Someone showed me a couple of years back, that you can draw lines on both biscuit and fired pots, and the glaze is repelled by something in the ink.
Does anyone know which type of pens to use. I'm guessing it's the olf-fashioned board marker types - the ones you can sniff.

Former "Dance Moms" reality TV star Abby Lee Miller was sentenced Tuesday to a year and a day in prison for bankruptcy fraud and for taking $120,000 worth of Australian currency into the country without reporting it.
A federal judge also ordered Miller to pay a $40,000 fine and spend two years on probation following her release. Miller pleaded guilty in both cases last year.
Prosecutors said she tried to cheat her creditors by hiding $775,000 worth of income and deserved prison. Miller's attorneys argued for probation, saying her creditors were made whole after the fraud was discovered.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Melucci told the court that Miller went from being a "dance mom in the bankruptcy case to dance con."
"I'm certainly ashamed to be meeting you for the first time in this manner," she told the judge. "I wish you could take my class or come to one of my events and see how much I love this."
The "Dance Moms" star was known for her brash behavior and pursuit of perfectionism from her dance students. The show follows a class of Miller's elite students and the perilous relationship she has with the girls' mothers. Critics of "Dance Moms" accuse Miller of being emotionally abusive toward the girls, and many episodes show her students dissolving into tears after a harsh critique.
Prosecutors said Miller repeatedly hid her true income and contracts for future income from her TV shows until her channel-surfing bankruptcy judge saw her on TV and concluded she must be making far more than the $8,899 in monthly income she initially declared.
Miller eventually coughed up $288,000 in TV income she didn't initially report, but then federal investigators found she'd hidden nearly $550,000 more from personal appearances, dance sessions and merchandise sales. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'f6127bac76bc6e32bdf1f5207fed553a17972cf31d968a94f96c37dc8e3a5117'} |
The show is based on the comedic web series starring 'The Walking Dead's' Ross Marquand and Jim Meskimen of 'Parks and Recreation.'
Pop has ordered its second scripted comedy series.
The network, formerly TV Guide Network, has picked up to series the Rainn Wilson-produced web series Impress Me.
The six-episode series originally premiered on Wilson's YouTube channel SoulPancake and hails from The Office alum's production company of the same name. Pop will air those six plus an additional seven never-before-seen installments. The series will premiere after Schitt's Creek, Pop's first scripted and highest-rated series, starting on Wednesday, March 18 at 10:30 p.m.

Created by writer-director Ben Shelton, the half-hour scripted comedy centers on celebrity impressionists Ross Marquand (new The Walking Dead series regular Aaron) and Jim Meskimen (Parks and Recreation's Martin) who are trying to quit doing impressions and become dramatic actors. The result: total chaos. Cameos include Angela Kinsey (The Office), Erika Christensen (Parenthood), Matt Jones (Breaking Bad), Josh Groban and "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Pop president Brad Schwartz touted the spirit of the "celebrity fandom" and heart and called Impress Me a "great match" with Schitt's Creek, a Canadian import Pop acquired in October.
"This show is about more than two talented celebrity impressionists. It’s about how hard (and hilarious) it can be to follow your heart, even when the cards are stacked against you,” Wilson said. “SoulPancake birthed this baby online, and Pop’s savvy creative team is bold enough to bring it to TV.”
Impress Me becomes the latest web-turned-TV series as the increase in scripted fare puts writers and talent in short supply and programmers look to other avenues for success. It joins TV Land's upcoming take on Teachers; Comedy Central hit Broad City; Adult Swim'sChildrens Hospital; Showtime's Web Therapy; Cartoon Network's Annoying Orange; and Nickelodeon's AwesomenessTV, among others. On the flip side, IFC just canceled Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome's Garfunkel and Oates after one season.

Things that make doing the three green ‘Rs’ easier | Latest World News - Breaking News & Top Stories
Things that make doing the three green ‘Rs’ easier
We’ve probably all done it. Taken that plastic bottle out of the fridge either at the store or at home drank the contents to keep ourselves hydrated (good move) then almost automatically put the bottle in the recycling bin.
That may all seem easy and simple for us to do, yet the number of things that need to happen to make that simple action possible is much greater than we might think.
So, in course of this article, let’s look at some of the things that mean we can recycle in the amounts we do and how valuable they are in our battle with waste, and how it is managed in the 21st century.
However, before we look at this, it should be remembered that Recycling is just one of the three Rs:
1 Reduce
I think we’d all admit we consume too much. In fact, we generate around 3% more waste than we did the year before. Allowing for a bit of compounding, that means we double the amount of waste we create every 25 years. To put that in perspective, the average Western household generates a ton of waste a year. So, by reducing what we consume we can make a massive difference.
2 Reuse
This is not just about recycling but about upcycling and fixing rather than replacing. Do you really need that new piece of furniture with the trendy Scandinavian name, or can you re-purpose what you already have or buy an existing piece from a thrift store or maybe benefit a charity at the same time by buying from one of their outlets. Often, the newest thing is not the best thing at all.
3 Recycle
When we recycle rather than reduce or reuse, we need to do it well. We need to make sure we recycle correctly, and in doing so we have plenty of help from companies that have emerged to perform these vital tasks.
There are plenty of sources on recycling from our local authorities and even more that help the preparation and storage of materials before recycling. The huge volumes of recycled material mean that that they often need to be compacted or baled and getting this operation completed correctly is an under-appreciated task.
Equipment like the compactors and balers made by recyclingbalers.com performs this task and is a key part of any successful recycling process. Without it, recycling, especially from industrial sources, would be hard to manage at the scale we currently do.
Final thoughts
We all create waste, both personally and in the demands we place on the industries that provide us with everyday goods. However, it is no secret that we should reduce that demand where we can, or when we can, meet that demand with a product that would otherwise add to waste.
That then leaves us with that which we recycle, and we can do that responsibly knowing that the items we recycle will be managed well throughout the process.

Biden’s Anti-Discrimination Order Is Executive Vaporware
Some executive orders please supporters—and troll adversaries—without delivering much in the way of policy change.
Of 14 executive orders signed by President Joe Biden during his first week in office, the most popular with the public, according to a tabulation by Five Thirty-Eight, is the one “prohibiting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Which is mighty strange, because if there’s anything Biden’s Executive Order 13988 doesn’t do, it is prohibit workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Any such attempt would arrive too late, since last summer the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Bostock v. Clayton County that existing federal law against sex discrimination in the workplace already prohibits discrimination based on those factors
So what if anything does the Biden order do? Good question.
One clue is in its name: “Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” Note the lack of any reference to workplaces or employment, despite a good bit of commentary assuming such a connection.
Instead, the bulk of the order is devoted to two interrelated themes. One is mostly mood music: The administration has a policy of being staunchly against discrimination. This itself is not new and in itself carries no legal force, although departments and agencies are directed to review their existing rules and practices to be sure they are consistent.
The second and arguably more substantive theme is the review of the implications of the Bostock decision for areas of federal law other than employment. For those who need a refresher, Bostock was the case in which plaintiffs advanced an ambitious argument based in textualism—the premise that the actual words of a law must prevail, even if the resulting outcome was neither foreseen nor intended by the original lawmakers. In this case, they argued that the plain language banning discrimination “because of ... sex” applied to prohibiting discrimination based on LGBT and transgender status, both of which can be understood as forms of sex discrimination. I've described this argument as “surprise plain meaning” and it persuaded a six-justice majority of the court, led by arch-textualist Neil Gorsuch. Because the argument was based in textualism, it implied that the broader reading had been there within the four corners of the text all along, just not grasped until now.
When the court ruled in Bostock, everyone recognized that in principle, other statutes barring sex discrimination in fields like housing, education, health care, and so forth might possibly be read to yield the same result—or might not.
There are many reasons for the uncertainty. Each of these other statutes is worded differently. One or another of them might, for example, spell out a narrower definition of sex discrimination.
In fact, even when statutes are identical or nearly so in their wording, courts frequently decide to read them differently, based on history, perceived practicality, and many other factors.
Just within the realm of employment law, you might think “discrimination” is equally prohibited for race, sex, age, and religion, but in practice not all the laws use the same language, and even when they do, courts have not always chosen to interpret it the same way for each category. So one of the things a novice HR manager learns is that it’s not safe to assume that the rules for race carry over to religion or that either carry over to age.
All of which is to say that we are going to need to wait for the courts to clarify whether the many other sex discrimination laws on the books have been broadened by Bostock, and if so how.
Even if the executive order were to direct the Cabinet departments and agencies to take the most liberal reading—which it doesn’t in fact do—the courts will have the last word, unless Congress steps in to clarify matters.
What we have here is mostly that now-familiar thing, a sweeping-sounding executive order that doesn’t actually do much beyond kicking things down the road to agencies that will have to make the harder decisions. In particular, some agencies are going to find that the statutes they administer aren’t as amenable as Title VII to the Bostock treatment. In these cases, the agency staff simply won’t have the legal means on hand to achieve a Bostock-like reading—and the executive order doesn’t require them to try.
If all this seems familiar, it’s because we’ve gotten used to the idea of executive orders as vaporware—exciting announcements that thrill backers (and troll adversaries) without necessarily delivering a usable product. While President Donald Trump did not invent this kind of EO, he loved using them, and critics regularly applied the vaporware term to his headline-grabbing orders on everything from school choice to the defunding of supposedly anarchist cities.
When Trump issued an executive order on religious liberty, for example, it occasioned a great deal of whooping and stepped-up fundraising from interest groups on both sides, but actually did … very little. Here is what I wrote at the time, which can be applied almost in its entirety to the new post-Bostock order:
Nothing in the law itself will change, and nothing will become lawful that is now unlawful. …
It offers a general statement of policy support for religious liberty. This might help the pro‐accommodation side prevail more often in future debates at the agencies. If so, the Trump White House will have joined all its predecessors in the practice of taking credit for fine‐sounding, vague statements of principle while leaving to the agencies the messier and inevitably less popular responsibilities of implementation. …
Maybe bigger victories for organized religious conservatives lie ahead—but if so, they are likely to come from the agencies, not from the Oval Office.
Government by showy executive order is wearing out its welcome even in unexpected quarters these days. You can see why. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '7', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9606170058250428}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '114978', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LFVHIEFZDTYXA2MNRJO5DPSPWJWKHW5X', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7e58e7ad-112f-447e-bf8a-6b1c46130edd>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 25, 19, 9, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.67.186.17', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UXI2NYVRFWQNTPD6WWG2KDIOCS3OWDUS', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:acc46e09-86c1-4904-b4d0-94f5d9c4be8b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://thedispatch.com/p/bidens-anti-discrimination-order', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:42d97d84-a7bd-4347-91b6-0d49cfa756cc>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '971', 'url': 'https://thedispatch.com/p/bidens-anti-discrimination-order', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-156\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': '0.03339576721191406', 'original_id': '28ffc00f72f0d391a1ac21c55dbab44c443da1d23747d49c7fac0940633d294b'} |
Exquisite Pool and Spas, Dallas
Swimming pools/spas are the perfect addition to any home! They provide both enjoyment and the physical exercise you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, all within an economical and aesthetic space.
Here we built the swimming pool & spa, poured the foundation for the room and poured the concrete deck you see. The husband swims against the powerful current generated by the 4 HP pump. The wife does her exercises in the shallow end of the pool, mostly water aerobics. The pool is heated with a heat pump that is 92% efficient. It converts the outside ambient air into heat and heats the pool 80 to 82 degrees all the time, so there is only a small electric expense for operating the heat pump. The pool is heated from the floor and is very economical due to the hot water coming in from the floor and heating the body of water before it reaches the surface. No gas, no electric bills! Within 2 years the heat pump will pay for itself. They tell me their grandkids will not get out of the pool. They love it!
We can add swimming pools & spas to an exisiting area, or do the whole thing including the room enclosure. Give us a call and we'll be happy to meet with you to map out the perfect design for you!

The Thankful Game - and how to suck at it.
It's the day before Thanksgiving here in the US. Over the course of the years the Wednesday before Thanksgiving has become as much of a "surrogate" holiday as Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, a day of grocery shopping, pie making, and for many, travelling.
The month before Thanksgiving, starting November 1st, has become a new holiday season. Many stores clear out the Halloween costumes and candy and put out the garland and tree decorations, but more than that, in our web-connected world, it's become it's own season. A season of thankfulness.
Many of my online friends played The Thankful Game this month. The Thankful game is where you use your blog or Facebook status or Twitter update to, once a day, tell something you are thankful for. The idea is that at the beginning of the game it's really easy, but as the days go on you are more and more challenged to think of things to be thankful fore and become more and more appreciative of the people and things and circumstances in your life.
I hate that game. I never play.
Why? Well, for one, it's kind of annoying. The first few days are always the same "my friends", "my family", "my job", "my house", "my dog"... on and on and on. Now don't get me wrong, those are great and fabulous things to have in your life and you should absolutely be thankful for them. But when 20 people on facebook are playing The Thankful Game and post their updates at about the same time every day and they all say pretty much the same thing ever single flipping day, it's kind of annoying. Really annoying. In fact I would say fingernails on a chalkboard annoying.
Another reason I don't play is, when it comes to Facebook, some people always need to comment on the things you say and make it about them. For example, if I post something like "I am really thankful that my chronic migraine is only at about 3 on the pain scale today instead of the usual 7" I get comments back like: "Oh I know just how you feel. Mine is at an 11 today when it's usually 17 and therefore much worse than yours and you should totally be grateful that your pain is less than mine and that you're able to talk about it because I'm on so much pain I can't move my hands an am typing with my left little toe because it's the only thing that hurts less than a 12." Ok, maybe not exactly that, but you get the idea. It has to be all about them and not just "hey that's great" or "I'm glad for you".
But overall the main reason I don't play is that The Thankful Game really misses the point. Absolutely I think that Thanksgiving is an awesome holiday and should be observed, but rather than fostering an attitude of thankfulness only a few days a year, we need to foster, develop, encourage, and grow that attitude in ourselves every DAY of the whole YEAR.
The Thankful Game needs to be played all the time. Now I'm not encouraging people to post on their social networks every day all the time. In fact please DON'T do that. Rather pray your thankfulness, if you are religiously inclined as I am - or keep it in your heart all day or write it down or privately express it in some way, if you are not. (In other words, thank God if you believe in him, thank karma or luck or your circumstances if you don't).
And that's when it really gets hard. Developing a sense of thankfulness every day of every year, no matter what else is going on in your life, is HARD. Can you be thankful when you get a flat tire and are stuck on the side of a busy highway with no spare? Can you be thankful when the dog has puppies and you didn't know she was pregnant... and she has them on your dry-clean only shirt that you needed for a business trip the next day? Can you be thankful laying in a hospital bed waiting for emergency surgery because your appendix has ruptured? Can you be thankful in the waiting room because someone else's appendix ruptured? Can you be thankful alone, in your room, when it seems no one is your friend and the loneliness buries you like a heavy wet blanket?
The only way to be bad at the Thankful Game is not to play. If you are reading this, it means you are among the wealthiest people on the planet. You have a home and electricity and light and a means to connect to the Internet. You also probably have a television to entertain you, a vehicle to get you places, and food in abundance. No matter your circumstances there is something to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.97332364320755}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '75038', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XUZTOCI4UXUBSBT6GAO7KSAHIVXCWWRF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:18b2a1e8-8a7f-45ec-af0b-d222918c7c3c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 22, 3, 27, 15), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.194.121.44', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WSYYV27WZ5SH2HXOPVDV2BI2J35GLWL5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5e18023a-038f-4651-94fc-0f321b99ed65>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://thedeeperendofchaos.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-thankful-game-and-how-to-suck-at-it.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f1113ca9-62b6-4f1f-8192-34d43d85a743>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '824', 'url': 'http://thedeeperendofchaos.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-thankful-game-and-how-to-suck-at-it.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.2816962003707886', 'original_id': '4bba758d9368419888518e4ea39771768e83f837a3653345241463d393533ba2'} |
A tweakable quantum adiabatic computation simulator

Quantum Adiabatic Computing simulator
Build Status
AdiaComput.jl is a package for simulating quantum adiabatic computing implemented in Julia. The design of AdiaComput.jl is aimed to implementing an efficient, pluggable simulator which allows users create their own adiabatic computing routine. Current AdiaComput.jl only supports CPU computing in the simulation. GPU branch of the simulator is old and needs to be further developed.
Use the following commands in Julia to install dependencies.
The package has not been submitted into METADATA.jl, therefore, if you want to use this package, you need to use Pkg.clone
User Guide
For adiabatic computing, you need to generate your own problem Hamiltonian, denoted as HP in following codes.
For example, we could use the build-in QuSAT.jl interface to generate a 4-qubit Hamiltonian for exact cover problem.
using QuDynamics
using AdiaComput
using QuSAT
using QuBase
using QuComputStates
ins,ans = generate(4)
pH = QuArray(pHamiltonian(ins,4),(comput_basis(4),comput_basis(4)))
Then you will need to create an AQC obeject, there are few key words that you could tweak at the beginning.
• maxtime max evolution time.
• method method for Shrodinger equation solver. All the method in QuDynamics.jl is allowed.
• ODE solvers QuODE45,QuODE23s,QuODE78
• Expm solvers QuExpokit,QuExpmV
aqc = AQC(pH,4;maxtime=100)
use |> operator to insert routines into your simulated quantum adiabatic computer. In this example, we simply simulate the normal routine of an adiabatic computing.
for (t,psi) in aqc end
The tuple on the left of |> consist of two parts
• time list for your propagator (evolution)
• your propagator/evolution routine
The AQC's states is stored in aqc.state, you could check the success probability of your evolution.
p = norm(aqc.state[ans[1]+1])^2
Custom routines
To custome the routines, a subtype of QuDynamics.QuPropagatorMethod will need to be defined. And you will need to define your own propagate function, which returns an QuArray as next state. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.7521096467971802}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '36213', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:PKKPMKJL6BORK2Y6SCOC2BMUOQL7MQU7', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:dc3ab5ea-9012-4f8e-bbe5-96cc52f2c4a3>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 27, 6, 50, 4), 'WARC-IP-Address': '99.84.181.96', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:COJ4TWILNLRK2MLCB54F5CRAOFSHP4YD', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c36fd737-68a6-4e44-b881-e086220ed0fe>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://juliapackages.com/p/adiaroll', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:978383b0-bd23-407d-b5c3-29d46c3986e5>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '313', 'url': 'https://juliapackages.com/p/adiaroll', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-40\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-232.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.024161994457244873', 'original_id': '34a750420e5076c14011094614e70e466246bfb7675cdabbfeebdf4da0d04c75'} |
For Petraeus, the rapid increase of ugly rhetoric against Muslims and Islam threatens to engulf even “moderate” Muslims. This is exactly what terror groups like al-Qaida and the Islamic State want, as it supports their vision of the world as one divided between the forces of Islam and the forces of the decadent, satanic west. These groups then seize on a sort of “clash of civilizations” rhetoric to drive recruitment and push moderate Muslims into their ranks.
Muslims in the West are apparently so at risk of joining up with al-Qaida, that Petraeus thinks we need to police our own speech, as not to offend them and face the potential consequence of a growing, violent fifth column taking shape in the West.
“Rather than making our country safer, they will compound the already grave terrorist danger to our citizens,” Petraeus wrote. “As ideas, they are toxic and, indeed, non-biodegradable — a kind of poison that, once released into our body politic, is not easily expunged.”
“Setting aside moral considerations, those who flirt with hate speech against Muslims should realize they are playing directly into the hands of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State,” Petraeus added. “The terrorists’ explicit hope has been to try to provoke a clash of civilizations — telling Muslims that the United States is at war with them and their religion.”
Cooperation from moderate Muslims is a key element relied upon by the American intelligence apparatus to crush domestic terror threats. To alienate those Muslims would jeopardize the ability of law enforcement to keep the nation safe, as agents would lose important assets embedded in Muslim communities.
On the international front, Petraeus noted the successful utilization of Iraqis to fight al-Qaida during the initial stages of the Iraqi invasion. Presumably, this would not have been possible with anti-Muslim rhetoric. Without those allies, more U.S. troops would’ve been needed, resulting in more casualties.
“I fear that those who demonize and denigrate Islam make it more likely that it will be our own men and women who ultimately have to shoulder more of this fight — at greater cost in dollars and lives,” Petraeus said.
Petraeus’ arguments follow in the footsteps of newly elected Muslim London Mayor Sadiq Khan that if Trump doesn’t let in Muslims, Muslims will attack America.

Let it grow: How Clapton's guitar can make you rich
By Tony Maddox, CNN
A selection of the Eric Clapton guitars on sale.
A selection of the Eric Clapton guitars on sale.
• Bonhams auctioneers selling more than 70 Eric Clapton guitars
• Collector, CNN editorial chief and sometime musician Tony Maddox explains the joy of guitars
• Provenance and a star owner are often key to a good sale price, Maddox says
• In 2004 Clapton's Blackie guitar sold for $959,000; this sale has a reproduction of the iconic instrument
Editor's Note: CNN's Tony Maddox has been playing guitar for more than 30 years, although you may find that hard to believe if you heard him. He owns, or "has invested in" as he puts it, more than 20 guitars.
(CNN) -- The more I think about it the more I am convinced I need one of Eric Clapton's old guitars.
Bonhams is hosting an auction of "Slowhand's" gear in New York. I really should be there and as a responsible parent make some investments for my children's futures.
Now nobody should take financial advice from a washed-up, failed rock guitarist like me. But if you will just go with me on this, I do think I may be onto something.
No doubt, vintage guitars made by the right company, at the right time, and played by the right people, are a serious investment opportunity.
Headlines were made in 2004 when Clapton's Blackie guitar sold for $959,000. Actually that guitar broke one of the usual rules for collectors because it was not all original. He had swapped parts from other guitars, which usually kills the resale value.
But what it did have was provenance. And what provenance. This was the guitar that Clapton had used over two decades, both in the studio and on stage. It also had a lot of people who wanted to buy it -- baby boomers who grew up with Clapton, the provider of soundtracks for their lives. And you can own the very guitar he played those tunes on? If you had just under a million bucks burning a hole your pocket it would be crazy not to.
There is nothing that iconic at these sales, but there is a range of very tasty Clapton stuff. Beyond guitars there are amplifiers (also very collectable), stage clothes and other memorabilia. As an investment, provided you avoid bidding frenzy, these would be instruments of unquestioned authenticity, many of which have been used on record and in public performance by a star who has been making music and selling out concerts for nearly 40 years.
The money Clapton raised in these sales goes to the Crossroads Centre, which he founded, which treats drug and alcohol addiction. So, it's for a good cause, it's a good investment, and you finish up with a really cool guitar.
Guitars can be a great investment. Key vintage Fender guitars more than doubled in value in the last decade. If you have an original "Strat" from the 1950s or early 1960s in what as known as a custom color (taken from popular auto colors of the period), you could be looking at a value of up to $50,000 -- not bad for something that would not have cost more than $100 when new.
Of course most people who bought them back then did not do so thinking they were long-term investments so parts were changed, the finishes were battered and repainted and value was subsequently diminished.
I bought a 1961 Strat all original expect for having been stripped down to the wood. It cost between half and a third of what it would have done if the paint had still been on.
Now there is a thriving trade in so called "relic guitars" which are new but treated to give the impression of a battered old road warrior.
Worrying, there are also a lot of guitars being sold as original vintage pieces, which have had parts changed out.
The money involved makes it worthwhile for the fakers who go to great lengths to disguise the changes. So the buyer beware, and always seek out what provenance and guarantees you can.
There is one guitar that is the Stradivarius for collectors. It is the Gibson Les Paul Standard, made between 1958 and 1960. If you had bought one back then -- and you may well have got a discount because it was not a big seller at the time -- you would now be sitting on a guitar which can change hands for well in excess of $250,000.
How does that happen? Well, it brings us back to Clapton. He played a Les Paul on an album by John Mayall and Blues Breakers. The recording is legendary among guitar players.
Suddenly the discontinued Les Paul was in demand. Its value rose, and then soared as it was adopted by one superstar after another. We are talking Keith Richards, Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
Music world honors Les Paul Video
Clapton's Les Paul is thought to have been stolen while he was in rehearsals with his band Cream. Now if that ever showed up, Blackie might well end up being the second most valuable guitar sold in open auction.
So if you want to buy a vintage guitar and have a partner who takes an alternative perspective, point out you are doing it for them, for their future.
And if you find yourself bidding against some heavy set, balding guy, who looks like he knows he really should not be there, give him a break and let him win. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9822310209274292}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '35633', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:KQO6VGTCKKPBEPPAYLHJHZ2CDDKJQ7JD', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:95e4ee21-5b9d-431a-bf5c-1dcc3bf2ad97>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 4, 27, 7, 44, 12), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.33.67', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7MZZVFMGI3MLTWYLIHUI4SPLR6P5KS6W', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:572c6cb8-9970-4ae5-a0ae-c313a4526643>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/03/09/clapton.guitars/index.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:82dc070c-a2a2-468e-beef-780f2deb8e21>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '925', 'url': 'http://www.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/03/09/clapton.guitars/index.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-17\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2017\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025757193565368652', 'original_id': '3b4cf208e4863ea2b0195468a8c5f17476f02664ba958a675eb7feb64aae151f'} |
A CHART-TOPPING singer and DJ visited a Wembley superstore yesterday to launch a charity campaign.
Formermodel Sophie Ellis Bextor, who sang on hit dance single Groovejet, metshoppers at Ikea for the Soft Toy Campaign, which is raising money forchildren's charity UNICEF and Save the Children.
Some75 children enjoyed the half-term event and met Sophie as well as taking part in a story-telling session, teddy bear hunt and picnic.
IKEAWembley store manager, Juvencio Maeztu, said: "The atmosphere here atthe Wembley store was fantastic, the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselvesand were all very excited to see Sophie Ellis Bextor."

West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys
Album: PleaseReleased: 1985Charted:
• Tennant said in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "We arrived in the studio and Bobby O had programmed Michael Jackson's Billie Jean drum pattern. Chris started to play along and I started playing chords. In terms of the lyrics, the inspiration for West End Girls came from The Message by Grandmaster Flash. I remember once staying at my cousin's house in Nottingham and we were watching some kind of gangster film with James Cagney, and just as I was dropping off to sleep, the lines 'sometimes you're better off dead, there's a gun in your hand and it's pointing to your head' came into my head and I thought 'that's quite good' so I went off to find a pen."
• Recorded in one take, this originally missed the UK Top 40 in 1984, though it made #1 in Belgium. The song was re-recorded with producer Stephen Hague. As Stephen explained, "I heard the Bobby O version and thought it had potential. I felt it should be slowed down and the story told a little clearer. Neil and Chris agreed once they'd heard it." The above 2 quotes are also from 1000 UK #1 Hits.
• This won the 1987 BRIT Award for Best Single. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)

To Barry from Newcastle: Sorry, mate, but the song is about how the working class men (in LONDON) pine for the rich girls on the west end.
Not sure how you came up with the idea it was about Newcastle. Neil Tennant did live there but also says that the song refers to London. :)
Jacob Black - La Push, Wa
i noticed this song in a simpson episode where homer was in a gay be its related somewhere...Oliver - Rose Hill, Mauritius
Barry from Newcastle, Sorry but the song "West End Girls" it is about the West End and East End of London. The video clearly shows this.Bill - Bangkok, Thailand
This song i like but, I wish it was faster instead of it being so peacefull.Who knows someone may try to tune it up, Like with you really got meAustin - Seminole, Fl
As well as the lyrics Marc pointed out on the original Bobby 'O' version, there's also the line "I've said it all before, I'll stay it all again, we're all modern men" before continuing to "we've got no future, we've got no past, here today, built to last".Steve - Tenby, Uk
The lyrics were written in the early 1980s and were influenced by the Grandmaster Flash rap hit "The Message",[citation needed] although they focus more on class issues in London than on the inner city problems depicted in Grandmaster Flash's song. The title and refrain refer to London's divide between the traditional and working class East End and the cosmopolitan, consumer-driven West End.
Neil Tennant has stated, despite rumours to the contrary, that the lyrics do not refer to rough trade. The verses are fragmented stories, told from several different narrators' points of view - a form of verse influenced by T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land[citation needed].
The lyric "From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station" refers to the train route taken by Vladimir Lenin when he was smuggled by the Germans to Russia during the World War I, a pivotal event in the Russian Revolution. Indeed, it is highly likely the lyric was inspired by the book To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson, a very famous work on the history of revolutionary thought and Socialism that Tennant would have at least heard of, if not read, as a student. The Bobby Orlando produced version of the single included another line, "All your stopping, stalling and starting, / Who do you think you are, Joe Stalin?" which was removed for the 1985 version. Neil Tennant has a degree in history and his interest in Russian history is evident in many other Pet Shop Boys projects such as their soundtrack to the silent film Battleship Potemkin.
The lyrics also mention '...a dive bar in a west end town'. This actually refers to a popular gay bar that was situated at one end of Gerrard Street in London's Chinatown. At the time this song was written it was called The Dive Bar. The bar has now shut down.
During the intro of the song (where a woman in heels can be heard walking on the pavement on top of some street noise) there is a female voice asking "is that Sting?" approximately seven seconds into the original version of the song. The producer, Stephen Hague, who recorded the sound effect just outside the studio, apparently looked somewhat like him.
Marc Antonio - Hollywood Hills, Ca
Alejandra, West End is a rich part of London, East End is a poor part of London. In West End you have areas like Covent Garden (many theaters), Leicester square (cinemas) and they are soft options as song say. For hard options you have Soho (many peepshows,gay bars, SM bars), but also many restaurants, pubs with all sorts of music and excellent coffee bars (italian). Excellent and very, very expensive at the same time for me to be honest (so, not much real choices you have as PSB say in their song). And it is pretty same in Paris but there it is north that is poor, and south that is rich, and the center that is very, very rich, or Istanbul with the rich right bank of Bosphor, and poor left bank of Bosphor and so on, and so on (like PSB say "Here today built to last (probably walls between rich and poor), In every city in every nation, From Lake Geneva to the Finland station"). It was a truth in 1987. and it is a truth in 2007.In Bosnia we have no such worries, only two classes exist, poor and very poor. Irony is that those poor think they are rich, until they visit places like West End.Nezir - Travnik, Bosnia
I would like somebody to comment more about the hit West End Girls. Maybe Barry or Grace can talk about the content of the song. I heard that the West end girls were the rich girls in London. Am I right? and the East end Boys? Could somebody to help me to better understand? PSB were lastnight in Santiago,Chile in an amazing concert.Alejandra - Santiago, Chile
Cool song!!! It's one of the best songs of the 80s.Farrah - Elon, Nc
this song is actually about Newacstle upon tyne, England. neil tennant attended an all boys school in the east end of the city, where the boys would talk about the all girls school in the west end of newcastle. the boys school was st cuthberts grammar and is very much catholic. hence the monastic chants in the song. this song is CERTAINLY NOT about london. Sting attended the same school aswell as Dec from Ant and Dec fame.Barry - Newcastle, England
Nearly 21 years after "West End Girls", the Pet Shop Boys are back in the UK charts with "I'm With Stupid" (no relation to Aimee Mann's 1994 album). They've now had nearly 40 chart hits in the UK, yet in 1985, the UK's music critics all said that PSB were a novelty act who'd soon disappear when the next electro-pop band came along and stole their crown. How wrong they were...Dave - Cardiff, Wales
I love the new "West End Girls" by the West End Girls. Confuse? Search westendgirls on Google.Sebastian - Providence, Ri
PSB were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s in the UK, while in 1996-97 they sold more records than Oasis and the Spice Girls (then the two biggest UK bands in the world) put together!Dave - Cardiff, Wales
this was my fav song for a while.. when i was about 14 when it was released.. still dont mind it now thoughMarlow - Perth
I like this song. It's cool how it seems like a fluffy pop song but really has meaning (it's about class tensions in London). I am confused, however, on which class is rich and which class is poor (the two classes mentioned are the East End boys and, of course, the West End girls).Grace - Fairfax Station, Va
Melissa, the song you title "Let's Make Lots Of Money" is actually titled "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)"Dave - London, England
"Always on My Mind" and "Let's Make Lots of Money" (right title????) and "What Have I Done to Deserve This" were also top 10 in the USMelissa - Green Bay, Wi
"It's A Sin" was also a big hit in the US, and the Boys have written many songs for other artists, including Liza Minelli, Carter USM and the late Dusty SpringfieldDave - Cardiff, Wales
I think you'll find its called West End Girls. Pretty much the sole PSB song to make it big in the US, although they've had phenomenal sucess in the UK.Kian - Dublin, Ireland

5 ways that motor circuit breakers provide optimal protection for motors
It’s estimated that there are more than 300 million electric motors in the world being used in industry, infrastructure, and large buildings, with electric motor-driven systems (EMDS) accounting for between 43-46% of all global electricity consumption. Motors drive everything from processes, to commercial heating, ventilating, cooling, and refrigeration. With business productivity so dependent on them, it’s important that they’re properly protected.
In most jurisdictions, motor protection is mandatory, so OEM machine builders and electrical contractors will ensure that there is a circuit breaker used on each motor circuit. If the proper type of motor circuit breaker is selected, the motor will be adequately protected.
Unfortunately, there are many examples in which a standard electrical distribution circuit breaker was chosen for this purpose. These breakers are typically selected because they are lower cost. But they are designed to protect standard types of circuits and loads, not motors. If such a breaker is used, there is a very high risk of motor damage, disruption and downtime for the end-customer, and fire.
Here are five critical reasons behind why a dedicated motor circuit breaker should be used to protect a motor, not a distribution circuit breaker. Please note that, in some cases, I am referring to IEC standards and application, which may not be appropriate for use within NEC, CEC, or other standards jurisdictions.
1. Risk of nuisance tripping during motor startup
When a motor starts up, it draws current up to 10 times its rated value. This can last up to 30 seconds until it reaches its steady speed. Distribution circuit breakers typically have a magnetic threshold set at 8 times the rated current, or less. When current exceeds this threshold, the breaker identifies it as a short-circuit event on the distribution and trips immediately. For a motor, this type of overcurrent can simply represent regular starting up current. So you can see that a distribution circuit breaker used to protect a motor will very likely, and undesirably, trip when the motor starts up.
In contrast, dedicated motor circuit breakers are designed with their short-circuit trip threshold set much higher, usually 13 times the rated current. This avoids the risk of tripping during the motor startup phase.
To save money while avoiding the risk of tripping on motor startup, some contractors may select an overrated distribution circuit breaker, i.e. one with a higher threshold. Let’s use the example of a 7.5 kW motor with 16 A rated current, and startup current likely to reach 160 A. In this case, the contractor may choose a distribution circuit breaker rated at 25 A, with a magnetic threshold of around 200 A, so that motor startup will not immediately trip the circuit breaker. However, there is the serious risk if the motor becomes overloaded during regular operation, reaching a current of up to 24 A, the 25 A rated breaker will not trip and the motor will be in serious risk of being destroyed after only a couple of minutes.
Note that, in the next few years, IE3/IE4 high-efficiency motors will become mandatory in many regions. When using direct starters, these motors will have higher starting current that today’s motor designs. This will make it even more important to choose the correct type of circuit breaker to protect these motors.
2. Risk of nuisance tripping due to a transient overload
Electrical distribution circuit breakers are designed to protect cables. Their overload tripping times are set according to overcurrent withstand of cables, which is usually shorter than that of motors. So distribution breakers are likely to trip before the situation becomes dangerous for a motor. Keep in mind that motor protection relays, and dedicated motor electronic trip units, offer options to configure even slower overload protection for classes 10A, 10, 20, and 30.
3. Risk of nuisance tripping due to high ambient temperature
Most distribution circuit breakers are designed to operate under 30 °C, or in some cases under 40 °C. If ambient temperature exceeds this rating, the breaker will trip at a lower current than its rating, unnecessary interrupting a process.
In contrast, motor circuit breakers are set for operation under 60 °C, or optionally 65 °C. So, a 10 A rated motor circuit breaker, protecting a 10 A rated motor will not trip when current is 10 A and ambient temperature is 60 °C. In this way, machines and operations keep running while motors are still properly protected.
4. Risk of motor damage due to a phase fault
A phase fault can happen for many reasons: wiring errors after maintenance, loose connections, a utility phase loss, or even motor aging. Distribution circuit breakers are not equipped to trip in case of phase unbalance or phase loss, as these common conditions pose no hazard to distribution networks. But a phase fault is a critical event for motors, causing mis-operation (e.g. speed deviations) or the motor to overheat and eventually be damaged.
Motor circuit breakers are designed to trip when sensing a phase fault. This will occur after a couple of seconds when the motor is running at regular speed, or after only a few tenths of seconds when it’s starting up.
5. Risk of contactor damage and fire due to short-circuit
The international standard for safety of machinery, EN 60204-1, requires at least Type 1 coordination between a circuit breaker and a contactor, in the case of a short circuit. Distribution circuit breakers are usually not tested in coordination with contactors; therefore, there’s no performance guarantee of the combination. This means that if a short circuit occurs, the contactor can be destroyed and, worse, the amount of energy dissipated by the contactor during the interruption process can burn surround materials or ignite a fire.
With motor circuit breakers, short-circuit coordination can easily be selected: Type 1 ensuring no damage around the contactor, or Type 2 ensuring the contactor can still operate after the short-circuit event.
So you can clearly see, choosing a motor circuit breaker is critical to properly protecting motors and the installation. If you’re an OEM, you may not always know in what kind of environment your machines will be installed. To maintain your customer’s perception of quality, you need to ensure that your motors and machines are operating reliably under all conditions. During warranty periods and beyond, you need to make sure motors are protected while delivering the performance you promised. Having the right type of circuit breaker can be the difference between normal motor maintenance or costly substitution, and between continuous operation or costly disruption to your customer’s productivity, or even a catastrophic fire.

Eric Van Wonterghem has been making hard techno and rhythmic noise as Monolith since at least a couple years before “power noise” and “technoid” were coined as a descriptors, and his work under the alias has never wavered significantly. Even while working with Dirk Ivens on the second incarnation of the similarly minded Sonar, or the resurrection of their legendary Absolute Body Control project, Van Wonterghem has retained Monolith for his own specific brand of forceful beats, often eschewing crushing power for subtler and more textural swells and eddies.
2016’s Domination places Monolith directly in that wheelhouse, building rhythms from the ground up into full-fledged songs, carefully holding back and releasing energy to create mounting pressure. The earliest tracks of the album are especially adept at keeping the tension simmering, with the machinegun rattle of the title track giving away to the understated “Angel of Death” and the evolving arrangement of bass and drums that give “Bridges” a feeling of life and movement. Van Wonterghem doesn’t tend to place fast and loose with his kicks, keeping them near the center of his songs and locked to grid, with grooves built from the proximity of other instruments and sounds.
Occasionally the record takes a more explicitly atmospheric turn, like on “Baigari” where Indian instruments are sampled and looped around one another, with sharp edges born from lower bit rate sampling and saturation. It’s interesting stuff, but less arresting than when he applies similar compositional ideas to the beat-oriented pieces. Witness “Black Fire”, which keeps the tempo up and uses echoing rubbery percussion elements to create layers and textures that read as melody or rhythm depending on the angle at which they hit your ear. There’s a decent amount of trad power noise numbers here as well (“Reconstructed”, “The Bell Witch”): well-executed, but often acting as filler between some of Van Wonterghem more inspired efforts.
Really, the appeal of Domination is in hearing a genre loyalist (and some would argue progenitor) do the thing they do well. Some 20 years since he first started using the Monolith moniker, Eric Van Wonterghem is still making exploring what can be done with these sounds, and what stylistic additions and subtractions can do to renovate his own productions. In an age when industrialized techno and noise influenced music of all stripes seems more prevalent than ever, it’s good to see one of Our Thing’s old hands still working away at and perfecting his craft.

President Trump Expects His Meeting With Chinese President Xi At Mar-A-Lago Will Be A 'Very Difficult One'
Chinese President Xi Jinping (L) and US President Donald Trump © Reuters
Reuters: Trump says trade gap will make China meeting 'a very difficult one'
"We can no longer have massive trade deficits and job losses," he wrote, adding in apparent reference to U.S. firms manufacturing in China: "American companies must be prepared to look at other alternatives."
Read more ....
WNU Editor: President Trump is right. China is dependent on having a trade surplus with the U.S. to finance its growth .... and any alteration in this arrangement will have dire consequences on its future plans and on the promises that the government has made to its civilians that in exchange for social peace, they will have jobs and a better standard of living.
B.Poster said...
The type of "trade arrangement" China currently has with the US is unsustainable by the US. Sort of like $100 per barrel of oil, anyone staking their financial future on that price for oil deserved/deserves no sympathy when the price collapsed. As is with China, they deserve no sympathy when the whole thing collapses and takes their economy with it as will happen if current trade policies are allowed to continue.
While China is "dependent" upon the US market, the US is dependent upon "made in China." The US and China can work together to find constructive solutions to the current situation or they can continue the current path and when the whole thing collapses the economies of both countries can collapse. Since the Us is more dependent upon "made in China" than China is on "sold in USA", such a situation is more detrimental to the US than it is to China.
During negotiations "the dealmaker" will need to recognize China holds the high cards and is the stronger power. From this realization, a good deal is possible.
When "the dealmaker" won the election, I wondered here and elsewhere if the he could adjust to negotiating when his opponent has the advantage. From observation, it seemed to me that most of his deals in the past were negotiated when he held the high cards.
While the jury is still out so to speak on whether he can negotiate effectively when his position is weaker than that of the other side, so far the answer seems to be a resounding no he cannot adjust to being in a weaker position than the other side.
So far we haven't seen anything yet. We need to negotiate better trade agreements with China, we need to negotiate an end to Cold War II. and in each of these the American position is weak relative to those of Russia and China. With a recognition of reality good outcomes are possible. Failure to recognize reality seldom ends well.
Of course in the case of negotiating an end to Cold War II this is further complicated by the fact that certain officials in the US foolishly chose to back Ukraine, impose sanctions on Russia, and compounded things by pouring more fuel on the fire so to speak by obsessing over so called "connections" between team Trump and Russia and concocting tales of Russian interference in the US election. No wonder Russians hold us in utter contempt.
It's going to be EXTREMELY difficult to negotiate an end to this, in this environment. The alternative is to fight Cold War II where we are at a decisive disadvantage. Not only are we at a decisive disadvantage but there is no good reason for it!!

Purchasing a property in Nice made simple
Steps for you to buy an property, appartment or villa, in Nice
History of Nice
Around 400,000 years ago, primitive settlers had established themselves as the very first inhabitants of Nice settling in a cave known as the Grotte du Lazaret at the base of Mont Boron, fashioning weapons out of the native limestone rock. A display of prehistoric Nice can be seen in the Terra Amata museum (25, boulevard Carnot, Nice, 06300, telephone +33 4 93 55 59 93).
Nice did not receive its name until the 4th century BC when the Massaliotes (Greeks based in Marseilles, about 200km away) conquered the town in a memorable victory. They named it Nikaia, meaning “giver of victory”. They proceeded to establish it as an important commercial trading post.
The beginnings of the new town were established on the slopes of the
Chateau hillside. During this time period, Nice was a small stronghold which protected the port using its natural defenses – the Colline du Chateau – which now looks over the popular Old Town (Vieux Nice).
In 14BC, the Romans started to occupy Nice and built the town of Cemenelum on
top of Cimiez hill. For the following few centuries the area of Cimiez
became a strategic centre for the Roman military. In the 6th century
the wealth of the maritime merchants and the fall of the Roman Empire
brought the centre of power back into Nikaia. The ampitheatres and baths
can still be seen in Cimiez today, and even the olive groves date back to Roman times. In the heart of these remains is the Cimiez Archeological Museum (160, avenue des Arenes, Nice, 06000, telephone +33 (0)4 93 81 59 57).
During the dark ages, Nice was mainly controlled
by the Sarrasins, who managed to conquer the whole of eastern Provence
on the Cote des Maures. In 972 Guillaume, the Compte de Provence, took
control of the city and in 1176 the town first drew up its charter.
In 1543 a local washerwoman, Catherine Ségurane, became a legend by
repelling a Turkish fleet attacking the city. During the bombardment,
she gathered the other ladies and mouted the castle defences whereupon
the ladies exposed their backsides. This intimidated the Turkish fleet
into fleeing. Whilst walking through the Old Town
you may see a cannonball embedded in a wall. If you look below the
original Turkish cannonball you will see a dedication to Catherine
In the 17th century, the baroque look and feel of the Old Town
came into being. If you look above the doorways, many buildings have
their year of construction inscribed into the stone. The Lascaris Palace
Museum in the heart of Old Nice, 15 rue Droite, is a Genovan-style palace that shows the grandeur of this burgeoning time for Nice.
During this century the Cimiez Monastary was
constructed, which is still an active monastery today. The French army
razed the castle on the hill to the ground twice, and the area is still
known at the “Colline de Chateau” (hill of the
castle) even though none of the original castle remains. The Colline
does offer fantastic views over the entire bay of Nice all the way to the Var, and across the Port and all the way the other direction to the Cap. There is a lift on the end of the Promenade des Anglais for the more casual explorer.
Over the next century control of Nice swayed between France and
Sardinia, until 1860 when Napoleon III secured Nice for France with the
agreement of Victor-Emmanuel II, the then King of Sardinia who went on
to become the first king of a united Italy. Relations were further
cemented Napoleon’s brothers son Joseph married Victor-Emmanuel’s
daughter Marie Clothilde. This move was ratified by the population of Nice, though it is suspected that the French army posted at every polling station may have influenced the result.
It was during the 19th century that Nice became the darling of the rich and famous, as well as a magnet for artists. Queen Victoria used to spend her winters in Nice, and the Promenade des Anglais
was constructed for the English gentry to amble down, or take in the
beautiful sunsets at a faster trot in their carriages. Palm trees were
imported from Australia and buildings such as the impressive Opera House and Palais de Justice were constructed to make the resort the most opulent in Europe. It has been said that the light in Nice
looks different to everywhere else. This, the baroque architectures and
the wealthy patrons brought artists such as Van Gogh and Matisse areas
such as the Cours Saleya.
The strong transport links, and exceptional climate, has helped Nice
to retain its cache and it remains as popular as ever. It now lives in
the shadow of its neighbours Cannes and Monaco for the extremely wealthy
but successive mayors, including the influential Jean Medicin,
have ensured it has never been far behind its rivals. Nice has a
colourful and checkered past mayors, including Jacques Medecin who fled
to Uraguay before
being extradited and imprisoned for corruption. The current mayor is
Jacques Peyat, former National Front member and force behind Nice’s new
380m euros tramway due in 2006. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9387202858924866}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '20554', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:N7KS5MVCU7LGPV2767Y5METXM5STLKEW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:e03f96cb-dca6-41e7-894b-58dd45419dbf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 12, 20, 9, 37, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '95.211.73.14', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7DO33U7I2VOGDBFBPA2IXJLWVEJLAJF3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1ae135e2-c1f7-47e9-b661-1bcd5b8fecbb>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.medinheaven.co.uk/history-of-nice/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:53ed1857-e323-4667-82be-4d32c09437d1>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '871', 'url': 'http://www.medinheaven.co.uk/history-of-nice/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2013-48\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for Winter 2013\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': '0.034332454204559326', 'original_id': '63b00d8f75d5de0538d2b067638601e4cfb89b5e8a3bb655bcccf899d94b180b'} |
ValiRx led consortium awarded second Eurostars grant worth 1.6 million euro
British biopharmaceutical company Valirx and Finnish pharmaceutical research organization Pharmatest Services have recently been awarded a Eurostars grant worth 1.6 million euro. This Eurostars grant is ValiRX’s second under their research and development of VAL101 utilizing GeneICE. This latest round of funding is for clinical studies of VAL101.
The first Eurostars grant helped to develop a cancer combating system by researching further into the uses of GeneICE technologies. GeneICE will help target specific cancerous tumour types to reduce their impact and strength by targeting their rebellious gene expressions. Cancers like breast and prostate, but also diseases like leukemia are within the potential market for products developed with advances in GeneICE technology. The second Eurostars grant continues to affirm the technological progress it represents in biopharmaceuticals.
ValiRx Chief Executive Dr Satu Vainikka said, “I am delighted to see and grateful for continued support from the Eurostars programme. Their grant will substantially help progress our work on VAL101 and GeneICE, which will in turn we believe, build value”.

Best Ways to De-Wrinkle Clothes Fast Video
Put away the ironing board and try one of these fast solutions instead
What's the best way to get wrinkles out of your clothes? Good Housekeeping did a test to find out. </p> <p>Our goal with this test was to find the best way to de-wrinkle clothes to get you out of the house quickly and easily in the morning. So we tested four different methods. We used the steam from a shower. We tumbled them in a dryer. We sprayed them with a wrinkle releaser spray and we used a hand-held steamer. We tested each method and rated each method for how well they removed the wrinkles, how little work or how much time you had to invest, and how easy they were to do. For the clothes we hung in the shower, you can see wherever the steam hit, the wrinkles were removed, but unfortunately, it didn't get all the way down. For the clothes we took out of the dryer, it also helped. It removed some of the wrinkles, more from some fabrics than others, but not everything was wrinkle-free. </p> <p>The hand-held steamer was the most effective, but testers had to spend a half-hour using it. Our overall winner was the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Spray. It did a very good job of removing wrinkle, even from a tough fabric like this cotton blouse. And, while it's drying, you can go take a shower or make breakfast. I'm Elizabeth McGuire for Good Housekeeping Reports.

DNS Caching on Amazon AMIs
Recently encountered an issue with Elastic beanstalk where the application started giving error like "host not found or unreachable" while connecting to Redis cluster. First I thought it might be related to AWS scheduled maintenance but it was not started yet. On investigating further, the tested that the Redis cluster was live and was connecting from other instances.
On google, there was not much help available except one on amazon forum that amazon does restricts DNS requests after some limit and by default no DNS caching service is installed in Amazon AMIs.
After installing nscd, the issue was solved. I used the following .ebextensions/install-nscd.config to always install nscd and keep it running on any new instance added to the scaling group.
# these commands run before the application and web server are
# set up and the application version file is extracted.
nscd: []
enabled: true
ensureRunning: true
Lesson learnt, always install DNS caching service on amazon AMIs. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9250696897506714}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '64074', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:KAQUQFZVAXVZWPROBAOBGHOFYMQADWMJ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f9fcd6f9-59f3-40c2-92ee-297714e76c08>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 10, 21, 10, 51, 54), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.164.147', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:BGBEC27HY6BEFFKA6C6DI6EK4NV5MRBW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c633cbf0-b99e-4c77-8950-77bf5037078d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.ankitsharma.info/blog/dns-caching-on-amazon-amis', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:171a57c8-c7b1-4fd5-aaad-5c77d34e9c40>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '163', 'url': 'https://www.ankitsharma.info/blog/dns-caching-on-amazon-amis', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-43\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-24.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': '0.03532367944717407', 'original_id': '679bcfeea5446107d79f7d2c90ad90e7c4f762f679f48291c9be6b46df492bd4'} |

Rescue caught on camera after golden retriever breaks through ice over Ohio lake
MEDINA COUNTY, Ohio – An officer's body camera captured a team effort to save a family's pet dog after the pooch broke through the thin ice covering an Ohio lake.
A sergeant with the Medina County Sheriff's Office rushed to Lake Dawn in York Township Tuesday afternoon after the owner of a golden retriever named Rex reported that his dog had fallen into the frigid water.
Rex's family ran and asked a neighbor, Bill Devine, for help. Devine grabbed a canoe, attached it to a rope on shore and pushed it out to the thin ice.
He and the dog owner's husband, who had just arrived home from work, were able to pull Rex out of the water, where he had been struggling to stay afloat.
But, they still had to figure out a way to get the dog to shore without falling through the ice themselves.
Knowing that he and the other two rescuers were in a precarious position, Sgt. Samo Mernik picked up Rex and put the retriever in the canoe, and helped push the canoe to shore.
The dramatic rescue was caught on the deputy's body camera.
Sgt. Mernik and Bill Devine knew that Rex was still in danger. Their priority was to keep hypothermia from setting in.
They wrapped him in blankets and then carried him inside the owner's house. To keep Rex warm, they placed him by a space heater and fed him a bowl of broth.
A day later, as a result of their efforts, Rex has been given a clean bill of health. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '20', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9800300598144532}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '91189', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5GCW56SXLVAX26OABVI2EFFUT64LE46F', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a12682e6-1314-46a2-ad14-86789b52e9ee>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 23, 9, 59), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.79.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:T372KKR54SMHZ3OZBKQSK4RV3VMSN27B', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2a2747bf-df5d-4af8-8efc-b11be72e3648>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://fox2now.com/2018/01/11/rescue-caught-on-camera-after-golden-retriever-breaks-through-ice-over-ohio-lake/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:13a4aff8-a2c8-4a8d-8671-28d32faf70b6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '305', 'url': 'https://fox2now.com/2018/01/11/rescue-caught-on-camera-after-golden-retriever-breaks-through-ice-over-ohio-lake/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-140-252-72.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': '0.120383620262146', 'original_id': '111e1212048fc7b97bf96e1f31a94199a27da83b9da0f6b6d87ff982caef5ca8'} |
“I’m calling it ‘a bathtub series not by Ricky Gervais but by me,’” the “Mad Men” star captioned her first snap on Tuesday. “This one is called ‘fake sleeping in a tub without a cat.’ #gotoffworktooearlytoday.”
Although that photo was perfectly peaceful, the two subsequent photos of the 37-year-old got creepy.
A post shared by January Jones (@januaryjones) on Nov 3, 2015 at 4:38pm PST
“2nd one in the series titled: ‘How far under I could get without dropping my phone in the tub or on my face… sans cat,” she captioned another image.
The third post delivered an equally eerie feel. “#3 titled: ‘looking at a picture of Ricky Gervais and his cat while I’m in the tub’ #sorryifimgettingtooheavyforsomeofyounonartpeople,” read the final picture.
Although Gervais, 54, is known for his hosting abilities and comedic talent, he’s increasingly becoming synonymous with odd and unflattering bathtub selfies. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '391e918c080ed964fefaded9f7027452da67ce5874e73442675e1e70e527c7d5'} |

Actress Mariska Hargitay honored at the New York Women in Film & Television 32nd Annual Muse Awards at the New York Hilton on Dec. 13in New York. / Evan Agostini Evan Agostini/Invision/AP
Mariska Hargitay isn't afraid to flaunt her curves. The actress sat down with Ladies' Home Journal for their March issue (out Feb. 12) to talk about everything from confidence and motherhood to plastic surgery to accepting compliments. Some highlights from the chat:
On confidence: "I wasn't always confident. I spent most of my 20s having people say no to me. I'd go to auditions and the casting directors would be like: You're not tall enough, you're not pretty enough, you're not blonde enough, your nose is too big, your nose is too small, your skin is too dark, your skin is too light, change your name! There was so much rejection. I didn't work for eight years."
How other women can feel more comfortable in their own skin: "I'm a big believer that your word is your wand. You know how people say things like, "Oh my gosh, I'm such an idiot." I don't say those things anymore. Those put-downs, even if they're in jest, are little bullets of negativity that you don't need in your life."
On accepting compliments: "I find it so upsetting when I try to pay a compliment to a friend and instead of taking it she puts herself down. I'll say, "I like your shirt!" And she'll say: "This? It's so old." We feel the need to dismiss a compliment and make it less than one. Take the moment. Take it in. Focus on your gifts."
On getting older: "Things are sagging a bit-I'm not going to lie. But am I going to be upset about the sag or am I going to look at my three gorgeous kids and my husband and count my lucky stars?"

Thoughts on polemics, Audre Lorde, and Do the Right Thing
Radical black feminist writer and activist Audre Lorde found productive potential in anger. According to Lester Olson, in his article “Anger among allies”: “Lorde distinguished between anger and hatred, and she salvaged the former as potentially useful and generative” (p. 287). Lorde’s distinction between anger and hatred is developed in a quote from her remarks: “Hatred is the fury of those who do not share our goals, and its object is death and destruction. Anger is a grief of distortions between peers, and its object is change” (p. 298).
In a quote from her address titled “The Uses of Anger,” Lorde uses the metaphor of the virus to describe hatred:
This thematic link between hatred and disease is also present in Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing. While the film’s characters never state the distinction between anger and hatred as explicitly as Lorde does, the film makes many associations that establish a difference between the two. The action of the film takes place in a roughly 24 hour period, during the hottest day of the summer in Brooklyn, New York. The temperature is referenced throughout the film, and the link between the heat and character’s emotions is made early on. Anger is associated with heat: characters talk about “getting hot” as a euphemism for getting angry. By extension then, the hottest day of the summer could also be understood as the angriest.
Hatred, on the other hand, is continually linked with sickness and disease. Early in the film, when pizzeria owner Sal arrives with his two sons to start business for the day, his son Pino says of the pizza shop:
“I detest this place like a sickness.”
Sal admonishes his son, saying: “That sounds like hatred.”
This connection returns at the end of film, again in front of Sal’s Famous Pizzeria, which at this point has been reduced to a smoldering shell. Mookie seeks Sal out to ask for the wages he is due from the previous week’s labor. Angrily, Sal throws $500 in $100 bills at Mookie, twice as much as he is owed. Mookie leaves $200 on the ground, telling Sal that he only wants what he has earned. There is a stalemate as the two men stare off, the $200 between them, and each of them waiting for the other to pick it up. Apparently not understanding why Mookie would leave the money lying on the ground Sal asks him:
“Are you sick?”
Mookie replies: “I’m hot as a motherfucker; I’m alright, though.”
Mookie’s response here should not be understood merely as a comment about the weather. Yes, he is hot because of the summer heat, but the associations presented by the film make clear the deeper meaning of this exchange. Mookie is angry, angry as a motherfucker; having endured the ordeal of the hottest day of the summer, culminating in his throwing a trashcan through a shop window, and now he finds himself the following day with his various responsibilities still in place, but now without a source of income. But he does not hate Sal. He is not infected by hatred. He is not sick.
If the film associates hatred with sickness and disease, how does it relate or portray love? The radio DJ character, Mister Senor Love Daddy, seems like an obvious connection. Another important component is the name of Senor Love Daddy’s radio station: We Love Radio 108 (“Last on your dial, first in your heart.”). The name of the radio station not only presages Clear Channel Communications’ eventual rebranding to I Heart Radio (kidding, of course), it also establishes a connection between love and another of the film’s characters: Radio Raheem.
Radio Raheem is arguably the character most closely associated with the concepts of love and hate. Raheem has custom brass knuckles on each hand: the word “LOVE” on his right hand, and the word “HATE” on his left. Through the presence of these words on his knuckles, and his performance of the accompanying story about the struggle between love and hate, “the story of life,” Radio Raheem recalls Reverend Harry Powell from the 1955 film Night of the Hunter. Reverend Powell has the words “love” and “hate” tattooed on his knuckles: love on the right hand, and hate on the left. He also tells “the story of life,” which, although using different language than Raheem, tells essentially the same account of a struggle between hate and love, where hate has the upper hand for a while but is eventually beat out by love.
In Night of the Hunter, Reverend Powell’s performance of pious geniality conceals a dark secret: he is a serial killer, traveling the country seducing widows whom he soon murders before absconding with what wealth he can steal. In Do the Right Thing, Radio Raheem is not revealed to be a serial killer, but he is done in by a sort of serial killing: the recurring killing of men of color perpetrated by police officers. The characters of the film react to Raheem’s death in a personal way (“They killed Radio Raheem!”), but it is clearly also a reaction to this serial killing of black men that contributes to the crowd’s reaction (someone is heard exclaiming, “They did it again!”).
A final question: Is Do the Right Thing a polemic? I find it interesting to consider the question in light of the definitions offered by various authors. In her article on Larry Kramer’s polemical form, Erin Rand writes of polemics:
“Hence, polemics refute dominant ideologies and modes of thinking by rejecting the primacy of reason an invoking explicitly moral claims. In polemics a moral position is not simply advanced through rhetoric, but morality actually does rhetorical work.” (p. 305)
Rand traces the meaning of “polemic” to the Greek polemikos, meaning “warlike”, and when Lee’s film was released many reviewers and commentators were concerned that it amounted to a call for violence. I am not sure the film satisfies Rand’s four elements of rhetorical form, but I do believe it satisfies the rhetorical move that Olson calls shifting subjectivities:
“An advocate articulates a shift in the second persona of an address, wherein the auditors or readers occupy one kind of role initially and then, drawing on what is remembered or learned from that position, are repositioned subsequently into a different role that is harder for them to recognize or occupy, but that might possess some transforming power.” (p. 284)
As film critic Roger Ebert recounted in an essay about the film:
“Many audiences are shocked that the destruction of Sal’s begins with a trash can thrown through the window by Mookie (Lee), the employee Sal refers to as “like a son to me.” Mookie is a character we’re meant to like. Lee says he has been asked many times over the years if Mookie did the right thing. Then he observes: “Not one person of color has ever asked me that question.” But the movie in any event is not just about how the cops kill a black man and a mob burns down a pizzeria. That would be too simple, and this is not a simplistic film. It covers a day in the life of a Brooklyn street, so that we get to know the neighbors, and see by what small steps the tragedy is approached.”
Some critics and audience members objected to what they interpreted as Lee’s call for violence, and at least an implicit approval of property destruction. We heard similar rhetoric last year, when protests in response to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner became characterized by media emphasis on incidents of property damage and looting. The state response to protests is always characterized by a tolerance so long as demonstrations are peaceful and “civil,” and when this line is broached it functions to demonize and dismiss the “protestors” at large. Is this not evocative of the white woman who purportedly said to Audre Lorde, “Tell me how you feel, but don’t say it too harshly or I cannot hear you”?

Who is Tim in 'House of Cards'? A relic from Underwood's past comes back to haunt him.
House of Cards' fifth season dropped on Netflix Tuesday. And in these new episodes, a person from President Frank Underwood's past is brought back into the plot: Tim. In episode eight of season one, viewers are introduced to Tim when Frank goes to Charleston, South Carolina, to be honored by their alma mater The Sentinel. During this episode, it is revealed Tim and Frank were were not only friends, but also lovers while they were both attending the military school.
In season five's second episode, Tim has reportedly gone missing. During a visit to New York City, Claire holds a terrorism-related press conference with the city's mayor in the subway. There, she runs into Frank and Tim’s college friend, Ken, who informs her that Tim — the owner of a rafting company — has been gone for two days after going out on the Arkansas River.
Claire advises Frank on his friend Tim's disappearance in season five.
Source: Netflix/YouTube
&quot;I thought for sure the president would’ve heard," Ken tells Claire. "I can’t imagine how Frank’s gonna take this."
But Claire believes Ken has a hidden agenda and will reveal Tim and Frank's past romantic involvement to the public.
Later, Claire returns to Washington to tell Frank about her conversation with Ken and reveal her hunch about not trusting him. Apparently, he reached out to Frank for help with regard to his business, but Frank had not returned his calls. Claire asks Frank why he hadn't called Ken, implying he now has a reason to turn his back on Frank.
With Tim back into the fold just two episodes into season five, viewers are wondering how his disappearance will impact the president as the season goes on, leading to an unexpected conclusion that shifts the plot entirely.

== Tracing back the clock of life… TEN billion years? ==
Has the complexity of life been increasing along a path similar to Moore's Law? If you trace-back the doublings of integrated circuit complexity, halving the number of transistors per chip every 18 months (Moore's Law) you get to zero around 1970… pretty much when it all started. A similar back extrapolation was done with Hubble's Law, way back in the 1930s when the expansion of the universe was discovered, giving an early estimate for the Big Bang that was correct within an order of magnitude. Now scientists have done the same thing with the expansion of the genome. And although this is only one possible measure of life-complexity, this particular trace-back yields shocking results. See: Moore's Law and the Complexity of Life in Technology Review.
If you discount the vast tracts of "redundant" DNA in mammalian chromosomes, then the log curve plots straight back in time, past eukaryotes and prokaryotes, to suggest that life had its origins… almost ten billion years ago. Since the Earth itself is less than five billion years old, this suggests that either:
(TimeReborn1) life began de novo on Earth (the standard model) and then had a phase of exceptionally rapid genome growth (akin to the inflationary phase of expansion that some say followed the Big Bang), or
(2) life began elsewhere and was seeded on the early Earth, in accordance with the Panspermia Theory of Arrhenius, and later Hoyle and Wickramasinghe. (As well as Heart of the Comet.)
An altogether fascinating prospect, either way.
== Science and the Spirit of Innovation ==
See 27 sci fi things that are coming true. Such as a robot that can navigate an obstacle course, spray on skin, invisibility cloaks, 3-D printing of houses, chimera monkeys made from several embryos, artificial leaves, new, cheaper solar cells, and exoskeletons!
Yet, are any of these advances as epochal as breakthroughs of the past? Has the engine of our innovation broken down? The incredible stodginess of Hollywood, these days, with remakes of remakes, is only matched by the stunning "me-too" notions seen in most net-web startups. I run into it all the time.
HowAmericansEvery decade since 1940 has seen the United states and its economy swayed by two major forces - a vast trade deficit that wound up being the great driver of world development, raising billions out of poverty around the world... and a wave of made-in-america innovative products and services that generated enough wealth to pay for it all. From jet planes to rockets and satellites; from telecom and pharmaceuticals and fiber optics to xerography, CCDs and the internet, these breakthroughs came in rapid succession and enabled us to buy trillions of dollars worth of crap we never needed, thus uplifting the world.
That is, till the first decade of the 21st Century, when much of this engine stalled. Is it simplistic to blame it on social matters like the culture war against science, waged especially hard during the Bush Administration? Of course that was a factor, at a time when extremes of both right and left preach cynical disbelief in the possibility of technology serving us in its traditional, problem-solving role.
That attitude is opposed by (among others) President Obama, who mentions sci-tech more often in speeches than any two other presidents, combined. But there has to be more to it than that. A component that drives deeper than politics.
This article in the Economist, Has the ideas machine broken down? tries for perspective… and at least succeeds in offering background.

A thoughtful, brief article about the prospect of uplifting animal intelligence appeared recently in the Boston Globe, By Emily Anthes.
uBiomeAn absolute must-read about the importance of the next frontier in biology and medicine, the Micro-Biome ecosystem of bacteria and microbes who inhabit the human gut, skin, mouth etc. Aldous Huxley wrote about this in a great novel 80 years ago. Today, both doctors and quacks are touting both real and fantasy cures that might arise from tailoring or re-building these symbiotic networks that are often wiped out or thrown into imbalance by excessive use of antibiotics. Reinforcing the old saw that one generation's brilliant "solution" winds up creating new problems that the next generation must deal with. So it goes. (Get your own personal microbiome analyzed at

Still, knowing which neurons are active in inhibition/addiction control could be of great value and there are other (e.g. magnetic) ways to have similar effects.
==Science and Society==
SavoyOne of the latest TED talk sensations is Allan Savory, who has spent his life combatting desertification, and who now believes we've had it all wrong for two generations. He claims that deserts are prevented, rather than created, by large herds of grazing animals. His presentation is worth watching and the re-evaluation that he triggers is delicious to my contrarian mind! On the other hand, it isn't hard for me to do a second, ornery veer and say "yes… but!"
Oh so many buts. Like the fact that vast deserts clearly grew as human pastoralists were able to protect their herds from predators. Overgrazing is just as much a threat as undergrazing and Savory's technique requires the transient passage of large/dense herds of grazers, who stomp and fertilize an area without denuding it. A cavil that will require either intense supervision and daily management… or a return to predator-dense situations that keep the herds packed and moving. Moreover the grasslands that he has restored are anything but "healthy" ecosystems in their own right. Improved, but still denuded of trees by the very herbivore herds that Savory extolls. For true health you need at least partial coverage by trees, and that takes active management too, in order to protect them from the herbivores, like cattle, elephants and giraffes.
Finally, Savory's method emphasizes vast herds of cattle that are burdensome in their own right. One of the hopeful prospects on our horizon will be vat grown meat. If it can satisfy our appetites at three pounds of grain per pound of meat, then there will be more food and hope in the world, at far lower Karmic cost. I will not let go of that hope… though I appreciate Savory's input of an eye-opening realization. One that will do good! Just let's not get carried away.

== Smart Mobs and the Boston Bombings ==
Just one quick comment amid the mid-April terror crisis that has become all-too familiar in recent years. Evidently the FBI gets it and has called out a "smart mob"… or at least asked for public help identifying potential culprits in the Boston bombing from street video footage. All may change, by the time this blog is posted, so I am putting off making my own appraisal. But this could be a seminal moment, when all of society came to realize… we'll be better off when all citizens share in the power to see.

Regarding the origin of life, PZ Myers throws a heap of cold water on the "study". They left out any data that disagreed with their conclusion. See here.
Matt G. said...
The commentator my favorite radio station had to talk about the smart mob phenomenon for Boston (how the smart mob effort paralleled the police effort) tried his hardest to raise FUD with respect to the danger of false positives.
I guess he couldn't imagine a self-editing/filtering structure would develop, and that any results should be taken with a heap of salt until one could be put in place by the smart mob.

Ah yes, the "Things I Won't Work With" blog. Full of explosion-y goodness.
If I can get vat-meat that tastes as good as, and close to the same price or cheaper than farmed, I have no qualms about switching. We had a discussion the other night, DH idly wondering if vegetarians and/or vegans could eat vat-meat. And would they?
efitab: the other other white meat!
Justin said...
One kid - you can find his name easily enough but I'd rather not repeat it - and his family experienced more than their fair share of terror when he was fingered by the "smart mob" as a possible suspect (or whatever weasel words the redditors are using in place of "suspect" in order to avoid accepting any responsibility for fingering an innocent guy). A result which was immediately picked up and printed by a Rupert Murdock paper, of course. Said paper is also rejecting the notion that it should retract the story that printed that kid's picture since, hey, they didn't print the word "suspect."
The striking thing to me in this case isn't the methodology of the smart mob. Anyone who has ever worked in a large, loose organization on a technical problem can picture how that all functioned. The striking thing is the reminder of how much a mob - smart or otherwise - really is a big, amoral, dangerous machine which facilitates diffusion of responsibility.
My sense in chatting with a few of the redditors (who I hope aren't representative of the whole) is that, if some redneck vigilante had assassinated that kid before he went and talked to the police, the redditors would have felt no responsibility for causing that outcome whatsoever. In their view it is someone else's fault for using what they created the wrong way, for reprinting it, for misunderstanding. It's certainly not their fault for scaring innocent people. If they're innocent, why should they be frightened? And so on.
David Brin said...
The word "smart" in "smart mob" is supposed to distinguish it from the ugly mob of tradition. I do not claim we will enter that world smoothly and without dismal acts & injustices. What I assert is that the only way we will develop and immune system against dismal acts and injustices is by moving ahead and empowering the innocent to call up possees of their own.
David Brin said...
MaDLibrarian... by coincidence at the NASA NIAC meeting biologist Penny Boston told me she would stop being a vegetarian the instant vat grown meat was proved and finished jumping all the needed hurdles. I am sure millions would agree and other millions disagree. But I do know that a generation later, those who eat flesh that had walked and thought will be in steep decline and then grow scarce.
(BTW I know chickens walk. I am just not convinced they think. Pigs on the other hand? Their descendants will sue our descendants.. Reason enough to leave em be.

Rather amusing to read David's defence of smart mob startup issues wrt 'diffusion of responsibility'! Not easy to avoid phrasing a response in a way that doesn't prove the point!
Pigs suing hogscoffing humans? Maybe, although I haven't heard of anyone taking certain Maori populations to task.
Perhaps some porcine time travellers will go back and help establish the Kosher food laws?

Thanks again for another posting full of good links. I bookmarked the chemistry guy after reading it.
On innovation, I think of Arthur Clarke's tales of the White Hart, defining a sort of bull session among educated people, and imagine Arthur himself participating in some such real milieu at some point during WWII. A good creative stewpot yet involving alcohol, a seemingly counterintuitive idea. I wonder if increasing suppression of marijuana among the midlevel production people (by threat of random testing) has any effect on slowdown of innovation?
Also, I remain unconvinced that there is a dearth of low-hanging fruit to pick. I am pretty sure the next, or one of the next, really big deals in physics, will be along the lines of Einstein's simple thought experiment(s). Some crazy thing which no one followed deep enough. Who is Rafael Bombelli?

You can have a pound of meat for zero pounds of grain right now. It's called grass fed beef. You just have to cook it slower if you don't want it to taste terrible. Those omega 3 oils from the green stuff don't take searing temperatures well.
You might have a look at what Joel Salatin has been doing with meat animals to restore soil in Virginia as well.

A small part of our food problems could be resolved with RESPONSIBLE hunting of overpopulated deer and other game animals in some locations. The natural predators are gone, and deer are reproducing madly, putting pressure on their food supply (even in parks and forest reserves), and getting into places that cause trouble like suburban yards, freeways, and ecological preserves. They also were introduced in places for sport hunting, and the Law of Unintended Consequences took over.
incyil: synthetic venison -- yum!
Randy Winn said...
"... RESPONSIBLE hunting of overpopulated deer and other game animals in some locations..."
Here in Seattle, we have a BIG problem with wild geese. They eat too much, poop too much and just don't die. The logical thing to do is figure out some sort of hunting season so that those who are so inclined can covert an appropriate fraction to food. It wouldn't cost anything since there are people who would pay for the privilege. We could even insist they use non-toxic shot (lead's bad for us all) and other details like how to accomplish this in an urban environment, but the real reason it hasn't happened is because geese are cute. Thank goodness it's not swans!
Paul451 said...
Hunting by humans with rifles doesn't replicate hunting by natural predators. When being hunted by lions/etc, the best defence is tight herds (which requires constant movement to fresh ground, which is what prevents long term overgrazing).
With humans, the best strategy is to stay away from easily spotted groups. Wrong behaviour for the desired effect.
Maybe hunted by humans with short knives?

Regards Boston.
No doubt David is just about to start a new thread on the topic....I always get around to posting a day late!
Cameras a'plenty did speed up the resolution of the case, or if it is still ongoing has advanced the matter.
Many things went right. There are so many vulnerable targets out there but in this instance there was a remarkably active and capable response from health care workers. First aid tent right there and perhaps the best medical system on earth minutes away.
I will give Officials from local on up a B plus. The right things were done and said pretty much on cue.
Two areas that demand attention.
If the FBI interviewed one of these guys in 2011 why did it take so long to ID him? I hope the failure to pick him out as a threat was simple human error not political correctness (as in the Fort Hood case). But seriously, the street photos of the suspects should have been of decent enough quality to compare to file photos of every guy the Boston branch interviewed in recent times. It can't be thousands and hundreds is doable in an hour...where did this get screwed up?
There are some media figures who should be fired. I do not care if it is done for incompetence or bias. But listening to NPR in early hours all you heard was speculation about tax protesters, Tea Partyers and Patriot Day.
Conservative media generally said it could be damn near anybody but the MO sure sounds like jihadi wannabees.
Even now you can read entire articles without seeing any of the Forbidden Words.
I know, when talking heads do not have facts they just blather. See above provision regards incompetence..

I am very glad I don't have television news. I filtered the level of bullshit by reading online news reports and when it started going over-the-top hitting the little X button to close it. Though what I found amusing was someone started going on about how this was why we shouldn't allow immigration reform... and was hit by a graphic of a half dozen U.S.-born children and young men who had killed far more people with their own attacks on schools and the like.
The truth is that people will use events like this to affirm their own beliefs and opinions, no matter what the truth of the matter. We as intelligent readers and viewers need to learn how to bypass our own prejudices and preconceptions and also find a way to determine which news articles are the least slanted and most likely to provide an accurate look at things.
Oh, and stop the damn "Challenger Syndrome" of repeating the damn explosion over and over and over and over again. Sheesh!
Jim Baca said...
Allen Savory is an interesting man. When I served as State Land Commissioner he converted me to his way of thinking. The problem is that most ranchers are poor managers who simply don't have the ability to manage such an intensive systems. They also don't want to change.
And sadly well educated youngsters from ranching families don't want any part of the business. They leave for, ahem, greener pastures.
Randy Winn said...
As a practical matter, we just might be firing the media ... at least the paid media. For better or worse, lots of us pretty much ignore the TV these days.
Tony Fisk said...
Interesting contrast to that described by Jim Baka. Different strategy, but Ray Thomas is actively being sought out by farmers in NE Vic. who are concerned by the changes in their landscapes due to widespread death of paddock trees. Turns out the main cause is well manured but isolated trees being eaten to death by insects whose predators have no understorey to shelter in.

Trump's Tax Overhaul May Force Israel to Follow Suit
Finance Minister Kahlon would prefer helping the middle class, but the Trump corporate tax cut may force to him act otherwise

Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon is a skilled and sophisticated politician, but when it comes to anything connected with economic policy he adheres to a simple principle: How much money can we give back to the public?
He discovered the magic of lowering the cost of living five years ago when he was communications minister and ordered reforms of the cellular market that lowered rates by the tens of percent and made it easier for new companies to compete.
Since then he has tried to repeat his earlier success. There was the Family Net program, which reduced duties and purchase taxes on baby clothing, shoes and cellphones and subsidized afternoon programs for children. Then there was Machir LMishtaken, in which the government effectively subsidized land costs to bring down housing prices.
Now there is Mondays Net Reductions program to eliminate customs and purchase taxes on a wide variety of consumer products – some 800 million shekels ($227 million) in potential savings for ordinary Israelis.
You can hardly say an unkind word about a finance minister who wants to lower duties and the purchase tax on electronics, apparel, lighting fixtures and bring down the cost of living in the process. But there are a couple of points everyone should be paying attention to before they sing his praises.
1. The savings from eliminating customs and purchase taxes is supposed to be passed on to the consumer, but they are likely to get stopped along the way in the pockets of importers, The treasurys solution is to frame them as an emergency order for one year. If at the end of the year, the consumer isnt seeing lower prices, the orders will be rescinded. That should be a warning to importers who are thinking of exploiting the situation. Officials had thought about lowering duties on air conditioners but didnt because the market is concentrated and the risk that the savings wouldnt be passed on were too big.
2. Kahlon has worked hand to create the image of a finance minister who thinks about the cost of living for ordinary Israelis. There are a lot of ways to accomplish this and playing with the purchase tax is among the easiest. There are harder ways to do it, too, like undertaking reforms, making the public sector more efficient, reducing red tape and regulation and investing in innovation and productivity. But that involves battling vested interests and Kahlon doesnt want to fight them.
3. Lowering customs is supposed to boost the economy by boosting consumer spending. But economists think the better way to foster economic growth is via exports and investment. The Israeli economy doesnt have a consumer-spending problem; the figure has grown sharply in recent years thanks to low unemployment and interest rates.
4. There has been no shortage of talk about Kahlons problem of excess government revenues in the last few months and what to do with them. Most of the discussion is moot: The excess will go to paying down government debt and only a small part will be given back to the public. Net Reduction was just the first installment, The next, more complicated one is how Israel should respond to the planned cut in the U.S. corporate tax to 20% from 35%. Kahlon would prefer tax cuts for the middle class and small business, but Trump is upsetting his plans by forcing Israel to match the U.S. A tax cut for big companies will dwarf everything Kahlon did today. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9689341187477112}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '279477', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:O6JBKPYESUDAAYQI2IWCPOGOX7KS2WEV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:51fbd413-4d7f-4a87-b916-1c24ddfe5c7b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 23, 3, 51, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.202.217', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:3S5RCNVRQMDSHUDN3BSWALLXISZSO54F', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:272b78fa-b325-4f1e-b167-dcc18a906b3f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.haaretz.com/trump-s-tax-overhaul-may-force-israel-to-follow-suit-1.5628425', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e86684da-3f8c-46b7-be65-c9048b8facf4>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '624', 'url': 'https://www.haaretz.com/trump-s-tax-overhaul-may-force-israel-to-follow-suit-1.5628425', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-25\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-37.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': '0.07159650325775146', 'original_id': '40abe11688f8f3abb6b1552162ff2977f832c367d65186eb0b0491755de56136'} |
Q:
What is/are the java/javascript equivalent methods for commands in Selenium
Today is my 2nd day playing with selenium. Out of curiosity, is there a site with selenium commands and their equivalent javascript/java method?
I'm trying to create a jmeter test where it takes a Webdriver sampler and executes it. I got some commands from this site. About halfway down, they showed how selenium captured data can be converted to WebDriver format (screenshot below) )
This is a screenshot of my working "script" from selenium.
I had tried the sample commands/scripts from this website here and they worked. However, I couldn't get my cmds from my script working because I couldn't figure out the equivalent js/java method to use. For example, I have a "waitforElementPresent" command in my "script". However, I couldn't find a waitforElementPresent or a addSelection method in the api (link found here).
Is there a site out there that shows us which methods to use for which selenium command? Am I crazy and shouldn't be doing exploratory exercises like this? Thanks in advance for your help.
A:
There is even easier way:
Open your recorded testcase in Selenium IDE'
Click File - Export TestCase As...
Select desired language in which you want to learn (my assumption is Java - JUnit 4 - Webdriver)
Open the file in your peferred IDE or text editor
You will see all steps transferred into code, with it correct equivalents

\section{Combination Theorem for Continuous Functions/Complex/Multiple Rule}
Tags: Combination Theorems for Continuous Functions
\begin{theorem}
Let $\C$ denote the complex numbers.
Let $f$ and $g$ be complex functions which are continuous on an open subset $S \subseteq \C$.
Let $\lambda \in \C$ be an arbitrary complex number.
Then:
:$\lambda f$ is continuous on $S$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By definition of continuous, we have that
:$\forall c \in S: \ds \lim_{z \mathop \to c} \map f z = \map f c$
Let $f$ tend to the following limit:
:$\ds \lim_{z \mathop \to c} \map f z = l$
From the Multiple Rule for Limits of Complex Functions, we have that:
:$\ds \lim_{z \mathop \to c} \paren {\lambda \map f z} = \lambda l$
So, by definition of continuous again, we have that $\lambda f$ is continuous on $S$.

What is Penal Code 459 and How is it Defended?
(0) Comment | by
California Penal Code 459 is defined as any person who enters a property with the intent to steal or cause harm. Often referred to as breaking and entering, Penal Code 459 encompasses any act where prosecution believes the defendant entered the property with the specific intent of committing a crime. In fact, this charge can stand even when the defendant didn’t actually break into a locked commercial or residential building. While there are many specifics that determine the route in which prosecution builds there case, an effective law firm breaks down this situation to determine the true nature of the crime.
Examples of Commercial and Residential Burglary
While specific scenarios in which the defendant can be charged with burglary may dramatically vary, the following examples are common:
• Breaking into a locked store or home with the intent of stealing items, such as electronics or jewelry.
• Entering an unlocked residence, such as through an opened garaged door, and stealing any item.
• Entering a department store during normal operation hours with the intent of shoplifting a specific or non-specific item.
• Walking into a banking establishment with the intent to cash a check that is known to be fraudulent.
• Entering a commercial workplace with the intent of assaulting an employee or customer.
• Breaking a vehicle window to steal the radio or some other item found within the locked car.
Legal Defense Stances for Penal Code 459 Charges
Although the law firm representing a case will take all necessary steps to clarify the true intent of the charge and actions resulting in your arrest, the following are common defense stances your legal team may take:
• Distraction Upon Leaving the Property – If you were caught leaving a commercial retail store without paying for an item, your lawyer must determine whether or not you were of sound mind. For example, you had every intention to pay for the item, but due to a text message, e-mail or phone conversation, you became too distracted and accidentally left the premises without paying. Other forms of distraction may include having to deal with an unruly child or having a physical emergency, such as needing medications or needing to seek emergency care due to a spontaneous injury or flare-up of an existing medical condition. Often times, security footage supports these claims as it shows the defendant being distracted upon exiting the property.
• Emotional Trauma – Emotional trauma is a reasonable cause for accidental theft. For example, you were just diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, such as cancer. In your highly emotional state, you took an item and absentmindedly exited the property. Your legal defense team should be more than capable to defend your actions as your mind was too busy pondering the consequences of your emotional state rather than thinking about proper shopping protocol.
• Misunderstanding Between Shop Owner and Defendant – In some cases, the defendant did not enter and leave the property with an intent to commit a crime as he believed the shop owner or employee had given him permission to leave without paying.
Defending Penal Code 459 Charges
Defending Penal Code 459 charges requires a law firm dedicated to uncovering true intent and preventing fraudulent convictions. Along with the aforementioned defense stances, your lawyer must guide your trial by revealing false and true intents while calling upon evidence and witnesses to support the truth of your case. Our law firm is dedicated to uncovering this truth, and we work tirelessly to ensure your innocence is upheld and all evidence delivered by the prosecution is void of falsehoods and fraudulent claims.

Identification and characterization of the miniature pig Huntington's disease gene homolog: evidence for conservation and polymorphism in the CAG triplet repeat.
Huntington's disease (HD) is associated with a significant expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat, which results in a lengthened polyglutamine tract in the single gene product, huntingtin, on human 4p16.3. We isolated cDNA clones that encompassed the entire coding sequence of the miniature pig HD gene (Sus HD) from two porcine testis cDNA libraries. The cDNA contig revealed a 12,749-nucleotide transcript coding for a 345-kDa protein (3139 amino acid residues), which exhibited 96% peptide sequence homology to human huntingtin. Northern blot analysis revealed that the Sus HD gene was ubiquitously expressed as two large transcripts of approximately 11 and 13 kb in size in all the tested tissues, much like the human HD gene. The CAG trinucleotide repeat was found to be interrupted by CAA triplets and to encode 17 or 18 consecutive glutamine residues. In our laboratory stock of miniature pig, three allotypes in the triplet repeat sequence were found. Thus, the Sus HD gene closely resembles its human counterpart in terms of sequence and expression pattern. In particular, human-miniature pig similarities in the normal length of the CAG triplet repeat as well as its repeat-number polymorphism may indicate that miniature pig would provide a good animal model for Huntington's disease. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b13f07a120bce2b5d9aa0f92f93cd4f76d817b5ee2a46d029173bbd4c5f7009d'} |

Country diary: the woods are in disarray after the storm
Wenlock Edge, Shropshire As twitchy birds forage along the hedges, an almost path through the fallen trees leads to an ominous discoveryThis is a searching time. Blackbirds examine the ivy berries like jewel thieves. Thrushes poke through the mown grass of the Gaskell recreation ground with all the attention of the forensics team brought in to investigate the Spar robbery last month. The birds are twitchy, fossicking close to the hedge lines in case of attacks by sparrowhawks. Rooks are watchful and jackdaws group-speak up and down from the trees where blue tits, long-tailed tits and great tits work the branches as if picking tiny locks. A nuthatch chisels into a hazelnut to crack its secret. After the snow, after the gales, after Storm Whatshername emerged from a murmuration of thrashing wings to press her lips to the window and blow through the glass like a kazoo, the woods are in disarray. A few big trees have bought it, but mostly it's the damsons around the old squat lines, blackthorn along lanes and hazel in derelict coppice that cracked and twisted in the winds. Continue reading...

Him to be directed and controlled as to cause explosives to explode at any Distance or point where its work would be most deadly. That would be THE GREATEST BLESSING TO MANKIND Export electricians have already succeeded in making engines that would send an electric current through a wall and discharge a pistol, and would simply be a perfection of this idea. But you ever thought what would happen should a warlike nation be perfect the art of building and managing dirigible airships? What would happen if now, instead of hundreds of years ago, the good, insulted, warred on Chinese should first discover gunpowder? In the use of airships is bound to come just as the use of gunpowder and other explosives has tremendously developed and thereby only changed the geography of the world but EVEN CHANGED MAN himself The airship when perfected will go a long way toward bringing about the result we would hope for in our engine. A struggle is on now between the nations with the purse of each open and all aid possible forthcoming for a perfected airship. This struggle is prompted by jealousy and greed. JEALOUSY AND GREED ARE THE PARENTS OF WAR With these ships in the air, capable of riding over an army and dropping a explosive That would wipe out the life of every man in the army, how long would an advanced civilization permit wars to go on. The more horror that comes with war, the sooner will wars cease. They will be horrible enough to bring about this result perhaps when we get to fighting in the air. The nit tin that can control the aerial battlefield can control the religion, civilization, and destiny of the world, just as our gunpowder of two hundred or a hundred years ago controlled the destiny of the American Navy. No battleship, no fortification could hold out against the airship of the future and military scientists already despair of any land weapon that could be effective against it, for the airship will be able to destroy its hostile fleets, fortifications, armies, and cities in the nighttime. But still there would be wars, let us say. Now comes our imaginary engine, our war killer and peacemaker. We could sweep the heavens, night or day, with the penetrating wireless current from our peacemaker, and all airships bearing explosives would come fluttering to earth like ducks full of No. 6 shot. The current on a fleet of battleships 20 miles away, and these machines pop like so many roasting chestnuts. Play upon an army of men with our peacemaker's current, and it would disappear like sand from the top of a fence under the force of the lawn.

But before the bill was introduced they were persuaded, against their better judgment, by Congressman Edward Butterfield Vreeland, of New York to put in the Payne bill exactly the same countervailing duty that was in the old Dingley bill. When the bill appeared on the floor of the house there was a storm. Champ Clark and many other Democrats attacked the provision. Several Republicans, especially Gustav Kustrum, of Wisconsin, made speeches against it. Several other Republicans, including Vreeland, of New York, Campbell, of Kansas; Ihrlzell and Burke, of Pittsburgh, and Sylvester Clark Smith, of California, defended the duty.

To the end of the debates, those who defended the duty disputed the theory that a duty on oil and its products is a duty in favor of the Standard Oil company. Some of them may have been disingenuous, some may not; in any event, the United States commissioner of corporations, in his formal report, says that the countervailing duty permits the standard Oil company to charge the people of the United States three cents a gallon more for oil than they otherwise could, and that they sell oil cheaper abroad than in the United States.

The Republic will endure, during its unwritten march of affairs, has reached the era of democracy, and from democracy there is no backward course. In no enlightened country will a people again submit to government of which they are not integral parts. Where the masses are not fit for the rights and duties of a democratic regime, there remains but one thing to do—to lift them up to the plane of their new destiny. The world must today choose between healthy popular government and social anarchy. Recourse cannot be had to socialism. Germany would last but a day. The sole salvation lies in making the people capable of governing themselves. America has made the experiment of democracy in conditions and with results which do not permit us to doubt of her future success, I have unreserved confidence in the great national heart of America. Temporary aberrations are possible. But the government of the republic is so constructed, and its parts so adjusted, while essentially popular in its whole framework, it does not yield to the passing passions of its masters; before such passions might harm it, time will have calmed them, and the good judgment and the sound patriot will have prevailed. To guard against even temporary aberrations is in our power by sedulously cultivating in ourselves and in our fellow Americans the spirit of American citizenship. Americans, God has given you a great country: guard her well, he has made you a spectacle to all nations; he has confided to you humanity's highest destiny; be not unworthy of heaven's confidence. America, we pledge to thee our love and fealty. Could we this evening wave over thee a magic wand and secure to thee, for all future years, peace, and happiness, and prosperity, the wand surely be waved, and earth and sky would make thine their most precious blessings. America, upon thee we invoke the favor of the God of nations, in whose most gracious keeping thou hast been from the day of thy birth to the present moment. O God, we pray Thee, bless and guard our country! Our father's God! from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand, We meet today united, free. And loyal to our land and Thee. And thank Thee for the era done. And trust Thee for the opening one. Oh, make Thou us, through centuries long, In peace secure, in Justice strong; Around our gifts of freedom draw The safeguards of Thy righteous law; And, cast in some diviner mold, Let the new cycle shame the old. The Income Tax, Why Not? By GILSON GARDNER An income tax? To be sure. Why not? It is a tax on wealth. That is one good argument in its favor. Why not tax wealth? Is there anything incendiary about the proposition to tax wealth? Is there anything dangerous? A man has inherited a house and lot from his father. The rent of the house and lot—the house happening to be used as offices, and the lot changing to be in a settled portion of a large city—is $10,000. That is not. It is the man's income. It comes to him without effort. It comes to him merely because his father happened to buy the lot and hold it; and because his father used a reasonable amount of industry and thrift, and put a building on the lot. Now it is merely the permanent producer of an income. The son does nothing but “own" the property, and his agent hands him his monthly checks for the income. Why not take some of that unearned money for the government expenses? The government does not hesitate to take a pnrt of the wages of the man who works for what he gets. The man In the mill who sweats for his $2 a dav; or the youth in the office who writes figures In a book for his $9 a week, or the girl behind a counter who stands on her feet and sells lace all day for her sr, a week—the government does not hesitate to take toll of them. The $340,000,000 a year raised by ao-called "cuatoma dues are tariff taxes, levied, for the most part, on articles of daily con sumption. such as sugar, canned goods, preserved meats, woolen anal cot ton clothing, soaps, crockery, rent the thousand and one small things that enter into the cost of dally living The government raises half its revenues at the present time by the indirect taxes on these articles, and while raising revenue, encourages monopoly and subsidize* certain manu facturing Interests, which return the favor by demanding Increased sub sidies. and using their ill gotten gains to buy the agencies or government i —senators, representatives, and even presidents.

"You haven't been taking your medication, have you?"
"No," the patient replied. "I don't need it."
The doctor shook her head. "Lord Vader, I know you hate taking meds, but in this case I must insist."
Vader stood up. "If you had been doing your job all this time, I would not need them," he retorted angrily.
The physician swallowed hard, his anger more than a little frightening. "Lord Vader, when you were assigned to me fourteen years ago, I dedicated myself fully to your care. Considering the shambles your health has been in all this time, I hardly think it's fair that…"
"What you think, Doctor, is hardly important," he snapped. He clenched his fists in frustration, knowing cognitively that she was not the one to blame; yet she was here, she was convenient, and he needed someone to direct his anger at.
"I'm sorry you feel that way," she continued. "But believe it or not, I do care about your well being. I swore an oath to attend to my patients and to go to any length to give them the best possible care. But I can't force you to do anything, can I?"
Vader looked at her, knowing her well enough after all this time to know that she was being honest with him. And yet, the unspoken truth that had hovered somewhere in the back ground still persisted, the same hidden truth that every physician and medidroid had withheld from him for fourteen years. Any attempt to uncover this truth had resulted in punishment from his master.
"No, you cannot," he replied. "Therefore you are not to blame, Doctor. I take responsibility for my actions and inactions. You needn't burden yourself."
I beg to differ, she reflected. The emperor had invested a great deal of time and money into the care of his right hand; should anything happen to him under her care, she would be very much responsible.
"Please reconsider the injections at least," she said at last.
He stopped. "And how often would I have to submit to that?"
"At least every two months, milord," the doctor replied.
Vader nodded. "I understand," he replied. "I will reconsider, and I will see you in six months time, then," he added, standing up to tower over the medic. "Barring any complications I suppose."
She looked up at him, accustomed to his acerbic sense of humor. "Yes, barring any complications."
Vader turned to leave when she spoke again.
"Oh, and Lord Vader?"
Vader turned to look back at the doctor.
"Happy birthday," the woman replied with a smile.
Vader left the doctor's office without another word, leaving her as perplexed as ever. She knew him perhaps better than most, and yet he still remained an enigma to her. Charming and dignified one moment, angry and taciturn the next: Lord Darth Vader was a volatile, dangerous man, but he was also a man who needed her help. Vader hated medical droids, hated medical intervention of any sort; so the fact that he trusted her enough to submit to her ministrations every six months for the past fourteen years was truly remarkable.
Happy birthday? What sort of an idiot wishes me a happy birthday? Vader thought angrily as he strode down the corridor. When was the last time I actually had a happy birthday?
Fourteen years had passed since the blackest day of his life, the day that would define his existence henceforth. His thirty-sixth birthday was hardly one he was in the mood to celebrate, just as the previous thirteen had been. Celebrating inferred happiness and happiness was an alien concept to Vader. It had been a long time since he had felt anything resembling happiness; fourteen years in fact. It hardly seemed possible that at one time he had known utter happiness, that his life had been so full of promise and joy. But you threw all that away when you killed her, when you killed them…
Memories of his dear wife, his beloved Padmé, haunted him still, even fourteen years after her death. The loss of her and their child had left an indelible mark upon his soul, rendering him incomplete and irreparable. Somehow the fact that his body was in the same shape seemed fitting to him, and a just punishment for what he had done to her on that day.
"Report!" Vader demanded as he entered the bridge.
"The Rebel ship has been brought on board sir," Vader's second in command replied. "The survivors are being held in the detention block."
Vader nodded. "I will interrogate them one at a time," he decided. "You have the bridge, Ozzel."
Ozzel nodded, watching his commander leave again. Everyone on the bridge knew what awaited the rebels. Darth Vader's interrogation methods were brutal and effective. He would get the information, leaving the informant little more than a vegetable when he had found what he needed. Ozzel couldn't hold back a shudder at the thought of it, and turned back to the computer terminal he was working at, confident that Vader would have a location for them in short order.
As Vader made his way to the detention block, he felt a great surge of pain through his chest. He was forced to stop and brace one hand against the bulkhead, his breath faltering for a moment. The pain was not like anything he had ever felt, except for the occasions when his master would punish him with Sith Lightning. It made him wonder if it had been projected onto him somehow. Is the emperor angry with me again? He thought as he fought to master the pain. Is he doing this? Finally, after what seemed like hours, the pain started to lessen, leaving Vader shaken. He headed straight for his quarters, momentarily forgetting about the prisoners. Once inside his sanctuary, he made his way to his hyperbaric chamber. Sitting down inside of it, Vader tried to decide what to do next as the pain finally began to subside. If the emperor was angry with him, then surely he would make contact, wouldn't he? Or was this just another one of his mind games that he was so fond of playing? The psychological torture Sidious inflicted upon his servant was every bit as painful as the physical punishment. Memories of Mustafar, of Padmé…
Checking his personal messages, Vader was surprised to see no message from the emperor; however, there was one from Viceroy Organa. Vader frowned, wondering what the traitorous Organa wanted now. He activated the message, and soon the image of Bail Organa appeared on the screen.
Lord Vader, your presence is urgently requested on Alderaan as soon as possible.
That was it, that was the message. Why does Organa want me on Alderaan? Vader wondered. He knew that Organa was a member of the Alliance, even if he couldn't prove it yet. So why would he invite the enemy to his home world? Unless it was some sort of trap…you'll have to do better than that, Organa, Vader mused as he made contact with the royal palace on Alderaan. He wasn't kept waiting long before he was face to face with the Viceroy.
"Lord Vader, thank you for responding to my message," Organa began.
"If you are trying to negotiate for the release of the rebels I have in my custody, you can forget it," Vader snapped. "They will be interrogated, and then they…."
"This isn't about any prisoners," Organa interrupted. "But I can promise you, Lord Vader, it is a matter of tremendous import, particularly to you."
Vader frowned. "What do you mean?" he demanded.
Organa hesitated, and Vader could sense that the man was holding back a great deal. "Just come to Alderaan," he replied. "If you ever loved Padmé, then come to Alderaan as soon as possible."
The mention of his wife's name both enraged and stunned Vader. "What does she have to do with this?" he demanded. "How dare you use her name to manipulate me!"
Organa said nothing, and Vader knew that he was desperate. Why, he could not even guess; but despite himself, Vader found that he was curious.
"Will you come?" Organa asked at last.
Vader nodded. "I will be there in twelve hours. And I warn you, Viceroy, this had better be worth my while."
Relief spilled out of Organa. "I promise you that it is," he said. "I will see you then."
Vader ended the transmission, his mind working feverishly for a way to justify a trip to Alderaan. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9917950630187988}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '52474', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:WWEZJAPT5UFJDHOJT2QXOMVSJ5RT2ALF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:40926506-0f2d-40d4-8431-e731d3cfad07>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 22, 3, 55, 3), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.205.184.6', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UHJSSEPZTZIMTCL2K65BRGVPWGU2UDX4', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:279a9c70-68b1-4d77-ad65-3dc3846d0320>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3659042/1/Heart-of-a-Sith', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:014c2a0f-62fc-49ce-9bbb-2fa3a8284ace>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '1384', 'url': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3659042/1/Heart-of-a-Sith', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-18\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.12166345119476318', 'original_id': '575c44b0ab289dee907c3223b291ee1e88533f2383084ac2e9f2876d2c274f98'} |

I'm having a problem with NSUserDefaults. I'm saving a name, then trying to access it later in the code from another view controller, but it seems that my key is empty or not saved as when I display the string from the key my label is blank.
-(void) saveName {
NSString *name = nameField.text;
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:name forKey:@"playersName"];
[defaults synchronize];
-(void) viewDidLoad // method called later on in code from different viewcontroller
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *name = [defaults objectForKey:@"playersName"];
playerName.text = name; // player name == myLabel
if ([[NSUsersDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"playersName"] == nil) {
playerName.text =@" blank";
My string doesn't seem to be saving to userdefaults as the @"blank" string keeps showing up with my label. I'm not too familiar with NSUserDefaults so any help is much appreciated.

A few things to note when using NSUserDefaults:
1. calls to syncrhonize method is not necesary and will only make it slower if your program is multi threaded.
2. Check if the key that you use is being used by other libraries in your project
3. Check if the value that you set to the key is not nil
4. Try to use stringForKey: or boolForKey: instead of objectForKey:
I had troubles a few times with NSUserDefaults but in the end it's usually my code that's problematic.

Cheers enrico was passing a nil value into the key its been bugging for ages its the small things you overlook! – Rhuntr Sep 6 '11 at 7:33
I would suggest you to check whether your '(void) saveName' method is being called or not... Put some breakpoint and see the result

Volleyball Signs Two for 2013 Season
Head Coach Tom Black and his staff signed a pair of standout student-athletes for next year.
Ayana Whitaker is one of two players who committed to LMU for the 2013 season.
Dec. 3, 2012
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -
With its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2005 under its belt, the LMU volleyball program is already stocking up for another run next year, signing a pair of standout student-athletes for the 2013 season. Freshman Kristie Hewko and junior transfer Ayana Whitaker will both play for the Lions and Head Coach Tom Black next year.
Hewko will come to LMU after a stellar four-year career at Rosary High School in Fullerton, Calif. The 6'0" outside hitter, who played for Laguna Beach and Mizuno Long Beach Volleyball Clubs, fielded offers from Division I programs across the nation, but ultimately decided on LMU after earning All-Trinity League honors and an MVP nod in her senior season. A four-year varsity starter for Rosary, Hewko was an All-County Underclassman according to OCVarsity while also earning second team All-Trinity League honors as a sophomore. Working as hard in the classroom as on the court, she earned Scholar Athlete recognition in all four years of high school. Other accolades included an All-Tournament selection at the Junior Olympics 15's, back-to-back selections to the SCVA HP Gold Medal Team, and a third-place finish at the Best of the Beach in 2011.
"The day Kristie committed to our program was an exciting one," Black stated. "She has the potential to bring so much to our program. Kristie is a six-rotation outside hitter who has competed successfully at the highest levels of club volleyball. She is a great jumper with a strong arm, but can also play the entire game. She brings a joy to her team, and to the game, that will be fun to be around every day. She competes hard and with passion, and we are thrilled to have her become a Lion."
Whitaker will transfer to LMU after spending the 2010 and 2011 seasons at Cal State Fullerton. The 6'3" middle blocker did not compete at the collegiate level in 2012. While at Fullerton, Whitaker appeared in 13 matches as a sophomore, posting 63 kills (1.37 per set) with four block solos and 30 block assists (0.74 blocks per set). As a freshman, Whitaker played in 49 sets over 16 matches, averaging 0.78 blocks per set (six solos and 32 assists). Prior to heading to Cal State Fullerton, the Murrieta, Calif. native prepped at Vista Murrieta High School. While at Vista Murrieta, Whitaker was a four-year letterwinner and was named to the AVCA's High School All-American Watch List as a senior.
"Ayana brings a level of physicality and explosiveness to the middle blocker position that will help us a great deal," Black said. "She already has quality Division I playing experience and I was very impressed in the recruiting process as I got to know her and her family. She is focused on getting the best out herself and her ability through this experience, which is great news for our team and program. Ayana can be as good as she wants to be, and we can't wait to get started with her."
When asked about the duo as a whole, Black responded, "We can't wait to welcome these exceptional student-athletes into our women's volleyball program. Our program took an important step this season in making the NCAA tournament, and we know the addition of these two young women, as well as the significant number of returners we have, will allow us a great opportunity to continue building LMU volleyball to where we all want it to go." | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5132065d1081b96b7bdf086ccbbd337f09861b3975950c5b6c5407d8554da2ee'} |

I[NTRODUCTION]{.smallcaps} {#sec1-1}
==========================
Ludwig\'s angina, a condition which gained notoriety for its high mortality rate in the preantibiotic era,\[[@ref1]\] is characterized by rapidly spreading infection resulting from severe diffuse cellulitis, bilaterally affecting the submandibular, sublingual, and submental spaces.\[[@ref2][@ref3]\] The condition is named after the German Physician Wilhelm Friedrich von Ludwig, who first described it in 1836. The condition is generally considered to be reducing in mortality with the advent of antimicrobial agents but still of clinical significance in some parts of the world.\[[@ref4]\] Although Ludwig\'s angina often results as a complication of severe odontogenic infection, several other etiological and risk factors have also been implicated. These include diabetes mellitus,\[[@ref4][@ref5]\] HIV infection,\[[@ref4]\] pregnancy,\[[@ref6]\] puerperium,\[[@ref7]\] alcoholism,\[[@ref3]\] chronic malnutrition,\[[@ref8]\] and low socioeconomic status.\[[@ref9]\] The peculiarity of Ludwig\'s angina among odontogenic infections is its propensity for rapid spread, capable of leading to airway obstruction, carotid arterial rupture or sheath abscess, thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, mediastinitis, empyema, necrotizing fasciitis, pericardial effusion, osteomyelitis, and septicemia.\[[@ref2]\]
Management may, therefore, consist of a multidisciplinary approach depending on its presentation and associated comorbidities. With several implicated organisms including *Peptostreptococcus*, *Bacteroides*, *Streptococcus viridans*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, and *Staphylococcus epidermis*, several regimens have been recommended.\[[@ref3][@ref10]\] However, the empirical choice and administration of antimicrobial agents at its presentation before culture and sensitivity analyses may be crucial to the survival of a patient. The use of antibiotics for such infections requires updated protocols based not only on the existing scientific evidence but also on the epidemiological reality of each center and region,\[[@ref10]\] such as availability of medication and cost, among other variables. Another area of concern is the rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance in severe orofacial infections associated with the second-line antimicrobials which could, in part, be accounted for by their inconsistency in administration.\[[@ref11]\]
Intravenous (I.V) penicillin G or amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin), clindamycin, or metronidazole has over time been recommended for use in severe odontogenic infections before obtaining culture and sensitivity results.\[[@ref3]\] While this regimen seems to account for most inhospital empirical antibiotic choice for the management of Ludwig\'s angina,\[[@ref10]\] some authors have noted the superiority of Augmentin.\[[@ref12]\]
The potency of an antibiotic lies in its ability to inhibit a number of bacterial enzymes essential for the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a major cell wall content of Gram-positive bacteria. The penicillins, in general, are a group of natural and semisynthetic antibiotics containing the chemical nucleus, 6-amino penicillanic acid, which consists of a β-lactam ring fused to a thiazolidine ring, with benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) being a relatively cheaper naturally occurring form.\[[@ref13]\] Subsequently, 50--60 years after the discovery of benzylpenicillin in 1981, amoxicillin/clavulanate was launched with the successful addition of clavulanic acid to improve its efficacy.\[[@ref10]\]
The most common determinant of empirical antibiotic choice in a hospital setting, typically in Sub-Saharan Africa, is cost and availability. The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacies and clinical outcome of I.V benzylpenicillin and I.V Augmentin in the management of Ludwig\'s angina, with the null hypothesis being that there is no significant difference in the treatment outcome of Ludwig\'s angina patients who are on either I.V benzylpenicillin or I.V Augmentin.
M[ETHODS]{.smallcaps} {#sec1-2}
=====================
This study was a prospective clinical study carried out at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana, from January 2011 to January 2013. Patients who were clinically diagnosed with Ludwig\'s angina were consecutively selected to participate in the study. Participants were patients with bilateral swelling of submandibular, submental, and sublingual regions, who consented to be part of the study. Patients with diabetes, renal disease, and liver disease and those allergic to penicillins were excluded from the study.
A thorough history, clinical examinations, and preliminary investigations were done for all patients, and the management was carried out in accordance with the standard operating procedures and treatment guidelines of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the hospital, which involved immediate admission, administration of I.V fluids and antibiotics, incision and drainage, extraction of offending teeth, and management of comorbid conditions.
Independent variables for the study were parameters routinely done for all patients, which were body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, full blood count, blood electrolytes and creatinine, random blood sugar, and HIV tests.
The severity of the swelling was ascertained by a measure of distance between the two earlobes across the submandibular regions (interlobar distance),\[[@ref14]\] a second measurement was taken from the laryngeal cartilage to the Vermillion border of the lower lip at rest (Adam\'s distance), and a third, the interincisal distance at maximum mouth opening was measured with a pair of linear calipers. The variables taken at presentation were repeated daily and recorded in a computerized questionnaire, until patients were discharged.
All patients were managed empirically with full adult doses of I.V metronidazole 500 mg 8 hourly and either Augmentin (GlaxoSmithKline, UK) 1.2 g 12 hourly or benzylpenicillin (Troge Medical, Germany) 4 mu stat, then 2 mu 6 hourly. Patients were also managed on I.V paracetamol and I.V fluids. Participants were randomly assigned to "Group A" or "Group B" on presentation, to receive Augmentin and penicillin G, respectively.
The outcome variables were (1) lobar rate -- which was a ratio of the difference in interlobar distance and the number of days on admission; (2) Adam\'s rate -- which is a ratio of the difference in Adam\'s distance and the number of days on admission; and (3) interincisal rate -- which was a ratio of the difference in interincisal distance and the number of days on admission.
All variables were entered into Microsoft Excel 2007 and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Descriptive summaries of variables were generated, and Student\'s *t*-test was used to compare the mean outcomes of the two groups. Fisher\'s exact test was used to compare categorical variables with consequent test of association, assuming an alpha level of 0.05. Signed consent was obtained from all patients. The null hypothesis for this study was that there is no significant difference in the treatment outcome of Ludwig\'s angina patients who were managed with either I.V benzylpenicillin or I.V Augmentin.
R[ESULTS]{.smallcaps} {#sec1-3}
=====================
A total of 26 patients participated in the study comprising 12 (46%) males and 14 (54%) females. The patients\' ages ranged from 13 to 61 years with mean and median of 34.4 ± 12.7 and 35 years, respectively. The peak age group was between 30 and 39 years representing 34.6%, followed by participants between 20 and 29 years \[[Figure 1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}\].
{#F1}
[Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"} shows the employment status of the patients. Only 8% of the cases of Ludwig\'s were not attributable to odontogenic factors, compared to 92%, i.e., majority of which had implicated teeth as a source of the severe infection, as shown in [Figure 2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}.
######
Employment categories of patients with Ludwig's angina
Category *n* (%)

Unemployed 5 (19.2)
Employed in the informal sector 18 (69.2)
Employed in the formal sector 3 (11.6)
Total 26 (100)
{#F2}
The most implicated tooth as a source of infection in Ludwig\'s angina was the right mandibular third molar (28.6%) followed by the left mandibular second molar (25.7%) as indicated in [Figure 3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}. The least involved teeth were the second premolars on either side.
{#F3}
[Table 2](#T2){ref-type="table"} compares the mean values of vital signs in patients with Ludwig\'s angina among the two drug groups. There were no statistically significant differences in all vital signs recorded for the two groups.

Only two patients tested positive for retroviral screening which represents 7.7% of those who were included in the study and 4% of the total number seen within the period.
The mean rate of change in the conditions was comparable between the two groups, and there was no significant difference between them *P* \> 0.05. The mean number of days spent on admission is also similar for the two groups, *P* = 0.829.
D[ISCUSSION]{.smallcaps} {#sec1-4}
========================
Ludwig\'s angina seems to be relatively common in Ghana as in some other developing countries.\[[@ref4][@ref5]\] It is a condition well known to be associated with high morbidity and mortality.\[[@ref7]\] The relatively high frequency of the condition and associated mortality could, in part, be attributed to low socioeconomic status.\[[@ref5][@ref15]\] This study showed that there was no statistically significant difference in swelling reduction, trismus, and length of hospital stay among the patients treated with the two drugs, thus making the cheaper and more readily available benzylpenicillin a suitable empirical alternative, where Augmentin cannot be afforded or unavailable to reduce mortality associated with the condition.
The age group of the patients studied compares favorably with Botha *et al*.\[[@ref4]\] and Ibiyemi *et al*.,\[[@ref5]\] who found mean ages of 40.2 and 33.0 years, respectively, in patients with such severe odontogenic infections. Previous studies\[[@ref14]\] have documented unskilled group and lesser educated individuals as more likely to bear most of the burden of this condition.\[[@ref16]\] Our study, similarly, found that most (69.2%) of the participants were in the informal sector.
We found that 92% of cases in this study had Ludwig\'s angina being accounted for by dental caries. This is consistent with several studies and reports.\[[@ref2][@ref5][@ref9]\] The molars were the more common source of dentoalveolar infection and five of the cases had bilateral gross caries. The tooth most commonly implicated was the lower right wisdom tooth followed by the lower left second molar. The molars are more prone to caries due to the multiple fissures and grooves, which tend to retain viable substrate, a known factor for caries development.\[[@ref17][@ref18]\] The relationship of the roots to the attachment of the mylohyoid muscle also plays a role in the direction of spread of the abscess.\[[@ref19]\]
The outcome variables used to measure swelling reduction; the interincisal distance and interlobar distance had been employed by Bamgbose *et al*.,\[[@ref12]\] to assess the effect of dexamethasone on postoperative swelling in third molar surgery. The third variable, the distance from the laryngeal cartilage (Adam\'s apple) to the Vermillion border of the lower lip at rest, "Adam\'s distance" was used in this study to ascertain the extent of swelling in the sagittal plane. Comparison of the rate of decrease in the size of swelling in the two drug groups revealed no statistically significant difference \[[Table 4](#T4){ref-type="table"}\]. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the interincisal rate for the two groups. The clinical efficacies of the two different regimens in the empirical management of Ludwig\'s angina were thus comparable when used with full adult doses of metronidazole and paracetamol with incision and drainage and extraction of offending teeth.
######
Measurements of swelling, mouth opening, and number of days of hospitalization
Outcome Drug *n* Mean±SD *P*
---------------------------- -------------------- ----------- ----------- -------
Lobar rate (cm/day) Augmentin (drug A) 13 0.38±0.23 0.966
Penicillin G (drug B) 13 0.38±0.20
Total 26 0.38±0.21
Adam's rate (cm/day) Augmentin (drug A) 13 0.73±3.37 0.286
Penicillin G (drug B) 13 0.29±0.12
Total 26 0.22±2.39
Interincisal rate (mm/day) Augmentin (drug A) 13 0.14±0.11 0.764
Penicillin G (drug B) 13 0.16±0.14
Total 26 0.15±0.12
Number of days Augmentin (drug A) 13 7.15±2.23 0.829
Penicillin G (drug B) 13 7.38±3.10
Total 26 7.30±2.65
There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the number of days spent in the hospital, and the mean number of days for both groups was 7.3 days. This finding is comparable to that of Zamiri *et al*.,\[[@ref19]\] who reported 6.6 and 5.5 days for those with systemic condition and those without, respectively. The reason for this similarity could be due to adherence to prompt, aggressive, and appropriate management protocol in this life-threatening condition.
There seems to be no consensus in the management of Ludwig\'s angina patients as evidenced by the wide variety of protocols both surgically and medically.\[[@ref10][@ref11]\] The choice of management regimens seems to vary among different centers. It is evident from our study that I.V penicillin G or Augmentin with metronidazole is the adequate antibiotic regimen to start the empirical medical management of Ludwig\'s angina.
Ludwig\'s angina is mostly seen in previously healthy individuals; however, patients with immunosuppressive conditions such as retroviral infection and diabetes mellitus may have increased susceptibility to developing the condition.\[[@ref4]\] Only two patients, however, tested positive for HIV screening which represented 8% of those studied. This is comparable to a study by Har-El *et al*.,\[[@ref20]\] who reported 5% of their patients to be positive for HIV.
C[ONCLUSION]{.smallcaps} {#sec1-5}
========================
There was no significant difference in the efficacy of the two antibiotics used in this study. All the patients recovered fully, suggesting that the therapeutic efficacy of both antibiotics when combined with incision and drainage was adequate for the management of Ludwig\'s angina. The use of existing empirical antibiotics is therefore still effective and should be initiated early upon admission of these patients while awaiting culture and sensitivity report.

Growing Up Juju (part 3 in a series)
Juju and her best friend Kelli were supposed to be running laps around the school yard. The rest of the girl’s volleyball team was far ahead, jogging in a group. The two girls slowed to walk, even though it was September, Fall had not yet come to Texas…it was miserable hot and humid. “Move your butts!!” yelled their coach from her perch at the door to the gym.
Juju and Kelli looked toward the coach and laughed, they waved at her and pretended they couldn’t hear what she was saying. What? What are you saying? Juju knew they were going to get into trouble, it was so unlike her and Kelli to disobey the coach they liked so much. “She is going to kill us,” Kelli said. As they turned the corner and headed for the home stretch, they picked up their pace, but both of them knew it was too late. The coach would have her retribution. They looked ahead and saw the rest of the team entering the gym with the coach…the door slamming behind her.
As Juju and Kelli approached the gym, Juju caught site of a peculiar scene. Her sister Janice’s car was parked in the gym parking lot and there she stood beside it, crying. Janice was 15 years older than Juju and the two had never been particularly close, she would never come to school unless something tragic had happened. Juju trotted up to her crying sister and stated, “Daddy is dead, isn’t he?” Janice nodded her head, Juju got into the back seat of the car and layed down…her head was spinning.
Juju’s other sister, Joan lived two houses down from her, with her husband and their baby girl. Another sister Joyce, lived across the street with her husband and three children. The other neighbors had conceded the street to Juju’s family long ago, they had to, they were overrun. Janice pulled her Chevy into Joan’s driveway and Juju looked two houses down to her home. A black hearse was at her house, she ran into her sister’s house quickly to avoid a sight she did not want to witness.
Juju’s family were seated all in the living room, her mother on the couch. Everyone was crying, her mother kept saying one thing over and over, “I can’t believe this is happening.” Juju sat down in an old wooden rocking chair and rocked back and forth. No tears were coming, shouldn’t I be crying she thought? Fifteen minutes ago Juju was laughing and tormenting her coach…now she had a surreal scene playing out in front of her. How quickly life changes. Juju looked down at her outfit, sweaty t-shirt, gym shorts, and some socks she had to borrow from a teammate having forgotten hers that morning. Juju hunched over and looked down at her socks…her Daffy Duck socks.
For three days friends and relatives filled Juju’s house…and they brought food. Why is it at the time you absolutely don’t feel like eating, people bring it? Juju’s mother told her it was really for the other people who showed up to express their condolences. Can’t they have this party someplace else Juju thought? Can’t they eat before they pay a visit? Juju retreated to her orange shag carpeted room for solace. The carpet still smelled like cleaning fluid from the “mod flowers” incident. Her friends had always thought her father was her grandfather because he had been 49 when Juju was born. She didn’t think he would die on her like grandfathers do though…not when she was just 14. Juju knew that he had a bad heart, she had guessed correctly when she found Janice standing before her in tears. But this was just something that happened in the movies, not in real life. Juju was with her mother on one thing, was this really happening?
On the day of the funeral Juju sat there on the front row beside her mother. She wore a tan blouse with brown embroidery, more frilly than she would usually wear, but it matched the brown slacks. Her mother had not even tried to get Juju to wear a dress, by that time that battle was long over. Juju sat through the service and thought about what her father meant to her. She had refused to go to the visitation the previous day, she didn’t want to see her father laying in a casket. How creepy was that she thought? Why would the adults want a kid to see that? She also thought he should have been buried in his Chef uniform, all starched and nice. Not the leisure suit that he only wore when he was forced to go somewhere fancy…he would hate that.
Juju stared at her mother the evening after the funeral. Jewel looked pretty young, but kids often thought she was Juju’s grandmother too. What would happen if she died too?
As if Jewel was reading her mind, she told her daughter, “don’t worry, I am going to be around a while.” Promise? “Yes, I am promise.” Juju went to bed and thought to herself that she now knew what the term “bone tired” meant…she could feel every bone in her body…she had never been so tired. As she drifted off to sleep she remembered Easter with her father.
Her father, Jim, was always in charge of hiding the Easter eggs at their house. Juju was a smart child and the bunny story stopped at the age of four, after that she preferred her Daddy playing the part. As the years went on, Juju and her sister Junene, didn’t want the egg hunt to end because they saw how much he enjoyed it. They would get up early and peer out their bedroom window, watching him take careful attention in placing the hard-boiled eggs all over the back-yard. After that he would just scatter the multi-colored sugar confection eggs about the grass and garden.
By the time the last egg hunt came along when Juju was in fifth grade, she had to become a little actress. She walked from location to location…acting surprised at her finds in the usual locations. Never letting on to her Daddy that he had hidden an egg in a certain spot for the past 5 years running….or that she had cheated a peek and saw him hide the egg! Daddy would sit on a folding lawn chair on the back porch, watching the hunt, smiling broadly. After the eggs were all secured, Daddy would call her over and tell her he had one more surprise. He would pull out a big chocolate bunny out of a five and dime sack and wish her Happy Easter. Followed shortly thereafter by, “hey, give your old man a bite of that rabbit!” There was always a time around July or August when Juju would find one of those cellophane wrapped sugar eggs in her mother’s garden. She would run and tell her Dad about her find…the response was always the same. “Well, that must have been a good one. I will have to remember that spot for next year.” Juju drifted off to sleep with that vision of her father in her head…the hunts had stopped a few years ago, but the memories would remain. The holidays would still come she thought, the years would pass….she was going to finish growing up without her Daddy.
The years did pass, Juju started to forget what her father’s voice sounded like, but every once in a while she remembered a small moment. A short conversation would pop in her head, with 100% clarity, that she had enjoyed with him, or she would hear him whistle a tune. Those moments Juju equated with those three-month old eggs found long ago in the garden. “That must have been a good one,” she heard her Daddy say.

Every once in a while Linda and I have a “theme” weekend. The themes tend to be whatever bullshit idea is running through my head on a Friday afternoon at about quitting time. Sometimes the idea comes forth during happy hour and is somewhat influenced by the consumption of the chosen liquid.
About a month ago, I decided we would do “back-ass-ward weekend.” Meaning Linda and I did the exact opposite of what we would normally do. It was my homage to George Costanza regarding the Seinfeld episode where he did everything the opposite in dealing with dating women. It was quite successful for him. Let me give you an idea of what went down. We usually go somewhere in Dallas that is pretty high-end for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday. On that weekend we did the opposite, we found a dive down on Industrial Blvd., 3 blocks down from the Dallas County jail. We sat at our booth and watched the prostitutes walk by as we waited on our eggs. The place was called, “My Mother’s Daughter’s Diner.” It was fantastic and I highly recommend the place….just don’t wear heavy make-up and spandex and you should be fine.
When my mother was alive I did the same thing with her. Every once in a while I would tell her to pencil me in for her entire weekend. I would take her anywhere in the state of Texas that she wanted to go…and sometimes we played the theme game too. I did the “back-ass-ward” theme with her one Saturday in Dallas. Now normally with Jewel, I would take her to the Dallas Arboretum, or the parks to look at flowers, or the women’s museum. But that was all out on this particular day….she had to agree to do things she had never done before.
We started the day at the Majestic Theater for a special concert with Lilly Tomlin. She was doing her one woman show called “The Search for Signs of Intelligent LIfe in the Universe.” Jewel had never been to a comic show where someone just stood in the middle of the stage and talked. She remembered Tomlin from the TV show Laugh-In, but this was a definite stretch for her….a true opposite thing for her to do. At one point in the show Jewel turned to me and said, “I guess she doesn’t appeal much to men?” I broke out laughing….I was out, but Lilly was still in the closet, for all of those that couldn’t see the forest for the trees! “She must be a feminist,” mother said.
From the Majestic, we ventured to the south-side of Dallas and ate a nice dinner of true soul-food. Fried chicken, collard greens, grits, corn bread….we had a feast. And we met some wonderful people at a little shack that never in a million years did we believe we would ever have stopped….save for back-ass-ward Saturday.
It was about 7:45pm and we were going to head westbound back to Fort Worth, when we passed the State of Texas Fairgrounds. On the flashing marquee for the outside amphi-theatre it read, “LIVE TONIGHT: CROSBY, STILLS, AND NASH.” I had wanted to see them my whole life and did not know they were playing Dallas that night. I looked over at Jewel, who had NEVER been to a rock concert before and said, “How serious are you about being back-ass-wards?” Jewel’s reply, “Let’s do it!!!”
We parked the car and I illegally (opposite) bought two tickets from a scalper after walking down a side road two blocks. I was a police officer at the time and had a duty weapon strapped to the inside of my right ankle. (before you start thinking I had lost my mind) I jogged back to find Jewel standing at the entrance ready to rock on back to the 60s! We found our seats, about 16 rows back from the stage and took our places….we were just in time for the start of the show. The usual haze of smoke was hanging above us, as was the unmistakable smell of weed. Jewel asked what songs they sang, so I gave her my best effort of a short medley: Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Woodstock, Ohio.…oh, oh, okay…I know those guys she said, “I am going to get a drink.” My back-ass-wards trick of the day was surely bringing my 70-year-old mother to a rock concert.
As she stood to go get a drink, a guy seated behind me, with his two friends, also got up. He looked at me and asked if I could watch their stuff while they went for a beer run. Jewel took it upon herself to shout to the young men above the crowd noise, “you can trust my daughter watching your stuff, SHE IS A COP!” And with that she turned and walked away. What she didn’t see was a mad frantic rush ALL around me…five rows in every direction, hiding, stuffing, eating….”things” were moving and disappearing. I sat there alone and all I could do was just laugh.
Jewel returned with two drinks and some popcorn. She was alarmed when she saw the rest of our row now vacant and the guys behind us gone with their stuff. What happened she said, “did they cancel the show?” No Jewel, they just decided to try to go closer to the stage for a better view. Jewel and I sat on an empty row of an otherwise packed amphitheater and enjoyed a killer show, without smoke nearby to choke us.
I encourage you to have a theme weekend for you and your significant other. It can be back-ass-wards, or have an ethnic theme, sports theme, whatever you like. They sure can create fun and some great memories…and they get you outside of your box. We can all stand to venture out of our routines from time to time. IF you find your weekends are looking similar, then take my advice and go for it.
That was a good day. That was the day I drove back home to Fort Worth with a senior citizen loudly singing Marrakesh Express in my right ear and wishing I hadn’t eaten the greasy fried-chicken. As I dropped my mother off at her house, she turned and told me, “How stupid do you think I am Julie, I knew my comment would make those kids scatter. I wanted more elbow room for the show!” About a month later she made me take her to see Neil Diamond….she leaned over to me and said, “now THAT’S a singer!” As we got up to go, we were walking up the steps of the old Reunion Arena in Dallas…I yelled, “make way senior citizen coming through!” All the people in front of us parted like the Red Sea… as in my mother’s face. Jewel punched me in the back as I turned to tell her, “now we are even.”
Growing Up Juju (part 2 in a series)
Juju sat at her table, no longer called a school desk, and stared across at the two giggling girls. It was the beginning of fifth grade and the year Harrison Lane tried a new concept in teaching…big open rooms with small tables for each kid all arranged together in a big L shape. Two teachers commanded the group of kids for two general periods a day, then the big split occurred. The students were shepherded off to math, english, and science classes according to aptitude scores and their skill level.
In fourth grade the groups had been called: High, Medium, and Low. Juju was in High, but even then she knew it was pretty demoralizing when the teacher yelled, “Low kids, get in the hall!” The “new concept” teaching of her fifth year changed the names of the groups to: 1, 2, and 3. Even the 3s figured out they were the old Lows…look around, yeah there is the kid that sits in the corner and picks his nose for sport…same group.
Susan and Terry sat there and giggled and pointed across the table at Juju most every day….she was tired of it. She didn’t like to tattle-tale, so she was going to have to take matters in her own hands. Terry was a 3, but Susan was a 1 with Juju in every class of the day….she should know better than to pick on people. Juju told them she knew they were talking about her..they didn’t try to hide it, they even pointed at her, said her name loud enough for her to hear.
Juju could have just walloped them, she was taller than every kid in her class, except Louis. Louis was a kid that would grow on to over 6’8″ and play college basketball…Juju liked the fact he was in her class. She would not be the tallest kid in the class picture this year. Juju decided that physically going after them was not the right tact, people would deem that unfair of her anyway. She decided to use the same weapon they were using, a verbal attack.
Every day for the next week, Juju would walk up behind the two girls in the crowded hall of Harrison Lane Elementary….she would bend down and whisper one word in their ear. She did this for five days in a row, Monday thru Friday….she noticed the taunting had stopped by the second day…but she threw in three more days just for good measure. Her plan, it seemed, had worked…she was feeling pretty good that Friday afternoon in math class for the 1s. Susan looked at her from across the room and had a funny smile on her face…a Cheshire cat kind of smile. Juju wondered what that was about?
The 3:05 bell sounded and math class was over, time to go and enjoy the weekend! Juju’s mother was waiting in the front drive of the school, she was especially excited because they were going sneaker shopping today…it was a good day! Mrs. Threadgill, the math teacher called out to Juju as she hit the door. She told her to go back to her homeroom to see Mrs. Dennard about something. Juju trotted off, not knowing what she was about to walk into…not knowing it had to do with that one single word she had been uttering into the ears of her two tormenting adversaries.
She walked into the large expanse of the homeroom and saw a strange site. There stood Mrs. Dennard, Terry, Susan, and their two mothers!! She walked over to the desk and Mrs. Dennard said they were all talking and concerned about something the two girls were saying that Juju had called them in the hall. Mrs. Dennard asked if Juju had said the word and she responded yes. She was admonished and made to apologize to the girls. When asked why she had said such a word, Juju related that the girls had been mocking her for being different…laughing at her daily. Susan and Terry denied the allegation and tearfully looked up at their respective mothers. Juju felt as if she were about to explode in tears….tears of anger. She loved Mrs. Dennard and couldn’t believe that she was siding with them! Juju was dismissed and walked with head held low to her mother’s car.
Juju sat down in the front seat and started to bawl. What is wrong, her mother asked?
Juju related the story…the ENTIRE story, it came flowing out of her in pace with the tears. Jewel became incensed and jumped out of the car and headed to the classroom. Juju’s mother entered the homeroom to find the teacher and two mothers still chatting. She went into a rage, berating the teacher for having this obviously planned meeting without filling her in…without having her present. Jewel was furious that she had been left sitting in the car while 3 adults ganged up on Juju. She left the three women standing there aghast as she exited the room and yelled back one parting shot. “And MY daughter has a right to use that word any damn time she wants to…it is her right!!”
Jewel came back to the car looking like she had flames sticking out the top of her head. Juju was thinking the anger was directed at her….for saying the word. Jewel looked at Juju and asked her if she wanted to go to Sears or the shoe store on Pipeline Road? Juju knew she was a “1” but she was having trouble processing all that had happened. Why was her mother looking at her with that weird look on her face….tears in her eyes and a smile. Juju had never seen that combination on a face before, it befuddled her.
As they pulled into the parking lot of Sears, Jewel asked her daughter if she knew what the word actually meant? The irony was that Juju did not know what it meant. She just knew it had been thrown in her direction before and the general consensus at the school was that it was the lowest thing you could call another kid. Her mother told Juju that it meant different from normal, not the usual.
They walked into the store to buy a new pair of black and white Keds “track” shoes..the ones that had the narrow heel and pointed up at the toe…just like Juju had seen on the Olympics. Juju reached for her mother’s hand and gave it a squeeze. A moment of thanks passed from daughter to mother. Juju laughed aloud and said, “that was a QUEER afternoon, wasn’t it?” She liked making her mother laugh…and deep down Juju was feeling pretty darn good. She was getting the greatest track shoes ever and she now had a new word that described herself perfectly.
Growing Up Juju (part 1 in a series)
The boy named David socked her in the stomach so hard it took her breath away. She fell on her back on his driveway and gasped for a breath, what a brat she thought…he had sucker punched her! After about a minute or two she was on her feet again dusting off her blue jeans and thinking about kicking him…right at the place where her mother told her counted the most. She thought about it but instead gave him the best “go to hell” look an eleven year old can give, turned in her Keds and carted off to her own yard. It wasn’t worth it. That David kid was as queer as a three dollar bill and he didn’t even know it. At least she knew…she was as odd as he was and just trying to be his friend.
She had always known she was different, but she had really got to thinking about it in the last month. Every since that day at Harrison Lane Elementary when the teacher divided up the girls and the boys for “the talk.” The girls were sent to the cafeteria and the boys were hustled to the gym. The P.E. teacher, Miss Pam, who looked like Paul McCartney, stood up to speak. She was “different” too, she just knew it. She wore track suits to school every day and had a pair of sneakers to match each suit. Miss Pam bit her fingernails down to the quick and wore no make-up like the other teachers….and no exaggeration, she looked like the Beatle in his mop-top heyday.
Miss Pam doubled as the health teacher and when she stood up that day she started talking about the differences in boys and girls. The girls watched a film on just how different they were and what would be happening to their bodies in the next year or two. Juju sat there kind of disgusted. She couldn’t believe that was going to happen to her…and all to have babies!?! If you knew you weren’t going to have kids why did this have to happen??
The film had prompted a discussion that night with Juju’s mother. At the end of the talk, Juju knew what her mother had done to have seven babies, she would never do. She got the nerve up to tell her mother she day-dreamed quite a lot, but wouldn’t tell her mother about what. She was told that day-dreaming was perfectly normal and to not be worried. Juju wondered if she were somehow broken. She knew the day-dreams were not the normal thing for an eleven year old girl to think about…she was worried. That day however had yielded too much information, her worries would have to wait for another day. Until then, Juju went about her daily activities, hoping one day she would have all the answers to the questions swirling in her mind.
Juju knew why the neighborhood boys wouldn’t let David play with them. He was called a sissy-boy most times..or told to go play school with the other “girls.” But the thing she didn’t get is why they let her, an actual girl, play tackle football with them? Her best buddy, Rod, had looked at her and said, “I don’t know, you can just play, but don’t spit, girls don’t spit.” Okay, note to self, stop buying the gum that came in a package that looked like chewing tobacco…and stop spitting like the boys did. Juju had it, David’s differences excluded him, her’s kept her in the clique. The boys thought it was odd if she jumped rope or played school with the girls, but they always reminded her there were certain lines she just could not cross.
This being different thing was hard to deal with and issues came up just about every day. Juju had been thinking weird thoughts since she was five years old and now she was beginning to think that they had something to do with the film at school and the talk she had with her mother. Those thoughts, her day-dreams, were going to remain hers for a while, she needed to figure this out for herself first, then tell somebody. Juju had learned some valuable lessons that week. The most valuable one she had learned was to be careful with whom she reached out to…David had not liked her inquiry that preceded the punch. By his reaction Juju knew he had day-dreams too and she had secretly smiled as she walked back to her house that day holding her stomach. Wow, she thought, mother was right, the truth does hurt.

Rolling Through the Years
So I am sitting in the hallway of the courthouse, on floor number 5. I have my client seated beside me and we are going over the terms of the plea bargain we are about to sign. The courtroom door is slammed open down at the other end of the hall…smashing up against the wall. I turn to my right to see a black male running down the hall, towards me in an orange jump suit….a bailiff running in chase behind him!
I sat there motionless as the orange blur ran right past me. He was gang tackled by other bailiffs before he could get to the stairwell. I sat there motionless??? I chuckled a little and my client asked me what I was laughing about. I told her…my 28-year-old self would have body checked the fleeing prisoner into the wall and I would have had my knee on his head and his wrist in a lock before the bailiff got to us!! My 48-year-old self had become a spectator…no impulse had rushed through my body whatsoever, no trained reaction …reacted. That was the day I knew I was a middle-aged attorney…I was surely not a cop any longer.
The screen fades to black.
In the next scene we see Julya standing beside a gurney in the ER at about 10pm one night. A 21-year-old is handcuffed to said gurney. Laying there he looks quite stupid in bare feet, jeans, Black Sabbath T-shirt, and with gold paint all over his face. Oh yeah, this kid had killed some brain cells, some that he did not have to spare. After running his truck into a fire hydrant he had been amazed when I had guessed that he had been “huffing” paint for cheap thrills. I told him to look in his rear-view mirror and he had chuckled upon seeing his clownish face.
He was cooperative enough and not giving me any trouble, so I took the handcuffs off. He was a local kid and he started telling me how he and his friends “huffed” or inhaled anything they could to get high…all right off of the shelf of the local drug or hardware store. For some reason it was very popular to use the metallic gold or silver paint, that was the “good stuff.” I had taken him to the hospital to have him checked out before escorting him to jail. I was charging him with DUI and he had traffic warrants out of four different agencies.
The nurse approached us with a hypodermic needle to take a sample of his blood. He screamed, “no needles!” The kid elevated off of the gurney, screaming in sheer terror…”I hate needles!!” He tried to bolt for the door and the fight was on! He was about 6 feet tall and real skinny….he tried to punch me and missed. I grabbed him by his long hair and pulled him to the floor where the fight became more of a wrestling match….the two of us rolling all over the ER floor! I clearly had my hands full, what else was this kid on I thought, he seemed to have the power of two men…I was trying to get his hands behind his back to put the darn cuffs on him again! As we rolled into trays and instruments fell about the place….two doctors and three nurses were seemingly enjoying the show. An episode of Cops right before their eyes!
This ER had a 911 red hotline phone that went right to my dispatcher. One of the doctors was leaning against the wall right by the hotline!! In between exchanging punches with the kid, I looked up and said to the Doc, “do you think you can pick up that phone and get me some back-up?” The kid wiggled away from my grip and made a dash to swinging, double doors that led into the main lobby of the hospital. Our audience was about to get much bigger…he was headed to the ER exit. I knew once he got to the exit of the hospital, he would be gone…the skinny kid was going to be able to out run me easily.
I “horse-collared” him in front of about 12 people in the lobby…grabbing the back collar of his T-shirt…just barely getting it with my fingertips. We both went to the floor again…this time mopping up the dusty lobby and smashing into the Coke machine. We just kept rolling, exchanging punches, kicks, he was even trying to bite me. The automatic doors opened to the ambulance bay and we rolled right out onto the driveway…that’s when I heard the tires screeching!! The kid and I both turned to see a patrol car sliding towards us as we layed on the ground, looking at this point like we were embracing each other. We both let out a scream as the front left tire of my back-up’s unit came withing inches of the kid’s head!
The officer jumped out of his unit, along with his rookie ride-a-long, it took three of us to cuff the hopped up kid and get him back on the gurney in the ER. The people in the lobby, that had enjoyed the show, politely applauded as I walked past them in my now filthy uniform. Lesson learned rookie….don’t un-cuff someone who is high on sniffing paint and whatever else that kid was on…lesson learned.
The training officer laughed so hard at me that night….he told me that I was really lucky that he didn’t run right over the both of us. The lighting at the back of the hospital was lacking and we both had on dark shirts. I asked him when did he notice us laying on the black top? He responded, “I saw the flicker of metallic gold paint!”
I write this blog trying to show the reader little snippets of my life. The cop stories are me in my twenties. Even I don’t agree with the way I handled some calls, but I have tried to be honest here…brutally honest at times. Readers have remarked for the most part positively, but one or two have called me a smart-ass, pig, and even a sadist…among other things. That is fine, that is their opinion and their right to not like how the twenty something me handled different problems. It is truly a “walk a mile” type scenario though…until you have been a police officer, you don’t know how you would handle certain calls. The perfect combination would be my smarter and mature self with the physical abilities of my younger self….but reality won’t abide. Reality today has me sitting in the hallway as the kid in the orange jumpsuit sprints by me.
I walked back into the courtroom and apologized to the bailiffs. For what they asked? Look guys, I used to be a cop…I should have tackled the guy, or at least stuck out a foot and tripped him!! I repeated my apology….there was an awkward moment, then the 3 officers filled the courtroom with laughter. My younger self was apologizing and they were laughing at my reality. Time to let the years roll on past me…I am fine with that…time to let them roll just like I did that prisoner, but hopefully not as fast.
Growing Up Juju (part 12 in a series)
Growing Up Juju (part 13 in a series)
The edge of the creek was lined with Maclura Pomifera trees, most people know them as “Horse Apple” trees. The rough and spherical fruits were lying about…as an attorney, I now would call them an “attractive nuisance,” back then at age 7, they looked like green softballs.
My little neighbor friend, Robbie, was riding his bicycle back and forth in front of me, about 3 feet off the edge…in and out of the tree trunks, like a make-shift obstacle course. Let’s make this course a little more difficult, I thought to myself, as I began rolling the apples towards the creek….and directly in the path of the quickly moving Schwinn.
About six weeks earlier a neighbor kid had beaned me on the forehead with a croquet ball, sending me to the ER for 3 stitches. You would have thought that would have been on my mind, but when you are seven…you don’t think about consequences. I actually wanted him to bite the dirt, not get hurt, just fall in a very dramatic crash. We crashed bikes all the time…when both parties were in on the joke…unfortunately, this time I didn’t let poor Robbie in on the caper.
I timed it just right and my last toss connected with the front tire of Robbie’s bike, getting caught up in the spokes, stalling his progress, and sending him over the handle-bars…in a very dramatic fashion. Robbie stood up quickly and I could see blood gushing out of a cut just over his left eye. OH MY GAWD! What have I done?? I grabbed him by the arm and we went running up to the front door of his house.
I rang the bell and his mother, Rita, answered. I quickly told her Robbie had “fallen” while riding his bike. Rita grabbed him up and off they went to the ER. Robbie’s dad wasn’t home, he was a Fort Worth police detective…I remember thinking that he would be hot on my trail! I felt like I was going to throw up as I raced back across the street to my house.
My mother had run to the store and left my older siblings in charge. I didn’t bother to relate the details about what had just happened to my sister Joyce, as I hurried to my room and slammed the door. Well, news traveled fast in a 1960s neighborhood, not as fast as a Google search, but pretty darn fast.
As my mother was getting out of her car, one of the neighbor boys approached her and spilled the beans on what I had done. Rita’s car was not in her drive-way, I am sure my mother either gave a heavy sigh or rolled her eyes….she was heading towards me!
Overcome with guilt and grief…I was crouched and hiding behind the large desk I had in the corner of my room. The door creaked open and my mother stood there for a few seconds, scoping the empty room. “Julie, are you in here?” Silence.
She waited a full sixty seconds before saying,”You did it on purpose,didn’t you?” The desk spoke the truth….yes, was the answer from the dark corner. “Stay in your room until they get back from the hospital, then you and I are going over to apologize.”
Believe it or not, seven was about the age when I started having conversations with my mother about being “different.” At seven you can’t articulate the feelings or thoughts you have streaming through your head…but I knew I was not like the other girls in my first grade class.
At P.E. every day at Harrison Lane Elementary the same division of the sexes occurred without any adult interference, whatsoever. Mrs. Brown marched us down the first grade hall to the back exit door in a single file line. The first kid hit the door, slammed it open and the bisection occurred…created by societal influence, genetics, I don’t know…make your own argument.
The girls ran to the left towards the concrete pad where the rope jumping began immediately….single and even attempts at double-dutch. The boys ran, whooping and hollering towards the ball-field for a lively game of kickball. I stood at the edge of the concrete, refusing to jump rope….longing to join in on the game across the field.
I don’t want to be a boy I remember telling my mother…I just want to do everything they do. She thought she had a budding feminist…but what she had was a baby dyke. Looking back now it was great of her to engage in the conversation, to embrace a kid that was clearly different. She told me I didn’t have to play with the girls, but I should see what the teacher said about joining the boys. My mother told me all girls were different and that comparing me to the other girls was like comparing “apples to oranges.” I didn’t get that then…so she said it another way….she said, “Julie, different doesn’t mean wrong.”
That idiom is often criticized by “scholars” because both apples and oranges are fruits (insert joke), but it actually is spot on. We were all just little girls, but there were far more differences with me and the jumpers than similarities.
I was crying, overcome with remorse, as my mother and I stood in Robbie’s bedroom. The poor kid had four stitches over his eye, was laying in his bed, sucking on a popsicle. I confessed my sin to Rita and asked her if big Rob, the detective was going to take me to jail? The moms laughed and that made me feel a little better. My penance was raking the leaves in Robbie’s backyard that afternoon,…a job he had been scheduled to do..a job I gladly took over.
You just don’t think about cause and effect when you are a kid…but you do when you become an adult reflecting on childhood memories. The horse apple, or the cause, sure did have an effect on little Robbie. And that “apples and oranges” comment left a lasting mark on me as well. My mother isn’t around to give her input here, but I doubt she would recall saying it to me. I think it would surprise her to know how many times I thought of the comment throughout my “growing up queer” years.
I knew I wasn’t meant to be a cookie-cutter, a girly-girl jumping rope after that, and it was okay. It didn’t solve all my problems or future heartaches, but it was just okay after that. I was like any other kid…I could be rotten as hell one day and cause another kid a trip to the hospital, but I could also become the only girl on Mrs. Brown’s 1st grade, kickball team. Soon thereafter, a classmate, Susan mocked me one day in recess and yelled out, “Julya is a boy!” I pretended the ball was her head the next time it was my turn at the plate…”apples to oranges” I thought….as I rounded the bases smiling. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2032', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9901164770126344}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '120754', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:27SDP23VTKH2KDBHLJIVFMLHZJXTCVCR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1ff65fbf-51e7-4719-9c60-77d417f75ca2>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 10, 18, 9, 41), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.24', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MI3L5CWYOIW4TA4WW3NAK5CK2NDEQRJO', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:031f92d7-d59b-44e8-bb2e-3b1fde9dd54e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://dykeintheheartoftexas.com/2010/03/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:7f4d97c2-9c3c-419f-8775-ddf33ebc4ddb>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '8660', 'url': 'https://dykeintheheartoftexas.com/2010/03/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-34\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-230.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03089737892150879', 'original_id': 'dcd12549651a424cb7097e64450aff38a47282e564fea42a76919e5e7edb021a'} |

Exactly How You Can Select The Right Illumination Options For Environment-friendly Living
Use rechargeable batteries instead of regular ones. Batteries are harmful for the environment if not recycled properly: you can reduce the amount of batteries that need recycling by using the same ones for a long time. Invest in a good brand and get a battery charging device to power airport ramp lighting your children's toys and other appliances.
Try receiving as much messaging as you can via email. Basically, this means using as little paper as possible. This helps businesses you deal with reduce their energy expenses, and it helps you reduce energy expenses, as well. This also keeps the environment in better shape for everyone.
A great way to go green is to replace your regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights or LED's. These light bulbs use about one fifth of the energy as regular light bulbs but can last up to twelve times longer. They also don't generate as much heat so they are particularly useful in the summer months.
One way to make your home use less energy is to weatherize it. By making some simple improvements like adding a bit of foam insulation or sealing drafty windows, you can improve the comfort level of your home and decrease your energy usage. This will reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool your home, thereby, saving you money on your utility bills.
Some forms of insulation do not require professional services but rather can simply be pushed into an open area. These types of insulation are an ideal way to improve the energy efficiency of everything from your attic to your crawl spaces to your basement and the spaces between floors. This type of insulation can also be inserted whenever you repair drywall.
As stated before, many forms of energy can be found on earth that we use. Many are harmful to the environment, but there are some which are not. The information outlined here should have given you a clearer understanding of these green energy sources and how they can be utilized in place of other energy sources.

Summary of 2009 School Finance Bill, SB09-256
Senate Bill 09-256 amends the Public School Finance Act of 1994 to provide funding for school districts for the 2009-10 budget year. Senate Bill 09-259, the "Long Bill," appropriates most of the money distributed to school districts. Highlights of funding provided to school districts by the two bills follows. This memorandum also contains a more detailed summary of Senate Bill 09-256 and a printout with estimates of school district funding for the upcoming school year. Senate Bill 09-256 was signed by the Governor on May 21, 2009.
The purpose of this booklet is to help readers understand how Colorado finances its public elementary and secondary schools. The major focus of this booklet is an explanation of the funding formula included in the Public School Finance Act of 1994, including amendments made to the act in 2015....

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\nu\in M_p(G)\subset \mathbb{C} G$ a probability measure on $G$ and let $\pi$ be the uniform distribution on $G$.
Denote by $d_\rho$ the dimension of a non-trivial irreducible unitary representation $\rho:G\rightarrow \operatorname{GL}(V_\rho)$ and define a map $\mathbb{C}G\rightarrow \operatorname{GL}(V_\rho)$ by:
$$\nu\mapsto \widehat{\nu}(\rho)=\sum_{t\in G}\nu(\delta_t)\rho(t).$$
Denote by $\operatorname{I}^*(G)$ a family of non-trivial, pairwise inequivalent irreducible unitary representations.
Denote by $\|\cdot\|_{\text{TV}}$ the total variation norm on $\mathbb{C} G$:
$$\|\mu\|_{\text{TV}}=\frac12 \|\mu\|_1=\frac12 \sum_{t\in G}|\mu(\delta_t)|.$$
The Upper Bound Lemma of Diaconis & Shahshahani states that:
$$\|\nu-\pi\|_{\text{TV}}^2\leq \frac14 \sum_{\rho\in\operatorname{I}^*(G)}d_\rho \operatorname{Tr}\left[\widehat{\nu}(\rho)^*\widehat{\nu}(\rho)\right].$$
This can be used to analyse the rate of convergence for random walks on finite groups. For example see my own MSc thesis.
Where $h$ is the Haar measure, can a similar formula for $\|\nu-h\|$ hold for compact groups? If yes, are you aware of a reference? If no, what are the barriers?
Similar here means a formula that uses a $\sum_{\operatorname{I}^*(G)}$. I expect that the problem is with the norm $\|\cdot\|_{\text{TV}}$.
Note that one of the benefits of using the total variation norm is that lower bounds are also available via:
$$\|\mu\|_{\text{TV}}\geq \frac12 |\mu(\phi)|,$$
for a test function $\phi\in F(G)$ such that $\|\phi\|_{\infty}\leq 1$.
In the 2-norm:
$$\|\mu\|_2=\sqrt{\sum_{t\in G}|\mu(\delta_t)|^2},$$ the upper bound lemma is actually an equation:
$$\|\nu-\pi\|_2=\sqrt{\sum_{\rho\in\operatorname{I}^*(G)}d_\rho \operatorname{Tr}\left[\widehat{\nu}(\rho)^*\widehat{\nu}(\rho)\right]}.$$
A Partial Answer:
There is a paper of Rosenthal (a student of Diaconis) where he states that
The previously mentioned finite-group methods appear to be applicable to compact groups.
The Diaconis-Shahshahani Upper Bound Lemma is one of these previously mentioned methods.
Revised Question:
Therefore the question is revised but is more difficult and also much softer in its scope:
What are major barriers to applying the Diaconis-Shahshahani Upper Bound Lemma to a random walk on a compact group?
I seem to be in a good position to answer this, so will give a try. I had the good fortune to work on the natural extension of Rosenthal's random walk on $SO(2n+1)$, namely the case where the rotation angle $\theta \neq \pi$. Even more luckily I got help from fellow graduate student at the time, Bob Hough, who contributed the critical insight that allowed us to finish the analogous upper bound in this paper. All details can be found in the latter.
The upper bound formula as obtained by Rosenthal is $$ \| \nu_t - \pi \|_\rm{TV}^2 \le \sum_{\mathbf{a} \neq (0,\ldots, 0) } d_{\mathbf{a}}^2 r_{\mathbf{a}}(\theta)^{2t}. $$ where $r_{\mathbf{a}}(\theta)$ is the so-called character ratio (i.e., character divided by dimension), which Rosenthal computed using Weyl character/dimension formula to be $$ r_{\mathbf{a}}(\theta) := \frac{\chi_{\mathbf{a}}( R(1,2;\theta))}{d_{\mathbf{a}}} = \frac{(2n-1)!}{\left(2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}\right)^{2n-1}} \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{\sin (\tilde{a}_j \theta)}{\tilde{a}_j \prod_{r \neq j} \left(\tilde{a}_r^2 - \tilde{a}_j^2\right) }. $$ Here
• $R(1,2;\theta) = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} \cos \theta & -\sin \theta & \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta &\\ & & I_{N-2} \end{array} \right) $, and can be replaced by any of its conjugate in $SO(2n+1)$.
• $\mathbf{a}$ is a sequence $n$ weakly increasing nonnegative integers, and $\tilde{a}_j = a_j + j -1/2$, i.e., $\mathbf{a} + (1/2,3/2,\ldots, n-1/2)$ is the corresponding highest weight vector (my convention is opposite of Macdonald's book, but consistent with Rosenthal's paper). The $\mathbf{a}$ so described index all the irreducible representations of $SO(2n+1)$, just as partitions of length $n$ index irreducible representations of $GL(n)$.
The goal is to show that each of $d_\mathbf{a}^2 r_\mathbf{a}(\theta)^2 = o(1)$, except for $\mathbf{a} = (0,\ldots, 0)$ corresponding to the 1-dimensional trivial representation. When $\theta = \pi$, the formula for $r_\mathbf{a}(\theta)$ can be bounded by taking absolute value of each summand. However when $\theta \neq \pi$ notice that the antecedent denominator $(2\sin \frac{\theta}{2})^{2n-1}$ increases exponentially in $n$, and the sum is highly oscillatory, making the absolute value bound too weak.
What Bob discovered is that the sum can be written as a contour integral, using the residue theorem. Thus one can appeal to saddle point techniques that are commonly used in estimating coefficients of various generating functions related to combinatorial or number theoretic quantities, such as the partition number or Stirling's formula.
Similar random walks on $SO(2n)$, $Sp(n)$ and with conjugacy classes with multiple angles of rotation "should" follow similar suit, though even for the single $\theta$ case it was already mind-blowingly tedious (to me at least).
In general I would say the barriers compared to discrete group conjugacy class walks are
• You have to control an infinite number of irreducible representations
• You need to bound values of Schur polynomials or their Laurent analogues on the unit circle in the complex plane, as opposed to characters of finite groups; this could be slightly less well developed since most people who are interested in bounding symmetric polynomials view them as real-valued functions. Also people like Diaconis and Aner Shalev and other random walk theorists are interested more in discrete setting, hence have spent a lot of energy developing bounds for symmetric characters $\chi^\lambda_\nu$.

Fragging: "To intentionally kill or wound (one's superior officer, etc.), esp. with a hand grenade."
Take names. Remember them. The behavior of certain Republicans who call themselves tea party conservatives are the most destructive posse of misguided "patriots" we've seen in recent memory.
If the nation defaults on its financial obligations, the blame belongs to the tea party Republicans who fragged their own leader, John Boehner. They had victory in their hands and couldn't bring themselves to support his debt-ceiling plan, which, if not perfect, was more than anyone could have imagined just a few months ago. No new taxes, significant spending cuts, a temporary debt-ceiling solution with the possibility of more spending cuts down the line as well as their beloved constitutional balanced-budget amendment.
These people wouldn't recognize a hot fudge sundae if the cherry started talking to them.
The tick-tock of the debt ceiling debate is too long for this space, but the bottom line is that the tea party got too full of itself with help from certain characters whose names you'll want to remember when things go south. They include, among others, media personalities who need no further recognition; a handful of media-created "leaders," including Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips and Tea Party Patriots co-founders Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler; a handful of outside groups who love to hurl ad hominems such as "elite" and "inside the Beltway" when talking about people like Boehner when they are, in fact, the elite (FreedomWorks, Heritage Action, Club for Growth, National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Prosperity); and elected leaders such as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann; Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, head of the Republican Study Committee; and South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, who grandstand and make political assertions and promises that are sheer fantasy.
Meanwhile, freshman congressmen have been targeted and pressured by some of the aforementioned groups to vote against Boehner's plan. South Carolina's contingent was so troubled, they repaired to the chapel Thursday to pray and emerged promising to vote no. Why? Not because Jesus told them to, but because they're scared to death that DeMint will "primary" them - find someone in their own party to challenge them.
Where did they get an idea like that? Look no further than Sarah Palin's Facebook page, where she warned freshmen about contested primaries and urged them to "remember us 'little people' who believed in them, donated to their campaigns, spent hours tirelessly volunteering for them, and trusted them with our votes." Her close: "P.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries."
While they're at it, they also should remember that Palin came to the tea party long after the invitations went out. The woman knows where to hitch a wagon.
Unfortunately for the country, which is poised to lose its place as the world's most-trusted treasury and suffer economic repercussions we can ill afford, the stakes in this political game are too high to be in the hands of tea partyers who mistakenly think they have a mandate. Their sweep in the 2010 election was the exclusive result of anti-Obama sentiment and the sense that the president, in creating a health care plan instead of focusing on jobs, had overplayed his hand. Invariably, as political pendulums swing, the victors become the very thing they sought to defeat.
Who's overplaying their hand now?
It must be said that the tea party has not been monolithic - and the true grass-roots shouldn't be conflated with leaders who disastrously signed on to the so-called "Cut, Cap and Balance" pledge. What is it with Republicans and their silly pledges? Didn't get enough Scouting? This pledge now has them hog-tied to a promise they can't keep - the constitutional balanced-budget amendment. As many as a third desperately want a pardon from that commitment, according to sources close to the action.
Hubris is no one's friend and irony is a nag. The tea partyers who wanted to oust Barack Obama have greatly enhanced his chances for re-election by undermining their own leader and damaging the country in the process.
The tea party was a movement that changed the conversation in Washington, but it has steeped too long and has become toxic.
It's time to toss it out.

Edible Worms - Great for Halloween!
This is a blast from the past, but it's a good one. Yes, one year when the kids were younger, I made edible worms. And not pretty red and yellow jello worms, but worms that were a nice ugly color.
They may have looked gross, but totally realistic and tastes good.
Yes, they taste good - truly! They taste like a dessert of jello and whipped cream. But OMGosh to see a pile of them is just so gross. LOL. Still - perfect for a Halloween party so? Knock yourself out. They are worth it.
Edible Worms
2 packs (3 oz) jello (I used peach - but a red jello will give you 'browner' worms)
1 pkg unflavored gelatin
3/4 c heavy cream
3 c water
10-15 drops green food coloring
50-100 brand new, flexible straws in a box
Boil the 3 cups of water and mix it with the jello and gelatin in bowl. Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and green food coloring.
Pull the tops of the straws out so the flexible part is elongated. Jam all your straws back in the container. Place the cardboard into a tall container like a juice pitcher. Pour the jello/gelatin mixture to the straw-filled container and let it chill until firm.
After the jello sets you can squeeze the straw with your thumb and forefinger and drag it along the straw to squeeze the worm out. I've also heard you can hold the straws over warm water and they will slip right out of the straw tube. Place them in a chilled bowl and serve to hungry party goers!
I chose to put all the straws back into the cardboard container, then placed the box into a juice container.
I removed the cardboard by ripping it and pulling it off. A congealed mess
awaited me... but it smelled yummy! I used peach jello so
it smelled like peaches and cream.

catelyn_stark Are you sure about this?
robb_stark No.
catelyn_stark It's dangerous.
robb_stark If we take Tywin's castle from him, the lords of Westeros will realize he's not invincible. Take his home, take his gold, take his power.
catelyn_stark Why are you telling me?
robb_stark You begged me not to send Theon to negotiate with his father and I ignored your advice.
robb_stark Now Winterfell is burned to the ground. The North is overrun with Ironborn and Bran and Rickon are gone.
robb_stark So, Casterly Rock? I'm asking your advice.
catelyn_stark We have enough men?
robb_stark If walder Frey cooperates.
catelyn_stark If walder Frey cooperates.
catelyn_stark If reinforcements arrive from King's Landing, before we take the castle, we'll be caught between Tywin's army and the sea.
robb_stark We'll lose the war and die the way father died. Or worse.
catelyn_stark Show them how it feels to lose what they love.
walder_frey My honored guests, be welcome within my walls and at my table. I extend to you my hospitality and protection in the light of the Seven.
robb_stark We thank you for your hospitality, my lord.
robb_stark I have come to make my apologies, my lord, and to beg your forgiveness.
walder_frey Don't beg my forgiveness, your Grace. It wasn't me you spurned, it was my girls.
walder_frey One of them was supposed to be queen, now none of them are.
walder_frey This is Arwyn, my daughter. My daughter Walda, my daughter Derwa, my daughter Waldra.
walder_frey My eldest granddaughters Ginia and Neila.
walder_frey Serra and Sarra, granddaughters, twins. You could have had either. Could have had both for all I care.
walder_frey My granddaughter Marianne. My granddaughter Freya. My granddaughter...W-W-Wertha? Waldra? Waldina?
merry_frey I'm merry.
walder_frey Fine. And here's my youngest daughter Shirei, though she hasn't bled yet. Clearly you don't have the patience for all that.
robb_stark My ladies. All men should keep their word, kings most of all. I was pledged to marry one of you and I broke that vow. The fault is not with you. Any man would be lucky to have any one of you. I did what I did not to slight you, but because I loved another. I know these words cannot set right the wrong I have done to you and your house. I beg your forgiveness and pledge to do all I can to make amends so the Freys of the Crossing and the Starks of Winterfell may once again be friends.
walder_frey Very good.
walder_frey There she is. Come closer, let me have a look at you.
walder_frey Still can't see you. Old eyes.
walder_frey Love. That's what the Starks of Winterfell call it, eh? Heh. Very honorable, I call it a pretty face. Mmmm, very pretty. Prettier than this lot, that's for sure. Very shapely as well. Oh, you try to hide her under that dress. If you wanted to hide her, you shouldn't have brought her here in the first place.
walder_frey I can always see what's going on beneath a dress. Been at this a long time. I bet when you take that dress off, everything stays right where it is. Doesn't drop an inch.
walder_frey Your king says he betrayed me for love. I say he betrayed me for firm tits and a tight fit.
walder_frey And I can respect that. When I was your age, I'd have broken fifty oaths to get into that without a second thought. Well, I've enough room in the hall for you lot. We'll set up tents outside with food and ale for the rest of your men.
robb_stark Thank you, my lord.
walder_frey Well, let's get ready. The wine will flow red and the music will play loud and we'll put this mess behind us.
daenerys_targaryen Where?
daario_naharis There.
daario_naharis There, it's a back gate. My men use it when they visit Yunkai's bed slaves.
jorah_mormont Your men but not you?
daario_naharis I have no interest in slaves. A man cannot make love to property.
daario_naharis This is where we enter the city. Very few guards, they know me. They let me inside.
barristan_selmy We're not gonna sneak an army through a back gate.
daario_naharis I kill the guards. I take your two best men and lead them through the back streets, which I know well, and open the front gates.
daario_naharis Then comes the army. Once the walls are breached, the city will fall in hours.
jorah_mormont Or perhaps you'll lead Grey Worm and me to the slaughter, cutting the head off our army. The masters of Yunkai will pay you your fee and you won't have to split it three ways cause you've already slaughtered your partners.
daario_naharis You have a very suspicious mind. In my experience, only dishonest people think this way.
jorah_mormont You command the Unsullied. What do you think?
daenerys_targaryen Lo jention mirre nūmāzme ēza, iderenna qopsa verdagon issa.
grey_worm I trust him.
daenerys_targaryen again] You leave tonight.
jorah_mormont Very good. We'll prepare.
barristan_selmy Ser Jorah . You can use an extra sword.
jorah_mormont You're the Queensguard, Ser Barristan. Your place is by the Queen. If we are truly her loyal servants, we'll do whatever needs to be done. No matter the cost, no matter our pride.
samwell_tarly We're west of Castle Black, but the Nightfort's closest to us. It was the first castle on the Wall. The Watch abandoned it during the reign of King Jaehaerys I. Too big, impossible to maintain. Other than Castle Black itself, the Nightfort's the perfect castle for us. It's got a secret sally port, the Black Gate, as old as the Wall itself. No one's used it for centuries, most likely. It leads through the Wall right down into the Nightfort, if no one knows how to find it, which, it just so happens I do.
gilly How do you know all that?
samwell_tarly I read about it in a very old book.
gilly You know all that from staring at marks on paper?
samwell_tarly Yes.
gilly You're like a wizard.
gilly Our father used to tell us that no wildling ever looked upon the Wall and lived. Here we are. Alive.
sandor_clegane Remember what happens to children who run. I'm your father and I'll do the talking.
pig_farmer The roads have gone right to hell, haven't they? Cracked three spokes this morning.
sandor_clegane Need a hand?
pig_farmer Need about eight hands.
pig_farmer Got to get this salt pork to The Twins in time for the wedding.
pig_farmer Many thanks.
arya_stark Don't! Don't kill him.
sandor_clegane Dead rats don't squeak.
arya_stark You're so dangerous, aren't you? Saying scary things to little girls. Killing little boys and old people. A real hard man you are.
sandor_clegane More than anyone you know.
arya_stark You're wrong. I know a killer. A real killer.
sandor_clegane That so?
arya_stark You'd be like a kitten to him. He'd kill you with his little finger.
sandor_clegane That him?
arya_stark No.
sandor_clegane Good.
arya_stark Don't kill him! Please. Please don't.
sandor_clegane You're very kind. Someday it'll get you killed.
osha Where are we?
bran_stark The Gift, I think. Brandon The Builder gave all this land south of the Wall to the Night’s Watch for their sustenance and support. Maester Luwin taught me that.
jojen_reed Doesn’t seem to be supporting anyone at the moment.
meera_reed It’s good land and there’s no war up here. Why leave?
bran_stark Wildlings.
bran_stark Sorry. But they come over the Wall and raid, steal, carry off women.
rickon_stark Old Nan said they turn your skull into a cup and make you drink your own blood from it.
rickon_stark That’s what Old Nan said.
jojen_reed There’s a storm coming.
bran_stark I don’t see any.
meera_reed It’s as good a place to shelter as any.
osha We can drink some blood while we wait. I don’t need much.
orell Only one old man and eight good horses.
tormund What’s one old man doing with eight horses?
jon_snow He breeds them for the Watch.
ygritte How’s he keep folks from stealing them?
jon_snow The Watch protects him.
orell Not today they don’t. He’s selling horses, he’s got some gold in there.
tormund And proper steel.
orell Let’s carve him up.
jon_snow We just take the horses and go. The old man’s no threat.
orell I keep telling you.
ygritte He’s an old man. A spear through the heart’s a better way to die than coughing up your last with no one but your horses to hear.
jon_snow The Watch might send a few men looking for a horse thief. They’ll send a lot more to hunt down murderers.
tormund I hope so. Killing crows in their castle is tough. Killing them out here in the open, that’s what we do.
tormund Spread out. Surround the hut and move in.
jon_snow Ygritte!
tormund Clear the barn!
arya_stark No one’s going to believe you’re a hog farmer if you eat them all.
sandor_clegane Best part of the animal.
sandor_clegane Don’t worry, they’re still there.
arya_stark I know they’re still there.
sandor_clegane You check every five minutes like you’re afraid they’re gonna move.
arya_stark I’m not afraid.
sandor_clegane Of course you are. You’re almost there and you’re afraid you won’t make it. The closer you get, the worse the fear gets. No point in trying to hide behind that face. I know fear when I see it. Seen it a lot.
arya_stark I knew fear when I saw it in you. You’re afraid of fire.
arya_stark When Beric’s sword went up in flames, you looked like a scared little girl.
arya_stark And I know why, too. I heard what your brother did to you. Pressed your face to the fire like you’re a nice juicy mutton chop.
sandor_clegane That give you some ideas?
arya_stark Might do.
sandor_clegane Go ahead then. You might get away. Might even make it there on your own. They’re just over the river. The closest you’ve been to family since Ilyn Payne snipped your daddy’s neck.
arya_stark Someday I’m gonna put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull.
bran_stark How are we going to get past the Wall? My uncle said it’s 700 feet high.
bran_stark How did you get past it?
osha Got in a boat and rowed past the Bay of Seals.
bran_stark It would take us two months to get to the Bay of Seals.
osha Some climb straight up the ice.
bran_stark Even Hodor’s not strong enough to climb the Wall with me on his back.
hodor Hodor!
jojen_reed Nineteen castles guard the Wall. Only three are still manned.
hodor Hodor!
jojen_reed One of those abandoned fortresses will give us a way through.
bran_stark My uncle said the gates were sealed with ice and stone when the castles were deserted.
meera_reed Well, we’ll have to open them up again.
old_man Whoa, whoa, whoa!
meera_reed There’s a rider out there.
jojen_reed Just one?
meera_reed There’s more.
hodor Hodor!
osha It’s just thunder, sweet giant.
hodor Hodor.
old_man I yield. I yield.
jojen_reed Wildlings.
osha Where’s Shaggydog and Summer?
bran_stark Hunting.
hodor Hodor!
jojen_reed Shhh, quiet, Hodor.
hodor Hodor!
jojen_reed Make him shut up. If they hear us…
bran_stark Hush, Hodor. No, no more Hodoring.
hodor Hodor!
bran_stark Hodor, calm down.
osha You need to keep quiet.
jojen_reed They’re gonna hear us.
bran_stark Hodor, be quiet.
bran_stark Hodor, calm down. Hodor, be quiet!
meera_reed What did you do?
bran_stark Nothing. I don’t know.
rickon_stark What’s That?
osha That’s a horse dying.
wildling#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Bring them over here.
wildling#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 That was the last of them. The rest are dead.
orell I heard shouting up there.
tormund Thunder.
orell I know the difference between shouting and thunder.
tormund Maybe it's ghosts.
tormund That won’t help you, grandpa.
tormund Where you riding?
old_man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Doesn’t matter now, does it?
tormund No, it doesn’t matter now.
orell Cut his throat or he’ll tell the crows we’re here.
tormund You understand.
old_man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Let me stand at least.
old_man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Let me go with a bit of dignity.
orell Make the crow kill him. You’re one of us now. Prove it.
jojen_reed The wolves are out there.
bran_stark I can’t do it by choice. I don’t know how. It happens in my dreams.
jojen_reed You’re a warg, Bran. It’s in your blood.
bran_stark I can’t.
jojen_reed You just did, with him.
jojen_reed A wolf is nothing compared to that.
old_man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 She looks sharp.
ygritte Do it. Do it.
orell Told ya. He’s still one of them.
tormund Go on, boy.
tormund Go on!
orell He’s a crow. He’ll always be a crow. And here’s his crow wife guarding him. He’ll stab us in the back first chance he gets.
tormund Kill him!
tormund He’s one of them!
ygritte No!
tormund Do you hear me?
tormund You’re not gonna die for one of them.
jojen_reed Do it. They’ll find us if you don’t.
jon_snow You were right the whole time.
daario_naharis When you hear a songbird’s whistle, you come. I’m a great whistler, the greatest in the land.
daario_naharis Daario Naharis.
daario_naharis That one was quick.
jorah_mormont There may be others.
daario_naharis I doubt it. The Yunkish prefer to let their slaves do their fighting for them.
jorah_mormont That’s what you call a few guards?
roslin_frey Lord Edmure, I hope I’m not a disappointment to you.
edmure_tully You’re a delight to me, my lady.
septon You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection.
septon In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one for eternity. Look upon each other and say the words.
edmure_tully_&_roslin_frey Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger. I am hers and she is mine from this day until the end of my days.
meera_reed Is that safe?
osha They’re long gone.
bran_stark You were right. I can get inside Summer’s mind whenever I want.
jojen_reed Of course you can. North of the Wall there are wildlings who can control all sorts of animals. But you did a lot more than that. You got inside Hodor’s mind.
bran_stark They can’t do that north of the Wall?
jojen_reed No one can do that. Anywhere.
bran_stark When I was looking through Summer’s eyes, I saw jon.
rickon_stark Where?
bran_stark He was with the wildlings. They tried to kill him but he got away.
osha He’ll be heading back to Castle Black then. That’s where we should go.
bran_stark For all we know, Castle Black’s already under attack. If this many wildlings got through-
osha I already told you. I’m not going north of the Wall.
bran_stark Everything Jojen told me is true. You saw what I did to Hodor. I have to find the three-eyed raven.
osha Listen to me, little lord.
bran_stark Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to come with me. It won’t be safe for Rickon.
rickon_stark Me? I’m coming with you.
bran_stark No. You and Osha and Shaggydog head for the Last Hearth. The Umbers are our bannermen. They’ll protect you.
rickon_stark I’m coming with you. I’m your brother. I have to protect you.
bran_stark Right now, I have to protect you.
bran_stark Robb’s at war and I’m going beyond the Wall. If something happens to us, you’re the heir to Winterfell.
bran_stark Will you know how to find the last Hearth?
osha You Southerners build your big castles and you never move. You’re easy to find.
rickon_stark We’re not Southerners.
rickon_stark And I don’t want to leave you.
osha Shhh. Come here, little soldier. You and me, we’re gonna have some adventures.
bran_stark You don’t have to do any of this.
osha Your family took me in and was good to me when they had no cause to be. Shhh. We’ll be fine, you and me. The Umbers are great warriors. Even I heard about them growing up. They’ll teach you how to swing a sword.
rickon_stark I know how to swing a sword.
bran_stark You’re leaving now? It’s the middle of the night.
osha I learned to walk in darkness.
osha Say your good-byes, little man.
osha Keep this one safe. He means the world to me.
daenerys_targaryen We’ve been waiting a long time. Haven’t we? Well I don’t know, you tell me. How long does it take to sack a city?
jorah_mormont It was just as you said. They did not believe until it was too late. Their slave soldiers threw down their spears and surrendered.
daenerys_targaryen And Daario Naharis?
daario_naharis The city is yours, my queen.
talisa_stark They’re good, aren’t they?
lothar_frey They ought to be because they cost enough.
blackfish Look at the crowd there.
catelyn_stark He complained about this marriage the entire ride from Riverrun and now look at him.
blackfish The God’s love to reward a fool.
catelyn_stark Uncle.
blackfish What? He’s my nephew, I love him. And he’s a damned fool.
catelyn_stark Don’t you drink, Lord Bolton?
roose_bolton Never do, my lady. Dulls the senses.
blackfish That’s the point. Didn’t you marry one of these Frey girls?
roose_bolton Aye. Lord Walder let me choose any of his granddaughters and promised me the girl’s weight in silver as a dowry. So I have a fat, young bride.
catelyn_stark I hope she makes you very happy.
roose_bolton Well, she’s made me very rich.
blackfish Pardon, my lord, my lady. I need to find a tree to piss on.
robb_stark My mother’s alone with roose Bolton. I should rescue her.
talisa_stark Your mother is less in need of rescue than any woman I’ve ever met.
robb_stark Be kind. She’s finally starting to like you.
talisa_stark And I like her. But if she had her way, I would be back in Volantis, playing my harp and you would be sitting over there , eating blackberries out of Roslin Frey’s hand.
robb_stark Perhaps I’ve made a terrible mistake.
robb_stark Striking your king is an act of treason.
talisa_stark No, don’t. Don’t insult them.
walder_frey Your Grace.
walder_frey The Septon has prayed his prayers, some words were said and Lord Edmure has wrapped my daughter in a cloak. But they are not yet man and wife. A sword needs a sheath . And a wedding needs a bedding . What does my sire say?
all@ To bed! To bed! To bed!
robb_stark If you think the time is right, Lord Walder, by all means, let us bed them.
all@ To bed! To bed! To bed!
edmure_tully Ho-ho! Careful now, ladies. Once you set that monster free, there’s no caging him again .
all@ To bed! To bed! To bed!
catelyn_stark Poor girl.
roose_bolton Every bride suffers the same. I’m sure you endured yours with grace.
catelyn_stark Oh, Ned forbade it. He said it wouldn’t be right if he broke a man’s jaw on our wedding night.
talisa_stark That is a very strange custom.
robb_stark I suppose it does seem strange from a foreigner’s perspective.
talisa_stark It seems normal to you?
robb_stark It’s tradition. Without the bedding ceremony, there’s no real proof the lord and lady consummated their marriage.
talisa_stark No, but there are other ways of providing proof.
robb_stark Boy or girl?
talisa_stark I don’t know. But if it’s a boy, I know what we should name him.
robb_stark Oh, do you? It seems to me the father should have some say in his son’s naming.
talisa_stark Eddard. Don’t you want to teach little Ned Stark how to ride horses?
robb_stark I do.
sandor_clegane Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
frey_guard Where are you going?
sandor_clegane Got salt pork for the feast.
frey_guard The feast is over.
sandor_clegane It doesn’t sound like it’s over.
frey_guard If I tell you it’s over, it’s over. Turn this cart around and get the hell out of here.
sandor_clegane Got pig’s feet, too .
frey_guard Are you soft in the head? Turn this cart around!
walder_frey Your Grace.
walder_frey I feel I’ve been remiss in my duties.
walder_frey I’ve given you meat and wine and music but I haven’t shown you the hospitality you deserve. My king has married and I owe my new queen a wedding gift.
catelyn_stark Robb!
man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 You ready to head home to Winterfell, eh?
man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Feast over yet, is it?
frey_man#unknown#GameOfThrones.Season03.Episode09 Aye, it’s over!
sandor_clegane It’s too late.
walder_frey The King in the North arises, heh heh.
catelyn_stark Lord Walder! Lord Walder, enough! Let it end! Please! He is my son! My first son! Let him go and I swear that we will forget this! I swear it by the Old Gods and New! We will take no vengeance.
walder_frey You already swore me one oath right here in my castle. You swore by all the Gods, your son would marry my daughter!
catelyn_stark Take me for a hostage but let Robb go! Robb, get up! Get up and walk out! Please! Please!
walder_frey And why I would let him do that?
catelyn_stark On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark, let him go or I will cut your wife’s throat!
walder_frey I’ll find another.
robb_stark Mother.
roose_bolton The Lannisters send their regards.

How to repair cordura
Cordura is a fabric used in some camping and sports gear. When the fabric has a hole in it, sewing the hole isn't possible, as this compromises the fabric's waterproof integrity. However, it is possible to repair Cordura using a patch and glue.
Lay the Cordura item on a flat surface with the outside of the fabric facing up. Line up the edges of the hole as best as you can.
Place a piece of transparent tape over the edges of the hole. The tape keeps the fabric stationary while you repair the Cordura.
Turn the fabric over so you can repair the hole from the rear of the fabric. Be careful when doing this so the tape on the front holds the fabric in place.
Cut a piece of Cordura repair material (see Resources below) to fit on the backside of the hole using scissors. It should measure ¼- to ½-inch larger all around than the hole.
Apply a thin layer of waterproof cloth sealant, such as Shoe Goo or Seam Grip, around the torn edges (see Resources below). Let it set for 2 minutes.
Lay the patch over the sealant. Smooth it out from the middle of the patch to the edges to remove any air bubbles and evenly distribute the sealant.
Put a sheet of waxed paper over the patched area. Lay a flat object, such as a book or sheet of wood over the waxed paper. Place a heavy object on top of the flat object. A gallon jug filled with water or sand is ideal. Let this set for 24 hours.
Remove the heavy object, flat object, waxed paper and transparent tape. Check the edges of the patch to see if they are secure. If they aren't, place a thin layer of the sealant around the edges to secure them. Let the sealant set for 24 hours.

sugar maple harvest, sugar shack.jpg
Harvesting maple sap begins around March, when warm days and cool nights trigger the sap to flow. Every gallon of sap that is collected makes only 1 gallon of syrup. Boiling the sap down to its syrupy sweet form can take all day, at least 12 hours. The sugar shack where this production takes places is often coated in a film of sticky sweetness as the water evaporating from the sap leaves sugary traces on everything it touches.

2006 Edna Valley Vineyard Paragon Pinot Noir
Silky red fruits, cranberry, wild strawberry, and redcurrant, are the highlights of this wine. Some basil and tarragon show on the mid-palate, along with sweeter cherries and strawberries. The curious aspect is on the nose, where the red fruits show clearly, but there is a curious underlying hint of darkness, a deep loamy depth with a bit of funk. Tannins are very light, acids quite bright. Cranberry and anise linger on the finish. Five years old now, this seems to be improving based upon early reviews, though perhaps not for a lot longer. It is a good food wine. Pair it with roast pork with mushroom gravy, letting the acids cleanse the palate for each new bite. Recommended.

Why (actually) is the night sky so bright in the city? How far up is that happening?
The recent news reported by the New York Times, the BBC and the NPR web sites (for example) as well as in the Iceland Review and Iceland Magazine sites, about the shutting-off of Reykjavik's streetlights in order to better enjoy the Aurora (northern lights), got me thinking.
There are many life-long city dwellers who've never really seen a relatively dark sky or more than a handful of stars. Even people who could do so sometimes have never made the trip out of the city far enough for the experience.
So I was curious if this "lights-out" technique could ever be tried in a city or somewhere else besides in Iceland.
I'd like to estimate how big of a radius of "lights-out" would an observer need for the sky to be noticeably darker. But for that I'd have to know what is actually doing the scattering, and how far up does it extend.
My question: Why (actually) is the night sky so bright in the city? How far up is that happening?
I'm also curious if it is generally stronger in some climates vs others.
You might want to summarize your question a bit and prioritize what your main points are that need answering.
@aretxabaleta done!
Its not so much the sky is bright, but it is the effect light pollution has on the eye. When lights are present (such as streetlights) the eye contracts to reduce light coming in, making it harder to see small features in the nighttime sky. Reducing light pollution allows the eye to see more details in the sky.
@BarocliniCplusplus that's an interesting point. Does that suggests that by simply finding or making a walled area (e.g. a building's rooftop) one could wait 10 minutes for vision to adjust and then see a dark sky, and thousands of stars and the milky way? It's really that simple?
@uhoh No, it isn't.
@gerrit unless the walls are really, really, really tall ;-)
@uhoh Then you could see only a really, really, really small section of the sky :) Actually, astronomers can do remarkable things nowadays.
@gerrit Interesting! How will “modern equipment” allow the Royal Observatory to now avoid some of the effects of light pollution at Greenwich?
What's actually happening is scattering of light, both off of aerosol particles and nitrogen and oxygen molecules.
For a review of quantitative models of light pollution as a function of distance from cities see Light Pollution Modeling . Some consider height as well as distance.
To get a rough estimate of what size of lights-out event would be needed to obtain a particular improvement in sky darkness, I would suggest looking at the light pollution map at Dark Site Finder or The night sky in the World.
Colours correspond to ratios between the artificial sky brightness and the natural sky brightness of: <0.01 (black), 0.01-0.11 (dark-gray), 0.11-0.33 (blue), 0.33-1 (green), 1-3 (yellow), 3-9 (orange), 9-27 (red), >27 (white)
Look at a coastal city such as Miami (which is extremely light-polluted) and see how the degree of light pollution drops off with distance from the city. Or look at a very isolated city such as Bismark, North Dakota. I would estimate 20 to 40 kilometers away from a source you see a factor of 10 reduction in artificial brightness.
Thanks for your answer! Is it better to just call it Raleigh scattering (via density fluctuations) than scattering off of individual nitrogen and oxygen molecules? Also, using a sky brightness map this way sort-of assumes that the roll-off in population density with distance from a city is fast enough that at 20 to 40 km from city center there is little contribution from local light sources.
Yes, Rayleigh scattering, like this http://www.colorado.edu/chemistry/volkamer/publications/group-pubs/thalman-2014-rscsNArO2air-accepted.pdf And yes I was trying to hand pick places where there were few light sources outside the main source, due to ocean or rural land, to compare to your situation where all the lights in a given region are turned off, and only those outside the region are contributing. But the model review article includes models with consideration of distributed populations.
Ah I see what you mean - very nice. I'll try to dig into the paper to see if I can extract some info about the importance of humidity, and an approximate ceiling. The Light Pollution Modeling paper is very helpful. Aerosols may be closer to the ground, but Raleigh scattering is stronger at lower density (and therefore higher altitudes) where there are larger fluctuations, so it's actually a really interesting problem!
I've just run across Skyglow: a retrieval of the approximate radiant intensity function of ground-based light sources by accident.
@uhoh: Polution scattering is Mie-scattering (aerosol particle scattering). Particle sizes > wavelength.
@Earthworm yes while the paper I've cited just above your comment doesn't say so explicitly, many of the aerosol particles it describes will be in the size range where Mie scattering is a useful approximation. I'm somewhat familiar with the mathematics of Mie scattering. This reminds me I can probably post an answer to that question now, unless you'd like to.

The Issue of Net-Zero
When it comes to climate change, ‘net zero’ or ‘carbon neutral’ are perhaps the most popular concepts. So, what is ‘net zero’?
Net zero means that the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere is equal to the amount of greenhouse gases captured from the atmosphere. In other words, the net zero issue is basically a pool problem: The amount of greenhouse gases entering the pool should not be more than the amount of greenhouse gases leaving the pool. In this context, there are two things that need to be done in order to achieve net zero: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible and to capture as much greenhouse gases from the atmosphere as possible.
When you are interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, you realize that most of the news in the media about climate change is related to this issue. Issues such as the use of green energy sources, the transition to electric vehicles, making the industry as environmentally friendly as possible, waste management and a more environmentally friendly approach to agriculture are all related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It should be noted that the introduction of new carbon taxes and the establishment of market-based mechanisms such as the carbon emission trading systems are also initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In our country, the Directorate of Climate Change, which was established on October 29 under the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, is authorized to establish the emission trading mechanism.
Since it is not possible to end greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed from the atmosphere is indispensable for achieving the net zero targets. There are different methods of carrying out this activity, which is also known as carbon dioxide removal or greenhouse gas removal in the literature. Forests come first as the most cost-effective solution. Forests not only draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they also prevent deforested areas from being used for emission-intensive activities such as industrial agriculture. Considering that it takes, on average, 10 years for a newly planted tree to reach its maximum carbon dioxide removal rate, it becomes clear once again why it is so important to stop deforestation[1]. The oceans perform a similar function to forests in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Given that two-thirds of the world is covered by water, with the protection and improvement of ocean habitat, the oceans are able to remove four times more carbon dioxide than all forests on earth[2].
Let me point out right away that there are also artificial methods of removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. With this method, which is called direct air capture and carbon storage, carbon dioxide taken from the air can be stored underground. However, this method is both expensive and weak in capacity. To date, 19 direct capture facilities have been built in the world, and the largest of these facilities started operating in Iceland on 8 September, 2021. The facility, called Orca, which costs 10 million dollars, can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a year, as much as the annual emissions of 870 cars[3].

United States
The funding was raised and the CD created to provide access to classical liberal texts for people in countries where they were not otherwise available. On this basis, and as the number we could produce was limited by copyright the US was not a target area.
However some organisations in the US that work with students promoting individual liberty and free societies were keen to have copies to distribute to their students, and were willing to pay for the CDs.
Having so many texts on one CD was a big benefit even in the US because it systemised content as an introduction to pro-market ideas and philosophy that could be more efficient than browsing on line and it provided a large number of texts for a low price and requiring minimal storage.
When the current 100,000 copies of the English version of the CD run out NFS is hoping to produce a third edition which will not include any texts whose reproduction is limited by copyright so that students can then copy them for friends, or teachers can make copies for their whole class..
This will mean some excellent texts by authors such as Hayek, Friedman, Bauer and Simons being left off but it will solve the challenge of having to limit the numbers produced and the need to fundraise for purchase of copyrights. And there are very many excellent texts whose copyrights have run out, so they are in the public domain, or whose copyright owners are willing to waive their rights in order for their texts to be made available to a much wider audience.
When this happens many more copies may circulate in the US.

2.3 One-Dimensional DFTs of Real Data
In many practical applications, the input data in[i] are purely real numbers, in which case the DFT output satisfies the “Hermitian” redundancy: out[i] is the conjugate of out[n-i]. It is possible to take advantage of these circumstances in order to achieve roughly a factor of two improvement in both speed and memory usage.
In exchange for these speed and space advantages, the user sacrifices some of the simplicity of FFTW’s complex transforms. First of all, the input and output arrays are of different sizes and types: the input is n real numbers, while the output is n/2+1 complex numbers (the non-redundant outputs); this also requires slight “padding” of the input array for in-place transforms. Second, the inverse transform (complex to real) has the side-effect of destroying its input array, by default. Neither of these inconveniences should pose a serious problem for users, but it is important to be aware of them.
The routines to perform real-data transforms are almost the same as those for complex transforms: you allocate arrays of double and/or fftw_complex (preferably using fftw_malloc or fftw_alloc_complex), create an fftw_plan, execute it as many times as you want with fftw_execute(plan), and clean up with fftw_destroy_plan(plan) (and fftw_free). The only differences are that the input (or output) is of type double and there are new routines to create the plan. In one dimension:
fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_r2c_1d(int n, double *in, fftw_complex *out,
unsigned flags);
fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_c2r_1d(int n, fftw_complex *in, double *out,
unsigned flags);
for the real input to complex-Hermitian output (r2c) and complex-Hermitian input to real output (c2r) transforms. Unlike the complex DFT planner, there is no sign argument. Instead, r2c DFTs are always FFTW_FORWARD and c2r DFTs are always FFTW_BACKWARD. (For single/long-double precision fftwf and fftwl, double should be replaced by float and long double, respectively.)
Here, n is the “logical” size of the DFT, not necessarily the physical size of the array. In particular, the real (double) array has n elements, while the complex (fftw_complex) array has n/2+1 elements (where the division is rounded down). For an in-place transform, in and out are aliased to the same array, which must be big enough to hold both; so, the real array would actually have 2*(n/2+1) elements, where the elements beyond the first n are unused padding. (Note that this is very different from the concept of “zero-padding” a transform to a larger length, which changes the logical size of the DFT by actually adding new input data.) The kth element of the complex array is exactly the same as the kth element of the corresponding complex DFT. All positive n are supported; products of small factors are most efficient, but an O(n log n) algorithm is used even for prime sizes.
As noted above, the c2r transform destroys its input array even for out-of-place transforms. This can be prevented, if necessary, by including FFTW_PRESERVE_INPUT in the flags, with unfortunately some sacrifice in performance. This flag is also not currently supported for multi-dimensional real DFTs (next section).
Readers familiar with DFTs of real data will recall that the 0th (the “DC”) and n/2-th (the “Nyquist” frequency, when n is even) elements of the complex output are purely real. Some implementations therefore store the Nyquist element where the DC imaginary part would go, in order to make the input and output arrays the same size. Such packing, however, does not generalize well to multi-dimensional transforms, and the space savings are miniscule in any case; FFTW does not support it.
An alternative interface for one-dimensional r2c and c2r DFTs can be found in the ‘r2r’ interface (see section The Halfcomplex-format DFT), with “halfcomplex”-format output that is the same size (and type) as the input array. That interface, although it is not very useful for multi-dimensional transforms, may sometimes yield better performance.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to a drawbar arrangement for, and a method of, adjustably interconnectably positioning two wheeled cargo units of a vehicle at any one of a plurality of spacings apart from each other, as well as a remotely controlled suspension system for, and a method of, adjustably positioning a wheeled subframe at any one of a plurality of positions relative to a cargo unit of a vehicle.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional truck, including a power unit and a van body for holding cargo, is typically pivotably connected by a kingpin assembly at a fixed pivot point to a semi-trailer which holds additional cargo. As considered along the direction of advancement of the vehicle, the van body is sometimes referred to herein as the front or leading cargo unit, while the semi-trailer is sometimes referred to as the rear or trailing cargo unit. The total cargo or payload of these cargo units depends on many factors, including the power unit rating, the type of material used in the construction of the cargo units, and the physical dimensions of each cargo unit.
It is conventional to interconnect the leading and trailing cargo units at a spacing along the longitudinal direction of advancement at a fixed distance on the order of 24 inches. This fixed spacing has been found to be quite satisfactory for highway travel. However, in some applications, for example, for city travel where the street grade is not altogether level, experience has shown that the top of the trailing cargo unit could hit and cause structural damage to the back of the leading cargo unit, particularly to the locking hardware on the top of the rear doors of the leading cargo unit. To prevent such damage, it would be desirable to space the cargo units apart at distances greater than 24 inches.
The fixed 24-inch spacing between the cargo units requires rollover dock plates to be placed on the floor to span the spacing between the leading and trailing cargo units when unloading or loading the same. Also, weather-protective shields must be installed overhead to span the distance between the cargo units. Such additional dock plates and shields must be separately carried on board and, aside from their tendency to be misplaced and lost, reduce the overall payload of the vehicle.
Still another problem associated with a vehicle having a fixed 24-inch spacing between the cargo units is that side doors are required to unload and load the vehicle. A 24-inch spacing is simply not enough for trucking personnel and cargo to fit through with clearance. In any event, many docking areas are designed to load and unload trucks through rear doors and, hence, the use of side doors for this purpose is not altogether desirable.
In order to provide a variable length connection between a pulled trailer and a tandem-connected trailer, the prior art has proposed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,230,335, a telescoping wheeled dolly. The dolly includes a number of tubes which are telescoped into and out of one another to the desired overall length to adjust the spacing between the trailers. However, such wheeled dollies are not load-bearing arrangements. The weight of the cargo in both trailers is supported entirely by the wheels and is not transferred through the telescoped tubes. Also, there is a considerable amount of lateral sway in such wheeled dolly designs due to the build-up of tolerances caused by the many interfitted tubes.
Related to the selective changing of the overall distance between the cargo units is the selective variation of the weight distribution of the payload relative to the wheels of the vehicle. U.S. Pat. No. 3,834,736 discloses an adjustable kingpin assembly operative for adjustably interconnecting a power unit of a truck and a trailer for varying the load distribution and overall length of the vehicle. Also known in the art are U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,738,462; 3,900,213 and 3,476,405. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5cae92df24b85a90ff81261b22651ca044ee136ed49569108ea53563f2945033'} |
Front Office View
New Orleans Saints never stood a chance without Sean Payton
Vince Lombardi once said, "We never lose, but sometimes the clock runs out on us."
The New Orleans Saints certainly weren't losers this season; they fought through a number of obstacles -- many unprecedented -- with toughness and determination. But the clock has run out on them.
Thursday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons sealed the 5-7 Saints' fate in the NFC South. To make the playoffs now, they'll need to secure a wild-card spot -- which would take a miracle.
Actually, it might take even more than that, because the Saints are not playing like a good team. They have too many problems on defense, too many problems on their offensive line, and, most of all, are making too many costly mistakes.
Can all of these problems be blamed on the fallout from the team's bounty scandal? No, but most are related to the absence of coach Sean Payton, who was suspended for the season as part of that fallout.
After I learned in March that Payton wanted to bring in Bill Parcells, his former boss with the Dallas Cowboys, to take his place with the Saints on an interim basis, I wrote that it was a great idea. Replacing Payton with an outsider who had Parcells' presence and command might have been the only way to offset the impact of the suspension.
The coaches who did end up stepping in, assistants Aaron Kromer and Joe Vitt, have done the best job they could have, but filling Payton's shoes is not an easy task, especially when it comes to game preparation. What we've seen in New Orleans is that there's a huge difference between being a head coach and just being in charge of the other assistants.
Payton had the ability to oversee the entire operation, ensure that the team played in the style and manner he thought would best help it win, and bring fear to the players. These are the things the Saints miss most.
Never forget, fear always does the work of reason. Vitt and Kromer likely haven't been able to put real fear into the Saints locker room, because they are managing the team -- not leading it. Leaders do the right thing, while managers merely do things right. Without Payton, it must be hard, if not impossible, to know the right thing to do on a weekly basis.
Coaches need coaching. Like players, they need someone above them demanding that they improve and perform their best. Coaching the coaches is a job requirement of the head man, and it's vital to his success.
But coaching the coaches must be especially difficult for an assistant who knows that, in a few weeks or months, he'll be back working alongside the staff he's been tasked with leading. Those circumstances made the situation facing Kromer and Vitt in New Orleans quite daunting, and in reality, few could have handled it.
A head coach in a normal situation might have walked into defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's office and ordered him to pressure less and cut down on the scheme each week. Can you imagine Vitt or Kromer doing that without offending Spagnuolo or over-stepping their boundaries? Can you imagine either man telling offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael to use less scat protection and run the ball more? Or telling receivers coaches Carter Sheridan and Henry Ellard to demand more attention to detail from their group? I can't.
Therein lies the difference between a manager and a leader. Payton had no problem being demanding; he embraced confrontation and held everyone accountable for their work. Without him there to monitor things on an hourly basis, attention to detail slips, and games are lost.
Again, this is not meant as an indictment of either Vitt or Kromer. I'm merely attempting to illustrate how difficult it is to replace a head coach.
When Payton returns to the office -- assuming he and the Saints are as close to working out a new contract as general manager Mickey Loomis recently indicated -- the Saints will have their leader back at the helm. They'll be hearing the one voice they need to hear, reminding them what to focus on. Most importantly, they'll have fear in the building again.
Ten thoughts around the NFL
1) Everyone's talking about the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback situation, but few have mentioned how well the Niners' offensive line has played and how dominant it has become. All five starters are physically imposing, looking like they could be power forwards in the NBA, helping both Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick succeed. I have yet to evaluate a unit this year that can dominate the line of scrimmage like the 49ers' offensive line, and credit is due to offensive line coach Mike Solari and strength coach Mark Uyeyama.
2) The Indianapolis Colts are just 2-3 on the road, where Andrew Luck has thrown 10 interceptions and just seven passes of 25 yards or more. On Sunday, the Colts visit the Detroit Lions. If the Colts are going to make the playoffs, they must treat this contest like a playoff game, and find a way to be as productive on the road as they are at home. That will start with the offensive line, which must do a better job protecting Luck away from Lucas Oil Stadium.
3) A ton of teams might potentially need a quarterback next season. The Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and New York Jets all might be searching for a signal-caller in the draft. The problem is, it doesn't seem like there's going to be enough of those to go around. The Eagles and Browns might be forced to give young quarterbacks Nick Foles and Brandon Weeden more time to develop, thanks to this apparent shortage.
4) Since throwing for 352 yards in a Week 6 loss to the Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder has not played well at all. The Vikings have gone 2-3 in that span; in two of those contests, Ponder threw for less than 100 yards. This has to make the Vikings front office nervous. Might Ponder not be the long-term answer? Or can his struggles be blamed on a lack of talent around him? Three of the Vikings' final five games are on the road, where Ponder is just 3-8 in his career and 1-4 this season. If Minnesota is to make the playoffs, Ponder will have to play much better.
5) The Houston Texans need to get more pressure from the outside, and the burden for providing it will fall to rookie first-round draft pick Whitney Mercilus and soon-to-be free agent Connor Barwin. With the protection always sliding to star defender J.J. Watt, Mercilus and Barwin are left to deal with one-on-one matchups, which they must win if the Texans are to continue playing as much man-to-man in the secondary as they like to.
6) Many believe changes are coming for the San Diego Chargers. Whatever the team does with the coach and general manager positions, the hardest decision will be figuring out if Philip Rivers can ever regain his old Pro Bowl form. Rivers has suffered the most from all of the Chargers' recent player departures, especially up front; he seems to have no confidence that his line will be able to protect him. Can Rivers bounce back after this season, or is he on the downside of his career? That's a tough question to answer accurately right now.
7) Jason Babin's release from the Philadelphia Eagles was shocking on the surface, but in reality, the team knew he was not going to be with them next season. They need the next five games to see what Phillip Hunt, Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham can do.
8) If I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers, I'm not playing Ben Roethlisberger until he is really ready. I know the team needs to win to keep its wild-card hopes alive, but an unhealthy Roethlisberger would not last long behind that offensive line. Apparently they agree with me, as Roethlisberger has been ruled out for Sunday's game.
Harrison: Week 13 predictions
9) The Seattle Seahawks have to find a way to win a road game. Against the Chicago Bears this week, the matchup could go in Seattle's favor. The Seahawks' defensive line can dominate the Bears' poor offensive unit; if they take control of the game and force turnovers, Seattle might just notch its second road win of the season.
10) I know the New York Jets haven't been playing well, but they could potentially win four of their last five games (at home against the Arizona Cardinals, on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, at home against the San Diego Chargers and on the road against the Buffalo Bills), which might be enough to prevent owner Woody Johnson from making any serious changes. They only way the Jets lose to the Cardinals is if Mark Sanchez turns the ball over and lets Arizona score a bunch on defense; the Cardinals' offense is not going to produce much with rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley.

In photography focusing is a process of setting the focus so that the scene would contain all the subjects needed inside the depth of field.
In theatre, focusing is the aiming, shuttering and coloring of lighting instruments. With conventional lights focusing is done manually and consists of pointing the light at a specific area of the stage as determined by the lighting designer, adjusting for a hard or soft edge to the beam, and in the case of ellipsoidals, shaping the beam through the use of shutters and gobos.
In the case of moving lights, focusing is done through a computerized light board.
This process is usually done after the set as been loaded in, but before the actors take the stage. Depending on the size of the show this process can take a few hours to a few weeks.

The Brontës
Haworth Parish Church will forever be linked with the novels and poems of the Bronte sisters, who’s legacy brings many visitors to the church every year.
The Brontes came to Haworth in 1820, as their father, Patrick, had been offered the living of Haworth Parish Church. Patrick had first been asked to come to Haworth in 1819 by the Vicar of Bradford. However, the Vicar had gone over the church trustee’s heads in appointing Bronte, so they were against the idea. Feeling he could not become incumbent of Haworth without the trustee’s support, Bronte declined the position and Samuel Redhead was appointed in his place. As Redhead had also been appointed without consulting the trustees, the parishioners of Haworth were understandably riled, and their unruly behaviour lead to Redhead becoming the shortest serving incumbent in the church’s history, lasting only six weeks.
In 1820, with the trustee’s agreement, Patrick began the 41 years he would spend as Vicar of Haworth Parish Church. Patrick was a conscientious priest, carrying out his duties as well as directing the National and Sunday Schools. Patrick’s Sunday School is still standing today, you can find out more information about it here. He was a talented preacher and this combined with the high birthrate meant he baptised around 290 children a year. Unfortunately due to the fact that at that time, the life expectancy in Haworth was only around 22 years of age, and 40 per cent of children dying before their sixth birthday, Bronte also held many funerals.
Patrick Bronte’s memory is sometimes overshadowed by that of his famous and talented children. Yet in Haworth, then a small, busy, over-crowded mill town, he made a lasting difference to the population with his improvements in education and sanitation as well as performing the role of a popular rural vicar.
Most of the Bronte family are interred with Haworth Parish Church. Anne Bronte is the only member of the family not to rest in the family vault beneath the floor at the east end of Church. She died of tuberculosis in Scarborough, North Yorkshire and is buried at St Mary’s Church in the seaside town. Her sister Charlotte who was with her when she died decided that her father Patrick who had buried both his only son Branwell and their sister Emily in the previous 12 months could not stand burying yet another his children so a burial in Scarborough was arranged.
Maria Bronte died of gynaecological cancer after living Haworth for 18 months while daughters Elizabeth, Maria, Emily and Anne as well as their brother Branwell died of tuberculosis. Charlotte the last surviving sibling married Patrick’s curate Arthur Bell Nicholls but died when she was five months pregnant at the age of 38.
But all the rest of the family lie in the tomb. That’s father Patrick, mother Maria and five of their children: Elizabeth, Maria, Branwell, Emily and Charlotte.
Patrick is still Haworth Church’s longest serving minister – 41 years – and as none of his children had children of their own there are no surviving members of that particular family line. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9864795804023744}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '21884', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:MLKXANW3ZAANQVZB7FXZEOKWOWZC6INL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b6694423-5832-4238-be42-7a93ec944d14>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 17, 15, 9, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '94.126.40.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:CUQGGOMCMCPJBFBZNOAXRLYXRBFHR6OX', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d18c3efb-db0b-4251-8bee-642231612e62>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.haworthchurch.co.uk/history/the-brontes/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e467dc74-48d4-44ac-84ab-bf20139f11dd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '516', 'url': 'http://www.haworthchurch.co.uk/history/the-brontes/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-186-35.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': '0.020513951778411865', 'original_id': '0708dd260e7be809af87ba48edd1ade07f0cb1d6de63a470f6eebdb9e53dcc2e'} |

Langston Hughes
African-American Harlem Renaissance
"Hang yourself, poet, in your own words.
Otherwise, you are dead."
Langston Hughes was one of the major voices of the Harlem Renaissance. He blended the literary freedom of American writers such as Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg with the rhythms of blues and jazz, and spoke honestly and profoundly about an unfamiliar America: an America of oppression, of poverty, of struggles, of racial hatred. But his writings did not only depict the hardships of African-American life, they also painted pictures of a group finding its own voice and place in a weird, expanding country that pretended they didn't exist. The work of Langston Hughes brings forth a time and existence that is new to everybody who reads it, and breaks down barriers separating black and white.
Langston Hughes was born under the sign of Aquarius on February 1st, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri. His father left at an early age, and Langston was bounced through various Southern towns and cities. While living with a Grandmother he was introduced to The Crisis, an influential magazine edited by W.E.B. DuBois, and he was also taken to see Booker T. Washington give a speech.
Hughes' literary career began formally after visiting his father, who was working as a farmer in Mexico. Though he had published in school newspapers, Langston found his literary voice while taking a ferry across the ancient Mississippi river. It was then, at 19, when he wrote "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," a touching poem conjuring up the images of his roots and heritage, and recognizing all the rivers of the world as one and the same.
I've known rivers:
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
"Rivers" was published in The Crisis which led Hughes to New York, attending Columbia University and meeting with W.E.B. DuBois and Countee Cullen. In 1922 Hughes left Columbia University and began working menial jobs around New York, while publishing his work in The Crisis. After witnessing the blues in a Harlem cabaret he wrote "The Weary Blues," a definitive poem that captured the essence of Harlem in the image of a solitary piano player, playing his songs into the deep night.
After traveling to Africa one year (viewing with his eyes the unconscious memories found in "Rivers"), and Europe the next, Langston became part of the Renaissance in full swing in 1925. His poem "The Weary Blues" landed him a book deal, and he published a book of the same name in 1926. He met with the literati of Harlem, such as fellow writer Zora Neale Hurston, who he later tried to write a play with, though she abandoned the project due to ego clashes.
While Weary Blues was well received and praised, his next volume Fine Clothes to the Jew was criticized for being too harsh and negative. People were not willing to look at the darker side of African-American life, and some middle class African-American writers were not willing to be identified with the poor working class African-Americans. After publishing Fine Clothes to the Jew, Hughes would continue to write gritty and honest plays and poems, especially through the Great Depression of the 1930s. His poetry took on an increasingly political tone during this time, and his poems reflect an abandonment of the blues and jazz that influenced his earlier work, taking on a more straightforward and dry tone. His associations with radical political groups in Europe led to the FBI opening a file on Hughes, investigating him for alleged Communist activities. Poems such as One More S. in the USA and Ballads of Lenin probably didn't help much.
During the 30s and 40s Hughes took the time to branch out into play writing and even musicals, such as Street Scene which would be produced many times in several different cities. He published an autobiography entitled Big Sea, which was somewhat overshadowed by the publication of Richard Wright's classic novel Native Son. Hughes also started a series of humor columns starring his Harlem every man, Jess B. Semple, which was collected and published in several volumes.
With Montage of a Dream Deferred, Langston continued to explore his natural ability to combine musical elements into poetry. The collection swayed in and out of different themes, focusing on contemporary Harlem. It contains two of the best-known poems of Langston Hughes, Theme For English B and Harlem (2). It may be of some interest to see how Langston's use of jazz rhythm and sound correlates to the work of the beats, specifically Jack Kerouac's experimentation with what he called "spontaneous bop prosody."
Hughes continued to work throughout his last years, publishing and reading. He recorded albums with jazz backing, read at the Newport Jazz Festival, and wrote a series of books for young children. He was inducted into the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1961, His last project was a collection called The Best Short Stories by Negro Writers: An Anthology from 1899 to the Present, published in 1969. In this collection he chose to include the first published story by a young Alice Walker.
He entered a hospital on May 6th and underwent prostate surgery a few days later. He died May 22nd.

HELLOOOO🙋🙋 finally I’m back😌 today we’ll talk about Avocado,🍈 some might ask What Is Avocado?
Avocado has a high fatty acid content but contains extremely low levels of cholesterol. Many people tend to stop eating avocado due to its high-calorie content, thinking that it may add to their weight. However, a number of calories are very small when compared to butter, and other high-calorie dietary items. Also, much of the fat content comes from unique sources, like phytosterols, which are beneficial for a number of reasons. This article discusses the various health benefits of avocado and its nutritional content, but first, let’s learn a bit more about this valuable and beneficial fruit.
Avocados are also known as Alligator Pears, which is mainly due to its shape and the leathery appearance of its skin. It is a fruit that is grown on Persea Americana, which is an evergreen tree from the Lauraceae family. Although it doesn’t resemble these relatives, avocados are closely related to cinnamon and bay laurel. It is usually tall and can grow up to a height of 65 feet. The approximate weight of avocados is between eight ounces and three pounds, depending on the variety of avocado. It is harvested early and then allowed to ripen gradually when it is sold commercially. This is why avocados are called climacteric fruits, which only ripen after harvesting, just like bananas.
Avocados are available in many varieties, but the most popular of all is the creamy Hass variety. Avocado trees grow well in tropical, sub-tropical and equatorial areas, but like so many other fruits, the cultivation of avocados is the easiest in the Mediterranean climate. That being said, avocados originated in the state of Puebla, Mexico, where evidence in caves dates back to at least 10,000 B.C. Ancient Central American and South American cultures were known to use avocados that had grown wild, but it is unclear if cultivation began until the last few thousand years.
health benefits of avocados are:
Aids in Digestion
It is believed that avocados are soothing for the intestine and therefore aid in digestion. They contain soluble and insoluble fibers that help to keep the digestive system running smoothly. These two types of fiber are very important for digestion because they bulk up stools and help to ensure the smooth passage of food through the intestinal tract. Furthermore, they stimulate gastric and digestive juices so nutrients are absorbed in the most efficient and rapid way. Finally, they reduce the symptoms from conditions like constipation and diarrhea. All in all, the huge amount of fiber found in avocados (40% of daily requirement per serving) makes this a very important food for optimizing your digestive health.
Dental Care
Consumption of avocados also helps in preventing bad breath, which is primarily caused due to indigestion or an upset stomach. Halitosis can be eliminated by improving digestive health, and the antibacterial and antioxidant flavonoids found in avocados also kill the bacteria in your mouth that can result in bad breath as well. Avocados have also been connected with preventing oral cancers!

Improves Vision
Avocados help to keep your eyes healthy. They contain carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help to protect your eyes against cataracts, eye diseases related to age, and macular degeneration. Those conditions are often caused by free radicals that accumulate in the tissues of the eyes. The antioxidant activity of those special carotenoids neutralize the effects of those dangerous free radicals.Time to show a very easy recipe and special too.
• 2 large avocados should be firm
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons salt divided use
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oildsc_1574
1. Peel and seed the avocados and cut them into 1/2 inch slices.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
3. Dredge each avocado slice in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture and roll in panko crumbs. Repeat with all avocado slices
4. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add a single layer of avocado slices to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
5. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining avocado slices.
6. Sprinkle the avocado slices with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and serve immediately, with dipping sauces if desired.

2. My daughter, son-in-law and I love avocados. My husband needs to eat them but he just doesn’t like the texture in his salad. Maybe your recipe would do it for him? But we only use an air fryer – high convection heat without oil – to “fry” if we must. Last night we had Southwest Chicken Soup and topped it with slices of avocado. That was a treat as well. He passed on adding them as a garnishment….

3. That’s what I put in my salad, the doctor recommend it, not that specifically but to eat healthy. What I didn’t know that avocado as I hate it I mix it up with some other things,I didn’t know it was low on cholesterol…. I’m just a dummy.
I saw you read my crazy things about the diet, hope you enjoyed the dumb crazy writing, and yes, I do try eat as healthy as I can if not I wouldn’t follow people like you. But as you can understand the blog is called Crazy Life so I have to put some crazy things up, and……well just make me something to eat is almost 3 p.m in Spain and I’m hungry.

KYIV -- Ukrainian lawmaker Vyacheslav Kyrylenko has called on the Ministry of Taxation to check if all Russian entertainers touring Ukraine have their work permits in order.
Kyrylenko's statement comes after the migration service in the Russian city of Saratov said that nine members of the Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy had been fined 18,000 rubles ($555) and concert organizers fined 225,000 rubles ($6,930) on November 2 for performing in Russia without a work permit.
The chief of Ukraine's presidential directorate for humanitarian development, Yuriy Bohutskyy, told RFE/RL that he plans to discuss the situation with Russian officials on November 8.
Ukrainian-Russian ties have been tense lately as Moscow has been pressuring Ukraine to give up plans to sign an EU Association Agreement later this month.
The quality and independence of Ukraine's media as a whole are still limited, and RFE/RL's Radio Svoboda is the country's most popular and trusted international broadcaster. Radio Svoboda celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2014. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c6cd2e2f0c51e7eaf33f6a2ecfcf466c4534b1d21bf1f4f94822ff3e78ab3bb0'} |
Introduction {#sec1-1}
============
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is the most severe and potentially life-threatening iatrogenic complication, associated with ovulation induction.\[[@ref1][@ref2]\] This syndrome involves ovarian enlargement, along with the growth of multiple follicular cysts and acute fluid shifts from the intravascular to the extravascular space due to vascular hyperpermeability.\[[@ref3]\]
The clinical manifestations of OHSS include ovarian enlargement, ascites, oliguria, abdominal pain, electrolyte imbalance, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and even thrombosis and death in severe cases.\[[@ref1][@ref2]\] OHSS, as an iatrogenic condition, often occurs following the use of drugs for ovulation induction. However, in extremely rare cases, it has been identified in normal spontaneous pregnancies.\[[@ref4]\]
OHSS has been rarely described in non-pregnant women with primary hypothyroidism and gonadotroph pituitary adenoma.\[[@ref5]\] On the other hand, spontaneous occurrence of OHSS has been reported in cases of multiple pregnancies or hydatidiform moles because of abnormally high serum levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). In addition, high levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) seem to stimulate the ovaries in hypothyroidism.\[[@ref5][@ref6]\] Herein, we describe the case of a woman with spontaneous singleton pregnancy, complicated by OHSS without any underlying diseases. The goal of this study was to raise awareness about this rare clinical condition.
Case Report {#sec1-2}
===========
A 28-year-old primigravida woman at 8 weeks of gestation presented with severe generalized abdominal pain and distention 1 week before admission to the hospital. Her vital signs were as follows: respiratory rate, 24/min; pulse rate, 110 beats/min, and blood pressure 110/80 mmHg. No fever was detected in the patient, and the results of tilt test were negative. She complained of nausea without vomiting, while she had no medical history of diseases. Her clinical examination revealed abdominal distention with generalized tenderness and shifting dullness in the abdomen. There were also rales in the base of the lungs. She had not taken any drugs for ovulation induction, and her legs were edematous.
The laboratory tests showed hematocrit of 48% and mild leukocytosis of 14000/mL. The hCG level was 96103 U/L. The serum concentration of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, electrolyte, estradiol, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were normal. The thyroid function tests were also found to be normal. The CA-125 level was 86 U/mL (normal \<35 U/mL), while the levels of CA15-3, CA19-9, and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) were normal.
Abdominopelvic ultrasonography showed a single viable intrauterine pregnancy at 8 weeks of gestation according to the fetal Crown-Rump Length (CRL) with normal amniotic fluid. Both ovaries were enlarged and multicystic. The left ovary was measured at 120 × 110 mm with multiple cysts; the largest cysts were 65 × 49 mm, and 40 × 39 mm, respectively. Also, the right ovary was measured to be 124 × 85 mm with multiple cysts, the largest cysts were 59 × 60 mm and 40 × 49 mm, respectively. Free fluid was detected in the pelvic cavity, as well as the right and left paracolic gutters.
The patient was under careful observation following her admission to the hospital. Diagnosis of ovarian cancer was not established considering the patient\'s age, pregnancy status, normal tumor markers, and detection of bilateral, thin-walled, and multiloculated ovarian cysts without papillary projection. Diagnosis of OHSS was established, and inpatient conservative management was performed. During hospitalization, vital signs, weight, abdominal circumference, fluid intake/output, serial hematocrit, and electrolytes were measured, and renal and liver function tests were carried out.
Finally, the patient was discharged after 1 week when her signs had partially regressed. During the outpatient follow-up at 18 weeks of gestation, the signs and symptoms of OHSS had completely resolved. Based on the ultrasound scan, the size of enlarged ovaries had decreased, and free fluid was not detected in the abdominal cavity. The duration of OHSS was 10 weeks. The patient\'s pregnancy continued until term uneventfully without any complications. She was followed-up during her pregnancy, and vaginal delivery was performed at 39 weeks of gestation. A healthy male newborn was delivered with an Apgar score of 10 and weight of 3,100 g. Three weeks after delivery, both ovaries were normal on the ultrasound in the postpartum checkup.
Ethical considerations {#sec2-1}
----------------------
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (IR.MUMS.REC.1395.522). The patient\'s consent was obtained prior to preparing this case report. In the form the patient(s) has/have given his/her/their consent for his/her/their images and other clinical information to be reported in the journal. The patients understand that their names and initials will not be published and due efforts will be made to conceal their identity, but anonymity cannot be guaranteed.
Discussion {#sec1-3}
==========
OHSS is typically associated with the use of gonadotropins for ovulation induction or ovarian hyperstimulation in the treatment of infertile patients. Its development after spontaneous pregnancy is extremely rare, although it is somewhat more common in multiple gestations due to the high level of HCG or hydatidiform moles related to abnormally high levels of serum hCG. It has been also suggested that high levels of TSH could stimulate the ovaries in women with hypothyroidism.\[[@ref5][@ref6]\]
In the spontaneous form of OHSS, follicular recruitment and growth occur later through promiscuous stimulation, and the clinical manifestations usually develop 8-14 weeks after amenorrhea. This form of OHSS culminates at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, unlike the pharmacologic type, which usually develops 3-5 weeks after amenorrhea.\[[@ref6][@ref7]\] Management of OHSS is dependent on its severity. Evidence shows that early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent serious sequelae in patients.\[[@ref8]\]
Severe OHSS requires hospital admission and prompt management to replace the lost intravascular volume and prevent potentially fatal complications, particularly renal failure and thromboembolic events.\[[@ref9]\] These patients should be closely monitored to ensure that they do not progress into the critical phase. In patients with significant ascites, paracentesis can be helpful due to reduction in intraabdominal pressure and improvement of renal blood flow with a subsequent increase in urine production.\[[@ref10]\]
In a review of the literature, different cases of spontaneous pregnancy were reported in association with OHSS. Also, hypothyroidism was reported due to spontaneous OHSS with molar pregnancies or familial spontaneous OHSS. In this regard, Bassam *et al.* (2003) reported the case of a hypothyroid patient with OHSS and concluded that regression of ovarian cysts can be expected with initiation of thyroxin replacement.\[[@ref11]\] Rachad *et al.* (2011) also presented a case of spontaneous OHSS with an invasive molar pregnancy.\[[@ref9]\]
Arora *et al.* reported OHSS in a woman, who developed severe OHSS 3 days after a molar pregnancy evacuation.\[[@ref12]\] However, our patient had a normal pregnancy. For the first time, Davoudian (2015) reported a pregnant woman with placentomegaly and enlarged multicystic ovaries. He described Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia (PMD) associated with spontaneous OHSS and hypothesized that the most likely pathogenesis is ovarian stimulation by PMD-derived vascular endothelial growth factors;\[[@ref13]\] however, this was not the case in our patient.
In another study, OHSS was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman after delivery;;\[[@ref14]\] nevertheless, our patient was in the first trimester of her pregnancy. Our patient is an example of OHSS, without evidence of thyroid or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or factors involved in spontaneous OHSS, as mentioned earlier. It should be noted that other cases of OHSS described in the literature were recurrent and familial.
We described an interesting case of OHSS in a primigravida woman, with no family history of OHSS during pregnancy. Since conservative management is usually the initial approach, surgery should be only used in the event of ovarian rupture, torsion, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, or ectopic pregnancy. It should be noted that case reports do not provide solid evidence, and the medical condition should be evaluated by professionals in each case.
Conclusion {#sec1-4}
==========
OHSS is a very rare, but potentially fatal complication in spontaneous pregnancies. Early diagnosis and management of spontaneous OHSS are very important in the prevention of severe complications. Therefore, clinicians should be familiar with the differential diagnosis of OHSS if a patient presents with massive ascites and other symptoms of ovarian cancer, such as enlarged ovaries.

Orbit - Episode One
Post categories:
Aira Idris Aira Idris | 22:00 PM, Sunday, 4 March 2012
The first episode of Orbit aired on BBC Two, 4th March 9pm, and is now available to watch on iplayer. What did you think?
In the first episode we travel from July - the height of summer in the Northern Hemisphere - to December, and the darkest days of winter. As well as following the seasonal change from summer to winter, the film explores one of the most everyday but significant aspects of our journey around the Sun - the fact that the Earth is spinning on its axis.
We start just inside the Arctic Circle in northern Norway, on a special day. We wanted to film the day when the Sun set for the first time in more than two months - an evocative moment that captures both the seasonal change from summer to winter, and the importance of the Earth's daily 24 hour cycle.
Through this film we wanted to find events which highlighted the importance of the Earth's spin. So Helen goes hurricane chasing to show how the Earth's spin sets weather systems rotating.
Hurricanes was a great way to highlight spin and last years season provided many events to explore - an Atlantic season which some argued was unusual.
Another way we wanted to explore spin was by visiting a place which has the biggest tides in the world. Kate travels to the Bay of Fundy in Canada to show how tides too are a consequence of the Earth's spin.
Whilst back home, Helen uses the Earth's spin to explain why Britain's winter weather is so unpredictable and changeable.
UPDATE 16:00 5th March: We've had a lot of feedback on twitter with a number of viewers asking why Episode One was not available simultaneously on BBC HD.
comment from #bbcorbit feed
The HD Channel tries to promote the best of the portfolio of BBC Channels, but invariably, this can at times lead to clashes in simulcasts - this was the case with the 9pm Sunday slot, where they have been simulcasting the BBC 3 series 'Being Human' for some weeks now. 'Orbit' however has been given a peak repeat slot, on Fridays at 21:00 from the 16th March.
Other comments raised on twitter discussed the set up of having two presenters, and both female at that, which all in all seemed to be well received.
comment from @bbcorbit twitter
Not everyone was impressed however with all that Episode one had to offer, and, with such a landmark series as this, that was to be expected.

Can we use the Moon to tell time?

Earth's relationship with the Sun is of huge significance to the 23 Degrees team. Its 23.5 degree tilt is what makes our planet's annual journey around the Sun interesting and it's why we're encouraging everyone to help us record that journey. But maybe it's time we also looked up at the moon. Our planet's relationship with the Moon also plays a part in the Earth's cycle and the passing of time - the moon goes around the Earth and the Earth goes around the Sun which goes around the galaxy. It almost sounds like the solar system runs like clockwork right? But maybe it should be the other way around. Clocks run like the solar system. Our Sun dominates our concept of time but the moon is 400 times closer to us than the Sun is, and it moves around our planet steadily like the hand of a clock. Could we use the moon to tell the time if we wanted to?
Earthrise Apollo 8 Lunar mission 1968
It's tricky because the moon orbits Earth at a fixed rate but that rate has nothing to do with how fast the Earth spins or how fast the Earth goes around the sun. Inconveniently the numbers don't divide cleanly. However, during any single day the position of the moon doesn't change very much so it's quite a good reference point. Once the sun has set you're on the side of the Earth facing away from the sun slowly spinning back towards sunlight. If you know where you are on that journey you know the time. Here are some ways that the moon can help.
The ocean bulges out towards the moon attracted by its gravity. As the Earth spins we pass through the bulge and out the other side. We call that bulge a tide. If you're by the beach on a cloudy night you can get an idea of the time just by watching the tide level. In most places high tide is six hours after low tide, and you can use this even if you can't see the moon directly.
The moon's gravity doesn't only affect the water. It's also tugging on us, and if the moon is overhead pulling us upwards, it balances out a little bit of Earth's gravity pulling us downwards. If you stood on some very sensitive scales at a full moon, you'd notice that you weighed about a quarter of a gram less at midnight than you did at midday. So you could tell the time by monitoring how your weight changed during the night. It's not a very useful clock - you'd have to weigh anything you ate or drank and not put any extra clothes on. But in theory you could use your weight as a clock, because it changes systematically as you rotate closer to and further away from the moon. You have your own tide.
At full moon a normal sundial can be used as a moon dial. The moon is more or less exactly where the sun would be in the sky during daytime, except that the times on the sundial will be 12 hours too early. And of course, if you can see the moon, you can watch its progress across the sky and estimate the time in the same way that you would with the sun.
But why expend all this effort to help the moon tell solar time? The moon has its own time, and there's a tide-powered clock in London to tell you what that is.
The Aluna clock is at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London - a prototype for a larger one to be built next year. I love this idea because the progress of the sun going across the sky is only one way of keeping track of time. Everything in the universe with an orbit is like the hand of a different clock all measuring the same time in different units. The moon is just one clock of many!

November 21st Written by
Many of the first video enthusiasts came from the ranks of audiophiles. Equipment and performance driven they expanded their fascination of music reproduction to include the whole home entertainment spectrum. This meant taking a TV and plunking it down in between their carefully placed hifi loudspeakers.
Of course, it must be noted that many budding videophiles were sufficiently wellheeled to allow them to have a dedicated room for both music and home theater. They didn't even try to achieve great sound in their home theater room because the equipment of the day and the soundtracks were way, way below audiophile standards.
That part at least has changed. Although still variable, many movie soundtracks now boast excellent acoustics and dare I say it, true hifi sound. And the equipment is now fully on a par with the best from the music 2 channel world. Except, perhaps, a tube surround sound processor is not available. (That's an audiophile joke.)
Back to dropping a big TV into a carefully tuned music system. In a word: disaster. The soundstage becomes much more two dimensional and both horizontal and depth focus significantly degrade. Also, timbre is slightly to moderately changed. There is no good news here except that when the TV was on it provided enough of a distraction to make the flaws less noticeable.
Why is a TV an acoustic nightmare? A tube or rear projection TV from an acoustic point of view is a large box consisting of reflective and resonating panels and sharp corners. Instead of the generous space in which the speakers were placed with a wall well behind them, they find themselves roughly on the same plane with this large reflective surface. Effectively now each speaker is in a bit of an alcove. The typical rear projection TV with room for its cabling in the rear, effectively moves the wall forward 2 ½ to 3 feet. That is a big loss of space. Anyone still living with a large TV should place the speakers as far ahead of the plane of the TV as possible.
Where once the sound radiated out from the speakers in a an uninterrupted hemispheric pattern, the side wave now encounters the TV chassis and reflects both back towards the speaker and forward toward the listener. These delayed waves arrive shortly after the main direct wave from the speaker. This multiple arrival time smears the soundstage focus.
Because the reflective surfaces of the TV are not 100% solid, they are more reflective for some frequencies than for others. Thin plastic, glass and wood panels are less of an obstacle to low frequencies than they are to high frequencies so they reflect more highs than they do lows. Hence there is a slight tonal imbalance introduced as well.
Those same thin panels move with the sound that hits them and once moving don't stop once the music does. They now have a (short) life of their own. Tap on any panel of your TV and listen to it's individual sound. This tone is playing (excited by the soundwaves from your main speakers, sub etc.) when your sound system is on and each panel speaks with a different voice. A low level cacophony. TVs are simply not designed with any thought of acoustic performance.
The British picked up on this early which is why, in a high end British audio shop, there was only one pair of speakers in the room at any one time. If you wanted to listen to another pair, the first were removed and the second brought in. This eliminated the effects of having a set of large boxes upsetting the sound from the working speakers. A large screen RPTV is like having several sets of large speakers at the front of the room.
The effects are not subtle once you have tried it with and without and you'll be aware the situation is less than ideal until you get rid of the problem. With our own Ribbons, which extend above the top of most RPTVs, standing up will reveal a tremendous depth of soundstage and openness while sitting down the sound stage flattens out and the sound closes up. Very distinct and completely unavoidable even with damping on the sides of the TV cabinet to somewhat reduce the effect.
Front projectors change all of this. Essentially, they and the screens they project onto are acoustically invisible and return the room to it's state before the arrival of the 3 cubic meters of living surfaces which is a rear projection TV. They give the speakers space and act much the same as the wall behind them. If video screen material is acoustically reflective, it must be at a vanishing level and if the screens resonate (I suppose everything does at some point) it must be imperceptible and probably un-measurable. Video screens suspended several inches off the wall simply get out of the way of the proper and natural sound propagation.
The bottom line is that front projectors give you your music back. We have long maintained that in the future a great music system will be a great home theater system with the video switched off. Despite an acoustically rough start for home theater, front projectors have now made that ideal an attainable reality for the great majority of music and video enthusiasts.

"While emotions can run high in competitive environments, Pac-12 coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect credit on the institution and the conference," Commissioner Larry Scott said. "Each Pac-12 coach must be aware that they are an example to student-athletes and other students, and consistent with this influence and visibility, must meet a particularly high standard."
The confrontation happened during a timeout early in the second half of Cal's 76-68 win over Southern California on Sunday night when Montgomery yelled at star guard Allen Crabbe for nonchalant play and then shoved him in the chest with both hands.
Crabbe had to be forcibly restrained by teammates and briefly left the court before coming back and leading a comeback victory for the Golden Bears (16-9, 8-5 Pac-12).
"Sunday's game was an emotional one for everyone who cares deeply about our men's basketball program, and the Bears certainly showed tremendous resolve coming back to earn a win over USC," Cal Athletic Director Sandy Barbour said in a statement.
"However, it is unacceptable for our coaches to have physical contact with student-athletes regardless of the circumstances. The second-half incident was certainly out of character for Mike Montgomery, and I am confident that something like this will not happen again."
Montgomery downplayed the controversy during a postgame news conference when he smiled and said the move motivated Crabbe. He also said he would do it again.
"Worked, didn't it?" Montgomery said of the exchange with Crabbe. "Allen had come down twice went to the wrong side of the court and his guy shot two 3s. I was trying to get him going. Probably overdid it a little bit but Allen's my guy. We can't win if he is not ready to play."
Crabbe, the leading scorer in the Pac-12 with an average of 19.8 points, scored 14 points after the shove and led the Bears back from a 15-point deficit to win.
Montgomery later apologized in a statement released by the school.
"I have great passion for this game and tonight, I let my emotions get away from me in the heat of the moment," Montgomery said. "While my intent was to motivate our student-athletes, my behavior was inappropriate and I apologize for my actions."
Crabbe said after the game that emotions were high at the time and Montgomery was just trying to motivate him. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'e97c3dddec26b106353d55558cb0acced68e2cbd711d32d8ce881fb650290e21'} |
Celebrity vs. Social Influencer
Once upon a time, there was a little known marketing strategy for brands called The Celebrity Endorsement.
Brands would gift their product to celebrities in hopes they would be seen wearing them, using them, drinking them, etc. The best scenario would be for them to be photographed wearing them on the red carpet, or in a magazine walking down the streets of NYC product in tow.
Today, celebrities are still very much in demand, but there is a new "star" on the horizon; the social influencer.
A social influencer, or as I like to call them, social tastemaker, are the unknowns who seem to become an Internet sensation overnight. The one who's YouTube video goes viral and creates a loyal following, or the ones who have hundreds of thousands to millions of Instagram followers just waiting to see what they post next.
The difference between the celebrity effect and the social tastemaker is most often the following. Each have large audiences but with one key difference; the level influence. Celebrity followers love knowing where they shop, how they vacation, and their favorite designers. It builds brand awareness, but not necessarily sales. Social tastemakers growth happens organically over time and is a result of fan following because of similar beliefs, likes or mindset.
In many instances, the social tastemakers influence can be substantial.

For example, one of the current hot social tastemakers is 22 year old Connor Franta. Four years ago Franta was a fan of watching YouTube videos when he decided to try his hand at creating them. He had been searching for a fun, creative outlet to share his inner thoughts on kindness and positivity and thought YouTube might be the answer.
It wasn't long before he had an impressive number of fans, and they all wanted to know more about what he liked in music, to clothes and event what was the last movie he had seen. Fast forward to 2014, and Franata has 3 million Instagram fans, 3.5 million that love his YouTube videos and another 500,000 on Spotify. And he has never starred in one TV show or sang at a concert arena.
His strong array of followers didn't go unnoticed. Ryan Seacrest Productions collaborated with him on a 5-part Coca Cola campaign, and also made him the official social media correspondent for the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. He has used his influence to raise nearly a quarter million dollars for the Third Project building wells in Africa and most recently collaborated with Opus Label on his own complication CD - Crown Vol 1. I contacted the label to see how well an album could sell on a 22 year olds influence (that isn't a singer) on opening day. iTunes download count was 2006 for the first 24 hours, and it managed to peak at the #12 spot. This was accomplished without ad buys or billboards which are often used by record labels to promote an artists new album. Franta merely created a hashtag to promote which quickly became one of the top trending tweets on Twitter.
Social media expert Shannon Self of Toldyaa.com noted "Young influencer marketing is the newest most efficient way to see a return on investment for a product, service or brand. The younger generation typically has the most organic engagement."
Many brands see very low conversion rates on celebrity engagement. However social tastemaker followers often have a 40-50% respond ratio.
So what exactly does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Brands now have different avenues to promote their products that have a strong possibility of creating better results at a lower price point. That's a great thing for the Connor Franta's of the world. Opportunities to make their tastes matter have greatly widened. Speaking of, Franta now managed by Andrew Graham at Big Frame. Watch out Kim Kardashian. He's not too far behind ya!

Broadcast: 14/3/2003
Reporter: Heather Stewart
BARBARA MCCARTHY, PRESENTER: In Darwin there's been heated public debate about dealing with itinerants.
Despite attempts from successive NT governments and community groups, a solution has never been found to curbing alcohol abuse in public and accompanying violent behaviour.
Business people continue to complain of lost revenue as a result of antisocial behaviour in and outside their premises.
But advocates say itinerants have the right to be here and to have access to the same essential services every Territorian enjoys.
At a substance abuse hearing in Darwin last week police asked if repeat offenders should be banned from drinking.
As Heather Stewart reports, there were also calls for a complete review of the NT's Liquor Licensing Act.
HEATHER STEWART, ABC REPORTER: In Darwin, scenes like this are commonplace, especially after dark in public places.
This woman is unconscious just outside a popular restaurant strip.
This man takes exception to the presence of an ABC crew.
It's just another incident documenting the city's increasingly hazardous nightlife.
LEON MORRIS, ITINERANTS' WORKING PARTY COORDINATOR: We are not going to try and pretend there is not a crisis out there -- there is.
There are more people in town than there has ever been before and we do not have the capacity within our services to deal with those numbers.
HEATHER STEWART: Last week the Legislative Assembly's Substance Abuse Select Committee heard antisocial behaviour by intoxicated itinerants is getting worse.
It's estimated over 1,000 people choose to live out in the open in Darwin.
It's known there are more in the Wet season but there are no accurate figures.
They call themselves longgrassers and the majority have substance abuse problems.
84 per cent of the cases handled by NT Police involve offenders who are intoxicated and at least half the victims are also drunk.
One of the city's most senior policemen openly expresses his frustration.
ACTING COMMANDER GREG DOWD, NT POLICE: I ask a question here, not make a statement.
Should we be considering legislation that bans repeat offenders from drinking?
HEATHER STEWART: Police also query whether habitual drinkers should be prosecuted.
It's a controversial question but one that stems from their constant efforts to curb antisocial behaviour in public places.
SCOTT MITCHELL, NT POLICE: The data is pretty evident that alcohol is our single biggest issue.
GREG DOWD: We need to do something about trying to break the cycle.
And many of these people have no real intention of breaking the cycle on their own, without some assistance from someone.
And whilst I don't see this as the only way of breaking it, it may be a way.
ROSS WEBSTER, DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES, SALVATION ARMY: I can see some merit in that but I can also see some huge problems of having someone coming to a program or something like that that is mandatory kind of thing.
HEATHER STEWART: There are 281 liquor outlets operating in Darwin.
With a population of 80,000 that's about 1 outlet for every 300 people.
MARION SCRYMGOUR, SELECT COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON: I think the whole issue of access and availability of alcohol, not just in Darwin but I think most urban centres throughout the NT, needs to be looked at.
And the debate in the wider community as to are there too many liquor outlets?
HEATHER STEWART: Police suggest a complete review of the Liquor Act so the sale of alcohol is better regulated.
It's a view the select committee supports.
But some in the liquor industry are taking a more direct approach.
ALAN MORRIS, SUPERMARKET MANAGER: This is where we have made a big change -- we have stopped selling the 4-litre casks.
HEATHER STEWART: Fed up with the impact drunks were having on his business, Alan Morris stopped selling 4-litre casks of wine, methylated spirits and cooking essence to deter undesirables from coming into his shop.
And he says it works.
ALAN MORRIS: We can't rely on the Government to legislate to protect the business.
You've got to take charge of yourself, you have got to be able to do things to look after it.
Now we decided, as a family, that we wouldn't sell certain items.
HEATHER STEWART: While some liquor outlets are taking their responsibilities seriously, Darwin Mall shop owners say they are still bearing the brunt of drunks and business is suffering.
BOB ELIX, MALL SPORTS STORE PROPRIETOR: In the mall I hate to see the people begging and loud music and yelling and screaming.
And the language coming out of their mouth is very ordinary.
They are not aware of their standard or lack of standard of behaviour.
VAL HAYDOCK: You tend to get a little bit hard and say "Will you just move on".
And I just say this is no good for the front of my shop.
MARION SCRYMGOUR: Everyone wants a quick-fix solution to this.
We're not going to to have all the answers, and that is something the committee is still exploring, in terms of where do we go to taking the next step? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.952764630317688}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '13034', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2PTYDDYNHXOJTRFT2ZLK3KW2ONXGUFSD', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1adab289-10ee-4827-9a64-386489569782>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 12, 20, 9, 0, 14), 'WARC-IP-Address': '168.143.242.218', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:AYAHMI3N5LFWVXQOBUCJNE37PKRDQAST', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:683bbeaf-fdc7-4891-8c76-fd5e7c72362e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/nt/content/2003/s806092.htm', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:67faa155-7afa-4bde-b5c7-0ff28fa41d7e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '840', 'url': 'http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/nt/content/2003/s806092.htm', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2013-48\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for Winter 2013\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': '0.031189382076263428', 'original_id': '00f05259ba80f4e23528c70ad38924bca5a7b011b049ed2aa08b4d04ca9ca808'} |

The Sacred and the Sacrilegious: the Real Presence and a Black Mass
I was very disheartened to learn that a Satanic group has managed to get their hands on a consecrated host and planned to desecrate it during a black mass service in Oklahoma this September. Supposedly the latest news is that the Satanists have returned the Host and the Archbishop has dropped his suit:
The lawsuit was ultimately resolved this week without having to go to court, as Daniels agreed on Thursday to return the wafers in exchange for the lawsuit being dropped. But the incident is still noteworthy, as it is but the latest in a growing number of “tests” to America’s understanding of religious liberty, and questions linger about what action, if any, police would have taken had the suit been put before a judge (J. Jenkins August 24, 2014: How Satanists are Testing the Limits of Religious Freedom in Oklahoma, Think Progress).
Of course, the Black Mass is still moving forward, and who really knows if they actually returned the consecrated Host. Perhaps equally infuriating is how breathless some in the secular left have become over recent rather brazen activities of the Satanists: see here, here, and here. They see the Satanists as joining the cause of protecting the separation between Church and State.
One thing to note is that when Satanists really want to offend and commit blasphemy, the target is almost always the Catholic Church. Now there may be historical reasons that they target the Catholic Mass to blaspheme, but to those who believe that they are influenced by demonic forces, it should, perhaps ironically, stand as a witness to the sacredness of the Holy Mass.
Those who believe that Catholics are, themselves, guilty of a grave sacrilege by the sacrifice of the Mass must wonder why Satanists are drawn to make a sacrilege out of a sacrilege. One answer is that Satanists are merely interested in mocking and ridiculing that which others take to be sacred. So the issue is not whether the Mass is objectively sacred, but whether it is taken to be sacred by a significant number of people. If so, I think this would strongly count against the position that Satanists are influenced by the demonic in these matters. For, why would the demonic waste its time trying to get people to make a sacrilege out of a sacrilege?
I mentioned to my friend, Joel, that the devil would have no interest in mocking a Catholic Mass if it truly were a sacrilege, since he would be pleased by the fine job we are doing ourselves. There is no point in making a blasphemy of a blasphemy, since the devil might as well direct his Satanists to follow the Catholic faith as an effective and idolatrous way to imperil their souls. Joel made the interesting connection to Christ’s claim that a house divided cannot stand:
If Satan directs people to mock that which are a sacrilege to God, then he seems to be divided against himself. So here, we find something of an argument for the Real Presence of the Eucharist, and the sacredness of the Catholic Mass. Here is my reasoning:
1. If the Real Presence of the Eucharist is a false doctrine, then the Catholic Mass is a form of idolatry, sacrilege, and blaspheme (premise).
2. The Catholic Mass is a form of idolatry, sacrilege, and blasphemy, and Satanists are directed by Satan to mock and blaspheme the Mass, only if Satan is divided against himself (premise).
3. If Satan is divided against himself, his kingdom will not stand (premise).
4. Satan’s kingdom will stand (premise).1
5. Satan is not divided against himself (from 3 and 4).
6. It is not both the case that the Catholic Mass is a form of idolatry, sacrilege, and blasphemy, and Satanists are directed by Satan to mock and blaspheme the Mass (from 2 and 5).
Now, given that I think that there are demonic forces in this world, I think it is reasonable that those who invoke the very name of Satan, Satanists, are influenced by him with regard to their Black Mass in its form and ritual. I think this is so, even if they explicitly claim to be atheist or reject the supernatural. One may still be influenced by the demonic even if one claims not to believe in it. So:
1. Satanists are directed by Satan to mock and blaspheme the Mass (premise).
1. It is not the case that the Catholic Mass is a form of idolatry, sacrilege, and blasphemy (from 6 and 7).
1. The Real Presence of the Eucharist is a true doctrine (from 1 and 8).
I pray that this group repents and finds more productive ways to fight for religious freedom and tolerance in this country. I hope they find their way back to God.
[Update 9/7/2014]: Eye of the Tiber, a satirical site, makes an insightful point that relates to my reflection. We just don’t see Satanists mocking denominations that take the Eucharistic meal to be a symbolic ordinance.
1Satan is said to have dominion over the Earth for the time being. His kingdom, though evil, is clearly not divided against itself, if Christ’s enthymeme has any merit. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '170', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9719398021697998}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '95940', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XKP2KNX3GN3NMOULCMVTGQBTWA3MA6MS', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6d231eef-85a4-4738-9ae4-42abcff08d82>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 28, 19, 18, 8), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.12', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:3YOWJTGSRODT7NEWJ4JI6LOT3ZERY3FF', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8cd5e46a-496b-48d5-9c81-3fafc1426201>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://vexingquestions.wordpress.com/tag/mass/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:27727d36-b63e-4dc6-854b-24589f8ef904>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1017', 'url': 'https://vexingquestions.wordpress.com/tag/mass/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-05\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-48.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': '0.08553743362426758', 'original_id': '015e0527ce20b74517e0791cab9dea6ab75e3acaf015f7d9520c5d4a5ed9b410'} |

• Lawrence’s Missing Tree May 11, 2013
Author: Beach Combing | in : Contemporary , trackback
D.H.Lawrence, the high priest of love, the enemy of the bourgeoisie (and their closest ally), an indifferent stylist, a brilliant novelist and the man our great grandmothers prayed that they would not be seated next to at a dinner party. DHL had a lifelong, masturbatory relationship with Italy: a country that was, in his mythology, supposed to represent everything that Britain had failed to become. Above all, he loved, like Hitler and several other suspect personalities, Florence and it was in Florence that he produced his worst novel, the novel that F.R.Leavis defended with the faintest praise at a famous trial, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. (‘All her body clung with tender love to the unknown man, and blindly to the wilting penis, as it so tenderly, frailly, unknowingly withdrew, after the fierce thrust of its potency etc etc etc’). Lawrence and his darling Frieda took out a lease on Villa Merenda (aka Villa L’Arcipressi) in Scandicci, in 1926, where, in a previous age, the Medici had wasted their summers among the lemon blossoms. Like many writers Lawrence had his rituals and for Lady C, he took to sitting with his back to a twisted olive tree to scribble out his ‘erotica’ listening to nightingales in the woods. (Think of other places grazed in time by talented writers. The chair in the British Museum where Marx wrote out his words, every one worth thousands of deaths; Roald Dahl’s Gipsy House where he penned all those chapters of elongating women and unlikely monsters; George Bernard Shaw’s rotating shed – specially constructed to follow the sun…)
lawrence's missing olive tree
Nothing so far here is remarkable, let alone bizarre, but Beach wrote this post because he wants to get to the bottom of an episode/legend that has grown up around the olive tree. Recently, an eminent professor described a visit to Villa Merenda.
villa merenda
The professor was told there the following almost incredible story by a custodian. A few years before (the 1980s?) said custodian had shown a number of Japanese visitors around the villa and had naturally taken them to that tree, which still twisted towards the heavens out in the garden. (Did the nightingales sing for them?) The Japanese tourists thanked their host and left, then evening gave way to night, then the morning came and the custodian walked out into the garden and a huge hole gaped in the ground where the tree had once stood! Somehow a party had come under cover of darkness (with a digger?) and stolen Lawrence’s olive tree! The implication of the story was that the Japanese visitors were responsible. This strikes Beach as being unlikely. First, because, if the story has been recounted faithfully, the visitors would only have had one evening to organize. Second, because Japanese tourists sound like a natural punchline for a Florentine story: Asiatic tourists are (unjustly) notorious in the city for proving a nuisance. Third, because there is in western culture generally the idea of rich Japanese as collectors of the unusual. Beach’s money is, then, on this story being an urban legend. But if anyone has proof to the contrary…: drbeachcombing At yahoo DOT com | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.974702537059784}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '45143', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:HZIKDWJQJS3WDT7YTV6JGW2SP5NP3ZXE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d27c8df8-2e57-47c5-8726-5076f7f76a4c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 22, 2, 7, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '74.220.202.49', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MZF5U5YERGELT3HNTZX22YLZXO4RCJKL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9cd49db1-6e38-48a6-a201-06f86bacff50>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.strangehistory.net/2013/05/11/lawrences-missing-tree/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e6b37def-57d5-4f44-adf4-e0e441e34427>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '533', 'url': 'http://www.strangehistory.net/2013/05/11/lawrences-missing-tree/', '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': '0.028618931770324707', 'original_id': 'e9dba3e63ad6199910c909498c3cd3a4eb305621781d6971d8934d4de70b750f'} |
Hybrid recommender
Submitted by Sugestio on 23 December 2010 - 9:26am
In recent years, a variety of techniques have been proposed for calculating personal recommendations, including collaborative filtering, content-based methods and knowledge-based techniques. To improve performance, these algorithms can be combined in hybrid recommenders. The Sugestio team is also doing research on various hybrid recommendation techniques. Here, we provide a brief overview of the state of the art.
A merging solution is a simple technique that combines the recommendations of multiple recommenders. Top-N recommendation lists of the various algorithms are joined to create a new list consisting of a mix of these suggestions. A more intelligent way to combine the recommendations of different algorithms is by using a weighting scheme. These weighting solutions combine the scores of several recommender systems into a final recommendation score based on weights expressing the confidence in the various algorithms. These algorithm weights may be altered during operation to fine-tune the hybrid recommender.
Instead of combining the recommendations, switching solutions select the best recommendation algorithm depending on the available data. This hybrid recommender might select a content-based algorithm for sparse profile data and switch to a collaborative filter when more data becomes available. Cascade solutions consist of multiple algorithms refining each other. This technique could be applied to restaurant recommendations: a collaborative filtering algorithm determines the best restaurants according to the personal profile of the end-user. Next, a knowledge-based filter eliminates irrelevant restaurants based on the kitchen type, geographical location, price range, etc.
Finally, more advanced methods to combine recommendations techniques are investigated such as feature combination: a technique which uses features of various algorithms to create a new advanced recommender. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9114124178886414}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '12953', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QLGCZY6AERBENSADP7T7CZBBXTBTVOLN', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6c23a459-e2d3-46ea-8231-2d707247060f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 17, 17, 44, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '185.162.30.27', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:THCFAYWIME5HZLVZZLKIAWOHK52UDGS7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a7399dcb-eb82-4d9c-ac3b-070f40fcb55f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.sugestio.com/node/26', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ca3cdc6b-20bd-4eab-a7ce-c78cb9492650>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '275', 'url': 'https://www.sugestio.com/node/26', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-65-213-53.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': '0.08879101276397705', 'original_id': 'dcb6d787e35d31b4314001fd74e4da610925e4f987d23e761008873ba6c12d5e'} |
The Energy of Light
Brian Bauknight
We currently have five hens and two roosters on our farm property. For many months, we received enough fresh eggs from those five hens for two families. Usually 3 or 4 eggs per day. We almost never purchased any eggs at the local store.
Then, sometime around the end of September, the eggs stopped coming. The hens seemed fine. I still fed them “egg layer” food daily. But no eggs. Or very rarely one or two. Was it old age? Was it “chicken change of life?” Was it something I said or did not do? Was it colder weather?
Our son suggested: “It’s the decreasing amount of daylight. Put a light on a timer in the hen house. It will trick the hens into thinking longer daylight hours continue. The extra light will get them laying again.”
“Huh?” I say quizzically. “No way! Does that really work?”
But I complied. I put a light in the hen house and set it to go on for 3 hours after sunset in the evening and 3 hours before sunrise the next morning. I waited. At first, nothing. No change. Then, after about 2 weeks, suddenly egg production resumed! I was amazed. We “tricked” the chickens into laying more eggs! I always had heard that chickens had small brains; but this was an unusual phenomenon!
To add insult to my pride, when we lost electrical power in the chicken coop for about 4 days, they stopped laying again! Until power (and light) resumed.
Is there a parable here in this season of Epiphany? When we walk in the always abundant light of Jesus of Nazareth, we are more productive. The light that outshines any darkness (John 1:5) gives us unimaginable energy and hope.
One definition of epiphany reads: “A moment in which you suddenly see or understanding something in a new or very clear way.” That’s a fairly good description of where I am right now—perhaps with chickens, but mostly with the good news of Jesus. I see Him more clearly, and that clarity gives light and energy to my life.
I can always use more light. And I am convinced that Jesus brings more light to life than any other expression of God throughout history. Others may bring some. But Jesus brings an amazing blaze of light. I pray that I can bring leadership and example to that reality throughout all my days.
May Epiphany bring you all the light you need for all the days ahead.

By the Court,
Horton, C. J.:
This case seems to be almost identical with the case of Dodge v. Beeler, 12 Kas. 524, as respects the grounds upon which the claim of defendant in error is based, and with the decision in that case we are entirely satisfied. As the decision of the court below followed the rule of construction enunciated in Dodge v. Beeler, the judgment will be affirmed.
All the Justices concurring.

Why Choose Propane?
It's a question many people have asked. And obviously, a question that's been answered quite well because millions worldwide are using propane to make their lives more comfortable. Of course, that's not surprising since the advantages of propane are tough to beat.
Propane is:
Clean - propane is clean burning and non-toxic
Reliable - propane works when and where other energy sources don't so if your lights go out your propane appliances won't
A Good value - propane can offer significant savings over the alternatives
Poke around our site and see for yourself. We think you'll find the real question is, "why use anything else?" | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '8', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.942035675048828}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '25516', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GNAVZIMR5BUXLKUO54GW5ZOXDQDKTMGT', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3435fd58-93e4-4fc9-82b6-eb91021485a9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 4, 18, 5, 55, 23), 'WARC-IP-Address': '50.57.246.100', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:6UCTVOZMK3CDVIOP5HYGAOY7RT5LARP2', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cbdf31a7-91fd-4d46-98d3-c606b34f9150>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://spaldinggas.com/pages/view/33', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:555938f6-e4fe-4b1c-8a93-05f843a983c8>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '116', 'url': 'http://spaldinggas.com/pages/view/33', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-15\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for April 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': '0.7325531840324402', 'original_id': 'eed8d038403ee0f5f570c72c25ccf35dbc11bca582a8dc8fe72d39db956a2bb8'} |
suicide (drill) noun earlier than 1967
suicide (drill) noun earlier than 1967
In American sport, suicide can refer to a type of gruelling running drill, usually performed on a basketball court. Athletes run suicides by repeatedly sprinting from a starting point to each of a series of lines across the court, and back again. The drill is intended to improve speed and agility; its gruesome name reflects the intensity of the physical effort it requires.
The OED is currently researching the name of this running drill for possible inclusion in the dictionary. The earliest evidence found so far is from a North Carolina newspaper, in 1967:
‘I promised them I’d run three suicide drills in a row if they won.’‥ Varsity coach Herr Hawkes explained a suicide. ‘It’s a sprint-type drill that zig-zags at top speed on the hardwoods.’
1967 Burlington (N. Carolina) Times-News 11 Mar., p. 3b
The context of this example suggests that the term was not well known at the time, but it may have appeared previously in specialized publications, such as coaching guides. Can you help us find an earlier example? The name is most commonly used in the plural form, or as a modifier, as in suicide drill.

Abstract/Artist's Statement
I investigated whether Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum (formerly known as Penicillium notatum), two common species of Ascomycetes, were capable of breaking down di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a frequently-used plasticizer, which builds up in the environment and can act as an endocrine disruptor when ingested by humans and animals. To test whether A. niger and P. chrysogenum were capable of metabolizing DEHP as a carbon source, I cultured both species on a glucose-free agar medium, containing only basic mineral salts and a minimal amount of agar, and on a glucose-enriched agar. Both glucose-free and glucose-enriched plates were subjected to one of three DEHP exposure treatments. In the first, I mixed DEHP directly into the growth media; in the second, I added the DEHP to the surface of the growth media after it had solidified; the third group was DEHP-free control. Overall, the presence of glucose was a far stronger predictor of colony vitality than the presence of DEHP; both species grew into larger and denser colonies on glucose-enriched plates. However, both species were able to grow and sporulate on plates where DEHP was the most abundant carbon source, suggesting that even if P. chrysogenum and A. niger are incapable of metabolizing DEHP, the presence of DEHP does not interfere with their ability to metabolize the polysaccharides in agarose. Additionally, the fungi exhibited different growth patterns in response to the two modes of DEHP exposure: fungi exposed to surface level DEHP tended to form numerous smaller, more dispersed colonies than fungi on the control plates. Fungi growing on DEHP/agar-mixed medium usually formed about the same number of colonies as control plates but the DEHP-exposed colonies tended to be somewhat denser and smaller in area. These results suggest that both A. niger and P. chrysogenum are both at least somewhat tolerant of DEHP, but it is unclear whether or not these species can metabolize DEHP.

A Sacred River Profaned
A journey along the river that symbolises India, polluted by sewage and industrial waste and threatened by encroaching modernization.
In the holy cities, the faithful rise at dawn to perform their purification rites in the Ganges River: auspicious ablutions and offerings of incense, garlands of flowers, candles, prayers and devotional chants to cleanse themselves of their sins and earn good karma for future lives. In the industrial cities along the same river, hundreds of factories use the water for their production processes, only to flush it back into the river, putrid and contaminated. The modern-day Ganges is one of the five most polluted rivers in the world according to the article “Ganga is dying, pollution the killer” published by Greendiary.com, yet it continues to be venerated like a goddess, sharing its Sanskrit name with the river goddess Ganga.

Diggin’ in the Dirt: I, Patrick. (Puke the Second)
Join us once again as Blather.net’s resident graveyard-worrier, Ender Wiggan, regales us with his second part of the epic six-part series “I, Patrick”, in which the young Welshman (that would be St. Patrick) gets kidnapped, sold into slavery, generally wishes he was never born and discovers the singular hospitality to be found in early 5th century Ireland.
Havent read “I, Patrick: Puke the First”? Click here.
Imagine travelling by boat to America during the potato famine in the nineteenth century. The cramped conditions, the paltry meals, slop buckets, the smells of huddled humanity, clearing out the dead in the morning. Now imagine doing it while chained up for several days or weeks, being disgorged at various ports and made to stand in a slave market, before returning to the ship (unsold) at the end of the day. Imagine finally being offloaded into daylight, blinking and shivering, into a cross between a Marrakesh Bazaar and Moore Street (but built on a craggy, rocky peninsula, exposed to rolling Atlantic weather) to be poked and felt up by strangers haggling over your price.
As a female, your immediate future is fucked: quite literally. As a male, your value lies in your capacity for hard manual labour; unless your master has a penchant for slave boys, in which case…
We can only imagine what Patrick went through during those first weeks of captivity. He glosses over it in his documents (well, wouldn’t you?). He more than likely wasn’t sold straight away; given where he ended up (to the west of Killala Bay, Co. Mayo). It probably took a couple of weeks of stopping and sailing on at various points along the northern and western coast of Ireland, before finally ending up being sold to a male master, who put him to work tending flocks on a wooded mountainside. Traditionally this has been portrayed as sheep, but historically and archaeologically, it was more likely pigs and goats. He lived and worked mostly outdoors at all times, in all weathers, in all seasons. He undoubtedly had fellow slaves for company, but also spent a lot of time alone.
I know what you’re thinking: running away, at the first chance. I’m sure he did too.
Let me tell why you wouldn’t.
Fifth century Irish society is incredibly obscure and impossible to pin down. But we have a certain amount of clues and hints from later sources, such as the early Irish laws, Saints lives and annals…along with an exponential increase in archaeological material uncovered over the last ten years. While not definitive, t’s a likely reflection from a century or two afterwards.
Imagine a caste society, with kings and warriors at the top, farmers and cattle lords in the middle, with women and slaves at the bottom. A separate priestly caste operates in tandem, with rankings and privileges for poets, seers, judges and ritual specialists whose worship centres around the sun and sculptured ‘idols’. (With perhaps, the occasional ultra-violent sacrifice in bogs…if you haven’t visited the Bog Bodies exhibition currently in the National Museum in Dublin, have shame and get thee hence). Barter and trade revolved around many things, but were all expressed in a form of dual currency: cattle and female slaves (Here, head-de-ball, how much is dat in Punts?).
Your status is measured in your ‘honour price’, that is, the price someone has to pay if they offend/injure/rob you. Or rather, if they get caught offending/injuring/robbing you. But that status is only guaranteed within your designated tribal boundary. Being caught outside it is akin to wearing a Bobby Sands t-shirt in Portadown. No rights, no protection, no comeback. Yer on your own, mate. The youngest sons of Cattle Lords and Chieftains ran wild about the countryside during their teenage years, (A sort of indigenous Irish ‘Walkabout) sowing their wild Irish oats, generally being boot boys and thugs; until they came of age to inherit their fathers jobs; at which, they promptly ‘calmed the fuck down’ and returned to ‘relative’ normality.
Which means, apart from smiths and poets (heaven knows, they’re miserable, now: and probably then as well) nobody travels that much. There’s very little need to. Today’s friendly tribal neighbours are most likely tomorrows raging enemies (considering their cattle herd is looking mighty fat and healthy these days and there’s a general “hankerin’ for a prankerin’ ). Insular petty politics was ‘fluid’ at best and more likely ‘Machiavellian’ in general.
Just like local county councils today, really.
As a slave, you have no ‘honour price’; you are not even human. You are currency itself. You’re a little rich boy, who can’t even speak the language…you don’t have a clue where you are. You have no friends and you are suddenly faced with all the above in all its glory.
Would you chance it and run away?
Patrick didn’t. He got his head down and survived. Day and night, in sunshine, rain and snow. He wouldn’t have been mistreated as long as he didn’t act the maggot. Slaves are like crops after all; its in one’s interest to keep them healthy and strong. And Patrick must have become incredibly hardy, faced with such a job in such exposed locations. Lean, wiry and hard-boiled…I’m thinking something like a cross between Rudolf Nureyev’s body and Lance Henriksen face (‘Bishop’ in Aliens. Bishop, get it, huh, huh?) but whatever you want yourself.
It would be enough to drive a man to drink. Or prayer.
In Patrick’s case, he chose the latter (Well, there are no atheists in foxholes, apparently). Except, as a lapsed Christian, who had never taken an interest in theology before…he more then likely had little to go on. (How many lapsed Catholics out there can remember their catechism?) He developed his own personal form of worship…a seemingly fucked-up cross between Catholic Guilt, Sadomasochism and Zen Meditation. By day, he would repeatedly chant prayers… at night he’d stay up on the mountain, kneeling in snow.
He came to view his captivity and enslavement as punishment for his previous neglect. He came to see it as penance for past sins. As a trial to test him – as a means to an end.
Imagine living such an extreme physical existence; while inhabiting an equally extreme psychological landscape in his head. Think of Brian Keenan, John McCarthy and Terry Waite… throw in Russell Crowe in Gladiator: followed by an assortment of Post Traumatic Stress victims returning from WW2, Vietnam and Iraq. The mental stamina, let alone the physical one required to survive it, cannot be underestimated.
He spent six years living like this. All the while being exposed to the indigenous culture. He would have picked up the language, customs and character of his captors. Seen at first hand, their rituals and belief systems. Learnt how they viewed the wider world, their landscape, their wants and desires, their values and traditions.
Today, that would be enough to qualify for an anthropological doctorate.
And then suddenly, after six years, he has a dream so powerful, so inspiring, so real that he wakes up and acts on it. (I’d like to think, in modern terms, that it was his subconscious/psychosis telling him that he was now physically and mentally equipped to make his escape). He dreams, that a ship is ready and waiting for him; but a long way away, on the other side of the country, on the east Leinster coast.
And just like Kevin Spacey, (puff), he’s gone.
Patrick and Ender shall return in part three of “I, Patrick”

Caption: Nudibranch and cleaner shrimp. Emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator, red/white, centre) on a nudibranch (Ceratosoma sp., orange, spotted) on a reef. Nudibranchs, or sea-slugs, are shell-less gastropod marine molluscs that live in seas around the world. They have external gills that give the nudibranch its name, meaning naked gills. Cleaner shrimp clean parasites from other animals. In return they gain protection from predators. Photographed in the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Drug Offense
Possession of controlled substances in North Carolina is a crime. Arguably, the most disproportionate penalties of any crime in North Carolina can be for drug offenses. In some cases, a small bottle of prescribed medication obtained from the family’s medicine cabinet can lead to a mandatory active sentence of several years. This can be true even for someone with a spotless record. On the other hand, North Carolina also law allows for a deferred judgment in the form of a “90-96 judgment” for many misdemeanor and felony drug offenses, for those with a clean record. A 90-96 allows for the case to be discharged without a conviction upon completion of probationary terms. Whether you are facing charges relating to the possession, sale, trafficking or manufacture of a controlled substance, you need the guidance of a criminal attorney skilled and experienced in the defense of drug related crimes.
