Evaluation of survival and metamorphosis of larvae of Caligus rogercresseyi (Boxshall and Bravo, 2000) (Crustacea, Copepoda) in Chile, depending on temperature, salinity and oxygen.
The present study assessed the percentage of survival and metamorphosis of larval stages of Caligus rogercresseyi (Boxshall and Bravo, 2000) nauplius I, nauplius II to and nauplius II to copepodite, conducting bioassays in triplicate with 50 larvae each, nauplius I or nauplius II, at temperature of 12 °C, 15 °C and 18 °C; salinity 20, 23, 25, 2729, 31, 33 and 35 g/L and oxygen saturation with ranges between 30-60%, 90-100% and 190 - 200%. Bioassays were performed in station Quillaipe of Fundación Chile, Puerto Montt, Chile. It is concluded that the temperature is inversely proportional to the time of metamorphosis and survival of the larvae of Caligus rogercresseyi . In salinity is observed that increased this, greater is the percentage of survival and metamorphosis is faster, while the larvae do not survive less than 20g/L. Oxygen saturation ranges indicate that the larvae do not survive at saturations between 30-60%, and it had no differences between 90-100% saturation and 190-200%. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9a19f2113fd73224a5c4ec69fd6a5711cf8892f9c0f4dfd560db1eff67469c07'} |

Al Khor, Qatar, January 30, 2013 (ASO) - Kirsten Wild (Argos-Shimano) sprinted to win the 96-kilometer Stage 2 of the Ladies' Tour of Qatar.
he 88 riders took off in windy conditions from the Camel Race Track just outside Doha for a journey to Al Khor and its waterfront promenade. After just 6.5 kilometers, China’s Jiang Xiu Jie (China Chongming-Giant) broke away and was rapidly caught by two other eager riders: Malgorzata Jasinska (MCipollini Giordana) and Audrey Cordon (France).
While the pack had to deal with a strong headwind, the gap increased from 2’ at kilometer 20 to a maximum 8’50 at the first intermediate sprint (kilometer 38.5) won by Jiang ahead of Jasinska and Cordon.
As the wind started blowing sideways on the race, nine riders powered away from the pack at kilometer 39, including five Orica-AIS riders, event leader Chloe Hosking (Hitec Products), and former winners of the race Kirsten Wild and Ellen Van Dijk (Specialized-lululemon).
At kilometer 46, the leading three could still enjoy a 4’40 advantage on the golden jersey group and 5’15 over a bunch including Wiggle-Honda's Giorgia Bronzini and Rochelle Gilmore and Lisa Brennauer (Specialized-lululemon). The second bonus sprint (kilometer 60) was again claimed by Jiang in front of Jasinska and Cordon, while the favorites’ group moved closer, 1’30 adrift.
The escapees were eventually caught at kilometer 63. Twelve competitors continued powering to the finish, enjoying a 1’ lead with 20 kilometers to go. After Cordon and Jiang dropped out of the front group, nine women could start considering the stage win.
One after the other, the Orica-AIS riders tried to break away but were caught on each attack, meaning the race would come down to a sprint.
Despite being the only member of her Argos-Shimano team in the group, Kirsten Wild captured the win ahead of Specialized-lululemon teammates Trixxi Worrack and Ellen Van Dijk. The victory was Wild's first this year and fourth in Qatar, making her the record holder in terms of stage victories, one better than Bronzini. Chloe Hosking captured the fourth spot to keep command of the overall standings. The Australian remains under pressure from compatriot Gracie Elvin (Orica-AIS), 6” adrift and Wild, who is only 9’’ behind. Hosking also leads the points and best young rider standings.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a copying apparatus having an automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as ADF) which feeds documents automatically to a document table, and a sorter which includes a plurality of bins and automatically sorts copied paper, more particularly, it relates to improvement of a multijob function.
2. Description of Related Art
In a copying apparatus having an ADF, various apparatus having a so-called multijob functions have been developed to save time required for the users to wait for their turn, for example, by automatically processing copying operations successively for document groups of respective plural users set on a plurality of document feed trays.
For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-200270, a multijob copying machine in which the documents are set on the document feed trays and are copied in reserved order of data for copying is disclosed.
Now, in the copying machine having such a multijob function, since processings are performed in reserved order or set order of the document independently of the users' urgent requirement, for example, when processing which is not in haste and not requiring copying immediately is reserved before those requiring a relatively urgent action, it is very inefficient as the former has to be processed first. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b4642cbf62dea9c950a65a5bb2062d12cb47560b312197a664ce78c0f1f5a52d'} |
While the United Nations has made global partnership a priority through the eight Millenium Development Goals, the reliance on oil by many countries has hindered things. The United Nations has failed to appropriately tackle it as countries often worry about themselves. The World Commission on Environment and Development was a noble, yet lackluster effort in 1987 to get the world to use less natural resources while also promoting partnership (El-Ashry 1). Fears of falling of taking a short-term economic loss however led many countries to back out of their pledge. The United Nations also dedicated a whole year to sustainability but powerful countries such as China and the United States continue to worry about their gains or losses in the oil market in a constant struggle for supremacy (El-Ashry 2). Through the use of a website and a survey, our group aims to inform people of the importance of the environment as it pertains to global partnership. For the action part of our project, we created a website and a survey, the purpose of which is to educate others on the problem at hand and to get them to think and take action. We have also provided them with ways to contact their local congressman in order to help spark change. While the action does seem small, in the technological era we live in, it has the potential to reach and influence many. We assume that many do not know or care about global partnership and have little interest in the environment. However, after looking at the information that our website provides and seeing the issues at hand participants in the survey have gained interest in the topic and understand the concept of global partnership when it comes to environment better than they had before. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '0ed1b19df4b5dd265a5821fe66ccae0c379f01e38a92e8fccc7a5e7fdfff278e'} |

Day 5: Is day 4 for the Kili adventure
February 6, 2019 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Again, why do people say Kilimandscharo does not involve any climbing? Today started off with climbing (!) Baranco wall 🗻🦸🏼♀️🥾. This was hard, especially if you are afraid of heights 😱 But due to Gaston I made it (he is very good at motivating people).
I was so relieved when I reached the top and enjoyed a wonderful view.
Next stop: Karanga Camp (3,995m) for lunch, then Barafu Camp (4,673m) for rest.

Letter to Representative McCarthy Supporting her Teachers at the Table Act
May 21, 2009
Dear Representative McCarthy:
On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the National Education Association (NEA), we would like to express our support for the underlying concept of the Teachers at the Table Act. We thank you for your leadership in introducing this important legislation, which we believe will help ensure that educators’ voices are heard as Congress reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
NEA has consistently expressed support for NCLB’s goals—closing achievement gaps, increasing student achievement, and ensuring that all students learn from qualified teachers. However, we believe major changes to NCLB are needed to ensure great public schools for every child, and we believe public school educators have a significant role to play in identifying needed changes.
As a result, we are pleased that your bill would create a teacher advisory committee to advise the Secretary of Education regarding implementation of ESEA. If educators are not “at the table” when decisions are made, then it becomes increasingly more difficult to incorporate their classroom experience into the school improvement process. Specifically, we support your proposal to ensure that the members of the Teacher Advisory Committee monitor the effects of the statute “on the ground, in classrooms, with a focus on children and families” and to provide periodic reports to Congress and the Secretary.
Thank you for leading this effort to ensure public school teachers a seat at the decision-making table.

Multiple Myeloma - Introduction
Myeloma, medically known as multiple myeloma, is a malignant cancer which originates from the plasma cells, a type of the white blood cells. The plasma cells are normally produced in the bone marrow and then transfered by lymphatic system. In multiple myeloma the production of plasma cells is excessive, they grow and multiply rapidly and uncontrollably causing tumor masses which lead to destruction of the bone marrow and the bone. Multiple myeloma cells may accumulate in many bones. There are several treatment modalities for multiple myeloma and they may even be combined in order to eradicate the disease or at least to alleviate the symptoms caused by the tumor.
The cause of multiple myeloma is not known but there are certain factors which may contribute to its occurrence. Namely, this malignant tumor is more frequent in obese people and those with history of 'monoclonal gammapathy of undetermined significance'. It also affects men more than women. Exposure to radiation and certain chemical may be the trigger for multiple myeloma. And finally, multiple myeloma is more frequent among African Americans and Asian Americans.
Symptoms of Multiple Myeloma
Initial stage of multiple myeloma is practically asymptomatic and in this stage the disease can be only found accidentally. After the tumor has grown to certain size it causes symptoms such as bone pain, osteoporosis, fatigue, anemia, frequent infections and weight loss. Pain in bones is caused by osteolysis. The growth of the tumor may also cause pathological fractures. Patients suffering from multiple myeloma have abnormal M-protein in the urine and its presence is actually symptomatic for the disease. Furthermore, destruction of the bones leads to hypocalcaemia which features with nausea, excessive thirst and urination, constipation, loss of appetite, fatigue and problems with thinking or confusion.
Treatment for Multiple Myeloma
Treatment for multiple myeloma includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, transplantation of the bone marrow and transplantation of stem cells. There are several more medications which have recently started to be administered in patients suffering from multiple myeloma. They include bortezomib, thalidomide and lenalidomide. Some symptoms of either tumor or therapy may be alleviated by corticosteroids.
Chemotherapy for multiple myeloma includes administration of chemotherapeutics which kill the tumor cells but also cause damage to healthy cells. Radiation therapy is applied only in localized form of the disease. It may help with pain caused by bone destruction and also induces re-growth of the affected bone. Immunotherapy includes medications which stimulate the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Bone marrow transplantation and stem cell transplantation can be applied only in selected patients.

Horace, in the Epodes, scoffs at it, but not without hor ror. Luca Signorelli and Raphael in their arabesques are deeply struck by it: Durer, defying and playing with it alternately, is almost beaten down again and again in the distorted faces, hewing halberts, and sus pended satyrs of his arabesques round the polyglot Lord's Prayer ; it takes entire possession of Balzac in the Contcs Drolatiqucs ; it struck Scott in the earliest days of his childish ' visions ' intensified by the axe- stroke murder of his grand aunt ; L. i. 142, and see close of this note. It chose for him the subject of the Heart of Midlothian, and produced afterwards all the recurrent ideas of executions, tainting Nigel, almost spoiling Quentin Durward— utterly the Fair Maid of Perth : and cul minating in Bizarro, L. x. 149. It suggested all the deaths by falling, or sinking, as in delirious sleep — Kennedy, Eveline Neville (nearly repeated in Clara Mo\vbray), Amy Robsart, the Master of Ravenswood in the quicksand, Morris, and Corporal Grace-be-here—compare the dream of Gride, in Nicholas Nickleby, and Dickens's own last words, on the ground, (so also, in my own inflammation of the brain, two years ago, I dreamed that I fell through the earth and came out on the other side). In its grotesque and distorting power, it produced all the figures of the Lay Goblin, Pacolet, Flibbertigibbet, Cockledemoy, Geoffrey Hudson, Fenella, and Nectabanus ; in Dickens it in like manner gives Quilp, Krook, Smike, Smallweed, Miss Mowcher, and the dwarfs and wax-work of Nell's caravan ; and runs entirely wild in Barnaby Rudge, where, with a corps de drame composed of one idiot, two madmen, a gentleman fool who is also a villain, a shop-boy fool who is also a black guard, a hangman, a shrivelled virago, and a doll in ribands carrying this company through riot and fire, till he hangs the hangman, one of the madmen, his mother, and the idiot, runs the gentleman-fool through in a bloody duel, and burns and crushes the shop-boy fool into shape- lessness, he cannot yet be content without shooting the spare lover's leg off, and marrying him to the doll in a wooden one ; the shapeless shop- boy being finally also married in two wooden ones. It is this mutilation, observe, which is the very sign manual of the plague ; joined, in the artistic forms of it, with a love of thorniness— (in their mystic root, the FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 165 This literature of the Prison-liouse, understanding by the word not only the cell of Newgate, but also and even more defi nitely the cell of the Hotel-Dieu, the Hopital des Fous, and the grated corridor with the dripping slabs of the Morgue, truncation of the limbless serpent and the spines of the dragon's wing.

The two frescoes in the colossal handbills which have lately decorated the streets of London (the baboon with the mirror, and the Maskelyne and Cooke decapitation) are the final English forms of Raphael's arabesque under this influence ; and it is well worth while to get the number for the week ending April 3, 1880, of Young Folks— ' A magazine of in structive and entertaining literature for boys and girls of all ages,' con taining ' A Sequel to Desdichado ' (the modern development of Ivanhoe), in which a quite monumental example of the kind of art in question will be found as a leading illustration of this characteristic sentence, " See, good Cerberus," said Sir Rupert, " my Mnd lias been struck off. You mast make me a hand of iron, one with springs in it, so that I can make it grasp a dagger." The text is also, as it professes to be, instruc tive ; being the ultimate degeneration of what I have above called the ' folly ' of Imnlioe ; for folly begets folly down, and down ; and what ever Scott and Turner did* wrong has thousands of imitators— their wisdom none will so much as hear, how much less follow ! In both of the Masters, it is always to be remembered that the evil and good are alike conditions of literal vision : and therefore also, in separably connected with the state of the health. I believe the first elements of all Scott's errors were in the milk of his consumptive nurse, which all but killed him as an infant, L. i. 19— and was without doubt the cause of the teething fever that ended in his lameness (L. i. 20). Then came (if the reader cares to know what I mean by Fors, let him read the page carefully) the fearful accidents to his only sister, and her death, L. i. 17 ; then the madness of his nurse, who planned his own murder (21), then the stories continually told him of the executions at Carlisle (24), his aunt's husband having seen them ; issuing, he himself scarcely knows how, in the unacountable terror that came upon him at the sight of statuary, 01— especially Jacob's ladder ; then the murder of Mrs. Swinton, and finally the nearly fatal bursting of the bloodvessel at Kelso, with the succeeding nervous illness, G5-G7— solaced, while he was being 'bled and blistered till he had scarcely a pulse left,' by that history of the Knights of Malta— fondly dwelt on and realised by actual modelling of their fortress, which returned to his mind for the theme of its last effort in passing away. 166 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. having its central root thus in the He de Paris — or historically and pre-eminently the ' Cite de Paris '—is, when understood deeply, the precise counter-corruption of the religion of the Sainte Chapelle, just as the worst forms of bodily and mental ruin are the corruption of love. I have therefore called it ' Fiction mecroyante,' with literal accuracy and precision ; according to the explanation of the word which the reader may find in any good French dictionary,1 and round its Arctic pole in the Morgue, he may gather into one Caina of gelid putrescence the entire product of modern infidel imagination, amusing itself with destruction of the body, and busying itself with aberration of the mind. Aberration, palsy, or plague, observe, as distinguished from normal evil, just as the venom of rabies or cholera differs from that of a wasp or a viper. The life of the insect and serpent deserves, or at least permits, our thoughts ; not so the stages of agony in the fury-driven hound. There is some excuse, indeed, for the pathologic labour of the modern nov elist in the fact that he cannot easily, in a city population, find a healthy mind to vivisect : but the greater part of such amateur surgery is the struggle, in an epoch of wild literary competition, to obtain novelty of material. The varieties of aspect and colour in healthy fruit, be it sweet or sour, may be within certain limits described exhaustively. Not so the blotches of its conceivable blight : and while the symmetries of integral human character can only be traced by harmonious and tender skill, like the branches of a living tree, the faults and gaps of one gnawed away by corroding accident can be shuffled into senseless change like the wards of a Chubb lock. V. It is needless to insist on the vast field for this dice-cast or card-dealt calamity which opens itself in the ignorance, money-interest, and mean passion, of city marriage. Peasants know each other as children— meet, as they grow up in test ing labour ; and if a stout farmer's son marries a Landless girl, it is his own fault. Also in the patrician families of the field, the young people know what they are doing, and marry ' Se dit par denigrement, d'un chretien qui lie croit pas les dogmes de sa religion.'— Fleming, vol. ii. p. 659, FICTION-FAIR AND FOUL. 167 a neighbouring estate, or a covetable title, with some concep tion of the responsibilities they undertake. But even among these, their season in the confused metropolis creates licentious and fortuitous temptation before unknown ; and in the lower middle orders, an entirely new kingdom of discomfort and disgrace has been preached to them in the doctrines of un bridled pleasure which are merely an apology for their pecul iar forms of illbreeding. It is quite curious how often the catastrophe, or the leading interest, of a modern novel, turns upon the want, both in maid and bachelor, of the common self-command which was taught to their grandmothers and grandfathers as the first element of ordinarily decent behav iour. Rashly inquiring the other day the plot of a modern story from a female friend, I elicited, after some hesitation, that it hinged mainly on the young people's ' forgetting them selves in a boat ; ' and I perceive it to be accepted as nearly an axiom in the code of modern civic chivalry that the strength of amiable sentiment is proved by our incapacity on proper occasions to express, and on improper ones to control it. The pride of a gentleman of the old school used to be in his power of saying what he meant, and being silent when he ought, (not to speak of the higher nobleness which bestowed love where it was honourable, and reverence where it was due) ; but the automatic amours and involuntary proposals of recent romance acknowledge little further law of morality than the instinct of an insect, or the effervescence of a chemical mixt ure. There is a pretty little story of Alfred de Musset's,— La Mouche, which, if the reader cares to glance at it, will save me further trouble in explaining the disciplinarian authority of mere old-fashioned politeness, as in some sort protective of higher things. It describes, with much grace and precision, a state of society by no means pre-eminently virtuous, or en thusiastically heroic ; in which many people do extremely wrong, and none sublimely right. But as there are heights of which the achievement is unattempted, there are abysses to which fall is barred ; neither accident nor temptation will make any of the principal personages swerve from an adopted 168 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. resolution, or violate an accepted principle of honour ; people are expected as a matter of course to speak with propriety on occasion, and to wait with patience when they are bid : those who do wrong, admit it ; those who do right don't boast of it ; everybody knows his own mind, and everybody has good manners. Nor must it be forgotten that in the worst days of the self- indulgence which destroyed the aristocracies of Europe, their vices, however licentious, were never, in the fatal modern sense, 'unprincipled.' The vainest believed in virtue; the vilest respected it. ' Chaque chose avait son nom,' l and the severest of English moralists recognises'the accurate wit, the lofty intellect, arid the unfretted benevolence, which redeemed from vitiated surroundings the circle of d'Alembert and Mar- montel.2 I have said, with too slight praise, that the vainest, in those days, ' believed ' in virtue. Beautiful and heroic examples of it were always before them ; nor was it without the secret sig nificance attaching to what may seem the least accidents in the work of a master, that Scott gave to both his heroines of the age of revolution in England the name of the queen of the highest order of English chivalry.3 It is to say little for the types of youth and maid which alone Scott felt it a joy to imagine, or thought it honourable to portray, that they act and feel in a sphere where they are never for an instant liable to any of the weaknesses which disturb the calm, or shake the resolution, of chastity and courage in a modern novel. Scott lived in a country and time, 1 M son nom,' properly. The sentence is one of Victor Cherbuliez's, in Prosper Randoce, which is full of other valuable ones.

FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 169 when, from highest to lowest, but chiefly in that dignified and nobly severe ' middle class to which he himself belonged, a habit of serene and stainless thought was as natural to the peo ple as their mountain air. Women like Hose Bradwardine and Ailie Dinmont were the grace and guard of almost every house hold (God be praised that the race of them is not yet extinct, for all that Mall or Boulevard can do), and it has perhaps es caped the notice of even attentive readers that the compara tively uninteresting character of Sir Walter's heroes had always been studied among a class of youths who were simply inca pable of doing anything seriously wrong ; and could only be embarrassed by the consequences of their levity or impru dence. But there is another difference in the woof of a WTaverley novel from the cobweb of a modern one, which depends on Scott's larger view of human life. Marriage is by no means, in his conception of man and woman, the most important busi ness of their existence ; '2 nor love the only reward to be pro posed to their virtue or exertion. It is not in his reading of the laws of Providence a necessity that virtue should, either by love or any other external blessing, he rewarded at all ; 3 and marriage is in all cases thought of as a constituent of the happiness of life, but not as its only interest, still less its only aim. And upon analysing with some care the motives of his principal stories, we shall often find that the love in them is merely a light by which the sterner features of character are to be irradiated, and that the marriage of the hero is as sub ordinate to the main bent of the story as Henry the Fifth's 1 Scott's father was habitually ascetic.

Nay, the fortunes of the person who is nominally the subject of the tale are often little more than a background on which grander figures are to be drawn, and deeper fates forth-shadowed. The judgments between the faith and chivalry of Scotland at Drum- clog and Both well bridge owe little of their interest in the mind of a sensible reader to the fact that the captain of the Popinjay is carried a prisoner to one battle, and returns a prisoner from the other : and Scott himself, while he watches the white sail that bears Queen Mary for the last time from her native land, very nearly forgets to finish his novel, or to tell us — and with small sense of any consolation to be had out of that minor circumstance, — that ' Roland and Catherine were united, spite of their differing faiths.' Neither let it be thought for an instant that the slight, and sometimes scornful, glance with which Scott passes over scenes which a novelist of our own day would have analysed with the airs of a philosopher, and painted with the curiosity of a gos sip, indicate any absence in his heart of sympathy with the great and sacred elements of personal happiness. An era like ours, which has with diligence and ostentation swept its heart clear of all the passions once known as loyalty, patriotism, and piety, necessarily magnifies the apparent force of the one re maining sentiment which sighs through the barren chambers, or clings inextricably round the chasms of ruin ; nor can it but regard with awe the unconquerable spirit which still tempts or betrays the sagacities of selfishness into error or frenzy which is believed to be love. That Scott was never himself, in the sense of the phrase as employed by lovers of the Parisian school, 'ivre d'amour,' may be admitted without prejudice to his sensibility,1 and that he never knew Tamor che move '1 sol e 1'altre stelle,' was the chief, though unrecognised, calamity of his deeply chequered life. But the reader of honour and feeling will not therefore suppose that the love which Miss Vernon sacrifices, stooping for an instant from her horse, is of less noble stamp, or less 1 See below, note, p. 25, on the conclusion of Woodstock. FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 171 enduring faith, than that which troubles and degrades the whole existence of Consuelo ; or that the affection of Jeanie Deans for the companion of her childhood, drawn like a field of soft blue heaven beyond the cloudy wrack of her sorrow, is less fully in possession of her soul than the hesitating and self-reproachful impulses under which a modern heroine for gets herself in a boat, or compromises herself in the cool of the evening. I do not wish to return over the waste ground we have trav ersed, comparing, point by point, Scott's manner with those of Bermondsey and the Faubourgs ; but it may be, perhaps, interesting at this moment to examine, with illustration from those Waver! ey novels which have so lately retracted the atten tion of a fair and gentle public, the universal conditions of ' style,' rightly so called, •which are in all ages, and above all local currents or wavering tides of temporary manners, pil lars of what is for ever strong, and models of what is for ever fair. But I must first define, and that within strict horizon, the works of Scott, in which his perfect mind may be known, and his chosen ways understood. His great works of prose fiction, excepting only the first half -volume of Wauerley, were all written in twelve years, 1814-26 (of his own age forty-three to fifty -five), the actual time employed in their composition being not more than a couple of months out of each year ; and during that time only the morning hours and spare minutes during the professional day. ' Though the first volume of Waverlcy was begun long ago, and actually lost for a time, yet the other two were begun and finished between the 4th of June and the first of July, during all which I attended my duty in court, and proceeded without loss of time or hindrance of business.' ' Few of the maxims for the enforcement of which, in Mod ern Painters, long ago, I got the general character of a lover of paradox, are more singular, or more sure, than the state ment, apparently so encouraging to the idle, that if a great 1 L. iv. 177. 172 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. thing can be clone at all, it can be clone easily. But it is in that kind of ease with which a tree blossoms after long years of gathered strength, and all Scott's great writings were the recreations of a mind confirmed in dutiful labour, and rich with organic gathering of boundless resource. Omitting from our count the two minor and ill-finished sketches of the Black Dwarf 'and Legend of Montr ose, and, for a reason presently to be noticed, the unhappy St. Bonan'x, the memorable romances of Scott are eighteen, falling into three distinct groups, containing six each. The first group is distinguished fro.ni the other two by characters of strength and felicity which never more appeared after Scott was struck down by his terrific illness in 1819. It includes Wauerley, Guy Mannering, The Antiquary, Rob Buy, Old Mortality, and The Heart of Midlothian. The composition of these occupied the mornings of his happiest days, between the ages of 43 and 48. On the 8th of April, 1819 (he was 48 on the preceding 15th of August) he began for the first time to dictate — being unable for the ex ertion of writing — The Bride of Lammermuir, 'the affection ate Laidlaw beseeching him to stop dictating, when his audi ble suffering filled every pause. "Nay, "Willie," he answered " only see that the doors are fast. I would fain keep all the cry as well as all the wool to ourselves ; but as for giving over work, that can only be when I am in woollen." ' From this time forward the brightness of joy and sincerity of in evitable humour, which perfected the imagery of the earlier novels, are wholly absent, except in the two short intervals of health unaccountably restored, in which he wrote Redgauntlet and Nigel. It is strange, but only a part of the general simplicity of Scott's genius, that these revivals of earlier power were un conscious, and that the time of extreme weakness in which he wrote St. Eonans Well, was that in which he first asserted his own restoration. It is also a deeply interesting characteristic of his noble nature that he never gains anything by sickness ; the whole 1 L. vi. 67. FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 173 man breathes or faints as one creature ; the ache that stiffens a limb chills his heart, and every pang of the stomach paralyses the brain. It is not so with inferior minds, in the workings of which it is often impossible to distinguish native from narcotic fancy, and throbs of conscience from those of indigestion. Whether in exaltation or languor, the colours of mind are always morbid, which gleam on the sea for the ' Ancient Mariner,' and through the casements on ' St. Agnes' Eve ; ' but Scott is at once blinded and stultified by sickness ; never has a fit of the cramp without spoiling a chapter, and is perhaps the only author of vivid imagination who never wrote a foolish word but when he was ill. It remains only to be noticed on this point that any strong natural excitement, affecting the deeper springs of his heart, would at once restore his intellectual powers in all their fullness, and that, far towards their sunset : but that the strong will on which he prided himself, though it could trample upon pain, silence grief, and compel industry, never could warm his imagination, or clear the judgment in his darker hours. I believe that this power of the heart over the intellect is common to all great men : but what the special character of emotion was, that alone could lift Scott above the power of death, I am about to ask the reader, in a little while, to ob serve with joyful care. The first series of romances then, above named, are all that exhibit the emphasis of his unharmed faculties. The second group, composed in the three years subsequent to illness all but mortal, bear every one of them more or less the seal of it. They consist of the Bride of Lammcrmuir, Imnhoc, the Monastery, the Abbot, Kenilwortli, and the Pirate.1 The marks of broken health on all these are essentially twofold— pre vailing melancholy, and fantastic improbability. Three of the talcs are agonizingly tragic, the Abbot scarcely less so in its main event, and Imnhoe deeply wounded through all its 1 ' One other such novel, and there's an end ; hut who can last for ever V who ever lasted so long V '—Sydney Smith (of the Pirate) to Jeffrey, December 30, 1821.

Caleb in the Bride, Triptolemus and Halcro in the Pirate, are all laborious, and the first incongruous ; half a volume of the Abbot is spent in extremely dull detail of Ro land's relations with his fellow-servants and his mistress, which have nothing whatever to do with the future story ; and the lady of Avenel herself disappears after the first volume, ' like a snaw wreath when it's thaw, Jeanie. ' The public has for itself pronounced on the Monastery, though as much too harshly as it has foolishly praised the horrors of Ravensicood and the nonsense of luanhoe ; because the modern public finds in the torture and adventure of these, the kind of excitement which it seeks at an opera, while it has no sympathy whatever with the pastoral happiness of Glendearg, or with the lingering simplicities of supeystition which give historical likelihood to the legend of the White Lady. But both this despised tale and its sequel have Scott's heart in them. The first was begun to refresh himself in the intervals of artificial labour on luanhoe. 'It was a relief,' he said, ' to interlay the scenery most familiar to me 1 with the strange world for which I had to draw so much on imagi nation.' 3 Through all the closing scenes of the second he is 1 L. vi. p. 188.

Imnhoe, T7ie Monastery, The Abbot and Kemlworth were all published between De cember 1819 and January 1821, Constable & Co. giving five thousand guineas for the remaining copyright of them, Scott clearing ten thou sand before the bargain was completed ; and before the Fortunes of Nigel issued from the press Scott had exchanged instruments and re ceived his bookseller's bills for no less than four 'works of fiction,' not one of them otherwise described in the deeds of agreement, to be pro duced in unbroken succession, each of them to fill up at least three volumes, but with proper saving clauses as to increase of copy money in case any of them should run to four ; and within two years all this anticipation had been wiped off by Pexenl of the Peak, Quentiii Durward, St. Itonaris Weil, and liedyauntlet. FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 175 raised to his own true level by his love for the queen. And within the code of Scott's work to which I am about to appeal for illustration of his essential powers, I accept the Monastery and Abbot, and reject from it the remaining four of this group. The last series contains two quite noble ones, Redgauntlet and Nigel ; two of very high value, Durward and Woodstock ; the slovenly and diffuse 2'everil, written for the trade ; the sickly Tales of the Crusaders, and the entirely broken and dis eased St. Pionans Well. This last I throw out of count alto gether, and of the rest, accept only the four first named as sound work ; so that the list of the novels in which I propose to examine his methods and ideal standards, reduces itself to these following twelve (named in order of production) : Wauerky, Guy Mannering, the Antiquary, Rob Roy, Old Mor tality, the Heart of Midlothian, the Monastery, the Abbot, the Fortunes of Nigel, Quentin Durward, and Woodstock.1 It is, however, too late to enter on my subject in this arti cle, which I may fitly close by pointing out some of the merely verbal characteristics of his style, illustrative in little ways of the questions we have been examining, and chiefly of the one which may be most embarrassing to many readers, the differ ence, namely, between character and disease. One quite distinctive charm in the Waverleys is their modi fied use of the Scottish dialect ; but it has not generally been observed, either by their imitators, or the authors of different taste who have written for a later public, that there is a differ ence between the dialect of a language, and its corruption. A dialect is formed in any district where there are persons of intelligence enough to use the language itself in all its fine ness and force, but under the particular conditions of life, climate, and temper, which introduce words peculiar to tho scenery, forms of word and idioms of sentence peculiar to the race, and pronunciations indicative of their character and dis position. i WoofJstoek was finished 20th March 1826. He knew then of his ruin ; and wrote in bitterness, but not in weakness. The closing pages are the most beautiful of the book. But a mouth afterwards Lady Scott died ; and he never wrote glad word more. I?6 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. Thus ' burn ' (of a streamlet) is a word possible only in a country where there are brightly running waters, 'lassie,' a word possible only where girls are as free as the rivulets, and 'auld,' a form of the southern 'old/ adopted by a race of finer musical ear than the English. On the contrary, mere deteriorations, or coarse, stridulent, and, in the ordinary sense of the phrase, ' broad ' forms of utterance, are not dialects at all, having nothing dialectic in them, and all phrases developed in states of rude employment, and restricted intercourse, are injurious to the tone and nar rowing to the power of the language they affect. Mere breadth of accent does not spoil a dialect as long as the speak ers are men of varied idea and good intelligence ; but the mo- ment^ the life is contracted by mining, millwork, or any op pressive and monotonous labour, the accents and phrases be come debased. It is part of the popular folly of the day to find pleasure in trying to write and spell these abortive, crip pled, and more or less brutal forms of human speech. Abortive, crippled, or brutal, are however not necessarily 'corrupted' dialects. Corrupt language is that gathered by ignorance, invented by vice, misused by insensibility, or minced and mouthed by affectation, especially in the attempt to deal with words of which only half the meaning is under stood, or half the sound heard.

The ' wot ' of Noah Claypole, and the other degradations of cockneyism (Sam Weller and his father are in nothing more admirable than in the power of heart and sense that can purify ^even these); the 'trewth' of Mr. Chadband, and ' natur ' of Mr. Squeers, are examples of the corruption of words by insensibility : the use of the word 'bloody ' in mod ern low English is a deeper corruption, not altering the form of the word, but defiling the thought in it. FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. Ill Thus much being understood, I shall proceed to examine thoroughly a fragment of Scott's Lowland Scottish dialect ; not choosing it of the most beautiful kind ; on the contrary, it shall be a piece reaching as low down as he ever allows Scotch to go — it is perhaps the only unfair patriotism in him, that if ever he wants a word or two of really villanous slang, he gives it in English or Dutch — not Scotch. I had intended in the close of this paper to analyse and com pare the characters of Andrew Fail-service and Richie Moni- plies for examples, the former of innate evil, unaffected by ex ternal influences, and undiseased, but distinct from natural goodness as a nettle is distinct from balm or lavender ; and the latter of innate goodness, contracted and pinched by cir cumstance, but still undiseased, as an oak-leaf crisped by frost, not by the worm. This, with much else in my mind, I must put off ; but the careful study of one sentence of Andrew's will give us a good deal to think of. I take his account of the rescue of Glasgow Cathedral at the time of the Reformation. Ah ! it's a brave kirk — nane o' yere whigmaleeries and cuiiiewurlies and opensteek hems about it — a' solid, weel- jointed mason-wark, that will stand as lang as the warld, keep hands and gunpowther aff it. It hadamaist a douncome lang syne at the Reformation, when they pu'cl doun the kirks of St. Andrews and Perth, and thereawa', to cleanse them o' Pap ery, and idolatry, and image-worship, and surplices, and sic- like rags o' the muckle Imre that sitteth on seven hills, as if ane wasna braid eneugh for her auld hinder end. Sae the commons o' Renfrew, and o' the Barony, and the Gorbals, and a' about, they behoved to come into Glasgow ae fair morning, to try their hand on purging the High Kirk o' Popish nick- nackets. But the townsmen o' Glasgow, they were feared their auld edifice might slip the girths in gaun through siccan rough physic, sae they rang the common bell, and assembled the train-bands wi' took o' drum. By good luck, the worthy James Rabat was Dean o' Guild that year — (and a gude ma son he was himsell, made him the keener to keep up the auld bigging), and the trades assembled, and offered downright battle to the commons, rather than their kirk should coup the crans, as others had done elsewhere. It wasna for luve o' 178 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. Paperie— na, na !— nane could ever say that o' the trades o' Glasgow — Sae they sune came to an agreement to take a' the idolatrous statues of sants (sorrow be on them !) out o' their neuks — And sae the bits o' stane idols were broken in pieces by Scripture warrant, and flung into the Molendinar burn, and the auld kirk stood as crouse as a cat when the flaes are kaimed aff her, and a'body was alike pleased. And I hae heard wise folk say, that if the same had been done in ilka kirk in Scot land, the Reform wad just hae been as pure as it is e'en now, and we wad hae mair Christian -like kirks ; for I hae been sae lang in England, that naething will drived out o' my head, that the dog-kennel at Osbaldistone-Hall is better than mony a house o' God in Scotland. ^ Now this sentence is in the first place a piece of Scottish history of quite inestimable and concentrated value. Andrew's temperament is the type of a vast class of Scottish— shall we call it ' soM-thistlian ' — mind, which necessarily takes the view of either Pope or saint that the thistle in Lebanon took of the cedar or lilies in Lebanon ; and the entire force of the pas sions which, in the Scottish revolution, foretold and forearmed the French one, is told in this one paragraph ; the coarseness of it, observe, being admitted, not for the sake of the laugh, any more than an onion in broth merely for its flavour, but for the meat of ii ; the inherent constancy of that coarseness being a fact in this order of mind, and an essential part of the history to be told. Secondly, observe that this speech, in the religious passion of it, such as there may be, is entirely sincere. Andrew is a thief, a liar, a coward, and, in the Fair service from which he takes his name, a hypocrite ; but in the form of prejudice, which is all that his mind is capable of in the place of religion, he is entirely sincere. He does not in the least pretend detes tation of image worship to please his master, or any one else ; he honestly scorns the ' carnal morality ' as dowd and fusion- less as rue-leaves at Yule ' of the sermon in the upper cathe dral ; and when wrapt in critical attention to the ' real savour o' doctrine' in the crypt, so completely forgets the hypocrisy of 1 Compare Mr. Spurgeon's not unfrequent orations on the same sub ject. FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. 179 his fair service as to return liis master's attempt to disturb Mm with hard punches of the elbow. Thirdly. He is a man of no mean sagacity, quite up to the average standard of Scottish common sense, not a low one ; and, though incapable of understanding any manner of lofty thought or passion, is a shrewd measurer of weaknesses, and not without a spark or two of kindly feeling. See first his sketch of his master's character to Mr. Hammorgaw, begin ning : ' He's no a'thegither sae void o' sense, neither ; ' and then the close of the dialogue : 'But the lad's no a bad lad after a', and he needs some carefu' body to look after him.' Fourthly. He is a good workman ; knows his own business well, and can judge of other craft, if sound, or otherwise. All these four qualities of him must be known before we can understand this single speech. Keeping them in mind, I take it up, word by word. You observe, in the outset, Scott makes no attempt what ever to indicate accents or modes of pronunciation by changed spelling, unless the word becomes a quite definitely new and scarcely writeable one. The Scottish way of pronouncing ' James,' for instance, is entirely peculiar, and extremely pleas ant to the ear. But it is so, just because it does not change the word into Jeems, nor into Jims, nor into Jawms. A mod ern writer of dialects would think it amusing to use one or other of these ugly spellings. But Scott writes the name in pure English, knowing that a Scots reader will speak it right ly, and an English one be wise in letting it alone. On the other hand he writes ' weel ' for ' well,' because that word is complete in its change, and may be very closely expressed by the double e. The ambiguous ' ?t's in ' gude ' and ' sune ' are admitted, because far liker the sound than the double o would be, and that in ' liure,' for grace' sake, to soften the word ; — so also ' flaes ' for ' fleas.' 'Mony ' for ' many ' is again posi tively right in sound, and ' neuk ' differs from our ' nook ' in sense, and is not the same word at all, as we shall presently see. Secondly, observe, not a word is corrupted in any indecent haste, slowness, slovenliness, or incapacity of pronunciation. There is no lisping, drawling, slobbering, or snuffling : the 180 FICTION— FAIR AND FOUL. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'ethicsofthedust00ruskuoft_9', 'collection': 'English-PD', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '1891.0', 'title': 'The ethics of the dust : fiction, fair and foul ; the elements of drawing', 'creator': 'Ruskin, John, 1819-1900', 'language': 'English', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '6941', 'token_count': '9352', '__index_level_0__': '26564', 'original_id': '84071f6f5d731f5097b488ab1233ea54819fd48ba545127dd23f064a3623bbe1'} |
In southern Peru lies the Nazca Lines. These lines were etched into the ground years ago. The lines illustrate drawings of birds, spider, and even a humanoid. They can only be seen from a high up distance like that of a helicopter or plane. Why did the people who carved this into the land make them so huge where they aren’t visible?
On February 1st, 2018 a truck driver ruined 3 of the geoglyphs by driving into and over the lines. These lines have endured 2000 years here on earth and now they have been scarred.

I think you'll have to work this out for yourself. What errors are you getting? What does it say?
4. Mar 2, 2007 #3
I think it said that the int Employee:GetAge() from:
int Employee::GetAge()
return Age;
was overloaded or some kind of function error. The same errors showed up for the yearsofservice and salary.

There ARE two definitions of SetAge and one actually sets the salary! I'd pay attention to the compiler errors and fix them one by one. You are also having problems because you are declaring functions as 'const' and then not implementing them as const.

Whenever I'm out and about and see a Mennonite family eating out or shopping (and can I just say that I'm always very impressed by how well-behaved the children are in these scenarios), I always wonder if they think I'm dressed like a hussy. I'm a fairly conservative dresser but not when compared with a woman wearing a hat, full-length loose-fitting dress, and long sleeves. I'm not trying to imply that Mennonites are judgemental...I'm just curious.
Just like I've always wondered what Laura Ingalls Wilder would think of Wal-Mart.

‘I Am Not An Easy Man’ is just a middle-tier film
Netflix makes a bold statement with its new hybrid-genre movie Je ne suis pas un homme facile (I Am Not An Easy Man). A gender-bending, farcical romantic comedy, the movie is set in an alternate universe run by women in which gender roles are completely reversed. In what Netflix describes as a “shameless chauvinist getting a taste of his own medicine,” Christophe (Pierre Benezit) must come to terms with this new world after hitting his head and awakening from a coma, all while falling in love with bullheaded writer Alexandra (Marie-Sophie Ferdane). The movie is written and directed by French filmmaker Eleonore Pourriat, who has made gender-bending movies with similar themes in the past.
Photo from IMDb.
The intended feminist message of the movie comes through clearly and adeptly. By employing some of the most extreme social gender stereotypes possible, the director unmasks their truly problematic nature of them. Her technique not only allows but also actually calls for a thorough examination of entrenched notions of gender and prescribed behavior in society.
The film does not try to make a statement about how all men and all women behave, but it effectively addresses the preconceived biases many people hold. In this way, the value of the film is derived from its provocativeness, and the way it forces audiences to question what they are watching.
Why does a woman holding a position of power, wearing a suit, drinking beer or making casually sexist statements strike viewers as absurd? Why do blatant dismissal and objectification of men seem so strange? The most compelling scene in the film is a discussion in which a central thematic question is posed: Shouldn’t men be grateful for their special treatment in society, like receiving gifts and having doors held open for them? This scene underscores a lack of understanding between the genders in the current dialogue.
The film employs dark but easily digestible comedy, striking a balance between well-scripted, witty dialogue and cheap, slapstick humor. Pourriat’s approach to comedy focuses on seemingly miniscule facets of the gender dynamics inherent within social interactions. Benezit’s acting thrives in this comedic environment, as he awkwardly tries to avoid but eventually falls in sync with the new social rules around him. Vincent Elbaz adds a hilarious element in his portrayal of Christophe’s best friend.
Overall, the movie suffers from a general predictability that limits what could have been one of Netflix’s best movies yet. The story follows a generic rom-com narrative arc, and the directing, editing and cinematography all reflect the genre’s familiar tropes. The premise, though well-executed, does not offer enough originality for the movie to warrant praise on that aspect alone; after all, there are plenty of other films with similar concepts. Within the first few scenes, the audience is able to predict the majority of the revelations that the characters will have in the film’s flipped world.
Despite the predictability, the movie is definitely worth watching. As a whole, Pourriat makes important contributions to the discussion of gender and discrimination in the 21st century, delivered in a comedic, palatable package. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9305723309516908}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '55552', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:WR56MFEAOOWPMH4EGWTG2AVFX64AVS3C', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:90069b83-ef8d-49cb-a62b-5baf92a94868>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 10, 23, 26, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '67.227.130.47', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:G26J7UPSJQIY7QVZBQWVIOAVV6M55QYG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d53532d5-b6e3-429f-a257-12c31fa1d7ef>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://dailytrojan.com/2018/04/19/i-am-not-an-easy-man-is-just-a-middle-tier-film/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:9c8740a7-e063-419a-a125-1b8a9f8fdc64>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '519', 'url': 'http://dailytrojan.com/2018/04/19/i-am-not-an-easy-man-is-just-a-middle-tier-film/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-101-219-50.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.5997335910797119', 'original_id': 'c629a1f4ceeb270d548618a46deda2601e7de54c3a0917c7dbe68143f64459fc'} |

A random thought I had yesterday...
...we Virginians are obsessed with capitals.
You dangle a capital city in front of us and we'll do just about anything. Think about it. We fought Hamilton tooth and nail on all his crazy plans, and what did it take to completely capitulate? A capital on the Potomac. You know Hamilton was laughing all the way home from that dinner party.
And in 1861 we resisted secession in vote after vote, but when Jeff Davis started checking out the real estate market in Richmond we bolted (this was actually spun as a reward ex post, but you know someone was dropping hints earlier).
And we've had three state capitals: Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Richmond. Everyone wants in on the capital action apparently, although it never made it that far off the James River. Other states apparently have had a string of capitals as well, but I think a lot of these don't count. Many were just jumps to smaller cities when war threatened, and some were cases where capitals jumped around in underpopulated territories that were just trying to nail down their real population center.
But what established colony moves a capital after almost 100 years of operation, and then again about 100 years after that - no threat of war or anything, just packing it up and moving on? This isn't a backwater like old-time Alabama or California, and it's not a case of schizophrenic sovereignty issues like Texas.
Add on top of that that we were enticed by a national capital not once, but twice, and you start to realize we've got real issues with this.
1. Two things:
First, I'm confused by your characterization of Hamilton's plans as "crazy". I know that as a Virginian you are inclined to side with Jefferson, but you might also consider George Washington's convictions. Hamilton's plans secured the good credit of the United States abroad, fueled a robust and expansive industrial economy founded on free labor in the north, and imposed the first Pigovian tax in American history, on whiskey. The alternative was to default on the war debt, not have a central bank, and rely on slavery-based agricultural production. I think it's obvious how fortunate we are that things went the way they did.
Second, I'm confused by the apparent belief that states choose "population centers" as capitals. It seems to me, on the contrary, that states often choose geographically central backwater towns, which then become more populous by virtue of being the state capital. How many people do you know who live in Frankfort, Kentucky? I think Richmond is an exception to the general rule.
1. I'm actually quite a fan of Hamilton's. Just making a broader point in a semi-serious way.
Jefferson often got the big picture stuff much more right than he did the details.
2. I think that's a good characterization. Something that I think is seldom appreciated about Jefferson is his pragmatism. Despite his taste for absolute principles in his rhetoric, when he held responsibility he was willing to make compromises. Once he was president, he tacitly accepted all sorts of policies that he had denounced as "tyrannical" and "aristocratic" during the 1790s. He didn't believe that the constitution gave him the authority to make the Louisiana Purchase, but he did it anyhow. I think it's a shame that this isn't thought of as part of his legacy, along with the lofty words of the Declaration, and the secularism.
2. Having the capital quite near to Virginia made a lot of sense at the time given the mental framework of those involved.

The rush of the world's largest corporations to squeeze car fuel out of food is an effort to force industrialization on the tropics and end small family farming in the industrialized North.
Converting corn and sugar cane into ethanol, and oil palm and soybeans to diesel fuel, is bad for nature and society. Such a scheme invigorates feudalism, extends the use of petroleum and waters down the moral responsibility of corporations to stop causing global warming.
Corporations -- especially those manufacturing cars, selling petroleum and industrializing agriculture -- hype farm fuels to confuse the public about global warming. They even persuade the political classes of the world to subsidize them. In 2007, the subsidies for ethanol and crop diesel in the United States rose to more than $7 billion.
But these giant farm companies do cause global warming. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization documented in 2006 that the livestock industry alone is responsible for 18 percent of the greenhouse gases raising the temperature of the planet.
Despite global warming, such countries as Russia, the United States and Arctic nations are gearing up for another massive plunder of that ice region for oil.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy reported in May 2007 that the world's energy use, especially petroleum, is likely to rise by 57 percent between 2004 and 2030. Renewable energy, including farm fuels, will be about 9 percent of what the world will use by 2030.
The obsessive addiction of industrial culture to petroleum explains why the world is ignoring global warming. U.S. farm fuel boosters use the slogan that agricultural oil refineries will make the country less dependent on the Arabs' petroleum.
Yet the effort of extracting oil from food is wrong because farmers in the United States and Europe overproduce crops on vulnerable land.
Second, agricultural fuels are ushering another violent season for deforestation and feudalism, especially in the tropics.
Indonesia is accelerating its palm oil plantations by drying and burning its peat lands, blighting the lives of hundreds of thousands of small farmers who complain of becoming "ghosts" on their own land, the spines of the oil palm piercing them nearly to death.
Draining and burning peat lands is responsible for the release of vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.
In Latin America, Asia and Africa, peasants and indigenous people are forced off their lands or become slaves in big oil palm and soya plantations. Powerful corporations are dividing the land of these countries, eyeing the land's potential for growing crops for oil. This new scramble for land threatens the Amazon and other forests with destruction, while impoverishing hundreds of millions of Africans, Asians and Latin Americans.
Brazil brags the Amazon will make her the Saudi Arabia of "green" energy. Paraguay is dreaming of being the Kuwait of farm diesel.
Brazil backs up her hubris with land; growing soya on more than 40 million acres of land and setting aside an additional 160 million acres for this diesel crop. Brazil also cultivates ethanol crops on more than 12 million acres, while planning to expand the land devoted to sugar cane to more than 60 million acres. Most of this land comes from pastureland and from burning the Amazon, a catastrophe for millions of Brazilians and a calamity for global warming, neutralizing any benefits of ethanol and farm diesel.
Brazil's rapaciousness is no different from that of any other producer of farm fuels.
The rush for green energy in the United States forces small family farmers out of agriculture; the petroleum-hooked agribusinesses building animal factories and ethanol refineries on their land.
Energy farming is deception, making the warming of the Earth worse while threatening small-scale farming with extinction.

Compete Well - 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time (C)
How far can encouragement go? St. Paul's encouragement in His letters helped to shape the Church into what it is today. Despite the odds or what obstacles the early followers of Jesus had in front of them, the words of St. Paul echoed in their minds in order to help give them the strength to travel uphill in an upwards battle of faith. His words ring true even to this day. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9553599953651428}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '133306', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:J3OGDD4W2NSRFPC4ELKNRMW2G7YKIIXL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:0e1d4cd9-8e19-4ea9-b6cd-5de8f9bdca08>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 18, 4, 36, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.164.147', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GNQTV3WYLE2Y47XR4KPW4IIQE6BFGSNG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:3457ac1e-a50d-4419-a8eb-2ae2bba43409>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.burningstrength.com/2016/09/compete-well-26th-sunday-of-ordinary.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:96eb6e1f-17f7-4a21-806a-eac8ce25bcda>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '80', 'url': 'http://www.burningstrength.com/2016/09/compete-well-26th-sunday-of-ordinary.html', '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-10-67-67-30.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': '0.020240068435668945', 'original_id': '1b545253669ebf594852536866c7a25eada7dcfbbbd285f16614a0318e9e18f6'} |

Fentanyl Is Not a Nuke, and Drug Dealers Are Not Terrorists
Could fentanyl be a weapon of mass destruction? That was the prompt for a Department of Homeland Security memo that became public in April, exploring the question of whether the prescription painkiller should be treated like the functional equivalent of a suitcase nuke "when certain criteria are met." What seems absurd—powerful black-market fentanyl has been blamed for a spike in overdose deaths, but it's not exactly sarin gas—actually hews to a perverse bureaucratic logic.
Or as WMD expert Dan Kaszeta told Task & Purpose, the publication that initially acquired the memo: "It's an interdepartmental play for money, that's all it is."
This is far from being an isolated incident. Indeed, it's a safe bet that any expansion of law enforcement powers authorized in the name of national security will soon be used in the war on drugs. We are on the verge of being overrun by vice cops in olive drab cosplay, and our lawmakers are accelerating the process under the guise of protecting Americans from war and terror.
The biggest proof point for that claim has been the evolution of the PATRIOT Act, passed during the panic immediately after the terror attacks of September 11.
As far back as the law's 2005 reauthorization, Sen. Russ Feingold (D–Wis.) raised this objection to so-called sneak and peek warrants under Section 213 of the law: "Don't be fooled for a minute into believing that this power is needed to investigate terrorism or espionage. It's not. Section 213 is a criminal provision that could apply in whatever kind of criminal investigation the government has undertaken. In fact, most sneak and peek warrants are issued for drug investigations."
He was right. Sneak and peek is exactly what it sounds like. It allows law enforcement to enter your property, search your belongings, and even take stuff—all without notifying you. The law does not require that police prove there is a national security interest; it can be used in any federal investigation, including those for misdemeanors. When it was initially debated, however briefly, the justification for such broad discretionary powers came down to "trust us." The notion was that such warrants would be issued only in rare ticking-time-bomb situations or other emergency scenarios where secrecy was needed to forestall great harm. In fact, such warrants are employed routinely in drug cases—thousands have been granted with minimal judicial oversight—and only rarely to pursue actual terrorists like those who executed the 9/11 attacks.
Flash forward to 2019, and sneak and peek is back in the news. The hidden cameras that were installed at the Orchid of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida—the ones that caught New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft receiving a massage and possibly other services—were placed there, without the knowledge of the spa owners or the people being filmed, under PATRIOT Act authority.
In the end, there were not even any sex trafficking charges filed in that case, much less any charges related to national security. Powers granted under the specter of a national existential threat are now used in the course of ordinary vice busts, targeted not at terrorist masterminds but at stoners and septuagenarian horndogs.
Or consider the Stingray, a device that lets authorities gather information about cellphone use without the user's permission or knowledge. The initial development and approval of the technology were entirely under the auspices of national security—those were the terms under which the Federal Communications Commission approved it. The suitcase-sized Stingray simulates a cell tower and makes authorities privy to phone calls and text messages. But the utterly unsurprising consequence of law enforcement officers having a powerful new tool to aid their terrorism investigations was that they used it to aid all sorts of investigations.
And—this is important—the courts didn't stop them. Judges rarely throw up roadblocks to this kind of abuse, which is unfortunate, because they are pretty much the last and only line of defense.
For the most part, law enforcement doesn't even need to bother to make the case that the drug trade is connected to actual national security. They simply take the powers granted to them for defense reasons and run with them.
But Donald Trump's administration has figured out an even faster method than gradually assimilating powers intended for terror investigations into the everyday police state: Rather than push the envelope of the existing law, just redefine the terms. Which brings us back to fentanyl as a WMD. If everything is a matter of national security, then every incursion of due process, civil liberties, and privacy is easily justified.
In March, Trump announced that his administration would consider designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations. The notion that the national security of a global superpower rests on the interdiction of marijuana, meth, and opioids would be laughable if it weren't taken so seriously by the powers that be in Washington. But many politicians have strong incentives to go along with the farce, because they want to be seen as either tough on terror, tough on crime, or friendly to the powerful law enforcement lobby.
The "president should simply declare the human trafficking cartels who are profiteering off the illegal immigration surge to be terrorist organizations and treated accordingly," said Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government, in a statement about the "severe" conditions at the border. "It is now endangering our national security, and those in Mexico who are facilitating the trafficking need to be dealt with the full force of the law." This followed a previous statement in which Manning said "Congress has failed to adequately secure the border, leaving President Trump with little option but to use Congress' limited grant of authority to reprogram uncommitted military construction funds to build the wall and other fencing needed to keep drugs, gangs and human trafficking at bay."
Again, this is nothing new. In 2018, Drug Enforcement Administration Acting Administrator Uttam Dhillon called the drug trade a "significant threat" to national security. But from the very early days of the war on drugs, the rhetoric of national strength has been interwoven with justifications for incursions on liberty.
At the root of all of this is the idea, shared by many Americans, that if a problem is bad enough, the waiving of privacy protections and other constitutional safeguards is justified. It's the same sentiment that Trump and Barack Obama before him displayed when they chose to disregard congressional authority in their decision making about immigration and border control. It's the animating idea behind the Green New Deal and every call for widespread crackdowns on gun ownership after a shooting. It's also the justification for restrictions on trade, from steel to sugar, in the name of self-sufficiency and American autonomy.
To be clear: One can believe that drug interdiction is an important national priority (I don't) and that citizens should be willing to bear great costs to slow or stop the flow of narcotics into the country (I don't) without thinking that the special exceptions to civil liberties granted to go after terrorists in the wake of 9/11 should be applied to random Mexican drug dealers.
It is immodest to name a maxim after oneself. Ideally one's friends—or more likely one's enemies—should do it. But sometimes shorthand is useful, so I'd like to propose we call this Mangu-Ward's Law: Policies designed to stop terrorists usually end up being used to try to stop people from getting high or getting laid.
NEXT: David Bergland, R.I.P.
1. Want to bring down fentanyl demand? Let doctors prescribe the opiates people actually need without the govt. getting up their ass about it.
1. Very true. Making drugs legal would wipe out the black market also.
2. And then develop a drug and process to help people beat the dependency when they decide they want that. You’d have identified most every addict and eliminated every drug cartel in a month (sure, the criminal outfits might still be there but they wouldn’t be drug cartels because there would be no viable market for drugs).
1. Drug addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Look it up.
Got a cure for PTSD?
1. Death?
And given that “trauma” has now been redefined to include any unpleasant or sad experience, then we all have PTSD. Can we now blame every human action on that?
Or maybe PTSD and every other human affliction and failing all derive from the same thing: our brains are fundamentally flawed, and life is not fair.
1. PTSD is a real thing, though, even if some people abuse the idea of trauma (probably because they want to attribute every human action to it; a new version of false consciousness).
1. Actually, when one is leaving the military, you are essentially offered a smorgasbord of maladies for which to garner compensation. PTSD is one of them; you can be “diagnosed” even if you never left a desk job.

“Drug addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Look it up.”
You made the claim. Back it up. Or STFU.
3. Absolutely. We Brits can it a ‘stiff upper lip’.
Americans call it ‘shit happens – get over it’
PTSD is a first world problem. Starving people in Africa and other third world countries are far more worried about where there next meal is coming from or will this be the day another one of their children will die.
The way to get over your bad days is to put your life into perspective and compare it to the poorest people in the world. Most people blow their problems way out of proportion.
Get over yourselves and consider how lucky you really are.
4. Got a cure for PTSD?
2. You have to wonder why some much effort can be put into stopping drugs and not in helping people with drug addictions. Ron Paul once asked “if heroin was legal would you want to shoot up?”. I certainly would not. Maybe before we give up our freedoms its time to ask ourselves is this the way we want to address addiction. Maybe its better to give people a prescription for fentanyl or heroin and then figure how to get the person to need less.
1. I think anyone who starts shooting up drugs which are provably going to shorten your life dramatically and cost you every penny you have are beyond stupid. This is a self inflicted problem and these people deserve little sympathy. We all have problems, but the vast majority of us don’t turn to heroin or cocaine or any of the other multitude of addictive, life destroying narcotics Why should tax payers money go towards curing these people who quite often relapse and return to their habit. Let them kill themselves but I disagree with giving these people any of my sympathy.
1. I completely understand. You’re simply reserving your abundance of sympathy for those more deserving!
The truth is, addiction afflicts the weak – never the strong. From the outset addicts make a conscious choice to become addicts and destroy themselves, whether they shoot smack, booze it up, compulsively masturbate, spend, eat, beat their wives and kids, etc. The root cause is weak character and cowardice when it comes to facing life’s myriad problems. The means of self destruction is entirely irrelevant.
Similarly, EVERY choice we make in life rests solely on our own shoulders. When we screw up, we should not only face our problems alone, as sovereign individuals – we should completely shun empathy and compassion, altogether. Why? THEY WEAKEN US ALL!
Everything the government touches turns to feces, so the government shouldn’t be involved in ANY aspect of the drug economy, regardless of whether its intentions are to help or harm legal or illicit drug users.
Unless you include alcohol.
3. There are no drugs that will “provably shorten your life … and cost you every penny you have”. The poison is in the dose and it is possible to use any drug responsibly. You don’t hear about the responsible users because they, obviously, never make the news. Drug use is certainly a risky behavior, but it is not a guaranteed path to self-destruction, so you should reserve your blanket vilification for a different group, like those who run for public office.
1. There is _one_ drug that is so addictive that few people use it without becoming addictive, that shortens your life, that users will continue to use it even though they are dying from its effects, and that some people I know will buy before they pay their heating bill – in a northern Michigan winter.
It’s cigarettes.
But alcohol is typical of how people who do not have a mental defect that encourages addiction will approach most drugs when there is no concern about being busted for them: they will use it now and then, not to excess except possibly at first when they don’t know how they react to it, and not when they expect being impaired to be a problem. OTOH, when Prohibition is a factor, they’ll use up all they have as fast as possible – you can still see this with alcohol at frat parties and teenage parties.
1. few people use it without becoming _addicted_
3. Bundling the two is the administrative equivalent of an American heiress marrying an English lord with a crumbling manor house.
Someone watched Smithsonian Channel’s Million Dollar American Princesses.
Look, all law enforcement officials are asking is for the basic tools they need to fight for more power.
1. Cuz the purpose of law enforcement is more law enforcement.
1. The purpose of bureaucracy is more bureaucracy. Law enforcement is just a specific example of it.
1. When you think about it, all bureaucracy is ultimately law enforcement. Defy the bureaucracy, face the state agent’s weapon.
1. Let’s simply all of that: All Government is Force.
4. I’ve said many times that the War on Drugs is not a metaphorical war. War is a response to an existential threat and if the nation is at stake there’s no time for such niceties as Constitutional protections and everybody accepts that certain infringements on our liberties might be necessary. Unfortunately, war is the health of the state and a perpetual state of war is the result. And it’s downright unpatriotic to whine about your rights when there’s a war going on, don’t you know. So accept that things are only going to get worse and only a few frogs are going to notice that the water in the pot seems to be getting hotter – if you can accept the TSA groping you at the airport, you can accept the random roadside cavity searches. And you will.
5. Progs are addicted to government.
Today, on June 8, 1949, Orwell’s 1984 was published.
Happy Birthday 1984 !!!
Could the Department of Homeland Security be a weapon of mass destruction?
7. It bears repeating that this is the natural outcome of a coercive monopolistic government, which is no more than a bureaucracy of thugs who hate competition, and like all bureaucrats, seek to expand their prestige and ego by expanding their bureaucracies.
Too many people blame government ills on a few bad actors. Even those who recognize the evil inherent in coercive monopolistic government make excuses when it comes to their pet projects. It’s almost universal to laugh private roads, even though private roads were the norm for a long time.
Then you mention private police and courts, or even private prosecution for criminal activities, and even most so-called libertarians write you off as a loon.
But but but, they say, and proceed to tell you how much they hate government, except for this, that and the other.
8. Addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Look it up.
1. “Addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Look it up.”
You made the claim. Back it up.
2. It is a symptom of PTSD, but not everyone who is addicted has PTSD.
Y is contained in X does not mean Y is the same population as X.
9. “…exploring the question of whether the prescription painkiller should be treated like the functional equivalent of a suitcase nuke “when certain criteria are met.” ”
Translated from Politico:
“Exploring all sorts of absurd ways to increase our budget”
10. [Blockquote]It is immodest to name a maxim after oneself. Ideally one’s friends—or more likely one’s enemies—should do it. But sometimes shorthand is useful, so I’d like to propose we call this Mangu-Ward’s Law: Policies designed to stop terrorists usually end up being used to try to stop people from getting high or getting laid.[/blockquote]
I bet that if you looked, you could have found someone who articulated this very thing, probably 30 or 40 years ago even, to credit it to.
1. Older. H. L. Mencken, “Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.” Mangu-Wards law is just a corollary.
2. In the early 60s “terrorism” meant government initiation of force. See Aldous Huxley’s lecture at Berkeley.
11. One speck of carfentanil less than a third the size of a grain of salt is a fatal dose for humans. One bag could kill tens of thousands of people.
It can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled or ingested. It is cheap, easy to get and used increasingly by dealers to add to other illicit drugs.
The problem with all drugs is that the human body tolerated greater doses with extended use. Users need more to get high. Eventually, or with stronger forms, the dose becomes fatal.
Doctors have no business prescribing lethal recreational drugs. That whole “do no harm” principle.
1. “One speck of carfentanil less than a third the size of a grain of salt is a fatal dose for humans.”
Your cite went missing.
1. I think he’s right on the dosage statement. Reason interviewed an Anesthesiologist in 2917 that said pretty much the same thing.
1. OK, I stand corrected re: the dose.
Misek is full of shit most everywhere else:
“It can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled or ingested.”
From your link:
“Q: Is fentanyl dangerous to touch, as several law enforcement agencies have reported?
A: No, fentanyl is not dangerous to touch. Transdermal fentanyl patches deliver fentanyl across the skin, but they require special absorption enhancers because the skin is an excellent barrier to fentanyl (and all other opioids)”
1. Yeah, it sounds like those claims were at least exaggerated. Though I do some cause for concern in a substance that is so difficult to calibrate a safe dosage.
2. and used increasingly by dealers to add to other illicit drugs.
This is a problem created by government – but you suggest that more government will solve it?
1. This is one of my new favorite “everyone just knows it man” assertions. Pot has gotten stronger in counties and states that have legalized it. It isnt getting as strong as quickly in black market areas.
1. Why would legal pot be stronger? In WA the opposite is usually true. The state very strictly regulates everything that is allowed for the cultivation of cannabis. Black market grow operations are not hamstrung this way, and can produce higher quality results.
2. This is one of my new favorite “everyone just knows it man” assertions. Pot got stronger under prohibition – according the drug warriors – and now pot is getting even stronger in places without prohibition.
Heads you win, tails I lose.
3. Cannabis in the 80’s was 10 times stronger than the 70’s stuff.
Cannabis in the 90’s was 10 times stronger than the 80’s stuff.
Cannabis in the 00’s was 10 times stronger than the 90’s stuff.
Cannabis in the 10’s is 10 times stronger than the 00’s stuff.
So the shit around today is 10,000 times stronger than all that 70’s stuff (Accapulco Gold, Panama Red, Thai Stick etc).
I think people back then just imagined they were high.
3. Misek,
You have a well-earned rep here as a liar; you and the truth seem to have but a passing acquaintance.
Care to back up your claim with evidence, or are you just hoping to add to your rep as a fucking liar?
1. He’s also an aggressive Holocaust denier. I think he has it in for the Joooooooosssss!
1. Get him going on “Teh GAAYS!!!”, and you’re right about Teh JOOZE!!!”
They forced the US into WWI and caused WWII.
1. To be fair, Tony isn’t helping the case for the gays too much here. I would certainly be embarrassed by him if I were gay.
1. Any gay can make an ass of him/her self without a general issue.
I’m gonna assume Misek is not gay, just a straight ignoramus. That makes no comment regarding other straights posting here.
1. Well, he is an embarrassment to the human race on a variety of levels.
1. It’s all a plot by the Jooosss!
4. Doctors, nurses, professionals who spent years learning the art and science, have been administering opioids including fentanyl for many years.
Galen wrote around 180 ad
“Opium is the strongest of the drugs which numb the senses and induce a deadening sleep; its effects are produced when it is soaked in boiling water, taken up on a flock of wool and used as a suppository; at the same time some can be spread over the forehead and in the nostrils. If it is mixed with a drug that mitigates its power, its effects are greatly reduced.”
That’s not how it works. Opioids are pretty safe for long term use if you get the dose right. They kill mostly by depressing respiration, not from acute toxicity. So larger doses aren’t necessarily more dangerous if the person taking it has a high tolerance. And people taking the drugs for chronic pain usually find a dosage that works for them long term.
6. Doctors have no business prescribing lethal recreational drugs.
You’re right. People should be able to get them without a prescription. Controlling what goes into one’s body is a big part of self-ownership.
Also, anything you can put into your body can be lethal or safe. It all depends on the dose. Plenty of people use all kinds of recreational drugs responsibly. Only focusing on the addicts and abusers is being disingenuous.
12. 70,000 people die annually from drug overdoses because hard drugs are difficult to obtain. Imagine how few will die if drugs are easier to get.
1. Imagine how much smaller, cheaper, simpler, and fairer a government would be which didn’t make up crimes to keep busy.
1. Let’s sing “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?” as a duet.
Look at that chart. 70,000 is the number who died in 2017. Its normally 1/2 that. And the rise is because of the rise in Fentanyl. A rise which is only happening because of government interference in the production and distribution of recreational chemicals.
13. up to I saw the bank draft of $7781, I did not believe that my best friend was like they say actually taking home money in there spare time from there new laptop.. there uncle started doing this 4 only 22 months and at present cleared the loans on there mini mansion and purchased Dodge. this is where I went,
1. Well, after Fiat got done with them, $7781 is probably all Dodge is worth anymore.
1. That SRT hellcat just can’t keep up.
14. I suppose this will do for a weekend comment hijack.
I finally got around to watching the latest Dr Who, this one being a woman (I suppose they honored the “12 regenerations and out” factoid by changing gender). She’s ok, and I say that as someone who started with Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker and thought the fifth doctor should have stuck with being a veterinarian.
Their anti-gun political correctness really stood out more than usual in Ghost Monument, where they are surrounded by robot warriors. One of the companions picks up a dead warrior’s gun to shoot back, shouting “Call of Duty!!” and the doctor gives the usual anti-gun lecture on guns being useless, evil, beneath contempt, brains are better, etc, followed almost immediately by her exploding a battery pack whose EMP kills all the robot warriors and is so proud of herself for not using a dirty evil weapon.
I don’t know what made me laugh more — the reflexive contempt for anything spelled “g-u-n” as if they never ever can do any good whatsoever, or the hypocrisy of preferring a non-gun weapon of mass destruction.
Dr Who and most British TV shows all seem to have the same knee-jerk propaganda, but usually the weapon usage hypocrisy doesn’t show up so remarkably soon after the knee-jerk denunciation.
1. The 12 regenerations thing was actually circumvented in Matt Smith last story (he was the 13 incarnation as there wa the War Doctor and 10 once regenerated and didn’t change). The Time Lords gave him a new regeneration cycle at the last minute. So Capaldi was actually his 13th regeneration. Which makes Whittaker his 14th regeneration.
15. There is already a constitutional way of attacking the drug and human trafficking cartels without affording them the protections due to criminal suspects and defendants: declare war.
1. Why would we need to declare war. Legalize it and the money drains out and the cartels lose their power. FFS, you saw this with alcohol prohibition. Drug cartels in the US gained huge power during prohibition and pretty much ceased to exist after it was repealed.
Once again – a problem caused by government has people crying for more government to solve that problem.s
1. Don’t you understand? Prohibition was about alcohol. The War on Drugs is about DRUGS!!!!!!!!
(How drug warriors think, apparently)
16. U.S. terrorists occupy Ecuador and Afghanistan, and with CBP are able to confiscate dope and confiscate bank accounts through asset forfeiture, and resell the dope by pressuring DEA agents’ daughters and brown people to sell it to folks who would rather have acid. If fentanyl is some sort of downer, it competes with ‘Murrican-Afghani smack and thereby costs the Feds black ops money, secret funding, pelf and boodle. Political Economy explains how coercive distortion of markets functions–so it is no longer taught. Therefore KMW must’ve learnt it illegally!
1. Hank,
It is possible that the comment is sarc, but you have a well-earned rep here:
I tried to make sense of that pile of horseshit, and the best I can see is that you are a fucking ignoramus.
17. The FBI definition of a terrorist organization is an organization that seeks to change cultural or political norms through lethal force. Sorry to say this, but people in many neighborhoods are afraid to call the police to complain about drug dealers, because they don’t want their friends and relatives killed by the drug gangs. This makes the drug gangs terrorist organizations. The boys in blue are committed to keeping any violence sub-lethal. We don’t kill people. Hooray for the Crypts!
1. Then you’d have to concede that the DEA is a terrorist organization. Once again – a problem caused by government is being used to justify increased power for government. By ostensible libertarians.
And its ‘Crips’, not ‘Crypts’.
18. Every drug seller says, he is not terrorist. morons Cybergeneric

Structural and functional cardiovascular changes and their consequences following interventional patent ductus arteriosus occlusion in dogs: 24 cases (2000-2006).
To investigate cardiovascular changes and survival times following complete interventional device occlusion of uncomplicated left-to-right shunting patent ductus arteriosus in dogs. Retrospective cohort study. 24 dogs with uncomplicated patent ductus arteriosus that was fully occluded and reevaluated within 24 hours, approximately 3 months, and 1 year after the procedure. Information on medical history, diagnostic imaging findings, treatment received, and survival times were obtained from medical records. Patients were allocated into 2 groups on the basis of age (< 1 year [n = 14] and ≥ 1 year [10]) at the time of the procedure. Additional follow-up information was obtained through interviews of owners and referral veterinarians. Following ductal occlusion, decreases were detected in vertebral heart scale size, left ventricular chamber diameter in diastole and in systole, left atrial dimension, fractional shortening, aortic velocity, and ventricular wall thickness. There were no differences between age groups for postocclusion changes except vertebral heart scale size. Systolic dysfunction was detected in 14 (58%) patients on the final visit. Median survival time for all dogs after ductal occlusion was > 11.5 years. Complete ductal occlusion resulted in immediate removal of the volume overload state and eventual return of cardiac chamber dimensions to reference range, suggesting regression of eccentric hypertrophy. Systolic dysfunction persisted in some dogs but appeared to be clinically unimportant. Most cardiovascular changes were independent of patient age at the time of the procedure. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c408d0fdec7dbe74376274cd484bc96d2e99a25a965bd142f955d31ed9e22107'} |

A Little Economic Portent
Because of the iron-clad economic truth that every dollar the government spends is a dollar it will eventually have to raise through taxation, I decided to try to figure out what, say, two trillion dollars (a conservative estimate when it's all said and done) of government spending (which, as our president glibly reminds us, "Hey, that's what a stimulus package is! Yuk yuk yuk!") would cost each individual American taxpayer. But I couldn't do it because when I tried to enter two trillion into the calculator, it wouldn't go that high.
Don't worry, though. Everything will be fine. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.969664752483368}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '68784', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:BWDR54ZZ35CR7VGNAMYQQE4HDLXR7W4P', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a3a3024f-0b5a-4a81-9819-7251c7336e69>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 19, 15, 3), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.193', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:HFREAGQIM2J5T3VBANDMRKIMKGRFKOBM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e48e0388-ca58-41ba-af31-09bf9c6a6a7f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://johnrabe.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2abf2a54-21d0-4103-b816-7460ae280409>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '103', 'url': 'http://johnrabe.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-166-41-113.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': '0.5708633065223694', 'original_id': '445c40200f126bb70bf4dcd0e9caea467e7a77f7d8511c1a33ca9c69422e653a'} |
What I am wondering is what is the difference between delusions and beliefs? Beliefs are very powerful, and most people do not like when their beliefs are challenged or threatened. However, what makes a belief a truth? It can’t just be because we want it to be so. That is the definition of a self fulfilling prophesy. It is probably not a good idea to just decide something is true because we want it to be true. However, even though we do not think so, I ‘m sure we have all tried to do that.
For example I there was a case study in one of my core classes for my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, that described a young man who chose not to study for his PSAT, because he believed that he would do well with the knowledge he had “as is”. Convenient, however, he did not do well on the test. Now is he deluded because he wanted something to be true, and then decided it was in fact true when it was not true?This makes me wonder what part, if any, does Ego play in this phenomenon?
Many religious beliefs are upheld as true no matter how much science, reality, or any contradictory concepts, may indicate that another truth could be present. Adherence to beliefs is linked to survival and this is why people often go into an uproar when their beliefs are challenged. It isn’t the beliefs themselves, that cause the uproar. When survival is at stake, an individual will defend and fight back to the end. People tend to believe that their beliefs give their lives meaning, purpose and even survival.
It seems to be a natural tendency to think that we are our thoughts and beliefs and to attach ourselves to these fleeting notions. However thoughts and beliefs change, while we, or “I”, the observer remains constant. In my own recovery, I have learned to ask myself : “who am I without my stuff, who am I without my house and car; who am I without my job, my friends, and the biggie, my children?”
Who really knows what is the truth and what is a delusion? Maybe it is just that when our delusions do not match-up with the mainstream’s, then we are considered delusional. Delusions that are considered bizarre could be difficult to weigh-out or judge especially since for every culture there exists different beliefs.
That being said, I do realize that delusions are the hallmark to the mental illness Schizophrenia, and I believe that treatment and education are a must. Individuals who suffer from this disease in its more serious forms who have disorganized thoughts, and behaviors, hallucinations and dysfunctions, do suffer greatly.
Many moons ago, when I was an undergraduate at McGill University in Montreal, I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity to assist in a study which was at the time attempting to differentiate between all the different types of schizophrenia. I remember being handed dozens of pages containing many proposed differentiated forms of schizophrenia. At the time the researcher was attempting to figure out whether these were all aspects of one disease or whether they are all different and unrelated –even though they shared many symptoms.
I graduated before the study was concluded but I remember that at the time we were beginning to suspect that they shared the same root but mutated enough, that the forms were actually different disorders. Human history is filled with delusional figures, religious and otherwise, revered and feared. It goes back a long way and I believe we all have the potential to be delusional.
Perhaps the ability to experience delusions is linked with the survival mechanism. It could be a way of psychically protecting the experiential world of the individual from perceived threat. This would actually be a compelling argument for an actual connection between emotions and biology. The body’s, indeed Life’s “fight” to survive, is the primary emotion from which all others stem. Primary Emotion married Physical and gave birth to Love and Fear, followed by Separation and Unity. The expression of pure being(non physical) is perpetuated by the continuation of consciousness (physical).
Also I have noticed it seems as long as the delusion is collectively believed, then deluded or not it becomes what we refer to as normal.
The French term, folie a deux, translates something like: two, sharing a madness, and was coined in the 19th century in France. I may be going out on a limb here, but I am beginning to see some interesting relationships. I believe it was Carl Jung who theorized about a concept he called the collective unconscious, and Toltec philosophies theorize that we are all (people/consciousness) dreaming a dream, that life is but a dream. Further, in everyday circumstances collectivism is expressed in many forms. Republicans, and Dems; Christian and Jew, and on and on. The more people who join in a belief, whether delusional or not, the more powerfully it expresses itself.
Beliefs are as powerful, in my opinion as drives so the formation of delusions seems almost like a malfunctioning in belief formation. Think of cults. Also, the power of suggestion is incredibly mighty. When you consider these kinds of things, and the pull towards collectivism in general, this disorder seems conceptually to make a little more sense to me.
In a way, we are all buying into each others’ illusions and delusions but again the measurement that tips the scale is the bizarreness and length of time of the shared delusion.
Brief psychotic disorder comes on suddenly, as opposed to its cousin, shared psychotic disorder. Shared Psychotic Disorder seems to be more gradual in development and is related to being exposed to the other’s delusion over time.
Because of the suddenness of Brief Psychotic disorder I suspect that a chemical change, beyond regular metabolic changes and exchanges is the cause. This could be the consequence to experiencing extreme and unusual stress. Stress causes the brain to secrete powerful hormones and toxins and a sudden flood of these will no doubt be disorienting at best. Ruling out medical prescriptions, and illegal drugs, or head trauma, what else could be the cause?
Cognitive theories focus on the delusional beliefs which have a biological cause. Behavioral theory is also needed for Schizophrenia because another hallmark, aside from disorganized thought and speech, individuals display no regard for social skills or acceptable responses.

Quick Answer: Does Rolling Your Clothes Make Your Suitcase Heavier?
Is it better to roll or fold clothes in a suitcase?
Cotton and linen crease and wrinkle very easily so they benefit from being folded, and woolen-knit items tend to be chunky, meaning that they will take up more space in your pack if you try to roll them.

I doomed mankind with a free text editor

See thing is, I talk to a 6 year old as though I know they are going to be looking at getting their PHDs in 6 weeks, they seem to like/appreciate this, at least the smart ones do, instead of getting frustrated they wonder why I talk to them like a human instead of some kind of sub-class of human, as well as wondering what the definition of all the wonderful $20 words I might use when asking about why they prefer to avoid the inherently insurmountable nutrition found in green beans or the delectable deliciousnesses of their pickled beats…
I think we should spend less time worrying about how stoopid we need to speak to each other or how stupid we have become in how we speak to each other, and start speaking like our 6 year olds are indeed in University seeking their PHDs…. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.97371244430542}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '85307', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:MXYJS7VMWRACZ4USUYUDDKDC7R6Q3GIG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f58c6059-2fd3-4c51-abd4-50574f3fb314>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 10, 20, 18, 45), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.16.121.127', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:FQ7JNMDPDDMY5QTT666YO5KOE2N5W46P', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:6ba24d2a-28ba-4c88-8443-a9ae8e2ffaeb>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://medium.com/@ENBertussi/see-thing-is-i-talk-to-a-6-year-old-as-though-i-know-they-are-going-to-be-looking-at-getting-their-6fafe1fcffa5', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e0a9a28a-5386-405f-b949-548917fd588e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '157', 'url': 'https://medium.com/@ENBertussi/see-thing-is-i-talk-to-a-6-year-old-as-though-i-know-they-are-going-to-be-looking-at-getting-their-6fafe1fcffa5', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-164-234-169.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03497856855392456', 'original_id': 'dec3948840cd6fafdb13885b06ac5969b1e2ae8ba82568ceb896018ae68d061e'} |

Making it Pretty
fancy scissorsYears ago, I was an avid scrapbooker. This was before the age of die cut machines, vinyl lettering and sparkly stick-on gems. This was back when the pages had a plastic covering that you had to pull back with a satisfying creeeeeeeak-teeeeaaaaaar sound to reveal the sticky surface for adhering photos. This was back when we didn’t know that the acid in that sticky surface destroyed precious collectibles. But, it didn’t matter, I loved taking and collecting photos.
Then, scrapbooking became a craze. People (women, mostly, in my world) spent thousands and thousands of dollars to scrapbook. I actually knew a man whose wife had two rooms dedicated to and full of stuff for scrapbooking that actually began trickling out into the dining room. She had so much stuff he was considering starting a home business for her so other women could come there and rent time/ space/ materials for scrapbooking. It was insane!
At about the point scrapbooking become this wild, out-of-control, addictive fad, I got bored with it. Even the stick-on sparkly things weren’t enough to draw me into the fiendish trend. However, I really did dig the scissors that gave fancy edges to whatever you were cutting and I got several different pair. Yesterday, when we did our paper chain project, we got out a couple pairs of those cool scissors to make our chain a little fancier.
This morning as I sat down at the table to start working on my book, I glanced down and noticed the two scissors sitting there, slightly open, jaws gaping with their “teeth” that would make fancy edges when they closed together over paper. I had a moment where I just stared at them, realizing that someone, somewhere had decided that straight edges just weren’t enough and there needed to be some way to make scissors cut in fancy designs.
The cool thing about being human is our inventive imaginations. We have the ability to create from within us. We have the power of creation nestled in our minds and we can create anything we set our minds to. In fact, I am sitting here right now, looking to my left and I see two ziplock bags, a cup, two fancy scissors, a glue stick, a wallet and my smartphone. At one point in history, each of these items were not in existence because someone had not yet gotten curious enough about creating them. Glue sticks! So cool! I’d love to kiss the person who thought them up. And smartphones? WOW! Actually… all these items sitting here have been an improvement upon my life. Some of them I can live without; others (phone, for instance) have become like another appendage in my world.
We are such powerful beings and I sometimes forget that. I sometimes forget that I am here for a purpose and I imagine other people have those moments too. Then, all it takes for me to remember is to glance down and see those scissors that make everything have pretty edges and I can know that someone, somewhere created that tool. Power!

Unravelling the unusual signalling properties of the GABA(B) receptor.
GABA(B) receptors are the cornerstone receptors in the modulation of inhibitory signalling in the central nervous system and continue to be targets for the amelioration of a number of neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. Unravelling the molecular identity of this receptor has spurred much research over the past five or so years and generated a renewed interest and excitement in the field. Many questions are being answered and lessons learnt, not only about GABA(B) receptor function but also about general mechanisms of G-protein-coupled receptor signalling. However, as questions are being answered as many new questions are being raised and many GABA(B)-related conundrums continue to remain unanswered. In this report, we review some of the most recent work in the area of GABA(B) receptor research. In particular, we focus our attentions on the emerging mechanisms thought to be important in GABA(B) receptor signalling and the growing complex of associated proteins that we consider to be part of the GABA(B) receptor "signalosome." | mini_pile | {'original_id': '2bdbeda4d04e86f8d1b13679e3842e7e8c9dc23977eb9efe2c6ac49f5bb6cb9f'} |

The Pros, the Cons, and the Facts in this Cooking with Charcoal vs Gas Grills showdown.
Perhaps the greatest BBQ debate of all time is Cooking With Charcoal vs Gas Grills.
I am sure you have heard it discussed before and if you are an avid griller, chances are you have been right in the thick of it at some point.
Bring this topic up to any seasoned griller, and you will be met with some very strong opinions. I have friends who swear by one and who absolutely refuse to use the other. Charcoal enthusiasts scoff at the idea of using gas and ridicule anybody who would even suggest it and vis a versa.
The war between charcoal grill and gas grill users has been raging for years and will spark many a lively discussion right up there with other BBQ debates like “beef or pork,” “sauced or rubbed,” “vinegar-based vs. tomato-based” sauce and Blondes vs. Brunettes.
Ok, that last one has nothing to do with BBQ, but it is a great debate regardless. 🙂
But what are the differences and which option is better?
Well, we are talking about different rules, different skills, a whole different ballgame really. The end results may be similar, but getting there requires different techniques.
No matter which side of the fence you are on, I am here to tell you that there are pros and cons to each option and depending on your situation, either or both can work for you.
Let’s take a quick look at the differences before we really dive in…
Direct Comparison
Charcoal vs Gas Grills
Today I am going to give you enough information for you decide what is best for you. Let’s jump right in with the pros and cons of each.
Let’s Break It Down Further
When deciding whether charcoal or gas grills are better, let’s dive deeper into their general specs.
Charcoal Grill Pros
Charcoal grills have many features that BBQ enthusiasts love with the number one favorite being…
It’s no secret that grilling with charcoal or wood will give you a deep, smoky flavor especially with slow cooking meats like ribs, brisket, and pork shoulder on indirect heat.
Real wood fired flavor that you just can’t get from a gas grill.
To me, nothing says BBQ more than the mouthwatering Smokey goodness of a slow cooked piece of meat on a charcoal grill.
I can go on and on about the flavorful advantages of natural charcoal, but I will save that for another article.
Charcoal creates a hotter flame, generally way hotter than a gas grill can achieve, which can be great for the initial sear of meats like steak.
Intense and fast heat is what is needed to get your meat charred on the outside while keeping it a nice juicy pink on the inside.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, you can generally achieve lower temperatures with charcoal than you can with gas which is perfect for slow cooking and smoking meat.
A charcoal grill can easily reach a temperature of up to 900°F or as low as 225°F and even lower.
Many gas grills can typically only reach up to the 500°F range with a low of 250°F-275°F range.
Because there is a lot less involved in a Charcoal grill, they tend to be less expensive than gas grills.
On the extreme low end, you can get something like a small Weber “Smokey Joe” for about $25. A tried and true “Weber kettle” can be had for about $150, while a “higher end model” can be had for about $600.
Cooking with natural charcoal can help bring out the inner “Manly Man” in all of us.
It is tricky to master the fire and requires much more involvement and attention, but the first time you nail it, the feeling of accomplishment is second to none.
Dragging a gas grill to a tailgate party, beach or park is not really an option.
You can easily bring, set up and use a charcoal grill almost anywhere it is permitted.
Charcoal Grill Cons
Just like any grill, cooking with charcoal has its cons too.
For starters, a lot more patience is required when cooking on a charcoal grill.
It can take up to 30 minutes just for the fire to get up to the proper cooking temperature (check out these awesome charcoal lighting techniques) compared to about 10 minutes for a gas grill.
Of course, this is only a con if you don’t have your favorite beer in hand to help ease the wait.
You will have to clean out the ash often and scrub the grates every time you use the grill.
Cleaning out the ash is messy, time-consuming and an overall pain in the a$$.
It is much harder to control and maintain the heat when grilling with charcoal.
It takes some experience and a lot of trial and error to master the art of temperature control with a charcoal grill.
The outside weather can play a major factor in this too. Too much or not enough wind can affect airflow which is the key to temp control. Weather that is too hot or too cold can keep you from getting to the desired heat.
I know people who will get outside and grill no matter what mother nature can throw at them, myself included.
Not everybody will want to be out grilling in the extreme elements, especially those who live in areas where it snows.
Obviously, it will be harder to light and keep your fire going in windy and wet conditions.
Can’t Be Used Everywhere
Due to fire and safety concerns, some apartment complexes do not allow charcoal grills, and in some areas, local fire codes ban them all together.
You should always check your local codes and laws ahead of time.
If you grill with charcoal, people will know.
There is no hiding the smoke and aroma caused by the briquettes or wood that sticks to your clothes, hair, and skin after you’ve finished fire grilling that juicy rib-eye steak.
Gas Grill Pros
Just like a charcoal grill, gas grill supporters can point out many pros that make grilling your favorite cut of meat and awesome experience.
A gas grill gives you instantaneous heat and takes only about 10 minutes to fully come up to the desired temperature.
When you need dinner on the table fast with and minimal fuss, a gas grill is your huckleberry.
Ease Of Use
Perhaps the biggest selling point for purchasing a gas grill is the convenience they provide when compared to a charcoal grill.
Gas grills can easily and quickly be started with a push of a button.
There is no worrying about getting those coals to stay lit, wondering when they’re going to be ready or having to shut down the fire when you are done.
Propane tanks can provide enough fuel for 16 to 20 hours of cooking time.
Temperature Control
It is much easier to control the temperature with a gas grill.
It is as easy as turning a dial to your desired setting of low, medium or high in most cases. For the most part, the heat produced is even and consistent.
No worrying about adjusting vents or air flow. You can even close the lid without putting out the fire while maintaining the heat.
When you close the lid on most charcoal grills, you will be decreasing the oxygen flow and putting out the fire unless you know how to use your vents properly.
Ease Of Cleaning
Gas Grill Cons
Gas grills have it’s fair share to cons, especially if you fall into the charcoal grill camp.
Because there is a lot more involved, gas grills tend to be more expensive, and assembly could be difficult.
You can pay for assembly at many places you purchase your grill, but this will add another factor to the total price.
Prices start around $129 to $299 for the most popularly priced (but cheaply made) gas grills. A mid-range gas grill can run around $800 with the top of the range premium gas grills can cost as much as $5,000 and beyond.
You will need to check the gas connections and lines from time to time.
Parts can also rust or fail or wear down. You will also need to take trips to refill your propane tank when it is low.
A good “grill cover” can help minimize the exposure to the elements and is recommended.
Gas burns relatively cleanly and has no order or taste, so you won’t be getting that wonderful Smokey wood flavor.
This doesn’t matter as much for short cooking foods, where the flavor can be as good as charcoal, but indirect cooking and smoking won’t give you same flavor.
While you can still technically smoke meat in a gas grill, no matter what anybody tells you, it is not the same.
Some of the higher end grills have built-in smoke boxes that you could add wood chips too, but for most, you will need to add homemade foil packets filled with wood chips and put them directly on the burner.
There are a few other options for added smoke flavor you can find out there as well. The biggest issue when trying to smoke is that most gas grill lids do not seal well (a built-in safety precaution because of the gas), so a lot of the smoke is lost.
Final Verdict
Ultimately, your final choice on the debate of Charcoal vs Gas Grills will come down to cost, how much time and effort you want to put into it, convenience, and flavor.
I’m lucky enough that my wife allows me to own three grills (gas, charcoal, and pellet smoker).
I use each for whatever the circumstance calls for. Sometimes it just depends on how I am feeling on any given day. Other times I use more than one option simultaneously.
I am a bit of an extreme case (head case some might say) though, and more than one option is not needed.
There is no question that great tasting BBQ can come from either gas or charcoal grilling but no matter which you choose, I would always recommend that you read the owner’s manual before the first use, so you know exactly what you need to do to get the most out of your grill.
Now It’s Your Turn

<div class="main-content">
<p></p>
<h2 class="rvps6"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts69">Version 4.4.0</span></span></h2>
<p class="rvps28"><span class="rvts68">Released on Wednesday, April 26, 2017</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">FHIR Improvements</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">The schema used by Trifolia for "FHIR_Latest" is updated with the schema from FHIR STU3's recent publication. In the future, the Implementation Guide Type "FHIR_Latest" will be renamed to "FHIR STU3" and a new implementation guide will be created for "FHIR_Latest" that represents the latest build of FHIR.</span></p>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">The fixed[x] and pattern[x] fields are included in imports of StructureDefinition resources.</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Default field selection for exports</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">The "Save As Default" functionality for "Export templates/profiles to MS Word" was not saving all fields. This is now fixed so that when you indicate to save your preferences as default, the selected templates/profiles </span><span class="rvts72">and </span><span class="rvts68">the sort order are persisted.</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Implementation Guide Editing</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Permissions management on the "Edit Implementation Guide" screen has been improved so that multiple users can be added with less effort. The "General" tab has been re-organized into two separate columns so that more fields can fit on a single screen, reducing the need to scroll to edit the fields.</span></p>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">When versioning an Implementation Guide, the identifier of the IG is copied to the new version.</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Exporting templates/profiles to MS Word</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">The "Save as Default" functionality is improved so that it remembers the sort order of templates/profiles within the export, and the templates/profiles selected for export.</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Template/Profile Editing</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">The author of a template can be changed in the template/profile editor.</span></p>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">A template/profile cannot reference itself as an implied template/profile anymore.</span></p>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Bug fix to removing single-value binding from constraints.</span></p>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Schematron Export Improvements</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Several of improvements have been made to Schematron exports including: </span></p>
<ul style="text-indent: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 24px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: disc;">
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Minor performance improvements</span></li>
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Single-value bindings within branches are tested now</span></li>
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Specialized rule context for templates whose schema doesn't have the typical element used by the template predicate (ex: templateId)</span></li>
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Manual Schematron is exported for primitive constraints SHALL constraints that are a child of a MAY constraint</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 class="rvps8"><span class="rvts0"><span class="rvts70">Developer Improvements</span></span></h3>
<p class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Several improvements have been made to make it easier for developers to work on Trifolia, including:</span></p>
<ul style="text-indent: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 24px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: disc;">
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Using the latest version of Entity Framework, with code-first approach. This will make it easier to modify the database, and apply those modifications during installation. It is also be easier to setup new installations of Trifolia.</span></li>
<li class="rvps2"><span class="rvts68">Installation script improvements. Re-designing the installation script to automatically apply the database migrations, and to remove files that are no longer used by the application.</span></li>
</ul>

A guide to working as a temporary document review lawyer.
What is Document Review?
Document review is when lawyers and paralegals examine documents relevant to pending litgation and regulatory investigations. It is quite often the most labour intensive stage of litigation. Teams of lawyers and paralegals will analyse the documents for key information. The review process often consists of several stages. Quite often the first review involves analysing the documents for relevance and coding them for relevant subject matter. The coded data is then loaded into a searchable database. A second more detailed review is then carried out. The purpose of the review is to determine which documents are relevant, privileged and confidential.
Who employs document review lawyers?
Most firms ranging from small litigation boutiques through to the top global firms will employ document review lawyers when they are handing a large litigation matter. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of firms in London employing lawyers and paralegals on a temporary basis to undertake document review.
What skills are required to work as a Document Review Lawyer/Paralegal
Typically candidates with a strong background in commercial litigation are preferred, however this is not always the case as other required skills such as a specific language, legal specialism or ediscovery software such as Relativity or Kroll may take precedent.
How long does a typical contract/project last?
This really depends upon the nature of the instruction from the client and also the particular case. We have seen some projects run for 2 years + whereas others have been 3 months, with some being as short as a couple of weeks. It depends upon the number of documents and size of the review team.
What can I expect to earn?
Again this varies depending upon the firm and amount of overtime available. Typically a qualified lawyer can expect to earn £30-40 per hour and a paralegal can expect anything from £13-17 per hour. With regards to overtime, we find that typically overtime is available and most firms will pay time an a half and double time after a certain number of standard hours have been worked per week.

Most of the students did great jobs: attendance was near full, summaries were good, and presentations were great. Many of them did more than I expected - they contacted the paper's authors to get more information, presented movies and demos, engaged the class in discussions, etc. So, when I wrote the grades to myself, most of them were between 90 and 100.
But then, when I told this to the department vice-chair, he told me "what have you done? You will cause a grade-inflation! The department policy is that the average grade on seminar courses should be at most 85!" I totally understand this policy - grades that are too high might show that the course was too easy, and they do not sufficiently distinguish between good and better students. Also, they might be unfair to students who took the course in previous years.
However, I am not sure what I should do now. I haven't published the grades to the students yet. Should I just re-scale the grades so that 90 becomes 70? I feel this is somewhat unfair to the students who worked hard for their presentations. Are there better options?

Allow me to play the devil's advocate: If the students are used to courses in this department, then perhaps the reason they tried so hard is because they know other students will also be trying hard, and they assume they will be evaluated relative to their peer group. Did you tell them in the first lesson that they would not be compared to typical performance in the class? – Matt Sep 11 '18 at 13:11

One really wants to say that the vice-chair is an idiot, but I will refrain. The policy is idiotic in any case. I've taught at places in which nearly every student excels on every measure I could devise. Why would I want to pit one student against another for the purpose of an artificial "average"? They weren't average.
If you have the twenty best people (students or employees for example) in the world and you measure them in any single way, then half of them will be below average. Just how fine can you make the graduations so that someone can be "called" worse than someone else.
On the other hand, if the average, as measured over several runnings of the class, is around 85 and if there are clear differences in behavior and outcome, then "rewarding" everyone equally is also idiotic.
You set a standard. People met it. The standard was not that you must do "better" than someone else. If you change it now you have an ethical failing.
I hope you have enough standing in the university and in the profession that you can stand up to such unfair and unethical suggestions. If your group of students was exceptional there is no reason not to mark them as exceptional.
If you want to lower the average in future, with a different group of students, make the course more demanding.
But if you change the grading structure after they have finished their work then you are doing evil, not teaching.

@Buffy It's actually much, MUCH worse than that. Stack ranking means the best way to keep your job is to sabotage someone else's work. You just changed everyone from working towards a measurable goal (which already has weaknesses, like gaming the metric), to everyone trying to work against each other (which is outright toxic). – Nelson Sep 6 '18 at 0:23

@BenNorris you, and I think also Buffy, are talking about something that sounds quite different from what OP is asking about. There is no indication in the question that OP is considering doing anything like “assigning grades in a different way than what he told the students he was going to”. He is considering recalibrating the grades, i.e., changing the function mapping quality of presentation/writing/etc to a numerical score. If that function was not explicitly told to the students, he has every right to change it up to the very last minute. In fact, such last minute decisions ... – Dan Romik Sep 6 '18 at 2:27

... are extremely common, and I have never seen anyone argue that they are unethical, inappropriate, evil, or that a grade grievance based on such a decision has any chance whatsoever to succeed. What matters from the point of view of ethics is that: 1. the instructor follows to the letter their own grading policy that they explicitly communicated to the students, and 2. the instructor’s decisions are made in good faith and out of a sincere desire to have the grades most fairly and accurately represent their evaluation of the students’ abilities. – Dan Romik Sep 6 '18 at 2:30
• 73
@DanRomik You call it recalibrating, but this certainly seems like grading on a curve: Because everyone did well, we're recalibrating the average to fit what we think it should be. "Many of them did more than I expected - they contacted the paper's authors to get more information, presented movies and demos, engaged the class in discussions, etc." Your grade: C, Although you did exceptional work and exceeded expectations, others did more/better than you did at exceeding expectations. Tough luck. Talk about moving the goalposts. – TemporalWolf Sep 6 '18 at 20:27

@DanRomik: I will argue that (while extremely common), the practice you describe is indeed unethical, inappropriate, and evil. E.g., my letter to the editor of Thought & Action in 2006. Most best-practices I've seen recommend documenting the number-to-letter formula up front on the syllabus (e.g., Yale). The "recalibrating" argument is simply word-play. The standards for a particular letter grade should be, and in many cases are, made known beforehand. – Daniel R. Collins Sep 7 '18 at 3:52
From a mathematical point of view, the problem that they are trying to solve with a policy that attempts to enforce a maximum/minimum average class value is the wrong problem. Statistically, you will have plenty of variation from class to class as to good classes and bad classes. If the general guideline is that you want an "average" student to receive an 85, that is fine, but you will get classes where your students excel abnormally, and you will get classes that are a bit behind the grade, and fluctuate the other way. This is even more common, in fact, because when an entire class is doing badly, they have more trouble getting help from their peers, whereas when a class is excelling as a whole, friendly tutors are easy to come by and the performance of the under-performing students rises.
Forcing any individual class to conform to an exact standard like that flies in the face of statistics. I would take my department head and go talk to the head of the statistics department, and rework the policy so that it takes into account things like standard deviation within a class, the tendency toward positive or negative feedback cycles, and outliers.
This is an academic setting. It can be easily recognized that the existing policy does not meet scientific rigor, and there are experts a few rooms or halls away who can help.

Good points here, I will add (as one who was assigned the lower performing classes & students) that classes below the average also end up covering less material or having to pick or choose which material to cover in depth (because you need to scaffold learning to cover gaps in their understanding). While, those performing above the average allow you to cover more in depth as there is both less scaffolding (less gaps) but you can go more in depth with the fewer students who need that. @DanRomik I have definitely seen this in US universities. – LinkBerest Sep 7 '18 at 11:14
• Downvoted because what you are saying flies in the face of statistics. The bigger the 2 groups are more likely it is that they will have the same average on same problems. Not to mention that even if differences exist they are not of the magnitude that OP describes. – NoSenseEtAl Sep 13 '18 at 11:22
• 1
@NoSenseEtAl "The bigger the 2 groups are the more likely it is that they will have the same average" Yes, exactly. The original poster did not post their class size, but many graduate seminars have limits of 15 or less students. That is no where near a high enough sample size to expect any kind of real conformity. In a class that small, each student accounts for 7% of the class average, meaning that just 1 or 2 extraordinary students can completely throw the average. If this were a class of 300, then large numbers apply, but in a small class, there is just too much deviation. – kashim Sep 13 '18 at 22:53
Based on your description of what took place, it sounds like the reason most of the students will get a grade between 90 and 100 is because according to your best judgment they genuinely deserve it. If that is indeed your belief, you don’t need to do anything other than to publish the grades as they are. After all, the department charged you with teaching a class and grading it in the most fair and accurate way and to the best of your abilities, and that is what you have done. I would simply recommend, before publishing the grades, to make sure that you are not violating any formal policies the department may have that mandate a certain distribution of grades or range of average grades; and, since you are going against the vice chair’s opinion, it may also be advisable to either discuss the matter some more with the vice chair and try to reach a consensus as to the desired course of action, or to make sure you are comfortable with going against the suggestion of your senior and that you will not suffer any adverse career consequences as a result, before proceeding.
If on the other hand the premise that the students in fact deserved the good grades you were going to give them is not something that you strongly believe in or are sure you can defend if challenged, then I think it’s reasonable to follow the vice chair’s suggestion and curve down the students’ grades to reach an average grade that is in keeping with historical norms in the department. After all, if this year’s students are no more talented than, and worked no harder than, last year’s students, then having the average grade remain the same across successive years does sound like the most fair grading methodology.
To summarize, it all depends on your personal convictions regarding what the students deserve. Try to do what you thinks is the most fair for the students, while being attentive to the broader concerns of others in your department.

I think changing the grading structure after the course ends, to make it less generous, is completely inappropriate and can't be defended. It is breach of contract, in my view. The fact that the students don't yet know their grades is immaterial. If I work hard and believe I've done all that was required for a grade and you tell me, no, you get a lower grade, I don't think you can defend the decision. – Buffy Sep 5 '18 at 22:46
• 11
@Buffy grades haven’t been published yet, so all that’s happening is that OP is making an internal decision between himself as to the calibration of the grades. Instructors do that all the time and it’s neither inappropriate nor requires defending, so I don’t understand what you’re talking about. It’s not “no, you get a lower grade”, it’s “here is the numerical score that I’ve decided, after considering all relevant factors, most faithfully represents my evaluation of your work”. – Dan Romik Sep 5 '18 at 23:54

From the student's standpoint that sounds like a game with secret rules in which their work and effort is only one component of grading. The other being some hidden and mysterious process. I don't grade like that. My students knew exactly where they were at all times and had an opportunity to improve their grade if they didn't like what they saw. (Retired now, so past tense). I can play evaluation games at a lower level of granularity (this paper is worth 80...) but when the course ends, they get what they earned. No question. – Buffy Sep 6 '18 at 0:00

Still (strongly) disagree. See the note about granularity above. You are dangerously close to making grading purely subjective. You earn what I say you earn. It is a bad practice. There should be no confusion in the student's mind about their standing and progress. – Buffy Sep 6 '18 at 0:04

@Buffy I like and have upvoted both this answer and yours. I take issue with your comment here that Romik is "dangerously close to making grading purely subjective". In the course of my 60 years of teaching I came to believe that grading really is mostly subjective. I know mine was, after staring at spreadsheets with spuriously precise numbers. – Ethan Bolker Sep 6 '18 at 1:23
You are in a less than ideal situation.
This happened to one of my undergraduate professors, who I had for a year long course (actually, two back-to-back semester long courses). The department told him his average grade for the course was too high after the first semester. The professor told the department he would change his grading in future years, but would keep the same grading for the second semester course because we were the same group of students. This was my professor's first year teaching at my university. I respect him and still keep in touch with him to this day.
If you are unwilling or unable to stand up to your department, I would turn the question on your department and ask them how to handle the situation and make them own the decision if they want you to lower grades. Also, hopefully you have a mentor at your university who can help you with local politics. I would add the warning you might accidentally burn bridges in your department if you do not handle this well.
Make the class harder next time you teach it.
Set the bar higher in terms of learning objectives and challenge your students to meet that higher bar. Continue whatever teaching strategies you were using to promote that engagement, learning, and quality work among your students.
If there is a formal policy requiring a certain distribution of grades, obtain that policy and share it with the students. Share with the students what their grades would be without that policy and what they are with it applied. Tell them where the policy comes from (i.e. which authority/group within the university) and, to the extent you understand it (maybe ask the vice chair for some help here) the reasoning behind it. Then the students can organize to lobby for a change in the policy if they want (as other comments/answers have highlighted, there are good reasons to do so).
If there is not a formal policy requiring a lower distribution, issue the grades as they stand and just use this comment from the vice chair as a feedback point for you to raise the bar for the next class.
If you think the bar is already quite high, and students are meeting it with exceptional work, share some of that exceptional work with the vice chair and offer to ask students' permission to highlight their work in appropriate public promotions of the department's educational programs as examples of what students from your department are successfully able to do.
The most important outcome is students gaining knowledge and abilities they didn't have before. If you can show impressive success at that, and the department can show this to the dean, provost, prospective students, current students' potential employers, etc., the educational mission is a demonstrable success.
Regardless of the grading policy, be sure to give the students the positive feedback you feel they deserve. They worked hard and exceeded the standards you set and deserve praise for that.

Back when I was in the military, I was in a Data Processing A school and has the (mis)fortune to be in a class full of people who knew what we were doing. Yes, we totally blew away the lifetime average of the school, and until the program was revamped due to rate changes, we were mentioned to having had set the highest they've seen, and dared other classes to do better. Don't change it to a curve. There is nothing in the curriculum or subject matter that has them competing with each other, so that should not be part of the grading. – whiskeyfur Sep 10 '18 at 19:22
Giving high grades doesn't cause grade inflation. Grade inflation is where you give higher grades for the same quality of work than the year before. I assume he does understand that but what he wants is to avoid having to explain in the future why grades went down one year.
I think a good way for your department to handle this would be to have a number of other members grade a random sample of your class and move the average accordingly. Better still would be them at the same time grade some previous years samples so the grades are 'calibrated' based on the previous grades.
If there is more than one class, with more than one teacher/lecturer/tutor marking, then you can cross-mark a sample of each group to establish a baseline. This is known as moderation.
You could do a similar exercise if, in previous years and under the same syllabus/criteria, there is student work available as a comparison.
There is a school of thought that says you should never give 100% for a submission because there is always something that could be improved. I disagree with this because if the student addresses all the criteria and meets or even exceeds the standard set then they deserve the credit.
It's like going to work, doing your job to the best of your ability, delivering what was asked (or more) and your employer saying that you're only going to be paid 90% of your salary because there is always something that you could have done better. Nobody would stand for that.
It's the same flawed argument that if you grade a large enough sample of students on a normal distribution then half of them are below average. You don't fail half of the students on this basis because there are modifiers to the sample - not everyone has to take the class, the group of students in the class have progressed to a certain level and those who could not meet the standard are no longer in the group, etc. The students in the class are already at the upper end of the distribution.
The students should not be penalised for delivering what was asked. I would discuss how to address it in the future but submit these grades as they are.
Let's set aside your vice chair's use of the term "grade inflation". No, that term means something else, as PStag has already pointed out. The important thing to know that he's telling you your grade distribution is off from department norms. He's saying he thinks you're an "easy A".
It's up to you to decide what to do with that information. He may or may not be right and you may or not care, especially depending on whether it's a grade on an assignment where everyone gets an A (so what) versus a final grade in a course.
You're the instructor, you decide your students' grades. This is solely your responsibility and your call, nobody else's. If you're satisfied your grading is fair and correct, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You have to call 'em as you see 'em.
But most instructors do like to keep their grading in line with their colleagues'. Most of us would like to avoid students thinking there's a grade advantage to one instructor over another. Also, there are a lot more students than instructors and we expect that with a class-sized sample, we can be more confident of what the distribution of A's and B's should be than of whether an assignment or exam we just wrote will turn out to be harder or easier than we expected.
So you might reach out to your colleagues or bring up the question at your next department meeting, asking others in the department how they set their curves. It might be helpful to know more about how your colleagues decide grades.
But let me get to the real bottom line: If everyone gets an A, it is likely, as WBT argues, that the material was too easy. It is your job to match the material to your students so as to be able to make that distinction. When I read your description of the assignment, it sounded easy to me and I wasn't surprised by what happened.
If it were me, I'd make the project more difficult somehow, add more structure, more hoops for the students to jump through, a more fine-grained rubric with pickier grading, whatever it takes to push the students enough that you can differentiate their performances.
• +1 on all counts. I'll note that being "demanding" and being "generous" aren't inconsistent. But it usually takes a smidgen of "inspiring". – Buffy Sep 7 '18 at 12:17
• "we expect that with a class-sized sample, we can be more confident of what the distribution of A's and B's should be"... I was disabused of this notion a few years ago. I had two sections of the same course, meeting on the same days, receiving identical lectures and exams, etc. On the (uniform department) final exam, 23% passed in one section and 60% in the other. (This being consistent with other assignments/exams; N = 25 in each section.) I'm pretty sure that student performance is often dependent on the section they enter. – Daniel R.

• @DanielR.Collins Twenty-five is a very small class. – Nicole Hamilton Sep 10 '18 at 10:41
If the grades are deserved as you state, and within the marking framework for the course, then hold the line and keep the grades as they are. It is not the fault of the students that they all achieved well within the framework that was set before the semester started, therefore, they should not be 'retrospectively punished' in their grades for doing what they were asked to do, and ultimately doing it well.
This situation does pose a series of opportunities:
1. Restructuring the coursework/assignments
2. Reframing acheivement levels in the marking criteria
3. Department wide review to ensure parity across the student assignments for different courses
In all my lecturing roles, these periodic reviews were undertaken on a fairly regular basis e.g. every year for small adjustments, every 5 years for a full course overhaul.
In your case, as I said, you must maintain the grades as they were deserved in this instance, but for next years cycle of teaching, make sure you have set clear expectations in what is needed to be done to acheive each grading level through a marking criteria matrix (and make sure the students can access this), and structure the coursework, so that additional work can earn extra credit. Students at different levels of abilities will then work at their appropriate level and that will be reflected in a broader distribution of grades.
If however, they all complete the work within the framework you set, complete the extra credit work, and all at a high standard - then they deserve the high grades.
The sentiment of the vice-chair is really quite alarming and very sad: He should have said "What have you done? The engagement with your course is fantastic! I think it would be really valuable if we could have a discussion about your overall approach, and your methods of teaching and assessment and see if we can implement some permanent changes for the seminar in future years, and perhaps on a wider scale in the department."
Of course that's in a perfect world where everyone has plenty of time for workshopping and professional development, and the vice-chair isn't stressed out and run off their feet and isn't able to see past the next fire they have to put out. :)
That, said, I think you should take this tack: Basically, talk about how happy you are with how it's gone, with how engaged the students are, and how this certainly gives you the perfect opportunity to increase the difficulty/scope next time and that you have some guidelines/recommendations for the course in the future to help make it so effective every time it's offered.
Basically, act slightly naive, but completely positively: relentlessly keeping focus on the benefits that have come solely from your hard work, and those that are still coming
It's a tough situation that you are in... You feel like your class deserved the grades you gave them, while the department wants to limit the grades.
I assume that you had a grading rubric for the various subtasks? If yes, great...If no, ok too. There's a difference either way. The good thing for a rubric is you can later point to it and justify grading -- both positive and negative.
My thoughts are to either go to your supervisor and say that this class deserves the higher grades because while people were required to do X they did Y, which was beyond the scope of what they had to do, so they deserve more.
Or, re-calibrate the grades so the people who minimally met the requirements would get an 85%..if they exceeded the minimum, they'll get more -- and rightly so.
The question of distribution of a good (in this case grades) has been extensively discussed in public finance. Warning: if you consider the way economists usually handle questions of distribution cynical, you may not want to continue reading and save yourself from throwing a fit.
Here is how this problem would be addressed from a public economics standpoint. Consider obtaining data on the performance of the students in other classes. If the students consistently scored highly, you may present this as evidence to the department that high grades are justified. If your course is new and has an exotic title you may have a sample of students that is not representative of the overall student pool. This violates the idea that grades should be independent across courses but throwing away (potentially) useful data would be irrational.
However, you may also find out that your students actually perform very poorly in other classes. In this case, you may ask yourself the question whether the criteria by which you score the course are likely to be uncorrelated (or even negatively correlated) with performance in other courses. For example, if you teach an acting class to econ majors...
A third reason why students performed well could be that your teaching style is very motivating or the topic of intrinsic interest to the students. In this case, you need to decide for yourself (or by department policy) what you consider the function of grading the students. (This is where the cynical bit starts.) If you consider grades only to be a job market signal of a student's ability, you may not want to give high grades if the achievement was not due to ability but due to your teaching style/course content. Notice that in most countries grades have exactly that function. Better grades mean (on average) easier admission to further degrees, more job interviews, better jobs. If instead you consider grades to be a measure of the degree to which a student understands the material, you may insist on giving high grades. Just remember that in this case you are perhaps slightly distorting the job market outcomes.
Now here is a strange bit from public finance. You may also care about interpersonal equity between students. If you reward students with high grades, then students who could not attend your class (class size restrictions, limited information) are disadvantaged. Here things become a bit complex. First of all, you would need to check if your student sample is currently worse off or better off than the remaining student pool. Next, you need to balance the efficiency loss due to a worse signal against a potential improvement in interpersonal equity. Luckily, if you do not have any information about the expected lifetime income of your student pool, you may simply ignore this aspect.
tl;dr: I would be highly skeptical of my own grades if they were to vastly differ from the department's and consider it important to find out the reasons for such differences. Once you have found out the reason, you will know whether you want to act on it.

downvoters care to elaborate? – HRSE Sep 10 '18 at 1:24
This is your first problem:
You think just about your students. What about students that got 80 for the work that you are willing to give 95? Is that fair to them?
Your second problem:
Course is too easy. Now it is too late to fix this, but for the future you should make sure students have hard time "maxing out" easily. Not to torture them for fun, but to make sure that the spectrum of outputs is recognized(instead of half of the results piling on around 95).
This brings us to your current situation. You should rescale the grades, but unfortunately this will hurt some students because since course is easy precision of the measurement was bad. But it is unfeasible for you to do anything about it now.

“Unrecognizable Life?” –Antarctic Proving Grounds for Extraterrestrial Exploration of Ocean Moons
BRUIE NASA Submersible
Arthur C. Clarke harshly warned his fellow Homo sapiens not to attempt a landing on Jupiter’s ocean moon, Europa. Ignoring his warning, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers are developing BRUIE, or the Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration for underwater exploration in lunar oceans, such as those on Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus. It will spend the next month testing its endurance at Australia’s Casey research station in Antarctica, in preparation for a mission that could one day search for life in ocean worlds beyond Earth. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8164666295051575}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '65219', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VUCSTE2EXWIB3GLEHWICEYPBKZ4VVBMM', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:fc36f2bf-6567-48ed-9f38-cb804e58cd93>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 23, 1, 30, 26), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.194.207', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:C5MMIRWV3SAY45DOZ6YX7ZA7US2GJ2WX', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:105cac33-14c8-4022-b03b-634f51465f91>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://dailygalaxy.com/tag/bruie-project/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:96ce32b4-d1b4-4a6d-a4ea-5a5e5ab3fef1>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '97', 'url': 'https://dailygalaxy.com/tag/bruie-project/', '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-10-67-67-226.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': '0.19407999515533447', 'original_id': '84362d8f2c1b8769356920d5ee7eb02d58845055cc104f375993ecad52be1a24'} |
How to Begin Competing in Rally
start rallying subaru olympus dirtfish
You’re busy picking gravel out of your hair from your Three Day Program here at DirtFish. Your adrenaline is still turbocharged from getting the perfect slide on a corner in the Mill Run. You want more of that. A LOT MORE. So you decide you want to compete in rally. But how? Given its relatively low popularity, rally in America can feel hidden, inaccessible, and mystic. How to begin competing in rally is one of the most frequent questions we receive from students and fans. This won’t be a step by step guide, but rather a summary of the advice given by the DirtFish employees who compete in stage rally. Whatever your goals with competition might be, we recommend keeping them realistic, reliable, and financially sustainable. Let’s try to spray some gravel on this topic:
One of the best ways to start learning about the sport and how to compete is to attend an event. Start by volunteering at local events to get a feel for the process and organization. This can be SCCA-style rallycross events or stage rally events. The rallycross and rally communities often overlap. You are bound to meet people that volunteer or compete in both. Volunteering will be the best way to meet drivers, crew members, media, and other organizers. Each one will have different knowledge to share pointing you in the right direction on your quest for competition. With some persistence at these events you might create the opportunity to volunteer as a crew member for a team or even as a co-driver. There will be no better way to learn what you actually need for competing in rally than to experience being part of a team actively competing in rally. DirtFish’s own instructor, Jack Harrison, is proof of this path. Jack volunteered for Olympus Rally several years ago, where unbeknownst to him, he watched his future boss, Nate Tennis, rally past him through the woods. Through connections from that event, he earned himself a job at DirtFish. Knowing he wanted to compete, he volunteered to co-drive for a DirtFish shop tech who was rallying at the time. After competing in the Doo Wop Rally, Jack had the opportunity to buy the car from the shop tech. A year later, Jack and myself, would place 2nd in class at the Olympus Rally with that very car. This makes it sound easier than it is. However, none of it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the connections Jack fostered over the years, starting with the simple idea of volunteering at an event.
Rally is a complicated sport, best learned from those already doing it. Through connections made by volunteering, you can find a rally veteran for mentorship. When I began co-driving, I was lucky enough to connect with rally winning co-driver and DirtFish Instructor, Michelle Miller. My first event was co-driving for her. The knowledge I gained from that experience gave me the skills necessary to compete in future events. Expect to make mistakes. But with a mentor, you will learn valuable lessons from their early mistakes. Learn what they do now that makes them successful in competition. Offer your support to them as a crew member, and they’ll become an priceless support network in your endeavors.

After volunteering within the community, the next best thing is to get a car and go race. However, before choosing a car, take a strong look at your financial position. Recognize what you can realistically sustain. Most, if not all, of the top cars in the sport are run by folks able to spend close to a quarter million a year in rally. Many people cannot afford that. Realistically, it would be irresponsible to go into debt to race cars. Calculate your disposable income, set a budget, and choose a financially sustainable class. What sounds better: racing an entire season of rally events learning and growing your skills, or racing only one event because you cannot afford the car? (notwithstanding any damage costs…)
DirtFish instructor, and winner of the North American Rally Cup, Sam Albert, recently broke down the cost of running a national rally event. Based on his experience, he calculated a rough budget of $4,630 for a local event, and $8,418 when adding in cross country travel expenses. None of this includes the cost of building and maintaining his open-class Subaru STI, which he built himself.

This is not meant to crush your rally racing dreams. There are certainly ways to compete without spending as much. SCCA-style rallycross is an affordable first step into the world of rally racing. If you are familiar with autocross, take that format and put it on the dirt. The cost of entry is greatly reduced compared to stage rally, and the rules are more relaxed to encourage more people to participate. A cage is not required, and there is a stock unmodified class. Rallycross is a great place to begin competing. It maximizes seat time and driver development in a safe environment for a fraction of the price of stage rally. DirtFish has hosted several rallycross events. Personally, I love seeing the diversity of cars that show up. I’ve seen everything from stock Toyota Camrys and electric 60s Beetles to highly modified Evolutions and Mirages. DirtFish instructor, Geoff Clark, competes in a 90s Jeep Grand Cherokee. Several former students have begun in rallycross and continued on to build their rallycross car into a stage rally car. It is a great starting point. Locally in the northwest, many of these events are run by Northwest Rally Association. Outside of the region, the SCCA hosts several rallycross events.

When looking to jump into stage rally, we highly recommend you try to find an already built car. This alleviates the time and resources required to build your own. Most likely the cost of a prepared car is cheaper than building one from scratch. The resources saved can be put towards consumables like tires or race entry fees. You can find rally cars for sale in groups on Facebook such as North American Rally (FS/FT/WTB) or on websites like We typically recommend finding something 2-wheel-drive to begin with. Those are usually cheaper to buy and maintain compared to all-wheel-drive cars. Whatever the drivetrain you chose, find the car that fits your budget while still affording you the greatest amount of seat time possible.
Once you have found a car, be sure to learn the rule book. The main rally sanctioning bodies are American Rally Association, NASA Rally Sport, and Canadian Rally Championship. Devour all the information on their websites so that you are the most informed and prepared you can be. Stage rally is a complicated sport with many regulations and ways to incur penalties. It can feel overwhelming at your first rally. This is where having connections with rally veterans and volunteering at events pays off. If you have the chance to work with an experienced co-driver for your first rally, take it. An experienced co-driver can reduce much of the stress associated with running a rally.

As you begin rallying, persistence is key. There will be countless hardships and setbacks. But equally there will be absolutely amazing moments! To quote Stephen McCranie, “the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.” Always be doing something to better your position in the sport; reading rules, staying up to date on news, events, results, networking, and researching everything. Knowledge is power and grit is required.
Lastly, many newcomers get so caught up in the excitement of preparing their car that they tend to forget the best modification for their car: Driver modification. If you want to begin competing, whether rallycross or stage rally, start with a class. Learn the fundamentals of how a car behaves on loose surfaces. Learn what tools you have at your disposal behind the wheel that you might not utilize in day to day driving habits. If you already know the fundamentals, practice makes perfect. Away from the stress of a competition event, you’ll be able to develop new skills and create new breakthroughs in your car control. Initially, classes may cut into your race budget. However, the skills learned may end up saving you repair bills and earning you podiums in the future. At DirtFish, you can use our cars, or you can arrange to bring in your own stage car for coaching.
So when you decide to start competing, set a budget, make a plan, network with the community, get a car, and be ready for a wild ride!

Decoupling of Production Time and Working Time Positive effects on employment by anational decoupling of production time and working time are to be expected, if the demand for a product is relatively price elastic. When costs and prices decrease, demand rises. If such measures are taken not only on national but on intemationallevel, the positive effects on employment will be lower. Demand will react less elastically if all producers reduce prices simultaneously than if individual suppliers gain market shares through price reductions. Yet, from a dynamic point of view, a general non-sector-specific decou· pling of production and working times, the increasing output-capital ratio and the pressure for "capital deepening" will temporarily promote the propensity to invest, If the positive demand·effect of these investments outweigh the capac- ity-effect (and the potential subsequent rationalization effects), a positive net- effect on employment may be the result in the medium-term. Moreover, a higher level of employment could be achieved even with the same capital stock (with given investments). Longer production times, as a competitive measure, in certain enterprises or branches are particularly necessary, when international companies are offered a considerably higher output-capital ratio through the decoupling of produc- tion and working times in other countries with similar production conditions as Austria. From the employment point of view the Advisory Council therefore recommends the decoupling of production and working times particularly for branches with capital-intensive production so as to make possible cost and price reductions, while preserving the legitimate interests ofthe employed. 2.2.2. Adjustment ofWorking Hours to Production F/uctuations In those fields where flexibility represents a decisive competition-related quality dimension for the demand by consumers or enterprises, the adjustment ofthe working time to production fluctuations can constitute a useful measure. The Advisory Council therefore recommends to take into account employ· ment effects when implementing the new possibilities of compensating fluc- tuations of the order volume through adjustment of the working time to pro- duction fluctuations. Positive employment effects can be expected in particular when overtime and extratime are being reduced and when the leave can be taken in blocks. The practical implementation must be decided upon by the social partners at enterprise or supra-enterprise level. 2.2.3. Reduction ofWorking Time A reduction of the regular working hours theoretically allows for a distri- bution of the available amount of work amongst more people. Particularly in view of the increasing output·capital ratio due to constant technical progress this possibility will continue to be part ofthe repertory ofworking time poliey. 25

So not men and women played it, Or played atlanta falcons blanket full of hugs and kisses Shenmue II on XBOX and had a lackluster experience partly basically because they may have never played the first game (Though it did contain a DVD movie version of the first game, But those are never very good specifically in Shenmue where half the game is getting invested into the world). And partly because by 2003 it wasn as excellent as it once was. also why I can understand people not being impressed by it in 2018. But in no way thought once met anybody who had played Shenmue at launch and didn think it was atlanta falcons hat retrograde amnesia defined amazing. I never finished the game to begin with myself (Only rented a Dreamcast and played through maybe 2/3 of this sport but didn finish it) And atlanta falcons record since 1966 now song 2019 hindi hit then played the sequel on XBOX, I only finished the first game some three years later when I bought a used Dreamcast.atlanta falcons youth apparel

There are no surprises on Idol
There's a funny post from our fellow-Idol blogger, the L.A. Times' Richard Rushfield, where in over-the-top style he laments:
Rarely in the history of competitive singing has the cruel, inexplicable hand of fate struck so mighty and unexpected a blow as it did last night when in one remorseless swoop, it removed both Alaina Whitaker and Alexandrea Lushington from our lives forevermore. ...
But on stage we saw last night that bitter shock as the room realized, with the beheading of Alaina, that on any night, anyone could go. Last week's dismissals were uniformly warranted and not unexpected, their pain thus muted (to all but Ramiele). But to lose two such promising, seemingly sure contenders at once, and so early, seems almost too cruel a blow for an "Idol" connoisseur to bear.
Leaving aside Rushfield's unique way of expressing himself, others on the blogosphere seem genuinely shocked that Alaina was cut--you could even hear Alaina wail on the show last night, "But I can sing!"
Uh... since when did being able to sing prevent someone from getting cut on Idol?
Wasn't Alaina watching the night Jennifer Hudson got the axe, leaving such vocal stalwarts as Jasmine Trias and John Stevens on stage?
Or how about when Mandisa was cut even though Ace Young and Kellie Pickler were still hanging around?
Not that Alaina's in the same class as those two, despite what she--and her mom, did anyone else notice how she was glaring the entire time?!--might think.
If nothing else, American Idol teaches us that being really good at one thing isn't enough in this 21st century world of ours. You need the sizzle as well as the steak to succeed.
And, if you're gonna depend on the whims of the voting public, you should accept there's gonna be some random/seemingly illogical decisions (maybe someone should explain to Alaina about George W. Bush/Al Gore/Florida).
But we put up with it... because sometimes the voting public sees things even brilliant experts don't, and those surprises are the sweetest. Just ask Taylor Hicks... or Barack Obama.
And honestly, I wasn't surprised when Alaina got cut--she's a decent singer, but she's not that good, and there's nothing compelling whatsoever about her.
When it comes to personality, I'm with Eileen--there's something very interesting about Kady, maybe that she's so obviously struggling between being herself and being her version of what a pop star is.
I'd much rather keep her around and see if she can pull out of her slump; like Simon, I think she has the potential to win it all, or at least be there at the end.
Whereas Alaina struck me as just another not-bad young singer.

No, you heard it wrong, Eileen -- Alaina was crying, "I can't sing!" meaning she was too overcome with emotion to perform. She did not cry that she "could sing," as in she had actual talent and how could this be happening to me, etc. I just DVR-ed the moment to verify. She cried that she can't sing, she was embarrassed b/c she was crying, then she obviously regained control and was able to do it.

ADD TO ABOVE POST: I meant to start, "You heard it wrong, Jamshid," sorry -- I did not realize Eileen was not the blogger. Oops.
Jamshid Mousavinezhad said...
Hmmm, listening to it a few more times, I think you're right--especially since watching Alaina's face, she does seem embarrassed about crying, not angry about losing. Thanks for the catch!
Sunny said...
I love to read Richard, he's fun, and was spot on regarding the ladies' elimination. I thought Alaina and Alexandrea would be in this for a while longer.
There seems to be a change too in the way the contestant's family and friends are reacting than in years past. Previously the fallen Idol's support system present would at least try to smile through their tears, now they stand there and outright glower. Alexandrea's Pop looked downright angry.

The Rashasa was a Tarn Imperial Fleet starship in service in the 22nd century that was operated by the Tarn. Vessels of this type were equal in battle with the Starfleet vessel USS Verdun.
The crew of the Rashasa were members of the Katula circle. In 2163 the Rashasa encountered the Verdun in the Torgu-Va system during the Federation-Tarn War. The two ships caused enough damage that both vessels needed to be abandoned. The Tarn on the Rashasa sent a message to the Tarn Empire that they had destroyed the Verdun and then abandoned ship. Four-Hundred and Eight survivors landed on the planet Torgu-Va. In 2183 they discovered that the Humans had also survived and resumed their war which continued until 2367.

Q:
How to push an alert or message to web page visitor?
I am wondering if this is possible to push a message from server to web browser??
Like you want to alert user or any message that you want to send to specific user... An example is as chat invitation is sent from chat operator to site visitor...
Is it possible?? i prefer to use PHP, Javascript
I don't want to use AJAX calls to PULL, i want to PUSH.
Looking forward.
A:
You can't actually push yet. You can use Comet techniques, including long-polling, but you can't actually push yet. Someday you'll be able to use web sockets.

4 Major Health Risk’s Of Drinking Soda
Submitted by on February 8, 2009 – 9:50 pmNo Comment

These are all simple little examples of when most of North America are drinking soda, but how did this happen? Why did this happen? Who would want to drink something that burns your throat when it goes down and keeps you up all night?. You could place blame on anyone from the media to the school districts to the government or even right down to your parents for why you drink pop. But here is why you need to stop;
Risk of getting type 2 diabetes
Soda is just liquid sugar and acid; In your average American soda you are looking at around 39 grams of sugar per can, take a look at how much that really is.
Now imagine drinking that every single day and how much sugar you are really putting into your body, but even worse some people are drinking more than one per day, they drink 2 or 3 cans per day. Drinking soda not only makes people become obese, it puts a stress on your bodies ability to process sugar. A lot of Doctors believe this is the reason that the amount of people with diabetes has gone from 6.6 million in 1980 to a staggering 24.2 million people today.
When sugar enters your bloodstream at a fast pace (like you would be doing when you drink a cola) your pancreas has to release insulin into your body. So the more sugar that enters your body the heavier the load your pancreas has to carry so it can process all of it into your cells. So when your body becomes overloaded with sugar the insulin cannot keep up and after a while you will begin to put yourself at risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Ways to defend yourself and body
Dangers of bone and tooth decay
When you drink a lot of the soda’s out there you are not going to find very many health benefits in the first place and you are putting your body at harm to disease like osteoporosis which can lead to weak porous bones. With soda including ingredients like phosphorus and phosphoric acid your bones hardly have a chance, take a look at this study below for further details.
Michael Murray ND and Joseph Pizzorno ND
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition
The risk is increased by the age of the person and sometimes the gender, for example a 12 year old girl would be in greater risk of bone damage than a 23 year old male. With tons of commercials on TV for kids these days showing how much fun it is drinking pop a lot of pre-teens don’t have a chance when they finally realize the harmful side effects they have been given from all the years of drinking soda.
Also a recent study by “General Dentistry” they found that light colored soda and iced tea was especially aggressive in the eroding of teeth enamel in laboratory tests and it didn’t matter if if the soda or iced tea was “diet” or “regular”
What can you do?
• Substitute your cola’s for milk and water and start the road to strong bones
• Brush your teeth at least twice a day and switch to a stronger tooth paste
• Look into calcium supplements if you are having trouble reaching your daily levels. But be careful not to exceed the proper portion on the label because excess of calcium can lead to other health concerns.
Beware of the Caffeine effect
For one can of soda you are basically drinking 1/3 of a coffee and if you think you are dodging a bullet with switching to a diet or sugar free soda you are usually looking at even more caffeine. Some of the health risks you are potentially looking at include:
1. insomnia
2. irregular heartbeat
3. jitters
4. high blood pressure
5. elevated blood cholesterol levels
6. vitamin and mineral depletion
7. Caffeine headaches
One major problem that soda drinkers usually have is that they become some what dependant on the drink and have a hard time putting it down or switching to a substitute. They may have it for every meal of the day and not even notice that they have drank 3 or 4 cans of it in that day alone. Its even harder for a kid to give it up because they don’t understand the physiological effect it has over them.
Whats the cure?
Because your body is used to the daily rush of caffeine your brain is waiting for the drug so it can function like every other day, so when you don’t give your body and mind what it is used to you start to see side effects. One is the caffeine headache which occurs because your your brain starts to constrict blood vessels and decreases circulation causeing a throbing like sympton in your head. You might also notice things like energy levels getting lower and lower and a some what “crash” like feeling where you just want to lay down.
To get rid of this effect you have to slow down the pace of your sugar and caffenine levels into your body, you can’t just stop and quit cold turkey because of the negative effects it will do to you. So instead of drinking a full soda for lunch drink half, then if you have one for dinner drink half again. The next day only drink 1/4 of it and substitue with water or a juice. Then after a few days your body and mind will be running caffeine free and you will notice a great difference in your moods and health.
The gateway
Drinking soda does not make you feel full like you had drank a health shake for instance, but what you do get is all the calories from the ingredients. A lot of people wonder how they are gaining weight… well lets take a look at this: if you drink 18 ounces of cola per day that translates into about 225 calories (on top of your regular daily diet) Over the course of the month that ends up turning into almost 7000 extra calories or about an extra 2 pounds of fat. Turn that into a year and you are looking at 24 pounds with nothing to show except a new pair of love handles.
So with not feeling full while drinking pop you still want to eat and since pop and salad usually don’t go hand in hand you are going to crave something greasy and fatty (see where im heading with this?) Most people taste pop and think fast food, so that is what most people end up eating. Leading to fat obese issues and a full page of health issues I know you know.
Another thing to think about is how pop is still revatility new product, with mankind living for thousands of years we have not built up a tolerance for pop and that is a reason why it still harms our bodies. The same argument can be made for soy milk Vs cow milk.
The fact is that soda is not anywhere near natural and putting unhealthy toxins into your body has zero health effects for your body and mind. So before you use that next dollar on a can of pop think about how long people have been living and surviving with drinking water and what was the latest type 2 diabetes count at? umm almost 25 million I think, do you really wanna add to that number?

How you think has the power to create your life!
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Sounds fancy and complicated but at the end of the day what CBT teaches is this—If you want different outcomes in your life, then think better!
For years, the human mind has been a mystery. Anxiety, depression, anger management problems… all seemed impossible to change. It wasn’t until the 1960’s when a psychiatrist by the name of Aaron Beck began to notice his clients’ thought patterns having a major influence on their feelings. He created a theory and treatment strategy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT.
In the past, we believed that there was a direct causal relationship between things that happened to us in our lives and how we felt about them, meaning, we thought that events caused us to feel a certain way.
• If you take my job away, it makes me mad.
• If my dog dies, it makes me sad.
In CBT, however, we believe that events are not the cause of our feelings, though it can often feel that way. Instead, the theory teaches that it’s our interpretation of the event that determines how we feel.
For example, if I told you that there was a snake on the floor somewhere near your feet right now, how would you feel?
I actually ask my clients this question as we begin to understand the CBT concepts and I usually get “Yikes! I’d be afraid!” For most of us, snakes equal danger. Danger elicits fear. But, every once in a while, I get a response that is very different. One time, a woman said “I’d be so excited!” another time a woman said, “I’d be so angry I‘d want to kill it!”
I love when I get a different answer than the classic fear response because it clearly illustrates this point. Your feeling about having a snake in the room depends upon what you think and believe about snakes.
• For the woman who thinks “Snakes are dangerous. I could get bit.” result in feelings of fear.
• For the woman who felt the excitement, her thought might be “Cool! I love snakes. I wonder which kind it is?” Maybe she has a snake for a pet or is a herpetologist who studies snakes for a living.
• For the woman who became angry, she might think “My nephew got bit by a snake last week and didn’t deserve that. I’d destroy every snake if I could.” She took a defensive and protective stance, holding all snakes responsible for her nephew’s suffering.
This exercise illustrates an important point. Most of us make a critical error in understanding how our feelings are created. We think that something happens and then we respond with a feeling. This cause and effect theory has created a lot of heartache in the world because it implies that we have no control over how we feel. If something happens, then we are at the mercy of that event.
Thankfully, we now understand that there is a critical mid-step that is often hidden from our conscious awareness. The mid-step is the thoughts we have about what happened.
Our feelings are not caused by events. They are caused by what we believe and think about those events. In other words, what we believe determines how we feel!
In order to manage our negative emotions and improve our emotional outlook, there is a process with specific steps to follow.
*Here are the most important things you need to know about how to be a resilient thinker and use cognitive behavioral therapy to get better at it.
1. Understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
What is a thought?
• A thought is a single statement, question or judgment in your head.
• A belief is a grouping of thoughts that you think of as truth.
• A belief carries more weight and is stronger.
• We often interchange thoughts and belief when we talk about them.
• Your thoughts and beliefs usually show up as commentary, meaning we have internal “conversations” that can sound like a voice in our head.
What is a feeling?
• A feeling is a one-word descriptor of an emotion. (See the emotion wheel for examples of feelings) Using one word to describe a feeling helps us identify the feeling separate from the commentary which can be with our thinking
• Every feeling you have is one hundred percent accurate. Feelings are usually what we notice first, especially when they are negative feelings. They can seem to come upon us without warning and can be difficult to control.
What is a behavior or action?
• Your behavior is what you do when you act upon or react to a thought or feeling.
• Often times actions and behaviors can seem completely separate from our thoughts and feelings, but as you will see in a moment, that is not true.
That’s a long list of stuff! But don’t worry, we’ll continually talk through them and reference back to the lists to ensure you feel comfortable with them!
1. Learn to separate out your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Resilient thinkers use self-awareness to notice that their thoughts, feelings, and actions are separate experiences rather than one giant ball of “out of control emotion”.
The Formula
Thoughts cause feelings and feelings cause actions. Our actions give us the outcome we experience.
That’s the formula we need to remember because without this understanding it is usually our feelings that “run the show” which is why most of us have times when we feel very out of control.
If we try to control our feelings straight up without addressing our thoughts and beliefs, we will not be very successful. The same is usually true concerning our actions. If we simply command that someone stop crying, or stop yelling, it does nothing to address the intense feelings or the upsetting thoughts that are surely linked to that behavior.
Think of the last time someone told you to calm down or stop being sad. Did it work? Probably not- and that’s because a feeling is a consequence or result of what you are thinking. Your feeling is generated from your thoughts. And your actions are motivated by both your thoughts and feelings. It’s not until we properly address all three elements that we can begin to have resilient thinking.
1. Learn your ABC’s
Just like knowing the alphabet allowed you to learn to read, knowing your Inner ABC’s will teach help you to become a resilient thinker.
The ABC’s of resilient thinking represent the causal relationship between an event and your thoughts and feelings:
• A= Activating event
• B= Beliefs or thoughts
• C= Consequence (feeling)
Notice that this is in a specific order. A,B,C. But most of us don’t really understand the ABC order. We usually just notice the A and the C
I see a snake (Activating event) and I feel afraid (Consequence or feeling).
We even assume that it is the snake that makes us afraid.
While the snake is certainly part of the equation, it is not the snake that causes our fear, it is actually our belief about the snake that causes fear.
Theory Translation
A= Activating event The snake
B= Belief “Snakes are dangerous. I could get bitten”
C= Consequence I feel afraid
Another Example:
• I got fired from my job today
• It was very unfair. The boss just wanted me out of there so he could hire his brother.
• I am really angry.
Let’s make a change to the belief and see what happens:
• I got fired from my job today
• Finally, it took forever for them to let me go. Now I can take that new job and get the severance package too.
• I am really happy and excited.
Another change to the belief:
• I got fired from my job today
• I am such a failure. No one will want to hire me now. I won’t be able to get a job. I’m going to be homeless.
• I am very scared and hopeless.
As you see from the examples, the same event can produce very different consequences (feelings). Why is this? Because of the B’s, the beliefs in each scenario. Within your thoughts, there is an ocean full of expectations, judgments, and fantasies. What you think and how you think actually makes all the difference!
CBT helps us check those thoughts to make sure that they are accurate, rational and useful to us. When we learn how to work with our beliefs (the B’s) we begin to manage and even direct our feelings for our best good.
We can learn to change our “B” (belief) thoughts from:
• “I’m upset about this but, just because I got fired doesn’t mean I’ll never work again. I can find out the reason and make any changes I need to make so that it is not likely to happen again. “
Notice that the belief didn’t change in a radical way, it just became more accurate, less fatalistic and more rational and supportive. As a result of this positive change, the feeling would then shift as well, changing from despair to disappointment. In this case, disappointment is much less traumatic and could even serve as a positive mechanism to reflect and regroup.
Here’s the really important thing about all this ABC CBT stuff we’ve been talking about—thoughts have the power to create self-fulfilling prophecies!
Our actions are influenced by both our thoughts and our feelings. If we feel fear and hopelessness, we are much less likely to take positive action, especially action that requires us to face our fear. As illustrated in our last example, despair is paralyzing and likely to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you are hopeless, you are much less likely to seek out another job thereby ensuring that your prediction of not ever being hired again, comes true.
The same is true when the thought is reframed to be more accurate and rational. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy in a positive way. The person would have the hope and courage to interview for another job, which would increase her chances of being hired.
As we use CBT, patterns of thinking will become apparent. All of us have automatic thoughts that pop into our head without our awareness. We can learn to recognize these and with practice, learn to shift them from negative and harmful to rational and helpful. The more we practice, the more we learn to be more accurate and flexible in our thinking. These are the main components of resilient thinking.
Here at, we have tools to challenge negative thinking and exercises to adopt a healthy growth mindset to better serve you in your life. These are tools that you can learn and start implementing right away!
So, take some time and get familiar with your personal self-talk. The next time you hear your inner critic speak up, pause before believing every word of what she says. Be mindful, stay neutral, and be kind to yourself. Check it for reason, check it to see if it serves you well. Your resilience and happiness depend on it!
Remember I’m here to help you take care of you!
Please share your thoughts and feelings below and don’t hesitate to visit our forum to continue the discussion!
Take care!

Edit Story
App Pairs Google Glass With Tesla Electric Car, Just Because
Tim Conneally
This article is more than 8 years old.
Independent software engineer and repeat tech newsmaker Sahas Katta has struck again. On Monday, Katta released his first app for Google Glass platform called Glasstesla which pairs Google's experimental augmented reality eyewear with the Tesla Model S electric car.
To call this a "niche" application is even a bit too broad. An estimated 4,750 Model S units were sold in US in Q1 2013, and the Google Glass Explorer program included just 2,000 people. Even though both Glass users and Tesla owners fall into the same early adopter category, a Venn Diagram of the two would reveal only a tiny overlap.
Yet Katta found himself in that overlap. As a Google Glass Explorer and self-confessed geek who had access to a family member's Tesla Model S, he whipped up the app just for fun over a weekend. He admits that it's largely a reverse-engineer job of Tesla's official Android app, mostly because the company doesn't provide developers with an open toolkit to play with.
That being said, the application includes all of the features of the Android app, which aren't necessarily meant to be used while driving. Instead, it focuses on features that are useful when the car is parked: charging can be turned on and off, the internal temperature can be queried and adjusted, doors can be locked and unlocked, the sunroof can be opened and closed, the horn can be honked and the lights flashed. If you decide to park somewhere where that isn't a charging station, you can ping your car and have it show up on a map. It's a set of luxury features for a luxury vehicle.
The head-up display functionality that could take true advantage of Glass' form factor does not actually exist yet. Katta says he'll be able to add this when Google opens up its voice API for Glass.
"I'm already working on it," Katta said. "We'll soon be able to do something along the lines of being able to say 'OK Glass, open the trunk,' for when you're carrying groceries and your hands aren't free."
Driving is perhaps the prime time when your hands and eyes aren't free, so with voice commands, the app will also be able to open the sunroof or change the temperature or do any number of other actions. So even though Glasstesla is nestled in a niche that fewer than 50 people are likely to use, it's on the cusp of something big.
"I think this absolutely highlights the potential of wearable technology and how it will interact with the tools we use every day," Katta said.
He's right, but there's a lot that could change. Google Glass is too much of a departure from the present mobile computing paradigm to be covered under current safe driving laws. It's entirely possible that a decision could be made to ban Glass from moving vehicles like it's been banned in certain static locations. Such is the risk of the bleeding edge.

Is Vitamin C a Cure for HIV/Aids?
The following protocol is recommended for AIDS and AIDS related conditions including lymphadenopathy, idiopathic thrombo- cytopenia purpura, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
As predicted, AIDS patients are usually capable of ingesting large doses of ascorbate (vitamin C). It is desirable that the amount of ascorbate taken orally be maximized. Patients are -titrated to bowel tolerance- (the amount that almost, but not quite, causes diarrhea). A -balanced ascorbate- mixture is utilized which is made up of a mixture of approximately 25% buffered ascorbate salts (calcium, magnesium, and potassium ascorbate) and 75% ascorbic acid. This mixture is dissolved in a small amount of water and taken at least every hour. The purpose of the frequent doses and this balanced mixture is to maximize the amount of ascorbate tolerated without producing diarrhea. Patients are permitted to vary the percentage of ascorbate salts to straight ascorbic acid according to taste. The usual amount tolerated initially is between 40 and 100 grams per 24 hours. -Doses in excess of 100 grams per 24 hours may be necessary with secondary bacterial and viral infections-. As the patient's condition improves, bowel tolerance will decrease.
When intravenous ascorbate is found necessary because the toxicity of the condition exceeds the ability of the patient to take adequate amounts of ascorbate to scavenge all of the free radicals created by the primary AIDS infection and the various secondary infections, the following intravenous solutions should be utilized. Sodium ascorbate buffered to a pH 7.4 and without preservatives is added to sterile water in a concentration of 60 grams per 500 cc. This concentration is twice the concentration I have recommended before because it is well tolerated in young males with large veins. Patients with small veins may be best treated with solutions of 60 grams per liter. The time of the infusions should be over at least a 3 hour period, preferably longer. As much as daily administration of 3 bottles, 180 grams per 24 hours, may be necessary in acutely ill patients, e.g. Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, disseminated herpes, disseminated cytomegalovirus, and atypical pneumonia. Enough ascorbate should be administered to detoxify the patient regardless of the amount needed. Additionally, oral doses of ascorbate should be taken simultaneously with the intravenous ascorbate. -Do not let the patients become lazy and discontinue bowel tolerance doses of ascorbate while the intravenous ascorbate is being administered-.Source: Dr. Robert F. Cathcart, M.D. www.orthomed.com

How to prosper during the coming depression, security
How to Prosper in the coming Depression, Food (continued)
Stocking a pantry is a quick and affordable way to insure you have food in the distant future. We are currently seeing store shelves restocked with items that disappeared for a while. This can give people a sense of security in thinking that things are back to normal when in reality we are looking at a possible repeat of a shutdown in the fall. Keep in mind that factories and processing centers have been closed for several weeks, and commodities such as cattle and crops have been destroyed with nowhere to take them for sale, it is not far reached to consider that the next time a shutdown happens there will be less on the shelves than last time. In the coming weeks and months, it would be wise to buy a few extra items here and there to slowly build a pantry if you are on a budget.
When building a pantry stay away from perishable foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables that will go bad in a short period of time. In the fall it is possible to store long lasting items such as winter squash, root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions; however, this involves having some type of winter storage system such as a root cellar of which there are several different variations available to make or build. I have a friend who buys fruit in bulk when it is in season and at its cheapest price, then puts it in the freezer in the basement. When he needs room, he will can those items by making a jam or preserve that last longer on the shelf than the item would in the freezer.
The three types of food to look for to add to a pantry involve canned goods, dry goods, and freeze dried. Freeze dried is the most expensive and while it has a long shelf life of 25-30 years it is expensive. Canned goods will last for years and currently in my area there is no longer a limit as to how many cans you can buy at one time. Beans and canned meat were some of the first to disappear from the shelves so it is safe to say those might be the first to disappear the next time around. When the toilet paper starts to disappear from the stores be sure to grab the items you can eat instead. Try to stay one step ahead of the crowd when it comes to buying supplies.
Some items you might want to consider picking up that never as in short supply include Whey protein powder. This is a body building supplement that has a shelf life of a few years and makes sure you have complete proteins in your system while meat is disappearing from the stores due to a shortage. A large bottle of multivitamins isn’t a bad idea to have around if your diet is compromised and you find yourself on a limited diet without fresh fruit and vegetables.
Yeast and flour were a surprise to everyone when it was in short supply. With bread flying off the shelves those who knew how to bake bread invested in bags of flour and yeast packets to bake their own bread at home. Stored correctly flour can be stored for ten years. Yeast isn’t as easy to store and dies off after a year but there is a way to use bacteria in the air to ferment wet dough and make a sour dough bread.
Most importantly buy items that you will eat and enjoy eating. There is no point in buying cans of Spam because you noticed other people doing it. If you want to stay happy and positive during another Shutdown make sure you have food in the house that you enjoy. If that means having boxes of Doritos lining your walls by all means to that. It is better that you want to eat than dread having another bowl of lentil soup while wondering what the heck a lentil is.
If this is your first time creating a pantry take your time, buy items you enjoy and rotate your stock. Make sure items that are going to expire soon are not kept in the back of the shelf. Use what you have over time while constantly replenishing your supply. Before you know it, you can have a few weeks if not a few months’ worth of food.
Fishing was an item I forgot about in my last post about food. When I was a kid, I had a neighbor who went fishing almost every day from spring until fall. He would come home when he caught his limit and spent an hour filleting his fish and storing them in a freezer. During the winter months his family would live off the fish having cost them nothing expect for a fishing license. I know that most people don’t have the time to fish all day and the man I am talking about was on disability from a motorcycle accident. Even if you were to go fishing over the weekend and caught your limit, in Michigan its 25 bluegill a day, plus whatever other species you caught, that adds up over time. If you don’t own a freezer you can also smoke the fillets to preserve the meat. If you already own a fishing pole the rest of the material is cheap to find to start bringing home some food. The most expensive investment is time and if you don’t enjoy fishing then it will be more expensive for you. Honestly, you’re better off finding another hobby and source of food.
With each state being different, check with your local DNR to find out what is legal to catch and when, the fishing methods that can be used, and get your license before heading out to the water. It is better to ask too many questions than be caught doing something that is illegal and put you into serious trouble. Most of the time fishing is easy but do some research first to make sure you are keeping everything legal.
How to prosper during the coming depression, Money
There are two huge problems that come to mind when I think about the average American and money, we own a lot of debt and most people could not write a check for a $500 emergency bill if they needed to. We have a bad habit of looking at what we make in a month and figuring out how to spend most of it or more if we can. Currently, being unemployed sounds like a dream come true with a $600 bonus given to unemployment recipients on top of what the state is handing out however as I write this on May 13, 2020 that bonus is drying up in July. After that good luck paying your bills.
I have hopes that this virus gives the average American a wake up call on their personal finances and last month 2.1 trillion dollars was put into savings accounts, something that hasn’t happened since 1981. When it matters Americans will save money but when it counts you quickly learned its not enough to cover what is to come. Back in 2009, people squeezed their wallets and cut out all the things they realized they didn’t need. Vacations were cancelled, kids were pulled out of over priced prep schools, cars were sold or handed back to the bank, less people ate out for meals, the coffee pot had the dust cleaned off of it, cable service was cancelled, and the latest fashion trends were traded for the years prior. People know how to save money, but when the situation is going to be worse than 2009 with little chance of a bail out for the little guy how far are people willing to go to save a buck?
Considering the interest rates that people have on their debts compared to the interest earned on savings accounts we should talk about debt first. If you are looking for a more comprehensive approach to paying off debt check out The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. To sum up the easiest path to getting out of debt, pay off your small bills first. Dump everything you can into getting rid of those debts and move up to bigger items over time. Pay off the credit cards and hospital bills that have been killing your credit. Get the debt collectors off of your back until you have the car and house left, if you have payments on those, then work on the car balance. The quicker the better. If you have a manageable house payment, I would suggest only making the payment during the depression instead of paying it off. The monthly payment won’t go up while the cost of other items will during that time. With your other debts out of the way you now have cash to buy the things you need while keeping a roof over your head.
Cut down your monthly bills as much as you can. I know that during the stay at home orders everyone is watching more television, and if you are smart you pay for internet and a few streaming services which is a hell of a lot cheaper than cable TV. At this point you may want to consider which service you enjoy watching the most and cutting out the rest. How much Hulu, Disney plus, Amazon prime, YouTube red, Netflix, or google plus can you really watch? What shows do you enjoy, who offers the most content and get rid of the rest. Let’s face it, the Mandalorian was the only good show on Disney plus unlike the Star Wars movies they have been making the last couple of years. Cut the rest of the crap out of your budget and start spending more time doing other things besides sitting on the couch.
Cancel your gym membership, you haven’t gone since January and your new years resolutions disappeared along with the rest of your plans for 2020.
Put your Keurig right where it belongs, in the trash. Each box of those stupid pod things only gives you twelve cups of coffee. A bag of coffee will give you 12 pots of coffee with 8 cups in each. Do the math you are getting screwed and NO the coffee does Not taste better.
Say goodbye to Starbucks and Biggby coffee. Have they ever made your coffee how you like it? Stop handing your money over to people who can not spell your name right.
Most of the clothes I own I bought at second hand stores. You would be surprised how many new clothes are tossed to your local goodwill and salvation army thrift stores because they don’t fit correctly or they are out of fashion. You can find name brand items for a fraction of the retail cost.
Just because there is a sale, or some kind of deal, at a store doesn’t mean you have to buy that item. There was one black Friday when a co-worker posted the $1000 television they bought for $300. They bragged about saving $700 until another co-worker commented that they saved $300 by not buying a TV that they didn’t need. You can argue amongst yourselves who was the smarter of the two but at the end of the day the second co-worker still had $300 in their bank account.
Cook at home. Don’t tell me you don’t know how to cook. The instructions are on the box. Cooking is like sex; you only get better at it with the more you practice.
So now you are saving money and maybe you have a bit sitting in the bank. What do you do with it?
There are several options available to you. Personally, I like the Ron Swanson approach and have a bit stashed away in gold and silver. Can you make money on buying precious metals, sure. It’s simple math. Buy low and sell high. It’s like any other commodity. The point isn’t to make money though it is to protect your wealth against inflation. Precious metals can be traded anywhere and keep their value. Money on the other hand fluctuates and tends to lose its value when the economy goes into turmoil. Precious metals tend to do better when things are rough. It is never a bad idea to have a bit stashed away in case an emergency comes up.
US savings bonds, don’t expect these to mature during your lifetime with a current interest rate of 0. With a national debt of 25 trillion dollars coming up by the end of this year I doubt any of those will be paid out in several decades if at all.
Stocks, the stock market is the one pyramid scheme that came up with the best sales pitch of the last 100 years. It’s like Amway except when you are about to cash out the market tanks and you are stuck working until 70 years old because all of your savings disappeared while corporations were bailed out. This happens like clock work every ten years.
Savings accounts, I started a savings account for my new born daughter a few months ago. I put $100 in there to start out and three months later I received a statement that her new balance due to interest was $100.01. The current interest rates for savings accounts is under 1%. At this point what is the difference between having cash at home you can access at any time and money in the bank that doesn’t gain any value, while they are loaning your money out to other people I might add?
It is important to have assets. Pay off the house. Own land. Find things that increase in value instead of depreciating over time. When you drive that new car off the lot it immediately loses value. That signed copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas sitting in the case at the book shop will continue to gain value over the years. The days that a man enjoys owning a boat is the day he buys it and the day he finally sells it. If you have a hobby besides beanie babies take advantage of the knowledge you have. It is not hard to find things that are overlooked at estate sales and build a collection of wealth under people’s noses. Recently I bought a copy of A Cook’s Tour by the late Anthony Bourdain. I later found out that the $3 first edition hard cover copy was signed by the author. A book that regularly sells for $250 on eBay. I could flip it and take that money to do other things but Bourdain isn’t exactly losing any popularity these days. I think it’s a safer bet to sit on it and wait until I need that money and cash it in later for what will still be more than $3.
To summarize my savings advice, keep money in the bank if you don’t like having access to it and like having other people make money from it except for you. Gold and Silver are safe bets for long term security of your wealth. Invest in things that you know will increase in value over time, except Beanie Babies. Buy land.

Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
How to prosper during the coming Depression, transportation
Most Americans own some form of automobile, however only a small percentage know how to maintain them. If you are looking to keep your ride on the road and save some money along the way I highly suggest buying a Chilton auto repair manual for the year, make, and model of the vehicle you own. There are two schools of thought when it comes to not doing your car repairs, it’s too complicated or let the professionals handle it.
I bought a 2006 Toyota Corolla back in 2008 and I have only taken it to the dealership one time after it was purchased. This was for the “free” oil change that came with the vehicle. There are several reasons why I will never take it back there, for anything. The Corolla came with a 250 point inspection that insured it was in like new condition when I drove it off the lots but when I took it there for the oil change three months later the mechanics continued to pile on a list of things it needed besides the oil change. At one point a woman carried the air filter into the waiting room and said it needed to be replaced. The filter was still white except for a maple tree seed, one of those annoying helicopter like blades that fall to the ground every spring, and told me it was clogged. I took the tree seed out of the filter and told her to put it back in. once they started to add things to the oil change, I was done with that place. Either they never did the inspection before selling the vehicle or they were trying to rip me off. I’m not saying that every place is like that but I have heard other horror stories about $90-120 oil changes at those quick lube places from unsuspecting customers who didn’t know better. It has never cost me more than $30 to do my own oil change at home and it takes less than 15 minutes. Sure, it’s dirty and you have to crawl under the car but at least you know the job is done, what it cost, and that it was done right.
Granted there are things you can not do on your own. Changing tires needs to be done by a professional. The exhaust system, unless you know how to weld, should be done by a professional. Things like, replacing a headlight, changing the air filter, replacing the battery, checking tire pressure, topping off coolant, even replacing your own brake pads can be done at home if you know how to do it. That is where the Chilton’s manual comes in, showing you step by step how to work on your own car so that you aren’t paying somebody $50 an hour to do it for you and charging you extra for the parts that you can get from your local Auto Zone.
Don’t have tools? Instead of buying what you will need brand new for a premium look for these things at garage sales and estate sales in your area. There was a time when people worked on there own cars and it was a common practice. Many of those tools have a life span that will outlive us and can be handed down for several generations. Craftsman, Mac, and Milwaukee tools are top of the line and come at a high cost brand new. To find these at a discount is a steal when they come along.
Junk yards are a gamble and you have to be careful of what you are buying if your try to buy used parts for your vehicle. There will be times when you don’t have an option, especially if you have an older car, but often there are new parts still sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to have the dust brushed off them.
Spend a little extra to increase the life of your vehicle. When I change my oil I put full synthetic in instead of the cheaper generic brand options on the shelf. I find that the engine runs smoother and studies have shown that it increases the life span of the motor. You can decide to do this if you want but I don’t plan to have another car payment for a long time to come.
Protecting your investment is important. There are a few, simple ways to make sure your vehicle is never broken into. The common sense approach is to make sure there is nothing valuable left in the car that can be seen from people walking past. Keep your car clean and boring and nobody will think to smash a window to steal that phone, GPS map, or change in the cup holder. What they can’t see they won’t know about. Add an NRA sticker to the back of the car regardless if you are a member or not. Thieves will think you are a gun owner and will be less likely to brake into it. Of course, the next step to freak people out is to leave old copies of magazines like Guns and Ammo in the back seat to make thieves think you are a gun nut. At the end of the day always make sure your car is locked. At the first apartment complex I lived in it was common to walk outside at 6am and find most of the cars with their doors open and everything removed from the glove box and cupholders. Some thieves will simply check the door handle to see if it is unlocked and then go to work removing everything and throwing it into a bag.
So, you don’t own a car. If you are one of those people who use public transportation you can save money by ride a bike or walking to work. I know this is frowned upon by a good portion of our society but think of the benefits that come from these practices. You don’t have to fit in working out because you are doing it twice everyday going to work. The cost of good shoes or a bike is a fraction of what you will pay in a year for bus or train fare. Don’t talk to me about Uber, it is the Keurig of public transportation. It will cost you more per trip than just transporting yourself from point A to point B.
If you own a bike take the time to learn how to do your own maintenance. Purchase a flat tire kit for a few dollars. Wear a helmet. Unlike the rest of the body the brain does not heal when it is damaged. For the sake of your own sanity buy a kryptonite lock. I have seen too many bikes stolen in my home town because people either ran inside a place for a split second only to find their bike gone when they walked out. Even chains and padlocks don’t work. spend the money on the one time purchase of a lock that bolt cutters can not remove.
Overall, not having a car will save you more money in the long run, that is true. Freedom of mobility comes at a cost and if you want the option of getting out of a bad situation quickly it will pay to own a car. Owning a car also helps if you were to lose your job and future employment is only available at a farther distance than you are accustomed to. When you increase your availability, you become more employable. A common question asked at job interviews is “do you have reliable transportation?”
How to prosper during the coming depression, food
As I write this there is the beginning of a food shortage happening in the United States. Many of the thing we are witnessing happened before during the great depression with farmers dumping milk they can not sell and food rotting in the fields. At the moment this only applies to meat and milk, however fruit and vegetables will be next since those seasons have not started and this virus in nowhere near finished with its agenda.
The last time I was at the local supermarket I saw the empty shelves and freezers wondering where my Cornish hens were and the cheap cuts of beef that I know how to turn into a $50 steak. Everything was gone except for some ground turkey that had been pulled out of a deep freeze.
I had to become crafty in finding places that would not be affected by the current shortage and if you have any granola eating, tidied wearing, “I only eat local” friends you may have a good idea where you can score some food in the coming years.
Two places came to mind in my town. The first is a small market where the owner is middle eastern and has local sources for meat that butcher it in the Halal style that Islam requires. This type of meat is not going to be produced by a large corporation and therefore the majority of his meat is also from similar, smaller, outlets. To this day his coolers have been filled with fresh meat and poultry with no problems in supply.
The second place that I started going to is a newly opened market downtown that is smaller and more expensive but there is an advantage to shopping here. One of the owners is a third-generation rancher and has access to beef all year round. The beef is butchered and processed by the owner cutting out any middle men. This place also has connections with local Indian tribes for smoked fish and Amish farmers who supply them with chicken and pork. These are the places I have found so far for my own food but here are some ideas for where you can look for your own food in your area.
Farmers markets are opening and it wouldn’t hurt to make friends with your local farmers who like having regular customers they can depend on for income. Even better than a farmer’s market is joining a CSA and having your share of a farm delivered every week for a majority of the season. The lump some up front might hurt but not needing to buy fresh produce over several months takes a burden off your grocery bill. While other people are struggling to find produce that might not make it to the shelves of the grocery stores your food is set aside and waiting for you because somebody grew it specifically for you. Some CSA farms also offer meat and poultry as well as vegetables, expanding what is available and making the hunt for good quality food easier.
Growing your own food is always an option even if you have limited space. For those of you who own your own house you have a huge advantage over the millions of people who don’t. That nice green lawn that you might be proud of, you can tear that up any time now. The luxury of having a lawn is an idea that needs to go the way of the dodo. In Europe, royalty would flaunt their wealth by having vast, unused fields of green grass showing the public that they had no need to work that land for their food. It was a gross mismanagement of wealth that continued to the united states and unfortunately didn’t die along with the control over the country by the British. Some of their bad habits stayed with us and now it’s time to kick it to the curb.
Victory gardens are springing up again, a tradition from WWII that kept the publics need for food down and meant more resources could go to the war effort. This time around the Victory garden could make sure you have food on the table while items are limited at the stores and harder to find. Several books are available for new gardeners and I will include a list of titles are the end of this article for those people who are interested.
Foraging is a favorite pass time for quarantine victims looking to get outdoors these days. On recent fishing trips it was common to see people walking through the woods with their heads hung low looking for morels. Mushrooms might be one of the few things to look for in the spring but other times of the year there will be berries, various greens, maple syrup, and nuts. I have spent many afternoons in early July collecting raspberries and black berries to freeze at home or turn into wines or jam. There was that time I collected dandelion leaves for salad and every year I make a batch of dandelion wine from the flowers. Foraging is a great way to learn how much food is located in your own yard.
Hunting is the last subject I will discuss in this post. Living in Michigan, hunting is a part of our culture. This was a subject that I was introduced to later in life, heading into the woods for the first time at 33. I have had some success and while I can’t remember how many squirrels, I have taken home, I can tell you that I bagged two turkeys over the years but have yet to drag home a deer. Hunting is a complicated subject and one should check their state laws before marching into the forests to bring home some meat. The cost of starting to hunt can be high for those who do not already own the equipment for it. Firearms, bows and arrows, muzzleloaders, boots, blinds, warm clothes, calls, bait, the list goes on and on. There is an investment of time to consider as well. We have all heard those stories of the guy who walks into the woods, kills a deer in five minutes, loads it into his truck and drives off. Odds are that will not be you. The years I have spent going to the same public land I know where the deer are, how they travel, and where to be. I have sent guys in telling them where fresh tracks are and the kind of deer in area. Later I get a thank you and find out they bagged a deer either that day or the next right where I told them. They had the time to spend waiting, I did not. It can be as simple as that.
Hunting is a long and vast subject in which I will cover in future posts, but for the moment it is a place to consider getting protein when it is difficult to find in the store. The amount of meat you can get from a deer for the cost of a few hours and a $1.50 shotgun shell doesn’t compare to the cost of a T-bone steak.

How to Prosper during the coming Depression, introduction
The following series will be about how to prosper, or at least do well, during the coming depression. Times are again changing and we must do so with them. The current situation with Covid-19 and job losses is revealing huge problems in our economy and our social structure, problems that will not be solved with a magic bullet and will likely last for years to come.
The following post will cover various subjects such as, saving money, various ways to find food, new hobbies that will help you save money, new ways to think about economics, and much more. Things may be tough in the coming years but there are many things you can start to do now to prepare yourself and your family to weather this event. The biggest thing to prepare yourself for is the amount of work it will take to live a better life in hard times. Work has a bad connotation with it and that mindset must change as well.
There was a time in this country when a person could pride themselves on the amount of work they did and how well they did it. Over the years that mindset has been replaced with “work is for suckers” and now people consider themselves too good to do the hard work that is needed to stay afloat in this world.
Many people look for quick fixes for problems including our government and in return we learn that same problem was just kicked down the road to be dealt with again. This would include the stimulus checks that were sent out to keep the economy afloat but ignored that it this payout added 4 trillion dollars to the national debt with no plan to pay it back. During this time, I would like to think that bill is not my problem. What is more important is knowing that my family has a roof over their heads, food in their stomachs, and are safe from those who wish to do us harm. It’s all anyone can ask for and that is what this blog is about.
If you are looking for advice on how to prepare yourself for what is on the way this is the place for you. It is a work in progress so if you find anything that isn’t accurate or think something was left out please mention it in the comment section. The information will only help others who are interested in the same thing. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1486', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9754055142402648}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '108094', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QWLBQBG5CRWPZJQNCH5ASMA4HF27TXEW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:bf39dcb8-0177-4cf8-b120-cede67837078>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 28, 1, 0, 35), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.25', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:P4CTY7RLX7BK7LPSY3IPINCWTBVP6AMH', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:167d91df-d63d-42c7-87bc-2fef0eb083f6>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://thecollapseexperiment.com/tag/depression/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:eaaff6a3-434c-4fa7-8322-2dd071adf40f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '7007', 'url': 'https://thecollapseexperiment.com/tag/depression/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-24\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May/June 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-62.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': '0.030891895294189453', 'original_id': '083bf22f15f13b12decbb23b31fc08556c3fb311f14dd7eca89c7481e41c59a3'} |
6 Easy Ways You Can Have Package-Free Plants
My garden beds have all been prepared and I’m eager to fill them with lots of vegetables, herbs and fruit plants! I also want to fill up my ornamental gardens with more plants.
I could easily create plenty of waste if I were to order plants and seeds online or drive to garden centres and buy potted plants and packets of seeds, but I don’t do that.
I use more rewarding methods to get my plants, methods that continue the themes of reducing waste and the use of resources, as well as self-reliance, frugality, and building community connections, because in my mind, these are things that matter!
So how do I do it?
1. Buy bareroot
Bareroot plants are plants you can get with bare roots, that is, not in a pot. You can buy nearly all deciduous plants bareroot – everything from fruit trees to roses and ornamentals, and they’re available during winter when the deciduous plants are dormant. Bareroot trees often come with tags; I choose to keep these so that I don’t forget which varieties I have.
I actually spent a number of days this winter moving my fruit trees from the old house to our new house while they were dormant (originally purchased bareroot), so I haven’t spent any extra money or created any extra waste in establishing my orchard.
2. Propagate from cuttings
Propagating your own plants is a great way to get package free plants. One easy way for home gardeners to propagate plants is by taking cuttings. A cutting is a length of plant material taken from the plant to start a new plant. Many perennial herbs and shrubby plants will grow well from cuttings, for example I have grown mint and rosemary well.
You can propagate cuttings from the plants you already have in your garden, but if you are looking for new plants, simply ask friends, family or people in your neighbourhood if it would be okay to take some plant cuttings. They shouldn’t mind because you really don’t need a lot of plant material to get started.
3. Root division
Another easy way for home gardeners to propagate plants is by dividing clumps of plants by the roots. It works well for strappy-leaved plants like native grasses or plants which have multiple stems coming from the ground. Simply dig up the large parent plant, then cut through the roots and replant the separate pieces. Propagation by division does differ in timing for different plants so when you are becoming familiar with which plants can be divided, try to become more familiar with when it can be done too.
The previous owner of our garden left behind a rhubarb plant. I cut through the roots with a knife and now I have three rhubarb plants in a better position in the garden. Other plants that can be easily divided from parent plants include strawberry runners and raspberry suckers.
Again, you can multiply the number of plants you already have for free and without packaging, or you can get them from other home gardeners – we’re a generous bunch so just ask!
I also recently filled out a bed of native grasses by digging around the bases of the larger plants to get the smaller ones, which I replanted in the bare spaces.
1 month on and they look healthy.
4. Let your plants go to seed
I deliberately let my plants go to seed so that I can collect seed for the next round of planting and so that I get lots of baby plants popping up in the garden without having done any work at all. You will have an abundance of seeds and plants just from doing this once with your best plants.
self sown rocket
Self sown leek
Self sown Italian parsley and fennel
Self sown carrots
The great thing about collecting seed and propagating the best performing plants in your own garden (or neighbourhood) is that you will have plants specifically suited to your conditions and microclimate. This means they will be stronger and healthier and will require less work. Some seeds can also be eaten and many plants, including vegetables have large beautiful flowers which attract beneficial insects. You can store the dry seeds in jars or in paper envelops and bags. Don’t forget to label them and keep them in a cool, dry location.
5. Seek freebies and give freely
Hopefully after reading up to this point you will see how you can generate an abundance of plants – probably a lot me than you actually need. The best way to use this abundance is to share it! You could use your excess to start trading / swapping / bartering for plants you don’t have but would like.
How? There are heaps of options ranging from just talking to and sharing between friends and family, to joining a garden club or produce swap to make new friends, learn new skills and share excesses. You could start a sharing table at your workplace, playgroup, or community hub. Olive At Loch Cafe is one example.
I am constantly surprised at how many of my needs are met simply by asking through forums like this. But don’t expected great results every time, or to have your needs met immediately. Think ahead about what you require and start the search earlier than the day you want to plant plants!
6. Reuse and recycle
If you have to buy packaged plants, make sure the packaging can be reused and recycled, and don’t forget to take your own bags, boxes, or newspaper to carry them in.
Pots can often be returned to growers who will reuse them (they’ll appreciate the cost savings). If you can’t return them anywhere, trade them for plants or give them away on social media. As a last resort, put them in your recycling bin.

Have to agree about bare rooted deciduous plants. This is also cheaper and the plants get a better start. eg roses. Nurseries like to sell them in spring/summer in flower & pot them up to achieve this. They then need to be fussed over all through the hot weather to keep them alive. If bought bare rooted and planted in winter they will establish much more easily.
Hey Tammy thought I would send you this. Much better second go of drying out chicken bones and processing them for the compost. We have two roast chooks every fortnight and it was upsetting me putting carcasses in the bin.
This time, while I was cooking something else, I cooked the bones and then left them in the oven to dry in the residual heat overnight.
Next day- ground them up and it’s more powder-like.
Love your blog. Best one I have seen on zero waste. Thanks for doing it! Kirsti
Hi Kirsti, that’s great that it worked better this time, thanks for following up on that. Leaving them in the oven was a great idea. And thank you for your encouragement and support, it’s most appreciated! 🙏🏻 Tammy 🙂

A fleet of driverless cars and trucks interacting to maintain website traffic relocating efficiently can enhance general website traffic circulation by at the very least 35 percent, scientists have actually revealed.
The scientists, from the College of Cambridge, set a tiny fleet of small robot cars and trucks to drive on a multi-lane track as well as observed exactly how the website traffic circulation altered when among the cars and trucks quit.
When the cars and trucks were not driving en masse, any type of cars and trucks behind the quit cars and truck needed to quit or decrease as well as await a space in the website traffic, as would usually take place on a genuine roadway. A line up swiftly created behind the quit cars and truck as well as general website traffic circulation was reduced.
Nevertheless, when the cars and trucks were interacting with each various other as well as driving en masse, as quickly as one cars and truck dropped in the internal lane, it sent out a signal to all the various other cars and trucks. Automobiles in the external lane that remained in prompt closeness of the quit cars and truck decreased somewhat to ensure that cars and trucks in the internal lane had the ability to swiftly pass the quit cars and truck without needing to quit or decrease substantially.
In Addition, when a human-controlled chauffeur was placed on the ‘roadway’ with the independent cars and trucks as well as walked around the track in a hostile way, the various other cars and trucks had the ability to pave the way to prevent the hostile chauffeur, enhancing safety and security.
The outcomes, to be provided today at the International Seminar on Robotics as well as Automation (ICRA) in Montréal, will certainly serve for researching exactly how independent cars and trucks can connect with each various other, as well as with cars and trucks regulated by human motorists, on genuine roadways in the future.
” Independent cars and trucks might deal with a great deal of various issues connected with driving in cities, yet there requires to be a means for them to interact,” claimed co-author Michael He, an undergraduate trainee at St John’s University, that made the formulas for the experiment.
” If various auto makers are all creating their very own independent cars and trucks with their very own software application, those cars and trucks all require to connect with each various other efficiently,” claimed co-author Nicholas Hyldmar, an undergraduate trainee at Downing University, that made a lot of the equipment for the experiment.
Both trainees finished the job as component of an undergraduate study job in summertime 2018, in the laboratory of Dr Amanda Prorok from Cambridge’s Division of Computer technology as well as Modern Technology.
Lots of existing examinations for numerous independent driverless cars and trucks are done electronically, or with range designs that are either also big or also costly to perform interior trying outs fleets of cars and trucks.
Beginning with economical range designs of commercially-available cars with practical guiding systems, the Cambridge scientists adjusted the cars and trucks with movement capture sensing units as well as a Raspberry Pi, to ensure that the cars and trucks might connect through wifi.
They after that adjusted a lane-changing formula for independent cars and trucks to collaborate with a fleet of cars and trucks. The initial formula determines when a cars and truck needs to transform lanes, based upon whether it is secure to do so as well as whether transforming lanes would certainly aid the cars and truck step via website traffic faster. The adjusted formula permits cars and trucks to be loaded extra carefully when transforming lanes as well as includes a safety and security restraint to avoid collisions when rates are reduced. A 2nd formula permitted the cars and trucks to spot a forecasted cars and truck before it as well as make room.
They after that examined the fleet in ‘self-concerned’ as well as ‘participating’ driving settings, utilizing both regular as well as hostile driving practices, as well as observed exactly how the fleet responded to a quit cars and truck. In the regular setting, participating driving enhanced website traffic circulation by 35% over self-concerned driving, while for hostile driving, the renovation was 45%. The scientists after that examined exactly how the fleet responded to a solitary cars and truck regulated by a human through a joystick.
” Our layout permits a variety of useful, affordable experiments to be executed on independent cars and trucks,” claimed Prorok. “For independent cars and trucks to be securely utilized on genuine roadways, we require to recognize exactly how they will certainly communicate with each various other to enhance safety and security as well as website traffic circulation.”
In future job, the scientists intend to make use of the fleet to examine multi-car systems in extra complicated circumstances consisting of roadways with even more lanes, crossways as well as a bigger series of automobile kinds.

Competition, not just collaboration, can push forward sustainability
As the lifeblood of the private sector, competitive juices help develop innovative ideas and can even drive public policy

As Michael Porter, Peter Drucker and all the modern gurus of business literature agree, competition is the lifeblood of enterprise and business. It is through clear competitive positioning, distinctiveness and astute management that the private sector creates economic value and growth.
Competition driving sustainability
This fundamental driver, the search for competitive advantage, produces fresh ideas and actions. It is through such innovation that the great breakthroughs in applied engineering and technology have been made. Think of Henry Ford, who sponsored the development of the assembly line in motor car production. Or, more recently, Steve Jobs's return to Apple in 1996, resulting in development of the iPhone and iPad, and moving the company from near-bankruptcy to become the one of the world's largest companies.
National competitive juices also drive some aspects of public policy. For example, the race between the US and USSR in the 1950s to put a man in space was eventually won by Russia when Yuri Gagarin circled the earth in 1961.
There is no shortage of examples of innovation driven by competitive juices leading to sustainable solutions. In product development, the early examples of Hindustan Unilever's individually packaged soaps and Vodafone's M-Pesa product to allow mobile phone banking in Kenya, sit with today's efforts by Standard Chartered to creating sustainable growth through access to finance, with products targeting SME and micro-finance for the unbanked.
In their supply chains several companies are working on innovative solutions to sustainable agriculture. Examples include Diageo and SAB Miller on barley production in Africa, Nestlé on milk supplies in Pakistan or Cadbury's (now Kraft's) Cocoa Partnership to preserve vital supply chains in Ghana.
In the distribution chain Coca-Cola's micro-distribution centres in Africa have developed new ways to employ local entrepreneurs to get their products "the last mile" to small urban and rural outlets. Companies are also using innovative marketing to include their customers in their sustainability journeys. These include M&S's Plan A and Patagonia's Common Threads Partnership.
While companies may be willing to share their initiatives outside the competitive context, for example, with NGOs and companies outside their sector, in almost every case, these models have been developed to improve the competitive positioning of each company, improve their brand value and increase quality and quantity of sales.
Cross-sector collaborations
On the other hand, we know that as the cost and complexity of scientific developments have increased, the necessity and advantages of a collaborative approach have come to the fore, especially in experimental and research science. The Large Hadron Collider project involved more than 10,000 scientists and engineers from more than 100 countries working together towards a shared goal. Or the International Space Station project, where space agencies, scientists and astronauts from the US, Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada are uniting to work on what has been described as the most significant collaboration in modern history.
A third dimension on this debate, and one about which the International Business Leaders Forum and its partnering initiative (TPI) knows a lot. It is the need for the various sectors of society to partner effectively to address the challenges of achieving sustainable development.
No single sector has all of the answers. There is a pressing need for effective partnership between the private sector, with its access to financial, innovative and delivery resources; the government sector with the legitimacy and authority it brings; and civil society with local knowledge, trust credentials and local delivery capability. To get these disparate players to work effectively together in productive collaboration is no simple task.
High stakes, high rewards
So how are the great challenges to achieving a sustainable planet to be overcome? Through the drive, energy and consequent innovation of raw competition, through the efficient collaboration of the scientific and academic world, or through cross-sector partnerships with the principles of equity, transparency and mutual reward?
Inevitably, the answer probably involves a combination of all three. But don't be surprised if the private sector continually seeks to "norm" back to selfish competitive advantage in such interaction. It's in its blood. But at best it is the driving force for the kind of breakthrough innovation that we desperately need to get out of this unsustainable mess.
The trick is to preserve the best of the competitive energy and harness it to collaborative processes to achieve scale and global impact beyond the reach even of the largest private sector enterprises. To do this without killing the golden goose of competition and consequent innovation is the trick we need to play.
The stakes in this game are very high but so are the rewards: a sustainable planet where 9 billion people can live comfortably together. That surely is worth playing for?

SABREVOIS DE BLEURY, CLÉMENT DE, seigneur and merchant; baptized 16 July 1702 at Boucherville (Que.), son of Jacques-Charles de Sabrevois* and Jeanne Boucher; d. 18 April 1781 at Montreal.
Although he came from a military family, Clément de Sabrevois de Bleury did not follow his brothers Charles de Sabrevois and Christophe de Sabrevois de Sermonville into the colonial regular troops. He turned instead to commerce. Early in 1726 he formed a five-year partnership with Claude de Ramezay*’s widow, Marie-Charlotte Denys de La Ronde, to exploit a sawmill erected by her husband in the seigneury of Chambly. Because of his connections with the Bouchers and the Hertels, Bleury moved easily among the leaders of Montreal society. The list of witnesses to his marriage contract with Charlotte Guichard, signed on 19 Aug. 1728 at Montreal, reads like a directory to the military, commercial, and seigneurial élite of the town. By 1731 Bleury had entered a partnership with Louis Lepage* de Sainte-Claire to supply shipyards in the colony with planking, and as encouragement Intendant Hocquart allowed them to cut 2,000 cubic feet of oak from seigneuries that did not belong to them. In 1732 Bleury exploited the timber in the seigneuries of Chambly and Longueuil. He also ventured into intercolonial trade when the same year he joined his father-in-law, Jean Guichard, in building a 76-ton brigantine at Chambly which they sent to Martinique with a cargo of foodstuffs. Bleury made no further moves in this direction, however. He appears cautious and preferred to keep his enterprises closer to home, where greater personal supervision could be maintained.
In April 1733 he and his brother Charles obtained concessions on the Richelieu River, but they were interested only in harvesting the timber and in 1741 the two seigneuries, Bleury and Sabrevois, were retroceded to the crown for their holders’ failure to encourage settlement. Bleury entered a long-term partnership in 1734 with his uncle Jean-Baptiste Boucher* de Niverville to erect and exploit a sawmill in the seigneury of Chambly. Bleury agreed to advance the required funds while his uncle supplied the land and timber. Four years later Bleury contracted with Pierre Lupien*, dit Baron, to supply timber to the government shipyards at Quebec. Bleury’s cautious approach to trade was again revealed as he began to diversify his interests despite the flourishing state of his timber enterprises.
During the 1740s he bought lands and annuities and he also began to furnish supplies and transportation services to the government. Between 1740 and 1748 he purchased at least five pieces of land in the seigneury of Chambly near Île Sainte-Thérèse. He also loaned money and cashed annuities and bonds. In 1743 he supplied transportation to the government worth 7,654 livres; four years later the value of these services had grown to 48,263 livres. In 1747 also he supplied the government with goods worth 83,104 livres, over half the total value of purchases by the crown at Montreal. In brief, Bleury had become an exceedingly prosperous merchant.
He had lived at Chambly since his marriage, but in 1746 he purchased a town lot in Montreal on Rue Saint-Gabriel and soon moved with his family into a new house there to be closer to the government offices. Four years later he and his brother Charles succeeded in regaining the seigneuries retroceded nine years before and, in order to prevent a repetition of their loss, the two men went to France where they obtained royal warrants ratifying the new grants. Bleury’s rise to social prominence culminated in 1754 when two of his children, Jean-Clément and Marguerite, were married in a magnificent double wedding ceremony at Montreal. The chief witnesses were Governor Duquesne and Intendant Bigot, and the other guests included members of most of the important families in Canada.
With the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War and the decision to fortify the Lake Champlain approaches to the colony, Bleury entered his element. He became chief of the intendant’s transportation services in the region. His enormous fleet of bateaux, each built to carry three tons of cargo, moved regularly between forts Saint-Jean and Carillon (Ticonderoga, N.Y.). In 1756 Bougainville* claimed that the “admiral on Lake Champlain” was receiving 18 sols on every pound of freight carried for the crown. Since between 22 Sept. and 25 Oct. 1756 Bleury sent 179 bateaux to Carillon, his potential gross revenues from freight alone were immense. In addition the bateaux carried goods and supplies to be sold for his own account. To what degree Bleury earned profits from these activities cannot yet be determined. Some time in 1757 he withdrew from them but recurring illness rather than commercial difficulties may have been the reason; in 1749 he had nearly died from an infection.
After the conquest Bleury further curtailed his activities. In 1764 he sold the seigneuries of Bleury and Sabrevois to Gabriel Christie and Moses Hazen*. His private income appears to have been substantial, since thereafter he lived in quiet retirement on Rue Saint-Gabriel. Bleury was a successful merchant, but not a risk-taking entrepreneur. His ventures were of a local nature, often in association with his relatives, and his greatest success probably resulted from his connections with government officials.

Carbon Monoxide: Invisible Danger - Air Specialist - Houston, TX Skip to content
Carbon Monoxide: Invisible Danger
carbon monoxide
When you think about monitoring your home to keep your family safe, fire comes front of mind. Even without a beeping detector, fire can be felt, smelt, seen, and even heard. The same is not true for carbon monoxide (CO). This hard to detect gas can be lethal to people and animals.
Why is it dangerous?
Once inhaled, carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen in your blood, which starts killing off cells and eventually organs. In small doses, carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms can mimic the flu. In large doses, it can lead to brain damage, organ dysfunction, and even death. The real danger of this gas is that it is colorless and odorless making it hard to detect until it is too late.
How can I detect it?
A carbon monoxide detector is the best way to be aware of the gas in your home. It works just like a smoke detector. In fact, many smoke detectors now have a carbon monoxide monitor feature. Place the detectors near where you sleep so it can alert you as soon as the gas enters your room.
Another way to detect CO is to be hypervigilant. Know what the symptoms of carbon monoxide look like and be on the lookout for those signs in your family, pets and self. Be particularly aware of the symptoms when doing activities that may emit carbon monoxide such as smoking, warming up by a fire, or running your furnace.
How can I prevent it?
While gas leaks are not 100% preventable, there are steps you can take to catch them before they occur.
1. Don’t smoke indoors.
2. Don’t burn too many candles or use a space heater in a small, enclosed space.
3. Check your appliances, big and small, for soot build up. That can be a sign of high CO emissions.
4. Have your fireplace and chimney cleaned regularly.
5. Keep up with your heating system maintenance. This is where many leaks occur.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can have serious consequences for you and your family. We recommend a yearly tune-up of your heating system to check for any leaks or blockages that may cause carbon monoxide build up.

Topic: Linux + Arduino + Linksprite LS-Y201 + SoftwareSerial (Read 1 time) previous topic - next topic
Hi all,
I am currently trying to use the above camera (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10061?) with an Arduino Uno in one of my projects; however, I cannot get the camera to communicate properly via the SoftwareSerial port under Linux (currently using Mint 13). When I send a command to the camera I don't get back the expected response - for example (from the manual):
send >> 0x56 0x00 0x26 0x00 (reset)
recv << 0xF6 0x80 0x93 0x80 0xC0 0xD6 0xA1 ... (expected 0x76 0x00 0x26 0x00)
After many days / weeks puzzling at this, I turned to the dark side ]:D and uploaded my code via a windows machine - and now I get the expected response ... I can even receive the correct response from the Linux serial monitor - providing the code was uploaded from Windows ...
Can anybody provide any sort of explanation for this behaviour? Is there any logical reason why the compiled code should be different? And is there anything I can do about it?
Many thanks,
The 38400 could be close to the maximum of the SoftwareSerial library.
The codes you read seems like a baudrate mismatch. If you are sure that the baudrate is set properly, it might have to do with optimazations or different versions of the Arduino IDE.
If you have Arduino installed from the repositories, you have an older version.
The behaviour in Windows and Linux should be the same if the same version of the Arduino IDE was used.
The software serial library claims speeds of up to 115200 - though I have not tested this. In simple serial communication it can do 57600 easily though.
If I change the baudrate at all, then the camera fails to transmit anything.
Bizarrely the same sketch compiles to different sizes under both Linux and Windows (using the same version of the IDE - 1.0)!
This is the code:
Code: [Select]
* latest version of the camera tester - 09-12-2012
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial camport(10,11);
void setup()
// set up the software serial pins properly
// rx = input, tx = output
pinMode(10, INPUT);
pinMode(11, OUTPUT);
void loop()
// send a command to the camera
Serial.println("resetting camera");
// try and read the camera response
while(camport.available() > 0)
byte inByte = camport.read();
Serial.print(inByte, HEX);
Serial.print(" ");
// stop
// send the reset command to the camera: 0x56 0x00 0x26 0x00
void resetCamera()
byte resetCmd[4] = {0x56, 0x00, 0x26, 0x00};
camport.write(resetCmd, 4);
Which weighs in at 5056 bytes under Windows and 4688 bytes in Linux.
I am about to try the very latest Linux version - will report how that goes!
Thanks for your help,
Well, the latest Arduino IDE version under Linux behaved exactly the same ...
I have noticed as well that the blink sketch compiles to different sizes under both Linux and Windows - I assume that this must be something to do with the toolchain / gcc-avr version.
It looks like my only solution to use these cameras is to program them under Windows! However, I'm not sure I'll be using them very much as they aren't very capable. They are OK if you need to take occasional still images (1 per minute at best), but the resolution isn't great and they are slow.
I'm still baffled by the difference though and would dearly love to figure it out!
You can try this library: https://code.google.com/p/linksprite-serial-cam-arduino/
It works up to 19200 with software serial and up to 115200 with hardware serial.

• 2. Britney Spears: Britney has stirred up so much controversy in the past year, starting with her..well..revealing clothes. Many thought she was too young to be acting so, and that she was being a bad example for kids. Others thought she was jsut doing her job, and maybe being herself. What do you think?
• 1. Eminem: Eminem was such a big deal this year. Not only did his album explode, the press did too.There are three Eminem controversys still going on. 1) Eminem has continually dissed Britney and Christina, and the whole pop music world, and while doing so, he became something of a popstar himself. (Shhh don't tell him I said that!) 2) His nastiness against gays and lesbians has set off some pretty pissed people, including a Gay and Lesbian Rights Group, which totally hates him! 3) Because of all this controversy, his album has sold over 5 million copies. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.972158670425415}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '11449', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:H47TJFMUZSSTH2WXHCU4ITU2R26K2N2G', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:18fe4cd5-89b7-4eda-a0fc-3811e49d0dd5>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 23, 0, 24, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '209.202.252.41', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:CXP34VJFT3KZTI6DJNZLZV35KAVLHLD2', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:bab15dbd-c8a7-4857-8dc5-48c516937e95>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.angelfire.com/biz5/starzpagegirlz/topten.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:9a0eab7a-0300-4057-91db-a4234c90d8d2>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '442', 'url': 'http://www.angelfire.com/biz5/starzpagegirlz/topten.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-150-110-222.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-39\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 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': '0.022806406021118164', 'original_id': 'ae489f4a844ee6b12fbb7a807d2fb8edb42c956ffced96418ba78dffdf82d094'} |

Illinois Bill Aims to Outlaw Lion Meat
CHICAGO—In 1916, poet Carl Sandburg memorialized Chicago as “hog butcher to the world.” Now, one Illinois lawmaker wants to stop the city from earning a new reputation as lion butcher to the country.
State Rep. Luis Arroyo (D) is behind the proposed legislation—the first in the nation to outlaw lion meat. Under Arroyo’s plan, anyone caught selling or slaughtering African lion (Panthera leo leo) would serve a year in jail and/or pay a $25,000 fine.
“I know there are a lot of exotic pets that people eat, but we don’t want to eat the king of the jungle,” Arroyo said at a Brookfield Zoo press conference last month. “I think the economy is not that bad in Illinois that we have to go start consuming lions.”
Recession jokes aside, the taste for lion is more about exotic allure than tough economic times. For the past few years, choice cuts of the big cat have been served at restaurants and butcher shops across the country, offering diners an authentic taste of a majestic carnivore.
While U.S. lion meat is sourced domestically, the wild lion population has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years as the cat’s access to prey and habitat has shriveled. Trophy hunters further chip away at lion numbers, but gastronomes are a recent threat, as lion meat is not found in traditional diets.
Lion meat gained notoriety in 2010, when Il Vinaio restaurant in Mesa, Ariz. served up a lion burger as an unintentionally ironic homage to South Africa hosting the World Cup. Other lion-themed selections soon followed at Flaming Grill Café in Sacramento, Calif., Savenor’s Butcher and Market in Cambridge, Mass., and the Serbian Crown in Washington D.C.
Restaurants seeking to serve lion are likely to look to Chicago. Investigators found that where ever lion meat was served, nearly all the nation’s purveyors pointed to the same source: one Chicago-area farm and a handful of nearby butcher shops.
Whether it’s served as a gimmick to draw customers or for purely culinary interest, lion meat has drawn complaints and petitions from animal rights groups.
But lion meat supporters argue that as long as the big cats are farm-raised and deemed fit for consumption, what’s the big deal?
Endangered Mystery Meat
According to Adam Roberts, vice president of the non-profit animal advocacy group, Born Free USA, the Illinois ban is necessary for several reasons—from wildlife conservation and animal welfare to human health.
“There is no regulation on the way that lions are slaughtered to provide meat for human consumption,” said Roberts in a phone interview. “From a human health and safety perspective, we don’t know how these animals were treated and what they were treated with.”
Some restaurant menus have advertised their meat as USDA-inspected free-range lion, but no evidence supports this claim. In 2011, Born Free conducted a year-long investigation into the lion meat trade and found that regulatory oversight was practically non-existent.
While a good portion of lion meat may come from animals raised strictly for consumption, Roberts said it could easily be a byproduct of the skin trade. Some slaughtered lions may have originally been pets or a featured attraction in roadside zoos.
The meat’s backstory and drug history remain a mystery because officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) both claim that lion meat regulation is not in their purview.
“It’s almost as though these two agencies, USDA and FDA, are pointing fingers at each other,” Roberts said. “No one is really taking responsibility for making sure that either the lions are slaughtered humanely or that the meat is actually safe for human consumption.”
Chicago area butcher shops known to have sold lion were not eager to share their opinion of the proposed ban with the Epoch Times. Richard Czimer, owner of Czimer’s Game and Seafood in Homer Glen, Ill. was particularly reserved.
“As a policy I do not talk to reporters,” said Czimer when telephoned. “I’ve been done wrong by them and you are now suffering the consequences.”
Czimer has good reason to be guarded. His wild game butcher shop was found passing off endangered tiger meat as genuine lion in 2002. He was sentenced to six months, and forced to pay Save the Tiger Fund $116,000.
African Lion meat is still on the menu at Czimer’s—Tender Loins, $24.95 lb.—although the website says the selection is not available.
Unlike the tiger, the African lion has not been officially determined an endangered species, but many wildlife experts believe it should be. Lion numbers have declined more than 50 percent since 1980, and the animal has vanished from over 80 percent of its historic range.
Born Free and other wildlife organizations recently submitted a petition to include African Lion on the Endangered Species list. Rep. Arroyo is also pressuring Washington to update the list. If lions were on the list, it would give his bill greater impact.
“The African lion is an imperiled species,” said Roberts. “The more people are desensitized to the risk that lions face in the wild because of the availability of lion meat the worse off the species is going to be, especially if demand for lion meat increases.” | mini_pile | {'original_id': '1e0c1432521f72e9dc4dbd20337f84a2e594ec95e99a33939bffdab25751673a'} |
Killer T-Cell is attacking cancerous cell in the body.
Our body is constantly fighting with many kinds of microbes which include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that constantly attack our body. These microbes are present outside of the body, the skin, and inside the body. Our body fights them with the help of immune system.
Immune system is a collection of some organs, cells, and tissues in our body that work with each other to fight with harmful microbes. The organs that are part of our body’s immune system are spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
How Immune System Works?
The immune system fights with harmful microbes by developing cells that are specialized in fighting with microbes. There are various types of these cells; some cells are effective only for a certain kind of microbes. The immunity cells are stored throughout our body and wait for a signal about entering of harmful microbes to start fighting.
Our body’s immune system is constantly in communication with all parts of the body. When harmful microbes enter our body, they destroy the body cells and disturb the functioning of cells. When these kinds of activities are detected by the immune system, it sends fighting cells to that part of the body which under attack of harmful microbes (pathogens).
Antigens and Antibodies
Antigens are the molecules that are attached to the surface of harmful microbes. Our immune system recognizes the microbes from antigens which it carries. After recognizing microbes from their antigens, the immune system develops its response by producing antibodies that can neutralize these antigens. The antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cells called B cells.
Types of Immunity Cells
There are various types of immune system’s cell which differ from each other by their function. The less technical term for these kinds of cells is white blood cells. These cells are present in the bloodstreams of our body.
Here are some of the important types of immunity cells:
• B Cells – B cells are specialized in producing antibodies that can neutralize the antigens. There are around 10 billion different B cells, also called B lymphocytes, in the body of an adult person. These different B cell makes different antigens to neutralize a wide variety of foreign invaders. For example, if your body gets infected with flu, then only a specific B cell will produce antibodies to fight with the flu.
• T Cells – T cells perform various jobs and the most important job they perform is by getting rid of the cells in our body that have been infected by invaders.
• Helper T Cells – It is the type of T cells which helps B cells to make antibodies and gives instruction to killer T cells for attacking invaders.
• Killer T Cells – It is the type of T cells which is specialized in killing the infected cells directly.
• Memory Cells – The main job of memory cells is to remember the antigens of invaders that have attacked our body recently. So in future fighting with the known invaders become easier.
vaccinationIn vaccination, our bodies are injected with a vaccine for the protection from a specific disease such as flu. A vaccine contains microbes of a specific disease which are dead or modified in such a way that they can’t give any harm to our body. When the vaccine is injected in our body, our immune system builds a response against that disease by producing antibodies. Since the microbes are already modified, so our immune system easily neutralizes them. After this, our immune system has the antibodies for that disease. So when the real disease will enter the body, it will quickly be destroyed.
• When you get a fever, it is one of the signs that your body is fighting against infection. Fever helps our body in releasing more white blood cells.
• If you are getting less than 5 hours of sleep every night, then your immune system will likely be depressed along with you. This can result in increased chances of getting diseases.
• Keeping your mood pleasant helps your immune system to stay strong. So, try to do some activities that enhance the mood, like exercising, helping a person, and playing sports.

19th Century German Immigrant Church Affiliations
Three Generations of the Johann David Rau Family in Cooper County, Missouri
John David Hopkins
Emeritus Senior Lecturer, University of Tampere, Finland
Among the first acts of immigrants in the mid-19th century was usually to
establish churches in their native languages; these would become the focus
of their community life and would help them adjust to their new lives in
America. Collectively, the churches would help form a strong tradition of
church membership and a role of religion in American life that continues
today.
The experience of Johann David Christian Rau, who emigrated in the
mid-1850s from Germany to central Missouri, is similar to that of many
19th century European immigrants, particularly those who moved to regions
where there were large numbers of their countrymen. This was certainly the
case in Missouri: the 1850s was the peak period of German immigration to
America (see timeline),
with 215,000 Germans arriving in 1854 alone. Many were attracted to
Missouri not only because of its rich farmland, but because many of their
countrymen were already there. Once established, the new German
communities soon founded churches and other civic institutions in their
mother tongue.
Rau was a founding member of three successive Cooper County churches:
in Boonville, Clarks Fork, and Lone Elm. His son William Martin Rowe (the
surname now anglicized), who married Christine Anna Louise Toellner,
daughter of fellow German immigrants Christopher and Anna Timm
Töllner, would continue his father's activity in the Lone Elm and
Boonville congregations, as would his own children and grandchildren: the
Rau/Rowe family connection to the churches of their ancestors would
continue strongly into the third and fourth generations.

Anna Toellner Rowe, at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Lone Elm. William was the son of David and Rebecca Rowe (as their names
were now spelled) and Christine the daughter of Christopher and Anna K.
Toellner. (See the wedding news report.)
The Background of Johann David Rau in Germany
Johann David Christian Rau was born on 31 March 1834 in Rettert, Germany,
in the current Rhineland-Palatinate [Rheinland-Pfalz] region,
formerly a part of the Duchy
of Nassau. Rettert is roughly halfway between Koblenz to the
Northwest and Wiesbaden to the Southeast, in Germany's wine-producing
heartland roughly 20 kilometers east of the Rhine. Johann was oldest of
four children of the farmer and stonemason Georg Philipp Rau (born 17
December 1798 in Bettendorf), and his wife Anna Magdalina Bingel (born 20
May 1808 in Langschied), and was the only one to emigrate to America.
Johann's siblings [all born in Rettert] were Philipp Peter Rau (born 27
September 1835), Philipp Jacob Rau (born 12 June 1840) and Maria Caterina
Rau (born 08 November 1843).
Rettert and Bettendorf are ca. 3-4 kilometers apart, with Langschied ca.
8-10 kilometers southeast (the Rhine at Spay is ca. 20 km west of
Rettert). Until Johann Rau left for America, three generations of his
family had lived only a few kilometers apart. (Image via Google Maps,
click to enlarge)
Johann's grandfather, the shepherd Johann Peter Rau (born 27 June 1766)
had been born in Bettendorf as well, as had his wife Elisabethe Catharina
Zimmer [or Zimmerman] (born 09 August 1766) and his older brother
Ferdinand Rau (born 31 March 1789).
The parents of Johann's paternal grandmother, Anna Magdalina Bingel
[Justus Anton Bingel, born 11 April 1786, and Elisabethe Margarethe
Brenser (or Brömsser or Brömser), born 11 December 1785] had
likewise been born in Langschied, as had Anna. Until Johann left for
America, at least three generations of his family on both sides had lived
within a radius of only a few kilometers.
This changed dramatically when Rau, at the age of 21, together with
several of his relatives, joined the wave of Germans who were leaving for
America. In the 1980s research of Dorothy 'Dotty' Rowe, wife
of Johann Rau's future youngest grandson Kenneth Christian Rowe,
Johann is thought to have arrived in the Port of New Orleans on January 26,
1855 aboard the S.S. Judith from Le Havre, being the 'Johann Rau' listed
in the ship's manifest. His obituary says he
remained in New Orleans 'a short time' before proceeding to Cooper County
to reside. Family narrative reports that after landing he was separated
from his relatives and never regained contact with them.
'Johann Rau' in the manifest of the SS Judith
[The Glazier-Filby Germans to
America series from which this was taken is known to be rife with
errors; see study by Antonius
Holtmann and his team]
From New Orleans Rau would typically have travelled by steamship up the
Mississippi River to St. Louis and then westward along the Missouri River
to Boonville. The first confirmed records [to date] of his new life in
America are from Boonville. 'David Rau' is one of 30 names on the first
Constitution, dated 01 January 1855, which officially established the
German Evangelical Church of Boonville.
The Trau [Marriage] Register of the church's Kirchenbuch [PDF] later records the marriage by Rev. C.L. Greiner of 'John David Rau' to Rebekah Ann Goodman on 02 January 1859, with witnesses/sponsors having been Benj. Goodmann (sic.) and Peter Back. Rebekah was 18 years old, having been born in nearby Wooldridge, Missouri, on 17 October 1841, the daughter of
Johnson Goodman (07 August 1797-19 May 1875) and Lucy Bailey (06 July 1795-11 November 1859). Johnson Goodman had been born 'of English descent' in Kentucky (or Virginia, as is variously reported) and had moved to the Clarks Fork region (see map below) in 1817.
A Question Still Open: When Exactly Did Rau Arrive in America?
As may often happen with immigration records, when documentation is
incomplete and the spelling of names varies, confirming identities and
dates may be problematic. Did Johann Rau really arrive on the
Judith in January 1855? His age in the manifest is 23; this would not
match his birthdate. It is possible the age was recorded incorrectly, as
the manifest also lists him as 'female.'
David Rau's Nov. 1859 U.S. citizenship certificate.
This testifies that Rau, formerly a subject of the Grand Duke of Nassau,
had lived continuously in the U.S. for at least five years as of September
1859. (click to
enlarge)
Several other details also would not seem to match the January 1855
arrival date. Rau's obituary described him as making the 49-day voyage at
the age of 20, which would have had him arriving in 1854. Also, he became
a U.S. citizen on November 1, 1859; citizenship requires a 5-year waiting
period. This would match an arrival by mid-1854, but not one in 1855.
Further, while 'Johann' was his first given name, no records apart from
his wedding indicates that he used this name, with other records showing
'David' or 'David C.' Rau/Rowe.
The Boonville Kirchenbuch [PDF]records 'David Rau' as one of
its founding members; no other Rau or Rauh appears in early church
records. Although the church was initially organized in August 1853, its
constitution was adopted two years later, on January 1, 1855. This is the
document on which David Rau's name appears. If Rau had arrived in 1854
(or earlier), he could have been a 'founding member' when the church
constitution was adopted, but an 1855 arrival would make this problematic.
In other Boonville records of the time, a 'David Rauh' was an 1852-53 member of the
Sänger Chor [which had been founded the same year; in 1868
it would merge with the Boonville Turn Verein, which had been
founded in 1858, to form the Turn und Gesang Verein].
No other record has yet been found of a David Rauh/Rau in
Boonville before 1855; the 1850 census for Cooper County District 23 did
not include any persons named 'Rauh'; only 'Catherine Rau' from Germany,
aged 22. However, in 1860 the spelling of 'Rauh' was used in in the
records of the Clarks Fork Trinity Church, of which Johann David was also
a founder, and variances in the spelling of German names were not unusual
in records of the time.
Were '[Johann] David Rau' and 'David Rauh' different persons? Was
another 'David Rauh' in Boonville 2-3 years earlier than Johann David? If
not, his immigration date would need to be at least 2 years earlier for
him to have been an 1853 member of the Sänger Chor and an 1853
founder of the church. Perhaps supporting the idea that they might be the
same person is that Johann David was known for his singing; musical
ability was also apparent in his descendants. Thus one may have expected
him to have joined a singing group. This, however, is only speculation.
Genealogist Virgil Hein, who has studied the Toellner family
history, feels Rau could instead have been the 'Johann Rau' who arrived in
New Orleans on the ship Argo from Le Havre on 30 June 1849 at the age of
15. This would have made possible his membership in both the
Sänger Chor in 1852-53 and involvement in even the initial
organization of the Evangelical Church in 1853. However it conflicts with
the report of Rau's obituary that he arrived
at the age of 20 (Hein feels this is the point most prone to error).
Research continues on his date of arrival.
Why Central Missouri and Boonville?
The question of how and why Rau ended up in Boonville is also open. It
is known that the 1829 publication in Elberfeld, Germany, of Gottfried
Duden's Report on a Journey to the Western States of North America
[Bericht über eine Reise nach den westlichen Staaten
Nordamerika's] [see
book excerpt] had motivated many Germans to immigrate to the rich
farmland alongside the Missouri River west of St. Louis [see also more
detail on this from a 2002 study by
Dorris Keeven about Duden's influence on Missouri settlement]. It is
further known that a rather large number (relative to the population of
this rural area) of immigrants from Rettert/Roettert and its surroundings
in the Duchy of Nassau had immigrated to Cooper County, Missouri (of which
Boonville is a part) both prior to Rau's arrival and thereafter (see Germans From
Rettert/Nassau in Boonville, mid-1850s). It has also been reported
that Rau had left Rettert for America 'with relatives' (presumably also
from Rettert or its nearby villages). One might thus speculate that many
Rettert emigrants left with the specific destination of Cooper County,
where they would join others with whom there were some relationships from
the homeland. However, what exact connections, if any, may exist between
these points is at present not known.
Religious Background of Early Churches in Boonville
The Duchy of Nassau from which David Rau had immigrated had a strong
Evangelical tradition, a result of Frederick William III, King of Prussia
from 1797 to 1840, having forcibly combined the Lutheran and Reformed
churches into the Evangelical Church of the Prussian Union (this was
subsequently to form the basis for the Evangelical Synod of North America
after German immigrants brought their Evangelical faith to America). Thus
the Evangelical faith would have been familiar to David Rau. However,
family narrative says that David Rau was Lutheran.
The locations of the Turn und Gesang Verein and the three German
churches built between 1852-1854
(Click to enlarge)
In the early 1850s the Methodist (1830s), Presbyterian (1841),
Episcopal (1845) and Baptist (1847) churches were well-established in
Boonville. However, all were English-speaking. They also sympathized with
the American South and its practice of slavery, with which
the Germans did not agree. Thus as the Germans arrived, they founded their
own churches, as well as cultural organizations like the Sänger Chor and Turn Verein.
German Methodists organized in 1850 and built a church in 1852 on the
southeast corner of 6th and Vine. German Evangelicals and Catholics at
first shared a building adjacent to the present Catholic Church, holding
services on alternate Sundays. But soon both built their own churches, across the street from each other on the northeast and southeast corners of 7th and Spring streets, respectively.
The first German Evangelical Church in Boonville (erected 1854/55, rebuilt
in 1887, enlarged in 1915)
There was no Lutheran congregation in Boonville at the time, although
when Rau later moved to Clarks Fork, there were enough other German
Lutherans in the area to establish their own German Lutheran church.
An Early Pattern of Cooperation
These patterns suggest that in their early years, German churches were
characterized by a shared language and culture, which at first prevailed
over sectarian distinctions. The congregation of the Evangelical Church
included Lutherans and other non-Evangelical Germans. It is apparent that
the churches and their members cooperated during their initial struggle to
establish themselves in a new country and new language.
Indeed, this cooperation was part of a larger ecumenical support at the
time, as the first pastors of the new church were subsidized by annual grants from the Presbyterian Church Mission Board. These grants began in 1850, when there were not yet enough members to form a self-sustaining church, and ended in 1856 after the congregation, now in its own building, had completed a year of operation under its January 1855 constitution.
[Initially the Presbyterians subsidized 'circuit rider' pastors, who
visited Boonville twice a month. The first resident pastor, Johann Wettle, began in 1853 and served until October 1856, when the Evangelical Church called Rev. C.L. Greiner to be their first independent pastor.]
However, over the coming decades, this cooperation would be strained.
As the immigrants' children assimilated into American culture and their German identities diminished, sectarian differences would sharpen, and congregations would divide or dissolve. While the Evangelical and Catholic churches are still active in 21st-century Boonville, the German Methodist church would vanish in the early 20th century, along with the Turn und Gesang Verein.
German Influence in the Growth of Church and Town
The industriousness of the German immigrants helped the new town
of Boonville prosper. While the 'Boonslick' region was first settled in
the first decade of the 1800s, the town itself was only platted in 1817
and incorporated in 1839. Thus when the German Evangelical Church formed,
Boonville itself was in only its second decade. Yet both town and county
were growing rapidly: whereas in 1830 the county population had been only
5,901, by 1840 it was 10,484; by 1850 12,908; and by 1856 15,082.
In turn, the 1830 population of Boonville is estimated at only some
600, although by 1840 it was 1,666 and by 1853 2,800, with an increase of
roughly 140 a year. The increase from 1853 was largely due to the influx
of Germans, whose contributions to the community were soon seen
everywhere, not least with the construction by German brickmasons of many
homes and businesses now comprising 'historic downtown Boonville.'
George Vollrath's Boonville Pottery, ca. 1870 (on Locust Street,
where David Barton School now stands)
One of the most influential members of the new Evangelical Church was
George Vollrath, an immigrant potter, vintner and miller from Saxe-Coburg
who arrived in Boonville in the late 1830's. In 1840 at the age of 29 he
purchased the 7-year-old Boonville Pottery from its founder, Marcus
Williams (who had recently been elected Mayor of Boonville, and was having
trouble running both the town and his pottery), and rapidly expanded it
into the largest stoneware business in Missouri, responsible for an
estimated 70% of all the pottery produced in Missouri by the beginning of
the Civil War. At his death in 1865 his estate was worth over $35,000, a
fortune for the time.
Vollrath was one of the founding members, and first trustees, of the
Evangelical Church. It was largely through his energy and financing that
the first church building was constructed in 1854/55, as well as a school
just south of the church for the congregation's children in 1857. While
he made his fortune as a potter, he was also an active vintner, where his
interests overlapped with at least three other prominent church founders,
William Haas, Jacob Neef and John Henry (J.H.) Boller.
Many of the early German immigrants were from Germany's wine-producing
regions, and soon realized the rich potential of Cooper County for wine
production. Soon there were numerous vinyards inside and outside the
town, leading to Boonville being known at the time as the 'Vine-clad
City.' Virtually every German family grew grapes to eat, to preserve in
jams and jellies, and to produce their own wine. (The German custom at
the time was to offer visitors to one's home a glass of one's own wine,
produced from their own grapes, apples or dandelions, much like offering
coffee today.)
Grapes were an abundant and economical crop; any extra grapes German
housewifes were not able to eat, preserve or use for wine would have a
ready market in the commercial wine producers which were springing up,
chief among which was the Boonville Wine Company started by Emile Haas,
which neighbored the vinyards of George Vollrath, Jacob Neef, William Haas
and J.H. Boller.

Emile Haas had first founded Haas Brewery, just west of Boonville's
Harley Park where the bluffs slope down to the Missouri River. He
later expanded the Brewery into the Boonville Wine Company, which boasted
the largest vinyard in the county, with some 115 acres of grapes and
apples. (Major William Harley, after whom Harley Park is named, was Haas'
partner in the Wine Company.)
Incorporated in 1855, the Boonville Wine Company quickly grew to be the
area's largest industry, with a magnificent 4-level stone building fronting the Missouri river above eleven arched underground storage cellars. One of its wines, Haas' Catawba, received a first prize at the 1876 Philadelphia Fair, and was widely sold throughout Missouri and in the eastern states. The wine (and beer) was often preserved and sold in stoneware jugs produced by George Vollrath's pottery.
As the immigrants began to flourish, from their wines, pottery, business endeavors and otherwise, a portion of their growing prosperity always went to their church, which gradually grew in status within the community.
But it was not only in construction, pottery, wine and beer that
church members left their mark in town. Many among the church's first
generation, including Jacob Gmelich, William Mittelbach, Charles, Julius
and Henry Sombart, and Drs. Charles and Alex van Ravenswaay, among many
others in addition to Vollrath, Haas, Boller and Neef, have been cited
among Boonville's most influential historic citizens for their
contributions to business, medicine, education and community life.
David and Rebecca Rowe's headstone in Boonville's Walnut Grove Cemetery
Among their most lasting contributions is Boonville's
Walnut Grove Cemetery, atop Locust Street hill above George Vollrath's
pottery. The cemetery's initial property was purchased in 1852 by Carl
Franz and Eliza Aehle, with its development influenced significantly by
fellow church members Jacob Gmelich (see below) and William Mittelbach.
While the cemetery has been public since 1881, and those of all faiths
have always been influential in its development, a special relationship
between the German Evangelical Church and the cemetery has existed from
the beginning.
Among the cemetery's first burials in 1877 was the church's first
regular pastor, Rev. C.L. Greiner. Just inside the cemetery's present
entrance are aligned the graves of the church's longest-serving pastor,
Rev. Emil F. Abele; 20-year cemetery secretary and church board member
William Mittelbach (whose marker is a fountain given by the cemetery in
commemoration of his two decades as its Superintendent and Secretary); and
longest-serving musical director and choirmaster, Woodard B. Hopkins, Sr.,
and their families. It is also the final resting place of David and
Rebecca Rowe and their son William Martin Rowe (who long served as
treasurer of both the Cemetery Board and his Church Board) and his wife
Christine Töllner Rowe, as well as successive generations of the Rowe
family.
David and Rebecca Rowe Leave Boonville to Farm in Clarks Fork
At present it is not known how David Rowe had earned his living after
arriving in Boonville. He might have been employed in enterprises owned
by fellow church members, or he may have been a farm laborer outside
Boonville, or both. However it is known that David and his bride Rebecca
had earned enough money to be able to buy their own farm in rural Clarks
Fork Township, southeast of Boonville, shortly after their marriage on
January 2, 1859.
Their move from Boonville to Lone Elm, in Clarks Fork Township, is
evident from church and birth records. There are no further references in
the Boonville Kirchenbuch to David and Rebekah Rau after 1859.
However, in 1860 'David Rauh' is recorded as one of the 28
founding members of the new (German) Trinity Lutheran church of Clarks
Fork. David and Rebecca Rowe (the 'Johann/John' is no longer recorded,
'Rebekah' is now 'Rebecca' and 'Rau/Rauh' has been anglicized to 'Rowe')
are cited often in Clarks Fork Trinity church marriage and baptismal
records between 1860 and 1888. Further, their first child, Mary Catherine
Sophia, was born on October 17, 1859, 'in Clarks Fork near Washington
School,' as it is recorded in the genealogy notes of Dorothy Rowe, further
evidence that they had moved to Clarks Fork shortly after their wedding.
Extract of Section 8, Township 47N, Range 16W.Arrows point to
David Rowe's property, the Washington School immediately to the
south, and the Clarks Fork Trinity church to the southeast.
(Click to enlarge)
The reason why David Rowe moved from Boonville to Clarks Fork was to
start farming; land records show that he owned a farm near Lone Elm in
Clarks Fork township, as can be seen in Section 8 of the 1897
Township 47N, Range 16W Cooper County plat map [the detail
is the same in the 1877 plat map, but the 1897 edition is
easier to read]. Further, Rebecca's obituary says
that "after her marriage in January 1859 she began married life in her
home community, later moving to a farm in the Washington school district
of Clarks Fork where she and David lived for many years."
[The Clarks Fork Trinity Lutheran congregation met in the Washington
School before a church building was constructed. The Washington School
building, now a private home, still stands, and can be located via Google
Earth at 8 degrees 51 minutes 22.50 seconds North Latitude; 92 degrees
41 minutes 21.74 seconds West Longitude, just south of where David and
Rebecca Rowe's farm had been.]
While little detail survives of the Rowe farm, German immigrant farmers
in Cooper County generally employed a diversified, efficient mixture of
animals and crops which aimed at self-sufficiency. Chickens were raised
for their meat and eggs, pigs for meat and lard, cows for meat and milk,
sheep for meat and wool, and horses to pull wagons and plows. Hides were
tanned, wool was spun and used for clothing, and the manure from all animals would be tilled back into the soil.
Wheat, corn, and oats were raised for family consumption, and hay and
clover as animal feed or for composting, with any surplus sold or exchanged
for sugar, salt, herbs, spices, cotton cloth and other staples. Every farm
would grow, in addition to seasonal crops, potatoes, cabbage, carrots and
other staples of the traditional German diet that would keep well through
the winter in root cellars or be canned or (in the case of cabbage)
preserved as sauerkraut. Likewise, apples were grown for eating or for
preservation as applekraut or apple wine. Every farm would also have a
grape arbor, with
the abundant fruit used for eating, preservation as jams and jellies, or
for homemade wine.
The 1910 census, the last for which Rowe was alive, records him and
Rebecca as living in Lone Elm on a mortgaged farm, with 7 of their [now
adult] children still living. These were Mary Catherine Sophia (born 17
October 1859); Alice Maggie (born 31 August 1861); Laura Joan (born 23 May
1863); Louise Frances (born 23 May 1868, died 26 November 1877); George
Philip (born 11 October 1870); William Martin (born 11 June 1873; Ida May
(23 July 1880); and David Carroll (28 February 1883). A ninth child, Henry
Otto (born 25 January 1866 and christened 'Ferdinand Heinrich Albert Otto'
at Clarks Fork church on 25 March, died 23 April 1866, just short of 3
months old).
David Rowe died on January 28, 1917 at the age of 83 years, 9 months
and 27 days (as his obituary noted), at the home of his daughter Ida near
Tipton. Rebecca died on February 23, 1925 at the home of her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sponcler, in Kelly Township, southwest of
Bunceton.
John King, David Rowe, and the Arrival of the Holstein Germans
Most of the Germans who had immigrated to the Boonville area thus far had
been from southern Germany, including the Rhineland-Palatinate,
Saxe-Coburg, Baden-Württemburg and neighboring regions (see map). The coming
years were see the arrival of northern Germans as well, many from the
Schleswig-Holstein region north of Hamburg.
John King (Koenke)
(Photo: Johnson's History of Cooper County, 448)
Responsible for many of these was one John King (originally Koenke or
Koehnke or Koehnecke), born on February 15, 1828 in Holstein. According to
the National Historical Company's 1883 History of Howard and Cooper
Counties, Missouri (see page
949),
he immigrated to America in 1853, arriving in New Orleans and
travelling from there up the Mississippi to Davenport, Iowa. In 1854,
hearing about the free land available in the new Kansas territory, he
returned to St. Louis and boarded a steamboat for Kansas. However, along
the way he stopped at Boonville and there met several other Germans who
convinced him to stay. Whether David Rowe was one of these Germans is not
known, but the lives of King and Rowe were thereafter to be closely
related.
King first worked as a stagecoach driver and then as a farm laborer. In
1859, like David Rowe, he had saved enough to buy a tract of land in
Clarks Fork Township, just north of the future Lone Elm Church in Sections
13 and 24 of
Township 47N, Range 17W (the "J.King" whose property borders David
Rowe's land in the previous plat map is that of Jacob King, also a
founding member of the Clarks Fork church). Also like Rowe, John King
married in January 1859, to Sophia Friedmeyer, daughter of Bernard and
Sophia (Karnes) Friedmeyer.
[Jacob King (18 July 1817-23 Febuary 1878), also from Holstein,
immigrated in 1857 and bought in 1867 what came to be known as 'Valley
View' farm just northwest of David Rowe's land. In 1866 he married Anna
Nohrenburg, brother of Peter Nohrenburg, who was also a founder of the
Clarks Fork church. Jacob King's son Johan Washington ('John W.') King
inherited Valley View.]
[The fact that many Clarks Fork church and land records are only
labelled "J. King" has been a source of much confusion, along with the
fact that both Jacob and John had sons named Henry 'Henry M.' for
Jacob and 'Henry O.' for John. (Lone Elm church records do not have
this confusion, as Jacob died in 1878, before the church was
founded in 1896.) At present it is not known if Jacob and John King were
related; if so they were at best cousins, as John had only one surviving
brother, named Auble.]
Also like David Rowe, in 1860 John King was to be one of the 28
founding members of the Clarks Fork Lutheran Church, of which he was
to serve as deacon for nearly two decades. Later, again with David Rowe,
he would be one of the founders of the Zion Lutheran Church in Lone Elm.
Yet the connections between John King and David Rowe did not stop
there. Through King's influence many other Holstein Germans learned of
prospects in Cooper County and were encouraged to emigrate; King would even aid them financially and travel to New York to assist them with their journey to Missouri. Among these Holstein Germans were several who would closely interact with David Rowe and his family.
Arrival of the Töllner Siblings and Their Future Spouses from
Holstein
The Holstein Germans included the brothers Herman and Christopher Toellner
(originally Töllner) and their sister Meta; as well as Herman and
Christopher's future wives, Sophia Schnack and Anna Katherine Louise Timm.
Herman (born 05 November 1845), Christopher (born 11 July 1849) and Meta
(born 20 May 1864) Toellner emigrated from Krempermoor; Sophia Schnack
from Quickborn, Hoernerkirchen, Hemdingen; and Anna Timm from Barmstedt,
all in Holstein.

Töllners), Hemdingen (Sophia Schnack), and Barmstedt (Anna Timm),
with the Elbe River at left (Click to enlarge)
The three Toellners emigrated separately. Herman was the first to leave,
arriving in New York from Hamburg, according to his U.S.
passport application dated 21 April 1900, 'on or about January 26, 1867.'
Christopher followed a year and a half later, arriving
in New York on the Holsatia from Hamburg on June 22, 1868 at the age of 19
(assuming he is the "? Tollner, farmer, age 19") in the
ship's manifest. This general date of arrival is confirmed by his April
21, 1900 U.S. passport application, on which he states he arrived
on the Holsatia 'on or about July 10, 1868.'
Three years later, on 10 May 1871, Christopher filed his
intention to take U.S. citizenship; he received it six years later, on 04
April 1877, at age 28.
Meta Toellner joined her brothers 13 years later, with
Hamburg exit records showing her as leaving on 10 April 1881 and New
York entry records showing her, age 17, arriving from Hamburg and Le Havre
on the ship Cimbria on 23 April 1881.
Sophie Schnack arrived in New York on June 23, 1870 at the age of 20 on
the S.S. Hammonia from Hamburg and Le Havre, possibly with other members
of her family (see her wedding record below). At present, it is not known
when Anna Timm immigrated.
Shortly after arrival, Herman and Christopher joined the Boonville
Evangelical Church. The November 15, 1872 marriage of Herrman (sic)
Toellner (born 1845) to Sophia Snak (sic) (born 1841) is recorded in the
Kirchenbuch only a few [un-numbered] pages after the marriage of
'John David' and 'Rebekah Ann' Rau. Witnesses were Christoph (sic)
Toellner and Lena Snak (sic).
However, there are no further references to the Toellners in the
Kirchenbuch after 1872. Trinity Lutheran records show that
Christopher and Herman moved to Clarks Fork within two years after their
marriage, first appearing in baptismal records in January 1874. Their
Clarks Fork church records continue through 1896, when both of the
Toellners and David Rowe, along with John King and others, transferred
their membership to the newly-established Lone Elm Zion Lutheran church
(see below).
Like David Rowe, Herman and Christopher (now known as 'Christ' or
'Chris') Toellner left Boonville for Clarks Fork Township to begin
farming. Herman and Sophia's property can be seen in the same plat map as
David Rowe's [above], in Section 19 (spilling over into Section 30 beneath
it), a bit to the south and west from David Rowe's in Section 8.
Chris Toellner bought land further south and east from David and Herman
in the Lone Elm sector of Clarks Fork Township, as can be seen in Section
23 of the
Township
47N Range 17W plat map [which adjoins the map showing David Rowe
and Herman Toellner's property]. Chris Toellner's land in Section 23 is
separated only by that of Henry Timm from the Zion Lutheran Church of Lone
Elm, to the east across the present County Road "B" in Section 24,
diagonally just across the road from the property of John King.
Christopher and Anna Toellner's Family in Lone Elm
After Chris Toellner immigrated to America, he worked as a farmhand for
several years, saving his earnings first to rent land, and eventually to
purchase his own farm. On 25 February 1876 he married Anna Katherine Timm
at Clarks Fork Trinity Church. The following year he bought 100 acres of
'unimproved prairie land' in the Lone Elm neighborhood of Clarks Fork
Township. Over time he built a large home with several outbuildings, and
in 1895 purchased an additional 100 acres of land.
Chris and Anna Toellner had nine children: Sophie Meta Catherine
(born 12 January 1878); Christine Anna Louise (born 26 August 1879);
Hermann Johannes (born 11 August 1882, died 1927); Emma Lourine Dorothea
(born 29 March 1884); Matilda Magdalena (born 21 December 1886); George
Heinrich (born 13 January 1888); Heinrich Christian (born 25 July 1890);
Walter Wilhelm Christian (born 09 March 1892); and William Albert Carl
(born 20 February 1896). Another child, Gotgab [or Gottgab, old
German for 'god-given'], was apparently stillborn on 28 August 1894.
The Rowes and Toellners Transfer to Zion Lutheran Church in 1896
On Dec 27, 1896, members of the Clarks Fork Trinity congregation who lived
in Lone Elm [which is also in Clarks Fork township] were authorized to
establish a daughter congregation closer to their homes, as the 4-5 mile
trip to the Trinity church had been an arduous journey on primitive roads.
Both David Rowe and Herman and Christopher Toellner and their families
transferred from Clarks Fork Trinity to the new Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Church.

Lone Elm churches (2010 roads)

One of the incentives for David Rowe's family to transfer to the new Lone
Elm church?
(Click to enlarge)
While poor roads and closer proximity to the Lone Elm church are the
reasons cited in the church history, family relationships were undoubtedly
also a factor. The Lone Elm church was indeed closer to Chris
Toellner's property (about a 10-minute walk), but it was
further away from David Rowe than the Clarks Fork church,
and also further for Herman Toellner (although apparent distance on this
2010 map may have been different with the roads of the time).
The family connections involved more than Chris and Herman being
brothers; there were close connections between the Chris Toellner and
David Rowe families as well. Not only did William Martin Rowe marry
Christine Anna Toellner in 1901, soon after the Lone Elm church was
founded, but three years later, on 01 June 1904, William's brother George
Philip would marry Christine's sister Emma Lourine. The close
family connections which culminated in four of their children marrying may
have influenced Rowe's decision to transfer his membership to Lone Elm
even if it did involve a longer journey between home and church.
The Toellner brothers remained lifelong members of the Lone Elm church.
Both are buried in the church cemetery, along with their families and
numerous descendants. David Rowe remained a member of Zion Lutheran until
his death in 1917, although he and Rebecca are buried in Boonville's
Walnut Grove Cemetery, the early history of which had been so strongly
associated with the German Evangelical Church he had helped to found.
The speed of the changeover from German to English is apparent from pages 7 through 12 of the English translation [PDF] of the 50th Anniversary Booklet. While in 1893 the church felt that "keeping up the German language was of critical importance for the congregation (p.7), in 1899 one English evening sermon a month was being given in English (p.8), and by 1900 all evening sermons were given in English, the Sunday School and confirmation instruction was given only in English, and new church youth groups such as the Endeavor Society used only English (p.8). The Endeavor Society's founding constitution noted that "the language used by the society would be English, as the young people of our congregation are not able to use the German language" (p.12).
The second and especially third generations of the church's founders were no longer fluent in German, and the churches were forced to change from German to English in order not to lose their younger members. While the 1903 Anniversary Booklet was still published only in German (see the original German publication [PDF]), and the name of the church was still "The German Evangelical Congregation", the approach of World War I made any connection to German or Germany politically risky, and within the next ten years most of the German churches would operate solely in English.
William Martin Rowe and Christine Toellner Marry and Return to
Boonville
On July 24, 1901, David Rowe's son William Martin married Christine Anna
Louise Toellner, daughter of Christopher Toellner and Anna Katherine
Louise Timm, at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lone Elm.

Born on June 11, 1873, William Martin Rowe first worked as a farmer
until 1896, but then began a properous career in business and public
service, with his first employment at the Lone Elm general store, then
owned by Julis Hosp.
On 03 September 1900 he was appointed Postmaster in Lone Elm. On August
1, 1901 (a week after his marriage to Christine), he took over the
operation of the late George H. Meyer's store in Clarks Fork, returning to
Lone Elm in November 1905 to become Julius Hosp's partner in the Lone Elm
store.
On July 4, 1909 he sold his interest in the Lone Elm store and moved
with Christine and their three oldest children to Boonville (their fourth
child Vera was born 3 days later), to become President of the new
Boonville Mercantile Company, a position he would hold until his death.

the building in 1914/15). The house at left which was demolished for the
expansion had belonged to Major William Harley (Click to enlarge)
After their move to Boonville, The family and their six surviving
children returned to the original home church of their grandfather Johann
David Christian Rau. The church was now known as the Evangelical Church
in Boonville (later the Evangelical and Reformed Church, presently the
United Church of Christ).
William and Christine Rowe's surviving children were Alverta Ann Rowe
Souder (born 05 April 1903); Edwin Herman Rowe (30 September 1904);
Erna Matilda Rowe Hopkins (23 July 1907); Vera Elizabeth Sophie Rowe
Grathwohl (12 July 1909); William Toellner [W.T.] Rowe (28
September 1915); and Kenneth Christian Rowe (24 September 1916).
A seventh child, Virgie Christine, was born on 13 August 1906 but died
one day later.
The Rowe family lived at 513 Third Street (shown
here in the early 1920s), one of the first two homes built atop the crest
of Third Street across from the future 'Hitch House' on the Kemper
Military School property, until the children married and left home. The
home was only a short walk from both the Boonville Mercantile Company and
Hopkins
Grocery, later to be owned by William and Christine Rowe's daughter Erna and her husband Woodard B. Hopkins (Senior). Erna Rowe Hopkins and Vera Rowe Grathwohl would remain life-long Boonville residents and Evangelical church members.
Christine and William Martin Rowe in the early 1930s at the peak of his
influence in church and community.
William Rowe was active in the church his father had helped found. He
served as Treasurer of the church board for 22 years, and headed the
committee to expand the church building in 1915 (just after he had
expanded the Mercantile building). He was Vice-President of the church
board at the time of his death.
Rowe was also a long-standing member and treasurer of the church choir.
For the last three years of his life he sang under the direction
of his son-in-law Woodard B. Hopkins, who was just beginning his three-decade
tenure as the church's musical director and choirmaster.
In addition, William Rowe served as clerk in the Missouri State Legislature and as a member of the Boonville city council, as well as Board Member and
Treasurer of the Walnut Grove Cemetery Association.
William Rowe died on 29 March 1936; Christine on 30 September 1960.
William Rowe's funeral was the first occasion on which the choir wore
the robes it had been his project to obtain, which were completed just in
time for the service. In his memory a church Memorial Fund was created
which still exists today.
A Close Association With Three Churches, All German in Origin
David Rowe, Christopher Toellner, John King and their families shared a
close association with German immigrant churches from the beginning of their new lives in Missouri until the end. Rowe helped start all three, first in Boonville, then in Clarks Fork, and finally in Lone Elm.
The Rowe family experience was largely representative of other
immigrants as well. Wherever immigrants arrived, they established churches
which provided sanctuaries in their own languages and the cultural values
of their former homelands; from this secure 'home' in their new country
the interactions of all the churches in each community would help the
immigrants to gradually assimilate into a 'common' American culture.
This pattern established a strong tradition of church membership and a
role of religion and church in American life which continues
today. While not all immigrants would be as active as David Rowe in
helping to found three successive churches, virtually all were closely
involved with their fellow countrymen in religious and cultural
institutions initially transplanted from their homelands and subsequently
adapted to the American milieu: one of many ways in which immigrants helped form the present-day fabric of America.

prominent members of the church. Jacob was President of the Commercial
Bank, a four-term Mayor of Boonville, and a Lt. Governor of
Missouri. After Jacob's death in 1914, Doris donated a pipe organ in
her husband's memory which is still in use.

Pulp Friction
I’m a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino. He’s an amazing film maker. Pulp Fiction did for movies what Nirvana did for rock music. It changed a lot. I love Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained. I’m really looking forward to The Hateful Eight. I didn’t like the Kill Bills very much.
The man is an artist. He refuses to shoot in digital. He makes films on film. He bought a theater in Hollywood to show classic movies he loves. He loves his craft and that’s something I can respect.
I understand taste is subjective and a lot of people don’t like his movies. I get that. I get that a lot of people don’t like his politics. After this week police especially don’t like his politics.
Tarantino spoke at a rally in New York City against police brutality and said he stands with the murdered. Those comments really pissed off the cops and police unions all over the country have banned together to stage a boycott of Tarantino’s upcoming flick, The Hateful Eight.
To his credit, Tarantino has not apologized. And he shouldn’t. He mentioned murderers. He did not say all cops are murderers and has elaborated that is not what he’s saying. Good for him. He could have made his initial comments a little clearer but it’s not his fault people want to get their tighties in a bunch over words. This upsetting people over an opinion is something I’m familiar with. A lot of times people hear what they want to hear, especially when they want to play the victim.
Jim Pasco, the head of the national Fraternal Order of Police, told reporters that “something is in the works” against Tarantino. What does that mean? He elaborated a bit that the union’s plans “could happen any time” between now and the premiere of Tarantino’s new movie. Right when shutting up might be in the cop’s best interest he went on and said “We’ll be opportunistic. Tarantino has made a good living out of violence and surprise. Our officers make a living trying to stop violence, but surprise is not out of the question.”
How do you take something like that without a veiled threat of violence being something you want to hear?
The police don’t have to like what Tarantino said. But instead of getting upset with celebrities they should be upset with cops who are hurting their image. They should be upset that innocent people are dying at the hands of police and most of the time they would get away with it if it’s not caught on camera. They should put more effort into preventing cops from targeting minorities and killing unarmed black men and less into a stupid boycott.
I find that to be something much more worthy to get angry over.
Pass the popcorn.

Weinstein: Hollywood's Reckoning

Harvey Weinstein was a brilliant studio mogul and movie producer who redefined the viability of independent cinema in America and around the world. According to dozens of accusers, he was also a serial predator and rapist who wrecked the lives and careers of countless women over the course of his career. Produced by Sky News, Weinstein: Hollywood's Reckoning profiles the brave women who first came forward to take down one of the kings of the movie industry.
The Weinstein story is one of power and id run amok. The film features interviews with a series of his accusers who all share similar stories of humiliation and harassment. His list of victims included well-known actresses, journalists, assistants and below-the-line creative talent. He often dangled employment opportunities in exchange for sexual relations. When his advances were denied, he would turn verbally abusive. He'd threaten to end their dreams of a career in the film industry, and he had the clout to do it. In some cases, the accusers claim Weinstein used his considerable physical prowess to weigh them down and rape them.
In an industry that prides financial success above all else, Weinstein was the most celebrated figure of all. As a result of his unparalleled success, his immense sphere of influence, and fear of his wrath, his reign of bullying and misconduct was allowed to continue for more than three decades.
Throughout the film, those who worked closely with Weinstein attempt to explore his deranged psychology. We learn about the tactics he employed while engaging in inappropriate and oftentimes criminal behavior. We also meet people in the industry who saw the problematic signs along the way, but chose to overlook them out of naivete, ignorance or willful avoidance. In perhaps the most compelling and convincing portion of the film, one of the accusers provides commentary over a video she recorded which captures the prelude to her abuse.
The women featured in the documentary represent the dawning of a critical and overdue movement. Whatever the end result of Weinstein's court troubles following these charges of misconduct, Weinstein: Hollywood's Reckoning is a gratifying portrait of survivorship and a celebration of victim empowerment.

Hollywood is a cesspool of immorality. This ugly gross predator got away with it for so long because he was surrounded by like minded ugly gross predators. And its still happening.
2. H
Including Kavanagh in this piece destroyed its credibility. What about the woman who clearly tried to frame him.
3. Jon Jonzz
All of Hollyweird knew about this Pig and said nothing. From Oprah to the msm, to the Clintons, to the entire Democratic Party. The #metoo was dropped very quickly after information came out about Groping, Slow Joe Biden.
4. Frances Gasparotto
This man just comes across as an absolute cretin! I cannot believe that he was surrounded by so many enablers and now those people are turning against him! I hope hell is hot enough for him to rot in!
5. Erika
He is so hideous I would have thrown up if he masturbated in front of me. Hope he hangs himself like Epstein did.
6. Thomas
Man the comment section on this site is terrible.
7. Ali
if prostitution is suddenly redefined as rape, and the dictionary definition of force is changed then yes Harvey Weinstein was a rapist. i dont like his politics nor him as a human being but he's being railroaded, as is Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey. But if I even suggest that these women were willing, and never reported it, I suddenly become a 'rapist' too. Feminism etc.
8. Showalter
I just love being lectured by the captain of the girls grammer school hockey team.
9. kirkendoll
How many of those women offered sex before he could ask . Sorry but put a $10 million deal on the table and women can be the most immoral people on earth . A woman in his position would be just as bad just not judged as harshly
1. Gorilla Girl
Would you enjoy being anally raped?

He's one of the most repulsive looking men I have ever seen.

The House of Rothschild - image Courtesy Niall Ferguson and Viking
Let me highlight the socio-political conundrum identified in part-1, quoting myself (since no one else ever quotes a confused person): “Perhaps I am going about this free-thinking business all wrong? Perhaps there is some happy halfway compromise to fully independent thinking which will also help me gain friends and influence people?”
The following example almost always loses me friends, tempting me to stop experimenting with independent thought altogether. I believe it is a miracle that I still dabble in it every now and then. I observed the following conundrum in 'Of Ostriches and Rebels on The Hard Road to World Order':
--- begin excerpt from 'Of Ostriches and Rebels on The Hard Road to World Order'
Herman Van Rompuy's message of hope at the completion stages [of world order] decades later was merely the cross-generational echo of Richard N. Gardner's “prospects for peace, welfare and human dignity” that had been long sewn “bottom up, rather than from the top down” such that to the uninformed public, it would always “look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion’ to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
The blood-drenched transformation stage that we find ourselves in today – the wreckage of civilizations – is truly “Between Two Ages”. That brilliant description is not mine, but the title of Zbigniew Brzezinski's seminally self-serving 1970 book which [presumably] got him appointed as the Executive Director of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission. There are more than a dozen Trilateralists and CFRs in President Obama's Administration too, pushing the banksters' globalist agendas finally to fruition across multiple fronts simultaneously. The money behind them, at least in the United States, is primarily the Rockefellers' who own the majority stake in the New York Fed, which in turn largely controls the Federal Reserve System. In Europe, the money is primarily the Rothschilds' who control all the world's private central banks (including America's Federal Reserve and international lending-policing agencies such as the World Bank IMF tag-team and the WTO) with complex interlocking relationships among a closed-knit tiny fraternity who exercise their will upon international banking and global finance and thus upon all nations of the world, through their largely unknown Bank for International Settlements ( located in Basle, Switzerland.
Entirely coincidentally of course, BIS is located in the same secretive banking capital where Theodor Herzl had earlier made his notorious Jewish manifesto, Der Judenstaat public in the First World Zionist Congress in 1897 to set the public stage for the creation of the exclusively Jewish state of Israel in 1948. Also entirely coincidentally, the British Empire had gratuitously issued its famous 1917 Balfour Declaration in the name of Lord Rothschild, the principal owner and founder of the international financial system who had controlled the Bank of England since Waterloo. And again entirely coincidentally, America's entry into World War I was facilitated after the founding of its own 'Bank of England', i.e., the Federal Reserve System principally by Paul Warburg, the banking fraternal twin of Lord Rothschild in whose palace the Treaty of Versailles was signed after World War I to enable the British Mandate over the lands of historic Palestine.
These remarkable coincidences have today made the Rothschilds the most revered family name in Israel. Some call them the King of the Jews – and to live up to that Solomon-ly title, the Rothschilds have architected, financed and built the Jewish state's principal hall of Justice, the Israeli Supreme Court in Jerusalem. The Jewish State today enjoys the unparalleled privilege of an “Iron Wall” that none can breach. The Rothschild's frankenstein can with brazen impunity exterminate, assassinate, and bomb, to the applause of the world leaders (see 'Pamphlet: How to Return to Palestine'). And yet, strangely, the Rothschild's role in seeding and orchestrating the affairs of the modern world is consistently downplayed almost universally. No media, no academic, no scholar, no historian, no dissent-chief, no corporate executive, no billionaire on Forbes list, the Forbes list itself, and of course no politician and world statesman, dare utter that name publicly – and so long as they don't, they can say anything else they want. Elusive power such as this is not a figment of someone's imagination.
Prof. Carroll Quigley was permitted to openly state the following in his 1966 book Tragedy and Hope, and his controlled revelations which continued that tradition of downplaying the name of the Rothschilds, only came on the heels of the free-wheeling Eustace Mullins' well-documented exposé of how the Federal Reserve System in the United States was conspiringly created by forces representing the same globalist banking elite, and he had not spared the Rothschild name; this was followed by a series of books and documentary films in the 1970s by many others including Gary Allen, W. Cleon Skoussen, G. Edward Griffin, Antony Sutton et. al.

I dared to think about that palpable omission on my own, inviting both confusion and loss of friends.
I asked: why was that most distinguished and singular Jewish family name, Rothschild, never permitted any significant mention not just in the Western press, but in the worldwide mainstream presses? It surely wasn't only because the AP and other news agencies, newspapers, newsmedia, were interlocking owned/controlled by the uber financiers of the world, the House of Rothschild.
Even the brave president of Iran, Dr Ahmadinijad, and the brave president of Venezuela, Chavez, courageously challenging the status quo of the world anytime they acquire a microphone in their hands have not dared to mention that name. It is evidently still risk free to waive Noam Chomsky's 'Hegemony and Survival' from the UN podium and speak out against the criminal excesses of the sole superpower and its Allies du jour, but not okay to wonder out loud why was the Balfour Declaration issued in the House of Rothschild name?
Hmmm.... What sort of elusive omnipotent power did that magical name command such that it had erected an equally magical “Iron Wall” around Der Judenstaat? An “Iron Wall” which protected the Zionists' grotesque re-settlement and extermination project for Jewish Lebensraum being conducted with brazen impunity, often under thunderous applause of the Western leaders who continually renew their vows to support the expansion of the Jewish State created in the very name of Lord Rothschild, that none living dare mention and investigate that name while they continue to pay lip-service in support of the Palestinian peoples?
The Palestine freedom zealots in the West can boldly investigate and indict the dispensable Israeli leaders who come and go every election, but not its founder who evidently goes on forever?
By the Rothschild's own watered-down admission, they are not a has-been House:
'We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally. ... We have had 250 years or so of family involvement in the finance business, ... There is no debate that Rothschild is a Jewish family, ... For a family business to survive, every generation needs a leader, ... Then somebody has to keep the peace. Building a global firm before globalisation meant a mindset of sharing risk and responsibility. If you look at the DNA of our family, that is perhaps an element that runs through our history.' --- Baron David de Rothschild, The first barons of banking by Rupert Wright, UAE, November 6, 2008
That humble confession by Baron David de Rothschild quoted above exactly fulfills in this generation, the well-known directives issued by their forefather, the founder of the House of Rothschild, Mayer Amschel Bauer. A long staple of Rothschild biographers, the founding directives are even vicariously depicted by Hollywood in the 1934 film which was intended to be an ode to the Rothschild name. Watch this short clip of the movie The House of Rothschild, about half way through in that clip, the historical depiction from the mouth of great-grandfather Amschel Rothschild, is empirically being fulfilled today, 250 years later, as glibly confirmed even in that watered-down admission from his own great-grandson, David de Rothschild!
The UAE National newspaper even openly stated its lack of faith in the 'coincidence theory' of history and noted the overarching contemporary significance of the House of Rothschild:
'Among the captains of industry, spin doctors and financial advisers accompanying British prime minister Gordon Brown on his fund-raising visit to the Gulf this week, one name was surprisingly absent. This may have had something to do with the fact that the tour kicked off in Saudi Arabia. But by the time the group reached Qatar, Baron David de Rothschild was there, too, and he was also in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Although his office denies that he was part of the official party, it is probably no coincidence that he happened to be in the same part of the world at the right time. That is how the Rothschilds have worked for centuries: quietly, without fuss, behind the scenes.'
In fact, according to the following article in the London Times, the Rothschild's is the one unusual financial House in the world which came out ahead without any legal extortion, ahem, financial bailouts of people's money legally granted by the people's elected Representatives to the robber barons of modernity (watch that bizarre extortion racket for the forced Bailout in the United States in October 2008 here: , and witness my further confused experiments in independent thought in 'Why Bluff Martial Law?'):
'Not all investment bankers are having to get by on reduced or no bonuses this year. Rothschild group staff have received record bonuses, it has emerged after the bank reported a 31 per cent improvement in profits before tax to €459 million.
Record results from both its advisory and private banking operations enabled the bank to pay the bonuses to its 2,700 people in June.
Unlike conventional investment banks Rothschild, whose chairman is Davide de Rothschild, has steered clear of proprietary trading, prime broking and other activities that have devastated rivals, although it still wrote off €96 million because of souring loans.
Rothschild’s year-end of March means the bonuses were paid before the most serious setbacks to banks. Most investment banks pay out bonuses between January and May. Goldman Sachs is due to tell its staff the size of their payouts in the next three weeks.
Alongside its pro-forma group-wide results, Rothschild unveiled a joint venture with Rabobank of the Netherlands, whereby the two sides will pool their staff and clients in the food and agriculture sector.
As part of the deal, Rabobank is buying a 7.5 per cent stake in one of the key holding companies in the Rothschild empire, Rothschild Continuation Holdings, which owns the N M Rothschild business in the UK.
Rabobank becomes the second biggest investor outside the family after the trading group Jardine Matheson, which owns 20 per cent. Rabobank’s vice chairman Sipko Schat joins the Rothschild board.
It is the second joint venture with a Dutch bank. Rothschild teamed up with ABN Amro for 11 years in equity capital markets before dissolving the arrangement when Royal Bank of Scotland took over ABN last year.
Rabobank’s stake was held in treasury by Rothschild after it bought it from the insurer Eagle Star. No price was put on the deal. Jardine paid $185 million for its 20 per cent in 2005.
Rothschild advisory clients include Rio Tinto, which is fighting a hostile bid from BHP, British Energy in its deal with EDF of France and Alliance & Leicester when it was sold to Banco Santander.' --- Rothschild pays out record bonuses to staff by Patrick Hosking, Times Online, November 19, 2008
With full spectrum control of the world's private central banks and BIS firmly in the hands of the House of Rothschild and their closed knit coterie, I of course, in my confused experiment of thinking for myself, chalk that wizard financial success of bailing out from publicly traded banks about to fail in a timely manner, and having only successes for one's own private family bank, up to just another coincidence. I strongly suspect that Gary Allen's confusion on such coincidences far exceeded mine as evidenced from his book None Dare Call it Conspiracy:
'Those who believe that major world events result from planning are laughed at for believing in the "conspiracy theory of history." Of course, no one in this modern day and age really believes in the conspiracy theory of history -except those who have taken the time to study the subject. When you think about it, there are really only two theories of history. Either things happen by accident neither planned nor caused by anybody, or they happen because they are planned and somebody causes them to happen. In reality, it is the "accidental theory of history" preached in the unhallowed Halls of Ivy which should be ridiculed. Otherwise, why does every recent administration make the same mistakes as the previous ones? Why do they repeat the errors of the past which produce inflation, depressions and war? Why does our State Department "stumble" from one Communist-aiding "blunder" to another? If you believe it is all an accident or the result of mysterious and unexplainable tides of history, you will be regarded as an "intellectual" who understands that we live in a complex world. If you believe that something like 32,496 consecutive coincidences over the past forty years stretches the law of averages a bit, you are a kook!' (Gary Allen, None Dare Call it Conspiracy, 1971, Chapter 1)
But more pertinent to my confusion for the main point under consideration, namely, the bizarre silence on the Rothschilds when it comes to the topic of the holy lands which they 'own' completely, as even demonstrated to the most ardent zealot fighting the cause of Palestine by the fact of the Balfour Declaration gratuitously awarding Palestine to the entire Jewish peoples being specifically in just that one singular name, doesn't that omission appear frighteningly absurd once again? See for instance: 'Zahir's Response to Francis Boyle's Jewistan – What Elephant?'.
Well, to me that silence is just as absurdly confounding as the bizarre merrymaking with the 'Happy Unbirthday' song at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party confounded Alice in Wonderland.
So, while searching for a way out of these absurd confusions rapidly piling up, I found this really bizarre interview asking similar questions for the first time in modern times, about the House of Rothschild, and I transcribed it: 'Rothschild Connection to World Government and Zionism: David Icke – Origins and Symbolism of the EU'.
Please see what you make of such attempts at independent thinking. Also please feel free to advise me how one ought to go about this independent thinking business, the much wonted contribution of Western civilization to modern man, or so they say, without stepping on censor toes – never mind without losing friends. Even this last thought is causing me a great deal of confusion. But first, here is the interview.

'They are all connected, and they are connected through the House of Rothschild.
See, if people just took a breadth, and looked at the whole scene, they would ask serious questions:
The Balfour Declaration November 2nd 1917
[ Why is the Balfour Declaration addressed to a Rothschild? ]
House of Rothschild's Monument to Justice in Zionistan
[ Why is Israel's Supreme Court in Jerusalem built by the Rothschilds? ]
Why does that slither of land, called Israel, and I have driven around it, and you can virtually drive around it in a day, why does it have so much power?
Why is it the biggest by far recipient of American aid when it is one of the richest per capita countries in the world?
Why does it have the biggest F-16 fleet outside America?
How come it can have a very considerable arsenal of nuclear weapons, refuse to sign a Non Proliferation Treaty, and have a breadth taking agreement which has just been confirmed by Barrack Obama in the last few months, that they have a policy in terms of America and other countries in Israel, that they don't ask whether they have got nuclear weapons. And therefore, Israel does not have to say if they have or not. This is an official policy!
Why, when they pepper-bomb the most crowded piece of land in the world, and instigate slaughter on a shocking scale, does the international community, apart from one or two people, say nothing?
The House of Rothschild controls Israel. It created Israel. And more than that, it created a political philosophy, note a POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, called ZIONISM.
What they have brilliantly done, though it's breaking down, is they have equated Jewish people as a race with Zionism, which is a political philosophy. And at its core is a secret society, connects into the other secret societies.
And, so if you challenge Zionism, and its horrors, and its impositions, and its hypocrisy, and its slaughter, you are equated with being prejudiced against Jewish people.
What they don't tell you is significant number of Jewish people are actually appalled by Zionism. And actually openly protest against it.
And there is some fantastic young people in Israel that refuse to serve in the military, and end up in jail because of it. And you, know they are incredible people to have that sense of value.
The questions that I have just posed can be answered very easily.
The House of Rothschild control American politics. They control the neo-cons, they control Bush, they control what I call the demo-cons that control Obama.
And in the White House as I speak, we have the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is the puppeteer, immediate puppeteer of Obama, [ Just like Bush's Brain was Karl Rove ] and his father actually served in an Israeli Zionist terror group called Irgun, which, with others, bombed Israel into existence and forced 750,000 to 800,000 Palestinians to leave their homeland after 1948.
The reason, therefore, that Israel is the biggest recipient of American aid and military support, is because this hand [points to right hand] called the House of Rothschild, takes the money from the United States and hands it to this hand [points to left hand] called Israel of the House of Rothschild, and says thank you very much!
The reason that there is no questioning of Israeli nuclear capability, that they get away literally with mass murder, time and time again, is because the House of Rothschild controls the countries of the European Union, and controls the European Union. I mean, Tony Blair is a "yes sir no sir, three bags full sir, how high would you like me to jump sir" front man for the House of Rothschild.
So who do they put in after he left the British Government, as negotiator of peace in Israel - Tony Bloody Blair! 'What should I say Mr. Rothschild, thank you very much, thank you thank you' [mimics Tony Blair]. That's it.
So when you have got the same force controlling all these different agencies, than of course they are gonna be coordinated.
That's the way Israel gets away with what it gets away with.
And if people think its anti-Semitic, well actually anti-Semitic means anti-Arab by the way, then they'll have to take it and shove it somewhere where the sun don't shine 'cause I ain't shutting up about this because it is fundamental to understanding the world, and to understanding the European Union and world events!
The Jewish people, in general, have been mercilessly used by the House of Rothschild, and their front secret society, satanic secret society, called Zionism, as a front which they can hide behind.
So it is House of Rothschild organizations like B'nai Brith, Sons of the Covenant, who created an organization called the Anti-Defamation league, which goes around defaming everyone ironically, who have not just campaigned for hate laws that stop you exposing these people, they have actually written the bloody legislation in America, in North America and Canada.
And so, these hate laws which say you can't say this you can't say that, because that's prejudiced and all that, they are not there to protect gay people - everyone ought to their own I say, I couldn't care less - they are not there to protect Jewish people, or minorities.
They are there, simply, to stop legitimate investigation of the Rothschilds and its network. That's what they are there for.
And, they are in so many ways the Rothschilds. At operational level, the center of the spider's web.
And they need to be exposed.
[ 'Therefore, focussing on Jewish political action groups like AIPAC, ADL, JDL, Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics, et. al., who put Israel first to influence the superpower's policies, or the hundred Jewish-dominated opaquely funded private think-tanks like the AEI, CFR, et. al., who ab initio construct the polices of war and hegemony favoring Israel, without betraying any comprehension of the actual prime-movers behind them, is not only an exercise in futility, but these visible magnets are deliberately there, and manifest themselves with their inexplicable arrogance, precisely in order to draw fire away from the prime-movers!' -- ]
Because if they get exposed, and they go, when I say go [I mean] they are removed from their positions of power, 'cause to be honest, if they went to jail, for what they have been responsible for, the House of Rothschild, they would have to reincarnate hundreds of times to complete the sentence!
[ 'If fair punishments are ever to be awarded for their crimes against humanity for just the past 100 years in any Just court of law, Adolph Eichmann would have to be retroactively let go by resurrecting his soul from his grave with high honors and awarded multiple peace prizes plus compensation, in order to administer hanging and extraction of restitution as the graduated scale of ultimate punishment for the ultimate prime-movers of all wars and pestilence before which their errand boys' and patsies' crimes against humanity pale in comparison.' -- ]
And, we've ignored them. Or we have not ignored them, people have ignored their power for long enough because they have brilliantly hidden it. It needs the light to be shone on it because when they come down, in so many ways, the House of cards comes down!
Thank you very much.'

Aaaaaah, confusion, confusion! I could just scream. No wonder why the goyem don't think much, and it is not recommended for us to think by the doctors who conveniently do all the original thought experiments for us to save us the burden. Here is the problem alluded to earlier, stepping on censor toes, and it can only be the inevitable conclusion of our zeitgeist: If one avoids tabooed thoughts for fear of censorship, loss of friends, being indicted and incarcerated under the thought-crimes Bill pending in many a legislature's quarters worldwide, is that still considered 'independent thinking', the gift of Western civilization to mankind? Perhaps it is so under NewSpeak, the newly revised gift of Western civilization to the Dawn of the New Age? The New Age being hasteningly beckoned by Zbigniew Brzezinski, cited above, wherein, he justified/rationalized humanity's deadly plight in our zeitgeist by quoting Hermann Hesse from Steppenwolf thusly; “Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap. . . . There are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence.”? That profound insight, of brilliant hindsight and self-serving foresight, very well could be the elusive key I have been searching for to open the mysterious door past which I can't see.
Further Study
To catch only a fleeting glimpse for yourself of that veil past which evidently no one else is able to see either, and which is seeding so much confusion among those wanting to do their own independent thinking that unless one opens up the final edition of the Newspeak dictionary described by George Orwell in his seminal work '1984' (watch the movie here), one is destined to stay confused, read the following two books by Eustace Mullins: The World Order – A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism, and The Curse of Canaan – A Demonology of History. Additionally, The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler, and The Empire of “The City” (world superstate) – The Jekyll/Hyde Nature of the British Government by E. C. Knuth, are both helpful in thinning out the powerful fog of confusion which surrounds the origins and the rise to power of Black Nobility. A careful study of these books (PDF available on the web; search, download and read them before these out-of-print books get banned, or, reading them is made a thought-crime), helps one understand the elusive power which has corrupted and co-opted almost all of dissent in the West today creating the sort of absurdities highlighted in my confusions. The pernicious nature of that indomitable power to mold, influence and corrupt across the board world-wide was captured in the following way by W. Cleon Skoussen in his commentary on Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope:
'The real value of Tragedy and Hope ... [is the] bold and boastful admission by Dr. Quigley that there actually exists a relatively small but powerful group which has succeeded in acquiring a choke-hold on the affairs of practically the entire human race. Of course we should be quick to recognize that no small group could wield such gigantic power unless millions of people in all walks of life were “in on the take” and were willing to knuckle down to the iron-clad regimentation of the ruthless bosses behind the scenes. As we shall see, the network has succeeded in building its power structure by using tremendous quantities of money (together with the vast influence it buys) to manipulate, intimidate, or corrupt millions of men and women and their institutions on a world-wide basis.' (W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Capitalist, pg. 6)
The Rothschild Archive Overview Page from 2002 : 'Of particular significance are two deposits of papers relating to the family in France, dating from the late 19th century to the 1930s. These two collections record the involvement of family members in areas such as the theatre, philanthropic organisations, the development of Jewish colonies in Palestine and the management of estates and art collections.'
The publicly available need to research (as in need to know) private archives of the House of Rothschild is now on the web. Presumably sanitized of any adverse material – since its primary purpose evidently is to glorify the 250 years of exploits of the House of Rothschild – for those inclined to experiment in forensic confusion, it may yet prove to be an invaluable treasure trove of discovery: . The private Rothschild Archives I imagine is where the official biographers have always received their source material to write their pandering odes to the House of Rothschild. See for instance, The House of Rothschild by Niall Ferguson. Now it's available to you as well!
For those unable to read, but still inclined to experiment in some self-inflicted confusion, Grace Power's Amenstop Production DVD 'Ring of Power' may be a good starting point (watch part-1, part-2, the second part focusses on the House of Rothschild). I rather like Grace Powers' DVD presentation which is based on some of the historical material presented in the above books, because she addressed her video to the lowest level mental acumen in Western society with an easy to follow narrative. I have never met Grace Powers, communicate with her every now and then over email, consider her a seeker of knowledge based on her work, but don't agree with her many esoteric opinions and conclusions which, rather strangely, anyone who speaks of the oligarchy, secret societies, and the Black Nobility, also often seem to hold. I am glad the authors whose books are recommended reading above appeared to be an exception to this bizarre contemporary empiricism. Mullins' The Curse of Canaan is an intriguing deconstruction of history which he based on his understanding of the Bible and study of the Talmudic literature. One may draw from Mullins' pointing fingers what one may, perhaps using Bruce Lee's wisdom expressed in his martial arts movie Enter the Dragon: “Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory” (watch movie clip here).
I too apply such Zen of analysis to my own self-inflicted confusions (when I could just as well bow before 'experts' and save me the bother), and Grace Powers' work is no exception. What that specifically means in this case is not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Leave aside the speculative material for some future time, and focus directly on the rational analysis based on obvious and historical facts. On the whole, Ring of Power's narrative on the House of Rothschild is penetratingly contemporary, as Grace Powers attempts to forensically tie 9/11 and the documented historical quest for World Order of the Black Nobility for the average dumbed-down television watcher of America. If the size of the 'United We Stand' crowd and the size of protests in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 are any indication, the dumbed-down and indoctrinated peoples of America likely constitute well over 90% of its 300 million population!
What brazen absurdity once again. The mightiest superpower on earth in this information age is also home to the most ignorant and mind controlled peoples, including The Master Builders of the Technetronic Era! Who created such pathetic state of affairs in this once unassailable nation and why? There is very little time left for its public to find out. A short 10-minute readable summary is: 'Of Ostriches and Rebels on The Hard Road to World Order'.

Q:
사흘 있으면: how 면 is used in the sentence?
Could anyone explain the usage of 면 in the sentence below?
Also how would you translate it?
사흘 있으면 명절이므로 길이 막힐 거다.
A:
Usually when there is the form [time period] + 있으면, the implied meaning is "After [time period]" or "(With)in [time period]."
So, "사흘 있으면" means "In three days."
The full sentence translated means
"Because it will be a holiday in three days, the roads will be jammed."
The fuller form really is [time period] + 있으면 Noun + 이다, meaning "In [amount of time], it will be [Noun]."

Q:
Eclipse paho for mqtt in Android throws error
I am trying to use the MQTT eclipse paho library for my android application. I first wrote the code in java and tested in Eclipse. It works perfectly. However, the same libraries and functions are not working as expected in Android. I have added my jar in the libs folder of the app. I also added compile files('libs/org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3-1.0.2.jar') in the gradle for the app. The app compiles properly, but throws exception.
This is my code:

Permission for manifest file:
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"
A:
The problem is because you are using the default constructor to create the MqttClient object. This instantiates a MqttDefaultFilePersistence object to write messages to while delivering them (QOS 1 or 2). Even with write permissions you don't have access to the default directory.
You need to use this version of the constructor
And either pass it a MqttDefaultFilePersistence object that points to a directory you can write to or pass a MemoryPersistence object

Olive Oil Benefits and Uses
Virgin and extra virgin olive oils are the only vegetable oils that can be consumed raw, without having been refined or rectified, so they retain all of their vitamins, essential fatty acids and other natural components of high dietetic value.
olive oil, like all fats, is characterised by its high content of fatty acids. But not all fatty acids are the same. A distinction has to be drawn between ‘saturated’ and ‘unsaturated’ fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids come from animal sources (except for coconut and cocoa oils) and their consumption is associated with ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) accumulating in the blood and arteries, which can give rise to cardiovascular diseases.
Unsaturated fatty acids, meanwhile, generally come from plant sources (except for fish) and their consumption is associated with higher levels of ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL), which is capable of removing ‘bad’ cholesterol from the cardiovascular system and returning it to the liver, where it is eliminated. Within this group, a distinction has to be drawn between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
• Linoleic acid, which is found in seeds such as those from the sunflower, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that helps to reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol, but it has the drawback of oxidising easily, which involves the formation of free radicals that are harmful to our health.
• Oleic acid, contained in olive oil is a monounsaturated fat that reduces ‘bad’ cholesterol and, even more importantly, favours ‘good’ cholesterol, meaning that it works to keep the heart healthy and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, oleic acid is more resistant to chemical decomposition caused by high temperatures and is less absorbed into the foods that are fried in it, which increases their digestibility and reduces the amount of calories in the end product.
Other studies have also suggested that virgin olive oil has anticoagulant properties that help prevent the formation of blood clots, prevent bacterial infections, and reduce the risk of developing cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Extra virgin olive oil was used as a medicine in antiquity due to its natural properties and pharmacological action.
• Antioxidant properties:
Olive oil contains polyphenols that prevent cellular oxidation which causes ageing and the appearance of tumours. It can also act to prevent some types of cancer, such as colon or breast cancer, although this has not been scientifically proven. The oil with the highest polyphenol content is extra virgin olive oil.
• Protects against the development of cardiac disorders:
It reduces arterial tension, lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol and raises good (HDL) cholesterol, impedes the obstruction of the arteries, thereby preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and making it incapable of causing atherosclerosis. In short, it reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
• Prevents cognitive deterioration:
Olive oil protects the brain from deteriorating, slowing down the process of premature ageing. It helps to maintain cognitive capacities, memory and intellect which are gradually lost with age. Although not proven, it is believed that olive oil can prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
• Good for the digestive system:
Olive oil improves intestinal, digestive and pancreatic function. It also stimulates the production of bile, inhibits the absorption of cholesterol by the intestine, makes diabetics require less insulin and improves the intestinal absorption of mineral salts.
• Improves bone mineralisation:
It reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis and fractures caused by ageing.
• Good for the skin:
Olive oil has been used as a cosmetic since antiquity due to its skin moisturising properties. Its consumption also improves the structure of the epidermis and slows coetaneous ageing from the inside.

Doughnut Strawberry Shortcake
[Photographs and original illustrations: Cakespy]
I'm not going to say that Doughnut Strawberry Shortcake is a million times better than regular Strawberry Shortcake. But I am pretty confident in saying that it's at least a hundred times better.
It's a beautiful balancing act: the holey rounds of lightly crispy fried dough act as perfect bookends for the light-as-air whipped cream and juicy strawberry slices which act as filling. The doughnut slices absorb just enough of the whipped cream so that the flavors combine, making for bite after perfect creamy bite.
Note: You can use any type of non-filled doughnut you'd like for this recipe.

Voodoo Glow Skulls United States
Voodoo Glow Skulls are an underground third-wave ska band. Their music is a mixture of old-style ska, punk and metal. The band formed in 1988 in Riverside, California by brothers Frank, Eddie and Jorge Casillas and their longtime friend Jerry O'Neill. The Voodoo Glow Skulls practiced for two years in a sweaty back bedroom/practice space until they forged a taut unit that performed with demonic intensity and a demented sense of humor.

An exploratory analysis of the model for understanding success in quality.
Experience suggests that differences in context produce variability in the effectiveness of quality improvement (QI) interventions. However, little is known about which contextual factors affect success or how they exert influence. Using the Model for Understanding Success in Quality (MUSIQ), we perform exploratory quantitative tests of the role of context in QI success. We used a cross-sectional design to survey individuals participating in QI projects in three settings: a pediatric hospital, hospitals affiliated with a state QI collaborative, and organizations sponsoring participants in an improvement advisor training program. Individuals participating in QI projects completed a questionnaire assessing contextual factors included in MUSIQ and measures of perceived success. Path analysis was used to test the direct, indirect, and total effects of context variables on QI success as hypothesized in MUSIQ. In the 74 projects studied, most contextual factors in MUSIQ were found to be significantly related to at least one QI project performance outcome. Contextual factors exhibiting significant effects on two measures of perceived QI success included resource availability, QI team leadership, team QI skills, microsystem motivation, microsystem QI culture, and microsystem QI capability. There was weaker evidence for effects of senior leader project sponsors, organizational QI culture, QI team decision-making, and microsystem QI leadership. These initial tests add to the validity of MUSIQ as a tool for identifying which contextual factors affect improvement success and understanding how they exert influence. Using MUSIQ, managers and QI practitioners can begin to identify aspects of context that must be addressed before or during the execution of QI projects and plan strategies to modify context for increased success. Additional work by QI researchers to improve the theory, refine measurement approaches, and validate MUSIQ as a predictive tool in a wider range of QI efforts is necessary. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '7c5ec12073788285fe01d99832359f8c769ac42fb36bf753d0f9fca14574a67a'} |
In 1605, the young chief of the Celeuth Mongols effected reconciliation between the Kalmuks and his own tribe who had been quarreling for some time on the question of precedence between Gahdan and Urga. For this service, the Emperor of China conferred on him the Buddhist title of Ta-Kau-sri, from which circumstance he became known by the name of Gushi Khan. In the year 1609, the armies of Tsang again invaded the but encountering much opposition, they were forced to withdraw from there. In 1611, Phun-tshog Namgyal, who patronized the Shwa-mar (red-cap) Lamas, became the supreme ruler of Tibet. In the beginning of the 17th century, the province of Tsang came to prominence on account of the power of its Deba or chief. He belonged to the Karmapa hierarchy known by the name of Shwa-mar which had its headquarters at Tshorpu and Halting. With a view to put to shade Tashilhunpo, they erected a large monastery in its In the year 1615, Yontan Gya-tsho died, an event which was followed by the siege of the monasteries of Sera and Dapung by the armies of Sarat Chandra Das — The Hierarchy of the Dalai Lama. [Extra No. of the Deha of Tsang in which several thousand yellow-cap Lamas were killed. The news of this disaster to the Yellow Church enraged the Celestial Mongols, whose general marched with a large army to Tibet and fought a fierce battle with the Tsang army at Kyang-thang-gang, and killed several thousand Tibetans. In 1620, the Mongolians retired after restoring the lost territorial endowments of the Yellow Church to the monasteries of Sera, Dapung and Gahdan. About this time, Sera and Dapung were presided over by the grand Lama of Tashilhunpo. In 1621, the boy Lozang Gya-tsho, in whom the spirit of Yontan Gya-tsho had passed in 1616, was brought to Dapung. In 1628, he was ordained and installed as the high priest of Dapung. About this time the Shwa-viar Lamas had regained their lost position and were vigorously persecuting the Yellow Church. They had, in the meantime, influenced the Kulmuk Mongols whose chief had become a convert to their creed. In the year 1636, Gushi Khan espoused the cause of the Yellow Church and entered Kokonor with a large array. At the outset of this invasion, he had to encounter with the Kulmuk Mongols who had taken up the side of the Shwa-mar Lamas. He completely defeated them after several engagements. From Kokonor, while proceeding towards Tibet, he heard that king Beri of Kham, who was a follower of the Bon religion, was preparing to invade Tibet. He, therefore, marched against him and reduced him to subjection. He again invaded Kham in 1639; this time, patting Beri to death, he annexed his territories to his Mongolian kingdom. In the year 1641, at the invitation and earnest entreaty of the Dalai Lama Ngag-wang Lozang Gya-tsho, he entered Tibet with 30,000 Tartars and fought several battles with the Tsang army led by the powerful Deha of Tsang. After capturing Lhasa and other towns which had been in the occupation of the Deha, he put him to prison, annexed Upper Tsang f of which Gyan-tse was the chief town, and proclaimed himself the supreme king of Tibet, assuming the Tibetan name of Ting-Chi-Gyal— the upholder of Religion or Dharma Eoja. The pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet, called Yun-drftn Bon, a form of fetischism in which exorcism and incantations were the chief features. It now prevails in some parts of Tibet, particularly, Kham, but in a greatly modified and partly Buddhist form. He left lower Tsang, with Shiga-tse as its capital, to the possession of the Grand Lama of Tashilhunpo which continues to belong to that hierarchy up to this day. Sarat Chandra Das — The Hierarchy of the Dalai Lama. He appointed Sonam Choiphel as Desrid (governor) to rule over the country in his absence. Henceforth Tibet became a dependency of the Mongolian kingdom founded by Gushi Khan, the (Elent-h chief, who owed but nominal allegiance to China. In 1643, six great nobles of China conspired against the last Ta-ming emperor Khrungtin (Tung-tin), and their leader usurped the imperial authority for some time. Shortly after, Shun-ti (also called Shunchi), a Mantchu chief, seized the throne and displaced the Ta-Ming dynasty. So, owing to troubles in China and confusion during the period which preceded this dynastic change, no armed protest came from Peking against Gushi Khan’s military operations in Tibet and Kham. In 1644, Gushi Khan built a castle on the famous hill of Potala for the accommodation of his court. As soon as Shun-ti found himself secure and firmly seated on the imperial throne, he took up the foreign affairs in hand. With a view to bring Tibet again under his direct control, he sent an invitation to the Dalai Lama to visit Peking. In 1651, Ngag-wang Lozang reached Peking where he was feted and loaded with honors. The Emperor, who with his whole family embraced the Lamaism of the Yellow-Church in preference to that of the red-cap school to which the Ta-Mings were attached, decorated him with the exalted title of Ta-kausri. On this occasion, the Dalai Lama was greatly impressed with the power and splendor of the Emperor’s court as well as the vastness of his dominions. With a view to make the position of his church secure in Tibet, he prayed to the Emperor that China might take over the protectorate of Tibet in the manner it was done by Khublai Khan, the founder of the Ta-Yen dynasty, when the Emperor himself had embraced the Lamaism of the Sakya-pa school. He also explained that the Ta-Mings from the time they had displaced the Tartar dynasty proved themselves very staunch supporters of Lamaism and became pledged to the tenets of the Red-cap sect of the Karma-pa hierarchy. Shun-ti very gladly acceded to the prayer. From that time the Man-tchu dynasty became vouched, under solemn promises, to the protection of the authority of the Dalai Lama in Tibet. Shortly after this, Shun-ti proceeded to Mukden, his Man-tchu capital, for offering prayers in the tombs of his ancestors. Lozang Gya-tsho accompanied him thither. At the end of the year 1652, the Lama returned to Tibet, visiting on the way the great monastery of G on-lung in Amdo, then a flourishing Yellow-Church institution with 10,000 monks. In 1653, Gushi Khan was succeeded by his son Da-yen Khan who appointed Lama Tin-leh Gjm-tsho as Desrid of Tibet. The government having passed from the hands of a Tartar General to those of a Lama, the power of the Dalai Lama, who had lately returned from China, full of glory, greatly increased. Lozang Gya-tsho, besides being a scholar, well read in the sacred literature, was a shrewd statesman of great ability. He made Tin-leh unconscious, subservient to his wishes in the government of the country. In 1668, the Lesrict died leaving the Government in the hands of a lavman named Choinon Deba, an incident which afforded Lozang Gya-tsho a still better opportunity to exercise his influence more effectually in the affairs of the state. In 1670, Da-ven Khan died leaving the throne to his son Ratna Talai Khan. On the retirement of Choipon Deba in 1671, Lama Lozang Jin-pa was appointed Desrid of Tibet. Since the conquest of Tibet by Gushi Khan, the internal administration of the country, which was vested in the Desrid, had been practically directed by Lozang Gya-tsho, who, since his return from China, was considered as the holiest man on the face of the earth on account of his having become the spiritual tutor of the Emperor of China. He was reverentially called Gongsa-nga-pachenpo, the fifth supreme Lama, the four who preceded him being Gadundub the founder of the hierarchy, Gadundub Gya-tsho, Sonam Gya-tsho and Yontan Gya-tsho. Talai Khan, having become powerless in Mongolia itself, his Desrid became a non-entity in Tibet. In the year 1678, Lozang Gya-tsho assumed the supreme control of the country and appointed Sangye-Gya-tsho, a layman of great wisdom and learning, as Desrid in the place of Lozang Jin-pa. Thus the sovereignty over Tibet and Kham practically passed from Talai Ratna Khan, the great-grandson of Gushi Khan, to the Tale Lama Nag-wang Lozang Gya-tsho, the supreme hierarch. The ancient castle of Srontsan-Gampo, the first Buddhist King of Tibet, which stood on the hill called Marpoi-ri (the red hill), was selected by Lozang Gya-tsho for his court. He transferred his residence and court called Chyog-le Namgyal from Dapung to there, and laid the foundation of the famous palace of Phodang Marpo, now called Gahdan Phodany Chyogle Namgyal. The name of the hill at the same time became changed. into Potala, because the residence of Bodhisntva Avalokhevara, the patron saint of Tibet, whose spirit was believed to have appeared both in King Srong-tsan Gampo and himself, was mentioned in the sacred books to have. been on the top of a hill called Potala-giri (the habour-hill) somewhere in the south of India. Henceforth, from this circumstance, Potala became the chief place of pilgrimage of the Buddhist of the northern school who regarded the Dalai Lama as the holiest of holies. His young Desrid, an adept in statecraft, than whom a greater statesman has not appeared in Tibet, in course of three years, firmly established the grand Lama’s temporal authority all over the country, including Kham and Amdo. In 1681, Lozang Gya-tsho died, but the wily Desrid managed to keep the occurrence secret from the public. He gave out that the Dalai Lama, whose spirit was in communion with the gods, had entered into a samadhi (deep-meditation) under a solemn vow not to come out to public view for a period of twelve years. He now dressed himself in lamarite robes, and assumed a holy character, for it was not desirable for a Desrid not to be looked upon as a holy man. He was regarded as A wise minister and efficient ruler: in 1683, he wrote a valuable work on astronomy, astrology and chronology called Vaidurya Karpo. In 1693, he completed the nine-storeyed building called Phobrang Mar-po (the red-palace) on Potala, and entombed the remains of Gongsa-tiga-po, in the central hall, in a golden Chorten (chaitya). In the same year, he installed, under the name of Tshang-yang Gya-tsho, a child, three years old, as the incarnation of the deceased Dalai who had passed out of his body at the termination of his twelve years' trance in profound samadhi. During this long period, the Desrid had consolidated the Dalai Lama’s authority, having governed the country with consummate skill. He being the central figure in the government, and a layman, too, was called De-ha, and his government came to be known by the name of shung. At the close of the year, with a view to commemorate the accession of his late master to The sovereignty of Tibet, he inaugurated the Tshog-choi, the congregational service in connection with the annual prayer meeting called Monlam Ghenpo, of Lhasa, founded by Tsong-khapa. In 1697, he wrote the work called Vai Ser-Ghoijuug, the history of the rise of the Yellow Church. Alex-Csoma de Koros, by mistake, located Potala in the neighbourhood of the town of Khara Tata in the mouth of the Indus in Sind. Signifying the central. Sarafc Chandra Das — The Hierarchy of the Dalai Lama. [Extra Lama, as he grew up in age, shewed indifference to the performance of his religious duties. He failed in almost all the examinations that he was required to pass through, before his ordination. He, however, displayed a tendency towards love-literature in which he acquired some proficiency. He selected from among the monks of Kamgyal Ta-tshang young men for his companions. He composed love songs and generally spent his time in the royal groves in the suburbs of Lasa, where men and women of all classes and age came to receive his blessings. Here he got facilities for indulging in the pleasures of life; the enjoyment of which was strictly prohibited to monks. His attention to young ladies alarmed the Lamas. At first the Courtiers interpreted this unholy tendency of the youthful Lama as a mark of his communion with the Khan-do (female angels) who, it was given out, paid him secret visits in the guise of young maidens for initiating him in the mysteries of Tantrik Buddhism; but later on, when the grand Lama ran to excesses, and sang love songs and behaved in utter disregard of the canonical rules, the public became undeceived. The Lamaic authorities of the monasteries of Sera, Dapiing and Gahdan took steps for his removal from the hierarchial throne. About this time, the Chungar or the left branch of the Celestial Mongols under the leadership of Tshe-wang-Rab-dan had become very powerful, in consequence of which the influence of Kushi Khan’s line over the Tartars greatly waned. The ambitious Tshe-wang Rabdan, who had made his power felt even in Russia in the north, was waiting for an opportunity to overrun Tibet. The friends of the Desrid now courted his help against the enemies of the government who had reported the matter to the Emperor of China. In the year 1701, the abbots of the great monasteries with the help of the Desrid induced the prodigal youth to formally renounce the vows of celebasy and monkhood which he had taken from the grand Lama of Tashilhunpo. An incarnate Lama named Ye-es Gya-tsho, who had come to Lhasa for that work, now took up the spiritual business appertaining to the Dalai Lama. In 1702, Desrid Sangye Gya-tsho resigned his office and retired to private life. In 1705, the unfortunate Dalai Lama was removed from Tibet under a Chinese escort. He died on the way near Lake. It is customary with the incarnate Lamas of Tibet to take religious vows from their seniors in the order. The grand Lama of Tashilhunpo being spiritually of equal rank with the Dalai Lama is competent to ordain him in the holy order. In the same manner, the Tashi Lama, when junior in age, receives his religious vows and ordination from the Dalai Lama. They are related to each other as spiritual brothers and called (Gyalsras or J inaputra) sons of Buddha. 1904.] Sarat Chandra Das— The Hierarchy of the Dalai Lama. 91 Kokonur. When this news reached Peking, Emperor Kanghi ordered that a child in whom the spirit of Nag-wang Lozang may be discovered should be reported to him. In 1703, Lhabzang, son of Talai Ratna Khan, declared himself ruler of Tibet. He dismissed the militia and raised an army from among the Tartars. His first act was to surround the residence of the retired Desrid, his former chief, with a number of armed men and to kill him with four hundred of his devoted followers, in 1704, orders came from the Emperor to deport Tshang yang Gya-tsho to China. The faction in the Yellow-Church which was inimical to Lhabzang took immediate steps to elect a new Dalai Lama. They gave out that Kag-wang Lozang Gya-tsho, who was reported to have entered Samadhi, had actually died in the year 1681, and his spirit reappeared in one Pakar dsin-pa Ye-es G. Ya-tsho in 1685, whose claim to the hierarchial throne was set aside by the Desidor Pakar dsin-pa, who was an ordained monk of pure morals, was, however, was holding the office of the high priest of Dupun. Accordingly, they set him up as the real deity of the city. Lhabzang submitted to Chinese authority. The Lamas of the Yellow-Church were now on their wit's end, being required to solve a problem of a novel nature. Emissaries were, therefore, sent to the different great monasteries of the Yellow-Church in search of a new incarnation of the Dalai Lama. Applications came from the parents of different child-pretenders to the exalted office, which were carefully examined. At last, the real embodiment of the Dalai Lama was found at Kumbum — the birthplace of Tsong-khapa, the founder of the Yellow-Church. The council of Buddhist cardinals comprising of the abbots of Sera, Dapung and Gahdan, with the Tashi Lama as president, on whom devolved the responsibility of the right identification, resorted to all manner of religious rites and consultations with the gods for the purpose. All evidence having pointed towards and in favour of the discovery at Kumbum, in a child born in 1707, the matter was reported to the Emperor. Sanction having come, the princely child named Kalzang Gya-tsho was declared Dalai Lama, but, on account of his tender age, the child could not be brought in state to Tibet and installed on the throne of Potala. Kanghi, however, invested him with the insignia of an imperial order in 1709. But fresh dangers had in the meantime sprung forth which threatened Lhasa and also taxed the energies of the Emperor. The Wang Rabdan, the powerful chief of Chungar or the left branch of the Celeuth Mongols who had risen to eminence on the downfall of Gushi Khan’s kingdom, had espoused the cause of the Tibetans. The friends of Desrid Sangye Gya-tsho, with a view to avenge his death and to overthrow Lhabzang, had communicated to him all that had happened in Tibet. Accordingly, Tshewang Rabdan sent a large army to Tibet for punishing the enemies of the Yellow-Church. In 1716 the Chinese and Tibetan troops fought a great battle with the Chungar army but were defeated, Lhabzang being slain in the field. In 1717, the victorious Chungars, at the instance of the yellow-cap Lamas, sacked the monasteries of rival sects such as Tshur-phu, Samding, Namgyaling, Dorje Tag, Mindolling and others, situated in the valley of the Tsangpo. In 1718 they returned. To Mongolia. About the time of the Chungar invasion, the Tibetans had endeavored to be independent, but Kanghi was determined to re-establish his authority over the whole of Mongolia and Tibet. In 1718, when order was restored in Tibet, the Chungar Mongolians being fully subjugated by the victorious Chinese, the young Dalai Lama was brought back to Lhasa from Kumbum by the command of the Emperor, who sent two high Commissioners ostensibly to protect the Dalai Lama but really to form an imperial residency at Lhasa which has since been controlling the political and military affairs of the country. In 1722, the Chungars and the Eleuth Mongals of Kokonur fought with the imperial forces and were defeated. The Chinese killed upwards of seven hundred monks of all grades, including the abbot of Ser-Khog-Gon, called Chuzang-Rinpo-che, and destroyed many religious objects and burnt down many shrines and congregation halls. They demolished the great monastery of Shwa-khog. Many aged monks of Kumbum were also killed by them. In Amdo, in the following year, the Chinese generals Kung and Yo-u then destroyed the temples and grand congregation halls of the Kumbun monastery. In 1725 and 1726 there arose internal dissensions in the Government at Lhasa, the Kahlons or ministers having risen against the Desrid Shang Kiang Chenpo and killed him. About this time, general Phola Theji, who had gone to Upper Tibet, returned to Lhasa with troops from Ladak, Ngahri, and Tsang. He slew upwards of one thousand men who had been drawn from U and Kong-po by the rebel ministers, and for a time restored order in the country. In 1727, Chinese troops came to his help and he was enabled to suppress the rebellion of G by killing the three. On account of his gallant and meritorious services, Phola was invested with the title of Chun-wang and appointed Desrid by Emperor Yung-ting. Henceforth he became known in Tibet by the name Gyalpo Mi-wang. In 1734, by the command of the same Emperor, Chankya Rinpo-che brought back the Dalai Lama hasa from Kahdag, (Kathog) and thereby restored peace and prosperity in Tibet and Kham. Ministers who had headed it. He removed the Dalai Lama to Kahdag, or Kathog monastery in Kham, thinking it would be unsafe to keep him in Lhasa at the time.

[Extra No. Tibet under the Tartar Emperors of China in the 13th Century A.V. — (By Bai Sarat Chandra Das, Bahadur, C.I.E.) The Hierarchy op Sakya. Legendary account. — Once on a time there descended on the pure and lofty tableland of Ngah-ri in Tipper Tibet three brothers called Namlha or heavenly gods. The eldest of them was Namlha Chyiring, the second Namlha Turing, and the youngest Namlha Waseh. These three brothers were entreated by the people of Ngah-ri to take up the sovereignty of their country. The youngest brother, choosing to dwell upon earth, became king and married the reigning chief. The daughter. To him were born four sons, who became known as the four Sijili brothers. They became involved in disputes with the tribe of Dong and the eighteen ancient tribes of Tibet. With the assistance of Namlha Yu-ring, the princes compelled the eighteen tribes to submit to their authority. Namlha Yu-ring also choosing to reside on this earth, married Musa Dembu of the family of Mu, by whom he had seven sons. These were well-known as the Musang brothers. The first six of them, together with their father, are said to have been lifted up to heaven by means of a noose called Muthag or Kyang-thag which had been stretched down by the gods for their delivery. The youngest son married Thog-Cham Oorma, the daughter of Hoichen, the god of thunder and light. His son Thog-tsha Paotag married a princess of the Naga named Tama, who presented him with a son who was brave and handsome. He married Monzah, a princess of the royal family of Mon (Sub-Himalaya). They lived at the limit of vegetation on the slope of a snowy peak of that great mountain and named their son Ya-pang-kye or one born in the higher grass-land. He killed the Srin-mo (demon) named Kya-ring Thagmeh and carried away his beautiful wife Yabum Silema to his mountain house. By her, he had a son who, being born of a woman captured by fight or Khon, was named Khon Barkyeh, born in the mid-region. Hence originated the great family of Khon which played an important part in the medieval history of Tibet. Khon Barkyeh married a Himalayan princess named Tsan-cham Mon. Their son was Kon-jeh, the accomplished one. Being A man of rare intelligence, valour and promise to achieve extraordinary feats, he wanted to rule over a country. His father sent him to Gang-zang-lha. There, observing the eight signs of a good country, he made his residence on the slopes of the lofty Ngan-tse thang mountain. At this time, there reigned in Tibet the mighty king Thi-srong-deu tsan. Early History. — In later times, the family of Khon multiplied in the valley of Shab-chu in Tsang. One of its principal members named Khon Konchog Gyalpo, having received religious instructions and precepts from some learned Lamas, became famous for his learning in Western Tibet. On the occasion of a religious festival which took place at Dob he witnessed a Lama dance. In it, many Lamas who pretended to be very holy, took part. Some of them wore the frightful masks of the twenty-eight goddesses called Wang-chug-ma, and with different weapons in their hands, danced before the assembled people in a fantastic manner. Some Tantrik Lamas, who wore the flowing and clotted locks of the Matrika or Mamo nymphs, also danced to the music of drums and cymbals. Konchog Gyalpo returning home, described what he had seen to his brother, who observed: “Now the time of the degeneration of the Nying-ma mysticism has arrived. Henceforth, in Tibet, none among the Nying-ma Lamas will attain to sainthood. We must now sever our connection with them. Let us, therefore, take care of our paternal possessions, our religious books and symbols. In Mankhar there is a Buddhist sage named Dogmi Lochava. You should go to take religious instructions from him.” He then concealed all his sacred books securely underneath some rocks in a cavern. Konchog Gyalpo could not find Dogmi at Mankhar, but he met Khyin Lotsava in a cemetery at Yahlung. With him, he studied Buddhist metaphysics. Before he could finish his studies, the Lotsava died, in consequence of which he had to search out Dogmi Lotsava. He presented his teacher with seventeen pony-loads of valuable things including some beads of precious stones, gold, and silver. Having acquired great proficiency in Buddhist metaphysics and in some of the new theories found in the reformed works of Dogmi, he became known as a religious professor. He removed his residence to Yahlung. Erecting a small monastery at Taolung, he also spent a few years there. One day, accompanied by one of his disciples, while he was walking on the top of the hill of Taolung, he saw a fine site for a monastery in front of Ponpoiri hill — a plot of white land with a river flowing by its right. Noticing that it possessed many auspicious signs, he thought that if he built a monastery upon it, it would contribute much to human happiness and welfare. He asked the advice of his friend Jove. This was the first part of the 8th Century A.D. A Tibetan Sanskritist was called Lochava or Lotsd-va from locha to speak. 96 Sarat Ck. Das Tibet under the Tartar Emperors of China. [Extra No, Dong-nag, who approved of the proposal. He purchased the land by making present of a white mare, one coat of mail, a string of beads of precious stones and a buckler to the owner. In the 40th year of his age, Lama Konckag Gyalpo founded a monastery on the plain of Sakya (A.D. 1073), which in the 13th century became the capital of Tibet and also the chief seat of the Sakyapa hierarchs. Conquest of Tibet by the Tartars. The Tartar Ckingkis (Jengish Khan) made the conquest of the whole of Tibet in the year 1203, about which time Bekar and Bengali were seized by the Mahomedans under Baktyar Kkiliji. After firmly establishing his authority first in China and then in Tibet, he ordered a general census to be taken of the latter country, but before the work could be taken up by his generals in Tibet, he died. His grandson E-chan Gotan, to whose share fell both Tibet and China, hearing the fame of the Pandit hierarch of Sakya named Kungah Gyal-tskan, invited him to China and received him in audience at his palace of Tulpai De. Thus the learned Buddhist Hierarch of Tibet gained the opportunity to implant in the mind of the dreaded monarch the doctrine of Buddha — to have compassion over all living beings and to effect one’s own salvation by loving others. The humanizing influence of Buddhism touched the minds of the cruel and bloodthirsty Mongols. They now perceived that brute force did not make them superier to the Lamas who believed in the existence of a thing like love which conquered all. So the hierarch, in turn; quietly effected the spiritual conquest of the heartless Tartars. After his Return to Tibet Kungah Gyal-tshan appointed pakya Zangpo as Pon-chen (chief governor) of Tibet proper. Kungah Gyal-tsan, better known as Sakya Panchen (Pant and chen, great), was so well impressed with the honesty and righteousness of his governor that he ordered all the Lamas with the exception of Huyupa and Sharpa Yea Chung to make salvation to him. On the death of E-chan Gotan Khan, Khublai Khan (the miraculous king) became Emperor of China. He removed his residence to Peking and built the Tartar city called Khanbalik, i.e., the city of the great Khan. Shortly, after this, he ordered one of his generals named Tamen to proceed to Tibet to arrange for its better government. When Tamen came to take leave of him, the Emperor addressed him in the following terms: — “The Tibetans are a powerful nation. In ancient times, when there was a monarchial form of government in that country, the Tibetan armies had invaded China several times. Daring the reign of Emperor Thaijung (Tai tsung) of the Tang dynasty, the Tibetans advanced as far as Utai Shan in Shenzi, and at the command of their general Pa-tan hu, all as one man carried out. His orders. Since Chinghis Khan's conquest of it, there has been no king in Tibet. The grand Lama of Sakya are appointed by us. They are our spiritual instructors. Gro, therefore, at once to Sakya and by the exercise of your diplomatic tact bring all Tibet fully under our rule. To this gracious command, Tamen with profound veneration replied: — “Your. Majesty, in obedience to the wish of the son of heaven, this servant will proceed to Tibet. The people of the country called Sifan (Western country, i.e., Tibet) being brave and wild are not amenable either to their own laws or to the laws of China. Our frontier guards fail to restrain them from their predatory habits. How will your Majesty’s servant proceed to Tibet to subdue them, and what arrangements about the expenses of his mission will be permitted? The Emperor commanded that he should proceed on his mission and take the necessary funds and articles for presents from the imperial treasury. Arrived at Sakya, he should make division of the country into large and smaller Jam (district) for administrative purposes, apportioning lands to each Jam with due regard to their extent and nature, i.e., according to the sparseness or density of the population in them. Furnished with credentials from the Emperor and carrying with him suitable presents for the clergy and the laity, Tamen proceeded to Tibet with a large armed escort and a number of survey officers arrived at Sakya he read the edict of the Emperor before a large number of people assembled for the purpose. He sent the survey officers to the different provinces of the country for reconnoitering. On their report he divided the country lying between Sakya and the Chinese frontier into 27 districts or Jam. Doh-meh or lower Dob, where the land was fertile was divided into seven Jam; Doh-toi (upper Doh) into nine Jam; and "O" and Tsang into eleven Jam, of which seven, viz., Sakya, Sog, Tsi-mar, Shag, Sha-pho, Kong and Gronsar, were apportioned to Tsang, and four, viz., Tog, Tshong-dui, Darluug and Thom Darang, to U. A Jampon or district officer was appointed over each Jam. He apportioned these jam to the thirteen provinces or TJiiJeor into which Tibet was then divided, appointing a Thipon or provincial governor over every one of them. He proclaimed all over Tibet the suzerainty of the great Khan or Emperor of China. After making himself fully acquainted with the customs, manners, laws and requirements of Tibet, Tamen returned to China. The Emperor loaded him with honors and rewards, and in recognition of his merits appointed him J. i 13 Sarat Ch. Das — Tibet under the Tartar Emperors of China. [Extra No. President of the grand Yamen of “Sinking Wen.” In order to supervise the administration of the country now parcelled out into 27 years, and to preserve the imperial supremacy of the country, the Emperor appointed one of his Tartar nobles, named Hilig, as Resident of Tibet, and conferred on him the Tartar distinction of Thon-ji. He was the first minister who was sent by a Chinese Emperor to watch the state affairs of Tibet under the grand hierarchy of Sakya. Henceforth, the connection between the two countries (Tibet and China) becoming closer; free and easy intercourse, both commercial and political, made the Tibetan people happy and prosperous. After starting Thon-ji, Hilig on his mission to Tibet, the Emperor himself led a large army to Jang-yul. No resistance was offered by the people of that country to his victorious army. He annexed two provinces of Amdok to China, and made over two provinces of Upper Dok (modern Kk). In the tenth year of Emperor Khublai's reign, Lama Pkagpa took the high priest of Sakya, the high priest of Sakya, who was appointed spiritual instructor of the Imperial family. As a reward for this service, the Emperor made a grant of the following districts to Lama Pkagpa: Gacha Rab-kha, Nangso Latog-pa, Gangaitsa, Lama Khar, and Dan Khang. The jam of Gong, which remained apart from U and Tsang, was also assigned to him. These are said to have contained very fertile soil, a hilly (Tibetan acre) of which was able to grow 5,000 acres of barley. Lama Pkagpa paid three visits to China, and was every time received with the highest reverence by the Emperor at his grand palace of Taitu. The Emperor, Empress, and the princes received religious blessings according to the cult of the Sakyapa school of Buddhism. On the second occasion, the thirteen Thikor of Tibet were presented to the hierarch by the Emperor for the service of the Lamaic Church. On the third occasion, it is stated, that all Tibet, which was anciently divided into three schools, was presented to the church. This included the Kokonur country and Amdoh. About 10 lbs. After the survey, Dsongkha Jong, inclusive of Ngah-ri, Lo Jong and Dol Jong, was constituted into one Thikor. Northern and Southern Latoi-cha and Shalu comprised four Thikor; Da, Ber, and Khyung formed one Thikor; Yamdok and Tshalpa formed one Thikor, Gya, Di-khung, Yah, and Phagmodu comprised four Thikor. Or; lastly, Jah-yul with 1,000 hordu, Duka-pa with 900 hordu, formed one Thikor. These were the thirteen Thikor of Tibet in the 13th Century. Very probably one-sixth of the revenue of the thirteen Thikor (which was the king’s due) was granted to Lama Phagpa for the service of Church and the support of the monasteries. Formerly, Tibet Proper and Greater Tibet, which is now called Ulterior Tibet, was the grand hierarch, of Sakya. Such liberality on the part of a monarch was unexampled in the world’s history. The Emperor not only assigned the revenue of the whole country for the service of the Church but also kept its government under his direct control for ensuring peace and prosperity to the Land of the Lamas. In the beginning of the year, earth-dragged two Commissioners, named Akon and Mingling were deputed by the Emperor to make an official enumeration of the people of Tibet. They, with the help of Ponchen fakya Zangpo, the chief Governor of Tibet, who was invested with the decorations and title of Zam-du-gun Wen-hu for his eminent services, took the first census of Tibet. They enumerated all the families residing in the provinces from Ngah-ri to Shalu in Tsang, and Governor Situ Akyi-get worked in the remaining provinces. Upper Tibet, comprising the valleys of the higher Indus and Sutlej, which was divided into three kor or circles and therefore, called Ngah-ri Kar-sum, returned altogether 2,635 families, exclusive of 767 families residing within the territories of the Ngah-ri Kar-sum, who claimed his descent from king Strong-tsan-Gampo. In the southern districts of La-toi Lhopa, there were 1,088 families, while the northern districts, called La-toi, were called La-toi. To change, returned 2,250 families. The total of families in Ngah-ri and Tsang was 15,690, and that of the province of O (Central Tibet), including Kongpo, was 20,763, giving a grand total of 36,453. The population of Yam Dok (lake Palti districts), which was at this time divided into six Leb and estimated at 750 families, was excluded from the above total. So also all the lands held by the different monasteries were not included in the state list which was made for the levying of revenues. A separate enumeration of the families contained in them was made. In Chumig Thikor there were 3,021 families; under Shalu 3,892 families. The Chang-Dok, including lake Teng-ri-nor or Nam-tsho, till then not being included in any of the Thikor, was left out in the Census. Mang-khar and Tien-chen owned 120 families; Tsangpa, 87 families; were included in the three Cholkha. All the countries lying between Gung-thang in Nag-ri and Sog-la Kyavo were included in what was called Choikyi Cholkha i.e.y the division or province of Buddhism. The provinces between Sog-la Kyavo and Machu (Hoangho) headwaters formed the 2nd Cholkha, the place of black-headed men. The countries lying between Machu and Gya Chorten Karpo, the gate of the great wall where there was a white chorten, were included in the third Cholkha, the original home of the horse. Purang, with the mountains of Kangri, formed one hor or circle. Guge with numerous defiles and ragged cliffs, formed one kor. Mang-Yul, with its mountain streams and glaciers formed one kor. Sarat Ch. Das — Tibet under the Tartar HJmperors of China.

Washi-lago returned. 131 families, Gya-mapody contained 50 families, Thang-tsha, 150 families, and Tshong-dui 114 families. Within the division of Geru, including Sakya, Latoi-lho, Kodeh, Do-chung and Yahru, there were 3,630 families. Dangra and Durminyeg contained altogether 30 families. In the province of J: — Under Di-khung monastery there were 3,630 families, consisting of agricultural and pastoral people called pyopa and Dok-pa. Under the Tshal-pa Lamas there were 3,702 families. Phog-modu monastery returned 2,438 families, Yazang-pa contained 3,000 families. Gya-ma-wa and Chim-yul jointly returned 5,850 families. Sam-ye and Chim-yul jointly returned 70 families. In Dob there were 70 families. Gung-Khor-pa and Thang-pa returned 70 families. Under the Lhasa authorities there were 600 families. Rab-tsun-pa returned 90 families and the Duk-pa authorities of Ralung returned 225 families. The Thang-po-che returned 50 families. In the district of Du-gu gang and Kharagpo there were 232 and 88 families respectively. This earliest enumeration of the people of Tibet (XJ and Tsang) made during the first establishment of political relations between China and the grand hierarchs of Sakya, was obtained from A manuscript roll of daphne paper which contained the seal of the first Pon-chen, named Sakya Zangpo, by the author of the book called Gya-poi Kyi Yig-tshang (records of China and Tibet) in the archives of Sakya and preserved in his book. During the reigns of Khublai Khan’s successors, inland and revenue matters, a clear distinction was made between state and church possessions. At the commencement of the reign of Thakwan, the last Emperor of the Yen or Tartar dynasty, Commissioners Thakwan Anugan and Kechogtai Ping-chang were deputed to take a general census of Tibet. They were assisted by Ponclien Shon-nu Wang in his second administration of that country. The enumeration of men and households was made in the following manner: In order to be counted as a hordu — a Tartar family was required to possess the following: 1. A house supported at least by six pillars within its four walls. 2. Land for cultivation comprising an area over which 100 to 1,000,000 of seed-grain could be sown. 1904.] Sarat Oh. Das — Tibet under the Tartar Emperors of China. 3. Husband and wife, together with all the junior brothers who shared with the husband the wife’s bed, two children, and A pair of domestic servants — in all even or more. Cattle — one milch cow, one heifer, a pair of plough bullocks, one he-goat and 12 she-goats, one ram with 12 ewes. These four beads completed the qualifications of a Tibetan family for paying revenue to the state for the lands it held under Government. Such a family was called Hordu, from hor, Tartar nomad and du smoke. From the top-hole of a Tartar tent issued the smoke of cooking which gave the name of hordu to the owner of the tent. Though the term Fyodu signified a Tibetan agriculturist’s house or family, the two words afterwards became mixed up. The word tsa-du a settled family paying revenue, also became mixed up with the other two terms. Fifty such Hordu formed a Tago. Two Tago made a gya-kor (circle of 100 families). Ten gya-kor formed a tong-Jcor (circle of 1,000 families). Ten tong-kor formed one Thikor or Thikhor (a circle of 10,000 families). The population of Tibet proper was originally estimated at a million and three hundred thousand souls, out of which 22,000 belonged to the church. Tibet was originally divided into 13 Thikoron, each Thikor containing circles average 10,000 families or at least 100,000 souls. A Thipon (chief over 10,000) was appointed over every Thikor. Ten Thikor formed one Lu. Ten Lu formed one Shing. Under Emperor Khublai there were eleven such Shing, outside of China, over which he ruled from his capital Taitu (Peking). The three great provinces of Tibet, then designated under the name of Chlokha-sum, did not form even one Shing ; yet, out of courtsey, and because it was the headquarters of Buddhism, the Emperor permitted Tibet to be counted as a Shing. From every full Thikor Government permitted about 1,000 males to be drawn to the church to be monks for whose support one-sixth of the revenue was made a present of to the hierarchs of Sakya. It is also stated that in the year fire-hog, twenty years after the first census, two Commissioners, named Hosha and Oonukhan, were deputed by the great Yamen of Peking to make a more correct enumera¬ tion of the inhabitants of Tibet. Their labours were embodied in a voluminous work called Losal kungah gyan Bin Theng. In the Debtor (official records) compiled by Du-wensha, Shon-nu-gon, and one of the ministers of Sakya, the following accounts occur: — Tibet was divided into districts and sub-districts called Jam-chung (larger district) and Jam-chung (smaller district). The province of Sarat Ch. Das — Tibet under the Tartar Emperors of China. [Extra No. Tsang, together with Ngah-ri, was divided into four Jam-chung. Every Jam-chung was divided among 100 Go, or headmen. Sakya was constituted into a Jam-chung, Shab-khar Ngah-ri, Gyam-ring, and Pong-len, each formed a Jam-chung. The last, i.e., Ponglen, was constituted into what is called Jam-chung, districts for military purpose yielding revenue. The Jam-chung Mansa-rawara was held by the authorities of Purang. Of the 3,892 families of Shalu, 832 were made over to the Chyrog-tshang-pa. 3,060 were included in Tshong-din. So Shalu monastery was made dependent of Tshong-dui authorities. Chyarog tshang was placed under 28 Tago. The Shaug districts which were included in Tag-jam, were placed under eleven Tago. Yamdok was divided into 16 leb. The Jam-chung of Yarsreb was held by the Yamdok authorities. The following yum were formed in "0": 1. Gopeh jam included Diklung, with 3,000 hordu. 2. Dar jam included Chya-yul, with 2,650 hordu. 3. Tshal-pai Retsa contained 450 families. 4. Sog-jam, in addition to its strength of 2,650 Gyamapa (mixed Tibetan and Chinese) families, included Tshalpa Zung khar, and thereby possessed 3,000 families. 5. Tsi-mar jam included Phag-modu with 2,438 hordu, Satag with 500 and Lhasa 600 families. 6. Sha-po jam comprising Tugu ganj, Kharag Dukpa, Tama Thang-pa had 200 families.

Don't get too hyped over fantasy RBs in the slot
Previously on The Narrative...
This week on The Narrative...
I'm not sure if you noticed but there's a weird thing going on with running backs in the NFL. Fewer of them seem to be running the ball. At least that's the impression you get when you start hearing the plans that various offensive coordinators have for their handsier backs. Every so often we get reports of a pass-catching running back being considered for a gig as a slot receiver and Fantasy Twitter starts buzzing.
More snaps!
More opportunity!
More fantasy points!
I'm exaggerating but in the search to find the next great offensive football wrinkle that could lead to big fantasy production, we've turned toward the hybrid running back. And I'm certainly not excluding myself from this narrative. It was just a couple of short years ago that I decided that "hybrid" was the phrase that pays when it came to targeting fantasy running backs.
In plenty of ways, that's still true. As PPR formats gain in popularity, running backs who excel at catching the ball out of the backfield will take on increased value in fantasy drafts. So why wouldn't a back who lines up at a receiver position naturally be the next evolution in fantasy running back technology?
Well, for one .... this.
Running backs lined up in the slot, 2016 data, per NexGenStats
From a sheer volume standpoint, there aren't enough running backs seeing enough snaps at a slot position to really consider them as a game-changing asset. On average, most of these runners are only seeing a couple of snaps from the slot each game. That means you'd have to be one hell of a home run hitter to make a notable fantasy impact.
That's a description that could possibly pertain to Tevin Coleman. After all, he led all rushers with 129 receiving yards from the slot ... on five receptions. That's a darn fine yards per reception average (25.8 to be exact) but it also falls squarely into the category of "small sample size".
So let's find a larger sample size. Let's go back to our friend David Johnson, who seems to be a pretty good example of everything that is right with fantasy running backs nowadays. Johnson caught a total of 11 passes from the slot.
Wait ... 11?
checks numbers again
Yep. Eleven.
If the guy who leads the world in this niche stat isn't even averaging one catch per game from the slot, what are we even doing here?
But what if a running back gets moved full-time to a slot receiver position? It was Andre Ellington's destiny. Until it wasn't. It's also part of what had everyone so fired up about Christian McCaffrey. This video of the rookie putting Luke Kuechly in a blender sent the internet into hysterics.
That was fun. Wouldn't you agree? But as plenty of people have pointed out, a running back lining up in the slot against a linebacker -- even one as good as Kuechly -- is likely going to have an advantage. Will that same advantage remain when lining up against defensive backs?
Here's where we play "what do we really know?" in an effort to evaluate what could be. It's a murky world we're entering. Grab some boots and a flashlight.
The evaluation of running backs as pass-catchers frequently isn't much more than a critique of how good their hands are. If having good hands were the only prerequisite to being a quality receiver, Golden Tate might be a top 20 fantasy pick.
If we hear about an actual WIDE RECEIVER working on his route running skills every season, shouldn't we expect that players who aren't receivers by trade to have some of the same route running issues? There will undoubtedly be running backs who have (or can acquire) this skill but will it be a large enough group to actually make #RBsInTheSlot a thing?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies’ Second Anniversary
1. I found Beneath Ceaseless Skies only a few months ago, in one of my searches for a home for a particular short story I’ve written. It was rejected, but I now regularly visit the e-zine for something to read. The stories they publish “feel” how I want mine to feel, though I’m evidently not there yet. 🙂
I’ve never yet been disappointed by one of their published short stories.
2. Beneath Ceaseless Skies seems like an awesome short fiction magazine. Im trying to get my short stories accepted into a sci-fi magazine. Can you recommend the best sci-fi short fiction magazines for me? I would greatly appreciate it.
3. Carradde: definitely a great market, I agree.
Benjamine: I’d recommend Asimov’s, Analog, F&SF, and the online markets such as Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, Lightspeed, Apex Magazine, IGMS… You can check out for a more complete list (the classic tactic is to start at the top, ie the largest payrates) and then work your way down.
4. Thank you so much Aliette. Great advice! Back to writing!

Sibal fumes at states for going slow on IITs
Sibal calls meeting of state representatives and IIT directors and asks them to expediate process immediately.
Human resource development minister Kapil Sibal on Monday read the riot act to the state governments concerned over inordinate delays in setting up campuses for the new IITs at Gandhinagar, Jodhpur, Indore, Mandi and Ranchi.
Sibal made it clear that the land acquisition problems plaguing the new institutes will have to be sorted out immediately.
The IITs set up in 2008-09 do not have their own campuses yet and are functioning out of the campuses of the mentor IITs - the existing ones.
Sibal summoned the state government representatives and the IIT directors to intimate them about the new deadlines which have to be adhered to. The minister was reportedly upset with the Jharkhand government for skipping the meeting.
The Rajasthan government tried to make amends by promising to hand over the land as well as to supply electricity by December 23 to IIT Rajasthan.
It has also assured the minister that it will arrange for transport services to the new institute. The minister who wanted to expedite the work on the new campuses ensured that not just the state governments, but also the IIT directors and the representatives of central ministry concerned were present.
"Having an IIT is a matter of prestige for any state. The states concerned were the ones to demand the IITs in the first place. So it is appalling that the states failed to provide land despite assurances that they would do so," Sibal told the state governments.
The Gujarat government assured it would change the existing land lease for the new IIT at Gandhinagar from 30 years to 99 years. The agriculture ministry also assured that all clearances will be given since a large portion of the land was agricultural in nature.
The IIT Indore campus, however, has been held up due to environmental clearances as two-thirds of the proposed campus is on forest land. The state government has promised to get clearances and resolve the matter with the environment ministry.
HRD ministry sources said the delay in construction of these new campuses has also led to budgeting-related complications within the ministry itself. A considerable amount of the budget for higher education has been slashed as funds allocated for setting up of these campuses were not utilised.
To ensure that deadlines are adhered to, Sibal instructed his officials to write to all state governments concerned detailing the problems.

Linux system calls implementation
=================================
At a high level system calls are "services" offered by the kernel to
user applications and they resemble library APIs in that they are
described as a function call with a name, parameters and return value.
.. slide:: System Calls as Kernel services
:inline-contents: True

| Kernel |
+---------------------------------------+
However, on a closer look, we can see that system calls are actually
not function calls, but specific assembly instructions (architecture
and kernel specific) that do the following:
.. slide:: System Call Setup
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* setup information to identify the system call and its parameters
* trigger a kernel mode switch
* retrieve the result of the system call
In Linux, system calls are identified by numbers and the parameters
for system calls are machine word sized (32 or 64 bit). There can be a
maximum of 6 system call parameters. Both the system call number and
the parameters are stored in certain registers.
For example, on 32bit x86 architecture, the system call identifier is
stored in the EAX register, while parameters in registers EBX, ECX,
EDX, ESI, EDI, EBP.
.. slide:: Linux system call setup
:inline-contents: False
:level: 2
* System calls are identified by numbers
* The parameters for system calls are machine word sized (32 or 64
bit) and they are limited to a maximum of 6
* Uses registers to store them both (e.g. for 32bit x86: EAX for
system call and EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, EDI, EBP for parameters)
System libraries (e.g. libc) offers functions that implement the
actual system calls in order to make it easier for applications to use
them.
When a user to kernel mode transition occurs, the execution flow is
interrupted and it is transfered to a kernel entry point. This is
similar with how interrupts and exception are handled (in fact on some
architectures this transition happens as a result of an exception).
The system call entry point will save registers (which contains values
from user space, including system call number and system call
parameters) on stack and then it will continue with executing the
system call dispatcher.
.. note:: During the user - kernel mode transition the stack is also
switched from ther user stack to the kernel stack. This is
explained in more details in the interrupts lecture.

The purpose of the system call dispatcher is to verify the system call
number and run the kernel function associated with the system call.
.. slide:: Linux System Call Dispatcher
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
/* Handles int $0x80 */
__visible void do_int80_syscall_32(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
enter_from_user_mode();
local_irq_enable();
do_syscall_32_irqs_on(regs);
}
/* simplified version of the Linux x86 32bit System Call Dispatcher */
static __always_inline void do_syscall_32_irqs_on(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
unsigned int nr = regs->orig_ax;
if (nr < IA32_NR_syscalls)
regs->ax = ia32_sys_call_table[nr](regs->bx, regs->cx,
regs->dx, regs->si,
regs->di, regs->bp);
syscall_return_slowpath(regs);
}
To demonstrate the system call flow we are going to use the virtual
machine setup, attach gdb to a running kernel, add a breakpoint to the
dup2 system call and inspect the state.

.. asciicast:: syscalls-inspection.cast
In summary, this is what happens during a system call:
.. slide:: System Call Flow Summary
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* The application is setting up the system call number and
parameters and it issues a trap instruction
* The execution mode switches from user to kernel; the CPU switches
to a kernel stack; the user stack and the return address to user
space is saved on the kernel stack
* The kernel entry point saves registers on the kernel stack
* The system call dispatcher identifies the system call function
and runs it
* The user space registers are restored and execution is switched
back to user (e.g. calling IRET)
* The user space application resumes
System call table
-----------------
The system call table is what the system call dispatcher uses to map
system call numbers to kernel functions:
.. slide:: System Call Table
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
#define __SYSCALL_I386(nr, sym, qual) [nr] = sym,
const sys_call_ptr_t ia32_sys_call_table[] = {
[0 ... __NR_syscall_compat_max] = &sys_ni_syscall,
#include <asm/syscalls_32.h>
};
.. code-block:: c
__SYSCALL_I386(0, sys_restart_syscall, )
__SYSCALL_I386(1, sys_exit, )
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
__SYSCALL_I386(2, sys_fork, )
#else
__SYSCALL_I386(2, sys_fork, )
#endif
__SYSCALL_I386(3, sys_read, )
__SYSCALL_I386(4, sys_write, )
System call parameters handling
-------------------------------
Handling system call parameters is tricky. Since these values are
setup by user space, the kernel can not assume correctness and must
always verify them throughly.
Pointers have a few important special cases that must be checked:
.. slide:: System Calls Pointer Parameters
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* Never allow pointers to kernel-space
* Check for invalid pointers
Since system calls are executed in kernel mode, they have access to
kernel space and if pointers are not properly checked user
applications might get read or write access to kernel space.
For example, lets consider the case where such a check is not made for
the read or write system calls. If the user passes a kernel-space
pointer to a write system call then it can get access to kernel data
by later reading the file. If it passes a kernel-space pointer to a
read system call then it can corrupt kernel memory.
.. slide:: Pointers to Kernel Space
:level: 2
* User access to kernel data if allowed in a write system call
* User corrupting kernel data if allowed in a read system call
Likewise, if a pointer passed by the application is invalid
(e.g. unmapped, read-only for cases where it is used for writing), it
could "crash" the kernel. There two approaches that could be used:
.. slide:: Invalid pointers handling approaches
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* Check the pointer against the user address space before using it,
or
* Avoid checking the pointer and rely on the MMU to detect when the
pointer is invalid and use the page fault handler to determine
that the pointer was invalid
Although it sounds tempting, the second approach is not that easy to
implement. The page fault handler uses the fault address (the address
that was accessed), the faulting address (the address of the
instruction that did the access) and information from the user address
space to determine the cause:
.. slide:: Page fault handling
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* Copy on write, demand paging, swapping: both the fault and
faulting addresses are in user space; the fault address is
valid (checked against the user address space)
* Invalid pointer used in system call: the faulting address is
in kernel space; the fault address is in user space and it is
invalid
* Kernel bug (kernel accesses invalid pointer): same as above
But in the last two cases we don't have enough information to
determine the cause of the fault.
In order to solve this issue Linux uses special APIs (e.g
:c:func:`copy_to_user`) to accesses user space that are specially
crafted:
.. slide:: Marking kernel code that accesses user space
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* The exact instructions that access user space are recorded in a
table (exception table)
* When a page fault occurs the faulting address is checked against
this table
Although the fault handling case may be more costly overall depending
on the address space vs exception table size, and it is more complex,
it is optimized for the common case and that is why it is preferred
and used in Linux.
.. slide:: Cost analysis for pointer checks vs fault handling
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
+------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+
| Cost | Pointer checks | Fault handling |
+==================+=======================+========================+
| Valid address | address space search | negligible |
+------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+
| Invalid address | address space search | exception table search |
+------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+
Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO)
====================================
The VDSO mechanism was born out of the necessity of optimizing the
system call implementation, in a way that does not impact libc with
having to track the CPU capabilities in conjunction with the kernel
version.
For example: x86 has two ways of issuing system calls: int 0x80 and
sysenter. The later is significantly faster so it should be used when
available. However, it is only available for processors newer than
Pentium II and only for kernel versions greater than 2.6.
With VDSO the system call interface is decided by the kernel:
.. slide:: Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO)
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* a stream of instructions to issue the system call is generated by
the kernel in a special memory area (formatted as an ELF shared
object)
* that memory area is mapped towards the end of the user address
space
* libc searches for VDSO and if present will use it to issue the
system call
.. slide:: Inspecting VDSO
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
|_|
.. asciicast:: syscalls-vdso.cast
An interesting development of the VDSO are the virtual system calls
(vsyscalls) which run directly from user space. These vsyscalls are
also part of VDSO and they are accessing data from the VDSO page that
is either static or modified by the kernel in a separate read-write
map of the VDSO page. Examples of system calls that can be implemented
as vsyscalls are: getpid or gettimeofday.
.. slide:: Virtual System Calls (vsyscalls)
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
* "System calls" that run directly from user space, part of the VDSO
* Static data (e.g. getpid())
* Dynamic data update by the kernel a in RW map of the VDSO
(e.g. gettimeofday(), time(), )
Accessing user space from system calls
=====================================
As we mentioned earlier, user space must be accessed with special APIs
(:c:func:`get_user`, :c:func:`put_user`, :c:func:`copy_from_user`,
:c:func:`copy_to_user`) that check wether the pointer is in user space
and also handle the fault if the pointer is invalid. In case of invalid
pointers they return a non zero value.
.. slide:: Accessing user space from system calls
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
/* OK: return -EFAULT if user_ptr is invalid */
if (copy_from_user(&kernel_buffer, user_ptr, size))
return -EFAULT;
/* NOK: only works if user_ptr is valid otherwise crashes kernel */
memcpy(&kernel_buffer, user_ptr, size);
Let's examine the simplest API, get_user, as implemented for x86:
.. slide:: get_user implementation
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
#define get_user(x, ptr) \
({ \
int __ret_gu; \
register __inttype(*(ptr)) __val_gu asm("%"_ASM_DX); \
__chk_user_ptr(ptr); \
might_fault(); \
asm volatile("call __get_user_%P4" \
: "=a" (__ret_gu), "=r" (__val_gu), \
ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT \
: "0" (ptr), "i" (sizeof(*(ptr)))); \
(x) = (__force __typeof__(*(ptr))) __val_gu; \
__builtin_expect(__ret_gu, 0); \
})
The implementation uses inline assembly, that allows inserting ASM
sequences in C code and also handles access to / from variables in the
ASM code.
Based on the type size of the x variable, one of __get_user_1,
__get_user_2 or __get_user_4 will be called. Also, before executing
the assembly call, ptr will be moved to the first register EAX while
after the completion of assembly part the value of EAX will be moved
to __ret_gu and the EDX register will be moved to __val_gu.
It is equivalent to the following pseudo code:
.. slide:: get_user pseudo code
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
#define get_user(x, ptr) \
movl ptr, %eax \
call __get_user_1 \
movl %edx, x \
movl %eax, result \
The __get_user_1 implementation for x86 is the following:
.. slide:: get_user_1 implementation
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: none
.text
ENTRY(__get_user_1)
mov PER_CPU_VAR(current_task), %_ASM_DX
cmp TASK_addr_limit(%_ASM_DX),%_ASM_AX
jae bad_get_user
ASM_STAC
1: movzbl (%_ASM_AX),%edx
xor %eax,%eax
ASM_CLAC
ret
ENDPROC(__get_user_1)
bad_get_user:
xor %edx,%edx
mov $(-EFAULT),%_ASM_AX
ASM_CLAC
ret
END(bad_get_user)
_ASM_EXTABLE(1b,bad_get_user)
The first two statements check the pointer (which is stored in EDX)
with the addr_limit field of the current task (process) descriptor to
make sure that we don't have a pointer to kernel space.
Then, SMAP is disabled, to allow access to user from kernel, and the
access to user space is done with the instruction at the 1: label. EAX
is then zeroed to mark success, SMAP is enabled, and the call returns.
The movzbl instruction is the one that does the access to user space
and its address is captured with the 1: label and stored in a special
section:
.. slide:: Exception table entry
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
/* Exception table entry */
# define _ASM_EXTABLE_HANDLE(from, to, handler) \
.pushsection "__ex_table","a" ; \
.balign 4 ; \
.long (from) - . ; \
.long (to) - . ; \
.long (handler) - . ; \
.popsection
# define _ASM_EXTABLE(from, to) \
_ASM_EXTABLE_HANDLE(from, to, ex_handler_default)
For each address that accesses user space we have an entry in the
exception table, that is made up of: the faulting address(from), where
to jump to in case of a fault, and a handler function (that implements
the jump logic). All of these addresses are stored on 32bit in
relative format to the exception table, so that they work for both 32
and 64 bit kernels.
All of the exception table entries are then collected in the
__ex_table section by the linker script:
.. slide:: Exception table building
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
#define EXCEPTION_TABLE(align) \
. = ALIGN(align); \
__ex_table : AT(ADDR(__ex_table) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__start___ex_table) = .; \
KEEP(*(__ex_table)) \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__stop___ex_table) = .; \
}
The section is guarded with __start___ex_table and __stop___ex_table
symbols, so that it is easy to find the data from C code. This table
is accessed by the fault handler:
.. slide:: Exception table handling
:inline-contents: True
:level: 2
.. code-block:: c
bool ex_handler_default(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr)
{
regs->ip = ex_fixup_addr(fixup);

Q:
Add number of hours to date through "variable" in php not statically
I have stored the date and time in database like this 2015-06-31 14:00 And i want to add some hours to the date field through variable how can i add
<?php
//set an date and time to work with
$start = '2015-06-31 14:00';
$hours='05:00';
//display the converted time
echo date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime("+{$hours} hours",strtotime($start)));
?>
A:
Try this
<?php
$start = '2015-10-31 14:00';
$hours = '05:00';
$date = new DateTime($start);
$date->modify(sprintf("+%d hours", $hours));
echo $date->format("Y-m-d H:i");

Let's Talk About Venezuela
Venezuela is going through a crisis right now. There are problems:
• There are shortages of things like toilet paper, chicken, milk, Harina Pan, a corn flour, which is THE staple in Venezuela, cooking oil and pretty much anything imported. Since they have to rely heavily on imports, it is a huge problem.
• The government controls the media. Newspapers and television stations which refused to align with the government were shut down. They not only control the political rhetoric, they control how much of which music radio stations may play. Just this week they took away the cameras and equipment of CNN at gunpoint. They just thought they were being robbed, at first. Since then, CNN has been told they are going to be removed from the air in Venezuela if they do not 'rectify' their coverage. Update: CNN has now been told they can stay, with the threat of being kicked out again.
• The government is controls the internet. They have used this control to block access to websites people use to get news the government doesn't want them to see. They even blocked twitter so people could not use it to get out news. They cut the internet to a town where the protests are huge.
• The government has threatened to stop the delivery of gasoline to areas where protests are happening. They have done this in one city already.
• The government announced today that if you are involved in the peaceful protests called "Marchas" (Marches) your passport will be suspended for five years.
• Jan 22, 2003 the government enacted an exchange control. This means the citizens are not allowed to exchange their currency for foreign currency. It's been in effect now for 11 years. Imagine if you need to import goods to run your little business, or even your family, and you are not allowed to do so because you can not get the currency you need.
• The crime rate is higher than most of us can understand. In this country of nearly 30 million people there were nearly 28,000 murders last year. That's a little over one murder per 1100 people. Per Year. People are so used to being robbed at gunpoint that they hardly seem phased by it.
• Inflation is a beast. It was 56% last year. It's difficult to get a grip on this reality.
• Medications are scarce. So scarce that President Maduro took to twitter recently to announce he had secured enough medication to last approximately four months.
This is where I realize I could do a ton more bullet points and still not even hit all the crucial areas. It is so difficult to understand the how and why, and so simple at the same time.
Don't think it could not happen to us. I believe it could happen anywhere. Pray for Venezuela. It's going to take some kind of miracle to get them out of this mess and back on track. It is economy, safety, and a government which can't control it. They are trying, but they are trying with a heavy hand and oppression. In my opinion, it's not the best way to motivate good people.
1. So many countries are in crisis right now - including the good ole USA! Awareness, prayer and being involved are key elements to changing the corruption... You are right, oppression is never the way to motivate people.
Kingdom Life & Blessings
2. Oh yes, it is already happening here in the USA. I fear for our future. Everyone must prepare or they will be in danger of survival. Sorry for the people of Venezuela. I pray for them.
3. I really had no idea about all of this. I mean, you catch glimpses of the crises going on around the world, but I did not know the severity of Venezuela! Thank you for sharing this information.
4. I'm glad you shared this. I had no idea of it. I do see that it could happen to us.
I'm stopping by from ByB.
5. wow, thanks for sharing this, I had no idea this was happening.
6. It is really scary what is going on there. My husband and his family lived there for 15 years so it is all really close to our hearts. (one family member was just there recently and it is far worse than we can even imagine)
Thanks for posting about it it is really neat to see the awareness social media is bringing and hopefully the prayers that are going along with that awareness.
7. So many people in America complain about the media. Your post brings to perspective how thankful we should be. Thank you for sharing this today. #BB100 | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9824151396751404}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '123960', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:PYVHE6YRZS5IEBCWCG3TLXBDKU3WHKJW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1e0c6e1b-20ac-4f07-a6fd-1d4e8feb671f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 20, 7, 11, 37), 'WARC-IP-Address': '74.125.29.121', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ZS5ELEALBHPPNZP452KSMZVD4334AA65', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8d5eda4b-30e3-4dd4-a4ef-b78b8b4a53eb>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.velezita.com/2014/02/lets-talk-about-venezuela.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:93b03812-bfe6-4a17-928e-7aad7e665eb6>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '788', 'url': 'http://www.velezita.com/2014/02/lets-talk-about-venezuela.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 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': '0.1725761890411377', 'original_id': 'e0673075753a52ca44b023d7480626ceef5320229f8b37e336e96e76030297a1'} |
Anesthetic activity of monoketones in mice: relationship to hydrophobicity and in vivo effects on Na+/K+ -ATPase activity and membrane fluidity.
The in vivo anesthetic activity of monoketones in mice was examined in relation to their hydrophobicity and to the in vivo effects on Na+/K+ -adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+ -ATPase) activity and membrane fluidity. Anesthetic potency (AD50) of monoketones was determined; AD50 implys the dose required to anesthetize 50% of the animals from the treated group. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (P) was used as an index of hydrophobicity. Membrane fluidity was determined by using 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) or 1-(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH as fluorescence probes. Log (1/AD50) was the parabolic function of log P, log ((1/AD50) = -0.167(log P)2 + 0.698 log P - 1.365, and the log P that corresponds to the minimum AD50 was estimated to be 2.09. Brain synaptosomes were prepared from mice that were considered anesthetized with each of the 4 monoketones (1.5-fold AD50), methyl n-propyl, methyl n-amyl, methyl 3-methylhexyl and methyl n-octyl ketone. The Na+/K+ -ATPase activity was inhibited by methyl n-propyl ketone alone, membrane DPH fluidity was decreased by each of the 4 monoketones, and membrane TMA-DPH fluidity was decreased by methyl n-propylketone alone. These results suggest an involvement of the decreased DPH fluidity in monoketone-induced anesthesia. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '58ad5d642482d176f9b229d79a444e89aec0cec9b502c8d34c1516a731c9679a'} |

Here's how it works:

2. Anybody can answer
I'm trying to get a sense if this is an issue for others or every input/output should be labeled so user is not confused and just go with it?
I think almost everyone pronounces it as "LatLon". Who started it? Is it because it's in alphabetical order compared to "LonLat"?
Mapping Lat and Lon to Cartesian plane Lon is "x" and Lat is "y" so since we say "(x,y)" it should be said as "LonLat". And now for display of information. Should the status bar on a mapping application display La,Lo or Lo,Lat? Should it just be labeled as one way and let user deal with it? And same with input, what's the right way to order the fields?
KML's format is Lon,Lat,Altitude. While other apps is Lat,Lon and so have to be very vigilant about when converting formats.
Is there a standard?
[this might be a wiki question since I don't really expect to have a right answer, but maybe get a consensus of best practices or a discussion going]

Well personally, I do say Lat/Lon but I always enter X/Y. When I am working with data and receiving it from clients or scraping it off of websites, probably about 90% of the time I get X/Y. – Tac194 Feb 10 '11 at 19:38

You should take a look at the ISO standard 6709. Here's the wikipedia entry: ISO 6709
The main item is that order should always be latitude longitude.
[edit now that I have a copy of 6709:2008]
For data interchange, use DD, but for backwards compatibility, sexagesimal is valid.
There's a section called "Latitude and longitude coordinates are not unique" complete with picture.
There is very strong wording about the coordinate order for display (not interchange). It says that navigators have traditionally used latitude longitude order and to change the order could compromise safety. Use sexagesimal, direction symbols rather than +/-, etc. Z values follow longitude. Grid/planar values should use the order specified in the CRS definition.
34°05'09.76"N 117°02'01.23"W 829.1m
(Hah! I started to write out a sample and automatically wrote the longitude value first)

That doesn't mean that the standard is the best. My students get confused with the mix of lat/long...then you introduce easting and northing...then x/y. I would favour that one stick with the mathematical representation of coordinates, whether spherical or planar, x/y, easting/northing, long/lat...perhaps a movement could be afoot – Dan Patterson Feb 11 '11 at 1:31
Melita -- you are spot-on that ISO 6709 IS the standard. But the ISO 6709:2008 revision "...additionally specifies representation of horizontal point location using coordinate types other than latitude and longitude." Could you please expand on those aspects of the standard for folks. – V Stuart Foote Feb 11 '11 at 17:48
@Stuart, unfortunately I don't have access to the 2008 revision, and don't fancy paying 122 euros for the privilege! Someone here might have it; I'll see if I can find a copy. There's still copyright issues on how much I can post. – mkennedy Feb 11 '11 at 21:13
@Dan, oh, I agree completely, but the movement had taken place, and ended up getting revised to the current latitude, THEN longitude. On x,y: unfortunately, not everyone equates x = easting, y = northing! Esri has several enhancement requests to support changing the labels for axes, swapping order, etc. – mkennedy Feb 11 '11 at 21:17
@Stuart, I edited my answer to include some information from the standard. – mkennedy Feb 11 '11 at 23:24
Representing a position on a globe requires not two, but three values, which on earth are generally represented by (latitude, longitude, elevation). Computers generally work in Cartesian spaces, as do our paper maps, which are easier to understand as (x,y) coordinates, hence the conflict.
The ordering followed some historical convention for spherical coordinates, which map onto geographic coordinates as follows:
geographic spherical symbol
longitude azimuth φ
latitude inclination θ
elevation radius r
The common ordering of (r, θ, φ) (an ISO standard in the physics community, though not not settled elsewhere) simplifies to (θ, φ) when you assume we're working on a unit sphere, and hence (latitude, longitude).
Because a GIS is implemented in an environment which uses cartesian coordinates are used throughout the rest of the system, we're left with a bit of a conflict. I think the key issue is to be clear what you're using, and stick to it.
I personally prefer the Cartesian units because of their commonality elsewhere, and while the academic connections to spherical coordinates aren't to be forgotten, it isn't the pragmatic choice when implementing new systems. The (x, y) form is used internally in most spatial file formats such as WKT, Shapefiles, GeoJSON and the like -- but if you're presenting data to a lay audience, then what's right depends on what's easiest for them to understand.

(+1) There is, however, a convention for orienting coordinate systems. According to this convention, for example, (x,y) is positive while (y,x) is negative. On the sphere, (lat,lon) is negative while (lon,lat) is positive (taking western longitudes and southern latitudes to be negative numbers, which seems to be universal). Therefore, if you want to use a consistent orientation for coordinate systems, you will use (easting, northing) on your maps and (lon, lat) on the sphere. – whuber Jun 29 '11 at 23:13
The previous two answers already cover the history, here's just my two cents about standards:
For the purpose of data exchange, the order of coordinates is determined by the choice of CRS, as promoted by OGC in their Axis Order Policy Guidance Note.
If you look closely, any EPSG CRS specifies the order of the axes, which should be respected in any payload marked to use the CRS. For example, anything that publishes data in epsg:4326 (WGS 84 geographic 2D) should have coordinates expressed as (lat, lon). You can check the EPSG registry yourself (search for code 4326 and look under Ellipsoidal CS / Axes).
Another widely used way of specifying CRS is the Projection WKT (section 7; also available here), which also prescribes the order. For example
The AXIS parameters are optional however, and the defaults, according to this specification, are
this makes the whole issue quite confusing, because it means that a lot of the .prj files out there referencing epsg:4326 (e.g. the one on which do not explicitly specify the same axis order as EPSG, but nevertheless reference the EPSG code, are in conflict with the OGC guidance note.
share|improve this answer
I don't believe that the specifications are dictating storage order. They are dictating interchange/display order. It's a bit like quantum physics. You can't (don't need to) know what's happening until you observe the phenomenon. Agree on the wkt format. Esri has added support for axes order when working with servers, but not in the general software. – mkennedy Sep 13 '11 at 21:44
@mkennedy you're technically correct. In a shapefile, you could have any order you like. But as soon as you send that shapefile to someone and describe it as epsg:4326, you should make sure that the order is (lat, lon). I removed 'store' from the answer to make it more clear that the standard is about publishing data. – mkadunc Sep 13 '11 at 22:44

HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This rule offers Federal protections for a person’s personal health information whether it’s physical or mental. HIPAA gives the patient rights over their own health information and ensures that all health information is safe and secure. All covered entities must follow this law including: health plans, health care providers (including mental health), and health care clearing houses. Some administrations may have health information about a person but are not required to follow the HIPAA laws. Schools, life insurers, employers, and law enforcement agencies including Child Protective Services are some examples. In chemical dependency, CPS is often involved, especially when the patients provide direct care for their children. If there is any situation in which the welfare of a child is being questioned CPS will have direct access to records. Otherwise, electronic reports, billing information, conversations, and medical records are all information that is protected by covered entities. Covered entities protect this information by limiting use, creating contracts, and having procedures in place including employee trainings. The HIPAA rule gives the patient rights over their health information and it is the patient’s responsibility to learn those rights. Some information about the patient’s rights can be found here: The HIPAA law does provide some availability at who can look at patient’s records. For example, information can be shared with other professionals to pay a doctor or to protect the public’s health by reporting an outbreak of a virus.
The HIPAA privacy does at times permit covered entities to disclose health information without the patient’s consent. If there is a public health emergency or a bioterrorism threat in which a public health official can help prevent or lessen the threat then it is required by law that the official release the information to law enforcement. However, the HIPAA rule does not require a medical professional to send documents to the government for database purposes. Law enforcement officials may only receive health information if the information is asked for by a specific written request, court order, or grand jury subpoena. If a state agency is a covered entity then they must adhere to the HIPAA privacy law. If a state agency is not a covered entity then they are not required to comply with the HIPAA rule.
Administrators play a big role in enforcing the HIPAA rules throughout their entity. Administrators are responsible for creating policies and procedures that adhere to HIPAA. There must be a designated person that is in charge of creating these policies, receiving complaints, and must also be the main contact in regards to this rule. A covered entity must train all workforce employees and management and also be able to mitigate. A covered entity must have some sort of data safeguard. This would include locking up client records, not allowing client records to be taken out of the office for any reason other than when required by law, protecting a client’s name on any documentation, and shredding paper. A clients documents pertaining to the privacy rules must be maintained for 6 years. If a complaint is being pursued a covered entity may not in any way retaliate against the patient which includes waiving rights, payments, or benefits to the patient.
HIPAA is a very complex rule that involves a lot of education and understanding to be able to exercise properly. It can be especially complicated when it comes to chemical dependency as the counseling sessions naturally involve a lot of legal and ethical issues that will arise. It is vital for all health professionals and patients to understand the laws regarding this rule. A health care professional must also stay up to date on federal and state laws regarding confidentiality. It is important for all healthcare professionals to adhere to the HIPAA rules to not only protect the patient’s confidentiality but to protect themselves and the covered entity that they are working for.

This is what a $45K Thanksgiving buys...
Thanksgiving at one New York steakhouse is known for something besides simply giving thanks: extreme decadence.
This holiday, Old Homestead Steakhouse is going bigger than ever by offering a $45,000 meal, topping last year's meal by a whopping $10,000.
So, what do buyers get for the stratospheric price tag?

The night includes a lavish seven-course meal intended to feed a group of eight. On the menu are a roasted, free-range, organic turkey clocking in at $75 per pound; gravy made with $4,900 per bottle Pappy Van Winkle bourbon; whipped sweet potatoes with $1,600 per ounce Royal Ossetra caviar; two Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tickets; a $7,500 Black Friday shopping spree at Bergdorf Goodman; and a two-night stay at the Waldorf.
The extravagant meal also comes with a two-carat diamond engagement ring to pop the question, making the $45,000 price tag slightly more affordable considering buyers will be knocking out a major life event on top of the holiday celebration for the price of one over-the-top night. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9118502736091614}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '114284', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3G5EWFTFTE7EN4VOJTWEQZ3VSXJSNHED', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ee012b76-579e-458f-bbd4-fa1adbacb6ef>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 3, 46, 36), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.50.137.42', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GF5WIFAVLBSIGLYTLWTMUIOETIQBWMSI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c0a520e5-4976-4679-9098-afd14e2fe68e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/19/this-is-what-a-45k-thanksgiving-buys.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:38ea816c-70fe-45ab-8b76-85149d19ddc8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '172', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/19/this-is-what-a-45k-thanksgiving-buys.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-157-187-24.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02362370491027832', 'original_id': '4cb53b38ba4bd746f93df4abacca42ff1a65bca6403555baf943fdd1aeaba7ca'} |

NDE: Juliet Nightingale: Toward The Light Radio Show
The Rev. Juliet Nightingale, a multiple NDEr, hosted a groundbreaking programme, TowardThe Light, on www.BBSRadio.com from March 6, 2006 – January 25, 2009 focusing primarily on the Nature of Consciousness and Life Continuum as revealed through Near-Death and similar Spiritually Transformative Experiences. The programme archives feature a stellar roster of special guests who are both experiencers and researchers in the realm of NDEs and related topics.
Some of the show topics include:
• What Every Individual and Caregiver Should Know About The Dying Process
Nightingale covered new ground, discussing topics that up until recently have been nearly taboo. Audiences leave with the tools necessary for change, with information relative to their own lives, on both personal and professional levels. With compassion and the utmost respect for various religious beliefs, Nightingale inspires her audiences to go out into the world and make a difference.
Nightingale was a facilitator, speaker, teacher, clairvoyant, medium, life coach, and Reiki practitioner who was available for public and private speaking engagements (as well as for the above-mentioned services). She also conducted seminars covering a wide range of topics. From England, her accent immediately draws people in. And although a bit shy and reserved, with her ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ style, Nightingale holds her audiences spellbound, then engages the audience in colourful dialogue.
Here is a comment on the potential impact of this programme from Rev Dick Dinges of the Virginia Beach IANDS local group:
“Learning about near-death experience changes ideas. Ideas will change feelings. Changed feelings will change actions. Changed actions will demonstrate that personal spiritual transformation has taken place, and will affect other persons for spiritual transformation. I applaud the beginning of a regular radio program on NDE because it’s what the world needs now.”
The Near-Death Experience (NDE) — of which I’ve had a few — mainly occurred at a time when NDEs were rarely documented, much less talked about. It was something I could only share with certain individuals, who were already spiritually aware, open-minded…or, at least, receptive.
Yet, it still happened that, on occasion, one would accuse me of having had a hallucination, or being in need of ‘psychiatric evaluation’, because ignorance was still so prevalent at that time. The good news is that, in recent years, the NDE has not only been talked about, it has also been documented and has received widespread media interest — both in broadcast and print media. A good example of this is my having seen articles in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia in recent past…including a column in which I appeared. Scientists, physicians, psychologists, ministers, mystics and others, have all congregated together to obtain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of the NDE. It is something that many people — such as myself — have been through; and we have been called back to teach and to share our experiences with others. By all rights, one might wonder why so many of us have been brought back…while others remain on the Other Side. This is mainly due to the fact that we were needed to fulfil and complete something significant in our own lives…as well as to honour a special mission to help humanity finally come to the realisation that there is indeed no death. We simply ‘move on’ and continue to evolve in our journey back toward the Light.
Since people are always inquiring, “What happened?” and “What’s it like?” I will try to convey what happened to me that led to one of my NDEs…as well as what I experienced from the Other Side. Please excuse me if this doesn’t fit into a tidy chronological sequence, as there is no such thing as linear time on the Other Side. Everything is always experienced in the now — including past and future.
Herein, I will attempt to explain and recapture my experiences on the Other Side and how it effected me. I will humbly attempt to grasp the proper words for describing this most lofty experience that had a profound impact on me…and has changed my life forever.
……..
The Experience
In the mid-70’s, I was dealing with a terminal disease, colon cancer, where my life was ebbing away. I was bedridden for the most part, but could sometimes manage to sit up for short periods. Being the contemplative that I was, I was always listening and observing — taking things in and trying to understand the deeper wisdom behind what was happening to me and where all of this was leading. As a result, I became more withdrawn and detached…as I observed everything round me starting to change. Solid matter became more translucent and fluid-like; colours became more vivid and vibrant; sound was more clear and acute…and so on. I could no longer comprehend anything printed on a page, because it no longer meant anything to me in my changed state of consciousness. It was like trying to read and understand a foreign language! I had already departed from the third-dimensional realm for the most part…and my awareness enveloped other things.
I was entering into what I later came to refer to as the ‘twilight’ stage. In this state, everything was altered. I got to a point where my consciousness was already making the transition from one realm to the other—being more aware of other realities on other dimensions. I was seeing and perceiving things and other beings inter-dimensionally — even though I was still somewhat conscious on the physical plane. I’ve, since, realised that this is what a lot of dying people go through…(such as those in hospitals, nursing homes or others in hospice care), while an observer might think that they’re hallucinating or seeing someone or something that ‘isn’t really there’. In truth, this is a state where one, such as myself, is experiencing other dimensions simultaneously while still on the physical plane, because, in reality, we are multidimensional beings
I finally lapsed into a coma on Boxing Day, 26 December, and, ironically, declared ‘dead’ on my birthday, 2 February! (Now I’ve got two natal charts!) As others observed that I was in a coma — which lasted over five weeks — I was having a completely different experience! One would look at my body and think that I was unconscious…asleep…with no awareness of what was going on…or anything. Yet, I was very conscious and profoundly aware, because, in truth, we never really sleep; only our bodies do. We are always aware…and active…on one level of consciousness or another. Just the fact that we dream while asleep is an indication of our consciousness always being active. And, indeed, our bodies need to rest, so that we can tap into…and experience other aspects of our consciousness and being!
The best way I can describe the transition from being ‘alive’ on the physical plane and the passage to the Other Side is like passing from one ‘room’ to another. You do not cease to be or lose consciousness; your consciousness simply shifts from one vantage point to another. The experience changes; your outlook changes; your feelings change. And the feelings I experienced were profound. For me, it most certainly became that peace that surpasses all understanding…
My transition was gradual as a result of having a terminal disease — as opposed to a sudden one incurred from accidents, heart attacks, etc. I became aware of a ‘Being of Light’ enveloping me. Everything was stunningly beautiful — so vibrant and luminous…and so full of life — yes, life! –in ways that one would never see or experience on the physical plane. I was totally and completely enveloped in divine Love. It was unconditional love…in the truest sense of the word. I was in constant communion with this Light and always aware of its loving presence with me at all times. Consequently, there was no sense of fear whatsoever…and I was never alone. This was a special opportunity to experience being at one with the ALL — never separate…and never at a loss.
The colours were so beautiful — watching the Light whirl all round me, pulsating and dancing…making whooshing sounds…and being ever so playful at times…then very serious at other times. Many things would take on a luminous glow — a sort of soft peach colour. Everything was so vibrant — even when I saw deep space! I was constantly in a state of awe… There were always beautiful beings round me as well–helping me…guiding me…reassuring me…and also pouring love into me. I was never alone.
One of the first things I remember experiencing was the life review — which included everything that I’d experienced in my physical incarnation up to that point. It was like being at the cinema — watching a movie of my life and everything happening simultaneously. I think most NDErs will agree that, the life review is one of the most difficult aspects of the NDE. Viewing your entire life before you — with every thought, word, action, etc. — can be most unsettling, indeed. Yet, what happened was the fact that no one passed judgement on me! I only felt the constant enveloping of divine love from the Being of Light that was always with me. What I came to realise, then, is that we judge ourselves! There was no ‘he-god’ sitting on some throne, passing judgement on me, (not that I even expected to see such a being in the first place). I never subscribed to such religious myths anyway. I seemed to be the only one who was uncomfortable and most critical of myself. Yet, having stated that, I also realised that I wasn’t coming from a vantagepoint of the ‘ego self’ but, rather, from my soul self that was much more detached and having no feelings of being emotionally charged, etc. I was no longer identifying with the personality of the physical self. Therefore, what I felt was very different — coming from a completely different perspective as the soul self — my True Identity.
Even though I was no longer in my physical body, I did have form — a body of sorts. The best way I can describe this is that I felt like a bubble — floating and moving about effortlessly — sometimes very fast…or gently drifting about. I felt hollow inside and so clear — even having a sensation of a breeze blowing inside of me. There was never any sense of hunger, thirst, weariness or pain. Such things never entered my mind, in fact! Alas, I was pure consciousness, embodied in a light and ethereal form, travelling about…or being still and observing intently…and always in a state of awe. It was such a glorious sensation where I experienced such calm and a profound sense of peace and constant trust. I also experienced no blindness, (as I do with my physical eyes being legally blind), and what a sense of awe and wonder — to be able to see!
At one point, I perceived myself as being on a guided tour, as it were — visiting and observing different places, beings and situations — some very pleasant and some very painful. The best way I can describe this ‘tour’ was like being in a circular enclosure of windows — each pane revealing something different…but when I’d focus on one particular pane, I’d suddenly see the pane become full size (much like a ‘window’ on your computer monitor becoming full screen) and I stood still — just watching…
One pane revealed a scene that one might interpret as a ‘hell’ or ‘purgatory’ where faceless, grey coloured entities moved about aimlessly and moaned. They were clearly suffering and in great agony and anguish. I saw these souls as damaged souls — ones who had committed unspeakable atrocities during their previous incarnations. I have used the analogy of a soul being ‘retrograde’ — much in the way a planet will have the appearance of going backwards. The prevailing feeling that I had whilst observing these souls was one of deep compassion and a yearning to comfort them. I wanted so much to see them relieved of their horrible suffering. But, alas, as painful as this scene was, I was reassured that these souls were here only temporarily and that they, too, would heal and move back in a forward direction and ultimately return to the Light. All souls, without exception, eventually return to the Light…according to what was revealed to me.
The above scene led to another scene where I saw images of people I knew in my present life — obviously those still incarnate on the physical plane, but my viewing them from the Other Side in a scene that would take place in future. (Again, everything experienced on the Other Side is always in the ‘Now’ — even ‘past’ and ‘future’.) These were individuals who’d also committed atrocities in one form or another — individuals who had severely violated me, or people I love. But the scene I beheld was one where they were being made to suffer…as a result of what they’d done — that, most likely being the karmic result of their decisions and actions, etc. Again, I felt a deep sense of compassion for them…and feeling sad that they had to endure such suffering, yet realising that it was also unavoidable. Never once did I feel any sense of anger or hostility towards these individuals…but only wanting to see them healed…so that they, too, would come to know love.
Another scene I remember was that of finding myself observing a realm that constituted water. I beheld all its beauty and splendour and it was teaming with life. Then, before I knew it, I found myself under water and not having to worry about breathing! I was moving about effortlessly and mingling with everything that I’d first observed from without. The same thing happened to me when I moved through space…and danced and flowed with all the heavenly bodies and lights. There were lots of times for play and buzzing about with all the light beings — moving all round me like comets. This was an opportunity to experience great joy and feeling so light and completely void of worry or fear. I could move effortlessly…and adapt to any environment I happened to be in at any given moment. I would simply think about something and it would instantly manifest…or I’d think about a place and there I’d be! Oh, what a sensation to experience such power — to be anywhere I wanted to be and to create anything I wanted to…and to feel so totally free!
After experiencing the tour, adventures and times of play and creation, etc., things became more serious…and I was again in direct communion with the Being of Light. I was now being asked to ‘help’ or ‘assist’ in some way…in creating and determining the outcome of certain events, situations or even things affecting others! Me? Just little me? Oh my, I thought. That’s a grave and serious responsibility. I felt so honoured…and so humble…being asked to participate in such a feat…but what if I failed to do my part as needed, I wondered. Then, I was assured that everything would work out exactly as it should — even if I couldn’t complete things as desired. It seemed that the point in all this was the fact that we co-create with the Light…and we are also part of the Light. Furthermore, no matter what happens…the Light Source will always be in control…and be there to see things through…despite any shortcomings on our part as souls. How auspicious it is, then, to realise that, as souls, we are a part of all creation and take part in the actual creative process thereof!
This very thought of being asked to help — to co-create with the Light — made me feel profoundly special and important in the greater scheme of things, but by no means from an egotistical point of view. As stated above, I felt so deeply humble and a serious sense of responsibility for every thought and action I made. My only thought was that I wanted to do what was right. How important it was that I be very loving and creative…and never damaging in any way…and that’s the gift. I realised at that point, how totally connected with all life…through all the universes…I am. I felt one with the All — never separate, never apart. Still, there was no fear. Still, there was only love. Forever and for always I could never be alone…because I would never be alone. It’s impossible to be alone, because life is everywhere; love is everywhere…and this is what carried me and has stayed with me.
I so cherished this communion with the Light. Everything was communicated telepathically — whether with the Light or other beings, friends or loved ones. It didn’t matter. It was always honest, open and real…and it was always done with love. There’s no such thing as ‘putting on airs’ and no need to hide on the Other Side. No one is there to hurt you in any way — not in the least — because there is no sense of lack…or the need to ‘steal’ someone else’s power or energy. You are operating as a soul, not centred in ego or personality. It’s nice to realise that you will have whatever you need, because you’ve got the capacity and power to create it instantly!
As the mood seemed to shift…I felt as if there was something serious that was just about to befall me. I was now being told that I was going to have to return to the alien (physical) world I’d left behind — that I was needed there for something very special and significant. I needed to go back to share what had just happened to me…and to let others know that life is, indeed, eternal and that death is an illusion. On a personal level, I was told that I needed to experience great love and joy in that world…and finally I would be able to return Home. I was, then, assured that I was real…and that I could believe in what I’d come to know in this glorious realm — not only about myself…but also about all life. I was also told, however, that the world I was returning to was an illusion and that I wasn’t to identify with it or be involved — to be in it but not of it — and that I was only passing through…
To say that my heart sank would be an understatement. This was the first time that I had the true experience of a broken heart while on the Other Side. The very thought of leaving this sacred realm where I was in constant communion with the Light and other beings…crushed me in ways I could never describe. I knew how dark and foreboding that strange, illusory world that I was being asked to return to was…and it is, indeed, a world I’ve never identified with! However, I was, once again, reassured that the Light and other loving beings would be with me at all times…and to remember that I’d never be alone. Gratefully, there was still no sense of fear — only sorrow now, but realising that I had to honour the divine will, making this request of me.
As I reluctantly accepted this mission, I suddenly beheld before me, a most beautiful being who appeared in front of me — pouring tremendous love into me and filling me to overflowing. It was as if this was my gift…for accepting the painful request to leave my home on the Other Side and return to a world so alien to me. This being loved me very deeply and stayed with me, continuing to radiate love and sound…and it was made clear that he’d be with me always.
I started moving back into this world in much the same way that I had left it. It was a very gradual transition. I was, now, more aware of my body laying in hospital intensive care, hooked up to a life-support system, but it was still so separate from me and the vantage point I was experiencing, from the Other Side. It was like being a newborn baby when I finally regained consciousness on this plane. Everything was so strange and new! I had just come from another world — literally — and this world appeared so much darker and void of colour by comparison. Everything was drab and appeared flat to me. I didn’t feel the life-force I experienced on the Other Side…but I was resolved to honour the will of the Light I’d been sent back to fulfil. I had a mission…and there was a special promise that was made to me in return.
Even in hospital, I was aware of the Being of Light still with me…and communicating with me. I was also still aware of other beings with me — beings that I came to realise, later, only I could see and hear. Finally, one day, the Being of Light disappeared from view of my mortal awareness…and I knew, now, that I was fully back in this world. Again, I was broken-hearted, but still free of all fear…and believing and trusting in the promise that I’d never be alone…and so it was…
This near-death experience (or what I prefer to call an Eternal Life Experience) left me feeling such a profound sense of triumph and awe. Something else I learned, too, is that fear is an acquired state, not a natural one. It is something that you learn…but having no connection with the soul self. Love is the prevailing force at all times…no matter how things may appear in this world of duality and illusion. It’s merely a hologram — created by the collective consciousness — for the sake of growth and evolution. Therefore, what occurred on the Other Side, for me, was a special opportunity to experience…and know — with total certainty — that everything was evolving exactly the way it should…and that the ultimate destiny for every living being is to return to the Source, The Light…Pure Love. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'e4e815cf9f3bfda4e2ef8989e94068c08c088022f5f463fe673f53c6d1ae9986'} |

Thoughts on SJWs

Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) are working hard to tear down White Western culture. The most successful culture in history.
How is tearing down White Western culture “social justice”? How is dismantling the greatest culture ever created by mankind a good thing? Ponder that. That’s akin to searching out the greatest scientist on the planet and killing him simply because he’s the greatest scientist on the planet! “How dare he be the greatest scientist alive! The nerve of that guy! What a show-off! What arrogance! He deserves to be killed!” Same concept. Why would you knowingly kill the best person or the best thing? It makes no sense [1]. The opposite is true: you should try to preserve the best person or thing.
Social Justice Warriors are angry losers who came from broken homes; they didn’t get any parental love as children [2]. They are defective people who have low self-esteem so they must attack an entire culture to make themselves feel better. (Because after all, that’s what leftism is: it’s not a political ideology, it’s a weapon. All it can do is attack and tear down). Most of all, SJWs know that White males created the world (all important inventions came from them) and the SJWs really hate that, to an extreme degree.
[1] Actually, it does make some sense if you’re a White-hating leftist. Jewish author Norman F. Cantor notes on page 421 of his 1994 book, “The Sacred Chain: The History of the Jews” that the infamous Jew, Claude Levi-Strauss, an “anthropologist,” could be considered a godfather of left-wing thought, since Levi-Strauss developed/galvanized the concept of the “bad” White world vs. the “good” non-White world, which Cantor calls “the cardinal doctrine of all leftist-leaning thought since 1960”
[2] Ask a liberal what “family values” are and he’ll give you a blank stare. He has no clue what they are. There’s no such thing as a long liberal marriage. After a few years, the feminist wifey files for divorce. Especially in California. Conservative families are much more stable than liberal families.

Can A Sliding Genioplasty Bring The Lower Lip Forward?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Part of my problem with my profile is my lower lip is too recessed as well. Can the sliding genioplasty address the lower lip recession as well? The attached pictures show what could be accomplished with only a modest amount of vertical lengthening. The lower lip advancement should be considered when deciding how much horizontal projection to give. I saw this video and the surgeon in this video said the labial mental fold would appear less with sliding genioplasty because you are bringing it forward and down instead of just forward as in a chin implant. Will the lower lip move forward as well in sliding genioplasty?
I provided a link showing that I would like the osteotomy cut to reach more posteriorly just underneath the nerve to reach farther back to give a more broad appearance. See 1:19 in the video. I would also like the cut made in such a way that there is continuity in the bone. You can also come up more so it’s a few millimeters below the tooth root. I’m not sure if the bracket’s you ordered are for a specific dimension. As far as specific dimensions I was thinking 8-9 mm vertical and 7 -8 mm horizontal.
A:It is clear that you have some basic and common misconceptions about what a sliding genioplasty accomplished. So let me provide you with some basic understanding of what the procedure does and does not do:
1) It will NOT bring the lower lip position forward. Lower Lip position is primarily controlled by the lower teeth. Thus the only procedure that will bring the lower lip forward is a sagittal split mandibular osteotomy (orthognathic surgery) which pulls the whole lower jaw forward with the teeth. A sliding genioplasty is a bone cut beneath the lower teeth which moves the chin bone but does not change the bite relationship or move the lower teeth forward.
2) The depth of the labiomental fold (better described as the labiomental sulcus not a fold) is controlled by the attachment of the mentalis muscle to the bone. Any type of chin augmentation procedure (implant or sliding genioplasty), by definition, moves the bone or soft tissue chin pad below forward BELOW the attachment of the mentalis muscle or below the labiomental sulcus. Thus any form of horizontal chin augmentation is goin to make the labiomental sulcus deeper. That is unavoidable. In the case of a sliding genioplasty which is also providing vertical elongation the deepening of the labiomental sulcus may be mitigated somewhat. (not made appreciably deeper) That being said what is going to happen in your case? Because of the chin bone movements it will probably not get any worse but I would not count on it betting better either.
3) When it comes to the osteotomy cut, I will make it as to what I know is best. Your key misunderstanding on the sliding genioplasty bone cut is that you must stay way below the mental foramen to avoid cutting the intrabony course of the nerve (and resulting in permanent lower lip numbness) and you must equally stay below the tooth roots enough to avoid creating permanent numbness of the lower front 6 teeth. But no matter how the osteotomy cut is done it will NOT make the chin wider. A sliding genioplasty that brings the chin forward and down will result in the chin becoming more narrow…this is unavoidable.
4) How much the chin bone can come forward and down will not be known until actually doing it in surgery. You have a naturally very small chin and the large chin implant has undoubtably caused some typical loss of 1 to 2mms of bone. While I agree that a total 8 to 9mm forward and perhaps equally vertically downward may be optimal, whether that can be safely achieved in surgery remains to be seen. You can’t just move the chin out in space, part of it must remain in contact with the bone above it to heal and avoid substantial bone resorption.
In conclusion you are under the illusion that a sliding genioplasty can do more that what it can really do. The purpose of the sliding genioplasty in your case, as opposed to going right to the entire custom jawline implant, is to lessen the implant load on the chin with the second stage custom jawline implant. It is not being done necessarily because it will create a better aesthetic result than the one stage custom jawline implant.

A 9-year-old male presented to the emergency department with two days of non-bloody, non-bilious emesis and one day of abdominal distention. His past medical history was significant for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, neurogenic bladder, recurrent urinary tract infections, severe developmental delay, history of malrotation status post Ladd procedure, and gastrostomy tube dependence. Physical exam was notable for a moderately distended abdomen.
Radiographs were obtained on presentation. Supine image (Figure 1) shows central dilated loops of bowel with decompressed small bowel and distal colon. The image also demonstrates the presence of intramural bowel gas (pneumatosis intestinalis). Decubitus image (Figure 2) shows air-fluid levels in the colon, which can be a nonspecific finding. Given these findings, a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was performed.
Axial CT images, in soft tissue window, show a large dilated loop of bowel in the left upper quadrant (Figure 3) as well as pneumatosis in the colonic wall (Figures 3). Axial CT image, in lung window, demonstrates more clearly intramural bowel gas and free air in the abdomen (Figure 4).
Axial CT image, in soft tissue window, shows significant ascites and extra-luminal fluid and air in the retroperitoneum (Figure 5). A coronal CT image, in soft tissue window, shows the stomach, distal colon, and small intestine are decompressed. The small bowel is present in the right side of the abdomen, consistent with the patient’s history of malrotation (Figure 6).
Large-bowel obstruction.
The differential diagnosis includes bowel ischemia, bowel perforation, necrotizing enterocolitis (given the presence of pneumatosis), intra-abdominal abscess, adynamic ileus, or Ogilvie syndrome.
Large-bowel obstruction (LBO) is much less common than small bowel obstruction but is considered an abdominal emergency. The etiology of bowel obstruction varies by age. In neonates, the most common causes include intestinal atresia, meconium ileus, Hirschsprung disease, and malrotation. In older children, adhesions can often cause obstruction, with approximately 5% of children having had abdominal surgery develop adhesions resulting in bowel obstruction. Other causes include intussusception and inflammatory bowel disease.1 In the adult population, malignancy remains the most common cause.2 Presenting symptoms include abdominal pain, distension, obstipation, and peritonitis if perforation occurs.2
Abdominal radiography is typically the first imaging study obtained in patients suspected of having a bowel obstruction and should include supine and decubitus films. Large-bowel obstruction should be considered if the colonic diameter is greater than 6 cm and in the presence of air-fluid levels, although these findings are not specific for obstruction and can be seen with paralytic ileus and toxic megacolon. Complications of LBO including pneumatosis intestinalis, pneumoperitoneum, and portal venous gas.2 A CT abdomen and pelvis study with IV contrast is the gold standard for diagnosing bowel obstruction, and is useful in identifying the cause and location of the obstruction. CT will demonstrate dilated, thin-walled colon proximal to the transition point and compressed bowel distal to the obstruction.2,3 It will also confirm findings of intramural bowel gas or free intra-abdominal air as seen on plain radiographs.
Management of a large-bowel obstruction varies depending on the etiology. Initial treatment should focus on fluid resuscitation, correction of electrolyte abnormalities, and nasogastric decompression to prevent vomiting and aspiration.4 In the presence of peritonitis or pneumoperitoneum, urgent surgical intervention is necessary. If bowel resection is warranted in a child, surgeons will often attempt primary anastomosis of the bowel instead of colostomy, while in the adult population, colostomy is more often performed.4
Although much less common than small-bowel obstruction, large-bowel obstruction can occur in the pediatric population and is an abdominal emergency. Clinical history includes vomiting, abdominal distension, and obstipation. Abdominal radiographs can raise suspicion for obstruction by demonstrating dilated colon and the presence of intramural bowel gas or pneumoperitoneum. A CT study of the abdomen and pelvis is the gold standard for diagnosing large-bowel obstruction and can be useful in delineating the etiology and location of the obstruction.

Uhuru Kenyatta had an early edge as Kenya continued the count in a presidential election that brought out millions of voters despite pockets of violence that killed at least 15 people.
That edge could still be overhauled as it was based on a count of about 10% of votes cast, provisional figures from the election commission indicated.
Election officials had said turnout was more than 70% of the 14.3 million eligible voters but have not given a precise total.

What is your best chicken soup recipe EVER?
Asked by Bellatrix (21133 points ) June 1st, 2011
I don’t mean one of those watery, chicken soup recipes, but that thick, yummy, chicken soup. My former mother-in-law had a great chicken soup recipe but she hates me so I don’t think she is likely to share :-D

Small fryer hen stuffed with a head of garlic, wrapped in cheese cloth and simmered for a few hours in water with stalks of celery, a few sprigs of fresh dill fern and whole peppercorns.
Add in matzo balls formed with minced mushroom, grated carrot and grated red bell pepper to steep after the chicken has been removed and the broth filtered clear. I take the chicken apart and serve it on it’s own platter with sprigs of fresh cilantro, green onion stalks and hothouse small tomatoes.

Not a full recipe, but any good chicken soup should be made by simmering chicken bones in water with a bit of vinegar for 6–8 hours. Bone broth is extremely savory and I believe it has magic healing powers. The book “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon goes into a lot of why it’s so healthy.

Roast a chicken
Eat the chicken
Put all the parts you don’t eat in a pot
(Hearts, livers etc ARE NOT included)
Cut up an onion, throw it in the pot
Cut up a carrot, throw it in the pot
Cut up a celery stalk, throw it in the pot
Put some salt in, too and fill the pot with water
Simmer (just baaarely simmer, do not boil) for 2 or 3 hours
Strain out the solids, giving you chicken stock.
Cool the stock in the fridge (or outside in the winter) and skim off the fat
When you feel like having soup, put stock in a pot.
Green beans
Chicken meat
Diced tomato
Diced potato
Simmer until the veggies are as soft or crunchy as you like.
This is really economical. Chicken stock is $2 or $3 per quart. This gives you 2 to 4 free quarts after you finish your roast chicken.

I know of a delicious chicken stew like soup thats really good if you like. But I’ll have to get back to you on that tomorrow. I don’t exactly measure so I’ll have to give the measurements some thought.
Let me know if your interested.

I do the same thing as @jaytkay except I put all kinds of herbs in it—oregano, rosemary, basil, sage, a bay leaf. Sometimes I put half a lemon in it, or lemongrass.
If I want chicken soup, I’ll take the meat off the bones and put that in the stock. I don’t do that much any more since the stock is much more valuable as stock than soup. Oh, and I do put the liver, heart and neck in to boil.
Mine will taste a lot more rich, I think.

A friend of mine told me about the Univ of Nebraska Chicken Soup Study and sent me the link for the recipe
The only difference is that I buy backs/necks and wings and roast them then cover with water and begin the recipe as described
(and it cures a cold too)
christine215's avatar
@jaytkay that’s my whole roasted chicke ritual, only I leave it on the simmer for more like 6 hours and you have stock

This has been my go=to for a long time, but it isn’t a traditional chicken soup.
Chicken, Spinach & Gnocchi Soup
adapted from a Food Network cookbook
1 package of pre-made gnocchi
1 bag of baby spinach
skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp unsalted butter

1. Bring water to boil in a large pot throw in chicken and cook until it is cooked through.
2. Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil over high heat, then salt generously. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Slice your garlic and shred the chicken, reserve chicken stock.
4. Add ¼ cup of chicken broth, garlic, butter and sugar to a large pot over medium low heat. Bring it to a simmer and cook, uncovered until the garlic is tender, about a minute.
5. Add the spinach add let it wilt for about 30 seconds. Add 3¾ cups of chicken broth, the chicken and bring just to a simmer. Stir in gnocchi and bring to a full boil.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with grated parmesan if desired.

Chicago Teachers Strike
09.20.12
Will More Democrats Follow Rahm Emanuel in Chicago and Take On Unions?
The Democratic mayor stood up to unions over the teachers’ strike. The question now is whether Democrats nationally will try to develop signature policy approaches for pension and education reform—or stick to their alliance with labor unions.
The Chicago fire is out for now. The teachers’ strike is over. But the beyond the question of winners and losers in this negotiation is the larger state of play—will more Democrats follow Rahm Emanuel’s lead and declare independence from labor unions?
“The fact that this Democratic mayor was willing to take on the unions, especially during the presidential election is incredibly important,” says Michelle Rhee, the former Washington D.C. schools chancellor and founder of StudentsFirst. “I think it sends a message to the unions that it’s a new day.”
In the arena of education reform, the issue in this new day is results—we’ve been spending more and getting less in terms of student performance. Increased teaching hours, accountability and principal flexibility in hiring coinciding with teacher raises—as Chicago did—is a step in the right direction, if short of a grand bargain. The success of a city like New Orleans, which switched to a charter school model after Katrina with strikingly successful results raises the bar and sets a powerful new example that Democrats can’t afford to ignore, despite union opposition.
The other area where good policy requires political courage is pension reform—that definitively unsexy budget-busting item that no responsible executive, Democrat or Republican, can ignore. The number of cities declaring bankruptcy is on the rise and it’s not just the economy, stupid. Cities can’t simply cut or tax their way out of this hole.
Union rhetoric in the face of attempts to take on these issues can sometimes go beyond tough talk in defense of self-interest to the dishonest and demagogic. One example occurred when Chicago Teachers Union Delegate Jay Rehak told Erin Burnett on CNN’s OutFront that “the mayor has an active attempt to destroy schools and destroy communities” and accused him of “attacking the middle class since he got in.”
Look, we all know that politics ain’t beanbag, but there are growing signs that citizens will reward the courage to take on these tough issues.
In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie proved that he could take on the public sector unions and win the fight in the court of public opinion, closing budget gaps without raising taxes and gaining significant concessions on teacher tenure reforms. The sometimes ugly union protests were not successful in demonizing him among the independents who outnumber registered Democrats or Republicans in the Garden State. Even Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who quickly proved more clumsy and polarizing than Christie, survived a recall attempt by a larger number of votes than he was initially elected with, despite an existential full court press by labor unions.
An even more serious wake-up call for Democrats came the same night of the Wisconsin recall, when 70 percent of voters in San Jose and San Diego voted for public-sector union pension reforms that could save their cash-strapped cities billions of dollars. The fact that San Jose’s pensions costs had tripled over the past decade—taking up a quarter of the municipal budget—resonates beyond partisan politics. It is a practical necessity with political support that transcends party lines, even in sky-blue California.
“Solving the pension problem is one of the country’s great challenges and Democrats must actively engage,” says Jim Kessler, co-founder of the centrist Democratic think tank, Third Way. “It’s time to stop pretending that the math works or that the problem will solve itself.”
“Democrats have to take these issues on. And quite frankly, I think that there is a way that you can take them on in a pretty reasonable way,” agrees Michelle Rhee. “You can first and foremost protect the people who are at retirement, or very close to retirement right now, because those people have been living their entire careers with a certain commitment in mind. But certainly for people who are new to the profession, we have to be able to have a real conversation and say ‘you know, if we don’t fix this then you’re going to have nothing at the end of the day and nobody wants that.’”
The answer might be most frequently found on the local level, and ironically, from Democratic mayors. “State legislators and people at the federal level don’t have to deal with the day-to-day pension issues in the way that a mayor does, and so I think the Democratic mayors are the ones who are going to have to sit down at the table,” says Rhee, who is married to Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. “They’re the ones that have probably the best relationships with police, fire, teachers, etcetera. I think a good example of that is Kasim Reed in Atlanta, who was facing an absolutely abysmal fiscal situation and was able to work out with his unions some concessions on what pensions are going to look like moving forward.”
The question for Democrats on a national level is whether they will try to develop signature policy approaches for pension reform and education reform, or whether they will try to be as intransigent on the subject of unions as Republicans are on low-taxes-at-all-costs and fealty to the religious right. Seen in the right light, this is actually an opportunity to do well while doing good. Just as a southern Democrat like Lyndon Johnson was able to deliver on civil rights and Bill Clinton was able to achieve welfare reform by working with House Republicans, there is an opportunity for Democrats to forge responsible, balanced policy on these issues that can pass. The more rigidly ideological alternatives from Republicans will simultaneously be more polarizing, more punishing, and have less chance to pass.
We all know that politics ain’t beanbag, but there are growing signs that citizens will reward the courage to take on these tough issues.
But if national Democrats don’t follow Rahm’s lead and allow play-to-the-base politics to constrain their policy options, they may well find centrist and independent voters looking to Republicans for clear solutions on these fast-moving fiscal crisis—even if President Obama wins the election this fall. Because this is not about personality, it is about practical policy. And ultimately, it’s about leadership. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '0174f0cfe51be1c9bcb6a7965de8ccebbef9bdbcdd21c0655cc38872f41738aa'} |

Call Center Success The Sandler Way
By Tom Niesen
Purchase your Kindle version on Amazon.
It could be because people are spending less time “shopping” and more time just buying. Just a few years ago the buying process for most people started when they picked up the phone and started to talk to a salesperson, either in person or on the phone. In today’s world, with all the data at our fingertips, a salesperson often isn’t contacted until more than fifty percent of the sales process is done!
For many purchases, people don’t feel the need to spend a whole lot of time in front of a sales person -- or even much time on the phone. For many purchases, the conversations and fact finding now occupy a relatively brief span of time.
When we target such consumers, though, there are certain basic questions we struggle with.
• How do we get the people we call to want to stay on the line with us?
• Or, in an inbound model, how do we connect with them most effectively during those critical opening seconds when they pose their question or issue?
• Once we do have them on the phone, how do we keep them on the line and turn that call into profit?
In his new book, author Tom Niesen shows call center managers how to empower their teams to accomplish these critical business goals … using the Sandler Selling System. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '31', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9382891654968262}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '41306', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:H62MCTRXHHAHMRCZER2DJBDEJZQOFMDO', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1d3a5b1b-192e-4965-a9ad-25c8ca2e59e0>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 2, 23, 37, 52), 'WARC-IP-Address': '13.249.44.52', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:47JPYQFXE53SMOEGQ4BODZTX7SP4IUBV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:df168b99-61f5-4c1a-9ed8-0cbc78119c50>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://shop.sandler.com/books/call-center-success-sandler-way?ref=209', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:18547d04-77fb-41be-a475-3e5c438343b3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '298', 'url': 'https://shop.sandler.com/books/call-center-success-sandler-way?ref=209', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-24\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May/June 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-190.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': '0.0182000994682312', 'original_id': 'a089550ba3e346527816b919631eab31e29d7fbbd3fa54e83873908b0ad0ac89'} |

Al-Qaeda leader captured
US officials say that special forces have detained senior al-Qaeda leader Abu Anas al-Liby in Libya.
PT1M13S 620 349
The operation was as swift as it was inevitable. The whereabouts of the man known as Abu Anas al-Libi had been reported to Western intelligence officials more than a year ago as he followed a regular routine from his Tripoli home.
One of America's most wanted men, with a $US5million ($5.3 million) price on his head, was living within two kilometres of the former, now ransacked British Embassy.
According to one report, the Libyan government, under its former leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, had even given out his address to those who asked.
Abdullah al-Raghie (R) and Abdul Moheman al-Raghie (L), the sons of al-Qaeda suspect Abu Anas al-Libi, show the car from which their father was taken by US special forces.
That freedom ended at dawn on Saturday. He was driving back from morning prayers to his villa in the upmarket eastern suburb of Noufleen when the American "Delta Force" special operations unit pounced, as his wife watched from the window.
"I saw the cars stop him. They took his pistol and then they put a bag on his head and pushed him into a car," she said. His brother, Abdulbaset, who relayed her account to the London Telegraph, did not give her name, in keeping with conservative local custom.
Within a few hours al-Libi had been spirited out of the country. The Pentagon would not say where he was being held but there are US navy warships within helicopter range in the Mediterranean and US military bases in southern Italy.

The operation to capture al-Libi, whose real name is Nazih Abdulhamed al-Ruqaie, began 15 years earlier, when he was living in exile in Manchester.
Investigators looking into the bombing of the American embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on August 7, 1998, believed he was one of the operation's planners.
Al-Libi fled Britain in 1999 and his seizure on Saturday was his next confirmed sighting. But reports had reached Western officials last year that he had moved back to Libya during or even before the 2011 uprising against Gaddafi's rule and was moving freely around the capital. One of his sons had been killed in the fighting in Tripoli in August of that year.
At the time of the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi last September which killed the ambassador, Christopher Steven, al-Libi was suspected of helping to re-establish al-Qaeda in post-Gaddafi Libya.
He now lived with his wife and one of his sons, Abdullah. It was outside their home that the operation to seize him moved into gear on Saturday morning.
Abdulbaset al-Ruqaie said his brother was parking his car outside the house when three or four SUV-type cars screeched in and surrounded him.
Five men emerged wearing balaclavas and smashed the car's side window.
They managed to grab his weapon - not an unusual item for Libyan men to carry in the chaotic post-Gaddafi years - and pull him out and into their own convoy before speeding off.
Mr al-Ruqaie said that at first he thought al-Libi had been a victim of one of the numerous feuds between competing militias, some Islamist, who are vying for power in Libya.
"I thought it was a kind of misunderstanding between the brigades," he said. "I thought it was a normal Libyan kidnap, not that it was American commandos."
The truth was not confirmed by the US authorities until almost 24 hours later. "As the result of a US counterterrorism operation, Abu Anas al-Libi is currently lawfully detained by the US military in a secure location outside of Libya," a Pentagon spokesman said.
The fact that the operation happened at almost exactly the same time another raid, by US Navy Seals, was taking place on an al-Qaeda base in coastal Somalia was described as "coincidence". There was no immediate suggestion that al-Libi was in contact with al-Shabaab, the Somali branch of al-Qaeda.
Al-Libi's son, Abdullah, said his father had been preparing to launch a formal legal case to determine his innocence and prevent his extradition to the United States.
He said his father had worked in the oil industry after returning to Libya.
"This operation was committed by the government," he said. "There is no difference between this government and Gaddafi. It should leave as Gaddafi left."
Like him, Hashem al-Bishr, head of the government-backed Supreme Security Council, also claimed that the men who seized al-Libi were Libyan, though led by an American.
A spokesman for Ali al-Zeidan, the prime minister, denied that the government was involved in or had been informed of the arrest. Mr Zeidan is already under attack from Islamists for being too close to the United States.
Washington welcomed what it said was a further success in its campaign to eliminate al-Qaeda's top leadership.
"We hope that this makes clear that the United States of America will never stop in the effort to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror," John Kerry, the secretary of state, said.
