Holux M-1000C can't chang GPGSA & GPGSV frequency
Holux M-1000C and Holux GPSport 245
Holux decided to break compatibility with the Holux M-241 and they implemented for fairly mysterious reasons a slightly different log format and new commands in their serial protocol, while not supporting some of the Holux M-241 commands.
BT747 has improved support for these devices now (1.68.24+). To properly decode the log files, you need to set the device type to 'Holux GR245' (next to the convert button).
The serial protocol is under implementation by 'Robert'. Due to the extensive changes this protocol will be available in 2.X versions only. In the mean time, most of the commands continue to work. It may be that the reliability of the standard erase command is not very good for the Holux M-1000C, but it still works and may require a power cycle to connect with BT747 again.
For a description in French of the Holux GPSport 245, see xens's page.

Holux M-1000C problems
I am using the autoupdate development version of bt747 (great software, thanks!) with my recently bought Holux M-1000C AXN_1.0-B_1.3_C01 (01029-00A)
I have the following problems:
(1) When downloading the binary log, Altitude and Speed get misreported. It seems that Altitude is reported as Speed (the values here make sense), not sure what happens to the real Speed (the table shows fractions in the range 1.234E-41 - 1.234E-43),

Черты национального характера (Points of national character)
Class system in Great Britain
Some things about Britain make sense only to the British. The one of the most widespread stereotypes about Great Britain is about class system. It says that there are three divisions in Britain with some “in between” variations: upper, middle and lower (working) class, and British people are very conscious of class differences. The different classes in Great Britain tend to it different food at different time of the day, they like to talk about different topics, they enjoy different sports and have different ideas about the correct way to behave. The easiest way to guess the class to which the person belongs to is to listen to the way he or she speaks. It can be expressed in person’s accent or vocabulary. There is also a big problem to move from one class to another because of previous labels. The class division isn’t connected with financial state of a person.
English people are crazy about their animals
Britain is a nation of animal lovers. They have about five million dogs, almost as many cats, 3 million parrots and other cage birds, aquarium fish - and 1 million exotic pets such as reptiles. In Britain they have special dog shops selling food, clothes and other things for dogs. There are dog hair-dressing saloons and dog cemeteries. In Britain pets can send Christmas cards to their friends, birthday cards. Owners can buy for their pets jeweled nylon collars, lambs wool coat for a dog, lace-trimmed panties, nightgowns, pajamas, and so on. There are special animal hotels at the airports. The English people believe that they are the only nation on the earth that is really kind to its animals. English people buy pets only for the company. They it vital at least because only with four-footed house favorites at most of Englishman develop the most sincere gentle relations of what only representatives of this nation in general are capable, is far not always able normally to communicate with each other. Englishmen perfectly find the general language with animals though at times they not in a condition to find common language with own children. The best places the cosiest and warm corners, perfect pieces – all is given to pets, as the by itself understood. British spend about 1, 7 billion pounds sterling a year for food for the pupils. Pets can do everything what they want in home, when children, most likely, will be severely punished, if their tricks notice. Animals initially would be considered incapable on what that there was a bad act. So, when the dog bites the person the person, even if it only the passer-by is guilty always. And if it even is absolutely brutally bitten, associates will be on the party of the owner of a dog. Cruel treatment with animals causes disgust in Englishmen. In England there are huge populations of birds and wild animals which are preserved by the state and people. On charitable money numerous shelters for dogs and cats are opened, them collect everywhere and grant them a refuge, feed and cherish them. This stereotype about English people exists many years. And there is nobody not a secret that Englishmen very much love animal, together with wild animals. Tourists when come to England at once notice the relation of Englishmen to animals.
Englishman is always polite
There are common opinion that Englishman is asolutly polite and calm in any situation. You have never heard rudes from them. It is in gen of this nation.Bisides, often their polite is false, artifical. This isn't against fact before, but his annoying, rude, anger can be notice in their families.

Construction & industry, the concrete alliance of the digital twin
“At the frontiers of reality”, such was for a long time the topic of science fiction novels which, by dint of stories, tended to dissolve the frontiers between two worlds that were once perfectly dissociated: that of sensory reality and that of digital virtuality. These stories anticipated the interpenetration of these two worlds and thus opened up new horizons and new frontiers. Today, reality has joined anticipation: the virtual serves as a gateway to reality thanks to digital twins, also known as the digital twin.
Used for decades by NASA to monitor its missions in space, understand, diagnose and correct faults in a machine remotely, this concept has since taken its place in most sectors. The opportunities it offers are indeed considerable, particularly in the field of industry. Be careful though, the integration of a digital twin is above all a collaborative project of digital transformation.
Beyond BIM, the digital twin
In the era of digital transformation, buildings are connected and communicating. BIM (Building Information Modeling) embodies the “vital map” of the entire structure. However, it is no longer enough: this 3D cartography, a virtual representation of reality, will only be able to see its intelligence, or even its digital expression, evolve by adopting the concept of digital twin. It is the one through which data flows pass between real space and virtual space, in a reciprocal exchange of information.
It is a digital and systemic model of an object or a process which makes it possible to reach, aggregate and synchronize all the data related to its needs, its behavior, without having to systematically access the physical model. Its adoption, thanks to a set of sensors linking the different equipment to their 3D representation, makes it possible to reduce costs, monitor the production chain, optimize the maintenance and performance of a service or product, deal with possible material failures and, above all, to innovate. The added value compared to traditional processes is beyond measure, especially since once connected to a physical system, the digital twin will be so throughout its life cycle, thus committing ever more hardware and software reliability. .
Construction and industry, born under the sign of the twin
If the creation of a model is an essential step in the design of a building or its optimization, it is not sufficient without a valuable layer of analytics. Therefore, it appears that by converging with those related to the production chain, the specific data related to the building will make it possible to optimize the entire ecosystem of a factory as a whole. Just as the intersection of IT and OT is now an essential prerequisite for seizing the opportunities linked to Industry 4.0, having building data collaborate and interact with that of the production chain is now a must.
To achieve this, it was necessary to take full measure of what, once established and admitted, seems obvious: the design of the construction of a plant is inseparable from that of its operation. The problems are the same, only the notions of scale differ. The digital twin is the preferred instrument for this fundamental convergence of Industry 4.0. That dedicated to the building will therefore make it possible to think about the construction, to optimize the behavior of the building in the near future, by selecting the appropriate materials and configurations or by proposing modular spaces from the start.
The industrial digital twin will take into consideration all the data related to the container, but, in a global vision, it will necessarily have to go down to a detailed level, to its smallest contents, in other words, its machines and what they can produce.
These are therefore no longer two worlds which evolve in parallel, or even ignore each other – architecture and building techniques, on the one hand, industrial engineering, on the other – but two skills which now integrate their differences into a mix of intelligence that produces all-round optimization and economy. Thanks to the digital twin, there is once again an impermeability linked to the now outdated functioning in silos which is being erased in favor of a greater openness which offers new frontiers, new horizons.
The digital twin, an inexhaustible source of innovation
So in concrete terms, how does this building digital twin/industrialized digital twin work together? Let’s take a simple example: that of industrial ducts. Omnipresent and predominant in the world of building, it is enough that some are identified on the site, but not necessarily on the plans for an extension project to fall through. This type of problem, which at first seems like a detail, ultimately represents a waste of time and money. Converging the data of these two twins makes it possible to get out of these spaces with unstructured representations and to deliver at a given moment a global vision of the factory.
However, this is only a small part of the opportunities offered by the digital twin. Beyond a perfectly rationalized use of space, it can be used to simulate the installation of an automaton, a production line. It captures the state of production, the machine and its various consumables in real time, and thus optimizes maintenance operations. He is able to make correlations between the performance of two industrial units with similar activities, and to understand the differences in performance. It can even underline certain potentially harmful interferences with the operation of the automatons as a whole.
The digital twin is therefore a valuable tool for anticipation, simulation, decision-making, and also for integration. It is possible to add maintenance data, technical data sheets or data sheets on different components at any time: quick and simplified access to information for the maintenance manager who will be all the more efficient. Another possible scenario: train new employees, using virtual reality, in maintenance operations without them necessarily being on site. Building and production line are now linked by increasingly detailed integration relationships.
For manufacturers of connected objects, the concept of the digital twin is an inexhaustible source of innovation, both in the objects themselves and in the services associated with them. They can show an almost limitless imagination. It remains for the engineering services to let themselves be carried away, and not to restrain themselves.
The digital twin is a concept accessible to all, and all the more judicious for old factories, old buildings which suffer from structural constraints. It federates all the dedicated services in a collaborative spirit to make it possible to get out of these constraints with accuracy and performance by anticipating the future. To adopt it is to show common sense.

Hawaii tourists in parasailing accident
HONOLULU, Hawaii (eTN) – Two male tourists were on their way back to Kewalo Basin yesterday (Sunday, January 29, 2012) on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, tandem gliding in the air on an X-Treme Parasail, when something came loose and the sail disconnected from the boat. The two men fell into the water and were then dragged about a thousand feet before they could be rescued.
It was the crew from another parasailing company, Hawaiian Parasail, who was able to aid in their rescue. According to a spokesperson for Hawaiian Parasail, they had seen the parachute disconnect. They landed their own customer, and then went to help.
According to Coast Guard officials, both men are from Palm Springs, California. Their names have not yet been released, however, the younger male, 52, has since been released from the hospital; the 66-year-old remains in critical condition.
X-Treme Parasail has yet to release any comments.

You may feel a number of things immediately after a death.
Shock: It may take you a long time to grasp what has happened. The shock can make you numb, and some people at first carry on as if nothing has happened. It is hard to believe that someone important is not coming back. Many people feel disorientated – as if they have lost their place and purpose in life or are living in a different world.
Pain: Feelings of pain and distress following bereavement can be overwhelming and very frightening.
Anger: Sometimes bereaved people can feel angry. This anger is a completely natural emotion, typical of the grieving process. Death can seem cruel and unfair, especially when you feel someone has died before their time or when you had plans for the future together. We may also feel angry towards the person who has died, or angry at ourselves for things we did or didn’t do or say to the person before their death.
Guilt: Guilt is another common reaction. People who have been bereaved of someone close often say they feel directly or indirectly to blame for the person’s death. You may also feel guilt if you had a difficult or confusing relationship with the person who has died, or if you feel you didn’t do enough to help them when they were alive.
Longing: Thinking you are hearing or seeing someone who has died is a common experience and can happen when you least expect it. You may find that you can’t stop thinking about the events leading up to the death. “Seeing” the person who has died and hearing their voice can happen because the brain is trying to process the death and acknowledge the finality of it.
Other people’s reactions: One of the hardest things to face when we are bereaved is the way other people react to us. They often do not know what to say or how to respond to our loss. Because they don’t know what to say or are worried about saying the wrong thing, people can avoid those who have lost someone. This is hard for us because we may well want to talk about the person who has died. It can become especially hard as time goes on and other people’s memories of the person who has died fade.

Nils have just finished reading a book about pirates to Pferd, Finchen and Rumpel. Everyone, except Rumpel, agree that it was a good book and that it must have been great to be a pirate. Nils says that there were treasures for everyone, Pferd think that treasures sounds delicious.
Nils tells Pferd that treasures were not somethng you could eat, it was gold and silver. Pferd are sure that there were treasures that you could eat, and he starts to tell a story.
Four pirates are on a small ship captain Rumpel by the helm, pirate Finchen at the lookout post, pirate Nils scrubbing the deck and pirate Pferd as the cook. They are currently stranded out on the sea with no wind in the sails. Pferd are fishing hoping to catch some carrots, since they have run out of food, however instead he catches a bottle containing a treasure map. Shortly after the wiond returns and they quickly set sail towards the island on the map.
As they arrive to the island everyone disembark, expect captain Rumpel, so they can find the treasure. As they walk through the jungle they encounter a spider who tells them to seek out the skeleton.
They arrive at a cave, with a skeleton of a former pirate outside. However pirate Nils courage are failing him, he are scared to go inside, only when Finchen asks him if he want to uncover a treasure and be rich or if he would rather clean the deck for the rest of his life, he enters the cave. Nils bumps into something in the dark, it turns out to be the treasure chest, and they quickly gurry back to the ship.
Pirate Nils are convinced that the chest contains a lot of gold and jewels since it was very heavy to carry. Captain Rumpel cracks the lock open by using a coconut, its a old oirate trick as he says. They open the chest and discovers that it's full of carrots. Nils and Finchen are disappointed, Pferd are very pleased with the treasure, and Captain Rumpel orders Nils back on the ship to scrub the deck.
Back on Sesamstrasse Pferd ends his story, he knocks down his cup and Rumpel orders him to scrub the deck.
Bert and Ernie are laughing at what they just saw down on the street. Ernie then asks Bert if he knows what are pirates favorite food, he dose not know it and Ernie says that it is carp.
Kids talks about pirates.
(EKA: Folge 2335)
Bert introduce a new song from "Die Grosse Sesamstrassen-Musikshow". A green wolf and pirate captian Wolle, sings a song about why they prefer a treasure of carrots to a treasure of gold and silver. In the meantime Ernie tries to fix up the pirate ship prop, that he did not finish it in time.
A high speed film of a ship going out to the open sea.

Audio: Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver Says Obama Committed "Blasphemy" by Using Lincoln's Bible
Mat Staver, the head of the Christian organization 'Liberty Counsel,' appeared yesterday on the 'Crosstalk' radio show where he told host Jim Schneider that President Obama had committed "blasphemy" when he swore on Lincoln's bible during his second inauguration on Monday (audio below), reports
Staver said: “To swear on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible during the inaugural address is just really blasphemy to do that. Lincoln stood for principles completely different than this President stood for.”
Staver did not give any examples on how Lincoln and Obama differed on principles.
Staver also claimed that President Obama is “the most immoral president that we’ve ever had in history” who is “pushing an immorality that is stunning.”
Staver called President Obama a “dictatorial president” who “does not like America” or the Constitution (audio below).

A dozen of Hubbard County's finest tested their strength and agility Wednesday in a team building and trust exercise.
Most of the Hubbard County Sheriff's Department reported for duty at the Character Challenge Course on Hubbard County Road 40, a high rope exercise course that also tested their lungs.
They learned they scream like little girls when they're terrified.
Sheriff Cory Aukes paid for the training himself and was quick to note each deputy took unpaid time off to attend the afternoon session, in which deputies and sergeants worked together 30 feet above ground on precarious footing, crossing rope bridges, walking tightropes, climbing rope ladders and scaling walls.
Aukes said he wanted his troops to learn to work together, since most are on patrol duty alone. Although they back each other up during emergencies, they rarely get the opportunity to work together in a large group or intermingle.
They caught on quickly.
They yelled encouragement to each other, laughed at each other, joked to relieve the stress.
But mostly they worked hard as teams of twos or as a group to conquer their fears and conquer the challenging course.
They left exhilarated, certain each co-worker had their backs.
"I really wanted them to do this for the camaraderie," Aukes said. The team building exercises were a bonus.
The department has come a long way in the past year, when flagging morale led to Aukes' election last November.
The troops even joked with the sheriff, who monitored the activity from the earth. Many teased him about checking the weight limit of the course, and upon finding he exceeded it, opted for camera duty on the solid ground.
And course facilitator Sarah Coumbe-Guida assured him he could participate, girth notwithstanding.
"I'll tell you what, the officers thought it was great for building trust for one another. I heard that come out their mouths," Aukes said after the course was completed. "They thought it was a very challenging course that even brought a fear factor for some of them.
"They were very impressed with how the course brought out the need for a partner, even many partners at certain times and how working as a team is for the most part the easiest way to accomplish your goal," Aukes added.
"They don't have the opportunity to work as a group very often," the sheriff said. "They always have partners on (duty) and I hope they look at the fact that we don't always have t do things alone and they do have the opportunity to ask for help. They see the need for doing that.
"I felt that the course and its team concept would be very well suited for our line of work and that and the potential of some camaraderie between the officers made me make the inquiry."
Aukes had high praise for Coumbe-Guida and Bill Bugge3rt, who led the course exercises.
"They were great and knew just how to deal with our group," Aukes said. "I thought it was great watching Sarah, all by herself, bring absolute fear to the deputies at times and yet they all overcame all the obstacles thrown at them and accomplished what they needed to do."
Once officers got to the zipline, the screams had subsided, to be replaced by shouts of unbridled joy.
And a reinvigorated force returned to work.

Introduced an EMT to the benefits of carrying an Emerson Knives N-SAR, and to the usefulness of a nasal cannula at 15lpm. under a non rebreather set to a flow rate such that the bag doesn't deflate more then half with the patients deepest fastest respiration, or under a BVM with a PEEP valve, not activated, just on the exhalation valve, provides enough resistance to exhalation to resolve most pulmonary shunting causes, or under a CPAP/BIPAP mask. That a nasal cannula at 15lpm. provides enough positive pressure to allow apneic respirations; even if the patients not breathing, if they have a pulse, there's enough positive pressure to cause diffusion across the alveolar membrane. It also helps denitrification, and puts the patient in a much more tenable position for intubation. Putting one provider in a better position to care for his patients.

Interesting, a lot of you all enjoy dizziness too!
As a side note, I no longer cut or pop pills, I quit that about a year ago, and I guess whatever you'd call what I'm doing now is replacing that. I have to have a little craziness in my life!
I'm doing well today. I'm going to have a hot chocolate with added milk, so 50 calories so far today. I'll write more later.

About meSchez is a creature of few desires: a good book, a crackling fire, some beautiful music, and a fuzzy cat.
As Anne McCaffrey would say, "Everything else is subject to change."
I'm never content to read just one book at a time. I always have at least ten books on my nightstand. Books are like different types of alcohol- sometimes you want something light and fluffy, other times you want something that punches you in the back of the throat and burns all the way down. Why limit yourself to one thing at a time?
About my libraryI read a lot, and I read a lot of everything. My library is an eclectic mix of history, psychology, sociology, and mythology sitting right next to manga, comics, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, the classics, and good ol' sci-fi. I blame it partly on my education, partly on my upbringing, but mostly on my quirky personality.
Everything in my library has been accumulated over the course of the twenty-six years of my life. Thus, there is everything from children's picture books to my current passion, studies of the occult. I find myself rarely able to give or sell anything away, even if I completely despise it, as I often will go back to something I've read previously for references when I'm studying.
A lot of my books fall under the tag "to read." This could mean anything from I've read it and don't feel I remember it well enough to rate it fairly, I've started it and put it down for something more interesting, or I simply haven't actually read it. In the case of most of the classics and non-fiction, I've more than likely forgotten how much I did or didn't like it, and I need to read it again before I can fairly rate it.
A question I get asked a lot (especially by my next door neighbor, who is always attempting to convert me) is if I'm a satanist.
First, most people who use the term 'satanist' have no idea what it means, other than what they've gleaned from Hollywood. Most people assume that being a satanist means worshiping the devil, sealing a pact with him that means the exchange of your soul for whatever your personal equivalent of four-and-twenty years is. That is not the true (current) definition of a satanist. Know your religions before throwing terms around.
Second, no. Just no. I'm actually a panentheistic omnist ('omnist' being another term many people erroneously translate. No, it doesn't mean I hate everything). I was raised Protestant, in a Church of Christ environment. Becoming a goth in high school, being deeply involved in the church as a child, my love of reading anything and everything, and working toward a history degree have all contributed to my fascination with the evolution of the occult over the centuries. I study it, I don't subscribe to it. For all those worried about "looking into the abyss", and it's "looking back into you"... well, don't. My interest is scholarly and won't take the leap into actualization as Faust's did.
A note on tags: the tag 'kindle' does not refer to an actual kindle title. It merely represents a book I would like to have en electronic copy of.

Tag Archives: US editions
One more thing for when I run the world
I’m just sitting here watching the little running-man figure that represents my husband on the handy live-tracking feature cruise his way to 40k and beyond in the Boston Marathon. Because he is All That And A Bag of Chips, so he is.
You might think if I really loved and supported him we’d all be there waving banners and shouting ourselves hoarse, but we’ve done that before and to be honest, big marathons aren’t great to support at because there are so many people you might easily miss the one you came for and then you’ve dragged two children all over a strange city for not much and everyone’s grumpy and too hot/wet/cold/hungry. I blogged about it before, if you want to know how it goes.
But I’m here to complain about something else. If you’re American (and you haven’t read my rant about Harry Potter), it might come as news to you that books published in the US that were originally written and published in the UK or Ireland or pretty much any other English-speaking country are always re-edited for US publication. That’s why you pretty much never see “colour” or “realise” or “jewellery” or “pyjamas” in print, and might not even know for a long time that they’re legitimate spellings in other parts of the world. But it’s worse than that: they don’t just change the spellings. They change the words too. They “fix” the words so that the American audience isn’t confused by trousers or footpaths or bin men or woolly jumpers.
They might even want to change “all that and a bag of chips” up there to a bag of french fries. I don’t know if they’d bother to ask me about it.
I’ve always been aware that there was such a thing as a US edition, because I was the sort of child who would read every word, including the boilerplate text on the second page where they tell you where and when it was published and which imprint it is and sometimes even what font was used. I noticed that all my books contained a copyright notice that began “Except in the United States of America…” and some blatantly stated “This edition not for sale in the United States of America.” If you’d never seen that, you wouldn’t even know there were separate editions at all – and US books do not have a similar line implying that they’re not for UK (etc.) audiences.
But I do think they’ve stepped it up recently, as some of my friends have suggested when I get annoyed on Facebook about changes made to books that just sound ridiculous. I’m reading a Marian Keyes (Last Chance Saloon – I already own it in Dublin) that I picked up at the thrift store. It’s not my only US edition Marian Keyes, because my collection is large and garnered from both Here and There, but this one has had some really painfully out-of-place changes made to it. The characters are Irish, living in London. In the first couple of chapters I’ve already come across references to the “garbage collector”, the “closet” and “liquor store”: none of these ring true, to say the least. Even if it’s the narrator’s voice rather than a direct statement, the characters would not be thinking about anything in these terms and the result for this reader is about as distracting as the CLANG of a dropped anvil.
If you’re wondering, a garbage collector is a bin man, a closet is a cupboard or a press, and a liquor store is an off-licence. It’s true that the average American might not immediately understand those terms, but then they have two options: they can ignore it and just keep reading, or they can go and find out. With the entire Internet at most readers’ disposal, that’s not much of a demand. And if publishers didn’t keep pandering to the US readers by making these changes, they might already have encountered them in other books.
Last night in bed I found the most egregious thing to date: there’s a crude joke (look away now if easily offended) about someone being nicknamed Flora because “she spreads easily”. (Flora is a brand of margarine.) Now, I know that’s what it must have said originally, but the copy I’m reading had “she opens easily”. Maybe the person who made these changes didn’t know what it meant; maybe they did but they thought that making it look like a flower reference would be a clever way to keep the joke but make it accessible with minimal changes to the wording; I don’t care. It’s wrong! It’s a liberty too far.
When I am in charge of the world, such books will have minimal changes made and a glossary or footnotes added to explain unfamiliar terms, if deemed necessary, without distracting the reader or changing the author’s voice. That’s all.
(He finished the marathon, by the way. Way to go, B the B.)

Film & TV
You Can Keep Your IVF Story, Thanks
(Photo: Steve Allen/Dreamstime)
Who exactly is the movie Private Life for? Pretty much solely the person who made it.
The contemporary successor to the grueling 1970s vacation slide show (“And here’s Norman and I at the Grand Canyon!”) might be the IVF discussion. In every upscale area where middle-class couples gather over drinks, at any moment the discussion is liable to turn to the subject of an agonized struggle to start a family.
Private Life, which after debuting at the New York Film Festival will appear in theaters and on Netflix October 4, is the movie version: We begin with a reclining 41-year-old woman (Kathryn Hahn) getting a painful injection in the gluteus maximus from her anxious husband (Paul Giamatti). And we’re off: two hours of squabbling, waiting in doctor’s offices, feet in stirrups, taking vitamins, etc., etc. Hahn’s Rachel and Giamatti’s Richard are trying to get a child any way they can, also simultaneously pursuing adoption and seeking an egg donor, the latter producing a traumatic episode in which a young woman apparently eager to help them disappears without explanation after leading them on for some time. All of this is troubling to sit through but doesn’t shed much light. I can think of two groups of people who won’t want to see this movie: those who have undergone the process of in vitro fertilization and those who haven’t. If you’ve been through the agony, why would you want to relive it? If you haven’t been through it, why would you care?
So who is the movie for, then? Pretty much solely for the person who made it. It is unsurprising to learn that its writer-director, Tamara Jenkins, underwent IVF treatments, which would explain the loose, memoir-ish, and-then-this-happened format. The movie serves as a pretty good example of what can happen to even an accomplished screenwriter (Jenkins wrote Slums of Beverly Hills and got an Oscar nomination for The Savages) who can’t quite achieve separation from her subject. Basic imperatives of screenwriting are discarded, by which I mean this isn’t a story with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s more of a jumble of thoughts being sketched out over a jug of sangria.
The film is saturated with cinéma vérité detail — Hahn and Giamatti look haggard, ragged, and disheveled, and their book-strewn shambles of an apartment looks like an actual New York City flat instead of the usual idealized, uncluttered Hollywood recreations — but what’s most interesting about it is the stuff that is most obviously falsified. Rachel is a literary novelist who has been published in The New Yorker and won prestigious fellowships at Yaddo, while Richard is an acclaimed off-Broadway theater director. There isn’t a lot of money in these pursuits, which is why the New York City arts scene is teeming with independently wealthy people who don’t really need the cash, because they inherited it. Rarely do they live in such dismal straits as the couple in the movie. Jenkins herself is married to Jim Taylor, one of the most successful screenwriters working today and a winner of an Academy Award for Sideways. His other credits include Jurassic Park III, Election, and Downsizing. Taylor is the kind of guy who can make more money on a three-week rewriting gig than most people make in a year. Yet Jenkins dials down her family’s socioeconomic status about six notches to try to make Rachel and Richard more sympathetic.
I mention all this because I find it fascinating how taboos have shifted in American life: Jenkins is a symbol of our age in that she’s eager to delve into the most intimate details of sexual and reproductive life. When it comes to income, though, she’s as tight-lipped as a Park Avenue matron. After an entire generation of oversharing on matters bodily, hearing about people’s sex-related problems has gone a bit stale. Jenkins’s movie tries to add some spice by adding a few screenwriterly zingers, but these mostly come across as hopelessly cutesy. (“We wanted to ask you about your eggs,” Richard says to a young, female potential donor. “Scrambled is good,” replies the woman.) Jenkins’s plot twists, likewise, all wind up being dead ends. Frustrating to endure, no doubt, but frustration is not an emotion I seek out when I go to the movies. For all of the heartache going on in Private Life, as a narrative journey it winds up traveling approximately a quarter of an inch.

Searching for a Beneficial Answer to Debt in Hampton Bays, New York? Consider a Peer-To-Peer Consolidation Lending Option
Debt Consolidation Loans In Hampton Bays, New York
People all over the place are constantly searching for the best option for them when it comes to obtaining a lending product. Naturally, each option features its own advantages, and there are several to compare and contrast. You will need the following useful information to help you to grasp the P2P consolidation process in Hampton Bays, New York.
The Waiting Phase From Conventional Major Banking Institutions
It will take a lot of patience to stay with the prolonged steps involved in waiting for bank loan authorization and access to the required funds. Throughout this time, you're falling deeper and deeper into consumer debt. The whole process of P2P debt consolidation lending options is a lot quicker, and you'll have the funds you need in a few weeks.
Consolidation Lending: Application
The amount of work and time involved in bank loans is usually very frustrating. The very first thing you have to do is to try to make an appointment with a bank's loan expert during the time which is suitable to them. Sometimes it's not an awful hassle, but scheduling issues may make this part of the routine more difficult than you can ever imagine.
Identifying Qualification for Debt Consolidation Lending
Many people discover that bank loan conditions are far too demanding to deal with. You will need to satisfy high standards, then carry out plenty of irritating chores as you wait a long while to find out whether you will be approved. As conditions become more challenging to meet, less and less consumers are able to find any sort of help with a loan from the bank.
In a time where few options are meant to make life simpler, peer-to-peer debt consolidation is a solution that favors the consumer in Hampton Bays, New York. These days, you are far less likely to secure a loan with a bank than you are to find success with P2P lending.
How Debt Consolidation Lending Options Affect Your Credit Score
An inquiry is sent to the credit agencies whenever you apply for a lending option. When this happens, your credit score takes a hit. On the other hand, there is also the option of a 'soft' inquiry, that a lot of P2P lenders take advantage of. That is a method of looking at your credit history without the need of affecting it in a damaging way.
Your application acceptance will depend on your consumer credit rating. P2P debt consolidation loans are less stringent in their credit rating requirements than banks, who typically demand your score to be close to seven hundred to accept you for a loan. Believe it or not, if your rating is near the middle 600s, you will be prepared to submit an application for lending options with a few lenders of this kind, including Prosper or Lending Club, that are discussed in more detail below.
What Evidence Of Earnings and Finances is Necessary?
It is also helpful to be aware that you won't have to provide as much proof to a peer-to-peer loan company as you need to do to a bank. If you've got sufficient proof that you will be ready to pay the loan, this is usually adequate for a peer-to-peer loan service. If you are a client who wishes to maintain a semblance of privacy when applying for loans, this variable is probably really fundamental to you.
The Interest Rates on Your Debt Consolidation Loans
Ridiculously large expenses are attached to consolidation lending options for individuals who do not have excellent consumer credit. People that suffer from interest rates which are as high as 20-40% find that it's almost unachievable to pay back the loan. Unbelievably high rates such as this aren't standard for peer-to-peer loan companies. On peer-to-peer lending options, you're much more apt to have a rate which is less than 15%, rendering it a lot easier to pay the borrowed funds.
The Advantage of a Set Repayment Schedule on Your Resources
Frequently, once you get a loan from a banking institution, your monthly payments may vary over time. With respect to your budget, this can be a real problem. You will discover a great bonus in Hampton Bays, New York P2P lending options with fixed payment schedules. It doesn't matter what happens with the economic climate, your repayment remains the same.
Opting to Pay Loans With Direct Debit
Many people struggle to make their monthly payments on the specified day each month. Since overdue payments are incredibly profitable for banks, having big penalties, the financial institution will not make a significant effort to help remind you that the payment is due. You are able to eliminate those fees and also the related worry by taking advantage of the direct payments approach with peer-to-peer lending. Late payment fees will not be a problem when your installment is programmed. Assuming that you have got the cash in your accounts to pay for it, you have nothing to worry about.
With all the advantages of peer-to-peer consolidation loans, the only real question you need to ask now is what P2P loan service to work with. Prosper and Lending Club are two excellent options you should look at.
If you have never heard about Lending Club, there's some information you need to think about before applying. To discover what you can expect if you decide to work with this loan company, study this introduction to their company.
What Could You Be Approved For Via P2P Loans?
The very first thing you should bear in mind is you will be able to borrow as much as $35,000 from the lenders here. That is an excellent option for people who are unable to get approved for an amount this big from various other places. Although the amount of money you will be provided is dependent upon a number of things, there are folks who have imperfect consumer credit and they have managed to secure this amount of money.
Freedom From Buried Fees
Frequently, people discover there are costs involved with banking institutions that they were not aware of when they accepted the financial loan. It is quite typical for people to be compelled into finalizing without totally comprehending the ramifications. Lending Club is very clear regarding their loan rates, which begin at 5.49% and go up to 26.06%. As a result once you consent to an amount, you will not be informed later that you must pay back something more that isn't made immediately apparent on applying.
What Will Happen if You Mess Up?
Ideally, when you use automated payments, you have the cash in the bank account to cover it; but, it does not always work that way. You could certainly expect you'll end up paying for a slip-up like that; though with many companies, the rate is extremely excessive. Lending Club is a lot more understanding of errors. You'll only be charged $15 for an unsuccessful payment. It is at least 2 times below the typical lender.
Repayment Via Checks
For anyone who is unable or would rather not to come up with a payment with automatic payments and when you want to make payments by checks, this is an option accessible to you from this company. Lending agencies have got a good deal to benefit from unsuccessful monthly payments, which is why they normally decline checks, choosing to benefit from your circumstances. You have to pay an added fee if you make payments by check, but Lending Club is up front about this cost, and does not exploit you.
There's No Risk To Your Credit Score Whenever You Inquire About Your Loan Qualification
Frequently, when looking for loans, you do not know if you're going to be eligible . The very idea of submitting an application and having this affect your credit score will make people wary of submitting an application at all. You could escape the risk to your credit by submitting an application with Lending Club. Your choice to try to get financing with Lending Club isn't going to affect your credit score, even if you're denied.
This is all you must understand to determine if Lending Club is best for you. There is yet another superior lending company to look at: Prosper.
Peer-To-Peer Lending Options Through Prosper
When you're researching Hampton Bays, New York peer-to-peer lending options, you'll definitely want to think about your options available through Prosper. This provider offers lots of advantages. Following are the more significant variables that you will need to be aware of.
There is No Need to Maintain a Fantastic Consumer Credit Rating
There are far more people that have consumer credit challenges than those with pristine consumer credit information. At times things like late payments and home mortgages will take a severe toll on your credit rating. Prosper is understanding of imperfection and will help you to get a loan with a consumer credit score of 640. That is wonderful bearing in mind many banks won't give individuals with this rating a second glance.
How Prosper Has Been Enabling Folks to Handle Financial Debt For Years
Obviously, any sort of loan provider can make assurances. Although some of these can be authentic, lots of them are only endeavoring to wow you enough to influence you to work with them. Prosper has loaned out around $2 billion in the course of their business. That's greater than the majority of lenders that have been in business for a lot more years. It was the first organization of its kind and it is genuinely an innovator.
What Lending Charges Are Offered On Peer-To-Peer Loans With Prosper?
Rather than letting you know a wealth of details that most consumers don't pay attention to so much, it is time to examine rates, starting from 6.05% to 31.25%. Each lending option and every lender is different, which is why the range in between amounts is fairly large. Actually in instances where two candidates have the same consumer credit rating, different variables can impact the provided quote. The great news is these interest rates are visibly placed on the site, so there'll be no confusion down the road. Visibility is a part of the primary ethics of Prosper.
They Enable You To Spend Less
When people make monthly payments on credit card debt, they often make the minimum installment. As a result you are actually repaying a lot more interest than anything, and the principal sum is not really improving. If you'd like to ultimately concentrate on the main balance, debt consolidation loans can certainly help. Prosper is available to help you avoid being in debt forever by offering you a lifeline.
The Procedure for P2P Consolidation Lending Options
It's usually necessary to wait around for a little while before you can get financing from a traditional loan service, yet Prosper will do things in a different way. To start with, your application must be accepted; then, you can describe why you require a financial loan and what amount of money you need within your listing. Loan providers look at the post and determine whether or not they want to help you. If somebody chooses to finance your loan, it won't require much time to receive it. The average time frame that folks have to wait is roughly twelve days.
No conventional bank delivers the advantages of Prosper or Lending Club . That's why P2P lending has grown to be quite popular. There's no more sensible choice for Hampton Bays, New York consolidation than P2P financing. There are several lenders to choose from who'll endeavor to convince you that they can help you out, though the fact is that they do not have your welfare in mind. Think about all you were told here before you venture out and apply for any financial loans and you'll have a far more positive encounter.

Vaccination Exemptions and Outbreaks by State | Jackson Free Press | Jackson, MS
Vaccination Exemptions and Outbreaks by State
Illustrated by Kristin Brenemen. SOURCE: CDC
Illustrated by Kristin Brenemen. SOURCE: CDC
A measles outbreak originating at Disneyland in California has infected more than 120 people across 14 states since December. California allows vaccine exemptions to grant students who are not vaccinated entrance to public school for medical, religious and philosophical reasons, along with 19 other states.
The map to the left shows reported data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website regarding the outbreak from Dec. 28 to Feb. 6 as well as the allowed exemptions in each state.
By Feb. 6, 114 Measles infections were linked to the outbreak occurring at Disneyland. The number of cases by state are as follows: California (99), Arizona (7), Utah (3), Washington (2), Oregon (1), Colorado (1), and Nebraska (1).
The CDC reports that the outbreak likely started from a traveler who had been infected with measles overseas, but they have not identified a source.
Twenty states have vaccine exemptions for philosophical and religious reasons, in addition to medical reasons. Included in those are California, Minnesota and Louisiana, whose laws do not explicitly recognize religion as a reason for vaccine exemption, although the philosophical exemption can be used to encompass religious beliefs.
There are 28 states that allow vaccine exemptions for religious reasons, in addition to medical reasons. Only two states—Mississippi and West Virginia—do not allow vaccine exemptions for either religious or philosophical reasons, only medical.
The Mississippi Supreme Court found in 1979 that parents could not demand their unvaccinated child be admitted into public school due to their religion, effectively outlawing a religious vaccine exemption in the state.
Groups like the Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights are lobbying for more lenient vaccination laws in the state.

Can Palm Oil Be Sustainable?
Palm oil is everywhere.
It’s in the products we use, the food we eat, and the gasoline that fuels vehicles [1]. The electricity that allows you to read this article may have been generated from burning palm oil kernels [2].
Sustainable and fair trade palm oil is now on the market, but this label—like many other labeling—has some flaws.
Here’s the lowdown on what palm oil is, the problematic label of sustainable palm oil, and what you can do to work towards real sustainability.
What Is Palm Oil?
Palm oil is made from the fruit of— you guessed it! —oil palm trees. It’s cheap and versatile, and a very common type of tree. Palm oil is incredibly cheap and versatile compared to the alternatives, and so it’s in high demand.
It’s able to grow easily in humid climates, which poses a problem: the climates that it grows best in also houses 80% of the world’s species [3].
What’s the Controversy with Palm Oil?
Palm oil manufacturers are destroying the rainforest to make more room for oil palm trees. Indonesia alone lost a rainforest the size of Oregon in the last 25 years [4]. (Not Powell’s bookstore. Not Portland. The whole state of Oregon.)
Palm oil deforestation destroys the local villages that rely on the rain forests for their livelihood. Palm oil proponents argue that palm oil production brings a new economy to impoverished areas, but it’s akin to building a chain supermarket in a small town: it typically is devastating to local businesses[5].
Palm oil is the leading cause of orangutan extinction [6], and it’s also threatening over 193 critically endangered or vulnerable species [7]. You don’t need a picture of an orphaned baby orangutan with Sarah McLaughlin singing in the bathroom to conceptualize how awful that is.
Greenhouse gasses are destroying the environment. The by-products of palm oil production release insane amounts of greenhouse gasses, which are quickly depleting our ozone layer [8].
Can Palm Oil Be Sustainable?
In the same way that vegan milk shimmied into the spotlight after issues in the dairy industry came to the surface, palm oil has a new alternative: sustainable palm oil.
Unfortunately, sustainable palm oil is nothing more than greenwashed branding.
It’s like when cashew milk exploded into popularity: it seemed like a great alternative until we realized how toxic the processing of cashews was for the humans doing the harvesting [9].
Here’s the deal: a group called the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was formed, and they created a plan for eventually making palm oil “sustainable” [10].
The RSPO label doesn’t mean that sustainable palm oil is from a sustainable source. It just means that companies who have taken the RSPO pledge agree to be monitored, and want to make their practices sustainable eventually [11].
Sustainable label or not, oil palm trees need to be processed to create palm oil. It’s time to ditch palm oil and start seeking out alternatives in your food and beauty products. Unfortunately, swapping it out for another oil isn’t that easy.
Do Vegan Products Contain Palm Oil?
When it comes to vegan products, there’s some bummer news: there’s a label loophole that palm oil slides right into.
• Palm oil is technically vegan.
• Cruelty-free means that your product wasn’t tested on animals.
• Clean beauty means that your product's ingredients haven’t been shown to harm human health.
You can see the issue here. Palm oil is legally allowed to be vegan, clean, and cruelty-free because the labels don’t look at what happens after the palm oil is made: deforestation, and loss of habitat for the animals who lived there.
Ethically and morally, it’s a different picture. It’s like drinking milk: while the mother cow wasn’t killed to create that milk, there’s a whole bevy of destruction, pain, and harm that went into the production of that milk.
The good news: most vegan companies, particularly those in the beauty industry, work hard to use products that are palm oil free. Your Oreos might need a dupe, but your lipgloss may be safe. Try to stick with companies that have ethical pledges, and check the label to see if your products contain palm oil or its derivatives.
What Are Sustainable Alternatives to Palm Oil?
While palm oil is causing deforestation, there’s not a great alternative. Palm oil takes up the least amount of space with the most amount of yield in comparison to other crops that could be a good substitute.
Scientists are looking at a wide variety of replacements: insects, algae, and GMO tobacco oil are some of the forerunners.
Insects are out for obvious reasons. The other solutions will be a long time coming. Here’s what you can do in the meantime.
How To Reduce Your Palm Oil Consumption
Like so many other issues, the use of palm oil seems inevitable. This feeling of helplessness can feel familiar when we consider all of the ways that the earth and its animals are being destroyed. There’s so much to do, and large companies are the biggest culprits. We have to lower the demand for palm oil, which will in turn affect companies.
Here Are a Few Ways to Help Reduce Industry Demand for Palm Oil:
• If you haven’t already, eliminate or greatly reduce your animal product consumption, and stop eating processed meats altogether. Palm oil is a huge ingredient in industrial feed. Check out some of our guides to going vegan, and make sure that your meat alternatives are free from palm oil.
• If you’re already vegan, try to stick largely to whole foods or companies that are committed to sustainability. They are the least likely to contain palm oil or use palm oil for manufacturing. Eating local produce is also a great way to give money back to smaller farms, and picking your produce is a killer date night activity.
• Try to find products that are free from palm oil and its derivatives. Remember that palm oil can show up anywhere from soup to shampoo, so do some research before buying anything that doesn’t have an ingredient label. Check out some palm oil free products below—we promise you won’t miss palm oil!
Palm Oil Free Beauty and Skincare Products We Love

Social Media’s Ace in the Hole
Opinion: The overlooked mid-funnel is a critical piece of the customer journey
Most brand marketing efforts aim to drive brand awareness at the top of the funnel, with the ultimate goal of building purchase intent. Reach and frequency are the traditional measures of brand marketing effectiveness. Very little attention is given to what happens downstream of the initial ad impression or click—yet that’s where the richest data lives.
This is the importance of the mid-funnel, a key area where brands can nurture relationships with consumers who already know their name and products.
Views and clicks on ads don’t offer the deep insight and understanding that marketers need to build relationships with consumers. These top-of-the-funnel metrics don’t reveal key details: Which user segments took the time to share a Snapchat filter with friends? How many people scrolled all the way through a Facebook Canvas ad? Which of those people are already highly engaged with the advertiser’s brand?
In contrast, mid-funnel measurement provides brands with the data needed to understand, and target, their customer’s journey and the insights to ultimately encourage them to convert.
Facebook Canvas, Snapchat filters and lenses and other nascent formats offer new, interesting opportunities that are being embraced by advertisers.
Even under the tremendous scrutiny Facebook has experienced, Canvas, from its early stages, has performed amazingly well. The key? Harnessing the power of mid-funnel to help brands engage prospects. The ads are designed to encourage users to engage (by swiping, co-creating, sharing, etc.) and experience a brand in a way that’s measurable and that drives prospects further down the funnel. These ads target the mid-funnel by inviting users to spend more “quality time” with brands.
Why is the middle of the funnel so important?
The overlooked mid-funnel is a critical piece of the customer journey. A lot happens between the moment a consumer first learns of a product or brand and when they buy. However, in the decades before digital—when the only channels marketers had to work with were analog ones such as print, broadcast and out-of-home—there really was no way to measure the activity between awareness and acquisition.
With digital, social and mobile, we have an overabundance of data, which can help us derive insights regarding consumer decision making—it’s all found in the mid-funnel.
Yes, it’s helpful to see what triggers action and, ultimately, conversion, but the mid-funnel is also where marketers can gather rich insights that can be attributed back to ad spend, and those insights can ultimately drive better returns on that ad spend.
Beyond impressions and clicks, mid-funnel data—e.g., how deeply people engaged with an experience, whether they contributed to the experience or shared it with friends, or whether they signed up to learn more—delivers the insights marketers need to build deeper relationships.
How Canvas (and similar ad types) engage consumers mid-funnel
Social gives marketers so many new, innovative ways to engage people. Canvas, the Facebook mobile ad format that can also be used on Instagram, invites users to swipe up and enter an immersive experience that allows brands to explore and breakthrough creative boundaries.
Canvas is geared toward brands, literally giving them a “bigger canvas” to share engaging narratives with users. Advertisers may choose to use these formats to raise awareness or sell more product directly, but almost any larger-format display ad can do that. Canvas is uniquely positioned to engage the mid-funnel. Consumers who have already interacted with an advertiser’s messages elsewhere can now engage with a native format on Facebook in ways that—in Facebook’s own words—“generate intent,” “nurture intent” and “harvest intent.”
By serving ads with which prospects can deeply interact—by watching how-to videos of home improvement products, engaging with panoramic images of resort properties, flipping through image-filled fashion look books—brand understand how users are engaging with their advertising content.
Metrics go beyond click-through rate, revealing view times, what percentage of the content users consumed and more. These are metrics that reveal exactly what pieces of content users are consuming, and they can reveal how people make decisions about the brands they choose to surround themselves with.
Can these metrics be used to measure mid-funnel engagement to see how it maps back to conversion? Sure. But they can also be used to inform the marketing and product decisions that can create lifelong customers.
Of course, Facebook isn’t the only platform to recognize that larger, more engaging formats drive better advertising results. Twitter has enhanced some of its formats to increase engagement. LinkedIn is also trying to raise its game to pull in more of the business-to-business budget and engage buyers along their much longer path to purchase. While both have made incremental improvements to existing formats, the player to beat in this game is Snapchat.
Snapchat’s WebView format gives brands unparalleled creative control and opens up even more creative control than Canvas. While Canvas allows brands to tell stories elegantly, it also constrains the creative possibilities and limits the data that brands have access to. Snap Ads with WebView provide a similar upfront experience—that gorgeous, full-screen ad—but then allow users to swipe to view the brand’s pre-loaded landing page or microsite directly within the Snapchat platform, enabling Snapchat advertisers access to an even deeper pool of data.
These new ad formats are just the beginning of what will likely be a trend toward ads that seek to drive deeper engagement. As advertisers invest more in formats such as Canvas and Snap Ads, it’s likely that a growing number of marketers will better understand and capitalize on the rich data in the middle of the funnel. Only then will marketers be able to build the critical lifelong relationships with their customers.

#4 The Jury Trial Without a Victim
My fourth jury trial introduced me to the world of domestic violence. To say that as a prosecutor we never really know how a domestic violence case is going to pan out in front of a jury is an absolute understatement. These are the cases where prosecutors have to be prepared for absolutely every possibility. There are a couple of reasons why I believe this happens:
1. Victims don’t show up to court. In domestic violence cases everyone has a heightened emotional state at the time of the event. When the dust settles and the real life consequences on a family relationship put in the criminal arena begins; often it just becomes too much for a victim to handle.
2. Victims change their story. Victims of domestic violence are usually under an immense amount of pressure: they have lost the ability to co-parent, they usually lose an income, they don’t want someone they love to go to jail. The reasons for stories to change goes on and on. Often prosecutors don’t know what a victim is going to say on the stand until the testimony starts.
3. Witnesses are often family members. This includes the children of the parties. Family members are reluctant to be involved.
4. Victims become overly cooperative. This can also be a red flag. Sometimes and unfortunately law enforcment contact is used to influence family law cases. As a prosecutor we always have to look at the family law case to see what is being said by the parties in their corresponding family law cases to get a better understanding of the bigger picture.
Domestic violence often happens behind closed doors and so every scrap of cooberating evidence supporting the victim’s statement becomes key. We use small bits and pieces of those observations and evidence law enforcement finds to get to the truth between what he-said and what she-said. Always the best practice it to be able to rely on something other than the statements made by either party to prove the crime that occurred.
Trial #4 involved a female defendant and a male victim who had been in a relationship for approximately 22 years. They had recently broken up but the victim continued to live on the same property as the defendant, just in his own mobilehome. On this occassion victim and defendant got into an argument because the defendant beleived the victim was not sympathetic enough to his adult son’s situation and she went to victim’s mobilehome to confront him about it. She was told to leave; however defendant did not. Instead she got upset and grabbed victim by the jacket. The victim then punched her in the face causing a laceration to the defendant’s chin.
This was a misdemeanor level domestic violence battery. Minor, but documented injuries to the victim and a corroberating injury to the defendant. There were some pretty complex legal issues to convey to a jury in regards to self-defense that came up. Namely that the defendant shouldn’t be able to claim self-defense in a situation she created and the fact that the victim had a right to reasonable self-defense in response to her conduct. We relied on defendant’s own admissions of guilt made to law enforcement and photos taken of injuries in our case-in-chief.
Our victim also relocated out of the State prior to the jury trial and that opened the door to allow defendant to take the stand on her behalf to tell the jury about what happened INSIDE her house before defendant confronted the victim at his own. Information our office was not privy to at the time of the arrest. Information we could not discuss the accuracy of with our victim. Information we could not overcome at trial.
This rocky road of a trial taught me so much.
Evaluate self-defense prior to filing and make sure we can prove beyond a resaonable doubt that the defendant’s actions were not in reasonable self-defense. As a prosecutor that is always my burden to carry and it should never be overlooked.
Non-verbal communication can have an affect on the outcome of a trial. We had a non-traditional DV here. One were the female was charged. She took the stand using a cane and used assisted listening devices in the courtroom. Defendant also testified as to medical issues that she was having at the time of this incident and through the trial, lending her as a sympathetic soul to the jury.
A jury will always wonder where your victim is, even if they are told not to speculate.
Our Judge in this case was a long-term retired judge who had been filling a vacancy in our County for so long he was a permanent fixture. He had seen and heard it all. As soon as the jury left the courtroom, he turned to me and defense counsel and said, “Well this isn’t going to take long.” He was right, 10 minutes of deliberation to a not guilty verdict.

The "free market" in action
This is the thanks we get for bailing out the banks: houses going to pot, serving as potential havens for criminals, while many families are made homeless, in order to create an artificial shortage and prop up the prices of houses owned by certain people. I assume the banks would say that they're waiting for "the recovery," despite the evidence that the "expert" economists dictating economic policy intend to destroy civilization as part of their "recovery" plan. (They're actually striving to recover the good old days of feudalism, as hinted by the actions of their puppet-knight Anders Breivik, assuming that Breivik wasn't put up to it by Casey Anthony's attorneys to help her shake off public attention.) Does this make Obama clueless, or evil?

Alyssa Mancini (MSA ’20) selected for FASB Postgraduate Technical Assistant position
Alyssa Mancini (MSA ’20) was selected for a position with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) as a Postgraduate Technical Assistant.
“This is a highly prestigious position and available to only a handful of students across the country each year,” said Associate Dean for Accountancy Mark Evans. “As a testament to the quality of our program, Wake Forest has had several students take such a position over the last few years.
Postgraduate Technical Assistants are assigned to major agenda projects or to short-term practice and implementation issues, depending on the need for staff assistance. Postgraduate Technical Assistants are involved in all phases of their assigned projects, including analyzing written submissions received on documents issued for public comment, reviewing and analyzing published research, preparing memorandums on technical issues for Board members’ information, drafting due process documents, and evaluating accounting proposals of other organizations. Additionally, Postgraduate Technical Assistants attend and occasionally participate in public Board, task force, and other meetings pertinent to their projects.
Candidates for the program must be nominated by a member of their university accounting department and must have an outstanding academic record, strong oral and written communications skills, and have completed course work that provides a thorough knowledge of accounting theory and practice.

Asus LGA1156 P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard Review
Asus LGA1156 P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard Review
Via: HotHardware
InfinityzeN 4 years ago
The price of that board (and the Quad LGA1156 chips) is why I never understood getting one of these. Paying nearly $400 for this board and an i5-760 (to make it clock for clock, a 750 will save you $10) is kinda crazy when you can get an i7-930 with x58 mobo for +$100 or less.
A little extra memory bandwidth, the ability to run two full speed x16 PCI-e slots if you want XFire/SLI, and a much more powerful upgrade path.
As a side note, what is up with the crazy number of Micro ATX x58 boards out there?
animatortom 4 years ago
Cool Review!
This is the board in my new HotHardware/Cyberpower RigGeeked
I am getting used to all the features and how to set them up! I am unfamiliar with this whole overclocking thing to begin with. Like the review said, I have run into instability issues if I go above certain Hurts:P
I have all the BIOs settings set to auto. When I run the Turbo V, and the EVO6, it then turns into a balancing act. It seems to go crazy if the settings get to high. You tend to have to keep adjusting until it goes wrong, then go back and set those to what worked right before the shutdown. The Auto tune feature seems to work on a lower end, if you let it go to long, it then starts to crash the system. There never seems to be a problem of getting it back, that is a good sign!
once I have things set to Turbo, I have noticed that things like HD video plays Alot smoother! The Viewports in Max are smoother as well. Yet with the 8800, it becomes difficult to know what to attribute to the board or the GPU. The whole system is a whole lot faster with DDR3 and with this awesome board it is hard to tell because everything is working faster and more stable than before!
I'll let you know if I figure out this Overclocking thing! Since I am supposed to be able to do it with the GPU, CPU, RAM, and MoBo. The layout is really nice and it definitely deserves its Pro name!
Either way,...I am Loving it! Thanks DaveBig Smile

Not sure I undestand the calculation here. This board retails for $179. Also, did you factor in RAM?
InfinityzeN 4 years ago
I was doing board + cpu, with a quad core cpu required. The cheapest I could find the 760 for was around $210, so about $390 for it and this board. Just shy of $400 as I said, depending on if you get free shipping or not. You can get a X58 board from $160+ and a i7-930 for $280. That is $440 at the cheapest, though I would take one of the better outfitted boards and why I said a $80 difference. I didn't include ram because your going to pay roughly the same between the boards for total amount of ram.
My point was this board is nice, but I'm not going to buy or recommend a high end board for the core cpus unless it is for the 9XX series. This ones price is thankfully lower then a lot of 1156 high end boards, but I never understood paying more for something that is a tier or two down from the top end.
Archer 4 years ago
Correct me if I am wrong but the 1156 processors have an integrated memory controller. Now assuming this is correct how does your memory tests work with this MB, the only thing I can see is power and the bus that would have a direct impact on the stability, not much to do with anything else as the rest is pretty much CPU bound.
realneil 4 years ago
[quote user="Archer"]the rest is pretty much CPU bound[/quote]
It all goes to the motherboard and RAM that you use. Yes, 1156 socket based CPU's have the memory and the PCI-E controller on the CPU itself, (so it's a standard across the platform) but some motherboards seem to be able to squeeze just a little more performance out of the system as a whole. Maybe it's the way that the board is designed that makes a difference. Some boards use higher quality parts on them when they build them, such as Japanese Solid Capacitors, and Heavier Copper PCB's to name a few. The design of the power handling circuitry makes a huge difference too.
I had had good luck with an ASRock board, the P55-Pro, with a i5-750 in it. It's easy to setup and tweak too. My Intel DP55KG Extreme mainboard with the i7-870 is a good one too.
realneil 4 years ago
As to my $99.00 ASRock P55-Pro Mainboard,.....I just became aware of a new BIOS that's been released for it. So I downloaded it and installed it. Looking it over, I found an "Auto-Tweak" function that overclocks the board and components for you. You do nothing, set nothing, it does it all. So I thought I would try it out to see how it worked.
Below is a picture of my latest run of the Final Fantasy Benchmark. Note the default speed of the CPU and to the right look at what it's running smoothly at.
Getting 3.8GHz. from my 2.67GHz CPU works for me. Not bad at all for a $99.00 board!

You generally must fulfill the main objectives and all but one minor objectives in order to achieve a gold level.Since Freddie is working out anyway, Christine decides to start exercising at a nearby weight machine as well.Because Sims can speak to each other while doing almost any other action, she starts conversing with him while they're both pumping iron.It seems that once a high level is achieved, the decay slows down a bit, but giving Freddie the cold shoulder (especially after a hot date) completely gives the wrong message.It doesn't matter how close any two Sims seem, whether just platonically or romantically, those relationships do decay.

CoacaineWhile pursuing the news, New Times reporter Eric Eckholm reflected upon quandaries associated with judicial intemperance in “Case Explores Rights of Fetus Versus Mother.” Under a Wisconsin law known as the “cocaine mom” act, child-welfare authorities can forcibly confine a pregnant women refusing treatment while using illegal drugs or alcohol “to a severe degree.”
In such a case, county sheriff officers detained and remanded Alicia Beltran on July 18 to a holding cell. Beltran’s case came to light during a prenatal checkup at 14 weeks of pregnancy she described a previous pill addiction and subsequent claim to have ending it on her own (later verified by a urine test). But a skeptical doctor and social worker accused her of endangering her unborn child simply because she refused to accept medical orders to start anti-addiction drug treatment. So to protect the infant, county officials jailed Beltran.
Supporters of the Wisconsin law say it serves a useful purpose. Bonnie Ladwig, a former Republican state representative, who helped write the Wisconsin law, explained, “It’s the same as abuse of a child after it’s born. If the mother isn’t smart enough not to do drugs, we’ve got to step in.”
These types of laws and subsequent legal actions are cause for concern. Accordingly, such actions are often presented mostly as “black” or “white” (i.e., right or wrong).
For instance, Ms. Rennie Gibbs became pregnant aged 15, but lost the baby in December 2006 in stillbirth 36 weeks into pregnancy. When prosecutors discovered Gibbs had a cocaine habit Gibbs was charged with “depraved-heart murder.” Depraved-heart murder is also known as depraved-indifference murder, an American legal term for an action that demonstrates a “callous disregard for human life” and results in death. In most states, depraved heart killings constitute second-degree murder. If convicted, Gibbs faces a mandatory life sentence.
Ironically, there’s no evidence linking cocaine use to an actual stillbirth. While it’s certainly not a good idea to be using cocaine while pregnant, the fact remains that no scientific research directly links cocaine use to fetal death in late-stage pregnancy. It’s far more likely that her poverty, young age, and probable lack of prenatal care had more to do with the stillbirth or death.
Alabama has brought approximately 40 cases under the state’s “chemical endangerment” law. Introduced in 2006, the statute was designed to protect children whose parents were cooking methamphetamine in the home and thus putting their children at risk from inhaling the fumes. But Amanda Kimbrough is one of the women who have been ensnared as a result of the law being applied in a wholly different way.
Back in 2009, Amanda Kimbrough admitted to using meth while pregnant minutes after her child died during birth. She was convicted of chemical endangerment. The law was so new at the time, it was the first time Sheffield Police ever used the statue to charge a defendant. Kimbrough is now serving ten (10) years in prison.
Targeting pregnant women under any one of a number of statutes is the wrong policy for protecting the health of future children. When a woman who is addicted to drugs becomes pregnant, she needs immediate treatment to ensure that her addiction does not lead to serious birth defects for her child. But the threat of criminal prosecution, especially for a crime as serious as murder, only drives women into the shadows.
The original questions posed in the essay “Real Solutions Never Fit” remain unanswered.
“… questions must be asked and answers must be given. Does second hand smoke harm an unborn child? If so, do we punish the mother for harming the child or punish both the mother and smoker? Here’s another; the automobile is great for personal freedom, but exhaust fumes are toxic. Should a car owner be punished for assault if their vehicle passes a pregnant woman? If “personhood initiative” backers really want to be fair, should we not ban air fresheners, ammonia, bleach, antifreeze, drain cleaners, laundry detergent and oven cleaners? Do we jail company executives who make toxic products that local stores stock and sell and friends, family and neighbors who use such products? If a pregnant US citizen travels overseas and experiences a miscarriage in another country, how do we investigate and apply proper jurisprudence? Or do we simply perform extradition back to the country where the crime occurred? Can abortion doctors be tried for crimes against humanity?”
The logic outlined in the essay “Real Solutions Never Fit,” remains the same. However, from a prosecutorial standpoint, these types of legal actions raise the bar. One can only presume that if you’re an expectant mother with a drug habit or former drug addiction and experience a miscarriage, you could be prosecuted for murder. If we consider all unborn as children, is society legally bound to assign legal representation to an unborn child; thus pitting the unborn child against the mother? Does society really want to go down this road?
Personhood initiatives and chemical endangerment measures never really address the core problem of poverty, inadequate education and a lack social standing to properly care for children. If we send new mothers to prison, where does that leave their children? And what are the long-term psychological, economic, and societal effects of imprisoning mothers?

Americans Not Saving For Retirement (NBC33 VIDEO)
By Eric DeFreeuw
August 20, 2013 Updated Aug 20, 2013 at 6:07 PM EDT
FORT WAYNE, Ind. ( – A new report says more and more Americans are saving less and less when it comes to their retirement funds. says 72% of working Americans are either saving as much or less than they were saving last year for their retirement. Financial experts are blaming a "feel bad recovery," which is a scenario best described as being when the economy shows signs of improvement yet consumer confidence is still very low. Therefore people are afraid to save money because the future is still up in the air.
And retirement isn’t the only area where consumers are afraid to save. As financial advisor Todd Larson explains, savings across the board are down.
"It's vital you set aside and adequate cash reserve. That's just a fancy way to say 'stick some money in the bank' so that if things go awry and you come against rainy days, you need a new transmission in your car, you need a new roof, whatever it may be, you have more money to get that from. If not, what you'll end up doing is borrowing from your 401K, and when you do that you voluntarily pay taxes twice on the same money."
Larson also stresses the importance of saving early because it will ultimately pay dividends in the long-term picture.
"The younger you start to save, the longer your money has to grow and so you have a compounding effect. And so if you can start saving for retirement when you're really young it's worth a lot more than waiting until later years. And it costs less to save for retirement if you start when you're young."
It has become a bit of a rarity, but when it comes to contribute to a 401K plan, some employers will match donations. Larson describes this as “free money that is being left on the table” if not taken advantage of.

Three Poems
Robin Robertson
False Spring
A lift in the weather: a clemency
I cling to like the legend
of myself: self-exiled,
world-wounded, god
of evenings like this,
eighty degrees and half a world away.
All night, the industry
of erasure, effacement,
our one mouth
working itself dry.
But even a god can’t stop the light
that finds us, annealed,
fruitless, two strangers
broken on the field of day.
In the window-box,
the narcissi come up blind.
Straight on through the rifled dark,
the headlights film the road:
light pools ahead as the land dips –
the skid and slur of sodium
hangs, traced in the eyes,
as the road reels in to the sound
of sirens, crowding the night.
The cars in front are slowing down.
At the very edge of the train’s torrent,
its horizontal through-fall, you can feel it
clearing the platform’s length like a piston
of grey and grey and grey,
pushing air in front of it,
pulling it behind; gone
leaving less than nothing, just that faint
pitch forward
into its pocket of loss.

Talking to the walls
Don’t mind me–it’s just another day to avoid
reflection, to engage in deflection
not answer the phone or check the mail, because
it’s just another day of the same questions over and over
from the same faceless drone in an office
200 miles away, getting cocky with impatience
It’s not my fault you don’t know how to frame a question so that
it can be answered correctly
But I swallow all those elegant curses that would pour
so eloquently from my lips in order to
maybe, just maybe
get that pittance you withhold with apparent glee
I hang up and feel the flush start on my neck and my arms
get prickly from repressed rage
Is it too early to start drinking?? Is it too much to ask
that you just stop with the “i” dotting and the “t” crossing
for the tenth fucking time?

Nanabosho and Kitchie Odjig
$11.00 each
This traditional story teaches the importance of listening to one's elders.
One night, while the stars light their way to their grandparents’ house, Winona and Billy think about the constellations. While they help Mishomis feed the dogs, he tells them about Kitchie Odjig, the Great Fisher (known by some as the Big Dipper). When Kitchie Odjig teaches Nanabosho the song for bringing the shores of the lake together, he also warns him not to sing the song that will push the shores of the lake apart. So Nanabosho, being ever curious, of course tries it out... The lessons, of course, are that it’s not wise to push the shores of a lake apart, and it’s a good thing to listen to your elders.

A female azure caladanian mercenary, Lang Cai works for Gaddfly, an asuran mad biogeneticist, in his projects. A skilled martial artist, Cai uses a blade made of emerald crystal from the caladanian home world as her primary weapon.
Born on a conservative caladanian world, Lang Cai was raised with the older ways of the caladanians including their ancient martial arts, but ended up rejecting much of it. This came to a head when a blade made from pure caladanian emerald crystal, the crystal from their homeworld which gave them the emerald powerset of plasma blasts and manipulation. Tradition held that to use crystal to its full effects, a caladanian had to have the same power set, which she was not of as she was an azure caladanian. But using her powerset, she was able to channel a blast through the blade that was a midpoint between the emerald plasma and the azure concussive impact traditional from energy fired from crystal power.
This act and her embracing of it saw her shunned by her home town and community, and she took to mercenary work. Eventually, she found her way to the asuran mad biogeneticist Gaddfly and acted as his sidekick of sorts, helping him with his raids on worlds of the Lorwardian Imperium for biomass for his Fleshbot project and generally keeping his plans in motion.
She had her first encounter with Warhok and Warmonga (before they earned their war names) during a raid on the latter's homeworld, Antiga. Part of Gaddfly's raid, she infiltrated the planet beforehand and used her blade to sever critical wiring in planetary defenses including sensor stations and anti-orbital guns. With these defenses disabled and the fleet of Warmonga's father away, the planet was easy prey for the smash and grab operation. Lang Cai reported to Gaddfly that collection was somewhat slow due to local resistance, and the discussion was cut short by the arrival of Warhok and Warmonga. Dueling them, Nei showed her skill and held her own against both of them but primarily fought Warmonga in single combat.
However, the battle was not resolved even though Warmonga had caught her in a nullifier gauntlet snare. Using her blade to sever the energy snare she then used her plasma attack through the blade and escaped with Gaddfly and the surviving caladanian mercenaries they had come with. Lang Cai would escape the battle with the rest of the team and return to Gaddfly's home base in the Draco System.
As a caladanian, Lang Cai has their natural durability via their metallic feather-like exoskeleton and has the ability to put the ones on her forearms on-edge like a row of serrated blades. Being an azure, she is imbued with super strength that gives her a blue glow when using it to its fullest extent. This gives her great lift capability, but she is not one of the caladanian Empowered, thus her strength is only on par with the average lorwardian rather than being superior. Even without the azure bolster, however, she is fairly strong.
Thanks to martial arts training and extended training with her sword, she is a skilled melee combatant able to face down well trained lorwardians such as Warmonga in single combat and hold her own.
Lang Cai's relationship with Gaddfly is primarily professional. Gaddfly makes it clear that she is an employee, and while he tolerates a degree of lattitude with her he also occasionally drops the threat of dissecting her to investigate her ability to use her emerald blade. While her contract has a no dissecting clause, the Fleshbot program keeps the threat real to her. While she fears Gaddfly, she also respects his scientific skill.

Newt Unloads on GOP Candidates
RUSH: Kathy in Napa, California, welcome to the EIB Network. It's great to have you with us.
CALLER: Well, thank you so much, Rush!
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: This is a thrill! Okay, I have to tell you, you're the number fourth man in my life besides my husband, my son, and my dad. They're all dittoheads, and they love you.
RUSH: I'm honored to be on your list.
CALLER: You're on my list.
RUSH: I just have to say: Kathy is one of my top ten all-time favorite female names, too.
CALLER: Okay, you just made me love you more.
RUSH: (Laughing.)
Oh my gosh! Okay, I listened to President Bush in South Carolina, and I was cheering. My man is back! I love when he wants to hunt down the terrorists. I love when he calls them "killers." I've been waiting for this. I don't know why he hides out and doesn't come and speak to us, because every time he speaks to us, we get behind him. So what I did was I wrote a note with my RNC membership and said, "Finally," and then I renewed my membership.
RUSH: Oh, they'll be happy to hear that, because you're one of few.
CALLER: Well, now I'm confused also because you're telling me that Newt went off on us Republicans, so...
RUSH: Oh ho-ho-ho.
CALLER: Now you confuse me, O'Mighty One.
RUSH: Let me get that, since you bring it up. Newt had a breakfast with the editors of the American Spectator, and the Examiner -- Examiner.com, a web paper in Washington -- wrote about it, and he called the Republican "presidential field as a 'pathetic' bunch of 'pygmies,' Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. 'If, in mid-October, it's quite clear that one or more of the current candidates is strong enough to be a serious alternative to a Clinton-Obama ticket, you don't need me to run, [but] If it becomes patently obvious, as the morning paper points out, that the Democrats have raised a hundred million more than the Republicans, and at some point people decide we are going to get Hillary unless there's a radical change, then there's space for a candidate,' he added. 'So you'll know by mid-October one of those two futures is real.' Asked by the Examiner if he was prepared to commit to a run, Gingrich said, 'I'm perfectly happy to do what I do,' he said.
"'Whether that leads to the presidency is the country's problem, not mine.' Gingrich mocked Republican presidential candidates for subjecting themselves to a May debate hosted by Chris Matthews of [PMSNBC]. 'You're watching an utterly irrelevant, shallow television celebrity dominate everybody who claimed they want to lead the most powerful nation in the world,' he said. Gingrich ridiculed 'the idea of 10 or 11 people standing passively at microphones,' and said he refused to 'shrink to the level of 40-second answers, standing like a trained seal, waiting for someone to throw me a fish.' He added: 'These are not debates, these are auditions. By definition, the psychology of an audition reduces the person auditioning and raises the status, for example, of Chris Matthews.' ... 'I have no interest in the current political process. I have no interest in trying to figure out how I can go out and raise money under John McCain's insane censorship rules so I can show up to do seven minutes and twenty seconds at some debate.'" Now, about individuals, here's what he said about Fred Thompson. Are you still with me out there, Kathy?
RUSH: Okay, here's what he said about Fred Thompson. "I'm excited to see whether Fred turns out to be as decisive a front-runner as John McCain...The guy who wasn't even in the race is now the exciting new name, having decided that he would leave television for the purpose of entering television." That's what he said about Fred Thompson. Of McCain: "The guy who had spent the most on consultants is on the verge, I think, of dropping out of the race, right after he collects his FEC [Federal Elections Commission] money." On Robert Novak: "Sometimes he's right and sometimes he's just venomous....He was once a good reporter, he's now just a personality." On Algore: "[Not] in touch with reality. ... The advertisement for his movie was the most viciously anti-animal advertising that I've seen in a long time. They had these little penguins walking on sand. It was terrible." Michael Moore. "I find Michael Moore so despicable I can't imagine looking at a movie by him. It would be like looking at a movie by Goebbels." Chris Matthews: "An utterly irrelevant, shallow television celebriity [sic]... (who) doesn't know anything." And he referred to the current Republican candidates, field of candidates as a bunch of pathetic pygmies. He unloaded. I see you're speechless out there, Kathy.
CALLER: I am speechless. I'm up for an October Surprise. If Newt gets in, it will just elevate everything. So, go for it, Newt! I don't know enough about Fred Thompson. I just want somebody. But when George W. Bush came out this morning, it gave me hope again.
RUSH: You know, he has been saying a lot about Iraq, but this was different. He came out and answered some specific charges have been leveled against him for four years that he has not responded to, such as, "Hey, there were terrorists killing Americans before we went into Iraq; there were terrorists killing Americans before 9/11 happened." These are the kind of things that we've all been pointing out to the libs, but he has not made that point, at least not as forcefully as he did today. Kathy, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.

Saskatoon man assaulted, has part of beard cut off in attack motivated by anti-Muslim hate
A Saskatoon man was stabbed, beaten and had his beard cut in an early-morning attack motivated by anti-Muslim hate.
Man says assailants yelled, 'Why you are here?' and told him they didn't like that he is Muslim
Muhammad Kashif says he was cut, hit over the head and had part of his beard cut off in an early morning attack in Saskatoon on Friday. (Submitted by Muhammad Kashif)
WARNING: This story contains details and an image of an injury readers may find disturbing.
Muhammad Kashif said the attack happened around 5:30 a.m. CST Friday morning in an east-side alley. He said he was near his parked car when another car drove up behind him.
"They attacked ... on my back with a knife or something," Kashif said, adding they were also verbally abusing him.
"Using F-word and saying 'Why you are here? We don't like you are Muslim, why are you wearing this dress?'
"And then one guy held my hands and the other guy cut my beard."
Kashif said he was stabbed in the arm and then hit over the head with the cane he uses for walking, knocking him unconscious. He said the attackers were gone when he regained consciousness.
He lost his keys and phone in the attack and tried to get help at a neighbour's house, but they were asleep. He was eventually able to flag down someone driving by.
"He asked me what happened, I told him, 'I have a stab' and then he called 911."
Kashif was taken to hospital where he received 14 stitches to close a wound on his arm.

He said police came to the hospital and took a statement from him.
Saskatoon police said the serious assault unit is investigating with support from the equity and cultural engagement unit.
They are asking anyone with information or who may have witnessed the assault to call police.
Kashif said he is unsure if there were two or three attackers, but that he recognized one of them as a person who had previously verbally abused him.
Kashif said he came to Saskatoon in 2006 from Montreal.
"I am 12 years old when I came to this country and they are telling me, 'why you are here?'" he said. "Why do they have to cut my beard?"
Kashif said the attack has left him, his wife and their three young children very scared.
This is what Kashif's beard looked like before he was attacked. (Submitted by Muhammad Kashif)
A Walk Against Racism and Islamophobia is happening in Saskatoon Friday evening. Ali Ahmad, director of social and cultural affairs of the Pakistan Canada Cultural Association of Saskatoon, is one of the organizers.
He said the walk was originally arranged in response to the June 6 attack in London, Ont., that killed four members of a Muslim family as they were out for an evening walk, but that there have since been more incidents such as the recent attack on two sisters wearing hijabs outside of Edmonton by a man wielding a knife, and now the Saskatoon incident Friday morning.
"Of course I was angry and horrified [when told of Friday's attack]," Ahmad said. "But more importantly, I was confused. I don't want events like this happening in my city, in my home."
Ahmad said there is a fear in the community.
"We need to reassure them that they are safe," he said. "We need to create a sense of security that they can walk freely in this home, in this city they call home."
Ahmad said Saskatoon has to come up with a long-term strategy to confront these hateful acts of violence.

Prediction of traffic states
The main goal of this joint project with the Institute of Transport Research, German Aerospace Center in Berlin started in December 2001 is the development of statistical methods and a complex software system to forecast the traffic situation in large urban areas on the basis of actual traffic data.
The data provided by the Institute of Transport Research comprise the real-time coordinates and velocities of about 300 test vehicles (taxis) equipped with GPS-Sensors circulating in the downtown of Berlin. The data were gathered over the period of the years 2001 - 2002.
In the first stage of the research, a spatial kriging-based extrapolation method has been developed to extrapolate the actual pointwise observed velocity field. This method is based on kriging with moving neighbourhood and external drift and makes use of the historical data that represent the mean velocities. The data are directed, non-stationary and non-isotropic. Thus, it is necessary to split the data in four datasets according to 4 sectors of directions and to estimate the mean field of velocities (external drift) for each of these 4 sectors separately.
Each dataset contains the GPS-signals originating from the test vehicles that move in a direction belonging to a certain sector of directions (e.g., north-west).
Based on actual traffic data, collected within the last half an hour, the field of residuals representing the deviations of the actual traffic situation from the mean velocity field is extrapolated.
Adding the mean velocities to the actual deviations, the actual velocity field can be easily used to extract regions with traffic jams and to compute the traveling time for a particular route in the city.
The methods described above were verified on the test example of a Boolean Model with a deterministic drift.
The second part of the project, started in January 2003, deals with modelling the actual field of velocity residuals by a random field model from stochastic geometry.
The conditional simulations of this random field based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques are the subject of the forthcoming part of the project. In the last stage, the space-time evolution of the random field of residuals resulting in the traffic forecasting will be considered.

How to Handle Bad Examples in Texts?
How harshly should you judge when a scientific work gives a bad example of its point?
For example, I am reading Interaction Ritual Chains (Randall Collins), which focuses on emotional energy during stereotyped interactions between people (this is the scientific sense of stereotyped, meaning rigid or strongly patterned, not racist). IRC believes that interaction is important and irreplaceable, such that people will shun much more “efficient” solutions to their official goal in order to get interpersonal interactions. Unfortunately it uses terrible examples to illustrate this.
For example, on page 63 he claims that online shopping will never replace brick and mortar stores, because going to the store amidst other people is an energizing ritual. At the time the book was published (2004) this was obviously untrue to me, but I can see how it wasn’t in every segment of society. So while this is a bad prediction, it’s not a factual error.
He also claims that television has had no impact on sports attendance because people want the in person experience so much (p57). To the extent that is true, it’s because leagues has gone to a great deal of trouble to make it not true, by imposing blackout rules such that you can’t broadcast a local game unless it has sold out. It’s only since 1973 that the NFL had an exception for sold out games- previous to that, the only way to see a game played in your market was to be there.
How much should I reduce my confidence in Interaction Ritual Chains, given that it made this error? Or two false predictions? Is it even fair to score them as false? In person stores still exist, although malls are having a hard time of it. Maybe blackout rules were preemptive strikes and attendance would have stayed high without them. But this gives me qualms about learning examples I know less about- even if the author is being accurate, if I’m drawing incorrect conclusions.
Claim: Cholera was a big problem for German soldiers.
Claim: Gas gangrene is bad.
Claim: Section on Leeuwenhoek.
Claim: [crickets] (no page)
Claim: Streptococcus is the cause of everything bad.

The Good News Is I’ll Have More Time For Blogging Now
I’ve been laid off from my job at Wave.com. Wrong side of the dividing line in a reorg, I’m in very good company. I’m disappointed, and still consider myself lucky to have worked there- a for-profit fighting poverty that let me work from my couch- for as long as I did, but I’m also kind of relieved it’s over. Wave stopped me from quitting programing in 2015 because I believed in the mission so much, and it looks like I was correct the first time. I love programming as a tool to help other things, but it’s not my passion in and of itself.
My passion is the things I do for this blog- research, modeling, writing. So obviously a lot of my newfound free time will go here. But I’d also like to look for paid opportunities to use those skills. If you are or know of someone who needs writing or research like I do for this blog (deep scientific investigation, synthesizing difficult sources into something easy to read, effectiveness analysis, media reviews, all of these together), please reach out to me via elizabeth at this domain. Have a thing you really want me to blog about? Now’s a good time to ask. I’m also available for editing or tutoring to teach people these same skills, and honestly if there’s something I didn’t list that you think I’d be good at, reach out anyway. I’ve spent 10 years focused on programming, now is a time to explore.
I don’t care about the effective altruism label but am hoping to focus on content I find meaningful, be that in in altruism, science, history, psychology, economics…. or video games.
PS. If the thing keeping you from donating to my Patreon was that I made programmer money, it would be convenient for me if you reevaluated that decision.
Epistemic Spot Check Update
I am really enjoying this project and plan on continuing. I have started a subproject of reading self-help-ish books that claim scientific validity, to determine what the correct standard of science is for them. Some books have clearly failed this (looking at you, Upward Spiral). Some have had very accurate citations and strong evidence for the problem they are solving, but their prescriptions have not actually been tested (Exercise for Mood and Anxiety). Others have wrong or weak evidence, and yet the prescriptions have been very helpful to me or people I know. It would a great loss to throw those out, but we can’t read every self help book just to see what works.
My solution is to create a new axis for epistemic spot checks: model quality. A high quality model has the following characteristics:
• As simple as possible, but no simpler.
• Explained well in the book (you should be able to teach it afterwords)
• Makes explicit predictions that are testable on a reasonable timescale. Ideally the predictions are novel or counterintuitive.
• Recognizes that the technique may not work and explicitly talks about when that might happen, how to recognize it, and what to do.
• Usefulness
How do these strike people? Are there other criteria you would want information on? Other thoughts?

Legends of Love on Elba Island
If you happen to be on the island of Elba on July 14th, you're likely to notice the scent of love in the air: every year, Elba celebrates the story of two lovers that lived in the island many years ago. After the sunset, one hundred people dressed in special costumes participate in a parade. It's a very interesting event and if you have the possibility of taking part in it, just do it! But what's the story of these two lovers?
The legend says that in 1534 the seaside of Elba was not a safe place: the island was often invaded by dangerous pirates like Barbarossa who dominated the Mediterranean. In that period, the inhabitants of Elba were used to living in tightly knit groups and everyone was advised to avoid certain beaches, but a couple of lovers - Maria and Lorenzo - didn't listen to the advice. Lorenzo and Maria were completely in love with each other, but the rich family of Lorenzo didn't approve of the relationship. One day, when Lorenzo was helping a fisherman who worked for his father, he found this special beach, far away from the severe eyes of his family. From that day on, this beach became their secret hiding place.
Spiaggia dell'Innamorata - Elba Island
Spiaggia dell'Innamorata - Elba Island
For many weeks they lived unforgettable moments of joy and love together on that paradisical beach until that July 14th. Lorenzo arrived earlier at their beach because he wanted to prepare a boat to escape with Maria and marry her against his family will. The story did not end well because a group of pirates arrived and attacked him. Maria was just arriving at the beach when she saw the fight. When she was able to get closer, the pirates were gone: they left the dead body of Lorenzo. Driving to despair, she threw herself in the sea and her body was never recovered. In the 17th century, a nobleman from Spain called Don Domingo Cardenas, attracted by the beauty of the place, decided to live at the beach he used to call "Calla de lo Ferro". One summer night, in July, he caught a glimpse of a young pretty lady calling for help. In his surprise at seeing what must have been Maria's ghost, he shouted so loudly that even people at Capoliveri (a village that is 6 km away from the beach) were able to hear him! Later, when he learned of his chosen beach's history and the tragic story of the lovers, he promised himself he would light 1000 torches for Maria and Lorenzo. From that date the beach is known as "Spiaggia dell'Innamorata".

Ethiopian Pork We't
My version of we't (also written as wot or wat), the classic Ethiopian stew. My Dear and I first tried this dish at Ziggurat, which was more authentic and made of chicken (doro we't). According to this article, Ethiopians don't eat pork, so there's my first departure from tradition. Second, this dish should be made with spiced clarified butter (niter kibbeh) and garnished with hard-boiled eggs. What makes this pork dish we't-style, however, is the cooking method for the onions and the use of berbere spices.
1/2 kilo pork, cubed (menudo cut is best, but I used adobo cut)
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup vegetable oil (avoid olive oil as it has a strong flavour)
approx. 1/8 cup berbere spices*, depending on taste
3 medium potatoes, cubed
3 eggplants, cubed
1 lemon
2 cups water
1. Prior to cooking, marinate the pork in lemon juice.
2. Cook the onions in an ungreased stew pot until their are dark brown and mostly dry, stirring often to avoid burning. Remove the pot from the fire from time to time if the heat gets out of hand. This process, which caramelises the onions that will form the base of the sauce, is an essential step in making we't.
3. Pour in the cooking oil and berbere spices and mix well. Chuck in the pork and potatoes and fry until pork changes colour.
4. Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and leave to simmer. Braise the pork for about an hour until most of the liquid has reduced.
5. When the water has mostly evaporated put in the eggplants and continue cooking until they are done.
For a more traditional we't: (1) use chicken or lamb instead of pork, (2) replace the oil with butter, and (3) put some whole hardboiled eggs during the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking. This should be served with some injera bread, but pita bread will do. Since we already broke more than a few traditions, we ate our we't with steamed rice.
* You can make your own berbere spice mix with cayenne pepper (or any chilli powder), paprika, black pepper, ginger powder, and ground coriander. The cayenne pepper and paprika should make up most of the spice mix, then add the other spices according to taste.

[closed] Help with wireshark dissectors
I am developing a project in C# that decodes hex message using the protocols for LTE, GSM and WCDMA. I am able to dissect LTE messages but I need to put the dissector manually everytime. I've seen in one of the questions here that we can identify which dissector to use in LTE messages based on the link direction and channel type. I would like to know how I can do the same thing which GSM and WCDMA, how I can identify which dissector to use in GSM and WCDMA programmatically.
Thanks in advance.

Armstrong 'won't change a thing'
LOS ANGELES • Disgraced former cyclist Lance Armstrong has insisted that he has no regrets about the doping that led to him being stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles.
The American, once a hero to millions after overcoming testicular cancer to win the Tour de France, suffered a spectacular fall from grace that cost him millions of dollars in lawsuits and endorsements.
All of his titles from 1999 to 2005 were also vacated by the International Cycling Union six years ago.
But, in excerpts of an interview with American broadcaster NBC Sports that will air on Wednesday, he said: "I wouldn't change the way I acted.
"Primarily, I wouldn't change the lessons that I've learnt.
"I don't learn all the lessons if I don't act that way. I don't get investigated and sanctioned if I don't act the way I acted.
"If I just doped and didn't say a thing, none of that would have happened. None of it. I was begging for, I was asking for them to come after me. It was an easy target."
He has largely been shunned by the international cycling world since being exposed as a doping cheat.
He was issued with a lifetime ban by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in 2012.
Having denied the doping allegations for years, Armstrong eventually made a public confession in a TV interview with American chat show host Oprah Winfrey in 2013.
But he defended the doping as "doing what we had to do to win".
The 47-year-old added: "It wasn't legal, but I wouldn't change a thing: whether it's losing a bunch of money, going from hero to zero."
A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Straits Times on May 25, 2019, with the headline 'Armstrong 'won't change a thing''. Print Edition | Subscribe

On the surface, it’s a very nice looking logo.
There’s a bright orange background with a small green arrow pointing to the left, and two horizontal lines at the top of the logo.
In reality, though, the logo isn’t very clear.
At the top is a circle with a solid red outline that has the words “REAL ESTATE”.
There’s no arrow pointing down or left, no other indication of its intended purpose, and no indication that this logo is for real estate or real estate-related purposes.
It doesn’t even seem to be a logo at all.
Instead, the “REALLY” in the word is just a stylized, non-descript font, with a single vertical line and the word “REALEAS”.
In other words, it is merely a generic font that anyone can use to easily write a logo without any knowledge of real estate.
That’s not to say the logo is useless; it is a nice example of a generic, nonstandard logo.
But it doesn’t do much to indicate what the logo does.
As with any real estate symbol, there are two basic uses for the logo, the official “REALS” and the non-official “REASE”.
Official Real Estate Symbol “REals” A non-officially recognized logo used in real estate sales.
It is used to denote that the real estate company is an official agent of the realtor and that the salesperson is licensed to represent the realestate company.
The official logo of a real estate firm is often used to identify the firm’s name.
It should not be confused with the “real” realestate symbol, which is often a logo of the firm that is not used for realestate sales.
However, there is a real difference.
For example, some real estate firms have a different logo for each location in which they are licensed.
These are called “non-real estate” logos, and are also often used in marketing and advertising.
The official Real Estate symbol of a company is a red-and-white square with an arrow pointing up and a white background.
Non-Official Realestate Symbol “Real” Real Estate A nonofficial, unofficially licensed logo used to indicate the actual identity of a firm.
It has the word in red, white, and blue, with the lettering “RE”, a horizontal line down the middle, and a black border.
The lettering should be clear, and not in the form of a letter.
For example, the letter “A” might be in white or black, or the letter A could be in an outline or a circle.
The official Real estate symbol of an entity is a horizontal bar with the words in red and white in a horizontal pattern across it.
Official “Real Estate” Symbol “RES” A trademark that is used in the design of real property.
It can be applied to any product or service, including a website.
This logo can be used to describe the type of realestate the company is licensed from.
The company logo should be clearly visible, and the logo should not have a “branding” effect.
For instance, a logo that has a large yellow dot in the center might be seen as generic or generic-looking.
Official Real estate Symbol “ROS” The Official Real Estate Symbols Association of Australia has issued an official symbol for the Australian real estate industry.
It’s a yellow dot with a large, blue dot in a circle, and an arrow at the bottom of the symbol pointing to its left.
It does not need to be displayed in any other way.
In the US, the realtors association has issued a similar logo for real property, and they’ve even issued a logo for their own businesses.
A logo is a type of graphic design that identifies a business or brand, typically with a prominent logo that can be seen from a distance, as well as a logo on the front of a business that identifies its customers.
For the UK, the UK Home Office has issued the official Real Property logo for Real Estate.
“Official” Real estate logos often have no other information or branding, and do not indicate what their purpose is.
However they do provide some clues as to what the company’s official name is.
For the official logo to be effective, it should be readable, understandable, and clearly legible.
If it’s not, the only logical explanation is that the company just doesn’t care.

Kayaking, The First Part Of Kayak Fishing
The problem with most kayak anglers is that they are fisherman first and never really consider that they may need to become a proficient Paddler. Most never even bother to learn proper paddle strokes and just begin paddling and fishing. After all the first part of Kayak Fishing is Kayaking.
Kayaks are human powered craft; they are steered, propelled and balanced by the operator. Just like any craft the efficiency of that craft depends entirely on how well the locomotion apparatus operates. On a kayak that is you. Therefore the better you are at controlling your kayak the more efficient you will be in using energy and time spent on the water. Most of the time a sloppy paddle stroke is fine until conditions get bad or you have to cover a great distance then the proper paddle technique may make the difference between you getting home and not getting home. The techniques listed here are the minimum that you should master.
It is important to have good posture in your kayak. You should sit up in your kayak instead of leaning back or reclining. Good posture allows you to make all of your paddling strokes as powerful as possible. Always keep your feet resting firmly against the feet rests as this anchors your body to the kayak and allows you to get the most out of your strokes.
Forward Stroke: This should be the first stroke that is learned, moving your kayak forward seems easy and often perfecting this stroke is over looked by many however, as you might imagine, this is the most important stroke that you can learn. Depending on where you're going to be kayaking, how long and how far you intend to travel, good forward paddling may end up saving you a lot of time, effort, and muscle strain.
The entry point of your paddle should be as close to your feet as possible, so reach as far forward as you can before inserting the paddle into the water. You should twist your torso to reach this point. Then as you move your stroke to the rear you will untwist your torso which coils your torso in the other direction and sets up the next stroke on the opposite side. You should also work on relaxing your grip on the kayak paddle, as well, as this will make it easier for you to sustain your paddling pace. The easiest way to do this is to hold your paddle with the ok sign between your thumb and index finger with your other fingers just lightly resting on the shaft.
The most effective and efficient forward stroke is one that is planted deep and is as close to the kayak as possible as drawn backwards. If you follow this advice, and work on strengthening the parts of your body that fatigue quickest while paddling, then you'll find that you’re forward paddling will improve.
Sweep Stroke (for turning): One of the best strokes for turning your kayak is the sweep stroke. This stroke will turn your kayak much more effectively than just stroking forwards on one side then backwards on the other. Since it is a turning move, you should be working on getting the power of the move right, and find out just how far it is capable of turning your kayak after just one forward sweep stroke. Therefore, you should start out learning the forward sweep stroke while your kayak is sitting still. You should be able to turn your kayak in circles relatively easily using this stroke. After you've learned the techniques that you need in order to do the forward sweep stroke, you should work on doing it while you are actually moving. After all, that is when you are more likely to need this move.
You should also consider that you will need more practice with the forward sweep stroke while moving than you would otherwise. With the extra practice, you'll be able to figure out just how strongly you have to paddle in order to turn your kayak as far as you want to.
The forward sweep stroke is similar to regular forward paddling in that the paddle should enter the water near your feet. However, it is different in that instead of paddling straight back, you should sweep the paddle out away from the kayak in a wide arc that creates a “C” in the water, it goes out away from the kayak near the bow then as you pull backwards it turns in towards the back of your kayak. This should turn your kayak - but make sure that you pull the paddle blade out of the water before you hit the back of your kayak.
Once you learn the forward sweep stroke, you'll find that your ability to turn your kayak is improved immensely. If you reverse this stroke by inserting your paddle behind you and move through the stroke going forward while sitting in place you will be performing the reverse sweep stroke.
Draw Strokes (for pulling close): Sometimes you may want to slide your kayak sideways. The draw stroke is an effective method of pulling your kayak to the side without turning. Once you've learned how to paddle forward and in reverse, you may want to learn the draw stroke. This stroke is also called "pulling" the kayak, and will help the kayak to move from side to side. This stroke is also somewhat more difficult than the regular forward and reverse strokes, so you may need to take some extra time to learn it.
This stroke is primarily useful for avoiding obstacles, though it is also useful for people who do whitewater kayaking so that they can make sure their kayak is properly lined up with the rapids.
First, you will need to turn your body a little bit toward the place you are planning on moving the kayak towards. Then, you should raise the arm that is farther away from that side of the kayak. You should reach as far away from your kayak as you can and put the paddle blade into the water. Then, pull the paddle closer to your kayak (you should be aiming somewhere between your hips and thighs.
You should keep in mind that when you are doing the draw stroke, you want to keep the kayak paddle as vertical as possible. That way, you will not be losing any power in the draw stroke.
Make sure that you also pull your paddle out of the water before you hit the kayak, as otherwise you may do some damage either to the kayak or to the paddle you are using. If you are noticing that the draw stroke is not working properly for you, then you should adjust your technique as needed until the kayak is pulling entirely in the direction that you want it to.
Reverse Forward Stroke (for stopping): Stopping your kayak suddenly requires practice as well. When you are kayaking, stopping is one of the important things that you can learn. While it is not always obvious as to why you will need this move, you should keep in mind that situations at sea can change rather rapidly. This is also the case in rivers or lakes. Also, since you are close to the water's surface, it is not always easy to see obstacles from far away.
Stopping suddenly requires that you know how to reverse paddle, since chances are good that if you need to stop suddenly to avoid some sort of obstacle, you will need to back away from it as well.
The stopping stroke, also known as the emergency stop can keep you from running into obstacles like tree stumps, rocks, and other Paddlers. Therefore, you should definitely work on and learn this move before you go on any long kayaking expeditions.
When stopping, you should use the back side of your paddle blade like you would when you reverse paddle. Then, you should move your paddle forward with quick, short strokes. This will stop the kayak. If you're worried about the kayak turning from side to side, you can counteract this by using short strokes on either side of your kayak.
If you need extra help learning the emergency stop in your kayak, there are plenty of different kayak classes that will teach stopping as well as several other kayaking techniques. Once you learn the emergency stop, you'll be that much better prepared to deal with the dangers that will pop up when you're kayaking.
Low Brace (keep from capsizing): The low brace is used to avoid capsizing when you feel the kayak beginning to tip. To do this stroke you pull the paddle in close to your belly on the deck, and then stick your elbows out straight and high on each side. Depending on what side you’re tipping, put the back side of the blade flat against the water. Pushing your paddle down will provide the support needed and keep you from tipping further. When you first begin to practice this stroke you will actually want to slap the water with your paddle and continue to push it down. Once you get the hang of this stroke you will be able to perform it without actually slapping the water. While using this stroke you will use your hips to bring the kayak back under your body, while the blade keeps you steady.
These are just a few simple strokes that will not only make your time on the water more enjoyable, they will increase your range, ability to maneuver quickly and help you when things get rough out there. Stay safe and fish hard.

Credit Card and Check Payments
Rav Eliezer Cohen
Question: Today, there are many substitutes for cash that can be used for payments, such as credit cards and checks. How does halacha view these payments as it pertains to kinyanim?
Answer: Since common practices are recognized as valid kinyanim, credit cards and checks as well as online sales would all be considered good ways to transfer ownership in today’s society.
We find this concept in the Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat 202) where a case is discussed regarding a warehouse that sells barrels of wine. When an order came in, the common custom at that time was to mark the barrels that had been set aside for that particular retailer with a specific symbol. Once the symbol had been marked on a barrel, that barrel now belonged to the buyer who had ordered it.
The Shulchan Aruch rules that since this was the common practice, it also worked as a halachic kinyan and the ownership of the barrel was transferred as soon as the mark was made. This concept of accepting common business practices as a valid kinyan is known as situmta.
In today’s society, this would apply to purchases made with credit cards and through online sales. Since these are recognized by today’s society as acceptable forms of purchase, they would also work according to halacha to transfer ownership as a valid kinyan. In the diamond industry, it is common to seal a deal with the words mazal u’bracha. In fact, even non-Jews use this salutation as a signal that a deal has been concluded. Since this is accepted in the business community, it is a form of situmta and is recognized as a valid kinyan.
Without the concept of situmta, it could be argued that checks would be considered the same as cash, which is not a good kinyan on movable items, or it could possibly be considered like a shtar. I heard one theory that there would be a difference between using a check in Israel and in America. In Israel, it is illegal to place a stop on a check once it has been issued. Accordingly, some suggest that a check has the strength of actual currency, and would have the exact same status as cash. In America, a stop can be put on a check until it is cashed; therefore, it cannot really be considered a form of cash and would have the status of a document that represents a debt.
In any case, in places where it is the common custom to pay with a check, it would have the status of situmata and would be a valid kinyan.
Another application of situmta will be on a davar shelo bah l’olam. Halachically, one cannot purchase an item that is not yet in existence. For example, one cannot buy the crops of a field before they grow. However, the Pischei Teshuva says, that if it is common practice in a certain land for merchants to buy next summer’s crops, the sale would be valid because of the rule of situmta.
As we mentioned previously, the Mishpat Shalom goes even further and states that even though Chazal decreed that a cash payment does not constitute a kinyan, if the common business practice is for cash to be used as a means of transferring ownership, in that case it would work as a valid kinyan because of the rule of situmta.
When discussing the laws of kinyanim, the Shulchan Aruch Harav focuses almost completely on the ethics of transactions and barely mentions the different types of kinyanim. I believe that the reason for this is because kinyanim vary greatly depending on the common practices of the time; therefore, he could not give any general rules as to what constitutes a kinyan.

Key Actions When Getting A Commercial Water Desalination Solution
If you have a commercial site and its water source has salts and minerals that need to be removed, you can use a commercial water desalination solution. You can trust the model you get if you perform a couple of actions.
Find a Solution That's Consistently Reliable
If you plan on creating drinking water from saltwater sources, then you need to get a commercial water desalination system that's consistently reliable. You can't take any chances with salts and other minerals being left over because then someone could get sick or worse.
To find one of these dependable systems, you should focus on models that have been around for a long time because then they'll have plenty of performance tests and safety ratings to look over. You can then make sure you're able to remove salts and minerals effectively in the long term with a particular desalination solution.
Get a Sturdy Design
A commercial water desalination solution is very important to keep in good condition because if any major part got damaged, you would have to spend money on repairs and potentially be without a working solution. You'll have more confidence in how this system is able to hold up around your particular work setting if you make sure it has a sturdy design.
For instance, you want major parts of the desalination solution to be protected by strong framing featuring weatherproof coats. Also, make sure parts of this desalination system can remain in place, including the filter, pump, intake screen, and piping.
Make Sure Crew Can Handle Maintenance
In order to keep a commercial water desalination solution working great for years, maintenance will be required. Since you'll probably have crew members take care of this, make sure you get a solution they can manage without issues. Then maintenance won't get neglected or be done in a non-compliant way.
Maintenance can remain user-friendly if you get a desalination solution with a simplified layout and parts that are easy to access without a lot of specialized equipment. You may want to get professional assistance when selecting one of these models just to make sure you're targeting the right system that your crew members won't have to troubleshoot often.
You can take salt water and make it drinkable thanks to commercial water desalination systems. As long as you find one that's equipped to handle your water operations, this solution will make it easy to purify water over and over.
Contact a commercial water desalination solution service to learn more.

The Real Virus You Need to Worry About (And It's Not the One From China)
The sky is falling... again.
Every few years, folks get whipped up into hysterics over the newest "pandemic." Swine flu, avian flu, SARS... And now we've got this new "Wuhan coronavirus."
Today, the World Health Organization ("WHO") plans to hold an emergency committee meeting to see if this outbreak constitutes a public health emergency. But, as we write, China has already quarantined two cities – Wuhan (the likely epicenter of the virus) and nearby Huanggang.
As of this morning, more than 500 people have contracted the virus and 17 have died. The fear stems from learning that it's likely transmissible from person to person. What's more, it's a new virus – we haven't seen it before.
What do we know? And should we worry?
We know that it's a coronavirus, which typically infects animals and rarely spreads to humans. That's why investigators are looking at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China. This is likely where the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak started, as the original folks who got sick all went there.
We've seen a few coronaviruses before, including SARS and MERS, which are both respiratory viruses with outbreaks that claimed about 1,600 lives total.
For the most part, coronaviruses are more dangerous for folks with compromised immune systems, including people over the age of 65, people living with HIV or AIDS, and folks going through immunotherapy for cancer.
As we write, there's only one confirmed case of Wuhan coronavirus in the U.S. A man in Washington state tested positive for the virus. Airports are now screening folks coming from China and surrounding countries for symptoms in an effort to quarantine anyone who might be sick.
Symptoms of the Wuhan coronavirus include fever, dry coughing, and trouble breathing. It's similar to pneumonia, and if it progresses, people can develop fluid in their lungs, too.
That sounds awful. But let's put things in to perspective: To date, 17 people worldwide have died from the Wuhan coronavirus. But this flu season has already claimed 6,600 lives just in the U.S. That includes 39 children.
So, all this fearmongering and emergency declarations are overblown. Just like when the swine flu hit, I wrote:
And remember that the plain old regular flu (the one people get a shot for each year) kills many more people every year in the U.S. than the swine flu has or EVER WILL kill. This is because really old and really young people with weak immune systems can't handle any sort of infection, let alone one that affects your breathing.
Pay attention to what you can control – keeping yourself safe from the real threat: influenza.
On Tuesday, we shared some tips for knowing the difference between a cold and the flu and what medications are worth your money. (You can read the issue here.)
But the best way to fight colds and the flu (and this Wuhan coronavirus) is to practice good defense. Here are some of my best tips for staying healthy while you're out and about this season...
The number one way to protect yourself: Wash your hands well and often. Wash your hands after using public transit or doing activities with a lot of public interaction (think pumping gas or pushing a grocery cart). Simple soap and water are enough.
Do what I do and scrub your hands together vigorously in water for 15 to 20 seconds. Occasionally, I'll use a little bit of regular bar soap if my hands are really dirty.
Second, pop some vitamin C. I take this along with some zinc whenever I feel a cold starting. You can also take some before going on a trip.
Pack a face mask. If you're concerned about contracting any kind of cold or flu, consider taking a face mask and wearing it if you're sitting near someone who seems sick (coughing, sneezing, blowing his or her nose, etc.)
And as I've written before, the germiest place on an airplane is actually the tray table. Take a few wipes with you for a quick wipe down of the tray and armrests.
And whatever you do, avoid touching your face unless your hands are washed and clean.
Finally, remember that the real problem with the flu is the secondary infections. In the deadly influenza pandemic of 1918 (at least 50 million deaths worldwide), most people died from the secondary infections caused by bacteria, not the virus itself.
Today, we have antibiotics to easily knock out these sorts of infections. But if you have the flu, you're still more susceptible to things like pneumonia and other complications. For example, buried in the news coverage for the Wuhan coronavirus is a story about a young woman who died from sepsis. She contracted the deadly infection after getting sick with the flu.
So, if you do suspect that you have the flu and you also have a weakened immune system, go to your doctor. And again, if you're in a high-risk group, get the flu shot. It reduces the number of hospitalizations and deaths for folks who get the flu.
What We're Reading...
Here's to our health, wealth, and a great retirement,

Source Pathfinder Lost Omens: Absalom, City of Lost Omens
Azarketis, inheritors of a shattered empire's legacy, hold their proud traditions close but still surface to interact with the rest of the world.
The aquatic humanoids of the Inner Sea share a somber and burdened history. Most refer to these aquatic peoples as gillmen or sometimes Low Azlanti, though they typically refer to themselves as azarketi, an Azlanti word that translates roughly to “people of the seas.” After Earthfall, these proud humans were mutated into aquatic servants by their alghollthu foes. Feeling like they don't fully belong with their human brethren nor with the sea that binds them, many azarketis struggle for a sense of identity and purpose. Though they remain distrusted by the surface dwellers, azarketis celebrate their unique lineage and their descent from the venerated Azlanti culture.
You Might...
Others probably...
Physical Description
Azarketis appear as regal, athletic humans. Their soft, hydrophilic skin ranges in tones from pearlescent white to pinkish, greenish, or brown tones reminiscent of coral. Azarketis with hair are somewhat rare; many sport fins or scaled ridges on their heads instead. Like the Azlanti people from which they descend, they often have violet eyes. Their aquatic lineage is obvious thanks to the sets of three gills on either side of their necks, as well as their webbed hands and feet. Azarketis have been known to live longer than humans, although they mature at about the same rate.
Azarketis lack the center for combined culture that helps other groups maintain a cohesive identity. The vastness of the oceans and waterways spread these swift-swimming people across the Inner Sea and beyond. Many azarketis rely only on the small familial groups in their immediate community and prefer smaller populations with comrades they trust and know intimately.
Some azarketis prefer to foster connections with their surface-dwelling brethren. Living in ports, river towns and along the shore allows azarketis a greater scope of opportunities not afforded to exclusively land or sea peoples. Although integrating with land society can be difficult, azarketis manage by forming bonded communities. Members will often have fond familial names for one another, regardless of actual relation.
If they have the means, some azarketis dress in attire reflecting their Azlanti heritage. More commonly, azarketis do their best to remain inconspicuous when they emerge from the water. Many will wear shemaghs or other head wrappings, which both hide their gills and provide a few extra comfortable hours out of water if soaked before donning.
Alignment and Religion
As they are typically outsiders to the domains of surface life, azarketis tend toward deities with an affinity for the ocean or other forms of water, the most popular being Gozreh. They are also likely to give reverence to other deities of nature or navigation, such as Desna.
Some azarketis are tempted toward the call of the deep and serve their old alghollthu masters as gods. These individuals are enticed by eldritch entities such as the mysterious veiled masters—powerful beings of the deep ocean responsible for both uplifting and destroying the Azlanti people.
Azarketis vary wildly in beliefs and values, as evidenced by their broad divergence in allegiance; thus, azarketis can be of any alignment.
Azarketis often take the names of nautical, weather, or geographical features important to the azarketi's family. Other azarketi groups will choose human names in order to encourage conformity with surface cultures. Some azarketi names have been passed down through so many generations that they still use ancient Azlanti roots or refer to bodies of water that no longer exist.
Sample Names
Aft, Aliz, Cascade, Delta, Harbor, Ilani, Inkua, Jib, Lagoon, Lobay, Marine, Tidal, Windward, Zarket

Senses Low-Light Vision
Hydration While you are an amphibious being equally as capable on land as in the water, your body requires you to return to aquatic environments at least once in a 24-hour period. You must submerge in water in order to rehydrate your water-acclimated skin. If you fail to do this, your skin begins to crack and your gills become painful. After the first 24 hours outside of water, you take a –1 status penalty to Fortitude saves. After 48 hours, you struggle to breathe air and begin to suffocate until returned to water.

Taking up law as a career is rewarding
Keshav Gharti Magar
The term “law” was derived from an old Teutonic root “lag”. We call it “Kanoon” in the Nepali language originating from Arabic.
Generally, it is understood as a system of rules created and enforced primarily through government organs or agencies to regulate human behaviour. In other words, laws are made, applied or enforced by the authorities to regulate certain behaviours or actions of natural persons and legal persons.
In fact, different jurists have defined the term “law” in many ways, but in general, law consists of certain rules and regulations that must be followed by the people in society. Thus, law is defined as both the science of justice and the art of justice and the main purpose of it is directly linked to justice.
Law is complex as well as multi-faceted subject which is dynamic in nature. We need to be clear that the law is useful from any point of view. In fact, all of us human beings, from the sea to the sky to the various planets, are bound by the law.
Today, the world is getting advanced day by day with the pace of time and the need of law is very broad which can’t be defined in a single sentence. So, I don't think there is any kind of fear or risk in taking law as a career. Yes, there is a risk if you are not dedicated to this field and this kind of risk is there not only in the field of law but in every field.
As a career, law has been bringing excellent results in Nepal especially since the beginning of LLM and BALLB study and teaching.
As a career, law has been bringing excellent results in Nepal especially since the beginning of LLM and BALLB study and teaching. Even abroad, especially in the western countries, it is of amazing importance and has wide scope. I would say that law is a life-changing area for many as it has huge and broad scope. That’s why, law cannot be taken as a career option only because it is a big career in itself and is in great demand now.
To become an advocate in our country, a person must join a BA.LLB (5 years program) or LLB (3 years program) & pass the Bar exam conducted by the Bar Council. To enter law campus, students must pass the entrance exams conducted by universities. After the completion of high school (10+2) in any discipline, students can study BA.LLB directly but for studying LLB, students must have completed bachelor’s degree in any discipline. Both BA.LLB & LLB comes under undergraduate courses & the major difference between them is that BA.LLB includes some subjects relating to arts/humanities along with law subjects whereas LLB includes law subjects only. Apart from it, there is no big difference. So, it depends upon the interest of the students either to choose BA.LLB or LLB for higher studies.
Career in law is definitely life changing in terms of both financially & reputation. On the one hand, according to the nature of the case, the fee can be determined by oneself, on the other hand, the lawyers can enhance their own reputation by informing the society about the rights and duties of the individual. And careers in law are mainly divided into two categories i.e. Careers inside the courtroom & Careers outside the courtroom. Law carriers coming under courtroom are judge, clerk, court administrator, prosecutor, lawyer & etc. whereas Careers outside courtroom can be legal researcher, professor, legal/social activist, legal expert and so on.
In an overall view, there are many options in law as a career such as Advocacy, Legal researcher, Legal consultant, legal academician, Legal officer, government sectors, NGO/INGOs, banking sectors, Law firm & etc. Besides these, there may be various options for settling the future in the legal profession. One of them is lawyer/attorney. It is said that lawyers are considered as a highly respected profession among the most prestigious professions in the world. They are considered as trustworthy in the eyes of the peoples & are therefore respected in the society. When a client comes to a lawyer with his or her problem, all the actions that needs to be done on behalf of the client is commonly done by the lawyer to win him/her over. To be frank, winning or losing any case banks to a large extent on the lawyer's ability, qualifications, experience, theoretical knowledge, logic, attachment to the case, etc. This is why, they are considered as the reliable and respected persons in the society. They can make a great change in the livelihood of the people by helping them to get justice.
Lawyers are, in truth, agents of social revolution.
Lawyers are, in truth, agents of social revolution. Opportunities and challenges are probably the best and most valuable things for lawyers. Many opportunities and challenges come in the life of the lawyers. A lawyer can deal with the case from a layman to the head of the nation, from the national to the international level which is a very golden opportunity. In the legal profession, there is less chance of being boredom as new things, facts, provisions, etc. are explored along with the cases that make the case interesting. Lawyers can be as flexible as they want because they have their own schedule, timing, fees, & even clients. They aren’t bounded by or tied to anyone. So, they can perform their tasks staying in their own office or staying away from the office on their own time.
One of the good aspects in the legal profession is that it has alternative legal careers which is like getting extra bonuses while purchasing things. In law campuses, many kinds of law programs are organized & in that situation, mentors are needed to guide law students. People having obtained Bachelor or master’s degree in law can be mentors/legal instructors in law campuses/colleges. Similarly, law journal writers, legal education experts, law school teachers / professors, etc. can also be considered as an alternative to this profession.
Writer Magar
Considering all these things, it can be concluded that there are various legal career options in law such as lawyers, judges, counselors, professors, mediators and so on where exploratory and fruitful experiences can be gained day by day. Yes, as a career, law is a multidimensional field that includes everything in the world. Also, as being dynamic in nature, it brings a lot of opportunities as well. However, maximum use of knowledge and wisdom is required to capture the opportunities. Financially, the legal profession also has a satisfactory value. In today's market, this profession has become the most attractive profession in the world. According to Salary-survey 2022, a person working in the legal field in Nepal earns around 1,58,000.00 per month. Salaries range from 72,700 NPR (lowest) to 251,000 NPR (highest) which is enough to support a living. But the point to be kept in mind here is that earning depends on the individual’s experience, skills, gender, or location.
In a nutshell, there are plenty of benefits in choosing law as a career. There is undoubtedly a need and existence of law from the ground to the sky and beyond. Frankly speaking, there is nothing in the globe that is not touched or covered by the law. In other words, there is no area where the law is passive or silent in the universe. Therefore, choosing a law with a multifaceted and ubiquitous nature as a career is not risky. Having said that, one should have a good knowledge of legal process, communication skills, client servicing, logical capacity based on jurisprudence, written skills, etc., and only then it can firmly be said that law can be taken as a career.
The writer is pursuing BA.LLB (4th Semester) at Lumbini Buddhist University.

Second, robots are awesome and humans aren't, so humans couldn't have built robots. © 2020 Shmoop University Inc | All Rights Reserved | Privacy | Legal. Cutie goes off to think it over for himself.
At first, Powell and Donovan tried to convince Cutie otherwise, but then Cutie took control of the other robots by convincing them of the same thing. This time, they're on Solar Station #5, which absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy. Zugleich zeigt er auch die Stärken und Schwächen des Menschen im Vergleich zu Robotern auf. Because hot-headed Donovan spits on the Energy Converter, the humans are kept away from the controls. He was drafted into the army in 1945 and served for nine months. Ich, der Robot, auch Ich, der Roboter, (englischer Titel I, Robot) ist ein von Isaac Asimov im Jahr 1950 veröffentlichter Roman, der neun inhaltlich zusammenhängende Kurzgeschichten durch eine Rahmenhandlung miteinander verbindet. From the creators of SparkNotes, something better. Die deutsche Erstausgabe kam 1952 unter dem Titel Ich, … They try to convince Cutie by building a robot in front of him. "My students can't get enough of your charts and their results have gone through the roof."

By entering your email address you agree to receive emails from Shmoop and verify that you are over the age of 13. This robot, called Cutie, believed it was created by the Beam Director, or Master as Cutie called it, despite Powell and Donovan’s attempts to prove otherwise. And the reason it thought that was because robots were created by The Master, how a God for the humans being. Cutie didn't believe them. So Cutie can run the station successfully, even though he doesn't believe in Earth, says Powell (222). Then, just hours before a storm was to hit Earth, Cutie locked Powell and Donovan in a room for trying to interfere with the Master... (read more from the Chapter 3, Reason Summary). Chapter 3 is set half a year later on a solar station. Powell and Donovan think that the beam has destroyed large parts of the earth (192). This seems especially problematic because there's an electron storm coming that will screw up the energy beam to Earth. They were modelled on human shoulders, arms, and wrists to replicate motions like pulling, pushing, and lifting.

Summary: Half a year after, the two scientists changed the expedition to a space station controlled by QT-1, know as Cutie for Mike and Powell. Two days later, Cutie comes back to discuss what he has reasoned out: First, Cutie knows it exists, because it thinks.
Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Isaac Asimov's I, Robot. At the time, computer scientists like Alan Turing and John von Neumann stressed the importance of digital computation that could simulate brain processes, which Asimov also uses in, Asimov has written many other short stories and novels that contain similar themes and subject matter. Little Lost Robot Escape! The only problem is that Cutie doesn't quite believe what Powell and Donovan tell it; the story that Powell and Donovan told it about Earth and humans and robots doesn't quite make sense to it (11).

Please inform the heimishe oilem that when they cross the street at night to be extremely careful the drivers cannot see them since they wear black clothing
Ignatz Borush
Editor’s Note: Thank you for the alert. This goes for anybody who wears dark clothing, not just the heimishe oilem. Reflectors are available for sale.
Dear Editor:
Which people can actually end Mueller’s investigation or set a deadline? Congress? Trump? Just scratching my head watching the shenanigans continue.
Jack Cronglass
Editor’s Note: I believe either the president or the attorney general can fire Mueller, although it would not look good. It would seem as if they were trying to hide something.
Dear Editor:
I dislike sitting at my family seudos as my brothers, brother-in-law and their spouses talk more about wine and whiskey than the Shabbos or Yom Tov we are celebrating. The oohs and ahhs and comments as each one put down a fancy bottle at the table make me sick.
Is there any hope to curb the new drinking generation?
Shaina Miller
Editor’s Note: I agree with you 100%. Both the spending on drinks, and the amount of drinking going on has gotten out of hand. When it becomes such a dominant topic, it is not longer a recreation and should be curbed.
Dear Editor:
Is there any hope for the Supreme Court? Our generation is so deep in the gutter that we are busy with what aveiros people did years ago but yet when it comes to toi-aiva there is tolerance! I want to see Dianne Feinstein’s reaction if a judge with an alternative lifestyle is rejected to the Supreme Court. The fact is with the public schools the way they are, it is no chiddush that we have such menuvalim being considered as judges.
Yeshaya Perlman
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, it will get a lot worse before it can get better.
Dear Editor:
If you were president, what laws would you change?
I would make airlines pay passengers fifty dollars an hour for delays.
I would allow small guns for people over thirty without a history of violence for the past ten years, no mental health issues, and allow neighbors, acquaintances, or relatives to file a claim to stop his license application if they had a serious reason.
I would offer basic necessities without frills to every citizen.
I would say that illegal citizens should have no access to public services.
I would say prison inmates without a crime risk (a ninety-eight year old guy who murdered someone when he was twenty) should be let out and given support to restart his life.
Any additional ideas?
Tzirel Jacobs
Editor’s Note: Article II of the US Constitution which defines the powers of the President. The President does not have the Constitutional power to effect any of the suggestions presented so far. The President does not make law. That’s the job of Congress. Over the years, Presidents, mostly Democrats starting with FDR, have arrogated some of the powers of Congress to themselves by issuing “Executive Orders” ala B. Obama (N.B. The Executive orders issued by the current President have been almost entirely used to rescind those issued by the previous White House infestation.) Nevertheless, the President has no Constitutional power to make the decrees listed by the OP. With respect to 2nd Amendment issues. Neither the President nor the Congress could make such a law . The President, or Congress, could no more arbitrarily modify the 2nd Amendment than they could limit free speech or allow warrant-less searches bu Police. The current law prohibits four classes of Citizens from possessing fire arms. Convicted felons, those convicted of misdemeanor spousal abuse, those adjudged incompetent by the court and those involuntarily committed, again by a court. Note that all four categories have been so prohibited, not by Presidential decree, but by due process.
Dear Editor:
Hillary is at it again.
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton drew a comparison Tuesday between the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election, saying that in both cases, a foreign power had attacked the United States, but that in the latter, the president had “done nothing.”
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, also said she thinks Russian interference and other factors “certainly altered the outcome” in several parts of the country during the last campaign. She criticized President Donald Trump’s response to last year’s violence in Charlottesville, saying he “has thrown his lot in” with white nationalists.
Wow what a sore loser.
Jeanine K
Editor’s Note: Obama and Hillary are such sore losers. The more they speak, they more sour grapes are being swallowed.
Dear Editor:
Trump is bullying again.
Trump attacked Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., arguing that he “destroyed Newark” while serving as mayor of New Jersey’s largest city. Trump went after Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., whom he derisively called “Da Nang Blumenthal” stemming from a controversy in 2010 when Blumenthal came under severe criticism for exaggerating his service during the Vietnam War.
And as he had repeatedly done in recent days, Trump chastised Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for keeping private the allegation against Kavanaugh from Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her when they were teenagers. Feinstein, Blumenthal and Booker all sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Feinstein has said she kept Ford’s allegation private at her request.
“The Democrats only know how to obstruct, demolish and destroy,” Trump told a raucous crowd here. “As we’ve seen in recent weeks, Democrats are willing to do anything and to hurt anyone to get their way, like they’re doing with Judge Kavanaugh.”
Trump added: “They’ve been trying to destroy him since the very first second he was announced.”
Chani Davidov
Editor’s Note: You can’t really fight success. Until we see Trump’s party lose a major election, it seems that his tactics are working. Let us see how the mid term elections unfold

Beast of Bray Road
The Beast of Bray Road (or the Bray Road Beast) is a cryptid, or cryptozoological creature first reported in 1936 on a rural road outside of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The same label has been applied well beyond the initial location, to any unknown creature from southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois and all the way to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. This paranormal report describes as having similar characteristics to those reported in the initial set of sightings.
Bray Road itself is a quiet country road near the community of Elkhorn. The rash of claimed sightings in the late 1980s and early 1990s prompted a local newspaper, the Walworth County Week, to assign reporter Linda Godfrey to cover the story. Godfrey was initially skeptical, but later became convinced of the sincerity of the witnesses. Her series of articles later became a book titled The Beast of Bray Road: Trailing Wisconsin's Werewolf.
A number of animal-based theories have been proposed. They include that the creature is an undiscovered variety of wild dog, a waheela (said to be a giant prehistoric wolf similar to Amarok), or a wolfdog or a coydog.
It is also possible that hoaxes and mass hysteria have caused some falsehoods and sightings of normal creatures to all be artificially lumped under the same label. Concurrently with the sightings in Wisconsin, there was a rash of similar encounters in the neighboring state of Michigan. Following the release of "The Legend", a popular song about the Michigan Dogman in 1987, author Steve Cook received dozens of reports, including photograph and film evidence of the creature. There is no known link between the sightings in adjoining states, other than the similarity of the creature described.
Gable film
In 2002 a film surfaced, supposedly made in the 1970s. It became known as the Gable film because of a paper label affixed to the box. The film, just over 3 minutes long, shows at first what looks like simple home movies, of kids riding snowmobiles, a man washing his truck. Near the end of the film, the person videotaping is riding down a remote dirt road, when he stops and goes out to check what looks to be a huge bulky creature on all fours. The creature suddenly runs after the cameraman, who tries to run away, before there is rustling and a brief shot of teeth and fangs before the camera falls to the ground. A second film was "discovered" and showed a police investigation after the cameraman in the first film is found dead. The police camera pans over to two officers examining the body, which is revealed to have been torn in half by whatever attacked the cameraman. In posts to several cryptozoology and related forums, a user identified as Don Coyote stated that he knew a relative of the dead body in the film. The relative said that the officer saw something that was apparently very traumatic. The officer lost his mind and began rambling "Dogs have four toes, Bears have five."
For years, the debate raged about whether the films were real or not. Finally in 2010, on the History Channel program, Monster Quest, Steve Cook confirmed that both films were fake, made in 2002 by Mike Agrusa, who had been a longtime fan of Cook's "The Legend," a song about the dogman. The "creature" in the first film was actually a man in a Ghillie suit. The body in the second film was made of painted styrofoam. Although Monster Quest dramatized the event to make it appear that their expert had analyzed and found curious flaws in the film, then dispatched werewolf expert Linda Godfrey to interrogate

The general secretary of UNASUR , Ernesto Samper, confirmed his initiative for the next Summit of the Americas -the next month in Panama removal of all US military bases in Latin American territory arises.
"A good place to the new agenda of relations (which will announce the US and Latin America) would be no US military bases in South America. This belongs to the era of the Cold War, "said the former Colombian president.
For the president of UNASUR, "in a globalized world like today one can not ask for global game rules for the economy and maintain unilateralism for politics. No country has the right to judge other's behavior or much less to impose sanctions or penalties on their own, "he said in statement that includes the EFE news agency, referring to the decisions taken by the Obama administration in relation to the Venezuelan Nicolas Maduro.
The outlook for the Summit of the Americas
The issue will be referred undoubtedly at the next Summit of the Americas in Panama between 10 and 11 April next, which have confirmed attendance 31 regional leaders, including the presidents of Venezuela, Cuba and the United States.

題名: A Novel Algorithm for Mining Closed Temporal Patterns from Interval-Based Data

摘要: Closed sequential patterns have attracted researchers' attention due to their capability of using compact results to preserve the same expressive power as conventional sequential patterns. However, studies to date have mainly focused on mining conventional patterns from time interval-based data, where each datum persists for a period of time. Few research efforts have elaborated on discovering closed interval-based sequential patterns (also referred to as closed temporal patterns). Mining closed temporal patterns are an arduous problem since the pairwise relationships between two interval-based events are intrinsically complex. In this paper, we develop an efficient algorithm, CCMiner, which stands for Closed Coincidence Miner to discover frequent closed patterns from interval-based data. The algorithm also employs some optimization techniques to effectively reduce the search space. The experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets indicate that CCMiner not only significantly outperforms the prior interval-based mining algorithms in execution time but also possesses graceful scalability. Furthermore, we also apply CCMiner to a real dataset to show the practicability of time interval-based closed pattern mining.

Making SDOH actionable at the point of care
Making SDOH actionable at the point of care makes it easier for providers. Find out how Ayva can help.
Before a procedure, it’s critical that providers understand all the potential variables outside the healthcare setting that could impact their patient’s health and outcomes. Knowing the social determinants of health (SDOH) factors of your patients is crucial to identify those who may be at-risk for poor outcomes and may have challenges managing their post-op care. While SDOH data may be found in a patient’s EHR, it’s likely outdated.
Let’s discuss collecting SDOH data and how Ayva can help patients get the care they need when they need it.
Overview of SDOH
SDOH are essential to assess before a surgical procedure. This information can significantly impact a patient’s health, quality of life, and recovery.1 SDOH data include:
• Safe Housing
• Transportation
• Education
• Access to nutritional foods
• Income
• Language and literacy skills
Not only is having this information necessary, but it should be as up-to-date as possible. SDOH data is often not collected in the EHR and data that is there could be significantly outdated. Providers need to know if a patient has transportation the week leading up to surgery, not from three years ago. Using Ayva so that patients can self-report potential issues, can help ensure care teams have exactly what they need to help their patients by making SDOH actionable at the point of care.
Four ways SDOH data can be integrated into care plans
1: Transportation issues
One of the biggest barriers to surgery is transportation. Often, patients need a ride to and from the procedure. Follow-up appointments also require transportation. Utilizing Ayva allows patients to provide up-to-date information so care teams can assist in finding transportation if necessary.
2: Housing conditions
Another factor that providers need to consider before a procedure is housing conditions. For example, if a patient is having hip surgery, the home should be screened for accessibility, including access to railings. There should be checks for narrow walkways or other challenges that put patients at-risk during recovery.
3: Nutrition
Providers need to assess the health of their patients before a procedure. For example, if they have nutritional deficiencies, they need to know why or how these deficiencies can be supported. They may not be a good candidate for the surgery at that point in time if their blood count is low or lack valuable nutrients in their diet.
4: Social work consultations
Having SDOH data before surgery can help providers determine if their patient is at a higher risk of poor outcomes. Clinicians want to deal with the issue but they can’t address issues they don’t know about. Once you’ve identified the risk, the challenges are much easier to manage.
Knowing ahead of time that patients will need access to food, transportation, and medication delivery allows providers to involve social services. Social workers can get involved early to ensure a smooth pre- and post-op experience.
How Ayva can gather actionable SDOH data
With actionable SDOH data being crucial to effective care plans, providers can use Ayva to bridge the gap. Not all EHRs collect relevant SDOH factors, and those that are entered into the EHR may be out of date by the time of surgery2. Using Ayva enables you to collect timely SDOH data from your patients.
Having up-to-date actionable SDOH data will help you provide optimal care plans while improving outcomes and lowering costs to support value-based care initiatives.
Learn how a dynamic patient engagement platform can help your team collect actionable SDOH data.

'Horrified' girl spied on in the bath by webcam hackers
A 20 year old student from Glasgow says she fell victim to webcam hackers who spied on her while she was in the bath.
Rachel Hyndman told BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast that she was left "horrified" and "frightened" by the incident.
The BBC Radio 5 live investigation also uncovered websites where hackers trade pictures of people captured on their own webcams without their knowledge, and a black market where access to compromised computers can be bought and sold for a few pence each.
Online safety charity Childnet International advises that webcams should be disconnected when not in use, and teenagers should not leave webcams in bedrooms or other private areas.

Regular price £7.15 Sale
Glenglassaugh Distillery, standing on the Moray Firth coast at the edge of Sandend Bay, is a distillery which lay silent and forgotten for over two decades till 2008.
Glenglassaugh 'Torfa' with its peaty, phenolic nature is a unique expression and is quite different to the usual style of whisky produced in the Highlands. Torfa referring to the old Norse word for Peat, is a brooding, edgy character, whose personality is to be found at the darker side of the spectrum.
An eloquent , sweet costal peat smoke engulfs candied peel over melon. pineapple and roasted red apples. Oat biscuits, hints of heather honey and a gentle cigar box spice all combine to give a terrific balance to the expressive smoky character.

Or why frustrating limitations can be useful.
There’s this fantasy anime/manga favorite of mine, Hunter X Hunter, which has a world-building detail I used to find random and arbitrary. The characters of this world, who invent and develop their own superpowers, can make themselves significantly more powerful by putting extreme limitations on themselves. Want that fireball to have some real juice to it? Make it so you can only produce fireballs during odd days of the month when you’ve eaten at least 10 chili peppers first. Want to be able to fly really, really fast? Make it so you have to spend the rest of your time in a wheelchair and then first recite a 10-minute epic poem to the wind in a foreign language. (In case you’re wondering, neither of these are real examples from the series.)
Limitations on superpowers are essential in story-building, to make sure the superpowered don’t just smite their opposition out of existence. Just ask the creator of Superman’s Kryptonite. Or just ask whoever tried to write a storyline for Peter Petrelli in Heroes season 2. But there was something about the way Hunter X Hunter said outright that limitations equal power. As though it was a philosophical stance, not just a plot-writing necessity.
Which brings us to Twitter.
I have only a slight acquaintance with tweeting, but in my experience it’s hard. Banging out some one line response that boils down to either, “Haha, you’re so right!” or “Grrr, no, and now I dislike you!” is one thing. But actually crafting something that’s meaningful yet humorous, or poignant yet comprehensible, or incisive yet fair? And then fitting it into a 140-character post? Without using so many shortcuts that the post looks like a preschooler’s message in crayon crossed with the output of an Enigma machine?

“…that make us sound illiterate and probably leave out important context.”
A good tweet is art, my friends. Half the time I find myself “liking” tweets more for their technical delivery than for their message. Anyone can explain themselves if you give them enough space; boiling essays down to the size of an aphorism is brilliant.
There are also other restricted writing modes. My library had a “Tiny Story Contest” a few months back, where entries were limited to 420 characters. I wrote a few tiny stories, just for the hell of it, and had fun but found it challenging. How do you fit plot, characterization, and setting into 420 characters? It’s the same kind of challenge I have writing tweets; how do you lay out even the slightest complexity in 140 characters? Because I’m stubborn, and I refuse to give up on complexity.
One thing these limitations have taught me is that I use too many useless qualifying words that can be cut when something makes me. I also use a lot of long, complicated words and phrases that can be replaced with something shorter. The complicated words aren’t always the wrong ones; but often the writing becomes stronger with simplification because it’s cleaner and clearer.
Incidentally, this is an awareness I plan to apply to a book draft I’ve been working on … which might be too long.
So, just like eating broccoli is good for my health, I’m convinced that practicing tweets and other short forms would be good for my writing style. (Twitter itself might be less good for my blood pressure, but that’s another kettle of rotting fish heads to deal with.)
Seems I’ve come around to the idea that limitations can make you stronger, after all.
And, also incidentally, I like eating broccoli. Especially in teriyaki stir-fry. Yum.
Trajectory of a Horror-Fairy Tale Romance
Is this what a romance trajectory should look like?
Recently I plotted out the chapters for a new book idea I’ve been working on, trying to keep it down to a concise ten (and a prologue). The book is a horror fairy tale with a romance central plot, which is a bit of a stretch for me–the romance center, not the horror fairy tale. Horror-fairy tale just sounds like fun.
So I threw a “romance trajectory” scale into my outline, trying to make sure it had some kind of natural buildup and that it wasn’t just an “Act of Author” bringing the romance into existence.
So is this what a romance trajectory should look like?
romance trajectoryThe two columns are the two characters. The warm colours are for fuzzy-feeling interactions and the cold colours are for relationship chill. Grey is neutral. Each subsequent colour becomes deeper because, hey, relationships are built up on the sum of all previous interactions; you don’t get to reset to the faded pastels just because something new happens. And I tried to make sure their impressions of each other were nicely mismatched during the buildup, mutually disastrous during the crisis, and mutually fuzzy during the climax. (Plot climax; clarification for the gutter minds out there.)
The darkest colours, not so coincidentally, happen to coincide with the most horror-filled of my horror fairy tale scenes.
Keeping it balancing throughout guaranteed that there were some believable evolutions on both sides. So now that the colourful little map in my chapter outline has convinced me I know what I’m doing, I’m eager to actually write the thing.
~ And yes, in case there is any remaining question about it, I am an outliner. A Mad Outliner. If I didn’t outline, I’m afraid my characters would have stream-of-consciousness conversations and walk in and out random doors like they were in particularly lame farces. Also, I might never reach the ending. ~
Beginning of the Bloggg
Who, what, and why.
This website represents the beginnings of a pursuit of a professional fiction writing career, or at least the social media aspect thereof. However, as I am currently, ahem, “publication challenged,” I’m afraid I won’t have much professional news to share. (Yet. Of course. No overwhelming fear of failure here.)
So I plan to take this opportunity to talk about the works I already enjoy, as well as discussing the various tribulations of that career pursuit. The former will be gathered under the heading of “Reviews”. Everything else, about the state of the writer, the writing, and the world at large, will be in the blog.
I hope to keep it light, keep it informative, keep it succinct, and keep it interesting. Feedback is very welcome (unless you’re a troll, in which case, I plan to feed you to my imaginary alligators.)
Welcome to the beginning of the blog. May it become a place you’ll want to visit frequently.

Standard model gets right answer for proton, neutron masses
Correct calculation strengthens theory of quark-gluon interactions in nuclear particles
When it comes to weighty matters, quarks and gluons rule the universe, a new study confirms.
ALMOST CERTAIN New calculations of the mass of protons and neutrons, which consist of quarks and gluons, confirm standard theory. A. Nandy
One of the largest computational efforts to calculate the masses of protons and neutrons shows that the standard model of particle physics predicts those masses with an uncertainty of less than 4 percent.
Christian Hoelbling, affiliated with the Bergische Universtät Wuppertal in Germany, the Eötvös University in Budapest and the CNRS in Marseille, France, and his colleagues report their findings in the Nov. 21 Science.
Nearly all the mass of ordinary matter consists of atomic nuclei, which are composed of neutrons and protons. These particles are in turn composed of quarks, which are held together by massless particles called gluons.
Gluons are the messenger particles that carry the strong nuclear force and are constantly being exchanged by the quarks, as described by the theory known as quantum chromodynamics, or QCD. These exchanges bind quarks together by changing a quark property known as color charge. This charge is similar to electric charge but comes in three different types, whimsically referred to as red, green and blue. Six different types of quarks interact with eight varieties of gluons to create a panoply of elementary particles.
The new computations confirm a prediction of QCD, the authors say. That prediction is that the masses of particles such as the neutron and proton come from the energy associated with the interactions between quarks and gluons.
Calculating exactly how those interactions generate the masses of protons and neutrons requires several types of approximations. That’s in part because QCD has some peculiar properties: Because the gluon-mediated force between quarks grows stronger as they separate, quarks can never be seen as free agents, but only in pairs. On the other hand, at extremely short distances, which are probed at high energies, quarks and gluons interact very weakly.
In their calculations, Hoelbling and collaborators approximated the continuum of spacetime with a four-dimensional crystal lattice composed of discrete points spaced along columns and rows. The researchers solved the equations of QCD on finer and finer lattices, and then extrapolated the results to the continuum, painstakingly accounting and measuring every approximation and uncertainty along the way.
Although the match between QCD and known particle masses was expected, the finding is still important, team asserts. “It was stated as a conjecture over three decades ago that these fundamental particles — quarks and gluons — would never be observed but rather [only] bound states of them, like the proton and the neutron,” Hoelbling and colleagues explained in an e-mail message. Moreover, the team says, physicists can now more confidently apply QCD to other phenomena in particle physics that still require a QCD explanation.
“Because these accurate calculations agree with laboratory measurements, we now know, rather than just believe, that the source of mass of everyday matter is QCD,” notes Andreas Kronfeld of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., in a commentary accompanying the Science article.
In other words, QCD is QED.

Of course, I love anything that highlights the importance of friendship and I don't think special things like this have to be exclusively for romantic couples. Tattoos aren't my thing generally (too much commitment!), but I would probably be way more likely to get one with my BFF than with a boyfriend. Not that friendships can't fade away just like relationships (sad), but so far, my track record is way better in the BFF zone than the BF/GF area.
Would you be more likely to get a matching tattoo with your friend or with your significant other? Yes, you have to choose even if you'd never get a tattoo. For discussion's sake, people!

The Way We Was
Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment
Principal Charming
Ned Flanders: [about the cable TV man] I should box your ears, you, you, you SNEAKY PETE!
Homer: [reading the "So You've Decided to Steal Cable" pamphlet] So you've decided to steal cable. Myth: Cable piracy is wrong. Fact: Cable companies are big faceless corporations, which makes it okay.
(When Marge and the kids come home from shopping.)
Homer: Oh, hey, hey. Family, family, come here. I have an announcement to make. The Simpsons have cable!
Bart and Lisa: Cable!? (they excitedly clamor in front of the TV.)
Homer: That's right, 68 channels. MTV for the kids, (to Marge) VH-1 for us. Sixteen hundred hours of quality programming, every day!
Marge: Homer, we've talked about cable before. Do you really think we can afford it?
Homer: (chuckles) Nothing a month? Yeah, I think we can swing that.
Marge: Hmmmm. Are you sure this is legal?
Homer: Don't worry, Marge. Take a look at this. (hands Marge a pamphlet entitled, "So, You've Decided To Steal Cable.")
Marge: (reads from pamphlet) "Myth: It's only fair to pay for quality first-run movies. Fact: Most movies shown on cable get two stars or less, and are repeated ad nauseam."
Bart: [watching cable TV] Oh, cool! This is where "Jaws" eats the boat! [later] Man, this is where "Die Hard" jumps through the window. (laughs) [later] Whoa! This is where "Wall Street" gets arrested! (chuckles)
Reverend Lovejoy: Now, today's Christian doesn't think he needs God. He thinks he's got it made. He's got his hi-fi. His boob tube. And his instant pizza-pie.
Miss Allbright: Today's topic will be Hell.
Kids: Ooh.
Bart: All right. I sat through Mercy and I sat through Forgiveness. Finally, we get to the good stuff.
Miss Allbright: Oh no Hell is a horrible place. Maggots are on your sheet, worms are in your blanket, there's a lake of fire burning with sulfur. You'll be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And as a matter of fact, if you actually saw hell, you'd be so frightened, you will die.
Bart: [raises his hand] Oh, Miss Allbright.
Miss Allbright: Yes, Bart.
Bart: Wouldn't you eventually get used to it, like in a hot tub?
Miss Allbright: No.
Bart raises his hand again
Miss Allbright: Yes, Bart.
Bart: Are there pirates in hell?
Miss Allbright: Yes. Thousands of them.
Bart: [rubs his hands] Hoo hoo, baby!
Marge: [asks the kids about Sunday school] So, what did you children learn about today?
Bart: Hell.
Homer: Bart!
Homer: Eh, The lad has a point.
Bart: Hell, yes!
Marge: Bart!
Bart: (singing) Hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell.
Satan: Come on, Lisa. Watch a little cable with us. Heh heh. It won't cost you a thing ... EXCEPT FOR YOUR SOUL!
Lisa: [screams and runs out]
Marge: What's gotten into Lisa?
Bart: Beats the hell out of me!
Homer: Bart!
[while Marge and Lisa are at the supermarket; Marge takes a grape and eats it]
Lisa: Mom, what are you doing?
Marge: What, what do you mean?
Lisa: Don't you remember the eighth commandment?
Marge: Oh, of course. It's thou shalt not um not covet, um, graven images, something about covet...
Lisa: [shouts] THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!!!
Homer: [in sotto voce] Oh, great. [speaks up] All right, what makes you say that?
Homer: Well, duh.
Lisa: No.
Homer: And did you pay for those clothes you're wearing?
Lisa: No, I didn't.
Lisa: Dad, I think that's pretty spurious.
Homer: Well, thank you, honey.
[at work in the showers]
Lenny: Hey, big fight coming up.
Carl: Yeah, you wanna come over to my house and listen to round-by-round updates on the radio?
Lenny: Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, and then after the fight, we can watch the still photos on the 11:00 news.
Carl: Not too shabby!
Lisa: So even if a man takes bread to feed his starving family, that would be stealing?
Reverend Lovejoy: No. Well, it is if he puts anything on it. Jelly, for example.
Lisa: I see.
Reverend Lovejoy: Lisa, you came to see me for a reason...puzzled tone of voice...Is your father stealing bread?
Lisa: No; however, he pirated cable so we are getting it for free.
Reverend Lovejoy: I am afraid that is stealing. However, the Commandments apply to us all, and inasmuch as you are to respect the 8th Commandment, so you must also respect the 5th Commandment: "Honor thy father and mother." Since this is not a situation where your father is harming other people, it is not for you to go to the authorities. Instead, I ask that you set an example for your father by refusing to watch any ill-gotten cable programs.
Lisa: Hi, Dad. I think stealing cable is wrong, so I am choosing not to watch it in the hopes that others will follow my example. That's the last you'll hear from me on the matter. Thank you for your time.
Homer: Hey, Lisa... "Racing From Belmont"? Horsies!
Lisa: Sorry, I'd rather go to heaven.
Homer: [about Lisa] There's something wrong with that kid. She's so moral. Why can't she be more like...well, not like Bart...
Marge: But Homer, I’m afraid that cable has become an evil presence in our home.
Marge: No--
Marge: Oh, Homer.
Marge: No, Homer! Not--
Marge: No!
Lisa: I just want to call attention to the fact that I'm not watching this fight as my form of nonviolent protest.
Homer: [to Lisa when she just stares at him] Hey, go protest outside, will ya? Now!
Homer: [to Lisa when she's staring at him outside] Will you quit staring at me like that?!
Homer: Quick, Bart! Hide the stuff I borrowed from work!
Bart: Borrowed?
Homer: Alright, that stuff I stole from work.
Homer: I hate to interrupt your judging me, but I wanted you to know that I've made a couple of really important decisions. Number 1: I'm cutting the cable as soon as the fight's over, and Number 2: I'm not very fond of any of you.
Bart: [begging Homer not to cut the cable] Dad, I beg you to reconsider. Tractor pulls. Atlanta Braves baseball. Joe Franklin!

Lollapalooza Day Two: Post Malone, Bruno Mars, The National, Brockhampton and more highlight Friday’s best
The second day of Lollapalooza was jam packed with much variety and some of the hottest names in music today.
The three headliners couldn’t have provided more variety and something for everyone. Dillon Francis played the EDM main stage Perry’s, while Bruno Mars and National played the main stages on the North and Souh ends of the park.
Here is a quick roundup of the highlights of Day 2.
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars exploded on the scene in the early 2010’s and has been a hit machine ever since. His number one hits like “24K Magic,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” and “Uptown Funk” thrilled the massive Friday night crowd.
With loads of pyrotechnics, both on and above the stage, Mars had his usual theatrics.
The show was filled with many highlights but never gained true momentum due to the multiple breaks Mars took on stage. Still, it was a fitting Friday night headlining show.
The National
There are few better things than Matt Berninger’s voice. The soulful low voice is as soothing as anyone’s but also can be as haunting and strong as anything.
While they drew about 10 percent of what Bruno Mars did, The National went for quality over quantity. Ripping through a solid 18 song set spanning their many albums and hits The National played one of the best sets of the festival.
Post Malone
This was the set I was most looking forward to on Friday. The Texas rapper, singer, songwriter is one of the most interesting artists making music today.
His chart top success has made him a phenomenon and I was so curious to see how he would perform live.
What I was taken aback by the most is his humility, vulnerability, and joy in stage. It seems he loves performing and was genuinely taken aback by the love of his fans.
His vocals were solid but were masked by several layers of backin vocals that kept his true talent from shining. Like his tattoos covering his face the backing vocals covered the true singer and person he is and instead showed more of what he is trying to be.
I look forward to seeing him grow as a musician and develop more confidence in his talented voice. He is a star on the rise that deserves every bit of acclaim.

New Jersey: Protecting Life from Conviction to Natural Death
This morning as I was preparing to go to work, I heard that New Jersey had outlawed the Death Penalty. I'm sure this will make most people on the Left happy. After all, we have to protect potentially innocent people from being killed. Sadly, this same protection doesn't apply to babies in the womb or to those who are in a persistent vegetative state. This protection only applies to those who have been adjudicated guilty of the crime of murder with heinous circumstances. I guess innocence is in the eye of the beholder. Someday, if I can stomach it, I will critique the late Cardinal Bernardin's "Seamless Garment Theory."
Here, sadly, is the link:,4670,DeathPenaltyNewJersey,00.html
Shaughn said...
As someone who gravitates heavily toward a Federalist style of governance, I support New Jersey's decision to make a decision on the death penalty (if that makes any sense). As it happens, I would happily vote against the death penalty and abortion in basically every instance except when the mother's life is at risk.
But! The mentioning of those in a persistant vegetative state caught my attention. I'd like to share my recent mulling of the issue, within the context of the recent Terry Schiavo case:
So, we have two suppositions about Terry Schiavo.
1) Her soul departed from her body the moment she reached what has been proven medically via autopsy to be an essentially non-responsive state and went wherever the Good Lord intended for her to go.
In that instance, the body, then, has become an empty vessel that mostly caused pain for her husband and her parents. They were not able to grieve properly and, harsh though it may sound, get on with life.
2) Her soul did /not/ depart from her body the moment she reached what has been proven medically via autopsy to be an essentially non-responsive state, and she therefore could not depart to wherever the Good Lord intended for her to go.
Put another way, her soul was held captive in a non-responsive vessel for a decade, causing pain on a daily basis for her husband and for her parents. They were not able to grieve properly and, harsh though it may sound, get on with life.
I hope and pray, of course, that the first instance was the correct one. Otherwise, I cannot even imagine the state of her soul at that time. Was it like a decade long sleep, and then release? Or a decade of anguish and longing for escape?
This issue, I think, chafes a great deal with those concerned with life issues in a way that most euthanasia and abortion cases do not. That is, active euthanasia, when the patient is in any way coherent amounts to either suicide or manslaughter. Abortion, excepting perhaps when both mother and child would likely die in the absence of the procedure, amounts to murder or manslaughter of an unborn child (over which states, not the Federal courts, have jurisdiction, but that is, as they say, an issue for another entry).
In the case of a patient in a permanently non-responsive state, however, the relationship between life and eternal soul becomes muddied. On the one hand, we are dealing with human life--something created by and blessed by God. On the other hand, we are dealing with an eternal soul destined for God knows what, which is in a state where it can no longer willfully move either further away from or closer to achieving God's will with God's help. (I'm trying very hard here to avoid theological debates in the comments section over free will.) Essentially, a soul held in a non-responsive body cannot sin. It also cannot participate in receiving the Eucharist, which must be received willfully, or any other sacraments. It cannot pray or worship. It can exhibit no virtue or vice.
All such a soul can do is wait for the sleep of death, when it can finally go where God intends for it to go.
Now, in the forum where I posted this meditation, some objected that I was, in essence, "playing God." I don't think allowing someone to pass who is in a non-responsive state is playing God, so much as allowing God to play the role He normally would play, were it not for the marvels of modern science.
Unfortunately, one can cast Schiavo's case in two radically opposing lights. We might say she was allowed to die once her feeding tube was removed, or we might say she was starved slowly. Ultimately, I think cases like Terri Schiavo fall well within the boundaries of what the Archbishop describes as "extraordinary measures" in Anglican-Catholic Faith and Practice, but I'm sure glad I'm not making the decision. I do, of course, appreciate vigorous debate on the subject.
Thank you for posting this news article, Father. Be well!
The Rev. Robert T. Jones IV, Psy.D. said...
Two points:
1. The problem with the position that equates abortion and the death penalty as equivalent vis a vis the issue of life is that in the case of the death penalty, the state is exacting a severe penalty for the taking of a human life. That the state has the authority to do this is evident from both the bible, Christian tradition, and English Common Law and the Civil Law. In the case of abortion, the life that is snuffed out is absolutely innocent, save original sin. The problem with the "Seamless Garment" theory advocated by the late Cardinal Bernardin and Pope John Paul II is that it blurs this distinction between punishment of the guilty and murder of the innocent.
2. As to the Schiavo case, it is important to understand the distinction between a persistent vegetative state and a persistent non-responsive state. In a persistent vegetative state it is possible for the victim to have some understanding of their surroundings. They may even respond to the call of their name and/or external stimuli in their environment. A persistent non-responsive state, on the other hand, is even more murky. If by non-responsive, you include coma victims, there is significant evidence to suggest that coma victims may in some cases be able to understand the things that are occurring in their environment. So, in either case, it is a very risky path to needlessly terminate their lives. In Schiavo's case, the autopsy really would say very little about what she may or may not known in any type of conscious awareness.
In each situation, innocent life must be protected at all costs. Therefore, if a person has been adjudicated guilty of a capital crime, justice, both legal and divine, demand that satisfication be made. In the case of abortion and those in vegetative states, it is critical that we stand up for these helpless ones who are not able to speak for themselves.
By the way, it's not that I think that New Jersey does not have the right to abolish the death penalty, of course a state is able to determine what it considers appropriate punishments. I just think they made a poor decision.

A CREATIVE JOURNEY: ‘Tolkien’ is a satisfying biopic
encorepub.com - 05-21
“Why do they keep making movies about writers?” a movie-obsessed acquaintance asked last week. It was a question I had never considered, really. There have been plenty of movies about writers over the years—because writers can make fabulous protagonists. Stephen King has created a cottage industry of fictional stories about writers, like “The Shining,” “Misery” and “Secret Window.” What my friend was referring to are the biopics of real-life authors. It seems like actors are chomping at the bit to play their favorite cunning linguists, portraying legendary writers like Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson and Shakespeare, to name but a few.

The Power of IT: Data Centre Efficiency and Disaster Recovery in the Cloud
Topics Discussed:
• Trends driving data centre efficiency, including how data centres can accommodate growth, how to protect critical systems, and how to satisfy customer demands.
• How Hurricane Sandy demonstrated that good continuity planning involves redundant data centres, where equipment is located, and how to handle generator systems.
• Balancing the claims that the cloud has enormous economies of scale (and therefore is less expensive) and the efficiencies already achieved for some resources, such as computer storage
• Why a recovery point objective (RPO) and the recovery time objective (RTO) needs to be incorporated into disaster recovery (DR) plans to determine and to understand what happens if a particular process or application goes offline
• While power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a starting point for measuring a data centre's efficiency, other considerations such as carbon emissions, water-usage effectiveness, and energy sources are also important when determining how green a data centre really is.

Rambler 187 [The history of Anningait and Ajut concluded]
by [?]
No. 187. Tuesday, December 31, 1751.
Non illum nostri possunt mutare labores;
Non si frigoribus mediis Hebrunique bibamus,
Sithoniasque nives hyemis subeamus aquosae:–
Ominia vincit amor.
Vinc. Ec. x. 64.
Love alters not for us his hard decrees,
Not though beneath the Thracian clime we freeze,
Or the mild bliss of temperate skies forego,
And in raid winter tread Sithonian snow:–
Love conquers all.
Anningait, however discomposed by the dilatory coyness of Ajut, was yet resolved to omit no tokens of amorous respect; and therefore presented her at his departure with the skins of seven white fawns, of five swans and eleven seals, with three marble lamps, ten vessels of seal oil, and a large kettle of brass, which he had purchased from a ship, at the price of half a whale, and two horns of sea-unicorns.
Ajut was so much affected by the fondness of her lover, or so much overpowered by his magnificence, that she followed him to the sea-side; and, when she saw him enter the boat, wished aloud, that he might return with plenty of skins and oil; that neither the mermaids might snatch him into the deeps, nor the spirits of the rocks confine him in their caverns.
She stood a while to gaze upon the departing vessel, and then returning to her hut, silent and dejected, laid aside, from that hour, her white deer skin, suffered her hair to spread unbraided on her shoulders, and forbore to mix in the dances of the maidens. She endeavoured to divert her thoughts, by continual application to feminine employments, gathered moss for the winter lamps, and dried grass to line the boots of Anningait. Of the skins which he had bestowed upon her, she made a fishing-coat, a small boat, and tent, all of exquisite manufacture; and while she was thus busied, solaced her labours with a song, in which she prayed, “that her lover might have hands stronger than the paws of the bear, and feet swifter than the feet of the reindeer; that his dart might never err, and that his boat might never leak; that he might never stumble on the ice, nor faint in the water; that the seal might rush on his harpoon, and the wounded whale might dash the waves in vain.”
The large boats in which the Greenlanders transport their families, are always rowed by women; for a man will not debase himself by work, which requires neither skill nor courage. Anningait was therefore exposed by idleness to the ravages of passion. He went thrice to the stern of the boat, with an intent to leap into the water, and swim back to his mistress; but, recollecting the misery which they must endure in the winter, without oil for the lamp, or skins for the bed, he resolved to employ the weeks of absence in provision for a night of plenty and felicity. He then composed his emotions as he could, and expressed, in wild numbers and uncouth images, his hopes, his sorrows, and his fears. “O life!” says he, “frail and uncertain! where shall wretched man find thy resemblance, but in ice floating on the ocean? It towers on high, it sparkles from afar, while the storms drive and the waters beat it, the sun melts it above, and the rocks shatter it below. What art thou, deceitful pleasure! but a sudden blaze streaming from the north, which plays a moment on the eye, mocks the traveller with the hopes of light, and then vanishes for ever? What, love, art thou but a whirlpool, which we approach without knowledge of our danger, drawn on by imperceptible degrees, till we have lost all power of resistance and escape? Till I fixed my eyes on the graces of Ajut, while I had not yet called her to the banquet, I was careless as the sleeping morse, was merry as the singers in the stars. Why, Ajut, did I gaze upon thy graces? why, my fair, did I call thee to the banquet? Yet, be faithful, my love, remember Anningait, and meet my return with the smile of virginity. I will chase the deer, I will subdue the whale, resistless as the frost of darkness, and unwearied as the summer sun. In a few weeks I shall return prosperous and wealthy; then shall the roe-fish and the porpoise feast thy kindred; the fox and hare shall cover thy couch; the tough hide of the seal shall shelter thee from cold; and the fat of the whale illuminate thy dwelling.”

Back in 2016, the US and Australia struck a deal for the US to take over 1,250 refugees which was signed by the Obama administration.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia called President Trump earlier this year to remind him of President Obama’s pledge, to which our President famously replied in the leaked phone transcripts: “Here I am calling for a ban where I am not letting anybody in and we take 2,000 people. Really it looks like 2,000 people that Australia does not want and I do not blame you by the way, but the United States has become a dumping ground.”
Fast forward 10 months, President Trump has kept his word, the US has indeed not taken these refugees, Australia has by law (it lost a court case against a non-profit group) turned off the electricity in the camp with mostly Papua New Guinea refugees (which was repeatedly attacked by locals and hit with many riots inside it) who are now not wanting to move for fear of being aggressed by Australians.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="">@SatPaper</a> has brief brutal brilliant op ed on <a href=";ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Manus</a> <a href=";ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#asylumseeker</a> shame. And handy phone numbers. Which I just called. <a href=""></a></p>— Sian Prior (@sianprior) <a href="">November 3, 2017</a></blockquote>
Over the weekend, in view of damning press coverage in Australia about the inhumane conditions of these refugees now, there was an offer from the newly formed left-wing government of New Zealand.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told her Australian counterpart that they would gladly accept 150 of those refugees, which Mr Turnbull has turned down, out of fear that such an acceptance would simply encourage more smugglers to ship a greater amount of asylum seekers to Australia.
Prime Minister Turnbull: "We will not have our immigration programme, our sovereignty, our borders outsourced to people smugglers."
Since the closure of the centre on 31 October as legally foreseen, the food, water, power and medical services were cut and the 600 refugees housed there are refusing to leave.
The Australian government wants to move them to facilities in the island's main town Lorengau at the expense of the Australian taxpayer, but the refugees fear more violent attacks by locals if they do so.

All of a sudden Australia understands it now has a problem to deal with.

That's the kind of fear that illegals SHOULD have in the US.
Americans have went from the bravest men in the world (It takes a special kind of bravery to storm Normandy - KNOWING you're 95% guaranteed to die) to the biggest pussies of all human beings. Seriously, it's downright embarrassing. These 'men' don't have the nads to protect their own children or women.

scattered ashes
She tossed him in the lazy river
From the dank and swampy shore
Onto the still surface of the slowly moving water
Leaving streaks of ashen grey over its shimmering surface
Already covered in swirls of springtime’s yellow pollen
And frothy orbs of dirty white foam
Created from the baby fall of rapids
Just out of sight behind the rivers last bend
Looking like the deflated suds
In the dirty water of a kitchen sink
The iron and silt made the water dark
With debris from the flood plane gathered
In front of large submerged rocks
Or in the elbows of the rivers turns
Stately bulrushes marking sentinel over the waterway
With thick patches of water lilies
Littering the shore line with a solid quilt of green
Patched with fragrant white and yellow flowers
Twigs and winters fall of water logged deadwood
Act as flotillas of respite to sunbathing
Dragon flies, frogs and painted turtles
Before slowly being carried downstream
Past the house perched high on top of the hill
The thick, fertile muck at the water line
A squelching barrier to entry
Into the cool water of the river
The hum of mosquitoes and black flies
Loudly bothersome irritants in your ears and on your skin
When under the shade of oak, maple, spruce and pine
Or pathways through giant ferns and blackberry bushes
The rasping of grasshoppers and chirp of crickets
Provide a cacophony of auditory stimulation
In the wooded silence of early morning
Heavy leaf cover and mossy ground
Absorb both the shoreline and forest noise
Of chickadees and hummingbirds,
Chipmunks and red squirrels
Flitting and scurrying in their search for seeds
Just over the tree tops on the horizon
The brilliance of the rising suns
Sharply angled rays of gold and silver,
Reflect heat and warmth over the dark waters
Through the light wafting of steam
Rising over the surface of the river
Magically snaking its way unseen
Through the timber in the distance
The air is rich with the scent of green
Of growing things and fresh, clean water
The heavy scent of decaying leaves
Thick black mud and wet earth
Connect you in a visceral way
To the land where you stand
And to the earth that brings forth life
In solitude she let him go
Back into the fabric of land and water
A part of him to stay there forever
The rest to be swept along the currents
Down the river and into the lakes
Through the countryside he loved
Over the falls and past the town
And into the tidal coastal river
Moving with the steady progression
Of time and infinite surety
Towards the Island Deltas
And into the open Atlantic Ocean
Where she placed him
You can not look for him
He is no longer there
There is no final resting place
With earthly remains scattered
His traveller’s soul is gone
To never be seen again
Yet there, everywhere you look
His legacy that of the sailor he was
Separated forever from the confines of land
Unreachable by the family he left
Returning to the place he loved
Amidst the waves on the oceans briny toss

always on edge
By: tashajoan
Mood: Anxious
Date: Jun 21, 2010
Music: None
i just always feel on edge and shake which i think makes everything worse coz im worrying about that. i dont know if it is coz my meds have just been increased but i just want it to stop like all of us i guess. i have noticed that things that have happened in the past that didnt bother me then are bothering me now and are coming up and effecting me which i dont understand either.... there is just so much i guess we dont understand and it effects us all in different ways............. just want to make sense of it all
Jun 22 2010, 12:01 am
As I've gotten older, I've realized certain things about things that happened in my past and I get angry about them. If I think about certain areas of my life for too long I start to feel really terrible. I just try to snap back and know that that's not how my life is RIGHT NOW, and try to focus on the things that are actually good in my life.
If your anxiety is having effects on your body, you might want to try deep breathing, anything to relax. I get a lot of chest pain, and I just try to breathe into the pain and think positively. It's very easy to let yourself get carried away on what will happen to your body, etc. The important thing is to try to relax. You may also benefit from meditation from time to time. Yoga is a really great way to work on learning how to keep your mind from racing for a little while.

Family Life
Still a Mom--No Matter Where Kids Are
June 25, 1988|JAN HOFMANN | Jan Hofmann is a regular contributor to Orange County Life.
Nobody had to tell me that Monday was the longest day of the year. For me, it seemed like an eternity.
The summer solstice marks the beginning of summer, but in my case it also signals the end of another season of parenthood. For most mothers, the empty-nest syndrome occurs once in a lifetime--once for each child, anyway. But my two little birds fly away every year to spend the summer with their father in Ohio, leaving the part of me that answers to "Mom" wandering around at loose ends.
No matter how much I anticipate it--and by May, believe me, I'm counting the days--the transition is always abrupt.
I spent Sunday the way I usually do, simultaneously answering questions ("No, you can't use your umbrella for a satellite dish. Not even if you line it with aluminum foil"), aborting arguments ("If you can't do it together without fighting, you'll have to take turns"), fixing meals, tripping over skateboards and shoveling clothes into the washer like a fireman loading coal on a steam locomotive. Please, let me make it through one more day of this, I begged silently.
The next evening, after handing my offspring over to a flight attendant who seemed all too nonchalant about the fact that these were children traveling--and changing planes-- alone , I hurried home only to find myself sitting in the middle of the house, listening to the refrigerator hum. The stereo I had complained about night after night was silent, and the dirty socks had disappeared from the floor. The house that seemed uncomfortably small months before when I couldn't find refuge from a two-hour "Jetsons" TV special had been transformed into a vast estate.
For 10 months, I never seemed to have enough time to do it all. Now, suddenly, I had too much time, and I didn't feel like doing anything.
Nine years ago, their father and I decided to follow our own parental advice: If we couldn't do it together without fighting, we'd have to take turns. Like children, we wanted those turns to be even-steven, but we soon realized ours weren't the only demands on our children's time. They had school, they had friends, they had other relatives. So, like adults, we did in divorce what we were unable to do in marriage: we compromised.
By nature, compromises are less than ideal, and this one is no exception. For the children, life with parents who live 2,500 miles apart means that wherever they are, they're always missing someone. For their father, it means hearing about band concerts and Halloween costumes over scratchy long-distance lines, never seeing them. When there are tears after a disastrous day at school, he can't wipe them.
And for me, solo parenting means never being able to say, "Go ask your father." If I discover at 10 p.m. that we have only a tablespoon of milk left, I can't send anyone else to the store for another jug. It also means smiling--mouth shut--when I hear about how dad feeds them Pepsi and doughnuts for breakfast when he runs out of milk.
The one fringe benefit is that if I can somehow make it from September to June, I get some time off. But after being "on" so intensely, it's always difficult to make the switch. It takes about a week each year to realize that I can stop buying Oreos and hot dogs at the supermarket and that I don't have any reason to hurry home at night.
By the Fourth of July, the silence in the house no longer makes me nervous. And by the beginning of August, I'm settling into my new routine, only to glance at the calendar and panic when I realize the peace and quiet will only last a few more weeks.
On Monday, however, I wasn't ready to think about any of that. Until I knew the children had been safely delivered to their dad, I was still an active mother, however passive I felt.
I looked at the clock; where were they by now? Dallas? No, they were scheduled to land there two hours ago. So they should be on the way to Cincinnati. Or Philadelphia, if they didn't make the switch. Oh, well, I've got a friend there. I should have given them the number, just in case.
As part of my annual ritual, I got up and closed the doors to their bedrooms. For some reason, it's easier if I don't go in there, especially at first. I'm supposed to, though; the Cabbage Patch Kids stayed home this year, and I've been deputized by my 10-year-old daughter to give them their mandatory daily hugs.
I took Weird Al out of the stereo and replaced him with Bobby McFerrin, the tape my 12-year-old son can't stand. I made pizza-for-one and ate it in the living room--against the rules, but who was going to complain?
In the bathroom, I took a quick look around. My daughter forgot her toothbrush. Should I send it? No, she'll have another by the time it gets there. I put the Band-Aids away and the lid back on the shampoo. I soaked decadently in the tub, and for once, nobody knocked on the door and asked me to please hurry.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Buenos Aires
A Japanese garden in Palermo
A Japanese garden in Palermo
Welcome to Argentina! Renowned as the 'Paris of South America' and the 'Queen of El Plata', the capital city of Buenos Aires is defined by passion. This is exemplified in the rich tango heritage and its citizens' limitless enthusiasm for fútbol (soccer), which is far and away the country's most popular sport.
Day 2: Buenos Aires City Tour, Dinner & Tango Show
Al fresco diners in San Telmo's Dorrego Square
Al fresco diners in San Telmo's Dorrego Square
After breakfast, you'll join a fascinating tour for an overview of Buenos Aires as well as a better understanding of Argentina’s history and culture. During this three-hour tour, you will visit Retiro as well as Avenida 9 de Julio, South America’s widest avenue. Along this street, you'll see the Teatro Colon, the continent's most opulent opera house, and the iconic Obelisco monument.
You will also pass through the historic and architecturally impressive city center, home to the Congress Building, Plaza de Mayo, Avenida de Mayo, and the Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace). Then, walk along the upscale waterfront promenades of Puerto Madero before heading to the oldest neighborhood in the city, San Telmo. Afterward, you'll stop by La Boca, the city's original port.
In the evening, enjoy a scrumptious meal accompanied by free-flowing wine and a tango show, one of Argentina's most iconic cultural highlights. After this memorable experience, you'll head back to your hotel to relax for the night.
Day 3: Gaucho Experience at Estancia Santa Susana
Argentinian gauchos in colorful garb
Argentinian gauchos in colorful garb
Just as North Americans have their cowboys, Argentines have their gauchos. This frontier culture is strongest in the pampas (prairies) immediately surrounding the capital since this is where the country was first settled. Gauchos are national symbols in Argentina, whether it's the real-life horsemen who still exist today, or the folk heroes of epic Argentine poems, like Martín Fierro, whose stories are passed down over generations.
After lunch, you'll be treated to more entertainment. The gauchos will continue to showcase their abilities, this time as they perform a series of feats known as carreras de sortijas (ring races). These are typical in gaucho equine competition and showcase the cowboys' great skills on horseback. You will end the day at the estancia with a late-afternoon serving of mate, the popular tea-like infusion that is an indispensable part of Argentine culture.
Day 4: The Argentine Culinary Experience
Sample the incredible wines of Argentina
Sample the incredible wines of Argentina
To truly get to the heart of Argentine culture, you must do so one bite (and sip) at a time. While its cuisine may be defined by its beef, a closer inspection reveals a more eclectic array of dishes. And being the hotbed of activity that it is, Buenos Aires is the perfect place to learn about this culinary heritage in a fun and entertaining way. This is where the Argentine Experience comes in, allowing you to take part in a convivial gastronomic odyssey that celebrates great Argentine food and wine.
Hosted in the trendy neighborhood of Palermo, guests at this unique "dinner party" share a table while enjoying gourmet food and the country's famous wine (such as the Malbec varietal). Professional hosts guide you through the evening and explain the uniqueness of Argentine culture and how it reveals itself in the nation's food. You'll learn how to seal empanada dough using the traditional repulgue folding technique, and learn how to make delicious alfajores (Argentine cookies). You'll also learn how to prepare your own maté, an herbal tea that is the lifeblood of the country.
You'll begin the evening by preparing three different kinds of wine cocktails as well as some delicious tapas to pair with them. As you progress through the night, you'll also try different boutique wines from the house cellar. By the time the experience ends, you will have enough first-hand knowledge of the traditional food and drink of this country to practically be considered an Argentine gastronomic expert!

Investor's Corner
Ron Baron doesn’t want TSLA investors to forget about SpaceX
Despite multiple consecutive delays, Falcon 9 B1058 still has a shot at beating a rocket reuse world record. (NASA)
Many Tesla investors are in it for the long haul, not looking to let go of even a fraction of their holdings for several years based on increased demand expectations. However, other opportunities to invest in hot companies are still available, and new companies will come out with IPOs in the future. One of them is another Elon Musk-headed entity called SpaceX, which Ron Baron, a legendary investor and TSLA shareholder, doesn’t want to get swept under the rug.
Despite Tesla’s overwhelming success in the market, which has made Baron a substantial $1.5 billion sum, other investments will be available. SpaceX, while not publicly traded at the current time, could be eventually. Baron believes that the aerospace company, which has massive financial backing and support from NASA and works directly with the American space administration, could be as big as the electric automaker eventually.
“In SpaceX, I think that has a chance to be just as large as Tesla. We’ll see,” Baron said during an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box on October 14th. Baron used the interview also to outline Tesla’s path to a $2 trillion market cap.
But SpaceX also holds a substantial place in Baron’s investment-savvy mind. While Tesla remains a primary focus because it is currently traded, Baron is looking for other opportunities to increase his portfolio’s value.
SpaceX is the answer to expanded the valuation of Baron’s massive holdings.
Baron is currently a private investor in SpaceX and explained that he could not talk much about its future plans. He did state that he has “probably a 1%” stake in the company. However, he is bullish on SpaceX, too, and wants investors to recognize that he is not only a “Tesla guy.”
“When I go to restaurants, we sit on terraces. People will comment to me, ‘Oh, there’s the Tesla guy.’ What I want to be known as, ultimately, is not just the Tesla guy, but also the SpaceX guy,” Baron said.
In terms of future outlook, Baron doesn’t believe that SpaceX will be a minuscule company compared to Tesla.
“In SpaceX, I think that has a chance to be just as large as Tesla. We’ll see,” he added.
Nobody, not even Elon Musk, knows when or if SpaceX will become a publicly-traded company. Nevertheless, on September 28th, Musk stated that the company would likely “IPO Starlink, but only several years in the future when revenue growth is smooth and predictable.”
Starlink’s public beta is set to begin when the most recent batch of satellites reach their target position, Musk also said in a tweet in early October. Once the internet service has a few years of consistent and reliable operation, it will likely become another publicly-traded company that Musk fans will throw their money toward in hopes of expanding their portfolio.

Make an Impact - Complete the Census
Every 10 years, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), the U.S. Census Bureau literally counts everyone who lives in the United States and its territories. It is a snapshot in time. Responding is in your and our community’s best interest.
It has never been easier to respond, whether online at 2020Census.Gov, over the phone at 844-330-2020, or by mail – all without having to meet a census taker.
The census is important for many reasons. First, an accurate census count is crucial to ensure that you are represented in local, state, and federal government. The count determines each state’s number of seats in the House of Representatives and votes in the Electoral College and exactly where people live in the state influences congressional districts, state legislative districts, and even city council districts.
Finally, census data provides for all kinds of critical social research to better understand and assist certain populations across the country.
So complete your 2020 census today. The next 10 years depends on it.

Trump paints Biden in a picture many don't recognize
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump is increasingly trying to run against a Joe Biden of his own making.
Rather than look for campaign ammunition in the former vice president's long track record of politically vulnerable votes and policy proposals, Trump has instead chosen to describe Biden as a godless Marxist bent on destroying the country with a radical agenda that would make Che Guevara blanch.
The caricature is one that neither Biden's critics nor supporters recognize - but it's one Trump continues to promote.
To hear Trump tell it, the former vice president and longtime U.S. senator is "the most extreme left-wing candidate in history." Biden is going to "abolish the police" and "abolish the suburbs." Biden is even "against God."
In lobbing such extravagant attacks on Biden, Trump has concocted a profile of the presumptive Democratic nominee at odds with much of Biden's personal and professional life - a cartoonish depiction so distant from the reality of Biden that the hits don't always resonate.
"Generically, can you successfully paint a caricature of your opponent and be rewarded at the polls? Yes," said Pia Carusone, a Democratic ad maker. "But you can't just do that without understanding the greater context that the attack is falling in, and we're in the middle of a health and economic catastrophe and people are very pessimistic about what they're hearing from candidates and elected leaders."
For instance, Goldstein added, the criticism of Al Gore as a serial exaggerator during the 2000 presidential race was effective because Gore did have a habit of embellishing or misspeaking - claiming he and his wife were the inspiration for the younger lovers in the 1970 book "Love Story," or saying that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet" - and his opponents exploited that weakness.
"The skill is translating a big opposition research book into a coherent theme, and they've not succeeded in that," he said.
Some attacks - including Trump's recent assertion that Biden is hostile to religion - seem to land far from their intended target.
"He's following the radical left agenda, take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God," Trump said Thursday in Ohio. "He's against God. He's against guns."
Asked about Trump's seemingly incongruous attack on Biden - who was raised Irish Catholic, attended Catholic schools and still frequently carries rosary beads in his pocket - Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh noted that Biden has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood's political arm and pointed to his positions on issues such as federal funding for abortions and school choice.
"These are things that people with strongly rooted religious beliefs disagree with," Murtaugh said.
The president has tweeted several times the sentiment that Biden is simply "a Trojan Horse for the Radical Left Agenda." And a new ad by the Trump campaign ominously warns, "The radical left has taken over Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Don't let them take over America."
Murtaugh explained the campaign's theory of the case: "Joe Biden is a shell of a candidate, and the left knows it and they're filling him with their ideas."
Jason Miller, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, said that regardless of Biden's record, he has now fully embraced the most liberal tenets of the Democratic Party.
"Biden has adopted the policies of the radical left, and that's everything from taxes to the Green New Deal to killing millions of American energy jobs to open borders to being soft on crime," Miller said. "I've never seen a Democratic nominee take a leftward lurch after they've secured the nomination, but I'm not going to talk him out of it."
Both Miller and Murtaugh pointed to a new ad from a pro-Biden super PAC, which features Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., touting Biden's progressive credentials. "Whether it is health care, whether it's the environment or climate change, whether it's education, whether it's in the economy, Joe Biden would be the most progressive president since FDR," Sanders says in the 30-second spot, referring to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Nonetheless, sometimes even Trump seems unconvinced by own argument against Biden. Speaking at a rally in Tulsa in June, the president seemed to undermine his claims that Biden would lead the country down a socialist path.
"Joe Biden is not the leader of his party," Trump told the crowd. "Joe Biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left, and he's not radical left. I don't think he knows what he is anymore, but he was never radical left."
The Trump campaign has simultaneously tried to depict Biden as both overly harsh on fighting crime - a reference to the 1994 crime bill that he helped write - and too soft on crime, likely to defund the police and allow protesters to run rampant in the streets.
Trump Facebook ads warn of "dangerous MOBS of far-left groups" rioting and wreaking "mayhem" across the country. And an ad released last month shows an elderly woman home alone, unable to reach the police as an intruder breaks into her home and attacks her.
"Both things are true," Murtaugh said. "Joe Biden wrote the law that led to the incarceration of generations of Black men and now he is too weak to stand up to the anti-police extremists in his party."
"When you're just throwing spaghetti against the wall, and mindlessly creating cartoon versions of characters that don't exist, no one is going to believe you," Ducklo said. "Turns out shouting angry lies not based in reality is a pretty bad way to try and distract from your horrific job protecting American lives during a pandemic that continues to spiral out of control on Donald Trump's watch."
Carusone said Trump's attacks are missing the mark in part because they don't take into the account the deadly coronavirus pandemic - which has left more than 159,000 Americans dead - or the ongoing racial justice protests.
"They seem to be using cheap and easy stuff that could maybe work in a congressional race somewhere where the stakes don't feel as high, but we're choosing the leader of the free world and people are suffering the very real consequences of a lack of leadership," Carusone said.
This is the very contrast the Biden campaign hopes to draw, an adviser said, largely refraining from directly attacking Trump in favor of highlighting stark contrasts between what they say is Trump's mishandling of the pandemic, compared to the promise of Biden's steady leadership.
Rita Kirk, a professor of political communication at Southern Methodist University, said that in part because of the pandemic, Trump has found himself pivoting from his early attacks on Biden as "Sleepy Joe" to ones more rooted in fear.
"We weren't really afraid of somebody who was just Sleepy Joe, but we might be afraid of someone who is going to take away our guns," Kirk said.
The Trump campaign has continued to mount intermittent attacks challenging Biden's mental acuity - though the president ranks lower than Biden among voters on the issue. A July Fox News poll found that 47% of registered voters said Biden has the mental soundness to serve effectively as president while 39% said he did not; on Trump, 43% said the president was mentally sound versus 51% who said he was not.
Yet as Trump and his team have raised questions about Biden's mental prowess, they have also arguably lowered the bar for Biden's coming debate performances against Trump.
And so, this week, Trump's advisers started trying to raise expectations, even if that means undercutting one of their attack lines against Biden.
"Joe Biden is actually a very good debater," Miller told The Washington Post. "He doesn't have as many gaffes as he does in his everyday interviews."

Taiwan laptops more expensive with lower specs? Whaa?
Apparently, Taiwan laptops and components, even Acer, Asus and other Taiwan brands, are incredibly overpriced and missing specs!
I’m looking at Newegg and Amazon, to compare. An MSI mid tier gaming laptop of a specific model is $1500. If I look in Taipei at that ZhongXiao area in Syntrend area or pc home it’s terrible! The same laptop will be a slightly different model name, but exact specs and such, only HALF the ram, lower SSD capacity, and $500 more almost consistently. Even lower ends are $500 more. Then the average laptop is 4gb ram which is ludicrous. Even the super expensive ones.
Then it gets worse, instead is brushed aluminum it’ll just be some form of heavy plastic. In my comparison, the USA version is 3lbs,the Taiwan version is 5.9lbs. Wild!
It seems that im just looking at the wrong models right? No! Totally the same with all models I’ve compared. Like 1 model number difference at the end, 1/4 the specs gone and $500 more. Crazy.
Is there a magical site that ships reliably to Taiwan? Even $200 shipping fees would save a fortune.
PS, this seems like the forwarding business for laptops would be extremely profitable :stuck_out_tongue:
I know that North America always gets the newer stuff first, like 4k screens and etc. And you dooooo have to bargin in Taiwan. But i don’t see the same model being 500 more.
It’s true. I have screenshots on my desktop showing pc home vs Amazon. Even if you exclude sales. I also just remembered even the graphics card was 1 tier lower.
Then for other laptops, I got one for my wife a few months ago. Paid $600 and $120 shipping for a laptop with about 20% higher specs than the Taiwan slightly different model (Taiwan exclusive last digit model difference) and 26 percent cheaper AFTER considering shipping lol. That wasn’t $500 cheaper, but still a significant amount.
idk about PC home, I go to guanhua. Price is about the same, but you do not get the same as the best and newest specs the north american ones get or you have to wait.
Post the screen shots and/or the links, I’d be very surprised if there was 500 in the difference.
Buy it from the US. Amazon shipping fees should include duties and other taxes.
Careful there. I’ve done that and Amazon claimed duties are paid in advance. However, once it arrived, it was held in customs until I paid a duty fee on it. Double duty happens a lot and the cost can be hefty.
I haven’t looked at laptops but most other tech gear I want to purchase here is more expensive than the US or often Canada. $500 difference doesn’t seem that outrageous if the price was on a sale item.
Could be the reason. Like I said. They roll out the newest model out first in North America. Could have been out for a while and the same thing just came here. Plus it’s holiday times so a lot of stuff goes on sales there.
I agree. Perfectly plausible. I’ve no idea what’s going on, but stuff that was (10-15 years ago) noticeably cheaper in Taiwan than in the UK is now much more expensive. I need a new laptop but won’t buy one here.
Some sort of weird tax thing to “protect” manufacturers, I guess.
Yea I just bought a laptop, and I saved over $300 usd buying it on amazon and shipping it here, including the taxes and shipping. Taiwan is overpriced as hell.
To be fair, amazon often sells things for even cheaper than the official retail store or site of things. My baseball glove is 499$ retail and only sold for North America version. Taiwan and Japan uses different cow hides because they like gloves stiffer here. I got it on amazon for 350$ compared to the mizuno site that has it at 499.
And sometimes be prices change depending on stock on amazon. I bought a tv that retailed for 2000 for 1500. I saved an extra 100 from 1600 for waiting a day actually.

A quick check shows that with “similar” models, there is some “pre-fee” savings is available from Amazon.
My Chinese is a little iffy, but I did what I could.
To wit…
Even with the ghastly small 256GB SSD, that is a hell of a bargain!! (seriously, who is the genius who thought a 256GB SSD would be big enough? at least you can swap it out, or add a 1T hybrid for storage)
pfft. In 1989 my office computer was five feet high with a couple of 200MB HDAs and 500MB tape cartridges, and we thought that was awesome. Plus, we had a lot more blinkenlights than you get these days. I dunno, kids these days, don’t know they’re born.
My office SSD at the moment is 240GB with space to spare. :grandpa:

I buy almost all my electronics outside of Taiwan because they are cheaper, are newer better models, and more variety.
I went to Syntrend last night and bought an MSI Raider. I7, Nvidia gtx 1060, 16gb ram, 256ssd+1tb 7200rpm storage. 15 inch. Was $1900 USD. Amazon has 1070 version, dupe specs/model for 2499 base price. In the end I sucked it up because of 2 year included warranty where they come to your house to fix, no customs issues or shipping fees. And I get it now.
In the end, it’s more expensive for lower specs, but the long included warranty plus other small benefits of buying retail sold me.
(I’m a game dev, tired of only working from home 10hrs/day on my desktop lol)
What seems to be done is that they’ll take out the ram. Then charge more for upgrading ram that should already be there. And the graphics/SSD they’ll start at 128.
So like you see this badass gaming laptop with a shameful 4gb of ram and 128ssd. You can’t even open 10 chrome tabs with that on windows 10.
Its the same for Microsoft surface.
The standard config in Taiwan is 4MB Ram and 128 SSD.
That’s just too little for an expensive and otherwise Veey nice laptop. So of course they push you to pay even more for the 8MB and 256SSD.
Also they had limited choice of colours.
(I check on Amazonand the different was neglibke on pricing…Maybe cos new product so no cheap deal in US and pricing controlled by Microsoft).
Huh? I don’t use chrome but there’s no way it’s so memory-hungry. And if it really is it’s perhaps time to ditch it.
I have a i3 4GB laptop and run Firefox with 20+ tabs, it consumes about 70% memory. This may look like a big number but the truth is it’s fine because Win 10 manages memory in different way than previous ones - it’s being adjusted on the fly with more efficient paging and priority systems.
Therefore I can also run some extra programs like Open Office, foobar etc on top fo that and the system is still very snappy - and I’m super sensitive to any desktop lag.
That’s an aside from the OP: I do agree Taiwan is generally overpriced when it comes to tech, or at least not cheaper, something I would think logical since so many of these things are made here.
I will also wait until im back home. Here the Razer Blade pro costs around 700€ more.
What I want to know ist, why would the local customers pay more for less?

A small southern California city in Los Angeles County. It has a population of 20,000 and life here is somewhere in-between living in a charming small town, and EVERYTHING WRONG with a suburb. It's filled with nice but clueless adults and cool but sketchy teens. If many people would take five seconds to look away from the big houses and palm trees, you would see that it's not uncommon to find a used needle next to the sidewalk or have a bottle thrown at you while walking through a parking lot.

A middle-aged white male that (usually) lives in a Southern California suburb. They are slightly overweight with a chubby face and balding. They will wear a baseball cap with sunglasses, short-sleeve shirt, cargo shorts, white socks with sneakers. They spout liberal propaganda any chance they get (which is strange because they come off as strict). They are often completely clueless about the world around them, because they will read a random statistic off of the local newspaper about how their community is "the safest in the tri-county area" and they will take it as fact and then lecture kids about how "good they have it" no matter how many incidents of crime affect those kids or show up in their neighborhood. And when it happens they often will brush it off as "kids being kids" because they did that when they were younger so they think it's normal. A California Dad is one of the most useless people you will ever meet.

A place in Agoura Hills, CA where all of the wannabe-gangsta-brainlets of the area go to do god-knows-what. The "city" itself is the underside of the road bridge in the Avalon condo-complex. It consists of a large graffiti-covered wall, random pieces of trash, and torn-up furniture that each have their own stories.
In order to get to this spot you must travel to the edge of Chumash park (near the condos to the south of the baseball diamond), enter the ravine where Medea Creek flows, and walk through the plants and trees along the left wall for a little over a minute, and you will reach G city.
While the majority of it's visitors are dumb high schoolers looking to waste their lives away, some pretty sketchy characters are known to lurk here,

A school district in the southwest pocket of Los Angeles County, CA (Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Calabasas, Eastern Conejo valley). It has many glaring problems. Including, but not limited to, the higher-ups being so hippie-dippy that they do not having ANY security at any of their schools. The only "security" that the schools have are the local sheriff's deputies, who could care less about their jobs because they are completely powerless. It's also famous for having abusive teachers who will scream at you for just accidently wandering into the teacher's lounge, or will yank your arm around because you aren't understanding a math problem. Though they don't get in trouble, because when something happens, they just get transferred to a different school like aggressive killer whales at sea world. The principle of Lindero Canyon Middle School was transferred, not because of business reasons, but because of how much she bullied kids and just didn't do her job correctly. In fact, I think she got PROMOTED. The teachers who aren't straight-up abusive are far-left commies that will shove "America bad" propaganda down your throat any chance they get. Students who do things like...... THROW WATER AT TEACHERS, DO get arrested by the school cop, but they are allowed to show up in class the next day so that the school can maintain it's "blue ribbon schools" status. If you are able to survive any of the schools belonging to this district, then you have my FULL respect.

Pence Is On Point
Trump’s Secondhand Man
Get Your Patriot911 Newsletter In Your Email Inbox
Pence is the pointman for the Trump Administration. Mike Pence has been a loyal confidant and stalwart enthusiast to President Trump and his administrative policies from the get-go of his embattled presidency. Pence is proving to be an effective spokesman for the administration and a secret weapon on the campaign trail making a valid case for a second term of the Trump * Pence ticket this November.
Pence actually stepped on stage at his scheduled 4:00 pm start time. He was greeted by an excitedly cheering audience eager to welcome a second term on Inauguration Day in January 2021. The Vice President is a grade A speaker and delivered an award-winning address that represented solid content and several specifics as to why President Trump deserved a renewed presidency. Pence encouraged the crowd to join him on the campaign, “Let’s go get it done.” Pence then proceeded to shake hands with supporters in the audience.
President Trump and members of his family, Vice President Pence and his wife, and selected guest surrogate political speakers are out on the contentious campaign trail speaking at outdoor events to combat contracting the Wuhan virus in promoting the successes of the Trump * Pence Administration and its bid for a second term. Trump supporters appear to split between those who wear masks and those who eschew wearing facial protection.
One unanticipated campaign bonus was the surprise pleasure of watching a live feed of President Trump on a compact video screen speaking outdoors on an airport tarmac at Prescott, NV. Trump was animated and humorous enticing the assembled waiting on Vice President Pence to appear inside the airport hangar. Supporters burst into spontaneous chants as the President was engaging his live audience.
Pennsylvanians turn out in support of Pence
Steve Mowery, 60 from Penn’s Creek, felt Pence did very well during the debate and did a smash-up job explaining the importance of voting and reasons why on the dais. Mowery said Pence should do well in 2024 as other Republicans seeking the GOP nomination. He liked that Pence promoted values and demonstrated his solid support for President Trump and traditional Americanism.
Dylan Morris, 18 from York, will be a first-time voter once he registers to vote later after the Pence Rally. Morris backs the Blue, the Second Amendment, our military forces, and keeping the tax cuts in effect. In regards to President Trump he said, “I’m hoping we can make it another four. In my humble opinion, I think Trump handled the corona pandemic very well.” Morris also remarked, “We need Pence again in 2024.”
John Tallman, 71 from Dauphin, commented his thoughts on the Vice Presidential debate, “Pence did an excellent job. He made a measured, careful response under assault”. Tallman reflected upon the impending election, “It’s a choice between the America I grew up in and am proud of verses a gigantic swing opposite to what I believe in for America.” He further stated, “Pence has two family members serving in the U.S. military. I am doing what I can to get people to register to vote.”
Miranda Viehman, 23 from Mechanicsburg, thought, “Pence did a good job and his responses were well done”, during his debate opposing Harris. She was satisfied with Pence’s speech complimenting our military and his position encouraging small businesses during this trying time. Viehman believes, “Pence would be great for 2024.” She revealed her grandpa got her registered to vote since she turned 18 years of age.

Asians demonstrate their support for President Trump
As this dreadful 2020 election season plagued by the pandemic hysteria begins to wind down, one group of people were noticeable at this Pence Rally in New Cumberland: Asians. Both Japanese citizens and Korean citizens had turned out in force to validate their overwhelming support for President Donald Trump. Their numbers were visible among the capacity crowd.
These enthusiastic Asians booked flights to participate at campaign rallies and travel among the states to attend as many Keep America Great events as they can during their extended stay in the USA. Asians were Trump brand decorated wearing Trump hats, tee shirts, masks, and waving various signs during Pence’s impressive speech.
One common motivation for these Asians in attendance is that they are all anti-communists. These foreigners are rallying behind President Trump because of his pressing an activist economic agenda to challenge the red communist Chinese government, the malevolent North Korean regime, and for his proclaiming that the USA will never submit or transition into the economic devastation of socialism or communism.
Many of these Asians belong to the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church. There is a local chapter based in Pennsylvania. Members were distributing leaflets and brandishing a large banner wildly extolling their support of President Trump. Following the rally, they held up their banner as people exited the hangar and then stood outside the facility at the entrance displaying their banner and waving Trump yard signs to the honking horns of passing traffic.
Akihiro Fukuda, 20 from Nagasaki, flew in from Japan as one of four travelling companions with a mission to promote President Trump’s reelection campaign. He is an active member of the Sanctuary Church who are avid anti-communists and passionate supporters of the Second Amendment. Fukuda announced, “I hope Trump wins.” His travelling party will remain in the USA through the remaining days of this contested election.

Which one is more humane? And which one is animal abuse? Sorry it’s off topic
Let me preface this; a few years ago, at night, a baby opossum would always come to me and hang out with me.. I would stay up and just hang.. no touching or nothing.. until it wandered off.. this happened several nights in a row.. one day I hear my dog in the back getting into a scuffle and see that he took baby posh (my nickname for it) and nearly killed it.. it was hanging on by a thread. I called out to my SO to come end it’s life to put it out of the misery and he couldn’t.. he wanted to just bury it alive! I said “NO FUCKING WAY” and took a shovel and ended it.. it sucked, I cried, I didn’t want to do it.. but I didn’t want it to suffer anymore!!
WELL!! More recently a close friend of mine had a peacock coming around often.. like everyday.. for months!! And she LOVED this peacock!! They are very violent so she never got to close but we all enjoyed watching him (I have been attacked by a peacock before so I am terrified but this was nice)
One day, she comes home from work. The drive way and yard were filled with feathers.. she ended up finding him being attacked by raccoons.. immediately calls me over.. by the time I get there this poor bird was screaming in pain (that’s the best I can describe it) and it was obvious he was going to die! So we loaded him up in the car, me in the back seat, holding him!! He was so close to death he wasn’t even fighting.. just screaming!! It was over an hour ride to the special hospital to put him down.. I feel like the most humane thing to do would have been to end it right there! I feel like they made him suffer so much!! Turns out, she wanted to get his feathers and have him cremated.. what would be more of abuse to you? Ending the misery as soon as possible? Or letting an animal live its last hours in horrible pain?
Update: not talking about blunt force trauma at all but severing the head.. I know it’s gruesome.. but in my culture, we did it regularly for food.. so it’s a little easier for me.. but in my mind I’m quickly ending it

Dads doing Dad things, in the Daddest ways possible
dir: Aaron Schneider
Tom Hanks is not just a dad to four kids, he is America’s Dad. It is a role superior even to Pope or President: he supersedes them in the White American Anglo-Saxon Protestant patriarchal hierarchy. In his role as America’s Dad, he created this gift to the Dads of the world, and gifted it to streaming service Apple TV+, during these troubling times where a lot of Dads are in quarantine and have run out of DIY projects in their respective sheds. This will keep them occupied for 90 or so minutes, so they won’t need to pause it too often for loo breaks.
In a different era the intent would have been to create something that everyone, in the so called Western world, would be able to give a copy of to their Dads for Father’s Day, after taking their dads to the cinema for the first time in decades, several months prior to the home release. But that world is gone. In some ways it’s even further away than World War II itself, because back in the 1940s, people were still able to go to the cinemas at least, even as the Nazis’ bombs were falling from the skies.
The world that exists now still has a surplus of Dads whose only subject of interest is that War, because they can speak of it comfortably (unless they’re from a German background), with enough distance, to celebrate the heroism of the men involved and men in general, those bonds of brotherhood unsullied by the presence of pesky women. Men being men, camaraderie, bonding, sexual prowess mockery, feats of strength, general dick measuring, casual racism, all that kind of stuff.
Greyhound fits snuggly within all those needs, so it’s going to be catnip for the right Dads. Almost any of the actual men who would have been in the navy back then are most likely either dead, being killed by their respective countries’ negligent responses to the coronavirus especially with regards to aged care facilities, or are having a nap right now, shh, let them rest, don’t wake them, they’re just going to ask for more painkillers.
Tom Hanks himself wrote the screenplay, and plays the main character, as the commander of a destroyer protecting a fleet of ships carrying war supplies to England. He is an older gentleman, commanding for the first time, and it’s 1942, so there’s plenty more war to come after these events. Unlike the other war film America’s Dad is best known for, being Saving Private Ryan, the intention with this flick is to keep the focus very narrow, and not to pontificate about the bigger picture of the whole world at war, just one guy on one ship, and his crew, trying to do a job. Hanks’s character already has the in-built personality or character of Tom Hanks. They call him Commander Ernest Krause, but no-one’s really fooled, it’s just Tom Hanks in another Dad role. We accept it, everyone else accepts it; it could even be what we need right now.
He commands a destroyer for the first time in his life, and these are not easy times. The German U-boats are sinking heaps of these Allied craft trying to make it to Liverpool for much needed war type supplies like pictures of Betty Page, cigarettes and candy bars. This doesn’t just represent war time supplies not getting through if they’re sunk; each of those ships has a lot of people on board, too.
A so-called wolf pack of submarines is trailing the convoy, and only Tom Hanks, I mean, the commander of the destroyer nicknamed Greyhound can protect the flock. Will he succeed?
Will he fuck. Sorry, inappropriate and such. This is the perfect dad film to watch with one’s olds, because there is no nudity, only one instance of swearing, a tiny bit of blood, and all the deaths mostly occur off screen. Perfect PG rated experience for those forced to watch movies with their elders in this horrifying era of the quarantine that never ends.
There’s only one woman in the entire goddamn movie, and she’s not even killing any of the Germans with her bare hands or anything. Elisabeth Shue appears very, very briefly at the beginning, at a Christmas get together with Tom Hanks where, considering the fact that Hanks’s character, like Hanks, is in his 60s, I guess? He has no business marrying someone who looks that great in her mid-50s. Still, when he whips out his offer of marriage and lays it on the table, she demurs, saying that, what with the war and all, maybe they should wait until less crazy times.
She could have just said “At our age, marriage is pointless, but I’ll string you along with the expectation that you’ll probably not make it, champ.” It seems more polite than a flat no. Still, for the purposes of the film, brief images as he remembers her will flash up on the screen, as if to remind us that he’s definitely cis hetero, despite all the time he’s spent in the Navy, and that instead of fighting for random ships, or the sailors on his ship, or America, or freedom, or liberty, or the right to not wear a mask and die, he is fighting so that he can get back To Her.
Aww. Isn’t that cute. On the destroyer his word is law. The various young chaps under him keep giving each other side-eye whenever he issues a command. As if to imply “what the fuck could this guy know about what we do?” But his random-seeming commands, never issued in anger, prove to be the right course of action at all times.
Just like a good Dad should. In this commander and this crew, with minor variations, we see the perfect male fantasy of technical competence surpassing any and all possibilities – if people know their job perfectly right, and perform it perfectly and at the right time, everything will be all right. Anything chaotic that comes along will be dealt with. Nothing can go completely wrong if only you all listen to Dads.
The vast majority of this flick is tightly paced engagements with the dastardly U-boats and their evil German commanders, or, occasionally, nearly running into some of the ships they’re trying to protect. Of course, they can’t protect all of the ships – we have to see what the consequences are if they can’t get there in time or slip up in their sacred duty. So a number of ships get sunk or blown up or both, with very few people being saved from the water. And the people on the Greyhound aren’t immune to gravity or physics either. Some of them will die before the mission is done, too.
When stuff is happening, it’s ALL happening. Because of the nature of communications from different parts of the ship, sonar or radar readings are relayed twice, orders are relayed twice, so we hear everything multiple times, yelled by super concerned men doing manly things, with all this unexplained naval jargon that Dads, the ones watching, will either know outright because of all the books about WWII they’ve read, or they won’t be able to bring themselves to admit they don’t know what they mean.
And the mantra continues – do everything exactly as you’re supposed to, and we will win. All of this is not only tightly paced, there’s also an insane high energy soundtrack keeping things, like the blood pressure of the Dads watching, dangerously high (but not too much, we don’t want to kill Dads, do we Mr Hanks, we just want to keep them engaged, like the last action-y bits of an episode of CSI or Midsomer Murders when it looks like the murderer might get away but then they confess after they get a good scolding).
There is also this crazy, no good, flat out bad, electro-dosed sound kinda like a cyborg whale wailing in pain; a keening, banshee sound whenever the Germans are almost in sight, to remind us that the thing Hanks and crew are chasing could always be there, ready to kill wholesome American sailors. And there’s no way this happened in real life, but there are a bunch of times when the commander of one of the U-Boats himself gets on the radio, to taunt the protector ships, and to tell them that they will kill them eventually.
He even mimics what is meant to sound like their dying screams. I know it’s meant to make them seem more fearsome, or like arseholes more deserving of death, but to me some of those times made me laugh. Talking shit is an artform, and arrogant Germans during a WWII movie are perfect for it. At one point I wondered if the rival German commander was going to ask Hanks to just die already, because he needed to get back to Dancentrum in Stuttgart in time to see Kraftwerk (RIP Florian Schneider, who died in May of this appalling year).
But Hanks cannot be hurried. The task will take as long as the task takes, there’s no hurrying things up. I think, based on the book by C.S Forester, that the character is meant to be devout but unsure of himself, or insecure about leading these men, or uncertain as to whether they will survive under his leadership, but in truth Hanks radiates competent calm, and every member of the crew hangs on his every utterance like it’s the word of God because they believe in God, being him. And all events, we can be reasonably sure, will go his way, even when at first they don’t.
Enough random things go wrong along the way in order to not make it seem like too easy of a cake walk. The commander, for all his good sense and expertise, cannot really keep the names of his crew straight in his head, and other than the name of his XO, or second in command, being Cole (Stephen Graham), he routinely mangles everyone else’s names. Even better, when his steward Cleveland (Rob Morgan), being the guy who prepares his coffee and meals, just for him, gets killed, and is replaced with another African-American steward, he calls him by the dead man’s name, which is, ouch, on so many levels.
Still, when he’s keeping thousands of people alive and his crew safe, we’re meant to forgive him his occasional lapses. For, you see, to be captain in such circumstances mean that not only does he have to handle the tension of not fucking up for four days, until they can get within aerial range of England, he doesn’t sleep for those four days, not trusting anyone to do his job while the stakes remain so goddamn high. He stays upright for all that time, so much so, that his feet start bleeding from being upright without pause. That is dedication. That is Dads.
That is what they bring to the table, and one of the many reasons why Dads, at least the good ones, are so loved by their kids. Just to clarify something, as if my multiple references to Dads is seen as sarcastic, considering I am a father myself: I am not a Dad, no no, not like the ones I’m referring to, to the type of Dads whose patronage is desired, and whose energy is captured here. No. I could only aspire to such greatness, and will never be able to approach that level of certainty or competence, that’s for absolute definite sure.
But I can certainly see the merits of these great Dads, and that’s why I salute them and Tom Hanks on this endeavor, for keeping me entertained for a nice and lean 90 minutes (none of this 2 hours 40 minutes bullshit like every other goddamn WWII epic). And while there aren’t nearly enough movies celebrating Mums, and too many catering to the egos and flaccid, um, preconceptions of many a (white, middle-class) manly men, I’ll graciously allow them this one. Just this once, though.
Greyhound – nothing too objectionable in it, and he should only fall asleep two or three times while watching it. Plus killer submarines!
7 times Tom Hanks will be a national treasure until the sea shall give up its dead out of 10
“I will always be looking for you, Evie. No matter where I am. Even if I’m a thousand miles away, I will be hoping I’ll see you come around the corner. Because when you do, it’s the greatest feeling in the world.” – this is the least compelling part of the film’s dialogue - Greyhound

My husband that he is too embarassed to go out outside the house with our daughter
(115 Posts)
gloucestergirl Mon 25-Mar-13 19:41:30
Basically that. I'd love lovely family days out, but our DD cries sometimes. She is only 1 and gets hungry and generally acts likes a baby. Husband gets embarassed by her crying and hates going out in public with her. He won't do baby things like going to the library or the local baby musuem as it is too boring. I am so disappointed in him as a father and feel so sad.
Loulybelle Mon 25-Mar-13 19:45:04
Your DH needs to grow up, because babies cry, and who told him parenthood was a barrel of fun constantly.
EggyFucker Mon 25-Mar-13 19:46:14
Eww, he sounds like a baby himself
I couldn't tolerate such a selfish and childish attitude
Tell him to grow the fuck up
TheOrchardKeeper Mon 25-Mar-13 19:47:12
That's ridiculous...
Have you tried to direct him to any websites with advice on how to just get on with it because that's what babies do and people who death stare you usually haven't had kids or are lucky & can suck it ?
Loulybelle Mon 25-Mar-13 19:48:06
My DD gets on my fecking nerves sometimes, but jeez im not embarrassed of her, thats such a cold thing for a father to say, and lazy too i may add.
TheOrchardKeeper Mon 25-Mar-13 19:48:50
I find you tend to get more sympathetic other-parents-I-feel-you-pain looks than the shut-your-brat-up ones!
Though the issue is more just him really, isn't it?

What was he like before the baby?
TheOrchardKeeper Mon 25-Mar-13 19:50:20
(oh...and it reeks of 'cop out' to me. Sorry)
JellyMould Mon 25-Mar-13 19:53:20
What's a baby museum?
lucidlady Mon 25-Mar-13 19:53:59
He is being an arse. What's he like with her generally?
elQuintoConyo Mon 25-Mar-13 19:55:41
What does DH do when DD cries at home? Perhaps if he tried/practised some calming techniques at home, he could use them while out and about. What would he think of a sling? Even at 1 they can still enjoy those, our DS loves his ergobaby and feels nice and cuddly with DH. He cries less and is more patient with everything (otherwise, like your DD, he can be a screaming monster noisy baby).
My DH is similar, but not to the point where he won't go out. He'll say, 'oh, everyone's looking', and I'll say, 'Fuck 'em'. Those with kids/who've been parents understand what it's like, those who are young, or fussy buggers can kiss my ass! I really thought I'd be mortified if I couldn't stop DS screaming, so on a bus, but in reality I do what I can to sooth him so at least everyone can see I'm making an effort. I actually surprised myself when DS came along as I really truly do not give a fig!
Perhaps your DH could throw a few phrases, like: kids, eh? oh dear, poor little DD, are your teeth hurting again? Let Daddy kiss it better. Hang on, milk's coming...
That kinds thing, it often gets more sympathetic looks from people and could diffuse the situation.
I'm very sorry he's acting like this. Could you get the support of MIL or B/SIL to kick him up the arse as well? So it's not all on your shoulders?
Good luck thanks
ZipItShrimpy Mon 25-Mar-13 19:57:19
Oh my Lord! I thought you were going to say she was 14 and was dressed in some bizarre fashion or something.
She is a baby! He needs to get a grip. Is he coping ok with parenthood generally?
arsenaltilidie Mon 25-Mar-13 19:59:06
Tell him you understand he may feel useless.
But he needs to grow up and get over the 'embarrassment.'
CognitiveOverload Mon 25-Mar-13 19:59:43
Sounds like he's not coping very well with fatherhood. You need to talk to him about what his expectations are and if they are realistic. Maybe he feels out of his depth. Maybe he isn't very paternal?
TheOrchardKeeper Mon 25-Mar-13 19:59:56
(It is worth seeing if he's got a mild depression going on. That can be a factor in things like this...if he's not rubbish with her at home etc)
fishandlilacs Mon 25-Mar-13 20:00:39
has he said that he is embarrassed? Is it a cover up for lack of confidence?
ProphetOfDoom Mon 25-Mar-13 20:01:21

BOEUF Mon 25-Mar-13 20:02:21
Replace the word 'embarrassed' with 'lazy', and you are probably closer to the truth.
I take it that he's ok with you enduring this awful humiliation, OP? Thought so.

Being embarrassed of you baby because she cries is silly... however I completely support him at not wanting to take a 1-year-old to the library or - barf - the baby museum...
defineme Mon 25-Mar-13 20:03:43
Has he honestly never noticed other babies screaming in public?
How is the rest of your relationship?
How is his life generally-work and so on?
tumbletumble Mon 25-Mar-13 20:04:01
Do you think he is really embarrassed? Or is he being a lazy selfish arse but thinks 'embarrassed' sounds better?
If he is really embarrassed by her crying, try suggesting baby friendly places where everyone will be accompanied by a child and half of them will be crying (ie soft play or the playground rather than a National Trust property). If he finds the library boring would he prefer something more active like taking her swimming?
defineme Mon 25-Mar-13 20:04:41
What was his childhood like?
NeoMaxiZoomDweebie Mon 25-Mar-13 20:07:28
My sister was embarrassed by being a parent....when she first had her DS1.
She felt weird and that she was not a real parent somehow. it went away eventually and no...she wasn't depressed. She just had some issue around her identity.
I think you should talk to DH about his own childhood.

I'm trying to connect Google Sheets to JIRA to gather the data for updating reports automatically.
I'm struggling however with a couple of points in this modified script.
I want to return the component field but calling the name field returns undefined.
var components = data["issues"][id].fields.components.name;
If I remove the name field, then I get the following response:
{name=#####, self=https://www.#########/rest/api/2/component/26357, id=26357}
The second issue is that only a handful of issues are being rendered. As far as I can see my REST call looks OK, as does the writing to tables:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); //select active spreadsheet
sheet.getRange(2, 1, issuessss.length, 7).setValues(issuessss); // write from cell A2
Anyone have any ideas that could help?
The field component is an array so components.name does not exist (i.e components[0].name would work).
Before setting the values, try to execute a flush first.

A Letter to People Surprised by My ADHD Diagnosis
Dear friends and family,
If you didn’t know already, I guess the cat is out of the bag. I have ADHD. I was just diagnosed at the beginning of the year, but I realized I have unknowingly been dealing with it for quite some time (basically my whole life).
You might be surprised. I get good grades. I do not jump out of my seat randomly or have random outbursts. I can sit and watch full episodes or movies on Netflix.
But these are not the only symptoms, and not everyone with ADHD has these symptoms. Everyone has different symptoms, and there can be differences between males and females.
My ADHD is displayed through my constant worrying and anxiety.
My tendency to constantly be on my phone, because I can change tasks often enough to satisfy my racing thought patterns.
My constant shifting in my chair, not because I am uncomfortable in the position, but because I have trouble sitting still.
My frequent typos even though I read and reread and reread what I type.
My love of exercising because it helps to relieve some of the extra energy I have so maybe I can keep my attention on an assignment for more than five minutes.
My lack of engagement in classes because reading for classes can be near impossible.
My constantly late arrivals because I try to brush my teeth, get dressed and make lunch all at the same time.
My loss of complete conversations because I could not focus on what you were saying despite my best efforts.
My last-minute assignments because the pressure of the clock is the only thing that nails me down in a seat to be productive.
My depression because sometimes I feel like I am 10 steps behind everyone else in classes and success is not possible for me.
I have been fortunate enough to have access to care that helps me. On my best days I am able to balance my time so I can complete work and decrease my anxiety. I am able to get something out of class and remember what happens after I leave. I feel like my head is in one place at a time, not five different ones.
You may not see a difference, but I cannot explain how amazing it feels to be in the moment.
As your relative or as your friend, I ask two things of you:
1. Please do not think of me differently, because I have not changed. I just now have a diagnosis for something I have always had.
2. And please do not hesitate if I bring it up. I want you to ask if you have questions. I want you to learn and understand me.
Still me

9 tips for writing essays in exams
By Lauren Condon on 5 October 2017Exam adviceHSIEEnglishNSWblog
Essay writing is enough of a struggle when there isn’t any time pressure. Add in a 40 minute limit and that’s pretty much breaking point for a lot of us 🙃 . Well don't stress too much because we're going to help out here with some tricks and tips for writing exam essays* that will actually show the HSC marker all of our killer ideas and skills. This might end up being a pretty hefty post so let’s get cracking straightaway.
*This basically works for things like speeches and long responses as well...
1. Pinpoint the instructions in the question
Before you even start writing, you need to be reading each word of that essay question super carefully. Make sure you’re following instructions and paying attention to the little things that are actually... big things. Do they want you to write a speech or an essay? Do they specify that you need ONE, at least ONE or TWO or more related texts? No excuses for skipping this step because you can just do it during reading time.
2. Draft a quick plan of the structure
Always, always, always plan your essays in an exam. Like… always. The kick of pure fear adrenaline when you start an exam can make it pretty tempting to get writing asap but save yourself a world of pain and take a few minutes to plan. You want to basically write down your thesis (probably one you’ve prepared earlier but tailor it to the specific question) and the structure of your body paragraphs. We go into a bit more detail on planning over here if you’re keen 👍 .
3. Manage your time in writing the essay and the whole exam
Two tips here (lucky you) but basically you need to manage your time in writing the essay and manage your whole exam time. So firstly, you have to leave yourself enough of the exam time to do your essay. If the exam is something like English Paper 1, you know that a third of the (two hour long) exam is an essay so you should be starting that essay with at least 40mins to go.
Hot tip: a lot of top students try to move through the first two sections of that exam fairly quickly so they have more time for a banging essay 💯.
When it comes to writing the essay, the structure you planned out will let you know if you’re on track or not. 40 minutes to write an essay and you have an intro, conclusion and four body paragraphs? Sweet. Well then it’s pretty clear that you should get your intro and the first two paragraphs done in 20 minutes. If you kind of messed up the timing of the whole exam and you don’t have your full 40 minutes then pick up the pace and if you can’t do that, time to make some quick decisions about what to cut.
4. Write out your evidence first so you don’t forget it
This isn’t a must but can be seriously helpful. Every essay needs evidence. It might be quotes, it might be dates, it might be stats. Even though you’ve definitely memorised these perfectly by the HSC (lol), it’s worth having a strategy for making sure you put all your evidence in. My personal tactic was, before starting to write the essay, to scribble that evidence (or just a keyword to jog my memory) down at the top of my planning paper or scribble it under the plan I wrote. That way, if I had a total mind blank when I got to writing a certain paragraph, I didn’t have to leave the evidence out or waste time trying to remember it.
5. Keep it structured
This one is pretty closely related to the point about planning but hey, can’t push it enough. The pressure of writing essays in exams makes it sooooo easy to start rambling and just chucking idea after idea after idea onto the page. Make a structure during your planning and be really strict about sticking to it to keep your essay as clear and strong as possible. Keep your paragraphs to a regular structure like PEEL/PEAL (point, example, explanation/analysis, link) so you have a clear idea of when you’ve written enough in each paragraph and when it’s time to just move on.
6. Have some potential theses and essay structures prepared
Memorising essays gets a little controversial but I think we all agree that you need to, at least, have a few ideas and potential essay structures going into that exam room. Some of us will try to remember whole essays word-for-word which isn’t officially recommended but as long as you are prepared to (and know how to) adapt it to the question then it shouldn’t be too bad. It’s really about finding out what approach works best for you but having some possible essays structures and flexible thesis ideas up your sleeve will make sure that you can write an impressive essay in just 40 minutes.
7. If you get stuck, your best bet is to pause for a second
Having a mind blank during an exam is not a good feeling because the clock is literally ticking and there isn’t a way you can magically force yourself to remember a quote or come up with an idea. It will feel pretty stressful but your best bet here is actually to pause and think instead of continuing to waffle on.
Waffling affects the clarity of your essay and the marking criteria about the ‘composing’ of your response. It also might affect how well the marker thinks you understand your argument so it’s always better to pause, give yourself a few seconds to try and reach a solution. If you can’t, either move on and try to come back later or just cut your losses, conclude that point and move on.
8. Don’t forget to anchor your essay with the keyword and source material
Not every essay will give you source material (a picture or quote that you have to refer to) but you will always have a verb or keyword in the question that tells you how to position your argument. When it comes to unexpected source material, here are some tricks and tips and when it comes to the keyword, let’s start by having a look at three questions pulled from the 2016 Advanced English Paper 2.
• Discuss means you need to pinpoint the issues raised by that statement and provide examples and analysis for and/or against each of those issue.
• How means you need to be providing really solid examples of contrast in Yeats poetry and explaining what that contrast says about personal concerns, political concerns and the relationship between the two.
• To what extent means you need to making a judgement call about how much the themes and ideas in your texts support (or do not support) that statement. This doesn't have to be black and white, you can always say that the texts support that statement in some ways and challenge it in other ways as long as you provide good evidence and analysis to back it up.
All those instructing verbs and keywords came from just one paper so brush on up exactly what they mean and how to use them to anchor your essay. Addressing the keyword and source material really well will show your marker than you are actually answering the exam question, not just chucking out a pre-prepared response.
9. Remind yourself of what the markers are looking for
The overall best tip for writing essays in exams is to remind yourself what your markers are looking for. And no, that doesn't mean you just try to tell your mysterious, probably middle-aged NESA marker what you think they want to hear.
Instead, think about your essay sensibly. Your marker wants to see how well you understand the texts and how the authors communicated those ideas. They want to see how well you understand the concept of Discovery and all its nuances (hint: they’re written out here). And they want to see how well you can bring all these ideas together and communicate them in a logical, cohesive manner. Don’t get too caught up in fancy language or insanely obscure techniques - you’ve got this.
Writing essays in exams really comes down to being as prepared as possible and having a good strategy for the exam itself. Make sure you’re managing your time and keeping calm enough to write the killer essay you’d be able to come up with outside of the exam room. Happy essay writing… 😬

The decline of Ole Miss, in one paragraph
Filed under Recruiting, SEC Football
10 responses to “The decline of Ole Miss, in one paragraph
That’s going to be one of the toughest salvage jobs in a long time. How would you convince a kid to come to a school that has had dismal seasons and changes coaches as often as baby diapers? Unless you find some that have just always wanted to wear the nifty helmets, you’re left with the ones that weren’t offered by other, more prominant programs. Ole Miss isn’t exacty swimming in prominance right now. But then, who wouldn’t take a million plus a year for the opportunity to give it a whirl?
2. Bryant Denny
I chuckled when they said Hugh Freeze’s recruiting connections helped him land the job. He’s still recruiting to Ole Miss.
With that said, it’s still an SEC job at a state school and i think Archie just had a grandson.
3. X-Dawg
I feel sad about the Ole Miss Rebears
4. Cojones
Screw’em. Let’s raid their pantry. Is there anyone in their sights that we want?
5. NRBQ
Heh-heh. You sad penal.
6. Will Trane
Go Rebs. Go Rebs.
One thing you can say for the Rebs they put down the Tigers in a rematch. Now can those boys from Bama do that.
If Bama drops game two to the Tigers, you can begin to write the closing chapter of Saban at Bama.
