The ability Azurite has to help people travel through human anxieties and fears is remarkable. This energy was called upon many times in the initiations of the Atlanteans and later the Egyptian and Mayan ceremonies. The vibration of Azurite penetrates the veil between the human world and the subconscious layers.
Here is what the Crystal Oversouls have to say about this special crystal "The Azurite Oversoul opens intuitive channels that deepen internal communication, knowing and trust. The mandala is built up of layers of dark and light shades of cobalt blue. 8 beings, the combined Oversoul consciousness, stand tall in intensely rich cobalt blue coloured robes and radiant light, looking deep within our eyes. They need to know if we are ready for this initiation. We recognize that we are in the company of High Priests as the beings have an incredible atmosphere of authority about them. They surround us; take us with their own unified light-body into the inner sanctum of the mandala. Once inside, we see that the whole space is a rich cobalt blue that has begun to pervade our consciousness. We are asked to stand in the centre of the inner sanctum where we are surrounded by the Azurite beings that raise their robes and gather their energies together to create a mandala. They direct their vibrational intent towards us, in particular our third eye chakra that vibrates to match the frequency of their focused energy. In a flash we see with our inner eye - we see beyond form, beyond the veil. We perceive worlds that lay out of ordinary sight. We see ourselves as multi-layered and that we are more than our physical body. From this perspective we know that we are essentially light that cannot die."

When buildings, bridges and similar structures are to be demolished there are diverse techniques are known for demolishing the structures. In particular, the structures may include a number of columns typically used to support the structure. The columns are pole-shaped constructions that may be made of concrete and may include steel reinforcements.
One of these known techniques is to place explosives at strategically chosen positions and causing detonation of the explosives in the expectation and hope that the structure will thereby collapse. A drawback of this known technique however is that when the explosives are detonated debris can fall in the wide vicinity, so that elaborate measures are necessary to guarantee the safety of the surrounding area. Yet another aspect is the noise nuisance. A detonation of explosives is accompanied by tremendous noise. Various drawbacks of the use of explosives are thus known.
Another of these known techniques employs a single hammer, which in use requires carefully placement of multiple impacts. Yet another technique employs column drivers that strike the column from multiple sides but have bending loads in the tools that are suspended from a crane above.
The disclosed system is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above and/or other problems of the prior art. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5af791222926af3f0f25faad0b100381a500dd8106773f53b774776667c4c2d7'} |

Still too many blanks/unknowns with the investigation. So the kids were out when they shouldn't have been-we can all agree on that. Should it have cost them their lives? Of course not. Look to the adults involved: the driver especially, and the owner of the 'car', for some accountability. One report said the driver had no license-another said she never had one. She has paid for her transgression with her life. Just lucky she didn't T-bone a car full of early morning church goers. Secondly- the owner of this vehicle needs to be checked out a lot closer-maybe he did know the car was borrowed. Why the delay in reporting it missing[stolen?]

It's a horrible tragedy and one preventative approach might be technology to make it harder- close to impossible- to drive away in a vehicle that you weren't entitled to. Thumb or finger-print recognition sensors on the dashboard tied into the ignition system for instance. That way, unless the on board computer, recognized you, the vehicle wouldn't start. Also, chemical detection sensors that wouldn't allow an intoxicated driver to start a vehicle.
We need to do more to protect teens from themselves as well as disabled drivers who shouldn't be on the road. The technology for it exists- we just need to implement it.

Compared to his production, Pro Bowl running back DeMarco Murray is expected to get a modest contract offer from the Dallas Cowboys. Murray led the NFL with 1,845 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns last season, but it's unlikely he will break the bank in Dallas.
With that in mind, how much is tailback C.J. Spiller worth to the Buffalo Bills?

Buffalo's former first-round pick is an unrestricted free agent coming off an injury-plagued season in which he rushed for just 300 yards on 74 carries. Spiller tied a career low with 3.8 yards per carry, and didn't score a single rushing touchdown in nine games. Still, the Bills intend to make a push to bring Spiller back next season.
Spiller had his best years in 2012 and 2013, when he rushed for a combined 2,177 yards and 10 total touchdowns. Those will be the seasons Spiller's representation points to when negotiating his value.
However, Buffalo has the market in its favor. Running backs are one of the NFL's most disposable commodities. Last year's top free-agent tailbacks -- Ben Tate (two years, $6.2 million), Maurice Jones-Drew (three years, $7.5 million), Darren McFadden (one year, $4 million) and Knowshon Moreno (one year, $3 million) -- all received team-friendly contracts.
Spiller most likely will get an offer in the range of these aforementioned players, who average between $2.5 million and $4 million per season. Also, expect the Bills to keep an eye on the situation with the Cowboys, who will set the top of this year's tailback market with Murray.
The Bills should be careful not to overpay for Spiller. With new head coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Buffalo will be a power-running team in 2015. That doesn't necessarily fit Spiller's strengths. Therefore, paying Spiller top money wouldn't make a lot of sense, especially since Buffalo has other needs to address this offseason.
The franchise tag is projected to be about $11 million for running backs in 2015. So that option is out for Spiller. Soon-to-be-former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is the highest-paid player at his position with an average salary of $9 million per year. But those paydays for running backs appear to be in the rearview mirror.
The Bills-Spiller situation will be another interesting case study for free-agent running backs. Look for Buffalo to make a push for Spiller, but only within reason. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '01c8de55a8a23143295663df7f6ab544e3e839d9fa361022ef4c73d94c625ae1'} |
Introduction
============
Laryngeal carcinoma is the second most common neoplasm occurring in the head and neck region, with high levels of invasion and metastasis ([@b1-mmr-13-06-5045],[@b2-mmr-13-06-5045]). Due to low survival rates, determining how to improve quality of life and survival rates in patients with laryngeal cancer remains a significant challenge ([@b3-mmr-13-06-5045]). The most frequently used treatment is chemotherapy, and chemotherapeutic agents, including cisplatin, gefitinib, taxol and doxorubicin, are used experimentally or clinically to improve the prognosis of patients with laryngeal cancer ([@b4-mmr-13-06-5045],[@b5-mmr-13-06-5045]). However, due to multidrug resistance-induced therapeutic failure and poor prognosis, more efficient chemotherapeutic agents and novel agent combinations are required to improve the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
Genistein, a soy-derived isoflavone, exhibits broad tumor suppressive effects in various types of human cancer by regulating several signaling pathways, including the mitogen-actived protein kinase, Akt and Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription ([@b6-mmr-13-06-5045]--[@b8-mmr-13-06-5045]). However, current knowledge of its role in regulating laryngeal cancer cell biofunction is limited to its inhibition of HEp-2 cell growth ([@b9-mmr-13-06-5045]), and more detailed investigations of its function and mechanism are required.
As the combining of chemotherapeutic agents has been a common and effective clinical strategy for cancer therapy, the present study aimed to identify compounds, which can improve the effects of genistein in preventing the progression of laryngeal cancer. Epigenetic modifications have been found to be important in cancer development and, correspondingly, compounds regulating this event are currently considered as promising anticancer agents ([@b10-mmr-13-06-5045],[@b11-mmr-13-06-5045]). Tricho-statin A (TSA) is known to be a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylases, and effectively arrests cell growth and induces apoptosis in various types of human cancer cell, including prostate, colorectal, breast and gastric cancer ([@b12-mmr-13-06-5045],[@b13-mmr-13-06-5045]). At present, there is a lack of information regarding the effects of TSA on laryngeal carcinoma, therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the combined effects of genistein and TSA on laryngeal cancer treatment.
The results of the present study, demonstrated that TSA improved genistein-induced tumor suppression in human laryngeal cancer cells. The data obtained confirmed that TSA potentiated the anti-laryngeal cancer action of genistein via promoting apoptosis and reversing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Materials and methods
=====================
Antibodies and growth factors
-----------------------------
The antibodies used in the present study included monoclonal rabbit anti-E-cadherin (cat. no. 24E10), monoclonal rabbit anti-vimentin (cat. no. 5741S), monoclonal rabbit anti-B cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2 (cat. no. 2870) and monoclonal rabbit anti-Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax; cat. no. 14796) primary antibodies obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Dallas, TX, USA). Monoclonal mouse anti-PARP (1:1,000; cat. no sc-8007; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), monoclonal rabbit Akt (1:1,000; cat. no. 4691; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), monoclonal rabbit anti-pAkt (1:500; cat. no. 4060; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), monoclonal mouse anti-S6 (1:1,000; cat. no. 2317; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), monoclonal rabbit anti-pS6 (1:200; cat. no. 4858; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), monoclonal rabbit anti-4eBP (1:100; cat. no. 9452; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), monoclonal rabbit anti-p4eBP (1:100; cat. no. 2855; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and monclonal rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:2,000; cat. no. sc-25778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) primary antibodies were also used. Polyclonal goat anti-rabbit (cat. no. A21020) and goat anti-mouse (cat. no. A21010) secondary antibodies were purchased from Abbkine, Inc. (Redlands, CA, USA). Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were purchased from PeproTech, Inc. (Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Genistein and TSA were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) and were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China).
Cell culture
------------
The HEp2 human laryngeal cancer cell line was purchased from SIBS Cell Bank (Shanghai, China) and cultured in high-glucose Dulbecco\'s modified Eagle\'s medium (DMEM; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The medium was renewed every day and the cells were passaged prior to reaching confluence.
EMT induction in the HEp-2 cells
--------------------------------
EMT was achieved when the 1×10^4^ HEp-2 cells were stimulated with EGF (30 ng/ml) for 48 h at 37°C. Subsequently, the cells were treated with genistein (20 *μ*M) or genistein+TSA (20 *μ*M: 100 nM), in the presence or absence of EGF, for another 48 h at 37°C. Alterations in cell morphology were documented by visualization using an inverted phase contrast microscope (DFC500; Leica Microsystems GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany).
Western blotting
----------------
The HEp-2 cells were harvested and washed once with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and further lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer with phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.). Protein concentrations were determined using a Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). SDS-PAGE (12% gel) was utilized to separate equal quantities (20 *μ*g) of the proteins, which were then electrically transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Chalfont, UK), and blocked with 5% fat free milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween (TBST) buffer for 1 h at room temperature. Individual membranes were further incubated with appropriately diluted primary antibodies (1:1,000) overnight at 4°C. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5,000) were then applied for 2 h at room temperature following three intensive washes in TBST. The HRP substrate gives rise to the final images using electrochemiluminescence (Western Bright kit; cat. no. R-03031-D25; Advansta, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA), visualized following X-film development \[Fujifilm (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China\].
Invasion assay
--------------
Transwell inserts (Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY, USA) were pre-coated with 50 *μ*l Matrigel (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and placed into wells of a 12-well culture plate. Equal quantities of HEp-2 cells (2×10^5^) were seeded into the upper chamber in culture medium, and cell invasion was determined at 24 h following the addition of the chemo-attractant, of FBS, to the lower chamber. The invasive cells were visualized using 0.1% crystal violet staining (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.) following fixation with 4% para-formaldehyde (PFA) and imaged using a DFC500 microscope (Leica Microsystems GmbH). Subsequent quantification was performed using the mean numbers of cells counted from five randomly selected fields (magnification, ×200). The data were summarized from three independent experiments.
Wound healing assay
-------------------
HEp-2 cells (2×10^5^) were seeded in 6-well plates. After 24 h, the cells were serum starved for 12 h. A linear wound was created using a pipette tip and the cells were washed three times using PBS. Subsequently, the cells were cultured in medium supplemented with 1% FBS. Wounds were then assessed after 24 h. Images of 3 random fields were captured 24 h after the scratch wound using a Leica DFC500 microscope (magnification, ×200). The migration distance (arbitrary units) was determined as reduction in the wounds gap using NIH Image J software (version 1.32; National Institute of Health, Bethesda MD, USA).
Cell viability
--------------
Equal quantities of HEp-2 cells (2.0×10^4^) were seeded into wells of a 96-well plate and further cultured for 24 h. The cells were then treated with genistein (1, 10, 20, 50 and 100 *μ*M) or TSA (10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 nM) for another 48 h at 37°C. This was followed by incubation for 4 h with MTT (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.) at a final concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, following which 100 *μ*l DMSO was added following removal of the medium. Cell viability was determined by measuring optical density (OD) at 490 nm (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). At least three independent experiments were performed, and the final inhibitory rates were determined according to the following formula: Inhibitory rate (%) = \[1−(OD490~compound~/OD490~solvent~)\] × 100%.
TUNEL assay
-----------
The HEp-2 cells were allowed to grow to 80% confluence and fixed with 4% PFA for 30 min, followed by permeation with 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.)/PBS on ice for 2 min. Following three washes with PBS, TUNEL reagent was applied for the detection of apoptotic events, according to manufacturer\'s protocol (Beyotian Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai,. China) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.) was used to stain the nuclei. The staining results were visualized and documented using an Olympus DP71X immunofluorescent microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) staining and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The staining protocol was performed, according to the manufacturer\'s protocol (BD Biosciences). Briefly, 5×10^5^ cells were harvested centrifugation at 1,000 × g for 5 min at room temperature and suspended in 195 *μ*l binding buffer, followed by incubation for 10 min with 5 *μ*l Annexin V-FITC at room temperature in the dark. Following additional centrifugation at 1,000 × g for 5 min at room temperature, the cells were resuspended in 190 *μ*l binding buffer with 10 *μ*l propidium iodide (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.) under gentle agitation. FACS was performed using the BD Accuri C6 (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo software (version 7.6.2; Tree Star, Inc., Ashland, OR, USA) to detect apoptotic events.

TSA enhances the inhibitory effect of genistein on HEp-2 cell growth
--------------------------------------------------------------------
To evaluate whether genistein or TSA affect cell viability, the HEp-2 cells were separately incubated with the compounds, at a range of concentrations, for 2 days. Using an MTT assay, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC~50~) of genistein was determined as \~20 *μ*M, and TSA as 100 nM ([Fig. 1A](#f1-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). The combined treatment strategy of genistein (20 *μ*M) and TSA (100 nM) led to a more marked reduction in HEp-2 cell viability, compared with the individual compound treatments. This occurred in a time-dependent manner between 12 and 48 h ([Fig. 1B--D](#f1-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). To confirm this, a 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine incorporation assay was performed. Cell proliferation was detected following treatment with genistein and TSA, alone or in combination, for 24 h. It was found that the combined treatment with genistein (20 *μ*M) and TSA (100 nM) resulted in a marked decrease in cell proliferation ([Fig. 1E and F](#f1-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). A similar result was obtained in the single colony formation assay, indicating that the combination treatment had a more marked effect in impairing the ability of HEp-2 cells to form colonies, compared with any of the individual treatments. ([Fig. 1G and H](#f1-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}).
TSA has an additive effect on the antagonistic effects of genistein on EGF-induced EMT in HEp-2 cells
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To assess the role of genistein (20 *μ*M), TSA (100 nM) and genistein+TSA (20 *μ*M:100 nM) on EGF-induced EMT phenotype and mensenchymal gene expression levels, the HEp-2 cells were treated with genistein (20 *μ*M), TSA (100 nM) or geinstein+TSA (20 *μ*M:100 nM) in the presence or absence of EGF for 48 h. EGF increased the numbers of cells with spindle-like shapes and loss of cell-cell contact, a typical phenotype of EMT ([Fig. 2A](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}; red arrow), associated with an increase in the expression of vimentin ([Fig. 2B](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). Treatment with genistein alone led to EGF-induced EMT ([Fig. 2A](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}; apoptotic cells indicated by green arrow), increased the expression of E-cadherin and reduced the expression of vimentin ([Fig. 2B](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}), these effects were amplified by treatment with genistein+TSA. In addition, the results of the Transwell invasion assay revealed that genistein inhibited EGF-induced HEp-2 cell invasion, although this was less marked, compared with combined treatment with genistein and TSA ([Fig. 2C](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). Subsequently, a scratch wound migration assay was performed. A marked decrease in cell migration was observed 48 h following treatment with genistein+TSA ([Fig. 2D](#f2-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}).
TSA promotes genistein-induced HEp2 cell apoptosis
--------------------------------------------------
Following the observation of visible apoptotic cellular morphology ([Fig. 3A](#f3-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activation in the genistein+TSA treated HEp2 cells ([Fig. 3B](#f3-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}), the present study investigated the extent to which genistein and TSA induce HEp2 cells apoptosis. Following 48 h treatment with genstein, TSA or geinstein+TSA, Annexin V/PI staining demonstrated an elevation in the apoptotic population of cells in the genistein- and the TSA-treated cells (14.5 and 11.2%, respectively), however, a more marked increase of 40.3% was detected in the cells in the combined treatment group ([Fig. 3C and D](#f3-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}). In addition, the TUNEL assay revealed similar results to those observed in the Annexin V/PI staining, with the most marked levels of apoptosis observed in the combined treatment group ([Fig. 3E and F](#f3-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}).
Combined treatment of TSA and genistein inhibits Akt signaling in HEp2 cells
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Akt pathway is central in controlling cell apoptosis, the present study further detected the effects of genistein, TSA and genistein+TSA on the activation of Akt and its downstream molecules. Although the phosphorylation levels of Akt, S6 and 4eBP1 were detectable in the genistein- and TSA-treated cells, inhibition appeared more marked following combined treatment with Genstein and TSA ([Fig. 4A](#f4-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}), leading to an additive increase in the protein expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decrease in the protein expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 ([Fig. 4B](#f4-mmr-13-06-5045){ref-type="fig"}).
Discussion
==========
Although currently used chemotherapeutic treatments improve the prognosis of patients, the identification of improved combined treatment strategies remains a requirement for improving the survival rates of patients diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. The present study aimed to identify efficient drugs for use in laryngeal cancer therapy, and to evaluate whether or not the combined effects of these drugs offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
As common chemotherapeutic drugs, genistein and TSA separately exert tumor suppressive effects in different types of human cancer, including breast ([@b8-mmr-13-06-5045]), gastric ([@b13-mmr-13-06-5045]), lung ([@b14-mmr-13-06-5045],[@b15-mmr-13-06-5045]) and prostate cancer ([@b16-mmr-13-06-5045]), through various mechanisms. However, the combined consequence of the two compounds, and their respective effects on the biological function of laryngeal cancer cells remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, genistein and TSA were found to have significant, although mild effects leading to reduced cell viability, colony formation and invasion, and increased apoptosis. Compared with other cancer cells, the tumor-repressing effects of Genstein and TSA on the HEp2 cells differed, which may explained by the varied genetic backgrounds of cells. The present study also investigated the combined contribution of genistein and TSA on laryngeal cancer growth. The concentrations of genistein and TSA used were 20 and 100 nM, respectively, determined as the IC~50~ values for the individual compounds in the cell viability assay, to generate this level of inhibition without any further additive cell toxicity and avoid false positive effects caused by additive cell toxicity. Compared with the effects of the individual drugs, the combined treatment led to marked attenuation in HEp-2 cell viability, colony formation and invasion, and marked promotion of apoptosis, indicating an efficient strategy for suppressing HEp-2 cell growth.
The present study then aimed to examine the mechanism underlying genistein+TSA-induced suppression of laryngeal cancer cells. Due to the marked reduction in invasive ability observed in the HEp2 cells following genistein+TSA treatment, it was hypothesized that this may link to HEp2 cell EMT, a crucial process with a fundamental role in controlling cell migration, invasion and metastasis ([@b17-mmr-13-06-5045]). In the present study, EGF was used to trigger HEp2 cell EMT, which led to increased cell invasion accompanied by an upregulation in the mensenchymal maker gene, vimentin. Furthermore, the data experimentally confirmed that genistein alone was able to partially antagonize the EGF-induced cell invasion and expression of vimentin and induce the expression of the epithelial gene, E-cadherin, in the laryngeal cancer HEp-2 cells. These effects have also been observed in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells ([@b18-mmr-13-06-5045]) and prostate cancer cells ([@b16-mmr-13-06-5045]). In addition, combined treatment with TSA, a compound previously showing EMT suppression in prostate cancer PC3 cells ([@b17-mmr-13-06-5045]) and breast and gastric cancer cells, genistein completely reversed EGF-induced EMT, indicating the possibility that genistein+TSA suppressed cell growth and invasion through regulating cellular EMT. In addition, although the induction of apoptosis by genistein or TSA has been described in previous reports for other cancer cells, their effects on laryngeal cancer cell apoptosis remain to be elucidated. In the present study, it was observed that genistein or TSA had weak effect on the promotion of cell apoptosis, however, when the two compounds were applied in combination, a marked, but not additive, acceleration in apoptotic rate was observed in the HEp2 cells. In view of the signaling pathway, the present study confirmed that genistein or TSA partially suppressed the activation of Akt and its downstream molecules, however, their activation was completely eliminated by the combined treatment of genistein with TSA. The increased protein expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and a decreased protein expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 were also observed. Therefore, genistein and TSA jointly promoted laryngeal cancer cell apoptosis via silencing the activation of the Akt pathway.
Although the present study demonstrated that the combination of genistein+TSA exerted anti-laryngeal tumor effects in cultured HEp-2 cells, fundamental *in vivo* investigations are required. For this purpose, future *in vivo* experiments aim to evaluate the pharmacological efficiency of genistein+TSA on laryngeal cancer therapy in experimental animals.
In conclusion, the present study was the first, to the best of our knowledge, to report that genistein and TSA possess anti-aryngeal cancer properties, and further identified the novel drug combination of genistein+TSA for laryngeal cancer therapy, which demonstrated marked advantages in suppressing cell growth and invasion, and promoting apoptosis via the reversal of EMT and quenching of Akt activation in HEp-2 cells. These results may provide a basis for the clinical application of genistein and TSA in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.

(NewsUSA) - Vacations should be a time of rest, relaxation and adventure. For too many travelers, they're anything but. A double whammy of stress and anxiety on top of an already compromised immune system is a formula for disaster, sending many jet-setters home sick as dogs. Fortunately, a few essential items are all you need for a safe and healthy getaway. Be prepared for the inevitable with these five health and safety tips:
Bring a first aid kit. While you can't guard against all accidents, you can foresee the minor surprises with some degree of probability. Have something handy to relieve headaches, diarrhea and insect bites. Your "just in case" kit should also have bandages and plenty of antihistamines. You might not know that you're allergic to certain plants or insects until it's too late.
Keep your hands clean. Wash your hands often, especially before eating, to ward off germs and viruses. Rely on hand sanitizer when there is no running water available. Use wet wipes to make sure the surfaces you touch frequently are kept as clean as possible.
Beware of pests. Check the seams of your mattress, cracks and crevices of the headboard, nightstand and drawers for critters or droppings.
Stay hydrated. In a plane or on the road, it's important to stay hydrated while in transit to prevent achy muscles and deep vein thrombosis. At your destination, rely on bottled water for hydration to ward off various bacteria, viruses and other parasites that can cause diarrhea. If you need to use tap water, pack purification tablets just to be safe.
Remember your smartphone. It's a guidebook, GPS, Internet connection, dictionary, camera, alarm clock and restaurant-business-movie theater-gas station-and more locator. It's also a phone that can be used for emergencies anywhere you are. Don't forget to pack yours in case of emergencies. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9429522156715392}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '84094', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VLMAGLS4BEA6G6BA7WGWGLI7MMBW5NZI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6e5133f5-9a15-49be-9b4a-219991fe5d9e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 20, 13, 25, 36), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.15.7.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VJ7Z57Y6BO6UOJFFT64HYT6E3C4CR5O3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d2d53562-6239-4b2d-b54a-d1e34939256d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.click2houston.com/lifestyle/2abetteryou/emergency-care/Follow-safety-tips-when-traveling-to-avoid-hospitals/12997526', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:558ea7aa-695a-4a99-8158-0684b666df57>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '301', 'url': 'http://www.click2houston.com/lifestyle/2abetteryou/emergency-care/Follow-safety-tips-when-traveling-to-avoid-hospitals/12997526', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03217267990112305', 'original_id': 'd8f933571afde78313e9968ff00cf5cfd67b4b9fdec7a04554d0cba93a0d137c'} |
« Highly respected LaCava takes turn in interview room | Main | More on the GM search: Watson, Jennings, etc »
October 20, 2011
Thoughts on the GM search and why Dipoto is the favorite
The Orioles have interviewed two candidates so far for the position vacated this month by president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail.
Jerry Dipoto, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ senior vice president of scouting and player development, met with the interviewing committee Tuesday, and Tony LaCava, the Toronto Blue Jays’ assistant general manager and director of player personnel, met with the group Wednesday.
It’s been expected that the Orioles will interview a couple more, but you can basically take Florida Marlins assistant general manager Dan Jennings out of the conversation. The Marlins have pretty much denied permission to talk to him, though perhaps not formally yet.
Thad Levine, the Texas Rangers’ assistant general manager and a Northern Virginia native, could get an interview, but he’s obviously a little busy right now with his Rangers and the World Series.
No matter who else comes in -- if anyone -- I think it will likely come down to Dipoto and LaCava. Both are well-respected and highly coveted options – ranked Dipoto as No. 1 and LaCava as No. 6 in its prospective GMs list – and both have interviewed for other GM jobs in the past.
The Orioles couldn’t go wrong with either. Both are originally East Coast guys: Dipoto is from New Jersey, and LaCava is from, and still lives in, Pittsburgh. Both have backgrounds in scouting and development, which the Orioles could desperately use.
And both seemingly want this job, with its warts and all. There are only 30 such positions in baseball, and both of these guys have waited their turns and desire an opportunity to implement their own policies and strategies in hopes of turning around a once-proud franchise.
Dipoto probably gets the edge, though, because he is a former big leaguer and has previously held a GM position, albeit on an interim basis. During his two-month stint last year, he made a couple of gutsy trades that helped Arizona land pitchers Daniel Hudson (for Edwin Jackson) and Joe Saunders and top prospect Tyler Skaggs (in a package for Dan Haren).
Although he’s never worked with Showalter, Dipoto played against Showalter-led teams in New York and Arizona while he was with the Colorado Rockies, New York Mets and Cleveland Indians. They didn’t overlap with the Diamondbacks, but they have mutual friends who did. So each should have a good idea what makes the other tick.
Dipoto also will be interviewed by the Los Angeles Angels for their vacant GM job, but – and this will sound strange to Orioles fans – it’s conceivable that Dipoto would prefer this one. Yes, the Angels are better and aren’t in the American League East.
But they, too, have an owner and a manager with strong personalities and a farm system that has been depleted. They have a larger payroll but also are stuck with some bad contracts. Certainly, they are much closer to winning, but that may not be as appealing to a first-time GM like Dipoto (or LaCava) as you’d imagine. Unlike managers and players, GMs like implementing their own visions – and that’s much easier to do with a club in need of a true rebuild. And, let’s face it, the Orioles need to undergo a fairly extensive rebuilding effort, especially in the minors.
And here is something that can’t be discounted: The Angels are rumored to be interviewing a boatload of top candidates. The process could take a while and, just by sheer numbers, Dipoto has a lesser chance of landing that one. The Orioles right now are at two candidates, likely won’t go much higher than that, and have shown a willingness to get this done sooner than later. So Dipoto, conceivably, could have an offer in hand from the Orioles while waiting on the Angels’ next move. And it’s often better to have an Oriole in hand …
I know you’ve heard that “sooner than later” nonsense before. And the Orioles rarely do anything swiftly. But, remember, when the club hired MacPhail, it was done by Peter Angelos in a clandestine weekend.
Plus, there’s a PR slant to this for a team that could wear bridesmaid uniforms on the field for its legion of near misses. How bad would it look if the Orioles truly want Dipoto, drag their feet and then he goes to the Angels? Have you seen that movie before?
So I wouldn’t be surprised if the Orioles made a move quickly. Maybe even agreeing to a contract with someone before the World Series ends – even if the announcement came later.
And I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if that person is Dipoto.
Dan - You said Dipoto is the clear favorite but the O's would also be fortunate to have Lacava too. Being there won't be too many other interviews, does that mean the Orioles already knew who they wanted to begin with? Anyway, I find Lacava interesting because he's a former scout who is big into using advanced statistics. Kind of a strange paralell.
Dave, no insight on that. I just think Dipoto is more likely to get the job. When that emerged, I don't know. But, again, I don't want to discount LaCava, who as you point out is an excellent candidate too.
I have never understood why you'd think (as expressed in the past) that someone would be reluctant to take the Orioles GM position. What's to lose? The Orioles are pretty close to the bottom. They can only get better(or stay the same); results can't get much worse. McPhail made some good trades but, for the team, there's so much room for improvement. I would think the Orioles would be appealing, especially for a newly-minted GM.
Except some look at it as an impossible situation where good baseball men have failed in the past 14 seasons. True, there is nowhere to go but up, unless there is nowhere to go at all. Ultimately, there are 30 GM positions. So, given that, they are all desirable jobs.
No attempted humor. No top ten. This time. But some random thoughts on two men I know nothing about.
What does an assistant GM do during a World Series that makes him "a little busy right now"? I realize asking for permission during the post-season is bad form, but I would almost think there would be a certain degree of down time, too.
Why is being a former major leaguer an advantage? The Orioles had two in their own front office once upon a time -- Frank Robinson and Mike Flanagan -- and that seemed to go nowhere. I'm not sure there would be that long of a list of former major leaguers turned successful GM's.
From your descriptions of the two men, I would give LaCava the edge. Both men have dabbled in farm system development but LaCava has vast experience as a scout. That should give him an edge in knowing what he's looking for from a team of scouts. If he has received kudos for international scouting, that certainly gets my attention.
There are two other elements I have to wonder about. One, an edge seems to be given to Dipoto because he and Showalter may know how each other ticks. Perhaps. But is that really an advantage? I have to think the interviewing process should shed more light on the potential communication process.
Two, while both men may prefer the Oriole job over others for your stated reasons (which make sense, by the way), wouldn't LaCava's dealings within the AL East pose as a built-in advantage?
Dipoto pulling off two trades in two months -- as an interim, no less -- certainly makes him desireable in my book. MacPhail has been discussed to death but I must point out he usually gets his highest marks for his trades. I always thought that was rather short-sighted because there were so few of them. To me, this is his biggest plus.
On the other hand, I like in addition to LaCava's personal experience, his reported affinity for statistics. Mark Twain had no use for it (luckily for all that he was, he didn't need to), but it takes the right person to understand stats and put them into a context. Just saying, "Oh, goody, he's got 38 HR's," isn't actually painting a complete picture.
Both seem like good men. We all know the x-factors involved. But one last thought -- Why is being a so-called bridesmaid such a bad thing? Two examples: The Ravens could be stuck with Jason Garrett ... The Orioles signed Albert Belle as a knee-jerk reaction to Rafael Palmeiro returning to Texas.
Don't get me wrong. This team shouldn't dawdle on hiring. An overlap with the new hire and MacPhail would also be preferred. If one of these guys stands out, toss him the keys. If both do, choose one. Interviewing six or eight people just for the sake of numbers doesn't make sense.
Wasp: Good post as always. So much here hard to comment on all. But three points.
1. Maybe "busy" is the wrong word. Let's say Levine is a little bit "distracted" right now with the Rangers in the World Series. If they want to talk to him, it'd probably be best to wait a week or so.
2. I'm not saying big-league playing experience is key for a GM, but it is one thing that Buck Showalter dosn't bring to the table. And last year the 6 top members of the club's front office had no big-league playing experience. Being able to add that is not crucial, but it is a nice caveat when no one else has it among the decision-makers.
3. LaCava is an excellent candidate as well. If they hire one of these two, they've landed a good baseball man. Whether he has success here is an unknown.
Not a very good Photoshop job on the picture!
After the Diamondbacks won the 2001 World Series, they slumped badly for a few years. But as their great performance this year shows, their front office knows how to rebuild. The caveat is that the D-backs rebuilt under competent ownership, which is not a factor in the Os equation
But,will he take the job,if it's offered to him?
Why isn't John Hart in the equation?
Would you want a job riding a bicycle if you knew that someone was riding alongside ready to put a stick in your spokes? Just the knowledge it has happened before and could possibly happen again would deter all except the desperate.
What about that asian woman (im blanking on the name) in the Dodgers organization? I hear she's top notch! Why hasn't she gotten any consideration?
She's actually w MLB now. And I dont know why certain people haven't gotten consideration, I just haven't heard her name in conjunction with the Orioles
I respectfully have to say that I believe you're way off in your claim that Dipoto may prefer this job over the Angels job. Your points about their farm system are valid, but its no worse than the situation here. Baseball America has them listed 15, O's at 21. Plus, they have some of their top prospect in the bigs already (i.e. Trout) as opposed to us having Machado, Bundy etc still awhile away.
Yes bad contracts, notably the Wells contract, but so do the O's in Markakis and the Angels are much more capable of swallowing a bad deal like that.
Plus, Arte Moreno a respected owner. Peter, definitely not. Even though Moreno is strong headed, he's shown the willingness to do anything to win. Dipoto wouldn't have to worry about his owner vetoing a trade as Peter has been known to do.
We'll see. If Dipoto is offered and taks the job -- before the Angels make a decision -- you owe me a soda. Cool?
I appreciate your article, but it seems to be wishful thinking that Dipoto would prefer the O's to the Angels. Over the last eight years the Angels are in a virtual tie with the Red Sox as the second winningest franchise in all of baseball behind the Yankees. The Angels won 86 games and had the best pitching staff in the American league, and that staff looks to be better next year. They get MVP candidate Kendrys Morales back. next season. They have the number one rated prospect in baseball in Mike Trout. And their minor league system is depleted at triple-A, but the lower levels are loaded with high end talent that include power hitting CJ Cron, a left handed pitcher hitting 102MPH, Segura a five tool shortstop, and many more. He would be operating in a large market and easier division than the east. I do believe the Angels will lean toward Oppenheimer from the Yankees and Kin Ng, possibly the first female GM. I think the O's best chance is to make a strong offer now and turn the pressure up on Dipoto. Does he want to risk not being offered the Angel job? As you suggest, he has to battle much more competition. I do wonder why the O's aren't interviewing all the top tier candidates, of which there are many. Any insight in to why they are so sure bout these two individuals?
I agree whole heartedly with pat! My biggest problem with this interview process is that is has apparently turned into a “Match Race”. You ask what a “Match Race” is, well I will tell you. A Match Race is a race between two competitors; typically it happens between two “Outstanding Horses”. The last one I think of was the race between Foolish Pleasure and Ruffian which was a long time ago. I am not going to tell you what happened to “Poor” Ruffian except to say it wasn’t good. Anyway, back to baseball. These two gentlemen could very well be the answer to the Orioles woes! Unfortunately, they are woefully inexperienced and even have less experience in dealing with someone like Angelos. I will end this by saying, they really need to go out and find some more participants in this silly little game that they have created here in “Birdland”. I don’t care what kind of sorcery they can perform; they have one giant road block with Angelos. If Pat Gillick (An Exalted Sorcerer) meaning he had the ability to use the highest of all forms of sorcery and he couldn’t solve Angelos! What makes you think LaCava or Dipoto can? I mean we can't even find a half way decent third base coach for cripes sake!
would signing either as a declared GM mean that angelos no longer disapproves of that label? would it mean that he is really handing over the keys for a major, organization-wide overhaul? if so, i'd be thrilled.
You're on.
As strange as this opinion may seem I believe the Orioles should look strongly at the applicant who is working for the team with the best current minor league players.
Remember how MacPhail kept plucking guys from the Cubs and Twins? I am not necessarily suggesting doing that; I am suggesting that it is a natural phenomenum for a new GM to go where he is most knowledgeable and that would be his current team.
So, which of these teams has the next Jim Palmer stuck down in the minors?
The Os would only be appealing to a prospective GM, if the candidate understands that he has to build his team without money. He can't come in the door believing that he'll be able to do whatever is necessary to improve. Not many trade chips, unless you're looking at Markakis, Reynolds, or maybe Luke Scott.
Won't matter who is GM. When owner does not spend $$$, you don't win in AL East. Plain and simple. I think my kids will grow old before the Orioles are .500.
I feel sorry for what Dipoto is about to experience in Baltimore if he makes the foolish decision to work for PA. PA is a cheapskate. PA, you can't take it with you. Are You just saving it for your kids?
Dan, you're spot on. What other people fail to realize is that, especially for a new GM, guys often want to go where they can make the biggest difference - and by extension, get the most credit. It's not necessarily about ego, but it is about making a name for yourself and earning a respected reputation.
If DiPoto goes to the Angels (which he may), he'll be expected to win - in Baltimore, expectations are low, so if DiPoto turns this team around, he's gonna get HUGE praise and credit for it. And if they don't go anywhere - well, he's got a built in excuse that it's the O's and they've always failed before.
If I was going to be a coach or GM, I'd want to go where the biggest challenge was; where I could make the biggest difference and show people how good I was at my job. That's a big reason why Showalter's here, and that may be enough to sway a top-notch candidate.
Can you please not show Angelos' face anymore? Some of us are either eating, have eaten before, or might eat sometime in the future.
Doesn't the idea of being "the guy" who turns around the O's add to the appeal to this job? Jerry Dipoto played ball so he's competitive and so is Buck. They both know that this town is dying and I mean dying to see the O's return to the top. It does sound like both men are capable, but those two trades that Dipoto made were gutsy like you said and make an impact so he's not afraid to gamble. The GM and Buck are going to have to be creative to get this team to the top.
Dan, I was also curious if you think the awful ratings and attendance will prompt P.A. to open up the purse strings? The Yanks are the Yanks, but ARod is not looking too good at 3B and if CC walks, the staff isn't that promising plus the Sox have their own issues and in reality the Sox have some bad contracts too so being competitive isn't a pipe dream in my eyes IF this team can spend some money to fill the gaps.
I feel Dipoto or Lacava would be good but would also love to see Levine interview too if they wait that long. IS there any chance one gets chosen and another given a lucrative contract to help improve the scouting and player developement?? NO big secret we need much more than a one man overhaul especially to replace Jordan and expand our scouting domestic as well as international..
I cant see those guys leaving their current posts -- or being able to have permission to leave their posts -- for a job other than GM.
hope this dosent last as long as the coaching stafe did last year hire dipoto my nine 4 next year jj nick jones reynolds davis wieters reimold roberts or andino pick up a first or third baseman reynolds or davis dh davis next year 280/25/90

They are the sons of wealth, brought up in families accustomed to power. They were raised to show and demand respect, and they were raised to lead.
They rose to positions of enormous authority, the president of the United States and the special counsel chosen to investigate him. They dress more formally than most of those around them; both sport meticulously coifed hair. They have won unusual loyalty from those who believe in them. They attended elite all-male private schools, were accomplished high school athletes and went on to Ivy League colleges. As young men, each was deeply affected by the death of a man he admired greatly.
Yet Robert Swan Mueller III and Donald John Trump, born 22 months apart in New York City, also can seem to come from different planets. One is courtly and crisp, the other blustery and brash. One turned away from the path to greater wealth, while the other spent half a century exploring every possible avenue to add to his assets.
At pivotal points in their lives, they made sharply divergent choices — as students, as draft-age men facing the dilemma of the Vietnam War, as ambitious alpha males deciding where to focus their energies.
Now, as they move toward an almost inevitable confrontation that could end in anything from deeper political discord to a fatal blow to this presidency, Trump, 71, and Mueller, 73, are behaving much as they have throughout their lives: As the president fumes about a “witch hunt” and takes his frustrations to his supporters, the special counsel remains publicly mute, speaking through inquiries and indictments.
The months flip by, and the showdown looms: Mueller and Trump, the war hero and the draft avoider, two men who rise early and live mainly at the office, two men who find relief on the golf course. They circle each other, speaking different languages. Their aides talk in fits and starts about whether and when the two will meet, but it remains unclear whether that will happen. So they continue on their missions, one loudly, the other in silence. Neither knows how this will end.
From Princeton to the Marines
Mueller was born to a social rank that barely exists anymore, a cosseted WASP elite of northeastern families who sent their sons to New England prep schools built with generations of inherited wealth.
Mueller’s father was an executive at DuPont, part of a family firmly planted in the country’s plutocracy. Mueller, who grew up in Princeton, N.J., and the Philadelphia Main Line, was sent to St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, where the Astor, Vanderbilt and Mellon families educated their boys. At the Episcopal school, Mueller became captain of the soccer, hockey and lacrosse teams. He played hockey with classmate John F. Kerry, a future secretary of state and one of three St. Paul’s alumni who would run for president.
Mueller epitomized the tradition of “the muscular Christian” at the top prep schools, the archetype of the strong boy who embodies “values of kindness, respect and integrity,” said Maxwell King, 73, a classmate at St. Paul’s. “Bob was a very strong figure in our class. . . . He was thought of as somebody you could count on to be thoughtful about everybody on the team and to have very high standards.”
King, a former editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer who runs the Pittsburgh Foundation, said Mueller “had a good sense of humor, but he wasn’t smartass at all. He was serious, but in a way that everybody liked him and liked being around him.”
Mueller was, from early on, a role model. As a group of boys gathered one day at the Tuck, a snack shop at St. Paul’s, a student made a derogatory comment about someone who wasn’t there. “Bob said he didn’t want to hear that,” King said. “I mean, we all said disparaging things about each other face to face. But saying something about someone who wasn’t there was something that Bob was uncomfortable with, and he let it be known and just walked out.”

At Princeton, which his father also had attended, Mueller was accepted into one of the most socially exclusive eating clubs, where he often was seen before dinner playing bridge by the sitting-room fireplace. Mueller had planned to go to medical school, but as a classmate who studied with him recalled, organic chemistry got the better of him. Mueller pronounced himself defeated by the subject; he realized he would not be a doctor.
Just a few weeks after he finished Princeton with a degree in politics in 1966, Mueller enlisted in the Marine Corps, a rare choice for an Ivy League graduate at a time when many young men were casting about for ways to avoid the draft. Mueller, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has often said he was inspired to join the Marines by his lacrosse teammate David Hackett, who had graduated from Princeton a year earlier and gone off to fight in Vietnam.
“As we were graduating, we . . . faced the decision of how to respond to the war in Vietnam,” Mueller said in a speech last year. “And a number of [Hackett’s] friends and teammates joined the Marine Corps because of him, as did I.” In April 1967, as he led his platoon in evacuating fallen Marines from a battleground, Hackett was shot in the back of the head by a North Vietnamese sniper. Mueller to this day speaks of Hackett’s death as a turning point, as the event that pushed him to a career of public service.
Before beginning his military training, and while recovering from a knee injury, Mueller studied international relations at New York University. Then he started Officer Candidates School at Quantico, Va., where he excelled, although he did get a D in delegation. Mueller followed that, according to military records, by going through the Army’s grueling Ranger School and Airborne School — unusual training for a Marine, signaling that he was going places.
By November 1968, he was leading a rifle platoon in the jungles of Vietnam.
Off to military school
Like Mueller, Trump was raised in rare comfort. The Trumps had a family chef and chauffeur, but they never considered themselves part of the country’s ruling class. Theirs was immigrant stock, from Germany and Scotland, hardy entrepreneurs who tackled the new land with a blitz of new businesses — restaurants, hotels and, finally, real estate.
The president’s father, Fred Trump, made his fortune himself, building middle-class housing for the union workers and civil servants of New York’s outer boroughs. Even after he’d established himself as one of the city’s biggest builders, Fred Trump still toiled in the trenches, taking young Donald along on weekends when they went door to door at Trump Village in Brooklyn, collecting rent.
Donald Trump grew up in a 23-room manse in Queens, a faux Southern plantation house with a Cadillac limousine in the driveway. He attended private school from kindergarten on; his focus in school, Trump told The Washington Post in 2016, was “creating mischief, because, for some reason, I liked to stir things up and I liked to test people. . . . It wasn’t malicious so much as it was aggressive.”
In second grade, he said, he punched his music teacher in the face. He got into trouble often. Before eighth grade started, his father sent him to military school.
At New York Military Academy, where the rules were so strictly enforced that a desperate cadet was said to have leaped into the Hudson River in an attempted escape, Trump thrived. Although he ate in a mess hall instead of being served steaks by the family cook, and although he slept in a barracks rather than his own room in a mansion, he for the first time took pride in his grades. He won medals for neatness and order. He also won notice from fellow cadets for touting his father’s wealth and boasting to friends that “I’m going to be famous one day.”
Trump competed to become a cadet leader and enjoyed wielding authority. As a junior supply sergeant in E Company, he ordered that a cadet be struck on the backside as punishment for breaking formation. Another time, while inspecting dorm rooms, Trump saw cadet Ted Levine’s unmade bed and blew up, ripping off the sheets and tossing them on the floor, Levine said. Levine threw a combat boot at Trump and hit him with a broomstick. Trump, infuriated, grabbed Levine and tried to push him out a second-story window, Levine said.
Promoted to captain of A Company, Trump won respect from some of the other boys, who said they never wanted to disappoint him. Trump introduced them to a world of fun, setting up a tanning salon in his dorm room, bringing beautiful women to campus and leading the baseball team to victory.
But other cadets said Trump tried to break boys who didn’t bend to his will. During Trump’s senior year, when one of his sergeants shoved a new cadet against a wall for not standing at attention quickly enough, Trump was relieved of his duty in the barracks, said Lee Ains, the student who was shoved.
Trump denied being demoted, saying he was actually moved up. “You don’t get elevated if you partake in hazing,” he told The Post in 2016. He was put in charge of a drill team that would perform in New York City’s Columbus Day Parade.
Fleeting victories and fiery retreats
Mutter’s Ridge was a killing ground, a craggy hellscape in Quang Tri province where the Marines had been fighting for years, setting up and abandoning bases as they tried over and over to assert control of one of the main routes the North Vietnamese used to infiltrate the South.
Year after year, the ridge, hard by the demilitarized zone that separated North from South, was the scene of fierce assaults, fleeting victories and fiery retreats.
On Dec. 11, 1968, Mueller led a platoon of Marines into an eight-hour battle around an extensive complex of North Vietnamese army bunkers. The enemy hit Mueller’s men with a “heavy volume of small arms, automatic weapons, and grenade launcher fire,” according to a Marine Corps account.
As his platoon suffered heavy casualties, “Second Lieutenant Mueller fearlessly moved from one position to another, directing the accurate counterfire of his men and shouting words of encouragement to them,” the account said.
Mueller set up a defensive perimeter and “with complete disregard for his own safety, he then skillfully supervised the evacuation of casualties from the hazardous fire area,” as the Marines put it. Mueller led a team across the smoldering terrain and into a North Vietnamese-controlled area to recover a mortally wounded Marine. For that, he earned a Bronze Star Medal with “V” distinction for combat valor. He was promoted to first lieutenant.
Four months later, the North Vietnamese attacked a squad of about a dozen Marines from Mueller’s platoon. Responding to the ambush, Mueller led the rest of his men to assist the Marines under assault. They pushed ahead against heavy fire, and Mueller was shot in the thigh.
“Although seriously wounded during the fire fight, he resolutely maintained his position and, ably directing the fire of his platoon, was instrumental in defeating the North Vietnamese Army force,” said the citation on the medal Mueller received.
His year in Vietnam was a turning point, friends said. “He never speaks to that horror and what he did,” said Thomas B. Wilner, a longtime friend and Washington lawyer.
A lifelong friend said that after Vietnam, Mueller “went from being this affable, good guy, good athlete” to having the “backbone and the steel that he has today.” But Mueller doesn’t talk about those harrowing months in the jungle. “That is not his style. He doesn’t brag about himself.”
Draft deferments
The country felt as though it were coming apart at the seams. At the University of Pennsylvania, where Trump had transferred after two years at Fordham University in the Bronx, protests against the Vietnam War grew larger and more insistent. There were sit-ins, candlelight vigils, demonstrations against university contracts with the military — a metastasizing culture of conflict as a new generation pushed back against war, segregation, dress codes and curfews.
Trump took part in none of that. Nor did he pay much attention to his coursework, fellow students said. He was already spending nearly as much time working for his father’s real estate business in New York as he was on campus in Philadelphia. He said he spent many of his off-hours while at school scouring the neighborhood for apartments to buy so he could rent them to students.
Trump never burned a draft card, but he never enlisted either. He benefited from five draft deferments between 1964 and 1968 — four for being a college student and one for a medical disqualification.
Trump has said he had bone spurs in his foot. During his presidential campaign, Trump said he could not recall which foot had the spurs. Later, his campaign said he had them in both heels. At another point, a campaign statement said that in 1969, Trump was fit for service and “had his draft number been selected, he would have proudly served.” His draft lottery number was 356 out of 366 — high enough that he almost certainly would have been spared from mandatory service.
'Mueller, Homicide'
Mueller spent the first two decades of his legal career putting bad guys behind bars. He worked as a prosecutor in San Francisco and Boston. And in Washington, he headed the Justice Department’s criminal division as an assistant attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, supervising high-profile cases such as the prosecution of Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega and the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
But by 1995, he was ensconced in the $400,000-a-year luxury of a white-collar litigation job in the Washington office of a Boston law firm, Hale and Dorr. It was not a happy time.
“He hated it,” said Wilner, the longtime friend. “He couldn’t stand selling his services to defend people he thought might be guilty. . . . There was no hesitation for Bob in leaving a lucrative job to . . . do what he thought was helping make the world a better place.”
So one day, Mueller called the District’s local prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Eric H. Holder Jr., and asked for a job, not handling the office’s big national cases but working the line, prosecuting homicides on the streets of Washington. He wanted no title, no supervisory position. He told Holder that he was shaken by all of the killings in Washington, then the nation’s murder capital, and that he just wanted to try homicide cases.

Mueller said he knew what he was getting into. Holder hired him but insisted on giving him a title — senior litigation counsel — and eventually made him head of the homicide section. Day to day, though, Mueller was “just a line guy,” Holder said. “He would be in those parts of Washington that were most affected by the violence. . . . He would be interviewing people at crime scenes, going to people’s homes to build cases, working with street cops.”
He got a kick out of answering his phone, “Mueller, Homicide.”
“I love everything about investigations,” Mueller said years later in an interview with UVA Lawyer, the magazine of the University of Virginia School of Law, where he earned his law degree. “I love the forensics. I love the fingerprints and the bullet casings and all the rest.”
He led the prosecution of high-profile cases including the grisly murders in 1997 of three workers in a Starbucks coffee shop in Georgetown. D.C. police were not thrilled about the idea, but Mueller brought in a star FBI agent to work on the investigation. Three years after the killings, a D.C. man was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
“If it wasn’t for [Mueller], that case would never have been solved,” said former longtime homicide detective James Trainum, who worked with Mueller on the case. “With his quiet demeanor, he just kind of waded in and diplomatically parted the waters.”
Through the decades, Mueller has often said that what matters even more than the content of one’s work is “how we do it,” as he put it in a commencement address in 2013. “You are only as good as your word. You can be smart, aggressive, articulate and indeed persuasive, but if you are not honest, your reputation will suffer, and once lost, a good reputation can never be regained.”
Tough enough to make it
Donald Trump is pictured in August 1987 at his offices at Trump Tower in New York City. Trump’s older brother was originally supposed to take over the family real estate business but died in 1981 of a heart attack after years of alcoholism. Trump vowed to remember a lesson he learned from his brother’s failure: “To keep my guard up one hundred percent. . . . Life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat. You just can’t let people make a sucker out of you.” (Joe McNally/Getty Images)
Trump was determined to push beyond his father’s realm in New York’s outer boroughs and make it big in Manhattan. He had neither time nor patience for climbing the ladder rung by rung. He believed in big, bold leaps, even if that meant breaking with tradition or rules.
“The key to the way I promote is bravado,” he wrote in “Trump: The Art of the Deal,” his best-selling book. “I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts.”
It was Trump’s older brother, Fred Jr., who was originally supposed to take over the family business. But Freddy, mild-mannered and, in Donald’s view, not tough enough to make it, struggled to live up to his father’s demands. Freddy left the family company to become an airline pilot, but he began drinking excessively. In 1981, at age 43, he died of a heart attack following years of alcoholism. Donald had adored his brother, and now he resolved never to drink alcohol and always to remember a lesson he drew from Freddy’s failure: “To keep my guard up one hundred percent. . . . Life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat,” he said at the time. “You just can’t let people make a sucker out of you.”
In contrast to his brother, Donald Trump was determined to do whatever it took to “be a killer,” as his father had repeatedly insisted. While working on his first hotel project in 1976, Trump persuaded a New York Times reporter to profile him as “a major New York builder,” even though he had never built a thing and had no financing.
He touted his ties to power. In the mid-1970s, seeking to buy New York’s World Trade Center, Trump had lunch with Peter C. Goldmark Jr., the head of New York’s Port Authority, which owned the twin towers. “You wouldn’t last in your job very long if Governor [Hugh] Carey decided you weren’t doing the right thing,” Trump said, according to Goldmark. “You should know I have a lot of weight in Albany.”
Trump’s knack for drawing attention sometimes embarrassed or persuaded the powers that were to cede to his demands. When city politicians who opposed granting Trump a tax incentive called a news conference outside the shuttered Commodore Hotel, Trump showed up and threatened to abandon the project if the city didn’t give him tax relief.
Trump had prepared for the event by directing his workers to replace the clean boards that covered the once-grand building’s windows with dirty scrap wood, accentuating the decrepit state of the midtown eyesore. The dramatic flourish had the desired effect. Trump got the exemption. He beat the system.
G-man
After Mueller did a stint as U.S. attorney in San Francisco, President George W. Bush nominated him to direct the FBI. He was sworn in on Sept. 4, 2001, one week before the planes hit the twin towers.
For the next 12 years, in both Republican and Democratic administrations, Mueller led the FBI through one of the most difficult periods in its history. The bureau shifted from a domestic law enforcement agency largely focused on criminal threats to a global intelligence organization reoriented to fight terrorism.
Although more terrorist attacks were feared, Mueller was intent on protecting civil liberties, according to those who worked with him. “He didn’t allow FBI agents in the post-9/11 era to engage in interrogation techniques that he thought were inconsistent with American law and tradition,” said Holder, who, as President Barack Obama’s attorney general, was his boss once again.
Mueller worked around the clock, traveling from his Georgetown home to FBI headquarters in a black SUV that arrived shortly after 6 a.m. for morning security briefings, heading back late at night. He wore a traditional J. Edgar Hoover-era G-man uniform: dark suit, red or blue tie and white shirt — always white.
“He won’t wear a blue shirt,” Wilner said. “He is so straight, he always wears a white shirt. He’s a pain in the ass in many ways because he is so straight. . . . He’s conscious that he’s a public figure, and he doesn’t want anything to compromise his integrity. Even a blue shirt.”
Around the building, some privately dubbed him “Bobby Three Sticks,” a reference to both the Roman numeral at the end of his name and the three-finger Boy Scout salute. No one dared use the nickname in his presence, former Justice Department officials said.
Mueller usually avoided the limelight. He frustrated his speechwriters by crossing out every “I” in speeches they wrote for him. It wasn’t about him, he told them: “It’s about the organization.”
Family and politics

Mueller burrowed into the bureaucracy and won allies by eschewing publicity. Trump charged into one industry after another, from casino gambling to steaks to for-profit education and finally to politics. The only through line in his career was his own celebrity — the power and allure of his name.
In nearly every possible way, from their family relations to their political involvement, the two men have presented themselves in opposite ways.
Three months after he graduated from college, Mueller married his girlfriend, Ann Standish, whose ancestors had come to the United States on the Mayflower. The couple, who met at a party when they were 17, have two daughters. One of them has spina bifida, and at one point, Mueller took a job in the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston in part to be near the treatment she needed.
Mueller has asked reporters not to discuss his family life; Trump for decades regularly sought coverage of his love life by gossip columnists, and talked about his dates and bedroom activities with radio host Howard Stern.
Trump has five children by three wives, each of them newcomers to New York City, two from Central Europe and one from a small town in Georgia. None was born to privilege. Like his father before him, Trump was distant from his children when they were very young but grew close once they were mature enough to learn the family business and join him on his daily rounds.

Mueller is a lifelong Republican who has worked for administrations of both parties; Trump was raised in a Republican home by a father who spent many weekends visiting the Democratic clubs of Brooklyn, building relationships with the politicians who might help him get his projects built.
For four decades, Trump toyed with the idea of entering politics. He changed his party registration seven times between 1999 and 2012 — he was a Democrat twice, a Republican three times and an independent. In 2000, he briefly ran for president under the Reform Party banner. Once, when asked in a television interview why he was a Republican, he said, “I have no idea.”
A friendly conversation

In the Rose Garden on June 21, 2013, Obama announced that James B. Comey would replace Mueller as FBI director. “Like the Marine that he’s always been, Bob never took his eyes off his mission,” Obama said. “It’s a tribute to Bob’s trademark humility that most Americans probably wouldn’t recognize him on the street, but all of us are better because of his service.”
Four years later, last May, the new president invited Mueller back to the White House. President Trump had abruptly fired Comey and now, at the suggestion of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Mueller was coming in to talk about his former job. On his way into the Oval Office, Mueller met then-chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, a former Navy officer, and teased him for letting his daughter go to West Point.
Mueller and Trump spoke for about 30 minutes, according to a person familiar with the interview. It was a friendly conversation but seemed almost pro forma because Mueller made it clear from the start that he was unlikely to take the job he had held for 12 years.
Trump liked Mueller, according to the person. “He thought he was smart and tough,” a type Trump admires more than almost any other.
The question became moot within days, as Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein appointed Mueller as the special counsel to investigate whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
Trump heard the news and asked one of his aides, “Wasn’t that guy just in here interviewing for the FBI?”

Improving an existing product
Much more has been written on validating product ideas and new product launches than on improving an existing product. A product is only new once. Most Product managers spend bulk of their time on existing products than on new products. A lot of these products are inherited from other PMs who’ve left the company or moved on to other things in the same company. So, how do you improve an existing product?
Obviously, you have to start by defining what “improve” means. New product managers generally think about adding features to an existing product because it’s an easier problem to solve than trying to figure out where the actual problem is in their product. This problem is compounded by the fact that many PMs do not own their end to end customer journeys. This is especially true in large companies where corporate marketing wants to tell the company’s story and not responsible for input metrics like customer acquisition directly. Product marketing runs it’s own ship and generally has to toe the company line on what to communicate. Sometimes your product is a part of a suite of products and only the top few things across the entire suite of products get the company’s attention.
If you inherited a product and are the lead PM on it, here are some of the questions you must ask:
What business objectives are we trying to meet?
• Increase revenue Greater customer retention
• Better free to paid conversion
• Increased profits
• Increased adoption
Which of these problems does the business want to solve in the product? For example, you can solve the retention problem by calling users that are churning, sending retention based offers outside of the product or really improve the product so that more uses come back.
Similarly, you can get free users to convert through offers or by experimenting with the trial duration or by offering free tutorials that don’t require any changes to the product at all. Or, you could build better user onboarding into the product so that new users perform tasks A, B, C, which you’ve defined as critical to the product. Ask these questions before you start working on the product.
Once the business decides the “what” only then should you move on to “how”. Generally, it is very difficult to quantify the value of a new feature. Not every product has the luxury to run an A/B test for every feature they want to put in the product. Especially when you have already paid the cost of the building the feature. So, it’s important to build as little as possible. Most teams underestimate the cost of maintaining a feature and updating it when platform changes require it. The true cost of a feature should include: Validation Onboarding, Discoverability, Analytics and Maintenance.
Since feature estimates always go up, so do all the other costs of building a product.

1927 – 1991
On October 12th, 1991, 499 years after Christopher Columbus discovered America, Gil Waldowsky suffered his third major heart attack and died. The death certificate had the time of death at 7:01 pm so at 7:02 Mrs. Waldowsky and her two daughters began planning the funeral and the reception that would follow. They would also have to arrange the sleeping accommodations for many of the mourners, some of whom had started to arrive.
The two daughters and their mother passed the telephone back and forth bouncing between ritual weeping and necessary laughter. But when the girls took the car keys to go out food-shopping a big fight started over Gil Waldowsky’s Honda. Mrs. Waldowsky said they could only use their father’s car for errands directly related to his funeral. The girls argued that everything they were doing was funeral-related and that it wasn’t exactly a pleasure going to the supermarket to order cold-cuts and salads for their father’s funeral platters. Mrs. Waldowsky and her daughters started crying and they understood why the funeral director said that there would be fighting. When the girls pulled out of the driveway in the Honda, Mrs. Waldowsky threw herself into the arms of the chaplain who had come straight over when he heard the terrible news of Mrs. Waldowsky’s loss.
Mrs. R. Latzman, a long-time friend of the Waldowsky family, had just arrived with the chopped liver and told Mrs. Waldowsky not to get herself more aggravated than she already was. Then she began to count. But she was unable to make an accurate list of the next days mourners and when Mrs. Latzman showed Mrs. Waldowsky the pound and a half of chopped liver, Mrs. Waldowsky once again threw herself into the arms of the chaplain begging him to please stop by Amanda’s Deli to pick up another half pound of chopped liver.
By the end of that day, the family of Gil Waldowsky had gathered. His brother David and his wife had arrived from New York and so had their cousin, Mrs. Sylvia D. Brown. As they sat down to a quiet family dinner Mrs. Waldowsky said, “This is all that’s left of us!” Then she served the lasagna.
Mrs. Waldowsky insisted that everyone go to sleep early. She walked round and round her house reminding her guests that they had to get up at six because the limousines were coming at nine, that everyone had to shower and have breakfast, that the limousines were coming at nine, and that everyone had to get up at six. Try as she might, Mrs. Waldowsky could not get her family into bed.
Her oldest daughter, Mrs. T. McAvoy, was hemming her son’s trousers and arguing with him that he had to wear these particular trousers because these were the only one’s she had packed. At the same time she was explaining to her daughter that everyone was giving out ten dollar bills as a sign of suffering, sacrifice, and grief.
The younger of Mrs. Waldowsky’s girls, Mrs. J. Willems, had in fact fallen asleep but she was sleeping atop the bedspread atop a pile of candy wrappings apparently having experienced an over-dose of chocolate bars. Mrs. Waldowsky understood that this was what the funeral director meant when he said that strange things would be happening.
Cousin Sylvia Brown was drinking cognac with the chaplain who, having mentioned earlier that he loved lasagna, found it his duty to remain with the family to be that outside shoulder upon which they could lean. And Mr. and Mrs. David Waldowsky were relaxing in Gil Waldowsky’s hot-tub outside on the patio. Every once in a while there would be a little groan and then a sigh. Mrs. Waldowsky thought of offering the hot-tub as a gift to her husband’s brother since she could no longer bare to look at it.
And Mrs. Latzman was making her fourth trip out to the airport. This time she was picking up Mr. and Mrs. L. Gotlieb, two very dear friends of the departed who appeared, as Mrs. Latzman noted, to have had vodka martinis and a few too many. The last of the mourners, also close friends of the deceased, were arriving five minutes later and two gates away. Mrs. Latzman recognized Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kasco even though she had not seen them in perhaps ten years. Mr. Kasco was holding onto his wife Florence and by the looks of things they didn’t seem any more stable than the Gotleibs. Mrs. Latzman could have used a martini herself but she held on tight until all the friends were safely inside Mrs. Waldowsky’s stronghold.
Mrs. Waldowsky was sitting on the sofa with her boss, Mrs. Brenda O’Connor. Mrs. O’Connor had brought with her a gallon each of Beefeater Gin and Tanqueray Vodka. “I charged it to the office,” she said, “and listed it under Staff Support.” An hour later, Mrs. Waldowsky’s family and friends went calmly off to their beds.
At six o’clock the next morning, as promised, Mrs. Waldowsky woke her household. And at nine, the limousines came.
It was a long ride to the chapel. No one could explain why it was such a long ride.
Gil Waldowsky’s coffin was covered with an American flag. He lay inside it wearing a new blue golf shirt, a parting gift from the Rosemont Golf and Country Club. In his left hand he was holding his putter and in his right hand he was holding the parting gifts from his daughters, a chocolate bar and two tiny photographs of his grandchildren. Mrs. McAvoy said that her father looked like King Tut. From the speakers in the small chapel came the sound of Harry James.
The funeral director came into the room and the mourners took their seats. And then it was over. The flag was folded and the coffin was closed. The mourners left in the limousines.
The undertaker wheeled the coffin back onto a holding platform. The coffin would remain there until the next morning when it would be driven to the crematorium. Once inside the crematorium the body would be removed from its rented coffin and tagged with a numbered metal ring. It would then be put into an industrialized cardboard box and loaded onto a conveyor belt. At eleven o’clock it would be rolled into an oven and the oven would be lit. Then the ashes and the metal ring would be gathered up and packed into a black plastic box that would weigh a little more than two pounds. The undertaker had been instructed to bury the box in the little cemetery on Woodland Drive in space 31 J.

Enter the maze
Sorry to bug you: Grace Hopper
Red Moth
In the 2003 film The Matrix Reloaded, Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and crew continue their battle with the machines that have enslaved the human race in the virtual reality of the Matrix. To find the Oracle, who can explain what's going on (which, given the twisty plot in the Matrix films, is always a good idea), Trinity needs to break into a power station and switch off some power nodes so the others can enter the secret floor. The computer terminal displays that she is disabling 27 power nodes, numbers 21 to 48. Unfortunately, that's actually 28 nodes, not 27! A computer that can't count and shows the wrong message!
Sadly there are far too many programs with mistakes in them. These mistakes are known as bugs because back in 1945 Grace Hopper, one of the female pioneers of computer science, found an error caused by a moth trapped between the points at Relay 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator being tested at Harvard University. She removed the moth, and attached it to her test logbook, writing 'First actual case of bug being found', and so popularised the term 'debugging' for testing and fixing a computer program.
Grace Hopper is famous for more than just the word 'bug' though. She was one of the most influential of the early computer pioneers, responsible for perhaps the most significant idea in helping programmers to write large, bug-free programs.
As a Lieutenant in the US Navy reserves, having volunteered after Pearl Harbor, Grace was one of three of the first programmers of Havard's IBM Mark I computer. It was the first fully automatic programmed computer.
Moth Wing
She didn't just program those early computers though, she came up with innovations in the way computers were programmed. The programs for those early computers all had to be made up of so- called 'machine instructions'. These are the simplest operations the computer can do such as to add two numbers, move data from a place in memory to a register (a place where arithmetic can be done in a subsequent operation), jump to a different instruction in the program, and so on.
Programming in such basic instructions is a bit like giving someone directions to the station but having to tell them exactly where to put their foot for every step. Grace's idea was that you could write programs in a language closer to human language where each instruction in this high-level language stood for lots of the machine instructions - equivalent to giving the major turns in those directions rather than every step.
The ultimate result was COBOL - the first widely used high-level programming language. At a stroke her ideas made programming much easier to do and much less error-prone. Big programs were now a possibility.
For this idea of high-level languages to work though you needed a way to convert a program written in a high-level language like COBOL into those machine instructions that a computer can actually do. It can't fill in the gaps on its own! Grace had the answer - the 'compiler'. It is just another computer program, but one that does a specialist task: the conversion. Grace wrote the first ever compiler, for a language called A-O, as well as the first COBOL compiler. The business computing revolution was up and running.
High-level languages like COBOL have allowed far larger programs to be written than is possible in machine-code, and so ultimately the expansion of computers into every part of our lives. Of course even high-level programs can still contain mistakes, so programmers still need to spend much of their time testing and debugging. As the Oracle would no doubt say, "Check for moths, Trinity, check for moths". | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9660055041313172}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '11372', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:R7QZFLJRPJDY46JN53HA27JKETZ3HDJ2', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:dcc63661-0f79-44c3-876f-e051ff00e323>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 10, 21, 12, 22, 4), 'WARC-IP-Address': '138.37.95.150', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:AH6JFN7RKF6OOJ2KV5PWEOES2GBUI73V', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:03d19709-e38d-49c2-b767-35541512b2c1>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://cs4fn.org.uk/compilers/sorrytobugyou.php', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5bffbb1a-e9ce-4508-877f-f1fd26ff73b8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '623', 'url': 'http://cs4fn.org.uk/compilers/sorrytobugyou.php', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-43\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-24.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.9179098010063171', 'original_id': '36a0c4f000397708e393de4b27609d1f982e16b7d0a5f9868bcd94b80f2d6145'} |
The Wonderful Guide to the Northern Lights of Iceland
by Rúnar Þór Sigurbjörnsson
Created: 16. Feb 2016
(Updated: 25. Jan 2019)
They're used in almost every promotional material for Icelandic tourism, and for good reason. They are stunning, seeming almost magical and they often appear when you least expect them. I'm, of course, talking about the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.
The Aurora Borealis, meaning 'Dawn of the North', is probably the single greatest attraction Iceland has to offer.
Not that Iceland is the only place in which you can find them, but thanks to the vast, untamed wilderness we have here and our fortunate location in the upper northern hemisphere you might have better luck looking up at the dancing Northern Lights here than anywhere else in the world.

Origin of the Aurora Borealis
Did you know that there are also Aurora Lights in the Southern hemisphere? They're called Aurora Australis and you can see them in places such as New Zealand, Falkland Islands, Antarctica and even far south in Argentina.
There were a lot of theories and superstitions surrounding the Aurora lights all throughout history. The Crees in America called them the Dance of Spirits, associating them to the afterlife.
Throughout medieval Europe, they were believed to be signs from the Christian God and in Norse mythology, they were believed to be the shimmering lights that flashed from the shields of the Valkyrie as they swooped down to the battlefields to claim the souls of the fallen.
In ancient Roman mythology, Aurora was the name for the goddess of the dawn, the herald that announced the arrival of the sun.
Aurora, together with the Greek god of the north wind Borea, inspired the astronomer Galileo Galilei when he formally coined the term Aurora Borealis in 1619 AD.

Will I definitely see the northern lights?
You will definitely not definitely see them, if that makes sense. The northern lights are elusive and you may get lucky one night to find them showing off right above your head but usually, it takes a bit of planning and consideration.
Make sure you monitor their activity using the local Weather Reports. The white areas represent clear skies and you'll see the expected Auroral activity in the upper right corner.
Just make sure not to plan your entire holiday around seeing the northern lights. They should be considered an extra bonus to your trip and if you come to Iceland with high expectations you may be propping yourself up for disappointment.

When is the best time to find the Northern Lights?
People say that the peak months for auroral activity are from September to the end of February, but you can easily see them during the other months as well as long as its dark.
Obviously not in July, where daylight spans the entire day cycle but a trip in March, April or August might carry an auroral display waiting to surprise you.

Why are the Northern Lights green?
The lights are the result of collisions between electrically charged solar particles and atoms and molecules in earth's atmosphere.
The atoms get all jittery and excited, lighting up into the northern lights for all to enjoy.
They're not always green, though. The color in the lights is determined by the type of molecules that are colliding at the given time.
The green color is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above earth while red lights are produced by oxygen considerably higher, or about 200 miles above the earth.
A rarer type, the purple or blue lights are produced when nitrogen enters the equation.

Where to find the Aurora Borealis?
Great question! The obvious answer is, of course, where it's dark, but thankfully if you're here in winter then darkness pretty much covers the entire country.
Even Reykjavík isn't so heavily polluted by light as other cities may be so there's even a chance you might see them on one casual evening stroll through downtown.
The biggest show of lights I've seen happened right in the middle of Reykjavík and it was spectacular!
But seriously, use your imagination. If you're going out of Reykjavík then find a black sand beach and watch the lights dance above the ocean or even climb a small mountain or hill to get some amazing overview shots with your camera.
Got a question about the Northern Lights burning on your lips? Leave it in the comments below and I might add the answer to the article.

How do we feel good about ourselves without needing to feel better than others and thus falling into the narcissism/self-loathing trap? One answer is to develop self-compassion.
Self-compassion involves being kind to ourselves when life goes awry or we notice something about ourselves we don't like, rather than being cold or harshly self-critical. It recognizes that the human condition is imperfect, so that we feel connected to others when we fail or suffer rather than feeling separate or isolated. It also involves mindfulness -- the recognition and non-judgmental acceptance of painful emotions as they arise in the present moment. Rather than suppressing our pain or else making it into an exaggerated personal soap opera, we see ourselves and our situation clearly.
Self-compassion doesn't demand that we evaluate ourselves positively or that we see ourselves as better than others. Rather, the positive emotions of self-compassion kick in exactly when self-esteem falls down; when we don't meet our expectations or fail in some way. This means that the sense of intrinsic self-worth inherent in self-compassion is highly stable. It is constantly available to provide us with care and support in times of need. My research and that of my colleagues has shown that self-compassion offers the same benefits as high self-esteem, such as less anxiety and depression and greater happiness. However, it is not associated with the downsides of self-esteem such as narcissism, social comparison or ego-defensiveness.
Instead of endlessly chasing self-esteem as if it were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, therefore, I would argue that we should encourage the development of self-compassion. That way, whether we're on top of the world or at the bottom of the heap, we can embrace ourselves with a sense a kindness, connectedness and emotional balance. We can provide the emotional safety needed to see ourselves clearly and make whatever changes are necessary to address our suffering. We can learn to feel good about ourselves not because we're special and above average, but because we're human beings intrinsically worthy of respect.

Arena: Dare you enter The Corner Cafe, home to the 8,000 calorie Monster Mega Challenge breakfast?
The 'Monster Mega Breakfast' also comes with six slices of black pudding, six hash browns, one bowl of chips, four onion rings, four slices of toast, two fried bread, half a grilled tomato, two portions of beans and two portions of tomatoes.
Challengers are given an hour to down the £15 meal, which they can wash down with either a pint of milkshake or a can of energy drink.

Scoreboard: A blackboard for 'champions' of the huge meal
But it is so large that nobody has yet managed to complete the meal at the Corner Cafe in Portishead near Bristol.
Despite the huge array of products in the feast, the cafe can whip up a Monster Mega Breakfast in just ten minutes.

Process: The massive meal takes two cooks ten minutes to make
One member of staff takes on the eggs, omelettes, beans, toast and tomatoes while a chef will fry up the rest.
Manger Lucy Butler said: "It takes about 10 minutes to make - for us, that is a long time.
8,000 calorie mega-breakfast
Challenge: The rules of taking on the challenge include no sharing, being aged over 18 and stopping if you are sick
"We are a fast food place really, but when one of these orders comes in, the kitchen becomes manic.
"It's quite cramped in the kitchen. We do it so quickly because it would be harder if the person challenging had to want to eat if cold.

Legalities: It must be scary if it needs a waiver...
"As a cafe, we also don't want to serve it cold."
The breakfast was launched last Wednesday, and since then five people have attempted the meal and failed to finish it.

Brave: Lucy Butler serves Harriet Crawford with the monster meal
Contestants are given an hour to attempt the challenge, signing a waiver before starting.
Rules include no sharing, must be 18 or over and you must stop if you are sick.

Gauntlet: Can Harriet manage the massive meal?
Swaps are allowed but only certain items may be exchanged, with winners added to the 'champions' wall with a photo, receiving a free mega breakfast voucher, mini trophy and keyring.
The breakfast is cooked normally, with sunflower oil used for frying, and each item's calories had to be worked out individually before they were all added together.

Massive: The whopping meal in all its glory
Lucy, 19, added: "The idea came about from watching Man V Food. Me and my sister thought we had to do it.
"If we we were to do it, we thought, why not try to make it the biggest in Britain?

Limits: Challengers have one hour to devour the huge fry-up
"We don't make any money off of it. It's just a bit of fun.

3 positions of leadership – Leading from the front
We can learn much from horses about teamwork and leadership in business. In our workshops with horses, we share a leadership model that the horses use to create cohesive teamwork. It involves three positions of leadership and we will explore Leading from the front in more detail in this post.
Many of our clients have found this leadership model to be enlightening and have embraced and implemented it into their business with substantial success. The model is based on building relationships rather than a more traditional command and control style of leadership which does not engage and inspire employees. The success of the team is dependent on every team member taking responsibility for leadership and changing their position within the team according to what they believe is needed in each moment.
The model we use is adapted from a model developed by Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling. He observed that there are three different leadership roles in a herd of horses:
• Leading from the front where the leader sets the pace, destination and direction
• Leading from the side where leaders coach each other in a democratic leadership style and ensure everyone is moving forward together in the same direction
• Leading from behind which has a check and balance style of leadership and drives the team forward to maintain momentum
Each member of the team is leading at different moments, and all are essential to the success of the team.
It might seem obvious that dragging or shoving half a ton of horse is impossible yet many employees feel as though they are on the receiving end of this behaviour in the workplace. When we work with horses, we are always working at a fine-tuning level of leadership to maximise leaders’ effectiveness so we reduce coercion and passivity and help leaders find that knife-edge of assertiveness when they are leading out of the comfort zone. Asa result, they improve their ability to flex and adapt to what is needed in any given situation and are able to inspire their teams much more easily.
In this post, I share an extract from my book Leadership Beyond Measure which explores leading from the front in more detail.
Leading from the front
The alpha mare is the most dominant member of the herd and leads from the front. Her role is to set the pace, direction and destination. Since horses are a prey animal, they are on the alert for danger. Imagine a pack of wild dogs appears, the alpha mare will decide where the herd go, how they get there and how fast they go.
If the dogs are close by, she will set off at a gallop. If they are further away, she will set off at a walk. She will go as fast as is necessary to keep the herd safe. This way, the herd conserve their energy for when it is most needed. Many people in business are going at three hundred miles per hour constantly. That is exhausting, and more balance is essential to prevent burn-out and work-related stress.
In a workplace setting, the leader of the company and each team and department usually lead from the front. For example, the MD or CEO will set the strategy and vision for a company. A Project Manager defines clear goals and objectives for his project team. A leader of a team translates the vision and goals so everyone on their team has clear expectations. Everyone at some point will need to lead from the front.
If nobody takes the lead from the front or the vision and direction are not clear enough, the team gets diverted and disperses. This can ultimately lead to conflict in the team and causes increased workload as the team become ineffective. If you’ve ever sat in a meeting and listened to a discussion go round and round without a decision, you’ve experienced what happens when nobody is leading from the front.
And if you’ve ever sat in a meeting where everyone talks over the top of each other, then you’ve experienced what happens when everyone is trying to lead from the front!
One of the challenges of leading from the front is you can get so far ahead that you lose the team. It is essential to keep checking that all team members are coming with you and understand where they are going. A common mistake in organisations is to believe that the strategy and vision have been clearly communicated when they have not. If the team is not doing what you want them to do, the destination, pace and direction need to be clearer.
When leading from the front, the focus is in the direction you are heading. If you keep turning round and looking back, you create a stop/start behaviour in your team. It indicates doubt, a lack of self-belief and self-confidence. Leading from the front requires enormous trust in yourself and the team and a belief that people will execute the strategy you have set. Be purposeful, focused, committed and clear about where you are heading or the team may stall.
In today’s business environments of rapid transformation and change, leading from the front is critical to providing the clarity and vision that employees need in order to drive the business forward.
How clear is the vision in your business and team?
Next month, I’ll explore Leading from behind and how it is critical to drive the team forward in line with the vision and pace that has been articulated.

Q:
Difference in treatment of Infinity and Undefined
I understand that
$$1)\; \lim_{x\to0}\frac1{x} = +\infty$$
$$2)\; \frac1{0} is\,undefined $$
If both infinity and undefined are just abstract concepts and not a type of number, why I see this kind of expressions used
$$ \lim_{x\to\infty}expression$$
but not these kind of expressions?
$$ \lim_{x\to undefined}expression$$
A:
While $\infty$ in calculus is not a real number, it is still a well-defined notion. It just means "eventually larger than any other point".
In the first limit you present, $\frac1x$, as $x\to 0$, we say that the limit equals $\infty$, since given any number $M$, we can find $x$ such that $\frac1x>M$. Do note, by the way, that we need $x>0$ in order to conclude the limit is positive.
In the second term you use, $\frac10$, there is no limit. We don't evaluate it against some process which continues. It's just a term which may or may not be a real number. If it were, suppose some $r$ then $r\cdot 0=1$ but there is no such $r$ which is a real number and $r\cdot 0\neq 0$.
Now, when you write $\lim\limits_{x\to y}$, you mean that either $y$ is a real number and $x$ gets arbitrarily close to it; or that $y=\pm\infty$ and $x$ gets arbitrarily large (with the appropriate sign, of course).
So while $\infty$ is not a real number, it is a well-defined notion; whereas $\frac10$ is just meaningless.

Herald of Shalia 5
(The fifth book in the Herald of Shalia series)
A novel by
Sebastian Frost frequently found himself marrying women he barely knew.
His first wife demanded that he marry her as payment for saving his life, his second tricked him into marrying her, the third he married to secure an alliance, and his fourth was Lysandra. Lysandra was the only woman that Frost chose to marry and she was also the future mother of his child.
He thought that after marrying Lysandra he would be finished marrying women he just met but it seemed he was mistaken.
In the heat of the moment, he made a reckless wager that resulted in him being engaged to Olivia Moray, a noblewoman from the obscenely wealthy Moray family. If he married Olivia, he would have access to her vast fortune. If he didn't marry her, the Moray family would take it as a grave insult. It was an easy choice to make.
Frost had more important things to deal with, like his agreement with the Goddess Riliandra.
The goddess found her next prophet and per their deal, Frost needed to protect her. The only problem was that the cute demihuman prophet in question was located in Nir, a country that did not welcome visitors and happened to be at war with Rilia.
Frost was going to have to find a way to smuggle himself into the country, find the prophet, and escape. All without getting the attention of the Herald of Niri, a powerful sorceress rumored to be immortal.
Herald of Shalia is a fun fantasy light LitRPG/Gamelit by Tamryn Tamer and contains attention starved elves, naughty harpies, creative catgirls, foxy madams, foul language, and completely over the top love making. You've been warned.

In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today.
From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.
Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.
Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient "revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule.
Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for large scale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism.
It is crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad, as Islamists desire and try to turn Western Civilisiation to the 'perfect' times of 7th Century Sharia law based living. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'bc87c265e7627073ccd7a1a99f9265180b8246edd4967e9dc4e5c41781d68ecd'} |
Scene change detection in image data
ABSTRACT
Techniques are generally described for scene change detection. A first and second histogram representing frames of a video may be received. A Euclidean distance between the first and second histogram may be determined. A third histogram of a third frame may be received. Values of the third histogram may be compared to corresponding values of a background model of the environment. A fourth frame and a fifth frame of image data of the video may be received. A flow value between a first block of pixels of the fourth frame and a corresponding second block of pixels of the fifth frame may be determined. The flow value may be determined based on a motion vector and a sum of absolute differences between the first and second block. A portion of the video may be streamed to a remote computing device if the flow value exceeds a threshold value.
BACKGROUND
Cameras and other image sensors may be used to capture images and/or videos of a physical environment, sometimes for surveillance or monitoring certain areas of interest. Some cameras include image sensors effective to detect light in both the visible and infrared (IR) spectrums, which enable the operation of those cameras in day and night modes. Image data generated by cameras may be processed to determine characteristics of the area of interest being recorded, such as for detecting motion or movement in the recorded areas.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that illustrate several examples of the present invention. It is understood that other examples may be utilized and various operational changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the embodiments of the present invention is defined only by the claims of the issued patent.
Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for detecting significant changes between two or more frames of video data, such as for detecting scene changes and/or motion detection. Various embodiments may enable scene change detection and/or motion detection for only changes of a certain magnitude, thereby reducing notifications, alerts, or other communications produced when changes of insignificant magnitude occur. In some embodiments in which the image data corresponding to such scene changes or motion is transmitted over a network for processing by remote servers, this reduction in communications can enable a reduction in network bandwidth consumption and remote processing resources.
Image data, as described herein, may refer to stand-alone frames of image data or to multiple frames of sequential image data, appended together to form a video. Frames of image data may be comprised of a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional grid including an x component representing a horizontal direction in the grid and a y component representing a vertical direction in the grid. A pixel is an addressable unit of image data in a frame. A particular pixel may be identified by an x value, representing the horizontal position of the pixel in the two-dimensional grid and a y value, representing the vertical position of the pixel in the two-dimensional grid. Additionally, blocks, as described herein, may refer to blocks of pixels. For example, a frame of image data may be conceptually separated into a number of rectangular blocks of pixels (sometimes referred to as “macroblocks”). In various examples, blocks may comprise 8 rows and 8 columns of pixels (e.g., 8×8). In some other examples, blocks may comprise 16 rows and 16 columns of pixels (e.g., 16×16). In addition to the foregoing examples, blocks may have different dimensions apart from those specifically listed herein. A scene, as referred to herein, may refer to a portion of a physical environment represented that may be represented in the image data of a frame.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example system 100, arranged in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. In various examples, system 100 may comprise a camera 101, one or more processing elements 102, a memory 103, a premotion estimator (PME) 122 and/or a video pre-processor (VPP) 124. In some embodiments, the system 100 can be utilized for surveillance or home security. In various examples, one or more of the image processing techniques described herein may be performed by a processing element 102 included within a housing of system 100, which may be positioned at the location where the images are being acquired by the camera 101. In other examples, one or more of the image processing techniques described herein may be performed by a computing device accessible via a communications network, such as computing device 180 accessible over network 104. Accordingly, as depicted in FIG. 1, in some examples, system 100 may send image data over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180 for image processing. In other examples, system 100 may comprise one or more processors and/or a memory effective to perform the various image processing techniques described herein. In various examples, the techniques described herein may be used to determine what image data to send over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180 for further processing. In various examples, computing devices 180 may perform action recognition image processing, human detection, pet detection, and/or other image processing techniques. Accordingly, as described in further detail below, the various techniques described herein may conserve bandwidth and selectively reduce the amount of image data streamed to remote computing devices 180 for remote processing. Additionally, the various techniques described herein may detect scene changes of interest and/or significant motion within a scene 150 representing a physical environment. Video of scene changes and/or significant motion may be streamed to one or more remote computing devices 180 and may be available for viewing by a user of system 100. Additionally, according to the various techniques described herein, minor, insignificant motion between two or more frames may be disregarded and may not trigger system 100 to stream video to remote computing devices, further conserving bandwidth and/or remote processing resources.
Network 104 may be, for example, the internet, an intranet, a wide area network, a local area network, or the like. In some examples, system 100 may be effective to send and receive data over network 104. The one or more processing elements 102 of system 100 may be effective to execute one or more instructions stored in memory 103 to cause the one or more processing elements 102 to execute various methods as described in further detail below. In FIG. 1, examples of a process flow 190 that may be executed by the one or more processing elements 102 are depicted within a dashed box to indicate that actions in process flow 190 may be executed by one or more components of system 100. In at least some examples and as described in further detail below, the various methods may comprise one or more processes, examples of which are referred to herein as Differential Scene Detection 120, Gaussian Scene Detection 130 and/or Flow Motion Detection 140. Memory 103 may store the executable instructions used to execute the various methods described herein. In addition, memory 103 may store various outputs and parameters related to the various methods described herein. Additionally, as described in further detail below, each of Differential Scene Detection 120, Gaussian Scene Detection 130, and/or Flow Motion Detection 140 may represent a state of process flow 190. In various examples, the processing of process flow 190 may remain in a state until that state is “triggered” or until the current state times out, at which time process flow 190 may transition to a different state. In at least some examples and as described in further detail below, when a state is triggered or times out, process flow 190 may transition to a different state or may remain in the current state.
Camera 101 may include, for example, a digital camera module. The digital camera module may comprise any suitable type of image sensor device or devices, such as a charge coupled device (CCD) and/or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor effective to capture image data from a local environment of camera 101. For example, camera 101 may include one or more lenses and may be positioned so as to capture images of a portion of the environment disposed along an optical axis (e.g., a light path) of camera 101. In the example depicted in FIG. 1, camera 101 may be positioned so as to capture video (e.g., frames of image data) representing an in-door environment (e.g., a portion of an interior of the user's home). Camera 101 may be a dual mode camera device effective to operate in a day mode and a night mode. During day mode operation (sometimes referred to as “RGB mode” operation), an IR cut filter may be interposed in the light path of camera 101 to block infrared light from reaching an image sensor of camera 101. While in day mode, an image signal processor (ISP) of the camera 101 may adjust various parameters of the camera 101 in order to optimize image quality for image data captured in day mode. For example, the frame rate of a video capture mode of camera 101 may be increased when switching from night mode to day mode.
During night mode operation (e.g., IR mode), the IR cut filter may be removed from the light path of camera 101. Accordingly, camera 101 may detect infrared wavelength light in the infrared portion of the spectrum as well as other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some examples, camera 101 may comprise an infrared light source effective to emit infrared light to illuminate the scene 150 while in night mode. In some other examples, camera 101 may be configured in communication with an external infrared light source. In various examples, camera 101 and/or system 100 may cause an infrared light source to emit infrared light when camera 101 operates in night mode. Similarly, in various examples, when camera 101 is operated in day mode, infrared light emission by an infrared light source may be discontinued.
Camera 101 may be effective to generate a YUV histogram for each frame of image data captured. In some examples, the YUV histogram may comprise 256 bins representing the Y component (e.g., luminance), 128 bins representing the U component (e.g., chrominance) and 128 bins representing the V component (e.g., chrominance). Although particular numbers of bins for each component of the YUV histogram are discussed for illustrative purposes, it should be appreciated that any number of bins may be used, according to the desired implementation. Conceptually, the YUV histogram may be thought of as three separate histograms—one for the Y component, one for the U component and one for the V component. The horizontal axis of the histogram represents tonal values with each bin along the horizontal axis of the histogram representing a discrete tonal value. The vertical axis represents a value for the bin (e.g., a “bin value”). The bin value indicates the number of pixels in the frame of image data having the particular tonal value. Accordingly, the value of each bin of the YUV histogram represents the number of pixels in the frame having the particular luminance (or luma) or chrominance (or chroma) value of the bin.
In various examples, premotion estimator (PME) 122 may be effective to analyze frames of image data. PME 122 may be instituted as hardware (e.g., as a dedicated chip and/or integrated circuit) and/or as some combination of hardware and software. PME 122 may perform a block-matching process to match blocks between two frames of image data. For each matched block, PME 122 may generate a motion vector for the block. The motion vector may indicate the change in position of the block from the first frame to the second frame, as analyzed by the PME 122. Motion vectors may take the form (d_(x), d_(y)) where d_(x) represents the change in horizontal block position (along the x axis) and d_(y) represents the change in vertical block position (along the y axis) between the two frames being analyzed by PME 122. PME 122 may further generate a sum of absolute difference (SAD) of a motion-compensated residual for the pair of matching blocks. The SAD may represent the differences between the component image data of the two matched blocks being evaluated.
In various examples, video pre-processor (VPP) 124 may be effective to analyze one or more frames of image data to determine average luminance and/or luma values for macroblocks of pixels in the one or more frames. VPP 124 may be instituted as hardware (e.g., as a dedicated chip and/or integrated circuit) and/or as some combination of hardware and software. As described in further detail below, average luma may be used in a flow equation to determine a flow value F indicating significant scene change. Additionally, the average luma may be used when calculating the flow value F to account for different lighting conditions when determining motion in scene 150.
System 100 may be effective to determine whether or not a significant change in scene 150 has occurred using the process flow 190. Differential Scene Detection 120, Gaussian Scene Detection 130 and Flow Motion Detection 140 may each represent a state of process flow 190. In some examples, Differential Scene Detection 120 may be a default state. Accordingly, processing of process flow 190 by system 100 may begin at Differential Scene Detection 120. Differential Scene Detection 120 is described in further detail below with respect to FIG. 2.
Under various conditions Differential Scene Detection 120 may be triggered and processing may transition from the Differential Scene Detection 120 state to the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state. If Differential Scene Detection 120 is not triggered, process flow 190 may remain in the Differential Scene Detection 120 state. Gaussian Scene Detection 130 may compare a YUV histogram of a current frame of image data to a background model of the environment (e.g., scene 150) to determine whether significant changes from the background model are present in the YUV histogram of the current frame. Gaussian Scene Detection 130 is described in further detail below in reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
Under various conditions, the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state may be triggered and processing may transition from the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state to Flow Motion Detection 140 state. If the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state is not triggered, processing may return to the Differential Scene Detection 120 state. Flow Motion Detection 140 may use inputs from PME 122 to analyze sequential frames of image data captured by camera 101. Flow Motion Detection 140 may calculate a flow value for each pair of matching blocks between the sequential frames using the SAD value, the motion vector, and the average luma for the pair of matching blocks. The total flow value for all pairs of matching blocks in the sequential frames may be determined. Various thresholding techniques described in further detail below may be used to determine if the Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered. If the Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, system 100 may begin encoding and transmitting frames of image data over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180 for further image processing. Flow Motion Detection 140 is described in further detail below in reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
FIG. 2 depicts a method of detecting a distance between two histograms of image data, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 illustrates an example of the Differential Scene Detection 120 of process flow 190 described in FIG. 1. Camera 101 may be effective to capture frames 206 ₁-206 _(n) of scene 150. As shown in the example illustration depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2, scene 150 may be a portion of an interior of an apartment or other dwelling. Accordingly, frames 206 ₁-206 _(n) may be frames of image data captured of scene 150 over a period of time. In the example depicted in FIG. 2, in frame 206 ₁, a FIG. 230 (e.g., a person) is standing at a first position in the scene 150. In frame 206 _(n), captured at some point in time following frame 206 ₁, the position of FIG. 230 has changed (e.g., FIG. 230 has moved). As described below, process flow 190 may be effective to determine whether the change in scene 150 between frame 206 ₁ and frame 206 _(n) is a significant change and whether the frames of image data representing the scene change should be encoded and transmitted over network 104 to one or more other computing devices for further processing and/or to make the frames available to one or more other computing devices.
In an example, frames 206 ₁-206 _(n) may represent one second of video recorded at 30 frames per second resulting in 30 captured frames (e.g., n=30). Camera 101 and/or the one or more processors 102 may generate a YUV histogram for each of frames 206 ₁-206 _(n). In the example depicted in FIG. 2, YUV histograms 216 ₁-216 _(n) have been generated. Each of the YUV histograms 216 ₁-216 _(n) corresponds to one of frames 206 ₁-206 _(n). For example, a YUV histogram 216 ₁ may be generated for frame 206 ₁, a YUV histogram 216 ₂ may be generated for frame 206 ₂, etc. Differential Scene Detection 120 may perform an action 240. Action 240 may comprise determining the Euclidean distance between two histograms of two different frames of image data. In at least some examples, the two frames of image data may be non-consecutive frames in video 106, in order to reduce the processing load and/or power consumption of system 100. For example, there may be one or more intermediate frames of image data between the two frames for which the Euclidean distance is determined. For example, action 240 may be programmed to compare the histogram of a current frame with a histogram of a frame that is 30 frames prior to the current frame. In some other examples, action 240 may be selectively programmed to wait any number of frames and/or any amount of time between comparisons, as desired. In some examples, action 240 may be performed on histograms of consecutive frames, every 15 frames, every 25 frames, every 100 frames, etc. Similarly, action 240 may be performed on histograms of frames separated by 1 second, 2 seconds, 10 seconds, 0.5 seconds, etc.
The Euclidean distance may be the distance in multi-dimensional space between a first vector (e.g., a first Euclidean vector) representing the first YUV histogram being compared, and a second vector (e.g., a second Euclidean vector) representing the second YUV histogram being compared. If the Euclidean distance between the first histogram and the second histogram exceeds a scene difference threshold value (e.g., a programmable and/or predefined distance threshold), Differential Scene Detection 120 may be triggered and processing may transition from the Differential Scene Detection 120 state to the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state, as depicted in FIG. 1. The scene difference threshold value may represent a minimum Euclidean distance between the histograms of two frames of image data indicative of significant motion in the physical environment represented between two or more frames of video data. The scene difference threshold may be a tunable parameter used as a gateway to control the transition between Differential Scene Detection 120 and Gaussian Scene Detection 130. Typically, more motion (e.g., changes in the physical environment in scene 150) occurring between two frames of image data will result in a larger Euclidean distance between the two frames. The Euclidean distance exceeding the scene difference threshold value may be an indication that a scene change has occurred between the frames with histograms being compared at action 240. Conversely, if the Euclidean distance between the first histogram and the second histogram does not exceed the scene difference threshold value, processing may remain in Differential Scene Detection 120 state and may continue to compare histograms of captured frames according to the parameters of Differential Scene Detection 120 (e.g., “compare the histogram of every 30th frame with the histogram of the frame 30 frames earlier”). When the Euclidean distance does not exceed the scene difference threshold value, it may be an indication that the scene change is not significant enough to warrant encoding the frames of image data and transmitting them over network 104 for further processing. In at least some examples, action 240 may separately determine the Euclidean distance between the two histograms for each of the Y, U and V components. In such examples, each component may have a separate threshold or an aggregated thresholding technique may be used.
FIG. 3 illustrates a background model 340 comprising Gaussian distributions representing histograms of sequential frames of captured image data, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. If Differential Scene Detection 120 is triggered, processing in process flow 190 may transition from the Differential Scene Detection 120 state to the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state. A background model 340 of scene 150 may be generated either within the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state or at various programmable time intervals. For example, a background model 340 of scene 150 may be generated once a day, once every 2 hours, once every week, once every 15 minutes, etc. The frequency of the generation of the background model 340 is a tunable parameter and any appropriate frequency may be used according to the desired application. Additionally, in at least some examples, the background model 340 may be generated in a calibration mode, upon powering up system 100, and/or upon a command received from a companion application or on an interface of system 100.
Generation of the background model 340 of scene 150 may comprise capturing n sequential frames of image data. In the example depicted in FIG. 3, n=30. Accordingly, frames 1-30 are captured. A YUV histogram of each of the n frames is generated. Accordingly, in the example depicted in FIG. 3, histograms 1-30 are generated, with histogram 1 corresponding to frame 1, histogram 2 corresponding to frame 2, etc. Each of the YUV histograms may have a certain number of bins representing values of the Y, U, and V components, as previously described herein. In the example depicted in FIG. 3, each of the YUV histograms 1-30 may be separated into 512 bins with 256 bins representing the Y component (e.g., luminance), 128 bins representing the U component (e.g., chrominance), and 128 bins representing the V component (e.g., chrominance). The bin values of each bin among the histograms of the n sequential frames may be approximated by the one or more processors 102 as a Gaussian distribution. Accordingly, as depicted in FIG. 3, a Gaussian distribution is generated for Bin 1, Bin 2, . . . , Bin 512, resulting in 512 Gaussian distributions. In the example depicted in FIG. 3, the Gaussian distribution for Bin 1 may comprise the 30 different histogram values of Bin 1 in the histograms for frames 1-30. The Gaussian distribution for Bin 2 may comprise the 30 different values of Bin 2 in frames 1-30, and so on. Additionally, a mean value p and standard deviation a are determined for each of the bins.
FIG. 4 is an illustration of a technique for comparing a histogram of image data to a background model of a scene, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. When the state of process flow 190 transitions from Differential Scene Detection 120 to Gaussian Scene Detection 130, Gaussian Scene Detection 130 may compare the value of each bin of the histogram of the current frame 410 of video 106 to the Gaussian distribution of the background model that corresponds to that bin. If the value of a particular bin of the histogram of the current frame 410 diverges from the mean p for that bin by greater than a threshold amount, that bin may be considered to be “violated.” For example, if the value of a particular bin of the histogram of the current frame 410 is outside of a standard deviation band (e.g., outside +/−3σ) of the Gaussian distribution corresponding to the bin, the bin may be violated. The deviation band may represent a particular deviation from the mean value for a given Gaussian distribution. For example, the deviation band may be from −σ to +σ, from −2σ to +2σ, from −3σ to +3σ, or some other band of values. If greater than a threshold number of bins are violated, Gaussian Scene Detection 130 may be triggered and processing in process flow 190 may transition from the Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state to Flow Motion Detection 140 state.
For example, if the value in bin 5 for the histogram of current frame 410 is outside a deviation band (e.g., less than −3σ or is greater than 3σ) for the corresponding Gaussian distribution of bin 5, bin 5 of the histogram of current frame 410 may be violated. It should be appreciated that the +/−3σ deviation band is an example and that other thresholds and/or deviation bands may be used depending on the desired application and to tune the sensitivity of the scene change detection techniques described herein. For example, +/−2σ, +/−σ, +/−0.5σ etc. may be used in various other examples. Additionally, the number of bins of the histogram of current frame 410 that are required to violate the background model before Gaussian Scene Detection 130 is triggered (e.g., # of bins threshold) may be tunable according to the desired application and/or desired sensitivity of the scene change detection techniques described herein. For example, # of bins threshold may be equal to 10, 20, 30, 35, 41, or any other desired number of bins.
FIG. 5 depicts two frames 506 ₁-506 ₂ of image data that may be used to detect changes in a scene in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. When the state of process flow 190 transitions from Gaussian Scene Detection 130 to Flow Motion Detection 140, PME 122 may perform block matching on two frames of image data. In the example depicted in FIG. 5, PME 122 may perform a block-matching process to match blocks of pixels between a first frame 506 ₁ and a second subsequent frame 506 ₂. Various block matching techniques known in the art may be used in accordance with the present disclosure, such as, for example, the exhaustive search algorithm, optimized hierarchical block matching (OHBM), three step search algorithm, two-dimensional logarithmic search, etc. Matched blocks may be blocks determined by PME 122 and/or the one or more processors 102 as including the same and/or minimally different image data. Frames 506 ₁ and 506 ₂ may be frames of image data representing scene 150. For each pair of matched blocks, PME 122 may generate a motion vector for the pair. The motion vector may indicate the change in position of the matching blocks from the first frame to the second frame, as analyzed by the PME 122. Motion vectors may take the form (d_(x), d_(y)) where d_(x) represents the shift in horizontal block position (along the x axis) and d_(y) represents the shift in vertical block position (along they axis) between the two frames being analyzed by PME 122. PME 122 may further generate a sum of absolute differences (SAD) of a motion-compensated residual for the pair of matching blocks. The SAD may represent the differences between the component image data of the two matched blocks. In some examples, SAD may be calculated by taking the absolute difference between each pixel in the matching pair of blocks.
In the example depicted in FIG. 5, PME 122 may match blocks of image data in frame 506 ₁ with blocks of image data in frame 506 ₂. In the example depicted in FIG. 5, the frames 506 ₁ and 506 ₂ may be sequential and/or consecutive frames. Block 520 in frame 506 ₁ may represent a portion of the standing FIG. 230. It should be noted that the size of block 520, as depicted in FIG. 5, is for illustrative purposes and may not be drawn to scale. PME 122 may match block 520 to corresponding block 522 in frame 506 ₂. The dashed outline of FIG. 230 in frame 506 ₂ is used to depict the position of FIG. 230 in frame 506 ₁, so that the movement of FIG. 230 between frame 506 ₁ and frame 506 ₂ may be more easily visualized. Additionally, the dashed figure in frame 506 ₂ is used to illustrate motion vector 530, representing the change in position or location (d_(x), d_(y)) between block 520 in frame 506 ₁ and corresponding (e.g., matching) block 522 in frame 506 ₂. Block 522 may represent the same portion of the physical environment (e.g., the same portion of standing FIG. 230) as block 520, albeit at a subsequent point in time as frame 506 ₂ may be subsequent to frame 506 ₁ in the video data.
Motion vectors may generally provide a good indicator of rigid movement between frames involving a translation of an object across the frame. A person slowly rolling by a white background on a skateboard may be an example of a rigid movement. In such an example, matching blocks between two frames representing the moving person may have very low or zero residuals (e.g., SAD). Additionally, the motion vector between the two matching blocks may be large. On the other hand, during non-rigid movements the motion vector may be low and the SAD between matching blocks may be high and thus SAD may be a bigger indicator of the movement in-scene. An example of a non-rigid movement may be bending movements, movements that are moving quickly towards or away from the camera, and/or other non-translational movements. Additionally, the luminance of the frames and/or blocks of image data may affect the SAD values of the matching blocks.
As described in further detail below, Flow Motion Detection 140 may determine a “flow” between matching blocks using motion vectors between the matching blocks, SAD between matching blocks, and average luma of one or both of a pair of matching blocks. Flow may be a value that represents differences between pairs of matched macroblocks between frames of image data of video 106. Flow may be an indicator of motion between frames of a scene 150. As used herein, “flow” may differ from optical flow, as optical flow typically refers to a computed vector from one block to another block along with a separate residual value. Optical flow is generally noisy, as motion vectors alone can be noisy especially under different lighting conditions. As such, optical flow does not provide for accurate motion estimation, particularly under different lighting sources. By contrast, “flow”, as used herein, is calculated using motion vectors, SAD, and average luma to account for different lighting conditions according to Equation (1), below. Additionally, “flow”, as used herein, provides for accurate motion estimation in scene 150. Flow may be determined for each pair of matching blocks in the frames being compared. For example, in FIG. 5, flow may be determined for each pair of matching blocks from frame 506 ₁ and 506 ₂. Flow may be accumulated in a buffer or other memory. As described in further detail below, various thresholding techniques may be used to determine whether the flow between two frames of image data indicates a significant scene change. If a determination is made that a significant scene change is occurring (e.g., if the one or more thresholds are exceeded by the determined flow), system 100 may encode and transmit frames of image data over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180 for further image processing and/or to make the video 106 or a portion thereof available to a device that is remote from system 100. In at least some examples, system 100 may include a video buffer 570. Video buffer 570 may store one or more previously captured frames of image data of scene 150. In at least some examples, if Flow Motion Detection 140 is triggered (e.g., using the techniques described in FIG. FIG. 6 depicts an example of a Flow Motion Detection process 140 that may be used to determine whether or not to stream video to one or more remote computing devices in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Equation 620 may be used to determine flow F for each pair of matching blocks between two frames of image data representing a scene 150. Equation 620 is depicted as Equation (1) below: F=SAD(B ₁ ,B ₂)+a*(|b _(x) |+|d _(y)|)−b*Avg(B ₁) (1)
The first term in equation 620—SAD(B₁, B₂)—represents the SAD between matching blocks B₁ and B₂ (e.g., block 520 and block 522). The second term in equation 620 (|bx|+|dy|)—represents the magnitude of the motion vector determined by PME 122 between blocks B₁ and B₂ (e.g., motion vector 530). The third term—Avg(B₁)—represents the average luma for one of the matching blocks of image data and may be used to account for the lighting conditions on the scene 150. The tunable parameters a and b are weight value coefficients that may be used to normalize the three terms of equation 620 to the same space and to weight the various terms.
While process flow 190 is in Flow Motion Detection 140 state, flow F may be calculated for each pair of matching blocks for two frames of image data. Flow F may be accumulated in flow buffer 640. Flow buffer 640 may be a memory associated with system 100. As described below, the current accumulated value of flow F stored in flow buffer 640 may be used to determine whether or not the Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered. Once the Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, system 100 may begin encoding and transmitting video 106 (e.g. streaming video) over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180, as described previously. Additionally, as previously described, when the Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, one or more of the previously captured frames stored in video buffer 570 may be encoded and transmitted over network 104 to one or more computing devices 180 to depict motion occurring in scene 150 during the relevant time period, which may have occurred prior to the Flow Motion Detection 140 state experiencing a trigger.
Countdown timer 630 may be used to determine an amount of time that the process flow 190 has been in the Flow Motion Detection 140 state since the last time that Flow Motion Detection 140 was triggered. Flow Motion Detection 140 may be triggered in various ways. In one example, once process flow 190 is inside the Flow Motion Detection 140 state, countdown timer 630 may begin a countdown of time length t. The length t of the countdown timer 630 may be a tunable parameter and may be set to a desired value depending on the desired application. In an illustrative example, the countdown timer may be set to a length t=7 seconds. In some examples, Flow Motion Detection 140 state may calculate flow F for sequential frames captured by camera 101, while countdown timer 630 is counting down. In some other examples, Flow Motion Detection 140 state may calculate flow F for frames sampled by camera 101 at various time intervals, while countdown timer 630 is counting down. Flow F may be determined and accumulated in flow buffer 640. In one example, if the value of F stored in flow buffer 640 exceeds a predetermined flow threshold value, Flow Motion Detection 140 state may be triggered and system 100 may begin encoding and transmitting frames of video 106, as described above. In various examples, when Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, the countdown timer 630 may be reset. Similarly, when Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, the Flow Buffer 640 may be emptied (e.g., flushed and/or reset to an initial flow value F such as 0 or another value).
If the countdown timer 630 expires without the value F stored in Flow Buffer 640 exceeding the predetermined flow threshold value, process flow 190 may return from Flow Motion Detection 140 state to Differential Scene Detection 120 state, as depicted in FIG. 1. In various examples, if system 100 has been streaming video 106 for more than a threshold amount of time (e.g., >1 minute, 2 minutes, 45 seconds, etc.) due to a plurality of triggers experienced while process flow 190 is in the Flow Motion Detection 140 state, process flow 190 may transition from Flow Motion Detection 140 state to Differential Scene Detection 120 state to ensure that Differential Scene Detection 120 state, Gaussian Scene Detection 130 state and Flow Motion Detection 140 state remain triggered. The threshold amount of time is also a tunable parameter and may be adjusted as desired according to the particular application.
In another example, instead of using a single predetermined threshold value to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140, high and low thresholds and high and low block counts may be used to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140. Using high and low thresholds and high and low block counts may provide an adaptive means for triggering Flow Motion Detection 140. As described below, fewer blocks may be required to violate a high threshold in order to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140 while more blocks may be required to violate a low threshold in order to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140. For example, a high threshold may be a threshold flow value F_(High). If a pair of matching blocks is determined to have a flow F that is greater than F_(High), a high threshold block counter C_(High) may be incremented or otherwise increased. If the value of C_(High) exceeds a C_(High) threshold value C_(high_thresh), Flow Motion Detection 140 may be triggered. Similarly, a low threshold may be a threshold flow value F_(low) where F_(High)>F_(low). If a pair of matching blocks is determined to have a flow F that is greater than F_(low) a low threshold block counter C_(low) may be incremented or otherwise increased. If the value of C_(low) exceeds a C_(low) threshold value C_(low) thresh, Flow Motion Detection 140 may be triggered. In the example, C_(low_thresh) may be greater than C_(high_thresh) such that more blocks are required to violate the low threshold F_(low) to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140 relative to the number of blocks required to violate the high threshold F_(High) to trigger Flow Motion Detection 140.
Once Flow Motion Detection 140 state is triggered, system 100 may stream video 106 for a predefined amount of time (e.g., 15, 20, 22, 40 seconds, or some other amount of time). In various examples, every subsequent trigger of Flow Motion Detection 140 after streaming has commenced may cause system 100 to stream video 106 for an additional amount of time equal to the predefined amount of time. For example, system 100 may stream video 106 to one or more computing devices 180 for 20 seconds upon Flow Motion Detection 140 state being triggered. During the 20 seconds, if Flow Motion Detection 140 state is again triggered, system 100 may stream video 106 for an additional 20 seconds. If at the expiration of the predefined streaming time Flow Motion Detection 140 state has not been triggered, system 100 may cease streaming until Flow Motion Detection 140 is next triggered. For example, if system 100 has been streaming video 106 for 20 seconds without Flow Motion Detection 140 being triggered, system 100 may cease streaming video 106.
FIG. 7 depicts an example of various infrared illumination states that may be used to control streaming of video in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The output of PME 122 may experience significant noise during illumination changes. For example, when camera 101 changes from night mode with IR illumination source to day mode without IR illumination, output of PME 122 may be unstable. Generally, significantly changing the amount of IR illumination on the scene 150 may cause error in the output of PME 122 (e.g., in the motion vectors and SAD determined by PME 122). Accordingly, process 702 depicted in FIG. 7 may be used to reduce the triggering of Flow Motion Detection 140, Differential Scene Detection 120, and/or Gaussian Scene Detection 130 due to changes in IR illumination.

The Human Being as a
Complete Book
"The Heart is an Open Book."
Amir al-Mo’menin Ali (peace be upon him)
The central teaching of Sufism is that each being has within itself all knowledge of its being, just as the seed contains all knowledge of the tree. Each being has knowledge within of its course in presenting itself as a being, and knowledge of where it will go. Each being is a complete book, a book that can only be read by the being itself.
Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) has said in Nahj-ol-Fesahe:
"Knowledge is not in the sky to descend upon you, nor is it in the earth to grow for you, but it is innate, hidden within you, until the human being is recognized in his totality as an absolute being with all of his capabilities and capacities in every stage of his existence."
Each individual is subject to discovery of this inner being, this absolute knowledge within him or herself. The knowledge is there for him or her to attain. Therefore, the best place to look for the answers to our being is right within the unbounded reality of ourselves. In this context, each person is the researcher, the laboratory, and the subject of study.
Professor Nader Angha, Pir Oveyssi, in the book Sufism and Knowledge, describes the different levels of the human being:
"The human being consists of the following four levels:
The outermost level is the level of nature, which is the laboratory for human experience.
The second level is the physiological level, the cellular, organic level which functions according to its own inherent programs and laws. The activities of this level are generally a combination of sensory activities, thoughts, cellular needs, and experiences, as well as cultural heritage and personal aptitudes. Medical science focuses on this level and its useful technological and treatment advances have dealt with aspects of the cellular, organic level.
The third level is the developmental level, the locus for mental, sensory and psychic powers and for the development and interrelationship of the magnetic bodies.
The fourth level is the innermost level, the mysterious level, which is the point of stability and true personality 1 . This is the level which is the source of knowledge as announced by the Prophets, and the focus of the teachings of Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi.®"
Each level of the human being has its own sphere of operation, and is submitted to the laws governing it. The instructions of the Prophets are meant to acquaint people with all the levels of their being, their interaction and relationship with the extensive universe, and the laws governing their being, so they may live in peace and tranquility and know eternity.
The Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has said:
"Knowledge is not obtained through scholarship, but it is a light that God shines
in the heart of whom He wills."

abstract: 'The scaling in $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ cross sections (for $Q^2/W^2 << 1$) in terms of the scaling variable $\eta = (Q^2 + m^2_0)/\Lambda^2 (W^2)$ is interpreted in the generalized vector dominance/color-dipole picture (GVD/CDP). The quantity $\Lambda^2 (W^2)$ is identified as the average gluon transverse momentum absorbed by the $q \bar q$ state, $<\vec l^{~2}> = (1/6) \Lambda^2 (W^2)$. At any $Q^2$, for $W^2 \to \infty$, the cross sections for virtual and real photons became universal, $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}(W^2,Q^2)/\sigma_{\gamma p}(W^2) \to 1$.'

title: 'Scaling in total cross sections and the generalized vector dominance/color dipole picture[^1]'
---
Two important observations[@H1] were made on deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at low values of the Bjorken scaling variable $x_{bj} \cong Q^2/W^2
<< 1$, since HERA started running in 1993:\
i) The diffractive production of high-mass states (of masses $M_X \lsim 30 GeV$) at an appreciable rate relative to the total virtual-photon-proton cross section, $\sigma_{\gamma^*p} (W^2,Q^2)$. The sphericity and thrust analysis[@H1] of the diffractively produced states revealed (approximate) agreement in shape with the final state found in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at $\sqrt s = M_X$. This observation of high-mass diffractive production confirms the conceptual basis of generalized vector dominance (GVD)[@Sakurai] that extends the role of the low-lying vector mesons in photoproduction[@Stodolsky] to DIS at arbitrary $Q^2$, provided $x_{bj} << 1$.\
ii)An increase of $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}(W^2,Q^2)$ with increasing energy considerably stronger[@Zeus] than the smooth “soft-pomeron” behavior known from photoproduction and hadron-hadron scattering.\
We have recently shown[@Schi] that the data for total photon-proton cross sections, including virtual [*as well as real photons*]{}, show a scaling behavior. In good approximation, \_[\^\* p]{} (W\^2, Q\^2) = \_[\^\* p]{} (),\[(1)\] with = .\[(2)\] Compare Fig. 1. The scale $\Lambda^2(W^2)$, of dimension $GeV^2$, turned out to be an increasing function of the $\gamma^* p$ energy, $W^2$, and may be represented by a power law or a logarithmic function of $W^2$, \^2 (W\^2) = {
[r@[ ]{}r]{} c\_1 (W\^2+W\^2\_0)\^[c\_2]{},\
c\_1\^( + c\^\_2).
. \[(3)\] In a model-independent fit to the experimental data, the threshold mass, $m^2_0 < m^2_\rho$, and the two parameters $c_2 (c_2^\prime)$ and $W^2_0 (W^{\prime 2}_0)$ were found to be given by $m^2_0 = 0.125 \pm 0.027 GeV^2,~
c_2 = 0.28 \pm 0.06,~
W^2_0 = 439 \pm 94 GeV^2$ with $\chi^2/ndf = 1.15$, and $m^2_0 = 0.12 \pm 0.04 GeV^2,~
c_2^\prime = 3.5 \pm 0.6,~
W_0^{\prime 2} = 1535 \pm 582 GeV^2,$ with $\chi^2/ndf = 1.18$. The overall normalization, $c_1 (c^\prime_1)$ in (3) is irrelevant for the scaling behavior.
(3.5,3.5)
For the interpretation of the scaling law (1) , we turn to the generalized vector dominance/color-dipole picture (GVD/CDP)[@GVD; @Schi], of deep-inelastic scattering at low $x << 1$. It rests on $\gamma^*(q \bar q)$ transitions from $e^+e^-$ annihilation, forward scattering of the $(q \bar q)$ states of mass $M_{q \bar q}$ via (the generic structure of) two-gluon exchange[@7] and transition to spacelike $Q^2$ via propagators of the $(q \bar q)$ states of mass $M_{q \bar q}$. In the transverse-position-space representation[@Nikolaev], we have $$\begin{aligned}
\sigma_{\gamma^*p} (W^2, Q^2) & = &
\int dz \int d^2 r_\perp \vert \psi \vert^2
(r^2_\perp Q^2 z (1-z), Q^2 z (1-z), z) \cdot \nonumber \\
& \cdot &\sigma_{(q \bar q)p} (r^2_\perp, z(1-z),W^2).
\label{(4)}\end{aligned}$$ We refer to ref.[@Nikolaev] for the explicit representation of the square of the photon wave function, $\vert \psi \vert^2$. The ansatz (4) for the total cross section [*must*]{} be read in conjunction with the Fourier representation of the color-dipole cross section, \_[(q |q)p]{} (r\^2\_, z (1-z),W\^2)= d\^2 l\_\_[(q |q)p]{} (l\^[ 2]{}\_, z (1-z),W\^2) (1 - e\^[- l\_r\_]{}).\[(5)\] Upon insertion of (5) into (4), together with the Fourier representation of the photon wave function, one indeed recovers[@GVD] the expression for $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ that displays the $x \to 0$ generic structure of two-gluon exchange[^2]: The resulting expression for $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ is characterized by the difference of a diagonal and an off-diagonal term with respect to the transverse momenta (or masses) of the ingoing and outgoing $q \bar q$ states.
From (5), the color-dipole cross section, in the two limiting cases of vanishing and infinite interquark separation, becomes, respectively, \_[(q |q)p]{} (r\^2\_, z (1-z),W\^2) = \^[()]{} {
[l@[,]{}l]{} r\^2\_l\^[ 2]{} \_[W\^2,z]{} & [for]{} r\^2\_0,\
1 & [for]{} r\^2\_.
. \[(6)\] The proportionality to $r^2_\perp$ for small interquark separation is known as “color transparency”[@Nikolaev]. For large interquark separation, the color-dipole cross section should behave as an ordinary hadronic one. Accordingly, \^[()]{} = dl\^2\_(l\^2\_, z (1-z),W\^2)\[(7)\] must be independent of the configuration variable $z$ and has to fulfill the restrictions from unitarity on its energy dependence. The average gluon transverse momentum $\langle \vec l^{~2}\rangle_{W^2,z}$ in (6), is defined by l\^[ 2]{} \_[W\^2,z]{} = .\[(8)\] Replacing the integration variable $r^2_\perp$ in (4) by the dimensionless variable u r\^2\_\^2 (W\^2) z (1-z),\[(9)\] the photon wave function becomes a function $\vert \psi \vert^2 (u
\frac{Q^2}{\Lambda^2}, \frac{Q^2}{\Lambda^2},z)$. The requirement of scaling (1), in particular for $Q^2 >> m^2_0$, then implies that the color-dipole cross sections be a function of $u$, \_[(q |q)p]{} (r\^2\_, z (1-z), W\^2) = \_[(q |q)p]{} (u). \[(10)\] Taking into account (6), we find l\^[ 2]{}\_[W\^2,z]{} = \^2 (W\^2) z (1-z),\[(11)\] and upon averaging over $z$, l\^[ 2]{} \_[W\^2]{} = \^2 (W\^2).\[(12)\] The quantity $\Lambda^2 (W^2)$ in the scaling variable (2) is accordingly identified as the average gluon transverse momentum, apart from the factor 1/6 due to the averaging over $z$.
Inserting $\langle \vec l^{~2} \rangle_{W^2,z}$ from (11) into (6), we have \_[q |q p]{} = \^[()]{} {
[l@[,]{}l]{} r\^2\_\^2 (W\^2) z (1-z) & [for]{} \^2 r\^2\_0,\
1 & [for]{} \^2 r\^2\_.
.\[(13)\] The dependence of the photon wave function in (4) on $r^2_\perp \cdot
Q^2$ requires small $r_\perp$ at large $Q^2$, in order to develop appreciable strength; for large $Q^2$, the $r^2_\perp \to 0$ behavior in (13), with its associated strong $W$ dependence, becomes relevant until, finally, for sufficiently large $W$, the soft $W$ dependence of $\sigma^{(\infty)}$ will be reached.
Thus, by interpreting the empirically established scaling, $\sigma_{\gamma^*,p}
= \sigma_{\gamma^*p}(\eta)$, in the GVD/CDP, we have obtained the dependence of the color-dipole cross section on the dimensionless variable $u$ in (10) and, consequently, with (13), qualitatively, the dependence on $\eta$ shown in fig. 1. Conversely, assuming a functional form for the color-dipole cross section according to (10), one recovers the scaling behavior (1).
In[@Schi], we have shown that approximating the distribution in the gluon momentum transfer by its average value, (11), \_[(q |q)p]{} = \^[()]{} (l\^[ 2]{}\_- \^2 (W\^2) z (1-z)),\[(14)\] allows one to analytically evaluate the expression for $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ in (4) in momentum space. The threshold mass $m_0 \lsim m_\rho$ enters via the lower limit of the integration over the masses of the ingoing and outgoing $q \bar q$ states. For details we refer to[@Schi], and only note the approximate result \_[\^\*p]{}() \^[()]{} {
[l@[,]{}l]{} (1 ) &[for]{} \_[min]{} = ,\
1 2 &[for]{} >> 1.
. \[(15)\] Note that for any fixed value of $Q^2$, with $W^2 \to \infty$, the soft logarithmic dependence as a function of $\eta^{-1}$ is reached. We arrive at the important conclusion that in the $W^2 \to \infty$ limit virtual and real photons become equivalent, \_[[W\^2 ]{} ]{} = 1.\[(16)\] Even though convergence towards unity is extremely slow, such that it may be difficult to ever be verified experimentally, the universality of real and virtual photons contained in (16) is remarkable. It is an outgrowth of the HERA results which are consistent with the scaling law (1) with $\eta$ from (2) and $\Lambda^2 (W^2)$ from (3). Note that the alternative of $\Lambda^2 = const$ that implies Bjorken scaling of the structure function $F_2 \sim Q^2 \sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ for sufficiently large $Q^2$, leads to a result entirely different from (16), \_[[W\^2 ]{} ]{} = , ([assuming]{} = const.),\[(17)\] i.e. a suppression of the virtual-photon cross section by a power of $Q^2$.
(3.5,3.5)
(5.5,5.5)
In Fig. 2, we show $\Lambda^2(W^2)$ as obtained from the fit[@Schi] of $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ to the experimental data. The figure shows the result of fits based on the power law and the logarithm in (3), as well as the results of a pointlike fit, $\Lambda^2(W^2_i)$. Using (12), one finds that the average gluon transverse momentum increases from $<\vec l^{~2}> \simeq 0.5 GeV^2$ to $<\vec l^{~2}> \simeq 1.25 GeV^2$ for $W$ from $W \simeq 30 GeV$ to $W \simeq 300 GeV$. In Fig. 3, we show the agreement between theory and experiment for $\sigma_{\gamma^*p}$ as a function of $\eta$. For further details we refer to ref.[@Schi].
In summary, we have shown that the HERA data on DIS in the low-$x$ diffraction region find a natural interpretation in the GVD/CDP. The scale $\Lambda^2 (W^2)$ entering the scaling variable $\eta$, was found to be proportional to the average gluon transverse momentum absorbed by the incoming (outgoing) $q \bar q$ state in the virtual-forward-Compton amplitude. The cross sections for real and virtual photons on protons become identical in the limit of infinite energy.

Virtual Dedicated Hosting – How To obtain The most of Both Worlds With This Hybrid Offering
Shared world-wide-web hosting creates it feasible for hundreds or even thousands of users to host their websites incredibly cost-effectively. However, you will find a few drawbacks.
Because quite a few web websites are hosted over a exact same physical server every website have to share that server’s resources. These resources include bandwidth, disk space, memory, and CPU usage to name a few. The must share resources is rarely a problem for smaller and medium size world wide web sites.
The biggest limitation with shared hosting, therefore, is that you simply can’t control any in the system-level software program such as mail servers, http servers, etc. You also are not able to select your personal operating system, compile programs, or perform other administrative activities for instance installing firewalls and spam filters.
Real Dedicated Hosting
Real dedicated world-wide-web hosting, on the other hand, solves all the difficulties with shared internet hosting, but at a important cost. With true dedicated hosting you have exclusive use of an entire server: all the memory, all the disk space, all the CPU horsepower.
Therefore, no other world-wide-web sites’ problems, glitches, or whatever, will have any effect on your net site. You’ve total control more than the server, its resources, and its administrative functions.
This could be the ideal internet hosting solution but it just isn’t cheap. You have to invest in an entire server without a single else to share common expenses. So, typically, a “real” dedicated hosting plan will cost a minimum of $100 per month and goes up from there. And, unless you decide on managed hosting that is even far more expensive, you have to do all of the technical server administration yourself.
You run your business. I’ll run mine.
The fact is that most site owners do not need total control of their servers as they merely desire to run their businesses. They have neither the interest nor the potential to perform all the technical tasks associated having a fully dedicated server and are more than happy to permit their shared internet hosting provider handle them.
However, once an on the internet company begins to ramp up its transaction volumes, expand its product or service line to a big number of on the internet offerings, or simply requirements more control more than its environment, there’s a incredibly cost strong selection to a fully dedicated server.
Virtual dedicated hosting, also known as digital dedicated server, or VDS, hosting, stands out as the word for your physical server which, through software, has been partitioned into several virtual machines operating independently of each other as if they have been standalone dedicated servers.
Virtual Dedicated Hosting – Advantages
The big advantage of VDS on the fully dedicated server is cost. Usually priced at a smaller amount than a single fourth the cost of full dedicated hosting, VDS hosting provides virtually all the same advantages. And compared to a shared world-wide-web hosting plan, VDS is only slightly far more costly providing an good balance of economy and control.
With a VDS all physical resources just like memory, disk space, as well as the CPU continue to be shared, but each digital server operates in a fully independent manner. For example, each VDS can run its very own unique operating procedure and can also be set up in any configuration imaginable.
The main advantage of a VDS is that every administrator maintains control at the root directory level of his or her own digital server. Entry at this level permits the world wide web website owners to do lots of neat things:
Administer their individual file directories Assign domain names that resolve to a primary domain without getting to go from the world wide web host Create and add e-mail accounts Assign email addresses Manage their own log files Maintain passwords Set permissions Delete and install software VDS administrators efficiently have the potential to accomplish whatever an administrator can do on the real, physical server.
Security Besides providing a lot greater manage over the world wide web hosting environment, the virtual dedicated server hosting is inherently far more secure than any shared hosting server can be. Mainly because world-wide-web sites hosted over a shared server must use the exact same operating system, a hacker who gets entry to the server’s root directory could damage all of the websites residing on that server.
On another hand, a VDS is compartmentalized these kinds of that a hacker gaining access through a single account could in no way entry any with the others. Each VDS is entirely invisible to each other and it is impossible to transfer root-level entry potential from a single account to another.
Virtual Dedicated Servers can also be configured by the hosting company inside a number of methods so it is significant which you realize how your world wide web host has allocated the server’s resources.
Typically the host would distribute the physical server resources evenly based on how many accounts and/or world wide web websites are being hosted. Thus, with ten virtual servers on a single physical server, each would be allocated ten percent with the storage, bandwidth, memory, and CPU time.
Virtual Dedicated Hosting – Disadvantages
Interestingly, the disadvantages of hosting over a VDS are practically the same as what the advantages are. If you are not sure what you are doing, getting the full control that virtual dedicated hosting allows is also incredibly risky.
For example, it is possible to accidentally delete files, or set permissions inappropriately, or enable viruses as well as other malware to enter the method and, overall, just make a genuine mess of things. So if you lack the technical skills to administer a web server, and are unable or unwilling to understand them, digital dedicated hosting may perhaps not be a beneficial choice for you.
However, if your web site has reached a size wherever shared net hosting no longer accommodate the demands of your business, digital dedicated hosting can supply a very cost-effective choice to “real” dedicated server hosting.
The Bottom Line
When selecting a digital dedicated hosting plan, make it your organization to understand how all of the server resources are allocated, what the obtainable alternatives are for operating systems, how several VDS accounts will reside on each server, and the terms and conditions for upgrading and downgrading to yet another plan.

Dowtown Los Angeles Art Walk
14 Oct
This is just a preview but it looks to be an exciting weekend in downtown LA. The art walk is a favorite of the man artsy local who inhabit LA, and I will be there to report. After questions regarding whether or not the event would take place it was confirmed that it will take place starting Thursday the 14th. Everything from painted chairs and sketches of Death Row inmates to one man solo performances.

Top 5 Sandwiches
14 Oct
5. Chicken Parmesan
Los Angeles, CA
A real homestyle pizza place with a delicious tangy marinara sauce. When they smother it over a few pieces of crispy hand breaded chicken strips (that Pagliacci got from the local market right across the street,) covers it with some shaved parmesan and throws it in one of their hand made rolls it will blow your mind.
4. Pastrami, Cole Slaw, and Russian Dressing
Los Angeles, CA
How can you make an already delicious home made pastrami and cole slaw sandwich better? You slap it on a couple slices of home made rye as well! This is one of my all time favorite sandwiches and have searched a long time for one like this. When it comes to classic jewish delicatessen that reminds me of the east coast Langer’s is the place!
3. Chicken Schwarma
Pita Jungle
Phoenix, AZ
I have not had a chicken schwarma that I liked as much as the ones in Israel until I came here with my girlfriends sister. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with those delicious middle eastern spices that taste like israel. The lemon, garlic, peppers, and then the cool tahini hits and coats your mouth and the sweet crunch of fresh onion, cucumber, and tomato. The fluffy yet crunchy pita wrap holds all of it together like a delicious dough sweater. Mmm.
2. Junkyard Dawg
Bigfoot Bar-B-Q
Flagstaff, AZ
Tucked in cozy ol’ Flagstaff off Route 66 Bigfoot the people at Bigfoot serve up some delicious smoked barbeque and some vrazy creations inspired by the various BBQ regions of America. My favorite is the Junkyard Dawg, straight from the hard-working, pork eating, junkyard people of the south this sandwich packs a punch! They take a smoked Red Hot link and smother it with their pulled pork in the hot BBQ sauce, they finish it off with a hefty heaping of their signature spice rub seasoned creamy slaw, more BBQ sauce and a hefty side of regular or sweet potato fries.
1.Club Sandwich
Beyond Bread
Tucson, AZ
I have not seen a club sandwich stacked as high or as well as the club from Beyond Bread. Fresh sliced hand roasted turkey, crisp applewood bacon, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and a good slab of mayo in between some perfectly toasted slices of their home made bread. 4 toothpicks, 2 ice teas, and a pound of sandwich later you are in a state of sandwich-phoria that you wont come back from for a long time. Everything about this sandwich is so fresh and you can just taste the care that was put into it. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9360390901565552}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '64387', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:55A4Q7RMFHU5SVNH2V36U2Z2BAAIDSLG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:506d72ce-8a81-4dbd-b30a-02d5333ae34d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 3, 30, 55), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.12', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:RSXQV6KJFHP73VWNOYFL3HGYN7I632VW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:b8460542-7ad6-4ebe-be44-0992e6cef004>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://sammygskitchen.wordpress.com/tag/los-angeles/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e53690a0-17d0-419a-aa49-3ab7c35e58dd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '533', 'url': 'https://sammygskitchen.wordpress.com/tag/los-angeles/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-113-176-82.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.027711808681488037', 'original_id': '9780fd7413d226df7250b153a740226f368b79cc05740e4c2f03ceb0bd0e8da8'} |
The delivery of biologically active agents (including therapeutically relevant compounds) to subjects is often hindered by difficulties in the compounds reaching the target cell or tissue. In particular, the trafficking of many biologically active agents into living cells is highly restricted by the complex membrane systems of the cells. These restrictions can result in the need to use much higher concentrations of biologically active agents than is desirable to achieve a result, which increases the risk of toxic effects and side effects. One solution to this problem is to utilize specific carrier molecules and carrier compositions which are allowed selective entry into the cell. Lipid carriers, biodegradable polymers and various conjugate systems can be used to improve delivery of biologically active agents to cells.
One class of biologically active agents that is particularly difficult to deliver to cells is a bio therapeutic (including nucleosides, nucleotides, polynucleotides, nucleic acids and derivatives, such as mRNA, RNAi, and self-replicating RNA agents). In general, nucleic acids are stable for only a limited duration in cells or plasma. The development of RNA interference, RNAi therapy, mRNA therapy, RNA drugs, antisense therapy, gene therapy, and nucleic acid vaccines (e.g., RNA vaccines), among others, has increased the need for an effective means of introducing active nucleic acid agents into cells. For these reasons, compositions that can stabilize and deliver nucleic acid-based agents into cells are of particular interest.
The most well-studied approaches for improving the transport of foreign nucleic acids into cells involve the use of viral vectors or formulations with cationic lipids. Viral vectors can be used to transfer genes efficiently into some cell types, but they generally cannot be used to introduce chemically synthesized molecules into cells.
An alternative approach is to use delivery compositions incorporating cationic lipids which interact with a biologically active agent at one part and interact with a membrane system at another part. Such compositions are reported to provide liposomes, micelles, lipoplexes, or lipid nanoparticles, depending on the composition and method of preparation (for reviews, see Feigner, 1990, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 5, 162-187; Feigner, 1993, J. Liposome Res., 3, 3-16; Gallas, 2013, Chem. Soc. Rev., 42, 7983-7997; Falsini, 2013, J. Med. Chem. dx.doi.org/10.1021/jm400791q; and references therein).
Since the first description of liposomes in 1965 by Bangham (J. Mol. Biol. 13, 238-252), there has been a sustained interest and effort in developing lipid-based carrier systems for the delivery of biologically active agents (Allen, 2013, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 65, 36-48). The process of introducing functional nucleic acids into cultured cells by using positively charged liposomes was first described by Philip Feigner et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 84, 7413-7417 (1987). The process was later demonstrated in vivo by K. L. Brigham et al., Am. J. Med. Sci., 298, 278-281 (1989). More recently, lipid nanoparticle formulations have been developed with demonstrated efficacy in vitro and in vivo. (Falsini, 2013, J. Med. Chem. dx.doi.org/10.1021/jm400791q; Morrissey, 2005, Nat. Biotech., 23, 1002-1007; Zimmerman, 2006, Nature, 441, 111-114.; Jayaraman, 2012, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 51, 8529-8533.)
Lipid formulations are attractive carriers since they can protect biological molecules from degradation while improving their cellular uptake. Out of the various classes of lipid formulations, formulations which contain cationic lipids are commonly used for delivering polyanions (e.g. nucleic acids). Such formulations can be formed using cationic lipids alone and optionally including other lipids and amphiphiles such as phosphatidylethanolamine. It is well known in the art that both the composition of the lipid formulation as well as its method of preparation affect the structure and size of the resultant aggregate (Leung, 2012, J. Phys Chem. C, 116, 18440-18450).
The encapsulation of anionic compounds using cationic lipids is essentially quantitative due to electrostatic interaction. In addition, it is believed that the cationic lipids interact with the negatively charged cell membranes initiating cellular membrane transport (Akhtar et al., 1992, Trends Cell Bio., 2, 139; Xu et al., 1996, Biochemistry 35, 5616). Further, it is believed that the molecular shape, conformation, and properties of the cationic lipids provide enhanced delivery efficiency from endosomal compartments to the cytosol (Semple, 2010, Nat. Biotech, 28, 172-176; Zhang, 2011, 27, 9473-9483).
Although the use of cationic lipids for cellular delivery of biologically active agents has been shown to have several advantages, there still remains a need for further cationic lipids that facilitate the systemic and local delivery of biologically active agents such as mRNA and RNAi agents to cells. There is also a need for cationic lipids that, relative to those cationic lipids that are known in the art, improve the systemic and local delivery of biologically active agents to cells. There is a further need for lipid formulations that have optimized physical characteristics for improved systemic and local delivery of biologically active agents to specific organs and to tumors, especially tumors outside the liver.
In addition, there is a need for further cationic lipids that provide decreased toxicity (or improved therapeutic index), relative to those cationic lipids that are known in the art. Traditional cationic lipids have been employed for RNA and DNA delivery to the liver or tumors but suffer from non-optimal delivery efficiency along with tissue and organ toxicity at higher doses. One method of reducing exposure and increasing biocompatability of cationic lipids is to incorporate chemically or biochemically degradable functionalities, (such as ester, amide, acetal, imine, etc.), which can lead to enhanced in vivo clearance (Maier, 2013, 21, 1570-1578). | mini_pile | {'original_id': '311d20a1b122278188c227529238ec32c9d9c5c0583dd318f2f5f6f937f47913'} |

“My mother never had time for me. When you’re the middle child in a family of five million, you don’t get any attention.” Woody Allen
According to cultural lore, as well as multiple online reports, studies, comments and articles, middle children frequently suffer from feelings of being overlooked by parents, thus creating feelings inferiority. It is known as Middle Child Syndrome.
I am the fifth child of seven, so technically, I am not smack in the middle. I am, however, the middle of the three girls. Suzanne is younger than me, and there is one brother younger than her. Gail is the second-born, with one brother older than her.
Older children, it is noted, tend to have stronger personalities and are typically leaders. These two aspects, in the very best of ways, describe Gail.
Youngest children, in contrast, tend to be charming and popular, which describes Suzanne exactly, but perhaps not for the reasons cited: youngest children have developed social skills that will get other people to do things for them.
I can say honestly that as a child, I knew only this: Mom and Dad loved us all fiercely, and all resources—time, the little money we had, and energy—was equally divided among all of us. I don’t ever recall feeling slighted. I do remember hanging out with my two brothers just above me, because we were the closest in age, and Mom was likely busy with Suzanne and Ryan.
Apparently, while Gail was busy helping Mom with the babies and the house, David, John and I whiled away the hours outside building forts in the wooded area behind the house, working our own plots of land on our make-believe farm, building haystacks in the hayloft in the barn, going fishing and generally keeping ourselves busy with all the outdoors had to offer, much like all farm kids did back then. Indoors, I remember reading Motor Trend magazine with them, playing pool, playing board games and the occasional game of football—indoors. The most memorable one was in the living room, and I was the football. I learned to be physically tough.
When I am in a social situation that necessitates good-natured talk of a physical fight, and the other party perceives my small stature to ensure a win for them, I remind them that I grew up with four brothers, and while I am relatively small, I am mighty if I need to be.
So don’t mess with me.
They’re all good…
We have no control over our birth order, and I cannot imagine being anything besides the middle sister. I get to be sandwiched between my two best friends; I get to be the middle link. I get to look up to Gail, and, as I have mentioned many times, I look up to Suzanne, too. She is infinitely wiser than me in so many ways. I get to be there for either of them if I can help, and I ask them for help, too.
Gail, being the natural-born leader, quickly assumed the role of matriarch when our parents died. She was self-appointed, but by birth order and virtue of her exceeding qualifications, she was the best woman for the job. She had big shoes to fill, and she continues to fill them well.
The dark side of the online studies and reports I read is this: there are often resentments between siblings—and sisters—predictable by birth order. If resources were unevenly distributed among the children, this negativity may result. If achievements by the sibling that appeared to be more favored—often the younger child–are more celebrated by parents, this resentment grows. If one child was perceived as the clear “favorite” by the parents, this is an almost sure set-up for further conflict.
I remember telling Dad that we didn’t fight among ourselves, because there was no reason to. There was no uneven allocation of resources, no wealth that may have been perceived to be unevenly shared and ultimately divided in the end.
Very simply, we didn’t have anything to fight over. No favorites—although Suzanne, in that charming style I mentioned above, will make frequent jokes about all that was bestowed upon her, while we toiled away to make it on our own in college and making our way in the world after that.
Unlike Woody Allen, I never felt that Mom and Dad didn’t have time for us. Growing up, my most vivid memories of Dad were as a busy farmer, and Mom was perpetually busy with laundry, while Gail was the chief chef for nine people.
But they always had time if we needed it, and they always seemed to know when to take a moment to play a game, read a book, wipe a tear or band-aid an arm. They always kept us their priority, their Magnificent Seven.
And number five of that seven is the perfect place for me, between Gail and Suzanne. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '5', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9616918563842772}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '49636', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RK2U2UJS47RACSOU7W63FRCZDMWCSCHG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:05335eb2-7ba5-4129-b388-af1c5f291c3b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 24, 7, 6, 17), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.24', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:XACCXJHFUKLSYSAE2P3TVP7H5WM3CFGT', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a4aa7b85-a8b5-4a78-9b59-20245169825d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://thesisterlode.com/tag/sisterhod/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:6d836fd4-64ee-4b05-8a8c-3a5be508ed05>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '826', 'url': 'https://thesisterlode.com/tag/sisterhod/', '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-10-143-100-67.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': '0.028310537338256836', 'original_id': '67b7dba82779e9d4470c80a0460707f07a02b240978ffcf517affcfae76bb228'} |
Mitch Nichols and Marc Warren have today departed the club by mutual consent.
Nichols has left for family reasons, while Warren has been allowed to move on in order to explore opportunities elsewhere.
26-year-old defender Warren made a total of 37 appearances for the club after arriving in 2015, while during his two spells in the West, midfielder Nichols played 27 times and scored one goal.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank both Mitch and Marc for their services to the club and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours,” said Glory CEO Peter Filopoulos.

Yeah... I'm perfect. What about it?
Ricky Bobby says, "I wake up every morning and pee excellence." It must be a hard job but someone has to do it. I completely feel the same way. Don't you?
-Yeah right
Lets be honest with one another. I don't think there's a single one of our clients who comes to Versus perfect. Some are in bad health, some have preexisting injuries, or have a unique situation or set of circumstances.
Perfection... Life doesn't doesn't work out that way does it? We all have our "stuff".
Versus Strength and Conditioning is here for the not so perfect. We don't ask you to get all of your stuff sorted out before you come. Because the truth is, there will always be new stuff when the old stuff is sorted.
Rather, we help you get in shape even when the conditions aren't perfect.
If you are sitting on your couch waiting for life to be juuuuuusst right... well... you will always be waiting. Conditions will never be perfect.
So what do you do? Get off of your couch, come try a class for free and take the first step to getting your health back. Versus Outdoor Boot Camps start August 27th. Put your "stuff" aside and sign up! Or you can stay on your couch and wait for things to get "perfect".

Corrective Exercises
The office Rambo!
Kellar and I went on our honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Cabo was an amazing little city with a very cool harbor and what I called a "New Orleans" feel. I got the New Orleans feel because we walked everywhere, there were street performers out and about and awesome restaurants seemed to pop out the city scape.
One of these said restaurants was "The Office." Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend The Office if you are ever in Cabo. Besides the amazing food and the amazing atmosphere, there was one more little thing that made The Office super awesome.... The Office Rambo (pictured above).
This dude was epic. End of story.
We learned many things on hour 4 hour journey with The Office Rambo. What tequila to shoot/drink, He charged 5$ for a photograph, the leather belts that ran across his chest held shot glasses and not bullets and finally he told us about corrective exercises.
-Yes, corrective exercises.
The Office Rambo's Top 5 Corrective Exercises:
1. Wall Slides
How To Do It
Standing with your upper back and butt against a wall, walk your feet out a couple of small steps away from the wall. Lift your arms up so that your upper arm is parallel to the ground and your lower arm is perpendicular, with the elbows and hands pressing into the wall behind you.
From the starting position, try to pull your elbows back into the wall and down and squeeze your back. Perform 2 sets of 10 reps everyday! These are courtesy of Eric Cressey.
2. Super Couch Stretch
A few tips:
1. make sure you activate your muscles as apposed to "hanging out" on the joint.
2. on a pain scale of 1-10 make it about an 8. You should able to tolerate the pain.
3. If something starts to go numb... stop.
4. Perform for 90sec on each leg
3. Seated 90/90 or "The Executive"
A few tips:
1. Stay tall!
2. Don't press down too hard. You should feel this on the outsides of your hips and not a separating style pressure in your knees.
3. Do this stretch for 20-30 seconds as many times as you can! Especially if you sit in chair all day!
4. Door Way stretch or "Jack the Ripper"
To do it, find a doorway, and put your arms on both sides of the frame at roughly 90 degrees each. Make sure your upper arms stay on the doorway the entire time. Now, simply lean forward, keeping your chest high and chin up. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 min.
5. Glute Bridge
Squeeze your butt the entire time. Lightly touch the floor and immediately lift your hips again. Hold at the top of the movement for 2 seconds. Do at least 3 sets of 10 reps. Remember hold at the top!
Well there you have it folks. The office Rambo top 5 corrective exercises.
Take away points from this:
1. Perform these every day! You will thank me later if you do
2. YOU MUST make mobility and corrective exercises a part of your daily routine. If you do not, you will be hunted down by the Office Rambo!! But seriously, professional athletes do them all the time... why shouldn't we? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9160341620445251}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '78022', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:YWGWTE2PAGYZJHFTFWOVDWFIXYA63XXR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:bc31d688-50a4-4375-a12a-7cce55fb0e73>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 11, 19, 26, 16), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.5.243', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MZS5NBI72ZR4XEDX3O6KEFFGG5WBRNT6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a93f7ceb-0153-443d-9735-b645dd36f11e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.stevesmusclepalace.com/2013/07/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:158ff22a-be1e-4c60-a502-667fbc78ac91>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '775', 'url': 'http://www.stevesmusclepalace.com/2013/07/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-215.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.05138474702835083', 'original_id': 'a255f974249799df70c2631831c76a21e9ac129c70304c8163fc3d88477aa79a'} |

Curious if Jeff will be apoplectic if Dark Souls manages to edge out Mass Effect 2, given his feelings on the "---- Souls" series.

It's something I can't really put my finger on. Is it because every time he manages to come up with a new skill or event in his life that blows us away (learning to fly a fighter jet, going to North Korea)? Or is he just a plain 'ol affable guy?
#3 Posted by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 9 months, 15 days ago
If Jeff is referring to Sim City, one wonders if his frustration is due to it being bugged out the ass. I don't know about you, but most games of that form don't seem to be that rage-inducing to me even when they are crap.
#4 Posted by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 9 months, 15 days ago
Don't forget the world is 70% covered in water, a lot of ground to cover and a lot of it too deep for even modern submersibles to find. Good odds that if it was destroyed it fell into the oceanic zone with much of the debris sinking to the bottom. However, that does leave the question about the many blimps and balloons that kept Columbia airborne, of which quite a few would have a good chance of keeping afloat and be carried by the currents to someplace inhabitable.

I do hope they consider doing "The Void/Tension/Turgor" at some point. It's Russian. It's weird. And could only find an appreciative audience on the PC. It's totally a "Dave" game. And the game is made by the same demented minds behind "Cargo! The Quest for Gravity!" (even if tonally they're on the two most extreme ends of the spectrum).
#6 Edited by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 10 months, 10 days ago
Hey, it's a fine enough program if you approach not as a game (though you in all likelihood already know that, it bears repeating). After a long day at work or class, I'll load it up for probably 30 minutes or so, soak in the atmosphere, the sights, and the sounds, and the words. After that''s done, I'll play something else. There is no challenge, but it's a good meditative tool, and this comes from someone who enjoys a good man-shoots, role-playing, or strategy game as much as the other guy.
In all honesty, I think it's a great "Dave" game: It's foreign, it's out there, and it can only find some modicum of acceptance from the PC gamer community
#7 Posted by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 10 months, 19 days ago
Watching the Human Revolution Quick Look, it felt as if Jeff was the absolute worst person to review it of all of Giant Bomb. Were it reviewed by Dave who understood where the series (or, at least, the most well-received entry of the series) had its strengths, it would have been the far more informative review for me. That Jeff played DX: HR more as a shooter and he gave the Syndicate reboot a 5 out of 5 is sort of telling.
#8 Posted by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 11 months, 26 days ago
Right now there's a heated argument over which right, the First or the Second Amendments, that was abused was the thing that caused what happened. We're caught in a dichotomy that's either/or, but does that mean there isn't a solution out there that doesn't come at the cost of sacrifices in either?
To me, it's as much folly to dismiss the idea that violent films and video games didn't at least grease the rails insomuch as easily available assault weapons and concealed firearms caused a higher body count. I don't mean to suggest that video games should scale down violence in their games by any stretch of the imagination, or that by the same token federal law enforcement should start rigorous investigations with shaky legal authority and dubious mandate to hunt down all semi/fully-automatic weapons out there and melt them down.
If anything, I think more blame falls on what Marilyn Manson called "The Culture of Fear" and the de facto discrimination in the United States against those who live on the margins of the country's cultural mores. It's what caused his mother to live in denial that there was something wrong with that guy. I of course am not asking you to sympathise with him; remember that empathy and sympathy more times than not don't mean the same thing. But as ugly as the proposition is, and as ugly as what we might find if we dig deeper into these killers' heads, if we don't understand what it is that's causing these people to crack, we're not getting any closer to making these things stop.
#9 Edited by Lamashtu (252 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago
Well look at it this way: Maybe there's some 30-something guy out there who hasn't played a computer game since the Amiga days, sees there is a reboot to a fond memory of his, Syndicate, and Jeff's 5-star review just so happens to be the first review he sees.
I have a feeling that man is in for a very rude surprise when he boots that game up.

2930.07 Protection of victim's identification information.
(A) If the prosecutor in a case determines that there are reasonable grounds for the victim in a case to be apprehensive regarding acts or threats of violence or intimidation by the defendant or alleged juvenile offender in the case or at the defendant's or alleged juvenile offender's direction against the victim, the victim's family, or the victim's representative, the prosecutor may file a motion with the court requesting that the court issue an order specifying that the victim and other witnesses in the case not be compelled in any phase of the criminal or delinquency proceeding to give testimony that would disclose the victim's or victim's representative's address, place of employment, or similar identifying fact without the victim's or victim's representative's consent. The court shall hold a hearing on the motion in chambers, and a court reporter shall make a record of the proceeding.

Boy Meets Boy The Realm of Possibility
Are We There Yet?
Marly's Ghost
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
Wide Awake
Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List
The Realm of Possibility is told by twenty different teens who go to the same high school – straight and queer, goth and gospel, hopeful and heartbroken. Here are two of the twenty parts:
My girlfriend is in love with Holden Caulfield
My girfriend is in love with Holden Caulfield
and it is driving me CRAZY. She has read that book
thirteen times, which is about eleven more times than
she’s bothered to read me. Everything she sees now
is PHONY. Starbucks is PHONY. Our teachers are
PHONY. Society is PHONY. And love – well, love
is the phoniest of all. At first I tried real hard
to argue, but that made me one of THEM and not
HIM. She tells me he is sweet because he wants
to stop all of the little children from running off
where a group of children would be running towards
I can get everything so wrong. Not like Holden,
who would be like seventy years old right now, but
she misses being a kid, just like Holden misses riding
the carousel. But what’s going to stop us from getting on
the carousel, from sledding at midnight, from candy
and crushes? Just because we’re having sex doesn’t mean
says that’s because he hasn’t met the right girl, one who’d
UNDERSTAND him. She says this the same night we
it’s spineless. Whoever made the cover blank knew
what he was doing, because what image of Holden could be
stronger than the picture in my girlfriend’s head?
We’ve been going out for five months now, sleeping
together for two, fighting over who loves who
for one. I used to love that she could love
that it was from her. Then I made the mistake of
CRITICIZING. I said that Holden seemed pretty sad.
And she said, yeah, that’s because his brother died,
it took a certain kind of person to see the truth
it wouldn’t be charming. She wouldn’t love that
falling off the cliff, but WHO WOULDN’T? Does she think
that she doesn’t see it. Instead she sees the PHONINESS,
she deplores the world even after I point out that
were headed toward that abyss, I would grab hold
with every ounce of my strength, with every scared beat
she’d do the same. But maybe her hands would be busy
holding the book. Maybe she wouldn’t see me, too intent
on looking for Phoebe from the carousel. Or waiting for Holden
plunged past her, sad to be leaving, and a little
happy to be away.
Your Sister
My first days of high school, I wanted to change
my last name, I wanted my own identity.
Not because everybody hated you, but because
they loved you so much, and I was not you.
You had just left and I had just arrived,
and I could no more take your place
than a noontime shadow can take the shape
of the body that leaves it behind.
Mr. Delaney was new, so I could not remind him
of you. But the rest of the teachers
were soon disappointed that I had not studied
you better, had not learned the same things.
I could not live up, so I lived down
the boys who passed their crushes on to me,
the girls who wanted me to join things
so they could be in charge of me as you were of them.
I wanted you more than ever
to have never existed.
I was the keeper of a flame
that had never been lit.
It's not that you hadn't taught me things,
or that I hadn't listened. When I got my schedule in May,
you talked me through from teacher to teacher,
telling me your version of the truth.
You could flirt your way to extensions
with Mr. Peterson, while Mrs. Platt would rather
stick a fork in your ear than answer a question twice.
Mr. Rose gave the same tests every year.
Mrs. Green had been sweet to you, and
(you promised) would be sweet to me, too.
What I should've known was this said more about you
than it did about her, and nothing really about me.
This was the one time we talked about high school
since you were already planning for college.
My change was a matter of streets while yours
was a matter of latitudes.
I could not compete, so didn't.
I dove into your preparations,
went shopping for a wastebasket and a microwave,
which would be going with you instead of me.
This was how we'd always played.
You were Cinderella, I was a mouse.
You were Alice, I was the Hatter.
You were the sun, and I wasn't even the moon.
I loved being the supporting character,
because I felt it was my way of supporting you.
I asked for nothing in return
and wanted so much.
I pierced my ear four times
and ditched my old friends,
the girls who idolized you
to the point of missing me.
When Andy Reilly told me
I looked as good as you
he meant it as a compliment
and I told him to get lost.
He told me to get lost
then called me that night
to say it again.
We laughed, and I was free.
You told me about boys but always waited
to tell me about the ones who you liked.
You treated me like a direct line to Mom
when all I wanted was to keep your secrets.
When I was twelve I was too old for a baby-sitter
and you were too old to be a baby-sitter.
But Mom and Dad shackled us with allowances
so I became your Saturday night burden, and you mine.
Then Mike Reilly came over with flowers
and I knew something was going to happen.
I watched the TV and tried to listen to you
murmuring in the other room.
You left me with two slices of pizza and a soda.
You left me with a look and the door closed.
I was smart enough to know, but not enough to be angry.
You left me and wouldn't even say where you were going.
Even after you were away, I heard things.
Those barbed admirations from girls
you probably didn't know all that well
but who felt they'd figured you inside out.
You call from college and talk to me first
if I happen to be the one who answers the phone.
You ask how it is, and you're asking about your absence.
You say to fill you in, but you're not empty.
I try to picture you in the halls you've left to me -
it looks like a parade, everyone celebrating you.
I keep my head down, try to play
the girl who doesn't say hello.
Andy says he remembers you
coming over, charming his parents.
He remembers when you ended it, how Mike tore
at his shelves and broke his books.
And I tell him the truth - that you
cried for days and screamed at me
when my music got too loud, as if
I was flooding you with love songs.
I wonder what you would think of me
and Andy. I imagine you would approve
and I don't want to care about that.
I want to keep my own secret now.
I go into your room at night
and search the walls for clues.
You are my glimpse of the future
and I don't really know you at all.
The worst is Cara Segal, fulfilling
her reputation as the worst.
You'd think a senior would have better things to do
than to search me out for taunts.
At first it's just comments, calling me
your runt, your clone, a slut like my sister.
She wears her jealousy in a rage,
looking at me and seeing you.
I want you there to defend me.
I want you there to show there are two of us.
I want you there because I don't know what to do
and I am sure you'd know exactly.
But you are thousands of people away.
So when Cara tells Andy and everyone else
that I am history repeating, that I will
kill his heart recklessly, I must take her on myself.
He doesn't believe her, but I don't like her
saying it. So I find her in the cafeteria
and belt her with an orange plastic tray.
It's not what you would do, but it works.
Being suspended is an unexpected reward.
I am suddenly considered
another kind of person.
And I am that kind of person, if provoked.
When I get out of the principal's office
Andy is by my locker with flowers
he skipped seventh period to buy.
He carries them on an orange plastic tray.
I do not want to be your history repeating
but you are my history nonetheless.
I do not want you to be my guide
but I want to see which way you went.
I come home and Mom is on the phone
with you, relaying the news with concern.
You ask to speak to me, and I expect
another sermon of disapproval.
But instead you say way to go
and tell me you should have smacked Cara
when you’d had the chance.
You are proud of me.
I don't want you to be my definition.
and still I want you to mean something to me.
I have lost having you here, and here
you are, saying I am going to be a star.
The year you left, I was always missing you.
Your life was moving so fast
away from me, and I could only
grab hold so much, so tight.
But there were moments when you were still
with me, and it is these moments I gather
when I try to summon you, conjure you.
I tell Andy the stories, like the night of your prom.
I remember how you came into my room after midnight.
You were still Cinderella, ball-adorned
in the quarterlight of the hour.
You told me to follow you outside.
So we crept down the sleeping stairs
careful not to wake anything but the folds of your dress
which fell effortlessly, carelessly to the ground,
clearing the path for my bare footsteps.
I would have followed you anywhere
and you took me to our backyard
to where the swing set used to preside
the place you taught me to move my legs to go higher.
I whispered when I asked you how the dance was
and you whispered back a word so soft
I felt you were talking in a dream language
I was too young and too nervous to know.
Before I could ask you more, you bent your knees,
sat down, lied back on the grass in your pearl-colored dress,
telling me to slip beside you, to be quiet and stare
at something far enough away to make my thoughts rise.
I still do not know why you wanted me there,
what made you think of me at that moment.
But as I felt the damp ground against my nightgown
you reached over and let your hand rest on mine.
Above there were stars and planets,
distant bodies so intriguing and elusive,
formed like a pattern across night's ceiling,
a map to all that I could not reach.
A car might have passed, crickets may have sung...
all I can remember is the silence.
When I turned to look at you, I was afraid to move again -
the moment was just too beautiful to be lost.

Simonides, Elegies: second century AD
The first fragment of Simonides fifth century BC elegy on the Battle of Plataea, written on the occasion of the victory and in memory of those who fought and fell. The fragment contains parts of the proem, praising Achilles and the heroes who fought at Troy, then an invocation of the Muses and a transition to the historical part of the elegy narrating the battle. The fragment overlaps with Oxyrhynchus papyrus 2327 (image), first published as anonymous early elegiacs by E. Lobel, who later recognised the identification with Simonides. Fr.27 of 2327 supplies the line-ends of the first column of this papyrus and remains of a second column, although the two papyrus manuscripts differed in their column layout: | mini_pile | {'original_id': '533a6e20e1d4bb23101a9dc6a7c2d845dfceba698723ea9d8d7b51dce2902ac7'} |

Paint Defects
Random breaks or crevices in the paint film, often adjacent to filled seams or panel edges. Cracks frequently take form of a three pointed star. The depth of penetration of the paint film varies, severe cracks may penetrate to the substrate.
Fine cracks of splits may occur at the featheredge of a spot repair shortly after the application of the topcoat.
Weakness such as blistering being exaggerated by weathering, or magnification of stresses normally present in the paint film. These stresses are increased by:
1. Inadequate mixing of materials prior to application, insufficient thinning of the wrong grade of thinner.
2. Poor preparation of the surface; too coarse abrasives, inadequate cleaning or poor seam filling.
3. Contamination by oil or water in the air line.
4. Excessive film thickness and insufficient drying time between coats, cold air fanning causing the surface to dry over trapped solvent.
5. Substrate too hot or too cold during spraying
6. Application of thermosetting topcoat over partially cured paint film or thermoplastic acrylic topcoat.
1. Always mix paint thoroughly, and use the correct amount of recommended thinner.
2. Prepare the surface carefully, using the correct grade of abrasives. Ensure that seams are correctly filled. Clean surfaces thoroughly, paying special attention to feather edges.
3. Always maintain compressed air equipment properly.
4. Use correct spraying techniques. Apply paint in thin, wet films and allow adequate drying time between coats.
5. Ensure that the surface is within the recommended temperature range before commencing spraying.
6. Isolate the thermoplastic acrylic with a light coat of epoxy primer.
In minor cases, where only the topcoat is affected, sand down to a sound finish and repaint. If cracking has penetrated the primer, strip all paint from the affected area, ensure that any defects in the substrate are corrected and repaint, persist, rub down the surface and repaint. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9062563180923462}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '28487', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:YVZTW5ZDEY4JB3UDAPS7JP72D4ODTXLA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8bc5240c-5954-4dc5-95a8-15a07a6d4303>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 21, 2, 28, 28), 'WARC-IP-Address': '13.92.139.214', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:KSMHQXIKDFIIRBGMCKWMEDU6K6LXLMOC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d94bee2e-2643-4a3e-bd7d-6291aa8f7b5e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.ppgrefinish.com.au/Training/Paint-Defects/Cracking.aspx', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:483b5e67-ba0b-4126-9322-9a928380c673>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '318', 'url': 'http://www.ppgrefinish.com.au/Training/Paint-Defects/Cracking.aspx', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-103.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': '0.6425820589065552', 'original_id': 'ee8e428bcf863a2839a80501c90f370924df95d5465de6b106ea277600f9fdbf'} |

Why are Raccoons Destroying My Lawn?
Raccoons live just about everywhere, from the East Coast all the way to California. These animals are nocturnal feeders that feed on your sweet corn, though they also feed on fruit trees, potatoes, peas and grubs. Wild raccoons cause many problems not only to people, but also to the environment as well. Even though they prefer areas with trees and a water source, more and more of them are raiding gardens since gardens are an easy source of food. Raccoons in a yard are capable of turning the entire landscape upside down. A family of raccoons will wreak havoc on your garden as they forage and strip plants of everything good for eating.
Most of their mischief is due in search of food, and the much sought-after delicacy is grubs. If a large number of grubs are present in your lawn, you may attract raccoons. These animals feed on the grubs and in doing so, they will dig to reach the grubs, damaging your lawn further. Really most grubs, which are in increasingly good supply are the European Chafer beetle. Raccoons are known for tearing up lawns completely in search for grub worms. Just one Raccoon is capable of destroying an entire yard in one night. Wild raccoons live in hollow logs, attics, under porches and have even been found living in farm machinery and in garages. Usually in winter, Animal Control gets lots of calls for Raccoons in people’s homes.
How to Identify Raccoons in your Garden
If your lawn has plenty of holes in it, or even your mulch pile has lots of holes, you probably have a nocturnal visitor. Raccoons will dig lawns and mulch piles up looking for insects to eat. Besides, they will empty bird feeders as well, and so keep an eye on these to see whether you have a raccoon problem. The proliferation and persistence of raccoons has inspired a couple of solutions; one of them is bound to work for you.
You can check and alter your watering schedule to watering in the morning from watering in the evening. This will allow the draining the soil before evening when raccoons are out foraging. Often, water less to avoid saturating the ground under the lawn. The smell of household ammonia, set out strategically in ‘Ammonia Stations’ is bound to discourage raccoons from digging your yard up. Ammonia stations can be made by soaking rags in ammonia and then placing them in metal containers for instance baking trays or old coffee cans, so the household ammonia won’t leak out into the ground.
Eradicating the grubs, and these critters will consequently stop digging. Controlling the population of raccoons could land you in detention and take it from me, the ground can be blown to smithereens and they will be clinging to a fragment of cosmic debris, digging it up for grubs like nothing ever happened. You will not win. If your green lawn is being dug up you’ll need a diagnosis. Check whether your lawn has infested with the delectable European Chafer.
To fix this problem you will need an effective natural parasite called beneficial nematodes (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora), that effectively gets rid of these grubs. When used correctly, nematodes are an organic form of pest control which can help reduce the number of grubs under your lawn. These microscopic organisms subsist in the garden soil and consume garden pests including the grubs that attract raccoons. Ask your local lawn centre associate for details of application or check out videos online explaining how nematodes are applied to your lawn.
But managing these masked diggers goes beyond that. Many people have given good feedback regarding the use of raccoon deterrents such as cayenne pepper, coyote urine (or ‘marking-your-territory’ yourself!) or even commercial repellents which are all somewhat effective. Used along side the ammonia stations, generous applications of commercial repellents can help you to make your lawn a place raccoon moms won’t desire to bring the ‘kids’. If your green lawn is small enough, you can unroll chicken-wire over the areas where the wild raccoons like to dig to frustrate them.
Just remember to move the chicken-wire every few days so it does not grow into the lawn. Also think about switching from a lush green lawn to more sustainable ecosystem which does not require as much water. Without the oversaturation that a green lawn requires, you will conserve water, foster co-existence and also save yourself from the aggravation of raccoons just being raccoons

Star Wars Pit Droids is a great puzzle game from the fine minds at Lucas Learning. From the nicely detailed graphics to the intricate gameplay to the jazzy soundtrack, this one is sure to appeal to any Star Wars fan young or old.
George Lucas has always been interested in using technology to help kids learn, and this tie-in to Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace exemplifies that interest (as does Star Wars Episode One: The Gungan Frontier, another educational game from the company). Given the number of people with Phd's who are credited as subject matter experts in the credits, it's obvious that the intent was not to make some half-hearted edutainment title with the Star Wars name on it just to make a few bucks. The team which put this game together obviously was interested in kids having fun while learning at the same time.
I thought the pit droids were one of the most fanciful creations to appear in Episode One, so they were a natural for a game like this. The idea is to use arrows to maneuver them to their appropriate goals so that they can be moved to the next stage in the game; the idea is to get them to the Mos Espa arena for use in the next pod race. It sounds simple, but, of course, it's not when you actually play the game. Some of the droids are different colors, so they can only go into the goals which share that color. Some of the puzzles have machines which paint the droids, so that's useful as long as you use your arrows wisely (there's only a finite supply) and maneuver them there before sending them to the goal.
Oh yeah, and some of the goals are locked, so the droids have to pass over the right key space to unlock them, and others have hazards surrounding them such as giant fans which propel the droids into the sky. You need to send a certain number out of each puzzle and into the next stage before you can move forward in the game, so you can't just waste them. Luckily you can pause the action to catch your breath, and R2-D2 is available to help you figure out what all the buttons do while C-3PO has a few tours to get you started.
3PO is his half-finished Episode One self, and he has plenty of his usual quips and comments, which are amusing as always. R2 only exists as a button in the interface, though, which is a slight bummer. It would have been fun to have seen him and his companion interact in their Laurel and Hardy way, but that's not a requirement here.
As it stands, though, the game has plenty of other nice little touches. I loved the pit droids' personalities in the movie, and their actions are very similar here. If they run into a dead end in the puzzle, for example, they look up at you and shake their metal fists and jump up and down in frustration. It's amusing to watch them bang into walls or each other, although you have to be careful or you won't have any left to advance to the next stage. The opening of the game also has a great animation wherein Watto shows up and gives you a lecture about how he needs all those pit droids in the arena for the race (as with every Star Wars-related game, this one opens with a roll-up explaining the backstory and then pans down to the surface of the planet before getting started).
The music is easily the best I've heard in a videogame in a long time. They're all original compositions, and they have a nice jazzy quality which is a lot of fun. While this game would still garner a high rating even if it had lousy music, the fact that the development team put such care into this part of it really earns it some bonus points. So often videogame music is merely nondescript or pedestrian.
There are literally hundreds of puzzles, so you shouldn't have to worry about running out of ones to solve, and there's even a puzzle maker so that you can create your own. I really hope it sparks the imaginations of lots of kids (and even adults) out there. Kudos to Lucas for caring enough about education to greenlight a project like this, and kudos to the team which obviously went the extra mile to pull it off.
Graphics: Great all around, with plenty of little touches.
Sound: Some of the best music I've heard in a game in a long time along with great sound effects.
Enjoyment: I think kids as well as adults will really get a kick out of this title.
Replay Value: There are hundreds of puzzles to play as well as the chance to make new ones.

Herodotus Book 1: Clio [20]
20. Thus much I know by the report of the people of Delphi; but the Milesians add to this that Periander the son of Kypselos, being a special guest-friend of Thrasybulos the then despot of Miletos, heard of the oracle which had been given to Alyattes, and sending a messenger told Thrasybulos, in order that he might have knowledge of it beforehand and take such counsel as the case required. This is the story told by the Milesians. 20. [1] Δελφῶν οἶδα ἐγὼ οὕτω ἀκούσας γενέσθαι· Μιλήσιοι δὲ τάδε προστιθεῖσι τούτοισι, Περίανδρον τὸν Κυψέλου ἐόντα Θρασυβούλῳ τῷ τότε Μιλήτου τυραννεύοντι ξεῖνον ἐς τὰ μάλιστα, πυθόμενον τὸ χρηστήριον τὸ τῷ Ἀλυάττῃ γενόμενον, πέμψαντα ἄγγελον κατειπεῖν, ὅκως ἄν τι προειδὼς πρὸς τὸ παρεὸν βουλεύηται. Μιλήσιοι μέν νυν οὕτω λέγουσι γενέσθαι.
21. And Alyattes, when this answer was reported to him, sent a herald forthwith to Miletos, desiring to make a truce with Thrasybulos and the Milesians for so long a time as he should be building the temple. He then was being sent as envoy to Miletos; and Thrasybulos in the meantime being informed beforehand of the whole matter and knowing what Alyattes was meaning to do, contrived this device:--he gathered together in the market-place all the store of provisions which was found in the city, both his own and that which belonged to private persons; and he proclaimed to the Milesians that on a signal given by him they should all begin to drink and make merry with one another. 21. [1] Ἀλυάττης δέ, ὡς οἱ ταῦτα ἐξαγγέλθη, αὐτίκα ἔπεμπε κήρυκα ἐς Μίλητον βουλόμενος σπονδὰς ποιήσασθαι Θρασυβούλῳ τε καὶ Μιλησίοισι χρόνον ὅσον ἂν τὸν νηὸν οἰκοδομέῃ. ὃ μὲν δὴ ἀπόστολος ἐς τὴν Μίλητον ἦν, Θρασύβουλος δὲ σαφέως προπεπυσμένος πάντα λόγον, καὶ εἰδὼς τὰ Ἀλυάττης μέλλοι ποιήσειν, μηχανᾶται τοιάδε· [2] ὅσος ἦν ἐν τῷ ἄστεϊ σῖτος καὶ ἑωυτοῦ καὶ ἰδιωτικός, τοῦτον πάντα συγκομίσας ἐς τὴν ἀγορὴν προεῖπε Μιλησίοισι, ἐπεὰν αὐτὸς σημήνῃ, τότε πίνειν τε πάντας καὶ κώμῳ χρᾶσθαι ἐς ἀλλήλους.
22. This Thrasybulos did and thus proclaimed to the end that the herald from Sardis, seeing a vast quantity of provisions carelessly piled up, and the people feasting, might report this to Alyattes: and so on fact it happened; for when the herald returned to Sardis after seeing this and delivering to Thrasybulos the charge which was given to him by the king of Lydia, the peace which was made, came about, as I am informed, merely because of this. For Alyattes, who thought that there was a great famine in Miletos and that the people had been worn down to the extreme of misery, heard from the herald, when he returned from Miletos, the opposite to that which he himself supposed. And after this the peace was made between them on condition of being guest-friends and allies to one another, and Alyattes built two temples to Athene at Assessos in place of one, and himself recovered from his sickness. With regard then to the war waged by Alyattes with the Milesians and Thrasybulos things went thus.
22. [1] ταῦτα δὲ ἐποίεέ τε καὶ προηγόρευε Θρασύβουλος τῶνδε εἵνεκεν, ὅκως ἂν δὴ ὁ κῆρυξ ὁ Σαρδιηνὸς ἰδών τε σωρὸν μέγαν σίτου κεχυμένον καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐν εὐπαθείῃσι ἐόντας ἀγγείλῃ Ἀλυάττῃ· [2] τὰ δὴ καὶ ἐγένετο. ὡς γὰρ δὴ ἰδών τε ἐκεῖνα ὁ κῆρυξ καὶ εἶπας πρὸς Θρασύβουλον τοῦ Λυδοῦ τὰς ἐντολὰς ἀπῆλθε ἐς τὰς Σάρδις, ὡς ἐγὼ πυνθάνομαι, δι᾽ οὐδὲν ἄλλο ἐγένετο ἡ διαλλαγή. [3] ἐλπίζων γὰρ ὁ Ἀλυάττης σιτοδείην τε εἶναι ἰσχυρὴν ἐν τῇ Μιλήτῳ καὶ τὸν λεὼν τετρῦσθαι ἐς τὸ ἔσχατον κακοῦ, ἤκουε τοῦ κήρυκος νοστήσαντος ἐκ τῆς Μιλήτου τοὺς ἐναντίους λόγους ἢ ὡς αὐτὸς κατεδόκεε. [4] μετὰ δὲ ἥ τε διαλλαγή σφι ἐγένετο ἐπ᾽ ᾧ τε ξείνους ἀλλήλοισι εἶναι καὶ συμμάχους, καὶ δύο τε ἀντὶ ἑνὸς νηοὺς τῇ Ἀθηναίῃ οἰκοδόμησε ὁ Ἀλυάττης ἐν τῇ Ἀσσησῷ, αὐτός τε ἐκ τῆς νούσου ἀνέστη. κατὰ μέν τὸν πρὸς Μιλησίους τε καὶ Θρασύβουλον πόλεμον Ἀλυάττῃ ὧδε ἔσχε.
23. As for Periander, the man who gave information about the oracle to Thrasybulos, he was the son of Kypselos, and despot of Corinth. In his life, say the Corinthians, (and with them agree the Lesbians), there happened to him a very great marvel, namely that Arion of Methymna was carried ashore at Tainaron upon a dolphin's back. This man was a harper second to none of those who then lived, and the first, so far as we know, who composed a dithyramb, naming it so and teaching it to a chorus at Corinth. 23. [1] Περίανδρος δὲ ἦν Κυψέλου παῖς οὗτος ὁ τῷ Θρασυβούλῳ τὸ χρηστήριον μηνύσας· ἐτυράννευε δὲ ὁ Περίανδρος Κορίνθου· τῷ δὴ λέγουσι Κορίνθιοι (ὁμολογέουσι δέ σφι Λέσβιοι) ἐν τῷ βίῳ θῶμα μέγιστον παραστῆναι, Ἀρίονα τὸν Μηθυμναῖον ἐπὶ δελφῖνος ἐξενειχθέντα ἐπὶ Ταίναρον, ἐόντα κιθαρῳδὸν τῶν τότε ἐόντων οὐδενὸς δεύτερον, καὶ διθύραμβον πρῶτον ἀνθρώπων τῶν ἡμεῖς ἴδμεν ποιήσαντά τε καὶ ὀνομάσαντα καὶ διδάξαντα ἐν Κορίνθῳ.
24. [1] τοῦτον τὸν Ἀρίονα λέγουσι, τὸν πολλὸν τοῦ χρόνου διατρίβοντα παρὰ Περιάνδρῳ ἐπιθυμῆσαι πλῶσαι ἐς Ἰταλίην τε καὶ Σικελίην, ἐργασάμενον δὲ χρήματα μεγάλα θελῆσαι ὀπίσω ἐς Κόρινθον ἀπικέσθαι. [2] ὁρμᾶσθαι μέν νυν ἐκ Τάραντος, πιστεύοντα δὲ οὐδαμοῖσι μᾶλλον ἢ Κορινθίοισι μισθώσασθαι πλοῖον ἀνδρῶν Κορινθίων. τοὺς δὲ ἐν τῷ πελάγεϊ ἐπιβουλεύειν τὸν Ἀρίονα ἐκβαλόντας ἔχειν τὰ χρήματα. τὸν δὲ συνέντα τοῦτο λίσσεσθαι, χρήματα μὲν σφι προϊέντα, ψυχὴν δὲ παραιτεόμενον. [3] οὔκων δὴ πείθειν αὐτὸν τούτοισι, ἀλλὰ κελεύειν τοὺς πορθμέας ἢ αὐτὸν διαχρᾶσθαί μιν, ὡς ἂν ταφῆς ἐν γῇ τύχῃ, ἢ ἐκπηδᾶν ἐς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ταχίστην· [4] ἀπειληθέντα δὴ τὸν Ἀρίονα ἐς ἀπορίην παραιτήσασθαι, ἐπειδή σφι οὕτω δοκέοι, περιιδεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ σκευῇ πάσῃ στάντα ἐν τοῖσι ἑδωλίοισι ἀεῖσαι· ἀείσας δὲ ὑπεδέκετο ἑωυτὸν κατεργάσασθαι. [5] καὶ τοῖσι ἐσελθεῖν γὰρ ἡδονὴν εἰ μέλλοιεν ἀκούσεσθαι τοῦ ἀρίστου ἀνθρώπων ἀοιδοῦ, ἀναχωρῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πρύμνης ἐς μέσην νέα. τὸν δὲ ἐνδύντα τε πᾶσαν τὴν σκευὴν καὶ λαβόντα τὴν κιθάρην, στάντα ἐν τοῖσι ἑδωλίοισι διεξελθεῖν νόμον τὸν ὄρθιον, τελευτῶντος δὲ τοῦ νόμου ῥῖψαί μιν ἐς τὴν θάλασσαν ἑωυτὸν ὡς εἶχε σὺν τῇ σκευῇ πάσῃ. [6] καὶ τοὺς μὲν ἀποπλέειν ἐς Κόρινθον, τὸν δὲ δελφῖνα λέγουσι ὑπολαβόντα ἐξενεῖκαι ἐπὶ Ταίναρον. ἀποβάντα δέ αὐτὸν χωρέειν ἐς Κόρινθον σὺν τῇ σκευῇ, καὶ ἀπικόμενον ἀπηγέεσθαι πᾶν τὸ γεγονός. [7] Περίανδρον δὲ ὑπὸ ἀπιστίης Ἀρίονα μὲν ἐν φυλακῇ ἔχειν οὐδαμῇ μετιέντα, ἀνακῶς δὲ ἔχειν τῶν πορθμέων. ὡς δὲ ἄρα παρεῖναι αὐτούς, κληθέντας ἱστορέεσθαι εἴ τι λέγοιεν περὶ Ἀρίονος. φαμένων δὲ ἐκείνων ὡς εἴη τε σῶς περὶ Ἰταλίην καί μιν εὖ πρήσσοντα λίποιεν ἐν Τάραντι, ἐπιφανῆναί σφι τὸν Ἀρίονα ὥσπερ ἔχων ἐξεπήδησε· καὶ τοὺς ἐκπλαγέντας οὐκ ἔχειν ἔτι ἐλεγχομένους ἀρνέεσθαι. [8] ταῦτα μέν νυν Κορίνθιοί τε καὶ Λέσβιοι λέγουσι, καὶ Ἀρίονος ἐστὶ ἀνάθημα χάλκεον οὐ μέγα ἐπὶ Ταινάρῳ, ἐπὶ δελφῖνος ἐπὲων ἄνθρωπος.
25. Alyattes the Lydian, when he had thus waged war against the Milesians, afterwards died, having reigned seven-and-fifty years. This king, when he recovered from his sickness, dedicated a votive offering at Delphi (being the second of his house who had so done), namely a great mixing-bowl of silver with a stand for it of iron welded together, which last is a sight worth seeing above all the offerings at Delphi and the work of Glaucos the Chian, who of all men first found out the art of welding iron.
25. [1] Ἀλυάττης δὲ ὁ Λυδὸς τὸν πρὸς Μιλησίους πόλεμον διενείκας μετέπειτα τελευτᾷ, βασιλεύσας ἔτεα ἑπτὰ καὶ πεντήκοντα. [2] ἀνέθηκε δὲ ἐκφυγὼν τὴν νοῦσον δεύτερος οὗτος τῆς οἰκίης ταύτης ἐς Δελφοὺς κρητῆρά τε ἀργύρεον μέγαν καὶ ὑποκρητηρίδιον σιδήρεον κολλητόν, θέης ἄξιον διὰ πάντων τῶν ἐν Δελφοῖσι ἀναθημάτων, Γλαύκου τοῦ Χίου ποίημα, ὃς μοῦνος δὴ πάντων ἀνθρώπων σιδήρου κόλλησιν ἐξεῦρε.
26. After Alyattes was dead Crœsus the son of Alyattes received the kingdom in succession, being five-and-thirty years of age. He (as I said) fought against the Hellenes and of them he attacked the Ephesians first. The Ephesians then, being besieged by him, dedicated their city to Artemis and tied a rope from the temple to the wall of the city: now the distance between the ancient city, which was then being besieged, and the temple is seven furlongs. These, I say, where the first upon whom Crœsus laid hands, but afterwards he did the same to the other Ionian and Aiolian cities one by one, alleging against them various causes of complaint, and making serious charges against those in whose cases he could find serious grounds, while against others of them he charged merely trifling offences.
26. [1] τελευτήσαντος δὲ Ἀλυάττεω ἐξεδέξατο τὴν βασιληίην Κροῖσος ὁ Ἀλυάττεω, ἐτέων ἐὼν ἡλικίην πέντε καὶ τριήκοντα· ὃς δὴ Ἑλλήνων πρώτοισι ἐπεθήκατο Ἐφεσίοισι. [2] ἔνθα δὴ οἱ Ἐφέσιοι πολιορκεόμενοι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀνέθεσαν τὴν πόλιν τῇ Ἀρτέμιδι, ἐξάψαντες ἐκ τοῦ νηοῦ σχοινίον ἐς τὸ τεῖχος. ἔστι δὲ μεταξὺ τῆς τε παλαιῆς πόλιος, ἣ τότε ἐπολιορκέετο, καὶ τοῦ νηοῦ ἑπτὰ στάδιοι. [3] πρώτοισι μὲν δὴ τούτοισι ἐπεχείρησε ὁ Κροῖσος, μετὰ δὲ ἐν μέρεϊ ἑκάστοισι Ἰώνων τε καὶ Αἰολέων, ἄλλοισι ἄλλας αἰτίας ἐπιφέρων, τῶν μὲν ἐδύνατο μέζονας παρευρίσκειν, μέζονα ἐπαιτιώμενος, τοῖσι δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ φαῦλα ἐπιφέρων.
27. Then when the Hellenes in Asia had been conquered and forced to pay tribute, he designed next to build for himself ships and to lay hands upon those who dwelt in the islands; and when all was prepared for his building of ships, they say that Bias of Priene (or, according to another account, Pittacos of Mytilene) came to Sardis, and being asked by Crœsus whether there was any new thing doing in Hellas, brought to an end his building of ships by this saying: "O king," said he, "the men of the islands are hiring a troop of ten thousand horse, and with this they mean to march to Sardis and fight against thee." And Crœsus, supposing that what he reported was true, said: "May the gods put it into the minds of the dwellers of the islands to come with horses against the sons of the Lydians!" And he answered and said: "O king, I perceive that thou dost earnestly desire to catch the men of the islands on the mainland riding upon horses; and it is not unreasonable that thou shouldest wish for this: what else however thinkest thou the men of the islands desire and have been praying for ever since the time they heard that thou wert about to build ships against them, than that they might catch the Lydians upon the sea, so as to take vengeance upon thee for the Hellenes who dwell upon the mainland, whom thou dost hold enslaved?" Crœsus, they say, was greatly pleased with this conclusion, and obeying his suggestion, for he judged him to speak suitably, he stopped his building of ships; and upon that he formed a friendship with the Ionians dwelling in the islands.
27. [1] ὡς δὲ ἄρα οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίῃ Ἕλληνες κατεστράφατο ἐς φόρου ἀπαγωγήν, τὸ ἐνθεῦτεν ἐπενόεε νέας ποιησάμενος ἐπιχειρέειν τοῖσι νησιώτῃσι. [2] ἐόντων δέ οἱ πάντων ἑτοίμων ἐς τὴν ναυπηγίην, οἳ μὲν Βίαντα λέγουσι τὸν Πριηνέα ἀπικόμενον ἐς Σάρδις, οἳ δὲ Πιττακὸν τὸν Μυτιληναῖον, εἰρομένου Κροίσου εἴ τι εἴη νεώτερον περὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα, εἰπόντα τάδε καταπαῦσαι τὴν ναυπηγίην· [3] «ὦ βασιλεῦ, νησιῶται ἵππον συνωνέονται μυρίην, ἐς Σάρδις τε καὶ ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν νόῳ ἔχοντες στρατεύεσθαι.» Κροῖσον δὲ ἐλπίσαντα λέγειν ἐκεῖνον ἀληθέα εἰπεῖν «αἲ γὰρ τοῦτο θεοὶ ποιήσειαν ἐπὶ νόον νησιώτῃσι, ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ Λυδῶν παῖδας σὺν ἵπποισι. [4] τὸν δὲ ὑπολαβόντα φάναι «ὦ βασιλεῦ, προθύμως μοι φαίνεαι εὔξασθαι νησιώτας ἱππευομένους λαβεῖν ἐν ἠπείρῳ, οἰκότα ἐλπίζων. νησιώτας δὲ τί δοκέεις εὔχεσθαι ἄλλο ἤ, ἐπείτε τάχιστα ἐπύθοντό σε μέλλοντα ἐπὶ σφίσι ναυπηγέεσθαι νέας, λαβεῖν ἀρώμενοι Λυδούς ἐν θαλάσσῃ, ἵνα ὓπερ τῶν ἐν τῇ ἠπείρῳ οἰκημένων Ἑλλήνων τίσωνταί σε, τοὺς σὺ δουλώσας ἔχεις;» [5] κάρτα τε ἡσθῆναι Κροῖσον τῷ ἐπιλόγῳ καί οἱ, προσφυέως γὰρ δόξαι λέγειν, πειθόμενον παύσασθαι τῆς ναυπηγίης. καὶ οὕτω τοῖσι τὰς νήσους οἰκημένοισι Ἴωσι ξεινίην συνεθήκατο.
28. As time went on, when nearly all those dwelling on this side the river Halys had been subdued, (for except the Kilikians and Lykians Crœsus subdued and kept under his rule all the nations, that is to say Lydians, Phrygians, Mysians, Mariandynoi, Chalybians, Paphlagonians, Thracians both Thynian and Bithynian, Carians, Ionians, Dorians, Aiolians, and Pamphylians), 28. [1] χρόνου δὲ ἐπιγινομένου καὶ κατεστραμμένων σχεδὸν πάντων τῶν ἐντὸς Ἅλυος ποταμοῦ οἰκημένων· πλὴν γὰρ Κιλίκων καὶ Λυκίων τοὺς ἄλλους πάντας ὑπ᾽ ἑωυτῷ εἶχε καταστρεψάμενος ὁ Κροῖσος. εἰσὶ δὲ οἵδε, Λυδοί, Φρύγες, Μυσοί, Μαριανδυνοί, Χάλυβες, Παφλαγόνες, Θρήικες οἱ Θυνοί τε καὶ Βιθυνοί, Κᾶρες, Ἴωνες, Δωριέες, Αἰολέες, Πάμφυλοι·
29. when these, I say, had been subdued, and while he was still adding to his Lydian dominions, there came to Sardis, then at the height of its wealth, all the wise men of the Hellas who chanced to be alive at that time, brought thither severally by various occasions; and of them one was Solon the Athenian, who after he had made laws for the Athenians at their bidding, left his native country for ten years and sailed away saying that he desired to visit various lands, in order that he might not be compelled to repeal any of the laws which he had proposed. For of themselves the Athenians were not competent to do this, having bound themselves by solemn oaths to submit for ten years to the laws which Solon should propose for them.

Category: campus experience Video duration: Aerosol expert Linsey Marr's take on wearing masks at outdoor activities
Virginia Tech’s nationally-recognized expert in the airborne transmission of viruses, Charles P. Lunsford Professor Linsey Marr, shares her approach on wearing a mask outdoors. Marr shared her insight during a live streamed conversation with President Tim Sands on Aug. 19.
The outdoors is much, much safer than indoors because again, this is, the virus moves around like cigarette smoke. So if someone's smoking indoors, that can build up, other people are exposed. If they're smoking outdoors, it usually quickly disperses and becomes diluted in the air. Some people nearby will be exposed. So I'm thinking about that as I'm going to the football game. Do I wear a mask or not? Okay, well, first of all, I'm vaccinated, so, but that doesn't, that's not fully protective as we've seen. If I know that everyone sitting around me is also vaccinated, I'd probably forego the mask. But if I am, first of all, if I'm unvaccinated then and I'm close to all those people, I should definitely be wearing a mask to protect myself. But if I'm in a section where I'm not sure about the vaccination status of the people around me, I would probably I would wear a mask because you're there for two or three hours at a time. You're very close to other people. People are yelling and shouting, they're excited. (We hope they are.) (That's our expectation.) If the team is doing well and we know that people release a lot more viruses into the air with loud talking and cheering and yelling compared to just breathing, for example. So, so that's, that's where I am on the mask situation. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9750609993934632}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '126935', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:RCMTWMELASDN62L4LYJ6237FTWQWFIVJ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:fab4e61d-f00e-48ca-ab6a-939b0d0387a5>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 25, 18, 56, 44), 'WARC-IP-Address': '99.86.230.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SHUTHGW4JACHL5NLN7KPMW3H4NPNYC3Z', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a9c41fe3-0e0d-4f32-a9a5-735ecc56963e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://vtx.vt.edu/videos/k/2021/08/1_ibldgll3.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:79f80cf4-ac74-408d-84f3-a860536c2b65>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '304', 'url': 'https://vtx.vt.edu/videos/k/2021/08/1_ibldgll3.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-112\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': '0.781269371509552', 'original_id': '33364492164b71b35766144fba2004b2f3746a2e8677a62745224210c3bd0452'} |
Finding time to write music
I'll tell you one thing. Being an independent musician with a few other significant full time jobs (father, husband, podcast producer), finding time to sit down and focus on writing music can be a big BIG challenge. I'm certain you know what I'm talking about.
When I've gone too long, it becomes that thing that I have to do, and not necessarily in a good way. "I must sit down and try to work on new music tonight, cause I haven't for so long, I'm afraid I might not know how to do it anymore. And if music is so important to me, then it should be easy, right?"
My experience has told me that writing because I feel like I have to is a recipe for certain disaster. It's like taking that thing you love, and setting a 200lb weight on the top of it, saying "ok, lift for two hours. Go." Doesn't sound like much fun. And creativity is rarely sparked by rules and schedules. You either have something, or you don't. Or you don't, but your mindset is such that you're into the thought of experimentation until you DO in fact have something. In other words, you don't, but you know how to get there.
When I embark on a new album, I consider it a project with an end point. I don't look at it as "oh, I'll wait until the new year and then start a diet and see how it goes" or "I'll quit smoking next week.... Or maybe the week after that, cause I'm going to the bar next weekend."
If I'm writing material for an album, I've made a decision that the next X amount of time will be full of a lot of time spent doing the things I normally do (father, husband, job), as well as SOMEHOW making time to write, and staying devoted with that effort. Life can get crazy, but if you let yourself slide, who knows when or if anything you write will even see the light of day.
So, I set a goal. I might not know the date on a calendar when this album will see its release, but I know roughly a time at which I'd like to see it happen. Six months from now? A year from now? Doesn't really matter what I pick as long as it's realistic. Make it too short and you set yourself up for certain disaster. And in light of my other jobs in life, I still have to actually find the time in my schedule to allow all of this creative stuff to happen. Nothing wrong with setting a date far out in advance, and then finishing before then.
This next part is what makes setting a lofty goal like this a possibility with everything else I have going on in my life:
Evaluate the times during which you are alone, and the times during which you are in a house full of people. This can guide you in how you plan your sessions. Here's what I mean.
Alone time is tracking time. If I have a song with lyrics that I've finished, and a scratch track foundation for the song in Pro Tools, and I know that Wednesday afternoon from 3-5pm, I'm home alone before my family arrives, this is perfect tracking time. So I set it. And that's all I do during that time, unless I'm incredibly efficient and am suddenly left with extra time to devote to something else. But basically, if it's time by myself at home in the studio, it's the time I get to do the really loud things that are sure to disrupt the other bodies in the house. Or maybe they aren't disrupt-able, necessarily, and don't care when you turn your guitar amp up to 11 to get that nice feedback effect in the song your working on. It's still a distraction to me to think about anyone else around when I'm doing loud things. I consider this the time I do things like track vocals (lot's of layers and multiple takes of each), amped and acoustic guitar, live percussion, and much later in the process, mixing.
Occupied time is editing time. About 3-4 nights a week, I work in my studio from 9-Midnight, late hours that don't constitute my ability to scream a layer of vocals, or record that acoustic guitar track. This time is purely dedicated to arrangement, refinement of already tracked elements (like with vocals, I do a lot of alignment during this time), synth parts, and pretty much anything programmed like drums. All of that can take place without compromise inside headphone land.
Now, if I've played my cards right, I've tracked to my hearts content during those two hours in the afternoon, more than I actually need. (Hence why I recommend you track every vocal part 2-3 times and keep all of those takes) Then, when I get to my evening session, I have an overabundance of options for each part to pick from, based on whatever it is I'm working through. I don't want to think "dang, I didn't get this part today" and then have to wait until my next open slot during the day time to record it. I mean, I will if I have to, but I'm an instant gratification kinda guy. So I want those parts there when I've blocked out time for editing them.
It's all about plotting your open time efficiently to the material you are working with. Boy, this sounds like something you should keep track of to make sure you have stuff to do when you've blocked time for it! Let's talk about that next. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9804039001464844}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '53100', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:6YFDJ5I6CGQZSDKGIGG7XEKJXHRAVPNE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2b45358a-e4cc-403a-957d-e45caac5cf0a>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 26, 14, 43, 56), 'WARC-IP-Address': '65.39.205.57', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Z5T4IGF4UQSC5ZPTQ2WLQUWNUJ7JKS73', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1330a6ee-d8ae-4cc6-bcb8-3d9fb16e99ef>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://yellowgoldmusic.com/blog/2013/3/22/finding-time-to-write-music', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ad833102-cf35-46f1-b77c-6d0b3cc59ba6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '958', 'url': 'http://yellowgoldmusic.com/blog/2013/3/22/finding-time-to-write-music', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-229-147.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': '0.1414545774459839', 'original_id': '85a110d58e107661f6a652758601685b1e53803206efc142a7b1bd128d451791'} |

Wild Times Ahead
Waiting for the End of Civilization with Anarcho-Primitivist Kevin Tucker
On a Sunday afternoon in Frick Park, Kevin Tucker abandons the trail. He lopes across a trickle of a creek and climbs a scantly wooded hillside, searching for a spot he knows. He crouches beside a rotting log, tipping it to look for the kind of food he hopes to survive on someday.
The lion's mane mushroom can grow bigger than a human head, but what's memorable is its texture: spongy and moist, its fibers oozing with rich golden jelly. Tucker touches it. "It feels weird," he muses. "It feels like some kind of Hostess thing."
Tucker edits Species Traitor: An Insurrectionary Anarcho-Primitivist Journal, whose goal is to predict, and promote, the imminent collapse of civilization. Anarcho-primitivism holds that we should respond to that collapse by becoming nomadic hunter-gatherers ... the way of life that defined human history until the (relatively recent) advent of agriculture.
Species Traitor advocates that we simultaneously resist civilization and "rewild" ourselves: It reflects both Tucker's prediction that civilization will soon collapse ... preferably by choice of the civilized, but otherwise of its own rotten weight ... and his zeal for shedding the domesticity of civilized life to reclaim our feral natures. The zine's mix of societal critique, environmental doomsaying and quasi-religious fervor is alternately terrifying, mad and enthralling. Perhaps not surprisingly, anarcho-primitivism is minimally popular even among anarchists. But its followers are scattered widely, and the soft-spoken Tucker, who's 26 and lives near Greensburg, is himself an increasingly prominent writer and speaker.
One way to rewild is to forage for wild foods, and Tucker calls himself a "mushroom addict." He haunts the woods, hunting edible specimens, which he extols for their nutritional, medicinal and environmental benefits: "The strength of a forest can be judged by the kind of mushrooms that grow there."
Crouching by the lion's mane, Tucker smiles. His waist-length dark-brown dreadlocks obscure the photo on the front of his black T-shirt, of a tribal South American boy drawing the string of a bow. "We have seen the world we want to live in," it reads, "and we will fight for it." Tucker designed and screen-printed the shirt, whose back depicts power lines dense against the sky. "The war of wildness awaits us ... After the lights go out, no war but primal war."
Nearby in the trampled vegetation sit a chunk of asphalt, a brown beer bottle, a chainsawed hunk of log. Barks sound from the nearby dog run. Tucker plucks the lion's mane from the log to examine it, then replaces it. It will grow back, he says. "The spores are there. That's what matters."
Walking through Frick Park with a primitivist is a weird, if agreeable, exercise in double-consciousness. We traverse the dirt path very slowly. As hikers, joggers and dog-walkers hustle past, we stop every few yards, scanning the foliage for mushrooms and other edible plants. They're everywhere. Tucker finds mustard garlic, which tastes like it sounds, and wood sorrel, which resembles clover but with a tiny yellow flower, and a lemony flavor.
Like everyone else on this Sunday in May, we are enjoying the warm, sunny weather.
Unlike everyone else, we are preparing for the end of civilization.
Tucker's partner, a young woman named Yank, is fair-skinned, with an oval face. Like Tucker's, Yank's nose is adorned with an omega-shaped septum piercing. She wears camo sweatpants and an elastic headband, and carries a digital camera. Her arm tattoos ... of a human skeleton and tribally stylized fish and lizards ... complement Tucker's inkings, which include the motto "We are the weeds in the sidewalk" set against a backdrop of eerie skyscrapers.
Tucker, in jeans and sneaks, carries his field guides in two shoulder bags he made, one from an old bearskin a friend gave him, the other a rigid container of tulip bark, with a strap of knotted milkweed.
"Rewilding is part of the resistance," he says. "It's the active part you can get involved with." Cars hum past on Forbes, visible 50 yards away through the trees. "It's about understanding that wildness exists inside everything."
Civilization, primitivists argue, germinates all our ills: government, which is necessarily repressive; private property, and thus crime; war; social, economic and sexual inequality; environmental degradation; and endless, numbing work routines. Progress is a myth, they contend: We've lost more than we've gained. Modern technology promises fulfillment but delivers isolation, cocooning us from each other, from nature, from the consequences of our destructive, unsustainable ways.
Tucker and Yank don't know any other primitivists in the Pittsburgh area. Those they do know ... including a young primitivist couple from Australia who visited them in June ... they mostly contact via Internet. But they belong to a loose national, even international network whose heart is in the Pacific Northwest. Writer John Zerzan, widely regarded as the godfather of primitivism and a good friend of Tucker's, lives in Eugene, Ore., where he co-edits Green Anarchy magazine (circulation: 8,000). This past April, Zerzan joined Tucker and Derrick Jensen, a prominent Northern California-based anti-civilization writer, on a speaking tour that included Wilson College, in Chambersburg, Pa., and Erie's Mercyhurst College.
Tucker also wrote the preface to the new edition of Zerzan's keynote anthology, Against Civilization. "Overcoming domestication is a massive undertaking," his essay declares, "but our souls and our lives are at stake."
Tucker grew up in suburban St. Louis, watching sprawl devour the woods. He got into activism at age 12, working on causes from animal rights to protesting Shell Oil's incursions upon Nigerian tribal lands. Anarcho-syndicalism ... which advocates worker control of society ... attracted him early, but the doctrine's inherent industrialism never fit with his radical environmental concerns. "I started wondering where things started going wrong," he says.
Something that cemented him in anarcho-primitivism was life on a farm. It was an animal refuge where he worked with Yank, a few years after they had met, in 1998, as teen-agers at a punk-rock show in Columbus, Ohio. Tucker watched the farm's handful of cows trample a stream into a muddy gutter ... domestication destroying wildness. Out in the barnyard, some rescued chickens roosted calmly in trees. But confined in a pen (to protect them from foxes) they went berserk, bloodying each other.
"It's like cities," he says of the chicken pen. "It's just like us."
Tucker subsequently studied anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in 2004. While he can be thoroughly analytical about civilization's failings, he describes his relationship with nature as spiritual. He feels a particular kinship with morels. "Morels not Morals," reads one of his T-shirt designs. (Another deadpans, "Will Hunt and Gather for Food.") Morels turn up in the oddest places. "They do whatever they want," says Tucker. "Nothing always applies all the time." They are an anarchist's kind of shroom.
We spend a couple hours in Frick, identifying, photographing and collecting plants and mushrooms. Back at the trailhead, we stop behind the charred shell of the park's Environmental Center, which burned a few years back.
"We've got so much of our lives taken from us. It's powerlessness," Tucker says. "The idea that you can go out and do something on your own ... it's empowering."
Yank surveys the grounds teeming with green. "A lot of plants are good for cancers, a lot of wild plants," she says. She recalls from childhood seeing an old man in her backyard, gathering dandelion to treat his cancer. She thought he was crazy.
"Now we're the wingnuts!" says Tucker.
Tucker regards conservation and alternative energy as false paths, insufficient to save a civilization not worth saving anyway. Civilization's collapse, he says, will have many causes, and it'll be gradual, a drawn-out process: "It's not like you're going to wake up one day and the power grid will be off."
"I wish," mutters Yank.
To most, calling for civilization's collapse is like demanding to repeal gravity. But radical critiques of civilization, its ideology of ceaseless labor and material excess, boast a long intellectual heritage.
In the 1850s, for instance, Thoreau lived simply for his 26 months at Walden; he mocked the telegraph and proclaimed, "The most alive is the wildest." Subsequent "rebels against the future" (as one of them, neo-Luddite Kirkpatrick Sale, put it) included Lewis Mumford (The Myth of the Machine), Ivan Illich (Toward a History of Needs) and Theodore Roszak (Where the Wasteland Ends).
Looming over such discussions are two opposing views of humankind. In his 17th-century classic Leviathan, British philosopher Thomas Hobbes famously argued that life in a state of nature was "nasty, brutish and short," and that we require authorities to rein us in and ensure humanity's progress. In the 18th century, French thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau espoused the ideal of the noble savage. "The example of Savages ... seems to confirm that the human Race was made to remain in it, the state of Nature, always," he wrote. "[F]or the philosopher it is iron and wheat which have Civilized men and ruined the human race."
Hobbes won. Or at least, while many still romanticize the noble savage, it's agreed that this is the age of the policeman, the CEO and the IT guy.
But in recent years, primitivism has found an unlikely ally: modern science.
In 1968, anthropologist Marshall Sahlins presented a paper titled "The Original Affluent Society." Drawing on recent field research among surviving hunter-gatherers including the !Kung Bushmen of South Africa's Kalahari Desert, Sahlins proposed that foraging was in fact a rather attractive way to live.
The !Kung inhabited marginal lands ... the most fruitful real estate having been seized by agriculturalists ... and lacked electricity, metal tools and permanent homes. But Sahlins argued that they were affluent because all their needs were met. The !Kung spent only a few hours each day gathering food. The rest of the time they played, socialized or slept.
"The research suggests that the more complex socially organized society you live in, the more you have to work," says Pitt anthropology professor Richard Scaglion, who in the 1970s spent a year-and-a-half living among the Abelam people of the New Guinea highlands.
Scaglion says the Abelam have a pretty sweet life. They're not pure foragers, practicing slash-and-burn horticulture and living alongside free-roaming, semi-domesticated pigs. They also have some (imported) metal tools, including machetes. Yet the Abelam have little sense of time and don't distinguish between work and play. They just live. Their health is good and their life expectancy comparable to ours ... minus, of course, artificial life support.
"There's not a heckuva lot that they have, but there's not a heckuva lot that they need," Scaglion says. And best of all, "It was really nice to live in a truly egalitarian society. ... There's nobody who can tell you what to do."
At its simplest level, primitivism merely touts the life for which we evolved: in open air, moving around a lot, eating wild foods. "The healthiest quality of food we've ever known is probably Stone Age food," says Mark Nathan Cohen, an anthropologist at State University of New York. Foragers have none of the maladies we associate with poverty or "primitive" lifestyles; those ailments in fact result from urban slum life, starchy modern diets or proximity to domesticated animals. According to research by Cohen and others, farmers and city folk were shorter and sicker than foragers well into the 19th century (at least).
In a 1987 article in Discover magazine, Jared Diamond ... later a Pulitzer Prize-winner for Guns, Germs and Steel ... called agriculture "the worst mistake in human history." For the first million or two years humans and their ancestors walked earth, "Hunter-gatherers practiced the most successful and longest-lasting life style in human history. In contrast, we're still struggling with the mess into which agriculture has tumbled us, and it's unclear whether we can solve it."
Of course, foragers too consume resources, multiply and spread out. That fact likely explains the invention of farming: Eventually people could feed their growing numbers only by cultivating crops which ... despite their inferior nutritional value ... supplied more calories with less land. It was quality for quantity.
And contemporary Stone Age living isn't perfect, either. Among the Abelam, reports Scaglion, problems included endemic malaria, troubles with ringworm, and high mortality from accidents, especially among the young. Moreover, contend skeptics of the noble-savage idea, there's historic evidence of serious warfare between foragers.
But primitivists say the "primitive" people indicted for warfare and ecological ruin are actually horticulturalists ... subsistence gardeners, like the Abelam ... or agriculturalists. Nature, they contend, could easily fix whatever damage foragers might do with stone tools, low numbers and nomadic feet. Even Harvard archaeologist Steven LeBlanc, author of 2002's Constant Battles: The Myth of the Noble Savage, acknowledges that war and environmental degradation got much worse with the advent of settled, complex, hierarchical societies.
And if the primitivist worldview is part prescription for the good life, it's also part prediction ... a forecast supported, once again, by history and science. Diamond's 2005 book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, for instance, offers case studies ranging from the Maya to modern Rwanda, each demonstrating how societies can doom themselves by living beyond the means their environment can support.
Modern societies face problems including global warming, the end of cheap oil and shortages of drinkable water. If we don't address them, writes Diamond, such problems might get resolved, as they have before: with "warfare, genocide, starvation, disease epidemics and collapses of societies."
Diamond is skeptical about technology, which in attempting to solve old problems tends to create new ones. He thinks we have "a few decades" before a reckoning. In other words, a Pulitzer-winning scholar's concerns echo those of primitivism.
Collapse joins a recent spate of books sounding similar alarms. The Party's Over, by Richard Heinberg, cites our utter dependence on fossil fuels and focuses on "peak oil," the idea that the time of maximum world petroleum production is imminent. It's not just a matter of running out of oil: As energy becomes harder to find, it gets more expensive, and competition for it intensifies. And as large, less developed countries such as India and China industrialize, demand will only accelerate.
If civilization stops growing, primitivists point out, it dies. But if it keeps growing, it kills ... plants, animals, entire ecosystems and less powerful people
Yet modern consumers must be kept in a constant state of desire, and deterred from considering consequences. Those consequences, to paraphrase Al Gore, are an inconvenient truth. In terms of sheer energy consumption, North Americans are the richest and most wasteful people ever. But our consumer society is only a few generations old, a tiny fraction of a much poorer world. Petroleum has been history's greatest inheritance, and for 150 years we've been spending it like Paris Hilton on a Rodeo Drive shopping spree. Still, we keep thinking it'll last forever.
Some argue that surely we'll keep the party going. Surely we'll find ... or invent ... new sources of energy. Optimists cite the "Green Revolution" in agriculture: In the face of warnings about overpopulation, new technologies enabled the global head-count to double from three billion to six billion, between 1960 and 2000. But what enabled such growth was the chemically dependent modern agriculture that has meant soil depletion, runoff that poisons and clogs waterways, and the plowing under of wild lands ... not to mention oceans of fuel for shipping crops across hemispheres. New solutions always have new costs.
In The Party's Over, Heinberg writes, "There are now somewhere between two and five billion humans who probably would not exist but for fossil fuels." A post-fossil-fuel future suggests large population drops. For a world of hunter-gatherers, the earth's "carrying capacity" ... the number of people the environment can support ... would be much smaller. And quality of life would depend on keeping those numbers low. In forager societies, pregnancies are more widely spaced, and some foragers have also practiced infanticide.
Given the body count we now accept as the price of civilization, Tucker, for one, is OK with that. "I don't think every child born should live," he says.
If everyone were a forager, Tucker estimates, 500 million people could survive. That's probably wildly optimistic: The last time world population was that low, it was the late Middle Ages, with most people already living off agriculture.
Tucker and Yank live in a small duplex in a dog-eared residential community outside Greensburg. In the tiled foyer, a deerskin stripped from a roadkill carcass, scraped of flesh and fur, leans stiffly against one wall awaiting tanning, preferably with the brains of another roadkill deer. The adjoining kitchen is airy and spotless, with a small gate to keep their two big dogs, a rot mix and a pit-bull mix, off the living room's pristine white carpet. (When I ask Yank how she spends her days, she answers, "I clean.") Full-color posters of edible plants and mushrooms are stapled to the walls. In the living room, a computer table holds a monitor and keyboard.
Tucker's second-floor study is lined with hundreds of books: The Foraging Spectrum, The Coming Plague, John Henry. But this morning, because I had asked him to demonstrate primitive skills, Tucker is sitting outside on his kitchen steps, trying to make fire with a bow drill.
Under one foot he clamps a large wood chip with a divot for an upright cedar dowel that's looped crosswise by a synthetic orange cord attached to a bow. With one hand, he anchors the dowel-top with a folded butterfly knife; with the other, he saws the bow, spinning the dowel for friction.
Tucker's Species Traitor ... the latest issue is a handsomely bound softcover ... includes carefully worded articles (both credited to "MaCro Magnon") describing the successful disabling of electrical substations and the vulnerability to sabotage of railroad lines. The zine (www.primalwar.org) also features Tucker's account of his correspondence with Ted Kaczynski, now serving life for the Unabomber crimes committed in the 1980s and '90s during his solitary campaign against modern technology. I ask Tucker about the articles describing sabotage.
"It's not rhetoric at all. I want civilization to be taken down as soon as possible," he says, working the bow drill. "A small group of people can really get things going, if they're so inclined."
"By physically targeting that infrastructure," he continues, "the intent is to ..."
"Did you feed the dog this morning?" Yank yells from the kitchen.
"Yeah ... destabilize that and show how unstable it is."
Tucker and Yank believe they're watched by the government as part of the "Green Scare" crackdown on sabotage conducted in the name of animal liberation and environmentalism. In January, the FBI's Operation Backfire resulted in federal indictments for 11 people allegedly acting on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front. The accused were charged in connection with 17 attacks out West dating to 1996, including the burning of a Colorado ski lodge and the destruction of a high-power line in Oregon.
It was the latest in a series of arrests for what the FBI calls "domestic terrorism." But some radical activists say it's not terrorism if you hit only property, as Tucker claims the ALF and ELF have. "Our targets aren't people," he says. "It's political power and the whole society. You don't have to kill people to take that out."
"There's a question whether ELF arsons are even effective," he adds.
"Yeah, they are," says Yank, who's listening in. "Just more people need to start doing it."
I ask Tucker if he's ever committed sabotage. He invokes activist "security culture" boilerplate: "If it were true, I couldn't answer you honestly."
Meanwhile, he's not having much luck with the fire. He knows people who can spin the piston between their palms and get sparks in seconds. Tucker likes the hands-only method. "I prefer it to the bow drill just because it's simpler," he says. Doing it by hand, he adds, "doesn't require as many parts. But it's harder."
Yearning for the Stone Age, but born into the Microchip Age, Tucker knows his life bulges with paradox. He works full time, pushing an ink squeegee over hats and T-shirts at a Murrysville screen-printer's; he drives there in a Mazda mini-van, which he and Yank have lived in briefly from time to time, and which is useful for transporting their dogs or cartons of Species Traitor.
"I'd love to be a hunter-gatherer," says Tucker. "I don't want to go to work every day. It's just a necessity. Especially if you want to get the word out."
Indeed, even to study primitive skills these days takes a lot of driving. So when I invite Tucker to an afternoon of spear-throwing, we spend half the day in our cars, getting to and from the Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Museum of Rural Life. Located an hour west of Pittsburgh, the Avella site played host to the World Atlatl Association one weekend in June.
The atlatl is Stone Age technology that functions as an extension of the human arm. It's made of wood or bone, with one end notched to hold a long slender dart and throw it at wild game. Tucker already owns one.
He, Yank and I take turns hurling darts at a paper target pinned to a bale of hay. The bull's-eye circles a squirrel the size of a dishwasher. The darts are 7 feet long, and most are made of aluminum, with copper heads and plastic guide-feathers. From 15 meters out, we throw dozens of times each before we graze the bale.
"We can't even hit the prehistoric squirrel," I say.
"I can't aim right. That's my problem with everything," says Yank. "I bowl like that, too."
"I see why these things are used for massive mammals," says Tucker. "You can get like 20 squirrels an hour with traps."
"Imagine an auto-load atlatl," says Yank. "K-p-chew!"
"You miss the point," says Tucker.
One of the dozen or so atlatl enthusiasts offers some tips and shows us his club's photo album. Above a picture of a man hurling a dart there's a motto, presumably inspirational, reading, "One cannot change the past, but one can ruin the present by worrying over the future." We're told that one participant, a wiry silver-haired guy in a red ball cap, once killed a wild boar with an atlatl.
"I used to practice bow and atlatl every day, but the police put an end to that pretty quick," Tucker tells me.
"It was a little park," says Yank. "We used to skin animals out there."
The first animal Tucker ever skinned was a roadkill fox, behind a Giant Eagle. "I learned a lot," he says, adding that the process was instinctive. Though roadkill infuriates them, Tucker and Yank scavenge it, for meat and hide. Still, he prefers peacefully tracking animals through the woods, trying to learn what they eat and how they see the world.
He also dabbles in flint-knapping ... manually flaking stone for spear points and blades. "I suck at it," he says, as we peruse a display of hobbyist-knapped points. "Whenever I do it, it actually dulls it down."
Tucker has considered going off to live in the woods somewhere ... the option Yank prefers ... but for now he's committed to spreading the primitivist word. He's found a kindred spirit in Cathy Pedler, a former archaeologist who heads the office of sustainability at Mercyhurst College. Pedler booked April's talks by Tucker, Zerzan and Jensen at Mercyhurst and Wilson College. The crowds of 100 people each included students who didn't know they were in for anti-civilization depth charges. "It was really stimulating for them ... almost in a traumatic way," says Pedler, 40, who also identifies herself as an anarcho-primitivist.
At Mercyhurst, Tucker met a guy who was creating biodiesel out of sewage waste. "I said, 'Yeah, I hope there's no sewage system in a hundred years,'" Tucker recalls. "It was kind of uncomfortable because I was staying at his house."
Most primitivists scorn mainstream environmentalists as "reformists": people who think wind turbines, hybrid cars and recycling will save us. And Tucker says many of his listeners share his concerns. They tell him, "I agree with you, I just don't agree with where you take it." (Yank's relatives in Greensburg are an exception. "Her family is rednecks," says Tucker. "They're really supportive and respectful of everything we do.")
Visits to primitive-skills gatherings, and to a Wisconsin primitive-skills school called Teaching Drum, have honed Tucker's understanding of what distinguishes tools from technology. Once discarded, a Stone Age tool can sift back into nature; technology, however, transforms a natural material irreversibly ... changing ore into metal, say. Technology also requires division of labor, which primitivists consider as bad as agriculture. The test, Tucker says, is "Can you do it yourself or do you need a whole society? If you lost it, could you do it again?"
I ask Tucker what separates anarcho-primitivists from survivalists ... the right-wing-identifying guys holed up in the hollers with bear traps and cases of ammo. "People go to survivalism for the same reason people go to this," he says. "They're looking for something."
Finished atlatling, we wander to Meadowcroft's famous Rockshelter, where archaeological evidence suggests human presence dating back 16,000 years. A tour ends, and the guide joins Tucker, Yank and I by Cross Creek, which runs past the rockshelter. The guide says a big blacksnake hangs out here. He adds that he doesn't like snakes.
"They're awesome creatures," Yank responds quickly.
"They're needed," the guide admits. "I tell them, 'Go, make my garden good.' I just don't like to be surprised. But they probably don't like to be surprised, either."
"Then we have something in common," says Tucker.
The big post-collapse die-off idea is a big turn-off to primitivism's critics ... who include, it's fair to say, almost everyone who hears of anarcho-primitivism. Even other anarchists scoff.
"It's a perverse pessimism, that we're doomed, that most of humanity will perish," says Alex Bradley, a local political activist and anarchist. "Mad Max was a really great movie, but I don't want to base my future on it."
Tucker contends that history's only viable anarchistic society has been Stone Age life; he rejects revolution, which would just put different people in charge of the same lousy system. Meanwhile though, most anarchists hate capitalism, they appreciate modern technology and believe it can be made to serve human needs rather than corporate profits. Moreover, Bradley won't underestimate the system he abhors: Echoing the belief that we can invent our way out of trouble, he says, "I don't think that capitalism or the state will allow itself to be destroyed."
Bradley, a member of the Pittsburgh Organizing Group, agrees that many anarchists share primitivists' environmental concerns. But with their collapse scenarios, he says, "I think [primitivists] share a lot with religious fundamentalists: 'You're doomed anyway, and this is your only solution.'"
Primitivism does unavoidably suggest a near-remake of the Bible. It has its own Eden, its Fall (perhaps after eating the fruit of Technology) and its End Time (starring civilization as the Whore of Babylon), followed by return to a flowering paradise. And as countless books and disaster movies attest, eco-pocalypse is as irresistible as it is terrifying. Since we are all complicit, a Big Do-Over feels like both a deserved comeuppance and a rebirth. Forced by eco-pocalypse to live differently, perhaps we'd be different.
But eco-pocalypse is based on more than reading tea leaves in Revelation. Rain forests and polar ice caps really are vanishing. Fisheries and petroleum reserves really are drying up, while sea levels and environmental toxins rise. Of the hottest 20 years on record globally, 19 have come since 1980. The Worldwatch Institute estimates that to protect the environment and promote economic equity, rich nations "may need to cut their use of materials by as much as 90 percent over few decades." The Party's Over author Richard Heinberg suggests that to stave off the worst of coming cataclysms we should adopt small, radically decentralized, semi-autonomous communities living off sustainable energy.
And even if warnings of eco-pocalypse sound religious in tone, isn't that just the flip side to the faith that technology will fix the problems technology created in the first place?
Tucker says primitivism is not an ideology, let alone a creed; he calls it "a critique with implications." While he was raised Jewish, he and Yank eschew religion.
"A lot of people who believe in God, they really don't care," says Yank. "They just care about God and going to heaven."
"No allegiance to this planet," says Tucker.
One on level, what's unnerving about primitivism is the suggestion that once we literally planted the seed of civilization, most everything since ... all we value about it, right along with all we loathe ... has only taken us further along that same disastrous path. But Tucker views it positively: What humans built, they can unbuild.
A return to foraging, he acknowledges, might not come to pass until generations after the collapse. "I have a lot of faith in humans," he says. "We'll see more reasons to work with each other than to kill each other."
"You can't run away from civilization," Tucker said during our visit to Frick Park. "I can't run away from the fact that this forest is going through the same struggles I am."
"This isn't some martyristic thing," he says later. "I just feel a personal obligation." He just wants to spread the word ... "while I still have time."
Uncivil Liberty
Like the old saying goes: The boss needs us, we don't need the boss. But we can apply that more widely: Replace boss with machine, fields, work, god/s, economy, politics, or civilization. We've lived without all of these things and we don't need them. They are killing us. The city and the countryside stand between us and a society that can support the next generations. Work stands between us and life. Progress stands between a healthy livable world and a suffocating one. Those who built the temples of god-kings, those who filled the granaries, those who worked in the fields, those who built roads, cut forests, those who crushed opposition, all of them hit a point when it was painfully obvious that they were putting far more into the system than they were getting in return.
Most of them always knew this. Just like most of us still know this. But what is different is that they realized they could do something about it. Tired of waiting for god, they stopped civilization. Whether it was through killing elites, sabotaging tools, burning granaries, homes and temples, symbolic destruction, ignoring or torching the fields, or simply stopping production through walking away: They took back their agency. They stopped believing that they needed the system like it needed them. They resisted and hit power where it hurts: They rendered it useless.

Resistance to the heat is futile!
Organizational change is a common, almost ubiquitous, feature in today’s business world. Change is known under many monikers, from transformation to creative destruction, and the variety of names is a portent to the one constant in any organizational change: resistance. Resistance is defined by Changing Minds as the action taken by individuals and groups when they perceive the change that is occurring as a threat to them. Resisters come in many forms, including: * these are listed from the most problematic to least.
Naysayers – There are those in most organizations that have never met an idea or change that they like. Naysayers will go out of their way (perhaps even habitually) to express negative or pessimistic views. Naysayers don’t need a specific reason to be negative or pessimistic . . . they just are. Naysayers are typically a cancer on an organization and need to be removed.
Enemies – Organizations are political environments. Every change has to have a sponsor and there are often factions within the organization that are actively or passively struggling against the sponsor and her/her ideas. Change programs are often large and important enough that a failure can severely negatively impact a career. Leveraging the appropriate change sponsor is often needed to ensure that the proper pressure is provided to dampen internal political objections.
Indirect or Passive Aggressive Resister – The great O’Jay’s song “Back Stabbers” illustrated this form of resistance perfectly.
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers) (AZLyrics)
Use public commitments or public signing events to get the indirect or passive aggressive resistor to commit to the change even more openly. Your goal is to increase the price they pay for resisting behind your back.
My Way or The Highway Resisters – This class of resister is not anti-change; rather they are for change if they are championing the idea and against if it is someone else’s idea. Find a way to incorporate this type of resister into defining or implementing the change. If they accept the role they will have to accept at least partial ownership of the change.
Committed to Current State Resisters – One the statements most often heard when discussing change is “we always do it this way.” There are many reasons people might be committed to the current process, ranging from fear of change in the organization’s social order, to lack of personal competence. Diagnose the reason for the resistance and determine if the reason can be addressed. People in this camp will be fairly easy to identify (they generally are not trying to hide), and can be leveraged to find the holes in new processes. Just be ready to hear why what is being proposed is not what is done today.
Not Convinced – This class of resister is often a reflection of a change program that has poorly communicated the rationale for a change and/or the WIIFM (what’s in it for me) component of change management. People truly in the “not convinced” category can be converted by personal interaction and communication. Do not assume that communication and change management programs tailored to convince people will work for everyone. Say things many ways and many times!
While the Borg might believe that resistance is futile, no one has told the population of most organizations. Resistance is inevitable. Recognizing why it is happening starts by understanding who is resisting, but then has to get into the weeds. The big idea here is that knowing the type of resistance you are facing is just step one of tackling a longer and more difficult problem. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '12', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9560562372207642}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '61492', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LB33BAXX6FRQ4KUG2PJDZPUWJPRV5XK2', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:33cdc339-f315-4265-b63d-f08e916fe508>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 14, 12, 47, 51), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.12', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Z2MHLF4JVUS6IG27RYHM6KWHQUF4UZIW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2dd85f0c-13e6-41a4-8c98-42389fe0d4ef>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://tcagley.wordpress.com/2017/08/22/resistance-to-change-is-inevitable/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e04a3baf-cd0e-4939-a028-2f88848a1163>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '578', 'url': 'https://tcagley.wordpress.com/2017/08/22/resistance-to-change-is-inevitable/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-223.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.045163631439208984', 'original_id': '788d9b3e15652af68a9a4ec60a85d62a191dc2f0c7a82b92a887d490ce4b6a0e'} |
Rabbits can be an interesting animal to raise on small farms. Before starting to raise rabbits, one should consider the potential uses and goals of the operation. Rabbits can efficiently convert plant material to meat, and rabbit meat is gaining in popularity. They can also be kept as interesting pets. Raising rabbits might provide an additional income stream for a small farm. Below are some publications you may find helpful on raising rabbits. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9477577805519104}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '43131', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ZFENK6NP4FDK2W3CFV26JTLNA6NWQRPX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c271d2c6-74c9-402e-852a-32d9caa00cec>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 8, 25, 22, 37, 36), 'WARC-IP-Address': '67.222.153.58', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:CLAPQ5DDFTYKKQMXDAQNVA4BGUTMHPO4', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:039e8fbf-a93a-4f6b-9c14-5644fd5c2830>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/smallfarms/2014/07/09/rabbits/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:eb643330-42af-4f4a-accd-9f91eb9c6e4c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '70', 'url': 'https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/smallfarms/2014/07/09/rabbits/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-35\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-15.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': '0.03240966796875', 'original_id': 'e11787e2b98965d541991d634368d494d2652186d435c506a1658a1f14ff66e0'} |

Ludacris shoulda stayed eating chicken and drinking beer. He has as much business talking politics as I do rapping.
Luda put out a 2-minute track called “Politics as Usual,” in which he praises Obama... and trash-talks Hillary, Jesse, McCain and Bush.
Yeah, Ludacris calls Sen. Clinton a “bitch.” (Which is exactly what a rap star should do right now if he wants to help Barack win. Sheesh...)
Today the song was condemned as “outrageously offensive” by Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton. “While Ludacris is a talented individual, he should be ashamed of these lyrics."
Here’s the audio of “Politics as Usual”:
bklyn6 said...
I just saw Bill O'Reilly talking about this a minute ago. Maybe Luda's trying to be the Rev. Wright of rap. Guess Obama'll have to distance himself from hip-hop now.
Undercover Black Man said...
^ Sean Hannity's going off on it, too.
Luda needs his ass whipped. said...
Hey there!
It is quite interesting to me the way that the Obama team is QUICK to use the terms "offensive" when black people do anything that is out of line but they HAVE YET to use that term when whites are slamming his wife and children...a NY exhibit where his own children's photos were displayed with "nappy headed hoes" over it... Obama had no rebuke about that exhibit... no rebuke about the NY magazine cover...
I am tired of seeing a brotha kissing as much white behind as possible just to get a job... it is the most powerful job in the world but where is self-respect as a black man?
Undercover Black Man said...
I feel you, Lisa. But think about what Barack's trying to do. He ain't running against John McCain... he's running against the biggest, baddest bogeyman America ever created: the Black Male Image.
He's gotta convince millions upon millions of white folks he's intellectually competent... psychologically sound... morally non-threatening... spiritually non-alien... and still hit the three-point shot.
It's amazing he hasn't collapsed already from the stress.
Thembi said...
It's amazing he hasn't collapsed already from the stress.
I've already been fearing how quickly four years in office will age him. I suspect the phrase "black don't crack" will be debunked by 2012 because this would wear on anyone.
Days like These! said...
The fact that he starts off all his songs with LEWDA should be a crime.
Didn't Jay-Z pen the same song?
Never mind. I'm done.
LennieG said...
Two thumbs up to Luda
james said...
Who is this song going to piss off that doesn't already dislike Barry?
Bill Oreilly? ofcourse...People who watch fox news not
baked out of their minds? ofcourse..
In my hood this is what the folk wanna here..
BTW arn't fools like luda chastised all the time for bubble gum joints ?
( side note: Luda and Kanye should do a duets album...)
Chi-Town Caleb said...
Wow another one of Obamas "friends" and "favorites" in action.
Does this man think before he declares people his "favorite","friend"
or "mentor" ????
I know that Obama had nothing to do with this song (or did he??) BUT it is just another illustration on how this man by way of his choices of "friends" and "favorites" is in NO way fit to lead this country. I mean when BO said that Ludacris was his "favorite" rapper did he ever stop and think about what this guy says in his songs?
I hope his daughters like LUDA too so they can grow up to be one of the HOES from "I Got Hoe's"
Obama....what a joke this guy is.
Im sure we are racist for calling him out on this though.....RIGHT Larry?????
Catch said...
"Guess Obama'll have to distance himself from hip-hop now."
He should. I'm much happier now that I've distanced myself.
Lori said...
he (obama) was recently taken to task for calling himself a "symbol". he's going to be the first so he IS a symbol. so he shouldn't pick luda as his favorite.
Vince Spence said...
In the below quote, isn't Ron Artest dissing the rest of the black basketball players? Have any of Ron's songs endorsed Sen. Obama?
"I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto," said Artest. "That's not going to change. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about. If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest never changed."

Resolved Question:
Hi there
I have recently separated from my partner (not married) and my 3 year old son lives with her at my old house. We had mediation to sort out all of the financial side of things. During this mediation my ex said she would like to change my sons surname. He currently has my surname and I am on his birth certificate as the father and I share parental responsibility. At the time I said no.
My partner has since suggested that she will change his name (unofficially) anyway. For instance, at his nursery and when he goes to school. I understand that this is not a legal change but my question is that is she allowed to do this without my consent?

Thank you for your question.
In fact your ex cannot change his name at Nursery or School who have to use the correct name as set out on his birth certificate. The same is true with the dentist doctor and his passport.
Obviously your ex can use her own name anywhere unofficially - with friends etc - but not anywhere official!
Please ask if you need further details
Customer: replied 2 years ago.
Thanks for the answer.
I have read some examples (online so possibly not true!) of where the official name is ***** ***** the school register but the school use the unofficial name when addressing the pupil/parent. It did however say written consent was required, would this have to be from both of us or would just my ex suffice?
Expert: Clare replied 2 years ago.
Schools did do this in the past - however these days they are much more aware of the law and realise that it is not something that should be done unless both parents agree

Cowboys win Border War battle at Colorado STate 34-21 Kelly Lyell,
Detractors say there are still too many “meaningless” college football bowl games. Try telling that to Craig Bohl and the Wyoming Cowboys, or the folks at Miami of Ohio, Louisiana-Monroe or Southern Miss.
Those schools all won the requisite six games this season, only to be left home during bowl season. The problem isn’t Wyoming or any of those other programs. The problem is there aren’t enough college football bowl games.
The 39 Football Bowl Division bowls plus the national title game mean 78 teams participate in postseason games. There were 82 eligible teams this year, same as last year. Four bowl-eligible teams were left out, despite having records on par with 10 other teams that received bids.
Wyoming’s omission was especially painful, given that the slot the Mountain West conference should have had for the Cowboys went to conference turncoat Brigham Young University, which will play Western Michigan in the Idaho Potato Bowl.
Think about the major argument against minor bowl games: “They don’t mean anything.” That may be the viewpoint of some fans, but these bowls mean a lot to the teams playing in them and their fan bases. Can anyone explain how fans can’t wait for any football game to come on TV in August, but by December become picky about a game having to “mean something” in order for us to watch?
Like we don’t watch meaningless Monday Night Football games just because it’s football?
There’s no downside to fans having more college football games to watch, regardless of whether the games have championship implications.
The Mountain West is one conference in particular need of another bowl slot. So here’s a thought: Why not have the conference get behind the idea of adding another game at Mile High Stadium in Denver?
The Mile High Bowl.
This is not a new idea. It got a bit of traction a few years back when Roger Kinney, formerly of the Colorado Rockies, was part of a group trying to organize the game. Then that traction vanished.
What could jump start it again? A TV partner and sponsorship dollars.
We already know that our region isn’t college football crazy like some other places that host bowl games. But game attendance is not as big a deal as you might think. Many of the minor bowls are owned and operated by ESPN simply to be television programming. Behinds in the seats are a bonus.
Group the right partner with the right sponsor, gather two conferences who need bowl tie-ins and secure the cooperation of the city of Denver and you could conceivably be well off enough to sell discounted tickets just to get bodies in the building.
The Mile High Bowl could be a pretty cool deal. Pair a Mountain West team against a Pac 12 team and you’d at least stand a decent chance of having a local team or teams participating. This year, that team could have been Wyoming.
The weather? Ask the teams who will play in Boise’s Idaho Potato Bowl if they’d turn down the invite because of the cold. And in Colorado, there’s just as good a chance of playing on a 45-degree evening as playing in subfreezing temps.
What would have to happen first? The city of Denver (and presumably the Denver Stadium Commission) would need to apply to the NCAA in order to become authorized to host a bowl game. It’s a strong bet they’d already want to have a title sponsor in line, as well as conferences willing to create an affiliation even before making the application.
They’d want to pursue the idea with a TV network. ESPN would be at the top of that list, but reports are the network is maxed out. Perhaps Mountain West-friendly CBS would be in play, or perhaps Fox Sports or NBC Sports. Someone would likely welcome the opportunity to have for more football programming.
The Mile High Bowl could flourish, and it might even help generate more fan interest in college football in Colorado. So what are we waiting for?

With the same ensemble maestroa performed in January 2012 for the New Year's concerts (soloists De Palma, Mi Seon Oh) in Foggia and Lucera. The same month and with the same great success he was preparing and leading the opening of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly on the Summer Music Festival in Burgas, Bulgaria, with the National Opera of Burgas and the soloists from Bulgaria and Macedonia.
March 2010 mr Savic led the outstanding performance of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly in Teatro Dante, Firenza, Italy (Ishigami, Berrugi, Calamai) and immediately after, two preformances at The Opera Stars Festival in State Opera and Ballet Company of Siberia, Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The success included both titles, Puccini’s Tosca (Zelenskaya, Vishnyak, Effimov) and Rigoletto (Svyatkin, Zakirov, Baranova) in front of the packed audience and delighted company. The identical situation followed next 2011 year, with the same Festival and Puccini's titles La Boheme (Urusov, Levchuk, Baranova) and Madama Butterfly (Levchuk, Urusov, Efremov). His Portugal debut marked two excellent concerts in June 2010 with Orquestra do Algarve in Portimao and Loule, with Jan Krisztof Broja, pianist, as a soloist. The month of November of the same year, great impresion mr Savic left led to a successful MasterClass in Symphonic Repertory in Faro and continued with two concerts with the same Orchestra, with Otto Perreira as the violin soloist. Debut in National Opera of Timisoara, November 2011 with Traviata (Marcu, Balasescu, Estefan) again was the vaste success of maestro Savic.
During month of July 2012, maestro held the Symphonic Orchestra Masterclass in Saint Petersburg, Russia, hosting the candidates from round the world, collaborating with the prestigeous State Hermitage Orchestra. The same year in October maestro returned to Bucharest, Romania, for season's opening of National radio Chamber orchestra with Pavel Kohout (Czech Rpublic) as the organ soloist. Later in November, mr Savic made a very successfull recording session of Puccini's soprano arias, with mme Pia Brodnik as the soloist, with the prestigeous London Symphony Orchestra in Abbey Road Studios.
In April 2013 maestro Savic successfully appeared in prestigeous Sofia National Opera and Ballet, Bulgaria, performing Mascagni's Cavelleria Rusticana and Puccini's Gianni Schicchi (staging Kartaloff, Andreev, Georgiev). May the same year was the period when one recent idea became thruth - the National Theater in Nis again has the Music deprtment, established after more than 40 years, now opened with Strauss Flederemaus, performed by the Orchestra, Chorus and soloists of Academy of Arts in Nis under the batton of Mo Savic, in front of the delirious audience (staging I. Vukovic). In June, mr Savic closed the season with famous Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra in prestigeous "Bulgaria" hall, recorded by Bulgarian National Television (Kolundzija, Stamatovic soloists). To the same Hall with the same Orchestra Maestro returned in April 2015 conducting in the Concert season "Classical pearls and world premiers" (Koleva, Taner soloists). Again in August 2013, he conducted a main event on Summer festival of Opera and Operetta in Roselul Park with Romanian State Opera from Timisoara (Brumar, Ling, Mara). In November mr Savic conducted The Maria Callas Tribute Opera Galla in "Elena Teodorini" Lyric Theater with young European soloists in Craiova, Romania, during the 40th edition of the Music Festival bearing the same name. This was followed by the Jury membership of the 1st International Vocal Competition and appearance for the final stage with the Orchestra in the same Theater.
The year of 2014 begun with an outstanding debut with Cyprus State Symphony Orchestra and January concerts in Pafos and Nicosia, with music of Copland, Lutoslawski, Vorisek and Sophia Serghi. Already in March, maestro Savic had a great success conducting performances of Rossini's Barber of Seville and Puccini's Madama Butterfly in Ural Opera nd Ballet Theater in Ekaterinburg, Russia, one of the four Federal Music Theaters in Russia (Bolshoi, Mariinsky, Novosibirsk and Ekaterinburg). The return to this prestigeous theater in June 2015 with the excellent performance of Verdi's Traviata (Savicic-Sekulic, Plazinic, Mironov) was the part of the collaboration protocol with National Theater Beograd, Serbia. The return to Craiova, Romania and "Elena Teodorini" Lyric Theater, was marked with Verdi's Otelo (Budoiu, Vari, Mijailovic) as the opening of Shakespeare Festival on May the 1st 2014. Just a week later, maestro appeared as the guest conductor in National Romanian Opera in Timisoara, successfully performing Verdi's Rigoletto (Petrean, Balasescu, Vezentan). In August, mr Savic was invited to Potenza, Italy, to open a new Summer Festival with Donizetti's "Elisir d'Amore", with young cast, Orchestra Sinfonica Lucana and Coro "Euro Mediterraneo" with a brilliant performance. Back in Timisoara, Romania, Maestro opened a new season with Traviata (Marcu, Horea, Pataca) in September 2014.
The great Asian debut of Maestro Savic was presented by three magficent performances of Puccini's Tosca (Dal Pierro, Gramegna, Fabbian) in Busan Kultural Center, Republic of Korea, in organization of SolOpera, December 2014. Again in Romania, the same month followed an exquisite performance with the National Theater Beograd Opera soloists and Orchestra on "Craiova Musicale" 41st edition of the Festival. In May 2015 mr Savic sussessfully debuted with Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana in Teatro Polyteama Palermo, Italy (Alessio Pianelli, soloist). In the same state, now in prestigeous Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, in August Maestro conducted Rossini's Barbiere di Sevilla (Bakanova, Mirabelli, Nani), marked in the media as the huge triumph. Later in September, mr Savic made his outstanding debut in Albania, conducting the National Opera and Ballet Symphony Orchestra in Tirana (Voshtina, Franzetti, Ferxha soloists).
Among the others, some of the names with which mr Savic cooperated are Mikis Theodorakis, Costas Paschalis, Ludovic Spiess, Maya Plisetskaya, Vladimir Vasilev, Jiri Menzel, Bonaldo Giaiotti, Maria Slatinaru – Nistor, Corneliu Murgu, Alexandrina Milcheva, Peter Dvorsky, Ljubov Kazarnovskaya and other.

I Think I Have It....
No fever; yet. But I have a sore throat, a head ache, my chest hurts. I have a cough and I have had un upset tummy for a couple days now. I feel exhausted; no matter how much I sleep. I feel really weak.
So, I am pushing fluids while I can. I took some extra vitamin C and Airborne vitamins. I think I will defrost a chicken and make some chicken noodle soup for everyone too in my crockpot.
I feel like crapola.

The cough and the chest pain is killer. Other than that, thanks to Tamiflu, we have all be doing really well. My youngest two didn't get it - they are on Tamiflu for preventative treatment. My oldest was 99% better in 48 hours thanks to Tamiflu. He looked like DEATH WARMED OVER when he initially came down with it. I havent seen him that sick since he had the RotoVirus when he was 18 months old (he was hospitalized and even spent the night in the ICU!)
Oh, I hope there's a healthy adult in your house to take care of your son! I was very lucky in that I was the only one who had H1N1 in the house, and my ex took care of the girls the whole time.<br />
<br />
But it will pass, of course. The fever was actually the most bothersome thing to me (except for the cough that lasted for 4 weeks) so I hope you continue to do well in that regard...
Its the healthy people that die....My immune system is like, Oh yeah, we are sick again. This is nothing new. Your immune system totally over reacts and shuts down your important organs. That is why its so important for the generally healthy ones to get on tamiflu ASAP
The H1N1 vaccine has been widely available in Canada....I have heard of long lines, but not stories of not being able to get it (I watch Canadian news every night). Seems strange that they have it and here it is so difficult to get, if you can get it at all.<br />
<br />
NGNM~keep me posted on your piggy flu!! :-(
Oh. :( Makes me feel good about being retired and a semi-agoraphobic -- don't mix in person much, so less exposure. Now -- if my wife would just stop substitute teaching. LOL
I got the flu shot. <br />
<br />
My son has swine flu. I have the same symptoms that he has. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the N1H1 vaccine as it has not been available here.
Take care of yourself, you don't want it to get worse. Doesn't have to be Swine Flu, but even the plain old flu can be dangerous.
Oh, no, that's not good.
Be careful, NGNM. I hope you get over it soon. It's already been through my house twice. Watch out for relapses. A lot of people here have thought they were better and then relapsed a couple of days later worse than before. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.973539173603058}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '140269', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:64PSR6EVRPWFR4IKULORGUS4XGWJ5HFQ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b3f79e53-7524-4bf1-83f4-6767fb83ead3>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 23, 3, 58, 4), 'WARC-IP-Address': '184.172.15.84', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Q2Q6JM3U2OZX2WTUB6GGZUNUAINFABS7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:21a14063-e28e-42d2-ad2f-9470c732ef67>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Have-Been-Exposed-To-Swine-Flu/760259', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:cf0c9c69-6099-487f-82c0-cd55fe9a71e2>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '512', 'url': 'http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Have-Been-Exposed-To-Swine-Flu/760259', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.01894897222518921', 'original_id': 'efe0c13c71010b5254166f1160bbb49379a9eddc6d7a3e2623bd32adb4ee95fc'} |
1. Introduction {#sec1-materials-12-01412}
===============
Graphene reinforced polymer nanocomposites have been attracting considerable attention from both research and industry communities due to their exceptional mechanical properties \[[@B1-materials-12-01412]\]. Compared to other reinforcements, such as carbon black (CB) \[[@B2-materials-12-01412]\], carbon fibers (CFs) \[[@B3-materials-12-01412]\] and carbon nanotube (CNT) \[[@B4-materials-12-01412]\], graphene and its derivatives give better performance among these reinforcements. Rafiee et al. \[[@B5-materials-12-01412],[@B6-materials-12-01412]\] experimentally found that the Young's modulus of the epoxy composite increased by 31% when reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) while only a 3% increase was achieved when it was reinforced by CNTs. Tang et al. \[[@B7-materials-12-01412]\] reported that the graphene reinforced nanocomposite possesses higher strength and fracture toughness when the graphene is highly dispersed in the polymer matrix. Liu et al.'s comparative study \[[@B8-materials-12-01412],[@B9-materials-12-01412]\] demonstrated that the mechanical properties of graphene reinforcing alumina ceramic composites is higher than those of monolithic ceramic composites. Lee et al. \[[@B10-materials-12-01412]\] synthesized functionalized graphene sheet/epoxy nanocomposites for cryotank application and found a significant increase in strength and toughness. Some other notable research works also proved that graphene can significantly increase the elastic stiffness and strength of polymer nanocomposites \[[@B11-materials-12-01412],[@B12-materials-12-01412],[@B13-materials-12-01412],[@B14-materials-12-01412]\].
In order to make the best use of graphene reinforcements, the concept of functionally graded materials (FGM) \[[@B15-materials-12-01412],[@B16-materials-12-01412]\] is introduced into GPLs reinforced composites. Since it is very difficult to fabricate a functionally graded structure with GPLs reinforcement varying continuously and smoothly over thickness direction due to the constraints of current manufacturing technology, Yang and his co-workers \[[@B17-materials-12-01412],[@B18-materials-12-01412],[@B19-materials-12-01412]\] introduced a layer-wise functionally graded nanocomposite beam reinforced by GPLs (FG-GPLRC). Huang et al. \[[@B20-materials-12-01412],[@B21-materials-12-01412],[@B22-materials-12-01412]\] investigated the nonlinear in-plane instability of composite arches reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets and found that the buckling behaviors of FG-GPLRC arches are significantly affected by the GPLRC distribution pattern. Shen et al. \[[@B23-materials-12-01412],[@B24-materials-12-01412]\] conducted a series of studies on the nonlinear bending, thermal buckling and post-buckling of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated beams resting on elastic foundations and discussed the effects of the graphene reinforcement distribution, laminate layer stacking sequence, temperature variation and foundation stiffness on the mechanical behaviors of the beam in detail. Other notable research work on this GPLs reinforced composite can also be found in the literature \[[@B25-materials-12-01412],[@B26-materials-12-01412],[@B27-materials-12-01412]\]. Due to the mechanical advantages of high stiffness and strength, graphene nanocomposites offer huge potential in weight-sensitive applications such as aerospace, automotive and marine structures.
It is well known that a crack in a structure can reduce the stiffness of the structure and may change the mechanical characteristics and also mode shapes of the structure due to the local flexibility introduced by the crack \[[@B28-materials-12-01412],[@B29-materials-12-01412],[@B30-materials-12-01412],[@B31-materials-12-01412],[@B32-materials-12-01412],[@B33-materials-12-01412],[@B34-materials-12-01412]\]. Lellep et al. \[[@B35-materials-12-01412],[@B36-materials-12-01412],[@B37-materials-12-01412]\] focused on the problem of vibration and optimization of elastic solids with and without a crack. Yang and his co-workers \[[@B38-materials-12-01412],[@B39-materials-12-01412],[@B40-materials-12-01412],[@B41-materials-12-01412]\] investigated the free and nonlinear vibration, buckling and post-buckling of a cracked FGM beam and discussed the effect of cracks on the mechanical behavior of a FGM beam in detail. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no previous work has been done on cracked graphene reinforced nanocomposite structures, including any of its mechanical characteristics. Hence, this paper aims to numerically study the free vibration and buckling behaviors of FG-GPLRC beams with edge cracks by using the finite element method. The Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model and rule of mixture are employed to determine the effective Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and mass density, respectively. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of the GPL distribution pattern, weight fraction, geometry, crack depth ratio (CDR), slenderness ratio and boundary conditions of the beam on the characteristics of the fundamental frequency and the critical buckling load.
2. Effective Material Properties of GPLRC {#sec2-materials-12-01412}
=========================================
A FG-GPLRC beam with the dimensions of length *L*, thickness *h* and width *b* consists of multilayer isotropic polymer materials reinforced by GPLs that uniformly disperses and randomly orients in each layer, containing an edge crack of depth *a* located at a distance *L*~1~ from the left end as shown in [Figure 1](#materials-12-01412-f001){ref-type="fig"}a. Each GPLRC layer has equal thickness and perfectly bonds with each other. As shown in [Figure 1](#materials-12-01412-f001){ref-type="fig"}b, the darker color represents a higher content of GPL nanofillers allocated in this layer. For the U-GPLRC beam, all layers are uniformly dispersed with the same content of GPL nanofillers. The X-GPLRC beam has higher content of GPL nanofillers on the top and bottom layers of GPL nanofillers. The O-GPLRC beam has the opposite distribution of GPL nanofillers toward the X-GPLRC beam. The GPL nanofillers in the A-GPLRC beam gradually increase from the top layer to the bottom layer.
Among the micromechanical models used to predict the effective elastic modulus of GPLRC such as the Halpin-Tsai model \[[@B42-materials-12-01412]\], Mori-Tanaka model \[[@B43-materials-12-01412],[@B44-materials-12-01412]\] and Voigt model \[[@B45-materials-12-01412]\], etc., the Halpin-Tsai model is used in the present work since it has been experimentally demonstrated that this model gives a better prediction for the elastic modulus of GPLRC than other models \[[@B46-materials-12-01412]\]. Hence, the effective Young's modulus of each GPLRC layer is evaluated using the Halpin-Tsai model as follows, $$E = \frac{3E_{m}}{8}\frac{1 + \xi_{L}\eta_{L}V_{GPL}^{(k)}}{1 - \eta_{L}V_{GPL}^{(k)}} + \frac{5E_{m}}{8}\frac{1 + \xi_{T}\eta_{T}V_{GPL}^{(k)}}{1 - \eta_{T}V_{GPL}^{(k)}}$$ where the parameters $\eta_{L}$ and $\eta_{T}$ are expressed as follows, $$\eta_{L} = \frac{\left. (E_{GPL}/E_{m} \right) - 1}{(E_{GPL}/E_{m}{) +}\xi_{L}},\ \eta_{T} = \frac{\left. (E_{GPL}/E_{m} \right) - 1}{(E_{GPL}/E_{m}{) +}\xi_{T}}$$ in which *E*~GPL~ and *E*~m~ are moduli of the GPL and matrix, respectively. The geometry factors *ξ*~L~ and *ξ*~T~ of GPLs considered in Equation (1) are defined by $$\xi_{L} = 2(a_{GPL}/t_{GPL}),~\xi_{L} = 2(b_{GPL}/t_{GPL})$$ where *a*~GPL~, *b*~GPL~ and *t*~GPL~ are the length, width and thickness of GPLs, respectively, and therefore $$\xi = 2(a_{GPL}/b_{GPL})(b_{GPL}/t_{GPL})$$ where *a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~ is the aspect ratio and *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ is the width-to-thickness ratio. The *k*-th layer volume fraction of GPLs $V_{GPL}^{(k)}$ considered in Equation (1) takes the form of $$\text{U-GPLRC}:~V_{GPL}^{(k)} = V_{GPL}^{\ast},$$ $$\text{X-GPLRC}:~V_{GPL}^{(k)}{= 2}V_{GPL}^{\ast}\left| {2k - N_{L} - \left. 1 \right|} \right./N_{L},$$ $$\text{O-GPLRC}:~V_{GPL}^{(k)}{= 2}V_{GPL}^{\ast}\left( {1 - \left| {2k - N_{L} - \left. 1 \right|} \right./N_{L}} \right),$$ $$\text{A-GPLRC}:~V_{GPL}^{(k)} = V_{GPL}^{\ast}\left( {2k - 1} \right)/N_{L},$$ where the total number of layers for the beam is *N*~L~ and *k* = 1, 2, ..., *N*~L~. The total GPL volume fraction $V_{GPL}^{*}$ is expressed by $$V_{GPL}^{\ast} = \frac{W_{GPL}}{W_{GPL} + \left( {\rho_{GPL}/\rho_{m}} \right)\left( {1 - W_{GPL}} \right)},$$ where *W*~GPL~ is the total GPL weight fraction in the whole beam.
Since the Halpin-Tsai model can only give the elastic modulus, the mass density $\rho$ and Poisson's ratio $\upsilon$ of GPLs reinforced composite materials are determined by employing the rule of mixture in this paper \[[@B23-materials-12-01412],[@B24-materials-12-01412],[@B25-materials-12-01412]\]. $$\rho = \rho_{m}V_{m} + \rho_{GPL}V_{GPL}$$ $$\upsilon = \upsilon_{m}V_{m} + \upsilon_{GPL}V_{GPL}$$ where *ρ*~GPL~ and *ρ*~m~ are mass densities of the GPL and the matrix, *υ*~GPL~ and *υ*~m~ are Poisson's ratios of the GPL and the matrix, respectively. The volume fractions *V*~GPL~ and *V*~m~ are related by *V*~m~ + *V*~GPL~ = 1.
3. Finite Element Implementation {#sec3-materials-12-01412}
================================
In this paper, ANSYS 14.5 (ANSYS, Inc., Cannonsburg, PA, USA) is employed as the finite element (FE) package to compute the natural frequencies and the buckling loads of FG-GPLRC beams with edge cracks. The crack is assumed to locate perpendicularly to the top surface along the width direction of the GPLRC layer and has a V-shaped. In finite element simulation, a structural solid element PLANE183 is used to model the cracked FG-GPLRC beam model, and the multi-layered GPLRC modelled by PLANE183 element is perfectly glued layer-by-layer. The mesh grid of the beam and around the crack tip is shown in [Figure 2](#materials-12-01412-f002){ref-type="fig"}. For the GPLRC layers with a crack, singular elements as shown in [Figure 2](#materials-12-01412-f002){ref-type="fig"}b are used to mesh the area in the vicinity of the crack to model the stress singularity at the crack tip. For the GPLRC layers without crack, 200 rectangular elements with the same thickness as a single GPLRC layer are adopted to mesh the perfect GPLRC layer.
For the finite element method, the model of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam is discretized into an assemblage of discrete finite elements, which are interconnected at the nodal points on element boundaries. The displacement field can be represented using the nodal displacements, which is approximated over each finite element. The equations of motion can then be formulated using the displacement-based formulation in conjunction with the principle of virtual displacements. These equations of motion can be written as \[[@B47-materials-12-01412]\], $$\mathbf{M}\overset{¨}{\mathbf{U}} + \left( {\mathbf{K}_{e} + \mathbf{K}_{\mathsf{\sigma}}} \right)\mathbf{U} = \mathbf{0},$$ where overdots indicate differentiation with respect to time, $\mathbf{M}$, $\mathbf{K}_{e}$ and $\mathbf{K}_{\mathsf{\sigma}}$ are the mass matrix, bending stiffness matrix and geometric stiffness matrix that are dependent on the effective Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and mass density determined from the Halpin-Tsai model (Equations (1)--(9)) and rule of mixture (Equations (10) and (11)) and contain crack parameters of the FG-GPLRC beam, respectively. It should be noted that the geometric stiffness matrix depends on the pre-stressed state in the structure as well.
For the harmonic free vibration, Equation (12) yields $$\left( {\mathbf{K}_{e} - \omega^{2}\mathbf{M}} \right)\mathbf{U} = \mathbf{0},$$ where $\omega$ represents the fundamental frequency of the FG-GPLRC beam.
For the elastic buckling, the critical buckling load can be obtained from Equation (12) by neglecting the inertia terms. An eigenvalue equation can be derived as $$\left( {\mathbf{K}_{e} + \lambda\mathbf{K}_{\mathsf{\sigma}}} \right)\mathbf{U} = \mathbf{0},$$ from which the critical buckling load of the beam can be obtained by solving the equation det(**K** + *λ***K~σ~**) = 0, where the scale parameter *λ* represents the critical buckling load.
It should be noted that due to the multi-layered nature of the beam, the homogeneous element formulation which assumes constant material properties within each element is used in the present study. Such an approximation requires uniform and fine meshing along the beam thickness. Otherwise, a graded element formulation \[[@B48-materials-12-01412]\] in which the material properties are graded at element level is more appropriate and should be used for more accurate analysis.
4. Results and Discussion {#sec4-materials-12-01412}
=========================
4.1. Verification {#sec4dot1-materials-12-01412}
-----------------
The size and mechanical parameters of the isotropic homogeneous Timoshenko beam employed in this study are: length *L* = 0.2 m, height *h* = 0.0078 m, Young's modulus *E* = 216 GPa, density *ρ* = 7850 kg/m^3^ and Poisson ratio *v* = 0.28. The first natural frequencies of a clamped-free (C-F) beam with an open edge crack of depth *a*/*h* = 0.2 at different locations (*L*~1~/*L* = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) are compared with that of an intact beam in [Table 1](#materials-12-01412-t001){ref-type="table"}. The results obtained by the present method show good agreement with the analytical results obtained by Ke et al. \[[@B38-materials-12-01412]\].
[Table 2](#materials-12-01412-t002){ref-type="table"} compares the critical buckling load and dimensionless fundamental frequency for an intact C-C FG-X-GPLRC beam based on the present method with the corresponding results for an intact FG-GPLRC based on the first shear deformation theory \[[@B49-materials-12-01412]\]. Again, the results also achieve excellent agreement.
In what follows, the free vibration behaviors and elastic buckling characteristics of edge cracked FG-GPLRC beams with three types of boundary conditions, namely, clamped-free (C-F); hinged-hinged (H-H), and clamped-clamped (C-C) are investigated. The cracked beam has a cross-section with *b* × *h* = 0.03 m × 0.06 m and has an edge crack with depth *a*. Each GPLRC layer of the beam is made from a mixture of epoxy and GPLs with *a*~GPL~ = 2.5 µm, *b*~GPL~ = 1.5 µm and *t*~GPL~ = 1.5 nm. The Young's moduli and mass densities of the epoxy and GPLs are 3 GPa, 1200 kg/m^3^ and 1010 GPa, 1062.5 kg/m^3^, and the Poisson's ratios *υ* of the epoxy and GPLs are 0.186 and 0.34, respectively. Moreover, it was concluded in our previous work \[[@B17-materials-12-01412],[@B18-materials-12-01412],[@B19-materials-12-01412]\] that an ideal functionally graded beam which is continuous in material properties and composition can be accurately modelled using a multilayer FG-GPLRC beam with *N*~L~ = 10. Thus, *N*~L~ = 10 is used in all of the following numerical analyses.
4.2. Free Vibration Analysis {#sec4dot2-materials-12-01412}
----------------------------
[Figure 3](#materials-12-01412-f003){ref-type="fig"} illustrates the fundamental vibration mode shapes of functionally graded X-GPLRC beams in the presence of a crack. The results for the perfect beams without a crack are also provided for comparison. Based on the fact that the mode shape can be arbitrarily scaled, it is evident that virtually the mode shape is not affected by the edge crack.
[Table 3](#materials-12-01412-t003){ref-type="table"} gives information about the dimensionless fundamental frequencies $\omega_{1}/\omega_{10}$ for C-C cracked FG-GPLRC beams with CDR (*a*/*h*) = 0.3. Noted that $\omega_{1}$ is the fundamental frequency of cracked FG-GPLRC beams, and $\omega_{10}$ is the fundamental frequency of pure epoxy beam without a crack. As shown in [Table 3](#materials-12-01412-t003){ref-type="table"}, the fundamental frequencies for C-C cracked FG-GPLRC beams with different weight fractions and distribution patterns of GPLs are tabulated. A higher bending stiffness of the cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam can be obtained by dispersing more GPLs filler in two sides of the layers. As a result, the beam with this kind of GPLs distribution patterns (FG-X) has a greater fundamental frequency followed by the FG-U-, FG-A- and FG-O-GPLRC beams. In addition, there is an increase in all of the fundamental frequencies with the increase in the GPLs weight fraction. The fundamental frequencies of cracked FG-GPLRC beams for different crack positions are much greater than those of the pure epoxy beams, illustrating the considerable reinforcement effect of GPLs.
[Figure 4](#materials-12-01412-f004){ref-type="fig"} gives information about the effect of the geometry and dimension of GPLs on the fundamental frequencies of the C-C cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam by using the parameters as the aspect ratio (*a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~) and width-to-thickness ratio (*b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~). When the width *b*~GPL~ of GPL is kept constant, a larger value of aspect ratio (*a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~) shows that a single graphene layer with larger surface area, and a greater magnitude width-to-thickness ratio (*b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~) reflects fewer single graphene layers. The numerical results show that the fundamental frequencies increase with the *a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~ and *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~, and the increases are limited after *a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~ = 4 and *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ = 10^3^, respectively. It was also found that smaller fundamental frequencies appear when the crack is located near two ends and at the mid-span of the beam. [Figure 5](#materials-12-01412-f005){ref-type="fig"} shows that the fundamental frequency ratios increase as both *a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~ and *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ increase. While the changes are much less pronounced when *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ is close to 10^3^, beyond this the fundamental frequency remains almost unchanged.
[Table 4](#materials-12-01412-t004){ref-type="table"} lists the dimensionless fundamental frequencies of the C-C cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam with different CDRs where CDR = 0.0 indicates a beam without crack. It is found that the existence of the crack is remarkable for the change of fundamental frequencies of the beam, and the fundamental frequencies decrease as the CDR increases. The reason is that there is a more drastic decline in stiffness due to the rise of crack depth ratios in the beam.
[Figure 6](#materials-12-01412-f006){ref-type="fig"} compares the first two frequencies of the FG-X-GPLRC with different boundary conditions. It can be found that variations in the second frequencies of the cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam with different boundary conditions seem to be much more complicated than those for the fundamental frequencies. From the [Figure 6](#materials-12-01412-f006){ref-type="fig"}a,b, the lowest frequencies for the first two frequencies of the C-C and C-F beams are found to be at the same locations. However, for the H-H beam, it has the lowest ratio at *L*~1~/*L* = 0.5 for the fundamental frequency, and at *L*~1~/*L* = 0.2, 0.8 for the second frequency. [Figure 7](#materials-12-01412-f007){ref-type="fig"} shows that the C-C cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam with a lower slenderness ratio has a much greater fundamental frequency due to its much greater bending rigidity.
4.3. Buckling Analysis {#sec4dot3-materials-12-01412}
----------------------
[Figure 8](#materials-12-01412-f008){ref-type="fig"} plots the buckling mode shape of the FG-X-GPLRC beam with or without an open edge crack. Similar to the vibration mode shapes in [Figure 3](#materials-12-01412-f003){ref-type="fig"}, the buckling mode shape is not sensitive to the edge crack. [Figure 9](#materials-12-01412-f009){ref-type="fig"} shows the critical buckling load for cracked C-C FG-GPLRC beams with different distribution patterns of GPL. The FG-X-GPLRC beam gives the highest critical buckling load because layers at two sides of the beam, where the greater normal bending stress appears, distribute more GPLs. Hence, the FG-X-GPLRC beam produces the best reinforcing effect among the four kinds of beams. [Table 5](#materials-12-01412-t005){ref-type="table"} shows that the critical buckling loads of the FG-X-GPLRC beam are clearly higher than those of the pure epoxy beam (*W*~GPL~ = 0.0%) and increase as GPL weight fraction increases.
[Figure 10](#materials-12-01412-f010){ref-type="fig"} compares the effects of GPLs geometry and dimensions on the critical buckling load of the FG-X-GPLRC beam with an edge crack. It is observed that the changes of the critical buckling load are more sensitive to the GPLs width-to-thickness ratio (*b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~) ([Figure 10](#materials-12-01412-f010){ref-type="fig"}b) than those of the aspect ratio (*a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~) ([Figure 10](#materials-12-01412-f010){ref-type="fig"}a), although the critical buckling loads increase as both *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ and *a*~GPL~/*b*~GPL~. It is also seen that the smaller critical buckling loads for the C-C FG-X-GPLRC beam occur when the edge crack is located at the mid-span or near the end of the beam, which is similar to the results of the free vibration analysis ([Figure 4](#materials-12-01412-f004){ref-type="fig"}).
[Figure 11](#materials-12-01412-f011){ref-type="fig"} illustrates the critical buckling loads of C-C, C-F and H-H beams with the edge crack at different crack locations. It is clear that there are symmetric critical buckling loads with respect to the crack location curves of C-C and H-H beams, which have geometrical symmetry. For the C-F beam, the highest and lowest critical buckling loads occur when the edge crack is located at the free end and restrained end, respectively.
[Table 6](#materials-12-01412-t006){ref-type="table"} lists the critical buckling loads of C-C cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam with various CDR *a*/*h* and slenderness ratio *L*/*h*. It can be found that the CDR has a significant influence on the critical buckling loads of the cracked FG-X-GPLRC beam, and the critical buckling loads decrease as CDR increases. It is noted that a lower slenderness ratio leads to a much greater critical buckling load as expected.
5. Conclusions {#sec5-materials-12-01412}
==============
This paper illustrates the free vibration and buckling behaviors of graphene nanoplatelets reinforced functionally graded beams with edge cracks by using finite element modelling. The effective material properties of GPLRC were determined by the Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. Numerical results are shown in both graphical and tabular forms to examine the influences of GPLs distribution pattern, weight fraction, GPLs geometry, crack depth and location, the slenderness ratio as well as the boundary conditions of the beam on the fundamental frequency and critical buckling load of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam. It was found that the fundamental frequency and critical buckling load drop with the increase in crack depth, and the lowest fundamental frequency and critical buckling load of C-C and H-H beams are found when the crack is located in the midspan. However, for the C-F beam, the lowest values are determined when the crack is located at the end. The cracked FG-GPLRC beam with more GPLs distributed near the surface, which has a greater natural frequency and critical buckling load than the other distribution patterns, makes more effective use of GPL reinforcements. It was also found that the influences of the geometry and size of GPL nanofillers are quite significant but limited when the *b*~GPL~/*t*~GPL~ of GPLs is higher than 10^3^. This paper also discussed and analyzed the influences of the slenderness ratio and boundary conditions through illustrative numerical examples.

It could have been as early as 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ that these horses were moved on to greener pastures - and no-one has laid eyes on them until now.
Archaeologists have painstakingly uncovered the almost-3,000-year-old remains of horses and wooden chariot in a Zhou Dynasty tomb in Luoyang, Henan Province, China.
The completed excavation unearthed four horse-and-chariot pits, dating back to as far as 770BC.
Watering the horses: A staff member sprays water to maintain the humidity of an ancient horse and chariot pit unearthed in Luoyang, China. The main pit has a five chariots and 12 horses buring almost 3,000 years ago
Exciting find: Archaeologists say this is the most complete find of any tomb of its era. The wooden chariots have completely rotted away, with only the ash residue remaining
Funeral procession: The main pit contains five chariots and 12 horses. Archaeologists say that the animals were not entombed alive
The pits have well-preserved evidence of bronzeware and ceramics from the Early Western Zhou dynasty.
Though a far smaller tomb than the famous 'terracotta army' found in 1974 in the Lintong District, this find has been undisturbed while buried - not suffering the ravages of grave robbers.
Archaeologists believe that the tomb belongs to an official of some renown during the dynasty - pottery, metal weaponwry and inscriptions are consisted with a man of mid-level importance.
Apart from the artifacts themselves, the tomb is an exciting discovery for historians, as it provides unquestionable insights into the funeral customs in the early Western Zhou dynasty.
The unearthed tomb is a vertical earthen pit tomb, which is very common in that period.
Because of the ancient nature of the site, the traditionally wooden coffin and body within have long-since carbonised.
But the most valuable discovery by far is the complete set of chariots and horses of all different shapes and sizes.
Animal lovers can at least breathe a small sigh of relief - archaeologists say the side-lying nature of the horse remains show that the animals were slaughtered before burial, and not entombed alive.
At the time of this official''s death, large-scale irrigation projects were being instituted across China, and the nation's writing system was being further developed.
It was also the time of the great Chinese philosophers of antiquity, including Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuangzi.
Many nearby tombs have fragments of the Luoyang find, but most have been emptied of their funeral relics by thieves.
Protected from theft: While other tombs in the region have been stripped of their contents, the Luoyang tomb includes pottery, copper weaponry, jade and other objects
Historical riches: Apart from the physical objects uncovered in the tomb, historians now have a richer understanding of funeral rites and customs of the Zhou dynasty[klikunic.com]

The plan of pubb'shing one medicine in one volume is incompatible with the intention of the proposed Materia Medica, as will be shewn in the sequel to this report. It seemed, there- fore, better to continue the present constitution till at least two inde- pendent saleable works were produced, viz., the complete Pathogenetic Cyclopaedia or Repertory, and one complete volume of the Materia Medica, because until then it was impossible to test two points: — 1st, Its success in a mercantile sense ; many persons olgecting to buy a work until finished. 2nd, The success of the Materia Medica as a useful practical volume, because few practitioners care to consult a volume where there are only three medicines. Drs. Atkin and Ramsbotham, however, gave their testimony to the use they had derived from the Materia Medica, even in its present fragmentary state ; they found it useful not only in practice, but as a work to put into the hands of enquiring intelligent allopaths. The homoeopathic VierteljaJarschrift has pronounced a most favourable opinion upon it, especially commending the usefulness and practical character of the work, and expressing an earnest hope that the con- tinuation of it will not be delayed. It was then moved by Dr. Ramsbotham and seconded by Mr. Phillips, ** That this meeting recommend to the members of the Hahnemann Publishing Society that the society shall be continued on its present constitution after its expiration next year.'' The decision was unanimous in favor of continuing the society. It was theref9re agreed that the acting committee push on the com- pletion of the Pathogenetic Cyclopsedia or Repertory with the greatest vigour, and by the joint labour of several persons, so as, if possible, to complete it by next year, and afterwards urge on the completion of the first volume of the Materia Medica. A call of seven shillings per share was agreed to. Since this meeting the society has added to its number, Drs. Walker, Sharp, Acworth, WUkins, and Stokes. There are now 43 members holding 92 shares, representing a capital of £020. In accordance with these instructions, the acting committee at once took steps for completing the Pathogenetic Cyclopcedia. They held a meeting at Cheltenham in September, a second at Birmingham in No- vember, and a third at the same place in January 1854. The result of these meetings, and a lengthened correspondence, has been that a plan of a Repertory has now been agreed on, which they hope presents various marked advantages not possessed by any such work hitherto published. The plan adopted varies from that pursued in the first volume, as i;^ be apparent from the general rules to be observed in inreparing the Repertory, printed copies of which have been furnished 4x> each woxker.

The object of this work is to afford an opportunity for the recording or translating, and publishing of standard provings of new or re- provings of old medicines. From time to time additional physiological experiments are instituted with remedies, and when these have acquired a complete form it is desirable that there should be a work devoted to their publication in a collected form. In fact, this work naturally takes the place it was originally attempted to fill by the appendix to The British Journal of Homoeopathy^ and since then has been adopted by the North American and French journals. Such matters are, how- ever, of too wide a scope for journals, and are there apt to be over- looked. A special work devoted to them is essentially necessary, especially since the publication of the very full and elaborate provings of the Austrian Society. The Materia Medica is a serial work, open to all contributors who are willing to furnish a full proving of a remedy ; the contributors being at liberty to arrange their materials in the way they think best calculated to illustrate the medicine and to facilitate reference. Each medicine is paged separately, so that at a future time they may be bound up alphabetically, with the preface and materials for continuous paging, which will be forwarded then. The introduction which accompanies the medicines already published is not meant to furnish rules binding on contributors, but was merely accepted by the committee as expressing sufficiently accurately their general views. The medicines already published are. Kali bich,, by Dr. Drysdale ; Aconite, by Dr. Dudgeon ; Arsenic, by Dr. Black. In the arrangement of the schema of these medicines a plan has been followed, which, after much examination, was by the workers of each of those three medicines considered the best form. But this involves no compulsory schema on future contributors, who are at liberty to follow their own judgment ; at the same time, if a uniform plan could be followed it would be an advantage. The acting committee will not adopt or reject any work afforded on account of the principle or plan of arrangement, their task being simply to ascertain that the contributed work is sufficiently elaborate. The more incomplete or imperfect provings had better appear first in one of the current periodicals, and afterwards be republished in this work in their more complete form. At the same time, to satisfy the members of the society that all opinions are duly represented in the committee, a proposal will be made at the next meeting to cause a certain portion of the committee to be changed every year in rotation. The medicines already in hand, some finished, others in preparation) are, Argentum nitricum, by Drs. Wright and Drysdale ; Cotyledon um- bilicus, by Dr. Craig; Colocynth, by Dr. Irvine; Glonoine, by Dr. New Proving Societies. 339 Dudgeon ; Thuja, by Dr. Madden ; Mercury and its preparations, and Digitalis, by Dr. Black. Dr. Russel hopes to prepare for this publica- tion, in a more complete form, the proving of the Naja tripudians, a portion of which appears in the present number of the journal. The society are anxious to receive every assistance in this work ; those desirous to contribute are requested to write to Dr. Black, Clifton. Notice is hereby given, that the next Meeting of the Society will be held at Leamington, on the 10th August 1854, at 9 a.m., to consider the future continuance and operations of the Society ; the election of Treasurer, Secretary, and Acting (Committee. Francis Black, Treasurer. Claudius B. Eer, Secretary. New Societies for proving Medicines, On the 10th of August of last year two similar works were begun in different hemispheres. In Germany, at the instigation of Dr. Hirschel, a society was formed for the proving of medicines ; and in America^ in the city of '' brotherly love,'' Philadelphia, a similar philanthropic union was instituted under the direction of Dr. Hering. The German society pro- posed at the meeting of the Central Union of homoeopathists, held last year at Magdeburg, by Dr. Hirschel, was intended by him not so much to prove new medicines as to re-prove such as had been already imperfectiy proved, after the manner of the Vienna Society for Physiological Provings. In order to carry out this object he proposed to nominate a commission which should draw up the general principles on which the provings should be conducted, fix the method of keeping diaries, lay down rules for diet, for the dose and the repetition of the medicine to be proved, &c. How- ever, this idea of naming a commission was abandoned, and it was agreed to enti'ust Dr. Hartlaub, of Reichenau, a prover of ten years' standing, with the care of drawing up the necessary rules ; Dr. Hartiaub accepted this trust, and as he was a practical pharmaceutist of considerable experi- ence, it was agreed that he should supply the members of the Proving Society with the medicines they were to test, these medicines being pre- pared by himself. It was further provided that Dr. Hartiaub should receive the communications of the members detailing the account of their provings, and arrange them for final publication. At first starting no fewer than fourteen physicians present at the meeting pledged themselves to undertake provings of medicines. It was arranged that such medicines to be proved should be furnished by Dr. Hartiaub in three different forms. 1. The primitive preparation ; 2, a low dilution; 3, a higher attenuation prepared according to the centesimal scale. The name of the medicine should not be furnished to the prover until after the VOL. XII, NO. XLVIII. — APRIL, 1854. 7. 340 MisceUatieous. proving was completed. The medicines to be proved should be chiefly some of those that had been already tested by Hahnemann. The special choice of the medicine to be left with Dr. Hartlaub, from the list of medicines selected for proving by the Society. Dr. Hartlaub drew up a series of rules and instructions for the Society, of which we shall give an abstract. All German homceopathic practitioners are invited to assist in the work. Non-medical persons, women and children, are also desired to assist, under the direction of a medical man. Preparations of the medicines to be proved, — Three degrees of each medicine to be presented to the members. 1. The primitive preparation, either in solution, tincture, essence or powder, or one of the first tritura- tions. 2. A lowish potency (from the 3rd to the 6th). 3. A higher potency (from the 15th to the 30thJ. This year the provings are to be made, beginning at the higher potency and ending with the primitive preparation. Next year probably the opposite order may be followed. Abstinence, hunger, &sting, &c., are advisable, as they promote the action of the medicine. Dose and form of the medicine. — From 2 to 6 drops in one or more spoonfuls of water is the suitable dose of the primitive preparation of the medicine about to be proved. Very sensitive persons, especially women and children, should take less. The attenuations are to be proved in doses of two drops in water. Time for taking the medicine, — ^The prover must select his own time, but it should be one of these periods : in the morning before breakfast, in the forenoon, in the afternoon between four and five o'clock, or at night before going to bed. The best time is probably an hour before going to bed. JRepetition if the medicine. — ^After taking one dose the prover should wait at least three days to observe its efiects. If any action occurs no more medicine should be taken till all is over, and then another dose of the same, or of another preparation of the medicine may be taken. But if no efiect should be perceived after three days, two more doses should be taken at intervals of twenty-four hours. If three days after this no efiect is seen, then the medicine may be taken every day once, twice, or three times a day till an efiect is produced, and then it should be discontinued till all the action is over. From four to eight weeks after this should be allowed to elapse before undertaking the proving of a fresh medicine. Diet, — The best results are obtained by those who are in the habit of living quite simply without beer, wine, cofiee, tea, vinegar, spices, tobacco, &c. But it would not do for those accustomed to a less simple diet to adopt this at once. They should rather live much in their ordinary way, only very moderately, and avoiding all excess. If used to a bottle of wine a day, they should take but half a bottle ; if used to a glass, half a glass ; if accustomed to drink wine only once or twice a week, they may New Proving Societies, 341 ■ give it up entirely. So also with coffee, smoking, &c. ; all this should be noted in the diary ; also any occasional excesses, chills, &c. Observations, — The prover should indicate, as nearly as possible, the organ or place affected by the medicine, and should pay particular attention to the moral and intellectual symptoms, and those that occur during the night. The kind of sensation and pain ; the appearance, colour, &c., of the secretions, of the skin, &c. The objective symptoms may be elucidated by chemical and microscopical investigations. The influence of temperature, open air, position, attitude, pressure, &c., should be obaerved. Also the duration of the action of the medicine and its anti- dotes. This year the provers are advised especially to attend to the variety of action of the different preparations of the medicine, and to ascertain if there are such things as primary, secondary, alternating, and succeeding actions. By the latter term is understood those symptoms that according to Hering appear weeks or months after the first develop- ment of the action of the medicine. Writing down the symptoms. — ^This must be done at the instant of their occurrence, otherwise they cannot be depended on. Here follow some directions as to the arrangement to be followed that do not concern us. At the commencement of his symptoms the prover should describe his pecu- liarities, mode of living, and diet during the proving time. All the circum- stances and conditions that might have had an influence on the symptoms must be noticed. A few more directions that more especially concern the members of the Society conclude Dr. Hartlaub's instructions. The labours of the Society have already commenced, and each member has been supplied by Dr. Hartlaub with a medicine to be proved in conformity with the above directions. We sincerely trust some great results will follow this fresh effort to create a zealous interest in the much neglected proving of medi- cines. We are glad that the Society has adopted the resolution to devote their attention chiefly to the re-proving of some of those remedies which Hahnemann partially proved. It is in our opinion a matter of much greater moment to ascertain the full sphere of action of our old medicines than to be inundated with imperfect provings of new substances. Our materia medica is already encumbered with such fragmentary provings, few of which can be now of the slightest use to us in practice in their present imperfect condition. We think Dr. Hartlaub might have allowed the provers a little more latitude, and not have bound them down by such stringent rules as to the mode in which the provings are to be conducted, but at the same time we are free to confess that it is better to err on the side of stringency in such matters, than to be too lax in the directions given. We hope ere long to be able to give a good account of the labours of this new Society, and if they only work as energetically and success- fully as the similar society in Vienna, they will merit the gratitude of every one interested in the progress of homGEK>pathy. 342 Miscellaneous. The Society fonnded on the same day as the foregoing, on the other side of the Atlantic, in the city of Philadelphia, is much m^re pretensions in its character than the German one. It is called the American Provers' Union ; but its object seems to be not to unite Americans alone, but me<lical men in all parts of the civilized world into one vast proving Society. We have before us two documents that have been published by this Union. The first contains its constitution and by-laws. We have here a statement of the office-bearers of the Union, the times and mode of conducting its meetings, and the following article shews the way in which it is intended the medicines to be proved shall be chosen : — '^ It shall be the duty of every member at the meeting in April to hand, or to send to the Recording Secretary, a written list, over his own signature, of seven different remedies, which have already been proved, and the provings printed. From the whole number thus received — after they have been communicated to all other societies willing to unite in the yearly proving of one selected medicine, and their votes received — those seven having the greatest number of votes, shall be communicated to the members by the Recording Secretary, whereupon all the members shall proceed forthwith to select one of the seven, and that one having the greatest number oi votes shall be chosen to be proved during the year. In case of a tie vote, the chairman shall decide.*' This, it strikes us, will prove a rather cumbrous piece of machinery, and on the whole we prefer the more simple method fixed upon by the German society. The ignorance in which the provers are kept by the latter society in respect to the medicine they are engaged in proving, seems to us an advantage, as it leaves no room for prejudice or preposses- sion on the part of the prover whereby his proving might be vitiated. The second document is entitled " Suggestions for the proving of Drugs on th(? healthy ; Report of the Committee appointed for that purpose by the American Provers' Union." Prefixed to this, as also to the " Con- stitution," is a list of the officers and corresponding secretaries of the Union. The latter are on the most gigantic scale. Tliey number no less than twenty-two medical men, to each of whom is allotted the correspond- ence with one or more native states or foreign countries. Tlius Dr. Ilering, who heads the list, is " Corresponding Secretary for Florida, Surinam, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Russia." Dr. J. R. Coxe is appointed to the same office for ** Maine, Rhode Island, and British provinces in North America," and so forth. The "Suggestions for proving" are, we understand, from the pen of Dr. Hering, and are well worth the con- sideration of those engaged in such experiments. They are too long to quote in our columns, but we may give a short abstract of them. The introduction states the necessity for proving medicines on as many indi- viduals as possible, of all ages, sexes, constitutions, temperaments, in different climates, &c. The greatest possible identity of the substance to be proved should be obtained. Perfect health is not requisite in the sue- "New Proving Societies. 343 cessful prover, but tolerable health is requisite. Before commencing proving the prover should keep a note of all observable changes in his symptoms for a week or two previously. Provers should live regularly and uniformly during the proving. The art of self-observation is essential^ for the power is only acquired by practice. Skill in proving begets skill in practice. The drug to be proved, — ^The greatest care should be taken to obtain it in its purest and most perfect state. The source whence it is obtained should be stated. If an impure substance have been proved the proving should be repeated when it can be procured in a purer state. The proces^ by which chemical drugs are obtained should be given in detail. Members abroad should send the new substances they introduce, and the drugs indigenous to their country. The season and time of the day should be attended to in the gathering of plants, and their collectors should be experienced botanists. The same caution should be used with substances from the animal kingdom. All that is uncertain of origin, impure or mixed, should be rejected, and quack medicines, secret nostrums and the like should be rejected. Doses, — The most perfect method of proving is to take one dose only, but such a one as is sufficient to produce a decided action. The advantages alleged to attend such a method of proving are the same as those men- tioned by Hahnemann (Org. § cxxx.) No opinion is expressed as to the so-called primary and secondary symptoms. The proper dose for each prover must be discovered by himself, as all differ so much in suscepti- bility. A rather indefinite rule for the dose is given, and one we should think liable to many exceptions, viz. that the greater the solubility of the substance to be proved, the smaller the dose of it should be. The metals are advised to be taken in the form of precipitates obtained by galvanism. Other insolubles should be treated by mechanical pounding and tritura- tion. The minute particles should be kept asunder by means of trituration with milk-sugar. Provers may make their choice as to whether they will prove diluted medicines prepared according to the centesimal or decimal scale. It is stated that apparently inert and insoluble substances have, in the majority of provings, had the most decided influence on the healthy in the triturations containing the millionth up to the billionth, (We may here remark that gold and silver were only proved by Hahnemann in the first trituration, consequently in preparations containing one grain of the metal in one hundred grains.) It is left to the prover to choose whether he will prove the medicines in solutions or dry in the form of triturations. Sugar of milk should not be used in preparing substances which may have a chemical influence on it, or are volatile. Alcohol should not be used with such chemicals as decompose it. (This is a point we long ago insisted on ; thus it is absurd to pretend we are proving or administer- ing, say nitric acid or bromine, when we give them in alcoholic tincture, for by their mixture with alcohol those substances decompose the spirit, 844 Miscellaneous. and form with it new chemical comhinations.) It is undecided whether solnhle sabstances should be proved in the 12th or 6thy or in lower or higher attenuations. (We should say in neither exclusiydy, as the whole action of a medicinal substance can hardly be developed by proring one preparation of it only.) Then follow some directions for proving similar to those contained in the Organon, (§ cxziii, et seq.) which we need not repeat. SepeHHoH of dates. — As long as one dose continnes to act, however slightly, a second should not be taken. I^ however, the symptoms are too indistinct and not characteristic, the dose may be repeated in six or twelve hours, and if not a very powerful substance, the quantity increased ; and this is to be continued for several days untQ distinct symptoms appear. But if after this no symptoms appear the prover should wait a week or two, when sometimes he will be rewarded by the appearance of symptoms due to the medicine previously taken. But if the experiment remain fruitless, then the prover may commence anew, with a higher potency. Some, however, think it best to commence with the 30th, and descend to the lower powers. Others think it best to operate with the highest pre- parations only, repeating them continually till some satisfactory symptoms appear. If a cold, coryza, cough or bowel complaint occur after the first doses, this is a sign that the prover has taken too much of the medicine. After these accidents are past he should recommence with a higher attenu- ation. The same drugs will often present very different, often opposite symptoms in the same individual at different times. These should be carefully noted. Diet and manner of living, — The remarks on this subject are nearly the same as those of Dr. Hartiaub, tiierefore we need not repeat them. Different times of the day should be selected for taking the medicines. Persons not susceptible to the action of drugs should commence by proving opium, coffee, or some other quick acting medicine, after which their susceptibility will be increased. Keeping a dag-book. — The prover should enter his locality, his position in life, manner of living, age, temperament, constitution, disposition, liability to be affected by morbid or other influences: also the year, month, day, the prevailing genius epidemicus, the season, weather, &c. Then the name of the medicine, its source, attenuation, quantity taken, and time of day each dose is taken. The symptoms should be recorded in the order of their appearance. Every symptom should be written down as soon as observed, or shordy afterwards. The symptoms the prover was formerly subject to ought to be noted, with the addition of how often observed before. Technical terms should be avoided as much as possible. In describing objective and subjective symptoms the anatomical seat should be indicated, and for those of the head the phrenological organs should be g^ven. The side of the body on which the symptoms occur should also be stated. The exact course and direction of symptoms should also be observed. The conditions under which the symptoms TIte Homoeopathic Times, 345 occur should be carefully attended to. Prominent symptoms undoubt- edly due to the medicine may be underlined ; doubtful symptoms, inserted between brackets. Every individual will find a great apparent similarity among his symptoms produced by different drugs. These shew the relationship of the symptoms ; but this similarity is also caused by the peculiarity of the prover's constitution. Hence it is necessary, in order to get a good idea of the whole sphere of action of the medicine, to have many provers. The old symptoms that are aggravated, or that disappear while proving, should be noted. Symptoms that occur long afterwards should also be recorded. It is not advisable to prove a fresh drug sooner than six weeks after the effects of the former are gone. Experiments on living plants are recommended; also experiments on animals carefully made. Hahnemann's recommendation to observe the symptoms produced by a medicine on the sick is approved of. Next follow some remarks in defence of the formation of a Society for proving medicines, such as this is, and a laudation of provings in general, as the only method of obtaining a knowledge of the characteristics of medicines, and of many other points in reference to the practice of homoeopathy. We earnestly hope that great advantage to homoeopathy will follow from the labours of these two Societies, which have commenced on either side of the Atlantic under such excellent auspices. The German Society has already begun its labours, and we believe that the members of the Trans- atlantic Union are engaged on the proving of ferrum metallicum. With these two brilliant examples before them, we trust that our British colleagues will not be behindhand in adding to the treasury of our patho- genetic knowledge. The field is vast, and notwithstanding all the labours of Hahnemann and his followers is still but imperfectly cultivated. The more labourers there can be found to lend a helping hand, the sooner will be the harvest. The greater the fruits of pathogenetic knowledge we possess the more successfully shall we be able to cope with disease^ which is the sole end and aim of the medical art, the sole and glorious mission of the physician. The Homoeopathic Times, The weekly homoeopathic journal bearing this name ceased to be pub- lished on the 4th of last March, after an existence of four aud a half years. At the same time we are informed that a journal having the same name, but monthly and under a different editorship, will shortly be commenced. When first informed of the projected issue of a weekly journal, we remember our impression was, that though there was a demand for a monthly journal, our body was as yet too small to di6 Miscellaneous, fiopport a weekly journal, and therefore it wonld have to appeal to the non-mcdical public for support — a kind of support which has always proved very precarious, and very injurious in its services to the profes- sion. So it has proved in this instance. Nevertheless the Homceopathie Times has done us good service, and contributed much to the spread of the knowledge of Homoeopathy among the public. We have always welcomed it cordially, and endeavoured to co-operate with it as much as our quite different spheres would allow : it was therefore with extreme amazement that in the very last number an article was pointed out to us written in terms of acrimony and great hostility to us. It was chiefly surprising as there had not been any warning in any previous number, and we thought we were each serving our common cause in our different ways amicably. For a few numbers indeed there were some indications of an angry spirit evinced, by an attempt to fiftsten upon us a connection with the ridiculous medley called by Dr. Rapou '' Specificism,'' a monstrosity with which no one who had ever perused our Journal would give us the credit of having the slightest sympathy. But still we could not anticipate such positive hostility, and are as yet quite at a loss to comprehend what could have excited it, as the article does not contain any specific charge, but only vague grumblings and expressions of dissatisfaction that we did not furnish better papers. We regret the circumstance also, but can only assure our angry critics that we did our best, and certainly did not reject any better than those published. The sudden and apparently unprovoked attack upon us reminds us of the Arabian Night's story of the poor fisherman who was innocently cracking his nuts and throwing the shells hither and thither, when sud- denly a terrible genius starts up and demands his life, for he had killed his son by a nutshell falling into his eye. We trust we have not unwittingly offended by bitting in the eye any invisible son of a genius. Seriously, however, we must tell our grumbling critics who seem to felicitate themselves on the prospect of continued strife in the projected monthly journal with the name o^ Homoeopathic Times, that we know our duty too well and have too high an appreciation of it to be led away into petty squabbles about the mint and cummin with any medical co-labourer in the same field. There is work enough and to spare for all of us. We The Homoeopathic College of Pennsylvania. 347 are bat a small company — in tbis kingdom only 1 to 100, fiurrounded by bitter and powerful enemies, to wbom the greatest differences among homoeopathists are but as dust in the balance compared with our common differences with those who include us all in one common ban. We shall therefore we hope never weaken our forces by contending with any of our own body, unless, which we hope will never be the case, anything de- rogatory to the profession in general, or opposed to the fundamental principles of Hahnemann should call for remark or rebuke. We hope therefore that the new monthly, if it should appear, will take its place beside the useful and respectable monthly defenders of our system, and that we shall contend with each other only in the amicable strife of who shall advance most the progress and development of the principles of our common master. Our journal shall continue to be emphatically an open book, in which all are free to record their opinions and peruse those of others in matters still doubtful, and we shall as heretofore be responsible for nothing ex- cept the editorial matter that bears the name of no one — not even for editor's papers with their own name. TJie Homceopathic College of Pennsylvania, Some years back, when as yet there was no talk of medical reform or registration bills, it was suggested to the College above named, that in order to avoid the risk of giving their degress to unqualified persons applying to them from this country, it would be desirable that they should appoint an examining board here, for the purpose of ascertaining the qualifi- cations of candidates ambitious of a degree from their College. In a letter dated the 23rd of last December, Dr. Williamson, the secretary of the Col- lege, informs us that the faculty and board of managers of the College have deemed it expedient to attend to the suggestion made to them, as they have constant applications for their degree from our country, and have no means of ascertaining the fitness of the candidates. In order to carry out their views, they have framed a set of laws for the regulation and guidance of the board of examiners, and they have requested the gentlemen named below to constitute themselves into such a board. The following is the document containing the laws and constitutions of this proposed board. Rules for the Government of the Board op Censors of the Homceopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania in Great Britain. 1. The board of censors shall consist of seven members, namely, Robert Ellis Dudgeon, M.D., of London ; John J. Drysdale, M.D., of Liverpool ; John Rutherfurd Russell, M.D., of Leamington ; Joseph Laurie, M-.D., of 348 MUeellaneowt. London ; James Matthew Chapman, M.D., of London ; Francis Black, M.D., of Clifton ; and Henry R. Madden, M.D., of Brighton. Each of whom shall represent one of the seven professorships of the college, to wit : 1, materia medica and therapeutics ; 2, homoeopathic institates, pathology, and the practice of medicine ; 8 obstetrics, and the diseases of women and children ; 4, physiology, and medical jurispmdence ; 5, che- mistry and toxicology ; 6, sorgery ; 7, anatomy. 2. The board shall have authority to elect their own officers, make their own selection of representatives for the several professorships, establish the order for the eicamination of candidates, and hold meetings for the purpose of arranging and conducting the business appertaining to their appointment generally. 3. The board shall hold examinations of suitable candidates for the degree of the college in the month of January of each year, and shall transmit to the faculty a full report of their proceedings previous to the first day of February next thereafter. 4. Before any candidate shall be entitled to an examination, he shall exhibit to the chairman of the board satisfactory evidence that he has com- plied with the curriculum of studies usually adopted by the medical col- leges of Great Britain, as to the term of pupilage, attendance on lectures, &c. ; and shall have deposited with the chairman one hundred dollars, to be disposed of as hereinafter mentioned. 5. Each candidate shall, at least ten days before the time fixed for his examination, deliver to the chairman a thesis, composed and written by himself, on some medical topic, which may be referred to a member of the board for examination. 6. The examinations shall be conducted in private, and each member of the board shall examine upon the branch represented by himself, so that all the branches taught in college may receive their due share of attention. 7. The voting in the case of every candidate shall be by ballot, and at least five affirmative votes shall be necessary to an election. 8. The board shall transmit to the faculty (at the time of making their annual report, see rule 3,) the name and thesis of each passed candidate, with a certificate of his election, and the amount of fees due to the college, as follows : $ 5.00 matriculation fee ; $30.00 fee for third course students ; and $30.00 graduation fee. 9. For the examination of every candidate each member of the board of censors shall receive the sum of five dollars. 10. In case of the rejection of a candidate, the board shall return him the amount of fees charged by the college— $65.00. 11. Alterations of the above regulations may be made by the board of censors, with the consent of the board of managers of the college. 12. The board of censors shall have authority to make such further by- laws for their own government as may be found necessary, provided they be not inconsistent with the charter and by-laws of the Homoeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania. Hahnemann and Castor Oil. ^ 349 The gentlemen named in the above dooament are highly sensible of the honour thus proposed to be conferred on them by the College ; but they have thought it best for the present to decline constituting themselves into the proposed board of censors, because there are at this moment no less than three bills already, or about to be, brought into our parliament for the purpose of reforming and regulating the practice of medicine in this country. Two of these bills are before us, ^nd if either of them should pass into law it will have the effect of rendering foreign degrees and diplomas illegal ; that is to say, those possessing such degrees or diplomas will not thereby obtain any legal right to practise, and will be liable to fine or imprisonment if they should presume to practise with such a quali- fication. Under these circumstances, and pending legislation on the sub- ject, it would be imprudent to carry out the views of the Pennsylvania College, unless it shall be finally settled by law whether such degrees as the College can bestow shall be recognised as legal, or the reverse. In the event of either bill passing into law as it stands, the possession of a foreign degree in place of being a benefit to the holder, would be a misfortune to him, as he would thereby be rendered liable to the most annoying per- secution. Should, however, the legislature determine to leave matters as they at present stand, or to modify their bill so as to make foreign degrees and diplomas legal, then we think that the board proposed by the Homoeo- pathic College of Pennsylvania would be an excellent institution ; but at the same time we think the degrees bestowed on homoeopathists in this country should be limited to cases like those of Dr. Pope, Dr. Blake, and Mr. Brady, where the degree or diploma fairly earned by study and examination, has been unjustly refused in consequence of the homceopathlc belief of the candidate. To those who can obtain a British degree, and more especially to those who have not gone through the curriculum of study required by our licensing boards, we Bre of opinion that the College of Pennsylvania should not consent to be made a royal road for obtaining a title which has not been meiited. We think that until the legality of foreign diplomas is settled one way or another, it would be as well that the American Homoeopathic Colleges should not bestow their degrees on Englishmen, as, if the decision of par- liament should be against their legality, the recipients of American degrees may find themselves in an awkward position. , Hahnemann and Cantor Oil.

Radioactive seed localization in breast cancer treatment.
Breast cancer screening, improved imaging and neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) have led to increased numbers of non-palpable tumours suitable for breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Accurate tumour localization is essential to achieve a complete resection in these patients. This study evaluated the role of radioactive seed localization (RSL) in improving breast- and axilla-conserving surgery in patients with breast cancer with or without NST. Patients who underwent RSL between 2007 and 2014 were included. Learning curves were analysed by the rates of minimally involved (in situ/invasive tumour cells on a length of 0-4 mm on ink) and positive resection margins (over 4 mm on ink) after BCS, and the median resection volume over time. A total of 367 patients with in situ carcinomas and 199 with non-palpable invasive breast cancer underwent RSL before primary surgery. A further 697 patients had RSL before NST, of whom 206 also underwent RSL of a histologically verified axillary lymph node metastasis. BCS was performed in 93·2 and 87·9 per cent of patients undergoing primary surgery for in situ and invasive tumours respectively, and 57·5 per cent of those in the NST group. The rate of BCS with positive resection margins was low and stable over time in the three groups (9·1, 9·7 and 11·2 per cent respectively). The median resection volume decreased significantly with time in the invasive cancer and NST groups. In the present study of more than 1200 patients and 7 years of experience, RSL was shown to facilitate breast- and axilla-conserving surgery in a diverse patient population. There was a significant reduction in resection volume while maintaining low positive resection margin rates after BCS. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ebcc7d328650936e66d3e48caac036417736d3b78c92155e0d1a7f4268f81293'} |

Well, let's flip the question. Why is it not adequate to modify "ln" to
handle the issue of hard links? This is not without precedent since it had
to be done at one time for file systems that don't support hard links (like
Whether or not foo and Foo are the same file, I see no reason why one can't
rename it in a case-sensitive manner. I can in the Explorer. I can using
DOS commands (like MOVE). Why shouldn't I be able to keep doing this in
Cygwin? Why does the change to support hard links necessitate a change in
Cygwin where support for "mv" does not? Mind you, I'm not arguing that
the support for hard links is bad but merely that the change made to support
them may not be the best approach to getting them! Is there anyone who can
clarify that point? The rest is just opinion, which while great for
discussion, usually wears thin after a time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People in Argentina, Mexico, Egypt and China are more likely than those in the United States to say it is very important for the news media to be free from government control, a survey published on Thursday found.
The survey of 20 countries by World Public Opinion.org at the University of Maryland, found strong support worldwide for a free press and opposition to government restrictions on access to the Internet.
But in the United States, where residents believed the news media already had significant freedoms, many people did not support further protections for the press, the survey showed.
More than one out of four U.S. residents said the government should have the right to prevent the media from publishing things it thinks could be politically destabilizing. More than one in five thought the press should have fewer freedoms.
Fifty-six percent of U.S. residents said it was very important for the media to be free to publish without government control, compared to 70 percent of Argentines, 79 percent of Mexicans, 64 percent of Egyptians and 58 percent of Chinese.
In Britain, with media traditions similar to the United States, 28 percent of those surveyed said the government should have the right to prevent publication of things it thinks will be politically destabilizing.
But only 15 percent of Britons thought the press should have fewer freedoms and 65 percent said it was very important for the media to be able to publish without government controls.
Although the survey saw broad support for press freedoms worldwide, it also found people in six Muslim-majority countries and Russia strongly believe the government should have the right to restrict publication of material viewed as politically destabilizing.
Sixty-six percent of Jordanians favored such controls, as did 59 percent in the Palestinian territories, 56 percent of Indonesians and 45 percent of Iranians. Views were sharply divided on the issue in Turkey, Egypt and Russia, with large minorities favoring restrictions.
Despite favoring limits on publishing potentially destabilizing material, however, majorities in many of the countries also favored more media freedoms in general. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '2d5955ef00e375ed24390062d321599b39b14228b6704b2620e9fd233a6d6d93'} |

Were we listening? What were we listening for?” Let’s do our best to listen, to think, and to answer these questions to the best of our knowledge. —JSA

1. Liana Silva says :
As I was out and about today, this week’s SOCK question was in the back of my mind. Two things kept on coming back to me, and I think they connect to Aaron’s question in his comment below ( The first thing that came to mind was how important it is for Latinos and Latinas to be visible *and* audible in academia. I have been in situations where I was the only person of color in a classroom–and I was the person at the front of the room. I am aware that, like Aaron, I sound a certain way when I am teaching or presenting at a conference–and I am also aware that I pay close attention to the way I sound when I am in an academic setting. But this week’s question made me think about how often Latinos and Latinas feel the pressure to either erase the accent in their speech or explain why they *don’t* have an accent. I have lost count the number of times people have said I don’t have an accent or that I don’t “sound” Puerto Rican. I used to brush off their “attempt” at a conversation with a chuckle, but in the last few years, ever since I started to think critically about sound and race, that statement weighs a lot heavier on me. And so the same way academia needs more Latinos and Latinas as faculty and as administrators, we also need to break with the idea that well-educated Latinos and Latinas sound a certain way.
The other point that I kept on thinking about today was something I hadn’t thought about in a long time, something more personal. I grew up in the countryside in Puerto Rico, and even though I was a smart, well spoken student, when I went away to college in the capital (San Juan) I often heard remarks from people about how I sounded. Specifically, they would say they could “tell” I was from the country (“de la isla”) because of my slang or because of a certain word choice or because of how I pronounced something. Those comments often came with a not-so-subtle hint of mockery. I became very self-conscious about my speech and internalized to a certain extent the sonic discourse about class but also race. (It’s never just about class in Puerto Rico…) So, going back to Aaron’s question, passing for me, as a first-generation college student who moved to the city from the country, was directly related to sound: I had to learn how to sound a certain way in order to make sure that I was heard by not just my peers but also my professors…
• Robin James (@doctaj) says :
Liana & Aaron, your posts have me thinking about how, now that I’m explicitly in the South, I audibly slide around within whiteness. It’s not something I do in Chicago (where my partner’s family live, and where I went to school), and it’s something I rarely do in Cincinnati (where I learned it–the on-the-border-ness of the Nati means that some white ppl talk with mainly Appalachian drawls, and some are more neutral, and this can but doesn’t perfectly or necessarily map on to class..Everyone but my nuclear family lived in Kentucky, so I grew up with both sorts of models/influences), but I often do it in Charlotte.
I think I use sonic class-inflected whiteness to deal with gender and misogyny (obv bc of white supremacy I don’t have to use it to deal w racism). I don’t really “look” like a tenured philosophy professor, and pretty much anywhere I’m not on campus, telling people what I do leads to a lot of incredulity. So, perfoming my drawl can be a way to moderate anxieties/cognitive dissonance. Or, if I’m at a traditionally gendered situation, performing my drawl reaffirms my femininity whereas speaking like I”m from the proper Midwest butches me up a bit.
Huh, I hand’t consciously reflected on that. I’ll have to think more about it.
• Aaron Trammell says :
Thanks for sharing, Liana! Your story makes me think even more that there is something going on at the intersections of race and class with the sounds of our voices. I wonder if our voices code primarily our social class and background which is then decoded as race by listeners?
On a separate level, I bring up the NJ thing, because in a more comical way (but no less discriminatory), I get “you don’t sound like you’re from Jersey” all the time. Fortunately though, Jersey is only really the object of discrimination in South Park, Colorado, so it’s cool to laugh that one off 😉
2. Robin James (@doctaj) says :
In my Philosophy of Music class last month we were talking about the possible disjunction between affect & implicit understanding when non-white identities or cultural practices are appropriated by whites. Affect would be the _feeling_ associated with a musical/sonic practice, implict understanding would be the bodily, haptic, pre/non-conscious knowledge that the affect embodies. Affects are more fungible than implicit knowledges are; we were thinking the latter are more strongly connected to specific historical/cultural contexts. For example, a white rapper could use black American English dialectal tropes, and perform the affects without necessarily having much/any sense of the implicit understanding that goes along with them.
“Race” can be a lot of things and work a lot of ways, but if you follow Linda Martin Alcoff’s account of race as an “interpretive horizon” or, in my terms, a horizon of implicit understanding, then this sort of cultural appropriation could be seen as a kind of assimilation or cultural violence or deracination, maybe.
But then how does one listen so that one can hear affect but not hear the implicit knowledge that goes with it? You’d think that you’d have to also have the contextual understanding embedded in those implicit knowledges to “get” the affective practices. What would a sonic epistemology of ignorance be? How would it work?
3. Aaron Trammell says :
Listening is a funny thing. It always has an alibi. Try to pin a particular set of ideological nuances on a friends listening practices, and they will likely attempt to dissuade you of them. This isn’t to say that the ideology isn’t there, but it is to say that it may not be the sort of thing that is articulated by the listener.
Once again, this Klatsch puts me in a strange place, as I don’t want to generalize past the my own experience. So I’ll just say one thing, and I’ll make it personal. As someone who identifies as both white and black, and also experiences the phenomenon of “passing” fairly frequently (for anything, really, it depends on the crowd I show up with), I feel that my voice is used, almost as a rule, as a means to determine who I am.
I’m an academic, right? I throw GRE words around like money. And even though I speak with a New Jersey accent, I don’t pronounce “coffee,” “cAWfee.” My point is that through the act of speech I sound more-or-less “upper middle class,” and what tends to be heard as “white.”
I’m almost certain that this is what prompts people to code me as “white,” when I open my mouth to place an order, ask for directions, or introduce myself to a colleague. This is an example of the “sonic color-line” that Jennifer mentioned in this Klatsch, but I want to raise one additional question in this thread: I guess I’m wondering, for better or worse, does anyone else have a similar experience?

Race and listening is a subject I think and write on daily–and I believe each have a PROFOUND impact on the other. In fact, I have come to believe that sound is a primary way in which race operates in the U.S. and that we are socialized to understand race (both our own and that of others) through a “sonic color-line” that is conditioned and enforced, by the listening ear of white expectations, norms, and ideas about respectability, as Regina’s post has so deftly amplified this week.
As I am fairly sure George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys know, one of the many impacts of the Othering of Rachel Jeantel and Trayvon Martin (sonic and otherwise) has been to heighten the image of George Zimmerman as rights-bearing American citizen who acted in his own self interests and in the interests of the law (there being a naturalized affinity there for white men). While we have, importantly, parsed out and attempted to understand on a very deep level the gendered/classed “blackness” of Jeantel and Martin–and how it is heard and constructed on a sonic level– I also think it would do us well to think about the patriarchal “whiteness” of Zimmerman and the way it can be heard in court and on the 911 call.
Since being unable to escape listening to those tapes last February–one of the ways in which race impacts listening is that the American news media feels it can play the sound of a black teenager dying as a ratings-gathering sound effect–I have been struck repeatedly and very deeply by the tone of Zimmerman’s voice: the calmness, the certainty, the conspiratorial quality (as if the 911 operator were a co-worker), not to mention the coldness in his voice when describing Trayvon. When George Zimmerman, called that 911 operator, he expected to be heard, believed, and supported–NO MATTER WHAT–and that he was justified in any and all of his actions based solely on whom he perceived Trayvon to be (and where he perceived him to “belong”). The grain of his voice betrays this certainty, this authority, this centrality–and reveals the sonic constructions and codes of whiteness–its powers and its membership privileges–particularly its immediate lived connection to American citizenship.
The speaking attitude of Zimmerman finds its analogue in the listening attitude of Michael Dunn, the man who killed the 17 year old Jordan Davis at a Florida gas station just 125 miles and 9 months away from Zimmerman’s murder of Martin. Like Zimmerman’s self-policing of the Sanford, Fl neighborhood, Dunn took it upon himself to police the soundscape of a gas station in Jacksonville. Thinking the music emanating from a jeep driven by a black teenager and his friends “too loud,” he decided it was his right and his duty to demand that the young men turn their radio down or off. Never mind that a gas station is a quasi-public space where people of all kinds listening to musics of all sorts pass by each other in moments–or that gas stations often pump their own music loudly into the air–it was Dunn who felt that he understood, represented, and embodied the “normal standards” of sound in public space and that the gas station’s shared soundscape should be tuned to his listening ear’s expectations and desires (in regards to musical genre and volume). And Dunn understood it to be his right to act on these perceptions and enforce these sonic boundaries–as both a white man and an assumed representative of the “public” interest–walking over to the young men, demanding they turn their music down (rather than leaving or tolerating the music until the young men left). It was undoubtedly his belief that he would be listened to and believed NO MATTER WHAT that contributed to his murder of Davis, who sat unarmed in the back seat of the teen’s jeep, and Dunn’s claim of “self defense” in a situation that was entirely of his own making. In both of these cases, sound and listening are not only key to understanding racial identity, but they actively construct it and shape ideas about which types of bodies belong in which spaces (and why).
The fact that there has been little attention paid to the problematic sonics of Zimmerman and Dunn–and so much to Trayvon’s suffering, Jeantel’s multilingual testimony, and Davis’s music–perhaps speaks the loudest about the importance of understanding how race and listening mutually impact each other.
5. Reina Prado says :
The question “what were we listening for?” is provocative especially how it plays out in the arena of justice and politics. The exchange between Rachel Jeantel and Zimmerman’s attorney implies that the “system” can only hear particular ways of speaking. The constant phrasing of “we can’t understand you” sets up how affluence racializes listening practices. I saw this again in the Frontline piece “Rape in the Fields” where the women of Evans Apple Orchard filed rape charges against one of their employees. The jury dismissed their testimonies because “they couldn’t understand them”. Them: immigrant women, laborers who are perceived to have no rights. Them: who don’t speak English that is familiar to one’s ears. Them: mujeres of another country.
Then there’s the one who doesn’t speak out. Here, I’m thinking of Justice Clarence Thomas whom we never hear on the bench. Yet, he was quite outspoken when he recently concurred with the Court’s decision to overturn Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. ( I bring up Justice Thomas because there’s an opportunity to discuss how listening informs how we hear race through particular phrases. The Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas “controversy” is really one of the few times we hear Thomas speak. When he challenged Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment he responded with ”a high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks.”( The discussion about how he harassed her created a series of phrases that became part of our lexicon and perpetuated already racialized imaginings of sexual conduct by black people. When he got confirmed to be the next Supreme Court Justice, we really haven’t heard much from him.
What are we listening for? also plays out in popular media. A recent piece posted on Slate Magazine, brings up the point about Tonto’s character’s “halted speech”. ( This is what the American public came to recognize going hand-in-hand with the “indian” character of the series Lone Ranger. Joanna Hearne, a professor of English at the University of Missouri states, “Silverheels’ Tonto didn’t have power to articulate his point of view in a way that had any eloquence with the viewing public. It didn’t reflect the eloquence of indigenous people and it certainly didn’t reflect the knowledge embedded in the language systems of indigenous people.
I’ve been thinking much about how we listen and how it informs our ways of seeing, particularly after working on a piece for SO! on a concept of “sonic brownface”. The Zimmerman case makes more prominent that questions of gender and class are also at play on how we hear as well.

Q:
Can iron-rich food cause an overdose?
Daily Value (DV) for iron for adults and children age 4 and older is 18 mg (Office of Dietary Supplements, NIH.gov). Can iron-rich foods cause an overdose of iron, if 150 % daily value (27 mg) is consumed in one day?
Like, let's say (theoretically):
Someone ate 3 1/2 boxes of cereal (12 cups/ box), in one day. Iron daily value is listed as 45% (8.1 mg) per 1 1/2 cup. What would happen?
or
Someone ate 9 leaves of kale (assuming that that's 1.5 lbs. or ~680 grams of kale), which contain 10 mg of iron in total, which is 55% Daily Value. What would happen?
I found similar questions online, but I'm wondering about an acute situation, and not supplements, but just food that contains iron (for example, kale).
A:
The consumption of food that contains 150% Daily Value or 27 mg of iron only once by a healthy person should not result in any side effects.
This is because Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects) for iron for individuals age 0-13 is 40 mg and for those age 14 or older is 45 mg (Office of Dietary Supplements, NIH.gov).
Is acute iron overdose from food (not supplements) in healthy adults possible?
Not likely. According to Office of Dietary Supplements, NIH.gov:
Adults with normal intestinal function have very little risk of iron
overload from dietary sources of iron.
and
acute intakes of more than 20 mg/kg iron from supplements or medicines
can lead to gastric upset, constipation, nausea, abdominal pain,
vomiting, and faintness.
For a 70 kg man, this is 1,400 mg of iron, which is virtually impossible to get from foods even highest in iron.
What happens with iron consumed in excess of the body needs?
Most of the excessive iron probably won't be absorbed (AJCN):
If an individual requires more iron, more iron will be mobilized from
body iron stores and there will be an increase in intestinal iron
absorption. However, if the body is iron replete, these processes will
be downregulated.
According to vivo.colostate.edu:
Iron abundance states: iron within the enterocyte [intestinal lining
cell] is trapped by incorporation into ferritin and hence, not
transported into blood. When the enterocyte dies and is shed, this
iron is lost.
Would a single ingestion of 150% Daily Value of iron be harmful for a person with hemochromatosis?
Not likely. According to the article The myths and realities of hemochromatosis
(Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology):
Although dietary iron is the source of excess iron in hemochromatosis,
a decrease in dietary iron has not been shown to decrease iron stores
in hemochromatosis.

Merthyr Tydfil, Merthyr Tydfil. Its name is explained by a legend that takes Merthyr, as it is generally called, back in time to the emergence of Wales as a national entity from the last days of the Roman world. For Tudful, they say, was a British princess, daughter of the Lord of Brycheiniog (Brecon), the Brychein after whom his province was named and “grandson” of the Cunedda who marched from the North to hold the centre of both Wales and England with the state of Powys. She was a Christian, and she was martyred for her faith. Martyrdom and faith have occupied a large place in the history of the town.
It played its part in the wars that resisted the Norman penetration from the southern coastline along the deep valleys descending from the Ellennith; 2 miles away on Morlais hill, a Norman castle that was never finished makes its ruins a monument to those times. But Merthyr has been shaped by a different kind of history. It is a county and parliamentary borough, set in the valley of the Taff rather below the junction of its two major tributaries, the Taf Fechan and the Taf Fawr. Southwards from Merthyr once stretched the mighty coalfield, but, although the town owed much to its association with the coal industry, its own former greatness was due to ironstone deposits and to iron-working.
When the Industrial Revolution first launched itself into an expanding world, large ironworks were built to exploit Merthyr's natural resources to the full. They were built at Dowlais, Cyfarthfa, and Penydarren; Merthyr grew to be the greatest iron and steel manufacturer in the world, linked by rail and canal with Cardiff. In 1811, Daniel Paterson's Direct and Principal Cross Roads takes care to emphasize this point, and it adds the remarkable fact that a regular post was established between the two places, operating five days in the week. The Dowlais works were laid down in 1759, and had the distinction of being the place where the chemical and engineering innovations introduced by Josiah Guest were followed by Bessemer steel-rail rolling in 1856. The Cyfarthfa works were founded in 1765 by Bacon, managed after 1794 by Crawshay, and became steel-foundries in 1883.

How do you know what you know? What does ‘know’ even mean? What does ‘mean’ mean? What?
You’re just a material composite of chemical reactions or physical interactions, or biological processes, or a figment of Descartes’ imagination.
How does your mind understand the words you just read? Can anyone understand anything? Let’s look at a thousand cases of very localised brain-damage to understand how the undamaged brain works.
There are no moral phenomena, only moral interpretation of phenomena…but that depends on how you define “moral”.
Look, let’s just agree that philosophy is the process of testing the logic and internal coherence of all the sh!t people say. Put your brain through a sieve, and you’ll know at least that your brain is 100% sievable.
Why would you want to sieve your brain? Because maybe all you have is a sieve…and a brain…and a whole lot of time on your hands.
(And you love the idea of being intellectually superior to others and the university used to be an awesome place to live and work).
All that matters is reasons. Reasons. No thought, claim or idea is off limits, so long as its supported. Nothing is unacceptable bar the insupportable.
Support = reasons….reasons other people can follow.
Reasons other people can follow = Te
That’s not perfect, it’ll never be perfect, because philosophy is just a game for intellectuals who enjoy arguing for their competing imperfect attempts to square the circle.
Philosophy doesn’t take into account fundamental differences in temperament because that would totally **** with the game.
What if you prefer theory A over theory B, not because A is more logical or well-supported than B, but because it suits your temperament better?
“The history of philosophy is, to a great extent, that of a certain clash of human temperaments…Of whatever temperament a philosopher is, he tries, when philosophizing, to sink the fact of his temperament…
Yet his temperament really gives him a stronger bias than any of his more strictly objective premises…He trusts his temperament. Wanting a universe that suits it, he believes in any representation of the universe that suits it…
Yet in the forum he can make no claim, on bare ground of his temperament, to superior discernment or authority. There arises thus a certain insincerity in our philosophic discussions; the potentest of all our premises is never mentioned.”
Object to it if you like, but philosophers don’t really agree on anything anyway.
Arriving at consensus is not the most important thing in philosophy. The most important thing in philosophy – as with any hobby – is having the time and resources to pursue it.
Subjective feeling is the ultimate insupportable claim
This education in philosophy compounded upbringing and added the academic standard of “unsupported truth-claims are worse than useless” to the privately ingrained ethos “your feelings don’t matter”.
And I’ve spent the best part of twenty years excluding Fi as much as possible from my decision-making, imagining, and disposition.
I’ve bricked up this living, dynamic, changeable, flowing object and tried to contain it in a cold, hard, unchanging environment.
Water, treasure, and dreams of spiders
I had an iconic dream many years ago in which I was diving for treasure (gold coins) in a shallow pool.
But I dug too deep and out of the depths arose a menacing black spider.
That spider has been a recurring theme in dreams ever since.
But I finally understand it: the search for treasure beneath the water (unconscious) is the lure of Te, my inferior function, and the promise of its mysterious wisdom and knowledge (the treasure).
The spider is the awful feeling that comes with suppressing or disrupting Fi, my dominant function.
The resolution doesn’t come with escaping the spider, killing it, or making it go away. The resolution comes with embracing Fi, the contemptible “baseless opinion” or “insupportable feeling”. It comes with giving up the illusory treasure beneath the water, the false promise of objective reasoning that proved pointless and wearying and endlessly bleak.
For an INFP, Fi is freedom. We aren’t meant to be rational analysts, dispassionate observers or efficient, responsible organisers.
We’re meant to be wanderers, poets, hippies, shamans, all the disgustingly unconstrained and freely-feeling tropes I’ve recoiled from in scorn because they have no power or standing in a Te world.
But that’s the whole point: this isn’t a Te world. This is my world, and it’s a world of Feeling.
Te belongs, but it belongs at the bottom, at the end, an afterthought a finishing touch, an ability but not an obligation. A capacity, but only a small one.
Lately I’ve been thinking about and discussing the two basic types of choleric. I’ve also been watching a lot of Kung Fu Panda with my son. So let’s use the villains of Kung Fu Panda to explore the two types of choleric and how they function!
The villain of KFP1 is Tai Lung, an orphan snow-leopard adopted and trained by Master Shifu in the Jade Palace, who so excels at martial arts that he and his teacher both assume Tai Lung will become the Dragon Warrior.
But when Grand Master Oogway decides Tai Lung is not Dragon Warrior material, Tai Lung is outraged. He goes on a rampage and is eventually defeated by Oogway and imprisoned.
In simple temperament terms, Tai Lung is clearly choleric. He is proud, ambitious, confident, angry and vengeful against those who have wronged him.
He pursues his revenge with the determination and focus of a choleric, having already displayed extraordinary patience, biding his time until the opportunity to escape presents itself.
Having escaped, he immediately returns to his goal of obtaining the Dragon Scroll, convinced that he is – or deserves to be – the Dragon Warrior.
Lord Shen
Lord Shen, the villain of KFP2, is the scion of a family of peacocks who ruled Gongmen City and brought joy to the people through their mastery of fireworks.
When Shen begins experimenting with fireworks as a potential weapon, his parents consult a soothsayer who warns that if Shen doesn’t alter his course, he will be defeated by “a warrior of black and white”.
Interpreting the prophecy, Shen takes his army to wipe out all the pandas in China and thereby avoid his fate. On his triumphant return Shen’s parents are horrified and banish him.
Like Tai Lung, Shen is proud, ambitious, confident, angry and vengeful. He bides his time while further developing his explosive new weapons and awaits the opportunity to exact revenge (symbolically) against his now deceased parents, returning to his ancestral home before setting out to conquer all of China.
Using MBTI to unpack temperament
The similarities between Shen and Tai Lung as cholerics are obvious. Of course they are also villains, which makes the comparison very direct.
Disclaimer: Not all villains are choleric and of course not all cholerics are villains. But cholerics have qualities that lend them to being either great heroes or great villains….great anything, potentially.
But there are specific areas of difference between Tai Lung and Shen that can be observed in real-world cholerics too.
Power in oneself vs power over others
One of the most fundamental distinctions between cholerics is the nature of their ambition, which directly relates to their underlying skills or cognitive functions in an MBTI context.
Tai Lung is a skilled warrior. He is very nearly the most skilled warrior in the world of KFP1, which is the foundation of his pride and also the means by which he pursues his ambition to be recognised as the Dragon Warrior.
In MBTI terms, Tai Lung has introverted intuition (Ni).
Like all the cognitive functions, it’s hard to understand Ni if you don’t have it. As a non-Ni user, the best I can grasp is that Ni-users intuitively know how to do things.
Intuition is simply unconscious mental processing. The difference between Ni and Ne (extroverted intuition) is that Ne unconsciously processes information and patterns about the external world, while Ni unconsciously processes the user’s own actions, skills, and “how to do things”.
Strong Ni users seem to have a knack or talent in at least one area, sometimes many. They know how to dress well and present well. They take to hobbies and skills with instinctive sureness.
They might not be able to explain to others how they know, because the processing is unconscious, but in art, music, sports, or martial arts, their skill is evident.
For an Ni choleric (INTJ or ENTJ) ambition is channeled through this innate facility.
Hence Tai Lung’s pride and ambition are all about his own excellence, being the best. In his own mind he is the Dragon Warrior, and therefore deserves the Scroll that promises to further enhance his already superlative skill.
Non-villainous cholerics with Ni might describe their ambition in terms of being the best they can be, or wanting to compete with themselves (as an INTJ friend put it).
After all, Tai Lung doesn’t want to conquer all of China, he just wants to be the best.
The kind of choleric who does want to conquer all of China
While Tai Lung is the embodiment of kung fu as an individual skill honed to near-perfection, Lord Shen will happily destroy kung fu in the pursuit of his own ambition.
Instead of the power within himself, Lord Shen cultivates power over others, beginning with his intuitive realisation that the fireworks created by his parents could be used for violence.
This detail of Shen’s origin story is a perfect clue to the kind of intuition he wields: extroverted intution (Ne).
Ne is all about patterns and connections in the external world. As an Ne-user I can fully appreciate Shen’s recognition that the explosive power of fireworks could be “repurposed”. NB: but as a melancholic the idea doesn’t appeal to me!
Shen’s power is almost totally externalised, as represented by the cannons he invented and the army of wolves and gorillas he commands. While he has kung fu skills of his own, they are clearly insufficient to achieve his true aims and ambition.
Lacking the innate talent of the Ni choleric, Lord Shen’s ambitions are not grounded in his own personal attributes. This is reflected in his willingness to destroy his own ancestral home in pursuit of something greater.
Instead of being motivated by his own innate skill, what motivates an Ne choleric like Shen is the self-evident truth that bigger is better:
Soothsayer: “Are you certain it is the panda who is a fool? You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!”Shen: “A trivial sacrifice, when all of China is my reward.”
Yet at the same time, Shen’s Ne is apparent in his respect for the Soothsayer, a fellow Ne user whom he spares in part to prove her wrong, but also in recognition of her own gifts.
As a fellow Ne user, Shen is intrigued by the Soothsayer’s predictions and insights. He sends her away only when he is confident that his own path is certain.
The weakness of cholerics
In temperament terms, an Ni choleric would be choleric with a secondary temperament of sanguine, and an Ne choleric would have a secondary temperament of phlegmatic. But that’s an “all things being equal” scenario.
In practice we can see that different cognitive functions can be exaggerated or diminished through circumstances, formation, and our own choices.
Tai Lung’s excessive ambition was fostered by Shifu, his adoptive father and teacher. Shifu encouraged Tai Lung’s desire to be the Dragon Warrior:
Tai Lung to Shifu: Who filled my head with dreams?! Who drove me to train until my bones cracked?! Who denied me my DESTINY?!?
Things get a bit subtle at this point, but I think the “filled my head with dreams” aspect would relate to Tai Lung’s introverted Feeling function (Fi) in either a tertiary or inferior position; my guess would be inferior.
Fi is all about ideals, meaning, and “dreams”. But in an inferior position, Fi is very rudimentary.
At various stages in life our inferior function is more influential, and it’s common for people to suppress their dominant function and be driven by their inferior.
In Tai Lung’s case, that would mean his dominant extroverted Thinking (Te) was suppressed, and his inferior Fi was engaged and stimulated by Shifu’s excessive encouragement.
So when Tai Lung is denied the long-expected meaning of becoming the Dragon Warrior he is enraged and goes on a pointless and destructive attack on the valley, ending in his defeat by Oogway and imprisonment.
Living under the shadow of rudimentary Fi, he actually weakens his “efficiency”, his Te, and loses everything of value.
A healthier choleric would have had a clearer sense of his own goals to begin with. He would have found a different way to excel, even if that meant spurning the Jade Palace altogether.
Ironically his loss of control showed that he had less confidence in his own abilities, because he had tied them so strongly to the specific “dream” of becoming the Dragon Warrior.
The search for meaning is his downfall not only in this first instance, but in his subsequent effort to obtain the Dragon Scroll.
The weakness of Lord Shen
As an Ne choleric, Lord Shen has extroverted Feeling (Fe) and introverted Sensing (Si) in his tertiary and inferior positions; but in which order?
There’s a case to make for either option: ENTP or INTP. Honestly, I’m not sure which is correct.
But his character flaws certainly relate to extroverted Feeling, which is all about harmony with others. For Lord Shen it was his parents’ horror and rejection following his attempted genocide of pandas that scarred him. Shen thinks his parents hated him, and is unable to reconcile their repudiation of his actions with their parental love.
But even prior to the incident, it is curious that Shen didn’t buy into the foundation of his parents’ power – the colour and joy that their fireworks brought to the lives of ordinary people. If Shen had more well-developed Fe he ought to have been more appreciative of that relationship between his parents and their subjects.
The frightening aspect of Lord Shen’s Fe is that he massacred the pandas without realising the effect this would have on his parents, and without having previously heeded their worries and fears about his attempts to weaponise fireworks.
It’s suggestive of psychopathy – not only that he would massacre the pandas but more importantly that he would fail to understand his parents response!
What went wrong with Shen?
Unlike Tai Lung, there is no indication that Lord Shen was misled, or that his head was “filled with dreams”.
What seems more likely is his parents’ failure to properly educate their son and instill in him more compassion or care for others. By the time he was willing and able to massacre all the pandas in China, it was already too late in his development.
While this indicates a failure to develop Fe, it also suggests (or rather, my brother suggested while discussing this question) an Si-related failure to fill a young Shen with formative memories that would reinforce the virtues of compassion, benevolence, and mercy.
Shen’s attempt to use his intellect (Ti and Ne) to conquer China with gunpowder is a merciless and violent recapitulation of his parents’ “conquering” Gongmen City through the joy and wonder accomplished by their fireworks.
Without an appreciation for the happiness of the people and the virtues that go along with that, Shen would see his own path as a bigger, better, and more glorious version of his own parents’ success.
Cholerics in real life
Learning about the four temperaments helped me understand myself, but it also helped me understand how and why some people act like complete a***holes when it seems like they should (and maybe do) know better.
Cholerics in general are weaker in the “feeling” functions of the MBTI. In Big 5 terms, they are more “disagreeable” than “agreeable”.
Villains with troubled origin stories aside, cholerics tend to be proud, which they might prefer to describe as being objective about their own strengths.
For Ni cholerics, their strength is the innate talent facilitated by introverted intuition, coupled with extroverted thinking (Te) that helps them be very goal-directed and efficient.
For Ne cholerics, their strength is the systematic world-modelling comprehension of introverted thinking (Ti), enabled and given full-flight by extroverted intuition.
Being strong and disagreeable is advantageous if life is a competition. But cholerics struggle when they seek to “win” at non-competitive goals or attributes such as being agreeable.
A common trope for successful cholerics (villainous or not) is to reach the pinnacle of success only to realise that they have neglected or even harmed the things they valued but did not excel at.
That’s why the choleric “solution” is essentially a softening or slowing down where it might otherwise be easier for them to fight, compete, and perhaps win. It’s for cholerics, I think, that we have the spiritual advice to embrace weakness, meekness, humility, and poverty of spirit.
I’ve gone into a lot of depth in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, albeit haphazardly as befits a P-type, right?
But lately I’ve been looking at the simpler measure of the P and the J, and what that means for how we ideally function in the world.
I’m an INFP, who has ended up sharpening his J approach to life in order to “get s*** done!”, because if I stay in P mode I’m afraid life will just blend into some kind of seamless, mysterious whole without my understanding or control.
Actually that sounds kinda nice.
My wife is a genuine J type, yet somehow we’ve ended up inverted. I’m usually in control, deciding what we’ll do and when we’ll do it, while she’s been seemingly content to follow my lead and see what happens.
Which has worked. But it’s been a lot of work, with each of us using our weaker functions to get through life.
Embrace your P-ness
Logically the answer is to revert to our genuine types. That means I should relax, accept that I’m intrinsically disorganized by worldly standards, and let my wife take up some of the slack.
Become the feckless hippie my MBTI results suggest I ought to be, (or more flattering but therefore less therapeutic, the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog…thanks INTJ!)
But it’s really hard to go against years of training and conditioning.
It’s really hard to stop J-ing, to just let go and not even write blog posts summing up the awesome insights that come to me.
And perhaps that’s because the simple P-J message is a little too simple after all.
It’s meant to tell us which of our functions is extroverted – the perceiving one, or the judging one.
But if you’re an introvert, your extroverted function will be auxiliary, subordinate to and weaker than your dominant.
So I may be a P-type, but since my dominant function is a judging function, I’m not the most P that a P could be.
Likewise, my wife is a J-type, but her dominant is a perceiving function, so she’s not the most J kind of J either.
IP types have a dominant introverted judging function, which will make them seem more like judgers (J types) than other P types.
And for IJ types vice-versa.
Typical of an INFP (apparently), these kinds of renovations of my theoretical model come easily and frequently, but they don’t change the underlying “feel” I have for what is important.
When I act or think like a J-type, I might be relying too much on my inferior Te (extroverted Thinking) function, as I previously thought, but another way of looking at the whole situation is that I have unhealthy Fi (introverted Feeling) pushing me to accomplish things.
When too many possibilities proliferate, I get tired and want to put away my MBTI toys because I sense that achieving perfect understanding will not yield proportional benefits to me.
Yet this in turn reflects an aspect of my inferior Te – taking single variables and enlarging them until they seem to account for everything. Yes! That’s the one-single mistake I make! (ironic laughter).
The good news is that for an introverted Feeler the actual thoughts don’t need to be nailed down. Despite my past attempts to find all the answers to everything and be right all the time, I don’t really need to know anything, so long as I know how I feel.
I’ve been using the MBTI functions as a way of sharpening focus on the four temperaments.
This is because pragmatically the functions allow a finer-grained analysis of the temperaments.
For example, what’s the difference between a melancholic-phlegmatic and a melancholic-sanguine?
Both are NF types. Melancholic-phlegmatics are xNFP and melancholic-sanguines are xNFJ.
This means that melancholic-phlegmatics are using extroverted intuition (Ne) and introverted feeling (Fi), whereas melancholic-sanguines are using introverted intuition (Ni) and extroverted feeling (Fe).
So in the first instance, although both are melancholic with the combination of feeling and intuition, the NeFi combo is already a more introverted way of being than the NiFe combo. Fe is externally oriented, meaning that the melancholic-sanguine makes decisions according to their sense of how others are feeling, for the sake of group harmony.
Fe types want to connect with others and maintain good relationships, whereas Fi types are more motivated by internal coherence and authenticity.
In addition to the orientation of the feeling function, the third and fourth functions of either type also play a role in describing the difference in temperament.
The significant part here is that Si and Se are the determining functions of the phlegmatic and sanguine temperaments respectively. Si gives the phlegmatic their inward, mnemonic focus. Se gives sanguines their sensory, outward, experiential focus.
That’s why these two types of melancholic can be similar, yet in other ways so distinct. What makes one melancholic partly phlegmatic is the inward orientation of their Feeling function plus their introverted sensing (Si) in third or fourth place. What makes the other melancholic more sanguine is the extroversion of their Feeling, plus the extroverted sensing (Se) in their third or fourth place.
Or is it…
But the functions are just useful, finer-grained descriptions. No one knows if they are actually different cognitive functions, and so we can ask which is the underlying reality: MBTI functions, or temperamental factors?
What I mean by temperamental factors is that the four temperaments are typically described as combinations of two factors – the clearest of which (in my opinion) are excitability and duration of impression.
Given that a melancholic has low excitability with enduring impressions, but that melancholics differ by degrees, we can ask the following interesting (but not very pragmatic) question:
Are the differing degrees of melancholic due to real differences in cognitive function, or are supposed differences in cognitive function just ways of describing varying degrees of melancholy?
In other words, are Fi and Fe different things, or are they just different degrees of the same thing?
As far as I can tell, it’s quite possible that Fi is really just a less excitable form of Feeling, and Fe a more excitable one.
But going a step further, I’m not sure that Feeling and Thinking are necessarily different things either.
It’s plausible that F and T represent less excitable and more excitable forms of the same cognitive process. In effect, F is like a blurred and impressionistic version of the sharper, detail-oriented T.
There’s a widespread perception that feelings are an untrustworthy guide.
I think this probably comes from situations where people have bucked the conventional trends and rules of life and justified it rightly or wrongly on the basis of feelings that defy scrutiny and interrogation.
“It just feels right to me!”
But the same thing happens all the time with thinking. Thinking too can be an untrustworthy and dangerous guide for many people, but in those instances we tend to label them “stupid” or “irrational” or “stubborn” rather than criticise them for thinking per se.
The truth is that there’s such a thing as good and bad feeling, just as there is good and bad thinking.
What makes either one good or bad is the degree of honesty with oneself, and the knowledge in and around the thought or feeling that guides us.
For example, if we think that vaccination is bad for us, or that raw chicken is okay to eat, then we are being guided by thoughts that are either insufficiently scrutinised or else coloured by some ulterior motive.
Similarly, our feelings can be coloured by deeper motives, or we can be mistaken in our own interpretation of them.
In accord with temperament, I think we can use either thinking or feeling to work out what we want to do. But it’s up to us to be honest with ourselves and clear about the nature of the thoughts or feelings we are following.
Perhaps the best way to put it is that both our thoughts and feelings should be genuine or authentic. In my own life I seem to get into trouble when – either thinking or feeling – my words and actions are coloured by ulterior motives of which I am not fully conscious.
Things like insecurity, escapism, avoidance and so on.
I might have a desire to say something, but what is driving that desire? Is it the genuine expression of a good feeling, or is it a shady evasion of a bad one?
The problem for INFPs is that society privileges Te and Si over Ne and especially Fi.
This means that focusing on effectiveness and outcomes (Te),
or on past experience and “what worked before” (Si)
is more rewarding than
seeing abstract connections between things (Ne),
or having a deep and mysterious nonverbal inner landscapethat tells you what you like and don’t like (Fi).
Yeah, that last one is a bit of a mouthful and I’ll have to unpack it later if possible.
So from childhood most INFPs are taught to put their tertiary and inferior functions ahead of their dominant and auxiliary.
This is problematic because our tertiary and inferior functions are generally weaker, less developed, and require more energy to use than our dominant and auxiliary. Depending too much on your tertiary and inferior functions means you’re not working with your strengths.
For the INFP it also means we’re not being authentic. We’re living according to the imposed values of Si and Te…demands we can meet, but at an awful cost.
The cost is that we feel awful.
Our dominant function of introverted feeling doesn’t go away. It keeps telling us “this is bad…this is bad…” even while we persist in letting our tertiary and inferior functions drive us.
We end up in this unfortunate state because for most of our lives we’ve been asked to justify and explain ourselves in terms that the broader society will appreciate; yet the very nature of introverted feeling is that it’s extremely difficult to describe or communicate to others.
Sometimes the best we can say is “I don’t feel like it”, which is not considered valid by many people.
So we stretch ourselves to come up with “reasons” that actually feel (to us) like excuses. But excuses are the only language some people will listen to. And if you can be reasonable enough, you can convince these people of your position.
They might disagree, but they’ll at least acknowledge that you’re playing their game. At least you’re giving them something to disagree with.
It’s a formative experience for an INFP to be relentlessly pushed for an answer, explanation, or justification, when really we were operating on feeling the whole time.
The people pushing for “reasons” aren’t necessarily bullies, they’re likely operating from a different function. They’re assuming that the INFP has clear and concise reasons for their behaviour, reasons that are easy to articulate and communicate.
So when the INFP struggles to communicate these reasons, the interrogator doesn’t understand the apparent reluctance or resistance. From the interrogator’s point of view, the INFP must be too afraid or too embarrassed or too malicious to share their reasons.
For the INFP, the interrogator’s scrutiny itself comes across as an indictment, an implicit charge that the vague, inarticulate world of introverted feeling is faulty and inadequate. The prolonged and persistent attempts to get an INFP to explain themselves just reinforce the INFP’s sense of being incomprehensible to others.
From what I’ve seen of other INFPs, I’m guessing I’ve gone pretty far down the road of training and depending on my tertiary and inferior functions.
But these tertiary and inferior functions are crippling when they exceed their station. I’ve begun to notice the many occasions in which Si and Te states of mind or impulses surface, to detrimental effect.
In my writing, these manifest as the internal pressure to arrive at decisive conclusions, explain my points exhaustively, be unassailable in the position I take, consider all possible objections, research everything to ensure I make no mistakes, and try repeatedly to communicate my meaning as effectively as possible.
None of these are bad things to aim for. But what happens so often is that my initial burst of inspiration is crushed and suffocated by the sheer burden of these demands.
I might have a meaningful idea I feel strongly about (Fi), that draws on some abstract connections or patterns I’ve noticed (Ne), but a third of the way in I’m already wondering “who cares about this? What’s the point?” (Te), or I’ve researched the issue in question and utterly derailed my train of thought by overloading it with new data (Si), or I’ve tried to adhere too closely to conventions of genre and the light-hearted piece I started with has turned into a weighty, leaden recount (Si).
There’s nothing wrong with Si and Te, but if what really drives you is Fi and Ne, then denying those functions is going to make you feel drained, worn out and depleted.
Some people say you should follow your feelings, “listen to your heart” and so on.
Others say that this is terrible advice. You need to think clearly, reasonably, objectively, before you act.
So which is it? Are your feelings an infallible inner guide, or bound to lead you astray?
Different personality types
We can find exemplars and tragic cases to illustrate either side: people who follow their feelings…and leave a trail of destruction in their wake, or those who ignore their feelings only to end up leading hollow, empty lives.
But if we take seriously a personality theory like the MBTI, it quickly becomes clear that feeling and thinking play different roles in people’s personalities.
In the MBTI feeling and thinking are distinct cognitive functions. Those who are “good at” thinking tend to be bad at feeling and vice-versa. But throughout the course of our lives we also tend to go through a process of embracing our weaker, “inferior” function, relying on it too much, and finally coming to accept its subordinate role in our personality.
So for example, a feeling-dominant person discovers the untapped potential of their inferior thinking function and embraces it. Thinking seems mysterious and powerful, but they’re not naturally adept at it and are blind to the weaknesses and flaws in their use of it.
Eventually they will come to realise the limitations of thinking, and return to their dominant feeling function.
Someone who goes through this journey may well describe it as the discovery that they should have “followed their heart” all along. That’s because denying their feelings and pursuing their weaker thinking function was essentially a self-limiting and flawed approach to life.
By the end of this journey, the individual should be more balanced and centred, and objectively happier.
Thinking-dominant
A thinking-dominant person will go through the inverse process – embracing their inferior feeling function at some point in their early life, and pursuing it beyond its natural limits in their personality.
For the thinking-dominant person, their feeling function really will lead them astray.
Eventually they too will reach a point where the limits of feeling become clear to them, and they resolve to return to their dominant thinking function.
Someone who goes through this journey may well reject the illusory wisdom of “follow your feelings”. They will reassert the merits of their thinking function. The image they project and the narrative they recount will be at odds with the feeling-dominant person, but the general shape of the journey should be analogous.
If you put these two different personalities side-by-side they will describe the same kind of process of disintegration and reintegration, of abandoning and then rediscovering their strength, but they may nonetheless still argue with each other and vehemently disagree about the role of thinking versus feeling.
Intuition and sensing
The same process should theoretically occur for people who are either intuition-dominant or sensing-dominant according to the MBTI. This dichotomy might be described as “follow your intuition” versus “stick to the facts”.
Depending what is called your “functional stack” both dichotomies will emerge throughout your life.
For example, if your functional stack is FiNeSiTe (INFP), you’ll experience a major pull toward your inferior thinking function, and an eventual return to your dominant feeling function. But at the same time you may also experience a more muted struggle to make sense of your auxiliary intuition and your tertiary sensing functions.
By contrast, an INFJ has a different functional stack: NiFeTiSe. They’ll experience a strong pull toward their inferior sensing function, distracting from or overriding their dominant intuition. At the same time they will struggle to work out the balance between their feeling and thinking functions, though on a less dramatic level than the struggle experienced by the INFP.
Who should you listen to?
The problem is that people can make compelling cases for either side in the two dichotomies…because people generally are experiencing both sides of the struggle.
If we don’t know our own personality, we can become confused about which direction we’re meant to be headed.
A feeling-dominant person struggling in ignorance to suppress their feeling function may find encouragement in the advice of thinking-dominant people who have overcome their struggle with inferior feeling.
But that would be a mistake.
The two circumstances are quite different. Feeling-dominant people will not be led astray by their feelings. Thinking-dominant people will be.
What makes these struggles even more confusing is that stress, abuse, and suffering in early life will contribute to the embrace of the inferior function as people seek out adaptive strategies to survive difficult circumstances.
So some people will find that embracing their inferior function is the only way they know how to live. You might be a feeling-dominant personality, but if you feel terrible you aren’t exactly going to revel in the rediscovery of your dominant function.
Perhaps the best we can do is to become aware of the limitations in our inferior functions. We might enjoy using them, we might even be very good at them, but they will have serious deficiencies or blind-spots, and take significantly more energy to use than the functions that ought to come more naturally.
I’ve known for a while that there’s something wrong with my posture, but it’s only in the last year that I’ve resorted to learning basic functional anatomy to troubleshoot the problems for myself.
I’ve been learning about extension and flexion of the various joints, bony landmarks, specific muscles and their antagonists, as well as common postural deficiencies like forward head posture, excessive lordosis of the lumbar spine, kyphosis of the thoracic spine, pelvic tilt, rib flare, and so on.
There are lots of variables to examine and many of them are inter-dependent. For example: I started with the issue of rounded shoulders, which is really about protraction of the scapulae. I worked on trying to fix that for a while, but with limited success. Eventually I realised I was flaring out my ribs too much, which is really an issue of excessive extension at the thoraco-lumbar spine – the middle of the spine.
To correct the rib flare requires engaging abdominal muscles to pull the ribs down, but this in turn is not feasible unless the pelvis is correctly aligned. Anterior pelvic tilt tends to weaken the abdominals and the gluteals, while shortening the lower back muscles and the hip flexors.
By the time I’d worked all this out I’d forgotten about the shoulder protraction issue, so it’s come full-circle again.
Beyond anatomy
I think there’s also a symbolic or psychological aspect to these postural issues.
Posture is directly linked to the psyche in two main ways: first, we use posture to communicate with others. Defensive and submissive postures indicate to others that we wish to avoid confrontation. Hunching or rounding the shoulders, dropping the head, collapsing the chest all communicate submission by making us appear physically smaller and weaker.
Second, bad posture feels awful. It makes us irritable and stressed, takes more energy to maintain, and discourages us from the physical exertion required to accomplish daily activities and meaningful projects.
Forward head posture
So let’s take forward head posture as an example.
There’s a simple behavioural component, in that we spend a lot of time sitting at computers or staring at mobile phones or tablets. These activities tend to encourage forward movement of the head.
But moving your head forward to stare at the computer screen isn’t necessary. Perhaps it’s a by-product of intense focus, or maybe it’s a result of the conflict between a sedentary seating position combined with active visual attention.
Even before I began looking into posture I knew I had problems with my neck. It feels incredibly stiff at times, and occasionally it would ache from the tension. Symbolically, I used to relate this tension to my analytical and overly-intellectual approach to life.
I think a lot. I think about everything, all the time. 80-90% of my waking hours involve thinking about something, and this hasn’t changed in over a decade.
I’ve tried a lot of things to let go of this excessive intellection, but I’ve never found a simple solution. The complex solution has been to keep thinking about it, or at least try to improve the efficiency of my thinking in hopes that I’d eventually find the answer.
Trying to think of a solution to excessive thinking may sound counter-intuitive. As Maslow wrote:
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
But if the only tool you have is a hammer, it’s not too outrageous to prioritise all your hammering tasks…maybe see how far hammering alone will get you.
Nonetheless, I can’t ignore the symbolism of forward head posture as a psychosomatic effort to lead with one’s head – putting one’s mind out in front.
And compared to what?
Well if I try to correct my head position, I immediately feel that my throat, chest, and whole torso are more open and exposed. That’s why dropping the head is a defensive position: better to get hit in the chin than in the throat.
If the head is associated with thinking, the chest or the heart is associated with feeling. Perhaps the symbolism of forward head posture is an attempt to use thinking, intellect, and analysis, to get out in front of feeling?
Melancholics are, after all, feeling-oriented. The effort to analyse life rather than feeling it directly is an established trope or cliche, and it makes sense that a feeling-oriented person would compromise their posture through such an effort. Feeling can be a confusing and seemingly ineffectual function. It gives long, slow answers when what we might prefer are short, convenient, and maybe conventional solutions. Feeling often points a direction with no hint as to the final destination.
We can easily blame behaviour for bad posture, and it certainly plays a role. But our psychology also makes us more susceptible to particular behaviours. Maintaining a postural deficiency takes constant effort, and trying to explain it as merely the outcome of certain behaviours like staring at a computer screen is question-begging.Why, after all, am I spending so much time happily staring at a computer screen if it is damaging my posture?
Looking at a postural problem in the broader context of one’s behaviours, psychology, and temperament can reveal symbolic relationships and even solutions.
Not that I found the solution by examining the symbolism, mind you. It’s eight to ten years since I first thought my neck trouble might be linked to my intellectual outlook, but the more I hammered away at that question, the more ingrained my intellectual efforts became.
It’s taken life experience, grudging and sometimes grueling lessons to reveal the real meaning and importance of feeling in my life, and how this mysterious function is to be embraced.
So now my old speculations about the symbolism of posture have come to mind, more like a memory or a realisation than a solution. The solution has happened on a deeper level, and now the recognition of it comes like an afterword, tying up loose ends when the real story is done.
I’ve often been told I think too much, but it has – with no sense of irony – taken years of thinking for me understand what this means.
I would have said that in fact I do not think enough, and I continue thinking precisely because I have not yet arrived at the answers I seek.
Recently I have been thinking about the difference between training and performance, specifically in a martial arts context. My natural tendency upon encountering failure or less-than-ideal circumstances is to think about it. I think because experience has shown that thinking often helps me to understand, and that understanding helps me to do, and to do better than I would if I didn’t understand.
But there are exceptions, and martial arts is one of them. Because, if instead of ‘performing’ the moves I go back to thinking about them and analysing them, the actual quality of the move changes dramatically. It turns out you cannot both perform a move and analyse a move at the same time. Then the question arises: what are you actually practicing when you practice your martial art? Are you practicing ‘performing’ or doing the moves, or are you practicing thinking about and analysing the moves?
By analogy, it’s as though I’ve found driving a car to be uncomfortable, confusing, and overall dissatisfying, and so I’ve resolved to stay on my learner’s permit for as long as it takes for me to “work it out”. Sixteen years later, my instructor is thoroughly sick of me, and I’ve finally had to admit that there aren’t really any secrets or revelations to acquire from the learner’s stage, and that I will only ever be good at driving normally if I practice driving normally.
This has particular relevance in martial arts where various luminaries have extolled having a beginner’s mind a la Zen Buddhism, and others have admitted amidst the heights of their skill to be nonetheless always learning.
We obviously aren’t talking about the same thing.
I don’t really know what to make of having spent so long in a flawed approach to practicing a martial art. And paradoxically I still have to credit analysis and “thinking” with having brought me to these realisations. The best I can say is that previously I was thinking about the wrong things. Or I lacked information that I could only come across via the frustration built up through years of dissatisfying practice.
It took years of failure to break through the assumption that kung fu is somehow not dependent first and foremost on a sound physique, or that being bad at sport generally would have nothing to do with being bad at a martial art. Or that the esoteric allure of kung fu might be glossing over a number of more mundane requirements.
Ironically, if I had seriously thought about kung fu in the way that I have learned to think about philosophy, ethics, and other subjects, I would have known to start without assumptions, without desired outcomes. I would have been highly suspicious of the wishful thinking at the heart of my motivation. At the same time, being more detached from the object of my desire might have left me more open to improvements and inspiration “out of left field”. Instead, my doggedness to pursue this long-standing ideal has been thoroughly detrimental to my development.
All I can say in favour of it is that I have persevered for a long time; but paradoxically, if I had not stuck to this unexamined ideal for so long I might not have needed to be so blindly perseverant.
Craving or desire warps the intellect. We tend to cling to our cravings and desires because they feel so deeply a part of us. But there is always something deeper and more wholesome that is not dependent on external conditions, and if I had been more honest with myself I would have recognised that the very appeal of esoteric martial arts was in fact a symptom of a deeper and more constant awareness that I was not physically strong, balanced, or at ease.
Sertillanges writes in The Intellectual Life:
Do you want to do intellectual work? Begin by creating within you a zone of silence, a habit of recollection, a will to renunciation and detachment which puts you entirely at the disposal of the work; acquire that state of soul unburdened by desire and self-will which is the state of grace of the intellectual worker. Without that you will do nothing, at least nothing worthwhile.
I am familiar with this “zone of silence”, and it is the natural answer to the problem of “thinking too much” and thinking not enough. It is not thinking that matters or that gives answers; we do not arrive at truth by thinking about it, rather thinking is merely a manifestation of the work of attending to the truth in its entirety and without holding anything back.
This is our noble and excellent calling, and it is only in stupidity and vanity that I have failed to turn it to other areas of my life, somehow imagining that truth has no bearing on the mundane or strictly personal, perhaps afraid of what I might find when turning that brightest of lights onto the mess and darkness of my own orbit; or intimidated by the magnitude of the task ahead, bringing my own admittedly pathetic self into the same domain as exalted abstractions, principles and truths.
It’s one thing to know truth, quite another to know that you do not measure up to it, or how far you fall short; better not to ask that question, isn’t it?
Indeed, the prospect of bringing my own deeply held desires and ideals, the very personal themes with which I identify, and submitting them to this “zone of silence” is immediately terrifying. And that, more than anything, indicates that I should do it.
In the literature on temperaments I’ve read that melancholics seem to be less coordinated, less ‘at home’ in their bodies, and more prone to illness and minor ailments.
Even before I came across the temperament theory, I’d concluded that as someone who thinks a great deal, spending so much time “in my head” upsets things like balance, coordination, proprioception, and my awareness of minor aches and pains, tension, thirst, and bad posture.
It’s no exaggeration to say that I spend nearly every waking moment thinking. And while I’ve tried various methods to ‘quiet’ my mind in line with generic meditation advice, I think that such advice is not necessarily appropriate for a melancholic idealist philosopher.
After all, I’m not just thinking about what I’m going to have for dinner. My mind is inquiring, analysing, speculating, and critiquing. My mind composes speeches, stories, articles and even conversations; it welcomes inspiring new ideas and elaborates on intriguing problems and dilemmas. It’s always working, and while it can be exhausting, I feel I’ve found the right kinds of creative directions for this mental energy.
So while I used to think this constant thinking was excessive and needed to be shut down, I now see it as a skill and a creative process that needed to be trained, disciplined, and given appropriate work to do.
Nonetheless, there are times when being so ‘head-centred’ becomes too much, and I’ve found over the years that it’s possible to shift the focus away from thoughts and towards other aspects of embodied awareness, such as the aforementioned proprioception, breathing, or just the feel of my feet on the floor. But more important is the sense of dimming the focus on my thoughts, of deciding that my thoughts are not important for the time being, and I won’t miss anything by letting go of them for a while.
We talk about lowering our centre of gravity, but this is more like lowering the centre of awareness. As strange as it sounds, it has an immediate impact on perception, making everything around me seem a little more real and substantial. It’s as though being focused on one’s thoughts and dwelling in abstraction leaves the world feeling somewhat unreal.
The world of thoughts is a valuable one, but this conflict between thinking and being troubles me. It leaves me wondering what a true balance would look like; am I really overdoing the thinking, and is it undermining my health in ways of which I am oblivious? If you’ve ever had the experience of getting up from a computer desk after hours craning over a keyboard, you’ll understand that we can easily lose touch with bodily discomfort when engrossed in mental activity. How much more so if we spend most of each waking day lost in thought?
That’s a telling idiom after all: no one ever claims to find themselves in thought. Am I, a thinker, more myself when I am thinking? Or am I just someone who’s gotten used to losing himself in entertaining, instructive, ever-more-engaging thoughts? | mini_pile | {'original_id': '6ac721bbf9798e33b5762dc404c6031fb3dbf434455108ef52e982e218ced7e6'} |

it only took twenty minutes, and we were in our saddles again thirtyfive minutes after we had left them. It must be recollected that threepenny pocket-knives are not the best of instruments to make an impression on rhinoceros hide. There is no knife so good as a common butcher's knife ; as a general rule, soft steel, or even iron, is far better than hard steel, because you can sharpen the first on any bit of stone, and the metal does not splinter when it comes against ut bone.
We followed an elephant path, which went as straight as a Roman road. I took its direction several times with an azimuth compass, and it did not vary four degrees. We travelled till past nine, having been on the move for six and a quarter hours.
The next day, starting very early, poor Timmerman and Frieschland both knocked up; they had never recovered the Ondonga journey; we drove them as far as we could, but it was no use, and as we of course could not wait in the middle of the plain without water, we had to leave the poor creatures to their fate.
This day we managed eleven hours' actual travelling, and could have easily pushed on again, at midnight, but the Bushmen begged us not, as we were coming to where the rhinoceroses were very numerous, and assured us that if we started in the morning we should arrive at 'Tounobis before the heat of the day. This we did; we passed along a labyrinth of wild beasts' paths, put up one rhinoceros, and, after four hours, a valley in front where smoke rose among the trees announced that we had arrived at 'Tounobis.
We hurried to the water to look for spoors, and now we were, without any doubt, in a game-country. The river-bed was trodden like the ground in a cattle fair by animals of all descriptions. The water lay in pools among rocks, and there were evident marks of where the water had stood at the preceding evening, and the depth to which it had been drunk out by the animals during the night ; by the sides of these holes were the circular walls of loose stones, two or three feet high, that the Kubabees Hottentots had built up as screens, from behind which to shoot.
A little way off were crowds of Bushmen ; we went to them, and found them clustered round one of a series of deep uncovered wells, about twelve feet, across, and eight or ten deep, and very close together, into which an elephant had been pushed the preceding night by his comrades, as they had scrambled in droves to drink, and there he lay | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9871525764465332}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '5688', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:23FSUQ3XYLBID54EODHLOVN7OVDJBFS2', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:771a9820-f12f-40ed-ac67-7d014f3a84f9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 22, 22, 0, 54), 'WARC-IP-Address': '174.127.105.179', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:USTF32RHPHFILMB37RAF3C4FIDV7P5EW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:359422f4-01ac-4878-b305-2f4484106139>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://galton.org/cgi-bin/searchImages/galton/search/books/south-west-africa/pages/narrative_0187.htm', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5bc46423-bee4-4bb2-a944-9c6ee84f6b14>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '456', 'url': 'http://galton.org/cgi-bin/searchImages/galton/search/books/south-west-africa/pages/narrative_0187.htm', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.0403408408164978', 'original_id': '05b7a42ae557a5b04a92235764e347001c276fdc695bf744c5c08e389448fdc5'} |

A tetanus booster shot was found to enhance the effect of vaccine therapy for brain tumors, improving patient survival, according to a small, randomized, blinded clinical trial, the results of which were recently published in Nature. The authors, from Duke University Cancer Institute in Durham, North Carolina, detailed what they call “tetanus pre-conditioning” and offered a roadmap for how to enhance dendritic cell immunotherapies that show promise for treating glioblastoma.
“Patients with glioblastoma usually survive for little more than one year. However, in patients who received the immunotherapy, half lived nearly five years or longer from their diagnosis, so the findings are promising and significant,” said senior author John Sampson, MD, PhD, chief of the division of neurosurgery at Duke University Medical Center, in a prepared statement.
The new study builds on earlier research that glioblastoma tumors contain a strain of cytomegalovirus (CMV) that is not found in surrounding brain tissue—making it a good target for immune therapy such as that using dendritic cells. Duke researchers extracted white blood cells, then coaxed the growth of dendritic cells and loaded them with viral antigens. “Armed with these marching orders, the dendritic cells are injected back into the cancer patients, where they head to the lymph nodes and signal the immune fighters to search and attack the CMV-laden tumor,” explained a press release describing the study.
Finding that immunotherapy worked well, the research team then investigated ways to prime the immune system to prepare for the injection of the dendritic cells. They enrolled 12 patients with brain tumors in a small study and randomly assigned half to get a tetanus booster shot, and the other half a placebo shot. The following day, both groups of participants were injected with dendritic cell immunotherapy.
Those who received a tetanus shot had a significant increase in survival compared with patients who received dendritic cell therapy alone. Half of those who got the shot lived from 51 to 101 months, compared with 11.6 months in the comparison group. Also, one patient who received a tetanus shot still has no tumor growth 8 years after treatment.
“These findings have potential relevance for improving dendritic cell vaccines not only for patients with glioblastoma, but also in the immunologic targeting of other cancers,” co-lead and co-corresponding author, Duane A. Mitchell, MD, PhD, director of the University of Florida brain tumor immunotherapy program, said in a prepared statement. “We are obviously pursuing larger-scale confirmatory studies, but are very encouraged by these data and the future applicability.” | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '15', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.951201558113098}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '55126', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:D63TUPOERR22G565S4LFAO52LLN4YP5E', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:830a5b67-9a05-4f5c-a985-ff6d0e85d15e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 8, 18, 21, 59, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '191.236.49.209', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MDEHFPAS4FZEJQ3BZLA3ONIVFXBXLRCZ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0cca5acd-4f0d-4e61-b57a-aec7cc9cd167>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.aacc.org/Publications/CLN/CLN-Stat/2015/April/2/A-Tetanus-Shot-for-Brain-Cancer.aspx', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ec5efb92-1bb3-496a-9d0d-baf756b9ed00>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '413', 'url': 'https://www.aacc.org/Publications/CLN/CLN-Stat/2015/April/2/A-Tetanus-Shot-for-Brain-Cancer.aspx', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-34\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-61-240-216.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': '0.06109732389450073', 'original_id': '6dea7b4e44d08eb2b3a9002324bb2e146dcfab8ecbdcfde720e1363d2289492c'} |

playframeworkGetting started with playframework
This section provides an overview of what playframework is, and why a developer might want to use it.
It should also mention any large subjects within playframework, and link out to the related topics. Since the Documentation for playframework is new, you may need to create initial versions of those related topics.
Getting started with Play 2.4.x/2.5.x - Windows, Java
Download and install:
1. Java 8 - download the relevant installation from Oracle site.
2. Activator - download zip from and extract files to the target Play folder, for example to:
3. sbt - download from
Define environment variables:
1. JAVA_HOME, for example:
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45
2. PLAY_HOME, for example:
3. SBT_HOME for example:
c:\Program Files (x86)\sbt\bin;
Add path to all three installed programs to the path variables:
Play 2.5 installation fix
Installation of Play 2.5.3 (the last 2.5 stable release) comes with a minor problem. To fix it:
1. Edit the file activator-dist-1.3.10\bin\activator.bat and add the "%" character at the end of line 55. The proper line should be like this: set SBT_HOME=%BIN_DIRECTORY%
2. Create sub-directory conf under the activator root directory activator-dist-1.3.10.
3. Create in the conf directory an empty file named sbtconfig.txt.
Creating a new application with CLI
Start the cmd from the directory, where a new application should be created. The shortest way to create a new application via CLI is to provide an application name and template as CLI arguments:
activator new my-play-app play-java
It is possible to run just:
activator new
In this case you will be prompted to select the desired template and an application name.
For Play 2.4 add manually to project/plugins.sbt:
// Use the Play sbt plugin for Play projects
addSbtPlugin("" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.4.x")
Be sure to replace 2.4.x here by the exact version you want to use. Play 2.5 generates this line automatically.
Make sure that the proper sbt version is mentioned in project/ It should match to sbt version, installed on your machine. For example, for Play2.4.x it should be:
That's it, a new application now may be started:
cd my-play-app
activator run
After a while the server will start and the following prompt should appear on the console:
[info] p.c.s.NettyServer - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:9000
The server by default is listening on port 9000. You can request it from a browser by the URL http://localhost:9000. You will get something like this:
enter image description here
Running activator on a different port
By default the activator runs an application on port 9000 for http or 443 for https. To run an application on the different port (http):
activator "run 9005"
Installing through `sbt`
If you already have sbt installed I find it easier to create a minimal Play project without activator . Here's how.
# create a new folder
mkdir myNewProject
# launch sbt
When previous steps are completed, edit build.sbt and add the following lines
name := """myProjectName"""
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
offline := true
scalaVersion := "2.11.6"
# add required dependencies here .. below a list of dependencies I use
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
specs2 % Test,
"com.github.nscala-time" %% "nscala-time" % "2.0.0",
"" % "jsr311-api" % "1.0",
"commons-io" % "commons-io" % "2.3",
"org.asynchttpclient" % "async-http-client" % "2.0.4",
resolvers += "scalaz-bintray" at ""
resolvers ++= Seq("snapshots", "releases").map(Resolver.sonatypeRepo)
resolvers += "Typesafe Releases" at ""
Finally, create a folder project and inside create a file with the reference to the version of Play you would like to use
addSbtPlugin("" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.4.3")
That's it! Your project is ready. You can launch it with sbt . From within sbt you have access to the same commands as with activator .
Play 1 Installation
To run the Play framework, you need Java 6 or later. If you wish to build Play from source, you will need the Git source control client to fetch the source code and Ant to build it.
Be sure to have Java in the current path (enter java --version to check)
Installation from the binary package
Generic instructions
In general, the installation instructions are as follows.
1. Install Java.
Mac OS X
2. Edit /etc/paths and add the line /Applications/play-1.2.5 (for example).
An alternative on OS X is:
1. Install HomeBrew
2. Run brew install play

The newcomers are gentle, always willing to try something new. Often, the survival kits the refugees carry are made in the States, or smuggled in. Most of the Slovaks came with backpacks. Some do come across with all the trimmings. But at least their maps and canned goods are clean.
The volunteers know that the other tents around them are not empty, but filled with the Ukrainians families of the newcomers. The volunteers bear witness to the village and hear the story from the survivors on the ground, whose names are Russian. But they are unable to understand the Russian words or even put them together to know what the story is.
Gloria, you certainly have a way with words. You and I have always had an expressive talent for conveying ideas, concepts and information in ways that resonate with others. Youre such a listener as well as a giver. At times, I find youre interventions unexpectedly piercing. What seems to be so gentle is, in actuality, so powerful. Youre an exceptional life coach and a gifted inspirational speaker. I love and appreciate the way you love and appreciate me. I was born to love and be loved by someone like you.

For the Muslim world, it is a Saint of gentleness and patience. I have been watching the movie Bab: The Gospel of Mary by Ramzi Abed, that is based on the writings of Sr. Maria Georgina Khrama that she wrote under the pseudonym of Mary the Egyptian, when she was abbess of the monastery in the Middle Egypt. She made prophecy that when the Muslims will repent, the Great Shepherd of the world will come and will release the Islamic souls from the prison.

Glenn Beck, for instance, notes that the biggest problem for me was Noah himself I always thought of Noah as more of a nice, gentle guy, prophet of God. Test-audiences had the same reaction. The Hollywood Reporter recounts how friction grew when a segment of the recruited Christian viewers questioned the films adherence to the Bible story and reacted negatively to the intensity and darkness of the lead character. Their perception of a lack of fidelity to the Bible, moreover, was bound up in this portrayal of Noaheven in cases where the film followed Genesis:
Were there fallen angels on the earth before the Flood, and did they teach knowledge to humankind Whether or not Genesis 6:1-4 alludes to this idea in its terse reference to the sons of God coming down to the daughters of men, it soon became part of how ancient Jews and Christians understood these events. These figures appear as part of the Flood story alongside Enoch and Methuselah already in the third century BCE in some of the oldest Jewish writings that survive outside the Hebrew Bible.

Police shoot dog after man attacked in Fayetteville
FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- Authorities in Fayetteville are investigating after they say a police officer shot a pit bull early Wednesday morning.
Police said the incident happened around 12:30 a.m. along the 200 block of Gertrude Street in the Bonnie Doone neighborhood after officers received a call about a dog bite.
Fifty-year-old Michael Harris told police he was walking when two pit bulls attacked him. He had bite wounds on his left arm and his back, according to officials and was taken to the hospital.
Police said officers went to the home where the owner of the dogs lived and saw a dog barking behind a front window of the home. They said when the resident opened the door, one of the pit bulls ran toward the officers.
Authorities said that's when one of the officers fired his weapon twice - one of the rounds hit the ground and the second struck the dog as it continued to charge at the officers. The animal ran away after it was hit, but was found alive nearby.
The two dogs were then taken to Cumberland County Animal Control.
As part of standard practice and protocol, the Fayetteville Police Department said it will ensure that all policies and procedures were followed during the incident. The officers remain on active duty pending the investigation. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'd214e7a5c512172a6e18519eba02121312f07aa718d67131535e01d71f32417e'} |

Ghost in the Shell (2017) – Review
There will be a few spoilers here, dealing with the changes made in this adaptation.
Image result for ghost in the shell poster
Released digitally July 24th and hitting physical release August 7th, Ghost in the Shell is the American remake of the seminal 1995 anime; starring Scarlett Johansson as the Major, a cybernetically (see, Shell) enhanced police officer who strives to uncover the secrets of her lost past. Directed by Rupert Sanders (of Snow White and the Huntsman fame) and written by Jamie Moss (who possesses some smaller writing stints on X-Men First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, with his only large writing credit previous to Ghost in the Shell being the Netflix movie “Spectral”) the film boasts incredible art direction, and the promise of renewed interest in the franchise itself.
Does it deliver then? In short, not entirely. Though there is definite promise and praise to allocate, it pains me to say, I was left feeling a little cold after viewing, and it’s for this reason alone – Everything about this film was right, the director was right, the cast was right, the effects teams were right, even the soundtrack, which evokes a more contemporary take on the cyberpunk motif, was absolutely correct and necessary. The only element I could argue was a bit wonky from the offset was the writing (I’ll get to that later though). But in execution, it’s in the editing suite is where I feel like this film was hampered.
There are a few things that I can be incredibly positive about, the films setting. The evident work that has gone into this bubblegum Bladerunner is a joy to stare at. The city is masterfully rendered with both CG and Practical effects working together to create a very ‘lived in’ city, but one that’s also full of life . Its mix of Asian and American sensibilities really make it a memorable place, and somehow grounding it in reality. It’s a sight to behold and It really feels like a 1980’s anime metropolis come to life; Neon lights, animated billboards and holograms are juxtaposed with underbelly of the city, it’s all grungy, messy, and above all, classically cyberpunk stuff. Aesthetically matching something closer to Tetsuo: Iron Man, it’s here where the villain of the piece makes his nest. It’s in the clash of these two faces of the city, where much of the film revels, in the in-between, where the Major’s investigation takes place.
The soundtrack works in tandem with the lovingly crafted production to really sell the whole package. The electronic hum of the city is worked into the score to create a omniscient element to the city, and It really, in many ways, is the little red ribbon on top of the present.
Johansson, portrays the Major incredibly well, adding just enough nuance to her performance to convey that air of bubbling intensity under a general detachment from reality. It’s suitable enough for her story arc, and holds up against similar characters in Ghost in the Shell’s ilk, i.e. Deckard. Their stoicity is as much an element of this genre as a shootout is to a western. The rest of the cast deliver too, and for the most part, the casting in this movie was spot on (whitewashing criticisms aside, as they don’t really hold much weight against this film which features an multi ethnic cast all playing interesting and nuanced characters).
So why do I feel that this movie doesn’t entirely deliver? Here’s my problem then, why go to the expense of rendering this city. Building this world, making it convincing, spending countless hours on hair, makeup, set design, CGI, costume design, reference to source material, even framing your shots in a compelling way, if you’re going to make your cuts incredibly fast? Why am I not allowed to drink in the atmosphere that it is so evidently implied by the pre-existing fabrication work? The entire film moves at such a pace as to not let the viewer ‘breathe the film’. Fast cuts are synonymous with modern movie making, especially in the action genre, but for a property like Ghost in the Shell, something more ponderous and sombre is required. Editing should not be as infuriatingly bombastic as it is here, which wastes all of the good work put into the film.
Then there’s the writing aspect. In a film, based on a property that deals with pretty hefty themes, why was it felt that a love story was needed? It works against the melancholia present in the original anime and really goes a long way in making it seem overly generic, when the key selling point with a property such as this is surely how different it is to mainstream sci-fi?
I’m certainly in two minds about the overall package, whilst I have nothing but high praise – and I really do commend the wonderfully strong art direction here – as there’s plenty in this movie to like, perhaps even love. But some of that is marred by a lack of faith in the film goer’s patience, perhaps a lack of confidence in the power of a long shot to sell the emotion of a scene, or to reinforce the emptiness a character feels amidst the humdrum of city life. Ghost in the Shell was clearly made by people who care about the franchise, but I’m left feeling that for every perfect stride this movie makes, there are a few missteps along the way.
Ghost in the Shell is available digitally now and can be purchased on iTunes / Amazon / Google Play

BiH applies for EU membership
The official ceremony where Bosnia submitted its application to the EU. Credits: Twitter
15 Feb. — Bosnia and Herzegovina officially submitted an application for membership in the European Union. In answer to the question of how far this step corresponds to the country’s actual situation, European officials and politicians preferred to speak of its significance for the future.
Consideration of Bosnia as a candidate for membership in the European Union began in 2003, only eight years its civil war came to an end. In the following years, the two sides signed several integrating documents, including agreements on a visa regime, trade and association. Negotiations specifically about accession were initiated in 2012.
The submission of the official application was the culmination of a process lasting many years. In a joint statement, EU High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini and the EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn remarked that the country was engulfed in chaos twenty years ago. In their opinion, the present occasion is a “step towards a united and peaceful continent.”
Nevertheless, many have expressed their reservations about whether Bosnia is truly ready to join the EU. Even members of the European Council press service asked the commissioners about the “credibility” of their statement. “Reforms are much delayed,” former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt tweeted. British eurosceptics from the ruling Conservative Party and UKIP immediately began to present the news as evidence that the EU is becoming decreasingly stable.
Even in Bosnia and Herzegovina there were those who, sharing in the general happiness, noted the deficiencies. For example, Republika Srpska Prime Minister Željka Cvijanović stated that despite the positive nature of the act itself, i.e. of initiating the formal procedure, there is nothing else to it. According to her, neither reforms nor an assessment of the consequences for the national market were conducted in a thorough and complete fashion.
However, nearly everyone understands that the start of the official consideration of the application is just an overture. The possibility of membership has been used by Brussels from the beginning as a way to motivate national politicians to keep working together constructively and gradually implement reforms. “It’s the beginning of a long journey,” said Johannes Hahn in an interview with the European Council press-service before the ceremony. “Its desire for membership is a force for peace there,” wrote British politician and Labourite Chris Bryant.

The placebo effect as a ‘looping kind’
The idea has been floated that when psychiatrists classify people and effect that classification through education, medical practice, and popular culture, those people can become aware of their being so classified and thence render the original classification obsolete. The idea is Ian Hacking’s and he calls the phenomenon, ‘looping kinds.’
Whereas Hacking applies this idea to kinds of people, research reported in Wired suggests that a similar phenomenon can be witnessed in the infamous placebo effect.
There has been a rise in the placebo effect since the 1990s. Part of the explanation is this. Drug companies create advertisements. The aim is to make the drug more appealing than the others at the point of sale. But the result has been an increase in positive expectations and experiences at point of consumption.
By effecting a classification of a drug through education, medical practice and popular culture, the activity of undergoing treatment and recovery from illness, has looped: it has been caused to change by how it has been widely (mis)understood.

Swine flu – a new case for Evidence Based Medicine
CDC-11215-swine-fluIt is winter now in Australia and what is feared will be happening in the northern hemisphere when winter arrives, is already the case in the southern hemisphere. Swine flu is becoming more virulent and the necessity to test the vaccines that have been developed since the outbreak of swine flu becomes more urgent. Two pharmaceutical companies in Australia have begun human trials and many volunteers have signed up. Among the volunteers are 400 children, some of them under one year old. It seems logical to test the vaccine on children, since they proved to be one of the most vulnerable groups. The question however is, if it is ethical to involve children in such a trial?

Windows 10 Spring Creators Update
Windows 10 Spring Creators Update Has Reached RTM
Or so they say. The latest version of Microsoft’s OS has reached a significant milestone, with buzz among the bees claiming that the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update has reached RTM.
Release to manufacturing, in other words.
This basically signals the end of new features being added to this version, with it now being considered feature complete as far as development is concerned. The coming days and weeks will be spent on optimizing the refining this version.
Which has, so far, been going under the codename Redstone 4.
This report cites unnamed sources, and claims that Microsoft has internally signed off build 17133 as the RTM version of what is the fourth major update for the operating system. What this means is that this is the Windows 10 build that will be preloaded on new devices by hardware manufacturers.
It is also the one that the general public will be receiving as an update.
Redmond is also expected to flight this RTM build to users on April 10.
However, like most major updates to the OS, it will take quite some time before everyone gets access to these final bits. The software titan likes to spend time gathering deployment data for new versions in order to ensure that users don’t run into problems during installation.
It releases it first to Insiders on the Fast, Slow and Release Preview rings, and so on.
Long story short, the company has finished the majority of development work on the Spring Creators Update. Microsoft will now make Redstone 4 available to all users in due time, while also accelerating focus and development work on what’s next for the platform.
That is, Redstone 5. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.948380410671234}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '52519', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QXPU2YDCSNR2K626IAHAQ5CFOSMAP3ST', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1c06459c-60fa-4bba-b4a8-092eb255ebbe>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 22, 23, 42, 24), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.24.126.181', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5ZHSBYBB3KMES3GNFX2QWM3ALGBKHUBB', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d2f21cab-1b22-404f-a476-14bca984fc9f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.eyeonwindows.com/windows-10-spring-creators-update-has-reached-rtm/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:9e6ae108-1ab0-409c-bef8-97d6690f68d0>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '292', 'url': 'https://www.eyeonwindows.com/windows-10-spring-creators-update-has-reached-rtm/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-138-196-149.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': '0.04418206214904785', 'original_id': '76bb72a7cb6ca3dc9c0854b52f08d68ba8c7b3b986025e6f431f2c2edc0f0a76'} |
Cat training has often been considered an elusive goal by pet owners who've been conditioned to view cats as "untrainable." Yet many cat owners have found an enjoyable way to train and interact with their pets through the process of clicker training.
So what is clicker training? Clicker training is an easy and fun way to help shape your cat's behavior. The scientific term for the method is operant conditioning - simply put, it means you can take advantage of your cat's natural tendency to repeat an action that has a positive consequence. With clicker training, punishments are not used. You "mark" a desirable behavior with a click, and then reward it with a treat.
The clicker is a small plastic device with a metal strip that makes a clicking sound when it's pressed. The value of the clicking sound is that it is completely distinct within the cat's environment. Unlike the sound of your voice, which your cat hears all the time, the sound of the click becomes a clear form of communication. The click is something that he can uniquely associate with the desired behavior. The treat then immediately follows the click, reinforcing the positive consequences of the behavior.
Cat clicker training definitely requires your patience. Before you begin, look for examples of clicker training videos on the Web, or go through your local bookstore to find guides full of clicker training tips and tricks. Set your goals for cat training, and decide which behaviors you want to encourage, which ones you want to replace, and whether you want to teach your cat a few simple tricks.
The first step is to get your cat used to the sound of the clicker. When you have your cat's attention, give the clicker a click, and follow it immediately with a small morsel of something he loves to eat. Commercial cat treats are ideal for this process. It's important to give just a small taste of something yummy so your cat is left wanting more. You can either toss the treat to the cat, or hand-feed it to him.
Be patient. Some cats will associate the click with the treat almost immediately, while others may be slower to catch on. This process is sometimes referred to as "charging the clicker." Once the clicker is charged, and your cat readily makes the association between click and treat, he's ready for more advanced cat clicker training.
Perhaps the easiest command to teach your cat is to "come" at the sound of the clicker - wherever he is, he'll come out of hiding to retrieve the treat. It's the same principle by which cats learn to come running at the sound of a can opener. And if you have a new kitten that hasn't yet acquired an aversion to the cat carrier, you can use clicker training to get him to enter his carrier on demand.
Some cat owners have successfully replaced clicks with voice commands or visual cues. Once a behavior has been learned, it doesn't have to be rewarded with a treat every time, but should always be accompanied by praise.

Low fibre diet - just seems wrong
(30 Posts)
I've been put on a low fibre diet after a hospital appointment today. I can't get my head around it really. Basically I need to eat (for the next month anyway):
White bread, pasta and rice
Jam with no bits (heinous - and no marmalade)
Juice with no bits
No raw vegetables and salad
Cereals like rice crispies
No skins or pips or seeds in anything (no jacket potatoes)
Tinned, cooked to a mush, peeled, de seeded or smoothied fruit and veg
I can eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, cream etc and smooth yoghurt (no bits)
And chocolate is fine (hurrah)
Essentially it's pretty much the opposite of what I've been eating for the last 35 years, which perhaps explains the problem this is trying to tackle.
Anyone else done this? Does it get easier? I suppose it's just for a month. But if it works I'll have to eat like this forever sadangry

It does sound grim. I don't know what digestive problem they're trying to treat (severe IBS? Diverticulitis? ) but it could be that, once you've slowed down the passage of food through your gut and it has become less sensitive, you may be able to reintroduce a few fibrous foods without ill effect. With your fruit, veg and wholegrain intake substantially down have you been advised to take a few supplements? Wouldn't want you getting scurvy or anything smile
Yes it's for IBS symptoms - hopefully you're right and once everything's settled I can re introduce stuff slowly and monitor.
The vitamin thing does concern me - especially as I thought loads of vitamins are in the skin of fruit and veg. I don't want to drink loads of juice because of the sugar content. I'll take a supplement - I'm breastfeeding so nipper leaches vitamins out of me I expect too.
The suggested meal plan was so depressing
Rice Krispies/sugar puffs
Cup of tea and a plain biscuit
White bread and fish paste sandwich or scrambled egg on white toast
Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, soft carrots, soft waterlogged courgettes
Rice pudding, custard or smooth yoghurt, pureed fruit
Hot milk and a plain biscuit
capsium Tue 28-Jan-14 18:35:58
Could you cook yourself a nice smooth soup with that? If you can have veg smoothies...
Shepherd's pie would seem ok too. Chops or sausages and mash. Fish and chips / mash. Macaroni cheese. Whizzed up tinned tomatoes cooked with mince / bacon to make a pasta sauce, cheese on top. Carbonara would be ok too.
Drink the juice for extra vitamins.
capsium Tue 28-Jan-14 18:40:27
X post. Adding a bit of lemon juice to your water would not add too much sugar.
Toad in the hole with carrots. Casserole with potatoes, carrots, onions meat in gravy.
Beef in Beer served with mash and carrots.
capsium Tue 28-Jan-14 18:41:28
At least it's winter for this. All wintery meals...
Thank you thanks
That's really cheered me up. I just need to think differently about it - I'm so used to lots of fresh fruit and veg.
Pies of all sorts would be fine, plus most stews if vegetables really well cooked.
And omelettes, sardines on toast, stewed apple sponge.
Tomorrow is another day!
capsium Tue 28-Jan-14 19:07:34
Happy to help. smile
CogitoErgoSometimes Tue 28-Jan-14 19:14:38
Your suggested meal plan actually looks like the national diet circa 1976 smile Lob in a packet of Angel Delight and a tin of Campbell's Meatballs and you're hot to trot. We survived... mostly. Definitely treat yourself to a good multi-vitamin. The vitamins aren't in the skin exactly but cooking things until soft tends to reduce the nutrition. Wholegrains provide B vitamins whereas the white flour/rice options won't.
You're so right - my gran would have loved that menu, just add one benson and hedges and a murray mint and she'd be a happy lady.
Good call on the B vitamins, I'll buy a good supplement tomorrow.
CogitoErgoSometimes Tue 28-Jan-14 19:31:34
So we've saved you from scurvy and beriberi... smile There's a weight off your mind.
LittleBabyPigsus Wed 29-Jan-14 15:27:21
I have to keep my fibre intake down for my IBS, so yep, only white bread and pasta for me! I don't avoid skins/pips though, maybe I should.
Anyway I would def make lots of stodgy comfort food like macaroni cheese, sausage and mash etc if it's just for a month, make the most of it! Definitely take a vitamin - I take these as probiotics are really helpful for IBS sufferers. Aldi does a tablet version for half the price but I find taking non-coated tablets difficult so I stick to the capsules.

Scrambled eggs with black pepper and smoked salmon, poached egg on white cob toast, maybe some hollandaise, ham and poached egg on toast, omelette Arnold Bennet (eggs cream and haddock)- these are breakfasts of the gods, a month of these would more than please me!
Risotto of all kinds, with cream cheese and smoked salmon, goats cheese, bacon, chicken, a seafood risotto with a bit of lemon at the end. You can make extra for arancini, which are a wonderful creation.
Same goes for omelettes, I love a goat cheese and thyme omelette.
With white rice maybe have baked salmon with chilli and soy sauce? Or sea bass / any fish? prawn or chicken and egg fried rice?
Mussels in garlic cream sauce.
sticky chicken wings? Great for movie night in front of sofa.
Pasta in cream based chicken sauces, carbonara, cheese based sauces- macaroni, or cream cheese and salmon( I'm obviously a fan of salmon and cheese) prawns and mussels in lots of garlic butter tossed through tagliatelle mmm
Fried potatoes, bacon, sausages and egg, with a slice of white toast- can't beat a good breakfast for dinner!
Potato bake with layered potatoes and bacon baked in peppered vegetable stock, feeling flash? Tartiflette- forbidden for most of us, you can eat with gay abandonwink for the next month anyway.
That's not to mention yer standard meat , mash ,gravy combos! chips are also fair game I think, egg and chips, steak and chips, pork in a mustard cream sauce and chips, chicken and chips, and the classic, fish and chips! Yum.
What's the situation on sauteed potatoes- with no skin they're fair game right? Sauteed With garlic and Rosemary and a cheese stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon you've got a delicious showy meal!
Leftover mash makes lovely bacon and potato cakes or fish cakes! And a fish finger sandwich sounds good too.
I think I could manage a month without fibre, though I would clearly eat my own body weight in cheesewink
pregnantpause Wed 29-Jan-14 17:37:33
Ooh- tinned peaches and cream make a vaguely convincing Eton mess type thing, with a crumbled digestive? A tinned pineapple and cheese toastie is no bad thing IMO either. Are you allowed to make your own white bread dough? Of so three cheese pizza, with a garlic cheese base is open as is cheese and tinned pineapple presumably as long as you don't use a tomato base!
AmelieRose Wed 29-Jan-14 17:47:34
I sympathise BillStickers - I have ulcerative colitis and have to go on this diet from time to time and I usually eat loads of fruit and veg.
I eat a lot of potatoes when I'm doing it. Chips with everything grin!
I also eat risotto, and a lot of bacon sandwiches. I'm writing down all pregnantpause's recommendations though as they're fab!

Interesting Oldbag, if anything it exacerbates my symptoms. I need to eat loads of fruit and veg or I flare. And they claim there's no link to diet...

Brilliant suggestions - pregnant you are amazing!
My first day in this brave new world went sort of ok:
Poached egg on white toast for breakfast
Avocado for lunch (I did take some hard boiled eggs but didn't feel like them) Smooth yoghurt for afters.
3 choc digestives blush
Dinner is minced beef cooked with mushrooms and mash
I am so looking forward to eggs Arnold Bennett at the weekend smile
I need more fruit and veg though don't I. Tinned fruit for pudding then.
LittleBabyPigsus Wed 29-Jan-14 19:25:20
I'd have tinned fruit baked with a sponge cake topping (lovely if you add some coconut or ground almonds) and served with custard or cream. Takes no time at all to cook, just a basic sponge cake mix on top of fruit with a little juice/syrup left in so it doesn't dry out. I often top with some flaked almonds before baking.
Sounds lovely - nuts and coconuts aren't allowed but I sometimes do a sponge over fruit so I can do that more often.
LittleBabyPigsus Wed 29-Jan-14 20:26:06
Didn't realise nuts weren't allowed - are ground almonds verboten too? I have had reactions to things like sesame prawns on toast (boo!) but ground almonds aren't a problem.
Yes I was told no nuts at all, unless completely blitzed - so smooth peanut butter is ok.
I was surprised about coconut but I guess it's pretty fibrous.
teta Thu 30-Jan-14 23:09:01
I have IBS and am on the fodmap diet.Some of the things I have to avoid are gluten containing foods and certain fruits and vegetables.Its really helped me but I can still have wholegrain bread and vegetables and small portions of nuts.Do most UK doctors advocate this diet for IBS?

Q:
Public Transit for Merfolk
In an urban fantasy type world, how exactly would public transit work for merfolk?
Situation A: The merfolk are living in a big cross-species city that also has humanoids. For purposes of this question, I'm assuming they have specialized buses. How exactly would these buses work, and what would they look like?
Situation B: These merfolk live in the midway point of the ocean. Not the shallow coral reefs, but not the lightless abyss either. What could they use for their public transit, keeping in mind that they don't really have the ability to use things such as wheels and electricity. The bus would also span several 'levels' as there are no particular streets.
EDIT: The shallow merfolk can avoid water for about a week before drying out, so that isn't an issue. They are based off of dolphins, being able to breathe out of water and being able to hold their breath for 2 hours, though I am considering making it longer. They have no way of getting legs and currently, I have no real plans to put them in wheelchairs, though it is a possibility.
The city either has canals beside the sidewalks or tubes underneath the pathways, though I am leaning towards the former. The public transit needs to be able to get them to the merfolk-oriented areas and the public areas (such as city hall and a multitude of stores).
I'm assuming the bus could drop them off in a canal/tube entrance by the stops.
A:
For a city like New York or Tokyo, the solution would be to repurpose the subway tunnels. Simply flood them with water (they will naturally flood if left unattended long enough) and the merpeople can swim comfortably to and from work.
Naturally, a system of tubes filled with still water will eventually become stagnant and nasty, being a health hazard for both the merpeople and the population on the surface, so the system will be attended by a maintenance staff who will ensure the tubes have clean water pumped in and oxygenated, while "dirty" water is flushed from the system.
This also provides the "public transit" part of the system, merpeople should be willing to pay to use the system since the currents induced in the tunnels will allow them to move much more rapidly and with less effort. Obviously there will be tubes going in each direction (or the flow is reversed between morning and evening rush hour), and building stations will be different from conventional subway practice.
A:
If you have canals in and around your city for your aquatic cities, I'm picturing something along the lines of large "Sea Scooters" like that used by human divers. They travel along predetermined routes, and are covered in handy holds that the merfolk can use to hitch a ride. They could be piloted, remote controlled, or autonomous. These could also work in ocean-based settlements.
For fast travel where there are no convenient canals, you could install a series of water slides for easy travel between different levels. For long flat stretches, water jets could be placed at intervals to give a needed speed boost.

Walls and Wildflowers
Sometimes, when I'm home, I just sit in my room and study the walls, thinking about how much they've changed over the years. How much I've changed. These walls used to be so ugly, with black and white striped wallpaper with a Mickey Mouse border. My entire room was an optical illusion, a Mickey Mouse nightmare, like Disney had thrown up everywhere. I don't really understand that time of my life - why I loved Mickey enough to cover my room with him, instead of posters of the Backstreet Boys, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the 1997 version of Leonardo DiCaprio...hunks of burnin' love, as they were. Instead, my room was filled with posters of kittens and puppies. Then came Mickey. I didn't even watch his cartoons. I couldn't tell you his history, the birth of his animation, when he met his friend, Donald Duck, when he visited the pet store to pick up Pluto, or the moment he fell in love with Minnie. I only know he was all over my room. I'm sure Minnie was a little jealous.
Passionate childhood whims are funny. My 10-year-old self was all about the moment, all about the pop culture of Mickey Mouse and friends. All about French-braiding my hair and "following my heart" to my 6th grade "boyfriend."
I didn't realize at 10, how much more fun it was to be 5, without boyfriends who only want to play soccer with you at recess, and who only call you because they need to borrow your splash ball to play water baseball at the pool. At 5, I was all about flowers - dandelions, musk thistle, wild daises, you name it. I would wander off to pick them all the time. I'm surprised Mom made it through those years, calm and collected, with me in the ditch all the time, picking wildflowers. My favorite getaway was the lilac bushes right outside our old house. In a close second was the tractor tire sandbox in the backyard, full of cat poop. Don't ask me what I was thinking. Come on, I was a kid!
Along with my teens came the emergence of Teen People. Fitting, right? I put down Laura Ingalls Wilder and picked up the latest magazine, colorful and exciting, with the sparkly Britney Spears on the front. I had braces at this time, too, and I secretly enjoyed them for some reason - maybe because the pain built good character. And, at the time, I wanted to make my Dad proud because he would always toughen me up with that phrase when I scraped my knee on the gravel road (gravel scrapes are the worst!) or sprained my ankle at volleyball practice (I wasn't too terribly upset about that).
High school, for me, was made for the sport of cheerleading. Please don't ask me to reason with the decision to spend all four years of secondary school on the sidelines, trying to pry encouragement out of passionate small-town sports-intensified students and parents when their team is losing. Like pulling teeth, I tell you.
In college, I found the stuff that makes me everybody predicted. I guess college is supposed to do that. Music, art, writing, just a few of my elements. And now, I realize, they were always there: in the Mickey Mouse cartoon theme song, in the art of arranging flowers in a vase for my Mom, in the process of reading books and magazine to expand my vocabulary. Cool!
My walls are now solid bright colors, tangerine orange and sky blue, sporadically covered with a world map, a constellation chart, National Geographic posters, cloth, origami, and artwork. Photos and shelves of things I truly love for a reason, not because they're cute and fun, popular or easy to love. I do miss being a random in-the-moment passionate curious kid. But, I guess growing up is only...reasonable.
I would like to thank Britney for making me the person I am not today (because at one point, I wanted to be as famous as she), the cat poop in my backyard (because I'm excellent at sniffing it out and avoiding it now), my first "boyfriend," Aaron (because he taught me some awesome soccer skills, among other skills, I don't even remember), the no-longer existent lilac bush in my backyard (because the smell of lilac is now my favorite memory of childhood). And, yes, Mickey, for his help in making my life a terrific optical illusion of an adventure.

Peanut Butter
You know when you're sick, and your nose is full of mucus? You can't breathe while you're sleeping. It's not peaceful anymore. You can't taste your favorite foods, like peanut butter. The wise Charlie Brown once said, "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love." Maybe I don't know what peanut butter tastes like. Maybe I never will. Maybe Nutella is a better choice. Sorry Reeses, Nutty Bars, Peanut Butter Star Ice Cream, PB&J. You're just not for me. Hold the PB.
If you love a soul more then fame and gold. And that soul feels the same about you. Its a natural fact, there is no turning back.
It's easy being independent. Until you find something or someone to depend on...or something or someone you want to depend on. They all say, you shouldn't have to do anything to win love. You shouldn't. It's easy when you've had way too much peanut butter. Now you have a stomach ache. But, soon, you miss it when it's not around. You keep coming back for more. You don't have to do anything to win that peanut butter over. It just sits there in front of you. Jar after jar. Unless you have nut allergies. Don't do it.
Baby, I’ve got silver and I’ve got gold. But when push comes to shove, this is getting old.
I wish peanut butter would love me back. I wish I knew it.
A wise professor of mine once said,
"We won't understand all of it now because we are incapable. The process is what keeps me going. The discovery of things. The wrestling that takes place to try and better understand why it's important and why or how it fits into my life. The older and more 'knowledgeable' I get, the more I realize I don't know. Maybe that's wisdom?"
Or rather, in this special case...
We won't understand our love for peanut butter now because we are incapable. The process is what keeps me going. The discovery of peanut butter. The wrestling that takes place with the peanut butter to try and better understand why the peanut butter is important and why or how the peanut butter fits into my life. The older and more knowledgeable I get, the more I realize I don't know about peanut butter. Maybe that's wisdom?
My song is love unknown,
My Savior's love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
At times, you wonder... And then you know... It's a good feeling to know... At other times, you have to keep wondering. But doesn't wonder make life exciting and mysterious? And when you know everything, what is there to know? Closure doesn't always reveal itself. In time. You can even drive 1000 miles to find that closure and never get it. Remember Vanessa Carlton and her song, 1000 miles? Theme of the holiday weekend.
If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by? 'cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I can just see you tonight.
Or Sara Bareilles' simplicity in "Many the Miles"
How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the miles, many the miles.
They're talking about 1000 miles to get to someone you love. You don't have to be reimbursed for gas when you're seeing someone you love. But you still want your curiosity and feelings to be reimbursed, or rather, truthful, reciprocated or not. In the end, you find that the miles were worth the journey, to and from...and during your visiting time. Worth every penny for gas.
I'd walk a thousand miles to see my best friend. The effort and reception is enough closure for a love between friends, miles apart. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '41', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9722470045089722}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '67345', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:N7UDEK2L4BFV655HZV7ADHSKFMI5SPJM', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:4e0e9eba-8326-4fc0-839a-7bc1ebe190f8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 23, 7, 47, 26), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.193', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:KYQUE6EFRWZHUSQGBMY6GKIOUQM55TDV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:198e15f2-64c9-466f-9eba-6212da05aac4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://lindseyauten15.blogspot.com/2011/07/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:af796631-e3eb-45f6-814f-11d679876184>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1408', 'url': 'http://lindseyauten15.blogspot.com/2011/07/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-170-22-195.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-43\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.049767136573791504', 'original_id': '3ec3f2e451f64d4063f16d49f5805f84b7ce9ae953955ec663a4e87f2c0cf3fd'} |

How to Cure Bad Breath in 3 Days
As most of us have experienced, bad breath is both annoying and disturbing for both you and the people you interact with. Let's just take a look at some of the situations in which bad breath can spell disaster:
- Job interviews
- Business meetings
- Social interaction at work

Bad breath is not just annoying and inconvenient. It can prevent you from getting a job, it can ruin your date and people will always keep their distance to you in social situations. See the problem? Of course, there are cures out there: chewing gum, mouth wash and even alcohol. However, these «cures» only work in the short term and doesn't deal with the cause of the problem. I'll get back to this later in this article.
Let's first take a look at what's causing bad breath: bacteria. The average human mouth is literally infested with bacteria: some are good for your breath, but some can cause havoc to it. These bacteria can be divided into two categories: the aerobic bacteria and the anaerobic bacteria.
The aerobic bacteria are good for your overall health and thrive in oxygen-rich environments, while the anaerobic bacteria thrive in oxygen-poor environments. Studies have shown that anaerobic bacteria are the bad guys behind almost 90 % of all bad breath problems.
The reason is quite simple. These bacteria produce waste products in your mouth known as sulfur compounds. It's these compounds that produce that foul odor known as bad breath or halitosis, as a dentist would call it.
Most of the bad breath remedies on the market today are designed to kill these anaerobic bacteria, using chemicals like:
- Oxychlorine
- Chlorine dioxide
- Zinc compounds
- Alcohol and other similar antiseptics
However, while killing off the anaerobic bacteria in your mouth, these chemicals also tend to cause dehydration in your mouth. Saliva is the body's natural defense against the very same bacteria because it is oxygen-rich and therefore makes the going tough for the bad breath bacteria. When your mouth is dehydrated by these chemicals, it can actually make the problem worse in the long term! If you really want to get rid of halitosis, you will need to control the anaerobic bacteria without dehydrating the mouth and robbing it of saliva. Ironically, this rules out most of today's remedies against bad breath.
One of the most effective, quickest and cheapest methods for curing bad breath is to make your very own mouth wash using natural ingredients that kill off those anaerobic bacteria. Making a month's supply of this doesn't have to cost more than a dollar or two!
Another great method to get rid off those foul bacteria is to «starve» them. What I'm talking about? Those «bad breath bacteria» are feeding off small food particles in your mouth that are left behind after eating. Therefore, brushing and rinsing your teeth after every meal or snack, you will starve those little devils!
Last, but not least: changing your diet can also help fight those bacteria permanently. Caffeine, alcohol and food/drinks made with synthetic ingredients are all bad for your breath because they can lead to dehydration. Besides, coffee breath doesn't smell too good to start with.
Curing bad breath isn't just another urban legend. You can end the problem with halitosis without spending a fortune or waiting for weeks for the results to come. It's all about doing it the natural way.

Self-destruction in the line of duty.
Three cellular processes, microautophagy, macroautophagy, and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole (Cvt) pathway, are involved in the cargo delivery from the cytosol to the vacuole or lysosome. Recent findings have identified Cvt19 at the receptor for specific cargo binding in the Cvt pathway. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '2ecb719b7e276fefd08280eda9a5e44bbbe47fc4ebf95779660bde9ba0e197a8'} |
Myocardial perfusion and metabolic changes induced by conventional right and biventricular pacing in dilated cardiomyopathy evaluated by positron emission tomography.
Biventricular pacing induces well-known effects on myocardial wall function, apparently providing better results in comparison with conventional right pacing in patients presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, at the moment the secondary changes in myocardial metabolism induced by pacing devices are unclear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the possible changes in myocardial metabolism and perfusion induced by cardiac pacing in these patients. Twenty-eight patients presenting with DCM were submitted to positron emission tomography. Eighteen patients were examined during cardiac pacing, 6 had dual chamber pacemakers implanted for conventional reasons (group A), 12 biventricular pacemakers (group B) for resynchronization purposes; the other 10 patients were considered as controls. Myocardial metabolism was evaluated using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), by the glucose load-insulin technique and perfusion using 13N-ammonia (NH3), injected at rest. A visual and a semiquantitative analysis were performed, calculating on the basis of the regions of interest the septum to lateral uptake (S/L) ratio. In all the 6 patients of group A, a selective defect in FDG uptake was observed in the septum (mean S/L ratio 0.67 +/- 0.15, p < 0.01 with respect to controls), while both the patients in group B and the controls presented a homogeneous distribution of FDG uptake in the myocardial wall (mean S/L ratio 1.01 +/- 0.10 and 0.95 +/- 0.13 respectively, p = NS). On the contrary, at the NH3 positron emission tomography studies no significant difference in myocardial perfusion was found in the three groups of patients, both at the visual and at the semiquantitative analysis (mean S/L ratio group A 1.01 +/- 0.21, group B 0.99 +/- 0.17, controls 0.94 +/- 0.11, p = NS). Our experience could suggest that, in patients with DCM, conventional right pacing could induce interference in the metabolism of the septum not correlated with perfusion changes. On the other hand, biventricular pacing improves myocardial wall function without interfering with myocardial metabolism and perfusion. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5b2e85dc5d2dcf36e9a0d0dd66b8b6b60ad0eeefbca2f3aeaaefea11e193726a'} |

Why Is It Called Boxing Day?
We all know that Boxing Day is the day after Christmas - another day to eat more turkey, watch TV and have (even more) drinks with family and friends.
But do you know why it's called Boxing Day? We explain the origins of they day...
When Boxing Day falls on a weekend, as it did in 2016, the Monday after it is declared a public holiday, too.
Boxing Day is primarily a British tradition, and the UK has exported it to Australia, Canada and New Zealand (in each of which it has become primarily a shopping and sporting day).
Why is it called Boxing Day?
There are a few competing stories for the origin of the name, but none are definitive.
Another theory is that in the Victorian era, churches often displayed a box for parishioners to donate money.
Also, it was customary for tradespeople to collect 'Christmas boxes' of money or gifts on the first weekday after Christmas as a thank you for good service over the year.
How is Boxing Day celebrated?
In modern times the day has become associated with sports - particularly football and rugby. Local rivals are often pitted together, especially in lower leagues.
The day used to be synonymous with hunting.
The 2004 foxhunting ban put an end to this, although many places still carry out drag hunts (the dogs chase a scent that has been laid out) to keep up the tradition.
Boxing Day is also a time when the Brits show their eccentricity by taking part in all kinds of bizarre traditions including swimming the icy cold English Channel, or legging it into the sea, fun runs and charity events.
Many retailers are now starting their Boxing Day sales online on Christmas Eve - or earlier.
Where else is Boxing Day celebrated?
Boxing Day is mostly a Commonwealth tradition, with the likes of Canada, Australia and New Zealand celebrating the day just like in the UK.
December 26 is also a national holiday in Ireland, but there it is known as St Stephen's Day.
A saint who was stoned to death for believing in Jesus, St Stephen is also the patron saint of horses which could be where the hunting association came from.

108 of 365: Linden Homes
I grabbed a Linden Home today. I figure it will be an experiment. I actually got pretty lucky in that my home borders a park area and even though people are all crowded together my place feels fairly open.
I have no clue what will happen at my Linden home, if anything. Anyone who wants to check it out should feel free to visit. The LM is in my profile in world. (It is not like there is anything even remotely like privacy in the Linden Villages.)

You were much luckier than me. I am surrounded by other houses and I feel quite claustrophobic. Also it is hard to walk anywhere because so many of my neighbours have put up ban lines.
I can't rezz anything anywhere but in my house. Even a small boat on the river is impossible.
I can't help wondering just what good these houses are or why anyone would want one. But I will wait to see what you do with yours. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9838163256645204}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '63193', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:Y5WE6AFMUJCAJZKOKAQKP3VXTHD5E4OH', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1d9bf7e0-3b15-4d93-ab64-867c99fcb82d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 4, 19, 19, 42, 3), 'WARC-IP-Address': '74.125.228.236', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WBRZVIH5JTXSJOJTJENQLQLZPMPR62RH', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0c7cb6ce-a943-4630-a8a6-324bae0caad9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://slofdreams.blogspot.com/2010/02/108-of-365-linden-homes.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2795ef9f-400c-42b8-929b-00c065921465>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '175', 'url': 'http://slofdreams.blogspot.com/2010/02/108-of-365-linden-homes.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-15\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for April 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06272244453430176', 'original_id': '4cc6879aa4c06ab2eccf6589ad642d468806927f8a7c8e2968ece6f917fa9886'} |

The Bogota Bistro
Pan-Latin Cuisine meets Park Slope
I’ve been ignoring the small neon sign of Bogota Bistro for quite some time now, because from the outside it looks like a bar full of bar food, like gourmet potato skins and chicken wings. Plus 5th Avenue in Park Slope is overstuffed with restaurants --- numerous Asian fusion and Mexican joints that I’ve enjoyed for a year or more. What a fool I’ve been! Bogota, named for the capital of Colombia, features authentic Pan-Latin cuisine, live bands and an extensive cocktail and wine list.
The décor consists of mucho crazy stuff on the walls, but not in a nasty T.G.I. Friday’s way. My favorite was a Warhol knock-off of a pouty Latina. The murals and plastic ice cube encased lights also add to the festive interior. The atmosphere is LOUD, which could be bad for intimate conversation, or great for a first date with someone you aren’t sure you have anything in common with. Or dinner with your boyfriend’s mom or a former friend from high school you definitely have nothing in common with
I started out with a drink because, 1) I just came from work and 2) Happy Hour lasts all night long from Monday to Wednesday. The strawberry margarita is a little more fruity than boozy --- it has frozen strawberry chunks at the bottom. They also feature the Brazilian national drink, the caipirinha. I skipped the appetizers and had the breaded and fried porkchops, sweet plantains and seasoned rice which were all tender, perfect and flavorful respectively. My only complaint is that all the sauces were spicy and a chilli pepper-a-phobe like myself would like a mild option. My dinner mates had roasted chicken with cilantro mashed potatoes and a skirt steak sandwich with a side salad. The chicken was good, not special but the cilantro mashed potatoes were green and extremely tasty, I definitely recommend those.
All in all it was a satisfying meal, and worth the $20 tab. Also notable, you can skip the meal and just get drinks at the (slightly raucous) bar, though missing out on the food would be somewhat of a travesty.
Appetizers: $4 - $8
Sandwiches: $9
Entrees: $12 - $24
Drinks: $5 (Happy Hour) - $9 for cocktails

Consider These Important Factors To Find The Best Airline Pilot Training
Do you have dreams of piloting a commercial aircraft for a major airline? there is a large amount of information for flight students to take in. So, what are the signs of a good flight school and what other factors should you consider to find the right flight academy?
Important Factors To Find The Best Airline Pilot Training
Do they offer the flight course you need?
Becoming a pilot for an airline requires studying a commercial pilot license, but what other flight courses do they offer? The sign of a good flight school is that they offer a range of different flight courses depending on the reasons people may be wanting to learn how to fly. Great flight schools also offer flight courses including a diploma of aviation, a private pilot license course, a flight instructor rating course, and more.
It may be a very rewarding and thrilling career, but when it comes to studying airline pilot training at a flight school.
What are their flight facilities like?
If you are studying a commercial pilot license, then the flight training facilities they offer are crucial. An enjoyable and comfortable atmosphere is important in order to get the most out of your pilot training. The ideal flight academy should be equipped with flight facilities such as cafés, restaurants, aircraft hangers, modern classrooms, libraries, flight simulator rooms, and more.
How qualified are their flight instructors?
Another major factor to consider is to ensure that the flight instructors the flight school has are experienced and highly qualified. When researching your desired flight school, you need to make sure that their airline pilot training courses are conducted by trained flight instructors that possess a ‘Grade 1 rating’.This is the highest flight instructor rating available.
What is their aircraft fleet like?
As with any flight school, researching their aircraft fleet is incredibly important. In order to get the most out of your flight training, look into the flight training school that you are considering and read any information available regarding their aircraft fleet. They should be equipped with a modern aircraft fleet, as this will provide features such as LCD flight instruments, autopilot, leather seats, glass cockpits, and more.
Can they help you after you obtain your pilot license?
Apart from researching the flight school, it is also a good idea to think ahead in regards to what the next steps are when you have completed the flight course and obtained your pilot license. Are there any other requirements or can you just jump straight into applying to airlines?
An experienced and professional flight school will understand the long and sometimes confusing road that flight students may face. They should offer additional coaching sessions and workshops designed to ensure a comfortable transition from student to pilot. They should provide informative talks from industry professionals and senior captains which will explain what to expect while also helping you practice for interviews to be as fully prepared as possible.
Final line:
Keep these tips in mind to ensure you find the right flight school that offers the best airline pilot training. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9642578959465028}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '62584', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:7MTUKPYIPKSGMLQC5NT34OLD67SYZ6X4', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:e100ada3-f957-49d9-8c31-53dd9463b6d5>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 3, 0, 31, 2), 'WARC-IP-Address': '166.62.28.148', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:EN4KWCSXF2PRGPXEXSFRPEOAKBSD5LNK', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d2e00cf0-1dfe-41f3-95eb-e957d2068d2e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.fundaking.com/consider-these-important-factors-to-find-the-best-airline-pilot-training/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:36fd85b1-0f3c-4511-bec3-dd3adbe0419a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '524', 'url': 'https://www.fundaking.com/consider-these-important-factors-to-find-the-best-airline-pilot-training/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-24\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May/June 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-182.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.45883864164352417', 'original_id': '631d43aef11caec4a0987011b4aa205e9042fc84f01149d2aa217bde43e661ed'} |

MySQL Question
How to filter database results by nearness of gps location?
I'm getting a GPS location via an android app and then asking the server which of the records in the database are near it.
How can I accomplish this?
Let's say that these are the coordinates:
39.017411, -97.251117
How can I ask the database in PHP to only give me the results that contain coordinates near those?
Answer Source
You can do something like as mentioned below, considering field name of your table is lat for latitude and lng for longitude
$lat = 39.017411;
$lng = -97.251117;
$result=mysql_query("SELECT,, tbl.lng, 111.045 * DEGREES(ACOS(COS(RADIANS($lat))
* COS(RADIANS(lat))
* COS(RADIANS(lng) - RADIANS($lng))
+ SIN(RADIANS($lat))
* SIN(RADIANS(lat))))
AS distance_in_km
FROM table_name as tbl
ORDER BY distance_in_km ASC
LIMIT 0,1");
echo $row[lat].";".$row[lng]; | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.6976963877677917}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '38846', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2RFQ2ZO2I4UXQALY6JHN7UWVL3B32E3J', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7d1b1060-b3e9-47ec-98f4-4ae512337e78>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 17, 20, 1, 16), 'WARC-IP-Address': '84.22.103.185', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VLHUI33VO7MRSIHRP3EDDTERWAUMPVOC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:b355fadf-3e3d-4e83-bebc-50dafa5aa1f5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://codedump.io/share/lJlkgmuDCCoi/1/how-to-filter-database-results-by-nearness-of-gps-location', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d436d492-1ed5-4bc8-a2f0-f545cfc42b99>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '121', 'url': 'https://codedump.io/share/lJlkgmuDCCoi/1/how-to-filter-database-results-by-nearness-of-gps-location', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-166-40-162.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-34\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.9761170148849487', 'original_id': '8db828d416e5f0b4aaec8996c3da5f28b6a547c8aa62d9a0007a110c8df4ae48'} |

How to Teach Your Little Ones Thankfulness!
By Stephanie Cornwell
As parents we want to set a good example for our kids. Of course, we want our children to be good people that help others, treat everyone with respect and contribute to society year-round. But the holiday season lends so many opportunities to show our little ones the importance of thankfulness and what it means to give back. Here are some ways you can use the holidays to teach your child about the real reason for the season.
Spend the day at a local food drive
It’s very important to expose your kids to the power of volunteering. This helps teach them the importance of community and being selfless. It also opens their eyes to the fact that not everyone has food, clothes, toys or a family like theirs. Taking one day to volunteer at a food drive or local charity event is a great way to spend time with your family while teaching the kids to think of others.
Donate old toys to children who can’t afford their own
If your kids are anything like I was growing up, my parents spoiled me with presents. With new gifts coming in for the holidays, encourage your children to clean their rooms and give the older, less-used toys a second chance. This teaches sharing, minimalism and is a sustainable way to recycle old toys. This act also gets your children excited about helping others. You can include them on the search for charities that take toys or even participate in pen-pal programs where your child can write a letter to someone across the country!
Write daily gratitude notes
I remember doing this as a child. At the end of each day, I had to write something I was grateful for. It could be as general as “my friends and family” or something small like “strangers that smile when we pass on the sidewalk.” The purpose of this exercise is to become more aware of all the little things that you can be grateful for in a day. It makes you realize how lucky you are and once you get in the habit, you naturally become more grateful. This is a wonderful exercise for teaching thankfulness and positive thinking. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9711309671401978}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '119934', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:4LOHUD44MMZBJPP5MKGAK4BK7OGRTBHV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8eb9670a-ce2a-47f2-8988-bf7a9836ed09>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 12, 9, 21, 0, 41), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.248.4.118', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:TPFRNP2QR7GD54IKZE72J7INZSNXTKMY', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:7ad2ef91-ea53-4d83-87c2-4918a40536fc>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://gigglemagazine.com/how-to-teach-your-little-ones-thankfulness/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:3006eed1-3691-4a56-ae99-3ae4ecb25172>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '375', 'url': 'https://gigglemagazine.com/how-to-teach-your-little-ones-thankfulness/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-206.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06811416149139404', 'original_id': '2818a0809a662bc79df0480976a426187debeb3a40909a502ba297775f6dbf6c'} |

Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) was designed to establish communication between devices and a host computer and is intended to replace many types of serial and parallel ports. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard for peripheral devices that began development in 1994. It was originally intended to make it essentially easier to connect external devices to computers by replacing the many connectors that computers had and simplifying software configuration of all the devices connected to USB. The first silicon for USB was introduced in 1995 by Intel. The USB 1.0 specification was introduced in January 1996, and four years later, the USB 2.0 specification was released.
A USB system has an asymmetric design that is made up of a host, several downstream USB ports, and many peripheral devices connected in a tiered-star topology. Additional USB centers may be included in the layers to create a branching structure with up to five levels. USB devices are connected in series through hubs. The root hub is built into the host controller, and sharing hubs allow multiple computers to access the same peripheral device. An actual USB device may consist of a number of logical sub-devices, known as device functions. The communication linked to USB is based on pipes. A pipe is a connection from the host computer or other device to a plausible unit called an endpoint. There are two types of pipes: stream and message pipes. A stream pipe is a one directional pipe connected to a one directional endpoint that transfers data using an isochronous, interrupt, or bulk transfer. A message pipe is a two directional pipe connected to a two directional endpoint that is solely used for the control of data flow. An endpoint is permanent as it is built into the USB device by the manufacturer. The type of pipe used in the UDB is dependant upon the type of data transfer that is being used. Isochronous transfers are known for their guaranteed data rate, which is usually quick. However, they also risk possible data loss. Interrupt transfers are used for devices that need guaranteed quick responses. Bulk transfers are bulky, irregular transfers that tend to use all of the remaining available bandwidth, but with no guarantees on bandwidth or latency. Control transfers are typically used for short, simple commands to the device.
Connecting USB connectors to the USB bus is generally easy due to the design of the plug. It is difficult to attach it incorrectly. However, it is not obvious at a glance whether the connector should be face up or face down. Thus, it may be necessary to try the insertion both ways. The maximum length of a standard USB cable is 16.4 feet. The USB standard specifies fairly slack tolerances for USB connectors with the intention of minimizing incompatibilities in connectors made by different manufacturers. It also specifies the limits to the size of a connecting device in relation to its coordinating plug. There are many different types of plugs, such as the Micro-B plug, Mini-B plug, Standard-A plug, and Standard-B plug. The Standard-A plug is a flattened rectangle that is inserted into a downstream-port receptacle on the USB host. It carries both power and data, and is usually seen on cables that are permanently attached to a device. A Standard-B plug is a square shape with beveled outer corners, and typically plugs into an upstream receptacle on a device that uses a removable cable. Type B plug carries data and delivers power.
USB can be compared with other device connection technologies. It was originally seen as an accompaniment to FireWire because it operated slowly with small peripherals while FireWire interconnected peripherals such as hard disks and audio interfaces. It can also be compared to Ethernet, digital musical instruments, and eSATA.
The most recent new feature of USB is the SuperSpeed bus that provides a quicker transfer mode. Full-duplex signaling is seen when the bus is operating, when two differential pairs separate from the non-SuperSpeed differential pair. The end result is two wires for power and ground, two wires for non-SuperSpeed data, and four wires for SuperSpeed data, as well as a shield that was not required in previous specifications. SuperSpeed institutes communication between the host and each device it is connected to.

the only death in LIt is for a daughter of Sven Larson at 6 days in 1807 and I can't find a birth in Haggsjon or Lit either.
If she did exist then did a son Lars also exist born c 1811. I had the data from somewhere originally but without evidence decided to most likley exclude Ingeborg and Lars as Maria's children??

Ingeborg is not recorded in any birth or death records. She is only recorded in the household examination record for Ansätten in Hotagen (Föllinge AI:3 page 127) where it is noted that she and the mother Maria stay in Lit. (The Olof Olofsson family lived a short period in Ansätten and then moved back to Häggsjön.)
No note of a son Lars.

Tokyo's Turn
Tokyo's Turn
Nov 15th, 2004 3 min read
Peter Brookes
Senior Fellow, National Security Affairs
Japan is evolving away from a wall flower national-security policy. Once restricted to defending the home islands, Tokyo's military is playing a heftier role in global affairs than at any time since World War II.
Today, Japan's armed forces are supporting the United States in Afghanistan with a flotilla of ships in the North Arabian Sea. And in Iraq, Tokyo has over 500 soldiers in the southern city of Samawah.
Japan recently hosted a multinational exercise aimed at interdicting weapons of mass destruction from an unknown country (read: North Korea). And in some muscle-flexing late last week, Japanese ships and planes chased an unidentified (read: Chinese) nuclear sub from Japanese territorial waters in the East China Sea.
These security operations are unprecedented in Japan's post-WW II history. But this is no resurgence of 1930-40s imperial Japanese militarism, though Tokyo's new assertiveness will alarm some in the region. Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is merely overhauling Japan's national security in ways that will benefit itself, the U.S.-Japan alliance and international security.
Japan's 1947 "peace" constitution (written during the U.S. occupation) renounces war as a "means of settling international disputes." And when it reconstituted its armed services in 1954, it gave them non-threatening names. So there's no Japanese army - in title anyway. Japan has a Ground Self-Defense Force. The same goes for the air force and navy.
For half a century, Japan relied on an American security umbrella for its protection, and checkbook diplomacy to win friends and influence the world community.
But being the world's ATM proved deeply disappointing - and even downright humiliating. During the 1991 Gulf War, Japan was harshly criticized for contributing cash ($13 billion) instead of troops to the international coalition opposing Saddam Hussein's Kuwaiti invasion.
And new, burning concerns - such as North Korea's nuclear program (and ballistic missiles) and China's prodigious military buildup - caused security-sleepy Japan to sit up and take notice.
Tokyo realized that it had to do something about its increasingly tough neighborhood. So it undertook a defense strategy review. The review won't be completed until year's end, but here's how it's likely to come out:
• Self-Defense Forces: In a Pentagon-like transformation, the SDF will develop lighter, more deployable forces for operations at home and abroad. International peacekeeping will become a primary SDF duty - possibly freeing up U.S. forces for other "hot" missions.
Japan will also shift the SDF's focus south toward the Korean peninsula and China, finally dispensing with its Cold War focus on a Soviet invasion from the north. And Tokyo will build power-projection weapons systems such as naval helicopter carriers, destroyers and air-air refueling aircraft. (Nukes will remain taboo.)
• Missile Defense: Caught off guard by a 1998 North Korean missile test shot over Japan, Tokyo has finally decided to develop and deploy a joint missile-defense system with the United States. Japan's decision to deploy sea- and land-based missile defense will strengthen the bilateral alliance, adding to regional stability undermined by the growing threat of Chinese and North Korean ballistic missiles.
(The disposition of the 47,000 American troops stationed in Japan will also change under the Pentagon's Global Posture Review, including a likely relocation of some American Marines off Okinawa.)
China and North Korea are sure to cry bloody murder over Tokyo's national-security policy changes: All Asia has grim memories of Japan's 20th-century militarism. But changes in Japan's defense policy wouldn't be necessary if those two powers didn't pose growing threats to Tokyo's security.
Younger Japanese don't feel responsible for Japan's World War II transgressions, they see the world without chauvinism and want Japan to be a normal nation. Fortunately, any evolution in Japanese security policy will be open, transparent and democratic. Once formulated, Tokyo must do its best to explain its new defense policy to its neighbors.
For over 50 years, the U.S.-Japan alliance has been the anchor of American security interests in the Pacific. Tokyo can - and should - do more to stabilize regional flashpoints (e.g., the Taiwan Strait and Korean Peninsula) as well as contribute more broadly to international security.
And in addition to managing North Korea and guiding China's rise, the U.S.-Japan alliance should evolve into a true global partnership. With inspired leadership and increased cooperation and capability, the alliance will be ready to deal with 21st-century challenges both in Asia and across the globe.

Caleffi 300
Caleffi’s 5350 Series AutoFill fast-fill/pressure-reducing valve maintains system pressure at a set value, automatically feeding water as required when installed on the water inlet piping in closed hydronic systems. Because the value is pre-adjustable, the system pressure can be adjusted to the appropriate pressure before the system charging phase and will then automatically shut off the water feed. A pre-assembled internal cartridge contains the controlling components as a self-contained unit, facilitating ease of inspection and maintenance procedures. Available in 3/4” sweat or union connection, it includes an integral downstream pressure gauge and pressure-setting adjustment knob. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8544356822967529}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '87676', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:TEZLMWGMWCYWX3NJJH7HWTRKMAM64TYK', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8102809a-3e3f-4c1e-8162-42049bc563b6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 23, 17, 36, 52), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.91.60.106', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ICPSPUUNPDQQMCOVD3MWNFRXJ5O4EU7K', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c7f073e3-5c4e-42c0-a187-b2b3e3328866>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.pmengineer.com/articles/90735-automatic-filling-valve', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:333007ac-1d61-48a6-af3d-f3f1f8696025>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '99', 'url': 'https://www.pmengineer.com/articles/90735-automatic-filling-valve', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-254.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': '0.028735756874084473', 'original_id': '6b707c594a5d21b9dd68018616d7c144132d2981dfbfa22e8fddfcba40b899cb'} |
