A LA CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE Dans sa dernière réunion, la Chambre de Commerce du Mans a émis le vœu suivant Les coupures de moimaie. Que les succursales de la Banque rle France reçoivent de nouveau dans leurs caisses les coupures dont elles avaient supprimé l'intercirculation. Les élections consulaires. A un questionM»îre émanant de la Commission sénatoriale <'t commerce, la Chambre a répondu de la ftçon suivante Vote par correspondance non vote obligatoire non suppression du deuxième tour fia scrutin oui, s'il n'y a pas de concurrents. EI1 faveur d'un sectionnement des cantons avec ouverture d'un bureau de vote dans les communes ayant plus de 50 électeurs et le rattachement des autres communes au bureau le plus voisin. Enfin, la Chambre voudrait voir au Mans trois catégories basée? les divisions rationnelles et non sur des .classes fiscales industrie, commerce de gros et demi-gros, commerce de détail. Participation anx bénéfices. A une enquête du ministère du TraKkil sur la participation du personnel aux bénéfices de toute entreprise ou exploitation, la Chambre a répondu par un avis nettement défavorable. L'EXPOSITION INTERNATIONALE DE 1923 Serons-nous prêts Srcns avons posé cette question à M. G. Gourdon. directeur technique de l'exposition du Mans qui doit s'ouvrir le 6 mai prochain. Il nous a répondu Les bâtiments de l'exposition sont dès aujourd'hui prêts il recevoir les exposants. Ceux-ci ont été individuellement avisés de bien vouloir prendre toutes dispositions pour l'installation de leur stand. Je les ai instamment priés d'envoyer leurs marchandises d'urgence pour qu'elles arrivent en temps voulu. Les stands particuliers pourront ainsi. ri les exposants le veulent bien et nous ne doutons pas qu'ils fassent diligence, être au point le o mai. La date d'ouverture reste ainsi fixée au 6 mai, et comme vous le savez la première visite officielle à l'exposition du Mans sera faite ce jour-là par M. d'Aubigny, député de la Sarthe, sous-secrétaire d'Etat aux Finances, qui en juin reviendra au Mans avec M. Dior, ministre du Commerce. Le temps détestable de ces jours derniers nous a gênés pour les travaux de peinture des extérieures des bâtiments et pour les jardins, mnis il n'est pas trop tard. Nous poussons Mtivment entrepreneurs et ouvriers. Nous pensons pouvoir enrnptpr sur leur bonne volonté pour arriver 'i regagner les quelque jonrnbes que la pluie nous a fait perdre. A MarsPillp. ou l'ouverture officielle avait eu lieu en avril, on travaillait encore en juin il. l'édification rie certains bâtiments et ft trnrer des jardin. Nous fraisons tous nos efforts pour qu'il n'en soit pas de même nu Mans. Nous enregistrons avec plaisir cette déclaration de M. le directeur de l'Exposition du Mans, à laquelle nou3 souhaitons le succès mérité par les efforts de ces dévoués organisateurs. UN CLOB RÉGIONAL D'INSTRUCTION PHYVQUE VA ETRE CRÉÉ AU MANS Un club régional va être ts* au Mans, n cinq minutes du terminus Tram-Hôpital, bon air. Il sera organisé et dirigé par M.

Il comprendra cinq tennis, et on étudiera la possibilité d'en couvrir deux et de les éclairer à l'électricité un jeu de baskettball, un jeu de volley-ball, une piste de courte, des sautoirs, un hangar avec agrès, une salle de culture physique, de rééducation /physique, gymnastique respiratoire, médicale (exécution des prescriptions des médecins) une salle d'armes, un tir réduit, leçon de natation, préparation au C.P.S.M. hydrothérapie, vestiaire, lavabo, w.-c.; un laboratoire de physiologie (pesées, mensurations, contrôle physiologique de l'exercice); un salon de lecture et correspondance, véranda (cure d'air, ensoleillement); une buvette, un garage, jardin anglais, petit bois, etc. Les abonnés à l'année auront droit pour eux et leurs enfants (et des invités de la famillj pour un prix supplémentaire modique) à l'accès et à l'utilisation de toute l'installation tous les jours à quelque heure de la journée et aux leçons spéciales du moniteur ou de la monitrice, etc. Il n'y aura aucune dépense supplémentaire en plus de l'abonnement, sauf pour le linge et la buvette.

Envoyer d'urgence au Commandant Charlent, 2, avenue du Pont-de-Fer, une adhésion de principe ,pour un abonnement d'une année, en indiquant. nom et prénoms, adresse, nomhre d'enfants, âge, sexe, date. signature. Appel aux Manceaux Nous avor* reçu à ce sujet du centre régional d'Instruction Physique une communication dans laquelle les organisateurs font connaître le bon accueil que les autorités ont fait à lei;i projet et qui continue ainsi La parole est maintenant aux Manceaux, comme nous l'indiquons au bas de notre prospectus. Nous nous refusons à croire comme quelques esprits timorés nous l'ont laissé entendre que la population de la ville du Mans ne s'intéressait pas à cette installation, qu'elle ne la fréquenterait pas pour toutes sortes de mauvaises raisons nous nous refusons à lui faire cette injure. On nous a dit « Voue aurez des difficultés, il faudra être tenace n, cela n'est pas pour nous arrêter sur le bon chemin. Les prix paraissent aussi un peu cher. Que l'on veuille bien réfléchir un instant et l'on se rendra compte que nous ne pouvons pas mettre sur pied et taire vivre un établissement modèle à prix réduit. Nous ne nous mettrons pas à la tête d'un établissement quelconque et qui serait mal tenu. Mais il est bien évident que si l'on vient à nous très nombreux (nous pourrons fa.ire grand, très grand), les prix pourront baisser. Le tarif d'abonnement du prospectus est provisoire il sera revu et complété avec prix plus faible, 100 francs par exemple, pour les enfants des deux sexes âgés de moins de 20 ans. Ici, nous voulons rassurer toutes les sociétés sportives de la Ville elles nous connaissent bien elles savent combien nous leur avons toujours été complètement acquis, dévoué et qu'il n'y a pas place parmi nos idées pour celle qui consisterait à vouloir leur faire concurrence. C'est au contraire pour elles que nous travaillerons, en faisant de l'éducation physique, laquelle doit précéder les sports et la spécialisation. a Notre salle d'armes eera une filiale de celle du maître Auger. Ce n'est pas notre tir réduit, où damas, jeunes filles et jeunes gens pourront s'amuser, qui portera ombrage à la belle et vaillante société de tir que préside le commandant Hartius, laque! n'en est pas à attendre ici de nous des compliments. Au contraire, nous lui préparerons des tireurs à grande distance et à l'arme nationale, qui est le tir véritablement nécessaire et utile. Nous pensons en avoir assez dit pour décider les indécis. Notre idée n'est pas de créer un établissement susceptible rle rapporter des mille et des cents. Non, notre but est plus beau, plus élevé, mais il faut qu'il vive bien et c'est pour cela que vous y viendrez. c Si les papas et les mamans trouvent que la promenade pour s'y rendre aura suffi à leur besoin d'exercice, et bien, ils trouveront au salon, rlans les jardins et bosquets. toute une installation parfaite de repos, un calme jeu de croquet, un jeu plus calme encore, le bridge, quoique ce jeu s'anime parfois beaucoup. Enfin. nous n'aurions pas fait connaîtra toute notre pensée, si nous ne terminions en disant Et lorsque cet établissement modèle fonctinnner.-i. vivra, pourquoi n'étendrait-il pas se; bienfaits aux enfants de toutes les écoles, en leur apprenant pour rien ou presque rien, à nager en recevant les enfants pauvres envoyés par les médecins, enfants dont les parents ne peuvent pas payer, ou peu, et qui, pour cette raison, ont justement droit à toute notre sollicitude, ont droit quand même à, la vie, à la eanté, pour être demain de bons citoyens, de solides défenseurs de la patrie, de bonnes épouses et de bonnes mères de famille « Commandant Chaînent.

A Wolf By Any Other Name – Fiction It was half time of the Monday Night Football game, and The Patriots were rolling over The Jets with little mercy. The analysts and color-men were doing their utmost to keep the game somewhat entertaining, droning on with an inexhaustible supply of statistics and facts about both clubs, but it was a lost cause. Jed began snoring quite happily in his lazy boy recliner that was auspiciously placed cold dead center of the massive 57” plasma TV that stood impressively in the middle of the living room. Not all modern things were a nuisance. In the cup holder on the faux leather armrest of the massive chair was a half empty St. Paulie’s Girl beer, brother to the half dozen crushed and empty cans on the floor beside him. Jed had headed straight to Cody’s Irish Pub and Grill after work for a few with the boys, and after several hours of good ole camaraderie, had weaved his Chev pickup truck back home. Parking odd angle in the driveway, Jed had half walked half staggered his way to the side door of his house at the end of Cindy Lane and spilled his huge frame into the kitchen. “Helen?!” he had bellowed, “get your skinny ass down here and fetch my supper.” After kicking off his boots and still greasy from a day’s work at the garage, he staggered to his chair and flopped into it heavily. “Helen!” he screamed again. While Jed was frantically searching under his ample posterior for the TV remote, a mousy little woman appeared in the doorway of the kitchen. Her gaunt silhouette stood motionless while her small eyes regarded the scene in front of her. “Jed…” she whispered, “Are you drunk?” “What? No! I stopped and had a few with the boys at Cody’s is all. Now fetch my supper, woman!” he slurred at her bitterly. “Jed, you were supposed to take me to my cooking class tonight.” Helen persisted. “You’re what?” he barked while locating the remote and flicking on the TV. “My class, at the library hall, for cooking.” She persisted. “You said you wanted me to take it.” “Oh that…ya, so I don’t have to eat dog crap five nights a week!” he chuckled at his own cruel remark. “That’s tonight, huh? Well, I’m busy, git your Ma to take you. That old cow should be good for something! And dammit wife, bring me some food or I’ll give you a beating” Jed waved a threatening fist in the air. On the third ring Jed opened his eyes. The cackling choral of the kitchen phone had stirred him back to consciousness, and he tried earnestly to focus his eyes. His tongue was thick; his mouth felt sale and sour; like it had been stuffed with pig excrement. ‘Prolly from my supper’, he thought to himself. His head was already pounding like a bass drum, and although his immediate state could not yet be described as a full-fledged hangover, it was clear one was on the way. On the way, with a vengeance. The shrill scream of the phone split the air again. “Alright, god dammit!!” he shouted at whoever was on the other end of the unanswered phone. Shaking the fog from his head, he rose slowly from his lazy boy throne and stood tentatively beside it, grasping the head rest for balance. The phone screamed again and prompted him to cross the living room to the kitchen door. He flipped the light switch and the painful flash of florescent light made him close his eyes. The worn linoleum floor and peeling yellow wall paint were burned onto the back of his eyelids. He stared at the image until it faded, then opened his eyes slowly. With a rolling stomach, he reached out for the lime green plastic receiver hanging beside the cupboards. Lifting it, he cut the last screeching ring in half. “What?” He bellowed into the mouth piece. There was silence, but someone was there. He could hear their breathing, and the hollow ambient noise that surrounded them. ‘Phone booth?’ he thought absently, but lost track of the idea as a tiny voice spoke to him reluctantly. “Who the hell else would it be? You phoned my god damned House! Helen? Who is this?” he demanded. “It’s Kathrine Jed, I’m sorry. I thought I may have misdialed.” Kathrine was Helen’s mother, and it was obvious by the camber of her voice, she was not relishing this call. “No, you didn’t misdial, lucky freaking me. What do you want?” “Can you, I mean please, could you pick Helen up from her class?” Kathrine stammered. “Why woman? Can’t a man relax and enjoy one confounded evening on his own without being harassed by the meaningless needs of women!” He spat the last word at her like venom from a cobra. “I’m watching the football game! I work damn hard to look after your daughter Kathrine, Damn Hard! And all she has to do is feed me, keep this pigsty clean and spread those skinny little legs of hers once in a while. Not a lot to ask Kathrine! Is it?” “No, Jed, it’s not. It is my request, not hers.” Her voice dropped as if embarrassed. “There was a coywolf spotted on Center Rd, Jed. I’m scared. The library entrance is on Center Rd.” “You are a stupid old woman, you know that!?” He shouted. “There ain’t been a coywolf in Essex since before you was born. That was ages ago” “No no Jed, please, it was on the news. It’s true. They think he’s living in Essex Village Forest.” Jed rolled his eyes as she spoke. “Her class was done ten minutes ago Jed, please. She will be standing out in the parking lot all alone. I’m just too scared to open my door, Jed… please.” Jed cut the conversation short by slamming the receiver back into its cradle. “Coywolf!” He roared in exasperation. “You simple bitch!” Shaking his head, Jed bent to pick up his boots. A sudden wave of nausea washed over him and he grabbed the wooden chair by the boot mat to steady himself. He sat and swallowed hard several times forcing the rising bile to retreat down his throat. “Easy, big fella” he whispered. After a few deep breaths, he laced up his work boots and stood. ‘Damn you Kathrine, I need this like I need another rotten tooth’ he thought. Jed grabbed his truck keys from the hook on the wall and slipped them in his pants pocket as he swung open the side door. The cold slapped him in the face like a scorned mistress; snow was still falling and had already left a good three inches on the ground. Standing on the single concrete step, Jed looked up to the dark sky and let the flakes settle on his cheeks. A few more deep breaths of the crisp night air helped to steady him. After a moment, he reached back inside the kitchen and flipped the switch for the outside light. The uncut grass tops were illuminated; still poking through the top of the snow, they shimmered green in a sea of white. At this rate it wouldn’t be long before there was a good covering, and Jed wouldn’t need to worry about cutting the grass again until May. It was still a mystery to him why in the hell Helen couldn’t run the mower. Useless, that bloody woman was. He pulled the door shut behind him and stepped down onto the grass. His left foot slipped just a little and Jed reached out for the door handle. Just at that moment, the bare bulb above the door hissed and popped, painting Jed and the entire backyard in blackness. Jed cursed something unintelligible as his right hand brushed against, but failed to grasp the door handle. His slight slip turned into a stumble, and he lost his balance on the glistening surface. Jed hit the semi-frozen turf hard. A sharp pain shot through his left hip and elbow as he howled in shock and agony. His cry echoed off the trees of the forest behind his house and slowly faded into the muffled and dead air of the night. He lay there wishing all manner of hateful curses on his wife and her mother. They would both pay for this, of that he had no doubt. Slowly he rolled onto his back and sat up, ignoring the pains, he tightly squeezed his eyes shut and slowed his breathing. It was then he heard it. A low, guttural snarl, somewhere in the darkness, in front of him, just outside of the ribbon of light spilling from the window in the kitchen door. He froze, straining his eyes against the inky blackness. The stillness pounded against his ears like waves crashing against a break wall. Then it came again, closer, menacing… hungry. Could it possibly be? The coywolf? In his backyard? Impossible! More likely a dog scrounging for garbage he startled with his fall and ensuing antics. But a dog would run. His heart pounded and the taste of fear, bitter as sheered copper flooded his mouth. “Piss off” he shouted into the darkness as he frantically scanned from side to side and tried to pin point the source, or locate a weapon. A few yards to his right, a rusty garden spade lay in the snow. He placed both his palms flat on the ground on either side of his legs and inched himself in that direction. The growl came again, immediately, and seemed to have shifted more to his right side, the spade side. “There’s a good boy”, he soothed as he inched closer to the spade again.”You don’t want an old man like me.” He glanced over his shoulder, the spade was within lunging distance now. Just as Jed decided to go for the spade, the coywolf sprang from the shadows. It was huge, easily 100 lbs. Its gray fur flashed against the moonlight as he sprinted towards Jed. Jed rolled onto his belly and pushed off with both feet while extending his hands forward. His right hand landed on the shaft of the spade, he gripped it as tightly as he could, despite his hands numbing from the snow. Rolling onto his back, Jed swung the spade in a long overhead arch. The massive gray beast slid under the head of the spade without effort and embedded his long white teeth into Jed’s left calf. They were like porcelain needles, easily piercing his thick cotton pants and sinking deep into the tender flesh. Jed wailed out in anger as he felt the blood spurt from his leg and fill his boot. Then the burn came as if a thousand fire ants were writhing beneath the skin. His eyes blurred with tears as he screamed again and blindly swung the spade at the shaggy mass attached to his leg. The vicious snarls stopped briefly and the scorching pain in his leg tripled as the spade contacted the coywolf. Its teeth sank deeper as it clamped its jaws tighter. It didn’t want to lose its purchase due to the blow. A hollow twang rang out from the spade head, and Jed kicked wildly with his other foot. A loud crack, like the splintering of dry firewood came from the coywolf’s snout as Jed’s boot heel drove down on it. The coywolf yelped and released its grip momentarily. Jed drew both his feet up, pulling his knees to his chest as quickly as possible, narrowly avoiding the snapping jaws of the beast as it tried to regain a solid hold on his flesh. His thigh was seething with pain. The beast retreated slightly, keeping his shoulders square and his eyes locked on Jed’s. The creature coiled back on his rear haunches, but did not pounce. He simply stared. Saliva was dripping from his jowls, the threat of its hunger emanating from deep within it in a terrifying gnarl. Jed grasped the spade handle with both hands, tensing, ready for the next attack, never breaking contact with the black remorseless eyes of the coywolf. It sprang without warning and in a hare’s breath, the snapping jaws were again descending on Jed. He curved the spade in an upward motion and with all his strength, smacked the thin end of the blade against the lunging animals head. He felt the skull split and give way as an inhuman squeal filled the air. The top half of the monster’s head lopped off and flew one way into the shadows while the spade head, flashing briefly in the kitchen light, flew the other. The bulk of its carcass crashed onto Jed’s lap and stayed still. Jed sat motionless for a minute, feeling the weight of the animal across his legs. Not trusting it was dead, he poked it savagely with the broken handle of the spade. When there was no response, he kicked the carcass off himself and stood. Jed spat on it. Then kicked it, and spat on it again. “Screw you, you piece of shit!” he roared. “Who in the hell do you think you are!!!” He laughed almost hysterically. Refocusing, Jed realized he had to move fast. Using the broken spade shaft as a crutch, he hobbled his way to his truck. He needed to get to the university medical center as quickly as possible. He was feeling faint, and he knew speed of the blood loss was compounded by the amount of alcohol in his system. Still, he was feeling lucid and figured he could make it. Jed smirked to himself in the darkness. No bloody coywolf would better Jed Coleman. He sure as hell taught that lil doggie a lesson. He stopped beside his truck and fished for his keys in his front pocket. “Uh huh! Been a lot of underestimating of Ole Jed around here lately!” His numb fingertips dropped the keys as he drew them from his pants and they fell to the snow. He cursed silently. “Well, that’s gonna change right quick round here. Will be a few more lessons coming up!” He muttered as he stooped to pick them up. “Is that so?” a small voice from behind him asked quite demurely. Jed glanced up to see it was Helen standing just off in the shadows. She stepped forward quickly. What in the hell was that in her hand? A baseball bat? “Hel…” he didn’t get a chance to complete the word as Helen swung with all her might and the sweet spot of the Louisville Slugger caught Jed right across the temple. The crack that echoed through the still air was rivaled only by The Giants pennant winning “Shot heard round the world” by Bobby Thomson in 1951. With a spray of crimson and an animalistic grunt, Jed collapsed to his knees on the driveway. Helen stepped closer and reloaded the bat up onto her shoulder. “You ain’t never teaching me a lesson again, Jed Coleman” she hissed and brought the bat down over the back of his head with a sickening thwack. Splintering bone and spraying brain matter spewed in every direction as she brought the solid stick of ash down again and again. Finally, after expelling her years of pent up frustration and misery, she stopped. Quickly she pulled his wallet from his back pocket, took the cash and then tossed the empty purse beside her husband’s lifeless body. She dragged her feet through the snow down the driveway. She was wearing an old pair of Jed’s wellington boots. She would discard them later in the dumpster behind Franks Motorcycle Sales and Service. Right now she had to hurry up the street to Sand Hill Rd. where her mother was waiting in her Honda with a change of clothes. She would change, and mother would drop her back at the library where Helen would phone her old high school sweetheart, the Sheriff. Then, in a very concerned voice, she would tell him Jed had never showed up to fetch her from her cooking class, and could he please, please give her a lift home? 5.00 avg. rating (99% score) - 2 votes About Author: A Canadian born Brit with a bad case of wanderlust One thought on “A Wolf By Any Other Name – Fiction Comments are closed	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '267', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.975635290145874}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '128284', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:N5RHJN3RIDZHQKJ5O3PK4UFFWDESK34K', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2ecf3261-b7bd-4b93-b2db-b66880fea420>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 18, 18, 4, 46), 'WARC-IP-Address': '66.147.244.153', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:KLDKRAP6OJ222KCB6CTHUDXFXP5YXL2O', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8d92ab11-98e8-4906-8b86-6be4e9ff0c6c>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://thewanderinghippy.com/2017/06/09/wolf-name-fiction/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dbd041e0-a644-43e5-ba41-427875a1f87f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '2834', 'url': 'http://thewanderinghippy.com/2017/06/09/wolf-name-fiction/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-185-153-145.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': '0.03413558006286621', 'original_id': 'd7372ac2b0691a81e458436e6d965e1484df5a5332607385ae8cdedd3ffdad9b'}
Back to Client Info Index There are numerous conditions that cause problems with a cat or dog’s skin, but the most common, by far, is allergies. Symptoms of allergies You may correctly recognize allergies in the dog by the symptoms: In cats the more common symptoms are: A dog or cat who is allergic to something will show it through skin problems and itching. Let’s make one point "perfectly clear": a pet who is allergic to something will show it through skin problems and itching (that is, it is pruritis). If a pet is allergic to something he inhales (atopy) like certain pollen grains; something he eats (food allergy) such as beef; something he lays against (allergic contact dermatitis) like a wool carpet; or an insect bite (urticaria or hives); the pet usually just won’t have (in the same order) a runny nose, vomiting, a rash where it touched the suspect substance, or a larger than normal swelling at the site it was bitten. In fact the pet probably won’t have any of these signs. What the pet will have is a mild to severe itching sensation over his body and in dogs, maybe a chronic ear infection. Allergic dogs will chew on their feet until they are irritated and red (the feet are the only place dogs have sweat glands and these become inflamed with allergies) Allergic dogs rub their faces on the carpet or couch, scratch their sides and belly, and because the wax glands of the ear overproduce as a response to the allergy, they get ear infections with bacteria and yeast "over growing" on the excessive wax and debris. The skin lesions of the allergy are usually the ones the dog produces by mutilating his skin through chewing and scratching. Sometimes there is hair loss which can be patchy or inconsistent over the body leaving a mottled appearance. The skin itself may be dry and crusty, reddened or oily depending on the dog. It is very common to get secondary bacterial infections of the skin due to these self-inflicted lesions. Such infections may be treated with antibiotics. Dogs and cats are allergic to: Pets are commonly allergic to tree, grass and weed pollens; fabrics such as wool or nylon; rubber and plastic materials; foods and food additives such as any of the individual meats, grains or colorings; milk products and benzoic acid; house dust and dust mites; and, of course, flea bites. The molecules the dogs are allergic to are called "allergens". The body's response to an allergen The reason that all these allergens cause itchy skin is that, simplistically, when allergens are inhaled, ingested or come in contact with the dog’s body, they cause the immune system to produce a protein referred to as IgE. This protein then fixes itself to cells called "tissue mast cells" that are located in the skin. When these mast cells that are combined with IgE respond to allergens, they cause the release of various irritating chemicals such as histamine. In dogs, these chemical reactions and cell types occur in appreciable amounts only within the skin. Genetic factors and time influence allergies Remember that pets must be exposed to the allergen for some time before the allergy develops. Exceptions may occur such as an allergy to insect bites which may develop after only a few exposures. The pet's body must learn to react to the allergen. It is a learned phenomenon of the immune system that is genetically programmed and passed from generation to generation in several breeds. Allergies are especially common in certain terriers such as the Scottish, West Highland White, Cairn, and WireHaired Fox; Lhasa Apsos; and larger breeds such as the English and Irish Setter, Retrievers, and the Dalmatian. Allergies are also well documented in the Pug, Miniature Schnauzer, and English Bulldog. There does not seem to be any breed disposition for allergies in cats. In pets, allergies usually start to develop between one and three years of age. They may start as late as age 6 or 8, but over 80% start earlier. To make matters worse, as the animal ages it usually develops allergies to additional things and the response to any one allergen becomes more severe. Diagnosing allergies Confronted with a scratching pet and frustrated owner, it is too easy for a veterinarian to miss a diagnosis or at least fail to make the owner fully understand the problem. Sometimes vets take the easy way out and "shotgun" the pet with several different medications hoping that at least one will hit the target and make the signs go away. If the pet stops scratching, the hair starts to grow back and the owner can sleep nights…all may look well but the allergy is not necessarily cured. Most allergies are the inhalant type and are seasonal (at least at first). The dog or cat may be allergic to a certain tree pollen that is only present in the environment for three weeks out of the year. This case is easy to handle. No matter what you treat the animal with, she will start getting better in four weeks. In cases in which the allergy is mild but the irritated skin has become infected with bacteria, a broad-spectrum antibiotic will eliminate the infecting organism and the skin may return to near normal appearance even though the treatment has in no way been directed toward the allergy. A definitive diagnosis of an allergy and determination of exactly what the animal is allergic to can only come in one of three ways. They are: The latter is not as exact but usually shows the quickest improvement for the pet and is easiest on the owner’s pocketbook. An excellent example of this would be the dog or cat that is allergic only to tree pollen. Every year, in the same month, the dog starts chewing his feet, scratching his sides, and rubbing his face on furniture; or the cat starts grooming excessively and gets pinpoint scabs on her head and body. The veterinarian chooses either a tablet and/or single injection that will suppress the allergy for the 3-4 weeks necessary. In two days the animal is back to normal and only has to wait until the following year when he or she will be returned with the same problem. The vet will glance at the file and probably repeat the same treatment. The vet is now two for two, and in the owner’s eyes, has reached the level of genius. Unfortunately, things just don’t always go that well. A more common scenario in a dog, for instance, would be that the dog is now five years of age. When he was 18 months old he started scratching and hasn’t stopped since. There are large areas of his skin that are 2 to 3 times their normal thickness, it is cracked open and bleeds intermittently and is completely void of hair. The ear canals are painful, infected, and swollen to the point of limiting the dog’s ability to hear. The dog is uncomfortable, rarely able to sleep through a night, waking frequently to scratch and chew on himself. He may even have intermittent fevers from reoccurring bacterial skin infections. He still enjoys being a dog however, chasing squirrels, eating treats, and looking forward to the bus bringing the children home. The owner and dog have by now been in every veterinary clinic within a 100-mile radius and that circle will probably soon grow larger. And to make matters worse, the dog is getting worse. This is an isolated but not rare case and we wanted to tell you about it here so you could appreciate the true difficulty of the diagnosis and treatment of canine allergies. It is extremely important that we find out what allergen(s) the dog is reacting to in order to really help such a dog. So now you know the basics of canine and feline allergies. If you have more specific questions about the different types of allergies, how to diagnose them or treat them, I encourage you to read the other articles in this section. They provide the newest and most up-to-date information on this very common problem.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '346', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9631784558296204}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '9704', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JCZLOGPKF5YMOGGH4JDPZ27HE6JUDQPP', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:12757f32-82d6-4ede-bf0d-49af61abac54>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 31, 6, 6, 46), 'WARC-IP-Address': '149.115.16.10', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:JRDKIUPKFRVO7KGOQXAHCERNDI5JLYIG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e1e6261d-c2da-4741-b925-6c497b5f5e54>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://bobmckee.com/Client%20Info/Skin/alllergies.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:fb36c023-0557-48d9-bc6f-c60014308e99>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1404', 'url': 'http://bobmckee.com/Client%20Info/Skin/alllergies.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-42\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for October 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': '0.0784144401550293', 'original_id': '71f14f87c5f5a57aa8c89a6598fa2e7e7ca23362fa22f028b75779c5a38ce5be'}
Reality star Kim Kardashian says that her husband Kanye West gave her $1 million to pass on an Instagram ad for an apparel line that was similar to his Yeezy line. What are the details? Kardashian says that she was approached by a brand to host a sponsored ad on her Instagram page — which boasts more than 153 million followers — but turned the placement down because West said that he'd give her $1 million plus a share of his company. West reportedly told Kardashian that he didn't want her to host the ad because the clothing line mimicked his own brand, Yeezy. "This fast fashion brand offered me $1 million for an Instagram post and I thought, 'OK, well, that's easy just to wear clothes that I can pick anything I wanted, a quick post,'" she said, "and when I told [West] about it, he asked me not to do it, and said, you know, out of respect, I don't think we should be giving them everything; they copy everything, it's ... I completely understood why he said it." "I gladly said no," she revealed. "For Mother's Day, he handed me an envelope, and it was a check for $1 million dollars and said 'Thank you for not posting,' and then ... a contract to be an owner in Yeezy." Comedian Andrew Santino shared the clip on Twitter, captioning it "Modern Romance." What else? According to Showbiz Cheatsheet, Kardashian is worth an estimated $350 million, and earns at least 25 percent of her income through sponsored Instagram posts. The outlet also reports that Kardashian is the highest-earning social media influencer, and averages about $1.27 million for a sponsored post.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '375c52df8411f8bdd94c829531450d6e1cd66a346c09786b547eb7a10ddbd9fb'}

Broker Check Is it Better to Have Medicare Advantage or Medigap? Is it Better to Have Medicare Advantage or Medigap? November 15, 2021 Share \| With health insurance open enrollment well underway, many are registering to receive Medicare for the first time. Medicare, which is a federally funded health insurance program, offers subsidized healthcare services to individuals that meet specific eligibility criteria: • Adults 65 or older • Under 65 and have received social security disability insurance for a certain amount of time • Under 65 and have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Medicare is divided into four different options to cover a variety of unique needs and to offer consumers more flexibility in terms of price and coverage. These categories, Part A, Part B, Part C (also called Medicare Advantage), and Part D cover different medical programs and services: • Part A: Part A is hospital insurance and is included in general Medicare. This part covers most medically necessary hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health, and hospice care. • Part B: Part B is medical insurance and, like Part A, is included in a general, federally funded Medicare program. This part covers most medically necessary doctor services, preventative care, durable medical equipment, hospital outpatient services, laboratory tests, x-rays, mental health care, and some home health and ambulance services. • Part C: Part C, unlike Parts A and B is not included in general Medicare coverage. Part C, which is often referred to as Medicare Advantage allows eligible adults to get their coverage through private, Medicare-approved insurance companies so long as that company provides at least the same Medicare benefits as Parts A and B. • Part D: Part D of Medicare provides outpatient prescription drug coverage. This coverage is provided only through private insurance companies that have contracts with the federal government. A traditional Medicare plan without any supplemental coverage is made up of parts A and B. Though these categories provide good basic health coverage, they tend to only cover 80% of approved costs and leave a significant amount of coverage gaps, including common needs like prescription drugs, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and dental care. There are two ways individuals with Medicare insurance can address the coverage gaps left by traditional Medicare: • Medicare plus Medigap supplemental insurance policies • Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) Individuals who want to supplement their Medicare coverage need to consider their lifestyle, finances, and their health condition to determine whether Medigap or Medicare Advantage makes the most sense for their unique situation. This choice will not only affect how an individual will receive their benefits, but will also change their out-of-pocket costs, who they can visit, and where they can get care. Benefits of Medigap Medigap supplemental insurance plans are private plans designed specifically to address Medicare Part A and Part B coverage gaps. Medigap plans are labeled as Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N. Each one of these plans is a unique standardized coverage set. There are three main advantages of Medigap: • its range of tiered plan options • its wide network of providers • Fewer out-of-pocket expenses compared to other supplementary insurance With Medigap, individuals can craft an insurance policy that meets their exact needs, whether it be medical care in foreign countries, or frequent emergency visits. Medigap individuals can also go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, which is the vast majority of providers. Together, these advantages give enrollees significant freedom of choice. It is recommended that individuals who wish to enroll in a Medigap plan sit down with a trusted Medicare Advisor to evaluate and compare each plan to identify what it covers, what it doesn’t, and whether additional coverage would be needed. Disadvantages of Medigap Medigap, like any insurance plan, doesn’t cover everything. Just like original Medicare, there are distinct drawbacks to Medigap insurance that are worth keeping in mind: • If you want to enroll in a Medigap plan, you must have Medicare Parts A and B. • Individuals who choose a Medigap plan will have to pay a monthly premium in addition to the Part B premium they already pay. • Medigap policies do not include prescription drug coverage. If an individual wants prescription drug coverage, they need to enroll in Medicare Part D, the Prescription Drug Plan. • Medigap policies typically do not cover long-term care, vision, dental care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, or private-duty nursing. Benefits of Medicare Advantage Like Medigap, Medicare Advantage plans are designed to fill in the “gaps” original Medicare does not cover. The main differences between Medicare Advantage plans and Medigap plans boils down to price and coverage. Medicare Advantage plans tend to have lower premiums than Medigap plans and offer unique coverage options like gym memberships, long-term care, and disability equipment. Medicare Advantage also streamlines health insurance, offering all-in-one plans that cover vision, dental, disability services, home health, and other health care needs not covered by original Medicare Part A and B or Medigap, like prescription drug coverage. Disadvantages of Medicare Advantage There are distinct disadvantages to Medicare Advantage plans that individuals need to be aware of before choosing a plan to enroll in: • Medicare Advantage has network restrictions, meaning individuals may be more limited in where they can go and who they can see. • Most Medicare Advantage plans operate as a health maintenance organization (HMO) or preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance. HMOs limit members to using the doctors and hospitals in their networks while PPOs will let members get care outside the plan's network, but at an additional price. • Medicare Advantage plans do not offer any coverage while traveling. • Medicare Advantage plans will most likely have higher out-of-pocket and emergency costs than Medigap. Which is better, Medigap or Medicare Advantage? The answer is: it depends. The most noteworthy difference between Medigap and Medicare Advantage comes down to the way they work. Medigap is designed specifically to cover some of the cost-sharing gaps—coinsurance, copayments and deductibles—that original Medicare does not pay. Medicare Advantage on the other hand, covers everything original Medicare does but with the addition of extra benefits like dental and vision care. You are not allowed to have Medicare Advantage and Medigap at the same time, so speaking with a Medicare Advisor about your particular health history and needs can help you make an informed decision about which plan is best for you.

Mr. Ratburn Explains It All “It’s the end of the world as we know it!” Yes, PBS decided to go full SJW and portray a same-sex marriage on Arthur. I wasn’t aware that there was a character named Mr. Ratburn, but I’m really disturbed that he came out as gay after twenty-plus years and that PBS decided to portray that to the impressionable kids of America. Or maybe I’m just rolling my eyes and saying, “Ah! It’s the obligatory homosexual character.” Every show pretty much has to have one these days. Relevance to the plot is completely optional. In response to the “coming out,” I actually saw one tweet that complained that Marvel hadn’t done this yet, suggesting that the failure to action indicated that the comic titan doesn’t care about LGBTQ+ lives. Really, how many more people have to die before Marvel will act?! Although I’m not thrilled with the choices at PBS, what else is new? Knuckle-dragging social conservatives like me should know the world in which we live. And if we think that Mr. Ratburn’s trip down the aisle is going to cause the fall of Western civilization, then we don’t know the much stronger indoctrination that is flowing through our schools. But here’s where I will complain. Those who applaud the Arthur decision, perhaps heralding it as bold and courageous, probably argue that young people–straight and otherwise–need to see good role models–straight and otherwise–in their media diet. It’s like an African-American kid who never sees African-Americans as teachers or doctors or whatever. I understand that logic. If that logic is sound, however, I have to wonder if it isn’t similarly vital that we portray Christians in a positive light. Shouldn’t kids–believing and otherwise–be exposed to good Christian role models in movies and TV and the like? Is there an openly Christian character on Arthur? There is a Jewish girl, Francine Frensky, but where should the impressionable young Christian kids go to find a role model? Honestly, how many Christian characters have come out on mainstream TV or movies? When people are portrayed as Christian, they are typically shown as bigots and haters. At best, they come off as hypocrites and fools. It’s the modern-day version of all those stereotype characters we wouldn’t tolerate today. Seriously, how many such characters can you name? Since many hundreds of characters are portrayed in various productions and since a significant percentage of people identify as Christian, must we assume that Hollywood is just keeping those characters closeted? Today, a young person is watching television. Between shows, this child wonders, “What’s wrong with me? Am I maybe Christian?” Doesn’t that child deserve to see positive portrayals just as much as the ones who might benefit from Mr. Ratburn? Surely they do deserve that. Unless, of course, the message is that there’s something shameful and wrong with being a believer. But that couldn’t be, could it? Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

I hope everyone enjoys this. It's just a short oneshot I thought up the other night... let me know what you think! I live for the reviews!!! Margaret cursed as she stubbed her toe on the desk. She still wasn't used to the new layout of the tent. Someone opened the door to the tent and Margaret whirled around with an angry scowl on her face. "Can't you read you imbecile? The sign says…" her words drifted off and she stared at across form her in shock. Hawkeye Pierce smiled cockily and moved towards her. "Sorry Hot Lips, I know what the sign says, but I really do hate knocking, and you no longer outrank me." Margaret relented and smiled. "Well this certainly is a surprise." She found herself hoping that there had been a mix up with his travel orders and he was now stationed at the 8063d. "I can't stay long," he informed her; her heart sinking in disappointment. "I have a chopper waiting for me." "Well what are you here for?" she asked bitterly, her voice betraying a bit more emotion than she would have liked. "I didn't like our goodbye kiss." He said simply. "I mean, I enjoyed the kiss but I had a little speech prepared to go with it but you ran off right afterwards." Margaret rolled her eyes scornfully and crossed her arms in anticipation. "Well alright, what was your speech?" Hawkeye took another step towards her, resting his hands lightly on her shoulders. "I wanted you to know that I always thought you were a pain in the ass, but I learned to enjoy every minute of it." "Gee thanks," she commented sarcastically, but Hawkeye held up his hand to silence her. "I'm not done yet. I wanted to know that you became a damn good friend to me. You usually put up with my tantrums and you were never afraid to tell me when I was acting like a jackass. I told you once that a relationship would never work with us because we're so different, but I realize now that we're not so different after all. I want to get to know you more, Margaret; the real you. I wanted to tell you that I would love to take you home with me, show you around my nice little town; take a shot at a normal relationship; dating with restaurants and flowers." Hawkeye paused and shook his head playfully. "God, what wouldn't I give to see you in a little black dress?" He tilted his head and frowned. "Correction… a little red dress." Margaret started to speak again but Hawkeye cut her off. "Don't say a word. I know you don't feel the same way. The army is your life, it always has been and I know you could never leave; and I couldn't stand being connected to the army in that way." He smiled and kissed her forehead firmly. "Well that was my speech. Now I have to go." And with that he slipped out of her tent and headed for the awaiting chopper. Daniel watched his son come in the house and head straight for the pot of coffee on the counter. "How was your walk?" he asked sociably. "Boring as usual," was Hawkeye's bland response. Daniel sighed and turned his attention back to his newspaper. Hawkeye had been home for two weeks and during that time he had done nothing but skulk around the house, slamming doors, banging dishes, and muttering under his breath. Daniel had tried to find the reason behind his son's mood. At first he thought the young man might be having trouble adjusting to being back home, but Daniel quickly realized that there was something else. "Do you mind telling me why the hell you've been in such a rotten mood?" he asked abruptly, throwing down his newspaper. "It's this town!" Hawkeye shouted. "I can't take it anymore! It's dull, it's boring, and I'm sick of hearing you read the damn obituaries!" Daniel rolled his eyes patronizingly. "So you're bored? Why don't you get a date? I'm sure plenty of girls in this town would be happy to go out with a surgeon and ex-captain." Hawkeye sat down heavily in the seat across the table. "They're just stupid, immature, whores." Daniel raised his eyebrows in shock and crossed his arms. He hadn't heard a remark that bitter come out of his son's mouth in years, and he had certainly had never heard an ill-word about a woman. Daniel began to piece together what his son's trouble was. He wanted to ask who the girl was that Hawkeye was so obviously swooning over but the doorbell rang and Daniel looked at his son expectantly. "Don't look at me," Hawkeye growled, throwing his hands in the air. "It's probably one of your friends and if they want to see me just tell them I died." Daniel rolled his eyes and slowly got up, making his way to the front of the house. "Who is it?" he called as he crossed through the living room. "I'm looking for a Doctor Benjamin Pierce," a feminine voice answered. Daniel opened the door and smiled. Standing in front of him was a woman he recognized all too well from his son's pictures; except she certainly looked different now. Her hair was spilling around her shoulders and curled slightly. And in place of the grayish-green uniform she was wearing a little red dress.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9932960271835328}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '38705', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:YOVZ4EAZLJTYO7AFKXKBAX4KV2N2CNF7', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6011a783-65c5-44ca-9e44-593d66e37297>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 23, 8, 33, 25), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.205.184.7', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:3QP6DUCUGOWVRPMLE6P5FFGNIAUYOE47', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:57e8a435-3f29-44ba-b5c8-3813caa20541>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3458616/1/Little-Red-Dress', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:fcdad129-6064-459e-8b85-86a0c4764725>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '886', 'url': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3458616/1/Little-Red-Dress', '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': '0.09985750913619995', 'original_id': '5feff06a62a7eff461f9baaac6359512ace6ef53496bbacb9973849e3a088894'}
Ahmed Timol Johannesburg - The quest to uncover apartheid's suspicious deaths and disappearances could be given a boost with next week's reopening of the inquest into the death of activist Ahmed Timol. Timol died in police custody in October 1971 at the notorious John Vorster Square, currently Johannesburg police station, after being arrested along with his comrade and friend Salim Essop, when they were both caught with banned ANC and SACP literature in the car they were travelling in. The apartheid police said Timol committed suicide when he "jumped" out of the window of the police station's 10th floor. However, according to the family, during the washing of Timol's body for Muslim burial rites, they observed that his neck was broken, his fingernails taken out and his elbow was burnt. An inquest was opened by the apartheid State, where a Mgistrate De Villiers ruled in June 1972 that Timol had commicommitted suicide and details of his alleged brutal torture were omitted. This is what the family seeks to overturn with next week's inquest starting on Monday at the High Court in Joburg. Judge Billy Mothle will oversee the reopened inquest, where the final dates will be August 10 and 11. Family spokesperson Imtiaz Cajee, who is Timol's maternal nephew, said the case reopening aims to get dignity for Timol's mother; Cajee's maternal grandmother. "My grandmother was humiliated by Magistrate De Villiers and branded a liar when she testified how a security branch officer told her that she had not given her son a hiding when he was growing up and that they were going to do this for her," Cajee said. He added that this inquest, should it have a positive outcome for them, will be a milestone which opens up other cases of apartheid mysterious murders and disappearances. This case is supported by the Foundation for Human Rights, and involves three investigators and more than 10 witness, including esteemed Lawyer Gearge Bizos.

- \| Lucien Aimar Lucien Aimar Early happy birthday wishes to Lucien Aimar, who was born on April 28, 1941. The French rider is best known for winning the 1966 Tour de France ahead of Jan Janssen of Holland and Raymond Poulidor of France. Yet, despite his triumph in the French Grand Tour, Aimar is widely considered a “one-hit wonder” in cycling, who’s palmarēs scarcely include a few podium finishes in a number of obscure races in and around France. Aimar was born in Hyères, Var, France, and began his career as an amateur rider in 1964, finishing second in that year’s Tour de l’Avenir – 42 seconds behind Felice Gimondi. However, had he not been given a one-minute penalty for an incident involving another rider, he would surely have won the race. Later that year, Aimar represented France in the individual road race at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which was won by Italy’s Mario Zanin. Aimar turned professional the following year, after being signed by the Ford-Gitane team, who’s team captain was none other than Jacques Anquetil. Aimar made enough of a positive impression with the team’s director, Raphaël Géminiani, that he chose the young French neo-pro to ride in the Tour de France during his first season. Unfortunately, fatigued forced him to abandon the race along the Col d’Aubisque during the ninth stage. Next year would prove to be Aimar’s break-out season however, when he won the Genoa-Nice at the start of the race calendar, which was underscored with a second place finish in Flèche Wallonne, followed by his crowning achievement of winning the Tour de France. Aimar’s victory in the Tour is ironically credited to a well-executed attack along the Col Aubisque, the same climb where he abandoned last year’s race, along with another formidable attack he commenced during one of the climbs in Turin. Both of these attacks were attended by skilled descending, which further increased Aimar’s advantage over his rivals. This combined with Anquetil’s assurance that the team would ride in his support, saw Aimar win the race 1:17 ahead of Janssen and Poulidor. Unfortunately, Aimar’s season ended with a dismal 9th place finish in the World Championship Road Race at the Nürburgring in West Germany. Moreover, he was criticized for leading a chase group that included Rudi Altig which ultimately caught the breakaway that included Anquetil, allowing the German to snatch the title from his French teammate. Ford-Gitane became the Bic team for 1967, which saw Aimar win the Four Days of Dunkirk, the Mont Faron hill climb and finish seventh in the Giro d’Italia after sacrificing his chances for Anquetil. Later that season, Aimar rode the Tour as a national rider for France. This marked a two-year experiment, wherein race organizers decided that teams would be represented by country. As a result, Aimar was co-leader with Roger Pingeon. Aimar won the eighth stage at the top of the Ballon d’Alsace, and then rode the remainder of the race in support of Pingeon who claimed the overall title. Later that season, Aimar came in second in the French National Road Championship at Felletin in the Creuse, finishing behind Désiré Letort. However, Letort was later disqualified for doping, handing Aimar the victory. The Tour de France once again opted for national teams rather than sponsored ones for the next season. Aimar chose to lead the French ‘B’ team rather than be a support rider in the ‘A’ team. As a result, he finished seventh, coming in second behind Pingeon during stage two in Chartreuse. Later that season, the same duo famously broke away during the French National Championship road race at the Aubenas circuit (Ardèche). Aimar beat Pingeon in the sprint, earning him France’s blue, white and red championship jersey, which he refused to wear the previous year in solidarity with Letort. However, Aimar had difficulty finding his form the following year, which began with a one-month suspension for doping that denied him a start in that season’s Vuelta a España, while also stripping him of his national championship jersey. This was followed by a disastrous performance in Tour de France that saw him suffer throughout the Alps and finish a disappointing 30th. In fact, legend has it, that Géminiani was so disillusioned with Aimar’s poor showing, he didn’t bother following the race any further once it had reached his home in Clermont-Ferrand. Aimar decided to leave the Bic team the following season, which had a new leader, Luis Ocaña. Instead, he joined the new Sonolor-Lejeune team, run by Jean Stablinski with Lucien Van Impe and Bernard Guyot as its leaders. While Aimar took victory at the Critérium de la Polymultipliée, he had another poor showing at the Tour de France, where he finished a dismal 17th. However, Aimar found some redemption later that season, after finishing second in Bordeaux–Paris behind one-day race specialist Herman Van Springel. Aimar stayed with Sonolor for the next season, but it was clear that he would be riding in support of Van Impe. Van Impe made the overall podium in that year’s Tour de France with a third place finish, along with winning the coveted Polka-Dot Climber’s Jersey in the mountains competition, while Aimar could only muster a 9th place finish. As Aimar’s career continued to decline, he left Sonolor to join the new German team, Rokado, alongside compatriots Gilbert Bellone and Jean Graczyk, all of whom rode in support of team leaders Rolf Wolfshohl and Gerben Karstens. Aimar finished 8th in that year’s Tour de France. 1973 marked Aimar’s final season, rejoining Géminiani in a newly established team called De Kova-Lejeune, which oddly enough was financially backed by a nightclub dancer known as Miriam de Kova. However, the team made little impression other than the pink jerseys they wore. When the team ran out of money after that season’s Tour de France, Aimar decided to hang-up his career as a rider and accept the role of technical adviser for the french cycling coalition, Provence-Cote d’Azur, and later as the race organizer for the Tour Méditerranéen. Nowadays, Aimar can be found living in his native region of southern France, where he occasionally appears as a race dignitary when the Tour de France passes through the area.

There are a number of key characteristics among the type of troller called a ‘Hater.’ Haters usually have a high expectation of what it means to be successful, which is higher than they are able to attain. This results in them resenting others who think they are successlul but whom fall below their standards. It also results in them showing resentment to those with a similar background to them who achieve successes they are unable or unwilling to. Notably in this study, the Hater resented the fact that the author-participant had a high regard for his degrees, when the Hater had applied for, but never taken to risk of going onto the degree programmes they were offered. It might be that Haters have average abilities, and thus being demotic. Their resentment of those who excel from being Hi-Functioning Empathics or Hi-Functioning Autistics, seek to confirm their sense of lack of worth, resulting from them wanting to be the best at everything and instead being the best at nothing. The psychotic and neurotic symptoms they should could therefore be an outcome of a failure to choose between excelling in life as an empathic, or indeed as an autistic. This should not be seen as their fault, but a result of a highly demanding society unlike anything humans have had to do in the previous 200,000 years of existence. One might argue the only long-term solution to this form of psychopathy is for neuroscientists to force the evolution of the brain. It is clear that being both empathic and autistic has its advantages. If humans could choose, for instance, to be autistic whilst studying, and empathic while socialising, then many of the miscommunication that occurs among autistics, empathies and demotics could be as trivial as knowing whether to kiss someone on the cheek, shake their hand, or nod ones head as It is found that there are serious problems with the application of the criminal justice system in relation to the cases of Internet trollers, which seem to be based more on what the public is interested (i.e. “trolls”) than the public interest at large. Indeed on nearly all stages of the criminal procedure rules, there is clear evidence of shortcomings in the way the authorities deal with Internet trollers. In terms of ‘acquitting the innocent and convicting the guilty,’ it is clear that some people are “more guilty” than others. In other words the current legal system resembles a pre-Henry II legal system where decisions are not based on precedence but expedience. This has resulted in unfair outcomes where in virtually identical situations people have been treated completely differently by the authorities. However, it is clear that it instruments like the Trolling Magnitude Scale are adopted, then it will make it easier for the police and other law enforcement authorities to prioritise who is prosecuted in an objective way, rather than feel obligated to take action when it may not be in the public interest to do so. The preference continuum can also be helpful in ensuring fair outcomes, as it will make it easier to see what it was driving a particular person to take a particular action in a particular situation. It is clear that the situation as it stands is unsatisfactory. Perpetual trolls like the one interviewed, who have grudges against certain people have no action taken against them, whereas those who make offensive jokes in the moment feel the full force of the law because of “public outers’.” The law enforcement authorities need to get a grip, and take action against flame trollers only when set thresholds are met and not in response to media-led public opinion.

\section{Condition of Tangency to Circle whose Center is Origin} Tags: Circles, Tangents \begin{theorem} Let $\CC$ be a circle embedded in the Cartesian plane of radius $r$ with its center located at the origin. Let $\LL$ be a straight line in the plane of $\CC$ whose equation is given by: :$(1): \quad l x + m y + n = 0$ such that $l \ne 0$. Then $\LL$ is tangent to $\CC$ {{iff}}: :$\paren {l^2 + m^2} r^2 = n^2$ \end{theorem} \begin{proof} From Equation of Circle center Origin, $\CC$ can be described as: :$(2): \quad x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ Let $\LL$ intersect with $\CC$. To find where this happens, we find $x$ and $y$ which satisfy both $(1)$ and $(2)$. So: {{begin-eqn}} {{eqn \| n = 1 \| l = l x + m y + n \| r = 0 \| c = Equation for $\LL$ }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = x \| r = -\dfrac {m y} l - \dfrac n l \| c = rearranging }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = \paren {-\dfrac {m y} l - \dfrac n l}^2 + y^2 \| r = r^2 \| c = substituting for $x$ in $(2)$ }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = \paren {-m y - n}^2 + l^2 y^2 \| r = l^2 r^2 \| c = multiplying by $l^2$ }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = m^2 y^2 + 2 m n y + n^2 + l^2 y^2 \| r = l^2 r^2 \| c = multiplying out }} {{eqn \| n = 3 \| ll= \leadsto \| l = \paren {l^2 + m^2} y^2 + 2 m n y + \paren {n^2 - l^2 r^2} \| r = 0 \| c = rearranging }} {{end-eqn}} This is a quadratic in $y$. This corresponds to the two points of intersection of $\LL$ with $\CC$. When $\LL$ is tangent to $\CC$, these two points coincide. Hence $(3)$ has equal roots. From Solution to Quadratic Equation, this happens when the discriminant of $(3)$ is zero. That is: {{begin-eqn}} {{eqn \| l = m^2 n^2 \| r = \paren {l^2 + m^2} \paren {n^2 - l^2 r^2} \| c = }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = l^2 n^2 - l^2 m^2 r^2 - l^4 r^2 \| r = 0 \| c = multiplying out and simplifying }} {{eqn \| ll= \leadsto \| l = \paren {l^2 + m^2} r^2 \| r = n^2 \| c = as $l^2 \ne 0$ }} {{end-eqn}} {{qed}} \end{proof}	math_pile	{'subset': 'ProofWiki', 'meta': "{'type': 'Theorem_Proof'}", 'original_id': '850786371e8616db2a7c0a376bd2b370b0de57d58eb538f3fcf4fc473beba13e'}

So what if he was married? So what if he was head of the CIA? We all got here on earth the same way, by fucking. It seems he might have given her top secret info based on rumors that are circulating. I doubt he resigned JUST because of the affair. Clinton had a fling with the intern and he didn't quit, and his title was obviously more important than any CIA title. I suspect there was more going on than we know about.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 Dreams of the past 7:50 sunrise 20:23 sunset Dreams. I had a whack of them last night. I'm don't really understand why some nights are full of reverie and others are a blank slate, but I generally like it when I dream. Last night's images were filled with scenes invoving my grandparents' house. It's a place where I spent quite a lot of time as a little kid and even as a teenager. And of course now, as an adult renovating my own house, I frequently think about some of the fantastic modern design pieces they furnished their home with. What wouldn't I give for my grandma's dining room light fixture, her side and coffee tables, her black leather chairs. Last night I dreamt about hugging my grandpa...except that he was tiny, just my height. In my dream it was just part of him being old. When he was alive he was in the 6' range, thin and long-legged. I also dreamt about their house, specifically about their walls which were (in reality) covered in wood panelling (can you say built in 1971?!). My dream amped up the disco factor by turning their walls into gold sparkly wood panelling - imagine wood grain crossed with a gold bowling ball or maybe nailpolish. Anyhow, I have no idea what all of that means, aside from the fact that I am thinking about family and I still miss my grandparents. Maybe I'll go google dream interpretations now. Until then, I'll leave you with this - one of a couple of dresses I have recently purchased from Small Earth Vintage's shop. My grandmother didn't wear dresses very often, but she was always smartly attired and I like to think she'd approve of my penchant for secondhand items. Something about this dress even reminds me of her. Bring on spring so I can wear this beauty! Maven said... Hey, you need to send me your measurements so I can start personal shopping some stuff for you. Email me! kirsten said... I rarely remember my dreams, but when I do, they're always weird. There have been several instances where I've woken up in the middle of the night convinced that RJ is someone else and I really should put some pyjamas on or something.. Usually, by the time I manage to find & put on the PJ's I'm awake enough to realize that it's just RJ :) Sounds like you're coveting some vintage home decor in your dreams?! cute dress :)	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.983498990535736}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '84253', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:6HDFEZ64OWX5JEBHKIVCINORT5BXKH62', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a9485556-b8bf-4275-835f-a75c2339cc74>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 27, 9, 14, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.129', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UZJLFT4K2XYYGPDG6XRNPIFMSGYIXZQL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:31e993db-c4ef-41d1-9aa6-6013a71f33b5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://jennoit.blogspot.com/2010/03/dreams-of-past.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:eadb474c-071a-4932-b833-08286d853a68>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '415', 'url': 'http://jennoit.blogspot.com/2010/03/dreams-of-past.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-09\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2017\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': '0.028359949588775635', 'original_id': 'f239deefac3a10b632d090a2762cc84822cae1c010a92536fb05033946258d60'}

Movie Reviews 3:03 pm Thu May 16, 2013 'Augustine' And Her Diagnosis Get Another Look Onstage, in front of an audience, the young woman seemingly goes into a trance, overcome by a power that shakes and contorts her. The commotion appears profoundly sexual; she grabs at her crotch as she writhes. When the woman reaches some kind of release, the spell is broken, and she becomes calm. She leaves the stage to enthusiastic applause. This isn't one of those New Vaudeville acts; it's what passed for medicine in 1870s France. The crowd watching the seizure in Alice Winocour's assured debut feature, Augustine, is a group of doctors, and what they're acclaiming is the work of a prominent neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot. The squirming creature is just a prop. Charcot (Vincent Lindon) was a real-life figure, and by no means a quack. He made some notable medical discoveries, and counted Sigmund Freud among his students. But he lived in a time when all sorts of women's ailments, whether physical or psychological, were attributed to "ovarian hysteria." Augustine is more historical drama than feminist parable, but it does attempt to reclaim the identity of one of the many women Charcot treated. Augustine, played with quiet fierceness by the musician-actress Soko, is revealed here as somewhat more than the "magnificent patient" her doctor describes. When the story begins, Augustine is a 19-year-old kitchen maid. While serving at a dinner party, she has an attack that leaves her partly paralyzed. She's sent to an asylum full of women whose myriad symptoms are all considered manifestations of one aspect of their being: their womanhood. Charcot is reputable, if eccentric. He lives with a pet gibbon and the heiress wife (Chiara Mastroianni) who helps support his career. Fascinated with Augustine's case, he gives the young woman special privileges, such as a private room; when she goes into a funk, he even feeds her soup, spoonful by spoonful. Yet despite his fascination with Augustine — a fascination that's partly erotic — Charcot always sees himself as superior. It's not until the film's final act that the two become collaborators of a sort, and the move leading to that change is taken by Augustine, not the doctor. While not neglecting historical details, the director takes a modernist approach to storytelling, declining to fill in Augustine's backstory. (Reportedly, her childhood was traumatic, but it's not mentioned here.) The movie is intentionally short on expository dialogue and larger context. Exactly what ailed Augustine, in any case, cannot be determined. Her seizures suggest epilepsy, but the paralysis does not. Winocour doesn't attempt to diagnose her after the fact, or imagine what her treatment might be today. She breaks period in only one significant way — by punctuating the film with brief straight-to-camera testimonies by present-day women in psychiatric treatment. Their symptoms are real and contemporary, but the speakers are dressed in belle epoque clothing. (One other anachronism: Jocelyn Pook's Philip Glass-influenced score.) Visually, the film conjures the past with shadowy interiors and harsh light. Winocour, who also scripted, often makes her points without words. Mastroianni is given little to say, but she does have an eloquent scene in which a servant removes Mme. Charcot's corset and the camera lingers on her pinched flesh. "There's not much love in your books," remarks Augustine as she peruses Charcot's medical texts. Ultimately, Winocour does stage an instance of what could be called love. It's unconvincing narratively, alas, and an odd disruption of the tone in a film that is otherwise bracingly clinical. Copyright 2013 NPR.

Wave Image Send Us Feedback Thank You Homestead on the Roof Written by Farm to table. Sustainable. Organic. Restaurant buzz words that probably beat you over the fcking head these days. Problem is, when you live in a concrete jungle and there’s limited vegetation in sight, it’s hard to know exactly how far from the farm your food had to go before arriving on said table. And if that’s something that bothers you about farm to table concepts, then you need to check out Homestead on the Roof. A second floor establishment above Roots Pizza in Ukrainian Village, Homestead on the Roof has a kick ss 1,000 square foot rooftop with an organic garden and 80 seat patio. There are literally fruits, vegetables, and herbs growing in every direction around you, which just so happen to be the driving force behind seasonal menus. We know that it's currently below freezing outside, but the 65 seat indoor space is also a good mix of spacious and intimate with a real casual feel, although patio is the way to go when you can. You’ll notice a Homestead on the Roof sign at the Northeast corner of Chicago and Winchester, but the entrance is actually inside Roots, so walk into the pizza joint and tell the host to direct you to the back stairs. The menu is made for sharing with dishes ranging in size, plus the wait staff will help you navigate if you need - though be warned they can at times be pompously descriptive. The food has a real rustic American feel, with visually appealing dishes that allow the garden ingredients to shine. A few issues with the food itself hold Homestead back slightly, but it's still a more than deserving place to spend your money and time. Food Rundown Chicken Skins Homemade chicken skins with Sriracha honey mustard. The question is how many should you order. Smoked Asparagus Salad Asparagus served with fried duck egg and brown butter vinaigrette. More of a side vegetable dish than a salad, but well done if you’re a cooked asparagus fan. Kale Salad Kale with apples, burnt cheddar, and a bacon-cider dressing. Great flavors, but a tad heavy on the dressing at times. Moroccan Spiced Mussels Not your typical preparation. They aren’t kidding around with the Moroccan spices, and the fried chickpeas add a new and welcoming taste to seafood. A must try if you like mussels. Beef Short Rib Pappardelle A straightforward dish with some exceptional pappardelle noodles. Seared Walleye The fish comes with some gnocchi and poached lobster in a lobster broth. The broth is basically lobster bisque, and it’s awesome. Seared Scallops The scallops are pretty good, but they come with small pieces of braised beef short ribs wrapped in some wilted greens, which are even better. The garlic chive mustard emulsion is on point too. Half Chicken Half a chicken plus some lamb sausage with fried artichokes and roasted carrots. A very hearty and well balanced dish. This lamb is better than the actual lamb dish below, and the crispy artichokes add a nice textural contrast. Slagel Farms Lamb Probably the most disappointing dish here, which is unfortunate. It looks beautiful, and the yogurt, frika, carrot, and truffle aioli sauce it comes over is great, but despite looking like a juicy piece of lamb it’s a lot of bone and fat.

Then $L$ is meet-continuous. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $x \in S$, $D$ be a directed subset of $S$ such that :$x \preceq \sup D$ By Way Below Closure is Directed in Bounded Below Join Semilattice: :$x^\ll$ is directed.

By definition of up-complete: :$\left({\sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\} }\right)^\preceq$ admits a supremum. We will prove that :$x^\ll \subseteq \left({\sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\} }\right)^\preceq$ Let $a \in x^\ll$ By definition of way below closure: :$a \ll x$ By Way Below implies Preceding: :$a \preceq x$ By definition of way below relation: :$\exists d \in D: a \preceq d$ By Meet is Idempotent and Meet Semilattice is Ordered Structure: :$a = a \wedge a \preceq x \wedge d \in \left\{ {x \wedge y: y \in D}\right\}$ By definition of supremum: :$\sup \left\{ {x \wedge y: y \in D}\right\}$ is upper bound for $\left\{ {x \wedge y: y \in D}\right\}$ By definition of upper bound: :$x \wedge d \preceq \sup \left\{ {x \wedge y: y \in D}\right\}$ By definition of transitivity :$a \preceq \sup \left\{ {x \wedge y: y \in D}\right\}$ Thus by definition of lower closure of element: :$a \in \left({\sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\} }\right)^\preceq$ {{qed\|lemma}} By Supremum of Subset: :$\sup \left({x^\ll}\right) \preceq \sup \left({\left({\sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\} }\right)^\preceq}\right)$ By axiom of approximation and Supremum of Lower Closure of Element: :$x \preceq \sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\}$ By definition: :$x$ is upper bound for $\left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\}$ By definition of supremum: :$\sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\} \preceq x$ Thus by definition of antisymmetry: :$x = \sup \left\{ {x \wedge d: d \in D}\right\}$ Thus by Meet-Continuous iff if Element Precedes Supremum of Directed Subset then Element equals Supremum of Meet of Element by Directed Subset: :$L$ is meet-continuous. {{qed}} \end{proof}	math_pile	{'subset': 'ProofWiki', 'meta': "{'type': 'Theorem_Proof'}", 'original_id': '14de506cb9334ee4c740b5f94f4dde01cf22d7acc61b469a22afa68de4b8a253'}

Kate Lajtha of Oregon State University serves as the U.S. principal investigator in cooperation with her Hungarian counterpart, Janos Atilla Toth of Kossuth University in Debrecen. The goal of DIRT is to assess how rates and sources of plant litter inputs control the accumulation and dynamics of organic matter and nutrients in forest soils over decadnal time scales. The U.S.-Hungarian research team intends to examine processes at multiple levels in the soil to explore the chemical and biological interconnections that lead to formation of humic materials over long time spans. Of special interest is the stabilization and retention of soil organic carbon (C) and inorganic and organic nitrogen (N) because soil organic matter decomposition processes appear to influence global carbon sequestration. The Hungarian Sikfokut long-term ecological research site that joins the U.S.-based effort via this project is a temperate deciduous oak forest located in Eger, Hungary. It brings a European site to the effort that has vegetation similar to participating eastern U.S. forest sites, yet one that exhibits significantly higher nitrogen inputs. Thus, cooperative research with Hungarian counterparts at Sikfokut offers a unique opportunity to test hypotheses in a structurally similar system with extreme N input and forest floor chemistry. The planned collaboration has three foci: a) an analysis of the controls on N dynamics and leaching; b) analysis of carbon dynamics due to interacting mechanisms of formation, stabilization, destabilization; and c) field soil respiration measurements. Results are expected to shed new light on the pathways of N and C sequestration and loss, across a large climatic and pollution history gradient. This cross-continental study of soil dynamics fulfills the program objectives of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.	the_stack	{'hexsha': '505aa92a9db0dcc527a21154dddb5bfbbd5b7b0c', 'size': '3807', 'ext': 'txt', 'lang': 'Text', 'max_stars_repo_path': 'Corpus/Part 3/awards_2000/awd_2000_02/a0002956.txt', 'max_stars_repo_name': 'kgusman/SearchEngine', 'max_stars_repo_head_hexsha': 'f94cc3dd54227642ed47ba8144c5784d091323d1', 'max_stars_repo_licenses': "['MIT']", 'max_stars_count': '3', 'max_stars_repo_stars_event_min_datetime': '2020-04-18T03:11:06.000Z', 'max_stars_repo_stars_event_max_datetime': '2021-12-22T01:03:05.000Z', 'max_issues_repo_path': 'Corpus/Part 3/awards_2000/awd_2000_02/a0002956.txt', 'max_issues_repo_name': 'kgusman/SearchEngine', 'max_issues_repo_head_hexsha': 'f94cc3dd54227642ed47ba8144c5784d091323d1', 'max_issues_repo_licenses': "['MIT']", 'max_issues_count': '', 'max_issues_repo_issues_event_min_datetime': '', 'max_issues_repo_issues_event_max_datetime': '', 'max_forks_repo_path': 'Corpus/Part 3/awards_2000/awd_2000_02/a0002956.txt', 'max_forks_repo_name': 'kgusman/SearchEngine', 'max_forks_repo_head_hexsha': 'f94cc3dd54227642ed47ba8144c5784d091323d1', 'max_forks_repo_licenses': "['MIT']", 'max_forks_count': '', 'max_forks_repo_forks_event_min_datetime': '', 'max_forks_repo_forks_event_max_datetime': '', 'avg_line_length': '55.1739130435', 'max_line_length': '93', 'alphanum_fraction': '0.6653532966', 'original_id': 'ec3344c82dc231be36b1d09b6bbc11684bbcb8afebd1ea71e986ed6b1063493e'}
Distortions of Modern Medicine June 7, 2021 A few highlights from the readings for Kimbell Kornu’s Pentecost Term course on "The Christian Art of Dying," which we hosted at Theopolis in May. 1. Christians agree that sin is the ultimate cause of illness. But George Khushf suggests another dimension of the sin-sickness relation: Illness as “general revelation.” Khushf observes that “illness manifests the structure of sin.” Citing the work of Kay Toombs, he notes how bodily distress disturbs our self-consciousness and our interactions with the world. “Time and space shrink upon the here and now, as the lived world collapses upon the isolated self.” We can’t perform as we like, and the bondage of illness, which frustrates our bodily intentions, is analogous to “an account of the bondage of the will, associated since Augustine with human sinfulness.” Pain has a paradoxical relationship to social relations. On the one hand, pain makes it impossible to interact with others. It fills our field of experience, blinding and deafening us to others and their needs. No one is more incurvatus in se than a sick person. On the other hand, “pain makes painfully clear one’s dependence on others and community. . . . The illusion of self-sufficiency is shattered, and one is brought to self-transcendence; motivated to move beyond self to the others who can help.” In these ways, illness “is revelatory of the human condition in general, although the specific content of that revelation is ambiguous, and thus is in need of interpretation by those who understand the deeper import.” For those with eyes to see, illness reveals both our created dependence and our slavery to sin, and thus opens an opportunity for the good news of the Great Physician. (Khushf, “Illness, the Problem of Evil, and the Analogical Structure of Healing: On the Difference Christianity Makes in Bioethics,” Christian Bioethics 1.1 [1995] 102-20, specifically 108-9.) 2. Euthanasia, we think, arose as a result of advances in technology. When we keep people alive artificially, we extend suffering. Some conclude the humane thing to do is to permit suffering patients, or their families, to terminate artificially extended life. Shai Lavi disagrees. He observes that the first debates about euthanasia took place in the 1870s. Iowa and Ohio tried to legalize euthanasia in 1906. This happened at a time when “most Americans died a death unmediated by medical technology at home and were little concerned with the issue of patient rights.” Euthanasia didn’t arise from the pressure of technical advances but as part of a more general “medicalization of the deathbed,” which was a “cultural rather than a technological transformation.” The most obvious sign of this medicalization was the replacement of a priest with a doctor as death’s “master of ceremonies.” In earlier ages, doctors exited the scene when they ran out of treatment options, “leaving the dying in the trustworthy hands of the attending family, friends, and clergy.” Beginning in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, doctors began to assume responsibility for overcoming the patient’s “sense of helplessness.” They stayed till the end to “minister hope and comfort.” The transformation of the deathbed rested on a new idea of hope. Instead of the older Christian belief in redemption and life after death, physicians offered “a this-worldly guarantee that as long as life persisted, something could always be done for the dying patient.” It became unthinkable simply to “give up” and await death. Physicians were at the deathbed, as Dr. Worthington Hooker described it, to cultivate “intelligent hope” hope “based upon just and definite conclusions.” Intelligent hope eventually fades. When that happens, wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., the patient is ready to pack up “his little bundle of circumstances” and head to his new home, “even before the apartment is ready to receive the new bodily tenant.” If they’re eager to leave, we shouldn’t slow them down. The redefinition of hope and the resulting impatience to die opened space to consider “the medical hastening of death.” Advocates of euthanasia insisted that death should follow as soon as intelligent hope failed. At the deathbed, all hope is eventually lost; at the same time, the deathbed is a site for “a final effort to overcome helplessness [that] includes the hastening of death.” Euthanasia became plausible because of the growing impatience of patients. The medicalization of the deathbed led to a logical conclusion: Administering death as the final medical procedure. (Lavi, “How Dying Became a ‘Life Crisis,” Daedalus 137.1 [2008] 57-68.) 3. Petr Skrabanek (Death of Humane Medicine, 1994) observes that making health a marketable commodity drastically altered the practice of medicine: “Traditionally, doctors used to be ‘called in’ when needed. Indeed, some doctors are still doing ‘calls.’ When a doctor is ‘on call’ he is available to be summoned by the patient on short notice. But this is now changing. Increasingly it is the doctor who calls the person in by issuing an invitation. Healthy people are asked to visit the surgery for a ‘check-up,’ or ‘screening,’ when their computerized records show they are ‘due.’ Non-attendance is known as ‘non-compliance,’ indicating an element of recklessness and irresponsibility” (29). Thus, “a low-risk, healthy woman between the ages of 20 and 70” is expected to “visit her doctors annually and have 278 examinations, tests and counseling sessions” (33). Such “anticipatory” medicine differs from traditional preventive medicine. The former aimed to elude or limit the damage of disease through sanitation, good diet, fresh air, exercise. Anticipatory medicine “indulges in probabilistic speculations about the future risk of so-called ‘multifactorial’ disorders in individuals, and promises clients that, provided they have their risk factors regularly evaluated and appropriately modified by adhering to a set of complex rules defined as a ‘healthy lifestyle,’ most if not all diseases can be prevented or at least their onset almost indefinitely postponed” (31-32). This is a huge boon to doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies who provide and cover services. As Skrabanek documents, the improvement of health is less than obvious. These shifts in medical practice have been accompanied by a fusion of “good health” with happiness, and a fusion of “good health” with a standard of “perfect health.” In 1926, Wendell Phillips, President of the AMA, worried that “fairly well persons may never know the exuberance and happiness of perfect health.” The future physician’s goal, then, “will be the attainment and maintenance of exuberant health, which is the inherent right of every person” (41). Decades later, Phillips’s vision has become a guiding principle. For contemporary health professionals, “health is happiness and happiness is health.” Both can be achieved if healthy people submit to continuous health supervision (42).

Janitorial service providers commonly collect trash, dust, sweep, and perform light washing and kitchen clean-up. These providers employ specialized tools and products in providing these services. A commonly used tool is a commercial trash barrel. Such a trash barrel is available in a standard 44-gallon size and has the approximate shape of a tapered cylinder. Typical dimensions of the trash barrel are 20-inch diameter at its base, 24-inch diameter at its top and a height of 32 inches. The trash barrel accepts a flexible plastic trash barrel liner that keeps the trash barrel clean and facilitates removal of trash. The trash barrel has a screw fitting protruding from its base. The screw fitting protrudes approximately ¾-inch and has a diameter of approximately 11 inches. The screw fitting mates with a corresponding fitting on a wheeled dolly. The trash barrel mounted on the wheeled dolly can be moved and maneuvered much more easily than a trash barrel not mounted on a wheeled dolly. In addition to the trash barrel/wheeled dolly combination, the service provider carries an assortment of tools and cleaning supplies useful in performing assigned tasks. Such tools may include brooms, brushes and cleaning cloths, and such supplies may include spray cleaners, soaps and polishes. Oftentimes a service provider carries tools and supplies in a makeshift fashion by hanging them from the trash barrel or placing them inside the trash barrel. A makeshift approach can leave the provider's tools and supplies disorganized, unsecured, difficult to access and hard to keep track of. In addition, the tools and supplies may interfere with removal and replacement of the flexible plastic trash barrel liner. It is desirable to carry such tools and supplies organized and secure in a tool caddy attached to the trash barrel in a manner that does not interfere with removal and replacement of the flexible plastic trash barrel liner. A tool caddy that protrudes outward from a trash barrel reduces the maneuverability of the trash barrel. A compromise exists between designing a tool caddy large enough to provide adequate storage space, but not so large as to substantially reduce the maneuverability of the trash barrel. When full of trash the trash barrel is quite heavy. The ergonomically preferred method of emptying a trash barrel is to lay the barrel on its side and remove the trash by extracting the flexible plastic trash barrel liner that contains the trash. One deficiency of the trash barrel is that its circular shape makes it prone to uncontrolled rolling when laid on its side. The rolling instability of the barrel makes removal of the trash more difficult. A device that stabilizes a trash barrel lain on its side would facilitate removal of the flexible plastic trash barrel liner filled with trash. One deficiency of a trash barrel mounted on a dolly is that it has high center of gravity when filled with trash. This high center of gravity makes the trash barrel susceptible to accidental tipping. A tool caddy attached at or near the top of a trash barrel further raises the center of gravity and aggravates the tipping problem. The top diameter of a trash barrel is typically greater than the bottom diameter. Additionally, a narrow lip protrudes outward from the top edge and continues around the entire circumference. The protruding upper lip is generally the outermost point of a trash barrel. As a service provider maneuvers a trash barrel through a cleaning area, the upper lip often bumps or rubs against walls and other objects in the cleaning area. A common deficiency of a trash barrel is its tendency to mar surfaces, particularly painted walls, when the top lip bumps or rubs against them.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '7cba4f149f73eb2682051491fc50055099aea76872a248448dca4020203ce911'}
It seems clear that someone needs to rebuild trust between the media and the communities it serves. But how? Algorithmic upgrades are not the only answer. A complementary solution, as Laxmi Parthasarathy from the nonprofit organization Ashoka and I argue in a new paper, is what we describe as a bottom-up media revolution where social entrepreneurs, embedded within the very communities challenged by polarization and suspicious of the media, are working to re-establish trust. A short history of social entrepreneurship So what exactly are social entrepreneurs? There continues to be some discussion around the term, but here is the working definition I use. Social entrepreneurs are people who take an innovative approach to addressing the societal problems that are not being effectively dealt with by for-profit, civil or governmental sectors. Though they may operate organizations legally registered as for-profits or nonprofits – and occasionally hybrids – their primary ambition is social change, not financial reward. Throughout history, certain individuals have worked in these ways. One example is Florence Nightingale, who founded modern nursing in reaction to a clear need. But it is in the last few decades that the term itself has established itself in media, policy and scholarly circles. As individuals, social entrepreneurs share the traits of being innovative, adaptive and fiercely accountable to those they serve. They are relentless problem solvers who navigate around constraints. Mohammed Yunus, for example, recognized that poor people in Bangladesh needed credit but lacked physical collateral and, of course, credit ratings. His solution – the Grameen Bank – was to make loans to groups of woman using so-called social collateral, or the peer pressure that the women exerted on each other and their knowledge of each other’s trustworthiness. Loans, in other words, could be based on joint liability. To date, Grameen has issued more than US$20 billion in credit and has approximately 9 million borrowers. I’ve been studying social entrepreneurs for years and have compiled and distilled their wisdom in a forthcoming book. No matter what societal problems they are addressing, trust is the foundation of their work. Consider these two examples from the more than 100 organizations I’ve examined. Reach Incorporated in Washington, D.C., tutors low-income grade schoolers having problems with reading. Its tutors are not teachers or outsiders but young people the pupils can relate to: high school students from the same neighborhoods who are also having literacy problems. Reach employs more than 200 high school students each year to tutor a similar number of students. No formal studies have been done, but Reach says the impact has been significant: “Elementary school participants average one-and-a-half grade levels of reading growth per year of participation while their teen tutors average more than two grade levels of growth per year.” Last Mile Health offers health care services to Liberia’s remote poor. The key is that the services are provided by local people. Community members receive professional training, supplies, and supervision to deliver primary health care. As a result, they have both familiarity with, and the trust of, the community. Last Mile Health currently supports nearly 3,500 community health workers throughout Liberia, ensuring all citizens more than an hour’s walk to a formal health facility receive care from community health assistants. Information problems are social problems Though the problems related to disinformation may seem dire in the U.S., they have been – and are – much more severe elsewhere. It is not surprising then that social entrepreneurs have stepped up to address concerns like these, especially to give voice to those who are socially or geographically outside the journalistic mainstream. The nonprofit organization Ashoka, where my colleague Laxmi Parthasarathy is director of Global Media Partnerships, has been at the forefront of social entrepreneurship for nearly four decades. Through its network of chapters around the world, it identifies, analyzes and interviews social entrepreneurs to find those whose work is likely to create national impact. Among its 3,500 elected Ashoka fellows are Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, and Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and children’s rights activist. While many of these fellows are skillful at using media to bring attention to a cause, others are directly addressing the very foundations of media and journalism. One of these is Cristi Hegranes of the Global Press Institute, which trains local women as journalists in 26 countries where there is scant media coverage of local concerns. After completing a 24-month training, all graduates become reporters for the Global Press Journal, supported by professional editorial assistance, with their work distributed internationally. Global Press has reported on issues including Rohinga facing persecution after fleeing to India, the Nepalese government’s tepid response to its devastating earthquake, and local communities worldwide withdrawing from the global food system. Ashoka fellows aren’t the only people working in this space. Another social entrepreneur trying to change journalism is Sarah Alvarez of Outlier Media in Detroit. Outlier describes itself as “service journalism on demand.” Its focus is on the issues that Detroiters, who have a median income of $26,000, say they care most about: housing and utilities. Outlier legally buys batches of cellphone numbers to reach as many residents as possible and sends them texts containing publicly available information about their dwellings including tax information and risks of foreclosure or utility cut-offs. It uses traditional reporting and data collection techniques to obtain information about every home address in Detroit. Residents who respond to Outlier’s unsolicited texts and want more detail are connected with an actual reporter who will investigate a housing issue on their behalf. Forty percent do. Trust from transparency These brief accounts suggest how social entrepreneurs are transforming journalism. As NYU media critic Jay Rosen has argued, the trust essential for journalism is shifting away from trust based on authority to that based on transparency. The Global Press Institute, for instance, embraces this shift by allowing everyone to readily understand its operations – from its editorial process to the gifts it accepts and its decision-making. Outlier is offering accurately reported, customized, usable information as another form of transparent journalism. “Bottom-up media” means relying on accurate data and the unfiltered experiences of those at the margins. It means giving these people the skills and technologies to choose what to report and ensuring their journalism has the potential to create action. As Parthasarathy and I discovered in researching 50 bottom-up media efforts, a shift is indeed afoot to empower local news producers and consumers, to create deep reporting everywhere, to enable the disenfranchised, and to bring light to a world being darkened by deceit and misinformation.

The present invention relates to an image area discriminating device for a digital copier, facsimile device, scanner or similar imaging equipment and, more particularly, to an image area discriminating device capable of automatically determining whether or not areas constituting an input image each has undergone dot processing. A digital copier, for example, reads a document image pixel by pixel by using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor or line sensor. An analog electric signal appearing on the output of the image CCD image sensor is converted into a digital signal and then subjected to various kinds of processing. The processed signal is fed to a recording device to print out the document image on a recording medium. It is a common practice with such a digital copier to record the processed signal in two levels, i.e., record/non-record or in multiple levels since the recording device is unable to readily change the density level pixel by pixel. However, the copier has to reproduce even halftone images which are often carried on photographs and other similar documents. Conventional implementations for rendering halftone by use of the bilevel or multilevel recording device include a dither method, density pattern method, submatrix method, and error scattering method. So long as the density of an image changes slowly as is the case with a photograph, conventional halftone processing successfully reproduces the image relatively attractively. However, when a character or similar image whose density changes in definite two levels is reproduced, the reproduction suffers from various defects such as illigibly blurred contours and contaminated background. For this reason, characters or similar document images should be subjected to simple bilevel or multilevel processing rather than halftone processing. If the copier is provided with an extra switch for entering the presence/absence of halftone on a document, the operator can select an adequate copy mode matching the document by operating the switch. In practice, however, many documents, typically pamphlets, carry both of halftome images and bilevel images such as characters. Then, selecting the bilevel or multilevel mode would lower quality of resultant photographs, and selecting the halftone mode would lower the quality of resultant characters. Another and serious problem with this type of digital copier is that when the change in the density of a document has periodicity, the period or pitch of the density change and the pitch at which the cells of a CCD line sensor or similar image sensor are arranged, i.e., sampling period interfere with each other to cause moire to appear on a recorded image. For example, an image printed on a document in the form of dots has periodicity concerning the density change, so that the period of the density change interferes with the sampling frequency of the line sensor to bring about the moire problem. Specifically, assuming that the resolution of the line sensor is 400 dots per inch (dpi), moire is apt to appear in an image signal when dots are printed on a document in a density close to the resolution, i.e., 133 lines (about 10.5 pixels per millimeter)to 200 lines (about 16 pixels per millimeter). While densities outside the above-mentioned range also cause moire to occur, moire is noticeable in such a particular range and causes ::the signal to change over a broad range. Dot printing itself is a kind of quasi-halftone representation and changes the density in two levels, i.e., ONE and ZERO (recoRd and non-record) concerning each pixel. To render halftone, dot printing changes the average density of the entire assembly of pixels in multiple levels by changing the pitch or the size of dots. Therefore, apart from the moire problem, a dot image will be desirably reproduced if the signal is subjected to bilevel processing. In practice, however, a document on which dots are prined in a particular density suffers from moire when reproduced, as stated above. On the other hand, when an image signal representative of a document is transformed to a bilevel or multilevel signal halftone processing, moire does not appear or appears little on reproduction since the halftone processing includes a step of averaging the densities of a plurality of pixels and a step of changing the threshold level. In this case, although the densities of a reproduction are rendered in quasi-halftone by dots, the dots on the reproduction are generated by halftone processing particular to a copier and, therefore, not the faithful replica of the dots on the document. It follows that when the image to be reproduced is an assembly of printed dots or an image reproduced by dot processing by a digital copier, a copy mode which effects halftone processing is preferable despite that such an image is bilevel concerning pixels. It is desirable to process character portions by the simple bilevel or multilevel scheme and to process dot portions by the dither scheme or similar halftone processing scheme, as described previously. For this purpose, a document may be divided on an area basis. Specifically, if dot areas are detected and subjected to halftone processing while the other areas are subjected to simple bilevel processing, characters and photographs which are rendered by dots will be reproduced attractively, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 279665/1988, for example. The method disclosed in this Laid-Open Publication is such that a bidimensional pattern of input image data is compared with a predetermined pattern to detect record dots and non-record dots and, based on the result of detection, whether or not the input image data is representative of a dot pattern is determined. Now, in an image undergone dot processing, record dots such as black pixels and non-record dots such as white pixels are arranged alternately at a predetermined pitch and a predetermined distance. Assume that a record pixel located at a given position and non-record pixels surrounding it are arranged in a particular pattern, or that a non-record pixel located at a given position and record pixels surrounding it are arranged in a particular pattern. If such a condition appears repetitively, the pixel of interest surrounded by the non-record pixels or the record pixels can be regarded as a pixel undergone dot processing. Therefore, whether or not an input image is a dot pattern can be determined if image data lying in a bidimensional area constitued by a pixel of interest, which is sequentially shifted, and surrounding pixels is compared with a predetermined record dot detection pattern and a non-record dot detection pattern. However, when an image undergone dot processing is actually read by an image scanner, the image pattern of the resultant signal noticeably changes to obstruct accurate identification of dots. This stems from the fact that since dot printing renders density in terms of the area of record dots in a predetemined small area, a change in the density of an image translates into a noticeable change in the shape of the dots. Especially, when the dot density is around 50% or so, nearby record dots such as black pixels or non-record dots such as white pixels are sometimes connected together. Then, neither the record dots nor the non-record dots can be detected. To reduce the discrimination error particular to the dot density of 50%, the thresold level for binarizing image data into the record and non-record pixel levels may be adjusted. This, however, aggravates discrimination error when the dot density is higher or lower than 50%. To eliminate this dilemmatic situation, use may be made of at least two different threshold values, and two independent circuits for detecting record dots and non-record dots, respectively. Then, a dot pattern is identified on the basis of the results of detection of record dots and non-record dots with reference made to the image data derived from the two differnt threshold values. Generally, when a dot image is read by a scanner, the resultant signal appears as shown in FIG. 14. As FIG. 14 indicates, the signal changes in the height of peaks and the depth of troughs as well as in duty in association with the density. Paying attention to the signal with a density level of 50%, for example, the height of a peak and the depth of a trough changes with the position of the image. When the signal with the density of 50% is binarized at the threshold level TH.sub.1, the leading portion Pa has a peak higher than the level TH.sub.1 an a trough lower than the level TH.sub.1 and, therefore, the peak and the trough appear as, respectively, a record pixel and a non-record pixel in the resultant bilevel signal. However, in the trailing portion Pb, the peak and the trough both are higher than the threshold level TH.sub.1 with the result that a non-record pixel does not appear in the resultant bilevel signal. More specifically, such a signal is binarized at the threshold level TH.sub.1, a dot (record dot) is detected in the leading portion Pa out of a record pixel and non-record pixel pattern, but no dots can be detected in the trailing portion Pb. Assume that the signal with the density of 50% is binarized at the other threshold level TH.sub.2. Then both of the peak and trough in the leading portion Pa are lower than the level TH.sub.2, so that a record dot does not appear in the bilevel signal; in the trailing portion, since the peak is higher than the level TH.sub.2 and the trough is lower than the level TH.sub.1, the peak and the trough appear as, respectively a record pixel and a non-record pixel in the bilevel signal. In this manner, the threshold TH.sub.2 allows a dot (non-record dot) to be detected in the trailing portion Pb out of a record pixel and non-record pixel pattern while failing to do so when it comes to the leading portion Pa. It follows that even with a dot image whose density is 50% either a record dot or non-record dot can be detected if the threshold values TH.sub.1 and TH.sub.2 are used to detect a dot which is a record dot and to detect a dot which is a non-record dot, respectively. When the density is low such as 20%, record dots are detected by use of the threshold value TH.sub.1 while, when the density is high such as 80%, non-record dots are detected use of the threshold value TH.sub.2. However, the conventional approach described above has some problems left unsolved, as follows. When record dots and non-record dots in a dot area do not appear as dots or appear in a defective pattern due to moire, they are not regarded dots. The conventional approach is extremely susceptible to noise and is apt to regard even noise due to a solitary point of low density as a dot, resulting in frequent detection error. When a dot document having the same pitch and size in the main and subscanning directions is read, the density amplitude (MTF) usually differs from the main scanning direction to the subscanning direction, although the difference depends on the reading method and characteristic of the system. Further, it is likely that an area containing, for example, a line extending in the 45.degree. direction is misidentified. When the magnification is changed, the configuration of dot pattern is changed. Then, prepared patterns would fail to follow such a change in the configuration of a dot pattern and would thereby aggravate the misidentification of dots in the case of magnifications other than x1. Although this problem may be eliminated if the number of dot detection patterns is increased, this is not practicable without increasing the number of circuit components and elements.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '6026f66afb79c203eeebc9c0b656394452ad9ceb1fd748f51a2f11a1769106de'}

As geometries of the electronic devices shrink, lithography and patterning for electronic device designs become more challenging. Typically, a deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion lithography is used to enhance the photolithography resolution to manufacture integrated circuits (ICs). Typically, DUV lithography uses laser light with wavelengths of 248 and 193 nm. Generally, the immersion lithography is a technique that replaces the usual air gap between the final lens and the wafer surface with a liquid medium that has a refractive index greater than one. Generally, multiple patterning refers to a class of technologies for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs), developed for photolithography to enhance the feature density. An example of multiple patterning is double patterning, where a conventional lithography process is enhanced to double the existing number of features. Typically, a spacer is used in the double patterning technique. The spacer refers to a film formed on the sidewall of a pre-patterned feature. By removing the original pre-patterned feature, only the spacer is left. Because there are two spacers for every line, the line density has now doubled. Typically, existing multiple patterning techniques generate spacers having the profiles that have a shoulder recess (faceting), a tapered bottom (footing), and width non-uniformity due to pattern loading effect. The faceting, footing, and width non-uniformity cause difficulties in maintaining the spacer profile to transfer the pattern to underlying layers. Additionally, the faceting and footing of the spacer profile and the pattern loading effect causes difficulties in controlling critical dimension (CD) and critical dimension uniformity (CDU) of the patterned features. This causes significant design rule limitation on patterns which can be printed, and leads to high manufacturing cost.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'caa07230866da9d5acbc5794c54e5f28d4b78b646121c58e413b7ed8b2f619c8'}

Quilling Resources How Different Quilling Techniques Can Make Amazing Designs by Ezinearticles Paper quilling involves rolling thin strips of paper, typically 1/8 inch wide, around a needle or slotted quilling tool. The tiny paper rolls are then shaped, pinched and arranged in order to create quilled paper or paper filigree pictures. Paper coils can be rolled very tightly or quite loosely for various effects within your final image. As you might expect, loose coiled paper shapes can create bigger shapes, whilst smaller tightly paper coils can make smaller more defined shapes. A comprehensive familiarity with paper quilling techniques can enable you to create more elaborate and involved designs. You should utilize quilled paper to make framed pictures, or even to decorate cards or scrap-booking layouts. Basic Quilling Techniques 1. Most quilled shapes begin as either a closed coil or an open coil. A closed coil is rolled quite tightly and an open one a lot more loosely. Beginners could find it easier to employ a slotted quilling tool; however, more seasoned quillers often choose a needle or toothpick. Tight coils may very well be pushed upward through the center to produce a peg, adding another dimension in your final design. The end connected with an open coil is secured using a tiny amount of glue as well as the coil pinched into other shapes, including squares, triangles, tear drops and diamonds. Complex Quilling Techniques 2. Add complexity and interest on your quilling designs by utilizing paper strips of various sizes, or simply using a selection of techniques. Folded paper is just one such option. You can use a hair pick, onion holder or quilling comb to fold paper backwards and forwards over the teeth on the comb. This technique could easily create pine trees, feathers, leaves and other designs. Add folded paper leaves, flowers and fringed elements to the quilled designs. Combining classic, simple quilling techniques along with other paper-folding techniques allows you more versatility in your designs. Don't be worried to experiment! An important part of making your quilling masterpiece is experimenting and experiencing a process of learning from mistakes. Handling Quilling 3. Integrating your quilling into many different paper crafting projects is simpler than it may seem. Moreover, you can even work other paper crafting techniques together with your quilling techniques. Color paper strips with chalks or colored pencils before quilling. It would be better to apply color before cutting strips of paper. Also cut paper strips from various text-weight papers, including many of the papers sold for scrap-booking. Do make certain that any papers you end up picking are reversible for that good effect when quilled. By Caroll McBeth This article was published on Tuesday 09 April, 2013.

(1) Field of the Invention This invention relates to a process and an apparatus for producing an organic electroluminescent display, more specifically, to a process and an apparatus for producing a metal electrode thereof. (2) Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, an organic electroluminescent display is constructed in such a manner that a transparent electrode 11 made of indium tin oxide (hereinafter, ITO), a layer of organic electroluminescent material 12 and a metal electrode 13 are laminated in order on a transparent board 10. The metal electrode 13 is usually formed by electron beam evaporation method. As shown in FIG. 5, a transparent board 10, on which a transparent electrode 11 and a layer of organic electroluminescent material 12 are formed, is set up in a vacuum chamber that is not shown in the figure, then electron beams 3A generated at an electron beam generator 3 are irradiated onto a metal electrode material 1 that is placed in a crucible 2 to form a metal electrode 13, thereby melting the metal electrode material 1 to generate the metal vapor and then, the generated metal vapor is evaporated onto the layer of organic electroluminescent material 12, thereby the metal electrode 13 is formed. In such a case that the metal electrode 13 is formed by the above-mentioned electron beam evaporation method, as shown in FIG. 5, when the electron beams 3A are irradiated onto the metal electrode material 1, secondary electrons 4 are emitted from the metal electrode material 1 and collide against the layer of organic electroluminescent material 12. The secondary electrons 4 collide against the layer of organic electroluminescent material 12, causing damage to the layer of organic electroluminescent material 12 and deteriorating a luminous efficiency thereof. It is therefore an objective of the present invention to solve the above problem and to provide an apparatus for producing a metal electrode of organic electroluminescent display without deteriorating a luminous efficiency of a layer of organic electroluminescent material and a process for producing such a metal electrode. In order to attain the above objective, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for producing an organic electroluminescent display, in which a metal electrode is formed by electron beam evaporation method, comprising a device for preventing secondary electrons generated at an evaporation source from reaching a display board. Preferably, the device in the first aspect of the present invention forms a magnetic field in parallel with the display board between the display board and the evaporation source, whereby the magnetic field is formed in a direction crossing at right angles with electron beams irradiated onto the evaporation source. The device to form a magnetic field is electrically insulated. Further, the device in the first aspect of the present invention is a lattice-shaped electrode formed in parallel with the display board between the display board and the evaporation source, and a negative voltage is applied to the lattice-shaped electrode. A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for producing an organic electroluminescent display, in which a metal electrode is formed by electron beam evaporation method, comprising the steps of: forming a magnetic field in parallel with a display board between the display board and an evaporation source; and evaporating a metal electrode material of the evaporation source onto the display board by electron beam evaporation method. A third aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for producing an organic electroluminescent display, in which a metal electrode is formed by electron beam evaporation method, comprising the steps of: forming an electric field in a direction crossing at right angles with a display board between the display board and an evaporation source; and evaporating a metal electrode material of the evaporation source onto the display board by electron beam evaporation method.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'aef035bbd0cbbca64370cbbc2a1397463e92f6f4ddb7f05bd8c07b638b8b2fed'}
Three jailed for extorting €67,000 from crash victim THREE MEN convicted of extorting €67,000 from a Co Louth man three years ago have been jailed for terms of eight and 10 years. Gerard Stokes (31), Muirhevnamore, Dundalk, Co Louth, a father of two, David McDonagh (33) a father of four from Reask Court, Navan, Co Meath, and father-of-five James McDonagh (46), Grange Drive, Muirhevnamore, Dundalk, had been found guilty by a jury at Dundalk Circuit Court this month of demanding money with menaces from Niall Hearty on July 7th, 2009, at Stokes’s home and on the following day at Muirhevnamore. Det Garda Adrian Donoghue told a sentence hearing, before Judge Ray Fullam at the Central Courts of Justice in Dublin yesterday, that Mr Hearty was still living in fear and was considering emigrating with his family because of the incident. The court heard that Mr Hearty, who was awarded €159,000 compensation after a car crash, had gone to Stokes’s house on July 7th, 2009, after Stokes had rung him to discuss the possibility of buying or exchanging a vehicle. They met the other two men in the kitchen where a shotgun was produced. The three demanded money and threatened Mr Hearty and his family. Following two visits to his bank, Mr Hearty handed over €57,000 to the men. The next day all three called to him and said it would cost him another €10,000 to call off a hit-man who was on his way from Dublin to kill him. He gave a bank draft for that amount to Stokes. Mr Hearty told gardaí the men had threatened to shoot him and his family and said they did not care if he got the gardaí or the IRA as they would shoot them as well. In a victim-impact statement read by Kevin Seagrave, prosecuting, to the court, Mr Hearty said his life had been turned upside down since July 9th, 2009. “I have no comfort in my life around Dundalk as I am afraid to walk around the town for fear of meeting these men and their families. I’m looking over my shoulder all the time for every car or van that passes me.” Mr Hearty said he only went places where he knew there would be gardaí or CCTV. “I have not walked my kids to or from school since that day in July 2009,” he said. He said that he had intended to buy his partner’s council house for their children’s future and have two hip operations he needed because of the car crash but he no longer had the money. Barristers for all three defendants said their clients apologised for the stress they had caused Mr Hearty and his family. Judge Fullam said the offences, which had been planned and premeditated, were “abominably evil crimes committed by people who thought they were untouchable”. The judge sentenced Stokes and James McDonagh to eight years each and imposed a sentence of 10 years on David McDonagh, who had been involved in a previous robbery in Dundalk. The judge also directed that €18,960 found during a Garda search of Stokes’s home following his arrest be handed over to Mr Hearty.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'f32561959997b2a184df08793e2cc75673c9daadfc3abf6f7e7d285ff9595193'}
Darth Vader: Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once... let me... look on you with my own eyes. [Luke takes off Darth Vader's mask one piece at a time. Underneath, Luke sees the face of a pale, scarred, bald-headed, old man - his father, Anakin. Anakin sadly looks at Luke but then gives a tired smile] Yoda: Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is... another... Sky... walker. Obi-Wan: Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true... from a certain point of view. Obi-Wan: Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Anakin was a good friend. When I first met him, your father was already a great pilot. But I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong. Obi-Wan: Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous. Darth Vader: Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps she will! Luke: I feel his presence. But he can also feel mine. He's come for me. He can feel it when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission. I have to face him. Princess Leia: Luke, don't talk that way. You have a power I don't understand and could never have. Luke: You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia. The Emperor: Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion. [Luke's eyes go to his lightsabre] The Emperor: You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. The Emperor: [In the throne room, Luke is watching the Imperial fleet attack the Rebels from the huge throne room window] As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station! Moff Jerjerrod: [In the Death Star's firing room, a group of hooded Imperial gunners starts priming the Death Star's superlaser - a device so advanced it can be trained on capital ships, such as the Rebel aircraft carriers. A series of tones signify that the weapon is ready] Fire! [a second gunner hits a switch, and a huge laser beam roars down a firing shaft. The outer surface of the Death Star shows a huge laser dish start to develop, and then a titanic laser beam moves out from the Death Star's superlaser. It hits the Rebel Calamari Cruiser 'Liberty' and vaporizes the huge carrier in less than a second] Title card/crawl: Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt. Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC EMPIRE has begun construction on a new armored space station even more powerful than the first dreaded Death Star. When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of rebels struggling to restore freedom to the galaxy... [Aboard the Death Star, The Emperor's shuttle is greeted by hundreds of Imperial troops and officers. As the last of six red-robed Royal Guards exit the shuttle, both Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod kneel in reverence at the foot of the boarding ramp as the Emperor himself emerges] The Emperor: [to Luke] The Alliance... will die. As will your friends. Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenceless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete! The Emperor: Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends, up there on the sanctuary moon, are walking into a trap, as is your Rebel fleet. It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive. [Vader lifts the Emperor over his head, leading the Emperor to scream in shock as his force lightning shoots upward onto Vader, who throws the screaming Emperor into the abyss of the throne room and the Emperor hits the core of the shaft, causing an explosion, then Luke pulls his weakened father to safety] Admiral Ackbar: You can see here, the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although the weapon systems on this Death Star or not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor. [the projector shows the Death Star and the yellow lights indicating the shield] Admiral Ackbar: The shield must be deactivated, if any attack is to be attempted. [the projector enlarges the Death Star image] Admiral Ackbar: Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while our fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor. Yoda: [Deleted Scene - A dying Yoda confesses to Luke about the truth about Darth Vader] Unfortunate that you must rush to face him. And in complete of your training. That no ready the burden with you. Obi-Wan would had told you long ago if I had let him. Now, a great weakness you carry. Fear for you, I do. Face Vader you must and "sorry" will not help.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '3755aa749ed47b10a64a40837b285ea7c9c721ffa9fd66f14cc11d5baf1d1515'}
Coding theory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Channel code) Jump to: navigation, search A two-dimensional visualisation of the Hamming distance, a critical measure in coding theory. Coding theory is the study of the properties of codes and their respective fitness for specific applications. Codes are used for data compression, cryptography, error-correction, and networking. Codes are studied by various scientific disciplines—such as information theory, electrical engineering, mathematics, linguistics, and computer science—for the purpose of designing efficient and reliable data transmission methods. This typically involves the removal of redundancy and the correction or detection of errors in the transmitted data. There are four types of coding:[1] 1. Data compression (or, source coding) 2. Error correction (or channel coding) 3. Cryptographic coding 4. Line coding Data compression attempts to compress the data from a source in order to transmit it more efficiently. For example, Zip data compression makes data files smaller to reduce Internet traffic. Data compression and error correction may be studied in combination. Error correction adds extra data bits to make the transmission of data more robust to disturbances present on the transmission channel. The ordinary user may not be aware of many applications using error correction. A typical music CD uses the Reed-Solomon code to correct for scratches and dust. In this application the transmission channel is the CD itself. Cell phones also use coding techniques to correct for the fading and noise of high frequency radio transmission. Data modems, telephone transmissions, and NASA all employ channel coding techniques to get the bits through, for example the turbo code and LDPC codes. History of coding theory[edit] The binary Golay code was developed in 1949. It is an error-correcting code capable of correcting up to three errors in each 24-bit word, and detecting a fourth. Richard Hamming won the Turing Award in 1968 for his work at Bell Labs in numerical methods, automatic coding systems, and error-detecting and error-correcting codes. He invented the concepts known as Hamming codes, Hamming windows, Hamming numbers, and Hamming distance. Source coding[edit] The aim of source coding is to take the source data and make it smaller. Data can be seen as a random variable , where appears with probability . Data are encoded by strings (words) over an alphabet . A code is a function (or if the empty string is not part of the alphabet). is the code word associated with . Length of the code word is written as Expected length of a code is The concatenation of code words . The code word of the empty string is the empty string itself: 1. is non-singular if injective. 2. is uniquely decodable if injective. 3. is instantaneous if is not a prefix of (and vice versa). Entropy of a source is the measure of information. Basically, source codes try to reduce the redundancy present in the source, and represent the source with fewer bits that carry more information. Data compression which explicitly tries to minimize the average length of messages according to a particular assumed probability model is called entropy encoding. Various techniques used by source coding schemes try to achieve the limit of Entropy of the source. C(x) ≥ H(x), where H(x) is entropy of source (bitrate), and C(x) is the bitrate after compression. In particular, no source coding scheme can be better than the entropy of the source. Facsimile transmission uses a simple run length code. Source coding removes all data superfluous to the need of the transmitter, decreasing the bandwidth required for transmission. Channel coding[edit] The purpose of channel coding theory is to find codes which transmit quickly, contain many valid code words and can correct or at least detect many errors. While not mutually exclusive, performance in these areas is a trade off. So, different codes are optimal for different applications. The needed properties of this code mainly depend on the probability of errors happening during transmission. In a typical CD, the impairment is mainly dust or scratches. CDs use cross-interleaved Reed–Solomon coding to spread the data out over the disk.[2] Although not a very good code, a simple repeat code can serve as an understandable example. Suppose we take a block of data bits (representing sound) and send it three times. At the receiver we will examine the three repetitions bit by bit and take a majority vote. The twist on this is that we don't merely send the bits in order. We interleave them. The block of data bits is first divided into 4 smaller blocks. Then we cycle through the block and send one bit from the first, then the second, etc. This is done three times to spread the data out over the surface of the disk. In the context of the simple repeat code, this may not appear effective. However, there are more powerful codes known which are very effective at correcting the "burst" error of a scratch or a dust spot when this interleaving technique is used. Other codes are more appropriate for different applications. Deep space communications are limited by the thermal noise of the receiver which is more of a continuous nature than a bursty nature. Likewise, narrowband modems are limited by the noise, present in the telephone network and also modeled better as a continuous disturbance.[citation needed] Cell phones are subject to rapid fading. The high frequencies used can cause rapid fading of the signal even if the receiver is moved a few inches. Again there are a class of channel codes that are designed to combat fading.[citation needed] Linear codes[edit] The term algebraic coding theory denotes the sub-field of coding theory where the properties of codes are expressed in algebraic terms and then further researched.[citation needed] Algebraic coding theory is basically divided into two major types of codes:[citation needed] 1. Linear block codes 2. Convolutional codes It analyzes the following three properties of a code – mainly:[citation needed] • code word length • total number of valid code words • the minimum distance between two valid code words, using mainly the Hamming distance, sometimes also other distances like the Lee distance Linear block codes[edit] Linear block codes have the property of linearity, i.e. the sum of any two codewords is also a code word, and they are applied to the source bits in blocks, hence the name linear block codes. There are block codes that are not linear, but it is difficult to prove that a code is a good one without this property.[3] Linear block codes are summarized by their symbol alphabets (e.g., binary or ternary) and parameters (n,m,dmin)[4] where 1. n is the length of the codeword, in symbols, 2. m is the number of source symbols that will be used for encoding at once, 3. dmin is the minimum hamming distance for the code. There are many types of linear block codes, such as 1. Cyclic codes (e.g., Hamming codes) 2. Repetition codes 3. Parity codes 4. Polynomial codes (e.g., BCH codes) 5. Reed–Solomon codes 6. Algebraic geometric codes 7. Reed–Muller codes 8. Perfect codes Block codes are tied to the sphere packing problem, which has received some attention over the years. In two dimensions, it is easy to visualize. Take a bunch of pennies flat on the table and push them together. The result is a hexagon pattern like a bee's nest. But block codes rely on more dimensions which cannot easily be visualized. The powerful (24,12) Golay code used in deep space communications uses 24 dimensions. If used as a binary code (which it usually is) the dimensions refer to the length of the codeword as defined above. The theory of coding uses the N-dimensional sphere model. For example, how many pennies can be packed into a circle on a tabletop, or in 3 dimensions, how many marbles can be packed into a globe. Other considerations enter the choice of a code. For example, hexagon packing into the constraint of a rectangular box will leave empty space at the corners. As the dimensions get larger, the percentage of empty space grows smaller. But at certain dimensions, the packing uses all the space and these codes are the so-called "perfect" codes. The only nontrivial and useful perfect codes are the distance-3 Hamming codes with parameters satisfying (2r – 1, 2r – 1 – r, 3), and the [23,12,7] binary and [11,6,5] ternary Golay codes.[3][4] Another code property is the number of neighbors that a single codeword may have.[5] Again, consider pennies as an example. First we pack the pennies in a rectangular grid. Each penny will have 4 near neighbors (and 4 at the corners which are farther away). In a hexagon, each penny will have 6 near neighbors. When we increase the dimensions, the number of near neighbors increases very rapidly. The result is the number of ways for noise to make the receiver choose a neighbor (hence an error) grows as well. This is a fundamental limitation of block codes, and indeed all codes. It may be harder to cause an error to a single neighbor, but the number of neighbors can be large enough so the total error probability actually suffers.[5] Properties of linear block codes are used in many applications. For example, the syndrome-coset uniqueness property of linear block codes is used in trellis shaping,[6] one of the best known shaping codes. This same property is used in sensor networks for distributed source coding Convolutional codes[edit] The idea behind a convolutional code is to make every codeword symbol be the weighted sum of the various input message symbols. This is like convolution used in LTI systems to find the output of a system, when you know the input and impulse response. So we generally find the output of the system convolutional encoder, which is the convolution of the input bit, against the states of the convolution encoder, registers. Fundamentally, convolutional codes do not offer more protection against noise than an equivalent block code. In many cases, they generally offer greater simplicity of implementation over a block code of equal power. The encoder is usually a simple circuit which has state memory and some feedback logic, normally XOR gates. The decoder can be implemented in software or firmware. The Viterbi algorithm is the optimum algorithm used to decode convolutional codes. There are simplifications to reduce the computational load. They rely on searching only the most likely paths. Although not optimum, they have generally been found to give good results in low noise environments. Convolutional codes are used in voiceband modems (V.32, V.17, V.34) and in GSM mobile phones, as well as satellite and military communication devices. Cryptographical coding[edit] Cryptography or cryptographic coding is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties (called adversaries).[7] More generally, it is about constructing and analyzing protocols that block adversaries;[8] various aspects in information security such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation[9] are central to modern cryptography. Modern cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce. Cryptography prior to the modern age was effectively synonymous with encryption, the conversion of information from a readable state to apparent nonsense. The originator of an encrypted message shared the decoding technique needed to recover the original information only with intended recipients, thereby precluding unwanted persons from doing the same. Since World War I and the advent of the computer, the methods used to carry out cryptology have become increasingly complex and its application more widespread. Line coding[edit] A line code (also called digital baseband modulation or digital baseband transmission method) is a code chosen for use within a communications system for baseband transmission purposes. Line coding is often used for digital data transport. Line coding consists of representing the digital signal to be transported by an amplitude- and time-discrete signal that is optimally tuned for the specific properties of the physical channel (and of the receiving equipment). The waveform pattern of voltage or current used to represent the 1s and 0s of a digital data on a transmission link is called line encoding. The common types of line encoding are unipolar, polar, bipolar, and Manchester encoding. Other applications of coding theory[edit] Another concern of coding theory is designing codes that help synchronization. A code may be designed so that a phase shift can be easily detected and corrected and that multiple signals can be sent on the same channel.[citation needed] Another application of codes, used in some mobile phone systems, is code-division multiple access (CDMA). Each phone is assigned a code sequence that is approximately uncorrelated with the codes of other phones.[citation needed] When transmitting, the code word is used to modulate the data bits representing the voice message. At the receiver, a demodulation process is performed to recover the data. The properties of this class of codes allow many users (with different codes) to use the same radio channel at the same time. To the receiver, the signals of other users will appear to the demodulator only as a low-level noise.[citation needed] Another general class of codes are the automatic repeat-request (ARQ) codes. In these codes the sender adds redundancy to each message for error checking, usually by adding check bits. If the check bits are not consistent with the rest of the message when it arrives, the receiver will ask the sender to retransmit the message. All but the simplest wide area network protocols use ARQ. Common protocols include SDLC (IBM), TCP (Internet), X.25 (International) and many others. There is an extensive field of research on this topic because of the problem of matching a rejected packet against a new packet. Is it a new one or is it a retransmission? Typically numbering schemes are used, as in TCP."RFC793". RFCs. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). September 1981. Group testing[edit] Group testing uses codes in a different way. Consider a large group of items in which a very few are different in a particular way (e.g., defective products or infected test subjects). The idea of group testing is to determine which items are "different" by using as few tests as possible. The origin of the problem has its roots in the Second World War when the United States Army Air Forces needed to test its soldiers for syphilis. It originated from a ground-breaking paper by Robert Dorfman. Analog coding[edit] Information is encoded analogously in the neural networks of brains, in analog signal processing, and analog electronics. Aspects of analog coding include analog error correction,[10] analog data compression[11] and analog encryption.[12] Neural coding[edit] Neural coding is a neuroscience-related field concerned with how sensory and other information is represented in the brain by networks of neurons. The main goal of studying neural coding is to characterize the relationship between the stimulus and the individual or ensemble neuronal responses and the relationship among electrical activity of the neurons in the ensemble.[13] It is thought that neurons can encode both digital and analog information,[14] and that neurons follow the principles of information theory and compress information,[15] and detect and correct[16] errors in the signals that are sent throughout the brain and wider nervous system.

Slavery is a widespread institution in New Eden. Though it is primarily associated with the Amarr Empire and related entities, it is also a vital part of Sansha’s Nation, and constitutes one of the major social and criminal problems in other parts of the cluster. Exact numbers are difficult to come by, but the Sisters of EVE estimate that up to ten percent of all people in the cluster are slaves. The majority of slaves are of Minmatar ancestry, but every race can count at least some of their kind among the enslaved. … Khanid Kingdom Despite their more diverse slave stock, the Kingdom’s slaves are still primarily Minmatar. However, the majority is not nearly as great as it is in the Empire, though the Kingdom keeps less strict records and thus percentages are much harder to come by. Estimates generally top out around 60% of the Kingdom’s slaves as Minmatar. As with the Empire, large numbers of the Kingdom’s slaves are Ealur and of mixed heritage. Comparatively, the percentages are smaller, as the Kingdom has supplemented their stocks with large numbers of Gallente, Intaki, and Mannar stock. While they still make up a small minority, the populations are large enough that they have been subject to breeding programs by the Kingdom. … Elsewhere in New Eden Intaki Syndicate Despite being considered a haven for piracy, the Syndicate does not allow slavery of any form within its borders. Enforcement of this directive has been spotty, though it is typically followed by visitors to the area, who usually prefer the status quo to any disruption of it. … On February 29, 2016, CCP discontinued the EVElopedia. The article above contains snippets of canon Intaki-related lore saved from a larger article originally appearing in the wiki. The snippets have not been altered, other than to be reformatted to suit the theme of this website.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '48', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9619032144546508}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '66826', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:NRLGIOUENULXAPYZMQGLF3SHIQKU73UR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ff3549d0-a995-40ee-bf50-6bc0efc76f5b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 9, 30, 6, 14, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '35.214.112.229', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VDXXIRIHZTE3J2Y5KRHEYEKRMY27OAHZ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:61ad85e9-52a6-4552-89e0-606dc7520aac>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.ilfcorp.com/intaki/slavery/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:895b77fd-79d8-4a03-9dcc-e1e47dc12ca6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '310', 'url': 'https://www.ilfcorp.com/intaki/slavery/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-40\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September/October 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-88\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.0423930287361145', 'original_id': 'b1829bb0ba2bbe9dbcf291dfb7a4baf38287a10fbeb455b116ad429a66cd91b1'}

A new role for the A2b adenosine receptor in regulating platelet function. Activation of platelets is a critical component of atherothrombosis and plays a central role in the progression of unstable cardiovascular syndromes. Adenosine, acting through adenosine receptors, increases intracellular cAMP levels and inhibits platelet aggregation. The A2a adenosine receptor has already been recognized as a mediator of adenosine-dependent effects on platelet aggregation, and here we present a new role for the A2b adenosine receptor (A2bAR) in this process. As compared with platelets from wild-type controls, platelets derived from A2bAR knockout mice have significantly greater ADP receptor activation-induced aggregation. Although mouse megakaryocytes and platelets express low levels of the A2bAR transcript, this gene is highly upregulated following injury and systemic inflammation in vivo. Under these conditions, A2bAR-mediated inhibition of platelet aggregation significantly increases. Our studies also identify a novel mechanism by which the A2bAR could regulate platelet aggregation; namely, ablation of the A2bAR leads to upregulated expression of the P2Y1 ADP receptor, whereas A2bAR-mediated or direct elevation of cAMP has the opposite effect. Thus, the A2bAR regulates platelet function beyond mediating the immediate effect of adenosine on aggregation. Taken together, these investigations show for the first time that the platelet A2bAR is upregulated under stress in vivo, plays a significant role in regulating ADP receptor expression, and inhibits agonist-induced platelet aggregation.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'c797fd654a684b5e3e168e28ae42d9ec691488660ff3a6b9873d4ae8598fce8f'}
Steps to improve quality of marketing intelligence system According to Kettle (2009) a marketing Intelligence system Is a set of procedures and sources managers use to obtain everyday Information about developments in the marketing environment. A marketing intelligence system also facilitates accurate and confident decision making in determining market opportunity, market penetration strategy and market development metrics. Hans Helped (2010) noted that data must be integrated into the market intelligence systems through proper intelligence for corporate decision-making. In an article by Thomas Winning (2006) he stated that the key is to gather quality information, the quality of information that a company gather will dictate the quality and success of decision, hence there are various steps a company can take to Improve the quality of its marketing Intelligence function. The various steps that should be taken by a company to Improve the quality of Its marketing Intelligence are discussed by Kettle (2009). The first step Is to train and motivate the sales force to pot and report new developments. It Is Imperative for companies to train Its sales group or team to collect good quality information about existing and emerging markets. They need to gather information about prices and products. There are various types of motivational sales training, for example lecturing is used orally to communicate concepts theories and ideas. This style is provided with an outline that they follow and take notes. Discussion groups are also used in motivational sales training to discuss issues and concerns and to prompt questions. In an article by Kelley Robertson he stated that In order to motivate a sales team we need to give them the tools to succeed. He added that no team will stay motivated if they do not have the necessary tools required to do their Job this Includes equipment, internal support, inventory, marketing material and training. The Information that can be gathered by the sales team will allow the company to be aware of opportunities for new product development and whether or not there Is a requirement for Improvement. The second step according to Kettle (2009) to improve the quality of marketing intelligence is to motivate distributors, retailers and other intermediaries to pass along important intelligence. Kettle added that companies must maintain healthier relationships with their intermediaries like distributors, retailers, dealers and partners to gather information about market intelligence. I believe with constant and effective communication companies can maintain healthy relationships with distributors and retailers to pass along important intelligence. Specialists are hired by companies to gather marketing intelligence. Marketing Intelligence describe the set of activities that provide a company with a view of the market using existing sources of Information to understand what Is happening In a market place, what the Issues are, what the competitors are doing and what customers or consumers are doing. Specialists can identify the company’s competitors. Analyze the market These specialists usually have a nose for what they don’t see and what is missing in the data that they find. They can often translate into hidden market gaps and opportunities. They also have a sharp sense how to use partial data such as financial reports, in order to make assessments about general performance, for example whether revenue growth is led by prices or sales growth. Many companies’ uses external resources analyst houses that provide not Just data but commentary and advice on the current market picture based on their contact with suppliers and other companies. Many of the analyst houses act as brokers between suppliers, collating information and sharing it more widely. In some industries the analyst have very specific and large sums of data such as retail audits. Firms assess the quality of customer experience with the use of mystery shoppers. Mystery shopping also known as secret shopping, involves posing as a customer to evaluate the goods and services that a company provide which includes; how long it takes to be greeted, seed of service, cleanliness of location, compliance with company standard, that is dress code, signage etc. The third step is network externally; firms need to pay attention to its competitors. According to the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professional, competitive intelligence (C’) is the legal and ethical collection, analysis and distribution of information regarding the competitive environment and the capabilities, vulnerabilities and intentions of business competitors. A competitive intelligence specialist can obtain information the internet, company websites offer a wide range of information in a form that is easier to access than comparable printed documents. The specialists can also gather information from online databases, for example. PR Newswire and other sources of business announcements and news stories provide a way to keep up with competitive product development. These are available through several online databases. Government website and databases contain information about such areas as patent filings, environmental filings and management changes. Articles appearing in trade publications and Journals are often available in electronic form through online databases. Conference Proceeding is another source of information that CLC specialists use. These conference proceedings can provide useful snapshots on how markets are developing hence they offer the opportunity to find out what the competitors are doing. Conferences are provided by professional associations or academic institutions which are excellent sources of information. Customers and vendors can be quizzed about what the competition id doing. CLC specialists can also pose as potential customers of the competition. Salespeople can leak information about forthcoming new products, including scheduling information and product specification. Moreover, posing as a customer begins to move competitive intelligence into the realm of corporate espionage, where different techniques are used to obtain information about competing firms. These methods include using covert means and taking advantage of a competitor’s carelessness regarding data security, for example corporate spies can gather sensitive information by going through a firm’s trash and receiving draft versions of important documents that have been discarded or by eavesdropping on telephone conversations or casual conversations. Setting up a customer advisory Channel is the fourth step, that is very intriguing to me. Managers can customer’s feedback and suggestions. Another example is many business schools set up panels consisting of alumni who provide their knowledge and expertise and help with constituting the course curriculum. In an article by Jennifer Gilbert, Praetor’s law suggests that eighty percent of any company’s revenue generally comes from twenty percent of their clients. A customer advisory panel can solidify business relationships with those very important clients, which help generate quality business and provide insight and feedback on company strategy. According to April Donors author of “Ten Rules for running a Customer Advisory Council” The key to making a customer advisory panel an effective business tool is to remember that it is an interactive meeting among top clients and that post-meeting action is expected. A customer Advisory Panel illustration by Jennifer Gilbert The fifth step to improve the quality of marketing intelligence is to take advantage of government data sources. Governments publish reports regarding the population trends, demographic characteristics, agricultural production and many more, for example some government data sources include; Budget, Bureau of Census, Bureau of Statistics etc. However this data can assist Companies in planning and formulating policies for the company. I believe that companies would be more efficient and effective once this data is utilized. The sixth step is information from external suppliers. Certain Agencies sell data that can be useful to other companies, for example television channels will require information on the number or viewers, ratings of TV programs. An agency which calculates this information and generates this data will provide it to companies who need it. I would like to mention A. C Nielsen Company which is leading global information and Measurement Company that provides research, insights and data about what people watch and what they buy. One of Nielsen best known creations is the Nielsen ratings, an audience measurement system that measures television, radio and newspaper audience. Another market research tool is the Homeless program where sample members track and report all grocery and retail purchases, allowing purchasing patterns to be related to household demographics. I believe companies should do more research on A. C. Nielsen so that they will understand how it will contribute towards improving their company’s marketing intelligence. The final step is the use of online feedback systems to collect competitive Intelligence. Customer’s view of a product or service is very important for any company. Online chat rooms, blobs, discussion forums, customer review boards can be used to facilitate and generate feedback. In my opinion feedback allows a company to satisfy customers need and to also improve on their product or service, for example APS that are available online for Android and Blackberry handsets and tablets, you can always revisit the app after you have downloaded it and add reviews. I have noticed a lot of bad reviews on some f the APS; however, the company fixes the bugs as soon as to facilitate customer satisfaction. Moreover, the quality of data that they would have collected can help the researchers and specialist can easily view these feedbacks thus providing company knowledge about their competitor’s weaknesses and strengths. Two leading markets the Android markets and Blackberry market are highly competitive. Blackberry can view Android’s online reviews, analyze their weak points and try to improve on their APS. Example of online ratings and customer feedback In conclusion, once companies apply the above mentioned steps, a company’s racketing Intelligence system will prove to be valuable to its effective functioning.

View Full Version : Tennis shoe options for my troublesome foot. 09-25-2009, 09:35 AM So I played a ton of soccer in high school and ran long distance (8+ miles). Competed in my first marathon. Anyway long story short I got a stress fracture in my leg that ended my D1 scholarship. 4 years later and im a senior in college. The stress fracture healed but as my body has become less "nimble" I need special orthodic inserts to be able to run (i do triathlons now) without pain. Now for the question. I can't wear shoes with a lot of support which is essentially the point of a tennis shoe. They don't flex latteraly which hurts me the next day. I have been using running shoes to play because they allow my foot to move how it wants and they flex side to side instead of locking my foot in. Anyway I have currently been trying asics gel resolution II's which I read are very comfortable. They still hurt so im looking to see if there are any options out there for someone like me. Im burning through running shoes.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9608230590820312}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '3032', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GUTOQ3I72SWIG5ZUE3XGTNVW4NY7FAJB', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:429def7d-efeb-4a14-815a-ba8387d428e6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 30, 3, 28, 50), 'WARC-IP-Address': '72.29.176.21', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:4UVFNGA7QITKL22BKFAMPY3YZURZNKDX', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d6489a44-45d0-4ec2-bd21-23c7999c881e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/archive/index.php/t-290160.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:76f58660-bb33-43e2-803a-574cc4e8734f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '190', 'url': 'http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/archive/index.php/t-290160.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-06\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for January 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': '0.09197741746902466', 'original_id': '8229d9309eaafe6b4913c010dea0fdfa2954f2f70cea730da5c152c8b662f4bd'}

Review: “Ink,” Sabrina Vourvoulias Pros: Vivid; amazing characters; scary Rating: 5 out of 5 I’m floored by Sabrina Vourvoulias’s dystopian fantasy Ink. Journalist Finn Riordan is covering immigrant-related stories in a world where immigrants are required to wear identity tattoos and speak only English. He meets and falls in love with Mari, an American citizen who was born in Guatemala. At a time when people are doing things like kidnapping “inks” (people with tattoos) and dumping them across one of the borders, Mari and her friend Nely disappear. Abbie is a young woman who’s been in trouble with the law, and has to do community service hours at her mother’s “inkatorium,” basically an internment camp for inks. There people are fitted with GPS trackers and held against their will. Supposedly it’s meant to house sick immigrants, but of course that’s just an excuse to lock people up. Abbie ends up deciding to break out two particular inks with the help of her boyfriend, John. Mari has a “spirit twin” of a jaguar, who can help to protect her. Her village was destroyed by kaibil, or evil dwarves. Del, Finn’s brother-in-law, possesses a kind of earth magic that he uses to protect a bunch of inks living on his land–right up until he’s hit by a car and left permanently disabled. Then he has to find other ways to help inks evade the law. Things start to come to a head as mobs form, cities burn, and mass deportations ensue. The characters in this book are some of the most fully-realized I’ve ever seen. Abbie’s mother, who is complicit in some of the horrors brought down on inks, turns out to care more about her daughter than it might seem. Toño, a gang leader, steps into the action in some unexpected ways. Del, who falls for a Cuban chemist called Meche, is still caught up in a strained relationship with his not-quite-ex-wife. After Mari’s been missing for months, Finn has to try to figure out whether he actually loves her, or is just caught up in the remnants of the rush of feelings that comes on at the first blush of a relationship. Nothing’s simple, and no character is totally ‘good’ or totally ‘bad’. This tale is particularly apt right now, when immigration is such a hot topic. It isn’t actually that hard to imagine the things in this book happening, which makes it all the scarier. It gets into the ways in which news reporting gets compromised. It delves into the ways in which tattoos are used to make it easy for non-inks to ostracize inks. At one point, Del, who isn’t an ink, gets ostracized after he sits with inks at a funeral, because that just isn’t done. The tattoos have been used to emphasize the “other”-ness of the immigrants, and it splits the population terribly. Luckily this isn’t a story of white people as saviors. Immigrants and non-immigrants both work together to save the people they love. Just so you know: content warning for rape. It’s handled very well, though. The pacing is excellent. I shed tears at a couple of points. I remember reading the last chapters with my fist against my mouth because the tension was so high. I truly cared about the characters and wanted to see things work out for them. The book is neither overly depressing nor overly optimistic, allowing the plot and characters to speak for themselves. The touches of fantasy add a bit of magic to the story without overwhelming it. This is one of those rare books I think everyone could benefit from reading.

What are the key words for first person pov?I decided to brush up on old essays from... I decided to brush up on old essays from the past and learn a little more about writing. and i realized i don't know the difference between the different perspectives of writing... i.e. 1st, 3rd, and omniscient. I know for first person that the words I, we, and he/she are some key words. Are there any other key things/words that I should know before I try to revise/edit. thank you to anyone who answers. First person point of view, as you say, is when a narrator tells his or her story using the personal pronouns I, me, my, we, our, ours, etc. Second person point of view refers to how we might directly address a person, for example in conversation, when referring to someone or something as "you" or "yours." Third person point of view is when a narrator tells his or her story from outside the story, an independent observer, using the pronouns he, she, it, his, hers, its, etc. Within the third person point of view are defined the third person limited narrator, who knows and expresses the inner thoughts and feelings of one character, and the third person omniscient, or all-knowing, narrator, who knows and expresses the inner thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story. If you are focusing on narration from the first person point of view, you may wish to reread from the masters of this vantage point. Three of these are Willaim Faulkner and James Joyce who employ the technique of stream-of-consciousness with their first person narrators. This stream of consciousness is effective in ways such as conveying the inner turmoil of their narrators. Edgar Allan Poe, who utitlizes the privilege of an irrational first person narrator in gothic tales. The singleness of focus that the irrational first person narrator affords contributes so well to the horror of Poe's tales. As you said, first point of view uses articles such as me, I, we. First POV narration tends to be narrow minded and with the opinion of the character. The other characters thoughts and ideas are portrayed through dialogue whilst the ideas of the main character are expressed through narration and the reader experiences them firsthand	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'c7c24de89036dd51d0a55d8321fa93ddc4044f17f634d09ceb5d625df50e024a'}

Project/Moore Reading (Emily Scott) I am planning on becoming vegan this semester. The following is a list of things I will complete. 1. Research how to healthily transition into becoming vegan 2. Conduct interviews with vegans to determine what works for them here at OWU as well as at home. 3. Maintain a record of what I eat and what I most likely would have consumed if I were not vegan to create an approximate reference for how being vegan quantifiably effects my the community. 4. Keep a record of what techniques work for me becoming vegan and the struggles I have on my way. Current Event: The Hubble telescope recently discovered that the galaxy NGC 5408 is an irregular galaxy as opposed to a regular galaxy like three fourths of the known galaxies. The galaxy was discovered in 1834. Being an irregular galaxy means that the it’s a can’t be generally grouped into easily identifiable regular shapes like spirals and ellipticals. This galaxy is known for it’s ultra luminous x-ray source that may be a sign of an intermediate mass black hole which are very hard to find. NGC was presumably a planetary nebula, a gaseous cloud or gas generated by a dying star until it was discovered that it’s just a galaxy that doesn’t conform to a regular shape. Garbage Matters: Concepts in New Geography of Waste Sarah Moore “Reframing waste as a resource addresses part of what is missed by thinking solely of waste as hazard.” The idea that trash is a commodity to be utilized makes it easier to find places to put it. However, just like recycling, we need to split up the trash into different areas. “Waste as hazard, therefore, focuses research on ethical questions of the just distribution of toxic materials throughout society and demands intervention in terms of increased regulation of the disposal and production of such materials.” Toxic waste has always been hard to remove so finding a place to put it will hopefully improve with technological and biological research breakthroughs. “While they have different foci, work that posits waste as a simple commodity that can be exchanged to create wealth and economic growth in and among countries has some similarities with work that constructs waste as resource.” One problem with distributing the waste to countries for increased economic growth is travel cost. “The process of disposing of waste becomes ‘thoroughly constitutive of social and indeed ethical activity’” When dealing with relationships between countries, there is always a problem of making sure both are environmental safe. We continuously create waste, therefore, if we were to create a safe, resourceful way to dispose of it, there is a lot of economic and environmental gains to be made.

Solid-state disk gives SANs performance Why you can use them somewhat cost-effictively. While Solid-State Disks (SSDs) are a well-known, effective and extremely expensive technique for speeding up storage performance, their applicability has been limited. Now a new generation of SAN-aware SSDs promises to bring their performance improvements to the SAN as a whole. A solid-state disk is a large chunk of solid-state memory that is configured and treated as if it were a storage device like a disk. Usually SSDs are separate boxes with their own battery-backed power supply to give them the reliability of a conventional disk. The result is something that looks to the system like an extremely fast storage device. SSDs have been used for years to do jobs such as improving the performance of transactional databases. They haven't been common because they are so expensive. Traditionally a solid-state disk is attached to a single application, such as a database. In effect it becomes a very high speed cache for that application. But because SSDs are so expensive they are usually solutions of last resort and generally used only when a single application on the system needs an enormous performance boost. The latest wrinkle in SSDs is to virtualize them as a SAN resource. This lets the SSD support multiple applications on multiple servers and in some cases even multiple SANs with the device's resources dynamically switched to where it will do the most good. Among the companies offering SAN-aware SSDs are Imperial Technology with its SANAccelerator and MTI with its V-Cache. SAN-aware SSDs aren't any cheaper, but because they can be shared over the whole SAN, they can be much more cost effective. Instead of improving the performance of a single application, the SSD increases the performance of the whole SAN. Imperial Technology has a discussion of the basics of using SSDs with SANs in a white paper titled "Tuning Storage Area Networks (SANs) with Solid State Disks" at its website. Another white paper on the same topic from Imperial and FalconStor Software titled "The High Performance Alliance: SAN, SSD and Virtualization" can be found at Dig Deeper on Primary storage devices	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '42', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9500291347503662}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '203307', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LTE6A426GOEX5M7L3HO7LCEV7L5APTTC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:cb903bb8-6151-490d-a8a8-f6af1a0de05b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 23, 5, 10, 49), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.18.0.92', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:LACS3ZB6LOJOSMUSL55QVALC2CXJ565Z', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cd80a511-2a65-48d5-b81c-fe621c28ccc9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://searchstorage.techtarget.com/tip/Solid-state-disk-gives-SANs-performance', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:6aca9caa-17b7-47bb-8f1b-7d728a570878>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '417', 'url': 'https://searchstorage.techtarget.com/tip/Solid-state-disk-gives-SANs-performance', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-172.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': '0.21033912897109985', 'original_id': '21c3792916c712f940bb57c456ba606c41f39f9e4efeeff13982e2f28f8a42c4'}
Lizzy Albinson BFA in Art & Design A Suspension of Space and Time A Suspension of Space and Time is an experimental virtual reality project. It utilizes virtual reality to create a world that exists on the edge of comforting and creepy for the viewer to explore alone. This world features a nondescript American suburb, borrowing the iconography of the 1950's American dream. While this setting is usually filled with people, here it is completely empty, leaving room to contemplate what it means to be alone there and what the space symbolizes when it is isolated. I am fascinated by three-dimensional places that only exist in the minds of people and now, with the rising popularity of virtual reality, there is a new kind of nonexistent space to explore.

$1 for 3 months. Save 97%. $1 for 3 months. Save 97%. Car won't start in the cold? Some tips for preparing your car for freezing weather Kaitlyn Kanzler Cold weather can affect cars to the point where it becomes dangerous for drivers. Robert Sinclair, manager of media relations with AAA Northeast, said the top three things that call AAA out during cold weather are batteries dying, tires and people locking themselves out of their cars. Sinclair added that a lot of things are working against drivers during the cold weather and offered a number of tips. What if my car won't start? Like a phone that has been sitting out in the cold too long, low temperatures can also drain power from car batteries, said Sinclair. When temperatures fall below 32 degrees, a battery loses 30 percent of its power. When temperatures plummet into single digits, it loses 60 percent of its power, Sinclair said. Drivers should check to make sure their battery is maintained. Oxide build up on the terminals can limit the electricity that goes through the battery. A visit to the mechanic before the extreme cold settles in might be worth it. They can perform a load test on the battery, which gives a rating to determine the battery's heath. Story continues below gallery Beware low tire pressure Like many people learned in science class, air expands in the heat and contracts in the cold, and the air in tires is no different. For every 10 degree drop in temperature, tires lose one pound per square inch and could become dangerously under inflated, Sinclair said. "A lot of people don't check their tire pressure," Sinclair said. "Tires lose one pound per square inch a month." Many cars now have TPMS or tire pressure monitoring systems that keep an eye on your tire pressure. As temperatures fall, so does the pressure in your tires, so it's possible that your TPMS system will activate, indicating low pressure. Low tire pressure can cause your tires to fail, so it's important to heed the warning light and check how much air is in your tires. As you drive and the tire heats, the air pressure will also increase. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't check your tire pressure. Especially as the temperatures begin to dive. Why are my tires shaking after snow? Sometimes after it snows a car will shake when a driver gets up to speed, which causes some worry. But this problem may not require a trip to the mechanic. Often, it's just a build up of snow and ice that causes the tires to become unbalanced. To fix the issue, take your snow brush and clean in between the spokes of the wheels to knock the snow and ice off before driving. Fill up! It's a good idea to have your gas tank at least half full. Sinclair said that gas lines can freeze-up without at least half a tank of gas because of moisture being trapped in the line. The pipe has a small diameter and is easily blocked if any moisture in the pipe freezes. CAR TROUBLE:Why is my car shaking after the snowstorm? SAFEST TOWNS:New Jersey's 2019 top 10 safest municipalities all hail from the north Should I let my car run? No need to let your car warm up anymore, said Sinclair. Most cars now have fuel injection engines so there is no reason for cars to have to sit for a long period of time. "As long as the car starts, you should be fine" Sinclair said. Plus, in New Jersey, you could get a fine for warming up your car too long. Cars that have been stopped for three or more hours can only idle for 15 minutes. And that's only if the temperature is below 25 degrees. However, drivers should still go gently for at least 10 to 15 minutes while the engine warms up said Sinclair. If a driver goes too hard on the cold engine, it could cause damage. What should I have in my car? Drivers should have some basic necessities in the car just in case they break down and someone cannot help them immediately or cell phone service is spotty, Sinclair said. He recommends people keep a first aid kit, blankets, flashlights, ice scrapers, water, non-perishable food supplies and basic tools like pliers and multiple types of screwdrivers and jumper cables. "People need to be self-sufficient because they may be on their own," Sinclair said. Driving in snow:Check tire pressure and treads before heading out Stay warm:Wind chill advisory to go into effect for NJ. Here's a list of warming centers More tips Sinclair also recommended that people replace their windshield wipers and keep windshield de-icer in the car. Drivers should also use windshield washer fluid that is made for below freezing temperatures. If the solution is not made for colder weather, it could damage the pump and the line.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9513792991638184}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '149305', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:J66WY2DFCTSIZKB3K3UPUPN3FSXKLE7S', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a6ccd4af-1f6d-48f4-bd97-e6fd15198bc9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 2, 27, 10, 40, 13), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.202.62', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:O7UXQTK35HJYNILIKCFLRLHFVWER7OVO', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2075e4d4-4e65-4a39-b86b-7ae95374c98e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.northjersey.com/story/weather/2019/01/30/nj-weather-car-wont-start-cold-caring-your-car-polar-vortex/2720251002/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:6c1a1b33-0e7d-42c1-87f4-a489c0d2c4b8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '816', 'url': 'https://www.northjersey.com/story/weather/2019/01/30/nj-weather-car-wont-start-cold-caring-your-car-polar-vortex/2720251002/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-10\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February/March 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-210.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (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': '0.27327048778533936', 'original_id': 'd804ec58a86b0adda15eec01fb7acd4cb1c96dd4256fabf42190c211a6ee7172'}
In Chapter I., the purpose of the present paper is indicated and its general limits are defined. In Chapter II., the work of thirty-seven general Fresh Air socie- ties— not including similar agencies in New York City — is dis- cussed from the standpoint of statistics, and definite data respecting the distribution, development, volume, range, types, cost and methods of the charity are presented. Chapter III., is a detailed study of the Fresh Air activities of a single city. New York, because of its relation to the charity at its inception and the rapid multiplication of Fresh Air agencies there, has offered a promising field for closer investigation. In the present chapter, we have discussed in the light of the sta- tistical data and of general experience, certain specific problems relating to the practical operation of the philanthropy. We are now prepared to answer the questions raised at the be- ginning of the inquiry. The conclusions to be drawn have been already more or less definitely anticipated in the course of the dis- cussion. They may therefore be the more briefly summarized here. The justification of Fresh Air charity rests upon the assumption that its beneficiaries are physically and materially in need, and there- fore unable to secure for themselves or their children those curative and recreational opportunities vouchsafed to their more fortunate fellows, and essential to the maintenance of normal vigor or the successful pursuit of daily tasks. Whatever rules are applicable to the distribution of general re- lief are also applicable to the distribution of Fresh Air relief. Prom- iscuous alms-giving stands condemned. Experience proves that society may have as many dependents as she is willing to provide eine der segensreichsten sanitilren Institutionen zu bezeiclinen, deren unzweifelhafte Erfolge um so holier angeschlagen werden miissen, als sie nicht bios voriibergehender, sondern dauernder Natur sind imd nicht bios den betreffenden Kindern, sondern durch dlese aucb der Gesammt- heit zu Gute kommen." M. Guyau, In his noted work, "Education et heredite," warmly en- dorses "les colonies de vacances et les voyages de vacanees." He quotes the words of his countryman, M. Cottinet, experienced in the philanthropy, to show its hygienic value. "Et Ton a pu constater ces deux choses d'une eloquence §gale; avant leur depart pour la campagne, le poids de ces enfants, la circonfei-ence de leur poitrine, sont fort au- dessous, lamentablement au-dessous de la moyenne assignee a leur age; a leur retour, la proportion s'est renversee: ils ont gagne de cinq a dix, a vingt fois I'accroissement normal." (Education et heredite," p. 112.) lOS FRESH AIR CHARITY. for. The distinction between sentimental charity and scientific re- lief is not one of motive but one of vision. Difference of vision leads to difference of method. Both the sentimentalist and the so- ciologist desire to satisfy need. The one, however, is conscious only of the individual and the present moment. The other sees society in the individual and takes counsel of the future. Scientific charity seeks therefore to discriminate between the worthy and the un- worthy, and to restore those who are dependent through no fault of their own, to a place of self-respect in the economic world. While, as we have seen. Fresh Air relief commonly possesses certain checks which reduce the danger of pauperizing its beneficiaries, this fact does not absolve the charity from due care in the distribution of its favors. If then we accept the fact that Fresh Air work as here classified is a charity, and as such is to be governed by the rules of organized relief, much is gained for its scientific administration. How shall the ailing and the needy be sifted from the mass of importunates except by some kind of test, registration or investiga- tion? And how may the worthy poor who shrink from asking charity in any form and who have no friends to speak for them, be discovered except by some plan of visitation? With an annual dis- tribution of some half-million days' outings and the expenditure of more than $150,000 in the case of a single city like New York, must all attempts to coordinate the work of the several Fresh Air societies be abandoned? Dr. William L Hull, in charge of the Department of Sociology and Economics at Swarthmore College, after a sum- mer's practical experience with the workings of Fresh Air charity in New York, sums up the situation as follows: "The task of criticism is always an unpleasant one, and in the name of charity many sins should be forgiven; but there are certain evils which cannot be forgotten, and which every effort should be made to avoid. Our experience in the Bureau of Invitations has led us to the conclusion that a great deal of summer charity covers at least two great evils, namely, ignorance of the true status of those sought to be benefited and consequent injury to them and others; and, secondly, an overlapping in the work of charitable agencies. As an instance of the first, when it was ascertained that a family recommended to us for a fortnight's stay at the Homes was in receipt of suthcient income to enable them to occupy rooms with a monthly rental of $40, the no doubt well- meaning individual who recommended them replied, when asked for an explanation of why she had recommended them: 'Oh, I am only a missionary, and you cannot expect me to know such things.' Again, when leading newspapers and charitable societies march beneath the DISCUSSION OF GENERAL PROBLEMS. 109 banner of 'Philanthropy, Notoriety and a Long Subscription List,' they are often led to reap in a field already harvested, and an injurious re- duplication of Fresh Air Charity ensues. This, we regret to say, has been the case in our city during the past summer. It is not contended, of course, that everyone who needed an outing received it. (2) It would call for a systematic registration of beneficiaries on the part of all the Fresh Air societies. (3) The experiment would de- monstrate how far the charity is at present subject to abuse. (4) Finally, if serious duplication were discovered, doubtless some prac- tical method would be devised to prevent its continuance. Such efforts at coordination might ultimately lead to the forma- ^A. I. 0. P. Notes, Vol. I., Nos. 4 and 5, p. 64. Dr. Hull notes the fact that of the families applying or recommended to the N. Y. A.

All this may be but an idle dream. One may well wish, how- ever, that a charity which rallies to its support all sorts and condi- tions of folk — the artisan and the clerk, the child and its parents, the devotee of the club and the woman of society, the secularist and the churchman, the democrat and the Sultan of Turkey — might set that example of practical cooperation for whose consummation scientific charity waits. In the meantime, let all efforts municipal and private, which aim to bring Fresh Air privileges or their equiva- * For the sake of record, it may be noted that the "Conference of Charities of the City of New York," at its monthly meeting, April 21, 1897, held in the United Charities Building, considered the topic: "Fresh Air and Summer Charities." The writer, by request, submitted to the Con- ference a plan for a Central Council of the Fresh Air Societies of the city. The plan was discussed by the Chairman of the meeting, Rev. willard Parsons, and by the following invited speakers: Hon. John P. Faure, of St. John's Guild; Dr. H. E. Crampton, of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor; Mr. Nathan Lewis, of the Sani- tarium for Hebrew Children; Mrs. J. H. Johnston, of the Little Mothers' Aid Association; Mr. Charles Loring Brace, of the Children's Aid Society, and Mr. James E. Dougherty, of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Other speakers were Mr. Homer Folks, Secretary of the Conference, Dr. Moreau Morris, and Rev. John B. Devins. The following resolutions were presented and passed without a dissenting voice: RESOLVED, That a Committee of Five, consisting of the Chairman of this meeting, the principal speaker of the meeting, the Secretary of the Conference of Charities and two persons to be appointed by the Chair- man, be appointed as a Committee to take the initial steps in behalf of the Conference of Charities, in the formation of a Council of Fresh Air and Summer Charities in New York City, and RESOLVED, That the duties of this Committee shall be as follows: 1. To fix a time and place for the first meeting of such a Council. 2. To issue invitations in the name of the Conference of Charities to each of the general societies engaged in Fresh Air and Summer Charity, inviting them to send a delegate to the proposed Council of Fresh Air and Summer Charities. 3. To ascertain whether any of the societies in this building will furnish office room for a clerk of the Council of Fresh Air and Summer Charities during the summer months without charge. 4. To formulate an estimate of the expense involved in carrying on the work of the Council during the summer months in accordance with the plans outlined at this meeting. 5. To formulate and present to the first meeting of the Council a plan of organization. 6. To take such other preliminary action as may seem to them nec- essary in arranging for the first meeting of the Council. DISCUSSION OF GENERAL PROBLEMS. Ill lents within the reach of the everyday Hfe of the people, be quickened and multipHed. These efforts relate to improved housing, small parks and children's playgrounds in the tenement sections, a system of dock parks where practicable, training classes for mothers, vaca- tion schools, baths and lavatories, and the development of rapid and cheap transit facilities lessening the breach between country and city. Far better than any charity even at its best is the distribution of such social and economic opportunities as will make wholesome normal living possible for the denizens of the tenement and their children. 112 FRESH AIR CHARITY.

Wednesday, February 27, 2019 I think it's important to share as much truth as possible with mankind before you die Because "Without enough Truth the people perish!" And with someone like Trump as president we cannot help but live in a sea of lies, lies and more Lies! And living with lies is how whole species go extinct. For example, because Trump doesn't say he believes in Global Warming 1 or 2 billion either are going to die or not be born this century (which is one of the direct consequences of his lies already). As a pre-cognitive psychic I'm not joking about this by the way. This is what is going to happen given all present day variables. So, how many given present variables will still be alive in 2100? At present I think at least 4 billion people likely will still be alive that weren't killed by global warming in 2100. But, that number is sure to drop to 2 or 1 billion or less by 2200. So, hopefully we won't go extinct by 2200 and there will still be some of us left on this planet or another.

Life with a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can be extremely overwhelming and frustrating, but as a parent there is a lot you help reduce and manage the symptoms. You can help your child overcome daily challenges, positively channel his or her energy, and improve the family environment by creating a calm atmosphere. The sooner and more consistently you address your child’s symptoms, the greater chance they have to overcome the challenges presented by ADHD. Parenting any child is a difficult task to begin with, but when your child has ADHD/ADD you are parenting a child with greater demands, needs more involvement, and requires greater patience and understanding by the parent and the whole family. Especially with siblings of a child with ADHD, feelings of resentment by the child who requires less attention can make the task of parenting even more overwhelming. The job of parenting becomes increasingly difficult when one or both parents have either diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD. If a parent has undiagnosed can often lead to serious consequences in family life, such as a chaotic schedule, forgetting to pay bills and difficulty following through with treatment recommendations for themselves and/or their child. Also, if a parent has ADHD, that parent may also struggle being consistent with their child. Parenting skills will be affected by the parent’s own ADHD. Studies show that parents with ADHD tend to provide less supervision, have more difficulty keeping tabs on their children and knowing where they are, and are less adept at creative problem solving. If an issue or problem comes up, parents with ADHD tend to address it the same way again and again and struggle to flexible in their parenting approach. Helping your child with ADHD Children with ADHD in general have deficits in executive function. So the ability to think and plan ahead, organise, control impulses, and complete tasks for a child with ADHD is more difficult than for a child without ADHD. That means we need to provide extra guidance while your child gradually acquires his or her own executive skills. It is important to remember that despite the symptoms of ADHD being incredibly frustrating, your child is not choosing to act in such a way, and often the child is just as frustrated as you are. Children with ADHD want to be able to follow instruction, be organised, sit still in class, but simply do not know how to make this happen or understand why they are unable to do these things. If you support your child with compassion and patience, as a family you can manage to overcome the difficulties presented by ADHD and create a calm and happy home. ADHD and your family To successfully parent a child with ADHD it is fundamental to understand ADHD in general and the impact of your child’s symptoms on your family as a whole. Children with ADHD exhibit many behaviours that often unsettle family life: • They find organisation extremely difficult and are easily distracted and often start tasks and forget to finish them. • Bed time routines are especially difficult for children with ADHD due to the hyperactive element of it. • They can regularly not hear instructions and so simply do not obey them. • Children with ADHD struggle with impulsivity and often answer questions or interrupt conversations, demand attention and speak before they think. The impact of ADHD on parents The demands of monitoring a child with ADHD can be physically and mentally exhausting. Your child’s inability to “listen” can lead to frustration and that frustration to anger—followed by guilt about being angry at your child. Your child’s behaviour can make you anxious and stressed and if there’s a basic difference between your personality and that of your child with ADHD, his or her behaviour can be especially difficult to accept. Stay positive. A positive, calm and focused attitude is your best asset to help your child overcome the challenges of ADHD. Believe in your child. Despite often challenging you, try and remember your child’s positive values, and know that with your support you can work together to help your child overcome the challenges of ADHD. Remember to keep things in perspective. Remember that your child’s difficult behaviour is not intentional and is caused by the disorder rather than their character. Remember to laugh, what is annoying and embarrassing today might be funny in a couple of years time. As a parent of a child with ADHD/ADD it is often easier to criticise their behaviour, but this is counterproductive and as hard as it may be it is far more helpful to seek out and praise good behaviour instead of punishing or taking away things for bad behaviour. To do this you could: • Provide clear, consistent expectations, directions, and limits. Children with ADHD need to know exactly what is expected of them. • Setting up an effective discipline system for all children regardless of whether a child has ADHD or not. You may have to learn new discipline methods that reward appropriate behaviour and respond to misbehaviour with alternatives, such as time out or loss of privileges. • Creating a behaviour modification plan to change the most problematic behaviours. Behaviour charts that track your child’s chores or responsibilities and that offer potential rewards for positive behaviours can be helpful tools to systematically and effectively help parents address problems. More tips to help you keep you and your family happy, and to help your child stay organised and focused: For you: Take care of yourself so you’re better able to care for your child. To remain patient, calm and positive with your child, it is important to look after yourself. If you are overtired, you are less patient and accepting and it is easier to not follow your routine which is so important for a child with ADHD. Eat right and exercise, and find any other way which works for you to reduce stress, whether it means a nightly bath or practicing morning meditation. Seek support. Remember that your are not alone in raising a child with ADHD. Talk to your child’s doctor or teachers or join a support group for parents of children with ADHD. These groups are a great way to learn tips, share experiences and vent your feelings if you need to! Take a break. Ask a friend, family member, or child minder to look after your child for an afternoon so you can take a break to recharge. For your child: Establish structure and routine and try stick to it as much as possible. Predictable timetables, patterns and places make it is easier for children with ADHD to succeed in completing tasks. Establish and try to maintain simple and predictable rituals for meals, homework, play, and bed so your child knows what to expect and also what is expected of them. Use clocks and timers. Place clocks throughout your house, with one in your child’s bedroom. Use a timer for homework or transitional times, such between homework, playtime and getting ready for bed. Simplify your child’s schedule. It is good to avoid idle time, but a child with ADHD may become more distracted and “wound up” if there are too many after-school activities. You may need to make adjustments to the child’s after-school commitments based on the individual child’s abilities. Establish house rule. Make the rules of behaviour for the whole family. Rules should be explained clearly and it is extremely important to explain what will happen when the rules are obeyed and when they are broken. Write out the rules and hang this list next to the schedule, the penalty for breaking rules should be just and consistent. Make sure your directions are understood. Speak clearly and slowly in a calm voice, then ask your child to repeat the directions back to you. Keep them short and simple. Congratulate your child when he or she completes the task. Do your best to be neat and organised. Make sure your child knows that everything has its place and lead by example with neatness and organisation as much as possible. Use homework and notebook organisers. Stress the importance of having your child write down assignments and bring home the needed books. A checklist at the end of the day can be extremely helpful to make sure schoolbooks, lunch boxes, and jackets are brought home from school. Help with school activities. School mornings can be difficult for children with ADHD. Get ready the night before, lay out school clothes and get the book bag ready. Allow enough time for your child to get dressed and eat a good breakfast. Focus on effort, not grades. Reward your child when he tries to finish school work, not just for good grades. You can give extra rewards for earning better grades. ADHD Parenting Programme Why not take a look at our ADHD Parenting Programme?

Since the su(N) gauge part is often calculated using flows of colour\, it should si milarly be possible to describe the su(2) \\oplus su(2) kinematics of an a mplitude in terms of flows of chirality. In two recent papers (hep-ph:2003 .05877 & hep-ph:2011.10075) we showed that this is indeed the case\, intro ducing the chirality-flow formalism for Standard Model calculations. In th e chirality-flow method (which simplifies the spinor-helicity method) Feyn man diagrams can be directly written down in terms of Lorentz-invariant sp inor inner products\, allowing the simplest and most direct possible path from Feynman diagram to complex number. In this talk\, I will introduce th is method and show some examples.\n\n 255/ LOCATION: URL: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '5', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.7818686962127686}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '1753', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:55I2KXMHJWZ2VKURWUZDCZFOLYVZA5WF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f5da80ed-840b-4da7-a095-2fce627e8894>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 16, 22, 11, 30), 'WARC-IP-Address': '130.104.48.170', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/calendar', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WCNXWEDAMLSEUYRUFBC2GLZETWMKFAQ3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9d87ef12-f8ea-40b7-ac82-86788be20864>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://agenda.irmp.ucl.ac.be/event/4255/event.ics', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:528ae1fb-ab0e-4949-929b-8ce53616efa0>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '146', 'url': 'https://agenda.irmp.ucl.ac.be/event/4255/event.ics', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-21\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-223.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (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: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.18070518970489502', 'original_id': 'e48ab282c3e4c5e776ae60575fc420152cd544a046aa84c4becdfa7e7d36a5fd'}
Polyrhythmia: Turning movement into sound with GPS, iPhones and Arduino Small machines perch in the structure of the building, tapping out rhythms on pipes, beams, floors and walls. These machines are controlled by an iPhone app and as people travel around the city the speed of their movement brings the tapping machines to life, playing the infrastructure of the building. As they navigate the city they pay attention to their speed of travel and imagine their movement calling out a tapped rhythm in the gallery, its sonic voice contributing to this temporal symphony of the city. Polyrhythmia is an installation by Jen Southern, created through a Sound and Music Embedded residency at the Pervasive Media Studio. Visitors see little machines tapping out sounds. Each machine is tied to the movement of a participant travelling around the city, carrying a mobile phone that turns their motion into sound. The Polyrhythmia system is split into two main parts: a mobile app and a physical machine. The mobile app is built using the AppFurnace framework and runs on an iPhone. It turns GPS data into sound played on headphones for the person carrying it. It also sends the GPS data back to the gallery. In the gallery the second part of the installation, the physical machines, receive the GPS data and turn it into tapping sounds by striking objects. These tapping machines use an ethernet Arduino to receive and process the data. A small Sinatra web app sits between the mobile app and the physical tapping machines to handle message passing. Mobile App To turn GPS data into sound we used a mobile phone instead of building our own hardware. The first version was built using PhoneGap for Android handsets. This let us iterate and test quicker than building a native application. It became apparent this was not a good solution. The GPS on our Samsung handsets was inaccurate and slow to update location. We could not find reliable reviews of GPS accuracy across Android handsets or listings of which handsets used which GPS chipsets. In addition the audio playback capabilities were problematic. We needed to play multiple audio tracks at the same time. PhoneGap on Android had a low limit of how many tracks would play simultaneously. It’s not possible to know how many tracks can be played at a time until you try to exceed the limit. The upper limit would also fluctuate. When the OS was told to play an audio clip there would be a delay of up to a second before the clip played. This latency was not consistent. To fix this we ported the app from PhoneGap on Android to AppFurnace on iPhone. AppFurnace originated as a framework for geolocated audio and as a result the audio and geolocation libraries within it are very reliable. The porting process took half a day, as both frameworks use javascript and have similar library calls. We had no further problems with audio or geolocation accuracy following the port. Developing the app was slower than writing a web app due to the testing process. With each iteration of the geolocation code I would have to go outside to walk and run to see how it was performing. I do not recommend developing GPS software during the British winter. Physical Machines The physical tapping units are quite simple machines, comprised of an ethernet Arduino and a servo. The servo percusses a stick against an object to make sound. The arduino receives GPS information from the mobile app and triggers the servo based on the movement speed of the participant. The most time consuming part of constructing the machines is making the casing, particularly the hand filing of square holes for the ethernet socket. As Tom Armitage points out, things aren’t finished until they have a box. The physical machines and the mobile app are bridged by a small Ruby web server written using Sinatra. Mobile devices pass GPS information to it which it stores until polled for the information by the physical machines. An admin interface allows choosing which phone is paired to which machine. Polyrhythmia has since been shown as part of the Differential Mobilities conference in Montreal and in Lancaster’s Peter Scott Gallery. To find out more see Jen Southern’s final report on her residency.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9533419609069824}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '18481', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:AX3HRRRL3SSMYRNJWXYPDJGVWPRQAVMX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c9058649-4c76-42b0-b6ab-9a67869371bc>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 20, 16, 16, 22), 'WARC-IP-Address': '185.80.133.137', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7XFAZFL6XGRU2GRY4G3QHU4JMNPLIIMB', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:87c52d61-bf20-488c-add4-433e17c91b8b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://blogs.wcode.org/2013/09/polyrhythmia-turning-movement-into-sound-with-gps-iphones-and-arduino/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:bfa50cb8-f396-47b3-a894-588205e5714c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '717', 'url': 'https://blogs.wcode.org/2013/09/polyrhythmia-turning-movement-into-sound-with-gps-iphones-and-arduino/', '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-10-97-181-44.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': '0.1343265175819397', 'original_id': '9f9eced6ac03eee2ecbb18be0db84573b8bbd718297e04d887e46dc1517cdd43'}
Coronavirus: Information for international students In order to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal was switched to "regular operations under special conditions". You can reach us via e-mail and phone, but we ask for your understanding that there may be restrictions in the operation of the university. On this website you will find the latest news and information. Notice that new information will always be written in italics, as of May 25 2020! Studying and teaching in the summer semester 2020 Are you wondering what is going on with your studies or worry about the future? "We share your concern and support you as a university community", said Vice-Rector for academic and international affairs Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yongjian Ding in a video message. Important Dates "Regular operation under special conditions" will start on 20.4.2020. Teaching takes place online and will run according to a coordinated timetable specific to the course of study. As an exception, attendance events such as laboratory internships will be possible again from 11 May. Which courses take place on the campus will be decided by the departments together with the university administration. In addition, selected rooms will be opened as workspaces for students from 11 May (details see box workspaces). The libraries will open at both locations from 11 May 2020 with initially limited use. (details see box library) Covid-19 Instructions on Behavior Students who show acute respiratory symptoms or who have come to Germany from a risk area according to the Robert Koch Institute (https://www.rki.de/EN/Home/homepage_node.html) or whose return is imminent, or who have had contact with infected persons are instructed / obliged to: contact a general practitioner or the public health department in your area via telephone (do not go directly into the office if you think you are affected by the corona virus, the doctor or the health department will tell you what to do): contact the Department of Study and International Affairs via e-mail or phone (+49 (0)391 886 4119) in order to coordinate the further procedure, to organize the suspension and postponement of the return, if necessary, so that unbureaucratic solutions can be found without discrimination for the studies, and put yourself in quarantine for two weeks. What to do in case of justified suspicion and symptoms of illness? e.g.: with high fever or a pronounced deterioration of the general condition, a medical examination should be performed immediately. A contact point in emergencies is the central emergency department (Notaufnahme) of the hospital (Universitätsklinikum Magdeburg) in serious cases. Please note that a large number of patients are treated in the central emergency room, which results in long waiting times. It is therefore absolutely necessary to register by telephone first (0049 (0) 391 67 21202) in the Central Emergency Room in case of suspected infection. Hotline for suspected cases of coronavirus The university hospital (Universitätsklinikum Magdeburg) has also set up a hotline for suspected cases of coronavirus: 0049 (0) 391 67 17799, which is available from Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 16.00 pm. In case of slight symptoms of illness and justified suspicion, clarification should be made by their infectiological outpatient department. You can get an individual initial consultation and further information in German and English. This hotline is intended for people who suffer from corona typical symptoms, not for general advice.

Breskens, Sluis udalerria osatzen duten herrietako bat da. Udalerriaren ipar-mendebaldean dago Westerschelde ibaiaren ondoan. Urtero milaka turistek bisitatzen dute, gehienak Herbehereak eta Alemaniatik etorriak. 2010eko urte hasierako erroldaren arabera, herriak 4.787 biztanle zituen. Herria 1510ean sortu zen, eta 1970era arte udalerri independentea izan zen. Urte hartan Oostburgek anexionatu zuen (gaur egun Sluisko herririk handiena denak), eta azkenik 2003an Oostburg eta Sluis batu ziren. Inguru naturala eta kokapena Breskens herri txikia izan arren, Sluis udalerriko herririk handienetakoa da (ia 5.000 biztanle ditu). Herbehereetako herrien ezaugarriak ditu, solairu bat edo biko etxebizitza eraikinak, atzealdean lorategiarekin, kale zabalak eta bidegorriak. Herri turistikoa denez, bi zati banatzen dira. Herriaren mendebaldean, udarako etxeak, kanping-ak eta aisialdirako guneak dauden bitartean, ekialde osoan, portua eta herriaren erdigunea kokatzen dira. Historia 1944an Bigarren Mundu Gerran ejerzito aliatuak gogor bonbardatu zuen herria, Alemaniak Vlissingenera atzera egitea eragozteko eta aliatuek Antwerpengo portua erabili ahal izateko estrategia jarraituz. Bonbardaketan herri gehiena suntsituta geratu zen eta 183 pertsona hil ziren. Gaur egungo Breskens, gerra ondoren eraikitako etxe eta eraikinek osatzen dute. Arrantza portu garrantzitsua izan zen gerra osteko urteetan, baina 1980ko hamarkadako krisialdiaren ondoren, herrian turismoarekin zerikusia duten enpresak sortu dira, hotelak, kirol-portua eta abar. Ekonomia Historikoki arrantza eta nekazaritza izan dira herriko iharduera ekonomiko nagusiak, baina XX. mendean gauzak aldatu egin ziren. Vlissingen eta Terneuzengo portuen garatzea, eta Antwerpengo portutik hain hurbil egoteak, industria garatu dute herrian. Westerschelde ibaiaren ondoan itsasontzi txikiek altzairu produktuak garraiatzeko erabiltzen duten portua eraiki da. Horrez gain, herriaren ekialdean, Terneuzenera doan errepidearen ondoan, Deltahoek izeneko industrialdea dago. Deltahoek Breskens eta Terneuzen arteko errepidearen ondoan kokatua, Deltahoek herriko industrialde nagusia da, bertan itsasontzi konponketa eta garraio enpresa desberdinak daude. Etorkizunean industrialdea hego-ekialderantz handitzea aurrikusi da. Garraiobideak 2003an jarri zuen martxan Veolia enpresa frantziarrak eta Zeelandako bi herri horiek batzen ditu. Aurretik bi herriak batzen zituen ferry zerbitzuak autoak garraiatzen zituen arren 2003an bidesaridun Westerschelde tunela zabaldu zenetik, tunela erabili behar dute autoek. Ferryak, joaneko, joan-etorriko, asteko, hilabeteko edo urteroko bidaitxartelak eskaintzen ditu, ikasle eta bizikleta erabiltzaileei prezio bereziak eskainiz.

Flash, vol. 4: Blitz Just a few years ago, superheroes existed in a world that was very distant from ours. The problems they faced on a daily basis (alien menaces or villains with futuristic technology) were not really seen in the adult world. Newspapers and television brings us scores of tragedies and a superhero’s adventures were an escape from those problems. However, comic book writers are exploring some of these tragedies, pondering how a hero who can break the sound barrier can still become helpless in certain situations without the use of predetermined weaknesses like Kryptonite. Geoff Johns’ writing for Flash is some of the best in comics today and Flash Vol. 4: Blitz shows the layers and humanity of the fastest man alive. The Flash is a man who runs fast, fast enough to travel the world in seconds or vibrate his own molecules so he can pass through objects. He’s fast enough to seemingly do many things at once, but he is not fast enough to stop a friend’s life from being ruined nor is he fast enough to keep that friend from attacking all that the Flash holds dear. The focus of this arc of the Flash comics involves Flash’s battle with Zoom. Once a bizarre parody of Flash from the future, this new Zoom can move faster than the Flash and knows how to strike at the hero through where he’s most vulnerable: through his family. Johns has created one of the most complex and fascinating villains in Zoom. Though he feels his life has been left in shambles because of the Flash’s unwillingness to help, he has become a villain and attacked his family not out of revenge but rather the twisted desire to see the Flash become a better hero. The idea of a villain that sees himself as a barrier a hero must overcome shows how willing Johns is to take risks. There’s nothing more twisted than a villain who believes his evil deeds have noble intentions behind them. Scott Kolins’ gritty yet detailed art shows Flash’s and Zoom’s expressions as they deal with the pain in their lives and their inevitable confrontation. His art has enough frenetic action and details to suit a title where men move faster than the speed of light. Unlike some of the collections of Flash, this volume shows a more coherent storyline, focusing on the creation of and battle with Zoom. This story, librarians should note, shows a maturity in its storytelling, dealing more with the real consequences of superheroes trying to balance their evil battling and real lives with families and friends. Older teens and adults will enjoy this title s blend of fast-paced action and heart-wrenching pathos as the Flash’s heroic obligations and family life collide.

A tough act to follow He never honked his horn even if I still had my teeth to brush and my homework to gather and one of my gym shoes to track down. Frank Stucker, an English teacher and then the dean of boys at Kokomo High School, always had a smile on his face and warmth in his greeting when I would hop into the shotgun seat of his car at 6:25 every school day morning. All through my high school years, Frank was my early-morning ride. Longtime friends of my parents, Frank and Phyllis Stucker lived around the curve from us with their son, Ricke. When they moved into our neighborhood, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Ricke, two years older, became my running partner, and Phyllis, a grade school teacher like my mom, always was a hoot to be around. But it was Frank, with his gentle and caring ways, who had such an impact on me during my formative years. My parents always were great, but Frank may have filled in some of the cracks that all childhoods have in the nurturing process. I hope and pray that every kid out there has some guardian angel like Frank Stucker -- or Mr. Stucker to me in the high school hallways. Frank died on Saturday at the age of 79, a victim of the cruel disease Alzheimer's that robs even the best of people of their dignity and memories. But if Frank could no longer remember the people he boosted and built up over the years, they certainly remembered him. And, of course, I am one of those. He loved riding motorcycles to far-off places where he always made friends. He also loved tinkering with automobiles, and he never drove past anyone on the side of the road who had a thumb out or a hood up. More than once, Frank left his easy chair in the evening to help out me or my younger brother when our cars broke down. He would brave all kinds of weather to click a stopwatch for his son, Ricke, and me during our running workouts. He took me to sporting events all over the state. He could even make me forget sometimes what a scrawny, self-conscious kid I was. He also showed me how easy -- and enjoyable -- it could be to talk to a stranger. To this day, I am sure that a lot of my interviewing skills as a journalist come from watching Frank have lively conversations with others and and showing a genuine interest in their lives. Even in the early morning hours during our 15-minute drive to school, he always wanted to talk about sports and my studies and what else was on my mind while we listened to his country music and waited for his heater to warm up. And when my dad got sick with his cancer, he stepped up and did even more for me and my siblings. A family couldn't ask for a better friend than Frank Stucker. His wife, Phyllis, was always Phizz to him and she called him Finnegan in return. As a kid, I loved that a middle-aged couple had nicknames for each other -- and maybe that's why I have a history of handing them out, too. Frank also could whistle like nobody's business. My dad had the same knack. I could be a quarter-mile away and be able to tell if it was Frank or Dad telling me to head their way. Who would have needed cell phones back then with those kinds of in-network signals? Frank's family and friends buried him on Wednesday -- the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I guess there was some irony in that because Frank became a Marine after his high school graduation and served in the Pacific at the end of the war. And, yeah, he could act like a tough Marine when the situation warranted. But I would venture that even the kids he had to discipline or even kick out of school still respected and liked him. Nobody in their right mind could dislike Frank Stucker. And none of us who followed his example would ever be quite as kind or as virtuous as he was, either. But isn't it great that he made us want to try?Bill Moor's column appears on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The mainland United States of America (USA), containing over four million miles of road, is the ideal destination for a long-distance road trip. Sufficient planning, however, will be required for those who want to enjoy their time behind the wheel and who wish for their holiday to be memorable for all the right reasons. It is essential, after choosing a starting point and a destination, to decide upon which route to take before embarking on a car journey across continental America. Choosing a vehicle with a reliable engine, good fuel economy and plentiful storage space is essential for a successful long-distance car journey. Holidaymakers, having decided what route they want to take on their road trip across the USA, should stock up on provisions and will need a sufficient amount of money to buy enough food and fuel to complete the journey. Route 66, the most famous road in the world that starts in Illinois and ends in California, has been decommissioned as a highway but still draws motoring enthusiasts in their droves. Those who wish to travel the length of Route 66, however, should know that the diversion of traffic to new roads has resulted in a number of motels and gas-stations along the route going out of business. Those driving through the state of Nevada should visit Las Vegas, situated in the Mojave Desert, which is famous for its entertainment and hospitality industries. Fresh water, piped into the city from wells, turned the settlement into an oasis town and the population began to grow when the first gambling houses and entertainment centres were established. Those gambling houses, benefiting from the steady stream of capital flowing into the city, evolved into casinos and tourists came from far and wide to patronise these establishments. Persons wishing to play poker in Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, should visit Poker Travel to learn the proper etiquette surrounding the game.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9686456322669984}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '23026', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:PUPDMZZ7LB2F5EOIB23ZRVOGG6LNEQJW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6cc66705-8801-4eeb-83c6-38084ec9ee24>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 22, 10, 14, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.210.45.74', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ALFIY3LBCDLZZCWWHJ7REYMYNYBBMQT5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:4e3573a9-8df2-4ac7-b135-679d763ee8af>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://modelgarage.co.uk/the-perfect-road-trip-across-usa/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:4e55c1f0-0044-4b7a-9970-177cfb9e2a5a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '318', 'url': 'http://modelgarage.co.uk/the-perfect-road-trip-across-usa/', '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-10-136-233-116.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': '0.0478023886680603', 'original_id': 'bda5494a50cb65ddf72880a517d0ad0677c4ca91a4c24eb921ea8b5c8c7377ba'}
Go to Greg I used my corporate card for a personal expense with every intention of paying for it personally, which I did. But when the company noticed the charge, and I explained I already paid AmEx directly and never filed it on my expense report, they said if I ever did that again, they would fire me. I know people who run up expenses like they are on vacation, and they aren’t reprimanded. What are your thoughts? The card does say “corporate” card . . . not personal. That said, a final warning for a first occurrence of the scenario you describe, if accurate, does sound a little extreme. If there is a rare circumstance where you need to use the card for a personal expense, seek approval beforehand with an explanation, and clarify you will pay the cost directly to AmEx so the company won’t even have to be reimbursed. As for the others with profligate expense reporting, those “Mad Men” days are long gone, and it will catch up with them. I am part of a small management team whose members report to the same boss. Our boss is asking me to do certain things confidentially, without seeking my peers’ input, which is causing a rift with my colleagues when they’re brought into the loop. How do you handle such a situation? Unless your boss is playing games and pitting the staff against each other, he probably has a reason for asking you to do certain things without their knowledge. It could be a compliment to you and a commentary on how the boss feels about them. But instead of guessing, just ask. Explain the situation to your boss in a way that is thoughtful and constructive — and don’t say you object. As for your peers, make sure you don’t act like the teacher’s pet. Explain you are just following your boss’ directions, not trying to elbow to the front of the class. If they have a problem with how the boss is managing the team, they should discuss it with him, not take it out on you.

1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cigar product, and more particularly to a bi-directional multiple-layer pull-in cigar holder. 2. Description of the Prior Art Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional cigar holder 10 comprises a first tube 11 and a second tube 12 that are mounted on both ends of a receiving tube 13. The first tube 11 and the second tube 12 can extend and retract relative to the receiving tube 13. Each of two opposite ends of the receiving tube 13 is provided with an engaging portion 14 consisting of two half-circle plate 141. Each of the half-circle plates 141 is formed on an inner surface thereof with a protrusion 142 to be engaged in a through hole in the receiving tube 13. Each of the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 is provided with a bushing ring 15 at an end thereof for limiting the disengagement of the respective tubes 11, 12. However, the respective half-circle plates 141 of the engaging portion 14 are difficult to assemble, thus increasing the assembly time as well as the production cost. Additionally, since the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 are mounted on the receiving tube 13, there are seams on the cigar holder 10, which will affect the appearance integrity of the cigar holder. The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '3a41d029365cdf96d5015202f54b9bd5c76a11b3155b8cc10632837a3876717b'}
Q: Javascript: How to get .tgz MIME type from HTML file input? I am able to get most file MIME types by checking the file in a HTML file element, however when choosing a .tgz file I do not get a type. Here is a jsfiddle showing the file type when a file is selected from the HTML file input: http://jsfiddle.net/chrisabrams/cTJKf/ A: According to the spec it's up to the browser to attempt to determine the content-type and if it fails, it should return an empty string. type The ASCII-encoded string in lower case representing the media type of the Blob, expressed as an RFC2046 MIME type [RFC2046]. On getting, conforming user agents MUST return the MIME type of the Blob, if it is known. If conforming user agents cannot determine the media type of the Blob, they MUST return the empty string. A string is a valid MIME type if it matches the media-type token defined in section 3.7 "Media Types" of RFC 2616 [HTTP]. So whatever browser you're using doesn't recognise what a .tgz file is - this could vary both per-browser and also per-operating-system however. I'm using Opera on Linux and it recognises .tgz but - for example - doesn't recognise .xcf	mini_pile	{'original_id': '564a13bdfad3d4d77ac8af2a295ecdb308154ca2523aed2b6a5bedd1f8ccfd47'}

Many a pop-music controversy has been caused by the question of whether the name on the package is a statement of creative ownership or a convenient fiction of marketing. What input does Beyoncé have into "her" music? For that matter, what input did Led Zeppelin have into "their" music? Are they geniuses shaping their own personal statements? Or are they just brands to put on anonymous product? These questions form the context for singer Sinead O'Connor's recent open letter to Miley Cyrus. O'Connor is warning Cyrus about using her body and sexuality to sell records. But the background assumption is that Cyrus isn't fully in control of her music, or, at the very least, that Miley Cyrus the naked, tongue-wagging meme will erase Miley Cyrus the artist. As singer Amanda Palmer wrote, telling Cyrus "that her team is to blame is telling her that she's not steering her own career and decisions." Palmer points out that Cyrus is likely to feel "patronized"—which, given Cyrus's aggressive response to O'Connor's advice, appears to have been the case. Pop musicians get patronized this way pretty often; in other realms of entertainment, the corporate and the personal coexist happily enough, and no one seems too disturbed. Why is that? After all, if you're willing to condemn pop music for being generated by roomfuls of anonymous suits, it seems like Hollywood should come in for similar ire. Yet even the slickest producers of corporate product—your Steven Spielbergs and Michael Bays—are treated as auteurs responsible for the films with their names on them, no matter how lousy those movies may be. Similarly, Jeff Koons doesn't actually make the art sold under his name. But at worst he's seen as a canny scam-artist, not a pimped-out product himself. It's worth thinking a little more about Koons, because his art is not just made by people who are anonymous to the public, but actually is about its own anonymity. In "Hulk (Wheelbarrow)" for example, Koons (or rather, Koons's hired workers) created a bronze statue painted to look exactly like a blow-up inflatable. In other words, a mass-produced statue is virtuosically made to look like a mass-produced piece of plastic crap. Koons is reminding us that someone's genius and heart went into all those supposedly soulless products, yes, even into the twerking Miley and the inflatable Hulk. He's calling attention to the artifice not to malign it but to point out that it, too, is art. For that matter, the Hulk himself seems to be involved in the marketing, pushing his wheel-barrow and bellowing to you all to come get those real, fresh flowers—authentic beauty you can buy. Pop stars often play with their own artificiality too. In this image for a Pepsi ad, for example, Beyoncé presents herself as multiple Beyoncé's—a reproducible product complete with ostentatiously fake blonde wig and mugging facial expressions. She's miming a commodified femininity, and comes across as if she's imitating a drag-queen imitating Beyoncé. The sexiness and energy of the advertisement is partly in its refusal to be pinned down in a single identity; the openness with which it presents Beyoncé as a diffuse collective pretending to be Beyoncé. It's not just that she's in control of reinventing herself (who knows who came up with the idea for that photo shoot?). It's that she gets to be not just one, but four; her image is insistently commodified and reproduced as if she's in an Andy Warhol painting. Integrity and genius and authenticity: They're a bore, as O'Connor's earnest, hectoring letter shows all too clearly. To criticize pop stars for not being in sole charge of their work, then, seems like it elaborately misses the point. The joy of being a pop star is that you don't need to be authentic or individual; you can be everyone and no one. That's why so many stars turn their names into one-word brands, or why the most iconic pop stars, like David Bowie or Madonna or Michael Jackson, are so often obsessed with personal reinvention and transformation. It's why Miley is such a media firestorm. Anybody could twerk and stick their tongue out. It's going from good girl child star to twerking and sticking her tongue out that made Miley's performance apocalyptically famous—as SNL captured this weekend in a skit involving the-real-Miley-as-new-Miley meeting old Vanessa Bayer-as-old-Miley and both unconvincingly spouting dialogue written by who knows who exactly. Nor is it an accident that Miley has made that transition in part by surrounding herself with African-American dancers—positioning herself in the center of a new team and a new milieu. If artistic identity is crowd-sourced, all you need to do is change your crowd to be a new person. That's not exactly to say that O'Connor is wrong, though. Losing yourself can be delirious abandon or (as with Koons) goofy silliness, but it can also lead less pleasant places. As O'Connor's letter points out, making yourself into a commodity can give other folks the opportunity to sell you out, especially in a society where women's bodies tend to be automatically viewed as commodities. In addition, as a number of commenters have said, Cyrus's twerking and her use of African-American dancers tends to present "blackness" as something she can consume in order to make herself sexier, cooler, and more free. You could argue that Led Zeppelin, while not exactly pop in this sense, was doing something similar when they took a bunch of songs by black (and white) performers, put them on their albums, and took credit for writing them. When an artform constantly challenges the idea of there even being “real” selves, it seems, it becomes difficult to treat other people with respect. Pop doesn't have to be exploitive, though. Someone could have put a bit more thought into Miley's transition and come up with something that didn't involve treating black women as sexualized props. It's in the nature of pop, though, that who that "someone" would have been is unclear. The fun of ever-swapping identities is achieved, in part, by the uncertainty about who is producer and who is product. In warning Cyrus not to lose herself O'Connor overlooks the fact that Cyrus is devoting all her energy and effort to doing just that.

One-electron reduction of hepatic NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase as studied by pulse radiolysis. The reduction of flavin in hepatic NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase by the hydrated electron (eaq-) was investigated by pulse radiolysis. The eaq- reduced the flavin of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase to form the red semiquinone between pH 5 and 9. The spectrum of the red semiquinone differs from that of enzyme reduced by dithionite in the presence of NAD+. After the first phase of the reduction, conversion of the red to blue semiquinone was observed at acidic pH. Resulting products are the blue (neutral) or red (anionic) semiquinone or a mixture of the two forms. The pK value for this flavin radical was approximately 6.3. Subsequently, the semiquinone form reacted by dismutation to form the oxidized and the fully reduced forms of the enzyme with a rate constant of 1 x 10(3) M-1 s-1 at pH 7.1. In the presence of NAD+, eaq- reacted with NAD+ to yield NAD(.). Subsequently, NAD. transferred an electron to NAD+-bound oxidized enzyme to form the blue and red semiquinone or mixture of the two forms of the enzyme, where pK value of this flavin radical was approximately 6.3. The blue semiquinone obtained at acidic pH was found to convert to the red semiquinone with a first order rate constant of 90 s-1, where the rates were not affected by pH or the concentration of NAD+. The final product is NAD+-bound red semiquinone of the enzyme.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '8d79c86ec449fba214459e58823af08f4be0ed81f4eb6a2db00d1feef5d13969'}
Santa Fe Hills Blog Photos (26 of 30)Every family always stresses the need for a comfortable home in a good community. But what exactly is a “good” community? Its definitely a matter of personal preference, however the generic “good neighborhood” is what most individuals seek. Flash back to the times where you would go to your neighbors for a cup of sugar, or have community potlucks where the children could play and the adults could socialize. Many of us still long for that sense of community and those friendships with our neighbors, after all we live within a few hundred yards of each other right? Nestled in the beautiful San Marcos, CA is a community called Santa Fe Hills, who’s mission is to recreate all of the things stated above. They put such a strong emphasis on building solid, foundational relationships with your neighbors. Just North of the 78 highway, Santa Fe Hills contains about 1,800 homes that were built in the 1990’s-2000’s. This community has direct access to many parks that are used for recreational and social events. Santa Fe Hills also has access to numerous California Distinguished schools including Paloma Elementary and Mission Hills High School. Palomar College and California State University San Marcos are also nearby for those going into college. Overall, Santa Fe Hills couldn’t get much better with the community involvement, high ranked schools, and picturesque homes, parks and trails. How, might you ask, does a neighborhood invest so much in their community relationships? The answer lies in the people that live there who host special events. A few years ago, a handful of Santa Fe Hills neighbors came together and started a monthly potluck. They would send out flyers to those in the community, and would host them at a different Santa Fe Hills park each month. The popularity of these potlucks grew, especially with new neighbors who recently moved in. Not only did it increase the overall appeal of the community, but this sense of closeness with the neighbors increased the property value of the homes. In an article written about Santa Fe Hills, the author claims that: “There are plenty more benefits to close neighborhoods, including: Shared clout to resist bad development and encourage beneficial projects; A rich social life and ready friendships; a feeling of connection and belonging; Advocacy and support for strong neighborhood schools; Kid-friendly streets and parks; Cooperative gardens and pea patches; Help with your home-repair projects.” In order to maintain these benefits, a community organization called Next-door™ Santa Fe Hills has taken off with over 1,000 members already joined. The purpose of this organization is to maintain a social network and let all the residents within the community all the happenings of Santa Fe Hills. They organize different community events, including a Q&A meetings, “Night Out” events, Home for Heroes, etc. With all the fun events going on in this area, why wouldn’t you want to be involved? Santa Fe Hills is the perfect place for those who yearn to be a part of an engaging and upbeat community. Oops! We could not locate your form.

Método de Mohr ou titulação de Mohr é um processo de deteção do ponto de final numa volumetria de precipitação desenvolvido pelo químico Karl Friedrich Mohr, daí o nome. Essa titulação exige o cuidado de manter o pH na faixa de 6,5 a 10,5 pois: Se o meio estiver ácido (pH abaixo de 6,5), o cromato de potássio não vai reagir com Ag+ e precipitar pois o seu equilíbrio será deslocado no sentido de formar dicromato solúvel. Como conseqüência, não será possível observar o ponto final da titulação. Adiciona-se, então, CaCO3(s) ao erlenmeyer para impedir que o pH fique abaixo de 6,5 durante a titulação. Se o meio estiver básico (pH acima de 10,5), a prata precipita como hidróxido. No preparo da solução padrão de AgNO3(aq), adiciona-se pequena quantidade de HNO3. O método baseia-se na formação de um segundo precipitado que inclua o titulante, de cor diferente do primeiro, durante uma titulação. A aplicação mais comum é na titulação do íon cloreto (Cl–) com o íon prata (Ag+), sendo o indicador um precipitado vermelho de cromato de prata (Ag2CrO4).

Escrow: Vermouth Cocktail with Grapefruit Tuesday, April 16, 2013 6. The loan officer is says you have to fix these problems before closing escrow. Okay! 7. HUD will not allow you to fix anything before closing. It is government policy. Uh... so... okay. 8. Uh-oh! The loan company says tough shit. You try to get them to talk to each other, but you have a better chance of immaculately conceiving and birthing a neon green giraffe. Neither will budge. 9. Have a drink! 10: Holy crap, you now have to find a brand new loan company to move forward. 11. You need an extension from HUD. Break out that checkbook because an extension will cost you $375 plus an additional $25 a day. You have never written so many checks before. How exciting! 12. Drink again like there's a winning lotto ticket at the bottom of the glass to cover all these checks. 13. The new loan company needs all of your information. Repeat step 1 and probably step 2. 14. Oh my poorly stucco'ed hell, you need new documents because half of them are outdated by two months. Get to scanning and faxing all over again. 15. You now have to pay for a new appraisal because the government said that using the same appraisal from a licensed appraiser for a new loan company could encourage fraud, completely nullifying part of the purpose of licensing them to begin with. Another check written. Thanks, government, for making this so much easier! 16. Drink. Drink because it makes the pain go away. 17. Write another check. Who knows what for? Your agent said you need to, so, whatever. 18. Drink more. Blackout. Drink again. 19. What happened? You need to buy a dishwasher to install to have a complete kitchen so pass the loan company's muster? Why? You're demo'ing the kitchen anyways! It's just going to get uninstalled! Plus, you have no idea how to shop for appliances because you can't try them out and the reviews online aren't that helpful. The loan company says it must be done TODAY. Don't make me cut you, you bitches! 20. Cut a bitch. 21. Cut all the bitches. 22. Drink. Hide the shiv. No one must know. So what to drink during all this mess? I highly encourage this little cocktail I learned about during a panel about vermouth I attended at this year's IACP. It's just one part dry vermouth, one part dry sherry, a shake of orange bitters, and a twist of grapefruit. It is a drink that is not just sophisticated, but also tastes like Tallulah Bankhead swaggered up next to you and kissed you on the mouth - uplifting, dry, and so damn charming. If you could live in Orange County and be so rich you could totally evade taxes legally and give that whole experience a taste: this would be it. Very privileged in flavor. Absurdly so. 1. Try buying a house in another country (ok, it's Canada, but still... another country) where the lawyer from step whatever uses the "F" word because of a mistake you made. A Sidecar is the only cure. If you are ever in Banff the Sidecar at the Fairmont will cure whatever ails you. 2. Yeah. Buying a home sucks. But when you are done, it will be worth it. Just smile and nod. And at the end of the day have a drink. 3. Well. That's messed up. If it makes you feel any better, I was so stressed and frustrated about buying our home. And then we got the keys yesterday. Husband and I proceeded to have a dance party in our bare living room that we'll probably furnish with our camp chairs until we can afford something better...but we don't even care because it's OURS. 4. Buying a home made me want to tear out all my hair. I would have much rather had one (or twenty) of these cocktails. I once had the seller's agent call and literally scream at me for having the audacity to go out and buy a new car. My truck had died - could not be resuscitated dead - and I knew I had to get something cheap in order to get back and forth to work (as I had a 30 mile commute into the city), so I bought a Neon. I told him in very small words that I didn't have a job if I couldn't get there, and I certainly wasn't buying the house if I didn't have a job. 1. Yeah, I got lectured for a new laptop to replace the busted one. =P 2. UGH. I totally feel your pain. 5. If nothing else, this makes me feel a teensy tiny bit better knowing that we're not the only ones dealing with house selling or buying insanity. Every time my cell rings, my stomach drops into my feet. The worst kind of Pavlovian response. I may begin to drink when it rings from now on... 1. I am sure I will drive my agent to suicide. ;) 6. And even if the home inspector doesn't find it, five years later you will discover terrifying mold in your basement and a crumbling foundation anyway. YAY. YAY HURRICANES. Good thing the basement is where you keep all the beer. 1. Thank god we don't have basements in California. 7. Wait - you have to buy a dishwasher? I guess I can see if it was the stove that was missing, but many kitchens down't have dishwashers.... Also, at least in Texas and Iowa (the two states where I have bought), there are lots of houses sold without all the appliances -- especially in Texas, where the fridge is ALWAYS missing, no matter whether the house is new or old, or HUD or anything else. Also, my loan officer this last time went on vacation just as some of my paperwork was due, and her replacement totally screwed things up. It delayed my closing by at least 3 weeks. I figure I was lucky they didn't just sell it to someone else... 8. I always say....Can there BE enough alcohol?!! Thanks for my LOL moment this are a riot. Love, love, love your blog. My daughter is currently buying her first home so if misery loves company, I think you have lots! 9. Can you put a dishwasher in my house too? I've lived here for 17 years and don't have one (except for my husband's and my two hands). 10. Garrtet, this saga of no and drink continues until you close the house. When we close the house, title company make us wait for almost 3 hours and finally then they called in to sign it was around 6.00 Clock. They told us no we can't give you key as it is after 5.0 clock, you can get the key tomorrow by 10. 30. I told my husband, okay if they are not giving me the key even after paying all the down payment, I don't care. I am not going to sign it. Until they give me the key. Hubby was got so upset and ready to sign, but I was not. Finally they called our house agent and made arrange key at the same evening. Then only I signed. So don't worry, you are going to see more and more until the house is closed and you get the key. 11. Amazing what a nightmare experience home-buying is, isn't it? My husband and I bought ours last year and since it was a short sale, we also had to get the approval of the seller's bank (I think the process from when we first saw the house and made an offer to getting the keys took just over five months -- five very tiring months). It was such a trial going through the process of our offer being approved before even getting to escrow then all the usual inspections and not-usual-liens and such and still not knowing how things were going to work out (when all that was left was for the sellers to sign the paperwork, we learned they left the country for a week or so -- right before escrow was supposed to close so we were afraid, with all the other problems we'd encountered because of them, that they were never going to return and we'd lose everything we'd spent to get to that point, which is money we couldn't afford to lose). We decided, if the sale fell through, we would wait a few years before looking for a house again because the process just sucked the life right out of us for several months. The only couple I know who didn't go through this nightmare paid all cash for their home and changed hands one week after making their offer (then learned they had a grading issue after the first hard rain). Still, we were happy to get our house, even with the oven that hadn't worked in the 20 years the previous owners owned the house, the proximity to the freeway (right behind our house), the really really weird interior paint colors (we have a purple & brown room, a black & red room we think of our "Les Miserables" room, a paprika-colored kitchen & dining area and cinnamon-colored library). I see great promise (starting with having gotten a free double-oven via Freecycle while we were in escrow so we ripped that non-working 50-year old tiny little oven right out). 12. That settles it - I'm forever living in Tobbit, the VW Rabbit Truck. 13. Bit messed up. Still laughed. 1. And no on will judge you for it.

The vacuum is really powerful and when you have it on the deep pile carpet setting you actually feel it sucking up the carpet!! The tools on the vacuum come with a variety of heads and brushes which are effective for cleaning the stairs and smaller areas of the house. The various heads and brushes for the tools also all clip in to designated spots on the back of the vacuum which is nice as it means they are always accessible and won't get lost. One thing I don't understand is that the vacuum has a light on the front.... hmm... not sure why we need that but even so. Emptying the cleaner is a little tricky. As there isn't a bag, the plastic compartment unclips and you then twist the lid to open it up so you can empty it. That bit is easy enough, but clipping it BACK into place is a little tricky and takes a bit of getting used to. In addition this is really quite a heavy cleaner and lugging it up and down the stairs is quite hard. Also I would have liked a retractable chord on this too it can understand that this might not be possible as it is quite a long chord Login or register to add comments • Product Details The V-008 is a Upright vacuum with 1900 watts power / Short name: Vax V-008	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '16', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9658638834953308}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '69785', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:T4H3MGH34O42E7MD5ZFKLZUKFKE7MKPL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:553ed910-4fdd-459f-b656-cea06b620781>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2016, 6, 30, 12, 58, 34), 'WARC-IP-Address': '212.45.106.53', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7HTCJ4XTCN725HXQUPTYEHD7GDRCWHNJ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:14189b4e-0ea2-4d97-8b1d-0c263266912f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/vacuum-cleaner/vax-appliances-v-008/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:266d6c7c-3334-44d8-9d65-5ef2b9bfd01d>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '433', 'url': 'http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/vacuum-cleaner/vax-appliances-v-008/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2016-26\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 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': '0.02325296401977539', 'original_id': 'a33cec57600cae34c25a6f55b700158649754eb55d9579b1b6b5b30eef29b0fb'}
American media missed the rise of Donald Trump because they spent too much time talking to each other and too little looking at factors that challenged their conventional wisdom. That was the conclusion of Nate Silver, purveyor of fivethirtyeight.com and perhaps America’s leading political numbers cruncher. “Journalists should recalibrate themselves to be more skeptical of the consensus of their peers,” Silver wrote in the last of his nine-part series “The Real Story of 2016,” which appeared Friday. Silver said journalists rejected information that could have led them to conclude the Hillary Clinton campaign was not the slam dunk they perceived it to be. He said they got convinced by national polls that Clinton was further ahead than she was and ignored tightening polls in even those states, such as Ohio and Iowa, that had proven to be bellwethers in the past. He called for “an attitudinal adjustment” in the short term and more effort to get outside the bubble going forward: You should be looking toward how much evidence there is for a particular position as opposed to how many people hold that position: Having 20 independent pieces of evidence that mostly point in the same direction might indeed reflect a powerful consensus, while having 20 like-minded people citing the same warmed-over evidence is much less powerful. Obviously this can be taken too far and in most fields, it’s foolish (and annoying) to constantly doubt the market or consensus view. But in a case like politics where the conventional wisdom can congeal so quickly – and yet has so often been wrong – a certain amount of contrarianism can go a long way. [italics in original] Sounding another familiar theme, Silver compared the coverage of Brexit to that of the presidential race. Like Brexit, he said, “The reporting was much more certain of Clinton’s chances than it should have been based on the polls.” He pointed to an Oct. 17 story in The New York Times which portrayed the race as basically over. The only question was whether Clinton should run up the score in the Electoral College or help down-ballot candidates. He also pointed back to June, when Sean Trende of Real Clear Politics wrote a piece warning: Commentary on the 2016 election has broken down somewhat because both the online right and on line left opposed the Trump candidacy. Because of this, we analysts find ourselves in something of an echo chamber, which makes us more susceptible to bad arguments, and more likely to overlook good ones that point in an intellectually uncomfortable direction. Trende’s piece said in the early days of blogging, people saw the Internet as self-correcting. Bad arguments would be trumped by better arguments, moving all closer to the truth. When there are no arguments being made on one side, it becomes easier to assume the other side is right. In the Brexit vote, Trende wrote, commentators acknowledged the race was close but they never entertained the idea it might prevail. The idea, they believed, was simply too bold, too extreme, too intemperate – “a massive outbreak of ‘unthinkability bias,’” he wrote. Any challenge to the inevitability of Brexit being defeated was met with “In referenda, undecided voters tend to break for the status quo.” But, as was the case with Trump, it wasn’t clear what side the status quo was on. Some saw Brexit as a way to keep the UK as it always had been. In the United States, this sentiment was embodied in four words: Make America Great Again. Trende recalled a time in early fall when Clinton was up 12 points in an ABC News/Washington Post poll. Writers focused on this poll but overlooked that Clinton led by just five an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken at the same time or that Clinton led in Florida by just 3.4 points, Ohio by 2.7, and Pennsylvania by 0.5. Silver said both the Brexit and presidential votes split along class, education, and regional lines, and the Northeast Corridor press, which dominated the national discussion, did not – because it could not – pay attention to signals its narrative may have been missing the mark. He talked about James Surowiecki’s book The Wisdom of Crowds, and the four conditions Surowiecki says have to be present for analysts to make good predictions. They must have diversity of opinion – their own private information. They must be able to form opinions independent of those around them. They must have the ability to specialize and draw on local knowledge. And they must have a way to turn those private judgments into a collective decision. The media of 2016 had only the fourth of those, Silver argued. They could share opinions, but the only information they were getting was from others in their echo chamber. They did not or could not form independent opinions, and they had no local knowledge to draw on. The less-educated formed the bulk of the Trump coalition, and many were reflexively if not dogmatically conservative. Meanwhile reporters increasingly are highly educated. Today, 92 percent of journalists have college degrees. That’s up from 70 percent in 1982 and 58 percent in 1971, Silver said. And just seven percent identify as Republicans. This insularity caused some themes to rise in coverage and others to disappear, and it shaped the way issues were framed, Silver said. With so much validating opinion in circulation, reporters got sloppy and granted anonymity to too many sources and were unwilling to engage with data journalists. “Events such as conventions and debates literally gather thousands of journalists together in the same room,” he wrote. “Attend one of these events, and you can almost smell the conventional wisdom being manufactured in real time.” It was conventional all right. But it wasn’t wisdom.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '47a7f772fcb89b9561018b0d58b9b3262319d0aaf1d59e0e86d8232134969b77'}
Middle School While SMT is a small, intimate school with a tight-knit community, students entering middle school engage in a more independent, responsible learning experience. Teaching is organized by department, and some subjects, such as science and math, are taught in classrooms other than the homeroom. Throughout middle school, students acquire skills and build confidence that will prepare them for the next steps in their academic life. For example, note taking is reinforced in sixth grade and expected in all subjects. Students have repeated opportunities to learn how to think analytically, work collaboratively, manage their time efficiently, and study effectively. These skills and experiences are critical to success in high school and build a solid foundation for excellence in college and adult life. SMT’s English and literature program is aligned to Common Core standards. Students strengthen their grammar knowledge in order to study Latin, improve their writing skills, and grow in their ability to comprehend and appreciate both fiction and nonfiction texts. By the end of eighth grade, students will have studied and written personal and fictional narratives as well as argumentative and analytical essays. They will have participated in a range of collaborative discussions as well as engaged in many public speaking opportunities. In math, both the regular and advanced courses are aligned to Common Core standards and emphasize a mastery of foundations, a rigorous approach, and a commitment to the hard work needed to achieve a deeper understanding of concepts. The middle school years are critical to the building the foundation that will be used later in algebra, calculus, and geometry, as well as physics, biology, and chemistry. Humanities form an important part of the curriculum, with social and religious studies adding strong building blocks to a well-rounded education. Social studies courses cover periods from ancient history through contemporary world history, with an emphasis on American history in eighth grade. Through our religion curriculum, middle school students learn about Gospel values, build their faith, and deepen their appreciation for the Christian message. Service learning and outreach activities strengthen the core values of compassion, generosity, and gratitude. Laboratory courses are a distinguishing characteristic of our science program. Logic and critical thinking skills are incorporated into daily instruction, while students integrate technology such as iPads and digital probes for real-time data collection, visualization, and analysis. Independent exploration is encouraged though participation in our science fair program, in which our students win awards yearly at the county and state levels.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9497833847999572}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '34271', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2PGNN7IUUTK54OMFFGW4VJFSM2WDFZQG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d95e06d4-228a-4361-bfbe-4d409047d69c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 18, 5, 39, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '146.66.99.222', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:AQSTN76FQYIPVW3FOJQWSOO6DQR3GUKM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:3c6ee122-f06e-445e-8ddc-dab5ccaa0eb2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://smtschool.net/curriculum/middle-school/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d4ef9adc-7ad8-41ce-96da-61aa544b2397>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '409', 'url': 'https://smtschool.net/curriculum/middle-school/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-05\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-245.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': '0.054365336894989014', 'original_id': 'bfb840f678432c27814b75e9e042275f40c44bd88d3f9a0ac09178335b73beb1'}
Voices: Yearning for the good old days Voices: Yearning for the good old days As you travel around the country you see the broken roofs and bare stud walls, and the faded, rotting siding of the old wooden barns. Once a large part of farming, they are now dilapidated, falling, sad reminders of a past way of life. There is something about barns, and when you see the rare one that is painted and standing tall and sturdy, it is a nice thing to see. It gives you a brief comfort, a feeling of a solid past that we are loosing. Shiny metal-clad pole sheds are efficient and easily built, but they lack character. Wooden barns standing tall with their distinctive shapes, with the haymow door high in the end peak and the barn door standing open welcoming the animals, were unique. Sadly, we are losing the buildings and the solidness of the time. My grandmother's barn was built in the 1880s. The foundation was made of four very large corner rocks, and smaller rocks spaced evenly in between, with 16-inch square beams laid on them, level and square, with a mortise and pinion timber frame built upon them. It must have been quite a sight when new. The mow would be full of sweet-smelling hay and way up on the top beam the hayfork dangled like an ancient bird of prey, a reminder of hot summer days stacking hay to the rafters. By the time I was around one of my uncles was farming the land and the barn was 70 years old. I remember exploring nooks and crannies where spider webs abounded and hidden, dust covered ancient tools no longer used were buried in the debris. It was a great place for a young boy to discover things from the past. One corner had an old disused pigpen, another an old disused sheep area, and down the middle the main driveway full of dusty old equipment. The only parts still in use were the mow full of baled hay. It was a good place to build hay forts and hide from your older sisters. The warnings from my mother about the hay collapsing and smothering me to death were soon forgotten. Who worried about such things at that age? There was an area for milking the cows that was a little bit cleaner. I remember cold winter evenings watching my uncle milking. The vapor of cow's breath hanging in the cold air, the ringing sound of the milk hitting the metal bucket. The tangy smell of cow, manure and straw bedding. Magically, a row of barn cats would appear hoping for a drink. My uncle with his head pushed into the cow's side milking, turning his hand sideways, and without looking it seemed, shooting each one a stream hitting them right in their mouth, what a shot, I was always amazed how he could do that. He kept an old pan there and he always left it full of milk for them. Drinking milk straight from the cow wouldn't be thought of today and we probably wouldn't like the taste. The cream rising to the top, butterfat, it was good, but it was strong. Gathering eggs was an adventure. The old hens seemed to prefer hiding their nests in the barn rather than in the hen house where they were supposed to. They could be fierce in defending their nests. It was a game seeing who could find the most eggs. Things like cream separators, home pasteurizing machines and candling eggs are gone too. Grandmother's barn was torn down in the 1990s — it was still solid, but starting to fade, it was just not needed. The whole farmstead, with its way of life, is gone now, just a plowed field remains. In some places they are preserving barns and there have been old-fashioned barn raisings here and there so that the knowledge of how to do it is not lost. Some have even been turned into houses and restaurants. The original function of barns — to house and feed livestock that produced food and milk for the local area and community — is pretty much gone. Knowing where your food came from, who produced it and how it was raised is almost gone. Today we have assembly line milk factories with chemically enhanced dairy cows producing milk that could be $7 per gallon if the government didn't subsidize the industry. Today's egg-producing factory hens never see the light of day and their feet never touch the ground. Who knows what they're fed? We have meat from beef cattle fattened up with chemical help. And now we have our grain foods genetically engineered and chemically enhanced. And it all grows on chemically fertilized soil possibly leeching into our water supply. We have a bountiful supply of food, the envy of the world. We're just not sure if it is good for us, or how it is changing us. The yearning for the good old days of our past still lingers. You can't go back and if we could we would find it not as great as we remember. Life was harder then. Early on you had to go outside and talk to your neighbor for entertainment, possibly walk a little distance to do it. Maybe do a little weeding in the vegetable garden. Later times you had to get up out of your recliner and walk across the room and turn the channel knob and walk to the freezer to get a TV dinner. Today, our modern life with all the "remotes and apps" is nice and comfortable; hardly any effort is needed. Maybe too comfortable — obesity and diabetes are big problems in our society. There are some who exercise and eat wisely, but for a lot of us the most exercise we get is walking to the door to get the delivered pizza. Losing barns is one thing. Losing our health and freedoms is another. Although the future is not looking all that rosy, we can hope we don't lose every good thing about our country's past.

Q: Populating a HashMap with entries from a properties file I want to populate a HashMap using the Properties class. I want to load the entries in the .propeties file and then copy it into the HashMap. Earlier, I used to just initialize the HashMap with the properties file, but now I have already defined the HashMap and want to initialize it in the constructor only. Earlier approach: Properties properties = new Properties(); try { properties.load(ClassName.class.getResourceAsStream("resume.properties")); } catch (Exception e) { } HashMap<String, String> mymap= new HashMap<String, String>((Map) properties); But now, I have this public class ClassName { HashMap<String,Integer> mymap = new HashMap<String, Integer>(); public ClassName(){ Properties properties = new Properties(); try { properties.load(ClassName.class.getResourceAsStream("resume.properties")); } catch (Exception e) { } mymap = properties; //The above line gives error } } How do I assign the properties object to a HashMap here? A: If I understand correctly, each value in the properties is a String which represents an Integer. So the code would look like this: for (String key : properties.stringPropertyNames()) { String value = properties.getProperty(key); mymap.put(key, Integer.valueOf(value)); } A: Use .entrySet() for (Entry<Object, Object> entry : properties.entrySet()) { map.put((String) entry.getKey(), (String) entry.getValue()); } A: Java 8 Style: Properties properties = new Properties(); // add some properties here Map<String, String> map = new HashMap(); map.putAll(properties.entrySet() .stream() .collect(Collectors.toMap(e -> e.getKey().toString(), e -> e.getValue().toString())));	mini_pile	{'original_id': '821f892cedeb0740798a4904f40699352c46d0a5efc7b7e4184dee7857b19c2b'}
Chapter 1 Water Next Chapter The tree’s leaves move gently in the breeze, creating playful shadows on the ground. A few slowly float towards the ground, catching the rays of sunlight as they fall. Ari raises her hand and catches one of the rogue leaves. She holds it in front of her face, her eyes tracing the veins creating exquisite patterns. She rests her hand on her chest and stares at the tree above her. Beyond the branches and leaves she sees the sky, cut in half by the overhang of the canyon wall. A shadow crosses the sky, a large bird flying freely. “Ari,” a voice calls. Sitting up, Air turns to see her mother standing in a doorway. She smiles and raises her hand to show the leaf still held between her fingers. But the leaf is gone, replaced by the silk bracelet her mother always wore dyed dark with blood. She screams and drops the bracelet. Where it lands a fire erupts, quickly engulfing the courtyard and tree. She looks to her mother, seeing a shadow looming behind her. She tries to scream to warn her mother, but no sound comes out. A blade stabs through her mother’s front, but her smile never falters as the flames engulf her as well. Ari covers her face with her arms, preparing for the feeling of burning. It never comes and she opens her eyes. “It is the Source’s will.” A shadow stands before her, staring at her with pale, empty eyes. It raises a hand to grab her, but she falls back away from its reach. She falls far, the shadow rapidly disappearing above her. She turns and stares down seeing a forest rising quickly towards her. She sees a camp, many people sleeping around dead campfires. She sees her own body, sleeping between Crofton and Vico and realizes she’s going to land on herself. She screams, knowing she’s falling too fast to survive the landing. Jolting upright, Ari gasps as sweat rolls down her face. She places her head in her hands, fighting the tears threatening to overwhelm her. Movement makes her jump, but she realizes it’s only Crofton rolling onto his side. She calms her breathing and stares at his sleeping form. His brows are furrowed and a small frown on his lips show he’s not having pleasant dreams either. She looks to the other man sleeping beside her, Vico. Unlike Crofton, his face is neutral. Her sudden waking didn’t disturb him. Soft laughter from behind sends chills up her spine. She carefully maneuvers her way to her knees and turns around. She sees figures running through the trees and strange lights. Standing, she steps around the two sleeping men and heads off into the forest. She follows the figures and lights, unable to get any closer. The laughter grows as she ventures further from the camp. The trees open to reveal a small clearing. Lights dance through the air, different colors and sizes. The figures stay running through the trees, only blurs. She steps into the clearing cautiously, unsure what to make of the sight before her. The lights move close to her and around her. She tries to catch one, but they’re too fast. A large light moves towards her and she can almost make out something inside it. A cavern filled with molten rock and a cage hanging above the deadly boiling earth. The light flies away, but a second light replaces it. She steps closer to it, trying to make out the image inside. She sees a floating city, flying beasts circling it, above a lake of steaming water. The light moves away. She only catches brief glances into other lights, spying different lands in each. She walks to the center of the clearing, following the lights. Movement out of the corner of her eye stops her. A figure stands at the edge of the clearing, watching her. The other figures continue to run through the trees, but the lone figure standing has her full attention. Chains slither over the figure, as though living. Blood drips from the metal, darkening the ground beneath it. “It is the Source’s will.” The ground beneath her becomes soft and she slowly sinks into the earth. She grabs at the ground, trying desperately to escape. She feels the cold earth swallow her faster the harder she struggles. The figure steps into the clearing, the chains falling from him. His face distorts almost becoming recognizable, but before it does, she slips beneath the earth. Hands grab her, skeletal hands digging through the earth. She feels endless numbers of hands wrap around her arms, legs, and body. They pull her deeper and deeper into the earth, burying her far from anyone who can save her. Two hands wrap around her throat and squeeze. She screams, but soon her voice fades to nothing. Next Chapter Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

Is Risk, Risky? Risk is a very important topic to traders. But what are we, as traders, risking? Is it money? Is it self-confidence? It is a little of both or is it something else entirely? Do you know that your view on risk and what you consider to be risky verses what you don’t, came from a part of your life that had nothing to do with trading and at a very young age…. Below, I have copied an article I received from Bob Proctor that I think explains risk and its origins very well. My [Bob Proctor] dictionary tells me that to risk is “to expose oneself to the chance of loss.” I suppose that is true. Another piece of literature I was once given (author unknown) suggests that: To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. You may avoid suffering and sorrow if you don’t risk, but you simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing and has nothing. Only a person who risks is free. What causes individuals to shy away from taking a risk, even if it is a low risk and will give them something they really want? Well, certainly high on most people’s list would be fear of loss, failure and perceived humiliation if the loss were to occur. Why would we automatically think that we would fail at something? Why wouldn’t we first try and see, and then if we did fail, learn from that experience and move on? What causes us to have these thoughts of inferiority? Well, I believe it dates back to our little life. And, since risk-taking, to my knowledge, is not a subject that is taught in school, it would lead me to believe that a person’s fear of taking risks might stem back from before they can even remember. When you were a child taking your very first steps, it wasn’t uncommon to hear one of your parents or guardians say, “Be careful, you might fall.” Or, “Don’t do that, you’ll ….” Though some of this is rhetoric and you don’t really pay much attention to it, for some, it begins the pattern of playing it safe. Think of how much better equipped we would be to face life’s challenges and succeed, if we had repetitively heard, “Take a chance and don’t worry about falling, because you’re going to fall…probably quite often. Falling is an important part of learning.” Many of the greatest lessons you’ll receive in life are going to come from falling … from your failures. I have often said that a little baby is a natural born risk taker. The baby never considers the consequences of falling when it is learning to walk. Falling is acknowledged as a natural consequence to learning to walk. I guess you could call it a calculated gamble; it’s a prerequisite to mastering a myriad of motor skills required to get you on your feet and moving. It’s a natural progression in movement. Why then, wouldn’t we stop to consider that any movement into unchartered territory should be viewed with the same consideration? What happens to us? If you dream of living your life in a really big way, you must accept risk-taking as a very real part of the apprenticeship you must serve. Make a decision right now to change. Decide this very moment there will be no more playing it safe … no more “saving it for a rainy day” type thinking in your life. When people get caught up in the habit of saving for a rainy day, that is generally what they get … a rainy day. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” Follow her advice and liberate yourself from the crippling emotional state of fear and enter into a world of freedom. How does your view of risk-taking factor into your trading, and your life, and how does it hinder you? Would you like to change that? Are you ready to change it? Let me know how I can help you do that very thing. Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! Wait for It…… I have spoken to a couple of traders this week that are “disappointed” that they are not in a trade at all times. Since they feel they need to be in a trade all the time or they are not going to “make the money,” they are always looking for a set up and then finding a rule that they think might fit at that time thereby being able to trade all the time (boy, that made me dizzy writing it….). I asked them how they were doing on their balance sheets with this type of trading. “Not so well” they said, “I always seem to be on the losing side. It’s like there is someone on the other side of the computer and trades against me, and takes my money!” Now, think about this realistically, can that really be true? Do you think all the brokers hire a person to watch what you do and take the opposite of your position? Of course not but, at the time, it can sure feel that way. You are actually trading against yourself. Why do I say that? Being in the trading world for any length of time, most of you have run into a trader or two that makes their living doing this day in and day out. Have you ever asked them how many trades they take in a day or a week? Well, I have. They usually say one to three and I’m done. Well, if they only take one or two trades in a day, what are they doing the rest of the time? They are waiting for their set up to come to them. They are not forcing a trade out of what the market is showing them at that time. A successful trader is not “in” the market all the time. They spend a fair amount of time waiting for their set up. The set up they have designed and practiced time and time again and know well. They look for that set up and that set up only because they know the odds of its success is great when it shows up on the screens. Now, why did I say you were trading against yourself earlier in this post? Because, the market will always give you a mixed signal with every move it makes in the second it is making that move. If you are not focused on looking for one thing, you will see many things, and when you finally get frustrated enough to take a trade, it is not a tried and true set up that you have good odds and faith that will succeed thereby creating failure just by definition and action. There are many emotions that make traders feel they must be in a trade at all times. Emotions are good for our family and friends but not so good for your trades. What emotions are getting in the way of trading your plan to its successful conclusion? Here is a quote I heard recently that I love: “There is no reason to have a Plan B because it distracts you from Plan A” – Will Smith, Actor This quote rings true for all the successful traders out there. They have their Trade Plan A and nothing else. It is what they trade day in and day out and makes them live to trade another day in great comfort. You need to wait for your set up. It is the most important thing you can do as a trader. If you do this, you too will also live to trade another day in great comfort. Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! A Personal Conversation….. The markets have calmed down a little from last months’ volatility and seem to be moving in much nicer ups and downs. I hope everyone is doing well with it. I had a conversation with a client of mine yesterday and I would like to post it here. It is a little different than my usual blog but I feel is it very much what a lot of people think trading has to be like. Now, this person is a big baseball fan so you will see that I explained things to him in baseball terms. Since we are all familiar with the All American Sport, I am sure you will all get the analogy. Here it is…. Client: You know any professional has pressure. You have to have it. You can’t be without pressure. The best baseball player deals with it all the time. From the opposing team or his own numbers or the guy in the minors that wants to prove that he belongs in your place. So, to trade without pressure is not something that is doable for most. And to me the pressure is important to be there because you groom yourself to achieve in the most stressful of environments. Paul sent me a thing about the men and woman who achieved in the most stressful of times. The pilot who landed safely in the Hudson etc. that makes sense. To think you are not under stress, or only trade when you not, will not help if you do this for a living. How you trade and handle yourself during those times is the difference between success and failure. Me: I agree that how you believe and handle yourself during those times is the difference between success and failure but it is not my belief that it has to be surrounded with stress and pressure. Different people will handle the same situation differently based on their views/interpretations of what the particular environment means to them. Not all people will consider it to be stress/pressure. But it is still how you handle the situation that makes the success not if it has stress/pressure or not. Let’s take your favorite sport, Baseball and equate it. A player coming up to bat with bases loaded and 2 outs. It seems obvious to those watching that it is a stressful situation, but is it? Does that batter see it as stressful or does he see it as an opportunity to do his best? Does that put undue pressure on him or does it give him a challenge to overcome? Or does it relax him knowing that he is going to do his best this time as he does every time. These are all different ways that a player can handle the same situation. The ones that can tune out the “internal chatter” and focus on the play are the great ones. Like your favorite player, Evan Longoria Client: I’m keeping that chat. You are correct; strive to win when I am in that situation. Don’t look back, look forward. I am at that place in time because I put myself there. Seize the moment! Are you all Seizing your moments? Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! Trusting Yourself This has been an interesting time in the markets recently and in the world. The markets have been reacting to all of it and so might we be in our trading. I have a client, and friend, who I chat with regularly during the trading day, and he is very regimented to his trading plan. He is what we all strive to be with our plans. He has also been on the floor of the CME as a trader and has gained much knowledge through that time. The other day he saw a set up that his “gut” told him was a good trade to take but it did not fit his plan. He took the trade and made a great trade. Green all the way. But then he became very conflicted about it as he “did not trade his plan.” And so much so that he proceeded to beat himself up about it for hours. Now, how many of us beat ourselves up over a green trade? I would venture to guess that not many beginning traders do. Veteran traders might have a different answer. There answer would be “depends on why I took it?” What is the reason for this difference you ask… This difference has to do with the discipline they normally show for their trade plan and the knowledge they have gained from trading the markets over time. In the beginning of your trading career, you have very little reference to go on for how the markets work and what they do at what time. There are many emotions involved with taking the trade or not, winning and losing and how you view trading as a whole. But, as we sit in front of our charts, day in and day out, we learn and our subconscious learns too. We learn on a conscious level to trust our trade plan. That it works well for us and we should trust it. We work on our emotions to not get in our way. On a deeper level, our computer brain is learning too, and at a very fast rate. Much faster than our conscious can keep up. Our subconscious files all these learnings away in its file cabinets (neuron pathways to be exact). As we are learning our trade plan, our subconscious is learning the market. One day, after you have been trading a long time, your ‘gut’ tells you to take a trade. ‘It’ has seen this set up many times and knows that the probability for a win is very high. You can decide whether to take it or not at that time but it will present the offer. In this case, my friend took the trade and later recognized why the feeling had been so strong in him to take it. Yes, he went against his trade plan for that one instance (and that is the key, it was only for one instance in a long line of trading his plan), and he was successful. And now he is back to trading his plan exactly as written. Until the next time his subconscious ‘sees’ a great set up and lets him know. He can then decide whether to take it or not. How are your emotions during trading? Are your entries just a matter of fact or do you have to wrestle with your emotions? If your emotions are getting in the way of your trading, please contact me so we can talk and get you through it. Trading is what you make of it and I hope you are making it enjoyable. Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! Do You Let Your Emotions Do The Trading? The higher our emotions are, the more difficulty we have staying grounded. –Market Profile I am sure you have, at some time in your life, gotten into a discussion and all of a sudden the discussion got completely off track. You were originally intending to make a light point but then it became you on a soapbox. Once you stopped, you looked around and saw, with complete astonishment, that the person you were talking to was just staring at you with open mouth. This is what emotions can you do you when they are in control of you and you are not in control of them. While that can be good in love and caring, it is not good in trading. These last two weeks have seen many large swings in all the markets. The emotions of the general populous have been swinging along with it. There has been much joy and pain in the room where I trade in the early mornings. And, as the day continued, these emotions became more evident in the trades that were taken. I heard several newer traders taking trades and justifying the fact that they were not following their trade plans with many excuses. Some of these trades worked out but most did not. These traders saw the market ‘getting away without them’ and didn’t want to be ‘left behind.’ I also noticed that many of the veteran traders were sitting on the sidelines waiting for the trade to fit their trade plan. When it did, they were in without hesitation. The veterans where not trading by their emotions but by their plan. And because of this, they fared much better than the traders that were trading from their emotions. A trader that has removed the ability of their emotions to trade for them, is not worried about ‘missing’ a trade as they know a new one will come along and it will be one that fits their trade plan exactly as it should. And with this confidence and control, they are successful day after day, and year after year. Do you let your emotions trade for you? Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! I Love My Targets! I hope everyone had a safe week in trading this latest round of volatility. It might have been a test of your courage in following your trade plan or it might have been a walk in the park on that aspect but a little worrisome about getting stopped out. It’s all about confidence and attitude. I have heard a mantra being said by some people when they are being challenged to keep their stops where they are. And last week, I heard it a lot! This mantra goes something like “I love my stops, I love my stops.” And they repeat it over and over during the course of the trade until they are either stopped out, or it moves in their direction and they feel comfortable again. A fellow trader and I were discussing his use of this mantra one day and we realized something….he was possibly attracting the stop-out since he was putting so much positive energy towards them. I know you have all heard of the Law of Attraction; that which we focus on, we attract. Well, my trade friend did an experiment. He changed his wording to “I respect my stops and love my targets.” I’ll bet you never guess what happened……. He got stopped out less often! It is amazing how one little change in our thoughts can make such a difference in our results. Can you think of something you would like to change the way you think about so that your results will change? Contact me and let’s GET IT DONE! Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! How do we Change our Mindset? In Mindset 101, we learned that Thoughts-Become-Things. It’s all made up! Richard Bach says “There are an infinite number of possible futures.” And it is up to us to pick the future we want. The best part of my work is that I help people to change their Thoughts so they Become the Things they want Now! The venerable Mark Douglas says, “Everyone who trades ends up learning something about the markets; very few people who trade ever learn the Attitudes that are Absolutely Essential to becoming a consistent winner.” (emphasis mine.) So, what determines our Mindset? It is our collection of programs! Every result in your life is based on the collection of programs YOU installed, and run consistently. These thoughts govern the results you have achieved in your health, career, relationships, finances, trading and everything else in your life. Do you need a new program? How do we create a new one? Changing our thoughts about something, then changes our language about it, our emotions around it, our beliefs about it and lastly, our actions to it. Doing all of this then changes your Results! How is this done? First we have to identify unhealthy programs. We ‘scan for viruses’ and take them out. I challenge you, good reader, to a task. Pay attention to what you say to yourself while trading and write it down. Are you giving yourself Limiting Beliefs like my client John? “I can’t do that because…..” Are you around toxic people giving you negative feedback or are you saying toxic things to yourself? “I’m a stupid idiot because I didn’t take that trade….” Are you following the herd? “So-and-so said it was a good trade to take….” Once you’ve written these down, email them to me and let’s see what we can do to change them! Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! What is a Mental Mindset? In last week blog post, I mention “How we approach our trades is our Mental Mindset.” What does that mean? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as 1) a mental attitude or inclination; 2) A fixed state of mind. How do we develop a ‘fixed state of mind?” Through our programming. From birth to about six years of age, our conscious brains are not fully formed. That is why you can play peek-a-boo with a toddler and they actually are surprised when you remove your hands from your face and they see you are there. At those formative years, you are operating from your subconscious mind. This is the part of the brain that keeps us alive, beats our heart while we walk, tells us when we need food so we don’t starve, allows us to drive and keeps us safe from harm, or at least what it remembers as possibly being harmful to us. When we do something that it views as a threat, it reacts by having us feel fear or a number of other emotions that it hopes will get our attention and get us to stop the offending activity. Emotional responses are one of the ways our subconscious mind communicates with us. While we are learning all these new and fascinating things about the world, we form automatic responses so we don’t have to re-learn these things over and over again but can go on to learn new things. These automatic responses are stored in our subconscious mind and are triggered whenever something happens in the world that matches the criteria for that response. Much like a computer program or our trading plans. Now, do you think the way you need to react to an event is the same now as when you were six? I should say not! Yet many of you find that you are doing some trading based on emotions that you are feeling at that time. Maybe you move your stop to ‘give the trade some breathing room to work out,’ or you close out your trade before it reaches its target to preserve some green in your account balance only to have it go to your target. All this is based on emotions and programming that was put in place before you were six years old! Can it be changed? The answer is a resounding YES!!! Until next week…Green Trades Everyone! When Did You Decided That….? I was speaking to a client a couple of weeks ago, let’s call him John. John and I had done some work in the past and it had been a good move for his trading career. We were catching up on things and he said something that caught my ear “I expect to lose 30% of my trades.” I asked, “When did you decide that you had to lose on your trades and by that percentage?” “What do you mean?” he asked. “Well, if you’re going into every trade wondering ‘is this going to be the loser?’ how effective do you think you are going to be in that trade?” He was a little confused so I explained further… Now, I know that many of you think it’s the law of probability or numbers or whatever your word is but think about this…. How often do we get in our cars and think “Well, I wonder if today will be the day I get into an accident?” (After all, the statistics are high on that one.) Or when we go to bed at night, do we wonder “Am I going to wake up tomorrow?” Of course we don’t! If we did, we would never go to sleep or drive in a car or do a ton of other things we do to live our lives and have fun. But, we think it’s ok to wonder if this trade is going to be the loser that we are expecting or not…? How we approach our trades is our Mental Mindset and what we concentrate on happening, will. What John had was a Limiting Belief. And it was limiting his trading success. Since he had such a strong belief that he would lose, of course, he would unconsciously make sure of it by letting his emotions and doubts get in the way of following his trade plan. He would limit his winners by closing them out as soon as they showed the slightest chance of reversing and taking his green. How many of you have done that before only to watch it turn back and go in your direction for a big win that you missed out on? It is a self-fulfilling prophecy and has no place in your trade plan. We did some work on John’s limiting belief. If you ask him, he will tell you, while he thinks that losing may be part of the process of trading, he does not believe he has to lose. He no longer wonders if the current trade he’s in will be the loser. Short and simple, he does not EXPECT to lose when he takes a trade. This has made him more relaxed in his trading and is showing itself in his balance sheet. Until next week, Green Trades Everyone! You’ve Done Your Homework, But…. You’ve done your homework and created your trade plan. Countless hours of putting your plan together, listening to your mentor and studying charts and books. Weeks monitoring the charts and trading your trade plan in your ‘practice’ account. You’ve done it by the book. Now your confident. It’s time to put your money where your homework is…… You’ve opened your charts, done your checklist and your first trade signal has presented itself in front of you. Confidence high, you take the trade, and get stopped out. First loss. Not a problem. You understood before you started that successful traders both win and lose and losing is a part of winning. You’ve also heard, more than once that “successful traders don’t win every trade.” Moving on, still confident, the next trade is taken. Another loss, but this one hurt your pride a little because you got stopped out quickly and then the market turned and went back in your direction and would have hit your target if you weren’t stopped out. You double check. Yep, you placed the stop where your trade plan told you to put it. You feel a bit wounded but are trading your plan and you must stick with it. The day is done and your account is down, but you knew that could happen. “Tomorrow will be the day.” After a good night’s sleep and a few mouse clicks, your new trade is in front of you. Hey, this one looks good. It’s a little more risky than yesterdays’ trades , but look at that profit potential! You jump in the trade. With a nice start to the trade, you’re feeling good and now it’s time to move your stop to breakeven, just like your plan says. Surprise news – market reverses and blows through your stop…an unexpected loss. Is something wrong with my plan? Has the overall market personality changed, affecting my system and rendering all my back-testing irrelevant? Your confidence turns to doubt. You decide to sit out the next trade and “watch” it. I mean, isn’t it wise to make sure the system gets back on track before you “throw good money after bad?” Isn’t that what a good trader does? Your “watched” trade is a winner! You now “beat yourself up” because you know that when you started your “live” trading, you made an agreement with yourself to take the first ten trades… matter what….and here, you chickened-out and missed a big winner that would have gotten you even. What’s happening?!!! What’s happening is that you are being controlled by your emotions. They are in control of you and you are not in control of your trading. The scenario above plays out in every trader….new or veteran. However, the winning trader realizes what is happening and takes control and nips the problem at it’s heart. The winning trader seeks out a solution to this problem and gets their mental house in order. There are many more losing traders than winning traders, and it is rarely their trade plan. Until next week.

Monday, August 29, 2011 At Home with Hurricane Irene For the past 2 years, I've operated a weather station which provides realtime data for Wellesley, Massachusetts to the National Weather Service, the Citizens Weather Observation Program, and Weather Underground. If you search Google for Weather Wellesley, you'll get my data. For graphs of the temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall rate during Irene, here's a summary from Weather Underground. To prepare for the storm, I took down flags, removed hanging bird houses, and stored every object that could become a projectile in the wind. Interestingly, we never had sustained winds more than 10 mph. Our peak gust was 17 mph. Likely, the impact of the storm on my location was much less than the surrounding neighborhood because of the grove of old hemlocks nearby that serves as a windbreak. However, we did have a substantial amount of rain - 2.24 inches on Sunday and 4.66 inches in 24 hours related to Irene. I retrofitted all our gutters with extenders to push water away from the house and sandbagged the bulkhead to our basement, just in case standing water accumulated in the backyard. The key technology that saved our house was not anything wind related, but was the disaster recovery sump pump I created last year. At the height of rain intensity, a tree down the street collapsed. due to the weight of water on its leaf canopy, and fell through power lines. The Department of Water and Power cut power to the neighborhood to do the repair. Water began rising in my basement drains and as designed, the battery backup sump pump worked perfectly, pumping the basement dry despite the loss of power. Installing a battery backup sump pump makes great sense - the likelihood is that in the worst storms, you'll also lose power, so having an AC powered sump pump will not help you (unless you engineer a complete alternative power solution for your home) If my neighborhood was typical, the storm did have a profound impact. Down the street, a tree fell into two cars. My father in law lost a portion of his entry roof. Downed limbs have impacted traffic flows throughout the area. However, our engineered systems for power backup and water control plus our preparation for the storm made our experience of Irene, our first hurricane, uneventful.

Five-Year Incidence of Hospital-Based Emergencies Related to Acute Recreational Intoxication in Minors. Alcohol or other drug (AOD) intoxication in minors is a public health challenge. We characterized underage patients admitted to an emergency department (ED) with acute, recreational AOD intoxication. We conducted a 5-year (2012 to 2016) analysis of minors admitted to the only hospital-based pediatric ED in an urban area. Episodes of AOD intoxication were selected using ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes. Sociodemographics, substance use and clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and discharge dispositions were collected through the revision of clinical charts. A total of 266 admissions related to recreational AOD intoxication in 258 patients occurred during the study period. Among the 258 patients, 127 (49.2%) were men, median age 16 years [IQR: 15 to 17 years], and 234 (90.7%) of episodes were alcohol-related. At admission, 202/256 (78.9%) patients had a Glasgow Coma Scale ≥ 13 points, the median systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 109 mmHg (IQR: 101 to 118 mmHg) and 67 mmHg (IQR: 60 to 73 mmHg), respectively, and the median blood glucose level was 112 mg/dl (IQR: 99 to 127 mg/dl). Only 72/258 (27.9%) patients underwent urine screening (22/72 (30.5%) were positive for cannabis), and only 30/258 (11.6%) were tested for blood ethanol (median: 185 mg/dl, IQR: 163 to 240 mg/dl). There was a trend in admissions occurring early in the morning of weekend days, and 249 (96.5%) patients were discharged home the day of admission. Though the severity of AOD intoxication seems to be mild to moderate, assessment of substance exposure is low and may underestimate polydrug use in underage populations.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'e0e79eef08f2d0628da1fb49e44faa32c3d53401aa302de684f775b734e69c05'}
Huskies Coaching Six Of Eight Crews in Race at Seattle By the Associated Press SEATTLE, June 10.—It's going to be “old home week” on Lake Washington Saturday for most of the coaches whose crews are entered in the West’s biggest paddling event since the Indians deemedphasized the sport. Six of the eight crews assembling for the international regatta are coached by men who once pulled oars for Washington or went along for the "tide to handle the tiller ropes—in shells that glided to championships on the West Coast, at Poughkeepsie and at the Berlin Olympics. Only Wisconsin’s favored eight and the University of British Columbia are tutored by non-Washington coaches. The crews with ex-Washington crewmen are: Rutgers, Charles Logg, who rowed for the huskies in 1919-21; California, Ky Ebright, coxswain 1916-17; Harvard, Tom Bolles, 1924-26; Cornell, Harrison Sanford, 1924-26; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jim McMillin, 1935-37; Washington, A1 Ulbrickson, 1924-26. In time trials yesterday, both at low stroke, Harward turned in a performance between 6:25 and 6:35 unofficially, and M. I. T. had a 6:30 test. Washington’s 6:15 of the precious day stands as the best performance over the course, but the experts don't expect that pace to be good enough to win on race day. 16 Powerboat Races Listed at Cambridge By the Associated Press C AMBRIDGE, Md., June 20.— Commodore Clarence E. Pink of the Cambridge Yacht Club has announced that 16 power boat racing events are planned for the regatta here July 27-28. The power events, scheduled for July 27, are sanctioned by the American Power Boat and Chesapeake Bay Racing Associations. One of the high lights will be the Pacific one-design test deciding the Eastern championship. The winner of this event will receive the Governor’s Trophy, to be presented by Gov. O’Connor. Sailing events are to be held on Sunday, July 28. Fighting Step, Neck Victor, Adds $16,700 to Earnings By the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 20.—Fighting Step added $16,700 to his 1946 winnings by taking the Clang Handicap 7-furlong sprint yesterday at Arlington Park. Winner of the American Derby and more than $100,000 last racing season. Fighting Step edged out Walkie Talkie, a 22-to-1 shot, by a neck. Fighting Step, the favorite over 11 other entries, paid $7.40. Sports Mirror By the Associated Press Today a year ago—Hal Newhouser blanked the Cleveland Indians, 5-0, to chalk up his 10th victory of the season for Detroit. Three years ago—Gunder Haegg defeated Greg Rice by 40 yards in the AAUs 5,000-meter event to end Rice’s streak of 65 straight victories.

H. Laboyteaux’s Pipette score a photo finish in the $10,000 Colleen stakes for 2-year-old fillies which marked the return of horse racing to that track for the first time since 1893. Pipette, ridden by Jockey Ted May, ran the 5% fur longs in 1:03% and paid $9.80. A father-and-son combination made a monopoly out of the $5,000 added Great American Stakes at Aqueduct yesterday when Trainer George M. Odom, saddled Colin MacLeod's Useless, which finished second. Mrs. C. P. Amodies’ Elmo T. captured the $4,500 Everett Purse at Boston’s Suffolk Downs by two and a half lengths from Marvin Level’s Free Transit.

Four Big Purses Set Charles Town Mark Special Dispatch to The Star CHARLES TOWN, W. Va., June 20.—Counter, 4-year-old bay daughter of General Markham and Sales Girl, who races for Marvin and Moore of South Carolina, will carry a lot of support today in the $1,000 Cumberland 6%-furlong sprint. Counter is meeting a smart field, but if she runs to recent trials, she is going to come pretty close to snaring the purse. Dark horse of the race is Bill Casllear’s Erato, who breaks from number two stall. For the first time in the history of West Virginia racing, four $1,000 purses will be offered. Grattan McKlroy Paces Ahead WESTBURY, N. Y., June 20.—Gattan McKlroy, driven by Neil Houslet, won the featured south shore classified pace on the grand circuit. The program at Roosevelt Raceway last night, stepping the mile in 2:06 to return $4.40 to $2. Five New Champs Held Likely In NCAA Meet This Week End MINNEAPOLIS, June 20 (JP).— Prospects were good today that new champions will be crowned in at least five events of the 25th renewal of the NCAA track and field meet Friday and Saturday, with a strong possibility that new records will be set in three events. Performances of athletes entered In the NCAA so far this spring indicate new champions are on the way in the 2-mile run, the low and high hurdles, the high jump and the pole vault, with the new record possibilities coming in the 220 and 440 yard dashes and the mile. Herb McKenley, Jamaican star from Illinois, is expected to duplicate his world record time of 0:46.2 set in the 440 of the Big Ten meet at Champaign three weeks ago. He also has run the 220-yard dash In 0:20.6, just two-tenths of a second slower than NCAA mark set by Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette 13 years ago, and is expected to better that time. Labeach Is Big Threat. Pressing him in the 220 will be Wisconsin’s Lloyd Labeach who consistently runs the distance in better than 21 seconds. The third event in which a new mark is anticipated is the mile run. If Roland Sink of Southern California lives up to predictions, he will come close to or better the 4:08.3 set by Louis Zamperini of Southern California in 1938. In the five other events figured for new titlists, last year ’s winners will be competing against men who had turned in better performances than were necessary last year to win. In the two-mile Sink and Fied Peiler, Drake University’s two-time NCAA cross-country champion, both have ran the distance faster than the 9:29.5 which won for Frank Martin of New York last year. Sink has been timed at 9:22.4 and Peiler at 9:23.9. Walker is the front hurdler. George Walker of Illinois, defending the low and high hurdles titles, is rated behind Harrison Dillard of Baldwin. Wallace in the lows and behind Dillard and Ralph Tate of Oklahoma in the highs. Dillard’s recent 0:22.8 time over the low timber is four-tenths of a second faster than Walker’s best time. Dwight Eddleman of Illinois has cleared 6 feet 6 1/2 inches in recent high jump competition to eclipse Fred Sheffield of Utah and Ken Wiesner of Marquette who tied for honors in the event a year ago. Five men are rated ahead of Bob Phelps of Illinois, last year’s pole fault winner. Tex Winter of Southern California has leaped 14 feet 1 inch to top efforts of Bill Moore of Northwestern, Bob Hart of Southern California, Bob Richards of Illinois and Ted Wonch of Michigan State, all of whom have been consistently superior to Phelps. El VERSO TOBACCOS Are DARK Because They’re Which Kiwanis at Alexandria To Hold Benefit Show Alexandria Kiwanis Club will hold its fourth annual horse show on July 4, starting at 2 o’clock at the Municipal Stadium on Monroe avenue at River road. In case of rain, the show will be postponed until Saturday, July 6. Proceeds are for the benefit of the club’s welfare program for Alexandria children which includes a free summer camp. Tickets at $1 and 50 cents for children may be obtained from any Kiwanis Club member or at the office of the Northern Virginia Shoppers’ Journal, 110 North St. Asaph street. James C. Gaines is president of the club and is being assisted with the show arrangements by a committee. Hunting Cut Imperative to Save Ducks, Says Wildlife Director By the Associated Press Duck hunters this year face a shorter shooting season, a reduced bag limit, or both. This will be necessary, Director Albert M. Day of the Fish and Wildlife Service declared, "to halt and reverse the alarming decline in the wild duck population." In the past two years, Day said, there has been an average decline of about 23,000,000 birds a year. The continental population of migratory waterfowl began to decline in 1945 when the annual inventory of the service indicated 105,500,000 birds, compared with the peak of 125,350,000 in 1944. The downward trend continued in 1946 with wild ducks and geese dropping to 80,000,000. Meanwhile, the number of licensed duck hunters skyrocketed to 1,686,368. "In the years immediately ahead," Day said, "the wild ducks and geese of this country are going to face the greatest army of hunters in all history," Day said. "A declining period in waterfowl is all too plain. Increased hunting pressure is a fact and not fiction. It is going To take the best kind of management possible to prevent further cuts into the breeding stocks of waterfowl. “The only quick means of adjusting hunting pressure is provided through the annual migratory hunting regulations. Back in the early 30s, when the waterfowl population was down to 27,000,000 on its way out, the regulations rigidly enforced by State and Federal wardens saved the day.” WE’VE SLASHED THE PRICE DRASTICALLY IN ORDER TO CLEAR THESE BAUSCH & LOMB U.

Read More This was our first time with NCL...usually are Princess cruisers...but really liked the Dawn and the crew was so friendly and helpful. We never heard the word "no" except when we brought a bottle of water back on the ship from a shore excursion. Our aft cabin was just the right size for two and the balcony was usable except during a few raining moments. Enjoyed the suite only benefits of private breakfast and lunch dining room. We had the unlimited beverage package which was so easy to use. The shore excursions were somewhat limited if you didn't want to visit a ruin or go snorkeling. The Harvest Caye tour of the village was depressing...such a poor area...we did learn a lot about the area, but left us sad. Did enjoy shopping in the jewelry stores. Tropicante Beach Club in Costa Maya was a great place to spend several hours...great staff and food and drinks...very reasonably priced. Felt very safe as staff escorted us to and from the club to our taxi...just to make sure we got to the correct taxi and back to our ship. Read Less We were on the NCL Dawn 1/28-2/7.

The Venetian dining room looked very dark and gloomy but has been lightened up. However the choice of artwork was questionable as they took copies of classical paintings and purposely distorted them. Don't understand the concept there. The Los Lobos and Mojito bars were very nice additions. The Bamboo specialty restaurant left a lot to be desired. The meal was the poorest on board. The ability to fill a water bottle continues to challenge management. I wish NCL would take a cue from most major airports and provide separate water bottle filling stations. The whole water bottle situation is a major customer irritant. Filled water bottles are not listed on the Prohibited Articles page and there no signs at the embarkation point prohibiting bottles of water but the contents are emptied anyway. Lastly, the embarkation and disembarkation process was an abomination. It took us 70 minutes to get on board and we heard horror stories of 2 1/2 hour waits. It took just as long to get off. One would think that as much revenue as the ships generate for this port they would use their clout to have more customs agents. Finally, Ocho Rios is a dump-don't bother.

The entertainment and staff at Gatsby's bar was great. We ate later (8:00-9:00), so never had any problems getting into the restaurants and the service in the restaurants was very good and the food was good. Ate at 4 specialty restaurants: Cagney's, La Cucina, Le Bistro and Teppanyaki. The service was good at all of them and the food was good. We were the only ones at the 9:00 slot at Teppanyaki. Never long wait getting drinks at bars. Enjoyed Stingray shore excursion and Harvest Caye. The largest problem was boarding and disembarkment at the port of Tampa. We waited 1 hour and 50 minutes to board and 2 hours to disembark. There were only 2 custom agents at disembarkment until 11:00, this delays boarding and disembarkment.

It was probably one of the 3 best cruises we had been on. This time was not so wonderful. THE GOOD: Updated ship - New carpet and flooring all around, re-designed common areas. The reception area looks great, O'Sheehans was a great addition! Service staff - Very friendly and helpful. Pool bar crew is the best! Wilfred made the best mojitos! Specialty dining - Great service and solid food quality. Make your reservations early and don't try to show up in shorts at Le Bistro... Internet - It's a cruise ship so don't expect 25mbps. It worked and was very reliable. We received 500 minutes free but would never pay the rates they ask for on the ship... THE BAD: Main dinning food - NCL had made great improvements over the first seven years we cruised with them. It seems since Oceana bought them the food quality and selection has dropped a bit. Cafe food - Again quality and selection have dropped a bit... Excursion agent - Reminded me of a timeshare salesman! Billing - We had many billing issues and had to visit the reception desk at least every-other-day. Fortunately we were able to get things squared away on the last day before the lines got long. Baggage - One of our brand new suit cases showed up at our stateroom with a missing wheel. When we came off of the ship another wheel was missing!!! I-Concierge app - Constantly failing and having to be re-booted in order for it to work. Text messaging hardly worked. In fact two messages from the first day of the cruise were still trying to send when we left the ship 7 days later!!! Total waste of $20 for two phones. A third phone wouldn't install the app... Water Temp - went from cold to scalding hot without warning! Made showering very difficult. We spoke with many others on the ship who said they were having the same issue. OUR EXPERIENCES: The embarkation process was the worst we experienced with NCL. We sailed out of Tampa. Our previous two times from Tampa were from Terminal 3. This time we embarked from Terminal 2. They lined people up out onto the street and when they started letting us in the also allowed people being dropped off by shuttles and taxis to just walk in rather than make them go to the end of the line. In the terminal it was far too small to handle the number of people trying to check in. Security was not organized and seating was limited. We saw many elderly people standing waiting for nearly an hour to board the ship. These people had already stood outside for an hour or more and honestly should have been sitting! Once on the ship we went to the excursion desk. We have never booked an excursion through the cruise line as their pricing is in some cases just stupidly high. Because we had a $100 credit per port we opted to book on the ship. The process was good and the excursion agent seemed good. We had questions and when she didn't know the answer she got on the phone and got it for us. This was our first cruise that would go to the new NCL private island Harvest Cay. We had heard that there may not be a buffet on the island. We had also heard that the UDP would not work at the bars. This was a bit disturbing since Great Stirrup Cay has both a buffet and many bars to get your drinks using the UDP. So we told the agent we were interested in renting a pool cabana on the island and wanted her to confirm the food and beverage status on the island. She said that there was a buffet and that the UDP worked on the island. Because of this we booked the cabana. We also asked about the cancellation policy of the cabana if the weather was bad. She stated it could be cancelled if the weather was bad. This just reinforced our decision to have the cabana. When we arrived at the island it was pouring rain. We called the excursion desk only to find out they were not open until 6:00PM!!!! How convenient. We asked the reception desk if we could cancel the cabana as we were not going to the island. We were told that we could not cancel the cabana and we would have to pay for it even if we don't use it. Since we were paying for it we decided we would go out in the rain and have some drinks in the cabana to get some use out of it. This is when we found out that there in fact is no buffet and the UDP does not work on Harvest Cay. If you want something on this private island you have to pay for it and the prices are very high!!!! The island itself is very beautiful and NCL did a great job building it. However, we will never book a cruise that goes to Harvest Cay in the future if they are not going to have a buffet and UDP option on the island. It is a very long walk from the ship to the island and not worth the time to go back to the ship for food and drinks. Needless to say we felt duped by the excursion agent as none of the information we were given for any of our excursions was accurate. She seemed to "elaborate" a lot in order to get us to book. It reminded me of a timeshare sales presentation, lol. As mentioned above we had issues with our luggage. This is not the first time we had our luggage damaged by NCL. The first time it was with a hard-shell suit case that was a few years old. Somehow they split the shell down the entirety of one side. When presented to the reception staff they called a manager who looked at it and said they would try to repair it. Needless to say the repairs didn't work so they gave us a $100 obc. We were satisfied... This time my brand new hard-shell suitcase arrived at our stateroom with a wheel broken off (they put it in my suitcase) and another hanging on by one screw (two screws were sheered off). This was the first time I had used this new case that was barely a week old!!! I presented it to the reception staff who said they would send it back for repairs. It came back with the missing wheel back on but the other was still hanging. They told me the "carpenter" would not be able to fix that one. In addition where the broken wheel was fixed they cracked the shell of the case in a line about 4 inches long. I told them it was not acceptable and I wanted something done. They refused and filled out a Irregularity Report and told me to take it up with their corporate office in Miami. At the end of the cruise we left our luggage outside our door and when we picked it up in the terminal my suitcase had a third wheel broken off and it was nowhere to be found. This was just wrong... The cruise director was nice but she was very difficult to understand. She also had difficulty with speaking as she didn't seem to have a strong grasp on the English language yet. Hopefully she can continue to work on this as she was really nice! Overall I'd say she does a good job. The entertainment was good no matter where we were on the ship. The bar staff were fantastic and the food servers were top notch! The hostesses at O'Sheehan's and Cagny's/Moderno were awesome and always remembered us when we were nearby. They were very good to my wife's father which was greatly appreciated! Regardless of the good and bad on the cruise we were with family and friends and we made the best of it every day. We enjoyed our cruise and can't wait to go on another. Only it will be with Royal Caribbean! We do have a cruise booked with NCL in November but we plan to cancel it and book with RCCL. We feel they give more value for your $$$ now. Read Less The food in Le Bistro was excellent. All others, including The Venetian and the cafe, were average at best.

All others, including The Venetian and the cafe, were average at best. I felt the staff were not as friendly as on other NCL cruises. What I missed most was my early morning coffee, sitting at the stern and watching the sea. Unless The Dawn does some extraordinary itinerary, I will not book it again. Overall, even though the ship had been refurbished just a couple years ago, it had a "tired" feel to it. Our cabin steward, while friendly and nice, was not very good at her job. The ports of call are not that interesting. Both Grand Cayman and Belize were disappointing; although our guide to Mango Creek, Irma, was excellent. Kudos to her for making an otherwise boring tour durable. The best tour and guide was the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. Diana Garcia, our guide was superb! The semi-submarine tour of the coral reef was interesting but Cesar, our guide, was hard to understand at times. Read Less Does Platinum tarnish? It does on NCL.

Also, NCL has a great solo cruiser programs with dedicated solo coordinators (albeit a bit inconsistent in application). Unfortunately, these are the only great things left on NCL. NCL has made many cuts over the past two years. Cuts that what might have been noticeable only to those who cruise NCL a lot are now noticeable to all. And the cuts to loyal cruisers are now having lots of folks talking about choosing a different line. What cuts and does the average cruiser care? Paying for juice if it’s no longer “breakfast time”, bland buffet food with little variety, main dining rooms’ “freestyle” that requires reservations unless one wants to wait up to an hour and a half at peak (normal dinner) times, higher end food items no longer available at specialty restaurants, and high room service fees. Service? The cuts in staffing are noticeably staggering. The folks who work for NCL work long and hard but there are simply not enough of them. Waiting over an hour for a drink at a table? Waiting up to 20 minutes for a drink standing at one of the many bars? Watching restaurant servers move as though they are on fire but still waiting up to 40 minutes for food? Not being seated at empty tables in specialty restaurants for what appears to be a lack of wait staff? And all through it, the staff are pleasant and uncomplaining. However, add to all of this a 20% automatic gratuity for drinks and cabin service charges of $13.95 per person per day and a cruise that looked like a bargain is actually discount house quality at a mid-range price. Do loyalty members suffer from cuts in the Latitudes program? You betcha. Priority embarkation and disembarkation have taken a real hit and this is one perk that means a lot to or higher loyalty folks. Never mind that suites now have preference over everyone - that’s understandable. But no priority at all is unacceptable. I stood for over two hours in line to embark on the Dawn because there was no dedicated Platinum or higher Latitudes embarkation line. I suffered the same fate disembarking. When I asked about this, I was told it was not NCL’s fault and they could nothing about it. A constant theme now with NCL. Chocolate covered strawberries and excursion discounts? Only if you ask. An interesting ploy to cut costs for NCL. Lots of platinum and higher folks just don’t ask anymore. And what about the old fashioned OBC of $50? That’s been long gone folks. If you want OBC, best to buy 100 shares of NCL stock or book through a cruise agent. Hopefully NCL will rethink its current course. Staff advise more and deeper cuts are on the horizon. In the end, perhaps solo cruisers and others will find that NCL is no longer their cruise line of choice even with Platinum or higher loyalty status.

Read More Embarkation went smoothly for the most part, although the weather didn't cooperate for sailaway! The regular cruise director was at a convention, but his sub, Shake-It Shirley, brought a lot of energy and humor to the role, so that was fine! The staff was all friendly and helpful, and there were a lot of activities, although they did start to get repetitive after 10 days on the ship, they may want to look into some alternatives for variety, especially since they didn't change the times day after day. The staff did a good job of recognizing when an activity was popular, and adjusting the venue accordingly. but there were a few communication challenges that were frustrating. One was due to my relying on the iConcierge app, which wasn't always up to date, so we ended up missing trivia because it had been relocated to the Bliss Lounge due to high demand. The second time, we missed trivia because it was moved to Gatsby's because of Bingo in Bliss, but no announcement was made in Bliss, so quite a few of us missed the beginning and just happened upon it. The cabin was nice and quiet, although we would inexplicably hear chairs being dragged occasionally, which is odd since we were below other cabins, not a common area. I was pleased to have a pretty good selection of movies available. It would be nice if there were some way of knowing the schedule of what movies and TV shows would be available, as we ended up seeing the end of quite a few movies and never seeing the beginning. Service was excellent all around, as was the entertainment. I was disappointed to learn that Second City was no longer aboard, as I had been looking forward to that, and assumed that since MyNCL indicated that it was part of the entertainment, that it would be (I hadn't checked recently, so possibly that was updated somewhere along the long). The acrobatic acts were fantastic, as was the magician, and the comedians were great. Food in the specialty restaurants was fantastic without exception. We didn't eat in the main dining room often, but what we had was good. The buffet was hit or miss - I'm not clear why scrambled eggs have to be completely bland, or how macaroni and cheese can be delicious one day and absolutely tasteless the next.

Read More We have done cruises with many different cruise lines, but we are long-time NCL passengers, having started with the NCL Norway and experiencing an average of 2 or 3 cruises in recent years. With our "almost Platinum Plus" status, we generally know what to expect (and lately, unfortunately what NOT to expect). There is no question that in recent years, NCL like other 'more budget' cruise lines has pared the staff so it is much harder to find excellent service, but fortunately some individual staff members still provide service that stands out. On the Dawn, we found such people in the Aqua dining room, La Cucina, the Casino, and generally among the bar service people. Along with the NCL Dawn experience, our recent experiences on the NCL Jewel and the NCL Spirit, all similar sized ships, have shown us that service is primarily a 'cultural' result of the leadership of the ship or department (The Spirit being horrible, and the Jewel ranking first-rate). The Dawn fits into the middle of this spectrum with some very good departments, and some just horrendous. Our experience with two Specialty restaurants is indicative of this. La Cucina, despite having a rather stark ambiance, truly made up for it with excellent, attentive service and with superb food (a filet Mignon was far more tender/flavorful than Cagney's)! Everything about the experience was perfect. The Management Staff was very visible, but not intrusive. Rather than spending their time stopping at tables with indifferent chitchat designed to make us think he cared, he spent his time assuring that every aspect of the restaurant worked flawlessly. Cagney's, on the other hand, was just the opposite. The waiter literally couldn't be bothered. When asked a routine question about the menu (as he delivered a long-awaited drink), his response was "wait a minute" and he rushed to another duty. This wasn't an exception to his great service, but rather the rule....drinks sat unfilled, no one stopped to ask if they could help, delayed ordering, etc.....except of course, the woman in charge stopped at our table for a perfunctory 'is everything ok here' as she kept moving on. No time to even respond. Now, Cagney's (a restaurant that usually has phenomenal ambiance) is arranged differently on the Dawn and has tables for two along a narrow corridor (about 8' wide total) between the kitchen serving counter and the atrium wall....and we were punished apparently for being only two, hence, on one side, we could hear the music from 6 decks below and on the other we could witness the wait staff 6 feet away communicating with the chefs about their missing side dishes or even orders. Yes, we could even watch our orders sitting under the heat lamps for close to 5 minutes waiting for our waiter!! All of this ability to watch the "inside workings" of the kitchen and staff would be interesting in a diner, but hardly in a Specialty restaurant!! The rest of our trip was more "normal" for NCL... On NCL, we now expect that our cabin might not be cleaned or straightened on our preferred schedule, or the steward might forget some days to leave our requested extra cream or coffee, as these staff members have had their workloads increased many times over. We know that we should more closely check our bill during the cruise (even the front desk couldn't explain a charge this time) as things aren't just as crisp as in the past. Despite the wonderful service and great attitudes in the casino, as expected, we will go home with significantly less money than we brought (never had the pleasure to win one of those BIG jackpots they announce while we're playing)!!! The menus in the dining rooms weren't always to my particular liking, but on the elevator I heard another long time cruiser say he hadn't ever seen as varied a menu on any ship...and he was right as I thought about it! I just don't happen to like veal or lamb and tend toward more "meat loafs and pasta", so I realized that the menus can't cater to every whim (I found PLENTY to eat). The food is good generally, not great, on most cruise ships (some exceptions particularly in specialty restaurants). The pomp and ceremony of presentation, the waiters singing every night and marching into the dining room with flaming treats have become extinct elements of the past. Entertainment is varied and subject again to personal taste. We loved the comedienne but didn't go to the dance programs. Hypnotists, magicians, bingo, etc are not our thing. We wish they'd put more of the entertainers on the TV so we could see the ones we missed as we go to bed. I'd love more "how to" lectures like "How to understand Windows 10" or using other programs, to more history of locations, etc. but I know this is just my preference (and on some cruise lines or ships we can get those). I WAS impressed to see a class in Mandarin Chinese which appeared to be taught by a staff member who spoke the language, so there ARE some of these lectures available. We went on the cruise as much for the warm weather as the ports. While we enjoyed Key West, Bonaire, and Curacao, we really enjoyed the sun and temperatures in the 70's. it surprised me that they didn't put out lounge chairs until 9am on the pool deck, because, we were told, people complained about the noise. I would think that it would be better to put them out earlier, and teach the staff not to drop them or scoot them, as my experience is that they don't make a lot of noise other than that (and the people are there anyway). I wonder if I complained about hearing music at 10 pm in my stateroom would result in discontinuing the entertainment program...... Lastly, I must mention the absolutely worst embarkation process ever experienced was this one in Tampa (disembarkation wasn't much better). It was like it was their first time ever leaving from Tampa, when they do that often.....yes, this was a different than standard departure, but they aren't that much different.....Security, health form, check-in, give credit card, get picture taken, sit until called......over an hour once we were in line, and we were there early (not counting the time until they were ready). Would we go on the Dawn again? We love the smaller ships, so if the itinerary was right we probably would. We'd just know what service to expect. There were many good aspects to the Ship, and more average experiences. The extremely good, and the extremely bad always capture our attention. Yes, we filled out the "good employee" cards, and we also filled out the "Dear Hotel Manager" forms. I wonder if the comments ever make it to top management off the ship...... I might mention that a significant number of passengers had assistance in mobility, from electric carts to wheel chairs to walkers to canes. All seemed to function on the ship well and staff seemed to be helpful as necessary. It's gratifying to know, as one getting older, that NCL facilitates this mobility. Several of the electric carts were on the ship, and they seemed to do particularly well (though waiting an empty elevator appeared to be a challenge sometimes). Based upon this anecdotal observation, I would encourage those with mobility concerns to check out the NCL ships. Read Less This was our first Norwegian cruise and NOT our last.

Read More This was our first Norwegian cruise and NOT our last. We already booked 2 more for the next year! Embarkation out of Tampa was a breeze! Easy Uber ride from the airport wasn't too expensive! Once aboard the ship, we waited about 2 hours to get to our room. We walked through the ship and discovered all that it had to offer. Though, the ship was small, and we would have liked a few more onboard physical activities. However, the entertainment and cruise staff made up for what the ship was lacking in that area. The entertainment was phenomenal. From the magician to the singer to Elements, we were WOWed nearly every night. The onboard music, specifically Muz'k Nation, was just amazing. Any and every night they were performing, we made sure to watch them! Since we loved this band so much, we did not have the opportunity to watch other singers, however, they were probably just as good. The food... NOT good. Due to our lack of enjoyment at the complimentary dining areas, we had to spend money on the Specialty Dining which was fabulous, but costly without a package. For the first 6 days, we suffered through the Garden Cafe, Aqua Dining Room and Venetian. The steak was rubber-like in Aqua and the service was soo slow in Venetian. I could not even tell you what type of food Garden Cafe had, however, it was nearly the same every night and not pleasing. We found the servers in Aqua to be a mixture of either VERY nice and accommodating, or extremely rude, as if we were bothering them. LOL. The drinks were good, and reasonably priced, even without a drink package. The itinerary for this cruise was phenomenal. I cannot even begin to explain how happy we were with the places and sites we saw. Key West -> Aruba -> Curacao -> Bonaire -> Grand Cayman -> Jamaica (Jamaica, was ehh, but Dunn's River Falls is a MUST!) We would definitely pick this itinerary again and again!!! Overall, Norwegian far exceeded our expectations ( even though we had a to spend a little bit more on food). We have found our new fav cruise line!

Mark your calendars for September 27th. That's when scientists say a supermoon lunar eclipse will rule the sky for the first time in 30 years. The 'Supermoon', which appears up to 14% larger in diameter due to its proximity to Earth, will also turn a reddish hue due to the Moon passing directly behind the Earth, into its shadow. So get out your telescopes and be prepared to be amazed; the supermoon lunar eclipse will not be seen in the northern hemisphere until 2033.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '9', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.937804400920868}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '123949', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:IHUHGX5ZWVCSVXJTO6PBXXN33CSOI7HX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5164cf95-d1c9-4636-ad3c-3ebb50cd7bd2>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 22, 6, 10, 55), 'WARC-IP-Address': '152.195.32.250', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:3IPA6H7BHL7MGAPSFOMJHWEPLGO2CYOI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8389dbe3-494e-4284-8224-1ae2d6a5aee5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://1073popcrush.com/rare-celestial-occurance-to-occur-on-september-27th-video/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:20980781-f103-47e3-9e58-40e065b812c9>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '83', 'url': 'https://1073popcrush.com/rare-celestial-occurance-to-occur-on-september-27th-video/', '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-10-144-182-216.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': '0.1613556146621704', 'original_id': 'de878abd0a63fe31e640fac41e4c31540b57c4d30223b93ef6f83230918cf57a'}
Japanese Internet Giant GMO to Launch Yen-Pegged Cryptocurrency Japan’s GMO Internet Group has announced plans to issue a yen-pegged stablecoin called GMO Japanese Yen. Already in the crypto exchange and mining hardware businesses, the company plans to launch its third crypto enterprise with this stablecoin. Also read: 160 Crypto Exchanges Seek to Enter Japanese Market, Regulator Reveals Yen-Pegged Stablecoin GMO Internet Group announced Tuesday that it “will start full-scale preparations to issue stable coins of virtual currency, with an eye to enter into the ‘settlement’ area of virtual currency business.” The company detailed: ‘GMO Japanese Yen (ticker symbol: GJY)’ [will be launched] through the unified brand (global brand) ‘Z.com’ in the overseas strategy of the GMO Internet Group. [It will be a] ‘yen-pegged currency’ linked with the Japanese yen. Noting that there are already 57 stablecoins in the world, 23 of which are already in circulation, GMO disclosed that “We plan to start issuing [the stablecoin] for the Asian region around the fiscal year 2019.” Third Crypto Business Currently, GMO has two businesses in the crypto space: the exchange business which started in May last year and the mining business which started in December. In its earnings presentation published in August, the company outlined another crypto business area it seeks to enter called “cryptocurrency payment.” In Tuesday’s stablecoin announcement, GMO revealed that it has been “investigating and researching whether the virtual currency could be the settlement currency from the viewpoint of volatility.” GMO’s Hope for Its Stablecoin According to GMO, in order to solve the hyperinflation problem seen in many developing countries, “issues such as true non-centralization need to be overcome.” The firm asserted that stablecoins can be a solution to this problem “as a currency to replace low-credit domestic currencies.” The firm also believes that even in developed countries, stablecoins have “a potential to become a global standard innovative financial infrastructure.” Referring to its yen-pegged crypto, GMO described: One of the tasks is to stabilize price fluctuation (volatility), which is a risk to remittance and settlement, in order to increase the spreading and development of the virtual currency.

There are different kinds of semiconductor manufacturing processes to be implemented on a wafer. Generally, different kinds of light sources are selected in accordance with the implemented semiconductor manufacturing process. For example, a WEE (Wafer Edge Exposer) module is utilized to expose the edge of the wafer. Generally, a WEE module includes a WEE lamp, a WEE housing and some optical parts. However, the WEE lamp, the WEE housing and/or the optical parts may have decaying intensities and short lifetimes. In addition, the maintenance and cleaning of the WEE lamp, the WEE housing and/or some optical parts require increased cost and labor. Therefore, there are still challenges in exposing the edge of the wafer in a more reliable and efficient way.	mini_pile	{'original_id': 'b64c403b6c6c17eb681a8346c04e05a5194a973c26033a4918665d4330908f60'}
Q: Enable java remote debug in code For example, we can enable java remote debug by adding following to command line. -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 But my application is running in yarn, I'm not sure which port is available. So I want enable java debug in my code. First I detect a available port and log in my program, then I can use this port to debug my application. A: The address property specifies host (optionally) and port (only the port if host is left out). So address=5005 specifies the port 5005 in your case. If you want your program to wait until you connect your debugger, switch suspend=n to suspend=y. Edit: Maybe I misunderstood your question. In case you want to enable debugging programmatically, this won't be possible as the debugging facility JPDA is not exposing a Java API nor any other way to start and stop it programmatically.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '83eed85cb76880da77585be56567134d2a99372edf86777f2ceff72603d26461'}
CNET también está disponible en español. Ir a español Don't show this again How to automate Android volume settings based on location Android offers wide-ranging flexibility in its settings, but the joy of fiddling with them does wear off after a while. Still, most of us would prefer to keep our ringtones quiet at work and loud on the street. Llama is a free app that lets you set location-based profiles to switch ring volume and many other settings as you move from place to place. Here's how to get started. If you find yourself constantly fiddling with the volume settings on your Android phone as you make your way through the day, there's a simple way to automate the process of turning notifications and other sounds up, down, or off depending on your location. Llama, a free application, cleverly figures out where you are without needing GPS or even Wi-Fi enabled, then adjusts volume accordingly. Here's how you get started: • Install the Llama app and fire it up. • Select the Areas tab, and long-press on "Home" or "Work" if you're in either of those locations, or "+" on the bottom right if you're somewhere else you want to tag, like a coffee shop you visit often. • Select "Start Learning Area," then tell Llama how long you're going to stay put. (It takes this time to check in with local cell sites it uses to identify this location in the future, so it works best in dense areas like cities.) • Llama Areas tab Llama Areas tab • Select the Events tab. There are several presets with popular options like "Left home" or "Quiet at night." Long-press any one of them to edit, delete, or disable it. The stock options keep your phone at normal volume most of the time, but quiet at work and silent at night. They're easy to edit--just long-press an event, select "Edit Event," then change parameters or add new ones. You probably will want to shift some of the times to accommodate your personal schedule. • Llama Events tab Llama Events tab • If you want to change the volume settings or add a new profile, select the Profiles tab, which comes with four presets: Loud, Normal, Quiet, and Silent. Long-press any one of them to edit or delete it, or to activate it and lock it so your settings will stop changing based on location.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Syrian revolt spreads to ruling Alawite tribes. Cities sealed. Executions in army The popular uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad is still spreading. Tuesday, April 12, one of the Assad family's own Alawite tribes and the key Sunni city of Aleppo joined the movement demanding the president and his kin's removal. Assad fought back against the expanding threat to his survival by mobilizing all his military and security resources, including the loyal young thugs of the shabbiha gangs. They have orders to shoot to kill and not permit ambulances to collect the wounded. Tanks seal the most restive towns of Teraa, Bania,s Latakia and Hama. Alawite unrest centers on the impoverished Knaan tribe centered in the village of Bhamra in the mountains of northern Syria. A second immediate danger to the regime comes from Aleppo, Syria's commercial hub, where for the first time more than 10,000 protesters marched. The Druze mountain inhabitants are up in arms. So too are the Kurdish towns of the north such as Kamishli and the Shammar tribes of southeastern Syria around the border town of Abu Kamal.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '18', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9690078496932985}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '476466', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3WSHDKIZBZLMJ4Z47ZECOGYP6YTHZHQ7', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7a7e21ec-e73c-4ce4-8ca4-ca0efc731f7c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 18, 20, 8, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:J6CNEOMNRF7DDX4XV5Y7AIZMGM2DXSVP', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e9509298-113d-4216-a4de-56c8c813765b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://counter-msm-news.blogspot.com/2011/04/syrian-revolt-spreads-to-ruling-alawite.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:78147894-fee5-4831-b4c4-0b921f9d9d88>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '205', 'url': 'http://counter-msm-news.blogspot.com/2011/04/syrian-revolt-spreads-to-ruling-alawite.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-30-212-82.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': '0.14999860525131226', 'original_id': '3f9c47b83b9ca89ee250388854292436901e536ecb0dd200a304ac6dc3cd6080'}
Beautiful. I scribbled this word in my notebook seven times as I watched Disney's latest princess adventure, 'Frozen.' Lots of other compliments can and will be paid to this profoundly wonderful film, but it is, above everything else, spectacularly beautiful. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen,' 'Frozen' centers on sisters Elsa and Anna, princesses of the bustling Scandinavian-inspired kingdom of Arendelle. As children they were inseparable playmates, but a dark secret has put up a wall between older sister Elsa and the rambunctious little sister she is determined to protect. See, Elsa (Idina Menzel) was born with the ability to manifest snow and ice, but it's a power she can't always control. So, her well-intentioned but misguided parents teach her to conceal this side of herself, and in doing so turn their eldest into a lonely recluse who fears who she is. Undaunted, the tenacious and spirited Anna (Kristen Bell) has hopes her sister's self-isolation will melt away once Elsa is made queen. But on that fateful day, this carefree and klutzy little sister sets off a chain of events that runs Elsa out of town and throws all of Arendelle into an eternal winter. Determined to save her home and her beloved sister, Anna sets out on a quest into the icy wilderness. Along the way, she meets a gruff woodsman (Jonathan Groff), his loyal reindeer, a talking snowman (Josh Gad) and many more magical creatures. While there's plenty of adventure and rousing action sequences, 'Frozen' is at its core a story about sisterhood, love and self-discovery. The screenplay by Jennifer Lee is vibrant and clever, subverting old-fashioned princess tropes over more progressive messages about love and romance. From this solid base, she and co-director Chris Buck have constructed a dazzling and entertaining narrative that's filled to the brim with fun and heart. The animation is luxurious, reveling in delicate details like filigrees of ice, droplets that light up willow trees like Christmas bulbs, and brightly colored costumes with textures like suede, silk, velvet and satin. This care to detail naturally extends to the movie's characters, whose physicality feels grounded in reality, yet heightened by Disney musical theatricality. And the vocal performances from the likes of Kristen Bell, Alan Tudyk, and Broadway stars like Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff radiate with verve and wonder. Bell's ardent enthusiasm plays perfectly against the tension-strained delivery of Menzel's conflicted Snow Queen. And Groff pulls double duty as the socially awkward woodsman Kristoff, who also speaks on behalf of his reindeer sidekick Sven. Personally, I worried the talking snowman Olaf (voiced by Broadway star Josh Gad) would be too kooky and one-note to be much more than obnoxious long term. But instead he is an irrepressible joy, spurring characters (and us) to hope and laugh even in the movie's darkest moments. Ultimately, 'Frozen' is a total crowd-pleaser from start to finish. Its musical numbers kick off the film with an intoxicating energy, and carry it through with one toe-tapping tune after another. With some of Broadway's best performing them, these songs thrum with so much emotion that I can't wait to listen to them on a shamelessly endless loop. Most of these numbers deftly deliver character info or drive along the story, but they are so entertaining that the effect is seamless, never stalling the plot. Well, almost never. There is one number about "fixer upper" relationships that seems to fly in the face of many of the movie's themes as well as stopping its momentum cold. But this ditty is mercifully short. But in spite of this minor flaw, I can't stress enough how fantastic 'Frozen' is. It's funny and moving, exciting and thought provoking. Moreover, it's such a pleasure to watch that it's sure to be a favorite for audiences of all ages. Better still, 'Frozen' is so deeply beautiful that it is sure to inspire children, artists and animators for generations to come. 'Frozen' opens in theaters on Nov. 27.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9495245218276978}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '136522', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5BPQS6GA7TUUHFJ2YHBPC3YOO4O5M2VL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:040fa955-cddb-4920-925f-e6292dab49f0>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 18, 7, 27, 7), 'WARC-IP-Address': '152.195.32.252', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PLIXU25UJWNJTGTDRAUZAAXRTDYZGRX5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:60cc733e-4b1a-4872-b31c-e57598d00052>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://popcrush.com/frozen-review/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:41802a70-7c45-4f40-9366-2fafefa13aed>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '648', 'url': 'http://popcrush.com/frozen-review/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-26\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-187-26-184.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': '0.027111709117889404', 'original_id': '1a324eef44c90171bbf50e987aecd4439918ca265ccf202c9b68283e41ebce30'}

There are more than 20 different species of barracuda that range in size from less than 50cm to nearly 2 meters in length. The barracuda is widely spread across the oceans but is more commonly found in the more tropical regions where there is an abundance of food. Although barracudas can be found in the deep ocean, they tend to prefer coastal habitats along continental shelves and close to coral reefs. Despite the difference in size and colour between barracuda species, all species of barracuda have a similar elongated appearance, and pointed head with powerful jaws, containing rows of sharp fang-like teeth used for eating larger prey. The barracuda is known to be an aggressive and dominant predator, often relying on the surprise tactic in order to catch its prey. Barracudas are also able to swim at over 40 km/h in short bursts which they do to overtake prey that may be trying to swim away. The barracuda is an opportunistic predator, feeding only on other animals in the surrounding water. The carnivorous barracuda primarily feeds on smaller species of fish, marine invertebrates, crustaceans and squid, which the barracuda usually ambushes with tremendous power. Due to the fact that barracudas can grow into very large sized fish, the barracuda has few natural predators in the ocean besides sharks and killer whales. Humans are also one of the barracuda's main predators as they are hunted and eaten all around the world. Although little is really known about the reproduction of the barracuda, female barracuda are known to spawn during the spring. The female barracuda releases her eggs into the water which are then fertilised externally. As with many fish species, once spawned, the barracuda mother has no interest in caring for her young. Today, due to its aggressive nature, the barracuda is one of the most dominant predators within its coastal environments and has even been known to act aggressively towards humans diving or snorkelling in the water.	dclm_baseline	{'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '22', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9261422157287598}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '13621', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:Z52D2QRRITXGDOXIF62445NAGFWKBQ3A', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1c15852a-53bd-4db6-8776-a06390d754bb>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 15, 0, 51, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '209.133.222.87', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VX5VXJ5UUMSKVVDCTGK6AVJE5ZBPQOTS', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:581a35c7-1d77-473a-836a-b589de20c937>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://a-z-animals.com/animals/barracuda/print/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f6a79f84-c9aa-4b27-b588-7f9385709fee>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '415', 'url': 'https://a-z-animals.com/animals/barracuda/print/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-91.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': '0.05481940507888794', 'original_id': '5b45767bcd6adb2138e0ce7d03f6f00914424d3b793165b62a5f8ec606457fc2'}

That metaphor might be a little more, well, non-sexually-indulgent if it wasn't 99% an excuse for teenage girls in dental floss posing in exaggerated fashion. As well, the story is crafted to exploit this stylistic choice to overtly and overly sexualize teenage girls. It's not like this is reality where cause and effect are beyond the show runners, or a fait accompli situation which they are making the best of. They chose to shape a world this way, rules and metaphors included. Re: Feminist Anime My point for Kill la Kill is that even with the abundance of crazy inappropriate fanservice, the female characters are treated with respect narratively; in that they have full personalities, satisfying character arcs and character development, plus complex relationships with each other. I can ignore the fanservice because in the end I am watching an interesting, crazy-as-balls show with two female leads driving the plot with no shitty romance or random dude showing up to save the day. I totally understand why people don't like it or feel uncomfortable watching it - and by no means am I defending it as high art or a piece of brilliant feminist fiction. But I have seen much worse drivel going out of it's way to overtly promote feminism and failing spectacularly, usually in the portrayal of female characters themselves. You know, the ones that have a STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN who wears pants and acts all tough and mean till the right love interest crosses her path. Not an anime but I nominate Moana highly!!

Re: Feminist Anime So I just want to clear out a thew things on my thoughts on kill la kill. I believe that the director of the series, hiroyuki imaishi did not put the "fanservice" in order to be sexulaiziton, but to put the idea's and concepts of the magical girl and high school battle genre's in an over the top way, as more of a celebration off all of the things that make the genre great. I believe so because A- The Rest of imaishi's anime presented an over the top representation of their genre's and concepts and B- that most of Imaishi's work weren't fanservice related and more epic scale's and over the top action. I do however understand why some people will find the fanservice weird and insulting, while I (and maybe othere's) see it as a thing that enhances the idea's of the shows, or just an obstacle that needs to be overcome to enjoy the series. But isnt that the beauty of art? That you can discuss the meaning of something in a show, and whether its appropriate and meaningful or insulting and unnecessary? And unlike shows like To-love ru, Highschool DXD and shows like it which is clear that there sexulaizing for money grabbing, in kill la kill its debatable and there are arguments for both sides of the coin. Also SaigonAlice, I really didn't intend for it to seem like I am obtuse, I am sorry if that's what you got from my comment, but I tried to make a kind of salty joke before explaining my real point about kill la kill. I do not support sexual assault in an way, be it children, teens or adults. I dont justify ephebeophlia, pedophillia or any type of philia. PS I dont even think the show is feminist, as in being a show about feminism, but I do think that the female cast are interesting characters. I dont want to leave a comment without contributing a show so, Kuzu no Honkai, while not about feminism, is still a show with great female characters that, while feel sexualized in the sex scenes, get the same amount of respect as the men, if not more in there character arc's. Also you might get some serious Juri vibes with Sanae.

Those are all highly sexualized and most of them are wall to wall with "comedically" objectifying, but still very glam objectifying imagery and scenarios. I love Re: Cutey Honey, but let's not pretend it's main job isn't to be sexy fun. Gurren Lagann took the Gainax Bounce to its extreme. And, yes, that's a case of having its cake and eating it too. If anything, he had a solid track record for putting over-sexualization at the fore in everything he'd directed. Which, can be an entirely valid choice. But, it's got to be owned, and it can and does affect other aspects of a show, including how genuinely empowering or respectful it is, or not, to certain portions of the audience or general population. I'm not against him, or particularly, any of those series, but Panty & Stocking, Re CH, and Gurren are all fanservice-heavy. Incredibly so. His followup to Kill la Kill was literally titled, Sex and Violence with Mach Speed.

And I assure you the word pedophillia can be safely applied to sexual assault of 15-17 year olds, no one in a more practical setting would correct me on this. There probably is a discussion worth having (and having again) re what kind of sexuality teenagers have, and if and how it should be expressed in entertainment, but both the authors and the audiences need to keep in mind that everything has potential benefits and potential costs. The cost of delving into teenage sexuality, something anime, as much of it is traditionally aimed at children-to-young-adults (it is, yo), does often explore, has to be weighed before production, but also, every time we engage as an audience. It'd be hypocritical of us, on an Utena board, to pretend it away or hand wave it off. And, it would probably be hypocritical of us, to pretend that it isn't sometimes a very useful and affecting component. Touga and his new father, in another anime, with the exact same animation, could've been a "romantic" scene. I wouldn't have put it past any number of productions. There is an argument that, in the movie, when Utena and Anthy lie down, and there's the sound of a zipper, that's a sexual cue too far, for a movie about fourteen year olds. Simultaneously, no fourteen year olds were actually involved in the process until the point of audience, and those fourteen year olds probably know that sometimes people lie down and a zipper comes undone, and that means something. We can't make this into a clear-cutting exercise, but we can't wave it off, either. My Brain is the Wakaba and Shiori Funtime Hour. With limited commercial interruption.

We can't make this into a clear-cutting exercise, but we can't wave it off, either. Age does not matter to me much in the context of a cartoon. Cartoon characters don't have ages, they don't exist, they are drawings. I know an artist who used to draw obvious lolicon and state THE CHARACTER IS OVER 18 in each description. It's common for ages to be changed when anime & manga are westernized, with 14yo's becoming magically 18 so it's more palatable to western sensibilities. What matters to me more is the portrayal and context. For example, there's a yaoi manga were the uke is 18, but he drawn in every way to evoke the 'shota' aesthetic, with a body like a little girl and giant sparkly eyes. On the other hand, you have a josei or shoujo manga where the character is 15, looks her age and there might be a sex scene with her boyfriend. I'm sorry but between those two cases I choose the 'underage' one. Back to Kill la Kill, if you dubbed it and changed their ages to 18 and said the school is a college, no one would ever know, it would look legit, and they could easily pass as 18. I think there is also the question of at what point does fanservice or male-gaze-y shots make something not feminist? Generally the only point against Kill la Kill is the fanservice. Yet you would find a series with no fanservice that treats women like dolls, or fancy lamps, or of no importance at all. Does one point negate the other? (Again, not really arguing here that Kill la Kill IS a feminist piece, just using it because I think given the nature of the series, is polarizing and a good point for argument) Re: Feminist Anime My big beef is this whole, sexualization of women's bodies, using women's bodies as statements or metaphors or ways to enhance motifs or meanings that have nothing to do with women's desires, goals, and struggles... is often just as much objectifying women's bodies as it is to just straight up use them to titillate male fans. You're using our bodies, or representations of them, as tools. If it was less common, then it wouldn't be a problem. But it's damn near everywhere in western comics and anime. Your point may be some grand existential metaphor or allegory for how you personally and usually quite narrowly define female empowerment, but it's women's bodies you are using. It's women's bodies being seen near CONSTANTLY in sexual contexts, having that be absorbed by male consumers. That kind of repeated exposure to one type of idealized woman and constantly being gratified from it is at least one place where entitlement stems. And in doing this, the insecurity of young female consumers isn't considered (is this what I'm supposed to be? Is this what people want?). Their comfort with with being portrayed as sexual, always always sexy no-matter what else, isn't considered. What they might like to see instead isn't considered. But those male consumers, who really really like the sexy? Well, this anime may be ABOUT some really deep, pro-women stuff, but here are some half-naked dolls and pillows for them to ejaculate over. Quite considerate. Surely their are other visuals you can use to tell your story, or impart your message. I know for a fact there are other bodies. Also, there is difference between portraying sex, or nudity, and objectification/sexualization. Someone else could go into better detail what those distinctions are and how to spot the difference, but most of my ability to do so honestly just comes from being a grown ass woman who identifies and experiences life as a woman, who has seen a lot of anime and is pretty familiar with the genre(s) shorthands. Re: Feminist Anime Hmm I don't know. What if manga industry is not entirely to blame for draconian beauty standards , fanservice and objectification/sexualization ? It seems like going against something way deeper than just corporate money.Honestly, to me it's a tough problem to tackle. Personally I tend to hate vulgar fanservice but... ughh, nope, really don't know. Re: Feminist Anime YamPuff wrote: Age does not matter to me much in the context of a cartoon.

I really wanted to see you adults as cool progressive role models. But I guess just like in the lyrics of Truth, just like what happened to the entire cast of Revolutionary Girl Utena (God, I can just taste that sweet irony) I as a teenager have been hugely disappointed by adults. Like Akio, you claim to be our sanctuary but you are no less of a poison than the rest. Thanks a lot. Re: Feminist Anime I wrote a considered and nuanced response to this exchange, focusing on how youth is portrayed in media, and what constitutes maturity, but then I realized: SaigonAlice wrote: I really wanted to see you adults as cool progressive role models.

You are entitled to your righteous anger, of course, but please understand that you shut down any dialogue this way. Learning and growing is a two way street, and if you care to try and reach any of us so called poisonous adults, you have to try and do better by us than comparing us to Akio. Believe it or not, a lot of us aren't very far from where you are, and at least remember our time as minors pretty clearly. You can demonize us based on age, but that will just incline us to do the same, and ends in arguments we've all no doubt had or seen before, that no one learned anything from. You're on an Utena forum. We are, most of us, radically progressive, and most of us have stood where you are, burning adults at the stake for things they clearly don't understand. Now we're the adults. We didn't stop feeling the way you do. We didn't drop our pink hats and outrage to start grabbing 14 year olds and shooting black people. You're a year from majority, is that your plan? Or might it be that things are complicated and adults aren't only sanctuary or sinner? Re: Feminist Anime YamPuff wrote: Uh nowhere did I say I was friends with this person?? Sorry, but if you're going to put words in my mouth so you can feel righteously outraged, then I'm out. God it was late at night and I was being overly emotional and presumptuous. I really went off my handle there. My apologies, though I still stand by the rest of the stuff I've said. Now that I'm a tad bit calmer I really think that in the first place, it's just arbitrary to tack the feminist label on anime, a mostly very Japanese genre of animation, if you're a westerner. What constitutes as ground-breaking and promoting gender equality in Japan could be absolutely normal and bog-standard writing back here in the West. Take, for example, Madoka - people here praised it as feminist and enlightened and yada yada but to the average Japanese feminist it'd probably just be moeblob torture porn (or even WORSE if you consider how Madoka tore down the Magical Girl genre, something that was originally empowering for Japanese girls). And yes, I do think the viewpoint of the intended audience i.e. Japanese people takes precedent here. In the end you can attach any buzzword to an anime, not just feminist but pro-LGBT / PoC Representation / blah blah blah but unless you know the sociocultural context it's a fundamentally a futile exercise. Labels SHOULD have a meaning, a weight to it, you can't just award it to anything vaguely women-friendly. Anyway everything I just said can be neatly defined by the concept of "Cultural Imperialism". Check the Wikipedia article out if you want, or not, your choice. Giovanna wrote: You are entitled to your righteous anger, of course, but please understand that you shut down any dialogue this way.

I really did not want to butt heads with you Giovanna, I really do, especially since I did not actually have you in mind as the "poisounous adults" when I crytyped wrote that post. But here we are. I'll promise to stay calm at least. So. There are some things that I think are worth discussing, certainly. Your favourite Pizza topping? Who was your first pokemon starter? Was the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb actually justified? Etc etc. But when it's something like pedophillia with real actual effects on real actual people, that's when it stops being a philosophical posturing exercise. It really shouldn't be a matter of debate to begin with. People are being hurt, and that's not okay. That's not okay at all. Gray moralities exist yes, but some things really are just black and white. Some things really are unforgivable, that are blatantly without ambiguity fucking shitty as hell. And fictional child porn actually does hurt people. I've had friends, who mind you are adolescent Asian girls, targeted by older White men. They have to honest to god fear for their life. Ever heard of the yellow fever craze? Yeah, that's VERY MUCH rooted in the Alt-Right Anime culture that shit like lolicon and high school girl animes are VERY MUCH a part of. Granted this is an extreme case - but it happens. And if we're talking about the home country of lolicon / shotacon / general content sexualising high schoolers then hooooooooo boy its bad. I'm just going to link to this article for this one (and finally, something more empirical). Ken Akamatsu, who lobbies lawmakers on behalf of the Japan Cartoonists Association, said a total ban on explicit content would damage the entire industry, making creators too scared to put pen to paper in case they risked breaking the rules.He said the characters were imaginary, so unlike real child porn, no one was hurt."Actual children suffering and crying is not acceptable. But manga doesn't involve actual children. So there are no actual victims," he said. Child welfare advocates disagree.Shihoko Fujiwara runs Lighthouse, a nonprofit for exploited children. She told CNN she once worked on a case where a predator used a cartoon to convince a child that sex abuse was normal. "So the pedophiles might bring the animation and say 'this is how you practice with adults,'" she said. While no link has been made between anime, manga and child abuse, Japan is facing a "serious" child abuse problem, according to a White Paper issued by e National Police Agency in March.The paper said the number of child abuse victims jumped 20% between 2011 and 2012, and the number of victims, arrests and cases are at their highest levels since they started compiling statistics in 1999. At the same time, the number of cleared child pornography crime cases rose to 1,596, the highest ever recorded, the paper said. Most -- 85% -- were Internet-related. The figures inspired the U.S. State Department to label Japan as an "international hub" for producing and trafficking child pornography. The U.S. report noted that no national law addresses the "unfettered availability of sexual explicit cartoons, comics and video games, some of which depicted scenes of violent sexual abuse and the rape of children."It added: 'While the NPA continued to maintain that no link was established between these animated images and child victimization, other experts suggested children are harmed by a culture that appears to accept child sexual abuse." Re: Feminist Anime I love the varied nature of responses in this thread, lately, though I agree with some and do, I admit, shudder at some others. But, I think both the more reductive we get with this, and the more defensive we get, the less we can actually healthily consider or discuss. And, these are things worth discussing, and worth considering, passionately, but fairly, and with room to expand our horizons if the situations calls for it. SaigonAlice wrote: And if we're talking about the home country of lolicon / shotacon / general content sexualising high schoolers then hooooooooo boy its bad.

Again, anglophone comics are not remotely free from pedophilic content or other sexualization of underage characters. Nor, is the rest English-language entertainment in other mediums. It's easy to play this off as a Japanese problem, or something unique to that wacky foreign land, but I think that's a mistake and essentially hypocritical.

But, the reason many readers from English-language countries and communities go straight to loli or whatever, is because that's what we see scanlated or posted repetitively online and it sticks in your head, not because it reflects general content overall.

Also hey, If you read my response to YamPuff I actually do talk about the cultural imperialism of the West, the unfair and one-sided Western lens! I'm well aware of this! But I'd like to double-take on that and say that there is a point in which you SHOULD be able to judge another culture and it's when there is actual, real live harm to people is being done and when there are parallels of that kind of shittiness between that culture and your own. Take the Dominican republic for example, where Haitans are repeatedly harrassed and deported. I had a Dominican friend that said to me that this I was applying a judgemental Wesetern lens, that in actuality the Haitians are showing up and taking the jobs of honest Dominicans. Obviously, that's nonsense. And why do we know its nonsense? Could it be that we've had similar things happen in America, in Europe, in Australia with the Mexicans and Syrians? It's because we have eerily similar awfulness happening where we live that we can actually identify it in other countries and then go further into condemning it. We may sound hypocritical doing it but hey, an issue is an issue - information should be spread around and something should be done about it regardless. Thinking about it, there really shouldn't be a dichotomy to this in the first place. We SHOULD be able to condemn both child pornography in America and Japan equally, the Whaling in Japan and the introduction of Whaling to Japanese by Americans, the classism of Caitlyn Jenner and the deadnaming of her by Transphobic assholes. etc. etc. People often think that if you're against a single issue you're not against the other, and that's bull.

The point I was trying to make, is that a cartoon character's age is a weird thing. Take this visual for example. Who do you think is the oldest? On the left is the mom of a teenage daughter, followed by an 18 year old boy and the last is a mere 16 year old girl. So I'm not going to clutch my pearls over what the author, or dubber, or translator says the age is, or changes the age to be. For me, it is about content and context. The 18 year old boy above is the star of a manga that, as I mentioned before, is meant to evoke the shota aesthetic even though is he '18' and it is a gross and problematic and, imo, pedophilic manga regardless of the character's 'age'. Anyways, apologies for continually going off the 'feminist anime' topic!

I mean I've obviously flown off the handle multiple times in this thread, resorted to personal insults and in general was over-emotional. I apologise for this. But at the same time, an issue like Pedophillia should be something that somebody will have to be confrontational about. People should feel uncomfortable about discussing it. And maybe other people can keep an impassive distance to an honest to god awful issue like this (and Kudos to them! It's admirable that they can compartmentalise their emotions so neatly like that. I'd kill for that much control.) but please forgive me if can't. Also, I didn't realise I was still being imperious or otherwise unpleasant after my exchange with YamPuff and If I was then I again I apologise. I'll promise to tone it down and I appreciate the patience you guys are showing me. YamPuff wrote: And I don't disagree with anything you said about child pornography being gross and wrong. The point I was trying to make, is that a cartoon character's age is a weird thing. Take this visual for example. Who do you think is the oldest? On the left is the mom of a teenage daughter, followed by an 18 year old boy and the last is a mere 16 year old girl. So I'm not going to clutch my pearls over what the author, or dubber, or translator says the age is, or changes the age to be. For me, it is about content and context. The 18 year old boy above is the star of a manga that, as I mentioned before, is meant to evoke the shota aesthetic even though is he '18' and it is a gross and problematic and, imo, pedophilic manga regardless of the character's 'age'. Anyways, apologies for continually going off the 'feminist anime' topic! That's a good point that I apologise for ignoring. And... I probably ignored it because I thought you were going for the weird age relativism argument some creeps on MMOs were expressing, (flagrantly offtopic stuff ahead) [where Age and Emotional/Sexual Maturity are relative and that international restrictions on what constitutes minor or adult were arbitrary. Which is admittedly, true. But their obvious intentions with such information were to hit on under 18 girls. And mind you this is the same crowd of people who refuse to believe Gender is a flexible social concept so uh. Dissonance much? ] But anyway something like that is definitely on the creator. Like, plastering the 2000 year old age label on a prepubescent looking Dragon God Girl (cringe) ? That's being facetious. Also I really appreciate you coming back to the discussion after my shitty outburst. Re: Feminist Anime YamPuff's argument reminded me of this image. I'd definitely be more concerned about someone who's attracted to the character on the right than someone attracted to the character on the left. Canon ages when it comes to drawn fictional characters are often kinda... questionable. On the other hand though even in real life there are minors who look mature for their age who still need to be protected from predatory people, and legal adults who look kind of underdeveloped and I think they'd find it pretty insulting to be told that anyone who's attracted to them is a pedophile. So it's kind of a confusing issue. I guess it's really mostly a problem if someone is actually fetishizing underage looking characters, even if they're using canon ages to deflect criticism. Like if they're exhibiting a pattern of being attracted to "loli" and/or "shota" type characters then yeah, they're probably a pedophile. I don't know how we can solve this problem though, aside from just avoiding creepy people like that-- but that isn't really a solution I guess. Banning those types of characters from pornographic works would probably be a good start though.

Latest News Feeling the Tiniest Stresses An extremely sensitive microscope can measure the strain in a material over just tens of atoms. The achievement, described in the 3 August issue of Physical Review Letters, will allow researchers to probe the stability and durability of their smallest designs and perhaps lead to better computer chips and other miniature devices. Devices called scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes have been used for more than 15 years to scrutinize the surfaces of materials. These instruments can reveal bumps and dents just a few individual atoms across. Many materials also vary in stiffness and flexibility over such minute lengths, but until now this information could only be obtained for centimeter-sized areas. A few years ago, however, Oleg Kolosov, a materials scientist at Oxford University, U.K., designed the Ultrasonic Force Microscope (UFM), which measures stiffness over atomic lengths with a tiny cantilever that taps rapidly against a material and measures how readily the material bounces back. To test the UFM's capabilities, Kolosov's collaborators at the Hewlett-Packard laboratories in Palo Alto, California, grew nanometer-sized islands of the semiconductor germanium on a silicon surface. The UFM's cantilever then scanned the surface, tapping away about three million times each second. The UFM data told the team that the germanium islands were less rigid than the stiff silicon surrounding them, which they expected. However, the UFM also revealed something new--the center of each germanium dot was considerably stiffer and also under more strain than the outer edges. The reason, says team member Stanley Williams of Hewlett-Packard, is because atoms squashed near the center don't have as much space to vibrate as those on the edges. Phaedon Avouris, a physicist at the IBM research center in Yorktown Heights, New York, believes that the technique will be useful to map out the elastic properties of tiny structures that are grown literally atom by atom. "Strain is a very important parameter," he says, and often determines a structure's stability and why it grows the way it does. Thus the UFM, he says, could help materials scientists design even more stable microscopic devices such as transistors and other micromachines.	mini_pile	{'original_id': '716981b177937c9b4793f682f2d5802cf458c3b531c16c1b6d4ddb430b7f1b43'}
