Drone and Missile Attack Reported on Saudi Arabia
Explosions heard around the capital of Saudi Arabia were alleged to be a drone and missile attack in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The US embassy in Saudi Arabia confirmed media reports of “possible missile or drone” attacks that struck a building in Riyadh. Concerned that more were incoming, the US mission urged people to take precautions.
The US mission statement on June 23 said that if people hear explosions, they should take cover. If they live in a building, they should go to the lowest part away from windows or near interior walls. “If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover.” This unprecedented statement issued during an attack appeared to confirm that it was unfolding and ongoing. Rumors said multiple waves of attacks were being feared from Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
Saudi Arabia said that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has intercepted drones laden with explosives. The Houthi rebels have sophisticated drones that were built on Iranian models. These include the Qasef-style drones that are basically loitering munitions or cruise missiles, flying with a warhead into a target. Houthis have bombarded Saudi Arabia with these for years.
A long range attack like this one, however, is more likely to be missiles. Iran used drones in September 2019 to attack the kingdom’s Abqaiq energy facility. In addition, the US had twice intercepted shipments of missiles and drone technology to Yemen and has put Houthi drones on display in Washington. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9764589071273804}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '45584', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:DNNCFZPWNRYVO5DTQ5UU2JLJ645IMBXY', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:10371122-4df4-490e-8d28-2aa4a8842d91>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 23, 5, 15, 51), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.22.49.104', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:EHHKPEEQ4PNJ2BDBGOX3JRHTIRWI6JTN', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:320a8d4a-cc7b-4a4c-a40f-a1b46ea629cc>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://cufi.org/issue/drone-and-missile-attack-reported-on-saudi-arabia/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2dd293e4-f351-4b51-b70c-d7b95ff6c9f8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '249', 'url': 'https://cufi.org/issue/drone-and-missile-attack-reported-on-saudi-arabia/', '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-10-67-67-32.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': '0.11002528667449951', 'original_id': 'b9dba4be68a084302a48ed57c9bc441c025fd751c6d7dfad98a8a47087bf0b56'} |
Russian Hackers Are Hoarding More Than a Billion Stolen Passwords
A Russian crime gang is in possession the largest known collection of stolen passwords, user names, email addresses, and other online credentials. That's one of the worst collections a Russian crime gang can have other than, I don't know, rocket launchers and dirty bombs.
Milwaukee-based security research firm Hold Security says that the Russian hacking ring holds over 1.2 billion user name and password combinations and 500 million email addresses. They reportedly used a series of botnets to trawl the web, eventually collecting over 4.5 billion records (though many overlapped, so there were 1.2 unique combinations).
The New York Times consulted other experts for more information; what they found is scary:
But just because companies are aware doesn't mean they've fixed the problem and your information is safe:
So what can you do? Change up your passwords and usernames, or at least your passwords. It appears the crime gang, which is based in south central Russia and is thought to be run by men in their 20s, has not sold the information. Instead, Hold Security believes they're using it to spam people on Twitter.
Hackers are continuing to outpace the digital security precautions of so many companies and organizations that it's starting to feel like a losing battle. Hold Security is working to develop a tool people can use to check if some grubby Russian Millennial has a copy of their information, but until then, there aren't many practical steps people can take besides changing their information regularly.

LGBT Students Need Our Support

Many students in our public school system adjust to school culture without an issue. These students go through their school experiences unscathed—they are popular and good-looking; gifted athletes or academic stars. They look forward to attending school, where they know they will feel engaged and safe. They grow up, attend college or enter the workforce, and do well in life just as they did in high school. They attend their 10th, 20th, and 25th high school reunions, where they talk about the "good old days" when they scored the winning touchdown or pulled a great class prank. Most likely, they remember their high school days as one of the best periods of their lives, and they see their high school experience as the solid foundation that led them to who they became as adults. Quite simply, they don't know what it is like not to fit in because they lack the battle scars that others have endured who have not had it so easy.
One segment of our K-12 population that does not fit in so easily is our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Often, they feel they have to hide who they are in order to escape the torment they have witnessed other LGBT students face. Depending on whether they fit into heterosexual norms, they may escape another day unscarred or enter a world of constant hurt. These students will not remember school fondly.
Most of them cannot wait to graduate, and typically vow never to visit their high school hallways again because of the pain they suffered at the hands of their peers. Their memories often include being called names and being taunted. LGBT students are more likely than most other groups of students to be bullied and harassed, and the adults around them often do very little to protect them.
—Robbie Lawrence
With any luck, LGBT students will attend a college where they meet like-minded people, find a niche, and become successful. Unfortunately, for many of these students, this will not be their experience. As early as elementary school, educators can already see which children will suffer the most. And, as educators, we do not always do enough about it. This must change.
We all know that parents play an important role in the growth and development of children. Sometimes, however, as educators, we underestimate the role we play in their development, or we choose to duck this responsibility so that we can feel better about the fact that we downplay how some of our students are ostracized. We find ourselves saying, "Yeah, kids can be tough on one another;" or "I just wish he would act differently so he doesn't make himself a target."
The reality is that there are adults who do not want to hear about "gay" issues because it makes them uncomfortable, or they see it as a "lifestyle" or "choice" that they don't agree with. There are many adults who whisper when they say the word "gay," and that, in turn, makes LGBT students feel self-conscious.
What if we could do things differently? What if we could have an impact on these students? What if we found ways to engage them through curriculum or after-school activities, or helped them feel welcome in our schools by providing a safe space?
Many LGBT students feel threatened, unloved, and alone. Some very fortunate LGBT students grow up in supportive households where they are loved and accepted for who they are. These young people go to supportive high schools that educate the whole child, that encourage them to mature into successful members of society. My guess is that this is not typical. There are far too many schools that lack the proper supports for LGBT students, and far too few adults who are comfortable entering into a discussion of how to help them.
Over the past few years, there has been a slew of suicides among LGBT youths. Those who have died by suicide range from children who never reached their teen years to others who cut their lives short before they finished college. It is clear that we have a societal issue that must be addressed, and those of us who are fortunate enough to be educators are in a position to propel the action.
"We have an obligation to change this. We can't let intolerance and ignorance take another kid's life. Things will get easier, people's minds will change, and you should be alive to see it."
Ellen DeGeneres
It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living (Dutton, 2011)
The harsh reality is that we do not see all the teasing and torment that goes on in our schools. Statistically, the LGBT student population is the most marginalized group in our schools. Every time we turn the other cheek, we have lost another student and prevented him or her from finding himself or herself. When we ignore opportunities to help these students, we give them a reason to distrust and hate the school system that is supposed to educate them.
Teenage years are hard enough with the storm and stress of schoolwork, family relationships, friendships, and the inevitable physical changes. Having the extra pressure of needing to hide who you are because you fear that others will not like or love you anymore, including your family, is painful. LGBT students walk in our doors every day attempting to be people they are not, just to find acceptance. What are we doing to make it easier for them to accept themselves?
Our LGBT students are dropping out of school at an alarming rate. They experiment with drugs and alcohol at a higher percentage than their straight peers, and are more likely to suffer from depression. When students are that desperate, they will turn to whatever means seem necessary to feel accepted, even if it's just a temporary fix.
A supportive and inclusive environment can drastically alter the school experience for our LGBT students and our heterosexual students. Through the use of thoughtful curriculum, smarter school board policies, protective school codes of conduct, and school-based gay-straight alliances, our students can learn from each other. They will be better prepared for the future in which they will have to work with people of all backgrounds.
The mission of the public school system is to educate all students, and that must include LGBT students. Educators and administrators have the power to ensure that school truly does get better for each and every child, every day. And we owe it to our students to meet this challenge.

Loss of the Y chromosome predicts a high relapse risk in younger adult male patients with t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia on high-dose cytarabine consolidation therapy: a retrospective multicenter study.
The prognostic significance of loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) in patients with t(8;21)(q22;q22) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poorly understood. To investigate this issue, 226 younger adult male patients with t(8;21) AML from 15 Chinese hematology research centers were retrospectively evaluated, among which, 50.4% had LOY. In patients receiving high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) consolidation therapy, LOY was associated with a significantly higher cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR, HR = 2.18, p = .048), worse relapse-free survival (RFS, HR = 2.39, p = .026), and worse but not significant overall survival (OS, HR = 2.71, p = .166). A multivariate analysis adjusted for age, WBC, KIT mutations, and minimal residual disease showed LOY to be an independent adverse prognostic factor for relapse in patients on HiDAC consolidation therapy. Our results suggest that LOY may be associated with a high relapse risk in t(8;21) AML patients receiving HiDAC therapy during consolidation. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '68b58d6e4e9ec2ec116eb621b5cfc4c9f828d1875cc6509cbaed17bd7115c0ee'} |
Prevention is better than cure...?
Prevention is better than cure...?
Durgadas P.V.
Let me start by giving the due share of compliments to my beloved wife on being punctilious on matters of preventive health practices. She is also a very devout person having unflinching faith in various Gods and Goddesses without any inhibition for any religion/sect. As we travelled to USA for a long holiday, she took a share of her treasure of preventive medicines and copies of hymns and slokas too along with the other essentials.
This happened last week.....
Ah......ah......acchooo.......sneezed my elder grandson. My daughter immediately said "Bless you." It was contrary to her firm resolution not to be supportive of superstitions prevailing in India. But I thought this may be a part of conversational etiquette in USA.....! I didn't venture to ask about any controversial topics and kept my deep silence. But it was evidently the harbinger of some health disorder at least a minor cold, a viral infection or an allergic reaction.
My wife immediately got alerted and sprung into action like a policeman on duty in front of the Secretariat after seeing a students' procession. She brought a series of Homeopathic medicines and gave it to him. Since the tablets were made of sugar it was well received too. She called the younger one and administered what she called a preventive dose. The next target was me. As per her claim, she created an impregnable firewall around me to prevent any viral attack.
Day two passed without any major incidents. My grandson continued to be slightly upset with less energy level. But the boy started with nasal discharge which he tried hard to prevent. It became my duty to run after him with a tissue (kerchiefs of our times are obsolete in America ) to inveigle him to blow it so that the relief would be faster. Let me admit that it generally ended in a run and chase game without any positive result.
On the fourth day the throat got affected and the cough started. My wife had a different array of sugar tablets coupled with some Ayurvedic powders to be administered mixed with organic honey......which was well received by the "patient". The child started getting mild fever during night time. If it were in India, we would have either got some medicines from the local chemist or gone to the doctor. This was not readily possible in USA for which we the grandparents on tourist/visitor's visa felt awfully annoyed! At last we compelled them to call the infirmary attached to their town and get an appointment after about ten hours. My wife continued her medication through the sugar pills on all other members of the family proclaiming the superlative powers of that branch of medical treatment and their medicines on curing the problems and for preventing infection. My daughter and son-in-law who have been living in USA for about one and a half decades had the virtues of the local system deeply engraved in their minds. They remarked that a viral attack would generally take six/seven days for complete cure. The local hospitals wouldn't administer any medicines or antibiotics but would advice only complete rest.
As predicted, the diagnosis at the local hospital reaffirmed the suspicion of a viral infection.
The child became near normal and started his usual physical and mischievous activities after two days. Needless to add, the sugary tablets were continued on all these days with lofty claims on its virtues rattled out by my wife often quoting a few examples of successful cases in India.
On the eighth day a Sunday, he fully recovered and insisted on going to the swimming class. After the kids returned from the pool, my wife claimed grand success of her medication. She said "See he has been cured within a week .."
My daughter retorted, "That's why I said it takes seven days."
The younger grandson sneezed and "God bless you" was a statement in unison by all! | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9815058708190918}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '294033', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:UBMHXMCG5UZOCMNB7WDMKPSUFR7API6E', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f619216a-1c2d-43e8-bfba-3393e0a26b22>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 10, 22, 39, 17), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.18.91.198', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SDU43KHIHRNXALC3UB4VMN56OAB6ZZL5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:766067f7-9ddb-4f26-92af-ccd278c98a3a>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.pennews.net/reminiscence/2019/09/08/prevention-is-better-than-cure', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:1d658371-4feb-4b2c-b9b6-294d48b58654>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '659', 'url': 'https://www.pennews.net/reminiscence/2019/09/08/prevention-is-better-than-cure', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-34\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-75.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': '0.056737542152404785', 'original_id': '8f81188ec53c73a372e6d55b7402f2dcd48059bd99f0d510030ab1e39a3e7904'} |

Adding new constructs
Our language is a little too scarce. For example there is no way to introduce new variables. As I mentioned, we need to use an IIFE, so it'll look like this (silly example, can't think of anything better):
(λ(x, y){
(λ(z){ ## it gets worse when one of the vars depends on another
print(x + y + z);
})(x + y);
})(2, 3);
We'd like to add a let keyword that will allow us to write it like this:
let (x = 2, y = 3, z = x + y) print(x + y + z);
For each of the definitions, variables that were previously defined become available. That let could be translated like this:
print(x + y + z);
})(x + y);
This transformation can be handled directly by the parser and it would require no changes in the evaluator. Instead of adding a dedicated "let" node, we can transform the whole thing into "call" and "lambda" nodes. What this means is that we're not adding any semantic power to the language — it's called “syntactic sugar”, and the operation of transforming it into AST nodes that are already known is called “desugaring”.
However, since we are going to modify the parser anyway, let's add a dedicated "let" node because it can be evaluated more efficiently (there is no need to create closures and call them immediately; we only need to extend the scope).
We will additionally support a “named let” syntax, which was popularized by Scheme. It allows us to define looping expressions in an easier way:
print(let loop (n = 10)
if n > 0 then n + loop(n - 1)
else 0);
That's a recursive loop that computes the sum 10 + 9 + ... + 0. In the language we have so far we would have to write it like this:
loop = λ(n) if n > 0 then n + loop(n - 1)
else 0;
To make it easier, we'll add the concept of “named functions”. So we'll also be able to write it like this:
print((λ loop (n) if n > 0 then n + loop(n - 1)
else 0)
So to recap, the modifications we need to make are:
Parser changes
First, a very small change in the tokenizer, we need to add let to the list of keywords:
var keywords = " let if then else lambda λ true false ";
We have to modify parse_lambda in the parser to account for the optional function name:
function parse_lambda() {
return {
type: "lambda",
name: input.peek().type == "var" ? : null, // this line
vars: delimited("(", ")", ",", parse_varname),
body: parse_expression()
Let's now define the let parser:
function parse_let() {
if (input.peek().type == "var") {
var name =;
var defs = delimited("(", ")", ",", parse_vardef);
return {
type: "call",
func: {
type: "lambda",
name: name,
vars:{ return }),
body: parse_expression(),
args:{ return def.def || FALSE })
return {
type: "let",
body: parse_expression(),
It handles both cases. If following the let we have a "var" token, then it's a named let. We read the definitions with delimited, as they're in parens and separated by commas, and use a parse_vardef helper which is defined below. Then we return a "call" node which calls a named function expression (so the whole result node is an IIFE). The function's argument names are the variables defined in let, and the "call" will take care to send the values in args. And the body of the function is, of course, fetched with parse_expression().
If it's not a named let then we return a "let" node, having vars and body. The vars contain { name: VARIABLE, def: AST }, as parsed from the let definition list by the following function:
function parse_vardef() {
var name = parse_varname(), def;
if (is_op("=")) {;
def = parse_expression();
return { name: name, def: def };
We also need to account for the possibility of encountering a let keyword in the dispatcher (parse_atom), so we're adding this line:
// can be before the one handling parse_if
if (is_kw("let")) return parse_let();
Evaluator changes
Since we opted to modify the AST instead of desugaring into known AST nodes, we have to update the evaluator to take the changes into account.
In order to support the optional function name, the make_lambda function becomes:
function make_lambda(env, exp) {
if ( { // these
env = env.extend(); // lines
env.def(, lambda); // are
} // new
function lambda() {
var names = exp.vars;
var scope = env.extend();
scope.def(names[i], i < arguments.length ? arguments[i] : false);
return evaluate(exp.body, scope);
return lambda;
If the function name is present, then we extend the scope right when the closure is created and define the name to point to the newly created closure. The rest remains unchanged.
Finally, to handle the "let" AST we add the following case in the evaluator:
case "let":
var scope = env.extend();
scope.def(, v.def ? evaluate(v.def, env) : false);
env = scope;
return evaluate(exp.body, env);
Note it extends the scope for each variable, defining the variable by evaluating the initialization code, if any. Then just evaluate the let body.
It wasn't too hard to make these changes, since we wrote the whole language ourselves. But what if it were written by someone else and we didn't have the sources; moreover, if it was a standard language that everybody had installed, and it would expect programs to conform to a certain (rigid) syntax? That language is JavaScript. Imagine you wanted to add a new syntactic construct to JavaScript — can you do it? Not a chance, even if you can propose it to the big guys who maintain JS, it would take years for your proposal to be considered, accepted, standardized and widely implemented. In JavaScript, we're prisoners (unless we implement our own language on top of it).
I told you I was going to argue why Lisp is a great language: in Lisp we can add syntactic constructs without changing the actual implementation of the parser/evaluator/compiler, thus making our lifes easier without imposing those constructs to all the users of the language and certainly without waiting for years for some committee to approve our ideas and others to implement it. Lisp is freedom. If Lisp didn't have named functions or a let construct, we could add them in less code than was needed above, and they would look and feel like built-in constructs.

The Literary Effects of Wordplay
Readers of the Bible approach the subject from a variety of perspectives. People with a historical bent use the text to reconstruct the history of ancient Israel. People with a theological bent use the text to understand ancient Jewish theology and/or to derive lessons of moral theology that speak to us still today. People with a cultural bent, armed with our current knowledge of other ancient Near Eastern societies, use the Bible to determine the unique aspects of ancient Israel vis-à-vis the other civilizations that surrounded it.
These three approaches — the historical, the theological and the cultural — have dominated scholarship since the enterprise known as modern biblical studies began in the 19th century. In recent decades a new perspective has developed: the literary approach. This approach to the Bible treats the text at its basic level. For before we can proceed to questions of history, theology and culture, we first must realize that the Bible is literature. Indeed, as the literary approach to the Bible has made very clear, the Bible is exquisite literature of a highly sophisticated nature.
This week’s portion affords us several excellent opportunities to see the literary nature of the Bible at work. Space prevents a presentation of all such examples, but at least two may be discussed in some detail.
One of the traits of all good literature is wordplay (it abounds, for example, in such diverse authors as Ovid and Shakespeare). The story of God’s messenger pleading with Lot to escape the destruction of Sodom contains an excellent illustration of this technique. In Genesis 19:17-22 we encounter five times the verbal root m-l-t (mem-lamed-tet) “escape,” which contains the same two consonants of Lot’s name l-t (lamed-tet). This is not a coincidence, rather it is intentionally placed in the text to stress the give-and-take between the messenger and Lot. Moreover, it serves to contrast the character of Lot with that of Abraham. With destruction facing the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham pleaded with God to save them for the sake of the innocent people who may reside there. Lot, by contrast, makes no such moves, rather he himself is barely saved when he becomes an “escapee,” a designation hinted at in his name and the wordplay on it.
Our second illustration concerns the manner in which characters are referred to in a story. As we read the story of Ishmael’s expulsion from the house of Abraham, we notice that he is referred to by three different terms: “son” (ben), “child” (yeled) and “boy” (na’ar). At first glance this might appear to be simply a stylistic change, to prevent the text from constantly utilizing the same word. But upon closer inspection we notice a deliberate choice is being made in each instance.
As the story unfolds, the main human characters in the story view Ishmael as a “son.” In Genesis 21:9 we read that “Sarah saw Hagar’s son”; she then demands that Abraham evict Hagar and “her son” (verse 10), and then we learn that “the matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son” (verse 11). By using the word “son” in these verses, the text emphasizes the family relationship.
When God speaks, He takes a dispassionate view of the subject and refers to Ishmael in a neutral fashion as “the boy” (verse 12). God instructs Abraham to heed Sarah’s word and to send Ishmael off. He does so, but now the designation “child” is used (verse 14). In other words, in Abraham’s eyes, Ishmael has been reduced from status of “son” to that of “child,” thus opening the way for Isaac’s position as the only son (a point made explicit in the ensuing story of the Akedah, see Genesis 22:2). Similarly, when the water supply of Hagar and Ishmael is exhausted, both the storyteller and Hagar speak of him as a “child” (verses 15-16). This word choice, it would seem, emphasizes the helplessness of the “child,” a point that would not be driven home if the word “son” or “boy” were used.
Finally, when God enters the story again and points the way to water, the word “boy” is used once more (verses 17-20). This word choice shows that the helpless condition has been relieved and once more it shows that God speaks of Ishmael in the neutral way of “boy.” In short, the text not only places into the mouths of the characters the different words “son,” “boy” and “child,” it also takes on the perspective of the characters in utilizing the appropriate word in third-person narration as well.
Throughout all of this shifting back and forth among “son,” “boy” and “child,” it is noteworthy that never in Genesis 21 is Ishmael referred to by name. The above designations are used, but the name “Ishmael” never occurs. This in itself is intentional, as the text directs the reader to understand that Ishmael will no longer have a role to play in the story. He is being removed from the scene, and in like fashion his name is removed from the narration.
These are but two illustrations of the literary character of biblical narrative. The Bible abounds in such techniques. A close reading of the text pays big dividends time and again. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '08a73dfb13251e1b821eb63e1cb5d77f04c21ef35c334140ab64391ce876b59e'} |

Investing in Social Enterprise: Lessons from the 2012 Sankalp Summit
Imagine you have devoted the last three years of your life to coming up with a new innovative enterprise to meet the needs of the poor. You came up with the idea, worked tirelessly to prove the concept and put together the best team that you could find. Now imagine that you have 3 minutes to pitch years’ of work to a panel of impact investors who could help you take your business to the next level, equipping it with the financing to reach thousands of more people. This is exactly what a group of four budding social enterprises had to do at the Fourth Annual Sankalp Impact Investing Summit in Mumbai. Last week’s conference brought together impact investors and social entrepreneurs to discuss how the field has moved forward and where it is likely to go; and of course, the conference serves as an opportunity for investors to identify rising stars and make new investments.
As entrepreneurs chatted over tea, the question on everyone’s mind was: What are impact investors looking for? Of course at the most basic level they are looking for businesses that are financially viable, and achieve meaningful and measurable social impact. But how do they differ from typical investors? Are impact investors more risk averse? What size of deal are they willing to make? What stage of maturity do they seek in a business? The panel, “ET (Economic Times) Now’s Pick of Sankalp,” which brought hopeful entrepreneurs under the scrutiny of established investors such as Aavishkaar and Ventureast helped clarify what drives impact investment choices.
Growth. Every enterprise that presented to the panel already had some sales and a market in mind for its product, but this is just the first step. The panel emphasized that to attract capital a social enterprise must have a viable growth strategy. This should include a mix of increasing sales and driving down costs. The first presenter, Ajit Narayan, from Invention Labs pitched his work on Avaz, a bundled software technology package that allows people afflicted with disabilities that prevent or inhibit speech, such as autism or cerebral palsy, to speak through a tablet computer. In India, where tablets are of variable quality and a relatively new consumer good, it is necessary to sell the hardware and software together. The panel commended Avaz’s growth plan to tap into the global marketplace by de-bundling their software app from Avaz’s hardware and selling the program through global online app stores. There are almost no transaction costs to this approach, it brings down the price of the product and opens Avaz to a much wider customer base in higher income markets. One important distinction between social impact investments and regular investments is that investors are willing to wait a little longer to achieve growth. Since the concept of social enterprise is somewhat new and best practices have only recently emerged, so called “patient capital” allows entrepreneurs to carefully test and adjust their models as they scale-up.
Modest Investments. Each of the entrepreneurs had already overcome the difficult, and often expensive, R&D phase that transforms an idea into a product prototype. Driptech, which markets a low-cost drip irrigation system to small plot farmers, already had engineered a new production process for drip irrigation. The refined design allows the company to scale down irrigation systems to perform well in small acreage settings at an affordable price while also consuming less power than traditional systems. Conversations with some of the summit participants suggested that impact investment deals usually do not exceed $5 million, and many are much smaller. This suits many entrepreneurs, but it may limit how far up the R&D value chain an impact investor is willing to go. For example, an impact investor may support the expansion of an innovative hospital chain targeting the poor or the diffusion a new point-of-care screening device, but is unlikely to enter the realm of high-cost R&D for a vaccine or drug of public health importance.
Quality. The poor are aspirational, and they do not want shoddy products. Every entrepreneur emphasized the importance of delivering value for money. Ampere Vehicles has created a line of electric bikes and scooters designed to help small vendors transport goods at low cost or to facilitate commutes to work. The bikes run on a rechargeable battery and can be purchased for 30 percent less than standard motorbikes or scooters. CEO Hemalatha Annamalai stressed that in her initial experiences marketing various models of bikes to low-income customers she found they opted for the better and more expensive vehicles. Especially when a new product or service can help them improve their livelihoods, the poor are willing to invest in quality. The price must be affordable, but the strategy of a successful social enterprise cannot rely on slashing costs by sacrificing quality and functionality.
Market Share. Although social enterprises may incur higher costs from pursuing responsible business practices, they compete in mainstream marketplaces. For example, M S Vinod of Eram Scientific, a company that manufacturers high-tech, coin-operated public toilets that connect to central monitoring systems, has to differentiate his product from regular toilets (see video below for more). Annamalai has to market her electric bikes and scooters against normal forms of petrol-based transportation. The social impact that entrepreneurs create is a top consideration for all impact investors, but the potential for high social impact cannot compensate for a weak market strategy. The investors stressed that creating comprehensive marketing strategies requires a strong management team. An entrepreneur that excels in devising new products must know when to bring in experienced partners with the necessary savvy to elevate a product or service above its mainstream competitors, capitalizing on both its social and financial value.
Shared Passion. All of the entrepreneurs that pitched ideas to the panel had designed their projects to overcome a distinct social need. Conserving water, improving crop yield, giving a voice to the disabled—these are all important goals in India, but when Vinod shared his vision for improving sanitation across the country, the panelists passion for the cause was palpable. They agreed that giving the poor access to toilets and improving hygiene should be a national priority. As they discussed the dimensions of the problem, they became more convinced of the viability of Eram Scientific’s enterprise. By connecting with the investors on a topic that they felt passionate about, Vinod almost immediately established a collaborative relationship. He received the highest scores from the panelists, winning the competition.
These are just a few of the characteristics that investors consider in their due diligence, but they were reiterated throughout the panel. Many of the basic strengths that investors seek in social enterprises are similar to what investors look for in regular investments.This reinforces that social enterprises are businesses first and are an outgrowth of the capitalist model. During a talk about the history and trajectory of business, Pravesh Sharma, the managing director of the Small Farmer’s Agri-Business Consortium, noted that capitalism is still a relatively new way of organizing the economy (compared to top down approaches like feudalism that lasted centuries) and is still evolving. Over 600 participants working in countless ways and across sectors to create social value attended the Summit, and this community is expanding. Although social enterprise is mostly operating in niche markets at present, the values it allows investors and entrepreneurs to practice while pursuing well-designed business strategies may impart new principles on the global model of entrepreneurship.

Chronic renal failure
Alleviating chronic renal failure with homoeopathy
Chronic renal failure is a disease of which the evolution may be delayed by a homoeopathic treatment. The kidneys are organs that have several important functions in the body, among which one consists of regulating the amount of fluid and minerals that are distributed into the cells. They also help develop the hormones necessary to the regulation of arterial pressure and to the production of red blood cells. Finally, they separate the blood from the urine and eliminate liquid waste.
When the kidneys struggle to fulfil these functions, and when that inability evolves slowly and gradually, the patient is confronted to chronic renal failure. This kidney function disorder is caused by a reduction in the amount of nephrons, which are the kidney’s basic structural and functional blood-filtering units responsible for the production of urine.
Symptoms of chronic renal failure
The symptoms are subtle and not very visible which means that a person may have this problem for years without realizing it. The first symptoms are fatigue accompanied by dark and cloudy urine. Sometimes the urine may be tinged with blood. In addition, urination is less substantial, although it frequently occurs.
In case the disease starts to become complicated, other symptoms appear such as mental confusion, convulsions and increased susceptibility to infections. In addition, bone fragility, the onset of hypertension and an abnormal increase or decrease in the amount of minerals contained in the blood may also occur. Over time, the disease leads to complications and other symptoms appear such as electrolyte problems, anaemia, dehydration and oedemas.
Treating chronic renal failure caused by a kidney pathology
Chronic renal failure may be caused by an inflammation of the kidneys or nephropathy. The patient may also suffer from sclerotic nephritis, uraemia or uricaemia. In such cases, the indicated homoeopathic remedy is Nephrin Spleen. Besides that, if the symptom is linked to gastric disorders, angina and oliguria, it is best to take Peucedanum graveolens in addition to the ongoing homoeopathic treatment. Medical treatment is mandatory to treat kidney failure, and can in no case be replaced by a homoeopathic treatment. Nonetheless, homoeopathic remedies greatly contribute to curbing the development of the disease. Among these drugs, one may include Lycopodium clavatum, Kalium carbonicum and Ammonium carbonicum.
When should you consult a doctor?
Because this disease’s symptoms only appear years later, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as you notice anything abnormal such as traces of blood in the urine, a significant change in the amount of urine, pain in the kidneys and cloudy urine. Diabetics and persons prone to high blood pressure should systematically pay a visit to the doctor to diagnose this disease on time. Indeed, these persons are most at risk and their weakened physical condition is conducive to the development of this pathology.
Treatments and pathologies linked to “chronic renal failure”
Associated treatments
• Ammonium Carbonicum
• Kalium Carbonicum
• Lycopodium Clavatum
Good to know: Dogs that are older than 8 years old often present the symptoms of chronic renal failure and can be cured by resorting to homoeopathy. A dose of Thuya occidentalis 5 CH generally proves to be very effective in relieving this disease’s symptoms.

Aagaard Glacier
Aagaard Glacier (), also known as Glaciar Alderete, is an long Antarctic glacier which lies close to the east of Gould Glacier and flows in a southerly direction into Mill Inlet, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition during December 1947; it was named by the FIDS for Bjarne Aagaard, a Norwegian authority on Antarctic whaling and exploration.

Weekly Eagle Journal
Reaching For the Sky
Reaching For the Sky
Joe Atkinson
Vale Oregon
Published in International Falconer magazine issue 34 2009
For years I have flown golden eagles hunting them in a verity of ways but I have always wanted to fully explore the possibilities of flying an eagle from a waiting on position, like my falcons. I have over the years had many eagles that would go up and being passage birds they would when given the opportunity catch a thermal and speck out coming down with tremendous speed and power. How then could I get an eagle to go up with regularity and come over my in the manner of a falcon, that is the question that is what I want to accomplish. Eastern Oregon is perfect of this type of flight miles and mile of treeless hills and mountains covered in sage brush perfect to let an eagle go as high as it wants.
Passage golden eagles already know how to soar and hunt and catch game because they have already done all that on their own so the trick is to get one to stick around and hunt over me. When an eagle goes up they really go up 1000’s of feet it is amazing how high they go and from there they can see miles and miles in all directions so looking down at me a small dot running around like an ant must seem well boring.
Just like training a falcon when they are at the height you want reward them by flushing game swinging the lure something that lets the bird know hey when I do this something good happens, eagles are know different. But trying to flush something OK anything under a waiting on eagle is very difficult, in fact I never thought much about it send in the dogs and things flush. And by things I mean pheasants, chucker, and jack rabbits all game that eagles catch in the wild. And that’s the key in the wild because here in Eastern Oregon we have eagles flying around everywhere just about anytime you can see and eagle hunting something. What does this mean it means that anything that is on the food list for a golden eagle lives in fear because they are hunted all day every day , so when my eagle is waiting on over a given area nothing will move, and if they do flush they go just out of the reach of the dogs and that is it, wild game is not going to show itself to the eagle. This presented me with a big problem how could I reward my eagle for doing the right thing, sure I gave her the lure but that is not my goal. I wasted to my flights having my female golden directly over my head not being able to produce something for her which resulted in her not paying attention to me and wandering off. Wandering off for an eagle means finding her twenty five miles away the next day not something I want to repeat as I found her up in a very steep canyon half way up a shear cliff. Thankfully she came down and saved me the pain of having to find a way up the cliff I did however have to carry her the mile or so back out the canyon which on that day was the meeting place for every rattle snake in Oregon. Note too self rattle snakes get very angry when you’re carrying an eagle and they tend to strike.
It took me more time than I care to admit to figure out that flushing game under my waiting on eagle was going to be very hard, I needed more flushing power which would make what ever I was trying to flush more afraid of what’s on the ground then in the air because screaming and running around does not work. I made the decision to add dogs to the team thinking they could create enough fear that something would flush. This in itself does not seem like any big deal except that I have never hunted any eagle with dogs well I did try it once way back with my first eagle. I was walking down a dirt road with my female golden eagle and four dogs looking for jack rabbit slips. A ground squirrel flush and was make a bee line to it’s hole off went the dogs and I launched the eagle. As I stood there and watched I could see eagle and dogs were all going to arrive at the squirrel all at the same time, with one swipe my eagle snagged the squirrel and with the other foot tried to snag a dog! Even though eagle and dogs had all been around each other and I had flown them all together before things changed after that day and my dogs would not go out in the field with me and the eagle anymore. So the vision of one of our sweet dogs getting stabbed by and eagle has remained with me for years. I have had eagles take coyotes so I know full well what an eagle can do to a dog. With all that said these are desperate times and I need more flushing power so after considering some very important factors such as this female eagle is not aggressive toward dogs at all and my dogs have a very healthy respect for eagles I moved forward none the less I was very careful as passage eagles and dogs do not generally get along.
So I added my dog’s in the hope that they along with me could get something to flush under my eagle, so far the addition of dogs has helped as they do flush game particularly pheasants. However not flushing game under my eagle for so long a period of time created a new problem, she was not looking at me so on the few times we actually did flush something my eagle did not react and talk about frustrating! Fortunately here in the USA we can use bagged game to aide in the training of falconry birds and by using baggies as we call them I could create a situation for my eagle that she would see game flushing under her at the exact moment when she came over. I picked a particularly large flat bench area that offered a good area to create a hunting situation and one that I could see in all directions. Like all falconers do I was trying to anticipate things that could go wrong, like how far can female golden eagles fly with a pheasant and if she is going to carry the pheasant do I want major canyons around that she can fly across and more importantly canyons that I would have to carry her back a cross to the truck.
With two changes in the program the addition of my dogs and the use of bagged pheasants created new questions, the first major question was what happens when like the ground squirrel with my first eagle when dogs and eagle all arrived at the same time. Well what is going to happen when dogs and eagle arrive at the pheasant at the same time would she attack them, would the dogs get to close while the eagle was on the kill? Both my dogs are trained to find my falcons and set down next to them while they are on a kill and wait fro me to arrive this has proven very useful keeping large raptors partially eagles from coming in on my falcons. But now the bird they are keeping away is now the bird on the kill they must tread carefully.
The bagged pheasants would as I have said serve me in a couple of ways both being very important if I am going to reach my goal of flying my eagle from a waiting on position. However they did bring there own set of problems the first being that even though these pheasants are extremely wild acting they are not close to wild birds and simply do not have the drive to fly like wild birds. With and eagle up at 4,000 feet plus these domestic pheasant could not stay in the air long enough to be caught in the air and that’s what I want in the air strikes not pheasants getting caught on the ground. I have had to adjust my timing on when I should launch the pheasant if the eagle is too high the pheasant will burn out and land if the eagle is to low nothing will flush short of setting the hillside on fire. One method that has proven successful with this eagle is to show her the lure which brings her pitch down to a more workable height than launch the pheasant.
Typically the flights go like this, I drive to the top of a large mountain that has huge areas of flat ground on the south side, on the east and western sides it fall offs rather sharply this creates thermals which eagles love and my female is very good at finding. I launch her off my fist and she fly’s up to a mile or more out into the valley searching for rising air. Once she finds what she is looking for she goes up sometimes out of sight. She can be counted on to come over and drop down low enough so I can see her but this is still very high to high truthfully. I have the dogs at the ready and as soon as she is directly over head I send in the dogs looking for the wild flush, so far as of the time of this article I have not flush anything wild under her since I started the using bagged game. But what has happened is that my eagle is now coming over me and looking for something to happen around me, that is a positive thing at least now I would hope that when I do get something flushed under her she should react. She has taken to date about half a dozen bagged pheasants launched in various situations that where set up to mimic wild flushes with only a few resulting in the pheasant being caught on the ground which does happen while hunting so I can live with that.

Widow female passage golden eagle
Temp 72’
Wind 3 mph SSE
Wt. 9.9lbs
I drove out into the vast sage desert which goes on forever it’s more like an ocean really as far as I can see is sage brush. Driving out into the *BLM I get the feeling I could drive forever and never cross my own tracks. But that will have to wait for another day.
I found a good looking spot to plant a pheasant in cover to flush under Widow when the time is right. I attached the tail mount transmitter check to see if all was in order and walked away from the truck and launched her into the wind. Widow flew along a ridge line and landed, roust and jumped into the air and caught a thermal and was being pulled up into the heavens in a matter of seconds she was 1000’s of feet in the air and still climbing, I stood and watched her six foot plus wing span shrink down to the size of a pin dot. More than a mile out and I’m not sure how high up she broke off her climb and set her wings and started to come over to where I was standing with my dogs. She is by all accounts way to high I can barely see her, I pulled out the lure and started to swing it in an attempted to bring her down to a more work able pitch. Widow folded up and began a spectacular stoop straight down! I waited until she was roughly the size of a pigeon and picked up the lure which caused Widow to break off her stoop, and I sent in the dogs. They already knew there was a bird in the weeds so it only took a few seconds and sure enough out flushed the pheasant. I had lost sight of Widow so I watched the pheasant rise up and fly gaining height as it went. The first thing I noticed was the sound not of the pheasant but the sound of speed, the sound of something big moving fast through the air.
With the pheasant in a full burn wings just a blur Widow came in over taking it with ease delivering a blow that sent feathers flying in all directions and sent the pheasant falling to the ground like a stone. With a quick wingover Widow was on her pheasant and I was standing there as feathers where still settling down to the ground with my mouth open in disbelief of what I just saw.
I have not reached my goal yet of actually hunting wild game with and eagle over my head, I’m close but not quit there yet. Seeing a eagle stoop is one of the great spectacles of the natural world. Something that will keep me working for my goal and reaching for the sky. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.981669306755066}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '27898', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VDPMR5IXSIEGKEGLTJPGUWPPQC2RR2A3', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6b7f1da3-5a39-4129-945b-cf2912710857>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 20, 7, 34, 7), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.185.146.41', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:NTI5I5F4OADCEAUX6VULDIUBG7CDBVUW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e55a8ddd-7247-4ad0-94fc-d7c6e7291b92>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.joeatkinsonseaglejournal.com/journal/reaching-for-the-sky/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a3d59e69-a427-4b75-b1c0-c387b01131c5>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '2232', 'url': 'http://www.joeatkinsonseaglejournal.com/journal/reaching-for-the-sky/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-150-123-222.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-39\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02796149253845215', 'original_id': '3d3afbb9defd07b6716e367ced56a102eccc18eb929c478f39631057823d7e80'} |
Why we need to reframe our nation's welfare debate
Scott Alessi| comments | Print this pagePrint | Email this pageShare
We've all heard about the problems with government handouts--they keep people poor, perpetuate unemployment, and give "lazy" jobless people a free ride. Republican leaders like Rep. Paul Ryan argue that the Catholic response is to cut spending on government aid programs, to make sure that we "don’t make people dependent on government so that they stay stuck at their station in life."
The best way to refute this stereotype of the lazy, unemployed person living off of the government and taxpayer dollars is with real stories of people receiving welfare. For example, take the case of Melissa Bruninga-Matteau, an adjunct professor with a Ph.D. in history.
Bruninga-Matteau earns a whopping $900 a month after taxes for her teaching job. She lives farther from campus, where housing is cheaper, and spends $750 a month on rent. But the longer drive to work costs her $40 a week in gas. She doesn't receive health care benefits, and she's become dependent on Medicaid and food stamps to get by.
Unfortunately Bruninga-Matteau is not an isolated case. According to the Urban Institute, the number of advanced degree holders relying on government aid is on the rise. From 2007 to 2010, the number of people with master's degrees receiving food stamps or other assistance nearly tripled, going from 101,682 to 293,029. For Ph.D. holders like Bruninga-Matteau, the number jumped from 9,776 to 33,655.
Rhetoric about hard-working Americans being overtaxed so the government can support the "lazy and uneducated" who "don't want to get a job" isn't going to help us out of this crisis. We need to take a long, hard look at why people with jobs, people with an education, and people who are doing their best to support themselves and their families are coming up short.
Continuing to provide welfare assistance isn't enough to solve the problem, nor is drastically cutting that aid and making a bad situation worse. Instead we need to change the entire conversation and start working on ways to reduce the need for welfare among the working poor. Politicians on both sides of the aisle would be well-served to drop the rhetoric and work together toward a viable solution. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '6', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.960347592830658}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '46379', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:CLQSHHEJBOZV64OJLHGNRLQJ73XXR4MD', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6a71af1c-6bb9-494f-b433-7cd5ffd4d13d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 1, 5, 32, 16), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.253.35.27', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:BBFTSGFIAXOHXJ56FCQUZGCIZXG4GNWZ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0fcb60c0-dd9f-4cf3-beff-48f9fbc5173d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.uscatholic.org/blog/2012/05/why-we-need-reframe-our-nations-welfare-debate', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a490eabb-9475-46a0-ab13-353b649b5209>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '372', 'url': 'http://www.uscatholic.org/blog/2012/05/why-we-need-reframe-our-nations-welfare-debate', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.22079169750213623', 'original_id': '326bd3f80050a83c0c0d5d7b9be7ad3b568dc7f388837d015eedfb1b21de781b'} |

Articolo 8
Controlli
1. I controlli delle navi sono svolti da funzionari dell’amministrazione o di un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato, tenendo conto delle pertinenti linee guida dell’IMO.
2. Qualora un’amministrazione si avvalga di organismi riconosciuti per lo svolgimento dei controlli, come indicato al paragrafo 1, essa autorizza quanto meno tali organismi riconosciuti a:
— esigere che una nave oggetto dei loro controlli si conformi al presente regolamento, e
— effettuare controlli a richiesta delle competenti autorità di uno Stato membro.
3. Le navi sono oggetto dei seguenti controlli:
a) un controllo iniziale;
b) un controllo di rinnovo;
c) un controllo addizionale;
d) un controllo finale.
4. Il controllo iniziale di una nuova nave è effettuato prima che la nave entri in servizio o prima che sia rilasciato il certificato di inventario. Il controllo iniziale delle navi esistenti è effettuato entro il 31 dicembre 2020. Il controllo verifica che la parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi rispetti i requisiti del presente regolamento.
5. Il controllo di rinnovo è effettuato agli intervalli indicati dall’amministrazione, che non possono essere superiori a cinque anni. Il controllo di rinnovo verifica che la parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi rispetti i requisiti del presente regolamento.
6. Il controllo addizionale, generale o parziale a seconda delle circostanze, è effettuato se richiesto dall’armatore dopo una modifica, una sostituzione o una riparazione significativa della struttura, delle dotazioni, degli apparati, degli impianti, delle sistemazioni e dei materiali, che abbia un’incidenza sull’inventario dei materiali pericolosi. Il controllo è tale da garantire che ogni modifica, sostituzione o riparazione significativa sia stata effettuata in modo che la nave continui a soddisfare i requisiti del presente regolamento e che la parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi sia modificata secondo necessità.
7. Il controllo finale è effettuato prima che la nave sia ritirata dal servizio e prima dell’inizio del riciclaggio della nave.
Tale controllo verifica che:
a) l’inventario dei materiali pericolosi rispetti i requisiti dell’articolo 5;
b) il piano di riciclaggio della nave rifletta correttamente le informazioni contenute nell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi e rispetti i requisiti dell’articolo 7;
c) l’impianto di riciclaggio delle navi in cui la nave deve essere riciclata sia inserito nell’elenco europeo.
8. Per le navi esistenti destinate al riciclaggio, il controllo iniziale e il controllo finale possono essere effettuati contemporaneamente.
Articolo 9
Rilascio e convalida dei certificati
1. A seguito dell’espletamento, con esito positivo, di un controllo iniziale o di rinnovo, l’amministrazione o un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato rilascia un certificato di inventario. Tale certificato è completato con la parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi di cui all’articolo 5, paragrafo 5, lettera a).
Quando il controllo iniziale e il controllo finale sono effettuati contemporaneamente come previsto all’articolo 8, paragrafo 8, è rilasciato solo il certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio di cui al paragrafo 9 del presente articolo.
La Commissione adotta atti di esecuzione per stabilire il formato del certificato di inventario al fine di garantirne la coerenza con l’appendice 3 della convenzione di Hong Kong. Tali atti di esecuzione sono adottati secondo la procedura di esame di cui all’articolo 25 del presente regolamento.
2. Un certificato di inventario è convalidato, su richiesta dell’armatore, dall’amministrazione o da un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato a seguito dell’espletamento, con esito positivo, di un controllo addizionale effettuato conformemente all’articolo 8, paragrafo 6.
3. Fatto salvo il paragrafo 4, l’amministrazione o un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato rilascia o convalida, a seconda dei casi, un certificato di inventario, se il controllo di rinnovo è espletato con esito positivo:
a) nel periodo di tre mesi precedente la data di scadenza del certificato di inventario esistente, e il nuovo certificato è valido dalla data di espletamento del controllo di rinnovo a una data non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di scadenza del certificato esistente;
b) dopo la data di scadenza del certificato di inventario esistente, e il nuovo certificato è valido dalla data di espletamento del controllo di rinnovo a una data non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di scadenza del certificato esistente;
c) più di tre mesi prima della data di scadenza del certificato di inventario esistente, e il nuovo certificato è valido dalla data di espletamento del controllo di rinnovo a una data non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di espletamento del controllo di rinnovo.
4. Qualora un controllo di rinnovo sia stato espletato con esito positivo e un nuovo certificato di inventario non possa essere rilasciato o tenuto a bordo prima della data di scadenza del certificato esistente, l’amministrazione o l’organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato convalida il certificato esistente e tale certificato è accettato come valido per un ulteriore periodo non superiore a cinque mesi dalla data di scadenza.
5. Qualora un certificato di inventario sia rilasciato per un periodo inferiore a cinque anni, l’amministrazione o l’organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato può prorogare la validità del certificato esistente per un ulteriore periodo non superiore a cinque anni.
6. In circostanze speciali determinate dall’amministrazione, non è necessario che un nuovo certificato di inventario decorra dalla data di scadenza del certificato esistente come richiesto dal paragrafo 3, lettere a) e b) e dai paragrafi 7 e 8. In tali circostanze, il nuovo certificato è valido per un periodo non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di espletamento del controllo di rinnovo.
7. Qualora una nave non si trovi nel porto o ancoraggio in cui deve essere sottoposta a controllo alla scadenza del certificato di inventario, l’amministrazione può, qualora ciò appaia opportuno, prorogare la validità del certificato di inventario per un periodo non superiore a tre mesi per consentire alla nave di portare a termine il viaggio fino al porto in cui deve essere svolto il controllo. Qualunque proroga di tale tipo concessa è subordinata all’espletamento del controllo nel porto in questione prima della partenza della nave. Una nave cui è concessa una proroga, al suo arrivo nel porto in cui deve essere sottoposta a controllo, non è autorizzata in virtù di tale proroga a lasciare il porto senza aver ricevuto un nuovo certificato. Dopo l’espletamento del controllo di rinnovo, il nuovo certificato di inventario è valido per un periodo non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di scadenza del certificato esistente prima della concessione della proroga.
8. Un certificato di inventario rilasciato a una nave impegnata in viaggi brevi e non prorogato alle condizioni di cui al paragrafo 7 può essere prorogato dall’amministrazione per un periodo di grazia della durata massima di un mese dalla sua scadenza. Dopo l’espletamento del controllo di rinnovo, il nuovo certificato di inventario è valido per un periodo non superiore a cinque anni dalla data di scadenza del certificato esistente prima della concessione della proroga.
9. Dopo aver espletato, con esito positivo, un controllo finale conformemente all’articolo 8, paragrafo 7, l’amministrazione o un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato rilascia un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio. Tale certificato è completato dall’inventario dei materiali pericolosi e dal piano di riciclaggio della nave.
La Commissione adotta atti di esecuzione per stabilire il formato del certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio al fine di garantirne la coerenza con l’appendice 4 della convenzione di Hong Kong. Tali atti di esecuzione sono adottati secondo la procedura di esame di cui all’articolo 25 del presente regolamento. Un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio rilasciato a seguito di un controllo finale conformemente al primo comma del presente paragrafo è accettato dagli altri Stati membri e da questi considerato altrettanto valido, ai fini del presente regolamento, di un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio da essi rilasciato.
Articolo 10
Durata e validità dei certificati
1. Fatto salvo l’articolo 9, un certificato di inventario è rilasciato per un periodo stabilito dall’amministrazione, che non è superiore a cinque anni.
2. La validità di un certificato di inventario rilasciato o convalidato a norma dell’articolo 9 cessa nei seguenti casi:
a) se non vi è una sostanziale corrispondenza tra la condizione della nave e le caratteristiche riportate in tale certificato di inventario, anche qualora la parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi non sia stata adeguatamente mantenuta e aggiornata, per rispecchiare le modifiche alla struttura e alle attrezzature della nave, tenendo conto delle pertinenti linee guida dell’IMO;
b) se il controllo di rinnovo non è espletato entro gli intervalli indicati all’articolo 8, paragrafo 5.
3. Un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio è rilasciato dall’amministrazione o da un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato per un periodo non superiore a tre mesi.
4. La validità di un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio rilasciato a norma dell’articolo 9, paragrafo 9, cessa se non vi è una sostanziale corrispondenza tra la condizione della nave e le caratteristiche riportate nel certificato di inventario.
5. In deroga al paragrafo 3, il certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio può essere prorogato dall’amministrazione o da un organismo riconosciuto da essa autorizzato per un unico tragitto, da un punto a un altro, avente come destinazione l’impianto di riciclaggio delle navi.
Articolo 11
Controllo da parte dello Stato di approdo
1. Gli Stati membri applicano alle navi disposizioni in materia di controllo conformemente al loro diritto nazionale, tenendo conto della direttiva 2009/16/CE. Alle condizioni di cui al paragrafo 2, qualsiasi ispezione di questo tipo si limita a controllare la presenza a bordo di un certificato di inventario o di un certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio che, se valido, è ritenuto sufficiente per la convalida dell’ispezione.
2. Un’ispezione dettagliata può essere effettuata dalla pertinente autorità incaricata nello Stato di approdo delle attività di controllo, tenendo conto delle pertinenti linee guida dell’IMO, se una nave non è in possesso di un certificato valido o se sussistono fondati motivi per ritenere che:
a) la condizione della nave o delle sue attrezzature non corrisponde sostanzialmente alle caratteristiche riportate in tale certificato, alla parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi, o a entrambi; o
b) a bordo della nave non si applicano procedure per il mantenimento della parte I dell’inventario dei materiali pericolosi.
3. Una nave può essere diffidata, fermata, allontanata o esclusa dai porti o dai terminali offshore sotto la giurisdizione di uno Stato membro, qualora non presenti alle pertinenti autorità di tale Stato membro copia del certificato di inventario o del certificato di idoneità al riciclaggio, a seconda dei casi, e su richiesta di tali autorità, fatto salvo l’articolo 9. Lo Stato membro che intraprende una siffatta azione informa senza indugio l’amministrazione interessata.

Written in the stars
IT’S one of the great love stories of the 20th century, one to put next to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor — the love between Elizabeth Klarer and Akon, the being from the planet Meton, and the birth of their child, Ayling.
More prosaically, Klarer was born Elizabeth Woollatt on a farm in the Mooi River area in 1910 though, perhaps significantly, it was the same year that Halley’s Comet streaked across the skies.
Klarer claimed to have her first sighting of an unidentified klying object (UFO) at the age of seven, in 1917. According to her book Beyond the Light Barrier, she and an older sister were playing when they saw a meteor heading out of the sky towards them. Suddenly, a spaceship appeared, intercepted the meteor and saved their lives. Klarer had a second sighting several months later, when another spaceship intervened to save her from a tornado.
Cape Town-based science-fiction writer Lauren Beukes, author of the award-winning Zoo City, featured Klarer in her earlier non-fiction book, Maverick: Extraordinary Women From South Africa’s Past, where she outlined her story prior to the meeting with Akon. Klarer was educated at St Anne’s Diocesan College in Hilton and after matriculating, went to Italy to study art and music in Florence. She then did a four-year diploma at Cambridge University in meteorology. Klarer returned to South Africa in 1932, and married RAF pilot Captain W. Stafford Phillips, who taught her to fly.
In 1937, the couple experienced a UFO sighting. According to Beukes, “they were en route from Durban to Baragwanath airfield in a Leopard Moth, when a huge pulsating sphere with a slightly raised dome pulled level with their plane over the Drakensberg … [Stafford] immediately launched into evasive manoeuvres, ducking and banking away. The ship paced them easily, cyclically flashing through white, blue and yellow, before it flipped on its side, rolled away like a wheel and then, with a burst of light, vanished. As soon as they landed, Stafford filed a detailed report to headquarters in Pretoria. Unfortunately, the South African Air Force has no record of it.”
The couple subsequently relocated to England, when Stafford was redeployed to the DeHavilland Experimental Station in Hatfield. Klarer was employed by the RAF as a meteorologist. In 1943, she moved back to South Africa, and she and Stafford subsequently divorced. In 1946, she married Paul Klarer, an engineer, and gave birth to her son, David, in 1949. Their marriage ended in the mid-fifties.
Klarer still holidayed on the family farm and in 1954, she saw another flying saucer, this time close enough to see the occupants. Two years later, on April 6, 1956, a saucer landed on the farm, and she was taken aboard. There, she met Akon who, according to her, was the most beautiful man she had ever seen, with grey eyes and swept-back hair, silvery at the temples.
Akon took Klarer to his home planet, named Meton, in the star system Alpha Centauri. There, they became lovers and a child, a boy named Ayling, was born.
“An exhilarating happiness filled those days of quickening life within me,” wrote Klarer, “halcyon days filled with joy, with a life so precious, a part of Akon to be nurtured and loved, a life from another planet to be encompassed with the essence of love and joy that a woman knows and gives to the quickening child within her womb, when the embryo stems from the seed of love. This is the spark which creates the divine soul in human life, a divine soul born in the offspring of a true mating between a man and a woman, that true and complete love of a man for a woman and a woman for a man, which is so rarely found among human beings on Earth, who misunderstand the functions of mating and procreation in the higher octaves of sensual delight.”
Ayling remained on Meton when Klarer returned to Earth and thereafter, she met Akon every year until 1963, during the month of April. They subsequently maintained contact via telepathic communication. Every year, she would make a pilgrimage to the family farm at Rosetta, and visit what had become known as Flying Saucer Hill.
The only apparent evidence of this extraordinary liaison was a ring. “On the middle finger of her left hand,” according to a Witness report, “Klarer wore an unusual silver ring with a large crystal stone. She said it was given to her by Akon.”
Klarer detailed her experiences in her book, Beyond the Light Barrier, published in 1980, though she had earlier attracted public interest and become internationally famous. According to some sources, the British Ministry of Defence showed interest in her experiences and in 1983, she addressed the House of Lords in England and a paper by her was read at the United Nations.
Klarer was feted by UFO societies around the world and in May 1992, she spoke in Pietermaritzburg at a meeting of the Unidentified Flying Object Club, which saw hundreds turn up and many turned away because of a lack of space. According to a Witness report, “tea was cancelled ... when the crowd grew too big to cope with”.
At the meeting, Klarer gave Akon’s views “as if she had just spoken to him on the phone”. According to Klarer, Akon was “very, very angry. And his wrath knows no bounds. All this fighting among the barbarians in our society is wrong. They fight their tribal wars and Akon does not like it. Fighting is not allowed in space.”
The tone of the meeting was quasi-religious. Most present hung upon Klarer’s every word, but there were some sceptics present: “One member of the audience requested her to produce photographic evidence of life on Meton at a future meeting, and observed that it was a little odd that having travelled 4,2 million light years to another planet, Klarer met someone who looked ‘exactly like a white South African’.”
In 1963, Klarer married Aubrey Fielding, an ex-British intelligence officer, artist and art dealer. According to Klarer, “he had seen the spaceships and was 100% behind me in my work on UFOs. The flying saucers brought us together.”
Apparently, Fielding was not bothered by his wife’s love for Akon. “That’s all right with me — as long as he stays in space where he belongs,” he was reported as saying.
When Fielding died in 1981, his ashes were scattered on Flying Saucer Hill. Klarer died in 1994. Her death has not diminished interest in her. There are numerous websites featuring her experiences, and Beyond the Light Barrier remains in print, while every year, April brings stories of possible sightings of UFOs in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
In 2006, Rosetta, Kamberg and Nottingham Road residents held an outdoor party to mark the 50th anniversary “of the area’s favourite daughter absconding with Akon”. They even prepared a special runway in anticipation of Akon’s possible return for the celebrations. Alas, he didn’t appear, though a prankster launched a home-made UFO that saw many claim to have seen the real thing.
In April this year, The Witness reported the sister of Pietermaritzburg ufologist Kitty Smith, a good friend of Klarer, as seeing a UFO in the skies over Swartberg. Doris Scott of Franklin, eastern KwaZulu-Natal, described how six friends saw the object in the clear night sky.
Speaking to The Witness about her sister’s sighting, Smith recalled the fly-by she herself witnessed in January 1984, that she believes Akon did for her benefit at Champagne Castle.
Smith, who until then had never seen a UFO, despite her fascination with them, said Klarer had told her to go to Champagne Castle, where she had met Akon. Smith said she had seen a silent, blue silvery pulsating light, which at first appeared behind a lit-up cloud. It then moved into view, and “just came across the sky, hardly moving”.
Klarer told Smith she had spoken to Akon about doing a fly-past. “She told me that I had done research all my life, but had never had a personal sighting. She said Akon said I deserved one, and they had arranged it ... I like to think they are together now.”

Florida Authorizes Force in Defending Yourself from Force
Have you ever been in a situation where self-defense was warranted? Harmful force to yourself may be met with equal force in defense, in most scenarios involving civilian to civilian confrontation. Self-defense is a defense commonly asserted by someone charged with a crime of violence, such as battery (striking someone), assault with a deadly weapon, or murder. The defendant admits that she did in fact commit the crime, but claims that it was justified by the other person’s threatening actions.
This means that you do not have to wait until you are struck the first blow in order to strike your own, in most cases. You must be VERY SURE that if you deliver force it will prevent the unavoidable injury of the aggressor’s deliberate and violent actions to your self.
In the State of Florida, if you are struck with a garden hose, you cannot use a firearm in self-defense. Yet if you are imminently about to be attacked with a knife or firearm by an aggressor or aggressors, you may use deadly force to prevent injury or death to your body.
There is no need to handle a court case alone in this situation. Self-defense is easily pleaded in court for the most part, yet requires the skillful nature of a determined lawyer to present your case in the most effective manner. Attorney Behr has such demeanor and knowledge of the law to bring your case to the judge and jury in the clearest method. Atty Behr’s Law Office is ready to answer your call today.

\section{Continuous Image of Path-Connected Set is Path-Connected}
Tags: Path-Connectedness, Path-Connected Spaces, Metric Spaces
\begin{theorem}
Let $M_1, M_2$ be metric spaces whose metrics are $d_1, d_2$ respectively.
Let $f: M_1 \to M_2$ be a continuous mapping.
Let $S \subseteq M_1$ be a path-connected subspace of $M_1$.
Then $f \sqbrk S$ is a path-connected subspace of $M_2$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Let $\map f s, \map f {s'} \in f \sqbrk S$, for some $s, s' \in S$.
Let $\mathbb I$ denote the closed unit interval:
:$\mathbb I = \closedint 0 1$
Let $p: \mathbb I \to S$ be a continuous mapping such that:
:$\map p 0 = s, \map p 1 = s'$
Such a $p$ exists since $S$ is a path-connected subspace of $M_1$.
Now define $q: \mathbb I \to f \sqbrk S$ by:
:$\map q t := f \circ \map p t$
Then $q$ is a continuous mapping, being the composition of such, and:
:$\map q 0 = \map f {\map p 0} = \map f s$
:$\map q 1 = \map f {\map p 1} = \map f {s'}$
Thus $\map f s$ and $\map f {s'}$ are connected by a path in $f \sqbrk S$.
Since these points were arbitrary in $f \sqbrk S$, the result follows.
{{qed}}
{{expand|This result immediately generalises to topological spaces; the definition of path-conn'ness for metric spaces is instantiated from that for top. spaces<br>... I agree - a proof should also be included. This one can then link to that one as an instantiation, as a second proof.}}
\end{proof}

MANAGEMENT OF A PATENT URACHUS AND YOLK COELOMITIS IN A PREHENSILE-TAILED SKINK (CORUCIA ZEBRATA).
An 11-day-old, captive-born, male prehensile-tailed skink (Corucia zebrata) was evaluated for a chronically swollen umbilicus. On presentation, the skink appeared dehydrated and weak. The umbilical stump was sensitive, edematous, and erythematous. Yellow fluid was readily expressed during palpation of the surrounding area, suggestive of urine. Following several days of supportive care, a positive contrast cloacagram supported the diagnosis of a patent urachus. An exploratory celiotomy was performed, confirming yolk coelomitis and a patent urachus. Both were corrected surgically, and the skink improved steadily thereafter. This report confirms the presence of a urinary bladder in C. zebrata and is the first report of a patent urachus in a reptile. Surgical intervention and medical management of concurrent infectious coelomitis were curative in this case. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '7136504a5f6a4579055466ef84ef8dcdf0ef5b2588bb0eff8ec8d96ea6ea53d3'} |

WWE Fantasy League Point System
Discussion in 'General WWE' started by FailFaceFTW, Jul 20, 2012.
1. So, if you were to have a point system for the WWE Fantasy League I am starting, what would it be? I will pick the best one to be the real point system.
2. I think we'd have to know what the matches or whatever are going to be like before we come up with point system

How to not hate Anita Sarkeesian
Feminist writer and media critic Anita Sarkeesian has a well-known name in gaming circles. She was less known before she launched a Kickstarter to raise money to make a series of videos examining tropes and women in videogame culture. She aimed to raise six grand and got $158,000 instead. She also got harassment of every type via every venue, including a game called "Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian" where you clicked the screen to punch her face until she appeared bruised and bleeding.
It's important to note that this uproar took place before Sarkeesian even started talking. This was the reaction to her saying she was planning to discuss these topics.
Her second video just came out in the series that her Kickstarter funded, and even though she chose to disable the comments on the video, it was pulled from YouTube for "violating community guidelines." It has since been restored.
Anita is not perfect. Her arguments are not flawless. Sometimes, certain approaches she takes are not the same as the approaches I would take. I'm less concerned about Anita as a role model and more about what it is she is trying to do. Shining a light on something ugly and frightening is something humans characteristically avoid in all things, not just in cases involving women's issues. But revealing those things, and drumming up the courage to look at them and potentially make a decision to alter our actions to do something about them, is essential for any kind of growth.
In a thread on my Facebook today, Sarkeesian was called "A shrill woman who keeps harping on the same topics." These words made me instantly envision a young boy whose mother was asking him to do something he didn't want to do. Then the voice doing the talking becomes "shrill" and discussion becomes "harping."It's easy to see how simple it would be to become angry and sarcastic in response to words like that -- they are critical and meant to hurt feelings.
So perhaps you hate Anita, or what she's saying, or both. But somewhere in you, there is some twinge, some tiny feeling that maybe you are missing out on something. Or maybe you don't want to fight back, but you don't know what else to do. And you sit in front of your computer feeling not so sure about any of it anymore.
This is the ideal time to try a different approach.
Separate the words from the person.
Let's just say, for a moment, that instead of watching Anita's video series, you're reading the same ideas in a book (and there are dozens on the subject of feminism, and a handful on women's role in games as well). Are you still angry about them? You may be. If so, you can focus your hatred on the author of that book, or any of the other books. But notice how you feel when you're angry: insulated, seething, closed. If that feels bad, consider that there are other options, and other ways to react.
Be aware that anger means you are no longer listening.
Anger has an effect on us, as described above -- it limits our ability to process information, makes us say things we shouldn't, and physically alters the body by raising our blood pressure. Be aware that when you are angry, your ability to discuss an issue mindfully has significantly dropped.
Ask yourself what is triggering you.
If you get angry when you watch Anita's videos, what about her approach triggers you? If you're like "She's a bitch!," there's a reason why you think that (and see above). Try writing it down. If your reaction is "She is wrong because..." write that down too. If you're angry, there's another feeling behind the anger. If you're feeling brave, you could take a look and try to see what that feeling actually is. Do you feel that she is talking to you when she talks about men? Do you feel offended that you are being generalized? Knowing your real stance is a foundation you can stand on. Lashing out wildly is not a solid foundation.
Know the history.
"Why are all these women so mad?"Start here. Still interested? Try here. Want to know how it feels to have lived in this culture your entire life? Open an OK Cupid account, use a photo of a pretty woman as your profile pic, and read your inbox. Sit by a construction site and watch women get catcalled. Pretend that woman is your sister or your mother. By the way, it's happened to both of them hundreds of times already and you just didn't know about it. Rinse. Repeat.
Consider the source.
Anita holds a Master's Degree with credentials in Social and Political Thought and a Bachelor's in Communication. What that means to me is that she has a more structured approach to those topics than I do, since I have never been educated in those topics. That does not mean her every word is gold, but it does mean if I am open minded, I may learn some things from her that I did not know. Some of them may help me to form more of my own ideas.
This rule also goes for the commenters, the "haters," and even the men that made the game where you beat her. Before you react to any of them, consider them. Who are they? What are their backgrounds? Do they have the ability to participate in discussions with rational discourse? If not, why are you engaging with them?
Be kind to each other.
You can, even on the internet, be kind. To others, even when they get angry, by choosing not to respond or to gently end the dialogue if both or all participants are not open. If you need to block someone, that can be a kindness too -- it's how you protect yourself when a situation has gone too far. But if you can abide in a difficult situation or discussion, stay in it, learn something from it, by all means, you should. Putting aside anger and listening can cultivate compassion and make you realize you really don't know everything. And that's a wonderful state to be in. It makes you open.

Why I won't buy the Xbox One
The Xbox One certainly looks like a major technical achievement when it comes to home entertainment. In fact, it does so much stuff it really has no right to call itself a gaming console at all -- and that was very much on purpose, as was evidenced by how little gaming actually figured into Microsoft's presentation today. We were shown a console that doesn't even need a remote control to shift between options. Instead, we speak to it, and it reacts to our commands in less than a second.
In addition to playing games, it also allows us to watch television, access movies, split our screens and Skype someone while we watch or play something on the side, buy digital content, and wirelessly sync itself with all of our other devices. It promises a life that flows so easily, we never need to strain or make any effort. Everything we might want will be fed to us.
In other words, Microsoft will make it easier than ever for us to divide our attention between multiple forms of entertainment, meaning that for each time we do so, our ability to be present lessens just a bit more.
As I watched this device's introduction, which seemed like a bit of "Minority Report" dropped into my world as I know it, I divided my own attention between the presentation and my Twitter account. I work in news, which means I usually am plugged in to no less than three chat clients, two email inboxes and five to ten websites at a time, so when I've only got two things going on, it feels as if I am actually paying a decent amount of attention to both of them. Or so I tell myself.
My friends and colleagues were blowing up Twitter with the kind of feedback that you can only relish if you've participated in the game industry for a period of time. Some were fairly straightforward about their take on Microsoft's announcment.
Some journalists felt that Microsoft was taking a step in the wrong direction.
And then, there was the financial reaction, which might be more telling than anyone's opinions.
As impressive as the Xbox One is, I doubt I'll buy one. Even as I type that, I laugh a little -- who wouldn't want such an intuitive, impressive device to be the heart of their entertainment space? I'm not shutting myself down to that, not one bit. In fact, I'm really not even put off by the idea that the console is "always listening," as The Verge pointed out. My cell phone can already track where I am at any given time. You can either throw away all your modern devices and live in a cave or accept that this is a part of our society and enjoy what it has for us.
The main reason I decided I wouldn't want the Xbox One had nothing to do with today's presentation. It only served as a reminder that Microsoft are still, and have always been, uninterested in women. Men buy their consoles and devs design men's games for them. It's a thriving market, and much bigger than the percentage of women who are interested in gaming. They can't be blamed for doing it. But there's some part of me that feels like the efforts towards making television programming is the best they can do at including women in their demographic. Cause hey, chicks like TV.
The other reason I don't want the Xbox One is that, quite simply, it offers too much at one time. That sounds like the opposite of a problem, but I've had rising concerns about distraction in my gaming life lately (and in fact, in my life in general). Personally, I find myself less drawn to the big budget fanfare and more to quiet, smaller productions that are telling stories in a way that is unconcerned with meeting a quota. Kentucky Route Zero perfectly embodied that, and I'm sure other titles will do the same. What felt the best playing that game was that it had my absolute attention. I didn't check Twitter or run to Facebook in the middle of my play time because I was bored or distracted. It held me rapt, and for that few hours I played episode one, I was completely focused on having one pure experience.
Will Sony offer something similar in a few months when the PS4 is unveiled? They might. But I am sure that whatever they offer, it will likely include a wider demographic in its sights. And thats why I'll remain a Sony fan. I appreciate being considered.

Sugar Crush! The Saga of Facebook Gaming
A few weeks ago I had started to notice that Facebook friends were playing an awful lot of some game called Candy Crush Saga. While I've played my share of Facebook games, very few hold my attention for long. In fact, I will even admit that I hold some silent, closely cloaked disdain for them that I rarely will admit to harboring (well, at least until this point, where I have admitted it aloud).
Modern peer pressure is a funny thing. In high school, people had to talk you into trying drugs or sneaking out past your curfew. In the Facebook age, you don't even need people to urge you -- all you have to do is see enough people post about a thing before you end up clicking it, pure curiosity being enough to drive you to see what its all about. And even when I finally clicked the link to bring me to the Candy Crush Saga app, I was kind of grinding my teeth a bit. Gamers that respect themselves (and what THAT means I cannot tell you) don't play this drivel, I told myself. It's a match three game that tries to get you to spend money to buy power ups. It's so cheap. So COMMON.
I played the introductory levels, all the time waiting to be bit by this bug that had apparently infected so many of my friends and their friends. And I saw exactly what I expected to see: a preset path dotted with levels, a ranking system that allowed you to score more to achieve more stars per level and beat your friends' scores, and a whole lot of options to spend money on buffs. And of course, the blaring reminder each time you beat a friend, and the option to gloat to them about it via a post on their Facebook page. Nothing vastly innovative happening here.
Some days went by and I didn't feel any desire to go back to the game. I downloaded it on my phone too, but felt a bit dirty playing it and deleted it soon after. And then a friend played it on his phone in front of me for a while and I watched him play, never feeling particularly aware or interested to play it myself.
The next day, I played for hours.
As I played, I thought about a variety of things. One of them was my own take on "dead air" games, which means a title that takes little to no thought and or/effort to participate in. For me, most Facebook games fall into this category. They can be picked up at anytime, easily forgotten, and easily returned to. They don't require any of the normal cycle that a shelf (or even a downloadable) title may have to go through in order to catch a consumer's eye. They're free, and they're embedded right in the middle of the world's most-used social network.
I hate dead-air games. That's because I like to think. But I also recognize that there's a need for them. They have a calming (read: numbing) effect. They let people feel like they're concentrating without really concentrating. And they exercise puzzle-solving skills on the most basic level. Even when you hit a wall, it's like a rubber wall. You bounce off gently, dust yourself off, and try again without feeling too much like you fell down in the first place.
When I got stuck in Candy Crush Saga, I found myself clicking the plentiful banners to check out what the other Saga games were like. And I found out that there's a saga for just about every kind of game you can imagine, and those are all coming from one company called King. Not sure what kind of factory they're running over there in Sweden, but whatever it is, they've hit upon a formula that works well for them. As a result Candy Crush Saga is like the new Farmville -- just as addictive, and just as good at occupying your time.
One thing that King gets right with these titles -- and an integral part of why they work so well -- is that they cater to the needs of adults. There was a time when this sort of game was exclusively reserved for the forty-something female cubicle slave; any self-respecting gamer would have been ashamed to play it. That was probably eight years ago. Today, many of my friends are in their thirties and find they have a lot more to balance game time with than they did ten years earlier. I talked about the phenomenon when I wrote about the "Diablo Blues" -- its a result of having a hobby that must change in order to fit your needs. It makes more sense to play a game that's already on your computer at work and easy to access then it does to go home and ignore your family, the gym, and your need to eat dinner to fire up your gaming consoles.
Is there a value to these games? There is. Sure, they use a cheap approach I don't like when it comes to how they try to get you to spend money to buy power-ups. And how is that different from DLC packs for games I play on my PS3 or 360? Not much at all, really. But I think the most integral thing that games of this type provide is distraction - a way to shut your brain down and do something mindlessly. And I put a lot of focus on that word: mindless. That word has a terrible ring to it. I stopped playing because I didn't want to feel that feeling. But that's just for me. If you're loving every minute of it, more power to you.
The formula these games have built works, and the numbers prove it. King has pulled ahead of Zynga in the casual web games race, with 9.7 million people playing Candy Crush Saga as of January of 2013 . Despite all my reservations, I was one of those players (and as soon as Plants Vs. Zombies Adventures comes out, I'll be right there with it, clicking away again). But I notice that each time I played Candy Crush, I experienced a feeling of emptiness. I didn't take anything valuable away. That sense of vacancy points the way to a troubling idea: millions of other people are drawn to it in the exact same way, and have the same emotions I did. What does it say for us that we have such a deep craving to "waste" our time?

Kentucky Route Zero, hybrid genres and hounds in hats
I've been waiting to play Ni No Kuni since I wrote about it for Destructoid in 2008. It took a considerable amount of time for that game to finally be released in the US, but I waited patiently. I thought an RPG with graphics by Studio Ghibli would be the best thing of all time, and I was sure Level 5 could deliver the kind of magical gaming experience that I idly fantasize losing myself in from time to time.
The game was boring. Pretty, but boring.
The letdown you feel after waiting for a release that long is pretty major, but it just lent more weight something I was already feeling: that I just haven't felt any real urge to play games at all lately.
This disturbs me every time it happens, and I never seem to remember that eventually it passes. Every time, the phase is disturbed by some game that I never even saw coming. In this case, I was looking halfheartedly at an issue of Game Informer that had been stuffed into a container of unread magazines when the screenshot you see above caught my attention. I downloaded it before I watched half of the trailer. When you know you're going to like a game, you just know.
Kentucky Route Zero has good looks and an intriguing title to match. Route Zero sounds like an ominous place to be in general, like some forgotten highway that could lead to any number of unmapped destinations. Fortunately, that's very close to what Kentucky Route Zero actually is. A five part episodic adventure, you play the role of Conway, a delivery driver trying to locate an elusive address. After a five minute encounter at a gas station, things become very strange indeed, and it's pretty obvious from the get go that you can pretty much leave any idea of normalcy you may have at the door. This is not going to be that kind of gig.
I often find that the best games defy description. It's tough to explain to someone who asks what kind of game Journey is, for example. I typically end up saying, "Well, it's kind of like this, but.." and then trailing off as it becomes evident that words don't really do the experience justice. Kentucky Route Zero is kind of an adventure game, kind of a point and click, kind of like Twin Peaks, and a little unlike anything I've ever played. But it does feel a great deal like some dreams I've had -- some very uncomfortable dreams.
Playing a game like this got me thinking that in order to succeed in this oversaturated industry, you need to tell a story that can literally pull you into an absolutely unique world. Jaded designers will tell you that everything has been done, and that may be true if you rely on the typical genres to define that statement. But hybrid genres seem to pique the most interest for me these days, and I really appreciate the courage that these developers are exhibiting by putting out titles that clearly don't give a fuck about shelf sales appeal. Of course, physical games on the whole feel a bit archaic. I can't recall the last time I entered an actual store to buy a game, and I like it that way just fine. My life has been been overwhelmed by downloadable culture, and I've happily followed suit.
I thought a lot about the dog in the hat, which accompanies Conway through the entirety of act one. The dog does not talk or do cute things. In fact, the game describes it as a sad looking hound -- "the hat and the dog have seen better days"). This heavy headed creature's plodding footsteps beside you as ou navigate unknown highways has more unspoken narrative texture than almost every character I met in a game in 2012.
A dog in a hat.

The Diablo Blues: When the Games Don't Change, But We Do
The word "Diablo" is magical to me. Before 2000, it was not. It just represented a Spanish word that I was largely unfamiliar with other than seeing it on bottles of hot sauce. Since I'm not one of those nutty Southerners that pours it into their Bloody Marys, I had no reason to want to get in touch with anything that looked so purposely unpleasant, no matter how beguiling those demon eyes looked as they gazed deeply into my own from those colorful labels.
That is, until Diablo II hit me so hard I didn't realize I had the bug until I couldn't go a day without playing. And yes, I didn't play the first game until after I had played countless hours of the sequel. I'm one of those guys, and you can call me out for being a late adopter now, if you please.
I wasn't panting on launch day like I was for the recent release of Diablo III. Actually, the game came out and went largely unnoticed for a while. I had never played an MMO before and wouldn't be motivated to do so until Final Fantasy XI hit in 2002, and even then I had to be dragged there by an obsessive love of the Final Fantasy series.
Nothing about the MMO format appealed to me. I had been kindly passed over by the black death known as Everquest, allowed to keep my sanity intact. When I looked at these games, all I saw was a rat in a wheel: grinding, grinding, and more grinding, an endless race which had no real finish line. Being the type of gamer that was mainly motivated by stories with a beginning, middle, and an end, it made no sense to me to pour so much time and effort into something that essentially had no real finale.
Why Diablo II, then? I'm not sure. Truthfully, at first it was fun to play with friends, something I never did much of before as I was always more or a solo gamer. Afterwards, it became something I found myself drawn to so I could play alone, just to run through a familiar area or greet a miniboss (Hello, Rakanishu!). No matter how many times I played through the acts of Diablo II, I could always see myself going back again and again for more.
If you played Diablo competitively, there was reason to return over and over. Ladder characters were allowed access to ladder only items, and Hardcore meant losing your character to a permanent death was a chance you always risked when playing in that mode. The challenge was there. Except (and I admit this with some level of wistful shame), I never took it. Never being a competitive player to begin with meant that I could happily play Diablo II solo, just clicking through wave after wave of monsters and progressing on my merry way. I just never had the inclination to take it any further than that, and what's great is that you never had to. It provided plenty of options for every type of gamer.
The announcement of Diablo III was easily the most exciting game-related news of 2008 for me. We had discussed it on and off for years, and even though I periodically played the second game once or twice a year, I really did want a new one. I was even waiting with bated breath, because the rumors were wild right before it got announced.
Jump forward to May 2012, and here we are, only a few weeks into a brand new Diablo universe. I stayed up until 2 am the night of the release, watching the game slowly download onto my computer and feeling celebratory. After such a long wait! It was here! The joy of blissfully clicking my way through thousands of imps, demons and who knows what other kinds of hellions!
The first week of play was just like what I remembered, except with more social connectivity than ever before. Finding my friends was all too easy, and the complication of getting those group games together was gone. Within seconds, I could be in a full party, enjoying all the blissful memories of the past, and finding it all fit so well, like some garment you've had since college and furtively sleep in from time to time because of the comfort it provides. It knows you, because it's been with you for so long.
After that first week, something was plucking at my feelings I couldn't put my finger on. I still wanted to play. And it still felt addictive. The game was just as well made as one would expect, and really great fun to play. Yet I had mixed feelings about playing it as often as I had played Diablo II.
It wasn't until I was struggling to pencil time to play into my current schedule that it came clear to me: I never had to do that before. Because when Diablo II was in its heyday, I was in my early twenties ... and I had all the time in the world to play videogames.
I joke about being too busy writing about videogames to actually play videogames all the time, but this was the first time I actually realized that level of conflict. As much as I wanted to play, I also had a lot of other things I wanted to do. It wasn't just annoying, grown-up responsibility stuff like cooking dinner or taking the car in for a tune-up. I also had other things on the slate, like exercise, seeing friends, and things that include getting off the internet and going outside.
The first reaction to this realization is a moment of alarm: Does this mean that I'm not a gamer anymore? Or that I'm not truly dedicated to the medium anymore?
In a piece I wrote about the thatgamecompany title Journey, I talked about how well the game suited me -- and how its short length, themes, and overall presentation resonated with me in a way that many of today's titles do not, no matter how well made they may be or how much fun they are. Somewhere in the midst of my Diablo revelation, it came clear that the type of gaming we require to be entertained may change for each of us, just as a lot of things we need as we evolve change. There's nothing to be frightened of because we realize that something that once fit us like a glove doesn't fit quite as well.
Will I stop playing Diablo III? Absolutely not. Just because I can't spend ten hours a day playing it doesn't mean I don't still enjoy the game. It's great fun. It's also something that I need a time limit on, because unlike ten years ago when I could play it with no limits, now I find I can only click my way through an hour or two of determined demon slaughter before I find myself wanting to do something else.
There's some part of me that misses being the kid that played it without a care, of course. That was a golden era. But as I learn to enjoy Diablo III in a completely different kind of way, I get that while the way you play games may change, it's hard to lose a handle on them if you've ever become truly attached to the experience of playing them. That being said, a few hours in Hell from time to time might just do me a bit of good.

Walking Into The Light With Journey
Have you ever had an experience with a film, a book, or even a song where when you watched the last frame, read the last paragraph or listened as the music faded away, you simply had to sit in silence for a while and just give yourself time to absorb it, feeling an energy thrumming in your chest and around your heart like a warm shimmering glow, but unable to speak or even move?
It happens from time to time, and it just happened to me. It's a lovely surprise every time it happens. I never know when its coming.
I expected a lot from Journey, the fourth game from seminal game studio Thatgamecompany. The "interactive parable to experience a person's life passage," as they describe it, looked like a stunning effort from the very beginning. I was enchanted with images of a sprawling desert, dotted only with a single figure in a billowing cape. I like isolation. Being a solo gamer for all of my life, I have no issue whatsoever with being on my own in a game, and I admit there was tremendous appeal in the idea of exploring a landscape that was completely empty.
As a child I often got so absorbed in games I forgot the world around me, and when I went back into it, I thought about the game world I had left behind and waited patiently until real life would allow me to go back there. As an adult, this feeling waned and eventually winked out, leaving me to enjoy games, but never to feel quite the same sense of wonder. While it sparked in moments here and there, that feeling of tumbling into a game's universe and leaving your own behind seemed to be a figment of my childhood.
Except Journey does just that. It commands your attention from the beginning, where you climb your first sand dune and see the mountain in the distance, glowing with a slice of light awaiting you at its peak. There's a goal in the distance, and it's calling you to move towards it. And you do.
The magic of the trip you take to reach the mountain is joyful and buoyant. Everything you've done in dreams becomes reality, as you twirl through the air and discover mysterious creatures waiting to guide you forward. You are shown visions. Your scarf grows longer, trailing behind you as you continue to move forward.
I can't talk about the ending of Journey because I don't want to spoil it (of course!), but also because I have no words for it. It's a metaphor for a real journey, of course, and we are all on it. It's open ended. It will mean nothing to some people. For others, it will mean everything. It's a language that some will know and others won't, but what is there has the ability to strike you to the core, and that's something games rarely have the wherewithal to do. A great story is one thing, but a story that is actually your own story is another entirely.
Journey is a game I believe I will play over and over. Perhaps it won't have quite the same magic it did that first time, and perhaps it will. Either way, I know I want to revisit what I saw there, if only to further understand how it made me feel.
For some, all they seek from gaming is entertainment. They want to shoot stuff and jump over things and rack up points, not probe their own souls. After twenty five years of gaming, I've had enough jumping and shooting to last me a lifetime, which is why I've been waiting a long time to play a game as transcendent and genre-defining as Journey. I needed something radically different to believe gaming could still move me, something that spoke to who I am as a adult and who I was as a child, and also who I will be in the future.
This was it.

2011: My Games of the Year
Reading so many lovely Game of the Year lists debates and lists had me thinking about the nature of GOTY roundups in general, why we do them, but also the inherent nature and how it alienates certain types of titles that may deserve recognition. Kotaku bravely discussed Superbrothers: Swords & Sworcery as one of their top picks, and while anyone that played it may see the validity in that approach, an equal number of voices surely will be heard today saying, "An iOS game? What the fuck?"
The current state of games is in an exciting place -- that being that people are figuring out so many different ways to make them and platforms to distribute them on. While games look better than ever before, some longtime gamers also complain of feeling "less engaged," despite high end graphics and big budgets to create them.
I'm notorious for being a picky gamer, not the type to be satisfied with the average release. That being said, my GOTY picks rarely look anything like most lists, even though they can share common points. But, part of the excellence of appreciating games as a media art form is seeing how they affect people differently, and in the spirit of that, I'll share the games that meant the most to me this year.
This making the list is not mystery, as I'm a hardcore fan of the series and trumpet about it more or less any chance I get. Still, the Tengoku series has always been incredibly challenging, and to pull off a new title and make it not feel stale, the magic is in the music -- something that composer Tsunku has somehow managed to make work for three games in a row. Seeing Tengoku at its prettiest ever helps with the jump from portable console to the Wii, but its cartoonlike style also works really well on it. I don't tend to enjoy the Wii control scheme, but Minna no Rhythm Tengoku makes you forget about it entirely.
Called Rhythm Heaven Fever for its US release on February 13th, I expect this challenging rhythm title to capture some hearts with its catchy music and hilarious minigames. Tsunku's done it again -- and kudos to Nintendo for localizing this title and getting that there's an audience for it!
I love that one of the most affecting titles I played this year was on my iPhone. Obviously, the game is all the better on an iPad with more room to see, but even on the iPhone it made quite an impression. While S & S's aura of mystery was surely one of its most memorable attributes, what stuck out about the most for me was the distinct feeling that I was playing an unforgettable classic, something I wish I had realized when playing adventure games for the first time a decade ago. That emotion is difficult to invoke, so I applaud superbrothers for this one. I go into more detail about it in my review for GamesRadar, but this beautiful little gem was one of the most unique of the year and should not be missed.
I was worked up about Catherine long before the game's release -- all I needed was a trailer to send me flipping out and wailing all over the internet about how it would redefine how we perceived sexuality in games. In an editorial for Gamasutra, I sketched out a ton of ideas about what the game could symbolize, and a lot of them weren't quite spot on. While the initial trailers for Catherine made it look like a very sexy game, in the end, it was anything but.
Catherine was not always a pleasant game to play. If you dug deeply enough into it, however, you would see that pleasant gameplay would never fit this behemoth of a project -- it aimed to expose something even more uncomfortable than we originally speculated. On occasion it felt heavy handed, but the significance it placed on choices and their consequences was unforgettable. I'm not sure I will ever play Catherine again, but I can't name any other game this year that stuck its hand it my gut and twisted it so successfully. (My post-analysis of the game is here.)
Valve is king when it comes to a polished release, and the first Portal was so beloved it echoed through fan consciousness for years. I'm majorly wary of sequels, especially when I think the story has been already been told conclusively, and so it seemed with this series. At least, until I played Portal 2 and realized I had found the cure for the common sequel -- a story that introduced new characters that were completely compelling, writing that took an event that could be poor in lesser hands (GlaDOS' resurrection) and gave it reasoning and body, and added co-op that felt anything but tacked on. A model for what a sequel should be like, Portal 2 was nothing less than an absolute triumph.
To The Moon is the absolute opposite of a game like Portal 2 -- at least when it comes to budget and production. Portal 2 had a team to give it such shine, whereas To The Moon was created by one person ... and still shone with one of the brightest lights I've seen in some time. This clever RPG was a dream come true for a retro enthusiast, looking right at home alongside titles like Chrono Trigger.
However, To The Moon bravely plunged forward and did something that RPGs haven't done in all too long, too. Daring to tell a story that was emotional and sometimes painful, sketching characters that were memorable enough to truly care for, and accompanying it all with a score that's literally the most beautiful I've heard this year, To The Moon really did something special. It was worth it to borrow a PC to play this game, and I can only hope to see more games that dare to take such bold chances. My full analysis of To The Moon can be found here.

Jaleel White: I’ve Lost 13 Pounds on Dancing With the Stars!
Jaleel White Adam Taylor/ABC
Jaleel White didn't plan to lose weight while competing on Dancing With the Stars, but that's exactly what happened.
The Family Matters actor, 35, told Us Weekly post-show Monday that he's shed "13 pounds" since rehearsals began earlier this year. "I'm like a buck sixty-nine!"
Though he was never overweight, 5-foot-10 White said being in the dance studio has him burning more calories than ever before. "You're dripping in sweat. You keep doing intervals of 30 minutes or 40 minutes, and you grab a quick snack and go back at it," he explained. "I can pop a sweat so quickly now. It's new to me. It's ridiculous!"
The competitor added that his energy is up, too. "I feel in better shape than I have been since I was in college," he told Us. "It sucks because I want to go out and play basketball but I have no time. I want to see what my energy is like and what I can do on the basketball court now, because at 35, trust me, there is a difference between a 35-year-old and a 24-year-old on the basketball court."
Though he's had some minor aches and pains, pro partner Kym Johnson, 35, has given him some tips for alleviating his ailments.
"I'm like a divorced woman lying in the Epsom salt baths with candles and incense, watching episodes of Dexter," White told Us. "It's hilarious!"
Who will go home next on Dancing With the Stars? Tune in for the live results show Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

Choosing Fall Steelhead Techniques
Fall is a period of transition. Changes in temperature, changes in vegetation, changes in fish behavior. The cooler temperatures trigger some different fish feeding patterns and movements. One of these eagerly anticipated movements is the annual steelhead migration.
Genetically, steelhead are rainbow trout, however they are anadromous which means they travel back and forth between streams and large lakes or the ocean. In my neck of the woods, steelhead now are pushing up tributaries of Lake Erie. This means my son and I try to squeeze in as many 1 ½ hour treks up there as conditions and fishing windows allow. I’d love to take my daughter too but she refuses to get up at 3:00 a.m., no matter how great the fishing.
There are several techniques for fishing for steelhead, depending on the stream conditions, temperature, and angler preference. On our last trip, we employed our preferred method: casting spoons into the lake near the mouth of one of these tributaries. In fact, we love this way so much, if conditions don’t let us cast spoons (murky lake, stream runoff too high, etc.) we often choose to chase other species elsewhere.
We made three steelhead trips last year, about 21 combined angler hours of effort, and didn’t land a fish. Perhaps we could have employed other techniques but we continued to chuck our spoons, believing that at any minute, a large steelhead would hammer our offering.
Why do we insist on this method? Well, there are little things like just the casting. There is a peaceful rhythm from launching long casts and the resulting long retrieves. Plus, we usually have a little bit more elbow room than fishing upstream. And the scenery is nice too when standing in one of the largest freshwater lakes. After wading into the lake in the dark on our last trip, my son counted 21 shooting stars before sunrise.
And there are big things, like the hit. Unbelievable. The following fight is great too, don’t get me wrong, but the sudden transition from feeling a pleasant, peaceful little wobble during retrieval to the nerve-rattling jarring from a solid smack and then something large and fast trying to yank the rod from your hands, testing the extreme mechanics of the drag of your reel, leaping in the distance, “heading to Canada”… is tough to compete with.
This method is so exhilarating that sometimes, I admit, we may be in a bit of a stubborn, self-imposed rut, passing up fish that could be caught with other techniques. But when it works, when the pieces come together, that “rut” morphs to a “groove,” resulting in sore arms and anglers, which for the next few days, may not be completely responsive, with mouths slightly agape, staring off into the distance.
A couple of other methods were employed near us during our last trek. The couple to our left were bait anglers. They would just cast out a bit of skein (fish egg sac) and let it rest on or near the bottom. The bite is more subtle as the fish mouths the bait and then moves off. These anglers are in it mostly for the fight. They were hooking up regularly, snapping photos, and then releasing their shiny catch.
To my right was a fly fisherman. Normally this time of year, he’d be in the stream but low water had the fish (and many of the anglers) concentrated at the mouth, unable to work upstream except during a few meager rain events.
Sometimes there can be issues when different techniques are employed side by side. However, some fish were caught near shore so this angler didn’t need to cast more than a rod length or two into the lake. His small nymph pattern fly was suspended near the bottom under a tiny fuzzy bobber, er, I mean “strike indicator” in a slight current that pushed it directly out into the lake, rather than the potential space complication of a side current. He missed his only hit in 4 hours. But he wasn’t there for the hit; he was using this fly fishing method because he wanted to feel the line rip through his fingers. He was the angler in a rut now, unable or unwilling to switch techniques. In December however, with some rain, he’ll be upstream in a “groove.
Even if the spoon bite is “on,” there are several factors to keep in mind:
1. Size
We usually cast 1/3 oz. But may adjust a size up or down until we find what the steelhead want.
2. Color
If you notice another angler hooking up many more types than you, see if you can notice the color (and size while you’re at it) of that spoon. As the light intensity grows throughout the morning, the “hot” color often changes.
3. Type
Not all spoons are alike. Some ride higher in the water column. Some cast further. Some flutter a little wider. My son and I each carry a small box with an assortment of sizes, colors, and types, rarely casting the exact same lures until we have really dialed in the pattern.
4. Position
Sometimes the fish strike right as you lift the spoon out of the water. Did that fish follow the lure in, or do you need to back up because you may be standing in or near the preferred steelhead channel? Or are they holding closer to that steep drop off near the gravel bar?
5. Leader
Many spoon anglers have a length of light line tied to a swivel or snap & swivel. The belief is that the lighter line is less apt to be seen and thus the rate of hook ups increased. However, this addition can lead to more lost fish when the line or extra knots break. Guess I’ll just have to continue my “research” on this technique.
Whatever method you prefer, you may want to check a map to see if steelhead are within driving range. And check the regulations. Steelhead fishing may require an additional fee and stamp on your fishing license. Don’t expect to hook up the first trip; it may take some time to learn where to be, what to cast, and when. Anglers of Erie tributaries average about 1 fish every 3 hours. But just watching (or trying to photograph) the leaping acrobatics of these fish and hearing the screaming reel of a lucky angler may be worth the trip.

Canada's supreme court rules against protection of journalists' confidential sources
Canadian journalists who wish to protect their confidential sources have suffered a legal setback. Judges in the country's supreme court ruled by
8-1 that the National Post must hand over to police documents the paper obtained from a source in 2001 that alleged a former prime minister had been involved in a loan scandal.
The court recognised the public's interest "in being informed about matters of public importance that may only see the light of day through the cooperation of sources who will not speak except on condition of confidentiality." But it decided the public interest "is not absolute." The ruling said:
It [public interest] must be balanced against other important public interests, including the investigation of crime. The bottom line is that no journalist can give a source a total assurance of confidentiality. All such arrangements necessarily carry an element of risk that the source's identity will eventually be revealed.
The leaked documents appeared to expose the then prime minister, Jean Chretien, for having played some role in loans being made to a country inn and golf course in his hometown of Shawinigan, Quebec.
The documents, provided in exchange for a broad and unconditional promise of confidentiality, allegedly showed that the owner of the golf club owed money to Chretien and planned to repay it with a loan from a federally funded bank.
But the bank complained to federal police about what it called an attempt to commit forgery and dupe the Post into publishing its story.
The police asked for the documents and the envelope containing them as evidence of the alleged forgery in order to determine the sender's identity.

Bachelor Season Finale: Live Running Diary
It's the season finale tonight and I'm excited. Very excited. And not only because I want to see if Lindzi's tears will lead to the most makeup-stained tears in the history of reality television (though if you weren't thinking about it before, you'll definitely be on the lookout now). And not only because I want to see the most villainous person in Bachelor history (Vienna is not even in her league) inevitably receive the final rose. No, the reason why I'm excited is because your favorite host and mine, Chris Harrison, has been sending out ominous Tweets since last night. Such as this. And this. Something's gong down tonight, and it's going to be epic.
Another reason why I'm excited? Because I saw this online the other day:
It'll be such a great story to tell our grandchildren one day: "Remember when I found out you were single and put it on my blog, and you read it, and then read how much I adored you, and that totally creeped you out, and you had to get a restraining order, but then eventually you realized that you should give me a chance?" If that's not true love, I don't know what is.
7:07: You know what I'm not excited for? Seeing Ashley on TV again.
7:08: As you may have guessed, I follow Chris Harrison on Twitter, which is how I find out about future must see TV moments like this.
7:57: 3 minutes!
8:00: Over/under: 7 minutes of recaps to kick off the show.
8:03: Only two minutes of recaps. Shocking!
8:06: Chris Harrison just said that this is "the most controversial finale of The Bachelor." Keep in mind, we had a season where the guy dumped the girl he chose for the other finalist on After the Final Rose. So either Chris Harrison is lying or we're in store for some epic television tonight. And Chris Harrison doesn't lie.
8:14: Is Lindzi wearing less makeup tonight or is it just me?
8:15: I've been the nervous cutlery-dropping guy before, but in a dinner interview situation. Not fun.
8:19: Ben's sister is all kinds of awesome. First, getting the sneaky inside scoop on Courtney from Lindzi. And then doing a double-take/eye roll after finding out she's "Courtney the Model".
8:21: "She's a model?! C'mon, Ben." Classic.
8:25: I'm no TV producer, but how exactly is tonight's show going to work? Lindzi's segment was 20 minutes, so it'll be 8:45 by the time Courtney's done visiting with Ben's family. What they hell are they doing for the next hour and fifteen minutes?
8:27: I love watching Courtney put the Courtney spin on history. It's amazing to watch. Like watching Michael Jordan play basketball - just a magician working her magic.
8:29: Notice that Lindzi was speaking with Ben's family. Courtney is speaking at Ben's family.
8:30: Oh no, Julia! Oh no! You've been sucked in!
8:31: It's 8:31. Let's assume the last half hour is for the proposal/rejection. What the hell is happening over the next hour? They can't possibly be doing a Chris Harrison interview with Ben for an hour, can they?
8:32: I'm not complaining if there's an hour of Chris Harrison, by the way. Step aside, Jeff Probst. He's the best reality TV host.
8:34: I'm totally watching American Reunion.
8:37: Ben's mom likes using the word "accomplished".
8:38: Notice that Ben is discussing Lindzi's merits with the family, but Ben was almost trying to convince them when it came to Courtney. "She has depth to her. You saw that, right?" Actual quote from Ben to his mom.
8;39: What? There's two more dates? C'mon. We all know he's choosing Courtney. There's no need to pretend for the next 45 minutes, Ben.
8:40: You probably noticed that I didn't have much to say for the first 20 minutes of the show tonight. That Popeyes Chicken wasn't going to eat itself, you know. At least give me credit for eating fried chicken, watching the show, and blogging while not getting any glorious chicken grease on my laptop.
8:42: By the way, if you had a pool going on when the first mention of Ben's dad would be, it was at 8:38.
8:45: Poor Lindzi. She has no idea that she has absolutely no chance of receiving the final rose.
8:46: Carriage cam!
8:47: Picnic on a gondola is pretty epic.
8:49: "Since your hometown, you've been more open, yeah." What happened after hometown dates? Fantasy suites. So here's the translation: We hooked up, so yeah, you've been more open.
8:51: "...when he proposes to me...." Oh no, Lindzi. Oh no.
8:56: Ben is thanking Lindzi. You know what someone doesn't do before they propose to them? Thank them. No, the only reason Ben would thank someone on the show is to say "Thanks for the good times, but...".
9:00: Lindzi just said "I know you can't say anything" just before she told Ben she loved him, and then Ben said the same thing a bit later. Is there a rule where the producers have told The Bachelor that he can't say that he loves them?
9:01: Just tremendous use of background music by the sound editing team on the show as usual.
9:03: This is how amazingly good Courtney is at always putting herself in a position of power: even when Ben isn't around, she manages to put herself in the position of power between the two of them. During the preview clip of their date, she says, "I'm terrified that Ben's going to do to me what Ashley did to him." Not, "I'm afraid of Ben not choosing me" or "I'm terrified that Ben will choose Lindzi." No no, that gives Ben the upper hand. So instead, she puts him down by mentioning Ashley. The best part is that this happens in an interview so Ben isn't even around to hear it.
9:06: Yet another one of Courtney's many Jedi mind tricks: Courtney and Ben meet for their date. Ben walks towards Courtney. Courtney just stands there and waits for Ben to come to her, and only starts walking when he's ten feet away. No another girl does this.
9:08: How many episodes in a row has a helicopter been involved?
9:09: I just had to Wikipedia the Matterhorn to see what the big deal was with it. Apparently it's an "iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps". Well then.
9:11: Oh, c'mon Ben. Don't tell us you're "confused". The only confusion you have is whether to get down on your left knee or your right when you propose to Courtney.
9:16: Just throwing this out there, but it's been at least two episodes since we've seen Courtney's signature pouty mouth move.
9:18: What are the chances that Courtney made the scrapbook by herself, and what are the chances that she told a producer what she wanted and made them do it?
9:19: When did it become OK for people to sign with just a letter? It's slowly happened more and more frequently over the years, and I don't know what led us to this point. Is it really that hard to write your full name? And also, why is it only girls who do this? How come I've yet to receive an e-mail from a guy with just an initial? Would it be weird to sign my e-mails with only an "S"? These are the things I think about.
9:24: Courtney is a total master of Ben. One minute, things are going well. Then she's reading a love letter. And then all of a sudden she's scared. And now she's crying. Ben doesn't know whether she's coming or going, and thus always feels like he must win her over instead of the other way around. Courtney is a genius.
9:27: Fuzzy camera slow mo video montage time!
9:28: Ben talking about Lindzi: "She just has this glow about her." Yes Ben, but that glow is from her makeup.
9:29: Lindzi without makeup! Lindzi without makeup! Note that they only shot her from her right when she was makeup-less, thus hiding the blemish on the left side of her chin.
9:31: Neil Lane blatant promotion time!
9:32: I like how Neil Lane called Ben out on it being the second time they had met.
9:33: That's some bling there, Neil. But I've seen better in person.
9:34: It's fitting that both women are wearing black dresses to meet Ben.
9:35: The background for this scene is ridiculous. Idyllic is the perfect word to describe it.
9:36: I wonder what would happen if I told my boss that I was going to be on The Bachelor Canada and needed to take a two month sabbatical from work. And then take some time off for media appearances afterwards.
9:39: Speaking of work, someone just e-mailed me at 9 PM. Don't they know that it's The Bachelor finale?
9:40: First girl out means she's getting sent home. I read somewhere that it's because they save the girl he's going to choose for last to get the sunset shot as he proposes. There's way too much daylight right now.
9:43: Oh, Lindzi just realized what's about to happen. Except it's not happening for another two minutes.
9:45: Lindzi is putting up an amazing front right now. Not a tear. Not a tremble. It's pretty impressive, actually.
9:46: "And if things don't work out, call me?" I've never heard that at the finale before.
9:47: I'm giving Lindzi all the credit in the world for keeping it together until the interview/helicopter. And even then, it was kinda majestic the way she broke down.
9:51: Think we get a signature Courtney lip pout when Ben gets down on one knee?
9:51: By the way, I have yet to see anything that I would call "the most controversial finale in Bachelor history", Chris Harrison. But I trust you, Chris Harrison, I trust you.
9:53: FYI, "Lindzi" is trending on Twitter in the U.S. right now.
9:55: Some interesting black leather gloves on Courtney.
10:01: "You're my forever...", "I'll love you forever...". And in the world of reality TV time, I think "forever" might last about an hour. As in, I'm not entirely convinced that they'll still be together on After the Final Rose. Especially considering that nothing about this finale has been "controversial" in the least. I still believe in what you promised me, Chris Harrison.
10:02: Oh, it's about to get real.
10:02: As G-Unit and I always like to say, Chris Harrison, you don't need to introduce yourself. We all know who you are.
10:04: Goateed Ben in the hizzie!
10:10: Who's idea do you think it was to try on wedding dresses to divert attention away from Ben's tabloid photos? Ben, or the Evil Genius? C'mon, we all know that has Courtney written all over it.
10:14: Chris Harrison, you're awesome, but nobody is "reeling" from Lindzi being rejected and Courtney being chosen. You're only "reeling" when something shocking happens. Nobody was shocked by what happened.
10:20: Wow, are they not even going to bring out Lindzi? I guess nobody really cares about her...
10:26: Chris Harrison is doing a masterful job of asking the questions we want answered.
10:35: It's fun to watch them watch their proposal.
10:38: Interesting that when they cut back to the audience from the clip of the proposal, there was no clapping from the audience. Remember, the audience clapped for when they came back from a clip of Nicki getting sent home.
10:39: Ben with some man-tears. He's keepin' it real.
10:40: Where's the "Neil Lane" on the ring box?
10:41: Ashley and JP are not "one of our most beloved Bachelorette couples". You know why? Because we all hated Ashley's season as she slowly devolved into an insecure mess. So let's not pretend like that didn't happen.
10:51: Chris Harrison on Ashley and JP: "You're one of our favorite couples." Let's keep in mind that there are only four couples still together from the Bachelor franchise: Trista & Ryan, Jason & Molly, Ashley & JP, and...Ben & Courtney. Ben & Courtney...not one of America's favorite couples. So by definition, Ashley & JP must be one of the favorite couples since there are only three couples in the running.
10:54: Chris Harrison as the minister would be only way that I would watch Ashley & JP's wedding.
10:55: Chris Harrison uses the same joke for possible baby names that I use!
10:59: And with that ends the greatest Bachelor season I have watched. Ever. I haven't watched all of them, but this one definitely was the best by far. I look forward to May 14th when Mother Teresa Emily begins as The Bachelorette. It's been a blast, but now it's time to bid adieu to the most Chantastic show on television. Until next time...
11:01: Late breaking news - you might see me on reality TV this summer!

LORD TENNYSON, six hundred copies -were made on Dickinson handmade paper, and of them this is number ^ / ELAINE ELAINE LAINE the fair, Elaine the lovable, Elaine, the Iily maid of Astolat, High in her chamber up a tower to the east Guarded the sacred shield of Lancelot ; Which first she placed where morning's earliest ray Might strike it, and awake her with the gleam; Then fearing rust or soilure, fashion 'd for it A case of silk, and braided thereupon All the devices blazon 'd on the shield In their own tind, and added, of her wit, A border fantasy of branch and flower. And yellow-throated nestling in the nest. Nor rested thus content, but day by day Leaving her household and good father, climb'd That eastern tower, and entering barr'd her door, Stript off the case, and read the naked shield. Now guess'd a hidden meaning in his arms. Now made a pretty history to herself Of every dint a sword had beaten in it. And every scratch a lance had made upon it, Conjeduring when and where : this cut is fresh ; That ten years back ; this dealt him at Caerlyle ; That at Caerleon ; this at Camelot : And ah, God's mercy, what a stroke was there I And here a thrust that might have kill'd, but God Broke the strong lance, and roll'd his enemy down. And saved him : so she lived in fantasy. OW came the lily maid by that good shield Of Lancelot, she that knew not ev'n his name ? He left it with her, when he rode to tilt For the great diamond in the diamond jousts. Which Arthur had ordain'd, and by that name Had named them, since a diamond was the prize. I OR Arthur when none knew from whence he came. Long ere the people chose him for their king. Roving the trackless realms of Lyonnessee, Had found a glen, gray boulder and black tarn. A horror lived about the tarn, and clave Like its own mists to all the mountain side : For here two brothers, one a king, had met And fought together : but their names were lost. And each had slain his brother at a blow. And down they fell and made the glen abhorr'd : And there they lay till all their bones were bleached. And lichen'd into color with the crags : And he that once was king had on a crown Of diamonds, one in front, and four aside. And Arthur came, and laboring up the pass All in a misty moonshine, unawares Had trodden that crown'd skeleton, and the skull Brake from the nape, and from the skull the crown Roird into light, and turning on its rims Fled like a glittering rivulet to the tarn : i8 And down the shingly scaur he plunged, and caught. And set it on his head, and in his heart Heard murmurs, "Lo, thou likewise shall be king." HEREAFTER, when a king, he had the gems Pluck 'd from the crown, and show'd them to his knights. Saying "These jewels, whereupon I chanced Divinely, are the kingdom's, not the king's — For public use : henceforward let there be. Once every year, a joust for one of these : For so by nine years' proof we needs must learn Which is our mightiest, and ourselves shall grow In use of arms and manhood, till we drive The Heathen, who, some say, shall rule the land Hereafter, which God hinder." Thus he spoke: And eight years past, eight jousts had been, and still Had Lancelot won the diamond of the year. With purpose to present them to the Queen, When all were won : but meaning all at once To snare her royal fancy with a boon Worth half her realm, had never spoken word. N I OW for the central diamond and the last And largest, Arthur, holding then his court Hard on the fiver nigh the place which now Is this world's hugest, let proclaim a joust At Camelot, and when the time drew nigh »9 spake [fof she had been sick] to Guinevere, "Are you so sick, my Queen, you cannot move To these fair jousts?" "Yea, lord," she said, know it." "you HEN will you miss, he answer *d, "the great deeds Of Lancelot, and his prowess in the lists, A sight you love to look on." And the Queen Lifted her eyes, and they dwelt languidly On Lancelot, where he stood beside the King. He, thinking that he read her meaning there, " Stay with me, I am sick ; my love is more Than many diamonds," yielded ; and a heart. Love-loyal to the least wish of the Queen [However much he yearn'd to make complete The tale of diamonds for his destined boon] Urged him to speak against the truth, and say, " Sir King, mine ancient wound is hardly whole. And lets me from the saddle ; " and the King Glanced first at him, then her, and went his way. No sooner gone than suddenly she began : )0 blame, my lord Sir Lancelot, much to blame ! Why go you not to these fair jousts ? the knights Are half of them our enemies, and the crowd Will murmur, lo the shameless ones, who take Their passtime now the trustful King is gone!" 20 Then Lancelot, vext at having lied in vain : *'Are you so wise ? you were not once so wise. My Queen, that summer, when you loved me first. Then of the crowd you took no more account Then of the myriad cricket of the mead. When its own voice clings to each blade of grass. And every voice is nothing. As to knights. Them surely can I silence with all ease. But now my loyal worship is allow 'd Of all men : many a bard, without offence. Has link'd our names together in his lay, Lancelot, the flower of bravery ; Guinevere, The pearl of beauty : and our knights at feast Have pledged us in this union, while the King Would listen smiling. How then ? is there more ? Has Arthur spoken aught? or would yourself. Now weary of my service and devoir. Henceforth be truer to your faultless lord ?" (HE broke into a little scornful laugh. "Arthur, my lord, Arthur, the faultless King, That passionate perfection, my good lord- But who can gaze upon the Sun in heaven ? He never spake word of reproach to me. He never had a glimpse of mine untruth. He cares not for me : only here to-day There gleam'd a vague suspicion in his eyes : Some meddling rogue has tamper'd with him — else Rapt in this fancy of his Table Round, And swearing men to vows impossible. 21 To make them like himself : but, friend, to me He is all fault who hath no fault at all : For who loves me must have a touch of earth ; The low sun makes the color: I am yours. Not Arthur's, as you know, save by the bond. And therefore hear my words : go to the jousts : The tiny-trumpeting gnat can break our dream When sweetest : and the vermin voices here May buzz so loud — we scorn them, but they sting.' my HEN answered Lancelot, the chief of knights, "And with what face, after pretext made. Shall I appear, O Queen, at Came lot, I Before a king who honors his owe word. As if it were his God's?" "Yea," said the Queen. "A moral child without the craft to rule. Else had he not lost me : but listen to me. If I must find you wit : we hear it said That men go down before your spear at a touch But knowing you are Lancelot : your great name. That conquers : hide it therefore : go unknown ; Win ! by this kiss you will : and our true king Will then allow your pretext, O my knight. As all for glory ; for to speak him true. You know right well, how meek so e'er he seem. No keener hunter after glory breathes. He loves it in his knights, more than himself : They prove to him his work : win and return." 32 HEN got Sir Lancelot suddenly to horse. Wroth at himself: not willing to be known. He left the barren-beaten thorough- fare. Chose the green path that show'd the rarer foot. And there among the solitary downs. Full often lost in fancy, lost his way ; Till as he traced a faintly-shadow'd track. That all in loops and links among the dales Ran to the Castle of Astolat, he saw Fired from the west, far on a hill, the towers. Thither he made and wound the gateway horn. Then came an old, dumb, myraid-wrinkled man. Who let him into lodging and disarm'd. And Lancelot marvell'd at the wordless man : And issuing found the Lord of Astolat With two strong sons. Sir Torre and Sir Lavaine, Moving to meet him in the castle court ; And close behind them stept the lily maid Elaine, his daughter : mother of the house There was not : some light jest among them rose With laughter dying down as the great knight Approach'd them : then the Lord of Astolat, "Whence comest thou, my guest, and by what name Livest between the lips ? For by thy state And presence I might guess thee chief of those. After the king, who eat in Arthur's halls. Him have I seen : the rest, his Table Round, Known as they are, to me they are unknown." 23 HEN answer *d Lancelot, the chief of knights, "Known am I, and of Arthur's hall, and known. What I by mere mischance have brought, my shield. But since I go to joust as one unknown At Camelot for the diamond, ask me not. Hereafter you shall know me — and the shield — I pray you lend me one, if such you have. Blank, or at least with some device not mine." HEN said the Lord of Astolat, " Here is Torre's : Hurt in his first tilt was my son. Sir Torre. And, so, God wot, his shield is blank enough. His you can have." Then added plain Sir Torre, "Yea since I cannot use it, you may have it." Here laugh'd the father, saying, "Fie, Sir Churl, Is that an answer for a noble knight ? Allow him : but Lavaine my younger here. He is so full of lustihood, he will ride Joust for it, and win, and bring it in an hour And set it in this damsel's golden hair. To make her thrice as wilful as before." AY, father, nay, good father, shame me not Before this noble knight," said young Lavaine, "For nothing. Surely I but play'd on Torre : He seem'd so sullen, vext he could not go : A jest, no more : for, knight, the maiden dreamt That some one put this diamond in her hand. And that it was too slippery to be held. And slipt and fell into some pool or stream. The castle-well, belike : and then I said That if I went and if I fought and won it [But all was jest and joke among ourselves] Then must she keep it safelier. All was jest. But father give me leave, an if he will. To ride to Camelot with this noble knight : Win shall I not, but do my best to win : Young as I am, yet would I do my best." )0 you will grace me," answer'd Lance- lot, Smiling a moment, "with your fellowship O'er these waste downs whereon I lost myself. Then were I glad of you as guide and friend : And you shall win this diamond — as I hear. It is a fair large diamond, — if you may. And yield it to this maiden, if you will." "A fair large diamond," added plain Sir Torre, " Such be for Queens and not for simple maids." Then she, who held her tyts upon the ground, 25 Elaine, and heard her name so tost about, Flush'd slightly at the slight disparagement Before the stranger knight, who, looking at her. Foil courtly, yet not falsely, thus return'd: " If what is fair be but for what is fair. And only Queens are to be counted so. Rash were my judgment then, who deem this maid Might wear as fair a jewel as is on earth. Not violating the bond of like to like." ^E spoke and ceased: the lily maid Elaine, Won by the mellow voice before she look'd. Lifted her eyes, and read his linea- ments. The great and guilty love he bare the Queen, In battle with the love he bare his lord. Had marr'd his face, and mark'd it ere his time. Another sinning on such heights with one. The flower of all the west and all the world. Had been the sleeker for it : but in him His mood was often like a fiend, and rose And drove him into wastes and solitudes For agony, who was yet a living soul. Marr'd as he was, he seem'd the goodliest man. That ever among ladies ate in Hall, And noblest, when she lifted up her eyes. However inarr'd, of more than twice her years, Seam'd with an ancient swordcut on the cheek. And bruised and bronzed, she lifted up her eyes And loved him, with that love which was her doom. 36 HEN the great knight, the darling of the court. Loved of the loveliest, into that rude hall Stept with all grace, and not with half disdain Hid under grace, as in a smaller time. But kindly man moving among his kind : Whom they with meats and vintage of their best And talk and minstrel melody entertain'd. And much they ask'd of court and Table Round, And ever well and readily answer 'd he : But Lancelot, when they glanced at Guinevere, Suddenly speaking of the wordless man. Heard from the Baron that, ten years before. The heathen caught and reft him of his tongue. "He learnt and warn'd me of their fierce design Against my house, and him they caught and maim'd : But I, my sons, and little daughter fled From bonds or death, and dwelt among the woods By the great river in a boatman's hut. Dull days were those, till our good Arthur broke The Pagan yet once more on Badon hill." there, great Lord, doubtless," Lavaine said, rapt By all the sweet and sudden passion of youth Toward greatness in its elder, "you have fought. O tell us ; for we live apart, you know Of Arthur's glorious wars." And Lancelot spoke And answer'd him at full, as having been 27 With Arthur in the fight which all day long Rang by the white mouth of the violent Glem : And in the four wild battles by the shore Of Duglas ; that on Bassa ; then the war That thunder'd in and out the gloomy skirts Of Celidon the forest : and again By castle Gurnion where the glorious King Had on his cuirass worn our Lady's Head, Carved of one emerald, centered in a sun Of silver rays, that lighten 'd as he breathed : And at Caerleon had he help'd his lord. When the strong neighings of the wild white Horse Set every gilded parapet shuddering ; And up in Agned-Cathregonion too. And down the waste sand-shores of Trath Treroit, Where many a heathen fell : "and on the mount Of Badon I myself beheld the King Charge at the head of all his Table Round, And all his legions crying Christ and him. And break them : and I saw him, after, stand High on a heap of slain, from spur to plume Red as the rising sun with heathen blood. And seeing me, with a great voice he cried, •They are broken, they are broken! ' for the King, However mild he seems at home, nor cares For triumph in our mimic wars, the jousts — For if his own knight cast him down, he laughs Saying, his knights are better men than he — Yet in this heathen war the fire of God Fills him ; I never saw his like ; there lives No greater leader." While he utter'd this. Low to her own heart said the lily maid, 28 "Save your great self, fair lord"; and when he fell From talk of war to traits of pleasantry Being mirthful he but in a stately kind — She still took note that when the living smile Died from his lips, across him came a cloud Of melancholy severe, from which again. Whenever in her hovering to and fro The lily maid had striven to make him cheer. There brake a sudden-beaming tenderness Of manners and of nature : and she thought That all was nature, all, perchance, for her. And all night long his face before her lived. As when a painter, poring on a face. Divinely thro' all hindrance finds the man Behind it. and so paints him that his face. The shape and color of a mind and life. Lives for his children, ever at its best And fullest ; so the face before her lived. Dark-splendid, speaking in the silence, full Of noble things, and held her from her sleep. Till rathe she rose, half -cheated in the thought She needs must bid farewell to sweet Lavaine. First as in fear, step after step, she stole, Down the long tower-stairs, hesitating : Anon, she heard Sir Lancelot cry in the court, "This shield, my friend, where is it?" and Lavaine Past inward, as she came from out the tower. There to his proud horse Lancelot turn'd and smooth'd The glossy shoulder, humming to himself. Half-envious of the flattering hand, she drew Nearer and stood. He look'd, and more amazed Than if seven men had set upon him, saw The maiden standing in the dewy light. 29 He had not dreamed she was so beautiful. Then came on him a sort of sacred fear. For silent, tho* he greeted her, she stood Rapt on his face as if it were a god's. Suddenly flashed on her a wild desire. That he should wear her favor at the tilt. She braved a riotous heart in asking for it. "Fair Lord, whose name I know not — noble it is, I well believe, the noblest — will you wear My favor at this tourney ?" " Nay," said he, "Fair lady, since I never yet have worn Favor of any lady in the lists. Such is my wont, as those, who know me, know," "Yea, so," she answer'd; "then in wearing mine Needs must be lesser likelihood, noble lord. That those who know should know you." And he turn'd Her counsel up and down within his mind. And found it true, and answer'd, " True, my child. Well, I will wear it : fetch it out to me : What is it?" And she told him "A red sleeve Broider'd with pearls," and brought it : then he bound Her token on his helmet, with a smile Saying, " I never yet have done so much For any maiden living," and the blood Sprang to her face, and fill'd her with delight ; But left her all the paler, when Lavaine Returning brought the yet unblazon'd shield. His brother's ; which he gave to Lancelot. Who parted with his own to fair Elaine ; " Do me this grace, my child, to have my shield In keeping till I come." "A grace to me," She answer'd, "twice to-day. I am your squire." Whereat Lavaine said, laughing, " Lily maid, 30 For fear our people call you lily maid In earnest, let me bring your color back ; Once, twice, and thrice: now get you hence to ht^": So kiss'd her, and Sir Lancelot his own hand. And thus they moved away : she stay'd a minute. Then made a sudden step to the gate, and there — Her bright hair blown about the serious face Yet rosy-kindled with her brother's kiss — Paused in the gateway, standing by the shield In silence, while she watch'd their arms far-off Sparkle, until they dipt below the downs. Then to her tower she clirab'd, and took the shield. There kept it, and so lived in fantasy. lEANWHILE the new companions past away Far o'er the long backs of the bush- less downs. To where Sir Lancelot knew there lived a knight Not far from Camelot, now for forty years A hermit, who had pray'd, labor'd and pray'd And ever laboring had scoop'd himself In the white rock a chapel and a hall On massive columns, like a shorecliff cave. And cells and chambers : all were fair and dry ; The green light from the meadows underneath Struck up and lived along the milky roofs ; And in the meadows tremulous aspen-trees And poplars made a noise of falling showers. And thither wending there that night they bode. 31 UT when the next day broke from underground. And shot red fire and shadows thro* the cave. They rose, heard mass, broke fast, and rode away ; Then Lancelot saying, ** Hear, but hold my name Hidden, you ride with Lancelot of the Lake," Abashed Lavaine, whose instant reverence. Dearer to true young hearts than their own praise. But left him leave to stammer, "Is it indeed?" And after muttering "the great Lancelot" At last he got his breath and answer'd, "One, One have I seen — that other, our liege lord. The dread Pendragon, Britain's king of kings. Of whom the people talk mysteriously. He will be there — then were I stricken blind That minute, I might say that I had seen." |0 spake Lavaine, and when they reach *d the lists By Camelot in the meadow, let his eyes Run thro* the peopled gallery which half round Lay like a rainbow fall'n upon the grass. Until they found the dear-faced King, who sat Robed in red samite, easily to be known. Since to his crown the golden dragon clung. And down his robe the dragon writhed in gold. And from the carven-work behind him crept Two dragons gilded, sloping down to make Arms for his chair, while all the rest of them 3^ Thro' knots and loops and folds innumerable Fled ever thro' the woodwork, till they found The new design wherein they lost themselves. Yet with all ease, so tender was the work ; And, in the costly canopy o'er him set. Blazed the last diamond of the nameless king. HEN Lancelot answer'd young Lavaine and said, "Me you call great: mine is the firmer seat. The truer lance : but there is many a youth Now crescent, who will come to all I am And overcome it ; and in me there dwells No greatness, save it be some far-off touch Of greatness to know well I am not great : There is the man." And Lavaine gaped upon him As on a thing miraculous, and anon The trumpets blew : and then did either side. They that assailed, and they that held the lists. Set lance in rest, strike spur, suddenly move. Meet in the midst, and there so furiously Shock, that a man far-off might well perceive. If any man that day were left afield. The hard earth shake, and a low thunder of arms. And Lancelot bode a little, till he saw Which were the weaker ; then he hurl'd into it Against the stronger ; little need to speak Of Lancelot in his glory : King, duke, earl. Count, baron — whom he smote, he overthrew. 33 )UT in the field were Lancelot's kith and kin. Ranged with the Table Round that held the lists. Strong men, and wrathful that a stranger knight Should do and almost overdo the dttds Of Lancelot; and one said to the other, "Lo! What is he ? I do not mean the force alone. The grace and versatility of the man — Is it not Lancelot!" "When has Lancelot worn Favor of any lady in the lists ? Not such his wont, as we, that know him, know." "How then? who then ?" a fury seized on them, A fiery family passion for the name Of Lancelot, and a glory one with theirs. They couch 'd their spears and prick'd their steeds and thus. Their plumes driv'n backward by the wind they made In moving, all together down upon him Bare, as a wild wave in the wild North-sea, Green-glimmering toward the summit, bears, with all Its stormy crests that smoke against the skies, Down on a bark, and overbears the bark. And him that helms it, so they overbore Sir Lancelot and his charger, and a spear Down-glancing lamed the charger, and a spear Prick'd sharply his own cuirass and the head Pierced thro' his side, and there snapt, and remain'd. 34 HEN Sir Lavaine did well and wof- shipfully ; He bore a knight of old repute to the earth. And brought his horse to Lancelot where he lay. He up the side, sweating with agony, got. But thought to do while he might yet endure And being lustily holpen by the rest. His party, — tho' it seem'd half-miracle To those he fought with — drave his kith and kin. And all the Table Round that held the lists. Back. to the barrier; then the heralds blew Proclaiming his the prize, who wore the sleeve Of scarlet, and the pearls ; and all the knights His party, cried "Advance, and take thy prize The diamond"; but he answer'd, "Diamond me No diamonds I for God's love, a little air ! Prize me no prizes, for my prize is death ! Hence will I and I charge you, follow me not." E spoke, and vanish 'd suddenly from the field With young Lavaine into the poplar grove. There from his charger down he slid, and sat. Gasping to Sir Lavaine, "Draw the lancehead"; "Ah, my sweet lord. Sir Lancelot," said Lavaine, "I dread me, if I draw it, you will die." But he, " I die already with it : draw — Draw" — and Lavaine drew, and that other gave A marvellous great shriek and ghastly groan, 35 And half his blood burst forth, and down he sank For the pure pain, and wholly swoon'd away. Then came the hermit out and bare him in. There stanch'd his wound ; and there, in daily doubt Whether to live or die. for many a week Hid from the wide world's rumor by the grove Of poplars with their noise of falling showers. And ever-tremulous aspen-trees, he lay. UT on that day when Lancelot fled the lists. His party, knights of utmost North and West, Lords of waste marches, kings of desolate isles. Came round their great Pendragon, saying to him, "Lo, Sire, our knight thro' whom we won the day Hath gone sore wounded, and hath left his prize Untaken, crying that his prize is death." "Heaven hinder," said the King," "that such an one. So great a knight as we have seen to-day — He seem'd to me another Lancelot — Yea, twenty times I thought him Lancelot — He must not pass uncared for, Gawain, rise. My nephew, and ride forth and find ths knight. Wounded and wearied, needs must he be near. I charge you that you get at once to horse. And, knights and kings, there breathes not one of you Will deem this prize of ours is rashly given : His prowess was too wondrous. We will do him No customary honor : since the knight Came not to us, of us to claim the prize. Ourselves will send it after. Wherefore take 36 This diamond, and deliver it, and return. And bring us what he is and how he fares. And cease not from your quest, until you find." saying from the carven flowef above. To which it made a restless heart, he took. And gave, the diamond : then from where he sat At Arthur's right, with smiling face arose. With smiling face and frowning heart, a Prince In the mid might and flourish of his May, Gawain, surnamed The Courteous, fair and strong. And after Lancelot, Tristram, and Geraint And Lamorack, a good knight, but therewithal Sir Modred's brother, of a crafty house. Nor often loyal to his word, and now Wroth that the king's command to sally forth In quest of whom he knew not, made him leave The banquet, and concourse of knights and kings. O all in wrath he got to horse and went; While Arthur to the banquet, dark in mood. Past, thinking, "Is it Lancelot who has come Despite the wound he spake of, all for gain Of glory, and has added wound to wound. And ridd'n away to die ?" So fear'd the King. And, after two days' tarriance there, return'd. Then when he saw the Queen, embracing, ask'd. 37 "Love, are you yet so sick?'' "Nay, lofd," she said. "And where is Lancelot?" Then the Queen amazed, "Was he not with you? won he not your prize?" "Nay. but one like him." "Why that like was he." And when the King demanded how she knew. Said, "Lord, no sooner had you parted from us. Than Lancelot told me of a common talk That men went down before his spear at a touch. But knowing he was Lancelot ; his great name Conquer'd ; and therefore would he hide his name From all men, e'en the king, and to this end Had made the pretext of a hindering wound. That he might joust unknown of all, and learn If his old prowess were in aught decay 'd : And added, 'Our true Arthur, when he learns. Will well allow my pretext, as for gain Of purer glory.' " Then replied the King : "Far lovelier in our Lancelot had it been. In lieu of idly dallying with the truth. To have trusted me as he has trusted you. Surely his king and most familiar friend Might well have kept his secret. True, indeed. Albeit I know my knights fantastical. So fine a fear in our large Lancelot Must needs have moved my laughter: now remains But little cause for laughter : his own kin — 111 news, my Queen, for all who love him, these ! His kith and kin, not knowing, set upon him ; So that he went sore wounded from the field : Yet good news too : for goodly hopes are mine That Lancelot is no more a lonely heart. He wore, against his wont, upon his helm 38 A sleeve of scarlet, bfoidered with great pearls. Some gentle maiden's gift." "Yea. lord," she said, "Your hopes are mine," and saying that she choked. And sharply turn'd about to hide her face. Moved to her chamber, and there flung herself Down on the great King's couch, and writhed upon it. And clench'd her fingers till they bit the palm. And shriek'd out "traitor" to the unhearing wall. Then flash'd into wild tears, and rose again. And moved about her palace, proud and pale. ^AWAIN the while thro' all the region round Rode with his diamond, wearied of the quest, Touch'd at all points, except the poplar grove. And came at last, tho* late, to Astolat : Whom glittering in enamell'd arms the maid Glanced at, and cried "What news from Camelot, lord? What of the knight with the red sleeve?" "He won." "I knew it," she said. "But parted from the jousts Hurt in the side," whereat she caught her breath. Thro' her own side she lelt the sharp lance go ; Thereon she smote her hand : wellnigh she swoon'd ; And while he gazed wonderingly at her, came The lord of Astolat out, to whom the Prince Reported who he was, and on what quest Sent, that he bore the prize and could not find The vidtor, but had ridden wildly round To seek him, and was wearied of the search. To whom the lord of Astolat, "Bide with us, 39 And ride no longer wildly, noble Prince ! Here was the knight, and here he left a shield; This will he send or come for : furthermore Our son is with him ; we shall hear anon. Needs must we hear," To this the courteous Prince Accorded with his wonted courtesy. Courtesy with a touch of traitor in it. And stay'd ; and cast his eyes on fair Elaine : Where could be found face daintier ? Then her shape From forehead down to foot perfect — again From foot to forehead exquisitely turn'd : "Well — if I bide, lo! this wild flower for me!" And oft they met among the garden yews. And there he set himself to play upon her With sallying wit, free flashes from a height Above her, graces of the court, and songs. Sighs, and slow smiles, and golden eloquence And amorous adulation, till the maid Rebell'd against it, saying to him. "Prince, O loyal nephew of our noble King, Why ask you not to see the shield he left. Whence you might learn his name ? Why slight your King, And lose the quest he sent you on, and prove No surer than our falcon yesterday. Who lost the hern we slipt him at, and went To all the winds?" "Nay, by mine head," said he, "I lose it, as we lose the lark in heaven, O damsel, in the light of your blue eyes : But an you will it let me see the shield." And when the bhield was brought, and Gawain saw Sir Lancelot's azure lions, crown'd with gold. Ramp in the field, he smote his thigh and mock'd ; "Right was the King! our Lancelot! that true manl" 40 "And right was I," she answer 'd merrily, "I, Who dream'd my knight the greatest knight of all." "And if I dream *d/* said Gawain, "that you love This greatest knight, your pardon ! lo. you know it f Speak therefore : shall I waste myself in vain ?" Full simple was her answer: "What know I? My brethren have been all my fellowship. And I, when often they have talk'd of love, Wish'd it had been my mother, for they talk'd, Meseem'd. of what they knew not; so myself — I know not if I know what true love is. But if I know, then, if I love not him, Methinks there is none other I can love." "Yea. by God's death," said he. "you love him well. But would not, knew you what all others know. And whom he loves." "So be it," cried Elaine, And lifted her fair face and moved away : But he pursued her calling, " Stay a little I One golden minute's grace : he wore your sleeve : Would he break faith with one I may not name ? Must our true man change like a leaf at last ? May it be so ? Why then, far be it from me To cross our mighty Lancelot in his loves ! And, damsel, for I deem you know full well Where your great knight is hidden, let me leave My quest with you ; the diamond also : here ! For if you love, it will be sweet to give it ; And if he love, it will be sweet to have it From your own hand ; and whether he love or not, A diamond is a diamond. Fare you well A thousand times ! — a thousand times farewell I Yet. if he love, and his love hold, we two May meet at court hereafter : there, I think, 41 So you will learn the courtesies of the court. We two shall know each other." Then he gave. And slightly kiss'd the hand to which he gave. The diamond, and all wearied of the quest Lept on his horse, and caroling as he went A true-love ballad, lightly rode away. (HENCE to the court he past; there told the King What the King knew, " Sir Lancelot is the knight." And added, " Sire, my liege, so much I learnt : But fail'd to find him tho' I rode all round The region : but I lighted on the maid. Whose sleeve he wore ; she loves him : and to her Deeming our courtesy is the truest law, I gave the diamond : she will render it ; For by mine head she knows his hidingplace.'* HE seldom-frowning King frown'd, and replied, "Too courteous truly! you shall go no more On quest of mine, seeing that you forget Obedience is the courtesy due to kings." 4^ E spake and parted. Wroth, but all in awe. For twenty strokes of the Wood. without a word, Linger'd that other, staring after him: Then shook his hair, strode off, and buzz'd abroad About the maid of Astolat. and her love. All ears were prick'd at once, all tongues were loosed : "The maid of Astolat loves Sir Lancelot, Sir Lancelot loves the maid of Astolat." Some read the King's face, some the Queen's, and all Had marvel what the maid might be, but most Predoom'd her as unworthy. One old dame Came suddenly on the Queen with the sharp news. She, that had heard the noise of it before. But sorrowing Lancelot should have stoop'd so low, Marr'd her friend's point with pale tranquility. So ran the tale like £re about the court. Fire in dry stubble a nine day's wonder stared ; Till ev'n the knights at banquet twice or thrice Forgot to drink to Lancelot and the Queen, And pledging Lancelot and the lily maid Smiled at each other, while the Queen who sat With lips severely placid felt the knot Climb in her throat, and with her feet unseen Crush'd the wild passion out against the floor Beneath the banquet, where the meats became As wormwood, and she hated all who pledged. 43 UT far away the maid in Astolat, Her guiltless rival, she that ever kept The one-day-seen Sir Lancelot in her heart. Crept to her father, while he mosed alone. Sat on his knee, stroked his gray face and said, "Father, you call me wilful, and the fault Is yours who let me have my will, and now. Sweet father, will you let me lose my wits ?" "Nay," said he, "surely." "Wherefore let me hence," She answer'd, "and find out our dear Lavaine." "You will not lose your wits for dear Lavaine : Bide," answer'd he : "we needs must hear anon Of him, and of that other." "Ay," she said, "And of that other, for I needs must hence And find that other, whereso'er he be. And with mine own hand give his diamond to him. Lest I be found as faithless in the quest As yon proud Prince who left the quest to me. Sweet father, I behold him in his dreams Gaunt as it were the skeleton of himself. Death-pale, for lack of gentle maiden's aid. The gentler-born the maiden, the more bound. My father, to be sweet and serviceable To noble knights in sickness, as you know. When these have worn their tokens ; let me hence I pray you." Then her father nodding said, "Ay, ay, the diamond: wit you well, my child. Right fain were I to learn this knight were whole. Being our greatest : yea, and you must give it — And sure I think this fruit is hung too high 44 Fof any mouth to gape fof save a Queen's — Nay, I mean nothing : so then, get you gone. Being so very wilful you must go." Lightly, her suit allow 'd. she slipt away. And while she made her ready fof her fide, Hef father's latest wofd humm'd in hef eaf, "Being so vefy wilful you must go," And changed itself and echoed in hef heaft, " Being so vefy wilful you must die." But she was happy enough and shook it off. As we shake off the bee that buzzes at us ; And in hef heaft she answef 'd it and said, " What mattef, so I help him back to life ?" Then faf away with good Sif Toffe fof guide Rode o'ef the long backs of the bushless downs To Camelot, and befofe the city-gates Came on hef bfothef with a happy face Making a foan hofse capef and cufvet Fof pleasure all about a field of flowefs : Whom when she saw, "Lavaine," she cfied, "Lavaine, How fares my lord Sir Lancelot ?" He amazed, "Toffe and Elaine! why here? Sir Lancelot! How know you my lord's name is Lancelot?" But when the maid had told him all her tale. Then turn'd Sir Torre, and being in his moods Left them, and under the strange-statued gate. Where Arthur's wars were render 'd mystically. Past up the still rich city to his kin. His own far blood, which dwelt at Camelot ; And her Lavaine across the poplar grove Led to the caves ; there first she saw the casque Of Lancelot on the wall ; her scarlet sleeve. 45 Tho* carved and cut. and half the pearls away. Stream'd from it still : and in her heart she laugh'd. Because he had not loosed it from his helm. But meant once more perchance to tourney in it. And when they gain'd the cell in which he slept. His battle-writhen arms and mighty hands Lay naked on the wolfskin, and a dream Of dragging down his enemy made them move. Then she that saw him lying unsleek, unshorn. Gaunt as it were the skeleton of himself. Utter 'd a little tender dolorous cry. The sound not wonted in a place so still Woke the sick knight, and while he roll'd his eyes Yet blank from sleep, she started to him, saying, "Your prize the diamond sent you by the King"; His eyes glisten'd: she fancied "is it for me?" And when the maid had told him all the tale Of King and Prince, the diamond sent, the quest Assign'd to her not worthy of it. she knelt Full lowly by the corners of his htd. And laid the diamond in his open hand. Her face was near, and as we kiss the child That does the task assign'd. he kiss'd her face. At once she slipt like water to the floor. -'Alas," he said, "your ride has wearied you. Rest must you have." "No rest for me," she said ; "Nay, for near you, fair lord, I am at rest." What might she mean by that ? His large black eyes. Yet larger thro' his leanness, dwelt upon her. Till all her heart's sad secret blazed itself In the heart's colors on her simple face ; And Lancelot look'd and was perplext in mind. And being weak in body said no more ; But did not love the color ; woman's love. Save one, he not regarded, and so turn'd Sighing, and feign'd asleep until he slept. HEN rose Elaine and glided thro' the fields. And past beneath the wildly-sculp- tured gates Far up the dim rich city to her kin: There bode the night : but woke with dawn, and past Down thro' the dim rich city to the fields. Thence to the cave : so day by day she past In either twilight ghost-like to and fro Gliding, and every day she tended him. And likewise many a night : and Lancelot Would, tho' he call'd his wound a little hurt Whereof he should be quickly whole, at times Brain-feverous in his heat and agony, seem Uncourteous, even he : but the meek maid Sweetly forbore him ever, being to him Meeker than any child to a rough nurse. Milder than any mother to a sick child. And never woman yet, since man's first fall. Did kindlier unto man, but her deep love Upbore her ; till the hermit, skill'd in all The simples and the science of that time. Told him that her fine care had saved his life. And the sick man forgot her simple blush. Would call her friend and sister, sweet Elaine. Would listen for her coming and regret Her parting step, and held her tenderly. 47 And loved her with all love except the love Of man and woman when they love their best Closest and sweetest, and had died the death In any knightly fashion for her sake. And peradventure had he seen her first She might have made this and that other world Another world for the sick man : but now The shackles of an old love straiten'd him. His honor rooted in dishonor stood. And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. ^ET the great knight in his mid-sickness made Full many a holy vow and pure resolve. These, as but born of sickness, could not live : For when the blood ran lustier in him again. Full often the sweet image of one face. Making a treacherous quiet in his heart. Dispersed his resolution like a cloud. Then if the maiden, while that ghostly grace Beam'd on his fancy, spoke, he answer'd not. Or short and coldly, and she knew right well What the rough sickness meant, but what this meant She knew not. and the sorrow dimm'd her sight. And drave her ere her time across the fields Far into the rich city, where alone She murmur'd, "Vain, in vain : it cannot be. He will not love me: how then? Must I die?" Then as a little helpless innocent bird. That has but one plain passage of few notes. Will sing the simple passage o'er and o'er 48 For all an April morning, till the ear Wearies to hear it, so the simple maid Went half the night repeating, "Must I die?" And now to right she turn'd. and now to left And found no ease in turning or in rest : And "him or death" she mutter'd, "death or him/ Again and like a burthen, "him or death." |UT when Sir Lancelot's deadly hurt was whole. To Astolat returning rode the three. There morn by morn, arraying her sweet self In that wherein she deem'd she look'd hef best. She came before Sir Lancelot, for she thought "If I be loved, these are my festal robes. If not, the victim's flowers before he faU." And Lancelot ever prest upon the maid That she should ask some goodly gift of him For her own self or hers; "and do not shun To speak the wish most near to your true heart ; Such service have you done me, that I make My will of yours, and Prince and Lord am I In mine own land, and what I will I can." Then like a ghost she lifted up her face. But like a ghost without the power to speak. And Lancelot saw that she withheld her wish. And bode among them yet a little space. Till he should learn it; and one morn it chanced He found her in among the garden yews. And said, "Delay no longer, speak your wish. Seeing I must go to-day": then out she brake;. 49 "Going? And we shall never see you mote. And I must die for want of one bold word." "Speak: that I live to hear," he said, "is youfs," Then suddenly and passionately she spoke : "I have gone mad. I love you: let me die." "Ah sister." answer'd Lancelot, "what is this?" And innocently extending her white arms, "Your love," she said, "your love — ^to be your wife.' And Lancelot answer'd, "Had I chos'n to wed, I had been wedded earlier, sweet Elaine ; But now there never will be wife of mine." "No, no," she cried, *•! care not to be wife. But to be with you still, to see your face. To serve you, and to follow you thro* the world." And Lancelot answer'd, "Nay, the world, the world. All ear and eye, with such a stupid heart To interpret ear and eye, and such a tongue To blare its own interpretation — nay. Full ill then should I quit your brother's love. And your good father's kindness." And she said, "Not to be with you, not to see your face, Alas for me then, my good days are done." "Nay, noble maid," he answer'd, "ten times nay! This is not love ; but love's first flash in youth. Most common : yea, I know it of mine own self; And you yourself will smile at your own self Hereafter, when you yield your flower of life To one more fitly yours, not thrice your age : And then will L for true you are and sweet Beyond mine old belief in womanhood. More specially should your good knight be poof. Endow you with broad land and territory Even to the half my realm beyond the seas, 50 So that would make you happy : f ufthef mof e, Ev 'n to the death, as tho' you were my blood. In all your quarrels will I be your knight. This will I do, dear damsel, for your sake. And more than this I cannot." While he spoke She neither blush'd nor shook, but deathly-pale Stood grasping what was nearest, then replied, "Of all this will I nothing"; and so fell. And thus they bore her swooning to her tower. HEN spake, to whom thro' those black walls of yew Their talk had pierced, her father, "Ay, a flash, I fear me, that will strike my blossom dead. Too courteous are you, fair Lord Lancelot. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'elaine00tenn_1', 'collection': 'US-PD-Books', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '', 'title': 'None', 'creator': 'None', 'language': 'English', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '8438', 'token_count': '11535', '__index_level_0__': '45063', 'original_id': '1f281199415e0e7fa18db56a1a87039726562bb279faf72d0ac76296370b7dac'} |

It was the concept of judicial review. Marbury v. Madison (1803), is cited as the first instance, wherebythe of the Supreme Court, in a separate decision about an executive action,which is a act of Congress (the Judiciary Act of 1789) to beunconstitutional, which is not valid. This is the main function of the judiciary towards the legislative power in the system ofchecks and balances. In an earlier case, Hylton v. United states (1794), the SupremeCourt decided that a law that was not unconstitutional inestablishing indirect annual taxes.

Childhood Obesity: A Growing Problem, medical information from MedicineNet.com
Childhood Obesity: A Growing Problem (cont.)
PE is being cut more and more every year, and my kids are not competitive and not skilled enough to play on a team (teams around here are very competitive and really select; if you aren't good, you sit on the bench which does no one any good). What can we do to encourage our kids to be more physically active? We already restrict television viewing to one program a day. Can you suggest specific activities?
You cannot rely upon the PE programs or the school or other type of sports programs to meet the requirement of physical activity with your children. As I said with eating, you as parents will have to set the example. Our studies show it doesn't take that much activity to get a tremendous return on investment. As an adult if you were to walk briskly 30 minutes, three times a week that can reduce death from diabetes, strokes, and cancer by some 58% and can increase your life span from up to six years.
So if parents can just spend 20 to 30 minutes involved in some type of activity with their children, whether walking, or sports that may be the most beneficial thing they can do in the early years. You can't rely upon sports or PE, because it's simply not going to work.
MEMBER QUESTION: My son is 11 years old and weighs 143 pounds. I have him on a low-carb diet but he is not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?
The problem is low carb is not always low calorie; it's calories that count. It's the calories you consume versus the calories you burn that determine whether you gain or lose. You cannot rely on low carb; it must be low calorie.
I think it's important the family work with the child with professional help, if necessary, to help the child control his weight so he doesn't become an obese teenager and adult.
Again, the only way you can lose weight and keep it off, whether you're a child or adult, is lifestyle changing, and that must include both caloric restriction and physical activity. That's the only thing that will work in the long term. I strongly recommend a balanced diet, not a high-protein or high-fat diet, and not strictly a low-carb diet. The rule of thumb I use for a diet is five is fine, nine is divine. That's the number of servings of fruits and vegetables we should consume daily. But the average American adult gets 3.1 servings, the average American teenager, 1.6. That will not work, and there will be problems in the future.
Would you recommend that mom and son find a physical activity they can do together?
If you can set the example, exercise with your children, do things today together. We have programs in our aerobic center here in Dallas designed for both children and adults: soccer; basketball; swimming; all sorts of things. If the parent and child are overweight, both can benefit from restricting calories and exercise. Do it together and you will enjoy a bonding you never dreamed possible.
Do it together and you will enjoy a bonding you never dreamed possible."
MEMBER QUESTION: I'm not a good eater. I don't eat fruits and veggies. What can I do?
Just don't give the fruits to the child one, two, or three times; give them 15 times. Don't give up; don't let them be picky. Eat the fruits and veggies yourselves so, again, the children can follow your example.
Keep trying until you find something you like; there is such variety, there is bound to be something you'll enjoy.
There's a whole controversy of the school lunch program and vending machines. Some people feel that the vending machines in schools and the school lunch programs are the cause of American children obesity. I can safely say you could take all the vending machines in schools and drop them to the bottom of the ocean and it would not have one impact or effect on the obesity problem. What we need to do is put better products into the machines, and educate and motivate the children to select the products. That's the only way we'll resolve the problem.
You might say the kids won't select these foods. A study published recently in Great Britain took 12 schools and took all the candy, snacks, and soft drinks out of the vending machines and replaced them with 100% juices, milk, flavored milk drinks, and water. They followed the children for six months. Only two schools lost money, two schools made the most money they'd ever made, and the others at least broke even or made money. An example occurred in a school in White Fish, MT. The principal was concerned about what the kids were getting in the vending machine. He decided on his own he would eliminate pop and candy and replace it with 100% juices and fruit. For the first couple of weeks the children rebelled to the highest, but now they're selling more than they ever sold. If the children don't have a choice, they can learn, they can adjust, and they'll be better for it.
I'm convinced children are more receptive now for the need to do something in changing their diets, selecting better foods, and increasing their physical activity than they've ever been before. I think that we as professionals have a window of opportunity to fill that need that's not going to remain open very long. That's why, for the last two and a half years, I've been consulting with the fast-food industry, primarily PepsiCo and their subsidiaries of Tropicana, Quaker Oats, Gatorade, Aquafina, and primarily Frito-Lay products. I'm happy to say we've now established a new standard.
For example, the new Baked Lay's potato chips have been improved to the extent that per 1-ounce serving, the calories have dropped from 150 down to 110; fat has been taken from 10 grams to 1.5 grams. The saturated fat has been taken from 3 down to none. All trans fats have been reduced completely, and the sodium from 180 milligrams down to 160 milligrams. A total of nine different products have been modified, but all of the trans fats, which without question is the worst fat anyone can consume, have now been eliminated from all Frito-Lay products. They're the first company to do that. As a result, 55 million pounds of trans fats will be removed from the American diet over the next 12 months. It cost Frito-Lay $37 million to retool and take out the trans fats. They did that without increasing the price of the product.
Other companies are beginning to follow the example of Frito-Lay, because the American people are demanding it. My hope is the American children will be leading the way.
Dr. Cooper, we are almost out of time. Do you have any final words for us?
I want to thank the members of the audience who give me an opportunity to convey information to them that is so important. We will never resolve the obesity problem in America, which could bankrupt us in the not-too-distant future, by relying on physicians, the government, or our teachers. We must accept the fact this is a personal responsibility.
I challenge Americans to take an inventory: Are you overweight? Do you know your body mass index? I gave you guidelines earlier: Body weight multiplied by 703 divided by your height by inches squared. Does its meet the criteria for children 2 to 20, or what about adults? If it's over 25, you're overweight; above 30, you're obese. If you are overweight according to those standards, lose weight. Here's how:

Jeff supplies the information and inspiration needed to create a true lifestyle change. So forget about the quick fix diets and weight loss pills. It's time to learn the keys to having a healthy body and mind!
Training Philosophy
One of the best physiological advantages gained from Jeff's workout schedule is hypertrophy, which is the opposite of atrophy. It refers to the increase in size to a muscle, which leads to an increase in strength and endurance due to overload. He is a master at skillfully combining the four dimensions of exercise overload (Type, Frequency, Intensity and Duration) in a fun, safe and effective way.
Flexibility is another important aspects of Jeff's training philosophy. Stretching helps prepare gradual metabolic adaptation, decrease risk of injury, prevent muscle soreness and increase range of motion. Incorporating a variety of dynamic and static stretches into a well-balanced exercise program is essential.
Mental Fitness
Jeff incorporates the psychological aspect of training by advising interested individuals on the best ways to achieve their body image goals. Effectively focusing on the five D's: Drive, Desire, Dedication, Determination and Discipline. This powerful combination allows for extraordinary mental and physical rewards to occur in a short amount of time, which results in a fantastic (cross training) workout while using great time management skills.
Jeff also teaches his clients about nutrition and the importance of creating healthy eating habits. Leverage is a necessity when faced with the pain and pleasure principle related to food. He incorporates the major food groups and suggests what types of food to eat at what times of the day. Remembering that balance, moderation, portion control and consistency are what make up a solid nutritional plan.
Cardiovascular endurance is Jeff's specialty. He is at the top of his game by knowing how to fight atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of the artery walls caused by plaque build-up. This progressive process silently and slowly blocks arteries, putting blood flow at risk. Jeff's scientifically proven techniques get incredible results by switching between aerobic and anaerobic activities. These interval training methods not only strengthen the heart, they will also burn maximum calories to reduce body fat for peak endurance and fitness performance.
Personal Fitness
Jeff Monroe working out Not only does Jeff train his clients to be the best they can be, he also puts his tools and techniques to use in a variety of competitive environments.

Angle Beam Transducers
Angle Beam Transducers CTS Angle Beam Transducers and various wedge combinations are typically used to launch refracted shear waves or surface waves in a test material. CTS designed all of its Angle Beam Transducers with high gain and optimum resolution (GP Series). Special broadband, high resolution transducers (HR Series) can be substituted upon request. All replaceable wedges are offered in standard rexolite or polystyrene depending upon frequency. In addition, special high temperature wedges are available up to 500°F. As an option, CTS can contour Angle Beam wedges for axial or circumferential pipe or bar inspection.
• Weld inspection
• Pipe and bar inspection
• Surface wave inspection
• High temperature flaw detection
• Crack detection and sizing
Angle Beam Transducers utilize the basic principle of refraction and mode conversion to produce refracted shear or longitudinal waves in the test material. The angle of incidence required to produce the desired refracted wave is calculated from Snell's Law. The following formula may be used to calculate the wedge angle (Q1) required to generate the desired mode and refracted angle (Q2) in the material under test.
ø 1 = Wedge angle
ø 2 = Angle of refracted wave in test material
V 1 = Longitudinal velocity of wedge material
V 2 = Velocity of material being inspected for the desired mode

Shivay came to the hall followed by OmRu. He was looking irrirtated. He stared at Anika for a while and soon shifted his gaze to Tia. “Shivay baby thank you so much for agreeing” Tia said and hugged Shivay. “Hmm okay” Shivay reciprocated. “Tia I am sorry but I have a condition” said Anika and she looked at Shivay. “Condition?” Tia asked fearing if Anika again denies. “Yeah before we move on with this I want Mr. Oberoi must apologize to me.” Anika said with a stern voice. “What are you crazy” Shivay shouted in shock. “Yes Mr. Oberoi I mean every single word I spoke maybe you think you are god but it’s not true so please I request you do apologize and from next time I expect you talk well with me” she answered cutting Shivay in middle. Shivay’s mouth flung open in perfect shape of ‘O’. no one has ever dared to answer him like that but Anika is doing it perfectly without any fear. He tried to go away from there but soon OmRu held his hand.
“Wait Shivay she is correct say sorry to her” Om insisted. Shivay jerked off his hand. “Listen Om it’s enough now I am tolerating her just because of my family’s happiness and most importantly my wife’s happiness.” Shivay said, anger could easily be visible in his bluish orbs. “Bhaiyaa you have hurt her and you have to say sorry” Rudra argued back. “Rudra is this not enough that I am still allowing a girl like her at my home?” Shivay said but got cut in middle “I have done Mr. Oberoi thank you for proving that high profile people like you has a very narrow heart, I must go now sorry Tia” Anika said and moved towards the door.
“Anika for me please stop” Tia requested folding her hands. Anika stopped. Everyone started requesting. Anika soon agreed. Daadi ordered Shivay to talk to her nicely or else no need to talk to her. Shivay noticed everyone happy and is spending time with Anika. He felt left out thus he walked away from there. Daadi insisted Anika would stay with them but Anika refused. Tia and Jhanvi decided Anika would go for the tests in a week or so. Anika too agreed. Pinky too went to her room.
Anika went back to her house and explained everything to her mother. Soumya said “all the best didi” Anika hugged her soon. Tears made their way through both of their eyes. “Didi you are the best didi anyone could get in their life” Soumya said. Anika pulled out of the hug and noticed the puffed up eyes of Soumya. “What happened to my Sumo wrestler haan? Why is she crying?” Anika asked wiping Soumya’s tears. “You are so good but then also this world humiliates you, I have never seen falling you weak and didi I promise if you fall weak I will be your strength at that time” Soumya said hugging Anika back. “Pagal ladki” Anika chuckled. AniYa’s mother blessed their bonding. She came forward and hugged both of her daughters.

In those times of Cold War tensions epitomised by the scar of barbed wire and concrete running the country’s erstwhile capital, especially in the latter years, football acted as a bridge to many in the eastern sector. Whenever a team from the other side of the divide visited an Eastern Bloc country for a European competition tie, there was a collective clamour for tickets. It was hardly the sort of ‘collectivist’ movement desired by the authorities in the east, but illustrated both a desire to see the stars from the other side of the political divide, and a sustained sense of belonging, a bond that remained strong if restrained by the edifice of a wall.
Even in the fifties, it was not particularly unusual for clubs from different sides of that divided country to play friendly games. It was a way to keep at least a small measure of contact in place. Indeed, in what almost amounted to an ‘All-Germany’ play-off in 1956, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, who had been West German champions in 1951 and 1953, also finishing as runners-up in the following two years, played against Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, at the time champions of East Germany. The game, played out at the Zentralstadion at Leipzig, drew massive interest with upwards of half-a-million applications made for tickets, far outstripping supply many times over. The crowd, lucky enough to be able to attend saw the team from the west triumph in a goal glut of a game by 3-5.
Across all of the club games between teams from east and west, it was usually the way that the west ran out winners. The authorities in the east would doubtless dearly have loved to trumpet the success of the communist system over the corrupt capitalist west, but the reality was what the teams from the DDR were usually just that bit weaker. As Cold War tensions heightened, in the sixties, the opportunity to play such games dwindled away. At least the teams from the east weren’t losing any more, but when draw for the finals of the 1974 World Cup was made, chance – or fate depending on your preference – offered up an opportunity for the ‘national’ teams to play each other. Now it was more than mere club pride at stake. Should the East German team prevail it would be an potential moment to paint the result as a major coup and significant victory for the socialist system
The draw for the competition took place in Frankfurt on 5 January 1974. There were four groups, with West Germany as the hosts in Group One, and the other previous winners, Brazil, Uruguay and Italy heading the remaining groups. The drawing of the teams to fill in each of the remaining slots in each group was made entrusted to the innocent hand of a young boy selected from the Schöneberger Sängerknaben boys choir of Berlin. Be it irony, divine intervention, or merely the playing out of the cards dealt by chance, but the youngster from the divided city initially provoked gasps, and then applause, as he drew out the token that would mean a 90-minute reunification of Germany on the football field, separated only by white lines rather than red ones and an edifice of concrete.
As hosts, of course, West Germany had no need to go through an arduous qualification campaign, but for the East Germans, a group including Romania, Finland and Albania had to be negotiated before they could take their place at the football world’s four-yearly jamboree. Despite being run close by Romania, with both teams winning their home games against the other, the team from Bucharest slipped up with a 1-1 draw in Finland, whilst the East Germans won all of their remaining fixtures to take their place in the Finals.
Alongside the two Germanys in Group One, were Chile and Australia, and as the draw came together, and surely as drama would require, the final game of the group would be between the hosts and their separated brethren.
The tournament would begin in mid-April, but a month before that, players from East Germany sounded a warning that perhaps their football was reaching a new height when FC Magdeburg, under the astute and iconoclast coach Heinz Krügel, delivered the European Cup Winners Cup, becoming the first and – latterly proven to be – only East German club to lift a major European trophy. To be fair though, clubs in the west though were hardly struggling, and Bayern München lifted the European Cup a few days after Magdeburg’s triumph. They would go on to retain Europe’s premier club trophy for the next two years as well.
The group stages of the 1974 World Cup Finals started positively for both of the German teams. A fairly scrappy opening game of the tournament saw West Germany get the better of Chile thanks to a single strike from Paul Breitner, whilst Georg Buschner’s East Germany secured a 2-0 victory over Australia thanks to an own goal by Curran, before confirming the win with a strike from Hansa Rostock’s Joachim Streich.
In the following round, with the always difficult first game now safely behind them and the points in their pockets, veteran coach, Helmut Schön, would see his West Germany team overcome the Aussies with some ease. Three goals coming from Overath, Cullmann and ‘Der Bomber’ Gerd Müller without reply were more than enough to account for the boys from ‘Down Under.’ The hosts were clearly finding their stride. At the same time though, for East Germany, the going was somewhat tougher. In a tense game against the South Americans, Magdeburg striker, Martin Hoffmann, gave them the lead after 55 minutes, but an equaliser by Sergio Ahumada, with 20 or so minutes to play, kept Chilean dreams alive – at least for a while.
In these more innocent – some may say ‘naïve’ times, the last games of the group were not played simultaneously. That was an innovation that FIFA decided to adopt after another West Germany group finale game in 1982 left a nasty smell of collusion in the air. At this tournament however, Chile faced off with Australia three-and-a-half before the all-German squabble, and a 0-0 draw meant that neither could now qualify. All that was left to be decided was who, of the two German teams, would win the group, and which regime would be able to claim sporting hegemony for their particular political doctrine.
The game, that had been discussed in as many political circles as sporting ones since that choirboy’s hand drew out the East Germany ball back in January, took place on 22 June. Five months of anticipation, anxiety and apprehension were to be played out in 90 minutes of football. As well as the inevitable political attention though, it’s important to note that on both sides of the border, there was also huge public interest, not so much perhaps to promote any particular political philosophy, but more the case that here was a touchpoint, a nexus, between the divided country, and more pertinently, the divided people.
It would be of little surprise that a number of people living in the East were keen to see West Germany triumph. Both teams were seen as representing Germany, so there was little if any national rivalry, and a result the other way would only bolster an unpopular regime, keen to build its renown on sporting exploits, no matter how they were gained, as later events in a number of other sports would reveal.
In the opinion of most pundits the West German team was seen to be the more accomplished and likely to prevail. This wasn’t merely due to the contrasting performances of the two teams in the tournament so for. Neither was it because Schön’s team were reigning European champions, and any ‘home’ advantage they held would be arguable at best. The key factor was that they were perceived as having the better players, the core of their team being taken from the Bayern München eleven that had defeated Atletico Madrid to lift the European Cup. They were overwhelming favourites to win the game and top the group.
It shouldn’t be thought however that the team from the east were going to easily succumb. As well as Magdeburg’s European success, East Germany had won bronze in the 1972 Olympics and would take gold in the 1976 games.
Although it’s difficult to find any direct evidence, a number of reports around the game suggest that confidence was riding high in the West German squad, with a comfortable assurance of victory being the dominant trait. There would also be a massive superiority of support for West Germany at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. Over 60,000 would watch the game, but of that number, only 1,500 or so selected guests from the east would be allowed to travel across the ‘border’ to watch. It’s hardly needs to be said that none amongst that number would be anything other than staunch supporters of the regime.
It should also be mentioned that the West Germany squad had an additional incentive to win the game. Veteran manager Helmut Schön, who was guiding his nation’s hopes through a third World Cup finals tournament had been born in the East German city of Dresden, although at the time of his birth, back in 1915, the division of the country was a long way off. Much later, his family had fled the east of the country to escape the Russian imposed regime. There was therefore a strong feeling among the group that they were ‘playing for Schön.’ It was a theme that skipper Franz Beckenbauer used to urge on his team-mates.
It’s interesting to note that, after the initial ceremonies, as the players were stripping off their tracksuit tops, the chants of “Deutschland, Deutschland,” rang around the stadium. Was this merely for the home team or some kind of statement by the people attending? The pitch had a running-track around it, creating a buffer area between players and crowd, but the emotions streamed down from the terraces and washed over the men on the pitch representing the divided country.
Uruguayan referee, Ramón Barreto, blew for the start of the game. Gerd Müller tapped the ball to Wolfgang Overath and the intra-international game was under way. Very quickly, it became clear that the underlying emotion in the air was one of tension. A desire to win from both sides was clearly there to see, but so was an appreciation of the pressure thrust upon the 22 players on the pitch, each seen to be representing a whole doctrine of life, as well as a nation. It wasn’t quite the Cold War subsumed into a football match, but it wasn’t a million miles away from it.
With the all pervading political backdrop, no-one wanted to make a mistake and caution was the byword. Tackles were tame and tempers held in check as a mutual respect, and perhaps a measure of fraternal understanding for each other’s situation, came to the fore. It was perhaps understandable, but meant that the first half of the game became quite sterile. Two teams more concerned about not making a mistake and losing the game, or crashing into a tackle that may trigger an international incident produced tepid fare that at least settled down the political hype.
A shot from the right by Heinz Flohe flew wide of Jürgen Croy’s right-hand post. The ‘keeper threw himself towards the ball, but it was more of a gesture than a required save. Probably the best chance of the half for the home team came when an astute pass by Beckenbauer towards Müller, allowed ‘Der Bomber’ to roll his defender before squaring across the box for an onrushing Jürgen Grabowski, but although the ball beat the despairing dive of Croy, who tried to intercept, it ran behind the Eintracht Frankfurt wide man, and he couldn’t reach back to turn the cross on target. The ball trickled tamely wide of the upright. Midway through the half, Breitner shot tamely wide, as the West German efforts continued to breakdown on the well-drilled East German backline, offering solid protection to Croy.
It would be wrong to say that there was no threat from the ‘nominally’ away team though. A throw in from the left by Lothar Kurbjuweit into the West Germany box caused consternation as Reinhard Lauck gathered and turned towards goal. Sepp Maier was drawn towards his near post, Bernt Cullmann followed suit, but the move left Hans-Jürgen Kreische in yards of space. Lauck squared the ball across the box, bisecting goalkeeper and defender leaving an unguarded net for his team-mate. In a 14-year career, Kreische would play over 250 league games for Dynamo Dresden, netting almost 150 goals. In his club colours, the chance would surely have been accepted, but this was an entirely different ball game. As the ball arrived with him on the six-yard line, he leant back and hoisted his shot way over the bar. The clear opening had come and gone. The striker walked back with head bowed, to receive a consolatory pat from Jürgen Sparwasser. It would have felt like cold comfort at the time, but later in the game, the Magdeburg player would brighten East German emotions enormously.
At the break, the game remained goalless. The West Germans had clearly been the more dominant team, but as is so often the case, the best chance fell to their opponents. For differing reasons therefore, both coaches would have had cause to feel both frustrated and relieved at the score line.
The second-half began much as the first had ended. One change though was that, for some reason, Sepp Maier had seen it necessary to change his black goalkeeping top, for a green one. So much else though remained the same. West Germany continued to press and a ball by Müller put Grabowski into space, but his shot was high, wide and not at all handsome. Distant shooting was becoming the order of the day, but with East German efforts sporadic and West German ones facing a solid blue wall of defenders to block any efforts on goal, a draw began to look increasingly inevitable. Given the other group results, it would mean West Germany would top the group; the authorities in East Berlin would have to console themselves with an ‘honourable’ draw and progression to the next phase. There was still time for that scenario to be changed though. A scrambled effort for Paul Breitner was at least on target as he followed in on a poor clearance, but the ball bounced a number of times before it rolled into Croy’s welcoming arms.
With 65 minutes played and a few tired legs beginning to show, Buschner withdrew midfielder Harald Irmscher, replacing him with Erich Hamann. A dozen or so minutes later, the move would prove to be hugely significant. On the other bench, Helmut Schön was also looking at options. A few minutes later, removed the teak-tough centre-back, Hans Georg Schwarzenbeck, who always provided the stability at the back for Beckenbauer to indulge in his sallies forward, both for ‘Die Mannschaft’ and Bayern München, sending on Horst-Dieter Höttges. He also took off Overath, and threw the thrusting power of Günter Netzer into the fray. For the next few minutes nothing changed, but with 13 minutes remaining the goal came.
With his back to goal, Uli Hoeneß flicked the ball over his head in an attempt to cross, but the ball fell comfortably for Croy to collect. Quickly looking up, he saw the fresh legs of Hamann, the substitute, cantering forward down the right flank, and hurled the ball towards him. The 30-year-old was playing in one of only three games in which he would represent his country but, in the next few seconds, he would take a leading role in one of East Germany’s greatest sporting triumphs. Running forwards, he looked up as he entered the West Germany half. Jürgen Sparwasser was accelerating forwards, into a gap as the defence funnelled back to cover. Hamann hoisted a perfect ball to meet up with the forward’s run. Chesting past a slipping Beckenbauer, exposing the libero’s less than perfect defensive prowess as he entered the box, the Magdeburg player then fired right-footed past Maier to give east Germany the lead.
Completing a forward roll in celebration, Sparwasser regained his feet to see the small contingent allowed to travel from the east celebrating in jubilation, before he was engulfed by his ecstatic team-mates. The West Germans stood, hands on hips. They hadn’t really threatened to score other than the poor pull-back from Müller that Grabowski had been unable to fully control. As time had ticked away, the draw that would see them top the group seemed like an increasingly inevitable conclusion to the game, but their lethargy in settling for a share of the spoils had betrayed them to their hungrier brethren. Now they had a mountain to climb – and precious little time to do it in.
Inevitably pressure mounted, and a series of free-kicks and corners saw plenty of bluster, but hardly any sustained threat on Croy’s goal. The East Germans locked down at the back and held a firm line as belief and time drained away from their hosts. When the final whistle was sounded, it was the blue-shirted east Germans surrounded by photographers capturing their moment of triumph with Croy and Sparwasser receiving particular acclaim. The Magdeburg striker was well aware of the significance of his goal, later declaring that, “If one day my gravestone simply says ‘Hamburg 74’, everybody will still know who is lying below.” In East Berlin, the authorities would have been in raptures. In the cities and towns around East Germany, the people, perhaps less so. East had triumphed over West. Socialism had defeated capitalism. Fifteen hundred fans celebrated while 58,000 sloped away. But what did it mean?
The victory took East Germany to the top of the group. Normally, this would mean an easier path to progress, but as things shaped up, that wasn’t the case in this tournament. Plunged into a second-stage group alongside Brazil, Argentina and the Cruyff-inspired Oranje of the Dutch, a single point was all they could achieve after a meaningless draw in the last game against Argentina when both were already eliminated. In contrast, the West Germans were pitted against Sweden, Poland and Yugoslavia. Duly winning all of their games, and then going onto beat the Dutch in the final. If the east had won a football battle, the West had won the war. There was a political triumph to savour, but perhaps that was a Pyrrhic victory as well.
Later, players who had worn the DDR shirt on that June evening would seek to play down any political importance. Tall, powerful and blond, every inch the athletic sweeper he was, East German skipper Bernt Bransch would relate that it was the victory that was important, not the opponent over whom it was gained. Goalkeeping hero, Jürgen Croy, would concede that, “It was important because it was the World Cup and because it was Germany against Germany,” but was also keen to add that, “Of course it was glorified by the politicians, but that happens everywhere. All countries try to take political advantage of sports success.” Let’s leave the summary to Jürgen Sparwasser though. Later, when responding to questions about how the goal changed his life in the east, he related that, “Rumour had it I was richly rewarded for the goal, with a car, a house and a cash premium. But that is not true’. Perhaps the result changed very little in the end, especially for the central character in the passion play. In 1988, just a year before the Berlin Wall fell, a 40-year-old Jürgen Sparwasser defected to the west.
For a short while, it looked like the qualifying tournament for the 1992 European Championships may produce a reprise of that June evening in Hamburg when the two Germanys were again drawn to play each other. Political events overtook matters though and the falling of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 precluded any such event. On 12 September 1990, the Deutsches Demokratisches Republik, East Germany, played their last ever international game during a friendly against Belgium in Anderlecht’s Parc Astrid stadium in Brussels. Less than a month afterwards, the two sectors of Germany were reunited. The struggle between brothers as over.

New study shows frozen mummy Inca children given coca and alcohol before sacrifice

(Phys.org) —A new study conducted by an international team of experts has resulted in evidence showing that three Inca children sacrificed approximately 500 years ago ingested coca and alcohol in the months leading up to their deaths. In their paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes how they analyzed hair samples to discern what sorts of drugs the children may have been exposed to before sacrifice.
The three children—a boy and girl each about age 4 or 5 and a girl aged 13—were found entombed near the summit of Llullaillaco volcano in Argentina in 1999. The bodies of all three of the children were in remarkably good condition due to the very low temperatures. Because of the location of their entombment and found on and around them, scientists have suspected that all three had been sacrificed as part of a ritual. In 2007, analysis of hair samples revealed the children's diet had changed radically over the months prior to their deaths—instead of mainly eating vegetables such as potatoes, the children had been consuming maize and even meat, likely from a . In this new study, it appears the children were also given a type of beer called chicha made from maize and coca (the source of modern ).
Historians have believed for years that Inca children were sacrificed, partly out of ritual, and partly as a means of quelling dissent. Stories told to Spanish explorers often mentioned children being killed as part of sacrificial rites. This new study now offers scientific evidence to back up those stories.
As hair grows, evidence of what has been consumed grows with it, providing researchers a timeline of sorts. By analyzing from the to the tips, researchers can trace a period of time that offers a glimpse of the lifestyle of the person from whom it was taken. In this case, it appears the older girl, known as the Maiden, lived a simple life until approximately a year before her death. From then on, it appears she was fed well and given large amounts of coca and chicha to prepare her for her sacrifice. A large wad of coca was even found in her mouth suggesting she may have been unconscious before she died. The younger children were also given a richer diet and fed coca and chicha during the months leading up to their sacrifice, but not to the degree of the Maiden—this was due, the researchers believe, to their status as attendants to the Maiden.

Examination of three frozen bodies, a 13-y-old girl and a girl and boy aged 4 to 5 y, separately entombed near the Andean summit of Volcán Llullaillaco, Argentina, sheds new light on human sacrifice as a central part of the Imperial Inca capacocha rite, described by chroniclers writing after the Spanish conquest. The high-resolution diachronic data presented here, obtained directly from scalp hair, implies escalating coca and alcohol ingestion in the lead-up to death. These data, combined with archaeological and radiological evidence, deepen our understanding of the circumstances and context of final placement on the mountain top. We argue that the individuals were treated differently according to their age, status, and ritual role. Finally, we relate our findings to questions of consent, coercion, and/or compliance, and the controversial issues of ideological justification and strategies of social control and political legitimation pursued by the expansionist Inca state before European contact.

#iapp #iControl #orchestration
In the past few years there has been a lot of talk about dynamic data centers, automation, orchestration, etc. iApp has a very large benefit in these environments that might not be completely obvious.
Last week I met with a customer who was responsible hosting managed applications and support services for their enterprise customers. To implement configuration they built a provisioning system to automate infrastructure and application services based on the user’s inputs. That included scripting each step individually to configure the ADC.
Remember that iApp templates can reduce configuration steps up to 90%? Well they are also iControl enabled. That means that whether a template is configured via the UI or API the complexity and time to deploy is equally reduced. Also since an iApp service is just another object, deploying one can be done in a single call regardless how complicated the application may be.
So with iApp templates they no longer have to script hundreds of calls to build a single application implementation. They can make one call and pass only the required data unique to the customer and the iApp will complete the rest of the configuration on the device.
That certainly reduces the complexity and cost to orchestrate our device and simplify automation. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9454694390296936}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '81067', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:E6S2DPDDXCPSTZRMDHBA27BF653OHAOR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3669ad9a-8dd2-40ec-aed9-44a93876fb8a>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 10, 19, 25, 38), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.219.111.135', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PWLKIDEL3BPIP5XWZDVDHVNRV6NH4EGM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a5dfacf2-b23e-4d01-ade4-833a19a99d14>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/iapp-icontrol', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:47214bc2-fb6c-4732-abcd-0ec77f0b3137>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '208', 'url': 'https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/iapp-icontrol', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-95-138.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': '0.023401379585266113', 'original_id': 'ef7f5284f4141fc1abc3b02243ada43b25dae71491d01056b5c205936b7d65cc'} |

This Is How a Transistor Works
By Jamie Condliffe on at
Transistors are the magical electronic components that make your computer, smartphone and virtually every other gadget on the planet function — but how the hell do they work?
One word: semiconductors. But if that means nothing to you, then you should watch this video — which offers up a great explanation of the science behind transistors. You'll never have known more about how the guts of your gadgets work.

Air Conditioning
How often does air conditioning need to be replaced?
Back To Top
What are signs of wear and tear on an air conditioner?
If you have a newer model that is less than 5 years old, most issues should be handled through regular maintenance of your air conditioner. Have your coils cleaned and cooling units checked at least once a year.
However, if you have a unit that’s more than 10 years old, a replacement unit may serve to alleviate these problems and cut down on you energy use, as most new models are far more efficient than those made 10 or more years ago.
Back To Top
What type of air conditioner should I get?
There are a number of different types of air conditioners, though most homeowners will decide between ductless split units and central air conditioning systems. A ductless split system allows you to use a single compressor and pipe the coolant into any room in your home with individual wall-mounted cooling units. For smaller homes or limited cooling needs, a split system is more cost effective and flexible.
Back To Top
Back To Top
What is required with a new system installation?
When air conditioning technicians prepare to install a new air conditioner, the total work will depend on the type of system decided upon as well as the available components. Homes without installed ductwork will need new ductwork installed, which is often made with metal or fiberglass. During the estimate period, trained technicians will determine the size and scope of ductwork required and what, if any, additional work will be required. After installation of your ductwork, the air conditioning unit can be installed and calibrated. Regular maintenance should also be scheduled at this time to keep your cooling unit in working order and your ducts clean.

How Does Geothermal Heating and Cooling Work?
Geothermal heating utilizes the same type of heat pump as an air source heating and cooling system. But in this case, the heat pump extracts energy from the ground using a series of pipes and an antifreeze/water mixture. The water is circulated through those pipes to gather heat and then transferred back to the heat pump. The heat pump then takes the heat from the fluid and transfers it to air which is circulated through your home via air ducts.
Once the compressor unit transfers the heat to the air in your home, the coolant mixture is returned to the pipes in the ground to gather more heat and restart the process. It works smoothly over time and therefore ensures you have a steady source of heat in your home.
The best part about a geothermal heat pump is that, like a standard heat pump, it can be used in reverse during the summer. During the warmer months, heat is absorbed from your home by the compressor unit and then transferred to the fluid in your geothermal system to be distributed into the ground outside. A good geothermal system will serve you well year-round.
Back To Top
How Much Does Geothermal Installation Cost?
The cost of geothermal installation can vary greatly depending on the size of your home, the composition of the ground around it and the climate in which you live. It’s generally more expensive than a standard heat pump or forced air heating system, however, due to the cost of initial drilling and installation.
That added cost is almost always converted into savings after a few years, though, due to the very low fuel use of the system. Once a geothermal system is installed, it not only works steadily for years, but it uses almost no outside energy other than what’s needed to run the compressor and air handler.
One of the main costs of installation is the drilling. For most homes, a horizontal installation allows you to draw enough heat from the ground to keep your home comfortable in the winter. This involves placing anywhere from 100 to 400 feet of piping beneath your property. A horizontal installation requires no drilling, just labor for the digging. However, for colder environments or larger homes, vertical pipe installation is an option, and that requires a much deeper hole to be drilled in the ground.
Back To Top
How Efficient Is a Geothermal Heat Pump?
Geothermal heat pumps are between 50% and 70% more efficient than traditional furnaces or radiant heating systems. They are also 20% to 40% more efficient than traditional air conditioning systems. So in the winter or summer you will save money using a geothermal heat pump instead of your traditional system.
This amount can vary quite a bit depending on the size and location of your home, as well as the type of fuel you currently use for heating.
Back To Top
How Do I Know Which Type of Installation I Need?
Most homes use a closed loop installation, but is vertical or horizontal piping best? Many factors will determine which style works best for your home. Horizontal installations work well for homes in areas that do not freeze for a large portion of the year. Frozen ground can still be used for heating, but the volume of heat you can gather is much lower in horizontal systems.
Vertical systems may also be recommended if you don’t have much space on your property. Because anywhere from 100 to 400 feet of pipe is needed for a horizontal system, a decent sized yard is necessary. Vertical systems are good for urban or tightly packed suburban areas where you can’t dig up a lot of ground.
Back To Top
At what temperature should I set my thermostat to save the most money?
This question depends largely on what you feel most comfortable with in your home. Most families will set their thermostat to 68 degrees in the winter. Businesses often set theirs as high as 72 degrees to make customers who have been out in the cold more comfortable. Keep in mind that maintaining good humidity can reduce the need for heat and allow you to maintain a lower thermostat setting.
Back To Top
My heat isn’t working. Can I use an electric burner or my oven to heat the house?
Never use a non-heating appliance to heat your home. If you have electric heat, the risk of someone getting burned or a fire starting is high. If you have gas, you may even risk a gas leak or the possibility of a fire. If you do not have heat, call a professional immediately for emergency service on your heating system. If your lack of heat is due to electricity or gas outage, call your utility provider and then leave your home to find somewhere safe with heat.
Back To Top
What should I do with my windows in the winter?
It depends on how they are maintained throughout the year. If you have screens on your window throughout the summer, remove the screens and replace them with storm windows to help prevent heat loss. Sealant tape or insulation can help to block any loss as well. If you have an air conditioner or fan unit in your window, remove it during the winter and seal up the space.
Back To Top
What is the difference between furnace and boiler heat?
A furnace operates by heating air within the furnace unit and then circulating it through your home through a blower via ducts. The warm air is transported through vents in the rooms of your house to keep you warm.
A boiler is different in that it heats water to just short of boiling (about 180 degrees) and then circulates the hot water throughout your home through pipes in radiators or baseboard heaters. There are also steam boilers that will heat the water beyond boiling and use the resulting steam to heat your home via radiators.
Back To Top
How many years will my boiler or furnace last?
It will vary depending on the type of system, the amount it’s used and the environment where you live. However, most heating systems will last for 15 years and if well maintained, they will often last between 20-25 years. High quality equipment that has been well maintained and cared for over the years may even last longer than that.
Back To Top
Can I use a wood stove or fireplace to supplement my heating?
If you have a stove or fireplace, in a den or living room, it can help to reduce your heating costs in that room. However, it will only work if the thermostat reading is taken in the vicinity of the fireplace. If there are thermostats in bedrooms or the kitchen where the heat is not fully circulated, your heater may still turn on and use energy.
If you use a fireplace in the winter, make sure you have it properly cleaned and maintained at least once a year. A dirty fireplace or clogged flue can result in carbon monoxide buildup or the spread of fire in your home.

Dragon Stone
Siksa is rich with a beautiful, dark blue crystal called ensai, that glows softly in the dark.
On land, the greatest concentration of the stone is in Bizra territory, under the meadows where the Bizra lived for centuries.
In the ocean, the most visible deposit of ensai is found in three undersea mountain ranges.
But the largest mass of the crystal is a great disk, hidden seven feet below the deepest part of the sea floor, extending for a thousand miles in all directions.
The disk generates an energy field in the shape of a sphere.… Read more | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.865019679069519}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '43971', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:I7O7GZAWHMCOA3OPG3LZKCMM2UYS5PLA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7127a61f-b888-4b95-97bf-2272bdba51ed>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 30, 4, 41, 46), 'WARC-IP-Address': '204.44.192.49', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:HXOK6FX5NVFN3UHOO4PELC2VR2XBSYLZ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:381eb41b-34cf-4ab3-bfb8-baf8ce86d622>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://heartfountain.com/tag/dragon-stone', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:c43e1633-9b45-42c4-a060-ff7d49ba213c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '101', 'url': 'http://heartfountain.com/tag/dragon-stone', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-50\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November/December 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-27.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': '0.018968045711517334', 'original_id': 'e1706f229f221df42851025fb8dd37d9cf8fe9964485eaa87e7c595e4ef147d3'} |

Deep Green Education in a Digital Age
School’s out! In my corner of the world, the school year was over at the end of May. Children (including my three) are enjoying a glorious summer of mental and physical freedom. As a child, I loved school. Yes, it’s true. I was one of those bookish nerdy little kids with thick glasses (literally!). I have long since switched to contact lenses, but my love of learning remains, at least some of the time.
We are constantly required to learn new things. The trouble is, most of this new learning is not meant to really sink in permanently. For example, say I purchase a new piece of electronic gadgetry. I spend a lot of time learning all the bells and whistles. Six months later, said gadget breaks (hit by a meteor, chewed by a cat, who knows?). I replace it. But now, I must forget all that I had previously learned and re-learn the new bells and whistles. The learning is impermanent, and constantly in flux.
Not only that, but the amount of detail we have to remember (or at least manage and organize!) in our culture is astounding. Usernames. Passwords. Codes. Account numbers. Schedule details for ourselves and our significant others. The interminable minutiae of postmodern life. Armies of office workers in Dilbert-esque cubicles spend their days processing our digital diarrhea. Such is the stuff that fills our brains.
No wonder we feel like we’re drowning in data.
Meanwhile, we remain disconnected from the physical systems that literally support us and make life possible. We operate on the false premise that what happens “out there” in our surroundings has no bearing on us. Our local bioregion that sustains us remains an enigma.
A good measure of our disconnection to our bioregion is to compare how much of our knowledge is associated with our digital existence versus how much is associated with our physical existence. This is useful even (and perhaps especially) for urban folk, who face the greatest disconnect. Quiz time…
• Where does your water come from? Where does it go after it goes down your drain?
• Do you know any migratory birds that come through your area or live there seasonally? How many?
• Can you identify any native plants in your area? Can you identify the weeds that grow through the cracks in the sidewalk?
• What constellations can you see at night? Can you find the Milky Way? Can you see stars at all, or is the light pollution too great?
• What people lived on the land five hundred years ago? Are any of their descendants still around today? What was/is their art? What stories did/do they tell?
• What did the land look like 20,000 years ago? 20 million years ago? Was it an inland sea? Is there anything left of that legacy?
• What foods are native to your area? Are they still available today?
• What is the current moon phase?
Well, how did you do? If you came up short, perhaps search out some answers. Learning like this is not the ephemeral fluff of our here-today-gone-tomorrow techno-lives. It connects us to the earth and to each other. It is real. It has permanence. It is solid. Approaching the process with a contemplative mindset is tremendously healing. It enables us to see with new eyes. It helps restore us to our place within the ecosystem. It brings us home again.

Bone and Mineral Management
As GFR declines in chronic disease, the ability of the kidney to regulate calcium and phosphate levels is altered. The kidneys are no longer able to excrete excess phosphate and activate vitamin D. As the level of phosphate in our blood increases, our calcium levels decrease from reduced absorption from our intestinal tract. This causes an increased release of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The parathyroid hormone works to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the blood. When our calcium levels drop, the parathyroid hormone enhances the release of calcium from our bones. This can lead to a condition called renal osteodystrophy. Renal osteodystrophy can cause symptoms like bone pain, fractures, weakness, tumors in bones, and itchiness. It could further lead to bone deformities and calcium being deposit throughout our body. Ways to manage bone and mineral management include, taking phosphate binders, calcium supplements, and vitamin D therapy. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '34', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8753650784492493}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '37883', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3B32OMSEXSQ2I4XK3CEK2ZEGG44KXUM3', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d4394a33-4a11-4dcb-bb03-3f76e8e01c47>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 23, 5, 10, 37), 'WARC-IP-Address': '35.183.221.217', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:JYJ5CKDZKVN2A4G6PHSQV6V3I54WB7HG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:00ce00eb-e57c-45a2-b2d2-a1d22421614b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://guides.hsict.library.utoronto.ca/c.php?g=414899&p=2827109', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a3708922-e77b-48af-a0de-3091259f6861>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '193', 'url': 'https://guides.hsict.library.utoronto.ca/c.php?g=414899&p=2827109', '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-10-67-67-217.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': '0.055725276470184326', 'original_id': '8799a8f06890ef41268bed014cbdbf94cd2b7351995fea240b0937fb5d2c85fd'} |
IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution for Siebel
IBM Optim Data Growth Solution for Oracle’s Siebel is a fully integrated database archiving solution that can handle the complex database schemas and unique data relationships of Oracle’s Siebel. Because Siebel applications can accumulate large amounts of transactional data over time, operational expenses increase with the size of the database. Using the Optim solution, companies can remove precise sets of rarely accessed data from a Siebel production database and save it to a more cost-effective storage medium for easy access on demand. The smaller database is more cost-effective and efficient to manage, backup, and upgrade. With the Optim solution, sites initiate archive requests by specifying data selection criteria such as transaction date, type, or status. The solution applies functional condition checks while maintaining referential integrity in the database and ensures that each archived transaction record represents a complete historical reference snapshot of the business activity.
This Demo Includes:
• Archive and purge the Siebel Service Request Module using classic Optim Interface
• How Optim is used to easily manage the data growth for PeopleSoft data
• How Native Application Access feature can be used to access the archived data

Border Lawyer for Undocumented ''Unaccompanied Minors''
By Nick Braune
Mid-Valley Town Crier
by permission
This week I interviewed Susan Watson, an energetic attorney with Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) which has offices in Weslaco, Edinburg, and Harlingen.
Braune: Your work has brought you into contact with special undocumented youth being detained by the government, “unaccompanied minors.” I suppose that means they came to this country by themselves. They sound like very brave youth, but they are still youth and must be pretty scared and maybe confused. Could you tell us something about these young people and how you meet up with them?
Watson: Unaccompanied minors (UACs) are children under 18 without legal status and who have no parent or legal guardian present. Of the estimated 8,000 UACs who enter the United States each year, most come from Central America or Mexico. All of the UACs I’ve met come from horrific situations: some are orphaned, sometimes because their parents were killed in gang violence or by military factions; some were abused or abandoned by parents; others lived in abject poverty. They are, indeed, extremely brave: the stories I’ve heard about their lives and their harrowing trips to reach the U.S. include things most of us could never imagine.
We at TRLA first became involved with UACs last year. We were contacted by immigration counsel for several children who were victims of sexual assault in a shelter facility in Nixon, Texas. The children needed representation for civil rights and other claims arising from their treatment there. Because TRLA has a long history of fighting for the poor and the vulnerable, our group was a good choice — and these kids probably are the most vulnerable and least likely to be able to seek justice on their own.
Braune: Does ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) take charge of these youth? And how are they treated? I suppose there is a range: some are treated poorly and some are treated better. Right?
Watson: In 2002, the responsibility for caring for UACs while they are in immigration proceedings was delegated to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. This was done to separate the responsibilities of caring for these children (ORR) from prosecuting the immigration cases (ICE). Although some children are treated pretty well, far too many receive sub-standard care and are subjected to physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
Braune: A related matter. If teens in custody turn 18, are they just thrown into the world to fend for themselves or are they deported? If they have no family with them and have just been released from the juvenile centers, they must be pretty distressed. Do they get some help from the government for health care, counseling, education, job hunting assistance, etc.?
Watson: Detained UACs are transferred to adult detention facilities on their 18th birthdays, and then they may be eligible for release on bond. But you are right — they are just turned out on the street even if they have been in ORR custody for years. Until their immigration case is decided, most have no ability to work legally, are ineligible for public benefits, and find no system in place to provide them with basic human needs, such as shelter, food, and clothing. If bond is denied, the person remains in ICE detention until the immigration case is completed.
Braune: I’ve heard that the Rio Grande Valley facilities are better than others around the country. Why is that?
Watson: I can think of two reasons why these UAC facilities — about six are in the Valley — are generally better than others. First, and without meaning to sound stereotypical, the Valley is primarily Hispanic, and children are cared for by people from similar cultural backgrounds, Spanish speakers who understand the important cultural differences among regional groups.
The second important reason is that members of ProBAR (South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project) of Harlingen, visit the facilities regularly, meeting with every child. Having an independent group in constant contact with the children significantly decreases the likelihood that abuse will occur or that it will go undetected.
Braune: Lastly, is there one specific thing you would change immediately?
Watson: If I could change only one thing, it would be to require independent monitoring and contact with all UACs, much like ProBAR does in the Valley. In addition to deterrence and early discovery of abuse or other care issues, having “outsiders” come in on a regular basis also provides children with knowledge of their rights and an assessment of potential immigration relief. Finally, it increases the possibility of getting pro bono legal representation, which dramatically affects a child’s ability to present a strong case in immigration court.
Braune: Thanks, counselor, for your time today and your important work. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9740078449249268}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '94012', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:WC4WBPA7VZ76IJ3I65PA4GGKUZTDGWTF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:9aba2e24-31d8-4bfd-8225-931170eb448f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 11, 0, 16, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.25', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:EF5NWFLLUKSFXQIYKE3MF7N7H77M7EQA', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8b48a501-d43e-4c0c-b726-bc73fe0c8434>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://gregmoses.net/2008/12/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d61896d1-ce1d-4294-84d4-cb2154c84d93>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '787', 'url': 'https://gregmoses.net/2008/12/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-109-214-234.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': '0.05619853734970093', 'original_id': '3ca2810d3db4a5065019313d748d6f0a9d7246c9b4d8bd06db54b2a228cef4e5'} |

In all the little places
In that
strip of freeway
around the foothills of Chatsworth
back from collecting your wages
from some client
who stiffed you,
you didn't notice
how your foot
handled your anger
and got home
with your
first speeding ticket.
You learned how everything becomes
shiny again when rubbed with pride
at your first job at Fallbrook Theaters
everyone's messes
coming home
after my bedtime
riding a bike
you purchased with
the first month's wages.
1. Yes, a place can do that. Bless the memories of him.
2. Those memories can be real blessings.
3. Memories are always there, I find them all the time and of course writing my memoirs as such is bringing everything back. I am sure that the same happens to you with this blog, but they are good memories which you will never forget.

Bluetooth Remote Controll for Voice input on Nexus 5
I am using my Nexus 5 for 1.5 months now. Previously I used an iPhone 5. On the iPhone there was Siri and - when connected via Bluetooth to my car stereo - I could push a button on my Steering Wheel and start voice interaction with siri.
When I push the same button in Android 4.4.2 on my Nexus 5, it says "initialisieren", I think the english locale would be "initializing" and nothing happens.
It would be great to get at least some starting of calls working like "call my mom" or "call john doe" better would be also a working tts/stt (reading/dictation) of sms. Best would be if I also could change playlists (Play List Salsa/Play List Rock) or starting of the navigation (Navigate to Home)
is there any way to get those things working?
Screenshot (click image for original size)
I'm not sure about the "Steering Wheel" controls, but you might wish to take a look at tasker (being German, just follow the link to AndroidPIT from there :) and the AutoVoice plugin.
so out of the box there is no way to use that standard voice recognition?
I can't tell, as I've not much played with that. Let's see if someone else has fresh ideas.
I have tried tasker now. It is a really powerful thing. But I have the problem, that my phone speaks the variables instead of speaking its contents:
AutoVoice and Tasker: Speak recognized Variable says “percent varname”
You might wish to see the above linked tasker tag-wiki and follow up the link to my ressource collection. Though that post being German, it links to several English tutorials, including those around AutoVoice; I roughly remember there was at least one with using Variables to be spoken out.
Solved that specific problem. Tomorrow I try to get it working with the button on my car stereo system. But it's kinda hard to programm all that features with that little keyboard and screen. Usually I use 3 big screens for programming and a mechanical keyboard ^^
Glad for the solution (and thanks for answering your own question and sharing it, just upvoted ;) And yes, the question has been asked for years to have a desktop version of Tasker to write profiles and export them. Trouble is, that would need all the environment (addons, configurations) as well. One might be able doing that in an emulator... Good luck further, looking forward to your solution!
The trick with the autovoice for car mode didn't work. Now I can toggle the task, but cannot get it to work with the car microphone as it does during calls.
Have you tried contacting its author? He's very responsive, and AutoVoice are his "crown jewels". Tell him Izzy sent you with best regards :) If there's any solution, I'm pretty sure João will find it. // Oh, if he did it, please don't forget to let us know the solution :)
@Izzy I don't have an answer from the author of the software yet but I have another solution for the initial problem (See answer)
@Izzy how did you resize the image or have you done it offline?
Just click the [edit] link and see for yourself: imgur ships a smaller variant when you add a m to the basename (e.g. if abcde.jpg is the large image, abcdem.jpg gives a Medium sized (which I used), and abcdes.jpg would give a (too) small one). Then I made the medium variant a link to the large one, using the normal markup elements for that.
I found a solution to the initial problem. It seems that this is a common bug and in the software since at least Anroid 4.2. There is an Application in the Play Store that does nothing but reacting to the Bluetooth button and starting the voice recognition:
Voice Command
When I push the Button, I have to select what app to start, I chose "Voice Command" after that I am asked again and chose "Google Now" and then it starts directly in the Voice Recognition mode.
I don't know yet if it gets the commands over bluetooth or over the built in mic but it stops the music and starts the recognition.
This works at least with My phone (Nexus 5, 32GB Android 4.4.2 All settings to german and my Car Radio (JVC...))

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a spring that is provided between a first member and a second member for inhibiting transmission of high-frequency vibration therebetween, and in particular relates to an improvement in a shape of the spring.
2. Related Art
In a variety of fields of such as automobiles, precision equipment, home electrical appliances and architectural industries, techniques for inhibiting transmission of vibrations are required. The techniques for inhibiting transmission of vibrations are applied to engines, motors rotating at high speed, dewatering bins of laundry machines and constructions, etc. As a technique for inhibiting transmission of vibration, a natural vibration frequency of a system composed of an object and a supporting portion is set at a sufficiently lower degree than a predetermined vibration frequency range. As a method for this setting, a constant of a spring in the supporting portion may be reduced. In this case, when the constant of the spring is reduced, the size of the spring must be increased for supporting a load thereat.
A method in which a disc spring is used between the object and the supporting portion is proposed (For example, see Japanese Patent Applications, First Publication No. 5-172171 and First Publication No. 2002-54685.). Loading characteristics of a disc spring are designed as a curve shown in FIG. 6, so that not only can the load be supported, but also an area A can be set on the curve, and the constant of the spring can be reduced when the loading characteristics thereof are within the area A.
When a disc spring is deformed in a substantially flat shape by an applied load, edge portions of an inner circumference and an outer circumference thereof slide with respect to counter members, whereby friction occurs. Therefore, when a range of use of the disc spring is set within the area A shown in FIG. 6, hysteresis shown in FIG. 7A occurs on the practical loading curve. As a result, the practical dynamic constant of the disc spring in the range of use thereof is determined according to an inclination of a diagonal line between points P and Q in FIG. 7. In this case, when a fluctuation of in the range of use is set at a small degree, as shown in FIG. 7B, the inclination of the diagonal line is increased, so that the dynamic constant of spring is increased. In a system in which such a disc spring is used, when a fine vibration such as a high-frequency vibration is provided, the dynamic constant of the spring is increased, so that the natural vibration frequency of the system is increased. As a result, transmission of the high-frequency vibrations cannot be inhibited. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '0228c576ca109d97a9e9dd4427cd1abca2a29d79d7ea2abd36c875393b4a5cfe'} |

Dio - After All (The Dead)
What do you say to the dead
Will you forgive me for living
Can't believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It's killing me
What do they do with your soul
Is it just lying there busted
When did you lose all control
Is there someone to be trusted
With my mind
Oh there's insufficient evidence
Of what just might come after
But sometimes out of nowhere
There's demented sounds of laughter
Are we all haunted by
The ghost - imagination
It just can't be
I've seen them there
Howling at the moon
Is it just me
Or does somebody else believe this
Well I'm not alone
And I'm not afraid
There's just one way to see
After all etc.
What do you say to the dead
Is there a place where it's burning
It says in a book I once read
Yes there's a chance of returning
Turn to me
The fundamental principles
Say nothing of forever
But those are voices that I hear
Or I'm just not so clever
It can't be me
I know somebody else believes this
Well I'm not alone
I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all etc.

I said it and now I'm doing it.
I have started making a once over of the packages looking for
dead/obsolete/unecessary core packages in core-testing. I have gone
through .src.rpm's a*-e* and I have a breakdown of packages. These
packages appear to be things that can either move to extras or be dropped.
I am willing to pledge support for some of these packages if there is a
call for their continued existance in extras, but not all. I have a
feeling that some will drop completly out from lack of support.
Lines with a '+' mean that they are a dependancy that is a logical
remove as well. I have a small reason for each removal from core listed
next to each. 'D:0' = nothing depends on these packages.
Highly likley candidates
ElectricFence - Development only ( many similar ) D:0
SDL* - kdeaddons is the only thing that depends on this
+ kdeaddons - small add on packages for stock kde apps
*VFlib2 - only if we can break the ghostscript requireedby
+ MagicPoint - Duplicated functionality already in other packages
Xaw3d - required by emacs
+ emacs ( pick emacs or xemacs and move the other to extras )
a2ps - used by Xfprint ( XFce - already moved to extras )
awesfx - OLD Soundblaster awe 32 util ( 2000 ) D:0
bogl* - kernel 2.2 fb graphics lib D:0
cdecl - C/C++ to English conversion D:0
dasher - obscure alternate input method D:0 ! 10MB
dovecot - IMAP server ( duplication of effort )
epic - duplicate effort
lynx - duplicate effort ( elinks )
Possible candidates
Canna - Superceeded by IIMF - nothing depends ! 10MB
Guppi
apel - extras for emacs
+ ddskk - extra input methods for emacs

---begin quote---
Objectives of Fedora Core:
1. Create a complete general-purpose operating system with
capabilities equivalent to competing operating systems, built for and by
a community -- _those who not only consume, but also produce for the good
of other community members_.
[...]
4. Provide a robust development platform for building software,
particularly open source software.
---end quote---
Given the above, I don't see how things like Electric Fence are
"likely candidates" for removal. I'm not saying FC must keep Electric
Fence, but "Development only" is not by itself a reason to remove it or
any package. At least, that's how I see things.

Is elinks command-line compatible to lynx? It it is, I would prefer
to see elinks, as it renders pages much better (supports frames and
tables, etc).
Honestly, that's why I like to have lynx around: "what would this look like
to someone who for accessability reasons needs to use a tool that can't
handle frames?".

It's best to use real screen readers as tests, since many of them handle
quite a bit of markup these days. Many gecko tools also give you
stlye-less views or degraded viewing of pages.
I'm also just suggesting that these move to extras, not gone all together.

lynx does handle frames. It also handles some CSS.
It's a great browser to have on a headless box, and one that a lot of
admins of headless boxes expect to be there.

What's the other IMAP/POP server in Core that can export mailboxes in
the standard mbox format as delivered by the default MTA, and can do
preauth when started from the command line for fetchmail over ssh?
This debate has already happened several times. IIRC the end
conclusion is always that each of the text-mode browsers has strengths
and weaknesses that the others don't, to a point in which we really
shouldn't drop any of them.

Is there any other text-mode IRC client in Core?
I've proposed its replacement with irssi before. It was generally agreed
upon on this list...

I use dovecot to export mail delivered in maildir format. Don't know about

Mbox is completely supported . I use it to export my mbox files from
thunderbird (windows version) to evolution
(I know it's weird , but I have plans of doing this to use webmail later
while I dont get a server).

Round two of the first set of possibilities. I have marked objections
and removed a few from consiteration. Any with objections that I have
kept, I have expanded on my reasoning. Once again these are suggestions
to the community and I have no power to make the cuts myself, but once
the discussion is complete I will forward the annotaded recommendationd
up the food chain.
In responding, please comment if you want it kept in core or in extras
and why.
Removed from consiteration
Xaw3d - required by emacs and emacs is being kept
bogl* - kernel 2.2 fb graphics lib d:0 ( should update dependancies here
if it's required by the installer! )
epic/irssi? epic is there and it's the only text mode irc client unless
we want to swap it out for irssi
Ojections, but I still believe could be moved.
dovecot - IPAP server - 2 objections, but if you can server to the
internet, you can download it from extras. Ether this or cyrus should
be cut.
ElectricFence - Development only nothing depends on it - 1 objection,
but I still say it's usage does not justify it remaining in core - there
is at least one competing package ( dmalloc, valgrind )
lynx/elinks - 1 objection about scripts using lynx... ether those
scripts are not part of core or they are not marked correctly. If you
can surf the web with either, you can download them from extras. If
either has a dependancy in core the .src.rpm needs to be corrected.
doxygen - Sorce code documentation generator D:0 - 1 objecton - I don't
think we necessarly need to keep every build dependancy in core.
Likley without objections
SDL* - kdeaddons is the only thing that depends on this
+ kdeaddons - small add on packages. not 100% necessary
Canna - Superceeded by IIMF - nothing depends ! 10MB
MAKEDEV - Superceeded by udev ?
*VFlib2 - Required by MajicPoint and ghostscript - only if we can break
the ghostscript compatibility
+ MagicPoint - Duplicated functionality already in other packages
a2ps - text to postscript tool required by xfprint
awesfx - OLD ( 2000 ) D:0
cdecl - C/C++ to English conversion D:0
dasher - obscure alternate input method ! 10MB
apel - extras for emacs
+ ddskk - extra input methods for emacs
+ flim - message encoding emacs
+ wl - imap/pop/nntp reader
arptables_jf - specialized filtering of arp D:0
cscope - c code browser - duplicate effort D:0

"SDL* - kdeaddons is the only thing that depends on this"
dropping sdl isn't a good idea because many third party apps require it.
+1
I agree that removing most games (except the basic as gnome-games) from
FC is desirable however removing SDL would mean that even for installing
almost any games this dependency would have to be installed by user. I
don't think it's a good idea.

SDL isn't only used by games, but also as an A/V output system by many
(3.party) progs. Please keep SDL - it is a really usefull libary.

No it's just the common mentality i am seeing on these lists - if a lib
isn't required for anything in core, drop it as fast as possible!
lynx/elinks - 1 objection about scripts using lynx... ether those
scripts are not part of core or they are not marked correctly. If you
can surf the web with either, you can download them from extras. If
either has a dependancy in core the .src.rpm needs to be corrected.
If you install a server, you often don't run X at all and ability to
browse web is very useful. Plus it is definitely something e.g. blind
people can't miss in the distro. Therefore I strongly object to dropping
at least elinks. elinks is really small package btw.

valgrind is i386 only (therefore not a replacement for efence) and
dmalloc is far worse then efence. If anything needs to be dumped to
Extras, then it is dmalloc, not ElectricFence.
Cough in the
developmnent tree....libtiff
rpm -q --requires libtiff
libglut.so.3
rpm -q --whatprovides libglut.so.3
freeglut-2.2.0-14
how are you checking for deps? the libtiff deps isnt somthing
obscure.. its required by gtk2.
I just want to make sure you aren't wasting your time using a depcheck
method thats going to be highly unreliable. Are you looking at the
deps in fc3 or in rawhide? I'm not sure looking at the dep chains in
fc3 gives an accurate picture for the sake of this discussion.
used by gnucash.... how are you checking for deps? Even in fc3 this is
a requirement.
rawhide:
libguppi.so.16 is needed by (installed) gnucash-1.8.11-1.i386
libguppitank.so.16 is needed by (installed) gnucash-1.8.11-1.i386
fc3:
libguppi.so.16 is needed by (installed) gnucash-1.8.9-2.i386

I could not find a rpmdb for rawhide. If you wish to send me one I
would be more than happy to use it. I have been using rpm -w
--whatrequires under the full fc3 rpmdb.
If it is used by kde or gnomes accessability feature and used by someone
( anyone ) I will remove it from consiteration.
Your other objections are noted, but I stand by freeradius as a
specialty package probably better served in extras.

I'm pretty sure the entire point of dasher is related to accessibility.
man dasher
...
Control mode
Provides a control node at the bottom of the screen. This
allows various tasks to be performed inside Dasher, such as
editing the text written, speaking entered text and stopping or
pausing Dasher. If compiled with and using a desktop supporting
the ATK accessibility framework, compliant applications will
have their menu trees exported to Dasher and these may be
accessed via this node.
As soon as you play with it.. and configure it to enable the control
mode...you'll see control elements apear in the interface and not just
alphabet.

Please post feedback. All objections noted. Please tell me why any of
these items should stay in core. Most should probably end up in extras
with a few that can probably drop off all together at this point. This
list was based on my own review of .src.rpm's in testing. I am not
running testing, so ther may be small issues with some of the items,
please contact me directly if I miscalculated.
This is based on core being a small and stable platform with little
diplication. Many pacakages would probably do better in extras too with
the possibility of more maintainers.
Once I have sufficient feedback I will forward this list on to the
technical board for consiteration.
Please positive feedback only.
Removed from consiteration
ccs - cluster config?
Guppi
electricfence - multiplatform .. see new additions
doxygen - core must be self hosting
Xaw3d - required by emacs and emacs is being kept
bogl* - kernel 2.2 fb graphics lib d:0 ( should update dependancies here
if it's required by the installer! )
epic/irssi? epic is there and it's the only text mode irc client unless
we want to swap it out for irssi
dasher - alternate input method
h2ps - should let people that use multinational tools decide which one
go and which ones stay
Ojections, but I still believe could be moved.
*freeglut - library with no dependancy in core. libtiff requirement can
be corrected. I am working on a patch or updated spec file.*
*dovecot/cryus - IMAP server cyrus does seem more like a specialty
package when compared to the simplcity and utility of dovecot.*
lynx/w3m+w3m-el/elinks - 1 objection about scripts using lynx... ether
those scripts are not part of core or they are not marked correctly. If
you can surf the web with either, you can download them from extras. If
either has a dependancy in core the .src.rpm needs to be corrected.
Personally I think lynx should go to extras.
SDL - kdeaddons is the only thing that depends on this. 1 objection.
Would be nice to have in core, but is really not a core function since
nothing in core depends on it. Anything that is going to require it can
pull it down from extras.
+ kdeaddons - small add on packages. not 100% necessary.
*New additions to the likley list*
w3m/w3m-el - another text pager/web browser
usermode/utempter - overlaps with sudo
tora - packaged without oracle plugin and does appear to work out of the
box with MySQL or postgress.
tix - Tcl/Tk extansion
routed - appears to be superceeded by quagga
qmkbootdisk - graphical boot disk creation utiltiy - stale
ots - was used as part of abiword, but abiword has been religated to extras
nut - nice package, but is it really core materal?
nss_db - partly broken. Most usefulness gone now that nscd is standard (
I will personally manage since I wrote the fix )
dosfttools - looks like mtools superceeds this package.
mew - emailing in emacs
strace - looks like ltrace provides same functionality
dmalloc, valgrind - electricence appears to be more compatible and
better developed.
fsh - obscure shell, features absorbed into OpenSSH
giftrans - netpbm tools can do the same
iptstate - package getting stale
jed - another text mode editor
joe - yet another text editor ( nano / pico / emacs / ed / vi )
lftp - useful ftp client ( ftp, ncftp ) D:0
nedit - another x text editor
Likley without objections
Canna - Superceeded by IIMF - nothing depends ! 10MB
MAKEDEV - Superceeded by udev ?
*VFlib2 - Required by MajicPoint and ghostscript - only if we can break

Some scripts will use this but relatively few. This is one of the cases
where the FC3 package doesn't actually work on FC4, though -- it'll
break in an upgrade.
I'd like to see it die in FC5 -- OpenSSH needs to completely provide the
same functionality first though. OpenSSH doesn't yet have the capacity
to automatically decide whether to be the 'master' and open the first
connection, or whether to be the 'slave' and use an existing connection.
Neither does it hold the connection open with a timeout. Not hard to fix
-- but since fsh is only 161KiB, it hasn't been a huge priority.
We don't gain much by dropping it, but I'd like to say in the release
notes that it's deprecated, so that we can drop it from FC5. Although by
FC5 we can just move it into Extras without too much upgrade pain
anyway.

Is there a GUI front-end for sudo? (And, ideally, a good API for editing its
config file?) These are definitely both different approaches to the same
problem, but currently, they both have various strengths and weaknesses.
Significant work would have to go into one of them in order to drop one.
Although, since sudo isn't configured by default or used by anything, it's
possible *that's* a candidate.

I wouldn't cry if sudo disapeared.
What I use it for could be done with the other solutions as well, and
may even be better done with the other solutions.
We use sudo extensively on every unix system we have. If you've got more
than one person doing sysadmining on a machine, it's essential.
If I wanted to spend time tracking down and installing all the basic
things I need to make a system where I can be productive, I'd install
Solaris, not Linux.

Actually, it's not hard to download the packages and install from
source. (./configure ; make ; make install isn't much harder than "yum
install" and it's more likely to work.)
However, the whole reason I prefer Linux over Solaris is that Linux
comes with a good userspace, not because the Linux kernel is all that
good. (The big thing Linux has going for it is driver support.) As the
things that I expect to be "just there" start to disappear, the
advantages of sticking with Linux go away.

Absolutely 100% correct.
If there isn't an rpm for what I want, I make one myself for that very
reason - RPM is one of the biggest strengths of Red Hat (and Fedora) -
why mess up a good thing?
I've been down that road before - once you start building from source,
you have to keep doing it because rpm doesn't know about what is
installed by source, or use --nodeps - the system just becomes
difficult to maintain, especially if the box later becomes someone
elses job to maintain.
and no, ./configure && make && su --command="make install" is
not more
likely to work than "yum install packagename"
That is only the case if you mix repo's not designed to work together.
Even then, though, software like smart can often sort things out enough
to do it.

However, the whole reason I prefer Linux over
Solaris is that Linux
comes with a good userspace, not because the Linux
kernel is all that
good. (The big thing Linux has going for it is
driver support.) As the
things that I expect to be "just there" start to
disappear, the
advantages of sticking with Linux go away.
let me get this straight. if its called fedora core

Hey, let's just put the kernel and a static shell on a CD; you can get
the rest over the Internet!
Objectives of Fedora Core:
1. Create a complete general-purpose operating system with capabilities
equivalent to competing operating systems, ...
...
6. Emphasize usability and a "just works" philosophy in selecting
default configuration and designing features.
...
8. Include a range of popular packages, beyond those included in Red
Hat's commercially supported products. (Limited, of course, to
packages that Red Hat can legally provide; also limited to quality
packages as defined by our standards.)
...
If the plan is to chuck everything possible to Extras, then someone
should go update the Objectives. Competing operating systems include
sudo or something like it.

Frankly speaking, that's close to I am using Fedora: All I'd need is a
CD sufficiently equipped to perform a "basic upgrade/install" and to
launch a "yum/apt network install".
Once the "network install" is up, it doesn't matter much in which
repository on the net the packages are located.

You know, there is another alternative that is neither concensus nor

I think ncftp should be the one to be removed from Core. lftp has
more functionality (http), and is installed by default, whereas ncftp
is not installed by default. Also, while ncftp itself is OSS
(Clarified Artistic License), other components from the same company
are not (NcFTPd server, libNcFTP).

I've seen this objection several times, and it hardly seems

have an explicit list of RPMs to delete just before burning the

Since the number of packages that have this kind of problem does

I think the objection is to splitting an upstream package between two

In this case, though the upstream was just ripped from BSD, and isn't
particularly maintained (no changes to netkit-telnet at the Source URL in

There is no clear answer to this yet. The issue is complicated however
by the fact that Extras buildsystem is seperate from the Red Hat
internal buildsystem Core and RHEL both currently use. I'm sure the
buildsystem constraints factor into how Red Hat decides where to keep
RHEL relevant components under their control.

When Red Hat stopped doing Red Hat Linux and
started up Fedora Core, my
interpretation of the objectives was that Fedora Core would be testbed for
RHEL and that packages which are part of RHEL would (in almost all cases)
would also be in Fedora Core. However, there will likely be packages in
Fedora Core which are not in RHEL.
Now when there is some kind of transition with packages providing function
(e.g., LPNG and cups), a package may be dropped from a current Fedora Core
while still in the current RHEL ... this would be a "test" to see if the
package could be dropped. A current example might be keeping emacs while
moving xemacs to Fedora Extras. I assume that this is a test to see if the
same can be done with RHEL (remove xemacs from the basic RHEL).
One question that occurs to me is whether there will be something like a RHEL
Extras to add not-so-widely-used packages to the commercial RHEL
distribution.

lynx/w3m+w3m-el/elinks - 1 objection about scripts using lynx...
ether
those scripts are not part of core or they are not marked correctly. If
you can surf the web with either, you can download them from extras. If
either has a dependancy in core the .src.rpm needs to be corrected.
Personally I think lynx should go to extras.
At one time, lynx was the only one of those that could do SSL, basic
authentication, etc. (I don't know the current state of all of them
because I use lynx). I think it may still be the only one that verifies
SSL certificates.
An example of a script that uses lynx is the Apache apachectl script.
IIRC the perl CPAN module can also use it when libwww-perl is not
available. Since lynx was (and may still be) the widest-spread text
mode browser, many third party and home-grown scripts use it. I haven't
seen scripts that come out-of-the box that use any of the others; that
would be a reason to keep lynx over the others.
Actually mtools predates dosfstools (I used mtools on Suns at least
12-14 years ago IIRC). However, they don't overlap entirely. Mtools is
designed mainly to operate on floppies and wants to do things in terms
of drive letters (that have to be configured). Dosfstools has VFAT mkfs
and fsck utils that work just like other Unix filesystem mkfs/fsck (and
can handle more mkfs options). I don't think mtools includes an fsck
equivalent.
In what way? Is there duplicated functionality, or is it in way out of
date? It performs its function (quite well), is up to date with respect
to the interfaces required, and is the only tool for the job I believe.
There are numerous packages that don't get regular updates because they
just work and the requirements don't change.
I built some walls today, but I didn't go buy a new hammer just because
mine is old (although I did look at some new ones at the hardware
store!).

At this point I think I have weeded out all of the packages that should
not be moved and solicited enough feedback to give put forward a
reasonable set of packages to be moved from core to extras.
This is the last posting to this list. Please forward additional
comments off-list and I will pass the whole parcel along in a day or two.
I do believe in a slimed down core so that we all can have a stronger
and more efficient base of software to work from. To divert energy into
packages that duplicate effort seems waistful and counter productive.
To that end I submit to the community the list of packages that I think
should migrate to extras and be picked up by the community or be dropped.
I am also willing to pick up some of these packages in extras based if
they are used in my environment and current maintainers want to give
them up.

Personally I think lynx and w3m should go to extras.
lynx should stay if it is the only one that does Basic Auth and SSL
well. In fact, I change my stance here and say that lynx should stay
based on the argument that scripts, libraries, and applications use
it. It existed for so long before the other text browsers, that it
has become the defacto standard way to "bootstrap" things from the
net.

theora-tools should stay. We need to have an unencumbered suite of
multimedia tools in Core, if for no other reason than to encourage
widespread adoption of open formats over closed ones.

routed - appears to be superceeded by quagga
routed is a very simple RIP protocol daemon sometimes used by
non-routers in listen-only mode (-q) to learn the available routes on
the network (default route, other routes). It is this aspect of
routed that maybe should keep it in Core. Source 43 KB. Installed 40
KB. I say keep it.
quagga is really a much larger package that supports many more routing
protocols than just RIP, and is intended for large routers, route
servers, etc. not network clients, nor your simple home router. It is
much more complex, and as such doesn't really fill the need that
routed fills. Source 2 MB. Installed 4+ MB. If either package goes,
this one should. This seems like a perfect candidate for Extras,
given its small target audience.
dmalloc, valgrind - electricfence appears to be more compatible and
better developed.
I thought valgrind was supposedly so much better than the others? I
remember at one time it had been encumbered by patents or something,
and as such it couldn't be included at the time. Now that it is in
there, should we really remove it again? I have no strong opinion on
this one, just asking... Extras could certainly take this one if
desired.

| w3m/w3m-el - another text pager/web browser
Part of the standard recipe for rendering HTML in mutt (and probably other
text mode mail readers). Given that you advocate punting lynx too, how
do you suggest text mode users render HTML for humans?
There are at least three text browsers in FC. All that's being proposed
is removing one or two. A means of rendering HTML for text mode users
will remain. Exactly which means of doing so it what's being discussed
(FWIW, I use both lynx and links on a regular basis, but could happily
lose w3m).

Not just "yet another text editor". It's the only Wordstar compatible
ASCI-editor in Fedora (WordStar has dominated the editor market in the
late 1980/90's, generations of users have grown up with it.) Removing it
from FC means a severe loss of functionally to this generation of users.

I think we should have a text-mode
browser in core, personaly I vote for
elinks. The only thing I missed with elinks was the -dump feature that
was available only in lynx. The recent elinks has this feature so I
think elinks is the best from these now.
Nope, usermode contains
not only authentication helpers, but also
usermount and other things that are of course missing in the other
mentioned packages. Many programs are dependent on userhelper now so
it's quite impossible to replace it by anything else at the moment.
This is very useful thing that should be in core. I don't see any
substitute for it in field of text-mode file managers and it has some
unique features such as rpm vfs that helps many people.

Your other objections are noted, but I stand by freeradius as a

I second removing cyrus from Core as it is really special purpose.

dovecot works out of the box. cyrus is useless out of the box, and

Just like desktop environments,
it's really hard to say one editor can
substitute another. Unlike DE-s, text editors are rather small (I use
joe - 200 KiB RPM file, even nano having 1% of joe features is bigger)
and removing them doesn't give this much benefit (meaning saved space)
as removing f.e. KDE (since GNOME is the default, why haven't you list
KDE? :)).
I say let's move vi to Extras - an editor which can't be left with ^C
deserves this! :)
Is pico part of Rawhide now? I thought its licence is the same as pine's
and can't be included, besides, you're using FC3 rpmdb and pico can't be
found there.
Can ed be thought of as a replacement for any full-screen text
editor? :)
Of course I won't go mad if joe is going to be moved to Extras,
downloading 200 KiB will take only 20 seconds on my link, so go ahead,
make my life harder and not gain anything for the Core :)
Lam
No, nano replaced pico. cone (in Extras) is intended to replace
pine.
I don't think nano should be removed from Core. In fact, when cone is
ready, I think it should be brought into Core.
Nano could really do with UTF-8 support. I'm very tempted to ship a CVS
snapshot for that reason, although that's generally not a good thing to
do.
Cone still lacks the capability to get at IMAP servers by rsh/ssh,
doesn't it?

Absolutely the best cli ftp client I have ever used.
Any *other* ftp clients are redundant :p
Yes, there's curl and wget etc. which can download, yes - there's the
standard ftp command, yes - lftp could be fetched from extras, but I
think it should stay - it's not very big, and I bet it is heavily used.
I think the idea behind moving stuff to Extras should not be to move
every duplicate package - if masses of people are just going to yum
install it, and it is small, it might as well be on the install CD.
AbiWord/Gnumeric being large packages that aren't used by a lot of
people are good examples.
lftp (under 1 MB) and lynx (under 2MB) are small packages that are used
by a fair number of people - they should thus not be moved.

The various "automatically run" tools get dangerous because they provide paths
for exploits. There is the obvious binary approach (eg a Windows CD that
has autorun of format/u c: and is labelled PORN) but there are more subtle
tricks too - CD's with movies on them that exploit older video players, or

Cyrus should go then. Dovecot works for any user but Cyrus requires an expert
to set up its way of doing things.
cyrus works great for large number of
users/domains, with authentication
from databases instead of system users. Please keep both (I never used
dovecot, but it looks to work out-of-the-box compared to cyrus). Btw,
cyrus default config should work with system users in the same way live
dovecot?

Last time i checked the closest thing we had was from the desktop
group. http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/desktop/defaults.html
Is that enough of a guide for devilish details? accessibility and
internationalization are mentioned.. but they have buzzword qualities
that might not sink in. Does this need to be re-formulated or at the
very least re-packaged and presented somewhere more prominent? It
would be nice to have a somewhat standardized set of checkbox items so
as each package came up we could weight the pros and cons of competing
details that need to be considered.

Though I mentioned in the another mail on this thread, the
details is simple. even if we use UTF-8 for the default
locale, the web page isn't necessarily UTF-8. but both lynx
and elinks doesn't take care of it. that's all for the
internationalization. We could just ignore it, but it will
make it terrible and unusable thing then.

As I tried to say, nethack-falconseye *includes* the "real" nethack
(version 3.4.1, so it's lagging slightly behind). See my earlier post
how to launch the "real" one instead of the fancy GUI.
As long as a reasonably recent version of the traditional one is bundled
in nethack-falconseye, I think that time would be better spent on
something else. There should be a new NHFE release out soon, which will
probably satisfy also the "current" part of what you want above. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '767cda2f9c983abab0f8de6391a7d26a96bfdaee48f3576037f62c54672d586e'} |
Five Reasons Stories Have Slow Openings, and How to Fix Them
Cover art from the lies of Locke Lamora.
A lot of things can go wrong with a story’s beginning, and one of the most common problems is that it’s just boring. Instead of grabbing readers, the beginning slowly meanders around waiting for the story to start. Even if the narrative picks up later, the damage is already done. Many readers won’t get through a slow opening at all, and those that do will always have that negative first impression. Fortunately, when we look at why beginnings are slow, patterns emerge. Let’s look at some of the most common reasons this happens and consider what we can do about it.
1. Unrelated Framing Device
Cover art from the Name of the Wind
The critically acclaimed The Name of The Wind is about a young Kvothe as he loses his family and struggles to make his way in the world. But that’s not how it starts. Instead, we have seven chapters of an adult Kvothe getting ready to tell his story to a traveling chronicler.* Only then do we finally start the actual story. After that, adult Kvothe has no impact on the book, except as an epilogue at the end. You might expect young Kvothe’s story to catch up with adult Kvothe by the end, but that’s not what happens. If we’re lucky, that may happen in the as yet unpublished third book.
So what does this framing device have to do with the book’s actual story? Absolutely nothing. In fact, you could remove the framing device entirely, and the sections about young Kvothe would be unchanged. All the framing device does is make the reader wait longer for the story to start.
I see this problem all the time in manuscripts I edit, though I have to admit, most of them aren’t seven chapters long. Authors seem to have a fascination with framing devices, as if using them makes a story more sophisticated somehow. I’ve even met the occasional author who felt like they had to put in a framing device as an explanation for how the story was being told, as if audiences wouldn’t accept the narration otherwise.
Instead, all framing devices usually do is slow the story down. Best-case scenario, the framing device is entertaining in its own right, but then readers will be irritated that they have to leave it behind and transition to a completely different story.
How to Fix It
In the vast majority of stories, a framing device is unnecessary and should simply be cut. If you’re set on having one, then it needs to be relevant to the story somehow. In this scenario, how the story is told becomes important to the plot. That’s how the original The Princess Bride novel works. Its framing device is that the narrator is reading you someone else’s story and is always commenting on aspects of the original that he changed or removed, usually to humorous effect.
This kind of narration is really intrusive, and it works best in stories that are supposed to be funny. A framing device that constantly makes itself known is likely to disrupt a more serious drama. That said, it is technically possible to do this in a serious story, just incredibly difficult and not something most writers are ready for.
2. Uninteresting POV Characters
A single man looking at a canal from cover art of Lies of Locke Lamora.
The Lies of Locke Lamora is another novel that cuts between a child and an adult version of the main character, but this time it’s not a framing device. Instead, the young Locke chapters both start the book and continue throughout. They’re even really interesting at the beginning. Young Locke is in trouble for breaking the city’s criminal code of conduct. If he doesn’t shape up and learn his place, he’ll be killed. Exciting! But then we switch to adult Locke whose only problem is trying to steal even more money and add it to the enormous stash he already has but can’t think of a use for. It’s not until much later that adult Locke actually gets a plot of his own.
This situation is one of the many problems that can arise from including multiple viewpoint characters in a story. The author starts the story with a protagonist who has all the right ingredients: a balance of candy and spinach,* a compelling problem, and likable traits. We’re eager to read more. But then the story switches to a different character who lacks those critical elements, and suddenly the story slows to a crawl.
Authors do this because they don’t understand that switching to a new character is essentially starting a new story. They think they’ve already done all the work to start the story properly, so now they can just goof around with a character who won’t be interesting for some time. But a strong opening isn’t a magical charm against the story turning boring. Readers expect the story to be interesting right now; it doesn’t help that it was interesting last chapter.
Even if the second character is actually engaging in their own right, this can still lead to a slow beginning if they aren’t part of the same story as the first character. Fracturing the plot like that makes it feel like the story doesn’t really start until the various threads come together.
How to Fix It
To be brutally honest, the best option is usually to cut the extraneous POV characters. Most stories work better with a single POV character anyway, because it forces authors to focus on what really matters. This kind of darling-murder can be painful, but it’s ultimately for the best.
For extra POV characters to work, they have to have all the same elements that make the primary character worth following, and they have to be part of the same story. The novel Maplecroft is my go-to example for this, with multiple characters investigating the occult happenings in their New England town. If you prefer to get your examples from TV, then look to The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. This show has several main characters scattered across the world, but all of them are involved in the plot of resisting the oppression of the Skeksis.
3. Setting Info Dump
Cover art from Pawn of Prophecy
If you’ve been reading fantasy since ye olden days, then you might recall Pawn of Prophecy, the first book of the Belgariad series. Instead of starting with the protagonist or any other part of the actual story, this novel begins with a prologue that’s nothing but exposition about the gods and their fight over a magic orb. This prologue is over 2,500 words. It’s a short story dedicated entirely to backstory, and other than the possible novelty of thee’s and thou’s, it’s a slog to get through.
Having too much exposition is a well-known problem in speculative fiction. This is especially common for new authors, and it’s an understandable difficulty. The worlds we craft are weird and different – that’s what makes them interesting! But it also makes them hard to explain, requiring more and more words devoted to the task. And if you don’t explain how the setting works at the beginning, readers will be perpetually confused!
That’s all true, but even so, opening the story with a deluge of exposition is a great way to lose readers. Most stories aren’t as blatant as Pawn of Prophecy’s backstory prologue, but you’ll have this problem any time you prioritize worldbuilding over storytelling. Most spec fic readers have seen a lot of unusual worlds, so you can’t count on them being hooked just because yours has enormous hummingbirds that people can fly around on.*
Instead, front-loading exposition like that just puts obstacles in the reader’s way. Since they aren’t attached to the story yet, they just have to push through all the setting info until they find a plot. The worst part is, they probably won’t even remember all that exposition, since they didn’t know why it was important.
How to Fix It
When you’re still in the worldbuilding phase, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by only making the setting as complicated as it needs to be. It’s tempting to throw everything you can think of into the world, but that creates an overburdened mess. If your story is about hummingbird riders, you don’t need to include an intricate system of unusual timekeeping.
In the plotting phase, you need to make the exposition part of the story. Not only is that more interesting, but it will actually make the reader more likely to remember. If a setting is particularly complex, it may benefit you to start your story in a remote part of the world where there are fewer things to explain, then slowly work your way into the more complex aspects. Pawn of Prophecy could have done that, since it starts with a literal farm-boy protagonist who knows nothing about the world, but instead it went with the expository short story approach.
4. Plot Buildup
A stylized orca from the cover of Blackfish City.
Blackfish City is about a family reuniting to free their lost loved one from a corporate prison, but you wouldn’t guess that from the beginning. Instead, this novel takes a leisurely stroll through the main characters’ normal lives, in which no one has to deal with any unusual problems. We see one of them at her job in a politician’s office and another making fast food deliveries. Another finds out he has a terminal illness, but there’s nothing he can do about it so this creates no motivation. There’s no hint of a plot until the characters start to interact and unusual problems emerge.
When nothing out of the ordinary is happening, it means the story has no conflict. No conflict means there’s nothing compelling readers to turn the page and see what happens next. The story is boring, even if the characters are likable and the setting interesting.
While it’s impossible to know a writer’s mind for certain, I’d bet dollars to donuts that Blackfish City is written this way because the author wanted to establish the main characters and then slowly build up to the main plot. This instinct isn’t necessarily wrong. Starting in the middle of a complex plot can be confusing, and readers may not be willing to invest in a conflict they know nothing about.
But Blackfish City, along with a lot of other stories, goes too far in the other direction. We certainly know who the characters are by the time the main plot starts, but there’s nothing to get us there. Nothing seems to be at stake, so why should we continue?
How to Fix It
If your story’s main conflict needs a bit of buildup, that’s fine: start with a smaller conflict. The stakes don’t have to be as high, but they should still matter. Then your smaller conflict should lead into the main one somehow. That way, your readers can ease into the story instead of jumping in all at once.
The Hunger Games is a great example. It doesn’t start off with kids fighting for their lives in a giant arena. That would be confusing. Instead, we start the story with Katniss trying to get enough food for her family. This conflict matters: if she doesn’t get enough food, her family will starve! It also feeds into the main conflict, as it shows the desperation people in the districts face, and it foreshadows the skills Katniss uses to win the games.
5. Introducing a New Character
A humanoid in an armored suit from the cover art of Artificial Conditions.
All Systems Red is a wonderful novella that does not have a slow opening. It starts with a security android trying to keep their human charges safe, with the extra twist that the android is secretly emancipated from human control but doesn’t want anyone to know. Great stuff. Unfortunately, the sequel Artificial Condition can’t say the same. This time, we spend the first section of the book getting to know the AI of a ship the main character has stowed away on. There’s no conflict other than the AI being kind of rude. Instead, it has a whole lot of exposition about where the AI came from and what it does.
This final problem occurs most often in sequels. We’ve already gotten to know the protagonist, usually over the course of an entire book. We know who they are, what they can do, their hopes and dreams. But then the author wants to add a new main character, so naturally we have to pause the story and learn all the same stuff about them.
Not only does this slow down the story, but it’s also just irritating. We have no reason to care about this new character, so why should we have to sit through this laundry list of their traits? The author probably didn’t introduce the protagonist this way, or we’d never have gotten through the first installment to read the sequel.
This is all bad enough assuming that the new character is vital to the story. In that case, at least there’s some payoff for what we put up with. But Artificial Condition doesn’t even have that! The actual story is about the security android finding a new group of humans who need help. The AI is barely involved in it, except as someone to trade quips with over the radio.
How to Fix It
Just like setting info, readers will only enjoy learning about a new character if it’s relevant to the plot somehow. If you want to reveal a lot of information about this new character, then they should be central to whatever is going on. That way, the character’s backstory, personality, and goals can all uncoil naturally as the story moves forward.
Ironically, Artificial Condition actually does this really well, just not with the AI. We learn a lot about the humans our hero is guarding, and none of it is boring because this information actually matters. We learn their relationship to their previous employer when that employer tries to kill them. We learn what skills they have when those skills become essential for escape. We even learn about their romantic entanglements as they argue about who should get out of danger first. It’s some great writing.
When writing a story, the first few chapters need all the help they can get because they’re under the most pressure. No part of storytelling is easy, but those opening sections are often the most difficult. A story’s beginning can be slow for any number of reasons, but the five on this list tend to be the most common. Once you know how to avoid them, you’ll be on your way to an opening that will hook readers and bring them back for more.

I do like a slightly slower start with some stories. Agatha Christie novels, for instance, never start off with the body . They always give a little look into the regular lives of those who will get involved, setting up the characters and allowing for us to get an understanding of who we are dealing with, a guess as to who is going to die, and also who is going to do it. Cosy mysteries do this a lot in general and I like that kind of beginning. On the other hand, if the writer starts off with an interesting situation, bringing in a small conflict (you also sometimes find that with Agatha Christie…), that is also interesting. I’m not a fan of long information dumps and suchlike (I only got any further along with LotR after I jumped over that tobacco essay and started with the story proper).
• Dave L
Yeah, but w/ classical mysteries you KNOW someone is about to die, so there is tension there
Furthermore, if it’s a fair play mystery, then you’re studying it for clues even before the death
• Cay Reet
That’s true. When you pick up a mystery novel, you know that something is going to happen, that there’s going to be at least one murder. You’re looking for clues even before the murder happens.
• Jenn H
To follow on from Dave’s point, murder mysteries come pre-spoilered by the genre they are in. Someone is going to die, so the slow start can be used to build anticipation.
Authors can probably use a similar approach to improve a story with a slow start. The day to day life of people in a small village may be more compelling if the audience knows a dragon is on its way. If a character has one more routine mission to do before they retire, the audience is just waiting for it to go horribly wrong. But slow starts were the plot has no clear direction can quickly result in the audience losing interest.
• Cay Reet
Definitely. Although, to be honest, you do expect for something to happen in a novel and you usually know what genre that novel is. If I read a romance novel, I do expect for romance and the shenannigans alround it to happen. If I read a thriller, I expect for things to get tense and many people being in danger at some point. There’s also usually a suggestion that something will be happening. In a mystery story, that could be several people voicing that person X, the future victim, is insufferable or treating people horribly.

I feel this is the main reason why contemporary fantasy books aren’t doing anything for me. There is so much thought and effort put into giving stories a fancy and unique structure and form, but at the same time nothing fun and interesting is happening.
The most recent fantasy book I really enjoyed was The Sword of Destiny, which was written in 1992. Where has the adventure gone?
• Cay Reet
Sir Terry Pratchett (May the Clacks forever carry his name) always did pretty good with opening chapters (and the rest of his books), so if you like funny fantasy, you could give the Discworld series or his other books a look.
I also like Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next and Nursery Crimes series.
3. Dvärghundspossen
I think this might be particularly important for authors selling books online, where people can read chapter 1 for free, but nothing else.
I mean, in a physical bookstore, you might browse through the book a bit, and you might see stuff that appears really interesting in, like, the middle of the book. But if it’s an online format where you can only read through chapter 1 and can’t look at all at the rest of the book, and basically NOTHING happens in chapter 1… You’re not gonna buy it, at least not unless you’ve seen great reviews of the book or it’s been strongly recommended to you by friends.
• Cay Reet
I do publish online and Amazon lets people see the first three chapters of my books (which might be due to the length of about 3000 words per chapter).
But, yes, if you publish online only, it’s a good thing to give people something interesting in the first one or two chapters, so they’ll want to read on.
• V
Literally one of the reasons some things don’t make my to read/purchase list.
Great, some of the world is explained, we saw something of the character being talked to for the info dump, now why should I care enough to pay money for more?
Nothing to make you care more about it than the back of the shampoo bottle.

#3 remind me of the time when I read the Belgariad in high school. I read the entire series, but I never read the first novel and I don’t remember ever being confused by the plot because I’ve skipped the beginning. Some years later, I’ve found a copy and tried to reread the whole thing from the start, but I never managed to get past the first few chapters because it was so slow, long and (from what I remember) cliche.
I think I did something similar with the Malloreon and skipped the first book without realising it (although this series seems to have a better beginning than the Belgariad, full of knight, evil church and a whole bunch of conspiracies and plots.).
• Oren Ashkenazi
Heh, it’s weird when you can just skip the first part of a book or series and not miss anything. I accidentally started listening to His Majesty’s Dragons at the halfway point and didn’t realize anything was wrong until Chris and I talked about the book and she remembered scenes I didn’t.
• LeeEsq
“Remember, remember the fifth of whatever the Begariad’s equivalent of November is, of orbs, treason, and plot but I can’t think of a reason why Torak’s treason should ever be forgot.”
I have to admit that I like the Belgarid more than I should even more than the first book. Kind of always felt sorry for the Angaraks, particularly the Nadraks. People never had a chance. A crazy evil God selects them as his chosen people and its down hill from there. I’m going to dissent and argue that the Faldor’s farm chapters of the Belgariad work. Yes, they are kind of slow but sometimes that works. It establishes that this is a God heavy but magic rare fantasy universe and that our hero has no idea who he is. It lets us see life in the Belgariad universe from the bottom up and how ordinary denizens understand their cosmology and society.

As my brother, a big advocate for what is called literary fiction, Edith Wharton managed to do all the world building necessary for the Age of Innocence in one or two paragraphs. Even if you are a modern 21st century suburban American with no connection to the wealthy elite of the Gilded Age, you can learn all you need to know about the setting from that opening. Speculative fiction authors take note.
That being said, I’m not sure how solvable this problem is. Even for the most removed real world setting, it is a lot closer to any reader than the nearest speculative fiction setting. We are more likely to meet a King than a dragon or die by sword rather than laser blast. So you need a lot of explanation to get readers to understand the world unless you are going really literary. I think many speculative fiction fans like speculative fiction just as much for what can be called the guide book aspects as they do the plot and the themes. Authors are generally going to give audiences what they want and if they want at least some guide book, we are getting guide books.
• Dvärghundspossen
Just going by my beta readers’ reactions, I had one guy who specifically asked that I insert a long info dump about the history of my world, because he thought that would make the story so much better. I think he even said it’s really frustrating for readers when you don’t get a long “this is the entire history of the world in which this story takes place!”
No one else voiced that opinion though, and one reader specifically said she liked how she totally got this world and how it works (despite the lack of really long info dumps).
So going by super-scientific inductive reasoning based only on Dvärghundspossen’s beta readers ;-): I guess some spec fic readers just LOVE exposition for its own sake… but maybe they’re still in minority?
• Cay Reet
I like how Jasper Fforde brings in the background story of his alternate reality – at the beginning of each chapter there’s a paragraph which is a quote of a book from this reality, detailing something about the world or important characters. Usually, those details also have something to do with what happens in the chapter. The paragraph is clearly set apart as a quote and you can, if you want, just leave it out, but it definitely enriches the world without being a huge info-dump.
• Dvärghundspossen
Yeah, I like that too. I’ve seen that a number of times in different books, not just Fforde’s, and it usually works well if it fits the overall style of the book.

Been worrying about a too slow start.
Start with smaller conflicts and lead into the main one later eh?

.@ukhomeoffice: Stop the extradition of Richard O'Dwyer to the USA #SaveRichard
Richard O'Dwyer is a 24 year old British student at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. He is facing extradition to the USA and up to ten years in prison, for creating a website – TVShack.net – which linked (similar to a search-engine) to places to watch TV and movies online.
O'Dwyer is not a US citizen, he's lived in the UK all his life, his site was not hosted there, and most of his users were not from the US. America is trying to prosecute a UK citizen for an alleged crime which took place on UK soil.
The internet as a whole must not tolerate censorship in response to mere allegations of copyright infringement. As citizens we must stand up for our rights online.
When operating his site, Richard O'Dwyer always did his best to play by the rules: on the few occasions he received requests to remove content from copyright holders, he complied. His site hosted links, not copyrighted content, and these were submitted by users.
Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose. But that does not mean that copyright can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time-honoured moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood.
Richard O'Dwyer is the human face of the battle between the content industry and the interests of the general public. Earlier this year, in the fight against the anti-copyright bills SOPA and PIPA, the public won its first big victory. This could be our second.
This is why I am petitioning the UK's Home Secretary Theresa May to stop the extradition of Richard O'Dwyer. I hope you will join me.
I am writing to you to stop the extradition of British citizen, Richard O'Dwyer to the USA.
I’m concerned about this case because O'Dwyer is not a US citizen, his site (TVShack.net) was not hosted there, and most of his users were not from the US. I don’t understand why America is trying to prosecute a UK citizen for an alleged crime which took place on UK soil. If there was a crime it should be investigated and tried here in the UK, not in the US.
When operating his site, Richard O'Dwyer was careful to always try and play by the rules: on the few occasions he received takedown notices, he complied. His site hosted links, like a search-engine does, not copyrighted content, and these were submitted by users. Both of these are protected in the USA.
Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose. But that does not mean that copyright can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time honored moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood.
I’m aware that both parties in the coalition government criticised the unfair extradition treaty when in opposition, and more recently David Cameron and Theresa May have spoken of the need to review it.
But for Richard there’s no time for a lengthy review. The USA is pushing hard to extradite him now. So please, for Richard and his family stop this extradition. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '78466ee83c9733aed78fc13c83a4ac1c393851abb0bdb867156cd398c76b5b57'} |
New human species homo luzonensis discovered in a Philippines cave
The species is thought to have used stone tools, and its small teeth suggest it might have been rather small-bodied
A new species of previously unknown human has been discovered in the Philippines.
The bones and teeth of the new species, now described as a “hominin”, were found in the Callao Cave on Luzon. Hominins are members of the human family tree that are more closely related to each other than to apes.
The remains of the new hominin contained a mixture of old and new features, in a discovery that could revolutionise accepted theories of human evolution.
The result is that our understanding of evolution in Asia is “messier, more complicated and a whole lot more interesting”, said expert Matthew Tocheri of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
What was found?
In a study released by the journal Nature, scientists describe a cache of seven teeth and six bones from the feet, hands and thigh of at least three individuals.
They were recovered from the largest island in the Philippines in 2007, 2011 and 2015. Tests on two samples show minimum ages of 50,000 years and 67,000 years.
The main exodus of our own species from Africa that all of today’s non-African people are descended from took place around 60,000 years ago.
The new species is known as Homo luzonensis, after the site of its discovery on the country’s largest island Luzon (photo: pixabay)
Homo luzonensis
Analysis of the bones from Luzon led the study authors to conclude they belonged to a previously unknown member of our “Homo” branch of the family tree. One of the toe bones and the overall pattern of tooth shapes and sizes differ from what has been seen before in the Homo family, the researchers said.
They dubbed the creature Homo luzonensis.
It apparently used stone tools and its small teeth suggest it might have been rather small-bodied, said one of the study authors, Florent Detroit of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Homo luzonensis lived in eastern Asia at around the same time as not only our species but other members of the Homo branch, including Neanderthals, their little-understood Siberian cousins the Denisovans, and the diminutive “hobbits” of the island of Flores in Indonesia.
New found species
“There’s no sign that H. luzonensis encountered any other member of the Homo group,” Mr Detroit said. “Our species isn’t known to have reached the Philippines until thousands of years after the age of the bones.”
But some human relative was on Luzon more than 700,000 years ago, as indicated by the presence of stone tools and a butchered rhino dating to that time, according to Mr Detroit. It might have been the newfound species or an ancestor of it.
Mr Detroit said it is not clear how H luzonensis is related to other species of Homo. He speculated that it might have descended from an earlier human relative, Homo erectus, that somehow crossed the sea to Luzon.
H erectus is generally considered the first Homo species to have expanded beyond Africa, and it plays a prominent role in the conventional wisdom about evolution outside that continent. Some scientists have suggested that the hobbits on the Indonesian island are descended from H erectus.

beyonce lookalike
Brittany Williams has been told she looks like a younger version of Beyoncé.
• There's no shortage of people trying to impersonate Beyoncé, but Brittany Williams might have the internet fooled with her uncanny resemblance to the singer.
• Williams is used to hearing how much she looks like Beyoncé, but some fans took it too far when they chased after the lookalike for a selfie.
• Williams admits she doesn't go out of her way to dress like the singer, it's all just "coincidental."
Given that she's one of the most famous people on the planet, there is no dearth of Beyoncé doppelgängers. There are likely thousands trying to impersonate the 36-year-old singer, but only a few are able to fool the internet. We saw it last week with a dancer from the U.K. Now, we're seeing it again with Brittany Williams, a woman from Detroit, Michigan, who might be the artist's most uncanny lookalike yet.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Williams, a production planner, revealed that she's been hearing comparisons to Beyoncé since the singer's Destiny's Child days. The similarities reached an all-time high when Williams and her friend were chased by a mob of BeyHive members who sang "Single Ladies" and banged on her car window until she agreed to take a selfie with them.
"A group of women once chased me and my friend to our car and began singing 'Single Ladies,' beating my friend's car with the heels of their shoes until we rolled down the window and took a picture with them," Williams said.
Along with getting approached "all the time" by convinced fans, Williams claims that she's frequently had her picture taken without her consent. And though she's had a handful of rabid fan encounters, she says most are "friendly."
"I get approached all the time; whether it be on planes, at the airport or while attending events. I've also been chased, had pictures taken of me without my consent and pranks done without me knowing," she said. "Most people are generally friendly though and just want a picture, they often say I look like a younger version of Beyoncé."
Despite dressing up like Beyoncé from time to time, Williams insists that her likeness is "coincidental" and she doesn't go out of her way to look like the singer. She also admits that she isn't "bothered" by the comparisons, and claims that her parents also look like they're in the same bloodline as Beyoncé's parents.
"We both have southern roots. My parents and her parents look like they could be related," she said. "She sings, dances, writes and I am gifted in the same ways; we're both strong dominant women, fearless, and God-fearing."
With any celebrity doppelgänger, there's always a slew of skeptics. To decide on Williams's lookalike potential for yourself, we gathered up her most uncanny selfies. Take a look at them below and make a decision for yourself.

This green-eyed alley cat lives in a small park area in 初台 (Hatsudai, Shinjuku-ku). Like other cats in this area he was not immediately frightened by passers-by, but still was a bit turned off by being photographed. Maybe that’s why the cat is poking out her tongue here. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'd28a0c19a1118e3680ddcec44d040b428281a18bc8acdff5479d481a7206db6d'} |
The feeling of depression one gets when living in a Muslim-governed country during the month of Ramadan.
This is due to the limitation of activities to pursue, limiting the ramadepressed individual to music-less clubs or coffee shops. As most normal activities are inactive, the ramadepressed is bored to tears as frequently as 2 times a day.
Person 1: *sigh*
Person 2: What's wrong little buddy?
Person 1: Oh well, *sigh*, I'm sad :(
Person 2: Oh shit! *looks at the date* Its Ramadan! I'm sorry little buddy, this too shall pass, I think you've got Ramadepression *begins countdown to end of Ramadan*

Overview and Interests
Imagine a world in which computing devices are always on, always connected, invisible and require no maintenance. They know where we are, understand what we are doing and can proactively determine what we require. Enhancing the current interaction between humans and computers requires augmenting their knowledge of the real-world environment, so they can be more responsive and helpful. The main challenge is the deployment of a power-efficient, low-cost and well-connected sensory infrastructure. To enable a computer to act on our behalf in any application, it not only needs to know how to do multiple tasks, but needs to understand the context so it can deliver what we want in a natural manner, at the right time and in the right place. Such fusion of computing and sensing relies on fully miniaturizing and embedding intelligent sensors in everything around us. I am developing a sensor technology which would provide real-time indoor location information on people and objects.

Semantic HTML elements which are now neglected
If everything goes good HTML5.0 will be recommended standard for web in late 2014. HTML5 comes with some new text markup semantic elements but i am not going into them.I’m going to highlight few less commonly used tags and their place in HTML5 recommendations
<q> and <blockquote>
<q> and <blockquote> tags serve the same purpose that is to mark up a section that is quoted from another source. <q> tag is used for short quotations and its cousin <blockquote> for large text.HTML5 specifications continues to be same for both.
<i> and ><b>
These two old good fellas were used extensively during easily days of internet boom but slowly pattern shifted to use CSS for italicising and bolding text.They both are used to emphasise on a term or make some text standout from rest.The <i> tag defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood.The <b> tag identifies text that is stylistically different than normal text, but doesn’t have any semantically different meaning.
According to the HTML 5 specification, the <b> tag should be used as a LAST resort when no other tag is more appropriate.HTLM5 specification for <i> tag ins’t that harsh.HTML5 specifications encourages developers to use CSS Style sheets for italicising and other markup elements to emphasise text <strong> , <mark> , <em> .
As HTML5 dawns upon us these tags have their one foot in graveyard. They had a good run though. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8832945823669434}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '29357', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:CRGHTSFPBFG44OSOQ424QRS5MC6DG2SN', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3768ebbf-f53c-4e60-8dc1-916598c272f7>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 0, 23, 59), 'WARC-IP-Address': '66.198.240.39', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:DD7KNDRGHT4VNKM4WCRW2W3DMVXXWPDO', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0f79d00e-5c70-4c6e-9d44-5b3ce2cb9994>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://codezyn.com/wassup/semantic-html-elements-neglected-2/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:233f753b-6763-4698-b191-4bcab10f1bf1>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '220', 'url': 'http://codezyn.com/wassup/semantic-html-elements-neglected-2/', '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-10-63-206-104.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': '0.20037460327148438', 'original_id': '905192bc7d532fe38b1abf920cd65f8dd38e11ba29cb63027b8e4f41389a486a'} |
50 Biggest Collisions in Sports

50 Biggest Collisions in Sports
0 of 51
At our core, human beings are a savage bunch.
So when we see violent collisions, it really gets our blood pumping.
How else do you explain Philadelphia Eagles fans cheering with glee seeing someone laying on the ground hurt?
Or hollering like a wild man when I see blood shed after one person crashing into another?
Here are the Top 50 Most Jaw Dropping Collisions in Sports.
*Note: Because there are literally thousands of collisions to choose from, and most are forgettable, I most definitely have missed a few. I mean no disrespect to your favorite player or team if I forgot one. It just means I am human. If you give me one that is colossal, I will be happy to include it.
Thank you.
No. 50: Carlos Santana, Meet Adam Dunn
1 of 51
Maybe not the biggest collision of all time, but quite possibly the funniest.
I'm guessing Donkey was mad because he probably struck out three times, twice looking, before this play happened.
No. 49: Two Children at Home Plate
2 of 51
Listen at the beginning.
The PA announcer told them not to run into each other.
And then he declares a tie.
I want to hang out with this guy.
No. 48: Dirty Soccer Tackle
3 of 51
If I saw more of this in the game of soccer, I would watch a lot more.
Instead, I have to watch 140 lb men squirm on the field for five minutes after being slightly tapped.
God, I can't wait for football.
No. 47: Mike Cameron vs. Carlos Beltran
4 of 51
Because the MLB lives in the stone age and isn't near as cool as the NHL or NBA, they don't allow YouTube videos.
But having said that, this hit can't be disrespected.
Mike Cameron needed facial reconstruction after this brutal hit in the outfield.
No. 46: Ronald Petrovicky Sees Stars
5 of 51
Mike Richards decided he didn't want Atlanta to have a team anymore, so he took matters into his own hands.
No. 45: T.J. Ward > Chad Ochocinco
6 of 51
I think this is why Chad Johnson changed his name to Ochocinco.
He couldn't remember his old name after this collision.
No. 44: Darren Woodson > Darrell Jackson
7 of 51
There are a few ways to put a man to sleep.
You can go the way of the woman and sing a calming song.
You can use a common stranglehold know as the sleeperhold.
Or you you can do this.
No. 43: Isaiah Kala Ka'aihue
8 of 51
With all this talk about home plate collisions, these types of collisions are the examples people should talk about when they want a rule change.
I love home plate collisions. When they are clean.
This guy wasn't even in the baseline, making it a dirty play.
Maybe Ka'aihue and his child bearing hips will learn to play nice next time.
No. 42: Milan Lucic > Mike Van Ryn and Glass
9 of 51
Lucic almost quit hockey because he was diagnosed with Scheurmann's disease.
Luckily he didn't, because now I have a great excuse to listen to Walking on Broken Glass by Annie Lennox.
No. 41: Ray Lewis > Dustin Keller
10 of 51
I get excited whenever I know that Ray Lewis is on the field, because I know that I will probably have the honor of seeing a massive and violent hit.
In this instance, I got what I wanted.
No. 40: Rob Blake > Corey Perry
11 of 51
I grew up on baseball.
Admittedly, I don't know much about hockey.
However, I know about cross checks and hip checks.
Is this a cup check?
No. 39: Adam Everett Carlos Lee
12 of 51
Adam Everett's face says it all.
Anytime Carlos Lee is coming at you with a full head of steam, something that will hurt a lot is about to happen.
No. 38: Brian Campell > R.J. Umberger
13 of 51
Sometimes, the comments are more entertaining than the YouTube video itself.
This is 100% true when rap videos are involved.
Blackhawks928 described this hit in Game 1 of the 2006 Stanley Playoffs better than I ever could:
"How would you like your Umberger? Knocked the **** out!!"
No. 37: Niklas Kronwall > Martin Havlat
14 of 51
Havlat later voted that Niklas' name should legally be changed to Brickwall.
The Blackhawks had their revenge a year later when they drank from Lord Stanley's Cup.
No. 36: Ray Maualuga: The Undertaker
15 of 51
UCLA quarterback Patrick Cowan decided to run to the sideline, but before he could reach his destination, Ray Maulaluga did his best to make it his final destination.
No. 35: Niklas Kronwall > Dany Heatley
16 of 51
To answer the announcer's question of why Heatley is going to the locker room, it is because he had to have a psychological evaluation after seeing the face of God after Kronwall's hit.
No. 34: Darius Kasparaitis > Eric Lindros
17 of 51
Keep your head up.
Lindros was out 18 games because of this hit.
No. 33: Ray Lewis > Chad Ochocinco
18 of 51
There are two people in this world I wouldn't ever mess with in the entire world.
One is the fictional character Khal Drago of HBO's Game of Thrones.
The other is Ray Lewis. This is why.
No. 32: Dion Phaneuf > Denny Hamel
19 of 51
Maybe Denny Hamel said he was head over heels over Elisha Cuthbert, so Phaneuf made him pay by putting his heels over his head.
No. 31: Bryan Marchment vs. Kyle Wanvig
20 of 51
The Knee Destroyer Specialist decided it was time for a body check in the middle of the ice.
Unfortunately for Wanvig, he was Marchment's victim when he decided it was time.
No. 30: Darcy Tucker > Sami Kapanen
21 of 51
Sami Kapanen was just standing there, minding his own business and then...
Right in the kisser.
No. 29: Dustin Brown > Matt Cooke
22 of 51
How is your head Cookie?
Listen at the :21 mark.
Somebody yells it, pardon their French.
No. 28: Derek Boogaard > Rene Bourque
23 of 51
This is why they call him the Boogeyman!!!
Actually, I don't know if they do.
Do they?
They should.
No. 27: Simon Dwyer > Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
24 of 51
"Was that a beauty or a bruty?"
Can't it be both?
No. 26: Cory Sarich > Patrick Marleau
25 of 51
That is my puck!
Nobody ever touches my puck!
Man, I love me some excuses to throw out some Happy Gilmore quotes.
No. 25: Scott Stevens > Ron Francis
26 of 51
Scott Stevens has made a living making hits like these.
I honestly think he stays up at night like a madman, just obsessing over destroying someone in the next athletic activity he participates in.
No. 24: Zack Follet > Danny Amendola
27 of 51
It's not the Emerald City.
Or the Windy City.
But it does have Zack Follet burying people, Robo Cop and a high crime rate, so it's Violent City.
No. 23: Pablo Sandoval Gets Kung Fu Panda'd
28 of 51
Before Pablo Sandoval was waddling around the bases as Kung Fu Panda, he was in the minor leagues, taking enormous hits like this one.
He held on as well.
What a badass.
No. 22: The Catch II
29 of 51
When I first saw this hit, I thought T.O. would disappear, similar to the people who disappear in War of the World with Tom Cruise.
No way do I blame Owens for crying after this.
No. 21: Josh Lewsey > Mat Rogers
30 of 51
Rugby is absolutely terrifying and makes all other sports look like ballet.
These hits happen with no pads, no protection, not anything.
I doubled over in pain just watching this.
No. 20: Dion Phaneuf > Rostislav Oslez
31 of 51
Phaneuf referred to this hit as his biggest in the 2004 World Junior Championships.
I can't say I disagree.
No. 19: Ryan Clark > Willis McGahee
32 of 51
I read somewhere in a magazine that I completely made up that Ryan Clark enjoys science fiction.
He likes it so much that he tried to hit McGahee into the 5th dimension.
No. 18: Dunta Robinson > DeSean Jackson
33 of 51
Jackson is still lying on the ground after being buried by Robinson.
Wait, no he isn't.
He is probably relaxing somewhere near a body of water while the rest of us walk around dazed and confused, not knowing whether we will have football or not.
No. 17: Scott Stevens > Eric Lindros
34 of 51
Usually, the 6'4, 245 pound freight train dishes out the extreme punishment.
But when you enter Scott Stevens domain, you will most likely find yourself lying on the ice, wondering what just happened.
No. 16: Storm Catcher Mitch Canham > Rancho Catcher Flint Whipke
35 of 51
Whipke, being on his knees, must have been begging to get buried.
Canham was more than willing to pull out his shovel and start digging.
No. 15: Matt Cepicky > Andy Dominique
36 of 51
Sure, the hit was huge.
But Marlon Byrd in center field everybody!
I have never had the opportunity to truck someone over.
Is it fun?
It looks fun.
No. 14: Random Catcher Collision
37 of 51
What makes this hit even better is that the catcher held on to the ball.
The guy was out.
Talk about getting an out the hard way.
No. 13: Reggie Brown > Junior Rosegreen
38 of 51
The YouTube video cut out just before Chris Tucker ran on to the field and yelled "You just got knocked the **** out!"
Don't worry, Brown is okay now.
He is a practice squad member on the Tampa Bay Bucs.
No. 12: Scott Stevens > Paul Kariya
39 of 51
In his final appearance on this list, Scott Stevens was so afraid of the Mighty Ducks pulling out the unstoppable flying V, he put an end to it before it could start.
No. 11: Cory Sarich
40 of 51
I don't know who the poor soul is who received this hit since there about a total of four pixels on this video.
But what I do know is that I don't think it would be very much fun doing a flip on top of some ice.
Just saying.
No. 10: Buster Posey Hit by Scott Cousins
41 of 51
A lot has been made about this play involving Posey.
Apparently, Cousins has been receiving death threats.
Can we stop being such wussies in today's age and realize that this clean play is part of the game of baseball?
No. 9: Owen Franks Kills People
42 of 51
Anytime a YouTube videos title begins with BONE CRUSHING!!! and the man who is hit is having blood ooze from his head, just know that by the end of the video, I am probably celebrating like a child who just received an N64 on his birthday.
I'm sorry.
I have problems.
No. 8: Quentin Coryatt
43 of 51
Coryatt reminded this wide receiver why they earned the nickname Wrecking Crew.
Good to see a skinny cornerback fist pumping towards a defenseless human being.
No. 7: Anquan Boldin: Man Amongst Boys
44 of 51
If you had told me Anquan Boldin didn't play in the NFL anymore after this hit, I would have believed you.
But I see him playing, and I still don't believe it.
No. 6: Maryland Baseball
45 of 51
I can't make any jokes about his collision in a contest between the Miami Hurricanes and the Maryland Terrapins.
This crap is just plain scary.
No. 5: Scott Stevens > Viktor Kozlov
46 of 51
Just in case the Russians forgot that America dominates everyone, Scott Stevens reminded him in the harshest way possible.
You're telling me Stevens is Canadian?
Well, I guess even our little brother dominates Russia!
No. 4: Johnny Damon and Damian Jackson
47 of 51
In this slide, you get to watch a rare MLB video on YouTube, AND learn something.
Aren't I just amazing?
No. 3: Darrell Reid > Chris Henry
48 of 51
Chris Henry thought he arrived in Never Never Land after Darrell Reid decided to run full speed through him.
No. 2: Pete Rose > Ray Fosse
49 of 51
Probably the most famous baseball collision in the sports history.
Remember, this was in an All-Star game.
Can you imagine this happening in today's All-Star game?
Me neither.
No. 1: Sheldon Brown > Reggie Bush
50 of 51
This collision was in honor of the day of my birth.
All I wanted was a ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, but a collision that created such force that a star could be begat from it works too.

I remember when my salesman approached me on this wine, "Mate, have I got a wine for you and your Club!" he's English so he throws in the occasional Mate or Chap for us Colonials… He explained what he was pitching me, a Bone Dry, Italian sparkling wine that is 15 years old…..needless to say I was a bit circumspect. He continued saying that the wine was 70% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Bianco and had remained on the lees for 12 years. He's actually quite a serious fellow so I said let's pop the cork and see for ourselves, I was actually stunned by the initial aromatics, this was the real thing, it was complex, clean and had a long, lingering nose. I'm used to wines lingering on the palate as this one did but the nose seemed to permeate my local vicinity, engulf me, which was unique. On the palate persistent carbonation, very complex brioche like flavors and a long and yes drawn out finish. I hope you like it as much as I did. (Greg St.Clair K&L's Italian Buyer)

Patrick Juneau was appointed to administer claims after BP and a steering committee of lawyers representing Gulf Coast residents announced a proposed class action settlement of economic and health damages arising from the 2010 oil spill.
The settlement created the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center, an operation supervised by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier. The judge is overseeing the litigation surrounding the blowout of BP's Macondo well and deadly explosion of Transocean's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. The Claims Center replaced an earlier entity called the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
Juneau, a lawyer in Lafayette, La., has served as mediator in more than 2,000 cases in state and federal courts. He spoke with the Chronicle recently at the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center headquarters in New Orleans. Edited excerpts:
Q: How does the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center differ from the Gulf Coast Claims Facility?
A: These are two totally different programs. The Deepwater Horizon Claims Center is a precise, detailed settlement program. It lays out the formula for how you go about determining what your claim is worth and eligibility. It is based on a detailed document, as distinguished from the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, whose detail was significantly less. If a claimant wanted to know about eligibility, it difficult to assess under the GCCF.
My main responsibility is to make sure that the settlement program is settled across the board and that there is equal treatment for everyone. We are not going to short one dime off that settlement agreement.
I report to myself and Judge Barbier and that's it. Barbier's a hands-on guy and asks me for data all the time. This is not a transitory thing to him.
Q: How many people are accepting the claim offers they have received from the Claims Center?
A: We have distributed $572 million (as of Oct. 15) with a current acceptance rate of 73 percent. We are aiming for 90 to 95 percent acceptance rate. The resounding feedback of all these determination letters so far has been incredibly positive, with as high as 90 percent acceptance rate from a variety of people.
Q: Some claimants have expressed frustration that they have not received offers even though they must decide by Nov. 1 whether to opt out of the proposed settlement and sue on their own. Are there any changes to the claim process that you would have made in response to this criticism?
A: We are ahead of schedule of any other case I have ever been on, but somewhere in the mix of things people got expectations. If you look from start to finish over the two years that have lapsed, I would say under anyone's measure of standards, we got to be in the A category, in terms of timing. I want to make it abundantly clear that this office has never sent out a false expectation of what we are doing.
Q: How has your relationship been with the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee and with BP and how do you resolve differences?
A: Overall, it has been very good. There are decisions that I have had to make that have cut on both sides. There are a lot of hot button issues because we are dealing with a lot of money. But overall, the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee and BP, I think they would both tell you we have handled this thing in a balanced manner.
My task is to implement this settlement agreement; I am not the architect of the settlement. This judge gave his preliminary approval, and if it is a clear term in the settlement agreement by federal order, I cannot change that. But there are things in the agreement that refer to the discretion of the claims administrator and I establish those rules.
Q: What is the significance of this case and the settlement process?
A: There has never been a case of this magnitude or a settlement this complex and detailed. We get calls from Japan, from Europe, from New Zealand - they are tracking this case all over the world. They want to know what is the model for a massive litigation, should something like that happen again. We are attuned to that.
Q: What is your view of the settlement and the objections to it that some claimants have raised?
A: Those are matters that are before Judge Barbier, and I will implement what Barbier tells me to implement. I don't have a solid opinion to those objections. I have read this settlement from front to end, and I think it is a very thoughtful and precise document that gives a lot of rights to a lot of people. It is a very claimant-friendly document. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9790107011795044}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '189338', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:CYFHIDKEMFCBHBVBKEIUFFUWXCB4KTVI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c8ec2c43-6a99-4bff-986b-61d3d1b43422>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 19, 19, 49, 51), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.32.204', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:LMBR5MBENEFO2VWSDLKOSQEPGBWNPW3R', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d044b9ef-0494-4046-8aaa-829c2203ad45>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Q-amp-A-Oil-spill-claims-chief-weighs-in-3994457.php', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dc290b81-73aa-4f4c-8953-949f6f091fad>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '777', 'url': 'http://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Q-amp-A-Oil-spill-claims-chief-weighs-in-3994457.php', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-142-152-56.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-39\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.07000434398651123', 'original_id': 'df61b17dd936715db1ca886545005d097ef532ca92ecdf5ba4c2e5637abc8081'} |

Windsor Cracks His Case Open
As I continue to chronicle, among all the other things that Bill is including an American terrorist, he is first and foremost.....unbelievably stupid.
Whodunnit? ummm, you. Next question Who falsified physical evidence to charge William M. Windsor with a FELONY?
Criminal charges have been filed with the Missoula Police Department and will be filed with the U.S. Attorney and the FBI. And the supreme chancellor of the galactic federation
Someone manufactured a Tweet... either that or you are incredibly stupid
Someone has manufactured a Tweet where have I heard that before? ohh yeah previous sentence in order to charge William M. Windsor with a felony.
I discovered this just yesterday. Sometimes I don't see the trees for the forest. you also don't have both oars in the water There's so much stuff flying (stuff: made up lies and crazy conspiracy theories meant to distract everyone from my criminal behaviour) around that I haven't focused on the alleged evidence against me -- a few sheets of paper printed allegedly online. "pro se baby!!!"
I needed to go to the Lawless America YouTube Channel to check on a statistic. I noticed the video that was done when I was served with the Temporary Order of Protection on August 23, 2013. This video was allegedly Tweeted by me on December 30, 2013. But it wasn't. I don't Tweet. We who the hell is we? have automatic Tweeting applications on various websites that send a Tweet when something is posted. This video was posted on August 23, 2013. I was recovering from a fractured skull you never did recover remember? on December 30, 2013, and the YouTube account will show that nothing was posted by me on that date and any time before or after that.
All of a sudden, I noticed the title of the video. shouldn't you have noticed that right off?
The title of this video is: “Bill Windsor is banned from the University of Montana. Corruption at its finest.” It does not mention Sean Boushie as the manufactured evidence Tweet does.The State of Montana claims the Tweet is titled: “Bill Windsor is banned from the University of Montana and Sean Boushie. Corruption at its finest.”
This sentence does not make sense. I don't not write sentences like this that do not make sense. like how you can't see the trees from the forest?
Yes folks there you have it. After nearly a year since he has been arrested and charged with these crimes.....after hours of intense focus.....Windsor has figured out that he didn't send out the tweet. This is mainly due to the fact that he doesn't tweet or have any idea how. Some might say what took him so long? But I would say its about right. Remember, we are dealing with someone with the body of a very old man and the mind of a small child. Taking a year to discover he didn't tweet the tweet because he doesn't know how to tweet is about par for his course.
The main reason bill can't see the trees from the forest (or even vice versa), is because he isn't in the forest, he's in his own desert. He is a nomad wandering around in a wasteland reporting on every mirage that crosses his eyes.

A Wicked Offer?
Have Bill Windsor and Lawless America finally inspired a television series?
There's a new show featuring one of the key players in Bill's plethora of vexatious lawsuits. Weasel Curly has his own new reality show on the CW.
Here's what the CW has to say about this new series:
In the outrageous, darkly comic, one-hour docuseries A WICKED OFFER, couples who need some extra help in making their dreams a reality are presented with a series of Faustian bargains, as they must decide to complete various scandalous and controversial tasks involving their unsuspecting friends, families, and co-workers for cash prizes. With each challenge testing the couple’s moral and ethical boundaries, the couples must weigh the potential havoc wreaked on their relationship with each other and with everyone involved. As each task is completed, the stakes and the cash value are raised, forcing the couple to decide how far they’re willing to go for money.
Was Bill Windsor featured on the un-aired pilot for the series? Was Allie the first recipient of this lawyer's wicked offers? If she were, how could she say no? Attorney Matthew J O'Connor is definitely easy on the eyes. 6 foot 2 inches of good looks, charm, style, and just the right amount of ruggedness that a woman can't help but go weak at the knees over. And that voice? Smooth and mellow with just a hint of manly gravel. (not at all like the wobbly tremored voice of a certain nervous old man) Oh, you know what else doesn't shake? That's right, his hands. I can finally see why Bill was so intimidated by the man he chose to call Weasel Curly. Bill must have felt like a worthless shaking blob of fatty gelatinous goo next to Matt. Bill should always feel this way, but being in the presence of Matt O'Connor obviously drove this reality home. And, to add insult to injury, now Matt has the T.V. show and audience that Bill has always wanted.
Bill couldn't get a show on television even if he paid for it.
Maybe if he'd just signed on the dotted line . . . .
Blood money. Was it worth it? Yes.

Bill Finally Realizes He's About to Get the Boot
Its all fun and games until Bill Windsor actually has to show up to prepare for his pro se criminal case. What was supposed to be a eye opening "deposition" with his sworn advisory Sean Boushie, turned into Bill's own Crying Game as he learned that the crux of his whole defense is actually a federal violation of law. Bill planned to go into that court room next month and mockingly say how could he commit a crime in MT when he was busy committing the crime in TX? DA Jennifer Clark pointed out how Bill just admitted to committing a federal crime as this would be crossing state lines. She also informed Bill that she had turned that information over to the proper authorities. Windsor went into full freak out mode at that point....which means he goes to his little keyboard to hunt and peck out another fictitious rendition of what happened. Mrs. Clark was none too happy with Windsor's wild misrepresentation of what she said.
"From: Jennifer Clark
To: windsorinmontana@yahoo.com
Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 2:57 PM
Subject: False information
"Mr. Windsor:
"I have been advised of information you posted on your website that I told you to expect Federal Charges. This is a misrepresentation and I would like you to correct the false information that you are sharing.
"thank you"
At this point I kinda have to wonder if anyone gave Jennifer the basic scouting report on just what it is she is up against? If he went on his website and actually properly represented what happened he wouldn't be Bill Windsor. It is impossible for him to tell the truth. Then we get this:
UPDATE: 7:46 PM ON AUGUST 18, 2015
I just received this from Jennifer Clark:
"You did misrepresent what I said because I never said it was in the hands of the U.S. Attorney's office. You have made several misrepresentations and if it continues during trial, I will ask for sanctions. Your recklessness with the facts is concerning."
Here is my response to Jennifer Clark:
"What misrepresentations? You say I have made several. Let's hear them.
"I believe you said it was in the hands of the U.S. Attorney. That was my understanding. "It's up to the U.S. Attorney," or words to that effect. If you want to type up what you believe you said, I will be delighted to publish it.
"I have no desire to misrepresent facts. You do it too well.
"I need my freedom of information documents. May I send a courier to pick them up tomorrow?
"I will update this article with your latest email"
Mrs. Clark has had to deal with murderers, rapists and various hardcore convicts on a daily basis......but I'm not sure she has ever encountered someone as detached from reality and truly deranged as Bill is.
Bill goes on to play his little 3rd grade tactic of "nuh uh you can't sanction me I'm going to sanction you". Junk yard bullying at its most primitive level. But all of these threats, insults and grandstanding serve to try and deflect from the very obvious fact that Bill Windsor has well below average intelligence. He is out of his element. All of these different laws and statutes are hard for his simple mind to understand. You combine that with an ego that would even make Hitler blush, and what you get is an out of control oversized manlike creature with the mind of a child. The more he can't understand the more he screams conspiracy and corruption. That's the only way a narcissist with a simple mind can cope with a complex world that completely surrounds him.

Windsor Burns Down His House
Its been an excruciatingly long, hot, but most of all boring summer for Bill. Even he admitted he has been boring by his own standards. Instead of trying to focus and work on his looming criminal trial in Montana, Bill has been subjecting his 4 remaining followers to watching his home made vacation movies in the form of his 780 Lawless America Movie pics (which are all Windsor selfies btw). He's also become addicted to the drug like high one gets from reposting news articles on your facebook page that you read from the news feed on your browser's home page.
That is not to say that Windsor hasn't continued his vexatious ways. We have a new lawsuit in his fictitious home of South Dakota against only fictitious internet names. Real people tend to defeat him in court.....especially when they have attorneys on hand. So let's just keep that pesky reality as far away as we can from Bill's court room.
The Texas 10th Court of Appeals gave Bill his theme letter for the summer. D...as in denied. They also noted Bill's blatant attempt to hornswoggle them with his premature filings and then trying to go back and amend them as if done correctly. With Ellis County DA still holding the cards to file charges on Bill for his bond jumping escapade once the Montana trial is over.....I would say Texas isn't on his list of happy places.
Which brings us to Montana. The Missoula DA gave Bill and offer he couldn't refuse. It would take a completely insane person (like someone who had lost his mind) to refuse an offer that would keep the words Convicted Felon from always preceding his name. Ironically, DA Jennifer Clark's can't refuse offer included a mental evaluation for Bill. Instead of taking the more than generous offer, Bill decided to burn down his house. He has never done anything wrong in his entire life, just ask him, so why plead guilty to anything? Ever? Now, his trial is almost a month away, he still hasn't found a decent defense for himself but why fret, his charm and wit will overwhelm that court room and dazzle the jury as they will surely find him not guilty. And even if he fails and is forced to serve a prison sentence against his will and pro se, he's got a really good feeling about his appeal. His warning to the world is that even if they lock him back up....his domestic terrorist activities will not cease as he has a legion of unseen minions ready to continue his cause of dishonesty, corruption, stalking, and lawlessness. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9769853353500366}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '115977', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:NCY2T7AQLBR6IRIGXQI4XU6ZNG2KUKLD', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2d7c7bbf-4f2a-44e9-9299-f42bfdd0a40d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 21, 12, 13, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.3.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:N2R2OPS5C4FXOG2PKRAEPJ3WSV5BZVFP', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a0676c11-edfa-4a9f-b9a0-01ee7b649f77>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://joeyisalittlekid.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b47a10dc-f19d-4058-89a5-0a862f3816f3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1917', 'url': 'http://joeyisalittlekid.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-178-166-219.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-39\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.049028635025024414', 'original_id': '8aaa41830b5a5fefc794d9576d7ca4e6ea2f55ddd228d8c707ec5c9642acb020'} |
Q:
Difference between protected and without
Hello everybody I have this code in Kotlin for Android but I don't know why it does not work. Here is my code:
package com.test.tictac
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.Toast
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
}
protected fun buClick(view: View) {
val buSelected = view as Button
var cellID = 0
when(buSelected.id) {
R.id.bu1->cellID = 1
R.id.bu2->cellID = 2
R.id.bu3->cellID = 3
R.id.bu4->cellID = 4
R.id.bu5->cellID = 5
R.id.bu6->cellID = 6
R.id.bu7->cellID = 7
R.id.bu8->cellID = 8
R.id.bu9->cellID = 9
}
Toast.makeText(this,"ID:"+ cellID, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
I tried a lot of things and according to me when I remove protected for the function buClick it works but is there a way to make workable with protected? Thank you very much!

A:
The android:onClick takes a method name as value.
This name must correspond to a public method that takes exactly one parameter of type View.
Adding protected to the method reduces the visibility from public which is required by the framework.

Opinion: SAT test-optional is not really optional
Josh Barde
Even though SAT for some colleges is test optional, it still has a significant impact on college admissions.
The University of California Board of Regents voted to make the ACT and SAT optional in May of 2020. Now a year later, the entire UC system has decided they will no longer accept SAT scores for fall 2022 applicants as a part of the admissions decisions. This is a significant leap for our public education system but has also created some controversy.
For almost a century, the SAT and ACT have been a vital part of college admissions, allowing colleges to compare all students from different high schools. However, recent social changes have brought up that these testings are discriminatory towards students at a disadvantage, such as those from low-income backgrounds, people of color, and those with disabilities.
The SAT does not give all students a fair chance to get into colleges. Personally, I was fortunate enough to have a tutor to prepare for the SAT, but I know that many students are unable to receive that kind of help, which puts them at a disadvantage when applying to colleges,” Sophia Stone, a senior, said.
Arguably, the public education system has not changed, keeping the same principles and ways of teaching. With this, the SAT continuously makes it difficult for poverty-stricken students to receive the resources they need to get a high SAT score and better their chances of being accepted into college. This has caused controversy over the reliability and the necessity of the SAT, questioning whether the SAT is an accurate measure of academic skills needed for success in college.
SAT Demographics by Niamh Marren
Some may say that because low-income students are provided fee waivers covering two free SATs and six free SAT subject tests, the test is entirely fair for all students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. However, these fee waivers do not cover SAT classes and private tutoring. SAT tutoring, which is highly expensive, has been proven to increase one’s overall test score. In addition, only having two attempts to take the test might not be enough for the average student to improve their score.
Research has shown that students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds have significant advantages during the college application process than students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Family income, parents’ education, and race have accounted for 35% of the variation in test scores among applicants to any UC school in 2011.
Although colleges have repeatedly strived towards more equality for all students through providing more affordable tuition with scholarships and aid, the underlying problem of expanding access is still a considerable problem.
“Some elite colleges have focused more on being affordable to low-income families than on expanding access. ‘Free tuition only helps if you can get in,’ said Danny Yagan, an assistant professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley,” said Gregor Aisch, Larry Buchanan, Amanda Cox, and Kevin Quealy from the New York Times
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more colleges have decided to make the SAT test-optional. This means that colleges will no longer require students to submit their SAT scores as a part of their college admissions process. While this may seem like a good thing, and students may be glad they no longer have to take the dreaded and stressful test, this is not true. Although colleges say they no longer require the SAT, that does not mean you do not have to take it.
The schools you apply to take the SAT into consideration while reviewing your application, and there is definitely a bias towards those who were able to submit scores ”
— Sophia Stone
“It never hurts to take the SAT. The biggest thing is that you are showing you can take a test and want to put in the extra work. Meaning test-optional does not really mean test-optional because not taking it is still a detriment to your college applications,” Chris Damaskos, a first-year STEM Major, said.
This begs the question of whether or not you need to take the SAT to get into college. The short answer is yes. For the near future, unless the college you’re applying to will not accept your SAT score, it is still necessary for your college admissions. However, it goes without saying that your GPA and the rest of your application are still critical. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '11', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9678897857666016}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '167879', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2NNBWDKK56FJ6EKOQZRGTQCBX44LUZIQ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2ef6105c-50be-4af3-bf9a-614ba75052d2>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 11, 28, 22, 24, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.21.17.71', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:LDTHGW4B6RMNHAOBV4KRNZGHBZYA3LTM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:88153821-4646-44b2-a748-1aace7fcef1c>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://scotscoop.com/opinion-sat-test-optional-is-not-really-optional/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:bd37d3e8-af5f-42d3-b46b-eee7acbf78fb>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '729', 'url': 'https://scotscoop.com/opinion-sat-test-optional-is-not-really-optional/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-49\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November/December 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-70\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.028486967086791992', 'original_id': '1b0cf340d1e4fec9afac035a32a5816562816f108b6dee39392f3506f819b1c6'} |
Benefits of CPA certification
, , Comments Off on Benefits of CPA certification
Benefits of CPA certification
Becoming a CPA or Certified Public Accountant is no easy task. In many countries around the world, getting a CPA certification requires passing a board exam after accomplishing the required school credits in the field of accountancy. While some people let go the chance of getting certified, others meanwhile desire to get CPA certification because of various benefits and advantages. Some of these benefits are the following:
1. Recognition
Not all accountants or graduates of accountancy courses will become CPAs and so all who get certified will instantly get recognition and the respect they deserve. Being certified basically means that a person is recognized by his peers and other people that he/she is a qualified and competent accountant.
2. More career options
Many companies and organization s hire only certified accountants or CPAs. Through the certification, fresh graduates for example are able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills to potential employers even without experience. CPA certification also means that a person has an edge over other applicants in the same position. It is also common for many companies to offer various career development options for those who are certified in the field of accountancy.
3. Better pay
When it comes to income, getting a CPA certification is a sure way to get better pay compared to a generic pool of accounting course graduates. With CPA certification comes recognition and prestige on one’s abilities and skills and many organizations typically offer higher salary packages to those who are certified compared to those who are not.
Getting a CPA certification basically makes people stand out from the rest of the field when it comes to job hiring or promotions. This kind of certification is also accepted by various organizations in different countries and this is why students of accounting-related courses are advised to get CPA certification in order to have better options later in life.

How in the world did Laura Ingall Wilder do it? Our power was out ALL NIGHT yesterday and I tried, first, to read by flashlight and then to read by candlelight and both were giving me a headache. So I just went to bed. 9:30pm! Can you believe it?
For [livejournal.com profile] marvel_bang, I've decided to do my "where are the other Avengers during Iron Man 3" story idea that sort of segues with the "how did Natasha get that necklace" idea. I also finally read the first Hawkeye comic book (the first four? plus a Young Avengers) and I have Clint feels! Lots of Clint ideas and inspirations. PLUS, Coworker thinks she has a really cool idea for an arrow necklace!!! I will take pictures when/if she gets it done.
I haven't heard back from the school district on the librarian job. It's only been about a week and a half and, let's be serious, it is a government entity so it's not like they'll move on this quickly. Still... I REALLY WANT THIS JOB! I've been working through some of the things I want to tell them in the interview. Like, for instance, I can read upside down at the same speed that most everyone else can read normal. That sounds like a great talent for an elementary school librarian to have, right? RIGHT?
I'm reading one of the newer Archie McNally books written by Vincent Lardo. While I'm glad that someone is taking over the series, I also find that I don't like them as much. The great thing about the original McNally was his obsession with his wardrobe and his meals. It was clear that nothing else mattered to him. No wonder he never asked Connie to marry him! She was just a mannequin for beautiful outfits or a second plate at his favorite restaurants. In this book, his single status weighs on him entirely too much. He REASONS it out. No, that's not what Archie does. But I still like the heart of the books so I'll read the rest of them. I'll just mourn Lawrence Sanders all the more.

Rebecca Zahau Found Bound & Hanged at California Mansion: Murder or Suicide?
For the past few years, 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau (also known as Rebecca Nalepa) had been dating Jonah Shacknai, the multimillionaire founder of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, which makes treatments for acne and wrinkles. He’d bought a $13 million mansion in Coronado, California…
Jonah Shacknai-Rebecca-Zahau.JPG
Two days before Rebecca was found hanged, her boyfriend Jonah Shacknai’s 6-year-old son fell down a stairway. Reports say he may be brain-dead.
Rebecca was staying there last week, and no one seemed to notice that she was feeling down or suicidal.
Then Adam Shacknai, Jonah’s brother, found her naked and hanging from a rope off the balcony. She was already dead.
But what makes this story different is that when police were summoned, they found her hands bound behind her back. Her feet were also bound together.
Police still aren’t sure if it was a murder or a suicide. It would seem unlikely that a woman would strip naked before killing herself. It would also seem unlikely that she would physically be able to hang herself with her hands bound behind her back. But stranger things have happened.
Detectives are awaiting toxicology reports.
Adding to the mystery is that just two days before, medics were again summoned to the mansion. This time they found Jonah’s 6-year-old son not breathing and unconscious. It seems that he’d fallen down a stairway.
His parents announced this morning that he had died.
What’s even weirder is that neighbors say there was a loud party at the mansion on Tuesday night, the day after the little boy was injured, and the day before Rebecca was found hanged. (Special thanks to reader Mecede for the tip.)

The Emblem
Once, in 1901, Ranada Prasad Dasgupta, the founder and professor of Jubilee Art Academy, Calcutta, paid a visit to Swami Vivekananda at Belur Math. Ranada Babu, as he was popularly called, was an expert artist, well read in his field, and an admirer of Swamiji. During his visit, Swamiji discussed with him various topics related to art and architecture. In the course of their conversation, Swamiji showed him the sketch of the Emblem depicting this synthesis of yogas that he had in mind. An excerpt from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda:
Then Swamiji had the design which he had sketched for the seal of the Ramakrishna Mission brought, showed it to Ranada Babu and asked his opinion on it. It depicted a lake in which a lotus blossomed, and there was a swan, and the whole was encircled by a serpent. Ranada Babu at first could not catch the significance of it and asked Swamiji to explain. Swamiji said, ‘The wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of Karma; the lotus of Bhakti; and the rising-sun, of Jnana. The encircling serpent is indicative of Yoga and the awakened Kundalini Shakti, while the swan in the picture stands for the Paramatman (Supreme Self). Therefore the idea of the picture is that by the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti, and Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained.’
Thus Swami Vivekananda summarized the ideal of harmony of Yogas. Let us try to understand how different aspects of the emblem symbolically represent the four yogas.
1. Wavy Waters (karma yoga)
Swamiji points to the wavy waters as symbolic of Karma. Karma means activity. According to Sri Ramakrishna, the Ultimate Reality has two inseparable characteristics—static and dynamic. The same reality, which is static, when active, becomes dynamic. He said that these two sides of the Ultimate Reality are as inseparable as fire and its burning power.
Wavy waters represent the dynamic aspect of reality. Water is one of the five elements, which, according to Hindu cosmology, constitute the whole of the visible and invisible material world. Purusha Sukta says, ‘From water came creation (adbyah sambhutah).’ This idea of creation states that though One, the Ultimate Reality, decided to become many. From this was born Hiranyagarbha (the Golden Womb) and from that came all elements of nature including water.
Like wavy water, this world of Karma is always in motion. It is ever changing, ever taking new forms, creating fresh situations and perspectives. That is what this world is—a bundle of constant change. In Sanskrit, this ever-changing world is often called bhava-sagara, the ocean of relative existence. A karma yogi learns to travel through this restlessness of change by remaining calm and detached. He is like the proverbial lotus leaf which never gets wet though it is in touch with water always. Sri Ramakrishna best describes the ideal of a karma yogi when he likens the human mind to a boat. He said that the boat can be in water, but the water should not be in the boat.
Karma Yoga is the art of remaining detached, unaffected by the results of action, good and bad. It is not running away but facing the challenges of life through skilful action. As Swami Vivekananda said, ‘Do not fly away from the wheels of the world-machine, but stand inside it and learn the secret of work. Through proper work done inside, it is also possible to come out.’
Water, thus, is a symbol of Karma Yoga.
2. Lotus (bhakti yoga)
The lotus also represents purity and non-attachment, and is a symbol of Bhakti or love for God. Most people let their love flow towards the world. But a devotee redirects his love only towards God, who resides in one’s heart. Though God is present everywhere, it is in the heart, our spiritual centre, that he manifests most. The heart of the devotee is the ‘Lord’s drawing room.’
Loving God does not mean offering an elaborate ritualistic worship but offering one’s love and heart to him. God is pleased not by what is given to him but how that is given to him. Narada calls Bhakti or love of God as its own greatest reward. Bhakti is not a means to an end, but an end in itself.
Lotus, thus, is a symbol of Bhakti Yoga.
3. Rising Sun (jnana yoga)
Knowledge is always compared to light. For, like light, knowledge reveals the truth. It removes the cover of ignorance. Traditionally, sun has been considered the God of knowledge or light. Millions of Hindus chant Gayatri Mantra everyday, praying for knowledge and awakening of the higher intellect to the presiding deity of the sun (savitr). According to Swamiji, rising sun represents Jnana or the path to Jnana. Jnana yoga aims at removing the covering of ignorance that envelops the atman by purification of mind and negation of the very existence of ignorance. It is the path of ‘not this, not this.’
Jnana yoga is not about gaining more and more knowledge about the objects of the senses, or to have more ideas contained in books, but it is a process of dis-covering the inherent Self. It is a search for the subjective knowledge, and ultimately, through that, discovering the underlying existential foundation of the whole world and even beyond. It is a journey of the alone to the Alone, which is of the nature of Existence-Knowledge-Bliss (sat-chit-ananda).
Rising Sun, thus, is a symbol of Jnana Yoga.
4. Encircling Serpent (raja yoga)
Serpent represents Kundalini. Kundalini actually means ‘coiled up.’ Hindu scriptures emphatically confirm the presence of a latent spiritual power present in everyone and call it Kundalini. In the physiological framework, Kundalini is supposed to lie at the base of the spinal column—the first and the lowest of the six chakras (centres) along the spinal column. When this kundalini power is asleep, as it were, one remains busy with eating, sleeping and procreating. For such a person, the world begins and ends only in attending to one’s material needs. It is only when he begins to live a life of self denial, service, and prayer (i.e., when the higher life begins to appeal to him), the upward journey to higher centres commences.
A systematic approach to channelling and guiding of one’s spiritual power has been expounded in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The basic principle of this yoga of mind control is to dis-identify us from the body-mind through meditation and concentration. This path is called the Royal Path, Raja Yoga, because it is the most direct approach to the science of spirituality.
Encircling Serpent, thus, is a symbol of Raja Yoga.
5. Swan (paramatman)
The swan is a symbol of the Ultimate Reality for more than one reason. Swan represents knowledge born of the discrimination between the Real and the unreal. This is based on the belief that if milk diluted with water is given to a swan, it sips only the milk, leaving the water behind. Water represents ignorance or the unreal. Milk symbolizes knowledge or the Real. Upanishads speak of Hamsa-Gayatri (mantra in praise of hamsa or swan), which is chanted during certain rituals.
Om hamsa hamsaya vidhmahe paramahamsaya dhimahi / Tanno hamsah prachodayat Om. May we know the Light of lights. For that, we meditate on the Supreme Light. May the Divine Light impel us towards it.
One of the interpretations of hamsa is Sun, representing Light and Knowledge. Srimat Bhagavatam (11.13:15-21) even mentions imparting of knowledge by God in the form of a hamsa.
Swami Vivekananda believed that by the combination of these four yogas (Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Raja Yoga), the experience of the Supreme Reality (represented by Swan) can be had. Not only that. Realizing the Supreme Reality is the real, ultimate aim of human existence, too. Religion becomes fulfilled only when one experiences that Reality. Says Swamiji, ‘If there is God, we must see Him; if there is a soul, we must perceive it . . . ’
The Ideology
1. God realization is the ultimate goal of life:
2. Potential divinity of the soul:
3. Synthesis of the Yogas:
4. Morality based on strength:
5. Harmony of Religions:
a. Harmony within Hinduism:
Sri Ramakrishna did not identify himself with any particular sect of Hinduism but accepted Hinduism as a whole. He showed that Dualism, Non dualism and other schools of Hindu philosophy represent different stages of the integral experience of Reality, and that the various Hindu Deities are different aspects of one supreme Godhead. His message has brought about a great deal of harmony among the Hindu sects, and Sri Ramakrishna himself has become the symbol of the unity of Hindu religion.
b. Harmony among world religions:
6. Avatarhood of Sri Ramakrishna:
7. A New Philosophy of Work:

Where to go for Jazz Brunch
Family is coming for the holidays and would like to enjoy a traditional jazz brunch. I have not been to Court of Two Sisters, Arnoud's etc in many years. How are they? Any places you would suggest?

1. Commanders is generally regarded as being tops in that category. I would stay away from the two sisters.

1. Commander's # 1. Antoine's or Arnaud's # 2 and # 3. French 75 Bar at Arnaud's is outstanding.
Arnaud's @ 813 Bienville Street, New Orleans, LA 504 - 523 - 5433.
1. At the complete other end of the dining spectrum from Commander's, we're thinking of going to Buffa's for their Sunday jazz brunch. Any recent feedback?

1. re: gort
Only to express some surprise that Buffa's does a jazz brunch. Its pretty much a dive bar that makes good burgers. Could be great, who knows, would be interested to know as well.
1. re: CharlieH
Yes, I was surprised as well. They apparently have a 3-piece band...? Will definitely report back if we go.
1. re: gort
They have a large dining room behind the bar (you'll have seen it if you've used the restrooms) which is where the brunch occurs. I've never had the brunch food, but I frequently go there for the burgers, which I love. They have $2 mimosas during brunch, but they're kind of small. If you go, keep in mind it's cash only, with an ATM in the bar.
2. re: gort
Just wanted to report back on this. We had a great time at Buffa's. Got there around 11 and walked through the bar to the dining room, although if you don't want to go through a thick haze of cigarette smoke you can use the side doors on Burgundy. Bloody Marys were large and spicy, the omelets were solid and the band was a lot of fun. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived, but when we left a bit before noon most tables were filled. We're looking forward to going back for a burger on our next visit.
3. Another good Sunday Jazz Brunch spot in the FQ is Muriel's. Definitely listen to Charlie H on the 2sisters scene. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '7', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9719508290290833}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '107634', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5RPLT3XHLZ74SF5SRVB4BLLCLCVJDLXH', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:921f89ce-0738-4a8c-9535-de422310d0b3>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 2, 18, 16, 51), 'WARC-IP-Address': '64.30.228.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:YQ5BO2NHMBMV3O5RWBKATGLFWLS4EWDY', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a5000fc5-e8eb-4717-a313-7fecfa72012f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/746441', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:115c4ec5-fa1c-4595-b242-2a4802298ac8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '399', 'url': 'http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/746441', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-22\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.2895846366882324', 'original_id': 'a88085b719896e3c12de63677e58e7a632e136ce582c3a5d50a7a31a088c7c18'} |

Understanding Blood Pressure Reading
When the nurse wraps the cuff around your upper arm and then announces two seemingly random numbers, what’s going on? Two forces pump the blood through our bodies, the first being created by the heart contracts and pumps blood out into the arteries, and the second occurs when the heart rests between beats and the heart muscle is refilling with blood. These two forces are known as systole and diastole respectively, and are the numbers you see on a blood pressure reading. The systolic pressure is the top number (or the first one read) and is the higher number, and the second number is diastolic, and is the lower number. So the next time you get your blood pressure read, remember the first number is referring the force of blood being pumped away, and the second number is the heart at rest refilling with blood. The systolic number should be less than 120, while the diastolic number should be less than 80. Anything higher and you enter pre-hypertension and hypertension.

how many hawthorn balls do i take per day?
2. Elena says:
I recently was put back on HBP medication for my blood pressure. I’m only doing this to get it back on track along with cholestrol meds too. I started drinking cider vinegar and honey in my water, along with watching my diet closer and I already exercise I’m hoping these remedies help me too. Where can I get this book?
3. Colleen says:
Heart Healthy Hawthorn balls, i didn’t see any recommended serving size for these. How many should be taken how frequently for patients with high blood pressure.

Watermelon do the job better in this case, for treatment i think ginger give you best result. thank you 🙂
6. Rachel says:
where can you get elderberries and can you use blueberries from the store or do they have to be dried

7. Frank says:
Niacin, Niacin, Niacin! Vitamin B3 – seriously – and it works fast.
• Darrin says:
How much niacin are you taking for elevated bp? I was taking it for anxiety for years and it really helped, but recently my Dr asked me to stop it as I was having some incidents of dizziness and she thought it may be related…I was taking 1500 MG, 3× daily for effective anxiety management and didn’t have bp issues…thanks, Darrin
8. Bonnie says:
I would explain more about the necessity of water and natural salt .. Check out dr mercola … Processed salt is killing us not natural salt .. I get mine from Amazon pink hymalian it has 84 minerals .. We are not sick .. We are toxic .. Dehydrated.. And deficient .. Why do you think the first thing you get in ER is saline drip .. Do more research folks .. This and juicing with a beer recipe brought me out of liver failure .. And use coconut oil as much as possible .. God bless do your own research too
9. Maureen says:
You say that if you are already on blood pressure meds that the natural remedies will interfere with how they work. Does that mean if you’re already on meds that it’s too late to try any natural remedies?
10. sandra yzaguirre says:
I recently stopped using my lisinopril 20/25 for high blood pressure and I want to start on garlic pills and fish oil. do you think it will have an effect on me.
• Devendra Saini says:
You shouldn’t withdraw medicines. Along with medicines you can take garlic pills or raw garlics. If you eat atleast 10 garlic empty stomach early in the morning, it clears the cholesterol very fast. You can see the result in 6 days.
Get well soon. God bless.

13. Suzanne says:
High blood press has everything to due with gut health. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an amazingly inexpensive and healthful way to diminish and often completely resolve High Blood pressure issues by gently cleansing the entire GI tract of mucosal, parasitic and fecal build up.
Simply stir in 1-2 teaspoons of Food Grade diatomaceous earth into an 8 ounce glass of water or juice and drink every morning and evening. It’s added benefits are bowel motility- (smooth & easy movements), gently cleansing the mucosal walls and naturally killing all parasites residing in the entire GI tract.
AND Ladies….it Greatly diminishes and often STOPS Hot Flashes! Woohoo, and since it’s 90% Silica, it’s great for hair and nails.
Food Grade DE is not a medication, it is a micronized naturally occuring siliceous sedimentary rock (shell flour from the fossilized remains of diatoms- a type of hard shelled algae)
I can say this from direct experience (My pets and I consume DE every day) and from the response I’ve had back from the hundreds of women and men I’ve turned onto Food Grade DE-this stuff rocks! Pardon the pun. Lol
You can buy DE inexpensively online or at your local health food store.
Google and research it and get informed and become healthy and happy. Good luck and be well.
Note: Before consuming, make sure that it’s FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth!
***ALWAYS talk to your DR first before you stop taking any of your prescription medication***
14. traci brown says:
Beet root powder is amazing stuff, I’m suprised it didn’t make this list. My husband has been taking this and combined with diet and exercise is getting to cut his meds in half. Look it up, then take the research to your doctor next visit. You will both be happy you did!
15. Litilraven says:
Be careful of what you tell ppl… Not all BP is the same. I am collecting information for that day when I cannot afford medication, but not sure it will help. You see, my blood, without medication, will slowly thicken like pudding on the stove until it is so thick that blood cannot be drawn from my veins – it is hereditary and has nothing to do with mr “gut health”. Whoever any of you are, KNOW your body.
• Cathy says:
Litlraven…have you been tested for high levels of “iron” in your blood? If not mention it to your doctor and get tested.
• PAULINA says:
Thanks for sharing . Ive never heard of your condition before. Sounds like you have to keep using stuff to thin the blood like lots of pineapples. How has your family controlled this condition over the years.? Very interested.
16. Brenda says:
I’ve been looking for natural ways to lower my blood pressure.. This site is Awesome ! I’m definitely going to enjoy myself trying these out.
17. AlikiG says:
I appreciate the information. I work at a natural foods grocery store and was asked what to do about HBP. I didn’t have an answer and didn’t want to recommend anything that would interfere with meds. I feel like I can suggest coconut water, blueberries and garlic comfortably as natural things to consume… with a dr.s ok of course. Thank you.
18. alex2 says:
table salt is bad in general. however a normal daily amount of sea salt or mine salt or himalaya salt has benefits for heart. go check pubmed for scientific articles and see that the no salt recommendation has changed in recent years.
19. Gilbert Truilen says:
Taking Garlic Capsule, does it have side a effect? I am STILL 22 y.o . Most of my BP is 150/90 and the lowest BP is 130/90. Am afraid taking medication without the advise from my doctor.
20. Michelle says:
I have two questions:
1.) Is it safe to take/use/ingest all of the listed suggestions during the same day, everyday?
Or should I just pick a few things?
2.) Does Cat’s Claw have a side effect of metallic taste?
21. Brenda Brooks says:
I was told by my Dr to keep my blood pressure under 140,The more older you get it’s harder to keep blood pressure under 120,
22. Ida Larson says:
Great choices! Claire, this is a wonderful selection of simple-to-obtain/use-optiions for healthy blood pressure reduction. Thank you.
23. Pat says:

We've been in a cold snap for about a week with daily highs below -20C. The water is not running to one toilet that is near an exterior wall. To ensure it wasn't something in the tank, I detached the flexible hose from the tank that runs to the wall and no water is coming through there. Is likely a frozen pipe? What do I do now?
Update: We turned up the heat in the bathroom and the room below the bathroom and used a heat gun on the exposed part of the pipe extending from the wall. Eventually it just started flowing again. We'll keep an eye out for drips before cutting open the wall.

It could very well be a frozen pipe, it could also be that the valve has become clogged somehow.
The only way to tell for sure if its a frozen pipe is either find the frozen pipe, or wait for it to thaw. If water starts flowing when the temperature warms up then you know it was frozen.
If you have copper pipes, the worst case would be that when it thaws you discover a leak from a burst pipe. With this in mind, it is probably worth opening up the wall to find out for sure - way easier to replace a cleanly cut section of drywall then it is to fix extensive water damage. Once you find the section you need to determine why it froze - is there no insulation in there? Can you remedy that?

I wouldn't prematurely open the walls up, but I'd make darn sure I knew where the shutoff is and kept a close eye out for any water leaking. – BMitch Jan 25 at 17:17
@BMitch - second that. We had a 3/4" line freeze once (and didn't know it); when we ran the dryer (vent pipe touched the frozen pipe, which is why it froze), the pipe thawed and water came pouring out of the ceiling. As luck would have it, I was standing 5' away and the shutoff was nearby. – TomG Jan 26 at 15:23
Well, 4 days and no signs of water so I think we're safe. Now to figure out why it froze... – Kim Jan 29 at 18:22

what happens in syria in your opinion?
Well, I don't want to offend nobody at all. But what I think about this is that Syria has chronic problems that have to do with intolerance and ambition.
What I mean is Syria has three main problems (that seem have no end):
Religious intolerance;
Government ambition;
Religious fundamentalism.
I'm sure that religious fundamentalism have nothing to do with Islam, by the way in most nations, Muslims and people who follow other religions get along with no problems, always respecting each other... However, not everybody thinks like this.
That's simply my opinion. Of course I'm not an expert on this subject and maybe I'm pretty wrong about it. But it's what I think about.
Sorry for my half-baked English.
Your English is pretty good :).
people in different religions or cultural background think in different way. so your opinion is acceptable in this regard.
well, for me, i think what happened in Syria is not only because of the religion. every religion could exist extremelism. So same thing can happen in Syria. however, this never condemn a religion to nothing good. i met many muslims before, most of them are friendly and kind.
Also, the government of Syria is weak. And the military insurance is not guaranteed. what a government trying to do is not how to rule the people, but how to serve the people. from the beginning, Syria has a wrong view of governing. The leader of a country can represent the people.
What's happening in Syria at this very moment has been planned long ago. And at last we're just fooled audience who are lost in interpreting the manufactured incidents that's being motivated impulsively for some goals that the mere understanding of them is beyond our realizing, analyzing, or understanding capabilities. Nevertheless, moving Syria, from a safe and self-sufficient country to an unsafe one where there citizens suffer and struggle from death and malnutrition is obviously one of those aims.
Syria now has reached a standstill point, where neither the rebel forces nor the regime is strong enough to defeat the other party. And whenever one of those sided get stronger, the other side is empowered by some bodies to reach a level of equality between the both side. This process will be kept maintained into definite channels until Syria get totally smashed down.
Syria is a unfamiliar country for me,but the Middle East is a highlight area in my memory.The most people in here is muslim,they have different culture and religion from me.In my opinion,religion is not the reason for a people kill others and it make people have a pure mind.If religion is combined with politics,it do more harm than make a benefit.
I am a chinese with no religion,i am not a marxist also have no other religion ,like buddhism.but there are 56 diffrent nationnalities in my university,most of them have their own religion,such as tibetan people is buddhist,they are goodness people.I still remember that once when i on the way to the classroom ,two tibetan girls talk with a cleaner ,next ,one of them bent over to pick up a earthworm and put it on the lawn.It hit my heart until now.because it had rained last night and it caused this earthworm appear on the road.It maybe a small thing ,but i could feel the strong power from religion.Religion always makes pure and kindness.
Absolutely,the problem in Syria is not because islam.from my point of view, politics is the most evil thing in the world.wherever.
Hello, Ahmad:
When the sad situation started two years ago, many people here in the United States thought that the government side was bad and that the rebel side was good.
Now, however, many Americans feel that the situation is not that simple.
There are some good people on both sides; there are some bad people on both sides.
Thank you
Your opinions good
And assure the problem is not with Islam and Muslims, but dictatorship and repression, there are crimes not seen humanity have occurred in Syria, and people do not want to carry guns and know that it is very dangerous but forced to, there 1,500 people were killed with chemical weapons there are 5 million displaced 200,000 people dead there indiscriminate bombing of civilians and children
There are mistakes of the opposition and the Syrian people against extremism and militants is a coexistence of people with some of the centuries and the biggest proof that the ruling family of Gmo minority for 40 years and in the beginning of the revolution there was no intention to topple Assad was well-liked and accepted by the majority of the people
With that of a minority
I apologize for my English is not good
I am convinced that whatever war occurs in that part of the world , meaning palestine and surrounding countries , has something to do with religion, if not between two religions , then between sects of the same religion since it is a three times holy land.
What happened in Syria started out as a demand of rights. The country is ruled with an iron fist by a group that won't stop at anything to keep in power , and to top it all , this elite belongs to a minority sect called the Alawites.
So the people take to the streets , demanding their right for dignity , and to not be ruled by the law of fear. People get killed. Massacres are committed and a group of syrian soldiers deserts the army and forms a sort of resistance. But it wasn't enough. At this point , the mujahideen step in. They want to help those who are being dealt an injustice , but don't hide the fact that they want to establish a more islamic state , should the regime fall. It is by no chance that these Mujahideen are sunnis. Similarly it is no coincidence that Hizbullah , a group belonging to the shia sect to which the Alawite sect is affiliated , is supporting the regime. And to make the problem biggert , Iran , a shia state , is supporting the regime while the KSA , a sunni state , is supporting the rebels. And since the international community can't keep its mouth shut , The USA is siding against the regime.This means that the USA is interfering with the business of a country not very far from Russia , which can't stay quiet , especially that said country is a client for Russia.
Meanwhile , kids keep getting orphaned , and mothers keep losing their kids. And the syrians keep wasting their weapons killing each other , while their real enemies comfortably watch.
And that's what I think about Syria.
I agree with you thank you
Thank you everyon

A Greater mouse-eared bat in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 17, 2014
Europe's bat population recovered by more than 40 percent between 1993 and 2011 after decades of decline, according to a survey published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) on Thursday.
In their most comprehensive study yet, surveyors fanned out across nine countries to count numbers at 6,000 sites used for hibernation by 16 of Europe's 45 bat species.
The bat population increased by 43 percent overall from 1993 to 2011, "with a relatively stable trend since 2003," the Copenhagen-based agency said.
Two species, the whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus) and Brandt's bat (M. brandtii), showed strong growth, and eight species had moderate gains.
Three species were stable and the picture for two species was unclear. There was a decline in only one species, the grey long-haired bat (Plecotus austriacus).
Bat populations in Europe plummeted in the latter half of the 20th century, their habitat wrecked by intensive agriculture, deliberate destruction of their roosts or use of toxic chemicals to treat timbers in old buildings.
Many of the species with rising populations remain rare and vulnerable, with climate change an emerging threat, the EEA said.
"It is extremely encouraging to see bat populations increasing after massive historic declines," the agency's executive director, Hans Bruyninckx, said.
"It suggests that targeted conservation policies over the last years have been successful. But many bat species are still endangered, so preserving their habitats is still an important priority."
The survey encompassed Austria, Britain, Hungary, Latvia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and the German states of Bavaria and Thuringia.
Feared by some, bats play an essential role in the eco-system, say experts.
Insect-eating bats devour huge quantities of mosquitoes and crop-damaging pests; nectar-feeding bats are vital pollinators in tropical forests and deserts; and fruit-eating bats help disperse seeds through their faeces.

Keto Fast Foods From McDonald’s
There are times when you just have no choice but to get fast food (although my teenagers would eat fast food for every meal if I let them).
Now that McDonald’s serves all day breakfast, it makes it so much easier to eat a Keto meal on the road. If I have to eat fast food, I will order a sausage egg cheese McMuffin without the muffin. My husband also loves these. He eats beef so his options are vaster, but since I don’t these are perfect for me.
As long as you order things without the bun and sugary sauces, you can eat several things and stay Keto. When eating fast food, stay away from anything breaded. Also, keep in mind that most sauces, other than mustard and mayo, are usually loaded with sugar. Keto on a road trip or just on busy nights isn’t so hard after all.

A green route to water soluble carbon nanotubes and in situ loading of silver nanoparticles.
A green approach has been developed to synthesize water soluble multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Ag nanoparticles have been loaded on the as-synthesized MWNTs via the in situ solution method. The strategy is based on the introduction of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups through a mild modification of MWNTs via polycondensation of citric acid and D-sorbitol, improving the water solubility of MWNTs, giving rise to preferred sites of Ag nucleation, and providing mild in situ reducing agents. The modification of MWNTs and loading of Ag nanoparticles on MWNTs were demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '16655a8e58905fe2c8f274a5a0845b6a21de8ac34058cc394d9a7563ddb0d872'} |

\begin{theorem}
:$\ds \int \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} \rd x = x \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} - 2 x + 2 a \arctan \frac x a + C$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
:$\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$
let:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = u
| r = \map \ln {x^2 + a^2}
| c =
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \frac {\d u} {\d x}
| r = \frac {2 x} {x^2 + a^2}
| c = Derivative of $\ln x$, Derivative of Power, Chain Rule for Derivatives
}}
{{end-eqn}}
and let:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = \frac {\d v} {\d x}
| r = 1
| c =
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = v
| r = x
| c = Primitive of Power
}}
{{end-eqn}}
Then:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = \int \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} \rd x
| r = x \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} - \int \frac {2 x^2 \rd x} {x^2 + a^2} + C
| c = Integration by Parts
}}
{{eqn | r = x \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} - 2 \int \frac {x^2 \rd x} {x^2 + a^2} + C
| c = Primitive of Constant Multiple of Function
}}
{{eqn | r = x \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} - 2 \paren {x - a \arctan {\frac x a} } + C
| c = Primitive of $\dfrac {x^2} {x^2 + a^2}$
}}
{{eqn | r = x \map \ln {x^2 + a^2} - 2 x + 2 a \arctan \frac x a + C
| c = simplifying
}}
{{end-eqn}}

Il est dans l'histoire (1) un trait émouvant et sublime, dont on a feit souvent usage pour montrer ce que peut sur un cœur fidèle la doctrine de la croii , et qui nous semble bien propre à vous faire mieux comprendre l'éloquent lan gage de la sainte Cène > lorsqu'elle nous représente comme l'aliment d'une âme chrétienne , comme son pain et son vin, la pensée habituelle de JÉSUS mourant à notre place dans les angoisses de la mort seconde. On rapporte qu'un roi, le père de son peuple., bien convaincu que le désordre des mœurs y produisait des maux plus funestes encore que la rapine et que le meurtre , fit publier une loi qui condamnait les adultères, comme (1) Voy. Valer. Maxim» ,1,6, titre De Jtistitiâ. 144 LA PAQCJE CHRÉTIENNE. indignes de voir la lumière du jour , à perdre les deux yeux par la main de la justice. — Mais quelles ne durent pas être les violentes émotions de sa douleur, et les convul sions de son cœur paternel , lorsqu'on vint lui dire qu'un malheureux avait été surpris dans son crime, et que ce malheureux, c'était son propre fils ! — Que va-t-il deve nir ? — Faudra-t-il donc qu'on exécute la terrible sentence sur son fils unique , sur son bien-aimé, l'espoir de ses jours, l'héritier de sa couronne? — A chaque retour de cette pensée , son âme tout entière se déchire, et tout son être bouleversé semble prêt à s'anéantir dans la douleur. — Cependant , l'épargnera-t-il ? N'est-il pas le père de ses sujets? Violera-t-il, en faveur d'un coupable, l'inviolable sainteté des lois et les intérêts de tout un peuple? — Non! s'écrie-t-il , plutôt mille fois déposer mon sceptre et descendre de mon trône 1 non! il faut cesser d'être roi avant de cesser d'être juste 1 — Il ordonne donc que tout plie devant l'inflexible sévérité des lois , et qu'on ap prête le supplice qu'elles ordonnent. — Le jour fatal ar rive; le roi, devant tout son peuple, monte sur son trône ; son fils bien-aimé s'avance ; les bourreaux s'en em parent à ses ordres; l'exécution commence, le sang royal coule, et le peuple consterné frissonne dans le silence de l'épouvante. — Arrêtez 1 s'écrie alors le monarque et le père; l'un de ses yeux, arraché, s'est éteint pour tou jours!... je suis son père : qu'on m'arrache l'autre!... que la loi soit satisfaite, que la justice éternelle ait son cours ! moi et mon fils nous ne sommes qu'un ! Qui pourrait dire l'attendrissement, la sainte terreur et les émotions sublimes qui s'emparèrent alors de tout un peuple , à la vue de ce vénérable vieillard descendant de son trône comme un coupable, et se livrant aux mains des Là PÀQUB CHRÉTIENNE. 143 bourreaux! — Oh! qu'à la lueur de ce jour émouvant et terrible, la loi dut paraître sainte et redoutable 1 Oh! qu'en même temps l'amour paternel dut faire couler de larmes! — Mais, quand il serait possible de décrire les émotions du peuple qui contemplait de loin ce spectacle sublime , qui pourrait dire ce qui se passa dans l'Ame du coupable! — Ne vous semble-t-il pas qu'il devait mourir de douleur, de reconnaissance, de repentir, de honte? — L'amour de son père n'attendrira-t-il pas tout son cœur? et la sainteté de son père ne pénètrera-t-elle pas alors de toutes parts ce cœur attendri? — Et toutes les fois que des pensées du mal reviendront parler à son âme, ne suffira t-il pas qu'il reporte quelque regard sur le visage vénéra ble et mutilé de son père , pour les étouffer aussitôt dans leur germe, et pour lui donner mille fois plus l'horreur de son crime que ne l'eussent pu faire jamais les supplices les plus cruels ? O mon âme! voilà ton image. — 0 mon Ame! regarde à JÉSUS; car ce n'est pas autrement que tu as été sauvée ! — Oui, voilà ce qu'a pu faire pour te sauver le Roi des rois, ton Créateur et ton JugeI O mon Ame! regarde à JÉSUS, expirant à ta place sur une croix ; et tu verras un spectacle dont celui-ci n'offre encore qu'une image incom plète et sans vie. — Oui, mes frères , le soi , c'est I'Eter wel votre Dieu, et le coupable, c'est vous! — Ce que vous avez mérité, c'est la mort éternelle. — Celui qui vous a sauvés, c'est le Seigneur des seigneurs, « qui ne » tient pas le coupable pour innocent (Nom. , XIV, 18), » et qui cesserait d'être Dieu avant de cesser d'être juste. on a vu le Seigneur descendre comme un coupable du trône de la gloire , s'anéantir jusqu'à prendre la forme d'une créature, et venir souffrir à la place des pécheurs les angoisses de la mort éternelle I — Le Père « a tant aimé )> le monde qu'il a donné son Fils unique au monde (Jean, » III f 16), » et que, lorsque son Fils a paru devant lui chargé de nos péchés, « il ne l'a pas épargné; » il ne s'est pas épargné soi-même: il a « fait venir sur lui l'iniquité de » nous tous (Es., LU , 6), » et c'est ainsi qu'il s'est montré sur la croix à toutes ses créatures , comme le Dieu juste et cependant Sauveur, Sauveur et cependant juste ; c'est ainsi que « la justice et la miséricorde s'y sont rencontrées, » et que « la paix et la vérité s'y sont entrebaisées, » pour parler avec la sainte Ecriture (Ps. LXXXV , 18). Ahl qui contemple ainsi dans son Sauveur sur la croix toutes les perfections divines , qui contemple ainsi JÉSUS , pleure de repentir comme Pierre dans la cour du prétoire; il pleure d'amour, il pleure d'admiration, de reconnais sance ; qui le contemple se détache du monde et de ses convoitises; qui le contemple doit changer, et qui ne change pas ne l'a point vu et ne l'a point connu. Qui le contemple ainsi trouve dans cette pensée habituelle l'ali ment de son âme , son pain et son vin. Telle est , mes frères , la grande vérité que le Seigneur a voulu rappeler à son peuple dès les premiers jours du monde, par les divers sacrements qu'il* successivement institués : d'abord , par les sacrifices sanglants , plus parti culièrement ensuite par la Pftque des Hébreux y et enfin par celle des chrétiens; et telle est aussi la pensée que nous avons désiré vous rendre présente dès. l'abord de ce discours ,. afin que vous entrassiez mieux avec nous dans la méditation qui doit nous occuper. — Pour y procéder, LA PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE. 147 nous expliquerons d'abord ce que c'était que la PAque des Hébreux; et, poursuivant ensuite une courte paraphrase des versets de notre texte., nous tâcherons de vous faire bien comprendre les rapports de là PAque annuelle des Hébreux avec la PAque journalière de l'Ame chrétienne , et ce que c'est maintenant pour nous que de préparer la PAque. O mes frères bien-aimés , je rends grâces à mon Dieu de ce qu'en attendant que ma faible voix se soit éteinte dans le tombeau , et de ce qu'à l'approche dès solennités qui vont terminer cette année, il daigne m'appeler, par le texte de ce jour , à tous montrer encore aujourd'hui que l'aliment de votre Ame, que toute votre sûfetéj toutes vos consolations, toutes vos forces, toute votre vie y est en la pensée habituelle de Celui qui s'est livré, pour Vous sau ver, à la mort de la croix, et qui maintenant est vivant pour accomplir ses promesses, pour vous conduire dans la vie et pour vous sauver dans la mort — O mes frères ! je ne veux savoir avec tous que JÉSUS-CHRIST , et JÉSUS CHRIST crucifié. — Je voudrais ne savoir plus autre chose pour moi-même. — Il n'y a que cela de réel et d'éternel. Tout ce qui ne s'y rattache pas n'e$t, au bout de quarante ou cinquante années; que comme un songe dont on s'est réveillé ; tout ce qui ne s'y rattache pas va passer bientôt comme une nuée que le vent emporte. « Celui qui » a le Fils a la vie ; mais celui qui n'a pas le Fils de Dieu » n'a pas la vie, et la colère de Dieu reste sur lui. (1 » Jean , Y, 12). » — O Seigneur ! pour l'amour de ton nom , donne efficace à ta Parole 1 Ainsi soit-11. Il est , depuis l'origine des siècles , sur la scène mobile du monde et chez tous les peuples de la terre, un spectacle constant, quoique extraordinaire, qui nous tient un lan 148 LA PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE. gage si clair et si puissant, que je ne sais en vérité quelle réponse y pourrait faire un observateur étranger à l'Evan gile , pour peu qu'il voulût bien s'arrêter à le contempler. — Je veux parler des sacrifices sanglants. Bien n'est plus varié que les rites religieux imaginés par les enfants des hommes pour apaiser leur conscience , depuis qu'ils ont perdu la connaissance des révélations qui furent successivement accordées aux premières familles de la terre ; rien n'est plus varié même que les objets de leur culte. — Les cieui , la terre, l'enfer , les anges, les hom mes, les animaux, les plantes, les bois et la pierre, tout en un mot est devenu dieu pour eux , excepté Dieu. — Les jeux, les combats, les danses , le larcin même, que dis-je? l'ivresse, la prostitution, les plus abominables im puretés sont devenus chez eux un culte , pour lequel ils ont eu leurs dieux, leurs prêtres et leurs temples. Cependant, au milieu de tous ces rites si variés et si nombreux, il en est un seul que je retrouve partout — Chez tous les peuples, soit anciens, soit modernes, sous tous les climats, sous tous les gouvernements, dans les lies mêmes les plus lointaines, dans tous les siècles, je vois les hommes (comme s'ils s'étaient entendus en quel que sorte sur ce seul point) immoler des victimes et faire couler du sang sur des autels. — Je les vois toujours s'ac corder sur ce dogme : Il faut expier nos crimes; nous sommes coupables, il faut une rédemption par le sang. — Je vois cette idée extraordinaire braver le temps et l'es pace ; elle fait le tour du globe , elle traverse tous les siècles. — Je vois même les hommes, dès qu'ils ont oublié qu'il y avait dans ces sacrifices divinement institués une représentation d'une victime plus excellente, je les vois, au lieu de rejeter un rite que leurs pères leur ont LA PAQUB CHRÉTIENNE. 149 transmis d'âge en âge, recourir, pour en relever le prix, aux plus horribles cruautés (1) : j'entends , devant les ido les de leurs dieux, de sinistres tambours étouffer les cris douloureux du faible enfant qu'une mère, pour apaiser sa conscience, fait mourir en d'horribles tourments, et je vois, sur les autels, des hommes égorger des hommes 1 — Si je veux suivre aujourd'hui nos plus hardis navigateurs dans leurs découvertes lointaines, je retrouve encore partout avec eux les mêmes pratiques. — Si je veux ensuite feuilleter l'histoire des peuples anciens, et chercher l'origine de ce rite extraordinaire, je revois encore en tous lieux le même spectacle; je vois les Mexicains comme les Scythes., je vois les Gaulois , les Carthaginois , les Athéniens même , en leurs plus beaux jours , recourir dans leur détresse à des sacrifices humains ; je vois les Romains et les Grecs ne rien entreprendre d'important sans faire couler du sang sur les autels (2). — Enfin si, pour remonter plus haut (1) « Nous ne pou ton s , disait Magiscalzin à Fernand Cortez , » nous ne ponton* nous former l'idée d'un véritable sacrifice , à moins » qu'un homme ne meure pour le salut des autres. » (Voyez A.

Que dis-je? je remonte aar delà du déluge; je vais jusqu'à la porte du paradis <fEden * et je vois la première famille des hommes, dès qu'elle * reçu la promesse d'un Sauveur , immoler sur des autels les premiers-nés de ses troupeaux. A cet étonnant spectacle, je demande ; D'où peut donc provenir un usage à la fois si universel , si constant, et ce pendant si directement contraire (tant qu'oq en mécon naît le but et la première institution) à ce que 1* raison la* mpinq exercée devrait faire comprendre au plus simple des hommes ! La mort d'un animal privé de raison pourra-t-eHe ré parer les désordres de ma vie ? Une victime involontaire pourra-t-elle expier des péchés que j'ai volontairement commis? Une créature de Dieu, fût-elle victime volon taire, fût-selle un ange, fût-elle un archange, une créature de Dieu pourra-t-elle faire plus que de le sertir de tout son cœur ? pourra-t-elle donc être autre chose qu'un içrvileur inutile, qui n'accomplit; après tout, que ce qu'il lui fut ordonné de faire pour n'être pas rebelle ; et pourra-t elle jamais , par son obéissance , satisfaire à la justice éter nelle, à ty majesté outragée de ce Dieu créateur, qui, par un seql acte de sa volonté , pourrait appeler à l'exis tence des miUiopa de créatures plus parfaites et plus nobles encore? Non , mes frères, il n'y a que la sainte Ecriture qui nous explique ce grand phénomène , en nous y montrant pomme les traces confuses, mais ineffaçables, d'une pre LA PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE. 131 mière révélation qu'on avait oubliée, et comme les traits défigurés d'un rite institué de Dieu dès les premiers jours du monde. — Remontons donc à cette institution même, afin de comprendre mieux quel est le langage, quel est le devoir, quel est le fruit de cette P&que des chrétiens dont notre texte nous appelle à nous occuper aujourd'hui. Comme « il n'y a point d'autre nom sous le ciel, pour » être sauvé, que celui de JÉSUS (Actes, IV, 12), » dès que notre premier père eut été chassé du délicieux séjour cTÉden, notre Dieu, dans son infinie miséricorde, daigna lui faire annoncer l'Évangile , c'est-à-dire la bonne nou velle d'un Sauveur dont le sang expierait son crime; et, pour lui donner un sacrement et comme un sceau de cette promesse, il lui prescrivit en même temps de lui présenter des agneaux en sacrifice. C'est ainsi qu'il voulait rappeler aux premiers hommes cette grande Victime , qui leur était promise, et que le Saint-Esprit appelle peut-être pour cette raison « l'Agneau immolé dès la fondation du » monde (Apoc., XIII., 8); » c'est ainsi qu'il leur rappelait ce grand sacrifice « dont l'autel, il est vrai, devait être à Jérusalem; mais dont le sang devait baigner l'univers , » pour parler avec Origène (Hom., I, in Lev., n. 3). Ce fat par la foi , dit saint Paul , « qu'Abel offrit à » Dieu un sacrifice plus excellent que Caïn; » ce fut « par elle, qu'il fut déclaré juste , et par elle, quoique » mort, il parle encore (Héb., XI, 4). » Depuis Abel, partout où la vie des premiers hommes nous est récitée avec quelques détails, nous les voyons se transmettre, avec l'attente d'un Sauveur, le rite des sacrifices. — Nous ▼oyons Noé, « prédicateur de la justice qui s'obtient par la » foi, » comme l'appelle l'Ecriture (2 Pierre, II, 5, et Héb., XI, 7), le transmettre à ses fils, et ses fils à leurs. 152 LÀ PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE. descendants. — Nous voyons Abraham l'enseigner à ses fils et aux fils de. ses fils ; et pour que nous comprenions bien qn'en immolant leurs victimes, ces saints patriarches voyaientpar la foi dans les siècles futurs ce que nous-mêmes nous voyons par la foi dans les siècles passés , nous enten dons le Seigneur JÉSUS dire de ce patriarche : « Abraham » a désiré de voir cette mienne journée ; et il l'a vue, et » il en a tressailli de joie (Jean, VIII , 56). » — Nous voyons ensuite que, lorsque Dieu se fut fait d'Israël un peuple particulier, il eut soin de régler les sacrifices qui durent s'accomplir chaque année , chaque semaine et cha que jour dans ses parvis. — Nous voyons en même temps que Dieu , pour que son peuple n'oubliât jamais le but de ces saints sacrements , eut soin , toutes les fois qu'on s'ar rêtait à la cérémonie , de déclarer qu'elle n'avait rien en elle-même qui pût satisfaire pour les péchés, ni mériter sa faveur (Ps. XL, 6; L, 8, 9; LI, 16. Esaïe, I, 11; LXVI, 3. Jérém., VI, 20; VII, 21, 22. Amos. , V, 22). Et nous voyons enfin que , dans le même but, il ne cessa de leur envoyer des prophètes pour leur rappeler constam ment ce « Fils de la femme, » ce « Sciloh, » ce « Père » d'éternité, »ce « Prince de la paix, » qui devait « porter » nos douleurs , pe charger de nos langueurs , faire venir » sur soi l'iniquité de nous tous, et mettre son Ame en » oblation pour nos péchés. » Car ce salut gui nous rem plit de joie, dit l'apôtre saint Pierre (1" Epitre, I, 10, 11), a été l'objet des « recherches et des méditations des » prophètes , lesquels ont tâché de pénétrer ce que l'Es » put de Christ, qui était en eux , prédisait, touchant » le temps et les conjonctures des souffrances de Christ, » et touchant la gloire dont elles seraient suivies. » Cependant, notre Dieu ne s'en tint pas même là. — LA PAQGB MS JUËBUUX. 153 Pour rattacher l'espérance d'an Sauveur aux souvenirs les plus chera et les plus solennels de son peuple; pour lui préfigurer , quinze cents années à l'avance , toutes les cir constances de l'avènement du Afessie, il résolut de l'arra cher d'une telle manière k l'esclavage de l'Egypte, que cette délivrance pût être, et dans son ensemble et dans ses moindres détails, comme une figure prophétique et comme une représentation vivante de la rédemption de nos Ames par JÉSUS-CBBIST dotbe Seigneur. — Ce fut la Pftque des Hébreux. Quel spectacle > que cette première Pftquel — Les cris du peuple d'Israël étaient parvenus jusqu'à l'Etemel ; — Moïse a qui préférait, nous dit saint Paul , l'opprobre » m Christ à toutes les richesses de l'Egypte (Héb., XI , » 26), » Moïse avait sommé vainement Pharaon de laisser Israël en liberté. — Le quatorzième jour de la lune de mars, le jour de la délivrance était arrivé; les Israélites avaient reçu l'ordre de se tenir renfermés dans leurs mai sons, prêts à partir au premier signal de l'Eternel. — Qu'on se figure cette nuit terrible et solennelle : à l'heure de minuit y pendant qu'à la douce et; silencieuse lueur de la pleine lune , tout reposait dans le spmmeil , l'ange exter minateur parait soudainement dans les deux, et toute l'Egypte, frappée d'un même coup, se réveille eu milieu « d'un si grand cri, qu'il n'y en eut jamais, dit l'Ecri » tare, et qu'il n'y en aura jamais de semblable; car il n'y » avait pas une seule maison où il n'y eût un mort (Exode, » XI, 6); » et pendant que Pharaon, se levant au milieu de la nuit, pleurait son premier-né dans son palais, le pauvre sanglotait dans sa cabane , et le prisonnier dans son cachot 154 LA PAQUB GHHÈTIBNNB. Cependant, tandis qu'il n'y avait dans tonte l'Egypte qu'un deuil immense et qu'une solennelle épouvante , les Israélites , rassemblés en famille dans leurs tranquilles de meures, seuls épargnés en cette nuit terrible, mangeaient en paix le souper de la Pâque , et attendaient avec une sainte émotion les ordres de l'Eternel. — Quelle avait donc été leur puissante sauvegarde contre les coups de Fange eiterminateur? — Un agneau!... le sang d'un agneau ! — « Tous prendrez un agneau, » que vous appel lerez la paqub (c'est-à-dire le passage), avait dit l'Eternel (Exode, XII); « vous regorgerez; et, trempant ensuite » dans son sang un bouquet dliysope, vous en arroserez » les deux poteaux et le surseuil de vos portes ; car, lors )> que je frapperai l'Egypte, j'apercevrai ce sang, jb pas » sebai pàb-dessus tous, et je ne donnerai pas à l'ange » exterminateur le pouvoir de vous détruire. » Le fier Pharaon laisse donc enfin les enfants d'Israël en liberté. Ils se lèvent tous ensemble; ils partent; ils sor tent de l'Egypte chargés de dépouilles; la mer découvre son lit pour leur faire un passage; ils la traversent entre ses ondes suspendues ; ils arrivent libres sur la rive oppo sée; Pharaon qui les poursuit est englouti dans les flots; ils entrent au désert; la manne des deux les y nourrit, l'eau du rocher les y abreuve , une colonne de lumière les y conduit, jusqu'à ce qu'enfin, devenus, après une épreuve suffisante , comme un peuple nouveau, ils traver sent le Jourdain pour entrer dans la terre promise , sym bole de cette « patrie meilleure et céleste » après laquelle, dit saint Paul , avaient soupiré leurs pères (Héb., XI). Cest ainsi, mes frères, que cette merveilleuse déli vrance avait été tellement ménagée de Dibu, que tout, jusqu'à ses moindres circonstances, y représentait quel LA PAQUE DBS HÉBREUX. 100 qu'on des traits de notre rédemption par JÉSUS-CHRIST, en sorte qu'en célébrant dans la P&que le souvenir de ce grand événement, on célébrait par là-même uir sacrement m la délivrance étbrnelle, promise aux enfiints de Dieu dès les premiers jours du monde. — C'est ce que je dois vous expliquer encore. — Je n'indiquerai que les principaux traits, en ayant soin même de n'en citer aucun qui ne nous ait été signalé par les auteurs sacrés du Nou veau Testament. 1° Et d'abord , Israël, par l'immolation de l'agneau pas cal , fut mis k l'abri des jugements que Dieu déployait sur toute l'Egypte ; il fut racheté de la mort et de l'escla vage, pour être un peuple consacré tout particulièrement au service de son Dieu. — fit c'est ainsi (pour parler avec saint Paul ) que Christ , notre Paque , « a été immolé » pour nous (1 Cor., V, 7), afin de nous racheter » de tous nos péchés, de nous faire passer de l'esclavage » de Satan à Dieu, de nous retirer du présent siècle » mauvais , et de se faire un peuple qui lui appartint » en propre , et qui fit zélé pour les bonnes œuvres » (Actes, XXVI, 18. Galat. , I, 4. Tite, II, 14, » 15). » 2° La victime de la PAque devait être un agneau , le plus innocent et le plus paisible des animaui , qui souffre sans se plaindre , et qui se « laisse égorger sans résis-» » taace. » — Et c'est ainsi que devait être représenté Celui que Jean-Baptiste appelle « le véritable Agneau de Dieu » qui ôte les péchés du monde (Jean , I, 29) ; ce Maître » doux et humble de cœur (Matt, XI, 29); qui a été » mené à la tuerie comme un agneau muet ; qui, lors » qu'on le chargeait d'injures, n'en rendait point (1 » Pierre, II, 23) ; » qui s'estlaissé lier, battre de verges, 156 LA PAQUB CHRÉTIENNE. outrager, mettre à mort, et qui « n'a point ouvert la boa » che (Esaïe, LUI, 7). » 3° L'agneau de la Pàque devait être choisi sans défaut et sans tache, pour désigner la parfaite justice de « Celui » qui n'a point connu de péché (i Cor., Y, 2). » En effet, dit saint Pierre (1 Pierre, I, 18, 19), « nous n'avons pas » été rachetés, par des choses périssables comme l'or et l'ar » gent, mais par le précieux sang de Christ, comme de » l'agneau sans défaut et sans tache. » 4° L'agneau devait être immolé le quatorzième jour db la lune de mars, entre trois heures et six heures du soir , et ce fut aussi le quatorzième jour de la lune de mars, entre trois et six heures du soir, qu' « ayant jeté un grand » cri, JÉSUS rendit l'esprit (Matt., XXVII, 50), » sur la croix. 5° Aucun de ses os « ne devait être rompu (Exode, XII, » 46) , » et nous aurions sans doute ignoré toujours le sens de cette faible circonstance, si l'Esprit saint n'eût pris soin de nous l'expliquer aussi , lorsqu'il nous dit, par la bouche de saint Jean (Jean , XIX, 36), que ce fut afin « que cette » parole de l'Ecriture fût accomplie , » que les soldats qui percèrent JÉSUS « ne lui rompirent point les jambes. » 6° Enfin , l'agneau devait être mangé par les fidèles. — 0 mon âme, écoute bien cet ordre de ton DibuI — « Christ, notre Pàque, immolé pour nous, » comme l'appelle saint Paul (1 Cor., Y, 7), Christ crucifié, voilà ton aliment , voilà ton pain de vie l — O vous tous donc , qui vous sentez « pressés de la faim et de la soif de la jus » tice (Matt., V , 6) , » écoutez bien ces paroles de JÉSUS (Jean , IV , 32 , 58) : « Je suis le pain de vie descendu du » ciel ; le pain que je donnerai c'est ma chair , laquelle » je donnerai pour la vie du monde. En vérité , en vé EXPOSITION DU TEXTE. 1OT » rite, je tous dis, celui qui mange ma chair et qui boit » mon sang a la vie éternelle. » Telle était la Pàque des Juift, mes frères. Telle est la suite majestueuse et l'harmonie toute divine de nos révé lations. C'est ainsi que Celui quf « appelle les choses qui » ne sont point comme si elles étaient (Rotri., IV , 17) , » et devant qui « mille ans sont comme un jour (2 Pierre , » III, 8), » traçait déjà, dans l'histoire de son peuple, il y a plus de trois mille années, comme de vastes crayons du plan qu'il avait conçu pour notre rédemption par JÉ SUS-CHRIST. — Cest ainsi que la Pàque des Juifs, insti tuée plus de trois cents ans avant que les Grecs , encore barbares , fissent le siège de Troie , se célébrait d'àgie en Age depuis plus de mille cinq cents années , lorsque le Seigneur JÉSUS, comme le rapporte notre texte eh ce jour , donna l'ordre à ses disciples d'aller lui préparer la Pàque. Le jour au soir duquel devait commencer la Pôqiie ve nait de se lever; une immense multitude se pressait dans iZ8 LA PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE» Jérusalem ; les taaisons de cette vaste cité ne pouvaient suf fire à la foule des Hébreux, qui , de toutes les nations qui sont sons le ciel , accouraient chaque année pour y célé brer la fête. Déjà l'on préparait à l'avance les pains sans levain et les herbes amères ; déjà l'on se disposait à sacri fier la Pàque : c'était le jeudi matin , le treizième jour de la lune de mars , selon les uns , ou le quatorzième , selon les autres (car nous n'avons pas le temps d'entrer dans cette controverse); c'était la veille du jour où , comme le dit le Seigneur à la suite de mon texte, la véritable Paquk allait s'acgom plie ; c'était la veille du jour le plus solen nel qui fut jamais. Alors JÉSUS > sachant que l'heure était venue où tontes les misères des pécheurs allaient se rassembler sur sa tète , se dispose à quitter Béthanie pour se livrer entre les mains des méchants, liais avant de « mettre son Ame en oblation » pour le péché, » il veut adresser, pour ainsi dire, nn adieu solennel à ses disciples de tous les siècles, et leur laisser dans l'institution de la sainte cène, comme nn gage de son amour , et comme un monument de ce qu'il a souffert pour les sauver. — C'est dans ce but qu'il donne l'ordre à Jean et à Simon-Pierre, de le précéder à Jérusa lem y et d'aller lui préparer la PAque. — « Mais où voufes » vous, Seigneur, lui dirent-ils, que nous allions pour » cela? — Quand vous serez entrés dans la ville, leur ré » pond JÉSUS , vous rencontrerez un homme portant une » cruche iïeau: suivez-le; car c'est chez le maître de la » maison où vous le verrez entrer que j'ai résolu de celé* » brer cette dernière PAque ; il est de mes disciples ; vous » l'aborderez à ce titre , et vous lui direz : Lb Maître te » fait dire que son temps est proche, et que c'est chez toi » qu'il fera cette PAque. Où donc est le logis oà tu le re EXPOSITION DU TEXTE. 1*0 » eevras aeee ses disciples ? — Alors U vem montrera une » chambre grande, élevée, meublée et toute prête : préparer » y ta Pâque. » Cest ainsi que notre Seigicbub voulut diriger miracu leusement ses deux apôtres chez cet heureux disciple , sans leur faire connaître encore, ni sa demeure, ni même son nom. Les deux apôtres ne savaient donc point encore de quel côté, dans quelle demeure,, ni chez quel disciple ils allaient porter les invitations du Seigneur ; mais ils savaient qu'ils allaient sous sa conduite, et marchant dans cette douce assurance , ils partirent de Béthanie , sans hésiter un ins tant, et sans se permettre aucune inquiétude sur le succès de leur message. — Et c'est encore avec la même assu rance, mes frères , que vos ministres doivent vous apporter le même message dont le même Seigneur les a chargés au près de vous. Ils ne savent point encore qui seront ceux qui recevront « dans un cœur honnête et bon la Parole » du royaume (Luc , VIII.» 15) ; *> mais ce qu'ils savent, d'une manière certaine, c'est que le Maître est avec eux, c'est « qu'il connaît ceux qui sont siens (2 Tim., H, 19), » c'est qu'ils sont envoyés auprès de ceux à qui le Seigneur veut qu'ils soient envoyés. Pierre et Jean se rendirent à la vHle; ils rencontrè rent l'esclave que leur Maître leur avait désigné ; ils le sui virent ; ils entrèrent avec lui dans la même maison, et , s'adressant à l'heureux Israélite auquel ils venaient d'être ainsi conduits, ils lui dirent : « Le Maître te fait savoir que son temps est proche (ces dernières paroles, mes frères , sont dans saint Matthieu), et qu'il veut, avant qu'arrive cette heure pour laquelle il est venu dans U monde, célébrer la Pâque dans la demeure avec ses disciples. Quelle nouvelle pour une âme chrétienne ! — Qu'on se figure l'émotion profonde et la sainte joie de ce disciple fidèle , qui , tandis qu'il recueillait ses pensées pour se préparer dignement à la fête de P&que, apprend tout-à coup que le Fils de Dieu, que le Sauveur du monde, que Celui qui ressuscite les morts , va se rendre dans son hum ble demeure pour l'y célébrer lui-même, qu'il l'a choisie , LA PAQUfi CHRÉTIENNE. 161 et qu'il y a dirigé miraculeusement les pas de ses apfttres! — Oh ! le beau jour ! — jour de grâce , jour de consola tion, jour d'espérances éternelles ! Entrez, entrez dans ma maison^ ministres du Seigneur! venez et préparons la Pàque. Oui, sans doute, il fut bien heureux , ce fidèle Israélite; oui; sans doute, il fut bien heureux! Mais, ne l'oubliez jamais , mes chers frères , ce JÉSUS que nous vous prê chons est toujours le MÊME, « hier, aujourd'hui , et aux » siècles des siècles ( pour parler avec saint Paul ) (1), » toujours vivant, toujours puissant pour bénir et pour sauver; et maintenant encore , mes frères, il adresse réellement à vos âmes la même invitation qui vint faire tressaillir le cœur de cet heureux disciple. — Vous aussi , eh ré tiens, vous aussi, vous avez une Pàque à célébrer; — vous aussi, vous êtes invités à recevoir votre Sauveur, ▲ LUI PRÉPARER LA PàQUE ! Mais qu'Esr-CE donc qob la Pàque des chrétiens? et qu'est-ce maintenant pour nous que de préparer la Paque? La Pftque des chrétiens a le même but , le même objet , le même langage que celle des Hébreux. L'une et l'autre eut dû rappeler le Sauveur promis à la terre dès les pre miers jours du monde. — La première, néus l'avons dit, montrait aux croyants, dans les siècles futurs, ce que l'au tre montre aux croyants dans les siècles passés. La pre mière annonçait la mort du Messie jusqu'à ee qu'il vint; et la seconde <c rappelle sa mort jusqu'à ce qu'il revienne , » comme le déclare l'apôtre saint Paul (1 Cor., XI, 21). — (1) Hébr., XIII, 8. 11 163 LA PAQUB CHBÉTIBNNR v La nuit que le Seigneur fut livré, il substitua la seconde à la première. — Désormais , dit-il eu d'autres termes à ses apôtres , ce ne sera plus cet agneau que nous mangeons , ce ne sera plus ce sang dont nous venons.de faire asper sion , qui représenteront mon corps et mon sang : dès au jourd'hui y « ce pain que nous rompons , c'est mon corps » rompu pour vous; » cette « coupe de bénédiction que » nous bénissons, c'est la communion de mon sang, du » sang de la nodvelle alliance que je vois répandre » pour la rémission des péchés; » et c'est ainsi que « tou » tes les fois que vous mangerez de ce pain , et que vous » boirez de cette coupe , vous annoncerez ma mort jus » qu'à ce que je revienne. Vous ferez ceci en mémoire de » moi (1 Cor., XI, 23 , 26. Matth., XXVI , 26-28). » Telle est laPàque des chrétiens. Elle nous rappelle donc le même sacrifice , le même salut , le même Sauveur que celle des Hébreux ; — mais il est, entre ces deux sa crements, une différence très-essentielle : — c'est que si, pour des motifs qu'il est facile de concevoir , la Gène des Hébreux dut être annuelle , celle des chrétiens est de tous les jours , et qu'elle doit être souvent renouvelée (1). Les apôtres et les premiers chrétiens prenaient la Gène toutes les fois qu'ils se réunissaient pour quelque office re ligieux , et c'était même le but principal de leurs saintes assemblées. — Les yeux de leur âme uniquement fixés, en ces saints exercices, sur JÉSUS « crucifié pour eux, et » navré pour leurs forfaits , » ils apprenaient dans cette contemplation à « tout souffrir avec patience, » à se (1) C'est ce que préfigurait sans doute , chez les Hébreux , ce qu'on appelait l'holocacstb continuel , ou ce sacrifice de deui agneaux, qui devait être fait à perpétuité chaque jour dans le tabernacle ou dans le temple LA PAQUB CHRÉTIENNE. 163 « réjouir dans l'espérance (Rom., XII, 12), » à n'être a entre eux qu'un coeur et qu'une âme (Actes, IV, 51); » et chaque jour , « assidus dans le temple en un même » esprit , et rompant le pain de maison en maison , ils » prenaient leur nourriture avec joie et simplicité de cœur » (Actes, II , 46) (1); » — et si notre Eglise, dans les jours qui suivirent de près la sainte réformation , crut devoir d'abord rendre plus rares les occasions où elle invitait les (1) Et qu'on n'imagine pas que la fréquence de ce saint exercice en di minuât pour eux l'efficace ou la solennité. — Non , sans doute ! — L'émo tion qui n'est due qu'à la rareté d'une cérémonie est un mouvement des nerfs et non pas de l'Ame; c'est une émotion qui commence tout au plus à la porte du temple , et qui ne saurait jamais en repasser le seuil. U est bien vrai , sans doute , que plus on approche des grandeurs de la terre >x plus aussi l'on revient des folles illusions qui fascinaient nos yeui a leur premier aspect, plus on reconnaît que toute leur pompe ne relève que de la cendre , et que toute leur majesté n'est qu'une grandeur de théâtre. Il en est à peu près ainsi chez nos frères de la confession d'Augsbourg. 164 LA PAQUE CHRÉTIENNE fidèles à célébrer la Cène, elle eut soin cependant alors d'avertir le peuple et de ses motifs et de ses principes ; car nos Ordonnances ecclésiastiques (1) s'exprimaient ainsi : a Que la sainte Cène de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ soit » dans son Eglise en aussi fréquent usage que faire se » pourra, selon son institution, et ainsi qu'il a été observé » dans l'Eglise ancienne.... Et quoique, pour le présent , » nous ayons été d'avis qu'elle soit administrée quatre fois » l'année, pourtant c'est un défaut que de la célébrer trop » rarement. » Sachons donc au moins, nies chers frères, profiter avec un saint empressement de toutes les occasions où l'Eglise nous rappelle à la table sacrée. Sachons en apprécier l'heu reux et rare retour. Sachons n'y revenir que pressés de la taira et de la soif de la justice. — Et puisque la Pàque des chrétiens est de tous les jours , sachons aussi communier tous les jours en esprit avec le Seigneur ; et préparons-lui la Pàque, comme si nous rompions le pain tous les jours! — Car vos ministres aussi , mes frères , vos ministres aussi sont chargés de vous dire de la part du Seigneur , comme Pierre et Jean au bienheureux disciple de Jérusalem : Le M aItre te fait savoir que son heure est venue , et qu'il veut venir à toiy qu'ih veut célébrée la Cène avec toi. Oà donc est la place où tu veux le recevoir? — Nous aussi, nous venons vous supplier de lui ouvrir la demeure qu'il demande dans vos cœurs, et de lui préparer la P&que. Mais que faut-il entendre par ces paroles, et qu'est-ce MAINTENANT POUR NOUS QUE DE PRÉPARÉE LA PAQUE ? — C'est accomplir en esprit et en vérité ce que PIsraël se lon la chair faisait autrefois en type et en figure. — Voilà (1) Passées en Conseil général, dans le temple de Saint-Pierre , le 3 juin 1576, TU. I , chap. IV , art. 149. SA PRÉPARATION. 165 ce qvli) nous reste i tous dire, mes frères, pour terminer l'instruction de ce jour. 1° Or , pour préparer la PAque, il fallait d'abord qu'on enlevât de sa demeure tout pain levé jusqu'à la moindre trace. — Quiconque était trouvé s'être servi de levain, du rant la tète, était retranché du milieu du peuple; et la sainte Ecriture nous appelle à voir dans cet usage une fanage de cette sincérité de coeur avec laquelle les vrais adorateurs doivent s'approcher de Dieu dans la sainte Cène. « Soyez sans levai* , nous dit l'apôtre saint Paul , car » Christ , notre Paque , a été immolé pour nous ; c'est » pourquoi célébriez la fête avec les pains sans levain » DE LA SINCÉRITÉ ET DE LA VÉRITÉ (1 Cor., V, 7). » — « Donnez-vous de garde du levain des pharisiens , qui est » l'hypocrisie, » a dit notre Seigneur (Luc, XII , 1). Oh oui! soyez sincères devant Dieu, sincères avec vous mêmes , mes chers frères. — Voilà la première disposition que le Seigneur requiert de vous, — le culte du cœur, le « culte d'esprit et de vérité (Jean, VI, 23). » — Et comme cette disposition est, hélas! beaucoup plus rare qu'on ne l'imagine d'ordinaire , examinez-vous bien vous mêmes en la présence de votre Dieu, pour chercher soi gneusement si vous ne recelez point en vos Ames quelque levain qu'il réprouve , et pour le rejeter aussitôt loin de vous. — Examinez-vous bien vous-mêmes , et demandez vous, la main sur la conscience :Suis-je réellement sincère? Puis-je dire comme David : « 0 mon Dieu! mon désir est » devant toi , et la pensée de mon cœur ne test point car m LA PAQCE CHRÉTIENNE. » chée (Ps. XXXVIII, 10); » ce que je te dis à ta table, je le sens réellement; ce que je te demande à ta table , je le désire réellement, j'en ai faim, j'en ai soif? — « Celui qui » sonde les reins et les cœurs (Apoc., II, 23) » peut-il dire, en me voyant venir à sa table , ce qu'il disait de l'heu reux Nathanaël qui s'approchait de lui : « Voici vraiment » un vrai Israélite , en qui il n'y a point d'obliquité » (Jean , 1 , 48) ?» Ce que mes lèvres ont proféré dans la maison de Dieu , mon cœur me le dit-il encore loin de an table, loin du temple, loin de ce jour? Ma dévotion ne ressemblerait-elle point , comme celle de tant d'autres, à ces cierges qu'on allume en entrant dans un temple et qu'on éteint dès qu'on en sort? Et ne serais-je point de ceux qui disent comme l'ancien peuple : « Quand aura passé ce sab » bat? Quand aura passé cette nouvelle lune (Ames, VIII, » 5) ? » et qui s'empressent de reprendre , dès le lendemain de la fête , le cours dépensées, le genre de vie et de plaisirs qu'ils regardaient , quelques jours avant la fête , comme incompatibles avec les dispositions que la communion de mande d'une âme fidèle ? 2° Le second devoir cérémonial prescrit aux Israélites qui préparaient la Pàque , c'était d'apprêter des herbes amères pour les mêler à leurs aliments pendant la tète, et pour se rappeler ainsi devant Dieu les amertumes de leur ancien esclavage et l'état de misère dont sa bonté les avait délivrés. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'sermons01gausgoog_7', 'collection': 'French-PD-diverse', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '1847.0', 'title': 'Sermons', 'creator': 'Gaussen, François Samuel Robert Louis', 'language': 'French', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '7222', 'token_count': '10814', '__index_level_0__': '4333', 'original_id': 'ac62784903cf95da7247f79ee637ba1f4719564792270dab5b933d7564f728de'} |

Gummy, My Impatience, and The Beast Called Dementia
Dementia, Karfelt, Gummy, Nobody Told Me
S.R. Karfelt/The Glitter Globe
My husband spent this week in Asia.
I cleaned cupboards. And didn't see Gummy all week. I meant to.
Planned to.
It hits me like that. A near paralyzing exhaustion.
A glance around my house can do it. It's still crammed with boxes and bags of Gummy's stuff.
Not that I can blame my lack of housekeeping entirely on anyone or anything else.
Somehow I find time to write novels.
And travel.
There are nine suitcases in Gummy's room of my house.
Only one is hers.
Let's not bring up the other three in my bedroom.
Obviously we're not counting the one with my hubby in Taipei.
The regular phone calls from Gummy's memory care, physical therapy, and guilt keep me still taking care of behind the scenes dementia business. Physical Therapy is new. It's to build strength because she keeps falling.
Lately she falls almost daily.
Out of bed.
Walking to the bathroom at night.
Most of the falls are more slides, down the wall, down the covers in bed to sit on the floor.
When the staff finds her and asks if she's hurt she likes to say, "Only my pride."
How can you not love this woman?
But how do we prevent it? Short of strapping her into a backpack I carry on my back, it's not entirely possible.
Believe me with each episode an entire team tries to trouble shoot the problem.
Oh, sure there are opinions and suggestions.
Take her mattress off the frame.
But then the bed's too low and she can't get up or down.
And likely that will make her fall.
Put up bed rails.
She won't understand and will climb over them.
And wind up falling that way.
Install a handle on the bed so she can pull herself up.
We did. She never notices it, until you point it out and explain the purpose. And then she says,
What? Nobody told me.
She needs a new chair in her room too. Hers is too low, though it's her favorite. She's stopped using it because she can't get in and out of it. Thus there's more bed sitting, and sliding out to the floor.
The new chair is to be a Queen Anne style, higher, and with arm rests she can use to push herself up. It should recline if possible, but there can be no handles or buttons. It needs to be the kind you use your body to lean back in, or lean forward to bring it up.
The chair can't have buttons and handles to make it recline. Unless it comes with someone to explain them 24/7, they're new and will never be learned.
When I think about shopping for that chair I get a visual. That gets me cleaning another cupboard. In my mind's eye I can't even get Gummy across the parking lot and through the showroom to the chair section of the furniture store.
This can wait for my husband's return.
It's a practical thing. That's his jurisdiction. Gummy will zone out or wander around a furniture store. I don't see her providing useful feedback. She'll look at the prices and then for her purse, and stress. We do need to make sure it's her size, that she's comfortable in it, and observe whether or not it confuses her though.
The whole idea makes me remember taking my dog, the Golden Retriever that had daily seizures, to the Vet. Everything was a Hollywood production with him. Just getting him there, in my car without air-conditioning in the summer in Texas, was a script for black comedy.
Once we got stuck behind a funeral for a busload of children who'd died in a horrific accident. It must have been 120° F in that car while we sat along the roadside for an hour.
Not long after our wedding that dog came home tucked inside my husband's jacket. A most excellent surprise. I adored him for it, and the dog. My adoration might have leaned slightly in the dog's favor. He was smart and clever, but within months he began to have seizures, and every one destroyed a couple IQ points.
I thought I'd have one with him while we sat on that dusty road.
It seemed a small thing while watching all those hearses pass by with tiny coffins inside.
Personal pain shrinks when viewed from a global scale.
Perspective is invaluable.
So I clean another closet. I'm ashamed of myself when I find paper products so old they crumble, or Sponge Bob party hats. My kids are out of college and onto their adult lives now.
Please understand I've been super busy the past fifteen years.
Running a business.
Writing those novels.
Combating chaos.
When I get to Gummy's old room of my house, I put good suitcases away, throw the broken ones away, and run to the store to return the brand new ones that broke on their first trip. Let me point out that Gummy's suitcase is from the 1950's and it still works perfectly.
Once I've done everything else I can possibly do to avoid it, I stand starring at eight (8!) EIGHT cardboard boxes filled with photographs.
What the hell am I supposed to do with fifty years of Gummy's photos?
The sight makes me glad my tens of thousands of photos are on my phone.
It's now been eight months since these have landed in my life, and I've been ignoring them. For months no one has been able to come stay at my house unless they know me well enough to understand why they have to sleep on the couch, and walk sideways to get around Gummy's things.
Something needs to be done here.
But I don't know where to begin, and I don't know where to put them even after I've sorted them.
I googled it.
What to do with old photographs?
The entire first page of hits were for Pinterest.
I'd rather self-tattoo them into my skin than Pinterest anything.
While I was traveling earlier this summer, and wishing for time to stop so I could avoid reality longer, I came up with a plan. Every cupboard and closet in my house must be emptied. Everything but bare essentials must go. I will simplify my life. This includes my books. All of them. Well. Most of them. Okay. Many of them. Let's be real. Some.
Like cookbooks.
Who am I trying to kid there?
A day after my husband left, the dishwasher backed up and flooded part of the kitchen. I stood staring at that swamp in the morning. My life hack is not to dirty any more dishes. It's happened before so I know that Juan will engineer it in ten minutes. Sure I could call a plumber, but experience has taught me it'd be simpler and cheaper just to move instead of dealing with plumbing repairs.
That night I ordered a salad and Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden for takeaway. I ate it listening to music and sitting on the kitchen counter eyeballing the swamp until about midnight. Then I drained the swamp with a mop and a roll of paper towels.
After that I couldn't stop. I've gone cabinet to cabinet and room to room with my cleaning mission since.
Today I'm finally in Gummy's room. Part of me wants to unload these pictures without looking. I know. That would be wrong. But I still haven't gotten over the boxes of effing teacups yet.
Since I couldn't find a way to avoid this job, and believe me I've looked, today is the day.
Let the sorting commence.
We'll be sorting you all into different houses. (Mentally I'm approaching this like the first day of school at Hogwarts. Only instead of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, they're going to other family members.)
If you're in the picture, it's yours.
Now that I've decided these aren't all staying at my house forever I'm prepared.
Except with dementia you're never prepared. Sometimes you just like to think you are. In the boxes are hundreds of photographs of my kids, hundreds of Gummy's kids, hundreds of Gummy as a kid. I go slowly. These pictures are a tidal wave of memories of the things we've done with Gummy and Poppy. They're fill in the detail props of so many stories or events I'd only heard about.
Pictures from the scenes in the book I wrote about Gummy and me are here in living color.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, and I have all these thousands of pictures, I guess I'm rich.
The memories are priceless. I go slower than slow, stopping to snap photos of photos and send them to other people. I call other people to ask questions.
Is Gummy the tall one in the middle?
Yes! Gummy's in the middle!
I wouldn't be surprised if that dance costume is in her pile of clothes. She saved everything.
When we were moving around the country, I used to send photos to family. Gummy saved every one, and a good many of the envelopes they came in. Not to mention the negatives. Remember negatives? I'd forgotten them.
It's so easy to forget the past.
Cards and letters from my kids are in the boxes along with crafts and notes from all Gummy's and Poppy's grandchildren. It doesn't stop there. If you ever in the history of the world, sent them a photo of one of your kids, they kept it. All Christmas cards and school photos have been saved.
Including one from a family I don't know that all wore antlers (as in real moose ones) in their Christmas picture. Dude. I saved that one.
This task has become surprisingly comforting. Mostly. Let us never speak of the box sprinkled with cat litter and the evidence of mice.
Yet I sorted it just the same.
The photos moved through time. Poppy riding mules in Morocco. Standing on a tank. Marrying Gummy.
This kiss!
Then their parent's childhood photos.
This stuff is like hitting the writer lottery
What a testament to a wonderful life. I didn't cry once. How fortunate Gummy has been to have had all of this. She had enough, and she loved. That makes a happy life.
Isn't Gummy's expression priceless?
BAM. She choose wisely!
To me Gummy figured out happiness a long time ago.
So I clean Gummy's room, making way for friends to come visit me again, making way for all the wonderful memories I can cram into my beautiful life—and I'm just glad, so effing glad I've known this woman and shared some of her wonderful life for a time.
So when my daughter calls and says, "Hey, let's take Gummy out to dinner tonight." I say, "Sure. She'd like that."
Gummy's not making memories anymore, but we are, and she's still part of ours.

Wondering Why?
Why is Google called Google?
Why is Google called Google?
Have you ever wondered where the famous search engine got its name? Why is Google called Google? It is a big mystery, as the word is not a word at all. Well, not when it was stuck as a household name, and people already consider it as a verb.
According to the founders of Google.com, they were thinking about a good name, something that would relate to arranging and organizing large amounts of data. It was mentioned that one of them said it would be like ‘googolplex’. Googol was a term which referred to 1 followed by 100 zeros, a very large number. They had it shortened to ‘Googol’ instead.
They tried to search it over the domain name registry database and found that it was available for use. However, one of the founders was not that good at spelling, and typed ‘Google’ instead. Since then, they had Google.com registered under Larry Page and Sergey Brin ‚ the domain name registration records show that the domain name was registered on September 15, 1997.
Today, Google has become a part of our everyday lives, as it helps us to search for all our needed information, no matter how important, trivial or weird it may be. It has become such a widely spoken term that even the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary added the term Google in 2006. According to the definition, Google meant to use the Google search engine to obtain information through the internet.
True enough, Google.com has become one of the most valuable brands in the universe, and it still has the most widely used search engines to date. Google.com’s mission is to find a way to organize all the immense information in the web so that it is easily accessible to all the users of the search engine. So, do not be surprised to hear people, especially the computer and internet savvy ones, use the term Google as a verb in everyday language. You might even find yourself using the search engine for all your searching needs, and speaking the term when you talk to other people.

Electoral College Nonsense
Posted Tuesday, November 6, 2012, at 2:34 PM
The framers of the Constitution were forced to compromise when it came time to define the presidential election process. Some legislators wanted the president to be elected by a purely popular vote of the people and others, not trusting the people to make the correct decision, wanted Congress to elect the president. So, as politicians often do, they compromised and created the Electoral College.
In essence, they created a camel.
According to Article III, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the populace doesn't really vote for a candidate, it votes for an elector. Electors are nominated by their state political party (usually a committee). The number of electors for each state is equal to the number of U.S. Senators (2 per state) and U.S. Congressmen (based upon state population) representing each state. Once the electors have been determined, each elector then casts the "official" vote for a candidate.
Most of the time the electors cast their votes for the candidate who received the most votes in their state but they're not legally bound to do so.
There are 538 electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 to win the election. If no candidate receives 270 votes, the president is elected by the House of Representatives whereby each state is allowed only one vote, which means that Rhode Island and California have just one vote each.
This is one ugly camel.
There have been four elections where the candidate who had the most popular votes didn't win the election.
1) In 1824, Andrew Jackson had 38,000 more popular votes than John Quincy Adams but neither had a majority in the Electoral College. The House of Representatives elected Adams.
2) In 1896, Samuel Tilden beat Rutherford B. Hayes by 264,000 votes but Hayes carried five out of the six smallest states to win the Electoral College outcome by one vote.
3) In 1888, Grover Cleveland beat Benjamin Harrison by 95,713 votes but won the Electoral College by 65 votes to win the presidency.
4) In 2000, Al Gore received over 500,000 more votes than George W. Bush but Bush had a total of 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266.
Basically, the Electoral College is a weighted system designed to give heavily populated states more power in elections yet allowing small states to swing an election, thereby giving them a certain amount of clout as well.
Whether this concept works well is subject to debate. In a recent survey, over two-thirds of Americans wanted to do away with the system and rely strictly on a popular vote. However, that might be easier said than done. Amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress.
Unfortunately, many federal lawmakers are reluctant to tamper with the Constitution because they're afraid it will open a whole new can of worms. They're worried that making any changes to the Constitution would open the door for additional changes and don't want to mess with it.
Eliminating the Electoral College would also allow the emergence of additional political alternatives, eroding the influence of the two major political parties. Winning the presidency by popular vote would require a majority (50%) of the vote. Thus many candidates could run for the office and become potential spoilers. The two major candidates would possibly be forced to give some concessions to minority parties to gain their support. But as is true with human nature, especially with politicians, those in power don't want to give up their power.
The Electoral College is a camel bequeathed to us by our founding fathers. The framers of the Constitution were very wise men but this is a new era of communications and technology.
However, what worked in 1776 may not be the most desirable option in the 21st century. It's time for government to catch up with the rest of us.
If we really need a camel, we can always ship one in from Baghdad.

It seems to be impossible to hold a credible election without reforming the electoral system. Makes me wonder why we get to vote! Those 538 mules are worriesome. We need a stallion that can keep that herd of mules straight! Thanks Bret, and please no camels for me!

The last time Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers had a gig in Asheville, N.C., her friend Grace Potter was playing at the same time at The Orange Peel a few blocks away.
"We were bummed to be playing the same night," Bluhm said. "But after her show, she announced from stage that we were playing at the Asheville Music Hall. So everybody from her show came down to the Music Hall and we ended up playing a third set. An unexpected rush of rowdiness hit the Hall."
Even without Potter's encouragement, Bluhm and the Gramblers put on a high energy show that tend to get more and more wound up as the night goes on.
Think rolling foothills rising into the mountains.
Songs run the gamut from traditional bluegrass to "rowdy and rocking" songs. There are four songwriters in the five-piece band with Bluhm taking on the lion's share of writing responsibilities.
Of course, with a heavy touring schedule, the writing has to wait.
"Every now and then something will pop up on the road," Bluhm said. "One of the songs for the next record that's going to be released later this summer, we started on the road. But that's unusual. It usually happens at home."
Home is California, but there's plenty of Nashville twang and door-kicking drums.
"Usually I sit down with a guitar and come up with an idea and play some chords," said Bluhm of her typical writing process. "Then I put a melody on top of it and write some words. Usually the lyrics are finished and some of the arrangement, too, when it gets brought to the band. It comes pretty much finished to the band – the cake without the icing. We'll arrange it a little differently, mess with the harmonies, maybe add a bridge, tweak it a little bit."
Fresh off an appearance at the 9th Annual Mountain Jam in Hunter Mountain, N.Y., Bluhm and the Gramblers are in full touring mode.
"Playing music," Bluhm said. "That's the best part of it all. Driving in the van, loading the gear, sleeping in hotels, and being away from home, that's the work part. The music is the fun part."
And fans who've experienced an evening with the Gramblers are likely to agree that the music is more than just a little fun.
"Being with your friends, doing exactly what you want to be doing, singing a song that you wrote out of nothing, and just having a good time," said Bluhm. "It's the best thing you can imagine."
Bluhm's band-mates surprise her "every night." The camaraderie shines through the music.
"More than anything it's just so nice to play together," Bluhm said. "When you play music with the same people for so long night after night after night, it really becomes one organism. You get to know each other musically and you start to read each other and predict each other's next move."
Just as the organism of the band evolves, so too do the songs.
"The songs morph for sure," Bluhm said. "We're not a jam band or anything, so we play our songs pretty true to form, but sometimes we'll kind of take a left turn and try something new or make up a new ending or add a different part or think of a nice segue between two songs."
Bluhm has sat in with some of the legends of the jam band scene, including Bob Weir and Phil Lesh formerly of the Grateful Dead. She and the Gramblers just came off a tour opening for warren Haynes and Gov't Mule.
"It all depends on the person you're playing with," Bluhm said. "It could be really exciting and take you to a new place or it can a little bit of an adjustment. It depends on the night, the venue. There are so many factors that weigh in on and experience."
Whether opening or headlining, as they will be at the Asheville Music Hall, Bluhm and the Gramblers have a remarkable ability to adapt to any room or audience.
"Since we've started playing with bigger bands, we've been able to play some bigger theaters. It's really nice to stretch out and play bigger stages and play bigger rooms. We love that," Bluhm said, "but we also love getting back to a club where it's tight and packed. We're pretty adjustable, pretty diverse in the rooms we can play. We have friends everywhere. Each experience is equally interesting."
It'll be a rowdy night of richly textured music, a well-modulated set list, and Bluhm’s beautiful voice.
"We've got a lot of instruments," Bluhm said. "Bunch of guitars, keys, and drums. Four-part harmonies. We like to have a good time and people should come expecting to have a good time, too." | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '24', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9749748706817628}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '53820', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:V4TDJTOHIK7JI2B457NY74JMVOK3XWFO', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:564a1ba6-991a-4262-a9c8-47796d04698b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 4, 19, 10, 37, 22), 'WARC-IP-Address': '199.83.132.15', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ID6MJT4GCAVTOL6FWQNR6EUOXMIVNMUE', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d4991cae-6385-4336-90ec-6f1e6c2af599>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.goupstate.com/entertainment/20130612/nicki-bluhm--the-gramblers-set-to-perform-in-asheville', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:1912a644-95f4-473c-9705-798219403005>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '805', 'url': 'http://www.goupstate.com/entertainment/20130612/nicki-bluhm--the-gramblers-set-to-perform-in-asheville', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-152-23-81.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-17\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2018\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': '0.021484971046447754', 'original_id': 'f295487fa509fdca61dd6a0ff30dafae7dbc04668cf46f58f6c4a38235165645'} |
Thank You
Why accept the first offer of leasing when you could save thousands?
You should always check the leasing rental offered by your supplier, you could save thousands!
By choosing Oak over a leading supplier’s online calculator on a new start business, with a cost of £12500, would save you over £2000 over the three years!
And if the cost was £25,000 the saving would be £4,752. That is a real saving to you. For an established customer, on the same amount, the saving would be £2232!
These are straight fixed term leasing contracts, there are no low teaser rates, no annual fees, just transparency, and our wealth of experience. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9557775259017944}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '45466', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3FHKDTHBNDSUNWO2RR5WVJFOGRSIDWIW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a9f0bb5b-862f-4301-9c43-c17d4f626870>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 23, 4, 37, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '162.13.249.235', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:E67SVTBNPQ2RQG7SEUXMK7NEES5B2F53', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:b848a9cc-d653-42ce-ba11-57af8c13e048>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.oaklease.co.uk/repayment-calculator-thank-you/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:666d465b-a129-4896-8beb-0338cf41322a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '106', 'url': 'https://www.oaklease.co.uk/repayment-calculator-thank-you/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-61-111.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': '0.04521608352661133', 'original_id': 'c3c36c3b8da3a3532e975980f907d200d46de9ec145f29e21a4024b00bea0379'} |
Q:
Disable all checkboxes after 1 row is selected
I want to disable the checkboxes for all rows except the one the user selects. There can only be one selection made and they should be able to unselect one which would re-enable the other checkboxes again. I have created a simple example as a starting point. I am new to Knockout and I am stuck. Thanks for any help.

How To Get Rid of Devils ( Aaseb ) With The Help of Quran
How To Get Rid of Devils ( Aaseb ) With The Help of Quran ,” As salamu allaiqum, When the evil jinns get into the bodies of someone and begin dominant his thought method, then the person is alleged to be ‘possessed’ by devils/jinns.
In some cases the devils enter into the kinsfolk because of some attraction like kinsfolk have amongst each the sexes. but principally it happens once the devils become vindictive. this might happen once somebody’s being causes them some bother accidentally.
For example, if a person urinates on a heap of rubbish wherever some devil could be taking rest, therefore the devil feels that the person has on purpose caused him bother then he takes revenge by getting into his body.
The jinns area unit quite cruel and ignorant naturally and typically similar to some mischief mongers amongst humans, the jinns too behave in an exceedingly mischievous approach and enter kinsfolk to provide them bother.
If such devils attempt talking with the person then they ought to be with courtesy requested to depart. just in case the devils area unit attracted towards the actual person in whose body they wind up, they ought to be reminded that they’re doing an excellent sin (gunahe kabira). though there’s a mutual agreement amongst each the jinss and therefore the soul, then too this can be thought-about to be vulgar and may be a sin for each the parties.
If the jinn has entered the body to require revenge, then he ought to be told that the person didn’t do any factor advisedly and he has the correct to behave in any explicit approach in his own house. Since the jinns themselves trespass into another person’s property ,so that person can’t be control chargeable for any damage he has caused to him, primarily as a result of the jinns aren’t visible to the human eye.

Ricin letters sent to Bloomberg refer to gun control
The FBI is searching for a suspect who allegedly sent letters poisoned with ricin to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and one of his allies who works as a gun-control lobbyist. The letters refer to anti-gun efforts, Bloomberg said. NBC’s Jonathan Dienst reports.
Share This:
>> and we start with a big story here in new york city being talked about across the country. those poisonous letters being sent to new york 's mayor. we have fresh information this morning from jonathan deanst.
>> the letter to the mayor was stopped ahead of time. but the letter to the lobbyist did reach him and he opened it, but he has not fallen ill.
>> i don't know, the letter obviously referred to our anti-gun efforts.
>> reporter: michael bloomberg confirmed one ricin letter was sent to him but intercepted by an alert mail room worker. where mail is initially screened. but in washington, gun control activist mark glaze got his letter at his private office. officials say both ricin letters threaten the mayor warning no one is going to take away gun rights . the d.c. police report says the letter had a whitish orange substance on the note and was opened as glaze walked outside. glaze helps run mayors against illegal guns , an organization that bloomberg supports. the group runs ads like these across the country.
>> what's right comes with responsibility. that's why i support comprehensive background checks.
>> mayor bloomberg says he will carry on his campaign.
>> we have to make sure we get it under control and eliminate.
>> tests were positive in both cases and official lab results for the new york letter are also positive. ricin is a poison made from kaster beans and can be deadly when it's ground up and inhaled. the letters were mailed from shreveport , louisiana, on may 20th . as a precaution, screeners at the white house and capitol hill have been warned to look out for possible additional letters. this case comes weeks after an arrest was made in a previous ricin mail threat case where letters were sent to president obama and some members of congress but were stopped in advance at offsite screening facilities.
>> in this case, it's unclear how potent the letters were, although, police officers who initially responded reported minor illnesses over the weekend.
>> you say shreveport , louisiana, have investigators come up with any leads on suspects and anything more on what was written in the letters?
>> well, what's written in the letters were threats to the mayor and lots of writings about gun control and the right to bear arms. that's the sort of language. as to who did this, the fbi is hard at work trying to track a suspect. there was no return address. obviously they're going to look for fingerprints, dna, any sort of evidence out of shreveport . we're told the fbi office has the lead along with the fbi here in new york .
>> having changed procedures in terms of handling mail coming into government offices in new york and elsewhere?
>> well, here in the city, it was stopped. found at the offsite facility. and it was a mail room worker who found the envelope, noticed something wrong with it and stuck it in the boxes with gloves and first indicated it and called police. that's how it got uncovered.
>> jonathan, thank you very much.
>> thank you. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '3', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9847179651260376}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '23339', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:PE3URFH54OIYDJ4JVM4YGBPY6OFJ66CF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:4cc5b12d-6483-461b-8377-0044d1fa0e5c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 31, 13, 42, 10), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.0.160.40', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Z5ZNUXDMLQ2VZLZQWGM6Y7UADQNT6WVC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9ebb0b8b-77ad-49ee-ac24-ff0462fc0bb7>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.today.com/video/today/52042972', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b030565c-1603-443e-a54d-00d2385b8917>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '584', 'url': 'http://www.today.com/video/today/52042972', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-42\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for October 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': '0.030527710914611816', 'original_id': 'f5c5be8970f509d74fe1ad01994106d94864974547c5d971fabbbc0b25c6ece1'} |
