The victory stance of a gold medalist and the slumped shoulders of a non-finalist are innate and biological rather than learned responses to success and failure, according to a University of British Columbia study using cross-cultural data gathered at the 2004 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In the first study of its kind, UBC psychology researcher Jessica Tracy investigated how pride and shame are expressed across cultures, and among the congenitally blind. She compared the non-verbal expressions and body language of sighted, blind, and congenitally blind judo competitors representing more than 30 countries, among them Algeria, Taiwan, North Korea, the Ukraine and the United States.
Asst. Prof. Tracy's findings – published in this week's online Early Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences – show that the individuals displayed pride and shame behaviours in response to the same success and failure situations.
Pride, unlike fear, anger or joy – which are categorized as primary emotions – has received little research attention in the past, explains Tracy. Her work explores how pride as an innate human biological response has evolved through time and shapes human social dynamics.
"Since congenitally blind individuals could not have learned pride and shame behaviors from watching others, these displays of victory or defeat are likely to be an innate biological propensity in humans, rather than learned behaviour," says Tracy.
Tracy and co-author Psychology Prof. David Matsumoto of San Francisco State University analyzed photos taken by an official International Judo Federation photographer who was not told about the specific research goals. The photographer shot the athletes during and immediately after each match, repeatedly for approximately 15 seconds, allowing for a series of moment-by moment images of each behavioural response.
The researchers coded the athletes' head, arms and body positions. They found that winning athletes, both sighted and blind and across all cultures, tended to raise their arms, tilt their head up and puff out their chest. Also largely universal were the expressions of defeat, which include slumped shoulders and a narrowed chest.
The researchers found that, to some extent, culture moderated the shame response among sighted athletes. It was less pronounced among individuals from highly individualistic, self-expression-valuing cultures, primarily in North America and West Eurasian countries. However, congenitally blind athletes across cultures showed the shame response, suggesting that the cultural difference found among sighted athletes was due to the Western cultural norm of hiding one's shame.
"These findings support evolutionary accounts that pride and shame would have been powerful mechanisms in enhancing or inhibiting an individual's social status," says Tracy. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'eae6696043980bbc9735f373d91b230d30cdaa3a08a01d418f0d283ed3b1ab8b'} |
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having current-constricting spaces and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device, and more particularly to an improved, buried-heterostructure (BH) type semiconductor laser having a self-aligned constricted mesa.
Conventional InGaAsP/InP-based, BH-type semiconductor lasers and methods of manufacturing the lasers will be described below.
First, a method of manufacturing an InGaAsP BH laser, in which MOVPE (Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxial) crystal growth method is utilized, will be explained with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10D.
First, as shown in FIG. 10A, an n-type InP buffer layer 2, an undoped InGaAsP active layer 3, and a p-type InP cladding layer 4 are successively grown by MOVPE growth method, on a (100) n-type InP substrate 1. A double heterostructure composed of the n-type InGaAsP layer 3 and p-type InP layer 4 is thereby formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, an SiO.sub.2 film 10 is deposited by CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method on the p-type InP layer 4 and patterned, forming a stripe. Using the stripe of the SiO.sub.2 film 10 as a mask, the p-type InP layer 4, undoped InGaAsP active layer 3 and n-type InP buffer layer 2 are etched, thereby forming a mesa stripe. Thus, the active layer 3 becomes a stripe.
As shown in FIG. 10C, a p-type InP burying layer 5 is formed by MOCVD method on the n-type InP buffer layer 2, on either side of the stripe-shaped active layer 3. Further, a p-type InP burying layer 6 is then formed by MOCVD method on the burying layer 5, on either side of the active layer 3.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 10D, the SiO.sub.2 is removed, a p-type InP layer 7 is grown on all exposed layers, and a p.sup.+ -type InGaAsP ohmic contact layer 8 is grown on the p-type InP layer. As a result, an InGaAsP BH laser is manufactured.
To oscillate the laser (i.e. to emit a laser beam), the substrate 1 is connected to the ground and a positive voltage is applied to the ohmic contact layer 8. An electric current is thereby supplied to the layer 8. The current is blocked by the reverse bias junction formed at the interface between the burying layers 5 and 6. This is first-step current constriction. Residual currents leaking out of the first-step constriction mechanism are blocked by the InP forward junction constituted by the p-type InP burying layer 5 and the n-type InP buffer layer 2 as second-step of constriction. As a result, the current flows or concentrate focus onto the InGaAsP active layer 3. The second-step constriction is explained as follows. That is, since the built-in potential of an InGaAsP layer is lower than that of an InP layer, the current more easily flows at the InGaAsP forward junction than at the InP forward junction. The current is therefore constricted.
However, the current cannot be efficiently constricted when a high voltage is applied between the electrodes to obtain larger output power. This is because the difference between the built-in potentials of the InGaAsP and InP layers is not sufficient under highly-biased condition.
The p-type InP layer 7, the n-type InP burying layer 6, p-type InP burying layer 5 and n-type InP buffer layer 2 constitute a pnpn thyristor. The thyristor may turn on when a leakage current flowing from the InP burying layer 5 to the InP buffer layer 2 and acts as the gate current of the thyristor. In this case, the leakage current inevitably increases rapidly.
The parasitic capacitance C of the reverse bias junction between the p-type InP burying layer 5 and the n-type InP burying layer 6 limits the response frequency of the semiconductor laser. The laser can hardly be used in optical communication system at a rate of 10 Gbps or more. To reduce the parasitic capacitance C, the area of the reverse bias junction between the buried layers 5 and 6 must be reduced.
The leakage current characteristic of the buried-heterostructure laser shown in FIG. 10D depends on the thickness, carrier concentrations, shapes and the like of the p-type InP burying layer 5 and the n-type InP burying layer 6, both provided near the active layer 3. Hence, semiconductor lasers of this type may greatly differ in their characteristics.
Now, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor laser having an InGaAsP/InP self-aligned constricted mesa will be explained with reference to FIGS. 11A to 11E. The method is disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,469, U.S. Pat. No. 4,958,202, and Y. Hirayama et al., "High-speed 1.5 .mu.m self-aligned constricted mesa DFB lasers grown entirely by MOCVD," IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Vol. 25, pp. 1320-1323, 1989.
First, as shown in FIG. 11A, an n-type InP buffer layer 12, an undoped InGaAsP active layer 13, a p-type InP cladding layer 14 are successively grown on a (100) n-type InP substrate 11. A double heterostructure is thereby formed.
As shown in FIG. 11B, a resist (not shown) is coated on the InP cladding layer 14 and patterned so as to remove two elongated parts (having a width of 1 .mu.m) of the active layer 13 in order to obtain a stripe-shaped active layer. Using the patterned resist as a mask, the p-type InP cladding layer 14, undoped InGaAsP active layer 13 and n-type InP buffer layer 12 are etched one after another. Two grooves 15 are thereby formed in these layers 12, 13 and 14, exposing two parts of the n-type InP substrate 11.
Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, a p-type InP layer 17 is formed on the exposed parts of the substrate 11 and also on the p-type InP layer 14. Further, a p.sup.+ -type InGaAsP ohmic contact layer 18 is grown on the p-type InP layer 17.
Thereafter, a resist (not shown) is coated on the ohmic contact layer 18 and patterned by means of photolithography so as to form two grooves in the layers 18, 17 and 14. Using the patterned resist as a mask, the InGaAsP layer 18 is etched to have two slits later. Using the layer 18 thus etched, as a mask, the p-type InP layers 17 and 14 are etched with HCl. Two grooves 19 are thereby formed in the layers 14, 17 and 18. Since HCl is a selective etchant, only the p-type InP layers 17 and 14 are etched, and the undoped InGaAsP active layer 13 is not etched at all. In other words, the etching automatically stops at the active layer 13. As a result, the structure shown in FIG. 11D is obtained. As seen from FIG. 11D, the structure has a mesa 20 which includes the stripe-shaped active layer and which is sufficiently broad, covering both grooves 15 made in the layers 12, 13 and 14.
Then, those parts of the undoped InGaAsP active layer 13 which are left outside the grooves 15 are etched away with a H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 -based etchant, which is a selective etchant which reacts with InGaAsP only, not with InP. The InP filling the grooves 15 function as etching stoppers, automatically stopping the etching. As a result, spaces 21 are formed outside the grooves 15 as illustrated in FIG. 11E. Finally, an insulating film (not shown) is deposited on the resultant structure and electrodes (not shown) are formed. Thus manufactured is a semiconductor laser having an InGaAsP/InP self-aligned constricted mesa is manufactured.
In this semiconductor laser, a leakage current flows in only the InP forward junction 22 just beside the stripe-shaped active layer 13 and having a small junction area.
A semi-insulating crystal layer may be grown, surrounding the mesa section of a semiconductor layer, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12C.
First, as shown in FIG. 12A, a semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 doped with Fe is grown by means of MOVPE crystal growth method on, for example, n-type InP substrate 90. The semi-insulating InP layer has a high resistance. If a p-type InP layer 97 doped with Zn is formed on the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 as shown in FIG. 12B, mutual diffusion of Zn and Fe will take place and the InP burying layer 95 will no longer be semi-insulating. To prevent this, a thin n-type InP 96 is grown on the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 as is illustrated in FIG. 12C. Finally, the p-type InP layer 97 is grown on the n-type InP layer 96.
In practice, a semi-insulating crystal layer is not grown on the entire surface of the substrate 90. Usually, a layer having an pn-junction is processed into a mesa-shaped layer, and a semi-insulating layer is formed, surrounding the mesa-shaped junction. The pn-junction performs the main function of the semiconductor device. On the other hand, the semi-insulating layer achieves electric isolation, reduces parasitic capacitance, constricts the current at the pn-junction, and makes flat the upper surface of the device.
A semiconductor device comprising a mesa section which has an pn-junction and a semi-insulating layer surrounding the mesa section is known. How this device is manufactured will be explained, with reference to FIGS. 13A to 13D.
At first, an n-type InP layer 91, an undoped InGaAsP active layer 92, a p-type InP layer 93 and a p.sup.+ -type InGaAsP ohmic contact layer 94 are successively grown on a (100) n-type InP substrate 90. Then, these layers 91 to 94 are etched, forming a mesa structure, as illustrated in FIG. 13A. This is a double heterostructure like the InGaAsP/InP self-aligned constricted mesa of the semiconductor laser shown in FIG. 10D.
Next, a semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 is formed on the substrate 90, covering the sides of the InGaAsP active layer 92, and an n-type InP layer 96 is formed on the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95.
If the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 is thick, covering the sides of the n-type InP layer 91, undoped InGaAsP active layer 92 and p-type InP layer 93 as is shown in FIG. 13B, mutual diffusion will take place between the semi-insulating InP layer buried 95 and the p-type InP layer 93 and the InP burying layer 95 will no longer semi-insulating.
If the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 is thin, just covering the sides of the n-type InP layer 91 but not the sides of the InGaAsP active layer 92, as is illustrated in FIG. 13C, the n-type InP layer 96 will contact the n-type InP buffer layer 91. In this case, an interface 98 is formed between two n-type layers 91 and 96. A current is likely to flow via this interface 98, bypassing the InGaAsP active layer 92. That is, the current cannot be constricted in the InGaAsP active layer 92. Further, a high voltage is likely to be applied to the pn-junction 99 between the n-type InP layer 96 and the p-type InP layer 93, because the interface 99 is located above the InGaAsP active layer 92. Consequently, the pn-junction becomes electrically conductive, thus forming a current bypass, after the semiconductor device oscillate. Since the vertical pn-junction 99 has a different facet orientation, from the epitaxial orientation the junction 99 will likely have defects, causing a current to leak through it.
To solve these problems, the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 may deposited on the substrate 90 to such a thickness that its upper surface is flush with that of the InGaAsP active layer 92, thus completely covering the sides of the n-type InP buffer layer 91 and active layer 92, as is illustrated in FIG. 13D. In practice, however, it is very difficult to control the thickness of the semi-insulating InP burying layer 95 so precisely. Could it be controlled so, the pn-junction 99 is still likely to have defects, and a current may leak through the pn-junction 99.
Thus, it is impossible to constrict a current effectively in any semiconductor device wherein a pn-junction is covered with a semi-insulating crystal layer. From this viewpoint, the aforementioned self-aligned constricted mesa is more advantageous than a mesa surrounded by a semi-insulating crystal layer. The self-aligned constricted mesa has a very small capacitance because it has small junction area and has no reverse junction. It should therefore be used in a high-speed semiconductor device.
There is two problems with the self-aligned constricted mesa, however. First, the leakage current increases when a high voltage is applied to the forward junction. Second, the mesa is mechanically weak because a stress concentrates on the bottle-necked constricted section.
In a constricted mesa structure, connection between the electrode provided on the stripe-shaped mesa having a mushroom-shaped cross section and the bonding pads provided on the upper surfaces of the other mesa. The electrode on the mesa is spaced apart from the bonding pads by grooves. Here arises a problem. Metalization for electrical connection must be carried out be using a step-recoverage method or air-bridge method. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'a1de9bf951715b3b9c92e120ae4ba093146951f79d0eb4d1cbc06e07a8632d01'} |
League of Nationsball was an organizationball in the past but then was gone when the Axis powers formed and World War II in 1939.
League of Nationsball was born after the First World War and his purpose was to maintain world peace. However, with the aggression of the Axis powers and the beginning of World War II in 1939, League of Nationsball had failed his primary purpose, which was to prevent another global war from happening. After the war he was reformed into the UN-icon UNball in 1946.

Acute venous thrombosis of spleno-mesenteric portal axis: an unusual localization of thromboembolism in the nephrotic syndrome.
The nephrotic syndrome has been frequently associated with thromboembolic episodes. We report the case of a patient affected by minimal change nephropathy who developed acute thrombosis of the spleno-mesenteric portal axis and partially recovered after thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy. Unfortunately, the patient died of pulmonary embolism after suspension of the anticoagulant therapy for gastrointestinal bleeding. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b5e926a1cca168becf77d21667db4899176f5bfa952b72bd6e380be6477d52c2'} |

John Merrells makes the point that DIX is an “ethernet” for identity protocols. I would say it is akin to TCP/IP, but I agree. In its initial incarnation it attempts to solve no more than is required for exchange of identity information. It is a layer of the solution that enables the higher layers.
There are good reasons to follow the network stack model of layering functionality - we are having these high level conversations about identity because the underlying supporting infrastructure was created in layers. Those layers became commoditized at different times allowing more and more innovation to occur at the higher layers. Trying to solve the whole identity problem for the whole internet in one giant step is never going to happen - it would be like inventing “the web” as we know it today in one fell swoop.
Johannes Ernst showed a picture at the IIW that supports that argument nicely. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9663715362548828}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '17808', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:B6WHD4UJJVSLLCQHJSGS664XHOSZGCDA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:fa269262-78e6-4124-8435-0c9779bc4b0f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 18, 5, 24, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '138.68.23.216', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:NUBPECSQ4QWMUFCUKUBT5VUVJFMJU5EM', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:01b368f8-f871-4aae-9736-49635dde1249>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://openrowley.com/2006/05/05/dix-is-identity-ethernet/trackback/index.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:67fb4a23-ef77-4d9d-9f93-d0f5f04dec67>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '150', 'url': 'https://openrowley.com/2006/05/05/dix-is-identity-ethernet/trackback/index.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-05\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-129.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': '0.158977210521698', 'original_id': 'a4e6ebeab62e6764a857ef6628f6388799f36ed8c61f154a9919bab629a9befa'} |

I just want to look at you
Today’s is another great devotion – summarised well by the anonymous poet; ‘That one dear Face, far from vanishing, rather grows, Becomes my universe that feels and knows.’
The second aspect which always inspires me is the significance of the temple curtain being torn from top to bottom when Jesus was crucified – providing us with unrestricted access to God.
Given this, why is it that some Christians sometimes feel distant from Jesus? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9547712206840516}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '11662', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2DUCMHBDCD35A7AVRICTPHTYCFIZHF3P', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c764d2eb-4f1c-42d0-b666-4839f93aa043>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 24, 9, 49, 12), 'WARC-IP-Address': '128.199.169.74', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VG4VJUS33RQEQN2NY6LET73PXEPMPYH3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:dce92196-3cb9-4d96-b65c-98b53513c055>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.tofollowjesus.org/2006/02/28/i-just-want-to-look-at-you-28-feb-2006/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:20bf056d-5eaf-424b-9d12-e63c86a55573>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '77', 'url': 'http://www.tofollowjesus.org/2006/02/28/i-just-want-to-look-at-you-28-feb-2006/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-101-128-88.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': '0.42483341693878174', 'original_id': 'e8c94e05f3af8ac423580d05295356df1f948ed361217dc1aac4ed5738a4aa9d'} |
Celebrities Inspired Fashion Clothes
Before the age of famous people for example celebrities, clothes and fashion was inspired by hard working individuals that had creative minds and innovative thinking. They were the true designers who often worked long hours and late into the evening before they broke through the fashion industry. We know many famous fashion designers who started their fashion clothing brand from the back of the room with a sewing machine and few meters of cloths and these are the true so inspired fashion designers not some one that cant sing in front on thousands of people and cant even dress properly or appropriately for that matter.
We’ve seen many high profile celebrities starting a clothing fashion brand thinking that they will be successful but after a few months after the so called their own thinking of being creative stops then they can’t bring in new ideas in to the market and that’s why a lot of celebrities fashion brands disappears after a few months after their big launch parties.
How ever celebrities inspired clothing such as a plain t shirt with a famous picture of celebrity with printed on black and white ink and t shirt looks very classy and if that person was from the old and retro old school days then that black and white t shirt looks very good and that’s why sales to do with retro and celebrities looks great and sells very good too.
When celebrities or even when famous people say a word especially a catchy phrase like “Yes We Can” these short words gets printed on t shirts like wild fire. Companies will tend to focus on latest events like elections, parties or seasonal events to think of slogans and images to print on the clothes and t shirts.
Why you may ask?
Well the simple question is because they will have an audience that they need to cater for like their fans and their fans look up to their fashion brand to bring them fresh new slogans so that they themselves can be up to date with local events. Also if it’s a funny slogan then they want to buy the t shirt so that they are the person that people laugh with, which can make some people very popular indeed.
People want to wear funny slogans or images printed of their celebrity to show true devotion as some people think their celebrities to be their religion and god in some cases. Fashion clothes tend not to last very long compared to other clothes that you can find in non fashion clothes retail shop, this is because it’s a trend that people buy one part of the fashion and then quickly buy another part of a different fashion. Ladies especially want to be known individually for wearing the very best and the very expensive so that they can show off to other people and this gives a high status of themselves, or at least that’s what they think any way.
So now you know why celebrities start fashion brands and fail in some cases and why people would wear celebrity inspired fashion clothes.
How to Get Wholesale Fashion Clothing
There are many people who like to go shopping, and the best thing to do is get clothes cheap. If one can find clothes that are way beneath retail price, then most people would. There are so many different types of clothing, and this will try to run through some of them. Finding wholesale fashion clothing is probably the best thing.
When people go shopping, they all look for bargains and sales. However, some people really enjoy finding the new clothes that are out and in style. There are different places one can go to get good prices. One place are the outlet malls. These stores sell great clothes, and many of the items are current. They come from popular stores that are found at regular malls.
The next thing place that one can go to find great, cheap clothing is online. There are many people who want to sell clothes from an online business that they have. They will even accept bidding which allows someone to get things lower than wholesale. There is usually a return policy as well.
The next thing that one can do online is look for other sites that offer clothes. There usually are because people like to sell clothes at lower prices if they have bulk collection. Stores like warehouses are popular for shoes.
There are other warehouse stores, too, now that sell everything at wholesale price. They sell food, appliance, wines, and electronics. It is a good idea to check things out there. They would sell many things from kids clothing to those for dad.
There is such a variety of clothing, and the target many times is for women. They can enjoy such a huge selection from different styles in shirts. There are great turtlenecks, sweaters, polo shirts, and tank tops. They can also find great selections in clothes for the lower half like skirts, pants for work and relaxing on weekends, and shorts. There are great selections in handbags and jewelry.
Shopping is not just for women, and there are great selections for men and children. For kids, they grow out of clothes so easily, and finding great prices is necessary. There is such a huge selection in clothing that fashions are changing for men, too. Teenagers love to shop, and to find great bargains for them is also important in order save money for other important things.
We all would love to buy new fashionable clothes for less. Many people are struggling to get by in this country, and to find cheaper clothes would be a blessing. There are ways to find it. One place is online at auction websites. Some sellers online also sell cheaper clothes without going through an auction. The next place one can visit are outlet malls. There usually are several in each state, and they have all of the new clothing. They sell everything at a lower cost than their retail counterparts. Warehouse stores have great deals, too. Clothes are available from clothes for women to both men and children.
Fashion & Clothes
Fashion and clothes are usually closely related to each other. Different people hold different ideas about clothes and fashion.
In the old days, people wear clothes only to keep warm and they do not have many choices due to the poor technology at that time. However, nowadays, people have a wide choice available in the selection of their clothes and what a person chooses to wear will reflect his or her personality, tastes, likes, mood and so on.
When celebrities or people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes, a fashion trend may start. People who like or respect them may start to wear clothes of a similar style. Therefore, many people regard fashion as to wear these new clothes. As a matter of fact, it is a mistake. Fashion,actually, is a very abstract concept. We can list some some examples of fashion, but we can conclude it to a certain form. In essence, it is a kind of style and ideas about life. It can be a living habit, a lifestyle,or the understanding of the life.
Different ages, different living circles, different occupation, and geography shares different opinions on fashion and clothes.
The teens prefer clothes that reprents their individual characters and they are longing to show their unique characters. While the celebrities would like to wear clothes that are in concordance with their wealth and status, clothes of all brand names would be within their choice. (By the way, several days ago, I encounter some brand name clothes, handbags, watches online. Arabia could not wear the same clothes as people from Japan. And they have their own fashion clothes.
Well, to me, the most important thing is that the clothes I wear shall reflect my personalities. Of course, we wear different clothes on different occasions. Different clothes can displays the different aspect of your characters. It is unnecessary to follow some celebrities to swim in the fashion. If we have our own taste and style, the only thing you need to do is to display yourself, dress what you like. That would be fashionable in others’ eyes. Therefore, fashion, in my eyes, is to show our own personality and share our ideas for life in our own way.
What is your opinion about fashion and clothes? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '28', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9774636030197144}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '22647', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ZEQTBWPLOSA54LC7RBHDH6NDAAE7YBYD', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:fd45c1fd-7a40-4197-aa33-9baa099ec1e5>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 24, 4, 0, 45), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.152.168.42', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SIJKWS7HUZV6LOBHGEBBLW7VEU6HZ3IR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a07e3776-7111-4ead-a7a6-8fbd2353f112>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://ooktrok.us/author/admin/page/5', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:e2a4b0a2-40be-4a76-b401-b28632cdb2f1>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1417', 'url': 'http://ooktrok.us/author/admin/page/5', '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-10-142-79-158.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': '0.12472277879714966', 'original_id': '86c1eb228d6e8be7990f9904a8428dcf60ad2281c360a82dfc26c163bd4ec622'} |
At the booth, Phoenix Landing volunteers LeighAnn and Carl showed off their African Greys Pepper and Franco and talked to passers-by about the good work our nonprofit parrot adoption and welfare organization does. I think I also gave variations on my spiel several dozen times, passed out literature and told everyone who came up to Stewie and said “Oh, how beautiful!” that they’re looking at “pound-for-pound, the loudest thing you’ll ever meet.” And if Stewie was being cooperative, he’d let out the same loud shriek they’d been hearing from all across the fair. Almost all the kids would literally flinch or jump the first time they heard it up close. 🙂
Some of the best questions/comments from the day included:
Man pointing at Stewie authoritatively: He looks like a cross between a parrot and a parakeet.
Several people, noticing Pepper’s tail: I saw this bird last year, but she didn’t have that red tail. I would’ve noticed that.
Like a total dolt, I forgot to bring my camera, so I can’t show off any pictures of the birds at the zoo (or the Orangutan who climbed overhead), but it was a fun outing. If Phoenix Landing invites me to join them again next year, I’ll be sure to post photos of Bird Fest 2010 next time around.

Don’t you LOVE some of those questions you get? When I was working at the Cincinnati Zoo, I saw a guy from the “Wings of Wonder” free flight bird show doing a demo with a hornbill. Someone pointed at the Rhinocerous Hornbill and asked,” Are all of their beaks like that?” the guy holding the bird doing the demo answered diplomatically and with a slight smile, ” Only the Hornbills.” I thought he was going to absolutely die trying to keep from laughing!

A matter of human dignity
Hatred, violence, suppression and denial of basic human rights are poisonous substances that can destroy the peace and tranquillity of an entire society. Moreover, they attack human values, so much so that people become so very cruel and hard-hearted that they even fail to understand the basics of what it means being a human.
The situation in Syria is worsening every day. Thousands people have been slain and thousands have been injured.
The tyrannical rulers have no compassion for their citizens and, instead, they are mercilessly killing their own people and forcing others to leave the country in a desperate attempt to save their lives.
The atrocities in Syria need to be tackled urgently
The rebels are armed as they stand up to their rulers, fighting for their rights and freedom.
These are very cruel acts and finding a solution to save the Syrian nation, now on the brink of disaster, is crucial.
An incident that took place recently must have surely disturbed every sane person around the world. A video on the internet featured a rebel leader tearing open the chest of a dead Syrian soldier, cutting out his heart and biting it, shouting Allahu Akbar (God is the Greatest). Not even a trace of decency and this in the name of God the Merciful.
This is an extremely grave and horrendous act and reminds me of a similar incident that took place 1,400 years ago during the battle of Uhud between Muslims and tribes of Quraish from Mecca. In that battle, by the people of Mecca, many acts of barbarous mutilation were committed on the slain.
Hinda, the wife of a Quraish leader, gloated over the body of Hamza, the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad. Tearing out his liver, she chewed it, thus fulfilling her savage vow.
She also strung his nails and pieces of his skin together to bedeck her arms and legs.
That was indeed a grave incident but one should also bear in mind that it happened at a time when people were not very educated, civilised or enlightened and were living in remote areas. Yet, an incident like that was already extremely unacceptable at the time! How can anything similar be tolerated today, the 21st century?
Before the advent of Islam, people used to disrespect and dishonour the dead bodies of their enemies and used to tear them into pieces. Islam strongly condemned such actions and vehemently banned them from engaging in such atrocities. It also taught followers to treat the dead with extreme dignity and honour and this not only in relation to their own but also in the case of each and every human being who passes away.
Once, when a funeral procession went by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, he stood up to show dignity and respect and those accompanying him followed his example. Someone pointed out that it was the corpse of a Jew. He replied: “Was this person not given life by God? Was he not a creation of God? Remember, in things that are common to man, we must show respect, irrespective of one’s religion, race or creed.”
The Syrian incident is a worse kind of barbarism, brutality and viciousness; it is an inhuman act. I condemn it categorically and unreservedly. It is not just an incident. I think it is matter of human dignity and human honour. And such acts should never be tolerated and should never be allowed for any reason, whatsoever.
The irony is that this act was committed by a Muslim, who claims to be the follower of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, who categorically rejected the mutilation of the dead and said that such acts are forbidden forever. He had described a true Muslim as “the one from whose hands and tongue all human beings are safe”.
Let me quote a non-Muslim scholar, K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, who very rightly describes the example of the Prophet Muhammad for Muslims to follow.
This is what he said: “To the Arabs, who had fought for 40 years on the slight provocation that a camel belonging to the guest of one tribe had strayed into the grazing land belonging to another tribe and both sides had fought till 70,000 lives had been lost, threatening the extinction of both the tribes; to such furious Arabs the Prophet of Islam taught self-control and discipline to the extent of praying even on the battlefield.
“In an age of barbarism, the battlefield itself was humanised and strict instructions were issued not to cheat, not to break trust, not to mutilate, not to kill a child or woman or an old man, not to hew down date palm nor to burn it, not to cut a fruit tree, not molest any person engaged in worship.
“His own treatment with his bitterest enemies is the noblest example for his followers.”
The atrocities in Syria need to be tackled urgently for the sake of peace of the country and the entire region. And people should adopt the qualities of compassion, sympathy and kind-heartedness and leave every kind of ruggedness and harshness.
I conclude with a quote by Prophet Muhammad. He said: “Allah is gentle and He loves gentleness and He rewards for gentleness what He does not recompense for harshness; and He does not reward any other virtue like He rewards gentleness.”
I am certain that if the values of respect and honour are given the foremost importance, the seeds of love and compassion are sown, and violence, aggression, ruggedness and harshness are uprooted once and forever. It will lead to the practice of the true sense of human dignity and peace on the earth.

Asylum Kids
I didn't do it.
Okay, maybe I did. All the evidence points in that direction. But I don't remember doing it.
I remember wanting to kill the bitch. I remember her taunting me, provoking me as my rage built up and blurred my vision.
And I remember standing over her lifeless body with the cops closing in around me,
But I don't actually remember killing her.
I didn't really know her, but I know she killed a friend of mine. She told me.
But the police don't believe me. The jury doesn't believe me. The judge doesn't believe me. My lawyer doesn't fucking believe me.
I don't know if I believe me anymore.
The blood looked like shadows, soaking into the carpet.
I was all set to plead not guilty, but my lawyer (the bastard) took one look at the evidence, listened to my testimony, and decided to plead insanity. Or mental instability. I don't give a fuck.
So I ended up here, in some fucking institute for the criminally insane.
I think I would've preferred prison.
Apparently I strangled her as well. That would explain her blue face and rolled up eyes. And my sore thumbs.
I don't know why I killed her (if I did) because I'm normally a rather laidback person. Okay, I'm lazy. Whatever the fuck you wanna call it. But anyway, it's not like me to do anything I would term as troublesome (which is everything bar sleeping and occasionally eating). And it's not really in my nature to do anything drastic (and what could be more drastic than killing a person?).
So now I'm in this shithole.
My room sucks. The entertainment sucks. The clothes suck. The guards suck. The 'doctors' suck. Now I'm at my first meal. And guess what? The food sucks.
Yep. I'm gonna hate it here.
As I stared glumly at my plate of slop (I think pigs get fed better), someone sat opposite me. I instinctively looked up. It was blonde. It had blue eyes. It had a really weird hairstyle. It was female. It was attractive. It was grinning.
"You're new here."
It spoke.
Wow, she had a sexy voice.
Hey, I might be lazy, but I do notice these things.
Just like I noticed that the grin was rather unnerving.
"What're you in for?" she asked. I shrugged.
"Apparently I murdered someone."
Her laugh was pretty nice too.
"Apparently? Well, is it a yes or a no?" She sounded amused. I shrugged again.
"Who the fuck knows? All the evidence points to yes, so I probably did, but I can't remember. And you?" This was fucking crazy. We were carrying this conversation on as if we were discussing what we had for dinner the night before.
She casually lifted one shoulder and let it drop. "Oh, I murdered some people."
I started. "More than one? How many?"
That creepy grin was back.
"Three. On my own."
I couldn't imagine killing three people. Although, I couldn't even imagine killing one person, and it seemed I had.
"I got caught on the last one. I guess we might have gone a little overboard," she continued.
I squinted at her. "I thought you said you worked alone."
"I do," she replied, "But this one was a special hit."
"Hit?" I laughed, "You talk like you're an assassin. Who was it?"
"My father," she replied casually.
My next sentence died in my throat. Who the fuck was messed up enough to kill their family?
She caught sight of the face, and the disbelief/horror I was feeling must have shown on my face because she smirked at me.
"Oh, don't look so revolted," she told me, "He was a fucking bastard anyway."
…I'm guessing they didn't have the best relationship, then.
"But I didn't do much. Gaara was the one who really fucked him up. Which is actually a good thing. Gaara had the most anger." This was too fucked up for words.
"Who's Gaara?" I just had to ask.
"My little brother. He's also here. But he's in the high security wing," she answered.
"High security?" She had killed three- four people and he was in high security?
She nodded. "Yeah. They've got him in a straitjacket and muzzle, because he really went over the edge and freaked out. On bad days they tend to feed him through an intravenous injection because if they take the muzzle off he tries to bite them. But he's really a great guy."
I think by that point I was leaning away slightly. Can you really blame me?
I snorted. "I'm sure. So you two killed your father together?" I didn't know I was so morbid, but I wanted to know more.
"Well, Kankurou too. But he didn't do too much, and besides, he didn't have a history, so he's just in prison with conspiracy to commit. I think he's getting out on parole soon. He's still getting counseling from the same doctor as Gaara and I, even though Baki is actually affiliated with the institute."
"And who's Kankurou?" I just knew what the answer was gonna be…
"My other brother." …and I was right. Yep.
What a supremely fucked up family.
"So… I'm guessing Gaara also had a history?" I should've really stopped asking questions. I really should've. But their story fascinated me. She fascinated me.
"Well… yeah. He ripped a few people up. I mean, what I did was plain in comparison."
"What did you do?"
Her grin grew even more creepy and sadistic. "I cut their heads off and stuffed them. Put them on the mantelpiece. Like hunting trophies." She leant forward on her elbows, locking eyes with me and licking her lips slightly. "Your head would look real good up there."
I almost fell off my chair, shooting it backwards, trying to put some distance between her and I.
"What the fuck, woman!" I yelled, "You're fucking insane!"
Her grin didn't change an inch. "That's why we're in here, isn't it?"
I pressed myself to the back of my chair, still fighting the urge to get up and run away from her.
She laughed; a loud, boisterous, psychotic laugh, as it sounded to my ears.
"God, you're so obviously fresh. That shouldn't freak you out, boy. There are people in here who've done worse."
"None of them have threatened me," I pointed out, still slightly spooked.
"I didn't threaten you. Besides, I didn't actually stuff any heads. It was a joke. I mean, I contemplated it, but the idea only occurred on my last kill, and he was really ugly. And you wouldn't want that hanging around forever." She was smirking, suppressing a laugh, I could see.
Fucking bitch.
"Then what did you do?" I think it's a human thing. Like when there's a horrific accident; everyone wants to be in the front. And once you're there and see the wreckage and bodies and blood or whatever, you can't stand to watch but you can't bear to look away.
"I stabbed them."
How can stabbing someone classify a person as mental? If that were the case it would be most of the people in our criminal system.
"I love the feeling of the blood running over my hands. I love how it looks, the colour. I love the smell of blood. I love the taste of blood," she continued dreamily.
Oh. There's how.
"How'd you end up in here?" I had to ask. I just had to.
She tilted her head to the side, looking damn cute doing it. "I'm not entirely sure. I was pleading guilty, my lawyer was pleading insanity. Guess who the jury sided with?"
…Pleading guilty. That explained it, really.
"I'm Temari, by the way," she said suddenly. Huh. I'd forgotten about that part of formalities.
"Shikamaru," I replied.
"Shikamaru." She rolled my name around in her mouth, tasting every syllable. I'd never liked my name more than when she said it.
She suddenly grinned. "Tell you what, Shikamaru, I'll help you get your footing around here. I'll be your… guide of sorts."
I blinked, surprised. "Um…Okay." I still wasn't going into dark corners with her. Not if there were any sharp objects around.
"Great. Now, you might want to know some of the inmates. That one over there," She pointed to a hyperactive looking blonde. "Is Naruto. He's a good guy, really, just don't piss him off. He has this alter ego thing going on- he calls it his 'inner monster'- and when he gets aggravated he attacks like an animal. Bites people's throats out. The goons- formally known as guards- always keep a wary eye on him." She was right. The guards- goons were keeping an eye on him. I can understand why.
"That's Shino, the drug contact. If you want anything, he can get it for you. Just don't insult bugs." She indicated a guy who seemed to have altered the uniform slightly, pulling the collar up over his lower face. And he was wearing these strange goggle-like sunglasses.
"Why would that be a problem?" It seemed pretty odd.
"He's obsessive. That's why he's in here. He flipped and killed a bug collector- you know, one of those who pin the bugs to boards- and stuffed the man's entire collection down his throat." I winced. That sounded nasty.
"That's Sai." A pale guy. "If anyone's emotionally stunted, it's him. Socially retarded, too. But he paints the most amazing pictures. He uses ink now, but I can only imagine what his other works looked like."
"What did he use then?" If she answers paint, I'm going to hit myself over the head.
"His victims' blood." Shoulda figured it wasn't anything normal.
"That's Sakura." She pointed out one of the very few women that I could see. "She needs anger management. She just kinda flipped out and killed one or two people with her bare hands, I think."
"She's got a thing for one of the guys in the manic depression wing. More commonly known as Suicide Watch. His name's Sasuke. Killed his brother. Personally I think that their doctor should be in here himself. Naruto's mentioned that he has all these emotional problems and background issues, but controls them well. Sai wouldn't notice anything anyway, so we can't go to him for a second opinion."
Mental mental doctors. That makes perfect sense.
"Tenten." A woman with two buns. "She's obsessed with weapons."
I didn't ask for her to elaborate. I wasn't sure I wanted to know.
"That's Hinata. She has a thing for Naruto." The pale-eyed woman sitting by Shino was staring at Naruto. Pretty obvious. "But Naruto's an idiot so he hasn't clicked yet." She paused. "I don't actually know what she's in for. She doesn't speak much."
"That's surprising. You seem to know everything about everyone around here," I commented. She grinned.
"That's because we're like one large, dysfunctional family."
Dysfunctional is right.
"Who's your doctor?" she asked. I racked my brains, trying to remember the name on the sheet that was given to me.
"Some guy called Asuma," I said slowly. She nodded.
"Ah, the smoker. You're sharing him with Chouji." She pointed to a heavyset man snacking on some chips. I recognized the name.
"I think I'm sharing a room with him too. What's he in for?" If I was gonna be living with the guy, I wanted to know.
She shrugged. "I think someone called him fat. And he flipped, and then decided that since meat was so expensive, he could just eat the guy. But he's the sweetest, kindest, gentlest person you will ever meet," she assured me.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure. He fucking ate someone!
For the rest of the day she showed me the little nooks and crannies of the hospital, introduced me to some people and explained the 'team' counseling system to me. It seemed that each doctor had three patients (aside from Kakashi, who had four- Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Sai) from different wings around the institute and that in addition to your meeting you had with your doctor every week day, you had a group, or 'team', counseling session every Saturday. She liked it because her 'team' was her and her brothers, so she got to see them every week. I didn't know what to expect. She also told me that we were in the medium risk ward. I didn't know why I was here until she said that it was also known as Murderer's Row because they lumped pretty much all the murderers here. Aside from those like her brother, who was in high security.
When we were told to go to our rooms (I felt like a two year old who'd drawn on his father's important work documents) I went with trepidation to meet my cannibalistic roommate.
He was sitting on his bed, snacking on some more chips. He looked up when I entered.
"You're the newbie. Hi. Chouji Akimichi." He held out his hand, and I shook it hesitantly.
"Shikamaru Nara." He seemed alright.
He heaved a sigh and shook his head. "I saw you hanging around Temari at lunch. She probably told you why I'm here."
"Uh…yeah," I admitted. "She said you'd eaten someone."
He flashed a grin. "Tastes like ostrich." Then his face grew solemn again.
"You're jumping right into the deep end with that one," he told me.
"Who, Temari?" I asked.
He nodded. "If you're not careful she'll eat you up and spit out the bones. Not quite as literally as I did," Small smile. "but nonetheless. She rules this place."
"I got that feeling from her," I acknowledged, sitting down on my bed.
He gave me a few tips Temari had neglected to tell me, and when I went to sleep that night, I was relaxed. He really was a gentle person. Aside from the whole eating a person thing, but he seemed to be over that now. We became fast friends pretty quickly.
One thing I found out about the institute was that as long as no-one killed anyone else, and you went to see your doctor when you were supposed to, you could pretty much do what you wanted. Seeing as most people were in here for life or longer- or until they were 'cured', which was pretty much the same thing, people grew close and knew everyone. As Temari had said, the institute was like one large, dysfunctional family.
I dreamed about killing her that night. The bitch.
I was back in the room, and she was provoking me again. And I snapped. I grabbed her throat and squeezed with relish, watching her choke, her hands scrabbling uselessly at mine, my knuckles turning white from the effort I was putting into it. Her lips turned blue and her eyes rolled backwards into her head as she struggled for breath. I dropped her and she gasped for breath, but I had a knife in my hand and I slashed out before her lips lost their blue tint, I cut her in the stomach and she dropped to the floor screaming. I was on her in a second, strangling her, choking her again, shouting words unintelligible to my ears. She went limp as her oxygen ran out; her eyes rolled upwards, her entire face had a sickly blue sheen. I stabbed her; in the heart, in the throat, again in the stomach, deep stabs, blood flowing out.
And then I was standing back from her, seeing only her back as she lay lifelessly on the floor. I was panting, panting from the exertion, my arms hanging limply at my side, the knife not there anymore.
The blood looked like shadows, soaking into the carpet.
Then she turned around and stood up, only it wasn't her, it was Temari and she was fine, she wasn't hurt, she wasn't dead, and she was holding a shining silver knife.
She was grinning.
She came towards me, stood right in front of me, and stabbed. I looked down, saw her hand holding the knife sticking in my stomach, saw my blood running out the wound, but I didn't feel it, I was fine, I wasn't dying, I was still alive, it didn't hurt. I saw her twist the blade and take it out, covered in blood, but I still didn't feel it, it didn't hurt and she brought the knife up to her face and I followed it with my eyes and her eyes were sparkling and she was grinning and she brought the knife up to her face and she licked it, she licked the blood my blood off the blade and the dark red on her tongue fascinated me as she curled it into her mouth and I didn't feel anything, it didn't hurt, I was fine.
Then she dropped the knife and kissed me and I could taste my blood in her mouth and she tasted so good, and she felt so good and I didn't want this to end, I didn't ever want it to end.
She fiddled with my clothes and I fumbled with hers, feeling as inept as a virgin schoolboy. And then they were off and she was beautiful, oh god, she was beautiful. She was an angel. No; she was a demon, a beautiful seductive demon and I couldn't get enough.
It wasn't a nightmare.
The next day, I met my doctor and my 'team'. Asuma was alright. He smoked a lot, and gave me a cigarette. The third one of my team was a girl from the low risk wing. Her name was Ino, and she was a vapid little cow. But she was okay.
That day, Temari showed me her room. She had somehow managed to get her own room, proving Chouji was right: she ruled this place.
It was a nice room, I think. I didn't pay much attention to it. I had my mind on other things.
We spend a lot of time in her room.
I've come to the conclusion that everyone in the institution are really normal, functioning individuals, and I'm just as sane as the rest of them.
A/N: Yeah. I scare myself. But I hope you enjoyed it. Liked it. Thought it was good. If it freaked you out, please feel free to say so. If you think I'm a nutter, please feel free to say so too. Oh; Gaara. There's this one picture on deviantART which is pretty much exactly how I imagined him here. The link is up on my profile page, so you can just go there and check it out. It's brilliant. So anyway, yeah, the counseling 'teams' are structured as the teams in Naruto are (although who would make Gai a counselor for the criminally insane, I don't know, but whatever) and yes, there would be more people in there, but I don't know who they are and I don't know what anyone else did, but there they are. I don't know who Shikamaru killed (she's sort of an unnamed random) and I don't know who she killed (another unnamed random), they were just necessary for the story.
Anyway, please please please leave a review and tell me what you thought, because, as with Phantom but then again not, this is very much different from anything else I've written. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9929996132850648}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '51832', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GKJ7APWUIPNPERPK7U7QSFJGJ7J6YEMC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1123aeb6-8365-4836-a959-5a873b6cf9cd>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 2, 5, 33, 47), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.205.184.6', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:JRRQH7G5YLENS5OP3A5JMLE62VL5SIU3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:7b528212-c2ad-46ca-9849-b9d7a421580d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4910350/1/Asylum-Kids', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:898dd365-2426-481c-9e6a-c8e99b061c06>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '3121', 'url': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4910350/1/Asylum-Kids', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.1890348196029663', 'original_id': '7d6088c7ba3a2b8f55d7d129cbe40275c6aea1cc09c94eb90e4ca69da9687bbc'} |
Summary: In order to truely see others as they are we must first see Jesus for who he is and ourselves for who we are. Blindness is prevelant among the religious.
Do You See This Woman?
Luke 7:36-50
Jesus’ ministry is impacting many people. His reputation as a healer continues to spread just as his clash with the religious leadership grows. He has crossed the line by forgiving sins, healing on the Sabbath and spending time with the wrong kind of people. He appears to be a radical, but he backs up what he says with powerful healings. The Pharisees just can’t quite figure Jesus out.
Chapter 7 begins by showing us that Jesus’ healing reputation has spread beyond the boarders of Israel. A gentile centurion calls on him to heal his sick servant but this gentile demonstrates faith beyond anything Jesus has seen so far and Jesus expresses surprise.
Next he raises a widow’s son from the dead which shocks all the witnesses and has everyone talking about God’s presence in him.
Thirdly, Luke gives us an inside look at John the Baptist’s message from Jail to Jesus. It looks like John is struggling with understanding just who Jesus is. Are you the One? Do we need to wait for someone else? These words tell us that even John needed confirmation. Jesus supplied confirmation to John with works and words that demonstrated that he is the One! Then Jesus affirms John’s work and witness and Luke tells us an important point in verses 29-30 that serve as a setting for our lesson from verses 36-50.
Notice the distinction between all the people including the tax collectors, and the Pharisees and lawyers. Do you see it there in verses 29-30? How did the people and tax collectors show that they acknowledged God’s justice? What did the Pharisees and lawyers do? How did they reject God’s purpose for themselves?
Ok… all that in place, we see a great case in point of this in verses 36-50. Let’s study this together: Here we encounter three main characters: a Pharisee named Simon, a sinful woman, and Jesus. Watch how Luke unfolds the event for us and think about what each character experiences and reacts.
The set up is this…
Simon, a Pharisee has Jesus over for dinner. He is obviously interested in Jesus. He not only invites Jesus to come, but there are others there too, maybe as witnesses or maybe to evaluate Jesus. I can almost imagine them thinking: on a one to ten scale, how does Jesus rate. Do we like him or not. Does he pass all of our tests or not. If so, maybe we can make use of him. If not, we will have to figure out how to eliminate him, and disrupt his influence.
The meal is under way. Jesus has reclined at the table of Simon with the other dinner guests when it happens. An unexpected guest enters the room. This isn’t just any guest, it’s a woman. And not just any woman, it’s her! The woman everyone in town knows about. The sinful one. Now every woman in that town was a sinner, but this woman was not just a regular old sinner. She’s a sinner with a capitol “S”. Even Simon knows about her. But look closely at verse 37. And behold, there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,
She somehow found out where Jesus was, and what did she do? She came to see him and she brought a gift with her.
Was she invited? No.
Was she wanted? No.
I’m not even sure just how she got in there, but she did. And she has brought something with her to give to Jesus. She enters, she is standing behind Jesus weeping. Her tears hit his feet. She sees it. She stoops down to the floor and takes her hair and begins to wipe Jesus’ feet and to kiss his feet and pour perfume on them.
Freeze frame! Have you got this picture in your mind?
What an amazing sight! Wow! This is both very amazing and also very uncomfortable. Just think of it! Wouldn’t you be uncomfortable? How does one react to something like this? This is not your every day event in the life of a Pharisee. Simon is getting his eyes full of something that demands a decision. This is something he must evaluate and react to! His reaction will reveal his heart. This is also something Jesus will react to. And we see his heart as well.
Simon’s reaction is swift and decisive. It is captured in verse 39. Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner."

Not many words are required to introduce a work the scope and character of which are so fully expressed on the title- page as in the present instance. I desire only to say, therefore, that the songs and ballads embraced in the succeeding pages — ^many of them not to be found in any previous collection — are more genuinely those of the rural population of the Scotland of yesterday than almost any that have heretofore appeared together in book form. A number of the pieces, to be siu-e, including **The Wee Wifiikie,^ "Heather Jock,^ and " The Barrin' o' the Door,'' are common to all the modem standard collections of Scottish song. But the career of each of these has been nomadic and vagabond, notwithstanding ; and while I expect that " The Barrin' o' the Door " will be welcome in the company of the old melody to which the coimtry people have always preferred to sing it, " Heather Jock " should be equally, if not more welcome, because it is printed here enty% for the first time in any book, and because, further, in the note accompanying the song, the author is named for the fii^t VI. Preface. ttae,.nd faulting p.rti™ta,.„ta,4ed,^.^ the hero of the verses which have not previously appeared. £ach and every song, indeed, which is common to the standard collections, and included here, has been admitted for some good reason which will be found stated. What I would esteem to have ax;knowledged to be a characteristic and distinguishing feature of the collection, and what I claim as its raison d'etre^ is the £Eu;t that it embraces not less than half a hundred favourite blads of lyric verse which till now have escaped the vigilance of the song- collector. Among these latter — ^and by far the larger number in the volume — " Dumb, Dumb, Dumb,*" may be cited as a song which the late Professor Aytoun knew to be much in favour with coimtry people, and regretted his in- ability to recover. '*The Tinkler's Wadding "The Bonnie Wee Window,'' "Bundle and Go," "Jinkin' you, Jockie Lad," " The Plains o' Waterloo," and « My Rolling Eye," too, may be named as songs which, though widely popular for many years, have existed chiefly in the rural memory. For a good long time I have practised the conceit of noting down these vagabond songs and ballads when cmd where- ever I was favoiu-ed with the opportimity of hearing them. Some I secured through correspondence. Some £rom obscure publications. On the invitation of the proprietors of The People's Journal^ they recently appeared in the columns of that widely circulating periodical, with the result that I obtained fresh and interesting particulars about Preface^ vii. some, and additional verses to others. What was most sur- prising and gratifying at the same time, as a result of the "sifting^ of the pieces through the columns of that paper, was to discover that in all parts of the country, despite the fact of their enjoying an almost exclusively oral existence, the versions in use, north, east, south, and west, were nearly always identical. This, if necessary, might be taken as an eloquent proof of the excellent memory of the Scottish people ; or perhaps as an evidence of their common taste in matters literary and poetical. Anyway, here are the songs. It is chiefly to the older living generation that I am indebted for them. The rapid and general railway service that now obtains, not to speak of the ubiquitous bicycle, has brought the village so close to the town, the hill so near to the street recently, that the rising generations in the country are catching up the howling rhapsodies of the mu§ic halls only a day later than the people of the city. It may be vain to expect, then — and I have myself no such hope or expectation — that the time-worn lilts and character- istic pieces forming the present budget will, by virtue of their collected publication, immediately re-engage the popu- lar favour. All I dare hope for them is that they will be cherished by many — not for their literary quality, perhaps, as some of them deserve to be — but as a species of folk-lore, and as songs and ballads that have been the familiar enter- tainment of the country people of Scotland during three- quarters of the nineteenth century. viii. Preface. • • The collection, I may add, could easily have been made larger, but a line had to be drawn with respect both to quantity and quality. For the old and familiar melodies which appear in the work, and some of them in print now for the first time — melodies, forsooth, which are as characteristically vagabond and national as the ballads they are wedded to, and whose names they bear — my special and grateful thanks are due, and freely acknowledged, to Mr. D. Kippen, of Criefi^, from whom, as will be seen in the notes to the songs, textual help has also been occasionally received. To Mr. George Riddell, Fraserburgh, I am indebted for the melody of " Mormond Braes.*" R. F. Glasgow, 1898. i I CONTENTS.

Who, I wonder, is he that was reared in any country district in Scotland and if old enough to have cnt his wisdom teeth and never heard the rarely humorous, graphic, and rattling song of " The Tinklers' Waddin','* which is quite a classic of its kind, though seldom met with in printed form f Even when printed the author's name has not been attached. Tet we know that it was written by William Watt, who was bom at West Linton, Peeblesshire, in 1792, and was author, besides, of the inimitable song of *' Kate Dalrymple." Watt, who was a weaver to trade, cultivated with success the three sister arts of poesy, paint- ing, and music. In his early career he removed to East Kilbride, where for a time he was Parish Kirk precentor. Two editions of his poems were published during his life— one in 1835 and another in 1844 — both of which sold rapidly. k third and last edition, issued in four monthly parts, one shilling each, and comprising in all 838 pages, appeared soon after hii death. He died as late 'as 1869. THE LAIRD O' DRUM. The Laird o^ Drum has a-hmiting gane. All in the morning early ; And he has spied a weel-faur^d May A-shearing her father^s barley.

Inflexible ' Kingsmen/ their names appear in the records of almost every stirring period, from the battle of Harlaw, where they were represented by ' Gnde Sir Alexander Irvine, Qlie mnch*renowned Laird of Drum, Kane in his days was better seen, When they were semblit all and some,' down to the Great Rebellion, when another Alexander received the compliment of excommunication at the hands of the Covenanters on account of his devotion to the cause of Charles L, and was under sentence of death when rescued by the Marquis of Montrose. This latter Alexander is the Laird of Drum celebrated in the following ballad. His first wife was a daughter of the Marquis of Huntly ; but in his advanced years he took to himself a second of humble degree, Mar- garet Coutts by name, an alliance which gave great offence to his kindred, but which seems to have gratified the commons, with whom the ballad is still a fkvourite." Certainly this last statement is true, for there is no ploughman's bothy in Scotland in which " The Laird o' Drum " has not been sung timet without number, and the copy here printed is the pure bothy version of the ballad— preferable in every way to Buchan's, Kinloch's, or Aytonn's copies of it THE JOLLY BEGGAR.

James, when he wandered abroad among his people in the disgoise of the *'gademan o' Ballengeich," was moved largely to this romantic iasne by a sincere regard for the well-being of his hambler subjects, for the protection of the oppressed, and the punishment of crime ; and the abuses he thus dis- covered, and subsequently remedied, gave him the complimentary and merited title of '*the King of the Commons." The song of '*The Jolly Beggar," not- withstanding, reveals quite a real feature in his character ; and a tradition is recorded by Percy which narrates how the King used to visit a smith's dauj^ter at Niddry, near Edinburgh. His adventures there possibly form the ground of the song, and suggested also, we may presume, his not less graphic ballad of "The Gaberlunzieman." "The Jolly Beggar*' is generally epitomized. It appears here entire. 12 Vagabond Song's and Ballads. THE LASS O^ GLENSHEE. Ae braw summer day, when the heather was blooming. And the silent hiUs hummed wi** the honey-lade bee, I met a fair maid as I hameward was roaming, A-herdin^ her sheep on the hills o^ Glenshee. The rose on her cheek, it was gem^d wi"* a dimple. And blithe was the blink o^ her bonnie blue e^e ; Her face was enchanting sae sweet and sae simple, My heart soon belanged to the lass o^ Glenshee. I kissed and caressed her, and said, ** My dear lassie. If you will but gang to St Johnstone wi^ me, There^s nane o^ the fair shall set foot on the causeway Wi^ clothing mair fine than the lass o^ Glenshee. ** A carriage o^ pleasure ye shaU ha'^e to ride in. And folks shaU say * madam ^ when they speak to thee ; An' servants ye'll ha'e for to beck at your biddin^ ; ni make you my lady, sweet lass o' Glenshee.'" ^* Oh ! mock na me, sir, wi' your carriage to ride in. Nor think that your grandeur I value a flee ; I would think myseP blessed in a coatie o' plaidin\ Wi** an innocent herd on the hills o' Glenshee.'" ** Believe me, dear lassie, Caledonia's clear waters May alter their course and run back frae the Her brave, hardy sons may submit to the fetters. But alter what will FU be constant to thee. The Lass o' Glenshee. 18 ** The lark may forget his sweet sang in the momin\ The spring may forget to revive on the lea, But never will I, while my senses do govern, Forget to be kind to the lass o^ Glenshee.'" ^* Oh, leave me, sweet lad, for Fm sure I would blunder, An^ set a* the gentry a-laughin^ at me ; They are book-taught in manners, baith auld and young yonder, A thing we ken nocht o^ up here in Glenshee. " They would say, look at him wi"* his dull Highland lady, Set up for a show in a window sae hie. Rolled up like a witch in a hameit-spim plaidie. And, pointing, they^d jeer at the lass o^ Glenshee.**^ ** Dinna think o^ sic stories, but come up behind me. Ere Phcebus gae round my sweet bride you shall This night, in my arms, Fll dote on you kindly ; She smiled, she consented, I took her wi** me. fi Now years ha^e gane by since we buskit thegither, And seasons ha^e changed, but nae change is wi^ me, She^s ever as gay as the fine summer weather, When the sun^s at its height on the hills o^ Glenshee. To meet wi^ my Jenny my life I would venture, She^s sweet as the echo that rings on the lea ; She^s spotless and pure as the snaw-robe o^ winter, When laid out to bleach on the hills o^ Glenshee. 14 Vagabond Songs and Ballads. Few ballads of its class have eiyoyed a more intimate lease of popularity in the contiguous shires of Perth, Forfar, and Fife than this. Its story, it will be seen, is somewhat similar to that of " The Laird o' Drum," and may refer to a Perthshire alliance of the same character. But of that we liave no data. This we know only, that the ballad was composed by a Perth man, Andrew Sharpe, who was author besides of the once popular bi^lad of *' Corunna's Lone Shore.'* Sharpe was a shoemaker to trade, and, in addition to beating leather on a lap- stone, he played the German flute and taught it, painted landscapes and taught drawing, and composed love songs and sang them. He died at Bridgend, Perth, on the 6th February, 1817, and lies buried on the sunny side of the old church of Einnoull. An upright slab marks the spot, and bears this quaint but expressive epitaph, written by himself some years before his death : — " Halt for a moment, passenger, and read. Here Andrew dozes in his daisied bed ; Silent his flute, and torn off the key ; His pencils scattered, and his muse set free.** Also this addition by his wife :— " An affectionate husband, a faithful fnend, and an honest man." The well-known duet, " The Crookit Bawbee,** which was sung into fame by the late Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Nimmo, of Ayr, and over which a lengthened and ruinous law plea was waged having reference to the copyright of the music, is simply a free adaptation of this rustic yet wonderftUly fascinating ballad.

Few songs have enlivened the ploughmen's bothies of Scotland more fre- qaentli|r than this ^happily couoelved and richly humorous ditty, which may occasionally be heard emanating, besides, from the village inns, the smiddies, or the cottage ingle-nooks in the land. The more popular and effective way of rendering it is for the singer to be seated on a chair or form, and to beat a mill- ciapper-like accompaniment with his elbows and fists, or with an empty brose- caup, on a table before him. In Perthshire, to which couuty it particularly belongs, it has enjoyed, per- haps, the greatest popularity. Its author, David Webster, born in 1787, was a native of Dunblane. He was a weaver to trade, and died at Paisley in 1837. Another song of Webster's, " Donald Gunn," is well known in Scottish country circles. B 18 Vagabond Songs and Ballads, YOUNG JAMIE FOYERS. Far distant, far distant, lies Scotia, the brave, No tombstone memorial to hallow his grave ; His bones now lie scattered on the rude soil of Spain, For young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain. From the Perthshire Militia to serve in the line. The brave Forty-Second we sailed away to join ; To Wellington's army we did volunteer. Along with young Foyers, that bold halberdier. That night when we landed the bugle did soimd. The General gave orders to form on the ground, To storm Burgos Castle before the break of day, And young Jamie Foyers to lead on the way. But, mounting the ladder for scaling the wall. By a shot from a French gun young Foyers did fall ; He leaned his right arm upon his left breast, And young Jamie Foyers his comrades addressed : " For you, Robert Percy, that stands a campaign, If goodness should send to auld Scotland again. You will tell my old father, if yet his heart warms. That yomig Jamie Foyers expired in your arms. " But if a few moments in Campsie I were. My mother and sisters my sorrow would share ; Now, alas ! my poor mother, for long may she mourn, Her son, Jamie Foyers, will never return. Young Jamie Foyers, 19 " Oh ! If I had a drink of Baker Brown's Well, My thirst it would quench, and my fever would quell;" But life's purple current was ebbing so fast That young Jamie Foyers soon breathed his last. They took for his winding-sheet his tartan plaid. And in the cold grave his body was laid ; With hearts full of sorrow they covered his clay, And muttering " Poor Foyers ! '" marched slowly away. His father and mother and sisters will mourn. But Foyers, the brave hero, will never return ; His friends and his comrades lament for the brave, Since young Jamie Foyers is laid in his grave. The bugle may sound and the war-drum may rattle, No more will they raise this young hero to battle ; He fell from the ladder like a hero so brave. And rare Jamie Foyers is lying in his grave. lliis typical bothy ballad, which, perhaps, appears in a book now for the first time, was a prime favourite at the harrest homes, foys, and Handsel-Monday gatherings in the rural parts of Perthshire before and aboat the middle of the pre- sent centory. Like the ballads of the olden time generally, its story in the main is presumably based on a matter of fact, so that one Jamie Foyers, from the Perth- shire Militia, went out under the " Iron Duke " to fight the French in Portugal and Spain in 1810, and, as the reward for his heroism, met the fate accorded to him in the verses, may be accepted freely as a bit of real history. The Campsie referred to is, presumably, the village of that name in Stirlingshire, as Foyers is a name that was once common thereabout, and in this Campsie there is, or was, I have been told, a well, known as "Baker Brown's Well." The ballad itself I copied thirty years since from the singing of a Perthshire woman who died less than a year ago. 20 Vagabond Sonffs aiid Ballads. THE BONNIE WEE WINDOW. Tjikre was a young lass, and her name it was Nell, In a bonnie wee hoose wi' her grannie did dwell ; '^The hoose it was wee, but the window was less. It had but four panes, and ane wanted gless. T?was a bonnie wee window, a sweet little window, The bonniest wee window that ever ye saw. For this broken pane they a purpose did fin\ To lat onything oot, or tak' onything in ; But to Nelly it served for a purpose maist dear. For her lovers at nicht cam" a-courtin' her here, At this bonnie wee window, etc. It happened ae nicht grannie gaed to her bed, That Johniiie, the brawest lad young Nelly had, C-am'' far ower the hills his dear lassie to see. And wi** high expectations there planted was he. At this bonnie wee window, etc. But the fond, youthfu' pair hadna got muckle said. When grannie cried, " Nell, come awa** to your bed ! ^ " Fm coming dear grannie,'' young Nelly did say, " So fare-yc-weel, Johnnie, for I maun away Frae this bonnie wee window,'' etc. " Oh ! Nelly, dear lass, dinna tak' it amiss, But before ye gae 'wa' ye maun grant me a kiss," The Bonnie Wee Window. 21 So aff gaed his bannet, but gudeness kens hoo He managed sae quickly to get his head through This bonnie wee window, etc. A kiss Johnnie got, and sweet was the smack. But for his dear life couldna get his head back. He ruggit, he tuggit, he bawled, and he cui-sed Till Nell'*s sides wi' lauchin were baith like to burst, At his head in the window, etc. Noo when the auld grannie did hear the uproar. She rax^d for the poker, syne ran to the door. And ower Johnnie's back sic a thump she laid on, Anither sic like would have cracked his backbone. And his head in the window, etc. A^ burning wi' shame, and smarting wi' pain, He ruggit and tuggit wi'' micht and wi' main. Till the jambs they gicd way and the lintel did break. Though still the best hauf o''t stuck fast to his neck. Twas an awfii^ wee window, etc. As soon as the window in ruins did lie, Auld grannie let out such a horrible cry. It alarm'd a"* the neighbours — lad, lass, man, and wife, And caused poor Johnnie to rin for his life, Frae the bonnie wee window, etc. O'er hill and o'^er dale he pursued his way hame. Like a bear that was hunted, ne'er lookin' behhi' ; 2S Vagabcrtid Songs and Ballads. And the neighbours they followed wi^ clamour and squeals. While some of them hunted their dogs at his heels. T?was a bonnie wee window, etc. When Johnnie got hame, wi' a hatchet did he Frae his wooden gravat syne set himseP free ; But he vow^d that the deil micht tak** him for his ain If he e'*er kissed a lass through a window again, Be she ever sae bonnie, or live wi'' her grannie, Or the bonniest wee lassie that ever he saw. The hamoan of a coaotry ooortahip have never perhaps been more graphi- cally set forth than by the unknown writer of this seldom printed, though well known, song. James Nicholson's " Iniphm," not less popolar, is set to the same tune. THE WEE WIFUKDE. Theee was a wee bit wifukie was comin^ frae the fair, Had got a wee bit drappukie, that bred her meikle care ; It gaed about the wifie^s heart, and she began to spew. Oh ! quo' the wee wifukie, I wish I binna fou. I wish I binna fou, quo' she, I wish I binna fou. Oh ! quo' the wee wifukie, I wish I binna fou. If Johnnie find me barley-sick, Fm sure he'll claw my skin ; But I'll lie down an' tak' a nap before that I gae in. Sitting at the dyke-side, and taking o' her nap. By came a packman laddie wi' a little pack. Wi' a little pack, quo' she, wi' a little pack. By came a packman laddie wi' a little pack. The Wee Wifukie. 83 He^s clippit a"* her gowden locks sae bonnie and sae lang ; He^s ta^en her purse and a"* her placks, and fast awa^ he ran ; And when the wifie waken'*d her head was like a bee, Oh ! quo^ the wee wifukie, this is nae me. This is nae me, quo** she, this is nae me, Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. When I was bonnie Bessukie, my locks were like the gowd, And I looked like ony lassukie, sic times as they were cowed. And Johnnie was aye tellin^ me I was richt fair to see ; But somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. This is nae me, quo^ she, this is na€ me. Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. I met wi' kindly company, and birPd my bawbee ! And still, if this be Bessukie, three placks remain wi^ me. But I will look the pursie nooks, see gin the cunyie be : — There's neither purse nor plack about me ! — this is nae me. This is nae me, quo' she, this is nae me. Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. I have a little housukie, but, and a kindly man ; A dog, they ca' him Doussiekie ; if this be me hell fawn ; And Johnnie, he'll come to the door, and kindly welcome And a' the bairns on the floor will dance if this be me. But this is nae me, quo' she, this is nae me. Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. I 24 Vagabond Songs and Ballads. The nicht was late and dang out weet, and oh but it was dark; The doggie heard a body's foot, and he began to bark. And when she heard the doggie bark, and kennin** it was he, Oh, weel ken ye, Doussie, quo' she, this is nae me. This is nae me, quo' she, this is nae me. Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. When Johnnie heard his Bessie's word, fast to the door he ran : Is that you, Bessukie ? — Wow, na, man ! Be kind to the bairns a', and weel may ye be ; And fareweel, Johnnie, quo' she, this is nae me ! This is nae me, quo' she, this is nae me, Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. John ran to the minister, his hair stood a' on end, Fve gotten sic a fricht, sir, I fear I'll never mend ; My wife's come hame without a head, ci'ying out most piteously, Oh, fareweel, Johnnie, quo' she, this is nae me ! This is nae me, quo' she, this is nae me, Somebody has been felling me, and this is nae me. The tale you tell, the parson said, is wonderful to me. How that a wife, without a head- could speak, or hear, or see ! But things that happen hereabout so strangely alter'd be, That I could maist wi' Bessie say, 'tis neither you nor she. Neither you nor she, quo' he, neither you nor she. Wow na, Johnnie man, 'tis neither you nor she, GUderoy. S5 Now Johnnie he cam' hame again, and oh ! but he was fain To see his little Bessukie come to herseP again. He got her sitting on a stool, wi' Tibbuk on her knee ; Oh ! come awa"*, Johnnie, quo' she, come awa** to me, For Tve got a nap wi' Tibbukie, and this is now me. This is now me, quo' she, this is now me, I've got a nap wi' Tibbukie, and this is now me. This rarely hamorous song, which reveals the folly of excessiye drinking with almost equal success to that achieved by Bums in his immortal poem of " Tarn o' Shanter/' has been generally ascribed to Dr. Alexander G^ddes, a Roman Catholic clergyman, well known for his translation of the Holy Scriptures, and other wo^ks chiefly of a theological cast. Dr. Gteddes was the son of a small farmer in the parish of Ruthven, Banffshire, and was born in the year 1737. He was educated at Paris, and officiated as a priest for several years in different parts of the north of Scotland, but chiefly in the vicinity of Dundee. Latterly he settled in London, where he died in 1802. By Allan Cunningham, Dr. Hatdy Waddell, and other biographers of Burns, this Dr. Alexander Geddes, has been mistaken for Dr. John Gtoddes, his cousin, an assistant Bishop of the Romish Church, in Edinburgh, who was the esteemed friend of the poet and his fair correspondent "Clarinda." Dr. John, an excellent gentleman, was known in Edinburgh as "the most fashionable man in this city," but Dr. Alexander, by virtue of his one clever and original song, enjoys a greater and, as time will prove, a more abiding fame. The fourth verse in the present Version I discovered recently in an old chap-book oopy of the song. Whoever cast it out did so without warrant, and with questionable taste. GILDEROY. O GiLDEROY was a bonnie boy ; Had roses till his shoon ; His stockings were of silken soy, Wi"* garters hangin** doun. 26 Vagabond Songs and BaUads. It was, I ween, a comely sight To see sae trim a boy ; He was my joy, my heart's delight, My handsome Gilderoy. O, sic twa charming een he had ; His breath as sweet's a rose ; He never wore a Highland plaid, But costly silken clothes ; He gained the love of ladies gay, Nane e'er to him was coy ; Ah, wae's me ! I mourn the day. For my dear Gilderoy. My Gilderoy and I were bom Baith in a'e toun thegither : We scant were seven years before We 'gan to love each other. Our daddies and our mammies, thev Were fiU'd with meikle joy To think upon the bridal day 'Twixt me and Gilderoy. For Gilderoy, that love of mine, Gude faith, I freely bought A wedding sark of hoUand fine, Wi' silken flowers wrought. And he gied me a wedding ring. Which I received with joy ; Nae lad and lassie ere could sing Like me and Gilderoy. GUderoy. S7 Wr meikle joy we spent our prime. Till we were baith sixteen ; And aft we passed the langsome time Amang the leaves sae green ; Aft on the banks we^d sit us there, And sweetly kiss and toy ; Wi^ garlands gay wad deck my hair, My handsome Gilderoy. O, that he still had been content Wi^ me to lead his life ; But ah, his manfu^ heart was bent To stir in feats of strife ; And he in many a venturous deed His courage bauld wad try. And now this gars my heart to bleed For my dear Gilderoy. And when of me his leave he took. The tears they wat mine e'e. I gave him a love-parting look. My benison gang wi' thee ! Grod speed thee weel, mine ain dear heart. For gane is all my joy ; My heart is rent sith we maim part, My handsome Gilderoy. My Gilderoy baith far and near Was feared in ilka toun. And bauldly bear away the gear Of mony a lowland loun ; I 28 Vagabond Songs and Ballads, Nane e^er durst meet him hand to hand, He was sae brave a boy, At length wf numbers he was ta'en. My handsome Gilderoy. The Queen of Scots possessit noucht That my love lat me want ; For cow and ewe he to me broucht. And e'en when they were scant ; All those did honestly possess. He never did annoy. Who never failed to pay their cess To my love Gilderoy. Wae worth the loon that made the laws To hang a man for gear ! To reave of life for ox or ass. For sheep, or horse, or mear. Had not the laws been made so strict I ne'er had lost my joy ; Wi' sorrow ne'er had wat my cheek For my dear Gilderoy. Gif Gilderoy had done amiss. He micht have banished been ; Ah, what sair cruelty is this. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'vagabondsongsan01fordgoog_1', 'collection': 'US-PD-Books', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '1899.0', 'title': 'Vagabond Songs and Ballads of Scotland: With Many Old and Familiar Melodies', 'creator': 'None', 'language': 'English', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '8038', 'token_count': '12357', '__index_level_0__': '6609', 'original_id': '5cc1ae3dc6fc2ca8b5f2c84c4717a5c51c4c3e7f41dd366932e2db6ef8be2a4f'} |

White Haze is sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa/30% indica) that is a potent cross between the infamous and hugely popular White Widow X Haze strains. This dank bud won the 2002 High Times’ Cannabis Cup for Best Sativa in 2002 and boasts a THC level ranging from 17-19% on average. Users describe the White Haze high as having an immediate euphoric energetic rush without any sedation or couch-lock. You’ll be motivated and focused with a powerful urge to be active rather than stay still. This is accompanied by a mild warming body buzz with significant pain relief that only adds to the energetic White Haze high. Due to these potent effects, White Haze is said to be an ideal strain for treating patients suffering from conditions such as migraines or tension headaches, chronic stress or anxiety, and nerve damage. White Haze has a memorable aroma of woody earth and a taste of earthy pine that becomes savory upon exhale. The White Haze buds have small to medium-sized spade-shaped neon green nugs that are incredibly leafy and packed with thin fiery orange hairs and a fine layer of milky white trichomes. These nugs are absolutely dripping with resin, making them extremely sticky to the touch. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '3', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.902207612991333}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '59548', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:3NHQ425N2MJGMJ623R2NS6ZXLDKOQ4TB', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:949f85ea-2c36-49e0-a2f2-c9e40632ab50>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 12, 8, 12, 0, 32), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.67.212.68', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Z63D3R5PGSOB5XTI7O4NEP5ZODR46JAS', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:08133edd-70a3-462d-b14e-07ed095f534d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://delta9-weed.com/product/white-haze-marijuana-strain/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a45ec9da-a778-4568-b390-0b4fafa303c1>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '243', 'url': 'https://delta9-weed.com/product/white-haze-marijuana-strain/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-49\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November/December 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-182\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.04656624794006348', 'original_id': 'd4d1df7b3121773e4574e18cca92a7ebdfbb9098643f4c738fa1b1ff54a09b58'} |
Societies that value the rights of the individual recognize that people are generally entitled to privacy. However, under certain circumstances, societies may have a compelling need to know about the locations and activities of individuals. In particular it would be advantageous to observe, track and/or identify individuals entering a private or secure location. It would also be advantageous to observe, track and/or identify individual planning to carry out a crime or an act of terrorism. It would also be advantageous to observe, track and/or identify lost, injured, or confused child or adult who does not have the means or competency to contact parents, guardians, other family members, or helping professionals. Lack of competency may reflect lack of maturity or cognitive impairment due to problems such as intellectual deficiency, brain injury, senile dementia, or Alzheimer's disease. In these cases, society has a legitimate interest in tracking and, perhaps, intercepting people.
Private and government agencies attempt to secure property, information, and people in order to prevent illegal acts against persons or property and, after such acts have been committed, to locate, identify, and apprehend perpetrators. The need for such security has grown dramatically in the twenty-first century. Increased numbers of private and public security personnel guard facilities and attempt to control access to an ever growing group of restricted areas. However, security personnel cannot be everywhere. Therefore, there is a pressing need for automatic systems that will operate in various locations around the clock, and when necessary alert security personnel.
Methods such as security cameras and automatic locking systems enable security personnel to monitor and limit access to many environments from a single location. However, such systems are typically limited to enclosed facilities that tend to keep private records.
Public and private organizations gather and store records for purposes of retrieving information at a later date. For example, telephone service providers keep records of telephone calls, including the telephone numbers of callers and recipients, the time the call was made, the duration of the call, charges associated with the call, and the like. Such data is captured, managed, stored, preserved, and retrievable upon request. Although the main purpose of keeping such records is usually billing, government and private agencies can also use such records in investigatory work. However, the utility of these records is limited because they contain a select and limited amount of information.
More extensive records and analysis are sometimes generated by retail corporations, such as Wal-Mart, which gather data about customers at check-out and online. Such data includes Social Security numbers, drivers' license numbers, credit card information, and a history of products purchased. This data is used mainly for marketing and inventory purposes, to target consumers who may be interested in particular products and to stock stores according to expected demand. Data concerning consumer purchasing is mapped across computer models to forecast future consumer behavior. This methodology has found, for example, that product consumption varies depending on geographic regions, cultural background, and time of year.
The first stage in the use of prediction models is the collection of appropriate data. From this data, patterns are deduced. Prediction models derive anticipated behaviors with degrees of confidence that are based on the regularity or variability of the targeted behavior. For example, retail stores stock certain merchandise for particular events based on forecasts obtained from the analysis of consumer behavior. In another context, cellular networks use prediction models to locate a mobile host (MH) the method facilitates the efficient allocation of bandwidth.
Prediction models are also used informally and formally by law enforcement agencies to forecast criminal behavior. Forecasting enables the agencies to efficiently allocate personnel. When processing means are employed, information technology personnel acquire and enter data concerning the nature and frequency of crimes committed in various neighborhoods. Analysis of this data enables them to forecast future events in these neighborhoods. More officers, or officers with special skills, can then be assigned to high-crime areas.
Government agencies are also developing systems for tracking and identifying individuals as well as events. Identification capabilities have increased with the introduction of biometric technologies. Every person possesses distinct and, typically, invariant biometric characteristics. Current biometric methods include DNA pattern recognition, body geometry feature recognition (ear, hand, finger, etc.), skin recognition (fingerprints, palmprints, etc.), facial recognition, optical recognition (retinal scan, iris scan, etc.), voice recognition, signature recognition, keystroke recognition, vascular pattern recognition, infrared identification (face, hand, hand vein, etc.), odor recognition, and the like.
Biometric systems commonly comprise verification and identification modes. Biometric verification systems are used in industry, Internet security, airport security, and the like. So-called “smart cards” can be fitted with memory chips that contain physiological data about the individual card holder. Then, in order to confirm the identity of the card holder, separate biometric device captures a sample of the individuals physiological data, for example, by scanning a fingerprint or the person's iris, and then compares the newly scanned data with data stored in the smart card. If the data from both sources matches, it is inferred that the individual bearing the card is the same as the individual whose data was stored in the card. Government agencies may implement such verification systems in mass transit environments, such as railways, seaports, and airports. Workers and visitors might be given a universal security card loaded with biometric data for authentication, in contrast to the plurality of individual cards we find in most present systems. However, though biometric verification systems may show that the person bearing the card is the same as the one whose data is stored in the card, they do not necessarily connect with any remote database to obtain the identity of the person or information as to whether or not the person is on, say, a watch list. The present invention, by contrast, advantageously endeavors to match newly captured biometric data with data stored in remote databases to determine the identity of the individual and make a background check.
Biometric personal identification systems rely on databases populated with biometric samples and the corresponding current identification of individuals. When a new biometric sample is captured, it is compared against one or more databases to identify the individual. Such identification systems use a biometric identifier or sensing device to capture data from an individual prior to permitting access to, for example, a venue, a facility, or a computer network. If the currently captured data corresponds with stored data, a signal can indicate whether or not the individual should be granted access to the location. Other uses of such systems include keeping records of individuals present in work environments, school environments, hotels, sporting events, or school buses. Security personnel at Super Bowls and holiday events have used facial recognition techniques to scan the crowd and compare currently-captured faces with faces stored in databases of criminals and missing children. However, biometric identification systems currently in use do not necessarily augment the pre-populated databases. Data which finds no match in the databases may well be discarded. Therefore, no running record is made of the appearances and activities of all scanned individuals. It would be advantageous, as in the present invention, to have the capacity to monitor the activity of any individual sensed by the system and create a record based on newly captured data.
Overall, the utility of current biometric verification and identification systems is limited in that these systems missing part of the “puzzle” that would make them exponentially more useful. What is needed is a system that can collect a plurality of biometric data on people in a plurality of locations, store and catalogue the data, and retrieve it at any time for purposes of analysis and prediction regardless of whether it matches data in a pre-populated database. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '7e1f4603c3bffb3599b3bc387a71a0d64e96ae9baaabf1e4537246776546abb7'} |

Deadly blaze destroys Calif. community
Firefighting crews poured into San Bruno, Calif., to contain a massive fire which authorities think was started by a gas-line explosion. Several people are feared dead. NBC’s Miguel Almaguer reports.
Share This:
>> on earth in the city of san bruno outside san francisco this morning it was a terrible scene.
>> firefighters are pouring water on the smoldering wreckage after a huge explosion on thursday night sent flames ripping through a residential neighborhood. now, officials aren't exactly sure what sparked the blast, but a ruptured gas main fueled the intense fire.
>> one fire captain says by the time his firefighters arrived, dozens of homes had already been consumed by the flames, even though the fire station is only a few blocks away.
>> we're going to get right to this story. nbc's miguel almaguer is on the scene. miguel , what can you tell us?
>> just shook your body. you could feel the intensity of the fire, and i never felt anything like it.
>> reporter: as twilight turned to night, the fire's footprint continued to grow. it wasn't one house or two, it was dozens engulfed in a wind-whipped, gas-filled fury today make matters worse, the explosion may have ripped through the neighborhood's water main , making a nearby fire hydrant unusable.
>> even if we had that water supply , it wouldn't have -- we could not have extinguished that fire until the gas line was shut down.
>> reporter: with temperatures in the thousands of degrees, the only way in was from the air. firefighting planes roared overhead, dumping retardant in the middle of single-lane streets to keep the fire from spreading. helicopters made targeted assaults from one rooftop to another, but so much had already been lost and the fire's fuel seemed never-ending.
>> we have declared a disaster, a local disaster in the city of san bruno , which has been confirmed through the state, and we will be accessing federal resources.
>> reporter: soon, it looked more like a raging grass fire , not the middle of a crowded neighborhood. a string of burning embers lit up the night, a fiery domino incinerating block after block. throughout the night, firefighters struggled to get the upper hand on the inferno as one fire seemed to burn itself out, a fresh one would start. the city's fire chief said he's never seen anything like it.
>> no, and i don't want to again.
>> reporter: although the cause of the fire remains uncertain, the local gas company, pg&e, acknowledged that one of its gas transmission lines had ruptured.
>> if the investigation were to turn up that some of our facilities were involved in this, we will do what's right.
>> reporter: as the fire slowly turned from an inferno into something still terrible but manageable, rescuers began driving street by street looking for anyone trapped or injured, but fire crews say getting to the epicenter of the explosion probably won't happen until later today , a crater in the middle of a neighborhood that will never be the same. over the last few days, some neighbors had complained of a gas smell in this area. investigators are looking into that. in the meantime, come daybreak here, search dogs will look at the blast zone and comb that area looking for anyone who didn't make it out. matt?

Abuse PTSD The People Behind My Eyes
Not #MeToo
My own reaction to first hearing about Kevin Spacey was skepticism. I immediately gave him the benefit of the doubt. Why? I did so because I’ve seen his face. I’ve seen his work and I liked him. He looks harmless. I even became defensive when they called him a predator. I thought they convicted him in the media without proof. Then I saw that House of Cards cancelled and I thought, hang on guys, how can you cancel a show based on one accusation? It took a minute, just one, to realize that Hollywood didn’t leave behind a successful, money making show based on one accusation 20 yrs ago. It stands to reason they knew a fall out was to come. It would appear that Kevin Spacey is in fact a known predator of young boys.
I’ve watched this Hollywood #MeToo situation unfold and find myself disgusted because the predators they are now bringing beyond Hollywood lights have been allowed to hunt and hurt for years. Why were they allowed to hurt others with a hush-hush? Money. Power. Position. People knew about Bill Cosby. They knew about Weinstein. They’ve known about Woody Allen and they knew about Spacey. They knew but we didn’t.
I would say that some actors may have needed an opening to speak. They may not have had the courage to speak up. Others were flat out cowards who knew what was going on but did nothing. I think of Roseann Barr and how she said it was well known that Bill Cosby is a predator. If so, why didn’t Barr and others go to the authorities? Why did she and others wait until it was convenient to call him out and convenient to support the claims of all those women?
Lets get back to how easily I stopped believing victims just because I like the actor. I’m a survivor. This blog is primarily about surviving abuse from my mother, her family and family friends. I have made the heart stopping statement that this body of mine was raped at age three until the age of nineteen. I know what it means to be afraid, brainwashed and to be silenced. I know what it means to feel humiliated and disbelieved, so why did I immediately question the legitimacy of this young man’s story? It’s simple and disturbing. I identify with the actor accused. But a predator can be a familiar face and even those of us who are survivors can fall to disbelief and skepticism. It is my hope that people will use their ability to reason on facts and let that reason override familiarity and a kind face.
This entire situation has become a circus side show, a typical Hollywood production. That being the case, I wish to remove my name from the #MeToo voice. I feel it has lost its power and is does not help survivors, but may in fact be harmful to their truth. Hollywood is at it again, they’re putting on a show. How dare Hollywood begin a shout of healing when for decades they harbored and facilitated abusers? No, I want no part of the #MeToo side show.

The Oxfordshire Economic Observatory: promoting the understanding of the Oxfordshire knowledge-economy
The Oxfordshire Economic Observatory (OEO) is an independent research centre dedicated to undertaking world-class research into the knowledge-economy of advanced regions. It focuses particularly on the cluster of firms and research institutions that comprise the Oxfordshire knowledge-economy, in the context of the South East of England.
The Observatory aims to promote an understanding of the interaction of local, national and global processes shaping the path of economic development in Oxfordshire. This will be benchmarked against the performance of other advanced regions. The objective is for this knowledge to be used to further the growth of the county's firms by contributing to evidence-based policy making.
The Observatory will monitor both short and long term trends. It will work together with local, regional, national and international organisations which have an interest in understanding and promoting the Oxfordshire economy and its competitive ranking against similar regions. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9136154055595398}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '6771', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JB5X74PADZWQ6UVAUWHOOCSCSQ2B6HWE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a614d4ce-bf67-4cc8-8c6d-d635536eb3bf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 22, 23, 18, 30), 'WARC-IP-Address': '163.1.32.232', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:S4NP2SCBBYT5FTWNLSQNJSZAPCY3VJG3', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:abf263f2-6ff1-49d4-a9bd-01776ed74093>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://oeo.geog.ox.ac.uk/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f7804cac-bead-4fd1-a3b1-0b825214afcd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '156', 'url': 'http://oeo.geog.ox.ac.uk/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-242-24.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': '0.33452796936035156', 'original_id': '7fb0149cd35145257e4f3e5d433775ac4e25ea95ae0fe0f3ff562aaf4eec5728'} |

A view, based on a number of experiences from people in quite diverse cultures, that there is a transcendental Reality in the world, usually identified by mystics of the various different religions as their particular deity, i.e., God, Allāh, Śiva, etc. The mystic experience has been described by a large number of different writers, drawing from accounts of the experience by the mystics themselves. Most notable among those writers are Evelyn Underhill (Mysticism, 1955; several reprints; also The Mystic Way, 1913; Practical Mysticism, 1914; and The Essential of Mysticism, 1920), W. R. Inge (Christian Mysticism, 1899; Mysticism in Religion, 1948), William James (The Varieties of Religions Experience, 1902; several reprints), A. E. Waite (Studies in Mysticism, 1906), Aldous Huxley (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945), Rudolf Otto (Mysticism East and West, 1932), Richard Maurice Bucke (Cosmic Consciousness, 1902), Walter T. Stace (Mysticism and Philosophy, 1960), and F. C. Happold (Mysticism: a study and an anthology, 1966). Among theosophical authors who have written on the subject are C. Jinar€jad€sa (The Divine Vision, 1928; Quest edition, 1973) and Raynor Johnson (The Imprisoned Spendour, 1953; Nurslings of Immortality, 1957; and Watcher on the Hills: a study of some mystical experiences of ordinary people, 1959).
There have been a number of different attempts to describe the nature of the mystic experience, even though mystics themselves state that the experience is ineffable. Happold, for instance, lists ineffability, transiency, passivity, oneness, timelessness, egolessness, and incommunicable gnosis. William James lists ineffability, transiency, passivity, and incommunicable gnosis. Rudolf Otto lists awfulness (perhaps better put as awesomeness), overpoweringness, urgency (or energy), fascination, and a feeling of a Being which is “wholly other” (i.e., transcendence). Interestingly, one of the simplest descriptions of the basic nature of the mystic experience was by the noted anti-mystic philosopher, Bertrand Russell, in his Mysticism and Logic (1918; reprinted 1963) in which he identified four elements reported by mystics: a profound feeling of oneness, a sense of overwhelming love, a feeling of timelessness, and a conviction that everything was perfectly just. The latter element is interesting because even though mystics have felt things are perfectly “right” the way they are, many mystics have been among the world’s greatest social reformers, feeling that improvement was possible and even essential. Such reform efforts usually conflicted with the authorities of a religion, e.g., the Muslim mystic Al-Hallaj even stated “I am the Truth” which implied that he was God, which led to his execution by orthodox Muslims. In other words, the experience sometimes causes the mystic to subordinate his or her loyalty to a given religious institution, its clergy and orthodox theology, even though in later centuries — when the mystic has been dead a long time — the institution honors or reveres those mystics which it decried or even burned at the stake during the mystic’s lifetime. Some authors have suggested that the mystics are, therefore, the life-blood of a religion.
Jinar€jad€sa described the mystical experience as an immediate apprehension of the sacred, the holy, the divine. He pointed out that the implication is that true religion transcends specific theologies and points to the fact that “all religions, all faiths . . . worship the true and the living God everywhere” (Divine Vision, Quest ed. p. 17). He also says that “when you have gained the vision — even if only a fleeting vision — of man as seen by God, then . . . you begin to see the archetypes behind them all [i.e., all religions and all human beings], and your judgment becomes so different from that of [other] men” (loc. cit., p. 14). In The Nature of Mysticism (TPH 1917, 1934), he classified different types of the mystical experience as the mysticism of grace, the mysticism of love, pantheistic mysticism, nature mysticism, sacramental mysticism, and theosophical mysticism (the last of which involves what is termed Discipleship). In some theosophical circles a distinction is made between mysticism and occultism, with what Jinar€jad€sa terms “theosophical mysticism” usually classified as a form of occultism and identified as quite different from the usual mystical experience. Other writers, such as Bucke, have pointed out that even the mystical experience can take two different forms: nature mysticism and divine mysticism. In the first, the experience is that of feeling at one with all of nature; in the second, the experience is that of feeling one with a transcendent Reality. This is sometimes classified as extravertive mysticism and introvertive mysticism, although those categories sound a bit pejorative.
It seems obvious from a report of the experience from a wide variety of different peoples in different cultures and religions that the mystic experience involves a process in which consciousness becomes expanded beyond its normal limits and ordinary rational processes are temporarily dominated by non-rational, unconscious, and even super-conscious states. The clear theosophical implication is that the human being has levels of consciousness beyond those dominated by brain activity. Although this does not prove the theosophical premise that humans are septenary beings, it does open one’s mind to the fact that humans are more than just physical bodies.
The distinction between mysticism and occultism is an important one from a theosophical point of view. Occultism, as theosophy uses the term, always includes the mystical life, that is, the spiritual and transcendent life (otherwise it becomes just the practice of the “occult arts”). But mysticism does not necessarily include occultism. Occultism is the science of the unseen universe (from “occultus” which means “hidden”). Occultism implies an understanding of the inner forces of nature that govern human growth and evolution, and thus the treading of the spiritual path is one that is deliberate and based on time-tested knowledge and principles. On the other hand, a mystic may or may not be able to explain or even understand what is happening to oneself, and may not be able to formally recognize that it is a mystical process. Examples of the latter are the cases mentioned by William James in his book Varieties of Religious Experience involving spontaneous mystical experiences of common people, or the experiences of Charles Kingsley, J. A. Symonds, or of Alfred Tennyson since his boyhood.
While a mystical experience is authoritative for the person who has it, it obviously cannot convince others who have not, unless they are predisposed in that direction. No experience, however momentous, can satisfactorily settle theological questions for everyone. But to a theosophist, who approaches the subject without the preconditioning of a specific religion, the mystical experience demonstrates that all religions ultimately derive from the same Source. Annie Besant, in her Seven Great Religions (TPH, 1902; several reprints), contended that within each of the world’s religions is a common wisdom tradition, a single spiritual truth, and that the mystic experience clearly proves this. Bhagavan Das, too, in his Essential Unity of All Religions (TPH, 1932; enl. ed. 1939; Quest ed. 1966) makes the same point. Nevertheless, philosophers such as Bertrand Russell and modern scholars such as Steven T. Katz (cf. his Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis, 1978, or Mysticism and Religious Traditions, 1983) challenge that claim, suggesting that the experience cannot be separated from the mystic’s socio-historical context and theological setting. This “empirical” approach tends to denigrate the experience. Evelyn Underhill by contrast, identifies the mystic as “the pioneer of Life on its age-long voyage to the One: and shows us, in his attainment, the meaning and the value of that life” (Mysticism, p. 447). Theosophists, clearly, would agree with Underhill’s statement and disagree with Russell and Katz.

Rossini’s Exercise to Balance the Registers
“When I went back to stay in Bologna after abandoning my theatrical career, I was entirely taken up with the teaching of singing at the Liceo. I just mentioned homogeneity of timbre, equalization of the registers. Here, for example, is a model of the exercises that I prescribed, thanks to which I obtained astonishing results. It is simple, and the pupil himself, given a good ear, came to be able to correct himself.” Then, sitting down at the piano, the Maestro struck the following notes:

“After which the same exercise was continued through ascending semitones C-C-sharp, D-D-sharp, E, etc., to the limit of the voice’s tessitura, variable according to age and to the progress of the martyr or victim,” Rossini said, exchanging a smile with his illustrious former pupil Alboni.
“Without that first discipline, aimed at developing equality of timbre over the whole range of the organ, a voice, no matter how richly endowed by nature it may be, always will remain completely defective. Isn’t that the case, what’s more, with the brain, the most generous innate capacities of which demand long, studious effort if they are to acquire their full value?”
Michotte, Edmond, et al. Richard Wagner’s Visit to Rossini (Paris 1860): And, An Evening at Rossini’s in Beau-Sejour (Passy) 1858. Translated from the French and Annotated, with an Introd. and Appendix, by Herbert Weinstock. University Press, 1968.
One thought on “Rossini’s Exercise to Balance the Registers
1. Great exercise. In the voice studio quite challenging for lots of beginners. You can simplify it by just using eight notes: 81-71-61-51-41-31-21 and then ascend 12-13-14-15-16-17-18 (1 being tonic and 8 the octave). Same principle but much easier to memorize for beginning musicians. With the added bonus of memorizing the basic major scale and its intervals. More complex triplets: 818-717-616..etc. and ascending 181-282-383 etc. Hope this makes the objective more accessible.

This post was submitted by one of our corporation mentorsWilliam Darkheart
Hello corp! We now have a buyback program for ore, minerals and planetary commodities.
This spreadsheet will be your guide. The tabs in the spreadsheet should be self explanatory, but here is the breakdown:
Ore and Minerals – Buyback price for ore and minerals
Ice and Gas – Buyback price for ice and gas
Planetary Interaction – Buyback price for planetary commodities
Mining Payouts per Ship – Mining payouts for paid corp mining ops
What to Mine? - The ore you should focus on mining
Data – Data pulled from the EVE API
Type ID – Information used to pull data in the previous sheet
One of the benefits of our corporation buy back program is that it will alleviate you from having to haul the minerals so you can stay in the belts making money. Another benefit is that proceeds of the program go to the corporation wallet which, in turn, goes right back to you guys in the form of ship replacement and stocking the corp hangars with free modules and ammo To use the program just set up a private Item Exchange contract to William Darkheart in any high sec station within 5 jumps of HQ. Use the values from spreadsheet column “OUR BUY PRICE” to calculate the ISK amount you will receive. To use buy back in low security systems you will need to notify William Darkheart in game with the station you plan to use so it can be scouted and have bookmarks made for safe hauling. The program will not buy items in null security space; you'll have to haul your items to an acceptable low sec or high sec station. It is best to talk with William Darkheart before setting up planets as he can advise what products the corp needs most and a good location to use.
Official corporation mining fleets will be paid hourly according to the “Mining Payouts per Ship” tab for the ship you are flying. All of the minerals mined will go directly to corp and pilots who participate will be paid for their time. These ops are not mandatory, but they are a good way to relax and hang out with all the good people in corp while making some ISK and helping us provide all of you with free ships! The op commander will be setting mining priorities, but we usually end up clearing the belts completely out, so don't worry too much about which ore to mine. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9cdc7197f5dfbc34d1811ead96010c2b1d3e564cc4ab4ebd1636004733f9f0c5'} |

Chapter Text
It was mid-afternoon by the time Steve Rogers drove into Beacon Hills, legs stiff from hours on the road and shirt sticking to his skin. He took it slow on the highway into town to admire the beautiful forest surrounding the county, but eventually the midsummer heat became too much for him. He pulled into a small business-looking district, driving through the outer edges of the town until he’d at least given a cursory-glance at all the motels the town had to offer. He wanted to know where to go later tonight.
Believe it or not, I originally had planned to start this story with Steve just pulling up to the Stilinskis’ house, but it seemed a bit too out of the blue and I ended up throwing all this extra stuff in, namely to set the scene and give both Steve and the reader a better idea of what they were walking into.
For now, he found a dive bar to hole up in through the midafternoon heat.
He parked his bike in the barebones shade of a wilting tree, breathing in a sigh of relief as he adjusted the shoulder straps of his backpack for the first time in over a hundred miles.
Is 100 miles really such a long distance for non-Americans? Apparently, it’s really weird for some non-American readers that Steve would drive a hundred miles in one go, but I’ve done twice that multiple times in my life (quadruple that multiple times in my life if you don’t count 5-10 min bathroom breaks). And slight 5B spoiler, but it’s absolutely feasible that Scott and Stiles could’ve driven from California to New Mexico overnight, especially since they can switch off on driving and were going to stop as little as possible.
The bar wasn’t completely empty, but it was empty enough that Steve had no problem ordering a dark beer and some garlic fries as he curled in on himself at a table in a shadowy corner of the bar, keeping the bill of his hat low enough to obscure his face without making it too obvious he was trying to hide.
Have you seen that “Team Ballcap” thing? Like, Steve wearing a cap, Bucky wearing a cap, Sam wearing a cap…yeah, I absolutely believe this is the reason. You’d be amazed at how much you can hide yourself and your face with just a bit of clever angling, and no one even realizing it.
Half the other patrons were also on their own, most reading something on a smart phone, though there were a few pairs of friends quietly chatting as well. It was the slow hour after lunch but before people got off of work, and Steve made a mental note to leave once rush hour started.
He waited until the beer and fries arrived before pulling out his tablet. A password, a number code, and a finger print scan, and he was in, yet again perusing the files on Beacon Hills.
This was originally several paragraphs of what SHIELD thought of Beacon Hills historically, and a lot of Steve repeatedly running into redacted files and eventually giving up. But that conflicted too much with what I planned later so I cut it out and made it this vague little paragraph below.
For a small town where nothing happened, a lot sure seemed to happen. It had a long history of unusual crimes and bizarre animal attacks, enough that SHIELD had the town on its radar – even after the deaths of a family full of people who SHIELD suspected of being not quite human.
But not TOO vague. If you pay attention to Chapter 4 (and Chapter 5, once it comes out), no one ever says Derek’s last name when talking about him to Steve. Or any of the Hales’ last names at all. And they’re not going to, not until [REDACTED], at which point Steve will [REDACTED]. >:)
Steve read through the speculation that perhaps certain myths in human history came from a grain of truth. That maybe humans weren’t the only intelligent or humanoid species on Earth. That maybe various terrorist groups through modern history – dating all the way back to HYDRA – were on to something when they investigated mythology to see where it ran right into history.
So, popular history states that the Nazis were obsessed with the occult. This both was and was not true. The Ahnenerbe was originally founded to study “Aryan history” and basically prove white people once ruled the world and basically justify the Nazi regime. It just so happens that Heinrich Himmler, the guy who founded and ran it, was really into occultism, so he turned it into his own personal occult and pseudo-science research society. The Ahnenerbe was what HYDRA was based off of, except instead of just occult, they found and used alien technology. However, the Nazis as a whole were not necessarily all that preoccupied with the occult as popular culture would have you believe.
One would think humanity would have learned its lesson after the Tesseract.
Steve has way too much faith in humanity.
Still, Steve wasn’t here to investigate. SHIELD didn’t even know he was here, and if they did, Tony and Fury were running interference at his request. Nothing short of a life or death emergency would call Steve back to work.
He was kind of regretting that, right now.
You know you’re emotionally constipated when you’d rather fight off an alien invasion again than go over to someone’s house and say ‘hi’.
With a frown, he flicked his way through various files and folders, meticulously organized the way he liked it after weeks of work, until he came to civilian background checks.
It had been the only way to learn what had come of his friends – his friends, and the closest thing to family he’d ever had after his own parents died.
Since Bucky had been Steve’s next of kin, both their survivor’s benefits had gone to the Barnes family. The Barnes ladies, really, since Bucky’s own father had died in an accident on an army base years before the war even started. Mrs. Barnes had lived long enough to see all of Bucky’s sisters to adulthood, a nurse and a teacher and a secretary. Unfortunately, Anna died in a car crash, and the shock of losing her only son and youngest daughter seemed to have led to Mrs. Barnes dying of grief. Sarah and Rebecca both married, only for Sarah’s son to die in Vietnam.
In the movie, they state that Bucky was the oldest of four children. For the purposes of this story, I made the rest girls, and only one have a surviving descendent to this day (I thought briefly about giving Stiles a distant cousin or something, before remembering/realizing he was already pretty distant from Bucky). In the comics, Bucky had a single sister named Rebecca, so as the character with actual canon, I used her as Stiles’ grandmother. Sarah and Anna were entirely my own creations (and using basically the really common names of the time period, which is why I used Sarah even though that’s already Steve’s mom’s name – I actually have some ‘shared name’ jokes lined up and I’m currently trying to find a way to work them into the story at some point.)
War seemed to kill all the Barnes boys.
Oh, Steve, by the time I’m done with everyone, you’re going to WISH that war killed the Barnes boys.
It was just as well that Rebecca only had one daughter, Claudia, who escaped any kind of violent ending, only to die of some kind of dementia not too long ago.
How DID she die? We know that she attacked Stiles at some point and had delusions about him. Is Stiles believing he killed her (if the hallucinations from Season 2 are anything to go by) just misplaced guilt, or did he actually have a role in her death? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Stilinski fam, y u so mysterious? (…no, but seriously, how can we get so much screen time with them and know so little about them – like their first names?!)
Steve had missed Bucky’s niece by just a few years.
Hopefully her young boy – the one whose name Steve could not for the life of him pronounce – would escape the life of war and suffering that seemed to hang over the family like some kind of curse.
Bucky’s only family left – Steve’s only family left – was a teenage boy in Beacon Hills, Bucky’s grand-nephew. There wasn’t much about him. Diagnosed with some kind of attention disorder as a child, but he seemed to get good grades all the same. He had a ‘Facebook’, which didn’t tell Steve much other than the fact no one else could pronounce his name, either, if the nickname was anything to go by.
Still not sure what do for Stiles’ name. Do I go with the fandom keysmash, or do I take into account the initial we saw on his ID card in Season 5? ID cards, school ID cards, REALLY don’t work like that, so I’m just so damn tempted to ignore it. But there’s been so much interesting meta about what Stiles’ name could be…
He was about to start the tenth grade, his sophomore year. Steve barely remembered being fifteen, himself – it felt like so long ago. The kid’s Facebook was full of pictures and posts about him and a friend planning to spend the fall training up so they could make the school’s lacrosse team come winter try-outs. Seeing the picture of two teenagers slurping at smoothies while making faces at a camera – or, in all likelihood, camera-phone, because that was a thing in the twenty-first century…
It just made him miss Bucky, and made him realize how much he couldn’t back down from this, now.
Full disclosure, this story was originally going to be Sciles. Not very shippy, granted, because this fic isn’t very shippy in general – it’s team/pack fic and family feels, so friendship and family were always going to be the focus of the series, not romance, romantic relationships, or permanent peer partners of any kind. On top of that, I’m just not a romantic/shippy writer in general. Since there was so little romance at the time, I made it gen, except no one reads genfic. I started to get way too many hilarious ideas Steve seeing Stiles flail around Derek and Stiles’ having a ~thing~ for nice arms, leading to the Thor jokes, and that’s how this story became a Sterek fic.
THEN around the time I was debating going back to making this a gen fic, I ran into a lot of meta about how even if HYDRA never raped the Winter Soldier/had actual Trash Parties, what they DID do (as seen or directly implied in canon, or implied via comics canon) most closely mimics sexual abuse anyway, and suddenly I got another subplot in which Derek and Bucky bond over their share violation/abuse histories when they [REDACTED]. Whoops.
It’s still probably going to be Scott & Stiles centric (since Bucky and Steve are such a central relationship to the series, too), and the Sterek is probably going to be very QPR-ish, in that there probably won’t be much “romance” because romance bores the hell out of me. I like romance best when it’s like the best friendship ever with some sex and kissing thrown in at the end. So when I do romance, I do so via slow build. And as anyone who’s followed my Virtues, Chicken, and Destiny series in Merlin fandom knows, when I say slow build, I mean slow. (That thing’s been running for half a decade, now). But Derek is kind of like Natasha to Stiles’ Bucky (in the comics), if you want a better gist of how the relationship dynamics will pan out.
There was nothing in these files to help Steve, nor anything online. Nothing that could tell Steve how he should go up to the last hanging thread of Bucky’s family and introduce himself and…what? There was nothing Steve could give them, nothing to be gained, and would probably just open up some scarred-old wounds to boot.
But Steve couldn’t just forget about him, either.
With a frustrated grunt, Steve shut everything down and off, stuffing the tablet away as he quickly finished the last dregs of his drink and the few fries left. He paid in cash, telling the waitress to keep the change as a tip, and quickly left just as the first of the after-work crowd started pulling into the parking lot.
It took a while to get around town. Steve tried to tell himself he was just enjoying the view, but he knew he was lying to himself.
He was a damn coward.
Eventually, though, he made himself pull up to modest house in a nice part of town, parking his bike carefully and sitting on it for a moment as he glanced at the old but cared-for SUV sitting in the driveway.
I never understand why people seem to think the Sheriff just uses a department SUV for his own, personal travels. Those are WORK vehicles, he can’t use them when he’s off-duty. Not to mention that even after the Sheriff was fired, we see that he still has the SUV.
“C’mon, punk,” he muttered to himself. Finally, he unhooked the helmet – originally bought for state law compliance and surprisingly useful in hiding in plain sight. He locked it to the bike, shouldered his bag, and pushed himself up the little walkway to the front door, slowing as he heard the sounds of a movie playing inside.
This, believe it or not, marks one of the biggest differences between the Stucky and Sciles friendships. Both are equally loving, but Sciles is a lot less name-calling and affectionately insulting each other, and a lot more mutually uplifting support. I mean, there is still teasing among the younger boys and no end of support among Steve and Bucky, but they ultimately still have very different personalities. For all the parallels I’m drawing, Scott and Steve are very different from each other, as are Bucky and Stiles. Stiles is the sarcastic one, while Scott is very much NOT, so Stiles would feel bad if he did that too much. With Steve and Bucky, neither of them are nearly as sarcastic as Stiles, but at the same time they’re both a little snarkier than Scott.
Some part of him still had trouble getting over the fact most people in America had televisions, now, that movies weren’t just something you went out to see, but also entertainment to enjoy at home.
Televisions did exist and weren’t even all that uncommon during Steve’s day, but up until WWII, they were a little crude and mostly considered experimental technology, something the rich had as an expensive toy. They didn’t start becoming common in households until after WWII – as did household appliances and electronics in general.
Steve took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
“Stiles!” he heard a man shouting from inside.
“Got it!” a young boy’s voice answered.
The sounds of the movie suddenly stopped, and a moment later the door opened, revealing a lanky teenage boy in long shorts and a tee-shirt, with short brown hair and Rebecca’s eyes.
For a while, I debated ‘changing’ either Bucky or Stiles’ canon eye-color to give them the same color eyes. In the end, I opted for realism, as well as avoiding too many similarities. Parallels are good and all, but only so far as the supplement a story, not overtake it. Sometimes, characters have connections to other or unexpected sources, and no parallel is perfect – otherwise, they would be the same exact thing, and that’s hella boring.
“Yes?” the boy asked.
“Um…are you…” Steve swallowed. “Are you, uh, Stiles Stilinski?”
The boy’s eyes immediately narrowed, and even if he had Rebecca’s eyes, that was Bucky’s scrutiny staring Steve back in the face.
But there still needs to be SOME similarity. A healthy suspicion of the world at large is a Barnes family trait, which is probably why Claudia and the Sheriff got along so well. :P
God, barely a minute in and Steve felt like he was drowning in memory.
“Who wants to know?” the boy asked.
“Stiles?” the man’s voice from earlier called out. “Who is it?”
A moment later, a man in jeans and a loose shirt appeared behind the boy, expression equally wary. “Can we help you?” the man asked – the boy’s father, and Beacon Hills’ town Sheriff.
Steve swallowed, every single line and plan going out the window.
He’d been spending over a month mentally planning for and dreading this moment, and now that he was finally here, it was like he was shriveled and socially awkward all over again.
He never felt so tiny since he’d become so large.
I’m on the fence about a subplot. It doesn’t really add anything to the story, but I wanted to give Steve a sort of light body dysmorphia, him and Scott. While the details are different, they would both have issues of sort of missing their old/“real” body, even though their ‘new’ ones are so much better. It feel like it would clutter up the story, though.
Before he could try to come up with something, the boy’s eyes widened, and his mouth fell open in shock as recognition filled his eyes. His entire stance grew straighter, and he pointed dumbly at Steve’s face as he said, “You’re- no, no way, why-”
“My name is Steve Rogers,” Steve said finally. “I don’t know if you’ve heard about-”
“You’re Captain America!” the boy shouted in disbelief.
Stiles was absolutely a Captain America fanboy even before he met Steve.
Steve smiled and nodded sheepishly. He glanced at the sheriff, whose eyebrows were also going up as he looked Steve over, and then looked back at the boy.
It’s the Sheriff’s fault. :P
“Yeah, I…I am. The original one,” Steve added, focusing on the boy. “Your grand-uncle…Bucky Barnes was my best friend growing up, and his family practically adopted me when my own died. I…I always planned to come back to his family, even after he died. When I…woke up, a few months ago, I looked for his family. And that’s…well, you.”
Stiles’ mouth opened and closed as he gaped in shock.
The silence was so awkward, Steve was one step away from apologizing for taking their time and leaving, before Mr. Stilinski sighed and said, “Come on in, then.”
Mr. Stilinski had to nudge the boy’s shoulder to get him to step back, but after a moment he shook his head and moved, still gaping at Steve as he stepped into the household and, seeing a rack on the floor, toed off his shoes.
“I apologize for dropping in like this,” Steve said, trying to loosen his grip on his bag. “But I didn’t really know how else to do this.”
“Where’s your shield?” the boy blurted out.
Tony and SHIELD are scanning it and generally studying it when Steve isn’t using it, since now that Tony can make vibranium, they might be able to make more shields. Of course, it turns out largely to be pointless – very few people can even use Steve’s shield, since it requires a certain level of superhuman strength, and vibranium can be so much more useful in so many other forms, anyway, and it’s difficult to manufacture in the kind of bulk needed to make the shield, and if it’s really that vibration absorbent, it’s very difficult to forge or work with. Howard most likely made it as a kind of challenge to himself, not out of any expectation for it to be useful.
Mr. Stilinski’s expression abruptly shifted from wary to exasperated as scolded, “Stiles!”
Steve smiled softly at the sheepish look on Stiles’ face. The innocent curiosity of excited kids was a lot less grating than the probing of adults.
“Kind of hard to carry without drawing attention, so it’s at Stark Tower while I’m traveling.”
Stiles led Steve into the living room, gesturing towards the couch. On the table, there was a half-empty bottle of beer and a glass of what looked like lemonade, and a bowl of chips and a pillow on the floor. Stiles darted over the television to switch it off. Steve caught a glimpse of a rugged man in a fedora before the screen went black. It was a bit flat – though not as flat as a lot of TVs were that Steve had been seeing, so likely a little older – and it sat like a silent, black hole on top of a little cabinet in the corner.
I really wish this came up more in Captain America fanfics. Seriously, people underestimate just how weird having screens everywhere must be, especially flat screens, to someone like Steve. He would’ve mostly or only ever watched movies projected onto white/“silver” screens, could probably count on one hand how many times they’ve seen an actual TV or screen-like viewing mechanism in his life prior to the war. Well, depending on what class you assume Steve to be, and what kind of stores he walked past a lot for most of his life – especially during the Great Depression.
The boy stood up, then glanced awkwardly around himself and at Steve. He glanced over Steve’s shoulder at – presumably – the sheriff, and that seemed to help him a little.
“Um, do you want a drink or something?” he asked. “We have water – but, uh, everyone has water, I guess – and we have orange juice and pomegranate juice and some lemonade and Coke and I think we might have a Sprite or two but I would have to double check, and we can probably make, like, coffee and stuff-“
“The man can’t tell you what he wants if you don’t let him,” Mr. Stilinski chided.
“I’m fine,” Steve said, not bothering to hide his small smile. At least he wasn’t the only awkward one here. Stiles reminded Steve of Bucky, before he really got a grasp of the family’s signature charm. “I don’t want to cause too much trouble or anything.”
“Um, dude, pouring out drink isn’t exactly trouble,” Stiles said, looking at Steve like he was slightly dim.
Stiles you lil shit-
Rebecca used to do that all the time.
“Stiles…” Mr. Stilinski said warningly.
Steve chuckled. “True, but I try to be polite.” He swallowed. “Seems a little late for coffee or soda, I don’t know if you just have lemonade or orange juice or if you would have to pour it out of something, and I’ve never even had pomegranate juice, so…water is always the safest bet.”
Stiles smiled. “Pomegranate juice it is, since you’ve never tried it.”
-but he’ll be Steve’s lil shit. And Bucky and Steve were the ultimate little shits, anyway. :P
“Stiles!” Mr. Stilinski said, sounding so long-suffering Steve couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s fine, sir,” Steve said, turning to look over his shoulder at Mr. Stilinski. “I can’t knock something until I’ve tried it.”
“I’ll bring some water in case you don’t like it,” Stiles said, slipping around the couch and disappearing into the kitchen.
Then it was just the two adult men in the living room, the only sound coming from Stiles rummaging around in the kitchen.
After a moment, the boy’s father sighed and came around the couch, dropping into a sofa and picking up the beer.
The Pack Papa Stilinski vibes here were absolutely intentional. I’m basically using this moment to imply that the family tradition of adopting stray angsty young’uns in need of a hug is still going strong. The Barnes family took Steve in once before, and they’re doing so again – and in both cases, the ‘parent’ doing the bulk of the adopting is someone who married into the family, not the one born into it. :P
“I suppose you’ve probably heard this before,” he said. “But thank you. For New York.”
“No thanks needed, sir,” Steve said, trying not to wince as he slipped into his pre-prepared response. “Anyone else in my position would’ve done the same, and all of us there did our part.”
Dealing with press and publicity is probably one of the few elements of his job still familiar to him. At least when he knows he’s on record, anyway – the hardest part, methinks, is remembering and getting used to the idea that he might always be on record, thanks to smartphones and social media.
Mr. Stilinski smirked. “That the party line?”
Steve almost went into press mode again, but then remembered this man was…well, he wasn’t the press, that was for sure.
“Sort of,” Steve said. “I got one hell of a briefing on how modern media works, and…prepared lines seemed like the best option.” He shrugged. “I’m used to it. Did it for the Army, too.”
“I’ll bet,” he said, taking a sip of his beer. “Given how hard they come down on us for talking outside party lines today, I imagine it would’ve been even worse during the war.”
Most people don’t realize this, but there are actually a LOT of rules about how much serving military personnel can be politically active, especially in topic areas concerning security and foreign policy. The military exists to carry out the Commander in Chief’s will. Now, soldiers can absolutely say they voted for the other guy than whoever is currently in the Oval Office and such – but their job is support whoever is in office, because whoever is in the Oval Office now was put there by The People, who both the military and the President ultimately serve. They cannot advocate against military policy, their commander in chief, or otherwise undermine anything the military is doing (and generally speaking, political involvement even in non-military/foreign policy issues is frowned upon).
Steve blinked in surprise. “You served?”
I actually have SO MANY QUESTIONS about Sheriff Stilinski’s background in canon. Did he ever go to college? Or even community college? You don’t need a degree to be a cop, but it can help and a lot of them do, especially if they ever hoped to work as a detective of some kind. Was the Sheriff ever a detective before he became a beat cop/deputy? Was he also an officer in the Army, or enlisted? An NCO? How long was he in the army before he left for civilian law enforcement? Was he an MP (Military Police) in the Army, or was Beacon Hills his first law enforcement experience?
He nodded. “Not long – just a few years after college. Couldn’t find a job at the time, and Stiles’ mother still had to finish school, so I enlisted to tide me over.” He snorted. “And while a lot of people slip through the cracks, the Army is just as big on presenting a united front during peace time as they were during war. Luckily, they support a policy of soldiers not talking to the press at all if they can help it.”
I kind of headcanon that the Sheriff was actually still in the army when he married Claudia and they had Stiles, but Stiles was still so young when the Sheriff left the army for civilian life that he doesn’t really remember or think of his father as being in the army.
“Wish I had that,” Steve said softly. “Would’ve saved me a lot of trouble.”
Stiles came back in carrying two cups, one of a pinkish-red drink and the other of clear water with ice in it. He handed Steve the juice while setting down the water on the coffee table.
Steve took a sip of the pomegranate juice as Stiles dropped onto the other end of the couch, and hummed in appreciation. “Not bad,” he said, taking another sip to prove his point. And it wasn’t. Steve wasn’t sure if he actively liked it, yet, but he didn’t dislike it, either. More importantly, though, it was nothing he’d ever had to drink before the war and didn’t bring up memories of what it wasn’t or how it was supposed to taste.
Steve’s biggest problem with food wouldn’t be stuff that’s new and completely unrelated to food he grew up with – he’d approach new food in this day the same way he’d approach new food in his own time. No, his biggest problem would probably be food that’s similar to what he grew up with, since that would keep bringing up reminders or taste different from what he knows.
That was a pretty big point in its favor.
No, but seriously, you’d be surprised what foods this entails. Case in point: bananas. The kind of banana Americans eat today is called a Cavendish banana, but we only started importing those after the kind of bananas Steve would’ve grown up with, Gros michel bananas, were wiped out by Panama disease. At least in the Americas – they’re still around in Asia. BANANA ANGST. BANANA ANGST IS A THING IN THIS FANDOM. On a completely unrelated note, Sebastian Stan – the actor for Bucky Barnes – is actually Romanian in origin. His family had to move out of Romania when he was 8 years old, and apparently seeing bananas for the first time at that age was a bit of ‘an event’ for him.
This is actually something I’m familiar with – I grew up with at least half my high school being made up of first-generation or second-generation Americans, and a lot of kids mention similar things. (A friend of mine mentioned that he’d literally never seen a non-white person in his life until he was in an airport after his family had to flee Russia – he’d glimpsed them on TV and such, but never in person or seen one with his own eyes).
Stiles grinned. “It’s healthy, too!”
“Thank you,” Steve said, and took another sip because there wasn’t much else to do, now.
He wasn’t even sure what he came here for, let alone what he could or would ask of them.
Thankfully, though, Stiles was willing to fill the silence, saying, “So what do you do when you’re not fighting aliens?”
Mr. Stilinski looked up at the ceiling like he was praying for strength.
This is a very common look for him.
“Not much,” Steve said, trying not to laugh at the expression on Mr. Stilinski’s face. “They…they found me in the ice less than half a year ago. I spent the first few months recovering, trying to catch up on all the history I’ve missed and…training, honestly. Wasn’t sure what else to do. Then the Battle of New York happened, and since then I’ve just been traveling around the country…seeing things.”
I was actually really conflicted about the first line in this paragraph, because someone did a breakdown and found out that on-screen, Steve’s only smiled once since waking up in the 21st century – when he’s telling Tony they won after closing Loki’s portal. That’s the one time he smiles in the Avengers, and he never smiles at all in Captain America 2. But, since even people who actually have depression can still laugh and smile, I figured it’s not like Steve can’t feel some happiness, too. An unfortunate reality of depression is that sometimes “happy thoughts” or “happy moments” are not really enough to mitigate it, and that even if you don’t have depression, grief can easily still dominate your life even with love and happiness in your life. Steve is much closer to the rest of the Avengers in this series than in the movies, and has a lot more smiling and laughter in his life. But he still lost just about everyone he knew, and his own life – he has a lot to grieve, something that he may not even let himself have time for.
“Anything cool?” Stiles asked, leaning forward excitedly.
“Well, I got to see the Grand Canyon-”
“I did a report on it once!” the boy said eagerly. “For geography in fifth grade.”
“Don’t interrupt him, Stiles,” Mr. Stilinski said. He sounded like he didn’t expect the admonishment to stick at all.
The Sheriff thinks Stiles is a lost cause, but he still has try. Pay attention to canon, though, and Stiles is actually not nearly as much of a motor mouth as fandom makes him out to be. This is a carefully constructed misdirection on Stiles’ part, in fact. Stiles snarks back at people a lot, but he doesn’t initiate conversation nearly as much as people seem to think. He won’t start a conversation, but he’ll absolutely keep it going until he gets what he needs.
The boy pouted anyway, contrite. “Sorry.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind,” Steve said. “It reminds me of your grandmother.”
“Really,” Steve said with a fond nod. “She always had something to say and was excited to say it. Bucky was always trying to get her to calm down…it never worked, though.”
I’m imagining that Stiles’ grandmother had ADHD. I might have Bucky show tinges of it, too, if I can work it in, between all the other crap he’s going to have to deal with. But, I’m actually not sure if Stiles has ADHD, and I headcanon that he doesn’t. We know at one point he takes Adderall, but we never find out if it’s his own prescription or just Adderall he bought from someone at school, and he doesn’t really show signs of ADHD. He may just be one of those kids that buys Adderall to help concentrate on important tests and projects, but Stiles’ priority just isn’t school so he uses it for other things, too.
Stiles grinned again, sheepish and shy but a little smug, too. “Cool.”
“Grand Canyon?” Mr. Stilinski offered, a bemused smile on his face as he apparently tried to help Steve.
Steve hesitantly launched into the story of how he and Bucky had always planned to go see the Grand Canyon when they were kids, and how Steve had gone now in his memory. He’d camped and hiked there a bit, sketched a fair amount and even started to get back into colored pencils while there.
When this fic was still in its earliest Sciles stages, I planned for it to end with Sciles and Stucky going on a hike in the Grand Canyon together (reminiscent of Steve’s Grand Canyon hike in the comics). I still might do that, actually. Even if Scott and Stiles aren’t romantically together, I still have a tendency to write them kind of QPR-ish/Heterosexual Life Partners (for a given value of heterosexual, anyway). I’m actually not even sure if I’ll make Stucky truly romantic/sexual Stucky, or full-blown QPR (which, let’s be real, is basically what they are in canon). Can you tell I’m aromantic? :P
That somehow devolved into talking about Steve’s drawing skills in general, his brief career in comics he’d just been starting before the war hit, how he’d done posters and pamphlets before Project Rebirth. It careened into a lot of talk about comic books in general, Stiles even running upstairs to grab some of his own to show Steve what they were like today, explaining digital art and how it was sometimes mixed with traditional art via scans and mixed-media.
I took 616 canon and made Steve a comic-book illustrator before the war. I originally had a subplot (which I might write anyway as a deleted scene) in which Steve is still drawing comics about his experiences, and Stiles puts them online, claiming to the Internet that he’s putting them there for his grand-uncle, a WWII veteran, and just never mentioning that it’s Steve. It…gets leaked, anyway, which caused too much chaos in the story so I ended up cutting it out, but then Stiles just posting Steve’s artwork online was largely pointless as a subplot, so the whole damn thing got cut out.
Before Steve knew it, it was dark out. Mr. Stilinski stood, twisting to crack his back slightly and disappearing into the kitchen with his empty bottle. He came back out a few moments later holding up a stack of worn-and weathered pamphlets and flyers.
“It’s almost dinner,” Mr. Stilinski said. “And you are absolutely welcome to join us, I mean it – but I also warn you that we’re going to have to order in. Been kind of a busy week, so we’re a little behind on the grocery shopping.”
Steve smiled a little wanly. “Sounds good to me, Mr. Stilinski.”
“Please, call me John. Or Sheriff, everyone does.”
Okay, while I’m here – if you look through the tags on that post I linked above, one of the number one responses is people saying they thought his name was John. It’s not, not in canon. Thus far, canon has not given us the Sheriff’s first name, or Stiles’ legal first name. ‘John’ most likely started as an actor shout-out to Linden Ashby’s other prominent role, Johnny Cage. (If you have not seen Mortal Kombat, I highly recommend you do and cackle about cheesy!BAMF!Sheriff all the way. I’m working on a Mortal Kombat/Teen Wolf crossover, actually, but that’ll be a long while in coming.) Anyway, that was probably how it started, and then it kept perpetuating because John is like the most normal, down-to-earth name a guy can have, which contrasts with not only Stiles’ name, but Teen Wolf in general. However, it is still technically fanon, just a widely-accepted one.
“Right, uh, then it sounds good to me, Sheriff,” Steve said. The man smiled approvingly as he dropped the pamphlets on the coffee table, spreading them out. Steve shook his head as he read the names and taglines of the various restaurants. “I still can’t believe this.”
“Believe what?”
He kept his eyes on the rather daunting pile of pamphlets and fliers. God, how did people manage to hold onto so many, so easily?
What if they wanted him to choose?
“When I was a kid, half this stuff was exotic and the other half was unimaginable,” Steve said. “You would’ve had to go to Chinatown for Chinese food, or a really expensive restaurant. And things like Thai or Vietnamese…I never even knew they existed. And now they’re ordinary stuff.”
Thank you, immigration! Because imagine how boring contemporary American diets would be without it. No, seriously. *shudders*
Stiles looked hesitantly at his father, and Steve winced. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to unload-”
“It’s cool,” Stiles said immediately. “Do you want…” He bit his lip. “Do you want something you’re used to, or something new?”
Thoughtful baby is thoughtful.
Steve blinked at him in surprise.
“…Captain?” Stiles asked.
“Call me Steve,” he responded. “And…you know, you’re the first person to actually ask me that?”
Both Stilinskis’ eyebrows rose in united incredulity. “Really?” the Sheriff asked.
Steve nodded. “Some people just assume I should be trying new things all the time, no matter what. Most just assume I want to stick to stuff I know.”
“Do you usually want something new or something old?” Stiles asked curiously, forgetting the menus spread out in front of him.
“Depends on my mood, I guess, but…it hasn’t really mattered in a while.” He looked down at all the menus. “I’m…somewhat familiar with Chinese food, but not very. I’m honestly not very sure where to start.”
Chinese people have been in America a long longer than most people realize. That said, most of the Asian-Americans Steve would’ve known in Roaring and Great Depression New York probably would’ve been Filipino.
Stiles dug right through all the menus, brandishing three of them and then discarding one. When Steve was still unsure, he handed them both to his father, who glanced at them and handed just one back, muttering about that ginger chicken thing.
Probably Sesame Ginger Chicken, since a stir-fry would not meet Stiles’ exacting health standards.
Steve fought down the strong urge to sigh in relief as Stiles handed him the lone menu pamphlet. At least he wouldn’t have to choose a restaurant to order from, and Stiles even started talking about the various options this particular place had, advising Steve to stay away from anything with the beef and that the seafood was usually hit or miss and that most of their noodles were delicious. Steve eventually settled on some chicken and noodle dish. It would probably be nothing like any chicken noodles Steve would’ve ever had, but it was close enough to familiarity that he could breathe easy as he dived into the unknown.
Mr. Stilinski went into the kitchen to call them place the order, and Stiles started stacking up the menus again, shuffling and moving them into some system comprehensible only to himself.
He organizes them by how long it takes for the food to get to his home from the moment he hangs up the phone after the order. Part length of time to make the food, part distances from the restaurant. In situations where they are approximately similar, Stiles then organizes by how healthy the food tends to be, in the hopes that his dad will get lazy and pick the first menu he runs into when Stiles isn’t there. It doesn’t work, because if Stiles isn’t home, the Sheriff just orders greasy pizza/fast food, anyway.
“So,” Stiles said, jerking his head towards the TV as he finished gathering up all the papers. “Wanna watch a movie?”
Because it’s so difficult to get Scott to watch Star Wars, Stiles compensates by getting everyone else to watch it, instead. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9778104424476624}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '87513', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:P2ZFBWCZJHLHSOPAHWHZCMEQV5YBOJLG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ca964df2-beb9-4af0-a1c2-b00b70f65b21>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 18, 6, 34, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.153.64.122', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:P754HGZAZ7NKUSWWGRE6UHX74YQ3INGQ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:bdb4afd1-52be-403d-ac39-d05b8d36d1a3>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://archiveofourown.org/works/6155278/chapters/14103367', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f3dccbc9-e991-4a3f-a475-ded8f6a5fd0b>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '6802', 'url': 'http://archiveofourown.org/works/6155278/chapters/14103367', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-136-183-252.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': '0.020501375198364258', 'original_id': '7ce0cd945940d296d11ac882f0e0895c314cd0d3757abaa638e8588ad172b890'} |
Legislation affecting the industry
Organiser: Manchester Best Practice Club
Location: CUBE, Manchester, M1 6DW
The Manchester Best Practice Club event aims to cover the topic of legislation affecting the construction industry.
With over 2,700 new employment regulations introduced since 1997 and at least 3 versions of regulations concerned with discipline introduced and then changed or withdrawn; how does the employer uphold discipline without making themselves liable for a claim?
Speaker: Alex Boyd, human resources practitioner, Adams Alexander Associates
Boyd specialises in the field of employment disputes; especially those involving small or medium sized companies where perhaps there is no HR function and where managers can be left exposed to potential claims. Most disputes can be resolved fairly quickly, easily and without the need for expensive legal intrusion.
A professional with over 35 years' experience as manager, senior manager and director level, he has clients in the construction industry that range from companies with five employees to those with over 500.
He states that: "the one size fits all when it comes to employment law does have its problems, but by and large the situation works providing your managers (who in the main, are employees also) have the right knowledge and tools by which to protect themselves and the company."
– How does an employer deal fairly with a disgruntled employer who lodges a grievance?
– Why do employers feel that ACAS is on the side of employees?
– Why has the Government made the employer responsible for those people he hires in from an Agency, surely the Agency will be responsible?
Refreshments will be available during registration.

Pomegranate Glaze Recipe
I have just started listening to the podcasts from Bob Appetit. They are really well done and enjoyable. I listen to them at the gym and they are so engaging that they actually take my mind off the tedium of the rowing machine!
One of the first podcasts I listened to was one on New Pantry Essentials. The guests mentioned many of my favorites, including Maldon salt, Asian chili sauces, and of course pomegranate molasses. I have been singing the praises of pomegranate molasses forever it seems. But I realized I've shared just three recipes that use it, a kebab recipe, a barbecue sauce and a nutty red pepper dip called Muhammara.
Pomegranate molasses (or syrup) has a rich depth to it. It's very concentrated and has both sweet and sour notes. It really is great with meat but also if you want to boost "meaty" flavors in a non-meat meal such as lentils, beans, mushrooms or tofu. The easiest way to use it is in a marinade. It has so much going on that you can make a very simple marinade or use it as the base for something even more complex. A little goes a long way.
I like two basic pomegranate marinades. This first one is for when I really want the pomegranate flavor to shine, the other is when I want it to be more in the background. The second recipe is fantastic on salmon! The maple brings out the woodsy flavors if you cook it on a cedar plank.
Pomegranate Marinade/Glaze
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup
Mix ingredients together use to marinate or glaze salmon, pork, etc. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9487294554710388}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '64502', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GMQEJZUJEWHIFY65AB26IMAU2KGYVZEE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:e5059704-8858-4510-863d-20e14c7a326e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 6, 47, 21), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.193', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:O7WIK54XHPZRHE666K344EZRSVMWEIKN', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2a59123c-fa46-4e37-b0fc-b061d981b3d2>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://cookingwithamy.blogspot.com/2006/09/pomegranate-marinades-recipe.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:8ee5a58a-b1e2-47f0-8cc2-57cffc8dc6c2>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '287', 'url': 'http://cookingwithamy.blogspot.com/2006/09/pomegranate-marinades-recipe.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-95-180-234.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025484085083007812', 'original_id': 'ef9b2dd7221270bf02111b114ce65e1b9c7a980f0ab5c52ed8a31a105a3257ed'} |

Three Simple Steps To Build Muscle Mass
Exercise Bodybuilding Weight change
Written by:
Shawn LeBrun
There are 3 simple, proven steps you need to follow in order to build muscle mass. This article will reveal all three in just a moment.
But first, let me ask, are you sick and tired of training every day, with little or no results to show for it? Are you sick and tired of looking in the mirror and seeing that same skinny person staring back at you day after day? Are you simply fed up with being skinny?
Well, this is the first step you have to take in your way of achieving a muscular body. You have to realize that a change needs to occur and that you're not where you want to be.
Then, when you've realized that you really want to build muscle mass, all you have to do is get to work.
Easier said than done. Soon, if you're a hard gainer, you'll be asking yourself why isn't there any increase in your muscle mass.
You may be asking yourself, why your past efforts seemed to have failed. You may be even asking yourself if all of your hard work was even worth it and if it's even possible for you to build muscle mass.
If you want to build muscle, you're going to have to understand the process. In order to build muscle mass, you'll need to:
Step 1
Organize a training plan that is conducive to building muscle.
You'll need to organize a training program that focuses on building mass, strength, and muscle. The program needs to be structured in a way that optimizes your body's natural strength.
You'll need to use certain equipment that uses variable resistance that's needed to stress or stimulate the muscle into growth.
You can use free weights like barbells and dumbbells, machines that incorporate pulley's and cables such as the universal or home gym, or body weight exercises like chin ups or push ups.
Through the use of compound movements such as the bench press, shoulder press, barbell bent over rows, squats, and dead lifts, you incorporate supporting muscles as well as the targeted muscle, which equals more strength.
All things being equal, this will mean more muscle growth.
Once you start using compound movements in your weight training program, you'll start to use something called progressive resistance.
When you increase the amount of weight you lift on a continuing basis, your muscle fibers adapt to these greater demands by gaining strength and size. This is how you build muscle mass.
Step 2
Organize a consistent meal schedule that will coincide with your current lifestyle.
The meal schedule must contain the necessary calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat to sustain a healthy increase in lean body weight.
If you're wondering how to build muscle mass, this is the solution. To gain muscle, you need to eat. On a consistent basis - more calories on a daily basis than your body burns.
You need a consistent diet that is conducive to building muscle. If you simply change your eating habits around a little, you'll start to grow and that you'll start to see the results immediately.
Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. As long as you remember a few key points, you'll do fine.
There you have the most basic, proven formula for building muscle mass: hard and heavy training followed by rest and consuming quality calories in the form of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Protein, carbohydrates, and fat need to be structured in a balanced combination to support optimal muscle growth while maintaining overall good health. Once you have your diet down to a science, you'll gain muscle mass.
Step 3
Rest !!
Rest is one of the main factors for building muscle mass. Simply put, you have to rest in order to allow your body the time it needs to grow.
You need to give your body the time it needs to recuperate from the physical demands of your workouts. By putting constant stress on your body with no rest, you will stop your growth cold.
It is very important that you get the proper amount of rest in order to allow your body to grow. The amount of rest necessary will depend on your age, genetics, and current state of health.
If you're a beginner, you generally need anywhere from two to three days rest. Depending on your intensity levels, you may need more. If you are training at high intensity, you may need three to four days rest.
If you feel any soreness in your body on your training day, your body is telling you to take another day off. You shouldn't feel any soreness whatsoever on your training days.
You should feel strong, rested and energized each and every workout. If you feel tired, sore and drained of energy, you are either overtraining, under nourished, or under rested. Take the necessary time off, to fully recuperate from your workouts and come back ready to attack the weight.
Building muscle mass is going to take a lot of hard work and consistency, but if you follow this information closely, you'll gain the muscle mass you want.

Disruptor Alert: These 4 Companies Are Changing Video Games
MarketsMotley Fool
The video game industry is constantly evolving. PC and console games are becoming more graphically advanced, digital distribution platforms are displacing brick-and-mortar players, and the number of mobile games is surging.
But there are also disruptive forces within this industry that are changing how games are played. Let's examine four of those disruptors -- Nintendo (NASDAQOTH: NTDOY), Sony (NYSE: SNE), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Tencent (NASDAQOTH: TCEHY).
Continue Reading Below
The wild card: Nintendo
Many investors left Nintendo for dead after the Wii U failed to match the sales of its predecessor, the Wii, or catch up to Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PS4. But Nintendo pulled a rabbit out of the hat earlier this year with the Switch, a hybrid console that doubles as a portable device and a home console.
The Switch wasn't as powerful as the Xbox One or PS4, but its flexible form factor and desirable first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 made it the fastest-selling console this year.
Nintendo reported that it sold 4.7 million units in late July, which outpaced both the initial launches of the 3DS and Wii U during their first four months on the market. NPD also recently reported that it outsold the PS4 in July.
If the Switch's popularity continues rising, we could see other companies launch similar hybrid devices, which would likely prioritize modular designs over raw horsepower.
The VR pioneer: Sony
Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Oculus Rift and HTC's Vive are reportedly struggling due to their high price tags and the requirement that users have high-end PCs. But Sony's PlayStation VR is faring well, with sales of over a million units since its launch last October.
That figure might seem low relative to the 61 million PS4s it sold across the world so far, but it actually represents a solid foothold. Back in February, SuperData estimated that Facebook and HTC had respectively sold just 240,000 and 420,000 headsets.
The success of the PSVR is easy to comprehend. It has the lowest price tag ($399 with the camera included) of a high-end headset and requires the least expensive hardware -- a new PS4 currently costs around $300, while the PS4 Pro costs $400. As a result, many game publishers are now adding PSVR-exclusive features to their games -- which could finally push VR gaming into the mainstream market.
The AR innovator: Microsoft
Microsoft hasn't launched a VR headset for the Xbox One, but it's been investing heavily in the AR market with HoloLens. The HoloLens projects digital objects onto real-world ones by sensing depth, edges, and surfaces. As a result, gamers can play Minecraft on coffee tables or shoot virtual enemies in their living rooms.
Microsoft hasn't commercially launched the HoloLens yet, but developers have already unveiled AR demos of Portal and Pokemon Go with impressive results. Other native games, like the detective thriller Fragments and shooters RoboRaid and Vivo, also demonstrate the possibilities of playing holographic games in real-world environments.
The social gamer: Tencent
Chinese tech giant Tencent is the largest video game publisher in the world. It owns the e-sports favorite League of Legends, and its portfolio of mobile games include massively popular games like Clash of Clans and Honor of Kings. Tencent also owns WeChat, the largest mobile messaging app in China with nearly a billion monthly active users.
Tencent united those two ecosystems via "social gaming" in WeChat. Players log in to its latest mobile games with WeChat or QQ, Tencent's older PC-based messaging platform. Their rankings are then automatically displayed to their WeChat and QQ friends, which encourages competition and promotes the game to new players.
We've seen Facebook try this before with single sign-ins for mobile games and mini-games in Messenger, but the world's biggest social network still doesn't own a vast portfolio of games like Tencent.
The key takeaways
Some casual gamers might assume that "gaming" merely consists of using a controller or swiping a smartphone screen. Yet new form factors like the Switch are blurring the lines between console and portable games, VR and AR headsets could change how we interact with games, and social gaming platforms could keep games relevant longer while expanding a gamer's social network. These trends should all make the video game industry a fascinating one to watch over the next few years.

I’m a lot younger than this man and I can’t do most of these moves like he can. He’s killing it! I feel so inspired after watching this. I want to get up and dance! SHARE to make someone smile today.

Review – Ender’s Game
enders game movie
You can imagine my constrained excitement and hesitation. I was about to watch a movie adaptation of the book that not only got me into science fiction novels, but reading altogether.
As an adolescent I was much more interested in playing my mate’s Commodore 128 (that’s an early version of a personal computer/games machine for you young folk) or perhaps trying to do an Ollie on the trusty skateboard. Reading books just wasn’t something that appealed to me. Until I came across Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Here was a book that was simply written yet had great character complexities and just got straight into the story without any fussing about. I guess Orson Scott Card just gets to the point and is not one to ramble on with useless information (possibly unlike what with this review is becoming).
So did I enjoy the movie? I would say yes, yes I did, and I don’t want to say what follows next because there is no comparison, so how did it rate as a movie?
Firstly I have to say I wasn’t a fan of the soundtrack. I know they are just trying to create an atmosphere but when it’s blasted at your ear drums in typical cinema style and sounds like so many B grade Hollywood movie soundtracks, sometimes a more minimalist approach would be refreshing.
Harrison Ford puts in a solid performance as Colonel Graff. He is an older, grumpy, hardened military type character (possibly playing himself), trying to find a young genius to train and or manipliate in order to save us from an invading alien race.
Ender's Game (2013) trailer HARRISON FORD (Screengrab)
Graff finds Ender Wiggin, a young boy that comes from a family of previous candidates for the position of saving us from the ‘buggers’ (the insectoid type aliens). His older brother Peter turned out to have a sadistic aggressive side and his sister Valentine was deemed too compassionate. With the hope of Ender being the wanted medium of these personalities, the continuous monitoring of Ender’s day to day life and combination of real life tests are orchestrated for him and provide us with interesting thought provoking insights to human behaviour. He seems to please Graff’s ideal of the perfect military leader, and Ender is rushed to battle school where the majority of the story is placed.
I found the relationship between Ender and Graff interesting. The way the young boy handles certain situations can be inspiring and the movie does capture some of these moments. The battle school has a zero gravity area where the young candidates engage in team war games and this is re-created well in the movie. The games in the battle arena become the young candidates lives with battles taken part everyday. Ender makes his way through the ranks and is put under astonishing pressure with increasing odds placed against him. The way he handles the pressure along with his way of adapting and creating new ways to win battles are where the book shines and allot of this is missing from the movie.
Scenes with open-ended possibilities are included in the movie, which allows the opportunity for movie adaptations of the the continuing novels ‘Speaker for the Dead‘, ‘Xenocide‘ , ‘Children of the Mind‘ and lastly ‘Ender in Exile‘. In my opinion, the sequels improve upon the original novel and I would recommend them highly.
In fact, Orson Scott Card has remained a personally inspirational science fiction writer and I have gained quite the collection of his stories over the years. I actually rate some of his other novels as better reads than the “Nebula and Hugo Award Winning” Ender’s Game.
As with other great science fiction writers such as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke and Frank Herbert, items or ideas portrayed in their stories that are science fiction at the time actually become real or science fact. For instance, in the movie, Ender is seen using a tablet device to play an interactive game that closely resembles an iPad. Also, the term email is actually mentioned in the movie but I cannot recall the term used in the book or that the technology existed in the late seventies when the story was first written.
enders game novel
So in conclusion the movie would rate a two-and-a-half stars on the Dave’s scale out of five. I would recommend the movie as a nice light entertainment on DVD at home on a Saturday night and not something that is a “Must-Watch-Now-Or-Be-Damned-Forever”.
I would however, highly recommend any Orson Scott Card’s novels, as you might expect.

Guy-Approved Romantic Meals
1 of 6
Valentine's Day Recipes
Men love food only slightly less than men love women, so if you combine the two—your natural womanliness with a meal prepared especially for us—then you've just turned a man into a lapdog. Why is this? Psychologists might tell you it has something to do with feel-good hormones like dopamine or latent memories of nurturing mothers, but those are only halt-truths. The real reason men are more likely to fall in love over food is far more simple: An eating man is a sitting man, and a sitting man is an easy target for cupid's arrow.
Okay, there's probably not a psychologist on the planet who will back that claim, but anecdotally, we know that relationships tend to develop over good meals. So with that in mind, we reached out to five guys to see what dishes they'd love to have prepared for them. Stick to the recipes here, and you're guaranteed to have an arrow-struck lover at the dinner table.

Michael Steger
Actor, 90210
Ideal Meal: Homemade Pizza
If your guy has a favorite food, then you have a roadmap to his heart. For Michael, as with many men, that favorite food is pizza. "Pizza takes me back to when I was a kid," he says. Making it from scratch—as per the recipe below—is an excellent way to show you care, but if you're uneasy about the crust—or you're crunched for time—then feel free to sub in a pre-made crust. (Boboli makes a good one.)
1 package instant yeast
1 cup hot water
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar or honey
½ tbsp olive oil
2 ½ cups flour, plus more for kneading and rolling
1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes, drained
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Cherry tomatoes
1. Crust: Combine yeast with the water, salt, and sugar or honey. Allow to sit for 10 minutes while the hot water activates the yeast. Stir in olive oil and flour, using a wooden spoon. When the dough is no longer sticky, place on a cutting board, cover with more flour, and knead for 5 minutes. Return to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise at room temperature for at least 90 minutes. (Keeps covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.)
2. Sauce: Place the sauce ingredients in a blender and purée for a few seconds, until the tomatoes have broken down but still retain some chunky texture.
4. If you're using dough, divide it into two equal pieces. On a well-floured surface, use the rolling pin to work it into two thin circles, about 12 inches in diameter.
5. If you're using a pizza stone, place a circle of dough on a pizza peel or large cutting board, cover with a light layer of pizza sauce, then top with half the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Slide directly onto the pizza stone and bake for about 8 minutes, until the edge of the dough is lightly browned. If you don't have a pizza stone, cook the pizzas on a baking sheet instead.
6. Remove the pizza to a cutting board and immediately top with half the arugula (which will wilt lightly from the heat), half the prosciutto, and a good measure of shaved or grated Parmesan. (If you have a large block of Parmesan, simply use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices of cheese over the top.) Cut the pizza into six or eight slices. Repeat process with other half of dough.

Mark Deklin
Actor, new ABC series, GCB
Ideal Meal: Fresh Sea Scallops
Mark admits that he doesn't consider Valentine's Day an occasion for pampering, but like most guys, he's not one to turn down a great meal. For him, sea scallops suit the occasion, and he might be on to something: The protein-heavy mollusks marry fresh flavor with buttery richness, they pair perfectly with white wine, and if you follow the recipe here, you'll have dinner on the table in under 20 minutes. That should free you up for more important activities.
1 lb large sea scallops
2 strips bacon, chopped into small pieces
½ red onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ cans (14 oz each) white beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups baby spinach
1 tbsp butter
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook the bacon until it begins to crisp. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the white beans and spinach and simmer until the beans are hot and the spinach is wilted. Keep warm.
2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Blot the scallops dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the butter and the scallops to the pan and sear the scallops for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until deeply caramelized.
3. Before serving, add the lemon juice to the beans and season with salt and pepper.

Ideal Meal: Sushi
You might make the best chicken cacciatore east of the Mediterranean, but if your guy happens to work with delicious food every day—as is the case with Marcus—then he'll appreciate something simple and sensual. "Valentine's day is when the knives and forks go out the window," he says. "I want something raw that we can hand feed each other."
Sure you can order out for sushi, but Valentine's Day is nothing if not a day to experiment (wink, wink). So try it yourself; making sushi is easier than you think. The seaweed wrapper (nori) can be found at high-end grocery stores, and for fish, visit a good supermarket or fishmonger and ask for sushi-grade fish. The only special equipment you need is a simple, $3 sushi mat. Once you have that, follow these steps:

Dayo Okeniyi
Actor, the Hunger Games (2012)
Ideal Meal: Spaghetti and meatballs
Dayo claims he isn't picky about food, so for a guy like that, you can do no better than a thoughtful rendition of a classic dish. "Spaghetti and meatballs is just romantic," he says. "We'd share it from the same plate, of course." Plus, as Dayo notes, spaghetti will be forever remembered as the dish that united a lady and her tramp.
12 oz dry spaghetti
2 onions, chopped
¼ cup parsley, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp Italian seasoning
½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground turkey
2 tbsp oil
¼ tsp salt
2 cans tomato sauce (28 oz each)
1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1. To make the meatballs, sauté onions, parsley, and garlic in a couple teaspoons of oil. Cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the onions are soft. Remove ¼ cup of the onion mixture to a large bowl and set the remainder aside.
2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and ¼ cup of the onion mix you just made. Use your hands to stir in beef and turkey, and then form into 2-inch balls.
3. Warm a tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven or stock pot. Add the meatballs and cook, turning often, until browned on the outside (about 5 minutes).
4. To the pot, add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), sugar, Italian seasoning, and the remainder of the sautéed onion mix. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
5. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Place in a serving bowl and spoon the sauce and meatballs overtop.

Matt Bean
Women's Health Guy Next Door
Ideal Meal: Meringue
Many guys will insist on commandeering the kitchen, so go ahead and let them. While he's trying to impress you with a fantastic dinner, you'll be creating a dessert that will blow him away. "The exchange makes the meal," says Matt. "I want to throw a steak down on the griddle and finish the pan with a cabernet sauvignon deglaze, and then I want to dissolve into her pillowy soft meringue."
8 sheets phyllo dough (13" by 9" each), thawed according to package directions
1 ½ cups water
6 tbsp cornstarch
1 ¼ cups sugar, divided
½ cup lemon juice
4 egg yolks
2 tsp grated lemon peel
6 egg whites, rested until room temperature
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9" pie plate.
2. Drape 1 sheet of the phyllo dough across the plate. Press into the plate and fold the overhanging edges toward the center, crumpling them slightly to fit. Coat with cooking spray. Repeat layering and spraying with the remaining sheets of phyllo. Bake for 20 minutes or until the shell is golden brown. Cool on a rack.
3. In a medium saucepan, whisk the water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in 1 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue whisking until clear and thick.
4. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the egg yolks. Return to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Whisk in the lemon peel. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
5. Place the egg whites in a large bowl. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract and beat until soft peaks form. Beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form.
6. Spoon the cooled lemon filling into the cooled crust. Spread the meringue over the pie to cover the filling and touch the crust. Make peaks in the meringue with a spoon.
7. Bake for 6 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool on a rack for at least 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

The evolving relationship between science and faith
Published: Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 11:28 AM.
You may have missed it, but just a few weeks ago, one of the highest-profile events in the history of the creation-evolution controversy took place when Bill Nye of Disney’s famed “Bill Nye the Science Guy” TV program debated Ken Ham, CEO of the Answers in Genesis Christian ministry.
Live from the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., with more than 3 million people watching on television and online, the two men tussled over evolution, science, and whether creation represents a “viable model of origins.” I cheered for both sides, at least to some extent.
As a highly religious man of faith, I find enormous comfort in a Creator God who understands and loves us all. As a scientist who regularly teaches human evolution, I understand the scientific evidence well and find it both compelling and stimulating.
It surprises strong adherents on both sides of the debate to meet people like me. A recent Gallup survey, however, found over a third of Americans accept both human evolution and a Creator. Thus, folks like myself are exceptionally common, even though we make less noise.
But in the perceived battle between science and religion, too many display greater interest in protecting turf than in establishing and maintaining a respectful dialogue.
Both sides should know the other side is not going away. Three decades of surveys show essentially unchanged percentages of evolutionists and creationists, despite the steady buildup of scientific evidence for evolution, and despite evolving religious views.

Flash back to the early ’70s: American auto manufacturers are still building bigger muscle cars and the new burgeoning guitar effects industry is churning out increasingly creative and capable studio effects in smaller, stage-ready, battery-operated packages. Companies like MXR and Electro-Harmonix are forging future legends with their fast-expanding ranges of portable effects devices.
Then jump ahead a few more years. Gas prices are high, the economy is sputtering, and effects manufacturers—like their Detroit brethren—are feeling the pressure to downsize to compete with cheaper imports. The automotive and effects industries each responded to those challenges with varying degrees of success. But just as the Mustang II never quite captured the glamour or speed of say, a Mach 1, you can argue something went missing with the sound of those newer effects.
In 2012, there’s no shortage of reissues and custom boutique manufacturers reviving the glory days. But while a lot of folks claim to nail vintage sounds—the reality is that they’re often equal parts econobox and Hemi ’Cuda. Mojo Hand is among the newer builders successfully using modern technology to channel the feel, spirit, and sound of older circuits. And their Nebula IV phase pedal, like a lot of the new generation of American muscle cars, does a very cool job of melding vintage inspiration and modern construction.
Parts Talk
The Nebula IV clearly derives a lot of inspiration from the classic MXR Phase 90 design. Both share a rate control and orange exterior (though the Nebula IV arguably trumps the MXR in the visual department with an awesome silkscreened astronaut graphic), and there are clear sonic similarities in certain applications. But there’s a lot that’s different too. The Nebula IV includes a level knob, which combats the level drop suffered by early MXR Phase 90s. It also includes a true-bypass switch, Boss-style power jack, and LED indicator.
A lot of classic four-stage phaser pedals used six op-amps and matched JFETs to achieve the swirling effect. Some pedals had a few different controls, but the classic fourstage designs of the era typically had fixed depth and only a rate knob to control oscillation speed (MXR’s Phase 100 was one of the first successful phasers to introduce an effective depth control).
Interestingly, the Nebula IV shares the same component configuration as an original bud-box Phase 90—28 resistors, five matched JFET transistors, six op-amp stages, two diodes, and 10 capacitors. In the ’70s, there weren’t as many options for part sourcing. And the fact that MXR managed to fit all the stuff that made up a great sounding phase circuit into a box with such compact dimensions back then remains a minor miracle. But certain design compromises had to be made too—which is one of the reasons why the Phase 90 had just a depth knob.
Component manufacturing has evolved considerably since then, and Mojo Hand makes the best of these improvements to create a much more versatile phaser. Instead of six TI 741 op-amps taking up space, there are three TI dual-stage TL072s mounted in sockets. Rather than seven ceramic disc caps, there are six precision small-form box poly caps, two regular poly caps, and two small electrolytic caps. And in place of noisy, carbon comp resistors, there are smaller precision metal-film resistors. The inside of the pedal is both spacious and pristine as a result.
Turn on, Tune in, Drop out
There’s a beauty about a pedal this simple and intuitive—you could fit the operational instructions in a fortune cookie. You just turn it on, dial the knobs, and find a phase pattern that inspires. To initiate my own explorations, I placed the Nebula IV in my pedalboard after a Fulltone Wah, Univox Super Fuzz, and vintage MXR Distortion+ that feeds a ’66 Fender Twin Reverb. At the other end of the cord, I plugged in a ’96 Fender US Lone Star Strat.
Many players use phase pedals with a shallow depth and slow sweep to subtly alter the tonal characteristic of their clean guitar tone. Throwing the Strat’s pickup selector into the neck position while playing clean rhythm through a mellow phase softened the Strat’s tone a touch by rounding off some of the treble frequencies and tightening up the bass. In a full band, it’s a perfect recipe for blending in without getting lost in the mix, and Carlos Alomar’s tone during the Bowie era—the high guitar parts in “Golden Years,” for instance—is a good point of reference for how the Nebula IV can work in this context.

oddly placed power jack.
Ease of Use:
Mojo Hand FX
One of the cooler aspects of the Nebula IV is that you can dial in the volume (even overdrive it a tiny bit), as well as adjust the depth setting. The original MXR Phase 90 has almost mythical status because the depth is set so perfectly in the box. But the Nebula IV’s ability to nail that sweet spot and cover the additional ground is a welcome— and musically useful—evolution.
Cranking up the depth and rate a touch, I was able to nail Jonny Greenwood’s phased guitar tone from Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android.” Pushing the depth even further gets you cool vowel-like tones with a little overdrive, much like the rhythm guitar in Tame Impala’s “Solitude Is Bliss”—a great texture for livening up an otherwise dull and pedestrian strumming pattern. The Nebula IV works very well with other pedals too, and driving it at full phase with the Super Fuzz out front conjures a fantastic, deep and menacing swirl without losing detail or definition.
The Verdict
The Nebula IV does a beautiful job of capturing the magic of the original Phase 90 and extending the sonic possibilities of that foundation. Newer, higher precision components and some engineering prowess make the Nebula IV a lot like a higher-fidelity, lower-noise descendent of the original MXR Phase 90. It’s more dimensional and spacious, however, and it puts a lot of tone-shaping control at your fingertips.
Complaints are minor: The power jack is less than conveniently located, causing right-angle 1/4" cables to poke up in harm’s way. Otherwise, the Nebula IV is a well-built, stylish and versatile phaser that will please even the most hardcore swirl fiends—and perhaps bring some new ones into the fold. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9150159358978271}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '77632', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:EW7LZJHUSW7AIMNYOTU7TJZY2VNP5JMT', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:35e66e0c-f6dc-4760-84a3-f6bfb92c65a4>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 16, 20, 17, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.91.60.49', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:PC6YEXWR3SRHFFGHBRIBGBCSCGDTNB5T', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cea5c4fe-e740-4227-8928-1badd5fa9c53>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Mojo_Hand_Nebula_IV_Phaser_Pedal_Review', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:4f410764-1dab-49cf-9230-aa11ba16fde4>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1046', 'url': 'https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Mojo_Hand_Nebula_IV_Phaser_Pedal_Review', '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-10-142-55-37.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': '0.07674026489257812', 'original_id': 'c693e2778ceee676f1688d5fbc0a8d240dda2370fc3e8698dbd3abbeda810cb8'} |

Sunday, November 10, 2013
The Arizona Capitol Times had another hard-hitting article on the prosecution of Tom Horne, the liberal Republican Attorney General who has no chance of winning re-election, according to powerful D.C. consultants who have taken polls. Prosecutor Sheila Polk is not the only one who has found wrongdoing by Horne, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery has also found reason to civilly prosecute Horne. This is why conservatives and Tea Party activists are supporting Mark Brnovich instead. Brnovich has been endorsed by Montgomery as well as Rep. Trent Franks.
Here are some excerpts from the article by Jeremy Duda -
The
crux of Polk’s case is a series of phone calls between Horne and Winn
that occurred while Winn was communicating via email with Brian Murray,
BLA’s political consultant. While Polk and Montgomery have presented
the calls and emails as evidence of coordination, Horne and Winn say
prosecutors can’t prove they were talking about the attorney general’s
race or BLA activities. They say the calls were about Winn assisting
Horne with a real estate deal.
As evidence of
coordination, Polk cited the timing of Winn’s phone calls with Horne and
her emails with BLA’s consultant. In some cases, the calls closely
followed Murray’s emails to Winn about the BLA ad, and
Winn’s responses to her consultant came just after her conversations
with Horne ended. Horne also forwarded Winn an email several days later
in which one of his campaign staffers discussed Horne’s campaign
strategy, and urged her to raise more money from a
national Republican group. And Polk’s case is bolstered by the fact
that Winn worked on Horne’s campaign, and didn’t leave to work on her IE
until a few weeks after the GOP primary....Several
elections attorneys emphasized that Polk will have to meet a relatively
low standard of proof. While prosecutors in criminal cases must
convince juries that a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt, civil cases such as Horne and Winn’s are held to a lower
standard called “preponderance of evidence,” meaning that Polk only has
to show that a violation was more likely than not.--In
her order, Polk said the evidence against Horne and Winn is compelling.
She said the phone conversations between them while Winn and Murray
discussed the content of the ad via email shows that they coordinated
their efforts. Winn’s comments to Murray about how “we” wanted certain
changes to the ad show she was consulting with someone else, and Polk
insisted that person must be Horne.
“Winn almost always consulted with Horne prior to instructing Murray,” Polk wrote in her Oct. 17 order....“When
Horne sent strategic information to a supposedly independent campaign,
he intentionally and blatantly broke the barrier that was supposed to
exist between his campaign and BLA. The breach is so clear that
Horne must have recognized it to be improper,” Polk wrote....
Polk
ordered Horne and Winn to repay about $400,000 that the prosecutor
alleges was illegally contributed to BLA, and they could face a fine of
up to $1.2 million if they lose the case. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '7f678a8a318ef1b5f798bbed955ebb613a26cc4951b6b6971e680d66c9fcf06b'} |
We’ve slowly been learning more about Google’s upcoming Fuchsia OS, but given how different it is from Android, we can’t take anything for granted. It was easy to assume that Assistant would be back, but today we’ve gotten accidental confirmation from discussed changes to the source code.
There’s only one straightforward reference to an “assistant” in the Fuchsia repo currently, but it doesn’t explicitly mention the Assistant (capital A, as a proper name). This seemed awfully suspicious because, judging from Google’s CES booth earlier this year, Assistant is at the forefront of Google’s business.
While digging through Fuchsia’s code review history, however, we stumbled on Assistant being mentioned alongside a mysterious agent dubbed “Kronk.” This change was quickly shot down however, with one Googler — Gabe Schine — commenting “We may not want this in the tree, given that Kronk is codenamed for a reason.”
With this new lead in hand, we were able to uncover a now-removed page that further confirmed our theory. You can (for now) still see a cached version of the page here. It was this page that finally confirmed that Kronk is indeed the Google Assistant agent.
Kronk is the Assistant agent. It is built out-of-tree and deployed to a Google Cloud bucket.
It’s clear from these examples that the Fuchsia Team doesn’t want to make direct reference to the Assistant in the code or documentation. It has a codename “for a reason.”
You may remember from 2011 that, before its release the next year, Google Now (which became Google Assistant) was originally codenamed “Majel”, a reference to Majel Barrett, the voice actress for the computer seen throughout the majority of Star Trek. The name “Kronk” is in a similar vein, as Yzma’s assistant is named Kronk in the Disney movie The Emperor’s New Groove.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. We’ve obtained a built copy of “Kronk” and inside there are references to yet another codename — something called “Bucky.” It turns out that, in the movie, Bucky is Kronk’s squirrel friend, who he’s learned to talk to. At this time, we’re not sure the purpose that “Bucky” serves, but we’ll continue to dig into this mystery.
The question still remains though: Why is “Assistant” being censored? Assistant is an existing and very successful product for Google, and surely a feature they would want to advertise when and if Fuchsia actually launches. Maybe that’s the thing, though: It could be that Google doesn’t want to further hype up and legitimize a project that’s still skunkworky. That’s just a guess, though.
One whimsical explanation for the name itself comes from the movie, where Kuzco says:
And let’s not forget Yzma’s right-hand man. Every decade or so she gets a new one. This year’s model is called Kronk.
We can only speculate based on what has been made public until Google is ready to talk about Fuchsia. In the meantime, I’ll be shouting “Wrong lever, Kronk!” at my Google Home. Stay tuned to our weekly Fuchsia Friday series for the latest info about the upcoming OS.

\section{Condition for Independence of Discrete Random Variables}
Tags: Probability Theory, Discrete Random Variables, Independent Random Variables
\begin{theorem}
Let $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$ be a probability space.
Let $X$ and $Y$ be discrete random variables on $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$.
Then $X$ and $Y$ are independent {{iff}} there exist functions $f, g: \R \to \R$ such that the joint mass function of $X$ and $Y$ satisfies:
:$\forall x, y \in \R: \map {p_{X, Y} } {x, y} = \map f x \map g y$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
We have by definition of joint mass function that:
:$x \notin \Omega_X \implies \map {p_{X, Y} } {x, y} = 0$
:$y \notin \Omega_Y \implies \map {p_{X, Y} } {x, y} = 0$
Hence we only need to worry about values of $x$ and $y$ in their appropriate $\Omega$ spaces.
\end{proof}

Identification of the triggers of celiac sprue.
Three theoretically antigenic synthetic peptide subunits of alpha-gliadin were evaluated in vivo in four patients with celiac disease. A sequence of alpha-gliadin (amino acids 31-49) was toxic in all patients, suggesting that this sequence is one of the triggers of the immune system in celiac sprue. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '005b31727ad4b5e3d0b48e68494a2656f0ce02184b5b50379003b9c3f9c16408'} |

A band formed in the early 90s with Maynard James Keenan on vocals/synth., Adam Jones on guitar, Danny Carrey on drums and Justin Chancellor on bass. A true band that doesnt rely on the studio to make their music sound awesome and actually sound better live than on album. They not only have the most talented instrumentals today but also have deep, thought provoking, meaningfull lyrics.They arent in it for the money and have yet to sell out to the mainstream, unlike countless other bands today. If you want to listen to music on the calibre of Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Mettalica, and Pink Floyd, than Tool is right up your alley. If youre a brainless sheep that thinks everything MTV says is the wisdom of the gods and think fall out boy and the jonas brothers is real music, than I'm afraid Tool is not for your ears.
Hormonol preteen girl: OMG!! The Jonas brothers are so h0tt they r000ck!!!! If you dont like them you must be like gay or somethin
Me: To bad looks have nothing to do with making good music, and at the end of the day bands like Tool actually write their own songs unlike the jonASS brothers.

My Opinion
nothing but my opinion
Imams in Denmark are open calling Muslims to murder
If you religion teaches you to kill someone than you need to change your religion or start with yourself!
Imam Abu Bilal Ismail open called in Denmark the stoning of women who commit fornication. (Screenshot: YouTube/MEMRITVVideos)
The research of "Mosques behind the veil" ensures fierce reactions in Denmark. The television channel TV2 has recorded with hidden cameras several events in the Grimhøj mosque. The mosque is in Aarhus, the second largest city in the country, and their imams openly calling the believers to murder.
"Women who commit fornication must be put to death if they are no longer virgins," said Imam Abu Bilal Ismail. If they were still virgins, it is enough to whip them out. Even converts who turn away from Islam would have to be killed.
The problem is only that what this idiot speaks is against the law from the European countries. If one of his believers is following him then he will end up for the rest of his life in jail. In this case even not Allah is not able to help him because the local law is the primary law on which he get sentenced.
At another meeting in the mosque, women, learn what they should do with their children if they are disobedient and not want to pray. "Fear of Allah" is good for the little ones, says Imam Abu Bilal Ismail.
A woman asks him how to beat her child best. In no case too hard, so the Imam. Children's bones could break faster. It is also not allowed to throw children "on the wall" or "cut them with a knife". The children were beaten for training purposes and not for the sake of violence.
He is again ignoring the European law, because you are not allowed to beat your children. If the authorities get it that you are beating your children then your children get taken away from you and you'll end up in front of a law court. Again your religious believes will not be able to help you, because the law of the nation comes before any religious believes. You'll see your children never again in such a case. So why shall you follow such idiots? If you follow their instructions you'll get into troubles and the idiotic imam will laugh about you.
"I have the greatest pleasure to raze the Grimhøj mosque to the ground", the newspaper Berliner Morgenpost quoted the civil integration Minister, Inger Støjberg. However, it would be legally difficult. In addition, these Muslims would then simply continue underground.
According to Danish law, preachers of violence can not be expelled from the country and mosques can not be closed, even if they spread popular incitements like the Grimhøj Mosque.
More than 50 percent of the Danes are against Muslim immigrants. During the last EU elections, they made the country's strongest political force, the Danish People's Party.
The Imams from Aarhus defend their violence messages. According to Sharia law, stoning and flogging are permitted. Measures, on the other hand, were a repression of religious freedom which was unconstitutional.
In 2014, the Grimhøj Mosque in Aarhus expressed its support for the Islamic State (IS) fighters. And Imam Abu Bilal Ismail has prayed to Allaah in 2014 for the destruction of the Jews to Allah: "Count them and kill them to the very last one."
Maqsood Ahmad (L.I.O.N) - a Pakistani Muslim Coward
Maqsood Ahmad (L.I.O.N)Maqsood Ahmad declares himself in his LinkedIn profile as Director Lasani Quran (, a website which defines their vision as "Our vision for Lasani Quran is to spread Islamic knowledge throughout the world ...". If such a person like Maqsood Ahmad uses a constructed (photoshopped) more than 12 years old picture for a LinkedIn posting then he has some special intentions with his posting. Every photo is nothing else than a snapshot from a moment and says nothing about it how it has been coming to the situation. If such a picture gets constructed and used for a special purpose then this purpose is very questionable. In such a case you can only speculate about the true background. If such a speculation hits the truth then the author feels himself dismantled and deletes his posting. Maqsood Ahmad has done the same like little children are doing if they are caught in lies, he deleted his posting at LinkedIn.
What can you expect from a Islamic Quran Education institute where the Director from the institute is already a liar?
Maqsood Ahmad posted at LinkedIn with the text "There is no reason whatsoever you can point a gun to kids. Brave Palestinian kids. Salute to the cause" the following constructed picture, which should give you an impression of inhumanity:
The problem of the above picture is:
• Everything except the person in front is drawn sharp and clear - from the rocks in front until the rocks in the background.
• By taking a look at right side from the trousers of the person in front you'll see that there are disturbances in the image, which cannot get explained with wrinkles of the clothing. Such disturbances happens when you try to cut something from a picture where a strong contrast is not available. Here has made the guy, who has constructed the picture, some mistakes.
• Not one photographer will make a picture within this angle if there is war and a gun is pointing to him. He will bring himself first in a secure area and make a picture afterwards.
• Not one soldier will go down on his knees if he is alone in an insecure area. Soldiers are going in groups and protecting themselves from all directions. The person with the stone can be a red herring too and the soldier can get attacked from another side while he is concentrating himself to the one attacker.
Why is posting Maqsood Ahmad such a fake picture?
One possible answer can get found in the sentence: "Brave Palestinian kids". Instead of calling such kids to be stupid and thinking about the responsibility of the parents he is calling such a child "brave". With other words he is confirming that the Islam is a religion of war and conquest and not a religion like others which are preaching peace and love. Already this answer will make Maqsood Ahmad to one of the hate preachers.
If we are combining the posting from Maqsood Ahmad with the facts that the Muslims are using children as suicide bombers and as terrorists then the content from the posting shall help children in reaching their deadly destination. An actual report from the British Daily Mirror, Disturbing video shows children in Gaza acting out mock terrorist attacks at pre-school graduation, shows what the Muslims are understanding in humanity and the value of a human life for them. Such stupid cowards like Maqsood Ahmad like to use for their war innocent children and women. Such people like Maqsood Ahmad are a dishonor for the human race and showing us what the Islam really stands for. If someone expect that others are handling himself in humanity then he need to show first that he is a human!
Here you see a screenshot from the posting which the coward Maqsood Ahmad has already removed:
One of his friends, who even don't like to provide a manhunt picture by himself, commented:
Abdallah عبدالله عبدالرحمن
I remember this image. this girl got shot
How stupid the hat preacher Maqsood Ahmad is gets shown that he has invited his friends, who shall support him in his fake campaign, in the first two comments. One from them is the Abdallah above. The oldest version from the picture, found in Google picture search, has the date April 11, 2004. At this time in Abdallah's profile is written: "Education: Govt. College of Technology, D.A.E, Civil Engineering, 2002 – 2005". Maybe even his education is a lie like his comment above.
Maqsood Ahamd dismantles the Quran on his website to a script, which needs to get explained by qualified teachers:
This Website helps each student to learn Quran online by qualified teachers.
The sentence above is contradicting the version that the Quran is a holy script. Which God will use words by speaking to his followers which they don't understand and need to get interpreted from human teachers?
The Muslims are thinking that they can dominate the world and that is wrong. They are crying about humanity and are hiding themselves behind children and women. What can they really expect in such case? As long they are only killing each other would it not be a real problem, but as soon as they are trying to export their understanding from humanity (terror attacks) they need not wonder themselves that they'll get an answer from the other countries.

Is the Islam a religion or a worse dictatorship?
Islamic WomenThousands civil rights activists in Saudi Arabia have demanded in a petition of King Salman abolish the guardianship system in the ultra-conservative kingdom which allows men extensive rights over women.
They demanded in the petition, the king should establish "an age of majority of women", "from which they are grown up and take responsibility for their actions," the retired academic Asisa al-Yusuf said on Tuesday. Nearly 15,000 people have signed the petition calling for the "fully as citizens" to deal with tens of millions of women in the country. Their attempt to present the petition to the Royal Cabinet failed. Jusuf said. Instead, they now will send them by E-Mail.
Women are dependent on male relatives
In Saudi Arabia, a particularly strict interpretation of Islamic law, the Sharia law. For women, this means that they need even for everyday trifles the consent of their legal male guardian, may not work or travel. Until they are married, the father takes over this function, then the husband. Widows depend on the decisions of her son or another close male relative.
Already this rules are showing that the Quran did not get written on the command from any God. God, however you'll call him, will never differ between the genders. These stupid fundamentalists are only hiding themselves behind a religion for dominating the women. This fact shows that the women had in the old time more intelligence then the men and the men have been afraid losing all their possibilities in dominating the females. For this reason they have invented the religion called Islam where they like to suppress all others. It shows how stupid and stubborn these Islamic fundamentalists are and nobody will miss them and their stone age culture if they will disappear from the world. In the rest of the world are such people called "eternally yesterday's people" or "stupid born and nothing learned". As the Islam is nothing else than only a form of totalitarian regime, worse than a dictatorship, should get the recognition as a religion removed from the Islam.
A in the summer from the human rights organisation published a report on the current situation of women in Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Watch (HRW) stir and prompted a group of activists to launch the petition of "#IAmMyOwnGuardian" (I am my own guardian).
According to Jusuf, the petition was signed by some religious leaders believe that the strict laws in Islam are anchored, but assumed in the Royal House. There again, there are some open entirely for reforms family members, which would however be outvoted by conservative leaders, citing the Koran.
Small steps towards more rights
"#IAmMyOwnGuardian" is not the first spectacular initiative, in addition to international protests resistance against this system, around 2013, when petitioned in vain for the right of women to drive a car, was formed in Saudi Arabia in the past again and again. In March 2014, a similar initiative had pointed to the unequal treatment and called, inter alia, to proceed against the marriage of minors, as well as sexual harassment.
Even though it is still a very long way to equal rights for Saudi women, but small improvements are characterized. Since the end of last year the Royals granted also women who were completely excluded from political processes, the right to vote. But in a very restricted democracy: the men can cast their vote only since 2005, and only in municipal elections. The influence of the elected bodies is low, the powers extend beyond little road construction, public facilities, and garbage disposal. Political parties and even demonstrations are banned in Saudi Arabia.
Rights of religious police restricted
During spring time Saudia Arabia earned a rare praise of the human rights organization HRW for reducing the rights of the religious police. The dreaded moral guardians who are monitoring compliance with the strict rules in the general public, though are still active, but may since this year they are not allowed to arrest somebody, they need to report violations to the police.
HRW called it a "positive step for the people of Saudi Arabia", but called on the Saudi Government to curtail the rights of authority for the promotion of virtue and prevention of Vice.
Is the Islam a religion of peace or war?
Like all other "holy books" the Quran got written by humans after the death of Mohammed. Only the mighty ones and the savants have been able to write in ancient time. So you find the influence and interpretation of such people inside the "holy scripts". Think about the value from quotes transported by mouth. Everybody forwards only these content what he has understood by himself. Errors and misunderstandings are inevitable in such a procedure. You only need to remember the kids game called silent message. Very seldom matches the result to that what has been provided to the start of the chain. Such a suspicious source got used for writing "holy scripts". Until here is no difference between the Islam and other religions.
The result has been that all these codices had differences in the same way like the content got transported from mouth to mouth by the people. The third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan (644-656), burned all previous existing scripts and established a standard version known as Uthman's codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran known today.
In the year 1389 the Muslim savant Ibn Khaldun wrote (Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs):
In Islam, the person in charge of religious affairs is concerned with "power politics," because Islam is "under obligation to gain power over other nations"
(Muqaddimah, trans. Rosenthal, p. 183).
No other religions had no such universal mission and the holy war was not a religious duty to them apart from self-defense. This fact shows clearly that the Islam is nothing else than a dangerous teaching made from humans and not from any God. If a belief needs to get distributed by force, then this belief has no value because thoughts and opinions of people cannot get controlled. A God, however his name is or however you are calling him, is omniscient and omnipotent. For what does he need other humans to bring his rules and teachings by force to other people?
The mighty ones in ancient time have known this fact too and have decided by themselves to use troops instead of sending missionaries to other regions of the world. That shows that these mighty ones used their influence to get their wishes written into the "holy book" and not the truth. They are only using the Quran for hiding their own power hungry wishes from others. The Quran is nothing else than a excuse or a pretext for filling the pockets of the mighty ones without making themselves responsible for anything.
Another excuse get heard from time to time, that the Christians have loaded a lot blame with the Crusades. What is not known to many people but is the fact that it came only to the Crusades after the Muslims have almost 500 years (exactly 464 years long, from 635 until 1099 AD, (1099 = start of the first crusade)) invaded the Christian countries, they have robbed, terrorized and plundered. There were very many Christians murdered, raping their wives or sold together with their children into slavery. Christian churches were destroyed, burned down the houses of Christians and Christians had only to chose to convert to the Islam or to get killed by the Muslims.
For almost over 500 years, Muslim troops attacked formerly Christian countries such as Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Spain, Portugal, parts of France, Sicily, Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Armenia, Turkey (Byzantium), Cyprus, India, China and Pakistan. Not less cruel behave Muslims today towards the Muslims, who turn away from Islam: "whoever changes his religion ever, kill him."
For almost 500 years the Muslims in Christian countries left a wide trail of blood before Pope Urbans II 1095 called in Clermont to the liberation of Jerusalem and of the "holy land" (Israel) from the hands of the Muslims. During the reign of the Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim occurred 1009 the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, one of the largest sanctuaries of Christianity, which should be located at the historical place of the crucifixion and the tomb of Jesus.
When we talk about the Crusades, then you should familiarize yourself very well with the causes of the Crusades and study the historical process very carefully. Therefore historical events should be displayed now more detail. Of course, there were cruel excesses of all kinds by the Crusaders. It should be at all not secretive, glossed over or endorsed. They happened only after the Muslims had almost 500 years terrorized and murdered Christians. The Christian Crusades were essentially nothing more than the Christians attempting finally to put an end to the cruel terrorist of Muslims. This was achieved but only temporarily, namely at the time of the Crusades. After the Crusades, the Muslims blithely continue the conquest of Christian, Buddhist and Hindu countries with the same cruelty until today.
For a better understanding of historical events, I would like to insert two pictures representing very vividly the Muslim conquests:
• Expansion under Muhammad, 612-632
• Spread under the first three Caliphs, 632-655
• Spread under the Umayyad Caliphate 661-750
Islamic Expansion
The above map shows the Islamic expansion during the time of Muhammad from 622 until 632 (dark). After the death of Muhammad ruled the 4 rightly guided Caliphs Abu Bakr, 632-634-Umar ibn al-Khattab, 634-644 - Uthman ibn Affan, 644-656 - Ali ibn Abi Talib, 656-661. The red area shows the expansion in this period. After the 4 rightly guided Caliphs, the Umayyads came to power. Their reign stretched from 661 to 750. The ocher-colored area shows the areas that they captured.
The next picture shows an overview of the Islamic expansion up to 1500:
Islamic Expansion
Here is a list that shows that the Quran has been nothing else that "holy scripts" where the warlords could hide themselves behind it:
• 632 A.D. (467 years before the start of the Christian Crusades): Death of Muhammad
At this time, Islam was already spreaded by raids across large parts of the Arabian peninsula. These aggressions continued after the death of the "prophet" and turned into a scene of constant wars throughout the Mediterranean for centuries. The subjugated were not allowed to carry any weapons, they were incapable of military service, therefore no full men. Christians and Jews had to wear clothing or special colors (this discrimination led to the Jewish star), to be marked as "Dhimmi" (non-believer or Protectee).
They needed to accept to get hits from Muslims and have not been allowed to defend themselves. If a "dhimmi" struck back, then his hand got hacked off or he got executed. Any testimony of a "dhimmi" could not really got used against Muslims. Muslims needed to bear only half of their penalty for offenses of a "dhimmi" and they could never got executed. Conversely, the most cruel forms of executions have been mainly reserved the "dhimmi".
They were not allowed to ride horses, but only on donkeys, so they were constantly reminded of their humiliation. (In the 19th century were Christian Copts in Egypt, after all, using horses, but only if they have been sitting backwards, facing backwards.) They paid a tribute (jizya), which needed to get paid in person, where they received a blow on the head.
• 635 A.D. (464 years before the start of the Crusades): a Muslim army conquered the Christian Byzantine Empire, Damascus, the capital of the former Christian Syria.
• 637/638 A.D. (462 years before the Crusades): a Muslim army conquered the Christian Byzantine Empire, Jerusalem. Capture of Jerusalem by Caliph Omar
• 642 A.D. (457 years before the Crusades): a Muslim army conquered the Christian Byzantine Empire, Alexandria, the capital of Christian Egypt.
• 645 A.D. (454 years before the Crusades): a Muslim army conquered the Christian Barka in North Africa (Libya).
• 674 A.D. (425 years before the Crusades): A Muslim attack on Constantinople (capital of the Christian Byzantine Empire and seat of the Christian emperor) got fended off
• 708 A.D. (391 years before the Crusades): The Muslim expansion to capture the Christian North Africa reached the Atlantic Coast (Spain).
• 710 A.D. (389 years before the Crusades): With the conquest of the last Christian town in North Africa is the entire former Christian North Africa is islamized. Nearly all of the 400 Christian dioceses in North Africa go down. North Africa was once a flourishing Christian world, has produced significant theologians of Christian antiquity: Tertullian, Cyprian, Athanasius, Augustine.
• 711 A.D. (388 years before the Crusades): Desecration of the Christian basilica located on the Temple Mount Santa Maria to the al-Aqsa Mosque by Abd el-Wahd. Today, the mosque there is considered third important on in Islam because Muhammad there allegedly prayed there on his "Heavenly journey", but he was at this time already buried 79 years in Medina. This magnificent Church was built once by the Christian Emperor Justinian (527-565). For Islam, converting a famous Church means also always win over Christianity. Legend formations are more important than historical facts in Islam.
Qur'an (17: 1) gets used as an indication that the "prophet" made in the year 621 a "Night journey to Jerusalem" and was taken from there until the seventh heaven (maybe it has been a drug trip). In fact, there is no historical evidence that Muhammad ever has been in Jerusalem. Since the Prophet of Islam already died in 632, the Koran cannot mean the Church St. Maria, because the church got converted in the year 711, so 79 years after his death, to the el-Aqsa Mosque. The dome of the rock is also not in question, because this building was not even built at this time.
One may assume that the rise into seventh heaven is rather a dream or imagination from Muhammad and cannot be regarded as a real event. The problem is that the Muslims consider this alleged journey to heaven as a real event. But something like this you can find in all religions. You can tell to the believers the biggest nonsense and the crowd believes it. The same is valid for the resurrection of Jesus after his death and ascension into heaven at Pentecost.
Muslim armies crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and invade Europe. Andalusia is Arab (Islamic) after its Christian population was subjected to a bloody campaign and continuously suppressed. Just as in present-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria and Turkey today, all of which were once Christian countries. The Islamic Dhimmisystem (system of government) should thereby have been even worse than the South African apartheid system. Domination and not integration or tolerance was the goal of Islam. Not only in mission, but also by wars. Two powerful military conquests penetrated Islam after they had won before in the Middle East and in Africa, 711 they have been coming to Spain and at 1453 from Constantinople to Vienna. True to the alleged words of the prophet or the interpretation of the Koran by the respective caliphs and sultans foreign nations were either forcibly islamized, with all the consequences for the most oppressed women, or made to second class subjects with greatly restricted human rights.
• 712 A.D. (387 years before the Crusades): the conquest of southern Spain is completed. The Muslims were the last Arab rulers in Al-Andalus, Muhammad XII. more than 800 years in Spain, until finally needed to capitulate on January 2, 1492 before the two Christian (Catholic) armies of Ferdinand II. (the King of Sicily and Sardinia) and Isabella I (the Queen of Castile, the northern Spain).
Parallel with the conquest of Spain the Arab Muslims in the East penetrated until 712 A.d. up to the borders of China, India and Pakistan. In Uzbekistan they conquered Turkish territories, coupled with their momentous Islamization, the Uzbeks the Arabs partly stubbornly opposed resistance. Soon the Arabs also undertook first forays to India and Pakistan. Another reaching out to Western and Central India was prevented by the defeat of 738 against the Indian regional rulers, whose armies had grown the Arab troops well. The conquest of India by Muslims claimed the lives of 80 million Indians and to have been the largest genocide (genocide) in the history.
751 the Arabs defeated finally in the Battle of Talas a Chinese army since allegedly saw much of the Chinese troops, the Arabs as liberators and ran to them. As a result, the Chinese influence in Central Asia has been pushed back in favor of the Arab-Islamic.
• 713 A.D. (386 years before the Crusades): The Arabs conquer Barcelona, crossing the Pyrenees and begin the conquest of southern France. Around ninety years after Muhammad's death are Muslim armies (not missionaries!) In the Christian kingdom of the Franks (now France).
• 720 AD (379 years before the Crusades): The Arabs conquer Narbonne in southern France and besieging Toulouse
From al-Andalus Arab troops conducted regular raids from deep into the outbacks of Christian France. They looted repeatedly by the Rhone valley, terrorized southern France, occupied Arles, Avignon, Nimes, Narbonne, which they set 793 on fire, devastated 981 Zamora and deported 4,000 prisoners. Four years later they burned down Barcelona, killed or enslaved all the inhabitants, devastated 987 Portuguese Coimbra, which then remained uninhabited for seven years, León destroyed along with environment. Responsible for the latter operations was the Amiriden ruler al-Mansur, "the Victorious" (981-1002) made sure that he all philosophical books that he could find got burned. and who led fifty wars during his reign, regularly one in spring and one in autumn. His most famous was that of 997 against the holy pilgrimage town of Santiago de Compostela. After they had razed it to the ground, a few thousand Christian survivors needed to went into slavery.
• 732 A.D. (376 years before the Crusades): Great decisive defensive battle by Charles Martel, the "hammer" of Tours (now France), the European armies won over the Mohammedan aggression. After that, the Christians had 123 years resting from Muslim attacks.
• 846 A.D. (253 years before the Crusades) Muslims pillage Rome. The attacks on Rome began in the seventh century A.D. The prototype of a Muslim invasion occurred in the year 846 as a fleet of Arab jihadists landed at the estuary of the Tiber River, marched to Rome, occupied the city and took all gold and silver from the St. Peter Basilica. This is the reason why the Vatican, due to the repeated attacks of the Muslims (Saracens), to a fortified "city within a city" in Rome. Following the devastation performances of the Saracens in the St., St. Peter's Basilica, which deeply shook the Christian world, was decided to secure the area around the tomb of Saint Peter. The completed area got the status of a city with its own right, which was separated from the Roman Forum, the Center of political, economic, cultural and religious life in Rome.
• 1009 A.D. (90 years before the Crusades): Caliph al-Hakim ordered the systematic destruction of all Christian sanctuaries, including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. 1009 the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem by Muslims is destroyed, like so many others before. The plunder and expropriation of Christian churches is attributed to the Caliph al-Hakim, who also began at the beginning of the Millennium, to coerce the mainly Christian officials in his territory to the adoption of Islam.
• 1066 A.D. (33 years before the Crusades): held the first Jewish pogrom of in European history in the Spanish Granada (!) in the "Muslim-tolerant" Al Andalus. The Muslim masses, which at that time romp through the ghetto, call themselves "Muhadjirun" (faith fighters in exile).
• 1070 A.D. (29 years before the Crusades): the Seljuk Turks, a Turkish nomadic people from Central Asia, which itself had converted in the 10th century A.D. to Islam gains control of Jerusalem. The peaceful Christian pilgrimage to the Holy places is hampered increasingly in a massive way.

• 1099 A.D. - 1293 A.D.: After almost four hundred and seventy years Mohammedan expansion by the sword followed by two centuries of Christian defense and (re) conquest in the form of various crusades.
• 1389 A.D.: Battle of Kosovo (Kosovo). A Christian army of Serbs, Bosnians and Bulgarians is destroyed by a Muslim army. The Christian Balkan states are Muslim vassals. Even during the 14th century the famous Muslim savant Ibn Khaldun wrote, although Judaism is able politically to survive in this world, but there was no universal claim, conversely, did Christianity although a universal claim, but it has not been following him with political and military means. Islam is superior to both religions, because he clubs both: "In Islam, jihad (holy war) is required by law, because it has a universal mission and is maintained, voluntary or forced to convert the whole world to the Islam" (The Muqaddima).
• 1423 A.D.: Venice, as a leading commercial and naval power in the Mediterranean, began with the help of his mercenaries to oppose the Ottoman Empire, when it saw threatened by the expansion of the Turks towards Adriatic Sea its trade interests. To secure its trading privileges in the Ottoman Empire, but it closed soon peace and Thessaloniki ceded to the Turks.
• 1453 A.D.: conquest of Constantinople Opel (now Istanbul) by Fatih (after him are named mosques in Europe), the center of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Orthodox Church. The Christian emperor falls in battle. End of the Christian Byzantine Empire. Mehmet II Fatih ("Mehmet the Conqueror") was a wise leader of the Ottoman Empire. A truly kind man, and made for his people, he always wanted only the best. Throughout Europe, name the Turkish citizens in memory of Mehmet "Fatih" mosques. The list of "Fatih"-mosques is long.
But there is also another side of Mehmet II .:
The Serbian author Konstantin Mihailovic writes in his "Memoirs of a Janissary" about him: "Sultan Mehmed had after his father Murad a happy reign. But he was also very cunning and deceiving if he could - even with the truce. Religion has not been important for him, but he was a famous man of war and had a lot of luck. He had no loyalty. If someone rebuked him, therefore, he roared like a madman. His handling of persons subject was ambivalent. So on the one hand reports of generous gestures and protection decrees, on the other hand writes Konstantin Mihailovic an eyewitness: "The entire army of the Sultan murdered and massacred on the streets, in the houses and in the churches."
With the conquest of Constantinople there were also individual murders, such as on Megadux (Byzantine dignitary) Lukas Notaras, the Mehmed wanted previously used as a governor of Konstantin Opel. He made him and his sons executed because Notaras refused to provide his (pretty) 14 year old son to the Sultan as catamite. The Ottoman chronicler Dervish Ahmed (1400-1486) reported similar: "The Giauren (Christians) of Istanbul were turned into slaves and the pretty girls were taken from Gazi (Muslim holy warriors) in arms."

• 1969 A.D.: Nations illegal annexation of West Papua (the western half of New Guinea island) by the Islamic Indonesia, followed by forcible and serious human rights violations against Christian aborigines to today, and tolerated by the UN. Renaming the country in Irian Jaya ("Victorious Irian")
If I take a look at the above list then I see how peaceful the Islam is. In such a case I don't like to know what the Muslims are understanding under the word war.
Has anybody seen an Islamic missionary? I mean a real one without guns and bombs. I think it would not make any sense because everybody who has all his senses together would not submit himself voluntarily into a totalitarian religious dictatorship.
Misinterpretation - Freedom of Religion: "O Allah, grant victory, dignity and empowerment to our brothers Mujahideen (Jihadists) ..."
Every religion/people think that their religion is superior. Why can't we respect our differences and be respectful? Is religion the only thing what the people have learned in some parts of the world? Is it in this case religion not a brainwashing? If you read in the international news additional about the prayer from the Imam of the Great Mosque in Mecca, what is beginning with "O Allah, grant victory, dignity and empowerment to our brothers Mujahideen (Jihadists) ...", then you know as a normal person the intentions of the followers from this Imam with the name Abdurrahman ibn Abdulaziz as-Sudais.
Recently I got an invitation to show which reputation the Islam has for the remaining part of the world. The nature of the people is that bad news keeping longer in memory than good ones. The Islam is a totalitarian system and does not really know the word freedom. Examples for the totalitarian system can get found in masses by browsing the news sites where the leaders of the Islam are getting cited. In the same way you’ll find negative news in masses about the crime coming in the name of Allah to the countries of the "non believers".
As everybody participating in the social networks is speaking English and can find understandable news in the Internet and my mother tongue is German, I have decided to bring up an actual case from the German mainstream news sites. Mainstream news sites are the opinion makers of the crowd. The result has been the an article, which I have distributed with the following description and link at the social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter):
Is the sentence that the Islam is a peaceful religion only a bad joke?
Some claim that Islam is a religion of peace, and the jihadists are just wacky fringe groups. Extremists precisely. This especially in the West cherished by non-Muslims was wishful thinking now, corrected by Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, the imam and Quran reciter from the "Sacred Mosque" of Mecca. The Salafist and Wahabit Imam Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais applies Sunni Muslims as one of the most reliable and popular interpreters of the Koran.
The basis for the report of the main stream news sites is a prayer from the Saudi Imam Abdurrahman ibn Abdulaziz as-Sudais of Mecca's Grand Mosque, which is a war declaration from Saudi Arabia against the rest of the world and got live distributed from the Egyptian TV station:
The good news are coming from an Egyptian TV commentator who roasted the Wahhabi Imam of Mecca's Grand Mosque, Abdurrahman ibn Abdulaziz as-Sudais. As bad news are riding on a jet plane while good news are taking a snail are got this good news, which are showing that not all Muslims are from the same kind, not published in the main stream media. The business from the media site is done with their headlines. Bad news are bringing more readers than good ones. Here is the video of the Egyptian TV commentator:
Here is a transcript from the English sub-titles:
TV Commentator: What does he say in his prayer?
Prayer: O Allah, grant victory, dignity and empowerment to our brothers Mujahideen (Jihadists) in Yemen, in Sham (Syria) and Iraq and everywhere.
O Lords of the Worlds grant them victory over the godless Rafidah (Shia Muslims), grant them victory over the treacherous Jews and over the spiteful Christians and over the untrusted hypocrites.
Oh Allah, grant them victory, help and strength.
TV Commentator: Rafidah (Shia Muslims), Jews, Christians?!!!
And then you wonder when a Mosque is exploded in Najran?!
A Shia’s mosque in Saudi Arabia?!
All the people around the world are their enemies!
All the people are enemies to Salafis!
They are the only saved group!
They’re the only true Muslims, The Wahhabis and Salafis
All the other people are enemies and should be defeated
Rafidah (Shia Muslims), Jews and Christians
We will kill them all. We will fight them all
They’re talking about Muslims and about Jews and Christians in general
Not even the American coalition in which they are part of
No. No.
And then we ask ourselves how Daesh (ISIS) was created. Are you ridiculing us?
Then you say "we will fight terrorism!"
Fighting terrorism?! Are you ridiculous?
You are the source of terrorism. You are the terrorism itself.
Let’s have a break
Here are some links from news sites with a good reputation which have reported about this case in the German speaking countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland):
The same way as the Muslims do not differ between the subcategories of other religions from the World nobody else will differ between the subcategories of the Islam. Main stream news sites and TV stations are the opinion makers and a war declaration to the rest of the world, which gets done from the Imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca is nothing what can get ignored. Such leaders are promoting the image from the Islam to the rest of the world. In civilized countries such hate preachers would end up in jail and would not find some audition any more. Freedom is one of the base values in the Western World. There is also a Freedom of Religion included, but each freedom ends there where the freedom from others will get limited or influenced. Everybody has his right of freedom and not only some.
Abdul Rahman Al-SudaisSuch hate preachers and wannabe warlords like the Imam from the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, are the reputation of the Islam. They like to distribute their totalitarian system all over the world and are stupid enough to think that they can do everything without punishment. Does anyone think that other countries will use millions of dollars everyday for making a firework by throwing their bombs against the Daesh (ISIS) as the Muslims are not able by themselves to stop the terrorists and such preachers? Don't forget the Islamic terror started 1983, more than 33 years ago and not with the Syrian conflict. At WikiPedia you'll find an incomplete list from the Islamic terror attacks. That list and the speeches and hate-prayers from the leading Imams are making the reputation of the Islam in the mainstream media of the world. Such news are remembering others about their own dark history. Each child of the Western World is learning in the school about the history and all children of the Western World have to visit the schools for at least 8 years. This rule is forced by law.
If we take a look at the Muslim Population of the world from the year 2014, then we see that a minority likes to rule the world. The Muslims are even not able to make peace under each other, how they will be able to rule the world?
CC BY-SA 4.0,
As we have seen from the comments from the of the Egypt TV station seems it come to the same situation like the world has been before World War II as Hitler has declared his war against the Jews. I think everybody knows how the story has ended. You need only compare the prayer from Abdurrahman ibn Abdulaziz as-Sudais with the ideology from Hitler and you'll not find any difference.
Under such circumstances I expected a real shit storm for my article in the social networks. Only in the LinkedIn group Better Future4Earthlings a discussion about the topic has started and got a lot of comments.
The first comment made Zaheer Mirza, the moderator of the group Better Future4Earthlings. I fully agree with the following comments he wrote:
Zaheer MirzaHi Rudolf Faix ... thank you for posting this ... I urge calm discussion in this ... those who agree give reasons rather than be swayed by emotions ... and those that disagree please give reasons based on Quran and Hadith (life of prophet Muhammad PBUH) ... this is not easy ... but essential dialogue if we are to reduce/eliminate divides.
What people believe in is their personal matter ... we should only talk about how it impacts us ... we are not here to discuss merits of theologies and doctrines ... but rather the actions of others that are making our lives unbearable and then understanding the root causes of the behaviour.
An comment which describes situation in the best way has been coming from Pam Stofle:
Pam StofleIt's a difficult conversation. Period. I was raised to believe the holy book of Islam says it is ok to kill infidel. Without anyone to ask, because separation was the way in my neighborhood. It just stuck. Bring in media and it's easy to believe. Dating back for me to fear of leaders in Iran 70s and Libya, we had evidence to perpetuate the belief.
It wasn't until I made a pen pal , OBVIOUSLY before the internet, that I realized the news is not fact. My little friend was from a tiny island Qatar. She asked me the most amazing questions. Do all of you wear cone heads then burn black face people on fire? Do all of you wear mini skirt and show your cleavage to men? Do all of you kill babies? Why to Christ followers hate and kill bombing everyone everywhere? Why does America favor one small place and take land to give to Jews.? Do all Americans kill each other and dance naked at musical events? Why do Americans shoot their police. Why do the divide by white and everyone else?
You get the point
I was in 6th grade.
Sad and certain there was no hope for world peace. As media became more powerful, I questioned everything.
I protested every war, and also became agnostic for decades.
I am back with Christianity, only because I saw the possibilities for mutual aid when Islam and Christian helped after earthquakes or floods.
I'm sorry for us all.
My answer is simple, just keep being you. The light in you shines through. Yes your head coverings may scare us here, but also are you afraid our smutty dressed girls will influence your daughter's. We must find a way to let our children heal. Know, read watch the truth. Just a grandma remembering my little friend
The comment from Pam is correct describing the situation from people, who don't know how everything started - a war which started 33 years ago with terror attacks from a few idiots, who have been thinking that they can rule the world by killing innocent people. Isn't it time to stop this war for the favor of the next generation? Are such power hungry Imams like Abdurrahman ibn Abdulaziz as-Sudais, whos like to continue a war, which they cannot win, only for killing their own boredom, so important for their followers that they are not able to use their own brain? Are all the Muslims already brainwashed that they even not try to stop their dirty henchmen? After 33 years of terrorism is there no other way available than to put all these terrorists and their leaders into jail. That is the only reason for the alliance fighting against terrorism. If you take away this reason then the alliance has no reason to continue their bombings, which hits innocent people too. There is no way to make some capital out of it. Years ago I have been reading sometimes that the bad US alliance are only fighting for the available oil in the Arabian countries. The problem is only where shall get the oil used? The leading car manufacturers are all already promoting electric driven vehicles. It has been only a wishful thinking from uneducated people that the reason for the war is oil.
A very good comment, which explained how people can coexists with each other has been coming from Dave Aubin:
Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in. I am new to this, before i only listened to what was available. I will admit that it has been a challenge to understand. I have asked and have recieved some insight from friends on this site that are helping me. To understand i found that i had to remove all preconceived thought and start over. Here is what i found to date.
That we are all just human beings. We all have basic needs to live. Human beings who have been abused and/or marginalized will feel and react in a simular way. Here we have many Religions, too many to count, but each retreats to their own group and basically operate and live together but yet isolate themselves as they believe only they know the real truth. I think i do not care that they behave this way as long as they are not harming anyone else. Should they choose to fight among themselves, so be it. I will just watch as i have no interest. My interest is only that all people are the same and i do not condone...
Mistreatment of anyone. Any animal will fight if cornered and feel threatened. I do not expect any less from Human.
The question for me is that at what point did we begin to seperate and believe that we were above nature or could control nature. To understand our mental limits. To move forward we must look in the mirror and ask ourselves some very serious questions. If we were created in her or their image than we must work to prove that we are worthy. To date we have failed. And that is the ultimate challenge. She is not going to help us. She expects us to use the gift she gave us to rise above the primitive. To date we have proved that we have the power to destroy ourselves. Hardly a step in the right direction.
Another comment is showing that some people are thinking that they can make someone else guilty for the fails from their own rows. Some people are searching the failures from others instead from taking a look into the mirror and start by themselves:
Zaheer MirzaDear Rudolf Faix ... why are there refugees in the first place? Could Germany, other European countries or US done something to stop this from happening? Were some of these governments partly responsible to create this situation?
We need to stop addressing symptoms ... we need to go to root causes. What roles did various governments play to stop people becoming homeless?
The refugees are victims from a war started from Islamic terrorists against the rest of the world. It is humanity for taking care for these people. Asking for the root causes is nothing else than a joke. The Islamic terror started during the early 80ths and continues until now - 33 years. It is a problem of the Islamic world to stop these terrorists who are killing in the name of Allah.
Zaheer MirzaThese refugees were living in environments very different to what they have found themselves in post migrating to Europe. It does not take a scientist to conclude that you can't expect very controlled people to find complete freedom and have no negative consequences.
In the above comment gets even confirmed that the Islam religion is a totalitarian system without any freedom and controlled from the religion. Sure that people who are relocating from such a system have problems to find their own way in a free world.
Zaheer MirzaThis is similar to another simple reality that so many seem unable to comprehend - you can't eliminate terrorism by war. We all have seen the picture of the child who was dragged from the rubble - what will he become?
The terrorists have started with their attacks the war against the Western World. Like you see in the prayer from Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais supported from the highest Imams. That shows why the Muslims are not acting against the terrorists, who are killing in the name of Islam. Shall the Western World wait until they are getting slaughtered? Why did you not use it if you know a better method stopping the terrorists? As you don't have any working method found during the last 33 years why others shall wait in fighting against the terrorists? Don't forget that there is a way to reduce the terror coming from one region. The end of the second world war has shown it. The result will be not only one crying child. A lot of innocent people would lose their life and the area will be a desert for thousands of years.
Any comments on comments made by Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq? He made a lot of effort to answer the original question.
Dr. Mohammad Omar has completely failed the topic. Here is the discussion about how to make a better world for all and not about understanding the Islam. Deeds have more weights than words and everybody is free in his own decisions and beliefs. Nobody will ask if the intentions are sincere if someone kills himself with a bomb in the middle of a crowd by yelling "Allahu akbar". The result is still the same. Whom do you like to explain the Islam in this case?
Some others like Nazim Ali misunderstood the topic of the posting and of the group completely wrong:
Nazim Alithough I usually refrain myself the posts and commenting in this group but as Zaheer Mirza has named me so its my responsibility to respond about this .. first of all I would like to as Mr. Rudolf Faix about a few words he used... wahabbism..? what exactly wahabbism means about and how it was originated..? how wahabbism is associated with the roots of ‘house of saud' ..? what the term jihadi, jihad means in comprehensive way..? what is the context of particular phrase in which the word used by imam in a prayer during such communal gathering..?
please answer me these few questions and then I will start explaining it...
well after reading a blurry and staggering response from the person claiming that imam invoked jihadist and prayer for them.... I m done.... because you are also inspired by the similar problem of relying in media though urging others to deny that.... next time before raising a question please take a thorough look on the things you going to post...
The group is named Better Future4Earthlings and not discussion about the exact meanings of some words. It does not matter what I'm understanding about some words. Important is what the crowd is understanding by the named words when they are reading them in the international press. I wish Nizam Ali good luck by explaining some words to the masses while the terrorists are making his explanations to a lie. With neglecting the news from other countries and other opinions nobody can win something. Such comments got expected from narrow minded people. Simple to summarize: "I simple not believe it and for this reason it cannot be".
Dr. Mohammad Omar FarooqA little bit better has been the comment from Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq, but still far away from the real topic. He tried to convince me about the Islam religion. Sorry, but the crowd has a negative view about the Islam, because the actions from the terrorists, who are killing in the name of the Islam are speaking louder than any words. Victims from the Islamic terrorist and their family members are not interested if the terrorist has been a true Islamist or a fake one. That does not change something for them. The result is still the same. These actions are the problems and not the real teaching of Mohammed. Whom do you think you can convince that the Islam is a peaceful religion if your leaders are praying for power for the Jihadists for killing others? Do you think that the crowd in the Western World is the same way uneducated like in the countries of the Islamic world?
One comment from Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq is for me very strange:
Salam, Mr. Faix. If the Saudi Grand Mufti made such a statement, it is something to be deeply concerned. However, before we jump to conclusions, I opened the link and visited the site. Quite interestingly, the "About" button is disabled. Even more interesting is the fact I could not identify a single such report from any of the mainstream media. If it was said, it would be a big news not to be picked up by others. For the credibility of this report, it would be helpful if alternate sources from mainstream media is provided. Thanks and warm regards.
My article has no links inside and my website does not have an About link. My website has a disclaimer box and a link to the full disclaimer including my contact details. As he even did not mention which link he has followed I'm not able to know about which About button he is writing. At this time got provided from only one link to a WikiPedia article and one link to the Austrian newspaper, an old newspaper company with a good reputation. As the content from is written in German, there cannot get an About-Link found. Other links to my sources got provided at the end of the discussion. So I really don't know which website the guy is meaning.
Even some very narrow minded people have left their comments to the posting. One from these people who are believing something only for the reason it is written somewhere is Robert San Miguel / Vasquez. This guy has even not been reading the full article and even don't know the name of the group. He think that he needs only to write some statements and everybody will believe and agree with him. The professional golfer Robert San Miguel / Vasquez is even contradicting himself in his statements. He is simple starting with the words "This is nonsense" without the knowledge what is really written in the article. He like to compensate his missing knowledge with big words:
Robert San Miguel / VasquezThis is nonsense ! Islam isn't the culprit. The true catalyst to all world conflicts are the fake lying Ashkenazi Jews. The real imposters. They love to cause " social disorder ".
These f kers are the filthiest of all in humanity.
Why ? Because they love to cause " social disorder " then they get the boot ... But now with them stealing / occupying a state they are centralized to cause havoc across the Middle East like a wolf in sheep clothing. Isis is Israel ... Israel is Isis.
The world is blind or easily mislead by pure propaganda .... The Hebrew Jews left dark skinned from Israel and now returned " white " ! Really world wake up ! Speak up ! Stop this nonsense of " white washing " history.
We have more than enough American wealth to have them removed its their venom of fangs are biting into all other countries ! They are vile... the children of Satan " their father is the King of lies and deceit.
The Jews declared war on Germany ! Not Germany declaring war ! They lived in Germany and wanted to conquer! Hitler saw it growing up so yes it was his personal mission to rid those vile people off the earth ! And skin color is the racism all humanity is taught daily. It makes a huge difference! It's called being an impersonator to deceive the world with their bs " emotional ideology " of nonsense main stream media propaganda.
John 8:44
And the truth isn't hate ..its those that hate the truth that are in denial
The end of humanity is in Revelations and guess who is the culprit causing " social disorder "
Revelation 2:9
I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
Even in the Quran they are the evil ones ! Sorry it's in all the holy books of the vile ones in humanity the great imposters of lies and deceit.
Rudolf Faix bro I didn't kill Jesus or any of the holy prophets ..... But I can tell you who did and show you through the Torah Old and New Testament or even the Quran.
Ponder ??
Jesus = Muslims love and recognized Jesus as…
The truth isn't an insult brother ! I love God ! God knows what's in my heart I refuse to conform what others deem correct in society. God lives through me so I will always do my best in speaking and seeking the truth.
Rudolf Faix the holy books are not a lie but they do tell of the " great liars in humanity "
99 percent of Islam is super peaceful and that other 1 percent that are bad are driven by those that cause the social disorder. The world the UN has displaced thousands and thousands of people from the regions of the Middle East so yes cultures will clash but it's all premeditated pre-orchestrated by those occupying Israel !
Religions are man made up first of all. That's the issue for those practicing organized religions. Islam and Christianity are not religions !'s a way of life not what the main stream media ( idiot box / tv ) feeds the masses to indoctrinate.
Rudolf Faix who caused the displacement of those Muslims in Europe ? Of course there will be huge cultures clashed they knew that when they caused the displacements !
I lived for over 10 years of my life serving my country over in the Middle East and when I say I lived .. I adapted to their culture I walked amongst them and even pray with them. Do not believe what you read or see fed through main stream media
As I have asked him: "Robert San Miguel / Vasquez, which Islamic war do you mean with replacement of the Muslim from Europe? Between 1423 and 1878 had happened 10 unsuccessful wars initiated from the peaceful Muslims against Europe. Sorry that Europe did not welcome them." I got the following reply from the deadbeat:
Rudolf Faix heading to play golf I'll catch up with you later. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻
I did not hear something again from the fake profile from Robert San Miguel / Vasquez - the professional golfer who likes to be from the US. LOL

Pre-Existing Conditions and Workers’ Comp Basics
Workers’ Comp Claims
Workers’ compensation is something individuals are entitled to as protection while on the job. What happens if you get hired with a pre-existing condition that is further aggravated by the job? Are you entitled to workers’ compensation, or will your claim get denied? Every situation is different, but the following are some basics you may want to become familiar with as you discuss your circumstances with a lawyer.
What It Takes to Be Eligible to File a Claim
Any time someone goes to file a workers’ compensation claim, they have to meet a few specific requirements. This goes for someone without pre-existing conditions, as well as someone with a pre-existing condition. Those requirements go as follows.
• The injured person cannot be an independent contractor, seasonal employee, temporary worker, or other similar type of employee. He or she must be hired by the company with a full or part-time position with the company, and the company must govern his or her hours and wages.
• The injured person should be able to prove the injury or illness happened during the course of his or her employment.
• The injured person’s employer must have workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Some businesses are not required to have it, depending on the size of the company and the state from which it runs.
When Pre-Existing Conditions Play a Role
When your injury or illness meets the above requirements, but you have a pre-existing condition related to your injury, things could get messy. Though there are ways to still receive what you deserve, many claims are denied when a previous injury exists. With the help of an attorney, you can work your way through the mess and hopefully come out victorious on the other side.
Consider someone who was previously treated for a lower back injury. His or her current employer cannot discriminate against an employee because of a previous injury. If he or she is qualified for the job, he or she has a right to take it. Perhaps the new job involves a lot of lifting and his or her back goes out again, requiring medical attention and time off work. The employer might argue the condition already existed and that the employee shouldn’t receive compensation, but the employee would argue the condition had gotten better and didn’t flare up again until performing his or her duties for the new job.
Receiving Legal Representation
As you can see, it’s not a black and white situation when you’re dealing with pre-existing conditions and workers’ compensation. If you find yourself dealing with this, contact a workers’ compensation attorney, like a Newark workers’ compensation attorney, to learn more about what you are entitled to and how you can get it.

Carter Page, former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, said he might have been included in emails with George Papadopoulos, another campaign foreign policy adviser, regarding Russia.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes pressed Page Monday night if Page remembered Papadopoulos telling people Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to set up a meeting and that he was approached about Hillary Clinton’s emails.
“I know nothing about e-mails,” Page said. “Definitely nothing. I heard nothing about that.”
“A direct question on this particular thing,” Hayes said. “Do you remember Papadopoulos emailing about this stuff?
“There were tons of emails happening on a lot of different things,” Page responded. “I could have been on them. I might have been.”
Page said there were thousands of emails shared during the campaign, but he had not heard anything regarding hacking Clinton’s emails.
Page also said he may have been part of emails chains concerning Russia.
“It may have come up time and time again, there is nothing major,” Page said.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to misleading FBI agents concerning his contacts with Russians during a January interview.
Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Monday on 12 charges, along with his associate Rick Gates, as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to determine if the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
Manafort pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts on Monday at a federal courthouse hearing. He is under house arrest and his passport has been confiscated. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'a85bbe82bab72098151753ed61fa31d56cee32a404b2fa1a936861930cd05fe6'} |

Art helps children picture their fears and concerns in Uganda – Joel, aged 15
My name is Atube Joel and I am 15 and from Namokora in Northern Uganda. The project I am working on is called ART FOR CHILDREN and I have started it to help children understand their rights through painting.
My project started in 2011 in April. The project deals with the drawing and the painting of the pictures on how the children are really mistreated by their parents and the communities they live in. According to me as a young social entrepreneur, it really feels very bad to see my fellows are mistreated. That made me to start the project mentioned above.
In a brief description, the children’s right refers to the right of the child to have the special needs that they desire from their parents and the communities they live in.
In this project, we paint in a way that can sensitize the community about the proper caring of the children. The local councilor of the community should be responsible for taking action on those groups of people who abuse children in the communities they live.
These acts always make the children uncomfortable in the communities and are types of children’s right that I see ignored often in my village:
1. RIGHT TO EAT. As a child, he/she have the right to eat in order for them to grow well and healthy. This also gives a child an opportunity to do work, play among others because It has given energy. Proper foods with good diet help the child’s body to fight certain diseases because it provide them with the body immunity.
2. RIGHT FOR EDUCATION. A child have right to be educated. Their parents have to take them to school so that they get knowledge to make them literate and this make them good future generation for example, they may be doctor, pilot or even president which may lead them to better life in future.
3. RIGHT TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS OR PLAY. Children have right to interact with others to make friends and get physical exercise to make their body fit and healthy. These make them to learn more from their friends and be social in the community.
4. RIGHT FOR MEDICAL CARE. Children have right for good medical care from their parents if they are sick. They are suppose to be taken to hospital by their parents to make them recover from the disease attacking them and this make them feel the love of the family on them.
5. RIGHT FOR GOOD CLOTHING. Children have a right to have good clothing. These should be provided by the parents of the children. This makes the children very happy with their parents and stays comfortable in the community with their fellow friends
6. RIGHT TO STAY CLOSE TO THEIR PARENTS. Children have the right to stay close to their parent to make them enjoy lives together, know where their family started from, and know their homeland as their parents could tell them.
Here is a video of my work:
When we paint, we usually paint about subjects that concern us, such as child abuse and so I am giving some examples here of some of the types of paintings we have done:
Child denied food by its father
This is the situation where by some parents or the guardians of some child neglect or refuse their children for several reasons and among others include the following
• If the child that has lost his/her parents is HIV positive, the guardians may refuse to take care of the child.
• If the child keep on doing wrong things that are always costly to the parents some of the parents may refuse to regard them as their child to reduce the rate of the waste of the money.
Child neglect may lead to the rise of the street children, which normally cost a lot to the government.
Child labour – a girl carries a baby, firewood and a 10litre jerrycan
This form of child abuse is majorly carried out in the rural areas. Children are made to carry heavy loads for example in Uganda you can find a 5 year old child being forced to carry 10 litter jerry can of water which may lead to internal injury like the cracking of the back bone.
The woman wants to sacrifice her son to the witchdoctor
This is the act of giving the child to evils in order to find something like richness. Some of the children are taken to the witch doctors who may kill them or pick away some parts of the body
Child neglect also lead to the death of some children because of the attack by the disease and have no one to take care and give them medical care. Some can even decide to commit so aide due to hard life they are facing.
The mother chooses punishment without thinking
This involves the serious beating of the child by the parents in case of any small thing he have done wrong e.g. like if the child refuse to do certain work the parents ordered for. Some of them are also refused food from home by the parents. So, this makes me to come out with the idea that parents should always learn to analyze the situation where by their children are going to find why they always do wrong and try to solve the situation or problem but not just by beating every time they do wrong.
Parent should always give necessary supports to their children in order to make them enjoy their rights, good living in the family and then make them to be the good future generation
Let them have chance to educate, play with others, enjoy time with family members etc.
Children should always show much more respect to their parents, follow their instructions and do what they tell them to do.
Problem of requirements for running the project like paints, brushes, painting papers, sketching pencils, and some washing soaps to give the members since painting dirty them a lot.
Communication to transfer the messages from the project to improve on the children’s right.
Please support my project so that we fight against child abuse together.

High Yield in a Rising Rate Environment
The Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund is currently in a “risk on” position, allocating to high yield bond assets. Investors have lately voiced concerns about the Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk. These concerns are especially relevant amid recent increases in bond yields, equity market indices, and the U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve’s moderate-to-hawkish posture further supports attention to interest rate risk.
In light of this we decided to examine high yield bonds’ historical reactions to rising interest rate environments. The results should be somewhat reassuring: Compared with interest-bearing alternatives, high yield tends to outperform in rising rate environments due to its diversification of risk factors.
High Yield’s Risk Diversification: A Potential Buffer Against Rising Rates
We can consider an investment in high yield as a portfolio of two primary risks: credit risk and interest rate risk.
High yield bonds provide a yield premium to compensate investors for the prospect of default. Some amount of credit risk is firm-specific, and investors can diversify away such risk by holding a portfolio of issues from different firms.
High yield credit provides additional premium to compensate for interest rate risk – the risk that an asset’s price will decline in response to rising interest rates.
Our data are consistent with the notion that credit risk and interest rate risk offset each other. The below charts compare total return performance of high yield bonds vs. 5 year Treasuries and 30 year Treasuries during the worst periods of rising interest rates in the past three decades. We selected 5 year and 30 year Treasuries because in rising rate environments the behavior of these securities is similar to that of other high quality fixed income assets – investment grade corporate, municipal, and mortgage backed securities.
As you can see, the average return for high yield corporate credit outperforms both the 5 year and 30 year Treasury total returns in periods of large interest rate increases, and is positive in all cases.
The illustrations are shown for general market comparisons and are not meant to represent the Fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The prior chart compares high yield to 5 year Treasuries over the worst 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month return horizons as interest rates increased. We look at short term returns for two reasons: Investors care about short-term drawdowns, and over longer periods high yield bonds’ larger coupons tend to mask price volatility.
High yield credit outperformed over each time frame, delivering positive mean returns vs. slightly negative performance for 5 year Treasuries. With longer time horizons especially, the larger cash flows on high yield bonds serve as a buffer against interest rate increases.
The long time to maturity for 30 year Treasuries greatly increases downside exposure in rising interest rate environments. Investors in this asset class should prepare for losses of greater than 10% in periods of strongly rising rates. High yield’s outperformance is even more pronounced in light of long-dated Treasuries’ interest rate sensitivity.
Since interest rate movements are inverse to returns, in periods of falling interest rates, one would likewise expect much better relative total performance by Treasury and high quality securities. Falling rates often coincide with poor performance of credit sensitive assets. This informs the design of Counterpoint’s tactical strategy, in that it allocates to US Treasuries in times of market stress.
When compared with investments in either relatively short maturity 5 year Treasuries or very long maturity 30 year Treasuries, high yield credit tends to outperform in rising rate environments.
Why Does High Yield Behave Like This?
The most intuitive explanation comes from economic history. When times are good and the economy expands, interest rates tend to increase, while companies have an easier time paying debts and default risk declines. When the economy stumbles, interest rates tend to decrease, while companies become more likely to default amid tougher conditions. Interest rate risks and credit risks are generally negatively correlated, and combining them creates a diversified portfolio.
High yield’s combination of credit risk with interest rate risk effectively creates an asset class with lower two-way volatility than other risky investments. This relative stability gives high yield a large Sharpe ratio relative to other high return assets, as seen in the below chart, a stylized version of the Markowitz opportunity set from Modern Portfolio Theory.
Among asset classes with higher average returns, high yield offers a substantially attractive trade-off: Returns that approach those of stocks, with reduced volatility. As measured by the Sharpe ratio, the risk-reward is more attractive in high yield than in stocks and in long-dated Treasuries.
A high Sharpe ratio is attractive for buy and hold strategies. But it also offers attractive opportunities in trend following. A trend following strategy is more effective in asset classes with lower relative volatility. The risk of false signals is lower, as is the risk of a sudden shift out of trend. When we consider high yield bonds as a portfolio of offsetting credit and interest rate risks, we see that it is attractive candidate for Counterpoint Tactical Income’s quantitative trend following model.
Investors in income-producing assets should be mindful of the prospect of rising interest rates. All else equal, a rising rate environment drags on returns. We believe Counterpoint Tactical Income’s allocation to high yield bonds helps to diversify interest rate risk relative to other fixed income assets, lowering volatility relative to expected returns. At the same time, high yield’s unique risk profile lends itself to trend following tactical allocation, which we believe is a key tool for avoiding portfolio drawdowns and reducing downside risk.
Sharpe Ratio is defined as a measure that indicates the average return minus the risk-free return divided by the standard deviation of return on an investment. BofA Merrill Lynch Current 5-Year US Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the direct sovereign debt of the U.S. Government having a maturity of five years. BofA Merrill Lynch Current 30-Year US Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the direct sovereign debt of the U.S. Government having a maturity of thirty years. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Bond Master II® Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of below investment grade U.S. denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The S&P 500 Total Return Index is a broad based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the US equity market in general, and includes dividend reinvestment in its value. The referenced indices are shown for general market comparisons and are not meant to represent the Funds. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Syfy’s 12 Monkeys reboots Terry Gilliam’s 1995 film about a time traveler struggling to prevent a plague apocalypse. But expect some changes. (Syfy’s version stars an intense Aaron Stanford instead of a creepy spider-eating Bruce Willis, for starters.) Below, showrunner Natalie Chaidez helps us keep our Monkeys straight:
Major setting: SAME. There’s dystopian future where a man named Cole is kept in confinement by mysterious leadership and also a modern-day big city.
Hero’s mission: SAME. Cole is sent back in time to stop a plague that decimates humanity: “It’s taking on grand questions like fate and destiny and free will,” Chaidez says.
Cole’s character: DIFFERENT. In the movie, Cole’s past is a mystery, and he’s a pretty odd guy; now he’s wracked with guilt and seeking redemption for killing people to survive the apocalypse (also, he has hair).
Time-travel glitches: SAME. In both stories, time travel is untested and not entirely reliable.
Future storyline: DIFFERENT. The future was only glimpsed in the film, but in the series there’s a whole storyline and significant characters in the future. Specifically, there are other factions who are interested in the time machine who pose a threat to Cole’s mission. Plus you get a strong sense of Cole’s past. “The series really opens up that post-apocalyptic world, which was only glimpsed during the movie, to see what he’s really done.”
12 Monkeys mystery: DIFFERENT. In the film, the mysterious 12 Monkeys group turned out to be a red herring. Here its more important and its purpose will be explored gradually during the series.
Supporting cast: DIFFERENT. Cole still abducts a doctor named Railly and meets an insane person named Goines. But Railly (Amanda Schull) is virologist in the series instead of a psychiatrist love interest and she more actively helps Cole. While Goines is a female math wiz (Emily Hampshire) instead of a googly-eyed male animal activist (Brad Pitt). “Pitt’s performance was so iconic, the series had to do its own twist. She’s a bit of mercury on screen that wiggles and waggles and you can’t figure out what she’s going to do next.”
12 Monkeys the series debuts Jan. 16 on Syfy.

About Macedonia
Passing through Macedonia is like progressing through its dark and intriguing past, each icon forming a chapter of its history. The story begins with the classical amphitheatre in Ohrid, a relic from Macedonia’s Hellenistic period. The tale moves on to the 10th Century Castle of Car Samoil, the crumbling emblem of a once formidable Bulgarian state. And the ancient Church of Sveti Jovan-Kaneo, with its lavish examples of Byzantine art, concludes with the eerie religiosity that still pervades the region. Macedonia may be a tiny country, but its living record is enormous.

Macedonia holiday information
Macedonia has numerous ethnic groups living within its borders. The largest are the ethnic Macedonians which form about 60% of the population, while others include Albanians, Turks, Romani and Serbs. The ethnic Macedonian majority is primarily Orthodox Christian, with the remaining percentage of Albanians and Turks being Muslim. Most ethnic Macedonians live a relatively liberal European lifestyle, but unfortunately, the ethnic Albanian population is marginalized. In the Macedonian custom, men shake hands upon greeting while women are expected to kiss on the cheek, sometimes even on first meeting.
The Republic of Macedonia is in South Eastern Europe, surrounded by the nations of Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania. Macedonia is part of the Balkan Peninsula, the rugged region of southern Europe named for the Balkan mountain range. Its two major mountain ranges are the Šar Mountains and the Osogovo-Belasica Mountains, and the main river is the Vardar. Macedonia has several lakes, the most notable being the Ohrid Lake, which is one of the oldest and most biologically interesting lakes in the world. Macedonia has a mixed continental and Mediterranean climate, with hot dry summers and harsh winters.
Macedonia holidays offer great opportunities to collect goods from the region. Typical mementos include ceramics depicting local churches as well as pottery and brass ornaments. You’ll find small shops selling Turkish coffee pots (jezve) made in traditional copper and decorated with attractive designs, as well as a range of coffee cups. The popular night market in Skopje sells used and antique items such as traditional jewellery, garments and books.
Balkan Folklore Festival
This event in Ohrid showcases traditional dance and song from Macedonia and dozens of its European neighbours. It also includes exhibitions of regional consumes and artefacts.
The Galicnik Wedding
This strange yet fascinating festival is part of a greater even known as Galicnik Summer. The event involves the marriage of a local couple who’ve won the contest to be married the Galicnik way. Locals and visitors alike are invited to partake in a three-day-long traditional wedding with all its customs and practices.
International Festival of Antique Theatre
It takes place in the ruins of the ancient town of Stobi, a revival of Hellenistic drama, philosophy and other re-enactments
Macedonian meals often start with a session of appetizers called meze, usually bread, cheese, nuts and olives. The traditional fruit brandy known as rakia is used as an appertif before meals, and even first thing in the morning to get warm during winter. Typical dishes include the rich and hearty tavche-gravche (casserole) which includes beans and sometimes pieces of sausage; and kofte (mince meat kebabs). Locals incorporate bread and peppers into most meals, but at restaurants, mainstream European dishes like pizza are popular. Meals are customarily closed with strong shots of Turkish-style coffee.

A different type of business school. Sure, a Harvard MBA is nice, but for new entrepreneurs who don't have the time or money for a fancy graduate school diploma, community colleges are proving to be an attractive alternative. As the Dallas Morning News reports, community colleges across the country are beefing up their entrepreneurial and career-specific class offerings to cater to would-be entrepreneurs who need to learn the basics of starting a business. One survey from the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship showed a 20 percent increase in entrepreneurial classes since last fall.
Is clean tech out of the woods? The first two quarters of 2009 were a rough time for clean tech ventures to score support, but recent developments seem to be reversing that trend. Earlier this month, Khosla Ventures raised one of the largest amounts of VC funding since 2007 and now Serious Materials, a Sunnyvale, California-based start-up has snagged $60 million in third round funding according to the San Jose Mercury News. The company produces window and drywall products that help people increase the energy efficiency of their homes for some serious savings.
VCs want to help you find your soulmate. Internet dating focused startups, like Intelius and Gelato, are all the rage with investors and bloggers, reports GigaOm. But, like fbFUND startup Thread, which raised $1.2 million for its concept of using Facebook to help users find dates, all these wannabe matchmakers that rely on data from social networking sites and public data make one dubious assumption. Namely, "that people's online reputations translate into real life." Gelato looks at your tweets and what songs you've streamed on Last.fm. Using public data, Intelius' Date Check iPhone app claims to let you know if that blind date you're meeting for dinner has had a DUI. What's the likelihood these new contenders can help you find your soulmate? Outlook hazy.
Evander Holyfield, heavyweight champ and green entrepreneur. Today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that retired boxer Evander Holyfield is trading in his gloves for a CEO title. The former champ has plans to build a solar energy farm on 40 acres of his Georgia property to generate solar power for commercial sale.

News from the Inc. 500|5000 Conference. The weather is beautiful down here in D.C. and the conference got off to a swinging start last night with a waterfront cocktail reception. So much for the recession, this year's conference has broken our all-time attendance record with over 1,700 attendees. African tech entrepreneur Herman Chinery-Hesse made an appearance last night at the reception and Zappos's CEO Tony Hsieh kicked off this morning's formal program with a quick story about how one unnamed record executive touring the Zappos Las Vegas headquarters was shocked to discover that his wife has spent over $62,000 at the online shoe retailer.

The last mentioned seems to be described as better one most preferred among entirely. Here are some of the luscious low calorie desserts for you to taste. Eating is around forever, but Americans have taken it along with whole new level by trading in healthy foods for junk not fit to feed the animals we carry on. A healthy, well-rounded diet will keep us on our feet all day and ready for what life always be throw at us, take in the amount all you consume is sugar and grease, you'll only desire to sleep including your productivity will suffer the repercussions. Our model's day starts with a one mile jog followed by 15 minutes of 12-14mph speed cycling on a stationary never-ending loop. This is then followed by either half an hour of weightlifting or yoga every wedding day. If you have sufficient time in hand, it can be a choice to do both everyday. This base point of calorie intake is different for everyone and have to do not know due to is going to proceed.

I even say this out loud if I'm feeling from a particularly deep slump. I expect you to note a couple of things to the way I have phrased my thoughts, "I take that back," this effectively tells your subconscious that this kind of thinking is lengthier acceptable. It can help you eat healthier meals. Did not healthier in order to white rice: brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, simply just and over. They are full of nutrients regarding higher fiber content, full of vitamins and trace vitamins and minerals. Let's not forget that you'd be trading body fat and sugar from fast-food take-outs with wholesome and well-balanced home-made meals.

Winter White
I did all of my seaming at lunchtime yesterday and managed to weave in the ends last night. I'm wearing my new sweater today! Overall, this project was a fun knit. The sweater is incredibly soft and not itchy at all. I was worried that the drop stitches were a little loose, but after blocking, they seem to have eased into themselves a bit more. The yarn was a bit expensive, but the sweater only used seven skeins and it was worth it. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9928122758865356}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '204639', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LJ26NBH5IBAS3MK6KLIBL5UAUFV45XBY', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ca8d365a-f08b-4476-aff7-4ff531ee1a98>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 9, 30, 7, 17, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.253.122.121', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OFVJTR7NPUULNMO7GDFYGSLYM6FFOQZN', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:18a4d385-32b4-4cbc-815f-35bb32332242>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://blog.action-hero.net/2006/11/winter-white_17.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:37d9b4fa-ca31-41cf-8d45-22733abc1223>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '86', 'url': 'https://blog.action-hero.net/2006/11/winter-white_17.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-40\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September/October 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-194\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.2087457776069641', 'original_id': 'b4e3460052e21b7d8bc15e692f76e51a7d8358bbc5b66c27c8d2d72c750f9128'} |

Anatomy: A Conversation with Luke
Though probably not what you think. This was the conversation on the way home from the grocery store last night. It's a little long, and the end seems repetitive, but hang with me.
Luke: Dad, are we going home?
DH: Yes, we need to go home and put the groceries away before they get hot.
Luke: They getting hot?
DH: Yes, they are getting hot in the trunk.
Luke: Oh. I not help carry them in?
DH (puzzled): You can help carry them in if you want.
Luke: No I not. If it hot, then I get hurt and say ouchie!
DH: Oh, no, they won't be so hot you can't touch them. The cold things will just get too warm and go bad.
Luke: I be careful with hot. Kitty [speaking to his stuffed companion], you no touch hot.
DH: That's right, we don't touch hot things, or we can get hurt.
Luke: Yeah, kitty. You touch hot and you get hurt. You hurt your face...
... and your whiskers,
... and your nose,
... and your hand,
... and your belly,
... and your hiney,
... and your tag....
Currently feeling: tickled

Liftoff 1.0
Way back in January of 2013, we released Liftoff to help developers quickly configure Xcode projects. We used it heavily internally, but felt like it was only solving part of the problem. So we’ve improved it, and are proud to announce Liftoff 1.0.
Earlier versions of Liftoff were distributed as a Ruby gem, but that added some weird overhead to the tool, since it isn’t used for Ruby development. For this reason, Liftoff 1.0 is now distributed through Homebrew. We’re adding it to our thoughtbot/formulae tap, and all future updates will be done there.
The RubyGems version will stay up, but is deprecated. If you install the Homebrew version, you should make sure to uninstall the RubyGems version to avoid confusion/potential conflicts.
The next thing that we were able to improve was the way you configure Liftoff itself. Originally, we used command line flags to enable specific configurations (there was no way to selectively disable configurations). This worked fine for us because we never touched these flags. But it made Liftoff extremely rigid and clumsy for people who wanted to configure their projects differently.
I had opened an issue after an internal conversation about possibly using a config file instead of command line options, and after an awesome contribution from @mokagio, we had a viable solution for configuring projects quickly and easily, without increasing overhead for users out of the box.
The liftoffrc file is written in YAML, and works with a 3 stage fallback system on a per-key basis. The lookup order is:
1. Local (./.liftoffrc)
2. User (~/.liftoffrc)
3. Default (<liftoff installation location>/defaults/liftoffrc)
If a key isn’t defined at one level, it will fall back to the next level. So you can safely override individual keys without changing the default behavior, or build your own set of defaults at the User level and override those options at the Local level.
Take a look at the default liftoffrc to see what keys are available for customization.
Project Creation
The largest change in Liftoff 1.0 is that you can now use it to create new projects from scratch, as opposed to only being able to use it for configuring existing projects. Now, when you run liftoff in a directory that doesn’t contain a project, you’ll get a prompt asking you for the project name, the company name, your name, and the prefix. These values will be used to create a directory structure, populate template files, and configure the new project. You can see what the default directory/group structure will look like in the default liftoffrc.
This becomes especially powerful when you consider that since the keys used to generate the new project are defined in liftoffrc, they are easily overridden for your specific needs. You can even pre-define some defaults for the options collected at the command line to speed up the data entry. For example, I’m setting author inside ~/.liftoffrc so that I don’t have to enter my name any time I want to create a new project. I’m also setting company: thoughtbot inside ~/Code/thoughtbot/.liftoffrc and company: Gordon Fontenot inside ~/Code/personal/.liftoffrc. Now, projects I create have sensible defaults based on where I’m creating them.
Additionally, you can completely redefine the project structure based on your personal preference, or your employer’s requirements. Again, referring to the default liftoffrc, you can see that the directory structure is a simple dictionary. And since the directory structure is mimicked in the group structure (including linking groups to their directory counterparts, which Xcode doesn’t do by default), the group structure will match.
We’re also creating .gitkeep files in each directory on disk, which is critical, because Xcode is all-too-happy to delete a directory off disk once it sees that there aren’t any files left in it. That’s a sure-fire way to end up with merge-conflicts in your pbxproj file.
Wrapping up
So that’s Liftoff 1.0. We’ve put a lot of work into this release, and it’s been a really great addition to our toolbelt so far. If you have ideas on how to make it even better, open an issue, or even better: submit a pull request. If you’re ready to check it out for yourself, install it via Homebrew:
brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
brew install liftoff

Borderlands Legends Hands-On Preview
Between iOS reviews, several of our staffers have spent the last month fighting their way through the console version of Borderlands 2, a sci-fi shooter/RPG. Now, they won’t have to choose between iOS gaming and the Borderlands universe, because 2K is bringing an original Borderlands game, Legends, to iOS next week.
Borderlands Legends takes place between the first two console games, with a cast of characters straight from the first game. Mordecai, Brick, Lilith, and Roland will all be playable characters, and you’ll control each of them at the same time.
You do this by dragging each character to the point where you want to them to go, or to the enemy that you want them to target. It’s identical to the gameplay mechanics of games like Battleheart and Epic Raiders, so if you’ve played either of those, you’ll have an idea of how Borderlands Legends works.
The game consists of a series of arena-style encounters, with your quartet moving from stage to stage in a randomly-designated number of shootouts. In our hands-on demo, the crew started outside of a garage, where mutant dogs and heavily armed mercenaries sprang up all around us. After we cleared that wave, the team moved inside, where they fought from behind randomly-generated cover. Then, we had to blow up the controls on a falling elevator in order to cap off the last mission and receive our full completion bonus.
One uniquely Borderlands-style addition we appreciated was “fight for your life”, a feature that lets your character come back from nearly dying if they can make one last kill. Otherwise, you’ll have to move another character next to them to heal them, which can disrupt your offensive strategy. Watching a dying, desperate character get their second wind from a well-timed attack is fairly exciting.
The Borderlands series is known for having a lot of RPG number-crunching and strategic depth, and this mobile version seems to be following suit. You can buy different guns using the in-game currency earned by completing missions, and outfit each character with special armor and upgraded abilities. In a surprising move, there is no option for in-app purchases– but 2K said they would consider adding it later if there was a demand, like Infinity Blade did after launch.
While each character is stuck with their particular weapon (for example, Roland always uses an assault rifle), the multiple action skills and abilities give you plenty of ways to customize your characters. You’ll even encounter the occasional vending machine between levels, which will sell you new gear.
Borderlands Legends will launch at a premium price: $4.99 on iPhone, and $6.99 on iPad, but there’s no level cap, so you could potentially play it for a long time. Also, there are no in-app purchases, so the in-game currency is awarded generously to let you upgrade your characters. We’re fans of the series, so we’ll be sure to bring you a full review as soon as we can. Look for Borderlands Legends to launch next Wednesday night on the App Store. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9547504186630248}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '28382', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:4MGCJFJQASUFMC66PSZ63NBIUXLH5WO5', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:978c7af8-e4a2-4b55-bf2e-0c889b27feec>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 24, 15, 46, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.163.229.182', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:DLLZ6AXFFS7YTN7RN5YTH2ZTY764YLJG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e6be313e-a0b3-4b17-b151-72bec821c6d8>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.slidetoplay.com/previews/borderlands-legends-hands-on-preview/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b4cdbb35-88f9-45ee-b025-54595f5e04a1>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '506', 'url': 'http://www.slidetoplay.com/previews/borderlands-legends-hands-on-preview/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06145119667053223', 'original_id': '2da01b6d0a841aad0a5d843648210fa6ed3d9b33aacd87cdd6d99d8aff8d0d08'} |

A/N- Written for alistaere, who requested Shunsui/Nanao and the theme "After the Battle". Second person POV, my first time with it.
Commander Yamamato's reiatsu is frightening as God's own wrath, and it chokes you even as it fades away. Somewhere out there, there is a report. Aizen has betrayed us, you know, but still, the battle you couldn't fight has left you paralyzed and frightened as a child.
How can you help? Your strength is dismissed with the barest of glances and forgotten in moments.
The book digs into your palms, and the pain reminds you of your weakness.
Then He stands above you, smiling wide and gentle.
"Come on, Nanao-chan. Let's go."
He grips your hand, and takes you away. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9573478698730468}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '35226', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:H2IUBXIKHJXE4HOCRIWXVSKPZMGMK6RX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f97d70cb-fec0-45e3-b12a-77d8db5c6b43>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 1, 7, 30, 48), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.205.184.7', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WEPEH37WOBF7BTPFJF663ZTSECDAQVTT', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:44f9fc65-5c1e-4b39-9812-99106febd865>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3040304/1/Gentle-Salvation', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:200cd95d-8ddd-4ff1-8963-fbd7c07acdda>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '119', 'url': 'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3040304/1/Gentle-Salvation', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.7931276559829712', 'original_id': '379f06cf3ba7189564115b6e59769c07b0f43211e37fe5be2f2b1bd377287749'} |
Ciprofloxacin compared with doxycycline for nongonococcal urethritis. Ineffectiveness against Chlamydia trachomatis due to relapsing infection.
We compared 7-day regimens of ciprofloxacin in dosages of 750 and 1000 mg twice daily with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for the treatment of nongonococcal urethritis in 178 men enrolled in a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. The overall clinical response was comparable in the three treatment groups at both 2 and 4 weeks after therapy. However, among patients who initially had cultures positive for chlamydia, Chlamydia trachomatis was reisolated within 4 weeks after treatment in none of 10 doxycycline-treated patients, in 11 (52%) of 21 patients treated with 750 mg of ciprofloxacin twice daily, and in six (38%) of 16 patients treated with 1000 mg of ciprofloxacin twice daily. Each of the recurrent strains was identical in serotype to the original infecting strain. We conclude that ciprofloxacin in dosages as high as 2 g daily is inadequate for treatment of chlamydial urethritis in men, often resulting in relapsing infections. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '1d491aa32b12da36931d3283c5b8fc2b6a95b5080307516987574f742e91eec3'} |

Jarhead failed to set the box office alight and fell foul of the critics upon its release. Now that we can revisit it on DVD, is Sam Mendes’ third film a failure or a misunderstood masterpiece?
Based on the autobiographical novel of the same name, Jarhead tells the story of Anthony Swofford (played by Jake Gyllenhall), a young man who was born to join the Marines, and did so in 1989. Shortly after joining, he realises he may have made a bad decision and makes some unsuccessful attempts to leave. We follow his journey from new recruit, through his training as a sniper and his eventual tour of duty in the first Gulf war.
Swoff’s deployment to the Middle East does not follow the typical war movie path: it takes six months from leaving the USA to actually seeing some action. I don’t consider it a spoiler to tell you that Swoff doesn’t use his weapon because in reality this is a story about the effects not being in a war has on a young, eager soldier.
The movie starts with a very light-hearted atmosphere. Following Swoff’s initial bullying by his squad mates, he eventually bonds with his fellow recruits and forms a friendship with Alan Troy (played by Peter Sarsgaard). The tone goes downhill slowly from here. Upon arrival in the Middle East, the recruits are still full of banter and practical jokes but they think they are going off to war. They actually find themselves on permanent standby, constantly training and waiting to go into battle and a large part of the film consists of the Marines trying to occupy their time before they finally get to go into battle.
Jarhead is a departure for Sam Mendes, in the sense that he leaves behind the family theme of his previous films and instead chooses to focus mainly on a group of men with nothing to do but play jokes on each other, bet on fights between scorpions they find in the desert and do the things that lonely men do when the only female company they have is pictures of their girlfriends and wives.
‘F*** politics. We’re here. All the rest is bulls***.’
Sam Mendes is not the most prolific director and Jarhead was hotly anticipated as an anti-war opus that would open our eyes to the reality of the current war in Iraq and to spark political debate. Unfortunately for the critics, this was not the case. There is political commentary, but it’s not thrust in your face and the main drive of the story is always the exploits of Swofford and his descent into near-madness through boredom and the constant fear that his girlfriend back home is cheating on him.
Some subtle points are made that are relevant though. For example, a lot of the soldiers’ equipment is faulty and it is obvious to the viewer that many of the problems the Marines had in the first Gulf War still need to be addressed today and the US Army hasn’t learned the lesson. These scenes are incidental to the main narrative and never seem preachy but the occurrences of friendly fire, experimental drugs and oil-well fires (and the almost complete lack of date-stamping within the film) suggest that this could easily have been filmed in the current war in Iraq.
Sam Mendes is a director with a flair for visual devices and uses his directorial bag of tricks that will be familiar to fans of American Beauty and The Road To Perdition. He is a director that wants to remind us that we’re watching a fabrication through the use of freeze-frame, narration, different styles (e.g. interviews, POV shots) and fantasy sequences. It is the fantasy sequences that caused the most difficulty for Mendes (as he mentions on the commentary). The novel has many fantasy sequences and he admits that it was difficult to translate all of them to the screen and keep them in a style that matches the rest of the film. This is probably my biggest gripe with the film. In my opinion, it would have been a more consistent viewing experience as a purely reality-based movie or a Terry Gilliam style out-and-out fantasy/reality melting pot.
The performances of the leads are strong, although Peter Sarsgaard has been purposely edited down to a mysterious character. This has both a positive and negative effect. You’re not quite sure what motivates his character and you feel like you want to find out more but it also takes a lot of the emotion that we’re supposed to feel away from the relationship between him and Jake Gyllenhaal, who convincingly plays an uneasy ex-civilian and his physique could not be more different to the slight Donnie Darko.
Jarhead is a mixed bag and has many relevant and funny moments but I felt that the film was worth less than the sum of its parts. It is not a grandstanding political film but if you approach it as a study of one man’s journey through the Marine Corps to the Middle East and back again, you can still have a positive viewing experience.
Jarhead is a good looking film. Some early training scenes feature high-contrast sunlight that becomes familiar when the story moves to the desert. These scenes have been transferred to DVD well and the brightness does not cause outline or edge problems with the characters on-screen. The later scenes set in the burning oil fields are much darker but also work well, with no obvious compression in the large black shadows.
The soundtrack is adequate for a war movie without ever being showy. There are occasional scenes with helicopters and planes buzzing around from one channel to another but large parts of the film are filled with young men either talking or shouting, sometimes with contemporary music over the top. That said, there are no problems with the sound quality and it does the job.
Commentaries are available on all extra features, and by the time you make it through all of them you have a real understanding of the original book and the film-making process (although any kind of ‘Making of’ is quite notable by its absence). The commentaries from Sam Mendes on both the feature and the deleted scenes are quite revealing, and I would say from his point of view the points he makes are possibly too revealing. He discusses his own difficulties with translating some parts of the book to film and integrating the fantasy scenes, which made me think more about his limitations as a director, rather than increasing my appreciation of the film. The feature commentary from the screenwriter (a Vietnam vet) and Swoff himself is valuable to the viewer in helping us to understand the realism of the film. Jamie Foxx in particular receives plaudits from Swoff for his believable portrayal of a drill sergeant.
The deleted scenes are a mixture of whole scenes and extended versions of scenes that made it into the film. They are all worth watching because they develop the characters more and highlight the skills of the actors when you know (from the commentary) that some scenes are almost completely improvised. One of the most interesting deleted scenes is the original opening, with Sam Rockwell as Swoff’s uncle who talks to him about war and being in the Marines.
Having made it through the movie and all the features, I feel it was a dry experience and it is apparent to me that Sam Mendes did his best to bring a thought-provoking story to the screen but the end result in somewhat lacking. There are a number of genuinely funny moments and the cinematography is impressive—particularly the shots of burning oil fields and while the extras add to the understanding of the film—but I can’t bring myself to recommend buying Jarhead because I don’t think there’s enough in the feature to warrant repeated viewings. You should probably put it somewhere in your rental list, just not at the top. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9766820073127748}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '66987', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:HGWSFWWFQFJHPMOT3Q7DCF3T247CLPXF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a2fb7f50-af39-4ece-9faa-059b53183c6f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2016, 7, 30, 3, 35, 4), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.75.151.196', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:C6KNEO5IBIAFZCF2M3NLWGI7VCWUQYJY', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0eac6612-d9b5-4b05-b7e7-29b0fef97630>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/jarhead.html?post_id=72754&action=quote', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b836d96b-1bbc-4f01-bb8a-a87ab0a467ba>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '1340', 'url': 'http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/jarhead.html?post_id=72754&action=quote', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2016-30\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2016\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': '0.145463764667511', 'original_id': '2c0b2de14f5c6d030a1f25347bee16940ec07205ad198ba89bb8f6dfc8a53efd'} |

Game Theory & Modeling
• Page 1 of 6
Auctions are highly structured market transactions primarily used in thin markets (markets with few participants and infrequent transactions). In auctions, unlike most other markets, offers and counteroffers are typically made within a structure defined by a set of rigid and comprehensive rules. Because auctions are essentially complex negotiations that occur within a fully defined and rigid set of rules, they can be analyzed by game theoretic models more accurately and completely than can most other types of market transactions.
Theory and Empirical Evidence
Edited by Karl Wärneryd
Modern economics has largely ignored the issue of outright conflict as an alternative way of allocating goods, assuming instead the existence of well-defined property rights enforced by an undefined third party. And yet even in ostensibly peaceful market transactions, conflict exists as an outside option, sometimes constraining the outcomes reached through voluntary agreement. In this volume, economists offer a crucial rational-choice perspective on conflict, using methodological approaches that range from the game theoretic to the experimental.
Options and Games
Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals’ behavior, or they can take a “wait and see” approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow.
Exploring Language with Game Theory
In Meaningful Games, Robin Clark explains in an accessible manner the usefulness of game theory in thinking about a wide range of issues in linguistics. Clark argues that we use grammar strategically to signal our intended meanings: our choices as speaker are conditioned by what choices the hearer will make interpreting what we say. Game theory--according to which the outcome of a decision depends on the choices of others--provides a formal system that allows us to develop theories about the kind of decision making that is crucial to understanding linguistic behavior.

By emulating common web SEO tactics, you can improve the quality of your enterprise search results.
To start, you'll need to know the search terms your users enter on your site. Then you reverse engineer the intent behind that search to understand what the searcher was looking for.
Once you have the top queries and their synonyms, you can start improving your results.
Identifying 'Best Answers'
Start small: focus on the top 10 queries, which typically will account for 25 percent of your searches. In fact, start with the top queries you have identified using the methodology described in my previous article.
Given the query, its synonyms, and the user intent you’ve identified, work with content owners and subject matter experts in your organization to identify the most likely "best answer" for the query.
If your search engine has a way to define best bets, you’ve got it easy: simply specify the top result for the term as the best bet.
If, like most search platforms, your search platform doesn’t provide a way to specify best bets for specific queries, you need to game your search engine.
Let’s call the top result for a search the "current top," and the document you've identified as the best bet the "likely candidate." Your task now is to identify what the current top contains that causes it to rank about your likely candidate.
Most search platforms calculate relevance using a technique called “TF/IDF,” which stands for “term frequent/inverse document frequency.” What that roughly translates to is that a word that occurs frequently in a small document will rank higher for a given query than a large document with the same number of instances of the word. You can find an excellent detailed description of TF/IDF here.
Compare your current top document to your candidate document. Overload your candidate document with the query term and synonyms. You can do this without changing the actual text of the document by inserting the term and its synonyms multiple times in the document's "properties" fields. I like to use the "keywords" field, but use what seems right to you.
Promoting to the Top
Once you have updated the metadata field with the term and its synonyms and re-indexed your content, there’s a reasonable chance that the candidate document will now appear at the top, or at least in the first few results. If you can live with the new placement, then you’re ready to move on to the remaining top queries.
If that didn't work, you may need to go back and overload the document with even more instances and synonyms. But, as you can imagine, that soon becomes frustrating. There is a better solution.
Since you added the term to a field — for example, the Keyword field — you may be able to use a trick that search experts call "query cooking" — that is, expanding the user query prior to submitting it to the search engine. This requires some reworking and lightweight programming of what happens when a user clicks the search button. It’s not rocket science, but you may need to enlist the help of your IT department.
What you want to do is expand the basic query to include documents where the Keyword field also has the term. Notice you don’t want to require the term in the Keyword field, or that would be the only result. Research your platform to see how to bias documents with the search term in the Keyword field, and rank it higher than documents that simply contain the term.
Possible Workaround
A quick tip that may work for you, depending on your search platform: You may be able to use a unique metadata term to signal a top result and bypass the use of page-specific and meaningful synonyms.
Pick a unique term that you will use across all of your content to indicate a best bet. For now, let’s assume you’ve elected to use the term "tophit." (In reality, you can pick any term not in use on your site — it helps if it’s not an actual word.)
As you go through the process of identifying your best answers, tag those documents with the meaningless term.
At search time, expand the user query so that "tophit" is included with every query. Note you do not want to "AND" the two terms, or you will get no other results.
Ideally, this will work, because your actual top result and the candidate page are no doubt similar; but the special term is only in the top result page — effectively forcing a best bet without the effort.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat

The Weeknd
About “Outside”
In “Outside”, Abel describes a drug-filled sexual encounter with a woman, who had recently broken up with her boyfriend. Enticing her with every syllable within his words, The Weeknd paints a picture of what sex is like with him. He not only describes his sexual encounter, but creates a metaphor for his listeners. Once you start listening to his music, you are automatically trapped.
On the production, Illangelo proves that any sample can be turned into a literal work of art. With remnants of Cult’s “Go Outside” used in the background, the perfect dream-like atmosphere is set. The Weeknd can do nothing but add his own brilliance to the song.

The idiots in Oregon are messing with civil war
I’m talking about Ammon Bundy and his yahoo bunch.
Here’s why what they are doing is foolish and unjustified. This is not their fight, the Hammonds don’t want help, and there is no imminent threat of death or injury. The situation is entirely of their own creation. While you can argue about unfair sentencing, the legal process, and constitutionality of laws, you have to do it whilst obeying the Rule of Law. Otherwise, you violate the very thing you purport to defend.
I say they are messing with civil war, because they have families there with them. Women and children. If Fedgov decides t0 take their building back, it will be military ROEs, and they all die — google “Ruby Ridge” and “Waco Siege”. There are many MANY patriots who, while not supportive of the actions of the Bundy crew, nevertheless would respond in some way were they slaughtered.
The best overall coverage on this is at Oath Keepers.

Characterisation of human recombinant somatostatin receptors. 1. Radioligand binding studies.
Author information
Nervous System Research, Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland.
Human somatostatin receptor subtypes 1-5 (sst1-5) were characterised using the agonist radioligands [125I]LTT-SRIF28, [125I][Tyr10]CST14, [125I]CGP 23996 and [125I][Tyr3]octreotide in stably transfected Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (CCL39 cells). The radioligands used labelled saturable and high-affinity populations of sites in each instance; at sst1-4 receptors maximum binding (Bmax) was roughly equivalent. By contrast, at sst5 receptors Bmax determined with [125I]CGP 23996 and [125I][Tyr3]octreotide was significantly lower (two-and eightfold) compared with [125I]LTT-SRIF28 and [125I][Tyr10]CST14. Experiments were performed with the stable GTP-analogue guanylylimidodiphosphate (GppNHp) to establish guanine nucleotide sensitivity of agonist binding to sst1-5 receptors. The sensitivity towards GppNHp was quite variable depending on receptor and/or ligand. At sst1 and sst4 receptors, GppNHp produced little effect overall, whereas binding to sst3 and sst2 receptors was reduced by 70 and >80%, respectively. At sst5 receptors, the binding of [125I]LTT-SRIF28 and [125I][Tyr10]CST14 was only slightly affected by GppNHp, while [125I]CGP 23996 and [125I][Tyr3]octreotide binding was almost entirely inhibited. Thus, [125I][Tyr3]octreotide labelled about 26-fold less sst5 receptors than [125I]LTT-SRIF28, in the presence of 10 microM GppNHp. These discrepancies in guanine nucleotide sensitivity, were confirmed in GppNHp competition experiments. Competition studies were performed at the five receptors labelled with the different radioligands to establish their respective pharmacological profiles: the rank order of affinity was largely radioligand-independent at sst1-4 receptors, in contrast to sst5 receptors where it was radioligand-dependent. Thus, the pharmacological profile of [125I]LTT-SRIF28- and [125I][Tyr10]CST14-labelled sst5 sites correlated highly significantly, but did not correlate with the affinity profiles defined with [125I]CGP 23996 and [125I][Tyr3]octreotide binding to sst5 receptors. Depending on the agonist radioligand used and the receptor studied, it would appear that binding can be essentially to a guanine nucleotide-sensitive state (e.g. sst2 or sst3), a guanine nucleotide-insensitive state (sst1 or sst4) or a mixture of both (sst5); in the latter case, each radioligand defining a more or less different rank order of affinity at the same receptor. In summary, the differences in agonist receptor binding and guanine nucleotide sensitivity cannot be explained by the ternary complex model or its variations, but rather suggest the existence of multiple agonist-specific receptor states which vary from one receptor to another.

Confused about Lasting Power of Attorney? Here are some of the most common pitfalls and questions…
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which lets you appoint someone (or multiple people) who you trust to act on your behalf in different areas of your life.
What’s a LPA got to do with dementia?
A Power of Attorney is important for people with dementia because it’s highly likely that someone with the condition will eventually lose the ability to make decisions for themselves, although the time it takes to reach this point will vary from person to person.
Who should make a LPA?
Anyone over the age of 18 can have a LPA, although most people tend not to think about it until they’re older. However, it’s often wise to set up an LPA whatever your age. It’s also a good idea for people in potentially dangerous jobs that might cause them to lose mental capacity (such as firefighters and construction workers), to have an LPA ready, just in case they have an accident at work that leaves them incapacitated (for example, in a coma) and need people to make decisions for them.
Find out about our free LPA service
Can a married couple have a joint LPA?
No. LPAs are personal so you will need to set up your own LPA. However, they can be set up at the same time, and by the same solicitor.
What are the different types of LPA?
Property and Financial Affairs LPA
As the name suggests, this type of LPA gives someone the authority to manage your property and money. This could include bank or building society accounts, bills, collecting a pension or benefits and even selling your home.
Health and Welfare LPA
This covers areas surrounding your health and wellbeing, including decisions around your daily care (washing, dressing, eating), medical care and treatment or whether it’s time to move into a care home. It’s sometimes called a Personal Welfare LPA.
How do you make a LPA?
You can choose to make a LPA either with or without a solicitor. Many people choose to use a professional to make sure that everything is filled out correctly, but it’s not a requirement. You can download all the forms for each of the types of LPA online and then fill out and post back to the Office of the Public Guardian.
You can also create a Lasting Power of Attorney with help from Unforgettable.
Who should you pick as an attorney on a LPA?
The attorneys need to be over 18 and not subject to a debt relief order or declared bankrupt. Other than that, it’s up to you. However, you should pick someone who knows you well, is organised and interested in ensuring that your wishes are met, and most importantly, someone who can be trusted. Many people pick their spouse, children or siblings, but you can also pick a professional such as a solicitor or doctor.
How many attorneys can you appoint?
There’s no limit to the number of attorneys you can appoint on a Lasting Power of Attorney. Some people only have one, others have more, but the normal number is three or four.
Can a person refuse to act as an Attorney?
Yes, although it would be better to do this before the LPA is signed and registered. Once it is registered, if the person refuses to act as an Attorney, it is known as ‘revoking’ or ‘disclaiming’ an attorneyship. If the LPA is registered and the attorneys must act jointly (ie all together for all decisions), revoking the attorneyship will invalidate the LPA and a new will have to be made (unless there are replacement attorneys ready to step up). If the attorneys act severally or jointly and severally, then the remaining attorneys can continue to act even if one of them revokes their attorneyship.
What if an attorney dies?
This is similar to the above, that is, if there are replacement attorneys, they can step up to take the place of the attorney who has died. If the attorneys can only act jointly, and there are no replacement attorneys, the LPA will end. A new one can be made if the donor still has mental capacity. If they don’t, a deputyship will need to be set up through the Court of Protection. If you are a replacement attorney and need to step up to be an attorney, you should let the Office of the Public Guardian know that you are now acting as an attorney so the LPA can be updated. You will not be able to act as attorney until this is done.
Can another attorney be added after the LPA has been registered?
No. The only way an attorney could be added is if a new LPA is made and registered, and this can only be done if the donor still has the mental capacity to do so. If this happens, you will need to pay the full fee for the new LPA.
If the LPA is no longer valid can the donor make another?
Only if they still have mental capacity. If they have lost mental capacity since the first LPA was made, they will not be able to make another, and a Deputyship or Guardianship will have to be set up instead.
How much is an LPA?
The price varies depending on whether you are setting one up in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. In England and Wales, the applications cost £82 to register, and if you get both types it costs £164. In Scotland it costs £75 and in Northern Ireland it’s £127.
Do you need to use a solicitor to fill out a LPA?
No, but many people do, especially if they have complicated assets, or want to ensure that any restrictions or conditions don’t invalidate the LPA.
Unforgettable has a range of competitively priced packages to suit everyone.
How long does it take to register an LPA?
This can vary, but generally it takes around eight weeks altogether but can take as long as 10 weeks and sometimes even longer. This also allows for the time needed to allow for the notification of those in the ‘people to be notified’ section. It’s why it’s so important that you don’t delay when submitting the forms.
Can you cancel a Lasting Power of Attorney?
You can cancel an LPA if you’re the donor at any point, so long as you have mental capacity. If the LPA is registered, you will need to write a Deed of Revocation, which essentially revokes the original agreement. Like the original LPA, it will need to be signed, dated and witnessed, and then sent off to the Office of the Public Guardian. You should also alert all of your named attorneys that you are cancelling the LPA.
What happens if there is no LPA registered?
If, for whatever reason, the donor does not manage to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney or does not already have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place, and you need to start managing their finances, property or personal welfare because they have lost mental capacity, you will need to apply to become a Deputy. Deputyship is a decidedly more expensive, long-winded and involved process than a Lasting Power of Attorney.

Tahoe Avalanche by Todd Borg
Owen McKenna, a former police officer-turned private investigator, is approached by the uncle of an avalanche victim to investigate his nephew's death. Why? What's there to investigate? Who ever heard of suicide or murder by avalanche?
The uncle insists and has the money and the anguish to convince McKenna to take the case. Before long, avalanches in the region have become epidemic and the bodies start piling up. At first the "leads" lead nowhere.
As McKenna asks questions and pokes into the lives of the nephew's friends, more layers of mystery emerge, but still no connection between them. McKenna's nagging question remains: Why use an avalanche to kill people? He learns the modus operandi, with the help of expert friends, but the who and why remain unknown until the end.
In Avalanche, the sixth book in Borg's Tahoe series, we have a dysfunctional family, eccentric characters, rescue dogs and seemingly man-made avalanches. Borg's clues are subtle and red herrings abound. He keeps the reader guessing right to the surprising denouement. The mystery is a given, but the requisite suspense to pronounce Avalanche a "thriller" was somewhat lacking. There were scenes in which his life was threatened, but the necessary tension was absent.
The characters are colorful with behaviors and circumstances that make them each a mystery in themselves. If you're a dog lover, you'll appreciate the antics and training of McKenna's Great Dane, Spot. Although I can't speak from the viewpoint of an avid mystery reader it seemed that the dialog was, at times, cheesy and overdone. I suspect that cheesy one-liners are a trademark of the genre, but it still may make you let out an occasional groan. But still, I liked the Lake Tahoe setting and the mystery. It kept me guessing.

air-to-air refueling
Back in my day, literally before the internet came to our town,1 we entertained ourselves by playing outdoor games with our neighborhood friends. And by "outdoor games" I mean we played Nintendo at Scott's2 house because he had one and we didn't and his parents weren't strict tyrannical nazis, and by "strict tyrannical nazis" I mean they let him do whatever he wanted3 and our mom made us do our homework when she could remember our names.
This wasn't your grandpa's Nintendo. This was more your great-grandpa's Nintendo. There were approximately four colors and three of them were faded red. Mario and Luigi were more gigantic floating gumballs than they were plumbers in a love triangle. The best game on this machine, however, was Top Gun.
That's because Top Gun was a famous movie with Tom Cruise, and this was back in the day when people were naive enough to think that a cool movie translated into a cool game. Never mind that we had never seen Top Gun,4 just the idea of it in a game made us feel old and wise in the ways of the world, and for a brief few moments we were rough-and-tumble F-14 fighter pilots instead of totally clueless kids from suburban Utah where the most worldly thing within five hundred miles was a Catholic church instead of a Mormon one.
And I literally mean a brief moment because none of us ever passed level two, which was the air-to-air refueling maneuver. This is where you pilot a big black box, and try to line up a target with an unspecified point on another big black box until you crash and then Scott takes back over and you have to go home to re-tape your glasses and practice your seventeen instruments for three hours a piece.
However, not all is lost.
Because not all air-to-air refueling techniques involve fictional black boxes. Some involve a fussy hungry child who doesn't quite understand that eating something equates to satiation. This morning as I made the airplane sounds and brought in the refueler to the entrypoint, there was split second when the turbulence in the two vehicles subsided, the warning alarms died down, and working with a very small moving platform, I deftly deposited the fuel payload, and completed the second mission.
Many years have passed; the Nintendo is long gone, and the chemicals have long since leached out of the dump into our water supply, but for a brief moment this morning, I was the Top Gun.
1. I may have made this up, but I distinctly remember reading a headline in the local paper, "World Wide Web Comes to Utah" as a child.
2. Names have been changed mainly due to memory loss.
3. I'm told he was addicted to marijuana by the age of seventeen, but I wouldn't really trust any information from the pre-internet era.
4.

The ClassAd language consists of two parts: structured data (called “ClassAds”), and expressions.
HTCondor uses ClassAds to describe various things, primarily machines and jobs; it uses expressions as constraints for querying ClassAds, and for defining what it means for two ClassAds to match each other.
Data Syntax
A ClassAd is a list of attribute-value pairs, separated by newlines. Values may be booleans, integers, reals, strings, dictionaries, lists, or the special values UNDEFINED and ERROR. Dictionaries are marked by square brackets and lists by braces; dictionaries separate elements with semicolons, and lists separate elements with commas.
attribute_name = "attribute-value"
pi = 3.141
count = 3
list = { "red", "green", "blue" }
dictionary = [ type = "complex"; real = 7.75; imaginary = -3 ]
structured_attr = [ hostnames = { "submit-1", "submit", "submit1" };
ip = ""; port = "9618" ]
For the list of ClassAd attributes generated by HTCondor, see
Expression Syntax
An expression consists of literals (from the data syntax) and attribute references composed with operators and functions. The value of a ClassAd attribute may be an expression.
MY.count < 10 && regexp( ".*example.*", attribute_name )
Attribute References
An attribute reference always includes an attribute name. In HTCondor, when determining if two ClassAds match, an expression may specify which ad’s value is used by prefixing it with MY. or TARGET.. Attribute references are case-insensitive.
An element of a dictionary is referenced by using the subscript operator ([]) with an expression that evaluates to a string or with a dot (.), as follows:
Note that the following references the attribute named by the attribute hostnames, not the attribute named hostnames:
List elements are referenced by an expression that evaluates to an integer, where the first element in the list is numbered 0. For example, if colors = { [ x = "1" ], [ x = "2", y = "3" ] }, then MY.structure_attr.colors[0] results in [ x = "1" ].
The ClassAd language includes two special values, UNDEFINED and ERROR. An attribute may be set to either explicitly, but these values typically result from referring to an attribute that doesn’t exist, or asking for something impossible:
undefined_reference = MY.undefined_attribute
explicitly_undefined = UNDEFINED
one_error_value = "three" * 7
another_error_value = 1.3 / 0
Most expressions that refer to values that are UNDEFINED will evaluate to UNDEFINED. The same applies to ERROR.
The operators *, /, + and - operate arithmetically, on integers and reals.
The comparison operators ==, !=, <=, <, >= and > operate on booleans, integers, reals and strings. String comparison is case-insensitive. Comparing a string and a non-string value results in ERROR.
The special comparison operator =?= is like == except in the following two ways: it is case-sensitive when comparing strings; and, when comparing values to UNDEFINED, results in FALSE instead of UNDEFINED. (If comparing UNDEFINED to itself, the operator =?= results in TRUE).
The special comparison operator =!= is the negation of =?=.
The logical operators && and || operate on integers and reals; non-zero is true, and zero is false.
The ternary operator x ? y : z operates on expressions.
The default operator x ?: z returns x if x is defined and z otherwise.
The IS and ISNT operators are synonyms for =?= and =!=.
Function name are case-insensitive. Unless otherwise noted, if any of a function’s arguments are UNDEFINED or ERROR, so is the result. If an argument’s type is noted, the function will return ERROR unless the argument has that type.
integer INT( expr )
If expr is numeric, return the closest integer. If expr evaluates to a string, attempt to convert the string to an integer. Return ERROR if the string is not an integer, or if expr is neither numeric nor a string.
boolean MEMBER( expr, list l )
Returns TRUE if expr is equal, as defined by the operator ==, to any member of the list l, or FALSE if it isn’t.
boolean REGEXP( string pattern, string target[, string options] )
Return TRUE if the PCRE regular expression pattern matches target, or FALSE if it doesn’t. Return ERROR if pattern is a not a valid regular expression. If specified, options is a PCRE option string (one or more of f, i, s, m, and g). See the Specification section for details.
list SPLIT( string s[, string tokens ] )
Separate s by whitespace or comma, or instead by any of the characters in tokens, if specified, and return the result as a list of strings.
boolean STRINGLISTIMEMBER( string s, string list[, string tokens] )
Equivalent to MEMBER( *s*, SPLIT( *list*, *tokens* )).
string SUBSTR( string s, integer offset[, integer length] )
Returns the substring of s from offset to the end of the string, or instead for length characters, if specified. The first character in s is at position 0. If offset is negative, the substring begins offset characters before the end of the string. If length is negative, the substring ends that many characters before the end of the string. If the substring contains no characters, return the empty string. Thus, the following two calls both return the string “78”:
substr( "0123456789", 7, 2 )
substr( "0123456789", -3, -1 )
All ClassAd functions are defined in the references below.
Reserved Words
The words UNDEFINED, ERROR, IS, ISNT, TRUE, FALSE, MY, TARGET, and PARENT may not be used as attribute names.
Testing ClassAd Expressions
If your pool has machines in it, you can use condor_status to evaluate a ClassAd expression on the command-line. For instance, if you can’t remember which kind of regular expressions the regexp() function uses, you could check in the following way (on Linux):
condor_status -limit 1 -af 'regexp( "*tr*", "string" )'
condor_status -limit 1 -af 'regexp( ".*tr.*", "string" )'
This will print out false and then true; if you have no machines in your pool, it will print nothing. (For each ad condor_status fetches, it evaluates the expression(s) passed to -af and prints the result; the -limit 1 ensures that this is at most 1 ad.)
These examples assume a Linux shell environment.
Selecting a Slot based on Job ID
If job 288.7 is running:
condor_status -const 'JobId == "288.7"'
Only Run on a Particular Machine
If you want your job to run only on a particular machine named ‘special’, add the following to your submit file’s requirements line:
Machine == "special"
String Manipulation
In this example, an administrator has just added twelve new hosts to the pool – compute-296 to compute-307 – and wants to see if they’ve started running jobs yet.
condor_status -const '296 <= int(substr( Machine, 8 )) &&
int(substr( Machine, 8 )) <= 307'
You could also write this as follows:
condor_status -const '296 <= int(split(Machine, "-")[1]) &&
int(split(Machine, "-")[1]) <= 307'
Selecting Machines with a Particular File-Transfer Plugin
If you’re considering using the gdrive file-transfer plugin, and you’d like to see which machines have it, select from the slot ads based on the corresponding attribute, but only print out the machine name, and then throw away the duplicates:
condor_status -af Machine \
-const 'StringListIMember( "gdrive", HasFileTransferPluginMethods )' \
| uniq
You could instead use a constraint to ignore dynamic slots for a report on the resources available to run jobs which require the gdrive plugin. Note that you can also use expressions when formatting the output. In this case, it’s just to make the output prettier.
condor_status -af Machine CPUs Memory Disk \
'(GPUs =!= undefined && GPUs >= 1) ? CUDACapability : "[no GPUs]"' \
-const 'SlotType =!= "Dynamic" &&
StringListIMember( "gdrive", HasFileTransferPluginMethods )'

The Penny Press Machine: A History
As the hot weather settles in, some summer visitors roll into town. No, we’re not talking about mosquitoes here. Over night, a local park or large parking lot is instantly transformed. The fair has arrived. Stuffed animals are won, elephant ears are eaten, and rides do their best to unsettle those elephant ears.
Another common attraction of the fair was first introduced at one of our country’s most historical fairs: Chicago’s World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. The festival introduced many firsts to the world. Some of these include:
• The Ferris Wheel
• Picture Postcards
• Juicy Fruit gum
• The clasp locker (precursor to the zipper)
As notable as these firsts are, to us coin enthusiasts out there, another first was much more exciting: the Elongated Coin.
The elongated coin, or pressed penny, has been a popular attraction for wide-eyed kids ever since its introduction. As with the very first pressed penny, these smushed coins have been collected as souvenirs and used to commemorate events for over a century.
The Beginning
While we know that the elongated coin was first introduced at the World’s Columbian Exposition, scholars have no idea who the inventor of the machine is. It remains a mystery, perhaps forever.
Perhaps you tried a penny on the train tracks as a kid. The machine, or penny press, operates much in the same way as a train does across its tracks. The force of the train smashes the penny to the point of “plastic deformation” and leaves it flat and stretched from a circle to an oval.
The first penny press machine was a jewelry mill that was then altered to leave an engraving on the penny. Jewelry mills, while usually used to flatten gold, proved the perfect coin elongating devices. Souvenir collectors could take a break from dancing to their favorite ragtime music to watch the penny press operator drop a penny in, turn a hand crank, and result in an elongated coin with a “Columbian Exposition 1893″ engraving.
Why Pennies?
There are several reasons pennies are the coin most often chosen to be flattened and stretched out. Perhaps the biggest reason is the fact that pennies are worth one cent while nickels are worth five cents and so on and so forth. Once that coin is run through the penny press, it’s no longer an accepted form of money. It has become something different.
Another reason pennies are more popular than the other types of coins is its makeup. As the metals used to make pennies result in a darker coin, the darker shade of a penny allows the engraving to be move easily seen. In fact, the older and mored tarnished the penny, the better your souvenir will turn out.
While we may prefer to use our pennies in the U.S., Canadians are technically supposed to used blank “slugs” in their penny press machines. This is because it is illegal to mutilate Canadian coins in Canada.
Today, penny press machines are typically automated and not turned by a hand crank, though a few are still around. They are also as popular as ever. There are so many varieties of elongated coins with so many different possible engravings on all the different coins that collecting them all is nearly impossible. Collectors tend to be specialists, only collect early elongated coins or ones that commemorate certain kinds of events.
Next time you’re at the fair, make sure you stop by the penny press machine. They are unique pieces of Americana that have been producing cherished souvenirs for over 100 years.

adventures of a college girl out to change the world
Menu
Category Archives: Uncategorized
Today, at work, I asked for a promotion. I’ve been at my job for 3 months, as of this last week, and there are plenty of other people who could be ahead of me for this position. So, why is my manage considering me instead of someone else? Oh right, I went up and asked for it. Not going to lie, it was probably one of the most terrifying things for me to do considering some of the bosses I’ve had in the past, and people getting promotions or special treatment over me even if I was the one that deserved the break. However, my philosophy has always been to work hard and eventually, no matter how much it sucks at the time, it will pay off. I’m hoping that this is the case now. If I get this job finding a second job this summer will be ten times easier because my hours will pretty much be set. I could either aim for 2 full time jobs or 1 full time and 1 part time job. Over the summer, as much as it’ll suck not having a social life, I could probably do a job where I have doubles on the weekend and maybe one or two nights a week from May to August.
If I had 1 full and 1 part time job over the summer, and worked 25 hours at the part time for minimum wage I’d make enough in a month to cover my rent, electricity, groceries, gas and necessities. That would allow me to put everything from my full time job towards my $10,000 I currently owe Drexel. Over the course of the summer (approximately 3 months) I’d be able to pay off almost half of it, and if I got my stuff together for the garage/craigslist/ebay sales at dad’s and mom’s I could potentially make another $500-$2,000 which would put me well on my way to getting it completely paid off. This isn’t counting if my lawyer can find a way around the road block we ran into for my settlement. Maybe, I can make a deal with my parents that If I put $3,700 towards my Drexel debt this summer that they could match me with about 25% and put $900 each towards my Drexel debt. It’d put me at over half way towards paying it off. That’s definitely something I think I could be happy with. So, maybe I’ll talk to them about it soon. If anything maybe I could get them to do $650 each which would put me at $5,000 even for the summer. Maybe. We will have to see. I’d feel a lot better about it though if I could get it over half way paid for before the end of the summer.
Essentially, the thing I’m concerned about most right now is paying off my college debt because I’m not the kind of person who likes to be in debt. I’m a very stubborn and headstrong person and I don’t like relying on others. I tend to support myself and hate being given/handed things I feel I haven’t earned. However, recently I’ve been considering getting food stamps to make my life a little easier and save myself some money each month that I could put towards paying Drexel. If I could even put an extra $100 towards that debt every month I’d have an extra $600 paid off by the end of Spring semester. Definitely something I need to look into. Am I crazy for having to have all of this worked out? Maybe. However, I don’t want to have to worry about being in debt the rest of my life. I want to be able to put my income towards other sources like a family, vacations, my children’s future, etc… Wow, I sound completely insane right now. I better go to bed. Thoughts at 1am can lead to infinite wonderings.
The main basis for Occupy Wallstreet was that 1% of America held 90% of the wealth. The main complaint was that the 1% will do anything to keep their money away from the 99%. The 99% are everyday working people, who don’t necessarily live like a celebrity, but can live semi-comfortably, even if it isn’t always easy. If you think about it. We really are part of the 1%… America is part of the 1% of the world that has 90% of the wealth, and most Americans will do anything to keep their wealth away from the rest of the world. Before we go getting mad about our situations maybe we should be thankful for the fact that we have clean water, a roof over our heads and food to eat.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds like perfect running weather to me!
I haven’t even started unpacking, and I’m itching to go out and run. I haven’t been super consistent with my running since I picked it back up, but everyday I get more and more into it. I’m getting back to where I don’t want to go a day without running, and I’m totally fine with that. I missed running, and getting out of the habit really makes it hard to get back in the groove of things.
I’ve never been the kind of person that likes the cold weather, let alone running outside when it’s cold out. It just kind of came out of nowhere. Oh well! Off to run! Then go see daddy ❤

I love college.
I love being independent.
I love working towards becoming independent.
I love being so far from home.
I love the city.
I love my new friends.
I love this new challenge.
BUT…..
There’s nothing like coming home.
I missed my family, especially at Thanksgiving.
I missed my dog.
I missed my bed, one that doesn’t squeak and make loud noises and always has a nice warm dog.
I missed driving my car.
I missed having my mom make breakfast for me in the morning.
I missed my friends.
I’ve always loved flying, and yesterday was no different. Actually, scratch that, it was different. There was a huge sense of excitement in me because I was finally getting to come home after being homesick for a little over a month. When I got off the plane in Iowa I was literally shaking in anticipation.
My homesick kind of caught me off guard because I’ve always been really independent, and leaving home to go to school so far away really didn’t seem like a big deal to me. After thinking about it though, I’m pretty sure I know the reason. Losing my grandmother last fall was really hard, on all of us. It caused some rifts, some fights, and some of us to grow closer together. I think it was just the fact that I left so soon after that made it so hard.
Holidays have always been big in my family, we’ve always made them big affairs. Not only was this my first Thanksgiving away from home, but it was also my first Thanksgiving without grandma. Thanksgiving just wasn’t the same. I had a great time meeting all of Ryan’s friends, and his family was very welcoming, but it just felt off to me.
I’m so glad to be home for Christmas and New Years. I missed my friends, and am so excited to finally see them this month!
So, my first week of college is almost over… Like, in 2 hours it will be officially over. All I have left is English at 4, and then it’s officially the weekend. The last two weeks have been hella crazy, but at the same time they’ve probably also been the best two weeks of my life. I’ve met some great people, had some awesome adventures and I’m in college for god’s sake!
So, my great people….
The GBF
This is Ryan, he’s my GBF, I have succeeded in making him a Gleek. We spent 7 hours in his bed yesterday watching Glee and talking. Today, it was raining like a mo-fo, and we went puddle jumping (hence the crazy soaked hair and clothing). So yeah, we are pretty close.
Gattozzi is the one sitting next to me. We’ve had some pretty awesome adventures, and just in the first week. The other night we wandered around Philly until like 2 in the morning and sang disney songs. It was great!
Classes have been good, some of them have been mostly review, which I’m totally okay with, because I really need some review…
I don’t really feel like talking about classes yet, they’re kind of not really anything good though. I mean, they’re classes, but I haven’t really had a chance to really get into them yet. My UNIV 101 class was probably the best, everyone in there, but one are environmental science majors. I DON’T FEEL SO ALONE ANYMORE!!!!!!!
So yeah, back to the rain today… It was really warm, so we jumped in puddles and such. I got sooo soaked, and my glasses fell out of my bag, and kinda sorta got into a fight with a car and the car won…. I won’t get contacts until late next week… So yeah, until further notice I’m semi-blind.
I have to now get to class, I’ll hopefully have a better update soon. Toodles!

This video makes a lot of valid points. Watching it brought me back to a conversation I had 2 years ago with the new associate principal at Boone High. We were supposed to be interviewing him on something for the school paper, and we got soooo off topic. First in the obesity epidemic in America and what causes it, then to how our education system is stuck in the 1900s production line education that is no longer working. Sure, some people test high in their standardized testing, but as this video shows, interest in school has gone down in correspondence to the increase of standardized testing.
I could not agree more with the point made here, there needs to be major changes in the education system if people want to avoid total failure, and creativity is almost totally extinct. There are a few students who survive the monotony, and even those ‘artsy’ students are now becoming very mainstream. No one thinks outside the box anymore, everyone’s done something someone has already done. Honestly, where is the fun in that?
Personally, I LOVE the thrill of creating something new and knowing it’s mine. Sometimes my best work comes out of a crazy jumbled mess, there’s plenty of order in chaos, you just have to know how to look at it. In the words of Robin Williams in the movie Dead Poets Society, “We must constantly look at the world from a different point of view,” or something along those lines. It is in fact sooo true, why would you want to look at something the same every time? There are no new ideas created that way. If you look at a picture of a scribble and all you see is a scribble, then there’s nothing special about it. If you look at a picture of a scribble and see an idea, that’s when your creativity blooms.
Creativity and change are two things that need to hit the education system hard. Not only that, while a degree is a very good thing to get, you are no longer guaranteed a job with one. This is why so many people are asking, “Why get a degree then, if I’m not guaranteed a job?” Good question. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'a1cc3ef54af50223c39fcc9e8414f688e32a2a210175376e2103981435c3ff82'} |
No. 1 Alabama will play No
Toby Graves
Декабря 5, 2016
So does that mean every answer was a wrong one? That makes the conference-champion mandate impossible.
The big question surrounded the No. 4 spot, where Washington edged out No. 5 Penn State and No. 6 MI. The Horned Frogs were ranked No. 3 by the committee through Week 15, then won their regular-season finale over Iowa State 55-3 but slid all the way to No. 6 in the rankings the following week.
But, as ESPN's David Pollack correctly noted, there are five "power conferences", a specious term because it includes such powers as Purdue and Kansas, and only four CFP spots. Penn State played Pitt, Temple and Kent State in the conference and lost to the Panthers.
The Nittany Lions, on a nine-game winning streak after their comeback win against Wisconsin, are tasked with a team that's on a similar roll.
Ohio State, which lost the Big Ten East tiebreaker to Penn State and was off this weekend, became the first team to reach the playoff in its three-year history without winning its conference.
Commence debate - the pairings are in, and Penn State and MI are out. SEC Champion Alabama is, of course, still at No. 1 in every poll, as they had been all season.
Ohio State didn't play in the Big Ten title, but won 11 games and knocked off Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Nebraska and MI. Those are two sterling wins on any resume. Penn State lost to MI by 39 points and also dropped an early-season game to Pittsburgh.

FAMILIAR PROBLEM: USC is 24-9 in the Rose Bowl game since making its first appearance in 1923, earning a 14-3 win over Penn State in the ninth Rose Bowl game ever played. Ohio State won the national championship in 2015.
Alabama is going to chase more than a national championship in the College Football Playoff. "Bottom line, you have to do what's necessary to get into top four".
They routed Colorado 41-10 for the Pac-12 championship. Clemson is still without a top-10 win this season.
Obviously, the committee agreed, not moving the Buckeyes down in anticipation of a team that would not have a chance to play a 13th game. Just as we do when the NCAA Tournament brackets are released, we can argue about who should of been there and what the committee felt was more important when selecting the teams but it will be just as futile.
But here's where the committee seemed to draw the line. One loss they were not competitive in that particular game.
So the key is to play a hard nonconference schedule? Its members broke the 2-year-old CFP mold when it needed to, but maintained the one dynamic that has to be central to their deliberations: pick the four best teams. That can be argued. Ohio State's only loss was on the road against Penn State due to a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. This has been an incredible run and winning the Big Ten championship should be celebrated wildly. One of those schools will go the New Year's Day Six. There hadn't been all that much to cheer for when the Buckeyes were trailing, allowing the Ohio State fans and players to save up for the celebration and unleash it all at once.

Childhood medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma accounts for 15-20% of childhood nervous system tumours. The risk of dying was reduced by 30% in the last twenty years. Patients are divided in risk strata according to post-surgical disease, dissemination, histology and some molecular features such as WNT subgroup and MYC status. Sixty to 70% of patients older than 3 years are assigned to the average-risk group. High-risk patients include those with disseminated and/or residual disease, large cell and/or anaplastic histotypes, MYC genes amplification. Current and currently planned clinical trials will: (1) evaluate the feasibility of reducing both the dose of craniospinal irradiation and the volume of the posterior fossa radiotherapy (RT) for those patients at low biologic risk, commonly identified as those having a medulloblastoma of the WNT subgroup; (2) determine whether intensification of chemotherapy (CT) or irradiation can improve outcome in patients with high-risk disease; (3) find target therapies allowing tailored therapies especially for relapsing patients and those with higher biological risk. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '5d596126e2a9653f5c6199a0b2f49d9354c64eb161af697382e39f2760ccfcd9'} |
Decalin Dehydrogenation for In-Situ Hydrogen Production to Increase Catalytic Cracking Rate of n-Dodecane
Date of Award
Degree Name

Advisor: Matthew DeWitt
Catalytic cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons is a widely utilized industrial process, but catalyst deactivation over time requires regeneration or replacement of the catalyst bed. A gaseous hydrogen co-feed can be used to promote hydrocracking and decrease deactivation of the catalyst due to coke formation or active site poisoning. One potential alternative approach to extend the lifetime of a cracking catalyst is to generate molecular hydrogen in-situ via catalytic dehydrogenation of a cycloparaffin. In this effort, studies were performed using model compounds to investigate the impact of catalyst configuration and operating conditions on overall performance. For the purpose of this testing, decalin was selected as a model cycloparaffin, with n-dodecane used as a model n-paraffin compound. A blended cycloparaffin/n-paraffin feed was studied in a dual catalyst flow reactor system, containing both a dehydrogenation and cracking catalyst. Testing was performed with either the dehydrogenation catalyst upstream or with the two catalysts physical mixed. Products and reactant conversion rates from these studies were compared to those from a baseline n-paraffin cracking study, with no cycloparaffin or dehydrogenation catalyst present.Several commercially available Zeolite catalysts were initially screened for n-dodecane cracking activity to identify an appropriate cracking catalyst for further study. A Zeolite Y catalyst provided adequate n-dodecane reactivity for observation of reactor configuration impact. Prior to the dual-bed and mixed-bed studies, a synthesized Pt/Al2O3 dehydrogenation catalyst was studied independently with neat decalin feed as well as a blended decalin/n-dodecane feed, for the purpose of determining appropriate reactor conditions to be used in subsequent testing. Using the selected Zeolite Y catalyst, extended duration testing was performed at 400°C and 500 psig to characterize the activity and deactivation rate for n-dodecane cracking, to provide a baseline for subsequent comparison. Similar testing was performed with the Zeolite Y catalyst to investigate the impact of blending decalin or naphthalene with the normal paraffin.A dual-bed reactor configuration utilized the Pt/Al2O3 dehydrogenation catalyst in-line and upstream of the Zeolite Y catalyst, with a 1:1 volumetric blend of decalin/n-dodecane at 400°C and 500 psig. The dehydrogenation bed successfully promoted decalin dehydrogenation for generating in-situ molecular hydrogen. However, minimal initial n-dodecane conversion was observed, which was speculated to be due to strong adsorption of naphthalene dehydrogenation product onto the Zeolite Y catalyst, reducing the number of available active sites. After 240 minutes, n-dodecane conversion in the dual-bed reactor system was higher than the baseline, while decalin conversion was very high for the entire duration. In a mixed bed configuration, the two catalyst beds were physically mixed with identical testing conditions. This configuration was intended to reduce the absolute naphthalene concentration on the Zeolite Y catalyst and eliminate the inhibition which occurred in the dual bed configuration. The mixed bed configuration promoted higher initial conversion and lower deactivation rate compared to all other feed/reactor configurations. Overall, it was determined that catalytic dehydrogenation of a cycloparaffin can be successfully employed to increase conversion of a normal paraffin in a catalytic cracking reactor, although future work could further optimize catalyst selection/loading, reactor configuration, and reaction conditions.

Researchers
may have found a HIV
preventative gel, which contains an AIDS drug already on the
market, that could decrease a woman's chances of getting HIV in half.
It was announced at the International
AIDS Conference in Vienna, but further testing is required
to make sure the product is safe and effective.
AIDS
has claimed 25 million lives total, and 33 million more are infected
by HIV. Of this total, two-thirds are from sub-Saharan Africa. In
this area, 60 percent of new infections develop among women and young
females.
For
years, the only way to prevent
HIV infection was by the use of condoms and male
circumcision, since the foreskin contains cells that are "vulnerable
to penetration by HIV." But the latter only prevents HIV
infection in males.
The
study was led by Quarraisha Abdool Karim and Salim Abdool Karim from
the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa
(CAPRISA) in Durban. It consisted of almost 900 South African women
who were sexually active and between the ages of 18 and 40, where 444
received a placebo and 445 received the microbicide gel. It was
conducted in both the urban setting of Durban and the rural setting
of Pietermaritzburg in the KwaZulu-Natal province.
Over
a three year period, these women were asked to apply the gel, which
contains a mixture of antiretroviral drugs and a one percent
formulation of tenofovir that interrupts the reproduction of HIV
in immune cells, with a vaginal applicator within a 12 hour
window before intercourse and within a 12 hour window after
intercourse. They were then tested for HIV on a monthly basis. In
comparison to the placebo group, those who used the microbicide
reduced the risk of HIV by 39 percent overall. For those who used the
microbicide more often, as directed, 54 percent of the risk of HIV
was reduced.
"Without
this gel, we may see 10 women becoming infected in a year," said
Salim Abdool Karim. "With this gel, we would see only six women
becoming infected."
While
no major side effects were observed over the course of the study, the
gel did become less effective after 18 months of use, and researchers
are looking into finding out why. Right now, they believe it may be
due to the fact that 40 percent of the women "used the
microbicide less than one time out of two." Also, they will
continue testing the gel to make sure there are no long term side
effects that will exist beyond a three year period.
The study
has been published in the journal Science and
could prove to be a vital part of finding efficient, preventative
ways to avoid HIV infection everywhere.
