<p> Dairy farmers and livestock producers across the globe are turning to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist with farming. As technology improves, so will the applications for UAV technology, writes Rachel Lane.</p>
<p>UAV’s, commonly referred to as drones, can be used to assist farmers with grazing rotations, identify sick cattle, even stop cattle rustlers from stealing cattle, said Robert Blair, VP of agriculture for Measure, a UAV company focused on assisting farmers.“There are so many things we can do with this technology, we haven’t even scratched the surface,” he said.</p>
<p>Several years ago, the police asked for help to watch for cattle rustlers during inclement weather. The same technology can be used to check fence lines for damage, find lost cattle or identify a herd’s location when a farmer is ready to move the cattle to a different pasture.Using UAVs with thermal imaging, a cow in heat can be identified in a herd. The same technology — an increase in temperature — would allow a farmer to tell if a cow is sick, possibly preventing a disease from spreading to other cattle.Mr. Blair thinks the technology will advance enough that a device will be attached to the UAVs, fly over the cattle in the field, and spray pesticides or other pest-deterrents directly onto the herds.</p>
<p>With current technology, aerial images can help farmers with precision agriculture decisions involving grazing patterns and growth in fields. Mr. Blair said he first noticed the benefit in 2004 when he was flown over his fields for the first time.“I was able to see so many different things that I couldn’t see from the ground and it was absolutely amazing,” he said, but it was costly.In 2006, he realized he could buy a drone for the cost of two flights over his entire farm. After purchasing the drone, he spent the first year trying to learn to fly it, land it, and interpret what he was looking at in the images he collected.In 2007, he was able to use the data collected the previous year to figure out how to read the images, when he needed to make flights, and how to make changes needed to maximize his crop.</p>
<p>“It helps me understand what’s going on and to see issues that I would not have found,” Mr. Blair said.At one point, he realized the man on the fertilizer machine was turning it off and turning it on at the wrong times, trying to save money by limiting the use of fertilizer. He was losing about 20 bushels of wheat per acre of land, which translated into roughly $100 per acre. He was able to show the man the images and the man understood the issue.</p>
<p>Mr. Blair said the data can be hard to understand, which is why Measure has data specialists that work the data into maps and crop advisors, experts on crop nutrition and pesticides, to help make recommendations for the farmers. The farmer then uses the information, with his or her own knowledge, to determine the best course of action.Christine Su, founder and CEO of PastureMap, said her company uses similar images and data to form easily understood information for livestock producers.She started the company in 2014. The company tracks and records the information for the farmers.Over 1,000 ranchers in 10 countries use the data to track grazing records, grass growth, and invasive weeds. Enough data has been collected that the information can now be shared anonymously with other users, Ms. Su said.“We give them piece of mind that they’re keeping accurate records,” she said. And it saves the producer’s time figuring out what is working and what’s not.The imaging helps farmers learn which fields are growing faster and recovering faster after the cattle have grazed. In the future, farmers will be able to tell exactly how much grass is on the land, how many head of cattle can graze, and for how long a period of time, she said.“I think aerial imaging is an inevitable part of farming,” she said.</p>
<p>Ms. Su said her company has partnered with TerrAvion, using high-resolution images utilizing Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), color infrared and thermal filters.“Imagery helps you make the right calls, helps the manager cover more ground,” said Robert Morris, co-founder of TerrAvion. “It’s about making dairy farmers and ranchers more efficient.”Mr. Morris said there are seven operating locations, with multiple planes at each site. The planes produce images slightly better than the quality provided by Google maps, but weekly, allowing farmers to identify problems and react quickly to make improvements.“The fundamental problem in all of agriculture is there’s one dude and he has a lot of land,” Mr. Morris said. “You’ll spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to do next.”The planes view of the farms can help farmers make decisions to increase the biomass of each acre of land by managing crop rotations, and herbicide and pesticides use.Fred Zhang, vice president of range land, pasture land and federal lands at TerrAvion, said the data collected helps dairy farmers manage the grazing systems.</p>
<p>“You want to see the health of the (area) before the livestock graze and after,” he said. “Is the pasture healthy and is there enough of it to support the cattle?”The information helps farmers maximize the use of their pastures by identifying areas that need to be seeded at the beginning of the growing season, he said.As the season progresses, the images assist farmers in monitoring and tracking invasive species of plants, which can take away from the productive land a farmer can use for grazing.The information is delivered to a farmer digitally and accessible on a computer or a smartphone.“If you’re a rancher and you’re covering 5000 acres, you want to be able to pinpoint problems and follow up as quickly as possible,” Mr. Zhang said.Current laws in the U.S. limit flying of UAVs to line-of-sight, meaning the distance the UAV can fly in any direction is limited. A recent change in U.S. law does make it easier to fly a UAV more advanced than the basic toy drone.<br />Mr. Blair said a pilot’s license is no longer required, but a drone operator’s license is needed. And, rather than trying to schedule flights with flight control, it is possible to contact a regional airport to clear the flight.</p>
<p>“We call the regional airport manager. . . and say ‘We’d like to fly this location, at this time. We’ll be in contact with you on the radio the entire time,” Mr. Blair said. The operator receives permission for the flight and a call sign. During the flight, the operator is on the same radio channel as the pilots. He stressed the importance of knowing the local laws before anyone attempts a flight. “I don’t want to see anyone in agriculture getting into trouble, even if they are flying over their own land,” he said.</p>

Subject: Enovate loan facility
Enovate's bank account is already set up under the Enron global agreement
with Citibank.
The facility will be lent by ENE and People's. If People's does not fund its
half of enovate obligatiosns and an overdraft of the enovate Citibank account
occurs, ENE would eventually be liable for the overdraft amount to Citi
(Sam-please confirm.) If Enron would be liable under its gloabal account
agreement then Enron needs an indemnification/guarantee from People's in the
event that People's does not fund its half. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '24918b271d5112b6481825fb06c7cc22cac10a91695d77f7eb1279ac2ae1d434'} |

Neuro knitting
Some weeks ago, news about a neuro knitting idea went through the press and news websites.
While open to new ideas, I actually think this is rather narrow minded, so to say. Neuro scan for activity (if any) and then knitting it seems like a huge detour, not just because the fewest people will actually have a wearable, non-invasive EEG headset at home.
Think about it: what is more expressive: the lines your brain creates while you think, or the lines your brain and hand want to create while drawing a scarf design? Try designing a custom scarf by hand, not with your ears, your knee or the sound of your hungry stomach. No offense, but that’s my point.
Oh, but this pic from the neuroknit website is nice, but no easy-wearing.

Bible Commentary
He shall burn it with fire - This was a newly-added circumstance. Among many ancient nations they burned the bodies of the more illustrious dead. Odours were used in the burning: they then gathered the ashes, and put them into an urn or pitcher, sometimes into a strong vessel, and buried them. Many of these have been digged up in different parts of England, where the Romans had stations.

Introduction Given on the Night, Written by John Newland & Presented by Phil Ray
The 400 Blows, original French title, Les Quatre Cents Coups, is French film director Francois Truffaut’s first feature film. Truffaut is one of the major French and European Film Directors of the second half of the 20th Century and is one of that group of French film directors which emerged after the Second World War in what became known as the French New Wave. Amongst others in this group were Claude Chabrol, Jean Luc-Godard and Eric Rohmer.
These people had started off as Film Critics. There, in that role, they had argued the case for a personal cinema, that is, a cinema where the director is the creative driving force of a film, the one who gives it its artistic identity, rather than being merely a hired contractor working only with other peoples’ ideas and creations.
And by the end of the 1950s, these guys had moved on from writing about films to directing them. Truffaut’s first venture on to the big screen was in 1958 with his short film, Les Mistons. Made the next year, The 400 Blows was Truffaut’s first major film and was selected as an official French entry for that year’s Cannes Film Festival. There, it was very well received and Truffaut won the award for Best Director. The film became an enormous success all over the world and was the launching pad for his subsequent career. After The 400 Blows, Truffaut had a long and successful career for the next quarter-century. He made over 20 films and worked continuously as a director until his death in 1984.
In this film, The 400 Blows Truffaut zeroes in on the life of a 13 year-old, Antoine Doinel, played by a young Jean-Pierre Leaud. Antoine lives in a cramped apartment in Paris (not the fashionable bit) with his mother and stepfather. It’s not a happy relationship. His mother is resentful of a child she had not wanted, and is alternately loving and cruel. She is insensitive and uncaring of his needs. His stepfather will spend time with him but lacks patience. From this, it is not surprising that Antoine’s life is reasonably chaotic and dysfunctional and this is mirrored in his adventures and misadventures and in what happens to him.
This film was not just a single, one-off, focus into the territory of adolescence. Alongside and in addition to, the many other films he made, Truffaut continued to follow his protégé Antoine in the ups and downs of his life, for the next 20 years through 4 more films.
So, you might well say that not only is this film a beginning for the lead character on the screen, it’s also a beginning for the person behind the camera. Whatever nerve it touched in Truffaut – and clearly it did touch a nerve – it took him until 1979 to work it through – if indeed he ever did work it through.
Perhaps Film Directors are just like the rest of us, simply human.
Let’s watch the film and make our own judgement.

Full Answer
The medical community has been taught to cure the disease rather than putting emphasis on preventing it in the first place. According to the World Health Organization, taking steps to prevent a disease from developing in the first place may lead to earlier diagnoses, resulting in earlier treatment and potentially a better survival rate. Following a few guidelines will help a person write a persuasive paper on why prevention is better than cure.
1. State the thesis
2. The thesis for this paper is simply "Prevention is better than cure." The first paragraph is an introduction of the thesis.
3. Compile research
4. Spend time gathering research about the topic. Make notes, keeping them organized by source. The source will be noted in the paper as a reference.
5. Make an outline
6. An outline helps to organize the writer's thoughts and the content of the essay. Once the outline is written, use that guideline to draft the essay.
7. Edit the draft and write the final copy
8. Read through the essay draft and make any necessary changes. After all the changes have been made, rewrite the essay and include all applicable references for footnotes and the bibliography.

Fiber, particle and/or aggregate reinforced composites have found a broad utility in structures requiring high strength-to-weight ratios. Resin reinforced composites used in such products have usually been produced by forming a lay-up, e.g., layers or piles of particles, aggregates and/or unidirectional or multi-directional fabrics made of glass or graphite fibers, impregnated with resin and cured. This resin impregnation is generally done by either a wet lay-up or dry lay-up technique. In the wet layup process the reinforcement materials are pre-impregnated with a resin and curing catalyst and partially cured.
Such "prior composites" are positioned upon a forming tool or a mold surface which, in its simplest form may comprise a flat plate. In the dry lay-up method, the fiber reinforcement is laid up dry on a forming tool or a mold surface and the resin may be applied by conventional methods know to the art, e.g., brushing, spraying or coating, etc.
After lay-up is prepared, heat and pressure are applied. The heat cures the resin and the pressure compresses the layers, thereby preventing air and other gases, and volatiles, from forming voids within the composite as the resin cures. The curing process is generally carried out in an autoclave.
While monolithic structures formed of fiber reinforced-resin composites processed in the manner described above are satisfactory for some environments, for other environments, they have certain disadvantages. For example, in using the fibers pre-impregnated with resin, gases trapped between the layers when the resin is being cured form weakening voids in the resultant monolithic structure.
Another disadvantage with prior composites is the need to store such materials at low temperatures to prevent curing prior to use. Conventionally, pre-impregnated fiber reinforced layers. which are usually in the form of relatively wide tape or fabric on rolls prior to being laid up, are stored in a refrigerated environment. A further disadvantage is that, even at low temperatures, the resin will cure and-may become unstable and must be discarded.
The disadvantages in the dry lay-up process include the requirement of more resin and greater assembly times. The manner of resin application by brushing or spraying wastes resin and time by requiring the removal of excess resin before the curing process. Additionally, some manual smoothing may be necessary and the sticky resin makes it difficult not to avoid displacement of the reinforcement fibers, thereby adding to production delays.
Vacuum bags techniques are well known in the prior art and encompass both the dry lay-up and dry lay-up processes. After the reinforced fiber is laid up on a forming tool or mold surface, a flexible gas impervious sheet, liner or bag is used to form a sealed vacuum envelope over the lay-up, a heat curable or peroxide catalyzed resin is introduced into the envelope and a vacuum is drawn on the interior envelope space. The vacuum induces an internal collapse or pressure of the film envelope against the mold surface and forces the fiber mat or fabric to follow the mold pattern and pushes or pulls out voids. Thereafter, heat is applied to cure the resin.
The internal collapse of the vacuum envelope restricts the resin from freely flowing through the fiber mat or fabric which has a tendency to trap air or vapors between the vacuum film envelope and the composite structure so as to result in low reinforcing fiber-to-resin ratio and non-uniformity. This reduces production rates and increases production failures and costs.
Some of the presently known vacuum bag techniques avoid several of the above discussed problems by employing a breather fabric with a plastic film which is positioned between the dry lay-up and the inside of the vacuum bag and barrier materials to prevent resin from reaching and plugging the vacuum lines in the bag. The breather bag functions to prevent the outer bag from collapsing completely on the lay-up.
Another approach to preventing bag closure is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,902,215 to Seeman, which is incorporated herein by reference. Seeman relates to a resin distribution medium comprising spaced-apart plastic monofilaments which are non-resin absorptive and run in a criss-cross fashion and an open array of separated raised segments providing vertically oriented spaced-apart apart props or pillars to prevent closure between the inner face of the flexible sheet and the upper surface of the dry lay-up. The open pillar-like structure and lateral openings between these pillars provide channels for resin to flow over the entire distribution medium without an entrainment of air or volatiles. Both the breather fabric and the reusable resin distribution system of Seeman require additional expense in equipment and production time.
Another approach to improving vacuum bag resin transfer molding techniques involves an improved vacuum bag. U.S. Pat. No. 5,129,813 to Shepherd, also incorporated herein by reference, discloses a non-porous material having a three dimensional pattern defining a plurality of interconnected channels which partially collapses upon the evacuation of the vacuum bag and causes the three-dimensional pattern to relax into the locally flat two dimensional configuration with interconnecting channels. The completely evacuated vacuum bag is in direct contact with the entire surface of the lay-up and the interconnected channels provide free flow of resin and avoids entrapment of gas and volatiles pockets. The flexible film used in making the vacuum bag also can be reused.
In yet another alternative approach, U.S. Pat. No. 4,942,013, to Palmer et al, incorporated herein by reference, teaches a process and system for vacuum impregnation of a fiber reinforcement, such as carbon cloth, with a resin to produce a resin-fiber composite. Liquid resin enters into an arrangement or system comprising a fiber reinforcement layer uniformly across the width thereof and along the length of the fiber reinforcement layer. A fiber reinforcement layer is placed on a tool. A porous parting film is applied over the fiber reinforcement layer and a bleeder layer, such as polyester or nylon, is applied over the parting film. A non-porous film is placed over the bleeder layer, a breather cloth, such as fiberglass, is then applied over the non-porous film, and a vacuum bag is place over the entire assembly and sealed to the mold surface. Liquid resin is fed to the assembly within the vacuum bag. An assembly for spreading the resin receives the liquid resin and distributes it initially across the panel adjacent one end of the reinforcement layer after the vacuum has been applied to the assembly. The liquid resin is drawn through the bleeder cloth and through the fiber reinforcement layer from one end to the opposite end thereof to completely impregnate it. The resin catalyst system is designed so that it will commence to gel the resin when the liquid resin has completely impregnated the fiber reinforcement layer.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,132,755, to Johnson, also incorporated herein by reference, teaches another alternative technique for the manufacture of a composite article. A permeable reinforcing material, such as fiberglass, is deposited on a mold or on a structure to be reinforced. A preferably flexible sheet of perforated material is then placed over the reinforcing material, such that the marginal areas of this sheet are preferably sealed to the mold so as to define an outer chamber. The inner chamber is effectively connected to a vacuum source so as to draw the impervious sheet and along with it the perforated sheet, against the reinforcing material. The outer chamber is connected to a source of catalyzed resin so that the-resin is caused to flow from the outer chamber into the reinforcing material through the perforations of the sheet of perforated material. In this manner the material is substantially evenly impregnated with resin without escape of resin fumes into the surrounding atmosphere.
Perhaps most pertinent to the instant improvement, is U.S. Pat. No. 5,166,007, to Smith et al, also incorporated herein by reference. It teaches a patch or repair assembly. The assembly comprises at least one photo-curable pre-impregnated fabric, a UV (ultra-violet) transparent release film on top of the fabric and a UV blocking film over the release film. When applied to a work surface, the assembly forms a secondary wet-to-dry resin bond to the work surface.
With the advancement of the plastics industry in general, and PLP in particular, the fabrication of relatively large FRP structures has evolved into significant acceptance. With the emergence of very large, highly loaded plastic composites, FRP fabricators have been faced with the realities of placing ever increasing amounts of materials and labor at risk during the curing process. To minimize such risk they have shifted to structures which comprise a plurality of panels or subassemblies which can be field assembled. However, prior to the instant invention, fabricators had to rely only upon the use of mechanical fasteners or secondary bonding techniques (e.g., wet-to-dry surface resin bonding) to assemble such sections or subassemblies. Experience has proven that both of these means provide a less than acceptable bond. It has long been known that a primary bond (e.g., wet-to-wet surface resin bonding) provides a union which, unlike mechanical or secondary bonds, provides a strength which rivals that of any other section of the structure. Other advantages of primary bonds include, but are not necessarily limited to: (a) they are less susceptible to contamination; (b) they enable selective fiber orientation across the bond line, thus enabling cross hatching of fibers across the bond line which provide for higher structural efficiencies; (c) they preclude the need for adhesives thereby eliminating the cost and separate curing cycle required by such an adhesive; (d) they eliminate the need for elaborate jigs and fixtures often required for the often precise fitting of a secondary bond; (e) they normally provide for a much simpler inspection than that required by a secondary bond; (f) they substantially preclude the need for surface preparation which would otherwise be required by a secondary bond; and, (g) they are much stronger than secondary bonds.
Thus there exists a long felt need in the art of FRP fabrication by which relatively large structures, such as plastic tanks, can be fabricated by assembling discrete panels or sections which are joined together with primary, wet-to-wet resin bonds. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '895360f5628b114ad49868e0f37293a8301f49f5be5ab93c47d71bd577c42192'} |
JAXB again
the relevant stuff is mainly in javax.xml.bind package. include by default in JDK6, versions vary. tools like schemagen are not, so need to be downloaded from jaxb site.
basic example:
@XmlRootElement(name = "TimedValue")
@XmlType(propOrder = {"value", "time"})
public class TimeValue {
private String value = null;
private Date time = null;
@XmlElement(name = "value") public String getValue() {
return value;
@XmlElement(name = "time") public Date getTime() {
return time;
The result is something like
Note that without the “propOrder” setting the ordering of elements is random due to unpredictable reflection.
Note, I never tried to compile the above, lol, it is just an example. The given names are also a match for the class information but could be named in any other way as long as the way is XML compliant. I prefer explicit naming for understanding and evolution.

Lawmakers Unveil $10M Plan To Clean Up Water In Wisconsin
One of the proposals from the task force would create a new Office of Water Policy within the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, a part of the University of Wisconsin-Extension. The office would be tasked with “coordinating efforts to manage, conserve, protect, and enhance the productivity of the state’s water resources,” according to the task force’s official report. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '2', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8728850483894348}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '33570', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2L2BDJFLVUUDZC34ZOXTXBT4BONYFL4S', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ce964932-6973-49bf-9daa-cc956fe15791>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 26, 11, 49, 47), 'WARC-IP-Address': '128.104.144.140', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:JNNSIQDRCWCXXNW43MKSMTJT7TOJDEKV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:889e5f92-55be-4ffe-ab21-e8c849035284>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://clipsheet.uc.wisc.edu/extension/lawmakers-unveil-10m-plan-to-clean-up-water-in-wisconsin/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2a0d63c8-58d6-4c29-83c1-d13664b067fd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '70', 'url': 'https://clipsheet.uc.wisc.edu/extension/lawmakers-unveil-10m-plan-to-clean-up-water-in-wisconsin/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-204\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.19556492567062378', 'original_id': 'c9932cf8db19ed2c45f235d5443a1053bdb1427ba5b94510389a1564fe4a478c'} |

New Songwriters
Are you a budding songwriter?
Writing a hit single
Sacha SkarbekSacha Skarbek
Sacha Skarbek is a Grammy nominated and two time Ivor Novello winning songwriter who's worked with artists such as Samantha Mumba and Beverley Knight, and who also played a key role in the development of James Blunt with whom he wrote the worldwide no.1 hit 'You're Beautiful'.
Here he talks about how he started out, his musical background and what inspires him as a songwriter.
He also has some great advice for people entering the Radio 2 New Songwriters competition, covering what makes a good song and what the mentors will be looking for.
Q1. How did you get into songwriting?
I trained at music school but got into writing when I was about 17. I was interested in jazz and started playing in bands and it all progressed from there.
Q2. Is songwriting hard to get into?
Yes it's definitely hard, especially for the first few years when you're not really making any money. It takes an enormous amount of tenacity and you have to stick at it. But a lot of other jobs are hard, so if you're really passionate about it and really want to do it - then do it!
Q3. What's the best thing about being a songwriter?
I get an enormous high when I'm in the studio and I'm lucky enough to be with a bunch of talented musicians - suddenly your song comes to life and it's the best feeling in the world. And then when you have a no. 1 record that makes it even better!
Q4. How did having a background in classical music help your songwriting career?
It helped in terms of knowing my way round a piano, chord sheets and instrumentation. It also gave me confidence as a player... But my brother didn't have the same classical training and he works in a different way. It's all about who you are as a person and what you'll respond to. It's not an absolute requirement.
Q5. Can you remember your first song? And when did you get your first break in the industry?
The first song I wrote was when I was about 15 and I was first getting into jazz. There was a painting called Nighthawks and I decided to write a song based on that. I kept it to myself because songwriting is a very personal part of you. The first time I realised I might have a chance in the industry was when I played keyboards on a song called Seven Seconds for Neneh Cherry. It was amazing to hear that song on the radio!
Q6. Do you get involved in the studio recording process?
I'm a songwriter/producer so I'm very hands-on. I produce a lot of the songs that I write and I find that side interesting - but there are different elements to recording a song, and not all writers get involved.
Q7. Who are your musical influences?
I think Prince is the ultimate musician and songwriter. I like my soul music as well so Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke have all had an influence on me. Nowadays some of the people I get to work with really inspire me - Ron Sexsmith for example is an incredible songwriter.
Sacha also has some great advice for people entering the New Songwriters competition.

Micro Weather Sensor (MWS)
Period of Performance: 06/01/2010 - 12/01/2010

Principal Investigator
The Special Operations Forces mission requirement for remote weather sensing can be satisfied with an innovative solution that addresses tactical mobility in high threat environments. Within this context UES proposes the development of a novel Micro Weather Sensor, a modular system consisting of a comprehensive sensor suite and a compact, powerful networking device. The suite measures temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, ambient light, and radiological contamination and can be extended to also monitor wind speed and direction, cloud height and thickness, and chemical and biological warfare agent contamination. A mobile handset running the Linux operating system serves as the user/network interface, supporting both fully-automated and human-directed operating modes. Using encrypted Internet Protocols over wireless data networks, the handset not only relays locally acquired weather information to command and control elements, but also receives and graphically portrays data feeds from those elements. By virtue of the expanded network awareness and broad spectrum sensing capabilities that also include CBRN detection; the proposed sensor represents a dramatic improvement in remote weather sensing technology. BENEFITS: The proposed micro weather sensor will increase the availability of ground-based weather sensor data in forward areas. The sensor will be smaller and lighter than current state-of-the-art solutions and therefore easier to transport. The modular sensor array will be reconfigurable, allowing custom configurations that are optimized for specific deployment scenarios. A decoupled architecture will allow optimal placement of sensor and radio communications hardware. The computing subsystem will use an operating system with a strong security model and secure network communications will be supported. Intelligent software design will provide improved interoperability with local user and remote command and control elements. Remote sensing of weather phenomena has applications in Special Operations Forces and conventional military activities. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8773051500320435}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '37172', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LT4YB2DRPXHQJSODVRJB7R5OA2MKL7GF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:aa36959f-397f-4ecb-a5f5-b95d4f531a91>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 22, 18, 10, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.24.6.103', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:TDLGGN4EZNYZ5N5HF2YVHTAXGSQ2ESGY', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f3341ce4-b0ed-4ef3-9683-df1744ec6289>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://sbirsource.com/sbir/awards/60074-micro-weather-sensor-mws', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dfac884e-ea78-422a-b986-21df7dca5480>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '309', 'url': 'https://sbirsource.com/sbir/awards/60074-micro-weather-sensor-mws', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-211.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': '0.05108922719955444', 'original_id': '0765803468aa0c1c37173d1561ecd781411d1158096c288d935bbb7b7111951e'} |

Thinking through memory was not very wise, not only because anything i recaptured would be not the original memory but a constructed memory but also because the immediacy of the experience i then experienced, overladen by temporal embellishments and reconfigurations, would lose its poignancy . By no means did i feel that the remembrance would be dessicated but the intervening gap would have clarified the obscure, illuminated the penumbral blurrings and revealed a certain element of the subterranean, now conscious.
In the meantime it is disconcerting to think about the ways in which the experience, which became a subsequent memory, made indentations in me unconsciously. What slips, ellipses, parentheses would have laid bare, to any discerning observer, the lineaments of the imperceptible forces of my consciousness. Thus there would be the memory, revealing its impact on me through my behavioural depredations ,as yet undiscerned by me but subsequently dappling my consciousness, retroactively, with both a recollection of the original experience and the configurations hindsight would inveigle. In a way this renders time fluid because temporalities intersect and overlap.While an ostensible breach, which the interrugnum signifies, indicates time past and time present in actuality they have coalesced wherein time present is immanent in time past and time past a manifestation through time present.
Is the nature of recollection always a construction? Is it not possible, hypothetically, that though each contingent recollection transforms context certain bare bones of the original memory still remain unaltered. The fact that though additions, elisions, superimpositions, disavowals are ineluctable they still testify, despite their tenuousness and ephemerality to a certain authenticity of what actually supervened. That even within the indwelling nature of apocryphal incertitude there is still a certainty. The question of essence, of being. Undoubtedly given the precariousness of memory the original experience would be an amorphous conglomeration of variegated permutations, reshuffled contingently yet randomly. But still, the question arises as to whether underlying these nebulosities there is a certain undifferentiated and veracious aspect of consciousness. I suppose my query is as to whether, despite the dubiousness of memory there might still be something unassailably , inalienably genuine.
And the more i ponder this the more i am convinced that an undercurrent of truthfulness underlies memory. Of necessity, this truthfulness is a fluid truthfulness and its constituents undergo continual metamorphoses but still, the integument is constant. And that perhaps is the protean nature of experience and memory, its unclassifiability, its appropriability, its attendant debasements and transmogrifications. Is it not then, in a way liberating that there is this elastic experience, entombed as memory, sometimes unknown, sometimes visible which, by retaining its polychromatic profusion gives a new way of looking at, interpreting and understanding memory. Therefore, perhaps, memory in itself is evanescent and transitory yet durable and persistent.
Ultimately the being, the palimpsest on which becoming occurs amalgamate and interleave harmoniously and kinetically. Being is becoming, becoming is being as far as memory is concerned. So the question of realiability and unreliability is superseded,in my mind, with the association of what experience is and how we experience it, what is real and how real do we see it as or make it to be, what is essence and what is existence. By blurring these categorisations memory becomes and demonstrates the irrefutability of its provisionality and the authentication within its indeterminacy. Thus it becomes a mnemonic of life itself.

Oscar was an unlucky sap. Having just spent megabucks on a skydiving class, he dove out of the airplane and pulled the ripcord. The chute emerged, but tangled, and as he plummeted towards earth like a missle, he cut it free. He then pulled the cord on the reserve chute, and nothing. He prayed to his God as he whistled down now at sonic speed and when he looked to the ground below, to his amazement, a woman was coming up with equal velocity.
"Hey, you know anything about parachutes?" he shouted to her, as they passed by.
"No." the reply faded upward, "You know anything about Coleman stoves?"

Trust in God and do the right. This is something we have been taught from our very early days. We don’t really have a problem with trusting in God when we know that we are doing the right thing. The problem arises that God often works in mysterious ways. You put in all your efforts, and you find yourselves deprived of the carrot and the stick chasing you on top of that. Can you persuade God to take a kinder view? Germany Astrologer RajatNayar, best and most famous astrologer, believes that the outcome of our efforts isn’t just dependent on the efforts, the stars and the Vastu too play a vital part in the outcome. While it is only you who have control of the efforts you put in, you can rely on top Remedial Astrologer Rajat Nayar to take care of the stars and Vaastu. All you need to do is to get in touch with him team and consult him along with information about date, time and place of your birth. If you follow his advice, there is no reason that your efforts to achieve your goals go to waste.He is available for phone consultations for people of Germany too if you want to consult him in Germany sitting at your home or office. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '218ae59431dfb6a08c7f10e5069f889f9e99fafdbb0c0b02e6566961b340aa06'} |
Q:
php - query data to json response
I'm trying to fetch data from php via PDO to then receive a JSON object (json_encode) to have something to work with on frontend. Try as I might, the only data I receive from MySQL query are the usernames of users who added the messages (tweets), see below:
Tweet class:
class Tweet extends User {
private $id;
private $userId;
private $text;
private $creationDate;
public function __construct() {
$this->id = -1;
$this->userId = null;
$this->text = null;
$this->creationDate = null;
}
function getId() {
return $this->id;
}
function getUserId() {
return $this->userId;
}
function getText() {
return $this->text;
}
function getCreationDate() {
return $this->creationDate;
}
function setUserId($userId) {
$this->userId = $userId;
}
function setText($text) {
$this->text = $text;
}
function setCreationDate($creationDate) {
$this->creationDate = $creationDate;
}
static public function loadTweetById(PDO $pdo, $id) {
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE message_id=:id");
$result = $stmt->execute([
'id' => $id
]);
if ($result === true && $stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$loadedTweet = new Tweet();
$loadedTweet->id = $row['message_id'];
$loadedTweet->userId = $row['user_id'];
$loadedTweet->text = $row['message_text'];
$loadedTweet->creationDate = $row['message_datetime'];
return $loadedTweet;
}
return null;
}
static public function loadAllTweetsByUserId(PDO $pdo, $id) {
//$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE user_id=:id");
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT "
. "Users.username, "
. "Messages.message_text, "
. "Messages.message_datetime "
. "FROM "
. "Messages "
. "JOIN "
. "Users "
. "ON Users.id=Messages.user_id "
. "WHERE `user_id`=:id "
. "ORDER BY Messages.message_datetime DESC");
$result = $stmt->execute([
'id' => $id
]);
//var_dump($stmt->rowCount());
if ($result === true && $stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$loadedTweet = new Tweet();
//echo $loadedTweet->id = $row['message_id'] . '<br>';
echo $loadedTweet->userId = $row['username'] . '<br>';
echo $loadedTweet->text = $row['message_text'] . '<br>';
echo $loadedTweet->creationDate = $row['message_datetime'] . '<br>';
echo "<br>";
//return $loadedTweet;
}
return null;
}
}
static public function loadAllTweets(PDO $pdo) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Messages JOIN Users ON Users.id=Messages.user_id ORDER BY Messages.message_datetime DESC";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$tweets = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$tweetsList = [];
if ($stmt !== false && $stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
foreach ($tweets as $dbTweet) {
$tweet = new Tweet($pdo);
$tweet->id = $dbTweet->message_id;
$tweet->userId = $dbTweet->user_id;
$tweet->text = $dbTweet->message_text;
$tweet->creationDate = $dbTweet->message_datetime;
$tweet->getUsername = $dbTweet->username;
$tweetsList[] = $tweet;
}
return $tweetsList;
} else {
return null;
}
}
public function saveToDB(PDO $pdo) {
//sprawdza czy robimy insert czy update
if ($this->id == -1) { // if -1, robimy insert
//przygotowanie zapytania
//$userId = $_SESSION['userId'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO `Messages`(`user_id`, `message_text`) VALUES (:user_id, :message_text)";
$prepare = $pdo->prepare($sql);
//wyslanie zapytania do bazy z kluczami i wartosciami do podmienienia
$result = $prepare->execute([
//uzywa userId zapisanego w sesji
'user_id' => $this->userId,
'message_text' => $this->text
]);
// pobranie ostatniego ID dodanego rekordu i przypisanie do ID w tabeli Users
//$this->id = $pdo->lastInsertId();
return (bool) $result;
}
}
function loadAllTweets from Tweet class (returns an array of Tweet objects):
static public function loadAllTweets(PDO $pdo) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Messages JOIN Users ON Users.id=Messages.user_id ORDER BY Messages.message_datetime DESC";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$tweets = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$tweetsList = [];
if ($stmt !== false && $stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
foreach ($tweets as $dbTweet) {
$tweet = new Tweet();
$tweet->id = $dbTweet->message_id;
$tweet->userId = $dbTweet->user_id;
$tweet->text = $dbTweet->message_text;
$tweet->creationDate = $dbTweet->message_datetime;
$tweet->getUsername = $dbTweet->username;
$tweetsList[] = $tweet;
}
return $tweetsList;
} else {
return null;
}
}
mainpage.php
<?php
include_once '../../bootstrap.php';
header('Content-Type: application/json');//return json header
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$tweets = Tweet::loadAllTweets($connection);
$jsonTweets = [];
foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
$jsonTweets[] = json_decode(json_encode($tweet), true);
}
$response = ["tweets" => $jsonTweets,
"success" => $username];
echo json_encode($response);
ajax
$.ajax({
url: "../admin/ajax/mainpage.php",
dataType: 'json'
})
.done(function (response) {
console.log(response.tweets);
})
.fail(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
Any insight on what I'm doing wrong is greatly appreciated.
A:
The private properties of the Tweet class are not visible to json_encode and therefore not included in the json. Make them public or implement \JsonSerializable with a custom jsonSerialize implementation, e.g.
class Tweet implements \JsonSerializable
{
// ...
public function jsonSerialize()
{
return [
'foo' => $this->foo,
'bar' => $this->bar
];
}
}
More on visibility: http://docs.php.net/language.oop5.visibility
The not so obvious thing is that your static method loadTweetData can indeed access the private props because the objects are of the same class.
Note off topic: Having your Tweet model extend User is a little awkward because the Tweet is not a User (violates Liskov substitution principle).

5 common mistakes of mail signature settings
Don't be drab,The email signature must be lively and interesting!
What shall we do ? That is avoiding these five common mistakes.
1.List all contacts.When you have multiple phone numbers, email addresses, social network accounts, you may want to list them all,but the recipient will annoy it.You just need list one or two contact ways ,that’s enough !
2.Make your signature with a picture.Some email providers to intercept email marketing messages the default settings of the image .The recipient may be see nothing if your signature is contained the names, titles, images and trademarks..If you want to attach images, remember that behind the image with alternate text
3.Regardless of small - screen users.At least half the recipients use mobile devices to read your messages. This also means that your signature will appear on the small screen.You must ensure that you can use your thumb to touch everything
4.Adding irrelevant information.if you have a blog or run a small business, you'll probably want to improve sentiment. In the message signature attached website link is a good idea, but the premise is that the need to ensure that the content associated with the recipient.
5.Obsolete signature.In a simple and lively discourse as an email marketing message to an end.You have to let them have the desire to get back to you.
Mistakes of mail signature settings:
1. Including every possible way to contact you.
2. Using an image as your signature.
3. Not designed for the small screen.
4. Including irrelevant information.
5. Having a stale sign off.

Personnel recovery team lives up to its motto
by Master Sgt. Kimberley Harrison
U.S. Air Forces Central combat camera
5/28/2010 - JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq (AFNS) -- "These things we do, that others may live." That s the motto for the Airmen of the 64th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron who operate and maintain Joint Base Balad's rescue helicopters.
Training exercises, conducted at both deployed locations and stateside units, are a never-ending way of life for the 64th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron members.
"We train for a very diverse set of search methods," said Capt. Lee Kostellic, a 64th ERQS HH-60 Pave Hawk pilot. "When something actually happens, it's never going to be the perfect training scenario, so we train for multiple circumstances in order for us to have the tools available to do our job."
The squadron was once considered the largest, single combat search and rescue operation since the Vietnam War. The squadron no longer performs the traditional combat-search-and-rescue mission, which was limited to the recovery of downed aircrews from hostile territory.
"We're personnel recovery," said Maj. Jenn Reed, the 64th ERQS director of operations, "We train for the entire spectrum of personnel recovery. CSAR is just one small end of that spectrum."
Personnel recovery has become an increasingly important mission within the joint fight in both Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
"In Afghanistan we're assisting with Army medical evacuations," Captain Kostellic said. "Folks are affected by life, limb, and eyesight injuries daily and the timeliness of our response - the faster we are at what we do and the more efficient we are in what we do - can make the difference between that person surviving or dying."
The Air Force was designated by the Department of Defense as the lead military service for personnel recovery efforts.
There are approximately 48 Airmen - pilots, flight engineers, aerial gunners, pararescuemen, combat rescue officers, aviation resource management and others who make up the rescue squadron.
"We're not a large force, but we're the most highly trained in personnel recovery," Major Reed said. "If we get a call for a mission, it means someone is having a really bad day."
"The most interesting part about the personnel recovery aspect is it tasks our brains because there is always more than one way to skin that cat, Captain Kostellic said. "Sometimes the (pararescuemen) are the answer, sometimes we are the answer but the bottom line is we are here to save lives in the best way possible."
"We're in an unusual situation because we are a low-supply, high-demand asset and we're constantly deployed or preparing to deploy," Major Reed said.
The operations tempo hasn't deterred anyone's motivation and dedication because job satisfaction is second to none.
"Our mission is a noble one," Major Reed said. "When you're part of an effort that allows somebody else to go home to their family, it makes the months we spend away from our families worthwhile."
For first-time deployers, this opportunity offers a unique training experience.
"This is a very good environment to send our brand new guys," Captain Kostellic said. "They can get their feet wet and test their training because there's not a ton of missions here. That's a good thing."
"It's a great place to go on a first deployment," said Senior Airman Joseph Arriza, a 64th ERQS aerial gunner. "I'm learning a lot because I'm actually able to do my job here, so I'm learning the ropes about what an aerial gunner really does."
Job excitement seems to be constant for this personnel recovery team - from the pilots who get everyone where they need to be, the flight engineer and aerial gunner who remain alert for possible trouble, to the pararescuemen who ensure personnel are brought back where they belong, everyone has a job to do and each do it well.
"I think being an aerial gunner is the best job in the Air Force," Airman Arriza said. "It's a big responsibility because you're responsible (for) where those bullets go. You have to think about what you're doing before you do it within such a short span of time when something arises."
In addition to normal CSAR efforts, personnel-recovery teams also respond to mishaps or precautionary landings by any friendly military force, convoys isolated in hostile territory, civil search and rescue, aeromedical evacuation, non-combatant evacuation, disaster relief and international aid.

Q:
jQuery .fadeOut() blocking div under
I was checking this example of slideshow and found a strange behavior.
I am using this code but the image under does not show until the above one is done fading out. Why? I expected the image #above to fade out to the image #under.
(Note that #above has z-index:10;)
<div id="current_image">
<img width="370" id="above" src="...
<img width="370" id="under" src="...
</div>
jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".small_image").click(function () {
event.preventDefault();
var image = $(this).prop("rel");
var above = $('#above');
var under = $('#under');
under.prop('src', image);
above.fadeOut(1000, function () {
above.prop('src', under.prop('src')).css('display', 'block');
});
});
});
FIDDLE
A:
The problem is that the 2 images in the #current_image div are not on top of one another, but the one image is vertically above the other image (the images are not stacked).
http://jsfiddle.net/cVNTG/2/
So, you just need to alter some CSS:
#current_image {
width:370px;
height:245px;
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
position: relative;
}
#current_image img {
min-height:100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Now your images are absolutely aligned, and they're on top of one another. So as one fades out, the other one is showing behind it. If you had inspected the HTML/CSS with something like Firebug, you would have seen this.
I would consider rewriting the JavaScript portion of this. You don't really need to change src and all that. Just assign your #above and #below id's as needed, and then make sure #above has a higher z-index (or really, you probably only need to add/remove the #above id).

Maths reveals genital herpes' magic number
The virus is transmitted during sex but mostly when people have no symptoms (Source: himbeertoni/iStockphoto)
The study explains why current drugs against herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2) don't completely prevent transmission, says Dr Josh Schiffer, an expert in infectious diseases at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle.
HSV-2 infection is lifelong and can lead to painful ulcers on the genitals and is understood to facilitate HIV infection.
The virus exits the nerve cells it lives in at regular periods, and this shedding can lead to transmission.
But, says Schiffer, the majority of people who have HSV-2 don't know they have it and most transmission occurs when there are no symptoms.
A key question to date has been what amount of virus is required in the genital tract to enable transmission.
Now, in a study in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Schiffer and colleagues use a mathematical model to answer this.
The model simulates the shedding of virus in an infected person and transmission to an uninfected partner.
"Every assumption in the model favours transmission," says Schiffer, whose research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
He and colleagues calculate there needs to be 10,000 copies of virus [per swab] in the genital tract for transmission to occur.
While Schiffer says the predictions of the mathematical model need to be tested, they could help explain why current antiviral drugs against HSV-2 don't completely work.
"You can exceed that threshold of 10,000 copies with the currently available drugs."
But, says Schiffer, there are drugs in development that may prove more promising and the threshold could provide a useful target for viral shedding in future clinical trials.
Schiffer and colleagues also modelled the kinetics of HSV-2 and found viral levels can increase very rapidly within a matter of hours, much faster than the immune system can mount a response.
These findings have implications for drug dosing regimes, says Schiffer.
"If the drug levels are decaying as the virus is expanding, the drug often won't be adequate to completely control the virus below this threshold," he says.
"The best strategy would be a drug with a half-life over a scale of days rather than hours."
Australian expert Professor Tony Cunningham, executive director of the Westmead Millennium Institute for Medical Research, says he has long wondered what the viral load required for transmission is.
"This is one of the first times this has been answered," he says. "I think this is a good paper."
Cunningham says about 12 per cent of Australians are infected by HSV-2 and studies elsewhere in the world suggest only 20 per cent of infected people show identifiable symptoms.
He says HSV-2 infection is more common in women, Indigenous people and people with HIV.
Indeed, says Cunningham, it is well known that prior infection with genital HSV-2 infection enhances HIV infection by weakening the skin barrier.
He says the new findings may help explain why efforts to stop the spread of HIV by stopping HSV-2 transmission have so far failed.
"The antivirals are not completely suppressing the herpes simplex below the magic level of 10,000," says Cunningham.

You M-I-S-S-E-D the question. Who belongs to MARS that HRO, GIGAPARTS and so on will mod any radio, no questions asked, just so the good buddies can get on 27.185 and run 100 watts? It’s OUT OF BAND. I bet there aren’t a thousand MARS ops out there, if that many. But yet people always want that mod.

This isn't correct the way it's written. I can modify a 7300 (or any radio) all I want, or build one from scratch, convert a Part 90 radio to operate in the ham bands, etc. As a part 97 license holder, it's my responsibility to make sure I am meeting the Part 97 requirements (spectral purity, power, etc.) when operating in the ham bands. You CAN modify a 7300 to operate outside the ham bands - you just can OPERATE it in that fashion. If I modify a Part 90 radio to operate in the ham bands, then I can no longer use it as a Part 90 device in it's allocated band. That's where this logic applies - not within the Part 97 world.
There are plenty of ham radios out there that can operate outside the ham band allocations right out of the box. Mostly older radios as microprocessor controls allow the radio to prevent this. My TS-520S, TS-820S, Drake TR-4CW, etc., all will easily operate on 14.400... It's my job to see that they don't.

As were Japanese, Korean, and Taiwan products when they started out. Many on here were too young or not even born then or just have selective memories. Currently India and Indonesia are becoming factors as they each have populations of a BILLION+ and are very intelligent people once educated. OTOH the US is going downhill in the smarts category....with notable exceptions not stifled by our laws, unions, drugs, and other things.
Many products from China these days equal or surpass our own plus are not at rip off prices which is why their economy is so strong.

Go read the regs.
I am not responsible for any attempts at gray zones on this thread.
Yes, as a Part 97 licensee, your IC 7300 is illegal to use if you have modified it to transmit outside of Part 97 allocations.
It is your responsibility to understand what it means to have an "allocation" in the cases of an emergency, or MARS.
Ask yourself: who issues MARS callsigns, and must you be a Part 97 licensee to have a MARS license.

I have. Think about it, if as a licensed amateur I can build a radio out of used TV parts and operate it (on the ham bands) so long as it meets the technical requirements, I can surely operate a modified 7300 (or any radio) so long as it meets the same requirements AND I operate within the ham bands. If I modify the firmware of the 7300, and my modified firmware CAN operate out of the ham bands, the radio doesn't suddenly become "illegal to use" as you put it. It is illegal to use outside the ham bands.
I have read thru the regs, and some have argued that it's a good idea to make sure you have the capability to operate out of the ham bands if it becomes necessary as provided under parts 97.403 and 97.405. I don't necessarily agree with that idea, but folks have been modifying their radios to this effect for many years.
If you would like to clear things up, please post where in Part 97 you found what you're claiming. And there are differences in the restrictions around marketing radios, and using them.

MARS is not Part 97.
MARS licensees do not operate under Part 97.
MARS frequency allocations are not Part 97 allocations.
MARS requirements include an HF station which works in the MARS allocations.
MARS requires a Part 97 license in the application process as a means of vetting practical proficiency and operating ability . But it is not Part 97.
A MARS license is not a Part 97 license.

Nice. By your logic, I can make the statement, "The FCC requires that all transceivers be painted blue". Can you disprove that?
If you make a claim, cite it. If not, then you're just making things up. I was being courteous when I corrected your statement, I guess I forgot who I was dealing with. :D

Recommendation letter is a kind of a letter used to prove and support personal abilities and skills of a student or any other person. They are mostly used to state that a peculiar person is suitable to hold a specific position at a company. Consequently, the letter must be paid special attention to in the process of writing.
Recommendation letters are normally composed by you previous chef, supervisors or colleagues. It is expected that they will outline positive features, attributes, and aspects, which will demonstrate the best personal features and prove that you are the perfect candidate for a specific position.
Regarding students, they require letters of recommendations from their lecturers, course instructors or supervisors to start their future career after graduation.
In Order to Write a Letter of Recommendation, It Is Advised to Fulfill the Following Steps:
1. Meet with the person you are going to write the letter for.
2. If you do not know the person, try to gather as much information about him/her as possible.
3. Ask a person you meet to provide certificates or any other documents that confirm his/her qualifications.
4. Gather all the collected information in one folder so you always have everything you need for writing at hand.
5. Write a recommendation letter template.
6. Think of all aspects you would like to describe in your letter.
7. Consider all the ethical issues connected to the given kind of writing.
8. Dedicate each paragraph to a specific quality of a person.
9. Provide the top paragraph to explain who you are and what connection you have to the person you are writing about.
10. Pay attention to the layout and recommendation letter format.

In Addition, There Are Many Aspects That Have to Be Included in a Letter of Recommendation:
1. The duration of time you are acquainted with the person.
2. Full name of the candidate, his/her address and contact information.
3. Information regarding your personal dealings with the person.
4. Short information about you and the company or institution you represent.
5. Explain why your recommendation can be considered reliable.
6. Description of candidate’s qualifications and qualities.
To Answer the Question “How to Make a Recommendation Letter?”, the Writer Has to Consider the Following Points:
• Before you start writing recommendation letter for student, you must remember that the future career of a person may depend on what and how you write.
• It is important to make notes during personal meeting to make your letter accurate and precise.
• It is not the details that matter in the writing process but the way you write, the expression, and the tone of the letter. In order for people to trust your letter, they should trust you and consider you as a reliable referee.
• Be attentive during the meeting. Try to avoid mistakes and clarify the names if necessary, to write them down correctly. Organize the collected information in a proper way.

7.0 Massive Earthquake Hits Haiti UPDATE
UPDATE: You can help by texting YELE 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the relief fund. Many people are left homeless and in utter devastation!
Our company is donating through Unicef but you can also donate to The Red Cross.
There's a lot of things we can plan for and attempt to control, but as said for many generations, mother nature isn't one of those things. A 7.0 quake striked Haiti just around the Port-au-Prince area inflicting massive damage. There hasn't been a body count or too much press released yet, but it is being considered a catastrophe as powerlines and buildings have been knocked down.
As if the population of Haiti isn't dealing with enough, since "Eighty percent of Haiti's population lives under the poverty line.."
Prayers to all those out there.

I2c Questions
I need your input:
I traced the EZB pcb and it seems EZB does not have pull-ups on SDA, SCL lines, neither a resistor in series, can you confirm this ?
Regarding the Pull-Up values, several times I've used 4.7K with STM32F103, STM32F205 and other 3.3v micro-controllers.
When adding 2 devices with same values 4.7K brings down to 2.35K and still works, but if i bring down below <1.5K i had problems.
I know there are other factors:
1) cable length (let's assume we are using normal distances 30 cms)
2) I2c Bus speed
Q2) EZB I2c BUS Speed ?
*** EDIT: The default value is 100 kbit/s and can be configured in the EZ-Builder
Q3) I never heard before the recommendation for 330 to 1K, Isn't the value too low ?
Q4) Can you explain why the recommendation is different for EZB when compared to other/same 3.3 micro-controllers ?
*** EDIT 2:
STM32F205 (EZB microcontroller)

When you have long wires, the series resistors limit the slew rate, but i believe we don't need them. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.864196240901947}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '28681', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:ZKC3SWTNWAFDCMYVBUSQVW2YXQC3LUMI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ee721c14-d03e-4236-9db9-67bc04c01aa8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 21, 16, 10, 23), 'WARC-IP-Address': '40.114.120.130', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:JN42DVPF6YGVOIVGQ6X7ZMI3I4X6SB7N', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1a432fba-fddf-42f9-842b-6878bbbc1a25>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/Thread?threadId=10360&page=2', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:c6dde1c7-6a1c-4fd7-a1a6-ddfac017ca33>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '172', 'url': 'http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/Thread?threadId=10360&page=2', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-144-127-200.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': '0.9631679058074951', 'original_id': 'cc8d8fd30328e29a69ccbed59ec349d15439f6b45eb729405a1a0f98f99ca971'} |
proportion as the power of my father declined ; consequently, that the violent difference that I imagined to subsist between our respective stations was purely imaginary. Besides, the conduct of the Protector to you convinced me that even ambition did not think it beneath its dignity to be intimate with merit. Then I would recollect the fascinating charms of your conversation and the graces of your mind, polished to the highest degree of literary splendor. These circumstances united to shew me how vain it was to attempt my cure by having recourse to pride, and I, therefore, gave it up." Poor Frances Cromwell ! poor Charles Waller ! Child and Chaplain, ye were alike but stumbling- blocks, to be kicked aside and trampled down in the path of Mr. Carlyle's great man, whose whole career strongly tempts one to believe the curious story narrated so circumstantially by Echard, of Cromwell (on the eve of the battle of Worcester) meeting by appointment the Old Gentleman in the wood, and there entering into indentures with him for the exact number of years his power and life lasted ; though Oliver tried hard for an extension of the Rowland he had received. But the nameless Personage was inexorable, and drove a stringent bargain. Now, what inclines me to a belief in this legend is, that Non multus prcmor ! VEPcY SUCCESSFUL. 31 But to return to the two fictions of the two Olivers. Having stated in what consists their difference, it is but right to point out in what they resemble each other, " and the like" if, indeed, it be not objected that nullum simile quod idem est; for the idiosyncracy of Mr. Dickens's Oliver is, that he is always asking for u more : n whereas Mr. Carlyles Oliver, scorning alike parochial and parliamentary convenances, is always helping himself to more! Monsieur de Montalembert has been kind enough, after having imagined the present of England, to predict its future — a sure sign that the gifted and exceedingly amiable foreigner has not been admitted to Madame La Grande Bretagne's petit lever, or he might also have predicted that her future, compared with the onward march of other nations, cannot be so very brilliant after all, unless she has that terrible triple cancer of social, literary, and political humbug from which she is now suffering first skilfullv operated on. However, let us leave both the "high-level sewer" and the "low-level sewer,"' and return to our own more immediate business, first candidly confessing that this preliminary flourish of trumpets from Xaseby to Chenev-row, and from the Commonwealth to the Empire, was wholly and solely to usher in the incontrovertible remark that hero-worship never can be put down, as long as one man shall have a single brain in his head, 32 VERY SUCCESSFUL. a single glow in his heart, an inch more in his mind, and, above all, a shilling more in his pocket, than another. And to prove how deep-rooted it is as a social institution, it is by no means a see-saw, upped, and downed, at two extreme ends, with " a deal " of vacancy between them ; but has a sliding scale, from kings to kangaroos, from thinkers to tinkers, from conquerors to convicts, from orators to organ-players, from singers to sinners, from Memnon to mummies, and from Cadmus to cads. And it so happened that Mr. Phippen was the hero of the latter fraternity; but, alas! what hero can invariably " behave as such," and act up to his worship, and not occasionally skip and go on like a mere ordinary mortal, as if nothing was expected from him? And so it was, we are sorry to say, with Mr. Phippen on the day he sallied out after having; swallowed that unusual bottle of soda-water which Mr. Sedgemore had brought him. Imme- diately after he left his office, but did not leave a single order, nay more, he did not utter even a word ; and, silent drinking being a thing that Mr. Sedgemore was totally unaccustomed to, of course he did not know what inferences to draw from it ; so he sat down and drew a profile of Miss Susannah Simmons on Mr. Phippen' s blotting-paper, accom- panying the sketch by the sister art of music, as travestied in "Villikins and his Dinah," till he came to the u cold pison," when, bursting into a VERY SUCCESSFUL. 33 fine strain of energetic prose, he flung down the pen, exclaiming — " Blowed if that bottle of soda-water ain't 'most as bad to me ! " Meanwhile Mr. Phippen, totally unconscious of the conjectures his unwonted potations were giving rise to, pursued his way westward down Thread- needle-street, regardless of the innumerable overtures made to him from high places, of "Brompton?" " Hoxford-street ?" " Paddington, Sir ? " or the beavers that were touched to him, which, indeed, almost amounted to a " testimonial " from "The Old Hats Club;" but still Mr. Phippen shot on, regardless of it all, till the tongues between the dragons' teeth of the cads rose up in arms, and on and on, from first to last, might have been heard this one hope of many voices — " I say, Bill ! I hope as that 'ere jolly old cove ain't been a consulting on none of them there quack doctors, and they've been a telling on him to walk for his 'ealth, and such like? " If such were the case, all we can say is, that Mr. Phippen was following the prescription most zealouslv; for his pace was of that accelerated description that those who had leisure to think, and thoughts to spare from their own affairs, arrived at the (to them) satisfactory conclusion that the old gentleman was walking for a wager, VOL. II. c 34 VERT SUCCESSFUL. and that if he only continued, as lie was doing, to act up to " Old Rapid's " advice, and u push on and keep moving," he would certainly win it. And he did push on till he reached Oxford-street, where he stopped, took off his hat for a few seconds, and drew a long breath, after which he turned into "Mart's," the large fruit-shop, selected a couple of dozen of very fine oranges, and, further gave half a guinea for a not very large basket of strawberries ; but if the basket was not large, the strawberries were ; and he capped this extravagance with a couple of pounds of hothouse grapes, and half-a-dozen apricots, for which latter he paid twelve shillings. When they were all packed in one long, boat-shaped basket, and embowered in a perfect vineyard of fresh vine- leaves, Mr. Phippen was seized with a fit of admiration. "'Pon my life," said he, "that looks very rural and pretty!" "Won't you try one, Sir?" said the smiling shopman, handing him another circular basket of apricots. " Much obleeged to you, not any I thank you. Fm like the daws, cherries are my fruit. Ha! ha! ha!" " I'm sorry, Sir, we haven't any cherries yet." " What 1 no ' Cherry ripe ! cherry ripe ! ripe, I cry, eh ! — well give my compliments to the VERY SUCCESSFUL. 35 blossoms and tell them to make haste, will you? And also I shall be much obleeged to you to let some one call a cab for me ; but to mind the horse is a good one, and fresh, as he'll have to go about twelve miles there and back. When the cab came, and it, the horse, and the driver had undergone Mr. Phippen's scrutiny, and received his approval, and the basket of fruit had been put into it, he himself got in, telling the cab- man that he wanted to go to Brentford, but not into the town, nor to the Three Kings, but that he was on the Chiswick side to turn down a lane, called Hazeltree-lane, and then he (Mr. Phippen) would stop him and tell him where to go. " But first of all," added he, u stop at a saddler's, where they sell lady's whips and dandy dog-collars, something natty and smart. I don't want a collar for a bull-dog, nor a muzzle for a bear. Now go on I And with a wave of his hand and a "good day " to the bowing shopman, Mr. Phippen leant back, elongated his feet, and drove off, but soon had to rouse himself from his dolce far niente by the stoppage of the vehicle at the saddler's, where he alighted ; the saddler having, as he saw him do so through his shop window, hastily put, en evidence, a large, solid, substantial, well-worked, rather dear, and not the latest-fashioned saddle ; thinking, from the appearance of this new customer, that that 36 VEKY SUCCESSFUL. would be the very thing to suit him, and so he should get rid of it at last. But this was only another instance of the folly of judging from appearances, as Mr. Phippen's very first words dispelled the illusion, for he said, looking round the shop — " I want a small dog-collar, something light and pretty. Ah ! there's the sort of thing — that red morocco one with the silver plate upon it." " It's not real silver, Sir," said the man, handing it to him ; " but I could have a real silver plate put on it, if you wish it % " "No, this will do very well;" replied Mr. Phippen, examining it; "but do you ever put any bells to these sort of collars, little round bells perforated?" " Oh, yes, Sir, frequently ! " and the saddler opened a drawer and produced a box of bells of various sizes. (l Ah, these are the very things ! Just be so good as to hang three of them to this collar. I suppose it would take too long a time to have a name engraved on the plate ? " " Depends entirely, Sir, upon the length of it — that is, the number of letters ; but a name and address could be done in an hour." " I don't want an address, only a name of three letters— T. I. M." VERY SUCCESSFUL. 37 Oh ! that I can get done for you in five minutes, Sir, at the silversmith's next door." u Can you 1 Then I'll take this collar." " Thank you, Sir." ■ "How much is it?" u With the bells it will be five shillings, Sir ; and the engraving I suppose sixpence more. I'll just step in with it myself." " Oh, stop ! there's no difference, I suppose, in the fashion of dogs' and cats' collars?" " None whatever, Sir, except, added the man, smiling, " I should think it was quite a rise in life fur a cat to wear a dog's collar." "Rise in life! 'Eirad! a cunning cat has twenty to an honest dosf s one. You never heard of a do£ upon a house-top, did you ? " " Why no, Sir." " Well, there it is." The saddler almost instantly returned, saying the collar would be sent in in less than five minutes ; and as he again took up his position behind the counter he thought he might, like an over-tired rider, as well make an effort to get off his saddle, so, laying his hand upon the pommel, he called Mr. Phippen's attention to it by say- ing— u A very superior article this, Sir ; I'll venture to say better made goods could not be bought." " I don't doubt it ; but I don't keep horses, and, 38 VERY SUCCESSFUL. you know, a saddle's no use unless one can get the right horse to put it on." " Oh ! beg your pardon, Sir ; perhaps you will do me the favor of taking a few of my cards, in case you should know of any gentleman who might require anything in my way ? " " With all my heart, Mr. Leatherbey," said he, reading the card. " Much obliged to you, Sir." And as a shop-boy from the silversmith's next door now brought in the collar, Mr. Phippen trans- ferred the silver-paper packet to his pocket, saying — " Good day, Mr. Leather." " Leatherbey, Sir," corrected the latter. u Ah, Leatherbey ! So it is. 'Egad ! they say there's nothing like leather ; and that's the way, I suppose, that I made the mistake." " No offence, Sir," bowed Mr. Leatherbey, as he himself shut to the cab door, when once more Mr. Phippen found himself en route for Brentford ; and the first green lane they turned down from Bays- water to cut across to Kensington, he began to enjoy the drive, as there was a perfect firmament of primroses and violets peeping out of the hedges, while the bridal May above them — " Balrued soft, like an angel's blessing, Through the ambient summer air." There are some natures so patented by Heaven VERY SUCCESSFUL. 39 that no evil contacts can corrupt, no prosperity parch, no wealth warp, no misfortunes mildew, or no ingratitude harden them, and from whose elastic verdure, let fate's storms and whirlwinds beat upon them as they may, those unobtrusive moral daisies — kind thoughts and acts — are still ever springing. Such a nature was Philip Phippen's ; and to all such, to return to the woods and fields, hear the greetings of the birds, and inhale the breath of the flowers, is to feel among their trite kindred, who are incapable of the cruelties and treacheries of human relations, or the neglect, the cowardice, or the hollowness of human friends (?). Such natures are generally tried in many furnaces ; but shall they not be purified at last to whom God has spoken in adversity and in prosperity, by the empty cup and the broken cistern, by the full one and the flowing fountain — and in many voices, low and loud, having a providence in each and all — shall they, not more than others, be able to put aside the veil of beauty He has hung between Heaven and Earth, and look up, through the humblest of created flowers, to those glorious regions of uncreated light where He, the living God, "inhabiteth the praises of eternity ? " But of all these furnaces there is none so fiery as that of memory, whose relentless branding-irons are ever ready to sear the heart and brain for some 40 VERY SUCCESSFUL. gaud of hope or happiness pilfered in youth, but dearly expiated through long after-years. And through this furnace and under this ordeal the old man seemed now passing, for in going through a narrow lane, the luxuriant boughs of the woodbine and hawthorn forced a passage through the window, Philip Phippen broke off a branch of the latter, and for a moment, as he buried his face in it, appeared to revel in its delicious perfume ; but when at length he held it at a little distance from him, and began to contemplate the delicate tracery of its fairy-like flowers, and the cool, bowery look of its green varnished leaves, a thorn ran into his finger. "Ah!" he exclaimed, flinging the branch from him out of the window, " always the same ; — fair, sweet, alluring and treacherous ! Pool ! to be pierced by you a second time, and in my old age too." And leaning back he pulled his hat over his eyes, folded his arms, and appeared to be sleeping. Perhaps he was ! jfl£ jfc ijfr $fc %F 418 "Beg your pardon, Sir, but this is Hazeltree- lane," said the cabman, stopping and alighting about three-quarters of an hour after Mr. Phippen had thrown the spray of hawthorn out of the window. " Oh, is it ? " said he, rousing himself, " well VERY SUCCESSFUL. 41 let me out and you may go on to Brentford, cabby, and bait your horse ; but be here — let me see it's now a quarter to five — then be here at a quarter to nine exactly, and wait till I come. What's your number ? — 947." " Very good, Sir, a quarter before nine. Take this here basket with you, Sir, or leave it in the cab ? " u No, no, give it to me. 'Egad ! a pretty thing if I had forgotten them after bringing them all this way." And so saying, Mr. Phippen tucked the long basket under his arm, and proceeded up the lane, till suddenly stopping and looking about him, he uttered the following soliloquy, which might indeed have occasioned Mr. Sedgemore to form far more compromising conjectures than ever the soda-water had done. " 'Gad ! I haven't brought her last letter ; but I'm sure she said Hazeltree-lane, and that I was to go on till I came to where three roads met, when I should see a public-house, and I was to inquire there the way to Hazeltree Cottage; but that if she could possibly get away from her mother, she'd come and meet me. 'Pon my life it's funny too to take a house and not know where it is. Well, never mind, as long as she and they all are happy and comfortable, though I suppose Bob's at school. I wish I could have come down here before, when I sent Sarah Nash to get tne place ready for them, for 42 VERY SUCCESSFUL. it is awkward not to know one's way to the house one's going to ; well it can't be helped, I must only do as she said, and go on till I come to the public- house." To which ten minutes more walking brought him. "Public-house, indeed!" said he, looking up at a fine stuccoed, flat-roofed house, with small stone balconies to the windows, and a portico to the door, on the top of which were two tubs, containing American aloes ; while all the windows had French blinds to them. The house itself standing in a large space, with a fine red gravel sweep by which to approach it, while through a half-open door, on the left-hand side, was the vista of a large leafy garden, with a bowlin^-a-reeii and the Thames bounding it, like a silver fillet beyond. From the centre of the portico hung the sign, which announced itself as — "THE FOUK ALLS, BY THOMAS LEVENS, Wines Xeat as Imported. — Home-Brewed Beer, To be drunk on the Premises" The Four Alls were pourtrayed by the artist in a board divided into four compartments, something (with the exception of the painting) after the style of Parmagiano's early pictures. In one of these VERY SUCCESSFUL. 43 squares was represented the Church, symbolized by a church with a large extinguisher for a steeple, and a clergyman in a white surplice conducting, with a jaunty air, through the churchyard a happy pair to the Hymeneal altnr. In the next compartment, the State was exem- plified by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in her coronation robes, holding a sceptre, which had a strong family likeness to a drumstick, while the Dick Tinto, having flushed her Majesty's face u with a purple grace," gave her the appearance of having au pied de la lettre obeyed the last line of the legend on Mr. L evens' sign. The third solid square was intended as a homage to the Army, and was, consequently, illustrated by a light infantry soldier spitting a Russian on his bayonet, as he might have done a lark, and apparently carrying him home for his supper. And then, last, though not least, came the Agricultural Interest, pathetically set forth by a field groaning with waving corn, and a farmer groaning with fat, eyeing it like a rogue in grain, while a celebrated Protectionist leader (and here the likeness was striking), looking " Like hungry Jew in wilderness, Rejoicing o'er his manna," was talking to, and apparently chaffing him. "Public-house indeed!" exclaimed Mr. Phippen, 44 VERY SUCCESSFUL. as lie looked from the house to the sign, and from the sign to the house ; " there's no such vulgarity to be found now-a-days. I only wonder that on the dogs'-meat barrows they don't inscribe, in gold letters — ' dogs'-meat establishment,' and upon rat-traps and mouse-traps — ' VEBMIN ESTABLISHMENT.' But I don't see a soul about this fine place, and all the doors and windows are open. I suppose they are all playing at bowls. The proverb says ' Those who play at bowls must expect rubbers ;' but, 'egad ! I think Mr. Tiiomas Leven's may expect robbers, if he leaves all his house open in this way, and no one to look after it. At all events I'll go in and see if there is a bell in the house, by which I can make anybody hear." And so saying, he walked into the bar, which had every token of having been recently and numerously filled, to judge by the innumerable tumblers with teaspoons in them, redolent of, and still containing remnants of, gin and brandy-and water, and the strewed fag-ends of cigars. How- ever, at that moment it was perfectly empty ; but as Mr. Phippen put up his glasses and looked around, his eye was attracted by a gilt frame over the mantel-piece, containing a paper printed in gold letters, and elaborately embellished with wreaths of roses and forget-me-nots, tied with blue VERY SUCCESSFUL. 45 true lovers' knots, something after the fashion of a freedoms of cities," only minus the gold box. As the glare of the afternoon sun cast false shadows on these gilded letters, Mr. Phippen, as there was nobody there to ask him to take a chair, took one without being asked, and standing up upon it, he read the following announcement : — * " November, 1804. "On the 15th instant, at Croydon, Surrey, aged 59, Mr. Thomas Levens, many years Clerk of the Parish there. Some few years back, having a very numerous family, he filled the following offices in Croydon and its neighbourhood to maintain them : he was Parish clerk, barber and publican, having many years kept the White Horse, on Dubbin-hill, near the church ; provided musick for dinners, balls, &c, &c. ; taught the psalmody, at home or abroad ; was head-borough and bum-bailiff to the Court of Conscience ; and many years one of the Wardens of the Royal Mecklenburg Freemasons' lodge at Crovdon. He was a thorough good-natured man; well respected ; has left a large family, and taught the violin, flute, bassoon, and French-horn." " Umph ! I've seen worse pedigrees and worse epitaphs too, " said Mr. Phippen, descending from his chair ; " but I wonder which of these numerous * This is extracted verbatim from the Obituary in " The Gentleman's Magazine" for November, 1804. 46 VERY SUCCESSFUL. functions the present incumbent is away fulfilling, and all his people apparently helping him. I don't see a French-horn here, or 'egad I'd have a blow upon it, as practice for Sir Titaniferous's dinner- party to-morrow — ha ! ha ! ha ! But I must find a bell, or something to make them hear, for I can't stay here all day ;" and still, holding his glasses to his eyes, he walked out into the passage, and at the further end of it found a range of some eight or nine bells ; and underneath each, against the wall, on little oval white China plates, in black letters, were Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 : but the tenth, instead of a figure, had a larger plate, with a fire bell" inscribed upon it ; and a bell-pull, sus- pended from it, with a large egg-shaped piece of Derbyshire spar attached to it for a handle. " The very thing ! " cried Mr. Phippen, and de- positing his basket of fruit on a chair, he seized the marble egg with both hands, and began ringing away as vigorously as he had seen ringers do in a belfry when a triple bob major was required. He was getting very warm from his exertions ; but he had not to ring long, for presently came rushing in, like a human Niagara, all the people from the bowling green — men, women, children, and dogs — screaming ! swearing ! talking ! barking ! headed by the landlord, a burly red-faced man in a white apron, suffering apparently from asthma, so that he seemed to be making ineffectual attempts to blow VERY SUCCESSFUL. 47 his progenitor's flute, bassoon, and French-horn, all at once. At length he panted out — "Where! where! where is the fire?'' and Mr. Phippen's languid appearance, leaning against the bannister, and fanning himself with his hat, con- firmed the illusion. " No ! no !" said he, as soon as he himself had recovered sufficient breath from his exertions to speak ; u there's no fire. Ah ! get me a glass of water?" u A glass of water ! Eing the fire-bell for a glass of water ! — and ring it, too, as if all London was on fire, Sir. 1 don't care u-ho you are ; but you are no gentleman ! Gentlemen don't come into a house like this to call for a glass of water. Glass of water, indeed ! And above all, they don't ring the fire-bell to order it ! — water, indeed. If you want water, there's the Thames ; and it's a pitv but what you'd been soused in it before you had come into a respectable house and frightened fe- males as you have done. Look at Airs. Levens, Sir — the state she and her cap are in. Had this happened twenty-five years ago, Sir, it might have caused her death, and that of my son, Sir ; and — and . " But here Mr. Levens was so choked with passion that it requires another chapter to give it vent. CHAPTER in. % long iCjwpfer, in mtjirli a stjart rpisnk nf a Intig \imn tf Mmy 10 rraiM, btj one mjm ntoi ta fain: in it. AVING been so par- ticularly ordered to look at Mrs. Levens and her cap, to which Mr. Levens, with the trembling fore-finger of his right hand was still pointing, Mr. Phippen raised his eyes, and slowly turned his head in that direction, but very much with the cowed look of an old pointer, under the shadow of a raised cane, when he is told to look at the bone he has purloined, the article of wearing apparel he has torn, or any other misdemeanour he may have committed. But even when he ventured upon a more assured stare, he was not much the wiser for what he saw, as, in the first place, Mr. Phippen was no judge of millinery, VERY SUCCESSFUL. 49 and did not even affect to be so; therefore, al- though Mrs. Levens' cap, with its weeping-willows of green and pink satin ribbon, icas hind part before, he did not see any thing remarkable in that circumstance, but only concluded that, as it was the fashion to wear bonnets on the shoulders, it was also the fashion to wear caps in an inverse style. And in the next place, although Mrs. Levens was kicking vigorously — rather too much so he thought, considering the part she was representing was that of a fainting lady — still, as he had told Mr. Leatherby, not keeping horses, he was no judge of kicking any more than of millinery — therefore, what struck him as the most peculiar incident with regard to Mrs. Levens' situation was, that all this muscular-restiveness was taking place in the anus of a tall mildewed-looking young man, of a cada- verous complexion, and lank black hair and mustachios, and as Mrs. Levens was exceedingly fat and short this young gentleman had the greatest possible difficulty in preventing the globular mass intrusted to his protection from rolling out of his arms on to the floor. Now it was not so much this graphic illustration of multum in parvo even that puzzled Mr. Phippen ; but (to use the expression of his own thought) " what part in the play this young man acted V' Was it chance that had caused him to be so heavy-laden, or was Mr. Levens' family conducted upon the same principles as VOL. II. D 50 VERY SUCCESSFUL. Monsieur Crepitus ; and was this spider in mus- tachios the tutor; and just as Mrs. Levens was beginning to understand his system, was he going to be dismissed ! — and was this the real flame which the ringing of the fire-bell had caused to burst forth. Amid so much that was vague and vapour a glimmering of the truth, like a ray of sunshine piercing through a fog, at length illumed his un- derstanding, and he became fully sensible that he had caused a great hubbub, and that some sort of reparation was due to those people, or at all events was expected by them ; so taking out his purse and abstracting from it a five-pound note, which simple act alone, irrespective of its ultimate desti- nation, acted as a charm in allaying Mr. Levens' choler and abating Mrs. Levens' kicks ; but having returned the purse to his pocket, and taken the bank-note gingerly between his finger and thumb, Mr. Phippen approached Mrs. Levens, and, with innumerable bows, said — " Ton my life, ma'am, I'm sorry to have occa- sioned you so much alarm, and if you'll allow me Til explain how the whole thing occurred; only first of all, you know, ma'am, at every fire the first engine that arrives receives five pounds, so do me the favor of getting a new cap, as I see I've been the cause of bringing yours to play all over this young gentleman's shoulders ; " — a mode of pro- ceeding which Mr. Phippen found very successful ! VERY SUCCESSFUL. 51 u Oh ! Sir/' said Mrs. Levens, reviving rapidly under the magnetic contact of the crisp silver- paper, u you're very good, I'm sure ; but there's no occasion for that." There never is when you give or pay money ; it is only when you have not the power of doing either, that you should do so becomes an imperious necessity, which must be enforced. Here Mr. Levens himself rolled over, like a spring tide of the Pacific Ocean, to join the group, and add his intreaties to his wife's, that the o-entle- man would not think any more of the matter. But the mob, who had received no such good reasons for satisfaction, still besieged the door, which presented a curious assortment of noses and chins, that, being elevated by the tip-toes of their owners, flung back their hats upon their shoulders, so that they appeared like a servile imitation of the women's bonnets, till Mr. Levens, being himself now perfectly satisfied, had no idea of pandering to such vulvar and obtrusive curiosity ; so seizing a tankard, which, though in reality empty, was sup- posed by the spectators to be full, he advanced towards the door, and raising it, while he backed his hand to a level with his right ear, as if about to hurl it amid the assembled crowd, he said in an authoritative voice, which must have been an heir- loom from the time his father was bailiff to the Court of Conscience — SKUof.iunob 52 VERY SUCCESSFUL. 11 Come, be off; will you ? There's no fire ; it's only a gentleman that rang the fire-bell for a lark." And in a second this produced the effect of dis- persing the mob, so that only the habitues, or those who were bre(a)d to the bar, and could afford to pay their way, remained to form a select circle round the landlord and Mr. Phippen, while the latter favoured them with the particulars of his invasion of "THE FOUR ALLS." " It was, as you very justly remark, Sir," said Mr. Levens, now mild and sweet as a glass of his own milk-punch, "most imprudent for us all to leave the house without a soul in it; for, instead of being a gentleman like yourself, who is a gentleman — (what a Janus Mr. Phippen must have been ! since ten minutes before he was no gentle- man; however, it only shews how cheap and plentiful (?) gentlemen are, since five pounds can make one) — it might just as well have been some burglar or ticket-of-leave man. For myself, Sir, I should haA-e enjoyed the joke of your ringing the fire-bell exceedingly, had it not been for Mrs. Levens ; but she's extremely nervous and delicate, as you see, Sir." Mr. Phippen looked about, and seeing a larder with a glass window, behind which were two cold roast chickens, a tongue, and some custards and VERY SUCCESSFUL. 53 jellies, he concluded that it was there Mrs. Levens kept her delicacies. " In fact, Sir," continued Mr. Levens, lowering his voice, though by no means so much as to be inaudible below the bar, " I'm sorry to say Mrs< Levens has always had dreadful confinements, which have greatly shattered her nerves — frightful times! — My son, Sir!" and here Mr. Levens pointed to the moustachios, as if to adduce an indisputable confirmation of the last announcement. " But what carried us all away was to see a boat- race, Sir ; and we thought we should not be gone five minutes." Well," laughed Mr. Phippen, u it would have been too bad if your house had been burnt down, since you went for the water before even the alarm of fire was given." And Mr. Levens laughed, and Mrs. Levens laughed ; Mr. Tom Levens (that consistent result of one of Mrs. Levens's "frightful times ") did not laugh, but he smiled, which was a great deal for him to do, and twirled his moustache ; in short, we very much doubt, if Mr. Phippen had not possessed a five-pound note in the world (though the process would then certainly have been slower), whether he would not have equally conciliated the Levens family; for good temper is a natural good breeding, which, to all reasonable persons, is more acceptable than that which is artificial ; as, on the contrary, 54 VERY SUCCESSFUL. the politeness of an ill-tempered man or woman has in it something repelling, for it is hypocrisy added to malignity. But Mr. Phippen, being de- termined to follow up the conquest he had evidently made, said — " Be so good, Mr. Levens, as to let me have a bottle of your sherry; and," added he, timidly, having seen that water was not popular in that house, " some very cold water." But water, like many equally weak things, depends upon what company it is in, to be either despised or thought a great deal of. And so ordered, and under the auspices of a whole bottle of sherry, it now rose like an inundation in Mr. Levens' estimation. " Directly, Sir ! You shall have the best bottle in my cellar ; and I think I may say, though, perhaps, I ought not to say it, that I can give you as good a bottle of sherry as any man in England. It is some that my father had given him by the Grand Master of the Mecklenburg Lodge, when he was bailiff to the Court of Conscience, and it was bottled the very day the Prince of Wales, that is, His late Majesty, George the Fourth, was born, Sir ; in fact, it's wine I dont generally sell. This way, if you please, Sir ! There's a cool parlour* which you can have to yourself. Tom ! (to the moustachios) see that the shutters are open in No. 3. Here, Phoebe ! you go to the pomp for a jug VERY SUCCESSFUL, 55 of fresh water ; take the glass jug ; and be sure that you pump a good lot of water before you fill the jug, that it may be very cold." And so saying, Mr. Levens ushered Mr. Phippen into the parlour, while he went down into the cellar to excavate from its cobwebs a bottle of the yellow-sealed vino puro de Xeres of the Mecklenburg Masonic Lodge. Mr. Phippen seated himself in a Windsor arm- chair at a small round table near the open window (about which Mr. Tom Levens continued to hover, doing something to the blind that was not imperative), so that when Mr. Levens, senior, re- turned simultaneously with "Phoebe" and the latter placed a small tray with the jug of water and one tumbler and one wine-glass before him, Mr. Phippen, who had never read any novels but Smollet's and Fielding's ; u The Vicar of Wake- field ;" the original edition of ft Tristram Shandy," and " The Spiritual Quixote," took it for granted that it was a thing as regular as the bill, to ask the landlord to share hi any potations in which a traveller — whether bond-fide or otherwise — might indulge ; so, seeing the inhospitable provision of glasses, he said to the Hebe of "The Four Alls" — a My good girl, bring a couple more wine- glasses." An* order which Phoebe having obeyed, with her usual promptitude in attending to similar requests, Mr. Phippen filled them, inviting Mr. b VERY SUCCESSFUL. Levens and his son to join him in a toast he begged leave to propose — " Which is, landlord, May your alarm-bell never be rung from any greater necessity than it was to-day ! " " You are very good, Sir. I'm sure I hope not ; and I also hope you'll kindly excuse the mistake I made in my hurry and fright of speaking to you in the manner I did." " All very natural, Mr. Levens ; for when fire and water meet they are sure to produce a hiss • and as I brought you up from the water that is the least I could expect for my fire. But I'm surprised, having read that very creditable account of — your father, 1 presume — over the mantel-piece in the bar, to find you settled in this part of the world." " Well, Sir, so are many people ; for I may say that my father's son might have done 'most any- thing, or had 'most anything in Croydon ; but the fact is, Sir, Mrs. Levens being of a great Brent- ford family — " The < Buttons,' I suppose?" put in Mr. Phippen, wishing with, perhaps, pardonable vanity, to shew his topographical knowledge. " No, Sir, the ' Hooks ;' I thought it only right to consult the wishes of her relations and settle here." " Quite right, Sir. Pray let me offer you another glass of your capital sherry ; don't know that I ever tasted better, really." VERY SUCCESSFUL. 57 Mr. Levens excused himself, thinking he could finish the bottle when his guest was gone ; hut Mr. Tom Levens, having no such future in view, " seized the present and lived to-day;" that is, took the second glass. " Come, come, to drink Mrs. Levens' health," persuaded Mr. Phippen, blandly replenishing the landlord's glass, " as you used to do, I have no doubt, in the days of your courtship. Most young men that are worth having are generallv hooked ; but seeing what a loving couple you still appear to be, 'egad ! you must have been regularly hooked- and-eyed together — ha ! ha ! ha ! " Mr. Phippen taking the initiative in laughing at his own execrable pun, which, however, was loudlv echoed by Mr. Levens, senior; but Mr. Tom Levens, who seemed to think it was no joke, swallowed the sherry instead. " And pray," said Mr. Phippen, st which of his grandfather's — I mean his paternal grandfather's — numerous and all equally meritorious avocations does your son follow ! " " Xone, Sir ; for his grandfather Hook dealt in second-hand books, and for many years did all the printing of the hand-bills and such like in and about Brentford, and, indeed, I may say, as far as Turnhain Green ; so it was his wish, and also my wife's, that he should be in the literairy line, for which he's had a first-rate education." 58 VERY SUCCESSFUL. "Oh, indeed ! Then you are an author, Sir?" said Mr. Phippen, turning suddenly round to Mr. Tom Levens, with a great increase of respect in his manner. "Not exactly, Sir," replied that young gentle- man, looking damper and more mildewed than ever, as he smoothed his ruffled right whisker with a lachrymose expression of slightly offended dignity, that seemed- to say, " not quite so low as that, either ! " " The fact is, Sir," said Mr. Levens pere, coming to the rescue, a my son has been unfortu- nate in the onset of his \iterairy career, in falling in with some rather objectionable speciments, which have given him a distate to the profession. But laivrJ as I tell him, there are black sheep in all professions, but we mustn't condemn the whole herd on that account ; and so it is with the Press, Sir." " Oh ! you are connected with the Press ? " " Only for a very short time, Sir, I was on a paper called " The Weekly Thunderer." " What, as reporter, I suppose? " " No, Sir ; weekly papers have no reporters ; but as colahrateur, which, in plain English, means skimmer ; that is, to collect all the cream of the daily papers." "Ah! I understand; and make a sort of Cheddar cheese of it for the Sunday paper ? " VERY SUCCESSFUL. 59 "It is very much that, Sir; and occasionally I had to write reviews." " Well, I shouldn't at all dislike that, if I was capable of doing it as I have no doubt you are." 6i It is not for me to say whether I am or not. Sir ; but to be a newspaper reviewer now-a-days, one is expected to be capable of anything, which, thank Heaven ! I am not? " How do you mean \ " "Why, Sir, there is wheel within wheel, and most books are either praised or abused to order ; and if I sold my time, I was not willing to sell my conscience." "Right, young man ! I respect you for it. But surely there must be some honest, impartial critics ! " u Of course there are, Sir ; but that does nbt prevent there being a certain knot of unprincipled, unscrupulous, and influential men, who have organized a sort of literary Inquisition. Their emissaries and their engines are everywhere. It is a perfect atmosphere of corruption and intrigue as far as regards individuals, from whose influences there is no escaping; and, by always taking the popular side of every question in their journals, books and magazines, they have a sort of varnished clap-trap public fair fame which is all they care for ; and, therefore, none but their victims and the initiated know the fearful sewer of iniquity that 60 VERY SUCCESSFUL. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'verysuccessful02lytt_2', 'collection': 'English-PD', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '1856.0', 'title': 'Very successful!', 'creator': 'Lytton, Rosina Bulwer Lytton, Baroness, 1802-1882', 'language': 'English', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '7307', 'token_count': '10050', '__index_level_0__': '45878', 'original_id': 'b9cc6df2849178fab57456d51803fe516004169da2895f3f351f89f61116eee1'} |

Libya militia linked to U.S. attack returns to Benghazi
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - An Islamist militia linked to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and kicked out of the city by locals is back openly manning checkpoints and building up support promising much-needed security.
Heavily bearded youths from Ansar al-Sharia control the western entrance into Libya's second biggest metropolis, patrol a hospital and check cars and trucks passing through another checkpoint in the south.
Witnesses say the group's members were at the scene of the September 11 attack that killed the U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans - though Ansar al-Sharia denied any involvement.
Days after the assault, outraged residents drove the group out of its bases in the city in a "Rescue Benghazi" protest.
The group's highly visible return, five months on, underlines the complex security situation on the ground two years after the start of the revolt that ousted Muammar Gaddafi.
Many in the West see Islamist militants as the biggest threat to the security of the oil-producing country and the region - and accuse them of carrying out a string of attacks on police and foreigners in the city in recent months.
Their fears echo international concerns about the rise of Islamism in other countries shaken by the Arab Spring uprisings, including Libya's neighbors Egypt and Tunisia.
But the groups are also held up as heroes of the Libyan uprising by some locals who say they are doing a better job of the protecting them than the government in distant Tripoli.
As celebrations began marking the revolt's anniversary, at least one person waved Ansar al-Sharia's white flag at a rally.
"These men are also people who fought on the front lines, care about their city and provide services. We can't shun them," said Benghazi University professor Iman Bugaighis. "We had to ask them to come back and protect our hospital and streets."
Libya's deputy prime minister, Awad Ibrahim, on Sunday acknowledged the security role played by militias, without specifically mentioning Ansar al-Sharia.
"These militias are part of our liberation. We cannot exclude them at least at this time until we build our army and police," he told Reuters in Benghazi, the cradle of the revolt.
QUIET RETURN
The men at Benghazi's western checkpoint say they have been working there for about a month to maintain security in the run up to the anniversary celebrations.
They also patrol Benghazi's Galaa Hospital where officials said a patient was killed in a fight two weeks ago.
Benghazi council spokesman Osama al-Sharif said hospital staff and residents had had no choice but to ask locals - including Ansar al-Sharia members - to protect the facility.
"It's just the reality of the city. The police have complained of a lack of authority and resources and the interior ministry says it can't do it so we have to rely on these brigades," he said.
The militiamen say they are protecting what they fought for during the war and helping the city's residents.
"We have been seizing illegal medical supplies and contraband and handing it over to the government," said Faisal al-Jamie, in charge of one of the brigade's checkpoint shifts.
"The government told us to get out of the way and it wanted to take over security in the city so we removed ourselves. But then we saw the government wasn't doing anything and the city needed securing so we had to come back and protect our city."
Hundreds of cars pass the checkpoint every day where Ansar al-Sharia pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft weapons acquired in the war are parked on either side of the dusty road.
One of the cars honks at the men in greeting and a passenger waves the black and white flag of al Qaeda.
After Ansar al-Sharia was kicked out of its bases in September, some of its members were absorbed into other armed brigades dotted around the country.
Others quietly returned, keeping a low profile, running a clinic and teaching the Koran. They removed their logo from their vehicles, but have gained enough confidence to acknowledge their allegiance publicly.
The group, whose leaders have turned down repeated interview requests from Reuters, is part of a wider Salafi Muslim movement that follows a puritanical form of Islam.
Many Islamist groups were persecuted under Gaddafi's rule, their leaders imprisoned and tortured in prison. Supporters have refused to join the country's new security forces, saying the police is still filled by Gaddafi's backers.
Far from everyone is happy with the group's rennewed influence.
"The government lost a very good opportunity after our 'Rescue Benghazi' event to control these militias, break them apart and absorb them into legitimate bodies," Younes Najim, an organizer of the campaign to push Ansar al-Sharia out.
"It will take time, but the longer the government takes to organize its security here, the stronger some groups will make themselves to become parallel forces to the government." | mini_pile | {'original_id': '347260f49a225b0b4aac341bf2b48ea02f0429871373211660e1d5663e8a5076'} |

Danish Ban on Circumcision: The Debate Continues
In a previous article, I voiced my objection to a proposed Danish law that would ban circumcision before the age of fifteen. Its proponents equate so called female circumcision, which often involves complete removal of the outer genitalia.( Wikipedia article on female genital mutilation)
I received the following e mail which is a succinct articulation of the anti circumcision position.
I think it's a fair law. ALL infants should be protected from any genital modification. Unless it's an absolutely pressing medical reason, their genitals should be left alone until they can choose what happens.
Notice the subtle equation of circumcision with female genital mutilation. Doctors and religious scholars disagree strongly with such judgments.
Female genital mutilation has no scriptural support in Muslim or Jewish law. It has extensive medical drawbacks that are sometimes fatal.
Circumcision of males is a tradition going back thousands of years. It has its medical proponents and opponents. The arguments are out there. They are too lengthy to go into here. Parents should have a right when there are proponents and opponents of a procedure with medical authority to back them up to make a choice on behalf of their child.
It is a basic right of parents to make medical, religious and educational decisions for their children. Some aspects of such choices are by nature irreversible.
I am highly suspicious of any encroachment upon religious upbringing. Circumcision cannot be separated from that. It seems highly likely that the attack on circumcision is religious and cultural rather than medical. If the issue were purely medical then the opponents of operating on the genitalia of minors would be up in arms about sex change operations on children. Surely offering irreversible anatomical modifications to minors should not be attempted before counseling is offered. Yet these opponents of circumcision do not show up for the sex change debate. What is really being debated here? I wonder.
What is being attempted is the nullification of Judaism and Islam's legal standing. It is being attempted I believe as a calculated attack on the freedom of their followers to educate their children in the faith of their ancestors. As such it is an attempt to wipe out Judaism and Islam.
There are customs that are negotiable. There are aberrations that are done in the name of religious faith. Circumcision is neither. Its opponents seek to abrogate the right of parents to make medical and educational decisions for their minor children. I do not believe it will stop at Jewish and Islamic religious practices. This is an attack on all people of faith. It should be opposed by all who believe in freedom of religion and the sanctity of the family

The Boss (Unrated) Blu-ray Review: Filled with Brilliant, Comedic Performances
While the unrated version had some extra scenes and funny moments, the theatrical version is tighter.
| Comments
Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) is an orphan, rejected by numerous families, who bucks the ideals of traditional family in order to become the celebrity tycoon of her own financial life-coaching empire. After she tells her former-lover-turned-arch-enemy Renault (Peter Dinklage) about her recent insider trading deal, he turns her into the FCC causing Darnell's assets to be frozen, her properties seized, and a prison sentence. After Darnell is released, she ends up on the doorstep of her former assistant Claire (Kristen Bell), who lives in a small apartment with her young daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson). While Claire is in a hurry to get her former boss out the door, Rachel asks her mom to let her stay. With the tables turned, Claire enlists Darnell's help to take Rachel to and from school as well as to Rachel's Dandelion's Scout Troop meeting. While at that meeting, Darnell gets the idea to start her own troop called Darnell's Darlings and sell the amazing brownies that Claire has been making. Instead of the organization being a non-profit like the Dandelion's, Darnell turns the new organization into a profit-sharing commission-based organization to help the young girls earn money and save for college. As Darnell and Claire's new venture begins to take off, Renault decides that they cannot succeed and sets out to destroy what Darnell and Claire have built.
This movie is packed with incredible talent. I am not just talking about McCarthy, Bell, and Dinklage, but the performances of Ella Anderson, John Mulaney, Cecily Strong, Tyler Labine, Kathy Bates, Kristen Schaal, Annie Mumolo, Cedric Yarbrough, Larry Dorf, and many others. Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone (McCarthy's husband, who not only co-wrote the film, but also directed The Boss) come from the sketch and improv world of The Groundlings and have enlisted incredibly talented comedic performers to bring this script to life. Everyone is this film is perfectly cast and all do great things with their parts. The Boss has many moments that caused me to laugh out loud and revisit during my watching. Larry Dorf as Kenny the Guard and Cedric Yarbrough as Tito are two of my favorite supporting characters in this film. But again, everyone gets a lot of mileage out of every line and on screen moment. The sheer volume of talent in this film is amazing.
Where the film fell a bit short for me was some holes in the actual plot. While we get a taste of Michelle Darnell's back story, we never really get any idea of why families rejected her. It's hard to tell if Darnell was a ball-buster from a young age or if the numerous rejections turned her that way. The audience is never told why the families that adopt her bring her back to the orphanage time and time again. I would have also liked to have seen more of a developed relationship between Claire and Darnell that shows why Claire would stay as an assistant to such a difficult woman for such a long time. Claire's motivation that she is a single mom is not enough of a motivation for her to stay in an awful job that actually keeps her away from her daughter.
Where The Boss brilliant was in the comedic performances, as well as in the love/hate/lust relationship between Renault and Darnell. Dinklage and McCarthy have fantastic on-screen chemistry and play incredibly well off of one another.
I watched this film twice. I watched the unrated version first and then the theatrical version. While the unrated version had some extra scenes and funny moments, the theatrical version is tighter. Besides the rated and unrated versions, there are some great extras which include a gag reel, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, a behind-the-scenes featurette called "Peter Dinklage Gets To the Point" which details the martial arts training Dinklage did for his role, footage of the original Michelle Darnell sketch from The Groundlings, and the story behind the comedic history that the cast has together from The Groundlings.
The Boss (Unrated) Combo Pack comes with a Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD.

Use Tapping to Relieve Stress, Clear Negative Emotions & Feel Safe April 22, 2017
Filed under: Tapping to Relieve Stress & Clear Negative Emotions — chocophile @ 2:08 pm
Have you heard about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping? Nick and Jessica Ortner recently hosted the Ninth Annual Tapping Summit which explored many possible ways this method helps you deal with stress, physical issues, anxiety, grief, guilt, depression, relationships, work challenges, parenting, and trauma. All of these benefit from Tapping’s almost-immediate calming of your nervous system.
It’s amazing how pairing negative experiences and emotions with a calm body allows you to engage the thinking part of your brain, the pre-frontal cortex where clearer ideas are generated. When stressful experiences (in or outside your body) trigger your sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or freeze) it’s almost impossible to think rationally. The limbic system, the area of the brain that produces emotions and stores long term memories, reacts to new information much faster than the thinking part of your brain; so, you can get emotionally hijacked before you are able to think things through.
Tapping allows you to quickly calm the body sending messages to your limbic system that you’re safe. It also ratchets down the production of adrenaline and cortisol (stress hormones). Once you’re calmer you can figure out what to do.
Paradoxically, the first things you tap on are negative thoughts or feelings. Next are your bodily sensations. This is allows you to fully acknowledge what bothers you and to clear it before tapping on your resilience, strengths, and positive intentions.
At first, Tapping looks a little weird. You tap on a series of meridian points. Here’s a video to explain the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAclBdj20ZU.
YouTube has hundreds of Tapping videos. I recommend Jessica Ortner, Nick Ortner, Brad Yates, and Steve Wells. Tapping may look as if it follows a script, but it actually works best when you substitute your words, based on your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and history for those the presenters use. This takes some practice. A bit easier if you learn the formula first. Tapping can be incredibly creative. It also blends very well with Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), or parts work.
One of the major tenets of tapping is the idea that pairing a calmer body with your negative or upsetting thoughts actually lowers their emotional charge. This enables you to talk about anything without feeling hijacked by your sympathetic nervous system. If you do get upset, take a detour and tap on being upset (how it feels in your body, what exactly those “upset” emotions are, how they might have been triggered in the past, and when you first noticed them). After you calm down, you can go back to where you were with your original topic, or just enjoy the peace.
Here’s a quick primer to entice you to try this potentially powerful technique. It can clear psychological, emotional, and even some physical issues when done regularly.
The physical part of Tapping is incredibly easy to learn, but the accompanying words are harder to master. With practice, you can design your own script. The Tapping Solution website has free downloadable scripts to get you started.
When using led tapping sessions, like those on YouTube or the Tapping Summit, say whatever words feel true to you. Feel free to play around with the way you express yourself so it reflects your beliefs and values, not those of the person leading the session. Be patient, this takes practice. If it seems daunting call a therapist who can guide you based on your unique experiences. It makes all the difference when you customize the practice to you, rather than fitting your thoughts and feelings to someone else’s template. That said, those videos can be a fantastic place to start, both as introductions to tapping and jumping off points for your own work.
If the set-up statement, usually framed like: “Even though…I have this rage towards my boss (for example), I can still deeply and completely love and accept myself,” annoys you because you’re not feeling accepting or loving towards yourself, change it. Try: “Even though…I have this rage towards my boss, I choose to feel calm.” Or: “Even though…I have this rage towards my boss, I can still cultivate compassion for myself.” There’s a lot of room for flexibility and creativity with EFT. You can even just tap and rant, or do the tapping without words while watching TV. It’s also helpful to gently press each tapping point while you take a slow, deep diaphragmatic breath. (Here’s a link to diaphragmatic breathing: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/diaphragmatic-breathing.)
One of the most powerful ways to use tapping is when you find yourself getting tense or upset about something. As soon as you realize your emotional temperature is rising start tapping. You can assess how well the technique works by assigning a number from 1-10 to the intensity of your reaction, whether it’s a physical feeling, like neck tension, stomach clenching, a headache, or an emotion. After a few rounds of tapping reassess your comfort level on that same scale of 1-10. If it hasn’t gone down as much as you like tap until it does.
You can tap on events or experiences from the past, emotions (both past and present), physical pain and your feelings about it, issues in relationships, addictions, things you might be trying to avoid, or current sensations in your body. All will lead you to insights you couldn’t have predicted, as well as a calmer nervous system. The more you practice tapping the greater its impact, since you’re creating new neural pathways that associate tapping, talking, and greater peace.
Some people think tapping on negative thoughts, feelings, or even physical pain, will only attract more misery. Nothing could be further from the truth. What you resist persists. Tapping when you are angry or upset releases its emotional charge, even if what you are tapping on happened decades ago. Bottling up your feelings almost always insures they will surface some other way.

Are we kidding ourselves on competition?
8 thoughts on “Are we kidding ourselves on competition?
1. I’ll have to read this more closely, but before it’s blog expiration in 15 minutes, a true diversification investor, even a very wealthy one, will own so little of each company that it’s not worth it for her to study on, and vote in, any of them. Those who vote and have influence, I would think, tend to be investors who make bets and study that company thoroughly and have a very disproportionate share in it, like Buffet, or a hedge fund.
Now, a big investor could make bets on a specific industry, and then own large proportions of each company in that industry, and really not want competition there, but I haven’t heard of a case of an investor or institution owning an influential voting percentage of every firm in an industry (haven’t looked that much either).
Plus, the senior management largely calls the shots, and they’re massively undiversified, with their wealth, reputation, and well-being really depending just on how their individual firm does. It actually looks a lot better for them that other firms in the industry do bad, and their bonuses can be relative to how other firms in the industry do.
2. I almost cannot believe I read this here! Having come to expect deeply insightful realism, suddenly I’m confronted with a fantasy about shareholder power. Over and over, I read of shareholders failing to reject board recommendations, failing to oust board members, failing to overturn compensation packages, failing, failing, failing! Suddenly shareholders are described with powers boardering on omnipotence and omniscience. Just how often do you think day-to-day operating decisions are decided by boards rather than directly by Executive Management?
I’m reminded of what I think was a New Yorker cartoon depicting two executive types walking past a fortune teller’s shop. On the window it says “Madam Swami Sees All, Tells All.” One executive type says to the other: “Future Hell! I’d give my right arm to know what is happening right now!”
The idea that shareholders generally know what is going on is laughable!
3. The analysis and conclusions only apply to funds that are actively involved in the management of companies that they own, and which can potentially induce collusive behavior among the rivals owned by the fund.. It would not apply to index funds, which are passive holdings, and thus by definition cannot and do not incentivize manages to behave in particular ways.
4. To mgv: Index funds are “passive holdings” in the sense that they don’t actively trade except to mirror the index. They vote. They take positions for and against management. For example: .
To James Kay: Do you have evidence that shareholders are so powerless and/or clueless? Perhaps management (the agent for the shareholders) is just very good at anticipating what is in the interest of their shareholders, so that when alternative proposals are made they usually fail? I don’t fully believe that myself, but it’s not easy to show. Major holders often use services such as to advise them on how to vote, in order to be independent of management’s recommendations.
It’s tempting to say that this result couldn’t possibly be right because shareholders are clueless. But the result doesn’t depend on any shareholder asking for the market to segment in this way. It only matters that the segmentation actually be in the interest of shareholders collectively.
Look at it this way: management has to do something. If it isn’t about self-enrichment (“how much will I pay myself”), management might as well do what will benefit its shareholders. It’s just easier, all else being equal, to benefit shareholders when you can. So you can’t dismiss this result because shareholders are powerless, you have to show specifically why it would be in management’s interest to go against the interests of their shareholders.
1. The evidence is very difficult to collect. One approach would be to comb through the records of the Delaware courts and the newspaper commentaries. If this were my hobby or career, I’d do it, but it’s neither. I’ve been reading business news (almost entirely in the New York Times) for many years and I cannot recall more than a very occasional shareholder initiative that succeeded. I do recall many comments that shareholder initiatives almost never succeed.

Recalloholics Anonymous: A 12-Step Guide to Recovering Our Achievements
My name is Wisconsin, and I am a Recalloholic.
It's been 3 days since I turned in my last 1.9 million petitions.
I am a Wisconsin recall volunteer. I have been active in the movement to take back our state from the first days of the protests against Scott Walker's betrayal of the people and I gave all I could during the recall effort to help in my community. It was exhausting. And I knew I might have some withdrawals, but I didn't realize how soon it would set in. The first couple of days were a blur of euphoria and pride: WE DID IT! WE RECALLED SCOTT WALKER AND REBECCA KLEEFISCH! We have made history. We were all a part of that! I was a part of that. My name is inked forever into that moment and my signature has joined over a million others that we turned into the GAB on Tuesday. We did it! We really did it! WE RECALLED SCOTT WALKER! And REBECCA KLEEFISCH! And SCOTT FITZGERALD! And VAN WANGGAARD! And TERRY MOULTON! And PAM GALLOWAY! WE DID IT!
So. Now what? My clipboard is already getting dusty. My lanyard looks so lonely. What do we do now?
There's a ton of work to be done. We know that. We have to select a candidate, register voters, educate people about the new Voter ID law, get seniors and disabled people to the DMV to get their anti-disenfranchisement cards, elect a new governor. We have to pay attention to all the big-money legislation that is being crammed through right now in the Capitol before balance can be restored. We have to be ready to fight each of these things. But that work cannot be done in a day. We can only make plans, get started, remain vigilant and involved.
But today I am taking a few minutes away from that work to count my blessings, and think of the things that we have achieved in the last eleven months to help me get over my recall addiction.
Recalloholics Anonymous:
12 Steps to Recovering By Realizing What We Have Achieved:
1. We have shown the whole world now knows what democracy looks like (and sounds like). We have given the rest of the country the proof they need to know that when the people stand together and fight back, they do have a chance against the corporate elite trying to buy our government. Democracy means our voices count - and our voices have been heard around the world.
2. We have built solidarity friendships that will strengthen our communities for years to come. For every grievance we share, we’ve found a reason to connect. And it’s a beautiful thing.
3. Scott Walker’s resume now says “future former Governor of Wisconsin” (right above “Education: N/A”).
4. We have learned how to organize, how to act fast, and how to get things done. Even bagpipes now set off our protest reflex.
5. We've changed the discourse. Wisconsin is now a symbol of resistance and citizen action. Even my 5-year-old says “Look! Blue fist!” every time she sees anything in the shape of Wisconsin.
6. We've changed the way we see our state, and our role in it. The people's house is OUR house, and people who had never before entered its doors now call it home. Added bonus: macaroni and cheese pizza is now an official part of every Capitol outing. Thanks, Ian’s!
7. In our occupation of our own future, we sparked a national movement. And people now have irrefutable proof that every vote counts, every voice matters and everyone can make a difference. From Madison to Wall Street, grassroots action works.
8. We finally know all the words to “Solidarity Forever.” [1]
9. We woke up a generation. Kids across Wisconsin think Walker’s first name is “Recall.”
10. We brought attention to the importance of staying alert and the need for citizen watchdogs. We will not make the same mistake again of sleeping through an election, or not paying attention to what's going on in the Capitol. We are awake, and we won't be sleeping again soon.
11. We're braver now, and stronger. We learned that we don't back down, and that knowledge will get us through the next hard phase of making this world a better place.
12. We are changing the future. If 2011 was the year of the protester, 2012 will be the year of citizen action. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and we can’t wait to get started!
Wisconsin, We Did It! video by Nicole Desautels Schulte
[1] Debatable benefit.
1. Let's just think of the 'Recall' as a dress rehearsal for the main event!
2. I like to think we're just getting started. So far so good. But baby, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
3. And more of us will be braver and finally decide it's time to run for office ourselves if we want to be the change we need
4. Yes, Anonymous. I am beginning to think (seriously, not just to have crazy ideas) about running for office myself. It is exciting. I'm going to get involved in everything from a county supervisor race to the Walker recall election, and we'll see where that leads.
5. The actual 12 step program is a difficult process of VERY honest self-examination. It involves a strenuous learning process about self, family and society. It's not a cheesey pep-talk designed to impress your Party friends.
6. I almost put a disclaimer but figured I'd wait until someone spoiled the fun with a preachy comment...didn't take long. I think we've been through a strenuous enough learning process in the past year to earn a cheesy pep-talk. And I look forward to celebrating very soon with my Victory Party friends - I'm not a card-carrying member of any party, but the people on our teams are Dems, Republicans, independents, progressives and loads of people who don't even really care about politics but just want to see a fair and balanced system in place that benefits all of us, not just the top few. Anyone who doesn't see this yet might do well to enlist a more strenuous program of honest self-examination, so thank you for pointing this out.
7. I cannot wait for ''THE MAIN EVENT''.

How do you define the term finance? Definition and features
Finance is described as the money management field associated with liabilities and assets allocation. In other words, finance is a term which is broad enough to explain tow associated actions. One is the real acquiring procedure for the required funds and the knowledge of the way funds are managed. At its most elementary level, it deals with money management efficiency as business management.
When taking account of the plural form of finance, finances include funds of an individual, business and government and other liquid resources of govt. It is important to comprehend the origin of word ‘finance’ in order to better understand its role in our day to day life. If the origin of finance is traced, we come to know that the history of finance goes back to the history of human life on earth. What we get to know about finance is ‘the act of providing money for something’ is finance.
So, it is all right to say that finance is a branch of economics associated with the allocation of resource investment, acquisition, and management. When talking about finance activities such as forecasting, lending, saving, budgeting, borrowing, and investing and so on. Often under conditions of uncertainty and risk, finance explains the system and study of fiscal instruments, investments, and money, for sure.
Financial systems are made up of assets and liabilities, banking, the oversight of money and creation, investments and credits. So, finance student studies all these disciplines thoroughly. A branch of applied economics is often linked to financing when explaining the various categories of finance.
Finances mean money needed to run something for instance; the factor had to be closed on account of a lack of finances. In the 18the century, the term ‘finance’ primarily belongs to the French word and is still being used in American and British English.

Deviated septum
Classification and external resources
A CT image showing a congenitally deviated nasal septum
Nasal septum deviation or deviated nasal septum (DNS)[1] is a physical disorder of the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal septum. Some displacement is common, affecting 80% of people, most unknowingly.[2]
It is most frequently caused by impact trauma, such as by a blow to the face.[3] It can also be a congenital disorder, caused by compression of the nose during childbirth.[3] Deviated septum is associated with genetic connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome, Homocystinuria[4] and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.[5]
Only more severe cases of a deviated septum will cause symptoms of difficulty breathing and require treatment.[2]Symptoms of a deviated septum include infections of the sinus and sleep apnea, snoring, repetitive sneezing, facial pain, nosebleeds, difficulty with breathing,[6] and mild to severe loss of the ability to smell.[7]
The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage in the nose that separates the nasal cavity into the two nostrils. The cartilage is called the quadrangular cartilage and the bones comprising the septum include the maxillary crest, vomer and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid. Normally, the septum lies centrally, and thus the nasal passages are symmetrical.[8] A deviated septum is an abnormal condition in which the top of the cartilaginous ridge leans to the left or the right, causing obstruction of the affected nasal passage. The condition can result in poor drainage of the sinuses. Patients can also complain of difficulty breathing, headaches, bloody noses, or of sleeping disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea.[8]
It is common for nasal septa to depart from the exact centerline; the septum is only considered deviated if the shift is substantial or is adversely affecting the patient.[3] Many people with a deviation are unaware they have it until some pain is produced. By itself, a deviated septum can go undetected for years and thus be without any need for correction.[3]
In mild cases, symptoms can simply be treated with medications such as decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal spray. Medication temporarily relieves symptoms, but does not correct the underlying condition.[9] Non-medical relief can also be obtained using nasal strips. A cure to symptoms related to septal deviations is available in the form of a minor surgical procedure known as a septoplasty. The surgery is performed quickly (lasts roughly 1 hour) and does not result in any cosmetic alteration or external scars. Recovery from the procedure may take anywhere from 2 days to 4 weeks to heal completely.[10] Septal bones never regrow. However, if symptoms reappear they are not related to deviations. Reappearance of symptoms may be due to mucosal metaplasia of the nose.[11]

\begin{theorem}
Let $n!$ be the factorial of $n$.
Let $p$ be a prime number.
Let $\mu$ be defined as:
:$\ds \mu = \sum_{k \mathop > 0} \floor {\frac n {p^k} }$
When calculating $\mu$, the easiest way to calculate the next term is simply to divide the previous term by $p$ and discard the remainder:
:$\floor {\dfrac n {p^{k + 1} } } = \floor {\floor {\dfrac n {p^k} } / p}$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
From Floor of $\dfrac {x + m} n$: Corollary:
:$\floor {\dfrac {x + m} n} = \floor {\dfrac {\floor x + m} n}$
which is valid for all integers $m, n$ such that $n > 0$.
In this instance, $m = 0$ and $n = p$, while $x = \dfrac n {p^k}$.

2014 Hyundai Santa Fe India first drive
Bertrand D'souza | Updated: March 03, 2014, 11:10 AM IST
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a premium SUV that had at one point outlived its shelf life when the price bracket it existed in got run over by the Germans. At a similar price point people preferred the brand value of BMW or Mercedes or Audi over that of Hyundai leading to a slow death for the Santa Fe. In an increasingly crowded space and one that will only get even more crowded shortly the Santa Fe just does not make sense. Curiously enough Hyundai India isn't willing to let go of the Santa Fe, it just isn't willing to pull the plug and after having driven it myself, I can see why they are so adamant.
So I'm going to skip the history of the Santa Fe and where it came from and what it did. All I will mention here is that it came into the Indian market, did extremely well in its initial years and then sales literally just fell off a cliff. Shift focus to 2013 and Hyundai showcased an all-new Santa Fe whose design language is an extension of Fluidic Design called the Storm Edge. Its is a highly evocative tag for a design form that instantly helps identifies the Santa Fe anywhere in a crowd. It simply stands out, makes people gawk and steal second glances. The interesting bit is that the design of the Santa Fe is literally teetering on the sheer edge between bold and loud. One wrong stroke of a pencil in a designer's hands and it could easily have been ostentatious and noisy. Instead its a superb shape that lends a whole new character and stance. Its graceful, strong, full of character and hard to miss! It is without a doubt a damn good job on the outside.
Move inside and the high notes continue to sound off what is essentially a good design but also typically eschewing what Hyundai has shown off in their sedans and hatchbacks. The interiors look crisp and modern and stylish though I personally am not a big fan of those swoops lines and would much prefer some more solidity. Everything also isn't positive in here and there are definitely some areas that could have been treated in a less miserly fashion. I'm referring to the centre infotainment screen that enables touch control but is such a small display it almost feels like someone is correcting their mistake. In a SUV this large it looks ridiculously out of place and definitely demands a rethink and execution.
The Santa Fe is a generously large SUV and seats seven passengers in three rows of seating. The last row is generous enough but because there is very little height to the seats you basically sit with your knees touching your chin. The middle row can be adjusted for reach and that only complicates matters in the last row. Ideally that space is best reserved for children. When not required the last row seats fold into the boot area and this provides generous boot volume which can further be expanded by folding down the middle row of seats. The driver's seat is the only one to get power adjustment while the passenger has to manually adjust his seat.
There will be three options offered to the customer, there is one manual transmission variant and two automatic transmissions. The engine in all three is the same, a next generation R series engine that has been worked on to enhance efficiency, reduce friction and provide better NVH than before. So the engine is the new 2.2-litre CRDi unit that delivers 197Ps of max power and two torque outputs. In the manual you get 420Nm of max torque but the automatic gets around 16Nm more, both between the same 1800-2500rpm. The new generation common rail direct injection diesel displaces 2199cc and its a quick and responsive engine. Having said that I must also comment on the noise within the cabin, despite the claims of NVH being up to date, you can definitely hear enough of the diesel engine clatter. An electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger kicks in early enough to ensure power delivery is linear and immediate.
Where efficiency is concerned, Hyundai claims 14.74kmpl for the manual and 13.01kmpl for the AT, these being ARAI figures. 1800bar rail pressures pumping fuel through piezo-electric injectors, the electronically controlled variable geometry turbo, swirl control valves and and electronically controlled EGR ensure that the fuel efficiency is optimised.
I did not get to drive the manual and while is obviously the more fuel efficient variant, what is apparently becoming increasingly clear is that a lot of customers in the past have opted for the automatic transmission Santa Fe. That explains why Hyundai is sort of giving the manual version the step motherly treatment. In this case the automatics also get all the bells and whistles while the manual is more of a basic or lesser specced variant.
Both transmissions however have six forward ratios and the automatic adds a manual shifter to the equation. So the automatic is remarkably easy to drive. Even the automatic shift quality is surprisingly agile and not slow. Power is derived instantly and acceleration as a result is brisk and hurried.
On the chassis front there have been several updates giving it a more secure feel. A MacPherson strut at the front and multilink suspension at the rear gives it better dynamics than before. There is still a fair amount of body roll but what I did like is that it is well controlled and measured. Never did the Santa Fe feel like it was losing comfort or getting too hairy. Of course there are a host of safety nets to reign you back in but still its a very decent handling SUV.
With the chassis also come a few other changes. The steering for instance can be set up to match the effort you want to put in. So a comfort mode makes the steering light for urban duties, a normal mode adds some more weight while a sport mode significantly increases resistance in the steering feel while also making it more precise.
On the drivetrain front the manual transmission variant is available only as two wheel drive with torque applied to the front wheels. The automatic has two options, there is a two wheel drive and a full time four wheel drive variant. The four wheel drive variant I drove largely employs 2WD in normal driving cycles. However when the need arises in slippery tractionless conditions, torque is spread between all four wheels to enhance stability and get you out of tricky situations. A host of other driving aids also come in to play such as a traction control system, vehicle stability management and electronic stability control. You also get hill start assist and hill descent control, the latter if which can be activated through a button on the dashboard.
So yes the Santa Fe continues to be just as good as it always was, and the improvements to every aspect make it a much more rewarding purchase. And that brings up the big question, at 26 lakhs for the base variant ex-showroom Delhi stretching all the way up to around Rs 30lakhs for the top of the line variant is the Santa Fe truly value for money? Look at it like this, if you weren't looking for badge value there is hardly anything in this segment that offers you the luxuriousness, styling, ride, handling and performance that the Santa Fe has to offer. Of course you could buy a German luxury SUV but take it from me, there really isn't much difference. The German brigade in fact offers stiffer suspension setups that aren't suited to Indian road conditions, they cannot seat seven and they definitely don't have the richness of features the Santa Fe can offer. To me that is definitely better value, even though there is still a shred of doubt at the back of my head. The Santa Fe is a well endowed SUV but it might just not be a hot item at the box office!

YOY/YTD Comparison (School applications)
Gaylon Alfano
Update: Hello, Johanna Knapp, I attended your session during TC18 and just now got around to this problem again. You suggested that I mention you in a thread. Appreciate your help when time permits!
Hi Tableau community - I've been searching, reading, and experimenting with several of the suggestions mentioned here on the forums regarding how to calculate YOY and/or YTD comparisons. One thread that came up again and again is this one (certainly worth the read if you haven't yet): YOY YTD Bar Chart My situation is similar to the one shared in that thread. However, I need to take my calculation one step further.
I'm trying to compare YOY/YTD applications submitted for various grade levels throughout a given year and be able to further break that down academic years. A common question I encounter is: How many applications did we have for Grade X, at Y point in time, for Z school year? For example, let's say a standard academic year starts in mid-August and ends around mid-June. However, applications can be received at any time and for current or future school year (e.g., currently we're in the 2017-2018 school year but today received five applications - two for this school year, three for the 2018-2019 school year). I've attached a workbook with some sample data to give you an idea.
On the first viz, I went through the steps outlined from the link/thread above. However, I need to break it down one more level to the actual school year, which I'm finding difficult to do. Our applications have a "Date of App" date field and our school years are essentially the "Sheet" field that Tableau generates.
You'll see that I've tried a few different methods but so far to no avail. I've even tried to use the viz in tooltip feature, but can't seem to get it to show a running total breakdown by grade as one alternative way to answer the main question (see screenshot and/or workbook viz). The tooltip only displays the total applications for the selected month instead of showing the running sum of applications by grade up to that point in time.
Sigh. Clearly much more to learn but thank you in advance for any tips/advice/suggestions. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9679352641105652}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '105532', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:PO47IWFED6KMW5NSFNZRY727MTI6LQH6', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3fff66cc-7786-4183-aa31-11dae828ba84>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 4, 4, 1, 38, 16), 'WARC-IP-Address': '204.93.79.205', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5IU555QHBUR33Y3SMJK6RP36LYJ6DNHB', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:56f32133-d659-4c8b-bcb7-5a9c33286b1b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://community.tableau.com/message/758543', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:845bd674-444e-44c3-9928-6f2937105bc9>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '384', 'url': 'https://community.tableau.com/message/758543', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-16\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March/April 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-155.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': '0.07395941019058228', 'original_id': '1d3922aaf065ffe676b035d1c568c638d67989c18f412b16ad2e249033cb49ba'} |
Life Coaching
My philosophy as a coach is that you deserve the life you choose.
Because you always have the choice.
I am a certified professional coach and my coaching is around values, strengths, and energy levels. I help professionals and individuals in their daily decisions as a manager, an entrepreneur, a job seeker.
I coach in English and in French and I use a methodology around Energy Coaching that empowers people to dig deeply, honestly, and objectively into their energy and mental programming in order to assess who they are and who they want to become.
I adapt my coaching and my tools to my client. Each coaching session is different. With my coaching, I guide and clarify what my client wants, I work with them on plans and I follow them to be sure they do what they planned to do.
I am here to help you choose the life you dream of because you deserve it.
Life circumstances happen and they don’t determine your happiness. They are part of your life as the feelings are part of you, but they don’t define you.
As a Life Coach, I will help you go through difficult moments, bumps in the road, and choose the life you deserve.
Tough events happen in life. Break-up, divorce, the loss of a friend, of a family member, or a pet, a brutal layoff, a disease. They are big transitions in your personal life or your professional life.
When you go through a difficult event, you can feel sad, angry, upset, lost, hopeless, and so many other feelings. You can also think that it is the end of your life and that you will never see the light again.
As a Life Coach, I work with men and women who are transitioning after a life-changing event and I help them make choices in accordance with their values, so they will not regret them.
I will help you make choices related to your own values and your own experience, without judgment. Because you are unique and you deserve a life that you choose.
I found this quote very powerful and relevant when you are going through dark events. “In order to know the light, we must first experience the darkness.” – Jung
Your own experience or your education can tell you that you need to be strong, that it’s life, that life goes on… The way you are seeing this event is your choice. The way you are accepting your feelings and living in the moment is also your choice. What you’re going through is very personal and no one can understand. You are unique.
No matter the feeling you are experiencing, it is a feeling that you need to experience. There is no right or bad feeling.
My work as a Life Coach is to help you live this moment and create the life that you want, despite the obstacles that life will put in your way. Living the moment doesn’t mean that you will not feel sad or angry or lost anymore. It means that you will recognize that these feelings are part of you but they don’t define you. And that life goes on, anyway.
Grief is a common aspect of all these difficult events. You have your life before and after this loss. Grieving is a long road.
Sometimes it means that you abandon your innocence. You are realizing that some dreams are not possible anymore, you are afraid of the future. All these feelings and statements can be on your mind right now. It is hard but your real life can also begin as you’ve experienced very powerful feelings that can knock you off balance.
From my personal experience, I know how hard it is. You are surrounded by people who have no idea what you are going through and are trying to help you.
As a Life Coach, I am here to listen to you without judgment. I will build a safe place where you will be able to be true. We will work together on your present and future life that follows your values and the person you truly are.
Together, we will move forward to a life full of colors, like a rainbow after a warm summer storm. Because after each storm you always have a colorful rainbow.
Let’s work together to build your beautiful rainbow life!

San Antonio, San Luis, Batangas: Historical Data
Full transcription of the so-called “Historical Data” for the barrio of San Antonio in the Municipality of San Luis, Batangas, the original scanned documents at the National Library of the Philippines Digital Collections not having OCR or optical character recognition properties. This transcription has been edited for grammar, spelling and punctuation where possible. The original pagination is provided for citation purposes.
[p. 1]
Part One: History
The present official name of the barrio is San Antonio. There are several other names by which this barrio is known. To the people of the neighboring barrios, the names Sampa ang Pungol are more popular than San Antonio. It is popularly called Sampa because formerly it was just a sitio of Sampa, a barrio north of this place. Its present official name was selected by the barrio folks in honor of Antonio Cabrera, one of the oldest residents of the place. He was brave and well-known in the neighboring barrios. He was the shield and sword of the barrio. The people of [the] other barrios feared and respected this man so that this barrio became free from raids and depredations which were very common during that time. In memory of this man, this barrio of [Sampa’s] folks decided to name this place San Antonio when the place was given full barrio-hood. They affixed the word San to show their love and respect for Antonio Cabrera who had done a great deal in the preservation of peace and order in the community.
Not only one family settled first in this place. The original settlers there were the Cabrera, Marasigan, Segunial and Rodriguez families.
The different tenientes who headed the barrio in the order of their terms are the following:
1. Bartolome Cabrera, who served for nine years.
2. Simon Labapiez, who served for three years.
3. Vicente Marasigan, who served for five years.
4. Leonardo Cabrera, who served for four years.
5. Doroteo Cabrera, who served for ten years.
6. Martin Rodriguez, who served for twelve years, and
7. Arsenio Rodriguez, who is the barrio lieutenant at the time of writing.
The Spanish regime did not give rise to any unusual incident in this barrio. But with the coming of the Americans, the people realized the value of education. The residents sent their children to schools in the neighboring barrios which were able to establish their own schools. They also learned the value of suffrage. Because of the decrease in illiteracy, the people acquired a better economic and social status. Better methods of farming and animal raising were given emphasis.
It was during the latter part of the Japanese occupation when the people suffered great hardships. They were forced to work in cotton plantations under the supervision of the Japanese. The planting of staple crops was neglected because of the great emphasis given by the Japanese to the planting of cotton. Added to these sufferings was the commandeering by the Japanese soldiers of the staple crops of the residents of the barrio. This was also true with the fowls and work animals. They were taken from the barrio folks at the point of the bayonets. Education was neglected because the parents did not like to send their children to school for fear that they would meet cruel Japanese soldiers while crossing ravines. The fear of the Japanese soldiers was so great that the people worked even under the heat of the midday sun. With the slave-like working conditions of the people and the scarcity of food, many of
[p. 2]
people became sick. The timely arrival of the American liberation forces saved the people from a worse fate.
With the end of World War II, the lives of the people became easier. When the government was turned over to the Filipinos, once more measures for rehabilitations and improvement were undertaken. Under the leadership of Mayor Felix Aseron, the incumbent Mayor, the San-Antonio-Muzon road was widened. Money from the municipal government was used for this purpose. This proved to be a blessing to the people of San Antonio as they could transport their products very easily to the provincial road in Muzon. The people learned the use of commercial fertilizer, hence there came a great increase in food production. The sanitation of the barrio was greatly improved through the initiative of the schools. Now, illiteracy among the young is unknown. Education has become so popular in the place that there are now professionals and many more are pursuing their studies in Manila and in the capital of the province.
Part Two: Folkways
Traditions, Customs, and Practices in Domestic and Social Life
When a woman is giving birth, no person is allowed to stay at the door as it will make the delivery hard. The woman who is delivering must lie parallel to the altes [altar?] of the floor. During the delivery, the mother is assisted by a local midwife called “hilot.” There is usually a man who assists the “hilot.” He is known locally as the “salag.”
When the delivering woman is having a hard labor, all trunks, cabinets and other closed furniture in the house are opened. The people believe that this will lessen the hardships of the mother. At present, some people in the barrio avail themselves of the services of a physician when the mother is having a hard labor.
Immediately after the child is born, the husband or any other person in the house kills one or more chickens. This is a sign of gratitude for the delivery of the child and as an exchange for the life of the child who has newly come to this world. The chickens are cooked and neighbors are invited to the party.
When the child is a first-born, the maternal and paternal grandparents of the child usually choose the godfather or the godmother as the case may be. But with the other children who follow this first-born, the father and the mother make the selection.
In this place, there are usually two rites for baptism which are followed. When the child is weak and sickly or when the parents are still saving for a great feast during baptism, usually there is a buhos. This rite is officiated by the local recognized religious head. Water is poured over the head of the child as he is being held by the sponsor. At the same time, some words are uttered by the officiating person and the name of the child is uttered also. The second rite is the actual christening in the church. As all the residents of this barrio are Roman Catholics, the officiating official is a priest. If there are several
[p. 3]
children who are being baptized in the church at the same time, the sponsor tries his best to hold the child he is holding higher than the other children. The people believe that the child, when he grows up, will become a leader and will be able to dominate others in all matters. After the baptism, the sponsor tries his best to arrive at the door of the church ahead of the other sponsors.
Courtship and Marriage:
Many of the people of this place still follow the old custom of courtship. A young man shows that he wants the hand of a woman in marriage by serving her parents. He does nearly all the manual labor of the family. He fetches firewood, he gets water, he plows the field, he takes care of the family’s work animals and he does a thousand and one chores besides. When the young man finds favor in the eyes of the parents of the girl, the young man is allowed to continue his services. But when he is looked upon by the parents of the girl with disfavor, he is not allowed to continue his service. This period of services is a sort of test on the character of the young man. This service continues until the eve of the marriage. The girls are so obedient to the wishes of their parents that often they are married to men who have not openly expressed their love.
When the parents of the young girl favor the services of a young man, they set a certain date for the “bulongan.” This bulongan is a conference attended by the parents and relatives of both parties to set the date, the wedding details, the dowry and the sponsors of the wedding. In this bulongan, the parents of the young man prepare hot drinks and sumptuous food to be brought to the house of the girl. Before the details of the wedding are taken up, there is drinking of hot drinks and eating first. At this stage, sometimes there is a disagreement between the two parties and the marriage is put off. But when the parents of the young man can comply with all the wishes of the parents of the girl, then the marriage will take place.
At the eve of the marriage date, all the things which are needed for the wedding are brought to the house of the girl. People carrying pots, glassware, china, pickles, bundles of firewood and animals to be slaughtered can be seen going to the girl’s house like a procession. In the afternoon of this day, the animals are slaughtered. In the evening, supper is served to all the persons who come to help and to the neighbors and relatives who have been invited by the girl and her parents. We can see that the feasting starts before the wedding date.
In church, when the couple is being married, the people watch closely the candles which have been lighted for them. If one of the candles blows out during the ceremony, it means that the person to whom that candle has been dedicated will die earlier than the other. The girl or the man tries to step on the feet of the other because they believe that by doing this, they will dominate over the other
if they will be the first to do so. After the ceremony, each of them tries to go ahead of the other in going out of the church for the same reason cited above. When the newly-married couple arrives at the house of the girl, raw rice is showered on them. The old folks believe that this will always be in harmony through their married life.
[p. 4]
After all the persons present in the party have eaten, the “sabugan” or giving of gifts, usually in the form of money, to the couple by their relatives and friends is done. The “sabugan” is accomplished in this manner: The couple sits side by side or opposite each other. On the table before them are plenty of cigarettes. The relatives and friends of the bride give their gifts to the groom while the relatives of the groom give their gifts to the bride. The two parties try to outdo each other in the amount of money they can give. Every donor of a gift is given a cigarette in return. After all have given their gifts, the man wraps the money and he hands it over to the bride. This amount becomes their joint property.
After the sabugan, there is “lipat.” The bride, in the company of the relatives of the groom, goes to the home of the husband. It is seen to it that no immediate kin of the bride goes with her. The groom is left in the bride’s home to help in [the] tidying up of the place. He follows his wife the next morning. The couple stay in the man’s house for four days. After the fourth day from the date of marriage, the couple can return to the home of the woman.
When a person in the barrio dies, nearly all the people of the barrio come to offer condolences to the bereaved family. They try to help defray the burial expenses by giving a certain amount of money which they call “pakandila.” At night, many of the people come to watch over the dead. The watchers while the hours away by conversing with each other and by playing games.
For eight consecutive nights after death, a novena in honor of the dead person is held. In this novena, neighbors and relatives come to pray. After the eighth day of prayer, a feast is held again where all the neighbors, friends and relatives are invited. Another prayer is held again by the group of persons who come. Another feast is performed again during the first anniversary of death. This is called the “babaan” or “babaang luksa.” This “babaan” is preceded again by eight consecutive nights of prayer. In this “babaan,” all immediate kin of the deceased change their mourning clothes, which they have worn for one year, to gaily colored dresses.
As the population is one hundred per cent Roman Catholic, nearly all the dead are buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery. Some are buried in the municipal cemetery because the interment here is very cheaper.
When a dead person is brought down a house for burial, the persons carrying the dead see to it that the dead is brought down feet first. After the dead has been brought [down], all the windows of the house are closed and a dipper of water is thrown outside the window.
After the coffin has been lowered in the grave, the children of the dead person are made to step across the open grave. A small amount of soil is thrown by the other relatives inside the grave before it is covered up.
In any kind of festival, the people spend lavishly. Much food is prepared in anticipation of the coming of guests. Even the poorest family tries to prepare plenty of food.
[p. 5]
Myths and Legends:
Christianity has been so deeply rooted in the minds of the residents of this barrio that they believe in the theory of creation. Their belief is that God is the creator of everything. No explanation about the theory of evolution will be accepted by the people. The legends which are circulating now in the barrio about the origin of things are those which have been prepared by local students as a part of their school work. An example of such a legend in the vernacular follows:
Ang paskuwa ay isang halamang nagpapahiwatig na ang pasko ay nalalapit na. Kung sumasapit na ang buwan ng Disyembre at unti-unti nang lumalamig ang panahon ay mapupuna natin na ang dahong luntian ng halamang ito ay nagiging pula. Bakit kaya pumupula ang dahon ng halamang ito kung nalalapit na ang pasko?
Noong kauna-unahang panahon, nang malikha na ni Bathala ang daigdig, ang mga halaman at mga hayop ay isinunod naman niyang nilikha ang isang lalaki at isang babae, sina Malakas at Maganda. Nang makita nina Malakas at Maganda ang likas na kagandahan ng daigdig ay gayon na lamang ang kanilang tuwa. Sa kanilang katuwaan ay naglibot nang naglibot sila at lahat ng bagay na kanilang makita, maging hayop, ibon, kahoy, o halaman ay binigyan nila ng pangalan. Tanging isang halaman lamang na may luntiang mga dahon ang nakaligtaan nilang binyagan.
Nguni’t sa kabila ng kaligayahang tinatamasa nina Malakas at Maganda ay lubha naman silang pinahihirapan ng matinding init ng araw. Sarisaring paraan ang ginawa ng dalawa upang sila ay makaligtas sa init na ito. Nanligo sila sa batis nguni’t hindi naman maaaring maghapunan na sila sa tubig. Kumakanlong sila sa lilim ng mga kahoy nguni’t hindi rin itong lubusing makapawi sa init na kanilang nararamdaman.
Lumipas pa ang maraming mga araw. Isang araw ay naramdaman na lamang nina Malakas at Maganda na unti-untin nang lumalamig ang panahon. Gayon na lamang ang tuwa ng dalawa. Sa kanilang kaligayahan ay naisipan nilang mag-alay kay Bathala upang maipakilala nila sa Dakilang Lumikha ang kanilang kasiyahan at pasasalamat sa malamig na panahong ipinagkaloob sa kanila. Kumuha sila ng isang halaman na siya nilang iaalay kay Bathala. Ang halamang kanilang nakuha ay iyong halamang nakaligtaan nilang bigyan ng pangalan.
Ang dalawa ay lumuhod ng matuwid at magkadaop ang mga palad na inusal nila ang kanilang dalangin at pasasalamat. Nasa harapan nila ang halamang kanilang iniaalay. Sa kanilang pananalangin ay nagulat sila nang biglang magdilim ang daigdig. Isang nakakasilaw na liwanag na nagmula sa sa langit ang nagpapikit sa kanilang mga mata. Isang malakas na tinig ang gumimbal sa katahimikan. Narinig ng dalawa ang mga sumusunod na pangungusap: “Sasainyong mga puso ang kapayapaan mula ngayon. Kayo ay aking pinagpapala. At pinagpapala ko rin ang halamang iniaalay ninyo sa akin. Ang tanda ng pagpapala ko sa halamang iyan ay inyong masasaksihan sa pamumula ng kanyang mga dahon. Mula ngayon ay kung makikita ninyo na namumula na ang mga dahon ng halamang iyan ay nangangahulugang hindi na malayo ang “taglamig.” Nawala ang nakakasilaw na liwanag at muli na namang nagliwanag ang daigdig. Sina Malakas at Maganda ay nagmulat ng kanilang mga mata. Ang akala nila ay isa lamang panaginip ang kanilang narinig.
[p. 6]
Nguni’t nang makita ang halamang nasa harapan nila ay saka lamang sila naniwalang hindi pala pangaginip iyon. Nakita nilang unti-unting pumula ang dahon ng halamang alay nila kay Bathala. Lalo pa silang nagpasalamat sa Lumikha.
Lumipas pa ang maraming mga siglo. Maraming-marami na ang mga tao sa daigdig. Dumating ang mga Kastila sa Pilipinas. Ang mga Pilipino ay naging binyagan na. Sa kagustuhang matutuhan ng mga Kastila an gating salita ay ipinagtatanong nila sa mga Pilipino ang ngalan ng mga bagay na kanilang nakikita.
Isang araw ay isang Kastila ang naakit ng kakaibang kulay ng mga dahon ng paskuwa. Itinanong niya sa isang tao kung ano ang ngalan ng halamang iyon nguni’t walang maibigay na pangalan ang napagtanungan. Isinalaysay na lamang ng taong iyon ang pagkakapagpala ni Bathala sa halaman. Sinabi pa rin niya ang tinig na nagsabi kina Malakas at Maganda na nagsasabing sasapuso ng lahat ang kapayapaan.
Nang marinig ng Kastila ang salitang kapayapaan ay naka-isip agad siya ng isang ngalang angkop na angkop sa halaman. Kanyang sinabi sa kanyang kausap, “Ito ay halaman ng kapayapaan kaya’t tatawagin nating Paskuwa. Ang salitang paskuwa ay isang salitang Kastila na nangangahulugan ng kapayapaan.
Mula noon ay tinawag nang paskuwa ang halamang ito.
1. Sa init sumasaya, sa lamig nalalanta.
Happy in the heat, in the cold is withered.
2. May ulo, walang tiyan, may liig walang baywang.
With head, without stomach, with neck, without waist.
3. Iisa na, kinuha pa, ang natira ay dalawa.
Only one, still was taken, but still two were left.
4. Buto’t balat nguni’t lumilipad.
Bone and skin but it flies.
5. Takbo roon, takbo rito, hindi makaalis sa tayong ito.
Run there, run here, could not leave where it stands.
6. Nang umalis ay lumilipad, nang dumating ay umuusad.
Flyign when it left, dragging when it arrived.
7. Hayan na, hayan na, hindi mo makikita.
There it is, there it is, you don’t see it.
8. May liig, bibig at katawan, walang paa at kamay.
With neck, mouth and body, but with no feet and no hands.
9. Hinila ko ang bagin, nagdilim ang kabundukan.
I pulled the rattan, the mountain became dark.
[p. 7]
1. Ang tunay na kaibigan, sa gipit nasusubukan.
2. Ang taong nagigipit, sa patalim man ay kumakapit.
3. Ano mang tibay ng piling abaka, nalalagot din kung nag-iisa.
4. Ang walis ay sumasabog, pagkalagot ng buklod.
5. Ang bayaning masugatan, nag-iibayo ang tapang.

7. Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo.
8. May taing ang lupa, may pakpak ang balita.
9. Magpakahaba-haba [man] ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang urong.
10. Ang lumalakad ng marahan, matinik man ay mababaw.
11. Ang lumalakad ng matulin, kung matinik ay malalim.
12. Ang kita sa bula, sa bula rin nawawala.
13. Ang hipong tulog, natatangay ng agos.
14. Pag nagtanim ka ng hangin, bagyo ang aanihin.
The present generation of this place has no trouble in the measurement of time. Most of the youngsters have their own watches. In some houses, there are wall clocks. But to the early inhabitants of this place, they had a different way of measuring time.
There are some plants, like the patola, whose opening of the flowers tell the time. When its flowers open in the afternoon, it is already four o’clock, so the old folks say. The crowing of the roosters at night tells the time accurately to a person who is well-versed in the habit of this fowl. During the daytime and the sky is clear, the sun is the best guide in telling time. At night, the position of the moon and the position of some stars like the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross tell the time, too. Even birds like the cuckoo and insects like the katydid are utilized by the old folks to measure time. We can see that in the absence of timepieces, nature has devised ways and means to help the people in the measurement of time.

A window shutter is a solid and stable window covering usually consisting of a frame of vertical slats and horizontal rails (top, centre and bottom). Set within this frame can be louvers (both operable or fixed, horizontal or vertical), solid panels, fabric, glass and most any other item that can be mounted within a frame. Shutters may be employed for a variety of reasons, including controlling the amount of sunlight that enters a room, to provide privacy, security, to protect against weather or unwanted intrusion or damage and to enhance the aesthetics of a building.

\section{Exponential Growth Equation/Special Case}
Tags: Calculus, First Order ODEs, Differential Equations
\begin{theorem}
All solutions of the differential equation $y' = y$ take the form $y = C e^x$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Let $\map f x = C e^x$.
Then by Derivative of Exponential Function:
:$\map {f'} x = \map f x$
From Exponential of Zero:
:$\map f 0 = C$
Hence $C e^x$ is a solution of $y' = y$.
Now suppose that a function $f$ satisfies $\map {f'} x = \map f x$.
Consider $\map h x = \map f x e^{-x}$.
By the Product Rule for Derivatives:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = \map {h'} x
| r = \map {f'} x e^{-x} - \map f x e^{-x}
}}
{{eqn | r = \map f x e^{-x} - \map f x e^{-x}
}}
{{eqn | r = 0
}}
{{end-eqn}}
From Zero Derivative implies Constant Function, $h$ must be a constant function.
Therefore, $\map h x = \map h 0 = \map f 0$.
Recalling the definition of $h$, it follows that:
:$\map f x = \map f 0 e^x$
{{qed}}
\end{proof}

Recommended by Unseen Japan staff - get Japanese games translated to English, Japanese language originals, toys, and more!
(Kyoko HASEGAWA, AFP) – The shock postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has dealt a savage blow to Japan's hotels and tourism industry, already reeling from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Many operators have seen bookings decimated by the virus and had been clinging to the hope that the Games would help them claw back this year's losses.
“This is an enormous shock for us, with sales in many of our member hotels already down by half because of plunging demand for tourism, not only from abroad but also inside Japan due to the coronavirus,” said Shigemi Sudo, secretary general of the Tokyo Hotels and Ryokans Association.
“Many rooms are going to be cancelled, and it will be difficult to fill those empty rooms with new customers given the situation,” he said.
The delay, which came after weeks of Olympic organisers and officials insisting the sporting extravaganza would go ahead despite the soaring number of virus infections globally, leaves the industry in limbo as they wait for a new date to be set for 2021.
Like the rest of the world, Japan's hotel industry has been devastated by the spread of the coronavirus with bookings down by as much as 90 percent year-on-year in the March-April period, according to a survey by the Japan Tourism Agency.
The agency is fielding calls from struggling businesses across the country.
Japan's hotel industry has been devastated by the spread of the coronavirus, with bookings down by as much as 90 percent
“The most frequent consultation requests we've received are about cash-flow difficulties and maintaining employment,” an official told AFP.
Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo's busy Shinjuku district — home to the victorious Springboks during the Rugby World Cup — said it began receiving cancellation calls shortly after the delay was announced.
Its woes are compounded by the fact that a part-time worker at the hotel contracted the virus, forcing a deep clean of the vast building in one of Tokyo's busiest districts.
“We hope to play a role (in hosting visitors for the postponed Olympics), but there's nothing we can say now,” a hotel spokeswoman said.
The Imperial Hotel in central Tokyo had been block-booked by Tokyo 2020 organisers for the original dates of the Games, which were due to open on July 24, and said it was now waiting for guidance.
Even before the postponement it had been struggling with the “grave impact” of a downturn in tourism because of the pandemic, and had slashed its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending this month by 37 percent.
For hotel chains such as Via Inn, the situation has caused unprecedented conundrums in recouping losses and filling hotel rooms.
“Normally we'd be able to collect cancellation fees, but in this case it isn't the fault of our customers, so we can't request that,” a spokesman told AFP.
“I don't know if we can negotiate with Olympic officials about compensation or not.”
– ‘No one to blame' –
Just months ago, JTB, one of Japan's largest tour agencies, was selling Olympic packages bundling trips to Tokyo with tickets. Now they too are in a holding pattern, waiting for guidance.
Tokyo Olympic organisers are aware of the gargantuan task ahead of them, and the many businesses and individuals waiting on their decisions.
Tokyo Olympic organisers are aware of the gargantuan task of trying to reschedule the Games
“I think we are racing against time,” Tokyo 2020 chief executive Toshiro Muto said Thursday at the first meeting of a taskforce convened to organise the rescheduling.
Olympic officials themselves will face a headache rebooking rooms and halls for next year. A decision on the new dates is reportedly expected in the next three weeks.
“Generally speaking, reservations for event halls — for example for wedding parties — start six months to 12 months before,” the Via Inn spokesman warned.
But for all the hardship, there is one silver lining — the prospect of at least recovering some losses when the rescheduled Games go ahead.
“There is no one to blame, and we think the postponement is a better decision than cancellation,” said Sudo of the Tokyo Hotels and Ryokans Association.

Abdul Sattar Edhi passed away on Friday after his prolonged fight with illness following kidney failure, said Dr Abhay, medical officer at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT).
With over 1,800 vehicles, his Edhi Foundation holds the record for being the world’s largest volunteer ambulance organisation.
The philanthropist was brought to SIUT after he had trouble breathing and was subsequently put on ventilator.
“Edhi was admitted to the intensive care unit of SIUT after he had trouble breathing,” Faisal Edhi had earlier said while addressing a press conference..
Faisal and his mother Bilquis Edhi also asked the nation to pray for his well-being.
Earlier, Edhi Foundation spokesperson Anwar Kazmi confirmed that the social worker was re-admitted to Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) after he started to have breathing problems.
“It’s the age factor combined with ill-health that’s creating a bit of a problem for him. His food intake had lessened too, before but it’s got a bit better today,” Kazmi added.
On the other hand Bilquis Edhi said, that the social worker-husband of hers wasn’t keeping too well. “His is the same old position that was before, nothing much has changed. However, when I met him today he was asking for forgiveness from me. I told him, ‘I forgive you a hundred times, but there have been days that I too have troubled you. So please forgive me also.”
On June 28, the social worker and noted personality underwent a successful surgery at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT).
Edhi underwent a 20-minute minor catheter change procedure to clear his dialysis line, which was choked previously. He has been on dialysis since 2013.
The philanthropist was diagnosed with kidney failure in June 2013 and was told by doctors that he would have to be on dialysis for the rest of his life.
Earlier on June 12, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif and his wife sent a bouquet and a card to Edhi, praying for him a healthy and peaceful life.
On June 10, Edhi declined an offer from former president Asif Ali Zardari to be flown abroad for medical treatment.
In the past, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and real estate tycoon Malik Riaz also offered to help Edhi in his treatment but he turned them down as well.
The renowned social worker is loved home and abroad with millions of Pakistanis praying for his health and speedy recovery.
PM wishes fast recovery to Edhi
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said he wishes that the notable philanthropist recovers from his illness soon, Express News reported.
In a statement on Friday, the premier said Abdul Sattar Edhi saved thousands of lives and has served humanity selflessly. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '0c63fe1f381e9e9c63fce779a0877e775d18848d8a5d26d8c39b27fa3fd255f0'} |

President Donald Trump, who ran as a gun-rights advocate, has started to publicly discuss tighter restrictions on firearms following the massacre of 17 people at a Florida high school.
So far he has proceeded carefully, balancing a desire to take action with a desire to keep his political base happy. This week, the president has pushed mostly for modest steps already backed by the National Rifle Association — which is a powerful influence among gun owners in many of the areas that propelled Trump to the presidency.
While Trump's support gives Republicans in Congress more cover to pass narrow gun control measures, it is unclear what action lawmakers will take following the latest in a string of mass shootings, including last week's rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Pressure has increased this week amid widely followed protests and calls for action from students at the school.
Trump may provide more detail on his gun control stance on Wednesday afternoon. The president is scheduled to host a listening session with students, teachers and parents involved in the Florida shooting as well as the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado.
On Tuesday, Trump signed a memorandum recommending that Attorney General Jeff Sessions propose rules banning so-called bump stocks, which can effectively turn semi-automatic weapons into machine guns. The gunman who massacred more than 50 people at a concert in Las Vegas last year used such a device.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also told reporters Trump is open to supporting a bipartisan Senate bill to close holes in the current background check system. It aims to make federal agencies better at following rules that require them to submit criminal convictions to the FBI, which could help stop high-risk individuals from getting guns.
Last year, the Air Force said it had not submitted records that could have stopped the shooter who killed 26 people at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, from buying a gun.
"Whether we are Republican or Democrat, we must now focus on strengthening Background Checks!" Trump tweeted on Tuesday.
Trump tweet
After the Vegas massacre, the NRA said it backed a ban on bump stocks. The organization's legislative arm also signaled its support for the background check policy — though as part of a broader House-passed bill that would allow individuals who have concealed carry permits in one state to carry nationwide.
The White House has also publicly or privately floated some gun rules that could draw the NRA's ire.
On Tuesday, Sanders did not rule out Trump's support for an assault weapons ban, saying "we haven't closed the door on any front." The gunman in Florida and multiple other mass shooters have used some variation of a semi-automatic rifle like the AR-15.
The NRA opposes the policy. The organization tweeted a link Tuesday saying a previous assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 did not contribute to a decrease in crime.
NRA tweet
A 2004 report commissioned by the Justice Department's research arm, however, concluded that the effects of a 1994 ban were "mixed" and "still unfolding" at the time it expired, according to FactCheck.org.
While the ban reduced crimes with assault weapons, the use of other, still legal semi-automatic weapons with large-capacity magazines increased, the report said. Therefore, the report stopped short of attributing a drop in U.S. gun violence to the assault weapons ban.
On Tuesday, Sanders also said age restrictions for buying rifles like the AR-15 are "on the table." The NRA's legislative arm did not immediately comment on where it stood on possible age restrictions. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'e81a439bf8c52e66f9649283524dce032283129c94ec62c8545c4121c9909922'} |

Last weekend we made a trip to the Healesville Sanctuary, which is a large native-birds-and-animals sanctuary about an hour and a half out of Melbourne. It was really nice to get out of the city, and be around trees and birds that aren't pigeons or crows! Even the drive was nice - I liked seeing a bit more of the surrounding countryside.
When we arrived, Celena made a beeline for the dingo pups (she adores dogs of all kinds). Willie and I hadn't been to the sanctuary before, so we strolled around exploring.
One of the highlights for me was seeing the koalas in various states of wakefulness. They look like such characters...

Lunch time!
Siesta time :)
I was also very taken with the echidnas. They're so cute! Kind of like giant hedgehogs, with long snouts.

Hello!
There are lots of different areas in the Sanctuary, connected by paths through trees and across streams. Some of the animals are separated from the public (like the Tasmanian devils and emus), and some roam around in the same space (like the other birds and wallabies).

I couldn't resist posing on a sculpture. ;)
Another really cool thing was the 'Spirits of the Sky' bird show, which Chloe had told us not to miss. A couple of bird-handlers showed off various parrots and birds of prey, tossing food for them to snatch out of the air and letting them glide right over our heads - some people had to duck! A big owl with alarming-looking eyes passed us close enough to touch...
My favourite part of all was the parrot enclosure, where you're allowed to feed the birds by hand. They were amazing and totally cheeky! So stay tuned for part two - I've saved the best for last.

On the way back from Napier, Dad and I collected some Old man's beard or Tree Moss lichen (possibly Usnea arida) from the roadside, so I could use it for dyeing yarn. The old fallen pine branches were practically dripping with lichen, so I couldn't resist grabbing a few handfuls...
(Also by Dad)
I've dyed yarn with lichen before, using what I was able to scrape from Mum and Dad's birch trees. I like the fact that there's no need to use a mordant when dyeing with lichen (less hassle), and I like the earthy/salty/woody smell of the simmering dyepot. On my first attempt I got some lovely warm golden tones, which I used to make a Fibonacci-striped scarf:
My Baktus scarf, from September 2009
Unfortunately I wasn't able to track down the book I'd used as a guide last time, or the notes I'd taken, so my method this time around is probably a bit different! It's a more straightforward process than I used for last year's eucalyptus experiment - I decided to 'cook' the lichen and dye the yarn at the same time, rather than making the dye liquid in advance.
What I did:
I started with 28g of lichen, and a 200g skein of undyed yarn ('Naked' Organic Merino 4ply from Skeinz).
I used a big square of cheesecloth (thanks Mum) to make a lichen 'teabag' tied with string. I poured 8L of cold water into a big stockpot, threw in the 'teabag', and let it soak in the cold water for 1 hour.
Then I added the skein of yarn, let it soak for 20 minutes to make sure it was wet through, and turned on the heat.
I slowly (over the course of about an hour) heated the pot to a very low simmer. I kept the pot at that temperature for an hour and a half, giving the lichen 'teabag' the occasional prod and squeeze with a smooth-sanded stick (thanks Dad), and gently nudging the yarn to ensure a more even colour-distribution.
The yarn didn't seem to be changing colour any more, so I turned off the heat.
The colour was much lighter than I'd hoped - I think didn't use nearly enough lichen for this quantity of yarn! So Dad and I collected more lichen, this time from the birch and prunus trees in the garden. This batch weighed 77.7g (about three times as much as the first batch), and it looks like some of it might be a different variety.
I switched the old lichen in the 'teabag' for the new batch, and left it soaking in the old dyebath overnight (minus the yarn).
The next day I repeated the heating process, letting it simmer very gently for an hour. I let the pot cool completely before retrieving my yarn. I gently washed it with wool-wash, rinsed it again, squeezed it out, and hung it up to dry. The second round of dyeing left the yarn quite a bit darker, as I'd hoped! It has felted a little bit after the abuse of being dyed twice - I must have been a bit too rough with it. It's still usable thank goodness, it was just a bit of a pain to wind into balls.
Not a bad result! I really like the semi-solid effect. I think it will make a very nice shawl or large cowl. :)

Napier's MTG (or Museum, Theatre, Gallery) was a big highlight of our trip, especially an amazing ceramic sculpture exhibition called Mudlark,
full of curious animal and part-human figures. And as a pleasant
surprise, there was Bach music floating through the building, played by
locals on the grand piano upstairs.
We found
something really cool in the museum collection too - a display of old
plant-dyed wool samples, each carefully labelled with the plant and
mordant used. It's really worth a visit, if you're interested in natural
dyeing or the history of fibre-crafts. I immediately started plotting a
lichen-dyeing experiment...
I want to find a copy of this!

Mum and I zoomed around comparing colours and textures, and checking our shopping lists. Meanwhile, Dad took a few photos...
One of the neat things about the shop is the window through to the mill next door, where they spin the yarn:
I
bought a big skein of organic merino yarn to dye with lichen, and a few
more balls of this and that which I plan to use for new designs. :)
Mum and Dad and I spent the weekend in Napier, visiting my brother Jeff and his crew. The last time I visited Napier I was two years old, so it was an interesting trip! There are lots of cool old Art Deco buildings to admire, some great cafés and restaurants, interesting shops, and an excellent museum & gallery. But I'm getting ahead of myself...
On the way there, we found a waterfall. It was ridiculously windy!
After settling in at our motel, our first stop was Jeff & Co's place just out of town. I got to meet their three cute goats, who were surprisingly soft to stroke, and peer at the beehives they're hosting for a local bee-keeper.
Me and my bro (and Mandy the goat)
I met Jeff's partner's parents for the first time, and we all went out for dinner at a cool place called the Emporium. On Jeff's recommendation, I had pulled-pork tacos which were delicious (and rather drippy).
The next day, we went to the museum/gallery, and then to the Mission vineyard to have a look around. It used to be a Catholic seminary, where my uncles studied, so it was interesting looking around the building and all its old photos. A certain family wedding will be taking place there next year, so Dad was scoping out all the good spots for photos.

Abbreviations and Jargon (on the right)
In an effort to help out newer players and make posts more accessible, I've added a section for common abbreviations and jargon that are making the rounds of the internet and that I use in my posts. This'll be a growing section, so I'll be adding new entries as they come up. If know have any commonly used bits of jargon, post it below in the comments and I'll be sure to add it*!
*as long as it's relevant, like come on; "Darth Stryker" isn't a thing**
**no one calls Stryker2 "Darth Stryker", stop trying***

JOHNSTONE’S PAINT TROPHY TO CELEBRATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY
Johnstone's Paint has renewed its sponsorship of The Football League Trophy for the 2015/16 season, taking the premium paint brand’s partnership with The Football League into its tenth season.
The 2015/16 Johnstone’s Paint Trophy will begin during the week commencing August 31 with the 48 competing clubs from Leagues 1 and 2 split into the traditional Northern and Southern sections. The competition will conclude on April 3 at Wembley Stadium with the winners earning up to £124,000 in prize money from a record fund.
The Football League’s Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey said:
“Ten years of continuous support is an outstanding level of commitment from a sponsor and I would like to offer my grateful appreciation to Johnstone’s Paint for continuing what is comfortably the longest and most successful sponsorship in the history of this competition.
“The Johnstone’s Paint Trophy remain a great opportunity for League 1 and 2 clubs to achieve their own piece of cup glory and enjoy the financial rewards associated with such success. As demonstrated last season when Bristol City became the first club to win the competition for the third time and along the way earned £700,000 of additional income.”
Jason Metcalf, the Marketing Director of Johnstone’s Paint said:
“We are extremely proud of the way the sponsorship has developed over the last nine years and delighted to be extending the agreement into a tenth season.
“The competition has gone from strength to strength and it was fantastic to have more than 72,000 fans at Wembley for the 2015 final between Bristol City and Walsall in April, an extra special occasion for us as it coincided with the 125th anniversary year of Johnstone’s Paint.
“We are very proud that we have engaged with millions of people throughout the sponsorship and look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with clubs and their legions of fans moving forward.
“The sponsorship has been a huge success story and we are looking forward to working hard to ensure that continues.” | mini_pile | {'original_id': '0268f58d88ad0e5a07d0794033b5eee7022cbee2601a69bf1933f1357474e3be'} |

js-jquery 3.0.0 now out
The js-jquery Haskell library bundles the minified jQuery Javascript code into a Haskell package, so it can be depended upon by Cabal packages and incorporated into generated HTML pages. It does so in a way that doesn't require each Haskell package to bundle its own extra data files, and in a way that meets the licensing requirements of distributions such as Debian.
I've just released version 3.0.0, following on from jQuery 3.0.0 a few days ago. This release breaks compatibility with IE6-8, so if that's important to you, insert an upper bound on the package. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '3', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.895966649055481}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '71076', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:CANNJXYZHXKKVEOHFE3PC66ZUDEUQW6Y', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ee190a7a-e329-4370-85ef-fe277fabffbf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 2, 26, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.193', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SYY4ZYRBTPZLXPD4X5FC4LHBRFBO23NV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:55079c0a-1350-41fb-bb31-46de93de3c96>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2016/06/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:6bf60736-0d81-485f-9a2c-9def27b7d7c7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '103', 'url': 'http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2016/06/', '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': '0.0991828441619873', 'original_id': '4f07baea5794088023e2351845e3b9d470a1bf1882510092dcd8b595d663d552'} |
X And Y Chromosome Expression in Human Preimplantation Embryos
By: Iva Černoša, May 6, 2019
We have already demonstrated how to identify the cell types using marker genes in our previous blog. Today we will apply the same principle to determine the biological sex of human preimplantation embryos sampled by Petropoulos et al. (Cell, 2016) and examine the time of Y chromosome activation.
The data we need for this example is deposited in ArrayExpress database under the accession number E-MTAB-3929 . This single cell data was collected from human preimplantation embryos at different timepoints. We can import it into Orange using the Load Data widget, followed by the Genes widget. Alternatively, you can load the human preimplantation embryos dataset using the Single Cell Datasets widget. Employing the Create Class widget helps us to classificate cells based on the sampling day.
We are now ready to dive into a more demanding task of separating cells based on their biological sex. In order to do that, we need to score cells based on X- and Y-linked genes. We shall start with the Y-linked genes. Firstly, we connect a new Data Table widget from the data we normalised so far and use it as the first input for the Score Cell widget. As the second input, we select Y-linked genes (AMELY , DAZ1, Ddx3y, EIF1AY, KDM5D, PCDH11Y, RBMY1A1, RPS4Y1, RPS4Y2, SRY , TSPY1, USP9Y, UTY, ZFY) in a separate Data Table into which we have imported the genes from the Genes widget.
Distribution widget is the most fitting way to depict the scores.
Observing the outcome, we can quickly deduce that the bar on the far left is representative of the cells with the XX karyotype and the rest represent cells from the male embryos.
To check whether the Y-linked genes are ubiquitously expressed at all stages of preimplantation embryos, we foremost have to elect the cells with the XY karyotype. We utilise the Data Table widget and sort the cells according to their score for Y-linked genes. Judging from the distribution, a good cut off mark for the XY cells seems to lie between 0.1 and 0.2, therefore we select the cells with the score of at least 0.2. The Box Plot widget reveals an increase between E3 (day 3) and E4 (day 4).
As demonstrated by Petropoulos et al. this is due to incomplete zygotic genome activation at E3, since the cells at this stage still contain lingering maternal transcripts.
The best way to visualise the cells, we determined to have XY karyotype, is t-SNE. To separate cells with the XY karyotype from those with the XX karyotype, we use the Select Rows widget. We select the same cut off mark for the XY cells as before: 0.2, then proceed to transfer all the data from the Select Rows widget to t-SNE widget.
In the t-SNE widget we colour cells according to their class, size them according to their score and chose shape to separate the cells with XY karyotype we selected in Select Rows widget from those with XX karyotype.
Samples from all timepoints include male (Yes) and female (No) embryos.
Additionally, we can check expression of X-linked genes to exclude any cells with too low overall expression profiles and asses the possibility of the X0 karyotype. We aproach this the same way as before; by selecting X-linked genes (AMELX, DDX3X, EIF1AX,KDM5C, PCDH11X, RPS4X, SOX3, USP9X, UTX) in a separate Data Table and scoring the cells with them.
Some of the cells seem to have suspiciously low expression of X chromosome. A probable reason for this observation could be that at least one of the embryos in this dataset has X0 karyotype.
To see just how few of the cells exhibit X0 karyotype, we select cells with score of at least 1 in Select Rows widget and use the same displaying options as before in t-SNE widget.
Most of the cells with X0 karyotype (displayed as No) appear to be in the E5 sampling cluster, which is the exact sampling time where Petropoulos et al. identified one embryo with Turner syndrome.
In conclusion, today we have showed how scOrange can be used to sort cells by karyotype and study time of activation of chromosomes in human preimplantation embryos.

Pallisco marks milestone
August 18, 2010
Times Leader
It’s even more amazing when it’s a person that reaches 100 years of age.
Country Club Retirement Campus in Bellaire recently helped resident Mary Pallisco celebrate her hitting of the century mark.
Pallisco, one of newest residents at CCRC, was born Aug. 6, 1910.
She was born in West Bellaire to Louis and Serfina Fusco, living there until the age of 4. The Pallisco, along with her mother and three brothers, moved to Italy.
They lived in Italy until Mary was 8 years old, during which time World War I was being fought.
The entire family returned to the United States on the Dantelire.
While on the ship, Mary and her brothers played by hanging their feet off the side of the vessel, with Mary losing one of her shoes in the Atlantic Ocean.
She laughed, saying ‘‘she only had one shoe the whole trip because she’d only had one pair.’’
She did receive a new pair when the ship arrived at Ellis Island in New York City.
While Mary was away in Italy, her father stayed back home in Bellaire and built their new house on Taney Avenue. The structure was a duplex so the other half could be rented out and the money used to pay for the whole building.
Even though Mary was 8 years old, she was placed into first grade at West Bellaire because she only spoke Italian. A few of the other students who spoke both English and Italian acted as a translator and teacher for her. She remembers to this day the other children who made fun of her for not knowing English.
She married when she was 15 years old. It was an arranged marriage to a friend of her brother, one Vincent ‘’Jimmy’’ Pallisco.
After failing to be married in St.Clairsville because Mary was too young. So the pair were married in Benwood,W.Va.
The couple had three children, sadly losing one.
The other children were Helen and Louis. Louis has passed on and Helen is married with Children.
Mary has five living generations in her family, making her a Great-Great-Grandmother.
Mary and Jimmy were married for 53 years when he passed away. She has lived by herself the last 21 years before coming to reside at CCRC.
She refers to the other residents as her neighbors and says she’s very happy..
A small family party was held for her at CCRC and on Aug. 7, she celebrated with a party with friends and family at the West Bellaire Community Center.

Q:
State space representation involving derivatives of input
We have the system $y''=-7y'-12y-u'-2u$
If we choose $x_1=y,x_2=y'$ we can write the system as
$x'=Ax + Bu \\ y= Cx$
Finding A is easy, but how do I find expressions for $B$ and $C$ when we have derivatives of the input in the expression?
A:
Set $x_1=y$, $x_2=y'+u$ then
\begin{align}
x_1'&=y'=x_2-u
\\
x_2'&=y''+u'=−7y′−12y−2u\\&=-7(x_2-u)-12x_1-2u\\&=-12x_1-7x_2+5u

What is the future of augmented reality (infographic)
Augmented reality might be fun for now, but the technology has a serious future.
Virtual and augmented reality are growing technologies, and not just in the video game industry, where they are projected to make an annual revenue of $11.6 billion. From healthcare and real estate to live events and education, AR and VR are changing the way we live, work, and learn.
As Forbes journalist Charles Fink says “We’re still 5 to 10 years from everyone walking around with AR/VR devices, but the technology is accelerating at a huge pace.”
VR allows potential home buyers to tour properties through a headset before the property is even finished being built, while AR allows those building homes to look at what a certain type of cabinets would look like in their new homes before they are ever installed. The “Street Peak” realtor app lets users point their smartphone at a home and access all MLS information, a breakthrough in property data accessibility.
AR and VR are entering the retail space, giving brick-and-mortar shopping a run for its money with open-air pop-up stores where users can view products. Clothes shopping is less of a headache with the FX Mirror and Memory Mirror, AR mirrors that simulate what you would look like in an outfit. There are even nail polish manufacturers using AR to allow people to try on a shade before buying.
Healthcare is also being revolutionized by AR. With the help of products like Accuvein, doctors and nurses will be able to find veins and insert IVs on the first try, a task that medical professionals only get right 60% of the time.
Travel and leisure are also seeing surges of innovation with the rise of augmented reality technology. Google Expeditions bridges the gap between education and travel with virtual field trips to anywhere in the world without leaving the classroom. Travel apps like Wikitude are the future of vacation optimization, recommending the best spots to eat and stay.

It is often said there are two types of forecasts…lucky or wrong!
Institute of Operations Management
roger-martin-fagg-200x300There are two main types of forecasters: Hedgehogs and Foxes. Hedgehogs know one big thing; they have an all encompassing world view and look for facts which confirm what they already know to be true. Foxes know many little things, they are eclectic in their data sources and nuanced in their judgements. Hedgehogs command more attention but foxes make better forecasters.
We humans long for certainties but we know we cannot have them. I will make some guesses for 2016 and show you how lucky or wrong I was for 2015. I am a hedgehog.
I have copied and pasted the italic piece below from my February 2015 update.
Forecasts made in Jan 2015
There will be no increase in interest rates in 2015 CORRECT .
I forecast 2.7% UK GDP for 2015
I forecast OIL at $35-$40 for 2015. WRONG: AVERAGE $46 for 2015
I forecast £-$ in the range of $1.50-$1.60, CORRECT. AVERAGE $1.52
I forecast £1 = €1.26 but with volatility. WRONG AVERAGE €1.33 .
I forecast strong USA recovery, it will strengthen to 3.4% . WRONG: LIKELY TO BE 2.4%
I forecast 1% GDP growth for the Eurozone. THIS WILL PROVE TO BE CORRECT WHEN ALL THE DATA IS IN.
I forecast UK inflation at 1.8%. WRONG: GOODS AND SERVICES +0.85% FUEL AND FOOD -0.8% OVERALL CPI +0.2%
I forecast UK average house prices at 3-5% WRONG : ACTUAL 5.2%
A look around the World
The Conservative party will win an outright majority of between 4 and 10 seats in the UK
The hottest growth region will be ASEAN countries averaging 6% CORRECT
The Middle East will slow sharply as a consequence of social unrest, low oil prices, and war CORRECT
Brazil will struggle. Its offshore promised oil bonanza now in question. CORRECT GDP -3%
Venezuela will implode. CORRECT
Russia will shrink 5% WRONG GDP -3%
China will continue to slow down, settling at around 4-5% GDP and punch its weight in the South China Sea CORRECT
India should see a surge in growth to 6-7% CORRECT
Australia much slower growth, a weakening dollar, but she’ll still be right mate! CORRECT
Mexico will grow around 1.7%, the fall in the price of oil is the main depressant. WRONG GDP +2.3%
Companies who borrowed cheap USA Dollars are faced with a significant increase in financing cost as the US Dollar rises against the basket of world currencies. The IMF say 1.8 trillion dollar loans are affected. There will be significant weakness in the Indonesian Ringit, the SA Rand, the Argentine peso, the Brazilian real. CORRECT
The collapse in commodity prices is hurting companies in the value chain, and the banks who have lent to them CORRECT
Overall Conclusion
The US and UK banking systems are now fixed. The EU system will mend more quickly with QE but it will take a couple of years.
Oil importing countries will grow faster than the big macro models forecast, oil exporting countries will contract by more. Notice that for China and the USA the effect is broadly neutral. WRONG ON OIL IMPORTING CORRECT ON OIL EXPORTING COUNTRIES.
Headmasters Report
It has been a patchy performance: welcome progress in some areas but underperforming in others.
The following is a quote from my 1961 grammar school report: for most pupils there is a strong correlation between ability in music and maths. Martin-Fagg has proved to be an exception.
I scored 100% in music and 7% in algebra. Both subjects were taught an inspirational music teacher who unable to teach us algebra! He was unable to answer any sensible question such as what is the point of algebra and who invented it. Like so many 12 year olds I switched off completely.
Now for 2016 forecasts
The UK
Although earnings growth slowed in November I expect earnings ( ie wage growth plus overtime and bonuses) to be between 3% and 4%. This is because there are now 2 vacancies for every unemployed person. Employers will want to keep good staff and raise salaries to do so.
Please note that if CPI inflation stays below 1%, then earnings growth at 2.5% or more will increase real wages at least in line with long run trend.
I expect CPI inflation to be +1.5% by the end of the year ( domestically produced goods and services rising by +2.5%, but Chinese origin goods falling by 5% due to a further devaluation of the Rnb.
The reason is straightforward: with the higher minimum wage, labour shortages, and auto enrollment pension contributions, labour costs will be increasing at around 6%-9% depending on the sector. It is doubtful efficiency can be increased enough to compensate. So prices will be raised.
I expect real GDP to be +2.2%. However if there is an early referendum in July with a vote to stay in, then I expect 2.6% as post vote investment spending will pick up again.
I expect nominal spending to grow by +3.7%; within this consumer spending will be +4.5%, investment spending will slow sharply by big corporates because FD’s, after an unusual surge in optimism, are now reverting to type and have become more cautious.
The external trading account ( the balance of payments) will be continue to be a drain in our flow of spending. And the uncertainty over Brexit weighs on funding and investment choices.
I expect base rate to rise in April by 0.25% and again in October by 0.25%. The reason is this. Assuming the velocity of money is reasonably stable( ie consumer confidence doesn’t collapse) then the rate of growth in liquidity today will drive nominal GDP within 9 months, and price increases within two years. I expect the Bank of England to argue in April that they are increasing base rate because liquidity growth( ie money held in current and deposit accounts plus national savings) will drive spending. The will also state that the weakness of sterling particularly against the dollar represents monetary loosening, and that an increase of 0.25% will strengthen sterling sufficiently to offset this. And as the economy moves towards full capacity prices will increase. The chart below shows liquidity growing at 6.2% in August last year. We await new data due in February.
Sterling will be $1.40 up until March, then $1.48 before reaching $1.50 by year end.
Sterling will be €1.30 up until March then €1.36 before reaching €1.38 by year end. ( assuming ECB continues its programme of QE)
Please note the above assumes the Government is able to show the nation that the future of the UK is best served within a reformed EU. If it fails in this and there is a media frenzy for Brexit, we should expect a sterling crisis. Generally I do not think it sensible to buy currency forward. However as this year progresses if you have currency exposure then it would be prudent to fix if it looks like the nation might vote to leave.
House prices; Nationwide average +5%, London sub £3 million +7%, but top end speculative property prices I expect to fall by another 10%, the bubble has been pricked by changed expectations from Russia, China and Hong Kong.
Government revenues should rise by £30Bn and its spending by £20Bn, thus the deficit will fall by £10Bn but the Government will still be spending 50Bn more than it is earning. This is still an expansionary fiscal stance, in no way can it be described as austere.
The press is full scare stories concerning the growth in credit: personal debt in growing at 8% per annum. 2.63million new cars were sold in 2015. Ford say that 94% of all sales were bought using Personal Finance Contracts. Credit is money, it drives activity.
Apart from Greece all Eurozone members are now growing again. Spain and Ireland are doing really well, France is not. The whole migration issue has clouded the fundamentals which have improved. The Brussels based European Systemic Risk Board is operational with a remit to limit systemic contagion if a bank fails. It requires banks to hold more capital if their loan book is viewed as risky. It is of interest that at present Norway and Sweden are the only countries with banks required to hold an extra 1% under the new rules. The UK has it’s own rules which are tougher.
There is a tendency to forget that the EU is the biggest, richest single market on the planet. Per capita nominal GDP is $35,000 ( China is $ 7,500 and the USA is $52,000)
Because it is rich and aging its growth rate will never be above 2.5%, but it will consume the broadest range of goods and services.
The ECB continues to create new money by purchasing bonds from the market which has reduced bond yields to below zero for countries like Germany. And the Euro has weakened particularly against the US dollar. A weakening currency automatically boosts the margins of exporters which will boost share prices. It is all part of the monetary expansion feedback loop designed to raise the inflation rate vis growing confidence, spending and output.
It is clearly working.
Over the past six years monetary expansion through quantitative easing in the USA, UK, EU and China has driven share prices above earnings growth ( the evidence is higher than long run average P/E multiples). Apart from China and the EU, no further QE is expected. Thus share prices will either stabilise and wait for profits to rise to justify the price or will fall to match the current level of profits. Given the return on bonds is so low it is likely that share prices will pause rather than crash. The FT 100 is down 5% for the year 2015, but this is almost all due to oil and mining stocks which have crashed.
So far this year we have seen China’s failing economy and stock market crash infecting other stock markets. This is absurd. The Chinese stock market does not reflect the realities of China’s economy, it is merely a casino driven by credit availability. We can expect it to be volatile and on average significantly overpriced.
The FT 100 P/E since 1990 compared to the average P/E
The Footsie is on a P/E of 16.7 compared to 15 long run average this implies an overvaluation of 7%. But if we take the cyclically adjusted P/E which averages company profits over 10 years ( the cycle is typically 7 years) it has averaged 20.8 since 1983. Today it is 14.9. This suggests the market is undervalued!
As 80% of Footsie profits are earned in dollars, a further weakening of sterling against the dollar will boost reported earnings and is another reason to suggest that rather than fall further, it will stabilise around 6000. The yield is 3.4% which is better than most if not all cash deposits.
Please note that the most frequently traded shares are traded by machines which are pre-programmed. This always causes a decline in price to gather momentum until a floor is reached, at which point the machine issues buy instructions and the momentum is upwards. The major stocks are not moving based on human assessment of risks and realities. All the algorithms will be out of date, based on assumed, historic drivers of share prices. Hold tight, the markets will recover as quickly as they crash.
The major stockmarkets have been valued beyond fair value for years. And it is reasonable to expect low or no growth from levels established in the middle of last year, that is until corporate earnings rise to catch up with the valuation. Personally my SIPP is mostly equities and I am sitting tight.
My regular readers will know that I have been bearish on China for quite a long time. The evidence is now clear, China is finding it difficult to transition from a capital investment led growth economy to a services based system where human capital rather than physical capital creates the added value we call economic growth. Every country in history has found this transition difficult, we should not be surprised.
However the Chinese authorities are going inflict pain on the rest of the world as they try to mitigate the impact on themselves. They will probably devalue their currency by 10-15%, they will allow state owned enterprises to sell at prices close to marginal cost, they will prop up failing financial institutions, and they will get VERY upset when the west begins to raise tariffs to protect domestic producers from dumping.
This is a major risk to the global economy. I would have expected the EU to react more quickly by raising tariffs. And I would have expected it to be a keynote session at Davos this week.
An angry and upset China could do some stupid things in the South China Sea this year.
These are known, unknowns!
The Rest of the World
The rebalancing of the global economy continues in favour of the more mature economies, this trend has been underway for nearly 5 years and it is continuing. Overall I expect the world GDP to grow at 3%. The pessimists think the Chinese slowdown, plus falling commodity and oil prices will cause the global system to struggle. Spending power in the global system is shifting back to the ‘old’ mature economies. This will be sufficient to keep global growth going. I do not understand the establishment view that falling oil prices are bad for global growth. Yes there will be real problems for Aberdeen, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and the banks over exposed to US frackers. But there are much bigger opportunities as cheap oil boosts real incomes. Spending power is shifting from oil producing countries who tend to save in huge sovereign wealth funds, to countries who are living beyond their means as indicated by the size of their Government deficit and usually their balance of payments deficit. The UK is such a country. Low oil prices are on balance a sizeable stimulus via increasing real incomes.
The low or no growth economies are Brazil (-3%)Russia (-3%), South Africa 0.3%, China +3% Saudi Arabia
The growth stories will be the USA (2.5%), Japan (2%), Europe (2% including the UK), India 7%, Mexico 2.5% , Indonesia 5%
The oil price will stay below $40 unless there is an unforeseen collapse in supply from the middle east due to Sunni vv Sharia vv Isis or some other peculiar unknown!
Some commentators are using the oil price as evidence of a sharp drop in demand due to faltering growth. They are wrong. Oil consumption in the USA rose 6% in 2015. The price drop is due to excess supply which is in turn due to Saudi Arabia determined to keep its market share. Eventually the Saudis will see their plan is a mistake, but I guess it will take time. Meanwhile enjoy $30 a barrel!
The biggest risk to the UK this year.
The biggest risk is the run up to the referendum on EU membership and a possible exit.
In my judgement this is top of the risk to growth list. It has the potential to cause a recession and then a lower rate of growth thereafter.
In brief.
The UK runs a trading account deficit with the rest of the world. This has to be financed. It can be financed by stable long run capital investment in the UK from international companies, ( something we have enjoyed since the early eighties because we are inside the EU external tariff wall). Or by spending our reserves of foreign currency ( we have about 6 months supply). Or by attracting short term financing ( requires higher interest rates). Or by devaluation. Or a combination of the above.
If we lose long term investment inflows to other EU members then we have to resort to short term financing and interest rates have to be used to keep the flow up. This would be a disaster for growth. Imagine interest rates rising to 5% in 2017.
On the street, people believe that if we leave we can control our borders. This is only true if we no longer wish to sell to the largest market in the world ( currently 15% of our GDP is derived from selling to the EU).
If we want to have access to the EU markets, we have to abide by the 4 freedoms, one of which is the free movement of labour.
Norway is not a member of the EU but it has access to EU markets. It has 7.38 EU migrants per 1000 population.
Switzerland is not a member of the EU but is also has access to EU markets. It has 11.33 EU migrants per 1000 population.
The UK is a member of the EU it has only 2.48 EU migrants per 1000.
These facts will never be written in the Mail and probably not in the Mirror and Sun. Their combined readership ( paper and online is 33.5 million).
If we vote to leave.
Firstly we would have to adapt most of our legislation to remove the EU directives. EU treaties with the rest of the world would cease to apply to the UK. This would take up to 10 years.
Secondly we would need to negotiate with the EU on the future of the 2 million Brits who live there.
Thirdly under WTO rules we would have no right of access to EU markets our goods and services would be subject to tariffs. We would have to make significant payments as do Norway and Switzerland to gain access.
Fourthly we would have develop trade with the rest of the World. Current EU trade deals cover 60 countries and 35% of world trade. These would no longer apply to us, we would have to start from scratch and we would be up against the EU’s much bigger bargaining power. It could take 20 years.
Given how long it takes to agree trade deals on a bilateral basis, I would guess we would have years of economic misery before the deals were in place to allow us to trade.
Over the next six months, if the UK press and media report that an exit is a growing likelihood, then we must expect a sterling crisis.
This would take sterling to $1.20 or below and € 1.10 or less. I do not usually recommend buying currency forward, but if you are exposed, do it now. 21 Jan 2016

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) _ Serb officials on Tuesday freed 23 ethnic Albanians just outside of Kosovo in the largest single release of such prisoners in weeks, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
The prisoners, including two women, walked from Serbia to Kosovo across the Merdare border. They were accompanied by Red Cross officials, who took them to meet family members in the Kosovo capital, Pristina.
It was unclear whether the prisoners had been tried and sentenced, or had been awaiting trial.
Serb troops arrested hundreds of ethnic Albanians while in Kosovo, and transferred them to the dominant Yugoslav province of Serbia when NATO bombs drove them to withdraw nearly a year ago.
Ethnic Albanians have repeatedly demonstrated for the prisoners' release, and promised no peace in Kosovo until they were all freed.
So far, 911 prisoners have been released, but 1,188 remain imprisoned by Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's government. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9792240858078004}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '11299', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GUA6ZQBH4RFDTPVSXEDEHJ2VR6SXCNWZ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d8402636-a78e-4e1a-81f5-e47638647aa0>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 4, 51, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '216.239.36.21', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2JAJMAGNM5SZ5DT5FT2HRFPT7B2ELE3C', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0b116901-0cf8-48a9-ac53-72a4487f4e24>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.apnews.com/amp/22c284e4b4eb6846094de96266fc0bbb', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d6f3baeb-2408-4e62-8c98-1eecd2750f5f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '149', 'url': 'https://www.apnews.com/amp/22c284e4b4eb6846094de96266fc0bbb', '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-10-65-123-119.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': '0.028323113918304443', 'original_id': 'ef0d44398d6126a37e07a6d55096c433e81dd30a5f0d7ea6fba145b0e7b7fd2f'} |
Sir John Waite, co-chair of the commission and a former Appeal Court judge: "We heard worrying stories about the conditions being experienced by some asylum seekers, in particular the scale of the destitution ... The picture that emerged was one of people struggling to live."
- Asylum seekers are not economic migrants. The top ten refugee producing countries in 2006 all have poor human rights records or are places where war or conflict is ongoing.
- The UK is home to less than 3% of the world’s refugees – around 290,000 out of 8.4 million worldwide.
- We're not even in the top 15 of industrialised countries for asylum applications per capita (we were 16th in 2006).
- Asylum seekers do not jump the queue for council housing and they cannot choose where they live. The accommodation allocated to them is not paid for by the local council. It is nearly always "hard to let" properties, which other people do not want to live in.
The Court of Chancery was a court of equity in England and Wales that followed a set of loose rules to avoid the slow pace of change and possible harshness (or "inequity") of the common law. The Chancery had jurisdiction over all matters of equity, including trusts, land law, the administration of the estates of lunatics and the guardianship of infants. Its initial role was somewhat different, however; as an extension of the Lord Chancellor's role as Keeper of the King's Conscience, the Court was an administrative body primarily concerned with conscientious law.build a websiteit support | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'fe26d1ec637d50fd7e158047a4a56c6b7c3a54987686152d801b3fe06bf21d4c'} |

DOC NY '10 Review: 'To Be Heard' Is An Absorbing Look At Urban Life Through Beat Poetry
Photo of Christopher Bell By Christopher Bell | The Playlist October 26, 2010 at 10:03AM
Doc NY, New York's Documentary Film Festival, runs November 3-9. We've got an early peek at a few films.
If there ever was a film that shouldn't work as well as it does, it's "To Be Heard." Following three Harlem Bronx high-schoolers (Anthony, Pearl, and Karina) as they use spoken word/beat poetry to escape their hard-knock life, the movie has "inspirational feel good story" written all over it, and those reading the simple logline are likely to write it off as such. The directors (count'em: Amy Sultan, Roland Legiardi-Laura, Edwin Martinez, and Deborah Shaffer) likely knew this would be the case, and decided to destroy any negative pre-conceived notions with their first shot. The cold opening is a static frame of a drudgy NYC area, first silent with sound gradually coming until settling at a high volume. It appropriately sets the atmosphere; that of a cold, crowded city that's easy to get overwhelmed or left behind in. It's a very unconventional, impressive way to open a movie, and it's effective in its simplicity and strength. After the title fades in, we are introduced to the characters, the self-titled 'Tripod,' as they spout off a poem together. The energy is absorbing, and from here on out the film is a consistently engaging experience.
The tripod, despite sharing an identical interest and vaguely similar living situations, have their own unique difficulties that they must overcome. Anthony is stubborn, leading him to trouble with authority figures including those in school. Pearl deals with issues regarding her appearance and must hold a job in retail to make ends meet. Karina and her mother constantly fight (READ: brawl), she often finds herself kicked out of the house or living in a terribly tense dwelling. While the leads are certainly in bad situations, the film-makers smartly avoid a gigantic pity-party, lending much respect to their subjects and their lives. The camera is nothing but a bystander, capturing life without interfering in it (even during the worst moments), and avoiding typical documentary conventions by offering few formal talking-head interviews, instead focusing on interactions and events.
The central setting is a poetry program in their school called "Power Writing," which teaches radical free-form poetry. The teachers there not only encourage them to bare their souls through their writing, they also introduce them to various options to further their career, visiting a former member at his current college and taking the class to a poetry slam contest. Outside of class, the film offers us raw experiences, from serious issues like the three discussing Anthony's imprisonment or joyful smaller moments like Karina getting ready for prom. These authentic sequences leave a real dent in the heart because they are so damned genuine; a great example of good documentary film-making. By capturing the absolute essence of their subject and, again, not being too terribly one-sided in their portrayal (aka overly grim and conquering), the film-makers invigorate a story whose power has, over time, waned through overuse by late-night TV shows.
As the three go through their various ups and downs, the energy of their personalities and performances pulsates and dictates the flow of the film. The end comes quickly, and the connection between audience and subject is so strong that an ending to their tale seems almost rude. One of the surprise hits of DOC-NY, "To Be Heard" may seem like it's the same old tired routine, but everyone involved refuses to succumb to mediocrity. [A-]

How to fix the switch on a neon sign? Answered
Hi everyone!
I have one of those nice Heineken neon sign that i've found in a antique shop. I payed only 10$.
The thing is, the guy told me there's a little problem with the switch... I was thinking that I could fix that.
When I opened the plastic box and saw the switch I thought to myself '' how am I gonna fix that''
I bought a switch that you install directly on the wire, looks like the one we have on the wall to open the light in a room. (You know the same kind of switch that has a little 'wheel' that you turn to put on or off).
I need your help dear Instructable comunity, what should I do, and how?
Thanks a million times in advance!!

if u can get th original switch to b always on, then u can switch it off with yer new switch.
Reply 2 years ago
(or jumper to bypass the original switch). Then interupt the circuit anywhere, as u suggested.
Reply 2 years ago
Just bridge the faulty switch and use an in-line switch like you find on lamps.
The thing is, the switch is working but fainthly.. I push very slowly, and then it works, but then if I push further more, it powers off. As we see on the circuit picture, the switch has 6 welding points.
How can I bridge the faulty switch? I have a small welding gun for circuit (not sure of the exact term, but you know what I mean?!) Should I heat up and then remove it? How should I procede?
Thanks a lot !
Can you attach pictures/drawings of the switch and wiring?. What does the switch actually do - one click it locks on or one click to turn on one half of the display or two presses for full brightness - need to figure out what that switch controls to see if it is only a simple on/off switch or something different since it is wired to the neon sign transformers.
It's a double pole, double throw, so I push the switch, click-click, it stays ON, click-click once again it stays OFF. I just want to remove it, to unsoldered it. And then, install a switch on the power cord that you plug on the wall. That's all I want to do.
I can't be 100% certain without actually measuring the switch but it looks like you have two contacts in use.
One side of the switch it fully bridged, the other has two contacts used.
In a normal configuration you have two switching options that are common here:
a) left side closes contacts to the right side
b) middle contact switches between the outer contacts
To remove your switch you first need to find out how it switches, then it would be no problem to replace it with an in-line switch of your choice by simply connected it to the same solder points on the circuit board.
I see what you mean. What should I do now? I can take à video of how he switch works for you to see... What do you think?? The thing is, where I live there's no electronic store where I can buy a replacement for my dpdt switch.
For obvious reasons it would be best to really know what is switched on the circuit board.
If you have no multimeter or similar you can unsolder the switch and use a simple battery and lamp/LED on the contacts in question to see what happens.
Ok, good, I'll do that then. Ill do the troubleshooting after that. Thanks a lot for your help, it's really appreciated.
The switch is welded on the circuit on 6 points. Should I heat that up and remove the switch soni can bypass the circuit? What do you think?
looks like a double pole, double throw. It should be possible to bypass. And FYI, It's soldered, not welded. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9300019145011902}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '56745', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:WRLTTCENVAH3AOUEYHUPCI5QXWH64J36', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ca8737c0-572b-45dd-a47c-51844cf60a95>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 19, 23, 0, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '151.101.201.105', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:R7E23ZGD6C4K22JKHK7SJCJORY53HD7X', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a5f15093-50da-45ae-b146-5e3ecbe039ca>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.instructables.com/community/How-to-fix-the-switch-on-a-neon-sign/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ac0d3751-7241-4de0-842d-973e66eb62ae>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '683', 'url': 'https://www.instructables.com/community/How-to-fix-the-switch-on-a-neon-sign/', '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-10-152-225-239.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': '0.033621370792388916', 'original_id': 'd76dbed3a33a4a1fca73b119e0e7ece7b3d76f0e044b45c1f8636eacf30b1248'} |
(CBS News) Police chiefs' mission is to serve and protect the public from criminals. But across the country, those chiefs are battling bad apples within their own departments.
The police chiefs are finding it nearly impossible to fire some of their own officers, in part because of arbitration and union rules.
When a police officer breaks the rules, or the law, he or she is disciplined, and in rare cases, fired. But often, that's not the end of the story. Officers appeal their cases to state arbitrators, civil service boards, or civilian commissions -- and many times end up back on the job.
In Oklahoma, a police lieutenant was fired for elbowing a handcuffed prisoner in the mouth.
In Omaha, Neb., several cops were fired after beating a man outside a hospital.
And in Philadelphia, a police lieutenant was fired after smacking a woman down at a disorderly street festival. He has appealed to an arbitrator and his chances of getting his job back are good. In Philadelphia, nine out of 10 cops fired by the police chief are reinstated by an outside arbitrator.
It's a problem across the country that is frustrating police chiefs and sheriffs.
Asked if he's fired people and had to have them come back, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca -- who runs the biggest sheriff's department in the U.S. -- said, "Yes, and I believe that that's the process."
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, who served in ranking positions at both the New York and Los Angeles Police Departments, said, "I mean, you've got people out there that you've already come to a judgment shouldn't be out there. And somebody's superseded your judgment. How does that feel?"
Baca said, "Well, it-- it feels that you have no control over your resources to the extent you need to have. That our judgment becomes somewhat nonsignificant (sic) in these certain cases."
In an infamous Milwaukee case, an officer was fired after he was caught on a dashboard camera punching a handcuffed woman in the face. The city's Civilian Police Commission overruled the chief and reinstated the officer. Under pressure from an outraged community, a week later, the police commission re-fired the officer.
In Spokane Wash., the sheriff has fired deputies, only to see them back on the job. Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said, "There's no clearly defined public policy against a law enforcement officer being dishonest."
So Knezovich went to the Washington State Legislature to change the law.
Knezovich said, "The only thing it changes in the law is that if an arbitrator finds that a deputy has committed these crimes, and/or they have been dishonest, the arbitrator can't overturn the sheriff's discipline at that point. As in, they can't say, 'Yes, you committed these crimes, but you're getting your job back.'"
The police unions in Washington State oppose the law. They believe it gives one person too much power. Jamie Daniels, executive director of the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs, said, "This legislation would allow a chief or a sheriff to make an accusation, investigate that accusation himself, be the judge and jury if that accusation was true, and then be the executor of the discipline for that."
But Knezovich believes he is the one person who is responsible for the officers under his command. Knezovich said, "I'm accountable to 471,000 people in Spokane County. They're the ones that will tell me when it's time to back down."
Knezovich testified for his bill in the Washington State Senate. It died quietly in committee without ever getting to the floor for a vote. But he'll try to bring it up again, and chiefs and sheriffs in other cities are watching.

Scrubbing mission
Science | The space shuttle program may be over, but a massive cleanup effort will have to go on
The July 21 touchdown of the space shuttle Atlantis on Kennedy Space Center's three-mile landing strip in Cape Canaveral, Fla., marked the 135th-and final-flight of a NASA shuttle. The space agency has finally scrubbed the 30-year shuttle program, but it will spend another 30 years cleaning up toxic chemicals on the cape after a half-century of rocket launches.
Florida Today, a local paper, reported that NASA records show 267 sites at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station polluted since the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s, including during the earliest shuttle launches. (Today's launches follow strict environmental rules.) The main contaminant, trichloroethylene ("trike"), was a solvent used to clean rocket engines. In the early days of space flight, workers routinely poured thousands of pounds of trike on the ground to evaporate. Later testing showed it hadn't: Instead, it created underground plumes as deep as 90 feet. The breakdown products of trike can cause cancer and birth defects, and may take 300 years to degrade naturally.
The lingering contaminants are separated from Florida's primary aquifer by a layer of clay, but federal law still requires NASA to clean up: It's been spending $4 million to $10 million a year to purify area groundwater. A new method of dealing with the chemicals involves injecting a mixture of iron dust and corn oil into the ground, which breaks trike into harmless byproducts. It's a promising approach, but the cleanup will cost the agency about $96 million over the next three decades.
Judgment calls
Lambreth (AP photo by J. Scott Applewhite)
Two federal court decisions in late July had big implications for scientists. In the first, Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., ruled that federal money can fund embryonic stem-cell research. Lamberth had briefly halted taxpayer funding for the research one year ago after plaintiffs argued such grants were illegal, but in his final decision he deferred to a higher court's opinion. The plaintiffs may appeal, but in the meantime Obama administration support of the controversial research is flowing freely.
In the second case, a federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that human genes can, indeed, be patented, reversing a 2010 District Court opinion that had decided such patents were invalid. The case involves patents that biotech company Myriad Genetics holds on two genes known to predict breast and ovarian cancer risk (see "Ownership stakes," July 18, 2009). The court arguments hinge on whether isolated DNA fragments are markedly different from DNA occurring in nature. The Supreme Court could ultimately weigh in.
Picked poison
The African crested rat, a foot-long rodent with bristly hair and black-and-white stripes, has an astonishing self-defense strategy. It chews the bark of a highly toxic tree-long used by African hunters to coat arrow tips-and smears its mouth along a strip of hollow hairs on its back that absorb the poison. When threatened, the rat flares its fur and invites predators to take a sickening and sometimes lethal bite. Researchers reporting on the rat in Proceedings of the Royal Society B aren't sure why the rodent doesn't drop dead itself.

Things That Never Happen
Monday, August 9, 2010
By dreeves
The Counterfactual News Network?
I love this quote from security expert Bruce Schneier:
Remember, if it’s in the news don’t worry about it. The very definition of news is “something that almost never happens.” When something is so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that’s when you should worry about it.
The truth of that[1] hit home recently when I saw a news feature on the abduction of a four-year-old girl from her front yard in Missouri. Candlelight vigils, nation-wide amber alert, police blockades where every single car was stopped and questioned, FBI agents swarming the house. I think the expected reaction from parents is “oh my god, I need to be so vigilant, even in my own front yard!” My reaction was the opposite: Wow, this sort of thing really does essentially never happen. Let the kids run free!
I’m saying this without a drop of irony. Stranger abductions just don’t happen. You should worry more about your baby boy dying from complications of circumcision (true). What you should actually worry about are the real killers of kids, like driving and drowning. Speaking of which, here’s a valuable public service announcement about what drowning looks like. (It doesn’t look like drowning.)
By the way, if you didn’t hear the news story about the four-year-old girl, it had a happy ending. She turned up unharmed.
The Opposite Story: Things That Do Happen
But speaking of child abductions and drowning, I have to bring up a brutally ironic news story from several years ago.
In summary, a toddler got separated from her caregivers and wandered off, where a passerby saw her. Seeing no one else around, his first instinct was to scoop her up and take her with him. But he decided that that was a big risk to himself — what would people think? — and continued on, reporting it later.
The girl then fell in a pond and drowned.
Just to spell out the heart-wrenching irony: Even though the man made the wrong decision (and should’ve known it at the time) he was correct that helping that girl was dangerous to him. He could’ve been accused of abducting the girl and the accusation, sadly, and insanely, would have been taken very seriously. That needs to change. Remember, child abductions by strangers don’t happen! Picking up a lost child should not be regarded with any suspicion! Arrgh!
This is also why I think these common guidelines parents give their young kids about which kinds of adults to seek help from if they’re lost (store employees, other moms) are misguided and dangerous. The best person to get assistance from is the first adult they find. That adult simply is not going to happen to be a child predator! Put that absurd thought out of your mind.
By the way, the above story happened in the UK which, strangely, seems to be the only place worse than the US with this out-of-control paranoia.
This image defies comment.
But Think of the Children!
Q: Isn’t some amount of paranoia justified when it comes to children? Shouldn’t they at least be taught the difference between good strangers and bad strangers? Shouldn’t we be vigilant about any possible danger?
A: I disagree that children need to learn about “bad strangers”. I teach my kids that strangers are good, period. This is hard to talk about but it’s true: a scary number of kids really do get abused and it’s rarely by strangers. Your kids need to know about inappropriate touching but please don’t muddy that with talk of strangers. (Can you imagine, “it’s ok, I’m not a stranger…” Shudder!)
As for vigilance, it’s a limited resource: focus your energy on the real dangers.
At risk of getting repetitive I’ll re-assert my strong belief: No stranger will ever harm your child. It’s a risk (and, fine, if you want to get technical, it’s a risk, with some positive probability) that you can completely ignore. In fact, I’ll go further and say that maximum vigilance requires that you actively dismiss the idea that stangers can be dangerous. Doing so could prevent, for example, something like the tragically ironic drowning of the girl in that news story.
Q: I heard that there were 5 attempted abductions in Central Park last week. What do you say to that? (This was a real response when this came up on a parent list I’m on, though I doubt the veracity of the claim. The rest of these questions were real too, though most weren’t phrased as questions.)
A: It’s hard to even imagine this number but Central Park gets 25 million visitors every year. With those numbers, impossibly unlikely things will have happened to someone but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to worry about them happening to you. Like when you hear about a meteor crashing through the roof of someone’s house (that’s for real, by the way).
Sticking with Central Park, here’s another real story from this summer: A woman and her baby were posing for a photo under a tree and a branch somehow fell off and killed the child. So that’s a 1 in 25 million chance of getting killed by a tree if you visit Central Park. (The appliances in your house are more dangerous than that.)
More to the point though, what’s an attempted abduction? Is it like this? A stranger talking to a child and the parents freaking out? Even more to the point, if you hear official numbers on child abductions they sound horrifying, until you learn that they’re mostly divorced parents in custody battles. Which should give you pause if you’re a divorced parent, but again we’re back to: know where to focus your vigilance. Think about who has repeated contact with your child, not the stranger in the park.
Q: What if child abductions are so rare precisely because parents are so vigilant?
A: I’m not advocating any kind of extreme disregard for children’s safety. In fact, I’m basically advocating raising kids more like how kids were raised a couple generations ago.
Q: But that was a different time!
A: Yes, it’s actually safer now. You wouldn’t think so from watching the news but crime has been going down for a couple decades and is currently at 1960s levels in the US.
Q: Fine, but what’s the harm in being cautious?
A: Here’s how Lenore Skenazy of Free-Range Kids (highly recommended) puts it:

[1] Sharad points out that Schneier’s quote is a little too glib. The more correct way to say it would be something like “prominence in the news does not necessarily correlate with the magnitude of risk to you”. As xkcd points out, frequency of occurrence in the news overall probably does correlate with actual risk. Sharad adds that there are actually prominent news features you should worry (though this is maybe a different sense of “worry”) about, for example, war and political/corporate corruption.

I love that Schneier quote.
One thing that may be worth adding:
When your child is lost, tell THEM to select the stranger to help them. The odds that any randomly selected individual is a predator is, as we know, astronomical. This also addresses the concern that an opportunistic predator (they are everywhere, right? ;-)) Could seize on a lost child’s situation. This may address some of the concerns that there are real predators, and they do position themselves in positions to access vulnerable children (clergy, etc.) However, you are correct, that in these conditions, they are almost always known to the victims and parents. Still, when the child does the stranger selection, the motive of the stranger is (almost) entirely removed from the equation.
It seems Schneier has some words along these lines too:
In a related note of people and risk assessment, I’m always surprised at how cars continually get a pass in America; everyone freaks out about terrorists and child abductors, while cars kill tens of thousans of Americans, many of them children, with nary a peep. If we really cared about American lives we’d ban cars.
Keep up the good work, Daniel.

Meagan Francis tweeted this post and I love it too. While I’ve always told my kids to find help from “a mom, a police officer or a lady” if they get lost, you’re right…99.9% of men would help them too.
P.S. I caused a minor sensation when I allowed my 5 year old to ride her bike around the block unsupervised. Now I let her cross the street along at a virtual deserted intersection. The horrors!

I love this, particularly as I have been pondering a post on something similar for close to six months.
When I was recently home in Australia for a month’s visit, I was slightly shocked to see young kids and teens everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE on the streets during the day. In groups, by themselves, going to play sport, in parks … Why? They don’t have the paranoia that we have.
I think we American parents admonish each other too much. My fear of letting my kids roam free is due to
a) fear of being seen as a slacker parent, and
b) fear of cars.
Abductors? That so rarely happens. And you are right, a bigger threat to my kids is drowning, cars, my fear (will they ever survive being coddled and cosseted?), etc.
Great post. thank you,

It’s hard to take you seriously when you say things like “Remember, child abductions by strangers don’t happen!”
• http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves dreeves
@Mina: But the statement “babies don’t die from complications of circumcision” seems pretty true, right? It’s the same sort of thing. Some things are rare enough to be treated as if they simply don’t happen even if, technically speaking, they do.
• Mina
No, I wouldn’t say your example is true, either. I don’t believe in hyperbole, and it undercuts a statement when someone states untruths as facts. Some babies do die from complications of circumcision, and some children are abducted by strangers. You don’t have to discount facts to make a point unless your point is weak. I don’t think it is in this case, so you did herself a disservice.
• http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves dreeves
@Mina: That’s a really fair point. Thanks. But consider Peter’s point (first comment) about cars. Isn’t it nuts how people hardly think about that risk, which is literally orders of magnitude higher than child abduction? I feel like people just think about this sort of thing all wrong (though clearly not the ones reading this, based on the straw poll!). It’s like if you have a fear of flying you should repeat to yourself, until you believe it, “this plane is not going to crash”. Technically false — it might in fact crash — but actually true to any reasonable approximation. The US and UK are gripped by such a phobia. So I stand by at least a modified version of that statement:
For all intents and purposes, chid abductions by strangers simply don’t happen.
I’m suggesting that it’s rare enough that it’s literally not worth taking precautions against. Like it’s not worth wearing a helmet when playing underneath trees, even though we know for a fact that a child’s life could have been saved if we did so.
Child abduction is admittedly a bit bigger risk than tree attacks but the cost of the precautions you can take (which involve instilling a fear of people, or a stifling level of supervision) is bigger than the cost of wearing helmets when playing under trees.
• http://blog.oddhead.com David Pennock
I agree with your modified statement. It’s technically possible for all the atoms in my cup to jiggle up at the same time so it flies up off the desk all by itself. Or for all the air in the room to collect in one corner so we can’t breath. But for all intents and purposes it’s impossible.
Though these examples have astronomically smaller chance than even child abductions. When does “almost never” become “never”?
One more thought: in other countries, children of wealthy parents might have a legitimate fear of kidnapping. Or is that overblown by media too?
• http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves dreeves
@David Pennock: Great point about how it’s all relative where you want to draw the line
between impossible and essentially impossible.
Also, great question about kidnapping for ransom in places like South
America. I’ve heard it’s a real problem, but without knowing the numbers,
who knows what that means.
As Sharad just pointed out elsewhere, kids dying from being left in hot cars is a
“real problem”, “record numbers of children dead”, etc:
The numbers seem to be the same order of magnitude as child abductions but there’s a push for legislation on sensors and warning systems for detecting kids left in cars.
The right answer to that is that, sure, we could save a few kids’ lives by requiring these systems in cars but, well, it’s not enough lives to be worth the cost and hassle.
I guess there’s just no way to say that! Instead it will get argued against (assuming sanity prevails at all) disingenuously with things like “it’s technologically infeasible” or “the false alarms and false sense of security could lead to more deaths”. (I mean, come on, if we can put a person on the moon we can make a car that you can’t forget a baby in!)
I’m fascinated by the question of what it would take for it be accepted as conventional wisdom that a human life, even a child’s life, is only worth so much. In one sense, people already understand this. Like going to soccer practice is worth the risk of driving there. That simple, straightforward trade-off is incoherent if the kid’s life has infinite value. It’s also perfectly intuitive to people that NASA-level solutions to the baby-in-a-hot-car problem are too much.
• John Cox
That’s a great quote from Schneier. I don’t have my OED right now, but from what I remember of my History of the Novel (as in the literary form) classes, the word ‘news’ comes from the Middle English ‘newes’ and means ‘something new or novel’. So the questions ‘why is the news so sensationalistic’
is tautological. News is novelty and rarity by definition.
This explains why news outlets have always sucked as sources of well-reasoned, contextualized information. Thinking of them that way is a category error.
Before I learned about this I was really frustrated by the news. You hear all these stories about the triumphant Fourth Estate and how things used to be so much better, but it’s just not true. It’s a projection about the good old days every bit as false as lionizing the morals of the past, or the music from when you were young. CNN and FOX didn’t invent yellow journalism and more than The National Inquirer or The New York Post or The Sun invented the scandal sheet.
This doesn’t make the news less dangerous, though. Our brains are wired so that sensationalism works, and it’s really hard to fault people for selling an effective product. By ‘effective’ here I mean something that people pay attention to, and not something that necessarily informs them. Contextualizing events, like this article does, is really difficult when the human brain is set up to pay tons of attention to the novel, or when it’s set up so that emotional responses shut down rational ones.

Great post! Mina, babies die from SIDS. Does that mean don’t have babies? Our society has a hard time accepting that 1) there are things we can’t prevent, 2) we don’t have control over everything and 3) someone’s always to blame. It’s become, well, outta control.

@Yam Erez, I hate to quash a good flame war in the comments but just to point out, Mina wasn’t disagreeing with the thrust of the post, just objecting to my hyperbole.
@John Cox, great point about the nature of news! I was just talking to Dan Goldstein about what it would take to establish as a journalistic convention the reporting of actual numerical probabilities whenever reporting on risks.

Characters or Story First?
(Please enjoy this cute yet years-old doodle unrelated to this post!)
So I recently put out a journal on another website asking about people's methods for coming up with stories, because I've had a lot of "concept block" lately. (I hardly get "artist's block", I just can never think of what to draw!)
Much to my surprise, many people said they go characters first - as in, think of some characters and then build a story around them, or how they interact.
This surprises me because I have always, always gone story first - Language of Flowers especially was story first, and then characters after. So I wonder, what are the advantages of going either way?
I can say from personal experience that an obvious issue with going concept first is that your characters suck. One or two might be alright, but as a cast they probably suck. This happens to me all the time because when I have a good idea about the story I just want to tell the story already; I don't care who it takes! I don't spend any time thinking about them or how they interact or what they like or any of that other junk. So, should I try to make the characters first?
The problems I see with the characters-first approach: is the story interesting enough to keep people reading? I can think of several artists who I love to bits but whose stories are so complicated, bogged down with all sorts of random/useless information about their characters that I can just not bring myself to care about the story they're presenting to me. Or, they're so excited about their characters that they are constantly posting spoilers for a comic they haven't even't started!
Furthermore, I think a dangerous pitfall, especially for young artists, is treating characters like your "babies" - stories are generally about conflict, and few parents want to see their children in conflict. Sure, you should like your characters, but I don't think you should love them, because in the end it really handicaps what you're willing to put them through. Another thing I see a lot from young artists is divulging every fact about their characters; the stuff you write to help your understanding of the character is not stuff everyone needs to know, and it is especially not stuff that needs to be included in the story itself. Really, we don't care if your characters favorite food is broccoli and he loves to roller skate in his spare time! Unless his eating habits or his spare time is a central/entertaining element to the story, it really doesn't make a difference.
The truth is, no matter how much you love your characters they should move the story along. But your story shouldn't trample your characters either!
How do you guys go about it making stories, and how do you make it work?

New Pens!
So, apparently "Graphic Design Internship" is code for a job organizing CD archives! It is much less artistically draining than I thought it'd be.
Anyways Nikki hooked me up with some awesome pens! It's called "Zebra" something something, its really great! And then a cute super light grey copic marker for shading. The copic looks a lot cooler in real life...
My first time trying out these new pens I felt HARDCORE INSPIRED to try some weird shading, because I hardly ever shade! After watching Gurren Lagaan however many years ago I remember being hardcore into the eyecatches between the commercials or whatever, so I went for something like that for inspiration! It looks a little bit stupid with how soft my style is but it was fun? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.977734923362732}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '29905', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:K7PXHAUMN73GGKTSSGTUQPXWSEGFWSQE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:580a0038-aeb7-4321-85d7-9c00677f2025>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 24, 15, 54, 20), 'WARC-IP-Address': '216.58.218.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WLWZTI4ZMOFRRZQ243552SCXZ5ZS6EUS', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c374d5fc-d026-4217-9b02-73ec3a1c69f1>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://nematodeinspace.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f0ad3f28-68b7-469a-be9d-f9b829c37640>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '741', 'url': 'http://nematodeinspace.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-13\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2017\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03662937879562378', 'original_id': 'da8b9bb6b53cfcef8e87e5df96f9c946565a75b1f4741e62e0bb8bb707412851'} |

Why Do You Think Christianity is True?
Sign Up for Free eNewsletter ››
By John Piper, Christian Post Guest Columnist
January 7, 2010|2:23 pm
The following is an edited transcript of the audio.
Why do you think Christianity is true? What compelling evidence do you see for it?
You can come at the truth of Christianity through several angles of apologetics and reasoning. Let me mention a few and tell you the one that is most existentially real for me.
1) One would be historical. I think arguments can be mounted that are solid and compelling-first for the existence of Jesus, and then for the death and the resurrection of Jesus-to give an account for why the apostles were the way they were after his death.
The arguments that Pannenberg and Evangelicals have developed for the resurrection of the dead-Who Moved the Stone?-type arguments-are strong and have helped many people get over the barrier. Because if Jesus has been raised from the dead, never to die again, and ascended into heaven, then we should take very seriously and credit what he said about himself. So that's one line of evidence.
2) A second line of evidence is called presuppositional. It says that without God and the Bible as an assumption all of our reasoning processes and all of our perceiving processes are not possible.
Follow us Get CP eNewsletter ››
In other words, every time we start thinking and every time we start perceiving, something is happening in our heads which assumes something. And if you're going to have any kind of credible conversation about what you're thinking or about what you're seeing, then you are assuming certain laws of logic, causality, and existence which can't have any absolute significance unless they're rooted in God.
So everybody is talking nonsense, but hardly anybody will say, "We're all just animals talking nonsense." Even those who are total secular, naturalistic evolutionists don't like to be treated like animals.
When a dog barks, I don't assume he's writing poetry. But when a man puts poetry down, I assume he wants me to take him seriously as a human being who has serious meaning there. He doesn't like it if I say, "O that's just chicken scratch!" So he's assuming something unbelievably profound about the significance and the basis of what he's doing, which he couldn't do unless he had a Christian construction of God.
So that's the presuppositional angle. Here's the third one, and the last one that is most significant to me.
3) How do you, when you want to decide if someone's testimony or witness is true? You weren't there. There were no videos. There was no recording. And you have to decide whether what he's saying happened actually happened.
When I read the Bible, that's the way I feel I am. I'm reading Paul, say, the 13 letters of the Apostle Paul. And he's telling me he saw the Lord Jesus, that he was knocked off of his donkey on the Damascus road, saw the Lord Jesus, was commisioned by the Lord Jesus, and now is inspired by the Lord Jesus. And then he interprets all of that in terms of the gospel.
I've got to reckon, "Paul, are you a lunatic? Are you a liar? Or are you telling the truth?" (Those questions are usually used with Jesus: "Are you a lunatic, a liar, or the Lord?") I think it's a good argument, and I use it for the writers of the New Testament, not just for Jesus. I know that I've got Paul right here in my hand, and I want to know, "Are you crazy?"
So when I'm reading the Bible, whether it's the Gospel of John or Romans, I'm asking the question, "How can I credit what's here, both the testimony of the man and the portrait of Jesus?" And I think there is a light that stands forth from the text of the truthfulness of Jesus that is self-authenticating. And there is a kind of character for the writers that stands forth that is authenticating of their solidity and truthfulness, confirming that they're not lunatics or liars.
If somebody said to me today, "Just tell me in 30 seconds why you're a Christian," I would say, "The portrait that I see of Jesus Christ in the Gospels is self-authenticating to me. I cannot meet this man and have him speak like nobody else spoke and not believe him. He wins my trust."
And then if they say, "Ah, but how do you know that that person is not being created by somebody else?" Then I would say, "Then the person creating him is just as phenomenal, and they win my trust. And if they win my trust then they're not lying to me." The Apostle Paul is not a lunatic. I cannot read the 13 letters of Paul and think he's crazy or a liar.
So those two things:
• the self-authenticating portrait of Jesus Christ that I find in Scripture, and
• the character-endorsing way that the apostles write their books and reveal their own trustworthiness.

Properties and Benefits of Clams
Clams are bivalve mollusks that live in both saltwater and freshwater. They feed by filtering water and extracting nutrients and microorganisms for food, similar to mussels, oysters and scallops. Clams as seafood provide important amounts of non heme iron, vitamin B12, healthy Omega 3 fatty acids and protein. They are low in fat and cholesterol and have a moderately low caloric value. Compared to other mollusks, clams are reportedly low in contaminants, although consumption of raw clams can cause food poisoning. Clam meat is a great brain food to combat mental fatigue and brain fog, provides anti-inflammatory benefits and elevated energy levels.
What do clams look like? There are a great number of edible saltwater and freshwater clam species. The typical edible clam has a symmetrical shell made up of two parts joined together at one end by a ligament. Clam shells are usually rounder in shape with a pointier and bumpier edge where the two parts of the shell are hinged. Color varies from species to species. Some species are cream-colored with yellow, brown or gray. Other species are off-white with purple-grayish edges. Most shells have concentric or radiating line patterns with different color combinations and patterns.
Clams properties
Razor clams are a distinct type of edible clams. They are elongated, oblong-shaped and may vary in size depending on the species. They get their name from their shell shape which resembles an old-fashioned razor and due to having sharp shell edges. Shells are often colored in brown, amber, yellow, gray or cream and have concentric lines. What part of the clam do you eat? Basically everything that is inside the shell of an edible clam species is edible. This includes: the meaty abductor muscle called the clam foot which helps the clam bury itself in mud or sand and the internal organs. Some people only eat the abductor muscle and discard the rest, others eat the entire clam.
What do clams taste like? Raw clams are usually eaten whole, meaning you eat both the muscle and other insides. The foot of the clam has a slightly chewy texture and a delicate seafood taste with pleasant fishy, briny and sweet flavors. The rest of the clam has a mushy texture with slight briny, fishy flavors. Larger clams are chewier in texture, while smaller, younger ones are more tender. What do razor clams taste like raw? Razor clams have a pleasant taste with subtle fishy, briny flavor notes and a delicate sweet aftertaste.
Cooked clams taste even better to some people and can be steamed, grilled, boiled, baked, fried or made into soup. Similarly, either the foot of the clam alone or all the insides may be eaten. Overcooked clams become rubbery and may taste like leather. Typically, they require very little cooking. It is recommended to cook clams only until their shells start opening, but remove them from the stove before they open completely so they don’t overcook. Clams that do no open during cooking are best discarded.
Clam chowder is a popular dish made with clams as the main ingredients and thickened with other vegetables, crackers, milk or cream. There are many variations of clam chowder including Manhattan clam chowder (with a tomato broth) and New England clam chowder (thickened with milk or cream). What to pair clams with? Clams may be eaten with lemon juice, extravirgin olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, freshly chopped parsley, other shellfish like mussels, scallops or oysters.
How to open clams? Clams should be left to soak in water with salt for several hours before eating them to remove any sand that may have accumulated inside the shell, then brushed. Refrigerate them for an hour to make them easier to open. Firmly hold the clam in your hand with the hinge towards the base of your thumb and slide a thin knife between the top and bottom shell. Cut through until you reach the hinge, then open the shells and detach the insides with the knife. Place a bowl beneath to catch any liquid and use a kitchen towel or rubber gloves to protect your hand.
Nutrition facts and health benefits
What are the benefits of eating clams? Raw, cooked and canned clams hold many benefits as a result of their excellent nutritional value. Here are the top 4 nutrition facts and health benefits of clams:
1) Rich in protein for building muscle. 100 g of clams contains approximately 25 g of protein, which represents 50% of the recommended intake for the average person eating a 2,000 kcal diet. In other words, clams are one of the best sources of protein to include in your diet. Protein is vital for building muscle and repairing damaged muscle fibers.
Moreover, the amino acids that make up protein have benefits for the brain, helping synthesize neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep and appetite. Meeting your daily requirements of protein means clearer thinking, reduced brain fog, better mood, more restful sleep and enhanced productivity. Also, because they are low in fat and have around 150 kcal/100 g, clams are good for weight loss.
2) Great source of vitamin B12 for brain health. Compare the numbers below:
– 100 g of cooked clams has around 99 micrograms of vitamin B12
– Vitamin B12 RDI (recommended daily intake) is 2.4 micrograms
This means 100 g of clams provides 41 X the RDI of vitamin B12.
Clams excellent vitamin B12 content recommends them as a great brain food, ideal for preserving mental health and cognitive functions. Vitamin B12 helps maintain nerve cell integrity by preserving the myelin sheath protecting the tail of neurons. It is suspected to contribute to lower risks of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and other degenerative diseases of the nervous system. Moreover, the vitamin helps produce red blood cells and contributes to combating anemia and elevating energy levels.
3) Provides healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is a healthy fat in clams and other shellfish, fish and fish oils. It has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits and helps lower bad LDL cholesterol and raise good HDL cholesterol, preventing the formation of plaques inside the artery walls. This contributes to lowering high blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular events such as stroke. Omega 3 fatty acids are good for the skin, hair and eyes.
4) Important source of iron. Clams can be an important source of dietary iron, providing up to 150% of the recommended daily intake of the mineral. On average, 100 g of clams has 28 mg of iron out of the 18 mg RDI (recommended daily intake). Iron is needed to produce red blood cells and ensure proper oxygenation of muscles and tissues, contributing to high energy levels and a general state of physical and mental well-being. A deficiency causes anemia, low energy levels and fatigue.
However, iron content may vary. For example, drained solids from canned clams have less iron because part of it remains in the liquid. Some studies declare the iron in clams has poor bioavailability and is thus not well absorbed (Evaluation of clams as a food source of iron: Total iron, heme iron, aluminum, and in vitro iron bioavailability in live and processed clams). Vitamin C can help boost iron availability from clams and maximize absorption.
Below is an beautiful video depicting clams coming out of the sand at the beach followed by the tide coming and covering them.
Side effects and health risks
The health risks associated with eating clams include:
1) Allergy and anaphylactic shock. If you are allergic to clams or other shellfish, crustaceans or fish, avoid eating them. If you experience allergy symptoms like tingling tongue, rash on skin, itchiness, nausea, vomiting, sudden drop in blood pressure, dizziness, fainting sensation, difficulty breathing and swelling of the tongue, seek medical help immediately. Allergic reactions can culminate with anaphylactic shock.
2) Food poisoning. Clams that have gone bad or are contaminated with various bacteria can cause food poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea are classic signs and warrant a visit to the doctor’s office as soon as possible. All shellfish can be carriers of E coli, Salmonella and intestinal parasites and are most dangerous for children, the elderly and those with a compromised immune system.
3) Contaminants. Although clams are reportedly lowest in contaminants compared to other shellfish, they are still filter feeders, meaning the filter water and thus can accumulate methylmercury, aluminum and toxins from water and marine algae that damage the nervous system. Make sure you get your shellfish from reputable fish markets whose activity is in accordance with sanitary laws. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '16', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.932180881500244}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '35316', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QUOKQ6ZQYVEJ3SXI2V7G23JG4ESZV6SS', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:0cec64ae-617e-411c-aa47-8dfe6e27a77e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 4, 21, 40, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '81.196.117.68', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ZW5P6ED2IZ2A4GADQ6HR3RIMFC7QKM27', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:702ea2ec-9e54-4d7e-92a4-e9e98ce2a61d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.natureword.com/tag/how-to-open-clams/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ac084115-dab8-4ed1-8e12-856a44c2e8ac>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1414', 'url': 'https://www.natureword.com/tag/how-to-open-clams/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-10\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February/March 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-177.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.25878024101257324', 'original_id': 'e8c1c25be739ca384a53a460d66c0f5949eb72f6a1daafc2e952786f7d900d63'} |

Beyond randomized controlled trials in attempted suicide research.
There is a lack of evidence about what is the best treatment for people who present to hospital after self harm. Most treatment trials have been small and involved unrepresentative groups of patients which result in inconclusive findings. Here we note some of the characteristics of attempted suicide which make it a difficult subject to study. We describe the problems of doing randomized controlled trials in attempted suicide and outline the advantages and difficulties of randomized controlled trials, Zelen designs, patient preference designs, and cluster randomized trials in attempted suicide intervention trials. Researchers and consumers should consider other research designs when asking what is effective after self harm. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c3da519052664df3725e0b755700673b463ff3080f34498c6529879909998834'} |

Self Cleaning Oven 101: All you need to know
There are a few dreaded tasks in this life that are time and energy-consuming – cleaning ovens. The remains of your delicious recipes on the bottom of the oven that burns and cause it to smoke every time you use it is an indicator that the oven truly needs to be cleaned. This article will inform you of everything you need to know about the self-cleaning oven. By pushing a button, you are now able to clean your oven, with minimal effort!
What Is a Self-Cleaning Oven?
Ovens Repair Toronto
A self-cleaning oven is an element offered by various oven brands that utilize its ability to burn off any of the spills and splashes caused when cooking and baking. This is achieved through using incredibly high temperatures, up to 400–500°C to help in cleaning. A cycle regularly requires a few hours to finish; and for security measures, consequently bolts the oven shut until it has adequately cooled. The entire process of using the self-cleaning oven leaves behind ash residue which reduces your cleaning of scrubbing and scraping to either vacuuming up the ash or wiping it away.
How Self-Cleaning Ovens Work?
Step 1
Before you start the cycle, make it a point to eliminate everything inside the oven. Remove the pots, pans, baking trays, aluminum foil or whatever else that is that you store inside the oven.
There is no compelling reason to utilize any synthetic oven cleaners on the inward surfaces. Be that as it may, you may have to utilize a solid oven cleaner on the racks when you wash them by hand in your sink.
If you happen to leave your oven racks inside during the cleaning process, when taken out, they will look dull. To revive their look, vegetable oil can be used to re-establish the sheen to the metal.
Step 2
When you have removed items from the oven, the locking system of the oven will be enacted. Although there is a manual locking instrument, for the most part, you should utilize the programmed framework that hooks with an electric engine and the switches. This compulsory lock is a significant security highlight to keep you safe from any injuries and accidents.
Step 3
Before you start the cycle, perceive that it will take roughly three to four hours to finish the cycle. Try to never utilize this element when no one is home. The heat from burning any food and grease can cause smoke which may lead to it setting off your smoke alarm.
During this stage, the temperature inside your stove can reach more than 700° C, a lot higher than is required for cooking. You’ll need to open a window to cool the room and turn on any exhaust fans to lessen the self-cleaning oven fumes and scents noticeable all around.
Step 4
After the cycle has been completed, wait a couple more hours to allow the oven the cooldown adequately enough. You’ll have to eliminate the debris buildup with a wipe or moist material. The area around the seals and edge of the door will require a more careful hand-cleaning – it is recommended to use hydrogen peroxide as this section of the oven isn’t done with the automatic cleaning system.
How Often Should the Self-Cleaning Oven Be Run?
Depending on the manufacturer of your oven, the general idea is to run the cycle month to month to maintain a squeaky-clean oven; or restrict the use to a limit of six times each year. This allows you to save energy and prevents the oven from being overused.
You ought to consistently follow the suggestions from your particular machine manufacturer.
Is It Worth Having a Self-Cleaning Oven?
Comfort- the essential allure of a self-cleaning oven is that you won’t need to utilize your time to use strong chemicals to clean your oven when that could be spent doing something else that is productive.
Saving Energy– your oven is outfitted with additional hefty protection to assist it with accomplishing the high temperature required for cleaning. This is energy efficient as there is not as much loss of heat happening during cooking.
Cost-efficient —It is cost-efficient as it is convenient and saves you time that you can spend on other things. Furthermore, there no compelling reason to buy expensive synthetic cleaners to clean your oven which likewise balances out the price of the oven.
The oven lock system– The door lock on the self-cleaning oven is automatic- it is possible for the lock to glitch due to the heat and causing it to get jammed and remain locked. When this happens, it is required you call a service repairman to get the lock system replaced on your oven.
Thermal fuse– The self-cleaning oven has a thermostat feature that controls the temperature for prime cooking temperatures. The intense high heat from the cleaning system can cause this to break or get damaged, which leads to temperature readings that are not accurate or stops the oven from working completely. When this happens, you will have to call a professional to repair your oven.
Oven main board– Every oven has a main board and wires that controls and allocates the electricity on command to the oven. These can also be damaged due to the high heat of the oven as it usually is at the top of the oven. To repair this can be costly.
Interior parts of the oven– time and thorough use of the oven will affect the components of the oven such as the bulbs and glass and sensors which will need to be changed.
It is imperative to be aware of the dangers of using the self-cleaning oven. The general rules are to not have kids and animals around while cleaning, fumes can also be emitted which are not healthy and not having any large food pieces inside the oven that could cause a lot of smoke and ridiculous smells from burning. There is a fire safety hazard as the extreme heat can cause the particles inside the oven to catch fire.
Overall, choosing the type of oven is a personal choice, every aspect has pros and cons. You can always call us for more information as we are Appliance Handyman!

Categories: Mystery/Crime/Suspense/Thriller
Publisher: Virtual Tales/Barking Rain Press | Date published: 09/02/2012
When a courier for the powerful crime family descended from Niccoli Machiavelli realizes he's being followed by a rival family assassin, he takes a detour through the English countryside to shake his pursuer. He manages to hide his precious cargo--a fortune in blood diamonds from Sierra Leone--before his pursuer collides with an English family on a holiday drive. The courier drowns in a swollen river; the mother and son die in the crash. The father is emotionally devastated, and retires in despair from his MI5 cipher career. Five years later, the head of the Machiavelli crime family, Alberto Lorente, is still in pursuit of his missing diamonds and is ready to launch an ambitious scheme to recover them. What follows is a twisted trail of murder, kidnapping and layers upon layers of subterfuge. The British Security Services are seriously compromised, but no one knows how or by whom. And suddenly, our former MI5 cipher expert is on everyone's shopping list.

claire till height
Even with a healthy diet, most people’s height won’t increase after age 18 to 20. Biography.
They achieve adult height usually at the age of 14-15, or a couple of years after menstruation occurs the first time. hormone - related diseases (adrenal gland disorders, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism).
Health conditions, such as coeliac disease or arthritis.
If you are an adult, you cannot grow anymore, but you can appear taller by keeping a good posture. The fusions complete in age 12-16 for girls and 14-19 for boys. Heritability allows us to consider how the person's height is determined. This replacement is called epiphysial closure or growth plate fusion.
Lots of us believe that children are usually taller than their parents. Unfortunately, there is no good scientific evidence to prove these methods. The average height for a 14 year old boy is 162.4 cm (5 ft 3), while for girls it is 159.8 cm (5 ft 2). Growth reference 5-19 years; Application tools; Height-for-age (5-19 years) Charts. The white male population has an average height of 178 cm (5 ft 10 in) with a heritability of 80 percent.
However, it does not depend solely on the parents height. At that time, it is very important to sleep enough, eat well (provide enough macronutrients and micronutrients to the developing body), and do sports.
Female growth is fast in childhood, and when they reach puberty, it speeds up rapidly.
The answer is that about 60-80% of the individual's height is determined by genetics. Celebrity Fan Photos and Agency Pictures of stars are © to their respective owners. You may come across myths about some techniques that will allow you to grow. Afterwards, the image is compared to standard images from a bone development atlas, where the references were made on large studies of kids. Brandon Armstrong was born in 1994 in San Francisco, California, United States.
Let's analyze it on the following example: a man who is 183 cm (6 ft) tall.
Using the skeletal age, physicians may predict: The study is also used to monitor the treatment process of kids with growth deficiencies.
These questions thrill almost every parent during pregnancy and while the child is continuously growing in the early years. This is a hyaline cartilage plate, which consists of actively growing cells.
They may continue to get muscular, however. If you are a child, eat as much as you can on a healthy diet! Nowadays Til Schweiger might be 177cm. A Finnish study on almost 9000 twins arrived at results of 78 percent for men and 75 percent for women. Some kids with perfect health can have a disparity in skeletal and chronological age. Medications, such as corticosteroids, can affect growth. Analysis of heritability suggests how much of his extra height is a genetic cause and how much is due to environmental factors. It is so significant that scientists suggest the proper question to consider should be "How much variation (the difference between individuals) in height is attributable to genetic effects and how much to nutritional effects?". This data is taken from WHO growth charts, which are the international standard for height percentiles. And then, when he and Bruce Willis appeared on the "Goldene Kamera", Bruce (182cm, "I don't buy his 6-6'1 claim") Willis was about 5 cm (2 inches) taller than Til = 178cm. Just create an account, no credit card required! For sure, that is not a rule, and these trends vary from child to child and from family to family. He became a nationwide sensation after he was cast in The Hannah Montana Movie.About a year later, Lucas bagged an important role in the X-Men movie series.
This child height calculator answers the question of how tall will your children be? Following the growth charts from CDC, the average height of adult woman at age 20 is 64-65 in (163 cm). Height is said to be around 80% genetic, with the other 20% being environmental. Now I just round up to 5’11”. They are also helpful for judging the onset of puberty in an older child. Accepts metric and imperial units: inches, feet, cm, meters. How tall will my child be? Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
We would recommend that you do not let it worry you, as it is something that you can do seemingly nothing about.
The growth of bones is possible thanks to a particular area within two ends of long bones - the growth plate. We use two very different methods and describe in detail how to calculate a child's height. For boys, the margin of error is 2.1 inches, and for girls, the margin is 1.7 inches. Standardized growth charts are an essential tool used by doctors to determine whether a child is growing as expected. As we have already discussed, a child's height is primarily determined by genetics. Lucas Till started his career at the age of 10 by appearing in commercials.
weightlifting) and stretching. The one we provide here (the Khamis-Roche Formula) is proven to be the most accurate without the use of skeletal age. They start entering it at the age of 12-15, so the biggest growth happens around 2 years later than for girls. In the table below, you can find a few other numbers for different ages.
Boys come into puberty later than girls. I am not a Height-pusher for celebs. You can think about it as genetics determining someone's maximum height, while their nutrition and other factors deciding if they get there or not. Daily activities impact the disc cartilage, which results in their height reduction. It is, however, the most accurate way. They look different at each age - thanks to that, a doctor can determine the bone maturity by simply reviewing its appearance. Someone with a poor diet growing up will not realise their height potential. This method of height prediction is known as the Khamis-Roche Method, and it was developed in 1994 at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
- average female height, When do boys stop growing? 49ers tight end George Kittle married former basketball player Claire Till in the offseason: "She's making me better." The other conventional method of height prediction uses the roentgen radiation (which is potentially hazardous).
He spotted her a few times around campus when they were freshmen, and soon George Kittle had a crush on Claire Till before he’d even said hello. Subscribe now to get full access to the new sports page.
The adult height of a child can be predicted using a simple mathematical equation using parent height, current child height, and current child weight. Expect a large variation in height at this age, however, some people will have finished puberty, while some may not have started yet. However, we can observe slight daily variations in height for most adults. It is valid for children above the age of four. Moreover, we are discussing how to get taller (and whether it is possible at all). Then, the image is compared with the closest matching image from an atlas.
Here is how it works: girl's height = mid-parental height - 2½ in (or 6,5 cm), boy's height = mid-parental height + 2½ in (or 6,5 cm). Height Calculator: predict a child's adult height with significant accuracy. You can access it here.
By the early 2000s, he was regularly appearing in movies and TV shows. Most popular activities are certain forms of exercising (e.g. There are plenty of factors that may affect growth: The difference in hand bones, years 3, 6, 12, 18, source: "Atlas of hand bone age", V.Gilsanz, O.Ratib by Springer. Already have the app?
In the text above, we found that majority of a persons height is determined by genetics (60-80%), and the body grows by lengthening its long bones (thanks to special cartilage located in long bones - growth plates). You can estimate how tall you will be, or the adult height of your child or a child patient.

Symbolic Computing with SymPy, SciPy2013 Tutorial, Part 5 of 6
Ondrej Certik, Mateusz Paprocki, Aaron Meurer
SymPy is a pure Python library for symbolic mathematics. It aims to become a full-featured computer algebra system (CAS) while keeping the code as simple as possible in order to be comprehensible and easily extensible. SymPy is written entirely in Python and does not require any external libraries.
In this tutorial we will introduce attendees to SymPy. We will start by showing how to install and configure this Python module. Then we will proceed to the basics of constructing and manipulating mathematical expressions in SymPy. We will also discuss the most common issues and differences from other computer algebra systems, and how to deal with them. In the last part of this tutorial we will show how to solve simple, yet illustrative, mathematical problems with SymPy.
This knowledge should be enough for attendees to start using SymPy for solving mathematical problems and hacking SymPy's internals (though hacking core modules may require additional expertise).
We expect attendees of this tutorial to have basic knowledge of Python and mathematics. However, any more advanced topics will be explained during presentation.

Magnum Opus
'He was a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires'
Today as India celebrates how the parliament passed the Jan Lokpal bill as demanded by Anna Hazare and his team.
The month long campaign has proved that complete freedom against corruption is a long way away but the freedom of speech by the people and the media sure found its expression among billions of Indians. Many supporting the cause, many supporting the man and thousands against the man.
One of my favorite biographical movie is 'Gandhi' by Sir Richard Attenborough. This timeless movie still answers the many questions that plagues our society.
Watching it for the millionth time, I'll attempt to dissect the essence of what we need to learn..
Disgraced after being thrown out of a train only because he was traveling on a first class ticket, this sparked the first flames of freedom against discrimination.
Even as a staunch follower of Hinduism, Gandhi respected and followed the essence of Christianity. He often called himself and everyone 'Children of God'.
Even when faced with an seemingly impossible task of bringing equality to Indians in South Africa, he never once was disrespectful. Just polite and stern.
From being called 'Citizens of the Empire' to overthrowing the Empire, Gandhi showed us how we need to 'Fight against their anger. Not provoke it.'
Where there is injustice, I always believe fight. But the question is 'Do you fight to change things or to fight to punish?'
The problem with our supposed fight against corruption is that a majority of us are very comfortable with our every day lives (and I've already discussed why here)
When we spoke about Anna's stubborn refusal to budge, I remembered how Gandhi, referred to himself as a 'stubborn man'.
On my maiden visit to the Golden Temple many many years ago, I visited the Jallianwala Bagh. Now converted to a national monument it is one of those monuments that have been restored and preserved well. I could still see bullet holes and dried blood splatter. And the well, now sealed off is a grim reminder of the many dozens who lost their lives. A monument to mindless cruelty and unapologetic ruthlessness.
The way the empire and her majesty (note the lower case) refused to leave India despite the atrocity it committed, reminds me of how corrupt politicians refuse to step down.
When I read about how college students in Bangalore turned violent, I remembered how misguided protesters killed policemen during Gandhi's freedom struggle. But then violence has always been a much easier option for cowards.
Modern times call for contemporary measures. While most of Gandhi's principles is still proven to work in a world filled with turmoil. Prohibition is a farce in Gujarat where you'll always get the booze for the right price. It's not about looking or talking the part. It's about the being the part.
'Nearly all revolution starts as an idea in the mind of one man'. We won our freedom from the British with one such idea which became the most inspirational civil resistance in all history. In 2011, Anna has helped us win another.
Like Gandhi, he led from the front. Boldly, fearlessly and non violently.
Freedom. While we continue to fight among ourselves over who is more right, our politicians have always followed the colonial rule of 'Divide and Rule'. They have done it then and they continue to do it now.
'In our own sweet time.. In our own sweet way, we'll get there'
Britain, an tyrant Empire that once ruled most of the world and once was called Great Britain now reduced to a shell of its former self wrecked by terrorists from both outside and within. An island nation where an overwhelming majority of its citizens live on welfare and government doles. A nation that is still grappling with itself. What an awful turn of fortune.
The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts. And that is where all our battles ought to be fought - Gandhiji
Now, lets drink to that!
This is an ode to Gandhi: The 'half naked Indian fakir' who became the icon who Albert Einstein remarked is a man who 'generations will come which will scarce believe that such of one of this ever of flesh and blood walked upon this earth'
When I despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time, they can seem invincible but in the end, they always fall.
Hey Ram!

By the way...
Just so you know...
Indian democracy is not the most unique or supreme.
Do you see Red here?
Why not strengthen existing anti corruption agencies?
Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
Why a deadline?
This time it's our way or the highway, Mr PM.
Why is Anna being adamant about his demands?
Well, there are only 3, for crying out loud.
It's time for some tough love.
Why the hell is he so bothered?
Most weren't. Were they?
But just so you know, you should never give up.

No Hazare
In what can be described as an epic battle of good v/s evil, the Fight against Corruption has caught the fantasy of a billion people. Whether you are the CEO of a conglomerate or a lowly farmer, Hazare and his million followers have turned the Struggle into television's biggest tamasha.
Now, amidst all the controversy and the mud slung, I still support the cause- That of creating laws that will uphold justice and uproot corruption. Yes I do.
But something incredible has happened. Now, I am not a person who can be easily convinced. As a realist I need facts.
A movement that promised a change in how India is perceived both by its inhabitants and the world in general, the struggle has been subtly hijacked by ideologies and people that are suspect and well, give you that familiar feeling of all is not well.
Couple of reasons why I think Anna needs to pause, think and pull up his socks.
Proof of how 'Role models' have turned this struggle into a free for all fight for 15 minutes of fame
Anna is not India and India is not Anna.
Much like the ominous 'Indira is India. India is Indira' chant that reverberated through the dark years of Emergency, we are focusing on the man and not the purpose.
His well dressed compatriots all who have accomplished a lot in their public lives, are opinionated to a point where there is confusion on what Anna stands for and what the Bill wants to achieve.
This movement and the Bill that it fights for, has become a symbol of rebellion by an resurgent middle class awakened by 'Breaking News' round the clock.
A convenient way of removing the government without the ballot. While the government did miss the train by not reacting swiftly and it floundered badly with poor policies and a weak commander at the top, we should not circumvent existing mechanisms to cover up our weak electoral sense.
How did a guy who introduced sweeping financial reforms in the last decade become the weakest PM the country has ever had?
I am pretty sure Singh would've wanted to quit while the song was still sweet, but his inability to rein in corruption and his obvious submissiveness to Sonia will be a legacy that he will have to live with.
Lokpal is not our magic elixir.
The fact that there are many thousands marching on the streets who do not know what the Bill is nor can lead to, is a dangerous phenomena.
While we are definitely tired of corruption, the Bill is not all that we need.
As a nation of extremely opinionated people, we'd have a million ways to say that corruption cannot be uprooted. Not many can tell us how we can. Naysayers Plenty!
We already have enough institutions that are supposed to fight corruption. The National Advisory Council (NAC), an Institution with powers to veto any bill and monitors the government. Comprised of 14 eminent professionals in their individual fields, our focus should be towards strengthening existing anti corruption institutions like the NAC.
Because, what we need is not yet another Institution. We need a process.
Perhaps Anna can think on this while he is fasting.
What we need is a stronger government. A swifter one. A government that will work for its people while not keeping the good stuff for itself. A government that will treat all its citizens with respect, equality and merit.
'Democracy is where one confused person thinks he can change everything. Eventually we will need to kill him' but again, this is not about one man's fight against another. This is about how we need to change the way we work within the framework of democracy.
We, the people need to exercise better judgement with the electoral process. Resisting the temptation to vote because you were bribed to, we need to show our activism through democracy. After all, we are still the World's largest democracy.
We are not you, Anna. We support your cause though
The Fight is not rocket science nor is it brain surgery.
So, why are we not getting the point?
Aug 22, 2011
I hate Anna Hazare!
While there is a clarion call to 'Support Hazare'online, what is upsetting is how many Indians are opposed to the entire movement. (and I'll come to that in a later post..)
Over the past week, Indians (and in some cases, foreigners) have reminded the world how potent non violence is.
Millions of people across the nation marched.
Several hundreds have been fasting..
All in the name of Anna Hazare.
But really?!
While what he is doing is definitely commendable and can by no means be ridiculed or shrugged off, I think there is a growing resistance in the cause.
And for good reason.
As the nation remains split at the middle on the Fight against Corruption, what I am going to do is help dissect the Lokpal bill here...
-While Indians as a civilization have always resented authority figures that have been repressive, what we as a nation that aspires to be World Power is an institution that will rid our nation of its 'corrupt third world' tag. Lest we become another failed state.
-Autonomous. In a country where the judiciary and law enforcement is often used as tools of political and personal vendetta, there must an Institution which will perform without the fear of getting 'that phone call/fax/email from the top'
-The CBI, having been used as a tool for political vendetta for many decades has failed to secure enough convictions. This leads to a weak trail where the guilty are not arrested nor charged. We definitely need a justice system which will instill fear of the law into the corrupt. The guilty must be punished. Swiftly.
-The fourth point of the bill is perhaps the most contentious. Making sure that the corrupt restore the loss caused to the exchequer will not only rob the corrupt of all his wealth but also reveal the money trail. Simple yet potent.
-In a country where nothing can get done within a reasonable time-frame and where deadlines are nearly always extended, the fifth condition of a lokpal is definitely what the doctor prescribed. When the rest of the world can meet deadlines and finish projects at breakneck speeds, this condition will make sure that India will come up to speed with the 21st Century.
-The sixth condition of the Bill remedies and redresses a myriad of ills that plague our society. We definitely need an institution that will make other parts of the government work in perfect harmony. Indians should not be afraid nor discouraged when report corruption.
-Making sure that the Lokpal is headed by people who are beyond reproach is a no-brainer.
While the public perception of an Indian politician is poor this point in the Lokpal makes sure that imminent people who are beyond reproach is chosen and given the power to function effectively rather than just be a figure head is the need of the hour.
-Assuming that the incorruptible become corrupt, the eight point in the Bill provides for an open investigation where the Officer will be dismissed within two months.
-Naturally, the existing anti-corruption machinery within the country have floundered badly. After decades of inaction, we need a mechanism that will work. Fearlessly. Ruthless. Honest.
-Whistle-blowers must be protected. Because where the people can reveal corruption without fear of reprisal, there lies a progressive nation.

There. The most controversial Bill against corruption in Modern India.
If you support this movement and know the bill. Good job! Now spread the word.
But if you are not supporting this because you don't know what the Bill is about, then Read The Fu*king Manual!

Where age is just a number...
As I write this, at the stroke of 12 on the 15th of August, I hear crackers burst in the distance.
On a midnight not unlike tonight, 65 years ago, when our founding fathers won us independence, little did they realize that this day would loose its significance many decades later.
Tonight when most of India is still sleeping, while the other half of India is preparing for a show of patriotism, we have to tell ourselves to cut the crap and start living the life of true freedom and independence that our nation's forefathers envisioned.
At a time, when almost every politician worth his constituency is neck deep in scams, scandals and other unmentionables, we need to introspect.
Maybe, just maybe corruption is a very Indian concept and is deeply entwined within our culture and society.
Maybe, certain people and newspapers are correct.
Consider this.
A child acquires the habit of lying and then graduates into petty thefts. Before you'd realize you have a delinquent in your hands and trouble at your doorstep.
The child lacks nothing and is otherwise a very blessed with very supportive and honest parents. Unable to accept that their child could be growing up to a thief, they are in denial but are still loving and supportive.
Would you blame the child? His upbringing or his parents? Would you theorize that the child was born to be a thief and a liar? Would you think that child is inheriting his habits from his parents? Would you think that his parents deliberately allowed their child to walk the wrong path?
I could go on, but I think you get the drift now, right?
Doubtless, our nation has gone astray and we've unintentionally allowed it. True.
But its so easy to pick a pen or put fingers to a keyboard and blame the activists. It is very easy to believe that we are fighting corruption because of a strong media that is ruled by corporates. It is very easy to criticize.
'Walk a mile in his shoe and you'll know where it bites'
We have way too many half baked critics who are satisfied with sitting on their desks with a deadline to write a 1000 word article where he/she gets paid for every word that they write passing too much ill informed verdicts instead of fighting it out on the streets.
The interesting thing about our society is that every good effort/work/person will invariably have a bunch of critics who'll have half the knowledge, none of the authority and plenty of words. When they have not spared the Holy Bible, Anna and our fight against corruption will surely have many who'll like to crucify him.
Happy Birthday, India!
Indian Jails: Separating the Boys from the Men
Most Indians are terrified of jails.
A nightmarish place the size of a small room not unlike many Indian 'pucka' houses, where you'll be tortured and have confessions extricated. But you'll still get free healthy food three times a day!
I haven't seen the insides of a Jail and there's a pretty good chance that most Indians haven't either. Indian movies and occasional but steady news of police brutality in custody has ingrained the fear of the bars in every Indian.
India Shining!
Unlike Hollywood jails, Indian jails are not places where 'normal' people go. They are places where the most petty thieves, rapists and burglars and the occasional trouble-maker spends a few nights in.
And hence Tihar was a uneventful place to be. Until recently.
But all that has changed ever since the Indian govt's austerity drive finished. The jails are now packed with former CEOs, the A-rated Politicians and random celebrities and a few of them appear destined to reside here soon
It almost appears that the government did manage to save a lot of money. But almost all of it went directly into the pockets of the few.
Talk about India Shining!
So in a sense, Indian jails are what separates the men from the boys.
It is what separates the wickedly guilty from the truly blessed Statesman.
Unless you've lived in a cave, you'd have read/heard/seen the flurry of politicians who have been dethroned and carted off to jail. Many of them struggling to live in cells that is more luxurious than an average Indian house yet breathing down the necks of their over-paid lawyers to secure a bail and run free.
Some of them have even filed anticipatory bails.
And then we have Anna and his ilk. With the firm understanding that the battle will be long and ardous but the victory is going to be sweet, he and his team have courted arrest. A true Gandhian in word, thought and deed, he has brought a unrepentant and tainted government to its knees.
So, why do you fear the jail, Mr Politician?
what ails us..
No, its not the cause that has split the people.
Take the pledge
I cannot pay you that bribe, Sir/Madam
I won't sleep with you for a promotion or a hike.
I cannot promote you just because you slept with me.
I can't give you 'luncha' for doing your job.
Change, we need.

Destined to die!
4000 million years ago, the most primitive form of life arrived on Earth.
15 million years ago, Hominidaes, the primitive Great Apes evolved.
and 200,000 years ago, the Humans evolved.
But we are possibly the only species that is perhaps the most cruel, despotic and self destructive.
We are the only species that refuses to share our planet with creatures that we depend on.
Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend, but would you choose to be a friend with a person who would shove and kick your children?
What would you do if you saw a man kick and use a barge pole to evict 12 puppies?
Well, hearing the loud cries of the pups, whose only sin was that they sought out the shelter at an apartment, I rushed to my balcony only to see a man, (possibly the caretaker of the apartment) use a long barge to extricate puppies, one after the after, from a shaded spot outside the building and throw them off the ledge 5 steps down.
Many of the pups landed on their heads and backs. Well, I'm no animal expert but landing 5 steps down on the head is not good. Not even for 2 week old puppies.
He proceeded to gather all the pups by shoving them and poking them with the barge pole. All this while the pups are crying so loud there were neighbors peeping out to see what the commotion was all about.
A tenant pauses to watch the eviction in progress and walks out side-stepping the helpless pups.
The man obviously not convinced by just leaving the pups outside the gate, now goes to pick each of the pups by its tail (Yes, you read it right), lifting it by its tail and throw it into the newly laid concrete stormwater drain. I guess out of sight does mean out of mind. The pups continued to cry until the mother (who was standing at a distance, fearing a similar fate) could frisk her pups to safety.
When Giants fall
The Power of One
A sudden spate of revolutions that have rocked seemingly stable countries around the world are but a subtle reminder that Giants can still fall.
The thud is hardly pleasant but the ripples that it makes can be felt across the world.
The Middle Eastern crisis, the Libyan conflict, the British riots and now, Anna Hazare.
What newspapers and sheer word of mouth did 70 years ago, FB and twitter did yesterday.
While the newspapers will eventually move on to fresher headlines of how the over rated Indian cricket team under performed, we must not loose our focus.
In a throwback to the colonial freedom struggle, Anna was jailed. They could only break his body. Not his will or his spirit.
Anna may fall victim to his cause. But what is important that his cause must not fail.
With the government trying to suppress freedom that has been constitutionally guaranteed, what remains to be seen is how Team Manmohan (aka Sonia) can explain its actions to 'We the People'
With senior Ministers questioning how just about any random citizen can decide on the constitution, may we remind him the first few lines of how the Constitution of India starts.
For a government that thrives on fattening the lining on its wallets, we need to reiterate how the constitution reminds us that the government is 'For the People'.
For a generation with a short attention span, our freedom struggle must not flounder nor suffer. We must remember that this country belongs to every one of us - 'By the People'
Imprisoning Anna could have been a knee jerk measure, but surely Team Manmohan should have remembered their history lessons.
The consequence- A billion have awakened.
People across demography, age and profession have woken up to what can be a monumental phenomenon. Millions on the streets and this time, the people have united. In single minded determination. A revolution of such gargantuan proportions that you know you are witnessing something historic.
Yes, just maybe corruption will be thing of the past, a story of how India was that our children will tell their children.
But true awakening and real change will come when ordinary people like you and me sharpen our civic senses.
How many times have you bribed your way out of a traffic violation?
How many times have you jumped the red light at nights or when there wasn't anyone looking?
How many times have you stopped to help a victim of an accident?
How many times have we resisted the urge to spit or chuck that garbage bag into an empty plot near your home?
How many times have we have been prejudiced against a fellow Indian based on his caste, creed or demography?
The need of the hour is freedom. A freedom against corruption. Yes definitely.
But also a freedom where we act with responsibility and honesty. Also integrity.
We need a land where we need to participate and work for the common good.
We need to resist the urge to switch our minds off.
We have to act. And the this is just the beginning.
If any of this has spurred you to act, I encourage you to click here to join the cause. Not just in the virtual world but in the real world too.
We better save India while there's still something left to save.
In the meanwhile, our media is doing something right for the first time:
The Hindu
IBN Live
Deccan Herald
Indian Express

India: When History repeats itself
Unless you've been buried alive, you wouldn't have missed the loud groaning of a billion people against corruption.
For all those who thought Anna Hazare couldn't and wouldn't be able to replicate his fight against corruption nationwide, the events that have unfolded since yesterday has kicked their butt all the way back to 1947.
But the irony does not end there. What the British were 65 years ago, the Congress with their ragtag bunch of political crooks are now.
Surprisingly, the British are having their own litany of trouble with gang violence and such. Looks like the Great Britain is no longer 'Great'.
Coming back to India, where we are suffering from the birth pangs of yet another Freedom struggle, this time not against foreigners but against Indians who have looted us for way too long.
Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.
The irony is that we are fighting against a government that is led by the first family of politics - The Gandhi's.
How the family that once symbolized every virtue, pure and free became a concocted mix of greed, corruption, nepotism and oppression is something that we as Indians need to introspect.
Aug 16th, 2011 will forever be the day in Indian history when the second Freedom Struggle started.
A fight against a government that refuses to relinquish absolute power and shed all reason to oppress needs to win. We owe it to our children.
We may not live to see all the changes that this struggle will bring about. But we ought to have started it.
After having threatened, reasoned and cajoled Anna Hazare to abandon his plans of fasting until death, the government erred greatly by arresting him.
The first family of Indian politics should have known better than to stifle a nonviolent protest.
The Satyagraha as a peaceful, non violent form of public protest became a powerful
The idea was first mooted by the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau and it was Gandhi who effectively demonstrated the enormous impact of various forms of non-violent civil disobedience.
A peaceful gathering by disobeying prohibitory orders and courting arrest was one form. Marching to the seashore to symbolically make your own salt was another.
The most effective form of satyagraha was used occasionally, somewhat rarely, as a last resort — the indefinite hunger strike. One man’s fast would rivet the subcontinent and often deliver quick results, be it quelling communal riots or scoring a compromise with formidable opponents like the British.
Gandhi’s extraordinary capacity to rouse masses did not just bring freedom to India but also brought justice to blacks in the US through Martin Luther King Jr, an avowed follower of the Gandhian doctrine of civil disobedience. In South Africa, it was Nelson Mandela.
When non-violent public protests turn into mass movements, growing bigger by the day, it’s not easy to stop them. The nationwide protests against the Emergency that brought down Indira Gandhi is an instance, with an almost parallel example that originated in Egypt’s Tahrir Square and finally dethroned president Hosni Mubarak.
In India, the issue of the day is corruption. Rather ironically, it is the “clean and incorruptible” prime minister Manmohan Singh’s team that has lost face in the way it has handled the Lokpal Bill issue.
Barely four months ago, Team Manmohan agreed to include civil society members in the drafting of the Lokpal Bill in a frustrated attempt to bring Anna Hazare’s first round of satyagraha to a quick close.
From then on, every attempt was made to discredit the civil society members of the panel — from questioning the inclusion of the father-son legal team of Shanti and Prashant Bhushan and challenging their integrity right down to calling Anna a corrupt man.
Finally, Team Manmohan submitted a diluted version of the bill to parliament and in the intervening period, Baba Ramdev and his supporters were caned out of Delhi. Team Anna was warned that they would suffer a same fate.
This arrogance of the Congress-led UPA government was on display at every turn and as a final roll-out of the plot, the government decided to thwart Anna’s plans for a second satyagraha in Delhi from August 16. Twenty-two pre-conditions were imposed and finally Anna was arrested from his Delhi residence even before he could step out to proceed towards JP Park.
Today’s generation could as well imagine Team Manmohan as part of the British Raj at its wit’s end in trying to deal with Mahatma Gandhi.
If the British police had their Rottweilers, Team Manmohan has its equivalents in Congress spokesman Manish Tewari and senior leader Digvijay Singh who lost no opportunity to try and tear Anna to pieces. Calling Hazare a corrupt man, dismissing his locus standi as he was not elected by the people (unlike our great netas) and telling him how to — and how not to — conduct his protest, were all part of the strategy to scuttle the public crusade against corruption.
It almost seemed that Team Manmohan had won this second round and demonstrated how to effectively puncture a satyagraha. But they erred greatly.
With barely a year to go before the largest democracy in the planet goes into an electoral huddle, history will prove once again that freedom will prevail.
Gandhiji is surely squirming in his grave.

Sex, Lies and Deception
my take:
Thoroughly surprised how the chief of the police, chose to justify prostitution and sex trafficking as a necessary tool to control the urges of the frustrated Indian male, who in his words would otherwise choose to rape and mollest the modesty of 'good' women.
Who in this damned world gave him the right to label women?
Nonetheless, though this video does not show anything that we already don't know, we do see the nexus between the cops, the politicians and sex traffickers at work here.
Let's face it, trafficking is a epidemic of epic proportions and we are not bothered. Well, not until someone dear and near to you got trapped in it.
Why not?!
The Corrupt and his Protege`
Looks like the bad news just keeps coming.
Back home in Bangalore, Yeddy did a Sonia.
Logic took a hike and he managed to install a Chief Minister that he preferred.
Now, say it slowly with me, folks: Yes Of Course.
What began as a earnest measure to uproot the corrupt just ended up as an exercise in futility.
While the new chief insists that he is not a puppet and will act with integrity and honesty, his elevation to the top job is only the beginning of the end.
While there is a growing dissatisfaction of the way the government works, what ties the hands of anti corruption crusaders is the lack of political will to allow themselves to be held accountable. Over the years, I've oscillated between the opinion that India should be ruled by a firm fisted dictator and by a President.
A biparty political system that invites and involves its citizens to participate in governing and also allows a moderate amount of freedom while still encouraging growth and creativity.
A nation where its constitution is framed with the needs of today's society. Not one that shortsighted forefathers created, but one where we are given a chance to create and inspired to follow.
A nation where you know what your politicians stand for. A nation that is ruled by the people and not by megalomaniac politicians.
We need a nation where politicians are held accountable for their performance, and corrupt officials been disqualified. For ever.
While all this is difficult for us as a nation to accomplish, I believe it is possible. Progressive Asian countries have proved that politicians can be what they were meant to be. Govern with integrity.
Even though there is enough incentive to live in a society that is free of corruption, the lure of easy money and a weak judiciary is what frustrates ordinary citizens.
The social costs of having to bribe officials for anything you need and everything you deserve is huge.
The number of politicians that get away with weak laws and laws that tend to serve their purpose is astounding.
How can so many of us keep quiet when visibly corrupt minister(s) demand one of their own in a position of authority?
How can we pretend to believe that the newly crowned minister will govern with integrity?
How can we believe the justifications of the guilty?
Can we ever hope to see the guilty and corrupt tried by a impartial judiciary, a la Egyptians?
The last I hear the ruling house is split wide at the middle, with the rival faction demanding plum positions (which in most chances they will get). Now, what was that phrase about a house that is divided among themselves will not survive?
Like a dog that goes back to its vomit, the people of Karnataka are doomed to a yet another government that will systematically plunder, loot and deceive.
It's not 'India Shining', it's 'India Stealing'.
Now, Mr Chief Minister, while you are fighting among yourselves, who the hell is running the state?

1 deform, pulverize, or force inwards by compressing forcefully,
2 violently subdue (opposition or a rebellion),
3 make (someone) feel overwhelmingly disappointed or embarrassed.
-Oxford Dictionary
A word that could mean 'infatuation' in teen lingo, crush until now was just another word that would make you reminisce about all the silly things you did growing up.
But that was until this news article appeared.
Graphic descriptions follow. Reader Discretion is advised.
Crush videos is not the kind of videos that you'd expect to be.
A term used for videos that are produced and circulated among a highly secretive network of individuals with a fetish for animal cruelty.
All the videos feature one to three girls performing the acts on the animals. (Read more here)
If you cringed while reading this, take heart that the long arm of the law has finally caught up with the inhumane.
While we can live with the fact and knowledge that humans will have fetishes, what astounds me how depraved we've got.
What a way to earn a living?
While the perpetrators are on the lam, I also hope that we learn to have a more holistic approach towards creatures that share our planet.
Few months ago, I stumbled across another video, and this time a documentary that used footage from hidden cameras to reveal how we indirectly fuel the inhuman treatment of animals both for our hunger and pleasure.
Earthlings, is a no nonsense documentary that has spawned debate on how we must really be treating animals that seem to be destined to be trampled.
The documentary is an eye opener in many ways.
If there is one film that you must watch, this is it.
Watch the movie, spread the word. Even if you don't turn vegan or an animal lover.
Surely we've seen bullock carts, over loaded with sacks of concrete, iron railings and such. Surely those marks on the bulls are not tattoos. Surely you would've flinched when you see the man twisting the tail of the bull when he wants the animal to move.
Surely you've seen how young kids stone stray dogs. Surely you must have seen dogs limping.
Surely you'd have seen horses been mistreated.
Surely, you'd have wanted to do something to stop all this cruelty.
Contact your local PeTA chapter if you come across instances of cruelty against animals.
Just as swiftly as you would react if someone punished you at work, I beg you to raise your voice.
The creatures that share our planet have just the same rights as you do. They deserve to live just as dignified a life as you do.
Be humane. Be proactive. Speak out

Problems? What Problem? No Problem
'We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control...'
....goes the Pink Floyd song.
It looks like we are a bunch of people who are resistant to instruction, allergic to change, susceptible to greed and mute to corruption.
BS Yeddyurappa, fondly called Yeddy, is the most recent victim to an era of incredibly corrupt politicians.
While it seems like we as a nation are poor, our politicians are in the super wealthy league. How?!
While his political party is fighting the government on serious allegations of graft and nepotism, Yeddy's ouster couldn't have come at a worse hour.
Caught with its hand in the cookie jar, the national political party just proved yet again on what is wrong with the nation's politics.
Why must an tainted minister get to choose who his successor should be?
How does he think he can even justify himself?
Why must we even encourage such rhetoric?
While it is true that you are innocent until proven guilty, how can we let a minister(s) go with just a rap on the knuckles, when presented with such overwhelming evidence of plunder?
All said and much done, I must admit I am vaguely beginning to love and loathe the way our politicians manipulate the lost sheep (aka followers).
Desperately trying to cling on to power and make the most out of his last week in power, Yeddy tried (unsuccessfully) to appoint his cronies to Law enforcement so that when and if he is tried in a competent court of law, he can surely count on the support of some familiar faces and hands.
A simple case of 'You scratch my back, I'll scratch your back' Later.
All the billions of dollars that could have been otherwise used for the good of the people have been siphoned off to offshore tax havens never to be ever seen again.
I wonder why we even waste any more time investigating any of them, since chances are:
a) The investigating agency/officer will not find any real evidence to prosecute the culprits.
b) Money trails are hard to trace.
c) The culprits will almost definitely buy the investigators/witnesses off. With the sheer volume of money at stake, greasing the palms of a few more people will hardly cost the culprits anything.
d) If the track record of our investigative agencies are anything to go by, chances are nearly all of them will be back in power before we can even say 'Guilty'.
e) Public memory is short. We will crib and rant about this only until the next thousand crore scam hits the fan.
Somewhere in Bangalore and some other obscure parts of Karnataka hundreds of politicians are now gathered scheming, plotting, fretting, fraternizing, deliberating, celebrating.
Like veteran magicians, they are plundering our land while they distract us with grand histrionics.
But on the brighter side, shame on you Poonam Pandey, even Yeddyurappa kept his words and finally resigned.

Fittest Americans of All-Time
Ten guys who showed their patriotism with a different set of guns.
When Chuck Norris wants an egg, he cracks open a chicken. Well, that's not exactly true but there's a reason an entire website full of one-liners like this exists. Because Chuck Norris is badass. As a child he wasn't quiet so tough—he was often teased and would dream about beating up his bullies. After high school he joined the Air Force and got interested in martial arts, which helped him get ripped. Back from duty, he opened his own MA school and taught a celebrity roster including the Osmonds, Priscilla Presley and Steve McQueen. In the professional world, Norris became a six-time world karate champion, the first man in the Western Hemisphere to be awarded an 8th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and the star of the incredibly crappy Walker, Texas Ranger.

“If we could understand a single flower we could understand the whole universe.”
This isn’t the Buddha, although many websites say it is. So far I haven’t found it in any books.
“If we could understand a single flower we could understand the whole universe” is very similar to another Fake Buddha Quote that I’ve documented, “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” That one’s from Jack Kornfield’s delightful “Buddha’s Little Instruction Book,” which is not a book of canonical quotes (as the name might suggest) but sayings that have been “distilled and adapted” for contemporary life.
Now that I’ve seen the two quotes side by side, I wonder if Jack distilled and adapted the “if we could understand a single flower we could understand the whole universe” quote.
Anyway, the quote I’m discussing here may well be an adaptation of something Borges wrote: “Tennyson said that if we could understand a single flower we would know who we are and what the world is” (“Jorge Luis Borges: A Personal Anthology,” page 136). This is so close to our suspect quote that I believe it is almost certainly the original template.
Borges’ reference is to Tennyson’s poem, “Flower in the Crannied Wall.”
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
Little flower—but if I could understand
I should know what God and man is.
And I believe that Tennyson borrowed this from Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence,” written much earlier than “Flower in the Crannied Wall” but published in the same year:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand.
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower.
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand.
And Eternity in an hour.
The closest the Buddha said to this that I’m aware of is that the entire world can be understood within this fathom-long body. This is from the Rohitassa Sutta:
“I tell you, friend, that it is not possible by traveling to know or see or reach a far end of the world where one does not take birth, age, die, pass away, or reappear. But at the same time, I tell you that there is no making an end of suffering and distress without reaching the end of the cosmos. Yet it is just within this fathom-long body, endowed with perception and cognition, that I declare that there is the world, the origination of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path of practice leading to the cessation of the world.”
The word “world” here doesn’t refer to the world of atoms and subatomic particles and forces, and all it makes up. It refers to the world of our experience. (Jayarava has an article on this topic.) The Buddha referred to this “world of experience” as being “the all” (sabba) and said that there’s nothing we can know outside of that. He’s not saying that there’s no external reality, just that all we can ever know if our experience of whatever external reality there might be.
You could be forgiven for thinking that if the Buddha’s saying we can understand ourselves then we’d understand the whole world in the sense that we’d know in detail how a computer works (or how to cure cancer, or to travel faster than light). But that’s not what he’s saying. His point (as I understand it) is that in looking closely at our experience of the body and mind we’ll understand the arising and passing away of our perceptions, thoughts, and emotions, and through doing that we can liberate ourselves from craving, aversion, and delusion, as well as the suffering they bring.
The association of both these quotes with the Buddha may arise from a story in the Zen tradition (not found in the earlier scriptures) where the Buddha is sitting silently with his monks (and presumably nuns, although inevitably they are ignored), and instead of delivering a discourse he holds up a single flower. One disciple, Mahakashyapa, smiled, showing that he had understood the Buddha’s teaching. This led to Mahakashyapa becoming the Buddha’s heir, and the first patriarch of the Chan (later Zen) lineage. This story is, of course, completely ahistorical. apart from anything else, the Buddha specifically chose not appoint any successor. But spiritual traditions, when their authority is called into question, like to create validating myths. And the story very elegantly makes the point that spiritual awakening is not a matter of understanding words, but of seeing/experiencing in a particular way.
(Thanks to Doni W. for bringing this quote to my attention.)
5 thoughts on ““If we could understand a single flower we could understand the whole universe.””
1. Also evokes Blake’s “To see a World in a Grain of Sand/And a Heaven in a Wild Flower/Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand/And Eternity in an hour”.
2. Interesting that you quote the Tennyson poem. Alas, I am rushing now so don’t have the time to source it properly but I remember reading somewhere a fascinating piece by I think a Zen Buddhist who lay that poem alongside – again I think – a haiku to contrast the classic Western/Eastern spirituality models.
His point was that the western response to the beauty of the flower was to pluck it. To intervene in a brutal topdown way. Overpower and remove. Changing the landscape irrevocably etc etc.
Whereas in the Japanese poem, the monk sits and observes in silence. Watches. Meditates. Then moves on leaving the flower in its natural place undisturbed. And crucially so that others may come along and have the same experience but in their own unique way etc etc
Now, obviously big brushstroke generalisations there and I’m sure there’s loads of western poems where the poet just sits and appreciates. Daffodils come to mind! Likewise, I bet flowers weren’t always safe around passing Zen monks 🙂
But it’s an interesting point and again, sorry I don’t have time to find the article/book now!
3. My first thought when I saw this went to my guru. Well, not really in the traditional sense of the word. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. He is an enlightened being and possibly the most sensible I know of that is currently living. He once said how knowing oneself can lead to knowing the whole existence, because if we know the microcosm or the macrocosm then we know the opposite. Since we are also a manifestation of the same universe and so is everything else, knowing something in its entirety will lead to knowing oneself and existence.

\section{Limit of Image of Sequence/Real Number Line}
Tags: Limits of Sequences, Real Analysis
\begin{theorem}
Let $f$ be a real function which is continuous on the interval $\Bbb I$.
Let $\sequence {x_n}$ be a sequence of points in $\Bbb I$ such that:
:$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} x_n = \xi$
where:
:$(1): \quad \xi \in \Bbb I$
:$(2): \quad \ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} x_n$ denotes the limit of $x_n$.
Then:
:$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \map f {x_n} = \map f \xi$
That is:
:$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \map f {x_n} = \map f {\lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} x_n}$
That is, for a continuous function, the limit and function symbols commute.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
From Limit of Real Function by Convergent Sequences, we have:
:$\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to \xi} \map f x = l$
{{iff}}:
:for each sequence $\sequence {x_n}$ of points of $\openint a b$ such that:
::$\forall n \in \N_{>0}: x_n \ne \xi$
:and:
::$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} x_n = \xi$
:it is true that:
::$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \map f {x_n} = l$
The result follows directly from this and the definition of continuity on an interval.
{{qed}}

Some symptoms:
Deciding what you should major in, where to goto school. Being grounded for no reason for extended periods. Working for parents with no days off. Parents never satisfied with work performance. Parents don't want children to leave and live their life.
I ask this because no one except one person believes that controlling parents exist. They seem to think I'm a 40 year old rebellious teenager. My one friend believes me only through trust because he knows I wouldn't lie about this. We've been friends for 20 years. Everyone else seems to think that the parent is always right and doesn't ever want anything bad for their children.
I have skimmed through 4 books about controlling parents and the book does not side with the parents except that they are past victims who should receive compassion.

there isn't a lot to control for my parents lol. I basicly go to school, come home. stay at home until i go to school the next day. they can't ground me because I ground myself I guess :(. But it's bad when I organize for an old friend of mine or something to come over and they say(my parents) that they can't come over because of some rediculous reason. It's just like, "fuck this shit. I don't know why I even bother trying to socialize". Maybe that's why i dont bother much these days. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I start failing classes or getting extra shit marks. I may have to get a job within the next 8 months or so because once I hit 16 my mum doesnt get any government benefits to help buy food and stuff. But i don't think i'd be able to get a job. I can barely muster the energy to go to school everyday and NEARLY fail most of my classes....:sigh:

I think it's old-fashioned if you will for parents to be controlling of their children. I also think it's an unintelligent way of approaching raising your kids as it's destructive to their development and not constructive.
Isn't the whole point of parenting is that you guide your children up to the point that they are responsible? You have to teach them to be responsible. You also have to teach them to be indepentent! How else are they going to be able to take care of themselves??
*sighs* Sorry for the rant here but this is something I feel very strongly about. Just recently I heard someone say that "being a parent is a learning process" and that "you learn how to be a good parent through trial and error" and this is just the whole problem I see around me a lot; parents who don't think things through beforehand regarding raising their children! I mean how inconsiderate to their childeren is that??
And some kids are more fragile than others and are at risk of being victimized by their parent's bad parenting. E.g. on this other forum I heard this story of a woman who was afraid to stand up to her parents and go her own way because there were "too many consequences" she felt. This ultimately led to her having missed a lot of opportunities and to her having a depression...
People need to be free. And if you love someone, you don't oppress them which is what some parents do whether they realize it or not. It's sad.

Mine are horrible. They insist on interfering with my life in every way they possibly can. In the last 6 months, I've finally said "fuck them" and began rebuilding my life. I am not able to work, in the standard sense, so I have to accumulate the necessary money for school and life by using other means, as I don't expect to be recieving any money after I sever all ties with them when I turn 18.
A friend of mine has it worse, though, because he still accepts that his parents know best. He allowed them to choose all his courses, and won't do anything they don't approve of. Which is practically everything.
I think it's all about your mental state, and how you consider them. Once you accept that they're worthless pieces of shit, you have a chance to salvage something in your life.

I think that I can deal with the emotional seperation after reading a book called "Cutting Loose," written by a parent psychologist who decided to write for the children too. It helps people of varying ages understand why parents control. And how to move out. I've read other books "Emotional Blackmail," "Toxic Parents," "If you had controlling parents." Having read the reason why parents control by the inner child within a parent and their fears, insecurities and past experiences, I think that I need to keep contact with my parents in a limited adult to adult communtication.
I was mainly upset with the lack of understanding from friends.
Yet now, I'm mostly worried about what job to find when I leave even though I have a degree. My father pushed me into this degree even though I initially chose this degree not thinking that I would stay in it. I'm still a bit worried. I've come up with 3 ideas. But I still feel like I need more back up plans.

I guess I'm lucky, because I didn't have controlling parents. For a long time, I thought I had a controlling father, as he has been telling me about jobs I should apply for and career paths I should go down, among other things, since I was a teenager. But then I realized that that is only a parent's right and not a controlling behaviour.
I'm also lucky in that, and I can't really say this tactfully but oh well, I don't harbor intensely negative or even hateful feelings towards the people that clothed, fed, and housed me for the first 18 years of my life. Perhaps it has something to do with knowing how damn hard the real world can be when you're out on your own, paying hundreds of hard earned dollars a week just to be able to live your life.
I can understand the feelings of a child who was or is the victim of a controlling parent though. Feeling like you aren't allowed to live your life, or that what you think is right is actually wrong, or that you will have to suffer this treatment for the rest of your life.
But the best way to stop them from controlling your behaviour is to show them that you don't need their control, you are no longer a child, and you won't do a bad or stupid thing if they aren't hovering over you dictating your every move. Unfortunately the last one rarely happens, as the child of a controlling parent often acts out, rebels, drinks excessively (at least in my country they do), and reinforces the parents' belief that what they (the parent) are doing is necessary.
What I'm trying to say is that they are generally being controlling because they believe you need to be controlled (or in their mind, "looked after"), and if you show them that you will make a bad choice without them, then that will completely justify their reasons for trying to control you.
And sure, controlling parents are overbearing, unreasonable and irrational in their behaviour towards their kids, but the majority of them, believe it or not, truly just want what is best for their children.

My parents seem to be extremely controlling - I try really hard to not let them know when I'm not feeling great and have SI & SH urges but if they do find out and when they find out I'm on 24/7 watch, I'm not allowed anywhere on my own even within the house. I'm not allowed to stay in my own room on my own and not allowed to lock the bathroom door. So if they ever ask how I'm feeling I always make sure that I say that I'm ok and try my best to cover everything else up.
When I've od'd before my parents have both gone absolutely mental at me, my dad didn't talk to me for 3 days after one stay in hospital and last time my mum said she wished Id done a better job and suceeded so I couldn't put them all through any more!
Sorry for going on, I thought it was always because I'm such an awful daughter and failure.

14. jjjoooggg2

There is such a thing as healthy control, so I can see why people would not understand my situation.
Let me clarify.
I'm reading a book(travel journals) at dinner. My father will insist that what I'm reading is stupid and I can not read any book in front of him except physics or piloting in front of him. My mother kept me in my room for four years of high school. I was not allowed to leave my room. I had no TV and just vegetated. She would burst open the door 3 times a day to make sure I was there without knocking. She used to yell at the top of her lungs for 1 hour a day for no reason. I told my father what I wanted to do with my degree when I was 36 while we were at a restaurant. He exploded for 20 minutes saying repeatedly, "what are you talking about, there you go, what are you talking about, there you go...." I couldn't get a word in. When I was 37, for no reason he started jamming his fingers into the table saying " i'm your father, you do as I say." I started working for my father since I was 12 full time. When I was 23 I had just finished working every day for two years 60 hours/ week and he told me that I couldn't have a day off to go hunting with the manager. My father disowned my half sister when she moved out at 17 til she passed away in her late 20's. She tried to tell me that she was my half sister, but my father said that she was a crazy lady until we had to goto her funeral. She was supposedly the best paralegal in her office. But married an abusive alcoholic. It is mandatory that I goto 3 parties a year that I'm not invited to and doesn't interest me. I have to go in his car so that I can not drive away in my own car. He insists that I have to eat with him everyday because he is old and been starving all day to eat with me and that I should call him before he calls me.
To try to explain what a controlling parent is is a whole book. I am 40 and up til 39 my father did not give a choice to move out. I tried once when I was 23 and it was the most depressing moment of my life.
Now I think that no one can understand unless they have been inside or read books. It's not just an ultimatum, it's an emotional connection where children feel good only when their parents feel good. And the parents are not making decisions based on the childrens' interest or wellbeing, but are making decision based on the parent's fears, selfishness, misplaced angers, insecurities and benefits. Over control is not personal. It is about the parent, not the child. It's generational.
This is from a book called "If you had controlling parents:"
50 reasons people control in unhealthy ways:
1. others will take advantage of them.
2. total control of others is possible and that they are controlling for others' good.
3. the world is unsafe and control can ward off danger.
4. disagreements can destroy people and being criticized is life threatening.
5. values and lifestyles differing from theirs are wrong.
6. they are superior to other people.
7. stituations are a zero-sum game in which there is always a winner and a loser.
1. were raised with excessive control and did not fully and healthily seperate from their parents.
2. grew up feeling abandoned or smothered and came to see others as potential abandoners or smotherers.
3. felt overridden and deprived as children and are terrified of being overriden and deprived as adults.
4. never felt seen as children and now insist on being the center of attention.
5. had misguided models of how to treat other people.
1. fear their needs for safety and dependency and consequently intellectualize instead of facing their fellings.
2. attempt to avoid a huge reservoir of grief anger or regret and see others' emtions as unsettling reminders.
3. are convinced they won't get gratification so they remain aloof.
4. have poor body images or conflicts about sexuality and are jealous of others' healthier or yourger bodies.
5. possess poor emotional coping skills and cannot teach others how to deal with feelings.
6. envy others' good fortune.
7. are depressed, anxious, addicted and or have poor impulse control.
1. feed off the energy of others.
2. personalize others' actions.
3. need to feel grandiose because they are petrified of feeling weak or powerless.
4. are addicted to control, which like a drug or a drink brings on a rush.
5. need to channel their desire for revenge and to feel others are dependent on them.
6 are just plain mean.
1. are unwilling to admit they have weakness or fears.
2. are angry with themselves, a spouse, a boss or their own parents but displace their anger onto others who are not as threatening.
3. act in ways that mirror their fears (eg a father who grew up in a chaotic home may be obsessed with order; a mother who was treated as stupid in childhood may exhort her children to be "smart.")
4. are in denial about their control and the pain they cause others.
5. see others as the cause of their problems and are overly suspicious.

Within a parent, there is an inner child that wants his children to be dependent on them. The adult side wants his children to become independent. But for emotional reasons this inner child overrides the adult side of the parent. When I was 37, every night my father would spend up to 30 minutes belittling me in public over dinner that I can't take care of myself.

I disagree that control is the way to prevent poor decisions. The more control you relinquish, the more they will learn. So long as you don't end up dead, or traumatized, you will be more mature from your experiences.
I am an incredibly rational individual. I have never done drugs, never drank, never had sex. I am academic, yet they still insist on attempting to micromanage my life. It's not healthy, it's abusive.

I said 'extremely controlling', but I'm not sure if that's accurate. My parents are very much in control of my life, but in my case I have to take ownership for at least some of that.
My parents were the most controlling with academic related issues. They picked my high school courses (In 9th grade they forced me to take computer programming instead of what I wanted to take - chorus, and that basically set the precedent.) They forced me to take piano lessons from kindergarten through my senior year of high school because they told me I had to play an instrument to get into a good college. They forced me to do tennis, the musicals, math league, programming club, community service, honor society. On weekends, I usually wasn't allowed to go out - I stayed home and did practice SAT tests, math league sets, and AP tests. Over the summers I worked jobs that my parents told me would look good on my resume, but I was never allowed to touch the money I made. When I wasn't working, I went to science camps and got ahead on my math coursework so that I'd have an edge over my classmates. Basically, my high school experience was just going through the motions of the schedule my parents created for me. Outside of what they told me to do, I didn't do anything.
When I first went to college, my parents basically vetoed my choice of major. I wanted to double major in biology and neuroscience, but my parents said engineering was a much more sensible career. I suppose at this point I could have stood up for myself and majored in what I wanted to, but I was so used to doing what they said that I ended up majoring in something I hated. While I was at college, I came home ~ every other weekend, and called home almost every day. Again, I probably could have grown independent if I had wanted to, but going home so often felt like somethign that was required, so I did it.
Now I'm 22, in grad school, and living back at home. My parents still make most my choices for me, but now it is definitely my fault. They say they want me to do what I want to do, but I don't know how to break out of the pattern. I feel like every time I have made a choice contrary to what they wanted me to do, it was the wrong choice. My therapist tells me that I think too much in black-and-white, but I truly believe that I always make wrong choices and they always make right choices. So now, I constantly ask my parents for advice, and pester them until they give it to me. I don't know how to make decisions, and I am absolutely terrified that I am an "adult" now.
soo.. I dunno. I love my parents. They control everything in my life, and I love them for that. lol I have issues obvi | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9847335815429688}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '81217', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VPSQML5PXHB3RNFWMMK2J5VP3UYANAKU', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:500f1cc7-f699-46ae-97c4-663adaca8be2>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 18, 7, 48, 55), 'WARC-IP-Address': '68.233.227.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ULXS4ABXFJOJXAXGMAZX4FZYKI7GJJ6N', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d48af885-9c0d-42b0-95bc-e854a11d6e25>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.suicideforum.com/community/threads/did-you-have-controlling-parents.67864/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:59e075fc-4379-4f54-8718-564072a89c9a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '3317', 'url': 'https://www.suicideforum.com/community/threads/did-you-have-controlling-parents.67864/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-218-138-106.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': '0.20834779739379883', 'original_id': 'ed3c2bde86c32f19708af1932d9588e28389c43dbc821c685498ba5485010d05'} |
