballet once was. So why aren’t boys and girls playing on the same team? Well, (ahem) what of the locker rooms, you ask?
Why in the world do we design locker rooms in which there is no privacy, particularly in schools? Is there ever a life stage more rife with body image issues?! Why do we subject any person to such a thing? Heterosexual, homosexual, pansexual, transgender; everyone deserves a little privacy. That aside, the short answer to the locker room question is; build locker rooms with private showers equipped with a small vestibules (with hooks and shelves.) Lockers can be in a communal setting and dressing/undressing can be done privately.
Any organization, which by definition is for only one segment of the population, cultivates a potentially unhealthy camaraderie. The less diverse a group the more myopic their orientation. A group can easily influence even the most open-minded individual, particularly when they’re coached that there is no “I” in team. It is in closed societies that we often find misdeeds towards others. Opening up the teams to any person with the skills/talents to play the sport will create a better environment for all.
As more young people openly identify as transgender and/or L(esbian),G(ay),B(isexual) we will be faced with privacy and equity issues. And this is good. When we change the way school athletics is handled we will (eventually) see the effect on professional sports. It took years of Title IX to get us to the WNBA, and we certainly have a ways to go in other sports. But it is progress, and that is good.
Sports Talk
Team sports and bad behavior have been linked more than a few times recently. The theme of the stories isn’t necessarily new nor are their clusterings. It’s common that news producers bring similar stories (of any vein) to the forefront resulting in the illusion of clustering. The fact remains that bad behavior in team sports probably happens all the time to varying degree. What makes the recent spate of stories worth examining is that they’ve prompted conversations regarding homosexuals in sports. Several sport professionals and commentators have made grim pronouncements and analysis about the state of ‘tolerance’ in team sports. More than a handful of serious men are giving serious thought to what homosexuality means to and how it affects team sports. Armchair commentators are baffled by the efforts to correct what they experience as innocuous behavior. Some harken back to their own survival of a coach’s wrath and wonder what the hell has happened to sports.
What seems to be missing from all of these conversations is women. Where is the serious analysis of women’s sports teams? Why are we not discussing what a locker room might look like with openly gay women in it? Where are the exposes of women coaches yelling gay slurs at her athletes? Putting aside the fact that women sports teams are not nearly as financially lucrative as their male counterparts, why the discrepancy? Why do we not seem to care all that much about the sexual orientation of women athletes? Why is it hard to even imagine a woman using a lesbian slur? Can we even picture a locker room in which any female athlete would care a whit about the orientation of a teammate? Could it be that the recent ‘homosexuals in sports’ conversation is much more about ‘machismo in sports’?
Men dominate sports, and sports are often about domination. For men (regardless of orientation) homosexuality can be seen as a threat to machismo/dominance. Much of the anti-homosexual slurs don’t refer to men loving men, but of a state of being effeminate. Of course on a purely rational level it’s hard to imagine anything more masculine than men partnered with other men. It is the very celebration of manhood that is what defines homosexuality, but we digress.
Even if we ignore women being ignored in this conversation, we are still left questioning whether we’re being ingenuous in this conversation. Is it really about how athletes and coaches view and treat homosexuals? Or is it that male sports teams are defined by homogeneity and there is little room for divergence? Could it be that male team sports is an ancient phenomenon and like a good chorus line, is dependent upon a neutrality of identity? Is the version of machismo fostered by team sports am ancient defense to the intense touching and often underdressed state of teammates? Could it be that self-concsciousness that sometimes leads to bad behavior with women? Could it be that all traditionally all-male groups suffer from the same self-consciousness? Could that be behind “don’t ask, don’t tell” and the Boy Scout ban? Could all the bigotry really just be an attempt to affirm; “No, I’m not, they are!”

Industrial IoT Intelligence Aims to Save Lives by Preventing Disasters
In an evolution that could save lives as well as billions of dollars in disaster damage, real-time embedded systems, virtualization, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now a part of the Industrial IoT (IIoT) mix at plants and oil refineries.
On March 23, 2005, a BP Plc oil refinery in Texas blew up, killing 15 people and injuring more than 170. The explosion's cause was BP employees overfilling and overheating an important piece of oil processing equipment, The Guardian reported at the time. BP ultimately shelled out more than $3 billion to pay fines, settle lawsuits, and improve the refinery, which Marathon Petroleum Corporation bought in early 2013 for $2.5 billion.
This is just one example in a long list of disasters because, in the energy sector, plants and similar facilities can explode catastrophically. That's long been a fact of life. However, vendors pioneering Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure are looking to help prevent accidents such as these through automation. IIoT platforms provide real-time monitoring and preventive maintenance, which help enable plant owners and operators to react more quickly to emergency situations. This reaction time is sped up further via virtualization, which helps reduce latency in IoT applications that operate in facilities such as oil refineries and power plants. Decisions on equipment in power plants and chemical plants must be made in real time to protect the safety and security of the surrounding population.
In order for oil refineries and power plants to avoid catastrophes, a safety instrumented system (SIS) from companies such as Schneider Electric can "monitor these critical variables that would be indicative of an exothermic reaction," said Christopher Lyden, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Portfolio at Schneider Electric. "If they sense that those variables are changing too quickly, then they take actions to actually shut the process down."
Lyden is in an excellent position to comment on these situations because Schneider Electric is an automation supplier that provides the automation equipment specifically for power plants, oil production plants, and oil refineries. Vendors such as Emerson Electrics and Honeywell International also offer SIS platforms.
A SIS acts as a "brake" on a plant's operation, according to Lyden. "Basically, a SIS is there to ensure the plant shuts down before a catastrophe or critical incident can occur," Lyden said. "It monitors the performance of the operation and the operating assets. If the process begins to speed up or if something starts to lose control, then the SIS takes over and brings the plant down."
Schneider Electric's SIS, the EcoStruxure Triconex Safety System, is a combination of edge controller hardware and software that helps maintain the uptime of plants. The system can provide warning of fires or other combustible events as well as other events, such as toxic gas leaks, and help rectify the situations. Although SIS platforms do not connect to data networks due to security concerns, they still play a role in IIoT by providing data to operators in plants and refineries to help them make critical decisions.
"For example, operators can receive alerts via dashboard on their smartphone, telling them the plant or a particular plant asset is at risk. They can then take the necessary action to avert an incident," Lyden said. "We're helping them understand their safety threshold, [meaning] how far they can drive the process and their assets before the plant reaches an unsafe state."

Redundancy, Autonomy, and Fast Failover
According to Lyden, in order to protect against the type of disaster that occurred at the BP oil refinery mentioned earlier, operators should maintain fast failover and automated control, as well as consider implementing redundancy on virtual machines (VMs). To accomplish this, Schneider Electric deploys Wind River's Titanium Control on-premises cloud infrastructure platform. "Having redundancy on the VMs is highly important, and having this fast failover means that they never lose view of the plant for long enough to give them anxiety," Lyden said.
A distribution control system from a company such as Schneider Electric brings autonomous functions to chemical plants and power plants. Schneider Electric's programmable logic controllers running Wind River's VxWorks real-time operating system (OS) let power plants control their operations autonomously. The autonomous functions of a distribution control system help power plants and oil facilities control the pressure, temperature, and flow of energy. Lyden refers to this as "heartbeat control." In fact, Schneider Electric and Wind River are working on a next-generation process controller. This type of control technology handles failover in plants, when standby equipment takes over due to failure in primary infrastructure.
Safety and Security of Critical Infrastructure
Wind River helps customers such as Schneider Electric integrate the diverse hardware and control apps of industrial plants on a single platform. Plants can also leverage virtualization and containers to maintain optimal availability. Wind River specializes in real-time OSes as well as the virtualization technologies needed to drive intelligence to the edge, keeping systems available and connected to the cloud.
A component of an IIoT infrastructure, real-time OSes typically focus on safety and mission-critical apps. They react to their environment on a micro-second scale, and are ideal for devices and apps that can't fail. "Real-time OSes can ensure that the compute, memory, and the cache always gets distributed on a priority basis," said Jim Douglas, President and CEO of Wind River.
Running real-time OSes in parallel with Linux lets companies apply machine learning (ML) at the edge where plants have "high safety criticality," Douglas said. Although real-time OSes and Linux can be operated separately, when used together Linux can run the non-safety-critical parts of a device or app while the real-time OS handles the mission-critical functions. Linux is useful with embedded systems because of its lower system requirements and higher performance capabilities, according to Douglas. Because of these higher-performance capabilities, you can now find various flavors of Linux being used on factory floors, in programmable controls, in airplanes, and in flight-control systems.
More compute is occurring at the edge to avoid this delay. "You can't have that latency," Douglas said. "If something happens, you're going to have a catastrophe."
Industry and Internet of Things Concept
Automated and Unmanned
These technologies are evolving rapidly enough that Lyden predicts that some gas plants may soon become unmanned to protect against disasters. "The technology today is not such that people are confident to do that. However, we're starting to see it offshore," Lyden said. "So you'll see all of the operations on a group of offshore oil platforms operated from a central mother platform with unmanned daughter platforms."
Lyden also noted that a number of small gas plants are now remotely managed. "We're driving, I think, toward this notion of autonomy, meaning that the control system has everything in it that would allow control, but still allow safety without humans there," Lyden said.
"This notion of intelligent, autonomous, edge devices that are self-diagnosing," he continued, "that not only do [they] control but they can also then begin to do things like manage the condition of the physical plant assets. Those kind of capabilities are necessary to get to this vision of unmanned plants."
In addition, edge computing and IIoT will create opportunities for humans and autonomous machines to coexist. In fact, artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge will be at the heart of IIoT, according to Douglas. The first wave of IIoT involved connecting edge machines to enterprise networks. Then came analytics and data visualization. "We could start to do analytics using software [and] write things like visualization packages to make it easier to detect anomalies," Douglas said.
"The next wave is, you're going to have machines that are either fully autonomous or partially autonomous where they can actually start doing more sophisticated tasks on their own, and you can have people be more focused on higher-level tasks and let the robots do the lower-level tasks," Douglas continued. "That's the big transformation. That's where AI comes in, where when you have enough compute power on the edge that you can start to make this machinery a lot smarter. And have it take over more of these type of tasks that [today] take a lot of human interaction."
Analytics and Equipment Health
Currently, manufacturing plants and refineries have a variety of equipment that helps control the manufacturing process, including compressors, gauges, pumps, and valves. Sensors enable these components to become intelligent and share information about their operating performance. According to Lyden, in the future, chemical plants will have pumps generating analytics that tell personnel when the pumps are shorting out the starters or using too much current.
"You can expect pumps to be instrumented in a way that tells you if it's consuming the power or if the pump is becoming less efficient," Lyden said. "And all of those things would be run from a common edge device that both controls the operation of the pump and diagnoses the pump."
As organizations remove people from power plants, and the prices of sensors and measurement devices go down, there will need to be more management of the plants through IIoT to avoid failure of the unmanned plants.
"It's things of that nature that I think the IoT will enable, because we'll see much more equipment health management than we see today," Lyden said. "The next step then, as the IIoT matures, is to impart actual control capability into these assets. What we're talking about is each of these assets becoming a cyber-physical system that is able to control itself autonomously." In addition, going forward, chemical plants will connect their blowers, heat exchanges, motors, and pumps, according to Lyden.
Next to physical IIoT developments, analytics will develop and play a bigger role in managing the performance of pumps. The combination of increased connectivity, computing power, and analytics will help plants and refineries manage the health of process equipment, improve decision making, and boost the reliability of critical infrastructure.
The aforementioned incident at BP's oil refinery, as well as an Exxon Mobile refinery incident on Feb. 18, 2015, in California, in which a release of hydrocarbon caused an explosion, show a need for IIoT technology. The intelligence it brings can help prevent these types of disasters.

Functional outcome of tongue motions with selective hypoglossal nerve stimulation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Selective upper airway stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve is a novel therapy option for obstructive sleep apnea. Different tongue motions were observed after surgery during active therapy. We examined tongue motions in 14 patients (mean age 51 ± 10 years) who received an implantation of an upper airway stimulation system (Inspire Medical Systems) from September 2013 to February 2014 in three different implantation centers in Germany after surgery. Sleep recording was performed preoperatively: 2 months (M02) and 6 months (M06) after surgery. There were three different tongue motions observed after surgery at 1 month (M01), M02, and M06 after surgery: bilateral protrusion (BP), right protrusion (RP), and mixed activation (MA). At M01: 10 BP, 2 RP, and 2 MA; at M02: 12 BP, 0 RP, and 2 MA; and at M06: 12 BP, 0 RP, and 2 MA could be detected. The average apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was reduced from 32.5 ± 14.2/h before surgery to 17.9 ± 23.3/h at M02 and 14.1 ± 19.8/h at M06. An increased reduction in AHI was found in BP and RP group (Baseline: 29.6 ± 12.6/h; M02: 12.06 ± 14.1/h; M06: 9.7 ± 12.6/h) compared to the MA group (Baseline 49.6 ± 13.8/h; M02: 49.7 ± 5.1/h; M06: 40.5 ± 4.1/h). These findings suggest that the postoperative tongue motions in upper airway stimulation are associated with the therapy outcome. The stimulation electrode placement on the hypoglossal nerve for selective muscle recruitment may play a role in the mechanism of action. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '85bd888051a3b33073dfeddc297349329dfc3d1d48544b2c982c6570b12acc7d'} |
Saving and Loading
If you’ve been modifying the pipeline, vocabulary, vectors and entities, or made updates to the model, you’ll eventually want to save your progress – for example, everything that’s in your nlp object. This means you’ll have to translate its contents and structure into a format that can be saved, like a file or a byte string. This process is called serialization. spaCy comes with built-in serialization methods and supports the Pickle protocol.
All container classes, i.e. Language (nlp), Doc, Vocab and StringStore have the following methods available:
to_bytesbytesdata = nlp.to_bytes()
Serializing the pipeline
When serializing the pipeline, keep in mind that this will only save out the binary data for the individual components to allow spaCy to restore them – not the entire objects. This is a good thing, because it makes serialization safe. But it also means that you have to take care of storing the language name and pipeline component names as well, and restoring them separately before you can load in the data.
bytes_data = nlp.to_bytes() lang = nlp.meta["lang"] # "en" pipeline = nlp.meta["pipeline"] # ["tagger", "parser", "ner"]
nlp = spacy.blank(lang) for pipe_name in pipeline: pipe = nlp.create_pipe(pipe_name) nlp.add_pipe(pipe) nlp.from_bytes(bytes_data)
This is also how spaCy does it under the hood when loading a model: it loads the model’s meta.json containing the language and pipeline information, initializes the language class, creates and adds the pipeline components and then loads in the binary data. You can read more about this process here.
Using Pickle
When pickling spaCy’s objects like the Doc or the EntityRecognizer, keep in mind that they all require the shared Vocab (which includes the string to hash mappings, label schemes and optional vectors). This means that their pickled representations can become very large, especially if you have word vectors loaded, because it won’t only include the object itself, but also the entire shared vocab it depends on.
If you need to pickle multiple objects, try to pickle them together instead of separately. For instance, instead of pickling all pipeline components, pickle the entire pipeline once. And instead of pickling several Doc objects separately, pickle a list of Doc objects. Since the all share a reference to the same Vocab object, it will only be included once.
Pickling objects with shared data
doc1 = nlp(u"Hello world") doc2 = nlp(u"This is a test") doc1_data = pickle.dumps(doc1) doc2_data = pickle.dumps(doc2) print(len(doc1_data) + len(doc2_data)) # 6636116 😞 doc_data = pickle.dumps([doc1, doc2])print(len(doc_data)) # 3319761 😃
Implementing serialization methods
When you call nlp.to_disk, nlp.from_disk or load a model package, spaCy will iterate over the components in the pipeline, check if they expose a to_disk or from_disk method and if so, call it with the path to the model directory plus the string name of the component. For example, if you’re calling nlp.to_disk("/path"), the data for the named entity recognizer will be saved in /path/ner.
If you’re using custom pipeline components that depend on external data – for example, model weights or terminology lists – you can take advantage of spaCy’s built-in component serialization by making your custom component expose its own to_disk and from_disk or to_bytes and from_bytes methods. When an nlp object with the component in its pipeline is saved or loaded, the component will then be able to serialize and deserialize itself. The following example shows a custom component that keeps arbitrary JSON-serializable data, allows the user to add to that data and saves and loads the data to and from a JSON file.
class CustomComponent(object):
name = "my_component"
def __init__(self): = []
def __call__(self, doc):
# Do something to the doc here
return doc
def add(self, data):
# Add something to the component's data
def to_disk(self, path): # This will receive the directory path + /my_component data_path = path / "data.json" with"w", encoding="utf8") as f: f.write(json.dumps(
def from_disk(self, path, **cfg): # This will receive the directory path + /my_component data_path = path / "data.json" with"r", encoding="utf8") as f: = json.loads(f) return self
After adding the component to the pipeline and adding some data to it, we can serialize the nlp object to a directory, which will call the custom component’s to_disk method.
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
my_component = CustomComponent()my_component.add({"hello": "world"})nlp.add_pipe(my_component)nlp.to_disk("/path/to/model")
The contents of the directory would then look like this. CustomComponent.to_disk converted the data to a JSON string and saved it to a file data.json in its subdirectory:
Directory structure
└── /path/to/model ├── my_component # data serialized by "my_component" | └── data.json ├── ner # data for "ner" component ├── parser # data for "parser" component ├── tagger # data for "tagger" component ├── vocab # model vocabulary ├── meta.json # model meta.json with name, language and pipeline └── tokenizer # tokenization rules
When you load the data back in, spaCy will call the custom component’s from_disk method with the given file path, and the component can then load the contents of data.json, convert them to a Python object and restore the component state. The same works for other types of data, of course – for instance, you could add a wrapper for a model trained with a different library like TensorFlow or PyTorch and make spaCy load its weights automatically when you load the model package.
Using entry points v2.1
When you load a model, spaCy will generally use the model’s meta.json to set up the language class and construct the pipeline. The pipeline is specified as a list of strings, e.g. "pipeline": ["tagger", "paser", "ner"]. For each of those strings, spaCy will call nlp.create_pipe and look up the name in the built-in factories. If your model wanted to specify its own custom components, you usually have to write to Language.factories before loading the model.
pipe = nlp.create_pipe("custom_component") # fails 👎
Language.factories["custom_component"] = CustomComponentFactory
pipe = nlp.create_pipe("custom_component") # works 👍
This is inconvenient and usually required shipping a bunch of component initialization code with the model. Using entry points, model packages and extension packages can now define their own "spacy_factories", which will be added to the built-in factories when the Language class is initialized. If a package in the same environment exposes spaCy entry points, all of this happens automatically and no further user action is required.
Custom components via entry points
For a quick and fun intro to entry points in Python, I recommend this excellent blog post. To stick with the theme of the post, consider the following custom spaCy extension which is initialized with the shared nlp object and will print a snake when it’s called as a pipeline component.
snek = """ --..,_ _,.--. `'.'. .'`__ o `;__. '.'. .'.'` '---'` ` '.`'--....--'`.' `'--....--'` """ class SnekFactory(object): def __init__(self, nlp, **cfg): self.nlp = nlp def __call__(self, doc): print(snek) return doc
Since it’s a very complex and sophisticated module, you want to split it off into its own package so you can version it and upload it to PyPi. You also want your custom model to be able to define "pipeline": ["snek"] in its meta.json. For that, you need to be able to tell spaCy where to find the factory for "snek". If you don’t do this, spaCy will raise an error when you try to load the model because there’s no built-in "snek" factory. To add an entry to the factories, you can now expose it in your via the entry_points dictionary:
from setuptools import setup setup( name="snek", entry_points={ "spacy_factories": [ "snek = snek:SnekFactory" ] } )
The entry point definition tells spaCy that the name snek can be found in the module snek (i.e. as SnekFactory. The same package can expose multiple entry points. To make them available to spaCy, all you need to do is install the package:
python develop
spaCy is now able to create the pipeline component 'snek':
>>> from spacy.lang.en import English
>>> nlp = English()
>>> snek = nlp.create_pipe("snek") # this now works! 🐍🎉
>>> nlp.add_pipe(snek)
>>> doc = nlp(u"I am snek")
--..,_ _,.--.
Arguably, this gets even more exciting when you train your en_core_snek_sm model. To make sure snek is installed with the model, you can add it to the model’s You can then tell spaCy to construct the model pipeline with the snek component by setting "pipeline": ["snek"] in the meta.json.
In theory, the entry point mechanism also lets you overwrite built-in factories – including the tokenizer. By default, spaCy will output a warning in these cases, to prevent accidental overwrites and unintended results.
Advanced components with settings
The **cfg keyword arguments that the factory receives are passed down all the way from spacy.load. This means that the factory can respond to custom settings defined when loading the model – for example, the style of the snake to load:
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_snek_sm", snek_style="cute")
SNEKS = {"basic": snek, "cute": cute_snek} # collection of sneks
class SnekFactory(object):
def __init__(self, nlp, **cfg):
self.nlp = nlp
self.snek_style = cfg.get("snek_style", "basic")
self.snek = SNEKS[self.snek_style]
def __call__(self, doc):

The factory can also implement other pipeline component like to_disk and from_disk for serialization, or even update to make the component trainable. If a component exposes a from_disk method and is included in a model’s pipeline, spaCy will call it on load. This lets you ship custom data with your model. When you save out a model using nlp.to_disk and the component exposes a to_disk method, it will be called with the disk path.
def to_disk(self, path):
snek_path = path / "snek.txt"
with"w", encoding="utf8") as snek_file:
def from_disk(self, path, **cfg):
snek_path = path / "snek.txt"
with"r", encoding="utf8") as snek_file:
self.snek =
return self
The above example will serialize the current snake in a snek.txt in the model data directory. When a model using the snek component is loaded, it will open the snek.txt and make it available to the component.
Custom language classes via entry points
To stay with the theme of the previous example and this blog post on entry points, let’s imagine you wanted to implement your own SnekLanguage class for your custom model – but you don’t necessarily want to modify spaCy’s code to add a language. In your package, you could then implement the following:
from spacy.language import Language from spacy.attrs import LANG class SnekDefaults(Language.Defaults): lex_attr_getters = dict(Language.Defaults.lex_attr_getters) lex_attr_getters[LANG] = lambda text: "snk" class SnekLanguage(Language): lang = "snk" Defaults = SnekDefaults # Some custom snek language stuff here
Alongside the spacy_factories, there’s also an entry point option for spacy_languages, which maps language codes to language-specific Language subclasses:
from setuptools import setup setup( name="snek", entry_points={ "spacy_factories": [ "snek = snek:SnekFactory" ] + "spacy_languages": [ + "sk = snek:SnekLanguage" + ] } )
In spaCy, you can then load the custom sk language and it will be resolved to SnekLanguage via the custom entry point. This is especially relevant for model packages, which could then specify "lang": "snk" in their meta.json without spaCy raising an error because the language is not available in the core library.
from spacy.util import get_lang_class
SnekLanguage = get_lang_class("snk")
nlp = SnekLanguage()
Saving, loading and distributing models
After training your model, you’ll usually want to save its state, and load it back later. You can do this with the Language.to_disk() method:
The directory will be created if it doesn’t exist, and the whole pipeline will be written out. To make the model more convenient to deploy, we recommend wrapping it as a Python package.
Generating a model package
spaCy comes with a handy CLI command that will create all required files, and walk you through generating the meta data. You can also create the meta.json manually and place it in the model data directory, or supply a path to it using the --meta flag. For more info on this, see the package docs.
python -m spacy package /home/me/data/en_example_model /home/me/my_models
This command will create a model package directory that should look like this:
Directory structure
└── / ├── # to include meta.json ├── meta.json # model meta data ├── # setup file for pip installation └── en_example_model # model directory ├── # init for pip installation └── en_example_model-1.0.0 # model data
You can also find templates for all files on GitHub. If you’re creating the package manually, keep in mind that the directories need to be named according to the naming conventions of lang_name and lang_name-version.
Customizing the model setup
The meta.json includes the model details, like name, requirements and license, and lets you customize how the model should be initialized and loaded. You can define the language data to be loaded and the processing pipeline to execute.
langunicodeID of the language class to initialize.
pipelinelistA list of strings mapping to the IDs of pipeline factories to apply in that order. If not set, spaCy’s default pipeline will be used.
The load() method that comes with our model package templates will take care of putting all this together and returning a Language object with the loaded pipeline and data. If your model requires custom pipeline components or a custom language class, you can also ship the code with your model. For examples of this, check out the implementations of spaCy’s load_model_from_init_py and load_model_from_path utility functions.
Building the model package
To build the package, run the following command from within the directory. For more information on building Python packages, see the docs on Python’s setuptools.
python sdist
This will create a .tar.gz archive in a directory /dist. The model can be installed by pointing pip to the path of the archive:
pip install /path/to/en_example_model-1.0.0.tar.gz
You can then load the model via its name, en_example_model, or import it directly as a module and then call its load() method.
Loading a custom model package
To load a model from a data directory, you can use spacy.load() with the local path. This will look for a meta.json in the directory and use the lang and pipeline settings to initialize a Language class with a processing pipeline and load in the model data.
nlp = spacy.load("/path/to/model")
If you want to load only the binary data, you’ll have to create a Language class and call from_disk instead.
nlp = spacy.blank("en").from_disk("/path/to/data")
How we’re training and packaging models for spaCy
Publishing a new version of spaCy often means re-training all available models, which is quite a lot. To make this run smoothly, we’re using an automated build process and a spacy train template that looks like this:
python -m spacy train {lang} {models_dir}/{name} {train_data} {dev_data} -m meta/{name}.json -V {version} -g {gpu_id} -n {n_epoch} -ns {n_sents}
In a directory meta, we keep meta.json templates for the individual models, containing all relevant information that doesn’t change across versions, like the name, description, author info and training data sources. When we train the model, we pass in the file to the meta template as the --meta argument, and specify the current model version as the --version argument.
On each epoch, the model is saved out with a meta.json using our template and added properties, like the pipeline, accuracy scores and the spacy_version used to train the model. After training completion, the best model is selected automatically and packaged using the package command. Since a full meta file is already present on the trained model, no further setup is required to build a valid model package.
python -m spacy package -f {best_model} dist/
cd dist/{model_name}
python sdist
This process allows us to quickly trigger the model training and build process for all available models and languages, and generate the correct meta data automatically. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '29', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.7742441892623901}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '207661', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:L7UPTXUWZCRN467WUD763N2Y5KGPMV7Q', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d1998354-c32d-41d8-b862-55dd8e435ffa>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 22, 10, 48, 50), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.248.120.187', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:TVHJMUHFXBYY6IFCWLYJ5JIE6AXWRUFJ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1b170f12-fd20-448e-ac56-844df3a7c0e4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://spacy.io/usage/saving-loading/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:de892304-94cc-400b-872d-c7b26d087d71>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '2331', 'url': 'https://spacy.io/usage/saving-loading/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-18\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-141-34-30.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08260315656661987', 'original_id': 'c130e70b2dea633fd01fb8b46a58616d5454adfc9d747167696c2068b9f6ddfe'} |
What The Duck – Thoughts On Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence. Human-programmed algorithms that are designed to allow machines to learn from the environment and improve the outcome of those algorithms over time based on what they learn. It is a great idea and may will point to things like voice-enabled search technology and self driving cars as two indicators that true AI is not that far off. I disagree.
Don’t get me wrong. I love technology. The hardware and software we use today is light years ahead of the gadgets we got to play with just a few years ago. You can’t even compare what I started with back in the early 80s. Fundamentally the same, but more different than alike. And yes, computer “intelligence” is vastly improved over teletype terminal and punch-card days.
But it is far from intelligent.
Take auto-correct for example. How many people do you know that actually use the phrase “what the duck” on a regular basis? I personally know exactly ZERO. I know dozens of people that drop “WTF”. Yet tens-of-millions of people type “what the fuck” into their phones daily while every predictive typing and autocorrect algorithm INSIST they meant “what the duck”. No matter what you do it will replace that one important “f” with a “d” EVERY TIME until you employ human intelligence to forcibly override that behavior.
Those predictive and autocorrect algorithms may not be built on full AI stacks, but they have certainly been drinking from the same knowledge pool. The fact that they may not be based on a true AI engine speaks volumes about how far we are from everyday usability of Artificial Intelligence and just how intelligent it really is. In some very select applications it is astounding what AI can do, but in the real world it is far closer to that first “Lisa” chat bot than it is to Skynet.
Maybe there will come a day when autocorrect will stop being the punch line to millions of memes. Maybe, just maybe, when that day comes I may re-evaluate Artificial Intelligence and start to worry that a sentient computer neural network, and thus Skynet, is not far behind. For now, I’m not going to worry about it.

What Is Our Heritage of Gurus?
Path to Siva Commentary, Lesson 36
"Since the beginning of time, the power, or shakti, of God Siva has been carried forth by enlightened beings, satgurus." Spiritual progress is achieved through abhyasa, daily practice, and vairagya, dispassion. Dispassion is being detached enough to be getting happiness from inside ourself not outside from the world. Control awareness; find and claim joyousness and peace every day in all environments. "Naam ariyom-We do not know." When we get really deep inside to find the deepest truth it can not be explained.
Path to Siva, Lesson 36.
Unedited Transcript:
I was asked recently at a darshan session, we're having lots of darshan sessions this time of year, there's one every day this phase. And: "What's the most important advice you could give us all?" I think it was a group of about 12 or so, very large family. "What's the most important advice you could give us all?" And as many of you know one of my favorite pieces of advice is daily practice. That I really became aware of it when working with a group of Hindu university students. The Hindu Students Association, headquartered in Texas and in some of the, it's also in some of the states surrounding Texas.
And I was working with the original group for maybe about four years so I got to know them. And it's very interesting, I think I learned more from them than they learned from me but such is the nature of teaching. And one of the things I learned from them is that here they were in the university, for 4,6,8 years, and almost all of them had no daily practice. They weren't practicing Hinduism. And there was a sincere group, because, right in the middle of the school year they would take two days off every February to, I'm glad I'm not going this February, there's a lot of snow out there. Take two days off in February for a weekend retreat and very serious about studying Hinduism. So they were very serious about being Hindus and but still they had no daily practice. Almost all of them. And they weren't going to a temple, most of them, because usually there's no temple near the university within walking distance, so here for 4,6,8 years they're not practicing anything. What happened?
In India it's common to take up a practice in the teenage years, that's the time it's traditionally done, receive some type of upanayanam, receive Gayatri Mantra, some people do sandhyavandanam, daily practice is taken up but somehow that part of Hinduism didn't move to the U.S. or Canada. Stayed in India. So we got beautiful temples, wonderful priests, great philosophy but somehow the emphasis on practice has been left behind.
To emphasize the importance of practice I always use the Hindu classical dance cause everyone understands that. What do you have to do to be a good dancer? And everyone knows the answer and the answer is practice, of course. So its not just practice, it's daily practice. That to master dance you have to work at it every single day. So spiritual progress is even more subtle than dance. Therefore requires more consistency to really make progress.
We came out with our App. These days if it doesn't exist on a digital device, for many people it doesn't exist. What we experience is limited to what comes over our smart phone or our tablet. So we're getting our, Gurudeva's teachings, more in that world and one of the [consequences??] our spiritual workout. The Publisher's Desk is called a ten minute spiritual workout but the App. is just called spiritual workout. And it's very popular for our type of material. Thousands of people are using it. And it's trying to make it easy to remember to do at least ten minutes. That's our starting goal, just a ten minute practice until one finishes university. And then after university we suggest expanding it to half an hour which is the amount of practice Gurudeva suggests in the Master Course Trilogy, says: Start with half an hour. And of course for those who are initiated we're up to an hour.
I was recollecting once, when Gurudeva first started the three hour vigil for monks back in, somewhere in the 1970's, right? I imagine early in the 1970's. He also asked the family people to do it. Can you believe that? Family people were doing three hours a day vigil. Life must not have been as busy then. I don't know. Well the family people managed three hours a day but they had a balanced life worksheet. They had to fill it in every week and send it in. Three hours a day vigil, half an hour a day exercise, so on and so forth. Then Gurudeva reduced it to an hour and that was a big relief I'm sure. Three hours is great if you're retired. But otherwise it's too much in today's busy world.
Okay well we got past our time to start.
Reading today from Path to Siva, Lesson 36.
"What Is Our Heritage of Gurus?
"Since the beginning of time, the power, or shakti, of God Siva has been carried forth by enlightened beings, satgurus. That power is like a brilliant ray of spiritual energy. Many of these masters trained other great souls and passed on their power to them. As this happened again and again for thousands of years, many chains of gurus, called parampara, were formed. Our lineage is called the Kailasa Parampara. It means the lineage from Siva's Himalayan mountain, Kailas. It began thousands of years ago. The first master that history records is Maharishi Nandinatha (ca 250 bce). He passed his power to Rishi Tirumular, a sage who wrote a yoga text called Tirumantiram. After him, over 150 rishis carried the shakti of Siva forward, their names lost to history. In the 19th century, a nameless Himalayan rishi of this lineage traveled to Bengaluru in South India. There he passed the thread of power to Kadaitswami (1804-1891) and sent him to Sri Lanka to strengthen Saivism there. Kadaitswami passed his power to Sage Chellappaswami (1840-1964). He in turn initiated Satguru Yogaswami. In 1949, Yogaswami ordained our Guru, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001). Gurudeva brought Saivism to the West and established Kauai Aadheenam, his monastery, on the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 1970. In 2001 he initiated Bodhinatha Veylanswami as his successor. The power from all previous gurus and the blessings of the devas that assist them abide in the current preceptor."
And we have Gurudeva's quote here:
"Hindu temples sustain Hinduism around the world. Scriptures keep us always reminded of the path we are on and the path we are supposed to be on, but only from the satguru can you get the spirit, the shakti, the sustaining spirit, to make it all come to life in you, to make the temple meaningful and to complement the scriptures with your own sight, your own third-eye sight."
As you know we have a Yogaswami Shrine in our Guru Temple and we have "Words of Our Master" there. Every day I go over and read one verse of "Words of Our Master" to see what Yogaswami's wisdom is for the day. And this was his wisdom, last day of the last phase.
"There is happiness when we look inwards and unhappiness when we look outwards. But the Truth is present in the unhappiness as well as in the happiness. The changing universe keeps on changing all the time. That which causes the change and remains unchanged, That is the truth."
Well, that's similar to what we read the last lesson, was talking about sat. Satguru, sat is the truth. Asat is that which changes and sat is that which doesn't change.
That first phrase there, there is happiness when we look inwards, we all know that. But it's easy to forget it. Easy for life to take away the happiness that we can get from going within. There's a verse in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras which gives two items we need to do to make progress toward samadhi. Abhyasa which is practice, which we talked about, and vairagya or dispassion. When we take vairagya to the extreme then we have a sannyasa. So that's not what we want to do when we're not a sannyasin, right? That's going too far.
So what's the right amount of vairagya or dispassion for someone who's a householder? Well to me it's this idea said another way. Vairagya means we're not looking for happiness outside of our self. That's vairagya. We're not, we're detached enough from the world not to be looking to the world to make us happy. So vairagya's detachment from the world. So in this case we're detached enough to not be trying to get happiness outside of our self, from other people, from money, from anything in the world. We're getting the happiness from inside our self. So that's what Yogaswami's saying. There is happiness when we look inwards.
Gurudeva has a phrase that echoes a similar message. "Life is meant to be lived joyously."
Again, it's easy to know that but to forget to do it. So we need to claim it every day and a couple of times a day too. "Life is meant to be lived joyously." We don't realize that we have an ability to control our awareness sometimes when we get into the midst of challenging times but it's there. And similar to that idea of peace. Many people when they come here, one of the things they say as besides the temple has really powerful vibration is: "Oh this is such a peaceful place. It's so wonderful. I feel so peaceful here." Well that's good. Come here and you feel peaceful. But we need to learn to find the peace even inside ourselves even when it's not peaceful on the outside. That's the harder part. You know, in the midst of a really big city with all this activity it's easy to get tense and stressed. We need to be able to find the peace there as well. That's under stage two of peace.
So, Gurudeva's telling us life is meant to be lived joyously and that means in all environments, not just a peaceful environment. We need to be able to find it wherever we are and it's inside of us. We can learn to control our awareness.
Then there's one more message I was grabbing from the gurus. And it's the idea, Chellappaswami says: "Naam ariyom" which means: We do not know. And it's an interesting idea. Usually the goal is to learn something early. So you get a new computer and you read the manual and you've learned. You're able to explain the computer very well. So in that case you know, you know all about the computer. But Chellappaswami's saying: We do not know. So what's he trying to say? Well he's trying to say that you know, we can explain what's inside of us, what we experience up to a certain point. We can say: Well I go inside and I see a brilliant inner light. Okay. That's good. But when we get really deep inside you can't explain it. So we do not know.
Yogaswami had a similar idea. He said: "Even the great Shankara couldn't explain the Truth." And of course Gurudeva says: "The Self, you can't explain it."
So it is very interesting the similarities in the teachings. You don't have a lot of teachings from Chellappaswami for mahavakyam. And stories and all but even the small amount we have you can see the similarities in the way the gurus explain things. They don't try and explain the deepest truth; they just try and lead you there. And then you need to experience it and then you won't be able to explain it either. I went there, I experienced it; what can you tell me about it, right? Nothing. Well is it worth experiencing? Yes but... So the deepest truth can't be experienced and therefore, what does that logically mean? Well it means we're not trying to be super-intellectuals about the deepest experiences. We're not trying to explain it, you know, either by quoting someone else's writings or by creating our own writings. We're not trying to explain the unexplainable. Just trying to help those who are sincere figure out where to go to experience it.
So thank you very much for listening. We'll close the live streaming, it's called.

Q:
Android SQLite Database, creating the database and DDMS perspective
For my internship I'm working on an Android application, and trying to get a local database running to set up for offline referal as well as preventing new BasicAuth requests and a required database pull every time the user returns to a certain activity. To achieve this, I'm trying to set up a SQLite database, but things are not really working out.
I'm currently using this tutorial to try and set up the database. For my application specifically I edited the MySQLiteHelper and TicketsDataSource classes.
MySQLiteHelper:
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.util.Log;
public class MySQLiteHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
public static final String TABLE_TICKETS = "tickets";
public static final String COLUMN_ID = "_id";
public static final String COLUMN_TICKET_ID = "ticketId";
public static final String COLUMN_TICKET_TITLE = "ticketTitle";
public static final String COLUMN_PROJECT_NAME = "projectName";
public static final String COLUMN_CLIENT_NAME = "clientName";
public static final String COLUMN_TICKET_DESCRIPTION = "ticketDescription";
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "commments.db";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
// Database creation SQL statement
private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table "
+ TABLE_TICKETS
+ "("
+ COLUMN_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, "
+ COLUMN_TICKET_ID + " text not null, "
+ COLUMN_TICKET_TITLE+ " text not null, "
+ COLUMN_PROJECT_NAME+ " text not null, "
+ COLUMN_CLIENT_NAME+ " text not null, "
+ COLUMN_TICKET_DESCRIPTION+ " text not null);";
public MySQLiteHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
Log.w(MySQLiteHelper.class.getName(),
"Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "
+ newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_TICKETS);
onCreate(db);
}
}

In my activity, I then call the TicketsDataSource class by first defining it:
private TicketsDataSource datasource;
And then calling it from an if-statement that checks if the server has been called succesfully already:
else {
datasource = new TicketsDataSource(this);
datasource.open();
}
Unfortunately, when I switch to the DDMS view, I can't see any database being created after I run the application multiple times. In fact, I can't even see any other folders within the main "data" folder in the DDMS view. I'm not getting any error messages (except for an 'eglSurfaceAttrib not implemented', which seems to be irrelevant after some searching on google) at this moment, but when I place a system print in the onCreate function of the MySQLiteHelper class, it does not print anything in the log (it does appear in the else-statement). I'm not sure if my Java-code is faulty, or if there's something wrong with my general setup.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dennis
A:
You'll only be able to see files/folders in the /data folder if you're
a: using the emulator, or
b: using a rooted phone. Those are protected folders and can't be viewed by mere mortals.
The real test of what you've written is this - can you write to and read from the database?

The Great Canal is a canal that bypasses Waterfall City and re-joins the Polongo River below the waterfalls. This is possibly used by boats that obviously cannot go up or down the water falls. Also the Great Canal is used to divert the Polongo River every century or so, so that the bottom of the cliffs, behind the waterfalls, can be rebuilt so that Waterfall City doesn't fall down. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9384779334068298}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '211723', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:4Y3ZBJVJL4S54VPR7VJ4CY2MSAX5DAEW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6f1348c8-71aa-4074-af0f-6b23d24f658c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 25, 5, 24, 33), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.64.194', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OOTIVBNFPLZOMBAMGMN7PFQI6QI444Z5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:6c59488c-42b2-4643-b946-945f20a389f4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://dinotopia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Great_Canal', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:4e83e375-d383-4b03-bb8d-f5a2fd46fba9>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '71', 'url': 'http://dinotopia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Great_Canal', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-99-181-180.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-13\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.09351259469985962', 'original_id': '9d9d59be8234c370b7f6dc10e6ee8b6d5703ed45a0c0594b50669b4a1069086c'} |
Eclipse Animation
A Lunar Eclipse Animation
This animation illustrates a total lunar eclipse as the Moon passes through the umbra of the Earth's shadow. Distances are not to scale, and we have idealized the illustration by fixing the Earth in space relative to the Sun. In reality, the Earth will be in motion around its orbit as the Moon moves around the Earth. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9316703677177428}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '1288', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:6VF7Y5GMKZUWJKX76W5DB4UZPTDYDNSC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a30237a8-ce82-42e1-a4a1-86150a4f0a77>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 3, 11, 21, 58, 38), 'WARC-IP-Address': '160.36.28.37', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7F4V74QOY53SPZB57SJNBCADISEXLIUG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0538734b-f1f0-4652-b654-b685d14db4d8>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/time/lunar_anim.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:75205a73-085f-46f1-8469-5fe59ddb2ed2>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '64', 'url': 'http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/time/lunar_anim.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-10\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for March 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.9111330509185791', 'original_id': 'c93a2d3c3833a93eb3c6a10cc029bae494d4b307e117999c934e43b3ff53ee08'} |
With the signing of the petition, the Tribune, January 8, 1887, publishes the following: Published every Wednesday evening by the Tribune Publishing Company. Editor, 24 East Avenue, Telephone 4104, To the Editor, The Tribune was founded in 1888. It stands in the front rank of Rhode Island papers. Communications from readers are always welcome, but every case is welcome. The Tribune is the friend and advocate of the Massachusetts, possessing a large circulation. An recognized everywhere as a most valuable advertising medium. Subscription Price: One Year, $5.00; Six Months, $3.50; One Year, $5.00. During the month of December shows a net gain of 5 percent in copies sold, over the same month, one year ago. An important fact, that should be considered by advertisers. Providence Opera House—8 p.m., "Because She Loved Him So," Pawtucket Opera House—8 p.m., "Gayest Manhattan." An invalid who requires a cure. Chenge of elimate don't have to leave Pawtucket in order to obtain it. On the dead, do you really enjoy reading the disgusting political chestnuts dished up by the Sunday papers? The polygamist Congressman, Brigham, Roberts, is not the first man to owe his prominence before the public to his wife, or wives. From indications of "points raised," and the amount of talking being done before the fight, it would not be surprising if the Sharkey-McCoy bout proved a draw. The recent gyrations of the weather tempt us to say that, if the extremes could be deftly blended into one equable whole, our climate would be practically perfect. Can Congress expel a man for having more than one wife? If so, consider what kind of a wife he should have; or expel him for having "lady friends?" We hauled down the Lone Star of Texas and ran up the Stars and Stripes. Shall we do the same with Cuba? We promised, otherwise, in the solemn promise of the United States good? The "hired girl's union" has come at last, and has threatened to sweep over the land like a withering simoon, drying up our sources of food supply and leaving desolation in our stomachs. Either the Boston papers should have more accurate correspondents in this region, or those correspondents should get their own news, or the Mule Spipners' Association should have more careful officers, or else there will be suffering among mill operatives before they know where they are "at." How fortunes do shrink! Scranton Brice was reputed to be worth at the lowest, ten million dollars; and it was said—and appearances so indicate. That high family living cost him £150,000 per year. Now, it is set forth by the executrix that the estate consists only of personal property valued at six hundred thousand dollars. Natoral gas is such a clean, convenient form of fuel and has so many advantages over coal that dwellers in regions not supplied with it are apt to be a little envious of those whose location enables them to use it. But when an explosion like that at Lima, Ohio, deprives a dozen towns of all their heat and light just at the time when both are needed, or when, as often happens, a severe cold wave freezes up the pipes with the same effect, the people who have coal to burn find they are not so badly off after all. ABOLISH THE ONLY OLIGARCHY, The Senate appropriations committee approaches, in its practically unlimited power, too nearly to an oligarchy to suit the self-governor's spirit of the American people, and the revived movement to take away some of its power by dividing up its authority among a number of committees will have the popular approval, if successful, the change will not only be beneficial in itself, but it will be an inroad on the fixed conservatism which may lead to other greatly needed reforms in that body, conspicuous among which is the custom of scuatorial courtesy, which enables one man to control the whole body under certain of recurring circumstances. “WARDS OF THE GOVERNMENT.” If the United States government is going into the business. Of paying off the Cuban army, should not such expenditure and all similar expenditures be made a direct charge upon the revenue receipts of the island? It is stated from Washington that our government has decided to advance £100 to each member of the insurgent army. We are also to undertake extensive sanitary and internal improvements. Yet the money, it seems, is all to come from the pockets of American taxpayers, who have already contributed several hundred millions of dollars to the work of freeing Cuba. There is no talk of reimbursement. We are to make the Cubans “wards of the government,” like the Indians. This is a charitable proceeding, but we have ample scope for the exercise of charity at home. In spite of the era of prosperity inaugurated by Major McKinley and Mr. Dingley, there are a great many thousands of people in this country to whom $100 would be a fortune, if we have money to give away, let it be to our own people. If you men of many business cares want to make your home life sweet and beautiful, why not get apart one day in the week to be devoted entirely to the entertainment of your family? And what better day could be chosen than Sunday, usually, the dullest day of the week. Of course, you should go to church at least once the first day of the week, if for no other reason than because it is restful as well as instructive. And be sure and take the mistress and the little ones along. Then comes the Sunday dinner, followed by a season of sociability in which the young people are permitted to freely participate. Have you a piano, or other musical instrument in the house? Perhaps one of the little girls can play a little, or it may be the Mrs. who will furnish the accompaniments, while you all sing and well into the twilight. Then comes a lovely spell of quiet talk. Had you noticed before what good conversationalists the young people are developing into? I know a man of active throughout the six days of the week that his fellow. Lowe looked upon him as one irretrievably wedded to dollars and cents and cannot conceive of any great amount of sentiment being found in his make. NATURAL OAS FUEL. Up. Dut on Sunday to see him in the midst of his pretty home, in the bosom of his little family, whose every member regards him as "just about what the doctor ordered," is a source of unqualified delight. He says it gives him untold faith and strength to weaken the shoulders of the ensuing week. Anyone who has ridden much on an electric car in Pawtucket cannot fail to have been struck by the accuracy with which the motorman uses the rod with which he turns a switch. Without stopping the car, he leans over the dashboard, rod poised, and at just the right instant enters its wedge in the narrow space between the rails of the switch, gives it a turn and then hangs the rod back on the rail as complacently as though no skill had been required by the operation. Sometimes, of course, he misses and has to back the car, but it is wonderfully seldom. Long practice has resulted in almost absolute accuracy in an operation which a novice would find exceedingly difficult. It is strange, by the way, that there is no mechanical appliance for electric cars for throwing a switch. It would seem to be a simple thing to devise a point cut by a lever which should follow the switch and the trick with less exertion and less of speed than is involved at present. He was only a fanatic, of course—a crank in the parlance of today. To himself, no doubt. He seemed an heroic and worthy successor of the prophet of other days, as of the line of those who have been martyred in the cause for which he labored. He was straight and tall, and even though his clothes were gashabby, his bearing was impressive as he stepped into the crowded barroom and, taking a stand in the midst of the floor, began to sing. Where is my wandering boy tonight? The box of my tenderest carve. For a moment the drinking, laughing, and calls for the waiter stopped as all turned to look at the visitor. One of the bartenders, quick to grasp the situation, went up to the man and said: "You'll have to leave here, sir, we can't have this." But the man did not obey him. The song went on: "The boy who was once my joy and pride." Then the waiter, seeing that words were of no avail, took the man by the shoulders and pushed him, though not roughly, toward the door. He did not resist, but without looking at the faces of any of those in the room continued his song, and as the inner doors of the entry closed behind him there could be heard the words: "My heart o'erflows for I love him he knows." "Oh, where is my boy tonight." For an instant no one in the bar room spoke. Then somebody said: "Well, what tell," and the drinking and laughing began again. For, of course, he was only a fanatic. To most children it seems hard to have only one birthday and one Christmas in a year. But there is one young lady in Pawtucket, the daughter of a prominent city official, whose last birthday occurred in 1836 and whose next will be five years from now. The day of her birth was February 29. The year is none of the most dear reader's business. Since every hundred years there is an interval of eight years, that is, seven successive years in which February has only 28 days, it follows. That there must be an equal period between celebrations of her natal day. This is indeed a hardship, but she has some company in her misery, for she has a cousin, the daughter of her mother’s twin sister, who, strange to say, was also born on February 20. and Liquors at the AMERICAN near Main St. Our prices CAN GROCERY AND TEA CO., 73 to 85 East Ave., are the lowest in New England, quality considered.

This Is Just Too Much. My Human Is Cheating On ME!
Well, I think I've told you all that one of my humans is off in a place called Ohio with my grandhumans. Supposedly one of the grandhumnas needed help but now I know that was all a ruse and I've got the pictures to prove it.
What kind of human goes off and cheats on the most special dog in the world? And then send pictures of the affair? I'm barkless.
Here is homewrecker #1. His name is Beau and I don't care how freakin cute anyone thinks he is!
Oh and now here is homewrecker #2. This is Dion. And Just look THEY went for a CAR RIDE! Like that isn't my most favorite thing in the world. Do you think I've been for a car ride lately? NO! But you just go off and drive around with other dogs.
Oh, here, just in case you didn't think this one was cute enough in the other picture. Now you can see his amazing blue eyes. Like I care about his lousy eyes.
And here I sit among the leaves. All alone. Sad and dejected. I don't even care if the human ever comes back from Ohio.
Oh not that it makes any difference that those dogs are my cousins and they were both homeless. Cheating is cheating and if you smell like another dog you are a cheater.
1. Well, we do have a little weakness for those blue eyes.
2. Hoover, that sucks! Be sure to give them cold shoulder when they get home!
3. And when my mom goes off and does that to me she has the nerve to come home and say "Don't forget where YOU came from..." when I cop an attitude about it. I thought we were supposed to forget about where we came from. Like "today is the first day of the rest of your life..." I so feel your pain Hoover.
4. Hoover we are sick for you. Can you imagine! What is the human mom thinkin. She better bring you lots of treats
Benny & Lily
5. Hi, Hoover!
Don't worry! You are the # 1!
Kisses and hugs
6. I'm with The Herd!
I don't have them but they make my mom get all gooey!
I do think they'll be bakhk - after all, they've made KHWITE the investment in woo!
PeeEssWoo: They do look like furry nice khanine furamily members!
7. I agree - it's just wrong. If that is your car they are in, I would never get in it again, at least not until it's professionally cleaned, with steam..
your pal, Morgan
8. Mango weeps. That is just about the saddest post I ever read.
9. ohh poor hoover, just hope they have a wash before they gets home so you at least dont have to smell thems other doggies
10. Oh HOover!! They will come home I am sure of it! And perhaps bring you something special! Happy Halloween!
11. I'm with you Hoover. It's just wrong. And you've got exactly the right idea because looking all sad and dejected will make them feel soooo bad, and then you'll get ALL the tensions when they get home.
12. Hoover - your cousins may be cute but you are way cuter. I'm sure your human will be back, all contrite.
Cheers, Hamish.
13. Hoover! I am so sad to read this post. Your hooman will be back, sure!
14. Awww, poor sweet Hoover. :-( I am sure your two-legger will try to make it up to you when they get home!
But I gotta admit, those eyes sure are gorgeous. ;-)
15. Hoover that is not cool, I'm right there with ya bud!
PS. Mom says they are cute!
16. *sniffles* That's so sad... Not only did they leave you but to come back smelling like other dogs? Horrible! That's happened to me a couple of times now. I feel your pain!
17. Hoover..
Practice your pouty face .. you need to give them the biggest guilt trip ever. So what if those heart breakers are very cute.. it's just plain wrong. I got your back. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '3', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9745842814445496}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '122441', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VGMF4YSNSTCBLCDNJR2YUBEMMGM3CHIR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:66be7f9a-882e-412a-af3a-f23c6e8f5dd9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 23, 10, 53, 22), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.161', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:FMURBBIC2TEKCDBG5MPBJP33XGRUN2ZX', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0355fd2a-6ecb-43c3-b5da-5e32f101575f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://hooverbatterypowereddog.blogspot.com/2009/10/this-is-just-too-much-my-human-is.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a3bc4cdb-7660-4c5a-b1cc-f58128eb9199>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '719', 'url': 'http://hooverbatterypowereddog.blogspot.com/2009/10/this-is-just-too-much-my-human-is.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-185-224-210.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-22\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06822144985198975', 'original_id': '8691727a059fdaa90adc686ca0ff957c2fa3797c482cbc43f24a2ecb38a1da23'} |

This scenario explores how to allow multiple containers to communicate with each other. The steps will explain how to connect a data-store, in this case, Redis, to an application running in a separate container.
This environment has been configured with a Docker client and daemon. The machine name the Docker daemon is running on is called docker. If you want to access any of the services, then use docker instead of localhost or
In this scenario we've explored how Docker links work and how you can connect and communicate between two containers. You can use the same approach to connect multiple containers together.
Communicating Between Containers
Step 1 of 4
Step 1 - Start Redis
The most common scenario for connecting to containers is an application connecting to a data-store. The key aspect when creating a link is the name of the container. All containers have names, but to make it easier when working with links, it's important to define a friendly name of the source container which you're connecting to.
Start Data Store
Run a redis server with a friendly name of redis-server which we'll connect to in the next step. This will be our source container.
docker run -d --name redis-server redis
Redis is a fast, open source, key-value data store. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8753917217254639}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '42579', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:AYNK6BRX62PKI4M54XBW7AGSDMAJVEHP', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c5da7a10-23ab-40d4-aaed-002681cc4e77>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 12, 8, 23, 38, 8), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.28.5.61', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PBCAUQIHVZEELQVTYP43RCO45O4KSVHI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:06181b1c-d928-483c-86ae-a92c2b9d43ea>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.katacoda.com/courses/docker/5', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:3f26a5ec-d156-4281-a5db-202bd49d017c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '217', 'url': 'https://www.katacoda.com/courses/docker/5', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-206.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.4620439410209656', 'original_id': '3e88bf193ac67ec2f1b356cf907499cba66ee1d17bf65161066277b825216bcb'} |

Q:
Getting python dictionary item that has min value in a namedtupple
In Python 3, I have a dictionary of namedtuples and I want to get the dictionary item that has the tuple with smallest (min) value for a given attribute.
For example, given:
Named = collections.namedtuple('Named', ['A', 'B'])
named = {'id1': Named(9, 5), 'id2': Named(5, 4), 'id3': Named(7, 3)}
I might want to get the minimum of B, which would be
'id3': Named(7, 3)
If this was a list, I would do
min(named, key=operator.attrgetter('B'))
But, I'm having difficulty getting something similar to work with a dictionary.
A:
Use named.values():
import collections
import operator
Named = collections.namedtuple('Named', ['A', 'B'])
named = {'id1': Named(9, 5), 'id2': Named(5, 4), 'id3': Named(7, 3)}
print(min(named.values(), key=operator.attrgetter('B')))
Prints:
Named(A=7, B=3)
A:
>>> min(named.values(), key=lambda x: x.B)
Named(A=7, B=3)
Or
>>> import operator
>>> min(named.values(), key=operator.attrgetter('B'))
Named(A=7, B=3)

Ubisoft Urges Customers To Change Password After Security Breach
Video game publisher and developer Ubisoft revealed Tuesday it discovered a massive data breach of its systems that exposed customer data, including account credentials tied to millions of its users. The breach is part of longstanding and widespread attack campaigns to steal account credentials, security experts told CRN.
The passwords were encrypted, Gary Steinman, communications manager at Ubisoft, wrote in a company blog post announcing the breach. As a precautionary measure, the firm, which has approximately 58 million users, reset user accounts and sent emails to users urging them to choose another password, according to the July 2 post, which also noted that no credit or debit card information had been compromised.
"It's important to note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, so fortunately all credit/debit card information was safe from this intrusion," Steinman wrote.
[Related: Microsoft To Fix Critical Errors, Windows Zero-Day Flaw]
Ubisoft did not respond to CRN's request for comment. The company released an FAQ Wednesday informing users about the breach; however, for security reasons, no specifics could be stated, according to the FAQ.
"At the end of the day, [cybercriminals] are trying to make money and to take that simpler route to get customer data," said George Tubin, senior security strategist of Boston-based security firm Trusteer.
The Ubisoft breach is one in a lengthy line of data security breaches that involve stolen usernames and passwords. Last year, hackers stole more than 6 million LinkedIn customer passwords that were hashed but not salted, making it easier for attackers to crack the protection with automated tools. In April, LivingSocial, an online shopping deals site with 50 million customers, announced a data security breach exposing millions of its customer passwords. In the following months, social networking company Twitter and cloud storage service provider Evernote were also forced to reset user passwords following data security breaches.
Tubin said the reason for the more frequent attacks is due to the ease with which hackers can capture a user's account credentials.
"It's really not difficult to do. Especially where there is combined personal information, it becomes particularly more sensitive," said Tubin.
Account credential data breaches can be detrimental to people who reuse passwords for multiple accounts or have similar passwords to other accounts, said Wade Williamson, security analyst of Palo Alto Networks, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based network security company.
"From the end-users perspective, there is more of a concern about using a similar password on the Internet," Williamson said. "If you do what a lot of us do and reuse similar themed passwords, things can get dicey. You will have to go out and have to change many passwords for accounts."
While businesses can use hashing to protect data, a process known as "salting" makes cracking passwords more difficult. Salting is essentially attaching a series of random digits to the end of each hashed password.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a more influential band that got none of the attention they deserved than the one and only Trouble. In the American scene, Trouble is as much a part of the foundation of heavy metal as any other band. Their first two albums laid the blueprint for doom on this side of the pond, while their self-titled reinvention not only served as a cornerstone for all the groove and stoner metal that followed, but it stands as one of the truly great heavy metal albums ever made. No band has ever made guitars sound heavier than Trouble. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9727513194084167}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '16740', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XAG3ZPDKC5QJBKHZHRP2R2UJGXAZPDEJ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b709a45f-434a-42d3-aed3-bc33d5679cf3>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2016, 7, 30, 3, 40), 'WARC-IP-Address': '129.121.133.196', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WIJA6I4CFEQMXTTVRK3XH3X5DOMMUPFE', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:152c7927-da51-4cd5-8439-e3334c994a47>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/category/free-tagging/trouble', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b836d96b-1bbc-4f01-bb8a-a87ab0a467ba>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '107', 'url': 'http://bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/category/free-tagging/trouble', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2016-30\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2016\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.12127691507339478', 'original_id': 'e0bd997ed817bed594b0604bff8f47399e80e8235074881aeb69a49f79105ec9'} |

COVID-19 has a few uncommon symptoms like dampening your sense of taste and smell. Indeed, loss of smell is often one of the first symptoms of infection. But COVID-19 affects more than just your sense of smell and taste. New discoveries are uncovering an unusual, but longer-term issue: irreversible sensorineural hearing loss.
How Can COVID-19 Result In Hearing Loss?
Every day scientists are learning more with regards to COVID-19. But there’s still a lot we don’t understand. The virus itself was only first discovered in late 2019. New pathogens normally take years or decades for scientists to identify. And COVIC-19 is particularly challenging because it impacts different people in different ways.
There are lots of symptoms you can suffer from. And one of those symptoms is irreversible hearing loss. Why this happens is still not known. It could be something called “cellular stress” caused by the virus. Certain cells (such as the cells in your ear) will start to breakdown, according to this theory, because the virus places so much strain on the body. But your body’s own immune response may also be responsible for this kind of hearing loss. Significant damage can be done to your body when your immune system goes into overdrive.
Also, when other COVID symptoms are almost gone, this hearing loss can still become apparent. Again, we aren’t quite certain why this happens. We are also clueless why it’s more or less likely to occur.
Is There Any Treatment For This Type of Hearing Loss?
Permanent sensorineural hearing loss is possible as a result of COVID-19. Naturally, there are many variables, and there are a few treatments, also. It’s already been discovered that early steroid treatments seem to help protect your hearing from added damage. If you do experience sudden loss of hearing, you need to talk to a doctor.
Either way, once you’ve completely recovered from your COVID-19 situation, it may be a good move to visit us and have a hearing test.
There are a couple of qualifiers to all of this that should be pointed out. First of all, hearing loss does appear to be a fairly uncommon symptom of COVID. We don’t know yet how common this particular symptom is yet. But it’s likely that the science on COVID will keep updating and changing as scientists discover more.
Can COVID Related Hearing Loss be Prevented?
Presently, if you already have COVID, you should let us or your doctor know right away if you have any sudden change to your hearing. Long-term hearing loss can be minimized by rapid response.
Try to stay healthy: The best way to prevent COVID-related hearing loss is to do everything possible to steer clear of contracting COVID in the first place. This means sticking with guidelines in regards to social gatherings, physical distancing, and wearing a mask.
This symptom does occur though it’s rare. And the more insight you have about COVID and hearing loss, the better. It’s a good idea to come in for an assessment if you think you have suffered hearing damage.

Tom Steyer's climate change crusade focuses on midterm races, for now
Billionaire Tom Steyer has become one of the most powerful players in U.S. politics, freely spending to boost Democrats and raise awareness of climate change. (Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times)
Tom Steyer wants to save the planet, but first he wants to know about the U.S. Senate race in Iowa.
Seated in a hotel coffee shop, with a packet of data in his lap, he bursts with questions for the political strategists arrayed around the table: How many early voters? How many undecided? How much spending on persuasion and how much turning out the environmental-minded vote?

Later, touring an eco-friendly farm, Steyer asks about the compost used to grow the organic figs and wild berries. Is manure part of the mix?
In short order, the inquisitive San Francisco hedge-fund billionaire has become one of the most powerful players in American politics, sinking tens of millions of his fortune into boosting Democrats and trying to elevate global warming from a political afterthought into a top-tier issue.
He's built an organization that includes some of the country's top campaign strategists. He's won a following among environmental activists thrilled at his free-spending ways — he's drawn at least $40 million from his own checkbook this election cycle — and recruited a nationwide legion of green-thinking volunteers.
His political organization, NextGen Climate Action, is focused on seven campaigns across the country: U.S. Senate contests in Iowa, Colorado, New Hampshire and Michigan and gubernatorial races in Florida, Maine and Pennsylvania. He's also invested in some state legislative races, including Democratic efforts to win back a two-thirds majority in Sacramento.
In the process Steyer has drawn the enmity of conservatives, who paint him as the epitome of smug I-know-what's-best-for-you liberalism: a radical leftist billionaire hypocrite who wants to kill jobs and raise gas prices while perched snugly in his Sea Cliff mansion. He's even inspired the Republican Party to create a website, MeetTomSteyer, devoted entirely to disparaging "Steyer the Liar."
Through it all he displays the casual comportment and breezy self-assurance of someone rich enough to treat money as though it doesn't really matter. He professes to be quite comfortable on the receiving end of attacks, the product of an age when deep-pocketed donors such as Steyer on the left and the Koch brothers on the right are often higher-profile targets than those seeking office. "This is full-contact sports, and … people are going to say nasty things about me," Steyer says with a shrug.
Although his efforts so far appear unavailing — polls consistently show climate change low on the list of voter priorities — he is determined to inject the issue into the next presidential race and is talked about as a possible 2018 candidate for governor of California, where he honed his advocacy by pushing through ballot measures on taxes and climate change.
All of which raise a number of questions for Steyer himself: What do issues such as same-sex marriage and shipping jobs overseas, featured in attack ads he's paid for in Colorado and Iowa, have to do with climate change? Has Steyer hurt his credibility with claims that fact-checkers have deemed misleading and even patently false, such as an ad suggesting Florida's governor was soft on polluters who enriched his campaign? And how much of his conservationist crusade is about him and a future run for office?
Working his way through a cheeseburger, Steyer defends his advertising — "I have not seen anything … that I did not think was supportable," he says.
And he rules out a gubernatorial bid — sort of. "I have no plans," he insists, "and that's no joke."
He has come a long way from his first campaign experience, as a lowly fundraiser for Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential race, when he was shocked by the casual cruelty of politics. Presented with one of the attack mailers he has paid for against Joni Ernst, Iowa's Republican Senate candidate, Steyer throws his head back and laughs, a deep throaty chortle.
He waves it merrily, then returns to performance metrics. "What," he demands of his Iowa campaign team, "do you think the delta will be for our effort?"
Part of the Steyer lore is the role of unassuming billionaire, and he is easygoing and approachable as he chats up small groups of college students across Iowa.
On Day Two of his state tour he wears the same toad-green sport coat, frayed-at-the-cuff khakis and signature tie, a red tartan plaid, as the day before. He may be the country's biggest individual political donor this year, but no one looks twice as Steyer strolls across campus.

Climate change, Steyer tells his young audiences, is the seismic issue of our day, akin to being on the right side of the American Revolution or the Civil War. But "it's not just a question of understanding," he tells an earnest group of Iowa State volunteers. "It's a question of thinking that it's important."
Steyer has some way to go in convincing Americans of that; even his lavish spending is not likely to make climate change the deciding factor in any of the U.S. Senate or gubernatorial contests he's targeted.
"I would say it's near the bottom of issues people are motivated by," said Andrew Smith, a pollster at the University of New Hampshire, who has been sampling opinion in the state for well over a decade.
Others say the same. "If your life is fine and you're not worried about next week's paycheck … and you're not buried in student loans, you've got the luxury to think about global warming," said Michael Fraioli, a longtime Democratic strategist working on several campaigns this year. "But if you're worried about next week, or what happens six months from now, you've got more immediate concerns."
Steyer doesn't entirely disagree.
The states he aimed at are places where Democrats can talk about climate change without the risk they face in, say, conservative-leaning Louisiana, Kentucky or Georgia, which also have highly competitive Senate races.His absence there istacit admission that, whatever the merits Steyer sees in his argument, the politics are not yet on his side.
That also explains NextGen's far-afield advertising, on issues including jobs and contraception, which are much more likely to stir Democratic voters than global warming.
Steyer suggests there is a connection, that candidates he deems wrong on such issues as birth control are probably also wrong on climate change. "If you're too extreme," he says, "these things all go together."
After a privileged upbringing on New York's Upper East Side, college at Yale and then Stanford business school, Steyer passed through the wealth-creating portals of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs before moving to California and founding his own hedge fund, Farallon Capital Management, in 1986.
Part of his fortune comes from investments in companies Steyer now blames for global warming, though he says he is 100% divested from fossil fuels after the New York Times and Washington Post this year detailed his financial ties to coal mines and other polluters. "I'm trying to at least be congruent and consistent in what I do," he says.
Steyer, a longtime Democratic donor, financed a 2010 California ballot measure that successfully beat back repeal of the state's landmark law fighting climate change, and another in 2012 that hiked taxes $1 billion for out-of-state corporations to pay for conservation and alternative energy programs.
What really drew notice, though, was a stated intention this spring to spend $100 million — half Steyer's money, half raised from supporters — to make global warming an overriding issue in the midterm election. Fundraising has fallen drastically short of that goal, however; the NextGen political action committee collected nearly $43 million through August, the end of the last reporting period, and all but about $2 million of that came from Steyer.
He now says he has no idea where the $100-million figure originated, blaming "somebody I don't know who has never owned up to it."
"Things change and the budget changes," he says, striding unperturbed across the rainy University of Iowa campus to thank another group of volunteers. "We are going to be able to do what we need to do."
He also cautions against drawing conclusions before all the votes are cast and the postelection data are crunched. "It ain't over until it's over," Steyer says, suggesting his efforts could make a meaningful difference in November in, say, a close governor's race in Florida, or the hard-fought Senate contest here in Iowa.
He calls this "one round of what we're doing." Already, Steyer's hoping to build on this year's efforts in 2016, when not just the Senate but the White House will be up for grabs. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '96a5896e2a3a75455df4dca3247cc351d3c427285c490491adf8c33e4c3f2b50'} |

\begin{theorem}
{{TFAE|def = Complex Inverse Tangent}}
Let $S$ be the subset of the complex plane:
:$S = \C \setminus \set {0 + i, 0 - i}$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
The proof strategy is to how that for all $z \in \C$:
:$\set {w \in \C: \tan w = z} = \set {\dfrac 1 {2 i} \map \ln {\dfrac {i - z} {i + z} } + k \pi: k \in \Z}$
Note that when $z = 0 + i$:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = i - z
| r = 0 + 0 i
| c =
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \frac {i - z} {i + z}
| r = 0
| c =

{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \map \ln {\dfrac {i - z} {i + z} }
| o =
| r = \text {is undefined}
| c =

{{end-eqn}}
Similarly, when $z = 0 - i$:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = i + z

}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \frac {i - z} {i + z}

Thus let $z \in \C \setminus \set {0 + i, 0 - i}$.

"This could lead to some water level rises in rivers and streams in those areas," she said.
"So just be aware that water levels will be rising and that there is the potential for that flash flooding, and with that, debris flows could cause blocked drains and culverts and cause roads to become flooded."

AT the entrance to Penzance rises, rather abruptly, a hill, crowned with a very remarkable earthwork. It is known as Castle Lesgudzhek, or, the " Castle of the Bloody Field," to this day.
Tradition, our only guide, tells us that this castle was one of the strong places of a British king, in the third or fourth century; that a rival chieftain, from the eastern part of Danmonium, besieged him. The defence was long and desperate. The besiegers, wearying of the unsuccessful toil, retired at length to the plains of Gulval; and that the besieged left his castle, and gave his enemies battle on the plain which extends from Penzance to Marazion. The "bloody field" remained in possession of the chieftain of Lesgudzhek, and the leader of the eastern men was killed near where he was buried. The Men-Scryfa, or inscribed stone, was raised over his grave,--its height, nine feet, being the exact height of the defeated warrior ?
is engraven on the block; thus handing to us the name of the unfortunate warrior, who was probably the son of the hero from whom Gulval draws its name; and if so, may we not suppose that he was but endeavouring to recover the possessions which once belonged to his parent.

Q:
Using a sky card in Media Center
I'm not 100% is this SU suitable but oh well.
I'm wondering if it's possible to get a slot of some kind to put my Sky Card into a Media Center PC and then be able to have a triple or dual tuner, and connect to the satelitte dish, allowing me to record 3 and watch a previously recorded.
Also it would mean access to Youtube and things easily, with only one box.
Also would this be legal or is it similar to Apple where you can only use Mac OSX on boxes with the Apple Logo on?
A:
I do believe you're looking for a DVB-S or DVB-S2 PCI card. This should permit you to do what you're trying to do. Whether or not it will work with Windows Media Center is another issue entirely.

Many different ways exist to argue in a dissertation and what you choose to do depends on your research question, your field, and the available literature, amongst other things. However, some elements are to be expected in all fields regardless of the research question or the literature, and these include logic, coherence, careful use of evidence and clarity.
In a non-empirical dissertation you use desk research and argument to answer your research question. You can approach this task in a variety of ways, for example:
• Reject someone's idea using reason and logic
• Corroborate a particular viewpoint providing new or additional evidence
• Compare two contradictory views and decide which is the most compelling
• Re-evaluate an existing idea, improving it somehow
• Present a new way of understanding something
Dissertation argument: Deductive vs. inductive reasoning
One issue to take into account concerns different types of reasoning. Commonly, you may find guides and support for dissertation writing that discuss deductive and inductive reasoning and so it’s worth getting to grips with what these words mean.
Deductive arguments tend to verify theories and hypotheses. They’re more associated with quantitative research and a kind of positivist framework. Often, but not always, deductive thinking moves from the general to the particular, and results in clear statements. A good deductive argument is described as ‘valid’.
Deductive arguments can play out in numerous ways and some of those most useful for undergraduate dissertations involve syllogism, which is a form of logic. Here’s an example of an argument that is trying to show a cause-effect relationship:
Start with a main idea, or premiss, for your work, in this case improved funding for your work. This leads to a connected idea – more facilities can be provided for young people. The effect of better facilities is that less young people hang around the street in the evenings, getting into trouble. With these premisses and through examining the cause and effect, the next logical move is to the conclusion that increased funding will result in less trouble caused by young people.
Inductive reasoning usually (not always) involves deriving theory from specific examples and because of this, results in statements that are more or less likely to be true, rather than a fixed absolute response. A good inductive argument is strong or ‘cogent’. As with deductive reasoning, different ways of arguing are possible. Here are examples of the ones most likely to be used by undergraduates:
• Deriving evidence from an expert: In this case you need to be completely certain that the source of your evidence is authoritative, accurate and valid. ‘Professor Brown construes that children in care are less likely than children in families to achieve a university place in the UK. This conclusion is based on several major longitudinal research projects . . .’. (Here’s where you cite dates and other details and really get down to the nitty gritty.)
• Using relevant examples: Rather than the single key source noted in the previous example, this form of inductive reasoning relies on building a conclusion from a selection of relevant, valid examples from reliable literature. ‘Various studies have clearly demonstrated that university places are more commonly won by students whose parents have degrees.’ (Green and Black, 2003; Lilac, 1999; Gray, 2000).
• Cause and effect: You need to be very careful with cause and effect and be absolutely sure how the connections are made. Has x caused y or has y caused x? Are the connections any more than coincidence?
Dissertation argument: Face your protagonists head on
There’s no point pretending that no disagreements exist. It won’t be a strong case if you assert that you agree with someone but provide no evidence that you’ve thought through potential criticisms and discovered ways they can be rebuffed. The most convincing arguments take into account all aspects of an issue and concede points when necessary.
Each argument should get the same treatment – interrogate the premiss, evidence and problems of all the arguments, as this allows the strongest arguments to emerge.
Some arguments will be more central than others, but all need to be treated reasonably. By this, don't over-criticise the arguments that you dislike and give an easy ride to those you feel you'd like to support. You need to dispense even-handed analysis, but don't shy away from pointing out fallacies.
Criticise, don’t denigrate, otherwise you'll weaken your own argument. Garner support genuinely, don’t twist people’s words to suit your purposes.
Dissertation argument: Follow threads of logic
In building a strong argument, there’s no one single absolute correct structure. Whichever route you choose, you must ensure logical links through your argument. Following are some alternative structures for building argument in non-empirical dissertations. These structures include all aspects of the thesis (such as literature review, methodologies and conclusion).
Visit the virtues of alternative arguments
Present the context of your argument; discuss the academic literature; discuss any relevant professional literature; explain the underpinning assumptions of the main argument; corroborate with relevant academic and professional evidence; present alternative arguments, highlight their deficits and fallacies with reference to relevant academic and professional evidence; show how the conclusion is inevitable as the main thesis has superior supporting evidence.
Evaluate an existing study
Present context; give rationale for why the study is being evaluated, including the impact of this study on policy and/or practice; present an overview of the literature; explain the evaluative methods to be used, taking into account issues such as validity, reliability, quality of evidence; evaluate the study providing support for any criticisms of the study's research design, conclusions and implications
Next make an overall judgement on the quality of the study including implications and recommendations for improving policy and practice; conclude by summarising the key themes (without repeating everything).
Critique a particular theory
Contextualise this theory within the current field; provide a rationale for evaluating the theory; explain (briefly) any methodologies you may utilise; show the importance of the theory through a review of the literature; describe the origins, nature and impact of the theory; critique the theory by referencing evidence, examining its validity, consistency and suppositions.
Next compare the inferences made from the theory with those you can now make having identified fallacies in the theory; suggest improvements; and conclude by summarising the key themes (without repeating everything). | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9251980185508728}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '65169', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ICTBCPYRTYH4FZBBSQM6P25LOWYMKBSM', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5a1721c5-d8e0-480d-bb47-60241c35515a>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 6, 4, 30, 27), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.215.179.139', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:D75AU4G333A26N6CK6JSMZF7WOED2S6T', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:41c36584-67c7-461b-8187-dc258b4bb209>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-present-dissertation-arguments.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:4797f432-7fbc-4350-8bbf-3dad8073b2e9>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '1027', 'url': 'http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-present-dissertation-arguments.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.19765377044677734', 'original_id': 'ee5d1e93f30141897f01dd88da78153ab79f002e8a402bd54f4906854876a47e'} |

Let’s put Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s contract extension into perspective: Perpetual third stringers Arron Baynes and Cory Joseph just received a combined $50 million in guaranteed money AND neither deal instigated a Twitter riot. Simply stated, we’re now living in a world where $13 million dollars per year for a non-All-Star wing is good value.
The Hornets will pay MKG that rate over four seasons starting next July – approximately three months before the former number two overall pick turns 23. The deal is one year shorter and $1 million less per season than the one Khris Middleton just signed with the Bucks and around two thirds more than Al Farouq Aminu received from the Blazers.
$52 MILLION – IT’S ALL RELATIVE
In 2011 2013 the NBA’s cap was set at $58 million. Thanks to the new TV deal, the 2017 cap is projected at $108 million – a 90% increase that nearly doubles the amount teams have to spend. And since the league hasn’t added any new franchises or vastly expanded roster limits, that money is going directly into the pockets of the same pool of players.
You are certain to hear a local sports talk rant (or ten) in the next week about how MKG isn’t worth close to this much cash and that’s due to many not understanding the basic dynamics of the new cap. It’s a simple conversion really: just take MKG’s $13 million salary and divide it by 90%.
This reveals a 4 year, $27.5 million deal with an average salary of $6.875 million. Keep in mind than in 2011 2013, when the cap was 90% lower, Gerald Henderson signed a 3 year, $18 million extension with Charlotte at $6 million per. So in relative terms, MKG signed for a little north of Hendo money. Bad for sports talk radio and internet trolls, good for the Hornets.
GAMBLING ON A BREAKOUT, GAMBLING ON A BREAK
MKG didn’t have to sign an extension this summer. He could’ve waited it out and tested the very tempting waters of Free Agency 2016. As former Nets exec Bobby Marks noted in his excellent piece for Hoopshype last month, 24 of the league’s 30 teams will have cap space next summer with an estimated $825 million to spend. Peruse the list of next July’s free agents and you will find a dearth of quality unrestricted players worthy of that type of cash.
In years past, teams could use the restricted status of their own free agents to ward off offer sheets from hungry franchises with big space. That will change next July. Andre Drummond, Bradley Beal and Harrison Barnes are virtual locks to get max offers and if MKG has the breakout season Charlotte is hoping for, you could’ve easily added him to that list.
But Kidd-Gilchrist has missed over 50 games in his first three seasons with a variety of injuries. Like Gerald Wallace before him, MKG plays at only one speed – FULL ON – and that reckless energy has a tendency to lead straight to street clothes.
Kidd-Gilchrist will only be 26 years old at the end of extension and at the beginning of his prime. If his jumper keeps making progress and he can stay on the court, MKG will have another legit shot at a max-type deal. If not, he’s set himself up very nicely with over $70 million in guaranteed career earnings.
WHAT COMES NEXT – HORNETS FREE AGENCY 2016
Extending MKG this summer greatly reduces the burden on Charlotte’s front office next offseason. The team’s highest paid players (Nic Batum and Al Jefferson) will become unrestricted free agents. Jeremy Lin is a near guarantee to opt out of his deal and test the market. Jeremy Lamb will be a 24 year old restricted free agent who can shoot and (maybe) defend.
Depending on how the season plays out, Charlotte will aim to bring back each of these key players. Removing MKG from the list of moving parts is huge. And getting him at such a reasonable number leaves the team with around $45 million to spend on bringing all of those guys back.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hornets started negotiating with Lamb on a rookie extension today. Throw an offer of, say, 3 years, $18 million and see if he bites. Sure, the jury’s still out on Lamb as a high-end rotation player but $6 million in 2017 dollars is just a touch over $3 million per in relative terms. It’s worth a shot.
The Hornets could then throw big 3 year deals at both Batum and Jefferson and bring back Lin at a reasonable number if he thrives in the Queen City. All while maintaining flexibility for the following summer when Steph Curry becomes a free agent. See the Projected Salary Chart below:
QUICK HITS
MKG becomes just the fourth Bobcats-era Lottery pick to sign an extension with the team after Emeka Okafor, Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker.
This marks the second consecutive offseason that Charlotte has reached an early rookie extension with one of their Lottery picks. A big milestone for an organization that has struggled mightily with the Draft.
Once the cap hits $108 million, MKG’s per year salary will account for just north of 1/10th of the team’s available space.
If both MKG and Kemba Walker complete their extensions in teal, they’ll become the longest tenured Bobcats-era players in Charlotte history and in line to challenge Dell Curry’s all-time record of ten seasons.
UPDATE
It was reported on Wednesday that the final year of MKG’s contract will be a player option, giving Kidd-Glichrist the ability to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent again at the ripe young age of 25.
The player option also times MKG’s free agency perfectly with Kemba Walker’s. One of the most interesting pieces of information to come out of the extension coverage is just how close the two players are off the court. While each player has their share of work to do to make the All-Star leap, both are extraordinarily high character, team-first individuals who will set the tone for the roster and organization as they mature into veterans.
By inking both players until 2019, the Hornets are essentially giving themselves a four year window to win with this roster. Expect the team to pursue similar three year extensions with Nic Batum and Al Jefferson in the offseason to complete the core. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9fe2700a7e6acc7683e72e77d6fd7d0645b1538badc31fdd80de2668ee342ab7'} |
Facebook is working on a pair of augmented reality smartglasses that could superimpose virtual objects onto the real world.
In a recent patent filing, the social network outlined plans for a pair of glasses with a display that is enhanced using a two-dimensional scanner. Different to the company's Oculus virtual reality headset, the augmented reality glasses could let users see and interact with virtual objects layered on top of the real world.
The technology is being developed by Facebook-owned Oculus, responsible for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. The glasses would rival Microsoft's Hololens, the $3,000 headset that went on sale earlier this year, and Snapchat's Spectacles. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '06f24e1f326379baef38886619fc77142ef37eeacc5804577d3be886e44befcc'} |
Double Shadows 2: Where Cinema and Life Converge
Marceline Loridan and Yamagata Catherine Cadou
Politics of Additional Paths
You are welcome to read all this as fragments, from someone’s life. Or as a letter from a homesick stranger. Or as a novel, pure fiction. Yes, you are welcome to read this as fiction. The subject, the plot that ties up these bits is my life, my growing up. The villain? The villain is the twentieth century. (I Had Nowhere to Go, Jonas Mekas)
Perhaps Jonas Mekas’s journey—his life—was, in a sense, the 20th century itself. War, refugees, asylum, the United States, and movies—uprooted by the Soviet Union and the Nazis, Mekas made his way to the United States shuffled between labor camps and refugee camps, got a 16mm Bolex camera and filmed his feelings for his family, his friends, and his homeland. Having lost the place he should have returned to, becoming a rootless wanderer, he did not try to repair and recover his crushed self-identity, but rather created diary films and diary literature by joining the fragments together. He says the following while looking at the New York skyline:
This is the city which I built, little by little, memory by memory, street by street, face by face, step by step. We grew together, the city and I . . . I am aware, that my New York will never be like anybody else’s New York. But let it be . . . It has saved me from going mad. (Ibid)
Caught in the undulations of history, on the verge of being ejected by them, there are moments when memories that are only fragments gain new life through images, flashing in the darkness of a past that has been shuttered. This is not the kind of “history” made up of an accumulation of given facts, nor can it be contained by words and concepts such as “personal film.” New colors and voices are added to found footage, and divergent countenances emerge out of the overlapping of shadows, the overlapping of images. When we confront the fact that one movie, one life does not complete itself, and cannot exist alone, boundaries and systems such as nationality and genre collapse away, and the linear history of film begins to crumble.
In Double Shadows 2, as in the program’s first appearance in 2015, we screen films about films—more specifically, fifteen documentary works about the very act of expression through images. Using film to undertake this kind of scrutiny of film history might, by its nature, be expected to lead nowhere beyond the boundaries of film. But images are unable to reflect on themselves, or change and progress on their own. Phrases such as “the century of the image” and an emphasis on the inundation of images reflected false goals supported by a happygo-lucky view of historical progress, that can only result in cliché. Rather, should we not work on drawing another additional path that would lead to new expressions in history, new forms of film? That path is the politics of our culture, society, and expression. It doesn’t begin and end within film—it is a question of how to live in a way that deals with what may be found in film. Hence our theme this time is: A Place Where Movies and Life Converge. Mekas declares:
Cinema is beginning to move. Cinema is becoming conscious of its steps. Cinema is no longer embarrassed by its own stammerings, hesitations, side steps. Until now, cinema could move only in a robotlike step, on preplanned tracks, indicated lines. Now it is beginning to move freely, by itself, according to its own wishes and whims, tracing its own steps. Cinema is doing away with theatrics, cinema is searching for its own truth, cinema is mumbling, like Marlon Brando, like James Dean. That’s what this is all about: new times, new content, new language. (Movie Journal: The Rise of the New American Cinema, 1959–1971, Jonas Mekas)
Let us recall that Mekas said that we do not capture everyday life, but rather that everyday life is created through filming. Cinema “with us” does not only mean that life is the object of film, but also that one’s own reality and body partly begin in and are constructed through film. So Angela’s Diary: Two Filmmakers, a new work by Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi, who have worked on reknitting history by collecting, dyeing and re-editing found footage, inevitably confronts the activities of their creative process itself.
People literally live cinema. What is real or invention is of little importance. The faces etched in Chronicle of a Summer, the gestures of Marlon Brando captured by Maysles along with the sight of his own figure reflected through the camera—these will surely teach us something that surpasses what may be said to be “true.” Now, in the Double Shadows woven at the point where film and life converge, existences forgotten by history return, and we hear the echoing voices of human beings who have been lost.

(check-type <argument> <restricted-type>) takes care of this one for you,

don't see the problem. writing safe code isn't hard in Common Lisp.

when the compiler stores away the type information, this may be true.
when the programmers have to keep them in sync manually, it is false.
static typing is like a religion: it has no value outside the community
of believers. inside the community of believers, however, it is quite
impossible to envision a world where static types do not exist, and they
think in terms that restrict their concept of "type" to that which fits
the static typing religion.
to break out of the static typing faith, you have to realize that there
is nothing conceptually different between an object of type t that holds
a value you either know or don't know how to deal with, and an object of
a very narrow type that holds a value you either know or don't know how
to deal with. the issue is really programming pragmatics. static typing
buys you exactly nothing over dynamic typing when push comes to shove.
yes, it does buy you something _superficially_, but look beneath it, and
you find that _nothing_ has actually been gained. the bugs you found are
fixed, and the ones you didn't find aren't fixed. the mistakes you made
that escaped the testing may differ very slightly in expression, but they
are still there. the mistakes you did find may also differ slightly in
expression, but they are still gone. what did you gain by believing in
static typing? pain and suffering and a grumpy compiler. what did you
gain by rejecting this belief and understanding that neither humans nor
the real world fits the static typing model? freedom of expression! of
course, it comes with a responsibility, but so did the static typing,
only the dynamic typing responsibility is not to abuse freedom, while the
static typing responsibility is not to abuse the power of restriction.
personally, I think this is _actually_ a personality issue. either you
want to impose control on your environment and believe in static typing,
or you want to understand your environment and embrace whatever it is. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9428855776786804}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '5712', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:B3I4OBWITKBRYCIMACBHAQZAYKGTWCKE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:61220ebd-099d-41ac-a65a-f486d4bf9adb>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 2, 28, 19, 14, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.100.148.110', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GUHMP7POVWPREX44WM4CW432H5IAEIUZ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5b1c7d34-f376-4fbf-aab2-91445af0eec0>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3162005254869991@naggum.no.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:8c1ab035-316f-4667-b4af-629f4eab4469>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '471', 'url': 'http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3162005254869991@naggum.no.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08364695310592651', 'original_id': 'bbd0cfd67844e37608ce4f6bc0789b2163b19f6fc4f4e5dbb5a53f2fdc8f82c6'} |

Flying Snails
Nigerian cuisine is the fastest-growing segment of the city's African restaurant industry. Four places have recently opened—one in Queens, two in Brooklyn, and one where you'd least expect it, on Staten Island—while the number of Senegalese, Guinean, Ghanaian, and Ivory Coast establishments has remained relatively constant. Strictly speaking, New Combination is not completely new, but extensively expanded and improved from its previous digs around the corner on Clarkson Street. The current location looks like it might have been a Chili's or an Applebee's: two stories of seemingly new construction with a big modern interior and a menu that justifies the restaurant's name by offering American breakfasts, including grits, bagels, and cornflakes, along with fish-and-chips and Brit tonics such as Vitamalt, Lucozade, and Milo.
The majority of the bill of fare, of course, is Nigerian, listing lots of soups like ogbolo, ewedu, and edikaikon that, were they regularly available, would make the menu the most comprehensive of its type in the city. On our visits they were sadly absent, but the food was great anyway. We sampled an exemplary egusi ($7), a potage made by suspending the coarsely ground interior of melon seeds in palm oil, then lacing them with bits of spinach and sun-dried stockfish, creating a soup that's a dead ringer for runny scrambled eggs. Other soups sampled on various visits included an okra number so mucilaginous that even after taking a bite and chewing for a while, the tendrils of goo still extend from your mouth back to the bowl. Hey, it's good! The mixed-meat soup, standard at other Nigerian restaurants like Mirage (2143 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, 718-941-4452), is a frequent special at New Combo, featuring the same winning constellation of cow feet, tripe, and beef chunks that, for non-Africans, might be too much chewiness at a single sitting.
In Nigeria these soups are invariably paired with a wide variety of mashes made mainly from tubers or their corresponding flours and meals. As Nigerian food has been adapted in America, where most ingredients have to be imported, the range of mashes deployed has narrowed. Simultaneously, the size of mash servings has dwindled by at least 75 percent, as the meat or fish portions increase and eventually predominate. Pounded yam made from yam flour (elubo) is the only mash served consistently, but, lucky for us, there are plenty of other starchy substances on the menu. Biggest hit on a recent visit was moi moi ($2.50), dehulled cow peas pureed with eggs and tomatoes, formed into patties with added bits of fish, then lightly fried into delicious puffy brown clouds. Similarly starchy is asaro ($9), yams imported from Ghana ("Nothing like American yam," the proprietor bragged), boiled and slightly mashed with palm oil and salt, making a very rich meal. From the Muslim Hausa of northern Nigeria comes suya ($5), beef kebabs dipped in crushed peanuts and served off the stick with sliced tomatoes and raw onions—real party food.

But the most amazing thing on the menu is snails ($5 each). These are not the wimpy escargots eaten by the Senegalese in emulation of the French, but giant land snails (Achatina achatina) three inches in diameter. When pulled from their spiral shells, they reveal giant black wings that make them look like small bats. Served in a fluorescent red sauce and unbelievably rubbery, they're high in protein and virtually fat free according to our hostess, who observed, "They're found under bushes in the jungle, the best thing to eat if you go on a diet."
Maybe the diet part is that you only take one bite.

1. Introduction {#sec1-ijms-21-00439}
===============
Blood supply is required to promote tumor growth, survival, and metastasis \[[@B1-ijms-21-00439]\]. Angiogenesis was first proposed in 1971 by Judah Folkman as new blood vessel formation from pre-existing ones by endothelial cells \[[@B2-ijms-21-00439],[@B3-ijms-21-00439]\]. Because angiogenesis plays important roles in tumor growth, survival, and metastasis, anti-angiogenic therapies were considered as promising and key strategies for the treatment of cancer for almost 30 years \[[@B2-ijms-21-00439],[@B4-ijms-21-00439]\]. However, anti-angiogenic drugs were not effective in all cancers, and resistance to these therapies occurred during a period of treatment \[[@B5-ijms-21-00439]\]. Animal studies also reported that anti-angiogenic therapy delays tumor growth, followed by tumor regrowth \[[@B6-ijms-21-00439]\]. These researches demonstrated that tumor cells can evade the therapeutic effects of anti-angiogenic drugs and suggested that these phenomena may be due to adequate blood supply via alternative pathways.
Maniotis et al. \[[@B7-ijms-21-00439]\] reported a novel tumor vascular paradigm called "vasculogenic mimicry (VM)" in 1999. VM is the de novo formation of perfusable, matrix-rich, and vessel-like networks by aggressive tumor cells without endothelial cells, and it provides sufficient oxygen and nutrients for tumor survival and growth through direct or indirect connections with endothelial-lined vessels \[[@B8-ijms-21-00439],[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B10-ijms-21-00439]\]. Various genes such as vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2), and signaling pathways including the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT pathway participate in VM formation by aggressive tumor cells \[[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B11-ijms-21-00439]\]. VM formation was observed in various kinds of tumors including prostate cancer (PCa), and it is strongly involved in poor clinical outcome \[[@B12-ijms-21-00439],[@B13-ijms-21-00439]\]. Overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with VM-positive PCa are significantly worse than those with VM-negative PCa \[[@B12-ijms-21-00439]\]. In a meta-analysis, VM-positive cancer patients such as those with lung, colon, and liver cancers showed a poor five-year survival \[[@B13-ijms-21-00439]\]. These results indicated that VM is an adverse predictor in cancer patients. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved anti-angiogenic inhibitors such as bevacizumab, endostatin, and TNP-470 fail to inhibit tumor VM formation \[[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B11-ijms-21-00439],[@B14-ijms-21-00439]\]. Therefore, VM is an attractive target that can improve anti-cancer efficacy through overcoming resistance to anti-angiogenic therapies. In addition, the combination of VM-targeting drugs and anti-angiogenic therapies may have a synergistic effect in the treatment of vascular-related cancer patients such as PCa.
Green tea is one of the most popular beverages consumed around the world due to it containing powerful antioxidants such as polyphenols \[[@B15-ijms-21-00439]\]. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant polyphenol in green tea \[[@B16-ijms-21-00439]\]. It showed potential efficacy on human health and diseases such as cancer, also in addition to cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases \[[@B16-ijms-21-00439],[@B17-ijms-21-00439]\]. EGCG possesses anti-cancer capacities through the induction of apoptosis \[[@B18-ijms-21-00439],[@B19-ijms-21-00439]\] and the repression of angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor growth \[[@B20-ijms-21-00439],[@B21-ijms-21-00439]\]. Also, EGCG acts as a chemosensitizer, leading to minimizing chemoresistance and enhancing chemosensitivity of tumor cells \[[@B22-ijms-21-00439]\]. However, there are few researches on EGCG's effect on VM. Only one study showed that EGCG blocked VM formation through the reduction of intracellular peroxide \[[@B23-ijms-21-00439]\].
Thus, the aims of this study were to determine the effects of EGCG on VM formation and to identify the underlying molecular mechanism of its activity in human PCa PC-3 cells.
2. Results {#sec2-ijms-21-00439}
==========
2.1. The Effect of EGCG on the Viability of PC-3 Cells {#sec2dot1-ijms-21-00439}
------------------------------------------------------
To evaluate the effect of EGCG ([Figure 1](#ijms-21-00439-f001){ref-type="fig"}A) on the viability of PC-3 cells, we treated PC-3 cells with various concentrations of EGCG (10, 20, 40, and 80 μM) for 24 h and performed a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Here, 80 μM EGCG significantly decreased cell viability. However, there was no effect of EGCG on cell viability up to 40 μM ([Figure 1](#ijms-21-00439-f001){ref-type="fig"}B). Therefore, to rule out the possibility of inhibiting VM by cytotoxicity, we treated PC-3 cells with noncytotoxic concentrations (≤40 μM) of EGCG for subsequent experiments.
2.2. EGCG Reduces the Invasion of PC-3 Cells {#sec2dot2-ijms-21-00439}
--------------------------------------------
To check the anti-invasive activity of EGCG against PC-3 cells, we conducted a cell invasion assay using a Transwell with matrigel-coated membrane filter for 24 h. Fetal bovine serum was used as a chemoattractant. As expected, 10% serum caused a marked increase in cell invasion ability, which was effectively reduced by 25%, 38%, and 62% with the 10, 20, and 40 μM EGCG treatments, respectively ([Figure 2](#ijms-21-00439-f002){ref-type="fig"}). These results verified that EGCG has an anti-invasive activity in PCa PC-3 cells.
2.3. EGCG Inhibits the VM of PC-3 and DU-145 Cells {#sec2dot3-ijms-21-00439}
--------------------------------------------------
To investigate whether EGCG affects the formation of vessel-like networks by PCa such as PC-3 and DU-145 cells, we treated the cells on the matrigel-coated wells with EGCG and then carried out a three-dimensional (3D) culture VM tube formation assay for 24 h. As shown in [Figure 3](#ijms-21-00439-f003){ref-type="fig"}A, PC-3 cells formed complete tubular channels, which was partly blocked by EGCG treatment. VM tube formation of PC-3 cells was dramatically inhibited by 15%, 31%, and 57% with 10, 20, and 40 μM EGCG, respectively ([Figure 3](#ijms-21-00439-f003){ref-type="fig"}B). Also, EGCG effectively reduced the VM formation of DU-145 cells by 20%, 36%, and 67% with 10, 20, and 40 μM, respectively ([Figure 3](#ijms-21-00439-f003){ref-type="fig"}C,D). These results demonstrated that EGCG has an anti-VM activity in PCa cells.
2.4. EGCG Downregulates VE-Cadherin Expression through Inhibiting the Nuclear Twist in PC-3 Cells {#sec2dot4-ijms-21-00439}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To examine the role of EGCG on EphA2 phosphorylation and VE-cadherin expression involved in VM formation, we analyzed the protein levels of these key factors by Western blot in EGCG-treated PC-3 cells for 24 h. There was no significant difference in phospho-EphA2 or EphA2 expression (data not shown). However, VE-cadherin expression was strikingly downregulated by ECGC treatment in a dose-dependent manner ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}A). These results revealed that the downregulation of VE-cadherin but not EphA2 is associated with EGCG-inhibited VM formation in PC-3 cells.
Next, to investigate whether EGCG affects twist expression to inhibit VM formation through regulating VE-cadherin in PC-3 cells, we detected the protein expression level and the nuclear localization of twist by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay after EGCG treatment for 24 h. As shown in [Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}B, EGCG significantly reduced the twist expression level in a dose-dependent manner. The nuclear localization of twist was effectively diminished by 20 μM EGCG ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}C). To check the transcriptional regulation of twist target genes such as N-cadherin and vimentin, Western blot was performed after EGCG treatment for 24 h. As expected, N-cadherin and vimentin expression was downregulated by EGCG in a dose-dependent manner ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}D).
Taken together, these results indicated that EGCG inhibits twist level in the nucleus, thereby downregulating VE-cadherin expression in PC-3 cells.
2.5. EGCG Suppresses the VM of PC-3 Cells through Inhibiting the AKT Pathway {#sec2dot5-ijms-21-00439}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To verify the association between EGCG and the AKT pathway, Western blot was carried out in EGCG-treated PC-3 cells for 24 h. EGCG significantly impaired phospho-AKT and AKT expression level in a dose- and time-dependent manner ([Figure 5](#ijms-21-00439-f005){ref-type="fig"}A,B). To assess the role of the AKT pathway in EGCG-inhibited VM, we treated PC-3 cells with SC79, an AKT activator, in the presence or absence of EGCG and then performed a 3D culture VM tube formation assay. Only SC79 treatment had no effect on VM formation. However, EGCG significantly resulted in blockage of VM formation, which was rescued after SC79 treatment ([Figure 5](#ijms-21-00439-f005){ref-type="fig"}C,D). These results demonstrated that EGCG requires inhibiting the AKT pathway to suppress VM formation in PC-3 cells.
3. Discussion {#sec3-ijms-21-00439}
=============
VM is the alternative vessel formation by aggressive tumor cells without endothelial cells. It contributes to blood supply for sufficient oxygen and nutrients for tumor survival and growth \[[@B7-ijms-21-00439],[@B8-ijms-21-00439],[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B10-ijms-21-00439]\]. The patients with VM-positive PCa have poorer overall survival and disease-free survival than those with VM-negative PCa \[[@B12-ijms-21-00439]\]. Also, in a meta-analysis, VM-positive cancer patients such as those with lung, colon, and liver cancers showed a poor five-year survival \[[@B13-ijms-21-00439]\]. Therefore, VM acts as a marker of poor prognosis in various kinds of tumors including PCa \[[@B12-ijms-21-00439],[@B13-ijms-21-00439]\], indicating that VM is an attractive target for treating cancer patients.
The invasive ability of tumor cells is closely associated with VM \[[@B24-ijms-21-00439]\]. EGCG was reported to inhibit the invasion of several types of cancer cells \[[@B25-ijms-21-00439],[@B26-ijms-21-00439],[@B27-ijms-21-00439]\]. As expected, EGCG clearly inhibited the serum-induced invasion of PC-3 cells ([Figure 2](#ijms-21-00439-f002){ref-type="fig"}). Also, VM formation by PC-3 and DU-145 cells was dramatically blocked after EGCG treatment ([Figure 3](#ijms-21-00439-f003){ref-type="fig"}). All these results were assessed at noncytotoxic concentrations (≤40 μM) of EGCG ([Figure 1](#ijms-21-00439-f001){ref-type="fig"}B). Taken together, these results demonstrated that EGCG has anti-invasive and anti-VM abilities without affecting cell viability.
Vascular-associated genes such as VE-cadherin and EphA2 are involved in the ability of aggressive tumor cells to form VM \[[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B11-ijms-21-00439]\]. As one of the first vascular-associated genes, VE-cadherin is a member of classical cadherin adhesion molecules, and it engages in blood vessel formation through controlling endothelial cell behavior \[[@B9-ijms-21-00439],[@B28-ijms-21-00439]\]. EphA2 belongs to the ephrin-receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases, and it regulates cancer motility, proliferation, and stemness properties by phosphorylation \[[@B29-ijms-21-00439]\]. VE-cadherin and EphA2 are overexpressed in aggressive cancer cells and play key roles in the formation of matrix-rich vessel-like networks called VM. Knockdown of not only EphA2 but also VE-cadherin abrogated VM formation in aggressive melanoma cells \[[@B29-ijms-21-00439],[@B30-ijms-21-00439]\]. In this study, EGCG downregulated VE-cadherin expression ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}A) but not phospho-EphA2 and total EphA2 expression (data not shown). These results verified that EGCG could inhibit VM formation through the downregulation of VE-cadherin expression.
As a transcription factor, twist induces VM through upregulation of VE-cadherin \[[@B31-ijms-21-00439],[@B32-ijms-21-00439]\]. Twist is overexpressed in the nucleus in VM-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The survival of HCC patients with positive VM, nuclear twist, and VE-cadherin expression is shorter than that of those without expression \[[@B31-ijms-21-00439]\]. Blocking the twist/VE-cadherin pathway contributes to the suppression of VM formation \[[@B33-ijms-21-00439]\]. Among PCa cell lines, PC-3 cells shows a high expression of twist \[[@B34-ijms-21-00439]\]. As expected, EGCG strikingly reduced twist expression ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}B) and the nuclear localization of twist ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}C). Epithelial--mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a vital process in cancer progression, and it also plays a crucial role in VM formation \[[@B35-ijms-21-00439],[@B36-ijms-21-00439]\]. Twist is a major EMT-related transcription factor and controls EMT through downregulating epithelial markers (E-cadherin) and upregulating mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin and vimentin) \[[@B36-ijms-21-00439]\]. Consistent with the results of VE-cadherin and twist, EGCG downregulated N-cadherin and vimentin ([Figure 4](#ijms-21-00439-f004){ref-type="fig"}D).
Taken together, EGCG downregulated VE-cadherin expression through inhibiting the nuclear localization and expression of twist, leading to suppressing VM formation.
The AKT pathway plays an important role in cancer progression, related to cell survival, growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis \[[@B37-ijms-21-00439]\]. Also, the AKT pathway contributes to VM formation. VE-cadherin activates the AKT pathway, resulting in VM formation through controlling the activity of matrix metalloproteinase and the cleavage of laminin subunit 5 gamma-2 \[[@B8-ijms-21-00439],[@B11-ijms-21-00439]\]. Curcumin inhibits VM of HCC cells through downregulating the AKT pathway \[[@B38-ijms-21-00439]\]. EGCG reduced phospho-AKT and AKT expression ([Figure 5](#ijms-21-00439-f005){ref-type="fig"}A,B). The EGCG-induced inhibition of VM formation was blocked by an AKT activator ([Figure 5](#ijms-21-00439-f005){ref-type="fig"}C,D). These results demonstrated that impairing the AKT pathway contributes to the anti-VM ability of EGCG.
In summary, we demonstrated that EGCG could suppress the VM formation of PCa PC-3 cells through inhibiting the nuclear localization of twist, followed by downregulation of VE-cadherin expression, which in turn impairs the AKT pathway. These results serve new insight into the function of EGCG in VM and suggest that more research is needed to develop EGCG as a chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent targeting VM.

Cells (1 × 10^4^) were seeded in a 96-well plate, incubated for 24 h, and then treated with various concentrations (10, 20, 40, and 80 μM) of EGCG (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, Purity ≥98% by HPLC) in serum-free media for 24 h. The effect of EGCG on the viability of PC-3 cells was measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) assay as described previously \[[@B39-ijms-21-00439],[@B40-ijms-21-00439],[@B41-ijms-21-00439]\]. The absorbance at 570 nm was measured using a microplate reader (Sunrise RC, TECAN, Mannedorf, Switzerland). Cell viability was expressed as a percentage of the control.
4.3. Invasion Assay {#sec4dot3-ijms-21-00439}
-------------------
The cell invasion assay was performed using Transwell^®^ cell culture inserts with 8-μm pores (Corning Inc., NY, USA). The membrane filter of an insert was precoated with dilute matrigel (1:20, BD Biosciences) for 2 h at 37 °C. The lower chamber was filled with 700 μL of RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS (Welgene), and 400 μL of a cell suspension (2 × 10^5^/well) with various concentrations (10, 20, and 40 μM) of EGCG in serum-free media was placed in the inserts. After incubation for 24 h at 37 °C, the inserts were fixed and stained with Diff-Quick (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan), and the cells on the upper surface of the membrane filter were removed with a cotton swab. Then, the invaded cells were captured using an inverted light microscope Ts2_PH at 200× magnification (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and quantified.
4.4. Three-dimensional (3D) Culture VM Tube Formation Assay {#sec4dot4-ijms-21-00439}

The cells were lysed in Radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). Total proteins (20 μg) from cell lysates were separated on an 8%, 10%, or 12% SDS-PAGE gel before being transferred onto a nitrocellulose transfer membrane (Pall Corporation, Port Washington, NY, USA) for 110 min at 300 mA. The membranes were soaked in 5% nonfat skim milk or 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 90 min at room temperature (RT), and then probed with specific primary antibodies ([Table 1](#ijms-21-00439-t001){ref-type="table"}) at 4 °C overnight, followed by appropriate secondary antibodies ([Table 1](#ijms-21-00439-t001){ref-type="table"}) for 2 h at RT. Protein bands were detected using an Enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL) and quantified using an ImageJ 1.40g software (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD).
4.6. Immunofluorescence Assay {#sec4dot6-ijms-21-00439}
-----------------------------
Cells (1.2 × 10^5^ cells/well) were seeded in an eight-well chamber slide and treated with 20 μM EGCG for 24 h. The cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde for 10 min, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X 100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min, and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS for 1 h at RT. After washing three times with PBS, the cells were incubated with twist antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:50) overnight at 4 °C, and then goat anti-mouse IgG by Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibody (Millipore, Temecula, CA, 1:100) for 1 h at RT in the dark. After washing three times with PBS, the cells were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, 1 μg/mL) in PBS for 5 min, mounted with 30% glycerol in PBS, and observed with a FLUOVIEW FV10i confocal microscope at 600× magnification (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Physical Therapy in Grapevine for Upper Back and Neck
Advances in the Surgical Treatment of Brachial Plexus Injuries
Traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus refer to stretching, avulsion, or rupture of a group of nerves that come from the spinal cord in the neck. Avulsion tells us the nerve root is torn from the spinal cord where it attaches.
Rupture refers to a complete tear across the nerve dividing it into two or more parts. The upper part is still attached to the spinal cord. Plexus refers to the entire group of nerves as they first start out with several main branches that divide to form a much larger number of nerve groups. The plexus starts at the neck but travels under the clavicle (collar bone) and down the arm.
These nerves provide both sensation (pain, temperature, touch, vibration) and motor function (muscle contraction) for the entire upper extremity including the shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand.
Brachial plexus injuries are usually caused by some type of trauma such as a car accident, fall onto an outstretched arm (especially if the head and face are turned away from that side), and stretching or pulling on the hand, wrist, or forearm. Gunshot wounds, knife lacerations, and other blunt open injuries are also likely causes of nerve avulsion or rupture.
Surgery is often needed to reconstruct the nerve. Surgical techniques have improved quite a bit in the last 10 years. The author of this review (an upper extremity orthopedic surgeon who specializes in trauma) has put together a summary of what the surgeon needs to know in making the diagnosis and establishing a plan of care for these patients.
The first step is making the diagnosis. Typically, any medical diagnosis depends on understanding the history (what happened) and carrying out an examination. With trauma to the nerves, the mechanism of injury is important because it often dictates whether surgery is needed and how soon. For example, a sharp injury that cuts the nerve will require immediate surgical treatment, whereas, forced traction (e.g., from a fall) may recover with time and conservative care.
To take that a step farther, the type of surgery may also be determined by what happened. Nerves that are avulsed close to the spinal cord are treated differently than nerves torn farther down the arm.
The decision isn't made just on the basis of the patient's history. Additional tests are given to find out as much as possible about what is and isn't working with each nerve. CT scans, MRIs, and electrodiagnostic tests add important information.
Electrodiagnostic tests include nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG). These tests provide information about the sensory nerve cells' and motor nerve cells' function. The results of the test help surgeons predict if recovery will occur and how long it might take.
With nerve avulsion, there's very little chance the nerve will repair itself and recover. The risk of scar tissue interfering with surgery pushes the date of surgery up considerably (within three to six weeks of the injury). For injuries further down (away from the spinal cord), there's a chance that (with enough time) the nerve can repair and recover. This can take up to six months or more so surgery can be put off a bit longer.
When surgery is done, the surgeon must choose among several different approaches, each with their own specific surgical techniques. When there is a clean cut through the nerve, it is possible to stitch the two ends of the nerves back together in what is referred to as a direct repair.
But most of the time, there are multiple nerves that involve both sensory and motor function. In these cases, it may be necessary to perform nerve grafting, nerve transfers, or even muscle transfers. The nerves used depend on the location of the primary (main) nerve injury and the muscles (motion) affected.
The brachial plexus has many nerves that branch off to each part of the arm from the shoulder on down to the fingers. Nerves selected for grafting or transfer differ according to whether the injured nerve is up high affecting the upper arm or down lower creating problems in the forearm, wrist, or hand.
The author describes each nerve affected and the possible replacements that can be used. Choosing the donor nerve can be challenging. It's best to use one that is above the lesion and therefore has not been affected by the injury.
Data on outcomes from studies already published are reviewed. Over time these studies have provided some valuable information about which nerves work best as donors to replace the damaged brachial plexus. It is even possible to take selected nerve tissue from the opposite arm as a donor graft for the injured arm.
A muscle transfer is another new technique developed over the last few years. Surgeons have figured out which muscles can be used to replace muscles that have permanently lost nerve innervation. Function is the goal, so restoring elbow flexion or touching the fingers together is often what surgery tries to achieve.
And finally, the newest surgical technique under investigation for nerve injuries is the use of a nerve conduit. A nerve conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve graft) uses synthetic materials to create a guided pathway for nerve tissue growth. The nerve ends and gap between the ends are enclosed within a tube composed of biological or synthetic materials.
The nerve conduit is being tried for patients with large distances between the two ends of the torn nerve. The distance is too great to use direct suturing of the two stumps of a severed nerve without tension. This approach has worked for small sensory nerves that have been injured but its use with mixed (sensory and motor) function is still being studied.
In summary, brachial plexus injuries can be complex, difficult to treat, and devastating for the patient. Every effort must be made to establish a correct diagnosis (which nerve is affected, location of the lesion, severity of the lesion) in order to plan treatment specific to that problem. Recent advances in the surgical repair and reconstruction of traumatic brachial plexus injuries has opened up treatment options and improved results.

Trinity Western University has a Community Covenant that only permits sexual minorities to attend at considerable personal cost to their dignity and sense of self-worth. All student and staff applicants to TWU are required to sign this covenant, pledging not to engage in same-sex intimacy. The purpose of this article is to offer a reply to the arguments advanced by proponents of granting law society accreditation to TWUs proposed program. The paper rejects six of the central claims that proponents ofapproval have advanced. First it responds to the claim that TWU does not actually discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Second it speaks to the assertion that the Community Covenant represents a voluntary choice not to engage in same-sex sexual intimacy. Third it rejects the contention that TWU welcomes gay and lesbian students. Fourth it challenges the distinction TWU supporters draw between a code ofconduct that prohibits samesex intimacy and a policy that excludes gays and lesbians. Fifth it rejects the proposition, broadly accepted by the Benchers of the Law Societyof BC, that the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in BCCT is dispositive of the issue faced by law societies today Sixth, it rejects the claim that opposition to public accreditation of TWU can be equated with opposition to a Christian worldview or the desirability of a faith-based university. The final section of the paper argues that the decision in some provinces not to accredit TWUs law degree is reasonable and will be respected by reviewing courts. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9250070452690125}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '51927', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GATS6WEULIKJV7CBKHYJTSQS7F3QJ6MX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:15502c6e-6607-4899-84ec-a9cd2a315137>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 27, 7, 18, 26), 'WARC-IP-Address': '50.18.241.247', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PLT67ET5FXCBNMJ35524VSAY75TETJQR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:eb8bfff5-037c-43e3-af45-3ad25b74f564>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://digitalcommons.schulichlaw.dal.ca/dlj/vol37/iss2/6/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e7439a20-9120-4f64-86d3-6dd9a6928424>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '271', 'url': 'https://digitalcommons.schulichlaw.dal.ca/dlj/vol37/iss2/6/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-40\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-108.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.022771120071411133', 'original_id': '277f9353d0b80d1702b59ca36e606cf857b0b8a19ede97b8b9489ca547b84fe4'} |
Symptoms of laryngitis include sore throat, hoarseness, and a scratchy feeling in the throat. Try these at-home tips to soothe laryngitis symptoms.
Publications International, Ltd.
Your voice makes you sound more like a frog croaking than a human talking. Chances are, you can figure out the cause -- whether it was all the yelling you did at last night's hockey game or that cold you've had for the past couple of days.
Don't confuse laryngitis with a sore throat, though. True laryngitis is the loss of the voice or hoarseness, and it's the result of inflammation (swelling) of the larynx, or voice box, and the voice folds. The most common cause of temporary laryngitis is an upper respiratory infection such as the common cold, which is caused by a virus. If the infection is bacterial, you may need to see a doctor to get antibiotic treatment.
The second most common cause of laryngitis is voice abuse or overuse -- such as yelling at that hockey game -- which can leave you hoarse.
The symptoms of acute, or short-term, laryngitis can include pain in the throat or around the larynx, hoarseness, raspiness, the loss of range (noticed especially by singers), tiring easily, and a scratchy feeling in the throat. Constantly clearing your throat can be another symptom.
If you suffer from chronic laryngitis, smoking may be the culprit. Inhaling tobacco smoke increases the mass of the larynx, lowering the pitch of the voice.
One surprising cause of laryngitis is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). That's a long name for what a lot of us think of as heartburn, except that only about half of GERD sufferers actually feel any pain or burning in their chests. A GERD sufferer who feels no chest discomfort is unlikely to be aware that the acid-rich contents of their stomach are coming back up in their throat, especially during the night.
Laryngitis caused by GERD (which is very common among the elderly) can make you feel like you have something stuck in your windpipe. People often mistake it for the mucus of postnasal drip. Symptoms are worse in the morning: You may wake up with a bad taste in your mouth, do a lot of throat clearing, and have hoarseness that gets better as the day goes on. If you suspect GERD is causing your laryngitis, see your doctor.
Laryngitis is usually a temporary inconvenience without serious consequences. But sometimes persistent hoarseness or voice loss is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. You should also see a doctor:
• If pain is present
• If the hoarseness continues for more than 72 hours
• If you've got an upper respiratory infection with a fever that lasts more than a couple days
• If you have any trouble breathing
• If you notice a permanent change in the pitch of your voice, especially if you are a smoker
• If you cough up blood
The problem may be as minor as a bacterial infection that needs antibiotics. You could have polyps or nodules on your vocal folds that cause them to vibrate more slowly, changing the sound of your voice. Or you could have cancer of the larynx, which can be treated with radiation if caught early.
In most cases, laryngitis will recede with rest. If you're experiencing laryngitis, read the next page to find home remedies to soothe your voice while you recuperate.

Stumbling on
That’s the stumble animation. I’m thoroughly sick of it.
1. Just played PES 2011 3D on the Nintendo 3DS.
Quite impressive!!! and a full Master league mode.
When you turn the 3D effect off as well it actually makes the ‘flat’ picture look very crisp and very good graphics, a high end PS2 equivalent id say.
Much better than the previous NDS.
2. Paul—Sounds great, how is the 3DS 3D-effect, overall?
I’ve been tempted all week to get a 3DS, as I know I will get one eventually, so why not now? But no, PES2011 on its own is not enough to tempt me among a very weak launch-day list of games. And I’ve no time at the moment. I know the thing would get maybe an hour’s play from me today and then gather dust for a day or two. Then another snatched hour, then another gap of another day or two…
The one I’m really looking forward to is the NGP this Autumn. I’ve still got a lot of time for the much-maligned PSP. The next-gen PSP is something I’ll make sure I’ve got on day 1. I bet PES will be great on it too, but there’d better be none of this stumbling nonsense.
3. WAs quite impressed by the 3D effect to be fair.
Its mnuch more noticable in player cam mode, you can really get a sense of the space betwen players and how far away players are etc.
Wide cam still looked good just not as 3D-eccentric.
The num circular cushioned joypad on the 3DS feels very nice too.
even in 2D mode it looked and played like a souped up modernised PES6 on PS2.
4. Paul—good to hear that—and does the 3D effect hurt your eyes, give you a headache?
5. I only played for 5 mins mate so can’t really say but it didn’t affect me at all. You have a slider to alter the 3d effect so can always tone it down if it wears on you.
Even in ‘flat’ 2D the screen and gfx were very sharp and a big improvement on the NDS.
6. I think it will be a long while until I get a 3DS. Maybe Santa will bring it for me at xmas.
Yes I believe in him!
Where else do the presents come from?
7. Paul—I’ve warmed and cooled towards the idea of getting a 3DS now. I hear good and bad reports, but the ones that stick in my mind are the ones that describe the 3DS as really just a newer, better DS that happens to have a 3D capability. I will pick one up later in the summer after my OU course is out of the way. It’ll be my reward. And hopefully a few more games will be out by then. I like the look of PES and the Rainbow Six game, but nothing else right now.
8. The Dribbler—there aren’t enough games right now to justify getting a 3DS in my view. Is this the weakest launch line-up for a major new console ever?

Learning from others mistakes?Look through the nerds eye....
The other day I was reading about the 'drama' by a Hyderabad based NRI involved in the scam of money laundering.The person being the director of 'City Limousines Ltd.' reportedly accepted deposits to the tune of Rs.1,500 crores and.....yeah your right.He ran away with the money.
This isn't the first time that such a thing has happened.The promise of large returns has always lured the middle class to invest blindly.
Lets work out a simple math.The banks offer a return of 8% on the fixed deposits.These fraudsters attract you with a RoI @ 16%.That means that the companies should at least earn a return of 27-30% on the investment to pay the deposit holders,meet other expenses and pocket a handsome profit.This in turn means that the person doing business with the company has to earn 36% on his investment to survive.Why would a person shell out that extra money when there are others offering him the same for a much lesser price!?So with the cash losses mounting,the directors have got no other option but to run away with what is remaining.Hard earned money is down the drain.....No.It's in others pockets.....
This happened before.People don't learnt from others mistakes.....
Lets take another example.
Few months ago,a doctor got an e-mail from an unknown person which said that the doctor had won 50K GBP in a lottery(lott of money!) and that he had to mail the reply to the person via e-mail to claim the money.The doctor shelled out money so that the person could clear 'legal' barriers and send him the lottery amount.What happened next is something everyone knows...
A few days later,a software engineer(yes our very own Hi-Tech walah) was duped on the same lines.
People don't learnt from others mistakes.....
Lets take another scenario.The Global recession.
The internet boom started in the 1990's.People were buying computers and taking internet connections(telephone lines provided by VSNL with a 'free' e-mail id).Business started with websites.This saw the formation of JV's which saw investors putting in money heavily in the website business.BOOM!It wasn't long before the famous 'dotcom burst'.
Coming to our Global Recession.The real estate boom saw excess lending on the same security(Subprime crisis-Citi Bank).MBS were brought by major banks in Europe and America.The liquidity crunch followed with the real estate crashing,and mortgagees unable to pay up their loans.Liquidity crunch followed and thus the 'recession' phase of the economic cycle started all over the world.
I'm not saying that the dotcom burst had something to do with the GR.The common factor in the above two examples is high expectations of high returns.The bubble eventually has to burst........
Nothing was learnt from previous mistakes....
By using a wee bit of commonsense and learning from others lessons,many other situations like above can be prevented.You don't need an educational qualification nor a great work experience to take decisions in situations that you come across in daily life.After all Indians are born logical!(That's the reason why the IT industry is booming with our engineers writing algos,bugging and debugging.On the other hand the number of patents pending approval are 716 compared to 40k from the US and 30k from China.)
It's only that we have to look at a situation with an eye of spotting a loop hole,as Sherlock Holmes says "I was looking for it!"
1. Theres a remarkable difference between the first post and the second one.
and this thing u got started, its inspiring! when u start of early, u reach farther. so way to go man!! Nerd Base rocks!!
2. The point I wanted to drive home was that people r not learning from others mistakes.....
3. Nattyy .. u killed it .. and the scenrios are awesum ... ! way 2 go! !
4. Dude good post !! Dnt get so obvious that yu are a comm grad
5. yeah we get that, but who applies man?!

How Many Michelin Stars Does Gordon Ramsay Have?
Gordon Ramsay is famous for his shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef. But aside from being a feisty judge and chef on these shows, he is also the owner of several highly acclaimed restaurants. But did you know he is one of the few chefs who have more than one?
Gordon Ramsay, the famous restauranteur, and tv personality, had 16 Michelin Stars throughout his career. Unfortunately, he only holds seven of them today.
What Does a Michelin Star Mean?
The Michelin brand may sound familiar, and that’s because they are globally recognized for their tires. But the French company is also famous for its annual Michelin Guide. The guide dates back to the 1900s when Michelin encouraged drivers to go on trips to local attractions. The guide included a series of anonymous European restaurant reviews. The reviews focused on the quality, flavor, and personality of the food served. In addition to this, culinary mastery and technique were also taken into consideration. It was only in 2005 when US restaurants were eligible to earn Michelin Stars.
Today Michelin stars are considered hallmarks of fine dining. It is not easy to obtain these stars. Michelin only awards these to the very best in the city. Recipients of the award gain so much prestige and honor that their businesses boom after receiving their star. (Source: Diced)
How Are Michelin Stars Awarded?
A Michelin star is a badge of honor, and a restaurant can get 1 to 3 of them at a time. Having three would be the highest honor, of course. But how is this rated? The method of awarding the star is quite simple. They follow the following system:
One Star: The restaurant is rated as very good in its category, having a great menu and prepares the cuisine to a high standard.
Two Stars: The restaurant has excellent cuisine that is delivered in a unique way. In addition, the restaurant would have something exceptional to offer. It would considered worth the detour while you are visiting the city.
Three Stars: The restaurant has exceptional cuisine and is worth a special journey. This means you would actually visit the city just to eat at this restaurant. This restaurant serves distinct dishes that are executed to perfection.
Michelin inspectors are anonymous, and they have a keen eye for detail. The selected inspectors are prohibited from speaking with journalists and must keep their line of work secret. When they visit a restaurant, they write a comprehensive report about their experience and the quality of food served to them. (Source: Diced)
Did Gordon Ramsey Lose His Stars?
It is challenging to get a Michelin star, and not many chefs manage to get more than one. This is why it is absolutely remarkable that some chefs can attain as much as Gordon Ramsay has. Ramsay, a British chef, TV personality, and restauranteur, has been awarded 16 Michelin stars in total throughout his tenure as a chef.
Ramsey earned his first two Michelin stars while he was working Aubergine in London. He went on to earn several more through the course of his career. Today he only holds seven Michelin stars, and as per the Michelin Guide director, Michael Ellis, Ramsay’s dishes were not consistent.
I started crying when I lost my stars. It’s a very emotional for any chef. It’s like losing a girlfriend. You want to win her back.

What good is it to save one fish while we’re still destroying the ocean with pollution and acidification? ...Is a sushi restaurant that serves bluefin under the table any better than an oil company that refuses to talk about climate change?
Mid-century Japanese referred to tuna as not good enough for the cats. Now it's a delicacy driving bluefin to extinction.

Nothing escapes the deepest trenches of the ocean floor. Not light, not nutrients, not pollutants.
Scientists tested the delicate ecosystems of the Marianas Trench and found highly elevated levels of PCBs, which were banned in 1977 in the United States as a threat to public health.

Ocean acidification, sometimes called "climate change's evil twin," begins with carbon pollution. That has driven ocean acidity up 30%, making it hard for coral, pterapods, and other ocean creatures to build their exoskeletons.
The bottom of the ocean food chain is basically dissolving, and we're doing nothing about it.
Climate change is driving fish away from oxygen-poor regions of the ocean. And the oxygen-poor regions are growing.
At the same time that oceans are taking in massive amounts of carbon dioxide, they're absorbing less oxygen than ever.
The top levels of the ocean are warmer than usual thanks to human-caused climate change. That is leading to an expansion of oxygen-poor hypoxic zones. Fish don't live in those. Large fish, in particular, are threatened by ocean oxygen loss, with the Pacific and Arctic experiencing the steepest declines.

The Role of Gene-Expression Noise in Regulating HIV-1 Proviral Latency
Leor Weinberger, University of California San Diego
Basic Biomedical Sciences
Innovative, Developmental, Exploratory Award (IDEA)
HIV-1 post-integration latency remains the most problematic obstacle facing viral eradication from a patient (Han et al. 2007). Despite extensive knowledge of the molecular components involved in HIV-1 transcriptional regulation, there is a fundamental gap in our understanding of the kinetics of how these molecules interact to form a regulatory “switch” that can establish, maintain, and break HIV-1 post-integration latency in single cells. Specifically, it is now clear that at the single cell level, "noise" (random fluctuations in biochemical molecules) is inescapable and can critically influence developmental decisions mediated by auto-regulatory circuits; how biochemical noise influences entry into and exit from proviral latency is not understood.
The long-term goal of this project is to understand the fundamental molecular mechanisms governing HIV-1 latency in vivo and to identify therapeutic strategies to manipulate HIV-1’s regulatory circuit and therapeutically alter HIV-1’s ability to enter, or reactivate from, HIV-1 proviral latency in the patient. The specific goal of this CHRP IDEA proposal is a pilot study to understand the molecular mechanisms regulating HIV-1 latency in primary CD4+ T cells.
Based on preliminary data, the hypothesis is that HIV-1 utilizes Tat transcriptional positive feedback to amplify stochastic intracellular noise (random fluctuations in biochemical molecules that are inescapable at the single-cell level) and establish a probabilistic molecular “switch” between proviral-latency and active-infection. We have established the feasibility of this hypothesis using minimal Tat-circuit lentiviral constructs in Jurkat cells and showing that (i) gene expression noise in a minimal a HIV Tat circuit can influence a “switch” between active-replication and proviral-latency (Weinberger et al. Cell 2005), (ii) that HIV encodes a novel feedback-resistor motif to regulate this Tat noise (Weinberger et al., PLoS Biology 2007), and (iii) that altering host SirT1 expression modulates Tat noise to significantly influence a single infected cell’s entry into latency (Weinberger et al. Nature Genetics, 2008).
Preliminary evidence suggests that this hypothesis of noise-mediated fate-determination may hold true in full-length HIV-1 in primary CD4+ T-cells.
To test this central hypothesis and determine if Tat transcriptional noise is driving a molecular switch in primary CD4+ T cells, we will directly image gene-expression noise in real-time in single cells during infection and reactivation using fluorescent proteins encoded within recombinant HIV-1 viruses. We will employ an integrated wet-lab single-cell imaging and dry-lab computational approach to accomplish the following two specific aims: (1) Determine, in primary CD4+ T cells, if stochastic noise in minimal Tat circuits is sufficient to reproduce a latency “decision” (2) Determine, in primary CD4+ T cells, if stochastic noise in full-length HIV-1 infection is necessary to generate latency.
This project’s expected outcome is the identification and characterization of potential gene-therapy candidates that can interfere with transcriptional regulation in full-length HIV-1 and bias the molecular decision for HIV-1 post-integration latency. This project is innovative because it will capitalize on recent advances in single-cell microscopy, genetically encoded fluorescent probes, and automated image-analyses to quantify HIV feedback kinetics in live single cells. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8617636561393738}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '10897', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FWRCD7LNQLL7M7YJV33A3O6BN6ECSW3K', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ad0bd5ee-e3bd-4af6-ac9f-d0438f88e4ba>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 29, 12, 42, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '65.49.36.13', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GAUGRG67Q3LYEICGCQS4BF3BOP6CFVVL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0fd6e17d-9f1c-4e8a-98b7-56fa5cad4932>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.californiaaidsresearch.org/funded_research/abstracts/2009_weinberger.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:c6ac39f0-caf9-4b1b-a413-bcbb8c8484f0>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '496', 'url': 'http://www.californiaaidsresearch.org/funded_research/abstracts/2009_weinberger.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.12187314033508301', 'original_id': '0771287255b9174a1d3e2ecdae555f03c4386a39eb9a0c4fd85aff514bb26e1d'} |

Planting for butterflies and bees
Get our planting plan for a colorful garden you (and winged visitors) will love
Sharon Cohoon
Provide food, and guests are guaranteed. It's true for people, and it's true for butterflies.
Furnish your garden with nectar-rich flowering plants, and monarchs, swallowtails, and other winged visitors will drop by regularly, bringing beauty and motion with them.
Add some larval plants for their caterpillar offspring to chomp on, and your butterflies won't dine and dash ― they'll stick around to mate and lay eggs.
You don't need a lot of space to create a butterfly garden. The one here, designed by Sunset test garden coordinator Bud Stuckey, measures just 8 by 10 feet.
For ease of care, he used only perennials, no annuals. Most plants, including the asters, black-eyed Susans, and lantana, are nectar sources; larval plants include Asclepias and sedge.
To make the area even more appealing to butterflies, Stuckey added an urn fountain for them to sip from and a trio of flat rocks where they can bask in the sun. Concrete pads invite human visitors to step into the garden.
The pads, called Tuffits, are from Cottage Gardens of Petaluma (707/778-8025).

The Most Common Mistake Teachers Make When Teaching PE
How many times have you found yourself in the following situation? You have spent hours (maybe days) preparing for a lesson, and the materials are collected and in order. The students can detect that you are very excited to teach this lesson, so they are excited too. The students are in front of you, you have their full attention, and you go through the rules or instructions. You look at the clock, and realize that you need to get started soon so they have ample time to play the game or activity. When you glance back at the class, you see nine students, urgently raising their hands, with a look in their eyes that screams, “I have a question!”
What do you do?
Many people’s first impulse would be to say, “Let’s get the game started, and if you still have questions, then I will answer them as we go along.” You’re just trying to be efficient with the time, maybe the game requires a longer time frame to play, plus you can see these students need to move and get some energy out. While any and all of these reasons are justifiable, starting the game without answering questions is a big mistake.
I understand the dilemma; these are Montessori kids after all. They are going to have lots of questions. Every question you answer takes time away from being able to play the game. The worst is when a student asks a similar or even the same question as another student just a second ago. Sometimes those students need to be reminded to listen (especially if they were talking to a friend), but sometimes that student truly did not understand something the first time around. Nonetheless, it feels frustrating answering questions when you have this great game for them, and they are eating up their own time asking all these questions.
However, one reason we want to get students started on an activity prematurely is our own ego. We need to remove our ego from the result of the game, or how much the students like and enjoy it. We may be so proud of the game that we want to see it implemented as soon as possible so we can say to ourselves, “Look at what I have created. The students love it!” To be motivated and excited is not a bad thing, but that excitement should not get in the way of giving the students a chance to understand the activity completely.
Every PE lesson should have time devoted for asking questions. If the questions go past the time you had allotted for the questions, that is a good sign that the initial explanation needs to be tweaked so more information is understood the first time. If the students are asking a lot of questions because they were not paying attention, then using strategies like seating arrangements may help in preventing so much distraction in the first place.
Here are some reasons why letting students ask questions is so important:
· Students can ask about portions they were unsure of or didn’t hear well
· Students will ask clarifying questions to test the boundaries of the game (which is a sign of critical thinking)
· Answering questions will help you better understand the rules to the game
· The students may ask a question you (the instructor) did not consider at all
· Answering questions up front will eliminate the need to stop the game half way through to explain rules
I had the recent experience in developing a game on sportsmanship (which you can download here for free), and a question from a student prompted a rule change, which made the game much more fun. The game teaches the tenants of sportsmanship, and there is an element of risk vs. reward in the game. The students are trying to score as many points as possible, and passing the ball can potentially and dramatically make the shot worth more. Part of the rule set is if the ball is dropped on the ground, then the team’s score goes to zero. I had assumed (in my head) that if a shot was missed, then the score goes to zero. However, one of the students asked, “What if someone catches the ball (rebound) before it hits the ground?” This had not occurred to me, but I said, “If the ball doesn’t touch the ground, then that potential score is saved.” This small rule change, prompted by an excellent question, made the game much more dynamic and fun for the students because now they had another way to contribute to the overall good of the team.
If you allow your students to ask questions before the game, the time it takes for the questions and answers will pay off ten-fold in the end. The students will use more advanced strategies because they understand the rule set better. More students may participate because they are not afraid to try now that they understand the game. One question can change the whole dynamic of a game for the better. We are successful as educators not by teaching facts, but by teaching our students to ask great questions. Part of Montessori Physical Education is allowing our students to ask those great questions. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9747416377067566}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '60256', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RUY2LMPS3C55YII6O3IA2UXTIFSDIWOI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:52cdbe0f-90f2-4cf4-a913-210c6c4008bf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 22, 10, 18, 18), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.185.159.145', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:BJ7VNONFDINKK3Q6BCJPBG23XEQKXR6K', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f0cec66b-bda1-426c-8ec1-b469fe541913>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.montessoriphysicaleducation.com/new-blog/the-most-common-mistake-teachers-make-when-teaching-pe2018/9/16', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:66bd9285-cb45-436d-bada-9442bbfb713b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '871', 'url': 'https://www.montessoriphysicaleducation.com/new-blog/the-most-common-mistake-teachers-make-when-teaching-pe2018/9/16', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-69-221-252.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02452462911605835', 'original_id': '1a73cb6aa4ac8bb10d9356b39bd454c981be7c4ed1fa4c289277833707b09b32'} |

Spanish minister resigns after report he was found to have avoided tax
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Culture Minister Maxim Huerta resigned on Wednesday from a week-old government, following local media reports he avoided taxes while he was working as a TV journalist a decade ago.
Huerta, who was named to the cabinet by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez last week, told a news conference in Madrid he was "absolutely innocent" and had paid a fine to the tax ministry related to the period 2006-2008 after a change in their criteria. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'bb3caac1bdc67e9f5ad6342c24970fb3b34972abf868323045ecdd71df1b3f39'} |

I think you should still use the emoticon. I loved it :)
Funny thing: We are so similar Phins!
I had a beauty mark in the exact same spot. I didn't think it was bad :) I thought it was kinda cool. I was shy about it though when it came to others. When I started serving at Chili's during college I had a group of teenagers come in and I was at a table nearby taking and order and I heard them making fun of it :(
A few weeks later, uninsured I paid out of pocket to have it removed.
It was wierd after... Please continue the :.) It's so you and I love it!!

\section{Characteristic times Ring Element is Ring Zero}
Tags: Rings, Characteristics of Rings, Rings with Unity
\begin{theorem}
Let $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ be a ring with unity.
Let the zero of $R$ be $0_R$ and the unity of $R$ be $1_R$.
Let the characteristic of $R$ be $n$.
Then:
:$\forall a \in R: n \cdot a = 0_R$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
If $a = 0_R$ then $n \cdot a = 0_R$ is immediate.
So let $a \in R: a \ne 0_R$.
Then:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = n \cdot a
| r = n \cdot \paren {1_R \circ a}
| c = {{Defof|Unity of Ring}}
}}
{{eqn | r = \paren {n \cdot 1_R} \circ a
| c = Powers of Ring Elements
}}
{{eqn | r = 0_R \circ a
| c = {{Defof|Characteristic of Ring}}
}}
{{eqn | r = 0_R
| c = {{Defof|Ring Zero}}
}}
{{end-eqn}}

The Last Kingdom Season Three Heads To Netflix
Season three of The Last Kingdom launches on Netflix next month as a ten-part box set, featuring a host of new characters including Ola Rapace (Hassel) as Danish warrior Bloodhair, Thea Sofie Loch Næss (One Night in Oslo) as the dangerous seer Skade, and Magnus Bruun (Below The Surface) as Cnut.
Born the son of a Saxon nobleman, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon) is captured by Danes and raised as their own. But as he embarks on a quest to reclaim his birthright, he is forced to tread a dangerous path between both sides and play his part in the birth of a new nation.
In season three, King Alfred (David Dawson) begins to consider his legacy as his dream of uniting the kingdoms of England is jeopardised by incessant Danish attacks, and he knows that the only man with the power to crush the uprising and secure the Wessex dynasty is Uhtred.
However, as their volatile relationship reaches breaking point, Uhtred must confront the difficult truth: if he deserts Alfred’s cause, everything he has fought for will be forever changed.
The Last Kingdom season three launches on Netflix in the US and UK on 19th November, with a global release to follow at a later date. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9689390063285828}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '46365', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QMSM6Z4BANFONRF5UAE3ULAKVQAFLQZG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b02deb19-b2cb-4f92-bb48-c72e681a83ae>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 4, 43, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.254.208.150', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ADEC6ONBYKQ5QVUCEVMREIWYMVGFEDTR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cd477927-1a13-4f69-a438-54a624b922a5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://nordicdrama.com/the-last-kingdom-season-three-set-for-netflix/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:159efae8-70ef-41f2-a8e7-e78a4cd8280f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '209', 'url': 'https://nordicdrama.com/the-last-kingdom-season-three-set-for-netflix/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-101-220-24.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.019526422023773193', 'original_id': 'd1bed65b645bb35c432636118b60e35572fe9fcbc7801f4727dd1f99b7bb4bf5'} |
Amtrak, owners of 30th Street Station, needed to replace the board for many reasons, primarily because it failed to be accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The letterforms were too small and light, they used all upper-case, which is difficult to scan, and the sign was not highly legible at any great distance.
A large digital display will replace the board, and nearly all the reaction on social media has been negative, anticipating something garish and out of place.
Amtrak removed their analog board at New York Penn Station in the past couple of years as well. As a part of the reviled Penn Station, it didn’t have the same nostalgic value for New Yorkers as 30th Street’s sign does for Philadelphians, but what they replaced it with probably gives a good indication of what’s to come for Philly: | mini_pile | {'original_id': '380b54a2178602f46801bcca621733d4140611c02bea98ec314b6a928225eeab'} |

Movie review: 'Keeping Room' explores violence at home during wartime
Director Daniel Barber has a talent for sussing out the brutality intrinsic in the everyday.

From Florence & The Machine’s “Delilah”
From Florence & The Machine’s “Delilah”
How to disrupt the rules of dance
Choreographer and director Holly Blakey tells us about working with Florence & the Machine and Gucci on her own terms
Catch London choreographer Holly Blakey in the studio, and you’ll see her circle her dancers like a bird of prey. Eyes transfixed, body unconsciously mirroring their movements, she’s not looking for mistakes, but ways to improve things, a perfectionism that has brought her to the top of her game both as a commercial choreographer and as a pioneering artist.
Starting when she was three-years-old, in a small ballet school in a garage in Lancaster, Blakey went on to train professionally before entering London’s intimate live art circle as a contemporary dancer. Quickly frustrated with the scene’s stagnancy, she got a gig choreographing Jessie Ware’s video for “Night Light” and realised that working behind the camera was a better fit. She’s since made videos with respected, cult musicians like Mica Levi and Gwilym Gold, choreographed the likes of Florence & the Machine, Klyne, MØ and Mabel, and worked on films for Dior and Gucci. The fact that all this commercial work somehow made her less esteemed in the world of dance didn’t go unnoticed, however: “I felt that presented bigger questions about how the art world is extremely elitist, how work made for mass culture holds less value,” she explains. “My peers were sitting around making work for each other, when actually, as artists, isn't our role to be reaching out to people, to be coming together?”
Enter Some Greater Class, a Bacchanalian dance performance Blakey created two years ago. Featuring eight of her most loyal and trusted dancers, she’s currently reworking the show for a fresh run at The Southbank Centre. “It’s a response to my involvement with popular culture, as a maker, and to my context as an artist in the dance community,” she says. “But it’s also a story about the bigger picture of social connectivity and how we can use dance, at its very primal source, to somehow make things more manageable for ourselves.” Below, Blakey explains how she’s remoulding the world of dance into something more egalitarian.
“I’m trained in acro and ballet, but the kind of dance I do isn't about technique; I go on feeling. That can just mean closing my eyes and moving my body, without music. It’s about being completely committed to what you're doing and not letting inherent movement in, liberating yourself from your mind, being completely honest and shutting down the barriers that you put up for yourself. I always think, with ballet, how can you make work that’s authentic when you've got one toolbox to work with? I don’t use a formula, I just shut myself away, find the central point of what I'm thinking about and then there might be one movement that I’ll do over and over until I find that the commitment lies somewhere else, and then suddenly I’ll do things slightly differently. My work changes all of the time.”
“I’m a really physical person, so I’ll always be working in the studio on my own before I meet with the dancers. There’s something meditative about the routine of setting your alarm for 6am every day and being militant with yourself. In hindsight, not getting into dance school right away, because I had been ill, is one of the best things that has ever happened to me: it made me work harder to try and prove everybody wrong. Now I train alone a lot. Not always dance, but also yoga – because work has a low centre of gravity and is not upright and pretty, yoga supports my practice a lot better than ballet. When you've been a dancer your whole life I think looking after your body is just paramount, but I’m still a bit of a ying and yang person; I’ll eat really well and drink loads of water for a week and then, of course, ruin it all at the weekend.”
“I was bored of people telling me what the dance should look like” – Holly Blakey
“I find that working for film, I always have a client, I always have someone I have to answer to. I started directing my own films because I was bored of people telling me what the dance should look like, tired of people saying they want you for what you do but then they want a watered down version… or that they want something you've done before rather than something original, even though the thing you did before was only good because it was original. I’ve had a really fruitful career working as a choreographer for music videos, fashion films and online content – it was much more liberating than moving in small London live art dance circles, cultures of people who all operate in a similar way – but lately, for the freedom, I’ve been pulled back to making things that are live.”
“In the dancer’s I work with I always look for individuality, a genuine free thinker, intelligence, someone who doesn't just want to be a vessel, but wants to contribute to the work. Musically, my main, long-term collaborators are Gwilym Gold and Darkstar. We’ve been working together for two years, on Some Greater Class and recently another show called Abide. We are very close; we spend a lot of time together listening to music together and dancing together and I guess you can see that in Some Greater Class – it has a raucous energy, a 4am fucked up feeling – I do that a lot with Gwilym and Darkstar so it supports the work, but also I rate them extremely highly as artists.”
“Some Greater Class is choreographed to a tee. Nothing is left up to chance unless someone does something wrong. But for “Abide” we did things differently; we created a set of rules triggered by things that happened in the music. Each of the dancers had a theme – like tragedy or shame – and they had different points in the music that gave them their triggers, so it was about seeing what happened randomly; they didn't know when the trigger would come or when to repeat it. It was a kind of ‘roll the dice’ way of making work, and behind that, there were lots of over the top principles of emotion to embody through the movements. It’s a really longstanding practice to make work just about aesthetic; Merce Cunningham would roll a dice and the form in the space would change in accordance with the outcome, the dance borne on those moments. Because I usually work extremely emotionally, not from that sort of abstract, formulaic view, it was interesting to see what happened.”
“Some Greater Class is a kind of pastiche of what a music video should look like, a lot of shaking bums. I hope the risk in it is that it’s really unashamed, very pure to its point. It’s not a ballet, some virtuoso spectacle of what a dancer can do with the body, although it can be that. It’s more about this punk idea that the system doesn't work for so many dancers. There’s a revolt hammering under the surface at the moment in dance, that the institutions have been the same for so long and it’s a fucking middle-class white wash. Putting on a Breakin Convention once a year doesn't mean anyone else does it the rest of the year. And Ballet is this strict thing, there are rules and people are so afraid to move away from the format. If we’re talking about progression in dance, you might see a book on Martha Graham, talk about ballet or Beyonce, but what about everything in between? The industry isn't allowing these things to flourish but there is a lot in between and are a lot of choreographers who are trying to do it. It’s not just me.”
“I’m still a bit of a ying and yang person; I’ll eat really well and drink loads of water for a week and then of course ruin it all at the weekend” – Holly Blakey
“When it comes to business, I think it’s about being confident enough to know what you're doing is worthwhile and not being shy to reach out and say, ‘I think you should know about this thing I'm doing’, to ask people around you to shine a light if they have that sort of torch. I have no barrier between personal life, work life and studio life and that can make you mad vulnerable or make it difficult to know how to navigate yourself in different situations because if someone is pissing you off they're pissing off every part of you. I think for me, artists are a funny mix of self-assuredness or confidence versus shatteringly low self-esteem, but when it comes to dance I don't really have any doubt in what I'm doing, and I think that’s why it works. I think people can sense doubt. But it also helps that I have a massive team of people who work with me. And that I love what I do – dancing gives me something nothing else in the world can, it’s therapy.”

Differences between Online Loans and Bank Loans
Differences between Online Loans and Bank Loans
Australia has not been left behind with the proliferation of online loan options. Institutions such as prospa make it possible for potential borrowers to access loans from wherever they are. There are distinct differences between online lending and traditional lending procedures.
Online loans are readily available when you need them. For some period, banks were reluctant in offering unsecured loans to small business owners making it hard to access financial aid. As much as they have become less uptight, online lenders like prospa still give more unsecured loans than banks. They make taking out loans easier and readily available.
As an online lender, prospa allows you to apply for a loan anytime you want and anywhere. Its convenience makes it a quick option for your small business. Compared to banks where you would have to be physically present, you can secure an online loan from the comfort of your home.
Online loans have a creative approach such as peer-to-peer lending. It allows you to earn interest as they lend money directly to you within the online lending platform. Another method is whereby it will enable you to get family and friends to co-sign some small segments of your loan. This allows you to get a loan if your credit is not the best.
Online fees are relatively lower because you don’t have to pay for expenses of maintaining a physical bank. However, they may increase their interest rates since most of their loans are unsecured. Even with an increased interest rate, you may find yourself paying less than what you would pay in credit card interest.

Model traits / characteristics - how to *be* a model

Apologies if there has been a thread on this before, or if it's a bit of a weird topic.
I am currently trying to move to a point where I can model full time. I've met with a couple of international agents and have had success, one of them told me to lose a bit and then he wants to meet with me again in a few months and if my measurements are good he wants to send me overseas.
Obviously I know that models must be thin and have good skin (another thing I'm trying desperately to settle) etc, but I was wondering;
What are some things that you notice about models that make them seem so perfect? What are those traits or characteristics that set them apart from just a pretty girl?
I'm guessing that some of these things come over time, but I'm interested to know what the SG community has to say about their favourite models / models in general, especially at this point when I'm trying to transition to doing it full time (and am looking for inspiration) :)

Confidence would surely be a trait of paramount importance for modeling, however hard to develop when first starting out. Might be one of those jobs where it's necessary to fake the confidence until you actually have it, but I can't imagine anyone doing a good job at modeling and giving the photog the shots needed if they are nervous, scared, tense, and awkward.

That's true, I don't ever think I've seen a photo (or very very rarely see one) where a model looks un-confident.

Don't bitch and complain.
That's true of any job though, there are people at my work who always bitch about having to do this and that, and I just think, well, no one is forcing you to be here just leave if you hate it so much lol
Enjoy the process, be confident, be friendly, smile, don't be too trusting but don't be cold.

Tall, skinny, with good skin. I don't think that there are any other common traits that divide successful models from those who are not (apart from obvious things like being dedicated to their work, confidence, showing up on time, etc- but that's a key to every successful career).
Most successful models have something about them that draws attention- but again, it's more of a something you feel, and less of a physical trait.
I feel like it's also a bit of luck- different looks are in demand in different years. Brazilian models with a more "sexy", tanned look, Slavic models with blonde hair, fair skin and delicate features, androgynous models… A lot of looks that would never appear on runways a decade ago are now everywhere. While modeling used to have a lot to do with being classically beautiful, there are a lot of models now who could not even be called pretty, but have unique, strong, interesting features which make them good at modeling.

-Don't be ungrateful.
-Don't bitch/moan/whine - what makes you so special to get special treatment? There is always going to be another girl ready to snap up your place.
-RESPECT your agent and have a good relationship with them. This is key.
-Don't be in it for the free stuff. Modeling has its perks but there are so many out there who get greedy and only want the free goods. Be gracious about it but if you're in this business for the perks, you are in the wrong industry.
-Don't hate on the Russian (or actually any Eastern-European) models. So many of these American models bitch about them but honestly, they are the most hard-working ones. It's in the blood.
-Be determined. Get ready for 1am phonecalls and 2am castings. Again, don't EVER whine or bitch. Would you rather have a boring 9-5 or be fitted for a vintage Gaultier piece at 2am in the morning? I know which one I would choose...
-Get ready to be offended. People will make remarks about you, your body etc. Don't take it personally. Take their advice and don't retaliate: shut them up by giving them the results.
-Be nice to everyone - backstage crew, make-up, hair etc. This reflects well on you, the industry is very small and it will be in your favour.
-Good posture, respect people and treat others how you would like to be treated.
Most of all, good luck.

Get a phone with an e-mail plan.
I've run into trouble a few times because I wasn't at home and couldn't check my e-mail.
Look-wise, for me it's a VERY tall girl (5'10-5'11, I feel like a midget at 5'9), walks in heels without trouble, wears heels to the casting (doesn't change into them once she gets there), can turn the basic model uniform into a great outfit, can dance (seems weird but this helps with having "fluid" movements in real life).
All I can think of at this moment.

The King Assassination and CNN Disinformation
CleanPrintBtn gray smallPdfBtn gray smallEmailBtn gray small
By Dr. William F. Pepper
As a friend and colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., during the last year of his life, James Earl Ray’s attorney, for the last ten years of his life and, finally, lead Counsel for Dr. King’s family in the 1999 civil trial which brought forward evidence from 70 witnesses over 30 days in Memphis, I am compelled to comment, for the record, on the most recent documentary on the assassination by CNN which is being aired on an ongoing basis. The fact that my participation in the program was used to give it some credibility makes this comment even more relevant.
It is one matter to distort the truth of how this great American prophet was taken from us, but quite another to have mainstream media perpetuate disinformation on matters of such public importance to the citizens of the Republic. An expert witness, at the King family civil trial, William Schapp, set out the historical use of government disinformation through mainstream media, dating back to the 1920’s.
The first half of the program was dedicated to James and his background and history. While the program notably failed to provide a motive as to why this escaped convict would even consider such an act, and racism had been excluded by the earlier Congressional investigation, it was hinted at by a reference of his refusal to go to a work farm attached to the Missouri prison because of the number of blacks in that facility. In fact, James was afraid of becoming tied into drug activity which was going on there and having his term extended. He would regularly roll dice with black co-workers when he worked in a shoe factory.
The program went on to allege that he and his brother robbed a bank in Alton, Illinois, on July 12, 1967. This, allegedly, was the source of his funds, so he did not need the handler he identified as Raoul, who we would eventually identify. I don’t know the former detective they brought on camera, but closer to the time, 1978, I spoke with the president of the bank and the Chief of Police, and both told me that the Ray brothers had never been suspects, and in fact they believed that they knew who did the robbery, but did not have enough proof to charge them. Further, they confirmed that despite mainstream published reports they had never been interviewed by the Congressional investigators, the FBI or the reporting media’s investigative reporter.
In the second half of the program, the disinformation ran rampant; just a few examples illustrate this point. The failure to match the throw down rifle to the death slug became “inconclusive”. What does that mean? There was no ballistics match. The gun was not and could not be regarded as the murder weapon, and introduced into evidence as such. Yet it remains mounted in the Civil Rights Museum as precisely that; now with CNN’s blessing. We had four witnesses who saw figures in the bushes (one New York Times reporter, Earl Caldwell), two observed the shooter coming down over the wall, another (Reverend James Orange) saw smoke kicked up and rising from the bushes, and another who saw the owner of the Grill which backed on to the Lorraine Motel, rush, from the bushes, past her into his kitchen still carrying the smoking gun he took from the shooter. CNN converted all of this evidence into one “unreliable” witness. The next morning that crime scene was cut down and cleaned. The CNN report supported the official story that the shot came from the bathroom window. It was well known that we had a reliable witness who saw the bathroom door open, with the light on, minutes before the shooting, and no one inside. It was empty, of course, because the shot came from the bushes. A clip from a CBS interview with a roomer who saw someone running down the hall was cut off just before the reporter showed him a photo of James, and he said that was not the man he saw. The man carrying the throw down bundle of items James was told to leave in the room (which also contained the throw down gun) dropped them in a doorway and got into the second Mustang and drove away. We had a witness who identified that Mustang as having Arkansas plates. It was parked south of James’s Mustang. We had two witnesses (one from the Corps of Engineers) and signed statements, evidencing that James drove away from the rooming house about 20 minutes before the shooting. All of this was known and put under oath, and ignored by CNN.
Perhaps the most egregious action involved the use of the aged Captain of the fire station, diagonally opposite the Motel. When I learned from military sources that a psy ops unit of two photographers was on the roof of the station, and one of my investigators interviewed both army photographers, I sought him out ten years ago. At that earlier time he, testified under oath that he put them on the roof, watched them unpack their still cameras and then left them there. He never saw them again. Now 9 years later CNN puts on this old man who is clearly confused about what he did back then and may not even have remembered his courtroom testimony. They use that interview along with a photograph of the roof taken at a time when the soldiers would have had ample time to disappear, to assert that they were never there. It gets worse. When I suggested to the CNN reporter that they interview the Captain, he said he was dead. They obviously did not want me to speak with him.
There was more of the same, but surely, this is enough to constitute an insult to the memory and legacy of Dr. King, an injustice to James Earl Ray and a violation of every tenet of fair and objective reporting.
William Pepper was the attorney for the King family In the Memphis civil action against Loyd Jowers and others, known and unknown, for causing the wrongful death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…

Could former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu sign with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent?
If Saints Pro Bowl receiver Michael Thomas has his way, Mathieu will.
Thomas then reacted by taking the time to send a recruiting message to Mathieu:
A native of New Orleans, Mathieu played for LSU from 2010-2011.
Mathieu has spent all five seasons of his career with the Cardinals, totaling 11 interceptions.
Is it realistic to envision Mathieu with the Saints?
No, but it's still not likely.
The Saints will likely lose safety Kenny Vaccaro to free agency, and they do use a lot of three-safety sets, but Mathieu may be a little too rich for their taste, especially considering the team already has Marcus Williams and Vonn Bell at the position. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9625328183174132}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '143474', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FK5G47O5J75VNUBTISBDNLLXE56SFH3Y', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ea3df0ed-67d6-4ae2-a9a6-ae7941d886c0>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 27, 13, 1, 21), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.229.173.169', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Y5GHPA7YAD2SFZ4EGUYU52HSYXSVSBK7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5b857cb3-f255-4c08-8641-20195450cf5f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://espn1420.com/michael-thomas-wants-tyrann-mathieu-to-sign-with-saints/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d15bf56d-5a12-4c2a-a6ba-8409c01ff5b8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '128', 'url': 'https://espn1420.com/michael-thomas-wants-tyrann-mathieu-to-sign-with-saints/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-183-105-77.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.035226404666900635', 'original_id': 'e56dadc360ae458ca684c2fbc9cbc118cf729fb0f5c9a8275ebbcada18cf6a28'} |

Why you need to know
Here are some fun facts about the Hsinchu Hakka culture for you to learn as you travel through the city!

Translated by Olivia Yang
Hsinchu is the well-known Windy City with many scenic and cultural landscapes. It houses the lively National Tsing Hua University and National Chiao Tung University, the engineer-packed Hsinchu Science Park, the traditional Japanese style Hsinchu Train Station and the meatball rice noodle soup in front of the City God Temple (城隍廟). But aside from all these, there is another distinctive travel option-the local Hakka culture.

What comes to your mind when speaking of the Hakka culture? Colorful Hakka fabric? Stir-fried pork intestines with ginger? Fragrant pounded tea (lei cha, 擂茶)? These are all elements of the Hakka culture people generally believe, but aren’t enough to represent the true spirit of the Hakka life. Here are some fun facts about the Hsinchu Hakka culture for you to learn as you travel through the city!
First impression of the Hakka culture: the Hakka people know their farming
Hsinchu has many Hakka communities and is one of the largest Hakka strongholds in Taiwan. The impression that Hakka people are good at farming has been passed down for generations, but there is an arduous reclamation story behind this belief.
When the Hakka people first arrived in Taiwan around three hundred years ago, they had a tradition due to the difficult environment: both men and women had to work in the fields to build a better life together. Up to this day, the determined Hakka women in their bamboo hats and un-bound feet (for going into the fields) are still the first impression many people have of the Hakka people.
The Hakka people are good at clearing up the land and doing fieldwork. They tackle the toughest hills and valleys with their sophisticated skills and experience. The “Taiwanese, Hakka and Aboriginal Collaboration" in the early days refers to the Taiwanese, Hakka and the Pingpu indigenous people working together to cultivate the plains and hills of northern Taiwan. The Hakka people would use their skilled hands to fill the rocky valleys and clear up the wasteland so it was suitable for planting crops. Looking out across the green rice fields and the earth full of vitality, one would think the land had been enchanted.
Second impression of the Hakka culture: Hakka food is simple with little delicacies
The Hakka people are honest, so their cuisine reflects their living environment. There was a shortage of materials in the early days and crops in the fields were a steadier source of food. Therefore, vegetables, pickled vegetables, rice, and tofu were the main ingredients Hakka people used to cook. The Hakka people even have a nickname for the cheap tofu, “life bag," for how dearly they treasure the food.
The people also catch freshwater fish in the rivers or ponds when they have some free time away from the fields. But because it is more time-consuming, they don’t often get to enjoy fish. Saltwater fish is even more difficult to come across and the Hakka people only get to enjoy it a few times a year. This leads to the Hakka saying, “The poor doesn’t know any better and has as much rice as they can with their fish." Whenever there is fish on the table, everyone can’t help but have more rice, even if there’s not enough, because the fish is too good.
But also because of the difficult environment, the Hakka people eat whatever they can get. They don’t have a habit of fancy cooking, and do not use complicated techniques to handle the ingredients. Instead, the Hakka people emphasize on local ingredients and authentic flavors, just like what Italy and France have been promoting for the past few years. Other than paying more attention to sautéing when seasoning their food, the Hakka people seldom come up with extravagant names for their cuisine or materials.

Lard rice, brown sugar (“black sugar" for the Hakka people) rice, stir-fried pork intestines with ginger, shrimp egg (diced shrimp fried with egg), and so on; the flavors are simple, but delicious, and go well with rice. Very few Hakka restaurants can present the authentic flavors of this traditional cuisine, so ask around when you visit the Hakka villages in Hsinchu and you might still get a chance to relish the traditional flavors.
The third impression of the Hakka culture: the Hakka people are very frugal
“Being frugal" is a Hakka virtue and is a strong ethnic characteristic shaped under the harsh environment of the past. In the early days, the Hakka tradition was to use the ingredients to their fullest and refrain from wasting them because food wasn’t easy to obtain. Each October, the farmers would harvest the second crop of rice of the year and start planting crops that grew faster, such as radish and leaf mustard, two or three months before Chinese New Year, so they could harvest again before the holidays.
The crunchy leaf mustard is softened after drying under the sun and is taken to the grain-drying fields in the evening where they are covered with a layer of straw and salt. Adults and children roll up their pants and start stamping hard on the dried vegetable. Afterwards, the leaves are pressed down by stones and stir-fried with minced meat the next day after being washed. This is the famous dish, “pickled potherb mustard (雪裡紅)." The leftover dried vegetable is put into a large jar and pickled for seven to eight days, which is the well-known “Hakka pickle" (also known as sauerkraut). Hakka pickles can be cooked with a lot of things, such as duck, pork stomach, pork tripe, soups and so on. This is because the pickles go well with everything. There is even a Hakka characteristic, “pickled type," meaning a person is easygoing and gets along with anyone.

In addition to “pickled type" people, there is another interesting kind, the “taro-leaf style." These people usually run out of money from spending paycheck to paycheck. The description comes from the Hakka people noticing how water doesn’t stay on taro leaves and rolls down instead. This is just like how some people can’t keep their money in their pockets. Going back to Hakka pickles. If the pickles haven’t been finished, the Hakka people would dry the leftovers on bamboo poles for two days and then stuff them into sealed jars placed upside down, just like the people who plank on the streets. The vegetable at this phase is called “planked vegetable(仆菜)" because it’s placed upside down. After it completes fermentation, the sourness of the pickle vanishes, leaving only a sweet fragrance. Taking it out of the jar and leaving it to dry for a few more days and cooking it with minced meat turns it into the famous dish, " pork steamed with pickled mustard cabbage(梅乾扣肉)."
The different stages of the pickles impeccably reflect the frugal sprit of the Hakka people.

Fourth impression of the Hakka culture: use everything to the fullest without wasting a single morsel
In addition to being frugal, the Hakka people have also come up with a lot of ways to make use of everything because of the shortage of materials in the past. Take persimmons, a famous fruit of Hsinchu, for example.
Persimmons are rich in tannin, but taste dry if eaten directly. The intelligent Hakka people pick the persimmons that are almost ripe and dab some lye onto the end of the stem near the fruit and then wrap up the fruit airtight. After a few days, they have sweet and soft persimmons to eat.

Whenever the northeast monsoon starts blowing (also called “winds of September" in the Hsinchu area), the season to make persimmon cakes has arrived. The Hakka people peel the fruit and leave it to dry under the sun. After it turns softer, the people shape the fruit with their hands, flattening the round persimmons. The fruits that have been dried for five to six days are called “persimmon navels (柿臍)," which is the most delicious phase for persimmons. The fruit becomes hard and blackened if continued to dry, and turns into dried persimmons that can be preserved for a long time. A layer of white fruit powder, called “persimmon powder (柿霜)", covers the surface of the fruit in this stage. The Hakka people brush the powder off and use it to treat sore throats, asthma, and coughs, turning it into a very natural and useful medicine.
It seems as if the Hakka people really know how to maximize the value of everything. However, even though the people are prudent to themselves, they are still very generous when it comes to treating others. During the short resting time in the fields each October, Hakka villages entertain one another with banquets. Chicken, pork and so on all make it to dinner tables with people chatting and laughing. This is the warmest picture of the farming life. After the short break, the Hakka farmers start bustling about again, getting ready to plant the final crops before the Chinese New Year. Among the hustle and bustle, years go by just like that.
Take a Hakka cultural trip next time you visit Hsinchu!
Whether it is to visit the Yimin Temple or monuments, tasting the ginger lily flower cuisine or strolling around the old theater at Nei Wen Old Street, reminiscing the old railway tracks of the Qing dynasty in Hukou, gazing at the puzi forest (朴子林) near the coast of Xinfeng, the rich local culture and villages of Hsinchu are all worth spending two or three days taking in and experiencing.
Next stop, Hsinchu! Let’s go anywhere!

Memory: How important it is to your studies?
Memory: How important it is to your studies?
Human brain has (1) Frontal lobe (2) Parietal Lobe (3) Occipital Lobe and (4) Temporal Lobe. The human memory system functions from these four lobes. The memory system can be broadly defined as:
• Motor Memory
• General Sensory Memory
• Visual Memory
• Auditory Memory
• Taste and Smell Memory
The whole process is very complex.
• Memory Processes
• Memory Types
• Useful Memory Techniques
Memory Processes:
Memory processes involves 3 main levels – the 3R’s – of information/data processing:
1. Registration
2. Retention
3. Recall
For a good memory a student requires all the 3R’s in top functioning alert always. Registration requires your planned effort to register the matter that you have learnt. Registration is liable to be distracted from competing info or preoccupation with some other information.
Retention deals with the registered information being kept in store on a long-term basis for possible recall. It is possible only by regular use of stored info.
Recall process is the most important phase of memory. There are low level and high-level recall in the memory process. In low level you recognize the information very vaguely. In high level you recognize the info instantly and quite accurately.
Memory Types:
Broadly there are (1) Short term and (2) Long term memory. Here the process involved is recall for your memory strength is measured in how soon and how vividly you recall the registered and retained info.
In short term memory you register, retain and recall info for a short space of time. Short-term memory has limited capacity and therefore, can only recall very less info. Anything you want to do immediately, needs short term memory and recall. Any one-time info that you use once with no further use is short-term memory.
In long-term memory the info stored can be recalled for a long time. Long-term memory can handle a rather very large amount of information/data. What is in regular use such as your lectures, address, telephone number etc, can be on long-term memory storage.
Useful Memory Techniques:
If you understand the info correctly then registration and retention will be very good and this will facilitate easy and faster recall. On anything you show intense interest, you are likely to retain such info for a long time. The following are important for a good memory.
• Attention: Pay undivided attention on the info you study
• Repetition: This is very, very important. Every time you repeat info, which you have already stored, strengthens your memory.
• Association: If your stored info is associated with the new input or vice-versa, the chances are your will remember it much better.
Important memory-retaining techniques are Mnemonic techniques:
1. Link system
2. Peg system
3. Mental movie system
In link system: This is the basis of almost all mnemonic systems. Let us for example take it that you have a shopping list, say, (1) Tomato sauce (2) Bread (3) Wheat flour etc. What you have to do is to visualize the first item and link the other items through vivid imagery. You can imagine a big bottle of tomato sauce you pour on a piece of bread, which was placed on a plate above a contained labeled wheat flour.
In peg system you use a series of numbers and device a system of rhymes for each, which are associated with pictures or imagery. Example: one-run – imagine a horse is running in a race, two-zoo-imagine that you are in a zoo with a monkey, three-tree-imagine a big banyan tree, etc. If we rearrange the link system example mentioned above, we visualize a horse running with a tomato sauce bottle in the riders seat, a zoo where you walk with a monkey who has a piece of bread and finally a banyan tree on which people throw wheat flour. The rhymes can be extended to any numerals.
In Mental movie system you encode your info in the form of mental movies. Suppose you are a History student you can, for example, connect your historical essay in the form of a movie connecting the places, personalities and dates vividly with even visualized titles and sub-titles.

RC planes aren’t cheap, and crashing even a $200 model can be heartbreaking given how much work is required to build and test it before your first flight. So imagine how these guys feel when their half-scale Saab Gripen, measuring 26-feet long and weighing over 220 pounds, simply disintegrated in mid-air.
Unfortunately there’s no one to blame for this catastrophe but those responsible for its construction and the pilot at the controls. The jet engines worked fine, there was no mid-air collisions, but apparently the stress of flying was enough to weaken its airframe to the point where the tail broke off, causing the craft to suddenly nose up and then boom.

Diabetes and nutrition: Healthy holiday eating tips, red meat and disease risk, and going vegetarian
Despite greater awareness about diabetes in recent years, a recent study found that nearly three in 10 Americans have the disease but don't know it. The findings also showed that among those who were diagnosed with diabetes, a significant percentage weren't meeting goals to control their blood sugar and blood pressure or lower their LDL cholesterol.
This Thursday, Kathleen Kenny, MD, a clinical associate professor at Stanford, and Jessica Shipley, a clinical dietitian at Stanford Hospital & Clinics, will discuss why eating healthy is a key component of diabetes management and prevention. The Stanford Health Library event will be held at the Arrillaga Alumni Center on campus; those unable to attend the event can watch a live webcast of the discussion.
In the final installment of our two-part Q&A with Kenny, she offers tips to avoid overindulging on sugary treats during the holidays, explains why you should consider limiting your consumption of red meat, and outlines the benefits of a vegetarian diet.
Many of us have a hard time refraining from indulging in high-calorie foods during the holidays. What’s your advice to those trying to make healthy choices during holiday season?
The holidays don’t have to be a stressful or trying time for patients with diabetes. Patients can adhere to a few simple strategies to help prevent weight gain and hyperglycemia. Some people will find it beneficial to eat a nutritious snack, particularly one that is high in fiber, and to drink lots of water in advance of a holiday party, rather than arriving hungry.
Buffet tables and appetizer trays can be problematic. Count toothpicks and stop snacking when you reach a certain number of toothpicks in your pocket. It is always a good idea to find the smallest plate available, when there are options, so as to reduce portions. Another tip is to limit alcohol intake; not only will this itself reduce liquid calories, but it will help individuals to make smarter choices. Substitute sparkling mineral water with lemon or lime. Eat lots of veggies at snack tables. Avoid calorie and sugar-dense sweets, or limit to one.
The most important aspect is to devise a plan in advance of a holiday gathering, and stick to it. Set your predetermined limits. Spontaneous choices will tend to be less healthy ones. Finally, if you are going to indulge a bit more, try to take a brisk walk afterwards to help reduce the glycemic impact of your meal.
Previous research has shown that decreasing your red meat consumption can lower your type 2 diabetes risk. Why does eating red meat influence a person’s diabetes risk?
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association last year found an association of higher-diabetes risk with increased intake of red meat (about 30 percent higher with average increased red meat intake of ½ serving daily, adjusted for weight and BMI), and the converse, a lower risk in those who decreased their red meat consumption over a four-year period in the subsequent four years (14 percent reduction in diabetes risk by reducing consumption by more than ½ red meat serving daily over the baseline measure, some of which was mediated by reduced BMI with lower red meat intake).
This data was based on food questionnaires, and was a compilation from three prospective cohort studies involving almost 150,000 men and women. One of these cohorts, the Women’s Health Study, showed a 28 percent increased risk of developing diabetes in women in the highest quintile of red meat intake. On further analysis, this seemed to be largely mediated by higher intake of processed meats such as hot dogs and bacon. Note that these studies do show an association, but not clear causation in terms of red meat and diabetes risk.
One theory of causality proposed is that compounds such as nitrates and nitrites added in meat processing (sandwich meats, hot dogs, bacon), can be converted to “N-Nitrosamines”, which are thought to be toxic to the pancreas insulin-secreting beta cells. Thus, eating a bologna sandwich may be different in risk than eating grass-fed organic beef. But we don’t have enough data at this time to be clear on this. Regardless of the nitrate content, red meat is still high in saturated fats, and this in and of itself is associated with higher cardiovascular disease risk. Additionally, higher red meat intake was associated with more weight gain and higher BMI in this analysis.
Is a vegetarian diet more preventative than other types of diets?
Vegetarian diets may be helpful in preventing diabetes, and in reducing hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. This is likely due to the high-fiber content of most vegetarian diets, which blunts the post-meal rise in glucose level, and also to the early satiety that a diet high in fiber promotes. Additionally, most studies show that the typical vegetarian diet is lower in calories than a non-vegetarian diet, and vegetarians consequently have a lower BMI on average than other individuals.
Many of the components of a typical vegetarian diet are also associated with lower cholesterol and a reduced rate of cardiovascular disease. For example, it is known that foods like nuts, oats, barley, plant sterols, and soy protein help to lower LDL cholesterol. Since cardiac disease is the number cause of mortality for diabetics, any diet that can accomplish a goal of both controlling sugar and reducing heart disease must be promoted. A vegetarian diet may also help diabetic patients with kidney disease. A diet high in animal protein may contribute to hyperfiltration in the kidneys, and may hasten diabetic kidney damage; by elimination of animal protein this may result in renal protection with a vegetarian diet. Finally, a vegetarian diet rich in fruits and vegetables is packed with phytonutrients with antioxidant potential.
Most data on the relative benefits of vegetarian diets come from long term cohort studies, one of the largest of which was the Seventh Day Adventist Study Cohort in California. This was a group of more than 20,000 individuals studied for over 20 years. In this group it was shown that vegetarians had a lower rate of diabetes, and a lower rate of cardiovascular disease and total mortality compared to non-vegetarians. Similar results were found in European cohort studies. In terms of randomized trials, a trial done at George Washington University in 2003 showed that a vegetarian diet compared to a conventional ADA diet, proved better at helping diabetics reduce their A1c level (-.4 vs 0.01) with equivalent drops in weight at the end of the study period. This was interesting because it showed that there were putative benefits to a vegetarian diet in diabetic patients compared to other diets, independent of their weight loss effect.

I know my audience, and you’re in their way.
I love Tap Out and I believe that it is relevant to today’s teenage boys while also being one that they will read. Because of the language, violent sport that is MMA and the dark situation that is Tony’s life, your book will probably never find its way to a school’s library. It wouldn’t surprise me if it found it’s way to becoming a banned book. Does that bother you?
The above question is one I am answering for a blog interview that will appear early next month, but I had to post it here, because it focuses on the exact issue I’ve been turning over since Tap Out was released.
It’s all about audience. And mine is teens. So how are they ever going to get their hands on a book that adults are afraid of?
I have no idea.
That fact frightens me, because of the missed opportunity. Tap Out is not a suitable fit for every teen. No book is. But to shoot it down because of the language, violence and darkness is a disservice to teens for whom the novel is a reflection of their lives, as well as for teens who would benefit from a bit of perspective broadening.
I have a friend who is a high school principal in a district wrought with poverty and at-risk youth. He purchased multiple copies of Tap Out, not just because he’s a friend, but because after reading the novel knew it would service his students. And it has. His in-school suspension room–ironically monitored by an MMA fighter–has copies on hand for students who come with no work, a common occurrence. They sit and they read Tap Out and they are glued to the pages. Others come to my friend’s office and he puts copies in their hands. One boy in particular sat in the middle of lunch, not eating, ignoring his friends, who usually help him get in trouble, and he read. He LOVES Tap Out.
Without the audacity to believe that his students can handle a piece of fiction, these students would most likely never have read Tap Out. They would never have had the opportunity to learn about how Tony fights through the language and violence and darkness of his world toward something better. He is the embodiment of the maxim: Never give up. What student couldn’t benefit from that message, especially one that emerges from such dire circumstances?
I am certain my novel will be banned, and that makes me angry, but more, it frustrates me. I have trouble grasping how other YA stories that are rife with all the unsavory qualities of contemporary teens are deemed appropriate and Tap Out is not. I think it’s the honesty of the portrayal. Tony and Rob and Charlene and Amy exist. They are not too-quirky characters that you want to date. They are hardcore, rough and tumble and genuine. Their stories have value, even if they’re disturbing. If we as readers, librarians, teachers and writers dismiss a story because it is filled with an unsanitized portrayal of the cast-offs in our society, what are we saying? What are we teaching?
You can’t handle this.
They don’t matter.
I couldn’t disagree more. I know my audience. I wrote this novel for them, because these characters, they do matter. Without certain luxuries of life, we could all be one of them. Or as the saying goes, “There but for the grace…”
So now, everyone who is in my readers’ way, please, step aside.
As anyone who is trying to connect with the world knows, audience is key. It doesn’t matter if you’re a writer, musician, artist, or businessman, it’s all the same. The connection to those people who you believe your “product” is for will make or break you.
I’ve been thinking about this because of recent chatter about the negative vibe between authors and reviewers on Goodreads. I’m not entering that fray. People more knowledgeable than me have already addressed the issue. My takeaway, however, is that somewhere there is a disconnect with the audience. The people who the author wants to read his or her work either are not, or are, and are behaving inappropriately. It’s a sad state of affairs because often a good review can elevate and enough negative can achieve just the opposite.
This, of course, has forced me to think of advertising and marketing and what I know of the “business model”. I am an educator and a writer. I do not hold an MBA, yet I am faced with these principles of business every day. Education is changing towards this end and writing books is a business. Therefore, I must market, I must advertise, I must reach that audience who is everything. But how do I do that? How do I reach the teens who I know will be changed by Tap Out, or whose eyes will be opened, or those who will be able to hand my work to someone and say, “This is my life”? How do I achieve this and at the same time avoid those who will shoot down my work because it’s uncomfortable?
The short answer is that such is an impossibility. The long answer comes from Seth Godin’s blog this morning. I’ve included the image from his post below:
For me, it’s the story I must now build. Not the one I’ve written, but the one around Tap Out. Why does Tap Out matter? How is it different? Why should anyone care? Fortunately, I’m gaining help with this. Below is a review from the School Library Journal that says it all:
DEVINE, ERIC. Tap Out. Running Press Kids, September 2012. pap. $9.99. ISBN 9780762445691.
Gr 8 Up—Tap Out by Eric Devine is the memorable and heartbreaking story of Tony, a boy whose mother has constantly been dating a variety of abusive boyfriends throughout his childhood. Even though he wants the abuse to stop, Tony knows he can’t win a fight between any of them. When Cameron, one of the worst abusers, comes along and gets his mother to start doing drugs again, Tony knows he needs to get rid of him. After agreeing to go to a mixed martial arts class with his best friend, Rob, Tony instantly falls in love with the sport; it helps him relieve his anger at his mother, Cameron, and his terrible living situation in the trailer. When a drug problem arises in the neighboring trailer, Rob and Tony unwillingly become tied in as well. While Tony and Rob both share problems, each deal with their own by themselves. Tap Out deals with social status, teen pregnancy, heartbreak, and drugs, all situations today’s teens might relate to.
Starting with the first page, Devine instantly captures your attention and holds it until the very end. Something is always going on whether it deals with drugs, fighting, or just what the characters want to do with their lives after high school. When I first read about mixed martial arts, I thought it would be a story that only guys could relate to, but after reading it, I realized that both genders can enjoy the novel equally. However, I didn’t like the ending. It was good as far as the plot, but the outcome was terrible. Overall, I thought the storyline, the drama, and the characters were all thoroughly put together. Personally, I’d recommend this book to any of my friends.—Sarah A., age 15

Please, do me a favor, pass it along to someone for whom it is. Build the story of my work.
