Thanks for posting the full-text. This has been kicking around the legal community for a few days, because it is so, so extraordinary. Judges just don’t do this.
I feel extremely pessimistic that Levine will even be forced to retire, much less that he will be tried for violations of the rules of judicial conduct.
Unfortunately, what I see, is that the rule of law and the faith of the common person that their case will be heard fairly just keep taking a beating. Of course, the conduct is nothing new — it’s the drumbeat of revelations that seems to be growing. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '126', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.915407419204712}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '57428', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XRPHYL7BJFXTF7WPHCMQ5HDVQIRR3ABL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:561146df-58c5-4509-86b6-d1c88e4a05e6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 12, 9, 5, 0, 25), 'WARC-IP-Address': '108.174.155.144', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:DTVJQ5ZRCIYCQXH2JITR6JGUFMYVRQM6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2890708d-f631-4873-b2ec-576dbc1b8084>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/10/judge-painter-retirement-letter-wsj-article-on-judge-lynch/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:59715d06-12ab-4b93-a6f2-966790591a9a>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '237', 'url': 'http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/10/judge-painter-retirement-letter-wsj-article-on-judge-lynch/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2013-48\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for Winter 2013\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.07589548826217651', 'original_id': 'eccb19bb7dcaa12005ff2ab5ff276c77fdac68c9875379906e2a28a15abb0fb3'} |
Rome, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- With two folk songs written about the North Pond Hermit, he is rapidly becoming a folk hero in Maine. However, outdoor experts disagree about whether Christopher Knight's tall tale is totally true.
Knight was arrested on April 4 as he was robbing the Pine Tree Camp for Children and Adults. Since 1945, the camp has provided services, including summer camping experiences for people with physical and developmental disabilities.
Knight told police that he was the North Pond Hermit and that he had robbed around a thousand camps. He said he had lived alone in the woods since late April of 1986 and had only spoken to one human during that period.
He was arrested and taken to the Kennebec County Jail.
Since that time, a groundswell of interest has developed over his story.
Police who arrested him and many in the area are absolutely convinced his story is true. Others are not convinced and a growing number of camp owners in the area are upset that police did not do more to catch the pilferer.
"You can't convince me that nobody knew, not in this day and age," said Geogette Kanach who teaches survival skills for the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's Becoming an Outdoor Woman (BOW) program.
The encampment was about 200 yards off a camp road and 200 yards North Pond. The total patch of woods was perhaps one square mile.
Retired Warden Lieutenant Pat Dorion thought Knight's story was true. " To think that somebody could live by themselves with no human contact to survive the elements when you hear about all the different things that he has to sustain himself from that type of environment, I think anybody could do it. Why would anyone chose to do it, we'll probably never know."
Knight is reportedly in the general prison population at the Kennebec County Jail where he is said to be getting along fine, playing cards and living on three square meals a day.
Stan Keach has written a song entitled, "What the North Pond Hermit Knows." Follow the link if you want to take a listen.

Q:
Can not dual boot 15.10 after installation from USB on Laptop Acer Aspire v13-371
I have Acer Aspire V13-371 and preinstalled Win10. It has BIOS v1.28. I set Hyperpass and disabled secure boot. I start it with Live USB key via Temp boot order and it works fine; it works even if I just change boot order in BIOS/uEFI with Live USB stick. So Live CD comes up and I choose erase entire disk and install Ubuntu, then choose other USB stick to have it installed on it (to have completly separated installation of Ubuntu on USB stick)...installation is completed with a success and after I reboot my laptop and have new, fresh USB Ubuntu stick inserted, I just see Win boot loader...I also tried to with this procedure, same result:
uEFI only bootable USB
If I do same procedure on my desktop, it just works smoothly...
Any ideas?
If I start Ubuntu with Live USB and then write in grub exit, I'm returned back to Loader when I can see new USB stick along with LIVE USB and Win boot loader...
A:
First boot into your Windows installation and disable hibernation and Fast Boot.
Disable hibernation by opening command prompt as administrator and execute:
powercfg /h off
To disable Fast Boot open Control Panel (the old version - not the modern design),
select the Energy Settings, enable show hidden settings and uncheck Fast Boot.
Shut down the machine completely - do NOT reboot !
Reinstall the GRUB boot loader to your Ubuntu installation in EFI mode.
Boot from the Ubuntu installation media - open a terminal and execute:
sudo mount /dev/sd*** /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sd** /mnt/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sd*
update-grub
Note:
sd* = disk | sd** = efi partition | sd*** = system partition
To identify the partition numbers use GParted - it is included in the Ubuntu install media.
Boot into BIOS and select Ubuntu in UEFI settings as the default operating system to boot.
You now can select which operating system you want to boot from the GRUB boot menu.

After having raised Lazarus the Jewish authorities made plans to kill Jesus. Jesus therefore left and went to a town called Ephraim ( John 11:54).
This city of Ephraim can be identified with the archaeological site of Khirbet el-Maqatir, where remains of houses, a city wall, ritual baths and a large tower from the first century have been discovered. This is the only site to the immediate north of Jerusalem that has a city wall and therefore qualifies to be called a city (Gk: polis). | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9386575818061828}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '71398', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:KRWM4BPWEJ45NBEPEQM7CQHVEKEWPFSE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2fe05d1e-bcbd-44ef-ac5b-1a362d08c30a>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 21, 20, 16, 29), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.124.249.161', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ZQXH7HHP2PKTCTYCZBBLZJ2ABCXCFIF3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:150afd84-c6ab-4568-a710-ab3d515aeae3>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.ritmeyer.com/product/image-library/buildings/cities/ephraim/?add-to-cart=2769', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f5cbda89-13d4-4694-aac2-fd75b90b0897>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '86', 'url': 'https://www.ritmeyer.com/product/image-library/buildings/cities/ephraim/?add-to-cart=2769', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-130\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.07219481468200684', 'original_id': 'f77502ecf377b74924ff67fd4290d8a09444eb0b60ded27eac5623c9e348070f'} |
What will happen, specifically to the price of Bitcoin and transaction fees when the block reward drops to a negligible amount?
Today, each block reward is approximately worth 25 * $300 = $7,500. To generate a tantamount reward as today, with (an assumed) 4000 transactions per block at today's exchange rate, the average transaction fee would have to be $1.87.
Under these assumptions that would put Bitcoin out of business in terms of being an affordable way to make everyday transactions, especially micropayments.
Now I know that block size is mutable so does this mean it's inevitable? Or does it mean that the price of BTC will have to rise to at least the cost to mine a block divided by the transactions per block multiplied by the exchange rate to be worthwhile? Doesn't this then mean that the value of Bitcoin outside it's functional value, is then ultimately determined by the block size which markets don't have control of?
Does BTC fiat price increase to meet the collective cost of actually hashing the transaction block or does the total block transaction fee value determine it?
My point is, when transaction fees are the ONLY incentive to mine (and that will happen eventually as a certainty) the total sum of the transaction fees must match the cost of mining the block they were included in. If the block costs more to mine than the value of the transaction fees in a block, miners (most) will shut down. At least so many will shut down that the network becomes insecure and Bitcoin will die.
• I'm not really sure where to start with this. Why would the price of BTC rise if the block reward fell? Why wouldn't the existing difficulty adjustment make mining easier if some miners left? – Nick ODell Jul 19 '15 at 6:14
• Welcome to StackExchange. This question is a poor fit for SE - it might be better in a forum instead. It's extremely long, and it invites discussion more than it invites answers. – Meni Rosenfeld Jul 19 '15 at 8:07
• Hi Dave, welcome to Bitcoin.SE. Your question had a bit of a "wall of text" effect on me, so I've trimmed it to the essential thoughts to make it more accessible. Please feel free to further edit it. Especially, I've removed portions where you guess at an answer. Please focus on laying out the topic in questions, and leave it to answer posts to provide explanation. If you can answer one of your own questions, you may add your own answer. – Murch Jul 19 '15 at 14:38

You've completely failed to mention the difficulty retarget mechanism in your analysis. If the block reward drops, miners will quit until the difficulty is low enough that the remaining miners will break even. This will happen regardless of what the new reward per block is, the only thing that changes is the new difficulty/hashrate. (There is some subtlety in that the retarget mechanism takes time to kick in, but if the drop is gradual that's not much of a problem.)
With low hashrate, the network is less secure. This is why we need to come up with ways to make sure transaction fees are sufficient to fund an acceptable level of mining. (A limit on the data size of blocks is a possible such way, but not a very effective one IMO.)
But the drop in reward will not magically cause the price to go up. The price is determined by the market.
• With low hashrate, the network is less secure. And with less secure transactions the markets drop down. And with markets dropping down miners are quitting. I think that I can predict nearest future :) – amaclin Jul 19 '15 at 14:58

Q:
Curious: Disable jQuery and Javascript interactions unless user is logged in?
Is it possible to disable jQuery and Javascript interactions unless the user is logged in?
At first I wanted to put all the interactions in a seperate file, and then load it in with PHP when the user is logged in, but is there a different way to do this, or would you think it's better to do the following:
Create a log-in screen before the user comes to the main part of the website.
A:
We have HTML5 now! Just create a HTML session or a php $COOKIE and control your javascript functions with a simple if statement.
WEB STORAGE
localStorage.setItem("is_logged_in", var);
if(is_logged_in){
//all of your functions in here
}
You can read more here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
PHP
Easier way and personally my favorite is using PHP.
$var = "is_logged_in";
setcookie($var , time() + (86400 * 30), "/")
And then for the check:
<?php if(isset($_COOKIE[$var])) { ?>
//all of your functions in here
<?php } ?>
You can read more here http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_cookies.asp
EDIT
And ofcourse you can always instead of having a huge if statement you can disable all controls in a very smaller if.
<?php if(isset($_COOKIE[$var])) { ?>
$('button').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
<?php } ?>

World Bank marks Czech Republic's graduation to 'developed' status
This Tuesday the President of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz is in Prague to mark an important shift in how the Czech Republic is viewed. Until now, the country was officially labelled a developing country; since the fall of communism in 1989 it has been a beneficiary of World Bank funds that have had a profound impact on the country's transformation to a market economy and becoming a full-fledged democracy. Now, on February 28th, the Czech Republic officially graduates to 'developed'. That has been a long-time coming, agreed formally a year ago, and is of course largely symbolic. But, the shift will also have some significant effects.
President of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz and the Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek, photo: CTKPresident of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz and the Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek, photo: CTK Jan Velinger spoke to economist Marketa Sichtarova just a little while ago:
"I suppose this is just a symbolic act, because in reality the Czech Republic is already a part of the European Union, which means it is already quite 'developed'. This act will probably have no immediate impact on the public. The most immediate for the country will be the fact that the country cannot receive further funds from the World Bank, on the contrary it will now itself have to contribute to less-developed countries."
The Czech Republic shifting from beneficiary to provider bringing with it new responsibility, are there positive effects though from the Czech Republic receiving 'developed' status?
Photo: European CommissionPhoto: European Commission "The Czech Republic can receive a better-looking 'label' on international markets, foreign trade. If Czech companies will be able to successfully market the fact that the Czech Republic has graduated then their goods may be better 'sellable' abroad, leading to higher profits. [But there's another interesting point]: the Czech Republic has a good combination of two factors: first, it is a developed country but it still has a very cheap work force, and that's not a very common combination in a single country. For foreign capital and direct foreign investment this remains a good combination. As a result of the new World Bank rating the Czech Republic [will likely] receive more foreign direct investment in future years." | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '14', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9557219743728638}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '56226', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:TH2LWEU7FJAQS2B2SPOIXJMBNLSQ43LU', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:25c972aa-8115-42f4-a245-b09021e33456>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 4, 26, 7, 52, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '195.113.180.101', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:POL4V7VGE4BNRK4WLKX7GNHUPWKUBFE6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:04723a6a-f0fe-4e56-8f6e-3810c1e3dbae>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.radio.cz/en/section/curraffrs/world-bank-marks-czech-republics-graduation-to-developed-status', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2f9ae65a-a514-4246-a9d3-ef26c2143981>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '368', 'url': 'http://www.radio.cz/en/section/curraffrs/world-bank-marks-czech-republics-graduation-to-developed-status', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-17\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2017\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.12838900089263916', 'original_id': '901f59ca044ad90433a357948509ecd1f19e2b14a5beb030c8390c3ab2d29444'} |
If you listen carefully you might just hear anguished parents screaming across the country... CBBC's broadcasting hours are to be extended to 9pm.
The move will give kids two more hours of children's television every night.
The broadcaster's governing body approved the plans after agreeing to move BBC Three online, which frees up broadcast spectrum for CBBC.
But the proposal has drawn a mixed response from audiences.
Richard Ayre, trustee and member of the services committee at the BBC Trust, said public responses were "split pretty much down the middle" between parents who would value an extra two hours in helping them manage their evenings and those who thought it was not desirable to have services aimed at their children after 7pm.
"At the end of the day we had to take a view - do you allow half the audience that doesn't want something to be available to the other half who do want it to prevail? And there is the 'off' button," he said.
Mr Ayre said this is a "partnership" in that the BBC does its best to guarantee what it offers for young children is safe, appropriate and suitable, but parents can also "exercise some discretion about when they want their children to watch it".
BBC Three online
Moving BBC Three online next year could lead to a 80% drop in viewers, the broadcaster's governing body has said.
The financially-motivated proposal was provisionally approved by the BBC Trust in June and its fate has now been formally sealed.
The trust's final decision will see the partial demise of the channel that brought hit shows including Gavin And Stacey and Don't Tell The Bride to TV viewers.
It will begin to run online in February, with the TV channel remaining in place until March to direct viewers to its new home on the internet.
Trustees found there was clear public value in moving BBC Three online as evidence shows younger audiences are watching more on the web and watching less linear TV.
But a public value assessment (PVA) found that 80% of the "uniquely-reached" BBC Three audience would "simply be lost". BBC Three currently has a unique audience of about 975,000.
The Trust has imposed conditions in a bid to mitigate a loss as high as 80% by saying BBC One and Two must broadcast two hours of BBC Three shows per week across the schedule in "visible slots".
The PVA also found the move offered low value-for-money because of the smaller audience but recognised the closure would generate a net saving of £30 million per annum to offset financial pressures or for investment in other areas.
The trust acknowledged the strength of public opposition to the closure of the TV channel but considered the proposal had "intuitive force".
It said the long-term future of broadcasting "seems likely to be online" and added the BBC needs to find innovative ways to support the audience move in that direction.
The trust recognised that the move online is earlier than the BBC Executive would "ideally have planned".
It said: "Not everyone has access to or can afford a reliable internet connection and for many young people, television remains important.
"We note furthermore that the loss of the linear platform may result in less exposure for new shows and that this could make it difficult for the BBC to attract and nurture new talent."
A condition requiring BBC Three programmes to be broadcast on BBC One and Two has been strengthened so all BBC Three long-form programmes must be broadcast on the two channels, on an ongoing basis, effective as soon as the TV channel closes. They must be broadcast at a variety of times across the schedule and throughout the UK.
A condition requiring BBC One and Two to offer programmes specifically aimed at younger audiences, including BBC Three programmes, requires the channels to offer distinctive programmes designed for younger audiences.
The trust has also added a requirement to the service licences for BBC One and Two to ensure continued creative risk-taking and experimenting with new talent and ideas.
The online BBC Three will also be required to have the same accessibility standards as the TV channel.
A service review will be conducted within 18 months, assessing the progress of the new online BBC Three and the effectiveness of the conditions the trust has imposed.
The trust could then consider imposing quotas or formal targets if it considers that performance against the conditions has been unsatisfactory.
iPlayer
Meanwhile, the trust has approved plans to develop iPlayer beyond a catch-up service, to include online-first and third party content.
But it formally rejected the BBC's proposals for a BBC One +1 channel on the basis of limited public value.
BBC trustee Suzanna Taverne, chairwoman of the trust's services committee which led the assessment of the proposals, said: "The decision to close a TV channel is a difficult one and one we have not taken lightly.
"The BBC must adapt with its audiences. The evidence is very clear that younger audiences are watching more online and less linear TV.
"The plans enable the BBC to deliver more distinctive content online while bearing down on costs. To address concerns about the impact of moving BBC Three online, we have set new requirements for programmes for younger audiences on BBC One and Two."
Damian Kavanagh, controller of BBC Three, said: "Today is just the beginning for BBC Three and our plans to transform our offer for young people.
"We have lots of new content coming in 2016 and exciting new ways of delivering it in development.
"We will now set about launching a digital first BBC Three in early 2016."
Jono Read, from the #SaveBBC3 campaign, said: "The decision is bitterly disappointing and it is a very sad day for the future of the BBC.
"The BBC said the reason for doing this was to find £30 million to fund programming for BBC1, that's a television service already hugely funded by our licence fee.
"With The Voice now lost by the BBC, it will save about the same amount they needed from closing BBC Three.
"But the BBC failed to make that connection. It appears this is an example of young people being hit the hardest by cuts.
"We will now mull over this decision. If the decision can be challenged independently of the BBC and BBC Trust, we will do so. With hundreds of thousands on our side there's still time to make it happen."
More than 300,000 people have signed a petition to save the channel on change.org. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '03153ae3bd1d035d1bd4e24bd07642ea8191db71a53eba94233e619f8080b586'} |

Starting a business is an exciting way to bring creativity and revenue together.
Who are you?
What are you offering?
Why do people come to you?
What are you selling and what are people buying?
If you’re not selling, what is the problem?
The following are 50 questions to a more successful endeavor.
Identify the best professional you are in competition with. How can you offer the same service only better?
1. What is your role within the market place?
2. Ask yourself if you are suited for the industry. If the answer is no, what do you need to learn to be better in this industry? And does this knowledge fit your personality or is there something you might be better at offering?
3. What is your time commitment you have to devote for developing the various aspects of your business?
4. Do you really want this activity to be part of your daily life or as a long term professional lifestyle?

Create a routine of fulfillment…
Establish a routine that allows you to have all of what you are going after as part of your daily process. Factor in the workouts, healthy lifestyle, time for kids, family and your relationship. Think about the studies, marketing approaches and the people you are going to get to pay you for what you give to them.

Success is achieved through a clear intention and focused actions.
Planning a business can be exciting and fun. Use this checklist to make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch.
• Business name, brand and scope of offerings
• Class, category and industry of belonging
• Business structure for tax purposes; sole, partner, proprietary limited, trust
• Total of initial investment and start-up budget; personal funds, bank loans, family, venture capital, angel funding, government grants, crowd funding
• Licenses, permits, registrations and certificates, insurance, filings, franchises
• 1 page strategic plan establishing vision, key customers, marketing plan, daily routine and overall process with clear goals you are aiming to accomplish
• Relevant coach, consultant, mentor or specialist; accountant, attorney and all necessary requirements
• Website (if necessary) software, technological support, LinkedIn and avenues to market yourself
• Marketing material, brochures, business cards, promotional ads, emails, newsletters and elevator pitch
Managing Your Marketing
A marketing strategy combines a clear message about the product or service. It identifies the product or service’s logistics. There is a pricing strategy that makes sense that is well-positioned within the market that is then promoted in a way that makes sense for the demographic. The marketing strategy is how you manage your message getting out.
1. Create a marketing plan month-by-month. Designate different days of the week for a different message. Generate emails, LinkedIn posts, media and direct mail that match your monthly marketing plan.
2. Define the experience you wish people to have when they receive your marketing material. Feature things that match your brand. Create a culture with your marketing messages.
3. Use a design specialist or a specialty software to formulate all of your visual marketing. Keep logos, fonts and colors unified.
4. Manage all interactions with the highest level of professionalism. Share samples of your work with potential customers, but preserve your best work for your paying customers.
5. Don’t network. Do what you do. Do it well and people will find you.
6. Keep the cycle of success short. Customers like quick payoffs. Be sure to deliver everything you promise. Deliver the promise as fast as possible.
Best Value for Success
Charging for your services is an art. Getting paid with ease is the highest level of this art. With all the “free” marketing gimmicks employed in the last 15 years, consumers have gotten used to getting things for nothing. The mindset a lot of people have is to amass wealth just to say they have it and to pay as little as possible as they can for the maximum benefit. This is human nature, but this is the attitude you are battling anytime you take your product or service to market. Your job is when they show up, charge them a fair market value amount for the exchange. This is the art form of capitalism.
1. How are you pricing the product or service you sell? How are you factoring the value the customer receives with what you offer?
2. Are your financial goals proportional to your outgoing expenditures and inflow?
3. Are you prepared to pay attention, gut hunches, early warning signs, potentially detrimental connections and anyone who acts like your friend, but is really your enemy in business?
4. Do you keep an organizational chart to manage yourself, your connections and other? How will you self-govern yourself and your performance?
5. Is your record keeping up to par? Are you employing personnel? Are all of your agreements in place? Are your transactions clear? Are your true costs properly accounted for? Are you clear what you are in this business for?
6. What is your highest vision for you and this endeavor?
Overcoming Underearning
People today do so many things that they can forget to designate certain tasks that they only do for a fee. Your professional energy is how you get paid and earn a living. This is how you pay your mortgage and feed your family. If you are operating below par financially there is something within your psyche that needs healing. Specials are offered for underearners struggling with poverty through True Wealth Consulting.
Feeling a Sense of Belonging
One of the most significant influences in the success of your business is the sense of belonging. You may have a service someone needs, but when they want you and they want what you offer, it is the best feeling. If you find you struggle with the sense of contentment in any particular area, this deeper feeling will show up in your professional endeavors as a symptom. These inner conflicts will inevitably play themselves out within the relationships you have in the market place. True Wealth Consulting provides the services of identifying the inner wealth that leads to outer success.

Image Map Tutorial
Image Maps are a way to create images which have multiple links embedded within them. For instance an image with a map of the United States could be configured so that each state when clicked would link to a web page describing that individual state. Image Maps were once a very efficient way to accomplish this behavior. Today Image Maps are rarely used as other technologies have made the same behavior easier to achieve.
Originally to achieve the behavior of an image map web masters simply made several images, used table to arrange them, and made each image a link. This was time consuming; a single map had to be cut into several image and manually arranged using HTML code to appear as one image. Early image maps used server side code to get the coordinates of the mouse when a user clicked an image. Based on these coordinates a script or program would redirect the user to a different page. In HTML 3.0 the Map tag made it possible to do this all within the browser without having to enable any server side scripting.
HTML Proposals - Includes Proposal for Image Map tags by the HTML Working Group
Server side Image maps vary from server to server. Essentially all work the same however; they send the coordinates of the mouse when a user clicks an image to the server. The server then runs a program or script and sends a header redirect to the browser telling it to open a different page. To do this server side image maps use an ISMAP tag within the image source tag. The HTML Map tag allows for browser only, client side, image maps. To accomplish this a 'usemap' tag is added to the image source tag with the name of a specific map to use. Then a separate map tag is created which is named with the name specified in the usemap. This contains a list of coordinates and links so the browser knows where to link. Coordinates that are not specified do not link to anything.
The easiest way to generate a client side image map is to use a professional Web Design program. Adobe GoLive, Adobe Dreamweaver, and Microsoft Front Page all feature tools to accomplish this. Further numerous web sites have utilities that allow you to upload an image and create the code for an image map without having to enter coordinates by hand.
Today Image maps in general are seldom used. A simple alternative, albeit one that only allows for square linkable areas, is to use tables. In this case the image is made the background for a table defined by the size of the image. Then invisible gifs are placed in table cells with inks to the desired locations. Both Java Applets, and Flash are suitable alternatives for image maps, offering advanced transition effects to enhance the user experience. JavaScript today can also be used to implement Image Map like behavior without any server side coding.

AI as Talent Scout
Using analytics to identify nontraditional job candidates who are as qualified and high performing as traditional candidates
This NYT article profiles Eightfold, an analytics startup, that is developing a tool to help recruiters identity nontraditional candidates who are as qualified and high performing as traditional candidates. The CEO argues that this type of analytical tool could be a win-win for both employers and job seekers. For employers, it could help surface qualified candidates who are willing to accept a lower wage because of their nontraditional background. For job seekers, it could help them gain the attention of firms that had previous overlooked them.
The way the tool works is by extracting information from a candidate’s resume and then scoring the candidate based on a proprietary database of variables that are correlated to certain outcomes. For example, the CEO points out that since 90% of software engineers at Intuit knows the programming language Java, their algorithm “is on safe ground inferring that an Intuit software engineers knows Java, even if he or she doesn’t list the skill on a resume”. Other examples of correlations the CEO gave include chess players tend to be skilled at coding, basketball players are good at sales, and natural language processing majors at University of Massachusetts tend to become high-achieving workers.
I see a few pros and cons with this type of product:
1. Since the proprietary database is built by analyzing employers’ current employees and performance evaluations, it inherits any bias that exists in these past hires. By relying on this potentially biased database to score future hires, it could perpetuate biases. For example, if a company traditionally only hired men for a certain job, then the algorithm will blindly look for only men as it scans through resumes. Eightfold needs to address this problem in order to accomplish its mission of helping companies look beyond the traditional candidate.
2. The proprietary database could be incredibly hard to scale. Since non-traditional candidates, by definition, are in the minority at most organizations, Eightfold would need to sign up many customers in order to have valuable insights on attributes of non-traditional candidates. For example, their insight that natural language processing majors at University of Massachusetts tend to be high-achieving workers is an interesting one, but I question how big of a sample size the insight is based on given how specific this variable is.
3. The product only considers the candidate’s resume attributes (prior work and educational experiences). Given the limited scope of data, I wonder what the p-value and r-squared statistics are for the company’s predictions and what the company defines as good enough evidence to use as insights for their customers. I also worry about the potential of mistaking correlation for causation. For example, if the insight that basketball players tend to be better at sales comes from a customer that sells basketball shoes, then this particular insight may not apply to a customer that sells other products.
1. I like the fact that this product is used alongside human recruiters. Given some of the potential drawbacks and limitations described above, it would be important to have human in the loop to sanity check any recommendations from the system. Recruiters could use the tool as a way to ensure they haven’t overlooked any candidates since they’re often sifting through thousands of resumes in a limited amount of time.
2. If the product works the way it is advertised, it could help alleviate student’s pressure to pad their resume. In today’s competitive job market, employers heavily rely on the brand recognition (schools, prior firm) to judge whether a candidate is qualified. For example, private equity firms prefer candidates with Ivy league and investment banking backgrounds as a way to make sure the candidates have been vetted. While this approach is totally logical, it has the negative consequence of incentivizing students to seek out opportunities just for the sake of the credentials. My personal experience working in the industry suggests that candidates with non-traditional backgrounds can do the job just as well as the ones with traditional backgrounds.
3. The product could also help educational institutions better market themselves. I wonder if the University of Massachusetts knows that their natural language processing majors tend to be high achievers. By arming itself with this type of data, it maybe able to better market this particular major to prospective students. The potential draw back of this idea is that sharing the inner details of the algorithm may invite people to try to game the system. For example, a software engineering job seeker could list chess under interests just because he/she knows that the algorithm would rank them higher.

1 thought on “AI as Talent Scout
1. This is a very interesting article Hanyin! I particularly enjoyed reading your pros and cons analysis on this product. It is quite interesting to me that data has been used to establish such interesting insights as the example of the basketball playing and sales skills. I was actually thinking that it would be possible to argue that all the pros that you have listed could be cons as well. While I do not undermine the importance of the human touch, I do feel like it brings back the bias that algorithm is taking out and similarly, while students will not have to pad their resumes, they will still have the incentive to list all their experiences in order to allow for those credentials to translate to skills. For example, the example for Intuit above, as someone applying for the job, I would still want to list down all the companies I worked at, education institutes I went to and non career skills I have. While this is great for those who don’t have some of the traditional successful brands on their resume, I wonder what the incentive for companies would be to hire from there and whether the perceived value bias can be completely taken out with human involvement.

Subscribe To How American Horror Story: Roanoke Tied To Freak Show Updates
american horror story cunningham
For "Chapter 4," American Horror Story: Roanoke kicked the exposition into high gear, as viewers finally got some streamlined information about the central house and the many entities seen in and around it. We learned from Denis O'Hare's Dr. Elias Cunningham that the haunted abode has one huge connection to American Horror Story: Freak Show: it was originally built by Edward Philip Mott, distant ancestor to Season 4's Dandy and Fiona Mott.
Ryan Murphy recently teased that American Horror Story: Roanoke would be going into the backstory of the Mott family, saying it would be an amusing affair. This most recent episode sadly only gave us the brief namedrop as Elias was getting his drink on and popping open fake wall panels and sharing all of his research. (I really hope there's a real world tie-in book by Dr. Elias Cunningham released in the next year.) But while that's a shame, it just means we now have more information on which to base our anticipatory speculation.
Edward Philip Mott built the house, which unfortunately doesn't have a set nickname yet, back in 1792, but he should have looked around for some less haunted real estate. This eldest (that we know of) Mott ancestor went missing, making him not the first victim of Kathy Bates' Butcher, but the first of the homeowners to suffer her eternal vengeance. And considering The Butcher was literally pulling arms off of people's bodies as recently as 1989, I have to imagine Mr. Mott's death was particularly horrifying and possibly pig-related.
While it would be great to see how that death played out - and we probably will - I wonder if the backstory will allow for any cameos from either Dandy or Gloria Mott, and how that would even happen. Not that I'm against meeting others closer to the top of the Mott family tree. It wasn't made clear if Edward Philip Mott was the only person who vanished from the house after it was built, or if he had a family there with him. I really hope they just use Finn Wittrock to play his own descendant, and that he also has a swell head of hair.

Lots of other informational tidbits were shared during "Chapter 4," such as Lady Gaga being the magical and super horny ancient spirit that The Butcher worships, and the fact that she might be trying to have Matt's kid by mesmerizing him into having sex all the time. As well, we learned about an Asian family's troubles and discovered everything that's happening is tied to a six-day period in which the Dying Grass Moon gives way to the Blood Moon, which is when The Butcher and her league of ghouls are able to straight up murder real people. (Naturally.) And as indicated by the end of the episode when the mob is right outside, the Millers are in for some bad times.
With more dark histories, twists and people yelling "Croatoan" yet to come, American Horror Story: Roanoke airs Wednesday nights on FX at 10:00 p.m. ET. To see when everything else will hit the small screen later this year, check out our fall TV schedule.

Fire Up The Batmobile
I was recently watching a short film/documentary (only 18 minutes long) from 1996 on a group of 13 year old girls in LA who identify as Riot Grrrls and are ostracized from their school. Their fellow classmates call them "dirty girls" (since they don't style their hair/wear make-up/buy into traditional feminine markers). It's really interesting since it's depicting the firsthand experience of young feminists who go against the norm; one of the girls is only in eighth grade. It even highlights their very personal zine...and then it shows their classmates and especially upperclassman at the same school talking trash about the girls. They're very cruel in a way that is definitely reminiscent of the high school experience, not in that extreme way that you see in television where the students form elaborate plots in order to torture fellow students, but in the more normal verbal barrage of animosity most teenagers experience at one point or another. There's one moment in the film where an older student says, "they're just thirteen." Unfortunately, none of the highly opinionated upperclassmen seem to take age into consideration and continue to berate the girls to the video camera. Now we can look at what the "Dirty Girls" are referencing--the Riot Grrrl movement but also violence against women, racism, homophobia--and realize how ignorant the upperclassman are in comparison. Anyway, the documentary really resonated with me, outside of feminism and larger social issues just the cruelty of kids towards each other and that struggle to find your voice. And while the Riot Grrrl movement isn't above critique itself, I find little criticize in young women struggling to learn and advocate for better awareness of various issues. There's an update on the so-called Dirty Girls here and thankfully they seem to have navigated into the waters of adulthood with grace and dignity.
Aside from all the more pertinent matters of the documentary it also features a track from a young Liz Phair titled Batmobile. That tune is just running around in my head on repeat and it seemed a suitable time to bring out this Japanese Batman shirt. (Side note: I really love clothes with Japanese writing, although this is in katakana since it's a foreign word and I find katakana nearly impossible to read, so it'd be much more preferable to wear clothes with hiragana/kanji...) Further kismet for this post: an appropriately heavily mechanized vehicle. This old tank is just hanging out by the side of the road in front of a Veterans Of Foreign Wars Affairs building. It was obviously too interesting to just pass by without snapping a few photographs. It really makes the perfect setting for my tee though doesn't it?
Outfit details:
UO bomber
Batman tee
thrifted skirt (similar here)
1. Omg I just watched that the other day, too, and felt the same inspirational feelings. Those kids are amazing and it's really awesome to see them grown up as strong, independent, successful women. I feel second hand pride. :') Thanks for linking to the Vice article!
2. I thought you just got yourself a tank haha that'd be...well, hard to place. By the way, ARE YOU CRAZY?! Katakana are definitely easier to read compared to kanji! I mean, come on!
3. OMG! i'm in love with the oxford shoes :D!
4. I need your shoes in my life!
5. @Bivisyani Questibrilia but once you read katakana then you have to figure out what word it is and sometimes it's a French word or something which means I still have no idea what it is! When I actually can translate kanji I translate it to an English meaning, but katakana you have to sound it out and then figure it out all over again...
6. So much awesome in this outfit...and the batman shirt just made it more awesome!

abstract: 'A novel function for modified gravity is proposed, $f(R, T)=R+\lambda R^2+2\beta\ln(T)$, with constants $\lambda$ and $\beta$, scalar curvature $R$, and the trace of stress energy tensor $T$, satisfying $T=\rho-3p>0$. Subsequently, two equations of state (EoS) parameters, namely $\omega$ and a parametric form of the Hubble parameter $H$, are employed in order to study the accelerated expansion and initial cosmological bounce of the corresponding universe. Hubble telescope experimental data for redshift $z$ within the range $0.07\leq z \leq 2.34$ are used to compare the theoretical and observational values of the Hubble parameter. Moreover, it is observed that all the energy conditions are fulfilled within a neighborhood of the bouncing point $t=0$, what shows that the necessary condition for violation of the null energy condition, within a neighborhood of the bouncing point in general relativity, could be avoided by modifying the theory in a reasonable way. Furthermore, a large amount of negative pressure is found, which helps to understand the late time accelerated expansion phase of the universe.'

Introduction
============
At the end of the past century, the accelerated expansion of our universe was discovered by different cosmological surveys [@Riess; @Perlmutter; @Perlmutter1]. This finding was considered as one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century. Strenuous research has been going on since then, on this subject; however, the cause of this acceleration still remains unclear. New theories and modifications of the general theory of relativity have been suggested to explain the cosmic acceleration. In particular, two alternative possibilities have been intensively studied: either the universe contains an enormous amount of dark energy or the theory of general relativity breaks down at cosmological scales[@Frieman].
The general theory of relativity can be modified in many different ways [@Tsujikawa; @Capozziello; @Nojiri; @Berti; @Nojiri:2017ncd]. A comprehensive review on several modifications of general relativity and their cosmological consequences over the past few decades has been presented in [@Clifton]. The scalar–tensor theories of gravity are well studied modified theories of gravity, in the literature, which arise in the form of dimensionally reduced effective theories of higher dimensional theories [@Bergmann; @Nordtvedt]. Fourth-order theories of gravity generalize the action with the replacement of the scalar curvature, $R$, in the Einstein gravitational action by an arbitrary function, $f(R)$, with $R$ remaining the leading order contribution to $f(R)$ and are referred to as $f(R)$ theories of gravity [@Schmidt; @Sotiriou; @Felice]. These modified theories of gravity have gained ample consideration for its capability to elucidate the accelerated expansion of the universe [@Buchdahl]. In the early 1980s, Starobinsky [@Star] discussed a most simple $f(R)$ model, by taking $f(R)=R+\alpha R^2$, with $\alpha>0$, which is considered today as representing the first ever found inflationary scenario for the universe (and one of the most natural and successful). The scenario to unify inflation with dark energy in a consistent way was proposed in [@Nojiri:2003ft]. A simplification of $f(R)$ gravity suggested in [@Bertolami] integrates an unambiguous coupling between the matter Lagrangian and an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature, which leads to an extra force in the geodesic equation of a perfect fluid. The description of cosmic acceleration by the modification of gravity at small curvature described by higher order differential equations may suffer violent instabilities [@Dolgov]. Subsequently, it is shown that this extra force may provide a justification for the accelerated expansion of the universe [@Nojiris; @Bertolami1; @Bamba]. The dynamical behavior of the matter and dark energy effects have been obtained, within extended theories of gravity, in [@Nojiri001; @Shirasaki; @Capozziello001; @Rodrigues01]. Apart from that, recently many authors have studied the dynamics of cosmological models in $f(R)$ gravity from various directions[@Capozziello91; @Godani01; @Bombacigno21; @Sbis; @Chen; @Elizalde26; @Elizalde25; @Astashenok1; @Miranda; @Nascimento; @Odintsov20; @Elizalde:2004mq; @Cognola:2006eg; @Capozziello:2005pa; @Elizalde:2008pv; @Odintsov1; @Nojiri56; @Parth; @Samanta19; @Godani19]. Unsurprisingly, however, a viable $f(R)$ theory must fulfill very strict constraints. For example, solar system tests have ruled out a good deal of the $f(R)$ models suggested so far [@Chiba]. Nevertheless, a number of realistic consistent $f(R)$ gravity models which pass the solar tests were proposed in [@Cognola:2007zu; @Nojiri:2007cq; @Nojiri21].\
Further, modified Gauss-Bonnet (GB) gravity is an another theory of gravitation which is also called as $f(G)$ theory of gravity, where $f(G)$ is a general function of GB invariant $G$ [@Nojiri2005]. A modification of GB theory is $f(G, T)$ gravity, which includes the matter contribution through the trace of the stress-energy tensor $T$ [@Sharif1]. This theory is used to find the exact solutions and compute the physical quantities in the context of an anisotropic model [@Shamir]. This theory has been investigated in several other aspects [@Sharif2; @Shamir1; @Sharif3]. Apart from these, the class of $f(R, T)$ theories have gained much attention to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe [@harko]. In these theories the matter term is included in the gravitational action, in which the gravitational Lagrangian density is an arbitrary function of both $R$ and $T$. The random requirement on $T$ embodies the conceivable contributions from both non-minimal coupling and unambiguous $T$ terms.\
Many functional forms of $f(R, T)$ models have been studied for the derivation of cosmological dynamics in different contexts. The split-up case, $f(R, T)=f_1(R)+f_2(T)$, has received a lot of attention because it is simple and one can explore the contribution from $R$ without specifying $f_2(T)$ and, similarly, the contribution from $T$ without specifying $f_1(R)$. Reconstruction of $f(R, T)$ gravity in such separable theories is studied in [@Houndjo1]. A non-equilibrium picture of thermodynamics at the apparent horizon of the (FLRW) universe was discussed in [@Sharif01]. Subsequently, many authors have been studying in depth this particular form of $f(R, T)=f_1(R)+f_2(T)$, to match different aspects of the cosmological dynamics with observations [@Jamil1; @Alvarenga01; @Santos1; @Samanta; @Shabani; @Naidu; @Samanta3; @Chandel; @Samanta1; @Shabani001; @Samanta2; @Moraes01; @Noureen; @Farasat; @Mirza; @Correa1; @Ramesh; @Moraes0001; @Moraes9; @Zaregonbadi; @Rahaman1; @Mishra; @Yousaf; @Samanta5; @Godani1; @Elizalde01; @Aditya; @Elizalde; @Ordines]. Bouncing cosmology in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity have been studied in [@Singh] by defining a particular form of the Hubble parameter in a flat, homogeneous and isotropic model.\
The motivation of this paper is to study a simple and very interesting form of $f(R, T)$ gravity model, indeed a new functional form, defined as $f(R, T)=R+\lambda R^2+2\beta\ln(T)$, where $\lambda$, $\beta$ are constant and $T=\rho-3p>0$. From the above choice of $f(R, T)$ model, the term $\rho-3p$ must be positive, for the function $f(R, T)$ to be well defined. Therefore, the constraint $\rho-3p>0$ is mandatory. Subsequently, we will be able to affirm that $\rho+3p>0$, provided $p>0$; now, if we are able to show in what follows that $\rho >0$, then all energy conditions, i.e., the Null Energy Condition (NEC), the Weak Energy Condition (WEC), and the Strong Energy Condition (SEC), will be satisfied; and consequently, we will be able to assure that our model does not contain any exotic type of matter, for this particular choice of the $f(R, T)$ function.
In this paper, we use the natural system of units $G=c=1$.
The background of $f(R, T)$ gravity
===================================
The $f(R, T)$ theory was first introduced, in 2011, by Harko et al. [@harko]. These authors extended standard general theory of relativity by modifying the gravitational Lagrangian. The gravitational action in this theory is given by $$\label{action2}
S=S_G + S_m=\dfrac{1}{16\pi}\int f(R,T)\sqrt{-g}d^4x +\int \sqrt{-g}\mathcal{L} d^4x,$$ where $f(R, T)$ is taken to be an arbitrary function of $R$ and $T$. Here, $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy momentum tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$. The matter Lagrangian density is denoted by $\mathcal{L}$ and the energy momentum tensor is defined in terms of the matter action as follows [@Landau]: $$\label{}
T_{\mu\nu}=-\frac{2\delta (\sqrt{-g}\mathcal{L})}{\sqrt{-g}\delta g^{\mu\nu}},$$ which yields $$\label{}
T_{\mu\nu}=g_{\mu\nu}\mathcal{L}-2\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial g^{\mu\nu}}.$$ The trace $T$ is defined as $T=g^{\mu\nu}T_{\mu\nu}$. Let us define the variation of $T$ with respect to the metric tensor as $$\label{}
\frac{\delta (g^{\alpha\beta}T_{\alpha\beta})}{\delta g^{\mu\nu}}=T_{\mu\nu}+\Theta_{\mu\nu},$$ where $\Theta_{\mu\nu}=g^{\alpha\beta}\frac{\delta T_{\alpha\beta}}{\delta g^{\mu\nu}}$. Varying the action (\[action2\]) with respect to the metric tensor $g^{\mu\nu}$, $$\label{frt}
f_R(R,T)R_{\mu\nu} -\frac{1}{2}f(R,T)g_{\mu\nu} + (g_{\mu\nu}
\square
-\triangledown_\mu\triangledown_\nu)f_R(R,T)=8\pi T_{\mu\nu} -f_T(R, T)T_{\mu\nu}- f_T(R,T) \Theta_{\mu\nu},$$ where $f_R(R,T) \equiv \dfrac{\partial f(R, T)}{\partial R}$ and $ f_T(R,T) \equiv \dfrac{\partial f(R,T)}{\partial T}.$ Note that, if we take $f(R, T)=R$ and $f(R, T)=f(R)$, then the equations become the Einstein field equations of general relativity and $f(R)$ gravity, respectively. In the present work, we assume that the stress-energy tensor is defined as $$\label{energy}
T_{\mu\nu}=(p+\rho)u_\mu u_\nu -p g_{\mu\nu},$$ and the matter Lagrangian can be taken as $\mathcal{L}=-p$. The four velocity $u_{\mu}$ satisfies the conditions $u_{\mu}u^{\mu}=1$ and $u^{\mu}\triangledown_{\nu}u_{\mu}=0$. If the matter source is a perfect fluid, then $\Theta_{\mu\nu}=-2T_{\mu\nu}-pg_{\mu\nu}$.
In this study, we shall consider $f(R, T)=f(R)+2f(T)$, where $f(R)$ is a function of $R$ and $f(T)$ is a function of the trace of the energy momentum tensor, i.e. $T=\rho-3p$.
$f(R, T)=R+\lambda R^2+2\beta\ln(T)$ and field equations
========================================================
In this paper, the novel $f(R, T)$ function is defined as $$\label{newfunc}
f(R, T)=R+\lambda R^2+2\beta\ln(T),$$ where $\lambda$, $\beta$ are constants and $T=\rho-3p>0$. The dimensions of $\lambda$ and $\beta$ are \[Time\]$^{2}$ and \[Time\]$^{-2}$, respectively. The units of $\lambda$ and $\beta$ are taken as sec$^{2}$ and sec$^{-2}$.
From the above choice of $f(R, T)$, we come to know that $\rho-3p>0$, otherwise the function $f(R, T)$ would not be well defined. Therefore, $\rho-3p>0$ is mandatory. Subsequently, we can say that $\rho+3p>0$, provided $p>0$. Now, if we are able to show that $\rho >0$, then all energy conditions will be satisfied, namely the Null Energy Condition (NEC), the Weak Energy Condition (WEC), and the Strong Energy Condition (SEC). Consequently, we will be able to say that our model does not contain any exotic type of matter for this particular choice of the $f(R, T)$ function. The spacetime of the model is assumed to be the flat Fiedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, which is defined as $$\label{metric}
ds^2=dt^2-a^2(t)(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2).$$ Using Eqs. , and in the field equation , the explicit form of the field equations are obtained as $$\label{e1}
3\left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2 -\frac{18\lambda}{a^4}[\ddot{a}^2a^2+2\dot{a}\dddot{a}a^2-5\dot{a}^4+2a\dot{a}^2\ddot{a}]=8\pi\rho+2\beta\frac{\rho+p}{\rho-3p}-\beta\ln(\rho-3p)$$ and $$\label{e2}
\frac{2\ddot{a}}{a}+\left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2-\frac{6\lambda}{a^4}\Big[5\dot{a}^4-12a\dot{a}^2\ddot{a}+a^2\ddot{a}^2+4a^2\dot{a}\dddot{a}+2a^3\ddddot{a}\Big]=-8\pi p-\beta\ln(\rho-3p),$$ where the overhead dot denotes the derivative with respect to time ‘t’.
By taking $\lambda=0$, the field equations and reduce to $$\label{f1}
3\left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2=8\pi \rho +\frac{2\beta (\rho+p)}{\rho-3p}-\beta \ln (\rho-3p),$$ $$\label{f2}
\frac{2\ddot{a}}{a}+\left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2=-\beta\ln (\rho-3p)-8\pi p.$$ The covariant divergence of implies $$\label{diverg}
\triangledown^{\mu}T_{\mu\nu}=\frac{f_{T}(R,T)}{8\pi-f_{T}(R,T)}\Bigg[(T_{\mu\nu}+\Theta_{\mu\nu})\triangledown^{\mu}\ln f_{T}(R,T) +\triangledown^{\mu}\Theta_{\mu\nu}-\frac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}\triangledown^{\mu}T\Bigg],$$ which is not equal to zero. It happens due to the presence of higher order derivatives of the energy-momentum tensor in the field equations. Hence the theory might be plagued by divergences at astrophysical scales. It looks to be a problem with some other higher order derivatives theories as well that contain higher order terms of energy-momentum tensor. Nevertheless, to deal this problem, one can put some constraints to Eq. to obtain standard conservation equation[@Sharif1].
Model investigations
====================
Nowadays, the bouncing problem is one of the fascinating parts of the study of cosmological dynamics in modified gravity, because the big bang singularity could be avoided by a big bounce[@Molina; @Cai]. The indication of the bouncing universe is: the size of the scale factor is contracted to a finite volume, not necessarily zero, and then blows up. Subsequently, it delivers a conceivable solution to the singularity problem of the standard big bang model. To become a bounce, there must be some finite point of time at which the size of the universe attains minimum. Let us take this time to be $t=t_0$. As per the fundamental rule of differential calculus, a function $`f'$ attains minimum at say $t=t_0$, provided $f$ satisfies $\dot{f}(t_0)=0$ and $\ddot{f}(t_0)>0$. Hence, the behavior of the scale factor at $t_0$ must be $\dot{a}(t_0)=0$ and $\ddot{a}(t_0)>0$. Precisely we can say that, if $t_0$ is a bounce point, then the scale factor $a(t)$ decreases, i.e. $\dot{a}(t)<0$, for $t<t_0$ and the scale factor $a(t)$ increases, i.e. $\dot{a}(t)>0$, for $t>t_0$, locally. Equivalently in the bouncing model the hubble parameter $H$ runs across zero from $H<0$ to $H>0$ and $H=0$ at the bouncing point. Subsequently, for bouncing problem, we must required $a(t)>a(t_0)$ for $t\ne t_0$ locally. In addition to that, the violation of the Null Energy Condition (NEC) is required for a period of time inside the neighbourhood of the bounce point in general relativity within the frame-work of spatially flat 4-dimensional FLRW model. Furthermore, the EoS parameter $\omega$ of the matter content present in the universe must experience a phase switch from $\omega<-1$ to $\omega>-1$, to enter into the hot big bang age after the bounce[@Molina; @Cai]. Note that bounces in $f(R)$ gravity were investigated in[@Odintsov:2015uca; @Odintsov:2015zua; @Odintsov:2015zza; @Odintsov:2015ynk].
Cai et al. [@Cai] studied a bouncing universe filled with Quintom matter which is described by the EoS $w(t)=-r-\frac{s}{t^2}$, where $r$ and $s$ are the parameters with $r<1$ and $s>0$. Here, we are motivated by their work and defined EoS of two different types, which represent Quintom matter, to study the bouncing scenarios of the universe in modified gravity. The intention of this section is to study the various cosmological dynamics under bouncing situations by defining two new equation of state (EoS) parameters and one new prametrized form of the Hubble parameter.
Let us start with a study on the possibility of obtaining the bouncing solution described by the following EoS: $$\label{eos1}
\omega(t)=-\frac{k\ln(t+\epsilon)}{t}-1,$$ where $\epsilon$ is very small and $k$ is any arbitrary constant. We see from Eq. that $\omega$ varies from negative infinity at $t=0$ to the cosmological constant at $t=1-\epsilon$, and crosses this boundary, eventually it comes back to again cosmological constant for $t\to\infty$.
To study the bouncing solution of cosmological models, we define one more EoS as follows: $$\label{eos2}
\omega(t)=\frac{r}{\ln t}-s,$$ where $r$ and $s$ are parameters, we require $r<0$ and $s>0$. We see from Eq. that $\omega$ varies from negative at $t=0$ to the cosmological constant at $t=e^{\frac{r}{s-1}}$, and crosses this boundary, eventually it comes back to again cosmological constant for $t\to\infty$ and $s=1$.
Now, we would like to define the parametric form of the Hubble parameter $H$ that describes the expansion of the universe and helps us to accomplish some remarkable bouncing solutions. We parametrize the functional form of the Hubble parameter, which is defined as $$\label{h1}
H(t)=\alpha\sin(\xi t)h(t),$$ where $\xi$ and $\alpha$ are arbitrary constants, and $h(t)$ is any smooth function. Looking at the novel proposed form of the Hubble parameter, we can observe that the trigonometric function $\sin(kt)$ vanishes at $t=0, \frac{\pi}{k}, \frac{2\pi}{k}, \cdots, \frac{n\pi}{k}$, implying that the scale factor must take a constant value at these points and the second function $h(t)$ should not vanish at those points. Now, we will have to choose $h(t)$, which could be any algebraic, rational, exponential, transcendental, or periodic function, in such a way that it should be smooth and non-vanishing at those points. In our study, we consider a specific form of $h(t)$, which is defined as $$\label{h2}
h(t)=e^{\zeta t},$$ where $\zeta$ is any arbitrary constant. Hence, the complete parametrize form of the Hubble parameter $H(t)$ is as follows: $$\label{h3}
H(t)=\alpha\sin(\xi t)e^{\zeta t}.$$
The evolution of the scale factor $a(t)$ comes out be $$\label{a1}
a=\kappa \exp\left(\alpha\frac{e^{\zeta t}[\zeta\sin(\xi t)-\xi\cos(\xi t)]}{\zeta^2+\xi^2}\right),$$ where $\kappa$ is an integration constant.
From Eqs. and , we observe that the Hubble parameter $H(t)$ vanishes at $t=0, \frac{\pi}{k}, \frac{2\pi}{k}, \ldots, \frac{n\pi}{k}$, so we can choose $t=0$ as one bouncing point. One can see that our solution provides a picture of evolution of the universe with a contracting phase for $t<0$, and then bouncing at $t=0$ to the expanding phase for $t>0$.
We would like to investigate the model defined in the preceding section for two different cases:\
**Case I:** $\omega(t)=-\frac{k\ln(t+\epsilon)}{t}-1$.\

Hubble parameter versus redshift
================================
In this section, a differential equation for the Hubble parameter with respect to the redshift is obtained. The values of the parameters present in the differential equation are estimated using the $\chi^2$ test. Then, the differential equation is solved and theoretical values for the Hubble parameter are calculated. Further, the theoretical and observational values of the Hubble parameter are compared.\
Differentiating with respect to $t$, $$\label{1}
\frac{dH}{dt}=\alpha e^{\zeta t}(\xi\cos \xi t+\zeta\sin \xi t).$$ From Eq. and using the relation $1+z=\frac{a_0}{a}$, we have obtained $$\label{2}
(1+z)H(z)\frac{dH(z)}{dz}+\zeta H(z)=-\alpha\xi e^{\zeta t}\cos \xi t.$$ Now, using Eqns. and , we get $$\label{H}
(1+z)H(z)\frac{dH(z)}{dz}+2\zeta H(z)+(\xi^2+\zeta^2)\ln(1+z)=0.$$
The differential equation contains two parameters, $\zeta$ and $\xi$. The values of these parameters are obtained by minimizing $$\chi^2(\zeta,\xi)=\sum_{i=1}^{29}\frac{[H_{th}(\zeta,\xi;z_i)-H_{obs}(z_i)]^2}{\sigma^2_{H(z_i)}},$$ where $H_{th}$ and $H_{obs}$ denote theoretical and observed values of Hubble parameter, respectively and $\sigma_{H(z_i)}$ denotes the standard error for each observed value. The present value of the Hubble parameter is considered as $H_0=67.8$ Km/s/Mpc [@Planck]. A total of 29 observational Hubble parameter data are taken from [@Jimenez; @Simon; @Stern; @Moresco; @Blake; @Zhang; @Moresco1; @Delubac]. On the $\zeta-\xi$ plane, the likelihood contours for $1\sigma$, $2\sigma$ and $3\sigma$ errors are drawn in Fig. (9). The values of the parameters $\zeta$ and $\xi$ are found to be equal to -46 and 1.6 respectively for a minimum value 123.567 of $\chi^2$. For $\zeta=-46$ and $\xi=1.6$, a numerical solution for the non-linear differential equation is obtained and plotted in Fig. (10) with respect to the redshift through a continuous curve. In this figure, the bars correspond to the error between theoretical and observational values of the Hubble parameter. Clearly, it provides a good fit to the experimental Hubble parameter data with $\zeta=-46$ and $\xi=1.6$. Thus, it enhances the importance of the newly defined Hubble parameter for the present model.
Results and discussion
======================
This work has been aimed at studying the cosmological dynamics under a bouncing scenario within the framework of a spatially flat 4-dimensional FLRW model in a $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. The $f(R,T)$ function is defined as $f(R,T)=R+\lambda R^2 +2\beta\ln(T)$, where $\lambda$ and $\beta$ are dimension-full constants and $T=\rho-3p>0$. A parametric form of the Hubble parameter is also proposed as $H(t)=\alpha\sin(\xi t)e^{\zeta t}$, where $\alpha$, $\xi$ and $\zeta$ are arbitrary constants. Subsequently, the scale factor has been obtained as $a(t)=\kappa\exp\Bigg(\alpha\frac{e^{\zeta t}[\zeta\sin(\xi t)-\xi\cos(\xi t)]}{\zeta^2+\xi^2}\Bigg)$, where $\kappa$ is an integration constant. Since $H(t)$ vanishes at $t=0, \frac{\pi}{k}, \frac{2\pi}{k},\ldots, \frac{n\pi}{k}$, the point $t=0$ is chosen as a first bouncing point. The Hubble parameter is plotted in Fig.(1). In the neighborhood of the bouncing point, we can observe a contraction phase for $t<0$, the bounce at $t=0$, and an expansion phase for $t>0$. The scale factor is normalized as $a=1$ at the bouncing point. In Fig. (2), in the neighborhood of the bouncing point the scale factor is shown to decrease, for $t<0$, and to increase, for $t>0$. Thus, the scale factor gets its non-zero and minimum value at $t=0$.\
Moreover, two forms of the EoS parameter are defined. The first form is $\omega(t)=-\frac{k\ln(t+\epsilon)}{t}-1$, where $\epsilon$ is very small and $k$ is an arbitrary constant. It is plotted in Fig. (3) with respect to $t$. As $t$ increases from 0 to $1-\epsilon$, $\omega(t)$ increases from $-\infty$ to $-1$. Further, as $t$ increases from $1-\epsilon$ to 2.72, $\omega(t)$ increases towards -0.0436542, after what it decreases and approaches the value -1 as $t$ tends to infinity, which indicates that the universe is dominated by a cosmological constant at late time. Consequently, the late time accelerated expansion stage of our universe can be naturally realized in this model. The second form of $\omega(t)$ is defined as $\omega(t)=\frac{r}{\ln t}-s$, where $r$ and $s$ are constants, with $r<0$ and $s>0$. It is plotted in Fig. (4) with respect to $t$, where $\omega(t)$ is shown to vary from a negative value at $t=0$ to the cosmological constant at $t=1.00313$.\
Using the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity, the Einstein’s field equations are derived and, using the EoS parameters discussed above, these equations have been solved. The energy density $\rho$, pressure $p$, and the stress energy tensor $T=\rho-3p$ have been calculated. In addition to these, various combinations of $\rho$ and $p$, used in the following energy conditions, have been determined:\
(i) Null energy condition (NEC): NEC $\Leftrightarrow \rho+p\geq 0$.\
(ii) Weak energy condition (WEC): WEC $\Leftrightarrow \rho\geq 0, \rho+p\geq 0$.\
(iii) Strong energy condition (SEC): SEC $\Leftrightarrow \rho+p\geq 0, \rho+3p\geq 0$.\
(iv) Dominant energy condition (DEC): DEC $\Leftrightarrow \rho\geq 0, \rho-|p|\geq 0$.\
For each EoS parameter, the computation is performed in two subcases (a) $\lambda=0$ and (b) $\lambda\neq 0$. Summarizing, we have two cases: Case I: $\omega(t)=-\frac{k\ln(t+\epsilon)}{t}-1$, with subcases: I(a) $\lambda=0$ & I(b) $\lambda\ne 0$, and Case II: $\omega(t)=\frac{r}{\ln t}-s$, with subcases: II(a) $\lambda=0$ & II(b) $\lambda\ne 0$. In Subcases I(a) and I(b), the terms $\rho$, $p$, $\rho+p$, $\rho+3p$, $\rho-|p|$ and $\rho-3p$ are plotted for the variation of $t$ in a neighbourhood of the bouncing point $t=0$, i. e. from 0 to $1-\epsilon$ in Figs. (5) & (6) respectively. Similarly, in Subcases II(a) and II(b), the results are plotted for the variation of $t$ from 0 to 10, in Figs. (7) & (8), respectively. In each subcase, $\rho$, $\rho+p$, $\rho+3p$, $\rho-|p|$ and $\rho-3p$ are found to be positive. The positivity of $\rho-3p$ is necessary for the $f(R,T)$ function to be well defined and the positivity of $\rho$, $\rho+p$, $\rho+3p$ and $\rho-|p|$ implies the absence of exotic matter in a neighborhood of the bouncing point, in our model, i.e. it only admits normal matter, satisfying the energy conditions in a neighborhood of the bouncing point.
Modern measurements of redshift and luminosity distance relations of type Ia supernovae indicate that the expansion of our universe is accelerating. This appears to be in strong disagreement with the standard picture of a matter dominated universe. These observations can be accommodated theoretically by postulating that some form of an exotic matter with negative pressure dominates the present epoch of our universe. This exotic matter has been called Quintessence and behaves like a vacuum field energy with repulsive (anti-gravitational) character arising from the negative pressure. In this paper, for each EoS, the pressure $p$ is found to be negative, i.e. the universe possesses a negative pressure, which could cause the accelerated expansion of the universe [@Kamenshchik]. In short, by defining appropriate forms of the EoS parameter, the Hubble parameter and the $f(R,T)$ function, we have found the existence of a bouncing universe free from exotic matter and having a non-vanishing and minimum scale factor at the bouncing point.\
Conclusions
===========
In this paper, a non-singular bounce in a spatially flat 4-dimensional FLRW model has been explored by working with two EoS parameters and one novel parametric form of the Hubble parameter. Einstein’s field equations have been obtained in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity with a newly proposed $f(R,T)=R+\lambda R^2 +2\beta\ln(T)$ function, where the condition $T=\rho-3p>0$ is required, so that the function $f(R, T)$ is well defined. From Figs. 5(f), 6(f), 7(f), and 8(f), it is observed that the stress energy momentum tensor $T=\rho-3p$ is positive. Hence, it turns out that our new function is well defined and its consistency is justified.
Usually, for general relativity, within the framework of the spatially flat 4-dimensional FLRW model, violation of the Null Energy Condition (NEC) is unavoidable for a period of time inside a neighbourhood of the bounce point [@Molina; @Cai]. However, in the present study, we have obtained that all the energy conditions are satisfied within a neighborhood of the bouncing point, $t=0$. Therefore, we reach here the interesting conclusion that the violation of the NEC is not always a necessary condition in modified gravity theories; at the very least, for the particular form of theory here considered, $f(R,T)=R+\lambda R^2 +2\beta\ln(T)$, it can be avoided.
Moreover, it is interesting to note that pressure is negative within the neighborhood of the bouncing point and, subsequently, it decreases to minus infinity throughout the evolution, which indicates that the universe may evolve indeed to a huge negative pressure stage. This negative pressure helps us to naturally realize the late time accelerated expansion of our universe. In our model, the best fit to the experimental results for the Hubble parameter for different redshifts is determined for these values of the parameters: $\zeta=-46$ and $\xi=1.6$.

Deep VEnous Thrombosis malpractice / Pulmonary Embolism malpractice
A Georgia jury has awarded more than $6 million in medical malpractice / wrongful death case on behalf of a husband and his deceased wife’s estate after she developed blood clots and died shortly after undergoing outpatient knee surgery. The woman had knee pain and went to an orthopedic surgeon who ordered an MRI of the knee. That MRI showed something behind the knee which resulted in the the orthopedic surgeon performing outpatient arthroscopic surgery on the woman. The next day, the woman was found dead at home. An autopsy showed that deep venous thromboids had formed at the site of the surgery, and then traveled to the lung causing a pulmonary embolism. Apparently, the orthopedic surgeon ignored several risk factors that should have indicated that blood clotting could be a problem, such as obesity and birth control pills. A copy of the article regarding the case can be found here.
As an experienced Baltimore, Maryland medical malpractice lawyer, I have successfully handled a large number of pulmonary embolism malpractice cases. There are clear guidelines from a variety of professional medical organizations, such as the American College of Chest Physicians, which state who should be considered at risk for deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and what should be done to prevent it. Every patient who is undergoing surgery under anesthesia or who is unable to move around on their own should be evaluated for the risk of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It is a preventable condition in this day and age.

"It fits a program goal to become the healthiest and most well-conditioned
football team in America...It may not lead to a national championship this
season or even 12 wins, but it might make the difference in a fourth-quarter
play — and that could make all the difference to getting there
someday."
Yes because it was 4th quarter plays that stopped BYU
from their Quest. Not the talent on the other side (TCU and Utah).
Next time you see highlights of USC and Bama see if it's about
"health and conditioning" or the NFL talent level on the field.
How about getting players like Steve Young back into the program? Rudy can
only get you so far.
But thats so ancient history. How about we consider this
hypothetical... Lets say you are playing a team that will go into history last
year as a 4-8 team, and you find yourself tied at the end of regulation. Would
you rather have the team in better condition, or not?
Thankfully Bronco sees more than just football players in these young men. She
sees future husbands, fathers, church leaders, family providers, and solid
citizens of our country. That's why he invests so much in their character
as well as their talent and why they stay so loyal through the years to the
program and to him. Thanks, Bronco!
I'm glad LaVell waited until he won the National Championship before he
wrote a book. I'm really interested in what BM is doing to beat San Jose
State, Idaho, New Mexico St and UTEP in the bowl game. I didn't see Dan
the Man on the sidelines roaming around during the 54-10 debacle. They looked
gassed in the 2nd quarter chasing Utes into the end zone.
Addressing Utelolgy's comments: Obviously a team needs to be as well
conditioned as possible. Nobody is touting that as a panacea, however. It is
more like one of those givens that make up the structure of the program. If you
see room for improvement, you improve. Bronco did.
Better
conditioning cannot replace talent, only improve it. Now, how would you propose
BYU get NFL caliber talent on the field in any way that doesn't diminish
the honor code (which isn't going to happen)? Sometimes they think they
know what they have from the beginning, such as Jake Heaps and Ofa Moetau and
their five stars - neither lasted. They certainly did not know what they had
with Steve Young. He was #8 on the QB depth chart.
The only way BYU
can function given its immediate handicaps (honor code, remote location) is to
make the best of what it can get. But they will always working with unknowns
such as Cody Hoffman (recruited by Sac State and noone else). Kyle van Noy was
well respected coming out of high school, but I don't remember Alabama or
USC breaking down his door. Such are the realities.
I have a perspective as a Ute fan and I am not a teenager either. Yes, talent is
what it is, and being the best you can be is what anybody would want.
BYU avoided hitting in camp again. Will it payoff? The Cougars looked physical
against Washington State last week. If they stay healthy and are fresher in the
4th quarter (well conditioned), then they will be tough to beat.
I
am confident in my Utes but Utah State and BYU look formidable the next two
weeks.
If BYU can get on a roll here in September, they could have a
special season. Boise State is beatable this year. The big question is when BYU
hits the road back to back against Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. I don't see
BYU going 2-0 for that stretch.
Anyway, week 3 is almost here.
September doesn't have the November feel but the game will hopefully be a
classic. I am looking forward to the not so 'Holy War' nonetheless. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'cee0c0b09bae3c627d50e5e07c08974b3d46595de5eb81cb9cd07c738529cbbb'} |
How to create or build an API Program for Digital Business
• APIs contributing to Digital Transformation
In the past decade, digital transformation has affected every enterprise. Businesses can thrive without any fear of digital predators. Altimeter, a trend analyst, said, “The digital transformation aligns business models and technologies and enhances customers’ experience in the product lifecycle, i.e. from the purchase of a product to its maintenance.” But what is the purpose of realigning business models? Every step is taken towards the excellence of digital operations. The efficiency of any digital operator depends on its ability to use tools and analytics. Why is the main focus on alignment? By aligning them, customers can get the best digital experience that they would have dreamt of. Similarly, APIs are contributing their significant efforts towards digital platforms. Let’s get more into them for better insight. They are tools, protocols, and routines used for creating software. The components of a programming user interface (GUI) and their working are set by APIs.
• Benefits of APIs
1. Provide Multi-touch experience to customers.
2. Enhance the operational efficiency of any company.
3. Generate revenue and value through an ecosystem.
APIs are key drivers or elements of digital transformation. How can one utilize such programs? Clients implement or utilize API management programs for adopting cloud architecture. Technologies can be independently used for market research.
• Current Marketplace
Here are some trends in the existing marketplace.
1. Meeting Customers’ Expectations: Amazon, Apple, Zappos and are known for their fast services.
2. Continuity: Digital channels are expected to meet customers’ demand for choices, access, speed, and agility.
3. Keeping up with the pace: Slow responses break the processes; upgraded technologies minimize barriers at entries and enhance speed.
4. Data Utilization: The utilization of data is necessary to turn complex information into productive ones.
Understand the role of APIs to meet the everchanging demands for the current market. They understand customers’ behaviors by integrating disparate technologies. They reside between areas and enhance mutual capability.
• Varieties of APIs
There are four varieties of APIs that have different roles. Check out the following:
1. Product APIs: Enhance product values by utilizing ecosystems.
2. Open-web APIs: Promote market research from an innovation standpoint.
3. Business-to-business APIs: Enhance business processes.
4. Internal APIs: Improve the agility and efficiency of any organization.
Thus, linking technologies to digital business becomes easy.
• Justifying APIs
Why should businesses think about APIs? Below are some compelling reasons that validate the use of them across every platform.
1. A huge scope of profit
2. Chances of Collaboration.
3. Interaction between customers and suppliers for better business.
4. New channels can be easily created for better opportunities.
5. Improves capitalization.
6. Encourage companies to invest in innovation.
7. Promotes Agility.
8. Promotes innovation.
9. Enhances efficiency.
10. Helps in aligning business goals with the structure.
11. Improves backend services. Read more about APIs
• How APIs matter to Corporate Executives
1. APIs can be directly implemented without any second thought.
2. It becomes easy to align innovation and revenue streams.
3. New channels are available for customers.
• Creating an API Strategy
Here are some questions to answer while creating a strategy for APIs. Question 1 – What should be the API interface – public or private? Answer – Businesses using APIs can derive unique values for any type of group. However, organizations can either keep API strategies private or public. Question 2 – How can APIs promote innovation? Answer – APIs are the foundation of new partnerships. Companies can get support by leveraging tools and technologies. Question 3 – How can APIs access business processes? Answer – Accessibility is a major concern for any type of API management program. API users will communicate and give constant feedback. Question 4 – What are the important steps needed to take for creating an efficient API strategy? Answer – Processes should be streamlined to provide adequate governance. Stakeholders must think of engagement and alignment. The above steps are essential to quickly improve innovation and API programs

Why should I do a Pure Nectar cleanse?
Pure Nectar’s juice cleanse programs were especially crafted according to an average Filipino’s diet. The total number of calorie intake per day per set is approximately 1,200. The flavors were chosen and scheduled during specified times throughout the day, and was patterned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine’s principles of detoxification. The juice cleanse also adheres to the American Heart Association guidelines to consume a ‘rainbow’ of colored raw fruits and vegetables in a day.
This cleanse provides the body with the various micronutrients, antioxidants and phytonutrients that may ultimately help battle chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Our cleanses nourish your body that you can incorporate in your every day life, setting you up for success long after your cleanse is over. Delicious, nourishing and satisfying. Powerful and effective, yet simple and enjoyable!
What are the benefits of doing a Pure Nectar Juice Cleanse?
•Detoxification, Cellular Rejuvenation, Increased energy, Mental Clarity, Improved Digestion, Elevated Mood, Reduced Inflammation, Wellness Jumpstart, Boosted Immunity, Improved Sleep, Decreased anxiety, Age Prevention, Weight Loss, and Reduced Body Fat.
How should I prepare for a juice cleanse?
Take a light high fiber meal the night before performing the juice cleanse. This should contain whole fruits, vegetables, psyllium, barley, oatmeal, quinoa, unpolished rice and/or fish for viand. It is also a must to consume a minimum of 8 glasses of water throughout the day.
How do I know what juice to drink?
A juicing guide will be provided along with your package. If you cannot strictly follow the schedule, you may follow the hourly interval provided.
Can I drink coffee during my Pure Nectar juice cleanse?
It is highly recommended to avoid and/or abstain from all kinds of stimulants during the juice cleanse. This includes coffee, tea, alcohol or cigarettes.
Can I exercise while I’m doing a Pure Nectar juice cleanse?
Refrain from exercising during the juice cleanse because you are consuming just enough calories to get you through the day.
Can I eat food while I’m doing a Pure Nectar juice cleanse?
It is recommended to withhold all solid foods during the juice cleanse for maximum benefits. If it is unavoidable, however, a minimum amount of steamed, broiled, boiled or raw vegetables and/or fish is acceptable.
Can I smoke while I am on a Pure Nectar cleanse?
Go back and think about why you are choosing to do a juice cleanse! Your body needs a break from all the toxins and nicotine should definitely be one of them.
I have a disease (hypertension, diabetes, cancer or others), can I perform a juice cleanse?
Please consult your physician, doctor, or other qualified health professional before beginning any nutritional programs.
What should my post-cleanse diet be after my juice cleanse?
It is a must to be diligent in making good food choices coming off a juice cleanse. It is very likely for the body to crave and think of indulging on processed and fried foods, but try to see it as an opportunity to continue the detoxification process. The digestive system is extremely delicate after juice cleansing since the body has been on a hiatus - focusing solely on pushing toxins and healing tissues. Avoid high-fat, high-sugar, hard-to-digest foods that might hinder the progress you have made while cleansing. Stick to plant-based, unprocessed, vegetable-rich, whole foods (boiled, broiled, or baked) for the next three days to help promote the clearance of toxins. This will not only maximize the effectiveness of the cleanse, but it will also help you jumpstart on a healthier, stronger, and a more vibrant version of yourself!
What are things that I should watch out for during my juice cleanse?
Most people may experience some sort of detoxification reaction such as headache, fatigue, bad breath, body odor, diarrhea or mouth sores. This state is commonly known as a healing crisis, and is very normal. Unless the symptoms are very severe, continue the juice cleanse. For severe reactions, however, please consult a medical professional.
Can I perform a Pure Nectar juice cleanse if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There are several risks involved detoxing during pregnancy and while nursing.
How often can I do a Pure Nectar juice cleanse?
This is a personal decision – most people cleanse when they feel that their body needs to be cleansed from all the toxins, or simply a jumpstart to wellness.
Can I create my own cleanse?
The Pure Nectar juice cleanse was carefully planned by our in-house doctors and partner nutritionists for optimum results. It was patterned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine’s principles of detoxification. You have the freedom to create your own program, but we do not guarantee that it will provide the same results.
*Please note that all discounts are exclusive to the set packages.
There are too many free Kefir bottles. Do I have to drink all during the cleanse?
Not necessarily. You may only consume as recommended in the juicing guide. The remaining bottles may be consumed the following days after the juice cleanse. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '7', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9237234592437744}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '95861', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VL45SOK7GTYB7XN5W5ICORCOYMX4XGVV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:77564e52-bfc2-406f-839e-273d39f5a1ec>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 12, 6, 16, 32, 30), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.227.38.32', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:H42FCLBJVU2FAF3SD2AOFH7XTCEH5NEF', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:098381fc-9215-46bb-850a-d621de307eae>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://purenectar.co/collections/juice-cleanse-sets/products/2-day-juice-cleanse-set-cellular-renewal', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:56691834-6b9b-4926-af73-55c5d16bc5ae>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '952', 'url': 'https://purenectar.co/collections/juice-cleanse-sets/products/2-day-juice-cleanse-set-cellular-renewal', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-206.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.049604594707489014', 'original_id': 'cb3d93af293f72334f94d3fa34dae3de03c8778b24e738aa49b43f7638e2b0b5'} |

Podcast Transcript:
Stephan Livera:
Matt, welcome to the show.
Matt D’Souza:
Hey, thank you for having me.
Stephan Livera:
So, Matt, I know you’ve done some pretty cool work here with this recent Bitcoin Halving and mining analysis research report just recently released and that is from 17th of March, 2020. So but let’s start with a little bit about you and what is Blockware solutions and how did you get into Bitcoin mining?
Matt D’Souza:
Yeah, that’s a great question. It was, you know, I really started investing in this space in 2015 and 2016. I launched a digital currency hedge fund hedge fund called blockchain opportunity fund in 2017 and it was far more Ethereum focused, far more web 3.0 focused. And then probably around quarter three of 2017, a friend of mine had brought up these arbitrages in the mining space and kind of showed how there’s, there’s a lot of friction between the U.S. And China. And that’s really how we launched blocker solutions as hardware brokers. So what’s critical is that allowed me to see how much infrastructure was getting spent around the world for Bitcoin mining rigs. You know, people discuss how there’s ICOs and other things getting the spending on web applications for Ethereum and web 3.0. The amount of spending in the Bitcoin network, the network effects that’s created dwarfs web 3.0 and, everything else in blockchain, you have billions of dollars worth of infrastructure, electricity spending, facilities spending to secure the Bitcoin network.
Matt D’Souza:
That’s a network effect. That’s, power. And that allowed me to start to deeply research Bitcoin and understand it more. And the fund actually did a significant pivot in 2018 and, and we’ve had more of a investment thesis in Bitcoin. We still believe in web 3.0, but there’s been a pivot due to that. I don’t understand it. And now Blockware solutions, we’ve grown significantly. You know, got, we were healthy through 2018 we had a great year in 2019 quarter 1 in 2020 is our best quarter. So over the past 12 months, we’ve probably sold about 30,000, 86 to the U.S. market, placed about 25 megawatts worth of miners in hosting facilities. And in quarter four of 2019, I launched another fund. It’s a Bitcoin mining fund with my partner Mike Stelzner. It’s called Blockware mining or mining in Kentucky. We’re running about 180 Petahash and it’s a three prong strategy.
Matt D’Souza:
We self mine, we resell our mining rigs, we allow miners to mine in our facility. And what we’re doing is we’re looking to bring as much hash to the US as possible and we’re making it really easy for us miners to mine in the U.S. And do it economic. We’re getting miners all in costs about 5.8 cents. They don’t have to wait two months or two and a half months for lead times on mining rigs. And they have an exceptional group of technologists that are managing these units. This group, they, were some of the first miners on Zcash, Sia coin. And, dash they controlled over 10% of the network there. They’re called Naveah exceptional technologists. Some of them had been mining since 2011, 2011. So that’s what we’re marrying together to really give US miners a competitive advantage in this space. Cause mine is just all about survivability and that’s what we’re bringing. So miners don’t pay for cap ex and they only have their electricity rate. They get to maximize their hash. And that’s what’s gonna make them successful.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. And so the interesting thing there is that it may seem at first glance that US mining is not as competitive as other countries around the world. Why, do people have that view? And then in your view, why is that not necessarily right?
Matt D’Souza:
Yeah, it’s actually very inaccurate. I mean it’s, what we’re very good at is strategy and models. When you have other minds in the world, they may be paying a hundred, 150,000 per megawatt to pay for their transformers electrical infrastructure. They’re building and then they’re getting maybe 3.2 cents. So when you model all of that out and you put in the cap ex, amortize it 5.8 cents without having to pay for a facility and all that infrastructure and just buying mining rigs in and just deploying cash to Terahash, that’s like the equivalent of of 3.6 cents electricity and paying 150,000 per megawatt in build out. So it’s two different models. You can elect to deploy to just mining rigs and get a rate of about 5.8 and that’s, and we believe that’s significantly better. You’re maximizing your hash or you especially cause you’re getting in the most efficient technology. That’s really what’s critical. The fact that these S17 pluses are so efficient, they’re so efficient where the impact of electricity is decreased. If you’re in our report, we show that one a table. How a miner with the recent electricity run in the old generation, S9 has a higher break even price than a miner running 7.5 cents electricity running the next generation S17.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. That’s a really interesting analysis. And let’s break into that. I think let’s start though with the market participants though. So as you spell out in your report, you spell out that the three that you assess, there are investment funds, the HODLers and then the miners. So can you just break some of those down? How are you viewing them from a mining and a Bitcoin price impact point of view?
Matt D’Souza:
If you’re, anyone who’s involved in Bitcoin for the most part is pretty bullish. I mean, all these investment funds and HODLers, they’re just about all alone only, and they have high conviction, but the thing is they could buy their Bitcoin and in two weeks they could, they could lose conviction and sell and they’re done. The miners are truly the most bullish. They have the highest conviction. They’re buying mining rigs with 3-4 year life cycle. They’re buying a hosting fee. They’re buying a warehouse and repurposing it into a mining facility, ripping up the walls, putting in these industrial grade fans. And those have five year life cycles. That’s what they’re getting married to three to five years. And they’re putting, they’re injecting all their capital in there and they may not earn back for 18 months and they can’t just turn around in two weeks and sell that stuff.
Matt D’Souza:
Right? It’s, illiquid. It’s not as repurposable these ASICs right? They’re mining rigs ASICs, only for Bitcoin. So they can’t change their opinions. They’re the ones with the highest conviction. But the thing is they’re getting their Bitcoin every day and they have to sell the Bitcoin to cover their electricity expenses. And that’s what’s going on in the space, which creates sell pressure on the Bitcoin network every day. You know, I think it’s 1800 Bitcoins a day, 54,000 Bitcoin a month. That is issued you know, pre Halving and that’s how much Bitcoin is released to miners. You know, when you think about how do prices get affected, it’s not, the trading volume on exchanges is really churn. It creates volatility and it affects price more short term. Right? BitMex had that liquidation. Bitcoin was at 7,800. It fell all the way to 3,800 but look, we’re right back at 66 right?
Matt D’Souza:
That’s, churn and volatility from speculators. That’s not what affects the intermediate and long term price. What affects the intermediate and long term price is net cash in net cash out and miners, unfortunately are net cash out because they have to fund their electricity expenses. It’s not because they don’t have conviction, it’s they have a bill every month and they have to fund it, so we’re getting net cash out from the miners. They have to sell their electricity are their Bitcoin to fund electricity. Sometimes they’re buying more mining rigs and we need positive sentiment. We need positive sentiment from funds and HODLer’s to be buying bitcoin as well to counterbalance the mining sell pressure.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. That’s a really interesting way of putting it because you’re saying basically that investment funds might, although generally are bullish, they have the ability to exit at any moment and walk away if they get tested. And then similarly now I think longer term HODLer’s , they have pretty strong conviction as well. But they can theoretically exit their position at any time. But I think the point you’re making here is that miners, because of their big upfront investment, they can’t just walk away at the drop of a hat. And so they’re in some way, there is a commitment there and that’s a pretty interesting fact that you could almost say a Bitcoin miners are more bullish than you are, than the typical HODLer.
Matt D’Souza:
Exactly. And when you put things into numbers, 54,000 Bitcoin released every month is a quarter billion dollars. That’s $540 million of potential sell pressure going to miners to sell for their electricity. Now they don’t sell it all, but that’s the potential. Now, how do you counterbalance that? Are funds and HODLer’s raising a half a billion a month, no chance. And of course miners aren’t selling all that, so it’s not as pessimistic as I initially proposed it, but that’s the potential. And realistically, and that’s what we show in the paper. We only model out how much electricity needs to get spent and that accumulates to about 40 to 50% of that, you know, half a billion. That’s what needs to get spent unless a mine, you know we’re getting some interesting minds out there and are raising a ton of capital. You know, it’s fun. It’s there. VC funds, hedge funds, they’re raising a ton of capital, they’re getting excellent balance sheets and they’re just accumulate in the Bitcoin. So those miners are high conviction. They’re paying electricity with cash rather than their Bitcoin and they’re holding all their Bitcoin. Those guys are the best for the network because they’re truly removing supply off the network. They’re getting all the new Bitcoin and they’re holding it. That is excellent for the price of Bitcoin.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah, it’s interesting to put it that way. And so yeah, you spell out some of the potential sell pressure but as you say. Some of them are more bullish than that and they’re trying to hold it back as much as they can. And so I think this also comes into the different levels of price or layers, as you say in the report that there are some miners who are above 7 cents per kilowatt hour. And then there are some that are below, you know 3 cents a kilowatt hour and so on. So could you just spell out for us a little bit around some of those different levels and how you figure out how many people are at these different levels and layers?
Matt D’Souza:
That’s a great question. So, Blockware solutions. We’ve, a majority of our business, we sell a majority of that North America, a lot of the U S market. But you know, I’ve been asked to speak around around the world at different conferences. You know, I was in Chengdu, the miner update team through a great conference in Chengdu in October. I’ve visited these large mines in Sichuan province. We visited the mines in the Pacific Northwest, Washington state. One of my partners has visited upstate New York mines. So we’ve, they’re all in our network miners in Kazakhstan, Iran, Venezuela. We just shipped several seventeens to Venezuela last week. So all over the U.S. Canada. So we, you know, we talked to these clients, what are you’re running, what’s your electricity rate, what’s your megawatt capacity? And we communicate directly with the pools. I mean we’re talking with Poolin.
Matt D’Souza:
We talk F2pool almost every two or three days. We talk to BitMain everyday, and Canaan. So we’ve gotten excellent peer review on our piece and understanding what electricity rates are at different geographical locations and what most importantly, what mining rigs are they running. And we also have our own pool. We have the Blockware pool. So we have, we have miners on there and we can see what workers they’re running a worker that’s 13.5 Terahash or is it 73 Terahash. And that’s how we know it’s an old Gen verse a next gen. So that’s how we’ve modeled out the network. And this is what’s really interesting. The miners with three cents or lower. They’re all still running S9s and the Canaan 10 Terahash or eBang is the 13 Terahash. I know a colleague who is mining and Kazakhstan, he, you know, really, really intelligent individual.
Matt D’Souza:
He raised some family office money and they launched like in November of 2019 you’d think? All right halvings coming up they’re buying next gen’s no, they have sub two cent power and they went and bought a bunch of the ebangs because their earn back is two or three months. So markets are efficient. I think cryptocurrency markets are the least efficient market of markets, but it’s still a market. And when you pour water at the top of the mountain, you have gravity and the water is going to go to the lowest point. It’s going to trickle down to the lowest point. And that’s what’s going to happen in the mining rig space. The S9’s, if someone has 6 cent electricity or 5 cent electricity, they have to sell it. You won’t be able to mine it at a hosting facility and it’s going to the cheapest power in the world.
Matt D’Souza:
It’ll, it might take three times. They might sell it to someone with three cents and then, and then it’s going to become unprofitable for the individual three cents and he’s going to sell it to someone with subsidized power and it’s all going to flow and trickle down to the cheapest power in the world. And these S9s are flowing to Kazakhstan, they’re flowing to Venezuela, they’re flowing to subsidized power in Iran. We have a client in Arizona who’s got solar power and he’s got zero cost and they’re flowing over there. So markets are fairly efficient. These S9s many of them are going to shut off and become obsolete. Many miners are just not going to want to deal with doing the shipping and stuff and they’ll junk them, but other ones are going to flow to the cheapest power in the world. Someone may have a negotiated deal with the utility where the power is basically free or they’re just paying variable costs, you know, the cost to deliver the electricity. So that’s how it’s going to work. These will disperse a cost across the globe and get to the cheapest power.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah, I love that insight. I think that’s a very underappreciated point and that really comes through very strongly from your report. Could you please just outline a little bit around what the different rigs are? So you’ve got the old generation Bitmain S9 and the next generation S17. Can you just spell out a little bit for the listeners around, you know, what’s that dynamic there and what are the different generations?
Matt D’Souza:
That’s a great question cause this really influences the market. I think we focus on 2, units, the S9, which is 13.5 Terahash and consumes 1400 Watts. Now the S17 plus, which is what we’re running at Blockware mining and that is 3 Terahash and consuming 3000 Watts. So it’s about, it’s about 2.1 times the amount of energy consumption, but it’s about 5.5 I think it 5 or 6 maybe. Yes, 6 times the Terahash output. So 2.1 more watt consumption, but six about six times the Terahash output, right? So, you’re consuming 2 times the Watts, but getting 6 times the output. That is radical efficiency, significant efficiency. So what does that, what does that do? You know, before I needed to run 70 machines, 70 S9’s to get one Petahash now I’m running 14 machines to get one Petahash 70 S9 to get one Petahash, 14 S17+ to get one Petahash and the watt consumption, you’re running the math, you’re I think it’s so 14 x 3000 Watts = 4.2 Right?
Matt D’Souza:
And the S9, 1400 Watts times, 70. Here I got my calculator eight times 1400 that’s 98,000 Watts. So it’s significantly more efficient. And what that does is it reduces the impact of electricity because you’re consuming less Watts to get more hash. And that’s why it keeps, and that’s why it keeps these high electricity miners in the game. So people with 5 cents, 6 cents that are at hosting facilities, they can mine very profitably if they’re in the NextGen. But if they have S9’s, they’ve blown out, you’ve gotta be two and a half cents or lower because of, you know, difficulty in the price of Bitcoin. So it’s a complete game changer.
Stephan Livera:
Yep. And so, I guess that’s, so you’re outlining there, why if you have a high electricity cost, not like crazy high, but like reasonable in the high, in the higher ranges, you can still make it work with next generation hardware. And then you’re saying also that if you have in the lower range of electricity costs, right, you’re in the better and the you can make a work even with the old hardware. Now the other question I guess is it just that because of the capital expenditure required to get the new hardware, that’s why sometimes people will stay using the old hardware if they have a good elctricity cost.
Matt D’Souza:
You hit it on the head. There’s an opportunity cost, the opportunity cost of depleting your Bitcoin treasury to upgrade to NextGen. If you’re at two and a half cents or lower, it doesn’t make sense. You’re better off holding the Bitcoin. You’re not really doing much for your, for your shutoff price. You’re not really lowering your breakeven price that much and it just doesn’t make sense to take on spending, you know, 2000 or 2,500 for NextGen depleting your Bitcoin and it’s a game of marginal returns.
Matt D’Souza:
You’re hitting marginal returns cause your electricity expense is lower. But if you’re at 6 cents, you have no choice. You got to get the NextGen. And that’s what’s really cool about this and how we’ve modeled it all out. You know, Blockware mining. We’re at 5.5 cents and we’re able to, we’re better off not depleting our capital towards infrastructure. You know, building out a facility transformers, because we’re in the newest technology, the most efficient technology. So we’re actually far better off having the 5.5 cent rate, not deploying 150 or $300,000 per megawatt for transformers, switch gears, electrical infrastructure, paying for management, paying for a facility, rent, all that stuff. We’re better off deploying all that capital just into machines maximizing our hash. And it’s because the 5.5 cents isn’t as impactful to us because we’re in such efficient machines.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. Right. And just for some context for the listeners just reading from the chart here at 5.5 cents electricity rate per kilowatt hour. The break even costs if you are on S9 is $7,762 Bitcoin price. But the break even cost at S17 is $2,700. So it’s a big difference there because you’re using the next generation hardware. So I think this is a much more accurate way to think of this idea of shutting off. And so Matt, could you just explain a little bit around this idea of miner capitulation and then why is that so commonly misunderstood or what’s wrong about people who say “Oh miners are going to capitulate and it’s all over for Bitcoin”?
Matt D’Souza:
It’s I call it a healthy cleanse. It’s look at what happens. It’s an efficiency. We’re creating efficiencies in the market. You know, I think one of the biggest, I don’t want to get too deep into what’s going on with the economy and all that stuff. It’s going to be a big tangent, but when you do bailouts and all that stuff, you’re keeping inefficient companies in the game. There’s things that you need to bill out and kind of intervene a bit, but there’s no reason everyone should get a bailout. If you’re an inefficient company you go through bankruptcy, an efficient company comes, takes your assets and takes pieces of your departments that are healthy and profitable and the stuff that’s unprofitable gets wiped out and that’s healthy for an economy. Mining is one of the best examples of this.
Matt D’Souza:
You get a miner who overspent on their facility, have S9s running, running at 7 cent a watt electricity, they should get wiped out. They, they are going to get blown out. And what happens is there’s 12 and a half Bitcoin that’s released that’s going that every, you know, every block that’s going to go to whoever is mining. So once miners, when the price of Bitcoin goes down and those miners shut off, when the price of Bitcoin goes down, it creates margin pressure for everyone on the network. Now when the inefficient miner shuts off the Bitcoin he was earning, it gets distributed to everyone else. And that improves the margins of the miners that survive. And that’s what’s critical. It’s a self correcting mechanism. Miner capitulation is about difficulty and then also inefficient miners blowing out the inefficient miners blow out difficulty adjusts right? Right now in a couple hours, difficulty is going to adjust 60 or 70%.
Matt D’Souza:
It’s going to be one of the largest ever. The price of Bitcoin went down. Everyone’s experiencing margin compression. All these miners running S9’s probably have shut down and we watched the pools. All the Asian pools were really shutting down. So I think it’s a lot, in Russia and China that are actually shutting down the S9 there. They’re no longer gonna earn Bitcoin and that Bitcoin is going to go to the guys who are running S17s and who are running efficiently and their margins are going to get better. It’s going to, right now, Bitcoin’s at 6,600 in, in a couple of hours as difficulty adjusts 16%. It’s going to be like Bitcoin being at 7,800. That’s how it works because the margin, because of difficulty, profit goes up 16% and that’s what’s critical. Capitulation is a very good thing. It’s removing the inefficient miners.
Matt D’Souza:
They no longer get their rewards, their rewards get allocated to the efficient miners. The guys that have deployed correctly that have low electricity and those are the strong hands. We want Bitcoin in their hands because they don’t have to sell as much Bitcoin. Their margins are good. They don’t have to sell as much Bitcoin. There’s less sell pressure on the network and Bitcoin price could increase. I almost think of it like the equity markets. Think about like Fidelity Contra or Vanguard account. These are the large funds who know what they’re doing and, and when the market drops a bit, they don’t just, they don’t sell. They’re coming in and they’re supporting the market and they’re buying and these equities, they go into strong hands and they have a time horizon of one year, one, one to four years. So coin is getting, when you get miner capitulation, Bitcoin starts getting allocated to the efficient miners with strong balance sheets, low electricity rates, the proper mining infrastructure. And it’s, it’s getting accumulated with guys who’ve been doing this for years who have seen this show before and they’re going to be holding that Bitcoin and now you’re taking Bitcoin off Bitcoin supply off the market and you’re reducing sell pressure on the network. And that’s what positions us to move up to the next leg in the price of Bitcoin.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah, that’s really fascinating. So I guess just to summarize for listeners, it’s something like as the Bitcoin price tanks, some miners have to shut off, right? The inefficient miners have to shut off and it becomes more profitable for the better miners. And also we get the downwards difficulty adjustment, meaning it becomes slightly less difficult to mine that Bitcoin. And that is what in turn rewards the best miners because they can now make more for the same amount of work that they were doing. And then as you were saying, they’re the strong holders they want to hold. And so that in some way diminishes or decreases the downwards sell pressure that exists just permanently or just continuously on the network.
Matt D’Souza:
You’re writing our second report. You got it.
Stephan Livera:
No, I think it was a, it was a great explanation from you and from reading the report. I think that was really interesting. And so let’s now that, what we spoke through, there was like the example where the price goes down, right? We have a crash. What, can you just talk through what it looks like when the price is on the bull run? Like when the price is rising, what does it look like? Does that invite more people into the market and then some of those people are inefficient and then they just get wiped out in the next crash?
Matt D’Souza:
Yeah, it’s totally cycles and just, you know, you explained it really well. I think we really need to give a tip of the hat to Satoshi. I mean, one of the most ingenious pieces of the Bitcoin network is difficulty. It’s just a self correcting mechanism that maintains the margins of the efficient miner. When too many miners come online and Bitcoin corrects, you know, too many miners come online, margins get compressed, Bitcoin corrects and miners have to shut off. Then difficulty kicks in, improves the margins for the efficient miners. And now what you just discussed, it’s going to be the opposite. Difficulty is going to, it’s going to Bitcoin, when Bitcoin starts to rise, everyone starts buying mining rigs. You know, it’s human psychology. It’s truly a market. People don’t buy low and sell high. Most people buy high and sell low, right?
Matt D’Souza:
They, it’s fear and greed. So when Bitcoin starts to rise, all these miners start deploying to mining rigs again and, and there’s that finite amount of Bitcoin that’s released. So it’s getting distributed amongst several miners and that’s what makes difficulty go up and difficulty. Like I said, it’s a self correcting mechanism. Difficulty is going to punish all these miners that have chased price and deployed mining rigs. If you’re going to get difficulty’s going to go up. Mining margins are going to compress. And once Bitcoin corrects in price those inefficient miners get wiped out again, and the cycle continues, then difficulty will be a positive where it’s gonna adjust lower and restore margins. So it, it keeps things in a band. Difficulty keeps margins in a band. And when price gets too high and too many miners come online, you get margin compression. And when you get miner capitulation on the downside, bitcoin price corrects miners shut off, difficulty adjust favorably and margins get. So it’s why I say difficulty is this ingenious self-correcting mechanism. It’s kind of a gravity. And what it’s doing is it brings margins back for those efficient miners over the intermediate and longterm.
Stephan Livera:
Very cool. And so if we, so we’ve spoken through if Bitcoin’s price goes down or up just on its own. Now, if we talk about actually the halving impact, right? So the amount of block reward or block subsidy to be precise, halves, can you talk us through some of the ways to think through that?
Matt D’Souza:
So it’s, it’s going to be extremely healthy. We, believe that the miners at about 6.5 and there’s differences. You know, you actually brought this up, I kind of missed it explaining it. But if you’re paying 6.5 cents, that’s not horrible. If you’re not paying anything towards capex. If you’re just paying for machines and you’re getting 6.5 that’s pretty good. If you’re getting three sons, you’re paying for infrastructure and all that stuff, then that’s how that balances out. So that’s critical. I don’t recommend miners who are paying 6.5, 7 cents, eight cents, and they’re running it at their house, paying for their own infrastructure, transformers build out, they’re going to get wiped out. That’s horrible. So that’s number one. When you see those layers of people at 5.5, 6 and a half, 7, they’re in hosting facilities, but that’s also their break even price at the end of the day.
Matt D’Souza:
So I just wanted to clarify that. Now when you’re discussing the halving and what’s happening, we encourage the Halving. We don’t fear it. We welcome it because we understand what it’s going to do and what it’s going to do for our profit margins over the next six months. Being at our layer, 5.5 for blockware mining is extremely healthy. What’s going to happen is it’s going to be, it’s going to be like an onion. There’s going to be layers that peel off this onion, those S9s are gonna blow out. If Bitcoin is still around 10,000 after the Halving. S9 are going to blow out, that’s all the old generation. So S9 from 7 cents to probably two and a half, three, two and a half cents, they’re going to blow out. They’re going to shut off. Now you have that other tier, of those T2T30’s InnoSilicon, they’re like mid generation.
Matt D’Souza:
Those are all going to blow out too, up to probably five cents. They are going to blow out. And if Bitcoin happens to be at five, six thousand after the halving even six and a half, 7,000 miners with 7 cents running S17s are going to have to shut off. So people at six and a half and lower running next gen, they’re going to have an amazing difficulty adjustment, right? When all those miners shut off, difficulty is going to adjust significantly. 30-40% and their margins are going to come back. There’s going to be friction. It’s not like a light switch. You know, it takes time for these miners to shut off because a lot of these miners who are in hosting contracts, they don’t, if they don’t pay their hosting contract, they lose their equipment. So they’re not going to just let their equipment go.
Matt D’Souza:
They’re going to wait to deplete their balance sheets and all that. So it might take two to four months of friction for all of that to wipe out. And there’s other large miners who have negotiated rates with utility companies that they have to consume a specific amount or their 4 cent electricity turns into five and a half. There’s all types of deals out there that are going to make some miners operate at a loss, which creates more sell pressure ’cause all the Bitcoin they’re mining is going to get sold and then they have to tap into their treasury and that has to get sold to. So that’s more sell pressure. So we need all that to blow up. I think, I don’t like price targets, but if Bitcoin is in these suppressed levels through the Halving, it may take another two or three months of extreme miner capitulation for all those miners to blow out. And then difficulty is going to adjust and profit margins are actually going to be better for these efficient miners running the S17 pluses and in that six cent band or lower their profit margins are going to be better after the halving than before.
Stephan Livera:
Right. And so it’s an interesting insight there as well that the typical thing you hear people say is, Oh, but if the price drops, then these miners can instantly shut off. But it’s an interesting point you make there, that that’s not reality for many miners. They’ve got negotiated deals in place. They have a certain contract in place where they can’t just immediately turn off or not all of them can at least. And then some of them are playing the speculation game as well, where they may temporarily just wear the loss because they’re kind of hoping for a longterm bullish aspect.
Matt D’Souza:
And that’s the worst part. I mean, I think that’s what really drove the two downturns. The one, after we peaked out in June, 2019, you know, because I run the hedge fund as well and I trade OTC with one of the largest groups in Chicago. We’d discuss analyses and they were telling me how their miner mining clients, they pumped the brakes. So when Bitcoin was going from 8,000 to 13,000, they stopped selling their Bitcoin. They were looking at 20,000. They’re not, they weren’t interested in the moon. They were interested in Mars. So that’s where they thought we were going. They stopped selling their Bitcoin and then Bitcoin rolled over at 13,000. It went till, you know, 12,000, 11,000, 10,000 and these guys started feeling the pressure and they started puking and, and that’s what drove it. You know, that’s what drives it down.
Matt D’Souza:
It’s miners that don’t make, create a plan and they don’t trade the plan. You got to have a plan. You gotta have a strategy and you stick with it. It’s a game of discipline. Mining is all about survivability, deploying at the right times and being, having an excellent treasury management. And some of these guys elect to turn into speculators and that hurts them significantly. And you know, in January, I was so concerned, I heard the same thing from the OTC desk. They’re like, yeah, these guys, they’re not selling. And I knew once we get get to about 7,800, they’re all going to start puking again. And that’s, you know, you had that sell pressure. And then of course the BitMex liquidations, people being on margin coupled with the U.S. Equities really driving all assets lower. It was just a perfect storm for the sell off. So
Stephan Livera:
Yeah, that’s an interesting one. And when it comes to electricity deals, right, so as you say, it’s a very important factor. What is your electricity right now? I’ve heard that it can be difficult to negotiate a good rate or you might have trouble staying in a certain area that you might, you know, there might be a political risk of having the miner in that jurisdiction or you kind of get shunted out. What are some of the strategies and ways to try and negotiate in a good electricity rate and keep that rate?
Matt D’Souza:
So in the, U.S. There’s actually far more stability. Like ,I just couldn’t, there’s so much volatility in Bitcoin mining. I don’t know how people do it and some of these other countries, cause you can just get shut down over night. There’s like that there’s enough volatility and problems in Bitcoin mining. I don’t know how people do it with the, with you know, that you, you don’t get excellent uptimes with the power. And you know, if your Internet’s down 15- 20% of the time, what good is that your revenue is down 20%. Right? A lot of these countries have blackouts and 20% of the day power is shut off and people are running mining rigs there. So to us it’s, you know, from a risk management perspective, I don’t get involved in an asset or I could just lose, there’s a, there’s a 15 or 20% chance where I just lose because it’s not in my control.
Matt D’Souza:
That doesn’t make sense to me. And that’s why it’s so critical to be deployed in like the U.S. Or Canada where there’s stability and, and the municipalities are working with you and they appreciate you because they have, you know, a lot of mining operations. We’re not running them in New York City or Chicago or LA. You’re going into rural areas where they have excess electricity, cheap land. Right? Markets are efficient. You’d go where the power’s cheap, the utilities have excess, and you’re, you’re, it’s a communal relationship. Now I think when utilities a lot, there’s not a lot of negotiation power, but you have to go to places, you know, you want to try and get this cocktail of cheap power, cheap land and a good climate. It’s, difficult, but it’s out there. You gotta do, you gotta do the work and if you can get a place that has a lot of excess power, then, then you have a communal relationship, right?
Matt D’Souza:
But you’re not really going to be able to push utilities around. You still are somewhat at their mercy. But the goal is to have three to five year contracts locked in with utilities, if they’ll do that. I mean,I’ve got a really savvy group in the state of Washington. They’ve been around the block for a few years and, and they’ve done a great job with, with negotiating their contracts. I know there’s sub three cents and they’ve put in a lot of work. They did the due diligence and they got it done. So it can be done.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. And is there, do you face, I suppose in the U.S. and Canada mining operations will face a little bit more scrutiny around things like auditing and so on, but at the same time that might also help you from an outside investor point of view. Has that been your experience?
Matt D’Souza:
Yeah, I mean we are a U.S. Entity. We get our audits, everything, you know, by the book, it’s good for us and it’s good for our investors, right? Our LPs want it. It makes it a more attractive product that allows us to get debt financing as well. So, absolutely. I mean, we pay our taxes, everything. This is, like I said, this is a game. Mining is a game of not screwing it up. From, what you’re buying to how you’re operating to the treasury management, to the, to the regulation, to the taxation. Mining is, it’s a very lucrative operation. You know, with our mining fund, Bitcoin is down. I don’t know what it’s down on the year. Maybe 30%. We’re up, we’re up significantly. We make money in a sideways and downward market. If you’re holding Bitcoin, you’re losing money.
Matt D’Souza:
If you’re mining and you have a diversified product like ours where you self mine, you resell rigs, you take on hosting contracts, you have three revenue streams, right? And that’s allowed us to significantly outperform the price of Bitcoin. So from our perspective, we’re trying to do the, all the small things, right? We’re trying to be very diligent, be very disciplined with our treasury management. And it’s a game of survivability. Miners are survivors and, we’re going to be in the game. It’s about staying in the game. A lot of other miners blow out, make poor decisions, overspend. And they blow out. And, and a lot of times with, whether it’s invested in equities or assets, you make a majority of your money in a month or two or the whole year, you know? And when Bitcoin went from 5,000 to 10,000, margins were insane.
Matt D’Souza:
I mean, earn backs were so short. So you gotta be in the game. If you take yourself out of the game, it’s game over. Right? So if, if, if Bitcoin, if difficulty is going down as it is and lead times are two and a half months and out of nowhere, Bitcoin sprints up to 10,000 and we have our mining rigs running, we’re going to make, we’re going to make eight months worth of money in two months. So you gotta be diligent, you gotta be doing the right things, just stay in the game and you’re going to have segments of the year, one or two month segments of the year where you’re going to make 80% of your money. So you gotta be positioned.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. That’s also a really fascinating insight and it makes a lot of sense when you think about it because it’s like you’ve set up your whole operation to try and be efficient, have a certain cost, but then all of a sudden the thing you’re making or the thing you are producing has just shot up in value because Bitcoin just does Bitcoin things and goes volatile. And then it just, during that period, you’re just minting it. Right. So that’s a really interesting and it’s kind of aligns as well with even if you look at people like Thomas Lee who talks about Bitcoin from an investment point of view, he says, if you weren’t holding Bitcoin, there were certain days in the year where if you just weren’t holding Bitcoin on that day, you missed out on a massive return. And it’s a similar kind of aspect with mining because if you weren’t mining in a good operational cost then you missed out on the massive gain that was available during that day.
Matt D’Souza:
Exactly, exactly. And unfortunately, and that’s, how we’re set up. We have our mining rigs we’re accumulating, but unfortunately most miners, they see those days where Bitcoin spikes and then they’re ordering their mind and rigs and then they’re not getting plugged in for two and a half months. And right our self-correcting friend, difficulty has already punished them and brought margins back to normal and then they get their mind and rigs two and a half months later in margins have compressed again and normalized. Right. So that’s why as you said, you gotta be in the game and position when the opportunity, if the opportunity’s there and you’re not ready, you miss the opportunity. So you have to, you have to be positioned before the opportunity comes.
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. It’s like that luck is when preparation meets opportunity kind of thing. So I guess projecting out, right? Like, so we’re all bullish on Bitcoin. We think this thing is going way, way higher. What does it look like when the block reward component, sorry, the block subsidy component of the block reward comes down and well, hopefully most of that, a lot more of that reward is coming out of fees. Do you think that changes the dynamic, therefore mining how you think about mining, and I know this is kind of maybe 15 years out. Do you have any thoughts around what that looks like?
Matt D’Souza:
Yeah, It doesn’t concern me at all. This is what’s interesting. I think Bitcoin is digital gold. I don’t think fees are ever gonna drive the network. And we need to put things into perspective. Right now, if I have 100,000 in cash and I park it in a bank, I’m paying a fee in Germany, you’re paying negative interest in Japan, you’ve been paying negative interest rates in Germany, now you’re paying negative interest rates. So we can go to I believe if this matures out five, 10 years, Bitcoin’s going to be at a significantly higher price. There’s going to be miners, there’s going to be holders with a hundred million dollars worth of Bitcoin, $10 million worth of Bitcoin. If I buy gold right now and I buy $1 million worth of gold, I pay insurance, I pay, the storage costs. So I’m paying essentially a negative interest rate right now if I have Gold, a significant amount, right?
Matt D’Souza:
It’s in a vault. You don’t keep it in your house if you’ve got, a significant amount. So when you look at the parallel systems or comparable assets, people are already paying a fee for to store these, these store values and now currencies, they’re doing it. If you put your money in a bank account, you’re paying a negative interest rate. So that’s the world we already live in. Now with Bitcoin, forget mining rewards getting halved and transaction fees, we can go to zero rewards and if we have a robust system in 10-20 years where, this stuff is valuable and it’s like digital gold, while people are going to be willing to pay a quarter percent and you don’t have to, right? You don’t have to put it in a vault because you have your private keys. So that cost isn’t there.
Matt D’Souza:
But I’m willing to pay a quarter percent to the miners to subsidize them because the comparable world like gold or, currencies with negative interest rates are already there and they’re probably more expensive. And, if I want to move my gold, it’s not portable, like digital currency, jump on a plane, go, wherever you got your digital currency. Just on a ledger. So that doesn’t scare me at all. I mean it, because, because there’s a dynamic for us to get to that state, that means Bitcoin succeeded. And if Bitcoin succeeded, it’s at a significantly higher price. It’s significantly more valuable. And if it’s more valuable, we have the incentive to, pay that quarter percent or half a percent to miners to secure the network. And right. Like that’s, what we’re doing in the real world with gold insurance, storage costs all that stuff. So, so it’s, when you think about what the real world looks like, that’s normal.
Matt D’Souza:
That’s normal to not pay is abnormal. So, so yeah, that doesn’t concern me at all. And also, I don’t know what’s going to happen with Bitcoin is lightning network and to take off is going to be a payment processor. I don’t really think so. I think it’s going to be digital gold. And if that’s the case, you don’t have a ton of transactions. And so therefore you don’t have a lot of transaction fees. People should be,\ holding their Bitcoin as a hedge or whatever. You know, when you get, you get these multi, these mega net worths especially in like China or other countries, it makes a lot of sense to diversify your assets. They put, they put their money in fine art, $20 million paintings, diamonds, property all around the world. And Bitcoin is just going to be another one.
Matt D’Souza:
It’s going to be another asset to the cocktail of store of value. And think about how attractive that is to the mega net worths. I’m talking about the billionaires to, have this on a ledger and be able to go wherever you want and no one can confiscate it. Right? And now, now I’m seeing sophisticated people with the Brain wallet, right? They’re memorizing their 24 words. So you know, on a ledger you have your 24 seed words. They’re not even they’re, I have a, I have a colleague who’s been mining since 2011 he has a brain wallet, so he’s memorized all 24 words about every two weeks. He tests to assure that he’s got all 24 words memorized and he can just not have a ledger or anything. He can go fly to Switzerland, buy a ledger, upload his seed character on that ledger and he’s got all this and then he can just throw out that ledger, go fly to Australia.
Matt D’Souza:
He’s got his 24 characters memorized in his head and he can get access to his coins there. Like, talk about immutability and portability, portability. You can’t beat it. That’s it’s going to be, and you, you factor in generational trends. The fact that millennials have just taken over baby boomers and the generation under us are more digital. China, 80% of payments in China are digital often mobile. It just resonates with, with the, with the upcoming generation, digital gold is going to make a lot of sense. We just need this technology to mature. Presently a technology in its infancy. There’s a lot of volatility, so it’s not truly a great store of value, but as technologies and commodities mature, the volatility gets sucked out. You know, gold, soybeans, oil, they’ve been around for hundreds of years, right? And they’re less volatile because the supply is better controlled if, if you’re an oil company drilling oil, you have a trade desk, you’re hedging out your futures and forward contracts, 12 months, you’re locking in margin and that reduces volatility.
Matt D’Souza:
And when the volatility is reduced, it’s more usable for the end user. And that’s how those commodities become usable and stick around. Bitcoin right now we have miners in China or wherever who just puke their supply. They’re the ones who are the suppliers, right? Bitcoin is probably going to be digital gold of commodity. And right now the people that are controlling the new supply, they just sell at will they market order when they get their coin from the pool. And that creates volatility and then it’s not as good as a store of value. And then it’s not as usable for the populace, but early adopters are getting into it. So once we get more commoditization and more maturity on the supply side, the miners, which we’re seeing and we get better financial products, which we’re seeing, this is all happening right in front of our face. CME futures, Bakkt, options, that’s going to reduce volatility. When that reduces volatility, this becomes a more effective store of value and therefore it becomes more usable and therefore it’s more of a digital gold. People can use it. So right now Bitcoin is a commodity in its infancy as that matures, it improves the narrative radically.
Stephan Livera:
Yup. And so looking out to the coming halving, right, so we are in late March now the Halving predicted for, call it 9th or 10th of May, so just a little over a month away. And so what we spoke about earlier is kind of getting at that idea that there might be a couple of months of, you know, shake out before the breakout. And I guess over time just those investment funds and the HODler’s and the people who are just stacking will basically keep purchasing new Bitcoins and there’ll just be less selling pressure continually coming from the miners. Because of the Halving. So is that basically your outlook on the Halving and the next few months following?
Matt D’Souza:
So um like funds and stuff. Buying Bitcoin because of the Halving?
Stephan Livera:
Yeah. And also just what happens to Bitcoin as an overall ecosystem over the next few months. I think historically we’ve seen the Halving happens and then it’s kind of the price starts to rise a few months later. Is that essentially what your view is on what’s coming?
Matt D’Souza:
So what we expect there’s, I think there’s three dynamics. It’s kind of like this perfect storm for Bitcoin. Number one, the supply supply side economics improve, right? The one thing that has effect is that the amount of supply of Bitcoin is going to get halved right? So if you have 50% less Bitcoin to sell, that’s great for the network, right? That sell pressure, 50% potential is removed. So that’s exceptional on the supply side. Economics for the price of Bitcoin. Now what does that do? Everyone knows that having is typically bullish, people understand that this supply side economics is going to improve. So that improved sentiment into the system you want, you know, it’s improved sentiment on the demand side, investment funds HODLer they naturally are going to try and lean bullish. They want to be bullish because they’re going all to Halving all less, less sell pressure, less supply.
Matt D’Souza:
This is good. And once prices start to improve, they’ll chase the momentum because sentiment improves on the demand side. Supply side economics improve cause there’s 50% less sell pressure that’s going to flow into the investment funds and the HODLers and that’s going to give them positive sentiment. And it’s, you know, markets are driven by sentiment, right? So, if they naturally right now I think everyone’s just very scared because of the US equities and what happened in Bitcoin. But overall all these participants want Bitcoin to go up and, and, and so it creates positive sentiment. If we get priced to start ticking up, I think people are going to chase the momentum because of that positive sentiment. So, so what that does is it carries over, an improvement on the demand side as well. And then there’s a third factor in there, which is all the debt financing, collateralization of Bitcoin.
Matt D’Souza:
That could be a whole another lover. You know, it wiped, it created a bunch of margin calls on the downside because people were over levered and got wiped out because there was such a nasty sell off. But a lot of miners, they’re starting to collateralize their Bitcoin and that reduces sell pressure on the network, right? So they get their Bitcoin and rather than selling it, they can collateralize it with a lender and they get, you know, USDT or Dai or whatever, and that now they’re able to get cash and pay their electricity. So the electricity bill is getting paid without having to sell Bitcoin. And, and it’s essentially removing supply off the network. You know, we’re kind of going through a reset because everyone got wiped out on the margin calls, but people are going to start collateralizing their Bitcoin again, they won’t have to sell their Bitcoin. They’ll be able to fund their electricity expenses. And what that will do is remove sell pressure and it’s another lever of basically improving the supply side. When you couple all these three together, that’s how you position for the next leg up in Bitcoin.
Stephan Livera:
Fantastic. Yeah, that’s a really great explanation and it’s a great report. I recommend listeners go and have a look at it and if listeners want to follow you online or keep up with Blockware solutions is doing where can they find you guys?
Matt D’Souza:
So you can find me on Twitter. We release a lot of information off my Twitter @mjdsouza2. You can also follow our Blockware solutions team. It’s @blockwareteam.

Halle Berry wanted to look like a 'Bond Girl' at the Oscars.
The 46-year-old actress - who appeared as Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson in 2002 James Bond movie 'Die Another Day' - almost didn't get to wear her dream Versace dress but it arrived in the nick of time for the ceremony.
She explained to TV talk show host Jay Leno: ''I had a conversation with Donatella Versace and told her that I really want to go to the Oscars as a Bond Girl, if a Bond Girl would go in 2013.
''So she came up with her idea of what it was, but she's out of the country. She put it in a suitcase and shipped it here and I got it the day before the Oscars.
''I had some other dress I was going to wear which was beautiful. But I pulled this out and it fit perfectly and I just thought, 'Wow'. ''
Halle went on to describe the dress as feeling like she was ''wearing a Ferrari''.
Despite her enthusiasm for the metallic gown, the 'Cloud Atlas' star admitted it had a drawback - her arms were ''stuck down'' because it was so constricting. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9889812469482422}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '54937', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3H6MHR7ATJ4JWFY2FCBMPEQWK53YKZ73', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:be6bbdfb-f8e5-400d-bbea-152156488b59>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 3, 14, 14, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '72.21.92.92', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SZUKW45CMO52BBENDA467WUVRQJZVXI6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:68c593db-5214-4e89-acc9-e763d80b64d4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.contactmusic.com/halle-berry/news/halle-berry-s-bond-girl-dress_3550808', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:456778a2-889f-499c-84e6-37c82a834928>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '183', 'url': 'http://www.contactmusic.com/halle-berry/news/halle-berry-s-bond-girl-dress_3550808', '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': '0.13892340660095215', 'original_id': '72ff2f72ed411e52cfdf6e52b39efa45882f4419eb4dd2a53a83126df987a53a'} |
Q:
Login page with AngularJS
I have a problem: I need to check if the username typed into an input form is equal to the username that is in my array of users. I do the same thing for password. I want to make a login form.
var app = angular.module('myApplication', []);
app.controller('UserListCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.usersList = [
{
name: 'Alex',
pass: 2200201
},
{

];
$scope.checkInputs = function () {
$scope.searchUser = {

pass: $scope.yourPass
};
if ($scope.searchUser.name === $scope.usersList.name) {
console.log($scope.searchUser.name);
} else {
console.log('You are not registered');
}
};
});
And the HTML:

This blog post is from the Healthcare Action Committee formed during our first meeting. For information on how to get involved with them, e-mail azagainsttrumpagenda@gmail.com or comment on this blog post.
I want to urge all of you to send a email to Arizona’s Medicaid Agency to
publicinput@azahcccs.gov. The Governor desires to take all able bodied adults off the
rolls of Medicaid/AHCCCS. There is an estimated 700,00 people this could effect. He
also wants to punish Medicaid recipients monetarily if they go to the E.R. If the
Governor does this it will mean an increase of the uninsured and uncompensated care.
Since Medicaid expansion uncompensated care has decreased greatly, and
Arizona is one of the leading states for growth in healthcare. Hospitals and clinics are
building. A local clinic has hired 300 people in the last 3 years and will employ more in
the near future, it is clinics like this that will keep people out of the ER, not monetary
punishment. Revenue is up for the state, because healthcare dollars are spent in the
community and taxes are collected.
I have worked in the trenches of healthcare in Arizona and I experienced this
when the State of Arizona removed childless adults form AHCCCS and decided that
the ER was the back up system for them. There was a great increase in uncompensated
care resulting from that. Healthcare is starting to make gains after Medicaid expansion
but the Governor wants to go backwards. Medicaid works and we need to tell our
government to expand and improve Medicaid, our voices need to be heard. If the
Governor makes these changes much will be lost.
The open period for public input ends February 28th. Your voice will be heard in
this forum. There are recent articles in the Arizona Republic, that discuss what the
Governor wants to do and what the results of these changes would be. I encourage all
of you to get involved, make a difference and make your voices heard.

Tips for video conferencing on your smartphone
Tuesday, July 30 2013
Video conferencing technology has evolved in recent years, moving away from dedicated webcams and microphones to more mobile options. Professionals can conduct face-to-face conversations with almost anyone by using their tablets and smartphones.
Conducting meetings with the latter devices can be somewhat difficult, especially if you're traveling and can put your phone down to keep it stable. The key is to watch your viewing window carefully to ensure that you're always in the frame. This will prevent you from angling the camera in such a way that your contacts won't be able to see you.
Further, you must have a reliable WiFi network in order to video conference on your smartphone, according to Opposing Views. Running video conferencing software requires a great deal of bandwidth so your service provider's network might not provide sufficient support for your meeting. By accessing an internet connection, you can ensure that your discussion won't end prematurely.
Finally, you may want to have your charger readily available. Video conferencing can quickly drain your smartphone's battery, which means your device will be dead before your meeting is officially over. If you can't access your charger, you may want want to find an alternative communication platform. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '9', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9505282044410706}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '21001', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FNXLNOBOJIPDUZAYD7W2VCWQ245KGGX2', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a9833727-6b9b-4a31-895b-a1f9d14d50cb>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 30, 2, 35, 30), 'WARC-IP-Address': '66.186.2.80', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:RUG74WFP5G7OGLUXHIAROEXAPUJ4HB4R', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:85bb1ae6-0ad9-41dd-ad79-e7fde3f1248f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.megameeting.com/news/tips-for-video-conferencing-on-your-smartphone-482688.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:892ed1ec-e9d8-4d4a-b32d-3cebf4bd8dc8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '210', 'url': 'http://www.megameeting.com/news/tips-for-video-conferencing-on-your-smartphone-482688.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-06\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for January 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': '0.04151648283004761', 'original_id': '417d2c00e431e5dd69b317aeb18e997ca863faff346533bf46c6c17f9a969e25'} |
Protesting The Lies Against Cannabis 7 October 2015
500 rally final
Who Are We Peacefully Protesting / Rallying Against ? –
Who Are the NCPIC ?
The NCPIC – National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre are part of the Department of Health Australia, their job and mandate, as their name says is to prevent the usage of Cannabis even for medical use of sick children based on per their own words, “With ‘evidence-based’ information”.
So could lies and fake stories still be considered ‘Evidence Based Information’.
Yes, poor quality evidence based information for sure.
Why the Weird Date and Time ?
The NCPIC is having an International Cannabis Conference ($500 a head) at the address on the card on the day, that is 100% anti-Cannabis (ironic).
Why Are We Protesting-
The NCPIC uses old research, and opinion papers that they or their friends write for them to validate their miss information, some might call it lies. – Please watch their own video and see for yourself what has inspired us,
In the Video it Says Cannabis Withdrawl from Cannabis Addiction, can be cured with Sativex, What is Sativex ?
Pharmaceutical (non natural) Cannabis
But, Is Cannabis Actually Addictive Anyhow ?
Good question, glad I asked. The definition most commonly accepted by addiction experts is a boiled-down version of the one laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV TR), psychiatry’s handbook of all mental conditions. By the book, addiction is the compulsive use of a substance despite ongoing negative consequences, which may lead to tolerance, and physicial withdrawal symptoms when the substance is stopped. By that definition the answer is no.
So if Cannabis is NOT addictive, as there are no physical withdrawl symptoms, then why is the NCPIC, saying you might need pharmaceutical Cannabis to get over it, and why would you. It is like drinking vodka to get over alcoholoism isn’t it?
Exactly, (you are clever) NCPIC receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in Sativex for trial use, $270k in 2011 alone, per the NCPIC.
What Good will protesting do?
Maybe none, but there is a lot going on with the laws, in Victoria, other states, nationally and globally, so with promise of REAL Cannabis law reform ongoing in Australia miss information causes problems, confuses everyone from the media, the public even the politicians, and can stop any REAL progress being made for a long time. Effectively we are caling BS to the lies, we want FACTS not FEAR techniques to be used. There is still real education needed.
What Group or Political Party is Sponsoring This ?
None, We are just a group of like minded friends that work across and with all the Cannabis groups in Australia, to share common goals of fixing law reform
Is Protesting Legal
Yes we even have a permit.
Do You Hate the Police and Law Enforcement ?
We love the police, it is unfair for the police to be caught up in the confusion of the new laws that say some can be arrested, and others should not be, they are just doing their job. In the USA and the UK, law enforcement have been VERY instrumental in Cannabis law reform, and for offering their own views on why the drug wars have not worked, especially via LEAP (law enformcement against prohibition) Sometimes there are problems with law enforcemnt potentially losing jobs, hours, or internal funding when Cannabis became legal overseas. We need to make sure that law enforcement is not penalised once they might be re-prioritised, to focus on other crimes including other drug crimes. This is why we need to fix the laws, and address things that hinder that process.
We hope to see you there.

LTE: Covid Chic
To the Editor:
The plague might be winding down, at least in the sane parts of the nation, but it still remains at the center of our daily preoccupations. To wear a mask or not to wear a mask, that is still the question.
And there are a great many other questions which are often the first focus of conversations. Instead of greeting a friend or acquaintance with, “Hi, how are you,” we tend to start off with, “When did you get your vaccination? Where did you go? How long did you have to wait?” If the person is shot-less and age twelve or older, then the only response is a look of profound pity or scorn followed by quickly walking away.
If the encountered person did get vaccinated, then the contest begins. “What kind of shot did you get?” If they got Pfizer and you got Moderna, or vice versa, and the vaccine is different from yours, then the only response is profound pity.
I relish telling people how, after a two-day blizzard, I had to drive an hour and a half to the Gloucester County Mega-site and stand in line outside in the snow for two hours before I finally got injected. Can you top that?
On a related note, how much thought have you given to the impact of Covid on haute couture? Really, when your destination is some potentially crowded indoor site, how much time do you spend deciding on which mask to wear with which outfit? Are you interested in color coordination, a theme (trains, dinosaurs, bicycles) or do you always play it safe and put on basic black? Is it too threatening or creepy to put on a heavy-duty N95 mask?
The omnipresence of masks has led to some surprising issues beyond the world of fashion. Have you noticed how many masks lie discarded in parking lots, on sidewalks or on the side of the road? Flattened, grimy masks now vastly outnumber the traditional beer can and cigarette butt composition of litter.
While it was once safe to pick up garbage during Hopewell’s Community Clean-up Days, is it ever safe to pick up potentially highly infectious masks? Should they be left lying on the ground waiting for natural decay? Do masks decay? Would it make sense to have the same trucks that pick up deer carcasses to also pick up used masks? Should the people who haul dead deer onto the pick-ups use tongs, extra-long-handled tongs, to snatch the masks off the ground? Should they be equipped with flame-throwers?
In the past, going out involved reviewing one’s checklist: money, credit cards, driver’s license, glasses, and phone. To that list has been added masks—just in case. Could the necessity of masks be the source of new nightmares replacing the one where you show up at school or work naked? Could the new equivalent nightmare be one where you go to Shoprite and, in horror, discover that you forgot your mask and everyone is staring at you?
Then there is the question of identifying other people. Wasn’t it remarkable that you developed the supernatural skill to recognize people despite seeing only half of their faces? What gave them away: Ugly clothes? Ungainly bearing? Wild eyebrows? Bad hair?
Regarding those folks to whom you have been introduced but have only seen from the eyes up, would you recognize them if their whole faces were showing? How many people do you wish would have kept their masks on now that you can see their whole face?
So many questions.
Robin Schore,
Hopewell Borough

What Is Involved in a Tracheotomy Procedure?
The intubation of an artificial breathing tube is usually a short-term situation.
A tracheotomy is often performed after an injury to the larynx or trachea is sustained.
A tracheotomy procedure involves make an incision just below the Adam's apple.

A tracheotomy procedure involves the introduction of an artificial hole in the throat to restore one’s ability to breathe when one's airway is obstructed. How a tracheotomy is performed is determined by individual circumstances, whether it be an emergency or planned procedure. The intubation of an artificial breathing tube is usually a short-term situation, but may be used over the long term if one’s condition warrants. As with any invasive procedure, a tracheotomy carries some risk for complication, including infection, scarring and excessive bleeding.
In most cases, an emergency tracheotomy procedure is performed in the immediate wake of significant injury to the head, neck or upper torso. When someone’s ability to breathe is impaired, a secondary hole must be created to allow air flow and respiration. If performed outside a medical setting, an emergency tracheotomy is known as a cricothyroidotomy.
A cricothyroidotomy involves piercing a hole through the trachea, or throat, into the larynx. After a tube is inserted into the hole, the opposite end is fastened to a bag that supplies oxygen. Once the individual is transported to a hospital or comparable medical setting, and he or she is stable, a tracheotomy may be performed.
When performed in a hospital setting, a tracheotomy procedure involves the use of a general anesthetic. An incision is made just below the Adam’s apple that glances the thyroid and penetrates the trachea, or windpipe. After creating a small hole, a tracheostomy, or trach, tube is positioned in the hole. Sutures may be used to tighten the tissue around the trach tube and prevent foreign matter from entering the hole. To keep the trach tube from shifting or being displaced, a small plate or guard is positioned around the exposed end of the tube and secured by a nylon or elastic strap.
Planned tracheotomy procedures are generally performed when a medical condition contributes to airway obstruction. Chronic conditions, such as throat cancer and paralysis, can necessitate a tracheotomy. Tracheal narrowing and impaired muscle function within the throat are among the most common contributory factors for airway obstruction. It is not uncommon for a tracheotomy to also be used to aid recovery following neck surgery.
Individuals preparing for a planned tracheotomy procedure are usually given pre- and post-operational instructions. As with any medical procedure that involves the use of anesthetic, eating or drinking within 12 hours of a tracheotomy is discouraged. The use of any medications that may contribute to complications, such as blood thinners, may be temporarily discontinued prior to surgery.
Whether a trach tube is intubated over the short or long term, there is risk associated with its placement. A tracheotomy procedure can be complicated by infection and excessive bleeding. It is possible for air to enter the chest cavity during trach tube placement, which can further hinder respiration. Long-term risks include tracheal narrowing, inflammation and pain at the intubation site.

@pastanaga - I don't know how often in the modern world a person is going to come across a situation where this would be necessary anyway.
And it makes me think of those people who end up with a permanent tracheotomy because they have cancer of the mouth or something similar and need a tube in order to breathe.
Post 2
@Iluviaporos - Even in cases where it is necessary, no medical procedure should be performed by people who don't know what they're doing, unless the person is definitely going to die without their help.
One slip of the knife and you could easily sever an important artery. And the average person wouldn't even know what part of the neck to pierce.
Everyone should have some emergency training. But for the most part that will consist of being told to get help as soon as possible rather than taking matters into your own hands.
Post 1
My sister used to volunteer with an ambulance service and she once told me that these are almost never necessary. They do them all the time on TV because they look dramatic, but still like something that could conceivably be done well outside of a hospital setting.
But she has actually heard of people trying to do this operation on folk who are choking or having trouble with their lungs (like asthma) and a tracheotomy wouldn't help at all with either of those things. It's only useful in cases where someone has blocked their airway (perhaps because their throat has swelled shut) but their lungs are still working. Otherwise you're better off performing the Heimlich maneuver, or administering medication or even performing CPR than cutting open their throat.

Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story
Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story
Author: Sally Lloyd-Jones
Illustrator: Alison Jay
The skies shouted it to the seas that thundered it to the waves that roared it to the great white whales that sang it to the starfish in the deep. And tiny sandpipers danced it on shining sands It's time! It's time! On one quiet night, creation whispered a secret. Grass and bees, robins and trees all spread the word. Sheep told their young while angels sang the song to the shepherds. Hushed news of a miracle echoed to the ends of the earth. The moment had come. The long-awaited child had arrived! Creation cried out in celebration, but only a few people heard. Only a few joined nature's chorus, a song in praise of the newborn King.

Tokuno Freezing
Rose was right. Saving her frozen flower garden was turning into a deadly affair. How could these ice creatures be in the warm lands of Tokuno....

1. I saw them as soon as I recalled in...strange snow flurries surrounding the EM Hall. Not believing my eyes, I ran inside "Anyone else see strange snow flurries outside?"
People, rapidly preparing to defend the hall, ran outside. Behind the building we found not only snow flurries but other ice creatures. The few creatures presented no challenge.

Shivering I went to the front of the building. There I saw a young lady talking to the others.
Lesser Deamon motioned for her to go inside "Are you frozen?"
Inside was warmer, but a strange chill began seeping in. Lesser Deamon escorted her to the front of the room so she could easily address us.
"I-i am so sssorry." She stood shivering, "sseemss I have brought some wwith me-e."
"Soo ccooldd" Rose's teeth could be heard chattering. "Pllease listenn, my dear friend Harriet ssaid you could helpp me.
Cathy Earnshaw nodded ,"Aye."
"My nname is Rose and as ssilly as it seems I am a florest. " she paused to rub her arms. "But usually not so cold. I thhink I've been cursed." she explained between shivers
Sir Patrick gave her an encouraging smile.
Shivering she smiled back. "Ass youu well know we haave had a cold winter this year. Well I went to Tokuno for the coldd season as the temperatures sseemed more moderate."
Rose shivered, "It seems as though time if frozen as well."
I frowned, "Not good."
"Oh No!" Cathy Earnshaw gasped.
Harriet nodded. "My blooms came upp and froze up."
"So the blooms are frozen in time?" I asked a little puzzled.
Shivering, Rose nodded. "Ooover one moons time they have nnot died oor produucded."
"Bad for argiculture futures." commented Cathy Earnshaw.
"They stand frozen in time and frozen literally." Rose explained still shivering.
Strange I thought, so not only is the garden frozen by cold but also frozen in time. This could be a challenge.
"Then we need to unfreeze them for you. " I looked around to see if others agreed.
Demoss was ready. "Let me start my weed eater." He began sharpening his weapon.
"And other cold creatures have startedded to spawn. Itt may not be safe much longer." Seeing we were not worried, she walked to the door. "Please come I will show you.
Once in the city of Makoto-Jima, Rose lead us to her garden. It was close to the shore line. "As you see my garden is frozen."
We not only saw that but creatures from cold lands...flurries, ice worms, ladies of the snow, and Ice Demoness and Demons. All of which were determined to kill us.

With the Defeat of the Frost King, the garden warmed up and the roses began to bloom...a strange ice blue. "Thank you all!" Rose called picking a rose. "Now it will warm up and my flowers will survive.
"Your garden should be okay now." I told her with a smile.
Rose opened a gate for us. "Thank you all for you help. Here is a moongate back."
Trinidaddy bowed to her. "Anything for a pretty lady."
When we arrived at the hall, we found a vase with a rose waiting. Its rich fragrance a filling the room. 30.jpg

Voucher that can only use for a specific time range.
• is it possible to have a voucher that can only use for a specific time range.
for example they can only use it at 1am to 12noon?
so i can encourage users to avail that voucher if i make it cheaper than a regular vouchers.
then i can also minimize the users in peek hours
• Would be something you'll have to add in /etc/inc/voucher.inc…
Altho I don't know how to recode it (lol), I'm thinking like maybe you could add a code w/c checks for the voucher's description.
Then it checks for the system time and compares the description (properly formatted) and either marks the code valid or not.
Else, if the description is non-schedule format, it proceeds as a regular voucher.
Then when creating voucher rolls you should make a formatted description for the code to read. GOOD LUCK!
• hope there is a super programmer who can help me about this.
• I have an idea that could work provided your access point supports multiple ssid and vlans and optionally has a scheduler to configure when those ssid are active. I'm going to assume your ap supports this as consumer grade ap has no place in what you're doing.
The gist of it would be having another interface on pfsense with it's own captive portal and unique vouchers and then use either firewall rules to only allow net access via the scheduler at non busy times or completely disable that ssid inside the busy hours using the ap's scheduler.
The only real downside to this approach is you would only be able to create a finite amount of extra ssid for off peak only networks. Hopefully you don't need more then your equipment can handle.
• Actually, its doable without having 2 separate wifi-networks that the user needs to keep track of, instead you have 2 wifi-APs that will broadcast the same network name, but both AP's switch between each other so only one AP is active at same time.
First you create a Wifi AP, that is active only off-peak hours.
This Wifi AP, is connected to a captive portal (A) that allows BOTH peak-voucher and nonpeak-voucher.
Then you create a Wifi AP, with the same name that is active only on peak hours.
This Wifi AP, is connected to a captive portal (B) that allows ONLY peak-voucher
(A) and (B) portals needs to have same public and private key. (and of course all other settings need to be identical too)
On the (A) portal, you create 2 rolls, lets say rollid 1 and rollid 2
On the (B) portal, you create only rollid 1
Vouchers from rollid 1 you sell as peak vouchers (expensive)
Vouchers from rollid 2 you sell as nonpeak vouchers (cheap)
On more expensive AP's you can create these as separate VLANs so you still only need one cable to your pfSense box, and then you create 2 "virtual" interfaces on pfSense, that you then tie to your captive portals.
Theres 2 small disadvantages with this option:
1: The user can reuse a used peak-voucher during non-peak time. (But this can be used as a selling point, eg peak voucher gives 1 hour surf at peak times and a additional 1 hour free surf on non-peak)
2: both Peak and non-Peak users gets disconnected and have to relogin when the system switch between peak and non-peak. (This can be seen as a advantage if you want non-peak users to be kicked out when system switches to peak, even if they have time left on their voucher)
(Note: Try this out before starting selling vouchers, so you see that this fit your particular situation)

Biography:
Dr. James Scarry went to Kent State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in social studies. Upon graduation he continued his education at Kent State, earning his Master’s Degree in Modern German History with a thesis on "Relations Among the Nazi Elite During World War II: Competition for Power and Succession" in 1986. For several years, Dr. Scarry worked as a substitute teacher and in retail management before deciding to pursue his doctorate in the History of U.S. Foreign Relations at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. He became Dr. Scarry in 1998 following the completion of his dissertation "The Berlin Crises of 1958 and 1961: Eisenhower, Kennedy and American Cold War Foreign Policy" which focused on the differing approaches of the two presidents to handling comparable challenges.
During the academic year of 2001-2002, Dr. Scarry taught on a Fulbright Grant at the University of Turku in Finland and traveled to Stockholm, Talinn, Riga, Saint Petersburg, and Berlin. After returning to the States, Dr. Scarry accepted a position as Assistant Professor of History at Shorter College in Rome, Georgia for four years. At Shorter Dr. Scarry was responsible for teaching most of the American History courses as well as coordinating the department’s senior thesis program, advising the History Club, Eta Pi Sigma, and directing the school’s museums and archives. He also initiated an annual symposium on topics of history and political science, which included topics such as the Holocaust and terrorism, and helped organize and lead a study abroad trip to Israel.
Since coming to Waldorf in 2009 as an assistant professor and chair of the History Department, Dr. Scarry has been active in teaching the World Civilizations sequence as well as a wide variety of upper division courses. Despite his teaching and administrative loads Scarry has continued studying and expanding his understanding of history. In 2011 he presented a paper at the Missouri Valley History Conference in Omaha titled “On the Front Lines of the Cold War: Iowans Reactions to Khrushchev’s Visit in 1959” and traveled to the United States Military Academy in New York to participate in the “West Point Summer Seminar in Military History” alongside scholars from across the United States, Turkey, Australia, the United Kingdom and Lithuania.
While not teaching, Dr. Scarry enjoys listening to a wide range of music from classical, jazz, folk, and rock. He also likes performing in the theatre and has appeared in shows such as “Carousel,” “Mame,” “HMS Pinafore,” “Come Blow Your Horn, “The Silver Whistle,” and in 2010 a student directed production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” Other interests include photography, model building, woodworking and his dog, Dickens. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ad9268e5d25a3fb48c6ecb2142563b69b8e159f284fad028915aa85874483b6f'} |
Instructions for Ultrasonic Testing
Instructions for ultrasonic testing of gold bullion and silver bars
1. Getting Started
1.1 Insert 4 AAA batteries in the battery compartment.
1.2 Plug the sensor cable into the two sensor jacks (7).
1.3 Press the power key (3) to turn the unit on.
1. Ultrasonic sensor
2. Coupling indicator
3. Power key
4. Calibration key
5. mm/inch key
6. Calibration block
7. Sensor jacks
8. Velocity key
9. Plus / Minus keys
Velocities of Precious Metals
Gold – 3240 m/s
Silver – 3650 m/s
2. Calibration
2.1 Drop a small amount of coupling gel on the 5 mm standard calibration block (6).
2.2 Press the calibration key (4). `CAL` will be shown on the display.
2.3 Gently press the ultrasonic sensor (1) on the calibration block (6). The coupling indicator (2) will be displayed when the sensor is coupling well. 5.0 mm (or 0.197 inch) and CAL will flash on the display in turn. When consistent, press the calibration key (4) to confirm the calibration. The unit is now ready to measure.
2.4 The calibration will be auto-saved to the unit once confirmed. It is not necessary to calibrate often unless the accuracy of any measurement appears doubtful.
3. Measuring by Velocity
3.1 Press the velocity key (8) and the display shows the previous sound velocity setting.
3.2 To measure thickness by known velocity: The velocity is set by pressing the plus key or minus key (9) to input the value of the known sound velocity of the metal being tested. Refer to the table of velocities adjacent. The increment is 10 m/s for each press of the plus or minus key. The increment is raised to 100 m/s when the key is depressed for 4 seconds. By adjusting velocity, the thickness of any precious metal can be measured.
3.3 Once velocity has been set, drop a small amount of coupling gel onto the metal bar being tested and press the sensor (1) onto the surface. When the sensor is coupling well, the reading displays the thickness of the metal. For embossed or irregular surfaces you may need to be patient to get a good coupling. Compare the result with the known thickness of the metal as determined by a ruler, callipers or product specifications. If there is a significant difference between the result and the known thickness, the metal bar should be assessed for adulteration.
3.4 If you have known good bars composed of alloys, you can determine their sound velocities by adjusting the plus and minus keys until the displayed result matches the known thickness of the bar. Record the sound velocity for the alloy and then use it as a standard to test the authenticity of unknown bars of the same alloy. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.832889199256897}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '47428', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:G2DOQRGCFIL25TA3N3FOID7HZEK5CMO2', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a464e2ad-ea38-4f37-8b64-05335d1af52c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 20, 22, 21, 49), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.54.119.161', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:IMNDS42F5ZQRA37SLXSXC6EPQAT3X5RR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c08d7170-3e91-4452-8c08-3ff89550ccc9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://testyourgold.com/instructions-to-use-ultrasonic-testing/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:306eccef-7208-4f40-bc6e-96d69fbefa19>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '444', 'url': 'https://testyourgold.com/instructions-to-use-ultrasonic-testing/', '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': '0.019124388694763184', 'original_id': '58112cb8802c37cfc111fec2ec850bd47808ad7c2878294e9f25b8cf42bc0335'} |

Ray Kurzweil’s plan for immortality is missing one thing: you

Ray Kurzweil’s plan for immortality is missing one thing: you
By Jon Rappoport
In a Wired interview (11/18/02), leading transhumanist and Google’s director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil, spoke about living forever. He was asked: “Will you have your entire body preserved or just your head?”
The usual method of preservation, upon physical death, is freezing. Then, when the technology exists, sometime later, there would be the unfreezing and the reanimation. The dead person would come back to life…
Kurzweil said: “I think there’s some part of our identity and valuable information in our bodies. There’s more in our brains, but there’s some in our bodies as well. It gets into some technical issues. There’s a better way of preserving the brain, which they haven’t been able to do with the whole body yet. The vitrification process, which does a better job of preserving structural integrity in the cells, they do with the head but not with the body. At any rate, I’d go for the grade A plan.”
Kurzweil would apparently have his brain and body preserved, for future reanimation.
There is, of course, an underlying question:
What about consciousness?
Assuming the technology will exist to “bring back” the body and the brain, will the consciousness of being alive exist? Or will the process reinstitute something entirely mechanical?
Mechanical, as in: “The car was sitting in the garage on blocks for 50 years, and then we fixed it and made it start again.”
Biologists and physicists are bothered by the “consciousness question.” When they discuss it, they assume the brain produces consciousness because, well, where else could awareness come from? In other words, they resort to unscientific circular reasoning.
At the same time, they assert that the basis for all matter and energy in the universe is tiny particles; none of those particles have consciousness; and the particles make up the brain; the brain is composed entirely of those non-conscious particles.
This is called a trap. Hard scientists have no reason to assume consciousness exists at all. Yet it does exist. That implies consciousness is coming from somewhere other than the brain, somewhere other than particles—but according to these scientists, that “other somewhere” doesn’t exist.
So they retreat back into “consciousness is in the brain”—even though by their own science, it isn’t.
Preserving body and brain in a state of suspended animation, and then bringing it back, would not, according to a proper reading of their own science, bring back consciousness.
What would come back is some sort of mechanical functioning, and nothing else.
A conscious Ray Kurzweil would never come back.
His body and brain might hum again, like an old car that was fixed, but that’s all.
People continue to argue, of course, that in some very complex way the brain causes consciousness, we just don’t know how yet, but we’re getting there. That’s not evidence. That’s a naked assumption. They may as well be saying the moon is surely made of cheese and one day we’ll prove it, so for now just accept it.
“Well, folks, we just brought back Ray Kurzweil from fifty years of suspended animation. Remember him? He was a futurist at Google, or the CIA, it’s hard to tell which. Apparently the two organizations were one. Anyway, Ray is back.”
“Wonderful. Is he talking?”
“There is brain activity. No talking yet.”
“Is he looking at anything?”
“We assume so. His eyes are open. Also, his hands are opening and closing.”
“Is he gesturing?”
“It’s theoretically possible.”
“Is he conscious?”
“Of course. There is brain activity.”
“Well, there could be brain activity without consciousness.”
“Where did you pick up that idea? Are you crazy? He’s conscious. That’s all there is to it.”
“Maybe there is no ‘he’. There are just electrical signals.”
“Idiot. Life is electrical signals. What else could life be?”
“Life could be conscious, as in ‘hello I’m alive and I’d like to take a walk and look at the clouds and read a book and here’s an interesting passage on page ten, let’s discuss it’.”
“What’s your name again? Guards, take this man to the re-education center. He’s lost his basic programming…”
Ray, your reanimated brain and body aren’t going to bring back conscious-you. (You might reincarnate in a quite different way, but that’s a different story for another time…)
But don’t despair. In the future, when there are 10,000 brains and bodies in a warehouse, and technology allows them to be reactivated, they might, combined, generate enough electricity to run, say, a toaster, a refrigerator, and an oven in a micro apartment in San Francisco.

Wacky Wheels Game
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" and "Space bar".
Wacky Wheels is a personal computer based arcade lawnmower racing game released by Apogee in 1994. It strongly puts the emphasis on fun instead of realism, both in looks and gameplay. You can choose between one of eight possible animals as a pilot to race with. While racing, players can collect hedgehogs, bombs and other objects that can be used to shoot or distract opponents. The game features both single and multiplayer play, with splitscreen or modem. In multiplayer mode, 2 human players can either race against each-other, or battle in special arenas where the sole purpose is to hit the opponent a certain number of times with hedgehogs. This last gaming mode, called "Wacky shoot-out" is similar to the classic deathmatch mode from shooting games. The game was and still is distributed as shareware, with only a few characters and courses active. Registration is required to unlock the remaining characters and courses. Wacky Wheels was not the first game to feature this type of gameplay, now known as go-kart racing. An earlier go-kart racing game is Mario Kart. Around the time Wacky Wheels was released, Skunny Kart for which its developer Copysoft used the Wacky Wheels engine (causing a legal wrangle), was also released. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '7', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9662159085273744}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '16990', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GSS5CRTYQVD3GWDJ5T2AJKOD3XLMBYUC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8438c7dd-6cfc-4407-afe6-adb40629824b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 26, 23, 46, 20), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.31.82.9', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SFN2ABTVCU5CYO24IDOBCC7FK3WUBLGB', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0185092d-ef14-416f-b24f-2e5e7b26e030>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.classicgames.me/wacky-wheels.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dc6e6ed0-fa68-452b-aa7a-a9d9da6c93db>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '225', 'url': 'https://www.classicgames.me/wacky-wheels.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-09\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2017\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.059176504611968994', 'original_id': 'b6abd5223c968d4c10336442be71e0d8629c9dc81817ada28c69bd454627029a'} |

Crime on Campus Declines
by Robert Sanders, Public Affairs
Crime on the Berkeley campus continues to fall, with the total number of crimes reported to the FBI in 1997 down 10 percent from 1996, according to a recent campus police department report.
Overall crime on campus, which includes both property crime and violent crime, has been on the decline since 1990, marred only by a slight blip upward in 1995. This matches a national trend, according to Captain Patrick Carroll of the campus Police Department.
"We're way down from rates in the late 1980s, primarily because of greater public awareness and public education about how to protect yourself from being a victim, particularly of property crime," Carroll says.
The campus' own education efforts to combat property crime include crime prevention teams that meet with students in the residence halls, fraternities and sororities, and staff groups, as well as conducting individual security surveys.
Carroll also credits an increase in the number of officers on campus, particularly those assigned to foot and bicycle patrol, as well as an increased use of the campus's free night escort service and free night safety shuttle service. A "building liaison program" also assigns officers to one or more buildings that they patrol regularly in the campus equivalent of community policing.
"This gives people a face and a name for when they have something to report," Carroll says. "I think these programs have had a big impact."
Reported property crime in 1997 dropped 10 percent from 1996, and was down nearly one-third from the number reported five years ago, in 1992.
The only significant increase was in the number of aggravated assaults, largely because of incidents at People's Park involving individuals not associated with the university.
While there were no assaults in the park in 1996, there were five in 1997, bringing the total number of aggravated assaults on campus property to 14 - six more than 1996.
Only two of the 14 assaults actually occurred on the central campus, with the remainder reported at a variety of off-campus locations. Four students and one Berkeley police officer were among the victims. The most unusual weapon was a computer printer, which was used to strike one of the victims over the head.
The increase in aggravated assaults helped boost the number of violent crimes above last year's total, to 33 from 25, reversing a downward trend seen in the previous three years.
With regard to other violent crime, for the fifth year in a row there were no homicides on campus. Two rapes were reported in 1997 - the same number as in 1996 - and no attempted rapes.
Robberies were up by two from last year, for a total of 17, including two attempted robberies. Nine students were victims of robbery in 1997, compared to seven in 1996.
Overall, the number of students who were victims of violent crime doubled, from seven in 1996 to 15 in 1997.
Considering that the daily campus population is around 45,000 - the size of a small town - the crime rate is very low, Carroll points out. Violent crime in particular is almost negligible compared to urban areas or the state as a whole.
"The campus is a relatively safe place," Carroll says. "When people exercise good judgment, when they're aware and report suspicious activity, it contributes to creating a safe environment."

California sex offender hid in Cedar City for 20 years, police say
CEDAR CITY — A lost cellphone led police to a California man who they say was avoiding a lifelong order to register as a sex offender by hiding out in Cedar City for 20 years.
A sheriff's deputy responded to a call on March 30 about a cellphone and other property that had been found near Comstock Road in Cedar City and discovered that it belonged to Gary Albritton, said Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower.
"The phone had some disturbing things on it," Gower said.
The phone's information led deputies to a former employer, who identified Albritton through a photograph saved on the phone, Gower said. Investigators discovered Albritton is a non-compliant sex offender who had previously been incarcerated in California. Police did not provide information about Albritton's criminal history.
Investigators were still looking into how Albritton stayed hidden for 20 years, though the plan included sending all his mail to a business address, Gower said.
Albritton, 57, has been in Cedar City for 20 years, which leads police to worry there may be victims in the area.
"We don't know this guy's activity. Obviously he flew under the radar for that many years," Gower said. "There's always a chance there's a victim there that could come forward now."
Albritton was arrested Wednesday for investigation of failure to register as a sex offender and for a minor traffic warrant.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Iron County Sheriff's Office at 435-867-7500. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '2996c29a61fde76e68d482a3297bae8adcd4d355690d3ecf2b85d3716d026f3c'} |

Www Loan Pick Up Com Log In, How Payday Loans Typically Work
These businesses are much like a regular bank. The main difference is because they can get you money in just a day. Some of them will require two days, but this is still much faster than you will ever expect a lending institution to become. The approval process is really what takes the longest, and as soon as you submit the application, many people have experienced results within a few hours. The exact amount that you simply request may play a sizable role within your approval or denial, an issue that we are going to discuss next.
How Much Cash Do You Need?
How much cash that you need will be different based on the number of bills that you have springing up. For example, you may have to use a few hundred dollars to paying utility bill, or perhaps a phone bill, each of which can be in jeopardy to be switched off. The fees that you simply will pay to put everything returning to normal could total several hundred dollars, sometimes more than the expense of a brief-term loan. This is what motivates people to talk to these businesses that can provide this type of service, and by seeking only what exactly you need, you happen to be boosting your probability of getting usage of these funds.
Where You Can Submit Your Application
A few of these companies will probably be located in your city, perhaps just across the block where you work, or perhaps where you live. In the event you prefer speaking with a genuine person, you will find a representative at work where you can seek advice, plus they can help you with all the application. The application form process is a lot more efficient once you accomplish this online, and this will be submitted digitally to the people that will approve it or perhaps not. The bottom line is to inquire about under you will have on your own next paycheck that can allow them to have the confidence to lend you the money since they will know that you will have the financial way to pay them back. Remember, you're not simply making payment on the loan off, but the interest that might be do, and thus attempt to borrow money based on these amounts. After the application is submitted, it takes 12 hours, perhaps a little bit more, and you should hear something the following day.
The goal of by using a company like Loan Pick Up.com payday advance is to ensure that you will be not ruining your credit when you are late on the payment. Additionally, you should also rely on them in order to avoid any charges that may arise in case you are not able to pay your bill causing items to be switched off. These businesses do charge a higher interest, a thing that generally everyone knows, but it is actually less in many cases than the fee for reinstating services and paying penalties which typically accompany missing a payment on certain types of bills. That's why people gravitate toward these lenders which are far more efficient at lending money than the usual typical bank or lending institution, and why they may have become quite popular throughout the years. Just find the corporation online, submit the application, and in one day, perhaps less, you are going to actually have enough money that you desire. Www Loan Pick Up Com Log In

Stem Cell Therapy in Lockport
Chronic Pain Lockport IL Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy in Lockport is useful because as the body ages over time, our natural ability to produce stem cells, as well as their effectiveness is diminished. As we age, the body produces a fraction of the number of stem cells it used to and our ability to quickly bounce back from injuries is lost. This doesn’t happen overnight, as such nagging aches and pains that don’t simply go away start developing, and before long life of chronic pain can become the norm.
What is Stem Cell Therapy in Lockport
A stem cell is basically any cell that can replicate and differentiate. This means the cell can not only multiply, it can turn into different types of tissues needed to heal damaged tissue or organs. These adult stem cells are undifferentiated dormant cells. This means they will do nothing unless they witness some level of tissue injury. It's tissue injury that turns them on. So, when a person has an injury or a degenerative type of problem, the stem cells are drawn to the area of need and stimulate the healing process.
Why Choose Our Clinic?
Chicago Anti-Aging Institute is part of a national clinical trial for stem cell therapy. What this means for you as a patient is that you can get clinical data of success rates of the condition you want to be healed. Additionally, you can be assured that the standard of care that being part of a clinical trial brings.
Are Stem Cells Safe?
Stem cells are harvested under sterile conditions using a special "closed system" technology so that the cells never come into direct contact with the environment throughout the entire process from removal to deployment. Sterile technique and antibiotics are also used to prevent infection.
Patients have their fat harvested in our special sterile treatment facility under a local anesthetic. The fat removal procedure lasts approximately twenty minutes. Specially designed equipment is used to harvest the fat cells and less than 100cc of fat is required. Postoperative discomfort is minimal and there is minimal restriction on activity.
No. Only adult "mesenchymal" stem cells are used. These cells are capable of forming bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, ligaments, blood vessels, and certain organs. Embryonic stem cells are associated with ethical considerations and limitations.

Advisors · Advisory boards
Has anyone used ExecRank to source advisors or find advisory roles?
David Berkowitz Tech-Savvy Marketer, Marketing-Savvy Technologist
August 24th, 2015
I recently got a pitch from ExecRank which helps companies find board members and advisors, and then has members pay about $200/month to search for open board seats and network with other members. I'm skeptical of the model and am more focused on supporting companies I'm already working with right now, but I am curious to hear if anyone's used them and what that experience has been like.
[Update: The answers here are astounding and should give anyone pause before spending any time or money with ExecRank and the like. Thanks all for continuing to share your experiences.]

Hi Everyone,
Somehow I missed many of the prior updates since March till now. I also promised to update the group about my experience with ExecRank.
I joined ExecRank the 1st week of Jan. As of this month, I have downgraded my membership (till next month). Yes, they do have a downgraded membership not advertised on the website from what I can see. Maybe it's new.
In the last 5 months, I had somewhere between 40-50 board opportunities opened. Not one interview to date. I actually have tracked all opportunities on a spreadsheet and where in the 5 step process (with dates) that ExecRank has before application goes to the interview stage. Once I started to get visibility to how long it took for my application to move from 1 stage to another, I started to call various managers/directors at ExecRank to get answers why it took so long.
I also had a problem with lack to transparency (except for canned generic emails) in ExecRank with those of us who are footing the bill for ExecRank to stay in business. I also had a problem with why the companies seeking board members have nothing at stake $$, have no incentives to move forward in a reasonable fashion and to eliminate those not serious.
Some of the things I found out when I probed deeper, especially why the process took so long once an application was "under review," I was told that ExecRank sends as many as 100 applications for one opportunity. No wonder why no one is getting any interviews! ExecRank does nothing to really match or select "best fit" candidates for board opportunities from what I can see. I have no clue on where their value add is.
Final comment ... I did an experiment and actually signed up as a company seeking board advisors. Again I was curious why it took so long. I did not carry the experiment all the way. I got a flurry of broadcast emails about the various advisor days. Beyond that I did not see any attempt to engage me into the process as a company seeking board members.
I will be canceling at mid June in keeping with their cancellation requirements. Hope my experience was helpful for someone.

Sarah Oliver,
It appears that Jonathan Aspature, Chairmen & CEO at Exec Rank is a member of your board since 2014. I Might be looking too much into this, but something seems off to me by that and your comments.

To add to what others have said — I consider it a scam. I was approached by one of their agents, named David Kavrell. I got a highly scripted presentation that claimed I was an ideal candidate, would get all sorts of offers, etc. At no point was I asked if I had any questions, just went straight to the closing.
I had a question, however. I wanted to know why they used a subscription model of $200/month, rather than the more traditional model whereby they take a commission from successful matches. This question obviously upset him, as he quickly turned defensive, and made a rather obvious attempt at the whole “withdraw the offer” sales tactic.
That ended our call, but I got a really friendly email afterwards about how much he had enjoyed our conversation, and encouraging me to follow through. I then had a brief email exchange with him, which I am sharing here, verbatim, for everyone else:
My Email Response and Proposal
Dear David,
I am writing to let you know that I will no be signing up for ExecRank, at least not based on the pitch you made. And I wanted you to know the reasons.
I could go into the online research I've done about ExecRank, which has revealed a rather incredible level of unhappiness from past users. However, I wish to take a different approach.
I asked you one question during our talk, a question that I consider critical to this whole equation -- your income model. You make money exclusively from signing up members for your services. You do not make money from actually placing them successfully on a board.
And that means one thing -- that your sales must be driven by signing up as many members as possible, regardless of the actual qualifications, experience, or ability of those people. In fact, when I looked at the complaints that some of the people had about your site, I found that many of them were dreadfully unqualified, and highly unlikely to ever be considered for a position on a board of directors -- but they'd received the same sales pitch I did, promising all sorts of wonderful things.
Now, in our interview, you said that you were confident that with my background and experience, I could get board positions. And I do think that I have valuable and unique experience and knowledge to offer, especially to those interested in doing business in China.
So here is my proposal: I don't pay you a cent. You guys help me craft my resume, and you guys present it to all those thousands of boards that you claim to have lined up. And for every board position that you successfully place me on, I will pay you a commission of 20% of the value of the first year's salary for that position.
Now, according to your own sales pitch, I should be expecting to be getting at least $50,000 per year from each board position. 20% of that would be $10,000. Which would be equal to four years of membership fees at $200/month. If you get me two such positions, that's $20,000 for you guys. That's a shitload more money than you will ever make from charging me a $200 monthly membership fee.
Here's the thing -- If you truly believe that my qualifications are suitable, and that you can find me board positions, there is no reason whatsoever not to accept my proposal. The only reason not to accept it is that you are, in fact, not confident of your ability to get me a role on a board of directors.
And if you are not confident in your ability to do so, why the hell would I pay you $200/month?
His Response
Thank you for your well thought out and thoroughly explained proposal. You are entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong. The reason we can not do as you asked is that it would be unfair to our current 10,000 members. I am sure that you can understand that. There are many reasons for people to write bad reviews, but I will leave you with just one thought. We are a month to month model, why would we do that if by letting you on and giving you access to all of our members you could find out how miserable they are?
I wish you all the best, but to determine not to proceed because of what a bunch of strangers say seems illogical to me.
Thank you for your time.
My Conclusions
His response only confirms my opinion. His claim that my proposal would be “unfair” to their members is patently nonsense — how is it “unfair” to pay a company for actual results, compared to paying them a monthly fee even if they do nothing whatsoever for you? Not to mention that the model I proposed is one that is used by hundreds of companies, and I don’t hear people complaining that it is unfair.
“If you get me results, I pay you. If you don’t get me results, I don’t pay you.” How is that “unfair”?
Then there’s the fact that, both in our phone call and in this email response, he fails entirely to address the question of why I should trust him, given that the company’s obvious business model is to sign up as many people as possible, regardless of their qualifications, since that is the only way that they can make money!
He also obviously misses the irony in criticizing me for listening to “what a bunch of strangers say”, while simultaneously expecting me to believe him — a stranger who profits from getting me to buy his service.
As I emphasized in my email to him, were this company’s services legitimate, and were they confident in getting board positions for me (and their other clients), they’d be idiots not to use the pay model that I proposed, as they’d make far greater profits. They’d get far higher revenue, while also significantly decreasing the complaints from their clients. After all, who’s going to complain? If they’re not successful, I pay nothing — and have nothing to complain about. If they are successful, I pay them a previously agreed fee, and I have a board position — again, nothing to complain about.
The only reason for them not to use this model is that they know they cannot deliver on their promises.

Avoid as a potential advisor. Signed up for over a year, applied to dozens of opportunities, got contacted for one troll looking to raise money (but did not disclose in advance). Don't waste the time, money, and energy. They compile a list of stale opportunities and never follow up with you or the company. When they do contact the company, it's pretty much cold. Most "applications" just expire with no notification. Can find 2/3 of their "openings" by doing a Google search which is how I suspect they get most of their listings. Have requested proof they have done ANY work on my behalf...only want to give me the same sales pitch numbers they used at signup.

Very interesting. There was a recent post about ExitRound. The CEO stated that their business model was based on done deal transactions essentially. What I pointed out was that their business model is getting entrepreneurs to pay $99-$499 per month for their "algorithm" matching pitch process. They also stated they had 70 success stories in three years. With 4000 members that is a 1.7% success rate! (Perspective and wording) AND that is assuming those 4,000 members have stayed those three years. If they have had 12000 members revolve with membership in three years, that decreases to .5% success. NOT great numbers.
People don't always perceive situations with much thought. Think about it, Exit round is wanting you as an investor. That's all it is. They take your money and promise results. So if someone came to you right now and said "Hey Mr.S. Investor. I have a GREAT concept. We have had over 70 success stories ranging from $100,000 to $15M. You could be one of them. I just need you to invest $500 a month." The next question should be "What is your rate of success? is my chance of success." If they answered openly and honestly, it would be "Well Mr.S investor while people do win the a transaction.... Your personal rate of success based on our numbers is 1.7%. But its only $500 a month. YOU TOO COULD WIN THE PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE..if you buy a bunch of magazines" Who in their right mind thinks that is a good deal??
Good concept of matching but for all the positives of computers, algorithms etc..the numbers are poor. In this case, I would advise the entrepreneur to put in some personalized research and start reaching out..more direct...more intelligent and specified than any computer engineer could achieve. Maybe if you don't have the time, or if you have so much money you like to give it away..I don't know..but 1.7% success or less???
The results seemed similar to what Im reading here. I would be curious to know the numbers of ExecRank in terms of how many people they place. The concept of ExecRank could make a bit more sense, but at $200 a month? Seems steep.
These types of businesses truly are about them, not you, not your business. They generate revenue on the fact that they are open to EVERY one and not exclusive. Which that makes people feel good, and for some it obviously works. But I liken some of this to the Hollywood Agencies...and managers. The successful ones don't charge upfront. They only get paid upon successful transactions. The agents and managers who have no pull or little ability for success charge upfront. And while there are success stories here and there with them, for the most part they make money, and the people paying them lose money. $200 a month is a lot to pay to be lumped in with thousands of other people.

I just wanted to provide a bit more color on my experience. I just think that the business model is stacked against those that are paying the monthly fee. It is tempting for them to keep on telling you a meeting or placement is being worked on and is around the corner because they have your credit card. Services like this would be a lot more believable if they only took a success based fee and screened the prospective candidates better. As I signed up for it , I was concerned that it was a waste of time and money. And for me that is exactly what it turned out to be - and I gave it 3 months plus one more for the notice period.
Also, it feels like a "Board mill" with lots of messages and meetings in the works but no follow through.

I promised the group that I would keep an update. As of this month I have resigned from ExecRank. In my experience all that was happening was that I was signed onto prospective companies, but no interview. I had about 30 of them. When I said I was thinking of resigning all of a sudden there was a prospective company that sent an email exchange but it was clear that they were so early stage that "Advisor" was going to be "full time" work. Plus it was in the UK. The solution that was offered was to throw more prospective companies at me to raise the list. After 6 months it was going nowhere and interestingly on my own, through my own networks and branding I got multiple expressions of interest that have led to Board of Directorships and Advisory Boards. So I have resigned. Waste of time and money, but so be it.... The information flow was not what was needed, expected or appropriate.

I heard the pitch and was scratching my head as to why a potential advisor/board member would have to pay to find a potential company. As an advisor I bring a ton of value to those companies that I advise. Shouldn't this be the other way around?
They talk about board and advisory positions paying you for your services. This was a total red flag for me, I have done a number of startups and have been an advisor in a bunch, a startup can't afford to pay for an advisor and quite frankly that's not why advisors do what they do.
I don't think any site like this that asks for money is the right model.

Mercado's Column
Viewpoint : Governance by bile
Juan Mercado
Inquirer News Service
WHY does Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmena remind one of the late, unlamented Soviet dictator Nikita Khruschev?
No, it's not Nikita Sergeyevich's vodka-guzzling. Compared to this Ukrainian-born Russian metalworker's intake, the mayor's intake is a piker. And hasn't he been on the wagon?
Drinking triggered Khruschev's ouster. That a souse's had his finger on the triggers of nuclear missiles in Cuba scared the Politburo members witless. After they arrested Stalin's successor, they threw away the key to his dacha. Up to his death, seven years later, Nikita smudged his role in Stalin's murders.
Osmena denies a hand in Cebu's esquadrones de la muerte. These death squads surfaced after Osmena announced last December that cops who will "permanently disable any criminal" will get P20,000-bounties. The Catholic Church, lawyers and human rights groups protested "murder with a wink."
Since then, bonneted gunmen on motorbikes have killed 88 people. Most victims had police records. Some served time, but none for crimes that carried death penalties. No crime lord has been bagged. As expected, the police are clueless.
"Death squads shield sponsors from liability," notes the United Nations Working Group on the desaparecidos [the disappeared]. "An illusion of spontaneous violence provides plausible deniability."
But is "deniability" unraveling with Victim No. 88? Alemar Luna fired and hit one of his assassins. Thereafter, Osmena's security man and favorite police gunslinger--SPO1 Adonis Dumpit--disappeared.
Like Comelec's Virgilio Garcillano, Dumpit now prefers to stay in Davao Oriental(?). Necklaced with salvaging charges, the cop says he likes rural life. Osmena isn't eager to get his gunman back, any more than Khruschev wanted Lavrenti Beria around him. Cebu newspapers say gunshot wounds take time to heal.
Khruschev was a boor. As the Soviet Union's premier, he startled the 1960 UN General Assembly when he banged his shoe on a desk and screamed at Philippine Sen. Lorenzo Sumulong: kholuj stavelimik imperializna. (Translation: "jerk, stooge and lackey of imperialism.")
"We're going to make imperialists dance like fishes in a sauce pan," Kruschev told The New York Times. At a Kremlin reception, he fumed at Western diplomats: "We will bury you."
Osmena won't win the "Mr. Congeniality" award either. "Land grabber," he fumed at Talisay Mayor Eduardo Gullas. "We will beggar you." Gullas belatedly claimed 54 out of Cebu City's 295-hectare South Reclamation Project. This ill-advised claim delayed the issuance of titles.
That left Cebu City twisting in the wind with a P600-million annual bill, in interest alone, for the SRP yen-loan. That's over a quarter of City Hall's budget. Devaluation almost tripled repayments for a loan Osmena had bragged "Cebuanos wouldn't pay a single centavo for."
For over a decade, Osmena blacked out any mention of his loans--until the hemorrhage erupted. Today, the loan is crippling basic services. Cebu tops all local governments in liabilities, the latest Audit Commission report reveals.
"One of his legacies will be strapping every man, woman and child, who lives within city limits, with the country's biggest per capita debt repayment burden," noted Cebu Daily News.
Like Khruschev, Osmena relishes casting threats around and inflicting pain as policy instruments. He lashes out at those who think differently--in the Integrated Bar, university think tanks, business groups or the press.
He even lights into innocent by-standers, as his brawl with Gullas showed: He ejected Talisay vendors from Cebu's Carbon market. He fired an exemplary employee of 17 years from his traffic office. Reason: the man lived in Talisay. He has questioned, before the Court of Appeals, the law (RA 8979) elevating Talisay into a city.
The national government's P7.6 billion six-lane South Coastal Road is a major economic artery. But it passes Talisay. Osmena bars entry to the coastal road, thus disrupting traffic, classes, businesses for thousands. He issues passes for a road his city does not own.
With pastoral visits to southern parishes snarled, Sun Star Daily asked Ricardo Cardinal Vidal: "Didn't you get a pass, Your Eminence?" The prelate replied: "I'll use that road only when it is open to all."
Like Khruschev, Osmena swears by an eye-for-an-eye policy: use force, so opposition capitulates. With that approach, Mahatma Gandhi once said, all would end up blind.
"Force is enveloped in a paradox," a Royal Canadian Mounted Police guide on negotiation noted. "You cannot 'talk it out' after you've tried to 'take them out.'"
The wisest leaders make it easy for opponents to agree. They make ample use of third-party intermediaries. "Face-saving lies at the heart of the negotiations."
Whether responsible for a nation, like Khruschev, or a city, like Osmena, the leader must remember: the desired outcome is not victory but mutual satisfaction. Force is only used to educate, not to smash.
"The quiet revolution in local government is [the] crafting of partnership-based models," the World Bank notes. Governance by bile doesn't help cities confronted by exploding demands from growing numbers of indigents.
Centuries back, the brilliant military strategist Sun Tzu wrote: "The best general is the one who never fights." In today's lingo, that can be rewritten as: "The best crisis manager is the one who never assaults." But what if the leader's spleen is locked into overdrive? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.95071941614151}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '526420', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:NIX6IXF7YBZNPDU3G465W5AN2AI2L3QX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:6522f14b-65fb-4615-8e14-28c842c9e18d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 10, 21, 9, 53, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.193', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ZLEMW5VKYUU6UIU67PIG4VIXO7EV27BL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0080ef2e-c423-4c77-ac88-b27a03d54b0f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://dyab-business.blogspot.com/2005_08_25_archive.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d76aae7f-8c83-4c98-a218-3e5dd550cae2>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '839', 'url': 'http://dyab-business.blogspot.com/2005_08_25_archive.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-43\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-235.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03941148519515991', 'original_id': '0ebe3e08af5e74b1a6637d697db0a70953930ffe4087427736a48f7c8d3517af'} |
(the above link will take you to the video sermon on Facebook)
5.12.2019 Rev. Khalif Smith
“Who do you belong to?” was the question Pastor Khalif asks during this sermon. “How do we belong? What does it mean?” Those are harder questions to answer, and we often don’t consider them. This thought path was connected with last week’s examination of finding our social location, the things that shape our view of the world. When we can truly identify why we believe as we do and who we are, we can allow God to transform our vision to His vision and fully realize whose we are When we have done that, we can escape being “stuck” in our own beliefs and ideologies, the things we have long felt or been taught as true, and hear Christ calling us as His sheep, listening to His voice so we can follow Him as His true disciples. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9599778056144714}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '45666', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:DVYPDGM7L4WDR3TQ36FJSOHPQDSEEZYX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:73da4fb0-d86d-4774-8b83-fba939e0d8cd>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 14, 7, 27, 12), 'WARC-IP-Address': '35.225.163.212', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GACOETFILYTWJT6RRLXOF5V6ITWU53KM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:3db294f2-b57f-4290-b0ee-fd55bc87f9ff>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.tumclv.com/5-12-19-belonging-rev-khalif-smith/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:cce9fd48-7277-4431-bce1-cce5e989eccd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '148', 'url': 'https://www.tumclv.com/5-12-19-belonging-rev-khalif-smith/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-168.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.018321335315704346', 'original_id': 'f219eac827b87cf9b740b6cb8fac5177727b83f0f6f29ea8efdb2139ffbe3284'} |

Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
I have liked all of the Mission: Impossible movies so far to some degree. Maybe I'm just being taken in by the expensive special-effects, the slick camera work, or I'm just impressed with the way that they manage to make Tom Cruise look way taller than he actually is. I know the stunts are really spectacular in most of these movies, and the reason they are is usually because Tom actually does his own stunts with limited CG help. This movie is no exception to that rule.
There isn't really much to say about Tom Cruise in this movie. He pretty much plays the same character, runs into similar issues, and gets out of them with alacrity and cunning. From that perspective, the movie is written pretty well. With the spy movies, you have to stick your hero in bad positions, make him do odd things, and eventually come out on top. Well, that's exactly what happens in this movie. I don't think anyone is surprised.
I wonder if the resemblance between this film's female lead, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tom Cruis' ex-wife Katie Holmes caused anyone a bit of concern. I suppose Tom has been at this long enough that he could deal with the coincidental similarities between the two women, but I have no idea how Scientology may wind up being involved in this, so I can't rule anything out. Rebecca plays a British field agent who helps Tom out with his issues… Well, she helps his character out with his issues. Tom has to deal with his own issues in real-life, and that shouldn't be her problem.
Returning for this movie in the roles that they've been playing for the past few movies from the series are Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames. I was actually pretty surprised that Simon Pegg's role was as large as it wound up being. I think Simon might be getting tired of being comic relief in these kinds of movies, and he might be looking for more serious roles. I'm not saying he can't do it, but he should really stick to what he's good at.
Unlike a lot of action movies, these movies rely on a fairly complicated plot with some kind of significant twist. Much like an M. Night Shyamalan movie however, you start to anticipate the twist, so it's not really surprising when it happens. You can really only go into that bag so many times before people know what's coming out. What? Four people we know go into a room and one of them needs to confess or the whole plot falls apart? Well, I guess this is where we stick in one of those rubber masks that is an absolutely perfect disguise. Nope, never saw that coming.
Based on these numbers, I will be playing this
character until I'm 70.
Will they make another one of these? Yeah, probably. This movie cost $150 million to make and raked in $682 million just at the box office. When you can cash in that easily, you keep this train rolling. Honestly, given the budget of movies lately, $150 million seems kinda cheap. Yes, it might be six times the budget of the Transporter reboot, but I'm probably at least six times more likely to watch this movie.
Acting was very good
Effects were excellent
Action was very good
Story was sufficiently interesting
Cinematography was excellent

Another beer from my brother. This one sports a kind of insane, hallucinogenic tiger with rainbows coming out of its eyes. It's an IPA, so it already has a better shot at winning my heart than the coffee-based Survival Stout that I had yesterday. I certainly like a good IPA. West coast IPAs seem particularly good.
The hazy golden yellow beer has a nice head that loosely sticks to the sides of the glass and leaves a little bit of lacing to let you know it was there, but it decided to fall back into the liquid, and you should just deal with that. The floral hops put off a very faint aroma that is just about noticeable when you stick your nose right down in it. I expected a heavier hop smell from an IPA, but I won't let that put me off.
First sip is a healthy IPA. It's hops are very floral, and there is citrus there to balance things out a bit. The malt is cutting the bitterness with gusto while remaining in the background. There are hints of more complicated tastes, but the …
Don't watch this movie. Don't watch any of the previous movies, either. It's not that they are (strictly speaking) bad movies, but they are really, really intense and emotionally distressing, as there are so many scenes that are so damn hard to watch. I've seen every Saw movie. I have seen more serial killers, dismemberments, torture, and various abuse in movies than I can remember. I'd say that I've become generally desensitized to depictions of violence on the screen.
I saw the original 1978 I Spit on Your Grave many years ago, and I will admit that I only half-watched it while doing something else. It's been so long, I can't remember much of the movie beyond a vague recollection of violence and revenge.
I watched the remake from 2010, and that movie was very difficult to watch. The depiction of rape, castration, and various other very bad things was conceptually distressing and spiritually draining. However, it has been a few years, so the shock wore …
This review is going to be a little different from my usual movie reviews.
The Purge is a movie about an alternate version of the United States where one night a year they have an annual "purge" where violent people can purge themselves of their desire to hurt other people and the poor and homeless can be eliminated from public concern. Killing homeless people is encouraged. The main character, played by Ethan Hawke, is a salesman for a home security company whose home come under assault by a group of evildoers.
The issue I have with this security system that he installed, and that's what I'm going to be reviewing here. The system was described by Ethan as being 99% effective in testing, but it was not designed for worst case scenario. He casually mentioned that someone could tunnel underneath to get to them. Clearly, it didn't take that much. Let's look at his controls one by one.

How Much is an Average Wedding
The cost of doing a wedding has really jumped to an all-time new high, reaching an average of over thirty-one thousand dollars in 2014 as per the research that was done.
Surveying around sixteen thousand American couples, a study done by the knot also found that forty-five percent of weddings done exceed the budget a couple had planned for worse is that, twenty-three percent of the couples that do a wedding lack a budget altogether. Over a thousand dollars was spent by brides on wedding dresses only showing how extravagant it has become to do weddings.
The flipside of it is that guest lists are reducing in number while the wedding costs are increasing. As per the research done by Knot an average wedding currently has less than 136 guests. In America the cheapest place to do a wedding was found to be in Utah where couples spent only fifteen thousand dollars while the most expensive place was found to be Manhattan as the average wedding cost was found to be not less that seventy thousand dollars.
As by 2014, the average wedding cost was found to be not less than thirty-one thousand dollars a 4.5 percent increase compared to the previous years and that doesn’t include the cost of honeymoons. This research was also done by Knot. The cost of also attending weddings has also shot up to $673 as by 2015 a sharp 14 percent increase compared to 2014 which was at $592.
The attendees’ cost includes dining out, dressing up, hotel and airfare as well as a gift. The average member of the groom or bridal’s party is also spending not less than $701 a sharp increase compared to previous years.
In the end it has been found the overall wedding has become expensive even though the number of guests has reduced compared to previous years.

The “Heart” of Science
New challenges in cardiovascular research
Aging is an inevitable part of life and unfortunately poses the largest risk factor for cardiovascular disease.The heart undergoes continual remodelling in response to fluctuations in functional demand. Autophagy also plays a critical role in cell homeostasis, which is reflected in myocardial aging changes. There are several key genes that are involved in the regulation of cardiovascular health, including sirtuins, AMP-activated protein kinase, mammalian target of rapamycin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (Figure 1).
Pathological hemodynamic overloading (e.g., hypertension and myocardial infarction) and unloading (e.g., prolonged bed rest and ventricular assist device) induce a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In 2012, the WHO highlighted that more than 30% of the global population die because of CVDs (with the majority due to coronary heart disease and stroke). Smoking, chronic stress, high blood pressure, and diabetes are the most common factors for cardiovascular disease.
At present we have new capabilities and resources that can help to study the heart and its mechanism.
Figure 1. Age-associated changes in cardiovascular tissue.
New gene regions associated with high blood pressure
One of the latest discoveries relates to new genes associated with high blood pressure (hypertension) (1). Hypertension is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and death worldwide. The main factors contributing to hypertension are genetics and lifestyle factors such as diet, weight, alcohol consumption, and exercise. Scientists have found that high expression levels of 107 new gene regions in cardiovascular tissue or blood vessels can identify at-risk patients. Researchers tested over 9.8 million genetic variants from 420,000 UK Biobank participants and cross-referenced these with their blood pressure data. By using genetic tests, doctors can tailor proper treatment for individual patients.
iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and their markers panel
Human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes help scientists to build human cellular models and accelerate their research. The use of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes as an in vitro research model has a major advantage over primary cells as they provide a continuous source of cardiomyocytes of the same genetic background for use in multiple sets of experiments. iPSC cardiomyocytes cells are a great tool for cardiotoxicity tests, drug screening, drug validation, and electrophysiology applications. Many in vitro iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes models display spontaneous cells beating and are fully defined by the cardiac-specific markers panel (such as cardiac troponin or ANKRD1). The measurement of Cardiac troponin I and Cardiac troponin T levels in serum is superior in regard to sensitivity and specificity to cardiac muscle enzyme measurements in the identification of heart muscle damage. Raised cardiac troponin concentrations are now accepted as the standard biochemical marker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (2).
Mature heart muscle cells from stem cells
Scientists are already able to generate mature and viable heart muscle from human or animal stem cells and implant them to newborn animals (3). Stem cells grown in lab dishes are not able to turn on genes needed for maturation, but growing them in a live animal enables the differentiation into cardiomyocytes. In this case, the hearts of host animals supply the biological signals and chemistry needed by the implanted immature heart muscle cells to progress and overcome the developmental blockade that traditionally stops their growth in laboratory conditions.
Advances in tissue engineering and heart regeneration
Since the heart cannot regenerate muscle tissue after a heart attack, part of the muscle wall is killed. The dead tissue can strain the surrounding muscle, leading to lethal heart enlargement. Researchers have grown heart tissue by seeding a mix of human cells onto a 1-micron-resolution scaffold made with a 3-D printer (4). The cells organized themselves in the scaffold to create engineered heart tissue that began beating within one day of seeding, and the speed and strength of contractions increased significantly over the next week (5). When the human-derived heart muscle patch was surgically placed into a mouse heart after a heart attack, it significantly improved heart function and decreased the amount of dead heart tissue.
New scientific discoveries will give us an ability to further improve the current state of the modeling of heart disease and heart repair. A future challenge will be to adapt these discoveries to advance new patient treatments.
1. Genome-wide association analysis identifies novel blood pressure loci and offers biological insights into cardiovascular risk.
2. Measurement of cardiac troponins.
3. Neonatal Transplantation Confers Maturation of PSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Conducive to Modeling Cardiomyopathy.
4. From Microscale Devices to 3D Printing: Advances in Fabrication of 3D Cardiovascular Tissues.
5. Myocardial Tissue Engineering With Cells Derived from Human Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cells and a Native-Like, High-Resolution, 3-Dimensionally Printed Scaffold.

TDD Exam Questions
Last year I ran a three day in-house training on unit-testing and TDD using Eclipse. I wanted the course to be as interactive as possible to keep the attendees engaged all the time. Besides my slides I carried out exercises like Jason Gorman's TDD from Hell and played short movies to keep the content varied. At the end of each chapter I showed a slide with a few questions about the topic just covered. These questions gave the audience a break to recall the content just studied and reflect on it before moving on. I searched for such questions but did not find any, so I had to come up with my own.
These are my sanity-check questions. They are not complicated or long-winded, just simple questions to verify if the content was understood. Some questions also served as a base for further discussion. The developers in the audience were exposed to TDD for the very first time, so I kept them simple. If you are a seasoned developer I am sure these questions will not challenge you at all.
Writing ExamsUnit Testing with JUnit
• What is a test fixture?
• Which assert is used to compare the values of objects?
• What about assertTrue(true);?
• What about assertTrue(a.equals(b));?
• How to test for an expected exception?
• What about System.out.println(...); in tests?
• How to data-drive tests?
• How to time-out tests?
• How to test the contents of a private field? (This is a trap, the answer is not to test it but to change the design.)
• Does full code coverage mean the code is fully tested?
Test Driven Development
• What are the benefits of using TDD?
• Is TDD primarily a testing technique?
• When do you write tests? (This is a joke and the expected answer is "all the f*cking time" according to Bryan Liles' TATFT.)
• What should you do when you cannot add another test?
• If the code passes all the unit tests why should you still change (refactor) it?
• Why not refactor on a red bar?
Mocking and Test Doubles
• Why use stubs or mocks?
• How are objects called that are passed around but never actually used?
• How are objects called that can return fixed values in answer to calls made.
• How are objects called that can verify the behaviour of the system under test, in addition to using asserts to verify its state.
• What is used for testing state?
• What is used for testing behaviour?
• What is a spy?
• What is your favourite Refactoring?
• How do we refactor? (This is a word play and the expected answer is mercilessly.)
• Should Refactoring and adding new code be done at the same time?
• During Refactoring, how long does your code not compile?
• During Refactoring, when should we run the tests?
• What Refactoring can be used when a method is too long, has duplicated code or Feature Envy?
• What Refactoring can be applied to long parameter lists?
• In Eclipse, what do the short-cuts Alt-Shift-R, Alt-Shift-L and Alt-Shift-M do?
Working with Legacy Code
• What is Legacy Code?
• How can you break dependencies?
• What are Singletons and why are they evil?
• Do you write them?
Using these questions, small exercises and short movies I kept the participants fully engaged for a whole day of TDD theory. It was awesome!

How To Use Them In Your Game
1. These are amazing, I especially love that they can be turned. Now I'm imagining the players opening the door to the vault and a velveteen, bursting with loneliness, comes flying out like a gray streak and hugs one of the PCs' legs.
1. And the PCs then turn it? Or smash it? Or interrogate it (fruitlessly, because all they do is wiggle and play), and torture it before burning it to death?
2. Well done again. I keep thinking of Teddy Ruxpin.
3. Cute, and interesting, although I'm not entirely sure how the "nobles love them but the church actively hunts them down and destroys them" dynamic could remain stable for any significant length of time. Something's got to give, soon.
1. Nobles also love exotic drugs, fucking summoned succubi at parties, reading forbidden (and accurate) history books, and meddling in the divine rights of kings. They do these things, and there is instability, but they still do them. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '262', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9672049283981324}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '128744', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:UYRHFDISBEFFBCEMVM3WC5RUHFALDIOU', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:245faff9-45a8-4b5f-9cd3-840221be92a6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 16, 17, 40, 23), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.15.65', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:RAPOG33TCY6WPFHRFGYGWN5YQBSXS6X3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5fd2ab37-6c24-442d-819e-e611bda60174>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2015/11/velveteens.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f055d18f-92d8-479b-8c50-d7889f673f0d>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '478', 'url': 'https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2015/11/velveteens.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-09\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-156-82-108.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': '0.8840141892433167', 'original_id': 'fbb5ccacd54a58d26a166565fd3db837c08e18c3941ac20f49c2148ba206c954'} |

Exclusive: Darren Lockyer calls for independent doctors in NRL following HIA controversy
Sep 27th, 2019
Sep 27th, 2019
Rugby league legend Darren Lockyer has called for the NRL to revisit the HIA protocol and bring in the use of independent doctors after Canberra star Josh Hodgson was allowed to stay on the field following a head knock in the Raiders' 16-10 preliminary final win over the Rabbitohs.
Hodgson was arguably the best player afield for the first 40 minutes with several big defensive plays including a trademark one-on-one strip in the lead-up to the first try of the match.
However, according to Lockyer, Hodgson by that point should have been off the field for a HIA after a head knock appeared to briefly take effect on him in the early stages of the game.
Papalii with the dagger
Live blogging the match for Wide World of Sports, Lockyer was gobsmacked that Hodgson was allowed to stay on and wondered if the high stakes of assessing arguably the Raiders' most important player in their biggest game of the year had clouded the team doctor's judgment.
"Before Josh Hodgson turned the game the Raiders' way he copped a head knock and I thought he looked wobbly," Lockyer wrote late in the first half.
"I was surprised he didn't go off for a HIA. I think that will be a big talking point at the end of this game.
"For that reason, when a key player gets concussed, it puts too much pressure on the club doctors - the NRL needs to reconsider their stance on independent doctors. I would bring them in for sure."
Lockyer wasn't the only one who thought based on observation that Hodgson should have been taken from the field for a HIA, with the point debated by Nine's commentators as social media lit up.
Put to Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett after the game that the Hodgson head knock could have warranted further examination the master coach only briefly tried to skirt around the question before giving the Raiders a backhander for their handling of the incident.
"I saw it but I'm not going to buy into the head knock opinions," Bennett started.
"I know what the rules are, the South Sydney doctors know what the rules are, they live by those and I'm happy for them to do that.
"What other clubs do with their players is their prerogative and I'm not going to challenge that kind of stuff, it's nothing to do with me actually."
Further clouding the issue around the concussion protocol is that the NRL no longer makes public breaches due to concerns from club doctors over reputational damage as well as legal concerns.
So even if it is determined by the NRL that Hodgson should have been taken from the field for a HIA it will almost certainly go unreported, raising questions over accountability.
That change was made by the NRL after the Titans, Knights and Dragons were slugged with $350,000 worth of fines for concussion protocol breaches early in the 2017 season.
NRL Press Conference: Wayne Bennett - Preliminary Finals
Having been cleared to continue to play against the Rabbitohs, Hodgson is not considered in any doubt to front up for the grand final next Sunday.
The news may not be so positive for Joey Leilua, however, with the damaging centre forced from the field with a calf injury in the second half. Leilua left the dressing rooms with a heavy limp and ice and strapping around his calf although he was still upbeat about his chances of recovering in time to play the decider.
Jack Wighton is also in some doubt after injuring his shoulder, although he managed to play out the game after falling awkwardly on it in the second half.

NaNoMongering 6: " " - The Existential Title
NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo
I used to have a life you know.
Now I'm in wrimo hell you see,
With a laptop on my knee.
I am really sleepy, so this will be a short entry.
I wrote slightly more than 2000 words today, bringing my grand total for this month to 7400 words. This means that I am still behind, but I should be caught up at least to the NaNo goal of 10,000 tomorrow (Day 6), if I write 2600 words. Then I can get back to my original goal of finishing 60,000 words in a month. Yes, the NaNo goal is only 50,000, but I really need to finish this story by the end of the year. In any case, I found that after getting used to writing 1667 words per day, doing 2000 is really not that much harder. Plus, my OCD self likes the round number better.
Let's just hope my hands cooperate. I make no progress with dictation.
1. Yeah, I've pretty much reached that point too -- where NaNoWriMo > life.
Have you ever tried using the Dvorak keyboard layout? I've never really had actual problems with my wrists, but I find typing much faster and easier in Dvorak.
Just something I thought of.
Good luck! :-)
2. Yes. I actually do use it already. :-) I absolutely love it, now that I have gotten over the learning curve. It is definitely infinitely more comfortable. It's just that when my hands act up, I have to take a break from typing and using the mouse altogether. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9579033851623536}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '88971', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JBNRB2RTI4QBHPN6GQ72EMIMGFY4LFUF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:081f4865-3517-488d-a915-d5c405730d7e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 18, 5, 34, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.3.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OCT4KK4KSFLDRWE26KJY3NO5RVJKMCDG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:27b6fb03-a11c-44a0-abae-66cf2d9b8c31>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://phractalreality.blogspot.com/2012/11/nanomongering-6-existential-title.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:3b87feb5-6006-40fd-a304-ff6a34c0e1f6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '266', 'url': 'http://phractalreality.blogspot.com/2012/11/nanomongering-6-existential-title.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-142-166-51.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-43\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.16694676876068115', 'original_id': '53b7f6f33a10b682f73eb256cab4c7e2f164b19657d1da4d719c8939bd8d080f'} |

ORDER
OWENS, District Judge.
Before' the court is plaintiffs' motion to amend complaint and add parties. In this court's considered judgment, defendants have failed to advance a substantial reason for denying leave to amend to plaintiffs. Motorcity of Jacksonville, Ltd. v. Southeast Bank, 39 F.3d 292, 297 (11th Cir.1994) (citing Shipner v. Eastern Air Lines, Inc., 868 F.2d 401, 407 (11th Cir.1989)). In making this judgment, the court finds that plaintiffs' amendment is timely filed, that no undue prejudice will befall either existing or newly joined defendants, and that the amendment is not a futile exercise. See Nolin v. Douglas County, 903 F.2d 1546, 1550 (11th Cir.1990); Hanflik v. Ratchford, 848 F.Supp. 1539, 1542 (N.D.Ga.1994).
Accordingly, plaintiffs' motion to amend complaint and add parties is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED..

In March, the kindergarten students explored the ocean theme. We learned about jellyfish, seahorses, whales, sharks and other sea creatures found in the ocean. To complete our theme we had the children make an “Under the Sea” diorama at home with their parents. In class we had a lot of fun making different sea creatures and we ended off the theme with a presentation from an experienced scuba diver. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9393285512924194}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '9070', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5EEWIUEGTL3MIJWYLCBXHFGUSWB5Y67L', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:32dee66a-cc9d-4432-a757-b14be1a59f0d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 13, 16, 42, 6), 'WARC-IP-Address': '132.219.142.131', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:P27OTMGVBBCTDFEYVDOQLU2CSE2GDWIA', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:36a5057c-1c09-462b-9878-b0d5745579b6>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.swlauriersb.qc.ca/schools/morinheights/underthesea2010.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:62de8daa-2047-48ae-9b1b-15db5d111ccc>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '67', 'url': 'http://www.swlauriersb.qc.ca/schools/morinheights/underthesea2010.html', '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-10-180-67-225.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': '0.030647456645965576', 'original_id': '3eb0e711e6235eee37d05e036a5ab47b86e6d3dc5b196c1cd970fa7b1e987252'} |

Q:
Merge sort in one Single Function in Scala
I have implemented a sortmerge in Scala in one single function. I would like to have it reviewed, so that I can have it well organized, and it is then doing what needs to do.
val a = Array(5, 4, 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 3)
def mergeSort(a: Array[Int]): Array[Int] = {
val size = a.length
if (size == 1) {
return a
}
val a1 = new Array[Int](size / 2)
val a2 = new Array[Int](size / 2)
val upTo = (a.length / 2) - 1
for (i <- 0 to upTo) {
a1(i) = a(i)
}
var pos = 0
for (i <- upTo+1 to a.length - 1) {
a2(pos) = a(i)
pos += 1
}
val aR1 = mergeSort(a1)

How can I use this function for arrays of different sizes?
And how can I clean up this code a bit more, I feel like the code is a little too big.
I would like to avoid the use of pattern matching, but rather, intentionally sort Arrays by iterating through them, at the same time, I would like to do a canonical merge sort, how can I get there?
A:
Let me very clear here: I don't like what you have done and I don't like what you want to do.
With that out of the way, however, let me explain myself:
Scala is heavily inspired by the functional paradigm, which favors logic development by composition of smaller functions into larger ones and using a more declarative style, where you tell the computer "what" you want to do, not "how" you want to do it., unlike primarily imperative languages like C/C++/C#/Java.
Following the functional paradigm leads to more concise, verifiable and readable code (in most cases) over equivalent imperative implementations.
Pattern matching and recursion are especially important in the functional paradigm, where uncontrolled global mutable state is an anathema.
Yet, in Scala, you want to to do it the imperative way. Very well, Scala allows you to do it. However, should you? Most wouldn't think so.
Now on to the code review.
Observations
All you have done is hard-inlined the merge of mergeSort into the mergeSort() function itself.
If function call overheads are your primary concern for doing this, you probably shouldn't be using Scala. You should be using C/C++.
However, you're using Scala. So split it up. Write the merging function as a separate function, following the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP).
You have said that you don't want to pattern match and want to loop over the elements of the array, when you very well know merge sort in Scala can be implemented as a one-liner. That is kind of like taking the engine out of your car because you want to ride it like it's a quadricycle (or motorbike to bicycle, whichever makes more sense).
Horrible variable naming. aR1 and aR2 mean what, exactly? Why not leftSubArray and rightSubArray? More typing, yes, but that much clearer.
Suggestions
Write Scala like Scala should be written. You will be benefiting any other who will have to work on your code later. You will be benefiting yourself if you ever look at this code after you've gained more experience.
Use an IndexedSeq instead of an Array. Updates will not be in-place if you use the IndexedSeq object's apply() method (which returns a scala.Vector in Scala 2.11), as this is an immutable data structure unlike an Array. However, a Vector gets you type covariance. To get around the immutability in your design, keep the Vector as a var and reassign the result of any calls to updated() on it to itself. This is a first step on the path of functional-ness.
The Scala Predef and standard libraries have a lot of nice functions for you to exploit instead of explicitly looping over everything. You could try foreach, map and flatMap to help. There's also the handly sequence concatenation operator ++. There's also handy comparison functions like orderBy, and something which invalidates the need for what you are trying to do, sorted and sortBy
Try until instead of to for ranges. until will return a half-open interval in comparison to the closed interval returned by to. That is:
0 to 10 = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
0 until 10 = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
That should help get rid of some of the ugly -1s.
Even imperative merging isn't that complicated. Try the following, it should help:
def merge(arr: Array[Int], low: Int, mid: Int, high: Int): Array[Int] = {
/*[low..mid..high), high is exclusive*/
var (i, j, k) = (0, 0, 0)
val (leftLength, rightLength) = (mid - low + 1, high - mid)
/* create temp arrays */
val (leftArr, rightArr) = Array(leftLength), Array(rightLength)
/* Copy data to temp arrays leftArr and rightArr */
arr.copyToArray(leftArr, low, leftLength)
arr.copyToArray(rightArr, mid, rightLength)
/* Merge the temp arrays back into arr(l..r)*/
i = 0; // Initial index of first subarray
j = 0; // Initial index of second subarray
k = l; // Initial index of merged subarray
while (i < leftLength && j < rightLength){
if (leftArr(i) <= rightArr(j)){
arr(k) = leftArr(i);
i+=1;
}
else{
arr(k) = rightArr(j);
j+=1;
}
k+=1;
}
/* Copy the remaining elements of leftArr, if there
are any */
while (i < leftLength){
arr(k) = leftArr(i);
i+=1;
k+=1;
}
/* Copy the remaining elements of rightArr, if there
are any */
while (j < rightLength){
arr(k) = rightArr(j);
j+=1;
k+=1;
}
arr
}
I use Array instead of IndexedSeq in the above example as I need the intrinsic mutability of arrays in the presented method. It could have been written using IndexedSeq and assignment updates instead, but that would make the intent of the code a little less clear IMHO.
The functional one can be as simple as:
def merge(left: IndexedSeq[Int], right: IndexedSeq[Int]): IndexedSeq[Int] =
(left ++ right).sorted
The implementation without sorted() involves pattern matching, take a look here for details (especially @Shadowlands' answer for one without explicit pattern matching).
This was all assuming you've made merge a separate function. You don't need that many Boolean flags to maintain state if you do sequential merging. If you haven't split them up already, then do it now.
Splitting the array into parts can be handles by the splitAt(Int)function of Array, which takes as a parameter the index to split the array at, and returns a tuple containing the left and right parts. So, we could have the following:
(leftArr, rightArr) = arr splitAt (arr.length / 2)
You sure you still don't want pattern matching?
Just to show off pattern matching, the canonical Scala solution (adapted to work on Seqs for Scala 2.10+, is the following:
def mergeSort[T <: Ordered[T]](xs: Seq[T]): Seq[T] = {
val n = xs.length / 2
if (n == 0) xs
else {
def merge(xs: Seq[T], ys: Seq[T]): Seq[T] =
(xs, ys) match {
case(Nil, ys) => ys
case(xs, Nil) => xs
case(x :: xs1, y :: ys1) =>
if (x < y) x::merge(xs1, ys)
else y :: merge(xs, ys1)
}
val (left, right) = xs splitAt(n)
merge(mergeSort(left), mergeSort(right))
}
}
Enriched with parameterized types (generics for a non-math guy)!

Progression Towards Light
Aeschylus’ use of darkness and light as a consistent image in the
Oresteia depicts a progression from evil to goodness, disorder to order. In the
Oresteia, there exists a situation among mortals which has gotten out of
control; a cycle of death has arisen in the house of Atreus. There also exists
a divine disorder within the story which, as the situation of the mortals, must
be brought to resolution: the Furies, an older generation of gods, are in
conflict with the younger Olympian gods because they have been refused their
ancient right to avenge murders between members of the same family. The
Oresteia presents two parallel conflicts, both of which must be resolved if
accompany this progression, thereby emphasizing the movement from evil to good.
The use of darkness imagery first emerges in the Agamemnon. In this
first play of the trilogy, the cycle of death which began with the murder and
consumption of Thyestes’ children continues with Clytaemestra’s murder of
Agamemnon and Cassandra. The darkness which is present in the beginning of the
story is further magnified by the death of Agamemnon. This is illustrated when
Clytaemestra says, “Thus he Agamemnon went down, and the life struggled out
rain of bitter savored blood” (lines 1388-1390). Clytaemestra has evilly and
maliciously murdered her own husband; thus the image of the dark blood. The
darkness is representative of the evil which has permeated the house of Atreus,
and which has persisted with this latest gruesome act of murder. Because
darkness results from the death of Agamemnon, Aeschylus clearly illustrates that
this murder was nothing but pure evil. As long as this type of evil continues
to be practiced in the house of Atreus, darkness will continue to emerge. The
Oresteia has not yet seen the light.
The beginning of the progression from darkness to light can initially be
seen in the second play of the trilogy, The Libation Bearers. Orestes is the
embodiment of this light, a beacon signalling a possible end in the evil that
has infected the house of Atreus. It is true that Orestes, in revenge for
Agamemnon, kills his mother Clytaemestra. Yet the darkness that is expected
from such a murder, a matricide, is negated by one of the main reasons that
Orestes commits the murder: his fear of the wrath of Apollo, who has ordered
him to commit the deadly act. Aeschylus provides Orestes with a justification
for his action in the form of the oracle from Apollo. For not only does
Orestes’ murder of his mother fail to differ greatly from Clytaemestra’s murder
of Agamemnon, but it can in fact be seen as a worse crime because of the blood
ties. Therefore, in order to convincingly prove his assertion that Orestes is
justified in killing his mother, Aeschylus must include the order from Apollo,
who by no mere coincidence is the god of light. With the divine support of the
light god on his side, Orestes is the beginning of the progressive illumination
towards goodness and order in the Oresteia.
Another example of Orestes’ introduction of light into a story of
darkness occurs later in The Libation Bearers. The chorus is describing the
dream that Clytaemestra has had of giving birth to a snake, which represents
Orestes. The chorus sings of Clytaemestra’s fear as she awakens from the
nightmare: “She woke screaming out of her sleep, shaky with fear, as torches
kindled all about the house, out of the blind dark that had been on them” (lines
535-537). Aeschylus describes the house of Clytaemestra, the rightful house of
Atreus and the Atridae, as dark; this darkness has been caused by none other
than her own murderous deeds. She has dreamt of the coming of her son Orestes
to avenge his father, and the torches that light up the house signal this coming.
Clearly, Orestes is the man who will restore light to the house of Atreus.
Orestes is looked upon by those characters sympathetic to his plight
(namely Electra and the chorus of The Libation Bearers) as the light which will
bring an end to the evil in the house of Atreus. Soon after Orestes reveals his
identity to his sister, he proclaims that he will avenge his father’s murder.
The chorus, who represent the subjects of the late Agamemnon, express their
gratitude for Orestes’ decision when they say, “But when strength came back hope
lifted me again, and the sorrow was gone and the light was on me” (lines 415-
417). Orestes’ arrival and his resolution to make his mother pay for her crimes
illuminates the darkness which Clytaemestra has brought upon the royal house;
the chorus, in proclaiming that the light is on them, recognize that Orestes is
the man who will achieve this illumination. Electra also recognizes that
Orestes will bring good to an evil situation: “O bright beloved presence, you
bring back four lives to me” (lines 238-239). Orestes’ presence brightens the
dark, gloomy state of mind of Electra just as it brightens the dark, gloomy
situation in the house of Atreus.
Following the murder of Clytaemestra and Aegisthus at the hands of
Orestes, light is finally restored to the conflict within the mortal house of
Atreus. Orestes has fulfilled the oracle imposed upon him by Apollo, and the
darkness, the evil of Clytaemestra, has been defeated. In reference to this
defeat, the chorus proclaims, “Light is here to behold. The big hit that held
our house is taken away” (lines 961-962). The disorder and darkness that had
reigned in the house of Atreus exists no longer; Orestes has given his family
illumination. The evil darkness has been overcome by the good light.
Another way in which Aeschylus manifests the imagery of light and
darkness is through the conflict between the Olympic and Chthonic gods. The
Olympic gods are represented in the Oresteia by Apollo and Athene. Aeschylus
ties together the ideas of justice and reason, Athene’s domain, with the idea of
light, of which Apollo is god. By contrast, the black clad Chthonic gods, the
Furies, tie together the idea of darkness with the idea of bloody revenge, which
is their area of specialization. In the Eumenides, Pythia says of the Furies, “
They are black and utterly repulsive, and they snore with breath that drives one
back” (lines 52-53). The contrast between the two different races of gods sets
up Aeschylus’ second progression from darkness to light in the Oresteia.
The Furies are at first incapable of treating Orestes with the justice
that he deserves. They do not take into account the circumstances under which
Orestes killed his mother, specifically the pressure which he had received from
Apollo. Therefore, the Furies are at first enraged that Athene allows Orestes
to escape their dark and bloody vengeance. Eventually, however, the Furies’
hate begins to subside and they accept the arbitration of Athene, who offers
them land and honor in Athens. This acceptance marks the beginning of their
movement from darkness to light. They embrace the just attitude of the Olympic
gods Apollo and Athene, progressing from a doctrine of bloody revenge to one of
reason and justice. The light images emerge along with this progression, and
the Furies proclaim near the end of the Eumenides: “So with forecast of good I
speak this prayer for them the citizens of Athens that the sun’s bright
magnificence shall break out wave on wave of all the happiness life can give ,
across their land” (lines 921-925). The Chthonic gods have given up their dark
ways and have called for light. This light image is also manifested in the
garments that the Furies change into at the end of the Eumenides: where they
had previously worn black robes, they now wear bright crimson robes. Now
calling themselves the Eumenides, or Benevolent Ones, these gods have progressed
from symbols of evil darkness into symbols of bright goodness.
In his trilogy the Oresteia, Aeschylus’ use of darkness and light
imagery coincides with his progression of themes. Orestes, who represents light,
brings and end to the vicious cycle of dark death continued by Clytaemestra. He
illuminates the dark evil in the house of Atreus. Likewise, Athene and Apollo
bring the Furies out of their dark, blood-lusting ways and into an order of
justice and reason, transforming them into the brightly clad Benevolent Ones.
In the end, goodness prevails over evil just as light conquers darkness.
Aeschylus effectively makes use of his images to emphasize this movement. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '9', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9480013847351074}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '24764', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:G5BCV2BABE2U63WV2UTTMHVMQCW2CQAP', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1edd2d79-c90e-455f-b78d-6afd11d2757e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 19, 22, 49, 14), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.18.55.37', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GJSR6VWTA7ITMBIBUAI2FVZHDTNV22NF', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:55eb0e3f-7567-4939-9a25-3e9df9bbf433>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://smarttoybox.com/progression-towards-light/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f13860ae-b32e-4620-9417-53cdc7d9eb2e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1439', 'url': 'https://smarttoybox.com/progression-towards-light/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-7-214-88.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.04086124897003174', 'original_id': 'ee1d4a421f94adccb34adf5b7df5def5d8f1e7a5d14c943f87c3d8968c4f96d1'} |
Green Man Gaming Offering Four Great Games With the 2k Essential Collection
Read Full Story >>
The story is too old to be commented.
3-4-51302d ago
That is an awesome deal.
* 4 different type of games with different play styles.
I like that they didn't just package in 4 generic FPS games or something, like you would see elsewhere.
* Good think about PC, there will always be a market because people will always have PC's and there is a whole generation who grew up PC gaming and are still going to want to for the next 30 years.
* They don't have to worry about marketing a console, because almost everyone has some type of computer.
* Same reason ios is getting popular...Everyone has a phone, but in that case, at least PC games are of high quality most of the time. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '27', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9479442834854126}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '146710', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QJI6D2B3RVPWOQEKHB4FL7YKPDTMJATQ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:441b82be-393f-4ba4-96fc-862be753edd4>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 23, 1, 10, 16), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.20.204.36', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:75EYAV7N7UXY7YLFX6WUQFXGPJMU7QUT', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:57987df8-18bb-4925-90e9-4f4fcd493190>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://n4g.com/news/1465316/green-man-gaming-offering-four-great-games-with-the-2k-essential-collection', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5a0a3d58-192c-4a1f-a4b6-33fbc59edf1d>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '171', 'url': 'http://n4g.com/news/1465316/green-man-gaming-offering-four-great-games-with-the-2k-essential-collection', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-136-183-252.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': '0.06890815496444702', 'original_id': 'f89fd965ca97ee503a53b6bd1120da5adab8e6203f65e9ea898f4ae5c2400bd6'} |
Minimum of 40 Children Paralyzed After New Meningitis Vaccine
MenAfriVac is a new vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India Limited. According to The Meningitis Vaccine Project (MVP), it is the first vaccine to gain approval to travel outside the cold chain, meaning that the vaccine can be transported without refrigeration or ice packs for up to four days:
The data on the MenAfriVac vaccine is further backed by the World Health Organization’s website [3] and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website. [4]
So, why does this information differ vastly from the information given on the manufacturer’s website? Serum Institute of India Ltd. stated under the section marked STORAGE:
[adrotate banner=”9″]
As reported in La Voix, according to a member of the medical staff, as well as a comment from Dr. Daugla Oumagoum Moto, the director of the Center of International Health Support (CSSI), the reactions that these children have suffered are not typical of this type of vaccine against meningitis, which they say are normally fever, vomiting, and headaches, not the adverse reactions experienced by the hospitalized children.
Fearing for their children’s present and future health, parents of these vaccine-injured children have begun asking questions, such as:
1. Was this a faulty batch of vaccines?
2. Did the vaccinators inadvertently vaccinate using an unsafe product?
3. Was the product out of refrigeration too long?
4. Were the vaccinators fully trained?
This recently vaccinated child is being attended to after having seizures.
This recently vaccinated child is being attended to after becoming paralyzed.
Mr. M. believes the children were left far too long without care and attention. He told me that, despite the state of the vulnerable children and many parents begging for help, the regional authorities failed to respond on time. The children were not seen by the only doctor in the region until a full week after their injuries!
He stated via email:
“In addition, the government and the media have gone silent about the tragedy, while there are still facts requiring clarification whatever contingencies. All this disturbs us and makes us fear the worst effects for the future. For the not knowing of what is going on behind the scenes of the Minister of Health or elsewhere (WHO, UNICEF). As parents our priorities is that how to tell our children, it is very sad that entire city is paralyzed. We are begging our government act quickly as possible to save our children but it is too slow and lack of motivation. Therefore we call assistance for everyone in the world to intervene.” (his exact words from an email)
President Idriss Deby Itno announced at the beginning of the campaign that the vaccine was safe, secure, and would protect citizens against meningitis for ten years. [6]
Gavi Alliance, a major financial partner in the project, which cost $571 million, stated:
“If all of this works like we think it is going to work, then we are going to eliminate these epidemics. Stop. Period,’ said Marc LaForce, Director of the Meningitis Vaccine Project (MVP), a joint project involving PATH and WHO which developed MenAfriVac in less than ten years.” [7]
Both of these organizations appear to have been silent since the tragedy.
This is a newspaper clipping regarding the incident.
La Voix initially reported the incident. If you want to see an enlarged version of the newspaper clipping, click on the photo.
This tragedy raises many unanswered questions. Why were 500 children vaccinated in a region that has only one doctor, who was unable to provide advice or treatment for adverse events until one week later? Why did the manufacturer of MenAfriVac specifically advise that the product should be stored and transported at much lower temperatures than The Meningitis Project claimed? Why were the parents of these vaccine-injured children paid hush money?
Why are vaccines being pushed so strongly in a country which lacks clean drinking water and basic sanitation services? UNICEF blames Chad’s recurrent outbreaks of disease, including meningitis, on this vital, common-sense need. [8] Why have major organizations spent $571 million on a vaccination project, when wells to provide access to clean drinking water have been constructed for less than $3,000 by the International Committee of the Red Cross? [9]
How can at least 40 children become paralyzed after receiving a vaccine, and no news organizations provide coverage of this disturbing situation? The media has gone completely silent. There appear to be no reports of this incident on any government website. The only available information, apart from this one newspaper report, appears to be buried on a small blog titled Le blog de Makaila, which has been reporting regular updates on the situation. [10]

A debt of honor

IO – “At the end of last November, we finished restoring our adat (traditional or customary) houses at Kewar. The money was not from the government. We found it ourselves,” declared the Loro of Lamakne, Ignasius J. Kali Mau, proudly. “After the restoration we held a Lalbelis ceremony and we sacrificed animals at our kramats (sacred places), as our ancestors once did.”
The village of Kewar is in the regency of Belu close to West Timor’s border with Timor Leste. In Belu the tribes are led by chieftains known as small “rajas” and a “loro” is higher than a raja. He has several rajas under him. “During the ceremony we danced the Teberai or Likurai and the Tei,” the Loro of Lamaknen continued. “These are sacred dances. The Teberai used to be danced when our warriors returned from battle. In those days we were still head hunters…,” he added with a gentle smile. “And in December, the Church blessed our adat houses, kramats and graves.”
The road from Atambua to the adat village of Kewar on the slopes of Mount Lakaan (+ 1600 meters above sea level) was newly asphalted and smooth as silk although there were nearly no cars using the road. It is part of the government program to extend infrastructure everywhere throughout the Archipelago. A good program but with a fragile economy and increasing debts how useful such a road actually is for the small villages along the road is questionable. It will probably be more useful for encouraging newcomers such as the Buginese, the Madurese and the Javanese to settle further into the interior. It will also require funds for maintenance which will have to be taken from the region’s taxes when the villages of Belu’s most urgent needs are water, housing, health care, agricultural support and schools. The infrastructure program needs very careful planning as it brings problems of its own and when not well planned and carried out as the nation has seen, it can adversely affect the economy.
To the left and right of the road are rolling green hills and valleys, while in the distance rise blue mountains. In the lush and green rainy season, it is hard to imagine that this area is dry and arid for lack of water during the dry season. What is eye catching is that despite the green there are no real forests in the lowlands. According to the WWF most of the Timor deciduous forests which are amongst those with the greatest number of bird species of any tropical dry forest ecoregion in the Indo-Pacific region, have been cut down for agriculture. Andrey Damaledo in his book “Divided Loyalties” describes how in 2002 reduced assistance for refugees from Timor Leste placed an increasing burden on the locals and how the forests in South Belu were chopped down and turned into agricultural land. The local West Timorese had never dared to cut down those trees as they feared being fined.

Now along the sides of the road there are the paler green leaves of teak and white teak or Gmelina arborea plantations as well as trees such as jack fruit, tamarind and the white leafed candlenut. The government has planted the teak trees. Occasionally, one sees small stone houses or houses made from the ribs and leaves of the lontar or toddy palm (Borassus flabellifer) painted gaily in shades of turquoise, blue or green. In December small, artificial Christmas trees stand in front of some of the houses, so that everyone may enjoy them.

In this province where a majority of the inhabitants are Christian the small cemeteries abound with pictures of Christ and the Holy Mother. Under banyan trees one occasionally glimpses a small manger and crib with the baby Jesus. “The banyan trees are sacred and in the forest there are still small altars…where people may leave offerings… for the dragons who live in the forests and are sacred too,” confided Ignasius Kali Mau, the Loro of Lamakne.

On the slopes of Mount Lakaan lies the adat village of Kewar. Mama Eta Soi is the jurukunci or guardian of the adat or traditional houses and kramats there. The inhabitants are Bunas and their traditional language is Marai although some also speak Tetun, the national language of Timor Leste but in Timor Leste, Tetun has more Portuguese loan words making it more difficult for West Timorese to understand the Tetun of Timor Leste.
The sacred circle of stones known as the mot where the clans gather for adat ceremonies. (photo: IO/Tamalia Alisjahbana)
The old adat house has been newly restored and Mama Eta Soi states that it is hundreds of years old, each generation restoring it when the materials become damaged or simply too old. In front of it is the magical circle known as a mot. This is a place for the nobility. It consists of flat grey stones pilled one on top of the other to form a low wall that forms a circle filled with earth, making it slightly higher than the surrounding land. The mot lies under a large old majo tree whose wood is red when cut and which has yellow flowers in season. At one end slightly higher than the rest of the circle lie the two sacred stones where sacrifices are presented. One stone has a hole at its top and this is deemed the female stone whereas the male stone is simply smooth at its crest. The place where offerings are laid is called Bosok Baurato Ba lili. When a fire appears here then the chieftains and their people must come and bring offerings to make the fire go out but people also come and bring sacrifices before a war in order to be given courage or for a hunt to be successful. For the hunt they will place their weapons there to be blessed. The animals that are sacrificed may be chicken or pigs or even a cow.

“Whenever a young woman of the village no matter if she is at the village or far away – even as far away as say, Australia or America – becomes pregnant there will be a great wind and the majo tree will shed its leaves and little twigs,” explained Ibu Eta. “Her parents will place eggs in the hole of the female stone and the other women will place a koba or basket with betel leaves, areca nut and lime and woven cloths for women around the female stone. The men will place their kobas with betel, areca and lime and woven textiles for men around the male stone. They do this in order to make the wind stop blowing and to keep the baby safe and blessed.”
In November, after the village of Kewar had restored their adat house, it held a Lalbelis ceremony where all the clans were called and the heads of the clans sat within the circle of the mot and each accepted betel, lime and areca nuts. Only a clan not at peace with another clan would have refused. Then the head of the clan must make peace with that other clan for the ceremony cannot continue until he makes peace and every clan has accepted the betel, areca and lime. “If a fine needs to be paid – so be it. It will be paid in money or woven cloths. Afterwards we danced the Teberai and the Tei. Pigs and chicken were slaughtered and their intestines studied to understand the situation. Then we celebrated altogether,” recounted Mama Eta Soi.
Under the majo tree were also stones that had been placed upright into the ground. These are kramats: the graves of the ancestors, their loros and rajas. When asked if the stones at the center were also such graves Ibu Eta shook her head. “No,” she said slowly. “These are the graves of our men who died fighting in Timor. We brought them back here to be buried amongst their ancestors, amongst the tetek (grandfathers) and the nenek (grandmothers).”
All those years ago in Jakarta, we barely heard anything about the fighting in Timor. The censors saw to that. We saw no body bags, no coffins in the news, no grieving, no tears. And here, it finally comes home what that war meant in real terms to real people; to the Timorese, especially to the border people.

The adat house has a roof of thatch from alang-alang or long grass which hangs down till the ground so that one has to crawl inside where the roof rises to create a two-story structure. The doors are beautifully carved with geometric designs and knobs that Mama Eta said symbolized women’s breasts in order to ensure fertility within the house. In the house itself is a long wooden pillar hung with maize and buffalo horns near the rafters. In front of this, a woven ikat cloth is spread out, hanging against a small wooden wall and before this lies a long flat stone with candles. “This is the family altar where the family may consult with the spirits of the ancestors, the tetek-tetek and nenek-nenek about signs that they cannot decipher or about problems. If they ask for a solution, there will soon be a sign. A bird might fly into the house or a lizard may fall off the wall. Once a great dark snake entered the house and simply stayed there. It would not go away; we knew it was not good.” Her eyes stare into the distance. “Four days later the war broke out in Timor Timur,” she added softly.

In Atambua at eleven o’ clock that morning Presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto arrived for the Gerindra Party Christmas celebrations which they had decided to hold there that year. There are over one hundred and twenty thousand Timor Leste refugees in Belu: men, women, children and old people. Many were once Apodeti, they voted for integration during the referendum and moved to West Timor after partition. All along the West Timor border are villages with former West Timor partisans who supported the Army during the war. They were mainly trekkers, guides and porters who supported our Army and thousands of these West Timorese and Timor Leste refugees came to the airport. Many in tribal costumes with great feather headdresses. An old lady smiled, “I came from far because I wanted to see Prabowo. I wanted to see my son’s commander.”

Prabowo arrived by commercial jet wearing a tan shirt and hat and headed straight to the Seroja military cemetery located nearby to lay flowers. He fought in the Timor War. It was where he faced death and witnessed the deaths of close friends. He saw terrible things in that war and as everyone knows Indonesia did not win. It was a war that in the end was fought for nothing. Prabowo was once Special Forces. He never cries but as he placed flowers on the grave tears flowed down his face.
The refugees do not have sufficient housing, or water or land that is truly their own. Many of the houses are built of poor materials or are still of lontar leaves. The quality of their education is abysmal and they are so poor it is hard for them to pull themselves out of that poverty. A woman in the crowd pushed her way bravely to the front but whispered when it came time to speak. “Many women would like to weave but we cannot afford the price of the cotton threads. If we could just have a little money to buy the thread and dyes to start a small cooperative… we could earn money…” she said hopefully.

A man in adat costume spoke about the difficulties of getting a decent education for his son. Another young woman cried out, “Who cares about us? No one but Pak Prabowo. Remember Wilfrida Soik! He saved her! (Wilfrida Soik was an Indonesian migrant worker from Atambua who was accused of murdering her employer. Prabowo provided her with one of Malaysia’s top lawyers).
Close to Tears. (photo: IO/ARP)
Later in a hall with seven hundred people, Prabowo spoke to these forgotten people, “I have avoided coming here… because a commander must take care of the people under him. He must bring something good for them, to better their lives… I have asked the government so often to help you and I know that that help has too often not come or come too late for you. I have not been able to get for you what you truly deserve… I am sorry for this… In Jakarta the elite do not understand what sacrifices you have made for Indonesia and they grow further and further away from you but believe this: I know the sacrifices you have made for Indonesia. I know that you left your lands, your crops, your houses. You left the graves of your ancestors and of your families to support the red and the white. I know and I understand that Indonesia owes you a debt of honor.”
Here Prabowo’s voice broke and tears filled the eyes of many in the room. Men and women, the young and the old, so many needed to hear that recognition of their sacrifice and loyalty from someone who understood and perhaps Prabowo himself also needed to share that pain and those tears with them. His voice steadied, “But I promise you that when I am elected President, I shall return to Atambua and I shall repay that debt of honor!” (Tamalia Alisjahbana)

John Healey speaking at Labour Party Conference today
Tonight in this country, there’ll be 120,000 children who can’t go home. Who’ll sleep in temporary hostel-type rooms, some sharing toilets or bathrooms with people they don’t know. Whose family is homeless for want of decent, affordable housing. And to our national shame, their numbers have increased every year since the Tories took power in 2010.
Conference, these kids are caught in the much wider housing crisis which captures the deep challenges facing our country after 8 years of Tories in power:
Broken market
Failing policy
Widening inequality.
So today I give you this guarantee:
The next Labour Government will be the most radical Government on housing since that great post-war Labour Government, and we will do whatever it takes to end this Tory housing crisis.
When rough sleeping has doubled, home-ownership has fallen, rents have risen and last year saw the lowest number of new social rented homes built since the Second World War:
Then our country needs change.
When a national disaster like Grenfell Tower happens under Ministers who saw fire regulations as just ‘red tape’ and when Grenfell survivors tell us they were ‘victims before the fire’ and say ‘social tenants are second class citizens’.
Then our country needs change.
Change that gives people the help they need, the hope they crave, the chance they deserve … of a safe, secure and affordable place they can call home.
Change that’s radical, that’s deliverable, that’s Labour.
And conference, we’ve felt for too long – haven’t we? – that housing was a higher concern for our party members than for our party leaders.
We can’t say that now. For over 30 years in politics, housing’s been the top domestic priority for Jeremy Corbyn.
So as your Labour Shadow Housing Secretary, I can tell you:
• We will set up a fully-fledged housing department to lead the drive to fix the housing crisis;
• We will end rough sleeping within a parliament;
• We will control rents, end no-fault evictions and put a stop to the tyranny of rogue landlords;
• We will give first-time buyers on ordinary incomes the opportunities only the rich get under the Tories;
• We will get councils building council housing again, and build a million new truly affordable council and housing association homes.
Radical, deliverable, Labour.
We will build for those who need it most – the very poorest and most vulnerable – with a big boost to new social rented homes at the heart of the programme.
And we will also build for those in work on ordinary incomes who are priced out of the housing market, and being failed by housing policy.
Labour’s living rent homes, with rents set at a third of average local incomes.
Labour’s low cost homes to buy, with mortgage costs set at a third of average local incomes.
The same Labour aspiration that led Anuerin Bevan to talk of the ‘living tapestry of a mixed community’ when he led Britain’s post-war housebuilding drive.
Radical. Deliverable. Labour.
Let me tell you conference, we are winning on housing. We’re winning the argument and forcing the Tories in Government to change tack. But it’s winning the country that counts. This is the only test that really matters. We have to get into Government to get do what we pledge.
From Government, we will lead a new national housing mission which demands more of all – from commercial housebuilders to housing associations, from lenders to landlords, from tenants to local councils.
Labour’s long-term plan for housing, with action from day one.
And in year one, we will legislate for new renters rights to control costs, improve conditions and increase security.
But we know that our rights are worthless when we can’t enforce them, in the workplace or in the housing market.
So I can announce today, that the next Labour Government will back new unions for renters, and fund them in every part of the country – so renters who feel helpless in the face of this housing crisis can organise and defend their rights.
And Conference, we also know the housing crisis is in part a crisis of inequality. Part of the growing wealth divide in this Tory Britain today.
It will fall to Labour to put a brake on the growing gap between Britain’s housing ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ and ensure that those who have done well out of the housing market do not leave behind those with no home at all.
So today I can also announce the next Labour Government will strike a blow against housing inequality with a new national levy on second homes used as holiday homes, to help give homeless families the chance of a first home.
And conference, I want the final word to be on Grenfell.
It has been more than fifteen months since that terrible national tragedy.
Fifteen months on. Why have nearly half the Grenfell survivors still not got permanent new homes? Why are more than 400 other tower blocks still cloaked in that same lethal Grenfell-style cladding? Why has Government still not banned combustible cladding?
So I say to the Prime Minister:
If this was your home, would it really take this long to fix? If this was where your family slept each night, would you fail to act over fifteen long months?
So let’s send a message to Theresa May – stop dragging your Government’s feet and act, act to get all survivors a new home, bring all those culpable to book and put in place every measure needed to prevent this ever happening again.
Conference, Our country needs change. But it’s clear that nothing will change, without a change of Government.
That is down to us as Labour to win – and then to be – the new Government so many millions of people so desperately want and need.
Thank you

Fads come and go, and many of them are not worth half the attention they get (fidget spinners, we’re looking at you). But many homeowners in Greensboro, North Carolina, have been talking about geothermal heat pumps for years, and you’re starting to wonder if it’s worth all the buzz.
We’re here to tell you that geothermal heating and cooling is one fad that isn’t going away. Thanks to its unique heat exchange system, geothermal heat pumps help the environment while cutting energy costs. Here’s what you need to know.
How Does a Geothermal Heat Pump Work?
Geothermal heat pumps are generating so much buzz because of what sets them apart from other HVAC systems. A central, forced-air heating and cooling system requires both a furnace and air conditioner to maintain comfort in both hot and cold seasons. These systems work well when well-maintained, but they often cost more to operate than other types of systems.
Heat pumps, on the other hand, can both heat and cool your home with a single unit. Unlike standard central heating and cooling units that produce their own heat or coolness, heat pumps exchange heat with another source and are able to both release and absorb that heat. Many heat pumps exchange heat with the air. However, geothermal heat pumps trade with the earth, which tends to be a much more efficient source, since the ground remains a relatively constant temperature year-round.
What Makes Geothermal Worth the Buzz?
Does it really make that big of a difference to exchange heat rather than produce it? Yes. The heat pump process, especially that of a geothermal heat pump, consumes far less power than a standard HVAC system. Thanks to that energy efficiency, a geothermal heat pump cuts homeowners’ utility bills. These systems also produce fewer emissions, making them friendlier to the environment.

Q:
Why did Brain ask Brendan about letting Dode go back to the theater?
In Brick (2005), Brendan got information about Emily, and according to information, he went to "coffee & pie Oh My!" to find Dode (and punched him to know more about Emily). Well, actually, Brendan never told Brain that he let Dode go back to theatre.
Brain: Why did you let Dode fly when he went back to, who's her name,
at the theater?
Brendan: Kara. It's their turf. I couldn't hear them without being
seen.
Then why did he ask Brendan about it?
A:
Well, Actually Brendan never told to Brain that he let Dode to go back to theatre.
Brendan told Brain about him tailing Dode, and that Dode went to the theater, just before the scene started.
If you notice, at the beginning of the scene with Brendan and Brain talking, Brendan was pacing back and forth (as if he was already deep in thought), and Brain was already holding/examining the torn piece of paper with "A" looking symbol on it.
Also, the dialogue of the scene began with Brain asking investigate/analytic questions about the motivations behind Brendan's actions, and what else Brendan knew about the symbol on the torn paper, as if Brendan had just explained it all to him.
BRAIN: Know anything else about this?
BRENDAN: Mm. (shakes his head)
All of this suggests that, just before the scene began, Brendan was catching Brain up regarding what happened since their last meet up, with Brendan's main intent being to ask Brain about the symbol on the piece of paper. In order for Brendan to do so though, he first had to explain the series of events that led up to him acquiring the torn paper, which would have included:
Brendan's conversation with Laura at her party;
Interrogating Dode at the coffee shop;
Tailing Dode to see him first meet with Emily, and then go to the theater to speak with Kara;
Brendan meeting with Emily at his lunch spot;
Acquiring the torn piece of paper (that had the "A" symbol) that Brendan saw Dode give Emily.
Additional context:
In response to Brain's question as to why Brendan didn't follow Dode into the theater, Brendan explains that if he tried to eavesdrop on Dode and Kara's conversation, he would have been seen by someone and Kara would know about it. Instead, Brendan thought it was best to not interrupt their current actions/plans, and to see how things play out before making the next major move.
THE BRAIN: Slim pickings. Why'd you let Dode fly when he came back to whose-her-name, at the theater?
BRENDAN: Kara. It's their turf, I couldn't hear them without being seen, and that would only biff their play. Best to know it's there, let it ride and see what comes of it.

Crazy Scientists Dating How Long People Have Been on Madagascar
From BBC Science & Environment Article, Link
Prehistoric humans are the suspected culprit of wiping out one of the largest birds to have existed, the elephant bird of Madagascar, some 10,000 years ago, according to scientists.
According to scientists, it's evidence that the elephant birds of Madagascar were hunted and butchered for food."
According to scientists, as shown from the quote above, fossils have been found - stones, with some marks on them, which scientists say are cut marks on bones, from some 10,000 years ago, and they were caused by human hunters.
Here are a picture of the stones, and from the ruler beside it, they appear to be stones at some approx 7 centimetres (approx 3 inches);
Stone Fossils of Elephant Birds
The old theory - Humans lived on Madagascar 2,500 - 4,000 Years Ago
Dr James Hansford,
"This does push back the date of human arrival by 6,000 years, at least," says Dr James Hansford, a scientist at Zoological Society London, UK.
Dr Hansford, of the Zoological Society London, goes on to give us even more theories, proposing re-writing the entire history of all the islands wildlife,
As well as raising questions about human history, the discovery suggests a "radically different extinction theory" is required to understand the loss of the island's unique fauna.
"Humans seem to have coexisted with elephant birds and other now-extinct species for over 9,000 years, apparently with limited negative impact on biodiversity for most of this period, which offers new insights for conservation today," says Dr Hansford.

What Do You Think?
Notice how the conversation by the scientists has went from "suspected" to a conversation of a "radically different extinction theory", the emphasis has changed from "suspected", "seemed", and, based on what? A couple of stones with, let's be honest, a couple of stones with some marks on them, literally, as can be seen from the picture, some scratches on them.
How did those scratches appear? Are they natural? Did they happen to the stone at a later date? Were they done by humans at a later date? Were they done by another animal who was testing its claws or filing its claws?
Here's a picture of a black bear having left its claw marks on a tree;
Black Bear Claw Marks on a Tree
Done by human hunting, or some other animal? Or some other act of nature?
Truthfully, I would say that the 'evidence' based on some scratch marks on a stone (in the picture at the top, notice only one stone has a mark on it), is highly unrealistic to begin with. I think using the words, 'suspected', 'seemingly' is stretching things as they are. However, it's enough for scientists to get carried away with fanciful ideas.
And what of people who simply read the headline? It's easy, from the headline, to assume that it's true: Humans DID live on Madagascar some 10,000 years ago, and, of course, scientists are professional, educated and generally trusted people, how could they get something like this wrong, or would they really base their idea on such flimsy information? Apparently, they would, and do.
"Suspected" to "Overturns"
Here we have the following quote from the article, pushing the envelope of flimsy 'evidence' even further. The article moves from "suspected", "seemingly", which were stretches to begin with, to using the word, "overturns", as if, before the end of the article, it's already been proven: Humans hunted elephant birds 10,000 years ago on Madagascar.
"The research also overturns our ideas about the first human arrivals on the tropical island."
Unsurprisingly perhaps, Professor Wright doesn't have any evidence of these people,
"We do not know the origin of these people and won't until we find further archaeological evidence," says Prof Patricia Wright from Stony Brook University, co-researcher of the study.
I wanted to expound on this science article, to show how flimsy the science really is, when it comes to 'investigating' the past, and the lengths scientists are willing to go to pass over something which is nothing, to basically be, hard proof.
Of course, some science IS correct, however, science such as this, science such as evolution, the history of life on the earth, is all rather far fetched and flimsy. Truthfully, as I look into it, it really does seem as though the purpose is to lead astray, and to try to substitute the truth. The truth that the earth IS old, however, people have only lived on it for some 6,000 years. Basically, to try to replace God.
Which is why actual evidence of civilization can only be found covering the last 6,000 years, with most of it in the last 5,000 years, which was the time of Noah's flood, destroying most of the evidence of civilization between 5,000-6000 years ago.
"The question remains - who these people were? And when and why did they disappear?" Professor Wright
You decide! Personally, I am highly suspect of what so called science like this claims to know or investigate!
“He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.” Job 5:13
“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:” 1 Timothy 6:20
Please also read this article, were tests show that it is impossible to distinguish between tool marks on bones and animal marks on bones.

Catalan ‘Independence’ – A Tool of Capital Against Labour
Part II
Dear anti anti-Semitic reader, take heed lest the following facts, bigoted and odious as they most outrageously are, offend thine eyes!
Many of the world’s richest financial elites are Jewish. They have a state all to themselves; it’s called Israel. It is no ordinary state. Its agents control the world’s great powers and the minds of the masses through monopoly media. It is a fact few will dare to admit, but facts are facts. And as as the cliché goes, facts are stubborn things!
So what interest does Israel have in Catalonia?
The Jerusalem Post reported on the 24th of November, 2014 that ‘Israel and Germany may be the key to initially financing a Catalan state independent of Spain’. Barcelona’s High Court Judge Santiago Vidal told the Israeli newspaper:“ Another state (Israel) will serve as our temporary bank”. For those requiring further exegesis, Jewish money, that is to say international High Finance will ensure the survival of ‘independent’ Catalan.
No doubt, there are plenty hoodutionairy Catalans on the streets of Barcelona donning Palestinian scarves and chanting leftist songs from the Spanish Civil War. Former Greek Finance Minister Vanis Varoufakis has even turned up to assure everyone that the whole thing is ‘left-wing’ and ‘progressive’. He did the same during the Nuit Debout movement in Paris, before dashing off Che Guevara-like to meet… ahem… Emmanuel Macron!
What middle-class Palestinophile leftists have trouble understanding is that Zionism is only partially a project of occupying the Middle East. Zionism is in fact much more; it is a project of global domination. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made their intentions crystal clear: “Israel must become a world power”.
Israel must become, as Sheihk Imran Hosein has put it, “the new ruling state in the world”. Open borders; mass immigration; the destruction of the nation-state, destruction of the family; in short, globalisation is the process whereby all the world’s states collapse into the institutions of the world-state presided over by the sacerdotal ‘chosen ones’. It’s not so difficult to achieve when you can boast, as Netanyahu has, that “ We have America”.
Pax judaica
A 2014 Haaretz article ran the headline: ‘Viva Catalonia, Viva Israel’. The article refers to Lopez Tena, one of the Catalan Zio-pendence movement’s leaders who is an Israeli loyalist. The following extract limns a glorious tableau of globalisation’s Israeli-dominated future:
‘Spain will not easily give up its crown jewel, but Lopez Tena is losing no time in making a promise that Europe’s new member state will be very friendly to Israel. In that too it will separate itself from its rival in Madrid. And here is another message. Just as Catalonia will soon be the state of the Catalan people, Israel is first and foremost the state of the Jewish people. There is no future for a binational state. The latest victory of the separatists in Quebec, Canada, the continuing efforts to dismantle the Belgian kingdom, and the national referendum to take place in Scotland in 2014 are only a few examples that prove this. Neither a federation nor a confederation, nor autonomy, nor cantons.Binationalism is dead. Visca (Viva in Catalan ) Israel, Visca Catalonia.
The Jews expel Spain!
Catholic Spain was never a happy place for Jews – except perhaps when they were opening the gates to the Islamic conquests of Andalusia in the 8th century AD!
During the Spanish Inquisition, Jewish fake converts(conversos or Maranos) to Christianity were corrupting the Catholic Church from within, threatening to bring down all of Christendom. In his book A History of the Maranos Jewish scholar Cecil Roth argues that the Catholic Church was justified in its suspicions of the conversos . The Spanish Inquisition, far from being a ‘reign of terror’, was in fact a genuine attempt by the Catholic Church to stamp out corruption and heresy.
In a similar way to the so-called ‘red terror’ in the Soviet Union, the Catholic Church and Spanish Kingdom had been infiltrated by inveterate enemies, operating at the highest levels of Church and State. Like the Soviet Government, the Catholic Church sought to limit executions of its enemies, not maximise them.
The Jews were eventually expelled from Spain in 1492 under the Alhambra Decree; first to Portugal and then to Holland. Powerful Jews such as international diplomat Joseph Nassi, the father of Zionism ( or perhaps Nass-ism!), were instrumental in provoking the Dutch Revolt of 1568 to 1648 which brought down the Spanish Empire.
When Marano (crypto) Jews in the Netherlands contributed to the development of modern banking with promissory notes promoting usury on a grand scale, the Spanish Empire’s gold and silver-based economy declined rapidly.
In his 1911 book Die Juden und das Wirtschaftsleben, translated as The Jews and Modern Capitalism, the German sociologist showed how Jews were the brains behind the modern capitalist mode of production.
Capitalism killed the Spanish Empire; it is now killing the Spanish people.
Post-Catholic, neoliberal Spain is a moribund entity. The Spanish government is beginning to look pathetic, blaming the Kremlin’s media outlets for its woes. To be sure, Wikileaks Julian Assange has been making extremely incendiary and irresponsible statements about civil war in Spain should the independence agenda fail and Russian media are giving him a platform.
Russian media, so truthful in many regards, has simply ignored the criminality pushing for Catalonian independence. Though, to their credit, their Spanish language reports have mentioned Mr. Soros and his colour revolutionaries.
Most people on the left have been, ONCE AGAIN, dupes of Zionist psychological warfare. Israeli observers (organisers) of the Catalan elections have said they are “shocked” by the brutality of the Spanish police. Israelis are, of course, extremely pacifist!
Jordi Pujol and los cabalistas!
Billionaire gangster politician Jordi Pujol is the father of the Catalan independence movement. He has been implicated in massive financial scandals with off-shore accounts and a litany of public service corruption. Pujol is a close collaborator of Catalonia’s powerful Jewish community. He apparently sent four of his children to an Israeli Kibbutz. He says he is Catholic, but only God knows!
In 1985 he founded the Assembly of European Regions (AER) with French historian and politician Edgar Faure, which advocated the breaking up of Europe’s nations into regions under the control of a federal European state. The policy of divide and conquer has already been carried out with ruthless determination in the Middle East, where Israel’s power and territory has continued to expand. Israeli agencies encourage mass immigration into Europe but call immigrants in Israel ‘infiltrators’.
In recent years Catalonia has become somewhat of an Eldorado for wealthy Jews, with synagogues and ancient Jewish quarters restored. It is certainly a positive thing to see Jewish culture being celebrated and respected, but the fanatical Zionism of Catalonia’s leaders is a matter of concern.
If Catalonia succeeds in breaking from Spain, more micro-states will emerge and they are all likely to be characterised by a zealous devotion to the Jewish State. One only has to read the separatist literature in France’s Brittany, where Israel is constantly invoked as a model society.
As the phony war on terrorism intensifies, with mass migration into Europe and Israeli operatives ‘securing’ our public spaces, we are witnessing the Gaza-fication of the world. Micro-states will become like prisons for European citizens under the pretext of ‘security’. The mobility of Europeans will continue to be restricted while armies of Jihadists cross into Europe playing the Jewish victim card.
An Assembly of European Regions would bring us one step further towards a European federal state dominated by Jewish money and its Middle Eastern empire. The Jews already have their own European parliament.
Wikileaks director Julian Assange has been making highly incendiary statements about Catalan’s independence. Wikileaks’ links to Israel are deep and complex. I have pointed that out for many years. Assange may not be a willing agent of Israel but Wikileaks, like Wikistrat and Wikipedia are all manipulated by the Zionist entity.
The obvious sign of an Israeli shill is the peremptory dismissal of any investigations of 911 or the origins of the war on terror. Jewish dissident gatekeepers tend, more often than not, to have a deep allergy to the word ‘conspiracy.’
Madrid’s relationship with Tel Aviv has soured in recent years over accusations by Israeli think tanks that Spain is financing Palestinian liberation movements. Spanish courts have also called for the arrest of Israeli generals for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The tense relations between Spain and Israel are something to consider in light of the recent ‘Islamic State’ attacks in Spain, given the fact that Israel has admitted supporting the Islamic State in Syria and false flag terrorism is, after all, an Israeli specialty.
When we speak, however, of a souring of Spanish/Israeli relations, we do not mean that Spain refuses to submit to Jewish supremacy. On the contrary, since 2012, a Jew who can trace his ancestry to Medieval Spain may automatically become a Spanish citizen.
One should not be under the impression that the criticism of the reactionary, independence movement in Catalonia implies that the Spanish government is somehow ‘resisting imperialism’. The Rajoy regime is rotten to the core. In fact, many analysts suspect they may even be secretly collaborating with the Catalan separatists.
If Spain is to survive this century it will need to call for a new non-violent, political and ideological Inquisition and move towards a non-usurious economic Catholicism (in the Greek sense of that term) but at this late hour, we are all on Noah’s Arc heading for Eurotopia, drifting in an unholy sea of conversos. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '046b153ee90070409f84cc884193b011c605934a4c2659aab37165b23e67847d'} |

In Praise of the Happy Warrior and Defender of Life, Marriage and Freedom, Timothy Cardinal Dolan
1. It used to be, in a time not so long ago that I can remember that the Church doctrine was a source of cohesion and the church itself was the center of cultural and social life for it's members. People were born, raised, married and buried in the church. It was a source of comfort, imparted a sense of belonging, acceptance and status to all it's members. Like family, it was a place that they never turned you away from.
The church has now become a force of extreme polarizing forces. There are divisive, politics, social issues that most have trouble rationalizing. The priests are no longer neighborhood boys and also no longer figures of trust but rather fear, loathing and suspicion.
Most church life used to be about simple fellowship. People were not ever expected to live perfect lives. Indeed many were deeply troubled in their domestic existence. That really didn't matter somehow.
There were no litmus tests. Nobody got told that they should go be a protestant if their religious life didn't meet the test or even become an athiest. The idea that anybody would ever be ostracized from the church would have been unthinkable. It wasn't all one way though. The people gave generously to the church. To build, to educate the young. To take care of those physically afflicted, to feed and shelter the poor.
That's all gone. the churches are empty and in need of repair. The schools are closing. The hospitals are run by guys with business degrees for profit, at least a profit for them. The nuns, what few old souls are left are told that they are no longer Catholic not because of what they did or said but what they didn't. Not shrill and strident enough about reproductive issues and not keeping their place of subservience to the priests.
The Churchmen keep saying that the real problem is that the people haven't been taught well enough, don't know and respect church teaching. That's not the trouble. They know the teachings, they don't believe them and they don't respect the men charged with teaching them. The church and it's people are no longer one entity, in many cases they are competitors, antagonists, predator and prey. If the church is going to survive, this must stop. Churchmen keep thinking that it is the laity that is at fault. How could the church be at fault, it is unchanging and eternal, right? Think about that. Just because you claim apostolic succession doesn't mean you guys are anything like the Apostles. The very idea of that nauseates me. How are you like the Apostles? In what single way?
2. I was taught that to attend a protestant church service was a mortal sin.
In the eastern provinces, catholics were warned that to attend protestant funerals of friends was against church teachings.
I was told to confess serious sins of impure thoughts at seven years old.
I was taught that to doubt my faith was a mortal sin.
I was taught that to be killed before having my confession heard after having committed a mortal sin was a direct ticket to hell.
I was taught that to eat a piece of meat on friday was a mortal sin.(what about Jesus's statement that it is not what a man puts into his body .....
I was not pure enough to receive first communion without the sacrament of Penance . I was age seven and in grade one for my first communion (what about Jesus's wanting the little children to come to him)
We prayed the rosary on our knees for lent but never had one open conversation about our faith - good Irish parents didn't discuss their faith beliefs.
The nuns told us all about the church's rules, doctrine, consequences.....
dear God, it was all crazy
Especially all the stories of miracles and sacred bones, holy water, and the sanctity of a priest as the representative of Christ with annointed fingers - which could only make the real prescence of Jesus in the tabernacle.
Sorry, but when I hold my infant grandchild, i feel more gratitude and sacredness towards God than all that Catholic supernatural belief - even considering the 'original sin' inside that infant.
I also know that if that infant were to die tomorrow - the gracious, good Creator of all I hear, see, feel, touch, taste and smell, will receive that infant and continue the mystery as He/She may see fit.
The concept of LIMBO is an outrage against God, the creator
I find comfort in the gracious writings of people who view conciousness as the pathway to the almighty
How could grown people believe the curch's controlling agenda
Look at the results we read about every month in the news concerning betrayal and abuse
God surely must weap

As I was growing up, the meaning of faith and belief overlapped. I never had the difference explained to me by a respected authority, and I’m not sure how much a religious education would have helped. Usually sure of my beliefs, I’ve nevertheless had to mature quite a bit to comprehend faith in any meaningful way. In the process I’ve found that the right image can ground me in a deeper understanding of the difference in these two words.
“Faith” as translated in the New Testament came from the Greek word pistis, meaning trust. “Belief”, originally referring to trust, had by the sixteenth century come to mean mental acceptance. Belief in something means our imagination can make sense of it. Belief lies in the head, while faith often goes beyond our ability to conceptualize. Faith is an experiential knowing; a sense of connectedness with one’s true nature.
The ineffable quality of faith reminds me of how art functions when it transports viewers beyond what it describes. If both belief and faith can be expressed visually, finding the right images might imprint the meaning of each more powerfully. We might think of institutional propaganda as the classic example of asserting belief through images. But how exactly can one picture faith?
In John, Chapter 20, Thomas the Apostle doubts Jesus’s resurrection until he can see and touch him in the flesh. This is the scene of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s The Incredulity of Saint Thomas (1601-02), a painting that, unlike others on the same subject, doesn’t merely illustrate that lesson or support religious doctrine. The artist’s unconventional approach to his subject matter results in an image of faith that echoes how it manifests in our own lives. It is a representation of the “unknowing” that is necessary to faith, and so unlike belief.
This difference lies in the fact that belief is an intellectual assent, where faith is an ongoing act of trust.
Faith doesn’t exist outside of life as a framing device. Instead, it is a daily commitment, often silent and unnoticed and a fitting description for what we see occurring in the painting. Caravaggio’s version of the Doubting Thomas story is a modest interpretation: the holy nature of the event is not presented in a grandiose manner. Christ’s face is diminished in shadow and the three apostles (Thomas, Peter and John) appear in a non-idealized way, through signs of age and poverty. Their status is not evident in the way they are dressed, nor do they possess any recognizable attributes.
The scene becomes all the more real for us in the psychology of expressive faces and body language, and the lack of an identifiable setting adds to the feeling that this could be happening anywhere and at any time. Typical of Caravaggio’s work, religious figures are humanized, making them more accessible to viewers, the overall scene detached from anything that would appear supernatural. Thomas examines a wound rendered with tactile realism like a curious scientist searching for empirical evidence.
If we understand faith not as a proposition to be accepted or rejected, but an invitation, we may begin to participate in a dynamic process of unity. This movement deeper into self and presence becomes a relational experience with God. Caravaggio’s painting reproduces this dynamic in the arrangement of the figures as well as their relationship to us. We are brought into the scene by both our proximity to the figures and their life-size scale.
Jesus makes himself vulnerable, answering Thomas’s need (as God answers ours in faith) by guiding the disciple’s hand into his wound as Peter and John are welcomed to look on. The figures are grouped in an arc and joined as one, their heads united to form a diamond at the top center of the picture plane. The intimacy of faith is seen in the huddled bodies and attentive faces suggesting both human drama and emotional depth. The painting is an invitation to the viewer to step into transformation through surrender and love.
Each of us holds a set of beliefs, which color how we see life. Like lenses for different life situations, our beliefs help us make sense of things. But faith lights our path with a living quality that guides us to our deepest selves. Once there, we must willingly surrender to what is.
Similarly, when we enter the space of the painting, we are invited to participate in a unique moment of transformation. This is partly the result of the artist’s use of co-extensive space, within which we stand as a fourth observer of the wound. Free of distractions, we witness the singularity of the moment. Instead of the clear, even light of belief, Caravaggio employs his famous tenebroso technique to paint the illumination of consciousness as a mysterious light. Jesus and his side seem to be its source, into which the disciples have just stepped. They are poised in mid-movement, emerging from the shadows of ignorance into awareness.
When we practice faith every moment has the potential for what the Greeks called ecstasis, or a stepping out of oneself into the light of our true selves, illuminated by a higher consciousness.
The Incredulity of Saint Thomas presents faith as an intimacy with the body of Christ, when we are most human. As Thomas’s finger enters the wound, the blunt physicality emphasized points to the human dimension of resurrection. Witnessing and participating in Thomas’s recognition we return to our own experience inspired to touch the source of life through our own faith. Belief may sometimes be a necessary starting point. Yet only when we leave behind our limited mental constructs are we free enough to recognize the holy- as Caravaggio did in the messy lives of the people of his day- glowing in beautiful ways.

The University of St. Thomas School of Law Teaches Values!

One thing to keep in mind, IMO, is that we don't know the institutional dynamics at play within the greater St. Thomas system. It could well be that the law school folks thought this was frivolous and worth fighting over, but the university president/trustees/whoever makes the decisions overruled them.
2. Andrew says:
You probably shouldn't expect too much from a law school based on a sun-drenched Caribbean island.
Wait, St. Thomas University is in Minneapolis? Never mind.
3. Mike says:
Got my undergrad degree there. Chuck is likely on the right idea. Not that I'm proud of my alma mater at this time.
4. Dan Weber says:
I went to an engineering school, and whenever the school built, say, a new IT system, they got lots of students involved.
So why not hand this over to some students? This seems like a fine project for a 1L, on a weekend. While drunk.
5. nrasmuss13 says:
"The creation of a great law school begins with a mission that draws passionate students from across the political spectrum who want to improve the world in which they live. Although debate is common and often intense, students understand their role in maintaining the quality of life that initially drew them to St. Thomas. In the classroom, in co-curricular activities and in daily interaction, students maintain a culture of dignity and respect."
So, uhh, like UC Santa Cruz without all of the reefer, huh?
Why bother…
6. Chuck says:
The law school is, as is the entrepreneurship school. But the people in charge are located in Staten Island St. Paul.
7. SPQR says:
Hear hear, Ken.
8. Norm Pattis says:
Perhaps these defendants took a look at both sides of the v and decided there wasn't much to like on either side.
9. SPQR says:
Norm, one "side" had them in it.
10. Ken says:
Or, Norm, perhaps you continue to be completely full of shit on this issue.
11. Kelly says:
You can see where I am going with this.
I thought I did, but I was wrong
I figured you were going to point out that the "sense of community" at his alma mater was the very reason that Mr Rakofsy's feelings were so hurt by everyone pointing out how well he served his client.
12. Mike says:
They don't teach unpleasant things like conflict in law schools anymore.
They teach collaborative dispute resolution, and civility, and shit like that.
They teach you that if you have a dispute, you don't need to fight, you need to get everyone together to talk about what it is they both need, to find that common ground that is always there, then maybe have a hug.
That training "stand between your client and whatever the world throws at him" starts on the first day of practice, when lawyers who know what they're doing start undoing the kumbayas they learned in law school.
Something else they learn in law school – that the practice of law isn't a business. Don't get me started.
13. Ken says:
Something else they learn in law school – that the practice of law isn’t a business. Don’t get me started.
The practice of law itself might not be a business, but making a living practicing law is.

Seven Requirements for Following Jesus
I love the specific requirements that Jesus lays out in Luke 5 for Levi to become one of His followers.
Sign Doctrinal Statement
First, Jesus makes sure that Levi can agree to the detailed doctrinal statement of Jesus. In order to make sure he agrees, Levi must attend a class to learn all the distinctives of the doctrinal statement, and then sign on the dotted line.
Start Tithing
Second, Jesus makes sure that Levi knows how important it is to support the ministry and mission of Jesus by tithing 10% of his income. Once again, there is a class that Levi must attend which lays out the biblical basis for tithing and shows how the money will be used.
Spiritual Gift Inventory
Third, Jesus has Levi fill out a spiritual gift inventory so that Levi can know where he will best “fit in” to the family of Jesus’ disciples. Levi must then attend a class to learn about the various spiritual gifts, and be shown where the openings are. Of course, at this time, the only opening for Levi is with the Kindergarten Sunday school class, but Levi is reminded that everyone must start somewhere.
Stop Sinning
Fourth, Levi is instructed on all the sins that followers of Jesus must not commit, and told that if he commits any of these sins, he will be subject to “loving discipline.” If the sin is serious enough, he may even be asked to leave the fellowship of Jesus. After all, sin is very, very serious. Very.
Commit to Complete Obedience
Fifth, Levi is told that he must agree to do whatever Jesus asks, no matter what, and no questions asked. When Levi asks what sorts of things Jesus might ask him to do, the part about “no questions asked” is re-emphasized. Instead, Levi is told to always remember that Jesus loves him, no matter what, and so even if Jesus asks Levi to do something crazy and outlandish, it is for our own good. But we must agree to it before we know what He asks.
Get Baptized
Sixth, Levi must get baptized. But first, he has to attend a four-week class on the meaning of baptism, after which, Levi will get baptized. Jesus will not actually baptize Levi (John 4:1-2), even though baptism is required. Also, Levi is instructed on the various methods and modes of baptism, and shown why all the other methods are nothing more than getting wet.
Give Testimony
Seventh, Levi has to stand up in front of all the other followers and confess that he is leaving his old sins and his old friends, and is now going to read his Bible and pray every single day, memorize verses, and attend synagogue services every week.
Only after completing these seven steps is Levi ready to follow Jesus.
Actually, this isn’t quite how it happened.
No. The call of Jesus was this: “Hey Levi, you want to come along?”
That’s it. No conditions. No requirements. No signing on the dotted line. No compulsory consent to creeds. No necessary beliefs or behaviors. Not even a separation from his former friendships.
And most of all, no classes.
Does Levi make some changes? Sure he does. He leaves his job.
But is this something Jesus asked Levi to do? It doesn’t appear so. At least, not the text.
What demands are we making on people who we invite to join with us in fellowship? Vaguely stated, here is how it often sounds:
No, you can’t smoke that, drink this, or say these words. You shouldn’t go there, hang out with those people, or spend time doing that. And you must believe this and this, but not that. And for goodness sake, don’t do this, this, this, this, this, or this. Oh, and don’t forget to give us 10% of this, attend here this many times per week, sign this, learn that, and say this. Then you’re good to go.
How far we have strayed from the simple invitation of Jesus: “Come. Follow me.”
Join my discipleship group to discover freedom in Christ and the love of God.
Comments
You say you have no time for television, yet you obviously gleaned these ideas from the Ori (Stargate, SG-1, especially the first episodes in the series). After the first sentence I had to make sure this wasn’t a repost from April 1.
Sci Fi from the television series Stargate SG-1. The Ori are fictional ascended beings who demand worship (as in six hours a day) and complete obedience. I don’t remember anything about tithing, but I may have forgotten that part. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c7decb0263a5be0dd4e7f863547dcaf936817ce4e9bd6b74b6c3e7377666afa2'} |
No shirt? No shorts? New media
Now we have another married U.S. congressman caught being stupid - contacting a single women on Craig's List and ultimately sending her a shirtless photo of himself. Now you can't really call this a sex scandal because there seems to have been no actual sex involved. But still, God Bless America - it's headline news!
You gotta be kidding, right?
When will Americans no longer be surprised and excited by moral missteps and sexual deviancy?When will such bland behavior cease being headline news?
I offered that question to two media personalities and one said, "It's news because he's a congressman."
Because he's a congressman, I'm to believe shady behavior is below him? Get a grip. My fellow Americans, because he's a congressman shady behavior should be expected.
The days when thinking doctors, lawyers, teachers, and politicians, lived to higher standards then the rest of us, as some say "ordinary" people, are long, long, gone my friends. Or should be anyway.
Serving detention in fifth grade, I'd look out the window and see my teachers, married male and married female, but not to each other, going two by two, together, chatting, flirting, giggling their way to the parking lot. I was ten and could smell the funk.
Cripes, on radio talk shows politicians openly describe their time at the statehouse as being very similar to high school.
Remember high school? There were smart kids, athletic kids, dumb kids, wise assed kids, rich kids, poor kids. There were every kind of kid regarding ability, personality and intelligence. Mostly everyone got along. You weren't all fast friends, and there were a few fights here and there, but you got through it. So it seemed.
And through it all, if you paid attention, there were a million stories being written within the school walls.

Music in AHDS movie sounds different and better
The history and music of the Fab Four
Music in AHDS movie sounds different and better
Postby (scoobster28) » Wed Oct 16, 2019 4:07 pm
My friend and I decided to watch A Hard Day's Night last night (released as part of the Miramax Collector's Series) from the early 2000s. While listening to the music, especially the end numbers during the television "concert" scenes, I thought the music sounded different. It was a bit more rounded and open, with what appeared to be more chorus or double-tracking. I can't put my finger on it but the music sounded more deep and full than when I listen to the CD of the album.
I guess the question is am I hearing things? And, if I am in fact hearing things, are there ways to get purchase their music so that I can listen to it in a way that sounds like the movie? It is startling how much better I thought they sounded but I think it just has to do with the mixing of the music.
There are a lot of possible factors. I watched it through my television which only has basic internal speakers. I am used to listening to my CDs through either my car speakers or my stereo speakers, none of which are likely very high-end. The CD I have of their music (well, most of their CDs) are the original British releases and likely none have been remastered or are in stereo sound.

Has Iconic Animated Show 'The Simpsons' Run Its Course?
The show's historic run makes fans wonder when it'll end

As The Simpsons continues year after year, becoming the longest-running sitcom on American television, fans speculate whether the series should last much longer.
Some fans feel the show lost its heart and humor years ago. Some fans feel Futurama took quality writers and producers away from The Simpsons, making it suffer. Other fans think the show is as good as ever. How much longer will the show go on?
History of 'The Simpsons'
Since The Simpsons first aired in 1989, the show has earned several Emmys for the show and its cast. The Simpsons has become the longest-running comedy on television, surpassing Cheers or M.A.S.H., and at well over 20 seasons, it is the longest-running scripted prime-time show in the U.S. But fans have become disappointed in the quality of the show.
The Simpsons was at a high in ratings and critical success in 1999. Then Matt Groening's other show was launched: Futurama. Many fans felt that when Groening's attention shifted to the new show set in the future, and Mike Scully became the showrunner, that the quality of The Simpsons began to slip.
Even after Futurama was canceled after five seasons, fans that had been with The Simpsons from the start felt they were watching a different, less funny, show. There was even an online petition for fans to sign to get the show canceled.
Reasons to Cancel
Fans have voiced reasons why The Simpsons should be put out of its misery, saying the show (and, particularly, Homer Simpson) has become less intelligent. There have been bright spots in recent years, but not enough to make many fans think the show is worth keeping alive.
Reasons to Keep 'The Simpsons' on TV
Well, as long as The Simpsons is raking in big bucks and big ratings, Fox will not cancel the show.
(And then there's the fact Fox has raked in billions of dollars off Simpsons merchandise.)
Though ratings have been on the decline for years, the same can be said for TV viewership in general, and The Simpsons' ratings have leveled off a bit in the later years. In fact, viewership rose a bit between its 25th and 26th seasons — the first time that had happened in more than a decade. Part of what gives the show its momentum is the incorporation of current events and parody content, which makes the rounds on the internet and social media after they initially air. As long as there's fodder for jokes (and there always is), The Simpsons has an opportunity to continue.
Basically, The Simpsons has been able to retain its popularity largely as a result of its ability to find new fans as the show ages.
Where It Stands
Despite the constant whispers about its cancellation, The Simpsons keeps getting renewed, with FOX announcing new seasons in short increments. The best indication about the show's future? The actors are reportedly optioned through a potential season 30. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9713658690452576}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '101752', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:6XD6H7C36XGRUWLXOEMWTO6QS4CB63A4', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1705aab1-22e3-425c-8d41-3f3b5ee5ade2>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 22, 2, 51, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.33.121', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PYOXLIK33HWYQ54G5PCAVBPNAMXDWG6Z', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8a3a3bc7-3171-4370-b422-919b87c98ba2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.thoughtco.com/should-the-simpsons-be-canceled-137074', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:7db79e3a-7b18-450e-9532-47005d9a7b6e>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '506', 'url': 'https://www.thoughtco.com/should-the-simpsons-be-canceled-137074', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-71-208-113.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': '0.02907615900039673', 'original_id': 'af4c6bdb2af1212662371f879a469f8b5294665261e4eb91c6f787fbfcc8a4e5'} |
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 14:21:18 -0500 (EST) From: Subject: ordinary-love-10 (adult-friends) Note: This is getting a lot more complicated and lot longer than I anticipated. Sorry for the delay but it's getting busier as Christmas approaches. Hope you bear with me. Note: There is finally a sex scene! That's why I have to warn you guys that this is fiction and that we should all practice safe sex. Note:Finally. I want to greet everyone a MERRY X-MAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR/MILLENIUM!!!!!! ********* ordinary love 10 ********* Drew buzzed Nick's apartment then he hugged himself as he shivered. It was close to midnight but he just had to speak to Nick right now. Lisa and Joey said a lot of stupid things to him earlier. Things that made him realize just what he could have with Nick. "Yes..who is it?" Nick's sleepy voice came through the speaker. "Drew," Drew answered him slowly. "I know it's late but can we talk even for a minute?" "Hey!" The surprise was evident in Nick's voice. "uhhh--come up." Nick buzzed him in and he quickly came inside the apartment building and he proceeded to Nick's place. He found Nick waiting for him out in the hallway, wearing a robe. "Are you alright? Did anything---" Nick looked at Drew worriedly as Drew came up to him. "I'm fine," Drew said as he looked around nervously. "Umm..can we go inside your apartment?" "Of course," Nick suddenly felt very self-conscious wearing just a robe in the hallway. He ushered Drew in his place and they both sat down on the couch. Then he faced him. "So, what did you---" "Yes," Drew said to him as he stared in his eyes. "Huh?" Nick looked at Drew quizzically. "What do---" "Ask me anything and my answer will be yes," Drew said as he tore his gaze away from Nick. "Ask me to quit my job and move away from here and I'll say yes. Tell me that I should forget whatever happened between us and I'll say yes." "And if you ask me if I'm free tomorrow night for dinner, I'll say yes too," Drew sort of laughed nervously as he looked back at Nick. Nick was just looking at him bewilderingly before a huge smile formed in Nick's face. "Are you asking me out on a date Mr. Matthews?" Drew raised an eyebrow at him. "I guess so," Drew said as he bit his lips and gave him a goofy smile. "Your friends managed to convince me that you're the most wonderful guy alive and that I was lucky that you're interested in me. Or at least I hope you're interested in me still." "Of course I am!" Nick said to him. Then he leaned forward and gave Drew a tight hug. He whispered in his ear. "Finally!" They stayed like that for a while before they pulled away from each other. "Ummm," Drew said as he stood up. "I'll go home now." "Wait," Nick stood up also. He looked at Drew apprehensively as he said very slowly, "You could stay here for the night." "I'd better go back to my apartment Nick," Drew grinned at him. "Knowing that we'll be having an official date is enough for me tonight." "Okay," Nick nodded his head at him. "I promise you that I'll make our date tomorrow very special." "I'll se you tomorrow then," Drew steeped forward and hugged Nick awkwardly at first. But when he felt Nick hugging him back, he relaxed and just enjoyed being in his arms for a while. Nick was stepping away when he pulled him again and kissed him on the lips. He closed his eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of kissing him. Nick was starting to respond to his passionate kiss. He felt Nick's tongue working it's way into his mouth. He opened his mouth a little and Nick's tongue darted into his. "Wow!" Nick said breathlessly when they pulled away ten minutes later. "Ummm," Drew was smiling at him stupidly now. He haven't felt this good for a long time now. "See you in the office. Bye." He stepped closer to Nick again and kissed him quickly. "I'll show myself out." ********************** "This is a first," Rinoa said as she sat down on the table. Drew and Gerald were already there, making small talk. She looked at the two guys quizzically; "Nick still isn't in the office." "Why is that so surprising?" Drew said slowly. Nick called him up that morning and told him he would be late and that he has a surprise for everyone when he arrived. "We were suppose to have a meeting an hour ago and he hasn't missed one of those until now," Rinoa said to him. "I---" Someone came in the lounge then and told them that Nick had arrived and have an announcement. "Wonder what it is," Gerald said as he folded the newspaper he was reading and the three of them went back into the main office. They saw everyone had gathered near Nick's office. They quickly joined them and saw Nick, Lisa and Joey talking in hushed tones in front. "Is everyone here?" Nick looked around and saw Drew at the back. He smiled at him broadly for a second before looking back at the others. "I have a few announcements to make. I'm going to let you go home two hours early this Friday. That would be enough time to prepare yourself for the party the company is throwing at the Quantum. Bring your girlfriends, boyfriends, friends, wives, husbands, whatever. It's all on me." "Quantum?" Rinoa whispered to Drew and Gerald as their officemate cheered at Nick's announcement. "Isn't that place kinda expensive?" "It's one of the in places in town," Gerald nodded at her. "That is all everyone," Nick said loudly. "Now, let's all go back to work, okay?" "I haven't exactly been to that place yet," Drew said to Rinoa as the people around them started to go back to their work. "But I heard from some people that it's hard to get into that place." They were starting to walk back to the lounge area when he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned around and saw Nick giving him a huge smile. "I want to talk to you in my office after your break," Nick said to Drew simply. Then he smiled at Riona. "I hope to see you at the party this Friday. Bring Brian along too. You guys are still going out, right?" "Yeah," Rinoa said to him. "Great," Nick smiled at him. Then Nick faced Gerald and asked him how his mother was. Drew just watched quietly until Nick walked away back into his office. The three proceeded back to the lounge area. "He's always been this close to his employees?" Drew looked at Gerald and Rinoa quizzically as they sat down on the table. "Pretty much," Rinoa nodded her head. "The first week I worked here, he would stop by my desk and ask me how I was doing and ask questions about my life." "I see," Drew nodded his head. He felt kinda angry with Nick because Nick didn't do that to him when he first worked at the company. ******** "Why the sudden party?" Lisa grinned at Nick. "No particular reason," Nick smiled at her happily. "Something just happened last night that made me the happiest guy on the planet." "I assume Mr. Matthews have something to do with that?" Joey was very amused seeing his friend like this. "He just asked me out on a date!" Nick said to them excitedly. "HE asked ME out! That has got to mean that he likes me too, right?" "I think you're right Nick," Lisa nodded her head at him. Nick's secretary buzzed him and told him that Drew was outside. Nick quickly told her to show him in. "I guess we'll leave you two lovebirds alone," Lisa said with a laugh as she and Joey stood up and headed to the door. Drew opened it and came into the room as they reached the doorway. Drew saw the two smiling at him weirdly and realized that Nick must have told them about last night. He blushed at them. "He's all yours," Joey couldn't help but say to Drew. That only made Drew blush even deeper. Joey and Lisa quickly stepped out of the office and closed the door behind them. "Don't mind them," Nick said as he walked towards Drew. Drew looked up and smiled at him nervously. "Umm," Drew cleared his throat. "Why did you want to see me?" "I wanted to talk to you about tonight," Nick said as he took Drew's hand and lead him to the couch in the corner. They both sat down facing each other. "I think that---" "Before we talk about that, I need to ask you something," Drew breathed in deeply. He looked at Nick seriously and said, "Rinoa told me how you used to come to her desk and talk to her when she was started working here. How come you never did that to me?" "I told you already that I got afraid of what I felt for you, right?" Nick took Drew's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Come on Drew. Can't you forget what a jerk I was before?" "I just wanted to hear you say that again," Drew forced a smile at him. "I promise from now on, I won't think about what happened in the past anymore." "Great!" Nick smiled at him broadly as he released his hand. "Now we can focus on more important things. Things like our date tonight." ************ "Thanks for dinner," Drew looked at Nick with a smile. They were inside a coffeeshop, eating some cake. "Get used to it because I plan on buying you more dinner in the future," Nick said to him. "Next time, dinner is on me, okay?" Drew said to him firmly. They talked in there for an hour more. Drew was getting really comfortable with Nick now and he can't help but feel himself falling for the guy. "Why don't we watch a movie at my place for a while?" Nick asked Drew while they got in Nick's car. Nick pulled out of the parking lot and into the street. He quickly drove towards his apartment. "I should really be going home now," Drew said slowly. "Come on," Nick glanced at Drew for a second. "I promise I won't try anything you won't like." "Is that suppose to comfort me?" Drew laughed nervously. Drew didn't say anything else and asked Nick something about work. Nick took that as a yes. Half and hour later, he pulled in his parking space in the basement of his building. "Make yourself comfortable," Nick said as he turned on the lights and took off his coat and hang it in the coat rack. Drew did the same and walked to the couch and sat down. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV while Nick went to the kitchen. "What's on tonight?" Nick asked Drew when he returned. Nick sat down besides Drew and placed a couple of beers on the coffeetable. "Godzilla," Drew replied as he faced Nick. They watched it for a while silently. Sometime later, Nick casually put an arm around Drew's shoulders. To his surprise, Drew didn't object and even leaned back against him, cuddling up to him. "I hated this when I first saw it but I'm starting to really like it now," Drew whispered to Nick softly as he lay his head on Nick's shoulders. "Me too," Nick replied in a soft voice. He rubbed Drew's shoulders gently until he felt Drew sat up straight. He faced him and saw him giving him a very weird look. Nick looked at him quizzically, "What?" Instead of answering, Drew leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips. He felt Drew's hand on his shoudlers, slowly working their way to his back. Drew's kiss was slowly starting to get intense. Drew finally pulled back some minutes later. "I'm really glad you're the one who kissed me now," Nick said with a smile as he watched Drew catch his breath. "Me too," Drew replied back. Then he felt Nick draw him close again and they started to make out again. The movie they were watching was completely forgotten. Nick pulled out Drew's shirt out of his jeans and slipped a hand under it. He began to touch Drew's naked skin under the shirt. Drew broke their kiss when Nick started to take off his shirt. He was about to protest but Nick was able to take it off. "Nick...." Drew trailed off as Nick took off his own shirt. "I know I promised not to try anything but you kissed me first remember?" Nick said as he put a finger on Drew's lips. "But if you don't want to, just say it." Drew looked in Nick's eyes and saw something that he never saw before. It was passion and at the same time more than that. "Let's go to the bedroom," Nick said in a husky voice as he stood up and pulled Drew to his feet. He led him to the bedroom. He pulled Drew into another kiss at the foot of the bed. He reached down and touched Drew's hardening cock through the pants. Drew moaned out helplessly as Nick unbuttoned his pants and let it fall down to the floor. Drew quickly took off his shoes and stepped out of the pants. Nick was gently sucking on Drew's neck by now. He slowly knelt down in front of Drew and saw the huge bulge straining against the boxers. He pulled the boxers down and Drew's 8" cock sprang out. He wrapped his hand around it and jacked it off for a while. "Ohhhhh," Drew moaned out softly. Nick leaned forward and took the head between his lips, his tongue swirling against the head. He tasted Drew's sweet precum and it drove him wild. He slowly took more of Drew's cock, but he wasn't that good yet. He was just able to take in half on the cock in his mouth. Drew felt he was about to cum. It was a long time since he got his cock sucked and Nick was driving him to the edge with his mouth. He reached down and slowly ran his hand through Nick's hair. "Nick...I..I'm going to......" Drew warned his lover as he tried to hold back as long as he can. But Nick just began to bob his head faster and suck harder. Drew felt his legs stiffen and his ass clenching as he began to shot hot sticky cum into Nick's throat. "UHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Drew cried out loudly in ecstasy. He felt his legs getting wobbly as he fell back on the bed tiredly. Nick crawled between Drew's leg, licking his inner thigh.. nuzzling at his balls for a while..even taking them into his mouth. He felt Nick grabbing his cock again and taking it into his mouth. He groaned out helplessly as he felt Nick suck on his semi-hard cock gently. He reached down and pulled Nick up. "You like that?" Nick leaned over Drew and grinned at him impishly. "Kiss me," Drew said as he wrapped his arms around Nick and drew him into another kiss. He could taste his own cum in Nick's mouth and it turned him on a little. Finally Nick broke the kiss a minute later. "Can I fuck you Drew?" Nick stared at Drew deeply. Drew nodded his head slowly. Nick stood up and went to the bathroom and got a condom. He found Drew sitting on the bed. He walked over to him as he tore the condom open. "Let me," Drew said as he grabbed the condom from Nick. He put it down besides him on the bed before grabbed Nick by the hips and pulling him closer. He quickly pulled down Nick's pants and boxers. He stared at Nick's 7.5" cock for a while before he wrapped his hands around it. He leaned forward and sucked on the head gently for a while. He felt Nick's hand on his head, urging him on. He started to take more of Nick's cock in his mouth and throat until he felt his nose buried in Nick's pubes. Nick's cock was very hard by now. He pulled away and reached for the condom. He looked up and saw Nick looking down at him. Nick was looking at him very lustfully but at the same time, Drew could still see the passion and love in Nick's blue eyes in spite of Nick's horny state. Drew turned around and got on his hand and knees. He looked back and saw Nick looking at him weirdly for a second. Nick reached out and touched Drew's shoulders. "Not that way," Nick said softly. "On your back. I want to see your face while I fuck you." Drew turned around and lay down on his back. Nick knelt before him and took his legs and raised it in the air. He grabbed his cock and aimed it at Drew ass. He pushed forward very slowly. Nick leaned forward and whispered for Drew to relax. He began to work his cock into Drew very slowly and tenderly until he was buried to the hilt. He remained there for a while as he gently kissed Drew's lips. "I'm not hurting you, am I?" Nick whispered to Drew. "No," Drew whispered back. Nick started to move his hips back and forth, thrusting slowly at first but getting faster and faster. He was licking at Drew's lips, cheek and neck while he fucked him. "I.....I'm cumming," Nick moaned out to Drew as Drew felt Nick's thrust becoming very fast. "UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh," Nick cried out as he buried his cock deep inside Drew's ass. Nick didn't pull out immediately. He just enjoyed being on top of Drew and kissing his neck softly. "I love you," Nick said to Drew softly. ************* ToBeContinued ************* All comments are welcome at: | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '51', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9964279532432556}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '16746', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ZCQJGGWKKGOXFMUVMBXC7LI22XFVYSDV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:9284e917-da4f-40a5-9661-d91c80a554e4>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 12, 13, 14, 1, 48), 'WARC-IP-Address': '108.161.189.196', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:B3NEOEZ4YTKMNBG7LJHKSOTM7AYVK4FY', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:565cf80c-3586-4a73-ac26-3401be1f8279>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-friends/ordinary-love/ordinary-love-10', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:17c01906-1528-4c15-aee7-c7cc80799de7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '2906', 'url': 'http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-friends/ordinary-love/ordinary-love-10', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2013-48\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for Winter 2013\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.023754596710205078', 'original_id': 'bf50d7a1a7c8704dd041d949a9e9a510a4388b577e8d4e12c1857f2cbf524035'} |

Shemot 13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
13 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Set apart as kodesh unto Me kol bechor, whatsoever openeth the rechem (womb) among the Bnei Yisroel, both of adam and of behemah; it is Mine.
And Moshe said unto HaAm, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Mitzrayim, out of the bais avadim; for by chozek yad Hashem brought you out from this place; there shall no chametz be eaten.
This day came ye out in the month Aviv.
And it shall be when Hashem shall bring thee into the land of the Kena’ani, and the Chitti, and the Emori, and the Chivi, and the Yevusi, which He swore unto thy Avot to give thee, an eretz flowing with cholov and devash, that thou shalt observe this avodah (service) in this month.
Shivat yamim thou shalt eat matzot, and in the seventh day shall be a Chag (Feast) to Hashem.
Matzot shall be eaten shivat hayamim; and there shall no chametz be seen with thee, neither shall there be se’or seen with thee within all thy borders.
And thou shalt show thy ben in that day, saying, This is because of what Hashem did for me when I came forth out of Mitzrayim.
And it shall be for an ot (sign) unto thee upon thine yad, and for a zikaron (reminder) between thine eyes, in order that the torat Hashem may be in thy mouth; because with a yad chazakah hath Hashem brought thee out of Mitzrayim.
10 Thou shalt therefore be shomer over this chukkah in its mo’ed (season, fixed time) perpetually.
11 And it shall be when Hashem shall bring thee into the land of the Kena’ani, as He swore unto thee and to thy avot, and shall give it thee,
12 That thou shalt set apart unto Hashem all that openeth the rechem (womb), and every firstling that is born of a behemah which thou hast; hazecharim (the males) shall be Hashem’s.
13 And every firstling of a he-donkey thou shalt redeem with a seh; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck; and kol bechor adam among thy banim shalt thou redeem.
14 And it shall be when thy ben asketh thee in time to come, saying, Mah zot? (What is this?) that thou shalt say unto him, By chozek yad Hashem brought us out from Mitzrayim, from the bais avadim;
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Hashem killed kol bechor of Eretz Mitzrayim, both the bechor adam, and the bechor behemah; therefore Ani zovei’ach laHashem (I sacrifice to Hashem) kol that openeth the rechem (womb), being hazecharim (the males); but kol bechor of my banim I redeem.
16 And it shall be for an ot (sign) upon thine hand, and for totafos (ornaments, frontlets, bands, phylactery) between thine eyes; for by chozek yad Hashem brought us forth out of Mitzrayim.
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim led them not through the derech of the eretz of the Pelishtim (Philistines), although that was near; for Elohim said, Lest perhaps the people change their mind when they see milchamah, and they return to Mitzrayim;
18 So Elohim led HaAm about, through the derech of the midbar of the Yam Suf; and the Bnei Yisroel went up out of Eretz Mitzrayim ready for battle.
19 And Moshe took the atzmot Yosef with him; for Yosef had made the Bnei Yisroel swear unconditionally, saying, Elohim will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my atzmot away from here with you.
20 And they took their journey from Sukkot, and encamped in Etam, at the edge of the midbar.
21 And Hashem went before them by day in an ammud anan, to guide them haderech; and by lailah in an ammud eish, to give them ohr; so they could travel yomam valailah (day or night);
22 He took not away the amud heanan by day, nor the ammud haeish by night, from before HaAm.

OAK RIDGE, TENN. - The Washington junior varsity eight and varsity four crews both earned spots in Sunday's Grand Finals at the 2007 NCAA Rowing Championships on Melton Hill Lake. The UW varsity eight will race against California, Central Florida and UCLA in the "C" Final.
Washington's junior varsity crew, who finished third in yesterday's heat, crossed the finish line in 6:39.92, the top time in both of today's repechage races. The Huskies edged out second place Minnesota in their race today, besting the Gophers by less than three-tenths of a second. The Huskies and Gophers both qualified for Sunday's race along with Ohio State and California, as well as Friday's heat winners Brown and Virginia.
In the varsity four race, Washington captured a spot in the grand finals with a second-place finish in their repechage race, posting a time of 7:35.61. The all-freshman Husky crew will take on California, Princeton, Yale, Virginia and Brown in the grand finals tomorrow morning.
Racing will begin on the Melton Hill Lake course with the Division II Finals at 9:45 a.m. (ET)/6:45 a.m. (PT). The Huskies will race in the varsity fours grand final at 10:45 a.m. (ET)/7:45 a.m. (PT), in the second eights grand final at 11:15 a.m. (ET)/8:15 a.m. (PT) and the varsity eights "C" final at 11:30 a.m./8:30 a.m. (PT).

Institutional Statement
Research involving animals has played an essential role in almost all major biomedical advances during the last century, leading to discoveries that have greatly improved both human and animal health.
Thanks to animal research, many diseases that once killed millions of people every year are either preventable, treatable, or have been eradicated altogether. For example, immunizations against polio, diphtheria, mumps, rubella and hepatitis have saved countless lives. In addition, the survival rates from many other major diseases are at an all-time high, thanks to the discovery of powerful new drugs, the design of sophisticated medical devices, and the development of new surgical procedures, all made possible, in part, through animal research. Biomedical research with lab animals also advances veterinary medicine and helps companion animals live longer, happier and healthier lives.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is committed to ensuring that animal research on its campus conforms with all federal requirements, while also maintaining the highest standards of animal care and health. UNMC’s animal care and use program was among the first to be accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International, which represents achievement of the gold standard of animal care and use programs. The accreditation process includes continuing peer review of the animal use program by internationally recognized experts. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also conducts unannounced inspections at UNMC annually. UNMC educates and trains faculty and all other personnel involved in animal research activities on the promotion of animal well-being. UNMC takes seriously its role to rigorously oversee animal research, and a staff led by veterinarians ensures animals are housed and cared for in quality-controlled environmental conditions. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9542471766471864}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '22209', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ITASGCPT2DSXJQRJWSQZK6TO657KER2Y', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:19008503-a54e-44c9-b19b-2e6084c8e5d9>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 24, 8, 49, 30), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.198.54.11', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VZ7SM243T66PE25R5JMXKWQPJONAGST6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:14bf86cc-22f7-462e-8fe4-c9bae9c6d45b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.unmc.edu/animalsinresearch/about/institutional-statement.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2f045cb9-d4de-4cb1-8355-bd0cdbf57925>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '276', 'url': 'https://www.unmc.edu/animalsinresearch/about/institutional-statement.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-248\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03301239013671875', 'original_id': '545d3c427b5da4f2ba2edfcf5cd95006e3df16f017e96cd5c6df144ebef04459'} |

[Specifics of endocrine regulation of digestion in patients with esophageal neoplasms after esophagogastroplasty].
In 67 patients with esophageal cancer, the peculiarities of endocrine regulation of alimentation after resection and plasty of the esophagus, using an isoperistaltic gastric tube were studied. Of these patients, 15 underwent correction of the disorders revealed. Accelerated evacuation of the content from a gastric transplant is accompanied by atony of the pylorus and is due to relative incompetence of neuroendocrine elements in gastric and duodenal mucosa (presence of a small amount of EC- and P-cells). Use of pentagastrin at the early postoperative period permits to accelerate the process of formation of the compensatory-adjusting mechanisms in the system of alimentation due to increase in functional activity of EC- and I-cells. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ebcd6c9113ac849a9de8a291999f159ad257c916575a1d38fbea964e33d5988c'} |
