“We’re all a pack of strays”
By Joanne Laurier
8 January 2005
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, directed by Wes Anderson; written by Anderson and Noah Baumbach
Wes Anderson’s, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, is an offbeat and humane comedy loosely referencing the famous French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. Anderson, whose previous works include Rushmore (1999) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), has created a fable-like aquatic realm, in which themes close to his heart rise above the fanciful.
Jacques Cousteau (1910-1987) introduced millions of landlocked people to the mysteries of the sea aboard his famous vessel, “The Calypso,” with his television series, “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau,” and his many documentaries. The environmentalist and scuba pioneer co-invented the aqualung, developed a one-person, jet-propelled submarine and helped organize the first manned undersea colony. Anderson explains in an interview that he was attracted to the oceanographer, in part, for his role in World War II as a French Resistance fighter.
Refracting reality, Anderson’s Steve Zissou (Bill Murray)—who is a bit of a showboat chronically off-course—appears to be washed up as the first part of his latest documentary encounters a stony reception at its premiere in Rome (of all places). In response, Zissou sets out to prepare a voyage that will film one last exploration to salvage his reputation and avenge the death of his friend and long-time partner Esteban du Plantier (Seymour Cassel). Esteban was consumed by the fantastical Jaguar Shark for which Zissou has developed an Ahab-like obsession. The creature, as Zissou is constantly reminding everyone, may or may not exist.
The scientist plans the excursion from his compound on Pescespada Island and tries to ready, as much as possible, his half-functioning boat, the Belafonte—a former mine-sweeper (Harry Belafonte=calypso singer=“The Calypso”).
Team Zissou is comprised of the oceanographer’s wife and Vice President of The Zissou Society, Eleanor—the brains of the operation (Anjelica Huston); the emotional, shorts-sporting German engineer Klaus Daimler (Willem Dafoe); the opportunist film producer, Oseary Drakoulias (Michael Gambon); and Pelé dos Santos (Seu Jorge), the Brazilian Safety Expert who serenades the boat’s crew. Others include the bare-breasted script girl and the bewildered, unpaid interns. Mandatory attire is a Cousteau-ish red cap and bright-blue jumpsuit. Speedos are doled out for the right public relations occasion. In fact, all Zissou-aggrandizing moments are to be recorded by the ship’s lovingly browbeaten film crew.
Before the Belafonte sets out to sea, strangers start cropping up. An “Air Kentucky” pilot, Ned Plimpton (Owen Wilson)—like someone out of a Civil War novel—appears claiming to be Zissou’s illegitimate son. He has been a lifelong fan of the explorer and joins the team. Zissou renames him Kingsley Zissou. A pregnant British journalist, Jane Winslett-Richardson (Cate Blanchett), mysteriously shows up on assignment to write a magazine cover story. Another last minute addition to the voyage is the “bond company stooge,” Bill Ubell (Bud Cort).
High seas adventures include confrontations with Filipino pirates and Zissou’s arch rival, Alistair Hennessey (Jeff Goldblum), a far more commercially successful oceanographer and Eleanor Zissou’s former husband. When Eleanor leaves the Zissou boat suffering from relationship fatigue, she encamps at Hennessey’s estate in Port-au-Patois. Cody, a scruffy, three-legged dog is left behind on the Belafonte by the pirates and assists in their quirky demise. The odyssey ends with a tragedy, a few reconciliations and a general rally behind Zissou’s regained status as his deep sea nemesis is discovered to exist.
Visual enthusiasm is the hallmark of The Life Aquatic. The undersea world is magically stylized with electric jellyfish, Rat Tail Envelope Fish—which turn inside out—Sugar Crabs and the strange Jaguar Shark. The vintage World War II Belafonte, with its cutaway wall revealing innumerable rooms and activity, is a particular highlight. The laboratory, kitchen, editing room, observation bubble are simultaneously visible, making the ship, as the film’s production notes state, essentially another character. The score featuring Brazilian singer/actor Seu Jorge singing David Bowie songs in folk-style Portuguese adds to the film’s peculiar emotionalism.
At times, the movie’s uneven comic tempo is out of sync with the compassionate performances of its actors. Murray as Zissou is an effective combination of narcissism and vulnerability, seemingly incapable of introspection. The passionately unperturbed Huston is wonderful as Eleanor, an aristocratic scientist. Owen Wilson plays it straight as the genteel and naive Ned Plimpton/Kingsley Zissou, whose unswerving purity gives Team Zissou a much needed revitalization. Dafoe’s Teutonic Klaus is alternately sweet and foreboding.
It is, however, Cate Blanchett who excavates the most important truths in her portrayal of Jane Winslett-Richardson. The character’s aggressive, screechy voice is odd and funny, yet tinged with pathos: Jane reading Proust aloud, attempting to culturally nourish her unborn child is unforgettable. Blanchett proves to be the most capable of breathing life into Anderson’s peculiar universe. The final shot of Jane holding her newborn on the deck of the Belafonte encapsulates much of what the filmmaker is trying to convey about fantasies, desires, frustrations and his general antipathy for existing reality.
Despite loss of life, relationships and careers, the characters huddle together, negotiating uncharted waters in a submergible bubble at the film’s conclusion. One reviewer suggests that Jane’s amniotic fluid is akin to Anderson’s metaphoric ocean where human connection is possible.
The film’s disparate elements don’t always mesh; nonetheless, this is a moving work. Its creators adopt an approach of literary artifice to defend imagination, free play and unbridled enthusiasm. A child’s fresh method of viewing the world at times defies logic, but always yields magical and rewarding treasures.
The Life Aquatic deals centrally with the alienation inherent in social and family relations. Zissou and Eleanor can never seem to get beyond the minutiae of the immediate; Jane embarks on the Belafonte ambivalent about a pregnancy that stems from an unhappy liaison. She is attracted to Ned’s surreal innocence and repulsed by Zissou’s desperation and insensitivity.
For Anderson, relationships that are biologically imposed are the most problematic of all. When Ned asks Zissou why he never tried to contact him, knowing that he was his son, Zissou replies: “Because I hate fathers, I never wanted to be one.” As it turns out, Zissou has always been sterile. No matter, in the end, a real bond, surpassing any biological imperative, has been cultivated with Ned.
The giant, disinfected vessel of Alistair Hennessey, and his starched, militaristic crew—contrasting with Zissou’s motley setup—says something about the soulless, overbearing nature of wealth. The better-financed oceanographer may eclipse Zissou on the material level, but there is no contest when it comes to a genuinely felt existence. Only when Hennessey loses everything can he access his humanity.
Anderson’s film is not an entirely successful effort, but there is something liberating and deeply affecting about his method of work and that of his collaborators. Cody, the three-legged dog, symbolizes certain positive qualities that Anderson and company see in struggling humankind—an irrepressible determination and basic goodness that can overcome any mental or physical handicap. Under present circumstances this may seem somewhat skimpy, but in its disdain for all that is materially and psychically false, staid and conformist, The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou is more than commendable.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini Will Retire This May After 40 Year Tenure
By Brian Barrett on at
At this point, there aren't that many people who've worked at Intel as long as CEO Paul Otellini has. But after 40 years at the 45-year old chip maker—the last eight of them as CEO—he's hanging up his stirrups this May. His timing couldn't be better.
Otellini ushered Intel through some of its most profitable years, hitting record revenue and income marks time and again since 2005. He was at the helm when Intel got ahead of Moore's law, and provided the carrot that drove sluggish OEMs to finally dive into ultrabooks.
But the company's path forward is a little less clear; it's failed to make any meaningful inroads into mobile, and not a year goes by without a rumour that Apple will either defect or start producing its own laptop and desktop processors. Intel is still the international standard bearer for computer guts (especially with AMD in freefall), but it's going to need to shake things up if it wants to remain dominant in the mobile age. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9710432887077332}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '45381', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:S5DV7YV5XONSXALXZ3VMBZMLZDCPFL7W', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:261ad7d3-9f26-4480-8691-39e2ef7eaa16>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 22, 20, 34, 36), 'WARC-IP-Address': '89.167.142.38', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OKFXU523UU3OQNET4UWQKIKV7IWUVQ4S', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1d437f4b-154c-43ea-984d-e5ff6391cb8b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/11/intel-ceo-paul-otellini-will-retire-this-may-after-40-year-tenure/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:159da185-7e6b-4a3c-a93c-fd905ad544ad>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '184', 'url': 'http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/11/intel-ceo-paul-otellini-will-retire-this-may-after-40-year-tenure/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-09\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2017\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.0625770092010498', 'original_id': 'e1836170a28c5dea7e90574db27f753996fd59fb5093d5ec6b33be85895a3a07'} |

Cancel your social life and stock up on coffee, Final Fantasy is back. One of the most fanatically loved, respected and revered series in gaming history, Final Fantasy has a legion of fierce fans in every corner of the globe, hungrily awaiting the new iteration.
It’s been almost five years since Square blessed the PlayStation 2 with Final Fantasy X and a lot of things have changed in the interim. This will be the last PS2 Final Fantasy before the franchise moves onto Sony’s massively powerful PlayStation 3 - Final Fantasy also graced the Xbox 360 with the ill-fated Final Fantasy XI. One thing, it seems, remains constant: Square manages to deliver immensely epic adventures with unbeatable richness in story, character and design. Final Fantasy XII is different and yet the same.
After the standard long and spectacular opening CG sequence, players find themselves immediately immersed into the fascinating world of Dalmasca and directly involved in the downfall of an empire. Your character, Reks, is betrayed and left for dead, the plot advances and players will be left wondering what part the epilogue will play in the rest of the story.
The narrative picks up two years later and initially follows the exploits of a young street urchin/thief called Vann, who lives under the constant oppression and racial discrimination of the ruling Archadia. Vaan has some sort of connection with Reks but the mystery is only illuminated after a series of disturbing cut-scenes. Class division is a constant theme throughout the game and the harsh treatment of the less fortunate is an incisive comment made by the Square team about the current international climate.
Your adventure truly begins in the Dalmascan capital, Rabanastre. Characters drift in and out of your party throughout the first few hours and give a nice semi-tutorial on how the new combat, license and gambit systems work. The witty sky-pirate Balthier and his exotic partner Fran are two of the first useful characters to help expand on the overwhelming depth and challenge of the game. The story is compelling, confusing, brilliant and engulfing all at the same time.
Seemingly hundreds of characters and hours of dialogue go into making this, perhaps, the most detailed and intricate Final Fantasy yet. The world seems to have an actual history (Ivalice first appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics) which is crucial in making the tragic circumstances all the more meaningful.
Final Fantasy XII follows the traditional role-playing mechanics for the most part. Battles are fought, levels are obtained and strange comical creatures are encountered. As your party’s levels increase, so do your skills and abilities.
Final Fantasy XII introduces a couple of new aspects to your character's progression this time around. The most important of these is the License Board. Anyone familiar with the Final Fantasy X Sphere grid should be instantly comfortable and yet baffled by the License Board. Every character has the ability to open up every spot of the board and it’s simply a matter of choosing which direction you wish to take them.
At the outer edges of the board lie the Quickenings (limit breaks) and the Espers (summonings), both of which are crucial to advancement through some of the tougher boss battles and the overall world itself. The Espers must be assigned to individual characters once you have opened them up and the correct placement of the correct Esper will cause consternation for many players.
The battle system has been completely refreshed and overhauled since the last game on the PlayStation 2. Random battles have been almost completely eliminated and the focus is now on tactically approaching battles in order to best combat dangerous foes. With enemies now visible upon the map and the game world, players can tailor fighting styles and party members to best deal with specific threats. Anyone familiar with the style of an online role player will be able to deal with the new combat scheme with ease, while the rest of us will eventually pick up the multitasking intricacies.
Much has been made over the controversial gambit system that is unique to Final Fantasy XII. Gambits allow the player to become a battlefield general that assigns roles to three, two or one party member and allows him to act with a degree of AI within battles. The gambits ultimately rest on your ability to accurately assess situations and adapt accordingly. As your levels grow, so does the sophistication of your gambits.
The gambit is divided into a series of prioritised actions which characters will follow throughout the battle. For example, if you want a character to heal other party members when their health gets low but attack the rest of the time, simply assign the healing party less than 50% as your first gambit and attack as your second.
Simple? Well, not really, but things become easier as you master the initial battles with gambits involved. The gambit system adds a new level of battle management which takes this Final Fantasy away from the traditional individual management and opens up a new realm of detail for dedicated fans. That being said, Square has been kind enough to give players the option of turning off the gambits and remodelled the game to further match previous versions of the game.
And it’s the detail that will draw virgin Final Fantasy players into this version of the franchise. By far the most detailed and expansive role-playing game to be found on any console, Final Fantasy XII also delivers some other dazzling touches to heighten the game's appeal.
The series has always had some of the most brilliant and sensational graphics on the PlayStation 2 and Final Fantasy XII takes that level of quality up even further. This final PS2 version presents a rich and detailed fantasy world which is very reminiscent of Tatooine from Star Wars: Episode One. The world of Ivalice is filled with awesome desert vistas, massive cities, huge towers, magnificent airships and a menagerie of creatures, including a few recognisable faces.
Couple this with amazing cut scenes and some of the best voice acting of the series so far and Final Fantasy XII has the ascetics of a Hollywood production. Most of the voices are resonating and emotional but Vaan’s American voice-over can get a little grating when placed against the much stronger supporting cast.
The amount of potential quests and side adventures is simply staggering. A willing, if a little crazy, player could devote hours to tracking down all of the animals in the bestiary, killing ten of them and thereby opening up additional information that could lead to further adventures, a never-ending circle of quests.
On top of this there is the option to partake in some tailored hunts, issued to you by the hunter's guild. These hunts range from the ridiculously easy to the ridiculously, bamboozling, frustratingly difficult. With the addition of these sub-structures within the main thread of the storyline, dozens of extra hours become available for the hardcore completist out there.
Final Fantasy XII is a stunning swansong for the series on PlayStation 2. The game is sure to sell millions of copies and satisfy both the veteran and the novice alike. Few games can rival the sheer depth and scope of the Final Fantasy series and volume twelve is sure to add to the legacy of one of the greatest video game franchises ever made. It has enough innovation to keep it fresh will providing quaint and long-lasting touches that keep the series at the top of any gamers list. One can only dream what Final Fantasy XIII will deliver. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9412813782691956}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '57381', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LW7QNCQQQJKK25676EV6NDWPNVSVRNIC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5f373999-396b-4ed3-a18b-ac3f8e88d637>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 20, 16, 13, 4), 'WARC-IP-Address': '13.238.152.18', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:66VHYEYN7XQAYCASHNRFGBIFHDJDA5FD', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e4c102f1-3fa7-4f12-b023-51e2967646bc>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.gameplanet.co.nz/playstation-2/reviews/i129441/Final-Fantasy-XII-review/?gametitle=Final-Fantasy-XII-Platinum-', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b012089c-6365-486a-901b-14350966d346>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1262', 'url': 'https://www.gameplanet.co.nz/playstation-2/reviews/i129441/Final-Fantasy-XII-review/?gametitle=Final-Fantasy-XII-Platinum-', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-26\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-232-163.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02031022310256958', 'original_id': '9cce4e862043f3e79fddf7254525a3d15208d34dc3ffeee51fa23f71a5db1313'} |

Night of Destiny: 15th of Sha’ban or Laylatul Qadr?
by Shaykh Faraz A. Khan
Source: SeekersGuidance Answers
Filed under: Featured,Islam |
Qur'ans in a mosque
Question: If we say 15th of shabaan is a night of destiny, and laylatul qadr is also a night if destiny, how do we understand the meaning of a night of destiny, and make sense of two nights?
Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,
Most scholars are of the opinion that the Night of Destiny is Laylatul Qadr. For example, Imam Nasafi and others mention that its very name “Qadr” actually means “Taqdir”, i.e., to decree. [Madarik al-Tanzil]
Allah Most High states, “The angels and the spirit [Jibril] descend in waves in it [Laylatul Qadr], by the permission of their Lord, with every matter.” [97:4]
He Most High also states, “Ha mim. By the clarifying book! Verily We revealed it in a blessed night. Lo, We are ever warning! In it is every decided matter made distinct [i.e, transcribed and delineated].” [44:1-4]
These verses indicate that decreed matters are clarified on that night, which the majority of exegetes hold to be Laylatul Qadr: i.e., the decrees of the upcoming year, until the following Laylatul Qadr, are made clear to the angels on that night.
However, if the opinion that the 15th of Sha’ban is also a Night of Destiny is given consideration, it can be reconciled with the above as follows: the angels begin transcription from the Preserved Tablet (Lawh Mahfuz) on the 15th of Sha’ban, and finish that task on Laylatul Qadr.
This opinion is mentioned by Imam Abu Suud, who adds that the task is split among the angels: livelihoods are written by Mika’il; wars, earthquakes and natural disasters are written by Jibril; deeds are written by Isma’il, the angel of the lowest heaven, who is an enormous angel; and personal trials and afflictions are written by the angel of death. Peace be upon them all. [Irshad al-Aql al-Salim. Note: Imam Abu Suud prefaces this opinion with "it is said", which usually indicates weakness of the opinion]
And Allah knows best.

One Art
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
--Elizabeth Bishop
Reading this poem in In Her Shoes made me so blue again. How tiny things which supposedly are wearing an invisibility cloak usually pass by without notice or commonly shove into the back stage nowadays somehow always manage to trigger the melancholiness in me. It's like a disease or perhaps, a brand new addiction.? Is this the results of having too much free time for my brain cells to wander around.? Or the unrest mind and anticipating feeling as the day draws nearer and nearer.? Creating little thoughts all the time in this state of mind which is rather, gloomy.?
Oh! Where's the light.?

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of licochalcone A and its metabolites in biological fluids.
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the analysis of the novel antiparasitic agent, licochalcone A (Lica), and three of its glucuronic acid conjugates in plasma and urine. The high-performance liquid chromatography assay was performed using gradient elution and UV detection at 360 nm. The proposed technique is selective, reliable and sensitive. The limits of quantification for Lica are 0.2 microg/ml in plasma and 0.14 microg/ml in urine, 1.2 microg/ml for the 4'-glucuronide in plasma and 1.4 microg/ml in urine, and 2.0 microg/ml for the 4-glucuronide in plasma and 3.2 microg/ml in urine. The reproducibility of the analytical method according to the statistical coefficients is 7% or below. The accuracy of the method is good, that is, the relative error is below 10%. The stability of Lica and its glucuronides in urine and plasma samples has been assessed during storage in the autosampler and freezer. The applicability of the assay for determining Lica and its intact glucuronide conjugates in biological fluids was shown using a single dose study in rat. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'bdc06305668ae2a27e985a92c52d7a4015790dafcf01748aac45b7bd1e991b75'} |
First Draft Follies: "Kids," Beer, and the 1960s, Part 7
That Lewis and his lawbreaking students hailed from California was no surprise. The state was epicenter of culinary experimentation, as well as resistance, rebellion, and general weirdness. In 1962, Look magazine described California as a "window into the future," a "laboratory of social and cultural change" where "almost incomprehensible new forces" were "reshaping the lives of men" -- and women. (*17)
Hyperbole matched reality. At Palo Alto and Stanford University, engineers, mathematicians, and scientists explored human intelligence, electronic engineering, and communications, and the relationship among them. Hewitt Crane and Douglas Engelbart, seminal figures in the creation of the computer as we now know it, worked at Stanford Research Institute. John McCarthy, who coined the phrase "artificial intelligence" in the mid-1950s, founded the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) in 1963.
To the south at Big Sur, Michael Murphy founded the Esalen Institute, a "think tank" that drew such names as Paul Tillich and B. F. Skinner. At the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute, psychologist Carl Rogers pondered the nature and potential of "human relations."
The University of California-Los Angeles housed a laboratory where W. Ross Adey and his colleagues used electronic probes to explore the physical brain and the mechanisms of thought.
Other Californians employed less conventional methods to explore life’s meaning. The “freak” scene in Los Angeles, named after the bizarrely clothed dancers who followed The Byrds from performance to performance, congregated around the dance clubs and coffeehouses that lined Sunset Strip: the Whisky A Go Go and Fifth Estate, London Fog, and the Trip.
From there the scene rippled out to Laurel Canyon, where barefoot girls "wrapped in songs and gypsy shawls" and long-haired boys decorated in motley outfits pulled from secondhand stores wandered in and out of the neighborhood’s winding lanes and ramshackle cottages. (*18)
Drugs flowed freely and so did the creative imaginations of Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, Judy Collins, and other singers and musicians who, "pouring music down the canyon," packaged their stoned sensibility for mainstream America. (*19)

Clinical characteristics of patients with early hospital arrival after stroke symptom onset.
Identifying characteristics of early arrivers after stroke may be useful to improve delivery of acute stroke treatment. We sought to identify the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke who present early after symptom onset using data collected from a representative sample of hospitals in the state of Georgia. Data were obtained retrospectively from a statewide observational stroke registry from December 1, 2001, to February 28, 2002, and from February 1 to March 31, 2003. Clinical characteristics of patients with stroke arriving to the hospital within 2 hours were compared with those arriving later. Of the 409 patients with ischemic stroke identified with a specified time of onset, 172 (42%) presented within 2 hours. Univariate analysis showed hospital arrival within 2 hours was associated with history of coronary artery disease (P = .0400), dyslipidemia (P = .0100), ambulance transport (P = .0285), stroke team consultation (P = .0070), higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (P < .0001), and lower Glasgow Coma Scale score (P = .0018). Race, sex, age, smoking history, previous stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, prosthetic heart valve, hypertension, diabetes, and family history of stroke were not associated with arrival within 2 hours. Multivariate analysis revealed National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (odds ratio = 1.20, confidence interval 1.08-1.34, P = .0013) and Glasgow Coma Scale score (odds ratio = 0.84, confidence interval 0.75-0.94, P = .0027) were associated with arrival within 2 hours. Patients with stroke arriving within 2 hours had higher in-hospital mortality (13% v 4%) (P = .0284), but a higher rate of independent ambulation at discharge (55% v 37%) (P = .0419). Early arrival after ischemic stroke symptom onset is associated with increased stroke severity, higher mortality, and better functional outcome. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '18ae7667e10dfe74baafac910bc55ba77f4b2cf32655e947c81c0fe1345ce6b6'} |

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-02-CV-551-DB
_________________________________________________________________
Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
I
Norma Marquez filed suit against her former employer,
Voicestream Wireless Corporation (Voicestream), arising out of its
termination of her employment. Marquez asserted a claim of quid
pro quo sexual harassment and a claim of retaliation, all under the
Texas Commission on Human Rights Act2, Texas Labor Code § 21.051.3
1
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
2
The TCHRA provides for the enforcement of the policies of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so “analogous federal
statutes and the cases interpreting them” inform the interpretation
of the Texas statute. Quantum Chem. Corp. v. Toennies, 47 S.W. 3d
Marquez first claims that she was fired because she refused
the invitations of her supervisor, Robert Thomas, to have drinks
after work and, secondly, she claims her discharge was also
retaliation for reporting these invitations to Rachel Brock, an
office manager for Voicestream.
In its motion for summary judgment, Voicestream contended that
Marquez failed even to establish a prima facie case of sexual
harassment and retaliation. Additionally, it submitted evidence
that Marquez was fired because she failed to meet the minimum
requirements outlined in Voicestream’s Retail Sales Management
Minimum Expectations Policy (“RSMMEP”).
With respect to the sexual harassment claim, the district
court granted the motion for summary judgment because Marquez
473, 476 (Tex. 2001).

An employer commits an unlawful employment
practice if because of race, color,
disability, religion, sex, national origin, or
age the employer:
(1) fails or refuses to hire an individual,
discharges an individual, or discriminates in
any other manner against an individual in
connection with compensation or the terms,
conditions, or privileges of employment; or
(2) limits, segregates, or classifies an
employee or applicant for employment in a
manner that would deprive or tend to deprive
an individual of any employment opportunity or
adversely affect in any other manner the
status of an employee.
Tex. Lab. Code Ann. § 21.051 (Vernon 1996).
2
failed to present evidence of unwelcome sexual harassment, one of
the five elements of a prima facie case for quid pro quo sexual
harassment. It also held that even if Marquez had been successful
in making a prima facie case for sexual harassment, she failed to
rebut Voicestream’s proffered, nondiscriminatory motive for
terminating her employment.
The district court also granted summary judgment on Marquez’s
retaliation claim after finding that Marquez did not make a prima
facie case for retaliation because she failed to produce evidence
that would support a good faith, objectively reasonable belief that
she had been subjected to unlawful activity. Moreover, the
district court found that she failed to establish a causal
connection between her alleged protected activity (her phone
conversations with Brock reporting her contact with Thomas) and the
termination of her employment because she did not show that the
ultimate decision-makers involved in her firing were aware of those
conversations. Thus, the district court dismissed the complaint in
its entirety.
II
On appeal, Marquez argues that she made a prima facie case for
sexual harassment and retaliation. Furthermore, she contends that
she successfully rebutted Voicestream’s nondiscriminatory reason
for terminating her employment.
3
Marquez contends that she presented evidence showing that she
was subjected to “unwelcome sexual harassment.” She argues that
Thomas’s two invitations to have drinks with him were sexual in
nature, and that they constituted the requisite unwelcome sexual
conduct.4
We have defined “unwelcome sexual harassment” as “sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome in the sense that it
is unsolicited or unincited and is undesirable or offensive to the
employee.” Wyerick v. Bayou Steel Corp., 887 F.2d 1271, 1274 (5th
Cir. 1989). Thus, in Ellert v. Univ. of Texas at Dallas, we found
no sexual harassment where there was no evidence that the alleged
harasser discussed sexual matters, initiated any physical contact,
or made any threats or promises conditioned on the plaintiff’s
response to his advances. 52 F.3d 543, 545 (5th Cir. 1995).
Similarly, Thomas did not make any overt sexual advances, did not
request any sexual favors, did not engage in any verbal or physical
conduct that was sexual in nature, and, after Marquez declined his
second invitation, Thomas did not extend subsequent similar
invitations to her. We therefore agree with the district court
that Marquez has failed to show evidence of unwelcome sexual
harassment on the part of Thomas.
4
In her deposition, Marquez initially indicated that she did
not view Thomas’s invitations as a request for a date, but she
later said that she did consider them as sexual in nature and as
invitations for a date.
4
Although that should end the point, we will take time to
address Marquez’s contention that she presented evidence that
Voicestream’s stated reason for terminating her employment was
pretextual. She accurately notes that the RSMMEP does not mandate
termination for managers who score below 75% on the first audit and
below 85% on the second audit. The RSMMEP provides that managers
whose scores do not meet the minimum requirements may be subject to
disciplinary action, which may include termination. Marquez cites
the fact that no other managers have been subjected to termination
for failing to meet the minimum requirements. This evidence,
however, ultimately fails to show that she was treated differently;
she presented no evidence that any manager, except herself, had
failed to achieve the required scores.
Marquez further contends that the RSMMEP provides that only a
manager who scores less than 85% on two re-audits may be terminated
and that her termination after only one re-audit is evidence of
discrimination. Voicestream disputes her interpretation of the
RSMMEP, arguing that the RSMMEP allows for termination after only
one re-audit.5 Regardless of Marquez’s understanding of
Voicestream’s disciplinary policy, she was warned by her supervisor
at the time that if she failed to score at least 85% on her re-
audit, she could be subject to termination. She does not dispute
5
The RSMMEP section entitled “Operational Discipline” reads:
“If a score of at least 85% is not achieved during either of the
two follow-up audits, the manager will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination.”
5
the accuracy of the scores.6 Because she does not show that she
was treated differently from similarly situated managers, and
because she knew that she could be fired if she scored less than
85%, Marquez did not present evidence of pretext sufficient to
raise a genuine issue of material fact concerning the pretextual
nature of Voicestream’s proffered reason for terminating her
employment. Therefore, even if Marquez could be said to have made
a prima facie case, the district court’s granting of Voicestream’s
motion for summary judgment would have been proper because her
evidence fails to show that the stated reason for her discharge was
pretext.
Next, we turn to the grant of summary judgment on the
retaliation claim. To make a prima facie case for retaliation,
Marquez must produce evidence that she engaged in activity
protected under Title VII, suffered an adverse employment action,
and that there is a causal connection between the Title VII
protected activity and the adverse employment action. Gee v.
Principi, 289 F.3d 342, 345 (5th Cir. 2002).
We need only address whether Marquez produced evidence that
she engaged in protected activity. In doing so, we find that
Marquez has failed to make a prima facie retaliation claim because
her phone conversations with Brock in which she described Thomas’s

She scored 64% on the initial audit and 83% on the re-audit.
6
conduct do not constitute protected activity. Brock was an office
manager in Albuquerque, New Mexico and was responsible for
compiling sales and inventory data from all of the New Mexico and
El Paso stores. The phone conversations relied on by Marquez were
initiated by Brock—not by Marquez—and occurred in the routine
course of compiling this data. There is no evidence that Marquez
alleged any unlawful activity (sexual harassment) on Thomas’s part
during these conversations. Marquez only mentioned that Thomas had
asked her to go out for a drink on two occasions. There is nothing
in the record that she protested or objected that these invitations
were sexual harassment or otherwise unwelcomed. Without an
allegation that she reported unlawful activity (even assuming Brock
to be an appropriate person to receive such a report) Marquez’
conversations with Brock were not protected activity. See Watts v.
Kroger Co., 170 F.3d 505, 511 (5th Cir. 1999).
We have examined the briefs, the record, and the district
court’s opinion, and we find no reversible error in its legal
analysis or in its application of that analysis to the facts of
this case. Therefore, for the above reasons the judgment of the
district court is in all respects
AFFIRMED.

Fri, 06/15/2012 - 14:22
The use of a ground source heat pump can dramatically reduce the heating costs for any family, as a number of homes across the U.S. and Canada are using this technology to limit energy consumption and expenditures.Installation of these devices is common in the summer, when people are looking to prepare for the upcoming winter months and are outfitting their homes with a number of efficient products.The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported that these systems are being used more and more in the U.S. as a way to harness a free and dependable energy source.According to the news outlet, these systems work like refrigerators in reverse during winter months, as ground source heat pumps (GSHP) gather warmth from the earth and use a compressor in order to provide a source of energy for a house.The GSHP is made of three parts and uses a combination of energy-producing and energy-storing technology. The ground loop gathers heat from the ground, the heat pump moves the fluid through the pipes and the distribution system which helps to bring this warmth throughout a home.The delivery system is where many people see a lack of efficiency emerge, as families without products like a radiant heating system are not able to see the full benefit of using this type of energy source.A radiant heating system helps to distribute the warmth around a house in a more efficient manner, allowing a homeowner to really save when it comes to heating their residence.While other products may still require a significant use of energy to provide warmth, the radiant heating system uses a small amount of energy and an efficient delivery system to limit costs and consumption levels.

The closely related cation channels TRPM2 and TRPM8 show completely different requirements for stimulation and are regulated by Ca(2+) in an opposite manner. TRPM8 is basically gated in a voltage-dependent process enhanced by cold temperatures and cooling compounds such as menthol and icilin. The putative S4 voltage sensor of TRPM8 is closely similar to that of TRPM2, which, however, is mostly devoid of voltage sensitivity. To gain insight into principal interactions of critical channel domains during the gating process, we created chimeras in which the entire S5-pore-S6 domains were reciprocally exchanged. The chimera M2-M8P (i.e. TRPM2 with the pore of TRPM8) responded to ADP-ribose and hydrogen peroxide and was regulated by extracellular and intracellular Ca(2+) as was wild-type TRPM2. Single-channel recordings revealed the characteristic pattern of TRPM2 with extremely long open times. Only at far-negative membrane potentials (-120 to -140 mV) did differences become apparent because currents were reduced by hyperpolarization in M2-M8P but not in TRPM2. The reciprocal chimera, M8-M2P, showed currents after stimulation with high concentrations of menthol and icilin, but these currents were only slightly larger than in controls. The transfer of the NUDT9 domain to the C terminus of TRPM8 produced a channel sensitive to cold, menthol, or icilin but insensitive to ADP-ribose or hydrogen peroxide. We conclude that the gating processes in TRPM2 and TRPM8 differ in their requirements for specific structures within the pore. Moreover, the regulation by extracellular and intracellular Ca(2+) and the single-channel properties in TRPM2 are not determined by the S5-pore-S6 region.

Health and Fitness Goal:
When I started with OZ FIT I just wanted to increase my health and fitness. But now due to the passion shown by mason and Alicia my goals have grown to wanting to increase muscle mass while saying lean and one day competing on stage.
What have you achieved while being trained at OZ FIT Personal Training:
The results I have achieved while training with OzFit wouldn’t of been possible without the motivation and guidance of Mason and Alicia. I’ve increased my muscle mass and stayed lean. Gone from a small size shirt to a medium. Putting on 8 kgs of lean muscle and still going. I’ve found new ways to motivate myself in all aspect of my life and learnt so much I didn’t know about food and nutation.
What are the 3 main reasons why you are happy to refer friends and family to train at OZ FIT Personal Training
1. Mason and Alicia are extremely friendly and very welcoming and explain every exercise, as well as demonstrate and check correct form. Which makes it so easy for people who have never done weight training before.
2. Mason and Alicia enjoy training all of the clients and love seeing the results they help there clients achieve which is why I think they are always finding new ways to train there clients as efficient as possible.
3. While training and you think you have nothing left in the tank Mason and Alicia are there to push you harder then you thought possible the achieve new boundaries.

STRENGTH CONTEST; longboard edrive by Andreas [CLOSED]
Printed Boarddrive Printed Boarddrive3 Printed Boarddrive2
Entry from; Andreas
Here is my printed longboard edrive. And that is an amassing example of the strength of a printed part. First it was only a prove of concept if it can resist more than five meter printed in simple PLA, but it is really a reliable solution that runs already more than 300 km without any issue. The top speed is 35 kmh.
I still try to improve some details but then I will put it open source.
You can find some further details and future progress to the drive on my Facebook site. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9163700342178344}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '41241', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RKZ22EPQS6UTO52FQVAIAHOLUPFWWBDC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:902817d6-7975-441c-b0ed-f49e79c9b0f9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 20, 12, 13, 43), 'WARC-IP-Address': '178.21.23.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:D4KNMO7RJ572Q5GGPBS5TQC23BQZDRI6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:424741d3-51f9-4fb6-bd0e-4f7aef3f2f07>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://blog.innofil3d.com/strength-contest-longboard-edrive-andreas/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:c7ba40e2-dbcb-4dd3-b320-380c7243f93b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '112', 'url': 'http://blog.innofil3d.com/strength-contest-longboard-edrive-andreas/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-18\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-97-181-44.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02737283706665039', 'original_id': '85268c1e56f58ffc0fce18dd2c1b7304608c8308bc112925885665015a3c37ec'} |
Day 14
A day away from being halfway through. Day 14 leaves the realm of people, although they are not far behind. The body camera looks at the ocean from the twisted remains of a built shoreline. The Political washes away here, at the boundary between people and the infinite. There is no negative space or a place in between, just a horizon line the curves softly against both lenses. This feels like a place of rest, the difference between being in the city and being in nature is felt in my gut. There is wonderment here, what I feel when I am making work in the mountains. It does something else to my creative force and brings out a different set of questions, about time, space, and other dimensions. When you bring a practice or a discipline that has been rooted in a specific kind of place- in the case the body camera project sited in New York City- and transplant it into a space that is its opposite- the body camera project at the edge of the ocean- the experience produces a different set of parameters that result in different questions. The questions that emerged from yesterday's walk along the edge of the ocean had to do with becoming un-embodied, moving into a different kind of space, and a glimpse of freedom. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9619719386100768}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '42588', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GWYUPWIBZSHDHA765H2LCNOYJSJYJRQH', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:cf2b55a4-03fd-46c3-a650-f0153cb6c8f6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 21, 16, 55, 57), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.185.159.145', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:M3ZSZXB3JPC5EQZ5KC76GYFRJWRH3JHX', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:44a50436-c7ad-4ba5-ae1e-fac0b552ab56>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.chsandoval.com/new-blog/2016/7/31/day-14', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dca06ce7-58fb-4c6d-9443-967d20155bf7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '226', 'url': 'http://www.chsandoval.com/new-blog/2016/7/31/day-14', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-229-80-62.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': '0.3246731758117676', 'original_id': '68f20634613ce9dc7716fcf9c63662ad0a288ddef6a2420df821a1373a86e0c4'} |
Das E30 in Retrospect
It ain't pretty. Some bits don't work as well as they once did, some not at all. It's transient like all things. The probability of this car being restored isn't high, but the heater was uncomfortably efficient and highway miles were effortless.
It has left my possession but it's in good, capable hands.
There is something to be said about driving an FR (front engine, rear wheel drive) car on the mountain passes. The ease of rotation is unlike the tug-of-war that is AWD versus tarmac. I've been driving Subarus for the better side of seven years now and I often wish breaking traction were easier. Maybe I should stop buying such sticky rubber and finally put together that hydraulic e-brake I've been thinking about. Or maybe I should just stick to the dusty trails less traveled.
Nevertheless, I miss my E30. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9807209372520448}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '36309', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:DFX7TSCPG2QIPRGBAGQR325J4YQCVJAS', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:54bb57cb-48ec-4e88-b6ae-28747ea2a78e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 15, 2, 51, 1), 'WARC-IP-Address': '65.39.205.61', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2FUUU4AOPMILBE7S7PL6JJCRXDY4GA2U', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cecbd917-acab-4fd4-b6ad-d9af836cda37>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://automotivedigression.com/blog/2012/01/das-e30.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5f435b09-7dd2-472c-9e14-fa9569805ab8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '145', 'url': 'http://automotivedigression.com/blog/2012/01/das-e30.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-166-161-213.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': '0.07960182428359985', 'original_id': '3568d86970f42798fd2e37741405060b3645c4ced8fe4b43df7fd03598f8bfd6'} |
You might be here because you are wondering if SwipeAuctions.com (Swipe Auctions) is a scam. Well you’ve come to the right place.
I am going to divulge a lot of information about the inner workings of Swipe Auctions through out this entire article. Buyer Beware. Armed with this knowledge you will be able to make an informed decision regarding Swipe Auctions as well as any other Penny Auction website.
At the end of this article, you can find many comments from other readers who have had direct experience with Swipe Auctions that I hope you will find useful. Feel free to add your own opinion and knowledge of Swipe Auctions if you have any.
Now to the Topic At Hand:
Swipe Auctions is a penny auction website that promises savings of up to 90% and unbelievable deals on EVERYTHING! And their registration page and home page makes everything look great… You might even say, too good to be true? You might even considering googling “Swipe Auctions Scam” or “Swipe Auctions Reviews” to see what other people have to say about such fishy (perhaps fraudulent) claims. Also be careful, this same company operates several websites with different names, and there are many other “clone” websites out there that are all the same.
Keep in mind, Swipe Auctions also operates the exact same site under the name Swipe Bids.
Well This is How Swipe Auctions Really Works
YOU HAVE TO PAY EACH TIME YOU PLACE A BID!!!!
And each time you bid, the auction’s timer increases just a little bit, by about 12 seconds. So you’ve gotten your camera bid in, you’re about to win a $1000 camera for $124 and there’s 3 seconds left on the clock, right? Wrong, someone else just bid extending the action another 12 seconds and increasing the price by another PENNY …. and this can go on for HOURS.
Gee, how much do these bids cost? Well this is the thing overlooked by most people when they sign up for Swipe Auctions penny auction website. They instantly charge you $150 to your credit card to buy 300 bids. This is only shown on the second registration page, after you have already typed in a bunch of personal information… And they make this a little sketchy because the second page looks almost identical except for where they slip in this wording telling you about the $150 charges to your credit card, Its not like a shopping cart with a checkout. A LOT of people don’t notice this part, nor do they notice where it says “no refunds”.
OK so this far it isn’t technically a scam, its just misleading and a little slimy. However, this is where we expose the SCAM part of the process. Swipe Auctions has the power to shill their own auction’s bids. In other words, behind the scenes Swipe Auctions may at the last second bid on their own auctions to extend them a little longer to keep things from selling at either
Too low of a price Before enough people have spent enough money on bids for them to make a profit on the auction
Swipe Auctions Disclosure In Connection With Services: Swipe Auctions Discloses personal information to those who help it provide services, including those who perform technical, administrative and data processing tasks such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, and data storage and security. (much more than who really need to know your personal information. Categories are VERY vague)
You see, that’s how they make money selling things so cheap, the bids cost money therefore subsidizing the cost of the actual item, and with each bid, its like a SWIPE of your credit card… Get It LOL. Any one auction may have hundreds or even thousands of bids by the time the auction is finally won, and those bids are what pay for the auctions item and put money into Swipe Auctions fraudulent pockets (OK, so this isn’t technically fraud yet but read on). Take this example… What if an auction is ending too early without enough bids? Swipe Auctions can step in and bid themselves to up the anti and force you to spend more bids and extend the auction a little longer… And who is going to be able to stop them or monitor this process? Swipe Auctions wont even give away their location if you ask!
Sure there are some winners, some people do in fact win very cheap items… however for every one winner, there are SEVERAL losers. Everyone has to pay for their bids, regardless of whether they win the item or not. And in order for Swipe Auctions to actually turn a profit, the odds need to be stacked highly against you – the bidder; so that you will actually, in the end, not save any money at all… If everyone actually saved money, If EVERYONE actually won things for 90% off, the website would be bankrupt. This is the same way casino’s work, the odds are stacked against the gambler. OK OK, casinos are not a scam, people know how casinos work and the house NEEDS to win a majority of the time, however Swipe Auctions has the ability to hide behind the internet and can pull all sorts of nasty tricks on you if they want to.
You see, all auctions on Swipe Auctions are started by Swipe Auctions themselves. They control everything, and if they plug an auction into a mathematical formula and see that their product’s auction is about to end without turning a profit, their software can easily place it’s own bids to extend the duration and force people to buy more bids for the item. HOW ELSE would they be able to operate with such a low volume of customers? I mean this website is NEW and its not well enough known to have an enormous volume of bidders across their pages of listed items, I mean its got nowhere close to the traffic of Ebay, comparing Swipe Auctions to Ebay would be like comparing a SkyScraper to a grain of sand in traffic size…. On top of this, they are unlikely to get a lot of return visitors because each auction needs to have several losers, each of whom can waste in excess of $100 in bids on just one auction.
Fun Facts!
By the time the auction ended (5 hours later than the first image at the top), the camera in the Swipe Auctions auction pictured had had another 13,105 BIDS!!
At using an EXTREMELY conservative estimate of 5 cents a bid (you can bid on bid packs to win more bids, the cheapest you will ever see is around 5 cents per bid, usually closer to 10 cents per bid), people still spent $1,283 on bids alone (probably closer to $2,500 in reality), and the guy who won had to buy the camera for $256 on top of whatever he spent on bidding.
(probably closer to $2,500 in reality), and the guy who won had to buy the camera for $256 on top of whatever he spent on bidding. Only 1 person won that camera auction, and only after spending several hundreds in bids
Several people lost this auction and threw their money down the drain and wasted several hours of their lives
There is no way to know if Swipe Auctions extended the auction superficially on their side in order to make more money (is it a coincidence that it ended so abruptly so early (11:00pm), but right after they cleared over $100 in bids (AT LEAST) over the MSRP of the camera?)
So do you still want to try Swipe Auctions? What are your thoughts? | mini_pile | {'original_id': '1dcb76dae258c3009a4355ecad6f67eb3ef780299d17cb69326be153a6428fd0'} |

Hot Cocoa Cookies
6 cookie sandwiches
1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Line a second baking sheet with additional foil, parchment paper, or waxed paper. Turn on the broiler.
2. Use a bottom of a cup, rolling pin, or any flat object to flatten each Double Chocolate Brownie Soft Baked Cookie to about 1/2-inch thick. Put half of the cookies on the aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, bottom-side-up.
3. Put one marshmallow onto each cookie on the baking sheet.
4. Put the cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
5. Transfer the pan to the top rack closest to the broiler. Let broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the marshmallows begin to brown and caramelize. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle each one with the sugar mixture.
6. Immediately top each of the cookies on the pan with the remaining cookies. Sandwich each one together, pressing down slightly. Let stand for about 5 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
7. Once slightly cooled, roll the sides of the cookie sandwich in the remaining cocoa/sugar mixture. Put the sandwiches onto the second baking sheet.
8. Make the chocolate coating by putting the Mini Chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15 seconds and stir. Repeat in 10 second intervals until melted and smooth.
9. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over each sandwich. They will firm at room temperature, but you can refrigerate or freeze them to speed the process.
10. Serve at room temperature, storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and any other leftovers to the freezer.
11. Note: Instead of waiting for them to set, forgo the drizzle process and either dip in homemade hot cocoa or dip in the melted chocolate and enjoy fondue-style!

A new report from the departments of Justice and Homeland Security found that three of every four defendants convicted of international terrorism charges from September 11, 2001 to December 31, 2016 were born outside the United States. President Donald Trump mandated the creation of the report as part of the same executive order that instituted the second iteration of the so-called Muslim ban.
The data in the report, released today, would appear to support Trump’s policies of limiting immigration from Muslim-majority nations out of national security concerns. However, the report appears to rely on a dataset that has been carefully selected to support the Trump administration’s anti-Muslim policies.
“This report reveals an indisputable sobering reality — our immigration system has undermined our national security and public safety,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement announcing the report’s release. “And the information in this report is only the tip of the iceberg: We currently have terrorism-related investigations against thousands of people in the United States, including hundreds of people who came here as refugees.”
The report found that of 549 defendants prosecuted for international terrorism from September 11, 2001, to December 31, 2016, 402 were born outside the United States — suggesting the threat of international terrorism is disproportionately greater among those born outside the country. The report said the 549 defendants come from “a list maintained by DOJ’s National Security Division.”
But there’s a curious problem with the number of defendants — 549 — on whom the report’s conclusions are based.
The DOJ list that is referenced in the new report is well-known among national security journalists and researchers because it has been released periodically over the years. In March 2010, then-Attorney General Eric Holder presented it to Congress as part of testimony. The list then included 403 defendants. A second version, updated through December 31, 2014, had 580 defendants. A third list ending in 2015 included 627 international terrorism defendants.
Yet somehow a list of defendants ending December 31, 2016, cited in this new report, has just 549 defendants. The report does not provide the raw data or any further description of the data used; it does not explain how a list that contained 627 names in 2015 and 580 names in 2014 now includes far fewer, 549. Devin O’Malley, a Justice Department spokesperson assigned to answer questions about the report, declined to comment about the mysteriously shrinking defendant list.
It appears that Sessions’s Justice Department has edited the data to support the conclusions the president wanted — that foreign-born individuals are the principal problem. The new report shows that of the 549 international terrorism defendants the Trump administration includes in its new list, 254 were not U.S. citizens, 148 were born outside the country and received U.S. citizenship, and 147 were U.S. citizens by birth.
This isn’t the first time that Sessions has been part of an effort to show that individuals who are born in foreign countries pose a disproportionate terrorism risk compared to U.S. citizens who were born here. In 2015, then-Senator Sessions requested the Justice Department list of international terrorism defendants and assigned the staff of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, which he chaired at the time, to research the country of origin and immigration status of each defendant. The list Sessions’s staff worked with was the 2014 one with 580 defendants.
Sessions’s efforts back then showed that country of origin is a poor predictor of terrorist threat. Of the 580 defendants on that list, 375 were born outside the United States, according to the research of Sessions’s staff. But more defendants on the list were from the United States than from any other country, Sessions’s staff discovered.
Unlike Sessions’s previous project, the new report from the Justice and Homeland Security departments does not provide key details about its data, such as the number of international terrorism defendants from specific countries. Instead, the agencies cherry-picked eight “illustrative examples” of defendants from the data. Seven of the eight chosen were from Muslim-majority nations. However, the report does not mention that previous iterations of the government’s international terrorism defendant list have included significant numbers from non-Muslim countries, including most notably Colombia, which in the data Sessions analyzed as a senator had more defendants than Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. Colombia is home to the paramilitary group FARC, a designated terrorist organization.
The new report concludes by noting that the Justice and Homeland Security departments “will continue to report appropriate information regarding terrorism-related activity, as well as other information as directed under the President’s Executive Order, in an effort to highlight the threats facing the United States, trends, and relevant U.S. Government actions.” But nothing in the report addresses the threat of domestic terrorists and how many of those terrorists were natural-born U.S. citizens. In a practice that predates the Trump administration, the Justice Department does not maintain a central list of domestic terrorism defendants, as it does for those prosecuted for international terrorism.
The Intercept maintains a database of international terrorism defendants. The database’s sources include the previously released defendant lists from the Justice Department and announcements from the National Security Division. To date, the Justice Department has designated 834 people as international terrorism defendants. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '4b21a6625f6826426b53d899e44d62857ba891e5d57fd1e7c294c6e727502a6c'} |
Are You the Weakest Link?
Nobody’s good at everything. Whether it’s the work that you do for a living or your work in the studio, there are some things that you’re better at than others. That’s no surprise, right?
But what are those specific things that you are really good at in the studio? And what are the things that you’re not-so-good at?
If you remember that old TV show called “The Weakest Link”, at the end of the show this British lady would stand up and say, “Joe, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.”
That poses an interesting question. What should you do with the weaknesses that you have in your studio, in your abilities as a recording engineer? Let’s think about that.

343 A.2d 599 (1975)
Glenn L. FLEMMING and Nylon Capitol Federal Credit Union, Petitioners below, Appellants,
v.
W. Howard THOMPSON, Respondent below, Appellee.
Supreme Court of Delaware.
Submitted May 12, 1975.
Decided August 1, 1975.
Randy J. Holland, Dunlap & Holland, P. A., Georgetown, for petitioners below, appellants.
H. Clay Davis, III, Georgetown, for respondent below, appellee.
Before HERRMANN, C. J., DUFFY, J., and QUILLEN, Chancellor.
DUFFY, Justice:
Relying on Doeber v. Thackston, Del. Super., 70 A.2d 263 (1949), the Superior *600 Court determined that liens of execution on a mobile home secured pursuant to 10 Del.C. § 5081 take precedence over the prior-in-time rights of a bona fide purchaser for value of the home.
10 Del.C. § 5081 provides:
"An execution shall not bind goods and chattels until it is delivered to the sheriff or other proper officer to be executed. An execution shall, from the time it is so delivered, bind all the goods and chattels of the defendant within the bailiwick, which shall be actually levied upon within 60 days thereafter. No levy upon goods and chattels, made by virtue of execution process, shall be of any force or effect as against a subsequent execution levied upon the same goods and chattels for a longer period than 3 years from the making of such first mentioned levy."
The statute is of ancient origin, see Code of 1852 §§ 2492, 2493, and Woolley on Delaware Practice § 1014.
The Superior Court held that the rights of a judgment creditor were superior to those of a prior bona fide purchaser for value when the levy of execution on the judgment (attachment FiFa) was not made until after the property had been sold and title had passed. In brief, the Court gave effect to the relation-back provision, holding that the lien became effective from the date of delivery of the writ to the Sheriff. We conclude, however, that this aspect of § 5081, which is an archaic anomaly in current commercial life, has been superseded by the Uniform Commercial Code which became effective in Delaware on July 1, 1967.
The Code, 6 Del.C. § 2-403, provides in part:
"A purchaser of goods acquires all title which his transferor had or had power to transfer.... A person with voidable title has power to transfer a good title to a good faith purchaser for value."
Here, the judgment debtor sold the property to a mobile home dealer who sold to the bona fide purchaser for value who financed the purchase through a Federal Credit Union. All of that was completed before the levy was made by the Sheriff. At the time of sale the judgment debtor held at least a "voidable title" and under the specific language of the Code he had the "power to transfer a good title to a good faith purchaser for value." He did so and it follows that the purchaser received a title immune from attack on the basis of a later levy.
We hold that to the extent there is any inconsistency between 10 Del.C. § 5081 and 6 Del.C. § 2-403, the former has been repealed.
Reversed.

body & brain hunger
Body hunger is typical hunger, the kind where your stomach growls. Brain hunger deals with the emotions, like cravings and eating for the experience.

Body hunger
Body hunger includes stomach growls, headaches, shakiness, lack of concentration, irritability, and nausea. Without a doubt, find food ASAP once one or more of these symptoms start. Keep in mind, you don’t need these symptoms to occur for permission to eat.
Here’s a downloadable hunger worksheet to help you digest (haha) your hunger. Before and after meals, rate your body hunger on the scale. The sweet spot is somewhere between a 4 and a 6. Pro tip: the point of this scale isn’t to tell you when you can eat and when you can’t eat. It’s to make you more aware of what your body telling you. For example, I have definitely been a 7 on the scale and still said yes to dessert. It’s okay to eat when you are not hungry – intuitive eating is more than just body hunger. It’s recognizing the emotions and cravings that your brain is telling you to.

Brain hunger
Brain hunger is more about emotions and cravings. It’s everything that goes into why and what you eat.
Your motivation to eat is the “why” you are eating. Remember, it’s okay to eat if you aren’t hungry. Maybe your 6-hour shift is coming up so you’re eating to prevent hunger in the middle of your shift. Maybe you’re full, but your roommate just made fresh and hot cookies (I would sincerely hope you take her up on one of those cookies). Maybe you’re getting a little hangry so you eat. Maybe you just had a breakup and Ben & Jerry’s is calling your name. All of these motivations to eat are okay.
Cravings are the power behind “what” you eat. Give yourself permission to eat. And eat whatever will be most satisfying. It can be challenging because up to this point the focus was on self-control, not hunger cues. With that being said, at the beginning of intuitive eating, you may overeat. That is okay!!
Let’s say for example you recently said buh-bye to dieting. Now no foods are off limits, so you decide to make some cookie dough (because why not?). You’ve been deprived for so long, you overeat about the whole bowl of cookie dough. You probably won’t feel so hot afterward (maybe an 8 on the scale). You acknowledge your physical and emotional feelings, reaffirm yourself that no foods are bad, let go of any guilt, and you move on with your day. Flash forward to the next time you’re around cookie dough — it’s not an off-limits food and you remember how that 8 on the hunger scale felt. You are now able to eat a couple spoonfuls and be satisfied (woohoo, at a 5!). In actuality, it will take months to be that completely comfortable with intuitive eating. Don’t give up hope, change is usually a little uncomfortable – but that’s where there is growth.
but that is where there's growth.png
Eat what you want to eat. A diet based on moderation will feel best. It’s about finding a balance between what sounds good and what feels good. Personally, a meal with grilled chicken and steamed vegetables may feel good, but it doesn’t always sound good. Whereas a large tater tot and double cheeseburger sounds good, but doesn’t always feel good.
Screen Shot 2018-02-21 at 1.49.27 PM.png
Lastly, it’s perfectly healthy to eat to fulfill emotional needs. A cheesy pizza dinner might be precisely what you need after a long, hard day. A round of fun cocktails might be the best way to celebrate a promotion. Eating to cope with emotional needs is healthy, just as long as it’s not your only way to cope. Other ways to cope include talking with friends or a counselor, going on a run, painting, listening to music, taking a hot shower, or journaling.
You see, body and brain hunger are equally important when it comes to being a healthy eater. Healthy eaters honor physical and emotional hunger needs, which is what intuitive eating is all about. Intuitive eating has given me food and body peace. I want that for you. So, if you’re ready, I’d recommend downloading my hunger worksheet. Before meals, explore your different body and brain hunger cues. After meals, process your fullness and satisfaction. Practice, practice, practice…and before you know it, you’ll be an intuitive (& healthy) eater.

link-load balancer (link balancer)
A link load balancer, also called a link balancer, is a network appliance that distributes in-bound and out-bound traffic to and from multiple Internet Service Provider (ISP) links. Link load balancers are typically located between gateway routers and the firewall.
To ensure maximum uptime, many enterprise networks lease two or more ISP links. One of the links connecting the company’s internal network to the ISP acts as a backup. Paying for a link that is rarely used is an inefficient use of bandwidth, however.
A link load balancer uses traffic management algorithms to ensure that all leased ISP links are being used to their best advantage. The network administrator sets policies for the appliance so when it receives a request, it takes into account such things as client and end-user round-trip times and which ISP link has the most available bandwidth before completing the request.

<div class = "event__match event__match - last event__match - oneLine" id = "g_1_ARFva552" title = "Click for match detail!">
If anyone could help me how can i download all match id ...
This is my code:
browser.get("https://www.flashscore.com/football/")
sleep(3)
source = browser.page_source # Get the entire page source from the browser
if browser is not None :browser.close() # No need for the browser so close it
soup = BeautifulSoup(source,'html.parser')
try:
Tags = soup.select('div.leagues--live') # get the elements using css selectors
print(Tags)
for tag in Tags: # loop through them
matchId = tag.find('div').get('id')
print (matchId)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
Thank you in advance for your help
A:
If you are using selenium and bs4 then induce WebDriverWait and wait for visibility_of_element_located() instead of sleep()
Use following css selector to return all the div elements having id attribute.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
browser=webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("https://www.flashscore.com/football/")
WebDriverWait(browser,20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div.leagues--live")))
source = browser.page_source # Get the entire page source from the browser
if browser is not None :browser.close() # No need for the browser so close it
soup = BeautifulSoup(source,'html.parser')
try:
Tags = soup.select("div.leagues--live div[title='Click for match detail!'][id]") # get the elements using css selectors
for tag in Tags: # loop through them
print (tag['id'])
except Exception as e:

Taking Your Business Online
For both retailers and wholesalers of diamonds and diamond jewelry, the development of an online strategy is no longer a marketing alternative but rather a strategic imperative. Consumers today almost invariably begin their decision-making process with an online search, even if they prefer completing the sale face-to-face with the supplier. In conducting that search, they are looking for more than just information about the vendor, but also for the specific products they wish to purchase.
The solution for retailers and wholesalers is to include on their company website a search module, enabling prospective customers to look for the specific diamonds the company is able to supply. The data being searched does not necessarily include merchandise in the possession of the vendor, but rather is contributed by retailer or wholesalers’ own suppliers, with the actual goods being delivered only if required.
For diamond and diamond jewelry companies that are beginning the task of taking their businesses online, or firms looking to upgrade their existing online operations, a myriad of options are available. The one that should be selected is that which best meets the strategic goals of the company, its budget and its technical capability.
MID House of Diamonds is happy assist its clients in making the online journey, providing counsel, support and actual tools that enable them to display the MID inventory as their own.
The following is brief guide to the process that should be followed.
What you’ll learn in this article:
1. The exclusively marketing option
2. The hybrid option
3. The virtual store option
1. The simple approach
2. Adding a sales capacity
3. Software options
4. Inventory options
1. Rapnet
2. Polygon
3. Idex
4. Gemfind
5. Virtual Diamond Boutique (VDB)
Before selecting actual tools and services, it is important to delineate what you plan to achieve with your online service.
It is important to appreciate that the online service is a tool designed to achieve a business objective, and not an objective in and of itself. And just as your business goals may change with time and experience, possibly expanding in scope and becoming bolder, so will you be able to upgrade your online offering.
Taking Your Business Online with MID House of Diamonds
1. The exclusively marketing option
In this case, your goal is to make contact with prospective clients and convince them that your store is able to fulfil their product needs. Actual sales take place offline, in the store itself, meaning that viable clients must reside within a given geographic area.
2. The hybrid option
Here, the online service is both a marketing and sales tool, meaning that it is designed to both draw clients into stores, where they can interact with sales staff transactions will be finalized face to face, as well as provide the option of completing sales online. This means that the company can develop a customer base that extends far beyond its physical location. However, because goods will have to delivered long distance, the strategy demands a more sophisticated logistics capability than the exclusively marketing option.
3. The virtual store option
This the all-in alternative, where there is no physical store and the entire business is managed online, from marketing through sales. Consequently, the company’s entire operational budget will be invested in the development of its online capability, as well as the logistics required to deliver merchandise and to service its customer base. Because these businesses do not enjoy the luxury of face-to-face communication with their clients, competitive pricing and a preferential relationship with their suppliers are of paramount importance.
The simple approach
It is possible to set up an online sales service literally in minutes, and at reasonable cost. This can be done by way of an aggregator, which is a trading network that accumulates inventory data that has been uploaded by multiple diamond suppliers, and then enabling jewelers to display those goods on their own websites as their own.
Among the most widely-used aggregators are Rapnet, IDEX, Polygon, GemFind and Virtual Diamond Boutique. Companies who subscribe to their services can select which diamond suppliers they prefer to work (one of which is MID House of Diamonds), or alternatively they can display goods uploaded by all suppliers, according to the criteria that they themselves have supplied.
So that aggregator subscribers may enable their own clients to run searches and display the results, the aggregators offer predesigned widgets, which are templates of diamond search tools. These are embedded into an iFrame on a page of the subscriber’s website, simply by cutting and pasting a line of HTML code supplied by the aggregator.
Social media at MID
The search tools are generally quite flexible, including the types of search criteria that will be provided and the information about the diamonds listed. If a company wants to display prices for specific stones, they can provide fixed markups. They also can link to grading reports, photos and 3-D images.
If diamond retailers or wholesalers would like to include their own merchandise in the search being conducted on their websites, they can do so by signing up as vendors with their aggregators, and then selecting themselves as one of their own suppliers. By listing their own goods via the aggregator, they also will have the opportunity of selling through other retailers, but, if they choose not to, they can select a setting by which other subscribers will not be able to see their diamonds.
Software options
To be able to make sales online, one requires shopping cart software to manage orders, collect shipping information and enable payments. These applications also include search modules, and their back offices may facilitate real time inventory updates.
The least expensive shopping cart options generally involve hosted ecommerce software, providing everything from domain name registration to the tools you need to build the website. However, they generally are limited in the degree to which they can be customized. Among the better-known brands are Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix and Volusion. More customizable hosted platforms are Opencart, Woocommerce, Prestashop and Magento. Some require the services of professional support staff.
The third approach is to custom build your ecommerce site, providing it with a look, feel and customer experience that is unique to your brand, with exactly the features and functions you require. This option almost certainly demands the largest investment, requiring designers, programmers and support staff. But for companies running large virtual stores, it often is the favored approach.
Inventory options
Once you have set up your ecommerce website, you need to populate it with inventory. These come by way of APIs (application programming interfaces), which allow the businesses to display merchandise from outside data feeds that prior to a sale remains in the possession of stones’ supplier, but are displayed so they appear to be the ecommerce site’s own offering. To these the ecommerce operators can add inventory that they have in their possession.
The data received may come by way of one the major aggregators, in a readable file formats such as CSV, XML or JSON, and include the inventory of multiple companies, which can be selected by the ecommerce site (among them MID House of Diamonds), with the ecommerce website operator selecting exactly what information will be received and displayed. The data feeds are updated on a regular basis.
But feeds from aggregators do have their drawbacks. One is that that the same stone is frequently displayed on multiple websites, with prices that may be widely divergent, and certain of diamonds listed may no longer be available. The alternative to develop a close working relationship with one or more trusted diamond suppliers, which have the capability of independently provide their own API feeds. One of the most prominent diamond companies offering the service is MID House of Diamonds.
For companies selecting to obtain data directly from MID House of Diamonds, the company has created an easy-to-use online API module, via which the ecommerce retailer is able to set criteria as to what specific stones should be included from MID’s inventory, and what specific data should be displayed after a search, including links to images of the diamonds and their respective grading reports. MID listings provide links gem-grading reports, phots of the diamonds, and 3-D images, which can be turned and manipulated in the same way one would do if examining the stone physically under a loupe. These have been produced using the Vision 360 system.

Blazing Eternity - A World To Drown In
Year of release: 2003
Genre: Gothic Rock/Metal
Country: Denmark
01. Cover Me With Your Eyes
02. To Meet You In Those Dreams
03. A World To Drown In
04. Stars In July
05. (Don't) Tell The World
06. Procession
07. En Nat Bliver Det Sommer
08. Monument
09. White
In a few words:
Blazing Eternity is a Danish band from Copenhagen and "A World To Drown In" is their second and probably their last album (they have released nothing since this album). The band started as an extreme metal band, but through the years they get rid of the extreme elements from their music and they incorporated a more melodic rock-oriented sound. In this album they balance between gothic rock and metal, while they have composed a lot of beautiful melodies. The album is quite atmospheric, melancholic and emotional. The guitars shift from heavy riffs to acoustic chords progression, enhancing the emotional change that takes place through the songs. The rhythm section is good and the singer has a very nice "emotional" voice. Influences: from Finnish gothic metal bands till even Smiths. It is a very beautiful album, so give it a try...

Windows 7 really was some girl's idea, rules ASA
The ASA has ruled that it's perfectly plausible to claim that Windows 7 was developed by a bunch of rugby players' girlfriends, "private-browsing" dads, and spud-faced kids in Spanish cafes rather than a bunch of highly trained, generously paid developers in Redmond.
The ruling came in response to eight complaints about one of the ads which ran earlier this year: to wit, "Alice's" claim that she invented the concept of recording and watching TV on her laptop after her boyfriend smashed the telly with a badly aimed rugby pass.
According to the ASA, eight complainants "challenged whether the ad was misleading, because it implied that the ability to watch television programmes on a PC was a new technology, when they understood that the feature had been available for several years on other operating systems".
Microsoft's response kicked off by saying that it had no intention of using the ad again, which might be a relief to its developers who are still having to convince their friends and family that Windows 7 really was their idea.
The firm added that it did not believe the ad actually claimed that watching TV via PC was a new idea, or was exclusive to Windows 7, but was simply to raise awareness of the OS's inbuilt capability. It added that Windows 7 was the only broadly available platform which supported both DVB-T and DVB-S without additional software.
Microsoft's agency, Traffic Bureau, added that the ads were "overtly fictitious" with a "comedic tone which portrayed a consumer claiming to be the mastermind behind certain Windows 7 features". It added that Alice's claim was meant to suggest "Microsoft had taken it from her in a deceitful manner". In a comedic and ficticious manner of course.
If this leaves you feeling that having to have the joke explained means it didn't really work, no matter. Microsoft's explanation was wholeheartedly accepted by the ASA, which declared the ad was not misleading. ® | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ae74f6b388b5f6dd3f844540b708d7648afa6b7694bdca2218cc0313265aad94'} |

Introduction
============
The origin of the observed ultrahigh-energy (UHE) cosmic-rays (CRs) above the “ankle”, roughly at EeV ($= 10^{18}$ eV) energy, of the CR energy spectrum is most probably extra-galactic. Any galactic origin at this energy, due to small magnetic deflections, would result in an anisotropic distribution of their arrival direction contrary to the observed data. The requirement that they are not attenuated by the cosmic microwave background through photo-meson ($p\gamma$) interactions constrains them to have originated within a radius of 50-100 Mpc, the so-called “GZK” volume.[@g66; @zk66] Two broad classes of models suggested are the “top-down” scenarios, which attribute UHECRs to the decay of fossil Grand Unification defects, and the “bottom-up” scenarios, which assume UHECRs are accelerated in astrophysical sources.
The observed UHECR energy injection rate into the universe is $\sim
3\times 10^{44} ~{\rm erg~Mpc^{-3}~yr^{-1}}$ above the ankle. This is similar to the $\sim 0.1$-$1$ MeV $\gamma$-ray energy injection rate by the local gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which led to postulating that GRBs are the sources of UHECRs.[@v95; @w95a] This coincidence has been corroborated using new data and further considerations,[@wax04; @vdg03; @wick04] making GRBs promising candidates for UHECRs. Other candidates, in the bottom-up scenario, are active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and cluster accretion shocks. An unavoidable by-product of UHECR acceleration is the production of UHE neutrinos, via $p\gamma$ and $pp,~pn$ interactions. We limit our discussion to UHE neutrinos from GRBs here.
Nature of the High Energy Emission from GRBs
============================================
In the most widely accepted GRB model, the [*fireball shock model*]{}, the prompt $\gamma$-rays are produced by shocks in the plasma material ejected in a jet moving relativistically (with a bulk Lorentz factor $\Gamma \gtrsim 100$), usually taken to be ([*internal shocks*]{}), or in other versions an [*external shock*]{} (see, e.g., Ref. \[\]). Such jets can arise from the core collapse of massive stars, convincingly shown to be the progenitor of long GRBs, or from mergers of compact binary systems (neutron star-neutron star, black hole-neutron star), which may be implicated in producing short GRBs. Late time collision of the jet material with an external medium (external shocks) produce a long lasting x-ray, UV and optical radiation, collectively known as the GRB afterglow.
The highly relativistic nature of the outflows is inferred from and constrained by the observations of GeV photons which avoid attenuation by $\gamma\gamma \to e^\pm$ production [*in situ*]{}. The probable mechanism(s) responsible for the observed photons is/are synchrotron radiation or/and inverse Compton (IC) scattering by high energy electrons. These electrons are accelerated by the relativistic shocks via the Fermi mechanism in the tangled magnetic field, resulting in a power-law energy distribution. The high bulk Lorentz factors result in synchrotron spectra which in the observer frame extend beyond 100 MeV, and IC scattering of such synchrotron photons leads to the expectation of GeV and TeV spectral components.[@mrp94] While $\lesssim 18$ GeV photons have been observed,[@hur94] TeV photons are likely to be degraded to lower energies by $\gamma\gamma$ pair production, either in the source itself,[@razmz04_gev] or (unless the GRB is at very low redshifts) in the intervening intergalactic medium.[@coppi97; @dejste02]
GRBs are likely to be more luminous in neutrinos, gravitational waves and cosmic rays compared to sub-GeV electromagnetic channels which comprise a small fraction of the burst kinetic energy. A significant amount of baryons (neutrons and protons) are expected to be present in the GRB jet along with leptons, each with $\Gamma m_pc^2 \gtrsim 100$ GeV bulk kinetic energy in the observer frame. Protons are also expected to co-accelerate with electrons in the internal and external shocks by the same Fermi mechanism. Using the shock parameters inferred from broad-band photon spectral fits, one infers that protons can be accelerated to Lorentz factors up to $\lesssim 10^{11}$ in the observer frame, i.e. to the GZK energy of $E_p\sim 10^{20}$ eV.
High Energy Neutrinos
=====================
High energy neutrinos, detectable by the neutrino telescopes such as IceCube in the $\sim 100$ GeV-EeV range, are produced in the GRBs in a way similar to the beam-dump experiments in particle accelerators. Shock-accelerated protons interacting with ambient radiation and/or plasma material by photonuclear ($p\gamma$) and/or inelastic nuclear ($pp/pn$) collisions produce charged pions ($\pi^\pm$) and neutral pions ($\pi^0$). Neutrinos are produced from $\pi^\pm$ decays along with muons and electrons.
Such neutrinos may serve as diagnostics of the presence of relativistic shocks, and as probes of the acceleration mechanism and the magnetic field strength. The flux and spectrum of EeV neutrinos depends on the density of the surrounding gas, while the TeV-PeV neutrinos depend on the fireball Lorentz factor. Hence, the detection of very high energy neutrinos would provide crucial constraints on the fireball parameters and GRB environment. Lower energy ($\lesssim$TeV) neutrinos originating from sub-stellar shocks, on the other hand, may provide useful information on the GRB progenitor.
Neutrinos contemporaneous with the gamma-rays
---------------------------------------------
With an initial $\Gamma_i = 300 ~\Gamma_{300}$ and a variability time scale $\delta t = 10^{-3} \delta t_{-3}$ s, internal shocks in the GRB jet take place at a radius $r_i \sim 2 \Gamma_i^2 c \delta t
\sim 5 \times 10^{12} \delta t_{-3} \Gamma_{300}^2$ cm. The fireball becomes optically thin at a radius $\lesssim r_i$ allowing observed $\gamma$-ray emission. Shock accelerated protons interact dominantly with observed synchrotron photons with $\sim$MeV peak energy in the fireball to produce a $\Delta^+$ resonance as $p\gamma \rightarrow
\Delta^+$. The threshold condition to produce a $\Delta^+$ is $E_p
E_{\gamma} = 0.2 \Gamma_i^2$ GeV$^2$ in the observer frame, which corresponds to a proton energy of $E_p = 1.8 \times 10^{7}
E_{\gamma, {\rm MeV}}^{-1} \Gamma_{300}^{2}$ GeV. The short-lived $\Delta^+$ decays either to $p\pi^0$ or to $n \pi^+ \rightarrow n
\mu^+ \nu_{\mu} \rightarrow n e^+ \nu_e {\bar \nu}_{\mu} \nu_{\mu}$ with roughly equal probability. It is the latter process that produces high energy neutrinos in the GRB fireball, contemporaneous with the $\gamma$-rays.[@wb97a] The secondary $\pi^+$ receive $\sim 20\%$ of the proton energy in such an $p\gamma$ interaction and each secondary lepton roughly shares 1/4 of the pion energy. Thus each flavor ($\nu_e$, ${\bar \nu}_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\mu}$) of neutrino is emitted with $\sim 5\%$ of the proton energy, dominantly in the PeV ($=10^{15}$ eV) range, with equal ratios.
The diffuse muon neutrino flux from GRB internal shocks due to proton acceleration and subsequent $p\gamma$ interactions is shown as the short dashed line in Fig. \[fig:nujet\]. The flux is compared to the Waxman-Bahcall limit of cosmic neutrinos from optically thin sources, which is derived from the observed cosmic ray flux.[@wb00] The fluxes of all three neutrino flavors ($\nu_e$, $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$) are expected to be equal after oscillation in vacuum over astrophysical distances.

Neutrinos from the GRB afterglow
--------------------------------
The GRB afterglow arises when relativistic jetted plasma material starts being slowed down by the external medium (e.g. the interstellar medium, or ISM), driving a blast wave ahead of the jet. This produces an external forward shock or blast wave, and a reverse shock in the jet. The external shock takes place at a radius $r_e \sim 4\Gamma_e^2 c
\Delta t \sim 2 \times 10^{17} \Gamma_{250}^2 \Delta t_{30}$ cm which is well beyond the internal shock radius.[@wb00] Here $\Gamma_{e}
\approx 250 \Gamma_{250}$ is the bulk Lorentz factor of the ejecta after the partial energy loss from emitting $\gamma$-rays in the internal shocks, and $\Delta t = 30 \Delta t_{30}$ s is the duration of the GRB jet. Neutrinos are produced in the external reverse shock due to $p\gamma$ interactions of shock accelerated protons predominantly with synchrotron soft x-ray photons produced by electrons. The energy of the neutrinos from the afterglow would be in the EeV range as more energetic protons interact with these soft photons to produce $\Delta^+$. The efficiency of proton to pion conversion by $p\gamma$ interactions in the external shocks (afterglow) is typically smaller than in the internal shocks because $r_e \gg r_i$, implying lower photon density.
In the case of a massive star progenitor the GRB jet may be expanding into a stellar wind much denser than the typical ISM density of $n\simeq
1~{\rm cm}^{-3}$, which is emitted by the progenitor prior to its collapse. For a wind with mass loss rate of $\sim 10^{-5} M_\odot~{\rm yr}^{-1}$ and velocity of $v_w\sim 10^3~{\rm km/s}$, the wind density at the typical external shock radius would be $\simeq 10^4~{\rm cm}^{-3}$. The higher density implies a lower $\Gamma_e$, and hence a larger fraction of proton energy lost to pion production. Protons of energy $E_p\gtrsim
10^{18}$ eV lose all their energy to pion production in this scenario producing EeV neutrinos.[@dl01]
Precursor neutrinos
-------------------
In the long duration GRBs, the relativistic jet is expected to be launched near the central black hole resulting from the collapse of the stellar core, hence the jet is initially buried deep inside the star. As the jet burrows through the stellar material, it may or may not break through the stellar envelope.[@mw01] Internal shocks in the jet, while it is burrowing through the stellar interior, can produce high energy neutrinos due to accelerated protons, dominantly below $\sim 10$ TeV, through $pp$ and $p\gamma$ interactions.[@rmw03b] The jets which successfully penetrate through the stellar envelope result in GRBs ($\gamma$-ray bright bursts), while the jets which choke inside the stars do not produce GRBs ($\gamma$-ray dark bursts). However, in both cases high energy neutrinos can be produced in the internal shocks, which slice through the stellar envelope since they interact very weakly with matter.
These neutrinos from the relativistic buried jets are emitted as precursors ($\sim$ 10-100 s prior) to the neutrinos emitted from the GRB fireball in case of an electromagnetically observed burst. In the the case of a choked burst (electromagnetically undetectable) no direct detection of neutrinos from individual sources is possible. However the diffuse neutrino signal is boosted up in both scenarios. The diffuse neutrino flux from two progenitor star models are shown in Fig. \[fig:nujet\], one for a blue super-giant (labeled H) of radius $R_\ast=3 \times 10^{12}$ cm and the other a Wolf-Rayet type (labeled He) of radius $R_\ast =10^{11}$ cm. The Waxman-Bahcall diffuse cosmic ray bound,[@wb99] the atmospheric flux and the IceCube sensitivity to diffuse flux are also plotted for comparison. The neutrino component which is contemporaneous with the gamma-ray emission (i.e. which arrives after the precursor) is shown as the dark dashed curve, and is plotted assuming that protons lose all their energy to pions in $p\gamma$ interactions in internal shocks.
Early $np$ decoupling non-thermal neutrinos
-------------------------------------------
Neutrons are expected to be present in considerable numbers in the GRB jet ($n_n \simeq n_p$) because of a [*neutronized*]{} core similar to that in supernovae in the case of long GRB, and from neutron star material in the case of a short GRB. In the long GRB, the core collapse neutronization leads to copious thermal ($\sim 10$ MeV) neutrinos, but due to their low energy, their cross section is too small for detection at cosmological distances. However, in both long and short GRB outflows, neutrons are present, and are initially coupled to the protons by elastic nuclear scattering. If the initial acceleration of the fireball is very high, the neutrons can eventually decouple from the fireball, when the comoving expansion time falls below the nuclear scattering time. Protons, on the other hand, continue accelerating and expanding with the fireball as they are coupled to the electrons by Coulomb scattering. The relative velocity between the protons and neutrons, in such a case, can get high enough for inelastic interactions ($np$) above the pion production threshold of $\sim 140$ MeV, leading to $\sim 10$ GeV neutrinos in the observer’s frame.[@dkk99; @bm00; @mr00b] Highly neutron-enriched ($n_n \sim 10 n_p$) jet in case of short GRBs may lead to $\sim 50$ GeV neutrinos, as the relative velocity between the protons and neutrons increases substantially, which are detectable from a nearby burst.[@rm06a]
GRB-Supernova Connection
========================
A fraction of long GRBs have recently been shown to be associated with supernovae of type Ib/c.[@DellaValle:2005cr] A GRB jet loaded with baryons would then leave long-lasting UHE CR, neutrino and photon signatures in those supernova remnants which were associated with a GRB at the time of their explosion. One example may be the SN remnant W49B which is probably a GRB remnant. A signature of a neutron component in the relativistic jet outflow would be a TeV $\gamma$-ray signature due to inverse Compton interactions following neutron decay.[@iokkm04] Another example may be some of the HESS unidentified sources.[@atoy05] Neutron decay would also give rise to TeV neutrinos. The imaging of the surrounding emission could provide new constraints on the jet structure of the GRB.
Cosmic-rays accelerated in the GRB remnant, similar to SN remnants which are observed as TeV $\gamma$-ray sources such as RX J1713.7-3946, would also be expected to produce UHE neutrinos.[@ah02] Expected neutrino and $\gamma$-ray energy, commonly originating from $p\gamma$ and/or $pp/pn$ interactions, would be higher in case of GRB remnants because of the higher expansion velocity.
Neutrino Flavor Astrophysics
============================
High energy neutrinos from astrophysical optically thin sources are expected to be produced dominantly via $p\gamma$ interactions. Subsequent decay of $\pi^+$ and neutrino flavor oscillations in vacuum lead to an observed anti-electron to total neutrino flux ratio of $\Phi_{\bar\nu_e}:
\Phi_{\nu} \simeq 1:15$.[@lp95] At high energy this ratio may be lower even,[@kw05] since the muons suffer significant electromagnetic energy loss prior to decay.[@rachen98] In the case of $pp/pn$ interactions, typically attributed to optically thick sources, $\pi^\pm$ are produced in pairs and the corresponding expected flux ratio on Earth is $\Phi_{\bar\nu_e}: \Phi_{\nu} \simeq
1:6$. However even in the optically thin sources the nominal $\Phi_{\bar\nu_e}: \Phi_{\nu}$ ratio may be enhanced above $1:15$ by $\gamma\gamma\to \mu^\pm$ interactions and subsequent $\mu^\pm$ decays.[@rmw06a] The targets are usual synchrotron photons and UHE incident photons are provided by the $p\gamma\to p\pi^0 \to
p\gamma\gamma$ channel itself. This mechanism yields an enhancement ratio $\Phi_{\bar\nu_e}: \Phi_{\nu} \simeq 1:5$ solely from $\mu^\pm$ decays.
Measurement of the ${\bar\nu_e}$ to $\nu$ flux ratios may be possible by IceCube at the Glashow resonant interaction ${\bar \nu}_e e \to W^-
\to {\rm anything}$ at $E_{\nu} \simeq 6.4$ PeV.[@aghw05] Any enhancement over the $1:15$ ratio, e.g., from a single nearby GRB would then suggest a $\gamma\gamma$ origin. However, the flux of $\gamma\gamma$ neutrinos depend on the source model such as magnetization, radius etc. We have plotted the ${\bar\nu_e}$ to $\nu$ flux ratio in Fig. \[fig:fluxratio\], which includes the contribution from $p\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma$ channels, from a GRB internal shocks with different model parameters. The solid, dashed, dotted-dash and dotted lines correspond to the magnetization parameter $\varepsilon_B= 10^{-1}$, $10^{-2}$, $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$ respectively. The shocks take place at the photosphere ($r_{\rm ph}$) and at a radius $10r_{\rm ph}$.[@rmw06a] Note that the ratio is enhanced from the $p\gamma$ value of 1/15 in the small energy range where $\gamma\gamma$ interactions contribute significantly. This result then may be used to learn about the GRB model parameters.

Conclusions
===========
Although fireball shock model is the leading GRB scenario, there is no strong direct proof so far for the internal shock or the reverse shock origin of the observed radiation. High energy neutrino emission from GRBs would serve as a direct test for this, as well as for “baryonic" jet models, where the bulk of the energy is carried by baryons. On the other hand, an alternative Poynting flux dominated GRB jet model would have to rely on magnetic dissipation and reconnection, accelerating electrons and hence also accelerating protons– but there would be much fewer protons to accelerate and probably to much lower energy.
The [*Pierre Auger Observatory*]{}, a CR detector currently under construction, will have very large ($\sim 3000$ km$^2$ each for its two location in the Southern and Northern hemisphere) area.[@auger_site] It will help to disentangle the two scenarios (top-down or bottom-up) and will reveal whether a GZK feature indeed exists by greatly improving the UHECR count statistics. Within the bottom-up scenario, the directional information may either prove or significantly constrain the alternative AGN scenario, and may eventually shed light on whether GRBs are indeed the sources of UHECRs.
Upcoming experiments such as IceCube,[@icecube_site] ANITA,[@anita_site] KM3NeT,[@km3net_site] and Auger[@auger_site] are currently being built to detect high energy astrophysical neutrinos. They can provide very useful information on the particle acceleration, radiation mechanism and magnetic fields, as well as about the sources and their progenitors. Direct confirmation of a GRB origin of UHECRs is difficult but the highest energy neutrinos may indirectly serve that purpose pointing directly back to their sources. Most GRBs are located at cosmological distances (with redshift $z\sim 1$) and individual detection of them by km scale neutrino telescopes may not be possible. The diffuse neutrino flux is then dominated by a few nearby bursts. The likeliest prospect for UHE $\nu$ detection is from these nearby GRBs in correlation with electromagnetic detection.
The prospect for high energy neutrino astrophysics is very exciting, with AMANDA already providing useful limits on the diffuse flux from GRBs[@sta04_amanda; @becker06_amanda] and with IceCube[@ahrens04; @hulth06_icecube] on its way. The detection of TeV and higher energy neutrinos from GRBs would be of great importance for understanding the astrophysics of these sources such as the hadronic vs. the magnetohydrodynamic composition of the jets, as well as the CR acceleration mechanisms involved. High energy neutrinos from GRBs may also serve as probes of the highest redshift generation of star formation in the Universe, since they can travel un-attenuated, compared to the conventional electromagnetic astronomical probes.

Here’s a little interesting story from Taleb’s book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.
Taleb: Assume that a coin is fair, i.e., has an equal probability of coming up heads or tails when flipped. I flip it ninety-nine times and get heads each time. What are the odds of my getting tails on my next throw?
Taleb: What do you say, Tony?
Fat Tony: You are either full of crap or a pure sucker to buy that “50 pehcent” business. The coin gotta be loaded. It can’t be a fair game. (Translation: It is far more likely that your assumptions about the fairness are wrong than the coin delivering ninety-nine heads in ninety-nine throws.)
Taleb: But Dr. John said 50 percent.
Fat Tony (whispering in Taleb’s ear): I know these guys with the nerd examples from the bank days. They think way too slow. And they are too commoditized. You can take them for a ride.
Now, of the two of them, which would you favor for the position of mayor of New York City (or Ulan Bator, Mongolia)?
Interesting. Taleb later in his book digs deeper into the comparsion betweenn Fat Tony and Dr. John. Let’s read on.
Let us dig deeper into the problem of knowledge and continue the comparison of Fat Tony and Dr. John. Do nerds tunnel, meaning, do they focus on crisp categories and miss sources of uncertainty? Remember from the Prologue my presentation of Platonification as a top-down focus on a world composed of these crisp categories.
Think of a bookworm picking up a new language. He will learn, say, Serbo-Croatian or Kung by reading a grammar book cover to cover, and memorizing the rules. He will have the impression that some higher grammatical authority set the linguistic regulations so that nonlearned ordinary people could subsequently speak the language. In reality, languages grow organically; grammar is something people without anything more exciting to do in their lives codify into a book. While the scholastic-minded will memorize declensions, the a-Platonic nonnerd will acquire, say, Serbo-Croatian by picking up potential girlfriends in bars on the outskirts of Sarajevo, or talking to cabdrivers, then fitting (if needed) grammatical rules to the knowledge he already possesses.
Lesson learned: Knolwdge can be useful, but don’t be a nerd in life.

This invention relates to an exhaust-gas recirculation system for an internal-combustion engine, and more specifically to such a system improved so that the amount of exhaust-gas recirculation can be automatically increased during engine acceleration.
A variety of methods have been practiced to reduce the concentrations of oxides of nitrogen (hereinafter called "NOx" for simplicity) in the exhaust gases from internal-combustion engines. Of those attempts, the exhaust-gas recirculation ("EGR") by which the exhaust gas is partly returned to the combustion chamber has been known to be most effective in decreasing the NOx emissions.
A typical EGR system so far proposed includes a vacuum-operated EGR valve mounted midway in an EGR pipe providing communication between the intake and exhaust systems of the engine, in such a manner that the EGR valve is communicated with the portion of the intake system near the throttle valve therein through an exhaust-pressure transducer valve and via a vacuum passage. The term "exhaust-pressure transducer valve" as used herein means an arrangement by which a vacuum passage communicating the intake system of the engine with an EGR valve is opened midway to the atmosphere by an atmospheric-releasing orifice and the orifice, in turn, is opened or closed by a valve body fast on a diaphragm responsive to the exhaust pressure on the exhaust side of an EGR pipe in which the EGR valve is mounted, so that the negative pressure or vacuum being introduced into the EGR valve can be controlled.
The control of the vacuum introduction into the EGR valve by use of the exhaust pressure is resorted to because it permits the exhaust gas recirculation according to the rate of air flow into the engine. The exhaust pressure being approximately proportional to the rate of air intake, it follows that, if the exhaust pressure is used to control the entry of vacuum into the EGR valve, then the rate of exhaust gas recirculation can be increased as the air intake increases. With such an EGR system, however, it has been found that when the engine is accelerated by opening the throttle valve in the intake system the NOx emissions are large in the early stage of acceleration. This is attributable to the fact that in the early stage of acceleration with the throttle open the rate of exhaust gas recirculation is inadequate because it fails to catch up with the throttle opening accordingly, and hence the increased NOx emissions during the early period of acceleration. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '77f88968a9204d9c09ed83ed8044e290f54e4e1e025408687f8394d84d71eb05'} |

Review: 'It Follows'
Review: 'It Follows'
A film of slow builds and medium-grade payoffs, "It Follows" imagines a curse represented by a shape-shifting apparition that might be as ordinary-looking as the boy next door. The curse is transmittable only by intercourse, and the infected rid themselves of the deadly phantom by hooking up with someone else. No sex is safe in writer-director David Robert Mitchell's suburban Detroit horror story. It's set more or less in the present, though the vibe of this curious picture owes a lot to the paranoiac cinematic nightmares of the 1960s, '70s and early '80s, from Roman Polanski's "Repulsion" ("It Follows" star Maika Monroe has... | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9308382868766784}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '179337', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:MXOC7TWHF7HV6DZI2LLR25UXL5NFSBDE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:dbf37233-dae5-447d-895c-d745aa284b7f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 3, 13, 42, 12), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.62.7.43', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:DDAMTUNWHNNNIAN7Z2XPHD6JUPD4FCPT', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c39f4f6a-195e-4c45-b25a-5554c49a83d5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/entertainment/movies/music-box-theatre-PLCUL000198-topic.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:456778a2-889f-499c-84e6-37c82a834928>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '117', 'url': 'http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/entertainment/movies/music-box-theatre-PLCUL000198-topic.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-22\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 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': '0.041165053844451904', 'original_id': '0bd28af3bde7d40a60daaf61d5922fe7d9ebe73c05806975b0e064b259c87fe9'} |

Winston Medical Center
Winston Medical Center: Getting Better Every Day
In April 2014, a devastating tornado swept through Louisville, Miss., destroying Winston Medical Center’s (WMC’s) 60-year-old facility. Prior to the tornado, WMC had been dealing with inconsistency in its identity, messaging and public relations. The Cirlot Agency was selected to promote the rebuilding of the hospital, and to implement an integrated communications strategy that would rebrand WMC as a state-of-the-art medical facility.
Winston Medical Center’s rebranding process began with a strategy session during which key leaders of the hospital gathered to discuss history, culture and objectives.
Following the strategy session, The Cirlot Agency researched the current perceptions of the community, then developed a brand identity that better aligned with the hospital’s goals and objectives, allowing the hospital and its leaders to deliver a cohesive message throughout all communication efforts and effectively tell its story of rebuilding and community involvement. The Agency developed creative concepts for a branding awareness campaign and executed social media messaging and advertising. Working to unify all external and internal communications, the Agency coordinated content development, event support, media relations, internal communications and sponsorships. Additionally, the Agency reskinned the website, making it more user friendly and improving navigation. However, most impactful, the Agency created videos of employees and patients giving first-hand accounts of what the rebuilding efforts meant to the hospital and community.
The rebranding of Winston Medical Center has resulted in a cohesive, clear message across all communications and advertising efforts. As WMC continued to build on the momentum of the grand opening, there was a substantial increase in social media engagement, as well as an earned media value of $1.1 million.

Create backlinks with your site name as anchor text
Artificial intelligence can greatly help improve your SEO strategy by taking the huge amounts of data from your website and provide more in-depth insights into your pages' analytics. This, in turn, can be used to design a better user experience. White hat SEOs operate above board, performing work that will benefit their sites long term. Backlinks are links from outside domains that point to pages on your domain; essentially linking back from their domain to yours. SEO isn't just for large companies. As a small business or local business, there is actually a lot you can do to achieve local goals yourself. Many of these things relate to focus. Other consumers handle (touch) and read (see) a coupon offer.
Enthusiastic about keyword stuffing
Keyword stuffing results in a significant increase in keyword density and is labeled as spam by search engines, which usually results in the devaluation of the applicable page. My grandson would love a well made rocking horse restorer . Studies have found that click-through rates, conversion rates, and revenue are all higher when both organic and paid listings appear for a search. Links increase the authority and trustworthiness of a page to search engines, which increases the overall authority of that website. You need to iron out several strategies in this phase, including those for handling content, link building, social media, and SEM, as well as technical strategies. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of structuring your site to rank high in on-target search results and boost visits.
What can Twitter teach you about local search
An in-house program will be more consistent, due to a lower turnover rate in the creative team. Optimizing just for search engines may not be enough. Most people trust organic searchresults. SEO in Driffield is here. Viewing your costs in terms of their associated return is a great way to justify the costs that return profits and also minimize the costs that just drain your bank account. For Search Engines, backlinks help to determine the page's importance and value (i.e. authority). Historically, the quantity of backlinks was an indicator of a page's popularity.
Gaz Hall, a SEO Expert from the UK, said: "Websites can benefit from mixing evergreen content with their fresh posts and pages." 9 out of 10 people users make use of Search Engines to find an answer to their query. When these users type in their keywords/query, the Search Engine's bots and spiders run their complex algorithms, scan through the giant database that has been crawled and indexed by them. They, then come up with results (websites) whose keywords matches with that of the query. ou know SEO is a vital element of every decent marketing strategy, something you can't do without. But you don't know where to start to implement best practice and optimise your web presence so search engines can do a proper job of ranking and rating it. The process itself includes a variety of strategies and techniques aimed at improving search engine rankings, and ultimately increasing the amount of organic traffic to your website. If you have a B2B site for oceanographic equipment, there's no point in blogging realtors - unless they lease underwater property.
Areas of your website that may not be interesting to your audience can be found through A/B testing
While search engines have gotten much better at identifying these spammy sites, and filtering them out of their search results, they can still pose a problem. Keyword research is still useful when trying to decide on the most interesting topics for your audience. Keywords can still be part of your content, provided that they are added in context and at the right balance. There's no need to sacrifice the quality of your content to include more keywords, as keyword stuffing can lead to the opposite of the result you want. Maybe blogs aren't what you need right now. Maybe you should consider some long-form, evergreen content instead. Maybe we should get your user interface updated before we start delving into link building. Analytics!!Check them. If your analytics show a high bounce rate from your home page, and that your visitors are not going to your site's inner pages, then this presents a huge opportunity for your to revise your home page and make it easier for your prospects to do what you want them to do. Who wants more traffic?
Create backlinks with your location as anchor text
For the ultimate landing page design and layout, you need to follow the best advice as laid down by the pay-per-click (PPC) marketing industry. Create a list of the different web pages and rank them in order of importance, this will then give you an opportunity to plan when to post your content. People often teach themselves SEO out in the field, because most start their careers as something else. On social media, it's beneficial to follow contrasting people, such as fellow top-notch SEOs, online influencers, industry analysts, and journalists in discrete categories. There's a good chance you have some fantastic resources your audience would love. If you don't, get thinking. What can you build that would really interest your market? That others would share with their readers? Making use of the assets your business has will be a hook for getting attention - building links is much easier when you have content worth linking to. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '597', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8799900412559509}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '38402', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:X5TL7MOWKR4QDHNVNVXBG4IGRRJ42FWB', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:4bf2674a-aa93-4aea-9e79-29adc9cafc39>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 12, 13, 20, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '59.106.28.165', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:BIB7MN66TDO5DMPJMMEHCYHCWMK2J3FC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:3a82dc28-6546-4a78-993d-87e0ec568d2a>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://seotip.seesaa.net/article/464856799.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:1b9d3b86-33de-4587-aafc-628f6fd2bd04>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '794', 'url': 'http://seotip.seesaa.net/article/464856799.html', '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-10-67-67-226.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.05494678020477295', 'original_id': '3206fe503f726320db8756d9ba3df658cb6f17c15be8e48d03d42dffaa20f7df'} |
Cypriot state lawyer: EgyptAir hijacker lied about motives
AP , Saturday 25 Jun 2016
File photo: EgyptAir Hijacker in Cyprus (Reuters)
An Egyptian man lied when he said he hijacked a domestic EgyptAir flight to focus the world's attention on the evils of his country's government, a lawyer seeking the man's extradition claimed Friday.
Lawyer Eleni Loizidou repeatedly attacked Seif Eddin Mustafa's credibility, telling a court that he initially told police in a sworn statement he had hijacked the plane in a bid to see his ex-wife and children in Cyprus after more than two decades apart.
Loizidou said 59-year-old Mustafa never told Cypriot authorities after his arrest that he belonged to an anti-Egyptian government group as he now claims. She also said Mustafa told the Cyprus Asylum Service that he hadn't been persecuted for his political beliefs since the government of President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi came to power.
Loizidou tried to poke holes and highlight contradictions in Mustafa's 18-page testimony in which he claimed that he intended to seek asylum in Italy and to expose Egypt's "fascist" government.
Mustafa is fighting his extradition, fearing that he would be tortured and killed if he is sent back to Egypt and that he would be glad to be tried for the hijacking in Cyprus where he says he would receive a fair trial.
Mustafa has disavowed his statement to police immediately after his arrest, saying everything in it is "wrong" and that he only signed it because he "trusted" Cypriot authorities. He has later insisted he belonged to an underground anti-Egyptian government group and that it made no sense for him to hijack a plane simply to see his family.
But the lawyer painted Mustafa as a petty criminal and highlighted contradictions in his testimony, including his claim of being a pacifist while admitting to having volunteered for a suicide bombing mission in Lebanon back in 1979. She also dismissed his claim that he never meant to take hostages when he hijacked the plane.
The March 29 hijacking ended peacefully on the tarmac of Cyprus' Larnaca airport where the plane was diverted after all 72 passengers and crew were released and Mustafa was arrested.

The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way, but the foolishness of fools is deceit.
Proverbs 14:8
The definition of ‘Prudent’ is ‘acting with or showing care and thought for the future.’ Each human being is moving forward through life. Teachers, students, parents, children—all have the opportunity to practise this characteristic.
Prudence is commonly related to people who are excessively prim and proper, but this is a misrepresentation of it’s true meaning. It’s about taking care of what you have, not treating life lightly. Thinking before speaking, looking to see the bigger perspective, using knowledge to make decisions—showing the world around that time on earth is being valued.
Don’t neglect prudence, but rather, let it bring depth and quality of living into the moments that are given. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9530426859855652}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '33445', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:Q3HSUSCZHQRKTXG2LKR4IETTI2XCJF6E', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:33afa679-81c0-4485-9cc6-fc8104fcc103>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 16, 22, 45, 36), 'WARC-IP-Address': '185.119.173.206', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ESQPZJ24DEVVH2ZKLO2YQEZIS264PA26', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:4256f75a-5823-4cb2-8520-64eb6216c3a2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.teach-at-home.org/articles/prudent/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dce7cccf-3d69-42fc-bf23-aeb0e52f1587>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '130', 'url': 'https://www.teach-at-home.org/articles/prudent/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-09\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-229-147.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': '0.02456796169281006', 'original_id': '5de91a3708e6c69c8668cdd9dfbd470d3864a7da579dac4456459f9d808a9b87'} |
Man caught littering hits back at Virat and Anushka, says they lack etiquette
The Indian Criketer Virat Kohli shared the video of his wife, Anushka Sharma Kohli who scolded a man named Arrhan Singh for littering the road. This video became viral and twitter got divided. Some people applauded the actress for her courage while some called it a publicity stunt.
But now, Arrhan has taken to Facebook to lash out at the couple for being rude and impolite. For Anushka he said, "While I'm apologetic for my carelessness, Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli, a little etiquette and politeness in your dialogue wouldn't have made you a lesser star."

This is not all. He slammed the cricket star too and said "The garbage that mistakenly went out of the window of my 'luxury car' was way less than the garbage that came out from your mouth, from your 'luxury car's window, or the trashy mind of Virat Kohli to shoot and post this online… for whatever gains. Now that's some serious trash"

a voice of reason...? II
I have been consumed for the last week about something I read by Michelle Malkin entitled Namby-pampy nation.
"The left-wing Kumbaya crowd is quietly grooming a generation of pushovers in the public schools. At a time of war, when young Americans should be educated about this nation's resilience and steely resolve, educators are indoctrinating students with saccharine-sticky lessons on 'non-violent conflict resolution' and 'promoting constructive dialogues.'"
At first, I thought she was being cynical or sarcastic with this article because she has two children of her own. Sadly, she is not. She is serious. She wants schools to teach kids how to defend themselves against any and all threats by swinging first - not trying to work things out.
Malkin's justification is, "Just what we need to combat throat-slitting, suicide plane-flying Islamists: young eunuchs swaying to moldy old folk music while their "Peace Place" signs flap in the wind."
[Where have we heard this before?]
Over the last few years, since Mr. Bush became president, we have realized an increase in violence in schools. It is growing and growing to epidemic proportions. It is also escalating from bullying by word to planned attacks.
This past year we had three girls at my school stab a fourth in the back of the head with scissors. They were arrested for the incident and face court dates. Now they are up for expulsion. These girls are only in sixth grade: 12 years old!
What were they fighting about? No one seems to know, including them. It appeared to be over an incident that happened well more than a year ago that they couldn't even remember. It could have had something to do with the shade of one girl's skintone. It could have been a rumor that someone started. It may have been a look one of them gave to another. It might have been that one of their fathers humiliated another one ten years ago! The thing to remember is that one came close to not ever being able to walk again because the scissors were within inches of her spinal column and three others face possible jail time and a minimum of a one year expulsion. Twelve years old!
Their parents were up at the school constantly; the girls were suspended repeatedly; the social worker dealt with them; their teachers did everything they could think of trying; the counselor had sessions with them. They decided that their action spoke louder than words. Yes, the "namby-pamby" approach seems not to have worked. Why?
These girls took Malkin's argument to its conclusion. They stood up for themselves and acted. Sure, the "talking" didn't help and may never have. They became fanatics: forgot their cause but redoubled their efforts. They were unaware of not only why they were (re)acting but also didn't even consider the consequenses. They read and heard on the news that fighting is all right. War is acceptable. It's nothing more than defending oneself. It's all right to fight. It's okay to hurt. It's the right thing to do. At what cost?
Malkin's argument comes from a book entitled One Nation Under Therapy by Christina Hoff Sommers and Sally Satel. Her main quote from the book:
"American children badly need moral clarity. But our education establishment is too uneasy about the idea of moral judgment to meet this elementary need. Feelings of helplessness and disorientation are thoroughly, even compulsively, canvassed, elicited, discussed, and promoted; by contrast, feelings of moral indignation and condemnation are deflected and downplayed. This leaves children defenseless, clueless and unprepared to meet real and grave threats to their own and the nation's future."
We have "moral clarity" in our school system. The rule states very plainly that fighting and violence of any kind is not tolerated and the consequence is suspension, police referral and expulsion. How much more clarity is needed? What learning can happen if this rule is not in place? Unfortunately, none of these consequences seems to get the message across these days.
As far as "moral indignation," where is the condemnation of hunger, poverty, and AID's? If people had food to survive, money to live and no threat of life-threatening disease, where would the need for violence be?
Students are sustaining the violence because they are being given permission to continue it, and most of the permission is subtle by way of what they read and hear from adults. They are afraid and don't know why. No one is talking to the children about what is behind what they hear. No one is explaining to them what is really going on in the world. No one is emphasizing that there are other possible ways of solving problems, and anyone who suggests alternatives is immediately labeled unpatriotic, left-leaning, liberal, and anti-American. Discussion is cut off immediately. Are the scissors next?
When the train bombing occurred in Spain, one of my administrative assistant's granddaughters asked if that meant they wouldn't be able to take the "L" Downtown anymore. Her grandmother took the time to sit down with her and her sisters and explain what had happened and why we thought it happened. She also took pains in talking with the girls against violence and the need to get along and work together.
Of course, Malkin and friends are not in favor of this because they believe we are educating a bunch of namby-pampy pacifists. The alternative is scisssors, severed spinal cords and more violence.
At the same time, I'm sure that Malkin, Sommers, and Satel must be Christians or at the least moral conservatives. They probably attest that they live by the Ten Commandments. There is one four-word commandment that is to the point and leaves no wiggle-room when it comes to violence: Thou shalt not kill.
Violence inevitably can lead to killing. The Sudan? Rwanda? Palestine? Lebanon? Israel? Colombia? Peru? I have always wondered what would have really happened if the US and USSR had a nuclear war. I have also wondered if it might not have been a good thing. A new beginning. A destruction of all things. No more wondering. The ultimate violence.
I think those of us who grew up under the constant threat of a nuclear holocaust are actually cynical and hopeful at the same time. Cynical that we have no real control and hopeful that there can always be a better tomorrow.
I learned the hopeful part from my father and my uncles. They fought in WWII for peace. They were decorated for their valor and they hated the killing part the most. My uncle never really talked about the things he did in the war. He said they were terrible but that he had to do them because the alternative was very limited and worse. WWII was a defensive war beyond doubt and maybe it is the best example of "justified" murder. They realized that it was necessary.
At the same time my father and uncle talked to me about moving to Canada should I have been drafted for Viet Nam. I never expected that from them. The difference, they said, was they couldn't find a reason that Viet Nam was defending the US and its people. They didn't see it as ineluctable for the US, unlike WWII.
I understand that there are times when defense is necessary. WWII cannot be a better example because of its madness and inhuman atrocities. During the entire campaign only one end was sought - peace. In the end, people decided that they did not want to go through it again and tried to take steps to avoid it.
So at the same time I understand the namby-pamby alternative, I realize that there are times when it may be necessary, but we have seen so much conflict for the last several years and have been given so many contrary explanations as to why they are occurring, it may mean that there could be only one end possible - more violence and conflict. I have no intention of going into whether the hostilities with which the US has been involved for the last years are moral, immoral, right, wrong, justified, unjustified, legal or illegal. Everyone else has been doing that.
I wonder, however, about the indirect effects these actions are having on our children? What lessons are being taught when they hear/see violence as acceptable for every conflict? When they are told by people like Ms. Malkin that they have to "defend" themselves or they may become the victims "...to combat throat-slitting, suicide plane-flying Islamists..." I wonder in what kind of world Malkin's children will be living/fighting twenty years from now?
as usual, just wondering...

But pretty much everywhere else, it is country. Ticket seller Vivid Seats took a look at ticket sale data to find which genres and artists were the most popular by state, and like it or not, Colorado has... Bieber Fever
Overall, America's pick is Garth Brooks, and country/folk dominate a majority of the U.S. when it comes to musical preference. Colorado, however, leaned pop, favoring Justin Bieber over country artists like Brooks, Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan.

Rockers Twenty One Pilots, Rolling Stones and Coldplay were named fan faves, but not for us. Minnesota was the only state to favor hard rock, with Metallica as its top artist.

michael kors official factory store michael kors official factory store Alternative Fuel Car Safety Standards
There are several different types of alternative fuel vehicles available to drivers, certainly more than the number of petroleumbased cars. One of the most wellknown alternative fuels is ethanol, which can power cars using various blends of gasoline. Ethanol fuel is made from corn, and manufacturers can produce it domestically. Biodiesel, on the other hand, is made from animal fats and vegetable oils and usually produces fewer pollutants than regular petroleumbased diesel. Clean natural gas CNG and propane are both naturally available fuels that produce fewer greenhouse gases, and hydrogen fuel cells create zero emissions and have potential as a renewable source. Electric vehicles that get their power from the chemicals inside a battery are also considered alternative fuel vehicles.
The large number of potential alternative fuel vehicles available makes it difficult to come up with any one particular standard along which to compare them, mostly because each fuel gives off emissions in different ways.
One standard thats difficult for many alternative fuel vehicles to meet, regardless of engine type or fuel source, is safety. As manufacturers of new technologies try to shave off as many miles per gallon as possible, engineers take into account more than just the kind of engine or motor an alternative fuel vehicle will use they also consider weight. Heavy, bulky cars and trucks suffer when it comes to emissions standards because they burn more fuel just to carry the extra weight. Lighter, more aerodynamic cars require less fuel for propulsion and therefore will burn less fuel to travel the same distance.
Some alternative fuel vehicles, which tend to be compact in design, might have michael kors official factory store difficulty rating well on crash and safety standards, since small and minisized cars often rate poorly in crash tests. The technology for some designs, like hydrogen fuel cells, is also complicated and requires extensive testing to make sure people are kept safe from dangers like elec michael kors official factory store tric shock and compressed hydrogen hazards.
On top of safety, some alternative fuel vehicles are having trouble with renewable fuel standards, once thought to be the driving point behind their environmental importance. While previous studies have found that ethanol derived from corn produces fewer direct emissions than gasoline, researchers from the University michael kors official factory store of Minnesota published a study stating that corn ethanol is actually more harmful to the environment than gasoline source: Hill. michael kors official factory store | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '14', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9438557624816896}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '19257', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:55Y2PMQKP7VWHKNBX6VFAGXLVVISGH5G', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:11524540-0475-4a28-86fa-104a8ccdc078>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 19, 22, 28, 52), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.27.111.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:456Q6SEYY2F72XMJARSNN2V5MT2THIDW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e4542803-6aa5-4cd2-b0ea-ac32c22f25f6>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.balenciagasale.net/shop-deal-xmas-sale-michael-kors-official-factory-store', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f13860ae-b32e-4620-9417-53cdc7d9eb2e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '451', 'url': 'http://www.balenciagasale.net/shop-deal-xmas-sale-michael-kors-official-factory-store', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-7-214-88.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.5980570912361145', 'original_id': '4b087598f3409a60f0e2a5d72dad2939e9457d3473dbbe31439fe3001e24b4a4'} |
double-entry bookkeeping
Popular Terms
System of keeping accounting records that recognizes the dual nature (source and disposition) of every financial transaction expressed by the basic accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity). In this system, every transaction is entered twice in the account books first, to record a change in the assets' side (called a 'debit') and, second, to mirror that change in the equities' side (called a 'credit'). If all entries are recorded accurately, the account books will 'balance' because the total of debit entries will equal the total of credit entries. Double entry bookkeeping is used universally, except in very small or cash-transactions based firms which use 'single entry bookkeeping.' Invented in the 13th century by Venice merchants, it was formalized by the Italian monk Luca Pacioli (1445-1517) in the 1494 book 'Summa de Arithmetica, Geometrica, Poroportioni et Proportionaltie.'
Use 'double-entry bookkeeping' in a Sentence
We had this system called double-entry bookkeeping that worked really great for us and would continue to be a system we used.

Roleplay to Write: Vicarious Inspiration
I didn’t always think of myself as a writer.
In fact, for a long time, it didn’t even occur to me that it might be a path I’d walk. Which in hindsight is ridiculous because I’ve been writing my whole life.
Once upon a time, I didn’t closet myself in my pleasantly darkened living room with inspirational music and scented wax to set the scene. (Seriously, try writing a forest setting with a pine scented wax melt beside you. You’ll wonder where your burner has been your whole life.)
Instead, I closeted myself in my basement with four of my closest friends, surrounded by stacks of our well-loved books and painstakingly hand-painted miniature versions of ourselves. Our swords and shields were a sharp pencil and a set of dice. Roleplaying was our passion and the outlet for our creativity.
We played everything, from Dungeons and Dragons (3.5 forever) to vampire: the masquerade, to L5R. My group was a little more intense than most, as I have come to learn. We threw ourselves into our characters, embarking on our personal dramas to the sound of rolling dice. Really though, there were multiple times I can remember being moved to tears by a scene I took part in, or watching someone else’s eyes get wibbly. Our characters became extensions of ourselves, and we lived and breathed their lives.
There was one famous scene I remember where myself and another player were on our feet yelling at each other across the table, equally impassioned and certain we were correct. After a few minutes we noticed the room was silent. The storyteller looked at us and asked in a cautious voice, “Er, you guys alright?” We just looked at him like he was crazy. “Of course. Why wouldn’t we be?”
Role-playing was the greatest inspiration of my middling years. But what does this have to do with writing, you might ask.
Well, everything.
With each character I played, I wrote my background, the little blurb about who I was and why I acted as I did. Somehow, every background I wrote ended up longer and more thought out than the last. I still remember my storyteller’s face when I handed him a hundred pages of print.
Backgrounds aside, we started writing short stories about our characters, because they had complexities and thoughts that the game’s events didn’t bring to the surface. We called them drabbles.
Then I tried live action roleplaying. That was a different level of inspiration. Crouching in the trees, the scent of pine sap surrounding us while it poured (literally like the sky opened up. Later, we called it ‘rain mod’), waiting for the signal from the main force to join the attack. We found out later they’d been shouting for us for ten minutes, but we couldn’t hear because of the rain. Oops.
Experiences like that bring life to your words like nothing else. Now, when I write about running through a dark forest in a moonless night, I know what it feels like when you’re desperately on the run, enemies howling at your back. I know what a moonless forest actually looks like, which, for the record, is nothing, because it really is pitch black. I know the disorientation of pulling yourself from the treeline after accidentally running into the foliage, branches catching your clothing and holding you back as you’re trying to run.
I know the surge of excitement when you defeat the villain with your brothers and sisters in arms, realizing you’ve won, despite all odds.
Our weapons might have been foam rather than steel, but after three days in the woods it somehow makes less difference.
Into the Woods…
Finding vicarious inspiration can lead to the most powerful kind of connection to a character. Not only are you giving them life, but you’ve literally walked a day in their footsteps.
In fact, the protagonist of the first book I wrote was a character I played and threw myself into. When the game was done, I wasn’t. So, I gave him a new home and a new life, and I wrote my first novel. (160,000 words of it. *facepalm*)
I think where I’m going with this is that true inspiration comes from experience. How much more meaningful is the dark forest once you’ve stumbled into a couple trees?
So go out, live, play, do things you wouldn’t do. See things (or don’t, in said pitch black woods), and smell things and feel things. Shout with your friends as you charge the enemy forces, then bring that thrill to your pages. If your heart isn’t pounding as you write, you’re doing something wrong.
The words flow easier. The story becomes richer. The characters become real.
Always seek experiential inspiration. If that comes through living vicariously through your character’s steps, so be it. Don’t turn away and call it childish. Embrace it as the source of wisdom it is.
Let the words flow, and storm a couple bases in the process. You won’t regret it, and neither will your readers.

Does Gilt still run good suit sales? I stopped following Gilt after their buys seemed to get progressively worse, but a couple years ago I picked up a CKC suit that feels fantastic and is cut well.
Stylish politicians seem to have died out sometime after 1970.
Those really are great. Grenson?
I think those are a 34" inseam, so I'd need to go up to a 36" which is hard to find in my waist size. Might try 3Sixteen at some point.
This seemed as good a thread to ask this as any: what's the difference between a suit pant and what are more generally "dress" pants, meaning a wool pant not sold as part of a suit? I don't venture into more formal clothing very often (my workplace is a jeans and button-up shirt sort of place) so I don't wear either suits or wool pants very often. Or should I just generally avoid wearing a wool pant without a jacket?
Golfers and frat boys wear polo shirts. Those are your only options.
Probably going to return these, but looking for opinions. Are these cut too skinny for me?
Too fruity?
So is that why traditional Arabic dress includes skinny jeans?

Every business has cybersecurity concerns, but one industry that has been seeing the worst of it and that seems to be the least prepared with data security is healthcare. Recent industry studies and cyberattacks to healthcare organizations, only three months into a new year, raise even more concerns to what steps healthcare organizations are actually taking to secure data.
As you might be aware, the ransomware attack against Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center is no longer the latest healthcare breach highlighted by the news; the ball passes on to the 21st Century Oncology cancer center, who just this month has notified 2.2 million current and former patients that their sensitive data, data such as social security numbers, have been exposed.
That’s a lot of sensitive data in the wrong hands, but what’s even more frightening is the fact that according to a recent report by Ponemon Institute, 13% of organizations in the US don’t know for sure how many attacks they have experienced. If you don’t know if you’ve been attacked, you don’t know what has been lost or taken (by cybercriminals who will use that information in all the wrong ways).
Healthcare security and breaches is not a new topic. From our own experience, as a leading information risk management consulting firm, we’ve found that most community based hospitals have never conducted a security assessment. Additionally, a Trend Micro analysis of 10 years of data breaches found that more than one-fourth of all reported breaches since 2005 came from healthcare organizations. Other past studies have also highlighted the higher monetary value of healthcare data for cybercriminals, not to mention the higher breach costs for healthcare providers.
In addition to healthcare providers being unsure if they have suffered a breach incident or not, nearly 80% of the healthcare organizations in the Ponemon study found that the most common root of attacks against them point to software vulnerabilities that were older than three months old. 75% of them say Web-borne malware was to blame for a security incident suffered; 70% software vulnerabilities less than three months old; 69% was blamed on spear phishing; and lastly, 61% was due to lost or stolen devices.
When you have software vulnerabilities that are older than three months as the top reason for a breach incident, it seems pretty clear that there is a major gap in what healthcare security pros are doing or not doing to meet compliance and the security needs of the facility. Is it that they stop security at compliance requirements or are they oblivious to the fact that old vulnerabilities are a way in for cybercriminals? Or could it be a lack of resources?
There isn’t one answer necessarily, but it is clear that something is wrong when the security executive of a majority of healthcare organizations that suffered security incidents aren’t regularly patching the software they use within their organization. That’s basic data security knowledge. Of course, the communication gap between CIOs, CEOs, and the board doesn’t help and can explain some of the security holes within these organizations. However, and no matter what type of organization we’re talking about, the fact remains that security is important to stay in business and protect sensitive data.
CIOs need to express their concerns and know what they’re doing. CEOs and the board need to ask questions and talk to security consultants or get a second opinion to make sure the person they put in charge of their security is up for the task and doing what needs to be done to close as many vulnerabilities as possible.
Do you know where your security stands or what steps to take to achieve a strong security posture?

Q:
How to handle large deployments using tools like gitlab and docker
How to deploy multiple instances (40+) of the same application with gitlab? (it is a simple tomcat web app)
I want to be able to individually upgrade/downgrade them using web interface.
We already have a working gitlab+docker pipeline that deploys one instance of an app. We are not using k8s yet.
Should we create gitlab environment for each instance? Do we have better options besides gitlab environments?
Update:
Instances (websites) do differ, they have the same codebase but different configuration. Right now the scaling is not a priority, what we really want is to have an interface to add, deploy, upgrade and downgrade websites. I've tried gitlab environmets on a smaller project and it's really awesome when you have like one or two websites, but when you have 10 or more and you have one environment for each website .gitlab-ci.yml grows exponentially.
A:
The documentation shows that you can have 40+ branches with different configurations. You express concern that the configuration becomes large. With a good editor that isn't really a problem. Yet that feels wrong, right?
With git, in general, a repository per independent deployable works better than a single repository holding many independent deployables. So an alternative layout is not 1 repo with 40 branches, but 1+40 repos. That would be 1 repo that builds the latest code and creates releases. Then 40 repos that represent the configuration to deploy a particular release of the code configured for one website. The 40 repos that deploy the code can hold the 40 per-website configurations and a standardised build script that simply downloads the right release of the code to deploy along with the website configuration into the environment.
We use 1+N+M git repos. We have 1 repo that holds the deploy scripts. They are versioned and released. We have N repos that build the different apps into releases. Currently, two php apps and two react apps that work together but are deployed and upgraded independently. Then M repos that represent the environments/sites we deploy into which is currently only staging and live.
We are using k8s (OKD) and the deployment scripts are using helm. That just means that our deployment scripts and environment setup are simpler and rollback/downgrade is fully automated. We don't actually download the app to deploy during our build. Instead, we simply push out the docker registry tag of the version of the code we want to deploy into a given environment.
I started a project to opensource our approach to deploying apps from git which is called OCD. It is still a work in progress but it demonstrates some of the above ideas.

From Jesse’s Café Américain:
Although the nominal US corporate tax rate of 35% seems high, and especially so given all the corporate funded propaganda promoting more tax cuts and givebacks, in fact the realized corporate rates are relatively low both in terms of historical experience and other countries. This is because of the many loopholes, subsidies, and accounting gimmicks available to its corporate citizens from the corporate friendly government.
One could make the case that the tax burden is falling disproportionately on smaller businesses and individuals that do not have the infrastructure and latitude to take advantage of the loopholes available to the bigger business lobby companies.
State and local taxes appear to be regressive. The top echelons of corporations and private individuals seem to be doing rather well for themselves.

LOVE that chart on corporate taxes- the best job program that can be instituted would be to level the playing field on which small/mid-sized domestic partnerships/corps compete with multinational corporations. Perhaps lower tax rate but definitely
That being said, I think you are missing the big picture regarding govt spending; pre-tea party and state-level austerity, total state/local/federal spending was 45% of GDP ( Now we all know that much of the “growth” in the system is fake. So either govt increases it’s role in the form of permanent Keynesian exercise or we deal with the problem in a manner suggested by Charles Hugh Smith, perhaps enduring a- gasp- recession and delaying our I-Phone 10 purchase.
But to compare only Federal taxes to the taxes of a nation like Denmark, which is the size of a small state, is disingenuous. Furthermore, it seems that spending as a % of GDP is a better measure b/c the non-taxed spending has to be borrowed and eventually paid back through taxes (or monetized-> inflation tax).
2. streeteye says:
headline should really be – Corporate tax burden falls disproportionately on small businesses.
It’s trivial for a large company to make US operations lose money, derive all the revenue in foreign tax havens through oddball licensing and royalty agreements, then petition for a tax holiday to bring money home every few years. Not really worth it if you’re a corner store though.
If it was up to me, would abolish the corporate income tax, which is the biggest source of corruption, rent-seeking, lobbying, price distortions leading to ridiculous spending on junkets and T&E, and wasted brains on accounting and tax law.
Just have a VAT, flattish and low income tax, tax capital gains as ordinary income but index it to inflation.
But all the reasons I would abolish it are reasons legislators won’t, since it gives them leverage, plus the average voter assumes someone else must be paying the price.

Time to pay for the $3T in the fear mongering against terror and the $10T spent for unrelated war expenses.
Maybe a $20 a bbl toll for super tankers passing the Straits of Hormuz, secured by the US since 1973. And a $20 a ton toll for all cargo entering US ports because the US keeps the world safe for trade. Then a surcharge on all dividend paid to corporations with war profits.
First war not pay go, now pleads to never be paid back, and cutting SS is the first step.
Love the John Adams quote, only men with property were allowed to vote, the senate was appointed by the states’ legislatures, and liberty is not the same as freedom, nor all men created equal.
The oligarchs forgot the “all men are created equal” immediately after the all men with no property did most of the fighting to replace King George and the British parliament with a propertied oligarchy.
The founders are no one to hold up as example.
4. blueoysterjoe says:
Believe me, I buy what you’re selling. I think actual corporate tax rates are too low.
But one thing does make me scratch my head about this picture, and I know jack-all about economics, so I thought I would ask you.
If, overnight, corporate tax rates doubled, wouldn’t that affect individual tax liability insofar as the corporations aren’t able to pay their employees more because they have to pay more tax? Would employees not pay as much in taxes basically because they’re not getting paid as much salary? That hardly seems like a rosy situation either…
Again, I realize I may sound like someone in the Grover Norquist camp, but I’m not, honestly. It’s a genuine question out of ignorance, not ideology.
5. Yossarian says:
Streeteye hit the nail on the head- with the VAT+ Flat tax+ Cap Gains tax equal to income tax (yet adjusted for inflation). However not sure I agree with no Corp tax- shouldn’t corps pay for the right to be bankruptcy remote? Or, absent a corp tax, would that be factored into their cost of capital?
Anyway, the tax debate shouldn’t be framed as a rich poor thing as much as productive people subsidizing unproductive people, rich and poor. The biz owner who working 12 hrs a day, 360 days a year is right to resent being milked to pay for bloated budgets just as the bus driver making $40K is right to resent the bailed out investment banker making profits offshore.

Eliminate corporate taxes. Implement a value-added-tax on goods and services.
7. Permabear says:
It is amazing to me how distorted the debate is in the American financial media. If you listen to most financial shows, you would think that corporate taxes are confiscatory. After all, as we are endlessly told ad nauseum, the U.S. has the second highest corporate taxes in the world at 35 percent. The problem is, as the commentary above elucidates, a large percentage of corporations pay little if any tax at all due to all the deductions and accounting tricks and the effective tax rate is actually very modest. There are many reasons why the national debt is such a problem today. My view is that Americans at all income levels are not paying enough taxes. Eliminating all the Bush tax cuts would go a long way to eliminating our debt problems going forward. As far as corporations go, I wouldn’t have a problem lowering the corporate tax rate, as long as all deductions and accounting tricks were eliminated, leading to a substantial increase in overall corporate tax contributions. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '70', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.961453914642334}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '68240', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ZHQT654RNZZ3C6MAMDU4UAS3QDPYIZOH', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:e2d8b993-9f39-4587-b315-364950d50cb9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 22, 3, 48, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '108.174.155.144', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:HHUHTCCP6T7JBMJ2RKEUZRJ33PGEQ4DD', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f7b294ba-5373-4c30-8310-7dd879a9292c>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/07/the-us-tax-burden-falls-disproportionately-on-individuals-and-small-business/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:014c2a0f-62fc-49ce-9bbb-2fa3a8284ace>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '1143', 'url': 'http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/07/the-us-tax-burden-falls-disproportionately-on-individuals-and-small-business/', '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': '0.1826503872871399', 'original_id': '4c8f92b277f4330be43cf794e7efc311087cfa994df9c5b0192419ec8fec8312'} |
NIH researchers have recently announced the isolation of a human B-lymphotropic virus (HBLV) from six individuals with various lymphoproliferative and immune disorders. HBLV appears to belong to the group of human herpes viruses and may be associated with B-lymphoproliferative disorders. Serological tests using indirect immunofluorescence methods revealed that only 4 of 220 random healthy blood donors were seropositive for HBLV antibodies. An ELISA-based assay for HBLV antibody detection would facilitate further study of the prevalence of infection with this virus and the relation of infection to human disease. So far, however, HBLV has not been seen to be infectious for any cells other than fresh B-lymphocytes. In this proposal, the investigators present their plan for using HBLV cultured in B-lymphocytes obtained from umbilical cords to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an ELISA-based test kit for HBLV antibody detection. They also discuss their plans for establishing a cell culture system other than fresh B-lymphocytes for virus proliferation, so that tests can be produced on a commercial scale. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '17f2ce57ede1c220db40d6c4b767f254397e94c9b305d2814cb7863a46a22fe2'} |

Paramacharya Chandrashekarendra Saraswati: God, Women and Languages
Late Paramachariya (Chandrasekaraendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Mutt) is considered by the devotees of Kanchi Mutt as the most respected great Hindu saint of the last century. His devotees belong to all sections of society although mostly the Tamil Brahmins celebrate him . He is said to be respected even by non-believers. His ‘words of wisdom’ are collected in the Tamil book “Deivaththin kural” (Divine Voice). He is promoted as the unmatched god man of the people from Tamilnadu and other regions.
But it is interesting to note his view point on languages other than Sanskrit, specifically Tamil. I read a narration by Agnihothram Ramanuja thathachariyar in his book “Hindu matham enge pokirathu” (Hindu relegion – Where towards?). Thathachariya was once a close aid of Paramachariya. He used to have discussions with Paramacharya only in sanskrit, because Sankarachariya normally spoke in Sanskrit. I am interested to share my reading with our friends.
One evening Mr. Arunachalam of Chettinadu visited Kanchi mutt. Mr. Arunachalam was an industrialist and such rich people normally commanded respect at Kanchi Mutt. He wanted to have the blessings of Paramacharya and he requested Mr. Thathacharia to arrange for a dharshan. By that time Paramacharya had completed his daily dharshan to the public and finished his bath. He was preparing for conducting the evening rituals. Mr. Thathachriya informed Paramacharya about the visit of Mr. Arunachalam.Paramacharya told Thathachariya that he could not meet Arunchalam because he had taken bath and that he would have to take again if he had to meet Mr. Arunachalam, and therefore instructed Thathachariaya to inform Arunachalam that Swamiji was observing silence (mouna viratha) and hence he could not meet anybody. Paramacharya was strictly following one practice; between each puja, if he happened to talk in Tamil, he would take bath to wash out the sin. What was the sin? According to him speaking in Tamil was a sin because the language was non-divine (neecha bashai). By this witness Thathacharya we can conclude that Paramacharya resorted to speak a soft lie to avoid speaking in Tamil to stick to his orthodox practice. The lie may be with an intention of not to offend the feelings of a rich Tamil man who could donate money for the mutt.
There is another interesting anecdote about Paramacharya in the same book. When Jawaharlal Nehru decided to bring a law to grant property rights to Hindu women, Paramacharya vehemently opposed that idea . The reason told by Acharya was that as per Manu Smiruthi women were barred from holding property. It can also be recalled that the tactics of ‘mouna viratha’ was practiced once by Paramacharya when Indira Gandhi wished to meet him. The venue of the meeting was a “well” on either side of which Paramacharya and Indira Gandhi were present. Paramacharya only listened to Gandhi at that time and did not even see her. Reason? Mrs. Gandhi was a widow! However there were instances when he could say some words to Mrs. Gandhi too. Perhaps it should be time bound poojas of orthodox rituals which prevented to speak in Tamil or to a woman or a widow!
Kanchi mutt is now led by jeyendra saraswati a supporter of untouchability and alleged in murder case
But we cannot say that Paramacharya followed orthodox ways strictly. For example, when his deputy Jeyendra saraswathi deserted the mutt he initially refused to take him back on his return citing that Jeyendra missed the poojas of Saturmasya vrata. But he relaxed and accommodated Jeyendra after learning that the Kanch Kamatchi amman temple could be taken over by the Government according to the rules if the trustee was dead without appointing another member or went mad or missing. Jeyendra was the trustee for that revenue earning temple!
The Hindu religion as constructed in the last century is a conglomeration of innumerable number of ideas, practices and rituals. The virtue for guiding the life of an individual should be the essence of any religion in practice and philosophy. Many outdated fundamentalist theories such as Manu Dharma and practices are still followed by Hindu Mutts and the godmen. This is regrettable. They are expected to change according to the times in favour of equality of people and their languages. Christianity spreads by serving sermons in Tamil and if Sanskrit is insisted still in Poojas it will not serve the Hindu religion in the long run.
A Christian Father Jagath Kaspar arranged for releasing Hindu religious book Thiruvasagam audio by Ilayaraja . He organises annual festival Sangamam for Tamil folk and classical performances with music and dance. But our orthodox Hindu brothers seek Sanskrit in Puja, castes among priests, Telugu in music, Hindi in Central jobs, English for software and wish to give the last place to Tamil. How can we we claim to be an egalitarian and fair society. They/We need to think about this.

1. I think Mr. Ramky over concerning about Tamil and Indira Gandhi
Mr. Ramky you don’t need to bother either one of these issues
B/c Tamil is a oldest language which is guiding and teaching survival lessons other regional languages (Including Hindi)
Instead of writing these articles you can try to widen the legacy of Tamil
Coming to Mrs. Gandhi she was quite comfortable with paramacharya (The way he treated her).
That’s the reason why she pick out HAND SYMBOL (left hand by which she was blessed) for her party for reference you can go through the congress(I) symbol.
My sincere advice to the other pals (Who commented In this article) Please try to dig out the truth but don’t believe upon these base less articles.
2. Mr. Ramki
Stop practicing this kind of speculations it seems all these gimmicks b/c
for money or to satisfy your beloved Cristian missionaries.
If you need money we will raise some funds and transfer it to you, for the sake of money you don’t need to bow or touch the feet of other religions.
3. Bullshit article.. should be deleted.. it is giving all fase information and completely against the truth. The aim of this ariticle seems to be targetting the common people to divert from Basic Hinduism and especially Kanchi peetham and convert them as Athests or to other religions.
4. Dear sir, I think the author is disillusioned and does not get his facts correct. There was no need for paramacharyal to please any one and support any language or degrade any language. His immense contribution to Tamil spiritual literature is known to the entire world, He was instrumental in propagating Tevaram and have it sung in temples! those who start commenting about these are in no way capable in language so that they can sit in judgement. Secondly about Thathacharya who used to be a devotee of the seer, turned to be a person against whom there were many allegations even by people from other community. May be his old age was the reason for the utterances that were in coherent ! This is a mere posturing without any fore thought! Please avoid mud slinging and stop passing disparaging remarks without substance.
5. sir, this is completely absurd and Mala-fide. I couldn’t hesitate a wrong news like this. There is no citation that these thaathaachaariaar was having sanskrit converstion with periyava. By himself – thathaacaaria a traitor – purchase by some athiest and none of his words are true. Paramaachaariaas, global thinking and liking towards not only hindus and also other religion people is well know.a meeting with kaily manufacturer is an ampoul example. He has greeted one of his sippanthi’s son for getting first mark in Tamil ( I hope his name is ragunaathan)
6. why all a sudeen u brought jagath gasper in the article??? this article is a pure christian missionary tactic. just to make hindus hate their religion. wow now jagath gasper is allegedly involved in hawala money. i can also write articles that missionary jagath gasper as abusing young gals. in many churches the fathers are pedophiles…. STOP THIS CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY PROPAGANDA IN UR ARTICLES. PURELY CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY ARTICLE,JUST TO BRING DOWN HINDUS FROM THEIR CULTURE. TAMIL NADU IS UNDER THREAT FROM CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY ZEALOTS. ITS TIME FOR HINDUS IN TAMIL NADU TO WAKE UP. THIS ARTICLE U MADE PARAMACHARYA A VILLIAN AND FINALLY SHOWING THE GREATNES OF JAGATH GASPER?????
7. May the walking God (Paramacharya) forgive you!
8. I know several people who have interacted with Paramacharya in Tamil at various times. Never ever heard of such a thing as mentioned in this article. Since he is not there today to defend himself, you can write anything about him – in the name of freedom.
9. REMOVE the pictures it gives a bad vibration ………….
PUT your pictures and experiences/research
your achievements and culture…………
any body can put the pictures ……….
you cannot put age old people(who are no more) to get a publicity for your baseless argument.
10. Dear Author,
what is the basis of this trigger???
Did you personally had any bad experience with him or its the research you have done with the concept of NOT LIKING this person digging all the bad stuffs or the negative part……..
GROW UP people we have so much so solve and HINDU culture is just vanishing, these silly arguments would harm more than do any thing good,
post some thing useful which all the youths can follow………..
NOTE: its my opinion don’t dare to trigger the argument more……. please also post the greater experiences of living people……. if you dare to do with the concept of liking this person
11. அன்புள்ள அபிஷேக் அவர்களுக்கு,
மொழி என்பது நமது எண்ணத்தை மற்றவர்களுக்கு புரியவைப்பது,
புரியக்கூடிய மொழியுள் அதை கேற்பவர்களுக்கு சொல்வது.
As we believe god is the creator of all, Hence it includes Tamil also.
It is unfortunate that this guy (Paramachariya) lacks in understanding the basics.
12. Dear Kumresh,
Pls read (understand) my entire post, you will figure of answers for all your questions..I felt this place is only for like minded individuals..which i am not part of..
13. Abhishek – please answer to the point.
I believe in god. Also I believe- between me and God – no third person is allowed.
I believe I can pray to the god in any language – or no language too in some circumstances.
My concern is Why Sanskrit alone a primary language? Why not others?
1. Why he (Paramachariya) needed spectacles when he had divine strength?
14. Its a one’s choice to either to trust a person or not….If a particular aspect is good for someone he accepts,it may not be the same for another. I am not the latter in this case….
Also i would like to mention Hinduism has had 2 philosophical schools
~Nasthika is one who doesn’t accept the authority of vedas…
~asthika is one who does..
Adi Shankara settled in Kanchipuram after establishing four Āmnāya maţhas in the four corners of India and that this gave rise to the Kanchi maţha & is a great development. The followers have kept up the tradition.
Kanchi mutt follows authority of vedas…so its asthika in nature..Hence Sanskrit becomes primary language..
If you trying to fight for language,pls do it elsewhere..
Nasthikas have a large representation today & modern science has added more fuel creating confusion & more doubts among the young.
Its best to choose ones path but never mislead.Criticizing something above our understandability(beyond our perception) is really not worth it.
PS: You need not agree to my comments…No worries since you must feel correct from your point of view..& never regret your decisions..

Why he (Paramachariya) needed a spectacle when he had divine strength?
-Kommu S V Dakshinamurthy
Stop spreading “worthless Parrot (Bird flu) story”. Instead read and spread the Science and Medicine.
Good article. But you made one mistake.
Please remove the above photo. This man (Paramachariya) is UNFIT to stand in front of the beautiful Tamil sentence “God’s voices”.
16. Ramki well written article. Excellent. Keep up the good work.
First I don’t believe in human god or god messenger.
Since I read this guy name “Paramachariya (Chandrasekaraendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Mutt)” – I am thinking of taking three baths to wash the sin.
If Tamil is non-divine language
Why did he live in Tamil soil and why did he inhale the same air – several thousand Tamils who used it every day?
Did he put any filter in his nose?
17. A story will help the Author understand the basics:
Once Kalidas and his contemporary poets decided to edit the Sastras as they found some grammar mistakes. Once they assembled to do the corrections, a parrot came and said NAVA NAVA PANCHA PANCHA( 9-9-5-5). They took it as a bad omen and reassembled after a few days and the same parrot did the same again. after a couple of times, they did namaskar to the Parrot ( They had the qualities to inquire ) and asked the parrot, why it is saying NAVA NAVA Pancha Pancha.
Vyasa appeared in place of parrot and told them that when the sastras were made, there are nine (NAVA) grammars and the group was aware of only 5 ( Pancha) grammars. So, they should stop such exercise and should learn the grammars.
Mr, Author, please focus on understanding the Paramacharya, instead of commenting on what he did, without proper proofs or understanding. That will transform your life. The followers of Paramacharya may not spend their time explaining you basics. They will spend their time in progress.
18. Abisek
Half knowledge is dangerous – it is for me or to you?
Manu smirthi may have some good points, because of it we cannot totally accept it. Bhagavat githa also contains some objectionable slokas wounding the feelings of the majority Hindus. But it is projected as a holy book. Many people like you are quoting the better side of our holy books and criticize others who quote the negative side.
Abishek why dont you write your divine experince by following manu dharma? I am waiting
19. Dear Ramki,
It is very interesting to know that, unfortunately many people could not meet Paramacharya due to stern discipline adopted by him which is very much a minimum requirement for a man being a pontiff.
Let me give you a general example wherein every policeman irrespective guilty or not guilty sees any suspect in a dubiety because he is trained and serves best in such a behavior. This notion was followed by every law in ancient or medieval or modern, since some things cannot change even society changes. Hence referring to Paramacharya, Sri is doing the same. Although you may call it injustice since he could not meet people, on the other hand he has performed the duty he is supposed to do.
I wont comment on tamil part,since i have only met “Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswati Swamigal” & Sri speaks many Indian Languages.I know this because i was part of a group where people belonged to different states.
I dont want delve too much & trigger an argument, just want to say 2 things,
“Every thing depends on how you receive it”. & “Half knowledge is very dangerous”..
because unless you experience the positive impacts by following “Manu smriti”..i dont think anyone should point a finger on it..
“TruthDive” is a very nice portal. Why didnt ever one desired to start researching & publishing his/her experiences by following the manu dharma , since if followed only one can experience it. “true/untrue”you can decide later.
Abhishek Subramanya
20. Oops. I had some respect left for him. Alas!
Most of the Hindu mutts stopped working for people & Tamil language – they are now being run with the properties they amassed over the centuries. There should be a cap for these properties – when seers become wealth managers, where is spiritualism or humanism there ?
21. Ramki,
An eye-opening article..I have read writer Sujatha disappointed with him, because he refused to see his widows mom..There is so much unexplained concepts in eastern philosophies..U of Wisconsin at Madison is opening the science and benefits behind Meditation primarily Tibetian budhists..I think somewhere down the lane we started expecting the practioners to be gods themselves, rather than appreciating the benefits of the practices..
Look forward to more articles..

Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies
Survival Clothing For Outdoor EmergenciesMaybe you don’t need to learn about survival clothing. Maybe you always hike with a spare jacket. Perhaps you never go out into the wilderness overnight, but just for day hikes. Or you bring lots of warm clothing when you do go backpacking. This post is about Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies, something we should all know about.
Coming down from Mount Whitney I met several young men in t-shirts on their way up, determined to get to the top. They had no gear and not enough time, but they probably made it there by sunset anyhow. They also certainly didn’t make it the eleven miles back to their car before dark. It was below freezing that night, so I imagine they were uncomfortable at best. They were not prepared, with Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies
Quick Survival Clothing
What survival clothing could they have made in that situation? One of them did have a light jacket. He could have used his t-shirt as a hat (a lot of heat is lost through the head) and filled his jacket with the fluff from the cattail seed heads for insulation. (Cattail down was once used to fill those old orange life preservers.)
Insulation is an important principle here. You can stuff a jacket, shirt, sweater or pants with dry leaves, milkweed down, bracken ferns, or almost anything that creates a lot of “dead airspace.” It’s better if you have two layers to sandwich it between, but being itchy is better than being frozen in any case. this is really what we mean when discussing Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies.
Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies
Usually, you’ll do better to look first at what you have, before looking to kill animals for their skins or weave grass skirts. If you have a sleeping bag, it can double as a coat – just wrap it around you. Socks can be mittens, and garbage bags can be made into snow pants.
A garbage bag can also be a raincoat. Otherwise, tie bunches of grass tightly together along a string or strip of cloth, and then wrap it around your shoulders. This will repel light rain. You can fashion a rain hood of birch bark as well.

\begin{theorem}
Let $x \in \R$ be a real number such that $x > 0$.
Let $n \in \Z$ be an integer such that $n > 0$.
Then there exists a $y \in \R: y \ge 0$ such that $y^n = x$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Let $f$ be the real function defined on the unbounded closed interval $\hointr 0 \to$ defined by $\map f y = y^n$.
Consider first the case of $n > 0$.
By Strictly Positive Integer Power Function is Unbounded Above:
:$\exists q \in \R_{>0}: \map f q \ge x$
Since $x \ge 0$:
:$\map f 0 \le x$
By the Intermediate Value Theorem:
:$\exists y \in \R: 0 \le y \le q, \map f y = x$
Hence the result has been shown to hold for $n > 0$.

Ask any cigar aficionado what the best on the market is and they’ll give you the same answer: Cuban cigars. Cigars from Cuba are renowned for their world-class quality, but if you’re new to the cigar world, then you might feel intimidated when discussing the elite. Now that Barack Obama lifted the Cuban embargo established by John Kennedy in the 60’s, the cigars are again legal in the U.S. So, what are the basics every gentleman needs to know about these famous stogies?
When purchasing Cubans, you need to be cautious of getting ripped off. Many sellers will false-advertise what they’re selling, which makes it increasingly difficult if you’re new to the scene. To avoid getting screwed, you need to purchase the cigars directly from Cuba when traveling abroad. There’s no better way to guarantee the quality of the product than to buy directly from the country of origin. Cuban cigars are sold outside of Cuba, but you run the risk of buying a product that isn’t what you thought it was. Sadly, you can’t buy online from any reputable dealer yet, so don’t expect Amazon to be stocking up. Expect to pay up to $50 per cigar at the most elite level, which is difficult to deal with the $100 limit upon customs.
Guillotine cutters are the best way to get a clean, accurate cut, regardless of brand. When cutting the cigar, if you want a lot of smoke, make a large hole. If you want to be patient with your expensive cigar, then you might want a smaller hole to smoke from. When lighting, slowly revolve the cigar over the flame to ensure an even burn. You don’t want it to start running or burning unevenly, so take your time. Remember how special these cigars are, so if you need to practice, use a cheaper option.
Cuban cigars are infamous for their involvement in U.S. politics, but they will always have a place in the hearts of cigar connoisseurs. If you’re new to the party, you don’t have to feel intimidated by the caliber of cigars that Cuba produces. Just remember, there are people out there willing to scam the newbies, so keep a keen eye.

GP Patient Data
1 Introduction
Go to functional design
The input document "Richtlijn online inzage in het H-EPD door patiënt" (Dutch) described online access of GP data by patients. The use case evolves around a GP specific Patient Data that consists of 10 sections plus the patient and the healthcare provider (GP). These sections correspond to the "HIS referentiemodel Publieksversie 2016" (Dutch). HIS referentiemodel is the GP information system reference model (GP-IS-RM).
Some but not all sections in the GP Patient Data correspond to Health and Care Information Models (HCIMs (English) or zibs (Dutch)). A joint initiative project between Nictiz and the Dutch GP association NHG is underway to analyse the relationship between the GP-IS-RM and the HCIMs and propose updates where needed. This analysis will not yield results before 2019. This specification thus predates the analysis, and will updated accordingly moving forward.
This page will elaborate further on the HL7 FHIR details needed to exchange the GP Patient Data information using FHIR.

Patient The user of a personal healthcare enviorment. PHR Personal health record Verwijzing.png CapabilityStatement: Client GP Patient Data client requirements
Healthcare professional The user of a XIS XIS Healthcare information system Verwijzing.png CapabilityStatement: Server GP Patient Data server requirements
3 Boundaries and Relationships
The GP Patient Data use case has similarities and differences with other use cases such as the BgZ, Medication Process, Vital Signs and Lab Results. These use cases use much of the same HCIM based FHIR profiles for exchanging information. Wherever possible every attempt is made to re-use the profiles as used in the BgZ. The GP Patient Data also has a few unique profiles compared to the aforementioned use cases. A second thing to note is that while the selection criteria of certain sections like lab do not match, this does not affect the response profiles. For example it is irrelevant for the response profile lab if you request the 'latest lab result' or 'every result since date X'.
4 List of invocations
Go to Afsprakenstelsel
This FHIR implementation guide assumes that the PHR system is able to make a connection to the XIS that contains the GP Patient Data information. It does not provide information on finding the right XIS nor does it provide information about security. These infrastructure and interface specifications are described in the 'Afsprakenstelsel'.
4.1 Client - PHR
The PHR system can request the GP Patient Data using individual search interactions. The search interaction searches the current resources based on some filter criteria. The interaction can be performed by an HTTP GET or command as shown:
The table below shows in the first four columns the GP Patient Data sections, the GP-IS-RM sections / HCIMs that constitute those sections and the specific content of the GP Patient Data. The last column shows the FHIR search queries to obtain the GP Patient Data information. These queries are based on StructureDefinitions listed in this section. As noted in the introduction, the associated HCIMs are ahead of a separate joint initiative project that aims to analyse and harmonize this further.
Each query is performed in the context of a specific authenticated patient, for which an OAuth2 token has been retrieved using the Authentication mechanisms described in the 'Afsprakenstelsel'. This token must be passed in each call in the HTTP header named “Authorization”. Each XIS Gateway is required to perform filtering based on the patient associated with the OAuth2 token received for the request, so that only the records associated with the authenticated patient are returned. Therefore, no search parameters should be passed for patient identification.

8 Current medication MedicationAgreement v1.0 (2017) MedicationAgreement
The prescriber proposed use of medication that the patient agrees with. The agreement may signal starting, repeating, updating or stopping the medication. The list of MedicationAgreements is also known as the list of medication the patient is currently using. Note that current means that the period of use is still active. This is conveyed in the MedicationRequest.extension periodOfUse. This may or may not me populated. If it is not, the Medicationagreement is assumed to be current. The search parameter allows filtering for current medicationagreements

Search result parameters:
* This SearchParameter searches on the FHIR DataType Period in the PeriodOfUse extension, which is added to profiles on MedicationRequest and MedicationDispense resources. Clients use date parameter searches as described by the FHIR specification. Servers are expected to take the MedicationUse-Duration extension into account when processing a client's search. This means that either a Period.start + Period.end or Period.start + Duration is used to determine the search results. To illustrate the expected behavior: if a Period.start and a Duration is known, but not the Period, the Duration should be added to the Period.start date to calculate the Period.end. The calculated Period.end date is then used to determine the search results.
6 List of StructureDefinitions
The profiles represent their entire respective HCIM, to make them applicable in a broader context than the exchange of GP Patient Data or a MedMij context. An example for reuse of existing profiles are those of the patient administration resources and vital signs.

Ask Phoenix: Choosing Your Craft Name
If you’ve been following this
column, you’ve probably noticed a not-so-subtle change. I have taken a
new Craft name, Phoenix. So, what prompted the change and what does it
mean? Why a “fake” name at all?
Taking a magickal name isn’t
necessary to being a good witch, but many witches do have magickal
names. As you know, names hold power. When someone knows your name they
can learn information about you, for good or ill. You also go by many
different names depending on who is addressing you. While someone might
be “Samantha” to her mother, she might also be “Ms. Smith” to strangers
or folks very much younger than herself, and “Sam” to her friends. Each
name carries a different connotation and gives you hints as to how
someone is relating to you and how you should act.
Magickal names are no different.
Since very few individuals are raised Pagan or Wiccan, they usually
undergo a process of spiritual rebirth. Dedication and Initiation in
many Wiccan traditions are ceremonies to mark rites of passage in a
young witch’s life. A new name accompanies this birth of the new self.
Some Wiccans take two names when they are initiated — a public name
and a private name. The first is the name that you will go by in ritual
and among friends. The second is a name known only to you and your
patron deities ,and possibly to other coven members, only to be used
within sacred space.
Magickal names are usually chosen
by the individual for their personal meaning. Some may take a goddess
name, others choose the name of a fictional character they have
admired, still others look to nature for terms that embody traits they
posess or wish to exhibit. Naturally, take care when choosing a name.
Just as you would when naming a new baby, be mindful of how the name
sounds, what negative connotations it might posess, whether it lends
strength to you or whether it distracts or detracts from who you want
to be in the community. There’s a reason jokes are made about pagan
names like “Lady Tulip Moondrip” — it’s hard to take a name like that,
or the person using it, very seriously.
Magickal names also serve as a
psychic and psychological trigger. When someone addresses you by your
magickal name, you know that you should probably be in a spiritual
frame of mind, or the other individual knows you through your religious
affiliation. Chanting the magickal names of members is a good way for
coven members to feel bonded to each other and to raise power that
strengthens their connection. And referring to yourself by your
magickal name serves to remind you of your path and why you chose it.
So what’s my story? When I began
learning about the Craft, one of the things I read about was taking a
magickal name. I chose the name of one of my favorite birds, the
sparrow. As it happened, I was a meek, timid person, so the name of a
very small bird fit. When I began preparing for my first degree
initiation, my coven priestess suggested I look for a new name, as
“Sparrow” no longer fit. She was absolutely right. Over those three
years, I had broken out of my timid shell and become much a more fiery
individual. At the same time, I seem to be constantly reinventing
myself by virtue of necessity. A friend suggested “Phoenix” to me and
it felt right to me.
I’ve found that the more I
research about the phoenix, the more I realize that it suits me.
Learning about the origin of your magickal name or its symbolic history
can also make that name more meaningful for you. And you may find that
the more you learn about your name, the more suprises you find about
your desires, strengths and purpose.
The process of choosing a
magickal name can sometimes be a difficult task. Don’t be afraid to use
conventional methods, either — your magickal name can be the mundane
name you always wanted or one that has an appropriate meaning from the
language where it originated. Do as much research as possible and make
the process an additional facet of your spiritual growth. You may find
that you not only gain a new name, but a stronger tie to a particular
pantheon or tradition, a new connection to nature, and deeper knowledge
of yourself.
Phoenix is a Wiccan living in
East Central Illinois, where there’s a surprisingly strong Pagan
wonderful individuals in town and in the circle she works with.

Chapter One
September 4
Dear Diary,
Something awful is going to happen today.
I don't know why I wrote that. It's crazy. There'sno reason for me to be upset and every reason for me to be happy, but...
But here I am at 5:30 in the morning, awake and scared. I keep telling myself it's just that I'm all messed up from the time difference between France and here. But that doesn't explain why I feel so scared. So lost.
The day before yesterday, while Aunt Judith and Margaret and I were driving back from the airport, I had such a strange feeling. When we turned onto our street I suddenly thought, "Mom and Dad are waiting for us at home. I bet they'll be on the front porch or in the living room looking out the window. They must have missed me so much."
I know. That sounds totally crazy.
But even when I saw the house and the empty front porch I still felt that way. I ran up the steps and I tried the door and knocked with the knocker. And when Aunt Judith unlocked the door I burst inside and just stood in the hallway listening, expecting to hear Mom coming down the stairs or Dad calling from the den.
Just then Aunt Judith let a suitcase crash down on the floor behind me and sighed a huge sigh and said, "We're home." And Margaret laughed. And the most horrible feeling I've ever felt in my life came over me. I've never felt so utterly and completely lost.
Home. I'm home. Why does that sound like a he?
I was born here in Fell's Church. I've always lived in this house, always. This is my same old bedroom, with the scorch mark on the floorboards where Caroline and I tried to sneak cigarettes in 5th grade and nearly choked ourselves. I can look out the window and see the big quince tree Matt and the guys climbed up to crash my birthday slumber party two years ago. This is my bed, my chair, my dresser.
But right now everything looks strange to me, as if I don't belong here. It's me that's out of place. And the worst thing is that I feel there's somewhere I do belong, but I just can't find it.
I was too tired yesterday to go to Orientation.
Meredith picked up my schedule for me, but I didn't feel like talking to her on the phone. Aunt Judith told everyone who called that I had jet lag and was sleeping, but she watched me at dinner with a funny look on her face.
I've got to see the crowd today, though. We're supposed to meet in the parking lot before school. Is that why I'm scared? Am I frightened of them?
Elena Gilbert stopped writing. She stared at the last line she had written and then shook her head, pen hovering over the small book with the blue velvet cover. Then, with a sudden gesture, she lifted her head and threw pen and book at the big bay window, where they bounced off harmlessly and landed on the upholstered window seat.
It was all so completely ridiculous.
Since when had she, Elena Gilbert, been scared of meeting people? Since when had she been scared of anything ? She stood up and angrily thrust her arms into a red silk kimono. She didn't even glance at the elaborate Victorian mirror above the cherrywood dresser; she knew what she'd see. Elena Gilbert, cool and blond and slender, the fashion trendsetter, the high school senior, the girl every boy wanted and every girl wanted to be. Who just now had an unaccustomed scowl on her face and a pinch to her mouth.
A hot bath and some coffee and I'll calm down, she thought. The morning ritual of washing and dressing was soothing, and she dawdled over it, sorting through her new outfits from Paris. She finally chose a pale rose top and white linen shorts combo that made her look like a raspberry sundae. Good enough to eat, she thought, and the mirror showed a girl with a secret smile. Her earlier fears had melted away, forgotten.
"Elena! Where are you? You're going to be late for school!" The voice drifted faintly up from below.
Elena ran the brush one more time through silky hair and pulled it back with a deep rose ribbon. Then she grabbed her backpack and went down the stairs.
In the kitchen, four-year-old Margaret was eating cereal at the kitchen table, and Aunt Judith was burning something on the stove. Aunt Judith was the sort of woman who always looked vaguely flustered; she had a thin, mild face and light flyaway hair pushed back untidily. Elena landed a peck on her cheek.
"Good morning, everybody. Sorry I don't have time for breakfast."
"But, Elena, you can't just go off without eating. You need your protein-"
"I'll get a doughnut before school," said Elena briskly. She dropped a kiss on Margaret's tow head and turned to go.
"But, Elena-" "And I'll probably go home with Bonnie or Meredith after school, so don't wait dinner. Bye!"
Elena was already at the front door. She closed it behind her, cutting off Aunt Judith's distant protests, and stepped out onto the front porch.
And stopped.
All the bad feelings of the morning rushed over her again. The anxiety, the fear. And the certainty that something terrible was about to happen.
Maple Street was deserted. The tall Victorian houses looked strange and silent, as if they might all be empty inside, like the houses on an abandoned movie set. They looked as if they were empty ofpeople , but full of strange watching things.
That was it; something was watching her. The sky overhead was not blue but milky and opaque, like a giant bowl turned upside down.
The air was stifling, and Elena felt sure that there were eyes on her.
She caught sight of something dark in the branches of the old quince tree in front of the house.
It was a crow, sitting as still as the yellow-tinged leaves around it. And it was the thing watching her.

The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill is considered a key step toward increasing the presence of formal pension or social security plans in India.
As India’s winter session of Parliament kicked off to a disorderly start on Thursday, here is the fourth of our fact sheet on key bills that lawmakers are likely to consider for approval.
Name: The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill
Aim: It aims to officially create a regulator for India’s pension sector. It would allow foreign companies to invest up to 49% in companies that manage pension assets in India.
Why it’s important: The bill is considered a key step toward increasing the presence of formal pension or social security plans in India. Less than 12% of India’s active workforce has a formal pension or social security plan, while India’s vast population of daily-wage workers in sectors including agriculture and construction, rarely have any pension cover.
At the same time, India’s elderly population — those above 60 years of age–is expanding rapidly.
In light of this, the Indian government wants to help develop pension programs where individuals can save money for their retirement.
What changes: The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority was created in 2003 as a regulator for pension assets, but wasn’t given any powers. The bill, if passed, would legally empower it to make rules for this sector, including for fund companies which manage pension assets.
Also, until now foreign companies can’t be a part of pension fund companies, but the new rule would allow them part ownership.
Who it would affect: If the bill is approved, the pension regulator would oversee the New Pension Scheme, which became effective in 2004. Under the plan, central and state government employees that joined service after 2004 contribute a part of their salary to this program, which is matched partly by the government. The funds thus collected by the National Pension Scheme are managed by asset-management companies, who in turn invest it in a combination of stocks and bonds. The goal of the scheme is to make this money grow until the pensioner retires and draws on his or her savings in the pension plan.
This system is different from the previous government pension plans, which fall into defined-benefits category–where pension was guaranteed as a set percentage of the most recent salary received by the employee.
The National Pension Scheme is available to non-government employees, who want to voluntarily save for their retirement. In their case, contributions are not be matched by their employers or the government.
The pension fund regulator would determine rules for asset management companies which manage the money held in the pension program. The rules would deal with a selection of intermediaries, fund management charges and capping investment exposure to various investments such as stocks and debt securities.
The regulator would also oversee foreign investment in the sector.
Opposition: Some opposition parties are against allowing foreign participation in pension fund management, while others are skeptical about investing pension fund assets into stocks. Mamata Banerjee, chairperson of Trinamool Congress, a regional party formerly allied to the Congress party-led government, said last month that investing pension funds into stock markets could wipe out people’s savings.
What next? This bill was first introduced in Parliament in 2005, but the government failed to garner lawmakers’ support to approve it, and it lapsed at discussion stage following the dissolution of the parliament. The bill was reintroduced in 2011. The current draft of the bill includes some suggestions made by the a special committee of lawmakers and also the cabinet’s recent decisions related to increasing foreign investment limit. However, it is likely to face strong opposition from members of parliament once again.

When we speak about any sports event, generally one of the 2 competitors is our beloved. Sometimes this comes about the fact that one team is likely to win and at the end moment the action twists and the unpredicted team or the person wins. And that means you never know with the games together with sports. In such some sort of difficult and uncertain circumstance the way difficult it would likely be to place a bet on any activity function. Or we can certainly say that it is rather complicated to establish the betting on odds of a sport event. Beyond two squads one is usually most likely to win and typically the other one is regarded as as the underdog.
Throughout olden times when the sport betting was not of which well-known, the bettors observed the biggest value by betting upon the underdogs every full week. They didn’t used to have any tips or tutorial content to improve the odds to win. So that they usually wager on their particular favorite teams or maybe people.
The commencement on the world wide web gave valuable equipment in order to the sports gamblers that really help them in their wagering. Apart from the internet the sports betting broadcast also offered excellent gambling advices for you to bettors. Sooner or later the athletics betting community grew to be erudite. The present bettors happen to be given training and producing sports betting a new additional exigent conundrum.
To help to make inwrek betting considerably more even, the experts own driven the betting probabilities. The professional gamblers regarding Las Vegas today set their very own own points of betting. Somewhat than going for typically the under dog side ostensibly, these people create their own factors and try to find the remarkable variances among their points and even the existing gambling line.
After knowing all the above pointed out information about the probabilities, you could also be interested in making cash from your favored sports; if yes you must think of placing a bet. To help get the bets anyone must realize about often the betting chances.
There are many different terms that one must remember to consider before inserting the choice. These terms make a new substantial effect on often the betting likelihood. ‘Stake’ will be one of such expression which means the sum of cash you happen to be betting, next is definitely ‘short odds’ that means associated with the even happening is definitely high, and ‘odds against’ which means that often the return for winning is usually more than the twin of the initial gamble. These types of terms will help you understanding the odds of betting.
When the possibilities of team sports event happen to be displayed, fractional odds and decimal it’s likely used. Fragmentary; sectional odds are applied mainly in UK. This specific exhibit of odds can be represented in such a way the punter understands the particular total accessible odds. Regarding instance if the unusual is displayed as 4/1, it means that if the punter wins the bet, he will get $400 on the risk regarding just $100. Nevertheless, decimal system is more frequent globally. The decimal odd is worked out by splitting one hundred by typically the likelihood of earning throughout the event. For instance in the event there is 20% chance of succeeding then to be able to get the betting chances 100 is divided by means of 20 which gives your five. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '13', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9663652181625366}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '34757', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:Z2GP6EP4UTDOR4SM7HPRP7EXTJFHBNKL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c0b72532-e934-4231-b363-1dcf9c37c6ec>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 3, 14, 20, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.21.40.184', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2RVGWCP252R7PSF4FVVRPRVGGJIHYIK7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:4df636c8-b26b-486e-bceb-88f20a454bcd>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://fluentinteriors.com/comprehending-the-betting-odds/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:895d6465-4148-4432-9b8b-eae412890b2e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '572', 'url': 'https://fluentinteriors.com/comprehending-the-betting-odds/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-31\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July/August 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-217.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': '0.03549468517303467', 'original_id': '111f6574a8f8573dabbc2789b9ff11217517b231ed7a4650dcfae87f2a5991bc'} |
Leaking breasts
It’s normal for your breasts to leak, or even spray milk, during the first few weeks after having your baby. Your breasts may leak:
• Most often in the mornings, when your milk supply is at its highest.
• From just one breast, during almost every feed.
• From both breasts, when you're not feeding (NHS Choices 2012).
Milk leaks can be inconvenient and sometimes embarrassing. But it’s actually a good sign that your body is capable of making lots of milk for your baby.
Why are my breasts leaking?
Your breasts will leak when they become so full of milk that they overflow, or when the hormone oxytocin triggers the muscle cells in your breasts to squeeze out milk (letdown reflex).
You may leak at specific times, such as:
• When you’re feeding your baby from your other breast.
• When you hear your baby cry, or just think about your baby(Inch 2009).
• When you're in a warm environment, such as in the shower or bath, or a hot room(NHS Choices 2012).
How long will my breasts leak for?
Every woman is different, but you’ll probably leak the most during your first few weeks of breastfeeding. It takes a little while for your body to adjust to your baby's feeding needs.
Many mums find that their breasts stop leaking milk some time in the first six weeks to 10 weeks of breastfeeding.
Can I prevent my breasts from leaking?
There’s no fail-safe way of stopping your breasts from leaking. But breastfeeding at regular intervals, and not leaving too long between feeds, may help (LLLi 2006). You could also try expressing your milk before your breasts become too full.
Can I do anything to reduce the leaking once I feel it starting?
If you feel a letdown tingle at an unexpected moment, pressing gently against your nipples with your palms may stop the unwanted flow (LLLi 2006, NHS Choices 2012). To do this more discreetly, try crossing your arms and pressing gently against your breasts (LLLi 2006).
If leaking is becoming a real issue for you, feed your baby as often as possible. The more you breastfeed, the less likely your breasts are to overflow. Experiment with different positions until you find one that allows your baby to latch on well. Once you find a breastfeeding rhythm that suits you both, the leaking should settle down.
You may not be able to control your milk overflow, but you can prepare ahead:
• Wear breasts pads inside your bra (LLLi 2006, NHS Choices 2012). Change them when they become damp, to prevent your nipples from becoming sore (LLLi 2006). If you’re out and about, carry plenty of breast pads with you.
• Try using washable plastic breast shells. If you sterilise them first, you can keep and freeze the milk that collects in them.
• If one breast tends to leak when you’re feeding on the other side, place a cloth, breast pad or breast shell inside your bra.
• Wear tops that camouflage milk stains! Prints and patterns work well. If you're out for the day, take a spare bra and top.
My breasts never leak. Do I have enough milk?
Leaking breasts don’t relate to the amount of milk you have. Many mums never leak at all. It depends on how the tiny muscles at the opening of the nipple pores work. These muscles squeeze open and shut. If your muscles are very efficient, your breasts probably won’t leak at all.

When do u posted to leak milk bec iam 33 weeks iam leaking milk already
Is it normal for my breast to make more milk as soon as I am finish feeding? I would feed my baby on one breast and by the time she is finished, the other is filled already, do I continue to feed her again from the other breast?

Pretty quiet on the Pirates news lately, so why not jump out into the rest of MLB. The big story yesterday was Miami enacting yet another firesale trade on its weary fan base. Go read that link; Grant’s awesome. I’ll still be here when you get back.
Good read, eh? Sucks to be a Marlins fan right now. Here’s how the trade shakes out down on South Beach (click to embiggen):
On the flipside, Toronto immediately improves by leaps and bounds. Still, it will be hard for them to compete in the AL East. At most only three teams from the division can make the playoffs and the fourth place Jays were 17 games behind the Rays. Even if you figure that they added 10 wins worth of new players (Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, John Buck and Emilio Bonifacio combined for ~10 WAR in 2012) and traded ~3.4 wins, that’s only a net of 6.6 wins improvement. A full season from Jose Bautista might be worth an additional 3 wins which would get them an 83-79 record. Just good enough to miss the playoffs again and break your Canadian heart.
Travis Snider should see lots of time in RF. He’s a power bat that hasn’t lived up to his potential yet, so this is an upside play for the Pirates. Alex Presley and Casey McGehee are about to see a lot more of the bench.
The bullpen is going to miss having Brad Lincoln around but the Pirates dealt from their strength. Jason Grilli and Joel Hanrahan will continue to handle the 8th and 9th. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5e494b2844d662efbf4e609bcec85c0b85366b2dc4fc3bc39d42ff61c9fa5bae'} |

Q:
Is it efficient to use copy-expensive class as the mapped value in std::map?
In a nutshell, is it efficient to use
std::map<int, std::set<int> > instead of
std::map<int, boost::shared_ptr<std::set<int>>?
For vector, i will choose boost::shared_ptr. But for std::map, I am not sure whether it is worthwhile.
A:
Documentation for std::map::insert() says http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map/insert:
No iterators or references are invalidated.
For std::map::erase() http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map/erase
References and iterators to the erased elements are invalidated. Other references and iterators are not affected.
which means that either insert nor erase does not move objects around, so you should not worry about expense of copy, except the case that you need to insert already created big object into a map. But in this case I would use std::map::emplace() method and/or move semantics rather than complicating code with shared pointer.

Subscribe To For Your Consideration: American Hustle Is The Only Oscar Nominee That's Good At Everything Updates
From now until the Friday before the Oscars we'll be running daily pieces about why a film does or does not deserve Best Picture. Here is Mack with his argument for David O. Russell's American Hustle!
I left my showing of American Hustle with a smile on my face and a healthy appreciation for what I’d just seen. I knew, without a doubt, it would go on my yearly Top 10 Movies list. The where was the only question. I initially assumed it would end up about seventh or eighth, but when I sat down to actually make the list, it kept getting bumped up and bumped up until it was my single highest rated movie of the year.
To explain why, I need to talk a little about James Bond.
A year and a half ago, I sat down alongside my very understanding wife and watched every single Bond movie in the generally accepted canon. I took notes on great moments, great villains and cheeky dialogue, and I took others on bizarre plot developments, awkward musical choices and poor pacing. Then, I wrote the name of every film on its own post-it note and went to town arranging and re-arranging on a poster board. In the end, I picked Goldfinger as my favorite. A few other films had better villains. A few others had more iconic moments and still more had better visual effects, but in the end, there’s no single film that rates as high in every single category as Goldfinger. It’s an eight or better across the board, and that’s exactly how I feel about American Hustle.
Led by Academy Award nominees Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle doesn’t contain any of the showiest performances of the year (see Dallas Buyers Club and Blue Jasmine), but its average starting value across the board is incredible. It’s boasts the type of depth the SAG Best Ensemble category is made for, and it’s not forced to hide any weak spots at all. Even the supporting parts like Louis CK and Jeremy Renner are top notch.
Similar praise could be heaped upon the screenplay as well. It somehow finds the time to explain (reasonably well) a complicated political corruption scheme and to provide a wealth of backstory for four principal characters, plus a fifth who comes outfitted with a wife who’s a few strokes more interesting than your average Hollywood wife. It also makes brilliant and hysterical usage of a story it intentionally doesn’t finish and is smart enough to openly admit it takes liberties with the source material, something many recent films haven’t done.
And how about directing? David O Russell is so confident with his camera and so willing to be patient. Sometimes he slows the action down enough to let characters wallow in a single moment to prove a larger point and to offer a window into their personalities. Other times, he lets music completely take over the scene, knowing the basic emotion and the general gist of what’s going on is far more important than the intricacies of the dialogue, no matter how beautiful it might look on the page.
Some people choose a Best Picture winner because it takes one or two elements and absolutely, positively crushes them in a way audience members haven’t seen before. American Hustle doesn’t do that. It might not even be the best at anything. If you’re the type of person who takes the overall quality of everything and meshes it together to honor the greatest overall experience of the year, however, then American Hustle has to be your choice. The cinematography is great. The costuming is great. The pacing, the subject matter and the character development are all great. It’s a consistent high five all the way across the board, and if that counts, it should walk away with Best Picture.

Kick out the stale air by a Ventilator
Ventilation is the phenomenon of providing a vent to a constricted air in order to purify the atmosphere of a place and make it worthy for breathing. A proper ventilation system facilitates the augmentation of the quality of air in terms of freshness. Let us take a scientific curve in the discussion. Well, talking scientifically, a ventilation system works on the principle of absorption and circulation. In an area highly restrained via door and windows, the air soon turns stale. A Turbo Ventilator fitted on a high space works to clear the stale air and replace it with fresh air. The constricted air is pulled by the moving turbines of the ventilator and thrown out through a vent. Thus the rotten air is displaced by fresh air through the same vent of the Turbo Ventilator.
A Wind Ventilator does not consume any power or electricity for its functioning. As rightly suggested by the name a Wind Ventilator is governed by wind energy movement. Whenever wind flows, the turbines of the ventilation system start the rotating action. A quality Ventilator does not pose any maintenance hassles on the its user. That is why they are a highly cost effective option for factories which produce highly poisonous fumes while conducting their production activities.
At times air in a restricted space gets over heated due to high absorption of human body heat present in the area. Such air is less conducive and unhealthy for human respiration. A quality Ventilator, if installed in that area can do a nice job in cleaning up the excess heat in the atmosphere. Thus ventilation systems help moderating a room's temperature by giving the heated air a wide vent to pass out from there. Owing to this immense utility of an air ventilation system they are receiving a large scale acceptance from customers of diverse demographic segments.

Use of Turbo Ventilator in industries
Summers are always hard but with the changing weather conditions they have become even more unpredictable. Both living and non living things have to bear the harmful effects of the summer, especially in enclosed places like factories where hundreds of people work in a packed environment The heat is not only unbearable for people but it also affects the structure of the buildings, most commonly, the roof.
In factories heat produced from the machines moves towards the roof where it gets condensed and form moisture. This moisture adversely affects the metal that has been used in the construction of the roof. Sometimes even wood is used in the construction of roof, which can deteriorate really quickly. Also there is a fear of mildew growth, which is one of the fastest growing fungus that can cause health problems. In order to combat these issues most of the people use turbo ventilator or wind ventilator. These ventilators extract the hot and polluted air and offer fresh air by equalising the air both outside and inside the room. Not only these ventilators are a great way of assuring fresh air circulation inside the premise but they are also prove to be a cost effective solution to control the heat.
Furthermore, machines used in factories require cooling after a certain time. Small machines like laptop or a desktop computer have built-in cooling systems so as to bring their temperature down. But in the case of large-scale industries, machines that are under unconditioned ventilation get susceptible to the moisture formation in them. This can causes mould problems that can be harmful to the workers. Also, the air around the machines in industries is highly contaminated. To take care of these issues the use of wind ventilator is highly advisable. This will enable factories to reduce the exposure to toxic chemicals to the workers.
Both industries and rooms in houses need the correct air balance or air circulation so that one can have a healthy environment. Ventilators are available in different sizes and so one can choose the ideal size depending upon the size of the premise. Owing to the fact that these are located at the highest point of the roof, they offer optimum ventilation. These ventilators also boasts of anti-corrosive property.

In English
Prekkajakku (Ernst Gustaf von Willebrand)
Who was Prekkajakku? The name has probably been abbreviated from the Finnish word ’prenikkajakku’ (decoration jacket) and references decorations or orders of merit. It was the name given by the people to Provincial Governor Ernst Gustaf von Willebrand who bought the Jokioinen Estate in 1791 after taking care of the Estate for years before that.
The history of the municipality of Jokioinen is tightly interwoven with that of the Jokioinen Estate. The Estate has been owned by many well-known families, such as the Flemings, the Kruus, the Reuterholms and the Mannerheims, but Provincial Governor von Willebrand stays the most notable owner of the Estate. He was a vigorous and efficient person who, unlike his predecessors, also lived in Jokioinen and whose work is still visible and in use.
In Provincial Governor von Willebrand, the Jokioinen Estate got an owner who began the industrialisation process in Jokioinen and soon made it one of the most notable industrial areas of the Tavastia region. The Provincial Governor founded many workshops in the Estate area, among them a brick factory, a brewery and a textile factory.
Promoted to General, von Willebrand could manage the army’s orders to his own companies and jealous comrades suspected him of abusing his position and connections to his own advantage. During the Finnish War, he did business with the Russian occupiers and of these sales, the soldiers made a song which demonstrates the General’s tendency to put his own good ahead of everything else:
”Kyllä Prekka-Jakku tiesi,
kun myllyn rakensi,
että Ryssä Turkuun tuli
ja jauhoja tarvitsi”
(“Prekka-Jakku did know
when building a mill
that the Russians would come to Turku
and require flour”)
Provincial Governor Willebrand developed agriculture and animal husbandry; towards the end of 1790s, the Estate got a new cowhouse made of brick, the first one of its type in Finland. The construction of a new main building was began in 1794. This 30-room plastered brick building is the earliest specimen of neo-classical estate style in Finland and at its time it was the second largest building in Finland.
During Willebrand’s time, the Jokioinen Estate was favoured by the bourgeois population of the nearby regions as a place to visit, and also the King of Sweden, on his travels in Finland, stayed the night at the Estate. The General’s influence was seen everywhere, and his wife took care of housekeeping herself. Life was modest; there were only four dishes even at dinner. However, when there were guests, the offerings were excellent. The Estate and the park around it were full of life. Aurora Karamzin and her sisters spent summers in Jokioinen, because the Willebrands were their grandparents.
The years 1808 and 1809 were one of the turning points in the history of Jokioinen. Finland was ceded from Sweden to Russia and made an autonomic Grand Duchy. At the end of 1809, General von Willebrand died at 58 years of age in the middle of executing many of his plans. His wife Wendla took care of the Estate after him until her own death in 1820, when the Estate was sold to two sons-in-law.
There are many contradicting views on the character of General E. G. von Willebrand. Many thought him a cold-blooded and cunning person who only cared for his own good and a hard businessman. He taxed the tenant farmers heavily and they sued him for groundless taxes, but in response, the General only ordered harsh counterblows to the law suit. There are nearly no known signs of the General taking care of his subordinates and there are many tales of his time.
A completely different view on the General was had by the guests of the Estate who have remarked that the General was polite, pleasant and humble, and free especially when there were no ladies present. His wisdom and vigour were admired.
General and Mrs von Willebrand have been buried in the Estate park on the spot the General himself picked during his lifetime. He’s said to have remarked that on his daily walk, that spot ‘always gave him such a calm feeling’.
The vigorous Prekkajakku was ahead of his time and was able to look into the future bravely and without prejudice.

Confusing aspects of Medicare Insurance
Presenter: Neal
Guest: Danielle Kunkle
Guest Bio: Danielle Kunkle is the co-owner of Boomer Benefits, an agency that specializes in Medicare-related insurance products nationwide. She is the immediate past-president of the Fort Worth Association of Health Underwriters and currently sits on the board of the state association as its quarterly magazine editor.
Segment Overview: Danielle Kunkle discusses some of the most confusing aspects of Medicare Insurance….Medicare Part “D”.
HPR – Health Professional Radio
Neal: Hello and welcome to Health Professional Radio. I’m your host, Neal Howard. So glad that you decided to join us today. Medicare is one of the most confusing aspects of turning 65. Baby boomers are fast approaching that age and we are looking for options when it comes to insurance once we either supplement it with Medicare or totally get off of our company’s insurance. Our guest in studio today is Danielle Kunkle, Medicare insurance expert, author and speaker and she’s here with us today to give some insight into understanding this confusing aspect of healthcare. How are you doing today, Danielle?
Danielle: I’m terrific, how are you?
N: I’m doing well. Glad that you decided to return with us and give us a little more insight into your area of expertise and also into Medicare as a whole. When you were here before, we were talking about the many different parts of the Medicare healthcare program. One of the most talked about parts of Medicare is the part D, you talked about a doughnut hole as being something to avoid, could you explain to us what is the Medicare part D doughnut hole and why is it so important that we avoid it?
D: The doughnut hole is a piece of the year after which you have spent a certain amount of money when your co-insurance that you pay for the cost of your prescription can go up. So when Medicare first created part D, they were trying to figure out how to provide prescription drug coverage for the majority of Medicare beneficiaries in America but they also needed to encourage those beneficiaries to consider generic drugs and inexpensive drugs as a means to keep the Medicare cost down as a whole. And so what happens with your part D is every time you go with a prescription, your insurance company tracks for Medicare how much you have spent on prescription drugs and across all part D drug plans in the nation when you a reach a certain limit at that point, you go into what is called the coverage gap and commonly called by consumers – the doughnut hole.
A few years ago, when you reach the donut hole you would pay a hundred of the cost of your medication during that coverage gap and so you might have been paying $40 for prescription and then when you past that threshold, now all of a sudden you’re paying a hundred. And the affordable care act legislation actually revised that much for the better for consumers, now when you go into the doughnut hole, you’ll pay 45% of the cost of your prescription drugs and your carrier picks up the rest. However, if you have a drug that costs, say $300 a month, you’re going to have, still a piece that you’re gonna need to cover and so one of the things that consumers can do is review their medications online using Medicare’s website. Medicare’s website has a prescription drug finder tool where you can punch in your prescription and your dosage and frequency and you can see exactly how much each drug is contributing towards your annual total and then you take that information to your physician and be able to point out which drugs are putting you close to the doughnut hole each year. And then maybe the physician can work with you on small alternative that would keep you out of that doughnut hole for as long as possible.
N: Could you describe for us maybe a couple of alternatives that a healthcare professional might offer to one of his patients?
D: Sure! Of course we have your standard generics, so anytime there’s a prescription out there that goes off its patent and they can offer the generic – that is great. And sometimes we find that physicians may not always be thinking, “Oh I’ve got a person here on Medicare, I should really not write the brand name prescription, let’s go ahead and try the generic and see if that works.” And so if you’re proactively thinking about “hey this client have a doughnut hole to pay. Am I prescribing a brand name medication where I could be”, letting them know to try generic, that’s gonna be something that’ll really help your patients. Also, Medicare part D drug plans – they have to offer at least 2 medications in each therapeutic class, so whatever condition that this medication that you may be prescribing is gonna treat for your patient is there happens to be an alternative drug that also treats the same condition, that does have a generic alternative. That is another way just helping them explore what some of the other medications might be that they can try so in some condition we have scores of different medications for them, being blood pressure, being an easy one to think about and lots of generic drugs that we can try. So if you try those with your patient and that works for them, you’re gonna help them avoid the doughnut hole. In some cases, brand name medications are really the ones that they need to stick with and if you have a good reason for not working with the generic or not accepting the generic as readily then explain to your patients so they know that may be this is really worse ever happened than a little more during the year because my physician truly believes that this brand name medication, this specific medication is gonna treat my condition better.
N: Now, we’ve been talking about percentages, we’ve been talking about manipulating, well not manipulating the number, but keeping track of the numbers and consulting with your doctor in order to better understand where you stand with Medicare. Now, when it comes down to the bottom line, how much does Medicare cost?
D: Medicare has a lot of unexpected costs that people don’t think about, when you’re working throughout your working lifetime, you pay a tax on your every payroll and that goes toward paying your Medicare part A which is your hospital insurance and those people by the time they reach age 65 have either worked 10 years in the United States- forty quarters is the number they’re trying to hit or at then married to someone that has – and so lot of times they don’t pay for part A but because of tax comes on every your pay check on you always on there throughout your working lifetime, there’s a public perception that Medicare is paid up for already paid for and so it can be a surprise to people when turn 65 and realize that the other part which is your out-patient insurance covering all the things that we think about as normal healthcare benefits, doctors does it, surgeries, lab works, part B, you actually have to a premium for, currently, that number is a hundred and four dollars and ninety cents. In America, it can be higher based on your income. So you wanna be prepared just for your basic Medicare to know that you’re gonna go into that at least spending around a hundred and five dollars.
N: Now, you’re the co-founder of Boomer Benefits, it’s an insurance agency that’s specializes in Medicare plans. Now, you also teach the 8-hour Medicare related products certification course that insurance agency in the state of Texas they must have this in order to work with Medicare insurance products, when it comes to your healthcare provider, do you teach staff about the intricacies of Medicare so that the nurses and techs and even the healthcare provider, this probably gonna be only gonna be able to see you for about 8 minutes at the max, do you teach them methods by which they can transmit this information in a timely and understandable fashion to the patient that come in?
D: Absolutely! We do. We first started working with Medicare products many years ago, we actually did a lot of face to face, walking in the doctor’s offices, explaining who we were, giving our information out so that they can call and we found over time that a lot of the staff in doctor’s offices are just as confused about some of the Medicare mysteries as the public are. So we have gone out locally here, we’ve met with some doctor’s offices and have done lunches and learn and explaining different Medicare products, we’ve also had a few that we worked with that will give business cards so that maybe they don’t have time to train their own staff but they wanna send patient over to us and have that patient get educated while also knowing which doctor sent that person to us so that we can notify the patient, “Hey if you wanna continue seeing this doctor, he participates in Medicare, so all the Medigap plans will work and then here’s also some other plans he participates in”. Medicare does have some requirements about making sure you’re fair with the information but mostly, we find the doctor’s offices, they just want their patients to have that. And so, even in areas where our agency is active in forty states but even areas where we don’t get together face to face, we can do conference calls with the doctor’s office’s office managers and answer questions and also just be a resource for them when someone brings in a question they don’t know the answer to.
N: As we wrap up this segment, I’d like to ask you a question. In your experience, I’m sure you speak with the healthcare professionals on a regular basis and maybe you’ve noticed some healthcare professionals moving away from their practice based on the confusing affordable care act, not wanting to have to learn new procedures, not wanting to have to understand the insurance, not wanting to have to comply by next year with certain aspects of the affordable healthcare act, do you find the same resistance or apprehension when dealing with healthcare professionals with Medicare and that education?
D: We do find some, it seems like the healthcare providers are a little more open to working with Medicare because it’s been around longer, it’s not the new kid on the block that we have to learn so many new things about. One area we do see some changes happening with Medicare is of course that physicians need to be compensated for their time and training and all the other things that cost their run on medical practice, and we find that Medicare course is not the highest compensation, and so lots of doctors especially family practice doctors, their patient-mix can only be made up of so many Medicare-age individual because they get compensated more highly for people that have employer-group insurance in a younger time in their life, so Medicare is not quite as confusing but I do think that probably every year healthcare providers have to evaluate how many people they can see with Medicare so that they can have a practice that flourish.
N: So basically, you have to, as a healthcare provider you have to be careful as to the number of Medicare patients that you have known based on your own compensation as a provider, yeah?
D: We do, we find a lot of them. Definitely, look at that and are concerned about that.
N: Some absolutely wonderful information. Our guest in studio today has been Danielle Kunkle, Medicare insurance expert, author and speaker. You’ve been listening to Health Professional Radio. I’m your host Neal Howard. And we’ve been here talking about some of the ways that consumers and healthcare professionals like and begin to learn to understand the confusing world of Medicare. It’s been great having you here with us today, Danielle.
D: I appreciate you having me, thank you so much.
N: Thank you. Audio of this program is available at and also at HPR.FM and you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes.

The House of the Solitary - The Cell Phone (2020)
Photopolymer 3D printing, Cement casting, QR code; 6 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches
The sculpture is a tangible representation of my affect in the video piece “The House of the Solitary.” The shape is extracted from one of the chapters, “The Cell Phone,” of the animations. The sculpture exists in the physical world as an object of retention. Cast in cement, it holds the weight of my experience during the pandemic both conceptually and physically. The heavy emotions from my lock-down are embodied in the concrete form. When displayed, viewers are encouraged to handle the sculpture, and sense its weight with their own bodies, thus allowing the capacity of emotions to be transmitted between bodies. A QR code is engraved on the back of the sculpture, allowing viewers to scan and connect to a poem of this piece.

Carlos is extremely responsive and willing to help. There wasn't hot water when I arrived, but 10 minutes later the gas was hooked up and functioning. The building is a bit run down, and the rooms are quite basic. But the value and location were great. Just be sure to close the windows at night, I was a meal for a couple of mosquitoes.
I stayed for 23 nights in this room. It is in a great location in the center. Lot's of nearby transportation options. Lot's of great eating options within easy walking distance and in every price range. There is a convenience store in the building on the ground floor, it's very handy. The room is one story up and secure. It was very clean, cleaned almost daily. Well lit and has a window to an outside area. The wifi worked very well, there's also an internet cafe in the store downstairs. To shower is a little tricky because it comes in burst so you have to be quick to add cold water to the mix or it is too hot. One thing to note is the check in instructions said doorman will have key. There is no doorman, get the key from the cashier in the store. This is a great place to stay for an independent traveler that doesn't need someone around all the time. Great value. I would definitely recommend Carlos's room.

We are in the Mexico city’s heart. Where you can find everything: museums, night life, archeological sites and markets. The airport is near to our home only 30 minutes on subway, metrobus or taxi. The downtown area is very noisy at the day because is a commercial and cultural zone but our flat it’s so clean and quiet, an ideal place for adventurers and couples. You can start your day with the breakfast that we offer (coffee, bread and fruit).
We are historians and we can tell you about some traditional restaurants and cultural places that we know.
Our neighborhood is a cultural zone so you can find museums, historical buildings and traditional mexican food.
Beatriz & Carlos are an awesome, down-to-earth couple who are knowledgeable about Mexico City and Mexico as a whole. They are exactly the type of host you hope for when staying at an Airbnb. The apartment is located on a busy street in downtown Mexico City, in the Centro Historico. Note that it can get noisy at times (I stayed on a weekend, so not sure about the weekdays), but otherwise the location is super convenient and in an area with great nightlife, sightseeing, and more. You don't really need to go anywhere else if you don't want to!

This beautiful and renovated apartment is located in the heart of Mexico City: the Historic Center. It is an ideal place for anyone who wants to know this great city from the soul. Our studio is surrounded by belfries, temples, ex-convents, restaurants, museums, markets and even a wrestling arena. The apartment is very convenient: you’ll find just what you need to spend incredible days and a beautiful roof garden to see the City from the heights.
It is a new apartment in the heart of Mexico City. The building is in perfect conditions and has security 24 hours a day.
1. Walk through the Historic Center. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it preserves architectural gems, such as the Palace of Fine Arts and the Post Office. Here you will find museums, shops (to buy everything), restaurants, canteens and magnificent colonial buildings. Walk along the pedestrian walkway Madero, full of people, street artists and interesting nooks and crannies.
Our favorite restaurants in the area: Historic Blue, El Cardenal, Mercaderes, Las Margaritas, Zephyr.
2. Admire the Metropolitan Cathedral. It is the largest cathedral in America. It was begun to build in 1573 and finished in 1813, reason why it has several architectural styles. It emphasizes its altarpiece and the dome, elaborated by Manuel Tolsá. To one side is the Metropolitan Tabernacle which, for some experts, contains the best churrigueresque façade of Latin America.
3. Look at the murals of the National Palace. This building conserves beautiful murals of Diego Rivera that tell the history of Mexico. Do not miss the balcony where, every year, the president gives the "Scream" sounding the same campaign with which the priest Miguel Hidalgo called the armed movement.
4. Eat on the terrace of the Grand Hotel in Mexico City. Located in one of the most beautiful buildings of the Historical Center (where the Art Nouveau decoration, the open ironwork elevator and the stained glass ceilings stand out), this restaurant offers one of the best views of the city. To contemplate there the sunset is priceless. We recommend you order the tasting menu.
5. Enter the Templo Mayor and visit the Site Museum. In this space you will discover thousands of prehispanic pieces found during more than 36 years of excavation in the ruins of what was the largest and important building of Mexico-Tenochtilan, and its sacred enclosure. Among the monuments you can not miss admiring are the monolith of Coyauhqui and the imposing relief of Tlaltecuhtli.
6. Walk along the Paseo de la Reforma and climb up to the column of the Angel of Independence. The Paseo de la Reforma is the most elegant avenue in the city: there are shops, museums, parks and some of the most emblematic monuments in the country, such as "el Ángel". The column, of 52 meters, was inaugurated in 1910 and at the moment it is possible to rise by its interior until the feet of Winged Victory. From there you get magnificent panoramic views of the city.
7. Meet the National Museum of Anthropology. Built by the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, evoking features of pre-Hispanic architecture, this area is considered by specialists to be the most important in Latin America and one of the twenty most influential in the world. Among the treasures are: the Tlaloc monolith, which welcomes the visitor from Paseo de la Reforma, the Tomb of King Pacal, and the impressive Piedra del Sol, the most important archaeological monument in Mexico discovered on Decemb(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN). Visit the Chapultepec Forest. This beautiful park has spaces for running, biking and walking. In the First Section you will discover the Baths of Moctezuma, "El Sargento", the fountain of Nezahualcóyotl, monuments to the Children Heroes and an archaeological zone. You can get to know these places on foot or on board an ecological tram. In addition, there is the zoo with more than 1,400 species and the National Museum of History Castillo de Chapultepec which houses collections of art and objects from the time of Independence until the twentieth century (in the only castle in Mexico!).
10. Eat in the Polanco area. Polanco is one of the most cosmopolitan colonies in the capital. Here there are boutiques, restaurants, bars, parks and cafes. One of the most traditional places is the "Polanco area" between Lincoln Park and Presidente Masarik Avenue. Here there are restaurants of all kinds of food with pleasant terraces. We recommend Dulce Patria, considered one of the best of Mexican cuisine.
We had a fantastic stay at Lety's place during our week-long trip to Mexico City. The building is newly renovated (or new?) and the apartment still smelled new during our stay. It was impeccably clean and was the perfect amount of space for my husband and me. The rooftop is a HUGE added bonus. We spent a lot of time up there. A beautiful deck with views of the city and even a grill if you feel like cooking during your vacation. There is also a community room on the roof with a couch, stereo, and some additional tables/chairs. A great place to eat dinner or just hang out after a long day of walking around the city. (There's a covered outdoor area too, so a fantastic place to sit and watch the evening storms roll in!) I can't recommend this apartment enough-- we loved it! But, if you are a light sleeper, be sure to bring a sleep mask and ear plugs. The beautiful doors throughout the apartment are wonderful-- but the bed faces the east, so if you want to sleep in, you will want a sleep mask. And it is a little noisy- but I think that would probably be true for any apartment anywhere throughout the city. The locals driving through the streets selling food start their calls VERY early every morning. Another added bonus-- the building is literally one block away from the Coliseo... Luche Libre was not on our initial travel agenda, but we were so close and it was so cheap, we went one night and had a blast! It was a great time. The building seems to be mostly (if not completely) vacationers. It kind of has an almost fancy (& much cleaner) hostel feeling because there were so many people from so many different countries that were staying in the building. (One tip on the apartment itself--- the glass doors-- if you turn the handles UP, the door will tip out from the top. Helpful at night when the shades were down! We didn't discover this till our last couple of nights...) Regarding the area, if you are looking to see all of the sights in Centro Historico-- this is a fantastic location. It was an easy walk to the major sites. But, it is also maybe closer than it looks to the Southern edge of Tepito-- so unless you know your way around or speak Spanish fluently, highly recommend Uber if you need to go further north. (Also, in case you didn't know about it-- check out the Uber Eats app...). We never had any issues on the street the apartment was on and felt safe, but when we were getting back to the apartment late at night, we chose Uber over walking. Some of the streets leading to the apartment are pretty dark and once the shops close up, they are also very empty. Another added bonus is that the building is secure and has a doorman 24/7. He'll...

Lety's place was great for a short 3 day stay. Place was clean, modern, and secured. Rooftop has amazing views. Comfortable for two people and with really nice amenities such a microwave, fridge, cable tv, and awesome windows. The only thing that was a bit slow at times was connectivity to internet, but no biggie. The place was great, but the area was just not for us. Nighttime felt a bit sketch. A couple of nights people played really loud music across the street until about 4am. At times, walking around in the area didnt feel as secure as liked to. These are not issues with Lety's actual place, it was more like external factors that could not be controlled. After the first day, we just tried to be back at the unit before dark. No problems at all during the day. Once inside the building it was secure.

We absolutely loved this apartment! It was perfectly located in centro histórico with loads of restaurants, museums and night life just around the corner. The big shopping street is really close by as well... communication with Carlos was fantastic! He replied very quickly and was extremely helpful with anything we needed. The views from the apartment are gorgeous, the apartment is super clean and everything is in working order. The apartment is new with great finishes and the shower is a real luxury in Mexico City where the plumbing usually is quite sketchy, but here works perfectly. The decoration is chic and comfortable, you feel right at home. We really enjoyed ourself here and will definitely come back!

Loft type apartment ideal for one couple, one of the biggest remarks is the view of the Santo Domingo church, the apartment provokes a high contrast between the antique and traditional constructions of the surroundings which you can see right outside the windows and the minimalist decoration with a Mexican touch( for example the artworks of the Down Mexican School of Art) which turns it into an elegant and cozy. Free pick up service!!!
Apartment located in the Republic of Peru street inside a building recently remodeled and with high quality design.The apartment is a 35 m2 loft with living room, master bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with high quality furniture. The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed (with blankets, sheets and comfortable pillows) and two modern night lamps. The living room is equipped with a high-definition flat screen smart tv, internet access and cable TV, a dining table, two chairs, a double size sofa bed and a stool that acts as a footrest or snack table (when the tray is put on it).
The kitchen has microwave, oven, full tableware and cutlery for 4 people, electric stove, coffee maker, electric jug to heat water, blender and toaster.
I loved the location of this apartment. It is extremely easy to get to from the airport on Metrobus, linea 4. The bus stop is steps from the door. It's in the historic center and less than 10 minute walk from the Zocalo, where you can take one of many tour buses to different destinations (hop-on hop-off as well as guided tours). The room is small but very charming. I recommend that light sleepers bring ear plugs, because the city is alive and noisy, but you will want to keep the window open. I actually loved the music and laughter until late at night. It reminded me that I am not in the boring Chicago suburbs any more. Marco and his girlfriend were very warm and welcoming. Both of them speak good English, which was very helpful. They made sure that I knew where I was going and offered tips and directions. They took the time to talk to me, even though I was there during the busy work week. I felt safe and cared for and enjoyed my first visit to Mexico City. Thank you!
Very good location at the middle of CDMX surrounding with restaurants and historic spot Antonio is a good host he help me to solve everything I need his room is very safe and clean with one separate guest room his girl Friend stay together in another room but Antonio always outside for working and back so late if you arrive CDMX from airport buy metro card 10 peso and top up 30 peso take linea 4 and get off near his apartment it's so convenient
John's apartment is clean and comfortable, with a minimalistic decor shown in the photos. It's safe, with a doorman downstairs to open the door for you at any time. The rooftop garden is wonderful as well, like what all the reviewers said! John did his best to respond right away to issues. The sofa bed is a little small if someone was taller than 6 feet, but besides that, this is a perfect place for four people. Next time I come to Mexico City, I'd stay here again!

Fantastic place. Very close to Centro, the metro, and right next to the best lucha libre in the city! Easy check in with security at the front desk and security is there 24/7. Wifi was great and Netflix a nice bonus. Will definitely stay here again in the future.
Jesse2017-09-04T00:00:00Z
Everything about this place was wonderful! We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful apartment and feeling of security the building offers. When we arrived there was a gentleman who showed us the entire building, including the exceptional rooftop rose garden. My boyfriend and I stayed in Mexico City for about a week and it was nice to have a calm evening on the rooftop enjoying some wine. The apartment offers many amenities sometimes taken for granted (tv with Netflix, fast wifi, wine opener, Bluetooth speaker, extra comfy blankets, etc.). The location is also great and plenty of wonderful spots to eat and see around the area. John was also nice enough to let us stay longer than checkout since our flight got delayed and that made our last day so much less stressful than it would've been. No complaints about this wonderful stay!! :)

The historical center of Mexico city is a great place to stay if you wanna have a cultural experience. There are many museums, beautifull arquitecture, restaurants and historical places.
Francisco’s place is an excellent option for a quick stay and visit to Mexico’s city historic center that is amazing by the way. Very clean and organized, definitely would stay there again

Our stay at Francisco's was nothing short of miraculous. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, though we had an itinerary planned- Francisco managed to help us with some other things that you won't find on travel blogs or articles. The apartment was extremely clean and secure with a central location. Leave the windows open to get all of the wonderful sounds of the city or keep them closed for some quiet time. Do yourself and loved ones a favor- stay here! Soak in the best of what Mexico City has to offer by finding your home away from home in Francisco's apartment.
Very nice house. Located in a great place in the city very close to everything i wanted. Walf and dani where always the best, really helped me in everything and always ask if i want help in anything or if i want them to show me places in the city.

This is exactly what an airbnb should be. Unique, affordable, close to plenty of historic tourist attractions, amenable host, walkable neighborhood, super flexible, close to transit. It´s in the Centro Historico of the city. It´s quite busy in the daytime and a little on the quiet side at night (which I actually prefer). But everything is super convenient and it´s quite safe for such a large city. The architecture is beautifully aged and is a sight to behold. Wolfran is extremely helpful and an excellent cook. He and his roommate are really into the arts scene of the city, so if you ask you will learn a lot of interesting things about this humanities-driven city. In fact, this 100-year-old apartment is adorned with lots of beautiful, unique art and furniture, which just adds to the experience. I wish I could give 6 stars! Seriously. Thank you guys for an unforgetable two days!

I booked this room as I had an early flight and needed to stay in Mexico City overnight. I enjoyed my stay in your clean and comfortable apartment. Everything was as described and it was central, so getting to the airport was not a problem.
Jonathan is a really nice guy who knows A LOT about Mexico city and will help you get around as much as possible. Staying with him has been a pleasure, he has been super accomodating with our group of 3, providing us with 2 rooms and 2 sets of keys, even offering us his washing machines at the end of the trip. Staying here has been lovely and you also get the benefits of staying near the metro and a large supermarket, as well as nice breakfast places. I highly recommend this airbnb! Cannot stress enough how nice Jonathan is

The Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México (English: Historic Centre of Mexico City English: Historic Center of Mexico City), also known as the Centro or Centro Histórico, is the central neighborhood in Mexico City, Mexico, focused on Zócalo or main plaza and extending in all directions for a number of blocks, with its farthest extent being west to the Alameda Central.The Zocalo is the largest plaza in Latin (URL HIDDEN) can hold up to nearly 100,000 people. This is where the Spaniards began to build what is now modern Mexico City in the 16th century on the ruins of the conquered Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire. As the centre of the ancient Aztec Empire and the seat of power for the Spanish colony of New Spain, the Centro Historico contains most of the city's historic sites from both eras as well as a large number of museums. This has made it a World Heritage Site.

Ruben is the best! I had a fantastic experience with Ruben! If you are looking for a place to stay in Mexico City. It's a perfect choice. First, the location is great. It right beside the Zocalo, the center square. 200 meters from the square and metro station. Two delicious and cheap local restaurants just across the street. Second, Ruben is so so so so nice and warm hearted!!! He stayed up to 2am waiting for me to check in! He also took me to a local show in the other night with his artist friends for free. It's an unforgetable experience. Ruben is a polite, helpful artist who has lived in euro and many other countries. He does't only host me but also accompany me during my stay! In my last night we went to a local bar together and had so much fun! We built a great friendship! I highly recommand Ruben's place to everyone who is looking for a place to stay in Mexico City. If you are also looking for tips for traveling in Mexico, feel free to contact Ruben or me, I am more than willing to help! | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'afc6f61ce51aa0a0ef1d274cb681c48f322aaad114dde233d875b26b40a4e196'} |

Roadmap Planner is now part of Goals by KeepSolid
Build Strategy Roadmaps Smarter | Faster | Together | on Any Device
How to identify the key stages of the project?
Roadmap Planner offers you a new sought-after feature, the Milestones. Now you can mark the important stages of your projects within the timeline, and clearly see the volume of work that is required at each stage to correctly allocate the resources. This is a great opportunity to visualize, schedule, and monitor the progress of the whole project.
Each milestone usually stands for an important meeting, release or update of your product, or a significant world event that can influence your further steps in the market. A milestone by itself does not impact the project duration, but if you failed to meet the first one, you should understand that there is less time left for the next ones.
The main benefits of the milestones
Using milestones you can easily break your projects into small actionable steps. This will help your team to notice the forthcoming deadlines, evaluate the progress of the current works, and more smoothly advance through all the phases of the project straight to its successful completion.
Roadmap Planner allows you to name your milestones, add important notes, and hide completed ones from the document to view the active stages only. Also, you can mark any milestone with the necessary resources, such as Human Resources, Budget, Materials, or Documents. This Resource Planning option will help you to focus your attention on the result you need to reach. Create as many milestones as you need to accurately keep all your projects under control.
Download Roadmap Planner today, and make the project planning process a favorite part of your work.

Although Homer has to lie down during the performance, he wows the crowd at the Springfield Opera House. Homer becomes an enormous celebrity, especially with the ladies; much to Marge's chagrin.

Feeling that Maggie is getting too clingy, Marge hires a counselor to teach her the "C.R.I.E. Method," a counseling program that helps parents raise their children to be very independent at an early age. But the method works a little too well, leaving Maggie with no need for Marge at all. Meanwhile, Homer goes in search of milk for Maggie in Mookington and ends up having his car towed by a tow truck driver named Louie (Matt Dillon) who introduces Homer to the joy of towing cars for a living. Louie invites Homer to be the tow truck driver for Springfield on one condition: that Homer stay off of Louie's turf in Mookington. When Homer gets a little too "tow happy," the residents of Springfield set Homer up to look like he's towing in Louie's territory, and Homer must suffer the wrath. With Homer missing, the newly independent Maggie is spurred to action.

Kodo asks them to help him obtain a long list of devices so he can reconnect with his home planet, but his intentions prove to be anything but friendly.

Hymn to Apollo
Other Poems of John Keats→
God of the golden bow,
And of the golden lyre,
And of the golden hair,
And of the golden fire,
Of the patient year,
Where—where slept thine ire,
When like a blank idiot I put on thy wreath,
Thy laurel, thy glory,
The light of thy story,
Or was I a worm—too low crawling for death?
O Delphic Apollo!
The Thunderer grasp’d and grasp’d,
The Thunderer frown’d and frown’d;
The eagle’s feathery mane
For wrath became stiffen’d—the sound
Of breeding thunder
Went drowsily under,
Muttering to be unbound.
O why didst thou pity, and beg for a worm?
Why touch thy soft lute
Till the thunder was mute,
Why was I not crush’d—such a pitiful germ?
O Delphic Apollo!
The Pleiades were up,
Watching the silent air;
The seeds and roots in Earth
Were swelling for summer fare;
The Ocean, its neighbour,
Was at his old labour,
When, who—who did dare
To tie for a moment, thy plant round his brow,
And grin and look proudly,
And blaspheme so loudly,
And live for that honour, to stoop to thee now?
O Delphic Apollo!

Musings from Madrid
El Ocejón
I have set myself a challenge this year – to climb 30 of the highest or most important peaks in Madrid and Guadalajara before I myself turn 30 (on June 30th). One of the great things about this challenge is that it is forcing me to explore places I’ve never been to, so, after nearly 4 years of living in Madrid, I finally head to the neighbouring mountains of Guadalajara – the Sierra de Ayllón.
This area of Spain, just a 2-hour drive from Madrid is one of the most sparsely-populated areas in Europe. The mountains here stand out like an island amidst the flat, castillian plateau. Semi-abandoned villages dot the mountainsides, forests sweep the valleys. If you are looking to get away from city life I can’t imagine a more perfect setting.
Our base for the weekend is the picturesque Valverde de los Arroyos, named as one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, it is nestled beneath the vertiginous north face of Ocejón and stands above a deep valley of oak forest. Ocejón itself, rising 2,049m high, is the highest peak in this area and towers over its neighbours.
We set off from Valverde de los Arroyos at 10am, it’s a crisp, clear morning with not a breath of wind – perfect weather. Dew glistens in the morning sun. The valley is alive with colours; from deep pine-green to smooth yellow and fiery orange as the trees here ready themselves for winter. We crunch through fallen chestnuts and breathe in the balsamic tones of wild lavender.
After 25 minutes we reach the Chorreras deDespeñalagua; a dramatic succession of waterfalls cascading 80 metres down the cliff face. We are here in November, so the falls are not in full-flow. Spring surely is the best time to visit and I am told that in winter it is not uncommon to see the falls frozen solid.
We sit and take in the view, completely alone. Rocky (our dog) is happily playing in the pools below the falls. He emerges clean and smiling and proceeds to roll around in the muddiest puddle he can find. Retracing our steps slightly we take a path that takes us steeply up above the falls. Ocejón emerges into view from behind a dense pine forest.
The path leads us alongside old dry stone walls, everywhere we look there are signs of man’s influence here now long abandoned. There are very few villages in this area that are still populated during the week, most now solely cater to weekend tourists (like us). I can understand why people are saddened by this, we’re losing our heritage. Yet, as more people move to cities, it is a great chance for nature to have a comeback (much needed here in Europe) – wolves have recently returned to the mountains of Madrid, and this area is famed for its biodiversity.
Our path winds through dense undergrowth, we jump over running streams and duck under low trees. Eventually the path emerges into the open and we see the pull to the summit – a steep, exposed face, littered with shrubs and rocks rising 500 metres to the summit. On either side, rocky shoulders cage us in. Through occasional breaks in the rock we see the mountains of Guadarrama far in the distance, shrouded in cloud.
After an hour and a half of constant uphill, including a steep final push, we emerge onto the summit crest and the landscape opens up before us. We are rewarded with spectacular 360 degree views as the ground falls away dramatically. Vultures circle below, their brown plumage contrasting with the green of the forests beneath us.
Sheltered amongst the rocks below the summit lies a memorial to a man who loved this mountain so much he climbed it 200 times in his life. A true testament to the impact landscape can have on one’s life and the pull of the great outdoors. However, 200 to me seems excessive; there are endless more mountains waiting for me, including many more that need to be scaled before my next birthday. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '087b56e65021ce2fae1630c8cb09919f749d948a52a1bb825678006e24ef20ed'} |

We will always try to make meaningful perceptions in a seemingly random setting. This is one thing that is right now a major differentiator between humans and bots, so that captchas rely on how well we can perceive something in an image. Gestalt in German language means shape or form and a branch of psychology that deals with perceiving things is called Gestalt psychology. Due to this ability, we have grouped random set of stars in different places as constellations; we perceive a human smile when we use a colon and a bracket.
When we take an eye test, the optometrist writes down the values for how well we can see. It is technically called visual acuity test. Visual acuity values determines what glasses you need to wear to have a normal vision. Similar to visual acuity, our ability to perceive things from seemingly random settings is called perceptual acuity. Sadly there is no way to measure one’s perceptual acuity but increase in that is directly related to business success.
3945354161_16d1884f84On our day to day life our ability to form hypotheses based on our perceptions, testing it out and holding on strongly to validated hypotheses contributes to our growth. Our ability to come up with hypotheses is directly proportional to the way we perceive our world. Our perceptions become better only when we expand our interests to a wide variety, not just the in the field of work we are involved.
All the time we spend time on sports, current affairs, politics, technology, music and many more will collectively help improve the way we perceive our world. Of course spending dedicated deliberate effort on a field makes one an expert in that field, but that makes someone a doer not a creator; we need to be an expert in a field as well as be able to create something. Our world is a perpetual puzzle, those who solve larger pieces gets the better reward.

A reduction in RNA polymerase II initiation rate suppresses hyper-recombination and transcription-elongation impairment of THO mutants.
Hrs1/Med3, a component of the Mediator involved in transcription initiation, was previously isolated as a suppressor of hpr1Delta hyper-recombination linked to transcription elongation. Here we show that hrs1Delta-mediated suppression is specific of transcription-associated hyper-recombination (TAR). The decrease in recombination associated with hrs1Delta, either in wild-type or hpr1Delta cells is only observed in DNA repeats constructs in which transcription is Hrs1-dependent. We propose that the suppression of THO mutants by hrs1Delta is due to the specific effect of hrs1Delta on transcription initiation of the recombination system. In parallel we show that the higher the transcription of a gene the more important becomes the THO complex for its expression, implying that the in vivo relevance of this complex is dependent on the frequency of RNAPII transcription initiation. This study furthers the understanding of the importance of THO in transcription and the maintenance of genome stability. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ed497f960b73f045a187482059e9895d20c8abf865b5bfb12fb71bb310e1d5ee'} |
Body weight: the male and female perception.
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between actual body weight, characterization of one's weight, and satisfaction with it. 246 students of medicine in the third (clinical) stage of their studies at the University of Vienna responded to a questionnaire asking about their weight and attitudes regarding their personal body weight. The results indicate that many young women and men are either unable to characterize their weight (as normal, underweight, overweight, or obese) or guess incorrectly. The results point to the fact that a lot of women and men do not estimate their body weight in correspondence to the valid definition of the BMI. Women in particular seem to model themselves more on the current beauty ideal than men. Women seem to be more influenced by the current ideal of slenderness than their male counterparts. Women are more frequently dissatisfied with their weight, and see themselves as considerably heavier than they actually are. Because of this perception, women attempt to reduce weight more often than men. This type of dissatisfaction with one's body weight and excessive attention paid to body image, particularly weight, are considered as risk factors for the development of eating disorders. Not surprisingly, women are significantly more prone to these conditions than are men. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '3b4a3568d6b2becc88a14b2075fc94b437599ce38ae47cad1cf6e32a1ee1150b'} |
