Run a Search Against a Scheduled View
Running a search against the indexed data in a Scheduled View is almost exactly the same as running any other query. The difference you'll notice is the quick speed at which results are returned, especially if you're searching over a long period of historical data.
Queries that contain Views can be saved as scheduled searches, as Dashboard Panels, and as published or saved searches. Only Admins can create Scheduled Views.
To run a search against a Scheduled View:
1. Begin the search with _view=ScheduledViewName, specifying the name of the Scheduled View that has indexed the data you want to search.
2. Type the rest of the query, using any operators you prefer.
For our example, we're running a search against a Scheduled View named fraudTroller, which indexes NGINX logs. By specifying that subset of data, we can dive into the prior day's logs, and get search results very quickly because the data has already been aggregated. Depending on the operators in the query, we could use this as a scheduled search or even a Dashboard Panel.

The present invention relates to a method and device for verifying timing in a semiconductor integrated circuit.
In the prior art, timing verification for a digital circuit is performed by conducting, for example, static timing analysis (STA). The static timing analysis checks and ensures operation of a logic circuit by verifying timings for the circuit based on delay times assigned to respective elements in the circuit. As shown in FIG. 1, the timing verification includes a delay computation step (step 201) and a timing analysis step (STA) (step 202). In the delay computation, a processor retrieves parasitic information such as wiring parasitic capacitance from a file 203, a cell library from a file 204, and setup information such as correction information for delay computation results from a file 205. The processor then computes delay values for the respective elements of the logic circuit to generate a file 206 containing delay information. In the timing analysis, the processor performs the static timing analysis by computing an accumulated delay value in a path (signal transfer path) based on the delay information stored in the file 206 (i.e., the delay values computed in step 201) and design constraints stored in a file 207 to analyze the pulse width at an input terminal of a circuit such as a flip-flop circuit (FF circuit) or a memory. The processor then generates a result for the timing verification (timing report 208) of the logic circuit based on the result for the static timing analysis.
Delay times of elements are affected by variations in the processes performed to form transistor wiring on a semiconductor integrated circuit or variations in factors such as a power supply voltage and temperature. Therefore, in the step for computing delay values, the processor takes into account the coefficient of variation (OCV) for each element in the chip to compute the delay values. The static timing analysis, which uses the delay values computed in this manner, verifies whether or not the semiconductor integrated circuit functions normally even if there are variations between elements in the chip.
For example, referring to FIG. 2, a semiconductor integrated circuit includes an FF circuit 212 receiving a clock ck via a plurality of buffer circuits 211. Pulse width check is performed by checking the pulse width of the clock ck at a clock input terminal 212a of the FF circuit 212. The clock ck is delayed by the path delay caused by the plurality of buffer circuits 211 and reaches the FF circuit 212 as a clock ck1. The pulse width Width(H) of this clock ck1 is obtained by the following equation (1), which is based on a pulse width pw(H) of the clock ck and a rise delay time “rise_maxmax” and a fall delay time “fall_maxmin” of the clock ck1 at the input terminal of the buffer circuit 211 with respect to a supply source (e.g., an external input terminal) of the clock ck:Width(H)=PW(H)+fall_maxmin−rise_maxmax (1)The rise delay time “rise_maxmax” is the delay time of the rising edge (rise delay) of the clock ck1 with respect to the rising edge of the clock ck under the worst conditions. The fall delay time “fall_maxmin” is the delay time of the falling edge (fall delay) of the clock ck1 with respect to the falling edge of the clock ck under the worst conditions.
The maximum value of the delay time is taken into account for the rise delay time “rise_maxmax” and the minimum value of the delay time is taken into account for the fall delay time “fall_maxmin” so that the variation between the delay times “rise_maxmax” and “fall_maxmin” is maximized to conduct a strict timing check. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-184372 describes a method for verifying a pulse width using an equation similar to equation (1).
When using a coefficient of variation OCVw under the worst conditions, the equation (1) is expressed as follows:Width(H)=PW(H)+fall_maxmax×OCVw−rise_maxmax (2)The pulse width Width(H) obtained from equation (2) is compared with a specified value tPW for a subject cell (the FF circuit 212 in FIG. 2) to conduct the pulse width check.
Similarly, an L pulse width Width(L) under the worst conditions is obtained from the following equation:Width(L)=pw(L)+rise_maxmin−fall_maxmax=pw(L)+rise_maxmax×OCVw−fall_maxmaxAn H pulse width Width(H) under the best conditions is obtained from the following equation:Width(H)=pw(H)+fall_minmin−rise_minmax=pw(H)+fall_minmin−rise_minmin×OCVb An L pulse width Width(L) under the best conditions is obtained from the following equation:Width(L)=pw(L)+rise_minmin−fall_minmax=pw(L)+rise_minmin−fall_minmin×OCVb In the above equations, “minimin” represents the minimum delay under the best conditions, “minmax” represents the maximum delay under the best conditions, and “OCVb” represents a coefficient of variation under the best conditions.
Referring to FIG. 3, in another example, a semiconductor integrated circuit includes two FF circuits 222 and 223 receiving a clock ck via a plurality of buffer circuits 221. The first FF circuit 222 operates in synchronization with the rising edge of a clock ck1 transferred via the buffer circuits 221, and the second FF circuit 223 operates in synchronization with the falling edge of a clock ck2 transferred via the buffer circuits 221. A timing check is conducted to check the timing of data D at an input terminal 223a of the FF circuit 223 and the clock ck2 at an input terminal 223b of the FF circuit 223. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b77f80957cce96116c5cb6596770ad0146a3c121807bc4f14f07b24c493ce56c'} |

I am assuming nothing has been changed regarding the available airflow to the appliance in the area it is in - like weatherstripping on doors or better-insulated and sealing garage door or such ? Cutting down on available airflow to the area it is in can cause blowout of the pilot. If the room it is in has had the airflow reduced, you may need to provide added combustion air to that area. I am also assuming that liner/flue does not serve any devices on upper floors - that can cause blowouts too, and is generally prohibited. I am also assuming that you have not put in a more efficient or smaller furnace since the liner job - because the new unit might be too small for the liner size. Generally speaking, the flue sizing is to keep the gases hot enough that you do not get condensing conditions in the flue, and large enough that there is not a backup of gases in the flue due to flow restrictions from too small a pipe, but too large a flue can result in overdrafting and pilot blowout - even flame blowout or rollout (flames outside the bottom of firebox) in extreme cases. Sounds like the liner size may have been changed - liner size should have been checked against the size of boiler (BTU/hour rating) to determine the diameter to use. You can find tables of flue size versus appliance ratings (total of all on same flue) at many manufacturer websites - just google for - furnace flue size requirement - . Other possibility is they put on a new type cap, or no cap at all, so you are getting a substantial venturi effect at the top of the flue. My first approach would be to have a Heating and A/C contractor (or maybe Plumber in your area, for boiler) check the flue diameter against the capacity of the devices using it. I would also have him check the thermocouple - maybe it is not fully in the flame so it gets too cold when there is a wind blowing. If in doubt on thermocouple, or more than a year old and it is a standing pilot furnace, have it changed out (about $10-15 part) - sometimes they go bad and become overly sensitive to drafts blowing past them. It is also possible the thermocouple is mis-oriented in the housing - if the air draft blows over the thermocouple rather than blowing the pilot flame into the thermocouple that could be the problem too. Sometimes a bit larger pilot flame can solve this problem too - simple adjustment on the gas valve, and insignificant difference in fuel consumption. If not oversized (beyond code) then I would be looking at a draft-reduction hood on top of the flue - there are several designs to reduce the wind causing added draft in the flue, from multi-baffle types (lower maintenance) to weathervaning types (that commonly need periodic cleaning/ lubrication) that swivel the opening around with the wind. I am not convinced the latter type work well to reduce draft problems - they are usually better at inducing more draft in long flues, even though they are sold for use with this problem too. I would give about 10:1 odds one of the above is the problem. If it does turn out that the liner is the wrong size, then whether you have a claim against the liner contractor (from October) would be a question - especially if he did not get required building inspection, which should have caught a mis-sizing if that is the case.

You know, I thought about your case a bit more overnight.
Unless this going-out issue started as soon as the new liner was put in, I think that might be just a coincidence, because unless you are in an area with good winds every day it would not be blowing out due to draft on calm days. I would think back to when it started, and if that matches with the new liner, or if it matches up with any energy conservation measures installation, water heater changeout, change or weatherstripping of garage door, etc.
In troubleshooting, I would concentrate initially on several things that came to mind - of course, these are all hypotheticals, but any one could be the case:
0) make sure there is a cap on the top of the flue (should be able to see from ground level), and that it extends either about 2 feet above ridge of roof (if near ridge), or 3 or more feet above roof level if lower down on roof where it comes through. If they installed the flue short so it does not extend far enough above the roof, that could cause drafting through the flue as the airflow ovder the roof affects it.
1) be sure they installed a draft hood - the open bottom cone shaped skirt right on top of the furnace (water heater has one too), which helps initiate the draft in the flue when the appliance first kicks on. If they connected the flue ducting direct to the furnace without a draft hood, with the exception of very few units like fan-driven pulse units, that could cause backdrafting when the unit fires up, which can starve the fire for air or cause automatic sensor shutdown ofthe burners.
2) be sure the liner is not blocked by birds nest, insect nest, etc.
3) In both the above cases, and also if you are not getting enough incoming combustion air to the room/garage the furnace is in, the natural flue exhaust draft up the liner will be slow to establish itself. This can cause the "fire" to basically stay in the firebox or even "rollout" under the edges of the furnace, which is not only dangerous but with newer furnaces will cause it to shut down because they have rollout sensors that detect the rollout heat and cut off the burners. Look up under the furnace (assuming it is open firebox type, not sealed chamber pulse unit) when the unit kicks on - if the flame, after an initial unstable second or so when first igniting, significantly wavers, wobbles, "gutters", or "walks around" in the firebox rather than "standing up straight" above the burners without significant (more than 1/2 inch or so variation) lateral movement or with more than the tips of the flames being yellow, then you may have backpressure from the flue, you lack combustion air, or your air/gas mixture needs adjusting. Certainly if the flame balls up and flickers out to or under the edge of the firebox rather than going straight up that is a critical situation and needs immediate correction. If it is balling up and spreading out all over in the firebox rather than being vertical rows of flame that merge into a clean upward flow into the furnace, try opening a door or window to the outside from the room the furnace is in and see if that makes a difference. If it changes to a nice straight, vertical flame when you do that, then you need to provide makeup air - commonly with a screened ducted opening through an outside wall about 6-12 inches in diameter, depending on unit size. Technician can size it - depends on combined Btu demand of all appliances in that room. In some cases, this will occur only when the water heater is also firing at the same time, which can get frustrating, because it only blows out about once a day when both happen to be firing simultaneously.
Also, if you have a clothes dryer in that area, whenn it operates it pulls a lot of air out of the room and can create a partial vacuum, which can cuase furnace backdrafting, so the makeup air opening to the outside needs to be increased in that case too.
4) One other thing in the coincidence category which I think I mentioned before - this problem may have nothing to do with the flue, and may just be a thermocouple making poor contact in the gas control valve so it intermittently fails to turn on the gas flow to the burners, could remotely possibly be an intermittent flaw in the gas control valve itself (had that happen on mine once), or could be the the thermocouple is not located in the blue part of the pilot flame properly (especially with standing pilot) or that the piezoelectric ignitor is failing to ignite the pilot at times. I have never seen intermittent failure of a thermocouple, only good or dead, but I suppose that is a possibility too. Quite cheap to replace the thermocouple - electronic/ piezoelectric ignitor also in the $10-20 range commonly for the part, but if the ignitor control board has failed more like $20-60 parts - plus service call charge of around $75-150 labor.
5) if you have an electronic furnace, it is also possible that you have an intermittent problem withthe master control circuyit board, with a sensor not working right, or if the unit has an outlet damper or booster fan, that it is not kicking in correctly every time. In that case, with some makes the furnace will kick on, but then shut down the burners in a couple of seconds because the exhausst gas is not exhausting correctly. With elecctronic control units there are TONS of possible causes - some of them interlocking - so it can be a real problem to solve. I had one I was working on a few months ago that took 4 hours to debug - turned out when the motor-controlled damper operated it was vibrating a loose connection on the exhaust fan (on a new high-efficiency boiler), so the fan shut off right after turning on, causing the circuit board to recognize the exhaust fan was not operating so it shut down the burners. The joys of electronic controlled appliances - they add greatly to the diagnosis time and repair costs, and in my opinion rarely at to functionality or efficiency of the unit but fail far more frequently.
6) If you have an HVAC technician out, also have him look at what is feeding into the flue, and where - there should not be anything but same-fuel heating appliances at one level tied into it - not different appliances on different floors, and in general (in most code areas) not oil and gas fired appliances both, and only two inmost cases - two furnaces, or one furnace and one same-fuel water heater.

US returns ancient artifact stolen from Cambodia
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP): The U.S. government returned to Cambodia on Monday the head of an Angkor-era sculpture that had been stolen and smuggled out of the Southeast Asian country.
The artifact, weighing about two kilograms (4.4 pounds), is a sandstone head of a celestial dancer, or apsara, from the 12th century, the U.S. Embassy said in a statement Monday.
It said the object was smuggled out of Cambodia into the U.S. in violation of a 2003 agreement between the two countries that aims to protect Cambodia's cultural heritage. The statement did not say when the item was stolen.
U.S. law enforcement agents seized the artifact early this year, Jeff Daigle, an embassy spokesman said.
"The U.S. government is very determined to assist the Cambodian government in protecting and preserving its heritage,'' Ambassador Joseph Mussomeli said after a ceremony in which the artifact was officially returned.
"We're very grateful and happy that our police and our other law enforcement agencies are really focused on this issue.'' he said.
Him Chhem, acting minister of culture, thanked the U.S. government for returning the artifact.

<p>Das könnte der AfD gefallen: Ende August startete bei <a href="https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bjoern-hoecke-von-opel-beschaeftigen-bei-demo-abgedraengt-a-1204720.html" target="_blank">Opel in Eisenach</a> die <a href="https://www.mdr.de/thueringen/west-thueringen/eisenach/opel-werk-grandland-gelaendewagen-100.html" target="_blank">Produktion des Stadtgeländewagens „Grandland X“</a> Die bisher auf Kleinwagen spezialisierte Autofabrik wird dafür völlig umgekrempelt. Gewerkschafter und Betriebsräte haben Vorbehalte haben gegen die neue Fixierung auf die SUV-Produktion. Sie fürchten, dass die rechtsradikale Partei den Streit für sich ausnutzen will. Nach dem Motto: Wichtig sei der Erhalt von Arbeitsplätzen, Umweltfragen seien bestenfalls zweitrangig.</p><p>Bei den Strategen in der Zentrale des Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes (DGB) in Berlin ist das seit Wochen ein großes Thema: Wie erlaubt es die AfD, sich vor allem <a href="/politik/tag-der-deutschen-einheit-wir-brauchen-wieder-das-herzblut-des-wendejahres/25076042.html" target="_self">in Ostdeutschland</a> als „Partei des kleinen Mannes“ zu generieren, obwohl es, wie es beim DGB heißt, der rechtsradikalen Partei an abgestimmten Konzepten für die Gestaltung der Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik fehlt? </p><p>In einer neuen Schrift unter der Überschrift „Eine ,Arbeiterpartei für Deutsche'?“ nimmt der DGB jetzt den Sozialpopulismus der AfD unter die Lupe - und rechnet mit der Partei ab. Der DGB wirft der Partei vor, <a href="/themen/agenda/betriebsratswahlen-im-fruehjahr-rechte-kandidaten-streben-in-die-betriebsraete/20849470.html" target="_self">die Einheitsgewerkschaft spalten zu wollen</a> und analysiert, dass zwischen der sozialpolitischen Rhetorik der Partei und der Wirklichkeit eine große Lücke klaffe. In Zukunftsfragen wie der Rente oder dem Mindestlohn biete die AfD „ein ganzes Sammelsurium sich widersprechender Konzepte“ an, heißt es in dem Papier. </p><p>Die Spaltung der AfD in der sozialen Frage sieht laut DGB so aus: Auf der einen Seite gebe es in der Partei marktradikale Fundamentalisten. Auf der anderen Seite diene sich der völkisch-nationalistische Flügel bei denen an, die sich von Globalisierung und zunehmender internationaler Konkurrenz bedroht sehen. Diesen werde dann der „Schutz der Volksgemeinschaft“ versprochen. Die sozialpolitischen Themen der AfD dienten zur „Frontstellung gegen Einwanderinnen und Einwanderer“ so die Einschätzung des Gewerkschafts-Dachverbandes. </p><div id="opinary-automation-placeholder"></div><h3>„Außer einer Mogelpackung nichts zu bieten“</h3><p>DGB-Vorstandsmitglied Annelie Buntenbach sagte in Berlin: „Für die Arbeitnehmer hat die AfD außer einer Mogelpackung nichts zu bieten. Die AfD ist eine zutiefst neoliberale und gleichzeitig <a href="/politik/verwaltungsgericht-entscheidet-afd-politiker-bjoern-hoecke-darf-als-faschist-bezeichnet-werden/25066588.html" target="_self">völkische Partei</a>, die unsere sozialstaatlichen Errungenschaften am liebsten abschaffen will. Die Arbeitnehmer dürfen der Partei ihren sozialen Anstrich auf keinen Fall abkaufen.“ </p><p>Dass sich die AfD als Interessenvertretung von Arbeitern zu inszenieren versucht, sieht der DGB mit Sorge. Nach den Politikfeldern Migration und Außenpolitik ist die Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik das wichtigste Themenfeld der Partei, wie sich beispielsweise an der gestellten Zahl von Kleinen Anfragen zu diesem Komplex zeigt: Von November 2017 bis Juni 2018 waren es 34, im ersten Halbjahr 2019 stieg die Zahl auf 57. Und im zweiten Halbjahr wurden nach einer Statistik der Gewerkschaft von der AfD bereits weitere 29 Anfragen zu sozialpolitischen Themen gestellt. Oft geschieht das mit fremdenfeindlichem Unterton, wenn beispielsweise nach der Gewährung von Sozialleistungen an ausländische Staatsangehörige gefragt wird.</p><div class="ts-zr12qtz ts-right" id="urban-medrect2" style="display: none;">

<h3>Gewerkschafts-Männer wählen überproportional die AfD</h3><p>Partiell hat diese AfD-Strategie offenbar durchaus Erfolg, wie sich laut DGB-Analyse auch an den Ergebnissen der Landtagswahlen Sachsen und Brandenburg zeigt. Der Anteil der Arbeiter unter den AfD-Wählern lag in beiden Bundesländern bei mehr als einem Drittel. Gewerkschafter wählten etwa ebenso häufig die AfD wie die Wähler im Gesamtdurchschnitt. Und besonders gut verfängt die Ansprache der rechtsradikalen Partei bei Gewerkschafts-Männern. In Sachsen stimmten sie zu 34,1 Prozent für die AfD, von den Gewerkschafterinnen waren es nur 18 Prozent. Nicht ganz so deutlich ist die Differenz in Brandenburg: 26,9 Prozent der Gewerkschaftsmänner stimmten dort für die AfD, und nur 16,8 Prozent der Gewerkschaftsfrauen. Landesweit war die AfD in Sachsen auf 27,5 Prozent gekommen, in Brandenburg auf 23,5 Prozent.</p><figure itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="image" class="ts-article-element ts-left ts-type-image"><a class="ts-link ajaxify" data-command="openLayer" data-param="/ajaxentry/cache/imagelightbox?elementId=25079044" href='/images/80028551/25079044/2-format43.jpg' title='Bild vergrößern'><div class="ts-media"><img src="/images/80028551/25079044/2-format3001.jpg?inIsFirst=false" alt="DGB-Vorstandsmitglied Annelie Buntenbach" itemprop="contentURL" /></div></a><figcaption itemprop="caption description"><small class="ts-credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">Foto: Markus Scholz/dpa</small></figcaption></figure><p>Der DGB beobachtet auch, dass die AfD die Strukturumbrüche in vielen Regionen und Branchen gezielt für sich nutzt - nicht nur in der Automobilindustrie, sondern zum Beispiel auch in den Kohleregionen. „Auf viele für die deutsche Wirtschaft wichtige Branchen – beispielsweise Energie und Verkehr – kommt ein riesiger Wandel zu“, sagt die DGB-Funktionärin Buntenbach: „Die Ängste vor Strukturbrüchen, Jobverlust und sozialem Abstieg versuchen die Rechtspopulisten in den Betrieben und der Arbeitnehmerschaft für sich zu nutzen.“ Gezielt angesprochen werden auch <a href="/politik/braune-staatsdiener-rechtsradikale-in-sicherheitsbehoerden-bedrohen-die-demokratie/25010400.html" target="_self">Beschäftigte in Uniform</a>, beispielsweise Polizisten oder Soldaten.

<p>Auf das Wahlverhalten hat sich das zuletzt offenbar ausgewirkt, wie der DGB analysierte. In der Oberlausitz rund um Bautzen und Görlitz, einer von einem Aus bei der Kohleverstromung betroffenen Region, wurde besonders häufig rechts gewählt, die Debatte um einen wirksamen Klimaschutz nutzte der Partei. „Eine AfD, die den durch Menschen verursachten Klimawandel bestreitet, hat sich hier als vermeintlicher Retter von Arbeitsplätzen angeboten.“ </p><p>Ähnlich sah es in Brandenburg in den Regionen im Süden des Bundeslandes aus, die mit dem Kohleausstieg zu kämpfen haben. <a href="/politik/50-5-prozent-fuer-die-afd-heinersbrueck-besuch-im-dorf-der-abgehaengten/23968788.html" target="_self">In Heinersbrück</a>, das von der Schließung des Kraftwerks Jänschwalde betroffen ist, kam die AfD auf 50,5 Prozent. In anderen <a href="/politik/abwanderung-fuehrt-zu-protestwahl-wer-zurueckbleibt-waehlt-oftmals-die-afd/24958316.html" target="_self">als „abgehängt“ geltenden Regionen</a> wie der Uckermark habe die Partei nicht so gut abgeschnitten.</p><div class="ts-recommendation">

Why I Don't Have to Make Up Characters
So people who've read my book always say "you have the funniest characters. How do you make them up?" Simple answer, I don't. Check out this photo of my cousin Leslie and her husband, Charles. Could be a Maylene Thibodeaux in the making???
I warned Leslie that if she sent photos, they became my property and might wind up on my blog. I guess I'll be nice enough to tell you they're dressed for a Halloween party.
At least, I'm pretty sure they are...........

Louisiana Revisited
Good morning, everyone! I'm back in Dallas and happy to say, back in my own bed. My back may never be the same. Here's a brief look at my fast trip to Louisiana.
Thursday evening - drove to my parent's house in Mineola. It's about an hour and 45 minute drive. It rained bugs on the way. Why does it always rain bugs in the country????
Friday morning - got up bright and early, had breakfast with parents and we all headed out to Louisiana. Mom and I in my car - dad in his truck. He wanted to buy shrimp while we were down south, hence the need for two vehicles.
Friday 1:00 - drove 4 1/2 hours to arrive in Lousiana. Hotel room is not ready, so we decide to pay a visit to my aunt and uncle. Just when we are thinking about grabbing some lunch, my uncle (who is 75) decides it would be a fine idea to ride a bicycle and walk a dog - at the same time. Do I even have to tell you where this one is going?????? You got it - straight to the emergency room. One broken nose later, uncle was back home, me and the parents had eaten the last dregs of the Mr. Gatti's buffet and mom and I were on our way for errands. Visited Sulphur library (town I grew up in) and I donated a couple of copies of Rumble. Went by Wal-Mart - they were sold out of Rumble (Yeah!) Went to Lake Charles to mall and signed the one copy of Rumble they had in stock - had sold the rest (Yeah again!). Went by another Walmart, found four copies left out of ten, my mom bought two. She keeps remembering people she needs to send book to.
Friday night - met my best friend from elementary through college and her husband for dinner and catching up. Essentially, the same people who were snotty when we were in school are now snotty adults with snotty kids. The people who were raising hell when we were kids are still raising hell, but now without the benefits of being minors.
Saturday morning - had breakfast, met family to pick up local newspapers from when they ran feature about me and book, got ready and headed to booksigning. According to what other authors tell me about sales at booksignings, I had a pretty good event (sold 23 copies), but Good God, do you have any idea how boring it is to sit there while strangers try to figure out how to walk by your table and avoid eye contact??????
Finish booksigning and load up car, eat lunch, change into sweats and get on the road again. Arrive Mineola about 8:00 pm. Spend night with parents so I don't have to drive in dark with raining bugs. Leave early next morning and head home to Dallas where I collapse in my chair/ottoman. Made sure I did nothing - I mean absolutely nothing that remotely related to writing for the rest of the day. :)

Suicidal Bunnies
For those of you who read this blog regularly, you know I moved to a new neighborhood earlier this year. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet and circles around part of this enormous park - trust me on the enormous part. I walked my dog there one morning soon after moving, got lost, and finally found my way back to my house an hour and a half later. Now when you live so close to a heavily wooded area, there are all kinds of critters around. But here's the interesting thing - I don't ever see rabbits in the park, only in the neighborhood. My next door neighbors tell me one lives in their back yard.
I wondered about that for a while until my other neighbors told me coyotes live in the park. Well, that explains it. The rabbits moved to the subarbs to escape the coyotes.
So there is this one rabbit who likes to hang out at the house at the end of my alley. Every morning, I exit the alley, turn onto the street and start looking for this rabbit. Why? Because he's suicidal. I swear this rabbit sits in that yard until my car turns out of the alley, he carefully times my speed and distance, then dashed into the street just when I would splat him if I hadn't been watching for him in the first place. Hence, the name Suicidal Bunnies.
So why in the world is this relevant to anything? I'm going to tell you. I just finished judging a contest where several of the entries were obviously written by Suicidal Bunnies. It was the ST/Maintstream catagory yet not one entry was high concept. Most lacked the basics of grammer (but some of the misplaced modifiers made for VERY interesting sentences). One had a length of 70k and one had a synopsis written in past tense.
I'm not trying to be hard on people, but the things I've listed above are necessary knowledge if you're wanting to pursue a ST career. Which begs the question: Writing is hard. Why would anyone take the time to write at all without bothering to learn the "rules" of writing?
I've heard all the excuses - I don't have the time to learn the industry (fine, but the industry will never be bothered with you, I promise), I live in a small town and don't have access to a writer's group (there are tons of writer's groups on the internet not to mention everything you ever wanted to know about the industry), I don't want to have critique partners, someone might steal my idea (reality check - if someone steals an idea that low concept and poorly written, they are not going to sell it either).
So why do people insist on running out in the street in front of cars? I've got an idea about the bunny. I think faced with a life of battling either soccer moms, their kids and yappy dogs or the big, bad coyotes in the park, he's decided it would be much easier to pass on to a better place. I'm just honking up his plan with my defensive driving.
So what about the contest contenders? Are they too, trying to commit suicide rather than face the coyotes in New York? Is a low score on a contest entry that wasn't researched or well planned, their "out" for saying I gave it a try and it didn't work for me. Or does society have a rash of American Idol contestants - you know the ones. The people who are so horrible and actually think they can sing - without any training, without any practice, without bothering to learn.
Storytelling is in the bones, but everyone had to learn technique - Nora, Jenny, etc - none were immune to writing a grammatically correct manuscipt that was the right word length and had a concept with conflict strong enough to carry a 100k novel.
So aspiring writers - PLEASE take the time to learn the craft. And here's a little hint: you should never stop learning. Also, remember that learning the craft takes time - years of time. Do not insult the very people you love to read by thinking you can sit down and rip off a saleble novel in six weeks when it took them years to achieve their success.

Posting Bail
If anyone out there knows how to post bail, I'd appreciate an email. You see, I'm afraid that one day I'm going to need the knowledge to bail out certain members of my family. Read this email I received from a reader and you'll understand why - and probably have a good laugh:
"I just wanted to let you know how much I liked your book. I was a Wal Mart one day looking for a new book and a man walked up and ask me what kind of books I liked to read, then he started telling me his daughter just wrote her first book and showed me where it was and gave me a bookmark, I would have never even picked it up because of the cover(I don't know why but I wouldn't have] anyway please tell him thank you . I really look forward to another book from you. "
So I guess you've gotten the gist of it - my dad has been out hardselling my book in the local (and sometimes unlocal) Walmarts. He's also done it at B&N and he's not alone. My husband and brother have done the same thing.
Not that I'm complaining - heck they're gaining me readers and people who even like the book enough to write and tell me about it (and thank my dad, no less). But one of these days, I'm certain one of them will talk to the wrong woman and she's going to file a harassment charge.
That's where the posting bail part comes in.

The Best of the Best
When I finally decided to come to life again on Sunday, Another 48 Hours was showing on one of the cable channels and I caught myself watching it again. Which then go me to thinking about how much I love Eddie Murphy, but not so much now, as Eddie Murphy then. Which then led me to thinking that for everyone I really like (singers, actors, etc) there is that one thing they did which I always think of as their "best."
So for Eddie, it's 48 Hours. Sorry, Eddie, I know you did the movie when you were like, 21 and you're much older now, but there's something about that movie that caught me and always will. It's the combination of the classy criminal versus the sorta white-trash policeman. The combo of Eddie and Nick Nolte was perfect. It MADE the movie great. Sure, Beverly Hills Cop was a great movie, but it still wasn't 48 Hours.
An actor who reminds me a lot of early Eddie Murphy is Will Smith. Now, granted, he's the much more polished version of Eddie, but it's the expressions on their faces when faced with the indignencies of the situations they're in that creates the same emotion in me - usually laughter. They both do it so well and no one else has ever done it like them. At least not according to me. Take Eddie in The Golden Child, all hacked off that he's been called to save humanity - facing death at almost every turn but still ripping out lines like "now, someone turn on the mother-f'ing lights." (If you remember the movie, you'll get it) Then take Will Smith in Independence Day when he's dragging the alien body in his parachute across the desert and yells "What is that smell?" and starts kicking the thing again. These men are funny. They are both able to convince me that given extraordinary situations, even faced with death, they still have the ability to make a joke. And they pull it off. Now that's comedic talent.
Then there's the books. I was a huge Stephen King fan from junior high through college, but there is one SK book that always stands out among King fans and that's The Stand. Now, my understanding is that SK finds it a bit depressing that people think his best book was written like 20 years ago, but c'mon, I bet if Tolkien was still alive he wouldn't be bitching about The Lord of the Rings.
Which then, of course, begs the question for every writer - how do I find that best of the best in me? Or (god forbid) what if I already wrote it and everything else will pale in comparison. I'm sure M. Night Shamalyn and Quinten Tarentino thought they were going to have glowing and illustrious careers after The Sixth Sense and Pulp Fiction, but has anything else they've done even come close to living up to those two works?
So who's your best of the best - actor or writer - and why.

The Weekend CliffNotes
The weekend was great and I'm exhausted. Everyone seemed to have a good time at the book launch party. I sold fifty books and signed about 80 altogether, so that's a few people reading Rumble, which is great news. Also, several of the attendees told me it is sold out in some of the places they went looking, so that is good news also. The food was good (thank God, because cheap certainly didn't enter into the equation), and the room was very nice. My mom and I did the table decorations with a Mardi Gras color theme for the whole Louisiana effect. It turned out quite nice.
The literacy signing on Sunday seemed to go well. I don't know how much money was raised, but the attendees seemed to enjoy the event. Again, the food was great, the speakers entertaining and most left with some books in hand. Hopefully, it was a good enough turnout for the event to continue.
I went home after the literacy signing, ate pizza and fell asleep in my chair. I had a million things I needed to do, but didn't get a darn one done.
I think I've washed the same load of laundry five times now. One of these days, I'm going to remember to hang it up or put it in the dryer. (sigh)
But it's a new week and I have three days of opportunity to get it done as I leave Thursday evening for Louisiana for a book signing (Saturday) back in my hometown.

Busy Weekend Ahead
So it's Friday and normally I would be shouting Yeah! even though I haven't had a true weekend off since, well, since I don't know when. But this weekend is even busier than usual.
Tomorrow morning I have to wake up bright and early, take care of all errands, then head out with my mom, dad and hubby to start decorating a room at a local convention centre for my book launch party. The party starts at 7:30, but we don't know how much decor the room will take, so we have to start early in case we need to buy more. It's a two-stage decorating process. I'm really looking forward to the party as I will get to see some relatives I haven't seen in forever and all my friends will be there to celebrate the launch. Altogether, I'm figuring on about a hundred people. At least, I hope it's only a hundred as that's what I catered for :)
Then Sunday, I do my first official booksigning event. It's called Buns & Roses and it's a tea and booksigning with the proceeds going to charity. Check out the website. A bunch of great authors will be there and I'm really excited about doing something like this. Even though I will NOT be wearing a hat.
When all that excitement is over, I have a mere three days to get myself together to go out of town the following Thursday night to stay with my parents, then head out the next day to Louisiana, where I'll be doing a booksigning in Lake Charles (nearest town with a bookstore to my hometown of Carlyss). It will be at the Books-A-Million starting at noon, so come out and join me if you're in the area.
And of course, at some point and time in this whirlwind, I kinda need to write my next book - you know, the one I accepted a contract on. But don't worry, Leah (my awesome editor who lurks on my blog), UNLUCKY will be on time and fabulous. I'm telling myself that at least fifty tmes a day. :)
Have a great weekend, all!!!!

The Bathroom Wars
There's a bathroom war going on at my job. It's not an all-out declaration of war, but many of us are in on a subversive movement. It involves the ladies room and the cleaning schedule.
Now, don't get me wrong - I'm thrilled to work for a company that actually has full-time janitorial staff that clean things during the day. My problem however, is the times they decide to clean. There are two bathrooms on the first floor - one on the training side of the building - one on the other, and it requires the use of a security badge to cross from one side of the building to the other side.
Not only do we train at client's sites, but we do a lot of training at our facility. We have three training rooms and a good-sized auditorium for these events. Class schedules are the same for every trainer, no matter what software you're teaching. Class starts at 9:00, ends at 4:00. Morning break is 10:15-10:30, afternoon break is 2:15-2:30, lunch is 11:45-1:00. We may be a little off (a bit before of after), but for the most part, everyone sticks to the schedule.
And that's where the bathroom war comes in. Inevitably, at around 10:14, 2:14 and 12:50, the janitorial lady will block the bathroom door with her plastic "do not enter" sign so that she can clean the bathroom. So we're either on all of a 15 minute break or rushing in from lunch and she thinks we all need to cross the building to pee. Not only that, but apparently our clients are supposed to cross the building to pee also. Which is an interesting thought, since one, they don't even know where the bathroom is across the building and two, remember the security badge statement from above - they can't even get over there to look.
Which begs the question - is it intentional?
One would not like to think so, but c'mon, training revenue and staff are a huge part of the company's budget - hasn't someone else noticed this problem besides me? Not only that, can anyone tell me why the entire bathroom should be closed for her to restock toilet paper or swish a toilet? She can't do them all at one time so what's the big deal?
So the subversive part of the war is that all the employees started ignoring the sign. Yes, that's right, we push right past the plastic "do not enter," some of us even letting the door slam shut on it (perhaps in the hopes of permanently destroying it?). The cleaning lady always looks peaved, but I'm beyond caring. After all, she's not required to "go" on a schedule and even if she was, she spends enough time in the restroom to get away with a few extra trips.
ADDITIONAL INFO: I forgot until I arrived at work this morning - she also leaves the toilet seats up after cleaning???????
Next up may be a covert mission to clean out the refrigerator. Stay tuned.

Courtroom Drama
So I'll go ahead and admit it - I love those cheesy courtroom shows that run during the day. My favorite is Judge Mathis - he's sharp, funny and doesn't cut anyone any slack - ever! My husband records him during the day and we watch it at night. Judge Mathis' intro even says "the people are real, the cases are real....." And that's where the scary part comes in.
1. Why do people get cell phones for other people? Hello! You can get a prepaid phone if your credit is that bad. Why in the world do people think someone with credit so bad they can't get a cell phone is actually going to give them the money for the bill. At least 70% of the cases I see involve a cell phone bill as all or part of the settlement. Sometimes it's a cell phone for a family member or boyfriend/girlfriend. Sometimes it's for a co-worker and her son (huh?) All these people are adults, mind you.
2. In the cases of owing money, almost every single time someone was supposed to pay "when they got their tax refund." These people treat the IRS like Bank of America. Why the heck are you paying in all year to get money back? The IRS is investing your money in the meantime while you could have the money in your pocket paying off bills monthly and not creating Judge Mathis court cases for default.
But last night was the clincher. A guy sued his girlfriend for destruction of property because he was hoochying with women on stage in a club (he's in a band). The girlfriend took a knife to his guitar and admitted it. What the boyfriend failed to admit is that he dumped her clothes in the bathtub after the guitar incident and poured bleach on them. His argument was that he had paid for the clothes. The girlfriend said once he gave them to her they were a gift and therefore, hers. So the judge asks the guy if he bought the clothes for her. And he gave the most classic line I've ever heard by someone who knows they're losing and is still reaching. He said "She was given authority to wear them."
I almost fell off the couch. Like anyone's going to buy off on that one. The clothes are mine but she had permission to wear them. Pleeeeaaassseeee. Hell, he couldn't even say it without laughing. But you have to give him points for creativity.

Why Some Men Will Never Have It Good
So I don't know if everyone has heard the scuttlebutt about this silly politician in Texas. His stupidity has made it round a lot of writers loops, but I couldn't resist posting about the idiot. Now, I want to be upfront in saying - this is NOT about politics. I don't ever, EVER discuss politics except with very close friends and family. And I also want to say that I pretty much think all politicians are liars and thieves. Normally, I stay out of the fray entirely, but this time a politician attacked me personally because he called his opponent (a published romance author) a writer of porn.
Check out what the idiot has on his website.
Can someone please tell me why in the world this porn opinion still exists? I simply don't get it. And although I said it wasn't about party, I am a little suprised that this is coming from a Democrat. A devoutly religious Republican, I could have understood a little better, although both still would have been WRONG and STUPID.
So I guess Fred Head's opinion is that woman shouldn't enjoy sex because it's pornographic? Or maybe we just shouldn't talk or write about enjoying sex because it's pornographic?
Maybe the real problem is that women who've been with Fred have never enjoyed it therefore he doesn't want them to find out what they're missing.
And that my friends, is why some men will never, EVER have it good. Not from a woman, anyway.

Monday Movie Review
So I got a chance to see a movie - in an actual theater - this weekend. I don't make it very often anymore. Busy, busy, busy. And if you read my blog, you already know that I absolutely love horror movies. Even B horror. So I was happy that The Grudge 2 was releasing and my husband and I went to see it Saturday night.
Friday/Saturday night are the best times to see horror movies because all the high school kids go and it's fun to hear them scream. It's sorta like getting additional entertainment out of the movie. But in this case, the screams sooooooooooo did not make up for the crappiness of this movie.
Let's start with:
1. If you are going to hop around within location and time, do it right. If you're not sure how to do it right, watch Pulp Fiction and take notes.
2. If you are going to have multiple storylines going within the same film, do not have all your characters look alike. One sixteen year-old skinny girl with long brown hair looks like any other. I kept trying to figure out - now which one is this - is it the friend of the cheerleader or the geek that was tortured. Anyway, I simply don't want to think that hard at the movies.
3. Apparently, the screenwriters didn't want to think very hard either. The plot of this movie was non-existent. I've seen more plot and character arc from dirt.
4. In all movies - but especially in horror - at least one person needs to remain alive at the end. Otherwise, why would anyone give a s%$#??????
Do yourself a favor - save your money and rent something better - maybe an old Stephen King.

Payment for Services Rendered
It's been a little over a week since the official release day for Rumble. When I first started writing I set a goal and established a reason why I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to write because books had given me so much pleasure over my lifetime and I wanted to give back and be part of what I see as a magical process. I went on to say that if I could change even one person's reality - if only for a couple of hours - then I was successful.
I've gotten quite a few emails from readers in the past week and wanted to share some of their comments with you:
"Congradulations on you first book and I look forward to many more. I am 58, an avid reader and this is the first time I have ever contacted an author, but you book was so enjoyable and I know an instant success. Good luck to you and all your endeavors."
"Just finished this book this morning!! Great book!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed Rumble - it made me laugh. Who could not laugh at Maylene?? I loved everything about this book. I love books set in Lousiana, I've always wanted to go down to the bayous. (You'd think living in Miss. I'd of made it by now). Anyway, I think you've got a winner on your hands - you go on my auto buy list!! Hope you've got another coming soon. Have a great fall."
"Your book is awesome, I could not put it down. It gripped with the first sentence and never stopped from there. the flow is excellent and you never know what is going to happen next."
Okay, this next one is the real kicker. Totally made me cry.
"I'm already telling everybody about your book. Told atleast 3 people already today and I haven't even left the house! Honestly we lost our 10 year old son 2 years ago so this month is really depressing for me but reading RUMBLE ON THE BAYOU had me laughing and able to lose myself in an alternate reality for just a little while. You have a real gift!"
Accepted - Payment in Full
Houston, We Have Wal-Mart Sightings
It's finally official - Rumble has been seen in Wal-Mart! It was loitering, but hey, it's there. I knew back in July that Wal-Mart's distributer had "bought in" on Rumble but was starting to worry when the release date came and people went to Wal-Mart - no Rumble. But I'm happy to report that a cousin in Louisiana reported a sighting yesterday, a friend in Kansas bought it in Wal-mart yesterday and I saw six copies this morning in the Wal-Mart close to my office. Yea!!!!!
For those of you who don't know, having your book in Wal-Mart is a big deal. There are a lot of towns/cities in this country. A whole lot of them do not have bookstores - very few of them lack a Wal-Mart. So distribution to Wal-Mart increases your sales potential by a great amount. Some writers have even reported to me to Wal-Mart sales represent almost 40% of their total.
So all you Wal-Mart shoppers - go forth for great deals and a copy of Rumble on the Bayou (discounted, of course). :)

So I finally broke down and did it - created a myspace page. I know, I know. Like I have any time in the world to be learning more html OR making friends. But so many of my writing buds were on there that I decided to take the plunge, do things as simply as I could and establish a sorta presence.
Well, I haven't been live three days and I've already received an invitation to join some hot single sexy group - you don't even want to see the picture that came with the offer.
Which begs the question - wasn't myspace originally a teen environment?
So why do I feel like I just put my foot into the next biggest porn club on the internet? And my bio clearly says I'm married - which begs the "single" portion of the invitation altogether. There's a picture of my with my cat, Vinnie, in the photos and I would think that would negate the "sexy" portion of the invitation. Not to mention, that if these people take any cues at all from astrological signs, I'm a Virgo.
So do you myspace? If so, what's the strangest invitation you've gotten?

Movies on a Plane
So I've been taking the portable dvd player with me when I travel so I can watch movies on the plane. It seems to pass time faster than reading which means I only notice how uncomfortable I am every ten minutes and not every five. I decided to go back to the beginning of the X-Files and start rewatching them from Season 1 so I could go through to the end. I need the refresher because I kinda fell off watching once DD left but now I want to know how it all ends and can't really remember all the conspiracy so I'm reviewing. And loving it.
Unfortunately, on this last trip, I thought I had one cd left to go in Season 1, which would have been plenty for the two legs of the trip, but I was mistaken. Turns out disk 7 was all director commentary. Argh! And I'm left with a 3 hour flight ahead of me and no movie. So I headed to Best Buy and went to searching. My husband has an extraordinary dvd collection, so it's hard to pick up something we don't already have, so my visit took a while and several phone calls to avoid duplication.
I finally picked up a movie I should have already watched but just hadn't gotten around to - Secret Window. I love Stephen King, love LOVE LOVE Johnny Depp, and I am a writer, but I hadn't managed to watch this movie. So I bought it.
SPOILER: Here's my problem - I kinda thought it was cool that he killed his wife and her lover. I figure they had it coming. Now, I think it's absolutely impossible he could have gotten away with it. I mean, after all, corn doesn't grow overnight. So two people disappear, in the middle of a divorce settlement, and all of a sudden the soon-to-be-ex-husband has decided to turn dirt in his back yard and no one checked????? Not likely. And I have to admit that I knew by the second scene with the "killer" that it was all in Johnny's mind and he was actually the bad guy.
So did you see Secret Window? If so, what did you think about it?

Got High Concept
So there's buzz all over the industry about high concept. Do you have it - got to have it - better get it if you want to sell. And they're not lying. High concept is necessary for a sale, particularly in the single title market place.
So why then, is it that something that's so important can hardly be explained?
I've been to workshops, read articles and listened to people talk about high concept. I still don't have a good way to explain it to anyone else. I write high concept and I know it when the idea comes or when I read it in anyone else's work, but I can't define it.
For people who write on a professional level, you think we'd have a good way of communicating something so important to our industry. But I don't have the words.
What about you? Do you understand high concept? Can you explain it in a couple of sentences? I'd love to hear them if you can.

It's Friday - yea!!!!!! I am tired this week. Guess it's all this book launch work - or maybe the real work (ie day job). Or maybe it's just knowing I need to do laundry. Regardless, I'm glad it's almost the weekend.
I got a great blog post yesterday from blog reader, alexandra, who is an aspiring writer and a high school student. Impressive, right? I thought so. Here's what she said:
"I just read Rumble on the Bayou--one of the best books I've read this year " - alexandra
So my Friday has started off with a bang.
Several of my friends have been chatting around the loops and blogsphere lately about stress and what you do to relieve it and what you read at those times. I think the topic is a good one and deserves a bit of discussion.
When I am not in rough draft mode, I read up new releases like mad, trying to get as many as possible in before I have to be in "creative mode" again. When I'm writing a rough draft, I don't like to read anything remotely close to my genre because I don't want it to influence my voice. Also, I am usually so focused on my work that I don't want to spend the energy it takes to focus on another single title work, so I usually skip them altogether when in rough draft.
So what do I read - depends on the day. If it's a regular day - normal stress and anxiety, I pick up category books during rough draft stage. It's a new read but a low-key one, especially since you can narrow down exactly what you want to absorb by category line. Usually any line with a cowboy on the front does it for me. :)
If the day is high stress and I don't even want to think about anything new, I pick up the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and reread for probably the 100th time since childhood. I love these books. The times they lived in were so much more basic - you worked to live, period. And their appreciation for the smallest things always makes me rethink my life and get happier with where I am. The books are both comforting and humbling all at the same time and I think sometimes I need to "take it back to basics" and remember what is important.
So what about you? Do you have different books for different stages of your life? If so, what are they?

Finally - Another Sale!!!!!!!!!
The deal was done yesterday and it's now official - I will be publishing another book with Dorchester!!!!
I am thrilled to work with my fabulous editor, Leah Hultenschmidt, again. She is a doll! So smart and so supportive, has incredible vision for her products and is a joy to work with.
Yeah for me!!!!!!
The new work is entitled UNLUCKY (we'll have to see if that sticks) and it's about a heroine with a voodoo curse on her who needs to make 10k fast and agrees to be a cooler at her uncle's casino. She has a run-in with an undercover FBI agent who needs the players to stay at the table - not lose and leave - and he's less than impressed with her cooling ability. It's another funny, sexy romp in the bayou.

Day After Release Day
So I spent my official release day training accountants then flying back from Irvine, but hey, Rumble's out and that's all that matters!
A couple of new items:
My friend, Kelly Parra, does fabulous interviews with authors and this month she's posted an interview with me - check it out!
My Booklist review came in last week, but I am woefully behind on posting. Here's what it said:
"The worst crime Deputy Dorie Berenger usually faces in Gator Bait is Maylene Thibodeux weaving about with too much liquor in her and too few clothes on her. This time Maylene's troubles herald events far more serious. An alligator winds up in her pool stoned on heroine, and the drug trail leads to Gator Bait itself with big-city DEA Agent Richard Starke hot on the trail. Funny thing is, there could be an even bigger problem: Dorie's feeling pretty hot for Agent Starke. Part of the growing romantic mystery genre, in which romance and mystery tie the knot with chick-lit's blessing, this debut novel is chock-full of quirky small-town characters and
an entertaining, offbeat love story. The mystery pulls its weight, taking readers on a ride as intriguing and wild as a flat-bottom-boat race in the bayou. "
Nina Davis
My review is up on Romance Reviews today. Check it out.
My new contest for the Dooney is up on FreshFiction and my friend Ally Carter blogged about Rumble's release yesterday! Thanks Ally!
That's all I can think of for now and a mountain of paperwork from the last two weeks of training awaits me. (sigh) More later!
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
It finally arrived - official release day!!! Rumble on the Bayou is on sale now! (and somewhat before). I can't tell you how excited I am so I'm not even going to try.
So many things are going on, it's hard to remember to share them all, but I'll do my best to keep everyone updated.
First off, I got my first official fan email yesterday from a complete stranger. She read Rumble in one day and loved it! I am thrilled that people take the time to write and say these things. No one (outside of other writers) believes we have the most incredibly fragile egos when it comes to our own work. God himself could come down from the heavens and bestow his blessing on our work and we're still going to sweat an RT review.
Second, I am a little miffed at the mapping system on the internet. I spent 2 hours last night trying to find bookstores to sign more in-store stock to no avail. And let me tell you, the traffic going from Orange County to LA is ridiculous. I could have walked faster. It took me 45 minutes to go 2 miles! Then both sets of directions lead my right into the middle of a residential neighborhood. No bookstore in sight! I was so frustrated the second time, I just decided to get something to eat and call it a day. I am seriously thinking about using my AmEx travel points to get a mobile GPS system, though. Or just buy one - heck it's a tax deduction if I'm using it to find bookstore, right? :)
On a more pleasant front - I am the featured author of the month on The Romance Reader Connection. Check out my interview here.
My friends, Colleen and Diana blogged about me yesterday - lubs ya much!
And finally, the official contest for the Dooney & Bourke bag has begun. Register for my newsletter to be entered to win. If you've already registered, you're already entered. No need to do it twice. Here's a pic of the bag. Isn't it gorgeous?
I'm sure there's a million things I'm forgetting but it's time for breakfast and I am starving! More tomorrow!
Update to previous post: People are selling my book on ebay. How funny is that? Check out this link and see the woman's comments. I need to get her as a PR person.

Likes Books
So obviously I like to read. Kinda a given if I'm willing to put myself through the ringer trying to write, eh? And I figure my blog readers like to read or they wouldn't give a hoot what I have to say. And my friends like to read, a lot of my family and miscellaneous people I see in the airport (most of whom now have my bookmark).
So this is something I don't understand.
I've been visiting bookstores as I travel around the country and I get a completely mixed response from some of them. Before release, I introduced myself, explained about my book and asked if they would like promo material - booklets, bookmarks, etc and how many if they were interested. Then I either provided them right there or mailed if it was early on and I didn't have my stock yet.
Now that the book is on the shelves some places, I've been visiting bookstores and asking to sign in-store stock. My understanding from industry people is that this is the preferred method of gaining autographed copies rather than wasting everyone's time and money on a booksigning for an unknown author when, like two copies of the book might sell and you just sat there for half an afternoon.
But my experience with booksellers has been remarkably different. Some have been polite and businesslike - retrieved stock, I signed, they stickered, we shook hands and I was off. Some were excited and happy to have an author in the store and get autographed copies (I have to say, these are my favorites since face-to-face sales is the hardest thing for me). Then there are the ones I don't understand. The other day I introduced myself to a clerk at an information desk, asked to sign there stock (if they had it) and she actually looked at me like I had just told her I had the flu and took a step back from the counter. Finally, she went off to ask the manager something, then came back with a card for someone I needed to contact M-F between the hours of 8:00 and 5:00 in order to sign my books. Yea, because all writers are independently wealthy and we're available during normal work hours. BTW - the manager didn't bother to make an appearance at all.
The worst part was - this is the bookstore in my hometown and I usually shop there. And everywhere else in town and around the country, the same chain has let me sign in-store stock without a qualm.
So their reaction begs the questions - do they even like books? I can understand an hourly wage clerk taking the job for a bit of money and not caring either way about the books, but the manager? Am I being a purist in believing the manager of a bookstore should like to read? Isn't that kind of like thinking a preacher should believe in God?
I believe some things are sacred, like any art form, and should be loved by the people responsible for distributing it. Am I out of my mind? I'm not asking for people to strike up the band, but please don't act like I just asked to distribute the plague either. At RWA, highly respected booksellers have instructed authors to do drive-by signings and said that autographed copies sell better. I didn't make this up - I'm getting my information from leading industry professionals. I'm trying to follow the "rules," I swear!
BTW - I'm in sunny Irvine, CA today and tomorrow and signed SEVEN copies of Rumble last night at the B&N at 13712 Jamboree Rd. Huge store and very nice people!!!!!! So if you're in CA and want a signed copy, head to Irvine.

A Surreal Moment
So I was in Boca Raton last week on a training gig and walked into the local B&N at lunch time for coffee and a new book. I was cruising the "New Paperback Releases" display, rounded one side and there was RUMBLE ON THE BAYOU!!!! I almost fell out. It took like a half-second for it to totally register - one because technically, the book has a lay-down date of October 3rd. Two - it was on a display at the front of the store with bestselling authors!
I was so excited - my first sighting. And did I have a camera - of course not. Why - well, see number one in the prior explanation again. So I introduced myself to a staff member and asked if I could sign the in-store stock. They were excited and I did my first official drive-by signing!
So back at home on Saturday, my husband and I spent the day driving to bookstores. I signed stock and he hustled bookmarks to everyone in walking distance. He even convinced one woman to buy it on the spot. :) If only I could clone him and send him to every bookstore in the US! He is a mega-star at customer relations and sales. I've learned a lot from him, but selling like that is just not in my bones. He's scary good.
One interesting thing, though, and anyone looking for the book please make note. B&N has it shelved as "Fiction." Not romance, not mystery - Fiction? I'm not sure whether this is a good, bad or doesn't matter sort of thing, but that's where you have to look to find it.
I admit, that evening after class in Boca Raton, I DID go buy a disposable camera and go back to the B&N and take a picture of the display. I'm sure people thought I was crazy since the employees I'd spoken to at lunch weren't working any longer, but I didn't care. It was my very first sighting! As soon as I have the film developed, I'll post a picture.
I'm off to Irvine, CA today, so I'll be chatting to you this week from the other end of the US. Nothing like an east-coast to west-coast shift to mess up your internal clock.

CST 8110 - Assignment Ten
Last revised: Thursday, July 3, 1997.
A print-out of this program is due in my assignment box by 13:45pm Monday, July 7.
All assignments are evaluated based on their neatness and how closely they follow the assignment submission guidelines published in the online course notes.
Purpose and Instructions
This program increases your knowledge of how C Language functions are used. You begin by writing your own simple functions to draw ASCII Art figures on the screen, using the Algonquin formatting guidelines from the Blue Book.
1. Read the text, sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. This explains how functions work.
2. Read the Algonquin 8110 Blue Book, pages 33-35. This explains how you must add Algonquin Headers to each of your functions. (See the one-function example program on pages 36-37, too.)
3. Write the following program using functions:
You will combine parts of three examples from the text.
Combine Figure 3.16, a function that writes instructions on the screen, with Figure 3.14, a C program using C language functions that you write yourself, and with Figure 3.7, a program that uses the C Library function sqrt().
Your one combination program should do these three things, in this order:
1. First, show the ASCII Art output using the functions taken from the program in Figure 3.14.
2. Next, use a function to print some prompting instructions on how to enter values for the square root calculations that your program will do in part three, below. Your prompting function should look similar to the function in Figure 3.16. Do not write the program mentioned in Figure 3.16.
3. Do the input, output, and calculations of the square root program copied from Figure 3.7. The prompts for input will be printed by the modified instruct() function from part two, above.
Write one program that does all three things, in the above order. Copy from the figures in the text the relevant parts of each of the examples and put them all into one program. Verify that each of the three parts of your combined program produces the correct output.
Hand in: The source listing of your combination program. No cover page is necessary; your Algonquin program header will have all the required information.
As always, the program must follow Algonquin standards for headers and format. Each function that you write must have its own Algonquin header. The algorithm you design or use to solve the problem in each header must use pseudocode where appropriate.
The aggregate of all assignment marks comprises 25% of your final mark. All assignments must be completed satisfactorily to get credit for the course, even if the assignments are submitted too late to receive a mark. (See the course outline.)
Late assignments are handled according to the policy given in the course outline. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8788400292396545}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '3988', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:SNZ7GJST3SQ6PLP4OJQJSJT2S55TKJ76', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a936f4f8-51e6-4b2a-bef5-7da80c80a7cc>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 22, 22, 16, 44), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.76.80.81', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:RIHL6TH2L3E46XCB44A2XA4D3HHKQKN3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:b8cfc840-5631-43c7-8cd7-ad990577090f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://teaching.idallen.com/cst8110/97s/asst10.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:df500fb0-ad0e-49da-8070-054a0d4a4354>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '466', 'url': 'http://teaching.idallen.com/cst8110/97s/asst10.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-93-171-178.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': '0.08633202314376831', 'original_id': 'b31ad864e0d9c9fe1bfd18070f0c605cf6c91776af7a1cd860bd56abe2947501'} |
Bisons pick up four points in busy three-game stretch
After losing a number of players to suspension after fireworks with the Killam Wheat Kings last week, the Wainwright Jr. ‘B’ Bisons had three games in six nights with a short bench.
But they managed to pick up four of the six possible points in the week with wins over the Lloydminster Bandits and the Onion Lake Border Chiefs.
The Bisons started their busy week with a road matchup against the Wheat Kings, a rematch after a wild game between the two rivals in Wainwright two nights prior. The Killam squad was up to their usual antics against the Bisons, with a myriad of penalties handed out throughout the game.
The Wheat Kings managed to keep it close with the Bisons through two periods, carrying a 3-3 tie into the final frame. But the Bisons gave up the lead with just over two minutes left to play and couldn’t claw their way back, falling 4-3 to the Wheat Kings.
Head coach Adam Huxley said he and his team knew what they were up against heading into Killam expecting much of the same behind-the-play and after-the-whistle extracurriculars they saw in Wainwright the previous game.
“The funny thing is, we go there and they just don’t want to play hockey.
They just want to be the tough team…We went there short staffed, and they played the way they want to play. We actually took the game to them the whole time. We had lots of chances, but just couldn’t score,” Huxley said.
“I can’t complain about the way our guys played. We had ample chances to score, and we carried the play 90 per cent of the game. They ended up with a win, but it’s December, and you don’t win a championship in December. We’ve made some additions to our team, so the next time we play them, it won’t be our skilled guys taking it to them. We’re there to play hockey. If you’re going to beat us by hard work and determination, that’s one thing. But if you’re going to be a sideshow and turn it into a circus, we’re tired of that.”
The next night, the Bisons returned home to host the Bandits. Wainwright made the most of their scoring chances throughout the game, potting nine goals en route to a 9-1 victory.
On Wednesday, the Bisons hit the road again to play in Onion Lake. Traveling with a short bench again, Huxley said he was happy to see some guys step up to lead the team and fill the holes in the lineup well.
The Bisons came out with a 3-2 victory in Onion Lake to improve their record on the season to 17-3.
“They were awesome. I saw a lot of character and resilience in our guys, and I saw some guys really step up. Carson James was huge. He was arguably our MVP these last few games. He’s really playing at another level right now,” Huxley said.
“He’s a guy who took that to heart, and man, he’s stepped up big time. He’s getting more involved as a great player and a great leader on this team.”
With a number of players unavailable the last few games, Huxley said the talent of their associated players and the depth they bring to the team has been a huge boost for the Bisons.
“Our APs are huge. We use our APs more than anybody in the league. When we put them in there, they play in some good situations or really work their way into them. It’s awesome for them to get that experience, becausedown the road if you have injuries in the playoffs and those guys are available, that’s a big difference maker,” Huxley said. He added that some of the first-year Bisons have started making a huge impact at the midseason point.
“Our defence is rock solid, and we’re playing with four defensemen some nights. You look at a guy like Josh Berg and obviously Keenan Scott and Curtis McKinlay, they make things tick back there. On Saturday night, Berg played unreal. He’s come so far this year. He’s really stepped up as a leader here as well.”
The team will hit the road again this weekend, with a couple more road games in Vermilion and Vegreville over the weekend. With plenty of road games through the month of December, Huxley said he is proud of his team for their resilience on the road, picking up big wins to help them keep pace with the league-leading St. Paul Canadiens.
“I just want us to keep playing our game. I want to keep putting bricks on the foundation of this team. These are adverse times, and those bricks are huge. So that’s what we’re doing right now. We’ve been road warriors, and I think we’re going to continue to be that,” he said.
“This weekend is a good test. Vermilion played us really hard last time, and I expect another battle from them. They have a great goalie over there. Then you look at Vegreville, and they had a shaky start against us. But this is two months later, and they’re a different team. That’s how we’ll approach it. We want to come out and just play our game so that we can stay consistent.” | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c1840cddf8b9c218cc5e632c7e88d2ad5c6a58dfa8ce2d43eaf07badff89d3e3'} |
Effects of preceding context on discrimination of voice onset times.
When discriminating pairs of speech stimuli from an acoustic voice onset time (VOT) continuum (for example, one ranging from /ba/ to /pa/), English-speaking subjects show a characteristic performance peak in the region of the phonemic category boundary. We demonstrate that this "category boundary effect" is reduced or eliminated when the stimuli are preceded by /s/. This suppression does not seem to be due to the absence of a phonological voicing contrast for stop consonants following /s/, since it is also obtained when the /s/ terminates a preceding word and (to a lesser extent) when broadband noise is substituted for the fricative noise. The suppression is stronger, however, when the noise has the acoustic properties of a syllable-initial /s/, all else being equal. We hypothesize that these properties make the noise cohere with the following speech signal, which makes it difficult for listeners to focus on the VOT differences to be discriminated. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '35765ddfc2e4d8cce6ac0f30c3d8dfe95e981929b8ac285365e55a443a97c14e'} |
Hi everyone.
Last night the fire alarm went off in my building at 16:00-ish o-clock.
The fire alarm itself is not so bad but my upstairs neighbor (in the same building) seems to have jumped out of bed or something, I don´t know what exactly happened there but there was an avalanche of sound, like a herd of elephants suddenly jumping around.
I have a problem with physical barriers which means that sudden invasive sounds really get to me. The energy of it "gets stuck" in my body which…

Obtaining a student loan is often a helpful way to help pay for college. However, this money is not without cost. You will have to pay this back at some point, with interest. For some ideas on using student loans effectively and wisely, continue reading this useful article.
TIP! Understand the grace period of your loan. This is typically a six to nine month period after your graduation before repayments start.
Keep in mind that there’s a grace period to follow before it’s time to pay a loan back. In order words, find out about when payments are due once you have graduated. Being aware of this will help you get a jump start on payments, which will help you avoid penalties.
TIP! Do not forget about private financing. Public loans are great, but you might need more.
Consider private funding for your college education. Because public loans are so widely available, there’s a lot of competition. Private student loans will have less people getting them, and there will be small funds that go unclaimed because they’re small and people aren’t aware of them. Check your local community for such loans, which can at least cover books for a semester.
Implement a two-step system to repay the student loans. First, ensure you make all minimum monthly payments. Second, make extra payments on the loan whose interest rate is highest, not the loan that has the largest balance. This will cut back on the amount of total interest you wind up paying.
TIP! Don’t panic when you struggle to pay your loans. Job loss and health crises are bound to pop up at one point or another.
Grace Period
TIP! Pay off all your student loans using two steps. First, always make minimum payments each month.
Check the grace period of your student loan. The period should be six months for Stafford loans. Perkins loans offer a nine-month grace period. There are other loans with different periods. Know when you will have to pay them back and pay them on time.
Some people sign the paperwork for a student loan without clearly understanding everything involved. It is essential that you question anything you do not clearly understand. If you do not do this, you may end up paying more than you should for your education.
Fill out each application completely and accurately for faster processing. You might find your paperwork in a stack waiting to be processed when the term begins.
If you need for a student loan and do not have good credit, you may need a cosigner. It is vital that you stay current on your payments. If you get yourself into trouble, your co-signer will be in trouble as well.
TIP! Many people apply for student loans and sign paperwork without really understanding what they are getting into. If something is unclear, get clarification before you sign anything.
Avoid depending on student loans completely for school. Just save your money and try to get as many grants as you can. There are a number of good scholarship matching websites that can help you locate just the right grants and scholarships to suit your needs. Be sure you start to search soon so you’re able to qualify for the best deals.
Remain in contact with whoever is providing the money. It is crucial that they keep in contact with you in case any loan repayment changes take place, and you are not caught off-guard by any new payments. Your lender may also be able to provide you with valuable tips for repayment.
TIP! Keep in mind that your institution of learning may have ulterior motives for steering you toward specific lenders. Schools sometimes allow lenders to refer to the name of the school.
With all of the informative material in this post, you are a step closer to being an expert about student loans! You can successfully navigate through to find the right loan for you. Look over all information pertaining to any loan you’re interested in, and before you know it, you’ll find the one that will be perfect for you. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '419', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9608393311500548}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '21272', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:E4BFK3VCXD7V5YX2MRQ2PH4XAWFS6R7X', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:458cdf88-14b1-4949-b11e-5b45636101fa>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 23, 16, 51, 44), 'WARC-IP-Address': '79.96.12.57', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:TRJWEYARGWFQ4MOJFDQ4Y2Y2CXX2TWTU', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8cd7b8c9-52ec-4d05-9951-e31500ac54fe>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://schoolingtips.eu/student-loans-tips-tricks-and-helpful-hints-youll-find-success-with/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a565d531-8c8b-4128-bfb9-050bbbedc96a>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '910', 'url': 'http://schoolingtips.eu/student-loans-tips-tricks-and-helpful-hints-youll-find-success-with/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-185-224-210.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-22\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.030910015106201172', 'original_id': 'ddaaa53d177af5aa39942df05e04f07c441290290dd9191df033b72d03d27fc5'} |
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a process for crystal growth of III-V group compound semiconductor containing a compound semiconductor crystal layer of high electric resistance.
2. Description of the Related Art
Electronic devices using a compound semiconductor must have an electric resistance between elements as large as possible in order to prevent a malfunction and a breakdown caused by leakage current between elements.
Progress in integration degree, however, makes narrower the distance between electronic elements and consequently the electric leakage tends to occur between the elements.
Reliable insulation (isolation) between elements can achieve high performance and high integration simultaneously. Therefore, it has been desired strongly to develop a process for growing a compound semiconductor crystal layer enabling such reliable insulation between elements.
To satisfy the above desire, it has been conducted to grow a crystal layer of high electric resistance by crystal growth using molecular beam epitaxy (hereinafter referred to as MBE, in some cases), metal organic chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter referred to as MOCVD, in some cases) or the like.
The processes employed conventionally to grow a crystal layer of high electric resistance include a process of doping an AlGsAs layer with a dopant such as oxygen, a transition metal or the like. It is known that oxygen or a transition metal forms a deep level in the forbidden band of a semiconductor. Therefore, by forming a deep level of said element in a large amount in an Al-containing crystal by utilizing the high activity of Al to said element, a crystal layer of high electric resistance can be grown in said crystal. As the specific processes to grow a crystal layer of high electric resistance, there are known, for example, a process using oxygen gas as an oxygen dopant; a process using, as an oxygen dopant, an organometallic compound having an aluminum atom-oxygen atom direct bond [Japanese Patent Application Kokai (Laid-Open) No. 1-220432]; and a process using, as a dopant, an organometallic compound having an aluminum atom-oxygen atom direct bond or an organometallic compound containing a transition metal [Japanese Patent Application Kokai (Laid-Open) No. 3-22519].
However, when oxygen gas is used as a dopant, oxygen tends to remain in the reaction furnace owing to the high reactivity, which may invite the oxygen incorporation into the upper crystal layer right on the high resistance layer and the consequent deterioration of crystal quality. Hereinafter, that "oxygen tends to remain" is referred to as "a large effect of oxygen remaining" and that "oxygen is unlikely to remain" is referred to as "a small effect of oxygen remaining", in some cases.
When an organometallic compound having an aluminum atom-oxygen atom direct bond is used as an oxygen dopant, there has been a problem that oxygen concentration and aluminum concentration cannot be controlled independently. Further, since the organo-metallic compound generally contains a dimer and a trimer each having a vapor pressure different from that of the monomer, there has also been a problem that the vaporization behavior of the compound is unstable and it is impossible to obtain a given oxygen concentration continuously.
An object of the present invention is to provide a process for growing a compound semiconductor crystal layer having a high electric resistance, by the use of a dopant which enables the independent controls of oxygen concentration and aluminum concentration and which has a small effect of oxygen remaining. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'aae2553f2ace6fa53f7fd8b06efb234394a1437e96a27a47f9467078f12d15bc'} |

Critical Issues Discussed in the Book
Innovation is difficult to measure, identify, quantify and develop until after it has been accepted in the marketplace. Whether something is innovative is a constant debate. Once the public deems it innovative, the argument is over and everybody jumps on the bandwagon. Further, just because something is unique does not make it innovative. It is possible to make products that are so unique that the potential customers do not recognize the need for the product or are not able to conceptualize why the product is useful.
No matter what you do some people will not view your idea, product or service as innovative! This happens all the time.
Buggy whips are not innovative!
Critical Skills Necessary to Succeed in Today’s Economy
The question of product development only becomes interesting when we try to create products that have a potential to exhibit rapid growth. Rapid growth properly managed provides the way to wealth. In this book we will examine ways of thinking about products and services, but that will evolve into a strategy that focuses on trying to position products so that we can achieve high growth products and see if we can capture market share and sales. In this strategy we will be searching for disruptive technologies. We will try to use them to create products with a rapid growth curve. This is the process that we call creative disruption. We are trying to develop products that make money.
A group that I worked with over the years caused me to think of a huge contradiction in terms of innovation. The company’s chief scientist was a brilliant person with a serious problem. He was able to always tell you why something was not innovative. Eventually he could define what he saw as an innovative product. But, his definition relied on him solving all of the technology problems associated with the innovative product. In solving problems he relied upon being able to determine a solution to every possible development obstacle. In fact, he wanted to understand the solution not only in the absolute sense but in the sense of what had already been done in the industry. Think about this. If products are not innovative because they can be described in terms of what had been done before, then how can his innovative idea be innovative if he describes the solution to every problem by how the obstacle was overcome in some other product?
The key issue in developing products is how to get started. What is our creative strategy? If you can develop a basic concept you can then modify the concept and move forward. Lots of people have a lot of trouble getting off the ground. The key is to not let yourself get hung up by pebbles. Pebbles are small pieces of sand that seem to block people’s paths and no progress is made. The worst thing that can happen when trying to move forward with a concept is to get stopped by a pebble. I do not care if you have a good or a bad concept. If you do not have a concept you will go nowhere. Thus, I will push for a concept regardless of the quality of the original concept. Why? Because I know that all concepts must have a lot of back and forth before they become viable and unless I have a starting point there will be no way to move forward.

A New Understanding of Synapses
In 1959, Edward Gray showed that the minuscule gaps between neurons where chemical messages are sent, called synapses, come in two main varieties, which researchers later dubbed “excitatory” and “inhibitory.”
Inhibitory synapses act as the brakes in the brain, preventing it from becoming overexcited. Researchers thought they were less sophisticated than their excitatory counterparts because relatively few proteins were known to exist at these structures. But a new study by Duke University scientists, published in Science, overturns that assumption, uncovering 140 proteins that have never been mapped to inhibitory synapses.
“It’s like these proteins were locked away in a safe for over 50 years, and we believe that our study has cracked open the safe,” said the study’s senior investigator Scott Soderling, an associate professor of cell biology and neurobiology at Duke. “And there’s a lot of gems.”
In particular, 27 of these proteins have already been implicated by genome-wide association studies as having a role in autism, intellectual disability and epilepsy, Soderling said, suggesting that their mechanisms at the synapse could provide new avenues to the understanding and treatment of these disorders.
“The inhibitory synapse is just as important as the excitatory synapse, but we didn’t have a good way of purifying the proteins that were there, so we didn’t understand how it worked,” Soderling said.
In the new study, postdoctoral researcher Akiyoshi Uezu in Soderling’s group used a relatively recent labeling technique called BioID, which uses a bacterial enzyme to fish for any nearby proteins and bind to them irreversibly inside a living mouse. The captured proteins are then recovered from the tissue and identified using established methods for characterizing proteins.
The afternoon Soderling and Uezu realized the technique was pulling new proteins from the inhibitory synapse “we both almost fell out of our chairs,” Soderling said. “We saw this huge list of these really exciting proteins that no one had ever seen before.”
The team plans to explore the role of inhibitory synapses in the formation of long-term memory, which is enabled by synapses changing the strength of their connections over time. How inhibitory connections operate in memory is much less understood than in excitatory synapses, Soderling said.

@MatthieuNapoli I am glad you clarified your point to mean there is more than one way to skin a cat, rather than there is no way to do this. Casting is very important in database operations, for instance. For example on a parameterized PDO query, there will be a struggle sometimes for the parser to realize it is a number and not a string, and then you end up with a 0 in an integer field because you did not cast the string to an int in the parameter step. – stubsthewizard Sep 20 '18 at 16:19

You don't typically need to do this, since PHP will coerce the type for you in most circumstances. For situations where you do want to explicitly convert the type, cast it:
$num = "3.14";
$int = (int)$num;
$float = (float)$num;
• 6
here the situation is bit different I want to convert any string(contains only numbers) to a general number. As U may know in javaScript we can use parseInt() to convert string=>int or parseFloat() to convert string=>float. but in general javaScript use Number() to convert string => number.

@Sara: You can also create a function for converting the string to number by first casting it to integer, then to float and then comparing if both values (integer and float) are equal. If they are, you should return the value as integer, if not, then as a float. Hope you get the idea. – Youstay Igo Aug 4 '16 at 4:38

There are times that you need to pass the integer to file system, it is not a good idea to wait for PHP to do the conversion for you. – AaA Jan 27 '19 at 14:49
There are a few ways to do so:
1. Cast the strings to numeric primitive data types:
$num = (int) "10";
$num = (double) "10.12"; // same as (float) "10.12";
2. Perform math operations on the strings:
$num = "10" + 1;
$num = floor("10.1");
3. Use intval() or floatval():
$num = intval("10");
$num = floatval("10.1");
4. Use settype().

intval is useful because then you can use it in array_map('intval', $arrayOfStrings); which you can't do with casting. – icc97 Nov 23 '16 at 20:10
• 3
instead of $num = "10" + 1; it's better to use $num = "10" * 1; since that will not change the value (neutral element of multiplication), this is essentially something like toNumber(..) since the final type will be determined by what is needed to convert the string "10" -> (int) 10; "10.1" -> (float) 10.1; – Holly Aug 20 '17 at 8:43
To avoid problems try intval($var). Some examples:
echo intval(42); // 42
echo intval(4.2); // 4
echo intval('42'); // 42
echo intval('+42'); // 42
echo intval('-42'); // -42
echo intval(042); // 34 (octal as starts with zero)
echo intval('042'); // 42
echo intval(1e10); // 1410065408
echo intval('1e10'); // 1
echo intval(0x1A); // 26 (hex as starts with 0x)
echo intval(42000000); // 42000000
echo intval(420000000000000000000); // 0
echo intval('420000000000000000000'); // 2147483647
echo intval(42, 8); // 42
echo intval('42', 8); // 34
echo intval(array()); // 0

In whatever (loosely-typed) language you can always cast a string to a number by adding a zero to it.
However, there is very little sense in this as PHP will do it automatically at the time of using this variable, and it will be cast to a string anyway at the time of output.
Note that you may wish to keep dotted numbers as strings, because after casting to float it may be changed unpredictably, due to float numbers' nature.

If you want get a float for $value = '0.4', but int for $value = '4', you can write:
$number = ($value == (int) $value) ? (int) $value : (float) $value;

Instead of having to choose whether to convert the string to int or float, you can simply add a 0 to it, and PHP will automatically convert the result to a numeric type.
// Being sure the string is actually a number
if (is_numeric($string))
$number = $string + 0;
else // Let the number be 0 if the string is not a number
$number = 0;
Yes, there is a similar method in PHP, but it is so little known that you will rarely hear about it. It is an arithmetic operator called "identity", as described here:
Aritmetic Operators
To convert a numeric string to a number, do as follows:
$a = +$a;

Hi @Greg. Did you click on the link posted here? This is what the developers said about this operator: Conversion of $a to int or float as appropriate. "Conversion", here, cannot be understood as a number-to-number conversion. Why? Because from an exclusive arithmetic point of view, this operator is absolutely useless! Multiplying any number by "+1" (the equivalent of identity function) has absolutely no effect on it. Therefore, I cannot imagine other utility for this operator than the type conversion suggested here. – aldemarcalazans Aug 22 '19 at 21:40

@Greg - surely this is less of a hack, than most of the other answers. Its a built-in operator, that does exactly what was requested. (Though its probably best to first check is_numeric, so have a place to put code to handle strings that can't convert correctly.) – ToolmakerSteve Oct 9 '19 at 18:14

Just a little note to the answers that can be useful and safer in some cases. You may want to check if the string actually contains a valid numeric value first and only then convert it to a numeric type (for example if you have to manipulate data coming from a db that converts ints to strings). You can use is_numeric() and then floatval():
$a = "whatever"; // any variable
if (is_numeric($a))
var_dump(floatval($a)); // type is float
var_dump($a); // any type
Here is the function that achieves what you are looking for. First we check if the value can be understood as a number, if so we turn it into an int and a float. If the int and float are the same (e.g., 5 == 5.0) then we return the int value. If the int and float are not the same (e.g., 5 != 5.3) then we assume you need the precision of the float and return that value. If the value isn't numeric we throw a warning and return null.
function toNumber($val) {
if (is_numeric($val)) {
$int = (int)$val;
$float = (float)$val;
$val = ($int == $float) ? $int : $float;
return $val;
} else {
trigger_error("Cannot cast $val to a number", E_USER_WARNING);
return null;
If you want the numerical value of a string and you don't want to convert it to float/int because you're not sure, this trick will convert it to the proper type:
function get_numeric($val) {
if (is_numeric($val)) {
return $val + 0;
return 0;
get_numeric('3'); // int(3)
get_numeric('1.2'); // float(1.2)
get_numeric('3.0'); // float(3)

• @AgnesPalit - PHP is anglo-centric. Only recognizes . as decimal separator. Try '12.24' * 1. Though personally I prefer + 0. Addition instead of multiplication. – ToolmakerSteve Aug 13 '20 at 23:04
Here is a function I wrote to simplify things for myself:
It also returns shorthand versions of boolean, integer, double and real.
function type($mixed, $parseNumeric = false)
if ($parseNumeric && is_numeric($mixed)) {
//Set type to relevant numeric format
$mixed += 0;
$t = gettype($mixed);
switch($t) {
case 'boolean': return 'bool'; //shorthand
case 'integer': return 'int'; //shorthand
case 'double': case 'real': return 'float'; //equivalent for all intents and purposes
default: return $t;
Calling type with parseNumeric set to true will convert numeric strings before checking type.
type("5", true) will return int
type("3.7", true) will return float
type("500") will return string
Just be careful since this is a kind of false checking method and your actual variable will still be a string. You will need to convert the actual variable to the correct type if needed. I just needed it to check if the database should load an item id or alias, thus not having any unexpected effects since it will be parsed as string at run time anyway.
If you would like to detect if objects are functions add this case to the switch:
case 'object': return is_callable($mixed)?'function':'object';
I've found that in JavaScript a simple way to convert a string to a number is to multiply it by 1. It resolves the concatenation problem, because the "+" symbol has multiple uses in JavaScript, while the "*" symbol is purely for mathematical multiplication.
Based on what I've seen here regarding PHP automatically being willing to interpret a digit-containing string as a number (and the comments about adding, since in PHP the "+" is purely for mathematical addition), this multiply trick works just fine for PHP, also.
I have tested it, and it does work... Although depending on how you acquired the string, you might want to apply the trim() function to it, before multiplying by 1.
• Of course in PHP the multiply trick works exactly the same as the addition trick - with exactly the same caveats - so there isn't any particular reason to ask computer to do a multiplication. Regardless, the cleanest solution is $var = +$str; -- the identity operator. – ToolmakerSteve Aug 13 '20 at 23:16
Only multiply the number by 1 so that the string is converted to type number.

I've been reading through answers and didn't see anybody mention the biggest caveat in PHP's number conversion.
The most upvoted answer suggests doing the following:
$str = "3.14"
$intstr = (int)$str // now it's a number equal to 3
That's brilliant. PHP does direct casting. But what if we did the following?
$str = "3.14is_trash"
$intstr = (int)$str
Does PHP consider such conversions valid?
Apparently yes.
PHP reads the string until it finds first non-numerical character for the required type. Meaning that for integers, numerical characters are [0-9]. As a result, it reads 3, since it's in [0-9] character range, it continues reading. Reads . and stops there since it's not in [0-9] range.
Same would happen if you were to cast to float or double. PHP would read 3, then ., then 1, then 4, and would stop at i since it's not valid float numeric character.
As a result, "million" >= 1000000 evaluates to false, but "1000000million" >= 1000000 evaluates to true.

((int) $var) ( but in big number it return 2147483647 :-) )
But the best solution is to use:
if (is_numeric($var))
$var = (isset($var)) ? $var : 0;
$var = 0;
if (is_numeric($var))
$var = (trim($var) == '') ? 0 : $var;
$var = 0;
Simply you can write like this:
$data = ["1","2","3","4","5"];
echo json_encode($data, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);

While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how this code answers the question improves its long-term value. – Alex Riabov Aug 28 '18 at 11:43

Are you sure about this? This won't convert a string to a number, but an array to a JSON string – Nico Haase Dec 29 '18 at 12:00
• Yes, @NicoHaase if the number is in string format in an array it will convert into a number. – Dominic Amal Joe F Jan 3 '19 at 8:36
Late to the party, but here is another approach:
function cast_to_number($input) {
if(is_float($input) || is_int($input)) {
return $input;
if(!is_string($input)) {
return false;
if(preg_match('/^-?\d+$/', $input)) {
return intval($input);
if(preg_match('/^-?\d+\.\d+$/', $input)) {
return floatval($input);
return false;
cast_to_number('123.45'); // (float) 123.45
cast_to_number('-123.45'); // (float) -123.45
cast_to_number('123'); // (int) 123
cast_to_number('-123'); // (int) -123
cast_to_number('foo 123 bar'); // false
You can change the data type as follows
$number = "1.234";
echo gettype ($number) . "\n"; //Returns string
settype($number , "float");
echo gettype ($number) . "\n"; //Returns float
For historical reasons "double" is returned in case of a float.
PHP Documentation
PHP will do it for you within limits
$str = "3.148";
$num = $str;
printf("%f\n", $num);
• I don't want to out put it. I want to convert it and save it in a variable. – Sara Dec 16 '11 at 4:17

This automagically converted it to a float. PHP's loose type conversion does it for you. Although it may not do what you expect so the other answers with explicit conversion may work better for you. – Adrian Cornish Dec 16 '11 at 4:20
• $str can contains '5' or '5.258' using printf("%f\n", $str) '5' will out put as 5.000000 (I want it as 5) for 5.280000 (I want it as 5.28) it contains more decimal points. – Sara Dec 16 '11 at 4:41
• Re "This automagically converted it to a float." Not usefully. $num = $str; did not change the value at all, of course. And the printf prints something somewhere - so its still a string. This might be more obvious if you used sprintf instead! Nowhere in your answer is there a float value that can be extracted and used elsewhere. [Agreed that internally it was a float temporarily - but still is not an answer to the question. If OP wanted to print the original string, he could simply have done printf("%s\n", $str).] – ToolmakerSteve Aug 13 '20 at 22:48
All suggestions lose the numeric type.
This seems to me a best practice:
function str2num($s){
// Returns a num or FALSE
$return_value = !is_numeric($s) ? false : (intval($s)==floatval($s)) ? intval($s) :floatval($s);
print "\nret=$return_value type=".gettype($return_value)."\n";
There is a way:
Using is_* won't work, since the variable is a: string.
Using the combination of json_encode() and then json_decode() it's converted to it's "true" form. If it's a true string then it would output wrong.
$num = "Me";
$int = (int)$num;
$float = (float)$num;
var_dump($num, $int, $float);
Will output: string(2) "Me" int(0) float(0)
If you don't know in advance if you have a float or an integer,
and if the string may contain special characters (like space, €, etc),
and if it may contain more than 1 dot or comma,
you may use this function:
// This function strip spaces and other characters from a string and return a number.
// It works for integer and float.
// It expect decimal delimiter to be either a '.' or ','
// Note: everything after an eventual 2nd decimal delimiter will be removed.
function stringToNumber($string) {
// return 0 if the string contains no number at all or is not a string:
if (!is_string($string) || !preg_match('/\d/', $string)) {
return 0;
// Replace all ',' with '.':
$workingString = str_replace(',', '.', $string);
// Keep only number and '.':
$workingString = preg_replace("/[^0-9.]+/", "", $workingString);
// Split the integer part and the decimal part,
// (and eventually a third part if there are more
// than 1 decimal delimiter in the string):
$explodedString = explode('.', $workingString, 3);
if ($explodedString[0] === '') {
// No number was present before the first decimal delimiter,
// so we assume it was meant to be a 0:
$explodedString[0] = '0';
if (sizeof($explodedString) === 1) {
// No decimal delimiter was present in the string,
// create a string representing an integer:
$workingString = $explodedString[0];
} else {
// A decimal delimiter was present,
// create a string representing a float:
$workingString = $explodedString[0] . '.' . $explodedString[1];
// Create a number from this now non-ambiguous string:
$number = $workingString * 1;
return $number;
• Personally, I consider this dubious. Taking an arbitrary, garbage, string, and searching for a number in it, is almost certainly undesireable. Much better to do what php does by default, which is convert (most) garbage strings into "0". Reason: its more obvious what happened, if unexpected strings reach your method - you simply get 0 (unless the string starts with a valid number). – ToolmakerSteve Aug 13 '20 at 22:41

@ToolmakerSteve yes it's problematic, but there is at least this use case where I had no choice: I had to display strings contained in a (not to be modified) sheet "as is", with symbols and so on, and at the same time use the number contained in it. – user1657853 Sep 8 '20 at 15:57
• OK, that makes sense. What will your answer do, if there are multiple numbers scattered throughout the string? Is this approach useful for code that converts a phone number to only the digits? E.g. user enters (123)456-7890, and you want to extract 1234567890 from that? Or is the idea that it finds the first number, so would result in 123 in my example? – ToolmakerSteve Sep 8 '20 at 20:10
• 1
It returns the full number – user1657853 Sep 9 '20 at 9:18
//Get Only number from string
$string = "123 Hello Zahid";
$res = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", "", $string);
echo $res."<br>";
//Result 123
One of the many ways it can be achieved is this:
$fileDownloadCount = (int) column_data_from_db;
The second line increments the value by 1.
I got the question "say you were writing the built in function for casting an integer to a string in PHP, how would you write that function" in a programming interview. Here's a solution.
$int = 15939;
$string = "";
while ($int) {
$string .= $nums[$int % 10];
$int = (int)($int / 10);
$result = strrev($string);
• Thank you for attempting to contribute to the Q&A. But, sorry, not what is being asked in the question. Your code converts an integer to a string. The question is about converting a string to an integer. The question is also not about how to write code to do something that can already be done using built-in features of the language. – ToolmakerSteve Aug 13 '20 at 22:42

Impact of Patient Smoking Behavior on Empathic Helping by Family Caregivers in Lung Cancer
Michelle M. Lobchuk
Susan E. McClement
Christine J. McPherson
Mary Cheang
ONF 2012, 39(2), E112-E121 DOI: 10.1188/12.ONF.E112-E121
Purpose/Objectives: To test the impact of patient smoking behavior on family caregiver judgments of responsibility, emotions, empathic responses, and helping behavior.
Design: Structural equation modeling.
Setting: Five oncology outpatient settings in Canada.
Sample: 304 dyads consisting of patients with lung cancer and their primary caregivers.
Methods: Self-report questionnaires, abstracted medical record data, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling.
Main Research Variables: Smoking history, judgments of responsibility for controlling the disease, anger, pride, empathic responses, and helping behaviors.
Findings: The impact of patient smoking behavior on caregiver help was mediated by caregiver judgments of responsibility, affective reactions of anger and pride, and empathic responses by caregivers.
Conclusions: When patients continued to engage in smoking behavior, despite a diagnosis of lung cancer, caregivers tended to ascribe more responsibility and feel more anger and less pride in the patients' efforts to manage the disease, therefore placing caregivers at risk for less empathy and helping behavior.
Implications for Nursing: Caregiver blame and anger must be assessed, particularly when the patient with lung cancer continues to smoke. If caregiver judgments of blame and anger are evident, then an attribution approach is indicated involving a dialogue between the caregiver and the patient, with the aim of enhancing the caregiver's understanding of how negative attributions and linked emotions impact his or her ability to engage in empathic helping behaviors.

Name: Shiro Dollahardae
Age: 89 Species: kitsune (Japanese fox daemon)
Profession: scout/spy for Dae'angel Family: Jessica
Born in Japan, Shiro came to Europe to escape a cruel dog demon in the east. After the loss of another family, Shiro and his sister Jessica ended up in the care of Allura and the Dae'angel. He mainly does scouting work since he specializes in illusions rather than physical combat.
Likes: rabbit stew, playing with his sister, studying
Dislikes: most girls, being a pretty boy, death threats
Age: unknown Species: unknown
Profession: peasent Family: unknown
Once a peasant in the french countryside, she now lives in the province of Nice in the south-east of France. She works mostly as a farmer, but seems to have earned a nasty reputation in the near by village. Villagers claim that she is a witch with a familiar but are too afraid to run her out of town.
Likes: rabbit stew, being left alone, working on her farm
Dislikes: most people and especially strangers
Name: Allura Dollahardae
Age: really, really old Species: wolf dae'angel
Profession: Head of the Dae'angel Family: too many to list
Daughter of the powerful Seiko, Allura helped form the Organization of Dae'angel and is it's 5th leader. She has given a home to many humans, daemons, dae'angel, and half-daemons over the years. Each one has become a valuable member of her organization and a powerful warrior. Allura herself often spends her time going between high courts and has been a lady in waiting for many queens over her long life. She loves being the center of attention. Her current job, however, focuses on her newest student, Jessica.
Likes: reading, socializing in the coursts
Dislikes: repeating history, being disliked, being ignored
Name: Jessica Dollahardae
Age: 57 Species: dog dae'angel
Profession: child/student Family: Shiro
Though she was born in Japan, she has no memories of it. She came to Europe with Shiro. When she lost the only family she ever knew, save for her brother Shiro, her powers started showing and she was taken in by Allura. Now she focuses on her studies, having a good time, and trying to be like Allura. She is rarely seen far from Allura, except when she is bothering her brother.
Likes: reading, playing in the gardens, being nosey
Dislikes: being ignored, the cold, having to sit still and be quiet | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9785236120224}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '4935', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RW7ZP43EYEYNWYH6EXXZ75ELUXUZEM4O', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ba570b3e-3c99-45d9-ad1c-642bc2b04251>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 3, 7, 48), 'WARC-IP-Address': '66.220.2.20', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:CWNBIVA6MVEI3VTN32JDDXNODPVAFMGC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:860d8234-3fa6-4f66-83ed-98c702c401bc>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://tainted.comicgenesis.com/cast.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:da8309d7-d7e1-4e72-8d2c-6c39b1e98dd1>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '392', 'url': 'http://tainted.comicgenesis.com/cast.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-10-113-176-82.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': '0.043961405754089355', 'original_id': '6f236920a17a388dc32fa11b86cb5144c8d2bacbcefbb1066759544c54cc48cf'} |

Nearly 9,000 homes will be without heat for weeks after explosions linked to a failing pipeline. The company is offering to help people leave natural gas entirely.

Nearly 9,000 households in eastern Massachusetts have had to make do without natural gas since mid-September, when an aging natural gas pipeline failed and set off a series of explosions and fires across the cities of Lawrence, Andover and North Andover.
Residents who relied on gas to heat their homes and cook their food won't have service again until mid-November at the earliest, according to Columbia Gas of Massachusetts. The company has 48 miles of pipeline to replace, and industry experts question whether it can meet even that timeline.
Environmental advocates say it's time to completely rethink the communities' energy systems.
They are calling for a "green new deal" that would shift thousands of homes off natural gas and onto electric heating.
Columbia Gas has offered to reimburse "reasonable costs" for residents who lost gas service and want to permanently shift to another heating source. Some area residents, rocked by damage to dozens of homes and the death of one person from the gas explosions, have expressed concerns about ever returning to natural gas.
But environmentalists will have to work quickly. Columbia's offer to pay residents to cut ties with natural gas could also result in households moving backward—to high-polluting fuel oil.
"The choice is open to the customer whether they want to go back to the 19th century or go into the 21st century," said Nathan Phillips, acting director of the Sustainable Neighborhood Lab at Boston University.
The Possibility of Heat Pumps
Columbia Gas's offer opens the door for a number of options with emissions profiles that vary widely, including heat pumps, conventional electric heating, propane and fuel oil. Residents, or their landlords, also could decide to wait through increasingly cold weeks for the gas line to be rebuilt.
(Two weeks after announcing the plan, the company changed its reimbursement policy, making it less likely it would cover the full cost of electric heat pumps under new claims. Existing claims approved before Oct. 15 would be honored, spokesman Dean Lieberman said.)
One option Phillips and other sustainable development advocates are promoting is electric heat pumps—essentially air conditioners that can run in reverse in wintertime to heat rather than cool a home.
Heating a house with electric heat pumps requires roughly one-third the amount of energy as natural gas or other heat sources. And if the electricity comes from green energy, such as solar or wind power, the carbon footprint disappears.

Heat pumps have been used for decades in moderate climates but improvements in the technology in the past five to 10 years have increased their efficiency, making them a viable option in colder locations, as well, said Larry Chretien, executive director of the Green Energy Consumers Alliance.
Unlike conventional heating systems, which burn natural gas or some other fuel to provide heat, heat pumps use fans, pumps, compressors and heat exchangers to draw heat out of the air and transfer that heat into the home. "There is a lot of heat energy in the air even in winter, and these heat pumps can capture that heat and move it indoors very efficiently," said Paul Eldrenkamp, a consultant on passive houses and deep energy retrofits who heads the DEAP Energy Group in Newton, Massachusetts.
Heat pumps, however, are typically more expensive to operate than furnaces or boilers that run on natural gas due to the current glut of low-cost, hydraulically fractured natural gas, though they are less expensive than oil or propane.
Eldrenkamp said the best solution for affected communities, especially Lawrence, a low-income community, would be to combine heat pumps with community-owned solar arrays paired with large-scale batteries.
"Let's take this opportunity to really bring these homes into the 21st century, not just for environmental reasons but for social justice reasons," Eldrenkamp said. "Let's not just switch them over to heat pumps, but let's get some solar panels in the neighborhoods and do the whole package."
How Heating Costs Compare in the Merrimack Valley Area of Massachusetts
To be a good candidate for heat pumps, homes must first be well insulated. Funding, including 100 percent of costs for low-income residents, is available for insulation through the state's energy efficiency program, Ken Stammen a spokesperson for NiSource, Columbia Gas's parent company, said, but lining up a required home inspection and contractors to do the work could create delays.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has called on Columbia Gas to directly cover installation expenses for low-income customers, rather than just offering them reimbursements, so they don't face prohibitive upfront costs. She has also urged the gas company to provide a detailed timeline for replacements, to educate every customer on the availability of heat pump technologies, and to cover any additional costs if heat pumps are more expensive than their existing heating systems.
Chretien, of the Green Energy Consumers Alliance, cautioned that many of the affected homes, particularly those in Lawrence, have substandard electric systems and may require additional wiring before heat pumps can be installed. He added that homes with closed floor plans often require multiple heat pumps to ensure each room is properly heated, and that can increase costs.
"To get to an 80 percent carbon reduction by 2050 (the state's emissions reduction goal), we need to electrify everything including transportation heat and hot water," Chretien said. "Right now though, in 2018, in a hurry, it's a different story. It's complicated. Care has to be taken to make sure that it is in the customer's best interest."
Thinking Bigger, with Help from a River
Zeyneb Magavi, research director for the energy efficiency and clean energy advocacy group HEET and a member of Mothers Out Front, said the collapse of the gas system in the three communities calls for a bigger, more outside-the-box solution.
She is proposing a district heating system with an unusual heat source: the Merrimack River, which runs through Lawrence and skirts North Andover.
Just as heat pumps can draw heat from cold air, they can also pull thermal energy from water. A district heating system in Drammen, Norway, for example, generates 85 percent of the hot water needed to heat the city by drawing it from a cold-water fjord.
Magavi's aim is getting gas companies out of the business of selling gas and into selling heat.
Developing river-based district heating in Massachusetts would face a number of hurdles, including regulatory challenges. But the technology has a lot of promise, Magavi said. Cooling the Merrimack River by 1 degree could theoretically heat 100,000 homes, according to calculations by Mark Sandeen, chair of Sustainable Lexington, a committee appointed by town officials in Lexington, Massachusetts, charged with enhancing the town's environmental sustainability.
While such a conversion would take too long to address the immediate needs in the former mill towns, the ongoing outage could spark a larger transformation in a region that has long looked to its rivers as a source of energy and innovation.
"The Merrimack River Valley was the cradle of the industrial revolution," Magavi said. "It would be symbolically beautiful if it became the cradle of the next clean energy revolution."

Fratello’s Fantasy Pick: Drew Gooden
10th–year, 6-10, 250-pound power forward Drew Gooden has stepped up with two strong 23-point performances while filling in for Milwaukee’s starting center Andrew Bogut. The 260-pound, 7-footer from Australia fractured his ankle in last week’s win over the Houston Rockets. Bogut’s injury could cost him the remainder of the season, and it could cost his teammates the postseason.
Bogut was third in scoring with 11.3 ppg, and the Bucks will sorely miss the 2010-11 block leader at the defensive end of the court as he led them in rebounding with 8.3 boards per game. This early season setback is a big blow to the Bucks, who conceded the eighth seed to the Pacers in last year’s Eastern Conference playoff race. Coach Scott Skiles has charged veteran reserve Drew Gooden with the task of filling Bogut’s shoes, and so far “The Truth” has delivered.
Former Kansas Jayhawk Andrew Melvin “Drew” Gooden (who joined fellow freshmen Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich for the 1999–2000 season) was named NABC Player of the Year for 2002. He began his NBA career in Memphis in the small forward role, but it soon became apparent that he was better suited for the power forward position. Gooden has worn as many jerseys as years he’s competed in the league. But his red, white and green shirt just might stick. The Bucks signed the big man to a five-year contract prior to the start of the 2010 season, adding much-needed depth to their frontcourt.
Gooden put up 23 points, pulled down 15 rebounds and dished 6 dimes in 36 minutes during Friday’s 107-100 loss to the Chicago Bulls. And he helped his shorthanded squad deliver the fourth straight road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with 23 points and 8 rebounds in Saturday’s 100-89 upset.
The Bucks will be looking for consistency in Gooden’s game. If he continues to produce, Gooden will get the majority of Bogut’s minutes, though 6-10, 4th-year forward Ersan Ilyasova from Turkey will chip in as well. This week Gooden will have four opportunities to prove his worth on the frontline and boost his value to fantasy owners. The Milwaukee Bucks begin a stretch of three road games with a match against their Central Division rivals the Detroit Pistons tonight at 8:00 PM EST. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '99cf418a7df94692f47481c944b8a5104170ae0e8f70bc4b3c5d3e4e9dc7fe77'} |
A Look Back at Star Wars: Episode : Racer
The best thing to come out of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was an N64 game. Racer was a unique product: a movie tie-in game which wasn’t awful. Care, attention and some actual thought had gone into Racer and because of this it was one of the best racing games on the console and one of my favourite games of all time.
The success was that it seemed to capture the experience that was felt watching the Pod-Racing in the The Phantom Menace but this time placing you in direct control. This didn’t feel like a poor relation to the movie either. It had characters, racers and the soundtrack that fit the scene it was inspired by.
Plenty of characters to choose from
After the rolling text (a Star Wars must) came the character selection. The impressive aspect was that all the characters that appeared in the scene, with their individual racers, were featured. They all had different attributes, speed, handling, etc. but the all-rounder and my personal favourite was always Anakin Skywalker. On picking the character you got a small sound-bite, which was the most irritating part of the game as throughout the race you had to hear young Jake Lloyd’s voice “yippeeing” and whining depending on how well you were doing in the race.
There was more depth to the game than just picking the racer though. The more races you won, the more coins you got and then you could upgrade your racer. If you were like me, who played everyday after school religiously for months on end, then soon you had a pretty formidable racer.
The racing captured the fast-pace of the scene in the movie
None of that would matter if the gameplay wasn’t up to scratch. Luckily, the developers didn’t skimp on this area either. Racer had 25 different tracks, all with different features that affected the way you raced. The starting track was the one from the movie, Tatooine, but also featured were snow tracks, tracks set in space stations or on volcanic planets. Each had their own secrets, from timing jumps for speed boosts, short-cuts or environments which could affect the Pods.
The Pod-Racers weren’t indestructible either. Just like in the movie, in-race repairs were essential and constantly battering the different parts of the Pod-Racer would cause alerts to flash, parts of your ship to flash with warnings and your need to repair (a process which slowed you down). Get too reckless and your racer would explode in a fireball, much like in the movie.
Repairs were necessary during the race
That was likely to happen too. The racing is fast. Depending on your need for speed and “realism” you had four camera options. Two of them placed you firmly and safely behind the racer, with your vehicle in full sight on-screen. For the purists who want to feel what it is like to be inside the Pod-Racer there was a first-person view and a vehicle view which took away all the racer and just gave you the environment, at full speed, to navigate. It surprisingly captured the speed of the racing very well and was too quick for my tastes.
Like any racer, the replay value was good as well. At least three tournaments to unlock and win, other unlockable aspects, including parts for the racers and tracks and then time trials and multiplayer made this one of the better games on the N64 and probably the best racer (which wasn’t Mario Kart).
Overall, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer is a missed but not forgotten game that could do well with an update and resurgence on current generation consoles. It had faithful links with the film that inspired it, great gameplay and captured the best aspects of one of the better scenes in The Phantom Menace. It is shame that the movie did so poorly as it may just have killed off this excellent game with it.
The best non-Mario racer on the N64

Our Expertise
Our firm is not a “general law practice.” Rather, for over a decade we have dedicated ourselves to developing experience and expertise in one area: representing people and businesses that have been killed, significantly injured or financially harmed by the negligent or wrongful conduct of others.
Within that specific area, over the years we have evaluated factual scenarios of virtually every type and pursued cases under many different legal theories. If you or a friend or family member has suffered serious injury or significant financial harm for any reason that was the fault of someone else, Conley Griggs Partin LLP stands ready and equipped to speak with you about your situation at no cost, consider your potential case, and if merited, pursue it aggressively.
That said, there are some types of cases that we have handled more often than others in the last decade. Through these cases we have developed particularized areas of expertise within our already limited field. If you think you may have a potential case in one of these areas, please contact us immediately so we can bring our experience to bear for you.
Product Failures, Malfunctions or Defects
Have you suffered a tire blowout or tread separation that led to a crash? Did your seat belt fail to protect you or a loved one in a collision? Did one of your child’s toys or safety equipment malfunction and result in injury to them? Did you have a medical device that failed, or take a prescription drug, that led to a catastrophic result? These are just a few examples of what we call “products liability” cases, and our firm has been dedicated to helping clients in such cases since the day we were formed. Not every firm is equipped handle products liability cases because of their complexity and expense, but ours is. If you believe a product of any kind failed, malfunctioned or was defective and a serious injury or death occurred, please contact us to see if we can help you or your family.
Wrecks Involving Tractor-Trailers or Commercial Vans or Trucks
Were you or a loved one seriously injured because of a collision with a tractor-trailer, dumptruck, garbage truck, commercial van, work truck or other driver who was “on the job”? Many lawyers claim to be equipped to handle such cases, but to maximize the value, you need a firm with specific experience navigating the many federal and state rules and regulations that govern commercial vehicles. Conley Griggs Partin LLP is such a firm. We have tried or settled many types of commercial vehicle cases over the years and from that experience, developed the experience to get into the details that makes these cases from different from other automobile collision cases.
Bad Repairs at a Vehicle or Tire Repair Shop That Lead to a Wreck
Did you or a family member have a vehicle serviced or repaired at a tire shop, auto care facility, or automobile dealer and after the service was done, experienced a vehicle malfunction or failure that led to a serious crash or injuries? Our firm has handled a number of cases involving situations in which negligent repairs or shoddy inspections at such facilities led to serious injuries, and we are one of the few firms in Georgia that we are aware of that have developed emphasis and expertise in the these types of cases. If you believe this situation occurred to you or a family member, contact us immediately.
Injuries or Death on a Construction Site or Worksite
Our firm does not handle classic “workers’ compensation” cases — cases against employers for recovery under Georgia workers’ compensation laws. On a number of occasions, however, we have evaluated cases that happened on a construction site or worksite and discovered that a case existed because someone other than your employer caused the injury or death. These cases include situations where another contractor on the job was negligent and caused an injury, or a product located on the job failed or was defective and resulted in injury or death. If you or a family member or friend were injured or killed while on the job but believe someone other than the employer was negligent in causing the incident or that a dangerous product was the cause, please contact us for a further evaluation.
Business Fraud or Breach of Fiduciary Duty Cases
Dating back to involvement in the Six Flags v. Time Warner case in 1998 while at another firm (a $454 million verdict based on breach of fiduciary duty which was upheld by the Georgia Court of Appeals), our lawyers have been involved in commercial disputes in which a business partner, joint venturer or professional in a position of trust with a client has violated duties of trust and fair dealing with the client, causing significant financial losses to the client. If you have a case in which any person placed in a position of trust (or fiduciary role) has treated you fraudulently or unfairly, please call upon us and our experience in such cases to help you evaluate the situation and, if merited, work with you to pursue a claim.

YMMV: Dynamite Headdy
• Awesome Music: Tons, but especially the epic final boss theme, and the cast theme. Nasty Gatekeeper's theme makes for a brilliant Oh Crap too. The tribute album Secret Bonus Point only makes it better.
• Faux Symbolism: The four pink puppets that appear in the intro are named after the Four Evangelists, according to the Japanese ending credits (seen at about 2:11).
• That One Boss: Treasure does everything to the Nasty Gatekeeper short of putting a sign over her head saying "this is That One Boss". The introduction, the music, and of course the difficulty (at least until you get the hang of it). then again, a little later on you get Twin Freaks which doesn't have the intro or music, but sure has the difficulty. Compared to them, the Final Boss is a cakewalk once you know how to fight him. Even before that there is, in the Unexpected Shmup Level, Baby Face, who puts you through laser hell while repeatedly reaching up to grab you with a hideous hand.
• That One Level: The last little part of Fun Forgiven has a bunch of Hangmans flipping in and out of usability. Unless you know what you're doing, this part is very annoying to get through.
• Act 9, Scene 1. "Fatal Contraption" refers to Trouble Bruin's new machine, but should be referring to the rising platform Headdy stands on. It's mostly reasonable in terms of skill required, but through most of it, in stark contrast to the rest of the game, one mistake will squish Headdy, killing him instantly and taking him back to the start of the scene. Picked up the Melon Head? Yeah, you're dead. Raised the wrong ceilings where the brown rock enemies hang out? Oops, you've trapped yourself. Didn't jump at just the right time for that zig-zag run with the spikes hanging above? Headdy will jump backwards when hit by the spike, and get squished. That's not all of it either.
• Unwinnable by Insanity: On the first real level, you have to catch a nearby platform to be able to climb a wall. As seen here, if you bring the platform too far away from the ledge or the other platform, you won't be able to continue. You can't move the platform again, and, provided you killed the only enemy around, you can't kill yourself, forcing you to reset the game.

Your Digital Kids:
Studying the Studiers
There are times to take a breather from the digital world and study the old fashioned way.
Published: November, 2005
In a world where it’s only 8 minutes until the next TV commercial, video games hone lightening fast reflexes, and even the food is fast it’s hard for kids to buckle down and study. Studying is slow work, and often comes at the end of their long, jam-full days. The procrastinators, the fidgeters, the snackers, the mutli-taskers …they are all variations on the I-can’t- settle- down -to -study theme.
Parents can’t study for their kids but they can lend a studied hand:
1. Make a space.
Some swear that they study best at the kitchen table; some say they study in bed, but it’s not advised. Try to create a place with minimal distractions and use it only for studying. A good study area should have good lighting and ventilation, a comfortable chair and a space large enough to spread out their materials. If they are prone to daydreaming or dawdling you may want to peek in every now and then.
2. Chart a course.
Help them create a chart of all of the subjects they are taking and all the deadlines they need to meet. Include exams, papers, and projects. If their teachers don’t do it, then work backwards from the due date, helping them set milestones to meet (first drafts of your papers, a week or two for studying for an exam). Reevaluate your chart frequently in case things should change. (Wall charts work better than calendars kept on computers because you can see your entire workload at a glance.)
3. Channel Misspent Energy.
Some students fret so much about the work they have they actually never get around to doing it. If your child is constantly feeling overwhelmed they may need to carve out a bit more study and homework time or learn to work more efficiently. Have them keep a list of everything they do for a day or two and review it to see where they can be more efficient. They should list extra curricular activities, doctors appointments, phone calls with friends and time spent on the computer.
4. Study how to study.
Look into time management course and study skills courses that may be offered by your child’s school or an after school class or tutor. A few sessions learning study techniques can be well worth it.
5. Look for found study time.
Doctor’s appointment waiting room? Got half an hour before ballet class? A quick review or a few pages of reading can make good use of the wait and ease the homework load later.
6. Plan for breaks.
No one can go to school all day, have activities after school and then study non-stop. Even if they get 2 -3 hours of homework an evening, they’ll be more effective if they work in 45-60 minute stretches with break in between.
7. Take Note:
They say that half of succeeding in school is showing up alert. If they take good notes in class and then use highlighters or notecards to reinforce what they’ve noted, they’ll be in good shape. One technique is to leave ample room in the margins as you take notes so that you can reread your notes and jot down key phrases and terms during review. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9439481496810912}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '16990', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JEFDQHRHJKI3BQMEJYNYLB7ENPCWP3FI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1da968c0-d8b9-45da-ad70-81a286212588>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 1, 15, 53, 19), 'WARC-IP-Address': '209.237.150.20', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5QBAN2HIOEMFIJINBBPKLGELUUGFPROU', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:ee38274b-9bea-4205-87dd-ce9b06e97729>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.robinraskin.com/blog/your-digital-kids/studying-the-studiers/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a051a114-8f91-48a6-b6f9-5ebd9c0227ea>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '558', 'url': 'http://www.robinraskin.com/blog/your-digital-kids/studying-the-studiers/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08713310956954956', 'original_id': '8b5fea9a1503b3d3c394b2db1d978f01ee60a6f8fc05803a3039d4be0287fe2c'} |

5 Ways To Start Your Own Walking Group
walking group
Sam Edwards/Getty Images
Sure, walking groups may not sound as cool as stadium cycling or as cutting-edge as the latest boot camp craze, but you know what? They've stuck around since the 80s because they quickly turn a boring stroll into a social event that just happens to count as your daily cardio, using walking for weight loss. In fact, a new review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (which looked at 42 studies on the benefits of outdoor walking groups over the last two decades) found that the shared activity helped participants do everything from lose weight and lower their blood pressure to reduce their risk for heart problems and depression. The biggest (though totally unsurprising) benefit: The group walkers were more likely to stick with it.
"We all find excuses for not doing something, but if you're in a group, you're more motivated," says study author and post-graduate researcher Sarah Hanson. Another reason to grab your girlfriends: Previous research also shows that when you walk in a group, you walk faster and further than when you walk on your own.
Of course, finding or creating the right group, doesn't happen by itself. To make it a little easier, we gathered tips from walking coach Michele Stanten on how to start your very own walking group—from lace-up to finish line.

1. Recruit right.
To recruit group members, Stanten recommends passing out flyers in your neighborhood, exercise classes, work, or at any clubs you're a part of. You can even check out websites like exercisefriends.com or walkers.meetup.com that allow you to search for walking buddies in your area. When considering potential members already in your social circles, think about the types of people you would enjoy spending time with. "You aren't going to want to walk with people you don't enjoy," Stanten says. Aim for at least two other people committing before you get started, that way you still have a walking buddy if one can't show. Four or five members is a good number, but try to stay under 12—you don't want too many people walking in the streets, especially if it's a busier route.
2. Fix a time.

....And make sure that time works for you. "If you're the leader, you can't be the one skipping out," Stanten says. If you have kids, try for a time right after school drop-off. If you work, try for an early morning meet up or during lunchtime. Just make sure your timing is consistent so the rest of the group can get into the routine and stick with it.

3. Pave a smart path.
Make sure your meeting place is conveniently located. Translation: that 30-minute drive to the park is going to get really old really fast. If there aren't any parks nearby, walk right in your own neighborhood. Or, tie your walk to another weekly event. For instance, if you already meet your friends for coffee, start at the coffee shop and save coffee for after your walks. "Having it tie to something that you regularly do gives you that cue and makes you more likely to stick with it," Stanten says. If you've got beginner walkers, stay away from hilly neighborhoods, and avoid traffic-heavy routes at all costs. "It's going to be much more enjoyable if you have a safe, easy place to walk," she says.
4. Keep it together.
Because everyone walks at different paces, it's natural that some group members will get ahead of the pack and others will fall behind. Once the power-walkers of the group have had some time to stride, Stanten recommends looping—or whistling for them to come back—about halfway through the walk. "The group that's farthest out turns around and comes back so everyone can mingle and talk again," she says. That way the slower walkers won't feel as though they're holding back the group, and the faster walkers still log more steps with their quicker pace.

5. Make it fun.

"If you have a group that's interested in reading, you could always do a book club: Read a book and then discuss it while you're walking," Stanten says. "If you have people who don't know each other, do little icebreakers as you're walking: Have people share stories and ask silly questions."

Snow, snow, go away, don't come back another day
I live in Iowa. I have no idea why people live this far north. My excuse is that I was born here, my family is here and I'm trying to move sometime soon. We got about 3 inches of snow Sunday night and another 2 last night. In the next 24 hours we are supposed to get 7-12 inches more! It isn't supposed to reach above the freezing level within the forseeable future. Wednesday, after the foot of snow, we are predicted to have sustained 35-40 mile an hour winds. For those of you who don't live in a frozen tundra, that means as soon as plows clear the roads, they are covered in drifts of snow again. It also means less than a quarter mile of visibility. I. Hate. Winter.
On a happier note, I went to the mall last night. I am done Christmas shopping but I had so many good coupons, I couldn't resist. $15 off a $15 purchase, $10 off a $10 purchase and free item up to $13 when you spend $10. I consider myself a savvy shopper, but even I was impressed with the results:
1. $50 sweater, on sale for $40, with $15 off coupon = $25
2. $24 candle, on sale for $12, with $10 off coupon = $2
3. Two $13 lotions, on sale 2 for $10, plus got a $11 body wash free = $10
Grand total: $110 worth of stuff for $37.
As the savviest shopper, Staci Reynolds of Examiner.com and ReynFashions, says, "Don't buy it just because the price tag is right." I didn't. The sweater I already own in grey and purple argyle and I love it, so I bought the solid blue version. You can always use free body wash, use a candle as a gift and either use or gift the lotion.
1. No snow here in Vancouver yet.. and I am further north! It has been really cold though. I still have to finish my Xmas shopping...eeep!
2. Grand total: 16 inches of snow. There were drifts up to my chest over the driveway. We're still stuck because the plow hasn't gone down our street.

The Suffolk Punch Heavy Horse
0 Conversations
The Suffolk Punch is among the oldest of the heavy horse breeds in the UK, and sadly is a dying breed. In 2008 the animal was listed as an endangered species, and actions were taken to try to preserve this magnificent horse, which can stand in at a height of between 15 to 16 hands (5ft 6in) and weigh in excess of three quarters of a ton. Its colour is usually a varying shade of chestnut brown and, like the Shire horse, the Punch is known as a gentle giant having a broad head, thick neck and a short muscular body.
A Brief History
The earliest recorded date for the Suffolk heavy horse goes way back to the 16th Century. The animals living today can actually have their ancestry traced all the way back to one stallion, a horse called Crisp's Horse of Ufford, which was foaled in 1768.
The Suffolk Punch heavy horse was generally only to be seen in the eastern counties of England, where it worked on the land. It only became known elsewhere when farms became mechanised, and the use of heavy horses declined. The breed then started to move out across the UK where it could be seen at country fairs and shows, or pulling brewery drays.
But, despite being commercially viable, the Suffolk Punch didn't venture far from its home county. One reason is that at the height of the horse's popularity, East Anglia was a remote part of Britain, almost totally isolated, with little in the way of road or rail networks. It was not until the late 1930s that the Punch started to be introduced more widely around the country, but by then it was too late to expand the breed in any large numbers or to make it commercially viable to sell - mechanisation was rapidly taking over in and on farms.
Another problem that led to the rapid decline of the breed was the onset of the Second World War. A rapid increase in food production was needed, and the flat lands of East Anglia made it easy for new machines to do the job more quickly and efficiently than the horse. Farmers got rid of the horses, some selling as many as 40 in one day. Sadly the only buyers around at the time were mainly slaughterhouses, and as late as 1966 there were only nine Suffolk Punch foals born nationwide.
It became clear that they were nearing extinction, and if the breed were to survive then new breeders were needed. This started to happen in 1967 and the numbers have steadily grown since. There is still some way to go to secure the breed, but at the beginning of the 21st Century stocks are at the highest they have ever been.
Today the horses are still used mainly for showing at country fairs and shows, or by some breweries to pull drays. Others are kept as pets, or on stud farms.
Suffolk Punch Trivia
There is a book called The Suffolk Stud Book Volume 1, which is considered a classic among livestock books. It was written by Herman Bidell, who was the first secretary of the Suffolk Horse Society back in 1877. He spent two years tracing the ancestry and pedigree of all the horses alive at the time. The book was illustrated by a local artist called John Duvall.
In March 2008 a BBC news report stated that there was a renewed threat to the heavy horse breeds, with the Suffolk Punch numbers being reduced to just a few hundred. Efforts are being renewed to preserve and maintain the breed,with the help of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
Other Heavy Horses
Below is a list of Heavy Horse Breeds, the Shire at the top of the list, being the most popular and best known.
The numbers for each of the above breeds varies (as of 2008) but overall, they are historically very low. There are renewed efforts underway to preserve the various breeds via an assorted array of clubs, societies and individuals.

Apply These 5 Pieces Of Common Sense Relationship Advice Right Now
Sometimes it’s hard to recognize and come to grips with the very real flaws in our everyday relationships. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, relationships with family, or our relationships with our friends, you may currently be beneath the relationship veil. Soooo here is a little “outsider looking in” advice that you should seriously consider.
1) Stop letting people use you.
If you notice the only time you hear from this person is when they need a listening ear to vent to, financial assistance, or help of some kind stop answering their texts and calls. These are the type that could see you on the barely keeping things together side for yourself, or on the verge of your own breakdown, and WOULD STILL ask if they can borrow a few dollars, get a ride somewhere, if you could watch their kids, etc.
Often times you are only as valuable to these people as what you’re willing to give and do for them. If you are desperate enough to have a relationship with these people to allow them to keep using you, or don’t mind having to constantly make excuses or say no to them then keep them around. Otherwise, eliminate these people from your life. If it’s a family member, love them from afar, and holla at cuz only at family functions.
2) Stop letting people manipulate you.
Human Manipulation Book
Human Manipulation Book
If this person is going to kill his/herself if you don’t do a particular thing, if you’re going to ruin their life if you don’t do a particular thing, if they can’t be with you unless you accept a particular thing, etc., as harsh as it sounds, that’s their problem; not yours. You can have a verbally, mentally, or physically abusive person in your life that you have tried your best to work with, yet reached a point where you couldn’t tolerate them anymore.
Many times these people will try to force you to continue to be subjected to the unpleasant things they do to you by making statements similar to the aforementioned. DON’T YOU FALL FOR IT! 9 times out of 10 he/she is not going to kill his/herself, you are not ruining their life, and you should never be required to lose yourself to be with or around someone. Similar statements and other actions that try to bully or manipulate you (like causing conflict in one of your other romantic/friend/family/work relationships, incessantly calling or texting you, accusing you of various things like having never cared for them, etc.) are simply tools of the trade for these people. Walk away.
3) Never be someone’s secret.
It’s understandable, with the way social media works these days, if someone doesn’t want to blast the relationship between the two of you on social media. Lord knows there will be someone standing by ready to hate on your relationship. HOWEVER if you are an absolute secret that this person appears to be extremely cautious with and pretty damned determined to never let get out, that’s a problem.
If you try to take a pic with your “boo” are they always dodging the camera, or when you’re going live do they duck or slap the phone out of your hand to avoid appearing on your live? Does this person never so much as reference that they have a significant other in ANY social media post ever, and does he/she appear as single as a dollar bill to everyone on the outside looking in?
Victoria Secret's Crush Perfume
Victoria’s Secret Crush Perfume
If you’ve answered yes to most of these questions, sorry to inform you but…. YOU ARE A SECRET and not just low key. If you’re friend of the opposite sex can’t talk to you around their mate, can’t hang out with you and their mate or family together, or you can’t get an invite to any of the family events, YOU ARE A SECRET. You’re not really a “friend”. Get out of and far away from these secret relationships. They’re not healthy for you, and leave you vulnerable to some powerful emotional gut shots, and/or all out embarrassment. Its honestly not worth it.
And no, I’m not speaking to those whose moral structure allows them to be a proud side piece. You’re a different breed. I’m speaking to those who are not content being someone’s dirty little secret. First acknowledge that you are, in fact, a secret. It’s not “complicated” or they’re not “protecting you” or just “extremely private” or anything else they’re feeding you. Stop falling for the nonsense. Find a mate or friends who won’t keep you secret, and are more than proud to have you.
4) Family is forever, like it or not.
Yes, in this day and age there are countless people more than willing to drag their family all over the internet talking about how horrible they are and how dirty they did them. These people will tell you their family business, make threats to their family, blast their family, etc. all for….what exactly? For your entertainment. No matter what other reason they give, it’s because they feel someone will understand where they are coming from, why they are so upset, or why they feel so betrayed.
They often hardly know these people for whom they are performing on social media. The problem is, as a spectator, most people couldn’t care less who was right, who was wrong, or if there is a resolution to be had. For most, it’s simply entertainment and just one more thing to gossip about. Guess what….Junebug STILL coming to the family reunion even after all of that performing you did, like it or not.
Yup, some family will do you dirtier than a stranger in the street. Once you learn that, don’t hold on to all of that bitter resentment and aggression. Don’t become that cousin that’s always messing up the family gatherings because of the chip you have on your shoulder. Stop embarrassing the whole family on social media because of mess between you and Junebug. Simply change how you move. Now you know you have to love this particular relative from afar (If at all), and never allow them to again get into a position to do you wrong a second time.
Stop letting the world know your grandmothers and grandfathers or parents dropped the ball somewhere and raised these ain’t sh*t individuals that exist in your family. Look at these people who exist in your family as a fluke, and not the new standard for the “Modern Family”.
5) If something feels off to you, it probably is.
Unless you are someone with an anxiety disorder of some sort, have some kind of history of constantly being wrong, or are just a naturally suspicious person, believe your gut instincts. If you are one of the aforementioned persons, take your meds and understand that for you, things may not be what they seem. However if none of the previously mentioned applies to you, it hurts nothing and helps everything to put your mind at ease.
If you think your kid is lying about who they are with or where they are going, check it out and verify. If you feel one of your family members is acting a little funny, investigate it and talk to them about it. If you feel things are a little different between you and your mate, don’t start snooping around, stalking them, or hawking them. Speak to them; lay your concerns on the table. You’ll feel a lot better just getting it all out of your system and getting to the bottom of things, rather than getting yourself all worked up subconsciously over what may quite possibly be absolutely nothing.
If you do discover problems, then move on to finding or creating solutions. Don’t be more afraid to look crazy than you are afraid to actually GO crazy. Don’t do it to yourself. Whatever it is, don’t wimp out, be too busy, or be too lazy to get it handled. It will be much better for your mental health.
Check yourself
If any of these flaws exist in your everyday relationships, whether it’s a romantic relationship, relationships with family, or your relationships with your friends, stop living beneath the relationship veil. Use some common sense before you lose yourself. Outsiders looking in probably already see what you are blind to. Or maybe you see it, but simply are not yet prepared to tackle it. Get to cleaning out your relationship clutter. You’ll be glad you did. You’ll find much more peace in your life. You’ve got some straightening out to do.

The Skeptical Environmentalist
Irks Greens and their Supporters
By James Pinkerton
Excerpted from an article on Tech Central
"Bjørn Lomborg, a professor at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, challenges the enviros on their proudest premise: that their program will make the world a better place. Describing himself as "an ex-Greenpeace guy," he has written a provocative new book, The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World.
Lomborg freely admits that he is a statistician, not an earth scientist. As he told a recent forum at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank in New York City, "I didn't go out and measure any temperatures." Instead, true to his statistical calling, he gathered numbers. And then, in the tradition of Julian Simon and Gregg Easterbrook, he followed the trail of his data, leading him to the conclusion that, "things are getting better, doomsday is not near."
Environmentalists have blasted him. In its January issue, Scientific American published five pieces of rebuttal. Lomborg responded by posting the articles, plus his refuting annotations, on his website, and so the eco-battle is joined.

What You Need to Know: Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is a potent antioxidant with increasingly diverse uses in health promotion and disease prevention.
Every step in the progression of atherosclerosis can benefit from the antioxidant power of vitamin C, from preventing endothelial dysfunction and altering lipid profiles and coagulation factors to preventing blood vessel changes that can lead to strokes and other vascular catastrophes.
Vitamin C supplements reduce cellular DNA damage that is the vital first step in cancer initiation and also reduce the inflammatory changes that allow a malignant cell to grow into a dangerous tumor.
Vitamin C and the Importance of Antioxidants
Oxidative damage and the resultant inflammatory changes are now known to lie at the root of most common chronic conditions in humans, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.5,35,48-51 Although for many years it was thought that tissue ischemia (lack of oxygen-rich blood) caused the damage from acute conditions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack) and stroke, today we recognize instead that it is the sudden restoration of vital oxygen and the consequent production of reactive oxygen species that wreak major havoc on surviving tissue.52 This so-called ischemia/reperfusion injury is also now recognized as a critical factor in brain injury following bleeding and head trauma.53
Reactive oxygen species are harmful in other ways as well—they contribute to the DNA damage that is the first step in converting healthy cells into malignant cancers54,55 and they impair many of the checks and balances inherent in our immune systems, rendering us potentially vulnerable to deadly infections and their consequences.56,57 Finally, healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise17,18 and unhealthy activities such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption14,24,58 produce reactive oxygen species that must be controlled to prevent tissue injury. Scientists studying all of these conditions are rapidly developing a strong appreciation for vitamin C’s powerful potential as a preventive and often therapeutic supplement.

Neural induction seems to involve signalling by fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and attenuation of the activity of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). But FGFs, either alone or in combination with BMP antagonists, are not sufficient to induce neural fate in prospective epidermal ectoderm of amniote embryos. These findings suggest that additional signals are involved in the specification of neural fate. Here we show that the state of Wnt signalling is a critical determinant of neural and epidermal fates in the chick embryo. Continual Wnt signalling blocks the response of epiblast cells to FGF signals, permitting the expression and signalling of BMP to direct an epidermal fate. Conversely, a lack of exposure of epiblast cells to Wnt signals permits FGFs to induce a neural fate.}, issn = {0028-0836 (Print); 0028-0836 (Linking)}, doi = {10.1038/35077115}, author = {Wilson, S I and Rydstrom, A and Trimborn, T and Willert, K and Nusse, R and Jessell, T M and Edlund, T} } | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '164', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8807796239852905}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '2107', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:DZVM2FV5RSBRITWWEVYLPAPDF7WED2AV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ee39ba30-dc16-43b5-a3bc-882f1f4480a8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 12, 6, 20, 20), 'WARC-IP-Address': '171.67.215.200', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/plain', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PDWWKJIXUL4VFSD5IOYQG4D45OYJCSZH', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5bf11079-67ab-446e-9bf0-382167af8cd2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://web.stanford.edu/group/nusselab/cgi-bin/lab/publications/export/bibtex/141', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b6f1d401-0805-4a8a-b853-92dba7f601ea>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '196', 'url': 'http://web.stanford.edu/group/nusselab/cgi-bin/lab/publications/export/bibtex/141', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-21\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-245.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.25400036573410034', 'original_id': '2a20237f45a8ed36035602ec4ca531a9bf92220474f23a54b14d57b7b7a4f261'} |

I Love You Laurie
On this day in beautiful, snowy, Georgetown Colorado, not so very long ago, surrounded by family and friends you said yes and became my partner, my gift from God, my wife. I thank the Lord every day for blessing me with you and eagerly await what He has planned for us.

Papal Power Grab
This is the Triregnum, the papal tiara, symbol of the office of the papacy. This understated little beauty is encrusted with gold, silver, pearls, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other rare and valuable gemstones and valued at a minimum of $10,000 a sum of which can provide 77,000 meals for the needy. According to the Vatican this symbol of the papacy is three crowns symbolizing the three powers of the pope: Father of Kings, Governor of the World, Vicar of Christ
Of course the power the pope wields is the power that the world gives him, or what he is able to grab for himself. There's no biblical references or requirement for a vicar of Christ, there's no election for Governor of the World, and the whole Father of Kings thing, well that's possible considering the sexual excesses of past popes. However the bible says the requirements of a an overseer of a church or denomination are:
That's really about all the bible states for a leader of a church, and the Pope household falls a bit short of wife and children to be considered a biblically compliant overseer. The office of the pope is primarily concerned with their own trinity: Power, Money, and Getting More of Both. And it's becoming obvious that the Vatican has figured out how to reclaim it's past glory.

Nation Will Rise Against Nation
I used to think this was a redundant statement, or worse I was thinking that nations meant only democracies and free societies while kingdoms referred to monarchies or dictatorships. Was I wrong!
A kingdom is any kind of country; free, socialist, monarchy. The word Kingdom was translated from the original βασιλεύς (basileia) which means kingdom, or power to rule a kingdom. At the time of the New Testament that's all there were. But a nation is different. The word we translate to nation comes from the Greek word ἕθνος (ethnos) from which we get our word "ethnic" from.

Have a Blessed Christmas!
Merry and Joyous Christmas wishes, I pray that each of you draw closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the year to come. Here's an awesome video from Stand To Reason blog that explains exactly why Christmas is so unique of all holidays
Monday, December 22, 2014
I have acquaintances who tell me "We don't celebrate <insert holiday here>" generally for "religious" reasons. But Christmas? How can someone not celebrate Christmas? Then again I know religions that celebrate nothing. That's the thing about Christianity - God gave us the independence to determine how we should worship Him.
According to Paul's words here a Christian can rightly celebrate any day he or she wishes as a day for the Lord. I've been told "We don't celebrate birthdays" and my unspoken response was "Seriously? You don't set aside a day to give your Lord thanks and praise for the birth of your child?" They chose to not celebrate birthdays, that's their right, but they do not have the right to tell me I'm sinful for celebrating. The problem is that Graham Hancock is right; mankind is a species with amnesia. We forget stuff, and one way to remember stuff is a celebration.

The Real Reason For The Season
I love the Christmas season, I love the trees, and the lights and the music, the gifts and the gatherings, and if there's snow I'm in heaven. (The best thing about living in Colorado is regardless of the weather, a White Christmas is only an hours drive away) Being human beings squabbles will arise as we overschedule, overtax, and overspend ourselves, and I even like those too because it's family.
In all the hustle and bustle that happens around this time we all to easily forget what the reason for the season truly is. As John MacArthur points out in his sermon "The Ugliness of Christmas" the reason for the season isn't actually Jesus, Jesus came because of sin, making sin the actual reason for the season.

Knowledge of God Is Exclusive to Christians
This sounds pretty inflammatory, only Christians can have knowledge of God? How dare we think like that? Well, for one reason, Jesus told us:
That's an important verse, and an important concept: "nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Jesus tells us flat out that only He knows God The Father, and He chooses to whom He will reveal that knowledge. This entire verse is keeping with the ancient law or custom known as the Jewish Law of Agencies. This simply states
"A person's agent is regarded as the person himself." Therefore any act committed by a duly appointed agent is regarded as having been committed by the principle." (The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion, R.J.Z. Werblowski and Geoffrey Wigoder)
So to know Jesus is to know God, which is what Jesus stated. Christians know (or strive to know) Jesus. We love Jesus, we follow him, we cling to his every word. We talk to him in prayer, we give him praise and glory and we try to emulate him as a little brother would copy the thought, word, and deed of a much older, wiser brother. As we do this we learn about God.
When our Coexist friends start preaching their "All Paths Lead To God" screed, their rhetoric should bring a tear of sadness to the Christians eye. These people reject Jesus, so how can they know God? And why would they preach such unsubstantiated stuff? It's more than likely the god of this world putting ideas into their heads.

The Pope Gets His Theology From Cartoons
Happy To Be A Catholic Dog
I'm glad I visited Rome when I did, back in the late 70's. Not because it was a wonderful time, for those of us in the military it wasn't all that wonderful, but because it wasn't so weird in Rome back then.
Mr. Pope, who really isn't a James Bond villain, just made one of the most nonsensical, unbiblical, pronouncements since he began his attack on the bible in March 2013.
"One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God's creatures." - Mr. Pope
Before discussing Mr. Pope's statement, let's look at the bible verses that he based his statement on:
The Gospel According To Luke
If you hold to the concept that you can't believe a gospel because the author did not personally know Jesus while he was alive then don't read Luke. Luke never personally, physically met Jesus. They didn't have dinner together, Luke never heard Jesus preach, Luke didn't help distribute the bread and fish to the thousands. So obviously the Gospel of Luke cannot be trusted, right?
The inaccurately titled blog The Church of Truth (which in reality is merely an atheist screed attacking something they can't possibly understand) goes to great and unsuccessful efforts to prove the falsehood that the bible can't be trusted and one of their great weapons is the completely inaccurate assessment that if the author of a Gospel didn't know Jesus while Jesus walked the earth, then that Gospel is not worth considering.
If you believe this assessment, then I urge you to consider doing the following: go to your nearest university, go into the research library, find the history section, and burn it to the ground. Statistically NONE of those books in there, other than autobiographies and memoirs, were written by someone who had "skin in the game", the vast majority of history books were are written long after the fact by researchers and historians who interviewed witnesses, acquaintances of witnesses, historical records and other history books.

The Gospel According to John
The Gospel of John was the last written and the most individual Gospel of the four. While the three synoptic gospels were written before the fall of Jerusalem and have specific audiences in mind, the Gospel of John was written long after the end of Jewish temple worship and not directed to a specific group or culture, but to the world as a whole. John's presentation is unique also, due to the fact that John focuses on Jesus the Savior, not the Kingdom of God. The synoptic gospels present Christ the Messiah who is offering the promised Kingdom of God to the Jews, in John the kingdom is only mentioned five times in three verses.
The primary purpose of this gospel is actually stated in the gospel itself, the reader doesn't have to dig for meaning or implied reasoning, it's all right there:
Another unique thing about John is that it only covers 20 days in Jesus' life on earth and not in sequence. John does not record Jesus' birth, genealogy, childhood, baptism, temtation, transfiguration and assention of Jesus, but instead begins with the fact that Jesus is God (John 1:1-4). John records no parables and this is the only gospel to refer to Jesus as the "Lamb of God", an image familiar to Jews. The Jews understood the sacrifice of a lamb symbolized the taking away of sin.

The Gospel According To Mark
There is no internal documented evidence that the Gospel of Mark was written by Mark, or John Mark, the idea that the Gospel According to Mark came from the early church. The most important evidence comes from Papias (c. a.d. 140), who quotes an even earlier source as saying:
this tradition did not come to Mark as a finished, sequential account of the life of our Lord, but as the preaching of Peter—preaching directed to the needs of the early Christian communities;
Mark accurately preserved this material.
So if you don't want to outright reject the entire Gospel According to Mark as many scholars wish us to do, then you can rightly call it the Gospel According to Peter as it appears that John Mark was acting as Peter's secretary. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '435', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.964305818080902}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '208167', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FBHXYO3MT3ZWYFXMUXBVKRASPWZD3BYY', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7460eec2-9bac-4587-a06a-b7688e76ae4b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 19, 15, 2, 52), 'WARC-IP-Address': '216.58.218.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:72TOWARNXSMJGH2L675A276VEUEOODAM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:15015073-65fe-4b37-bf76-4266f55821a0>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://wideawakechristian.blogspot.com/2014/12/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:53a3294e-df40-49bc-a93d-9fc85b4b1e03>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '2192', 'url': 'http://wideawakechristian.blogspot.com/2014/12/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-145-170-239.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': '0.02587258815765381', 'original_id': 'a72197179d18e3728cbbe5969685025f8049790bc1231be285b8244f211d0f49'} |
The California cigarette market consists of the following supply and demand curves:
QD = 150 – 20p
QS = 40p
where Q is the number of packs of cigarettes per year (in millions!), and p is the price per pack.
a. Compute the market equilibrium price and quantity.
b. Calculate the price elasticities of each curve at the equilibrium price/quantity.
c. California imposes a tax on cigarettes of $0.90 per pack. Suppliers pay this tax to the government. Compute the after-tax price and quantity. How much do suppliers receive net of tax (per pack)?
d. Demand for cigarettes is generally more elastic over longer periods of time as consumers have more time to kick the habit. What does this imply about the tax incidence in the long run as compared to the short run?
a. Set the supply and demand equal:
150 – 20p = 40p
Solving for p:
p* = 2.5
Q* = 100
So the price is $2.50 per pack and 100 million packs of cigarettes sold.
b. The slope of the demand equation is:
dQD/dp = -20
The elasticity of demand is therefore
ED = -20 (2.5/100 ) = -0.5
The slope of the supply equation is:
dQS/dp = 40
The elasticity of supply is then:
ES = 40 (2.5/100 ) = 1.0
c. The supply with the tax becomes:
QS = 40(p – 0.90 )
The new equilibrium is where
40(p – 0.90 ) = 150 – 20p
60p = 180
p* = 3.10
The quantity is:
Q* = 150 – 20 (3.10 ) = 88
The price sellers earn net of tax (per pack) is 3.10 – 0.90 = $2.20.
d. The more elastic the demand curve is, the less of the burden falls on consumers. So over a longer period of time, the burden on consumers ($0.60 ) will move towards the suppliers. Price will fall from $3.10 as consumers quit smoking. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9190272688865662}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '42978', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:CEWKMO6RTFIM4SG6LAQVJYTLYXI66ODQ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:307b869b-a2f1-43c8-9706-50e7c1e8fcc8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 11, 27, 2, 34, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '162.214.161.144', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:EHHCEBGFTYYGIZGAMR2PRSOAHZCVYTBK', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0cf5c648-503f-4073-84d3-b39fa74c7cd6>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://foorquiz.com/the-california-cigarette-market-consists-of-the-following-supply-and-demand-curves/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:53696cbf-680d-4551-8b0f-a2b2f0744ae3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '273', 'url': 'https://foorquiz.com/the-california-cigarette-market-consists-of-the-following-supply-and-demand-curves/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-49\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November/December 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-40\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.34093213081359863', 'original_id': 'bdee063e69eab5978cba21216034a1e7c3af9ea3b4a306bde0b31d883b2ec184'} |

Le Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 366 (ou HMH-366) est un escadron d'hélicoptère de transport du Corps des Marines des États-Unis composé d'hélicoptères CH-53E Super Stallion. L'escadron, connu sous le nom de "Hammerheads" est basé à la Marine Corps Air Station New River, en Caroline du Nord depuis sa réactivation en 2016. Il est sous le commandement du Marine Aircraft Group 29 (MAG-29) et de la 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2nd MAW).
Le code de queue de l'escadron est "HH". Lors de leur activation le , l'escadron se composait de 130 Marines et de 8 hélicoptères et qui est passé à plus de 300 Marines et 16 hélicoptères en 2009.
Mission
Assurer le transport de soutien d'assaut des troupes de combat, des fournitures et de l'équipement lors d'opérations expéditionnaires, interarmées ou combinées à l'appui des opérations de la Force tactique terrestre et aérienne des Marines.
Historique
Origine
Le Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron-366 (HMH-366) a été initialement activé le au Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, à Hawaï, dans le cadre de l'Aviation Support Element Kaneohe (ASEK) où il était le seul escadron d'hélicoptères lourds en service actif dans le Corps des Marines. L'indicatif d'appel de l'escadron, "Hammerhead", a été inspiré par le fait que la baie de Kaneohe abrite la plus grande population de requins-marteaux au monde, et l'écusson original de l'unité comportait un requin-marteau sautant par-dessus un CH-53D en vol.
Service
Pendant qu'il était actif à Hawaï, l'escadron s'est déployé dans le Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands sur Kauai, la Pohakuloa Training Aera sur la grande île, et a terminé avec succès un déploiement sur le continent à l'appui d'exercices interarmes (CAX), et Cours d'instructeurs d'armes et de tactiques (WTI). L'escadron a également soutenu un déploiement de quatre avions à Dhaka, au Bangladesh, pour le soutien présidentiel de la visite du président Bill Clinton dans le pays.
Le , avec un nombre limité de CH-53D disponibles dans le Corps des Marines, et aucun CH-53D supplémentaire n'étant produit, l'escadron a été désactivé dans le cadre d'un plan de réalignement visant à redistribuer le personnel et les avions des unités aux trois escadrons CH-53D restants à Hawaï (HMH-362, HMH-363, HMH-463).
L'escadron a été réactivé le dans le cadre de l'expansion du Marine Corps. Depuis lors, l'escadron a participé à la dernière rotation HMH à l'appui de l' Opération Enduring Freedom en 2014 et à l' Exercice Trident Juncture qui a eu lieu en Norvège en 2018.

2010 and back to work
2010 is now here and I'm attempting to kickstart my research after the hiatus of the relocation. As this is my final MPhil year I will now need to formalise my PhD research and set it's parametres. To horrendously misuse a quote from MacBeth I need to now "Screw my research position to the sticking post" (sorry Bill).
In the fallow time between the last post and this I have been reading (not enough) and processing (not enough) that information. One book I have read and now re-reading is by Interaction Designer Jon Kolko. His book "Thoughts on Interaction Design" in it's introduction makes a value statement that an intrinsic value of IxD is in "the creation of a framework in which to experience these designs." (Kolko, 2010, p7) This value statement is to be seen in the context of IxDesigners as "shapers of behavior" (ibid).

Where I am right now
Since my last post in July a lot has happened that is all positive. I was shortlisted for a new job over summer and had to spend time preparing for it. The good news is that I got it and have been the brand spanking new Lecturer in Digital Design at Glasgow Caledonian University for two weeks now. A week before my interview I also gained the decisive email confirming I will be presenting my paper "Where's the Graphic Designer in the Graphical User interface?" at the IASDR2009 conference in Seoul, Korea. This conference begins a week today.
So I'm sure I'm forgiven for not posting anything to the blog for 2 months as I have been interestingly side-tracked by events. I'm writing this post from the Filmhouse cafe in Edinburgh where I am now permanently living*. This blog will be resumed on a more regular basis come November once all the seismic shifts have dissipated.
*I'm living in Edinburgh permanently, not the Filmhouse… just thought I'd make that clearer.

Update on progress
I've currently been focusing on understanding the Design Model and wading my way through the jungle of similar terms that may or may not be discussing the same concept that Norman does.
My main confusion had been whether Design Models and Design Patterns were the same concept. Through posts to IxDA and PhD-Design listserv and direct correspondence with academics I have been gaining some insight. I'd like to acknowledge the advise of C K Vijay Bhaskar, J. Ambrose Little and Paul Ralph from IxDA; and Filippo Salustri, Ranjit Menon, Sydney Hudspeth, Terence Love from PhD-Design listserv for their comments.
Added to these posts are an email conversation between myself and the two joint authors of the paper 'Understanding and Using Patterns in Software Development' Dirk Riehle and Heinz Zulligghoven. They have helped me see that Patterns are different from Models, and have encouraged my choice of research from a visual communication position.
>This is a quick post to acknowledge comments and advice… I'll post soon on the comments and the results gained from them.<

A quick acknowledgement of thanks…
During my last few posts I have been contacting various people from academia and interaction design for comments and input. A very valuable connection was made during this last week with Dr. Linden Ball of Lancaster University who emailed me a final proof of a paper he co-authored. Richardson and Ball's Internal Representations, External Representations and Ergonomics paper has just been published in Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science.
It is on ergonomics and cognitive representations, and in the first part of the paper the 2 authors' present a succinct explication on a broader mental model literature review. The clarity of their conclusions is very informative to someone who is from a design discipline. I will post later on how their paper has helped me process my understanding of the literature I have read. We are approaching the literature from the requirements of two different discipline inquiries, but notwithstanding the obvious deviations in the literature some of their sources suggest further HCI literature to read. It is clear that S.J. Payne is an author I still need to read. I haven't yet sourced any of his writing despite being cited within the other literature. His Russian doll analogy of the theoretical strata of a mental model, I am sure, will be very useful to me as a tool to understand Johnson-Laird's definition.
What I have found extremely useful in clarifying the difference between mental and cognitive models is contained in a comparison table at the end of the paper. I will summarize it here:
Mental Models are dynamic constructs within a person's working memory (WM) during the performance of a task. This means that a mental model is task-specific, informed by external representations and reasoning about the actions needing to be performed. Therefore a mental model is informed by the conceptual model, and not to be confused with it.
Conceptual Models are a construct of a person's long-term memory (LTM) and are non-task specific. This makes them static during a task as the underpinning reasoning associated with a conceptual model is informed by existing knowledge of a system, a pre-existing experience that aids their representation on how that system behaves. Like mental models they are also informed by external representations, but conceptual models inform a person to dynamically construct a mental model or image in order to use the system in question.
Now that I have a clearer understanding between the terms I can return and re-evaluate my last 4-5 posts.

Mental Model Literature Review - Part 3
This post continues my contextual/literature review and attempts to synthesise the older seminal work and newer work together.
Back in 1983 Gentner and Stevens presented a typology of methodologies to study mental models. They use the word 'eclectic' which, I deduce, may be where some current writers on the subject may have led to an imprecise use of the term mental model which I'll address in this post. The methodologies that Gentner and Stevens (1983, p2) present are:
• protocol analysis
• traditional cognitive psychology experiments
• developmental studies
• expert-novice studies
• simulation of possible psychological models
• comparison of the results of that simulation with what humans do
• field observation
• comparison across cultures
• comparison across time within the same culture
• designed field observation
Where Johnson-Laird's 1983 book focused upon the explication of mental models Gentner and Stevens' 1983 book focused upon application. Although these books are 25 years old they are still cited by current writers as the roots of mental model research. As interaction design emerged as a design discipline in its own right during the 1980s, cognitive scientific research informed its understanding of human behaviour. With the research came notable cognitive scientists such as Donald Norman. With the maturation of the discipline the tools for an interaction designer began to use personas in order for the design team to come to understand their target users. Personas are archetypes, derived from field observations, that embody the characteristics of each target user for the designers. The can then use the persona as a character mindset they can enter when they need to see the design from a user's point of view. Personas are not the same as a mental model
Over the last decade industry have identified different methodologies in order to understand the user in order to aid the design for them. One such methodology is affinity diagrams of user behaviours taken from ethnographic data. It is Indi Young from UX design company Adaptive Path who in recent years has been advocating affinity diagramming. It is a thorough methodology that interaction industry insiders find very rewarding. It is also problematic as this methodology is also referred to as mental models. In her 2008 book Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behaviour defines mental models as:
“Mental Models are simply affinity diagrams of behaviors made from ethnographic data gathered from audience representatives” (Young, 2008, pp2).
Not every interaction designer accepts this interpretation of a mental model. Nathan Kendrick of Designmap, in two replies to a posted question raised by Tom Dell'Aringa on the Interaction Design Association discussion board, disputes that this is nothing more than a task model. Dell'Aringa was asking for explication upon a mental model example in Young's book that uses an alignment diagram. Kendrick's response identifies with a cognitive scientific definition of the term, he says,
"This is a task model. Not mental model... mental models are the users (sic) understanding of how a system works. This particular method is to bridge user research and site IA. (…) the key difference meaning the task model has undergone analysis, synthesis, and ultimately organized by someone other than the user. A mental model is a user's messy, sometimes illogical understanding of how something operates." (Dell'Aringa, 2007)
In an podcast interview with Jared Spool, Indi Young defended her interpretation of the term against the confusion it causes within the discipline:
"It doesn't cause as much confusion as it causes debate. In HCI they teach a very narrow definition of mental model, they say it is something the user has in their head of how some particular piece of equipment they are working with works, or how some particular interaction they're going through works. In cognitive science, actually years ago, the definition of mental model had been expanded to mean lots of different concept models, so the idea that they are teaching just this one very narrow definition is a little dismaying. But if people can just open their mind to the idea there are lots of different ways to use that phrase mental model then it makes a lot of sense or the type of models that we're interpreting. We're building these mental models not out of something we're thinking, but we're letting the tasks build themselves, so basically all we're doing is interpreting this data that's already out there that already exists in other people's heads as to their mental model of how they get something done. So its not a mental model of how something works but its how they get something gets done. So maybe they are using lots of different tools and doing lots of different interactions, it is just a tiny extension of the old HCI definition. So I think that's totally acceptable. People may want to debate it - and say 'well gosh we are going to be confused' - but I don't think that, we're smart monkeys and we wont be confused." (Spool, 2008)
Gentner and Stevens (Gentner & Stevens, 1983, pp1-3) saw mental model research as fundamentally concerned with human’s knowledge of their world being examined and understood through cognitive processing. They identified the research, twenty-five years ago, as having three key dimensions that define and characterize it. These three dimensions inspect the nature of the modelling from the study of the methodology, the domain, and the theoretical approach. I began this post with a list of the various methodologies that they identified, and I will deal with methodology to place Young’s affinity modelling into a context. Before I do I wish to explore the other two dimensions, of which the domain contains the subject for the theoretical approach and selected methodology.
The domain they advance is the context for the experience of the phenomenon. The subject that a person focuses upon to make sense of happens in the real world. The person needs to predict what will happen based upon the affordances of the subject in question, past experiences of similar subjects, and inferences. The domain in which this happens either facilitates the successful dynamic construction of a model, or impedes it. Preece in her book Human Computer Interaction identifies (Preece et al, 1995, p136) the context-dependent nature of a model formed within a domain as a functional model. In her eyes the advantage of being context-dependent is that the mental model is easier to use. The domain can also be identified as the interactive system that the person is involved with and trying to make sense of. Preece in her later book Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction (Preece et al, 2002, p92) expands on learning from being context-dependent within a domain. She makes the important point that as the person develop their learning of how to use and work within the system, it doesn’t mean that the person actually understands HOW that system works. This is a crucial pivotal point that both Norman (1998) and Cooper (2007) address by different terms, they both identify making sense of how to use a system as the user’s mental model but the former calls understanding the system as the system model, whilst the latter calls this the implementation model.
The final dimension raised by Gentner and Stevens is that of the theoretical approach. Twenty–five years ago they identified a confluence of research from cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence that synergised the research of the day. This confluence has certainly developed as cognitive science grew from its multidisciplinary origins. Now recognised as a discipline in its own right it has continued its application across multidisciplinary boundaries, and has influenced interaction design, itself a discipline built upon synergy. Mental models have become a useful tool for the interaction designer, and it is still crucial to maintain a clear understanding of what is meant by the term. Young, with her definition of mental model has created a very useful tool for interaction designers but also has muddied the waters. In interview she is partly correct in citing that cognitive science over the years has expanded the “definition of mental model” but it is not HCI who are teaching “just this one very narrow definition”, it is defining affinity diagramming up using a recognised term. It is essentially a decision made at the publisher’s that is making the confusion, as Young’s methodology is proven, useful and informative, but it is as interaction designer Nathan Kendrick sums it up,
In this post I wanted to synergise several points into a thread spanning twenty-five years of the literature and place Young’s very useful methodology into a clearer context. I feel that the methods she uses can be very useful in my future practical project to understand and evaluate aspects of the user’s behaviour and attitude towards defining a design model, but to understand a user’s mental model the cognitive scientists have tested methodologies that will be more useful.
Again I must reiterate that this post is not a thesis but a process. This post together with earlier and later posts will be re-read and re-evaluated in order to write a paper to support my PhD project. There are still additional theories I wish to explore such as Suchman’s situated actions, aspects of embodied cognition and Winograd, that I haven’t yet touched upon in these posts so far. There are several useful points I may add to a new post that begins this process, but I foresee the paper being the place where these influences will appear.

Mental Model Literature Review - Part 2
In the previous post I began with attempting to shape my understanding of Mental Models by looking at some of the seminal books and papers often cited. I have not yet personally arrived at any full understanding of mental models nor how to use them to explore my primary research into Design Models. In this post I want to explore some of the language and concepts that appear to be common to the study. One of the reason's for doing this is not just to understand the language from another discipline, but to be able to use the language to fix my research position in cognitive science, before discussing Indy Young's interpretation of mental models within interaction design (Young, 2008).
Again, for the casual reader of this blog, I must state that this post is simply an exercise in synthesising my research to help me understand this complex subject. This post is not a finished thesis by any means, and shouldn't be read as such. I do aim to formalise this research into a paper to underpin my first practical PhD project later on. So feel free to comment, suggest other interpretations, disagree etc.
‘Why do people use mental models?’ We think mental models assist human reasoning in a variety of ways. They can be used as inference engines to predict the behavior of physical systems. They can also be used to produce explanations or justifications. In addition, they can serve as mnemonic devices to facilitate remembering.”
(Williams et al, 1983, p135)
"Mental Models are simply affinity diagrams of behaviors made from ethnographic data gathered from audience representatives. (...) A mental model for a particular topic is, in essence, an affinity diagram of user behaviors."
(Young, 2008, pp2-3)
Spanning 25 years the language as to what constitutes a mental model has naturally expanded, contracted, morphed and become specialised. But is the term still describing the same cognitive concept? There appears to be be a marked difference in the use of the term at present within interaction design than the term used by Cooper, Norman and those within the cognitive science discipline. Building upon the research documented seminally in 1983, mental models at present seems to have two appearances: Indy Young's 'affinity diagram of user behaviours' (2008) and 'cognitive modelling to aid understanding'. Alan Cooper, author and chairman of interaction design company Cooper, sees things more from a more user-centred perspective akin to the cognitive scientists definition. Cooper, Norman and others understand mental models as a personal tool used by each individual to make sense of a situation, task or encounter. Cooper says,
“A person’s mental model is their own internal representation of reality – the way they think about or explain something to themselves. Mental models are deeply ingrained and are often the result of a lifetime of experience. People’s expectations about a product and the way it works are highly informed by their mental model.” (Cooper et al, 2007, p118)
Therefore to enable me to reach a clear definition of mental models, that will lead me onto my research into the Design Model, I will now explore the language found within the literature in order to resolve the Young/cognitive science interpretation of the term. I will explore Young's idea and methodology in another post.
One of the aspects of mental models is that humans recognize structural patterns based upon previous experience or understanding of previous functionality. Mental models cannot and do not emerge fully formed, they are dynamically conceptualized from components of previous experience and knowledge. The individual selects the closest fitting components that together give them a model to understand the causality of the interaction. These components of experience/knowledge come from a prior learning process, and will themselves evolve into better components due to familiarity with the interaction over time. These components that are dynamically placed into a causal linear context are said to be cognitively "runnable". The person can conceptually "run" the causal components in their minds to envision the actual interaction, its process and its consequences. The term interaction referred to here is a general term. Interaction is a term that has an identity issue due to the different disciplines involved in defining it. Dr. Sally McMillan identified this problem nine years ago,
"while some scholars see interactivity as a function of the medium itself, others argue that interactivity resides in the perceptions of those who participate in the communication."
(McMillan, 2000)
It could be argued that the very nature of the range of definitions for interaction enriches the research surrounding its possibilities, but it can also obscure unless the exact parameters are defined to contextualise what form interactivity takes. One current industrial interpretation by Hugh Dubberly et al, of Dubberly Design Office (DDB) in San Francisco, of interaction approaches it from a systems-theory point of view (Dubberly et al, 2009). In an article posted on the DDB website he and his colleagues explore a broader systems interpretation of interaction. A paper I have previously found useful is one by Dr. Spiro Kiousis which was an explication of the term. In "" Kiousis suggests that
"interactivity is both a media and psychological factor that varies across communication technologies, communication contexts, and people's perceptions."
(Kiousis, 2002, p355)
In his explication he identifies a literature review, which by current standards a good historical benchmark, of types of interactivity. Through this he concludes that there are three common factors to interactivity from an operational point of view:
"technological structure of the media used (e.g. speed, range, timing flexibility, and sensory complexity), characteristics of communication settings (e.g. third-order dependency and social presence), and individuals’ perceptions (e.g. proximity, perceived speed, sensory activation, and telepresence)."
(Kiousis, 2002, p379)
Dubberly et al in the intervening years explore the transfer function of interaction. Looking to both Norman and Verplank Dubberly et al explore the dynamism of interactivity,
"in ‘interaction’ the precise way that ‘input affects output’ can itself change; moreover in some categories of ‘interaction’ that which is classed as ‘input’ or ‘output’ can also change, even for a continuous system"
(Dubberly et al, 2009, p3)
They refine this dynamic definition of interactivity to cover six systems: reacting, regulating, learning, balancing, managing & entertaining, and conversing (see diagram). Now I don't want to stray too far in discussing the definitions of interactivity in this post too much, I feel it is important if I am to make sense of a user's mental model being constructed to understand the interaction they are involved in. The component models that a user will "run" will naturally follow their previous experience, which in turn will informed by a form of interactivity they previously encountered. Therefore to understand a mental model dynamically conceived is contingent on also the form the interaction takes. Here is where Norman's term 'system image' twenty five years ago was coined to describe the cognitive process of how a user identifies the causality of the interaction. Each component model a person joins together to make sense of the interaction can be viewed as an 'object' with its own autonomy, its own properties are invariant and modular so that when dynamically formed as a mental model to understand one problem, that model can be disintegrated dynamically and rebuilt into a new model for a different problem using the same cognitive components. These component models of understanding are often naive, fallible, incomplete and inaccurate under quantifiable or qualitative scrutiny. They are based upon perception, learnt behaviour, deduction and previous experience of affordances. Therefore they are empirical and heuristical (Williams et al, 1983).
To understand a phenomenon the person establishes a proposition as to what needs to be achieved. This proposition is arrived at through the affordances that the phenomenon suggests. Leaving affordances to one side while I continue to nail down the roots of understanding the formation of a Mental Model. I will still be quoting from work done twenty five years ago, still cited today as seminal works, in order to then cross-examine with newer ideas as to what constitutes a mental model. Johnson-Laird was the first describe the cognitive process from a propositional reasoning point of view. Beginning with a hypothesis that people form visual images of objects and scenes by using their imaginations and experiences to dress the images, Johnson-Laird identifies that there are two psychology schools of thought upon the understanding of images: the 'imagists' and the 'propositionists'. The imagist school argue that images are a distinct form of mental representation, while the propositionist school argue that images are a secondary phenomenon, that images are a 'single underlying form of mental representation, and that images merely allows the stored experiences from previous phenomena to be more easily accessed. People who draw on this store are not adding any new information in the construction of an image. It is secondary to and underlying the main propositional representation from which an image is created. It is crucial to state that propositions in regard to mental representation are boolean, abstract and their structure are not "analogous to the structure of the objects they represent". Mental representation can therefore be broken down into three forms. The propositional representations are strings of symbols strung together to form the syntax that elucidates the mental model. The mental model is a structural analogue of the phenomenon, while the image are perceptual correlates, complimentary visualisations created from mental representations of the model from a particular point of view (Johnson-Laird, 1983). Johnson-Laird describes the distinctions between them as high-level mental processing, and ultimately the construction and manipulation of a mental model is to make it possible for a person to "reason without logic". To explain this I wish to quote Johnson-Laird's explication on propositional reasoning before I end this post.
“Philosophers have generally taken propositions to be conscious objects of thought – those entities that we entertain, believe, think, doubt, etc., and that are expressed by sentences (…). Since I am concerned, not with the nature of the ‘machine code’ of the brain (…), but with the types of higher level of representation, I propose to revert henceforth to the traditional philosophical terminology: a propositional representation is a mental representation of a verbally expressible proposition. (…) Propositions can refer to the world. Human beings, of course, do not apprehend the world directly; they possess only an internal representation of it, because perception is the construction of a model of the world. They are unable to compare this perceptual representation directly with the world – it is their world (…). Propositions can also refer to the imaginary or hypothetical worlds. One proposition may be false of such a world given that others are true of it. Human beings can evidently construct mental models by acts of imagination and can relate propositions to such models. (…) Unlike a propositional representation, a mental model does not have an arbitrarily chosen syntactic structure, but one that plays a direct representational role since it is analogous to the structure of the corresponding state of affairs in the world – as we perceive or conceive it. However, the analogical structure of mental models can vary considerably. (…) A characteristic difference in the contents of mental models, images, and propositional representations, concerns their specificity. Models, like images, are highly specific – a characteristic which has often drawn comment from philosophers. (…) Hence, if you reason on the basis of a model or image, you must take pains to ensure that your conclusion goes beyond the specific instance you considered" (1983, p155-158).
I will end this long post here as I wish to take another approach to understanding a mental model in my next posts. Again let me leave you, the reader, with my purpose for this post. It isn't a completed thesis by any means, merely a representation of the process I am taking to synthesize and understand a very complex subject. My interpretations, assumptions and understanding so far may be wholly wrong, naive or even accurate. This post in its current state should merely be read with my intentions in mind. Any comments, suggestions etc. would greatly be appreciated, especially if you are from a cognitive science discipline.

Mental Model Literature Review - Part 1
In this post I not only wish to contextually review the literature on mental models but also to define the use of the term that will be central to my first practical PhD project. Mental Models is unfortunately a term that has had its meaning diluted by non-cognitive science practioners such as Indi Young (more on this later). Therefore I will be exploring Mental Models firstly from a cognitive science perspective in order then to draw parallels and influences into Interaction Design. This post is not a defined thesis on my part but an attempt to draw together the essence of mental models. There will be theoretical holes in what I will post, so feel free to point them out. Look on what follows as simply my first attempt to stitch together my understanding of a very complex cognitive science discourse, from a discipline that is not my own. I will continue this literature review across several posts with the aim of refining my understanding.
To begin with I am going to quote psychologist Kenneth Craik (1914-1945) from his 1943 book The Nature of Explanation. Craik is cited by cognitive scientist Johnson-Laird in his 1983 seminal work Mental Models as proposing the first modern hypothesis on humans being processors of information in order to understand phenomena.
”If the organism carries a “small-scale model” of external reality and of its own possible actions within its head, it is able to try out various alternatives, conclude which is the best of them, react to future situations before they arise, utilise knowledge of past events in dealing with present and future, and in every way to react in a much fuller, safer, and more competent manner to emergencies which face it.” (Craik, 1943, p57)
This statement was to open up a whole new area of research within the already new scientific discipline of cognitive science. By 1983 Mental Models research had two seminal works that explored this concept. Johnson-Laird proposed that the human mind uses propositional reasoning instead of reductive mathematical logic to understand phenomena. Gentner and Stevens, in their edited collection of papers, also entitled Mental Models, present a diverse range of views, including an early paper by Dr Donald Norman who here begins the discourse upon the Design Model. If Johnson-Laird proposes propositional reasoning, then Gentner and Stevens' book explores the structure of knowledge representations specific to different domains of application. Johnson-Laird states in introducing his book,
"The psychological core of understanding, I shall assume, consists in your having a 'working model' of the phenomenon in your mind. (…) you have a mental representation that serves as a model of an entity (…) A model has, in Craik’s phrase, a similar ‘relation-structure’ to the process it models, and hence it can be useful explanatorily; a simulation merely mimics the phenomenon without relying on a similar underlying relation-structure. Many of the models in people’s minds are little more than high-grade simulations, but they are none the less useful provided that the picture is accurate; all representations of physical phenomena necessarily contain an element of simulation." (Johnson-Laird, 1983, p2/4)
The importance here is that a 'relation-structure' the functionality of a cognitive conceptual model. To propose an explanation on how a phenomenom works, a model that is constructed by a person is NOT improved by them also trying to understand the specific context it is encountered in. The specific context is not transferable to another context but the mental model will be. The model will not be complete each time it is applied, but in Chomsky's term 'explanatory adequate'. To Johnson-Laird because a mental model is constructed by mental logic, mental logic has six main problems. Inference, formulation and deduction all are contributory to the empirical nature of mental logic. He lists the problems as (pp39-40):
1. People make fallacious inferences.
2. Which logic, or logics, are to be found in the mind?
3. How is logic formulated in the mind?
4. How does a system of logic arise in the mind?
5. What evidence there is about the psychology of reasoning suggests that deductions are not immune to the content of the premises.
6. People follow extra-logical heuristics when they make spontaneous inferences.
People's powers of deriving a reasoned solution based upon a premise they have, or from precedence is strongly affected by their own cognition that is deceptive. Mental models, although helpful to understanding a phenomenon, are inherently 'incomplete' (Johnson-Laird, 1983)(Norman, 1983), 'doubtful validity' (Norman, 1983), 'fragmentary' (Norman, 1998), 'dynamically constructed' (Preece et al, 1995), and 'not always correct' (Gentner and Gentner, 1983). As Johnson-Laird argues, the formulation of a mental model to understand a phenomenon is 'propositional reasoning' on behalf of each individual. Norman explains this in more accessible terms:
"The power of mental models is that they let you figure out what would happen in novel situations. Or, if you are actually doing the task and there is a problem, they let you figure out what is happening. If the model is wrong you will be wrong too." (Norman, 1998, p71)
If the person's proposition regarding the causality, relationships and mechanisms within a phenomenon encountered is poorly appreciated then their understanding of that phenomenon will not work. But an incomplete proposition that does capture the behaviour of that phenomenon, that for them represents the causality and mechanisms of that phenomenon based upon previous experiences, or from fragmentary experiences of aspects of similar phenomena, can arrive at an 'explanatory adequate' mental model. This is why Norman describes the human mental process as "unscientific" that supports Johnson-Laird's argument that humans do not use reductive mathematical logic as the brain is a computer. In their book The Embodied Mind Varelo et al refer to phenomenologist Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) to contextualise human cognition from a different perspective, where a human's 'sensorimotor capacities' is enabling enough to successfully interact within an environment with the phenomenon. According to their thesis Husserl claimed
"that to understand cognition, we cannot take the world naively but must see it instead as having the mark of our own structure. He also took the second step, at least partially, in realizing that that structure (the first step) was something that he was cognizing with his own mind.(…)He explicitly focused on the experience of consciousness in what he called the “lived-world.” The lived world is not the naive, theoretical conception of the world found in the natural attitude. It is, rather, the everyday social world, in which theory is always directed toward some practical end. Husserl argued that all reflection, all theoretical activity, including science, presupposes the life-world as a background. The task of the phenomenologist now became the analysis of the essential relation between consciousness, experience, and this life-world.” (Varelo et al, 1996, pp16-17)
For each person to construct a mental model of a phenomenon based upon proposition reasoning, entails them cognizing the problem from their previous experiences built into a appropriate functional model (Preece et al, 1995) developed from existing knowledge of a similar context. As a mental model is a dynamic conceptual tool to solve a problem within a phenomena, they can be be said to be drawn from Husserl's concept of the 'lived-world'.

Design Model - Notes in Progress
My starting point in researching the concept of the design model will begin with defining exactly what that model is. My starting point will be balanced between three writers on the subject: Don Norman, Alan Cooper and Richard Young. I will in this post clarify what a design model is and what its purpose is. I will also discuss the difference between a design model and the interface design itself.
Defining the Design Model
To begin with the design model it is crucial that the varying terminology used by the writers is explained and synthesised into one term. Before I continue with defining this particular model I think it is important to mention the variant terms used since 1983 in order to synthesise into one term. User's conceptual model, represented model and designer's model are all terms that point to the same cognitive tool. The cognitive science research into mental models emerged into the literature in 1983 (more about this in a separate post). Dr. Donald Norman, a cognitive scientist who transitioned across disciplines into human-computer interaction and interaction design, began to develop his design model research at this time. In Mental Models edited by Gentner and Stevens, one of the two 1983 seminal books on this subject, Norman wrote about the System Image.
Term One: The System Image
In his chapter Some Observations on Mental Models Norman proposes that the conceptual model a person makes about an interactive system should have, in an ideal world, its design based around that model.
"This conceptual model should govern the entire human interface with the system, so that the image of that system seen by the user is consistent, cohesive, and intelligible." (Norman, 1983, p13)
This image, the system image is Norman's early separation of the conceptual model for representing design decisions from a user's mental model of how an interactive system works. Within conceptual models images, according to Johnson-Laird, are "perceptual correlates of models from a particular point of view" (Johnson-Laird, 1983, p165). Johnson-Laird, in his 1983 book Mental Models tells us that “many people report that they can use their imaginations to form a visual image of an object or a scene." (ibid, p147) This 'mental model' is a high-level cognitive process, a mental representation of the functionality and causality of an interaction that is constructed by an individual person. An 'image' is one of three forms of mental representation; the other two being a mental model and a propositional representation. To keep this post focused upon the design model I will keep this brief. If a mental model is a person's 'structural analogue' for understanding an interaction, then an 'image' is the interface designer's conceptualization of how to facilitate a person's success from that interaction. It is dangerous to infer that a 'system image' is the visual interface design - the graphic design. That is a feature of the 'system image' but not its whole.
The 'system' is a key component of this term. The interactive system of the product is based upon algorithmic principles and functions according to the coded commands of that system. People do not, or will not, understand its complexity before using the interactive product. Their interest is using the product to solicit a successful conclusion to a particular goal (whatever that can be defined as). The interface between the task and the goal, the user and the conclusion, is conceptualized by the designers. It is in the interest of the person using the interactive product to feel satisfied that they have successfully achieved what they set out to achieve. Therefore a interaction designer needs to conceptualize a method to facilitate the easiest way for the user to gain their goal. This is achieved by taking into account the user experience of the product, the user's behaviour (suggested by their mental models of using the product - see separate post), human factors, branding, semiotics, accessibility and usability, and information flow. How a designer processes these design parameters, conceptualizing them into a successful design is where a design model comes cognitively into its own.
Term Two: UCM - User's Conceptual Model
It was in 1983 that Norman and Young began to identify this design modelling as part of the cognitive science discourse. Norman developed the 'system image' idea further over the next decade until Cooper defined it within interaction design discourse. Before I proceed to Cooper's 'represented model' I first want to stay in 1983 and mention Richard Young's discussion on what Norman is raising. Young doesn't deal directly with the designer's conceptualization, but in discussing the then term UCM (user's conceptual model) he does also discuss the designer. Young explores the same trinity of cognitive conceptualization, that of the user's modelling of the system, how the system itself works and how to facilitate the interface between them. His discourse is a cogitation between the differing aims of a cognitive psychologist and a designer towards observing and helping the user. He is unclear if the psychologist and designer should share the same conceptual model as the user due to the differing requirements from the model. These differing requirements from the UCM, Young suggests, could possibly shape it in different ways, depending upon who it is.
Although the UCM doesn't live long as a term within my literature review, in 1983 Young postulates a point that both Norman and Cooper develop over the next 20 years. Young does state that a designer could, or should, share the model a user has of an interactive product. But to facilitate the product's successful use, the designer needs to incorporate assumptions on how a user will engage with it (based upon the user's mental model) and use it. He remarks that this conceptual model the designer would use will be cruder than the model that explains the implementation of the system. This model, constructed by the designer, may appear to invalidate aspects of the model that more closely correlates with the interactive system's actual implementation. This is where the design model, to me begins to become defined. Norman's writing and Young's, both included in the same seminal edited book on Mental Models from 1983, begin this discourse that, I suggest, develops over the next twenty five years through HCI and interaction design through practical work. I am suggesting that the design model is theoretically under-examined within both cognitive science and the design disciplines, whereas the research into user's mental models has progressed. The research into a design model is a subset of mental models but, I believe, could re-focus the application of visual communication within interaction design (Young, 1983, p35).
My final task within this post is to bring the design model discourse up to date. This is where I will turn my attention to Cooper's term of the 'represented model'.
Term Three: Represented Model
Alan Cooper, of interaction design company Cooper, in his 2007 book About Face 3 discusses Norman's concept, referring to it more specifically as a 'designer's model rather than design model. With a background emerging out of software design Cooper et al Cooper draws upon the terminology of that discipline and prefers to call this cognitive model a designer'sRepresented Model. Within software development a "program's represented model can (and often should) be quite different from the actual processing structure of the program" (Cooper et al, 2007, p29). The processing structure referred to is the the third cognitive model of the actual implementation and processing of the system. In interaction design for software the "ability to represent the computer’s functioning independent of its true actions (…) allows a clever designer to hide some of the more unsavoury facts of how the software is really getting the job done" (ibid, 2007, p29) It is within this cognitive abstraction that the "disconnection between what is implemented and what is offered as an explanation" occurs, and the represented model is choices that a designer makes based upon understanding both the system's functioning (implementation model) and the user's understanding of how they perceive it to work (mental model).
It is suspended between two different cognitive models that the represented model exists. A way for the designer to translate the cold, algorithmic functionality of an interactive system into a warmer experience, designed around a user's understanding of how they perceive the system works. Therefore a designer needs to understand and communicate through information architecture, visual and experience design, an interface that is conceived through a designer's cognitive model derived by understanding both a model for implementation and a model of how a user cognitively understands the process. This mental model is based each individual user's own experience and what they have learnt. These will raise or lower their expectations of how the interactive system works, according to their own cognitive ability (more on this in another post). The closer a designer gets to the general expectations of the users, the consensus is, the easier the interaction process will be, "One of the most important goals of the designer should be to make the represented model match the mental model of users as closely as possible" (ibid, 2007, p70). To do this a designer must have the research that formally records user expectations, their attitude, their perceived expectation and influences upon that expectation, and cognitive factors that contribute to the complexity of the model. "Intelligent people always learn better when they understand cause and effect, so you must give them an understanding of why things work as they do" Cooper et al suggests; by following the user's model "it will provide the understanding the user needs without forcing him to figure out the implementation model" (ibid, 2007, p46). The final conclusion from Cooper's discussion of represented model is a sobering idea about the user, "Everything a user does is something he or she considers to be valid and reasonable. Most people don’t like to admit to mistakes in their own minds, so the program shouldn’t contradict this mindset in its interactions with users" (ibid, 2007, p336).
A final note on why I prefer to use Norman's term design model is that there is a subtle difference between Cooper and Norman's two cognitive models. Although both are discussing the same cognitive process, for me, the term design model is a clearer term to use when discussing how to conceptualize an interactive system for a user. As the designer ultimately must communicate through the interactive system itself of how it works to a user, the designer must design the user interface so it is closer to how the user believes the interactive system works. I will in two further posts explore the user's mental model and methodologies for understanding them, before expanding upon the design model.
This post is not my definitive thesis upon this subject, but merely my current understanding and synthesis. I will be revising my views over the coming weeks in light of posting. Any comments would be helpful for me in that process.

Design Model - statement
Literature Review
As my literature review has come to its current end on Mental Models I will now, over the next week, use this blog and my PhD Project Blog as a sounding board to synthesise all the cognitive science research I've engaged in since February. The forthcoming posts will hopefully inform a paper that will theoretically under-pin my first practical design project as part of my PhD. Please feel free to comment and make suggestions as I shape my understanding of Mental Models from a visual communication perspective. The main cognitive literature I have read and will use can be found at the bottom of this post. I will list the embodied cognition literature in a separate post.
Design Model
My desire is to creatively experiment through interactive design prototyping what Donald Norman describes as the Design Model. This is a designer's cognitive model of how an interactive product's functionality can be visually, spatially and temporally represented so that a user can operate the interactive product. The Design Model, a conceptual visualization on the designer's part, helps solicit the correct design choices to allow a user to use and experience the interactive product easily. The interactivity of the product is architectured in such a way to be implemented through coding and algorithms. This mechanistic programming of interaction may be HOW the product works, but the user won't understand how a product works from an implementation perspective.
User's Cognition
Users understand that an interactive product has to be experienced, and that causality affords decision-making as to how to use a product. Through cause and effect, prior experience and varying degrees of cognitive problem-solving, user's individually discover their method for understanding how to use the product. User's may all be able to use the same interactive product, but if asked HOW it works they will not be able to explain it based upon how implementally it was coded. They each will approximate a model of HOW they understand it works. As the cognitive science literature points out this user model will probably be fallacious, inferred, deduced, inaccurate and contradictory; but by constructing the cognitive model the user reasons how to use the interactive product. This user cognitive model is referred to as a user's Mental Model.
In my posts I will unpack these cognitive models in order to understand how to improve understanding of the Design Model in order to add to the sparse literature within interaction design and visual communication disciplines. Firstly I will process the cognitive science literature on mental models to ground myself in understanding HOW a user processes causal information. I will then post, as an alternative cognitive perspective, on how embodied cognition may view the same subject. Throughout I will be expanding upon what has been written about the Design Model.
To end I just need to clarify my use of the terminology regarding Design Model. As with any subject that sits across disciplines people arrive at the same or similar concepts using different terminology. In trying to avoid a taxonomic history I will keep things simple. Norman uses the term design model (Norman, 1998) whilst interaction designer Alan Cooper calls it a representational model (Cooper et al, 2008). Cooper also refers to Norman's term as a designer's model. An earlier term from the Eighties used in the context of a designer was a "UCM" or user's conceptual model (Young, 1983).
To keep things simple within my research I will now only use Norman's term Design Model. I choose Norman's term as it is the simplest term to describe what all three describe, and a term that is devoid of personal individual ownership.

Air rage terrorist in the waiting,

Air rage terrorist in the waiting, or cranky old man? I can understand flight crews taking every caution with their captive audience, but will the new "zero tolerance" policies make for an airline police state, where shoddy treatment is the norm, and passengers dare not speak out Or Else?
posted by Oriole Adams (27 comments total)
Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to be @ 30K feet to find some @$$hole in First Class who decides to fsck with the pilots and/or flight attendants because they can't get their way. Who cares if he was (as the article states) "a great-grandfather and World War II veteran "?
People like this endanger the safety and lives of the crew and passengers. I've travelled a lot in my time, and I've never had such bad service that has made me threaten and/or intimidate any of the crew.
These pilots and flight attendents aren't dumb; if it was bad enough to land the plane, my guess is the guy was a clear and present danger to everyone on the plane.
All this for a "Diet Sprite with no ice", too...
posted by crankydoodle at 4:08 PM on August 23, 2001
I think the flight crews put up with BS for a long time using threats and freebies, in the name of customer service. But since the 2 (two) incidents last year involving deranged passengers attempting to interfere with the plane, even open emergency doors, I think most airlines have abruptly moved to a zero-tolerance policy.
Read this pointed analysis of the one where the young man was choked to death while being restrained by passengers. Heroic lifesaving volunteers, or mob action gone awry?
I'm also seriously wondering about the possibility of the physical environment of airplanes contributing to psychological conditions. Is the oxygen mix right? Are there toxic materials in the interior? Perhaps there's an unsuspected trigger. I hope this is being carefully studied.

"Our senior management once believed the customer was always right," Hotard said. "Well, today we don't have that view. There are some folks we do not want flying our airlines. Now we back up our flight attendants."
This quote (from a senior airline official) sums up neatly why I hate to fly. The customer may not always be right, but he's still paying your salary and deservers some respect and courtesy.
posted by Bluecoat93 at 4:13 PM on August 23, 2001
The customer deserves exactly as much respect and courtesy as he gives you. If you're going on a plane, simply refrain from being an asshole for the duration of the flight and you'll be treated fine.

Where "fine" is defined as "an unfeeling piece of cargo that must be relocated from Point A to Point B at the lowest possible cost, with no concern for your comfort, convenience, and/or health."

kindall: Wouldn't you agree that this applies just as much to the flight crew as to the passengers? Courtesy isn't a one-way street.
Case in point: last year I got bumped off a KLM flight to Amsterdam. The gate staff were unbelievably rude to me and the other folks that got bumped. In fact, they refused our polite requests to help us reschedule our flights until we ganged up on them and threatened to all march straight to their managers. Should I have just tucked my tail between my legs and walked away in that situation?
On the flipside of that experience, I just returned from Amsterdam on KLM. This time, our flight was cancelled due to a hydraulic leak. The ground crew couldn't have been more helpful. They gave us regular updates on the plane's status, and when it became clear that the flight wasn't going to go, they quickly and effeciently booked us all into the excellent Sheraton hotel next to Schiphol and then organized both a dinner buffet and a breakfast buffet the next morning. They even gave me a gratis upgrade to biz class. All of the passengers behaved in a gracious and understanding way despite this big inconvenience because the airlines didn't treat them like shit!

As the guy tells it, they kept making him wait while serving other passengers around him. When you fly first class, they ALWAYS serve you while the flight is boarding. Maybe this guy, being a bit on the elderly side, had a severly dry mouth, or had had a coughing fit, or maybe he had to take his medication. Or whatever. They did not follow standard procedures in HIS case, but seemed to be doing so in others cases. Doesn't seem right to me. I'd be pissed too.
Oh, and for the record, "flight attendants" (which seems to be the phrase for them this year), are not nearly as friendly (on the whole) as they used to be. I find, each time I fly, and increasingly surly bunch of people, which is a damn shame because I'm pretty much always nice to them.
How wonderfully smug and elitist is this quote:
"We call it the vulgarization of air travel," said John Hoff, a Chicago attorney who specializes in aviation issues. "The flip-flops and tank-top set has found its way to the airports from the bus depot."
Fuck you and your snobbery. I don't remember reading anywhere on the ticket that people below your class had to take the bus, you pompous ass...

Strange. I've been flying a lot recently, and I don't get that feeling when I fly.
To me the stewards and stewardesses are nothing but kind, respectful, helpful and always going out of their way to get me what I need.
I blame people for the decline of customer service. You get treated like shit, and yet you still go back because the fares are cheap.
What airlines are you flying?
posted by perplexed at 4:54 PM on August 23, 2001
Some people are rude a**holes and don't deserve good service. However, if you're just an ordinary passenger there are times when you have to act like a rude a**hole. Many airline people work really hard to give good service and I'm amazed by the amount of patience they display but if as a customer you've tried reasonable requests, polite reminders, trying to deal with another employee, and the issue is important enough (peanuts are not important enough) you have to switch into bitch mode. It's what employees pay attention to. It's what they reward. The airline aren't going to give you anything for your lost luggage or delayed fight unless you make them.
Many years ago I flew to Paris. I think the airline was TWA. I bought the ticket a few weeks in advance and then realized that I needed to change the return date. Fine TWA does it. I get to the airport. They give me boarding passes for both ends of the flight. I go to Paris. A few days later I go the airport and try to return. No, no, no. It seems that the fare I originally purchased the ticket with was restricted and the first valid return dates were several days away. I HAD THE TICKET AND BOARDING PASS IN MY HAND. The gate agents were sympathetic and so on and so on but nothing changed until I got angry and made it clear that I was going to stand there until the problem was resolved. I never screamed at anyone but I did manage to drive the first customer service person away from the counter. The second customer service person gave in and put me on the flight. This was years ago before Europe had even begun deregulating airline travel so there was much less pressure on TWA agents to screw the customer than there would be (if TWA existed) today and I still had to act like an asshole.
If airlines weren't afraid of making real commitments like actually telling passengers the truth about delayed flights or really trying to find your luggage and deliver it to you, then I think there'd be a lot less air rage.

Southwest Airlines all the way, baby (in CONUS)!!!
Perhaps they don't have the prettiest fabric on their seats or "First Class"; but *dang* their crews are fun, attentive, and always courteous! Plus, the flights are usually nice-n-cheap! :)
posted by crankydoodle at 5:09 PM on August 23, 2001
Work for an airline for six months (on the ground or in the air) and you'll have a lot more respect for the flight crews and what they have to deal with.
And rdr, "It seems that the fare I originally purchased the ticket with was restricted"--an airline ticket is a contract and if you want to change the rules doesn't mean the airline has to. You were lucky. No symapthy here, sorry.
posted by wiinga at 5:15 PM on August 23, 2001
That link from dhartung about the choking death on Southwest was disturbing to say the least; as that writer suggested, media reports- the ones most of us initially heard- cleaned up their stories and omitted details to maintain the pleasant version of "courageous passengers restrain violent passenger that threatened their lives, but unfortunately the passenger accidentally died". It reminds me of the typical police killing, such as the Aaron Roberts (here in Seattle) slaying, which are puffed up in the media to wash police hands of any culpability in the public's minds.
Ranting aside- for now- regarding this issue, it sounds like the facts are clear about one thing: this passenger was never posing a physical threat, but at worst verbal abuse- and limited non-profane verbal attacks at that, by both accounts. Hardly reason to land a plane prematurely, or even call the FBI to meet them at the original intended destination. If anyone should be arrested, it should be the flight attendant(s) that seemed to have yelled "fire" in a crowded theater here. But of course, this is based on one article's reporting of the facts, so who knows what else occured?
The larger issue is that everyone's getting pushed and pinched by air travel, which has all the exclusivity of bus travel at this point. Airline execs don't seem care about what's happening, which means the employees and the passengers are left to fight like stray dogs in an overcrowded kennel. The employees get burnt out and frustrated with constant apologies for overbooking, flight delays, crappy food, cramped seats, and dealing with rude passengers. Those passengers become rude because they have to deal with stress and hassles and surly treatment.
While air travel is cheaper than it used to be, and very common, we're still talking about shelling out a few hundred dollars for a plane seat on most flights; in my mind that ought to still offer a certain level of respect and classy treatment from the airlines. I believe that treating the passengers like VIPs will in turn make them behave the way they see VIPs behaving; notice how if you go out with the family to a really nice restaurant, everyone knows to be on their best behavior.
posted by hincandenza at 5:24 PM on August 23, 2001
Read what I wrote. The ticket was for the flight I was trying to board. TWA just happened to notice the restriction when I was already in Paris after issuing the ticket and without warning me.

A British Airways 747 flight suffered a near disaster experience on a London to Nairobi flight.
A Kenyan national passenger walked from the main deck economy cabin, through the upper deck Club Class cabin before entering the cockpit of the aircraft as it flew over Sudan at about 35,000 feet.
The passenger accosted the First Officer, and during the struggle to restrain the passenger the autopilot was disengaged. The plane began a nosedive towards the ground, and many passengers onboard the aircraft believed that they were going to die.
Assisted by two passengers, the Kenyan passenger was restrained as the Captain and First Officer regained control of the aircraft. The flight landed safely in Nairobi where the Kenyan passenger was arrested.
With stories like the one above, is it any wonder that pilots are a little jittery when it comes to air rage, even if there's a hint of potential that it might erupt?
kindall nailed it: refrain from being an asshole for the duration of the flight and you'll be treated fine... and, oh yeah, nobody will die!
Why do people defend arrogant bastards who think that the purchase price of their ticket somehow entitles them to treat everyone like shit? So what if the plane wasn't in any danger from this old man (in the original story), I'm sure everyone's flight was a damn sight better after he was booted off.
posted by lairdj at 7:18 PM on August 23, 2001
Air-rage laws can only work if there is a balance, i.e. while passengers must be responsible for their behavior, airline staff should be well-trained enough to avoid causing such situations as well. This doesn't seem to be the case, however. Air-rage laws aren't striking at the root of the problem: bad service. Oh, sure, violent and dangerous passengers should be dealt with severely, as always, but if airlines start dumping people for being rude, many of them will probably end up spending most of their profits on the extra costs of extra landings, money which could be better spent upgrading their service and thereby avoiding many, of not most instances of air rage.

I recently flew back to the U.K from Australia via Japan. It is a nightmare journey and by way of dealing with it was to get pissed and sleep, wake, get pissed, sleep, wake and so on. I was not rude once, but kept on getting refused drink, because they decided that I had had enough.
Now I understand their concerns, BUT, they way I was dealt with was actually more likely to cause trouble than prevent it. They were rude, spoke down to me, and generally acted like jumped up little Hitlers, when I know from experience than 73.2% of them are brainless slags.
Just an observation.....

Why do people defend arrogant bastards who think that the fact that they are in a position of authority entitles them to treat everyone like shit? So what if the guy complained about the shitty service he was recieving? And personally, I'd be fucking pissed if I was on a late night flight home and we had made an extra stop because some flight attendant wouldn't get an old man a sprite with no ice.

I think the world would run a whole lot smoother almost instantly if everyone over the age of 15 suddenly realized that they are the only ones responsible for their level of happiness. I've never had a bad flight or bus ride in my life for two simple reasons :
a) I pack a book and power bar, and
b) I ignore the fuck out of everything else.

Instead of just landing the plane, why did nobody warn this man? Surely a simple "shut up or we'll boot you off" would have done the trick in this case?
And while I think about it, is there a single case where "zero tolerance" has worked? It failed in drugs, crime, US schools...

To all those poor sad people who think they should get their own way on aircraft, guess what flight staff have every right to act as though they have authority over you in the air, because they do. They always have, since the first plane first carried a passenger.
Get off your high horses and realize you are in a metal tube at 30,000 feet. Just because you paid to be there doesn't mean you can demand and whine and whinge. You don't like the rules, fine, get out and walk.
Funny thing is I have never ever had trouble with flight staff, but I have run into all those and probably a few more mentioned by Dong Resin. Oh and of course the drunks who think playing football and groping the flight attendants is great fun for everyone and those who want to whine about the service, the food, the flight, the plane, the airline and the weather.

There's an self-styled Air Rage expert who's quoted in the recent article about the FAA's air rage brochure being distributed in major airports beginning this month. He teaches something called "Compassionate Crowd Control" (marked by goofy community-building exercises like asking the assembled waiting room who hasn't had a decent meal in 24 hours, or giving each flight a name instead of a number -- though apparently also focuses on situational management techniques).
And after reading that page, I had a little web rage. Jakob Nielsen would plotz.
Back in 1997 there was an international conference on air rage, which reached some fairly obvious conclusions.

"drunks who think playing football and groping the flight attendants is great fun for everyone" are a far cry from a man who got irritated that the guy next to him was served after he'd been told at least twice he had to wait. seriously, people, you'd've been irked too.
and word to what rory said: I'm ordinarily the last person to be sympathetic to folks who're showing their ass in public---my usual strategy is to stare daggers at them and hopefully make them realize that whatever their issues are, it's no need to make everyone in the vicinity miserable too---but it sounds to me like the flight crew were the ones showing their ass here. Landing the plane because some old man had a bad attitude, thereby making *everyone else* late and cranky? Yeah, that's justified and fully appropriate to the guy's actions.... not.

[From the article]: But the truth is, the numbers don't support the view that air rage is on the rise. Reports of air rage incidents have remained largely stable in recent years.

The problem is how attached people are to the illusion of perfection. If people believe that everything should be perfect and anything that goes wrong is a direct attack on them then small problems rapidly get out of hand. However, if people understand that not everything goes according to plan, people just try to do their best and a few good backup plans are in place then even large problems can be dealt with quickly and with a minimum of pain. "Zero Tolerance" falls into the former category.

Tod Slaughter Blogathon
This week something special is happening. Yes I know its Christmas week, and I am very much looking forward to the howliday – but that isn’t what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the Tod Slaughter Blogathon that is going on all week long, spearheaded by Joe Monster over at the From Beyond Depraved blog!
All week long bloggers all across the cybersphere will be writing about Tod Slaughter. What’s that? You’ve no idea who Tod Slaughter is? Well that’s okay, you’re in the majority. Nowadays not many people remember Tod Slaughter – but back in the 30’s and 40’s in jolly old England Tod Slaughter was a well known horror movie actor. He did some stage work before finding his true calling in cinema, and one of his earliest and perhaps best known roles is that of Sweeney Todd in SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.
This movie was made in 1936, 71 years before Johnny Depp and Tim Burton would put out that musical monstrosity based on the same character. Sweeney Todd is the tale of a barber by the same name who gave his customers a shave that was a little too close for comfort - he would murder them for their money, or “polish them off,” as he was apt to put it. He disposed of the bodies with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, who would bake their bodies into meat pies and sell them to the unsuspecting public in her pie shop! The businesses of these partners in crime and cannibalism were attached by means of a shared basement, again unknown to the public.
This movie is actually based an old English folk tale that dates back to the early 1800s. There is some debate whether it is a true story or folklore – I like to believe it is indeed based on fact. In the Tod Slaughter movie, he invites wealthy clients into his barber shop for a shave and a haircut. Oftentimes he singles out weary sailors just returning from months long voyages at sea, their pockets brimming with their newly gained pay. He would seat them in the barber’s chair, lather them up for a close shave before “polishing them off.” What happened next was Sweeney would throw a hidden lever and the chair, which was actually located on a trap door, would flip over, dumping the unsuspecting victim into the basement. There the victim would crack his skull on the concrete below, and Todd would follow them down with a straight razor and slit their throats for good measure.
Them Mrs. Lovett would take over, baking their remains into meat pies and burning the bodies in a large oven to dispose of the evidence. In the film version the cannibalistic overtures are severely toned down and merely hinted at: after all, this was 1936, and this is some pretty gruesome subject matter we're talking about. Sweeney Todd is a sneaky cuss though, and he cheats his business partner at every opportunity, hoarding away jewels and cash before she knows about it.
Todd Slaughter plays the role with gusto, bringing a real maniacal zeal to the part of Sweeney Todd. His diabolical laugh, charming smile, and over the top delivery make for a rollicking good time. It is easy to see why Slaughter became popular. He would go on to make a number of successful horror movies including The Crimes of Stephen Hawke, The Face at the Window, and Crimes at the Dark House. But it is his portrayal of Sweeney Todd that he is best remembered for - definitely one worth seeing. Here's to Tod Slaughter, the grand old maniac of British cinema!
And for a final treat - here's the entire movie, SWEENEY TODD THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET - Scary Christmas!!

acclimate and acclimati{s/z}e: another extra syllable
So I gave my induction lecture today, in which I said to the students that something or other about university-level study can be difficult to acclimate to. Afterwards, my colleague the Syntactician queried my use of the verb acclimate (stress on the first syllable), since she'd say acclimatise in the same situation. And so would most BrE speakers. Either is acceptable in AmE, but to me, acclimati{s/z}e sounds better with physical rather than figurative climates. A quick look at Google suggests that there's something to that intuition. Counting the first 20 (I did say it was quick!) different hits for acclimate-to and acclimatize-to, I found:
acclimate to6122
acclimatize to 1811
(The items counted as 'other' were dictionary definitions or indices.)
Interestingly, most of the acclimatizes were about adjusting to high altitudes, and many of the acclimates were about adjusting to life at an American university. No wonder it leapt into mind today, as I was almost in the word's natural environment. (But haven't acclimated to saying acclimatised.)
Acclimate was originally used in Britain, but, like many other things we've discussed, it faded out of use here while hanging around in the US. The OED records acclimate as slightly older (1792 vs. 1836).
In discussing orientate and pressuri{s/z}e, I wondered whether we could find any verbs that usually contain more syllables in AmE than in BrE. Haven't heard of any yet, but here's another example of BrE being a bit more long-winded in its verbage.
1. University educated in two different Canadian provinces and I don't think I've ever heard the word acclimate.
I guess my knowledge of American English is limited to the vocabulary of Bart Simpson.
2. I've just learnt a new word: I've never heard acclimate before.
3. ...and to think I used this word to a bunch of British 19-year-olds yesterday. Probably gave them a good scare!
4. > I wondered whether we could find any verbs that usually contain more syllables in AmE than in BrE.
How about 'burglarize'?
5. Good one!
Both burgle and burglarize are heard in the US, though burglarize is more common. Oxford lists burglarize as "North American".
6. Same syllables, but one more letter in AmE "envisioning" v BrE "envisaging" - sorry, desparate I know.
re AmE "orient" v BrE "orientate", even as a verb the US version has a feeling of being specific to the East to my Anglo ears, which is why I much prefer the non-directionally specific BrE version. (This may have a shadow of the Asian discussion in there too.)
7. This isn't a verb, but today I heard again the word "electric" used instead of "electricity" as in, the soldiers had no electric.
I don't think I've ever heard that in the states!
8. Well, if we get away from verbs, we'll have a deluge...
9. There's a pretty funny use of the word "acclimatise" (or "acclimatize" as we would spell it in the US) in the movie White Cargo starring Clark Gable and Heddy Lamarr. Gable is repeatedly irritated by the British use of the word. We tend to use "acclimate".
Compare, however, "legitimize" versus "legitimate" as verbs. I think Shakespeare used the latter, but the two are used equally in the US.
10. Really? I don't know legitimate as a verb at all...
11. Well, it grates on my ears but indeed it goes back to the 16th century. Perhaps I shouldn't have said "used equally" but I've heard it used in august circles, that is, when I was in the dowdy circle next door.
12. Concerning 'legitimate' versus 'legitimise', I have to prefer the former. I think I prefer this form of all those verbs that have a derived adjective differing only in stress. Stress-final is the verb, antepenultimate-stress is the adjective. There are plenty of examples: 'emasculate', 'effeminate', 'postulate'. Even 'ultimate' has a stress-final form for a verb, 'to carry to an end'. A latinate (is that another example?) nominal still exists in 'ultimatum'.
13. Back to burglary--I just noticed a word in the American Heritage Dictionary that I didn't know before: burglarious. It's not US-only, it's just a word no one uses much anymore, but I thought it sounds like something that could be used to advertise a bad situation comedy about people who break into houses.
14. Where I live (Southern California), I hear orientate and conversate almost as often as orient and converse.
15. Fascinating blog. I'm a Brit living in Switzerland surrounded by American ex. pats so you can imagine the fun we have...
To the point. One verb that comes to mind that has more syllables in AmE compared with BrE is obligated / obliged. As a Brit, I would always say that I am obliged to do something. Without fail, my colleagues say that they are obligated. They are all from Minnesota though, so perhaps that doesn't count?
16. Legitimate is a verb in Scots law meaning to make a child legitimate. In English law, you are either legitimate or not from birth on, but the Scots received the Roman law on this point (whereas the English Parliament specifically refused to do us, saying nolumus leges Angliae mutari, a saying later recycled by Charles I), and children can be legitimated by the subsequent marriage of their parents.
What all this boils down to is that -ate is semantically empty in English, and words have it or not depending on whether they were borrowed from Latin as finite verbs or as participles.
17. Okay, first of all, burglarious?? That word is AMAZING, I'm going to start (mis?)using it whenever I tell the story of the dude who tried to hold me up on my front doorstep on Mother's Day morning with an empty whiskey bottle in his hoodie pocket. BURGLARIOUS!
Second, I think burgle is a pretty funny word. Here in the states, it's usually only used in a humorous context.
As for obliged vs. obligated, obliged is less common, but when it is used, I think it's used with the context of something one ought to do, whereas obligated is used to describe something one must do (and usually there is an additional context of that something being unpleasant or bothersome).
In general, in the US, using "the Orient" to refer to Asia is not very politically correct. As for the verbal usage, one doesn't often hear "orient" by itself anymore ("to orient oneself" is being replaced by "getting/finding one's bearings"), but "disoriented" is very common. That being the case, I MUCH prefer "oriented" to "orientated".
18. in biology, acclimate refers to an individual adjusting to a new environment, while acclimatize is reserved for a species adapting over several generations.
19. That comment on the word "Orient" reminds me of a British participant at a conference in Singapore who referred to business practices in "the Far East". The Singaporean moderator asked if he meant to say South East Asia, because to Singaporeans the "Far East" would have to refer to America.
20. Personally, I have never heard acclimatize used. In fact, I didn't even know the word existed until I read this blog. Also, I detest the words "orientate" and "conversate." I hear them used often, but almost always by less educated people. Though "orientate" does come up as correct in my spell checker. Both just sound wrong to me.
(AmE - Arizona specifically)
21. Sorry for butting in like this as an anon, I promise I'll sign up when I have more time...
Re: obliged vs obligated. Obliged is an elegant and somehow unobtrusive word whereas obligated is
a) unnecessary (obliged can be used freely in any context)
b)clumsy and ugly.
Ergo, why use a clumsy and ugly word when an elegant alternative is so easily available?
Maybe this debate deserves a thread of it's own...
Best wishes,
22. The worst is "ought" - that doesn't deserve to be a word. What is wrong with saying "should"??/
23. oh puhlease---
I for one have never been exposed to such linguistic atrocities as "innit", "brolly" or any other horrid butchering of the queen's English by her subjects until moving to the UK. The worst part is that they come up on signs, there was a signs at a shop selling brolly's whereas in the states you wont really find someone overtly advertising do's instead of haircuts.
Just my 2p
24. this may be a dated post but i still feel i should comment. as an exercise physiologist acclimation and acclimatization are two different words. acclimate is used to describe a person's immediate responses to a new environment, such as hyperventilating at a high altitude (yes this is an attempt to get more oxygen). while acclimatization describes the longer-term responses you acquire, such as having an increased RBC count after 2 months in high altitude (to better transport more oxygen)
25. One dated post deserves another. Great comment string. I have NEVER heard conversate. Wild. Recent exchange on twitter along this line. Someone was defending preventive over preventative. I use them both, however. A preventative would be a potion or medicine used as a preventive measure to ward off disease. I don't know if there is a BrE/AmE divide on this one.
26. Oh but oughtn't is delicious...
27. Personally I use obligated (admittedly not very often) as a participle of obligate in the sense that OED expresses as
a. To make (a person) indebted; to confer a favour on, gratify. Usu. in pass. Now chiefly U.S.
More often I would say under an obligation but I could say I feel obligated.
By contrast, obliged in my speech usually means 'grateful'. As in
Some of you mens/womens sure do make me tired
Got a handful of gimme's and a mouthful of much obliged
With following TO-clause, I can say obliged to do it, but never obligated to do it.
PS Ought is handy because it expresses a narrower obligation than should.
You should go may express a timeless obligation.
You ought to go (for me) strongly suggests an obligation at a particular time
(Of course should can also be used for the latter.)
28. BrE (Scot, 60+) The whole syllable-adding thing fascinates me. On the orient/orientate post, a tongue-in-cheek commenter suggested “orientificate”. This excessive syllable adding was a trait attributed to George W Bush by British comedians and satirists. For that reason and no other, I assumed that “orientate” was an Americanism. Ouch! Slap my wrist! I have been told that orientate actually means “ render in an oriental fashion, especially with respect to the decorative arts.”. I haven’t been able to confirm this.
I once had a (youngish) project manager who talked about administrating her project. I initially thought “you mean administer”, but the thought about administering medicine/drugs. Basically, if it doesn’t sound right, find another word.
Why do we talk about classic cars, but classical music? How lng before someone uses iconical?
The book!

Depressions in B- and T-lymphocyte mitogen-induced blastogenesis in mice exposed to low concentrations of benzene.
In a short-term (6 h/day X 6 days) benzene inhalation dose-response study, mitogen-induced blastogenesis of both B- and T-lymphocytes in male, C57Bl mice was observed to be significantly depressed at relatively low levels of benzene. Exposure to 10 ppm benzene resulted in a significant depression in femoral lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced B-colony-forming ability, while total numbers of B-lymphocytes at this concentration were not significantly depressed. Similarly, splenic phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced blastogenesis was significantly depressed at 31 ppm, without a concomitant significant depression in numbers of T-lymphocytes. These data indicate that concentrations of benzene at or near the current standard for occupational exposure (10 ppm) can affect certain immune-associated processes. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '962e921608fab7546272525d5d971f48d702ce1157379721269e8ea513aec769'} |

Top Moments from RW Portland Episode 2
As the season continues, we are learning more about the cast. Let’s see how things have changed in episode 2.
5. Jessica’s Poetic Justice
Jessica receives an e-mail from an old lover of hers that she had broken up with. He is currently in the military, but in his free time he wrote her an e-mail saying that he constantly thought of her and still loved her. Jessica cried…and cried… and wrote a poem to share her feelings.
4. Jordan’s woMAN
A group of “goons” summoned the roomies to go partying with them. Only Jordan and Marlon decided to go out, and they ended up at a gay bar. While Marlon chatted with the girls, Jordan got free drinks from a drag queen. It’s cool though. Jordan is used to going to gay bars in Oklahoma. Perhaps because he receives a lot of free drinks, or perhaps because he received a lot of attention from men.
3. Jordan/Jessica Showdown
During the second episode, Jessica and Jordan decided to fight over many things. Whether or not Jordan was abused as a child, what is considered “middle class”, and the dangers of smoking hookah. They never successfully reached conclusions, but they successfully made themselves look like assholes.
2. Johnny Talks to Avery’s Butt
Avery is impressed with Johnny for not trying to have sex with her. She rewards him by having sex with him.
1. Marlon’s Backdoor Secret
During a casual conversation about anal sex, Marlon reveals that he has participated in the act. The shocker: it was with a man. He insists that he is not gay, but he was embraced by the gay community in Austin during a low period in his life. I’m not sure how this translates into gay sex, but Marlon seemed very open with his experience and the girls in the house were ready to ask him millions of questions about his male-on-male experience.

Ruth Kipling, aka "The Judge", was the founder of the Amnesty Collective and a vigilante.
Ruth Suzanne Kipling was the founder of the Amnesty Collective, a death penalty abolishment movement. After her father was wrongfully convicted, she began to imprison or execute court and police officials who had wrongfully convicted others. Known as "The Judge", she, aided by a group of accomplices, ran a secret prison yard network where she reviewed prisoner's appeals, using the Collective as a cover to keep tabs on their lives behind bars. She would always let the officials she imprisoned suffer the exact same punishments they had sentenced someone to, be it the number of years served in prison or an execution. Even Raymond Reddington believed her to be a myth.
"The Judge"Edit
After Max Hastings, a federal prosecutor who has been missing for 12 years, suddenly turns up traumatized and mentally broken, Red believes this to be the work of the Judge, a person who adjudicates on convicted prisoners' appeals for justice against the officials who wrongfully convicted them and, if she agrees with their appeal, gives those prosecutors and judges the same punishment they gave the prisoners.
Kipling has contact with Rifkin, the latest prisoner to contact her, by working as his spiritual advisor upon the closing in of his death sentence. After Rifkin dies, she kidnaps Connolly and Harold Cooper, who had beaten Rifkin's confession out of him. As she is about to execute Cooper with a makeshift electric chair, Raymond Reddington enters her prison, bringing new information on Rifkin's case. He gives her a Pentagon file proving that Rifkin was indeed guilty of slaughtering a village with the Taliban (the helicopters were recovering a spy; Rifkin and the Taliban slaughtered the village in frustration), and convinces Kipling to surrender to the FBI outside.

Nixtamalization, the Process That Makes Corn Good for You
When corn becomes a staple food—like corn tortillas in Mexican cuisine—it must undergo a process called nixtamalization to make the nutrients available for digestion. e_bone says it's a method developed in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. But when corn was introduced to Europe, they didn't use nixtamalization, and vitamin deficiencies spread.
The process consists of boiling and steeping corn in an alkaline bath, often made with slaked lime (cal) or ashes, says lapositivista. Niacin in the corn then becomes available for human bodies, and the grains absorb nutrients from the cal itself. "Eventually, the outer coating of the corn becomes gelatinous, the cal/water mixture is drained and the corn is rinsed, removing the outer coating," lapositivista says. The corn can then be used whole in pozole or ground for other uses.
Does that mean that fresh corn on the cob, which obviously hasn't undergone nixtamalization, isn't nutritious? Not quite, jumpingmonk says. Corn on the cob is a once-in-a-while food that's eaten as a vegetable side dish, rather than as a staple food. The fiber and nutrients in fresh corn are still valuable, as long as you're getting niacin and other nutrients from different foods.

Pangoro @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Jolly
-Sky Uppercut/ Brick Break
-Stone Edge/ Poison Jab
Why doesn't it get Guts? Then it could be like Conkeldurr. But no. Instead it's more like Emboar; nearly the same attack, slightly lower HP & speed but slightly better defences. So one solution is to slap a scarf on it which most people might not expect, and go for broke.
Earthquake & Mold Breaker go hand in hand; no Rotom form (EDIT: except Rotom-S [credit trachy]) will be safe. Crunch STAB, what else can I say. Sky Uppercut for slightly more power, or Brick Break for accuracy and the bonus of getting rid of screens; shame that Hammer Arm is its most powerful Fighting STAB because of the speed reduction. Stone Edge or Poison Jab for either the Flying coverage or Fairy coverage. Fairy coverage might be more pressing because of the double weakness.
If Pangoro gets Drain Punch via breeding, it could run a bulky set more successfully. Conkeldurr outclasses it as a bulky Fighting type because of Mach Punch and Drain Punch though.

Hey, I see Pangoro and I just think Emboar. Similar stats, similar build, might as well slap a scarf of the thing so (like you say with Rampardos) it has a chance of out speeding something.
I'm pretty sure Rotom-S will be safe. :P
Rotom-S. The bane of my (short lived NU) life.
What on Earth is Rotom-S?
Oh. Rotom Standard, right?

Pangoro @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker/Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Storm Throw
- Crunch
- Poison Jab
- Taunt/Parting Shot
Storm Throw is just a beast move, basically a base 120 power STAB attack that ignores stat boosts. Crunch is also STAB, used over Payback to do more damage to slower stuff such as Slowking. Poison Jab is to get a Super Effective hit off on Fairies, which are able to resist Fighting/Dark. Taunt is to prevent slower Pokemon from getting off a status move, such as Toxic or Will-o-wisp. Parting Shot can be used though to make Pangoro a great pivot though, as not only is it slow enough to allow you to bring in something safely, you make the switch-in even safer by reducing the offenses of the foe.
EVs provide bulk and power. There is nothing really outside of other Pangoro that I feel the need to add Speed EVs for. You can move the 4 Speed EVs to Defense if you want, I just do it for the speed creep. Leftovers is used to help out with the bulky aspect of it.
Both Mold Breaker and Scrappy have very limited uses. I think Mold Breaker does have more use. It can:
-Lower the defenses of a Mandibuzz who switches in on Crunch, making it easier to KO with Storm Throw. Same applies with Metang, Klinklang, and maybe even Carbink if it runs Clear Body.
-Taunt a Natu and make it so you can guarantee the Taunt on a Wonder Skin Venomoth (who I expect to see at least tested again in RU).
-Crit a Drapion with Battle Armor, meaning Storm Throw actually works on it.
-Break through Sturdy.
Scrappy has its use in allowing Storm Throw to just break Spiritomb though, while also making it so that the foe has more difficulty with switching in Ghost types in order to pivot.

crits are 1.5 boost now... just sayin
Mold Breaker defo works better with this, as all Scrappy does is deal with ghosts, all except Spiritomb and Sableye are weak to crunch.

Trick Room Sweeper
Pangoro @ Choice Band:
Trait: Mold Breaker
EV: 252 ATK / 252 HP / 4 Sp.Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Speed
• Hammer Arm
• Crunch
• Frustration
• Earthquake
Scrafty > Pangoro. As simple as that.
Hammer Arm is STAB and profits of the speed loss to make Pangoro more dangerous in Trick Room. Its 150 STABbed power is great to use, but it is a bit inaccurate, at 90 accuracy, the same as Hydro Pump.
Crunch is STAB. Nuff' said. It has 120 Power / 100 Accuracy, and reduces the defense stat.
Frustration um is because I like it more on Pokémon like Pangoro than Return, it looks more freaking. It has a nice indeed 102 base if Pangoro hates you.
Earthquake will kic.... everything on its way with Mold Breaker so ... Fu.. y.. Magnezone.
Get it to hate you would take dedication. Just use Return.
It is much easier to get it hate you; just let it die in every battle. And it will start to hate you. But alternatively, you can use Return.
it is soooo much easier to make it like you...
Poison Jab > Possibly Body Slam > Return > Frustration
Certainly not body slam, unless you are trying to abuse paralyze chance.

Bulky Bulk Up
Pangoro @ Leftovers:
Trait: Mold Breaker
EV: 252 HP / 252 Sp.Def / 4 Atk
Careful Nature
• Bulk Up
• Crunch
• Hammer Arm
• Stone Edge / Earthquake
I like this set better than the first. As boss trachy and the guidelines said, I will separe every of my movesets, and today, I'm full of movesets idea.
Bulk Up is the main part of the strategy. I maximized the Sp.Def so that Bulk Up cares about the Atk and the Def, and HP was also maxed to transform Pangoro into a monster. But believe me, Scrafty > Pangoro.
Crunch ... must I say why ?
Hammer Arm is STAB. Full power, at the loss of Speed. Go. Pangoro is slow.
Stone Edge is relatively coverage against Flying, but I like Earthquake better to fu.. well everything with Mold Breaker.
edited by
OK, I hid the 2 last answers, they were not adding anything. You can try a SubBulkUp set, but only if that thing gets Drain Punch. It is OK, but outclassed. Simple as that.
I say Pangoro > Scrafty, just cuz Pangoro's a panda.
Lolwut ?
You said Scrafty > Pangoro in your previous answer (not sure why I commented on this one), but I say Pangoro's better cuz pandas are awesome.

Not sure how I came up with the idea, but how about a Phazing Bulky Pangoro?
Pangoro @ Leftovers
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 HP, 4 Def
Nature: Impish (Def+, Sp. Atk -)
- Circle Throw
- Parting Shot
- Storm Throw
- Payback
Circle Throw is the attack to phaze with
Parting Shot if you fear for his life
Storm Throw for damage (Love the always crit)
Payback to get rid of those things that are slower then him
I chose Scrappy over this so you can get rid of Ghost types aswell, otherwise, it would be Mold Breaker

Use mold breaker, and kill ghosts with payback. Or even better, use crunch.

Pangoro @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Naive
• Hammer Arm
• Aerial Ace
• Poison Jab
• Rock Slide
This Pokemon is a bit hard to do because of its lack of STAB but it had to be done if you don't want to be obliterated by your enemies. Mold Breaker, comes to good use for steel types, while the choice scarf and the naive nature, increase your speed, something Pangoro doesn't have.
The Naive nature, also reduces the defense of Pangoro. He doesn't have much of this but you would want to keep his amazing attack and the ok hp.
Hammer Arm is great with your scarf and nature because it reduces speed, while they increase it. It is also a STAB with really high power.
Aerial Ace is to protect you from fighting type.
Poison Jab is to protect you from fairy.
Rock Slide causes flinching and protects you from flying type.
Why Not Jolly? And Crunh or Earthquake > Aerial Ace
Jolly can work as well but crunch and earthquake is a NO because you already have a strong STAB and it is best (my opinion) to have moves that can defeat the ones who are strong against you.
I would use crunch>Aerial Ace as he seems just like a coverage tool.

Pangoro @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVS: 252 Atk, 252 Hp, 4 Def
Nature: Brave
-Power-up Punch
-Sleep Talk
Easy to use but slightly hard to master the timing. Power up punch to boost atk + STAB, Payback for STAB to make up for low speed, Rest to heal in a pinch and since he's naturally bulky, not easy to take down, And finally Sleep talk to keep going after he gets to the second rest. Only drawback would be using rest while already sleepy. Made with fighting all around, only thing not prepared for would be for Fairy and Poison/Dark (Drapion), Power-up Punch boost it to take down Tanks fast. and Payback to Hit those Sweepers. Have Fun.

This set is for a sweeping/tanky Pangoro
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant/Careful
Ability: Iron Fist
Bullet Punch
Swords dance
Fire punch/Parting shot
Sky uppercut
252 HP 252 ATK 6 SPD DEF
Bullet Punch: For some priority
Swords Dance: Since you're tanky you can get a few of these and then spam Bullet punch
Fire punch: Die lucarios
Or Parting shot: To quickly leave before fainting
Sky uppercut: To get fly spammers
In a battle if you are against a Pokemon that can kill you use Parting shot (Has Priority too :D). Well if you are against a Pokemon you can kill use Swords dance, they'll probably switch, so free Swords dance. Then you can either gamble living a hit or use bullet punch. You'll probably get a sweep. Hope you enjoyed this set.

Parting Shot
Bulk Up
This is a late game set. Once you've switched in from a presumably injured tank, bulk up, use whatever move is most useful and when you are done, use Z-Parting shot. This will fully heal whatever Pokémon you switch in! And also lower the enemies attack and sp.attack! Idk if this is good but I hope so!
Isn't Parting Shot a Dark type move?

Eating In France: Dying Inside
"Restaurants are very expensive. There is a range, of course, but it starts high. Way higher than neighborhood places in Manhattan, for instance. And few places are truly child friendly. The French do not much like children.
Restaurant meals are available at very limited hours. You want lunch — it had better be between 12 and 2. Miss that and you can have a snack — but only if you are in a place big enough to have a range of restaurant types. Dinner starts at 7, no matter that you missed lunch and want a burger or a salad at 5, not ice cream or a beer. And meals take forever. I like the leisurely lunch as much as any journalist, of course. But not with my kids, every day — which leaves us with grilled-cheese sandwiches, hold the ham. Oh, you can’t hold the ham? Thanks.
Finally, there is a lot of bad food in France — especially around tourist sites, including the great museums. I will not say what I paid for two sandwiches and two salads — all premade so unwanted ingredients could not be removed in advance — and a few soft drinks at the Louvre, after braving the crowds to see the Mona Lisa (which attracts tour buses full of people eager to take group pictures of themselves in front of the picture). There is much excellent food, of course. But who wants really excellent food every day? Sometimes you just want to get everyone fed and get on with your activities.
Fast food exists because a mediocre, entirely predictable burger from McDonald’s is no worse than what you would get a certain percentage of the time at individual places that might not be as clean and certainly won’t be as quick. There is an obvious open niche for a service-oriented place that downplays the drama and provides reasonably healthy food in a clean setting.
And as for the health claim — I don’t personally buy it. But I am currently in a region where every farmers’ market, farm stand, and café sells foie gras, duck confit, and excellent high-fat cheeses, and what passes for a vegetable in restaurants is potatoes sautéed in duck fat. A few carrot sticks and an apple and Mickey D wins that one — so no surprise that it’s doing well."
-- Lisa Schiffren, on some of the many hidden truths about eating in France - others are an extremely limited menu, hearing the repeated phrase "We do not have" when ordering from that menu (France is a socialist country, so prepare to do without many advertised items) and - unlike anywhere in the FDA-protected United States - the daily danger of food poisoning, which you won't hear about anywhere but here, and in The National Review.
And when I say "food poisoning", I'm talking about a real whammy kiss of sickness, that would cause me to black out as I was eating and, when I awoke, swear off trying any of their "delicacies" ("It's the best!") ever again. When I was living there, I was always at McDonald's or Quick (the American jeans-clad Belgian Burger King that operates in France) or stealing away to a Muslim joint for a tasty kabob - a risk for any American.
But I found I'd do almost anything - anything - but take the chance of another debilitating night of the vomits or the shits - experiencing the depressing reality of, once again, suffering terrible stomach cramps - while inhaling the full-strength odor of my own insides because I was usually stuck, using an ancient toilet with no water in it. (France hasn't figured out standardized plumbing either. I swear, after the war started and American liberals started screaming, "France does not agree!", I was living there thinking, "So what? If these goofballs don't agree, it's probably the right thing to do." That started my very-serious re-evaluation of Bush, his policies, and just about everything else: Conservatism, here I come,...)
It was a fucking daily torture.
Another issue is this idea of "freshness" in France.
I can't tell you how often I sat in wonder as my French ex-wife (dumbshit that she is) would go to one restaurant after another ordering the fish - trying to make a point about French fish being better and fresher than American - but regularly discovering she almost broke a tooth because it invariably had sand still in it. (I almost always ordered a steak, which would drive her and the other frogs crazy, since they took it - and almost anything else I did, not to their specifications, to protect myself - as an insult, being the insecure bunch that the French are.)
And about that limited menu: You can go to a party in France and they'll always have a spread for the guests. Go to another party - it's the exact same spread!
And how would you like to find these guys - just like this - on your pizza?
Here's a couple of other culinary tips:
Stay away from Mexican food in France.
They don't understand the first thing about it, and will happily hand you a plate that can best be described as an ugly bean dip disaster.
And, black Americans, don't be surprised if someone slyly offers you "niggerheads" for dessert: They're racist as all get-out in France. They just won't admit it - even to themselves - just ask the Jews.
But, of course, they demand that Americans must have a black president, while France doesn't have a black anything. They don't even like printing the word "black" in newspapers. Hell, I once went to the equivalent of a Home Depot in France and they didn't even have black paint! (They also wouldn't sell me blue paint because I told them I wanted to use it on my kitchen. The reliable reply: "This is not done!")
Fuck France.
1. I can whole heartedly agree with your take on "French" food. The best food we had on spring break in Paris was the hot dogs (best were next to Notre Dame) by far. Dinners out with the kids were an expensive nightmare, even though the kids were well behaved and quiet for a change the wait staff were mostly pricks and wouldn't deserve a tip in the states even though they grant themselves one on the bill. Coming home we shared rows with Metallica road crew who said that under about $100 us per person the best food was the hot dogs found at street vendors. mpw
2. I rarely disagree with you, but I spent two weeks in Paris last year, and I ate like a king for around the same prices I'd pay in the US. I still have fond memories of the food.
(I do share your complaint about the hours though. It was a huge nuisance when I wanted to eat dinner at 6pm.)
3. Howdy,
I cannot speak for Paris...yet, although my husband and I are going there in September...but I can speak for the areas around Bordeaux and Nice...such food...Heaven on earth. (My husband and I are partial to potatoes cooked in duck much so that we do that here in Dallas, TX...get the duck fat shipped in by the 5 pound drum.) Oh dear Lord, the confit, foie gras and other duck items in the countryside are just plain bliss. As are the cheeses, rabbit, chicken, veal...and gorgeous vegetables and fruits. As I said, can't stick up for food in Paris, but certainly can stick up for food in the south of France.
By the way, my husband and I cook all kinds of food...we eat like Kings in this great and bounteous country of ours. But I won't stomp on French can be yummy. Perhaps it's the change of venue...I understand Parisians can be a bit huffy.
4. I've spent weeks in France with teenagers and never had a problem with food. There was a Starbucks on Avenue L'Opera about two blocks from the hotel for breakfast. There are all sorts of little cafes on the left bank with reasonable prices. It's best to study up on French for a few weeks before you go but that's only polite anyway. In Nice, we found great little places and the prices were about what you would pay in a nice restaurant here. In Normandy, we stayed in a B&B with lovely food. We spent all day showing the kids the scenes of the Normandy invasion and ate lunch in cafes. No problem at all.
5. As Samuel Clements (Mark Twain) so rightly observed: "There is no hell. There is only France).
6. Have to agree based on my recent trip to Bordeaux. You can forget about getting a decent steak in France - the "chefs" don't understand the N. American concept of "rare, medium rare, medium, med. well, and well" for the French there's "Bleu" aka raw, then there's "a point" meaning cooked to "the point", and "cuir" or cooked. Everything we ordered came with foie gras (bad foie gras from Italy). I now understand why everyone we saw walked around eating a baguette (aka stale bread). They were filling their stomachs so they didn't feel the need to eat their crappy food.
7. What nonsense. I have no problem piling on against most things French. I lived in Paris for some time and couldn't stand most of it -- from how dirty the city was to all the bullshit that goes along with trying to be "polite."
But the food was consistently great. And if you try, it's also not expensive. Also, before you go saying how awful duck fat is, try reading a book like Nina Plank's "Real Foods." Educate yourself before posting such garbage.
I'm surprised Glenn Reynolds linked to this crap posting.
8. I, too, have spent weeks in France and never experienced anything like that written above. We eat at nice restaurants sometimes, but prefer inexpensive cafe menus. The food is always tasty and filling. There are also lots of excellent pizzarias. And the carry-out shops are fabulous.
My personal favorite is the sidewalk crepe stands. Mmmm. Wish I had one right now!
One last note, though. We do NOT generally eat around the high tourist spots. Maybe that's the difference.
9. I have eaten out a lot all over France. Of course, like every country, it is variable- in quality, speed, politeness etc. But most of my really special food memories are of French meals. The best meal I ever ate was at an Auberge in Bayeaux, Normandy. Most of the people eating at the trestles in that dining room were like me foreigners- and to a man/woman/girl/boy, declared it the best food we'd ever had.
10. I agree about Mexican food in France -- that was a truly weird meal.
I also remember when we were on the way to a meeting and stopped someplace for a sandwich. The staff was offended that we sat down to eat. Apparently one does not eat a sandwich at the restaurant's precious tables. On the other hand, it was the best cheese sandwich I have ever had..
11. Anonymous has it right. The sidewalk crepes are great and not too dear. The trendy Asian eateries are all pricey with "what the hell is THAT" ingredients on your plate (especially the Tibetan ones). Stay away from any Euro-style restaurant chain; it's not French cooking, it's a norovirus factory waiting to happen to unsuspecting tourists. We found a great little Chinese takeout place in Rue Cler and used that a lot. Great selection, tasty, and nice people running the place. Don't ask the hotel staff where to eat; ask a local where they would take their family.
12. I should have mentioned how great the Moroccan food is in Paris. Very few things beat couscous Royale.
13. Having been to Paris twice as a tourist, I will say that the food is decidedly mediocre, although the waitstaff lived up to their reputation for rudeness. However, in 1989, there was a little place called "Suzie's Tex-Mex Cafe" over on the Left Bank run by some Texan expats. They served up the real thing with Mexican beer--Dos Equis, not that Corona swill. Really hit the spot.
14. Sooo true. We were in Paris in early June. Some ex-pats we engaged with regaled us with their food poison tales. The prices were OUTRAGEOUS ($45 for a martini at the Ritz, $7/bottle of Vittell still water, $25 for a ham sandwich), although I read today that the VAT taxes were decreased in Paris restaurants this week and prices are considerably lower. The waiters, while mostly professional, were sometimes having their kitchen fun, but like you, I don't care much, mostly because it is like a caricature of France, politely rude. One waiter brought me a one ounce sealed airplane bottle of ketchup with an exaggerated flourish after dropping my croque madame off. I KNOW that guy was thinking himself very funny. The food is all the same and not all that great. Steaks are bad.
15. Favorite meals in Paris: McDonalds, and doner kebab in the Latin quarter.
Not terribly impressive: Parisian sushi.
I didn't think Paris was as obnoxious as I had feared, and Normandy was a f--king delight..
16. Welcome Althouse and (Oh-My-God) Instapundit readers:
I'm going to do other pieces on France, but I thought I ought to make it clear that I was writing about "living in France" - and I've lived and moved all over it, over the course of 20 years - while Ms. Schiffren was describing her tourist experience AKA Paris. There's a huge difference.
Now that I'm back in the States (permanently) it's always bothered, and confounded, me that - with all of our modern technology and the many different means of communication, the information Americans get about France is still trapped in the war years. Think about it: See a piece, say, on television and what do you get? Kitschy accordion music (which people will only hear in tourist traps) and some BS about the great food, and how much healthier and/or more fashionable they are than us - and that's about it. It's a lie, of course, and (as with my point about the war) it's a lie that can lead Americans to a false impression, even about themselves.
Anyway, thanks for showing up and I hope some of you will stay to look around and check out my posts about the ultimately destructive influence of NewAge "teachings" on the Western World - which make up the bulk of this blog:
Socially, politically - and especially personally - I think this form of "spirituality" is the most corrupting force in the world today.
17. It really depends on where in France you go. My grandmother who's lived in Paris these past twenty years or so says she doesn't bother with Parisian restaurants because the food is always terrible, and she's always complaining that the fruits in the supermarkets are gimmicked and chemicaled and no good. But there certainly are places where the food is excellent (the best way is to get someone's grandmother, who knows what she's doing, to take charge of it ...)
Much like the social issues, actually. There are quite a few French who recognize common sense when they see it and aren't in favor of the liberal/socialist/whoring slut mindset. Problem is that mindset has had such a lock on power for so long it is not possible to openly oppose it.
This, like many other things, will not continue forever.
18. I visited France in 2001 and 2004. The food was divine, all the places we went.
And Paris was aparkling clean. They even washed the streets on Sunday.
On the other hand, Rome was dirty and covered with graffiti.
19. No personal experience. A lady I used to work with had family in southern France/northern Spain, and went over every two or three years to visit.
Her recommendation to me was "Don't go to Paris if you don't have to, and don't eat there if you can avoid it. The staff treat everyone like crap, and if they find out you're American... And the food is horribly expensive. But when you get out into the countryside, people- including the waiters- are far more friendly, and the food much better."
Her repeated experience, passed on for what it's worth.
20. On the other hand, eating with kids in Italy was great: there might not be "kids menus" or coloring book placemats, but from neighborhood trattorias to Michelin-starred restaurants, our six year old was accommodated the food that he loved.
And at one restaurant in Palermo, they ran out of gelato, so the waiter actually took my son's hand and walked with him down the street to the gelateria to buy him ice cream. Yes, we trusted a complete stranger with our son, but it's Italy--you can do that there. You can have France.
21. This is wrong in a lot of ways. The food in France is terrific, and although Parisians deserve their rude reputation, you'll find some friendlier service in the provinces. What I have to agree with is the fact that the French, and Europeans in general, are ridiculously inflexible and conformist. God forbid you commit a food faux pas, such as asking for cheese AFTER your dessert. "The customer is always right" is only true in the US.
22. Just back from 10 months in France, 8 of those months spent in Paris.
Never got sick... I have a hard time believing it is any worse than anywhere else... you have a bad experience by chance and you think it's normal.
Overall I don't think "French" food in France is all that great -- at least if you're living on a bourse and can't afford to go to 2 or 3 star restaurants. The non-ethnic restaurants we went to tended to have small portions of decent (but not spectacular) food for reasonable (considering tip and tax inclus) prices.
Generally much preferred were ethnic places. We had some favorite Japanese joints near Rue St. Anne, a favorite Indian joint, dined at a nice Korean restaurant and enjoyed a variety of 'oriental' (i.e. North African/Middle Eastern) restaurants -- all in Paris. Our very best meal in France was a creperie (an actual restaurant, not a stand) in Caen, which served a dessert crepe with the perfect caramel. Our worst meal was an Indian place -- but it was essentially in the sticks (Pau in the Pyrenees).
Ironically, our best "French" meal was consumed in Prague.
23. "But who wants really excellent food every day? Sometimes you just want to get everyone fed and get on with your activities."
And that, my friends, encapsulates a large part of the difference between the U.S. and Europe. Me, I'd like to organize my activities around really excellent food. And somehow, on well over 50 trips to Europe, most of them on business, I've managed quite well. With even a modicum of planning, you and your family can manage well, too.
24. Just going to throw in the 'dont drink the water' thing. If you were sick that often, maybe you couldn't tolerate the local bacteria. I got sick a few times in Europe even when I helped cook the food / I know it was fine and clean. Well, that could of been some of it anyway.
25. I lived in Italy for around 3 years, and let me just say...
French food is pretty bad if you're on the run. And I completely agree about the Mexican food..although the place I went to was in the Netherlands, it was in Wallonia, so it's close enough. I never did get sick there though, but I have a pretty tough stomach. The Italians do sidewalk/quick food much better than the French. So much better it's not even funny.
The Germans do a dang fine job at the sausage carts as well.
26. I've been to Paris in the Summer and in the Winter. During my summer visit, the place sparked. In winter, Paris is a shithole. Your criticisms of the food and food culture are all correct (their idea of "steak" is a piece of beef you wouldn't find in the shittiest middle school cafeteria in America) but there is still a lot of good food to be had there. Unless you are vegetarian. The winter trip was with my girlfriend (now my wife) who happens to be a Hindu vegetarian. She's never eaten meat in her life. And if it wasn't for the falafel joints and crepe stands, we would have gotten rickets on a diet of bread, wine, and coffee.
27. I have no idea where you were, but I've been to Paris many times and never had anything close to your experience. I always found the service impeccable, the prices reasonable, and the salads/veggies beyond compare (the produce has been so good and so well blended that salad dressing on the salad was unnecessary).
If you want a wonderful meal outside of proper meal times, there are any number of sandwich shops (panini and the like) or savory items in the boulangeries. There are always grocery stores with cheese and fruit.
The brasseries will make a steak for you if you ask nicely, even outside of regular hours, but if you show up in sloppy jeans or shorts or don't try to speak French, forget it.
On the contrary, I've never had a decent meal in New York (and I've lived there) and the prices, even for simple things, are outrageous.
It has been my experience that people who are treated rudely do not even make the attempt to speak French or behave in a civilized manner. The latter is often demonstrated in not wearing proper street attire. Did you not speak French? I've traveled all over the world and France (and Paris) is among the best service and welcoming attitude available. Even my terrible French is appreciated and gets me through.
There are simple rules of etiquette, such as always greeting someone before asking them for something or asking a question (similar to Old South manners). Without that simple courtesy, I've seen French people clam up towards rude Americans, and when I am polite and obey the simple rules, they're as charming as could be.
France is not the U.S. or anywhere else, so expecting things to be like some place else is silly.
- Connie du Toit
28. I lived in Paris for 3 yrs and my parents live near Cannes. You can find bad food and they've no idea how to do pasta al dente, it's simply beyond them, but I ate well and often and you had to feel your way around and yes, it can be very expensive. Tour d'argent was not all that....
I lived in Rome and have relatives up north and still travel there, biggest difference btwn french and italian is the italian stick to 8 ingredients and then whatever is in season or regional for main dish. The food is almost always affordable and good.
The French food is fabulous but they do tend to cover it with heavy sauces, etc, that became just too rich for me at 45, growing up in Seattle with a lighter but healthier diet.
bon appetite
29. I lived for years in Europe and had some of the best (Italian) and worst (also Italian) food imaginable.
I can sympathise with the food poisoning thing. But I got mine from an Italian restaurant in Naples.
In France it was like, "You expect me to EAT that?"
But the British Fish and Chips in Nice were excellent.
I never had any problem with food in Germany. Sometimes it was hard to find a restaurant that wasn't Chinese, Italian or fast food though.
30. Well, I for one enjoyed eating in Paris, with no ill effects. Stayed near the Place de la Bastille for a week, send the daughter down to the patisserie every morning for croissants while i made coffee.
lunch was that 'ham sandwich' which comes in two varieties - 'Croque monsieur' and 'croque madame', but i'm sorry you didn't find someone to make it fresh for you. I ate very well for a week at reasonable prices. also shopped at that market just off the eiffel tower in rue cler. we ate in Le Jules Verne on the eiffel tower. food wasn't special, but the view sure was, and the waiter shamelessly flirted up my daughter :-)
I in fact enjoyed my salade at the Louvre - I suspect what's her name was having a bad day (viz the tourist comments). I had a fantastic multi-course meal just outside of versailles for very little, walked across the square to my cheap hotel room in the ex-versaille stables.
man, i'm sorry she found all that bad stuff - how did i miss it?
31. Brother, sing it. My wife and I lived in Spain for two years and had this same discussion with the same faux-sophisticate Europhile yugdugs who are defending that pigslop. I HEARD about great food but most of it was unworthy of the toilet it was scooped out of. All fried, all mayo, all rancid, all between the hours of 12-2 and 9-11. I spent 3 years in the bungholes of the Middle East and never got as sick as I did in Europe. McDonalds, sadly, was the haven of reliability and hygiene. Thank god for the American business model.
32. We had mixed experiences with food in France, no real complaints about what we ate out in the provinces, some very good, none memorably bad. Paris wasn't exactly a letdown but it wasn't anything special; we hadn't done much study, though, as to where we should eat and where we should avoid.
Germany has been a pleasant surprise, you can find schweinshaxe and weisswurst if you want but we've pigged out on sushi, Chinese, kebab, and all manner of Italian all over the place. Whole grilled mackerel on a stick with a couple liters of beer at the Hirschgarten in Munich. Stay at the Hotel Kriemhild, nice small place in a great area and close enough to find even when you can't walk straight.
The Swiss seem more consistently capable of screwing up pizza than anyone else in Europe, odd given their location, or maybe we just had recurrent bad luck (or bad judgment.)
In China I just eat whatever my friends and relatives order. Spent one nasty evening driving the porcelain bus after some badly-done hot-pot one time, and I don't think I've knowingly eaten dog, but it's been pretty memorable overall.
33. No wonder you're not married anymore...
34. I have visted this site and got lots of information than that of i visited before a month.
work from home
35. Thinking this is a bit harsh.
From a local perspective, thing of US cities known for food. Take NYC. Now, I grew up near NYC and have had many meals there. Some of them have been amazing. But I've also walked into some grab and go lunch places thinking NY pizza and italian is so good compared to elsewhere in the US I couldn't go wrong, and then wished I could have had my stomach pumped afterwards.
Every city has good food and bad food no matter how much of a 'food city' it is. I had some things in Italy that made me delirious with how amazing they were, and some subpar meals.

Modernizing Seersucker
May 24, 2017
Modernizing Seersucker
Seersucker is an American classic, but it carries a lot of baggage. A few years ago, as a joke, Missouri state senator Ryan McKenna added something to the end of an education bill that would ban people from wearing seersucker suits. His ad-hoc, handwritten amendment read:
The amendment was later withdrawn (it was never intended to be serious), but the fact remains, seersucker in today’s age can conjure up old time-y ideas of Southern gentility. Men chomping on fat cigars and cucumber sandwiches, swilling their mint juleps while attending lawn parties. It’s an association that appeals to certain people for the same reason it repels others. If you like that sort of look, shops such as Brooks Brothers, J. Press, Ralph Lauren, O’Connell’s, and Andover Shop can get you sorted with whatever you need.
If you like the texture and cool wearing properties of seersucker, however, and want to modernize it, there are smart ways of wearing the material without looking like you belong on a sprawling Southern estate.
One is to wear a suit in something other than the usual blue-and-white colorway. Something in a tonal blue-on-blue stripe, for example, can look refreshingly modern, while still having that crinkly texture that makes this fabric charming. J. Crew and Camoshita have some tonal seersucker suits this season (the second of which is available at No Man Walks Alone and Mr. Porter). The Armoury also carries an exclusive Ring Jacket model made in a Loro Piana wool-silk blend. Cotton blends here will feel more casual, while wool blends will hold their color better over time. Eidos even has Ghruka pants in a tonal seersucker, which look awesome in that wider cut. Wear it with a loose button-up in a casual white fabric.
Alternatively, you can get a seersucker shirt, which can be a great way to add visual interest to any outfit (particularly in all-white, which is basically like your standard dress shirt, but with more texture). I like the custom options at Michael Spencer and Proper Cloth. Michael Spencer’s shirts fit similar to Brooks Brothers, but they make everything in the US and allow you to customize any detail. Proper Cloth, on the other hand, does online made-to-measure – the best maker I’ve used for this sort of thing, which can admittedly get dicey when you’re self-measuring. Proper Cloth simply gets the fit right better than most, and they allow for free remakes on the first order.
For a more affordable alternative, check J. Crew. Their collars are usually too skimpy to wear with ties, but seersucker shirts look better with open collars anyway.
You can also get a seersucker shirt with more unusual details, which will in turn make it feel more casual. Portuguese Flannel has short-sleeved seersucker popovers; Battenwear makes something with a camp collar. For wear with tailored jackets, I like these band collar designs from Camoshita and Club Monaco.
Additionally, you can break a seersucker suit up into separates. A seersucker sport coat can be worn with khaki chinos, while seersucker trousers go well with navy jackets. There’s still a bit of preppy connotation here, but one that feels less aggressive than a full suit. Swap the white bucks out here for something low key, such as penny loafers.
Yasuto Kamoshita at the top of this post looks great in his a seersucker suit, black Belgian loafers, and Nigerian print tie. Alternatively, you could wear something like this, but with a popover or band collar shirt. Something in French blue shirt here would anchor the ensemble without making you look washed out from all that white (good if you’re not wearing a dark tie).
Lastly, for the truly timid, consider a tie made from the crinkly material. You can find them this season from makers such as Drake’s, Vanda Fine Clothing, and J. Press. Any of those would look good sitting against a navy sport coat, and they’d be a nice way of adding texture to a summer outfit. An easy option for almost anyone, no matter their puckered stripe. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '30', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.923847496509552}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '113398', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:76XQRYWHWZNZWZX2IDGWWYZWFRTCFDZR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:27df5f99-fbf6-4685-8834-388ce9ef8f43>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 18, 5, 12, 25), 'WARC-IP-Address': '165.227.27.114', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:3L36CR6DSDQID4VYUSU2HYE7WUEZ4RSI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:81ad9bf7-5e02-4ec4-b4be-8c6eb15fc43c>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://putthison.com/modernizing-seersucker-seersucker-is-an-american/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b2ea4066-ca3c-4a1b-9f31-f9e801f07242>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '713', 'url': 'https://putthison.com/modernizing-seersucker-seersucker-is-an-american/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-26\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-142-81-83.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03098994493484497', 'original_id': '0edbd63328ad7795784c9af74e80ff00bf03237ebb2365babf2d293af8e52874'} |
Just How To Best Learn Poker

Does a beginner who carefully plays out the clichs of poker amateurs play more vigilantly, learn better, enjoy more, and in the long run lose significantly less than a beginner who has familiarized himself with the existing routines but is not content with them and without prior clues or guidelines attempts to study the mechanics and mysteries of the game by himself, simply by playing, observing, and reading according to his own peculiar, unpolished discretion?
Most of the more capable poker players do observe other less imaginative players. It doesn't imply that you should simply take needless gambles. You can learn many creative possibilities of poker play as well as make your own methods as you go. However , trying new ways of doing things in poker may possibly sometimes go against the commandments of the Poker Beginner's Bible. Even although you fail, you need to pursue your studies to improve your poker playing techniques.
All sorts of things that it is not so much safer to player by rote since it is simpler, and the only reason to stay glued to the clichs is you don't wish to engage yourself creatively with a demanding game.
Poker has been named a sport in several countries. Like chess, it is the kind of sport which can be closer to art than to athletics. The game is regularly shown on major TELEVISION channels and access to poker material on the net is almost limitless. Nevertheless, most so called poker players respond more to poker marketing campaigns than to the game's essence. They keep poker as popular entertainment and profession from becoming an unprofitable esoteric art & most of them have no idea it.
Most beginners to the wonderful world of poker follow the same path as that of a school of fish which are comfortably eaten by sharks if they pass by. These newcomers rarely, if ever, depart from an existing set of rules which lead them to fail. This is the reason why 99% of poker players never accomplish any such thing and just blame their fortune on luck and pure absence of Skills.
Keeping a strict list of dos and don'ts all your life can be a bad thing in poker. It's worth noting that the people who crafted those lists did not consider your own personality, needs and tendencies. Hence, when you try to mimic what others did in the past, you make yourself vulnerable in a game title where you could lose so much money in a blink of an eye. You should learn when to drop out and ensure that your actions do not become mechanical so that you will reap the benefits of the game for yourself.
Many great poker players have one thing in accordance: they are constantly improving themselves. They are always curious about what kinds of plays would make their chances of winning grow. Most of poker-related mass media encourage people never to develop this attitude but to become senselessly hooked with a specific list of do's and don'ts. Consequently an alarming spirit of apathy is cultivated amongst many new poker players. A novice poker player should develop an attitude of creativity and curiousness. He should never be afraid to try new things and deviate from the established norms.

1989 Canadian Grand Prix
The 1989 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on 18 June 1989. The race, contested over 69 laps, was the sixth race of the 1989 Formula One season and was won by Belgian driver Thierry Boutsen, driving a Williams-Renault, after Ayrton Senna suffered an engine failure in his McLaren-Honda late on. It was Boutsen's first F1 victory, and the first for Williams with Renault engines. Teammate Riccardo Patrese finished second, with Andrea de Cesaris third in a Dallara-Ford.

Nigel Mansell and Alessandro Nannini were disqualified after starting from the pitlane before the race began. Both drivers had gone into the pits to change to slicks after the warm-up lap and when they got to the end of pit lane found no lights or officials stopping them from returning to the track (no lights is generally a sign the race had started). Despite the problem being caused by the race stewards not having the end of pit lane lights turned on, and pit lane officials not doing their job properly by stopping them from exiting the pits as the race had not started, Mansell and Nannini were still disqualified.
Stefan Johansson was black-flagged because an air-line became attached to his car during a pit stop. He ignored the flag to stop at the end of the pit lane and returned to the track, and was disqualified as a result.
Only fastest lap: Jonathan Palmer
18 out of 20 constructors who participated in the 1989 season had at least one car which qualified for the race. As of 2019, this number remains the record for the number of different teams on the starting grid.

We’re going to score "Untitled One Song" in stages. The first stage is this one: Where we establish the tones for each of the genre characters in the story. What we need are bits of instrumental music that will play under each group of characters’ lines at the top of the story, where they’re introduced. They will be edited to play only under the spots where the leader of each group is speaking, describing what they’d do to quash Silence. So:
Each piece will probably only have about 4 seconds (!) to play under each line. Therefore, your ideas have to be REALLY strong and clear; The music you make has to scream the genre we’re describing loudly...There’s no room for ambiguity. The audience needs to understand within just a few frames that we’re describing the trolls, glooms, etc. If it’s easier for you to write around 10 seconds of music, go for it...We’ll chop it down to fit the pix later. Also, it’s always helpful if your piece has an actual beginning and ending, not just a cutoff. On to specific musical suggestions:
Tempos should all be at least 130 BPM, to allow for enough measures to make a musical point. The Glooms, Engineers, and Princesses have some overlapping characteristics in general, but careful attention to the details I’ve spelled out will keep them distinct.
TROLLS: Punk distorted guitar, bass,drums. Power chords. No synths or drum machine-type sounds whatsoever.
GLOOMS: Emoish/shoegaze/goth kinda music. teenage angst, goth, 'no one understands me', elitist.This one can be slower, like around 110 BPM, if it’s helpful. Minor key would be a good place to start. I might suggest a pulsating eighth-note feel. Synth bass line. Clean, chorus’ed guitars (NOT distorted) playing rolled chords or arpeggio type figures. Simple, strong, high synth line on top of a synth pad?
ENGINEERS: Electronic/chiptune/8bit kind of music. Geeky, snorty, intelligent, nerdy, scientists, inventors.NOT a house beat, not dance music; Instead, dry retro drum machine texture. Square waves, arpeggios, classic-sounding analog synths, eighth-note synth bass line. No guitars. No acoustic instruments.
PRINCESSES: Bubblegum pop. Fun, ditsy, bubbley, pop, bright, princessy.Pure pop. Happy, fun, energetic. They should be lovely, charming, hearkening back to classic, tuneful pop. Can utilize drum machine-ey elements and synths, but try it with those elements in the background. If you can manage to craft a ‘typical’ modern-sounding pop music piece with some auto-tuned vocals and synth textures, while still keeping it lovable and sweet (instead of cynically-stupid pop music simply existing to make money), you’ll be a hero : ) | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8513836860656738}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '30848', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QAO7PVAP4C3ND7SMIO76GDF5ZQOCOZVO', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5e546430-64e0-48cf-8360-ddbfb2241a76>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 24, 15, 22, 2), 'WARC-IP-Address': '54.235.251.174', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:6625WD7JGKOTYAQCHIO7BKJYR2STVFLC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a4ef11ad-2bba-44b0-a953-1b6a94262429>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1404484', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ed7ff0f5-98a3-4131-aac1-e5b279b16519>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '396', 'url': 'http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1404484', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.15894079208374023', 'original_id': '7fbb238126c5221ff892e32017663e6071ec395ec621359a0c1180e17e352cb5'} |
Device for dispensing measured quantities of material
ABSTRACT
A dispenser is disclosed for storing and rapidly dispensing measured quantites of powdered or granulated material. The dispenser has a nonmoving measuring chamber having top and bottom sides which are alternately opened and closed upon activation of the dispenser to fill the measuring chamber from a storage chamber and then discharge the measured quantity of material in the measuring chamber into a receiving receptacle.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to apparatus capable of storing and dispensing measured quantities of a material.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a simple apparatus that enables the user thereof to easily and quickly dispense measured quantities of a material, such as coffee or flour by operating an easily actuated means.
Another important object of this invention is to provide a dispensing apparatus that is easy to manufacture and can be assembled and disassembled, without tools, for repair or cleaning by a layman not versed in the mechanical arts.
Still another important object of this invention is to provide a means for storing the material to be dispensed in a highly sanitary manner, until dispensed by actuation of the apparatus.
A further object of this invention is to provide a decorative accompaniment that will pleasingly embellish the decor of the location whereat the invention is located for use, such as a kitchen.
A feature of this invention resides in the structure of the dispensing mechanism that insures that the material readily flows when the actuated means has been operated by the user of the apparatus.
Other features of this invention reside in its simple structure that makes it easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and its ease of assembly and disassembly.
PRIOR ART
The need often arises to quickly and accurately dispense measured quantities of a granulated or powdered material, such as, in a restaurant to fill salt and pepper shakers, in chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories for the preparation of chemical compounds, or in the home in the preparation of drinks, baking, and cooking. This invention provides the means to insure that a quantity of material is accurately measured before being dispensed into a receptacle.
In the prior art there are a variety of granulated or powdered material dispensers having the capability of dispensing measured quantities of material. Generally, these dispensers are not practical for the home because they have a multiplicity of complex parts, they are relatively expensive to manufacture, not easily repairable, and are not easy to clean to maintain sanitary conditions or to change the material being measured. In some combinations, a rotating valve plate having a cavity in the side thereof is employed as the means of obtaining a measured quantity of granular material. More often than not, granular material becomes lodged between the rotating valve plate and its housing, the sweeping action of the rotating valve plate crushes or shears the material into particles thereby causing the material to become easily lodged between the plate and housing. After a period of use, a sufficient quantity of material will become lodged between the rotating valve plate and its housing to inhibit the rotational movement of the valve plate. At which time, the dispenser has to be dismanteled and cleaned. In addition, if the material that becomes lodged between the plate and housing is organic it will putrify and and contaminate the remaining material in the storage chamber. Further, the rotating valve plate shears the granulated material as the rotating valve plate sweeps across the storage chamber outlet thereby changing the physical and or chemical characteristics of the granulated material that is to be measured and used.
In other combinations, two discs and a measured well are used to obtain a measured quantity of granular material. The cumbersome operation of the apparatus requires the user to first operate one disc valve to prevent material from escaping from the metered well, secondly, operate a second disc valve to allow the advance of material from a storage hopper to the metered well, thirdly, release the second operated disc valve to cutoff further advance of material from the storage hopper to the well, and fourthly, release the first operated disc valve to allow the material to flow from the well to a receptacle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
My invention satifies these needs of the prior art. The preferred embodiment of my novel dispenser disclosed herein is made up of four or five parts all but one of which may be inexpensively and simply manufactured from molded plastic. These dispenser parts may be assembled or disassembled in a fraction of a minute and without tools by a person having little or no mechanical apptitude. Thus, the material in the dispenser may be easily changed, and the dispenser may easily be thoroughly cleaned to maintain it in a sanitary condition. In addition, the dispenser may simply and inexpensively be repaired without returning it to a repair facility.
The invention is best understood after reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings in which;
FIG. 1 is a perspective disassembly view of my novel dispenser;
FIG. 2 is a cutaway view of the body of the dispenser showing the assembly of the actuator and actuator spring within the body of the dispenser; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of my assembled novel dispenser.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIG. 1, therein is shown a perspective disassembly of my novel dispenser, comprising dispenser body 1, receptacle 2, retainer plate 3, actuator 4, and actuator spring 5. Body 1 has a recess 6 that receives the bottom edge of receptacle 2, and in the bottom of recess 6 is passage 7 through which powdered, granulated or other material (not shown) stored in receptacle 2 passes into the measuring cavity (not shown in this figure) within body 1. Channel 8 in the end wall of body 1 receives actuator 4 and actuator spring 5. Channel 8 and passage 7 are shown in greater detail in FIG. 2 and are described in further detail further in the specification. To assemble the dispenser, actuator 4 and spring 5 are inserted into channel 8 until actuator nose 19 is within channel 8, and then the edge members 12 of retainer plate 3 are inserted into grooves 13 of body 1 until retainer plate 3 snaps into place and fully covers the opening to channel 8.
Body 1, receptacle 2, plate 3, and actuator 4 may be advantageously molded out of high impact plastic of any desired color. Receptacle 2 may be force fit or screwed (molded threads) into recess 6 of body 1 and a cap (not shown) will close the top of receptacle 2.
Body 1 is shown rectangular in shape for ease in pictorially showing my novel dispenser, but it may be of any desired shape. In addition, body 1 and receptacle 2 are shown as two separate members for ease of showing the invention, but they may be made into one member of pleasing shape.
It should be noted that my novel dispenser comprises only five pieces or members and only four pieces when body 1 and receptacle 2 are made as one part. In addition, it should be noted that only one metal part, spring 5, is used in my dispenser, and no screws or other fasteners are utilized. The result is an economical and simple dispenser that is easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning by a person having little or no mechanical skill and without the need for tools. The simple assembly without tools will be understood upon reading the remainder of this specification.
While my novel dispenser will most likely be oriented with receptacle 2 on top of body 1 so that material in receptacle 2 will flow via passage 7 into the measuring cavity under the influence of gravity, the dispenser may be oriented in other positions and pressure means can be provided to then make the material in receptacle 2 flow into the measuring cavity within body 1.
The sides of the opening in the end wall of body 1 have grooves 13 in three sides thereof as indicated. The purpose of grooves 13 is to receive the three edges 12 of plate 3 as it is inserted into grooves 13 from the bottom of body 1 as shown. Plate 3 is inserted with grooves 13 slidably engaging edge members 12 until plate 3 is fully inserted. To aid in the retention of plate 3 in the entrance to passage 8, hemispherical depression 10 is molded into bottom edge 9 of body 1 in the manufacture of the plate.
As plate 3 is inserted, hemispherical protrusion 11 will come into contact with the bottom of edge 9, further insertion force causes protrusion 11 to ride up on edge 9 and will deform plate 3. Upon further and final insertion of plate 3, dimple 11 coincides with and more or less falls into depression 10, relieving the deforming force on plate 3 which returns to its normal flat posture. This may be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3. With protrusion 11 being in depression 10, plate 3 is prevented from readily sliding out of groove 13.
To remove plate 3 from grooves 13 for dispenser disassembly, a downward force causes protrusion 11 to ride out of depression 10 by deforming plate 3 until protrusion 11 passes below edge 9.
To fully assemble my novel dispenser, one end of spring 5 is placed in cavity 20 in the back of actuator nose 19, as seen in in FIG. 2, and the two pieces are inserted into channel 8, in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, with members 15 and 16 being inserted first. Upon actuator 4 and spring 5 being inserted into channel 8 spring 5 will be guided onto pin 25 as shown in FIG. 2 and described further in this specification. Actuator 4 and spring 5 are inserted until spring 5 is compressed and until nose 19 is within channel 8 past grooves 13. Plate 3 is then inserted, as previously described, until it locks into place. Actuator 4 is then released and compressed spring 5 expands pushing nose 19 through hole 14 in plate 3. The fully assembled state is seen in FIG. 3. Nose 19 is advantageously rounded to facilitate it passing easily through hole 14. Members 15 and 16 are advantageously rounded to facilitate their insertion into channel 8 of body 1.
To disassemble my novel dispenser, the above described procedure is simply reversed. Actuator 4 is pushed into body 1 until nose 19 is past plate 3, then plate 3 is removed by a downward force thereon, and actuator 4 and spring 5 are then removed. This procedure is not only simple but can be accomplished rapidly.
Briefly, when my dispenser is assembled and a material is placed into receptacle 2, a measured quantity of the material is dispensed out of an opening in the bottom of body 1 (not shown in FIG. 1, but shown in FIG. 2) by pushing actuator 4 into body 1 until nose 19 is approximately flush with plate 3 and then releasing actuator 4.
Turning now to describe in detail how the elements of my novel dispenser function to measure and discharge measured quantities of whatever material is stored in receptacle 2, with reference to FIG. 2.
Actuator 4 includes plates 15 and 16, each of which has a passage 17 and 18 therethrough respectively as seen in FIG. 1. It should be noted that passages 17 and 18 do not vertically coincide or vertically overlap at all. When actuator 4 is fully assembled into body 1, and the dispenser is in its normal unoperated state, passage 17 of actuator 4 does not coincide with passage 7 in body 1, but rather a solid portion of actuator member 16 closes off passage 7, as shown in FIG. 2, so that material in receptacle 2 cannot flow into the measuring cavity within body 1. In this normal unoperated state, passage 18 of actuator member 15 coincides with an opening 21 (not shown in FIG. 1 but shown in FIG. 2) through the bottom of body 1.
Upon operation of the dispenser by pushing actuator 4 into body 1 via actuator nose 19, a solid portion of plate 15, nearer nose 19 than passage 18, first closes off the opening 21 through the bottom of body 1. Upon further insertion of actuator 4 into body 1, passage 17 of plate 16 comes into coincidence with passage 7 in body 1 and material in receptacle 2 is then allowed to flow through passage 7 into the measuring cavity 24 within body 1. As actuator 4 is released a solid portion of plate 16, which is closest to passage 7, first closes off passage 7, then passage 18 of member 15 comes into coincidence with the hole 21 through the bottom of body 1 thereby allowing the material stored in the measuring cavity 24 to be discharged into another receptacle such as a cup or bowl (not shown) located below the dispenser. Thus it can be seen that actuator 4 with members 15 and 16 act as valve means to gate material in receptacle 2 into and out of cavity 24.
Referring to FIG. 2, therein is shown a side cut-away view of my assembled dispenser. Inner wall 26, is a suspended wall within body 1, and is fastened to and part of the side walls (not shown) of body 1, during the molding process of body 1. Inner wall 26 serves as one wall to form the measuring cavity 24 within body 1. In the alternative, inner wall 26 can be a separate member and appended, with appropriate fastening means, to the side walls of body 1 after the construction of body 1. The construction and form of inner wall 26 has been developed to provide slidable clearance and guidance to allow member 16 of actuator 4 to slidably pass over inner wall 26 and to allow member 15 of actuator 4 to slidably pass beneath inner wall 26 during the operation and assembly of my dispenser.
Inner wall 26 is provided with a spring guide or protusion 25 as a means of centering and guiding one end of coil spring 5 upon assembly of the dispenser. Upon assembly of the dispenser coil spring 5 is in compression and insures that actuator 4 will have its nose 19 extending through hole 14 through plate 3 when no external pressure is being applied to nose 19.
Spring guide 25 is rounded and is preferably molded as a part of wall 26 in the manufacture of dispenser body 1. This minimizes the number of pieces or members that make up my novel dispenser.
Prior to inserting actuator 4 into channel 8 of body 1 (FIG. 1), one end of coil spring 5 is inserted into depression or hole 20, in the back side of nose 19 of actuator 4. Depression 20 in actuator 4 has an appropriate depth and form to accept and hold coil spring 5 therein as actuator 4 is inserted into channel 8. The opposite end of coil spring 5 is thereby guided into spring guide 25. Upon complete assembly of my dispenser, coil spring 5 is supported between spring guide 25 and depression 20. The final insertion of actuator 4 into channel 8 of body 1 causes coil spring 5 to be further compressed between spring guide 5 and depression 20. As previously described, actuator 4 is inserted completely within body 1 so that retainer plate 3 may be slidably engaged and retained in grooves 13 of body 1. Actuator 4 is then released and spring 5 expands to push nose 19 through hole 14 of plate 3. Coil spring 5 remains compressed and maintains actuator 4 in the position shown in FIG. 2.
Whenever pressure, such as finger-tip pressure, is applied to nose 19 of actuator 4, actuator 4 moves into channel 8 of body 1 thereby causing coil spring 5 to further compress. Upon removal of external pressure from nose 19 of actuator 4, coil spring 5 will expand restoring actuator 4 to its normal or resting position with nose 19 extending through hole 14.
Measuring cavity 24 within body 1 is formed from inner walls 26, 27, and side walls (not shown) of body 1. The dimensions and placement of these walls control the volume of measuring cavity 24 and thereby control the amount of material that is measured and dispensed each time the dispenser is actuated.
Inner wall 27 of body 1 has channels 22 and 23 to slidably accept and engage members 15 and 16 of actuator 4. Channels 22 and 23 are also formed during the molding process of body 1 and have a a channel dimension that conforms to the shape and dimensions of plates 15 and 16 of actuator 4 so as not to impede the travel of plates 15 and 16 into their respective channels 22 and 23, nor to slidably engage plates 15 and 16 loosely.
Again referring to FIG. 2, therein is shown plates or members 15 and 16 of actuator 4 having appertures or passages 17 18. Passages 17 and 18 of actuator 4 are offset with respect to each other as previously described and are the means of controlling material entering and exiting measuring cavity 24. Placing the dispenser in its normal or resting position by the release of external pressure from nose 19 of actuator 4 causes passage 18 of plate 15 to be aligned with passage or hole 21 of body 1. In this state, plate 15 can be said to be in the normally open position. While plate 15 is in the normally open position, material that has accumulated in measuring cavity 24 of body 1 is allowed to flow through passage 18 and passage 21 respectively and into a container (not shown) placed beneath passage 21.
During the normal or resting state of the dispenser, passage 17 of actuator 4 does not coincide with passage 7 of body 1, but rather a solid portion of member or plate 16 covers or closes passage 7 of body 1. In this state, plate 16 can be said to be in the normally closed position and prevents material contained in receptacle or container 2 (FIGS. 1 and 3) from flowing into measuring cavity 24.
Actuator 4 initiates a measuring cycle whenever pressure is applied to nose 19 of actuator 4. The normal pressure required to start the measuring cycle is that pressure one would normally apply with the finger tips. As pressure is applied to nose 19, actuator 4 responds thereto and travels into channel 8 from right to left (FIG. 2) causing coil spring 5 to compress. Members 15 and 16, cooperating with the movement of actuator 4, will be further inserted into their respective channels 22 and 23. First passage 18 of plate 15 closes off opening 21. Further travel of actuator 4 into channel 8 of body 1 will cause plates 15 and 16 to further enter channels 22 and 23 thereby aligning passage 17 with passage 7. On final travel of actuator 4 into body 1 coil spring 5 will be in its final compressed state, and passage 17 of plate 16 will be aligned with passage 7 of body 1. In this state of the measuring cycle material is allowed to flow from receptacle or container 2 through passage 7 of body 1 and passage 17 of plate 16 into measuring cavity 24 of the dispenser under the influence of gravity. The flow of material will cease when measuring cavity 24 becomes full.
The removal of pressure from nose 19 of actuator 4 starts the dispensing cycle and allows coil spring 5 to expand from its final compressed state. The expansion of coil spring 5 causes actuator 4 to travel out of channel 8 and to be restored to its normal or resting position as shown in FIG. 2. Plates 15 and 16, cooperating with the movement of actuator, are realigned to the normally open and normally closed states allowing material in cavity 24 to be dispensed via passsage 21 of body 1 into a receptacle after preventing further material from flowing into measuring cavity 24 through passage 7 of body 1.
Though I have shown and asserted herein a particular construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, my invention is not limited to the particular embodiment shown herein. For example, the arrangement of the appertures or holes through valve plates or members 15 and 16 can be reversed. This latter arrangement would allow the measuring cavity to fill with material whenever the valve plates are in their normal positions and the measured material will be dispensed when the actuator is depressed. It is also obvious that the main body of the dispenser may be made more complex to provide apparatus or means to change the volume of the measuring cavity to dispense varied quantities of material.
I claim:
1. A dispenser comprising a support body having interior walls therein defining a first passage through said body and a channel, a portion of said first passage being closed off to define a measuring cavity, and the remaining portion of said first passage providing ingress to and egress from said measuring cavity,a container mounted on said support body adjacent to the portion of said first passage providing ingress to said cavity, a first valve plate and a second valve plate slidably mounted in said channel and protruding into said first passage to define a top and bottom of said measuring cavity, said plates cooperating such that said second plate closes the bottom of said cavity while said first plate opens the top of said cavity permitting ingress of material from said container into said cavity, and the top of said cavity is closed by said first plate before said second plate opens the the bottom of said cavity to permit egress of said material in said cavity from said dispenser, an actuator connected to said first and said second valve plates for operating both said plates, a spring functioning with said actuator, a retainer having an aperture therethrough and being slidably engaged in slots in the side of said support body to permit assembly of said dispenser, said actuator with both said valve plates connected thereto and said spring being inserted into said channel, a force being applied to said actuator to compress said spring to permit said actuator and said valve plates connected thereto to be completely inserted within said support body before said retainer is slidably engaged in said slots, upon the release of the force applied to said actuator said spring decompresses causing a nose portion of said actuator to protrude through said retainer aperture in a normal first position in which said first valve plate opens the top of said measuring cavity while said second valve plate closes the bottom of said cavity and a force is applied to said actuator nose portion to place said actuator in a second position where said first plate closes the top of said cavity while said second plate opens the bottom of said cavity.
2. The invention in accordance with claim 1 wherein said retainer has a hemispherical protrusion thereon and said support body has a hemispherical depression thereon which is in registration with said protrusion upon said retainer when said retainer is fully inserted into said slots in the side of said support body, said protrusion interfering with said support body as said retainer is inserted into said last mentioned slots to warp said retainer, and upon said retainer being fully inserted said protrusion goes into said depression removing the interference causing said retainer to warp and thereby holds said retainer in said slots..

Q:
Check for resultCode in Android's BroadcastReceiver?
I want to make a check if resultCode is RESULT_OK in Android's BroadcastReceiver's onReceive method like we do in onActivityResult method of an Activity, but how will I do that is my question.
Receiver's code is:
new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//This is what I like to check.
//if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
}
};
A:
To make a check of resultCode in BroadcastReceiver's onReceive(...) method, we can use getResultCode() method of BroadcastReceiver. This will give us current resultCode (which can be the standard results
RESULT_CANCELED,
RESULT_OK
or any custom values starting at RESULT_FIRST_USER).
For the above question, its implementation is given as:
new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//This is what I like to check.
if(getResultCode() == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
//Your code here.
}
}
};
A:
You can used following code
if (getResultCode() == Activity.RESULT_OK ) {
...
}

Black and White but Stuck In the Grey
When your on the outside looking in you see a lot of situations as black and white, and that was me. I thought I knew right from wrong and good justice and it seemed so simple before. Recently, it's not the case. I've found myself actually in the middle of those situations and I don't know what to do anymore. I've come to find out that it's actually more of a grey area than you would think.
Today I found out that Keaton broke up with my friend Phishie.
As a girl, I automatically feel the responsibility to side with her. To make sure she's okay and ostracize the guy. That's what seems like the right thing to do in the situation. That's what I always consented myself to do in the case of that situation. In the case of x-boyfriends, they are off limits and you don't easily forgive them for doing that to a dear friend.
I mean, they've been going out for almost a year now and he just suddenly broke it up... OVER TEXT! They go to different schools but they always see each other in the mornings now. It wasn't a necessity like it was for Adam and I, we lived in two different states. So obviously, that wasn't the right thing to do. Not to mention that it's almost Valentines but that also brings in the question what is the time period that you should avoid breaking up with someone because of Valentines?
The problem is however, Keaton considers me a friend and I him. He's funny and a dear friend to me in this class. But I've only known him to about a week so the bonds of friendship shouldn't be that deep already and easily broken off? Is completely breaking off my friendship with him really the right thing to do?
I really don't want to actually. But I also don't want him to just get off free from hurting a dear friend of mine either.
However, now I'm feeling the guilt because he's currently ignoring me due to the way I'm blaming him for things and listen to some angry music (which I can hear through his headphones). So that makes me feel bad for making him upset...
Can I really make him feel guilty for the way that he feels?
I mean, I did read the text and it was pretty nice considering but still, I feel the obligation as Phishie's friend to not excuse his behavior... because I'm not supposed to, right?
I feel really bad about making Keaton mad right now. Phishie doesn't even seem that upset, just shocked. She said on a scale of 1-10 she's a 7... but part of me feels like that can't be right, just because they dated for almost year.... If she's telling the truth, I guess I could be easier on him but what if she's lying?
I don't know what to do guys! Help!
Blah Blah Blah, write on!

interview: marko vesovic
Marko Vesovic is a writer, a poet, and a former friend of Karadzic.
When did you meet Karadzic for the first time and what was he like?
Before I say anything about Karadzic, in one sentence, and I would like for you to take it out, and that is - If you speak about Karadzic today, it doesn't seem to be a very interesting matter. Because his case is very clear. He is a war criminal who should be taken to where his rightful place is - the International Court in the Hague. And every story in that context is not interesting. During the war, it was much more interesting to talk about Karadzic when we were being shelled. So, because I talked about him for a hundred times during the war, I can talk about him for the hundred and first time now. And now to return to your question.
I came to Sarajevo in 1963, and then a group of very interesting people came together at the Faculty, mostly the Yugoslav Literatures Department, and these people later didn't stop their involvment in literature, so some of them became quite well known. So it was seven or eight truly gifted people and we lived together, we were friends. We were enthusiasts and we lived for literature - literature was, for us, the most important thing on the planet, in the Universe.
Karadzic had enrolled at the Medical Faculty and he was someone who, to put it plainly, for whom you could say, "Well, he too dabbles in writing, so let him be with us." Although, no one ever took seriously his writing because of the simple reason that - I don't think it was just our generation - but I think it was our generation who had stated the following terms: if you want to be involved in serious literature you have to read it, a lot of it. You have to study it, you have to know what it stands for, you have to have read certain books.
And for Karadzic it was a hobby. He studied medicine, and while he studied medicine he wasn't capable of reading anything else at the same time. He had also had a high school diploma from the medical vocational school, not even a gymnasium. Why do I talk about this? Because we had considered his case hopeless, as far as literature is concerned. Therefore, a man who hadn't even graduated from a gymnasium doesn't even have an elementary idea of what literature is. But, there he was, writing something, so we let him come on board.
So, this could have been somewhere around '64 or '65, I'm not exactly sure. In any case, it was over thirty years ago. So, he was someone who would become a physician one day, and who we accepted in our company, letting him ride on our tails in a way. I really did associate with Karadzic, and I have to admit that I was his friend until 1971 or 1972 - again I'm not sure. I just know it was the end of '71 and beginning of '72 when I broke off my contact with him because I thought he was a police informer.
A colleague of mine from the Faculty says that there are three things you can never prove - that someone is a whore, that someone is a police informer and I can't remember what the third thing was. However, on the basis of certain facts, the existence of certain proofs, I felt compelled to stop all connections with him because I didn't want to wonder if, when he is in my home, whether he was spying on me or not, whether he was an informer.
For about ten years I didn't have any contacts with him and when I renewed my acquaintance with him, it wasn't real friendship. It could not have been real friendship. Besides other things, this was a man who had changed. He wasn't the same man he was in his youth - all of a sudden this was a man who was obsessed with money. And that is one of the explanations for why he later became what he had become. Because we can say whatever we want, but that man got money for this. He got money for what he had done - loads and loads of money.
And besides other reasons, he became a war criminal because, and this was even announced by the television and newspapers in Serbia, that he came out of this war worth one hundred and eighty million Deutschmarks. So, he was worth 180, 000,000 Deutschmarks. Therefore, when I remember the Karadzic with whom I had renewed my acquaintance, who was obsessed with money, with making money...
I once asked him, "All right, you'll be making money, and so what?" And then he suddenly remembered he was some kind of a poet too. Because we were all poets who had decided to be involved with literature, and who had made a conscious choice to be poor! As we indeed were. Each and every one of us.
Because he probably thought I was asking him something along the lines of whether he knew how someone could be a poet and still be obsessed with money. So he said, "You know, it's good to have something to leave to your children."
"Yeah, really", I said. Even Chichikov, the hero of Gogol's great novel Dead Souls, makes all those shady deals with money and he wanted to earn money, because as Gogol says, he was very concerned for his children, for his progeny, even though he wasn't married and didn't have any children. It reminded me of Chichikov's concern for his children.
That is to say...It's really about a man who was really something else until '71 or '72. At least that was my impression of him until I broke off with him, and after that he was really different.
And what was your experience with him until 1970 - well, really 1971 nad 1972?
There's, there's one basic thing. Karadzic was a man who, from my perspective, a literary perspective... Karadzic was a man who preferred to talk about his literary talent and greatness to working. We knew very well that literature is a bloody job, that it's hard labor. He was a typical lazy Montenegran. Montenegrans are known for being lazy. I don't know to what extent this is true, but there's no doubt that for me, Karadzic was the stereotype of a lazy Montenegran. He was not willing to sit down, study, look at the books, read. He preferred to speak of his big literary plans. There is a novel he started to write 30 years ago...and he never finished it.
Karadzic, the way he appears now before my eyes as he had been before he started to deal with politics, I seem to recognize in him the traits of a typical Montenegrin megalomania. That is, of course, just one part, we can't explain his qualities by the qualities of his people. He, well, prefers to say that he is a Serb, and let him be a Serb, but I know that he is a Montenegran, that he is from Montenegro, and I recognize the Montenegran in him.
You know, Montenegrans are a very small nation, there are only 400,000 of them, there were always few of them. That's why Montenegrans always thought that one of them must be worth 10 others to compensate for this lack in the population.
A poet once said, "We Montenegrans are a small nation, even with our dead." I know a lot of Montenegrans that speak, in a megalomaniac way, about their manly, Montenegran glory which is really just baloney. We'd listen to that thinking; it was harmless. He is a liar who produces lies and those lies turns against him more than against those around him, that is, a lier who has to lie because...I talked to his colleagues, his co-workers from the clinic who also know him perfectly well. He is the man who destroyed everything whatever he took in his hands.
For example, when he took up business, he began building a chicken farm, I think, I don't know, in Pale, and he finished in a prison for eleven months. I remember very well when as a young man he started to make his career as seducer, because he was tall, thin, with a Montenegran mug. And when those women started to go through his room, different women, bad things happened.
He stumbled upon a woman who was quite ugly but wise, who waited until it was too late to abort a baby and forced him to marry her. For us, I remember very well, that was a catastrophe. Young guys that have high criteria, he was good looking, and he married a woman, for whom at the time the best comparison was - this is not mine - she looked at that time heavy as an artillery horse (trans. note - a horse pulling heavy artillery, e.g. a cannon).
He had a breakdown. He started writing some kind of poems - they looked horrible. Except maybe that last book of his which Nikola Koljevic and I were editing. We even put our own lines in - so maybe you could find something there. His great plan was to become a well-known psychiatrist but at the same time he tried to write a dissertation. For 20 years he was changing the topic of that dissertation. He wanted to write a thesis on Ivo Andric and then he changed his mind and then he found someone else and changed his mind.
So eventually... And I forgot about this - for ten years he tried to write his M.A. thesis and then on the eve of the war he decided to write about different kinds of depression. His colleague told me about it. He said that he'd found two, three books in English about depression and he didn't know English at that time.
When we were watching him during the war, at the beginning of the war, on TV from Pale, all of us could see what kind of English he could speak - Pidgin English. He said, full of pride, that he'd read those two books in English, he came to his colleagues and he said, Well, now I know everything about depression. There is no one in Yugoslavia who knows more on the subject than me! And they looked at him and laughed to themselves and they said, Well, there are two or three hundred books on depression in the world, which you have to read and then you can say you know something about depression." And he'd only read one percent of that.
Now we come to the central issue. He is a born politician.
A very good aphorist from Belgrade said, "It's not that they are war criminals, that's just the program of our party (our party line)". If the times weren't what they were, but normal times, he still would have been like that. He's a born politician because of his absolute self-confidence.
And because of his optimism. In my opinion, a politician is by definition a born optimist. He really did have these characteristics which would have made him a politician even in a different kind of time when butchering people and changing the borders wasn't a part of it. The point is, I have talked to his colleagues and I didn't know how to find the right description for him. But they did. He is a psychopath. You know, being a psychopath is a very dangerous illness.
You can be a psychopath and still perfectly function in society. A lot of people are psychopaths...perhaps I am one too. In any case, that was their diagnosis, all of them said the same thing, we're not talking about just one person's. You see a psychopath, a psychopath suffers from the feeling of psychological deficiency. A feeling of a psychological gap, a defficiency.
So now, we have fiction, there are stories he made up about his greatness, his talents, his genius, his merits, his masculinity and his good looks and with all those stories he wanted to fill that psychological hole, to cover with words all that he lacked. Actually he had an inferiority complex that made him believe that he is not sufficient as a human being.
That is a definition given by his friends, and which I think was very accurate at the time. Considering that I'd known him too and that he did say what he said in other places. And I knew that what was behind it was that he had to convince himself that he was a somebody, because his results (the facts) were spelling failure. So what he did was he erected a wall between himself and the truth and he'll never dare to look at what is behind that wall. With that wall, he knew he didn't see his own face and the truth about that face and he will die by that wall believing that he's a great man.
What was interesting in him to you during this period and made you want to be close to him?
Well, he had some qualities. Whoever underestimated his intelligence during the war, made me angry. You know how it is when you have the image of a monster in front of you, everyone says, "Well, look at him, he's ugly, horrible, stupid..." That is not true. He had intelligence, he had a real mountain-man's, peasant shrewdness. The fact is that he didn't have the willpower, the wherewithal, the dilligence to polish this kind of shrewdness. I don't even think he was wholly without a talent, but he never found his own literary voice. He always stayed at the level of imitation. He was an imitator. He was capable of imitating someone else's voice, whether it was the voice of Georg Trakl, who is a great Austrian poet, or Momcilo Nastasijevic, a great Serbian poet, or of Vasko Popa, a great Serbian poet ( He is really Macedonian - trans. note) or of Rajko Novo who was his colleague.
Therefore, it's not true that he didn't have any talent, that he wasn't intelligent. Now, it is also true that we were young at that time and we couldn't discern real qualities from the fake ones. All possibilities were before us but most of us knew we literally had to slave over our work. But he thought that what God gave him at birth was enough and that he could achhieve everything with just that. Mentally, psychologically, that is a negative attitude.
My perception of him always was that he was a person made of clay. There is a word `rahatlokum' in Bosnia, and that is a desert like jello and he was like a person made of jello, malleable, that can be eaten or taken with coffee...little by little. He was a man made out of rahatlokum.
He is simply a man without a core (a center). He didn't have it as a human being nor as a poet. He was the kind of man who needed all his life to have someone who would tell him what to do - whether it was his wife in the house or even in his poem he has to have someone better than him to tell him what to do. It was quite natural that he functioned perfectly in Pale because he had a commander in Dedinje.
And Milosevic had a perfect student. I maintain that 95% of what happened in Bosnia was the product of Milosevic's mind, those were his commands and his ideas. Maybe five percent of it he did for his own pocket, for his personal enjoyment and pleasure. So maybe, all in all, that was all that had come from his head and his ideas - in the rest he was a perfect imitator and in politics he perfectly followed Milosevic's orders just like in literature he perfectly imitated other ideas and other styles.
Therefore, a man without a human core. And that is something we didn't really see in the beginning. Because in youth all of us are full of vitality, energy, eager to do everything, However, after the student demonstrations of 1968 we noticed a certain aura around him and he became a suspicious person. And it was natural that police wanted to find a spy among students and it was natural that Radovan was that target because at that time he had a child and wife so it was easiest to blackmail him. For me it was unbelievable that the police could break the personality of one of us so he would tell on us.
So that is the basic feeling, that you can mold him into what you need, that he didn't have the moral fiber, or even a mental strength, that he was kind of plasma, that he was a plasmatic being. That is something that I noticed after our early youth. After the early years, it's a different story. In our early youth we are lit by a kind of flame, and as soon as the youth is gone, people's characters develop. The first thing I realized was that he was a tepid personality, a weakling, without any strength, a sea-shell without its shell.
You renewed your contacts with Karadzic after you had broken the friendship.
There is an interesting story there. Rajko Nogo lived here and he was my best friend until he went to Belgrade and he is now one of the worst Serbian racists - it's not even nationalism anymore. So then, he said to me at that time, `Do you really think Karadzic is still a spy?' Well, for me it was not so important. In 1971 wrote one story for which I was reprimanded for by the communists. So in those days, Karadzic didn't leave his house. So he was listening to everyone coming in, listening to all the stories, cursing the government, the people were young and energetic - I was really, truly outside the politics and what happened was accidental. I don't remember exactly what the topic of my story and I finally became indifferent to the reprimand, when Nogo tells me, "Do you really think he's a spy?" I told him I didn't care anymore and that I'd rather have a have my own Montenegran inform against me than someone from Bosnia who didn't know me at all, and he really knew me.
I wanted to say something else related to Karadzic - as a person who was completely different after our renewed contact. In the intervening time when we had no contact Karadzic had incorporated himself perfectly into urban life. When I say perfectly incorporated, I mean successfully incorporated. He was a man who had made a home, he had got an apartment - I didn't have one. He and his wife had a job.
Karadzic was working as a psychologist for the Sarajevo football team - one of the two biggest teams in Bosnia, and one of the famous teams in the former Yugoslavia. He also worked in (inaudible) - which was a huge company, a giant company in Sarajevo and Bosnia before the war. I know very well, he would go to Vares. He had some kind of an aunt there. So it was a man who had perfectly incorporated into the urban world.
He held `soirees', how shall I put it, people of different nationalities would get together - Serbs, Montenegrans, Muslims, Bosniaks, Jews... That was the proof that he made good social contacts. The creme de la crema, the elite gathered there, told stories, there were delicacies. I went once, but only once - and I didn't like it- It was unbearably snobbish. I know him, he's a peasant just like I am, I could imagine people like that gathering around me, but for him it was poof that he was fitting in perfectly into that world.
For me, that's one of the great symbols of the prewar Karadzic. The Karadzic with great social intelligence. It was because of a computer telephone book. The first time I ever saw one was at his place. Later it became something common. So, I heard this from a medical man who worked in the same hospital with him. He only told me this: he said,
"Karadzic showed me his computer phone book once, and said, 'My Hamdo, there are 1,500 names in this phone book.' "
That is typical of Karadzic.. that is a man with widespread connections. I remember being shocked.
The phone rang once I happened to be at his place, he answered it and spoke to the academician Alojz Benec - one of those people to whom I could only have said "Good day, Professor" out of respect if I saw him on the street. He was making plans for dinner with him, so they were going out to dinner, and saying, "I'm sorry, Professor, but could we move it up to the day after tomorrow, instead of tomorrow?"
My jaw dropped. I thought to myself, "I'd be ashamed to... What would I even have to say to Benec?"
The second thing is, that was only one side of it. The other thing is, if you're car breaks down, and you want an excellent mechanic who wouldn't rip you off, overcharge you, Karadzic would dial a number and say, "Listen, I'm sending a friend over to your shop, please don't rip him off, man."
So, from a car mechanic to Alojz Benec... He had perfect connections, he was so incorporated...
That's why I just wanted to explode from frustration when he started to speak about his jeopardized position in Sarajevo. And he continued talking about it when he left for Pale, he who had been persecuted, those who had abused him during communism, "exiled" him to America.
To New York for a year. And no one offered anything like that to me. And that's a secret we were never able to solve. I thought they sent him as a medical doctor. His doctor colleagues thought they had sent him as a writer.
During the war I once talked to his doctor friends about it. And I said, "That was when you sent Karadzic to America, to New York for a year".
"Who sent him", they said.
"You did, surely".
"That's out of the question", they said.
"That could not have happened under any criteria at all, because we never sent anyone, it was absolutely out of the question for us to send someone to do their specialization elsewhere. He finished his specialization in 1980, and he left for America in 1974. We thought you writers had sent him".
"We writers? He was a zero as a writer! What would he, besides, he doesn't even speak English."
Among other things, he went to study English culture, or Anglo-Saxon culture and literature, he couldn't even croak in English. It's remained a secret as to who sent him, I know it surely wasn't the PEN, I know it wasn't the hospital. Who sent him? Now I can only tell you the rumours - that KOS sent him (The Counterintelligence Agency) of the former Yugoslavia, but those are things that cannot be checked, about which we can only talk.
How did he get involved in politics? Was it his initiative, did someone push him into it?
Here's what I know: at the beginning he was in that Green Party. So, defending nature - when those parties sprang up. And suddenly, it was strange to everyone, when he all of a sudden - and I think I was out of the country during that summer, anyway when I came back from my vacation, I'm not really sure where I was - Karadzic had become the head of SDS (Serbian Democratic Party).
I know one thing, and I've always stood by this - half of the credit that Karadzic became a war criminal goes to his wife, and half to everything else - to Milosevic, and the situation, and the circumstances, and ideology, and money, etc. I know that, and I'll stand by it until I die.
And here's why - there was a time when Karadzic was very moderate, he had to be a moderate because he needed the votes of Muslims and Croats. So, before the election, when he weaved wonderful stories on TV... So my acquaintances would come up and say, "That Karadzic of yours..." For example, he'd give an interview at night again, and they'd say, "Listen, that Karadzic of yours... Finally someone smart and moderate to get into politics." And so on.
And he talked beautifully here. He knew perfectly well what to say to whom. That's what makes him a politician. He has the perfect ability to know who wants to hear what from him. For example, what a woman wants to hear and what a man wants to hear. What Serbs, what Croats and what Muslims like. He had the ability to say perfectly exactly what you wanted to hear. So before the elections, wanting the Croatian and Muslim votes, he told these sugary stories about Bosnia, centered on neighborhood idea.
The neighbor is something holy to a Serb, etc. etc. Eh, but at the same time I knew what his wife was saying. She's a mean and evil woman. She said, I'm not exactly sure, her family was killed by the Ustashe somewhere around Livno or Duvno, I'm not sure now, anyway, it was in Herzegovina. I don't know how many exactly, but she said it was 23 people. It is beyond doubt that her family had suffered, but how many or what happened, I don't know.
And then she said... While Karadzic was telling magnificent stories on TV, she was saying this, "Now it's time for us to fuck their mothers". Literally, here's what she said, "What does it mean, fuck their mothers? Everyone's who was an Ustasha. Eh, we know there were Muslims who were Ustashe, there were Croats from Croatia..." So retribution, and "we'll fuck their mothers, of all of them." She wasn't hiding that at all.
So when you compared what that woman was saying and what Karadzic was saying .... (inaudible) ... I thought, knowing her influence over him, "This woman will make a monster out of this man." That's what flashed through my head. But then I thought that well, maybe women are not so powerful as to influence politics.
However, that's probably true, that he became a sick man, dependent on his wife. I was stunned when an Italian journalist also discovered that when he was in Pale. I read an interview with Ljilja Karadzic, i.e. his wife, published in an Italian magazine, maybe Corriere de la Sera. I had a friend who translated it for me. It's a fantastic interview - among other things, the journalist who didn't have any private information about his wife, wrote that Karadzic has a parliament session, and every once in a while he stops the session so he could go out and confer with his wife. That's what he recorded, without knowing what was going on - it was simply a detail he saw and recorded.
That's Karadzic and that's his wife. So, when he was simply out of energy or ideas he went out to ask for his wife's advice, to refill his batteries, store up on energy, etc.
You've talked about Karadzic as a politician. However, at what moment did you realize that he had crossed a boundary, that he entered into a situation where from a politician he turned into someone capable of inexplicable cruelties? When did you realize that?
In the last six months, I simply avoided them. Of course, without thinking that there was going to be a slaughterhouse in Bosnia. I simply saw that they became different people, that they came to power, and you could see how the power changed them - the authority, the money...
So I thought that Karadzic, that he wasn't, OK, so he deals with politics and all that, but I still had an impression of Karadzic that didn't match up with what I could see, and this was at the beginning of the war. I'm not exactly sure, never ask me about dates, I don't remember them well. I only know this - we were still hoping that the war would stop. As if a misunderstanding had happened - human consciousness could not possibly agree to evil, to a war. We thought it was entirely monstrous, that there was a war in Sarajevo, and Bosnia as a whole.
And then there was the constant question of will there be a war, won't there be a war... Then, the foreigners were coming, then someone was dragging things out, negotiations, etc.
And then the Bosnian, that is, the intelligence service, which secretly recorded a series of Karadzic's conversations, which they played later, with his military commanders, with Mladic, etc., I think all of that is known around the world.
One of these Karadzic conversations was recorded, the most of which I forgot, but one sentence remained in my mind forever. The thing is, one of his commanders, obviously one of his commanders, told him that the people weren't obeying orders. And this is what it kind of meant - that there were people there still who refused to pick up their guns and kill their neighbors, with whom they had lived until yesterday.
And now comes Karadzic's reply, that goes like this, "Shoot every motherfucker who refuses to do his duty!" The voice which said this shocked me. And it was forever engraved in my mind. Because for me, all I had known about Karadzic up to then, dissolved in one second. I only realized that it wasn't the same man; that weakling, that clay... He became someone who had control over the life and death of his own nation. "I can just imagine", I thought, "what he does to others when he orders executions of his own copatriots who refuse to get their guns and do their duty".
And only until then, only until then, I could think this way and that way, but I suddenly realized, with this sentence, that the war wouldn't stop. That it's impossible to stop when you have, in the meantime, I couldn't understand the word "monster". None of the news about what he'd done in and around Bosnia hadn't reached us. And for a long time after that, too, I think, even two months after - only later people started to talk. I only saw that I had a different man before me. It wasn't him, it was someone else.

After spending just over a year behind bars without charge, Turkish-German journalist Deniz Yucel was released from a Turkish jail on February 16. Just hours later, six other journalists in the country were issued a life sentence for “or attempting to overthrow the constitutional order”.
With 155 journalists serving jail time because of their work, these days of highs and lows are beginning to feel routine for Turkey's embattled independent media community.
BBC described Deniz Yucel's imprisonment as a long-standing “irritant” in the relations between the two countries. His release came shortly after Turkish PM's visit to Germany this week.
Deniz Yucel was arrested exactly 367 days ago on suspicion of “inciting the people to racial hatred and enmity” and “spreading the propaganda of a terrorist organization”.
Soon after his release was announced, crowd gathered outside the jail, where Yucel joined his wife who was waiting for him:
But the ordeal is not yet over. Yucel was charged and indicted upon his release, with the prosecution demanding that he be sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Same court that ordered #DenizYucel‘s release has apparently accepted an indictment calling for up to 18 years imprisonment. Not quite clear what is going on, but a key issue is whether he is being allowed to travel abroad. — Howard Eissenstat (@heissenstat) February 16, 2018
In ordering Deniz Yücel’s release, the court also accepted his newly issued indictment. He faces 4 to 18 years in prison. https://t.co/eLnK8rwqZa — Piotr Zalewski (@p_zalewski) February 16, 2018
While colleagues and friends celebrated the news of Yucel's release, another court decision came down, this time affecting the fate of a different group of journalists.
Deniz is finally free. Six others have just been sentenced to life behind bars: https://t.co/mrW1wy9amx. https://t.co/KDHNoS7Spd — Piotr Zalewski (@p_zalewski) February 16, 2018
A Turkish court has jailed for life journalists Ahmet Altan, Mehmet Altan, Nazli Ilicak & Fevzi Yazici & one other defendant for seeking to “overthrow the constitutional order” in alleged coup plot https://t.co/nouqX4ZnJA — Ayla Jean Yackley (@aylajean) February 16, 2018
Awful news coming in from Silivri jus now. #AhmetAltan #MehmetAltan & #NazlıIlıcak faced a trial in which no credible evidence was presented beyond their words. This verdict does not pass the test of international human rights law. #FreeTurkeyMedia https://t.co/R8M8HJpg1N — Milena Buyum (@MilenaBuyum) February 16, 2018
Ahmet Altan, Mehmet Altan, Nazli Ilica, Yakup Şimşek, Fevzi Yazıcı and Şükrü Tuğrul Özsengül were handed a lifetime prison sentence after being convicted of involvement with Turkey's 2016 coup, despite a lack of direct evidence.
Five of the six defendants are journalists and intellectuals all had strong ties with opposition news outlets in the past. Ahmet Altan is the former editor-in-chief of Taraf newspaper and his brother, Mehmet Altan is an academic and journalist who once wrote for Hurriyet. Nazli Ilıcak has written for Hurriyet, in addition to other newspapers, and briefly served as an MP for the Virtue party.
Yakup Şimşek and Fevzi Yazıcı worked with Zaman newspaper, which was one of Turkey's largest independent daily newspapers until 2016, when the government seized its operations, alleging that the outlet had ties to Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen.
Anadolu Agency reported that six people were convicted for attempting to overthrow the constitutional order and of having communicated with associates of Gulen, whom Turkey blames for the July 2016 failed coup.
In addition to facing legal threats, all of these journalists have been subject to extralegal harassment. One year ago, President Erdogan called Yucel a terrorist in one of his televised speeches.
Bu konuşmayı tam 1 yıl önce çekmiştim. Deniz sonunda özgür. Darısı Alman vatandaşı olmayan gazeteci arkadaşlarımızın başına. #DenizYücel pic.twitter.com/wxQqR1COOL — goktay koraltan (@goktay) February 16, 2018
I filmed this speech one year ago. Deniz is finally free. I wish the same for the rest non-German citizen journalists friends of mine.
Video clip translation: They are hiding this German terrorist, this spy at the embassy. They hid him for a month. And German Chancellor asked him from me. She said to release him. I told her we have an independent judiciary. Just like your judiciary is independent so is mine. It is [the judiciary] objective. That is why I am sorry to say, you won't take them from us. Finally, he was brought to court. He was arrested. Why? Because he is spy terrorist. Who cares he is a German citizen. It doesn't matter whose citizen you are, if you are spreading terror in Turkey, if they are secretly spies, they will pay the price.
Supporters in Turkey and around the world tweeted their shock at the decision:
Today's verdict & sentences of life without parole for #AhmetAltan, #MehmetAltan & #NazliIlicak mark an apex of the disintegration of the #Ruleoflaw in #Turkey. Judge ignored a binding Turkish Constitutional Court decision. The European Court of Human Rights #ECtHR must act. pic.twitter.com/mH0njuskpu — Sarah Clarke (@Sarah_M_Clarke) February 16, 2018
As Ahmet Altan, Mehmet Altan and Nazlı Ilıcak are given “aggravated life sentences”, it is worth remembering what that sentence is. It is life without parole, with up to 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. Forever and ever, amen. — Can Okar (@canokar) February 16, 2018
On February 12, both Ahmet and Mehmet Altan were thrown out of the courthouse, for demanding to read the constitutional court decision which ruled for their release in January. The two brothers demanded that the decision which was overturned within 24 hours by the ruling of the 27th High Court is put on the record.
The next day, on February 13, speaking from high-security prison via video link, Ahmet Altan in his defense said the following:
Those in political power no longer fear generals. But they do fear writers. They fear pens, not guns. Because pens can reach where guns cannot: into the conscience of a society.
When the verdict was handed to Altan brothers today, one observer said cries and screams filled the courtroom.
Meanwhile, there are at least four other German Turkish citizens behind bars in Turkey, while the total number of imprisoned journalists and writers since the coup has now surpassed 150. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9cdd7dbbc3a88e84b1e429af5704efb58e3b8a866f2408322e8ba795f07435e3'} |

What to do with all these egg yolks?!?
I've got almost two dozen egg yolks on my hands after using the egg whites to make some macaroons. Do you have any ideas for what to do with all these egg yolks? I know I can make some ice cream with them, I know I can make some creme brulee, but what else is out there for me to make? Bonus points for anything that is more savory that I could serve for dinner.

1. I won't get bonus points, but I would consider making zabaglione.
1. - flan
- aioli
- egg drop soup
- ceasar dressing
- pot de creme
1. Oh, I saw something on Baking with Julia the other day that might be adaptable to your egg yoik overload. Just tried to find the episode blurb, but my pbs station doesn't show me the past.
The "ingredient" of the show was puff pastry. After making the puff pastry, this chef made a savory layered tart. He used a springform pan with high sides. Draped a layer of puff pastry so that it formed like a pie dough. Meanwhile, Julia sauteed onions and garlic, and maybe some other herbs, and then added whipped eggs with some milk. This was cooked very slowly like scrambled eggs until they were just holding together. In another dish, they had cooked spinach which had been wrung of all water. They mentioned that frozen spinach would also work.
First layer at the bottom was half of the egg, then a layer of spinach, then another of the egg, another of the spinach. This was topped with more puff pastry. They crimped the edges of the pastry together and then trimmed the excess. This thing looked wonderful.
It was almost a strata, but not.

There was a thread about a year ago with this exct question and there were loads of great ideas. You may want to do a search on the home cooking board and see if it pops up.
1. Ensaimadas. I make a filipino version, but they are originally from Mallorca, and are sometimes called "Mallorcas"--essentially a brioche paste but make it with all egg yolks, roll into thin rectangles about 4x10", spread with a thin layer of soft butter, roll up like a cigar and then roll in the shape of a cinnamon roll from the outside in and top with grated edam or gouda cheese and bake until golden brown. They work best in 4" molds, but you can also do them freeform on a baking sheet or make big ones in a cake pan. You can dust with powdered sugar if you like when they are done. Have cardiologist on speed dial.

1. re: David A. Goldfarb
do you use yeast? if you do, a little proofing in between the last few stages of makeup can make for an even fluffier ensaimada.
1. re: zorkd
Yes, it's a yeast dough. I usually let the dough rise slowly overnight in the refrigerator to build up a stronger flavor, roll it when cool, and then give it another rising before baking them. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9657794833183287}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '98174', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:TWDXR7NJ2PZTC2GR3UPUEF6VFQYMPHR7', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3c040202-b651-4d2b-a032-5f89a700fb6f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 22, 22, 52, 13), 'WARC-IP-Address': '64.30.228.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:K3GHFZBL7LEWS5AKBC65Y43FLPX4RPWJ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:61145a15-7dda-435c-93d4-d27089e94a7d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/535987', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a6fe87c5-24e8-46e6-8665-8d5283a13a5b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '533', 'url': 'http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/535987', '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': '0.25771355628967285', 'original_id': '023845c5ac9c451d241989c99938e46425b94ac5c3d1058ac07cbce1876fa1e6'} |
NASA preps for seven-year journey to sample a near-Earth asteroid
You can add asteroid retrieval to NASA's growing repertoire of space exploration skills. The space agency last week announced that it is preparing to embark on a seven-year mission to retrieve a piece of an asteroid.
You can add asteroid retrieval to NASA’s growing repertoire of space exploration skills. The space agency last week announced that it is preparing to embark on a seven-year mission to retrieve a piece of an asteroid. It will be NASA’s first mission that will return an asteroid sample for analysis. If all goes as planned, the asteroid chunk will be transported back to earth in 2023 for detailed analysis by researchers at NASA and the University of Arizona.
The mission will be powered by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft. Designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the spacecraft was built from the ground up for asteroid retrieval. It features Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) that uses a reverse vacuum to stir up asteroid dust for collection. The mechanism can collect up to 70 ounces of material in a ring-shaped canister. It also can study the asteroid in situ before sampling using a suite of instrumentation that includes visible-light cameras, infrared spectrometers, an x-ray spectrometer and an active-scanning lidar.
Nasa plans to launch the OSIRIS-REx during the launch window that begins on September 8. The spacecraft will be propelled into space using an Atlas V411 rocket and maneuver towards the Bennu asteroid. The spacecraft will travel up to 509 million miles to intercept the asteroid and will move along with it during sampling. The spacecraft will then return to Earth, traveling a total of 4.4 billion miles in the round trip journey.
When it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, the Sample Return Capsule will hit 27,700 mph, making it the second-fastest man-made object to travel back to earth. Scientist hopes the data collected from the asteroid will provide insight into the formation of the planets as well as help scientists understand the nature or near-Earth asteroids. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'fe2ed624ab6ac9078caedcce9799b57b340616e6549733e3bec14e9bbd203a72'} |
Is there a digital generation gap for e-learning in plastic surgery?
Abstract
Introduction: Some authors have claimed that those plastic surgeons born between 1965 and 1979 (Generation X, or Gen-X) are more technologically-able than those born between 1946 and 1964 (Baby Boomers, or BB). Those born after 1980, which comprise Generation Y (Gen-Y), might be the most technologically-able and most demanding for electronic learning (e-learning) to support their education and training in plastic surgery. These differences might represent a ‘digital generation gap’ and would have practical and financial implications for the development of e-learning.Objectives: The aim of this study was to survey plastic surgeons on their experience and preferences in e-learning in plastic surgery and to establish whether there was a difference between different generations.Design: Online survey (e-survey) of plastic surgeons within the United Kingdom and Ireland.Methods: Six-hundred and twenty-four plastic surgeons were invited by e-mail to complete an e-survey anonymously for their experience of e-learning in plastic surgery, whether they would like access to e-learning and if so, whether this should this be provided nationally, locally, or not at all. By stratifying plastic surgeons into three generations (BB, Gen-X and Gen-Y), the responses between generations were compared using the ¿2 test for linear trend. A p value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: Of the 624 plastic surgeons contacted, 237 plastic surgeons completed the survey (response rate of 38%), but data from two surgeons were excluded. For the remaining 235 plastic surgeons, there was no evidence of statistically significant linear trends between by generation and either experience, access or provision of e-learning.Conclusions: These findings refute the claim that there are differences in the experience of e-learning of plastic surgeons by generation. Furthermore, there is no evidence that there are differences in whether there should be access to e-learning and how e-learning should be provided for different generations of plastic surgeons.

COVID-19 and Real Property Practice: Q&A with Alfredo Casab (Audio File)
By Maximillian (Max) H. Matthies posted 03-30-2020 05:15
Alfredo Casab, from Dawda Mann Mulcahy & Sadler PLC in Bloomfield Hills spoke to John Swift and I about how his practice is responding to COVID-19. You can hear the conversation by clicking the audio player. The transcript of our conversation is below.
John: Hello, this is John Swift.
Max: And this is Max Matthies.
John: We're two of the staff attorneys at ICLE. We're talking to other Michigan attorneys about how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting them and their clients.
Max: We thought it might be helpful to share how our colleagues and their firms are responding to the COVID crisis and provide some insight on how you might do the same.
Alfredo: My name is Alfredo Casab. I'm an attorney at Dawda, Mann, Mulcahy & Sadler, PLC, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. My practice is generally in real estate, corporate, and I do some business litigation.
John: I really appreciate you talking to us today. I guess first off, how are you staying current with everything that's going on, with court closures and all the other changes?
Alfredo: Well, I must say that the courts have been pretty good about sending mass emails to the attorneys that have cases pending in the particular courts. One other way that we're staying current is to check the court’s website to see if they're open or if they're closed. Earlier today, I believe the Michigan Supreme Court issued an order that superseded all local orders. Basically, kind of using common sense here, closing the courthouses for nonessential matters. Criminal matters still have to go forward for constitutional concerns there. Of course, not my area, but that goes first. Obviously, child protective–type services, those are still going on. Those should be going on, right?
John: Have you done any hearings over the phone or anything like that?
Alfredo: I have not. But earlier today, I read an article in the Free Press, … and I actually spoke with an attorney yesterday, [about] certain hearings … being conducted by video. I believe the app is Zoom. I've never conducted one via video conferencing. I've obviously done telephonic hearings at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court or at certain circuit courts and somebody just wasn't available and had to call in for whatever emergency, and the judges are usually pretty lenient on those. So as the technology catches up, I think we're going to see more video conferencing, which will alleviate traffic concerns and whatnot.
John: So on the real property side, I know Greg Gamalski just posted something in the Real Property Section about the register of deeds offices potentially closing and how that's going to impact transactions going forward. Have you heard anything about that? Do you have any thoughts?
Alfredo: Oh, they’ve closed. There are a lot of register of deeds offices that have closed. Actually yesterday afternoon I received an email from a real estate group that one of my colleagues belongs to forwarded to us, that had a list county by county of closures. So most are closed. Some of them are accepting e-recording. But not all. For example, Macomb County is closed and not accepting e-recording. Livingston County is accepting e-recording.… Oakland County is … closed but not accepting e-recordings. So it's going to impact closing because there are certain time frames within which you have to get security instruments recorded. A mortgage, for example, has to be recorded within a certain time frame. Otherwise it opens up to potentially losing priority if there's a bankruptcy filing or if somebody files something ahead of you. So when these register of deeds offices reopen, it could create a little bit of an issue. And remember, Michigan is a race notice state, so filing priority is a big deal. This is definitely a cause for concern.
Max: What about what about other third parties like title offices? Are those going to impact closings as well?
Alfredo: Absolutely. We actually received an email that came from [ATA title agency] for all the major underwriters. And they said they would continue for the foreseeable future to close deals. But at some point in time, they're going to stop. They're actually doing just what we're doing. They're seeing how things develop. And if it looks like the register of deeds offices are going to [be] closed for more than 30 days, and, frankly, I would not be surprised if they are closed for more than 30 days, at least the ones that are already closed, that is certainly going to impact closing. And title insurers will not issue the title insurance policy, which means that a buyer probably isn't going to close. Remember, title insurance is voluntary, but it's extremely recommended. So you can still have your closing. Remember, the recording of the deed is not what transfers title, it's the signing of the deed and the delivery of the deed. However, common practice is [that] you record your deed, and then you get title insurance. So there may be some buyers out there that are comfortable. But I would not be advising most clients or any clients that that's a good idea. And I don't think many other lawyers would either.
John: So do you think from a lending perspective, a lot of people can just push out a closing in a lot of circumstances? But I mean, they might lose a rate lock. Do you think the banks would be willing to extend rates? I guess they’re pretty low now anyway.
Alfredo: Well, yeah. So you've got two different areas right there—you've got the residential market, and I really don't practice much in the residential market myself. But nobody knows what’s going to happen there. I have no idea what the banks are going to do. Whether it's a good business decision or bad business decision, I don't know. And then you've got commercial loans. Banks on the commercial side, they're generally a lot more careful if they're closing. They will not close without title insurance. Which means if you can't get your mortgage recorded, there's no loan, which provides kind of an additional blow to the economy there because we've got all these restaurant closures, bar closures, other public areas, fitness centers, etc., closed. A lot of money isn't getting spent. And then you throw in the additional layer of banks not lending because they can't get their mortgages recorded, it's just another domino. But I think it will absolutely have a massive impact if the register of deeds offices don't open. Or alternatively, I guess you could have a change in the law. But that's I think a little bit more far-fetched.
E-recording has become a fantastic option. So hopefully, if the register of deeds office can maybe even partially staff an office, obviously, they’ve got to make sure that their personnel are going to be safe, because that's of the utmost importance. But if they can partially staff an office and accept e-recording, or set up their personnel to work remotely from home, which I don't know what technology they use, but at our office we can work from home. Hopefully they have the same technical … abilities that we do and can start accepting e-recordings. Again, that would certainly alleviate a lot of issues and anxiety.
Max: How are your clients responding to the closure of the register of deeds and the title insurance issues? What seems to be their biggest concern?
Alfredo: Well, it depends on the type of client, obviously; those that are doing real estate deals, those are pretty much on hold. You can't close a loan. On the other hand … I have one particular client that operates a business that was mandated to be shut down. So their biggest concern is, what are we going to do with our employees? And sadly, the response is, they're going to have to be laid off. There's no revenue coming in; they cannot meet payroll. You can take out a loan, I suppose. But most businesses, or I shouldn’t say most businesses, but a significant number of businesses, perhaps most, are going to choose to not take out loans to cover salaries. Salaries are generally one of, if not the largest expense, of a business, and you rely on the general income—the revenue that comes in from the operation of business—to pay those folks. And it's not just the restaurants and bars that are affected. There are a lot of other businesses. There are schools are that are going to be impacted.
I've got another client that’s a manufacturing facility. They're not closing; they're not ordered to close. And as a matter of fact, I think the government is encouraging factories to try and remain open as much as they can. But they have to take reasonable precautions to protect the employees. So they're implementing spacing rules or hiring extra cleaners to come in and wipe everything down, [and] instituting policies of if you're sick in any way, shape, or form, just stay home.
John: Lastly, do you have any advice for attorneys as far as taking care of themselves both emotionally and physically?
Alfredo: Okay. Emotionally, the first thing I would say is, There will be a tomorrow. There will be. I mean, we don't know what it's going to look like, but you know 2008 wasn't really that long ago. And honestly, you know that 2008 to 2012 growth malaise that we suffered. Honestly, I never thought I'd see anything like it in my lifetime again, because usually you can get one massive downturn every maybe 20, 30 years. I think we're certainly going to be seeing another one. This is incredible. But I remember August 1, 2008, Bear Stearns went down. A couple of the other big brokerage houses in New York went down, and everybody thought, Oh,w my gosh, the world is ending. It certainly changed. And before that there was 9/11/2001. Life changes, but there is always a tomorrow. Our clients are going to need our advice. They are going to need us to remain objective. They're going to need us to make sure that we're staying current on the law, which is changing almost every minute with new executive orders coming down. All I say is look forward to tomorrow. I don't know what it's going to look like, but there will be a tomorrow.
John: That’s good advice. Thank you so much, Fredo. This has been really helpful, and I appreciate you being accommodating and flexible with us.

Sacred Space
In church history class, one of my professors called attention to this idea he called “sacred space”. When studying religion, we needed to consider the power of physical space, particularly when persons attributed special qualities in certain geographic locations. To be sure, we all called to mind steeples and temples, but he reminded us of war memorials, fountains, and our childhood homes. Walls not only create rooms, but they also have inherent meanings.
There’s something about the four walls of an exam room that not only create a private space but somehow shrink a patient down at least fifty percent and make me feel extremely vulnerable. I’ve tried every technique I can think of: (1) bring a friend with you to the appointment, (2) listen to music, (3) read a book, (4) grade papers, (5) plan crafts or projects, (6) write journal entries, (7) look at whatever is scattered in the exam room, (8) listen to all the crazy noises outside, (9) stare at all the posters on the wall and try not to be creeped out, and so forth.
Then, there’s a knock. The door opens. In comes the wizard doctor with his white coat. Whatever I’m doing, I quickly put away. I try to be really still like Sara Crewe’s doll when the door opens. He says, “Hello. I’m the doctor. Tell me about yourself.”
How should I address the king doctor? How do I avoid wasting his invaluable time? Which part does he want to know?
And it becomes so easy to forget that I’m the one seeking information. I’m the one in pain. I’m the one who has to live with the consequences of this meeting. I’m the one paying for it. That’s why he asks me to speak.

Underground Film in the GDR
Little Angel
When we talk of East German films, we are mostly talking about the films of DEFA, the GDR’s state-owned motion picture production company, and, to a lesser extent, the made-for-TV films from DFF. All other feature films shown in East German cinemas came from other countries, with Russia at the top of the list. If you wanted to be a filmmaker, the paths were limited, and if the authorities decided you weren’t filmmaker material, you weren’t likely to get into film school.
But there were people making movies outside of the system, sometimes at great personal peril. These films weren’t shown in movie theaters. They had to rely on state-sanctioned amateur film circles, or limit screenings to immediate friends. Attempts to screen these films outside of such confines were met with stiff resistance in some cases and prosecution in others. An offense might result in an apartment search in Jena, but a fine in East Berlin.
As noted elsewhere on this blog, East Germany was in a constant fight with itself over what was “acceptable” artistic expression. After the Wall went up, the state was eager to show their “Antifaschistischer Schutzwall” (anti-fascist barrier) was meant to help preserve freedom in East Germany and creative types were allowed to make films that really challenged the status quo. Four years later, the authorities came down hard on anything too creative at the notorious 11th Plenum. When Honecker came to power, he wanted to show that he was not Ulbricht and the creative juices were allowed to flow again, albeit not with the the same freedom of expression we saw in the early sixties (see The Dove on the Roof). Then in 1976, the authorities reached yet another of their limits of tolerance. Wolf Biermann was exiled and an ordinance was passed that made it illegal to screen films that weren’t officially sanctioned. It was still okay to show films in the privacy of one’s own home, or within the confines of a film group, but as soon as you tried to show it publicly without permission, you were guilty of sedition.
The man largely held responsible for these policies was Kurt Hager. Hager held many posts in the government, but it was in his roles as the chief ideologue and person in charge of all cultural matters that he had the greatest impact on the creative arts. His writings on dialectical materialism and Marxist-Leninist philosophy were used as guidebooks for the SED, and his name was used as a mantra by club owners not willing to provide performance space for aspiring filmmakers and other creative types. He is probably best known in the west as the man who banned Udo Lindenberg from performing in East Germany.
As with underground films in other countries, the films from East Germany were often quite abstract. Most weren’t overtly political, but they represented a level of anarchy that the authorities frowned upon. Everyone who took this path to make films could be pretty sure they’d wind up with a file dedicated to them in the Stasi headquarters.
The biggest trick in making films in East Germany was obtaining the equipment. Most people were limited to using 8mm and Super-8 cameras. A few lucky souls had 16mm cameras, but only DEFA and the Stasi had anything bigger. A popular choice for the underground filmmakers was the Russian-made Quarz camera, and in particular, the Quarz DS8-3, made by Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works (KMZ) near Moscow. Like all super-8 cameras, the Quarz was intended primarily for home movies, but it had enough features to make it particularly useful to aspiring filmmakers. It had a zoom lens, a trigger grip, variable frame rates—including one frame at a time, for animation—and a solar-powered selenium light meter. As a bonus, if you have a screwdriver handy, you could create in-camera dissolves and double exposures. It used a hand crank so it required no batteries, but this did limit the length of time one could shoot continuously to about twenty seconds.
As one might expect, most of these efforts at creative filmmaking are lost to the sands of time, but a few managed to survive past the Wende and are available on a DVD titled Gegenbilder – DDR-Film im Untergrund (Counter-images – East German Film in the Underground). It is primarily these films that I will be discussing here. Most of the efforts to save the underground films of the GDR are thanks to filmmaker and historian Dr. Claus Löser, the founder of ex.oriente.lux, an archive dedicated to preserving such films. Dr. Löser also wrote the booklet that comes with the DVD. His help also was invaluable in putting this article together.
action, situation
The DVD gets off to an interesting start with Here Comes the Sun (listed on the DVD as action, situation) by Helge Leiberg. In this film, simple shapes of various colors dance across the film, overlaying and sometimes obscuring the images behind them. The filmmaker painstakingly painted kinetic shapes on nearly every frame of film with the help of a magnifying loupe—an impressive task, especially considering he was working with the tiny Super-8 format. Leiberg has continued to explore with other art forms, most notably dance, where he draws pictures over the dancers using an overhead projector.
Leiberg’s film is followed by Gino Hahnemann’s September, September. Hahnemann’s film is more overtly subversive than Leiberg’s. In it, Hahnemann recites a 25-word poem over a variety of images, from old film clips, to performance art, to Jean-Luc Godard. The poem is repeated several times, each time with a different vocal interpretation, from angry or frightened, whispered and screamed. Given this fascination with words, it is small wonder that much of Hahnemann’s post Wende career was dedicated to writing and translating poetry.
The next filmmaker, Cornelia Schleime, is well-known in the west as a painter. Schleime’s film, Unter weißen Tüchern (Draped in White), is equal parts experimental filmmaking and a chronicle of a performance piece she did involving people tapped like mummies to the wall of an empty room. It is easy enough to interpret the piece as a reflection on the state of personal freedom in the GDR. As the lead singer in the Ostpunk band, Zwitschermaschine, as well as an experimental artist, Schleime was someone the Stasi watched very closely. She found out years later just how close, when it was revealed that her bandmate, Sacha Anderson, was an IM (Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter—a civilian informant for the Stasi). Many of her pieces were confiscated before she left the country in 1984. She has gone on the become a highly successful artist in unified Germany, and is best known for her irreverent paintings of Pope John II and for a series of portraits of suspiciously sexy nuns. Several books by her and about her have been published; some in German and in English.
After three aggressively abstract films, the action shifts to a seemingly more gentle form of storytelling, but don’t be fooled. Cornelia Klauß’s Samuel is every bit as subversive as the previous three, and much more heartbreaking. It is one of the few films on the DVD that has something approaching a storyline. The action takes place on a train platform, where a young boy runs around trying to attract the attention of the adults who stand disconnected from their environment and from one another. The boy is caught and dressed as an adult, and becomes as unresponsive to the world as the adults that surround him. This is the first film in the series that feels like it was made by someone more interested in filmmaking than in art-for-art’s-sake. It’s no surprise, then, that Cornelia Klauß has continued to work in film, primarily documentaries, including a short film about the Super-8 scene in East Germany that is included on this DVD.
[Note: Here is a link to a screening of the film, complete with the sound of the projector and the audience. It’s probably the closest of any the YouTube videos linked here to what it feels like to watch films like this in an actual underground setting.
Via Lewandowsky’s Report brings the DVD back to the abstract with a film that combines a static-filled report of surveillance with old film footage while a woman repeatedly takes her blouse off and massages her breasts. This is interspersed with a mad jumble of disparate images all overlaid with rhythmic, experimental, fuzz-guitar rock reminiscent of early Chrome. Like Cornelia Schleime, Lewandowsky studied art in school in Dresden, is primarily known as a visual artist. Also like Schleime, he has presented work at MoMA’s PS1 space in New York City, but unlike her, he has not restricted his post-Wende artwork to one medium, preferring to combine several media, including sound and visuals in his work.
Film is about images, and some of the most disturbing appear in Thomas Frydetzki’s Little Angel (Engelchen). It starts innocently enough with a kaleidoscope of light and shadows, but soon the film becomes a catalog of grotesqueries as it shifts from a woman reading a forensic pathology book, to a man killing and skinning a rabbit, to a very strange young woman eating a sausage and purchasing a skull. this is an odd little film—like a home movie by David Lynch. It contains equal dollops of humor and horror, and except for the fact that it’s missing the ironic references to American exploitation movies, it would fit comfortably into Nick Zedd’s Cinema of Transgression. Frydetzki brought the same shock tactics to the feature film, Max und Moritz Reloaded, which takes Wilhelm Busch cartoon brats and places them in modern Hamburg. Critics were appalled by the politically incorrect humor in that film (although the original stories aren’t exactly polite), and Frydetzki has not made a feature film since. He continues to work in film, primarily as a writer.
Claus Löser’s film, Nekrolog, begs to be interpreted, with its thread of a story, beginning with a body falling from a building. Is this homicide or suicide? Who is this person? Made in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) in 1985, Nekrolog is a moody piece of surrealism featuring a dissonant soundtrack that might described as No Wave Krautrock. Shot in black-and-white, the film is highly cinematic and compelling. As previously mentioned, Löser has been more responsible than anyone for the preservation of the underground films of the GDR. Besides founding the ex.oriente.lux film archives, he is a co-founder of the Brotfabrik (literally, “bread factory”) in Berlin. The Brotfabrik hosts both gallery shows and film screenings.
7×7 Facts About the Life of the Poet Tohm di Roes in Present Climes seems to be intentionally designed to shock and annoy. If that is true, it partially succeeds. The music, in keeping with the visual information is dissonant and aggressive, a cross between seventies jazz-rock, Masonna, and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. The film purports to be about the filmmaker himself, but it more of an exploration of the concept of reinventing oneself outside of the bounds of acceptable society. If the film is any indication, Tohm di Roes—the pen name for Thomas Roesler—clearly wasn’t a good fit with East German society. Small wonder, then, that he immigrated to West Berlin in 1986. As the title implies, the film is a series of vignettes of the filmmaker doing various things in his apartment and on the street. The film starts innocently enough with di Roes staring up at a skull perched atop his head, but as it moves along, the imagery gets more and more shocking. Here’s di Roes, dancing manically, massaging a woman’s breasts, showing his ass in repeated zoom shots, and so on. The film ends, almost logically, with di Roes urinating on food and then eating it. After what came before, it seems like the only thing left to do.
More than any other film on the DVD, this one is hard for someone from the west to fully appreciate. Had it been made in the west, it would have been yet another forgettable example of an art student trying to shock us, but considering when and where it was made, it’s a brave film, and almost certainly left the audiences in East Germany aghast. In Cornelia Klauß’s documentary included on the disc, di Roes cites a Stasi report which describes people screaming and fainting at the screening.
After di Roes’s ode to shock, Thomas Werner’s send-up of German culture, Hallo Berlin! is a welcome change of pace. Werner combines home movie visuals with German lessons and organ music à la The Three Suns or Joe Vento. This is very much a product of the eighties, with its ironic visuals of sexual aggression overlaid with bland German 101 lessons. Werner was a highly active figure on the underground scene in the eighties, From 1987 to 1989, he published Koma Kino, a magazine of essays about the Super-8 underground in East Germany. He is trained as a silkscreen painter, but often works in various other media including photography and film and lives and works in Berlin.
Konrad! Sprach di Frau Mama
The DVD saves the best for last, with Ramona Köppel-Welsh’s powerful film, Konrad! The Mother Said… (Konrad! Sprach di Frau Mama…). The film is helped immensely by Art Zoyd’s dramatic “Les Portes Du Futur.” Amazingly, of all the films on this DVD, this was the one that caused the Stasi the most consternation. It includes brief glimpses of the Berlin Wall, which was strictly forbidden, and it’s scenes of people running seemed to suggest (at least to the authorities) that action is better than reaction.
Ramona Köppel-Welsh was an active figure on the art scene in east Germany. She was a member of Medea, an underground theater group that performed plays combining music and film. She started making films when she asked a friend in the West to send her a camera. She meant a still camera, but her friend sent her a Super-8 camera. Konrad! The Mother Said… was her first film. It was edited using scissors and clear tape because she didn’t have a editing table.
Like many of the other filmmakers featured here, Köppel-Welsh eventually decided it was time to leave the GDR, and ended up in the West a week before the wall came down. From 1994, until 1997, she—along with her fellow East German, Pamela Homann, and the West German filmmaker, Dagie Brundert—ran Frei Berlin Ischen, a group that promoted public screenings of Super-8 underground films in Berlin.
An interesting aspect of this collection is how many of the filmmakers were involved in other art forms. Claus Löser, Helge Leiberg, Tohm di Roes, and Cornelia Schleime all were members of bands at some point. Most were mixed media artists as well. This was no accident. Your odds of getting a film made were substantially improved if you had some bona fides as an actual artist. A filmmaker who was only a filmmaker and wanted to make films that challenged the state was doomed from the get-go. This is not to say that these filmmakers were only dabbling in these other art forms, however; many have gone on to become successful artists in unified Germany.
As mentioned earlier, Cornelia Klauß’s short documentary, The Subversive Camera (Die Subversiv Kamera), is included on the DVD. While the documentary does contain interviews with some of the filmmakers presented here, the primary source for information in it comes from Thomas Frick, whose work does not appear on this DVD. Scenes from Frick’s films Der Ausflug ins Gebirge (Excursion into the Mountains), Massaker (Massacre), and Rotkäppchen (Little Red Riding Hood) show a filmmaker who, while definitely experimental, was working from a more structured approach than most of his contemporaries. Small wonder, then, that Frick continues to work in film and television, and sees Hollywood as a worthy goal. It is Frick who gives us the classic example of the Stasi’s astoundingly pervasive use of IMs, when he tells of opening his Stasi file after the Wende to discover that his girlfriend was the person they enlisted to spy on him.
Also appearing in the documentary, but not in the collection, is Mario Achsnick, along with scenes from his films Kino (Cinema), Ein braves Pferd stirbt in den Sielen (A Good Horse Dies in the Ditch), Ein Motorrad stürtzt plärrend seinen Lichtfleck nach (A Motorcycle Roars Toward its Speck of Light), and Was sagt Cho-Ba-Kov? (What’s Cho-Ba-Kov Saying?). As with the other filmmakers on this DVD, Achsnick avoids overtly political statements, but still manages to sneak some interesting things into his movies. The scene in Ein braves Pferd featuring a woman reacting to the realization that she is being filmed brings to mind the issue of state surveillance, and I have to wonder how the authorities interpreted the scene in Ein Motorrad stürtzt of the couple snogging and drinking Coca-Cola at the same time.
A third filmmaker who also appears in the documentary but not in the collection of films on the DVD is Christine Schlegel, Her films, Zustande – Mikado (Condition – Mikado), Treibhaus (Hothouse), and Ein Abendmahl (An Evening Meal) are shown in excerpts. Of the filmmakers interviewed here, Ms. Schlegel has the most interesting things to say about the perceptual differences between the East German and western audiences. Her film Ein Abendmahl, features a scene in which a woman gives birth to a cabbage. The afterbirth is a piece of red cloth that a man pulls out and waves above the exhausted woman’s head. In the west, this scene was interpreted in feminist terms, as menstrual blood. Schlegel, on the other hand, was thinking in terms of communism.
Naturally, many of the filmmakers featured on this DVD also appear in Ms. Klauß’s documentary, including Helge Leiberg, Tohm di Roes, Claus Löser, Cornelia Schleime, and Ramona Köppel-Welsh. The documentary also includes clips from other films by these filmmakers, including scenes from Cornelia Schleime’s 1983 film, Das Nierenbett (The Kidney Bean), which uses an editing style similar to Brion Gysin’s cup-up technique; and Helge Leiberg’s exploration of African imagery, Ferne Gegenden (Faraway Places). In fact, the documentary contains enough new material to provide a convincing argument for the release of a second DVD.
[Note: Lutz Dammbeck’s Hommage à La Sarraz, which appeared on the VHS version of this compilation, was removed by the artist’s request. It is, as of this writing, available for viewing on YouTube.]

INDEPENDENCE DAY HALL
The "REN & STIMPY SHOW" was a short-lived cartoon. Its founder, John Kricfalusi targeted the humor for teens and young adults. The show enjoyed a great success for two years until the network "stole" the rights from him. Then without Kricfalusi's creative genius, the network produced their own ersatz version. Driven by the it's early reputation the show remained popular but viewers noticed a drop in quality. Then within two years, the show was off the air. One of the bright spots throughout the run was Billy West, the voice of Stimpy.
Billy West molded Stimpy's voice from his impression of Larry Fine from the "THREE STOOGES." Apparently Mr. West is the only person in the world who does a decent Larry...of course, there probably isn't much of a call for Larry Fine impersonators anyway. Therefore on our family visit with Andrew's friend Vinnie last week to Philadelphia, I was surprised to see a huge (and not aesthetically beautiful) wall moral of Larry Fine over Jon's Bar & Grill on South Street. Later when we wanted lunch, somehow Larry lured us back. The back of the menu included Larry's biography and we were surprised that he had actually lived in the building that the restaurant/bar now occupied. Oh, yeah in case you're curious...and PLEASE pardon the pun...the food was "FINE."
From there, we went to the Franklin Institute to see the King Tut Exhibit. They must have extremely long waits at times, because they had snaky railings set-up like at amusement parks. Our time slot was 5:30PM and luckily we walked past the railings directly to a holding area. At first it seemed like we would have a long wait but they allow 60 people in every three minutes. Our wait was about ten minutes.
Before going inside, a museum representative gives a short spiel on patron etiquette as well as some do's and don'ts . That's followed by a two-minute film narrated by Omar Shariff that gives a brief history of what you are about to see.
The exhibit is divided into five rooms. The crowds are small enough that if you wanted to see everything up close, the wait, if any was short. Also each item had a small plaque to read and this information was repeated in big print at the top and all sides of the individual showcases.
On the funny side, in the first room, a woman with a one-year old in her arm was dragging a whining three-year old along.
I was standing next to them when she suddenly bent down, stuck her finger in the tike's face and said, "You're NOT ruining this for me!" When the kid tried to rebut she interrupted, "When I take you to Disneyworld I don't ruin it for you, do I?"
I kept an eye on them and the boy never whined again.
In comparison to when I saw King Tut at the New York Museum of Natural History in 1978, the crowd was controlled much better this time around. I also think there was a lot more to see and the time restrictions in each room were more relaxed.
There were minor flaws in the presentation but I won't mention them because I wouldn't want to discourage any of my readers from attending.
On the way out, photography was permitted in the gift shop. They had tons of crap to buy to help you recall the memories of the trip but you should always remember, one picture is worth a thousand words.
It should be noted that the ticket price also includes the regular museum. If you've never been to the Franklin Institute, its great for all ages. We parked easily at a meter about a block away...so bring plenty of quarters.
After we left, Andrew's friend wanted to see (as he called it) Independence DAY Hall. Being Philadelphia illiterate, I took the loooong way to get there but was able to come through on my promise. More importantly, through my guidance, Vinnie has dropped the word DAY.

Bartlett on Supply-Side Economics, Continued
Income Variability... The Macroeconomic Reversal...
Three days ago I posted on part of Bruce Bartlett's excellent chapter, "The Rise and Fall of Supply-Side Economics," in his book, The New American Economy. I promised to get to the fall part.
First, though, there's more interesting content on the "rise" that gives context to the "fall" part.
On deadweight loss from the the tax system, he cites work by Marty Feldstein and Ian Parry that finds a 30+ percent deadweight loss.
On taxation more generally, he documents the increasing consensus among tax economists in favor of lower marginal tax rates, elimination of special tax provisions that bias investment decisions, lower or zero taxes on capital, and a shift toward taxing consumption. My Hoover colleague and friend Ken Judd, a tax economist who's a registered Democrat, told me that he was at a meeting of tax economists at the Treasury which many of the leading tax economists in the country attended, and you couldn't tell from people's comments whether they had an R or a D after their name. Bartlett also quotes my favorite quote from Bob Lucas on the subject:
Even the Laffer curve, which Paul Samuelson ridiculed, has become "a generally accepted analytical device." Bartlett also points to studies by the IMF confirming its relevance for tax rates on incomes and on trade.
There's now agreement that hours worked are more responsive to marginal tax rates than economists used to think. Bartlett doesn't mention this but this is especially true for married women, who tend to make all-or-nothing decisions about hours worked for pay.
Bartlett even quotes Paul Krugman in 1995 pointing out that the idea of "dynamic scoring," that is, taking account of the effect of changes in tax rates on the size of the base being taxed, is reasonable.
The consensus on the damage done by high marginal tax rates even carries over to politicians and policy makers. As I put it in a 1989 article, "Are We All Supply-Siders Now?" in Contemporary Policy Issues, "a supply-side revolution has occurred in tax policymakers' thinking."
In the footnote in which he backs his claim that the Laffer curve is a generally accepted analytical device, he quotes work from Austin Goolsbee, now with the Obama administration. But I seem to recall Goolsbee, in a CNBC interview during the 2008 presidential campaign, pooh-poohing the negative effects of Obama's proposed increase in marginal tax rates.
Now to the fall of supply-side economics. Bartlett's case is two-fold. And half of it makes sense.
The part of it that makes sense is his argument that supply-side economics is so much a part of mainstream thought that it doesn't need to be thought of as a separate school of thought. Although he doesn't put it in these words, my words for his thought are, "Supply-siders who continue to push the term are simply engaging in product differentiation and trying to pick fights instead of taking yes for an answer."
The part that doesn't make sense is his example of George W. Bush as a person who oversold supply-side economics. Bartlett's own facts show that Bush missed the fundamental insight about supply-side economics, which is the importance of getting marginal rates down. As Bartlett notes, "Bush himself was responsible for watering down the supply-side elements." Doubling the child credit, in particular, is the opposite of a supply-side policy. Bartlett writes, correctly, "the vast bulk of Bush's tax cuts in dollar terms involved rebates and tax credits that had no supply-side effects whatsoever."
I agree with Bruce that Bush watered down supply-side economics and falsely claimed both that his tax cuts were mainly supply-side and that they would increase revenues. But all that means is that Bush was a lousy exemplar and a charlatan. That's hardly an argument against supply-side economics. To take an example not entirely at random, if a new president is elected who says that he wants to get the U.S. out of Iraq, and then fails to do so, is that an argument that getting out of Iraq is a bad idea?

Just as Christina Romer has changed her view on the multiplier effect. She went to publishing papers suggesting a 7% multiplier to promoting a 30-50% multiplier.
At least with Bush, the advisers, like Mankiw, told one story before, during, and after their stints in the White House.
AaronG writes:
Thanks for the posts on Bartlett's book. I hope you'll do a few more. I have a few questions/quibbles about this one:
1. You say Paul Samuelson ridiculed the Laffer curve. Could you elaborate on that? Surely he would agree that a 0% marginal tax rate and a 100% marginal tax rate would generate the same revenue except over the very short term. Since intermediate rates empircally generate positive revenue, there have to be portions of the tax rate-tax revenue curve with negative slope. Was he disputing the size of the dead-weight losses? Did he believe that even at the 70% marginal rates of the 70s that the wealthy would have only a weak dynamic response to changing tax rates?
2. You talk about Bush watering down supply side economics with his tax rebates and credits. I don't remember those policies being sold using supply-side arguments. The rebates especially, in my recollection, were sold more on Keynesian arguments.
3. Your analogy to Barack Obama and the Iraq war policy doesn't seem very strong. The difference in Obama the candidate's and Obama the president's stance on the war doesn't require that Obama the candidate was a liar. It seems more likely that Barack the president got more information that led him (like most of the other insiders) to believe that pulling American troops out of Iraq at this point would be more damaging that keeping them there. As outsiders, we will never be sure whether Obama the candidate was a liar or naive unless he admits to being a liar. In your story, Bush must have been lying if he sold his tax policies on supply-side grounds.
Norman Pfyster writes:
I would agree with Aaron that your Obama-Iraq analogy doesn't carry the weight you want it to; it's at least as reasonable to see the gap between pre-office and in-office positions as evidence that the pre-office position was in fact wrong. You can, of course, reconcile the two positions by noting that with no Americans dying in Iraq, the cost side of the analysis to stay has decreased from previous time periods.
John Thacker writes:
Bruce Bartlett has, I'm afraid, let politics and his private opinions distort his views. I say this because of his loud but incorrect insistence to me that no Democrats voted for Medicare Part D.
What's worse, he started out (correctly, in my view) attacking Bush and Republicans for flaws in Medicare Part D, and then attacked Republicans recently for not voting for Obamacare. In the latter case, he used exactly the same arguments that Bush, Frum, and other Administration types used in pushing Medicare Part D (largely the "if you don't get behind this and make it slightly better, something worse will pass.")
Doc Merlin writes:
Macroeconomic orthodoxy follows political power, now the new boss (and congress since 2006) isn't a supply sider, this the supply siders are out.
mulp writes:
Well, we know from Reagan to Clinton to Bush that tax rates are not "over the Laffer hump" because Clinton's tax hikes increased tax revenue from Reagan's, and Bush's tax cuts reduced tax revenues.
I am still waiting for the Bush tax cuts which did cut marginal rates, to create jobs and a better economy relative to the higher Clinton marginal rates.
And as short term capital gains affects only speculators - capitalists accumulate productive capital to reap the returns - the reduced capital gains tax rates in 1997 and under Bush did have the supply side effect of increasing the pump and dump asset price inflation. Spurred on by the tax exemptions on interest, plus the low tax rates for hedge funds to seek capital gains for highly leveraged high risk investments.
Give the high marginal rates on labor compared to the lower rates on pump and dump, it should be no surprise that the decade after 1997 was marked by reduced labor and increased pump and dump.
As a rough measure, here are the employment-population rations and Federal tax revenues for the Clinton and Bush years side by side:
61.5% 17.32% 64.3% 19.36%
62.1% 17.77% 62.8% 17.42%
63.1% 18.23% 62.4% 16.00%
63.0% 18.54% 62.2% 15.84%
63.6% 18.96% 62.4% 17.04%
64.0% 19.58% 63.1% 17.97%
64.2% 19.54% 63.4% 18.24%
64.6% 20.35% 62.7% 17.48%
The Clinton tax hikes in 1993 (on top of the Bush 1990 tax hikes) both increased employment and tax revenue, while the Bush tax cut after tax cut after tax cut after tax cut reduced tax revenue and employment.
And the economy isn't doing so well with the real marginal rates low for so many, low for the low income workers, and low for the high income earners who pay lower tax rates than middle and upper income wage earners who pay the highest tax rates. But their tax rates are lower now than when Clinton was president and more people were employed.
Steve P writes:
Aren't you neglecting the huge tax cut during the Clinton years that took the form of NAFTA? I'm not sure that Clinton was a net tax raiser as you are implying.
Charlie writes:
From Henderson article:
"x percent cut in tax rates walkthrough its effect on the incentive to work, to save and invest, and to avoid and evade taxes-lead to much less than an x percent cut, and perhaps even to an increase, in tax revenues."
I haven't read the book, but I heard Bartlett speak in 2005 at a Heritage forum for staffers on the hill. He seemed to think a "supply-sider" at the time was someone who emphasized that tax cuts pay for themselves against all evidence. Whereas, he (and Mankiw) typically throw out the number 2 for 1. Meaning at current rates, for a cut of $1 in taxes the gov't needs to cut spending 66 cents to not effect the budget.
Bartlett was pretty worried about budget deficits at the time, so much so that the other two speakers teased him afterwards about how they were just happy he didn't call for higher taxes. He didn't think much of tax cuts that weren't accompanied by spending cuts. He struck me as a thoughtful and principled rather than partisan economist. Of course, this got him in trouble with the right and he lost his job at NCPA not long after. Se la vie.
Russell Rousseau writes:
Not a soul would have argued with Bush about his tax cuts for the wealthy not being SS tax cuts at the time. But in retrospect, what doesn't works can always be blamed as not being consistent with SS economics.
No, sorry Mr. Henderson, Bush tried the theory out and it failed dismally. It's going to be a long time before any government gets to try it out again. Now it time to move on and try some more socially responsible approaches.

Q:
Function unwilling to calculate results, instead assigns/leaves variables NaN
I'm not able to make function trajgen() to calculate x and y and after three days put in trying I still can't find the solution. The whole program is over 200 lines so I'll cross my fingers you to find something false in the following 'problematic' function. :)
Take a look...
function trajgen(){
$(".reddot").remove();
x=xo;
y=yo;
$(".reddot").css({"top": y, "left": x});
isin=true;
while(isin==true){
x = xo + v0*Math.cos(angle)*time;
y = yo + v0*Math.sin(angle)*time - 0.5*g*Math.pow(time,2);
alert("x= "+x);
alert("y= "+y);
$("#frames").append('<div class = "reddot" style = "top: '+ y + 'px; left: '+ x +'px;"><img src="red.png" height="10" width="10"></div>');
time+=1;
isin=inchecker();
}
return;
}
function inchecker(){
if(y<Dy||y>Ay||x<Dx||x>Bx){
isin = false;
return isin;
}
isin = true;
return isin;
}
Now, when I alert x and y this thing returns me NaNs (i know what it means), for the both coordinates. Another interesting aspect is that function inchecker doesn't stop the buggy reddot appending after they get out of the div I'm using as a element where to draw my trajectory. Instead of getting parabolic arc I get infinitely vertically clonning/appending red points. All other variables work properly, x, y, xo, yo, speed, time... and so on are globals. Xo and yo I get as (0;0) from where to launch the projectile and I found out that all other variables work well, the only problem is with those x and y which I haven't used anywhere else so far. I assigned them with zeros but by now this doesn't change the unwillingness of my script to calculate x and y. #frames is the div where all those things happen. Please, help me and thanks in advance.
A:
At the line where you compute x and y, either angle, v0, xo, or vo is null or not a number.
run a debugger and step through those lines, and check the values in place.

Inter-response interference contributes to the sequencing deficit in frontal lobe lesions.
In this study we investigated the contribution of inter-response interference to the sequencing deficit in frontal lobe lesions. We examined inter-response interference in choice sequences through the reduction in inter-response interval produced by stimulus preview when compared with sequences performed without preview. If frontal lobe lesions result in a stronger inter-response interference, the facilitative effect of preview on inter-response interval should be attenuated. We compared nine patients with a frontal excision with nine patients with a temporal excision and nine controls in a task requiring rapid keypress responses to each of five letters in a sequence. In the no-preview condition, the five letters were presented one at a time, immediately following the previous response. In the preview condition, the five letters were presented simultaneously before the response sequence. Patients with a frontal lesion showed slower response times than the other groups. In normal subjects and patients with a temporal lesion, stimulus preview produced the expected reduction of inter-response time and the slowing of sequence initiation. In frontal lesions, however, preview did not reduce inter-response time and exacerbated the slowing of sequence initiation. The results indicate that patients with a frontal lobe lesion show increased interference between adjacent responses as well as a sequence initiation problem. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '56078aa6df03998b651da6186a98b793391a6c6e64beac43e340c430674d2892'} |

GPS Leads To A Generation Unable to Read Maps and An Inevitable Canadian Invasion
by Kris on 5/1/2007 (0)
Easy, yes. Innocent, no.
Use of Global Positioning System (GPS) has spread faster across the United States than a case of herpies at a Kevin Federline convention. Most people have looked only at the positives of GPS: the ease of getting direction, the ability to chart waypoints, knowing exactly where you are to an 1/8th of an inch. Few have stopped to consider that it could lead to our enslavement by Canadians.
Growing up as a youth in America, one of my fondest childhood memories was Map Day, or as the government likes to call it, Tuesday. Each Tuesday, our class would spend literally minutes going over how to read maps. I learned such important facts such as North is up and South is down, why streets are far superior to avenues, and why the concept of delivery pizza in thirty minutes or less was never going to last.
Over the years, I have found my ability to read maps to be incredibly helpful. Whether it was finding a raging kegger, visiting a long lost friend at a homeless shelter, or navigating the streets (and sometimes sidewalks) of Liberty City in a stolen car that we all knew was really supposed to be a Mustang, I never could have done it without my intricate knowledge of maps, streets, and directions. When I stop and think about all the road trips I have made, it is scary to think where I could have ended up had I not been able to follow a map. I could be in Cleveland, Ohio right now!
GPS was invented in the mid-1990's by Canadian scientist/Eskimo George Peter Shore as a method to track the numerous polar bears in the area that had a tendency to eat George's friends. Or so the public believed. In reality, the GPS was invented for a much more sinister plot that will be revealed for the first time ever three paragraphs from now.
Whatever the circumstances behind it's creation, GPS use took off in America and rendered the common map obsolete. Few schools these days are teaching children how to read maps or even follow a simple series of turns, merges, and road construction detours. Most children today just think they can jump in a car, say "Computer, take me to iHop" and directions will be magically spilled out to them like syrup on top of sweet lady pancake. But what happens when GPS isn't there to hold their hands?
"If current educational trends continue, in ten years, a GPS outage of widespread scale could lead to nationwide pandemonium," said leading educational researcher John Spock. "Those who cannot read a map would be driving the wrong way down streets, driving off raised highways, and stopping on the shoulder of the road even when it wasn't an emergency. Worse still, planes, helicopters, boats, and flying cars could be crashing into mountains everywhere. It would be the biggest disaster since Battlefield: Earth on Ice."
Such widespread destruction would bring nationwide transportation to a grinding halt. Goods couldn't be moved, people couldn't get to their offices, and stripper poles would be vacant. In short, America's economy would be destroyed. With no workers and no goods to sell, it would be only a matter of days before we all reverted back to barbaric tactics like pillaging, plundering, and whatever it is that Dick Chaney does on his off time. And that would open the door wide open for the Canadian takeover for which GPS was created to facilitate. Prepare yourselves now Americans, because unless we start teaching our children to read maps today, we are all looking at a future of being ruled by the iron fist of Dudley Do-Right and his maple leaf loving brethren.

Q:
initializing a struct containing a slice of structs in golang
I have a struct that I want to initialize with a slice of structs in golang, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a more efficient version of appending every newly generated struct to the slice:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"math/rand"
)
type LuckyNumber struct {
number int
}
type Person struct {
lucky_numbers []LuckyNumber
}
func main() {
count_of_lucky_nums := 10
// START OF SECTION I WANT TO OPTIMIZE
var tmp []LuckyNumber
for i := 0; i < count_of_lucky_nums; i++ {
tmp = append(tmp, LuckyNumber{rand.Intn(100)})
}
a := Person{tmp}
// END OF SECTION I WANT TO OPTIMIZE
fmt.Println(a)
}
A:
You can use make() to allocate the slice in "full-size", and then use a for range to iterate over it and fill the numbers:
tmp := make([]LuckyNumber, 10)
for i := range tmp {
tmp[i].number = rand.Intn(100)
}
a := Person{tmp}
fmt.Println(a)
Try it on the Go Playground.
Note that inside the for I did not create new "instances" of the LuckyNumber struct, because the slice already contains them; because the slice is not a slice of pointers. So inside the for loop all we need to do is just use the struct value designated by the index expression tmp[i].
A:
You can use make() the way icza proposes, you can also use it this way:
tmp := make([]LuckyNumber, 0, countOfLuckyNums)
for i := 0; i < countOfLuckyNums; i++ {
tmp = append(tmp, LuckyNumber{rand.Intn(100)})
}
a := Person{tmp}
fmt.Println(a)
This way, you don't have to allocate memory for tmp several times: you just do it once, when calling make. But, contrary to the version where you would call make([]LuckyNumber, countOfLuckyNums), here, tmp only contains initialized values, not uninitialized, zeroed values.

For decades the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has eluded well-intentioned peacemakers. Diplomats have talked, shaken hands, snapped photos — and returned home from summits with strikingly little to show for their efforts.
Meanwhile, the occupation of Palestinian territories grew more restrictive. Israel's colonies developed into towns and small cities as Palestinians were penned into smaller and smaller spaces. While diplomats shuffled from Madrid to Oslo to Wye River, from Camp David to Taba to Annapolis and resort towns in between, the illegal colonies expanded. And the window for two states closed.
Palestine and Israel are two parts of the same country — something those who have not been to the region may find hard to imagine. The area of Mandate Palestine — that's Israel, the West Bank and Gaza — is about the size of New Jersey.
The country is so small that Palestinians on the hilly West Bank can view the Israeli coastline from their homes (never mind that restrictions on Palestinian movement have prevented the vast majority from ever visiting the sea). Moreover, one out of five Israelis is a Palestinian, and about one of every six residents of the Occupied Territories is a Jewish colonist. The degree to which the country is a single, indivisible unit is sometimes underscored by the most mundane experiences.
A Palestinian friend recently told me about being pulled over for speeding in the West Bank. The person who ticketed him was an Israeli army official.
Yes, Palestine has been colonised out of existence, and the Israeli army is busy policing traffic. The army's nearness to the average Palestinian extends beyond colonies.
The region has few freshwater resources. In Israel, maintaining access to water is a matter of national security. The mountain aquifer underneath the West Bank's rocky topography is one major source, and the Israeli army regularly destroys ‘unauthorised' wells and cisterns to secure Israeli hegemony over the scarce resource.
It was awareness that there will never be a viable Palestinian state that prompted me to work with other Harvard students to organise a one-state conference last weekend. Our work has been informed by the uncontroversial view that all people are created equal.
Assessing an environment in which Israel controls the lives of four million people and deprives them of basic human rights, we ask whether there is an alternative: Can the one-state solution deliver equal rights to everyone? Critics say that raising the question of equal rights in Israel/Palestine reveals our motives; we seek to destroy Israel, they say.
Prejudiced thinking
They contend civil rights for everyone in the country will mean "the elimination of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people." For some, everything that happens in the Middle East is viewed through the prism of what is best for the Jewish people. But the Palestinians are people, too.
Preserving ‘Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people' is a costly endeavour. And I regret that the cost is borne almost exclusively by Palestinians living under apartheid. It is also worth asking whether permanent occupation is good for the Jewish people.
Palestinians learn about thousands of years of Jewish suffering, persecution and genocide, and we wonder whether Israel can really be the height of Jewish achievement. Did the Jewish people survive for so long only to become another people's occupiers and permanent oppressors?
Many of my Jewish friends and peers in Israel and in America answer that question resoundingly: No. Peter Beinart has done an admirable job chronicling the movement of young American Jews away from Israel. But in Israel, something different is happening.
About a year ago, I marched down a winding lane in the windswept village of Bilin to protest the Israeli seizure of village lands. The non-violent action was organised by the village's Popular Committee, and, as is typical, a group of Israelis joined in solidarity.
Many of these young people had publicly rejected their Jewish privilege. They were there because we were equals, united in our rejection of military occupation and apartheid. In Israel/Palestine, the struggle for human dignity and freedom is edifying. The call for equal rights is energising and uplifting. And in a region where hope founders and falters so frequently, that's saying a lot.

Magura Jack Hydraulic Motorcycle Clutch Review - Dirt Rider Magazine
Jack Hydraulic Clutch
Some upgrades seem a little useless, especially when stock stuff is so good these days, and I'm guilty of thinking that about the Magura Jack. I was semireluctant to put one on our Long Haul Honda CRF450X. I used the fact that the clutch lever pivot bolt was seizing on the lever as an excuse to give this $255 unit a try.Installation on the bike took about an hour, and you have to be very careful about the hose routing in the tight engine compartment, because if it melts, you are clutchless for sure. Once mounted, the clutch pull was just a little lighter than stock and with less pull length. What this meant was with some worn and slightly warped clutch plates, there was clutch drag when the bike was cold. When we replaced the clutch plates, that drag was gone. Right away, I noticed that there was better feel and a lot more control of the clutch when in really technical situations. Since the engagement point was longer, it gave me a better feel and better control for slipping the clutch. It didn't seem to make any difference during normal riding other than there was the lighter feel at the lever. In truly abusive situations, the Magura compensates for the changes in clutch expansion (where the stock cable gets loose). A skilled rider will realize the clutch is getting hot and quit killing it before there is a problem since there is never a change in feel at the lever. (The problem with the stock cable comes when you readjust it when it is hot-when it cools, the clutch never regains full engagement and constantly slips.)During our time with it, the fluid never leaked or needed attention and the pivots and lever stayed tight yet moved freely. Surprising is that the Magura system might even weigh less than the stock cable setup. After using this on our CRF, every time I ride one without it, I realize I preferred the feel of the Jack. After this experience, I'd consider it on any cable-activated bike. -Jimmy Lewis | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9690641164779664}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '255006', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RNRIEHPB4FSI7F4H6KSXSBCLO6MMTIWF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c188cf8e-f7f8-4e77-83ad-072e1362872e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 11, 19, 19, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.76.198.208', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:G2BA6I74PL3PCBTSCE4OCB2MYTQALM6D', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:14c1f264-522e-420b-bb7b-55a739b95df4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.dirtrider.com/tests/gear/141_0611_magura_jack_hydraulic_clutch/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b34f4dce-e598-4433-9235-0201bf1e95eb>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '357', 'url': 'https://www.dirtrider.com/tests/gear/141_0611_magura_jack_hydraulic_clutch/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-37.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': '0.03828072547912598', 'original_id': '6046ea18dd43b00c1dda1188de0a9e15df2613f4068cdf2d7cde4d938346d961'} |
5 Avocados Health Benefits
Avocados deliver a lot of beneficial health benefits in a small package so here are 5 avocados health benefits. Although the caloric content is high, avocados have the vitamins and minerals of green vegetables, the protein of meat and provide essential body oils. They're also cholesterol and sodium free and are able to treat and prevent many ailments, from vision problems to heart disease to obesity. Here are five reasons why you should get on the bandwagon of this extremely nutritious fruit.
1. Improve blood cholesterol levels. Avocados are called good monounsaturated fats because they can lower blood cholesterol levels. According to the New York University Lagone Medical Center, this type of fat raises levels of good HDL cholesterol and lowers harmful triglycerides without raising harmful LDL cholesterol levels.
2. Lower blood pressure. Avocados are an excellent source of potassium which is a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Proper intake of potassium helps to protect against circulatory diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and strokes. Avocados are also rich in folate which the National Institutes of Health says helps to promote heart health.
1. Lower risks of cancer. Including avocados in your low-fat diet will help to maintain a lower risk of some cancers. Avocado is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer. These fruits also add fiber to the diet which also lowers the risk of other cancers.
1. Improve eye health. Avocados have more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein is a natural antioxidant that helps to maintain eye health as we get older. This antioxidant protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases.
2. Avocados are an antioxidant powerhouse. This fruit is the best source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases and helps maintain overall health. The avocado fruit also provides vitamin C and beta-carotene. One avocado provides twice the daily need of these three powerful antioxidant vitamins.

Managing Secrets for your Service in the Cloud
Application in the cloud ranges from a simple single page application to complex applications running complex logics across multiple boundaries and geographic regions. Irrespective of what kind they are, they must deal with secrets. Managing secrets is usually hard, especially when the application needs to be compliant, and the application has a big user base, and cannot afford any downtime. There have been numerous incidents on the internet, where the services and applications have taken downtime, due to expired secrets, which impacts the customer experience and the reputation of the service. Also, mismanaging of secrets is a huge security risk to the customer, their data, and the service. Leaking of customer data, and not able to secure them can lead to major lawsuits against the service and the company owning it. So, the secrets an application uses are as much important as the application and its features.
An application manages different kinds of secrets based on its functionalities, e.g. certificates, passwords, connection strings etc. Each of these types of secrets has different properties, life cycle, and management process. But, if we try to define the life cycle of a secret, they go through roughly three stages:
1. Acquisition – the step where the secret is created
2. Whitelisting – the step where the secret is activated
3. Revocation – the step where the secret is deactivated
Some of the steps can be automated and some not, depending on the type of the secret. We will focus on the principles and some of the guidelines of secret management, with the Azure KeyVault as the secret store. But these principles and guidelines can be generally applied to any form of a secret store and management workflows. We will also, talk about some of the ways the secret can be “safely” consumed by an application hosted on the Azure platform.
Why is secret rotation important?
There are four main reasons, rotation of secrets makes sense:
1. Expiry: A lot of your secrets has a hard-bound expiry date associated with it, and X.509 certificates are a common example of such. If you want to continue using an X.509 certificate, you must rotate them. If you are using it for SSL/TLS, the browser would not display your site unless if you have a valid certificate.
2. Dependency Breakage: A lot of time, your secret might still be valid and usable, but you still might need to rotate it, because its “related” secret might have changed. A common example is if your X.509 certificate intermediate-CA or root-CA has been changed. Another example could be a SAS token issued for an Azure storage account.
3. Security: Not all secrets have a hard-bound expiry date or a depended secret, but you will still need to rotate them if it was leaked. As a security guideline, it always necessary to rotate them, even though they are not known to be leaked, because a lot of the time, the owner of the secret might not be aware that it was leaked, and by the time they do, a lot of damage has been done. Rotating them reduces the damage in these cases. Also, in case of leakage, it might be necessary to do a root cause analysis to find out what caused the leakage and take mitigation steps to stop in future.
4. Compliance: If your service or application needs to be compliant as per the standard compliance certification guidelines, you need to have your secrets rotated on a periodic basis. It is very important to assert who can see and manage a production secret, and there needs to be a clear separation of duties between a development team and the operation team, and it gets a bit complicated if you are a DevOps team. I have a future article coming about more on this.
Questions and Consideration regarding secrets management
The most common scenarios, when a secret need to be updated is when it has expired, or about to be expired. But there are few considerations that always need to be thought through before a secret is updated or rolled out:
1. Service Downtime: For any running service, the secret is that is being rolled out is in use. How would you roll it out without affecting the customers who are relying on the secret? For example, one of the partner services can rely on a service-to-service certificate to authenticate with your endpoint. If the certificate is rollout out, how can it connect? This doesn’t only apply to your partners, but rather if the database connection string has been updated, how would your application connect to the backend database. Or, if you update your oAuth 2.0 assertion certificate, how would your application get an access token (please see the previous article on oAuth 2.0 to know more about it), without a full re-deployment of your application. Keep in mind, your application could be running in multiple geographic locations, with thousands of users accessing it, and rolling an application may not as easy as it may sound. You essentially won’t want any downtime due to the secret rollout.
2. Access to production secrets: Another important aspect is, how will the secret be rolled out. Who can see and update the secret? Most of the time, these secrets are like gold-mine for people, and having access to these can mean, they can have access to your customer sensitive data. Sometimes as sensitive as health records, or financial records. This becomes more the important, as not all secrets cannot be fully automated, and it’s not always easy to apply any DevOps principals to these secrets. There have been numerous times, when an authorized person who can rotate a secret, has innocently left the secret in his desktop while rotating, and at a later point, someone easily steals it from his desktop. In that case, it won’t matter how much protection you have implemented in your secret store. Thera is also some severe compliance implications for it.
3. Forced out-of-band Rotations: There are times when you would need to rotate your secret out of bound. Suppose, you have a privileged user in your company who are authorized to manage secrets. What happens when he leaves the company? Or, what happens if the intermediary/root CA of all your certificates has been changed due to a breach or is no longer supported, and the child certificates need to be issued by a new CA (please see my previous post on X.509 certificates for more about this). Or, worst case, what if all your secrets are leaked, and you need to change them immediately, to contain the damage. In all these situations, you would need to roll out the secret as soon as possible, and you would want to do that safely.
4. Secret Expiry Notification: Won’t it be awesome, if your secrets never expire, and you would not spend a sleepless night with service outage? Well, that could be true, if some process notifies you of expiring secrets well before time so that you have ample time to rotate and deploy them. How can you set up a secret notification for your secrets, and create a process for your team to receive it and act on it, to never see them expire?
5. Auditing: You would also want to keep a record of which secret was changed when and by whom? This is necessary for the investigative purpose, and to audit access controls to secrets on a periodic basis. This also helps in troubleshooting any issues that were caused by a secret rotation. This is a requirement for compliance too.
Managing Secrets in Azure KeyVault
Azure has an amazing product called KeyVault (KV), which specialized in storing and managing secrets. It started as a secure secret storage and then is evolving as a storage and management solution. It essentially stores secrets in three forms, as an X.509 certificate, as a cryptographic key, and as a free-form secret text. The cryptographic keys can be further secured with HSM-protected based storage with few additional cost. KeyVault has also provided other aspects of the secret storage like fine-grained access control using Azure Active Directory, auditing, expiry notification etc., which is absolutely necessary to protect and maintain the secrets.
1. Free-form Secret and Key Rotation: You can set up an automatic rotation of a free-form secret and keys stored in the KeyVault, using the Azure Automation service. Here is a nice wiki describing this. While you can write your own automation to rotate your secrets, KeyVault has started supporting automatic rotation of resource-specific secrets, e.g. Azure Storage Keys.
2. X.509 Certificate Rotation:
1. Public CA signed X.509 Certificate Rotation: This is one of the most interesting features, where you can set up your certificates to automatically rotate with a supported public certificate signing authorities. This is explained in little more detail in this blog. At the time of writing this article, KV supports the following CAs:
1. DigiCert
2. Global Sign
2. Intermediate CA-signed certificate: If you want to create a certificate signed by your enterprise intermediate CA, you can do so by starting the process in KeyVault with a CSR, and then send the CSR to your intermediate-CA to sign it. Once you get the intermediate-CA signed public key, you can integrate it back to the original request to generate the private key. Both the above approach of getting a CA-signed certificate is extremely useful, as the private key is born inside the KeyVault and never leaves during its management lifecycle.
3. Self-signed certificate: You can also create self-signed certificates in your KeyVault automatically by setting the issuer as “Self”.
Deployments of Secrets using the Push Model
Safe consumption of secrets is as important as the safe management of the secrets. I am going to talk about two of the common Azure application types and some guidelines about consumption of secrets for these, i.e. PaaSv1 Cloud Application, and PaaSv2 Service Fabric. There are other types of application, e.g. AppService, Web sites, Function, Service Fabric container service etc., which is not covered here, and I would probably write a future article on those. This also assumes that you have stored your secrets in Azure KeyVault.
Cloud Service (PaaSV1)
The deployment mechanism of a cloud service is through Azure classic REST API. The primary deployment collaterals for a cloud service deployment is a CSCFG and a CSPKG file. The binaries are packed into the CSPKG file and is generated from a CSDEF file, which has topology definition of the cloud service. The CSDEF would have the endpoints and the binary locations etc. The CSCFG file contains the list of X.509 certificates, with its thumbprints, and its association with the individual endpoints. The Azure fabric essentially takes the CSCFG and the CSPKG, and provisions the VMs as requested and then deploys the binaries, that are packed with the CSPKG. When the VM starts up, and the endpoints are configured in the IIS, it would expect all the X.509 certificates installed on the box. So, before making a call to the CreateDeployment rest API to start a deployment, it is necessary to perform this pre-deployment step, where you call your KeyVault APIs to download the secrets and then call the classic API with ServiceCertificateCreateParameters to upload them. The rest of the non-certificate type secrets, such as SQL connection strings, Azure storage keys, SAAS tokens etc., that are needed by your runtime code can be downloaded from the KV location and can be packaged as a setting in the CSCFG file, which you can access using the RoleEnvironment class from your application. Please keep in mind, it is extremely important to ensure that the setting with your secrets don’t go as plain text, as these settings can be easily seen in the portal. They are usually also kept on the C:\config of the VMs. You can install the encryption certificate by calling API with ServiceCertificateCreateParameters, and encrypt the setting using the public key. While reading secret setting values at runtime, it can be decrypted with the private key which is already installed. Please read my previous post about asymmetric key encryption in .Net.
Service Fabric (PaaSv2)
Service Fabric is the next-gen PaaS offering from Azure. The offering lets you host multiple application (called as apps) in the same VMs. This leads to better resource utilization and provides many advantages over the traditional cloud service. Please read the Service Fabric documentation to know more about the tech. There are essentially two ways, the service fabric application can be deployed, and one way the service fabric cluster can be provisioned. The service fabric cluster can be provisioned using ARM template. You can also use the Azure Service Fabric PowerShell cmdlets to do the same. The application deployment can be done using the FabricClient and PowerShell cmdlets. At the time of writing this article, Microsoft Azure has release preview of the ARM template-based deployment of service fabric application. Just like the cloud application, the X.509 certificates needed by the applications in the cluster can be installed in the VM, by referring it with the KV path, in the ARM template with a cluster deployment. The VMSS RP (part of the ARM template), which is responsible for provisioning the VM, would pull the certificates from the KV location and install it in the VM. Then when the application is deployed, the certificate is already in the VM, and the application can start using it. There is a small catch here, the VMSS RP can only access KV in the same location and subscription, so it might be necessary for you to replicate your secrets from your primary KeyVault to this region specific KeyVault, if you have any shared secrets. Also, don’t forget to check the “Enable for Template Deployment” checkbox in your KeyVault for VMSS to access it. But for non-certificate secrets, the deployment script can pull it out from the KeyVault and jam it in the settings. As mentioned before, it’s extremely important to encrypt these settings. Luckily, the service fabric team has created an awesome pipeline to manage these. They have it all documented on their wiki.
Using the pull model to deploy secrets (using MSI)
In the above model for both cloud service and service fabric, the secret deployment model is more of a push model, where the deployment script pushes the secret to the running VMs or nodes. But there is another model, where your runtime code can pull those secrets directly from the KeyVault. The most important thing to understand about this model is, the runtime code would need an identity so that it can authenticate to get an access token to access the KeyVault storing the secrets. So, you still need a way to push an identity credential secret before it can pull rest of your secrets. Today, for cloud service, the deployment pre-step can call the API with ServiceCertificateCreateParameters, and for Service Fabric you can perform a cluster deployment to push the initial bootstrap credential, and then finally using that to authenticate with KeyVault. But this has a “timing” problem, where the certificate deployment is disjoined from the application/service deployment, and there can be situations which could cause this a problem. For service fabric, imagine a situation, where you perform a cluster deployment with the bootstrap credential certificate, but before you perform the application deployment, the VM node crashed, and Azure provisions a new VM for you. In that case, Azure will create the new VM with the new VMSS template, installing the new certificate, whereas the rest of the VM would have the old one. This leads to an inconsistent state of your service. To mitigate such a situation, Azure has recently released a new offering to their stack. It is called as Managed Service Identity (MSI). Azure has a nice article about this in its wiki. Essentially, when you enable the MSI extension for your service, it will create an identity for the application in Azure Active Directory, and it will bake-in the identity credentials in the application VM/nodes. The runtime code can utilize this credential to authenticate with the Azure KeyVault to download the rest of the secrets. This model is quite interesting and solves a lot of the secret handling problems, but also has some clear advantages and disadvantages:
• You don’t need to deploy your application or cluster if your secrets have been updated. You can configure your runtime code to pull the secrets as its updated. So, the pipeline becomes simpler, with less number of steps involved.
• The secrets have far fewer touchpoints, i.e. the secret can be born in the Azure KeyVault and used in the VM running the code. It doesn’t need to be in any other place, which leads to less chance of leakage.
• If your service is in maintenance mode, and there is no active deployment, with this model you won’t have to redeploy your application just to update your secrets.
• You are essentially adding an external dependency to your service. Which means, if KeyVault has an outage, you might not be able to get to your secrets. This is more important if one the VM crashes, and Azure provision a new one for you. To mitigate such a risk, you might have to potentially create a caching mechanism for your secret.
• A lot of people is not too comfortable with the fact that, an update to a secret would potentially be rolled out automatically to the live services. This removes the safety net, where the new rotated secret is bad and causes an outage to your service. This is more so if you have automatic secret rotation and management system. This is equivalent to safe code rollout with VIP Swap or an upgrade domain walk in the cloud service.
1 thought on “Managing Secrets for your Service in the Cloud”
1. Reading this makes me want to read more Azure native stuff. I wish we can bring our work and partners closer to Azure by thinning the middle layer.
