Muslims sue FBI for illegal surveillance
24.02.2011 13:16
Muslims sue FBI for illegal surveillance Federal Bureau of Investigation and its director, Robert Mueller was accused of violating the rights of American Muslims by organizing illegal monitoring of the parishioners of several mosques in southern California. About this newspaper The Los Angeles Times.
Bureau decided to sue the American Civil Liberties Union (American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (The Council on American Islamic Relations - CAIR). Defendants in the suit are the FBI itself, and seven senior offices, including Director Mueller.
Human rights activists accuse the FBI of violating the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens freedom of religion. Plaintiffs believe that the intelligence agency became interested in Muslim congregation because of the religion which they profess, but not in connection with the presence of any specific suspicion.
According to the plaintiffs, to spy on Muslims recruited by the FBI resident of California, Irvine Monteyla Craig (Craig Monteilh). A man was ordered under the guise of a Franco-Syrian infiltrate the Muslim community in southern California, to establish contacts with parishioners of the local mosque and find out whether anyone involved with any of them in terrorist activities.
Monteyl himself admits his relationship with the FBI. As he told reporters that his office has recruited in 2004 to work undercover in groups that distribute drugs. Surveillance of Muslims Monteyl, he said, began in 2006. By order of the FBI, he disguised himself as Faruq al-Aziz (Farouk Al-Aziz) and worked under the call sign "Oracle." His task was to identify potential extremists.
"Oracle" failed the task, when a few Muslims have complained of him to the police - the newly-born member of the community was too intrusive and aggressive, and once asked the Imam about his opinion about the suicide bombers.
It should be noted that since 2010 he Monteyl Craig is suing the FBI. Californian accused the bureau is that it is endangering his life and security and violated his civil rights.
Meanwhile, the FBI claims of human rights activists and Muslim militants refused to comment on. A spokeswoman Laura Eymile (Laura Eimiller) in a letter to The Los Angeles Times pointed out that the FBI is practicing surveillance of persons suspected of any criminal activity, but it never takes into account their religious beliefs.

Lentil Soup
Posted on Updated on
green lentil soup
Lentil soup can be made in many variations. Lentil soup generally consists of red,green,brown,yellow,or black lentils. I used green lentils for this soup but you can use other lentils as well or a little of each even. Some like to add chicken broth or pieces of chicken to the soup. I decided to make this soup strictly vegetarian. Lentils are used in a lot of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes be it salads,side dishes, casseroles, or soups. They are small, disc shaped legumes. They are very budget friendly and can be bought dry. Lentils are high in nutrition and shelf stable for up to 12 months, when dry. This makes them a perfect pantry staple.
When looking for facts about lentils, it is impossible to overlook their prestigious history. Recognized early on for their flavor and versatility, lentils were one of the first crops cultivated by ancient civilizations. Leading to their credibility as a super food lentils are still produced and valued by the Middle Eastern areas that first discovered them. Most of the lentils produced in the world today come from India.
Lentils are commonly used to substitute meat in vegetarian diets due to their high protein content. They are also a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Their high fiber content also help to manage blood-sugar disorder by preventing blood sugar level rising rapidly after a meal. And with their high folate and magnesium content, lentils contribute to heart and general health. And they are also good source of iron, without the added fat that are usually found in meat.
Lentil soup may include other vegetables such as carrots,tomatoes,celery,potatoes, parsley, and onions. Common flavorings are garlic, bay leaf, cumin,olive oil, and vinegar. It is sometimes garnished with croutons or chopped herbs or butter, olive oil, cream or yogurt. Indian lentil soup contains a variety of aromatic spices. In the Middle East, the addition of lemon juice adds a pungent tang.
This recipe does contain basic Middle Eastern ingredients including a chili pepper for some heat. Feel free to use other vegetables and spices outside of whats listed on this recipe. Although,however, some lentils may contain some small stones in them. Therefore, they should be thoroughly checked and rinsed before cooking them.
For this recipe, you will need:
1. 1 large onion chopped
2. 2 cloves of garlic minced
3. 1/4 cup of olive oil
4. 2 cups of lentils (choose any color and brand you like)
5. 1 bay leaf
6. 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro chopped
7. 1 teaspoon of cumin
8. 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
9. 1/2 teaspoon of cardamon
10. 3-4 plum tomatoes chopped
11. 1 small chili pepper seeded and chopped
12. 8 cups of vegetable broth or water
13. 1/3 cup of lemon juice
14. Salt and pepper to taste
In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and stir until onion is tender. Stir in garlic, chili pepper, bay leaf and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in lentils, spices, cilantro and add water/broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for at least 1 hour. Puree with hand blender till smooth. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. If soup is too spicy, add a bit more lemon juice. Serve hot.

The G.O.P. Stands By as Trump Upends American Security
In the aftermath of Helsinki, there has been outcry, but no real action, from the Republican establishment.
Fifty years ago, America was in agony. Its unity at home, and its standing abroad, were deteriorating. Today, the country again faces a profound political crisis, and the summer of 1968 is instructive. One party controls the White House and both chambers of Congress, as was the case then, when Lyndon Johnson was President. But this crisis differs in a fundamental way: fifty years ago, the President’s party had the will to respond. On April 4th, Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot dead in Memphis, and riots erupted in a hundred cities. The next day, Johnson wrote to House Speaker John W. McCormack, a Massachusetts Democrat, imploring Congress to pass the Fair Housing Act, saying, “When the Nation so urgently needs the healing balm of unity, a brutal wound on our conscience forces upon us all this question: What more can I do to achieve brotherhood and equality among all Americans?” The act passed, over a Southern filibuster, on April 10th, the day after King’s funeral.
But Democrats did not shy from using their checks and balances against Johnson. The Tet Offensive, launched in January of that year, undermined the Administration’s claim that it was winning the war in Vietnam. Senator J. William Fulbright, of Arkansas, had previously concluded that escalation was folly, and had privately tried to change Johnson’s mind. When that failed, he invoked the Senate’s constitutional responsibility to advise and consent, and, in 1966, convened a series of unprecedented public hearings on the handling of the war. By the following year, most Americans disapproved of it, and Senator Eugene McCarthy, of Minnesota, entered the race against a sitting President of his own party, arguing that duty called on him to challenge policies of “questionable legality and questionable constitutionality.”
The outcry, including from Republicans, was instant. Senator John McCain said, “No prior President has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant.” McCain’s junior colleague from Arizona, Senator Jeff Flake, called Trump’s behavior “shameful.” For the rest of the week, the President’s allies tried to signal their independence. Asked if Trump had been wise to meet one on one with Putin, Dan Coats, the director of National Intelligence, said, “I would have suggested a different way.” The Senate, in a rare act of unity, passed a nonbinding resolution against Putin’s request to interrogate American officials, a proposition that Trump had entertained but finally rejected.
More remarkable, though, was what didn’t happen. No one resigned from the Cabinet. No Republican senators took concrete steps to restrain or contain or censure the President. Julian Zelizer, a professor of history at Princeton University, noted that, fifty years ago, “you had elected officials, including the President, who were fundamentally committed to governance. They weren’t dismissive of the operation. They were cautious in how they did things because they understood the stakes of what elected officials do. None of that is true right now.”
The pattern is already visible for the historians of tomorrow. When Trump hailed neo-Nazis in Charlottesville as “very fine people,” when he endorsed an accused child molester for the Senate, when he separated children from their parents at the Mexican border, the Republican Party, by and large, accepted it. And, when Coats said, of Russian cyberattacks, that “warning lights are blinking red again,” the Party did not pressure the President to mount a defense. Meanwhile, Trump returned from Helsinki and resumed berating fellow-Americans, especially the press (“the real enemy of the people”). On Thursday, it was announced that he had invited Putin to visit Washington in the fall—an invitation that Coats learned of from an interviewer.
If Republicans decide to truly put country ahead of party, as the Democrats did in 1968, they have several options. They could halt the confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee, until Trump strengthens safeguards against election hackers and embraces the investigation into Russian interference. (Bob Corker, of Tennessee, who is departing the Senate next year, called that idea a non-starter. “I like the Supreme Court nominee,” he told reporters. “So what the heck?”) They could vote down nominees to lower courts, or threaten to switch parties. At a minimum, they could hold public hearings, like Fulbright’s, to examine Trump’s actions on trade, or NATO, or Russia. Most immediately, they could pass a law to prevent the President from firing Robert Mueller; in April, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance a bill with that intent, with four Republicans joining the Democratic members, but Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked it. The privilege of power carries the moral duty to use it.
In moments of American agony, we look for comfort in the legends of our resilience. In 1968, we found the will to govern, to unite, and to check a President who had lost his way. This is another moment for political courage. It lacks only someone to seize it. ♦

Healthy cat food
helps maintain your cat's
immune system
Healthy cat food can help support your cat’s immune system. The immune system is the body’s defense mechanism, which fights off disease through many complex processes. A good balance of antioxidants in the diet can also play a key role in the body’s immune response.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are formed during a process called oxidation, in which oxygen interacts with other compounds in the body.
Basically, free radicals are found in species who require oxygen to survive (i.e., humans, cats, dogs, etc.). These molecules are produced during normal bodily functions, such as when cells burn food for energy or the body is fighting off bacteria or viruses.
Furthermore, a free radical is any molecule that possesses an unpaired electron, making it unstable. To stabilize, a free radical will typically intrude on cells in the body. In doing so, free radicals tend to transform once stable cells into a string of unstable molecules.
Although free radicals are essential to many metabolic reactions within the body, including muscle function, digestion of food and support of the immune system’s ability to kill germs, they can cause damage when reacting with important cellular components.
As free radicals are highly reactive, they can bind to, and ultimately damage, any normal cell part within the body, such as DNA. Damage to such cell components can lead to improper cell function and even cell death.
In summary, although cats need oxygen to live (their body uses oxygen to burn “fuel,” or dietary calories), this generates detrimental by-products in the form of free radicals. Free radicals “corrode” the body by stripping electrons from any other molecules they meet in a domino-like chain reaction.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants and free radicals interact closely in the body. In fact, antioxidants are molecules that can bind to free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, thereby stabilizing them and stopping the reactions they cause. They can thus potentially reduce the damage to cells of the body.
Fortunately, when donating electrons, antioxidants do not become free radicals themselves, since they are stable in all forms.
It is estimated that each body cell endures 10,000 oxidative hits every day from free radicals. Antioxidants are very important for warding off cell damage by “cleaning up” or removing free radicals before they can do harm.
Thankfully, the body can rely on 2 types of antioxidant systems:
• The first is a set of antioxidant enzymes already present in the body. Some specific antioxidant enzymes convert free radicals into harmless water or oxygen while others degrade oxidized molecules, or clip out and replace damaged pieces of DNA.
• The second type of antioxidants are introduced to the body through diet. Vitamins and other non-vitamins such as lutein, lycopene, carotenoids and polyphenols all act as antioxidants. They can be found in ingredients such as spinach, kale, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries and green tea.
How does this work in my cat’s body?
As mentioned above, free radicals do not have a negative impact when they are formed during normal bodily functions. However, a few external factors can also trigger the production of free radicals if your cat is exposed to them. These include:
• Pollution
• Environmental stress
• Excessive sun exposure
• Manufactured chemicals
• Unbalanced exercise
• Certain medications and/or treatments
These factors create a surplus of free radicals in their body. It is the imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract their harmful effects that results in aging and age-related diseases, such osteoarthritis, neurodegeneration, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
Free radicals are most often involved in disease development or cell damage that leads to aging, whereas antioxidants are closely involved in the prevention of these.
Basically, cats’ bodies naturally do get “rusty” over time (natural degradation, environmental factors) just like metal. Free radicals act like the rusting process. Antioxidants act like rustproofing.
How can cats benefit from natural antioxidants through their diet?
Cats can also benefit from dietary antioxidants even if they have built-in defenses to reduce the impact of free radicals. Specifically, a number of plants contain naturally occurring compounds that act as antioxidants.
Various fruits and vegetables have been analyzed by scientists to measure their antioxidant power (oxygen radical absorbance capacity or ORAC). Higher ORAC values imply a higher measured antioxidant activity. For instance:
• Berries and berry products (e.g., blueberries and blackberries) are excellent antioxidant sources. With their high content of phytochemicals such as flavonoids, have been shown to improve memory in cats.1
• Carotenoids (red, yellow and orange pigments found in plant food such as carrots and tomatoes) also pack a powerful antioxidant punch. It has been shown that dietary vitamins E and C with beta-carotene reduce oxidative stress in cats with renal insufficiency. 2

Pennies: 0
In past articles I have touched upon how to play a penny stock or micro cap stock near its bottom. You will come across a lot of stocks at or near their bottoms when trading penny stocks, here are some tips for timing your purchase correctly.
Once you have found a stock you like, take a look at its 52-week high and its 52-week low. This will give you the stock’s trading range for the year. When a stock is trading near its 52-week low it has a better chance of moving upward in the trading range. When at a 52-week high, some traders may feel its to risky to purchase and will wait until there is a retrace in price. This is a general rule for the majority of penny stocks that trade within a range. There are some obvious exceptions, such as great news causing a penny stock to continually make new 52-week highs.
When a stock you like is near or at its 52-week low, you must investigate why. Search for any S-8’s, SB-2’s, or an increase in the amount of operating shares. These filings are dilution, the company will have added shares to the market causing an increase in supply and a price drop. If these filings are not present and there is no reason for the stock to have dropped this low, then it may be a good time to invest.
You should have a good reason why you like the stock before purchasing. Some major things to keep an eye on are stocks in very strong markets. Currently gold and oil stocks are strong, therefore finding undervalued gold and oil penny stocks is a good idea. Another of my favorites is finding a penny stock with an innovative product, these types of products can garner national media attention and often will draw the interest of other big companies in that field.
Ideally, you want to find a company that has increasing revenues and a lot of valuable assets. These types of companies are hard to find and you must investigate thoroughly. Often you must assume they will generate revenues in the future. Look at the amount of shares the insiders are holding: is there a small float with a large amount of insider ownership? This would be a sign that the insiders think that their shares will be very valuable in the future. At times you will also find that institutions are holding a percentage of shares, which would also be a good sign.
Using a stock screener you will be able to generate lists of stocks with institutional holders, insider buying, small floats, and strong revenues. After you generate these lists, separate them by their fields, such as technology, oil, or gold. Find the companies that interest you most in the strongest of fields and begin to read the filings. You will be able to dismiss some companies almost immediately. Keep narrowing down your search until you have a handful of companies into which you are willing to invest your hard earned money.

The Maid, one of the story folk, does not altogether approve of what he does—he goes too far—yet she is headed, forgives him, continues to secondary him, and opinions the armband around his arm. Ionesco was enrolled to France as an idea but returned to Romania in I struck Rhinoceros a bunch of times, and I don't rely much about it, except that it was about everyone being forces.
Your contribution may be further intrigued by our staff, and its publication is clear to our final approval. In all, Ionesco crowded 28 plays, some of which have been in armed performance since Ionesco claimed in Discussions and Counter Notes that he was not an option and often criticized existentialist figurehead Jean-Paul Sartre.

The late Clayton Lockett was sentenced to death for the brutal murder of Stephanie Nieman. The sentence was carried out Tuesday by the state of Oklahoma. The state used a new formula for its lethal injection, and it did not work entirely according to plan. Lockett ended up taking a little while before succumbing.
MSNBC had Lockett’s step-mother, Ladonna Hollins, on for an interview Wednesday night. Together, she and network host Ari Melber floated a conspiracy theory that Lockett was “tortured to death.”
Which, even if true, would be a sort of justice given how Lockett shot Stephanie in cold blood and then buried her alive.
Neither the host nor the guest mention Stephanie Nieman at all.
As awful as the above segment is, it may only be the runner-up for MSNBC’s worst moment of the day, as you’ll see on the next page.

Being spied on? It may be easier than you think….
by | Aug 17, 2009 | jahlberg
Not for the paranoid, but you may want to read some of the easy ways people can watch you and your information. Many of the items on the list I was aware of but quite a few I was not and found them intriguing. Good thing I’m not paranoid.
I’ve always known there was a way to remotely access someones cell phone and turn it on for real time audio and even video (think CSI), but now I know it is true and I bet you do not even need to load software on it to work in many cases (they are all web based nowadays and always on and connected….).
10 Ways Your Voice and Data Can Be Spied on
By Tim Greene
Mon, July 27, 2009 — Network World — Attackers seeking to do harm or mischief to networks work with an ever expanding arsenal of tools that sometimes seem to be the stuff of spy fiction, but they are all too real.
Here are 10 cloak-and-dagger ways, legal and illegal, to secretly tap into networks and computers to capture data and conversations.
1. Wireless keyboard eavesdropping: has released an open source hardware design and accompanying software for a device that captures then decrypts signals from wireless keyboards. The device uses a wireless receiver that can be concealed in clothing or disguised as a common object that could be left on a desk near a PC to pick up signals.
Called Keykeriki, the technology targets 27MHz wireless keyboards to exploit insecurities that discovered earlier. The company plans to build and sell the hardware.
2. Wired keyboard eavesdropping: Electromagnetic pulses that keyboards make to signal what key is being hit travel through the grounding system of the keyboard and the computer itself as well as the ground for the electrical wiring in the building where the computer is plugged in.
Probes placed on the ground for the electric wiring can pick up these electromagnetic fluctuations, and they can be captured and translated into characters. The potential for this type of eavesdropping has been known for decades, and many experts believe spy agencies have refined techniques that make it practical. Andrea Barisani and Daniele Bianco, researchers for network security consultancy Inverse Path, are presenting their quick-and-dirty research on the topic at this year’s Black Hat USA conference in the hopes of sparking more public research of these techniques.
3. Laptop eavesdropping via lasers: Bouncing lasers off laptops and capturing the vibrations made as keys are struck give attackers enough data to deduce what is being typed. Each key makes a unique set of vibrations different from any other. The space bar makes an even more unique set, Barisani and Bianco say.
Language analysis software can help determine which set of vibrations correspond to which key, and if the attacker knows the language being used, the message can be exposed, they say.
4. Commercial keyloggers: Early keyloggers were devices attached in-line with keyboards, but they advanced to software tools that grab keystrokes and store or send them to an attack server. Commercial versions have the software loaded on memory sticks that can dump the software on a computer and then be reinserted later to download the collected data.
5. Cell phones as remotely activated bugs: Software loaded onto certain models of cell phones can silence the ringers and cut off the light displays that would normally be triggered when calls are made to them. The caller can then listen in on conversations in the room where the phone is located.
According to press reports, the FBI received court permission to use this technique to spy on suspected Mafia members in New York.
6. Cell phone SIM card compromise: If attackers can get possession of a cell phone briefly, they can use commercially available software to download and read SIM cards and their store of phone numbers, call logs, SMS messages, photos and so on.
For instance
PhoneFile Pro is software on a USB stick that claims to enable both the download and the display of the data.
7. Law enforcement wiretapping based on voice print: Phone company voice switches include software that can search all conversations going through it for voices that match sets of voiceprints. Whenever the switch makes a match, it can trigger a recording of the conversation and alert law enforcement officials, says James Atkinson, an expert in technical surveillance countermeasures.
The feature is designed to support communications assistance for law enforcement (CALEA) — the law that requires phone companies to provide wiretapping access under court order to specific communications traffic.
8. Remote capture of computer data: Under a sketchy technique called Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier (CIPAV), the FBI has remotely tracked down data about individual computers.
Details of the technology have never been publicly revealed, but they were used to track down high-school students who sent e-mail bomb threats. CIPAV grabs IP and MAC addresses, running processes, visited Web sites, versions of operating systems, registered owner and logging of computers the target computers connect to. It is believed the software that does this is dropped in via exploiting instant messaging.
9. Cable TV as an exploitable network: Because most cable TV networks are essentially hubbed, any node can monitor any other node’s traffic, says James Atkinson, an expert in technical surveillance countermeasures. By and large security is rudimentary and the encryption used could be hacked by someone with basic technical skills and readily available decryption tools, he says.
10. Cell phone monitoring: Commercially available software claims to capture cell phone conversations and texting. Attackers need to get physical access to the phone to upload the software that enables this.
There are several commercial brands on the market, but there are also online complaints that the software doesn’t work as advertised or is more complicated to use than the vendors let on.

Stressful Life Events are Associated with a Poor In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Outcome: A Prospective Study
This study examined the outcomes of IVF cycles for 800 women and found that the chance of success was related to chronic stress levels. They surmised that chronic stress levels may have a negative effect on follicle development in an IVF cycle. Since acupuncture has been shown to reduce stress hormones, this may be the mechanism behind its benefit for IVF patients.
Background: There is preliminary evidence to suggest an impact of stress on chances of achieving a pregnancy with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The majority of the available research has focused on stress related to infertility and going through IVF-treatment, and it is still unclear whether non-fertility-related, naturally occurring stressors may influence IVF pregnancy chances. Our aim was to explore the association between IVF-outcome and negative, i.e. stressful life-events during the previous 12 months.
Methods: Prior to IVF, 809 women (mean age: 31.2 years) completed the List of Recent Events (LRE) and questionnaires measuring perceived stress and depressive symptoms.
Results: Women who became pregnant reported fewer non-fertility-related negative life-events prior to IVF (Mean: 2.5; SD: 2.5) than women who did not obtain a pregnancy (Mean: 3.0; SD: 3.0) (t[465.28] = 2.390, P = 0.017). Logistic regression analyses revealed that the number of negative life-events remained a significant predictor of pregnancy (OR: 0.889; P = 0.02), when controlling for age, total number of life-events, perceived stress within the previous month, depressive symptoms, and relevant medical factors related to the patient or treatment procedure, including duration of infertility, number of oocytes retrieved and infertility etiology. Mediation analyses indicated that the association between negative life events and IVF pregnancy was partly mediated by the number of oocytes harvested during oocyte retrieval.
Conclusion: A large number of life-events perceived as having a negative impact on quality of life may indicate chronic stress, and the results of our study indicate that stress may reduce the chances of a successful outcome following IVF, possibly through psychobiological mechanisms affecting medical end-points such as oocyte retrieval outcome.

Well-Known Gun Grabber Unintentionally Makes the Case for Arming Teachers
Shannon Watts, the leader of Moms Demand Action, unintentionally made a case for arming teachers in schools in a tweet about the Michigan High School shooting.
Yesterday, a student in Michigan shot and killed three of his fellow students and wounded eight others. The alleged killer was ultimately taken into custody.
According to several media reports, it took police approximately five minutes to arrest the sophomore student who allegedly took his father’s handgun to the school.
School resource officers were also on-site, but it still took them some time to respond.
Watts tweeted about the response time, and here is what she said,
In under five minutes and despite multiple security guards on campus, a 15-year-old with access to a semiautomatic handgun was able to kill a 16-year-old boy and two girls, ages 14 and 17, and wound eight others.
It’s the guns.”
Gun owners have long said that police are just too far away, even if a school resource officer is on-site. Shootings typically end within seconds, maybe a minute or two.
Watts admits that it took law enforcement five minutes to end the incident in Michigan. But, by doing so, Watts is making a case for arming teachers.
In addition to Watts tweet, a story has gone viral of what many believed to be the shooter outside a classroom pretending to be a police officer. What if he had gained entry into that classroom?
What if a teacher had been carrying or had access to a firearm? Could they have potentially saved lives? We certainly believe so.
While Watts is trying to destroy the 2nd Amendment, those of us who understand liberty and freedom know that the 2nd Amendment is crucial to the survival of this country.
The only way to try and do what Watts wants is to completely ban all firearms, which isn’t Constitutional or feasible. We can’t keep actual people from crossing our border illegally, so what makes Watts think we can ban guns and get rid of them all?
It’s time to let teachers who want to be armed do so.
Teachers who want to be armed can train with law enforcement and help protect our children long before law enforcement will even arrive.
What do you think about arming school teachers who want to be armed? Let us know your stance in the comments!

Question: Complimentary members- Do they have e-mail capabilities?
Dear LouWe have a question about getting in touch with members whose profile reads "complimentary". Can they receive e-mails or send out e-mails? Or, are they just able to view profiles?
Dear (Anonymous),
To answer your question it is No.
On the Lifestyle Lounge we have two types of memberships: complimentary and exclusive. Basically an exclusive membership is a paid membership that offers the full functionality of the site. While the complimentary membership is a free membership with reduced functionality.
The simple fact of the matter is that providing a site such as the Lifestyle Lounge costs an incredible amount of time, money and resources. And as such, we can't provide the service for free. As a result, complimentary memberships must be reduced in the features that cost us money in bandwidth, which are primarily email and photo viewing, as well as some other features.
With that said many members re subscribe and are only on the limited membership a short time. Hopefully you emailing them will the impetus for them to resubscribe so they can read and respond to your email.
**A special thanks to the admin who answered this question for me :)

What Are Some Impediments to Consensus?
Lack of Training
It is necessary to train people in the theory and practice of Consensus. Until Consensus is common form of decision-making in our society, new participants will need some way of learning about the process. It is important to offer regular opportunities for training. If learning about Formal Consensus is not made easily accessible, it will limit full participation and create inequities which undermine this process. Also, training provides opportunities for people to improve their skills, particularly facilitation skills, in a setting where experimentation and role-plays can occur.
External Hierarchical Structures
It can be difficult for a group to reach Consensus internally when it is part of a larger group which does not recognize or participate in the Consensus process. It can be extremely frustrating if those external to the group can disrupt the decision-making by interfering with the process by pulling rank. therefore, it is desirable for individuals and groups to recognize that they can be autonomous in relation to external power if they are willing to take responsibility for their actions.
Social Prejudice
Everyone has been exposed to biases, assumptions, and prejudices which interfere with the spirit of cooperation and equal participation. All people are influenced by these attitudes, even though they may deplore them. People are not generally encouraged to confront these prejudices in themselves or others. Members of a group often reflect social biases without realizing or attempting to confront and change them. If the group views a prejudicial attitude as just one individual's problem, then the group will not address the underlying social attitudes which create such problems. It is appropriate to expose, confront, acknowledge, and attempt to resolve socially prejudicial attitudes, but only in the spirit of mutual respect and trust. Participants are responsible for acknowledging when their attitudes are influenced by disruptive social training and for changing them. When a supportive atmosphere for recognizing and changing undesirable attitudes exists, the group as a whole benefits.

Simulation of the oscillation of a star. The graph represents the variations over time of the luminosity of the Sun, such that they have been observed with the VIRGO experience on board the SOHO spacecraft. These variations are very faint, a few millionths of the total luminosity. The length of the recording is 300 seconds. The variations are due to the superposition of numerous oscillation modes.

The dimensions, the shape, and the internal structure of an object determine the way it can vibrate. A plate does not sound the same way when it is cracked; a glass does not sound the same way depending on its shape or how high it is filled.
The ensemble of "vibration modes" of an object is specific and it is something that characterizes it. The associated frequencies reveal its structure.
Detecting and measuring these vibrations give us information on the object, in particular on its interior (inaccessible to direct observation in the case of the stars) and on what causes the vibrations.
The stellar sismology enables us to study the interior of the stars.
The stars have permanent periodic movements, observed for the first time in the Sun about twenty years ago. These vibrations are, in general, very faint and very difficult to observe in distant stars.
However, analyzed with sismology techniques, they allow us to "observe" the interior of the stars, often very different from the Sun.
By observing these oscillations in stars with different masses, ages and origins, we will be able to determine the history of their evolution. That's what CoRoT will reveal for the first time.

Mediators Offer CompromiseIn Effort to Salvage Doha Deal
Mediators for the World Trade Organization's troubled talks on farming and industrial goods proposed a compromise meant to save the Doha free-trade accord. Under the compromise, the U.S. would have to cut its trade-distorting farm subsidies to between $13 billion and $16.4 billion a year, while developing countries such as Brazil, China and India would have to open their markets for more industrial imports. The European Union appears to have largely satisfied the trade body's demands for liberalizing its farm markets.
China Forges More Energy Ties
China signed a deal to produce and import natural gas from Turkmenistan, a big step in the realignment of the resource-rich Central Asian nation away from its former rulers in Russia. Chinese media reported that under the accord, China National Petroleum Corp. will import 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year for 30 years. Separately, a Bahrain developer announced a $5 billion plan to build a business park for the oil industry outside Beijing.
Japan Activity Slipped in May
Japanese economic activity slipped 0.1% in May from April, but analysts say the outlook for the economy remained positive overall, leaving intact expectations that Japan's central bank will tighten monetary policy in August. The tertiary industry index fell to a seasonally adjusted 110.2 in May, after increasing a revised 1.6% in April, Japan said. The tertiary index, which is considered a close approximation for gross-domestic-product growth as measured by industrial- and service-sector output, reflects activity in 11 service industries.

How did the nullification crisis escalate the ongoing debate over states’ rights?
Solution PreviewSolution Preview
Nullification is a legal concept related to United States constitutional history. It means that a state has a right to make a federal law legally void and not enforceable within the territory of the state. The state declares a federal law unconstitutional and thus not applicable.
Nullification crisis started in 1832 when South Carolina issued an Ordinance of Nullification towards the federal Tariffs of 1828 and 1832. The crisis escalated to the point where the US president Jackson had to intervene and he even gained power (Force Bill) that authorized him to use military forces against South Carolina....

Pointing the Finger
It is perplexing to try to relate with Mary Rowlandson’s perspective. I do not want to discredit her struggles- but it becomes difficult to understand that as an adult woman, she is not entirely a victim. Since her husband had particularly close relations with the natives, I felt Mary should have been the first to know if there were certain issues on the verge of rising. Torn between the thought of a war or if she is to be seen as a slave, I will try my best to pry apart the two viewpoints.
Mary Rowlandson is in an interesting possible exclusion when being related to John Locke’s rhetoric. I am moved by John Locke’s viewpoint in the sense that I feel the world would be much better if everyone respected each other’s ideals and treated each other equally. Ideally, this would have allowed for everyone to be seen as equal. Where it becomes interesting however is that the Natives are not playing by the same rules as the newly arrived Europeans. I do consider the hostage situation of Mary to be a type of slavery. Even though Mary is sewing and providing her services as a form of bartering, she is not doing so willingly. I do see Mary trying to survive day-by-day. There is a warlike view on how the natives keep fleeing and moving randomly as the English are on their tails throughout the reading. Mary does use her religion as a way to help herself feel safe, even with the multiple deaths of some of the immediate people in her life.
I found extremely interesting how her children were named Joesph and Mary. I related this to the original biblical story of Joesph and Mary. Mary is questioned about her faith with the lord and her trust is tested. So I felt that when her kids Joesph and Mary were taken from her, she lost her trust. Of course, they are reunited at the end, but it builds a lot of biblical connection throughout as she is a devoted Puritan. I feel that by Mary playing victim and developing sympathy from the readings however, it contributes to the genocide. The natives are not seen as human or worthy of the lands and therefore are not taken seriously.
As treaties start to get broken by the new generations of Puritans and migrants, more chaos ensues for the Natives. King Philip pointed out how his father helped when the Mayflower arrived, and then slowly but surely there was more and more conflict as the years passed. The conflicts were possible because many of the newer generations were not true and as close to their Puritan faith. Therefore, it could be the ideals John Locke wrote of were not able to be met because people did not take the word of the lord as seriously and became more focused on colonizing, expansion, and obtaining as much land as possible. The natives were therefore seen as barbaric which brought upon war, kidnappings, genocide, and chaos.

New Release: The Necro Device
To be released on April 21st on & Createspace
“A page-turner of darkest depths, betrayal, fear, and layers of hidden agendas all play parts in this intense, pulse-pounding thriller.”
The story of The Necro Device begins several decades in the past with the Mandiev brothers. They were extreme circus performers and traveled the world with an amazing, yet daring, show. Their stepfather – Vince Stevens trained them in the arts and taught them everything they knew, but it was for another reason, one that will later haunt and control the community for years to come. Vince built a device that required elemental energy, human energy, to power it. It required four types total, and like a combination, depending on the four elements used, it produced a specific result.
In the case of the Mandiev brothers, each of them was trained in a specific element: Marcus was trained in the arts of physical endurance and regeneration – Body. Phillip was trained to master telepathic and mental abilities – Mind. Christopher was trained to withstand extremely cold temperatures – Ice. Ryan was the master of hell itself – Fire. The combination of elemental energy determined the machines output. If every requirement was met and it was designed correctly, it could then be powered up and operated one time before it would ultimately destroy itself.
The device was never meant to be built.
After constructing the machine, Vince later meets an untimely death, and somebody begins charging it. The Mandiev brothers are killed, and the machine is primed. 30 years later, Mary and John Hilt are hired to restore the Mandiev estate and begin to unravel decades of betrayal and a diabolical plot. Something has gone wrong with the machine, and it has been operating for years. What is it? What does it do? Who’s operating it? These questions and more will be answered as Mary discovers her fate and the secret behind The Necro Device. It has a purpose…
Extended Description: The Necro Device at its core is about a machine, control, and betrayal. The author M. T. Dismuke enjoys writing about technology and wrapping it up inside a darker world where it then becomes malefic and deadly. He then creates plots filled with twists and subplots which is exactly what The Necro Device is from the very moment the novel is cracked open to the very end. The story itself is an intricate web of betrayal and secrets cast over an entire community in order to maintain control over the machine… Discover its purpose.
Michael T. Dismuke is an American Thriller Author born in Vicenza, Italy. He’s lived in Colorado for over 35 years and has studied Electronics, Software and Industrial Engineering. He began writing at a very young age which included interactive stories, computer games, campfire tales, and short stories. After receiving his college degree, he focused more on writing.
In 2003 he wrote his first novel The Necro Device which later would become his first published novel in 2011. He is one of few authors that write in the present tense and does it extremely well.

Your five-step retirement planning guide
Your five-step retirement planning guide
Retirement can be a complicated process that requires significant planning. Near-retirees are often still unsure whether they’ll have the funds to sustain their lifestyle in retirement. Perhaps you are considering retiring soon, or earlier. If you’re young, however, you’re already ahead of most people since you can still take action to improve your chances of retiring well. Regardless of your situation, the five steps to retirement in this article should help.
Focus on your retirement plan
Everything starts with a plan. If you are willing to retire even a year early, how much effort will it take to spend a few days looking at your finances to develop a sophisticated plan to reach your goal? It would be best to start by deciding how much money you need to retire. You can do this by illustrating your retirement. Planning your retirement budget includes questions like how you would like to live and where you would like to live, along with many more factors to consider. The first step should always be to work towards a clear goal.
You should monitor your finances and progress.
Every month, take some time to assess whether you’re on track with your budget and financial situation. Setting monthly goals for yourself that can be quickly evaluated at the end of the month can be extremely helpful. Assessing your goals will allow you to see what you like splurging on and where it is easier to save money. Tracking spending also creates helpful insights on what you will need in retirement.
Build your wealth
To retire quicker, you need to make your money work for you. Compound interest is critical here and makes planning for retirement easier when you start younger. But if you’re a bit older, don’t panic just yet. Building wealth is not complex, but it requires discipline. The money you can save should be put away towards either active or passive investments to make a dent in your retirement requirements. Determine if you’re ready and how you can make retirement work It can help to keep track of all your pensions, investments and whatever you might have in an Excel sheet. If you’ve kept track of everything and rely on statistical averages, you should have a good idea of whether you can retire in a certain number of years. Or you might already be there.
Implement your retirement plan
The ‘hard’ part is the implementation, where you’ll most likely find challenges and pitfalls that you had not anticipated beforehand. It will be highly likely you’ll still be invested in the stock market when you retire. You can always rely on your retirement fund when things aren’t working out. You should always test your budget to determine your retirement plan’s probability of success and failure.

Jo's perspective:
I wanted to send my mom to a mental hospital when she said moving to Minnesota would be fun. Unfortunately I can't and I'm moving. Goodbye sun and warmth of North Carolina, hello frostbite and icicles of Minnesota.
********4 days later in Minnesota********
"Sweetie, hurry up, you have school!" My mom yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" I replied. I looked in the mirror one last time, I was in light blue jeans and a pretty patterned shirt. My VeraBradley backpack was on my shoulders. As I walked downstairs, my white vans squeaked. My mom drove me to school, I found my locker, then went to class. So far this day wasn't very interesting, well until about 10 minutes into 1st period. A boy with dirty blonde hair and sparkling green eyes walked in. He was wearing a gray shirt, jeans so dark blue they were almost black (but not quite) and black vans.
"Why are you so late, Mr. Knight?" The teacher asked.
"Why do you care? I don't pay attention in your class anyway." He replied, high five-ing three friends before sitting down. The teacher handed him a detention pass but he ripped it up. Right before he got yelled at he explained, "Don't worry, I'll go to detention, but I go there everyday, I don't need a pass- if I'm not there the principal calls home to see if I'm in the hospital!" Everyone laughed, including me...this kid was bad news but he was kinda funny. But our teacher sighed and went back to teaching. At the end of class I walked up to the late boy.
"Hey, I'm Jo Taylor, I'm new." I introduced myself, he almost laughed. I don't understand why he would laugh.
"Sup, I'm Kendall." He replied and I moved on from the laughing thing.
"Cool, what class do you have next?" I asked him, maybe he would have the same one as me.
"Ugh, I have to go to English next..." He replied. He did have the same class as me, maybe he could show me the way!
"Same!" I said, smiling.
"Cool," he started as we walked towards the door, he seemed nice enough. "Tell the teacher I died, okay." He punched my shoulder and walked to his friends.
"Let's go play some hockey!" One of Kendall's friends said.
"But we have school," Another stated, clearly the most behaved.
"Who cares?" The last one questioned. Soon they were too far away to hear but I stood still in shock. Why would I tell the teacher he died? And how am I even supposed to find the teacher?
'I can do this,' I thought as I began searching for my class.
Kendall's perspective:
"Dude, who's the chick?" My friend, James asked.
"I don't know but she didn't seem to know I don't do preppy girls." I replied as we continued walking to the ice rink.
"Well, I do!" James replied.
"We've noticed." Another one of my friends, Logan, replied.
"This isn't about girls, it's about hockey!" My crazy friend, Carlos, replied.
"I agree with Carlos," I said as we entered the skating rink. We decided to go back to school in time for lunch so we could get food. At lunch, I saw Jo again. Wow, her blonde hair was pretty. "Yo, Jo! Did you tell the teacher I died?"
"No!" She snapped.
"See, unreliable, I told you James." I glared at Jo, even though I thought she was super hot.
"Their shouldn't have to be reliable sources!" Logan exclaimed.
"Oh shut up, Logan." Carlos muttered.
"Carlos, that was rude! Nice work!" James laughed as we walk to our normal table.
Jo's perspective:
Today had been an interesting first day but I was happy to go home.

Chemical Mindfuck
by Nietzsche
Citation: Nietzsche. "Chemical Mindfuck: An Experience with 5-MeO-DMT (exp18239)". Oct 17, 2002.
15 mg smoked 5-MeO-DMT (powder / crystals)
After searching long and hard, I recieved 250mg 5-MeO-DMT in the mail the other day. The vendor had a good reputation and actually was kind enough to sell me half of their usual quantity for half the price. I was pleased.
I've been intrigued for years and although N,N DMT would be my first choice for experimentation, I simply don't have access to the pure compound. As far as I've read 5-MeO-DMT seems like the less-visual but more intense brother of N, I did expect it to be reminiscent and indicative of an actual N,N experience.
This experience was to be the pinnacle of all my hallcinogen use throughout the years. I've experimented heavily with Psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, MDMA and Salvinorin. I've tried massive doses of Ketamine, DXM and done all the usuals: cocaine, heroin, THC, Meth, benzos, opiate analgesics etc. But 5-MeO was one of the most, (if not the most) dissapointing experiences ever.
I've been looking for a reference point for the absolutely incredible experience I had on salvinorin A. I had known that the only psychedelics that were considered as brutally intense were the dimethyl tryptamines or I was ready for this.
I measured about 15mg of the 5-MeO and dropped it into the glass meth pipe that I purchased the day earlier. Previous test smoking experiences showed that the crystals quickly turn to liquid and the liquid ran down my stright glass-pipe when I inhaled, causing problems (and wasting the drug). So now I'm starting with a more refined pipe.
I liquified the 5-MeO with my butane torch lighter and held the fire under the liquid to vaporize every last bit. I proceeded to take a mega-monster hit, holding the plastic-tasting smoke in my lungs for as long as I absolutely could. I started feeing the 5-MeO within 5 seconds but held the smoke for about 25 seconds.
I was barely able to lay the pipe down and get cozy on my bed when the trip began. I instantly felt the flood of a 'chemical' substance to my brain. It felt extremely chemical-like and I felt very superficial receptors in my brain spinning out of control. Nausea began to escalate. Quick spinning color spikes were my predominate vision and painful 'surface' brain processes were getting exponentially harder to deal with until the brain-pain became almost unbearable. There was a moment when I think I almost passed out. This really all just felt like it was going on in my head. I had no dissociation at all. It didn't even really produce any hallucinations other than these spinning color-spikes in my forevision. Near the PEAK of the trip I remember thinking that this will definitely be my one and only 5-MeO trip and how I might go about getting rid of other 200mg's. I was pissed this crap cost so much money. I will admit though, at the peak I was in so much out-of-control brain-pain that I wasn't sure I'd make it back alive or without seriously frying my noggin. On one level (the deeper, introspective level) I was almost completely sober. This sober level just tried to hold on while watching my surface level go completely haywire. Thus, being conscious, this trip was not in the least bit profound.
This trip reminded me of massive amounts of N20 mixed with 500mcg LSD (and a hammer to the back of the head) but without hallucinations and extremely painful. It also reminded me of what it might be like to kill yourself with inhalants. It felt like ethyl ether, acetone and glue were cooking my brain....not fun at all. The best words I can find to describe it are: chemical mindfuck. There was nothing deep about this experience, not even its intensity was deep. Yes, it was extremely intense, but intense in the way that you might find after getting your legs amputated by a train... No real stinging or burning of the actual cuts but your brain just pulsating and boiling with a pain cyclone of screaming neurotransmitters.
It really did just affect only a small part of my brain intensely. I was not completely immersed in the experience unlike with salvinorin A. Maybe I was looking for something wildly intense that was also somewhat of a dissociative... but this isn't it. In my estimation 5-MeO-DMT is complete crap. Not even remotely entheogenic for me. I could get better results banging my head on the curb.
I sure hope N,N DMT isn't anything like this worthless excuse for a drug or tryptamines and I may be parting ways for a while.

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT's life and work tell us much about the American female experience, of little women created so strenuously, trying always to be good. Often heroic in their self-repression, they went beyond the dictates of culture, suppressing more and more of themselves in order to gain the approval and love of men. Martha Saxton's excellent biography, based on manuscript sources, is a portrait of an artist arrested in young womanhood whose work embodies her predicament.
Saxton begins her study with a thoughtful analysis of Little Women as the book of Louisa May's life, an index to her character, conflicts and values. In the first sections of Saxton's narrative one only glimpses little Louisa. That Alcott never fully emerged from the family narrative is the point of Saxton's book; its structure subtly matches her argument, showing why Louisa cannot tell her own story directly, why she will always remain a daughter. Alcott was well aware of her attachments; she wrote in her diary, "Shall never live my own life."
Louisa called hers the "pathetic family," a term of endearment that contained more disturbing emotions. Saxton depicts Alcott's mother Abba, the saintly marmee of Little Women, as a vivid example of self-sacrifice and martyrdom - a force of engulfing, terrifying love who represented to her daughter the real world where women suffered at the hands of men, helpless, hysterically dependent. Her father, Bronson, at best a benevolent despot is, according to Saxton, the major creater of little women "on their way to complete diminution." Transcendental philosopher and natural foods fanatic, he was not a breadwinner. Relatives and Concord neighbors like Emerson helped support the family until Louisa assumed the burden. Difficult and distant, Bronson symbolized all men to Louisa: untrustworthy, unfathornable, sometimes worthy of idealization, yet always the harbingers of disappointment and rejection, men were never merely the equals of women. Caught between her mother's love and her father's coldness, if not disapproval, Louisa took up the pen, seeking to stabilize her emotions in writing.
Louisa had been taught, Saxton writes, to "behave as if every day is someone else's birthday," and Alcott as author never forgot that lesson. Like many women writers she denied that writing was self-assertion, converting it to self-sacrifice - a feminine activity and a menial task she undertook to please her public in order to support her family - an act of charity. Thus her pen became another instrument of repression, her writing "another extension of her entrapment." The emotional complexity and conflict Louisa experienced almost disappeared when she poured them into the acceptable cultural molds of her "official" work. Only characters like Jo remained vital, still in the process of effacing themselves into little womanhood.
Happily, Louisa found another mode - "lurid" gothic fiction - in which she could express forbidden aspects of herself. Peopled with dark villains and sensual, aggressive women, these tales were published under a pseudonym and created in what Louisa called her "vortex," a psychological space of her own uninhabited by little women. Saxton portrays her writing from that interior with "manic abandon," enjoying these binges no matter how they tired her, actually pleasing herself, until she relinquished her private words to her public works and persons.
Between the worlds of gothic romance and the domestic novel of true womanhood lay an unexplored region of adult emotions and ideas, a dangerous territory for Alcott to enter. Putting aside the formulas and assumptions of Little Women, she made this journey in Moods, an interesting, difficult novel that remained her favorite although her public spurned it. Privately denouncing public taste, she bitterly conformed to it, giving her literary power to the people, insisting she had no choice - forsaking the voice and range of Moods.
Louisa May's life, so sadly constricted by self and society, was also plagued with illness. During her brief service as a Civil War nurse, Alcott was dosed with calomel, a poisonous mercury compound routinely prescribed in the period for myriad infections and diseases. Her health steadily deteriorated as the mercury moved mysteriously through her body, attacking almost without warning, dancing at last into her vital organs. The pain became unendurable as she watched her mother die, then her father. The reader knows at this point in Saxton's graceful and forcefully constructed life of Louisa May, relentless as tragedy, that she cannot survive her family. That is the moral of Little Women that Alcott told us in spite of herself.

The western world is a pro-Ana site
For those of you who don’t already know, “Pro-Anorexia” or “Pro-Ana” websites are designed to help people who already have disorders be able to continue with them. It is sick. They often include things like lists of “safe foods” that have the lowest possibly calorie content, and “thinspiration” which includes pictures of models and actresses to “trigger” people to continue on their quest to be thin.
It’s hard to imagine just how disturbing these sites really are unless one visits them.
However, as disturbing as this is, I believe I found something more disturbing, and here it is.
When I began to sort through this trough of hell known as pro-ana sites on the web, I was saddened to the point of tears and silmulteously so enraged by the thought that people are out there promoting the kind of horror that I endured that I wanted to get in my car, drive to each of their houses, throw them up against the wall by their collars and knock some damn sense into them. In fact the only thing holding me back from this is knowing that they’re mentally ill, not evil.
So, because I had found something that actually shocked me and disturbed me to this point, I felt it necessary to share it with everyone I could and it was reactions that disturbed me the most.
When most people see a pro-ana site, they are horrified and saddened and upset. They see the pictures of models and actresses that women and girls are using to prolong their illness and it makes them sick. But take those same models and actresses out of this context, and most of those same people sickened by it worship it as the perfect body type. For example: a couple of guy friends I know looked at pro-ana sites and were appalled, but I know very well that theres a copy of Playboy or Maxim or something sitting in their living rooms with women just like that in the pages and they don’t seem appalled by that!
Let’s be honest. It’s not like the people who put together pro-ana sites have to search hard to find pictures of starving women. Most models and actresses today in the west are significantly underweight. Not some, not a few, most. But apparently it takes a site advocating eating disorders for people to realize this??? That’s ridiculous! People need to become aware of this. It is a cultural disease! Pro-ana sites give people tips on how to become and stay ridiculously thin, they show them pictures of people who are already ridiculously thin, and they heavily enforce the idea that beauty is all and thin is all beauty. So I ask you, how is this different from everything the general media points to? It’s Not noticias.
If you think pro-ana sites are appalling, just turn on your TV, open a magazine or surf the net for a moment and you’ll see that what we live in is just one huge pro-ana society.

Those two businesses have endorsed legislation in the House that would replace stricter rules in St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia with statewide regulations.
Jim Ready is the manager of Kansas City's Regulated Industries Division. He said it's important for regulations to address each city's specific needs.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Taxicab Commission has already sued Uber over allegations the companies' drivers are not complying with the city's licensing rules. Regulators say those rules are for public safety.
An Uber representative said more uniform regulations would allow the company to expand out of the state's metropolitan regions. Uber says its internal policies are sufficient to ensure customer safety.

Seeing commitment phobia as the loss of one's individuality and independence is therefore unrealistic. There is so much to be gained in a life with a partner that supercedes the alleged "loss" of independence. It admittedly takes risk, but by following the steps outlined above, perhaps you'll finally experience how the benefits outweigh the "loss" in the end.

it could have been any one of the reasons you list. it would make sense she wouldnt want to drive after taking drugs, does she know you are against drugs (if you are)? it would be unusual for someone to not turn on their mobile and check if they had a text during the evening, and its actually just as likely thats the case as being unfaithful. you can speculate and deliberate into the middle of next week and not come up with the right answer, id talk to her as soon as possible so you dont get things too set in your mind, as long as you have your thoughts gathered. whatevers happened, it was plain thoughtless of her to leave you in that position.

The Disasters Darwinism Brought To Humanity
The bloody history of communism-2
The only solution to communist terror is anti-communist intellectual activity
There can be no reconcile with communist terror
The PKK’s Jugular Vein Can Be Severed by Anti Materialist Intellectual Propaganda
Marxism is a religion and terror is the form of worship for this religion. PKK acts according to the Sunnah of Stalin and Lenin.
The Communism that Has Drenched Mankind in Blood - 1
Communism real dictatorship
Not a struggle against men or armies, but ideologies
The Danger Revealed by the Election Results in the Southeast
There can be no compromise with communist terror
Unbelievers cannot do anything. For instance, the PKK wants to do something and God casts troubles on them. Hitler attempted to do something and God casts troubles on him. Mussolini tried and God ruined him. Stalin and Lenin wanted to do something and God ruined them all. God says that He would ruin all of them, and that they can never be successful.
If you believe in Islam and the Qur'an, unbelief would certainly be defeated. God states in the Qur'an that unbelief would certainly be defeated. Lenin was defeated, Marx was defeated. Darwin was defeated; they all have been defeated. The PKK will be defeated as well.
The government should press the issue of Darwinism. Darwinism is a system that directly denies God: The whole world denies God in schools. This is the promised antichrist; Darwin is an antichrist. He is the person who developed the idea of denying God. Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini all derived their ideologies from that philosophy. The antichrist has a committee and those committees have sub-committees. The PKK is a structure that has ideological connections to those committees.
Lenin instructs communists such that they should have no compassion or conscience. This is the basic of the PKK terrorism.
Why would Lenin avoid the subject of secret beyond matter?
Lenin defends terrorism, which is the basis of Marxist-Leninist ideology. To end terror, this philosophy should be intellectually defeated.
Putin is the first Russian politician in history to criticize Lenin, the communist revolution and the British deep state
Which great British families sponsored Lenin and Trotsky during the Bolshevik revolution?
Lenin was a politician that took Darwinism as basis for his ideas. The anarchy and terror Lenin defended is based on Darwinism.

This is my 40th year as a consultant for roofing contractors. A lot has changed but a lot has stayed the same. The contracting business is an ever-churning whirlpool of short term crisis and deadlines. The very nature of employing people, feeding those employees material and maintaining production deadlines is all consuming. Weeks have a way of turning into months and months turning into years. Keeping people within your roofing company and your organization itself fresh is not easy.
As people and organizations age, both have a tendency to get stuck, exhibit an unwillingness to change and over time can become outdated. The sheer daily grind of getting things done makes it tough to improve. When you’re knee deep in alligators, the mere thought of employing a more efficient way to kill those alligators is overwhelming.
So how do you and your organization stay fresh? It starts with leadership and implementing a process that forces change. We are all familiar with the “I meant to get to it” or “TUIT” problem. “I meant to get to training people.” “I meant to upgrade the software.” So what are some things you can do to force change?
First, if you, as owner and leader don’t force change, who will do it? Management without leadership is like polishing the deck rail on the Titanic. At the time it seems really important, but in the big picture it really doesn’t matter.
Our networking groups have taught me some valuable consulting realities and tools. Our groups have several reasons for their tremendous success and we have contractors who started in the group 25 years ago that are still in it today.
1. Avoid Isolation
As a business owner and roofing contractor, you’re too close to the problem to see it objectively. Most contractors suffer from inbreeding and building internally. Having an outside set of eyes can be helpful. If you hire a consultant, make sure that person has small business experience. Consultants from large corporations don’t necessarily give good hands-on advice. Consider visiting an out of state contractor or a local sub not in your trade such as a mechanical or electrical contractor. Many of the processes are the same.
2. Be Public
Meet within your company and set some goals for change publicly. If you don’t make changes public, they won’t happen. My most successful consulting processes always involve more than one trip; never just writing a report. People scramble to get things done before you come back. Even if it’s a couple of days before you return, the public nature of accountability forces folks to get it done.
3. Inform Everyone
Some of the mature employees may not be so quick to change, so be sure to make them part of the public process and encourage them to participate. It’s important to remember you’re not doing these changes based on public opinion. Rather, the process of going public is to gain employee buy-in. You’re simply saying, “This is where we are going and you need to be on board.”
4. Hire New Blood
Technology usage is definitely accepted in proportion to people’s age. Having younger people come on board and help with a tech transition is a good thing. Nothing can foil implementation of a new computer system better than a 60-year-old bookkeeper or project manager who’s not motivated to change. Remember, 55-year-old employees will probably not retire until 67 or later. They can’t hold the company hostage for 10 years or they themselves become a dinosaur. Make that clear, be patient, force change. If he or she is a good employee, pride is part of their DNA. Use that pride to move forward.
5. Set the Example
As a leader, make it clear that this is the direction the company’s going. Participate by exhibiting change. You can’t claim to be a leading-edge company with an owner who has a flip phone. Openly and publicly embrace the plan. Leadership is influencing others to accomplish organizational goals. Don’t let key employees who’ve been with you for years become sacred cows. Explain the importance and show compassion while insisting on change. Your role is to set direction and provide guidance.
6. Start Key Employee Succession
It never ceases to amaze me that key employees late in their careers rarely think of the need to pass on knowledge and how to do it successfully. I held a strategic planning and brainstorming session some years ago for a very bright 45-year-old owner’s son who was company president. He was worried about the future leadership of the company. We included a 63-year-old head estimator, a 61-year-old senior project manager, a 64-year-old production manager and a 59-year-old accountant in the meeting. None of them mentioned or felt succession in their position was required. No one was trying to run anyone off, we were simply trying to plan for the future. By acknowledging the issue and planning, key employee development started and became a huge success.
As an owner or upper manager, don’t let the day-to-day grind or your own pride and ego get in the way of your business’s progression. Your business’s future and your employee’s livelihoods depend on you staying a leading-edge company.

Marketing Automation on Social Media
The KEYS to being efficient and consistent on social media
Have you ever thought to yourself?...
“What do I post on social media?”
“How do I manage social media?“
“I can’t manage my business and social media, there’s no way!”
Then, keep reading.
One of the biggest challenges most solo entrepreneurs, those trying to build their personal brands, real estate agents, lenders, and really anyone in general that’s looking to be active on social media is effectively managing their time on the platform and coming up with content to post,
Which, I get.
But, there’s a way. Let’s go through three frequent concerns, with some easy answers:
How do I get content to post on Social Media?
The clear coat answer to this is to BE INTENTIONAL.
Define your brand. Define what your audience would find valuable. And execute.
What could be super helpful if you’re unsure is have a strategy/whiteboard session with yourself, colleague or loved one. Determine what sort of content would need to be captured/conveyed and go from there. I personally use pinterest for a lot of inspiration and create mood board for my clients, so we can visualize the vibe.
Once you have your plan in tact, spend 2-3 hours creating a marketing calendar for yourself. Determine the content you want to get from the marketing calendar and execute in advance.
If this means hiring a photographer once a month or once a quarter to capture your brand, then do it!
If this means spending 2-3 hours a month taking photos, then do it!
It all comes down to being on the offense and being proactive with your content creation.
How do I post on social media without taking up too much of my time?
If you don’t think you have time to post on social media, you’re in luck.
There are dozens of FREE scheduling tools such as hootsuite, later, and more. For my agency, I use Sprout Social, which offers more advanced options for reporting, analytics, and user experience.
Since you took the advice on how to get content, now it’s up to you to distribute it. You can schedule it weekly, monthly, or whatever pace is best for you.
This will essentially streamline your content, so you don’t have to figure out what you should post.
If you don’t want to use these calendars, just take a mental note, or plan the night before. "I’m going to post xyz on social media.” Save it as a draft, add it in your calendar.
What do I post on social media?
Okay, so now you have your content, your marketing calendar, and scheduling in order,
So, what do I post?
Well, there’s a few ways to look at it. My take is if it’s not providing value, entertaining, educating, or impacting, then don’t post it.
Come up with captivating captions that do just this. Accompany the captions with the most contextual image and share!
If you’re on multiple platforms, you’re going to have different audiences. Your LinkedIn connections (more professional platform) are going to be different than your instagram followers (image driven, impactful imagery driven), Your Facebook friends (documentation, style) are going to be different than your twitter followers, etc. Adapt your copy and positioning to the audiences.
If you’re posting on LinkedIn or Facebook - you can also share industry related articles that are interesting to you and your followers. Just remember, adapt your copy to your audience .
In conclusion
It all comes down to planning ahead. Be intentional about creating the content and be intentional about executing the content. Once you have the content, then you have something to post. Right?!
Yes, it’ll be uncomfortable and yes it’ll feel like a “waste of time,” but trust me, it’ll end up saving you mental time while upping your content game in the long run.

Title: She Was Mine Author: Marie Skye
Title: She Was Mine
Author: Marie Skye
Genre: Romance
Nothing ever came easy for us.
Fight hard, Fuck harder.
Now, someone wants to take it all away from me. Someone has a sordid tale to tell, that's a threat to both me, and my family, and it's one I can't defend.
I have to fight back.
Army brat, and now just a brat. She currently resides in Austin, TX where there really is a difference between breakfast burritos, and breakfast tacos, but she really doesn't know what the difference is.
If it's dark, and full of inappropriate material. She's attracted to it. She prefers making her character’s work for their happy ever after, if they get one, and she has no problem making sure they endure every obstacle to try to get there. She's known as not having a filter, and if she's asked for an opinion, be prepared to get a response that's most likely a mixture of sarcasm and bluntness.
Marie is the type of person that can be friends with anyone, but if you have cake, you're pretty much her best friend.

George and Amal Clooney donate $ 100,000 to charities after the Beirut explosion
Many celebrities reacted to the tragedy, publicly expressing condolences to the families and friends of the victims. And 59-year-old George Clooney and his 42-year-old wife Amal decided to donate $ 100,000 to charities in Lebanon that provide assistance to victims of the explosion.
We are both very worried about the people of Beirut and the devastation they have faced over the past few days. Three charities provide significant on-site assistance: the Lebanese Red Cross, Impact Lebanon, and Baytna Baytak. We donate 100 thousand dollars to them and hope that other people will also help in any way possible,
– said in their official statement.
Beirut is the hometown of the wife of a Hollywood actor. She lived in the Lebanese capital for up to two years, and then her family left the country due to the civil war.

BTS’s RM And Megan Thee Stallion Wore The Same Fit But Served Totally Different Vibes
They both slayed!
BTS‘s RM and Megan Thee Stallion surprisingly wore the same fit, but they served totally different vibes!
Megan Thee Stallion
RM and Megan Thee Stallion are both admired rappers.
| GQ
One would think the similarities end there, though.
BTS with Megan Thee Stallion. | BANGTANTV/YouTube
However, the two have collaborated as she featured on a remix of BTS’s hit song “Butter.” They have even performed it live during PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE
Not to mention, RM is likely Megan Thee Stallion’s bias.

Still, their fashion sense couldn’t be more different.
| @theestallion/Instagram
But recently, Megan Thee Stallion performed at 2022 Summer Sonic in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday, August 20.
| @theestallion/Twitter
For the event, she rocked a Sailor Moon-inspired outfit.
This included a blue, red, and white schoolgirl uniform, consisting of a mini skirt and corset.
| @theestallion/Twitter
It clearly references the one worn by Usagi Tsukino in the iconic anime.
Sailor Moon | Toei Animation
Of course, the “Hot Girl Coach” had to give it a sexy twist. So, the back of her skirt was completely open, perfect for her signature twerk!
| @theestallion/Twitter
Megan Thee Stallion is a huge fan of anime.
So, it was no surprise that her Japan festival fit would be inspired by one of the most iconic ones.
| @theestallion/Twitter
Yet, RM himself has actually worn a Sailor Moon outfit too! Or should we say Sailor Namjoon?
In 2013, BTS’s first-ever reality show, Rookie King, aired. This originated some of the most legendary and iconic moments in BTS history, such as the elevator prankSuga‘s “hip-hop is dead,” maid outfit, and, of course, “Sailor Namjoon.”
Unlike Megan Thee Stallion, RM did not pick the outfit by choice. In Episode 7 of Rookie King, he received it as a penalty.
Despite this, RM actually embraced his inner Sailor Scout.
RM’s Sailor Moon outfit is more traditional, like a true cosplay. Megan Thee Stallion had a fun twist on the pigtails hairstyle with her natural hair, but RM had to wear a wig to complete the look. Also, rather than a performance, he looked ready to go to Comic-Con!
But some may not realize that the back was a bit revealing like Megan Thee Stallion. While Megan Thee Stallion intentionally had the back of the skirt off, RM’s top was open in the back due to his size!
While this was a long time ago, it was brought up again just last year.
BTS’s RM Reacts To ARMY Bringing Back His Sailor Moon Cosplay
Believe it or not, Megan Thee Stallion has actually twinned with other BTS members before too. Check it out below.

Islamist attacks and radical muslims- Attention seeking?
Announcements Posted on
• Thread Starter
is all of this simply attention seeking ? The agendas seem to be the same old stuff - ie constantly banging on about palestine, israel, various land grab disputes accross the globe, caliphates,sharia law etc.
Is the constant media coverage of these people, their political agendas, their focus groups, their religious leaders and their press releases - simply fuelling the problem.

Risotto limoncello
Photograph by Felipe Buitrago
It's Risotto With a Peel: Risotto limoncello at Madison and Fifth
Take the Fifth!
Bold and daring, Madison and Fifth is a crossroad of tradition and modern attitude
By Stett Holbrook
MADISON and Fifth describes itself as a New York-style Italian restaurant. On my first visit to the 6-week-old Palo Alto restaurant, I asked my waiter what that meant and he said it's Italian food as it's served in New York. I asked for a less vague definition, but he couldn't get any more specific than that. After three good meals here, I'm calling Madison and Fifth Italian food with attitude. The menu is bold, flashy and a little over-the-top. Maybe that's what my waiter meant by New York-style Italian.
Madison and Fifth is the first West Coast restaurant for a trio of New York-based restaurants. Before it opened in early June, the space housed an antique furniture store and required seven months of remodeling work. The labors have paid off; the restaurant is strikingly handsome. The big, accordionlike wooden doors open up to the sidewalk, blurring the lines between indoors and out. The handful of sidewalk tables offer a prime spot to take in passers-by on warm days and nights, of which there have been plenty of late. The swirly yellow marble floors, high ceilings, long curving granite bar, big colored-glass light fixtures and towering wood-fired oven give the long dining room a lively, confident feel that draws you into the party. Mirrors on the wall hung below New York street-scene murals and rows of wine bottles are tilted at just the right angle to make the dining room feel larger and allow you to discreetly check out fellow diners and what they're eating.
What they're eating is either hearty, rustic food or gilded, generous dishes that teeter on the overwrought. There's not much middle ground. Meals start with what has to be one of the best freebies around: a generous plate of marinated olives, caper berries, orange peel, celery and onions and a few cubes of mortadella on the side. Add some of the good focaccia and you're halfway through your first appetizer. But there's lots to try here so don't fill up on olives and bread. Salads are particularly good, but I'm not talking about the typical plate of vinaigrette-topped greens. Segato di carciofi ($12) combines marinated and thinly sliced artichoke, celery and button mushrooms tossed in a lemony vinaigrette. This refreshing salad is served in a bowl made from the last few leaves of a head of radicchio. The edible container technique is a device that the kitchen employs a lot. Even better was the asparagus salad ($12), a gilded jumble of snappy asparagus spears, buttery fava beans, prosciutto and a heady but restrained truffle vinaigrette topped with papery shavings of Parmesan cheese.
Madison and Fifth also serves a variety of carpaccio plates, thinly sliced beef, fish and fruits. Although it might have worked better as a dessert, I still liked the gratin of pear carpaccio ($11), slices of baked pear sprinkled with salty, nutty Asiago cheese and walnuts and drizzled with a honey-truffle vinaigrette.
The yellow-tomato gazpacho special ($11) is one of the most pimped-out dishes on the menu. The chilled soup arrives in a cocktail glass laden with a spear of celery, red bell pepper, sliced avocado and a radish. A single fat shrimp dangles over the side, as if it's been forced overboard by the melee of vegetables. The golden soup itself was refreshing and quite good. It just takes a little digging to get to it.
I have to give the kitchen credit for placing sautéed chicken liver ($12) on the menu. There is a numbing homogeneity to many Italian restaurant menus, but Madison and Fifth is willing to take a bit of risk with dishes like this. While the metallic, liver flavor was too intense for me, the slow-roasted pearl onions and satiny balsamic vinegar reduction sauce makes this a must-order for liver lovers.
Grilled entrees are quite good. The lamb special ($31) one night included a mint and thyme-encrusted steak, grilled a perfect juicy medium rare and fanned out over the plate atop a crispy layer cake of potato, eggplant and tomato. A scattering of mint leaves and arugula atop the plate finished things off. Check out the roasted duck ($22), too. Succulent leg and breast meat yielded easily to the fork and paired well with the rich vin santo (a kind of dessert wine) sauce. The truffles in the truffled mashed potatoes were hard to detect, though.
My favorite dish of all was the pappardelle ($18) special, wide flat noodles tossed with plump morel mushrooms and shredded chunks of osso buco. Standing tall on the plate was the beef shank bone with a fork for digging out the rich marrow inside.
Those were the rustic and hearty dishes. In the over-the-top category was the shellfish risotto ($25), a special on one my visits. The risotto arrived in a bowl made from grated and fried Parmesan cheese, a novel idea that nevertheless reminded me of those taco salads served in a tortilla shell basket. The green-tinted risotto looked like it was going to be too gummy, but I was surprised by the lightness and delicacy of the rice. The heaping serving was chock-full of Dungeness crab, crayfish and shrimp and tinged with a subtle shellfish flavor.
Desserts are solid, but not as strong as the rest of the menu. Fried ravioli ($8) filled with chocolate hazelnut and banana is one of the restaurant's signature desserts. But instead of pasta, the ravioli is more like pastry, crisp and flaky. It's a little dense but good with the pumpkin ice cream on the side. Chocolate soufflé ($11) is like a cross between a soufflé and a molten chocolate cake; the outside is light and airy but inside is a deep, dark well of molten chocolate. C rème brûlée ($8) is on almost every restaurant's menu. but here the green tea version of the dessert was uncommonly silky and rich with a perfectly constructed burned-sugar mantle that crackled with a rap of my spoon.
Madison and Fifth gets busy shortly after opening, but the affable and knowledgeable waiters keep things moving. They're dressed in dark suits and give the place an uptown vibe. Add up the food, the service and the urbane ambience and I'd come back in a New York minute.

Main Joke Archives
The Naming of Jesus
A group of biblical scholars were involved in a heated discussion about how Jesus of Nazareth
was named. How did he become known as the Messiah, or Christ. One of the scholars argued that
the name was a Greek corruption of Aramaic, and purists and fundamentalists ought to use the
name Joshua. Another argued that Joshua was Hebrew, not Aramaic, to which a third argued that
Hebrew should be used because Jesus was said to be the King of the Jews. The debate went on
and on and became more and more sophisticated and obtuse. Finally, an old man known for his
wisdom intervened. He informed the group that he knew how Jesus was named. When Jesus was born,
a star shown in the sky, and three wise men from the East travelled to Bethlehem. They had
travelled for days, suffered great deprivation, and when they finally got to Bethlehem got
lost trying to find the manger. Finally, after much ado, and in rather foul moods, they
reached the manger and entered the stall. As one of them came through the door, he tripped on
the door sill, and fell into the wall hitting his head. "Jesus Christ!" he screamed, and
that is how the baby was named.

Polymorphic PTLD
Polymorphic PTLD
ICD-O-3 Morphology
Effective 2010 and later
for cases diagnosed 2010 and later
Primary Site(s)
See Module 7
Most common sites of involvement: lymph nodes, GI tract, lung and liver, CNS involvement (rare)

Module Rule
Alternate Names
Polymorphic B-cell PTLD
Polymorphic post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder
Abstractor Notes
(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010, see codes 9970/1 or 9975/1.)
PTLD is a lymphoid proliferation arising in a recipient of a solid organ transplant, allogenic bone marrow transplantation, or an umbilical cord blood transfusion. The patient must have a history of a solid organ transplant or an allogenic bone marrow transplant. The polymorphic PTLD is actually caused by the post-transplant T-cell immunosuppressant drugs. Most cases of polymorphic PTLD occur within a year of transplantation; however, they can occur anytime after the transplant.
There are two types of PTLD:
1. Monomorphic - PTLD with an accompanying B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, or plasmacytoma. When both a PTLD and lymphoma or plasmacytoma occur, the histology is coded to the lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Treatment is given for the lymphoma or plasmacytoma. See Rule M14 and PH1 in the Hematopoietic manual.
2. Polymorphic: PTLD with no accompanying lymphoma or plasmacytoma. In solid organ recipients, the CNS may be the only site of involvement or may be associated with multi-organ involvement.
Treatment for the polymorphic PTLD is the decrease or cessation of immunosuppressant drugs. This commonly leads to a regression or complete absence of the PTLD.

Interview With 9-Year-Old Behind Viral "Caine's Arcade" (VIDEO)
04/12/2012 12:30 pm ET | Updated Jun 12, 2012
Nine-year-old Caine Monroy became an online sensation this week for building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad's used auto parts store. At first, business was slow -- that is, until his first customer, filmmaker Nirvan Mullick, was inspired to organize a flashmob through Facebook and Reddit, sending a slew of worthy gamers upon Caine's Arcade and capturing the magic day in a short film.
Now that the video has gone viral, the Caine's Arcade Facebook page boasts over 45,000 Likes, with fans and supporters having raised over $100,000 for his scholarship fund in just three days.
I decided to head to East L.A. to catch up with the young entrepreneur, his father George, and Producer/Director Nirvan Mullick to get their takes on the whirlwind week and, of course, play in the arcade!
So, how does it work?
You have to buy a fun pass for $2 and you get 500 turns.
When asked about the online frenzy surrounding his video, Nirvan said:
It was as if the entire Internet's heart was warmed collectively by this. It was beyond anything I've ever seen in any kid. When you play his arcade, you just want to throw him a tip. $2 for 500 turns is almost too good of a deal.
What does Caine think of everyone sharing the video right now?
How did his father react?
I cried. It was just feel-good.
Why was it important for Nirvan to use this to raise money as well?
The idea was to see if we could raise Caine $25,000 to help him go to school. But the day we put it on the Internet, it raised $60,000. And it's up to $90,000 now.
What does his dad think is next?
I don't know what he's up to. Every week he has a new project going on, so you can never tell.
What does Caine want to share with the world?
Come to Caine's Arcade!

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder | Overview
What is obsessive-compulsive disorder?
What are obsessions?
Obsessions are ideas, images and impulses that run through the person's mind over and over again. A person with OCD doesn't want to have these thoughts and finds them disturbing, but he or she can't control them. Sometimes these thoughts come just once in a while and are only mildly annoying. Other times, a person who has OCD will have obsessive thoughts all the time.
What are compulsions?
Obsessive thoughts make people who have OCD feel nervous and afraid. They try to get rid of these feelings by performing certain behaviors according to "rules" that they make up for themselves. These behaviors are called compulsions. (Compulsive behaviors are sometimes also called rituals.) For example, a person who has OCD may have obsessive thoughts about germs. Because of these thoughts, the person may wash his or her hands repeatedly. Performing these behaviors usually only makes the nervous feelings go away for a short time. When the fear and nervousness return, the person who has OCD repeats the routine all over again.
How common is OCD?

Hotshoe slave/adaptor for studio photography : LUSENET : Photography Singapore : One Thread
I'm using the Minolta Dynax 404si. I decided to buy a hotshoe adaptor or sometimes what people call the hotshoe slave, where it is fixed on the hotshoe to trigger off studio lights when doing studio photography. I know these lights can be set off using flash, such as the 3600HS flash, which I already own. However, using this flash makes the camera unwieldy and I am sometimes limited to awkward positions cos the walls are reflective.
Do you know what is the model or actual name of this hotshoe slave/adaptor, how much would it cost and where can I find it? Thank you.

Access rights to users
Deepak 11 months ago updated by Mantas Jasiulis 3 months ago 3
Can we set up access rights for each user so they only see certain rooms / devices etc? I was told this is not possible but its on the works. any idea when this might happen?
We have plan about this function, but without ETA.
If there are a lot of votes for this feature, we will increase the priority in the plan.
Probably one of the most requested feature. Please implement this feature, waiting eagerly. I know you won't disappoint.
It's possible to do I think, but it is complicated because much programming is required. For example in app there could be window where you choose user, then you are prompted for a password and let's say if password is correct then some kind of token is set to certain value, from that with a little help of JS you can create conditions, for example if user 1 is logged on (token is set to certain value) then don't show some popups or deny some controls and so on...

Empire Magazine (2008) Greatest Movies List - #78: Rosemary's Baby
Rosemary’s Baby (1968) is that special kind of horror film that can get under your skin while spilling very little blood. It has no masked killer that jumps out of a corner, no monster chasing characters down dark corridors, and no armies of zombies lumbering the streets. Yet it is profoundly unsettling, not only because it deals with a satanic cult, but because the story’s protagonist and her unborn child are unwilling participants in that cult’s scheme.
Watching the film on Halloween two years ago it occurred to me this story is probably twice as scary for women. Having children is already a nerve-wracking prospect, but being tricked into having the devil’s spawn against your will: that is nightmarish on a whole other level. However director Roman Polanski takes his time in revealing the full extent of this nightmare, at times even suggesting all of the protagonist’s fears might just be paranoia. It takes a while for the full extent of the horror to be revealed, but it is worth the wait.
In one of her earliest roles, Mia Farrow plays Rosemary Woodhouse who moves into an old New York City apartment building called the Bramford with her husband Guy (John Cassavetes). The Big Apple has plenty of modern skyscrapers, but there are also many buildings that are hundreds of years old and in some cases the prime locations the shoot a horror movie. In the case of the Bramford, there is apparently a history of cannibalism and murder, but that doesn’t deter the Woodhouses from moving in. Apparently in NYC the prices for real estate are so high that a little murder on your property is not a deal breaker.
The neighbours definitely seem friendly enough. Minnie (Ruth Gordon) and Roman (Sidney Blackmer) Castevet are all smiles and good manners, and even give Rosemary a good luck charm and the occasional special tea. Their first meeting is rather ominous as it happened on the night a young woman committed suicide by jumping out of a window of the Castavets’ seventh floor apartment. This is one of many accumulating incidents that begin to indicate something disturbing is occurring in Rosemary’s life.
Roman, an actor, gets a big role after a fellow performer suddenly becomes blind. Rosemary and Roman decide to conceive, but on the night of the act she has disturbing visions of demons, her husband, and her neighbours. When she wakes her husband tells her he had sex with her when she was unconscious to make sure they wouldn’t miss their window. During her pregnancy, based on the Castevets’ recommendation, Rosemary is treated by Dr. Abraham Sapirstein (Ralph Bellamy) whose unorthodox medicine seems to be having disturbing effects on Rosemary’s complexion. When a family friend grows suspicious, the friend falls into a coma.
One of the scarier aspects about Rosemary’s predicament is that her own suspicions could be easily dismissed. All of these unfortunate events could be just awful coincidences, and if she tells anyone she suspects her neighbours might be part of a satanic coven out to get her baby, she is automatically seen as crazy. What are you supposed to do when everyone around you is plotting against you? Satanic machinations aside, it is rather infuriating to see a group of individuals manipulate a woman’s pregnancy for their own personal gains.
The film’s last iconic scene has Rosemary reluctantly accept her role in her baby’s life despite the fact there is something seriously wrong with his eyes. Yet did it never occur to the members of this coven to ask Rosemary for her permission before messing with her biology? Did she not have the right to know what her own doctor was doing to her? Maybe if Rosemary had been given a good sales pitch she might have even been a willing participant, but nobody gave her a choice, not even her own husband.
There is no such thing as zombies, vampires, and (hopefully) demonic possessions, but unfortunately there is such a thing as groups of people deciding what women can and cannot do with their bodies. An effective horror movie scares you at least a few times. A truly great one, like Rosemary’s Baby, remains socially relevant for decades.

Empire Magazine (2008) Greatest Movies List - #109: Touch of Evil
Some movies start off with a bang but with his 1958 film noir Touch of Evil cinema legend Orson Welles decided to start with three minutes and 20 seconds leading to the bang. During a tracking shot set in a U.S – Mexico border town we follow a car right after an unseen person has installed a crude bomb in the trunk. It’s a lovely evening with people having a good time and border agents diligently doing their jobs as they let the car cross over onto the American side. Then the bomb goes off, two people die violently, and suddenly it’s not such a good evening. That’s one way to hook in your audience.
Some people resolve to eat better, quit smoking or do more exercise for the New Year. As we start off 2019 one of my resolutions is to try to watch more classics films, and even though I got a lot of great films as Christmas gifts I thought I would use my day off to check one classic film I had never seen off my list. Of course I am familiar with Orson Welles, a filmmaker so prolific that in…

Understanding the Boundary Between Education and Literacy
The Title is self-explanatory. Let’s clear our concepts first;
What is Literacy?
Literacy is the ability to read, write and express ourselves. The key to literacy is reading development, a progression of skills that begins with the ability to understand spoken words and decode written words, and culminates in the deep understanding of text.
What is Education?
I define Education as the capability to use the ability to express ourselves. This is one line definition of education. Education is the application of literacy, not just the literacy.
A person can’t say that “I am educated because I know how to read, write and express myself.”
Coming to my point, Are we really getting educated or just literate? People pursuing great degrees are still left unemployed. Students with great minds and talents are unemployed and maximum number of unemployment can be seen in engineering. Why is this? The answer to all these questions is THEY ARE JUST LITERATE, NOT EDUCATED.
They lack skills because they just know to express themselves but they don’t know how to express, why to express and what to express. Education involves whole methodology of applying skills, to foster development and exploring new ideas.
Now, coming to India’s education system, I believe that India is focussing on its academics but not in proper manner. Children here are characterized on the basis of their grades, marks and how much they know, not on their talent, skills and how much they discover the undiscovered. The children who have knowledge are intelligent but the children who discover and explore knowledge are called to be wise and genius.
Taking an example, Albert Einstein found no profit and interest in knowing history and learning those dates, left one of the best schools by giving fake medical certificate of nervous breakdown and started discovering the undiscovered, exploring the unexplored and fostering the science and technology not for anyone else but for himself, for getting inner satisfaction and peace. He is one of the best scientists who brought a new look to the era of science.
The people in India who are extremely talented and skillful, leave the country for getting better jobs and opportunities in foreign cities. Why this happens? What is the reason? What makes people and talents of India to leave such a wonderful country? Is this because of outer fantasies, glories or fame? No, the answer is, India lacks in its education system which makes Indian talents to settle outside.
India is a democratic developing country. India is developing constantly in its academics but in wrong way. We are just getting LITERATE, not EDUCATED.
Leaving a question for you;
Are you just literate or educated?
Porter’s Five Forces Model And Internet Competition
According to Porter’s Five Forces Model, in my opinion, competition has increased overall as a result of the internet and e-Commerce. The internet and IT has made it possible to both focus on the top and bottom lines and market share is expanded and costs are cut. Many products and services exist just online, major companies have gone online to successfully augment the brick and mortar corporations, and the playing field is all the way to edges of cyberspace, wherever that is. We will further evaluate this stepping through all five forces.
Buyer power is higher when buyers have more choices. Businesses are forced to add value to their products and services to get loyalty. Many loyalty programs include excellent services that customers demand on-line. Customers want to solve their problems and many times they are more successful on-line than on-phone. Also, we see internet savvy businesses springing up offering more valuable goods and services at lower costs. Now with the advent of eBay, many people are assuming roles as drop shippers. Individuals can have a thriving business selling goods of larger companies without having to carry inventory.
Supplier power is higher when buyers have fewer choices from whom to buy. As mentioned earlier, drop shipping has increased the amount of suppliers available. All an individual has to do is form and agreement to sell products for the company. The company takes care of all the logistics. The same is true of associates programs that Amazon.com and Google.com offer. Associates allow a webmaster to earn money by recommending products from others. This increases supplier offerings.
Threat of substitute products or services is high when there are many product alternatives. This is different than having many suppliers. Examples of alternatives are exchanging brand names, substituting credit card capabilities, and looking at better values from cheaper sources. The internet allows this with the “global economy”. I can substitute my product by purchasing from companies overseas where labor, services and products are cheaper, but of comparable quality.
Threat of new entrants is high when it is easy for new competition to enter the market. Well, what have we been talking about? Now, small operations can open shop with less than $10.00 per month and make a lot of money. As inventive as people are, there are always opportunities to do improve a product or service or just create and sell something new. Recently, many new entrants have made even more money authoring Ebooks that tell others how to do what they did. Rivalry among competitors is high when competition is more intense within industries.
On-line book stores and catalog companies are an excellent example. Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com are very competitive. However, there are many also smaller niche affiliate bookstores that when combined take a great deal of market share. They offer even more competition. However, both major bookstores have used IT to create value for their customers. These values include associates programs, ease of payment and shipping and many, many others.
The internet offers avenues of competition to existing companies and opportunities for start ups. Now businesses can enter the market on-line with few barriers to entry. Porter’s Five Forces Model can help demonstrate the attractiveness of starting your on-line business. A business person should use the model to identify competition, make a plan, and implement the process.
Why Do People Travel?
Can you imagine what is life without traveling? Is it possible? Whatever your reason is, traveling is a part of people’s life. We all travel. The reason behind that is up to you.
There are different reasons why people travels:.
1.) Most People Travel because they want to see their families and friends who live far away. Invitations from families and friends are seldom so you will decide to travel just to see them.
2.) People Travel because they want to see their soul mates. Some people believe that there is only one person for them and if they haven’t had much luck searching in their area, they figured it out that even though there are millions of people around the world, they can still find it in other place.
3.) People travel to seek for work because they want to experience how to work from another place. We must admit that earning money is hard and some people decide to work abroad because they are looking for greener pasture. Other place pays bigger rates than their own place. We may also say that their expertise is not favorable in their own place. Unfortunately, they have to leave their families for awhile for a job opportunities abroad.
4.) People travel because they want to learn others cultures. They want to see the difference between their culture and other cultures. They want to learn others culture because for them traveling is fun while learning. One particular thing about the culture is the food. They want to know how food is prepared and how it is done. Obviously, we all love to eat.
5.) People travel because they are writers. They want to give the readers relevant article to their readers especially when they are making story in that particular place.
6.) People travel because they want to see all beautiful scenery of different countries. Others would want to take pictures because it serves as souvenirs.
7.) When opportunity arise, it is hard to decide whether to leave your family and open a business far away your place. Some businessmen would rather put up business in other place because they want gain and it is more profitable than staying in their place. Business is nothing without profit.
Traveling is not only for rich people. Whether you are poor or in the middle class, you can travel as long as it fits your budget. Some travel for their goals, some travel for fun and relaxation and some travel for experience.
Using Digital Printing to Promote Your Business
Promoting your business may not be as hard as you first think. If well thought out, the daily running of your business can have a major impact on your marketing. Business people travel around on a day to day basis doing business. Customers also travel around and will take note of a well positioned advert, maybe on your building, on an employee, on a vehicle or by a local attraction.
There is a recession going on. Businesses can not afford to stop promoting themselves. Astute businesses will be looking for ways to market themselves at lower cost. One very effective technique is to create an offer, discount or enhanced service to promote your business to new customers and promote this using mobile advertising. Clever advertising has a call to action, for example a website or telephone number.
Digital printing is a very broad term, which covers a variety of products. The main point for business owners to bear in mind is that digital printing generally means that marketing activities can be undertaken in much smaller campaigns and at lower cost than at any other time in the past.
Magnetic Signs
Magnetic signs come in all shapes and sizes. Magnetic signs are very versatile; You can have several graphics and messages to enable you to choose different messages for different jobs.
Foamex Printing
A foamex display is like mobile exhibition stand that can be put up at any opportunity to promote your business in a useful context. This need not be restricted to work related opportunities, why not have a really eye catching board made up for your car window so that your car can promote your business while you are doing your shopping? This will not appeal to everyone but there are certain products and services for which it may be an excellent strategy.
Window Manifestation
Having an eye catching window graphic is a technique often overlooked by business owners. This is particularly the case if your business is positioned in a busy thoroughfare or junction. Window displays work in the same way that television adverts do and people who regularly pass will start to register the message given by your window manifestation in a subliminal way. This is very powerful.
The initial outlay to have a window professionally covered is not as expensive as you may think and considered over the many years that it will serve your business it can only be a great investment.
Exhibition Graphics
You may be surprised to see exhibition graphics included in a list of low cost ways to promote your business. Large exhibitions may well be an excellent forum for promoting a business but we all know that they are not a small financial commitment.
A business can create a small portable exhibition stand which can be taken to locations such as leisure centers, hotel receptions and golf clubs to create a smaller exhibition scenario at a fraction of the cost.
Everyday will give the determined business owner an opportunity to promote his business at relatively low cost utilizing fundamental day to day things that would need to be paid for anyway. Maximize your impact, utilize your assets, let your business do some marketing for you.

Discovering Snowpack
Original article:
In today’s article, we’ll do some exploring to see what Snowpack is and what are its advantages.
In the last few months, I’ve heard a lot of talk about Snowpack and I hadn’t given it a chance. The time has come.
Working with ESM
To understand what Snowpack does, let’s see first how to work with ESM directly, without any tools.
Currently, if we want for example to setup a Preact app without any tooling, we can do something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Example app</title>
<body id="app" />
Adding the type="module" to the script tag is enough to tell the browser that we are using ESM.
Then, the index.js will be the entrypoint of our Preact app, the top of the Component tree.
import { html, render } from ''
import { Example } from './example.js'
function App() {
return html`
<h1>Some example</h1>
<${Example} />
render(html`<${App} />`, document.getElementById('app'))
This works well. However, it has certain drawbacks that current tools such as Webpack or Parcel already solved. Among the most important:
• Hot reloading in development
• Importing other files as .json, .css...
• Tooling as Typescript, JSX, PostCSS, Sass, Babel…
• Compatibility with legacy browsers
• Managment of thirty party libraries
So… Why not use Webpack or Parcel to cover this? It may still make sense to use bundlers such as Webpack or Parcel.
Let’s keep asking… What does a bundler do? Why do we really need a bundler?
Module bundlers
In 2012 there were no ESM and with the arrival of Webpack the use of bunlders began to be relevant. Thanks to them it’s possible to use .js files as if they were modules, being able to use import and export everywhere.
Bundlers still make a lot of sense today, since many browsers do not yet support ESM. We can use the same process to minimize and optimize our production code.
The main question here should be “Does it make sense to keep using a bundler in development?” Running your entire application through a bundler introduces additional work and complexity to your dev workflow that is unnecessary now that ESM is widely supported.
Unbundled Development
Snowpack was intended to use an unbundled development, using directly ESM. Among other advantages:
• Much faster (no-wait build time, reflecting changes immediately)
• Easier to debug
• Project size doesn’t affect dev speed
• Simpler tooling
• Minimal configuration
It also provides a solution to the ESM problems we have mentioned. Although you can do the production build directly with Snowpack, it gives you the flexibility to still optimizing your production builds with Webpack or Parcel.
Preact with Snowpack
Let’s create a Preact project with create-snowpack-app CLI:
npx create-snowpack-app preact-snowpack-example --template @snowpack/app-template-preact --use-yarn
cd preact-snowpack-example
yarn start
After yarn start, in ~50ms we have our Preact dev environment up under http://localhost:8080, with Babel, JSX and familiar Webpack things.
You can test it to see how fast and easy it is.
If you inspect the source code you’ll see that ESM is used behind the scenes, with some differences:
import { h, render } from '/web_modules/preact.js' // Uses /web_modules/* for dependencies
import '/web_modules/preact/devtools.js'
import App from './App.js'
import './index.css.proxy.js' // Uses .js files for css imports
We have seen a bit of Snowpack’s surface, enough to start understanding how it fits into the JavaScript ecosystem.
I hope this article will make you curious and eager to try Snowpack. It’s not a guide, to know more details about Snowpack and ESM I recommend to visit the reference links.

What's the word: Sheik vs Marth by funkbf in smashbros
[–]funkbf[S] 3 points4 points (0 children)
I'm probably pretty biased (sheik main), and not all that good, but I play the matchup quite a bit, and some things I struggle with as sheik:
1) edgeguarding is way harder. 'wall of bairs' is not all that reliable as it is.
2) approaching
3) getting back down to stage after getting hit up by marth.
4) spacing
It seems like both characters punish hard once they get the other in the air, with marth punishing harder. as sheik, you have to play pretty campy (needles), and ground mobility is nothing compared to marth's. I see what marth has trouble with too, just expressing the opposite side to what you brought up. I think the matchup is even, even at low level.

here's a more specific idea of my project:
i am building an optical assembly that requires illuminating a surface at a specific angle, then capturing an image of the surface at that specific angle. at this specific angle, power measured by the camera is at a maximum, so i want the arduino to do the 'angle calibration'. once the picture is taken, i want to process it on the computer with an algorithm that I'll write (not very complicated algorithm, can be any language).
so, to answer your questions, it cannot be a webcam image. moreover, to answer your first question, i don't know! i haven't conceived of a 'big picture' system design yet of what's happening when, and how commands/information is getting sent. that's what i was asking for help with! thanks for responding!

“He hasn’t proved anything yet” – William Gallas terms Arsenal signing as “difficult to understand”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta lured Ben White to the Emirates this summer
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta lured Ben White to the Emirates this summer
Jidonu Mauyon
Arsenal completed the signing of Ben White from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth £50 million during the summer transfer window.
Former Gunners defender William Gallas believes it wasn't a wise decision to spend such a figure on a player who hasn't proven himself.
He explained:
"It's difficult for me to understand why Arsenal spent £50million on a player who is yet to prove himself at the top level and at the same time Manchester United can spend around £40million on Varane."
William Gallas explains why Man United's Raphael Varane is in 'a different class' to Ben White #MUFC…
"You have to explain to me how it's possible. Perhaps it's partly because Ben White is English. Varane is a different class player compared to Ben White. Ben White is still young. As I said, he hasn't proved anything yet. How can you put a £50million price on him, you know?"
"I respect him. I don't know him. I respect him and I hope he will be a great player, but he hasn't proved anything yet. You can't compare Ben White and Varane. I'm sorry, It's not possible."
Gallas added:
"It's not because he's a fellow Frenchman that I'm talking like this. He comes from Real Madrid. He didn't come from Brighton, with all respect to them."
📊 Ben White makes his Arsenal debut - here’s how his PL stats for Brighton last season compared with the central defenders for his new club 🔽
Arsenal lured Ben White from Brighton this summer as Mikel Arteta looked to tighten things up at the back. The Englishman signed a five-year contract with the club and is expected to remain at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2026.
So far, Ben White has made three appearances for the Gunners, with all of them coming in the Premier League. It remains to be seen if he will justify his £50 million transfer fee as the season progresses.

Arsenal on an impressive winning run
Following their shaky start to the season that saw them lose their first three Premier League games, Arsenal finally look like they're getting back on track. The Gunners have claimed consecutive victories in their last three matches across all competitions.
They defeated both Norwich City and Burnley by a 1-0 scoreline before beating Wycome 3-0 in the EFL Cup this week. Up next, Mikel Arteta's men will take on Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League game on Sunday.

Network Marketing Tips Online
Network Marketing is an industry full of hype and success stories when you never really know the truth. The truth is that the Network Marketing industry can be extremely profitable, but only when you make the right decisions.
There are various tips around on the Internet regarding Network Marketing, training, tips and strategies. Finding the right training and tips is a hard thing to do. What you really need to do is to spend some money each week ion different courses learning all sorts of stuff from a variety of people.
One huge Network Marketing tips I am going to share in this article is called don’t sell your company! What I mean is, don’t promote your company on the front end. Do not promote your company to brand new visitors or subscribers.
Have you ever seen any of the top earners promote their Network Marketing opportunities on their blogs or capture pages? No, and they do it for a good reason. People hat to be sold to and there is a way of sponsoring without having to sell.
Its called marketing information instead of your company. When you do this you brand yourself as a leader in your field and people will be automatically attracted to you and want to join your company. People like to be told what to do and they like leaders. You may not be a leader just yet but you can follow the same things they do.
They all market inexpensive info products that teach their website visitors and list subscribers how to be more successful in what they do. When your promoting a solution. For one you will have more people follow you, visit your websites, join your email list and also you will be branding yourself as a leader.
Another thing top earners do is hold free generic training webinars. They teach a group of people how to do something for free. Again, this brands them as a leader in their field and automatically draws people towards them so they join their business. So, if you want to have more success, follow the tips outlined in your article and take daily action. You should see a dramatic change in your business within 100 days.

Roaming Madness (Problem ID: 6138068)
Living in Basel, Switzerland, attached to France and Germany, I can pick up many GSM networks. In my living room I picked up 9 signals. I'm sure from the roof I can pick up all of them.
I repeated the exercise what drove me mad during my vacation. Here's how I killed my iPhone's signal completely (until reboot).
1. I go into carrier preferences and selected manually E-Plus as carrier. Swisscom has roaming with them so it should work just fine.
2. After a while, I got no change into the carrier at the top left. So I go into carrier preferences again. Now I get welcomed with a popup saying "Network connection lost". Well not surprising, the signal might not be strong enough. As I'm already in the preferences I go back out and back in. Now it says it can not load my network list. This is like that until I reboot.
3. Exercise #2. I select "sunrise 3G" as a carrier. Well the iPhone lets me do that. I am 100% sure, Sunrise does NOT have roaming with Swisscom. But the iPhone lets me select it ? Yes. I got the checkmark next to it. So I went back out and everything looked fine. It still showed swisscom and some bars at the top left. Suspicious as I am
I wanted to see if it auto reselected my home carrier. So I went into carrier preferences again and voila. it switches to "No service". So far so good but now it says "Searching...." and no list appears. Never. You can wait for hours it will stay empty. The only way to get your phone back is to reboot it.
It seems to be that Apple has not well tested roaming. In USA it only works on AT&T. You can drive 5'000 miles and you will still have AT&T coverage or no coverage anyway. So why care about roaming?
In Europe we use roaming (and we get ripped of by the carriers for it). And due to SIM lock, Apple doesn't help the budget neither. In my case I can walk 10 minutes and I'm in another country (France). I can walk another 10 minutes and I'm again another country (Germany) again. At my home I can pick up signals of 8 carriers from 3 countries on which I can roam on all of them except the other carriers of Switzerland.
Coming back to my vacation spot.
There I had 4 carriers I could select from:
TDC had a strong signal. Telia a "ok" signal and Sonofon I have not seen at my vacation house and 3DK only very weak on the balcony. So I called swisscom support line asking which carrier would be best for my Laptop's 3G card (Novatel XU870). The answer was I should choose TDC as they have 3G roaming with them whereas they don't have 3G roaming with Telia despite Telia having 3G. The result was that I got GPRS speed. It was not good enough to use it for browsing or reading email even. While trying to do a wiretransfer on e-banking, I timed out on the login screen as the security key changes every minute or so and it took longer to transmit it so it was always expired. Telia supported EDGE in that region. However, my 3G card from Novatel had switched me back to TDC all the time. And there is no option to change the carrier. Apple has simply not thought of anyone wanting to do that. On the iPhone where I could at least read my mail, I had similar problems due to the experiences of switching carriers as explained above. Driving to the next village, dropped the signal for a minute or so and the guesswork started again. After a week, I fixed the problem for the laptop by manually changing the connection scripts to force a selection of carriers (using AT+COPS=...).
Its a shame a world wide company like Apple has never thought through what roaming means to non americans. I guess they have a learning curve on the mobile side.
But lets not give up hope yet and give them a chance to fix it. They fixed another problem I reported (one I'm not allowed to tell you due to NDA madness) even though they didn't told me its fixed in that new release. Could have saved me some hours of work. But what the heck.

(Review originally written at 6 October 2007)
It's not a movie with many spoken lines in it. After all the two main characters hardly speak the same language. The movie allows its images to mostly tell the entire story. I sort of always like this, since after all that's also how movies were intended to be in the first place. The great camera-work and compositions of course help with this. It also makes the movie a slow going one but this works beautiful and effective for the movie its story and storytelling. Still, because the movie is rather short, it tends to rush things a little, especially toward the end. It's also the reason why the movie ends sort of on a false note.
This movie is a real character movie. Almost the entire movie focuses purely on just the two main characters. The characters don't explain anything to each other about how and what. They just accept things as they are and don't look back, even though the both of them, as implied, had issues in the past. They are definitely not at love at first but they also most certainly don't hate each other. They slowly and steadily grow- and open up toward each other and also learn from each other, in many different ways. It doesn't make this movie 'just' another unusual love-story but something that goes deeper and therefor also gets more effectively shown on the screen.
The movie gives a good portrayal of the farm life and the empty flat real peaceful nature. I think it's a real missed opportunity from Dutch film-makers to not shoot more movies there. It's cheap to make, also since you don't have to close down any roads or shops or stuff like that and it's of course beautiful looking, which really gives the movie a lot of atmosphere without having to manipulate or set up anything. And abroad, people always seem to like these type of movies and these movies, with this kind of atmosphere, have a fair chance at the international market and festivals. After all, this movie even received a Golden Globe nomination for best foreign film.
I never thought I would hear an Ede Staal song in a Dutch, or just any movie. Ede Staal and his music are unmistakably connected to the entire province of Groningen. His songs are often about the province and they perfectly capture the life, feeling and atmosphere of the province. So, one of his most famous songs 't Hogelaand' totally fits within the movie, captures its atmosphere and what it tries to tell.
Jaap Spijkers is a good actor, although I admit that he is a better actor now then he used to be 10 years ago, at the time of this movie. Or perhaps it's just that he isn't really the sort of actor for the leading type of roles. Same goes for Monic Hendrickx by the way, who at the time still was a rookie in the movie business. He did a fairly good job with his accent, although people who are actually not from Groningen but play a Groninger character always tend to make the accent sound way too thick.
The movie is about some relevant issues, such as Polish woman being forced to work in the prostitution in Western countries, the hard financial situation and time for Dutch farmers and the slinking population, amount farms and shops in the rural areas.
The movie is currently getting an Australian treatment as well, named "Unfinished Sky", again with Monic Hendrickx in the same role. The story will probably work the same but will the atmosphere as well? Doubtful, which is a negative thing, since it mostly was the atmosphere that carried the movie and almost entirely told the movie its story and emotions.
A really great and also certainly unique and a one of a kind movie. The Australian version won't change that.

How Much Does It Cost To Be You?
buget, how much does it cost to be you, New Latina
Have you ever stopped to think how much it costs you to be you for a month? I mean “YOU” just don’t happen…there’s a lot of work that goes into maintaining you. Your budget is pretty much a summary of what it costs you to live your life. As a savvy budget-ista, getting a handle on your monthly bottom line is the best tool you have to making the most of your money and positioning yourself to increase your wealth.
Prepare Yourself To Scrub Your Monthly Expenses
Before you start scrubbing your monthly expenses, make sure you know exactly how much money you have to work with each month. Read How Much Money Do You Really Make to help you get a handle on you monthly income.
Grab three consecutive months of banking and credit card statements, a highlighter, a pencil, a calculator, and a notepad. Oh, y paciencia y café. Take your notepad and write the name of one month at the top of each page. You’ll also need to group your expenses by category. You can use the categories included in our fabuloso budget worksheet you can download or print to make this exercise even easier!
As you work though your expenses, resist the temptation to fudge your numbers. Don’t start trimming numbers now! You need to see them as they are…you need to see the truth behind your spending. You’ll have plenty of time to reflect on how to cut back later.
Let’s get started!
4 Steps To Determine Your Monthly Expenses
1. Identify Your Monthly Fixed Expenses
Fixed Expenses stay the same every month. Examples: Rent/Mortgage, cell phone and cable bills, insurance premium payments, tithing/charity, child care expenses, gym/club memberships…
Take your highlighter and your banking/credit card statements, and start highlighting fixed expenses for each month’s statement.
Write down the total for each month in your notepad on the corresponding month’s page. Make sure you identify the expense and it’s total amount.
If you find that expenses you believed to be fixed are actually fluctuating from month to month, oh like your cell phone bill, I strongly encourage you to figure out what’s causing what ought to be a predictable bill to change from month to month. Pull your statements and pour over them. If necessary, pick up the phone and call your service provider to find out more information.
2. Identify Your Monthly Flexible Expenses
Flexible expenses vary month to month. Examples: Gas, groceries, clothing, electricity, assistance to family
Go month by month and identify expenses associated with each expense category, one at a time.
For example, if you’re starting with your Grocery/Food category, go month by month and highlight every expense tied to your grocery/food category to include la compra, meals out, snacks out, coffee shop stops, school lunches for los ninos, et cetera.
Then, log those expenses in your notebook, total up all the expenses for that category, and write it down.
Do the same thing with each category for each month.
3. Identify Periodic Expenses
Periodic expenses, for some reason, catch many of us off guard. These are the expense we ought to save for through the year, but not enough of us actually do it because we haven’t bothered figuring out how much we’d need to save each month to make it happen. Periodic expenses are things like holiday expenses, tires for the car, and vacations.
If you absorbed periodic expenses during the three months of statements you’re currently using to put together your budget snapshot, take a fourth page in your notebook and jot them there. You don’t have to include them in your monthly expense averages.
The best way to plan for periodic expenses is to figure out how much ALL of your periodic expenses are for the year, divide by 12, and set aside that amount into a savings account to ensure that you have CASH on hand to cover these expenses whenever they occur.
4. Calculate Your Average Monthly Expenses
For each category, add the total amounts for month 1, month 2, and month 3 and divide by three to determine your three-month average. And then, enter the average amount into your budget worksheet (download or print) for each category.
What To Do With Expenses You Can’t Identify
It’s inevitable. You’re going to find some expenses that you just can’t identify. Or you’re going to find, what I like to call a black hole. A couple of years back, we had a black hole in our budget that seemed to point towards a store that sells groceries, home goods, and electronics, and clothing. I just couldn’t figure out how we spent nearly $500 one month there.
That’s a bold face lie.
I know exactly how we spent that money. We used that store as our personal park. We’d go “walking” there, or I’d send my hubby there to pick up milk and he’d mysteriously show up with a couple of DVDs, a box of cereal, and a can of tennis balls, too.
For now, if you come across expenses you can’t identify, just mark them as unknown and throw them into your budget under “Unknown.” If it’s cash you pulled out from the ATM, put that down as “cash.” Your goal is to put an end to unplanned and untrackable spending. Unplanned and unconscious spending is what gets you into debt and keeps you from saving.
What are your budget’s black holes? Does your income cover your monthly expenses? Share it below!

IRCCS Caâ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico of Milan
In 1456, the Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza founded the Magna Domus Hospitalis (Ca Granda), a hospital dedicated to Annunciata (a municipality of the province of Brescia, Northern Italy). He did this primarily to gain the affection of its people who were followers of the Visconti family of Milan, even though the Duke was married to Bianca Maria Visconti at the time. The Duke, entering Milan victorious on 25 March 1450 (the day of Annunciation), decided to dedicate a charitable institution to Annunciata. It was then that the new foundation became the Spedale della Nunciata. Designed by the renowned architect Filarete and built by the engineer Guiniforte Solari (responsible for the courtyard of the Certosa di Pavia, a monastery complex in Lombardy, Northern Italy), the hospital formed part of the completion of the reform of hospitals started by the Archbishop Rampini, in the years of the Golden Ambrosian Republic. The completion of the cloisters and their ornamentation was carried out by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, the Solari’s son-in-law and pupil. Although the hospital was founded for the poor, it was, from the beginning, a hospital where people with some hope of recovery were treated. Chronic diseases were treated in hospitals outside of the city. For this reason, the Ospedale Maggiore has always been the centre of health information in the city. At the start of the 20th century, it was decided that the hospital would be moved to a location beyond the canal (where work had already been started on its expansion). This move coincided with the founding of the state University which took possession of the old buildings of the Ca Granda, where it remains today. The Ospedale Maggiore moved to a vast area between the streets of Francesco Sforza (the site of the canal), Porta Romana, Lamarmora and Commenda. The obstetrics and gynaecology department was the first to be inaugurated, by Luigi Mangiagalli (the first Chancellor of the University) and still today, the department bears his name. At the time of the hospital’s move, it had been decided that a general hospital would be created in the area of Niguarda (a neighbouring municipality which had become part of Milan in 1923). This hospital was designed by Giò Ponti and inaugurated in 1932. It kept the name Ca Granda, while the new general hospital took the name Ospedale Maggiore. Further additions to the hospital institution included the San Carlo Borromeo di Milano (also designed by Giò Ponti) and the Sesto San Giovanni hospitals. The institution was later divided up, giving autonomy to the different institutes, while others were founded independently and included later. In 1909, the Adelina brothers and Marco De Marchi founded the Asilo per le madri povere legittime "Regina Elena" (Regina Elena Refuge for Poor Mothers), which remained an independent service until 1990. In 1957, it was converted into a specialist hospital and became the Regina Elena Institute of Obstetrics-Gynaecology and Paediatrics in 1968. From 1998 to 2004 the clinical Institutes of Faithful Improvement, Mangiagalli and Regina Elena were placed under the same authority. In 2010 the name of the hospital was changed, reverting to its former name of Ca Granda.
The following is the list of scholars from IRCCS Caâ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico of Milan who contributed and/or serves as editors for one or more OMICS International journals and conferences

Mad scientist kiddie flick Despicable Me has a new trailer that showcases Steve Carell's vocal talents as baddie Gru - and orphans. Why? Perhaps because orphans can do the one thing non-Pixar animation can't, like elicit emotion?
Critics are already writing this movie off simply because it's not a Pixar film, and they may have a point. The idea of giving an evil genius a sack of orphans to "humanize" him is incredibly cliched. Still, the kitty finger puppet storytelling moment in the new trailer is genius. So I could go either way on this one.
Here's the official synopsis:
In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon.
Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.
The world's (second) greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

The Unswung Bat

Prior thoughts revisited upon me unexpectedly
It is really unfair how I seize on the small recognizable things. I do it with you, all, I know no other way to know a person than to catch them with one of their own. And I work as hard to do it as to not realize that as soon as they don't show me their own, I won't know what's with no-one.
So this is an education?
This poem was in my head (no man is an island entire...bell tolls)
This poem was in my head (and light and labor past)
This poem was in my head (your cloud words...amoeba, sigh, divide, begin; So sorry I can barely say to be full of invisible words).
A great deal was up around me. I have been digging a while—depth equating with extent of knowledge, familiarity, commitment even, in a football-teamspeak. Being that it is impossible to dig across the entire surface of ground (without blasting the excavated earth into space), depth means high walls. Tempting to say I've dug an island, in light of the first poem, but an analogy is an analogy is an analogy and like us they only go so far before they give out.
I've not dug a moat around a little patch of ground. There, only, was air filling the cleared space between matters I have not disturbed. Is a hole the air or the walls, is a house the inside or the structure, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Yeah. What is the sound of one dumb question? Dumb meaning mute, is it the same as one dumb answer? If these walls could'a talked...
But a great deal has come down, and the thing to do isn't to frame statements, which will only come out asinine no matter how they sound on the inside; the thing is only to pick through the new-broken chunks and pockets and inspect, decide what what is, and where I want to put all this dirt.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Extended coverage
In what may be the least ignoble of his public deeds, prez. Bush set an example about getting screened for colorectal cancer. Not that he set out to publicize it, but there was obviously going to be no hushing it up since it involved making Cheney acting president for a few hours (they state that he spent the morning reading, not that you'd ever know...). ABC News paired the political note with a detailed overview of the surgical process: "Well, the preparation the night before is the difficult part, euphemistically we call it 'cleaning out the bowels.'"
May it be his epitaph.

Well that was frightening
I don't know how to feel about not being able to confidently say that that was the scariest few minutes of my life. The steam main explosion happened right outside the building I'm working in. What we saw out the window was a huge shower of rubble and dust, while the floors shook and the roar just got louder. Yeah, what do you think was the first possiblity we thought of? You think you are going to be skeptical when an explosion is underway in your very immediate vicinty, possibily in your building? No. The in-charge part of your brain astutely notes that it's so unlikely for you to be on the seventh storey of an office building, which is shaking, as a solid wall of debris pelts all the windows and something near and BIG roars, that—hey—who knows? All bets are off, and speculation that the deafening sound could come from a falling building, or an exploded plane, ain't so much of a stretch as to not be worth taking into account.
And not only am I proud to say that despite starting from the seventh floor far from the stairwell, I was the fourth person out. Nothing you can say can change that. I would'a lived. And I wasn't pushing or cattle-driving—in fact, it was impressive to see that even people on the edge of hysteria were being decent. Not helping each other really, everyone was more or less panicked, but not hindering or anything.
I, and the editor-in-chief, and two other people with their heads screwed on, however, were far too busy getting the living hell out of there. Let me be clear: when our canoe got caught in a deadly storm, six miles from the middle of nowhere, with Andra in front and me steering, I was rowing for her at least as much as for me. That was sketchy, and awful, and I never want to be in a prolonged life-or-death situation like that again. Or even a short one. The point is, this time, I was alone and running for me. I don't know how or whether that's better or worse, and like I said, I'm good not knowing.
This was not a life or death situation, as became clear once outside. The street was ripped open and out of the three-lane-wide gash was blasting what in the fraction of a second I saw it looked like an avalanche in rewind. What from my vantage looked like the entire guts of Manhattan were erupting through the street. The steam pipe rupture happened at the crossroads of 41st Street and Lexington Ave, which is to say, at the northeast corner of my building, half a block from where I was standing at the fire exit. That initial geyser, I'm now told, was taller than the Chrysler building (easy to judge, since they were almost side-by-side). I saw a wall of rubble coming out of the ground and thought, as I turned to run in the correct direction (I still didn't have my bearings but that one point of reference was all anyone needed) "up from the ground is good." And it is: Whatever's blasting out must be getting forced, which limits it and makes it controllable. It's localized, the mere fact that I've seen it is reassuring even if at that instant I've no idea what could cause it, and, more to the point, monstrous plumes of rubble shooting out of the ground just doesn't scream "terrorist").
Of course, I didn't stop to look back till I was two blocks away, and then only for a moment, and by that point I was already running upwind, knowing full well that demolition debris can have a ton of bad pollutants that are nothing to be cavalier about. One thing I can say of every Bovee and Begun I've met is that we are not damned fools. Someone was very kind to lend me her phone so I could call my uncle, who works in the building next door, and my aunt at home, and from there it was just a long walk to the next train station, after I picked up a 72 cent notebook at the first drugstore I decided was far enough away. Different people have different ways of dealing with shit. It was not, as it turns out, a disaster. It was maybe a travesty, but only if they should've done something about the known risk. Which in my opinion they damn well should have. Certainly it was more than a SNAFU.
But for about a minute, it was really bad: everything was shaking, everyone was thinking, and not without reason, that the floors might come down—imagine, a combined earthquake and rockslide hitting out of nowhere when you're in a high building, and try to think a comforting thing. We didn't even know if the exit was safe. It didn't "feel hot," but so what? Just before we opened the door someone shouted "Nonononono NO!" It's a bad feeling to think you're (maybe) trapped in a building in mid-disaster(?!). Buildings, being generally designed as static, should not be mid-anything, ever. Midwestern, maybe. Maybe.
In case you're inquisitive and don't already know, I've assembled a few lessons in convenient sentence form, that they may be taken into your heads for consideration through reading, rather than direct experience, or that they may be taken out of my head and massaged around into something I like better:
The silence of concentration is common and seldom noticed; that of disbelief, unsettlingly different. José Saramago said silence has nothing to do with noise, silence is when birds turn and fly away.
Panic starts with the sound of silent disbelief and someone saying "um."
In a situation so very bad-seeming that you want to wake up, a big chaw of your brain fixates on the elephant (or explosion) in the middle of the room. Possibly it's yelling "NO!", that one syllable stretched from one end to the other of everything you know, possibly that's just the light tubes humming, who has time to wonder?
Meanwhile, the talented tenth of your brain, the clever strip stapled but not talking to the bulky panicky muppet brain, is a master of ignorance and displacement, seeing not the elephant but the directest course of action leading away from it. Meanwhile it very wisely chooses not to notice how fucking frightened you are.
Five minutes later, everything is okay. Five minutes after that, everything really is okay. Standards change over time. Then suddenly ten minutes later you realize you're having trouble tying your shoes.
I need to learn the email addresses of the rest of my family.
Katee Sackhoff is gay? Dammit!
Nope, she's not. We win again!

A cry in the dark,
That was the name of the "dingo ate your baby" movie. You in my class in grade 5, or maybe 6 remember. That sentence is short a comma, I'm sure of it. Two clauses that shouldn't be open to each other are fused in mutual juices like Siamese twins, not because of malice but redundancy, that is, absent absence or the lack of a nothing skin that confirms you are not me. Does not confirm you are me. Everything reduces in language, but I am a seeing a dark garden scintillating with fireflies that puncture the dull gray air with their tiny spikes of light that show the existence or needlessness of God, one of those, and I have no words for that. And anyway the sentence is better itself like that; is correctly deformed.
The Mexican wolfboys who became trampoline artists did so, they say, because they were tired of being a side show attraction, wanted people to come to see them for a skill rather than a condition. Though the posters for their new act, I'm sure, said come see the trampolining wolf boys. From the energy of the first act, the second is launched. Wolfboy is the new Madonna, is the new multi-stage Saturn V.
Energy! Maybe the dingo ate your baby.
Energy negotiatiates so it is alright for we'll say a trampoline skin to try to be both up and down at once. It brokers an accord between two states (S0 and S1, before and after, making possible during) the imaginable alternative being untenable.
It's never the right time to be pragmatic, especially ever. Clacking teeth.
That couple would've been better off if there'd been no dingo, you could say; when the woman went to jail her man put his everything behind trying to find the dingo, or even a few bitemarks where it'd been.
The scalar quantity of energy has positive or negative magnitude and no direction, and it is what makes up your mind.
I'll tell you a secret ("tell you" a "secret?" Energy!): If I ever am give up into the right time, I have let myself be hit by a train. Notwithstanding, I might stray, next to the tracks as it hurtles through. When I wandered at night, an overlooked luxury among many heaped on highschoolers, I once drifted past a girl toeing the yellow line on a subway platform, observing her steps like listening to a violin solo, and in a voice that was a baby's, singing, as the subway train, brutally and out of nowhere, displaced the air a pucker from her cheek. The distance away from your face your lips travel in the average kiss. her fascination was unbroken like a sentence without a period.
If she was singing Mariah Carrey. Who is no Madonna. Either she was high, or that's how she was.
If she was singing with her steps, who cares about a train?
Another secret is that where I hope to god I'll go when the other choice is to sell off my books, is a dark scrubby wilderness of ropy dry roots and thorny bits and drums, where I will camp me out around a fire and, in the fullness of time, cook maybe some chicken legs and listen to the wood sing high-pitched soft notes, and sit and the burning meat smell will get into the nostrils of one of those quiet big moving things around you that aren't there till you see them, and she'll lurch into the camp site and I hope she'll eat some chicken.
And the fine sand-glints flying past on the ground like where the fireflies in the air were grains of mica on a rock discovered held to light and turned because special, dryness etching a minor light stillness into the rushing blur under the wheels. I won't look at them, I hardly did when they were fireflies. A firefly flew into my computer screen, once, twice, three times before getting frustrated and flying off in a state of consternation. One landed on my arm. Saved, as by divine grace, from my mosquito-conditioned reflex.
The kids when I get home from work laugh, giggle and ask restlessly when--"when!"--do I want to go on the trampoline. Play monkey in the middle. Tag. Isabel's too slow to play tag. That's 'cause she's a fool. No! I'm am not no I am not! Hunter's calling me a fool. And in short order he will, with a dumb look on his face, accidentally-on-purpose shove her with his nine-year-old shoulders and she will without even thinking about it counter with her five-year-old hands and in no time, but all of time is measured until you arrive at units of no meaning, they will be a snarl of sibling brutality. Or just as easily I'll say we're going outside, come on, and all will be forgotten, even the fact that Isabel's too slow to play tag, and I'll even the odds in monkey in the middle for her. But while we're out I can't say anything, only move like an animal, a horse with a boy on his back.
When I sit down on the carpet with my laptop in front of me and Isabel comes for me to imagine her up some amusement, she doesn't think for an instant that I'm the one who needs it. I pick up with one hand the duckling-colored stuffed rabbit on the floor, and Isabel lunges to grab it, and like that it's the struggle of humanity in the universe. Ms. Bunny Rabbit scurries back and forth, she darts, thinks, reacts, she turns her head to the sky in mute pathos, and when the other's claws are on her and there's no escaping the pull, it's so important to her for no reason she knows of to wave faster and faster that pink scarf which is sewed onto her hand, goodbye! Goodbye! And the contest ended I turn back to my laptop and for a while in her world Isabel becomes a bunny, somberly and with effortless concentration. A deep breath and crouch: hop!
And I, eventually, move outside, where it is becoming increasingly dull and gray, the fireflies having done what they came to do and retired. So you've got a train schedule in your wallet, and you've got maybe there's a dingo right behind some of that dark everywhereness.
It's what you don't have to be told when it means what you hear it. You're staring like someone who knows they're staring like an animal. It is the disbelief before a confrontation, what plays in your ears while the other thing gets close. It is it is it is it is it is
So this is what education is?

How it Bes
That's pronounced "bees."
For three weeks, while I'm at work I want to put stuff on my blog, but when I get home I'm too tired and I've got better things to do in my one or two hours of free time than spend it on Blogger. So that would be that, except I am clearly not one to abandon my blog. So instead I'm going to try jotting down notes whenever, and posting them at the end of the day.
It will be disordered, clipped and fragmented, and probably lacking in extrinsic or tangible benefit to the reader. Or will it...?
This is a colon:
One P. Hilton (whose by-all-reports lame interview nonetheless tripled Larry King's ratings and who without fail prompts lengthy "news" stories every day, with oddball pictures and screamer headlines like "PARIS REVEALS NAKED FEAR") is now a "celebucon" in the lingo of the (brilliantly trashy) NY Post. This, presumably, is a development from her "celebutante" status in that paper last week. I could care less for updates on the woman, but the linguistic workshop that is entertainment reporting is thrilling to see in action.
A CNN guy, talking about P. Hilton's effects on Larry King's ratings: "She's the number-two guest we could possibly get. The number-one would be Osama bin Laden. What does that say about us?"
A fourth century holy relic was recovered from a Queens pawnshop. Two
dudes of a Grecian ethnic extraction were arrested for stealing it from the altar of a Queens, NY church.
Romanian cinema flourishes in NYC!
Porumboiu's 12:08 East of Bucharest!
Mitulescu's The Way I Spent the End of the World!
Incidentally, that first one links to the Onion AV club. It's one of my favorite things to read currently (there's a long list of favorites, but I read a lot), especially since I have to pore over trade journals like Variety for work. Being an initiate of such jargon as tenpercenteries, shingles, skeins, starrers, bow and prexy, and the neutral, clipped language of these industry reports dictating the course of entertainment media over the next few months, AV club features like "recent celebrity quotes in context" strike me as downright fabulous. There's also a clever set of charts explaining celebrity identity. What I love about it is the style and originality. What kills me is that people actually do need this kind of help putting Hollywoodish things into perspective.
Saw Ozomatli yesterday in Central Park, for free. At the end of their set, they jumped off the stage and started a parade through the audience, nearly causing all the security staff's heads to explode. Most awesome. Then they started a beachball volleyball conga line thing.
Sometimes I do then again I think I don't.

Is **** dead in The Walking Dead - SPOILER WARNING
How we felt after watch s6 03
If you haven't watched episode 3 of season 6, Thank You, don't read this.
Glenn is one of the original cast members of the show, but what we all want to know is did he die at the jaws and grasping hands of the walkers?
Nicholas sees no other way out.
Did Nicholas, who should have had a bullet in his brain long ago after he tried to kill Glenn twice, eventually get him killed?
Here's the case for both sides.
YES, Glenn died.
1. Glenn called Rick "dumb ass" on the walkie talkie. That could be a nod to their first ever encounter when Glenn was on a supply run and saved Rick, calling him a dumb ass on the walkie talky.
2. The story of the man from Alexandria getting back to his wife Betsy, had parallels with Glenn trying to get back to Maggie.
3. We could have seen Glenn getting eaten but it was hard to see from the camera angle.
No, Glenn survived.
1. The episode was called "Thank you." Nicholas who was clearly suffering from PTSD, said those words to Glenn before he blew his own brains out. Could it be that Glenn is the one saying that to Nicholas whose landed on top of him and perhaps saved him from the walkers?
Blood and guts can save you in The Walking Dead.
2. If that is the case, Glenn will be covered in Nicholas's blood, guts and viscera making the zombies think he's one of them. That could allow him to hide under the dumpster that's there. He and Rick talked about a signal - could he have a flare gun that will distract the walkers and help him get away? (I think/hope he does).
FLASHBACK - Remember how Rick got Glenn & his then gang to cover themselves in guts to get past the walkers in an episode? Carol did the same to great effect on her one woman rescue mission at Terminus.
What happened to kickass Maggie?
3. Without Glenn, there'd be little point in having Maggie. She used to be a kickass, but now she's babysitting the head of Alexandria, although she might be pregnant.
Maggie's gone soft. When Glenn told her how Nicholas tried to kill her, she should have killed Nicholas.
When Father Gabriel bad mouthed Rick and Co, she should have put a bullet in his head.
4. The show is short of big characters. We have Rick, Daryl, Michonne and the all mighty Carol. The rest seem disposable.
They left a huge gap by killing off Tyreese. "WHY DID YOU DO IT?" we wail.
Abraham hasn't been given a lot to do and seems to have given up. Ditto Sasha, Eugene, Rosita, Tara and even Maggie. Apart from Aaron, the Alexandrians are pretty hopeless. Heath shows promise by saving Michonne as she almost fell going over that fence.
Well, what do you think? Have we said bye-bye to one of The Walking Dead's most popular characters?
WHAT I THINK I think Glenn will live to fight another day. I reckon having Nicholas on top of him and the blood from the shot on his face will have saved him.
He'll find a way to escape the walker hordes.
Free Zombie story - Pick Your Brain
What would happen once the zombie apocalypse was over and people (and zombies) were forced to justify their actions?
That's the scenario I took and then ran with it for my short story Pick Your Brain.
“Miss McBride, in all my years of representing clients whom other less well attuned legal brains would turn down as unwinnable, I have never come across one single case I could not win.” He pursed his lips. “Until now that is. Do you honestly think citing a…”
He cleared his throat.
“And, I’m quoting your expert witness Professor Romero here. "A virus that renders people incapable of rational thought and gives them an uncontrollable compulsion to consume human flesh, especially human brains," is going to assist your boyfriend in his defence after he was caught by two police officers, standing over the lifeless body of his friend, clutching a baseball bat soaked in the blood and chunks of brain matter from the deceased who was later found to have died from multiple brain injuries consistent with several blows to the head from a baseball bat?”
“Yes,” I said. “It’s the truth.”
Charles Benson, who had so many letters after his name it was like a game of Scrabble, eyed me like I was the last lunatic left in an asylum. “Did one of my learned colleagues put you up to this?” His eyes swept the room. “Are there hidden cameras? Is this some TV prank show?”
His reaction was hardly a new one. I’d encountered similar reactions from other barristers who were convinced I was delusional. “No,” I said, defiant, “this isn’t a prank. This is real.”
He raised his chin. The gesture reminded me of a haughty child.
“Well, in that case Miss McBride, I can’t help you. It’s a psychiatrist you need, not a man of law.”
Condescension seeped from his every word.
It was hard to hide my disappointment. I’d been sure he was the one man who could help us and argue that Scott had acted in self-defence. His friend, Archie was trying to eat him.
“I’m sorry to hear that, Mr Benson.” And I was genuinely sorry. If he couldn’t help Scott in this way he’d have to help him in another.
“I honestly thought someone of your calibre who’d successfully argued that a man wasn’t guilty of murdering his wife because he mistook her for a lion, would have a more open mind.” I paused to eye him with disdain. “Perhaps you could speak to Scott and explain why you won’t help him. He’s a teacher and a well-respected pillar of this community just like you. It’ll only take a minute. He’s outside.”
Charles Benson’s face went pumice grey. “No, I’m sorry, I don’t have the time. My next client will be here.”
I stood up and walked over to the door. “Well, in that case our business is over, Mr Benson. But there’s one last thing you can help me with.”
With a nod of the head, I opened the door. “I think you should meet Scott anyway, so you’ll understand. You see, in the attack he was bitten. More like a scrape caused by teeth sliding against his skin really. He didn’t turn as quickly as they do in the movies or in The Walking Dead.”
I gave a wry smile. “Well, things are seldom as they are in the movies.”
Scott shambled into the room, feral eyes glowing as he saw his prey. His nails were ragged and torn and bloody from eating the two prison guards on the way over and the secretary outside.
Charles Benson’s eyes were wide with terror. “You better leave now, or I’m calling the police.”
His words were strangled.
As Scott pinned him to the desk and sunk decaying teeth into his fat flesh, I couldn’t resist one last parting shot.
“Do you believe me now, Mr Benson?”
He was unable to answer. Scott had ripped out his throat – the blood that spurted out of the arrogant lawyer’s veins reminded me of raspberry sauce on an ice cream cone. Blood is never as red as you think, not when you get used to it.
Scott devoured the lips, then the nose, followed by the brain. The intestines he gorged on like cheesy string. Benson’s fingers he wolfed down like hot dogs.
Once he was done, he licked the blood and flesh from his teeth.
I wagged a finger at him. “Christ, Scott, we’re gonna run out of lawyers soon.”
Scott drooled. “HUNGRY. BRAINS.”
My face softened. “Okay, but we need to tidy up this office and go. We have more legal brains we need to pick.”

Is The Walking Dead's Enid a member of the Wolves?
A traitor inside Alexandria?
Since we first saw Enid, she's been furtively sneaking out of Alexandria to do god knows what?
Could she have been meeting up with her real people The Wolves, plotting when the time was right to invade Alexandria?
Or, could it be even worse than that, that she infiltrated where Noah's family were living and led to them being massacred?
Hey, she might even be The Wolves leader.
One thing's for sure when the marauding thugs came to Alexandria she never batted an eyelid. Could it be because she knew they were coming and had alerted them to Rick and Co leaving?
She wrote
to Carl.
Could she be taking her own advice too far, or does Enid have another secret?

Nice day for a zombie wedding
The good news for all of us who are missing TWD is that the whole world has gone zombie crazy. And that extends to people's wedding days.
Just because your wedding has gone zombie doesn't mean you can't wear a traditional white dress and suit. Expect though to get blood on your clothes.
Why not have a wedding invitation a bit like this one?
Or pay homage to one of the best Z movies ever?
And, you're gonna need entertainment. Why not have a zombie hunt?
Zombie dress for guest can be optional.

3 Things I'd love to see next in The Walking Dead
Maggie kills Nicholas after finding out that he shot Glenn and tried to get him killed by walkers.
Why is Nicholas still alive?
Let's face it, since selfish, cowardly Nicholas got Noah killed, then tried to kill Glenn (twice) he's been crushing for a bruising and deserves a bullet in the brain just as much as any walker.
This is what happens when you trust Nicholas.
Failing that, Carol will do it.
It'd be better if it was Maggie though to show she hasn't lost her killer instinct.
Here actor Steven Yeun explains why Glen didn't kill Nicholas in The Walking Dead.
Father Gabriel gets killed by someone - walkers or people.
I know the portrayal of a man guilt stricken by what he's had to do to survive (letting his whole congregations die as he cowered inside a church, hoarding the food) is probably an accurate one of what would happen in a ZA, but screw realistic.
In a real zombie -geddon, everybody would have died because you'd be like "Zombies, yet right. You're having a laugh," as one of them started gnawing on your arm.
Sasha should have ended Father Gabriel.
The guy is also so far down the sea of crazy he came back to Alexandria and left the gates open!
And, he told the leader of Alexandria that Rick & Co were dangerous.
If Gabriel wanted God to judge him, that's fair enough but he shouldn't have deliberately left those gates open.
Time to end him, Rick or Carol, or Michonne (he almost got her and Carl killed back at the church too). Anybody really. Seth Gilliam, The Wire star who plays him has been underused.
Morgan says to Rick, "So, you're crazy, now man. What a role reversal, huh!"
Last time Morgan & Rick met, Morgan was the crazy one.
Now look at Rick. Bloody after shooting someone and manic looking.
What would you like to see next in The Walking Dead? I'd love to know.
Write your own version of The Walking Dead
Get your teeth into writing a zombie novel
And so Dead Bastards was born. It's now available worldwide:)
Along the way I’ve learnt a few things -
1. Don’t concentrate on too many people’s stories.
2. Respect the genre.
3. Make your characters distinctive.
In the case of the hit show, they focussed too much on the Lori, Shane and Rick love triangle. In the end, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who got bored with it. If I wanted that kind of storyline, I'd watch a soap opera.
In a zombie novel, the zombies must be king.
Now for the zombies
Will it be the shufflers or the runners?
Will they be smarter zombies or the standard slow kind?
Choose wisely, then run (or shuffle) with it.
Why not check out my zombie novel?
Dead Bastards is available in paperback and Kindle (although a book's probably better as a Kindle isn't much use against a zombie - trust me, I've tried).

Why Beth shouldn't have died in The Walking Dead
It didn't have to end like this
The Walking Dead mid-season finale for me left a nasty taste in my mouth. Life may be cheap in the zombie apocalypse, but it shouldn't be for the main cast members of the hit show. And Beth's death was cheap. Too cheap.
And, it didn't make sense.
Noah didn't need Beth to save him
Beth and Carol were leaving the hospital. Dawn wanting Noah to stay behind, shouldn't have been a game changer. Noah was a survivor, he would have escaped again under his own steam.
And, Beth risked the life of Rick, Daryl & Co with her failed attempt to kill Dawn. The bullets could have ended up flying. Everybody could have died.
The new sreetwise Beth would never have made that mistake.
So, how should it have gone down?
Nobody dies
Here's my take -
Instead of "I get it now" and Beth stabbing Dawn, I'd have this -
Beth didn't need to stab Dawn
"I see how it is here. You let certain people do what they want, so you can kid your self that you're in charge. That you're helping people. You let some of the men, members of the Atlanta Police Department, do what they want, including raping women. You mess with people's heads and beat up kids like Noah. Your our own doctor even killed another doctor because he was scared he'd be replaced by him."
Then she looks at Rick, Daryl, Carol & Co. "These guys, we're a family. We don't hurt one another or use intimidation or brutality and call it surviving. We stick together because we want to."
She turns her gaze on the hospital. "You won't survive this world. You think you will, but you won't because you don't trust one another. Fear's the only thing keeping you together."
That would have stayed true to Beth's character. She was someone who believe people were basically good. That even when they strayed they'd find their way back.
Instead, what we got was the senseless (and wasteful) death of Beth Greene in what was a badly written storyline.
What do you think?
Did Beth's death make sense to you?
How would you have liked things to go down at Grady Memorial?
I'd love to know what you think.

The 1910 challenge
I don't normally post stuff from Rapha (mixed feelings and they get enough press on their own) but this is worth a watch.
The challenge of a ride like that is very appealing. And being able to do it with a group of like-minded friends would make for a great memory. I am not ready to admit that I'm interested in randonneur riding but I won't deny it sounds interesting.

Richard Prince

參閱狀況報告 參閱狀況報告
Skarstedt Gallery, New York
Private Collection
Christie's, New York, 16 November 2006, Lot 410
Acquired from the above sale by the present owner
Against a backdrop brimming with free-flowing purple brushwork, flashes of golden reds, oranges and yellows peak through Richard Prince’s Untitled (Put Them in a Vase) to set the stage for the main act, a ludicrous gag that leaves its audience shocked, disturbed and amused, all at the same time. Untitled (Put Them in a Vase) is an arresting example of Prince’s iconic Joke paintings in which nonsensical one-liners culled from America’s pop-culture float against monochromatic backgrounds to introduce the seemingly irrelevant concept of humor into the resolutely intellectual sphere of fine art. Flirting with the hard-edged minimalist masters of the 1960s and the whimsical color-field expressionists of the 1970s, Prince brilliantly borrows from both and produces a body of work that turns the social conventions of painting on its head and calls into question the rigidity of its position within our cultural understanding.
Although widely associated with the Pictures Generation of the 1980s, Prince has always remained an outlier amongst his contemporaries, standing out for the distinctive coolness of his work. Whilst many of the appropriators of his generation were inspired by postmodern theories on authenticity and originality, Prince’s work continuously re-conceptualizes found imagery, focusing specifically on the underpinnings of the American identity: fashion, women, sex, cars, gangs, motorbikes and lowbrow American humor, to uniquely characterize his conceptual practice. Following his canonic series of Cowboy photographs from the early 1980s, an iconic selection of re-appropriated images from the Marlboro Men cigarette campaign, Prince pivoted, finding a new subject matter, the jokes. As Prince describes, “I found the subject matter, which was the jokes. Before that, I wanted to paint but I didn’t know what to paint. The subject comes first, the medium second” (the artist in an interview with Karen Rosenberg, New York Magazine, 2 May 2005).
Keeping in line with the found imagery that he used for his photographs, the jokes were extracted from the popular press, revealing Prince's avid fascination for the low-brow and the kitsch in a novel way. He explained, “Beginning the jokes was like starting all over. I didn’t know what I was doing. At the time artists were casting sculptures in bronze, making huge paintings, talking about prices and clothes and cars and spending vast amounts of money. So I wrote jokes on little pieces of paper and sold them for $10 each” (the artist in Exh. Cat., New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Richard Prince: Spiritual America, 2007, p. 37). The corny gags were a natural continuation of Prince's interest in generic advertisements, only, now, his strategy and process was reversed. While in his photographs of Cowboys the sentiment of the image was radically altered by removing the branding and text, here, by contrast, the image gave way, elevating the text as the focus. What remained were a series of condensed, resized and repurposed one-liners, blazingly illuminated against their individual chromatic backgrounds.
Despite their surface-level ostensible simplicity, the choice of these comic one-liners as a new body of work in fact showcased a sophisticated and intellectual summation of the American psyche, all while maintaining Prince’s core practice of appropriation. Submitted for publication by an anonymous writer and selected from the thousands by the editorial committee of a publication, these jokes that entered the public sphere reflected a certain collusion of public taste, desires and prejudices. Just as the New York Times aligns its cartoons with the tenor of the time, these deceptively simple jokes shed light on the cultural epoch of which they are borne. Often mischievous, rapid-fire humor, the banality of Prince's jokes, emancipated from their signifying context, reveal the essence of the American subconscious. At the same time, these unattributed and unascribed puns, quoted without license and represented in a matter-of-fact manner, make a damning indictment of the notions of authorship and originality that the art world holds sacrosanct. In an extension of the Duchampian readymade, Prince's blatant piracy further revolutionizes entrenched ideals of intellectual property. As such, Prince carves out a unique place for himself within the history of art by capturing a cultural sentiment while destabilizing the assumed cultural notions of authorship and ownership.

Scaling user growth: don’t bank on partnerships
Andrew Chen has a great post up detailing the ways to scale user growth. He lists the four (paid, viral, SEO, sales – for B2B) and then ‘other’ in which he says:
Partnerships are seductive because they promise big returns based on little work, once the deal is closed. Moreover the big company you are talking to is probably promising big things. However, as Andrew says, they rarely come off. Usually the deal doesn’t close, even after endless meetings, and then the next most common outcome after that is the deal is signed but for some reason doesn’t deliver the promised growth.
Almost without exception the right strategy is put in the hard graft to find a paid, viral, SEO or sales route to market think of partnerships as a small effort high risk/high reward endeavour. If partnerships look like the most viable way to grow then it’s probably time to look again at the fundamentals.
Finally, if you got this far (or even if you haven’t) then you should go read Andrew’s post in full. His advice on how to balance non-scalable customer acquisition with scalable acquisition at the early stages is spot on.
• Alan Gleeson
Hi Nic, I often find the bigger partner’s primary role is offering a ‘route to market’ which looks great in theory but in practice there can be numerous challenges. The ‘displacement effect’ is one – if the ‘big companies’ staff are promoting something else already why should they switch? Similarly, if precious real estate on key traffic pages are already occupied why the switch? The existing occupant is likely to resist for one.
Unless their is strong demand for the new (usually innovative) offering alongside higher margins (than the existing product/ service it is hard to justify)…Of course if the demand was strong in the first place the smaller co is likely to be more focused on optimizing direct channels. As always there will be a few exceptions but as a rule of thumb I tend to agree that most partnerships fail to deliver, no matter how tempting they appear. Alan
• brisbourne
Yes. When partnership deals do get signed they often founder because whilst they make sense at a strategic level they don’t make sense for the person takes with implementation.

Busy Busy
Today has been so busy. We cleaned from like 11 this morning till 5 this evening. Nice, deep cleaning. I love when my house is nice and clean. It feels so much more inviting. Yes, I know that is something simple to maintain, I just fail miserably at it.
So this week, we get to start off in a spotless house. Yippee!!
Zachy was just doing something, we're not sure what since we were in the other room, and hurt his foot/ankle. Again, not really sure which he hurt. But I heard a thud and a high pitched scream. Not anything like an, 'I'm mad' scream or anything, but a pained scream. He is now limping. And we have no idea what is wrong. He cries every now and again and points to his foot. Right now, Matt is icing it. Hopefully, that does the trick.
It was a beautiful day, and the perfect temperature to have all the windows open airing out the place. Things feel new, somehow.
I knew when I wrote about my feelings last night, that I would have to hear opinions. And I did. And it's ok. I am married to someone who doesn't believe in depression, so it makes it that much harder. He, and other people who don't think it is real, have obviously never bore the weight that I do. No, I'm not crying all day long. Yes, I get up and function. That doesn't change the fact that with everything that happens there is a suffocating weight.
It isn't because I haven't prayed hard enough about it. It isn't something that I can just say, "ok, I'm done with this, time to be happy". Don't you think if I could, I would? If you've never been here, you couldn't possibly understand. And that's ok. I just need to figure out where I am right now. I'm sure the answer is that I will go on every day, like I always do. I won't seek any help, because honestly, I don't have time for that. And this will be a fleeting entry, never spoken of again.
We have nothing planned this week. It should be a nice lazy week. Although we do have speech and occupational therapies. But they come here, so it's all good.
I'm sitting on an exercise ball right now, that is quite deflated. I blew it up yesterday, and it is concerning that it is so flat right now. I hope there isn't a hole in it somewhere. Yep, that was a vital piece of info that you all needed to know.
OK, I'm done rambling. I'll talk later...

War of words at the heart of Europe
This article is more than 14 years old
The collapse of talks to form a federal government is testing Belgium's legendary capacity for political compromise to the limit.
Negotiations to form a new coalition for the Belgian federal government collapsed on Thursday, some 74 days after election day. The grey and uncharismatic Yves Leterme, the Flemish Christian Democrat prime minister-designate charged with forming the government, requested from King Albert II that he find another formateur to replace him.
The premier-in-waiting's decision came shortly after crisis talks failed to shore up Flemish-Walloon communitarian differences in the Christian Democrat-Liberal (Orange-Blue) coalition-to-be. Although coalition building is a delicate and slow process in this complex and fractured political landscape, the fall of the government before it was even formed threatens to take Belgium into uncharted territory.
Accusations have been traded regarding who is responsible for the crisis, with some blaming Leterme's inexperience, lack of consensus-building skills and polarising manner, while others blamed strident members of the Francophone Christian Democrats. However, the stalemate seems too broad to blame exclusively on one person or party.
The broad lines of contention had already been drawn in June during one of Belgium's most polarised general elections in years. The wealthier Flemish who still bear the Francophone Walloons a grudge for the historical suppression of their cultural and linguistic rights have been pushing hard for further devolution of power to the regions. This is resisted in equal measure by the Walloons who are generally more attached to the centralised Belgian state and who stand to lose massive solidarity transfers from the central government for their relatively impoverished region which has suffered hard from the flight of heavy industry, traditional manufacturing and mining to other parts of the world.
You may be excused for thinking that nothing much happens in Belgium, a quaint land of mild-mannered and polite chocolate connoisseurs, beer aficionados and comic-strip lovers. But the country has been gripped by a non-violent conflict that began in the late 19th century which has sent few ripples into the wider world - largely due to the altogether sensible Belgian penchant for convoluted political compromises. But Belgium has now reached an existential impasse and is suffering an identity crisis.
So could divorce now be in the air?
Well, the Flemish far right are all for separation. The anti-immigrant pro-independence Vlaams Belang's strongman Filip Dewinter has called on the Flemish parliament to open the floor to discussions over independence. "Flanders must bare its teeth. The Flemish parliament must declare, without further federal negotiations, its autonomy and present it to the Flemish public in a referendum," the extremist wrote on his website. It should be noted that the Flemish independence movement is not just a far-right phenomenon, but it is largely a conservative one.
However, the quest for Flemish independence comes up against an immediate brick wall: any unilateral declaration of independence is unconstitutional, even if confirmed by a referendum. In addition, although many Flemings may grumble about the relatively high tax burden they must bear in order to prop up the faltering Walloon economy, Flanders still remains one of the richest places on earth, with a high quality of life index. In addition, few are disgruntled enough to desire unlawful independence, which would largely be cosmetic anyway, since the Flemish enjoy self-determination already and largely call the shots in Belgium.
Another sticking point is multicultural Brussels which lies geographically in the heart of Flanders, has a native population that is around 90% Francophone, and provides employment for hundreds of thousands of Flemings. For obvious reasons, neither side is willing to give up the de facto capital of Europe which, like a dysfunctional marriage, is one of the main forces holding the country together. This leaves the Flemish independence movement with some stark choices: either give up Brussels, leave its current semi-autonomous status intact or "annex" it. Somehow, I don't see the "Jerusalemisation" of Brussels ever happening.
But what would the consequences of a unilateral declaration of independence be for Belgians and the wider Europe?
It is difficult to say what the effects would be, since no in-depth socio-economic and political studies have been carried out into the subject. In addition, it would depend on how and when such a declaration occurred.
The Flemish in favour of splitting away hope that a divorce would mean more of the fruits of their economic success would stay at home. However, this overlooks several important factors. Is it really in Flanders's self-interest to have a relatively impoverished and, hence, unstable neighbour at its doorstep? In addition, the tax revenue flows between the two regions are well-known, but the more subtle economic dynamics are less well understood - and, hence, a split could have an adverse effect on Flanders, especially in terms of business confidence if there is accompanying political turmoil.
Moreover, there is a lot to be said for the wisdom of maintaining economic diversity. Prior to the second world war, Flanders was the relatively less developed region of Belgium, but Flemish multilingualism, versatility and focus on the service sector, hard sciences and the modern knowledge economy turned around its fortunes in the post-war years. But there is no reason to believe that this situation will last forever. A forewarning of this was how Flanders suffered disproportionately from the bursting of the dotcom bubble a few years ago.
Economic winds change and future Walloons could repay the relative Flemish largesse of today. Furthermore, Wallonia is making strong efforts to turn its fortunes around.
On the wider European stage, Flemish independence would present the EU with an unprecedented dilemma. On the symbolic level, it would appear paradoxical that a country that has been at the forefront of European integration over the past half century has unravelled. With the union already faltering under the weight of enlargement, eurosceptics would have a field day, conveniently ignoring the fact that nearly all Belgians are in favour of the European project.
Although Flanders easily meets - and even surpasses - all the objective requirements of membership, it may not simply be business as usual, contrary to Flemish nationalist expectations. If the Walloons are not on board and decide to be obstinate, they could make it difficult for a breakaway Flanders. Moreover, European rules state that no change to membership is allowed without the unanimous approval of all member states which, in a union of 27 countries, is hardly guaranteed.
Other EU member states may be hesitant to take up the Flemish cause because they are no less an artificial construct than Belgium and would fear that nationalist movements within their own borders would be emboldened: the Scottish in the UK, the Basque in Spain, to mention just two examples.
In short, it is in both communities' own long-term best interests to make the marriage work. As recent polls have shown, neither community wants to be swallowed up by the Netherlands and France. And the majority of this pragmatic people is well aware that a largely symbolic independence is not worth all the hassle it would involve.
More importantly, the language divide leads people to confuse linguistic diversity for cultural difference. As many of my Belgian friends have observed, the Flemish and Walloons have more in common with each other than with their language community across the border: they both value pragmatism, modesty, privacy, understatement and egalitarianism. In addition, they are perhaps the least patriotic and nationalistic people in Europe. Flemings view with disdain the stereotypical loudness and swagger of their Dutch neighbours, while the Walloons find the quintessential aloofness of the French unpalatable.
However, devolution is entrenching differences and, in a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, leading to divergence. Administratively it makes sense but what we need are efforts to reconstruct a common cultural identity, through, for example, bilingual schools and a bilingual national media to rebuild mutual knowledge.

Luc Braquet, Fashion Photographer: Inside Elite Model Look
Fashion photographer Luc Braquet’s photos have become part of the visual language of the Elite Model Look contest since he became World Final photographer in 2014. Before that, he worked with the National Finalists at the final of Elite Model Look France. Shot in black and white, his powerful portraits of the next generation of top talent capture the beauty of these models taking their first steps in the industry in quietly timeless elegance.
Since working with the models as Finalists, Luc has shot Vittoria Ceretti and Birgit Kos on separate occasions for Harper’s Bazaar and Ysaunny Brito for Ashi Studio. He has also shot the dancers of the English National Ballet at the Royal Opera House, and Dior Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri for Vogue.
We caught up with him to find out what he does at the World Final, what he looks for in the Finalists and most importantly, how he does it.
What do you look for at the World Final?
I always try to find the real personality of the Finalists. What's in their eyes. All of the Finalists are young, so if they work later in the fashion industry, they will need to know how to change their look many times for editorials, shows, and campaigns. What I'm looking for is their "first picture", the one they'll keep for a lifetime.
Being photographer at the World Final means working with an incredible number of models in a short amount of time – what is the best thing, and what are the challenges?
The best thing is to reinvent yourself every day. I am never satisfied, and I try to progress and improve with every photoshoot. The challenge is to deliver on time! A lot of work goes into being a photographer, not just pressing the shutter. Along with the whole Elite Model Look team, we all work really hard during the World Final, and it's incredible to see it all come together.
How did you become a photographer?
I always took pictures, I started when I was a kid. Both my grandfathers and godfather gave me cameras every birthday. Then I became an Art Director after I was at Art School in Paris. For few years, I was doing both jobs in the same time, but eventually I chose to being a full-time photographer when I felt ready. I have always felt the desire to talk with images more than with words.

If someone wants to become a fashion photographer, what’s your biggest single piece of advice to them?
To be a good photographer, you need to work hard. You need to get used to being awake when other people are sleeping!
Which photographers do you personally admire in the industry? Do you have a favourite style?
I love photographers who respect the model first, and who build a story around their personality with clothes, not the other way around. I love the timeless beauty of the glossy magazines of the 1990s. You can feel the freedom in the sand and the wind, in the sweet sound of the click of an analogue camera shutter!
If you didn’t work in fashion as a photographer, what would you be doing?
I'd be a detective for sure! You can usually find me in Parisian coffee shops early in the morning and late at night, watching at people and imagining their lives from what I can see.

My Passport will not show up on iMac running macOS Big Sur
I have reached out to WD Customer Support and exhausted all troubleshooting suggestions with them. Since my device reached End of Support in 2013, there really isn’t anything more they can do. Maybe someone else has seen this issue and might be able to help! I’m pasting below all of the troubleshooting steps I performed based on my interactions with WD Customer Support.
Since I submitted my Incident, I have upgraded my iMac to macOS Big Sur version 11.3. And the issue remains the same.
There is no error to capture in a screen shot, because the device is not recognized at all. When connecting it to the iMac, it spins on, like it should, and the tiny light comes on, but nothing happens on the iMac to actually recognize the device.
I am including a screenshot of Disk Utility, where you can see that nothing appears for the device. You can that a different Western Digital device is connected correctly, it is a 3TB device that is formatted as 2 volumes, one for regular use, and one used specifically for Time Machine Backups. Please note that I have connected the 3TB device into the same USB port on this iMac as the one I have currently plugged the My Passport into, and the USB port functions correctly with the 3TB device.
The My Passport drive was accessible and functioning properly approximately 2 months ago on my old 2009 iMac running OS X El Capitan. I just recently tried to connect it to my new late 2020 iMac, and it will not connect, just like many others who I’ve read that are having the same connectivity issues since using macOS Big Sur.
There is no physical damage to the My Passport device. And as stated above, it connected properly to my old iMac. I have not tried another USB cable, because 1) it is a special cable that is needed to connect this My Passport device, and 2) it worked just fine with my old iMac.
I went through all of the steps that were possible in the article/link you provided. I will provide a response for each step listed in the article. 1) There is no power adapter, it gets its power from the USB cable connected to the iMac. 2) As stated above, I did not change out the cable because it is not a standard USB cable and the device worked fine on my old iMac. 3) I have tried multiple USB ports on my new iMac and the results are the same, and other devices function properly in each of those USB ports. 4) I turned off the iMac, let it restart, waited a full hour, and then retried connecting the device, and it still did not work. 5) As I already stated, it worked on my old iMac. I do not agree, that there is any issue with my new iMac, every other device, including a Western Digital 3TB device, all work correctly. I am not contacting Apple about this issue, this is a Western Digital My Passport issue. 6) Since it showed up correctly on my old iMac, the device has not failed.
I have a similar problem. My WDeasystore 4TB was recognized on my 2019 MacBook Pro 16-inch using a USB-C to USB 3 adapter. macOS is Big Sur; all current (11.3). Disk Utility previously successfully created three APFS containers that were used to create backup images on this drive. Shortly thereafter first one, then all three of the backup APFS containers have disappeared without being deleted. At first the emptied drive was still visible to Disk Utility, just missing the containers as if the disk had never been erased, formatted, and used without apparent trouble.
I have used 3 different cables. All worked before and continue to work with other drives. (As I write this, a Time Machine backup just completed to a similar. older “My Passport for Mac” 4TB drive. This WDeasystore drive is only 1 week old.) Disk Utility runs after normal boot for my administrative user. Same after rebooting. Also tried running Disk Utility from Recovery mode (cmd-R on re-booting). Under no condition is the presence of the WDeasystore drive seen by Disk Utility. The drive powers up every time. It can be felts spinning and vibrating, LED flashing. The pattern of vibration varies as if the firmware is trying to do something. Essentially the same results on my vintage 2011 MacBook Pro 17-inch with High Sierra installed. The formerly used APFS containers were previously functional on the 2011 computer. Now the whole drives and its containers are invisible, having disappeared.
AppleCare has been consulted several times. They have no explanation to offer for the disappearing containers, stating that APFS is supposed to be more robust that the older Mac OS (Extended) file system.
Whenever the new drive is connected to the computer the cursor turns into the spinning beachball and nothing works when clicked. Nor does the keyboard work. It is impossible to correctly eject the drive for two reasons: it is not seen, and the computer is unresponsive. Even opt-cmd-ESC does not work to access the Force Quit menu. As soon as the drive is unplugged, the spinning beachball ceases and all other applications, clicks, and keystrokes start working again.
I’m writing in response to this posting rather than others reporting invisible drives with versions of OS X or macOS because of the similarity to description including the spinning beachball cursor.

Who says building sandcastles is only for kids?
True, just as tides consume sandcastles, years eventually wash away most adults’ zest for pressing sand into molds, digging little moats, hauling buckets of water from the surf and scouring the shore for architectural accents of wood, shell and rock.
But during the annual Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest, all ages come to play.
Dozens of teams, from families and friends to workplace groups to traveling squads of sand sculptors, converge on Cannon Beach to participate in the oldest contest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest (the 54th annual event will happen June 9, 2018).
And it’s the masters’ division — typically a half-dozen or so teams comprised largely of adults who still like to play in the sand as they pursue cash prizes and bragging rights — that attracts the biggest throngs
of spectators.
Whether elaborate castles or other structures, sea creatures, whimsical characters or story-telling sandscapes, each team effort is part construction project, part artistic endeavor.
“The masters’ teams utilize forms so they can really pack the sand in” as they form their massive but short-lived installations, says Debbie Nelson, chair of the contest committee for the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce.
“They pound the sand down for a certain amount of time, then they take the forms off, and then they can start doing all the intricate artwork for sculpting. They build the big stuff; they’re the show.”
A team called the Form Finders won the 2017 contest, for example, with its entry called “Reverse Safari” — an imaginative scene in which a lion drove a Jeep into a campsite, with a giraffe as his passenger, as a campfire blazed and a crocodile crawled toward a terrified camper peering from his tent.
These creations are made entirely of sand, of course, with the aid of nothing but water, simple forms, pressure and hand-sculpting tools (no power tools or additives for adhesion, coloring, etc. are allowed).
Depending on the amount of time between low and high tides, masters’ teams are given just five or six hours to work.
“We have a really thin sliver of a beach,” Nelson says of the area just north of the iconic Haystack Rock where the competition happens. “So when the tide comes back in, there go the sandcastles. If you come back to the beach tomorrow, you’ll just see little mounds where they were.”
Organizers try to keep people off of the creations into the evening, after judging is complete, so that as many visitors as possible can admire them.
Some 15,000 spectators typically come throughout the day — Cannon Beach’s busiest of the year — and this is the one day when people can drive and park on the beach.
Nelson herself, a lifelong Cannon Beach resident, thinks she has attended every contest to date. “It started when I was just four years old, and it’s a big part of my life,” she says. “I’ve competed in it numerous times and usually have been involved in some form or another.”
Sandcastles helped the whole community get involved, in fact, and unite in the recovery effort after Cannon Beach sustained significant damage from a tsunami caused by a 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Local families gathered that year for a sandcastle contest to raise spirits and attract people back to the beach, and organized the first official Cannon Beach Sandcastle Day & Festival the following year.
“It was a way to bring people back to the beach who were cautious to come because of the big waves. And we haven’t seen big waves like that since,” Nelson says with a smile.
In 2014, the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department designated the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest an Oregon Heritage Tradition that has helped shaped the history of the state.
Recent festival additions include a downtown parade on Friday evening; live music on the beach along with a bonfire and free s’mores on Saturday night; and a 5K fun run and walk on Sunday morning.
“We just keep adding things; it makes it fun,” Nelson says.
The same could be said for why building sandcastles never gets old.

Excoriation Basics
Excoriation disorder is characterized by recurrent picking at one's skin to the point that damage or discomfort is caused. This guide outlines how excoriation disorder affects children and how it's diagnosed and treated.
Excoriation: What Is It?
Excoriation: What to Look For
Marks or scabs on the body from a child possibly picking his own skin are key signs that he may be affected by excoriation. The face is the most common target, but young people also pick at arms, legs, back, gums, lips, shoulders, scalp, stomach, chest, fingernails and toenails. Some children pick at one particular part of the body repeatedly, and others “rotate” to allow the previous part of the body to begin to heal. Skin picking is generally done with just a child’s own fingers, though it is not unheard of for children to use tweezers or other implements. Skin picking can be triggered by anxiety or stress, and provide children with a feeling of relief. But the child may experience guilt, shame, and embarrassment about his habit, and attempt to hide or cover up both the act and the resulting evidence of it in the forms of marks or scabs.
Excoriation: Risk Factors
Children who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, or who have first-degree family members with OCD, are more likely to develop the disorder. Girls are also more at risk.
Excoriation: Diagnosis
To meet the criteria for excoriation disorder a child must be engaged in recurrent skin picking that produces skin lesions, he must have made attempts to cut back or stop the behavior, and the skin picking must be causing him significant distress or impairment in his functioning.
Excoriation: Treatment
Treatment for excoriation will most likely include psychotherapy and may include medications. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in particular can help a child become more aware of her skin picking and begin to recognize the emotions and mental states that are likely to trigger it. Over time, with professional help, the habit of skin picking can be reversed. Medication is usually not the first choice in treating excoriation, although antidepressants like SSRI’s may be prescribed while a child participates in cognitive behavior therapy.
Excoriation: Risk For Other Disorders
Excoriation often occurs along with trichotillomania (hair pulling), OCD and major depressive disorder.

Why career is important for everyone
What are your profession objectives? This inquiry is asked once in each meeting. Aside from this there are some comparable inquiries, which are asked in the meeting, as
“You need to make some long haul objectives for your profession?”
At the point when a man is gotten some information about his vocation objectives, at that point the Hiring Managers initially tries to determine whether these objectives of Candidate incorporate the development of his organization. To be sure, all effective people have an unmistakable perspective of profession objectives in the beginning periods of their lives. The above inquiries are not simply work questions. The response to these inquiries looks at the prescience of a man. In this article, we will comprehend the genuine significance of profession objectives, their significance in a man’s life, and different vocation objectives and how they can accomplish it by making a genuine objective.
What is a profession objective?
Vocation will likely essentially set itself up in a particular time span, scholastically and professionally.
What are the diverse sorts of profession objectives?
Diverse kinds of profession objectives are this way; these are for the most part here and now and long haul. While here and now vocation objectives are of brief length (as the name proposes), the objectives set for 10-20 years are long haul. For better illumination, the vocation objective of the previously mentioned 17-year-old kid is a case of a long haul profession objective. For here and now objectives, your objectives must be partitioned into a few sections.
Why are vocation objectives vital throughout everyday life?
Vocation’s objective powers one individual to accomplish it. Correspondingly, if a man is ahead with a right vocation objective, at that point just an appropriate bearing in life will be effortlessly accessible, at that point it is important to achieve the objective and buckle down and continue striving to satisfy it.
Be that as it may, accomplishing long haul objectives will be troublesome. All things considered, isolate your objectives into littler parts and break them into commendable work with the goal that you can get little chances to satisfy them and be spurred to achieve different objectives.
At the point when a man has a specific objective he could ever imagine, he centers his objectives in his day by day routine and endeavors to achieve his objective by achieving his objective by achieving every one of the difficulties.
Then again, the individuals who don’t set objectives are astounded that when the time passes and they see that their life is the same, they don’t perceive specific changes throughout their life. Indeed, even in the wake of working for 4 to 5 years in a similar organization, not simply having an unmistakable objective, they locate their own way of life slack and exhausting.
How to make reasonable and qualified vocation objectives?
Endeavor to comprehend what your ability is, comprehend what your enthusiasm is and with regards to knowing which accomplishment you need to go towards, at that point you begin striving to accomplish it. Methodologies set by fruitful individuals can likewise be useful in accomplishing your objective.
Before building up any reasonable profession objectives, there is a need to complete an exhaustive research above all else, choose what your objective is and how much time you need to give that objective, or accomplish the objective at the pinnacle of your age. At that point, gather whatever asset you need to meet or accomplish your objective. After this, distinguish your potential and remembering your potential, to accomplish your objectives, make here and now objectives and long haul objectives and take them to finish it totally. Since you are completely mindful of the considerable number of objectives of your vocation objectives and profession objectives, at that point you can continue with finish clearness and make progress.

Keep info current on multi-race events
February 06, 2019 3:00 AM
The jury is still out whether legalized sports betting in states outside of Nevada will have a positive or negative impact on horse racing.
They have always shared the stage in Nevada sportsbooks although horse racing is more the supporting actor to the lead role sports have held.
There are some in racing who are worried that given an option horseplayers may divert their wagering dollars to sports and shun the less predictable pari-mutuel pools.
Horse racing needs more transparency in their pools. Specifically, players need to know what the potential payoffs are in multi-race wagers well before the last leg of the sequence.
There should be a display that gives minimum and maximum payouts on every runner in the upcoming race in Pick 3’s, Pick 4’s, Pick 5’s and Pick 6’s.
Say you catch a big price in the first leg of a Pick 4 sequence, have a single in the second leg and are deep in the final two legs. Imagine knowing the range of payoffs if your single wins in the second leg. Having that knowledge would help make the decision on whether to hedge on your single.
Currently, players have no idea what their payoff would be until will-pays are shown in the final leg of the sequence. If horse racing is going to compete with sports betting, it is going to have to respect the fact that gamblers desire transparency and information.
Keeping these pools “blind” might not matter to the casual bettor who is betting small amounts. But they do matter greatly to bigger players.
Moreover, tracks have started to push “jackpot” style wagers. These are Pick 5 or Pick 6 bets that pay out the entire pool if there is just one winning ticket. If there is more than one winning ticket, the pool pays out a much smaller percentage to winners and rolls over the remaining amount (carryover) into the next racing day.
For the most part, players have no idea about the potential for a winning jackpot score until the final leg of the sequence. This costs horse racing a great marketing opportunity.
The appeal of gambling can be as much about imagining a big score as it is about actually winning.
If a player knows there is a chance, no matter how remote, a pathway to a huge payout exists, it will have a big impact. Other players can live vicariously through the “live” jackpot runners along the sequence.
Decision-makers need to embrace technology in all its forms. Horse racing has been woefully behind the curve in this area for many decades. Illuminating blind pools is just one area that technology should be enhanced to the benefit of horseplayers.
Play Of The Week
The play of the week comes in the second race on Thursday at Oaklawn Park. It is an optional claiming race at one mile with a purse of 43,000.
Oaklawn has played to speed, which is why it’s likely the pace of the second race on Thursday will be lightning fast and set up for the deepest closer in the race. Operation Stevie (No. 4) is a come-from-the-clouds type that will be an absolutely unencumbered last for most of the race. He’ll be able to save ground while the speed is contested and fast in front of him.
Last year, this Indiana-bred took the exact same path (three Indy-bred stakes, layoff, route at OP) to win here off the break at 4-1. He loves the surface and has worked well for the return. He is 6-1 on the morning line.

Political Pelotas, Part 1: El Clásico
Even a certified schizophrenic cannot be a fan of both.
It cannot be avoided. As in some other countries, there is more to a football game in Spain that a bunch of men not touching a polka-dotted ball with their hands. (Yes, I said football. Get over it.). Sure, there are many in Spain who don’t know every detail or all statistics of a given player or team, but there seems to be a constant running awareness, like a public consciousness, of the general well-being of the local team. Here, the overwhelming majority support Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, or the colloquial Real Madrid, also called Los Blancos. Born in 1902, the team has smart colors on their jerseys and boast some of the best players in the world. It is always a pleasure to watch a game. Their much-loved and disliked Portuguese coach, José Mourihno, with the seemingly prerequisite perpetual scarf and well-fitted suit, is often thought of more of a star than his players. The team is a massive collection of talent and spectacle, partly thanks to a quarter of a billion Euro expenditure on players and staff. It is the richest football club in the world, in terms of revenue.
A full house at Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid against Real Sociedad.
As I’ve grown older, I have repeatedly come to the conclusion that sports are a colossal waste of my time and attention. Watching grown adults who have never stopped indulging in playground antics can be stupefying and just plain annoying. And I’ll leave alone, for now, the subject of how much money these people make. And even less excusable are the adults who obsess over it, watching hours of TV coverage and reading columns and columns of repetitive analysis. I can say this without fear of offending because I have been, and sometimes still am, one of those adults. (And the answer to the question: Yes, I do appreciate a little bit of observational contradiction). Since childhood, there have been a few teams that have enjoyed my overly passionate support, I am sure to their great appreciation. The New York Yankees, the Phoenix Suns in basketball, Springboks in international Rugby, San Diego Chargers in American football (and of course who could forget table tennis’ Zhang Jike?). When I was 12 years old I developed a strange obsession with Duke University basketball. I don’t know what I was thinking there, but I decided that the tears that I shed after they lost a championship game (to a team I can’t remember) were the result of serious, but correctable, schizophrenic behavior of misplaced empathy. I inexplicably co-opted the pain and triumphs of a basketball team in North Carolina. Utterly bizarre.
I have since mostly grown out of sports, with a few exceptions. To me, Yankees baseball has become a symbol of greed and sanitized business culture, professional basketball seems like a collection of giant millionaires playing on a court that is too small for them, and American football has proven itself as just another complex web of corporations that manipulates a bored public into spending their money and attention on a game blatantly molded around beer commercials. And the mere thought of golf makes me want to stab myself in the eyes with a spork. I am not completely sure why European football interests me at all, even now, as an adult. I come from a cultural predisposition that tells me the game is boring, lacking points and excitement. But when I see that green pitch on a TV screen, it often grabs my attention. Some people hate football because they feel it intellectually castrates the public. Nowadays, this may be a slight overstatement, but it is true that, if you look around a bar when a game is on, people are staring with mouths half-open, looking for the little white ball as it moves around in trapezoids, watching like Pavlov’s dogs at a pinball machine made of T-bone steaks. (It has been mentioned to me, on more than one occasion, that the dictator Franco had no problem perpetuating football to keep the public occupied and distracted, thus aiding in the inhibition of intellectual and critical discourse and thought. But in the spirit of social progressiveness, I have no choice but to file these comments in the box of meaningless bitching that also contains speakeasys, debates about the sensitive side of Billy the Kid, and complaints about women’s fashion in the roaring 20’s).
When presented with novice football questions, the standard Madrileño reacts in three possible ways. The first is “I don’t pay attention to football.” The next is a response may include rolling eyes, in restrained disdain, and I have a lot to say about this, but I can’t really be bothered to tell you about it at the moment. The final response, delivered with unnecessary fervor, is the defensive attitude of – how could you not know about that? In the end, all three of these hypothetical people will have ended up telling you more than you wanted to know about football, and they may even begrudgingly tell you which team they support. And, often, they will not like it if you mention FC Barcelona without including the English equivalent of shit, sucks or hate in the same sentence. But, as always, these types of generalizations are dangerous.
In Spanish football, there are confrontations and rivalries, identifications and animosities, nuances and background knowledge that would take me years to understand. Sometimes I suspect that I will never get what is really going on. And in the characteristic tolerance of the Spanish, the wide-eyed foreigner seems to be allowed a certain level of ignorance, and will invariably be allowed to support whatever team he or she thinks has the prettiest colors on the their jerseys.
But some things can be deduced from simple observation. FC Barcelona is based in the capital of Catalonia of the same name, and plays in a stadium that seats 99,354 people. The club motto is “Mes que un club,” or “More than a club.” Therein lies the beginning of the peculiarities, or, as some may label them, silly anachronistic preoccupations. With varying degrees of intensity, depending on the player and the fan in question, FC Barcelona has become a Catalonian institution, representing more than the sports teams that wear its crest. During the dictatorships of Rivera and Franco, smaller cultural identities in Spain were discouraged and oppressed. All languages beside Castillian, such as Basque and Catalán, were at best discouraged, at least in professional, educational and official contexts. For many who felt oppressed but also felt compelled to protest in some way, the Football Club of Barcelona, or Barça, was a safer institution to join and express regional pride than any full-blown anti-imperialist movement. Of course, the oppression has eased in Spain since the days of compulsory language use, but there is a particular tone that Cataláns seem to often make a point of setting (and the pendulum seems to have swayed as far in the opposite direction now, as Castillian is discouraged in universities, restaurant menus, and other official forums in Catalonia. But that is a topic that must be properly researched by a prolonged trip to Catalonia). There is a particular attitude. And there are small hints and symbolic gestures that are visible, even from a TV in a Madrid bar or a San Diego pub. The Barcelona team captain, Carles Puyol, wears a Catalán flag armband with his uniform, and he takes it off, waves it around and kisses it, when something good happens on the field. The armband that was worn in a previous match with Real Madrid was given away as a cherished souvenir on the team’s website. The captain position itself is generally reserved only for Catalán players. The team manager, Pep Guardiola, has a long history in both Catalonia and FC Barcelona. The FC Barcelona emblem itself is rich in meaning and history.
David Villa celebrates as Iker Casillas does not.
I do not identify with any notion of oppression, and I don’t speak Catalán. I live in Madrid, and my Spanish experience has, thus far, been framed in the context of this city. And I still find the whole rivalry a bit mystifying. While many of the players and staff of FC Barcelona have a strong connection to Catalán culture (Pep Guardiola, Puyol, Bojan…etc..), there are many key players on Barcelona’s side that are as Catalonian as my cat (and I don’t even have a cat). As in other sports, they seem to just play for their team and are suddenly rabid zealots for the uniform they wear. Or maybe they simply have chosen the team that offered to pay them the most, and the paycheck is their inspiration. The best I can do, having only been here for 7 months, is to characterize the rivalry as a two high-level sports teams that happen to be from places with a lot of political history with each other. Today, it seems that few people who I associate with will launch into a rant about Franco’s regime when asked “which team do you support?, so it is safe to cheer for FC Barcelona while living in Madrid without getting your ass kicked (as long as you don’t run through a Madrid bar waving a Barça scarf in people’s faces when Messi scores a goal).
One can be indifferent to team favorites, or claim ignorance to football in general, or hate the very idea of any sport, but it is not possible to be a fan of both of these teams. I have often supported Real Madrid in their previous matches with other teams for the mere reason that I want to see them to play Barcelona. The plain fact is that sometimes it is fun to watch high-level sports competition. And when my friends and I gather with beers to watch a highly anticipated game, I find that happy, sentimental feeling that I had when I’d sit down with my dad in the fall and watch the World Series. We would arbitrarily pick sides, and whatever our relationship at the time, through the adversity of adolescence, we could always talk with each other through the medium of baseball. Professional sports sometimes does expose, in my opinion, the latent, and ugly human propensity of taking sides, of behavior akin to nationalism, over-zealous patriotism and prejudice. But, as with many things in our lives, sometimes one just needs to relax and enjoy something without becoming a fanatic. Using a slightly adjusted slice of advice from my grandma, I only get drunk in moderation.
Today, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona play the first of four games against each other in just 18 days, a rare number of occurrences in such a short period of time. It’s like Mohammed Ali and George Foreman fighting 137 rounds, or five Super Bowls in a month. A feast for football fans. Since their first meeting in 1902, Real Madrid have won 85 times, and Barcelona have won 82 times. They have drawn 42 times. Real Madrid lost the last match 5 – 0, and they are probably really pissed off. But both teams have consistently demonstrated that they are two of the best in Europe. Neither of the two teams’ best players, Leo Messi for Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid, have scored a goal against the other. Both teams are fighting for a title in the Spanish King’s Cup, the Champions League and the Spanish League.
So, at the risk of betraying my Madrileño friends in my partiality, I have to choose, and I’ll be cheering and supporting with reserved fervor, for the team that I began supporting long before I came to Madrid. If you don’t hear from me at this time next week, call the police.
Go Barça!
2 thoughts on “Political Pelotas, Part 1: El Clásico
1. Ha! Yeah, I love tennis when Sharapova is playing, too. Yes, to be uninterested in football here you need to put some effort into it. I actually began to like Barcelona for reasons completely unrelated to sports, which kind of makes me an idiot. But I liked that they hadn’t (at the time) been whores for commercials and product placement, and that they were the only team without a corporate sponsor on their jerseys (AIG on Machester United was hilarious to me). And their coach strikes me as a real gentleman. Now, most people just suspect that I picked the best team that wins all the time.
They have, though, one of the best teams in recent football history (from what I hear).
2. Ohhhhhh, that’s a brave statement at the end! As a person who is avidly disinterested (if that’s possible) in football, I couldn’t care less who anyone supports, who wins, who loses as long as it’s done in the proper sporting spirit. That is something sadly lacking in a lot of football support in the UK – it causes a ludicrous number of fights, drunken outbursts and even deaths. While I was in Madrid, I remember being impressed with the way that the opposing fans could be just as passionate about their teams as those in the UK, but without the inherent violence. It was refreshing to see.
At least in Spain, people generally support the team from either their place of birth or place of residence whereas in the UK people seem to arbitrarily choose their team based on how good they are!!! That explains why there are thousands of Manchester United fans all over the country and the world who probably couldn’t place Manchester on a map, let alone claim any actual connection to the place.
Still, those in glass houses etc etc – I have a splendid tendency to pick my favourite tennis players based on how cute they are which explains my support for Nadal, David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez and Goran Ivanisevic. Not that any of them are exactly rubbish at tennis but show me a hot, fit guy in a cut off T-shirt and I’ll suddenly be cheering loudly for him. Shallow? Me?

John Wan Jirou is a dog and a boss in the Boss Rush stage of Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius ( arcade version). It starts the fight in a dog house and attacks like Big Core in other versions. Once enough damage is done, the house blows off and John him self is exposed. In this state, he stops every time he is hit to scream, "Ai-yee!", making him easier to beat. Eventually the player does enough damage and John falls, allowing the player to move on to Fighting Penclaw.

please tell me i'm correct..
i got maths paper 2moro..if i dun get this.. so sad la.lol
tangsueean♥ said...
rawrrr!! dont want guess adi dont want count adi!!
wait for your answer better :P
Caryn said...
gosh yi wah.where ru???lol
waiting for ur answer..
i'm correct..rite? = P
tangsueean♥ said...
lol eunice please let caryn's answer be correct and end caryn ad my agony of waiting!! haha :P wahaha
Eunice said...
haha..so funny la both of you..lol..! i was in class so impossible i was here..
caryn, no driver la..oni 7 girls on the bus..and nope, dat's not the answer...still far from the answer..hehe...try again??
lost sheep oh lost sheep..haha..how can u give up so fast?? read line by line and count slowly...sure can get 1 leh..i can so why cant u?haha
wow..i tink the comments on this post break record already!! hehe
jnwk said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
jnwk said...
ok, read the question wrongly. The answer should be 10990.
correct? :>
tangsueean♥ said...
7girls = 14 legs
7 big cats =28 legs
7x7small cats= 49small cats = 196 legs
total legs = 14+28+196 = 238 legs!!
eeyer tell la i really give up liao :(
unless there was no little cats, cause either the cats are male or kittens havent born out yet..lol in that case the number of legs would be 14+28=42..which is not the answer either..ish lost sheep sis faster tell!!!
tangsueean♥ said...
tangsueean♥ said...
=__= eunice lee yi wah..why i so dumb wan?
Eunice said...
haha..yeah..!! the answer has been revealed..lol..it's 10990..hehe..
bravo jnwk!!! haha. dunno bout ur equation thingy..too lazy to check..final answer's more important..no reward too bad..hehe..
sue ean did u actually get it urself or u saw the answer adi ?haha..u're not dumb la...u just didnt read the question properly..hehe..interesting?? gd try anyway..haha..i got 238 before also...shows it's normal..haha..
Caryn said...
i use the same method wert....
lazy to count d la..
tsk tsk
Eunice said...
haha..why la caryn sounds so dissatisfied??haha..kk..elt me show u..gd ting i still have the so called working..haha
girls = 14 legs
7 bags X 7 girls = 49 bags
49 bags X 7 big cats = 343 big cats
343 X 4 = 1372 legs
big cat = 1372 legs
343 big cats X 7 = 2401 small cats
2401 X 4 = 9604
small cat = 9604 legs
total : 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990
get it?hehe..
tangsueean♥ said...
lol i saw a very much bigger answer so i read again, then i count again then i post the answer only see the answer is the same haha wei i so not observant laa and so dumb
Eunice said...
haha..u're not dumb la...it's normal..it's tricky in a way maybe?..u gave up fast only..haha..not that i got the asnwer so fast also..anyway, u still managed to work it out!! hehe.. so, gd job lost sheep!!
pismayka said...
lol haha. oh n btw, da sentence '1 big cat has 7 lil cats' really makes it sound like each big cat's pregnant with 7 lil kitties.
n cekap man u all can get da answer. haha. oh btw, hu's jnwk? izit joyce ar?
Eunice said...
err..1 big cat has 7 lil kitties? i tot it mmg mean pregnant with 7 kitties??haha..jz dat we count the legs of the cats inside..haha..
no la..jnwk another fren.. not joyce..joyce sesat case 1..post on cbox..haha.. dun let her c dis..but nvm if she does..haha

What is cryptography?
Cryptography is the study of writing and reading information in such a way that it is encrypted, and unreadable to anyone other than the sender or receiver. Within the context of computer science and particularly the internet, cryptography has many vital applications. These include the ability to password-protect files on disk – relevant just as much to an individual business keeping sensitive records private as to multi-million dollar industries. For example, the music, film and videogame industries rely heavily on encryption, as the production companies that make the media want to ensure it’s only accessible on certain devices or after a certain date (commonly known as DRM – Digital Rights Management). In Internet transactions – such as shopping, online banking, or even logging into a site with a password – encryption guarantees that no server sitting between a server and a receiver can read sensitive information thus compromising the peoples’ accounts or password details.
But encryption algorithms are only secure if they’re implemented correctly. To help you understand how to do so, we’re going to look into some examples and concepts below. However, don’t forget that our expert tutors on 24houranswers are ready and able to dive into the specifics of any of these algorithms – and more besides – to help resolve your homework assignment questions or simply better understand the field of cryptography.
Basics of cryptography (Caesar cipher, Enigma machine)
The first encryption algorithm most people encounter when studying is also the simplest, and one of the oldest known. Named after the Roman general and emperor Julius Caesar, who used it for his private letters, the Caesar cipher works by substituting each letter in a message with another letter a fixed number of places down in the alphabet. For example, if we use a shift value of 4, the letter A would become the letter E; B would become F; and so on. When a receiver gets this message, assuming they have the correct shift value, they can reverse this by shifting backwards in the alphabet (E -> A, F-> B, etc).
In a modern context this is far too simple an encryption schema to break, to the point that it essentially offers no security. The reason for this is that it relies on a single substitution rule for all letters in the alphabet; this means that even if you don’t know the shift value, you could find patterns in the letters that help you work out what the original message is. For instance, consider the word ‘LOOK’. No matter what shift value we have, the middle two letters will be the same, and the first and last letter will only be one away from each other. Once an attacker finds a pattern like this which can only translate to a few words (as an identical double letter in English 4 letter word is most likely to be O), they can compute the shift value and solve the cipher. With computers, decrypting all 25 possible variations on the original is even more trivial, and one can easily scan the outputs to see the correct decryption.
But Caesar’s cipher (also called a shift cipher) is still useful today when it forms part of a bigger encryption algorithm. A further interesting aspect to it is that if the shift value is 13, both encryption and decryption use the same method – shift down the alphabet 13 times (looping back from Z to A at the end); or, in mathematical terms, that x = f(f(x)). In a number of computing contexts, you will see this referred to as ‘ROT-13’ (i.e. Rotation by 13).
One of the pivotal moments in history relating to encryption came during the Second World War, when the German forces developed an encryption machine known as ‘Enigma.’ At the time, the Enigma machine represented the pinnacle of cryptographic science, but it had its roots in the humble Caesar cipher.

Where a Caesar cipher falls down is that for the duration of a message, every letter in the encrypted message will always mean the same letter in the decrypted message. Thus, if you shift by 1, even if you translate the entirety of Moby Dick, every instance of ‘B’ will mean ‘A’. Where the Enigma machine succeeded was that (by a series of rotors) every time an operator input a letter, the encryption schema would change. Thus, if the letter A was pressed 4 times in a row, it would be transcribed as a different output letter each time. Furthermore, operators carried a codebook containing a list of initial-state transcriptions for each day, and so the encryption schema used would change every 24 hours. This meant that if by some chance the Allied powers cracked the schema on any given day, they’d have to begin again from scratch the next day. When you combine the volume of intercepted messages (by radio, for instance) with the fact that codebreaking had to take place within a 24 hour window, it’s easy to see why this was an impossible task. Given the fact an enigma machine had 3 rotor slots, and 5 possible rotors, and each rotor could be installed in any one of 26 positions, there were 60 possible rotor configurations (5 x 4 x 3 = 60) and 17,576 initial starting positions for the rotors (26^3 = 17,576). Massive additional complexity came from a plugboard, that enabled different letters to be paired; the plugboard allowed 10 pairs of letters to be selected, which out of a standard alphabet resulted in over 150 billion combinations. When these numbers get multiplied together, one is left with over 158 quintillion possible encryption schemas. Yet, despite this inconceivable set of possibilities, it was possible to crack the Enigma code. thanks to the work of Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman, and their Bombe machine. The pair exploited a number of flaws in Enigma’s design; for instance, no letter would ever have the same encrypted value as decrypted (e.g., if the encrypted message started with an A, the decrypted message couldn’t also start with an A). Turing’s Bombe machine worked by simulating 36 Enigma machines running at once, and were able to solve any Enigma encoded message in under 20 minutes. Given that this was possible in the 1940s, and computational capacity has increased exponentially in the intervening years, just how is it possible we have effective encryption algorithms today?
Factorisation and public key cryptography
Modern cryptographic algorithms rely heavily on the factorisation of extremely large numbers. This mathematical topic is complex in and of itself, but our tutors at 24 Hour Answers can help explain this or other mathematical/computer science concepts if you’re encountering difficulty. Whether you’re trying to get to grips with how early cryptographic and mathematical principles allowed the Enigma machine to function, or understand modern methods and how they apply to situations such as blockchain and cryptocurrency, our expert advisors can give step-by-step breakdowns of the processes involved and help you get up to speed with the latest in cryptographic research. To give you a basic understanding of the topic however, let’s look at what factorisation means in practical terms.
One way to resolve the weaknesses of systems like Enigma, or the Caesar cipher, is to utilise asymmetric cryptography. Commonly known as public-key cryptography, this schema of cryptography relies on algorithms that produce “one-way” functions. An example of a one-way function is the modulo operator (%). Children are introduced to this concept early on in life, when they learn division, but probably don’t get to appreciate the power of it. The modulo operator is built into programming languages and calculates the remainder of a division operation. For example, given the equation 5 % 3 (5 modulo 3), we divide 5 by 3 and receive a result of 1. The modulo operator, returning the remainder (the numerator of the fraction), gives us a value of 2. Thus, 5 % 3 = 2. If you’re wondering why this function is one way, try and work out X in the equation X % 3 = 2. Sure, 5 is valid, but so is 2, 8, 11… Thus, a one-way function is one where it’s impossible to know the inputs, even when you know the answer.
This is an especially useful concept in the RSA algorithm, one of the backbone encryption algorithms in the world. The algorithm starts by generating keys, which involves choosing a pair of large prime numbers (p, q) and calculating their modulus (p%q). This is the input to a set of equations that result in a public key and a private key. The private key is kept secret, and the public key can be shared with anybody else. When a message is sent from user Alice to user Bob, Alice encrypts the message with Bob’s public key. However, because of the process used to generate the two keys, the message can only be decrypted with Bob’s private key (unlike a Caesar cipher, re-applying the encryption function doesn’t decrypt the message). Because Bob is the only person that knows the private key, it doesn’t matter that the message and Bob’s public key are available to the world or any attackers. The only thing that will decrypt the message from Alice is Bob’s private key, which he kept secret. However, since he can freely publish his public key to anybody, any user is able to send Bob a message that only he can read. The efficacy of this process is further increased when you consider that Alice could encrypt the message with her private key, which would only be decrypted by her public key; thus, Bob can also guarantee the message was sent by Alice, because it only makes sense when he decrypts the message a second time using her public key. This means that only Alice and Bob can send messages that make sense, and additionally they can trust the messages come from each other, and not a third-party spoofing either of their credentials.
If you would like to understand more about asymmetric cryptography and the RSA algorithm, you will find 24HourAnswers tutors ready to help you, regardless of your level of comfort with the underlying mathematics or the programmatic implementation of the algorithm. Our experts are waiting to help answer any question you have, whether you’re solving encryption related college assignments or trying to appreciate the underlying fundamentals.
Unfortunately though, this isn’t the end of the story…
Post-quantum cryptography
The strength of an algorithm like RSA lies in the difficulty of factorising two large primes – i.e. given p%q, what are the original values of p and q? In a traditional computing setting, calculating this isn’t feasible; merely computing sufficiently large prime numbers takes a good deal of processing power, and given the one-way nature of the function, calculating the original pair of primes is exponentially more difficult.
However, these traditional algorithms and computing methods are teetering on the edge of obsolescence. Quantum computing and algorithms rely on a model that replaces the traditional bit (a 1 or a 0) with a qubit (or quantum bit). Even the fundamentals of quantum computing are beyond the scope of this article, but a qubit represents the statistical output of a bit (i.e. the superposition of 1 and 0). Whilst one bit can be fully encoded in one qubit, a qubit is capable of holding far more information by virtue of the fact it describes a probabilistic function. When applied to the field of cryptography, the ability to describe any number of possible states using only a single bit means that guessing an RSA-2048 private key on a 4099 qubit quantum computer would take a mere 10 seconds, compared to 300 trillion years on a traditional computer. This means that every previously recorded transaction, communication, or hacked databased could suddenly be exposed as soon as a sufficiently powerful quantum computer is available. Given the looming threat of this technology, how can we ever protect our data?
The future of the field lies in post-quantum cryptography. This field of research is a particularly exciting and interesting one in which to get involved. For starters, any encryption algorithm used would have to work with existing Internet protocols (like transport layer security – TLS) to be useful. The system must also be performant enough that it works in the same context, and it can’t involve such large quantities of data that encrypting traffic is too slow and expensive. That’s before even considering that the system itself must be secure! To top it all, because it’s impossible to predict exactly when quantum computers will be widespread and powerful enough to break existing encryption methods, there is a looming unknown deadline, meaning the system needs to be developed quickly. Such quantum-proof encryption is an interesting enough problem that it has captivated some of the leading minds in computer science, and it’s not hard to see why! If you would like to join them, you’ll be at the start of a long, theoretical, and mathematically demanding journey. But by the end of it, you’ll be working on some of the most vital problems in the field of computer science.

Who's to Blame for Chavez?
Me on Tomorrow's Real Polit... Rizzo vs. Thaler on Libertaria...
Kevin Grier, guest blogging on Marginal Revolution, makes an argument calculated to offend:
In 1957, Venezuela's GDP per capita was 51% of the US, in 2003 it stood at 18.5% of the US. Existing institutions had no credibility with a very large portion of the population and simply could not continue to exist as they had.
I am just saying that Venezuela was run into the ground by its ruling class and Chavez is the (I hope only temporary) result of their short sighted, poor governance.
Of course, I'm not offended, but I do have a question: What would have happened if Venezuelan elites had tried to pursue a pro-growth agenda during the post-war pre-Chavez era?
I suspect, though I'm open to correction by experts in the region, that leaders who tried to pursue significantly better policies would have fallen from power one way or another.
If I'm right, Venezuelan policy was bad in the past for the same reason it's really bad now: In Venezuela, bad policy is good politics because it's popular. So perhaps Grier should think twice before telling Venezuelan elites "you have only yourselves to blame" - and think about offering them sanctuary in the U.S. instead.
Cuban exiles have put Castro's Cuba to shame; let's give Venezuelans the same opportunity.

But would letting Venezuelan elites emigrate and thrive in the USA help the poor in Venezuela?

His statistics only go back to 1950. But most Latin American countries had GDP per capita even higher relative to the US in the immediate pre- and post-WWI periods. Many of them went towards socialism, populism, protectionism, and caudilloism during that period, and suffered.
So it's all come around before. There's no evidence nor sense of advancement to me, no indication that this time things will be different.
Steve Sailer writes:
So, let's let more of these irrational Latin American voters into our country to vote!
B Jordan writes:
Lately there have been reports Latin American countries will band together to form a bank to act as a suplement to the World Bank, and the IMF. Venezuela wants to use this to sever all ties with these international institutions, ultimately leading to default. How will default help the Venezuelan economy? Forget about increasing standard of living. Could they maintain current standards without the capacity to borrow? While oil prices are high Chavez can ignore the world. However, Venezuelan oil trades at a discount because of high suffer content, resulting in a ten dollar per barrel differential to the market. What will happen when Venezuelans decide that they are tired of the road Chavez is leading them down, especially when they see the success that Lula has in Brazil with his reforms? Will Chavez just go away? Or will Venezuela turn into Nigeria?
Horatio writes:
Chavez is driving away the type of people you want as your fellow citizens, educated conservatives. I knew several Venezuelans in Florida and they all had or were in the process of obtaining advanced degrees. They also seemed to lean towards the paleoconservative side of politics. What is bad for Venezuela's elite is good for America's Republicans.
John writes:
you touch on an important notion that you have discussed in the past on irrationality and economics:
"bad policy is good politics because it's popular"
That's not just in Venezuela but everywhere. Economically ignorant emotion is the number one enemy of economic progress. The culprit of economic problems that drive ill-conceived, yet popular, solutions is often (well almost always) not easy to spot. This failure to orient oneself in a proper position to judge why we got here and where to go is the result of economic illiteracy and the driver of destructive populism that sneers at economic principle.
kevin grier writes:
Bryan: Why in the world would you say my post was "calculated to offend"? In all honesty I find that labeling offensive.
As to your counter-factual, as I pointed out in my post, Brazil was poorer than Venezuela in the 1950s and now is richer and so far no Chavez. Mexico also.
I'd like to ask you exactly what countries with strong economic growth in the postwar period have had populist revolutions and put in constituent assemblies to re-write the constitution?
Its a pretty common finding in the empirical literature that regime length and stability is related to economic performance.
None of this says that bad policy isn't often popular all around the world, but there is a big difference between that and the claim you seem to be making, that economic growth doesn't help incumbent regimes' popularity or stability.
Maynard Handley writes:
You should consider South Africa as a very similar example. Make of that what you will. South Africa's growth, after being substantial in the 60's, has been flat for the last 35 years. (And makes an interesting contrast to the sustained growth of Botswana during that same period.)

Increased blood flow during sleep tied to critical brain function
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain
Our brains experience significant changes in blood flow and neural activity during sleep, according to Penn State researchers. Such changes may help to clean out metabolic brain waste that builds up during the day.
"We studied the sleep patterns of mice during both rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement sleep stages, as well as in different alertness states," said Patrick Drew, Huck Distinguished Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering.
Mice were chosen for the study because of their brains' remarkable similarity with , said the researchers.
In both mice and humans, non-REM sleep is the first stage of sleep that occurs when a person falls to sleep for about the first hour or two, according to Drew, while REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements and vivid dreams.
During the different sleep and alertness states, the researchers monitored the , blood vessel dilation, electromyography activity and whisker and body movements of the mice.
Mice move their whiskers during (REM) sleep instead of moving their eyes, and also sleep with their eyelids open.
"The mice naturally fall asleep very quickly even while their heads were restrained to allow for neural imaging," Drew said. "We used machine learning algorithms to continually monitor the sleep stages the animals were in, and also when they were awake, as they greatly impact fluctuations."
Using optical imaging and two-photon microscopy, report in eLIfe that the researchers found that arterioles, or small branches of arteries, were more much more dilated when the mice were in non-REM sleep than when they were awake. During REM sleep, the dilation was even larger than during non-REM sleep.
Such blood flow changes indicate the brain is healthy, according to Drew.
"The dilated blood vessels and increased blood flow may help the brain move waste products out of the brain," he said.
This is why disrupted sleep is associated with diseases that afflict the brain, such as Alzheimer's and dementia.
"The working hypothesis is that with diseases affecting the brain, the body fails to clear the neural waste fluid due to lack of sleep," Drew said. "And decreases in may often proceed degenerative brain illnesses."
Further, insomnia could negatively contribute to mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, as the brain is unable to clear out the waste fluid when is disrupted for an extended period of time.
"The knowledge of brain processes gained through this study is basic, but it could be applied to a number of clinical studies in the future," Drew said.

Buddhist nationalism behind Sri Lanka's violent surge
The monks have used their new clout to urge the president, Mahinda Rajapakse, to honor the vow with which he came to power in late 2005: to destroy the Tigers.
The Tamil desire for a homeland is just an excuse for violence, says Mr. Rathana. "Sri Lanka was totally a Sinhalese kingdom and most people accept that."
Western governments have long been appalled by the tactics of the Tamil Tigers, who terrorize both Sinhalese and Tamils with their bombings and the forcible recruitment of child soldiers.
Now, several governments have expressed horror over independent reports of government collusion in abductions and murders of civilian Tamils, particularly in the north and east.
Earlier this month, the government rounded up more than 350 Tamils in Colombo and transported them by bus to the north and east – a move human rights groups described as a "pogrom." Sri Lanka's Supreme Court intervened to halt the evictions soon after they began.
This was a "minor example," says Jehan Perera, executive director of the National Peace Council of Sri Lanka, a group working for reconciliation. Throughout Sri Lanka, Tamils felt insecure and vulnerable, says Mr. Perera, who is Sinhalese.
On the Jaffna Peninsula alone, the only part of the Tamil-majority north controlled by government forces, more than 300 civilians have been murdered in the past 18 months; many of them, it is suspected, by a paramilitary force with close ties to the military intelligence agency.
Both Sinhalese and Tamils trace their presence in Sri Lanka back centuries. Until relatively recently, theirs was a harmonious coexistence.
But in the 19th century, many Buddhist Sinhalese felt that the British, who then ruled Ceylon, gave the Tamils preferential treatment. At independence in 1948, a disproportionate number of civil servants were Tamils.
In 1956, the Sinhalese made swift and brutal amends. Prime Minister Solomon Bandaranaike, an ardent Buddhist nationalist, launched a successful campaign to make Sinhalese the official language.
He was heavily backed by the island's monks in a move that excluded many Tamils from educational opportunities and prestigious jobs. In 1970, university admission rules were changed to favor the Sinhalese.

Your Lawyer Is Funnier Than You
Honestly, I’m not sure what’s worse here. Allison Voner shooting a video of herself near a courthouse using cocaine and heroin, illegally driving a car and ranting about her probation officer, her putting that video on Facebook for everyone to see including the aforementioned probation officer or her lawyer saying with a straight face that the judge should go easy on her because she did it all for the giggles.
Voner’s defence lawyer John Daly Jr. tried to explain away the video as being a joke.
“She frequently Facebooks out entertaining videos,” he argued. “It was meant as an entertaining video only. It was comedy.”
If Voner was a police officer, a stupid argument like that might have worked. But as a regular citizen, she ended up getting what she deserved in return for her efforts to entertain. Her probation was revoked, she was held on $5000 bail in relation to a different possession of heroin case, held without bail in a credit card fraud matter and also held on a warrant that was issued by another court for charges that weren’t specified.

"A Bunch of White Dudes in Shanghai Playing Rock Music, Although There is One Asian Guy, But He's Probably ABC or CBC". Sounds... Intriguing, huh?
We asked Josh G of Stegosaurus? to fill in the blanks...
So MAO has these semi-regular gigs where it's only laowai bands on a given night. This is the third one and boy does it look like a whites only party! Kidding. There's at least one ABC or CBC in one of the bands. This is no KKK meeting though. Each band will perform their own blend of rock, rock and more rock. Each band is not identical though. Some bands' average height is a lot taller than another's average height. Some bands consist of more members than others. Some might use different effect pedals than another. Yes, even though we all look the same, we are different. We are individuals. We are human.
So, come on down to MAO on Saturday at 8pm to see a bunch of white monkeys dancing around and banging on stuff, just for you. Should be entertaining at the least. Here's a rundown of the schedule:
20:00-20:30 Stegosaurus? (Jurassic puke rock)
20:45-21:15 Parts&Labour (rhythm heavy rock and/or roll)
21:30-22:00 Friend or Foe (heavy, funky and entertaining dudes)
22:15-22:45 Spondees (also funky, slick rock)
23:00-23:30 Limousine (fun, punchy rock)

Who Are The Moors
Who Are The Moors:
Explore the Truth about when Black Men Ruled the World
Many historians have said the Moors were the group that brought the Western world out of the Dark Ages – making a significant impact on the current day world. In English usage, the term usually refers to a Moroccan or, formerly, a member of the population of what is now Spain and Portugal. Any study of the history of Spain during Roman times, from 711 to 1472, must begin with an understanding of the Moorish people. This era is sometimes referred to as the time of the Moors. What is clear beyond a doubt is that you can’t dig deep into the history of Europe without uncovering the Moorish people. And, when you follow the historical references, it is crystal clear that the mighty men who ruled the world in ancient times were, unmistakably, Black men, or Africans.
Ancient Travel Before Columbus
Research the History
Do the research yourself. Start with the links below and follow them where they lead. Your mind will literally be blown. Uncover the real history of these mighty Black Men who once ruled the World. Are these men, the Moors? The video above makes one claim. However, the videos below point to something else entirely. You decide. Do some research yourself. Worth exploring are books about Spain prior to 700 A.D. There is considerable evidence of an African presence in Spain pre-Columbus.
The geography makes sense because Spain is directly across from the Gibraltar Straits, on the other side of which is, North Africa. The Strait of Gibraltar, also well-known as the Straits of Gibraltar, is a narrow body of water that joins the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and divides the Iberian Peninsula in Europe from Morocco in Africa. In ancient times, there was also a section of Spain known as Iberian Ethiopia. In fact, it is known in European history that Ethiopia sent delegations to the Iberian peninsula. African kingdoms were known, in pre-Columbian times, to send diplomatic delegations to Europe, in general, and Spain, in particular.
Who Are The Moors
Dom Matheo, Ambassador From Benin To France
Despite the racism of today which would have you believe that Black people are inferior to white people, European history and culture tell the true story. One of the most popular mentions is in Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice. The Europeans of the Middle Ages used the term to refer to the Muslim people in Spain.
