Another Smoking GISS/USHCN Nuke
In my previous GISS/USHCN post I reconstructed what current GISS US should look like by calculating the USHCN yearly adjustments and subtracting them from the current GISS data. I came up with this.
Then I remembered that John Daly saved off a version of GISS US temperatures in 1999.
The graph below plots 1999 GISS and my reconstructed GISS
Bingo, we have a pretty good match!. This proves that the post 2000 USHCN adjustments are much larger (more than 200%) than they are publishing. Game over. They show 0.5F, when the real adjustments are closer to 1.2F
The graph below shows the difference between my GISS reconstruction and the 1999 published data. You can see that they were already cooling the past in 1999
But nothing like they are now!

“GISS Current Minus GISS 1999” looks like a hockey stick, albeit a mirror image.
3. Don Gaddes says:
Too bad for the Climate Shysters the Trees cant be ‘bought.’ They (with Deep Ice Cores etc,) continue to provide incontrovertible evidence for what actually happened – and is happening.
4. Brian D says:
Glad I jogged your memory on the John Daly link in the Steve M. 2007 post (unless it was just coincidence). Good data to have. Too many magic tricks going on. Time to expose this ruse with facts instead of just harping about it. Good job, Steven!
5. Mi Cro says:
I’ve been studying the the difference between how much the daily temp goes up during the day, minus how much it falls during the night a number of blogs on it are here
Actual measured surface temperatures do not show the modern warming to be anything special.
6. Traitor In Chief says:
Awareness must arrive at the place where the (every) GOP congressman can confidently call this fraud a fraud. The perpetrators have gone so long now with the illusion of credibility. The enemy can’t be defeated if he isn’t called into the open and confronted.
This site should be required reading for all GOP members of congress.
7. Is there any way we can get a FOI on NOAA to supply a list of US temps before and after adjustments?
8. wealthychef says:
So, am I the only one here that does not understand that GISS/USHCN means? It would be great if you could explain this a bit for laypeople. Or at least put in a link to your previous post that you reference.
9. Rud Istvan says:
Great analysis. I have been writing a book on a related subject, only using climate change as a culminating example. You nailed it. See partial contributory analyses at complementary blog Climate Etc.

Neocon Architects of Disastrous Iraq War Still At Large
On Thursday, at least 13 people were killed in a ISIS attack on a café in Baghdad for the ‘crime’ of watching a football match. The day before at least 88 people were killed in three explosions across Baghdad; scores were injured.
<figcaption>Here's one of them. Krauthammer, with his spooky plastic surgery, was a leading cheerleader, and a darling of the US TV circuit. How come?</figcaption>
The next few months though are going to very tricky for the ‘Don’t Mention the Iraq war’ clique. After years of delay, the Chilcot report into the war, is finally coming out in Britain in July.
There are legitimate fears, bearing in mind the composition of the panel, that Chilcot will seek to whitewash those who took us to war. Another Establishment cover-up certainly can’t be discounted.
But if Sir John does try and tell us that the war was all an ‘honest mistake’, he and his panel will be a laughing stock. Whatever Chilcot’s conclusions are, the important thing is that Iraq will be back in the news headlines, and this represents a great opportunity for those of us who opposed the 2003 invasion to ensure that justice is finally done.
It’s surely clear to almost everyone now that we were lied into an illegal war which not only destroyed an entire country, but which also led directly to the rise of IS and helped bring terrorism to Europe too.
We don’t need Sir John to tell us that Bush and Blair knew there were no WMDs in Iraq - as common sense and logic tells us that the deadly duo would never have invaded if they had genuinely believed the lurid claims contained in the decidedly dodgy dossiers.
'Saddam has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes'.
Horse manure.
'Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction program is active, detailed and growing'.
'Saddam Hussein… has the wherewithal to develop smallpox'.
'We know that Iraq and al-Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade...We've learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases'.
‘The threat is very real and it is a threat not just to America or the international community but to Britain.’ Has the trash been collected yet?
Yet up to now- the people who peddled this bullsh** - bullsh** which led to the deaths of up to 1m people and made the Middle East and the world a far more dangerous place - have got off scot-free.
Tony Blair did step down as British Prime Minister in 2007, but remains a free man. Almost every week, we read in the newspapers about the vast fortune he has accumulated, with much of the money coming from governments and countries which benefited from the toppling of Saddam.
Blair’s partner in crime, George W. Bush, also remains at liberty.
Politicians who voted for an illegal war and who have failed to offer us a mea culpa for doing so - have advanced - but not to the jailhouse. In 2005, as I explained here, the pro-war David Cameron was fast-tracked by the neocons to become Conservative leader - at the expense of the more popular anti-war Ken Clarke.
In the US, the pro-Iraq war Hillary Clinton is the current odds-on favorite to succeed Barack Obama in the White House.
Disgustingly, obscenely, and outrageously, some of the most vociferous opponents of the Iraq war - the people who correctly predicted the disasters that would occur if Iraq was invaded - have seen their careers go into reverse because of the stance they took.
In Britain, George Galloway, the antiwar socialist who toured the country warning us what would happen if we listened to Bush and Blair, has become an outcast. The man who was branded as a ‘traitor’ by the pro-war Blairites for his stance on Iraq, is still waiting for his expulsion from the Labour Party to be rescinded. In the US, as anti-war activist Don Debar pointed out on Crosstalk this week, people of note who had opposed the Iraq war resolution - including Cynthia McKinney and Dennis Kucinich - had been ‘driven out of Congress by one mechanism or another’.
Meanwhile, in the media, the journalists and neocon think-tankers who fed us with conspiracy theories about Saddam’s non-existent WMDs and his non-existent links with Al Qaeda, continue to push pro-war propaganda. They are regular guests on Establishment friendly current affairs programmes on both sides of the Atlantic, imparting their 'expertise’ on Syria and other foreign policy issues. No one ever has the courage to ask them: ‘Whatever happened to those WMDs you told us that Iraq had?
At the same time, the journalists who called Iraq right - like the great John Pilger - are absent from Western television news and current affairs programs. You’ve got to tune in to channels like RT - which the hawks would dearly love to see taken off air - to see them.
I’m sure that future generations will be shocked and appalled at how the Iraq war brigade were able to get away with it for so long.
Iraq, in the words of John Pilger, was an ‘epic crime against humanity’, yet its perpetrators and enablers, are still there, thirteen years on, making money before our very eyes.
How have we allowed this to happen?
The pro-Iraq war clique have attempted to use political correctness to their advantage. As part of what Media Lens calls‘demonising dissent’ - the fourth component of a ’Propaganda Blitz’,principled opponents of western foreign policy are smeared as ‘sexist’ ‘misogynist‘, ‘racist’ ‘conspiracy theorists’ ‘genocide deniers’ and even ‘dictator apologists’ -in the hope that no one will draw attention to the ‘morally virtuous’ attacker’s support for wars which have led to over 1m people losing their lives.
Identity politics has played into the war lobby’s hands. The neocons and Blairites are able to pose as ‘progressives’ who care deeply about the rights of women and gay people- while all the time pushing for wars which will kill women and gay people in great numbers.
To deflect attention away from their crimes, the Iraq war clique- who have clearly read their Orwell- also encourage us to focus on the alleged crimes of ‘Official Enemies’. We’re supposed to feel outraged over a non-existent ‘Russian invasion of the Ukraine’, while forgetting about the all too real invasion of Iraq and its catastrophic consequences.
Cowardly Establishment-friendly ‘leftists’, who wouldn‘t retweet or cite with approval an article published by RT because of fear they’d be excommunicated from the ‘Elite Journos Club’, happily engage with unrepentant pro-Iraq war propagandists on social media.
In doing so these western faux-progressives are effectively saying that the deaths of up to 1m Iraqis don’t matter. They’re sticking a big two fingers up at the people of the global south who have been the victims of neocon wars and destabilization campaigns.
The Nuremberg Judgement was quite clear: To launch a war of aggression, as the Iraq war clearly was, ‘is not only an international crime; it is the SUPREME INTERNATIONAL CRIME differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.’
If we have retain any proper sense of right and wrong, then it is those who carried out the ‘supreme international crime’ - and their supporters - who should be treated as pariahs, and not those who opposed the crime.
We don’t just need to campaign for Bush and Blair and their cohorts to stand trial (a website here offers a reward for those who attempt a peaceful citizen’s arrest of Blair), but also to work for a new law to bar those who supported the ‘supreme international crime’ and who have not publicly apologized for their actions, from holding public office in Britain and America.
In Germany after WW2, Denazification took place to remove Nazis from positions of power and influence. We need similar action today against the serial warmongers of the 21st century.
In Britain, the publication of Chilcot in July should provide the perfect opportunity for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who opposed the Iraq invasion, to go on the front foot against his pro-war critics in the party who have worked tirelessly to undermine his democratic mandate.
There’s still hope too that in America, Hillary the Hawk can be defeated.
Let’s talk about Iraq. Let’s talk about it incessantly. Let’s make sure that there is a reckoning, at long last, in 2016. Because if we want justice for the 1m or so people who lost their lives because of pack of lies nothing else will do.

A note on correlation
Correlation is often used as a preliminary technique to discover relationships between variables. More precisely, the correlation is a measure of the linear relationship between two variables. Pearson’s correlation coefficient is defined as:
As written above, the main drawback of correlation is the linear relationship restriction. If the correlation is null between two variables, they may be non-linearly related. As written in Tan et al. (2006), x and x^2 have a correlation of zero but are non-linearly related. Remind that non-linear does not mean polynomial. Consider for example x and cos(x). Although their correlation is close to zero, they are related.

1. What metric do you recommend using in place of correlation? In other words, what metric do you recommend, one that is good at telling me that “x” and “x^2” are essentially correlated?
2. Ahh, the ol’ x vs. x^2 example! I use that one all the time in teaching about correlations. I usually use correlations as a first step in eliminating variables that are replicates of one another: if two variables are correlated at .95 or above (or -0.95 or below), they bring essentially the same information to the table, and only one is needed to convey that piece of information.
Regarding Kevin’s question–it is a good one. I actually wrote a paper (not a very good one) for an IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics conference on the topic of “nonlinear” correlations, and proposed an algorithm to find these nonlinear relationships. It basically fit simple nonlinear models of every variable and used a scoring metric (like R^2) to assess how related the variables were to each other nonlinearly. But I have never found anything very clean in this regard, and typically don’t worry about these nonlinear relationships.
The biggest reason people worry about the linear correlation problem is that co-linearity is a destructive problem in regression models. But “nonlinear correlation” is not, and in fact, including both terms in a regression model can be quite a good idea precisely because they are orthogonal (linearly).
3. Indeed correlation is only able to spot linear dependencies between variables. For nonlinear dependencies, one can consider an order-based version of the correlation, known as rank correlation that correlates ranks instead of values. This approach is still not suitable for detecting non monotonuous relationships (as is x->x^2 over a domain centered on zero). Then, mutual information can be used, but it is much more difficult to estimated than correlation.
4. Damien has answered that question to an extent. Spearman’s Rank Correlation is a way out of measuring correlation in monotonic relationships.
And to add, it depends on the two variables in question, whether Pearson’s Correlation, described by Sandro, will give good results.
For example, if you are talking about 2 non-continuous variables, the story changes and needs either a Chi-square, Chi-square, or a point-biserial correlationPoint-Biserial Correlation,
5. Hi,
I am using pearson correlation for a movie rank prediction problem. What I am wondering about is will I get good results even if there is no linear relationship between users who rank movies.
Pushkar Raste
6. In credit scoring, information value is routinely used in univariate analysis.
Another popular approach is to look at both Spearman’s rank correlation and Hoeffding’s measure of dependence.
7. So I have two text files with some educational content. What would it signify to find the degree of correlation between the two text file?

Lipoprotein structure (chylomicron)
Scope [edit]
Transmembrane lipoproteins [edit]
Plasma lipoprotein particles [edit]
The scope of lipoprotein particles is to transport triacylglycerols and cholesterol in the blood between all the tissues of the body. The most outstanding once being the liver, the adipocytes of the adipose tissue. Particles are created in the intestinum tenue and the liver, but interestingly not in the adipocytes.
The interaction of the proteins forming the surface of the particles (a) with enzymes in the blood, (b) with each other, and (c) with specific proteins on the surfaces of cells determine whether triglycerides and cholesterol will be added to or removed from the lipoprotein transport particles.
Function [edit]
The handling of lipoprotein particles in the body is referred to as lipoprotein particle metabolism. It is divided into two pathways, exogenous and endogenous, depending in large part on whether the lipoprotein partciles in question are composed chiefly of dietary (exogenous) lipids or whether they originated in the liver (endogenous), through de novo synthesis of triacylglycerols.
The hepatocytes are the main platform for the handling of TGs and cholesterol; the liver can also store certain amounts of glycogen and triacylglycerols. Intriguingly, adipocytes, though being the main storage cells for triacylglycerols, do not produce any kind of lipoprotein particle.
Exogenous pathway [edit]
Bile emulsifies fats contained in the chyme, then pancreatic lipase cleaves molecules into fatty acids and monoglycerol. Enterocytes readily absorb this molecules from the chymus. Inside of the enterocytes, fatty acids and monoglycerides are transformed again into triacylglycerols. Then these lipids (i.e. triacylglycerols, phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters) are assembled with apolipoprotein B-48 into nascent chylomicrons. These particles are then secreted into the lacteals in a process that depends heavily on apolipoprotein B-48. As they circulate through the lymphatic vessels, nascent chylomicrons bypass the liver circulation and are drained via the thoracic duct into the bloodstream.
In the blood stream, nascent chylomicron particles bump with HDL particles; as a result, HDL particles donate apolipoprotein C-II and apolipoprotein E to the nascent chylomicron; the chylomicron is now considered mature. Via apolipoprotein C-II, mature chylomicrons activate lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme on endothelial cells lining the blood vessels. LPL catalyzes the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol (i.e., glycerol covalently joined to three fatty acids) that ultimately releases glycerol and fatty acids from the chylomicrons. Glycerol and fatty acids can then be absorbed in peripheral tissues, especially adipose and muscle, for energy and storage.
Endogenous pathway [edit]
The liver is the central platform for the handling of lipids: it is able to store glycerols and fats in its cells, the hepatocytes. Hepatocytes are also able to create triacylglycerols via de novo synthesis. And the also produce the bile from cholesterol.
In the hepatocytes, triacylglycerols, cholesterol cholesteryl esters are assembled with apolipoprotein B-100 to form nascent VLDL particles. Nascent VLDL particles are released into the bloodstream via a process that depends upon apolipoprotein B-100.
Classification [edit]
By density [edit]
& cholesterol ester
>1.063 HDL 5–15 33 30 29 4
1.019–1.063 LDL 18–28 25 50 21 8
1.006–1.019 IDL 25–50 18 29 22 31
0.95–1.006 VLDL 30–80 10 22 18 50
<0.95 Chylomicrons 100-1000 <2 8 7 84
Alpha and beta [edit]
Lipoprotein(a) [edit]
< 14 mg/dL : Normal
14-19 mg/dL : ?
> 19 mg/dL : High risk
Studies [edit]
Atherosclerosis is the number one mortality cause in the western hemisphere, and since the 1980s, a lot of studies have been conducted to look for correlations between the incidence of the disease and plasma lipoprotein particle concentrations in the blood. Hypothesis exist for possible causations. Studies showed correlation between atherosclerosis and concentrations of particles. Further studies looked for correlations between nutrition and concentration of the distinguishable lipoprotein particles, e.g. whether the ratio of dietary fat raises or lowers levels of LDL particles. Studies showed that different phenotypes regarding the amount of particles and reaction to diet composition do exist.

CompTIA A+ exam will have to be renewed separately. Passing your 70-687/688 from Microsoft will give you another certification but does not renew the CompTIA A+ exam.
If you were though to have also earned the CompTIA Network+ or CompTIA Security+, then by earning those they do renew the CompTIA A+ certification too.
This is because of who the certification authority is. Microsoft is a Vendor, they choose what to do. Even if Microsoft were to recommend that earning the MCSA in Windows 8 SHOULD renew the A+, it doesn't mean that CompTIA another certification authority will do so. So each certification authority tend to do what they choose.

Learning Detectors of Malicious Network Traffic
Originally Appeared at Cisco Blog
Threat Research
Learning Detectors of Malicious Network Traffic
Malware is constantly evolving and changing. One way to identify malware is by analyzing the communication that the malware performs on the network. Using machine learning, these traffic patterns can be utilized to identify malicious software. Machine learning faces two obstacles: obtaining a sufficient training set of malicious and normal traffic and retraining the system as malware evolves. This post will analyze an approach that overcomes these obstacles by developing a detector that utilizes domains (easily obtained from domain black lists, security reports, and sandboxing analysis) to train the system which can then be used to analyze more detailed proxy logs using statistical and machine learning techniques.
The network traffic analysis relies on extracting communication patterns from HTTP proxy logs (flows) that are distinctive for malware. Behavioral techniques compute features from the proxy log fields and build a detector that generalizes to the particular malware family exhibiting the targeted behavior.
The statistical features calculated from flows of malware samples are used to train a classifier of malicious traffic. This way, the classifier generalizes the information present in the flows and features and learns to recognize a malware behavior. We use features describing URL structures (such as URL length, decomposition, or character distribution), number of bytes transferred from server to client and vice versa, user agent, HTTP status, MIME type, port, etc. In our experimental evaluation, we used 305 features in total for each flow.
The first conceptual problem in using the standard supervised machine learning methods is the lack of sufficiently representative training set containing examples of malicious and legitimate communication. Providing security intelligence on individual proxy logs is expensive and does not scale with constantly evolving malware. The second problem is that the trained classifier is heavily dependent on the samples used in the training. Once a malware changes the behavior, the system needs to be retrained. With continuously rising number of malware variants, this becomes a major bottleneck in modern malware detection systems.
Both problems are addressed by considering groups of flows (also called bags). The bags are constructed for each user (or source IP) and contain all network communication with a particular hostname for a specific period of time.
Multiple Instance Learning
The robustness of the learned malicious flow detector directly depends on using a representative training set. Labeling individual flows in large quantities is difficult but the labels of domains can be easily obtained by leveraging internet domain black lists, security reports, and sandboxing analysis. Assigning labels based on the domains instead of the richer proxy logs with full target website URLs results in weak supervision in training: it is not known which flows in a positive bag are malicious and which are legitimate. The key advantage of this approach is that the requirements on the labeled samples (and their accuracy) are lower. This way, the system can train a detector that operates on individual proxy-logs while the training uses only domains to indicate malicious or legitimate traffic. Since the labeling is at the level of domains while the system trains a proxy log classifier, it can happen that some proxy logs in the positive bags (labeled positive based on the domain) can be negative (legitimate). The training algorithm correctly handles such cases.
The problem is formulated as weakly supervised learning since the bag labels are used to train a classifier of individual flows. We propose an algorithm based on the Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) that seeks for the Neyman-Pearson detector with a very low false positive rate that is necessary in the deployment of the system. The approach is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: (1) Flows from the training set are associated with either malicious or legitimate traffic. This fact is illustrated by a plus or a minus sign, for a malicious or a legitimate flow respectively. Unfortunately, such information is hard to obtain and is often not available for training. Therefore, a third party feeds or blacklists are used to label the training data. These lists are mostly domain-based and introduce mistakes in labeling (2), resulting in poor performance of classifiers trained on such mislabeled data, as shown in (3). Our solution uses blacklists and feeds to create weak labels of bags (4). A bag is labeled as positive if at least one flow included in the bag is labeled as positive. Otherwise, the bag is labeled as negative. An example of a bag is a set of flows with the same user and domain. The MIL classifier learns a flow-level model based on weak labels from the bags and optimizes the decision boundary, which results in better separation of malicious and legitimate flows (5) and thus higher efficacy.
Learning of the Neyman-Pearson detector is formulated as an optimization problem with two terms: false negatives are minimized while choosing a detector with prescribed and guaranteed (very low) false positive rate. False negatives and false positives are approximated by empirical estimates computed from the weakly annotated data. The hypothesis space of the detector is composed of a linear decision rules parameterized by a weight vector and an offset. The described Neyman-Pearson learning is a modification of the Multi-Instance Support Vector Machines (mi-SVM) algorithm. The mi-SVM treats the flow labels as unobserved hidden variables subject to constraints defined by their bag labels. The goal is to maximize the instance margin jointly over the unknown instance labels and a linear discriminant function.
Our evaluation of the detectors uses datasets that represent 14 days of real network traffic of a large international company (80,000 seats). The MIL detector is compared to the SVM detector learned by considering all instances in the malicious bags to be positive and instances in the legitimate bags to be negative. The Figure 2 presents results obtained on the first 150 test flows with the highest decision score computed by both detectors. The flows were automatically selected from a dataset of 10M test flows.
Figure 2: The left figure shows the number of true positives and the right figure the precision of the detectors as a function of the number of detected flows. We also show results for a baseline detector selecting the flows randomly.
The MIL detector takes advantage of large databases of weak annotations (such as security feeds). Since the databases are updated frequently, the detectors are also retrained to maintain the highest accuracy. The training procedure relies on generic features and therefore generalizes the malware behavior from the training samples. As such the detectors find malicious traffic not present in the intelligence databases (marked by the feeds). The algorithm results in a general system that can recognize malicious traffic by learning from weak annotations.
Adapting to Malware Behavior Changes
Next, we focus on the problem of detecting variants of malicious behaviors. The detector uses a new representation of bags computed from sample feature values. The representation is designed to be invariant under shifting and scaling of the feature values and under permutation and size changes of the bags. In the context of malware, it means that any change in the number of flows of an attack (size invariance) or in the ordering of flows (permutation invariance) will not help evade the detection. Shift and scale invariance ensures that any internal variations of malware behavior as described by a predefined set of features will not change the representation. This means that new and unseen malware variants are represented with similar feature vectors as existing known malware, which greatly facilitates the detection of new or modified malicious behaviors. The ability to detect malware variants directly improves the system efficacy. The steps for creating the representation are described in Figure 3.
Figure 3: (1) Each bag is initially represented as a set of flow-based feature vectors. Bags with less than 5 flows are not processed. The representation is then transformed to be invariant against specific malware variations. (2) Shift invariance is ensured by computing a self-similarity matrix for each feature and all flows in a bag. The element (i,j) of this symmetric positive semi-definite matrix corresponds to the distance between the feature value of the flows i and j. This transforms each bag into a set of self-similarity matrices, one for each feature. Scale invariance is achieved by normalizing all values in each self-similarity matrix onto interval (0,1). (3) Size and permutation invariance is ensured by creating a histogram of all elements in each normalized self-similarity matrix. (4) All histograms for each bag are concatenated to form the final bag representation.
Experimental Evaluation
We have done experiments with datasets containing 5 malware categories: malware with command & control channels (marked as C&C), malware with domain generation algorithm (marked as DGA), DGA exfiltration, click fraud, and trojans. The rest of the background traffic is considered as legitimate. The number of flows and bags in each category is given in Table 1.
Table 1: Number of flows and bags of malware categories and background traffic.
The effectiveness of self-similarity matrix capturing malware variations is shown by comparing the results to the case where the histograms are obtained directly from the flow-based feature values (i.e. without computing the self-similarity matrices). Two-class SVM classifier was trained using both representations. The training set consisted of click fraud positive bags and 5977 legitimate negative bags. The testing set consisted of bags from C&C and DGA malware, DGA exfiltration, trojans, and 8000 negative background bags. The results are summarized in Table 2 and compared flow level signature-based blocks in Figure 4.
Table 2: Summary of the SVM results from the baseline and the invariant representation. Both classifiers have comparable results on the training set, however, the SVM classifier using the new invariant self-similarity representation achieved better performance on the test data.
Figure 4: Analysis of false negatives (number of missed malware samples) and true positives (number of detected malware samples) for flow level blocks (e.g. Cloud Web Security) and SVM classifier based on two types of representations: histograms computed directly from feature vectors, and the new self-similarity histograms. Thanks to the self-similarity representation, SVM classifier was able to correctly classify all DGA exfiltration, trojan, and most of DGA malware bags, with a small increase of false negatives for C&C. Overall, the new representation shows significant improvements when compared to flow level blocks, and better robustness than the approach without the self-similarity.
In the next experiment, the representation is used in a clustering to group malware belonging to the same category. This analysis shows how changing malware parameters influences similarity of samples, i.e. whether a modified malware sample is still considered to be similar to other malware samples of the same category. Two malware categories were included in the training set (click fraud and C&C) together with 5000 negative bags. The result is in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Graphical illustration of the clustering results, where the input bags were represented with the new invariant representation. Legitimate bags are concentrated in three large clusters on the top and in a group of non-clustered bags located in the center. Malicious bags were clustered into six clusters.
We have shown how to use bags of flows to represent communication of malware samples. The bags can be used to train a classifier of malicious flows by computing statistical feature vectors of the flows in a bag and labeling the bags by feeds and other security intelligence. This has the advantage that the labels of individual flows do not need to be provided which makes the labeling process tractable. The MIL algorithm used in the detector training minimizes a weighted sum of errors made by the detector on the negative and the positive bags. The trained flow-based classifier has better performance than a classifier trained from individual flows without forming the bags. The entire bags can also be classified by computing a new representation that leverages all flows in a bag to capture malware dynamics and behavior in time. The representation is robust to malware variations attempting to evade detection (e.g. by changing the URL pattern, number of transferred bytes, user agent, etc.). The invariant representation is based on the idea that malicious flows in a bag will have different statistical properties than legitimate flows in another bag. This richer information makes it possible to improve the efficacy of learning-based detectors.
The technology is integrated into Cisco CWS Premium product (Cognitive Threat Analytics).

Nikol Pashinyan Interviewed by Italy’s Biggest Newspaper: Il Corriere Della Sera
By Emilio Luciano Cricchio
During Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s official visit to Italy, the Armenian PM was interviewed by Italian newspaper “Il Corriere della Sera,” Italy’s most circulated and popular newspaper.
Between the 20th- 22nd of November, Pashinyan embarked on an official visit to Italy, visiting the cities of Venice, Milan and Rome. He met representatives of the Armenian community in Italy, the President of the Italian Trade Agency, Carlo Ferro, President of the Italian Senate, Maria Elisabetta Casellati, and the Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte.
Pashinyan was asked a number of questions on numerous topics including, Syria, the Armenian Genocide recognition resolution in the US House of Representatives, the conflict with Azerbaijan and relations with Turkey.
When asked whether the PM is willing to establish relations with Ankara, Pashinyan responded that Armenia is “ready to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey without any preconditions.” Furthermore, that Armenia doesn’t see “recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a precondition for relations with Turkey.”
He also commented on the passage of the resolution in the US House of Representatives recognizing the events of 1915 as “genocide.”
The PM stated: “It is very, very important. It helps to prevent possible future genocides,” and that this decision can “change the atmosphere in our region.” Pashinyan emphasized the importance of this decision, and how this was a “message,” that showed “aggressive policies will not be accepted by the international community.”
Pashinyan continued that, “Turkey is still perceived by Armenians as a possible threat to our security,” and remarked that though the border with Turkey is closed, “(the border) has been closed, but only from the Turkish side, not the Armenian side.”
The discussion then turned to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The interviewer asked about the “aggression of Armenia towards Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh.” To which, Pashinyan spoke of the murder of Gurgen Margarian during a NATO seminar in Budapest, who was killed with an axe by Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani military officer. Pashinyan reminded the interviewer that: “A few years after he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary, the Azeri officer was extradited to his country. In his homeland he was accepted as a national hero, received a pardon from President Ilham Aliyev, was promoted and secured an apartment in Baku.”
The interviewer then posed a question of conflict resolution to Pashinyan, stating that there is a divergence of assessments of history and other matters by Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Pashinyan stated he wants a solution that is: “acceptable to the people of Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.” He stated he was the first Armenian leader to take a new approach like this and that he received “heavy criticism,” for considering also the interests of Azerbaijani people in his formula.
Pashinyan continued that: “(he hoped Azerbaijani) President Aliyev would make statements similar to mine, I’ve been waiting for over a year, and haven’t heard (anything).” He added that European partners, and the OSCE Minsk group, a group tasked with solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, should encourage the Azerbaijani government to adopt this approach.
Finally, when asked about Azerbaijan being a key energy partner of Italy and whether this would impact Armenia- Italy relations, the Armenian PM responded that, “We have good enough relationships (with Italy) and we hope to make them even better.” He also added that Azerbaijan is a supplier of gas and oil, and that looking to the future would mean recognizing that “the word “energy” is changing rapidly,” adding that renewable energy is the direction of the future, with solar power perhaps being the main energy supplier in Italy one day.

Log for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Why did you do that if you weren’t asked to? Improving performance means doing just the minimum tasks. As stated in “Performance” section, http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html , we’d better check if we need creating tonns of strings in java. So
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(“Create” + “this” + message + “string”);
prevents creating unneeded debug/trace strings.

How to use Google Sheets to get the price of specific crypto-currencies at specific times?
I have an assortment of cryptocurrency transactions over time. Different currency pairs at different prices. I must determine the price of these currencies, in Bitcoin, when I bought them.
The manual solution is to look for a historical price graph of each pair (ETH / BTC, LTC / BTC, XRP / BTC, etc.) at the time of purchase and to record it. But it goes without saying that this process is extremely tedious and tedious.
I already have the date and time of each purchase, with the currency purchased and the amount, in a spreadsheet. I would like to be able to extract the final data that I need from an API, directly in my sheet.
I had something similar using but it returns only the value of BTC in USD. I need to get the value of other currencies in BTC.

Budd Lake Woman Turns to Art to Help Animals in Australia
Budd Lake Woman Turns to Art to Help Animals in Australia
By Dawn M. Chiossi
When Budd Lake artist and animal lover Tina Bernabe-Reyes heard about the countless animals perishing in the recent wildfires plaguing Australia, she was not only deeply troubled but energized to help.
“I kept watching the news about the awful fires in Australia and when I saw the injured koala’s trying to escape… it broke my heart,” Reyes says. “Images of kangaroos fleeing for their lives was a lot to take in. So many needed care to hopefully return to the wild again.”
She immediately thought of Wildlife Warriors, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and championing animals.
“My son loved watching Steve Irwin growing up and they have done so much for wildlife over the years,” she shares. “Now these terrible wildfires over there…. what better way to give back. They are an inspiring group of people,” Reyes enthuses.
Turning to her artistic talents and passion for art, Reyes decided to sell her work on eBay as a kind of raffle to raise funds for Wildlife Warriors and animal protection. Ultimately, she decided to transfer her efforts to GoFundMe instead when she had no response with eBay.
In just a matter of weeks, she created a unique drawing done in pastels of one of Australia’s signature animals–the kangaroo. Fully framed and matted, Reyes calls her creation “Wattle” after Australia’s national flower.
Reyes’ drawing captures the realistic and emotional mood of these animals. This 9×12 picture of Wattle is bordered in a 16×20 inch frame.
50% of all proceeds from the money raised from her prints will go to the Wildlife Warriors. Reyes explains that since she plans to continue in her quest to help these animals, the other 50% of monies raised will go towards art materials so she can create another drawing for another raffle.
So far, in the time that “Wattle” has been on GoFundMe, the drawing has raised approximately $120 of Reyes’ $500 goal.
Reyes discloses that she discovered her passion for art during her childhood. “Most of my childhood was spent at Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia because I was born with multiple disabilities. Being in the hospital for a week to maybe a month at a time I just started drawing to pass the time,” she shares.
Studying art, entering contests, even selling pieces, Reyes explains that she has explored all mediums of art in its various forms, but it’s pictures of animals that she enjoys creating the most. “It’s when people wanted me to draw their dogs because they passed away is where I thought I could bring a smile back to their faces,” she says.
It was a sentiment that she tries to capture in all of her artwork. Reyes explains that she had been inspired to create “Wattle” upon seeing other artist’s drawings of Koala Bears in their own efforts to raise money for this worthwhile cause.
She decided to go her own way, drawing a kangaroo.
In this donation with a twist event, Reyes explains that for every person that donates, their names will be entered in a random name generator to win this drawing.
I hope a lot of the animals will get the care they need and rebuild some of the habitats that were lost,” Reyes asserts.
When asked if she plans to do more for charities, the answer was a resounding yes.
“I’m planning to draw more wildlife and sell prints to which I’ll donate part of those to different charities here as well and around the world, every little bit helps. I just hope that people will buy my prints and pay it forward. I just love drawing and if I can create something that people love and give a little back, why not?”
Founded in 2002 by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and his wife Terri, Wildlife Warriors seeks to include and involve caring people to support the protection of injured, threatened or endangered wildlife. The organization not only seeks to protect individual animals but also entire species of them.

But what if you wanted to run your own mail services?
Sure, you could use something like forever but what if you want things as self contained as possible?
It’s very ugly and breaks stdio, but it works!
var cluster = require('cluster');
var _ = require('underscore');
var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
if(cluster.isMaster) {
//var cluster_args =
var runningragnarok = false;
var msghandler = function(msg) {
if(msg === 'rebirth') {
_.each(cluster.workers, function(v) {
if(msg === 'ragnarok' && runningragnarok === false) {
runningragnarok = true;
var nargs = process.argv;
nargs.splice.apply(nargs, [1, 0].concat(process.execArgv));
if(!_.contains(process.argv, '--regnarok')) {
_.each(cluster.workers, function(w) { w.kill(); });
spawn(nargs[0], nargs.slice(1), {detached: true, stdio: ['ignore', 'ignore', 'ignore']});
if(msg === 'heatdeath') {
cluster.on('exit', function() { if(runningragnarok) return; cluster.fork().on('message', msghandler); });
setTimeout(function() {
_.each([1,2,3,4,5], function() {
var f = cluster.fork()
f.on('message', msghandler);
}, 5000);
//_.find(process.argv, function(v, i, a) { return i > 0 && a[i-1] === '--ragnarok'; }) || 5000
As with all things, I was in need of a solution. The problem was that multiple object prototypes were needing to be mixed together into one. No npm package I found seemed to do the trick for me in the way I wanted and needed things to work. So of course I reinvented the wheel and made multiinherits.
The main reason for this is that I wanted a way to specify what super constructor to call.
Something I’ve been toying with is a tip and trick, but mostly horrible hacking away and over-thinking things blog series highlighting the stupid things I do. These things will likely come from stuff for my work or simply curiosity.
Without further ado, here’s #1.
A couple a weeks ago, I needed to migrate a web server and test the sites before going live. Due to a variety of constraints, editing the hosts file, using something like DNShifter or editing the hostname for the vhosts was out of the question. What is a guy to do? Thinking over the problem I figured node.js would be the quickest route to write a testing routine with.
The first problem and probably the biggest was to construct the http request in such a way that I would connect to a different host than the hostname would otherwise send me to. Looking at the node.js code on github made me think it was going to be a piece of cake, just a couple additions to the /lib http files would allow me to specify the actual host to connect with.
//around /lib/http.js:1425
else if(options.connection) {
This allowed me to use a specific socket made by net.createConnection. However, this is clunky and I’d have to maintain a copy of the mainline http with this and all the other necessary code changes. Obviously this is more work in the long run and my future self is lazy.
Thankfully the folks who wrote the http module decided to check if the options object for http.request() has “createConnection” defined and then uses that to initiate the TCP stream. This makes the task so much easier and should work for the foreseeable future.
var url = require().parse("http://example.com/");
url.createConnection = require('net').createConnection.bind(null, 80, "snoj.us");
require('http').request(url, function(res) {
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
And of course since drafting all this drivel I find that wget (starting with 1.10), Invoke-WebRequest, and node.js allow the Host header to be specified and each works excellently. However, I still like this technique as it allows you to leave the original URL in place while forcing a connection to another server. Using custom headers means editing the URL which may or may not be doable in some situations and calls for more code changes to accomplish the same end.
Last year during a men’s retreat weekend my church put on, we men were challenged to come up with a “Family Charter”, a document of rules and regulations concerning interpersonal interactions. You could look at it as something akin to The Constitution for Minnesota, the U.S.A or any organization. Though I’m not too keen on having a charter for several reasons that are another post, one thing did stick out to me, the family motto.
So I started digging into my family background to see if there was anything I could revive or use for inspiration. thus far, I’ve only come across one I might have claim to.
From the old maternal side I found, “Nil sine numine” or “Nothing without God”. Quite spine tingling if you ask me, invoking the idea that nothing is possible without God’s hand or blessing and reminding us of his sovereignty.
As far as I am aware, my paternal family descends from common farming folk. I’ll have to dig around more on that side.
The Bond family has a neat one as well, “The world is not enough” (“Orbis non sufficit”). Which is an actual family and crest. I had always assumed it was the realm of fiction. At any rate, I had thought it a motto with gravitas, proclaiming that there is something better, something that this world cannot satisfy. Or perhaps, the price required to “buy one off” would be more than the world.
Other ideas being toyed with:
• To the sky/ad caelum
• Seek the Lord/Quaerite Dominum
• With strength, comes peace/cum virtute, fit cum pace
ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(full)
It’s getting official, we’re moving to the country. It’s something that the mrs and I have been thinking of doing, mostly in a “sometime-in-the-future” way, several years from now and the earliest.
Then earlier this year we found ourselves a piece of land for sale about 20-30 minutes away from our current home that we could not say no to. (Intra-family deal.) Now after a month or so of unknown timelines, we have some concrete dates for moving. Which do not easily jive with other dates like when newbie is coming or snow melting. I hate moving with snow on the ground.
Why move to the country? Won’t I miss the high-speed internet offerings? Well, yes, I will. 30Mb+ internet down speed is really, really nice, but there are some other reasons I’ve had my eye on the country side.
During my childhood, we’d go visit relatives in California for a week or a month at a time. I loved the time there with my cousins and just being in California. There were several reasons we were able to do this, one of which was that my Aunt and Uncle had a large enough house that we could comfortably stay with them. To be able to do the same thing for my friends and family is something I’ve wanted to do as well.
We’ve wanted to have a garden for a couple years, but our home so far have either been rentals and the land lords prohibited it or the lot was too small. Though our last lot probably could have had a small one if we did some terracing. Our (well more my goal) is to eventually have the garden offset store bought veggies to such a degree that we’re only buying if much spoils or we’re needing extra for a feast.
There’s a chicken coup that we’re hoping to make use this summer. Our little family can go though a couple dozen eggs a week easily when only accounting for breakfast. So even just over a half dozen chickens should keep up with our weekly demand for eggs. Meat though is another matter. Thinking of all the times we have just chicken breast, wings, or legs, we’d have to have a lot of chickens to satisfy that want.
I love a good fire with friends on a brisk fall night or the warm glow of a fireplace. While we have “room” at our current digs, I’m looking forward to the additional space to have a pit instead of a portable steel bowl. We’re also looking at using wood to offset fuel oil use down the road. This will mean a lot of wood chopping.
I love being a dad.

What Type of Life Insurance Policy Should You Get
The primary purpose for getting life insurance will always be to protect the people you care about in case something were to happen to you. How much capital would you need in order to pay off debts, support your loved ones, or to take care of all your affairs?
What Type Of Life Insurance
Term Insurance Benefits
Term insurance is less expensive than whole life insurance, because you are renting the insurance. Your coverage is considered pure insurance in this case, because it doesn’t develop cash value or participate in company dividends.
How Long Should You Lock In Your Premiums
Level Term Insurance
I always recommend getting a level-term policy as opposed to one that will start off lower and increase premiums each and every year. The level term policies allow you to lock in your age and health for the remainder of the term, whereas the increasing-premium policies become more expensive every year based on your new age.
Because term insurance is a less expensive way to get the right amount of protection, I believe that it is the right choice for a large majority of people looking at life insurance.
Cash Value Life Insurance: When To Consider It
First A Word Of Caution About How The Life Insurance Industry Operates
An agent who pushes one company above the others is doing his or her clients a disservice. Every company has its positives and negatives and each company has focused on certain demographics to try to create a competitive edge. There are 17 life insurance companies in the fortune 500 alone. These companies have very similar investment portfolios and conduct business in ways that are more common than not. Eight of these companies are mutual, nine are stock companies, and they all operate in order to make a profit. The most important thing that anybody can do is to have an agent who can help them shop the market for the company that is going to fit their needs best. Somebody that is a smoker with high blood pressure is going to have better options outside of the companies that target nonsmokers without health conditions. Finding the least expensive company on the market for your age and health can save you thousands of dollars.
I used to work for an insurance agency where we only sold a single triple-A-rated-insurance company. When I worked for this agency, my fellow agents and I were especially inculcated with the benefits of this company’s whole life insurance. This situation is not unique.
Captive agencies have managers that groom agents to push one company because they get paid commissions when their agents sell these products. Please don’t assume that life insurance agents are experts on the benefits of different companies and types of insurance plans, because many of them are unaware of the benefits beyond their own company. Instead of consulting their clients and shopping the market they push a single product that doesn’t always match up well. There are far too many people being given advice from agents to consider whole life insurance, because they are trained to present the same products to every client.
If you sit down with an agent who goes over a list of benefits about a single insurance company, keep in mind that most benefits are really trade-offs. For instance, if a company is a triple-A rated insurance company than they are probably also more conservative with whom they insure. A triple-A rating is great, but it is really only necessary if you plan on participating in the companies dividends, or in other words buying their whole life insurance. There is no need to pay extra money for the privilege of having a triple-A rated company as many agents insist. A.M. Best considers a company with an A-rating to be in excellent financial health and there are many A-rated companies with less expensive insurance offers if you are not planning on participating in whole life.
When Whole Life Insurance is a Good Idea
For some people, whole life insurance can be a great complement to their financial security. I have sold whole life insurance based on the following benefits.
1) It has a guaranteed return that will consistently build up the cash value in the policy.
2) It gives policyholders permanent insurance so that they are insured throughout their lifetime.
3) It allows them to stop paying premiums after a certain number of years, because the dividends from the company will be enough to keep the policy in force.
4) It allows policyholders to take cash from the policy in the form of a loan, so that you have another option if liquidity is needed.
5) The growth of the policy is tax deferred and tax-free as long as long as the policy is kept in force.
The problem can be that many of these benefits point to life insurance as an asset or investment. Life insurance should always be considered for the death benefit first and foremost. If you have already maxed out both your Roth Ira and 401(k), have at least three months of expenses in accessible savings, and are looking for something else to build up savings then whole-life insurance can be a good option. The point is that whole life insurance is a good choice when you have the ability to max out your qualified retirement funds and are looking to complement your savings with a conservative tie in to your life insurance.
Whole life can be a mistake for a couple of reasons
There are risks when putting your money into whole life insurance. The risks aren’t always clearly explained, because the agents focus on the guaranteed dividends that will grow the cash value every year. However, one significant risk is buying into whole-life insurance, paying the premiums for a number of years, and then not being able to keep up with the premiums down the road. Life insurance companies bank on this happening to a certain percentage of policyholders.
If this occurs you are in danger of losing thousands of dollars in paid premiums without the benefit of accumulating any cash value. When a policy lapses or you can’t keep up with whole life premiums then the insurance company will retain your premiums without you having any cash value built up or any insurance in force.
These whole life polices are structured to have large front end expenses and it will take at least a couple of years before your premiums start to build up cash value. It takes about ten years before the amount of premiums you put into the policy will equal the cash value in the policy.
How Cash Value In Whole Life Insurance Works
The other risk with whole life insurance is not understanding how the cash value in the policy works and taking out too much of it. The cash value in the policy is liquid, but the insurance company will let you take out about 97% of it in order to protect against the policy lapsing. Any cash that is taken out of the policy is loaned from the policy at interest.
Lets assume that you are in the first 20 years of your whole life policy and are taking a loan from the cash value in the policy. The loaned interest rate is 8.0 %, the non-loaned dividend interest rate is 6.85%, and the loaned-dividend interest is rate is 7.9 %. Notice that the insurance company steps up the interest rate on the loaned amount or the amount borrowed from your cash value. This mitigates the cost of the loan, but the loan still creates an ongoing obligation to pay interest. For instance the cost of borrowing here would be 6.95 %.
(The loaned interest rate (8.0 %) + (the non-loaned dividend interest rate (6.85%) – the loaned-dividend interest rate (7.9%)) = cost of borrowing (6.95%).
The cash value in the policy is really a double-edged sword, because it leads to a significant risk that you will not be able to keep up with the premiums. It is practically intended for people who can repay the loan quickly so that the policy continues to develop dividends instead of an obligation to pay interest. It is great for people who aren’t ever tempted to borrow from the policy, because the dividends will compound and eventually be able to cover the cost of annual premiums. When this occurs the risk of lapsing will be negligible. However, this takes quite some time to achieve and it truly depends on how disciplined you can afford to be with the additional cost of these premiums. If you would rather have control of your money up front there is an argument that you can buy term and invest the rest instead of leveraging the insurance companies general fund.
Your Personality Profile And Budget Must Be In Line
I recommend taking a look at both your budget and how much control you want over your money for at least the next ten years if you are considering whole life. Because term insurance can now permanently lock in your age and health in the same manner as whole life insurance, the biggest question is whether or not you want control over investing the difference in premiums. Many people prefer whole life insurance because they don’t have to think about investing the difference; the insurance company does it for them. They can also grow their death benefit by the amount of growth in cash value and act as their own creditor if they ever want to borrow cash from the policy.
A Couple Other Points About Whole Life Insurance
The cash value component in a whole life insurance policy needs to be addressed. The first is that cash value is based on compounding dividends. So the longer you keep the paying premiums the more advantageous it is. The second is that if you go with a reliable insurance company they will usually pay non-guaranteed dividends that are based on the results of an insurance companies investments. This is when rating is important to consider, because you are now participating in these dividends. Also if you have allowed the cash value to grow and take out modest loans from the policy later in life, you will most likely have enough in dividends to keep pace beyond the ongoing obligation of interest. However if you do surrender the policy the gains will be taxed as capital gains and you will have to pay a surrender charge as well. If the policy is in force and you pass away while there are still outstanding loans, the death benefit will be paid out after it covers the cost of the loans that you have taken from the policy.
Term Insurance Vs. Whole Life
I believe the most important factor in all of this is the human element. If you are patient, conservative, and comfortably able to continue paying premiums without the temptation to borrow from the cash-value then you are a good candidate for whole life insurance. The majority of people have fluctuating budgets and circumstances where they are better off with something that locks in their age and health and gives them the opportunity to invest the difference elsewhere.

Contextualizing the Seriousness of this issue
June 22, 2009
I know that I said that I would discuss the normative implications of judicial behavior, but, in some respects, feel that a different topic is better suited.
Much of my research evaluates public opinion and how the Courts incorporate it into their decision-making process. The reason, simply put, is that the Court’s have established that there must exist an appearance or actuality of corruption in order to justify regulation of the ballot initiative process; this is particuarly stringent in the context of regulation of contributions to ballot initiatives (money is a form of speech which implicates First Amendment rights), and not to the same extent in the form of disclosure regulations (although current cases are starting to controvert this previously established research point).
Before I delve further into this topic, let me contextualize the dilemma caused by Court opinions which, possibly, is to the detriment of society. The United States Supreme Court has struck down regulation of ballot initiatives to such an extent that individuals are allowed to contribute unlimited amounts to particular ballot issues up for voting. In constrat, the United States Supreme Court allows for the regulation of contributions to individuals, candidates for public office. Overall, the Court’s logic is that there is not a singular person to be corrupted by the ballot initiative process like in a candidate election; the existence of a quid pro quo is not likely and, therefore, does not justify the Court allowing regulation of First Amendment rights to continue in the ballot initiative process. This decsion to which I refer demarcated the differences between ballot initiatives and candidate elections was made in the late 1970s. Notably, the Court did not delve into whether or not the public desired regulation of the ballot initiative process from the standpoint that corruption existed. Once this assumption was made, however, the political environment has changed. The Court did, however, lay out an exception in this seminal case in the 1970s; the government could regulate the ballot initiative process in the form of limiting contributions if, and only if, the appearance of corruption was shown to exist and the government’s regulation was narrowly tailored to satisfy that end.
During the course of my research, no case that involves regulation of individual contributions has been allowed. Furthermore, it is, unfortunately, less apparent what the court accepts in the form of evidence and regulation in the ballot initiative context. The amount of contributions to initiatives has skyrocketed, especially in comparision to money given to candidate elections; in California alone, the amount givern aggregately given to ballot initiatives was in the twenty million dollar range, but now is the mulitple hundreds of millions of dollars. In a given election, nearly $400 million was spent on ballot initiatives; this rivals, if not overwhelms, the amounts given to candidates for the U.S. Presidency.

Your blog is very impressive. It sounds like you’ve been finding an immense amount of useful research. Have you been using an “human” sources for your research, or have you only been utilizing readings? What got you interested in this topic? Do you have any specific ballot initiatives that you’re interested in?
• karlgiu said
Thanks for your comment, Katie. There is a human component to this research that, most likely, will be unable to be completed during the time frame of U.Discover. However, it will be included in the project as a whole. Because citizens determine the perception of corruption standard set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court, I will be using data from South Dakota to assess their perceptions of corruption.
I am using many readings. Although they are readings, they are, in fact, empirical studies. In social science research like mine, there is typically a normative and empirical component as well as a literature review. My hope is that my U.Discover project, by its end, will include the normative aspects and the literature review.
I got interested in this topic as I began working as a research assistant for Professor Braunstein, with whom I am currently working on this project. His prior and continued work on this subject drew me in as well as his readily apparent and extensive interest in the topic.
I do not have specific ballot initiatives that I am interested in per se. The 2006 South Dakota abortion initiative is part of my research but am not sure if it fits into this project. It will fit into my honors thesis, however. Truth be told, nearly all ballot initiatives interest me. The varied political actors involved and the manner in which ballot initiatives are conveyed to the public, each serve to feed my interest.
2. jbuttke said
It looks like your project is centered around federal regulation of ballot initiative contributions. I’m wondering if you’ve looked at any cases in South Dakota? It seems like there’s been a few cases that have received a lot of attention-even nationally- for contributions to ballot initiatives. (the abortion ban, namely) How does this case fit into your research? Does it support your overall finding thus far?
• karlgiu said
You are quite right in your observations of national movements and even controversy that is evident in the ballot initiative context. There is, however, much federal regulation of this area. Furthermore, this provides much of the impetus behind my research to review and empirically evaluate federal regulation, in particular, because it is such a major influence on states. Because of the constitutional rights at issue in the ballot initiative context, the federal government is the ruling force. Simply put, federal regulations tell the states what they can and cannot do in the initiative context. Accordingly, the federal regulations that I am researching directly impact the states and control the manner in which they can regulation ballot initiatives. For the above stated reasons, I focus on national regulation. It does not necessarily follow then that states are not of concern then.
All of this national level research will boil down to how it affects South Dakota. Once the standards set forth by the Courts are clear, I plan on testing their assertions with survey research from South Dakota. This will either substantiate their assertions or undercut them. Data from California will also be used, although in a different context–to test the differences between a high-use initiative state versus a low-use, South Dakota. This will further support or debunk current case law.
3. mlkreport said
I guess “high-use” is the polite term for what CA does! Being from the Marxist, Depressed State of California, I’m quite well aware of the influence of money on ballot initiatives. As far as I can tell, the person with the most money wins since the voters of CA prefer to vote based on which TV commercial for/against the ballot that they prefer instead of reading the free ballot guide provided by the state that tells the reader not only the text of the law, but the legal analysis of the law by the state AG.
Unfortunately, one’s reliance on TV versus reading what one is voting for/against is not a crime or corrupt. There really isn’t a reason that I’ve heard so far that would make me think there is any value in limiting or regulating the money that flows into ballot initiatives. Maybe regulating balanced, truthful commercials would be a plus.
CA has pretty low voter turnout generally. I think if there was no commercials for/against ballots, more people would stay home. They still wouldn’t read the pamphlet. Now, the elitist in me thinks this is a good idea, but people aren’t really served by staying home. I suppose they aren’t served by trusting ballot commercials either! I wonder if a case could be made that by using scare tactics or overemphasizing parts of the initiative while not mentioning other important parts of the initiative could constitute corruption? Everytime I’ve heard some pundit bring up the unbalanced commercials the ballot initiative people are always quick to say “The state sends out the full text to every registered voter”. I guess it keeps coming back to people not wanting to read that darn pamphlet!
• karlgiu said
Your point is interesting and well-taken, but misses the crux of what I am studying, although they are linked. I do not seek to establish corruption via the use of money in advertising, although a series of studies since the early 90s outline the pernicious effects of the influence of money in the ballot initiative context–these extend far beyond advertisements, unfortunately. Voter turnout, public confidence, and the increased use ballot initiative context are intertwined. The increased use of ballot initiatives in California has been shown to diminish voter confidence and even turnout.
My study of ballot initiatives is to determine if a perception of corruption exists and, further, if it is to a degree to warrant regulation in light of Court opinions. Regulation is a loose term. It could mean disclosure laws to limiting the amount of money given to a ballot issue campaign. I seek to play by the Courts rules for what constitutes an appearance of corruption. I want to know if the public supports the assumptions opined by the Courts. Ultimately, I seek to determine whether or not the Courts assumptions meet the empirical and normative reality of politics in the 21st century. In my conclusion, I might offer a normative analysis of what could be done to fix the problem. I like the idea of disclosure but, ultimately, it has to be what the citizenry wants as understood through survey analysis.
Case studies substantiate that corruption in the ballot initiative process exits, especially in California. Special interests are shown to have “high-jacked” the process. To contextualize this, consider the following: as a former California, you are quite familiar with the tactics of Gov. Schwarzenegger and his predecessor. You know from personal experience that the use of ballot initiatives has skyrocketed in California. Less known, however, is the underlying reasons for the spike in use. Researchers substantiate that political gain is achieved through the use of the ballot initiative process. Governors like Schwarzenegger success is contingent on the success in the ballot initiative context. This environment is ripe for corruption, especially for political elites to effectuate their desires. This process is even more desirable for political elites because no disclosure or limits on the amount of money exist in the ballot initiative context. The rich and powerful can contribute vast sums of money to ballot initiative campaigns that, ultimately, support candidates. This is referred to as “veiled political acting,” which intends to convey the significance of the politically powerful being capable of channeling their money and interests in a hidden manner. In no other context is this behavior considered acceptable or legal. Think of limits imposed on giving money to candidates running for office. Limits exists so that no one person can exert their influence more powerfully than their peers to the extent that it quells the influence of less powerful and wealthy individuals. This does flow over into the ballot initiative context. Certain interests may very well be considered over others due to the strong exertion of influence wielded by the politically elite.
There is a hydraulic quality of money in politics; political money, like water, must go somewhere. The political elite are quite apt in finding ways to effectuate their desires through monetary influence. At the time the Courts allowed for unlimited contributions in the ballot initiative context, money given to candidates was greatly limited. The timing was, certainly, unfortunate. It may have created a compounding effect of possible corruption in the ballot initiative context. Think of Darwinism here, not necessarily survival of the fittest, but adaptability. Studies prove that contributions and contributors evolved as well as the potential for corruption. If you are interested in this, especially in the California context, please read the collective works of Elizabeth Garrett, one of the foremost scholars in the country on this subject–quite fascinating, really! It might provide an intriguing empirical analysis for your experiences, which are unique.
• mlkreport said
I’ll definitely check out Elizabeth Garrett’s work. I know one thing that has been voiced a lot in CA is that people feel their vote does not matter because even when a well-funded ballot initiative is defeated, the losers sue in the courts and the item the people voted for remains not in effect while it winds through the court system for many years. This seems to happen with the most popular initiatives and the most controversial. The rather uneventful ones that didn’t have a flood of money behind them don’t seem to get tied up in court. People feel the courts are being abused by sore losers and their votes are ineffective on things that really matter. Here in South Dakota, I’ve noticed that people seem to feel, especially with the abortion issue, that there are ballot initiatives that just won’t go away and that they just rear up every two years no matter how many times the initiative is defeated. In your research, have you found that people feel that the process is corrupt or just frustrating?
4. usdneuro said
Karl, really interesting project. To clarify, you are looking at many ballot initiatives that have been ruled on by the US Supreme Court, evaluating the ruling’s implications nationally, and translate that to its implications on SD? Are you focusing on any ballot initiatives from SD that have been ruled on by the Supreme Court (are there enough cases?)? Thanks–Adam
• karlgiu said
I am evaluating the Courts opinions on the regulation of ballot initiatives. I am using them to outline their standards so that an empirical study can be conducted following those standards. South Dakota will be used to establish corruption in a low-use state and then will be offered along with research in California, a high-use state. This will offer a significant level of diversity of political contexts and desires. I cannot tell you what I have found on this medium, but I can tell you that it is certainly surprising. Find me after or before our meeting.
5. akzalud said
Your topic definitely sounds very well reasoned and thought out. I know almost nothing about your topic, so keep that in mind when you read my question! What is your intended outcome for the project once you’re satisfied with the findings?
• karlgiu said
I would love to have an “intended” outcome and suggest exactly what I think. The validity of my study would be greatly reduced as a result, however. I do not intend to be crass but, rather, to follow the researcher’s plug for question.
I, certainly, have feelings for what should be done and it is difficult to minimize them. I try to use my different hats, empirical and normative.
Normatively speaking, I believe that there is a strong desire for regulation to occur in some manner because I believe the values of government and the purpose of ballot initiatives are, otherwise, compromised. The empirical side is proving or disproving that along the guidelines set forth by the Court system.
6. B. F. Pons said
I am in the same boat as Amanda, I know only what you are talking about but know none of the specifics or general problems you are tackling. Since you seem to already have comprehensively researched this project, I am curious to what has been the biggest struggle during your research journey and how you have dealt/overcome that challenge.
B. F. Pons
• karlgiu said
Your question flows well to Amanda’s. The biggest struggle I face is ensuring that I minimize my beliefs and protect the validity and reliability of my study. Inserting my personal beliefs is irrelevant, unfortunately (Honors conditions us to speak our opinions, although this is not something foreign to me as you well know). My personal beliefs can be used for commentary in a discussion portion to a very limited extent. Really the only aspect of my self that I have allowed to be inserted is the assumptions which this research aims to test.
Organizing all of the various sources and the different topics is a struggle as well. I many different aspects that are to be included in this study which are difficult to conceptually organize.
7. evsociety09 said
I did a research project on this a couple years ago and am very interested to see what you find. It is indeed hard to believe that there is not corruption in ballot initiatives simply on the money that is plugged into it through shell companies that disappear after the vote. I cannot wait to see what you find and hope that you can shed some light on the issues of corruption in ballot initiatives. Good Luck!
8. usdneuro said
Karl–I am looking forward to your presentation on Tuesday. I think it will be really helpful to have the project explained, but from what I read it seems very interesting and ambitious.

Complex Working Memory (CWM)
Complex Working Memory (CWM) is a brain training exercise that improves working memory and fluid intelligence.
The current implementation is based on the task used for the study "Expanding the mind’s workspace" by Jason M. Cheyne and Alexandra B. Morrison.
In short, the study demonstrates the success in using the CWM task to improve working memory, cognitive control and understanding of what has been read.
The CWM exercise consists of the remembering rounds and the recall stage. The number of the rounds in an exercise equals to the current level of the CWM exercise.
Every round in the CWM exercise consists of two parts: the Decision making part at the beginning and the Remembering part at the end.
There are usually 4 Decision tasks in one round that are followed by an item to Remember. So, for example, it the exercise level is 5 you'll have to remember 5 items in total.
After all rounds passed there is a Recall stage where you have to recall all the remembered items.
There are two types of the CWM Span Task:
Spatial CWM
Verbal CWM
The Decision and Remembering/Recall parts of the exercise are different for each type.
Spatial CWM
On the Decision stage of the Spatial CWM you'll have to make a decision whether the displayed figure is symmetric on the Y axis. (Symmetric means its left part is its mirrored reflection of the right part)
Verbal CWM
On the Decision stage of the Verbal CWM you'll have to make a decision whether the displayed characters form the correct word.
If the word is spelled correctly press the Yes button (or correspondent key on the keyboard). If not - press No.
On the Remembering stage of the Verbal CWM you are shown the alphabet letter. Remember the letter on every round.
On the Recall stage you have to recall the letters in the order they appeared (by clicking the cells in the grid).
Mental Math
Mental Math is a brain game for testing / improving your mental skill calculations.
We do calculations in the mind and improve your attention, working memory and processing speed.
Exercises Corsi is the implementation of the Corsi Block-Tapping test.
Corsi Block-Tapping is a variant of the memory task. It was originally based on the Digit Span task, but unlike Digit Span, it requires the use of visuo-spatial memory.
The process of the Corsi block tapping task requires the subject to observe the sequence of blocks, and then repeat the sequence back in order. The task starts with a small number of blocks and gradually increases in length up. The test measures both the number of correct sequences and the longest sequence remembered.
This number is known as the Corsi Span, and averages about 5 for normal human subjects. An fMRI study involving subjects undergoing this test revealed that while the sequence length increases, general brain activity remains the same. So while humans may show encoding difficulty, this is not related to overall brain activation. Whether able to perform the task well or not the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex is highly involved. Corsi blocks tasks with a normal forward order requires support from the visuospatial skech pad, but not from the phonological loop. When the sequence to be recalled becomes longer than three or four items, central executive resources are used.
Fastest is a reaction rate test.
Knowing your reaction speed, it can always be compared with other people. This is necessary in order to properly organize their training. If suddenly the reaction rate began to fall, then urgently increase the number of exercises to improve the reaction speed. You may not notice how fast the reaction starts to fall. This often happens with many athletes. Look, a huge number of athletes performed with success, and then somehow slipped unnoticed to bad results. And no one can understand what happened. It seems that the physical form is good, but there are no results.

Suresnes American Cemetery
West of Paris, the Suresnes American Cemetery is the first to house the graves of soldiers from the two world wars. A real place of remembrance that spreads over 3 hectares.
1. What to see and do
2. Museums and monuments
3. Monuments
4. Suresnes American Cemetery
It was in 1919, on the occasion of Memorial Day, that the President of the United States, Thomas Woodrow Wilson** and the French Marshal Ferdinand Foch, inaugurated this military necropolis, whose land, located on the slopes of the Mont-Valérien, was then granted to the American nation. 1,541 American soldiers who died in the First World War and in the years that followed are buried there. In 1952, the bodies of 24 unknown soldiers who fell between 1939 and 1944 were added to the list of missing persons. Suresnes then became the only cemetery in Europe to associate the 2 World Wars.
Today, the victims rest for eternity side by side, without distinction of rank, race or religion. The rows of white Italian marble crosses and the vegetal decoration of the cemetery give it a very calm, serene and solemn atmosphere. In the shape of a "V", they converge towards the same point: the imposing chapel built in 1932, richly decorated, and dedicated to the memory of the two world conflicts.
A moving stroll not far from the heart of the capital.
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris, relive the history of the Second World War in Paris Region.

Florida mother intentionally drove herself and son into ocean, police say
Posted: 8:38 AM, Jun 21, 2018
Updated: 2018-06-22 11:37:03-04
LEE COUNTY, Fla. — A mother is facing several charges after deputies say she drove herself and her son into the ocean.
Deputies say it happened Tuesday afternoon along the A-span beach on the Sanibel Causeway when a mom intentionally drove her SUV into the water with her son still inside.
According to the arrest report, when deputies got there, they found 43-year-old Amarlyn Buccieri of Cape Coral in her Toyota RAV4, submerged in the water around 50 feet away from the shore.
The report indicates before that, Buccieri parked on the beach, stared at the water and suddenly floored the gas pedal.
Deputies say her son opened the door before they got too deep in the water so he could get out, and good Samaritans helped the boy to safety.
The report indicates his mother then tried to drag him back into the water, but people in the area rescued him a second time.
The mother has been arrested and is facing charges of child neglect, cruelty toward child and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Detectives are still investigating the motive.

#21 GFP Wild Type Axolotl with Starburst potential 6”
#21 GFP Wild Type Axolotl with Starburst potential 6”
These GFP wilds are all wearing golden sparkly crowns. They will continue to develop more and more sparkles as they grow and have the potential to be high iridophore/"Starburst". They are het copper and have a 66% chance of being het axanthic and/or melanoid. Their dad is a GFP high iridophore copper named Pickle and mom is a high iridophore wild type named Princess Leia. This selection is for the exact baby in the pictures. Hatched 1/1/21. *Please keep in mind that the GFP trait will become less visible in darker phenotypes as they grow and darken. I can not guarantee that these will be "Starburst" axolotls. It can take up to 18 months of age for full iridophore coverage to develop.
• Shipping
Please note that axolotls will not ship immediately after ordering due to time needed for fasting prior to shipping.
Axolotls CANNOT be shipped to the following states: California, Maine, New Jersey, Virginia, and Washington DC. Permits are required to ship to Hawaii and New Mexico. Please see more details regarding shipping policies in "The Fine Print" section, and contact me with any questions.

The goats are being moved to the Cascade Mountains, their native habitat. The state expects to relocate half the estimated 700 goats on the Olympic Peninsula. The remainder will be killed.
Share story
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Dangling from a rope beneath a helicopter and wearing blindfolds, the three mountain goats descended slowly from the air into the bed of a pickup truck. A flurry of people wearing medical gloves and helmets guided the goats and gently pinned them down.
Earlier, the wild animals had been shot with either a dart or a net fired from a gun. Then, a handler known as a mugger jumped from the helicopter, calmed the animals and attached them to a sling to fly from the park’s Bailey Range to Hurricane Ridge, where a crew of veterinarians and volunteers had gathered.
The goats are among the first to be removed from the mountain range as part of an effort to rid the Olympics of the nonnative ungulates that national park officials believe ruin park vegetation and pose a threat to visitors.
Dazed with sedative drugs, the goats were laid peacefully at the bottom of the truck as the handlers kept close watch of their vitals. The truck then traveled about a quarter-mile down the roadway before dropping the goats off at a collection of tents that wouldn’t look out of place on the set of the army medical TV show “M.A.S.H.”
Atop park picnic tables, veterinarians put the animals through a battery of medical tests, including having their blood drawn and stool sampled. They were tagged and fitted with GPS collars.
Then the goats were loaded into narrow specialty crates and into a refrigerator truck for transport to the North Cascades mountain range, soon to be their new home.
Wildlife officials hope the transported goats will boost a reduced population of mountain goats living in their native habitat of the Cascades. Olympic National Park officials estimate that they will be able to capture about half the estimated 700 goats living on the Peninsula. The remaining goats unable to be captured will be killed.
Mountain goats predate the park’s designation. Twelve mountain goats were brought by a hunting group to the Olympics from British Columbia and Alaska in the 1920s, according to park officials and newspaper clippings. They multiplied into hundreds. In 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an act to make the Mount Olympus National Monument a national park.
Officials became concerned about aggressive goats after a rare mountain-goat goring killed a 63-year-old hiker in 2010. Mountain goats are known to seek salt from hikers’ sweat and urine. Olympic National Park does not have natural salt sources, and that likely increases interaction with people.
Park officials say removing the goats will help restore the park’s ecology to its original state.
“We will have removed an exotic species that has impacts on fragile ecosystems,” said park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum.
By the time the mountain goats reach their new home in the Cascades, they will have traveled by helicopter, truck and ferry. Volunteer drivers have been shuttling the goats east in refrigerated trucks to several sites in the North Cascades, where the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife is in charge of efforts to deposit the goats in new homes.
Near Stillaguamish Peak Tuesday, the agency and its partners managed to relocate 11 goats. For most of the creatures, a helicopter swooped in and picked up their crates, two at a time, before dropping them off at a high elevation. When the weather turned and poor visibility stopped the helicopter from flying, other goats were driven to a lower location nearby.
Once free, animals galloped from their crates dazed and somewhat bewildered by the ordeal and their new home.
WDFW biologist Rich Harris, who has coordinated the agency’s involvement in the project, said the influx of goats should make populations healthier there, but the effort would take time.
“Goat populations don’t grow fast,” he said. “Success won’t be seen for a decade or maybe two.”

Imagine this: your June garden is all planted, you are starting to see more flowers and even some fruits and vegetables emerge, everything is going great and then boom… an explosion of weeds and potentially unwanted bugs take over. Not to fear! We have some solutions to keep your garden growing and glowing.
It always seems that weeds pop up in every little nook and cranny of a garden. Now weeds are simply unwanted plants, but they do take away nutrients and water from your desired crop. There are several nontoxic solutions to use against these invaders. Once a week, hand-pick the weeds by gently pulling out anything that is growing where you don’t want it to. Another idea that will prevent weeds from growing in the first place is to plant flowers, such as marigolds and petunias, in between your crops. Companion planting with flowers and other crops that grow well together saves space and even helps keep pests away. The other benefit is that plants stay moist in the arid Colorado summers when there is less open ground to dry out. One more idea is to have some sort of mulch around the garden space. You could use untreated wood chips, straw (without seeds), or even coconut husk fibers. The mulch also prevents the area from drying out and the soil from blowing away. Be careful not to smother small plants when using mulch and leave a small ring around any plants to give them space to grow a strong stalk.
Pests could also already be taking an interest in your garden. Here are two tips to help remove them. The first is to make a natural, soapy water solution and saturate your plants with it. To do this, add one tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil and one tablespoon of Castile soap or natural dish soap to a one quart spray bottle and fill the remainder with water. The second option is to add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon of garlic to the above recipe. The added spice and scent repels pests, while the oil and soap make it difficult for them to stick to the plants. It is best to spray your plants in the morning or evening so as not to burn the wet leaves in the harsh sunshine. When your plants’ leaves aren’t looking the best and you can’t figure out what is going on, check the levels on your plant food. The ratio can be found on the product label. Here is a chart to help identify deficiencies your plants might be experiencing.
Check out next month’s article for more fun tips on feeding and watering your garden. Happy summer!

Hailed as the cultural capital of Pakistan, the city of Lahore has been a hub of literary activities for much of the last century. Many prominent literary figures and magazines housed themselves in Lahore and weaved their magic over the rest of subcontinent. The month of February brings winters to an end in Lahore and the atmosphere is pregnant with hope and joy. For many centuries, the festival of Basant was celebrated in Lahore and other parts of Punjab during these days, a practice that has been discontinued due to dangerous string being used by over-competitive kite fliers. While the absence of Basant can’t be compensated entirely, two events warm the hearts of literature enthusiasts each year. One of them is the Lahore International Book Fair and the other one is the Lahore Literary Festival.
Lahore International Book Fair (LIBF) attracts bibliophiles from across Punjab to Lahore and provides an opportunity to booksellers to showcase their collections. Regrettably, over the years, the number of books catering to spiritual or religious needs of people have been dominating the fair, edging it past fiction and non-fiction works. Historically, publishers used to print both religious and non-religious books in equal number and both categories were available for customers. In the last few decades, publishers have limited themselves to particular genres and in this competition, the non-religious segment has been affected adversely. Barring a few recognisable names, Pakistani publishers are not interested in publishing good non-fiction books in Urdu or English. For people who frequently decry the dying of reading habits, a visit to the Expo Centre at the last book fair would have been an eye opener. Large families, young adults, the odd ‘couples’ and plenty of young men were seen browsing through the book stalls. Foreign publishers, particularly from India, were conspicuous by their absence.
A fortnight after the book fair, the third Lahore Literary Festival took place. In the last two editions of the festival, it had rained on the first day. The tradition somehow was maintained this year as well. The odd thing this time around was the huge police contingent performing security duties. Parking was not available within a mile’s distance and puddles formed after the rain didn’t make it easy for anyone to reach the venue unscathed. After braving rain, water, multiple pat-downs and security checks, people reached Alhamra Complex’s Hall 1 to listen to eminent historian, Romila Thapar. Dr. Thapar regaled the audience with history of Somnath, and how different narratives about the Somnath temple and its ‘destruction’ were weaved by various historians.
Over the course of three days, there were talk sessions on topics as diverse as Politics, Diplomacy, International Relations, Saadat Hasan Manto, Debut Novels, History of Pakistani Cricket, Karachi, Noor Jehan, Punjabi Folk stories, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Seraiki Language, Quetta, Feminism, Comics, Television Journalism, Urdu Newspaper Columns, Violence in big cities, Cordoba and Identity Crises. Delegates from all over the world were part of the programme and attendees of the festival showed up in numbers at almost every session. The smaller halls were filled to capacity throughout the day and long queues of eager people formed outside. Young volunteers welcomed and helped the guests with smiles on their faces and a spring in their steps.
In the last few years, the literary festivals organised in different cities of Pakistan have received flak for catering to the ‘elite’ class only. Haseeb Asif, a cultural critic, rubbished this claim in the following words, “Art and literature have traditionally depended on patronage from the elite. Some of the most famous and most aggrandised names of the subcontinent’s literary canon wrote under pension from the nobility or the state. If socialites flock to these events now to see who is important enough to invite back home for dinner, well, it is what they have always done.” Compared to Karachi Literature Festival (also held annually in February), Lahore’s festival is definitely more high-brow (and thus, lots of people claiming ‘entitlement’).
Amidst the International isolation faced by our country in the last few years (mostly as a result of our own flawed policies), International festivals pave the way for our people to interact with the outside world and to be subjected to different shades of opinion. Uncomfortable truths can (and do) cause mental anguish amongst the best of us and this was showcased during some sessions when audience members balked at the notion that their version of ‘truth’ was not the actual truth. In a session with renowned columnists, an audience member considered it his duty to defend the defunct ‘Ideology of Pakistan’ while a patriot couldn’t control his emotions when a Bangladeshi writer mentioned sexual crimes committed by our Army in 1971.
The best part of the festival was the atmosphere outside the halls, with freelance musicians playing cheerful tunes, Heer being sung by a traditional singer and television reporters chasing people off, looking for quotes for their hourly ‘packages’. The festival didn’t actually prove anything other than the fact that such events should be held more regularly and the people of this city deserve more of such avenues of literature and having a good day in the outdoors.

I have GIMP 2.8 and windows 8.1. If I open more than one file and try to move
one with the left-right, up-down icon, GIMP crashes. I thought I might
"overload the 8.2 version with a more current version GIMP 8.2.16. It did't
work. So, I thought I would uninstall GIMP altogether and reinstall the newer
version.. To my unpleasant surprise, the directory still calls it a 2.8
version and when I reloaded it anew, I still had the same problems; it did not
work.. I've had this problem with no other vision of GIMP.
I realize that since GIMP is free, I should not complain. I still have one
question: When they have a program that works, why do their programmers keep
fiddling with it until it does'nt work?

Health Care Reform
In 2010, the federal government enacted a comprehensive law to reform the health care system, called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The purpose of the law was to increase access to affordable health insurance. The law expanded eligibility to free health insurance for low income individuals and created a marketplace for individuals to purchase health insurance. In California, this free public health insurance program is called Medi-Cal and the health insurance marketplace is called Covered California.
President Trump and the 2017 Congress have indicated their intention to repeal and replace the ACA. It is unclear what “repeal and replace” would look like at this time, when it would occur and what the impact would be. Until the Congress and the President act to successfully change the ACA, the ACA remains in place. Qualifying individuals remain eligible for Medi-Cal and the cost sharing subsidies for Covered CA premiums which were made available through the ACA.
This page will be updated as more information is available.

News Report from Mount Everest
July 02, 2012
Gabriel Westin who is an associate at Vinge’s Gothenburg office recently returned home after having spent two months in Nepal and Tibet. In this article he will be talking about the dramatic conclusion to the Mount Everest expedition.
One of the team members in the expedition, Alexander Riddermark, reached the summit at 8 848 metres above sea level, whilst the other three; Gabriel Westin, Jesper Hartelius and Tomas Eriksson were all forced to turn back on the final day of the ascent. Gabriel reached 8 577 metres despite the fact that he was suffering from an infection. Back at the advance base camp at 6 400 metres, he started to run a high temperature, developed a rasping cough and had such difficulty in breathing that he had to be given oxygen. It subsequently transpired that this was due to a pulmonary edema.
How do you feel now?
“I still have a bit of a cough, otherwise I feel fine, although I do need to gain some weight. The total weight loss during the expedition was 13 kilos. In addition, one of us got a serious bout of a stomach bug in Kathmandu when we weighed in, so we probably lost a few more kilos there as well.”
How are the others feeling? Are they also feeling ok?
“Absolutely, but everyone is a bit thin.”
Are you disappointed about not having reached the summit?
“As things turned out up on the mountain, I am not really disappointed at all. I am just happy that we all got down and back in one piece. Taking the decision to turn back was probably one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but if I had not taken that decision then I am convinced that I would still be up there. And if we had not decided to go the extra mile and go all the way down to the advance base camp at once, then the pulmonary edema would have developed at a higher altitude and then I really would have been in trouble.”
Do you want to try again?
“No, this is definitely something that I do not want to do again. But on the other hand it is also something that I want niggling at me either. It has been a fantastic experience and we have all gained from it as persons. However, it is far too dangerous. At such altitude you really are on a knife edge because the simplest mistake can have extremely serious consequences. If anything happens up there and you cannot get down under your own steam, then it is over. Nobody can carry you down and rescue helicopters cannot fly on the northern face of Everest. Another reason for not doing it again is that our loved ones have undergone a lot of stress and strains as a result of this adventure and with the benefit of hindsight it makes me feel rather egoistic. If I am completely honest, then there are better things to do with your time than walking uphill for two months.”
Is there anything you would do differently if you had the chance to do it all over again?
“Yes, absolutely. We would have organised the trip differently. Having a westerner as a guide was completely pointless. Instead we should have got ourselves a Sherpa guide and more oxygen. This would have increased our chances of reaching the summit significantly.”
What was the best thing about the expedition?
“That is difficult to answer. There are lots of things that were good although at the same time we also had a few less inspiring experiences. However, coming back to all our loved ones here in Sweden was probably the best part of it. We have had a great time together and the camaraderie which has developed from being exposed to such physical and psychological strains together stays with you for the rest of your life. However, I cannot really say that I enjoyed the trip. It was more a question of making it as bearable as possible.”
What was the worst thing about the expedition?
“For me personally it was when I was feeling so bad in the advance base camp due to the pulmonary edema. That was one of the worst experiences of my life. Sitting there coughing up blood and not being able to breathe with no possibility of getting to a doctor or having any form of transportation to a hospital was terrifying. For a while there I thought it was all over. I could not breathe but then my mates helped me with the oxygen and I calmed down a bit and then my breathing slowly came back.”
Will there be any more mountain climbing?
“We do not have any expeditions planned. Even if all four of us did not make it to the summit, there are only three mountains in the world that are higher than the points that we were forced to turn back from. The next thing we are going to be doing together is going to some sunny clime with a drink that has got a little umbrella in it.”
How do you think this adventure will affect your life?
“That is difficult to say. I do not think it has all sunk in yet. However, you do learn to appreciate those things that you have at home a lot more after an adventure such as this. You learn to know yourself and your friends extremely well. You also realise what is important in life and also what is less important. For me it was a thoroughly useful experience. I am sure you can acquire that experience in other ways but it is very accentuated when you are up in the mountains. At a physical level I learnt that my body can actually cope with a lot more than I thought. You keep going by sheer will power alone but it is extremely important not to allow your will to affect your judgement. Maybe that sounds easy but when you have been fighting to achieve something for such a long time it can be quite difficult for example to make the decision to turn back when the goal is so close you can almost touch it.”

You've already got your
You've already got your pumpkins off to a good start by applying higher concentrations of Nitrogen (but not too much) in the early growth stage. Before starting fertilizer, I hope your soil was prepared with generous amounts of organic matter such as manure and compost as pumpkins are big feeders.
Switch to a formula higher in phosphorus when the flowers appear--and through the flowering and fruit stage--such as 5-10-5 or 5-15-5.
After fruit set, you can add more potassium for fruit growth. Either switch to a higher potassium formula or just supplement your 5-10-5 or 5-15-5 with extra potassium.

CO2 Capture Using Electrical Energy
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Electrochemically Mediated Separation for Carbon Capture and Mitigation
Cambridge, MA
ARPA-E Award:
Project Term:
07/01/2010 to 01/31/2013
Project Status:
Critical Need:
Project Innovation + Advantages:
MIT and Siemens Corporation are developing a process to separate CO2 from the exhaust of coal-fired power plants by using electrical energy to chemically activate and deactivate sorbents, or materials that absorb gases. The team found that certain sorbents bond to CO2 when they are activated by electrical energy and then transported through a specialized separator that deactivates the molecule and releases it for storage. This method directly uses the electricity from the power plant, which is a more efficient but more expensive form of energy than heat, though the ease and simplicity of integrating it into existing coal-fired power plants reduces the overall cost of the technology. This process could cost as low as $31 per ton of CO2 stored.
Impact Summary:
If successful, MIT's method would use electrical energy to store CO2 at lower cost than current technologies, limiting the increased cost of carbon capture and storage for coal-fired power plants.

Kidney Failure in Cats: A Highly Manageable Condition
I am not a vet or vet tech, but I have taken care of many cats with kidney failure. I've also seen a lot of people devastated by a kidney failure diagnosis in their cat and unsure of how to care for their pet, or if treatment is even possible, so I thought I'd pass along information from my experience. Kidney failure is a serious illness, but by no means an immediate death sentence. With some care, you can give your cat many years you might not have initially thought possible. I've compiled a list of recommendations which can provide a very powerful starting point in addressing a kidney failure diagnosis.
Don't Panic!
The first thing to realize is that kidney failure is a nearly inevitable part of cat aging, and therefore not as immediately serious a diagnosis as it might initially sound. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that a cat can live happily and otherwise healthily for years after a diagnosis under the right circumstances. In my experience following just these directions, cats have regularly lived five years with kidney failure, and even up to seven. In fact following these recommendations for any older cat while monitoring him or her for symptoms of kidney failure (including weight loss, weakness in the hind legs, changes in water consumption, diarrhea or appetite changes) will help you keep your cat healthy.
Water, Water, Water
The most important thing you can do is make sure your kitty constantly has access to clean water. Change it every day and keep an eye on it to make sure it stays clean. Monitor your kitty to make sure he is drinking, too. I've heard that some cats respond well to a little lemon juice being added to the water if they're not drinking, and Pedialyte and similar products can be given. You should also monitor your cat's hydration level. This can be done by pinching the skin at the top of the neck and seeing how quickly it returns to normal. A slower return means your cat is dehydrated, though you should realize that the looser skin of older cats bounces back more slowly than that of a younger cat. If you do find that your cat is not drinking enough or is slightly dehydrated, you can also use a syringe to inject water a little at a time into her mouth; this is messy, but it can go a long way toward alleviating dehydration.
Avoid Stress
Stress is harmful to cats, particularly sick or fragile ones. Minimize events and exposure to surroundings that cause stress for your kitty.
Baby Food
The right baby food (Gerber Seconds meat flavors like chicken and turkey are perfect) can be great food for a sick cat, including one with kidney failure. The salt content is lower, liquid content is higher, the protein is higher quality and last but not least, most cats love it, meaning they may eat it when they are not particularly keen on eating anything else (keeping your cat eating is important, so make sure he is, even if the food he wants isn't particularly healthy). If your cat is reluctant to eat, you can also put baby food in a syringe and squirt it directly into his/her mouth. Don't feed your cat exclusively baby food for too long, though, as it lacks some nutrients such as taurine, a vital amino acid that cats cannot produce. In addition, not all brands or flavors of baby food are appropriate, so be careful in your selection.
A combination of the above steps will be powerful in fighting your cat's kidney failure, but sometimes your cat will need an extra boost. Subcutaneous fluids provide that boost. The electrolyte solution is injected under the skin and absorbed by the body to improve your cat's hydration levels. With instruction from your vet and practice, you can do this at home with minimal stress and discomfort for the cat. The administration of subcutaneous fluids is a powerful tool in your cat-care arsenal.
Monitor for Symptoms of Infection
Watch for blood in the urine, inability to urinate or fever (feel your cat's ears frequently to make sure they are not abnormally warm); these are all signs of a bladder infection. If you do see these signs, take your cat to the vet, who will test for infection and prescribe antibiotics. Do this as soon as possible, because the longer an infection goes untreated, the harder it will be to treat and you do not want it to spread to the kidneys. Speed is vital to treating infections, and cats with kidney failure are more susceptible to them.
A diagnosis of kidney failure can be scary for a cat-owner, but remember that while the condition is serious, cats can live happily and otherwise healthily for many years with the condition. Just stay on top of it, follow these suggestions, do some research and monitor for irregularities, acting quickly when you find them.

Hi protein foods are not ideal for renal failure patients as the kidney find proteins difficult to process. Also you would need to make sure the baby food is not high in phosphate as this is bad for the kidneys
Having plenty of water is definitely a good thing and subcutaneous fluid therapy would be a better option the syringing water orally because renal patients already have a larger than normal water consumption. This can affect there appetite as the stomach is full of water therefore the patient feels full and won't eat. You have good experience with syringing water orally but not everyone does and aspiration pneumonia can happen.
The information you have provided is definitely helpful but there are a few different types of renal disease so veterinary assistance is also required.

boat ladder buyer guide
Transom Ladder
Transom ladders permanently mount to your boat’s transom and are ideal for boats that don't already have a swim platform. Consider installing a backing plate for added strength.
Important Features:
1. Mounting brackets allow for easy mounting while the horizontal tubes can be cut to fit your transom, whether curved or flat.
2. Hinges allow you to flip or fold the ladder out of the water when not in use. This allows for dry storage and, as a result, less overall wear and tear.
Dive Ladder
Dive ladders attach to your boat’s transom via a mounting bracket and deploy at an angle to assist in climbing. Dive ladders also offer extra weight capacity to account for diving gear. Consider adding a backing plate, as all of the stress is at the single mounting bracket.
Important Features:
1. Wide steps allow for easy climbing with fins.
2. A single middle pipe, instead of two end pipes, also make climbing with fins and scuba gear easier and safer.
Dock Ladder
Dock ladders mount to a dock or seawall. Depending on the model, dock ladders can either be permanently mounted or removable.
Important Features:
1. Hand rails provide a firm grip as you climb those last few steps.
2. Several models come with hinges or other mechanisms to lift the ladder out of the water and help reduce corrosion.
3. Several models have rungs at a slight angle for easier climbing.
Gunwale Ladder
Gunwale boat ladders hook over your boat’s gunwale. Most models are lightweight and easy to deploy.
Important Features:
1. Padded hooks fit over the gunwale, just make sure the hook diameter is wider than your gunwale. Note, some hooks fold flat.
2. Many models also feature telescoping legs for compact stowage.
3. Look for models with standoffs that push the ladder away from the hull, protecting it from damage and adding stability to the climb.
Swim Platform Ladder
If your boat has a swim platform, special ladders are available to make reboarding at the platform easy.
Important Features:
1. Swim platform ladders can attach either to the top or bottom of the platform. The ladder shown here attaches to the underside.
2. Telescoping steps provide compact stowage. On bottom-mounted ladders they slide underneath the platform, while on top-mounted ladders they flip up and stow on top of the platform.
Swim Platform
Swim platforms attach to your boat’s transom and provide a convenient means of reboarding after swimming.
Important Features:
1. A handrail makes climbing the ladder easier and provides another mounting point for the platform.
2. Poly platforms come with pre-drilled pilot holes that may require additional drilling during assembly.
3. Telescoping ladders either mount on top or bottom of the platform and stow in the same method (top or bottom).
4. Underside support brackets add stability.
Pontoon Ladder
Designed specifically for pontoon boats, several different pontoon ladders are available that mount at the side gate or under the deck.
Important Features:
1. Gudgeons or hooks provide permanent or temporary mounting to the deck.
2. A single full-width standoff or a pair of standoffs come with side- mounted ladders to rest against the pontoon and provide stability while climbing.
3. Permanently-mounted ladders feature hinges or sliding mechanisms to remove the bottom rungs from the water.
When you're floating in the water, only your head and shoulders are above the surface. This is an important consideration when using a ladder to reboard your boat. If the ladder doesn't extend deep enough into the water, you may have to bring your leg up to your chest just to get on that first rung. As a result, it is very important to choose a ladder that will extend two or three rungs below the water’s surface (about 2 - 3 feet).
To determine the overall height of the ladder you need, measure the height of the freeboard on your boat and then add an extra 2 to 3 feet for ladder submersion. For mounted ladders, also take into consideration where the ladder will be mounted on your boat. You’ll need to allow for proper ladder submersion, while also mounting high enough up the freeboard in order to make reboarding easy.
Pro Tip: If reboarding from the side of your boat, choose a ladder with standoffs that rest against the hull. This adds rigidity and stability to the boat ladder. Ladders without standoffs in a side-boarding situation can flex and float underneath the boat, making them difficult to climb.

Boat ladders come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles. Just as there are hundreds of types of boats, there are hundreds of kinds of boat ladders. As a result, permanently mounting a ladder to your boat is different in every situation. There are, however, a few generalized guidelines to consider, regardless of your ladder mounting situation.
• Consider having the ladder professionally installed. Having your ladder professionally installed assures it’s done properly and safely. Also, professional installation is a safeguard against warranty issues should the ladder fail due to a defect.
• Read the instructions. Mounting and assembly instructions are included with your boat ladder. If you intend to install the ladder yourself, read and follow the instructions so the ladder is installed properly and won't fail you down the road.
• Cutting and drilling will be required. Depending on where the ladder is mounted, you will have to drill into your deck or hull. Pre-drilled holes on the ladder may also need a little extra drilling in order to allow the bolts to fit properly. Additionally, ladder tubes may need to be cut down to match the curve of your hull.
• Install a backing plate for additional support. When someone is climbing your boat ladder, a large amount of stress is being exerted over a small area of the hull. This can cause the hull to buckle or the screws to loosen. A metal backing plate helps mitigate such issues by reinforcing the hull where the ladder is mounted.
• Measure the area and position your ladder before drilling. Since each mounting situation is different, measure your intended mounting area, position your ladder, and mark where you are going to drill ahead of time. Make sure everything is positioned correctly and as you want it before drilling any holes.
Safety Tip: Periodically check the mounting and assembly hardware and retighten as necessary. Vibration from the motor and regular use may cause hardware to loosen over time.
Permanently Mounted LadderTemporarily Mounted Ladder
Always at the readyMany models fold flat for compact stowage
Doesn't take up storage spaceLightweight and easy to deploy
Can be quickly deployed in an emergencyMany models can also mount permanently
Cannot be deployed when the boat is movingEasier to keep dry and prevent corrosion
One of the most common questions asked when selecting a boat boarding ladder is whether or not the mounting hardware is included. The answer depends on the manufacturer and the ladder. In most cases, assembly hardware and special mounting brackets (if required) are included. However, it is common to have to go to a marine supply store and purchase the actual hardware needed to physically mount the ladder to your boat. This mounting hardware should only be a couple of nuts, bolts, and washer sets.
Every boat is unique, and so are your ladder-mounting needs. Are you mounting to the transom? Is it a flat or curved transom? Are you using backing? All of these considerations, and more, help determine the size and type of hardware you’ll need. Because of the many factors and variations among boats and boat ladders, there is not really a “one-kit-fits-all” mounting solution.
Replacing a mounted boat ladder is a tricky scenario. In an ideal world, you can find either the same model or one with an identical mounting pattern and use the same holes. If you know the brand and model number of the ladder being replaced, these factors will help your sales representative determine if a new ladder is available.
However, if the ladder is more than 10 years old, chances are that model is no longer available. You may be able to find a comparable mounting pattern from the same brand, but the more likely scenario is you'll have to patch the mounting holes in your boat, replace the backer plate (or add one), and then remount using the new boat ladder.
Though they are not immune to it, both aluminum and stainless steel boat ladders are designed to resist corrosion. Salty marine air, submersion in water, and marine life can eventually cause rust, but regular ladder cleaning and maintenance can help maintain your ladder’s luster and rung life for years to come. To care for your boat ladder, regularly implement the following steps.
• Rinse the ladder after use. After you're done on the lake for the day give your ladder a quick rinse with the hose to remove any corrosive elements.
• Regularly clean your ladder. Just like cleaning your car or washing your favorite boat, periodically cleaning your boat ladder with soap or a mild abrasive will reduce the risk of corrosion.
• Stow the ladder out of water when not in use. When you're done boating for the season, remove the ladder and store it in a dry place out of the elements.

Currently at this time there are a lot associated reasons when you need to perform some criminal the historical past check in today’s website. These feuds vary out of questions over a soulmate’s fidelity to misgivings with regards to a recently hired caregiver.

A criminal ambient search possibly can clear away any distrust with some sort of quick and so simple glimpse into that you simply person’s rating. Many credentials checks recurrence not roughly criminal history, but furthermore , financial, personal, court, as well as a martial. Heritage checks could be tried in twin ways; within the net and on the high street. We at the present time live by a continents in which anything does be noticed instantly many to i would say the growth related the broad web.

Via the internet background lab tests matches raise even new favorably to offline criminal arrest background online searches when it has result acceleration is done under think about. Offline the historical past searches ordinarily require a period to do with time for the analyst or service provider to take advantage of a take of and consequently organize ones own data. By way of an online background verification this processes can get completed in about less than 30 minutes.
Running a Background Test utilising Google
Whatever the exact motivation, operating a felon background go searching has get to be easier coupled with easier thanks to the World Wide Web. Now it is probably a simple matter concerning typing the particular name in order to any exploration engine as well as a analyzing that this returning pages of content. However, My partner and i have previously used this process several times, and may definitively form that a is a awful in addition , inefficient way of engaging in a per criminal the past check. Leading this process for a single traditional title results using hundreds of pages, loads of filled with information you were never ever looking as for. For known names, this outcome could amplified as being there will likely be relatively tens linked thousands with regards to people with the help of the exact same name you are wandering for. The item situation thus forces you actually mine in the course of tens of pages in Google until now you especially find a relevant study result. The application of this method for plenty of searches quickly evolves on the road to an drill in dullness and, all over most cases, futility as despite the copious grades of data available when Google, might be always the possibility of the fact that you didn’t find over anything at all important due to sound of articles you ran through. Fortunately, it has become possible so that it will avoid the vast majority of of that this complications together with other complexnesses affiliated sufficient reason for using searching engines in performing background checks by means of using an online record search website.
Using an important Background Check Website
There may be tens from internet book pages that promotion a all inclusive background hunt that carries cell moreover address history, criminal and so court history, and significant other history. Typically these establishments have be able to access to an important wide mixture of buyer and secluded sources, locating a an great amount about information inside of a little site. These services now let background investigation searches having a wide variety of websites like some sort of basic label and specific location to mobile handset numbers. That have every web site giving get to extremely wealth to do with information, picking out a legal background money service drops mainly on the demand of the report.

A bulk of background seeks site present you a court period together with a less than $5 that helps for a wide range of background payments. The offer period for the most part ends since a two people of short days. The tryout turns into a traditional subscription assuming that you write not invalidate before the particular trial tips. There contain been the accounts most typically associated with a only a handful of sites want been repeatedly charging the parties despite people canceling the very service. Present are way too sites exactly who claim that can have cost-free of charge background searches but right after that ask for the money before presenting the report. All majority of “free” the past checks internet websites are equal to specific previous model so be careful when choosing a company. Be particularly wary associated any supply that appears to be too good to quite possibly be true.
There lots of cases with regard to which a good solid criminal ambient check potentially be . You may possibly well be nervous over a cheating mate, or it is possible worrying which will your most recent baby caregiver may surely have a unlawful history. At any time the intent the check can prove to be done online in a good solid couple areas. The consider can be performed on Google or any other large examination engines but such an actual method is regarded as slow and therefore inefficient. The type of process can easily also try to be done online through quite a few criminal context check super highway pages. This services seriously should be picked with correct however. A great many people buy claimed that some associated with these companies have continued to need them over and above cancellation. After there would be webpages which experts claim state that will they currently have “free” felony background look for but requires a deposited subscription in order enter the “free” background go searching.
Spare Public Court Records ( space Are Court Records Honestly Available Online?
Many people find their own curious about court data entries. Sometimes, it is just idle curiosity. Sometimes, this is a potential ceo or other interested halloween party who wants more things concerning a court suit which effects them. Upon all, even major court cases may be selected to well after media emphasis dies down, and the resulting records are simply just published and forgotten all over. Additionally, many persons wish that to know more about the legal history connected with a person, especially any time the person may posses been less than sensible.
Historically however, persons having thoughts about tennis court records confronted an uphill battle. I would say the records they were often horribly stashed attending remote courthouses with no or no organization. Additionally, it ranged from perplexing to unrealistic to look up judge records using other reveals. Luckily, x have re-structured and legally speaking records will definitely be now widely available the world wide web. The designing of this in turn modern tech has rendered the nightmare of hard-to-find records very obsolete, nonetheless of green online solutions isn’t perfect.
Currently, almost state in addition to federal bref are required to put their records online moreover not require for that service, excepting those legit decisions suffering from national surety or secrecy concerns. However, the our mother earth and getaway of publishing vary straight from state on state. So as such, a person appearing to actual through court docket records will want to consider proceeding their district law library, or using a small town college campus’s law department. There they will realize that several are rule librarians then law computers which can help men and women navigate the entire nuanced furthermore obtuse heart of constitution records in find currently the ones these want. Individuals may quite possibly be proficient to give support to explain my legal leap of faith and those “legalese” this kind of is written in.
There ‘re also multiple free Colorado criminal records providers on all the internet what type of look to successfully help a person reach court records. Additionally, state-run websites may offer solutions to be of assistance someone look through the court records of that state. Where there are furthermore for-pay services, and during they announce to recommend superior service, many are probably simply furnishing for pay the price what the state also other websites offer relating to free. Therefore a woman / man looking so that you search through court precise records should indeed be wary of all such sites, which may perhaps charge ridiculous fees to issue someone a very look attending what is without question readily ready for spare. Still, those who expect to lookup up court records connected with specific persons, rules or possibly decisions may well find ones records easily available available within the internet and are typically encouraged to assist you use websites or librarians to help you out them in the finding all of the relevant events.

tim geither sheila bair
When the financial system was imploding in 2008, there was one shining light for Tim Geithner: a flailing Citi would buy Wachovia, giving the huge bank "a stable deposit base."
Sheila Bair, then head of the FDIC, was not a fan of the deal, but was strong-armed into supporting it, according to an interview she gave to Joe Nocera at the New York Times.
Eventually, Wells Fargo would bid for Wachovia, and Bair would support it (much to the disdain of Geithner and the New York Fed).
The almost-Citi deal with Wachovia is just one example that Bair gives Nocera for her "exit interview," highlighting how the FDIC was regularly sidelined by the Treasury and the Fed during the crisis, even though Bair's agency had been the only regulator to begin calling the sub-prime meltdown prior to it happening.
Often, she'd be bullied into supporting already agreed upon terms by the Treasury and Fed, because they'd bring out the, 'if you don't do this, the system is going down' argument.
According to the Bair,
And in Bair's opinion, "no bank was treated as solicitously, especially by the New York Fed," as Citi was.
According to the New York Times,
She felt pressured by the Fed to allow Citi to buy a failing Wachovia — which she suspected was a kind of backdoor way to strengthen Citi by giving it access to Wachovia’s stable deposit base. To make the deal work, the New York Fed even agreed to absorb some of Wachovia’s losses. When the F.D.I.C. accepted the Citi offer, Geithner felt that a deal had been made.

Cabrillo Stages a Sizzling In the Heights
Cabrillo Stages a Sizzling In the Heights
In The Heights/ conceived and music & lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda/book by Quiara Alegria Hudes/directed & choreographed by Morgan Marcell/choreography recreated from Andy Blankenbuehler's original /Cabrillo Music Theatre, Thousand Oaks/through April 6 only
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony and Grammy Award-winning show In the Heights had a lot to shout about when it played Broadway in fact, it still does. First of all, it's a musical with and about Latinos - way overdue -plus it has a terrific book with a heartwarming storyline about a closely knit community. That's right, a real community, one that boasts a bevy of exceedingly real and likeable characters. Miranda also created a varied score with ballads & traditional pop melodies and salsa meshed together with rap. Now onstage for the first time in regional theatre, Cabrillo brings In the Heights to Thousand Oaks with a dynamite cast and direction by Morgan Marcell, who has also choreographed - wisely recreating Andy Blankenbuehler's original moves. To say that this production rocks is an understatement.
Cabrillo Stages a Sizzling In the HeightsLed by Lano Medina as Usnavi (the role Miranda wrote for himself) the show starts at about 100 mph and never slows down. Usnavi is a fast-talking Dominican grocery-store owner who is everyone's favorite brother, son, you name it. Each day of living in the heights is made better through contact with him, and Medina nails the man's fine sense of humanity. If you don't already know him, by intermission, you want to be his friend. Petite Ayme Olivo makes a beautiful Nina Rosario, intelligent and caring, not unlike Usnavi, but her good fortune lies outside the heights, not within, as she has experienced study at Stanford University. Rachae Thomas is a sultry Vanessa, who, unlike Nina, has less of a chance for self-improvement. She resigns herself to stay, but like most of her friends, rarely lets living get her down. Thomas makes her up, happy, fiery and ready to dance. Tami Dahbura is Abuela Claudia, everybody's favorite grandma. Hailing from Cuba, she reminisces about starry Havana nights, so missing from the New York sky and keeps a strong faith, if not always for herself, at least for everybody else's goodwill. Dahbura's two solos are sung so earnestly and dynamically that they leave an indelible impression. Celina Clarich Polanco and Benjamin Perez are Camila and Kevin Rosario, Nina's parents, who will do just about anything to guarantee a successful future for their daughter. Others completing the cherished mix are Jonathan Arana as Piragua Guy - another great singer, Frank Authello Andrus Jr. as Benny, so in love with Nina yet 'not fitting in', Chala Savino and Anna Gabrielle Gonzalez as Daniela and Carla, Vanessa's jovial partners at the hair salon, whose gossipy and graphically biting humor keep things jumping, kind of like in a Latino TV sitcom. Robert Ramirez is Usnavi's faithful Tonto cousin Sonny and Jose-Luis Lopez , Graffiti Pete, budding artista. Ramirez is a born comic and Lopez, a superior dancer. Suffice to say, the entire company are triple threat performers.
Guided by Marcell's fast pacing and mesmerizing choreography, the entire cast have energy to burn. When one of the street kids is asked early on if he can dance, the reply crackles "Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Salsa and all the nonstop ingrained Latin rhythms are present. Miranda's music starts and ends with rap, but in between runs the gamut of styles with even a couple of beautiful ballads like "Inutil", "Paciencia y Fe", "Alabanza" and "Everything I Know".
Cabrillo Stages a Sizzling In the HeightsQuiara Alegria Hudes' book does lapse into sitcom-like dialogue at times, but the stories have enough relevance and heart to maintain interest, and in the long run, it's the whole picture that matters most. Especially effective is Abuela Claudia's nurturing ways. We feel her fierce integrity to the very end... and beyond. And as far as winning the lottery is concerned, Usnavi's 'surprise' decision as to how to spend the money makes him a champion to his entire extended family. Yes, indeed, there's miles of heart to be found in the heights.
Cabrillo has rented original designer Anna Louizos' incredible touring set of the tenements and storefronts of the heights with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background, authentic down to the smallest detail. Even if you have never lived in Washington Heights or any other barrio you can relate to this community of minority people who live for and love each other. In our repressed economic times, In the Heights represents what every place needs to have: a heightened sense of soul and joy that just won't quit. Cabrillo's production ranks with the best

LAMP stack in Ubuntu – Install & Configuration
This is the first post of two where you will end up configuring a PHP development environment in Ubuntu and using Eclipse. This first post is for installing and configuring Apache, MySQL and PHP in Ubuntu.
From a fresh installation of Ubuntu follow these steps:
Installing LAMP
1. Refresh your Ubuntu package index, executing the following command: sudo apt-get update
2. Install the lamp server: sudo apt-get install lamp-server^. Note the caret (^) at the end. That is required to let apt-get to install the lamp-server without using tasksel (another tool for installing common packages that are used together).
During installation you will be informed that 119MBs are required for the installation. And also you will be asked for the MySQL root password.
Apache Configuration
Now, to finally configure apache2, run the following commands:
1. apache2
2. sudo service apache2 restart
To test that apache is running, go to http://localhost/, and if you see on you browser the message “It works!”, then you are OK. The default document root in Ubuntu is /var/www/html. So, when you navigate with http://localhost/, you should see the content of the file /var/www/html/index.html.
Here is a sample command of how to deal with the apache service:
sudo service apache2 [start|stop|restart]
Create a file called /var/www/html/test.php, and inside it paste the following code:
Then go to http://localhost/test.php and verify that you see the php information page.
PHP5 comes with two configuration files, one for development and other for production. You will find them in the following locations: /usr/share/php5/php.ini-development and
/usr/share/php5/php.ini-production. To configure the one for development, first do a backup copy of the current one and then, create a symbolik link, running the following two commands:
sudo mv /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.bak
sudo cp -s /usr/share/php5/php.ini-development /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Debug in PHP
In order you can debug PHP applications, you have to install xDebug. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
# Added for xdebug
xdebug.remote_host= xdebug.remote_port=9000
Then, restart the apache service: sudo service apache2 restart
You can enter to the mysql console, typing: mysql -u root -p. Or you can install MySQL-Workbench running the following command: sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench. After that to start mysql workbench, just type in a console: mysql-workbench.
Now that you have LAMP installed, configured and tested, you can read the Eclipse/PHP post to install and configure Eclipse to start developing.

Hazel Richardson is running for VP Welfare and Community.
As the current LGBTQ+ Officer, Hazel is involved in the Students’ Union and works closely with the current Full-Time Officers which has inspired Hazel to run for the role, they say: “this is what I want to do”.
As part of the School Council and as Head Girl at their school, Hazel has experience of listening to the student body and trying to put their ideas in place. As Part-Time Officer, they also have a similar role and pushes forward campaigns that are important to students.
Hazel’s unique selling point is their current experience with the Union as well as their participation in liberation groups.
If elected, their four priorities are welfare, sustainability, community and student voice. In terms of welfare, Hazel told SCAN that the welfare systems at Lancaster University can be confusing. They aims to create a streamlined system of welfare, as they say there is a lot of support for students, but many students struggle to know where to go. Their second priority is sustainability and Hazel wants to ensure that the new Health Innovation Campus is an environmentally sustainable project. Thirdly, Hazel wants to continue the We Are Lancaster project and continue communicating with the wider community as well as local universities to ensure Lancaster has a well-developed public presence. And finally, Hazel wants to ensure all voices are heard, even if they are not represented by the Officers in the Student’s Union.
With career interests in NGO work, charities and non-for profit organizations, Hazel believes the role of VP Welfare and Community is a fantastic stepping stone for their career. However, they also want to make “big differences” to the student body in her term if they were elected.
Hazel believes the current system, where Part-Time Officers work with liberation groups are “very effective” when Part-Time Officers are there to represent a particular group. However, Hazel expresses concern if no one runs for a role, that there is no representation for that group.
Hazel also says that the current way the university educates students on consent “is not necessarily as instructive as it could be”. They says that everyone comes from different educational backgrounds and have been taught about consent in different ways or not at all. The candidate feels “there could definitely be more… to make sure everyone is on a level playing field”. Hazel is also concerned about the current spine works and says, “disabled access has been shocking at times”, where students have struggled to make their way around university.
Hazel’s manifesto is heavily weighted with student opinion. Before campaigning, Hazel informally spoke to other students at university about their struggles with the Welfare system and she aims to reduce these problems if they were elected.
They also want to increase support for international students at the start of their university life and desires to have an information leaflets or welfare booklet in fresher’s packs, so that students know where to go.

What Is An Open Title
I have a file open about the car I bought and go find the license plate? 3
I bought a car and was told it was difficult to get a license plate and I didn't really know what to do. Yellow Can anyone help you?
I bought it privately.
He says he can't even find the tag, even temporarily, because the car opens the file.
First, they may not be able to get their license plate because the car is not in their name. An open file usually refers to a file that has been signed for bids but has not won new bids. I would like to see the file. If there is no name at the back, just enter a name and upload the file. This package sounds a little ridiculous to me, so I'll check everything if I want to give someone some money. Ok i and it helps
I work for dmv and I don't even understand what you mean by open file.
Being open-minded, in my opinion, means that the previous list (which was sold to this person) never signed their rudeness. If so:
1. The person will not be able to sell the car to you until they have registered it with their name and obtained a license plate.
2. You cannot save an open file until you get the signature of the old file.
3. You think it looks like a stolen car. I forgot this car and am going to buy another one. For example, he doesn't give you anything.
Open the document
Well, it depends on who you buy (individual or retailer) and what problems you have in getting the panel.
If you bought it from a dealership, it is up to them to return the car. If this is not possible, you have not sold and you may have the option to cancel the contract (read fine print).
The term open commercial file means that the seller has signed and dated his name and printed his name and sale on his books. And leave the buyer's name blank. Then the new metal is filled. The buyer is liable for any property or sales tax when registered in his name and must complete the correct mileage at that time.

Extract of sample
"Comparison of Film and Television"
This indicates that television and film uses different studio and location techniques while keeping in view the required result of either 35 or 70 mm. Besides abovementioned norms and technical aspect, analysis has indicated that television and film both utilize similar grammar of shooting techniques to carry out their production while depending on different discussed factors that differentiates the two technologies. For instance, when it comes to camera techniques, both television and film have a variety of shots, such as long, establishing, close-up, wide-angle, tilted, etc.. However, it is an observation that television depends more on close-up shots, whereas, film directors use different shots while using more of long and establishing shots, as well as wide-angle shots that allows the directors to come up with glamorous shots with stunning scenery in the behind on 70 mm screen. Besides, television includes utilization of some other techniques, such as simultaneous time technique that allows the producer/director to display two shots at the same time on split screen to show dialogues of two individuals. However, as film directors use long shot techniques so they usually do not feel the need to use such technique. In addition, television directors often use flashback technique to show past events to the viewers that is not usually observable in films. Whereas, films use techniques, such as slow motion to illustrate slowing down of an action to add excitement; reverse motion to add comedy to the film, etc. Lastly, when it comes to sound, television productions usually use studio sound, whereas, film productions depend on selective sound to enhance quality, as well as dubbed dialogue to acquire highest sound quality without any noise. In addition to camera techniques, analysis has indicated that television productions usually indoor studio facilities, and thus, there is usually no concerns about lighting due to their setting on a grid allowing easy management. However, in films, directors usually use KFB technique that includes key, fill, and back lights that enable the directors to acquire primary light to arouse the natural light from key light. Experts believe that key technique should be in elevation of thirty to forty-five degrees. Besides, fill technique enables the directors to soften the shadow, one of the reasons that viewers do not see any shadows in the films, and it is an observation that such practice exists in television productions as well. In addition, besides such techniques, film directors have to take care of the camera and lighting equipments on outdoor shootings, whereas, it is not the case in television productions due to most of its dependence on indoor shoots. When it comes to audio, once again, television producers do not worry due to soundproof recording studios; however, when it comes to films, as earlier discussed, sound directors often have to use the technique of sound dubbing, whereas, in television, crew use equipments, such as shotgun condenser to record the audio without any hassle. Nevertheless, it is an observation that nowadays, a huge number of directors are using boom operators and shotgun condensers on outdoor locations as well due to availability of high quality of equipments that can distinguish noise Read More

National Visa Center Case Status
Royal courts were not organised into a hierarchy; instead, different royal courts (exchequer, common pleas, king’s bench, and chancery) were in competition with each other. The definition of civil law is a legal system where the core principles and laws are codified, as opposed to the English system where law is based on precedents set in previous cases.
Florida Business And Finance Exam
The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. This protection reaches all alike, whether accused of crime or not, and the duty of giving to it force and effect is obligatory upon all intrusted under our Federal system with the enforcement of the laws. You can contact the National Visa Center by email, phone, or mail to obtain answers to your questions.
It was created by the Court “to deter police misconduct rather than to punish the errors of judges and magistrates.” Under this interpretation, excluding evidence obtained through an honest mistake would serve no purpose. The article guarantees that “no citizen shall be deprived of his personal liberty save in accordance with law” and outlines a specific procedure for the High Court to enquire into the lawfulness of any person’s detention.
Divorce is a complicated process due to which many are discouraged from going ahead with it. Our Divorce Lawyers of Stafford, VA make it simple and will not only guide you but also update about the recent amendments to the Family Laws in Virginia. Bond appealed her case on the basis that applying the violation of the federal weapons treaty violated the 10th Amendment, in that the intent of the treaty was to deal with terrorists and rogue state governments, not individual citizens.
As Lincoln and his allies in Congress realized emancipation would have no constitutional basis after the war ended, they soon began working to enact a Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery. Business attorneys sometimes will take a portion of equity in your business in exchange for providing legal help.
What the individual will need to do is file a complaint with the court that will legally stop them from blocking the driveway, and possibly even fined. If an officer obtains evidence with a warrant that he believed was properly issued then that evidence will be allowed in court even if it is later shown that there were certain technical problems with the warrant.
The 14th Amendment was passed by Congress in 1866 after the Civil War and during the period of Reconstruction. Second, it dramatically increased the federal judiciary’s deference to decisions previously made in state court proceedings either on appeal or in a state court habeas corpus action.
It was first expressed in the Magna Charta of 1215, which stated, No free man shall be seized, or imprisoned, or disseized, or outlawed, or exiled, or injured in any way, nor will we enter on him or send against him except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land.†The philosophy made its way into English common law in the 1300s, and eventually, common law courts began to issue writs of habeas corpus to order the release of people held by royal courts.
The purpose of the writ of habeas corpus is not to determine the guilt or innocence of a prisoner, but only to test the legality of a prisoner’s current detention. Landlords and tenants each have rights and responsibilities, and a failure to pay rent by the tenant is cause to terminate the lease and bring eviction proceedings if necessary. Amanda’s passion and pursuit is meeting the challenges her clients face in Family Law matters. This hearing is prompted by a defendant who asks the court to review the method by which the police obtained evidence against him or her, and to determine whether that evidence survives constitutional scrutiny.

However, after a bitter debate, the Federalists took an important step forward in US history and, on December 15, 1791 , finally ratified the Bill of Rights comprising the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. When you have an open and understanding relationship with employees, you’ll be able to identify minor problems before they turn into instances of insubordination. Particularly successful and profitable ones will end up with a majority share in most of these smaller companies, allowing them to have a big hand in business decisions and hiring CEOs and managers for their subsidiaries (though holding companies generally do very little with regards to actual operations for them).
To Say The Conclusion
According to the Court, “The use of the fruits of a past unlawful search or seizure ‘works no new Fourth Amendment wrong'” (Evans, quoting Leon, quoting United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 94 S. Ct. 613, 38 L. Ed. 2d 561 1974). For this reason, it is common for insubordination letters to specifically state what will happen should the employee exhibit further insubordinate behavior.

Title A coordinated network of transporters with overlapping specificities provides a robust survival strategy.
Journal Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.
Abstract Multidrug transporters provide a survival strategy for living organisms. As expected given their central role in survival, these transporters are ubiquitous, and in many genomes, several genes coding for putative transporters have been identified. However, in an organism such as Escherichia coli mutations in genes coding for transporters other than the major AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux transporter have only a marginal effect on phenotype. Thus, whether the physiological role of the transporters identified is indeed drug export has been questioned. We show here that the minor effect of single mutations is due to the overlapping functionality of several transporters. This was revealed by generating multiple chromosomal deletion mutations in genes coding for transporters that share the same substrate and testing their effect on the resistance phenotype. In addition, complementation studies imply that AcrAB-TolC confers robust resistance provided that single-component transporters in the plasma membrane are functional. This finding supports the contention that hydrophobic drugs are removed in a 2-stage process: AcrAB-TolC removes substrates from the periplasmic space, while single-component transporters remove them from the cell. The overlapping specificities of the transporters ensure coverage of a wide range of xenobiotics and provide robustness in the response to environmental stress. This strategy also confers evolvability to the organism by reducing constraints on change and allowing the accumulation of nonlethal variation.

Cavallari v. Martin
Cavallari v. Martin, 169 Vt. 210, 732 A.2d 739 (Vt. 1999) was decided when the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement Act of 1968 (RURESA) was in force in Vermont; however, that Act did not apply because it covered only situations in which the child support obligor and obligee are in different states or different counties of the same state. In Cavallari, all of the parties resided in the same county in Vermont. In its opinion, Vermont's Supreme Court noted that RURESA had been replaced by UIFSA, effective January 1, 1998. The Court recognized that, unlike RURESA, Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) contains substantive restrictions that apply to modification decisions, one of which provides that a Vermont court may not modify any aspect of a child support order that may not be modified under the law of the issuing state. Accordingly, under UIFSA, because a New York court could not modify the order to reduce its duration, a Vermont court cannot do so. UIFSA, however, did not have any bearing on the outcome of the Cavallari case, since all of the parties resided in the same county in Vermont. In reversing the judgment of the Family Court, the Supreme Court specifically stated that the adoption of UIFSA "would yield a different result in a modification request first presented to the family court today." Cavallari, 732 A.2d at 740.

Odorous House Ants
Why Do I Have an Odorous House Ant Infestation?
Both odorous and odious, the odorous house ant plagues many Seattle homeowners. Commonly called “sugar ants,” these small black ants are characterized by their rancid coconut smell when threatened or smashed. Although it may be tempting to squish them, the smell is certainly a motivator to think twice about your murderous intentions; injured worker ants can continue to forage for food, and queen ants can still use ant carcasses to lay eggs. Not to mention, the ants you find on your kitchen counter don’t make up the entire colony. In fact, odorous house ant colonies tend to have multiple nests with multiple queens, meaning you may see only a few tiny ants, but they may lead back to millions!
Once an odorous ant colony has set up shop in or around your home, it can be rather difficult to kick those stinky ants to the curb, but with a few adjustments—and perhaps a little help from the pest control professionals—you can be free of rancid smells from these pesky invaders.
Leaving Food Out
The number-one reason why you might have an odorous house ant problem is that you have plenty of food and crumbs for these ants to feast on. Odorous house ants prefer to be outside and generally feed on aphids, but when food supplies run low, they will turn to the next available food source. If you don’t always clean up spills and crumbs as soon as they happen or have a tendency to leave food out on the counter, you might be creating the ideal meal for these ants. Once they’ve established that your home is a good place to go for food, they will follow the trail back for a meal again and again. And don’t be fooled by their common moniker, “sugar ant;” they will feast on anything you leave out, from vegetables to meat to sugary drinks and treats.
There’s nothing more off-putting than finding an ant in your food, but that lone ant can also make you very sick. Odorous house ants have been known to carry diseases such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella. Bottom line: Keep yourself healthy and keep your food covered, sealed, and away from places where these ants can access it.
Optimal Environment
Odorous house ants tend to like dry, warm climates but will begin to make their way inside during the heat of the day, after a big rain, when temperatures drop, or when food supplies become scarce. Unfortunately for us, homes and commercial buildings are the perfect places for these foul-smelling pests to seek refuge. They can hide in the walls, a potted plant, or even a pile of mulch or leaves outside your home.
Signs of an Odorous House Ant Infestation in Seattle
The most obvious sign of an odorous ant infestation is the presence of ants. Odorous house ants are dark brown to black and are only 1/16 t0 ⅛ inch long. Another sure-fire sign is the presence of their infamous rotten coconut smell if you’re brave enough to kill them.
Many homeowners will often complain of swarming termites, but those “termites” might just be female odorous house ants. Female ants are equipped with wings so they can fly off to mate, so if you’re seeing a large cluster of these ants around your home, it’s almost certain there is a colony nearby that is infiltrating your home.
How Do I Get Rid of My Odorous House Ant Infestation?
While keeping your kitchen clean and promptly wiping up spills is a good way to keep odorous house ants out, turning your attention to your lawn can also dramatically drop odorous house ant populations.
Removing any large piles of mulch, leaves, or other vegetation where odorous house ants might hide and moving those same piles away from the structure will not only destroy their environment but also cut off the bridge they might be using to access your building. Treating your lawn and the exterior perimeter of your home can also stop ants at the door before they can ever get inside. Aside from the liquid chemical treatments you can buy at the store, you can also use coffee grounds, Borax, and diatomaceous earth. Buyer beware: Borax and diatomaceous earth are not ideal for households with pets or young children.
You can also keep ants out of your home by using soapy water and vinegar to clear the trail they use to find their way back to their food source. Wiping down the counters will confuse the ants so they won’t be able to follow their trail back.

What is the riskiest decision you have ever made in the workplace?
7 Answer Examples | Learn how to answer this question from professional recruiters
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to know how you handle making risky decisions. As a successful professional, you know to calculate risk in your industry. Tell the interviewer about a work-related risk you have taken and what the outcome was.
Start with an overview of the decision you needed to make, and explain why the situation was risky. Describe who the situation affected, as well as the possible outcomes. Complete your answer by sharing how the decision paid off, or by mentioning any recognition you received for your success.
Answer example
"The riskiest decision I ever made was to leave the recruitment industry to move into workforce planning, as a consultant. The risk meant that if I were unsuccessful, I would be looking for a new job in a really slow economy. The pay off would be that I would finally be in a sector in which I was truly interested. I made a great career for myself for the next eight years, which has brought me here today - with an exceptional opportunity in front of me."
"The riskiest career choice I have made was asking for a reduction in hours, from full time to part time employment, to pursue my degree in Business Administration. My boss could have let me go, but he didn't. In fact, he openly supported my pursuit of higher education."
"My riskiest decision was to ship a customer order late because I was not satisfied with the quality audit. The numbers were within the threshold, but not to par. In the end, while the customer was unhappy to receive a late order, she was happy that we cared enough to investigate any potential problems."
"One of the riskiest decisions I made was to leave corporate America and join a startup with an innovative idea. The company was seeking to provide a product/service that would pioneer a new industry. We worked hard and smart to launch and create a new space in the nutraceutical marketplace. We failed a lot along the way, but we learned to fail fast, and it made us all better professionals."
"I think the riskiest decision I've made is taking steps to pursue this position. I am seeking out an opportunity, which would result in leaving a 5-year tenure at a successful store, where I've risen through the ranks and made a name for myself, to start fresh and challenge myself professionally."
"Easily the riskiest career decision I've made was to leave an established organization where I was being groomed for a general manager role, to try my hand at a technology startup. Most of my family thought I was nuts when I did it, but I felt it my gut it was what I needed to do. I was right. Not only did I get to experience a different, more innovative culture, team, and product, but also I was able to be a real difference maker in the organization, rather than continue to chug away at a 10,000+ person corporate entity. That leap brought me to more opportunities I never thought possible."
"When I came back to work after having my kids -- and leaving was seen as potentially risky, might I add -- I had two options on the table. I could have worked as a high school Spanish teacher or elementary Spanish teacher. I chose Elementary. This example may not sound risky, but a few years prior, the district had floated the idea that elementary Spanish should be cut to save money, so I came into a position that was potentially on the cutting block."

Though She Be But Little
Although I'm 5'1" I don't consider myself a "petite blogger" or really think of myself as petite person most days. Still every so often you put on a garment and you think, "wow I'm short." This cardigan was one of those items for me. I put it on and wanted to laugh because if I belted it, it would be more modest and long than the majority of my dresses! But sometimes you just can't resist a oversized layer and it is quite comfy. With a tee and jeans it's perfect for lounging around the house, but to go out I definitely feel a need to keep everything else more fitted and sleek.

Literature A Mirror of Life
For your third Individual Project, you will be writing an essay of 1,000 words or more about two additional poems from the assigned reading list. Please select two works from the list of fifteen—excluding the one you already reflected on in Part A of the Phase 3 DB assignment—and answer the questions below. Again, be sure to begin your paper with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement, develop each point in the body of your paper using examples and quotes from the poems, and conclude your paper with a restatement of your thesis and closing remarks. Also, make sure you maintain your credibility by including in-text citations and a reference list correctly formatted in APA style.
1. Imagery: What visual images can you identify in both poems? Comment on the details you notice about objects, places, people, colors, textures and so forth. Which of your other senses are stimulated by the poets’ descriptions?
2. Figures of Speech: List the specific metaphors, similes, puns and other figures of speech each poet uses and how they contribute to the poem’s overall meaning. (Remember, figurative language is not literal but rather suggestive of something else. For example, the metaphor, “Jack is a pig,” is not a reference to an actual animal with hooves but rather someone named Jack who has pig-like qualities or mannerisms.)
3. Symbolism: Identify the symbols you notice in each poem. What abstract concepts (e.g., love, death, truth) might the concrete objects (e.g., persons, places, things) suggest?
4. Language and Word Choice: Every word in a poem has been included (or left out) after much deliberation, as poets choose their words very carefully. Remark on the following in each poem: Does the poet use informal or formal language? Does he or she write in an older dialect or contemporary English? Provide examples.
5. Tone: What tone does each poet take (e.g., sad, humorous, sarcastic, loving, etc.) toward his or her subject matter?
6. Themes: What are the main messages of both poems? Give reasons for your answers.
7. Sound: Read both poems aloud. What do you notice about their rhythms, rhyme schemes and musicality? How does listening to the sound of a poem differ from merely reading it as words on a page?
8. Final Thoughts: Poetry can enlighten and/or evoke deep emotion in readers. Express the impact each of the two poems you have analyzed for this assignment had on you. What insights did you gain about life or human nature, and what feelings did each piece stir in you? Has your view of poetry changed in any way since reading and analyzing the Phase 3 poems? Explain your answer

Chat Freewrite
My world is the chat. I live there. I do what I like and entertain by my antics. People love me. People hate me. Nothing remains hidden but my face and my face is of little consequence. It's a whole new standard--everyone is as beautiful as they wanna be and there's nothing to hide behind--bare soulds, sometimes bare bodies, but likewise, no pressure. they keys asre what we are; the mouse, the pixels. (hex code) Dark Green B! if i choose to exists, -- if no. We don't have to be afraid of what we are, or what anyone else is: don't have to be human (Arno claims to be-- 'course his dragon ass is my fault entirely). I am opposite of my offline self--sleek, fast, gorgeously gatoreyjaws of gaping doom that swallow dead and live and all that exists (except bell peppers, naturally) and oh my yes I am bold, brazen, and brainless. Willing to fall for every last trick, evading by the luick that that comes from one's own imagination: controlled luck beyond the accident roll of a 3 or a 6 in a place that disobeys physics with tragic proportion (pool basement upper floor lower floor balcony meadow rafters turrets stone walls wood walls plaster walls trapdoors shadows bathrooms kitchen roomservice godknowswhat'sintheclosets...)

J.D. Martinez and the Order of the Phoenix
...So J.D. Martinez is hitting 38 home runs this season, and we're gonna ignore that because it's split between two leagues? And don't give me that Cespedes bias. J.D. Martinez showed an insane amount of power in both Detroit AND Arizona, and his home runs are gonna propel the D-Backs further into the postseason than they had any right to. Plus, unlike Cespedes, it wasn't a one-man-effort. Like in Detroit, Martinez worked with a unit and mutually made this team watchable.
As the Dodgers are crumbling in first, the Diamondbacks are playing some amazing baseball, and growing so much as a roster. The star, of course, is Paul Goldschmidt, and maybe this will be the season where he FINALLY gets the respect he deserves. Additionally, performances by Jake Lamb, David Peralta and Ketel Marte are lifting the roster into the conversation, and lifting the lineup into relevance.
After a season of stuttering...Zack Greinke is finally the ace they signed him to be, and he's had another HOF-worthy season of 200 strikeouts and 15+ wins. The fact that they got him in this condition 10+ years into his career is fantastic. Also, Robbie Ray, Taijuan Walker, Zack Godley and Patrick Corbin have been equally impressive, making the Diamondbacks incredibly formidable going into a postseason they'll probably have to enter via the wild card game.
The D-Backs could do some amazing things in the postseason, but they've lost the last few games, and may be catching the same virus the Dodgers caught. If they want into this insane 2017 postseason, they're gonna need to decide how they want their season to end.
Coming Tonight: Won an MVP 2 years ago. He's still an absolute beast, and it's a shame his team isn't.

Shramadana Without Dana
Sharama is a Sanskrit word for labor
Dana is to donate or to give
“Bhai (brother), why take trouble and bring your students and friends here?” Said Min Bahadur. “Just give us 50,000 rupees and we will perform the work that of 100,00 rupees,” he added.
Min Bahadur lives in Bulaki Chaur where we have been visiting for several months now to organize. The village on the hills that surround Kathmandu valley is inaccessible by transportation. The only trail that reaches to the village needed some work, especially at the point where the village begins.
Last week on our visit, we proposed that we fix the trail through shramadana (gift of labor). Villagers agreed, with some hesitation. Several days earlier they had asked whether Sarvodaya Nepal will provide khaja (snacks or food) for the work? We were non-committal but were planning that we would just go to village and beg for a handful of rice or whatever they would offer so we could cook on the spot.
We had also proposed that we would bring several students from Jyotidaya School and some of our friends. So, we can work together.
We had hoped that our action would motivate villagers to come together.
Shramadana isn’t a new word in Nepalese villages, nor is it novel any more.
All development funding either through non-government organizations or government comes with requirement of “community participation.” This basically means that the idea of shramadana is associated with “major funding”. People believe that shramadana is done if some outsiders provide say 75% of funding, rest is a requirement.
Here, we are telling that we have no money. Only thing we offer is our own labor. It sounds both counterintuitive and ‘unbelievable.’ I wonder if villagers think whether we were pocketing tons of money from ‘foreigners’ and using villagers for shramadana for reports.
People are more suspicious of ‘others’ either outsiders or insiders. The one who talks about shramadana must definitely be hiding some funds, they think.
In some ways it’s sad to see thousands of years of wisdom and practice been reduced to ‘volunteer contribution of labor’ to development projects. Practices that brought communities together for years has now been part of development paradigm that leaves community suspicious of each other and reduces a concept of sharing into exchange of labor for funds.
Through Sarvodaya Nepal, we hope to at least bring a sense of ownership of the age old ideas into community themselves.
For now, Shramadana has been postponed for 10 days. Perhaps, fixing of a trail will revive the core of shramadana.

Nepal's Development Regions: Creating an Obstacle to national integration ?
When someone asks me where I am from in Nepal, I often get confused. Geographically speaking Tanahun, where I am from, lies in the middle of the country. Thus, I should say I am from central Nepal. But, because Nepal is divided into five development regions and Tanahun comes under Western development region, I internalized Tanahun as being in the West of Nepal. Today, suddenly a thought emerged, the geographical nomeniculture of development regions, like almost everything in Nepa,l is Kathmandu centric and reflects what state and rulers perceived themselves as. Eventhough Kathmandu is not exactly at the center of Nepal, the development regions are named as though Kathmandu is the center of Nepal. For example, Kathmandu lies in Central Development region and anything east lies in the Eastern region and most of the Nepal is West. By this logic, Nepal has more West than east or center. There are three different variations of West - Western Development Region (Gandaki, Lumbini and Dhaula
Nepal For Hyper Loop Connectivity with India and China
Kathmandu, Nepal In the heels of securing train and water access to India and China and after successfully, disbanding Transportation Cartel in Nepal, Nepal government is planning to implement “HyperLoop” transportation system in near future. According to a highly placed source, Government of Nepal has realized the importance of connecting Asia’s two big and economically growing countries - China and India for prosperity of Nepal. However, current mode of transportation isn’t likely to meet the needs of the future. China and India with world’s largest populations and rising middle class offer Nepal’s best chance to enter an era of unprecedented growth through trade and tourism. “Look, Out of over 2 Billion population in these countries, there are at least 600 million people who could potentially visit Nepal for tourism, however, due to poor infrastructure, distance and cost, it’s very difficult for most people to come to Nepal,” said a tourism official.

विद्यार्थी भर्ना मात्र गर्ने कि टिकाउने पनि !
नेपालमा नयाँ बर्षसँगै नयाँ शैक्षिक वर्ष पनि सुरु हुन्छ। यसैको मौकामा २०७५ साल सुरुवातमै प्रधानमन्त्री केपी शर्मा ओलीले एक जना विद्यार्थी स्कुल भर्ना गर्नुभयो। अभियान सुरु गर्दै सबैलाई नेताहरुलाई कम्तिमा एक जना विद्यार्थी भर्ना गर्न अाव्हान पनि गर्नुभयो। अहिले शिक्षामन्त्री, प्रदेश मुख्यमन्त्रीहरु, वरिष्ठ नेताहरु, सांसदहरु लगायतले विद्यार्थी भर्ना गराइरहेको समाचारले प्रमुखता पाइरहेको छ।संविधानले सबै बालबालिकासम्म शिक्षाको पहुँच निर्दिष्टता गरेको परिवेशमा देशको नेतृत्वले गरेको यो प्रयास सरहानीय हो। तर नीतिनिर्माण तहमा रहेको नेतृत्वलाई यति कदममै रमाउने छुट भने छैन। शिक्षा मन्त्रलाय तथा अन्य अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय संस्थाको तथ्यांक अाधार मान्दा, भर्नाभन्दा पनि स्कुलसम्म पुगेका केटाकेटी त्यहाँ कसरी टिकाउने र गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा कसरी दिने भन्ने अबको धेय हुनु पर्ने देखिन्छ। अब पहुँचमा भन्दा गुणस्तरमा समय र परिश्रम धेरै गर्नु पर्ने देखिन्छ। शिक्षा मन्त्रालय, युनिसेफ, तथा विश्व बैंकका तथ्यांक अाधार मान्ने हो भने, नेपालमा ५-९ वर्ष उमेर समूहका झण्डै ९७ प्रतिशत केटाकेटी स्कुल भर्ना हुन्छन्। यो द

The Requisites of the Perfect Marriage Proposal
The start of a good marriage happens way before the wedding. Of course, this process is unseen to most couples, as they are busy enjoying each other’s company. But throughout the relationship, both parties become accustomed to each other’s habits, personalities, and preferences. They influence each other to a point where they feel like they want to spend the rest of their lives together.
Arrangements for engagement then commence. Ideas for proposals are being drawn up. And the excitement and nervousness waft through the air. Of course, every couple wants their proposal to be a memorable one. There are around 6 .34 million married couples in the United States in 2020. These marriages may have started with a single proposal.
Crafting the Perfect Marriage Proposal
Creating the perfect proposal can be tricky. People are getting more creative with their proposals. And some make their way to social media for everyone to see. This can put pressure on the person that’s about to propose to their partner.
With that, every person with plans of proposing should keep in mind that proposals are personal and entirely subjective. There is no single way to propose to partners. And the perfect proposal is based on the preferences of both partners.
While there is no one way to propose to partners, there are things every partner should do before popping the question. These factors will not only ensure a smooth proposal process, but they can also make it memorable.
Reaching a Consensus
Before any form of a proposal takes place, the couple should have already talked about being together for the rest of their lives. There should at least be a consensus between both parties that there is a possibility of getting married.
This can help gauge the success of the proposal. It also helps the confidence of the person who will propose since they have a better understanding of the other party’s stance on the situation. With that, every couple, especially those who have been in long-term relationships, should take time to talk about the possibility of marriage.
Symbolizing the Engagement
Deciding to symbolize the couple’s engagement can be an important step towards the proposal. The engagement is often symbolized with special material objects that signify the commitment of the two people. Arguably, the most famous of all these objects is the engagement ring.
Getting an engagement ring can help solidify the engagement. Partners can even get a braided diamond engagement ring if they prefer. These rings not only symbolize the engagement between the two lovers but also signify their commitment to one another.
marriage proposal
Informing the Parents
Being married is one of the biggest life decisions a person can make. This major decision should be relayed to the parents of both individuals. This step is usually done by the person who is going to propose.
Letting parents know about the engagement beforehand is simply sharing this exciting moment in the couple’s journey. This can also help the proposer know if the parents approve of the arrangement. Important people such as the parents only deserve to know about the engagement.
Finding the Right Place and Time
Of course, popping the ever-famous “Will you marry me?” line is not as easy as it may seem. Partners who plan to propose should know when to ask this major question. It won’t hurt to plan this in detail.
This question is monumental. These proposals are essentially asking partners if they are willing to be together for potentially the rest of their lives. With that, knowing when to propose can play a huge factor.
But how do you know when is the right time to ask this question? This question can be asked in an environment that is significant to the couple. This can help set the mood for the whole proposal. Apart from that, the proposer has the choice to do this in a public or private setting.
It may be wise to avoid asking this question in a heavily crowded place. The public setting has too many factors to consider, and they may get hard to control. These factors can affect the whole ambiance of the proposal. Doing this in private can help control the situation better. This ensures that the proposal will go as planned and can help set an intimate setting for the couple to cherish.
Planning the wedding is a different story. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the marriage. These all begin with the perfect proposal. With that, every person who wants to take this crucial step in life should try their best to make the wedding proposal an experience worth remembering.

Broadwayworld Dance recently sat down to interview Ms. Tayeh.
How did you book your first job on So You Think You Can Dance? It was just three months after signing with the agency.
After signing with MSA, they asked me what my dreams were. Big question! I gave them a little list, and SYTYCD was the first thing on it. They submitted me and that was that! It's still so crazy thinking about it!
Since that time you've choreographed for Madonna, Florence and the Machine, Kylie Minogue, Kerli and Miley Cyrus? Do you choreograph a different style for each one? What's your process? Do you talk with the performer and then decide how to proceed, or is it something you present to the performer by yourself?
It depends on the artist's needs and desires. We compile ideas, and then I get into the studio and create accordingly. I try to focus on their strengths and push them to try new things. I always have a bunch of ideas, picture references, and media visuals to show them. I love coming up with new ideas to present to them.
You've also worked with the Los Angeles Ballet? How did you adapt your style to the demands of ballet?
My innate style is very dynamic, athletic, and full bodied. Working with the ballet is very exciting because I get to Fuse craziness with their elegance. LA Ballet is so lovely and open to me to push their dancers and give them a challenge. Working on pointe shoes in my work is very difficult, but also pretty awesome!
You've been the choreographer for two musicals: Spring Awakening, which had originally been choreographed by Bill T. Jones, and an original musical, The Last Goodbye. Could you describe the process of choreographing a musical show, since you have so many other factors to contend with when dealing with a musical?
Choreographing for musicals is a very different process--it's based on a script. One must embody the story first before creating the movement. Once I grasp the details, then I create the movement. Honesty in the work is key. Always make sure the story is clear and the movement just glides with the words.
You're also working on an original musical, Kung Fu. Can you tell me a bit more about that?
Kung Fu is the story of Bruce Lee's life. I'm working with the amazing director, Leigh Silverman. She's so lovely. It's a wonderful emotionally driven play with martial arts, Chinese opera, and contemporary dance.
You also teach. What kind of dancing do you teach, and is this for professionals or non-professionals?
I love teaching! I teach at conventions and for many performing arts schools. It's my favorite thing to do. I love building dancers, helping them with their craft. I learn so much about myself when I'm teaching.
You said you'd love to have your work presented at the Joyce? Why there
The Joyce is where some of the most amazing companies perform. I've shed many tears watching dance at the Joyce! It would be a dream to have my work performed on that stage.
You were nominated for an Emmy Award? Your reactions, comments?
A. Being nominated for an Emmy is such an honor! I still can't believe it! To be recognized for my work is so fulfilling. It was very early in the morning when my phone began ringing off the hook. I woke up to a bunch of e-mails and texts saying congrats! I was in shock, so I called my agent. When she confirmed it, I sat on the bed in shock for a long time, and then called my mother crying! I also jumped up and down on the bed for a bit! What a dream-what an honor!

Hanging out with older men at Jongmyo Park
JSyi said...
This is completely besides the point of the post or the Korea Times article, but is it just me, or does the phrasing "Korean-style chess" just sound non-PC? The "-style" just irks me for some reason even if it isn't meant to imply that janggi is any less of a game than chess.
This feeling is separate from the fact that the game (as far as I know) wasn't even invented in Korea. If anything I guess I would expect "Korean chess" or even "Korean-style Chinese chess" to be a more appropriate way to describe the game to an audience that is more likely to be familiar with (Western) chess.

Rep. Adam SchiffAdam Bennett SchiffGreenwald slams Schiff over Biden emails on Fox Hillicon Valley: DOJ accuses Russian hackers of targeting 2018 Olympics, French elections | Federal commission issues recommendations for securing critical tech against Chinese threats | House Democrats slam FCC over 'blatant attempt to help' Trump Federal commission issues recommendations for securing critical tech against Chinese threats MORE (D-Calif.) introduced legislation Tuesday that would restructure the National Security Agency’s phone metadata surveillance program.
Schiff, a senior member on the House Intelligence Committee, unveiled the “Telephone Metadata Reform Act,” which would require the government to request records from phone companies on a case-by-case basis.
This proposal, the congressman says, reflects what a panel has advised President Obama to do on NSA reforms.
“For a long time, I’ve been pushing to have the call records held by phone companies and 'queried' on a case-by-case basis, instead of the government’s collecting vast amounts of domestic phone records,” Schiff said in a statement.
Schiff was one of several lawmakers who attended a meeting at the White House last week to discuss possible agency reforms with Obama.
“My legislation would restore the balance between security and privacy by allowing law enforcement and the intelligence community to access records when needed, but also respecting the privacy of Americans by ending government possession of these vast databases.”
The bill’s introduction, however, comes just a day after Schiff acknowledged it would be difficult for Congress to pass NSA reforms. Some lawmakers say its surveillance operations violate privacy, while others credit the program with thwarting terrorist plots.
Instead, Schiff urged Obama to use as much executive power as possible to reform the intelligence-gathering agency because Congress likely can’t.
MSNBC host Chuck Todd asked Schiff on the “The Daily Rundown” Monday whether Congress could reach an agreement on the issue.
“Very difficult. Very tall order for a very dysfunctional Congress, which is why I think the president is going to need to go as far as he can through the executive process,” Schiff said. “A lot of these things can be done … the restructuring of the metadata program is a significant part by the executive acting on its own.”
President Obama is set to announce his proposed reforms on Friday.

Running Jargon - Trail Shoes.
mikesankey's picture
As the night draw in and the forest gets that bit more muddy, you may find 2 things, firstly the underfoot grip isn’t there, and that lots of people are talking about ‘Trail Shoes’
So what are trail shoes?
Trail shoes are off-road running trainers, generally with slightly less cushioning than usual trainers - This is due to the ground being softer, and the structure of the shoe needing to be more rigid. They can also do short stretches of tarmac, but not as comfortably as a standard road trainer.
In the base of the trail shoe there are studs/cleats. The aims of these are to give better grip and traction over soft and damp terrain. The soles are also thicker to prevent injury from rocks and protruding roots.
You can get fully waterproof trail shoes, but I would advise only going for these if you really need the protection, as not only can water not get it, but perspiration can’t get out, and ventilation is limited to the foot.
You may see offered in running shops ‘Cross Country Spikes’. These are lightweight off-road shoes, with metal spikes in the base. They will give superb grip, but many cross-country races have tarmac or compacted gravel sections that you’ll find yourself skating over in spikes. I would advise avoiding these unless you’d really want to try them.
A decent entry level pair of Trail shoes will cost you around £40, and give good grip when the weather and the ground gets damp.

SOPA opponents may go nuclear and other 2012 predictions
But these companies have yet to roll out the heavy artillery.
True, it would be the political equivalent of a nuclear option--possibly drawing retributions from the influential politicos backing SOPA and Protect IP--but one that could nevertheless be launched in 2012.
"There have been some serious discussions about that," says Markham Erickson, who heads the NetCoalition trade association that counts Google,, eBay, and Yahoo as members. "It has never happened before." (See CNET's SOPA FAQ .)
How many Americans feel a personal connection with an amalgamation named Viacom -- compared with voters who have found places to live on Craigslist and jobs (or spouses) on Facebook and Twitter? How would, say, Sony Music Entertainment, one of the Recording Industry Association of America's board members, cheaply and easily reach out to hundreds of millions of people?
Protect IP and SOPA, of course, represent the latest effort from the Motion Picture Association of America, the RIAA, and their allies to counter what they view as rampant piracy on the Internet, especially offshore sites such as It would allow the Justice Department to obtain an order to be served on search engines, Internet providers, and other companies forcing them to make a suspected piratical Web site effectively vanish, a kind of Internet death penalty.
There are early signs that the nuclear option is being contemplated. Wikimedia (as in Wikipedia) called SOPA an "Internet Blacklist Bill." Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has proposed an article page blackout as a way to put "maximum pressure on the U.S. government" in response to SOPA.
The Tumblr microblogging site generated 87,834 calls to Congress over SOPA. Over at, a move-your-domain-name protest is scheduled to begin today over the registrar's previous--and still not repudiated-- enthusiasm for SOPA . Popular image hosting site Imgur said yesterday it would join the exodus too.
Technically speaking, it wouldn't be difficult to pull off. Web companies already target advertisements based on city or ZIP code.
And it would be effective. A note popping up on the screens of people living in the mostly rural Texas district of SOPA author Lamar Smith, Hollywood's favorite Republican , asking them to call or write and voice their displeasure, would be noticed. If Tumblr could generate nearly 90,000 calls on its own, think of what companies with hundreds of millions of users could do.
If these Web companies believe what their executives say (PDF) about SOPA and Protect IP, they'll let their users know what their elected representatives are contemplating. A Senate floor debate scheduled for January 24, 2012 would be an obvious starting point.
"The reason it hasn't happened is because of the sensitivity," says Erickson, "even when it's a policy issue that benefits their users." He adds: It may happen."
Or it may not. It would change politics if it did.
Other predictions for 2012:
Privacy from above
A few years ago, it would have been something that only the military could afford, but for $300 or so, you can buy Parrot's remarkable AR.Drone quadricopter . In addition to being a technological tour de force that will enrapture any child, it's an iPhone-controlled spy cam and capable airborne surveillance platform.
Which means it and similar aircraft are capable of invading privacy in novel ways -- don't be surprised if the Ed Markey set concocts proposals to somehow regulate or license them. On the other hand, they also offer novel ways to advance government and police accountability.
Journalists and activists are already starting to do just that. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is taking footage of Japan's whaling fleet; Occupy Wall Street has its "occucopter"; CNN has shot aerial footage with a drone. Your 12-year-old neighbor won't be far behind.
Obama fails privacy test
In 2011, the surveillance enthusiasts at the U.S. Department of Justice firmly opposed a proposal from Internet companies and civil liberties groups to enhance the privacy of anyone who owns a mobile device or uses Web-based email. (Cloud computing users currently are second-class citizens: they have more privacy if they store documents on their own hard drive at home.)
The Justice Department's announcement might come as a surprise to anyone who voted for candidate Obama based on his campaign promises at the time. He told CNET in 2008 that: "I will work with leading legislators, privacy advocates, and business leaders to strengthen both voluntary and legally required privacy protections."
Which has yet to happen. If pro-privacy legislation introduced this summer advances, Obama will get to choose between honoring his civil liberties pledge or siding with the surveillance-industrial complex. Given his poor record in this area so far, this is one privacy test he's likely to fail.
Antitrust on the rise
It tends to be far cheaper to pay lobbyists to cripple your rival than compete in the marketplace. A decade ago, Sun, Oracle, and Netscape teamed up to convince the solons at the U.S. Justice Department that arch-enemy Microsoft needed to be lopped off at the knees.
Now Google is a primary target, and Microsoft and its allies are the ones lobbying for some impromptu axe-wielding. The latest round came this week when the Wall Street Journal reported: "Competitors say Google is abusing its power in Web search to gain sway over the $110 billion online travel business."
There's no evidence that Google's Flight Search is harming consumers, which is supposed to be the modern requirement for an antitrust violation. Or that Facebook Credits somehow violates antitrust law, which some activists have claimed . But because bureaucrats build careers on high-profile prosecutions, don't expect that to stop the antitrust aficionados in the U.S. government in 2012.
Anonymous takes on politicians
If 2011 was the Year of the Hackers , 2012 may be the Year the Hackers Upset the Political Establishment.
Anonymous has taken aim, with various degrees of success, at targets including Sony, police, and the San Francisco-area subway system .
The obvious 2012 election-year target: politicians, especially ones supporting SOPA. Sarah Palin's e-mail was hacked in 2008, revealing nothing especially interesting, but the Twitter account of threesome-loving ex-congressman Anthony Weiner proved to be an entertaining read . A recent Reddit thread says it's time to "destroy" a pro-SOPA politician, and suggestions of dubious legality are already surfacing.

WirWenzlaw 1.1
is a FREE FONT. I hope you'll enjoy it.
This is a genuine Bastarda, written at Prague in the year 1400, at the chancery of one Wenzlaw who was king of Bohemia and Roman king. His elixir of life was booze, his first occupation fighting off a brother who tried and retried to have him dethroned for insanity, his favourite pasttime having people drowned in the Moldava, and his only claim at immortality causing thereby the death of a court clerk called John of Pomuk, who afterwards became renowned as a saint. However, it surely wasn't Saint John Nepomuk who wrote the quite innocuous little document this font is based on.
The font is called after the first two words of that document, saying - in German - "We Wenzlaw..."
There is no number sign in this font. In its place, you'll find a long s. Equally, you'll find an alternate d on the bar sign; and the fi and fl sign contain a double p and an alternate v.

Book: Machine Learning for Marketers – a comprehensive guide
Machine learning for marketers guideThe reality is that Machine Learning as a concept is as old as computing itself. As early as 1950, Alan Turing was asking the question, “Can computers think?” In 1969, Arthur Samuel helped define machine learning specifically by stating, “[Machine Learning is the] field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.”
While the concept has been around for more than half a century, we have finally reached a point in technological advancement where hardware and software can actually help developers match their aspirations with tangible reality. This development has led to not only the rise of machine learning and AI advancements, but, more importantly, also advancements inexpensive enough for anyone to use.

USA Marine Kymani Powell pleads guilty to assaulting woman in Landmark Hotel
Police & Courts
Don't miss out on the headlines from Police & Courts. Followed categories will be added to My News.
An American Marine who drunkenly groped a woman in a Territory nightclub has promised to hold his mates to account and prevent future seedy assaults.
Kymani Powell appeared in Darwin Local Court on Friday to plead guilty to unlawfully assaulting a woman at the Landmark Hotel on Roystonea Ave, on April 30.
Prosecutor Marty Aust said the Connecticut man “forcefully groped” his victim, who was unable to defend herself in the popular nightclub.
“This was an uninvited, unwanted intrusion on an intimate area of her body by a stranger,” Mr Aust said.
Defence barrister Mary Chalmers said 21-year-old Powell had struggled with being separated from his family, and was appalled by his own actions.
“It was … an ill-advised lapse in his otherwise exemplary character.”
Chief Judge Elizabeth Morris found him guilty, but did not record a conviction. Powell was also fined $150.
Marine boasted about being ‘trained killer’ before bouncer allegedly knocked him out
A US Marine boasted about being a “trained killer” in the minutes before he was allegedly knocked unconscious by a Darwin bouncer last year, a court has heard.
On Tuesday, venue manager Matthew Hutcheon told jurors in Summers’ trial he had told police on the night that “Hayden slapped the shit out of him” following “multiple threats of physical harm”.
In an incident report annexed to Mr Hutcheon’s police statement, the court heard he also noted Thomason was “threatening his military training and ability to kill”.
“I believe he uttered that he could kill and that he was a trained killer,” he told Crown prosecutor Ian Rowbottom.
the situation went for multiple minutes, there were multiple threats of physical violence
US Colonel James Schnelle is stood down from his job of commanding the largest contingent of Marines ever to rotate through the Top End after being caught drink-driving, a Darwin court hears.
The court heard he failed a random breath test on Darwin's Mitchell Street in the early hours of a Sunday morning late last month.
No conviction was recorded, but the court heard Colonel Schnelle had been stood down from his job of commanding the largest contingent of Marines ever to rotate through the Top End.
Colonel Schnelle is the highest ranking US Marine in Darwin, and is a decorated commander with three service awards.
"This is a man of very high character, he has no convictions anywhere in the world and has contributed immensely to society," Colonel Schnelle's lawyer told the court. "The US Marines are going to deal with him very harshly." His lawyer said any conviction would affect any assignments or promotions he could hope to get in future.
US Marine charged with violent assault returns to Brisbane
A US Marine charged with the violent assault of a female public servant in a car park at Enoggera has had his bail amended to allow him to return to Brisbane.
Taylor Wyatt Elwood, 20, was arrested at Enoggera Barracks in Brisbane's north-west on July 3 after allegedly dragging the woman, aged in her 60s, out of her parked car and assaulting her.
He was further charged with allegedly assaulting an off-duty police officer who intervened, and wilful damage to the woman's car.
The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment of facial injuries and later released. In July Mr Elwood was permitted by the court to relocate to Robertson Barracks in Darwin as part of the US Marine Rotational Unit.
USA Marine bashed woman, 60: court told
A DARWIN-BASED US Marine allegedly disguised himself in a motorbike helmet before dragging a 60-year-old woman from her car and slamming her head into vehicles in the carpark earlier this month.
Court documents allege the woman, who worked at a Brisbane Barracks, was thrown against cars and had her head slammed on vehicles and a steel guard rail while being told “be quiet” as she screamed for help.
Elwood allegedly continued the attack until an Australian Federal Police officer at the Army base heard the woman shouting “no” and “please” and intervened.
The 20-year-old Marine allegedly tried to bite the officer when he tried to help the woman. It took three people to detain the man before he was arrested and granted watchhouse bail earlier this month.
The woman sustained serious injuries, including bruising and cuts.
Marine Rotational Force Darwin spokesman First Lieutenant Jose Uriarte confirmed Elwood remained an “active-duty Marine” despite the charges.

David Winster "Don't ship Canadian beef, Japan to tell U.S." "TOKYO—Japanese Agriculture Minister Yukio Hattori will ask the United States to ban the exportation of Canadian beef bound for Japan via the United States, citing continued concerns over mad cow disease, according to media sources in the Japanese capital. The Japanese request comes in response to the American intention to start importing veal from Canada early next year....According to the sources, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will be requesting that the U.S. start certifying the origin of all its beef products intended for export to ensure that nothing has come from Canada. Both the United States and Japan closed their borders to Canadian cattle and beef products after a single animal was diagnosed with mad cow disease in Alberta last May. The U.S. and Canadian cattle industries were highly integrated up until the mad cow scare. Canada has traditionally sold more than 70 per cent of its live cattle to the United States. As a result of losing export sales to U.S. processors, Canadian Beef to Japan (because of limitations in exporting to Japan), Canadian - affected by cattle producers may be challenged by beef exporters the from Argentina and Australia - two other countries which are international competitors in beef exports. Japanese declines in importing beef may affect the competitiveness of other Canadian meat product exports such as pork or chicken since meat importers usually handle all three of those products. This is a good reminder that sometimes your ability to do business internationally can be effected by the success or failure of other companies in your business sector who are selling slightly different products. Laws and regulations are a consequence of what the Canadian Beef government wants to control, which is a consequence of to Japan politics - meaning what is the government doing, or not - affected by the doing, to maintain the confidence of the people and get Political / re-elected. The Political Environment in this situation is influencing the Canadian Beef exporters through the new regulations that the Japanese government has established. These Japanese regulations (which are a consequence of the Sociocultural Environment - people in Japan fear Mad Cow) will mean that U.S. beef producers cannot send beef products to Japan if some of that beef came from cattle they imported from Canada. Example - frozen hamburger patties manufactured in the U.S. for export to the McDonald's outlets in Japan.
The high value of the Canadian dollar from Q2 of 2003 through to Q3 in 2004 will make it further challenging for Canadian beef exporters to sell their product at a competitive price since importers will have to pay more.distance to travel .

Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want to Read
It's been a long time, friends! But I thought today's Top Ten Tuesday topic (hosted by The Broke and the Bookish) was an interesting one, so it's time to jump into the fun. This week's focus is...
Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want to Read
You know, books you bought but now aren't sure you want, books that get tons of hype and you feel like you SHOULD read them but are kinda iffy about, etc. We've all got books on our lists like that!
1. World Without End by Ken Follett
Several years ago, I read Pillars of the Earth, back when EVERYONE was reading Pillars of the Earth. And it was...okay. I liked it, but it was kind of slow and tedious and OMG LONG. And now I feel like I have to read the sequel...even though I kind of don't want to.
2. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
Or really any David Sedaris book. I read Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim a few years ago, and was so excited to laugh out loud, like everyone told me I would. Aaaaand...I didn't. I just did not get the Sedaris hype at all. I feel like I need to give him another try though, because SO many people adore his work. I'm just not super pumped about giving it a second chance.
3. 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James
I have read just enough excerpts from this book to feel like I can comment on my opinion of it with some authority. (If you are unclear on my opinion, please feel free to go over to the search bar on the right side of my blog, search for 50 Shades, and enjoy the biting commentary that I have shared here over the years.) However, there is a part of me that feels like I should read it, because EVERYONE has read it, and if I'm really going to pan it, shouldn't I read it cover to cover? Even if it might make me die a little inside?
4. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
This is a tough one to admit! I've owned this book (and the next 4 in the series) for something like 5 years now, and never touched them. I bought them because I heard so many rave reviews, how could I not read them? But...historical fiction (especially LONG historical fiction) is really hit-or-miss with me. (See book #1 in this post.) And it's such a long I ready to commit? It all seems so daunting. (Katie from Words for Worms, I see you bursting at the seams over there, please feel free to unleash in the comments.) :)
5. A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin
See: everything I said about Outlander.
6. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
So hard for me to admit! Because everyone knows I just adore Stephen King. However, I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of his books that have a heavy sci-fi bent. Like, Insomnia was kind of painful for me. Even The Stand was a little tough at times (but was saved by the more solid "real life" story of those that survived Captain Trips). King says this series is his magnum opus can I avoid it?
7. Extras by Scott Westerfeld
I read the Uglies trilogy a few years ago, and overall I really enjoyed it. I saw that Extras is a companion novel to the trilogy, taking place after Tally's story is over with a new set of characters. I feel compelled to read it because it's related to the Uglies trilogy...but I'm not sure I'm on board with a totally different protagonist after following Tally for 3 novels. I feel this way about pretty much any "companion" novel to a solid trilogy. Sometimes authors need to quit while they're ahead.
8. MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood
This is book #3 in the MaddAddam trilogy. I read Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood a couple of years ago. I liked them, but didn't love them. Honestly, I read The Year of the Flood because I felt like I had to after finishing Oryx and Crake. Now I feel the same about MaddAddam.
(This post is teaching me that I have a lot of guilt issues to get over regarding my tendency to not finish series.)
9. The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Or pretty much any Philippa Gregory that I haven't already read. Back in 2008, I discovered her work with The Other Boleyn Girl, and got fully ADDICTED. I ripped through a ton of her books and adored them. However, I think it was a case of burnout, because after a while I felt way overloaded on her stuff. A lot of it reads somewhat similarly, so I got a little tired of her material. Since then, I've looked at her other releases with a vague sense of yearning, but also a bit of uncertainty...will I enjoy it, or am I going to think it's too much of the same again?
10. Battle Royale by Koushun Takami
This is described as the Japanese version of The Hunger Games, which is why it's been on my TBR list. It actually came out a few years before HG, but is way, way gorier (so I've been told). Hence my hesitation. I am outrageously curious about this novel, but not quite sure I'm ready for the blood and guts. Same goes for the movie version!
Readers: what books are YOU unsure about reading?

Top Ten Bookish Confessions
Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted each week by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's top ten are your best bookish confessions...oooooh scandalous!
1. I have a VERY difficult time giving up a book once I've started it, even if I really can't stand it. People have told me "life is too short to read bad books," but I still get agita over leaving one unfinished. I actually "gave up" my first two books, ever, this summer, because they were both very long and getting quite painful (1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, and Middlemarch by George Eliot).
2. I gave up on Middlemarch by George Eliot. Book connoisseurs the world over are writhing in agony at this confession. In my defense, I tried to finish it for almost a YEAR!
3. I staunchly resisted the idea of an e-reader for a very long time, insisting that nothing could be better than a real, honest-to-goodness, book-smelling book. Then my darling husband gifted me with a Kindle in May 2011, and I saw the light. Real books are still amazing, but my Kindle is basically a third arm at this point.
4. This is my only confession that borders on criminal behavior, but hopefully the statute of limitations is up. In my book collection are at least 3 books that somehow made their way to my home, but may or may not have originally belonged to my high school. What can I say? We had really good reading assignments in high school, and I didn't have a lot of money for books back then. **hangs head in shame** If Mrs. Roth is reading this, I apologize and beg for mercy in the name of good literature.
5. I won't take the Borders Rewards key fob off my key ring. I CAN'T DO IT.
6. If my son grows up and doesn't enjoy reading for fun, I will probably feel a little bit (a lot?) like a failure.
7. I do not care if people have different reading tastes than I (heck, go forth and READ, I don't care if it's a shampoo bottle), but I have made an exception for 50 Shades of Grey. I've read enough excerpts, reviews, etc. to know what I think of it. And if this ranks up there on your list of favorite books, you can rest assured that I am silently judging you. It's not so much the content (though that's part of it)--it's the writing. 'TIS SO BAD. I could go on about this, but I'll spare you my standard diatribe.
8. There are many things that scare me about death, and one of them is the fact that I have 616 books on my TBR list. There are few moments more depressing than when you realize you will never READ ALL THE THINGS.
9. I have had late library fees exactly twice in my life (both times in the months shortly after my son was born--not a fast reading period for me). In each instance, I brought the book back as soon as I could, and paid the fees that very instant. One time the librarian said, "You know you don't have to pay right now, right?" I said, "YES I DO" with a terrified look of shame, and handed over my 50 cents.
10. I have read while driving in traffic before. (Hey, at least it was heavy traffic...) In the same spirit that Mythbusters tells their viewers not to try this at home, I do not recommend this. Audiobooks are an admittedly safer alternative, but you know, I get desperate if I don't have one available.

Item Description
I. The risk of biochemical ooze
The fast improvement of the economy has prompted a quick expansion in the release of homegrown and modern wastewater, which delivers a lot of slime as a side-effect after treatment in sewage treatment plants. The slime has a mind boggling organization and contains pathogenic microorganisms, parasitic eggs, poisonous and destructive weighty metals and countless hard to corrupt substances, which can without much of a stretch reason optional contamination to the climate if not treated as expected.
II. Channel press treatment of biochemical slop
Biochemical muck can be treated by utilizing hardware, for example, channel presses and dryers to deal with the water through a logical and sensible cycle, making the biochemical slop, which was initially a contamination, into a usable fuel, saving energy and securing the climate, which is an exceptionally well known and significant treatment strategy.
Utilization of biochemical ooze channel press treatment framework
Item depiction
I. Outline of the ooze profound dewatering channel press
With the expanding significance appended to sewage treatment in different nations and the development of new metropolitan sewage treatment plants, the creation of slop is continually expanding and the quick and powerful treatment of ooze involves desperation. Muck has a high water content, contains an enormous number of destructive organic entities like microorganisms and miniature living beings, and has a high substance of weighty metals and natural matter, which can make optional contamination the climate if not treated before release.
Slime dewatering is the primary method for muck decrease, and its decrease impact influences slop transportation and capacity, yet additionally the resulting treatment and removal of ooze in the wake of dewatering.
II. Elements of the muck profound dewatering channel press
In light of the great water content in the channel cake of customary channel presses, Sudong has fostered a unique channel press for profound dewatering of ooze as per the qualities of slime.
This series of channel presses takes on imported high polymer TPE elastomer recipe to create high strain stomach channel plate, the squeezing power can arrive at 3MPa, through the optional squeezing of the sifted mud cake, the water content of the channel cake can be decreased to around 55%. The slop is discarded midway and creatively under the reason of economy, wellbeing and ecological insurance, understanding the “decrease, innocuousness, adjustment and genius” of muck.
D. Application possibilities of the ooze profound dewatering channel press
Because of the high level stomach press innovation, the water content of the channel cake is essentially diminished, by and large the water content of the channel cake is half to 58%, and the channel cake is hard and uneven, so it very well may be straightforwardly landfilled, burned, made into blocks and utilized as green compost without drying treatment, which fundamentally decreases the slop heap site, altogether saves transportation costs, further develops land use effectiveness and acknowledges roundabout economy. The water content of the channel cake is fundamentally decreased, the water removed by the channel cake is altogether diminished, and the separated water can be utilized for water reuse, saving significant water assets. Thusly, the slime profound dewatering channel press will undoubtedly be broadly utilized in the muck dewatering industry.
Item depiction
I. Outline of waterway digging slop channel press
Waterway siltation has progressively impacted the ordinary capacity of flood control, water waste, water system, water supply and route, and so on To reestablish the ordinary capacity of the waterway and advance the fast and maintainable improvement of economy and society, it is important to complete stream digging and digging projects. The waterway will become further and more extensive through treatment, the stream will become more clear and the china filter Press creation conditions and living climate of the majority will be fundamentally improved.
Waterway sediment basically exists as sloppy water with a water content of somewhere in the range of 75% and 90%, which builds the expense of digging per unit channel whenever moved straightforwardly; moreover, sloppy water additionally will in general break in the vehicle way, compromising the traffic climate.
Risks of stream sediment testimony.
II. Qualities of stream digging slime channel presses
The waterway digging slime channel press is utilized for profound dewatering of muck, which can frame a slop channel cake with low water content and accomplish ooze decrease. The waterway digging slime channel press created by Sudong is an energy-saving channel press that can work consistently without the requirement for high power engine energy utilization and can change from fluid to strong and complete the persistent result of mud cake by straightforward substance response and physical and mechanical separating, while additionally meeting the prerequisites of the water content of the channel cake.
After the mud channel press dewatering, the water content of the mud cake can be diminished to around 20%. The mud water is transformed into mud protuberances, which incredibly diminishes the vehicle volume and furthermore works with transportation, lessening the adverse consequence on the climate of the vehicle course. The unified removal and asset use of waterway ooze is accomplished under the reason of economy, wellbeing and natural security, understanding the “decrease, innocuousness, adjustment and resourceisation” of slop.
Four, waterway digging ooze channel press upkeep
Keep the pressure driven framework spotless and clean to forestall breakdown brought about by flotsam and jetsam drenching.
Keep the channel fabric level and badly crumpled during the separating system, and wash the material as suitable.
Continuously take a look at the channel material and supplant or retouch it on schedule assuming that it is broken or spilling. When sewing the channel fabric, remove the breaks and afterward sew the material to forestall covering on the fixing surface and to build the thickness of the channel material.
Consistently infuse oil into the course, soak the drive chain and track and eliminate soil.
Consistently top off the water powered framework, replace the oil and clean the oil channel to guarantee that the pressure driven framework works appropriately.
In the event that the oil temperature of the water driven framework is underneath 1O°C, utilize a warmer to raise the oil temperature.

Prototyping with Silicone
TLDR: It's possible to 3D print silicone-like materials, but you're usually better off casting silicone parts.
For FDM (extrusion type printers) there are several TPE/TPU materials that provide flex, but none that simulate soft/stretchy silicone. Due to the extrusion process, the filament must have sufficient stiffness to prevent buckling in the extruder.
For that reason, extrusion-type printers are limited to high 80-90's Shore A hardness, which is similar to tire/shoe rubber.
In the SLA space, there are several options for low durometer silicone-like materials:
On our Formlabs printers at COVE, we use a Clear resin called Elastic. It's a 50 Shore A hardness, and is quite springy when cured. I like it a lot.It works well for mechanism advance tires, or for pneumatic diaphragms, or quick o-ring samples. We've had luck printing air bladders down to a 0.7mm wall thickness, thin walls are tricky, and dimensional accuracy is not the best.
Stratasys Polyjet technology can approximate the durometer of silicone with their Agilus and Tango material. But neither has the elasticity that silicone is typically known for. It's more stretchy, with a slow rebound. They can approximate rubber overmold or grips.
Both Agilus and Tango come in transparent/amber color and can be colored on the J750/J850 using the multi-material Polyjet technology.
Carbon 3D is printing a medical-grade elastic resin called EPU 41 which is a really neat material. It almost feels like a silicone foam. It only comes in gray. This is great for skin-contact such as bands/soft electronic sensor pads, etc.
Diversified Plastics in Mineapolis has been my go-to for Carbon printing, but the machines have also recently been added to Xometry and Protolabs.
I recently ran across a company called Beamler Additive that's claiming to print in UV-cured silicone, and I'm sure there are more coming every day.
My recommendation: If you need silicone parts FAST, then try one of these printing services, they generally work okay.
If you're making prosthetic adapters, or watch bands, or prototype seals/gaskets, these might work good for you.
But if your geometry requires thin-walls and a lot of flexibility, then I'd recommend printing an SLA mold and casting the parts in silicone. You'll have much better results.
In one week, you could design a mold, print the mold, and cast 40 parts using quick-curing compression mold silicone.

Some of the shit on there is mind boggling.
Here's my 'why woke people are cunts' tweet of the day.
"nothing really offends me," brags the white man, so permeated w/privilege that he actually conceptualizes it as some superior ability to 'rise above' instead of realizing that the color of his skin has afforded him evasion of anything even remotely worth being offended by.
This fucking nonsensical, bigoted bollocks has 62000 likes.
Btw, if you point out the bigotry you get called a racist.

Pregnancy and redundancy
(46 Posts)
sweetandsaltypopcorn Mon 03-Apr-17 18:10:52
I posted this is employment issues but had no response.
Not sure if this is the best place to post this but there is more traffic!
It was announced yesterday to the company that there are going to be redundancies across the company and I am in one of the affected teams.
They haven't announced who will be made redundant yet.
I have only been with the company 18 months and so won't qualify for any redundancy pay.
I'm also 8 weeks pregnant. I hadn't told them yet as obviously wanted to make sure all was ok first but now I don't know whether I should or not. I don't think it'll protect me as such as this was obviously planned a while back and my OH thinks if I tell them now they will use it as an excuse to chose me as I would be leaving anyway and they'd have to pay mat leave.
If I don't say anything and I am chosen. I don't think I'll be able to get another job in time to qualify for smp.
Pretty rubbish times at the moment.
BellyBean Mon 03-Apr-17 18:42:09
What's your notice period and how long do you think the process will take? You qualify for mat pay at 25 weeks if you're still employed. Do you think it'll take that long incl notice period?
Figgygal Mon 03-Apr-17 18:44:35
You would have additional protection from redundancy if on mat leave but not because of pregnancy.
Is the intention to score you against others and reduce team size or remove roles completely?
Figgygal Mon 03-Apr-17 18:45:59
Sorry posted too soon
If you being scored and absence is used as a criteria they would have to remove any pg related absence you may have had so if you have had any might be worth mentioning it to them
AbbeyRoadCrossing Mon 03-Apr-17 18:51:57
Maternity action are good for this sort of thing
Depends how long the process takes. There's usually a consultation period plus your notice should take you to week 25? If not if you've been working you are likely to qualify for maternity allowance
SnookieSnooks Mon 03-Apr-17 18:51:59
I was made redundant while on maternity leave..... company paid me handsomely to not take them to court. I think it is the same situation if you are pregnant, isn't it?
You need some proper advice quickly. Any employment lawyers on here?
MimiSunshine Mon 03-Apr-17 18:53:28
How many people are affected by the announcement?
If it's over 20 then you have to go into a (minimum of) 30 day consultation period before you can be made redundant. 100 people or more it's 45 days minimum.
Have you seen your run your midwife or have your scan booked? If I were you I'd try and get it done as soon as possible. Maybe consider a private scan at 10 wks if it's likely yours is going to be quite late (my friend was over 14 wks by the time of her dating scan due to a baby boom).
Then at least you know where you are with regards to the pregnancy.
With regards to redundancy, are all the affected teams made up of similar roles so is it likely that they'll be reducing the head count and those affected will have to reapply for their role?
Unless the company is going bust they have to st least let you apply for another role in the business if there are any so I'd probably keep quiet for now and hold out for either a longish process or another role you can apply for
Pigface1 Mon 03-Apr-17 18:53:35
I think it's worth mentioning to them.
Your OH is wrong in the sense that they can't 'use it as an excuse' to choose you. You can't be made redundant because you are pregnant. He might be right if he thinks that it will make you a more attractive option for redundancy.
In any event, if you tell them, they will have to be extremely careful to make it clear that they are not choosing you because you are pregnant. Conversely that may put them off choosing you.
sweetandsaltypopcorn Mon 03-Apr-17 20:25:42
Thanks for all of your replies. It's a really bad situation.
There will be about 10-12 redundancies across departments.
I get the impression it will be sooner rather than later.
My notice period is 3 months, however from what I read on the gov website I don't think they have to give me that much notice for redundancy?
I've seen a midwife but that's about it. I haven't had a scan date or anything.
I've had two days off sick this year which was pregnancy related but they wouldn't know that.
I'm not sure what the selection process will be. Knowing the place it will be a popularity contest and who's most 'in' with management.

Sorry to answer the question it's about reducing team sizes not roles specifically
CPParenttoDD1234 Mon 03-Apr-17 20:33:17
I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and was made redundant 3 weeks ago. It's very very stressful I know.
What I would do is explain you are pregnant - as a pregnant woman you are a protected employee and therefore it is harder to make you redundant although not impossible.
If they terminate your contract it's the same notice period so three months which will take you to about 22weeks. So won't qualify for SMP I would drag it out as long as possible to the final consultation and hopefully you will nip in to the beginning of the 25th week
They can not choose you over someone else for pregnancy as it is sex discrimination and will win at tribunal (I'm currently going through this process - it's not great). To be honest the best thing they can do is keep you on simply because you are protected and it's very hard to justify making a pregnant women redundant if a male equivalent or non pregnant women gets the job. So all in all tell them ASAP.
good luck - and don't get stressed as it's not worth it. smile

Using your pregnancy to save tour position, knowing it will mean someone else will loose theirs as a result is really not why maternity protection has been setup.
If you believe you are made redundant because you are pregnant then go for it, otherwise you are being dishonest.

Sunshinegirl82 Mon 03-Apr-17 21:32:16
Employment lawyer here. Would you plan to return to the job after your mat leave op? Just thinking about whether there was any scope for a deal if you volunteer for redundancy? I think I'd be inclined to tell them if things look like they will move quickly. Have they given you any indication as to a time line?
sweetandsaltypopcorn Mon 03-Apr-17 21:36:22
@sunshinegirl - yes I would want to return the plan was always to return. They offered slightly enhanced mat leave pay with you returning to the company.
It sounds like they are conducting meetings over the next 5 days but unsure as to what will actually happen.
I'm worried if I tell them then they will chose me as I would be going off on mat leave anyway.
TotalPineapple Mon 03-Apr-17 21:38:57
I'd tell them, because your two pregnancy related sick days cannot be used against you, but otherwise may be counted against you iyswim.
Sunshinegirl82 Mon 03-Apr-17 21:57:25
There are two ways of looking at it. You can keep quiet and know that whatever decision they make will be unaffected by the pregnancy. If you're not selected all well and good. If they do select you there will be very little you can do about it unless there are errors in the process elsewhere.
If you plan on this option I would try to delay things as much as possible to try and get far enough into the pregnancy by the time you leave to qualify for mat pay.
If you tell them then it will make things a bit more tricky for them. If they do select you it would be possible for you to look to claim that they selected you due to the pregnancy which would obviously be discriminatory. I'm not saying you would actually say this (unless you felt it to be true) but they may fear it and avoid selecting you as a result.
Obviously we don't know how the pregnancy will be viewed by them, they may decide it's worth using this as a "legitimate" opportunity to end the employment relationship and avoid the mat pay issue in spite of the potential risks of a claim by you.
There isn't a "right" answer it's a risk balancing exercise. I think on balance telling them probably gives you more options overall but it's completely up to you.
For what it's worth in the vast majority of redundancies the business goes into the process with a pretty clear idea of who will exit.
How long have the others who are at risk been there? They may consider selecting you because you have less than two years service and so on the face of it cannot bring an unfair dismissal claim. Knowing about the pregnancy may alter this as there is no qualifying period required to bring a claim of pregnancy related discrimination.
cheminotte Mon 03-Apr-17 22:04:52
I would tell them. It gives you additional protection and should put you to the bottom of the list of people being made redundant.
If an entire grade is going it doesn't help but if its a few at each level, you should automatically get one of the available roles.
BusyBeez99 Mon 03-Apr-17 22:13:02
It's pretty poor that if you announce you are pregnant that you are more protected. it shouldn't make any difference. Should be who is up to the job.
contractor6 Mon 03-Apr-17 22:24:06
The OP has had two pregnancy related sick days which could count against her unless she tells them and becomes a protected employee.
BusyBeez99 Mon 03-Apr-17 22:27:29
Then just the two sick days should be dis-counted but everything else should be based on how they all score not that OP is now bottom of list because pregnant.
specialsubject Mon 03-Apr-17 22:50:33
If it is more than a few I'd assume that the company may not last long anyway.
cheminotte Tue 04-Apr-17 07:11:54
Busy if the OP is made redundant before starting maternity leave she will lose her entitlement to maternity pay and find it very difficult to get another job while pregnant. Of course she should be treated differently.
sweetandsaltypopcorn Tue 04-Apr-17 08:16:04
Whilst I don't want special treatment as such I need to protect myself and what will happen given that I am pregnant. I cannot be in a situation whereby I am pregnant and then not eligible to any mat pay. I've gone from being entitled to enhanced mat pay to potentially nothing.
araiwa Tue 04-Apr-17 08:28:49
if you use your pregnancy to avoid redundancy, be prepared for everyone on your team to hate you

As a disclaimer, this post on MAMAMOO’s latest music video “New York” is going to be fairly short for a few reasons. First, your’s truly is feeling a tad under the weather (And cranky. This review MAY* end up reflecting that). Second, “New York” is a pre-release that has all the elements of an appetizer – tantalizing but not exactly fulfilling. Lastly, “New York” doesn’t showcase anything that MAMAMOO hasn’t done before. It’s a fun little video but “New York” isn’t nearly as grand as its title would suggest.
*It most definitely will
To start with the pre-release’s best elements, “New York” is able to find a fantastic balance between its production and its vocalists. The members of MAMAMOO can belt out notes with the best of the genre, so pairing them with a funky, bass driven beat makes sense. The beat wisely doesn’t intrude much on MAMAMOO’s vocal space as horns and snares are sprinkled throughout to provide accentuating points of emphasis rather than to drive the song. A killer bass line acts as the song’s glue. Unfortunately, when “New York” decides to slow things down around the two minute mark, the song loses some of its focus and it never really recovers from there. Moonbyul’s second rap sounds like filler, even by K-Pop standards and it makes the outro feel overly long and anti-climatic. As for the video, it’s about as average as video as one could expect out of a group of MAMAMOO’s caliber. The sets are unremarkable, the video’s shots never wow and the plot, in as much as it exists, doesn’t give MAMAMOO much to do either. The group is able to sell the video as light-hearted fun but that speaks more to MAMAMOO’s talents as pop performers than it does to the actual video’s ingenuity.
In all, “New York” is fine. It definitely works in a “Hey, MAMAMOO exists! Remember how much you love MAMAMOO?!?!” sort of way but “New York” struggles to hold its own free from the context of knowing that, well, it is a pre-release. Hopefully, MAMAMOO has saved up something better as a main course.

$graphLookup sections lack of data/examples
So what the selection of videos cover, the principle is straight forward enough, but there isn’t any collection data to query or code to look at while the video is running, without having to type it all in yourself.
Without any collection data to query, it makes it hard to work out, how the actual data is embedded within the resulting documents. Watching the video, doesn’t really show the all_reports, and how the data is stacked. Is it all flat, or is it embedded within itself, as you flow down the direct_reports.
In the end I went to the documentation and looked at the examples it gave.
EDIT: So I see that the cross Collection Lookup appears to use the air_airlines collection.
The parent_reference and child_reference collections are now available in the aggregations database as well.
José Carlos
Thanks Jose,
This definitely a situation when it’s useful to have multiple things up on the screen at the same time, to see the query, the data structure of the table and the results of the actual query. Unfortunately until we get to part in the video when we narrow down the filter, the shell doesn’t doesn’t show the very start of the results set.

10 Guides for Moving Furnishings
Whether you're relocating or just rearranging, moving heavy furniture is a huge task. Use these simple techniques to move heavy, uncomfortable products without damaging your back, your home or the furniture. How to move heavy furniture on your own-- use your head, not your back.
Bring Tall Products Low and high
A tall dresser, submitting cabinet or shelving system is awkward to handle. Make it a two-person job. Tip the product backwards at an angle and have someone carry the top while the other brings the bottom. This centers the weight and keeps the product from swinging out of control. Transporting the item up or down stairs is simpler too, since the bring angle will roughly match the slope of the stairs.
' Hook' Chairs Around Corners
A big easy chair can be the reverse of simple to move. Follow the example of pro movers and "hook" big chairs around corners. Turn the chair on its side so it looks like an "L" and move it back-first through the doorway. Curl it (hook it) around the door frame and slip it through.
Stand Couches on End
If you ever have to steer a sofa down a hallway and through a door, you might discover it practically impossible to bring it horizontally and make the become the room. Before you get in the corridor, place the sofa on its end and slide it to the doorway. You'll almost constantly be able to hook it through the door. Start the leading away from the door and gain several inches of clearance if it's a bit taller than the door opening.
Shoulder Dolly
Moving and lifting straps (Shoulder Dolly, revealed here, is one type; offered at amazon) take the weight off your back by depending on take advantage of and large muscle groups. They likewise leave your hands free to steer awkward products. They can be difficult to use on stairs because the weight moves completely to the downhill mover.
Raising Straps

The Forearm Forklift Lifting and Moving Straps revealed here are fantastic for carrying on flat surfaces. These and others hump straps are readily available at home centers and online at the main Forearm Forklift shop.
Don't Drag or bring-- Slide.
You can buy furnishings slides in lots of shapes and sizes in the house centers and online. It's likewise simple to make your own sliders from plastic container covers, Frisbees, bedspreads, moving blankets, towels and carpet residues. Use hard plastic sliders for carpets, and soft, cushioned sliders for hard flooring.
Secure Furniture With Blankets and Plastic.
Moving blankets are important for safeguarding the items you're moving as well as your house. Sure, leasing them is cheap, however you can purchase several for simply a few dollars more at house centers or uhaul.com and always have them on hand. To prevent harming the finish and delicate edges of cabinets, tables and other furniture, wrap the products completely with moving blankets and go now protect the blanket with stretch movie.
Make a Mattress Sling.
Attempting to battle a heavy, floppy mattress anywhere is difficult. Many mattresses have manages, but they're not meant for bring. They're in fact made to help you place the bed mattress, so they're not very strong.
Here's a much easier way to carry a bed mattress: Make a basic rope sling that will give you and your assistant a lot more control. Thread the rope through the bed mattress handles. Flip the bed mattress over so the sling is on the bottom and you're on your method.
Cut and Fold a Box Spring.
Is your box spring too big to suit your stairs or around a tight corner? You could buy a "split" box spring created particularly for this (and pay several hundred bucks) or cut your existing box spring and fold it so it fits. There's really a basic, innovative way to cut and fold your box spring without damageding it.
Get rid of the material covering (the most tedious part of this whole process is removing the staples) and position package spring deal with down. Draw back the bed mattress cover along each side and cut through the frame simply to the left or right of the middle crosspiece (don't cut through the crosspiece itself). Do this on both sides and in the center. You can now fold the box spring like a book as shown and move it. Secure it with a strap to prevent it from springing open.
Strategy Where It Lands.
Prior to you move, sketch a floor plan with the correct measurements of each space, determine your furniture and create your layout. As you move things in, you (or your assistants, if you're not there) can position your furnishings in the correct spot and not have to touch it once again.
Do It Right, Do It Yourself!
Take the Withdraw a Reclining chair.
Discover the back brackets on the outdoors or within the back frame. Lift the locking levers on both sides (you may need to use long-nose pliers) and move the back directly to eliminate it from the reclining chair. Constantly raise a recliner chair from the sides, not by the back or footrest. Connect the footrest in place so it doesn't spring open.
Take Apart What You Can.
When you're lugging a sofa through a doorway, remember: You can constantly make it a couple of inches smaller sized by eliminating the feet. The exact same concept applies to any piece of furniture you have to make sleeker or lighter: Remove any and Source all knobs, drawers, legs, racks and racks.
Remove Your Door Stop Molding.
Sometimes, an extra 1/2 in. is all it requires to survive an entrance. If eliminating the door doesn't open up adequate space, pry off the door stop molding. That will provide you another 3/4 in.
Ramp It Up (and Down).
The Lower Arm Forklift Lifting and Moving Straps shown here are great for moving on flat surface areas. Moving blankets are important for protecting the products you're moving as well as your house. To avoid damaging the finish and delicate edges of dressers, tables and other furnishings, wrap the items totally with moving blankets and secure the blanket with stretch movie.

An easy Kakuro puzzle
Solution for the above puzzle
Kakuro or Kakkuro (Japanese: カックロ) is a kind of logic puzzle that is often referred to as a mathematical transliteration of the crossword. Kakuro puzzles are regular features in many math-and-logic puzzle publications across the world. In 1966,[1] Canadian Jacob E. Funk, an employee of Dell Magazines, came up with the original English name Cross Sums [2] and other names such as Cross Addition have also been used, but the Japanese name Kakuro, abbreviation of Japanese kasan kurosu (加算クロス, "addition cross"), seems to have gained general acceptance and the puzzles appear to be titled this way now in most publications. The popularity of Kakuro in Japan is immense, second only to Sudoku among Nikoli's famed logic-puzzle offerings.[2]
The canonical Kakuro puzzle is played in a grid of filled and barred cells, "black" and "white" respectively. Puzzles are usually 16×16 in size, although these dimensions can vary widely. Apart from the top row and leftmost column which are entirely black, the grid is divided into "entries"—lines of white cells—by the black cells. The black cells contain a diagonal slash from upper-left to lower-right and a number in one or both halves, such that each horizontal entry has a number in the black half-cell to its immediate left and each vertical entry has a number in the black half-cell immediately above it. These numbers, borrowing crossword terminology, are commonly called "clues".
The objective of the puzzle is to insert a digit from 1 to 9 inclusive into each white cell such that the sum of the numbers in each entry matches the clue associated with it and that no digit is duplicated in any entry. It is that lack of duplication that makes creating Kakuro puzzles with unique solutions possible. Like Sudoku, solving a Kakuro puzzle involves investigating combinations and permutations. There is an unwritten rule for making Kakuro puzzles that each clue must have at least two numbers that add up to it, since including only one number is mathematically trivial when solving Kakuro puzzles.
At least one publisher[3] includes the constraint that a given combination of numbers can only be used once in each grid, but still markets the puzzles as plain Kakuro.
Some publishers prefer to print their Kakuro grids exactly like crossword grids, with no labeling in the black cells and instead numbering the entries, providing a separate list of the clues akin to a list of crossword clues. (This eliminates the row and column that are entirely black.) This is purely an issue of image and does not affect either the solution nor the logic required for solving.
In discussing Kakuro puzzles and tactics, the typical shorthand for referring to an entry is "(clue, in numerals)-in-(number of cells in entry, spelled out)", such as "16-in-two" and "25-in-five". The exception is what would otherwise be called the "45-in-nine"—simply "45" is used, since the "-in-nine" is mathematically implied (nine cells is the longest possible entry, and since it cannot duplicate a digit it must consist of all the digits from 1 to 9 once). Curiously, both "43-in-eight" and "44-in-eight" are still frequently called as such, despite the "-in-eight" suffix being equally implied.
Solving techniques[edit]
Combinatoric techniques[edit]
Although brute-force guessing is possible, a more efficient approach is the understanding of the various combinatorial forms that entries can take for various pairings of clues and entry lengths. The solution space can be reduced by resolving allowable intersections of horizontal and vertical sums, or by considering necessary or missing values.
Those entries with sufficiently large or small clues for their length will have fewer possible combinations to consider, and by comparing them with entries that cross them, the proper permutation—or part of it—can be derived. The simplest example is where a 3-in-two crosses a 4-in-two: the 3-in-two must consist of "1" and "2" in some order; the 4-in-two (since "2" cannot be duplicated) must consist of "1" and "3" in some order. Therefore, their intersection must be "1", the only digit they have in common.
When solving longer sums there are additional ways to find clues to locating the correct digits. One such method would be to note where a few squares together share possible values thereby eliminating the possibility that other squares in that sum could have those values. For instance, if two 4-in-two clues cross with a longer sum, then the 1 and 3 in the solution must be in those two squares and those digits cannot be used elsewhere in that sum.[4]
When solving sums which have a limited number of solution sets then that can lead to useful clues. For instance, a 30-in-seven sum only has two solution sets: {1,2,3,4,5,6,9} and {1,2,3,4,5,7,8}. If one of the squares in that sum can only take on the values of {8,9} (if the crossing clue is a 17-in-two sum, for example) then that not only becomes an indicator of which solution set fits this sum, it eliminates the possibility of any other digit in the sum being either of those two values, even before determining which of the two values fits in that square.
Another useful approach in more complex puzzles is to identify which square a digit goes in by eliminating other locations within the sum. If all of the crossing clues of a sum have many possible values, but it can be determined that there is only one square which could have a particular value which the sum in question must have, then whatever other possible values the crossing sum would allow, that intersection must be the isolated value. For example, a 36-in-eight sum must contain all digits except 9. If only one of the squares could take on the value of 2 then that must be the answer for that square.
Box technique[edit]
A "box technique" can also be applied on occasion, when the geometry of the unfilled white cells at any given stage of solving lends itself to it: by summing the clues for a series of horizontal entries (subtracting out the values of any digits already added to those entries) and subtracting the clues for a mostly overlapping series of vertical entries, the difference can reveal the value of a partial entry, often a single cell. This technique works because addition is both associative and commutative.
It is common practice to mark potential values for cells in the cell corners until all but one have been proven impossible; for particularly challenging puzzles, sometimes entire ranges of values for cells are noted by solvers in the hope of eventually finding sufficient constraints to those ranges from crossing entries to be able to narrow the ranges to single values. Because of space constraints, instead of digits some solvers use a positional notation, where a potential numerical value is represented by a mark in a particular part of the cell, which makes it easy to place several potential values into a single cell. This also makes it easier to distinguish potential values from solution values.
Some solvers also use graph paper to try various digit combinations before writing them into the puzzle grids.
As in the Sudoku case, only relatively easy Kakuro puzzles can be solved with the above-mentioned techniques. Harder ones require the use of various types of chain patterns, the same kinds as appear in Sudoku (see Pattern-Based Constraint Satisfaction and Logic Puzzles[5]).
Mathematics of Kakuro[edit]
Mathematically, Kakuro puzzles can be represented as integer programming problems, and are NP-complete.[6] See also Yato and Seta, 2004.[7]
There are two kinds of mathematical symmetry readily identifiable in Kakuro puzzles: minimum and maximum constraints are duals, as are missing and required values.
All sum combinations can be represented using a bitmapped representation. This representation is useful for determining missing and required values using bitwise logic operations.
Kakuro puzzles appear in nearly 100 Japanese magazines and newspapers. Kakuro remained the most popular logic puzzle in Japanese printed press until 1992, when Sudoku took the top spot.[8] In the UK, they first appeared in The Guardian with The Telegraph and the Daily Mail following.[9]
A relatively common variant of Kakuro is Cross Products (or Cross Multiplication), where the clues are the product of the digits in the entries rather than the sum. Dell Magazines has produced such puzzles but also allowed repeating of digits aside from 1 because of space limitations in the number of digits in each product in a puzzle. Puzzles by Games Magazines are more like crossword puzzles, allowing the implementation of the no-repeating digits rule.
Another variant is having a different range of values that are inserted in the cells, such as 1 to 12, instead of the standard 1 to 9.
A genuine combination of Sudoku and Kakuro is the so-called "Cross Sums Sudoku" in which clues are given as cross sums on a standard 9 x 9 Sudoku grid. A relevant variant is the so-called "Cryptic Kakuro" where the clues are given in terms of alphametics and each number represents a digit from 1 to 9.
The final puzzle of the 2004 United States qualifier for the World Puzzle Championship is titled Cross Number Sums Place: it is a Cross Sums where every row and column of the grid (except the top row and leftmost column as usual) contains exactly nine white cells, none of which—even across multiple entries—are allowed to use the same digit twice, like a Number Place (Sudoku); in addition, small circles are printed on the borders between some white cells; numerically adjacent digits must be placed astride those circles, and may not appear orthogonally adjacent when not astride a circle.

Let’s get fat together
I am at my desk when you come in, and flutter down onto my bed. Your dress spreads out like a squashed balloon. I get the impression that I was meant to be somewhere today. But as I do, I get caught up in my work.
You look over the large fruit bowl on the coffee table in the middle of the room. Selecting carefully an apple from the pile. I can hear crunching as you enjoy a few bites, covering your mouth with a finger as you chew.
“So are we going to do this?” You say.
I look up, swing my chair around. Before taking a final look at my work. I pick up a piece of fruit in answer to your question.
Personal space
I’ve been here twice, I perceive you as nice. You wont go away, so come here and stay.
Your love not a waste, small cut to shape. Jet black and white. Project your voice as I hold you tight. Mixed up in your personal space.
Submit to me at the end, I swear I’ll be nice.
A purpose for me is written in you.

Tarot Cards
The last card in the major arcana is "The World". The World card symbolizes a time of achievement and the integration of all that has been learned so far on your journey. It is the successful completion of the goal that was started in the fool stage. It is an ending and a beginning for we continue to learn and to grow. Therefore the World once again becomes the fool for the next lesson, the next goal and the next phase of growth. The path of growth never ends.
May the Divine guide your footsteps along your path.
The World
This crystal is Dumortierte. Dumortierte is an excellent crystal to carry if you tend to be the excitable type. It can greatly help to reduce excitability. It is also helpful in removing stubborn attitudes. Dumortierte is another crystal known to increase a person's patience. If you have trouble communicating your own spiritual ideas Dumortierte is a great crystal to help release any un-ease you can feel. It will allow you to express your spirituality openly and clearly.
This crystal is Kyanite. Kyanite is an excellent crystal for whatever purpose draws it to you. Kyanite is a rare stone in that it will never require cleansing to remove negative energy, as it will not store or accumulate energy. Kyanite automatically aligns all of the chakras and their energies. It can induce a state of tranquility and bring about a calmness within the whole body.
Sacred Space
Creating a Sacred Space
Everyone needs a sacred space of their own. It's a place of sanctuary in your own home. It's a place without clutter, a place of quiet, a place away from the demands of a hectic lifestyle and a place to call within for your higher self. Sacred spaces do not have to be elaborate undertakings. They can simply be a corner of a room that is reserved for meditation and quiet contemplation.
Sacred spaces can contain items that you deem necessary for a successful meditation. An alter is a good place to start. It can be as simple as a shelf or as elaborate as you wish. Having an alter allows you to have something to focus on. Place candles, incense, images of the divine or items that remind you of your life path or goal on the alter. Allow a space in front of it for your cushions, chair or meditation bench.
Once your sacred space feels right, smudge the area and ask the elemental guardians and the Divine to cleanse and keep the area sacred and safe. Whenever you add something to your space it should also be smudged.
Mantra Meditations
Mantras are a very popular and very old form of meditation. Mantras have been used in the far east for centuries. Mantras are simply the repetition of words and syllables to create vibrations in the body. The vibrations resonate through the body, re-aligning the body's energy and creating harmony. When the body is in a state of harmony it opens up the senses to receive messages from the higher self, problems can be resolved, solutions found and a new sense of well-being can come to be.
The most common mantra is "Ohm" and when said the length of tone used for the "Oh" should be as long and the length of tone used for the "M". Sit in a comfortable position and prepare your body as you would for any other type of meditation. Sit comfortably and breathe deeply a few times. Let your mind clear of all but the mantra you wish to use. Slowly start the mantra and begin to feel it reverberate through your body.
If you have mantra beads each repetition is represented by a bead. Try to complete the number of mantras on your mantra beads. Normally mantra beads are in a loop totalling 108.

Conservation of Luck
At the start of the game show Jeopardy, Alex Trebek often wishes the contestants “good luck to all three of you”. Which got me thinking…
Isn’t good luck for one contestant bad luck for the others? If one is lucky enough to get a category they’re familiar with, isn’t that bad luck for the others?
This leads to the supposition that “the total amount of luck in a closed system remains constant”, similar to the idea of conservation of energy. A corollary might be that the total amount of luck in a closed system is zero.
Of course, we have to be careful about the boundaries of our “closed system”. If all three contestants have bad luck and win very little money, isn’t that lucky for the person who has to pay out the prize money?
I might feel incredibly lucky that I dodged that bread truck and didn’t get run over, but isn’t that stroke of good luck offset by the bad luck for the undertaker, and the guy who makes his living fixing dents in bread trucks?

Spontaneous anti-war resistance on campuses nationwide
In remembrance of the students who came before us
This effort is being supported by:
1. Where is the student resistance happening?
2. Who is organizing it?
Each of us.
3. Who is the leader?
See answer to 2.
In this morning's New York Times, Tim Arango reports that Nouri's refusal to bring the Sahwa into the process is frustrating many Sunnis. Sahwa aka "Awakenings" aka "Sons Of Iraq" are Sunnis who were paid by the US military not to attack the US military or the US military equipment. These payments are credited by many -- including Gen David Petreaus and former US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker -- for diminishing the number of attacks on US forces. Nouri was supposed to absorb the Sahwa but despite the press repeatedly announcing he had or he was going to, that never really happened. Arango reports Sahwa was not able to promote a united front in the March 7th elections and are feeling further unmoored:
Now, under threat from insurgents they once battled and facing a government they say has not kept its promise to give jobs to the fighters, the Awakening seems to be a force whose strength is waning, as it looks for a way to cling to any rung of power it can. Some wonder if this is the beginning of the end of the Awakening.
The ramifications could be stark. Most worrisome would be an increase in violence, should disenchanted Awakening fighters become insurgents again. Whether Mr. Aiffan and others accept their electoral defeat and go quietly is a question that could determine how peacefully power changes hands here.
On the topic of the elections, we'll note this from Jane Arraf's "Iraq election: Baghdad recount begins with a hitch" (Christian Science Monitor):
Just hours into the start of a recount expected to take up to two weeks, officials from Mr. Maliki’s State of Law coalition moved to try to force the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) to examine the voter records and check voters’ signatures against their ballots in addition to re-checking more than 2 million votes. The IHEC quickly rejected Maliki's newest complaint.
The recount has been widely seen as an attempt by Maliki to delay certification of election results that gave his slate two fewer parliamentary seats than leading coalition Iraqiya and weakened his chances of heading a coalition government. Both the United States and the United Nations said the voting process had been credible.
Meanwhile Nouri al-Maliki and his Whores among the press corps are trumpeting the claim that the 'network' being the April 4th bombings while tossing in as an aside that a supposed suspect "was later reported to have died in detention." Of the Ebola Virus? Nouri runs torture cells and forces fake confessions and his pay off is that a number of Press Whores repeatedly pimp his claims as facts -- despite the fact that his abusive relationship with the truth is well known.
Two Circles Net is reporting something the Press Whores aren't, "Iraqi authorities have started the construction of a security wall around the capital Baghdad, reports the country's Al-Iraqiya TV citing a Baghdad security spokesperson. The concrete wall with eight checkpoints is to be completed in mid-2011." Apparently Nouri's one-time hope for a moat around Baghdad is no more.
Reuters notes a Mosul car bombing injured thirteen people and 2 Baghdad sticky bombings injured three people and claimed 1 life.
Surveying the landscape domestically in the US, Chris Hedges concludes "No One Cares" (Information Clearing House):
Liberals, who failed to grasp the dark intentions of the corporate state and its nefarious servants in the Democratic Party, bear some responsibility. But even an enlightened liberal class would have been hard-pressed to battle back against the tawdry emotional carnivals and the political theater that have thrust the nation into collective self-delusion. We were all seduced. And we, along with thousands of innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and beyond, will all be consumed.
No, Chris, it's not that easy. I won't sweet talk it. I'm not going to blame the people but I'll be damned if the Liar Class gets off. The Liar Class like Tom Hayden (who got real bitchy about Chris in 2008 because Chris wouldn't hop on the Obama float) who pretended to give a damn about the Iraq War but dropped it like a hot potato. The Liar Class which includes a large number of WHORES that Chris is praising. CODEPINK? What a laugh. Trina addressed that last night. David Swanson? You mean "KILL HILLARY" David Swanson? You mean the lying sack of s**t who did everything to pimp Barack and now wants to act as if he didn't s**t himself all through 2008?
Not in the mood, not in the damn mood. Jeremy Scahill? Really? We're going with F.S. Scahill? Mr. Scat? We're going with him? The little liar who insisted that the Dem candidates should make a pledge re: Mercenaries. What happened there? Barack refused to (and War Hawk Samantha Power used her questionable wiles on Scahill) but Hillary did promise. So Jeremy savaged Hillary. Yeah. Scahill's a joke and has made himself that.
The liars who got us into the current situation cannot get us out of it. Grow up, Chris. The peace movement's rebuilding and doing so just fine without all the lying whores of 2008. Those people don't need to be let back in. What kind of an idiot would let them back in? We're two years away from a presidential election! Of course those whores want back in so they can try to manipulate the movement again. All of them exposed themselves and none of them are getting back in. It's not up to me. And it's not up to Chris. It is up to the youth of America and speak to any campus and you'll quickly discover those who care about ending the illegal wars are very aware that Tom Hayden whored, that Leslie Cagan whored, that Joan Baez whored, that CODESTINK whored, . . . The list never ends because there are so many of them.
Students take the lead today. World Can't Wait issues the following press release on the actions:
This Tuesday, May 4, 2010 students on high school and college campuses nationwide will take a decisive stand against the war machine.

This and That
rock taco flavored doritos because rock tacos are delish. so it turns out they are supposed to be be rock taco flavored as in rock and roll. should have named them rockin' taco or rock and roll taco or something. it's amazing the money that goes into things here without running it by an english speaker first.
this looks a lot like a stoli bottle
i was tickled pink to find this new addition to my bu lao hu family.
i also got this peking opera bottle opener.
i've been eating a lot of 7-11 food lately because its around the corner from my apt. I love that place. this is what a normal haul looks like. rice triangle seaweed things, water, and soybean/mungbean drinky drink.
i made this mooncake at my chinese class party mooncake party but you have to bake it in the oven and i didnt feel like doing that so i left it for some lucky guy on his bike seat.
there is this awesome cheap dumpling place on the opposite corner from my apt. they make these mini baozi things and it's 5 rmb for a tray of 10 of them (70 cents).
the bowls at the california noodle house feature "mr. lee" starring back at you for your whole meal.
had a drink at this new club which sucks.
these tiles are in the bathroom of my apartment. are they some kind of biblical story? anyone know?
view from my balcony
donut shop on the way to my chinese school
doing laundry is an experiment since i can't read this
took my 2 days to dry my clothes too because i didn't knwo what was going on.
chinese class mooncake making party
they sang songs, which is normal thing i guess.
and were handing out smoked spicy chicken necks like candy. in fact they were in the same bowls with all the candy. i tried one and when you open it up there is that same gelatinous ooze that cames ontop of a can of spam. yummy.
i was excited that theses asahi's were onlyl 15 rmb but it was too good to be true. they are brewed in china which is why they are so cheap which is why there is almost no carbonation and no glorious foam.

things coming out of closets
fallen bones
the scared ones
the bones i clinged to
(flesh hugging tentacles)
now sacred
falling like drum-syllables
to step-over in crooked mazes
are they mine or yours?
are they mine or yours?
and the teeth fell last
the ones that didn't part to say Anything
the ones
that didn't clomp together like cymbals
to Pronounce
Words Of Love
Like Goodbye, for a reason
take it slow.....
the bones were used for chopping off things
human saws, parting ways through, the quickest
eventually dissolving into sponges
fallen spores
whisper dust of the stuff that used to make us
so real and solid
(i whispered this week for you
and i
when i wanted to yell
finally surfacing
when i can no longer say it:
real as bones
and as impermanent)

Drain lines going through gardens can get impacted by tree roots, which can then harm the pipelines or lead to clogs. Mud and lawn waste can accumulate in drains and develop into obstructions that have to be cleared. Environmental technology Sterling
Locating Blockages
While sinks are quickly cleared with making use of plungers or other cleaning products, it is when the clog leads to sewage systems and drain lines that you have to hire the experts. Many business which do this sort of work have rodding equipment that helps eliminate the blocks and enable clogged up product to be cleared. But before use these, they need to study the scenario and identify the issue, so that they can come to the right solution for the ills impacting that blocked drain. They will initially comprehend the design of all the plumbing, the source of the drainage, and the fixtures that are impacted by the stopped up line. They will then identify the place of the block, and how it can best be approached. Where this is not easily determined, they will open up manholes to help in determining the place. Where drains are not accessible, they might even lower electronic camera devices that can lead them to take a look at the inside of the sewage system to spot the offender area.

This distance is noted, and the cutter is once again extracted and sent through once again to see if any other hard areas are present and need cleansing operations. The resulting debris has then to be drawn out and examined to determine its nature. The existence of wood may indicate tree roots and the property owner will be asked to do something about it to prevent recurrence of the problem.

Drain Rodding

This typically results in the areas of drain rods and screwing themselves and ending up being stuck in the drain you are trying to tidy and become lost for ever and you needing to pay the expenses of the lost devices. This is probably the most significant reason most people would rather higher a pipes business to do the rodding for them. Related:Where Are Pimlico Plumbers Based Sterling
What You Need To Know If You Smell Sewer Gases Sterling
Modern plumbing has a variety of techniques for keeping sewage system gasses out of a house. Among the most popular is the P trap. P traps are extremely important due to the fact that drain gasses can be harmful to your health along with odor bad.
The P trap effectiveness at trapping sewer gasses is all due to its design. It starts by going strait down from the drain, then it has a p shaped bend on the bottom, and it ends with a horizontal pipe after it curves up. This p shaped bend is indicated to trap a little water in the pipe. This water imitates a barrier, keeping any sewer gasses from getting in the room.
P traps are usually discovered in bathrooms on any drain that causes the drain. This includes showers, sinks, and flooring drains. Toilets utilize a modified P trap described as an S trap that is indicated to make sure that all wast leaves the toilet while leaving some water to block the gasses.
If you smell sewage system gas in a space with a P trap, it is most likely that the trap is empty of water. to check this you have to do is shine a flashlight at it. If it does not show back, it is empty and you must include some water to refill it. If this does not work then you may have to call a plumber to fix the P trap or another pipe.
If sewage system line clogs repeat within a short time of the rodding operations, it can show other issues that might not be quickly fixed by this operation. It would then be needed to identify the entire network, user habits and other reasons that do cause drain blockages. Sometimes, it may be necessary to replace a sewage system to get a long-term service. Luckily, nowadays there are companies that can undertake this operation through trench-less replacement of pipelines, so that the work is done without any inconvenience to the property owner.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I just started using tmux, and I really like it, but I need to be able to scroll within the buffers/panes/windows I have open. I don't care if it works with the mouse or not. When I search the tmux man page, I find only two instances of the word "scroll" even showing up, and both have to do with copy mode. Is there a way to scroll without all the overhead of entering copy mode?
share|improve this question
What overhead are you concerned with? copy-mode is the way to view history (and optionally copy stuff out of it). – Chris Johnsen Nov 11 '10 at 5:48
for me you can press f7 for scroll mode and q to quit – JohnMerlino Jul 25 '14 at 14:56

Ctrl-b then [ then you can use your normal navigation keys to scroll around (eg. Up Arrow or PgDn). Press q to quit scroll mode.
Alternatively you can press Ctrl-b PgUp to go directly into copy mode and scroll one page up (which is what it sounds like you will want most of the time)
You can also scroll up/down line by line using Shift-k and Shift-j (if you're already in scroll mode).
share|improve this answer
I think C-b = is choose-buffer by default. Did you mean C-b [ (which is copy-mode by default)? Also you can also use C-b PageUp to start copy-mode directly on the previous page (very handy when you know what you want to view/copy has already scrolled off the current page). – Chris Johnsen Nov 11 '10 at 5:55
Correct, my tmux has no scroll-mode. You need to C-b [ to enter copy mode and then use either the emacs or vi key-bindings to scroll around. This seems like a lot of steps just to scroll, but the benefits of tmux still outweigh these annoyances. I'm on a macbook and there is no PageUp key :-\. (Also, how do I make keys with markdown like you did, Dennis?) – chadoh Nov 11 '10 at 17:11
@chadoh: Try these on your Macbook: Home: fn-LeftArrow; End: fn-RightArrow; Page Up: fn-UpArrow; Page Down: fn-DownArrow. To make keycaps: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> – Dennis Williamson Nov 11 '10 at 18:43
on macbook, the fn+up goes straight to terminal app and never hits tmux – Tyler Apr 11 '11 at 17:57
On a macbook if you're in scroll mode you can use fn+Shift+LeftArrow to scroll up a page. – Nick Hammond May 18 '13 at 17:51
From my .tmux.conf:
# Sane scrolling
This enables native xterm scrolling.
share|improve this answer
Can you explain what this does exactly? – Ivo Oct 31 '11 at 6:25
I don't know what it does, but it is pure genius. Finally, tmux scrolling works, yay! – oneself Nov 28 '11 at 21:26
This doesn't work for me on OS X... – Nick Apr 17 '12 at 13:56
Solution: gist.github.com/1297707 – Nick Apr 17 '12 at 15:25
Check this out if you're confused about togdon's answer: superuser.com/questions/310251/… IMO, if you have only a single pane, this solution works better than the accepted answer. – thameera Apr 16 '13 at 7:48
Well, you should consider the proper way to set scrolling: add in your tmux.conf
set -g mode-mouse on
It worked for me in windows and panes. Now tmux is just perfect.
Practical tmux has more info on tmux.conf files.
share|improve this answer
When I do this, mouse clicks and scrolls cause gibberish characters to be printed to the prompt area of the terminal I'm using with tmux. Any ideas? – Mr. F Aug 1 '13 at 15:38
This works great for me. Now if only we can figure key bindings to do the same (maybe a screen at a time), I'll be a very happy camper. – Jonathan Hartley Nov 4 '13 at 9:45
Future tmux mouse users: To save you having to scroll to the bottom again before typing, you can hit q to exit scroll mode. – Jezen Thomas Jan 7 '14 at 5:11
This is great :-) Thanks! – gosukiwi Mar 11 at 18:17
Mouse scrolling works fine with this, but unfortunately I cannot use the mouse to select text anymore. Using Tilda and tmux. – friederbluemle Mar 17 at 3:40
This is the way I made it work, and the reasons why I think it is better than the default way.
To try it out, put all the code sections in ~/.tmux.conf.
Step 1. Change the prefix key so you won't have to reach one bit. 'B' is seemingly a close key, but it is in the middle of the two index fingers (at 'F' and 'J', respectively). Because that shortcut is essential in tmux, C-j is much better as it involves zero hand movement (apart from hitting the key).
set -g prefix C-j
unbind C-b
bind C-j send-prefix
Step 2. 'S' (to enter copy-mode) is: 1) close (same reason as above), 2) involves the other hand (compare: the 1-2 in boxing, or the ls command to view files in a directory), and 3) could be thought of as mnemonic for "scroll" (although the copy-mode isn't just about scrolling).
bind s copy-mode
Step 3. The last part, the actual scrolling. 'P' and 'N' are familiar for this purpose to the Emacs users. They are close, intuitive ('P' is above 'N' on the keyboard), and mnemonic ("previous" and "next"). If you just did some scrolling in Emacs, and then go to tmux, it makes sense to have those shortcuts.
However, I found that 'I' and 'K' are even better - they are even closer than 'P' and 'N', and intuitive (for the same reason); as for mnemonics - as scrolling is such a common thing to do, mnemonics won't really matter as the shortcuts will soon bypass your brain and enter the muscle memory.
bind -t emacs-copy 'p' scroll-up
bind -t emacs-copy 'n' scroll-down
bind -t emacs-copy 'i' scroll-up
bind -t emacs-copy 'k' scroll-down
share|improve this answer
In my case, just opt + UpArrow and opt + DownArrow on OSX.

@fixer1234 The question does not mention Linux at all. tmux can be used on OS X, too. – slhck Apr 17 at 11:51
@slhck: Thanks. Too bleary-eyed; astigmatism kicked in. I had misread the tmux tag as a linux tag. – fixer1234 Apr 17 at 16:07

Map #5: September 12, 2016
Difficulty Level: 6
Click here for a full-size version of this week’s map.
This map is a cartogram of the countries of the world. (Do you need a refresher on what a cartogram is? Visit our “Basics” page for a quick primer.) On this map, each country’s size is proportional to a particular statistic. Note that the colors on this map are not relevant; they are only there to make it easier to tell which country is which. Your job for this week: figure out what statistic is represented by this cartogram
Stumped? Check back Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for hints about where to focus your investigation. The answer will be posted on Monday, September 19. Good luck!
This week’s cartogram has a couple of curious features that you should ignore. The algorithm used to make it had to enlarge a few countries disproportionately because of their neighbors. For example, Bosnia and Herzegovina should appear smaller than it does, but there would have been no way to make it smaller while preserving the correct size for Croatia and Serbia, which are both (correctly) fairly large on this cartogram. Additionally, Somalia appears too big here, and the main reason is that it has to maintain its shape along the side of Ethiopia and Kenya, which have been enlarged.
Tuesday’s general hint: It can sometimes be difficult to tell which country is largest on a cartogram. So to help you out this week, we are giving you the top ten list of the largest countries on this map. The numbers in parentheses are the percentages of each country’s area relative to the largest country on the cartogram. Here’s the list:
1. United States (100%)
2. Russia (71%)
3. China (68%)
4. Germany (47%)
5. Australia (41%)
6. United Kingdom (40%)
7. France (36%)
8. Italy (29%)
9. Japan (28%)
10. South Korea (26%)
Tuesday’s specific hint: It was mentioned above that the only purpose of the colors on this cartogram is to help you distinguish one country from another. But there is something special about this map that you can learn from the colors. On this map, Taiwan and mainland China are represented by different colors. Since the governments of the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China insist that Taiwan and mainland China are part of the same country, they are usually represented with the same color. For example, these places were both the same color on the cartogram that was Map #2. On this map, however, they are different colors—and there’s a good reason for that. What’s more, if Hong Kong were large enough to be clearly visible on this map, it would also be a different color from mainland China.
Wednesday’s hint: Several people who have submitted solutions so far have focused on measures of economic power. Presumably, they have noticed that the United States, Western Europe, and East Asia are all enlarged on this map and assumed it had something to do with the fact that these countries are all economically important. But there is a particular problem with this line of thinking: India is tiny on this cartogram. India, in fact, is smaller than Uzbekistan. That should be an indication that this week’s correct solution does not have anything to do with economics—at least not directly, anyway. So today’s hint is that you should think about what India does not do very well and try to come up with a solution from there.
Thursday’s hint: The key to understanding this week’s map is to pay attention to the countries that are disproportionately large in regions where their neighbors are mostly small. In particular, let’s focus on Ethiopia, Kenya, and Jamaica. All three of these countries have been greatly enlarged in this cartogram. You need to figure out what these three countries have in common. What do people like to do in these countries?
Friday’s hint: This cartogram represents a historical topic stretching back about two decades, since the breakup of the Soviet Union. As a final hint, we thought it might be useful to give you the table showing what the sizes of the countries on this cartogram would look like if it represented only this year:
1. United States (100%)
2. China (58%)
3. United Kingdom (55%)
4. Russia (46%)
5. Germany (35%)
6. France (35%)
7. Japan (34%)
8. Australia (24%)
9. Italy (23%)
10. South Korea (17%)
A few things jump out about this list. First, the United States is the largest on both lists, but it is the largest by an even larger margin on this list. Second, Russia is considerably smaller on the list for this year alone. There’s a particular reason for this!

Munificent Gift
How munificent was the Gift that God gave to the human race. He "so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). The Lord Jesus gave His life for the world, that man might have a perfect example. Laying off His royal robe and kingly crown, He came to earth as a man. He was tempted in all points as man is tempted, but not once did He fail to follow the path He had chosen. He was kept by the power of God, upheld by the One who will be the helper of all who love Him and keep His commandments.
Christ lived the simple life of a poor man's son, and thus became acquainted with the childhood life of the poor. And when, during His ministry, children were brought to Him that He might bless them, He thought of the mother who gave Him birth, and honored the mothers of these children, blessing them and their children also. Christ gave Himself to a life of humiliation and poverty, that He might be able, from childhood to manhood, to leave to all an example of what life should mean to every member of the human family.
All who have become children of God are to do all in their power to seek and to save the lost sheep. They are to make use of every possible means to give sinners the word of life and the saving grace of Christ. Believers in the truth are ever to remember the sacrifice that Christ made in order that He might, in taking humanity, be an example to all human beings. UL 92

At the same time, technology has always worked towards making life on earth easier and civilized. But the implications and use of technology or Artificial Intelligence (AI) in law is a rare instance to witness in the legal industry.
Before we elaborate on the benefits of AI in the legal landscape, let us understand the meaning and essence of Artificial Intelligence. In general parlance, AI is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. Advancements in AI is creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the industry. The use of Artificial Intelligence in the legal system is under progress already and is destined for even greater adoption and acceptability.
Artificial Intelligence in the Legal Industry
Artificial Intelligence can categorically reform the outlook and working of the legal sector with its cognitive capabilities and effective assistance. A rare yet efficacious combination of AI and law will witness immense growth in the future of the legal system. Listed below are certain areas in which artificial intelligence is proving to be yielding proficient results:
Due Diligence: Contract drafting/Contract reviewing is one of the essential tasks performed by law firms and lawyers to cater to the needs of different businesses, companies, individuals, and society. Therefore, to review a contract, there is a need to conduct diligent legal research and more accurate contract review by searching, highlighting, and extracting relevant content for analysis, which can further be reviewed multiple times. Thus, Artificial Intelligence software can prove to reduce human efforts and ease this tedious task of lawyers.
As per this article, COIN ( Contract Intelligence), an initiative started by JPMorgan in June 2016, extracts 150 attributes from 12,000 commercial credit agreements and contracts in only a few seconds. This is equivalent to 36,000 hours of legal work by its lawyers and loan officers according to the company.
Prediction Technology: AI software can prove to be prediction-oriented as well. It can predict the probable outcome of the cases negotiated between parties /adjudicated before the Court of Law. A handful of legal authorities are using machine learning models to predict the outcomes of pending cases, using the corpus of relevant precedent and a case’s particular fact pattern as inputs. For instance, Toronto-based Blue J Legal is a startup developing an AI-powered legal prediction engine, with an initial focus on tax law. According to the company, its AI can predict case outcomes with 90% accuracy.
Legal Analytics/ Research: Since time immemorial, legal research has been a manual and time taking process. Law students, juniors, and associates manually go through the physical volumes of law journals to search relevant case laws. In recent decades, with the advent of technology, this process has gone digital and lawyers now conduct research using computer programs like SCC Online, Manupatra, Lawsuit, CaseMine, and Westlaw. Yet these established solutions do not possess much intelligence and merely act as a basic search engine.
Automation of Documentation: It is a well-known fact that legal proceedings involve voluminous documents. It is one of the biggest challenges faced by law firms and lawyers in arranging, managing, and preserving the documents of assorted clients while maintaining the confidentiality of the same. Artificial Intelligence has again stood the test of efficiency due to intelligent arrangement and categorization of the relevant documents. For instance, the evolving Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and optical character recognition (OCR) can be used for the management of bulky documents without changing their structure thereby reducing the back-office costs.
Intellectual Property: The application of AI helps in the administration of Intellectual Property (IP) and in providing insights into the IP portfolios. For instance, WIPO Translate and WIPO Brand Image Search leverages AI-based applications for automated translation and image recognition.
The automatic classification of patents and goods and services for trademark applications are other promising areas for the application of AI. According to WIPO Magazine in May 2018, WIPO launched an automatic patent classification tool IPCCAT- neural for the International Patent Classification (IPC) system using neural network technology. This new tool will be retrained annually with updated patent information and will help patent examiners access and search “prior art” more easily. This, of course, is an important basis for establishing the patentability of an invention.
Electronic Billing: In recent decades, AI tools have helped lawyers and law firms in preparing invoices. Such technology provides for accurate and transparent billing for the work done by a lawyer. Thus, Artificial Intelligence has proved to be beneficial not only for lawyers but for clients as well.
Creation of Data Pool: AI may best be applied by lawyers and law firms to create a pool of their data based on their practice areas in the field of law. For any industry or business, data is useless unless it is used to make decisions and provide insights. Thus, AI can help lawyers, law firms, and in-house legal teams to make these natural connections and use their data to perform their work.
Challenges Faced by AI
The application of Artificial Intelligence has manifested substantial results in every industry. In the legal system, there are certain doubts regarding its reliability, particularly when it comes to confidentiality and ethical considerations.
Another reason for the non-acceptance of Artificial intelligence by lawyers and law firms is the budget constraints and cost involved in employing AI. The Indian legal system is the combination of in-house counsels, tier-1 law firms, mid-size tier firms, and lawyers working individually. Thus, it becomes difficult for lawyers and mid and small size law firms to adopt efficient but exorbitant artificial intelligence tools.
Artificial Intelligence is bound to transform the practice of law in drastic ways. At present, the implication of AI in law is only limited to Microsoft Word, email, and search engines. Considering the size and needs of the legal market, this furnishes a significant opportunity for using AI tools and software. These solutions can help lawyers in saving their time, energy and efforts, and work more efficiently.
Thus, the acceptance of Artificial Intelligence will unlock massive opportunities to transform and revitalize the legal system.

- The Washington Times - Saturday, June 2, 2007
What in the world did former vice presidential aide Scooter Libby ever do to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to make him so angry? Mr. Fitzgerald now wants the federal court to throw the book at Libby as the final step in one of the most graphically unfair, ridiculous investigations and prosecutions in the history of the Republic.
There really has to be something personal here. One would think the Chicago prosecutor with a reputation for self-righteousness had a bone to pick with Libby from the very start.
Mr. Fitzgerald has asked for a three-year sentence for Libby, convicted of obstructing justice and lying during an inquiry into the disclosure of a CIA undercover agent who hadn’t been covert in some time. For heaven’s sake, the Watergate cover-up conspirators weren’t treated so harshly for precipitating a constitutional crisis. Convicted muggers, thieves and dopers are doing less time.
Valerie Plame, the CIA operative, was about as important to the security of this nation as I am, and that much seems implicit in the fact Mr. Fitzgerald decided early were no grounds to prosecute anyone under a law making it a crime to reveal the identity of an American spy.
But one would have thought revealing her occupation was a serious breach in national defense that threatened us all and that her life has been ruined by that disclosure. Instead, she and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, seem to have thrived, becoming media celebrities and the darlings of liberal salons. If the court accepts Mr. Fitzgerald’s demands, the couple can giggle all the way to the next Vanity Fair party while grousing that Mr. Fitzgerald didn’t put away more White House aides.
But wait a second. Wasn’t this essentially a victimless noncrime, the leaking of Mrs. Plame’s name, that is? Then why continue to pursue the matter? That’s anyone’s guess, but a legitimate surmise might be that Mr. Fitzgerald was interested almost from the first in getting someone to lie so he could prosecute anyway. In fact, there was almost immediate speculation to that effect after he was appointed. Badger anyone long enough and discrepancies in their stories are likely to appear. I’m sorry, but there has to be some personal motivation.
Having chosen Libby as the scapegoat in this charade, Mr. Fitzgerald now wants to administer the coup de grace by putting him in the slammer for 30 to 37 months. Why not? We all know by now that Libby’s crime makes him Public Enemy No. 1. At least that’s the way it sounded in Mr. Fitzgerald’s sentencing recommendation. He argued that Libby “showed contempt for the judicial process … by repeatedly lying under oath about material matters in a serious criminal investigation.”
He also said Libby has shown no remorse for his actions. Well, in Libby’s mind he feels he was unfairly made an example, wrongly prosecuted and wrongly convicted. And a great many Americans agree with him no matter what the special counsel says.
This is not a defense for lying nor should public officials be treated leniently when they disobey the law. But there are crimes and there are crimes, and the impact of Libby’s actions, even if accurately portrayed, which is doubtful, is without real significance except to demonstrate the diligence of those prosecuting him, another notch on the handle of the counsel’s gun, so to speak.
It is difficult for the average person to see how a case can be obstructed when there is no case. Mr. Fitzgerald’s mandate was to determine if the law on CIA disclosures was broken; he knew almost immediately it hadn’t, but kept going.
What about all those others who had a hand in outing Mrs. Plame — the former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who told columnist Bob Novak and began this travesty? Why was no one else but Libby pursued with this fervor? The prosecutors even jailed a reporter for not telling them what they already knew. So what in the world is going on here, Mr. Fitzgerald?
Perhaps Libby is fortunate that Mr. Fitzgerald didn’t ask for the death penalty. He probably would have if possible.
Federal District Judge Reggie Walton will make the decision Tuesday, and he needs to start asking questions about the severity of this request.
Haven’t the taxpayers spent enough on this nonsense?

#2 Salvador – Brazil
So on we go! We sailed into Salvador it’s a small town on the coast in Brazil.
Salvador Brazil
Portuguese is the primary language in Salvador, yet English and Spanish are spoken fluently. It has a beautiful side with some nice old buildings and lots of churches; places of worship are everywhere as always in third world countries I have found that religion is very prevalent when there are lots of poor districts. It also has a slightly seedy side to the city with quite a few beggars in the streets. When we walked out of the ship the city area was divided into two areas the dockside which was on the lowland also it’s where the military base (navel) is situated as well as a large indoor/outdoor market place with people selling everything (Mostly crap, yet sometimes crap you feel you need usually until you get home and think to yourself why did I buy that coconut monkey??)
The upper city which was reachable for those on foot by the elevator,which you took to the main part of town up a cliff around 500ft straight up costing you less than 25 cents for each person. There are two big lifts taking around 20 to 30 people each and they are nearly always full with a lift operator in each.
Salvador - Main Square
When you get to the top you are confronted with the main square where you will find some of the churches and cafes and shops, this is where most of the tourist go as it feels the safest while you are in Salvador. With a little walking we found a money changers, cambia,or cambio, depending where you are, (cambia means change) luckily it was right next to a great little coffee shop in one of the town squares overlooked by guess what, another church, so we just sat in the sun enjoying coffee and watching the world go by.
Salvador - Church
When we were walking back to the ship and as we got close to the dockside markets we saw the police screaming and pointing guns at a group of youths across the road everybody was standing with their hands in the air while the police crossed over the road then while one police man covered them while the other searched them for weapons, I was pretty freaked out with how candid they were about weapons there and how quickly the police jumped on this group of youths that did not seem to be doing anything wrong, although I quickly shrugged that off as paranoia in a different country that I really knew very little about and overall I was glad they were not pointing the guns at me or my friends. So we set off once more on our way back towards the ship.
Where we headed towards our next port Rio.

How-To: Droid Syncing on the Mac
1) Foreplay
2) Safe Syncing
3) Getting Your Sync On
To sync calendars, you’ll need to be running Leopard or Snow Leopard. Go to your iCal application and then go to Preferences and then Accounts. Click the + icon and put whatever you want for description. For username put your and your password for Gmail. Then under the disclosure triangle for Server Options, put by your googlemail address) and then user. So for example, would be what you enter. Your calendars will now start downloading from the cloud. Alternatively, you can use BusySync and avoid these hassles.
I didn’t understand half of what is described here. If it’s that complicated then it’s useless to me.
Going back to my Lett’s of London and a #2 pencil.
Decided to make the switch. With Snow Leopard the setup is fairly easy. I’ve got the additional issue where i’ll ALSO use Mobile me….with an iMac, MacBook Pro, 2 ipads (one’s wife’s) and wife’s iphone. It looks like it works all ok. Caution….the initial sync of address book to google translated some things, especially when you have an entry as ‘a company’. Google want to translate the name to a first/last name entry. you may have to do some cleanup here. On the Calendar, it’s easy enough for any entry to change which ‘calendar’ it shows up in. So…i changed the entries that need to show up on both my wife’s and my calendar to a google calendar entry. This should work on the ipad (as it currently does on iphone) when the new OS is updated. I offer this as an experience. I’m something other than a tech guru on this stuff, though i do screw around with it alot.
Regarding your opening sentence:
“Maybe it’s because you’ve been watching too many of these ads , but for whatever reason, the iPhone isn’t for you.”
Really now. Isn’t it all the iSheep out there who watch too many ads. Having “switched” to Apple years ago and recently “counter-switched” to platform neutrality, I can attest that at least in my case owning a Droid is more akin to the old Apple modo: “Think Different.”
That said, thanks for the informative post.
I’m a real novice, but I followed the directions and synced my Droid 2 calendar to the Google calendar on my MAC. I was so proud of myself–the data all showed up on my Droid–but it seems to have disappeared on my computer calendar. What did I do, and what can I do to retrieve it? (I didn’t have much in it yet, so it’s not tragic, but I’d like to know where I went wrong.
i didn’t find a solution for the “failed to import events…” until i did this.
it works!
hey guys, go here.
apparently google cal does not import ical alarms and todos. so go to that site.
1. download script “”
2. export your ical.
3. put it in a folder named “script” on your desktop
4 .change your ical calendar name to “in.ics”
5. put the script that you downloaded into the “script” folder
6. start “terminal”
7. type “CD DESKTOP”
8. type “CD SCRIPT”
9. type “python”
10. script will run, erasing all TODOs and ALARMs.
11. script will export file called “out.ics”
12. import “out.ics” into google cal.
13. it should work, it worked for me!
hope this helps.
Jeff Young
Thanks, Dave Greenbaum. This posting seems very comprehensive and promising. However, I was unable to import my iCal file to my Google calendar: “Failed to import events. Unable to process your iCal/CSV file.” I previously did a test import with only one even and it worked fine. The file that failed to import had only two months of events. any ideas? Are there particular types of events that are not handled properly, such as multi-day events or events with other “organizers?”
Or get Snow Leopard and enable native sync via google’s exchange and use the less intrusive iTuneMyWalkman for iTunes syncing with any device.
and what % of consumers are willing/able to go through all this trouble? of course they could always go to their Apple Store genius bar for help … oh wait, no they can’t. now lemme see, just where is that Goggle guru bar? oh yeah, in the cloud.
which is all to say this is just too much trouble/too difficult for most consumers. one huge flaw of Android is the lack of a comprehensive desktop program to simplify and integrate all these important tasks. and the danger of fragmentation to even further complicate them.

Hey MacRat,
Thanks for your help!

Himalayan Fungus Could Help Treat Cancer, New Study
Himalayan Fungus Could Help Treat Cancer, New Study
Thursday, 14 October, 2021 - 03:15
Oxford University researchers have worked in collaboration with industry leaders NuCana to assess a novel chemotherapy drug derived from a fungus. A study in the journal Clinical Cancer Research has shown that the new drug NUC-7738, developed by NuCana, has up to 40 times greater potency for killing cancer cells than its parent compound, with limited toxic side effects.
The naturally-occurring nucleoside analogue known as Cordycepin (a.k.a 3’-deoxyadenosine) is found in the Himalayan fungus Cordyceps sinensis and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years to treat cancers and other inflammatory diseases.
However, it breaks down quickly in the blood stream, so a minimal amount of cancer-destroying drug is delivered to the tumor. In order to improve its potency and clinically assess its applications as a cancer drug, biopharmaceutical company NuCana has developed Cordycepin into a clinical therapy, using their novel ProTide technology, to create a chemotherapy drug with dramatically improved efficacy.
Once inside the body, Cordycepin requires transport into cancer cells by a nucleoside transporter (hENT1), it must be converted to the active anti-cancer metabolite, known as 3’-dATP, by a phosphorylating enzyme (ADK), and it is rapidly broken down in the blood by an enzyme called ADA.
Together, these resistance mechanisms associated with transport, activation and breakdown result in insufficient delivery of anti-cancer metabolite to the tumor. NuCana have utilized novel ProTide technology to design a therapy that can bypass these resistance mechanisms and generate high levels of the active anti-cancer metabolite, 3’-dATP, inside cancer cells.
ProTide technology is a novel approach for delivering chemotherapy drugs into cancer cells. It works by attaching small chemical groups to nucleoside analogues like Cordycepin, which are then later metabolized once it has reached the patient’s cancer cells, releasing the activated drug. This technology has already been successfully used in the FDA approved antiviral drugs Remsidivir and Sofusbuvir to treat different viral infections such as Hepatitis C, Ebola and COVID-19.

8 Ways to Increase Revenue with Restaurant Analytics
A saturated market, an increase in health regulations, and high startup costs make it a challenge to run a profitable restaurant. As a result, owners need to do whatever possible to increase sales and minimize labor costs.
While there are many solutions to help the restaurant industry succeed, the answer may be found in big data. Many in the restaurant business know how critical it is to use data to optimize decision-making and increase the bottom line. As software providers continue to improve restaurant technology and make it more affordable, it's now critical for every owner to invest in these technologies.
Software solutions and data-driven insights from business intelligence can help increase revenue and optimize inventory management. They can also help make better long-term decisions as it pertains to menu items, onboarding policies, sales tactics, and food waste. As a result, restaurants can provide a better customer experience and optimize cash flow management.
Interested in what restaurant analytics has to offer? Read ahead to learn how a restaurant chain can increase revenue with these 8 simple tips.
1. Optimize Table Turnover with Restaurant Analytics
A POS system is a computerized device that enables customers to pay for their meals. Over the years, restaurant POS systems are more advanced. They can optimize the ordering process and even allow customers to pay right from their tabletop.
This can help improve the guest experience and encourage patrons to return. Moreover, faster order and payment options enable servers to assist more patrons, which decreases wait times and streamlines table turnover. A POS system also collects valuable analytics data that restaurant management uses to learn more about customer preferences and daily sales.
Online employee scheduling software that makes shift planning effortless.

2. Minimize Food Waste with Restaurant Analytics
Food costs are expensive enough as they are, but food waste makes everything much worse. Poor inventory management and over ordering lead to food loss and a waste of money. With profit margins at razor thing levels, any food waste is too much.
Effective POS systems allow restaurants to manage the food that moves in and out of the kitchen. It also ensures that staff is accountable for how they prepare and deliver each menu item.
