The Importance of Washing Hands
A significant portion of individuals who wash their hands does not use soap. Similarly, most people wash their hands in a hurry, usually leaving them half-dry. Human hands are among the most mobile parts of the body, making them convenient means of spreading germs. People frequently touch parts of their faces involuntarily and sometimes without realizing that they allow harmful microbes into their bodies. Pathogens are also transferrable through objects, such as phones, utensils, and clothes. Therefore, keeping the hands clean is a crucial way of avoiding a vast array of illnesses. In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak changed the perception of handwashing, with multiple health and government agencies advocating for hand hygiene. Washing hands is important because it averts the spread of infectious illnesses and creates a safer working environment.
Fundamentally, proper handwashing helps combat multiple illnesses. Dirty hands harbor innumerable disease-causing microorganisms that can spread to other body parts. Gyi (2019) finds that “poor hygiene is a major risk factor for transmission of diarrhea” (p. 181). Thus, hand sanitary measures effectively prevent the contagion of bacteria and viruses that cause various illnesses. Most interventions of proper hand hygiene suggest the use of soap and water as the critical determinants of quality handwashing. Proper hand sanitation is also associated with preventing respiratory conditions, such as COVID-19 (Haque, 2020). Major

HR Management & Compliance, Recruiting
Employment Verifications: One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Imagine a stack of finalist job applications sits on your desk. One is the clear front-runner, but there’s a close second, a candidate who appears almost as qualified as the first. How can you be certain you’re hiring the most qualified candidate? A critical first step is to properly review those applications for potential discrepancies. In today’s job market, résumé discrepancies occur more frequently than you may imagine—as often as 30% of the time. According to CNBC, “Just one in six job seekers say they didn’t stretch the truth in any way during their recent hiring experience.” Of those who embellished their résumé, 79% reported they were never caught, and those discrepancies range from small adjustments to complete fabrications.
Armed with these facts, how can you confirm what a candidate’s job experience and credentials tell you? And if everybody’s stretching the truth, does it matter for this position specifically? These are questions hiring managers face regularly.
How Much Does Résumé Accuracy Matter?
Beyond the moral implications of truthfulness during the hiring process, understanding the relevancy of résumé accuracy depends on the position, company, and circumstance. For instance, a medical professional exaggerating previous experience could have far-reaching health, safety, and regulatory implications. In contrast, a customer service representative who exaggerated his or her degrees could still possess the ability to perform the job successfully.
Historically, prospective employers would verify an applicant’s history listed on a résumé via manual phone calls, or even faxes, to previous employers. However, these methods often lengthen the overall time to hire due to unresponsiveness and can be subject to human error. Many employers have moved to more automated systems to check and confirm prospective employees’ backgrounds and résumé details. The challenge with these services is that the information can be outdated and expensive, so it is important to ensure the checks are thorough.
According to background screening and employment verification best practices, different roles require different levels of verifications, which means avoiding a uniform policy. As previously noted, a call center candidate may not need the same level of application and résumé review as a prospective CEO. In general, jobs with higher risk—accountant, doctor, lawyer—warrant investment in more thorough background checks and employee verification measures. Thankfully, there are multiple options when determining the type of employment verification needed.
A Custom-Fit Approach
For low-risk roles, companies could simply trust the candidate to provide an accurate and honest assessment, especially because once the candidate is hired, the company can quickly see if the employee failed to fairly present his or her abilities. Or, focus on the most recent and/or current role in verifying employment. When choosing this approach, factor in the cost of rehiring for the role if necessary.
Companies needing a more accurate and effective balance of risk might choose a candidate-driven process to verify previous employment—for example, asking a candidate to upload information of proof of employment history, such as a W-2 form or related documentation from a current or previous employer’s payroll or other HR system. A good candidate-driven process can reduce cost per verification and improve time to hire for employers while ensuring strict security standards and robust monitoring. For candidates, it provides a simple, easy, and instant verification experience that allows more control over the dissemination of information to their prospective employer, eliminating the risk of their current employer discovering their job search.
In the end, employers should assess the risk associated with a role and measure against the time and cost associated with the background check in general and the employment verification in particular. This inflection point determines when and how companies should invest. As with any hiring policy or process, it is equally important to remember that the decision should remain consistent across all candidates applying for a given role to ensure an unbiased, compliant hiring process and to remain up to date on all federal and state laws dictating the information past employers can and cannot reveal.

5. Study: Salmonella causes damage...
Study: Salmonella causes damage worth billions of euros
Salmonella are rod-shaped bacteria that cause infections in the gastrointestinal tract in humans and animals and can often be fatal. The treatment of salmonella has become a billion-dollar industry in many countries around the world. A new study from Hungary now provides surprising figures on how high these really are. Salmonella: these bacteria always seem to be in the headlines. For example, on October 29, 2021, one medical journal reported, “In five European countries (EU/EEA), at least 121 people have been infected in the last three years by consuming products containing sesame seeds from Syria that were contaminated with salmonella.”
The article continues: “These contaminated products were tested and recalled. For many people, however, it was already too late: some of the sick, among them children, had to seek hospital treatment.
How is salmonella transmitted?
Salmonella belongs to the group of food-borne infections (zoonoses). It lives in the gastrointestinal tract of animals (which suffer no ill effects), and then enters the human body via consumption of animal products, such as meat, eggs or dairy products, that have been contaminated with animal feces. Processed products such as salami, mayonnaise or tiramisu can also be contaminated. Transmission via drinking water and from person to person is infrequent. However, since salmonellae bacteria are also viable outside the body for weeks, poor hygiene during processing (no hand washing) and transmission via cutting boards and knives, for example, can also be the reason for infection.
Symptoms of salmonella infection include: diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, intermittent nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and headache. If the pathogen enters the bloodstream, the infection can even be fatal.
New study from Hungary: Official figures grossly misrepresent actual salmonella incidences
Salmonella is a threat worldwide and authorities are collecting data on how grave it really is. A new study out of Hungary (September 2021) has analyzed the “Impact of foodborne salmonellosis on consumer health in Hungary”.
The number of salmonella infections in Hungary surpassed 90,000 per year – 18 times higher than the official figures.
How significant are the direct and indirect costs of salmonella? In assessing this question, the study included direct medical treatment (home, hospital) and indirect costs such as those arising due to changes in consumer behavior or work absences.
How much would you pay to prevent a salmonella infection?
Hungarian consumers were also asked how much they would pay to avoid infection (willingness-to-pay (WTP) analysis).
For the WTP analysis, 456 quantifiable responses were evaluated. The results showed that the average WTP of consumers for avoiding salmonella infection was €86.3.
Taking into account the confirmed salmonella incidences in 2015 and the 18-fold multiplier calculated in the study, the damage to the health of consumers in Hungary was estimated at 7.87 million euros annually.
Costs are also high in the USA and the EU
It is not only in Hungary that authorities collect data to record the economic damage caused by salmonella. The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) estimates that salmonella infections from all sources cost Americans $2.65 billion per year. This figure is based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate of nearly 1.4 million Salmonella cases from all sources annually, including 415 deaths. The estimated average cost per case is $1,896.
In the European Union, more than 350,000 human cases of zoonoses are reported each year, but the actual number is likely to be even higher. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) estimates that salmonella in humans could cost the economy up to €3 billion a year in total.
Seamless testing protects people
Testing for salmonella throughout the production chain is strongly recommended to detect contamination. Previous tests involved cultivation on a culture medium, but this does not provide rapid results.
Real-time PCR (as well as the antibody-based ELISA test) are significantly faster: they only require an incubation of 18 hours ± 2 hours in buffered peptone water (BPW). The specific detection for Salmonella spp. or as a Multipex kit for Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium can be connected directly and takes about 2 hours depending on the sample amount. Therefore, real-time PCR, which is significantly faster and also highly sensitive, specific and automatable, is rapidly becoming the standard. R-Biopharm offers you such suitable tests.
But consumers can also protect themselves from salmonella infection. Food that may be contaminated with salmonella, such as minced meat, should be stored in the refrigerator, used up quickly and heated thoroughly during cooking. Other methods for preventing infection are summarized here.

In Brazil a new India met a new China. Will there be a new pragmatism leading to peace on the border?
What a pity there was no independent reporting from Brazil about our Prime Minister's meeting with China's President. We can comfort ourselves by assuming that it was a subtle diplomatic ploy to impress China. After all, China's leaders have always communicated to their people exclusively through Xinhua, the official news agency. Now Narendra Modi has communicated to us exclusively through PTI. At last we are equal to China.
But let's set that aside. Let's set aside, too, cockles-warmers like India becoming the first President of the new BRICS bank. The great reality that surfaced in Brazil is that Modi has a historical opportunity to end the boundary problem with China. Two factors point to this. First, China respects strong leaders and it knows that Modi is so strong that not a mouse will move in Delhi without his say-so. Secondly, the border problem can never be solved without India repudiating some of Jawaharlal Nehru's actions; the Congress governments could not possibly do this while Modi probably can.
In the past emotionalism seized our Parliament, the media and public opinion to such an extent that the country as a whole lost its sense of direction. We never faced the fact that, historically, there was no agreed border pact between India and China. In the West the Aksaichin-Ladakh area was so barren ("not a blade of grass grows there", as Nehru famously put it) that no one in India knew that China had built a road across it. In the more contentious eastern sector, India swore by the McMahon Line, which was a line drawn by a British officer and then approved at a meeting in 1914 by British-Indian and Tibetan governments; China was not a participant.
The position Chinese Prime Minister Chou en-lai initially adopted was a reasonable one. Where negotiations were required to confirm a presumed boundary, he said, negotiations must be held so that a new treaty could be signed between equals in place of one imposed by old imperial overlords. In the case of the McMahon Line, according to published reports, Chou even told Nehru that China would not use the negotiations to change the boundary line. We failed to take advantage of that golden opportunity. When Chou visited Delhi in 1960 Home Minister Gobind Vallabh Pant spoke to him patronisingly, Finance Minister Morarji Desai insultingly. Nehru could not even keep India's dealings with China on a dignified level. When China moved to absorb Tibet as a piece of its sovereign territory, Nehru agreed without bargaining for an overall boundary agreement.
Post-Chou China adopted a more belligerent tone. In recent years it has been noticeably confrontationist in its approach to Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. Along the Himalayas there have been regular "incidents" in the border posts. Much of this is attributed to hawkish military leaders at policy-making levels.
China will never yield in its ambition to be the unchallenged regional power in Asia and then the unchallenged world superpower. To that extent it will always be a difficult customer, no matter who is at the helm, emperors or communists. But the Chinese are also history's most pragmatic people. They are natural businessmen, at ease running massive shipping corporations or tiny kirana stores. Like Gujaratis.
This is where two minds can meet. If Narendra Modi is strong in India, Xi Jinping is China's most powerful leader since Deng Hsiao-ping, combining in himself several posts including military overlordship. Both are decision-makers. Both are good at the game of politics. So Modi will quickly recognise why, even as Xinhua was reporting the Modi-Xi meeting at length and with warmth, China's border patrol in Ladakh staged an intrusion trick or two. Once he learns how to call this standard bluff, the rest will be easy.
Xi's words in Brazil suggest that he has already developed the view that cooperation with a friendly India will benefit China economically and diplomatically while posing no threat to it politically or militarily. "If the two countries speak in one voice," said Xi, "the whole world will attentively listen". It should be easy for Modi to show that if the two countries speak in one voice, business will boom for both. But, unlike Xi, Modi will have to carry the people with him. Government leaders in India have never told the people the real story of the border mess. If Modi continues that style of functioning, he will not score the way Xi might. Brazil reporting notwithstanding, we are not equal to China, thank heavens.

In a policy paper released Monday, State Sen. Anthony Williams said if elected mayor he would build upon the ethics reforms instituted by Mayor Nutter but also take new steps to improve campaign finance and government accountability.
Williams said the use of new technology would be key to achieving many of his goals, saying cities across the country are implementing technology "in ways that dramatically reduce costs, improve performance and provide data that closes the information chasm between government and its citizens."
"Full and proactive transparency is the hallmark of a citizen-centered approach to governance, and will be the modus operandi of a Williams Administration," he said
Here are some highlights from the three-section paper, titled "A City-Centered, Transparent and Ethical One Philadelphia."
A Transparent, Citizen-Centered Government: Williams said residents do not have the ability to search city expenditures down to the penny, and he would seek to build credibility with Philadelphians by making budgetary information more easily accessible.
He also said he would explore the use of manned and unmanned city service kiosks that would be placed in schools, libraries and recreation centers and allow citizens to conduct city business without having to travel to government offices. He said citizens should be able to complete all city-related business online, with every paper form having an online equivalent.
Enhancing Integrity and Ethical Government: Williams said he would use an executive order to reauthorize the city's chief integrity officer and inspector general positions and push for an amendment to the City Charter to make the inspector general a permanent post. He said he would ban nepotism in city government and also, by executive order, ban executive and administrative branch employees from employment with companies that do business with the city.
He said he would work to implement a whistleblower policy that further protects city employees who report wrongdoing.
Campaign Finance Reform: Williams said he would seek to change contribution limits from calendar year to election cycle, a reform he said was recommended in a 2009 report by the city's Task Force on Campaign Finance and Ethics. He said the current structure hurts challengers and structuring the limits by election cycle would keep incumbents from stockpiling resources during their first three years in office.
He also said he would improve the city's campaign finance database so it is more accessible to the public.

International Space Station Makes 100,000th Orbit
May 17, 2016 – The International Space Station (ISS) made its 100,000th orbit of Earth on Monday, May 16. The station travels at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (five miles per second), orbiting Earth every 90 minutes. From the time the first component of the station was launched, the station had traveled about 2,643,342,240 miles, or roughly the distance between Earth and Neptune.
Orbital assembly of the space station started with the launch from Kazakhstan on November 20, 1998 of the first bus-sized component, Zarya. A few weeks later, the U.S. space shuttle carried the Unity connector module into space. Constructed on opposite sides of Earth, Unity and Zarya were joined in space to begin the orbital station’s assembly and an unprecedented multinational partnership.
The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken, bringing together international flight crews, multiple launch vehicles, globally distributed launch, operations, training, engineering, and development facilities; communications networks, and the international scientific research community.
An international crew of six people live and work on the station, which has been continuously occupied since November 2000. In that time, 222 people from 18 countries have visited the station. Crew members spend about 35 hours each week conducting research that advances scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences for the benefit of people living on our home planet.
The space station has grown and evolved into an unprecedented, state-of-the-art laboratory complex. Offering a microgravity environment that can’t be duplicated on Earth, the ISS continues to further humankind’s knowledge of science and how the human body functions for extended periods of time in space — all of which will prove to be vital on long-duration missions beyond low-Earth orbit, including to Mars.
More than an acre of solar arrays provide power to the station, and also make it the brightest object in the night sky after the moon. You don’t need a telescope to see it and you can sign up for text messaging or email alerts to let you know when (and where) to spot the station as it flies over your town.

Angelina Jolie New Beauty Products
Angelina JolieneeVoight, formerlyJolie Pitt{, born June 4, 1975) mainstream recognition
The year 2004 saw the release of four films featuring Jolie. She first starred in the thriller Taking Lives as an FBI profiler summoned to help Montreal law enforcement hunt down a serial killer. The film received mixed reviews; The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt, critic, concluded that Jolie plays a crucial role. feels like something she has already done, but she does add an There is an unmistakable thrill and glamour. “[60] Jolie made a brief appearance as a fighter pilot in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, a science fiction adventure shot entirely with actors in front of a bluescreen, and voiced her first family film, the DreamWorks animation Shark Tale. Her supporting role as Queen Olympias in Oliver Stone’s Alexander, about the life of Alexander the Great, was met with mixed reception, particularly concerning her Slavic accent. Stone said that the film was a failure commercially in North America. Despite widespread disapproval over the portrayal of Alexander’s bisexuality [61], it was a success internationally and earned $167.3 million.
In 2005, Jolie returned to major box office success with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which she starred opposite Brad Pitt A bored couple discovers that they are secretly married assassins. Although the film received mixed reviews it was generally well-received. Star Tribune: The chemistry between the leads Colin Covert, critic, noted that “While the story feels haphazard but the movie is still enjoyable.” Gets by on his gregarious charm, galloping energie and the stars’ thermonuclear screen chemistry. “[62] With box office takings of $478.2 million worldwide, Mr. & Mrs. Smith It was the seventh highest-grossing picture of the year, and it remained Jolie’s highest-grossing live-action film for the next decade. [48][63]
Following a supporting role as the neglected wife of a CIA officer in Robert De Niro’s The Good Shepherd (2006), Jolie starred as Mariane Pearl in the documentary-style drama A Mighty Heart (2007). The film is based on Pearl’s memoir. It tells the story of Daniel Pearl’s kidnapping, murder, and rescue in Pakistan. Jolie was chosen by Pearl, a biracial woman, for the role. However[64] racial criticisms and accusations of blackface were levelled at the casting. [65] The resulting performance was widely praised; Ray Bennett of The Hollywood Reporter described it as “well-measured and moving,” played “with respect and a firm grasp on a difficult accent. “[66] She received nominations for a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Jolie was also Grendel’s mother and a shape-shifting prostitute in the epic Beowulf (2007). It was created using motion capture. It was a commercially successful film that earned $196.4 million worldwide. [48]
Jolie, who earned $15-$20 millions per film in 2008, was the highest-paid Hollywood actress. [67][68] Other actresses have had to accept salary cuts in recent years. Jolie’s box office appeal has allowed her to command as high as the rest for years. As high as 20% of the total. [69] She was a star alongside James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and the action movie Wanted (2008). It earned $341.4 million around the world. 48] The film received mostly positive reviews. Manohla Dargis, The New York Times, wrote about it. noted that Jolie was “perfectly cast as a super-scary, seemingly amoral assassin,” adding that “she cuts the kind of disciplinarian figure who Boys of all ages can be brought to their knees, or at the very least into their theater. Seats.
Jolie in character as Christine Collins on the set of Changeling in October 2007
Jolie next took the lead role in Clint Eastwood’s drama Changeling (2008). The film is partly inspired by the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders and centers on Christine Collins who is reunited in Los Angeles with her son, only to discover that the boy is not real. Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune critic It was noted that Jolie shines in the calm before storm, the scenes When one male authority figure patronizes another, it is a demeaning act. At their peril. She was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and a BAFTA Award. [73][74][75][76] Jolie was also the voice of the DreamWorks animation Kung Fu Panda (2008). This was her first work in a major franchise. She later reprised her role in Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), and Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016).
After her mother’s death in 2007, Jolie appeared in fewer films, later explaining that her motivation to be an actress had stemmed from Her mother’s ambitions in acting. Her first film in two years was the 2010 thriller Salt, in which she starred as a CIA agent who goes on the run after she is accused of being a KGB sleeper agent. Agent Salt was originally written for a male character, with Tom Cruise as the star. However, a Columbia Pictures executive recommended Jolie for the part. Salt was an international success with $293.5 million in revenues. The film received mostly positive reviews. Empire was particularly proud of Jolie’s performance.

Toronto Yellow Pages billboard celebrates multiculturalism by negating it
Facebook friend Audra Williams shared this photo of a Yellow Pages billboard in Toronto.
Funny, eh?
If you just answered "yes" I want you to look in the mirror. Are you a white person? A man? Of "generic" (primarily British or Northern European) ethnicity? Are you from the 1950s? Do you live in a goddamn bubble?
Because let me tell you, I'm pretty sure the creative team who thought this up, and anyone who approved it, were at least two of those things.
This billboard, posted publicly in one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world, is a problem for me. It reads as a conversation between one white guy like me and another, and in doing so it casts everyone who grew up with Vietnamese, Cuban or Central/South American food into the category of "others".
In rattling off a joke about multiculturalism, the ad actually negates the very people who make Toronto multicultural: "Vietnamese restauranteur, we love your exotic soup, but you're not really one of us."
I have no doubt that the agency team meant well, or at least thought they did. They were just so out-of-touch with the reality of Canada that they thought is was OK to have a major brand jokingly exclude a large number of the people who walk by its billboard, just because they didn't grow up on peanut butter sandwiches.
I won't even get into the sexist implications of "mom" making all the food, because it's just a lazy cliché.
UPDATE: Audra got them to agree to pull it
1. how could anyone "mean well" by being this blatantly ignorant ... ugh what a totally inadequate nonapology too
2. It was so impressive.I would also recommend a powerful feature where in you list your business free wawalive yellow pages

Wamp + MSSQL
I've tried a lot of things just to connect MSSQL with PHP and I've come up with this solution. Parts of this tutorial has been gathered from other forums.
1. Download and install the following files from
- wampserver2.0i
- apache 2.2.8 (Add On)
- php 5.2.6 (Add On)
2. ntwdblib.dll (version 2000.80.194.0)
- download from or if it's not available anymore you can contact me and I'll send you the copy.
- stop all Wamp Services and SQL Server service
- copy and replace this file to
1. ie: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6
2. ie: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin
3. ie: C:\Windows\System32\
4. Enable apache and php version from wamp server
5. Activate php_mssql from PHP extensions
6. Configure SQL Server to accept TCP connections and Named Pipes through the SQL server configuration manager.
7. Configure SQL Server for Mixed mode authentication and remember the password you set for sa
8. Start the SQL Server Service
9. Enable mssql.secure_connection = On (can be found at php.ini)
- Note that if you are not using NT authentication then you can turn it Off.
10. Start WampServer
11. Enable PHP 5.2.6 and Apache 2.2.8
12. Test connection
$conn = mssql_connect('SQLSERVER','USER','PASSWORD');
if ($conn){
echo 'Connected';

Preparing NOJ
Flipping Burned Pancakes
1000ms 65536K
The cook at the Frobbozz Magic Pancake House sometimes falls asleep on the job while cooking
pancakes. As a result, one side of a stack of pancakes is often burned. Clearly, it is bad business to
serve visibly burned pancakes to the patrons. Before serving, the waitress will arrange the stacks of
pancakes so that the burned sides are facing down. You must write a program to aid the waitress in
stacking the pancakes correctly.
We start with a stack of N pancakes of distinct sizes, each of which is burned on one side. The
problem is to convert the stack to one in which the pancakes are in size order with the smallest on the
top and the largest on the bottom and burned side down for each pancake. To do this, we are
allowed to flip the top k pancakes over as a unit (so the k-th pancake is now on top and the pancake
previously on top is now in the k-th position and the burned side goes from top to bottom and vice
For example (+ indicates burned bottom, - a burned top):
+1 -3 -2 [flip 2] → +3 -1 -2 [flip 1] -3 -1 -2 [flip 3]
+2 +1 +3 [flip 1] -2 +1 +3 [flip 2] -1 +2 +3 [flip 1] +1 +2 +3
You must write a program which finds a sequence of at most (3n ? 2) flips, which converts a given
stack of pancakes to a sorted stack with burned sides down.
The first line of the input contains a single decimal integer, N, the number of problem instances to
follow. Each of the following N lines gives a separate dataset as a sequence of numbers separated
by spaces. The first number on each line gives the number, M, of pancakes in the data set. The
remainder of the data set is the numbers 1 through M in some order, each with a plus or minus sign,
giving the initial pancake stack. The numbers indicate the relative sizes of the pancakes and the
signs indicate whether the burned side is up (-) or down (+). M will be, at most, 30.
number as a decimal integer (start counting at one), a space, the number of flips (K, where K >= 0)
required to sort the pancakes and a sequence of K numbers, each of which gives the number of
pancakes to flip on the corresponding sorting step. There may be several correct solutions for some
datasets. For instance 3 2 3 is also a solution to the first problem below.
Sample Input:
3 +1 -3 -2
4 -3 +1 -2 -4
5 +1 +2 +3 +4 -5
Sample Output:
1 6 2 1 3 1 2 1
2 6 4 1 4 3 1 2
3 3 5 1 5

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have read that PHPs "probable" weakness is how it handles "concurrency". With only sessions and cookies to keep track of user state, how can PHP handle the following situations with high accuracy:
1. multiple users check out with one item that has only 1 stock in inventory (sorry for grammar mistakes, but you pretty much get the picture already)
2. multiple users logging into the same user account using the same login details
3. multiple users editing an the same image at the same time (though this rarely happens in real life)
or any other transactions that demands multiple thread handling
(I apologize if I misused terms here)

How is this just a limit of PHP - these are common problems in the domain of computer science. – Mr-sk Jan 13 '10 at 2:59
does not java have classes for thread handling, locks, semaphores, etc? Does PHP have those? (haven't really discovered them if they exist) – yretuta Jan 13 '10 at 3:01
No - However it has access to memcached (you can simulate a mutex/semaphore) and databases. Race conditions and locking can be solved at many layers, including PHP, DB and Caching. – Mr-sk Jan 13 '10 at 3:05

These aren't real concurrency issues. While it's true that PHP as an environment lacks in thread capability, any web server utilizing a PHP module will have multiple threads, each with thier own active PHP environment inside it, all utilizing the same resources. You would run into these problems with Java, .Net, Perl, or any other web application language.
1. You need a transaction on your database, probably with a write lock so that other users can't read it and run the checkout process while someone else is checking out. This is not a language thread issue, it's a database transactional issue.
2. This isn't a threading issue either. Sessions are fairly trivial with all the tools available, and I've never heard of a "one thread per session" style of implementation on any language platform (that would be non-trivial, difficult to implement, and would just add overhead). You either allow multiple session tokens to be active for one account (user can log in multiple times on different tabs or web browsers if they want), or you don't (all session tokens are cleared each time a login procedure occurs so that only one token is active).
3. An odd one, but I'm not sure how threading fits here either. Image editing would have to be done client-side in the browser. You can't keep "threads" open to a user's browser in any language... HTTP doesn't work like that. You'd send them the image and you're done until they hit "save" and send it back. If you're worried about users overwriting each other's changes, again, you'd just have to put a transactional lock on it. I'd probably just "version" each image, and if an update occurred from one user while another was editing it, you'd inform the other user that they needed to refresh their copy.
As far as I'm aware, no language uses threads to accomplish any of these tasks. Because of the stateless nature of HTTP communication, cookies are sessions are a mainstay of every web language, so no matter what platform you use, you're going to see very much the same strategy in all of them for handling a given problem.

These aren't necessarily problems for PHP. These are problems for developers to overcome given any technology of choice.
1. Users letting their inventory get to 1 isn't PHP's fault. You could temporary ignore the 1 when somebody has already added it to their cart though, and free it up if they don't purchase it before their session expires.
2. Okay? You can logout other users, or manage all sessions.
3. Again, they likely won't do it at the same microtime. If they did, toss up a nice error, and ask them to try again. As pointed out in the comments, MySQL has sufficient capabilities to handle these types of occurrences (if they ever happen).

And don't forget that your DB can do transactions and locking as well, for those cases when you need to be 110% certain nothing happens at the same time. – Michael Madsen Jan 13 '10 at 3:04

1. Your database should handle the transaction atomically and remove the last item, removing it from the responsibility of php

Just like all languages you'll need to find some way of locking these files. If you're new to concurrency you might start out here and do some research on the different methods available to you.
But the real question I have is whether this is actually going to be a problem. And if you are going to be in a high concurrency system how high is the damage in the case of a collision. If the cost of a collision is really high, it might be work contracting out to someone who already has cut their teeth on this and just watch what methods they use.

Have you ever heard of database transactions? Used properly, these can fix all of your problems (which aren't PHP problems, by the way).
share|improve this answer
add comment
If your question is about transactions, then the answer is yes, but it is not a feature of the language itself. Transaction safety is the task of the database layer (usually a relational database like MySQL).
But if I read your question like "Is PHP scalable?", then the answer also is yes.
PHP handles "concurrency" just as perfect as possible, because it hides any concurrency related details completely from the application, which is a good thing for web applications. It makes applications inherently scalable, just as HTTP made the "web" scalable. HTTP is stateless, so PHP is stateless in a sense. This allows easily horizontal scalability, e.g. by adding more hardware without change to the application code (though this still requires some application support beforehand).
Check out these great articles for an explanation.

Will My Turtle Die If The Water Is Too Cold?
Will My Turtle Die If The Water Is Too Cold
Believe me or not, many turtle owners have misconceptions about their pet turtles’ lifestyle or behavior. I have been raising turtles and writing about them for several years. It has been more than once people asked me if their turtles would die due to the cold water. I want to give a clear answer and debunk all the misconceptions in this article.
The turtles are ectothermic, and they are gifted with a natural mechanism to cope with the severe cold. In most cases, the turtles do not die in cold water. They either hibernate/brumate or come out of the water to look for warmth. But in some events, pets can die if they do not receive proper care.
In this article, I will elaborately discuss what happens to a turtle in cold weather. I will also share tips on keeping the water temperature suitable for your turtles in winter.
Turtles And Cold Water
Even though the season is the same for everyone, winter has a different significance for the turtles. The period comes to them as a package of adventure and experience.
Imagine, someone is paying you to a sack of money for staying underwater for 100 days. Obviously, you will refuse because it is beyond your ability. But wait, do not most of the turtle species do that every year? Yes, you are reading it right. Let me explain it to you.
Turtles are ectothermic or cold-blooded species. It means they can not generate heat in their bodies and totally depends on the external sources. In simple words, a turtle’s body temperature will be 10 degrees celsius if the weather is 10 degrees.
During the winter, generally, the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 degrees celsius. This temperature is too crucial for the turtles, and to cope with the environment, they brumate/hibernate. During the hibernation period, the turtles lay low at the bottom of a lake, swamp, or log. Now the question arises, how they can survive underwater for such a long period without coming out for air.
Well, it is true that turtles have lungs, and they breathe air. But the answer you are looking for lies within the biological connection between the cold water and turtle’s body metabolism. The turtles slow down their body metabolism in cold water. The colder the water gets, the slower their metabolism becomes.
A slow metabolism means more inactivity, lower energy consumption, and less oxygen demand. This state basically indicates the hibernation or brumation. Turtles spend the whole period sleeping. Though they do not eat during that time, they still need water for drinking.
Throughout the hibernation or brumation, the turtles depend on the energy stored from the previous digestions. For the oxygen uptake, the species rely on their coral respiration. It means the turtles absorb oxygen through their butt or skin without using the lungs.
That is how the turtles survive under cold water for days without coming out. If you are raising any turtle species in an indoor or outdoor habitat, do not worry. Your pet will adapt to the situation very quickly and naturally.
Can Turtles Survive Freezing Temperature?
Now you know how turtles can survive cold water. But can they beat the freezing temperature?
Even though the turtles are ectothermic and hibernate to cope with the environment, they have a certain limit of endurance. When the temperature touches the freezing point, they can not stand the temperature. You will see some exceptions at this point. For example, box turtles have the ability to survive in severely cold weather, even in the freezing environment.
The adult turtles can not survive when ice crystals get on their bodies. And eventually, they die. It only happens when the turtle is on the ground at the severe cold. On the other hand, the turtles will be safe if they hibernate underwater, even in the freezing temperature. Why?
It is because the water has high specific values and requires a lot of energy to change its temperature. Hence, the water stays stable, and the temperature can not affect the turtle much. But if the surface of the water freezes, it can be a problem for some of the turtles.
During that time, the pond becomes low in oxygen content. And so, sometimes, the turtles cannot even fulfill their low oxygen demand. But for some turtle species like painted or snapping turtle, this situation is not problematic at all. Those species can switch their metabolism in which they can survive for 100 days without any oxygen.
If you are hibernating your turtle in an outdoor habitat, then it is a concern for you. However, in an indoor hibernation, you can manage heating sources so that the pet does not freeze to death.
What Temperature Is Too Cold For The Turtle?
How will you know the water temperature is cold for the pet? For that, you must have the basic knowledge about the species you are raising. The basic water heat requirement for turtles is 75 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature drops by one or two degrees, the pet starts feeling cold.
If the water temperature falls to 39 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or 3.8 to 10 degrees Celsius, the turtle will prepare to hibernate. The best way to learn the water temperature is to set up a thermometer in the tank.
I always suggest buying a digital tank thermometer. Here are some popular turtle tank thermometers:
1. Zarco LCD Digital Thermometer
2. Zoo Med Analog Thermometer
With the thermometer, you can easily know if the water temperature is suitable for the pet or not. If the temperature is low, then take immediate action.
How To Make The Water Suitable For The Turtle?
You should learn how to maintain suitable water temperature on cold days. If you are raising your turtles in an outdoor habitat, there is not much you can do. The turtles will live upon the mercy of nature. You can bring them in an indoor habitat or set up a pond heater to keep them alive and healthy. But pond heaters are not much effective in most cases.
In the indoor habitat, the temperature should not be an issue. You can control the overall temperature by setting up a tank heater. I recommend using an automatic heater because it provides the best service to the turtles.
Turtle owners often get confused while choosing or buying the tank heater for their pets. But worry no more. Check out this article to get a complete guide on the turtle tank heater.
Most of the turtle species are real warriors and can survive cold water. If it is winter and you are concerned about your pet turtle, ensure its proper care. With the best environment set up, the turtles will not feel the change in the temperature. And so, its lifestyle will remain the same.

While the College Board no longer offers Subject Tests and they are not a requirement for applying, you may submit Subject Tests taken in the last 5 years. If you choose to submit Subject Tests, it is more useful to choose only one mathematics test rather than two.
Is SAT easy?
Summary. SAT is easy for Indian students who have done test prep well in advance. Factors like time limitation, new concepts, and slow passage reading might make the test harder for some. Predictable patterns, no need for memorization, and multiple-choice questions make SAT easier than some other tests.
Does SAT have trigonometry?
In addition to the questions in Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Passport to Advanced Math, the SAT Math Test includes several questions that are drawn from areas of geometry, trigonometry, and the arithmetic of complex numbers.
Is the SAT hard?
The SAT can be intimidating if you don’t know much about it, but it’s far from an insurmountable challenge if you prepare properly and understand the format of the test. The SAT covers concepts that are typically taught in the first two years of high school, with a few more advanced concepts sprinkled into the mix.
Is a 4.45 weighted GPA good?
Should I retake the SAT if I got a 1500?
If a school’s average SAT score is above 1500, students with sufficient preparation time should retake the exam to become a stronger applicant. Many schools also release a more specific breakdown of their students’ typical SAT scores, separating the Reading/Writing section and Math section.
Is 1870 a good SAT score?
1870 SAT Score Standings Out of the 1.67 million test-takers, 230445 scored the same or higher than you. You can apply to 1252 colleges and have a good shot at getting admitted. You have a very low chance of getting into 116 with this score.
Is 1150 a good SAT score?
The average national SAT score is between 1050 and 1100 every year (on purpose), putting an 1150 at an above-average 67th percentile — that’s a score to be proud of! It means that you scored higher than 67% of all other test takers.
What’s the lowest you can get on SAT?
The lowest SAT score is 400. Your total SAT score is comprised of a Math section score and an Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score. Each SAT section is scored between 200 and 800 points. The average SAT score for the class of 2020 was 1051.
Is 1600 a good SAT score?
A 1600 is only achieved by around 300 test takers per year and makes you eligible and highly competitive for admission at every college. Looking at this from another angle, a 1600 SAT score is in the 99nth percentile, which means you scored higher than 99% of all other 2 million+ test takers.

Paying Upfront or Until the End of Your Life
by Dean Gee 14 days ago in advice
Sometimes the Price gets higher as time passes
Paying Upfront or Until the End of Your Life
Photo by Anthony Tori on Unsplash
When we buy something we need to pay for it, that’s just economics and a commercial reality. Sometimes though we pay in other ways that are not commercial but commercially devastating. Compromising the moral economy has dire consequences and the currency is a lot more valuable than dollars and cents.
We have choices now so the question becomes, when are you going to pay for something? It’s easy enough buying something in store and paying there and then. But with the likes of ‘Paypal’ and ‘Afterpay,’ we can now pay for goods and services afterwards, after receiving the benefits.
Why do we usually pay for something? We pay because we receive a benefit or a perceived benefit. Sometimes the price we pay lasts longer than the benefit we receive.
Freedom and Pride as drivers of behaviour
People are driven to compromise their own personal economy in the pursuit of power, wealth, love. But at the core of all of these is the underlying pursuit of freedom. We don’t like to be told what to do and we seek freedom, underlying that pursuit of freedom is pride. Pride is humans not wanting to submit. We want to be captains of our own universe. Billions of us don’t and wont achieve the freedom that we desire, this leads to frustration and this frustration leads to morally compromised decisions in the pursuit of the freedom we desire.
Sometimes what we are buying cannot be paid for in money, but asks a higher price of us, it occupies mental real estate in our minds. It asks sleepless nights of us. It asks mental energy of us. It occupies most of our waking moments and it can even ask us to pay in terms of friendships and families. The price can get higher and usually does as time wears on, it’s not like we can just pay it off, the ‘interest’ charges seem to increase with time, irrespective of the prices we pay.
When we pay for something in ‘moral currency’ the price usually is much higher than an expensive item in a store. In the ‘moral economy’ the currency is different but so are the terms of payment. The price does not get lower like it does with ‘Paypal’ or ‘Afterpay’. The moral economy robs you of your finances, your lifestyle, your family and your peace of mind.
Let’s look at some scenarios of paying for something morally.
Protecting a criminal
You witnessed a crime, but you are protecting someone, so you decide not to go to the police about it. Initially your protection of the person, is justified in your mind. Then as time wears on the little questions start to creep into your mind. What of the person that had the wrong done to them. They also have a family and children. What if it was you being wronged? Would you still be happy that someone who had witnessed the situation remain quiet about it?
Over time your conscience will eat away at you, and the price you may pay for protecting someone else is greater than you expect. You may need psychological help, there are bills that come with that. Your family may suffer because of the torment of your conscience. Sleepless nights become common, you may lose your job. Your family is now paying the price for your morality
Having an affair
Having an affair in fantasy land, within our minds may sound exciting on the face of it. But beneath the fake outer appearance, the worms and the decay is ready to set in. Decay that will destroy your life.
Your family, your children, everything you hold dear will be gone in an instant of misguided lust and passion. The price is astronomical, emotionally and economically.
Court battles for custody, lawyer fees, maintenance payments. Emotional stress. The price for this one is gigantic, it is never a good idea to cheat on your wife, no matter how tempted you are. It is never a good idea to cheat on your husband no matter the temptation.
I have a personal experience of this. An extended family member of mine, decided to take this path, he was a financial director and made off with $40 million from a mining company that he worked for back in the 1970’s. He left his wife and three children and took the money and was gone.
To this day nobody knows where he went to, they knew what flight he boarded, to leave the country and then the trail went cold. Discussions around family meal times would always result in this statement. ‘Well at least if you are going to do it, do it like Kenny did for millions.’
He paid the price of not knowing his children. I am sure that he lived a high standard of living wherever he went and had his identity changed. I also believe that as he got older, he started regretting the time he had lost, the people he had lost, the pain he had caused.
I am sure that thoughts of what could have been plagued him and probably still do, assuming he is alive. I can imagine his mind tormented by the ‘what if’ scenarios. He had a great paying job, he could have lived a good comfortable life, but greed and his self delusion of freedom, drove him to do what he did.
Some people only receive clarity on their death beds though, and some just don’t care or suppress their conscience.
Paying a moral price as well as a financial price, is what happens in most cases, and the moral price in terms of emotional energy, restlessness and loss of peace, regrets and guilt accrue interest and those payments grow over time. Think wisely before embarking on decisions driven by a lust for freedom and pride.
Thank you for reading and share your opinions, what do you think?

What Happened to Small Businesses ?
| May 13, 2008 - 9:18 pm
Tags: business, buy local, small business, small town
What is happening to small businesses ? I was asking myself this question after coming back home to Puerto Rico from college in Pennsylvania. I was surprised about how many of the small businesses I grew up with had closed down during the year I was gone, and how the stores we have now at home are the same ones in Pennsylvania and everywhere else- Walmart, Wendy's, KFC, Subway, etc. I had never thought about it before, but it stroke me now after being gone away for sometime. What happened to small businesses ? What will happen to communities we grew up in when the small businesses are gone forever ? Will there be a day when we will all be customers of multinationals ? What will this mean for diversity of cultures in the world ? What will happen to people's personalities living in a world where everything , including economic activity, is so much alike, so controlled by invisible forces. "Small is beautiful" as Schumacher said some time ago. Buy local !
Buy local resources
Here are some other resources I found on this issue after a quick search. Students have found ways to work in solidarity with the local communities (where their campuses are located) to find ways to promote "buy local" efforts. Check this out: http://www.buylocalday.org/article.php?list=type&type=6
Thankfully, we don't have to rely on theorists to show us how to solve the problem: there are concrete examples all over the country (and world!).
Those two kinds of businesses are often the most effective way a community can fight back against Big Box retailers and other corporate goons. Pretty much anything can be run as a cooperative: from a pharmacy, to a bookstore, to a restaurant, to a grocery store, to a law firm.
All it takes is some people willing to spend the time and commitment to fight for progressive values in the marketplace.
Also good resources are:
http://www.amiba.net/ - American Independent Business Alliance
http://www.ilsr.org/ - Institute for Local Self-Reliance
Democracy Unlimited has a nice list of examples of communities passing ordinances and ballot measures to control corporations: http://duhc.org/rethinking_prohibit.html

On The Shoulders Of Giants
On The Shoulders Of Giants
There are some people who walk apart from the madding crowds of the dull and boring. One such in the world of ocean science was John Martin. He spent years working to unravel a Gordian Knot of complex ocean plant ecology and chemistry, the role of iron in ocean phyto-plankton.
john_martin (1)In July 1988, during at a lecture at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, oceanographer John Martin stood up and said in his best Dr. Strangelove accent, “Give me a half tanker of iron, and I will give you an ice age.”
These inflammatory words centered around a theory known as the iron hypothesis. Martin professed that by sprinkling a relatively small amount of iron into certain areas of the ocean, known as high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll zones (HNLCs), one could create large blooms of those unicellular aquatic plants commonly known as algae. If enough of these HNLC zones were fertilized with iron, he believed the growth in algae could take in so much carbon from the atmosphere that they could reverse the greenhouse effect and cool the Earth.
Martin’s theory sparked a tremendous debate. Unlike most of the unusual, somewhat esoteric theories that float about the scientific community at any given time, Martin’s idea had teeth. It could be tested and it had the potential to impact the world on a short time scale. Many of Martin’s contemporaries reacted strongly by claiming his iron hypothesis was ill founded. They felt that his “Geritol” solution to climate change was careless and hazardous for the environment. Corporations and even some countries, however, embraced the idea. They saw Martin’s results as a way to reduce the effects of their own carbon dioxide and bring themselves within the emissions standards set up by the proposed Kyoto Protocol. Meanwhile, the press portrayed Martin as a renegade scientist that came out of nowhere with a mission to prove everyone wrong, calling him “Johnny Ironseed” and “Iron Man.”
Today I am proud to have learned from John Martin and to have picked up and carried his passion to a profound demonstration of the proof of his hypothesis. Indeed it does work just as you said John, even better than we have dreamed possible. The ocean pastures when replenished with nanomolar iron spring back to life with such abundant plankton that marine life for a thousand miles in all directions comes to feed in your garden.

A loan of $1,025 helped buying textile materials.
Lita's story
Lita is 43 years old, married, and has three children with whom she lives in the home that she and her spouse built with much effort. For 20 years, she has specialized in tailoring and worked in different workshops and factories, where she did manual work. However, she realized that she could do the same work in her own home. She contracted with some factories that give her merchandise every 15 days. She adds the embellishments on handbags, which are very patiently embroidered and sewn, given that the designs are quite varied. But Lita plans to establish a tailoring workshop, work with her own designs, and sell them in the central markets in the capital. In those markets there is higher demand, equal to the demands of the people. Because of that, she works arduously to set up her own workshop. This is her sixth loan with MFF, and with the 3000 soles she requests, she will buy the machinery necessary to produce her own designs.

A loose coalition of medical marijuana advocates and supporters put together a protest march in front of the Federal Courthouse on Monday, March 28. Starting at 12 noon, an estimated 100 or so activists began to wave signs and banners at passing automobiles and downtown pedestrians.
Medical marijuana activist Eugene Davidovich grabbed a megaphone and started the group chanting, "Regulate, don't eliminate," in reference to the San Diego City Council’s vote on pot dispensaries that was scheduled for 2 p.m. Some activists feared the council would vote to immediately shutdown every collective in the city.
At 1:00 p.m., protesters marched up Broadway to Second Avenue with a police-motorcycle escort. They made their way across Broadway and regrouped in front of City Hall, where they continued their boisterous protesting amid the honking of passing motorists’ horns. The group entered city council chambers around 2:00 p.m.
After hearing several hours of public comment, the council voted 5-2 (District 8‘s David Alvarez was not present) to establish a zoning ordinance that requires pot pharmacies not be located closer than 600 feet of libraries, parks, churches, schools, child-care facilities, or other dispensaries. Those dispensaries now operating in violation of the new ordinance have 30 days to close their doors.
Another ordinance passed by the council requires fingerprinting of dispensary owners and operators.

If dispensaries are supposed to be for medical purposes, why are they being re-zoned as if they were recreational areas like bars?
WhatsNewPussycat April 12, 2011 @ 8:57 p.m.
Where are smokers with doctors recommendations going to buy weed now that dispensaries are being forced to close? Vista is the closest town to San Diego that has the highest concentration of dispensaries. Who wants to drive all the way out to Vista?
Dispensaries who want to sell weed in the city of San Diego will have to go through an application process. That application process will take one year to complete. That's a virtual, automatic, one year ban on all dispensaries.
Also, due to the 600 foot proximity restriction ordinance that will become law, the approximate 150 San Diego dispensaries now in operation will be whittled down to a very small number of sellers. That makes it a sellers market. Though I would think the government will closely monitor the new establishments. The government might think about placing Bonnie Dumanis's office in a Otay Mesa dispensary.
The Reader stands to lose a lot of advertising dollars as will City Beat. Wasn't the San Diego City Council supposed to ratify the strict new law today, Tuesday, 4.12.11? If you live in Vista how are the dispensaries in your town, good quality medicinal smoke with fair prices or worse?

What Data Security Means for Your Business Now and in the Future
The reality is, cyber crime is one of the fastest-growing criminal threats affecting businesses across the US. What does this mean? It’s simple. A failure to properly secure your sensitive company and customer data puts your entire business’ operations in jeopardy. Here’s a closer look at why data security is so vital to every business, and some tips on how to defend your company against this evolving threat.
Why data security so important to your business
Cyber crime doesn’t just affect large companies or international corporations. Hackers targets small and medium-sized businesses, too. In fact, recent reports show that around 43% of cyber attacks are aimed at SMBs, and these attacks are costing small businesses around $200,000 a year.
Alarmingly, however, only 14% of SMBs are properly prepared to defend themselves against cyber attacks. In short, this means that your business may be extremely vulnerable to data loss or corruption.
The current threat landscape
While there are many cyber threats to watch out for, there are a few that affect SMBs in particular. Let’s take a look at the threats most likely to affect your business in 2020 and beyond.
One of the most common ways for hackers to attack SMBs is through email. A 2019 report showed that 1 in 323 emails to SMBs are malicious and aimed at either corrupting data or harvesting information.
Employee Negligence
Too often, employees and contractors accidentally cause data breaches. This may be through a lack of training or simple negligence; for example, an employee leaking a password. A 2018 report revealed that employee negligence accounts for over 60% of SMB data breaches
Ransomware is a huge problem for businesses. Ransomware programs either threaten to leak data or they prohibit access to files until a company pays a ransom. A 2019 annual cyber crime report estimates that, by 2021, a business will suffer a ransomware attack every 11 seconds.
How to effectively prepare your company for the future
The simple truth is that data security issues cause downtime which in turn costs your business time, money, and resources. In some cases, this will be enough to cause your company to fail. The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent your business from falling prey to a data security breach.
Train your staff
Preserving data security within a business is a team effort. Ensure your employees know how to spot a malicious email, and help them choose strong, robust passwords that they change regularly.
Budget for IT
While protecting company data may feel like an unnecessary cost, it’s crucial that you allocate sufficient resources to cybersecurity in your IT budget. Given that SMBs invest on average less than $500 per year in security products, it’s unsurprising that they’re prime targets for hackers. Don’t become a statistic. Invest in cybersecurity.
Outsource your data security needs
The easiest way to protect your company data from hackers is to employ expert assistance. Managed service providers and IT specialists don’t just understand cyber crime – they understand specifically how evolving cyber threats affect your specific business. This support is invaluable in an increasingly threatening landscape.
The future of business is digital, which means it has never been more important for companies to think about their cybersecurity strategies. For more information on how cybersecurity or data security affects your business, contact us now.

What is your cyber threat response strategy?
Cyber Threats in 2019: Ransomware Continues to Evolve –
Don’t Let Your Guard Down
In partnership with Datto and Barracuda.
9 Things You Can Do to Outsmart Ransomware Attacks
It won’t matter if you consider your company an unlikely target for ransomware attacks. If just one ransomware attack hits your network, it will still cripple your business.
Take the time now to prepare for and take precautions against ransomware attacks.
1. Create a Device Inventory
You need to have an up to date inventory of all devices on your network, and you need to monitor those devices on a regular basis. The list should include all security devices, access points and network devices to ensure that you are tracking every possible place a cybercriminal could access your network.
2. Automate Software Updates
All of your endpoints need the latest software to thwart exploits to the greatest extent possible. Automating software updates and patches is the best way to keep everything current. Your updated device inventory will help you to ensure that all of your endpoints are covered.
3. Segment Your Network
You need to minimize the impact if you do get hit with a ransomware attack. Segmenting your network is one way to close some doors that an attacker would otherwise use to travel throughout your network.
Once you have identified the flows through your network, you can plan segmentation to minimize the number of traffic flows that need to cross segment boundaries.
4. Keep the Network Clean
Develop a policy controlling the devices that anyone adds to the network. Check all devices to ensure that they meet basic security requirements, and will allow you to actively scan for unpatched or infected devices and data flow.
5. Use Access and Application Controls
Controlling access can include limiting admin accounts, and limiting users to only the access they need. For example, if a user only needs read access, don’t allow write access.
From an application standpoint, implement controls that prevent an application from executing from a known ransomware location such as temporary folders related to internet browsers.
6. Create a Dynamic Disaster Recovery Plan
It may be virtually impossible to put enough controls in place to stop any cybercriminal. They change their tactics often and get smarter every time. The best defense is to have a disaster recovery plan that allows you to ignore the demands for ransom and get your systems back up and running quickly.
7. Establish Off-Network Backups
Ransomware attackers count on the fact that you’ll be desperate to get your data back, and will quickly pay the ransom. You can avoid that situation by creating an off-network backup for at least critical systems. Restoring your systems as quickly as possible will definitely frustrate the cybercriminals.
Related: The 3-2-1 Backup Rule: Why It’s Important
8. Get Management Support
The fight against ransomware attacks requires the support of management. Senior executives need to make cybersecurity a priority and communicate that company-wide. In addition, a comprehensive approach to stopping attacks will require the financial support that only a dedicated senior management staff can provide.
9. Train the Staff
Many cyberattacks start from a phishing email that lets an unsuspecting employee introduce a threat. Another common source is the surfing employees do on the internet. That’s where they can inadvertently visit a website or download something that introduces a threat.
Train employees on how to identify and avoid suspect emails. Besides that, educate them about the purpose for their browser identifying suspect websites and the importance of taking the warnings seriously.
Your Organization’s Next Steps
You may find other actions you can take to avoid ransomware attacks. However, if you haven’t addressed the issues listed above, you’re particularly vulnerable.
If you want to get started on making your system more capable of frustrating ransomware attacks, contact us to learn how we can make your organization ransomware-proof.

Intensified Integrated Bio-Refinery
Lead Research Organisation: University of Bristol
Department Name: Chemistry
The most important and urgent global issue is the establishment of sustainable energy and chemicals feedstock technologies to replace the corresponding fossil fuel based technologies so as to achieve a drastic reduction of atmospheric green-house gases. This colossal task is only possible if we utilise biomass either in the form of waste or energy crops since unutilised biomass will degrade and still produce green-house gases. As regards availability, energy equivalence of biomass produced globally is some 8 times the total global energy need. However, unlike fossil fuels, biomass is widely distributed near the population centres. Hence, biomass logistics may sound to be disadvantageous since their collection for conversion at a central (existing) large scale facility will not be economical. Since the products from biomass themselves (electric power or transport fuel) will have to be distributed, biomass logistics is in fact an advantage, provided we address the problem of 'economies of scale'; that is, it is more cost effective to have processing using very large capacity plants. This drawback is remedied by adopting two new technology concepts: Process Integration and Process Intensification. Integration will provide us with energy and resource efficiency while Intensification will eliminate 'economies of scale' since intensification delivers reduced capital and operating costs (due to drastic reduction in plant size), safety, responsiveness and social acceptability. Similar to the concept of oil-refinery, biomass can be converted to high value (therapeutic) chemicals, the remaining residual biomass is converted to bioethanol through a fermentation process, the residue from which is gasified to obtain syngas. Bioethanol is a highly versatile chemical which can be used as liquid transport fuel, as means of chemical hydrogen storage or as a chemical intermediate for higher chemicals such as plastics or drugs. The intensification element will be present at every level, including the extraction process. Bioethanol production through fermentation is a well known route but it will be intensified by using genetically enhanced bacteria and compare the result with wild type. Genetically enhanced bacteria will be contained within special reactors and the physiological stresses will be controlled at microscopic scale which results in further enhancement of the fermentation productivity. Hence, such technology can be applied to other bioconversions such as drugs. Biomass waste such as municipal solid waste, sewage sludge or agriculture residues can also be converted directly to bioethanol via via gasification which produces syngas which must be cleaned and its composition should be controlled and where necessary gases should be separated into its components (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, carbon dioxide) so that they could be used as chemical building blocks of larger molecules such as ammonia, ethanol and methanol. Alternatively, syngas can be used as a fuel for internal combustion engine or fuel cells to generate electricity. These operations should be carried out at high temperatures to enhance efficiency. Syngas-to-power/higher chemicals conversions also require catalytic reactions. However, syngas is essentially a 'dirty' fuel and must be cleaned from tars, toxic components and particulate matter. We will prepare novel 'intensified' high temperature catalysts where the catalytic sites are accessible through a network of pores, like it is in nature, i.e., lungs and kidneys. Bioethanol is not only a good fuel for cars, it is also a good storage of hydrogen and it can be converted to other chemicals such as commodity plastics, ie, polyethylene. The demonstration of bioethanol as an intermediate chemical will be given.

It’s nighttime.. Shots fired in the distance, a warning from the other side. This side prepares to return fire.. Empty barrels.. Imagine the shock, feel the dread creep up their spines, kissing necks in a shiver inducing touch. There’s a war within.. Heart against mind, thoughts against emotion.. A thin veil of reason. Pick an army… One side must win… The other?Empty barrels. Noah_arkenswagg

Chapter 1 To Be A Diverse Monk Tang
In the Zhenguan 13th year, in the east, there is a Huasheng Temple in Tang Land!
In the huge square, there are more than 3,000 monks, in white robes, sitting together.
There are the annual rituals in Tang Land which are extremely boisterous. and countless people come to pay respect to Buddha from other places in Tang Land.
Among the more than 3,000 monks in white robes, the monk sitting at the highlight of the Buddhist platform is the most attractive, because he is the youngest monk in the East in the Tang Land in recent years. At the age of eighteen, he has developed profound Buddhist dharma with the blooming Buddha light behind his head, which is a manifestation of becoming a Buddha!
This young monk was born with red lips and white teeth and looks abnormally handsome, and his tender skin can scoop out water. Even the woman will be envious and embarrassed at first glance without being jealous because this little monk in a white robe is too handsome. Many women who came to pay respect to Buddha looking at the little monk with red ears and red ears are shy.
The sounds of chanting the sutra surround the square. The golden Buddha power from 3,000 monks spreads far and wide, and all the people who came to salute the Buddha were bathed in the golden light with happy smiles!
And just as everyone felt the baptism of the Buddha's light, no one found that the handsome young monk sitting on the Buddha altar suddenly opened one of his eyes. suddenly the picture was very uncoordinated, and the young monk could be heard his murmuring at close range.
"what? what's the situation? Why are there so many bald guys?"
When the moment he opened his eyes, Monk Tang was a little dazed. He just wanted to close his eyes and have a rest, but the environment changed as soon as he opened my eyes, and there were 3,000 bald dippers shining in the sun, which is definitely puzzling for every normal person.
What's more, these white bald guys still exude golden lights. Actually, it feels quite comfortable!
However, none of those are the points. The point is where is this? Why are there three thousand bald guys, like scoops, chanting the sutra around himself, and why are there so many people in strange costumes kneeling down to himself?
Monk Tang is muddling right now!
Monk Tang, whose surname is Tang and last name is monk, famous as Monk Tang. According to his mother, she was pregnant when she was eating 'Monk Tang meat'. The name was very appropriate. Monk Tang indicated that he would do something to calm down at that time.
So Monk Tang ate several bags of "Monk Tang Meat"(a kind of snack called Monk Tang Meat)!
And when Monk Tang's muddling, a crisp, sweet voice sounded in his mind:
'Ding Dong! Congratulations on the successful binding of the host and the system. Welcome the host to the world of evil travels and start a fantasy journey.'
"Evil Journey? Why not the Journey to the West! What is the situation!" Monk Tang's face show ignorance and his eyes were rounded like a ball.
The next moment, Monk Tang found a panel in his mind:
Host: Monk Tang
Occupation: Monk
Level: 19th
Experience: 0/2621440
Skills: Complete Buddhist scriptures
Props: None
Monk Tang saw this information, and the next moment, a strange memory and a huge flow of information came to his mind.
Two seconds later, Monk Tang understood the whole story. It turned out that he had a time travel and into Monk Tang, which is the body of the Golden Cicada X, and obtained all the memories and practices of Monk Tang. Monk Tang suspected that all because he is also called Monk Tang. Monk Tang regrets that he should have been called Sun Wukong!
In addition, Monk Tang also knows that the world he travels through is not the world of Journey to the West, but it is called Evil Journey. Monk Tang doesn't know why he has a furry feeling in his heart looking at the two words "Evil Journey"!
Monk Tang actually thought about what to have time travel, but when it happened to him, Monk Tang was still a little dazed, of course, just one second!
Monk Tang was puzzled not by his, but by a fact that why he became Monk Tang. To be honest, of all the characters in Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang is Monk Tang 's least favorite character, although Sanzang is knowledgeable and handsome, his disadvantages are more!
Sanzang is timid, afraid of things, and he isn't flexible, and he clearly blamed Sun Wukong sometimes he knew he was wrong, and he doesn't know the sincere apology but few words.
The only thing that Monk Tang admits was Monk Tang's good skin. Really damn it ... handsome!
However, since it is already a reality that Monk Tang has had time travel, Monk Tang vowed that he must be a different Monk Tang!
Start with the things around him, let's get rid of all the rules and regulations!
The meat is still eaten, and the wine is still drunk, and the girls are still picked up... Ahem!
In addition, he should also treat the will-be apprentices well.
In Monk Tang's view, Tang Sanzang in the original was not a qualified master at all.
As a master, you must consider for your apprentices, and as a good master, you must seek benefits for your apprentices!
However, in the original book, Tang Sanzang did nothing but chanted. When the Sun Wukong feels bad, he chanted the tight spell!
Moreover, Monk Tang also felt that the thing that protecting the master to get the Western Classics, which is how shameless is that?
This is definitely going to change. Monk Tang has confidence. Not to mention that the body itself has such cultivation. (Em? Why Monk Tang has cultivation? Is this a benefit?!) There is a system that makes Monk Tang have the confidence to protect his apprentices, and find benefits for his apprentices while they on the road to take the Western Classic, although Monk Tang feels that the Western Classic is useless to Tang Land!
Of course, if he can resume secular life, it is the best. Monk Tang still does not like this occupation!
Thinking of this, Monk Tang couldn't help but ask, "System, can I resume secular life? Change to another profession or something?"
System: 'Host, you 're not playing games. You can't change your profession, but it is also possible to resume secular life!'
"Huh? There is a chance! Tell me about what conditions if I want to resume secular life?" Monk Tang's eyes brightened, and it was even better to be able to change career.
System: 'Ding Dong, the host level is not high enough, and the permissions are limited. Host, please upgrade!'
Hearing these words, Monk Tang shocked. How could be like this? Permission? and Monk Tang asked, "How many levels do I need to get permissions?"
System: 'Not high, only need 90th levels!'
Monk Tang: "..."
Well, Monk Tang knew that it would take a long time before he could resume secular life, so he asked other things he cared about: "System, you are a system. Is there a system mall? Please show me what it has? "
System: 'OK, host!'
The task page in my mind was replaced by the mall page. There are varieties of products, martial-art methods, and props at different prices. Their prices are needed from a little experience value to tens of billions of experience value. Monk Tang drools but now he can only watch them. He has no experience at all now!

Next developer party Tuesday, Nov 23 at 1pm EST (18:00 UTC)
Nick Mathewson nickm at
Sun Nov 21 20:09:02 UTC 2010
Hello everyone,
I'm declaring the next developer party at 23 Nov at 1pm EST (I believe
that's 18:00 UTC). It will last for 2 hours of official partytime,
though please feel free to linger after. It will be in #tor-dev on The agenda is still simple: let's figure out what we're
all working on 'til the end of the year, and see how we can help each
other out. Let's not get bogged down in just one or two individual
projects; I'll moderate as needed.
Standard party notes:
* This is called a "party" because calling our IRC meetings "parties"
has produced better outcomes in the past than calling them "meetings".
* If you're not free to make it, or if you're not free to make it for
the whole time, don't worry. There will be more of these at other
times ranging from "too late in Europe" to "too early in California".
* If you're not an actual developer on Tor, you're welcome to come and
hang out, but this is mainly a time for developers to chat and plot
and generally confab.
* We're probably not going to be "partying" for every minute of all 2
hours; think of this as a salon where people wander in and out and
take breaks to go into a corner and eat cheese or debug trac or
* The format will probably change in the future as we get some
experience with it and learn more about what does (and doesn't) work
for us. If having 2 open hours is too much, let's do less.
* I'm going to try to "host" this developer party. Since you can't
serve food over IRC, and there's no need to vacuum the floor before
the party starts, I'm not quite sure what my responsibility will be
other than being around the whole time and trying to make sure the
conversation stays interesting. I'll play it by ear.
Nick Mathewson

Have various blogger buddies to completely spellcheck and revise your biography. The spellcheck once again!
If this makes sense the type music and moments you’re tangled up in, then add humour. When it doesn’t fit the music, abstain yourself.
Go International
Think about converting their biography into 1-2 additional languages by natives or expert translators. A back ground in songs will help—music genres have actually some quirks not all translators get. Choose knowledgeably!
Think of just what market and nations your own sounds was reaching. Whenever you launch with LANDR, look at the dash observe where your own tunes are online streaming the essential. Change their bio into the dialects for the best 3 countries.
Keep it new
do not forget about to update your musical bio often—take a pass at they on a monthly basis roughly. Modify they centered on newer success, secretes, series and work.
4. Guides From People That Browse Numerous Singer Bios
We expected some business pros to give all of us their utmost techniques for writing musical bios. Take notes!
PATTI SCHMIDT — event curator and radio individuality
Patti Schmidt try a curator for any famous MUTEK festival. She produces a lot of bios on their website. She is served by over 2 decades of expertise writing for radio—everything from short blurbs to 10-page artist users.
Patti’s DOs
When I’m studying musician bios, I’m always wanting a conceptualization of the musician. I like a little bit of history: Where do you beginning? That which was the revelatory access point into generating or creating?
Think about your audience—who could be the bio for? Make a few forms for all viewers: for any market in your social networking, for event articles, for any newspapers.
Think about your audience—who could be the bio for? Generate a few forms for a lot of visitors.
Take into account the enjoy your supply as a singer. The bio should cause people to passionate to come see your concerts.
I’m always looking to get folks enthusiastic about things they don’t discover they could like. So I’m searching for that nugget, that thing that conveys something pressing or fun about an artist. Needs men and women to come find it.
Describe your visual with attention to accuracy and what exactly is unique about yourself.
With regards to audio, you’re attempting to generate entryway information—especially if you’re an experimental musician. This will be a big aim of debate, because some performers believe that their particular ways should get up on its. But that does not assist me! My personal company has long been to mention app for married hookup. It’s maybe not about dumbing they down, but promoting access guidelines.
Describe your visual with attention to precision and what is distinctive about yourself.
Patti’s DON’Ts
Escape a long list of secretes and recommendations. The songs biography ought not to seem like a number of record analysis or databases. Mentioning taped operate can be helpful in knowledge an artist, however it’s only one aspect of incorporate judiciously.
Steer clear of evaluations to many other artists—treat your self as a distinctive musician.
Eliminate passive sentences. Make use of the active voice—where the topic of your phrase does the verb. Eg:
• Passive sound: borders have pressed by Aurora Halal’s musical, which mesmerizes in a bold quest for both testing and intimacy.
• Energetic sound: Aurora Halal’s songs pushes borders and mesmerizes in a bold pursuit of both testing and intimacy.
Refrain boilerplate style identifications. ‘Electronic’ is much also wide. Actually ‘techno’ can use additional specifics. Will it be hypnotic, dreamy, dark or stirred by 90s Detroit?
CHRISTINE KAKAIRE — sounds reporter and publisher
Christine Kakaire are an audio journalist, publisher, copywriter, curator and broadcast variety. She writes for all the most significant brands in sounds journalism—Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Red Bull songs Academy, Boiler area, Ableton, yahoo Gamble, Berlin society broadcast and digital music.
Christine’s DOs
Smaller is much better. Should you’ve already been creating songs for several many years after that account for most space—if perhaps not, 300 keywords is more than sufficient.
Include their best 4-5 accomplishment you are the proudest of.
Feature descriptions of songs and sound in your own keywords. This is why the bio considerably personal.
Put explanations of music and sounds in your statement. This will make their bio most private.
If someone else are reading your biography completely, it’s because they actually have a desire for you—let the songs perform the marketing for you.
That is an operating bit of book intended for news, bookers and marketers. Journalists will likely merely slashed and paste the first number of sentences… so forward burden the initial section with a brief overview of the latest things and mention historic products later.
If you’re creating it yourself, have another person to test they before you decide to release.
When your songs bio is being printed in a language that isn’t your indigenous language, query a native audio speaker to check the grammar.
Christine’s DON’Ts
Should you’ve become productive as an artist for a time, no need to include each and every gig, remix, track, release, evaluation out of your entire profession. A music bio must be a highlight reel, maybe not a longhand type of your Discogs profile.
Needless to say, your bio should really be positive, but eliminate answering they with over-the-top adjectives. Compound constantly sounds style. If you’re uncertain, err privately of toning it straight down.

It sounds like you are busy with good things. Sometimes I guess doing the things takes precedence over documenting them for posterity. It's that way with baby books at least. Baby #1 usually gets the best book. :) After that the mommy is just to busy.
2. Melanie Says:
Looks like you have things all planned out. Blogging is a habit that evolves. I've settled down to about 4 posts a week more or less. I just can't come up with something to write every day. Have a great day!

Big Batteries Booming
April 3, 2019
Renewable Energy World:
Florida Power & Light is vowing to go global-scale on a new solar and energy storage combination.
Manatee, once it’s completed in late 2021, will be charged by a nearby FPL solar power plant. The company says the plan to discharge batteries during times of higher demand will offset the need to run other power plants, thus reducing emissions and saving customers as much as $100 million through avoided fuel costs.
Florida Power & Light’s plan is to accelerate the retirements of two nearby 1970s-era gas-fired generation units, while planning to install smaller battery systems across the state. At peak efficiency, the Manatee energy storage system could power 390,000 homes for up to two hours.
Last year, FPL added a 10 MW/40-MWh battery storage project into operations at its 74.5-MW Babcock Ranch Solar Energy Center in Charlotte County. Babcock Ranch was built in 2016.
51 Responses to “Big Batteries Booming”
1. mboli Says:
What does a “409-MW energy storage facility” mean?
Is it sloppy shorthand for 409 megawatt-hours?
Does it mean a storage facility that can source 409 megawatts for 1 second?
• dumboldguy Says:
The way we talk about work-power-energy uses some confusing terms. You go from newton-meters to joules to watts. IMO, the way they’re using it is that the facility can store 409 MW of electrical power. The RATE at which that power is used is expressed in MWh. If it were all used up in one second, it would be 60 x 60 x 409 = 1,472,400 MWseconds. Draw it down over 1 hour and it would be enough to meet the needs of perhaps 350,00- to 400, 000 homes.
(and now I’m confused—-someone please check my math)
• Brent Jensen-Schmidt Says:
A chronic aggravation, and suspect occasionally used to provide a large impressive but basically meaningless number. Often just slakness too of course.
• Sir Charles Says:
409 MW/900 MWh
Just compare it with the Ludington Pumped Storage Power Plant. I think it’s the second largest PHES station in the US.
Installed capacity (maximum output): 2,172 MW
Storage capacity: 9 hours (19,548 MWh)
So the Manatee Energy Storage Center is quite a biggie for a battery station.
• mboli Says:
Agreed! I was surprised when I saw that 900 MWh.
The wikipedia entry for the Ludington station reads a little funny. The lower reservoir is Lake Michigan. And then the page dutifully provides the specifications for the lower reservoir: capacity, area, dimensions, etc.
2. dumboldguy Says:
It’s good to see such big battery arrays popping up. As opposed to pie-in-the-sky scams like storing energy in mine shafts by hanging weights in them, or the even more laughable idea to send up balloons and hang weights from them.
• dumboldguy Says:
Ah yes, the linked piece says “COULD be cheaper” and shows a CGI image of an installation that doesn’t exist. No pie-in-the-sky there! Where do we buy stock?
• mboli Says:
Really cool! Thanks for that “gravitricity” explanation. The more I contemplate it, the more reasons why it seems like an attractive idea. They could be installed almost anywhere that isn’t geologically active, comparatively small footprint, less reliance on rare metals and chemicals than batteries (but still needs magnets).
On a symbolic level, it is a nice vision to compare with the Permian Basin, dotted everywhere with stripper wells.
• Sir Charles Says:
Indeed a reasonable solution where applicable.
• mboli Says:
Heck, it should even work with flooded shafts, water being a primary issue with holes. As long as the weight is more dense than water, it wouldn’t store as much energy but it should work, right?
• Sir Charles Says:
Let’s say you use concrete block which has a weight of 2400 kg per cubic meter.
If you sink your cubic meter of concrete into air (1.2 kg per cubic meter) you have virtually the full weight of the 2.4 metric tons which can be used for the storage of your energy.
But if you sink your cubic meter of concrete into water (1000 kg per cubic meter) you have only 1.4 metric tons left to do the work for you + you have more friction.
So you’re losing at least 42% of your power and capacity.
• dumboldguy Says:
Don’t get too excited about gravity storage, MB—-there isn’t a working site anywhere in the world. And there are good reasons for that, cost and scale among them.
Excerpts from one of the companies that wants to take your money. It’s a well-done site—-lots of info and “pie-in-th-sky”, but nowhere does it have info about a working installation.
“The capacity of energy storage reaches 8 GWh or more, comparable to large Pumped Hydro Storage”.
Can you visualize a piston of even 100 m in diameter, never mind 250 m? With all those hydro sites, no one is going to bother with this idea.
• mboli Says:
Are you claiming that a 100m piston has a larger geographic footprint than an equivalent dam with two reservoirs? If you have trouble visualizing it, can you visualize four 50m pistons?
• dumboldguy Says:
Of course the “footprint” of the two reservoirs is larger, but they ARE only two lakes connected by some pipes, NOT a truly HUGE block of stone or concrete that occupies a vertical tunnel in the ground.. Look again at the Heidl site—-they are the ones who want to make money building them and they said “The rock piston should have a diameter of at least 100 meters in order to be competitive with pumped storage power plants”, and they give costs for the even bigger 250 m in diameter, their preferred size.
“If you have trouble visualizing it, can you visualize four 50m pistons?” Sure, much easier to “visualize”, but so cost-ineffective that they won’t be built.
Can YOU visualize a solid “plug” as big or bigger in area than the ENTIRE field area of a baseball or football stadium moving nicely up and down in a vertical shaft hundreds of meters? How many sites do you think can be found to accommodate that>
Go to the Heindl site and look at the engineering problems. Like I said, if you’re looking to invest, it’s hardly better than Solar Roadway.
• Sir Charles Says:
It would be eight pistons. 2^3
3. Sir Charles Says:
I believe there’s no one silver bullet when it comes to storage. There rather are plenty of opportunities which all have their own potential, depending on the terrain, the availability of resources and the specific purpose.
4. redskylite Says:
Positive news from IRENA – One third of the world’d power plant capacity is from renewable energy. .
• Sir Charles Says:
Unfortunately, installed capacity doesn’t equal to overall generation as different energy sources show different capacity factors. The best capacity factors so far you get from hydro (80%+) and offshore wind (60%+). Solar is far behind, but has other advantages.
5. redskylite Says:
6. redskylite Says:
Industrial leaders partnering to develop micro-grids . . .
ABB and Rolls-Royce announce global microgrids partnership, battery storage has changed the game for microgrid operations:
“Rolls-Royce Power Systems has announced that it will partner with Swiss-Swedish multinational technology company ABB on microgrid technology and advanced automation. The two companies hope to create an energy-efficient microgrid solution for commercial and industrial companies.
ABB will utilise the Ability e-mesh solution, a technological system that will help to reduce operational costs. The systems cloud operations will also use weather and load forecasts, along with machine learning algorithms, to increase revenue streams.
Rolls-Royce’s MTU Onsite Energy brand power system solution, which allows for standby and continuous power for microgrids, will also form a cornerstone of the partnership.
Rolls-Royce CEO Andreas Schell said: “Due to the transformation towards decarbonisation, customers need to pursue sustainable power options that also deliver utmost profitability. For this, we rely primarily on microgrids, which are autonomous energy supply systems that are efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly. ”
7. redskylite Says:
Food for thought – by an optimistic economist (afraid the age group counts me out for seeing the CO2 climb reverse – wish I could see it happen)
Can we do it in our lifetime? Well, I guess it depends how old you are. If you are 50 or under, yes I think we can do it in our lifetime. Ideally we’d go faster than that. We do know how to do it; it looks enormously attractive. So we have to get on with it.
8. Richard Seymour Says:
Ummm…. just out of curiosity, how much is that battery bank going to cost?
(so one can better estimate the return on investment that “$100 million” (per year? decade?) of fuel savings will give)
The full press releases doesn’t mention it:
9. mboli Says:
Pumped storage seems to have caught the popular imagination. And it is hardly an unproven technology, a point in its favor.
My question is: when did “dam” become “environmentally benign?”
Dams have fairly large footprints, and not long ago there was a substantial environmental movement in the US to reduce the number of dams.
Adding more pumped storage might well be a goodness. But it is hardly a cure-all.
• Sir Charles Says:
True. There is no single silver bullet. We need to foster any technology which helps transforming our systems towards renewable energy ASAP.
• dumboldguy Says:
“Dam” has never become truly “environmentally benign”—although many give benefits from generating electricity, holding back flood waters, providing irrigation, etc, all have negative impacts as well. Destruction of wildlife habitat and displacement of humans when they are built, among others. Just finished an interesting book—UNRULY WATERS: HOW RIVERS, COASTS, AND SEAS HAVE SHAPED ASIA’S HISTORY, by Sunil Amrith, Basic Books, 2018. Some surprising facts about how India and China in particular have dealt with water in the past and where they are likely headed—-a rather grim picture in all.
But that’s a topic for another discussion. The “dams” needed for pumped storage are a different animal. They are neither as big nor as disruptive as the typical dam on a river. There was (and still is) only one pumped storage site in my home state of NJ.
Located on top of a “mountain” near the Delaware river, it has been there for over 50 years and just keeps chugging along. There are virtually no other suitable sited in NJ that could be developed economically and/or without major protest. It has been well-received (except, apparently, by the local porcupines). But you and Chucky are correct, pumped storage is NOT a cure-all, just another ingredient in the pot, where suitable.
• greenman3610 Says:
not always the same as a “dam”. Some pumped storage is using old quarries and mines in mountainous areas.
Agree they have impacts – but if even a small fraction of the set mentioned above is viable, it has a potential positive role.
10. Sir Charles Says:
You can do the maths yourself.
1Wh (Watt hour) = 3600Nm (Newton metres)
9.81N (Newton earth) = 1kg
For example you have 1 metric ton of weight (1 cubic metre of water) = 1,000kg which equals to 9,810N, and a usable height of 100m (metres).
9,810N * 100m / 3600 = 272.5 Wh storage capacity
You would have to account for losses in the generator and the motor and for friction. So if you multiply that with 0.85 (85% efficiency for modern PHES) you will end up with roughly 0.23 kWh storage capacity. Solid storage might provide a slightly better efficiency as your weight doesn’t have to move through propelling turbines.
Multiply that with your metric tons and/or your hundreds of metres of height and you come to your desired result. For concrete multiply the cubic metres with 2.4. Concrete has about 2.4 times the specific weight of water.
The speed of the falling matter determines the output in Watts (W) which is of course limited by the maximum power of the generator.

1957 Chevrolet 210 Restomod
Fort Worth, TX 76137
United States
1957 Chevrolet
Stock Number
VIN Number
Category Classic Cars
All '57 Chevys are alike, right? Wrong! Take a good, long look at this stunning 1957 Chevrolet 210 Restomod and you'll find that a huge amount of time, effort, and money went into the build, resulting in a show-stopper classic that can hammer down the highway better than almost any other vintage ride on four wheels. By all account this was an open-checkbook restoration, so you know it's dialed-in everywhere you look, but you really need to see it closer to appreciate just how spectacular it .....
really is. The color is Viper Red, a wonderful, high-impact, bright yet sophisticated hue that gives this Tri-5 the very expensive look it deserves. The investment in quality bodywork is evident everywhere you look and the long flanks and bright 210 trim doesn't leave any areas for shoddy workmanship to hide. The deep, glossy finish not only makes heads turn with its flashy look, but it's surprisingly easy on the eyes, and was applied with an eye toward functionality, so you don't need to be afraid to drive it. No liberties were taken, no chopped roof, no shaved handles, and no chrome or stainless deletion, as it was important to the builders to pay respect to the timeless '57 Chevy design. And although the paint isn't perfect (would you even drive it if it was?), it's still pretty darn good and looks so fresh that it's bound to turn heads for years to come. Spectacular chrome only enhances the sparkling, high-quality look and you know few things are more expensive to refinish than the brightwork on a '50s automobile. Add in the bright stainless body trim that's a highlight of the 210 models and you have a car that doesn't have a single wrong line on it anywhere. There's not much 1957 left inside after a full-blown custom restoration featuring high-end leather-clad benches fore and aft, a custom center console up front, and spectacular ornate door panels that complement the red upholstery perfectly. The stock Chevy dash was slightly reworked and now houses a full set of bright white Dakota digital gauges in the original 3-gauge instrument panel and even though the overall look pays homage to 1957, it sure seems sleeker and more high-tech, doesn't it? A billet steering wheel with red leather on the rim anchors the cockpit atop a polished tilt column, and a long expanse of polished billet trim is the perfect contrast to the otherwise bright red metal dash. Plush red carpets are protected with stock vinyl floormats below, there's a taut headliner above, and a custom center console houses a set of cup holders and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth head unit that manages the tunes. Rounding out the options list is the modern A/C system that was cleverly installed into the dash, and yes, it's blowing ice cold R134a refrigerated air throughout the cabin. Out back, the back seat looks untouched and the trunk was beautifully finished to match the cabin, with matching red carpets and hidden side panels with an ingrained Chevrolet symbol in the middle adding a trick touch. Instead of a ho-hum drivetrain, this beautiful 210 packs an upgraded and venerable 5.3L LS V8 Vortec motor. Like you, we're tired of seeing garden-variety engines in these cars, and this high-horsepower modern engine will definitely impress passengers and onlookers alike. It's supremely smooth and thanks to modern fuel injection, a polished LS1 intake and injectors, and a PSI wire harness and computer, it starts quickly, idles smoothly, and pulls without a hitch. At shows, you'll be extra proud to pop the hood and show off the all the bling, including the ceramic-coated long-tube headers, the polished power brake system, and polished A/C compressor, and the bright air-intake tube and cone filter, all of which absolutely pop out against the Viper Red inner fenders and firewall. It's really dressed for show under the hood, and the Eddie Motorsports S-Drive serpentine belt system keeps it all working in unison. The shine and detail continue to the chassis where you'll find fresh components throughout, tubular upper and lower control arms, a satin-black dusted frame and floorpans, and a brand new gas tank. Power 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors are at every corner, and the H-pipe dual exhaust system burbles through a pair of Flowmaster mufflers that sound fantastic. A 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission feeds a rugged rear end that's ready for red light-to-red light action and long distance cruises alike, so whether you're hitting the Power Tour or just taking the wife out on a Sunday, this 210 is ready to go. 18-inch chrome Coys look great in any iteration, and those blackwall radials are fat enough to handle all asphalt conditions and have plenty of tread life left in them. With only 247 miles on the clock since the build was finished two years ago, this 210 cost a heck of a lot more to build than the asking price today. If you like a bit of sophistication with your performance, this Tri-5 Chevy Restomod delivers in a very big way. Call today!

Practice Thursday 9-9-2021
There IS a bus today
Practice 2: Balance/Speed. Continue to work on body mechanics, now add sail trim and boat balance and speed. Today we will work on the basics of sail trim along with proper weight balance for maximum speed.
FOCUS: Understand the concept and basics of BOAT BALANCE….what is it, how do you get it, and how can you edit it…….. Steering with the rudder is your enemy. You must learn to use your body and your sail trim to drive the boat. Can you sail rudderless? If not, why? What are you missing, and shouldn’t you work to be able to do it? how about on a 29er?

Random Photos Part Three
One of my favorite people, Ernie Hudson.
Someone must have tipped off the paps really quickly to get Caroline Giuliani in handcuffs being led from the store where she allegedly shoplifted.
And after coming out of jail.
The serious one Giovanni Ribisi.
Gwen Stefani can't seem to find Gavin.
There he is doing the family whistle.
If it is August it must be time for Harrods to bring out the Santa Claus globe.
Seal and Heidi Klum and more vacation pictures.
Oh how I wish that Iman was calling me.
Ian Ziering without his wife. Don't worry they were together two weeks ago.
I have never been able to hold a cell phone like that. Jessica Alba can.
Jacinda Barrett and Gabriel Macht.
Doesn't it look like James Caan is on his knees? Bigger chairs people.
Lady J said...
Love Heidi, Seal, and their family.
I heard Guilliani's daughter had the money in her pocket to pay for what she had yet she stole anyway. Someone also told me that the store said they never would have called the cops if they had known she was Guilliani's kid.
not on my dollar said...
Kleptomaniacs steal from others in spite of the fact that they can afford it.
RocketQueen said...
@Lady J - why doesn't that surprise me? (that if they had known who she was they wouldn't have called the cops). That kind of stuff kinda makes me hate the world.
Mooshki said...
"If it is August it must be time for Harrods to bring out the Santa Claus globe."
Shoot me now.

@James Caan's face: WTF???!!!
Seriously, he looks like that scary Amish-looking dude from Poltergeist 2! Eeeeek!
Aimée said...
I had funny tingles from the "Gwen Stefani can't seem to find Gavin." comment...i don't remember any blinds off the top of my head that would match though.
Robert said...
@RQ: I hear that. The fact that she's Giuliani's kid is MORE reason to call the cops. She can afford the stuff but stole it anyway--a "cry for help?"
New Life and Attitude said...
Mmmmm Gabriel Macht . . . more pictures of him please!
Lana's Blog said...
I kind of wish Gwen wore somewhat normal clothes once in awhile. Dressing sooo out there every single day seems a little desperate.
Did Heidi and Seal lose one?
Geebz said...
Can I just say that Ernie Hudson is looking SPECTACULAR!?! He aged well like a good French wine. Mommy likes!
The back of Iman's dress is the hotness!
Nicole said...
Love the picture of Gabriel Macht! Keep 'em coming!
Tara said...
Wow, who would've thought that Ian Z and BAG would age the best out of all the 90210 guys? They were always the two I found most unattractive (out of a cast of unattractive men), yet they look the best now.

Damascus Government Hands List Of Its Representatives To Constitutional Committee
Damascus Government Hands List Of Its Representatives To Constitutional Committee
the Syria Foreign Ministry building
On May 26, the Syria Foreign Ministry handed a list containing names of members of the committee tasked with discussing the current constitution to Russian and Iranian ambassadors in Damascus, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
The establishment of this committee was one of the main results of the Syrian National Dialogue Conference held in January.
“Foreign and Expatriates Ministry in the Syrian Arab Republic has handed the ambassadors of the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus respectively a list of the members’ names of the committee tasked with discussing the current constitution whom the Syrian government supports,” a Syrian diplomat told the SANA.
Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad agreed to send representatives to the Syrian constitutional committee during a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on May 17. Prior to the meeting, the Damascus government refused to name its representatives likely due to the instable situation around the city of Damascus back then.
Later on May 24, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov confirmed that the Damascus government will hand over a list of its representatives to the constitutional committee to the UN within two days.
So far, Russia, Iran, Turkey and France have voiced their support to the constitutional committee that will operate in the framework of the UN and the Geneva process. However, local observers believe that the committee’s mission will fail due to the strong influence of the US over the representatives of the Syrian opposition in Geneva.

I tried to look into what sort of powers this committee will have, it appears to be some sort of ad hoc congress that will reform the civil Syrian government who’s legal authority depends totally on its ability to reach a reconciliation between the sides. Although SF oversimplifies the problems because US influence is the least of their worries. Assad wants the committee to only make amendments to Syria’s pre-war constitution while the UN and the Syrian Opposition wants the committee to be able to totally rewrite it. The 150 man committee represents most factions and sub-factions in Syria whether they be loyal to Assad, neutral, or opposition, but there is no pretense that some groups will be excluded and others will refuse to recognize the committee. Part of the reason this committee exists is because Russia (who is downsizing their military) is diplomatically pressing both sides to reach a formal end to the war so they can go home.
As you see that the many conflicting interests and agendas in this committee might cause it to fail, keep in mind that many groups (mainly foreign backed Rebels and Assad himself) can simply ignore any resolution they don’t like.

Living with a Muslim
In Louisiana I shared an apartment with a Shiite Muslim from Iran. He was an Engineering student. People asked me what it was like living with a follower of Islam. Some people even thought I was dumb for doing so. They thought that I was living with "terrorists".
The level of distrust between Christians and Muslims is still there though on the surface people try to look "tolerant". Tolerance is really in the heart.
Let me share my experience. I learned from my Shiite friend that people in Iran are fond of beans and I got to taste how Iranians cook their beans and lamb. I also showed him what Filipinos eat. He liked "laing".
We talk about the latest Hollywood flicks and of course Iranian and Filipino cinema. My friend was surprised that Iranian movies are shown in Manila.
And when we talk about the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible, our discussion is really what is common to both Holy books without putting down the differences.
And I learned why Muslims pray 5 times a day and Islam's precepts. My friend learned why Christians pray the way they do.
And my Muslim friend asked me every Sunday a question I haven't heard from fellow Christians in a very long time, "Have you gone to Church?" To which I reply "Have you said your prayers?' I don't even bother to say that to a fellow Christian!
A bit of holiness in the course of the day. Perhaps God will be kind and show us Paradise. Amen, Inshallah!
DJB Rizalist said...
Robbin Padilla, the movie actor, is also probably the best known convert to Islam in the Philippines. But a weird thing happened to him in 2005. He made a movie called "La Visa Loca" co starring a British actor, Paul H., in Manila, whom I happen to know and who told me the story of what happened.
In the movie's plot, Paul plays a Hollywood director who arrives in the RP and meets Robbin who is playing his limo driver. Director asks driver to help him shoot a movie involving a live crucifixion, such as he heard was done in Pampanga. Driver readily agrees and finds a friend who says he's willing to do it for X number of pesos, which driver gets from director and gives to friend.
On the day of the shoot, friend does not show up! Director is mad, but tells driver, he will pay driver lots of money and get him a VISA to the US on top of it. Driver hesitates, but agrees bcoz the visa has been his dream from childhood. So in the movie, Robbin Padilla plays Jesus Christ in a movie being shot by Paul. They go to America and much else happens in the movie. It's a big hit in Manila when the movie was released, paul and robbin made lots of money.
BUT, remember that Robbin is the most famous Muslim in the RP, so a few weeks later, he gets death threats and reportedly a death sentence or fatwah for becoming the most famous crucifixee that year, causing him to take an extended vacation in Australia.
Well, of course we Catholics have some perfectly silly ideas too involving blood and wine and such.
But I would be very curious to know from your friend what he thinks of this behavior by Filipino muslims, because lots of the Muslims I know seemed abashed and embarrassed by the whole thing.
blackshama said...
Crucifixion reenactments to Richard Dawkins as silly as Fatwas and Catholic excommunications and censures and Iglesia ni Cristo "pagtitiwalag"!
I think my Shiite friend wouldn't care about how Filipinos practice their religion especially that of Robin Padilla's. They have much more significant problems in Iran like their President.
While we respect freedom of religion (after all religion itself is a by product of Darwinian selection), we can't give much respect to silliness, can we?

Dear 43 Things Users,
- The Robots.
Export My Content
cofiboi is doing 5 things including…
Go to a relationship school
1 cheer
cofiboi has written 6 entries about this goal
ending it
break-ups are usually ugly.
my most recent one was no exception.
but i had to end it. i had to get away from my partner before i do more damage.
i’ve been in both ends of the ‘break-up’ spectrum. i was both a ‘dumper’ and a ‘dumpee.’
this time, i was the dumper.
iw ouldn’t elaborate on the reasons because it would be unfair to him. he wouldn’t have any avenues to defend himself.
let’s just say that i tried to make it as clean as possible. less painful for him and i want us to be friends, not bitter exes.
i hope that he moves on soon. eventually he will, but the sooner he starts the healing process, the less painful it would be.
i am not happy that i ended the relationship, but i am relieved.
on security
people commit to a relationship for a lot of reasons.
and one of the most common reason is: security
because going through life is crazy enough and sometimes we need someone or something to help us keep our sanity.
when we were kids, we had security blankets, our folks, our imaginary friends, our sandbox friends, we kept playdates and we went to birthday parties. things, people and events that acknowledge our existence.
when we grow up, we look to your friends, our jobs, our passion/s.
then we commit.
my relationships, romantic that is, are always based on one thing: security.
i wanted to go home every night to someone who could make me forget the day’s worries.
somebody who reminded me that i am loved and i matter.
but sometimes, security alone is a flimsy reason why you commit. there are other factors as well. like love.
can you stay in a relationship for security alone or love should always be in the equation?
what if you fall out of love but staying means that you would always have somebody who cares for you?
isn’t security a reason enough to stay?
i’m afraid i’m falling out of love. i know, i know being in a commitment is more than just being in love.
it’s a decision that you make everyday of wanting to be with that person.
i guess i just need to learn more lessons on relationship.
lesson two: playing the break-up card
some partners use this card as an ace on their sleeves. so one has to prepare if ever they pull it out and you get caught by surprise. of course they don’t mean it, but that’s their way of keeping you, sometimes they just wait for your reaction once they say :’let’s just break it off…’
don’t come begging, but don’t be stuck up either, learn to make them understand that if they don;t mean it, then they shouldn’t say it…
lesson one: on finances (first major subject)
being in a relationship and sharing finances could spell big trouble. unless the both you have laid out rules on how things are going to be. the best time to share your finances would be if you have been together for at least a year- well, that’s in my opinion anyway. :-)
understand your better half 'better'
nobody is really ready to be in a relationship. it just happens. you can prepare for it but then again, once it’s there, one can never really understand the complexities of a relationship. the emotional highs and lows of MY relationship makes me want to stop and take a breather from all of the madness. but i can’t. because i want to spend every minute with him, regardless of the emotional rollercoaster he is forcing me to ride. so there’s my dillemma. i need to ‘enroll’ in some relationship school just to keep up with things…

A group of volunteers had a bit of a shock when they cleaned up a river in south Wales - and found hundreds of items of rubbish.
Over 50 volunteers from the Cardiff Rivers Group helped clean the River Ogmore on Saturday.
But as the water level dropped, they were left stunned with what they found.
Cardiff Rivers Group cleaned up part of the River Ogmore
The team managed to collect 200 tyres, five trollies, traffic cones, a road barrier, wheelbarrow, a large gas canister and 50 bags of smaller litter full of smaller pieces of plastic, such as cotton buds, bottle tops and bits of rope.
Local resident, Angela Parry and family, provided teas and coffees for the volunteers as they took breaks during the work.
Hundreds of tyres were found in the water
She said: "A huge thanks to Cardiff Rivers Group and all the volunteers for cleaning this section of the Ogmore River - it was staggering how much rubbish had been dumped, especially the tyres!
"It was a fantastic morning. I would encourage anybody who enjoys the stunning scenery of Ogmore river to take part in the next clean up and help us maintain its beauty for many years to come."
Secretary, Nigel Barry, said: “It will be hard for people to comprehend but the 200 tyres removed today is a small reflection of what’s actually in the estuary. The amount of tyres, trolleys and cones that we saw today is criminal. We had to prize volunteers away from the water in the end!
"Three and half hours in the bitterly cold weather and tough conditions was exhausting.
"The estuary is a wonderful habitat for wildlife and we saw lots of bird species, but in terms of littering, the state of this estuary is disgusting and it will take volunteer groups like ourselves years to restore it to its former glory."

Readers ask: How To Mate Betta Fish?
Readers ask: How To Mate Betta Fish?
How long does it take for bettas to mate?
They’ll both be between 4-12 months when you’re ready to breed them. Male shows no signs of lethargy or disease. Male has bright coloration (red being most attractive to females). Male has long, undamaged funs.
What is the easiest way to breed betta fish?
How do you know when your betta fish is ready to mate?
How do you know when your betta fish is ready to mate? When the female betta is ready to mate, her colors will darken, her ovipositor will become more visible, and she will develop vertical bars along her body. She will also accept the male’s bubble nest. A deepened color is also a sign of readiness in male bettas.

Can female and male betta fish live together?
Can a female betta kill a male?
If you simply buy a male and female fish and drop them in the same tank, there’s a good chance the male will kill the female.
How can you tell if a female betta is full?
Are betta fish easy to breed?
Bettas are at their peak for breeding between four and 12 months. Older fish are still able to breed, but you will have more success with younger ones. Finally, you need to consider the size of the fish. They should be roughly the same size, and the female should be slightly smaller than the male.
Do betta fish eat their babies?
In order to prevent the larger ones from harming the smaller ones, the babies must be separated by size. In summary, bettas can eat their babies, but if they have the proper instincts and conditioning, they should not. Most bettas make great parents, both males and females, but remember that not all do.
You might be interested: Often asked: How To Cook Fish Fillets In A Pan?
How long do betta eggs take to hatch?
Male betta fish will place the eggs into a bubble nest, which he will create. The baby betta fish will hatch in about three days. As they hatch, male betta fish will watch and remain under the bubble nest, catching any eggs that fall out. Once hatched, the babies are called “fry” and are very tiny.
Should I remove Betta bubble nest?
It’s perfectly fine to destroy the nest for cleaning purposes as long as it doesn’t contain eggs. It’s more of a priority to have a clean tank than it is to salvage the nest. In fact, your betta will be less interested in making bubble nests again if the water is dirty. Worse yet, he could get sick.
What age do betta fry get color?
Once the fry reach eight to nine weeks of age, they will begin to show their colors.
Should I destroy my bettas bubble nest?
Destroying Betta Bubble Nests There is nothing wrong if your male betta does not build a bubble nest but it is a good idea to promote nest building. If you see a bubble nest in the tank, there is no need to destroy it because it is completely a natural behaviour. Your betta will not get angry and may build a new one.
Do male betta fish kill their babies?
When the spawning is complete the female will look for a place to hide. At this point in time she is to be taken out of the tank or else the male can kill her. The male will then pick up the eggs and ‘blow’ them into the nest and thereafter he will guard them until they hatch.

Will a betta fish kill a goldfish?
Can I have 2 female bettas together?
Yes. You can keep two bettas together, provided they are not both male. You can keep one male and one female betta together. The only issue here is that the male betta may harass the female to try and trigger spawning behavior.

计步是智能穿戴设备和智能手机的重要功能,在健身、医疗和导航定位领域被广泛使用.针对现有计步算法中对不同运动状态变化适应性差、不能有效排除手腕抖动等非行走因素干扰的问题,提出多级自适应门限计步算法.该方法分为3级门限控制:先检测加速度信号中的峰值点和谷值点; 接着基于获得的峰值点和谷值点,计算人物的步频特征,根据所得步频特征判断人物的运动状态,如慢走、快走或跑步; 最后,针对每种运动状态,自适应分配对应的时间差阈值和动态峰谷值差值阈值,实现多级自适应门限计步.试验结果表明,所提多级自适应门限计步算法可完成对人物不同运动状态、传感器不同姿态的高精度计步,计步准确率可达95%以上.
The step counter plays an important role in the smart phone and intelligent wearable device. It has been widely used in the fields of body building, medical treatment, and navigation. In order to handle the performance degradation caused by various motion states and non-walking interference, e.g., waist's shaking, in existing pedometer methods, we propose a novel pedometer method based on the adaptive multilevel thresholding technology, which can be divided into three thresholds controlling. Firstly, it finds the peaks and valleys by using the accelerometer data. Secondly, it calculates the frequency characteristic of human's movement based on the obtained peaks and valleys, and subsequently determines the motion state(such as walking slowly, walking fast or running). Thirdly, it adaptively assigns the time threshold and peak-valley threshold according to the estimated motion states to achieve step counting. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can adapt to different motion states and different sensor mounting positions, and obtain an average accuracy rate above 95%.

Just as there are slow news days, it seems there are also slow science days— the American Journal of Infection Control today released a very important study alerting us that the fist-bump is a more sanitary greeting than the handshake. Seems reasonable.
The study was done, probably hilariously, at the Institute of Biological, Environmental, and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom, where "researchers performed trials to determine if alternative greetings would transmit fewer germs than the traditional handshake." You won't believe what they found!:
In this experiment, a greeter immersed a sterile-gloved hand into a container of germs. Once the glove was dry, the greeter exchanged a handshake, fist bump, or high-five with a sterile-gloved recipient. Exchanges randomly varied in duration and intensity of contact.
After the exchange, the receiving gloves were immersed in a solution to count the number bacteria transferred during contact. Nearly twice as many bacteria were transferred during a handshake compared to the high-five, and significantly fewer bacteria were transferred during a fist bump than a high-five. In all three forms of greeting, a longer duration of contact and stronger grips were further associated with increased bacterial transmission.
Ideally, of course, we would stop insisting on touching each other at all. We won't, though, as the salutatory pressing together of extremities is the only thing that separates us from animals.
“Adoption of the fist bump as a greeting could substantially reduce the transmission of infectious diseases between individuals,” said David Whitworth, PhD, one of the study's authors. “It is unlikely that a no-contact greeting could supplant the handshake; however, for the sake of improving public health we encourage further adoption of the fist bump as a simple, free, and more hygienic alternative to the handshake."
What could possibly go wrong? Oh.

Iran launches nuclear plant days before UN deadline
ARAK (Reuters) — Iran’s president launched a new phase in the Arak heavy-water reactor project on Saturday, saying Tehran would not give up its right to nuclear technology despite Western fears it aims to make atomic bombs.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking just days before an August 31 deadline set by the UN Security Council for Iran to halt uranium enrichment — the West’s biggest worry in Iran’s atomic programme — or face possible sanctions.
“No one can deprive a nation of its rights based on its capabilities,” Ahmadinejad said in his speech to inaugurate the heavy-water project.
The Arak project, once complete, will produce plutonium as a by-product that could be used to make atomic warheads. But the reactor that will produce this is still being built.
Western nations accuse Iran of seeking to master technology to produce nuclear weapons. Iran, the world’s fourth largest oil exporter, insists it only wants to produce electricity.
“Iran is not a threat to anybody, not even to the Zionist regime,” Ahmadinejad said, using Iran’s term for its arch-enemy Israel, which the Islamic republic does not recognise.
Although Iran faces possible sanctions if it does not heed the UN deadline, divisions among world powers over how to handle the Islamic republic could delay any action.
The Los Angeles Times reported Washington had indicated it was ready to form an independent coalition to freeze Iranian assets and restrict trade if necessary. Analysts say sanctions imposed by just a few states would have limited impact.
A White House spokeswoman said on Saturday the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany were consulting about Iran’s response to the package of incentives the six offered Tehran to halt uranium enrichment.
“We all share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability,” spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
Iran is likely to raise further fears in Western capitals by pressing ahead with the heavy-water project near Arak, 190km southwest of the capital Tehran.
“An Iranian official said the project is not a proliferation risk because heavy- water has no military use. Diplomats say it is not a constructive step.
“It’s not a proliferation risk in itself, but the associated operations — still to be constructed — would be.
“And the timing seems particularly poor,” said a Vienna-based diplomat familiar with operations of the UN nuclear watchdog in Iran.
Nuclear inspectors
The UN Security Council resolution setting the Aug. 31 deadline to halt enrichment also cited a call by the UN watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for Iran to reconsider building its heavy-water reactor project.
The Arak complex was protected by dozens of anti-aircraft guns and surrounded by a four-metre high barbed wire fence.
Photographers and TV journalists were asked not to take any images except in areas where they were specifically permitted.
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, Gholamreza Aghazadeh, told the students’ ISNA news agency that IAEA inspectors would visit Arak next week.
Inspectors routinely visit Iranian facilities but diplomats say a group was recently denied access to an Iranian underground site. Iran denies hindering routine access but earlier this year stopped allowing snap checks of its facilities by inspectors.
The West’s main concern is Iran’s programme for enriching uranium, a process that can be used to make fuel for nuclear power stations or material for bombs.
But Iran has so far refused to stop the work and shrugged off the threat of sanctions, saying it would push already soaring oil prices higher still, hurting industrial nations.
Iran’s deputy parliament speaker, Mohammad Reza Bahonar, warned the West in comments published by Iran’s Sharq newspaper on Saturday that putting pressure on the country could prompt public calls for Iran to pursue a weapons programme.
“Be afraid of the day that the Iranian nation comes into the streets and stages demonstrations to ask the government to produce nuclear weapons to combat the threats,” he said.
Iran, responding to the incentives offered by the six world powers, has only hinted it might be ready to consider halting uranium enrichment as a result of talks, not as a precondition.
The reply seemed designed to divide opinion among the six powers.
The United States has warned of swift action on sanctions.
Britain, Germany and France have been less conclusive in public. But Russia and China, both trade partners of Iran, have been unwilling and could veto sanctions in the Security Council.

How can I get my mother to clean her hands after using the bathroom? - AgingCare.com
How can I get my mother to wash her hands after using the bathroom?
Asked by
My mother has senile dementia and is also blind. She is continent; but doesn't clean herself well when she has a BM. She has it on her hands, under her fingernails and sometimes on her clothes and bedside comode. I have tried rubber gloves and disposable wipes but she forgets to use them. I got her hand sanitizer; but she thinks it is hand cream. Any ideas?

Sigh! I wish I could think of something you haven't. You aren't alone in this, but that thought doesn't clean your mom's hands. You'll want those sanitizers for door knobs and other places around the house for your own health. I've seen people with dementia digging in their pants - they just don't know not to. For you mom, she can't see the mess, so that makes it different, but just as hard.
Any ideas out there?
Have you seen the movie "Sunshine Cleaning"? You can get a sense of what is needed to clean up bio hazards if you watch that movie...the cleaners have to take a course and be certified. And here you expect a demented woman who is blind to do it?? Cheesh...
This is now "war," and you must arm YOURSELF with what you need to address this health issue. Poop on the body can cause sores. Want a more complex problem, try to clean a poopy bottom that has open infected sores on it...caused by poop and urine.
This is a health hazard, and if this happened in a public place (say your mom pooped in her pants and the mess got on rug at the mall), the mall has a biohazard kit to deal with it. It is a biohazard, no doubt about it.
You have to accompany her to the bathroom, help her wipe herself or do it yourself, get foamy perineal cleanser (No-Rinse Body Bath is good...use a bit with water to refill foamy dispenser.) Get latex gloves, a few boxes of them. Get paper towels and lots of plastic bags. Get more toilet paper.
You help her wipe her butt, and then if necessary totally clean her private parts with perineal soap (no rinse needed). You'd be amazed how you have to rub and rub to get all the poop off. Collect all the soiled paper towels and rubber gloves, diapers/pads, etc. in plastic bag, then another, then another if necessary. Sometimes I add a few tbs of baking soda between bags to help absorb odors.
Get anti bacterial foamy surface cleanser and clean every surface she (and you with your poopy gloved hands) has touched, plus the toilet seat. While she is washing her hands (you make sure she scrubs her hands if they have poop on them), you clean handles of her walker. After she sits back down, you put gel waterless handcleaner on her hands.
If you have to wash clothing with poop, wash them first by hand (or rinse off in the toilet), then totally launder separately. If too gross, just slough off most of the poop into the toilet, and throw away clothing. If possible use bleach on the clothing, or use laundry detergent with grape seed oil, which is used by hospitals and nursing homes. Perhaps use bleach solution to spray down the laundry tub.
I read that one of the most unhealthy surfaces is the folding tables at public laundromats.
It sounds like SHE can't do it and you want an answer to get HER to do it. I've had many discussions with Mom about hand cleaning, public health hazard. She was even a nurse! I'd even harp about her rubbing her eyes...this gives her eye infection...
To me, her bathroom habits are horrifying. I HAVE to accompany her to the bathroom and help her as much as I can. I have the respite caregiver occasionally trim and clean under her nails. There is some saying that "character starts when 'convenience' ends." Dealing with someone else's incontinence (all of it, all the time) is one of those lines in the sand. And if not you, then someone, a professional caregiver.
I can't believe you think you can train her to do this herself. Not just cleaning herself, but all the surfaces and clothing...dysentery anyone? She's at that point...
oh, perhaps a change in her meds will make her more capable. My mom frequently improves after going of meds...Seroquel being the latest disaster. Good riddance to that! Oh, if your mother's habits are that bad, then she could have a urinary tract infection. Clearing that up frequently improves mental condition...so perhaps she'll be more able to care for herself.
ThirdTimeAround - it must be exhausting. I wonder: might it be a bit less so if you cut out the discussion part? Once you hear your MIL get to the pulling up her underpants part, knock, breeze in cheerfully and help her wash her hands, acting like it's routine and "all part of the service, here!" You'll save a lot of wasted breath that way.
Hello. My mother 85 yrs old with middle stage Alzheimer's has this same problem. She would get poop on her self, fingers, clothes and bedding. She just doesn't know what she is doing. I had done most of the stuff mentioned above, much easier to use baby wipes. I still have to laundry quite often, more with pee than poop, darn leaky diapers. Remember to take them to the bathroom often. Remember when you go, take them right after.
Since I care for her 24/7. I just go in there with her. In the beginning she didn't want me there. I told her since she had her stroke her brain doesn't work properly, that I have to clean her. I use rubber gloves and baby wipes that I throw in the trash can after use. The wipes cleans any dried and sticky messes. Sometimes she will go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and clean herself incorrectly. in the morning, I'll clean her all over with the wipes. Buy boxes of gloves and cases of baby wipes. Keep a nail brush by the sink for clean up of yucky gross nails. I use soap on the brush and scrub her nails.
After each bathroom use, I tell her she must WASH her hands. I guild her to the sink and tell her step by step how to wash her hands. Even if she doesn't clean herself, at least she seems to remember how to wash up after.
When we go out I always carry a small kid backpack filled with bathroom clean up essentials (gloves, wipes, plastic bags, change of clothes, Depends and sanitizer). When we go to a public place, and she need to use the bathroom. I'm ready to care for her. You have to think of elders as a small child. You are the parent now.
Good luck to you, hope this helps. If you just can't get over the thought of cleaning someone up. You'll need to hire help.
I think all the answers have covered everything. She can't see to do it so doesn't know where the poop has landed.
She doesn't remember good bathroom habits assuming she ever had them.
You have the right idea with the gloves and wipes etc. if it's really bad just stand her in the shower and use a bowl of water to wash her down. I am a great believer in good old soap and water, after all that is what we had in the good old days. Keep wash cloths and towels just for this purpose and launder often. Check and change diaper often as you would with a baby. use a washable waterproof pad on her chair. If thats too hot and irritating put a towel over if for comfort. If you know when she has a bowel movement try and cut her off at the pass by taking her to the bathroom at that time. When dealing with diuretics the worst time will be the first couple of hours so you may need to take her to pee every half hour or so. You can adjust the time depending on how much she pees. Don't try and do anything during that time let her relax with her feet up which will help the diuretic to work better. If you have an early Dr appt give her the pill when you get back home. It will work just as well at 11 AM as 7AM.
There is no correct textbook way to handle this there is only your way whatever works best for you. The very best way of course is to have someone else do it!!!
ThirdTimeAround, you go in there and assist, sorry, you wipe her butt or install a faucet bidet to hose it all down. And you both wash your hands together. So sorry you are saddled with this.
UGH! My husband and I have his mother staying with us 24/7. She has stage 6 b alzheimers. we put up signs but she ignores them most of the time. So I stand outside the bathroom to listen. When I hear that she doesn't wash, I wait until she gets outside the bathroom and tell her to wash. She lies and says she just did. I say I didn't hear any water running. She lies again. Very exasperating! We put sanitizer on her hands in this case. But it is very exhausing also, especially when she has to have Lasix pills and she goes umteen times a day. Unfortunately it only gets worse.
When it comes to bathroom habits it is so hard to change. My sig other, who has no medical or memory issue, will go upstairs to use his bathroom, but comes downstairs to the kitchen to wash his hands.
So that means he had touched the bathroom door knob, hand on the stair railing, then touches the on handle on the kitchen sink. Once I muttered "is the upstairs sink broken?" but that went in one ear and out the other.... [sigh]
glitterart , i am doing excat same thing youre doing hahaha .
yes dad is like a little boy . im his mom . aint that something ,.
born then they grow up into a man and it reverse back toward to begin a baby .
sad but thats how it is . god s ways , i dont know why ... maybe just to let us know someday youre be like that ...
eeek , my hands are so dry its always in water . yes i use gloves when its bathroom time . thank god for those gloves !
Ditto to alzcaregiver. The only thing you can do is physically help her. Even without dementia, the blindness would be a barrier to appropriate hygiene. She needs someone to assist with the handwashing (and any other thing washing too). Failure to properly clean the peri area after urination or bowel movements, as alzcaregiver said, leaves your mom open to infection and skin breakdown. The assistance doesn't always have to come from you. Does she have a professional caregiver at any time during the day? Do other family members assist with her care. Is it time to consider residency in a nursing home or assisted living residence that specializes in memory care? Make sure your mom has the help she needs. Remember, the poor hygiene is likely not only a symptom of her dementia but a result of her blindness.

One who does absolutely nothing in life but stay on a couch (not necessarily theirs) and surf the internet or watch tv (not necessarily their computer or their tv). Unlike porch monkeys, who are racially stereotyped, couch monkeys can be any gender, color, or sexual orientation. (There's no need for Randall to "take it back")

Don't read that post -- it's a CouchMonkey!
by schnoober February 23, 2009
A person who camps out on the damn couch all the time complaining about why they can't work because of a disability, fucked up surgery, or whatever. Generally someone you have to put up to get something else.
Hey, I'm cruising by Scotty's for a sack, wanna come?
Nah, I know that John will be there...
C'mon it won't be that long...
Fuck that couch monkey. C-ya.

Teach Your Children Well: Basic Financial Education
Even before your children can count, they already know something about money: it's what you have to give the ice cream man to get a cone, or put in the slot to ride the rocket ship at the grocery store. So, as soon as your children begin to handle money, start teaching them how to handle it wisely.
Making allowances
When it comes to giving children allowances:
• Consider "raises" for children who manage money well.
Take it to the bank
Piggy banks are a great way to start teaching children to save money, but opening a savings account in a "real" bank introduces them to the concepts of earning interest and the power of compounding.
Shopping sense
Television commercials and peer pressure constantly tempt children to spend money. But children need guidance when it comes to making good buying decisions. Teach children how to compare items by price and quality. When you're at the grocery store, for example, explain why you might buy a generic cereal instead of a name brand.
By explaining that you won't buy them something every time you go to a store, you can lead children into thinking carefully about the purchases they do want to make. Then, consider setting aside one day a month when you will take children shopping for themselves. This encourages them to save for something they really want rather than buying on impulse. For "big-ticket" items, suggest that they might put the items on a birthday or holiday list.
Don't be afraid to let children make mistakes. If a toy breaks soon after it's purchased, or doesn't turn out to be as much fun as seen on TV, eventually children will learn to make good choices even when you're not there to give them advice.
Earning and handling income
Creating a balanced budget
With greater financial independence should come greater fiscal responsibility. Older children may have more expenses, and their extra income can be used to cover at least some of those expenses. To ensure that they'll have enough to make ends meet, help them prepare a budget.
To develop a balanced budget, children should first list all their income. Next, they should list routine expenses, such as pizza with friends, money for movies, and (for older children) gas for the car. (Don't include things you will pay for.) Finally, subtract the expenses from the income. If they'll be in the black, you can encourage further saving or contributions to their favorite charity. If the results show that your children will be in the red, however, you'll need to come up with a plan to address the shortfall.
To help children learn about budgeting:
• Devise a system for keeping track of what's spent
• Suggest ways to increase income and/or reduce expenses
The future is now
To do this, open investment accounts for them. (If they're minors, these must be custodial accounts.) Look for accounts that can be opened with low initial contributions at institutions that supply educational materials about basic investment terms and concepts.
Should you give your child credit?
• Set limits on the card's use
If putting a credit card in your child's hands is a scary thought, you may want to start off with a prepaid spending card. A prepaid spending card looks like a credit card, but functions more like a prepaid phone card. The card can be loaded with a predetermined amount that you specify, and generally may be used anywhere credit cards are accepted. Purchases are deducted from the card's balance, and you can transfer more money to the card's balance whenever necessary. Although there may be some fees associated with the card, no debt or interest charges accrue; children can only spend what's loaded onto the card.

Money Talks, So Should You
Q&A: How can I cut my commute costs?
Mitch Marsden
by Mitch Marsden , NAPFA
There are several options to help you cut down on the cost of your commute.
If feasible, you may consider occasionally walking or riding a bike to work. Not only will you save money, but you will establish a pattern of healthier living. Investing in commuting vehicles with better gas mileage ratings, whether that is a smaller car or some sort of motorized scooter, may also be viable options.
If public transportation is available already, strongly consider tapping into its network. Many cities have great bus systems or metro/rail lines. In many places in the U.S., the trend toward green living is leading to the development and emphasis of public transportation.
READ: Student loan bubble about to burst
You can also work with your co-workers to carpool, even if it is just a day or two each week.
Consider adjusting your hours to enter and exit work at low traffic times. The stop-and-go rhythm or just idling in heavy traffic can waste a lot of gas, especially if you are experiencing it on your daily commute.
You could also skip the commute altogether periodically or regularly and telecommute. With technology today and a new generation pervading the workforce, more and more businesses are finding that this is a viable method that can enhance employee lifestyle and a flexible work culture.

From NetHackWiki
(Redirected from Neutral)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
For ways to change your alignment rating, see alignment record.
Alignment in NetHack is a trichotomy: lawful, neutral or chaotic. The following things have an alignment:
In addition to your character's alignment (whether you are lawful, neutral, or chaotic), your character also has an alignment record, a number referred to as u.ualign.record in the source code. Some spoilers refer to this number as your "alignment", creating ambiguity.
Altars to the evil god Moloch are considered unaligned—that is, not lawful, neutral or chaotic. Additionally, some artifact weapons are non-aligned. This only means that they express no preference for the alignment of their wielders, not that they are in some way allied to Moloch.
The interactions between objects of different alignments are many and varied. Two things are co-aligned when their alignments are the same, or cross-aligned when they are different.
Your alignment
You choose your alignment during character creation. If you choose any race except human, your alignment is assigned implicitly: dwarves are lawful, gnomes are neutral, and elves and orcs are chaotic. Humans may explicitly choose their alignment, although most roles have restrictions on permissible alignments. For example, Barbarians cannot be lawful, Cavemen cannot be chaotic, and Knights must be lawful.
There are two ways to change your character's alignment. Wearing a helm of opposite alignment changes your alignment temporarily, and sacrificing at a cross-aligned altar under certain circumstances can convert your alignment permanently. If you permanently change your alignment before doing your quest, however, the game will be unwinnable.
Lawful advantages
• Some nasty monsters - such as titans, golden nagas, and especially Archons - are co-aligned and will most often be peaceful.
Lawful disadvantages
Neutral advantages
• You have the best selection of artifacts available by wishing.
• Domestic animals may be generated peaceful, so you can keep them alive and return to tame them when you need them.
Neutral disadvantages
• You lose intrinsic telepathy and two points of Luck if you commit murder.
• Using a helm of opposite alignment to ascend on a different altar is not reliable, unless you test it first.
• A large number of low-level always-hostile monsters are neutral, giving neutral characters no alignment record gains for killing them, which may be a problem for protection racket runs.
• Due to the nature of the formula used, neutral monsters which can randomly be generated peaceful have at most a 23 chance of being so.[1]
Chaotic advantages
• There is no Luck or telepathy penalty for murdering peaceful humans. You still lose alignment record, however.
• Direct theft from a shop gives a +1 alignment bonus (unless you are a Rogue).
• You decrease your prayer timeout more quickly by sacrificing.
• You can sacrifice your own race at altars. When you do, your god dispatches a peaceful unique demon lord to the altar, making one less demon to fight in Gehennom. This may also summon a peaceful foocubus.
• Sacrificing your own race on a cross-aligned altar will automatically convert that altar to chaotic.
• The mysterious force is more merciful.
• The blessed Book of the Dead can tame undead.
Chaotic disadvantages
• Chaotic artifacts are the most pathetic. Sting and Orcrist are among them and might be sacrifice gifts. There are a few good chaotic artifacts, but none grant magic resistance. Most quest artifacts are lawful or neutral, so artifact wishing is less beneficial for chaotic characters.
• Holy water will not cure your sickness. It does cure lycanthropy, but you take damage when quaffing holy water.
• You cannot ascend on the neutral high altar.
Monster alignment
A monster's alignment is entirely different from the player character's alignment or alignment record, and is used primarily to determine whether it is peaceful or not toward you.[2] Monsters can be lawful, neutral, or chaotic; the Wizard of Yendor and priests of Moloch are unaligned.
Alignment is determined by the integer maligntyp of struct permonst declared in permonst.h; a positive integer is lawful, 0 is neutral, and a negative integer is chaotic. Thus, while monsters of the same type actually have the same alignment, some lawful monsters are more strongly lawful than others, for instance, while some chaotic monsters are more strongly so than other chaotic monsters. A neutral monster in this context is simply any monster that is neither lawful nor chaotic.
White unicorns are lawful, gray ones are neutral, and black ones are chaotic. Unicorns are especially important, as your god expects you to respect co-aligned unicorns, and sacrificing cross-aligned ones is highly valued.
Altar alignment
Co-aligned altars can be used to pray and offer sacrifices to your god. Cross-aligned altars can be converted, but this is not always wise if there is an attendant priest.
Artifact alignment
Most artifacts have an alignment. If the artifact is not intelligent, then you have only a 14 chance of being blasted if you have a different alignment from the artifact or have a negative alignment record, or are in the form of something the artifact specially attacks; damage is 4d4 (2d4 if you have magic resistance). If you have enough HP to survive the blast, you will be able to use the artifact.
Intelligent artifacts can emit much stronger blasts; they might also "evade your grasp", meaning that you are unable to use them.
Dungeon alignment
Branches of the dungeon can be aligned in the sense that monster generation in that branch is biased toward monsters of that alignment.[3]
The three alignments of NetHack probably originate from the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons. D&D gods have a specific alignment, and their worshipers are also of that alignment. Later D&D editions include a second axis of alignment: good, neutral, or evil. This results in nine combinations, such as "chaotic good" or "true neutral".
Before D&D introduced the good–evil axis, some players had equated "lawful" with "good" and "chaotic" with "evil"; games like ADOM follow this idea. Perhaps this is why D&D added the second axis. Many computer games, like NetHack, did not include this complication.
Unlike D&D, which has numerous plots, NetHack always follows the same story of taking that Amulet of Yendor from Moloch. Thus, in NetHack, alignments can be compared by how they relate to that story.
A chaotic character aims for convenience and cares not for order. In contrast to the lawful characters' like of social settings and orderly group activity, chaotic characters prefer individual action and are perhaps most suited to a one-player game like NetHack. Chaotic characters can keep pets as well as lawful and neutral characters can, before they take out Stormbringer.
Every elf is chaotic. NetHack's elves may be the size of humans, but they are not of Tolkien. Of elves, the FAQ says that "there's hundreds of years of tradition of the land of Faerie being one where human concepts of law simply do not apply."
In SLASH'EM, lawful characters get much more powerful minions than others, and they can get minions by praying with low HP as well as sacrifice. However, lawful characters will anger their god if they drink a potion of vampire blood.
Elves are always lawful or neutral. There are also five new races in SLASH'EM; their alignments are as follows:
• Drow: chaotic
• Doppelganger: neutral or chaotic
• Hobbit: lawful or neutral
• Lycanthrope: chaotic
• Vampire: chaotic
There are also many more special levels and dungeon branches in SLASH'EM. Their alignments are as follows:
• Gnomish Mines: lawful
• Mall: lawful

How to make the best pie crust ever.
In a mixing bowl, add 2lbs (about 8 cups, if you don't have a scale) of flour. Half white flour, half whole-wheat. Add 1 TBSP of salt and mix.
Roughly chop up 1 lb of lard. Yes lard. It makes better crust than butter or crisco.
Add the lard chunks a few pieces at a time to the flour/salt. I put my shield on for this since the lard pieces tend to make flour shoot up out of the bowl.
Mix until you get the consistency of "peas and cornmeal".
Add 20 TBSP of cold water. (1 1/4 cups) Mix for a few seconds.
Dump the dough onto a clean surface and form into a wheel.
Plastic wrap is better, but I didn't have any. Wrap up the wheel.
Put it in a bag, get as much air out as you can, and put in the fridge. Let it sit at least 24 hours. I made my crust on a Monday, and will roll it out for pies on Wednesday. Letting it sit makes for a very forgiving, easy to work crust.
When you're ready to use it, take it out, cut it into 8 pie wedges. Each wedge can be formed into a wheel when you're ready for it, then rolled out. Keep the other pieces covered while you work with one to keep them from drying out.
Here's the recipe in an easier-to-print format…
Perfect Pie Crust
From Reclaiming my Inner Pioneer at
2lbs (8 cups) of flour. Half white, half whole wheat.
1 lb Lard
1 TBSP salt
20 TBSP (1 1/4 cup) cold water
1. Mix flours and salt.
2. Roughly chop lard and add piece by piece to the flour mixture.
3. Mix until you have the texture of peas and cornmeal.
4. Add water and mix for a few seconds.
5. Form into a wheel and place in plastic airtight bag in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
Makes 8 single crust or 4 double crust pies (or whatever combination adds up to 8 single crusts).
Sandra G said...
Sounds great! So, just so I understand, this makes 8 single pie crusts or 4 double pie crusts? I only need 1 double and two single so I'm guessing I could just half the recipe?
Alice said...
Yes, you could cut the recipe in half. Or you can make the full recipe with the lard/salt/flour, cut that in half and store half in the freezer, and mix half the water into the rest. That way you have more crust ready to go if you want to make pie later, or turnovers or something.
You can also just make all of it and freeze what you don't need now, you'd just want to wrap it well and use in in 3-4 months.

Few Minutes High-Intensity Training Every Day Can Make You Fitter and Stronger
exerciseWhat better than this that a person can get fitter and stronger and that too in just a few minutes of workout to be done every day. It would surely give you a sigh of relief as there would be no need to be on treadmill for hours or to spend a lot of money to get a personal trainer.
You can Teach Yourself to be Optimist in Seven Weeks: Researchers
You can Teach Yourself to be Optimist in Seven Weeks: ResearchersAired in a BBC documentary last night, findings of a research have suggested that our brain can be trained to become optimist in just seven weeks.
The research looked personalities of various people and tried to find out if it was possible to change them. It emerged that with help of certain mental exercises, it was possible to train the brain to look on bright side of life.
'Fast Diet' Allows You Eat What You Wish, Claims Dr. Mosley
Fast-DietWhile dieting would create an image of a restricted diet each day, with no chocolates or other luring foods, 'Fast Diet' would take you to a completely different track.
A report has recently unveiled that the diet would allow you to eat anything you like, while you still will be on diet. This is so because you would be fasting for two days a week and would continue with your normal diet for the rest five days.

Discrimination Poems - Poems For Discrimination
Poems about discrimination. You can read the best discrimination poems. Browse through all discrimination poems.
What If - Poem by Theo Williams
Magna Carta 1215[1]
Granted rights to the Church in England
And nobility signed by King John
The launch of British democracy
What if history was drawn?
By the so called leaders of this aristocracy [2]
Why did bishops, abbots, peers
Two knights from e'ery shire
And two representatives from each town
Meet to create the model parliament [3] at hand?
When in history the system was not upside down
And the Common Law [4] was recognised as the law-of-land.
What if no one had believed Mohammed? [5]
When he climbed off the Mecca Mountain
Would we still live the dark ages?
‘Cause Muslim empire would preserve the teachings
Of Roman-Greco antiquity in early stages
Thus no crusades for Europe to forge social leeching.
During the civil rights movement (1955-1968) [6]
If black African-Americans were not oppressed by white
Would this world see more racial dignity?
No reason for wars or fights
Or would this world still find the hate
No peace or happiness to correlate?
What if race and ethnicity was not an issue
Would this world be in harmony?
Or would the conflict always continue
A seemed lack of political apathy
What if any race or colour was able to smile
At anyone without being judgementally trialled?
What if Malcolm X [7] didn't kneel before the leader of Islam? [8]
Would black Americans proceed to have no rights?
If he were not starting to be minister and activist
Would we still see blacks bowing to children of white?
Or the segregation amongst us be of a political Baptist
What if? - is the question that remains so quiet.
How does a document articulate freedom?
Shouldn't e'ery human be born with that trait?
Instead of Martin Luther King [9] dreaming a dream
To rid the world of racial hate
The emancipation proclamation Luther signed [10]
Gave hope to millions of chained Negro slaves
Who were entwined in injustice of the systems mind
Seared in flames of inequity sending them to graves.
But even one hundred years later
The Negro is still bound
By the chains of discrimination
The manacles of segregation has found
Negro's isolated on an island of poverty
Drowning in the vast ocean of material prosperity.
What if Governments didn't wield the sceptre of deceit?
Like when President McKinley told his people [11]
That the USS Maine was a victimised fleet
Of Spanish mines - thus Americans supported
The American Spanish war, the country all contorted
By the lies of political figures
When the Captain of USS Maine reported
The ship had sunk from an explosion
From a coal bin - then investigations sought no mine
The government inside our heads
Like the horse of Trojan.
Hitler also wielded this fraudulent weapon [12]
To his own people to initiate the invasion
Telling Germany that Poland had attack first - He imprudently beckoned
Germans then thought they had been threatened
And followed Hitler into the war in Poland.
'Pearl Harbour a surprise attack! ' The FDR claimed [13]
But it was ‘cause the US saw war with Japan
To get into war with Germany - which Americans disagreed
Roosevelt then illusively provoked Japan to attack first
After an 8-step plan of Naval Intelligence
Tricked by the propaganda of surprise
Americans marched off to the war
Created by Government lies.
Gulf of Tonkin - President Johnson's lie [14]
To send Americans to the Vietnam War
There were no torpedoes in the water in the gulf - why?
Would anyone in a right state of their mind
Would want to wield this weapon to start conflict
But LBJ then took advantage of a sonar man's report
To prod Congress into escalating the war
A war they mendaciously fought.
What if this legion of deceit
Did not exist as of government
Would the world be at peace?
No reason for detriment
Would all nations be fond of each other?
And build a friendship together
Or would we be in this multitude
Of lies forever.
Mahatma Gandhi was a strong figure
That spoke in a British ruled India
Employing non-violent civil disobedience
That led India to its day of independence
'Half-naked fakir' - Winston Churchill claims
A political enemy that uses racial aims
The British trying to execute his rights
But with non-violence he fought a stronger fight
If we are able to wield the weapon of voice
Instead of handling firearms
Would this world be at more rejoice
Or would this just do more harm?
What if our history is just a government lie?
What if space, moon, sun and sky
Does not even exist
But we live in a frontier of deceit
That we try to break free of this repeat
What if these lies are the worst type of cancer?
What if, what if, what if
Is the hardest question to answer.

A horn section is a group of musicians playing horns. In an orchestra or concert band, it refers to the musicians who play the "French" horn, and in a British-style brass band it is the tenor horn players. In many popular music genres, the term is applied loosely to any group of woodwind or brass instruments, or a combination of woodwinds and brass.
In a symphony orchestra, the horn section is the group of symphonic musicians who play the French horn (or German horn or Vienna horn). These musicians are typically seated to the back of the ensemble and may be on either side at the director's discretion. Placing them to the left with their bells toward the audience increases the prominence of the section, whereas on the right, the sound reflects off the back of the stage. Most of the time, players are seated right to left from the director's view based on seating, with the principal horn (first horn) being seated on the right and fourth horn seated on the left. The section is ordered in this way so the principal horn may be heard by all players, as the principal sets the timbre and intonation of the section.[citation needed]
Popular music
Horn section of Ojos de Brujo
Horn section of Ojos de Brujo
Horn sections are an integral part of musical genres such as jazz, R&B, blues, soul, funk, calypso, Afrobeat, and gospel. Most of these horn sections feature some combination of saxophones, trumpets and trombones. More rarely, other wind or brass instruments such as flute, clarinet or tuba may be added. Other popular musical genres, such as rock, pop, hip-hop, latin, and country music also use horn sections.[citation needed] When only woodwinds are involved, the term "reed section" is often used, even when flutes are included (Anon. 2002).
Notable horn sections
Horn sections in blues bands and funk groups may be composed of session musicians playing arranged parts, or they may be a consistent group of musicians. A small number of horn sections use a consistent group of musicians who become well known as a unit.
The horn section for funk band Earth, Wind and Fire.

Gun violence issue pervades Chicago politics
MSNBC Contributor Goldie Taylor joins MSNBC’s Craig Melvin to talk about the gun control agenda.
Share This:
>>> of guns in america i'm joined by msnbc contributor goldie taylor. let's start in the windy city . what the heck is happening in chicago ?
>> well, you know, there are a plethora of issues happening in chicago . i was struck with how much that young woman looks like my youngest daughter, and but for the grace of god there go i. what's happening in chicago are any number of things, pervasive poverty and lack to opportunity. one of my dear friends said nothing stops a bullet like a job so we're talking about a crisis from top to bottom throughout these communities in and surrounding chicago .
>> you're a former marine and very familiar with the gun lobe. we've talked about it on this broadcast before. you just mentioned the nra . i've got to ask you. do you think that organization is becoming something like a scarlet letter of sports for political candidates who have a pro-gun record, even democrats?
>> i think the tide is certainly changing and i'm glad that it is. i believe today's nra was different from the organization and the mission that was founded. i believe they have veered so far to the right that they have forgotten the real impact of what is the most dangerous consumer product on the market.
>> i want to talk to you about this assault weapons ban for just a second, and i want to put a picture on the screen here because congress again considering new gun legislation would ban 150 kind of firearms and would protect more than 2,000. here's an example of a weapon that would be banned. i want our viewers and you take a look at this. this is a ruegger mini-14 with collapsible and soeld fofolding stock. however, the same gun with a fixed stock would be legal even though they fire the same caliber bullets and can hold dozens of rounds of ammunition. how logical does it seem to you?
>> if it does not impact functionality i don't think that there's a difference between the guns. if it fires the same, if it fires the same calibers in the same rapid speed and frequency then certainly it ought to be treated as the same class of weapon and band just as the other.
>> how do you think this thing is going to play out, i mean, politically speaking? what do you think will happen once a vote is taken because a lot of folks believe at some point, some juncture there will be a vote on something, whether it's weapons ban, background checks , but how do you think it's going to play out?
>> i was hoping that we would be in for big things , that this would be comprehensive reform, meaningful reform. what we have is a small ball. a consensus saying you need universal background checks , assault weapon ban or a high capacity magazine would be banned, i don't know that this is going to pass this u.s. house of representatives , and that is reprehensible.
>> goldie taylor, thank you so much. usually have to talk to you in double boxes so good to have you in the flesh.
>> thanks for having me.
>> you're always welcome.

It’s a 125 or maybe 150 (or equivalent weight-class of electric). I think you could do what this guy did without breaking a sweat. If this happened with my 1100, and I was on my butt like this guy, I’d watch it go down. Standing, I might lunge for it.

Isn’t that an exhaust right near his left arm?
[–]axelslash01 58 points59 points (10 children)
Really small so I doubt it. Looks more like a cosmetic thing. If it is an exhaust, it's small enough to be a muffler for a 2 stroke possibly. 50cc 2 stroke? Asian markets are flooded with Chinese bikes and clones, really hard to stick a name on this one lol

[–]Burga88 0 points1 point (0 children)
You’re right, on another look it’s a small container that doesn’t lead to the engine
[–]punkassjim 0 points1 point (2 children)
Brake fluid reservoirs generally must remain upright. I’m betting it’s a remote reservoir for the rear shock.
EDIT: look through the spokes as the bike starts going over. The exhaust can is on the other wide of the wheel. It’s not electric.
[–]Tendo80 0 points1 point (0 children)
Exhaust is on the other side of the wheel (covered by a plastic bag) the small container you see is most likely for cooling (see a small hose).
This is a Asian 125cc bike most likely a Honda(although the frame doesn't look familiar)

Pros and Cons: A View to a Kill
• heartbroken_mr_draxheartbroken_mr_drax New Zealand Posts: 2,050MI6 Agent
Had a hankering to watch AVTAK last night and chucked on the Blu-ray. Really enjoyed it after not having seen it in a few years.
A few things stood out on this viewing...
• Roger Moore looks better than he did in OP, he's slimmed down and there's less of an overdone tan. He looks excellent in particular in the PTS, Ascot and throughout the finale, plus moves well too. Clearly he's fit. He looks pretty old when he's tailing Stacey in SF and of course, underwater. But for all he complaints, he's bloody great!
• Zorin and Mayday are great villains and the backstory connection to the KGB is good stuff.
• Rich and lush work by Barry (title song is the best by far).
• Excellent costume design; everyone's outfits (barring Moneypenny's) are brilliant, Mayday and Stacey's 80s gear looks good now.
• The film isn't trying to be bigger than it is. Minus all the killings, it's actually quite a muted affair (and if you're in the mood that's good). Location wise, only having two major settings in France and SF means you absorb into them. The rip off GF plot is easy to understand and the backdrop of the horse world adds a touch of something else.
• The mine set is pretty awesome.
• I like Stacey (stunning to look at) and I think the non-over-sexed relationship between her and Moore is good and appropriate.
Not so good:
• In OP when Vijay gets killed it's awful and it snaps Bond into movement. In AVTAK the killing of Tibbett AND Chuck is too much. Add this to the way Zorin and Scarpine kills off everyone in the mine? Also, wouldn't the death of a CIA agent warrant a pretty big response?
• There's not enough screen time between Bond and Zorin. The interplay between the two when they are on screen is great. It's a bit of a waste considering Walken is probably the most interesting person to play a Bong villain...ever?
• There are a few clunky scenes in the start of the movie. Desmond's reading of the lines in M's office is pretty clumsy, the initial meeting between Bond and Scarpine and discussion around Pegasus' brother is slow.
• The fire at city hall and fire engine chase.
Still. I love AVTAK, it's just so...interesting. It's not over the top, it's just a solid, oddball 80s retirement flick for Moore.

Ischial fracture
A ischial bone fracture describes the breakage of the Ischium (lat. Os ischii) in one or more places. The fractions are divided into upper and lower ischial bone fractures, as well as stable and unstable fractures.
In a stable fracture, there is usually only one break in one place and there are no displaced fragments, in contrast to the unstable fracture. Like all fractures of the pelvic bone, the ischial bone fracture is a serious injury that should definitely be examined by a doctor.
Like the entire human pelvis, the ischium is a very stable bone. Strong forces have to act so that a break can occur. One cause is traffic accidents at high speed, for example when a pedestrian is hit by a car. A fall from a great height can also result in a ischial bone fracture.
In sport, a muscle that arises from the ischium can tear out a piece of its bony anchorage under strong tension. This injury, known as an avulsion fracture, is rare and particularly affects young, growing athletes. There are also some conditions that weaken bones and make them more prone to breakage. These include osteoporosis, which mostly affects older women, as well as various cancers, which are, however, much rarer.
Read more on the topic: osteoporosis
If a bone is weakened by a corresponding disease, even smaller forces are sufficient in a so-called minor trauma to lead to a ischial bone fracture.
Also read on this topic: Ischial tuberosity pain
The ischium fracture is often accompanied by severe pain that can radiate into the buttocks. Usually a Relieving posture taken, in which the hip is bent and the affected side is relieved as much as possible. Every movement and load on the hip makes the pain noticeably worse.
Unstable fractures with moving bone parts can create a feeling of bone rubbing. Organs, blood vessels and nerves can also be damaged in the course of the accident. As a result, there may be bleeding from the anus, urethra, or vagina, or pain radiating to the abdomen. If a nerve is damaged, parts of the skin over the hips or in the legs and feet can be numb, or muscles can be paralyzed or weak.
Also, a nerve injury can lead to a Urinary incontinence to lead. Bleeding can cause a bruise behind the organs and cause pain in the lumbar spine. Are larger vessels, e.g. In the leg or pelvis, injured, the high blood loss can also lead to dizziness and fainting.

Pain in a ischial fracture
Basically, long-lasting pain must be expected after a ischial fracture. If such a stable bone is broken, it takes a correspondingly long time for it to heal, which causes pain for the patient (see also: Pain in the ischium). Concomitant injuries to nerves can also trigger painful abnormal sensations or hypersensitivity to touch or high and low temperatures.
How long you have to suffer from the pain varies from person to person and depends on the severity of the injury and other damaged structures. The type of therapy also affects the duration of the symptoms. However, it is possible that pain may persist six to eight months after a ischium fracture. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a complication that can generally occur with bony injuries. This is impaired wound healing in the injured tissue, which leads to chronic pain that is difficult to control. However, it is very rare.
Read more on the topic: CRPS
Most ischial fractures show up in the X-ray image as fracture lines or displaced bone fragments. If there is a suspicion of an injury to the internal organs of the abdomen or pelvis, an CT - or MRI- Admission may be necessary in order to safely find and treat the injury. A urine test and a cystoscopy are indicative of an injury to the urogenital tract, as is palpation of the prostate in men. A pelvic exam should also be done, especially in pregnant women. If an elderly person falls slightly, a disturbed pain sensation and the atypical accident mechanism can make it difficult to find the break.
Depending on the type and severity of the injury, the therapy must be adjusted accordingly. Avulsion fractures often only require one Immobilization and Painkiller. Stable fractures can be treated with walking aids for relief. A pain-adapted load should be used in which the patient only makes movements that do not hurt him.
Unstable fractures need a operative care. The bone pieces are brought into their correct position in an open operating theater or with a system of weights from the outside and then attached with wires, nails, screws or plates. In any case, physiotherapy as quickly as possible is important, and should be maintained for a comparatively long time after the accident. Consistent pain therapy must be carried out.
Depending on the severity of the pain, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen up to Opioids be necessary. Opioids are powerful drugs and have quite high side effects and are highly addictive, which is why they should not be given long-term. Medication must be taken during immobilization Blood thinning be taken.
physical therapy
In general, physiotherapy should begin as early as possible with a pain-adapted exercise. The patients train under professional supervision as best their position allows, without causing pain. This prevents excessive muscle breakdown and misalignment of the joints. The pain improves and there is an effective protection against Thrombosis and Pneumoniathat can meet elderly, bedridden patients. In addition, the risk of one is permanently reduced disturbed gait or a chronic one Feeling of instability.
How long it takes for the fracture of the ischium to heal completely cannot be said in general terms. The factors that speak in favor of a rather rapid healing include a light and uncomplicated injury pattern, the young age of the patient and physiotherapy that was started early and consistently carried out.
Depending on the severity of the injury and the therapy carried out, walking aids are prescribed for weight relief for about 6-12 weeks after the accident. The duration of the physiotherapy also varies, but will normally be several months. The bony healing process is complete around 3 - 4 months after the accident; until, however, ideally, all complaints have subsided, there is no more pain and strength and normal body sensation have completely returned up to one year pass away.

February update
Posted: 1 year ago
Howdy from snowy Concord, Massachusetts.
We’re getting towards the end of Beta One, so I wanted to give a quick update on what I’ve been doing.
My main goals in Beta One are to:
• Get a feel for how customers build mental models of what’s happening, and how I can adapt the interface to match them.
• Stress-test the crawl pipelines, from discovery to crawl to taggings and scoring. I’ve increased the total number of documents by about 20x. This is great, but different things break at different scales. So, I’ve been solidifying as I go.
• Work on tuning the relevance engine. Relevance is (for me) a function of recency, reputation (how many people are talking about a given document) and relevance (how relevant a given document is to a given tag). This is a relatively complex set of equations, so I’ve been tuning based on real-life data going through the systems.
So, what does that mean now? I have one more major infrastructure shift, which I’m hoping will be done by the end of next week. Once that’s stable, I’ll be able to declare Beta Two and move on to the next set of challenges.

I think you may be mis-diagnosing the problem. What does "to not work"

This man page bit that you quoted:

That means that a dot is explicitly included among the characters that

What does

show you?
Any user names not included in that output will not be available for
tilde-expansion. The userdirs variable is populated by querying your
operating system for available user names, so if it is incomplete then
the system is in some way preventing zsh from listing all the users.
} Is there a way in zsh to change this behavior?
I'm not sure I'm answering the right question because it's not obvious
what behavior (or lack thereof) is wrong, but you can explicitly add
the user names you care about like so:
hash -d First.Last=/home/First.Last
Replace /home/ with the appropriate path prefix for your environment.
Other fixes (likely outside zsh) may be possible depending on whether
$userdirs is incomplete and why.

Batteries on the Sailboat
Batteries on the Sailboat
Sunday February 5, 2006, 6:15 AM
We have or I believe we have a large block of batteries on the sailboat, I know we have three cylinder electrical motor, I know this because Bill is talking about the broken motor mount and want me to fix or help. We was on battery power last night, thus the batteries are working, this is good, however this is a chain of events systems whereby all the parts must work. Bill has references or I felt he inferred that when the motor to the boat is running it is also charging the batteries. The life of the batteries is important.
I think to start the motor to the boat.
I think to run the radio to call the shore if a problem.
The batteries presently are being used to play the radio mostly and to run the lights on the boat, Bill purchased some very expensive German made 12-volt fans, I am thinking this is a 12-volt system, however I am not positive, and there are so many variables. We I believe are in a 220 Country, does this mean we have both a 220 and a 110 systems or do we only have a 110 and the marina only provides us with 110 because we are in a USA mentality or surround area of the USA with the mental solutions of the USA. The Caribbean is my guess overlaid heavily with the USA influence, many times more than the Central American countries, Trinidad culturally is similar to Panama, many organizational concepts of the USA, however at the end of the day not culturally the same, still a somewhat manana concept on life. Tropical weather makes person not take the world serious, priorities and getting work done is not part of the tropical cultures on the planet.
I have a book Bill gave me by a man called Chapman; this book is maybe 400 pages and has many details on boating. I am going to read it if possible; therefore, I can one-up the mental capacities and insure my safety and the crews.
My battery on my computer now says I have less than 50 percent of time on the battery, this is not accurate and when my computer gets down to about 25 percent it can just stop. There is an electrical inverter, connected by a cigarette lighter just behind a desk area close to the radio. Not a good place to place my computer to charge, because of too many people opening the fridge and moving without caution on the boat in this area. I personally only trust the judgment of Craig around my computer; the other two are like children and must be watched and anticipated constantly. The cord of the computer is like a rope where a person can trip over, pull on, or hook himself or herself, pull the computer on the floor and I have no computer because it will break. Water is abundant in this area as is water everywhere on the boat as we have found many leaky spots in the channels of storage. My Lonely Planet Caribbean now has a damage cover because it was sitting in a channel along the edges when it started to rain. Craig�s private area leaks or Jokob says it leaks; nothing actually is clear and predictable with any comments from Jokob as he is arrogantly irresponsible and not trustworthy. His judgments are based on what he wants to say and not on reality.
If I could buy a converter that would make a light bulb into a cigarette lighter connection or adapter I could convert one 110 normal type light next to my bed to a plug for the inverter and the computer would be safe. I am confused, why does this normal light bulb work, does it come on with 12 volts, I know a 110 light bulb will work normally in a 220 at least for a short while, however I have no knowledge of 12 volts and 110 and interchanging the light bulbs. I will have to quiz and try to focus Bill on the issue of electricity on the boat. I do wish to know if we are redundantly safe with our electrical, motor, and petrol systems. If the navigation abilities are not great, then the need for a motor may become more valuable than I wish. I would not go across the ocean with this boat presently we are only going along though very close islands; we are not really traveling in open sea. We are always within a short distance in many ways of the shore.

On the one hand, I see the need for grassroots response to government when the people are not happy with what is happening. That is pure democracy.
I am, on the other hand, getting SO FED UP with all the partisan whining and "sky is falling" rhetoric that I am hearing from those that feel that the recent elections are a portent of utter doom. It is the same as all those A-hole celebrities saying they were going to move away from the U.S. if the other side won the last election.
Why do people allow themselves to be so partisan and hateful in our national political circus? It is just so much brainwashing and the response is no different than drunks who get into fights in bars over who is the best quarterback or kids bickering on PBN.
Get OVER it!
Concentrate on the issues that are important to you and your community and let those people in "power" know how you feel, but give the political fanboyism a break. They are all a bunch of scumbag politicians until their individual behavior proves them to be otherwise.
If the ban on BB guns is something that you with which you disagree, sound off! Write them letters and watch all politicians carefully. If you leave the sloganeering out of your statement, you will avoid being classified as just another partisan fanatic.
All that said, the fact that the lawmakers want to ban BB guns in Mass. is a sure sign that the BB gun industry is on the wane. Otherwise the same lobbyists that protect all the other money in the U.S. would have paid all these guys off already.
Imho, these bans (assault weapons, BB guns, fireworks, drugs) do nothing less than increase the sales and profits of the industries that make the proposed banned items.
Consider the notorious assault weapons ban for example. Talk of the upcoming ban sent weapons sales and prices skyrocketing. Every gun store I frequent did bumper crop business as they sold high capacity mags and guns with bayonet lugs like gold bars.
Every American who wanted an assault weapon bought as many of them as they could afford. Those who did not want one, but thought their children might bought guns, etc. It was a gold rush for everyone associated with the assault weapons industry.
Then, when the beauty of the sunset on that law, the bottom dropped out of the market. It was already flooded with all those trying to sell their extra AW's and then we suddenly had 1200 little shops jump out of the wood work to make AR's, etc.
If anything, banning BB guns will bring about a rennaisance of BB gun interest and then, when the ban expires, the same glut will occur.
In America, the best way to stimulate considerable consummer interest is to ban a product or concept.
We just can't get enough of that funky stuff.

Ah, right. So if it makes you feel better, you can consider that the
EFF (Earth Federation Force/Earth Federal Forces) are branched into the
EFAF, EFA, EFSF, and EFN appropriately. :-)

Interestingly, they use different honorifics for different generals in
original Gundam - compare "Revil-shogun" ("General Revil") with "Tianem-
teitoku" ("Admiral Tianem"). This implies that the writers were indeed
thinking of the Federal Forces as having distinct branches, even if it
was never discussed specifically.
That said, while Japanese uses the same terms for army and navy
officers & formations, it does seem to have distinct terms for grunts.
The lesser ranks used in Gundam (sergeant major down through private) are
all army-specific, so I'd assume that army nomenclature should be the default.
Rodrick Su asks,
>What I want to know is how the EFG temporary becomes Earth Union Government

Its name didn't change - only the fashionable English translation did.
If we were to go back and apply the "Earth Federation" retcon across the
board, along with airbrushing the "UNT Spacy" logo off everything in 0080
and 0083, we'd have to change the AEUG's name to the AEFG. Or, more
likely, come up with a different derivation for the acronym, like the
"All Earthnoids are Useless Gang." :-)
>Also, there seemed to be a lot of major ticket appropriation in the show.

Which is probably why it doesn't get done. It takes 60 years from the
end of colony construction to the rebuilding of the Frontier Side, and
debris remains littered all over the landscape for years after each
colony drop. The colonies trashed during the war are just left lying
around as ghost colonies and debris zones. Seems consistent with weak-
willed politicians, eh?
>Speaking of appropriation. Could one of the major bones Spacenoid have

Sure could be. But unlike certain other sci-fi sagas, "taxation of
outlying trade routes" seldom become a major plot engine in Gundam. <grin>
(Speaking of which - can anyone tell me exactly who was supposed to be
taxing whom in Phantom Menace? I could never figure that out.)
Lim Jyue writes,
> Anyway, I was wondering why I cannot recall any of the builders here
>mentioning the following explanation for the acronyms...
Oh, we discussed it at the time, had a few laughs, then went on with
our lives. :-)
While it's cute that the MG manual writers went to such lengths to
justify all these discarded acronyms (a shame they couldn't shoehorn an
"H" into "Chobham"), it still doesn't explain why the UNT Spacy acronym
would be stenciled onto _normal_ tactical hardware. (The manual claims
that the "under normal tactical special assortment construction yard"
term is an homage to a now-obsolete term for the Federation Space Force.)
Then again, I don't get why the RX-79[G] - built by the Federation Army
- would have EFSF plastered all over its shoulders...
> I wonder. How official does the list view information in MG Manuals?
Hurm. In general, I'd give it a lot of credence - mostly because of the
involvement of veteran Gundam geeks like Katsumi Kawaguchi - but not
where it conflicts with the animation or truly expert sources like
Shindosha. In some cases, the MG manuals conflict with sources I deeply
revere - for example, their account of the MS-05's production history
conflicts with that of the old MSV books. In other cases, they'll reprint
some of the more dubious claims from these selfsame books (like the
assertion that only 288 GMs were produced). And, in general, they have an
extreme weakness for bogus acronyms.
My rating: Authoritative, but not necessarily canonical.

Robyn Gettin Down in Asia Town 2007! travel blog
Huh, I'm sitting here, looking at my trip journal and realize that I've forgotten a whole city, and a beautiful city at that. So now I'll try and recall. I've already sent the pictures home with Mike, but I think the best of them are on facebook. My arrival was even memorable, even though I'de rather forget. Having spent the day with Joona in Kuantan, I decided it would be a good idea to take the night bus to Melaka. I figured I'de arrive at 7am, having slept on the bus, and be ready for a good day of exploring. Wrong again! I arrived at 4:30am, not having slept a wink. Ugh. It was to early to go to the guest house, so I sat at the bus station for a couple of hours in a dazed state. I didn't feel comfortable falling asleep, so I sat their doing the head bob. Fighting a losing battle. Finally my body wanted to sleep. Why not on the bus? Sick of the bus station, I hopped on the first city bus and made my way to the guest house, only to repeat the same ordeal until about 8:30, when they finally woke up. Needless to say, I looked like hell and went directly to bed. So much for a good day of exploring. When I did finally wake up, I was glad I'de came.
It was one of those cities that made me wish my parents were there. Very historic and well maintained. China town was a treasure hunters dream (mom) and a people watchers haven (dad). You both could of been entertained for days. Such an amazing mix of cultures, and everyone respected their differences. A truly global little city. The food selection was amazing, and cheap. The people were helpful and friendly. I could of stayed much longer.
The number of museums was astounding. A museum for everything. My personal favourite? A whole building dedicated to the art and history of body modification. I was there for hours. It went into all the different cultures and customs, from the long necks, to the stretched ears and lips, to the tiny feet and sloped foreheads. It was amazing. Turns out I can see the long necks in Northern Thailand. I never knew.
The night market was something that had to be seen and experienced to appreciate. A very long street, lined with every type of food and souvenir, temples opened up for line dancing lessons (yes you read that correctly), and a stage with rows of seating for karaoke. Man do they love to sing. Somehow it's easier to tolerate here. Maybe it's because the people are doing it for fun, not because they're piss drunk.
After three days of exploring, it was time to move on. Back to Singapore.

First cyborg aims for telepathy
Shashidhar K J & B PRADEEP NAIR, TNN Nov 24, 2012, 04.02AM IST
BANGALORE: Robots marrying and voting in elections. Accident victims being able to send command to their artificial limbs.
All entirely possible, according to cybernetics guru Prof Kevin Warwick. He was here on Friday to deliver The Pinkerton Lecture, organized by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
Warwick, celebrated as the first cyborg (a superhuman who has both biological and artificial parts in the body), is best known for being the world's first human to have a chip surgically implanted in his arm and conducting experiments on himself.
Warwick told TOI about his research in direct interfaces between humans and computer systems, robotics and artificial intelligence. "I'm a regular human now, but I still have some wires left from the last experiment. But they're not doing anything," he said.
His first implant was an RFID (radio frequency identification) transmitter in May 1998 which he used to automate his lab. His lab's doors in Reading University, UK, had many magnetic coils which could detect his transmitter and open doors automatically, and boot up his computer when he walked in. He wanted to see if the body could accept an external implant.
"I had an implant in my left arm and word got around, and ever since many, including James Bond (in Casino Royale), got a similar implant," Warwick said. In the West, RFID tags are used increasingly in pets to keep track of them. "This must be the first instance where we tested a technology on humans before using them on animals!" he quipped.
Next, he tried to interface with machines more directly. He had tiny electrodes in his left median nerve for about three months. They were connected to a gauntlet-like device on his arm which could use the electrical signals of the nervous system to control an external robot via the internet.
The robot designed by Warwick's colleague Peter Kyberd could mimic the actions of Warwick's arm. And sensors from the robot were able to transmit signals back to Warwick's nervous system and he could "feel" the robot. "It took me about six weeks to recognize the electrical signals," he said. "They weren't painful or anything, but they kept coming. I knew it was the robot." Warwick explained. The more pressure he applied using the robot, the more frequent the signals got.
Human exchange
Warwick tried to see if it was possible to transmit signals between humans. Another simpler array was implanted into the arm of his wife Irina, and they were able to sync their nervous systems and send Morse codes via their nervous systems.
Now, he's planning implants in his brain which can enable telepathy. Irina isn't too thrilled about it and the dangers of his experiments.
Warwick feels his research can be used to engineer better prosthetics which can interface more directly with a paraplegics' nervous system. Currently, advanced prosthetics interface with muscles which allow electrodes to flex and move.
"I hope to excite future generations about brain-to-brain communication," he said.

Séminaire de Ian C. Bourg (Princeton University) :
Clay, water, and salt : hydro-chemo-mechanical coupling in fine-grained soils and sedimentary rocks
le vendredi 26 avril 2019 à 10h, salle 101, couloir 32-42, 1er étage (salle des conseils de l’UFR de chimie).
A recurrent theme in the use of the subsurface for water, energy, or carbon mitigation is the importance of fine-grained (clay-rich) soils and sedimentary rocks. Fine-grained rocks (shale, mudstone) are used as caprocks, host rocks, and source rocks in a range of low-carbon energy technologies including carbon capture and storage, high-level radioactive waste storage, and shale hydrocarbon extraction. Fine-grained soils play an equally outsized role in agriculture and soil carbon storage. This importance ofclay-rich media derives largely from their distinct hydrologic and mechanical properties (ultra-low permeability, swelling-shrinking and cracking). Here, we review existing data on the hydrologic and mechanical properties of fined grained soils and sedimentary rocks. We show that these properties are controlled by chemo-mechanical-chemical couplings at two key scales : a nanoscale defined by the aggregation and swelling of clay (nano)particles and a mesoscale defined by the assemblage of larger grains. We present recent advances in modeling the distinct properties of clay-rich media on these two length scales using molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Consumer Proposals Cost & Credit Rating Considerations
In a recent Ask the Experts on 570 News in Kitchener we discussed consumer proposals. One of the callers asked the two most common questions we get about consumer proposals.
First, he asked “what does it cost to file a consumer proposal?” I answered by telling him that the cost of a consumer proposal depends on your income, your assets, the size of your family, and your debts. For a consumer proposal to be accepted by your creditors it must offer them more than they would receive in a bankruptcy. For a consumer proposal to make sense for you the monthly payments must be reasonable, so we will often extend the payments for up to five years.
I also commented that the fees that Hoyes Michalos charges in a proposal are set by the federal government; all proposal administrators receive the same fee from a proposal. At our first meeting we will explain the costs in detail.
Second, regarding how a consumer proposal impacts on your credit report, I advised him that according to Equifax, the largest credit reporting agency in Canada, a proposal remains on your credit report for three years after the proposal is completed. However, your ability to borrow again depends not only on your credit report buy also on your ability to save money for a down payment or security deposit, so the best way to rebuild your credit is to save money.
Consumer proposals are a great option for many residents of Ontario who have more debt than they can handle, but don’t want to go bankrupt, so for more information on consumer proposals contact your nearest Hoyes Michalos office.

There is no question of any word in Quran mentioned just for poetic reason. Every word in Quran has its important meaning even if it was repeated in previous verses, but the meaning of it in every verse has its own situation which is different from other verses.
In Sura Al-Rahman, the verse (Fabi'ayyi Alaa'i Rabbikoma Tokaththibaan) فبأي الاء ربكما تكذبان was mentioned thirty one times, but in every time, the meaning of it is related to the immediate verse before it. Allah (SWT) in Sura Al-Rahmaan is mentioning His bounties, then asking Jinns and humans : Which bounty of your Lord you deny? This question is repeated after every bounty because every bounty is different from other bounties.

POH/Getting ANOTHER shot in my eyeball!!
Discussion in 'Fibromyalgia Main Forum' started by neen85, Aug 9, 2005.
1. neen85
neen85 New Member
Last year I was diagnosed with PRESUMED OCULAR HISTOPLASMOSIS. At first,I thought I had a scratch on my glasses lens and thought the blur was from it. I am on medicare and am only covered for glasses every 3 yrs.
I was driving and decided to cover my right eye and my left eye had a blind spot in the center. I thought I had macular degeneration like my Grandfather had. Dr. sent me to optometrist,then to opthamologist. I was legally blind in that eye.
They did a laser treatment,like for Mac. degen..,whee they press a "contact lens" (a.k.a. end of a shot glass) up against your eye and shoot a high powered laser through it.
The IV meds they use for this proceedure are so strong that you can actually sunburn going to your car.
My eye started to blur again,SO I had a repeat proceedure done Last Friday. The bleed wasn't as bad,so it was done with the small laser that is always available.
The eye and eye lid swells and is light sensitive and you can't be near the windows of your house for 3 days,nor can you be where the sun shines in the window or you will burn.
I have to return next Tuesday to get a steroid shot in the eyeball. Unfortunately,I now know how bad it feels....actually it will be 2 injections. The after-effects are feeling like a large grain of sand is stuck in your eye for about 9 hours.
POH comes from having a genetic marker and exposure to bird or chicken/poultry droppings...and,I guess my weakened system allowing the reaction to take place. I can never be rid of it,so it can pop back up at any time,in one or bot eyes. I can be totally blind due to it. It often gets in the lungs,as that is how it is taken in,and from what I understand,can be fatal.
I still don't understand how it bypassed my lungs without creating havoc,with all of my health problems due to having undiagnosed lyme 17+ yrs.
If you notice a blur or a black spot that stays in one place please have it checked. Daneen

A shot in the eyeball sounds painful! I had never heard of this and just looked up info. online. I guess they call it presumed ocular histoplasmosis because they have not been able to culture out the histoplasma from the eye, they think because the inflammation kills it off.
Thanks for informing us about this. I know about histoplasma capsulatum because I worked in microbiology for awhile in the lab, but had never heard that it can cause this type of problem in the eye. Also, bat droppings can harbor histoplasma.
I always wondered why we did skin testing (like a T.B. test) for this where I did my internship in Indiana, and yet in Mich, skin tests were not done. From what I read today, it is endemic in the Ohio River Valley and Mississippi river valley and Indiana is listed as one of the states, but not Michigan.
Thanks Daneen, I learned something new today. I hope all goes well for you and your treatment.
Take care, Sally

There was a student in with the doc Friday and he asked about the presumed part too. I told him a questioned it also,and wondered how a diagnosis could be presumed. My doctor is great and gave the student a wonderful explanation.
Thanks for the added info Sally. In short my doctor calls it arthritis of the eye. From the inside looking out the bad bleed looked like macular degeneration (a black spot),my recent bleed looked like you had a fuzzy stuck in your eye. I am not looking forward to the shot.....hate it that you can REALLY see it coming!! If I wasn't on lunesta a Margarita might be in order! Daneen

I had good vision n my right eye,and didn't know I had a big black spot in the central vision of my left eye until I covered the right eye.
It looked like a blur,so I blamed the scratch on my glasses. Now I have a grid caled an Amsler gird on my refridgerator that I use to check my vision. That is why I caught this bleed early.
IF I had not covered my right eye while driving I would have lost myvision in my left eye totally. The doctor rushed me right back in to do the treatment as he said I was in danger. Daneen

I am so sorry you are having to go through this.
This is very close to my heart...My dad has lost all vision in one of his eyes already and they are now doing there best to keep him from going blind in the other eye.
He to has had tons of lazer surgery.
He also had a shot put in his eye and I know that it had steriods in the shot...which in turn made his eye worse and even caused Glaucoma ontop of the problems he was already having.
They are going to be doing a procedure at the end of the month were they will open up the pores in his eye and drain all the fluids. From what the new speacilist is saying all they can do now is try to keep him from going totally blind soon. He has diabetic rentiopath(sp) and now Glaucoma.
My heart goes out to you and I pray all will go well for you.
If you have this shot again, Please have them keep a check on the pressure in your eye!!
Hugs & Prayer
P.S. As you said..I hope others will read this and anytime you have any problems with your eye...Please get it checked right away!!

Bluerose-My eyedoc is the best doctor I have had in the 17+ years I have been ill. He is on top of everything and checks my pressure everytime I go in. He even checked the other eye as I was worried that the topomax that I took for migraines had caused the problem in my (L) eye.
He said it was low and OK to continue the topomax for migraines. I am sorry your father had to go through this and still is. I visit with alot of the older people in the office,as they all want to know why a young person is in there...I look a bit younger than I am. My Grandfather was almost totally blind with macular degeneration. Thanks for the prayers!
Stormey-thanks for the link! I hope it will help somebody. The eye doc gives out this cool and convenient "Amsler grid" that is a refridgerator magnet....that is what enabled me to catch this bleed early. thanks for being on top of things! Your are so full of great info! (be sure to read my CFS shocker post for the live blood info and the other lilve blood post....forgot to add that I included the main portion of info from the actual test on "Shocker") If you haven't already,that is...my mind is lost today!!
Tansy! Thank you SO much! I am so glad I caught this one early and they were able to treat it with the smaller laser that is available all of the time in the office. Teased my doctor and said "You didn't think I was lookin' at my grid,did ya?" Check out the 2 other posts,I added all of the info possible of everything seen in my blood,as well as all possible causes listed (NO...I wasn't out partying it up!) Love, Daneen

Shots in your eyes are just about as much fun as one would think.
I have glaucoma in both eyes, it didn't respond to anything, and I had to have a trabeculectomy surgery for it, and it failed, but before the doctor admitted it, he needled it, and it was as bad as it sounds, and injected steroids and even injected a chemotherapy drug into the eye and it hurt so badly that I cried for ten minutes.
His nurse told me I had done great, that they had people who cried for an hour.
As a medical professional, I shouldn't be shocked by anything, but I can still be thoroughly shocked.

What do they do now for you? How awful! They say the first injection is to deaden it,but you can feel it going in! I really don't think it deadens anything,you feel the 2nd needle!
My pressures were 13 and 15 and he said it was ok,but I forgot to ask what was considered a "high" pressure. I think "Moderator Mikie" on here said she also deals with Glaucoma.
I hope you see this and write back and tell me what wlse they do for you. I am so sorry for what you have had to go through. I know how awful it must have been. Daneen

York police name Vaughan café shooting suspect, issue arrest warrant
York Regional Police have issued a warrant for Jason Hay, 27, of Mississauga in connection with the June shooting.
York police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for Jason Hay, 27.
York police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for Jason Hay, 27. (York Regional Police)
York Regional Police have issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant in connection with a shooting at Moka Espresso in Vaughan that left two dead and two seriously injured.
The suspect has been identified as 27-year-old Jason Hay of Mississauga. Police warn that Hay is considered armed and dangerous.
In 2009, Hay was given a seven-year prison sentence for his involvement in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old David Latchana. At sentencing, the judge deemed Hay “beyond any hope of redemption,” calling Latchana’s murder a “public execution” intended to “instill fear” in Mississauga’s Malton community.
Police have been on the hunt for a lone gunman since the deadly shooting near near Islington Ave. and Highway 7 on June 24.
Surveillance footage previously released by police showed a suspect in a mask exiting a black Nissan Versa on the day of the shooting. Further footage, from the day before the double murder, shows a man, with his face clearly visible, appearing to inspect the same plaza that houses the café.
Article Continued Below
Investigators said they believed the suspect went to the plaza to plan the next day’s attack.
The Nissan Versa, which was a stolen vehicle, has since been recovered.
Vaughan residents Christopher De Simone, 24, and Maria Voci, 47, were found dead when police arrived at the café.
The two surviving victims have been released from hospital.
Police are urging Hay to seek legal counsel and turn himself in to authorities immediately.

The Forgotten History of Cyclone Science: Lessons for the Climate Crisis
Damage in Kolkata from Cyclone Amphan, May 2020. Source: Reuters via Al Jazeera.
This is the twelfth and final post in the series Historians Confront the Climate Emergency, hosted by, NiCHE (Network in Canadian History & Environment)Historical Climatology, and Climate History Network.
By Vinita Damodaran
In May 2020, Cyclone Amphan battered the east coast of Bangladesh and India, especially Kolkata and the Sundarbans, leaving hundreds of people dead and causing damage of over $13 million USD. This was not the first time such a storm had battered the coast but was only one in the long history of such events. In 1999, a super cyclone in Orissa killed 10,00 people and destroyed 210,000 houses. In flood-prone cities the dangers are even greater. For example, in cities in the region such as Ho Chi Minh City, Kolkata, Dhaka, and Manila, potential sea level rise and the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events pose significant adaptation challenges. The urban poor—often living in riskier urban environments such as floodplains or unstable slopes, working in the informal economy, and with fewer assets—are most at risk from exposure to hazards. Regions with active river deltas, such as Kutch in Western India and the Sundarbans, are historically more prone to frequent droughts, famines, pestilence, earthquakes and floods, which can be mapped through the archive.
For the British, the lack of environmental predictability meant a loss of control over the territory and the populace. Colonial surveys, in such contexts, were efforts to establish rule and control over unpredictable landscapes. Local archives, however, reveal knowledges, syncretic histories and pastoralist and fisher narratives that convey past social worlds that were more adept at handling environmental shocks. As such, the archival record on calamitous events, natural catastrophes and environmental shocks as catalogued by colonial sources while very rich needs to be bolstered by local archives and oral histories of communities. The scope of such historical data, both colonial and local, available to refine climate anomalies is underestimated and large amounts remain untapped, but with concerted data rescue activities this situation can be dramatically improved, both back through time and wider in space. As extreme events increase, questions regarding the predictability of such events become more important. Thus, improving the historical weather and climate data base will provide a platform with which to address key concerns in climate change.
The historical record reveals that two devastating cyclones hit the centre of Sundarbans and Calcutta in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This was a period when colonial weather data and collecting cyclones had made a big step forward. Colonial scientists realised that climate and weather are complex and vary through time and geographically. The colonial scientific network allowed for the possibility to collect useful data through lots of data points and an information flow network that spanned Australia, India and oceanic islands such as Mauritius and St. Helena. The ‘Monsoon,’ coined from the Arabic mawsin (a season), was key to understanding world climate; therefore, the Indian peninsula became key to understanding world climate. Between 1700 and 1924, many critical features of world climate were discovered by Indian civil servants, who were mostly Scots, Germans, and Bengali. They included the remarkable Henry Piddington, who wrote the Law of Storms and coined the word cyclone in 1848.[1] By 1852 there were 123 weather stations in India with the Centre of Calculation being in Calcutta. The journal Asiatic Researches published the data which included a detailed study of cyclones.
The 1864 storm had a width of 100 miles and proceeded at a speed of 10-17 miles per hour. The greatest damage on land was from a 15-foot storm surge. At the end of the cyclone, 48,000 people were declared dead in Calcutta and environs (about one third of the population), including those who died in the aftermath due to cholera. The cyclone had a differential impact on rich and poor. In Calcutta alone, 102 well-built houses were destroyed, with 563 severely damaged. On top of that, 40,698 native huts were completely levelled.
The inundation map of the cyclone of 1864 is useful for understanding the effect of settlement patterns and can help us map the impact of the current cyclone in the context of land use and deforestation history of South Asia and its coastal regions which will us help think in terms of resilience strategies for the future.
In this same period, a scheme was being mooted to develop another port as an auxiliary to Calcutta, at a location about 45 km to the south-east of Calcutta, deeper in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta, on the Matla River. A town would be settled as well. Beginning in 1853, the work of survey, settlement and the formation of a company occurred in rapid succession. That very year, Henry Piddington, who had moved his residence in Calcutta in order to pursue his varied intellectual interests, wrote to the Governor-General of India stating that, per his calculations, the Matla was directly in the way of cyclones – the term he had coined a few years earlier. He warned that the site would be extremely vulnerable to storm surges. His letter was received, and his proposition was also assessed in the Calcutta Review. In the journal, Piddington’s reputation was commended, but his proposal was refuted on the premise that there were no facts to support his projection. His critics chose to ignore his warning and stated that, given an upsurge in the river, one could always resort to the good old system of embankments. The example of prosperous coastal ports and port towns in Europe were thrown in as comparisons for good measure. Port Canning was commissioned in 1864. In 1867, a storm of moderate intensity brought six feet (1.8 metres) of water over the settlement. The port was completely destroyed and abandoned four years later, never to be rebuilt. Piddington’s claim turned out to be true.[2]
A historical understanding of the impact of past events and traditional methods of coping and adapting to these events in these regions can give us important lessons on how to deal with current extreme events and help build resilience at all levels. It is the most vulnerable groups that have been affected by the recent Cyclone Amphan. With regard to this cyclone, the protection provided by mangroves is an important lesson in how to manage the landscape. The mangroves protected areas such as Khulna in Bangladesh from destruction and salinity due to the long history of British-planted reserved forests in the region. In India, relentless land encroachment and deforestation has intensified the impact of the cyclone and made Calcutta much more vulnerable. As tropical cyclones become more common in this era of global warming, a deep historical understanding helps illuminate the responses of the state, scientists, and local communities to such issues in the past. In 1867, the folly of building Port Canning was made apparent after the Calcutta cyclone, which destroyed it.
Vinita Damodaran is a historian of modern India and Professor at the University of Sussex, interested in sustainable development dialogues in the global South. Her work ranges from the social and political history of Bihar to the environmental history of South Asia, including using historical records to understand climate change in the Indian Ocean World.

Active immunization is the introduction into the body of killed or satisfied microorganisms or their products for the purpose of stimulating the body’s defense mechanism. This concept is also applicable to other species like dogs.
Historically the area of veterinary medicine had not yet realized the potential benefits of vaccinations. It hasn’t been until recently, that veterinary experts formulated certain solutions to combat the alarming increase of death in digs. Namely, most of the causes are viral infections.
With the inception of vaccinations, many dogs were saved from probable death brought about by many diseases like leptospirosis, hepatitis, upper respiratory infections, and parvo virus.
Like humans, dogs need vaccinations even at an early age. That is why it is important to immunize puppies so that they will survive until they are fully grown.
Basically, puppies get their immunity from their mother’s milk, which is also the same as that of human beings. However, these immunities tend to lose their effects by the time the puppies are already 6 to 20 weeks old. It is during this time that they have to be immunized.
Hence, in order to protect the puppies against infectious diseases, it is best to give them their shots, and they should be re-immunized after 3 to 4 weeks. In this way, the puppies will be able to endure any infectious disease that may come their way.
Rabies and Immunization
Rabies is an acute and almost invariably fatal disease communicated to man through the saliva of a rabid animal, usually dogs, foxes, squirrels, and bats.
Dogs, fortunately, always present evidence of the disease before becoming infected. The etiologic agent is an ultramicroscopic virus present in the saliva and the central nervous system.
The course of rabies in dogs is characterized by an incubation period of 20 to 30 days. This is followed by a period of excitement when the animal becomes vicious. The excitement stage may be evident at all or maybe entirely absent. Paralysis then develops, first involving the hind legs and thereafter becoming general. Death occurs within 10 days following the first symptom.
Alternatively, the effects of rabies in human beings can be fatal as it is with dogs. Hence, in order to avoid these problems, it is best to have your dogs vaccinated with anti-rabies shots.
Rabies vaccines can be given during the 16th to the 26th week of the puppies. This requires a follow-up shot one year after for total protection.
On the other hand, dog owners should take note that not all vaccinations will generate adverse effects on their dogs. So, it is best to always observe your dog after vaccination. When certain reactions occur like vomiting, facial swelling, or trembling, it is best to discuss these matters immediately with your veterinarian.
Moreover, certain precautions should also be made when the age of the dogs are taken into consideration. For some guides regarding this matter, here are some tips:
1. The age of puppies
It is best to consider the puppies age before subjecting them to their shots.
For puppies that are 4 to 20 weeks old, their first shots should be given during their 6th to 8th weeks of age. The last shots shall be given on the 14th to 16th week of age. These dates apply to all primary vaccines.
For rabies, puppies should be 16 to 26 weeks old.
2. For dogs that are 20 weeks old up to 2 years old
During this age, dogs should have received their booster shots already. This is essential to lengthen the immunity of the vaccines in the dog’s system. At this stage, additional vaccines are recommended for added protection such as vaccines against Bordetella and other newer vaccines.
3. For dogs that are older than 2 years
By this time, the dogs should have been through with their booster shots. What comes next is the annual re-vaccination. These kinds of vaccines are still recommended lengthening their protection against certain diseases.
The bottom line is that vaccinations are extremely important to your dog’s life. Like the way it functions in human beings, vaccines are needed in order to protect the dogs from imminent risk of acquiring diseases brought about by viruses.
With dog vaccines, you can be assured that your dog will be at its peak of health for a longer period of time, free from any life-threatening diseases. Indeed, with vaccines, every life is lengthened.

Spider Webs Already???
Penny said...
Oh dear - already preparing for winter. August is my least favorite month of the year, as you'll read in an upcoming post -- so I'm trying to go into it with a positive frame of mind. I'm not sure whether an early fall/winter is a good thing -- does that mean more snow (seems like some places have just gotten the last of it shoveled up). Guess we'll have to see.
jinxxxygirl said...
Well we'll have to see if your prediction of early Fall is right! I remember hearing something about a wooly worm predicting the weather..something about the size of its stripes or if it is mostly brown or mostly black... darn darn can't remember now... Around here i've actually seen some leaves turning colors ... yellows and oranges and red... i do't know if that normal around here or not... not alot but a few... Looking forward to reading what other people say.. Hugs! deb
Mdm Samm said...
sounds like you have lots planned..and weather...seems so is cool here and is JULY...x
Momma Bear said...
Ive noticed when the weather is going to be good my spiders spin big webs with loong tethers and when weathervis going to be heavy rain they spin smaller webs with short tethers.
We get spiders all over the place here, when the weather is wet there seem to be more hanging out in the open. Sometimes there are so many it seems like they are trying to catch us!
Barbara said...
Same thing at our bay getaway, spider webs everywhere. I can't say about other wildlife, I'm just not that familiar with shore birds, but we definitely have spider webs. It wouldn't bother me if it means an early Autumn after this summer of blistering heat!
Laurie said...
Hi Carol! I went to take a glass from the cupboard, and put my hand through a web. She had spun a web starting at the ceiling, attaching to the stove hood, and across my cupboards. I didn't see her , she was probable under the hood. The broom came out right away! We were always told when the wooly caterpillars have a heavier coat than normal, and earlier in the fall it's going to be a hard winter. You and I think alike, I can't count the number of times I have stopped to take a turtle off the road. Once it was a huge snapper that my husband very carefully moved. He must have been ancient, I had never seen one that gigantic.
Magpie's Mumblings said...
I've heard that a heavy crop of things like apples and mountain ash berries means a hard winter is coming. No idea as to whether there is really anything to it though.

Simple but amazing, great work!
3. amoafowaa Says:
Those screamings must be given alphabetical lives before they quieten. The life of the writer!
• lol
It helps for some types of internal screaming, that’s for sure! When I am particularly aggravated with someone or a situation, it is not uncommon for it to be woven into the work in progress.
• amoafowaa Says:
Too bad, I release those through poetry, works in progress is shelved until the peace to continue surfaces.
• I conjecture that characters called Fassbender and Clark will meet gruesomely prolonged ends in an upcoming work, and it will be a delightful catharsis. I’m thinking impalement and disembowelment at present, skinning might be good, too. It’s really a shame that I don’t write (or read) horror at a time like this.
4. Dai Verse Says:
I normally drown the screaming out with a generous slug of a good single malt. Either that or scream-out louder.

• I know those ladies personally. Urania is always looking distant and Polyhymnia echoes. Thalia is funny, Melpomene is depressing, and Euterpe can’t keep still. Calliope is constantly feeding me suggestions! (and that’s as many as I can remember off the top of my head!) lol You know big families, sometimes you forget all the siblings. Several of them are characters in Grace books, and their mom Mnemosyne, too! 🙂

New Camera Uses Lasers to See Around Corners in Real Time
A new camera system can see around corners, locate hidden objects, and track their movements in real-time. The team of researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland developed the camera, which is apparently so sensitive that it can track individual photons.
“The system works by sending light from the camera towards the hidden object or person, and getting it back again,” explained researcher Genevieve Gariepy. “By measuring the time it takes to return to the camera, we know how far away the object is. By recording the shape of the laser ‘echo,’ we know what direction it’s coming from. It takes only a second for the camera to record all of this: so if the object is moving, we can follow it.”
The system actually sends a laser beam out 67 million times each second and averages the results to ensure accuracy. The device can then tell you the size, location, and movement of an object. Other cameras have previously used similar techniques to see around corners, but this is the first that can work in real-time. It’s much more than a tool for snooping—the technology could be used to help cars sense what is around sharp corners, as part of collision avoidance systems or in fully autonomous vehicles. The research is described in Nature Photonics.

Baum vs. Tolkien on Fairy Tales

Baum vs. Tolkien on Fairy Tales
I had The Wizard of Oz out a couple of days ago, and although I must have read the author's Introduction at some time in the past, I hadn't remembered it - so reading it again seemed like a new discovery. Since the text is in the public domain I'm copying all of it here. It has some interesting ideas for Tolkien-saturated brains:
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed children through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
- L. Frank Baum
Chicago, April, 1900
My first thought at reading this is how different it is from what Tolkien said thirty-some years later in "On Fairy-stories" - diametrically opposed regarding some concepts. My second reaction was to wonder whether Baum actually believed and/or followed what he says here. In his best-known work, did he really leave out "the heartaches and nightmares," when a young girl is caught up in a terrible storm and left in a strange land with no way to get home? And that doesn't even get into any of the doings of the wicked witch and the 40 ravenous wolves that she sends to tear Dorothy and her friends into little pieces (the witch very specifically gives the wolves permission to tear them into little pieces), or the Great Oz appearing as a giant head, a ball of fire, and a horrible hairy beast. When the scarecrow and the tin woodman are destroyed by the flying monkeys, it's hard to think that the author "dispenses with all disagreeable incidents." A story that left out everything disagreeable wouldn't even be of much use as "only entertainment," and one that avoids heartaches and nightmares would be the poorer for leaving out much of what touches the human emotions of both children and adults. Even the book's "happy ending" is bittersweet as Dorothy has to leave her newfound friends forever (well, until the sequels, anyway), and loses the silver shoes - her last connection to them - as she flies over the desert on her way home.
There's one thing Baum did that I believe is consistent with what he says in this Introduction. Most of the morals/lessons in The Wizard of Oz come not from the evil elements but from the good ones. It's true, for example, that an "old-fashioned" fairy tale might have had the lion sleep forever in the poppy field because the group of travelers had been mean to the mice, rather than the mice helping to rescue the lion to repay their kindness. But not all of the old stories are negative; as Tolkien says in "On Fairy-stories," they also tell us about the good things that can happen to widows' sons (usually because they're wise, good-hearted and/or courageous, leaving us again with positive lessons). What's probably my favorite aspect of the original Wizard of Oz story (which isn't as clearly shown in the movie) is that the things Dorothy's companions think they lack are really their strongest characteristics - even before they meet the Wizard. This also comes through in some of the old fairy tales, as when the "simpleton" of the family (usually the youngest son) shows himself to be wiser than the more "intelligent" members. I'd venture to say that hobbits play the same sort of role in Tolkien's fiction - one reason, perhaps, that his stories containing hobbits come across as more positive than those set in the First and Second Ages.
[An aside here that the Grimms' fairy tales, as collected folktales, and Andersen's fairy tales, as stories written by one identifiable author, can't really be lumped together as "old fashioned" fairy tales in the way that Baum seems to do; I'd assume that he's mainly referring to the type of folktales that the Grimm brothers collected. Just going by memory, it seems to me that Andersen's stories often make their points positively, also ("The Ugly Duckling," "The Nightingale"), although some of them have heartachingly bittersweet endings ("The Little Matchgirl," "The One-legged Tin Soldier").]
So I suspect that Baum's and Tolkien's beliefs about the necessity of "disagreeable incidents" aren't as far apart as Baum's Introduction would make them sound; Baum, though, doesn't mention the idea of the joyful turn when dyscatastrophe becomes eucatastrophe, which makes dyscatastrophe essential to the happy ending. On the other hand, in a direct rebuttal of Baum's statement about children having a particular taste for "wonder tales," Tolkien says that every healthy person has an instinctive love for "folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales" and that it's a mistake to relegate them to the children's library in the first place.
I also believe Tolkien looked at the idea of stories that are "manifestly unreal" from a very different direction than Baum. Besides Baum's assumption that children are especially attracted to such stories, he's also assuming that children are especially attracted to such stories. Tolkien said that children read fairy-stories because that's what's given to them, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be as happy to read other kinds of literature. In addition, what's "manifestly unreal" to an adult might not be so to a young child. As Tolkien said, a child asking "Is it true?" after hearing a story about a dragon, is very likely really asking, "Am I safe in my bed?" more than he or she is asking whether the story is historically factual. And reading about dinosaurs, Vikings, or the moons of Jupiter can be as wonder producing as reading about fairies and ogres.
In fact, I'd think Tolkien would say that it isn't so much the "manifestly unreal" elements of fairy-stories, legends, and myths that attract both children and adults, but rather the reality they manifest to our hearts and spirits - if not always to our minds. And sometimes even to our minds: as Tolkien points out in his Epilogue to "On Fairy-stories," a historically true story can carry the benefits of a fairy-story if it contains the right elements. Our sense of wonder isn't necessarily turned on by the presence of elements we regard as "unreal" - or turned off by the presence of "facts."
Perhaps Baum's most limiting statement (which, again, I wouldn't say he completely follows in his own writing) is that the only thing fairy tales, myths and legends can teach is morality - that everything else is entertainment. Unless you label everything concerning life, creation, and humanity as "morality," the education they offer goes far beyond that: even in The Wizard of Oz.

Writing a College Admissions Essay
Writing a College Admissions Essay
The college admissions essay is a personal statement that puts your essay writing skills to the test. In writing a college admissions essay you’ll combine narrative, persuasive, cause and effect, descriptive, and reflective essay forms into one cohesive self-portrait.
Although a large part of your essay will be autobiographical, the college admissions essay must do more than look at your past. The college admissions board wants to see that you have a well formed vision of where you are now and what you hope to accomplish in the future both during and beyond college.
Your First College Examination - Yourself
Before you begin writing a college admissions essay, consider who will read it. College admissions boards read hundreds of essays each year, many that are almost carbon copies of the next. Your essay will need to stand out from the crowd and impress the admissions board with the unique individual that is you.
The most frequent criticism of college admissions essays is that the writer isn’t specific in answering the individual questions asked, especially in tailoring his/her response to the school. You can find answers to the most frequently asked questions by answering a few questions about yourself.
What is the most impressive characteristic of your personality?
What is the most distinctive element of your life story?
What about your life most influenced your choices and the goals you have set for your future.
What influenced you to choose your field of interest? Why are you well suited to the course of study you have chosen?
What are your real goals for the future? What milestones have you passed and what milestones must you pass in order to achieve your goals?
Have you left anything out that might be relevant to your personal statement? Keep thinking of questions to answer that relate to your course of study, your goals, and the school(s) to which you are applying.
As you answer your questions, don’t write descriptive paragraphs. Just write down the information. Your answers are evidence that you’ll use in your responses to specific questions.
Your College Admissions Essay Topic
Like any essay, the introduction of your college admissions essay should introduce your topic and the main points that support your topic. Don’t make the mistake of thinking your topic is either an overview or a long-winded dissertation on your life.
The college admissions board wants to see what events in your life led you to an interest in your course of study and what makes you believe that attending their school will best help you achieve your goals. The first paragraph should be the framework and set the scene for your entire college admissions essay.
Use each paragraph of the body to elaborate on a single point with statements that both support the point and relate to the essay topic.
Example: What is the most impressive characteristic of your personality?
Wrong answer: My sense of humor is my most impressive characteristic.
Wrong answer: I was always the class clown and frequently broke up the class with my antics.
Better answer (There are no real right answers!): A strong sense of humor helps me keep an optimistic viewpoint. Although I’m not an incurable optimist, humor also helps keeps problems in perspective. My sense of humor has often been an essential tool in finding the solution to a problem. (You might follow with an example of a problem that your sense of humor helped you solve.)
Looking at the questions above, if the question was “What is the most distinctive event of your life story?” Your answer might be that solving a particular problem was the most distinctive event and include how your most impressive characteristic, your sense of humor, helped you find the solution.
Remember: Tailor your college admissions essay to answer the specific questions asked. This is the most important thing you can do in writing a good college admissions essay.
Turn Obstacles to Your Advantage
Although we all probably would like to sweep past mistakes under the rug, in writing a college admissions essay it’s essential to face them head on. However, just acknowledging mistakes isn’t enough. For instance, if you have discrepancies in your academic record, do disclose them at some point in your personal statement. Also, explain them, not just with an excuse but with the reason for them. In addition, explain what you did or are doing to make corrections.
Have you made some “wrong choices” in your life that led you to change your path and were instrumental in setting your current goals?
Have you overcome some obstacle (physical, financial, social) that makes you a better candidate for your course of study?
Remember: Make whatever you write relevant to your course of study and your choice of school.
Know your school and be prepared to explain why you chose it with substantial, yet honest reasons.
What about its program appeals to you?
What does it offer that other schools do not?
What are your expectations in choosing the school?
Conclude Your Essay – The Logical Choice
Conclude your college admissions essay by fashioning a summary that shows how “this” school is the logical choice. Of course, you’ll check your essay for mechanical errors, but also check your essay to be sure that:
All points relate to your topic
All points are well supported
All points lead to a logical conclusion – your application to “this” school!

JAMS Technical Discussion
haha. Happy to have such good apps inspiring such thinking!
Really is great to see, @Nigel, @BryanB!
Keep up the good work :tada:
1 Like
Correct, in the same way as when you change a file of a safesite, everyone sees the change automatically.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but I think I know were you are coming from. One important thing to remember is that the account’s Default Containers (i.e. _public, _publicNames, etc.) are just private MutableData, i.e. they are not stored in a specific or special place, they are just at a random location and encrypted with the account’s/user’s credentials. What makes them special, if you wish, it’s just that you have an index created by default (in the Root Container) when the account is created so you can access them thru their names. You can find more details about the Root and Default containers in this RFC: https://github.com/maidsafe/rfcs/blob/master/text/0046-new-auth-flow/containers.md
I think that’s what the type tag is/should be for, so you can have a convention of type tags for albums, another for playlist, etc.
Also, if you think about it, you could be publishing albums using their title/name in a similar way as how the public id’s Services container are stored. Thus if your album is called "Soda Stereo" and the convention for albums is to have a type tag 15008, the album’s MD could then be stored at address sha3("Soda Stereo") with type tag 15008, then I don’t even need to give you the XOR address to share it, I just text you with the album’s name. This will only work if that address happens to be free obviously, perhaps unlikely to happen but totally possible (you could have some squatting issue here as well I imagine).
This is an interesting thread and very useful in trying to figure out the best design patterns to use with the SAFE API and storage model.
A couple of thoughts:
This is tricky. One thought is where individuals share things the app creates a ‘salt’ for each user, and when sharing with trusted friends this ‘salt’ could be shared. So users of hash(title) the xor address to find things I share with you would be hash(title) ^ happybeing's salt
Clunky, the salts would be stored by your app, so if @bochaco texts me Hey happybeing, check out ‘Soda Stereo’ I paste ‘Soda Stereo’ into JAMS and when it comes up with not found it prompts Check friend uploads? and when I choose @bochaco from the list it can find the file by using his ‘salt’.
Ugly, so maybe not a great idea. Into thought number two…
To handle the problem of Gabriel sharing a playlist with me or anything else with editable data (music library index) there are two options, and apps can do either A or B, or offer this as a configuration setting, or prompt etc
A) Store a pointer to the Mutable Data. Pro: simple, cheap (1 PUT) Concensus: when Gabriel changes his MD I might lose stuff I wanted to keep (eg a particular music file) or worse, be deceived into downloading something harmful (malware, porn, an advert for Coka Cola etc)
B) Store a Copy of The Mutable Data, including a pointer back to the original). Pro: I have both the original and my own copy which I can edit Con: it could cost more (depends on the size of the index).
C) Store a Copy of the Mutable Data in an Immutable Data, and add a mutable data if I ever want an edited version (which could just store changes). Pro: maximum functionality - never lose the original, can see/track Gabriel’s changes, can have my own changes on top of the original or in top of Gabriel’s latest. Con: more complexity, cost depends because using Immutable Data might be cheaper than B) until you start editing at least.
Those options you described @happybeing is exactly what I had in my head, just give the option to the user receiving a shared album/playlist, because sometimes you are sharing an album with someone and he is not really interested in storing a copy/clone of it but just listen to it once, the same for those using a jamstube safesite :stuck_out_tongue: , the user could be just drinking some beer while listening to random music that was shared by people and friends, perhaps when the user likes a song/album/playlist (by clicking a like button/icon) at that moment the app can make a copy/clone for the user (option A or B).
I agree this is a nice topic with interesting thoughts!
Hmmm. I’m not sure the type tag is necessarily enough… Or I worry things could get too granular there (and we end up maintaining an index of type tags to find all relevant to your cause…)
A playlist could be music or video… or audiobooks… (or a specific subset of those).
A playlist type tag doesn’t necessarily help an app distinguish if it’s what it should be consuming. So then would we have a type tag for each? Or is an ‘indexed list’ the type tag (and so would be applicable to search indexes as well) and then some ‘tag’ setup on the data which could be used in terms of metadata searching.
@joshuef this is where I’m trying to feel my way towards how / when to use services. With a service* you can provide behaviour as well as type, and both can be modified and extended in a back compatible way, similar to an API.
* With apps using services implemented using a library that is, which is what I’m currently exploring in this topic and the safenetwork-webapi library.
If anyone has thoughts on those I’d be very interested as I’m going out on a limb at the moment.
I’m not coding this week but will get back to it after the weekend and fingers crossed a demo is not far off.

Good thought, and don’t worrying about interjecting. This is a pretty open thread and your comment fits well.
So the history itself might not be a service as we’ve been discussing it, but making one’s history public could allow it to be mined by recommendation services on behalf of the user or other users who share similar tastes.
in fact, the same could be said for your history or a carefully crafted playlist. Fun fact about JAMS: History is just another playlist. So generally, make playlists publicly available for mining (ideally at the user request and not be default).
I’ll keep that in mind and add it to notes for future work.
I didn’t mean to imply that. I meant to imply that as JAMS uses the data now, it is a list of XORs without context. The context is assumed by JAMS, if you loaded a list of XORs that weren’t songs … it’d get dumb about it and treat them as songs anyway.
I agree that an abstract data structure would be nice. Perhaps a UUID (or a subset of UUID to reduce bytes) to identify data types could be employed? Maybe build a registry so humans can look it up and understand what UUID is reserved for what data types? Potentially include a version as well, though honestly, UUIDs are large enough to have a new one for each new version.
For example, there might be a UUID for Type: Song, then another UUID for Type: Indexed List. Each item in the Indexed List is a tuple of (UUID, XOR). Now JAMS can load a playlist (which is an Indexed List) and check that each XOR corresponds to a song type that JAMS understands how to parse by checking its corresponding UUID. JAMS no longer would assume each XOR is a song, and should not-a-song be encountered, it could easily decide this isn’t a valid playlist for JAMS.
Copy/Paste and replace “XOR” with “MD url”, or have UUIDs which refer to XORs and others which refer to MD urls, then the second part of the tuples might contain XOR or MD url. Shrug. UUIDs are huge.
EDIT: I’m responding to comments in order, and I see these ideas are being hashed out in a number of ways after I already wrote this response here. This response still seems valid for quite a bit of different comments from @joshuaef @happybeing and @bochaco
I looked so many places for what type tag means and what values to use. All the documentation had examples with arbitrary numbers (and no description of what the field is used for at all), so I began using the arbitrary numbers from the examples.
Is there going to be a list of accepted tags chosen by the community somewhere? Like a wiki or a registry? I’m not sure having every developer wing it is a good idea.
Is there any network advantage to using type tags instead of baking it into the (higher level) data of the MD or XOR? Why would someone use a type tag other than it’s there?
Possibly an off topic but, have you considered adding a lossless audio format? For any audiophile it is a very important option.
The most common lossless format is Flac and you have JS libraries like https://github.com/audiocogs/flac.js
Also Ogg Vorbis support :slight_smile:
(The FLOSS version of mp3)
Not sure how applicable in this context, but in case it is, the semantic Web provides a universal mechanism for identifying data types, creating /finding & re-using vocabularies etc based on URIs rather than UUIDs, so when apps use those there’s a greater chance of cross app data sharing, data discovery etc. I don’t know a lot about this yet, but if it is applicable here I think it might be worth investigation.

I modified an HTML5 audio test page to work on Safe and both, Peruse 0.4.1 and SafeBrowser 0.9.0, pass all the test including ogg, opus and flac.
@drehb @digipl
We’re currently using the built-in AUDIO tag. The browser handles which audio formats are supported. However, I’m fairly sure the Safe Browser is built using FFMPEG which should support FLAC and OGG. Try it out!
I’m uncertain about the streaming browser and how the streaming will integrate with the built-in audio support. That’s a different issue for a different day. I’m also uncertain if the Peruse browser is built with the same audio parsing libraries, but I’ll test that out soon enough.
One of these days I’ll read all replies before posting responses. Today was not that day. Thanks for the thorough testing! Also glad to hear it’s working with Peruse, I hadn’t gotten that far yet!
I only have limited metadata parsing support. I can read ID3s off MP3s and I think whatever metadata from AAC. This is from an open source javascript library. It doesn’t support metadata from other audio containers like OGG. So if you upload a song in a container like OGG, I strongly suspect you’ll have to fill in the artist, song name, and album yourself. I haven’t found many open source Javascript libraries to parse audio files as it is, so I was happy we got the two most common formats covered.
I appreciate the sentiment, but semantic web is very pie-in-the-sky, and I’m effectively trying to engineer something today, right now. If we can find concrete, solid practices that are proven today, great! If not, then I’ll wing it or use other practices (like UUID which are tested and proven and in common use). This project is more about getting it out there than getting it perfect.
I am both an engineer and an academic (which is why I appreciate the note), but as a lone developer on this major project built atop bleeding edge software with a lot of quirks, I am strictly an engineer or the project would never move forward.
I’m not sure why you are so skeptical about the semantic Web, it exists and is ready for anyone to use - I’m not sure if it is applicable to JAMS, but there’s very little overhead in finding out if there is a suitable RDF type - which I’d be happy to help with. Adopting that rather than a UUID that is known only to your application would I think be trivial. Adopting RDF would be more work, so of course you may not feel it worthwhile, but there are potential advantages for applications and there are lots of libraries ready to use, and a community of developers to help anyone trying to use them.
LinkedData vocabularies exist ready for use and are being adopted widely. There’s a decent and growing set of tools in use and many in development. Add that to LDP and you have something much more than a single application with application specific data, and interoperability with a growing ecosystem.
I get that you don’t want to be diverted, so no problem with that. Just want to correct the impressions about the state of LinkedData / RDF, and to let you know that I’ll help where I can.
EDIT: I did a quick search…
This gives a basic intro to using RDF for audio publishing:
Did you check this?
Or this?
The word “ontology” is what makes me skeptical. Great for academic studies and planning out solutions, but I’ve not yet seen RDF implemented by anyone trying to accomplish anything. It’s usually an academic research tool, which is valuable, but not for getting stuff done. Almost every RDF I’ve seen people promote gets set aside for a W3C or IEEE RFC that solve the problem in a more compact and elegant way. My experiences with RDFs is that they are usually too abstract to be of practical use, and any implementation details effectively make it your own version separate from the “specification.” Things might have changed since I last looked though. Again, I’m trying to get the app done, not research abstract ontologies (which is a fun pursuit, just not for this task).
I’m glad to see really good documentation here. I don’t see it as a widely adopted standard though. If you see this being used in the wild and see how it applies to JAMS interoperating with those wild applications, I’ll consider overhauling all my data storage at that time.
It wouldn’t necessarily be restricted to JAMS, especially if the UUID scheme is well documented and shared. Just like the RDF you pointed out. Adoption is what matters. Given all else equal, I’d rather get it done quickly whipping together a UUID solution than spend weeks trying to grok the ontology of the RDF. Can always go back and change it later.

Thanks for doing some research.
Borewit’s music-metadata is for Node, which uses a different Javascript engine. It’s meant for server side JS interpreted by the Node engine. We’re using client side JS interpreted by the V8 engine.
Most of what I found on github was for Node.
Tmont’s audio-metadata is something I will bookmark and look at more closely. Based on my quick look, I think it only supports OGG and ID3 (and I already have ID3 support). The addition of OGG is certainly something.

My Country.
Australia can be a hard land. Much of the continent is desert and nearly all those enticing looking lakes on the map are dry saltpans, hence names like Lake Disappointment. Droughts and water shortages are the norm with only a relatively small portion of land where grazing is lush or water intensive cropping is possible. Many of our trees are high in volatile oils so when a fire breaks out it spreads with terrifying speed. While most of us get just enough rain, in the tropics the volume can be enormous and so can the devastation.
The climate of Australia is changing. I can see this in my own little corner of Western Australia. Less rain in winter - our rainfall comes largely in that three month period - and more humidity in summer for starters. Australia's population continues to grow and the areas that can supply our needs shrink. The irrigation areas along the Murray-Darling basin we have relied on so heavily are suffering acute water shortages and elsewhere crops are having to be modified to cope with the changes.
There is a poem by Dorothea Mackellar, My Country, which is taught in our schools. It’s also been set to music. The words sum up Australia and Australians so eloquently I don’t know why it wasn’t made our national anthem. They stir me every time I hear them, tapping in as they do to the reality of this continent. Mackellar wrote it while she was in England and compares the soft, lush green of that land with the harshness of the countryside where she lived in Australia. She knew the dangers of the Australian landscape – but like her countrymen and women, forgave them. We know we live where vicious bushfires threaten life and property every summer, where floods can come without warning, where years can go by with barely enough rain to sustain life. We do what we can to survive all these natural disasters because Australia is also a bountiful country. In the good times she gives us enough to live well and if the price is the bad times when we have to struggle, that’s the way it is.
But, having said that, there is no reason why we shouldn’t improve our use of what we have. We need to start finding and implementing solutions, learning from other dry land cultures and creating innovative ways to care for our land and ourselves. We have the ability. Now we have to act. Even without climate change we have known for many years that these problems exist. Dorothea Mackellar was writing about them in 1908. We need to start to deal with them.
To read the poem and find out more about this gifted poet go to the Dorothea Mackellar website.

Too bleedin' right, Helen. Iin the last generation we seem to have forgotten that our ancestors got by without air conditioning or motor cars, and they kept warm by putting more clothes on, not by turning up the heating!

I was imterrupted:-) I wanted to add that we used to be leaders in dry land cultivation. We've got to get away from irrigation and restore the rivers to their natural flow.
Down here in the SE of SA, we have high rainfall and what looks like plenty of water, but in fact much of our water flows underground from NSW. So while we seem to be drought-free at present, in fact our reservoirs are getting low because most of our rain ends up the sea. We're almost as dependent on the Murray-Darling system aa the rest of eastern Oz.
Imagine me said...
The Murray-Darling system is certainly in a critical situation and the state of the lakes at its end in SA due to the water taken from upstream is a cause for national shame.

DuckDuckGo for SEO
gour gour
Created: 4 years and 5 months ago
I'm learning about SEO and that's how I 'discovered' DuckDuckGo. :-)
Now, I believe that many of SEOs are not happy with the way how Google is handling SEO people by giving us 'not provided' keyword, favourizing big sites/brands and leaving small sites/business open to 'negative SEO' attacks by penalizing bad links.
That's why I consider it's not smart to 'put all eggs in one basket'., but, otoh, SEO people are generating lot of searches which can help wider adoption of DDG. :-)
Now I'm evaluating one SEO tool called AWR which can provide 'localized search' by selecting specific ' Google engine' - either by country or even by providing location's lat/long.
I understand that with DDG I can select my preferred region, but wonder how it could be possible to use such setting to create localized search engine within the application itself?

Dock have some guidelines like google?, it helps for web design and content creation thinking on this search engine.

Grief and message of defiance at seat of military power
Toby Harnden in Arlington, Virginia
AT precisely 9.37 am, exactly a decade after a hijacked Boeing 757 had slammed into the building in front of them, survivors and relatives of those who died in the Pentagon silently bowed their heads in remembrance.
The point of impact was marked by a huge American flag, above which were silhouetted six figures with weapons and binoculars scouring the distance. After 'Amazing Grace' had been sung, a wreath was laid at each memorial bench commemorating the victims -- 59 for the doomed souls on board, 125 for those who died inside.
It was a ceremony marked by profound grief and pride. At times, there was also a distinctly Old Testament air of defiant revenge -- this was, after all, the seat of American military power attacked in a manner reminiscent of the 1941 strike on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese.
"No music can assuage, no tongue can express, no prayer alone may dampen the yearning that must fire yet inside you," said Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Lives ended in this place. Dreams were shattered. Futures were instantly altered. Hopes were tragically dashed."
He added: "From this place of wrath and tears, America's military ventured forth as the long arm and the clenched fist of an angry nation at war. And we have remained at war ever since, visiting upon our enemies the vengeance they were due."
In front of him were 1,600 people, including 1,200 relatives of victims, who had gathered for the private ceremony at the building in Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington.
As they listened to the speeches and music, passenger planes taking off from nearby Reagan National Airport roared across the sky -- a reminder of the way planes were turned into deadly missiles in 2001 but also of how normal life was continuing 10 years on.
Leon Panetta, the US Defence Secretary, pointed out that rather than damaging the country's values, the attacks strengthened America's "liberty, equality, tolerance and fairness".
Mr Panetta said that "al Qa'ida tried to weaken us, but instead they made us stronger."
Vice President Joe Biden, his voice at first a whisper and later a shout, spoke of American resilience. "It's a basic American instinct to respond to crises when help is needed to comfort the afflicted," he said.
Afterwards, relatives walked to the benches for private moments remembering those they had lost.
Donn Marshall, his arms around his son Drake (13) and daughter Chandler (11), paused at a marble tablet marked with 184 names to recall his wife and their mother.
Shelley Marshall (37), a Defence Intelligence Agency analyst, died instantly when Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Mr Marshall said that when he found his children at an evacuation point "it was the happiest moment of my life and then it became the worst.
"When I got here the gash of the building was right where the flag is there. Shelley's office was at the other end of this facade 100 yards away. I knew something was wrong because Shelley was not at the daycare to get the kids."
That night was "the hardest decision I ever had to make" -- whether to keep looking for his wife or go to look after his children. "I thought, 'They're wondering where their parents are and I don't know if Shelley's in there or in hospital.' I thought the kids needed a parent and Shelley would want me to go to them."
Three days later, she was confirmed as dead. Mr Marshall said that although he still feels anger each day, there has been some healing over time.

Parents putting together baby registries on Amazon have begun to notice a pesky problem, one that has resulted in parents receiving items they neither listed nor wanted. The online retailer has been placing sponsored products in baby registries, the Wall Street Journal reports, but because the ads look so similar to other registry items, people are purchasing them, unaware that the items weren't added to the registry by parents. Like added items, the sponsored products include an image, rating, price and a "0 of 1 Purchased" tag. The only thing that distinguishes them is a small, gray "Sponsored" label situated just above the item name.
[...] One new dad told the Wall Street Journal that he only realized Amazon had placed sponsored products in his baby registry when the Aveeno bath-time set arrived at his home. He said the ads were "blatantly trying to trick you." "Worst part is a friend spent money on something we didn't want. And Amazon profited," he added. While users can remove these ads from their registries, Amazon reportedly told advertisers that around 60 percent were left in place.

I've seen a few studies showing that people are becoming less and less susceptible to traditional forms of's one such report for example: []
First they had the traveling salesman. Then people started to learn that the salesman would be long gone with your money by the time your found out that the product sucked, so they stopped buying the "snake oil" and other products.
So then they had stuff like TV/radio ads and big national brands. You can trust them, because you know where they are! Except they'd still sell you pure lies, they just had a new shield -- legalese and fine print. But people again learned to be cautious and "don't believe everything you see on TV"
Then we get product placement, but we start to learn how that works too, and pretty soon instead of "Spiderman drinks Coca-Cola!", we see the can and go "Nice attempt at product placement ya jerks"
So now they impersonate your friends and family and pretend the ads are coming from someone you know. I'm really not sure how the hell they're shielding themselves from fraud laws in doing so...but I guess they've bought out enough politicians by now...

What Does an Orthodontic Assistant Do?

Orthodontic assistants work in dental offices alongside orthodontists, performing any tasks that may be required to assist the orthodontist in his work on a patient. Additional orthodontic assistant duties can include preparing the patient for an exam or procedure; filing and maintaining patient records; and preparing instruments for the orthodontist. Some assistants also are trained to perform certain types of testing, such as taking patient X-rays, and to administer local anesthesia.
In general, an orthodontic assistant will greet patients as they are welcomed into the facility, pull the patients' charts for the orthodontist to review, and assist the doctor in preparing the patient for a procedure. A professional in this position is generally responsible for making a patient feel comfortable as well, and will answer his questions and concerns. The assistant will commonly be on-hand during the procedure to help the orthodontist with instruments, provide necessary suction, and anything else the orthodontist might require for the procedure. Depending on the orthodontic office and the level of education and training of the assistant, the position job duties may also include taking patient X-rays and administering certain types of anesthetic.
Duties of an orthodontic assistant may also include preparing instruments for the orthodontist by using an autoclave to sterilize them before use. Additionally, some orthodontic assistant duties include organizing, cleaning and sorting the instruments. Some supplies are one-use only, such as latex gloves and rubber bands for braces, so the assistant may need to review the facility's inventory to ensure that they are well-stocked and order more if necessary. An assistant also makes sure that the environment is clean and sanitized thoroughly before the orthodontist sees patients.
An orthodontic assistant may also be expected to maintain patient files or records and organize them accordingly. Under this job duty, the assistant pulls the records before the treatment is performed, reviews the notations that are in the file, and adds any other pertinent information that may be required. The assistant may also be required to ensure that all of the patients' records are categorized in the correct order according to the filing system at his particular facility. In some cases, an orthodontic assistant job may include billing or other insurance-related tasks.
To become an orthodontic assistant, one must typically pursue some level of higher education beyond a high school diploma or its equivalent. Community colleges often offer dental assisting programs that end in certificates, but it may be possible to find an orthodontist who will provide on-the-job training. Additionally, some jurisdictions will require orthodontic assistants to be licensed.
