Patch #243Legalize Blackness
by Joe Biel Author and Elly Blue Author
For all that our media tries to make other countries scary--"Dangerous Mexico!" "Scary Iran!" "Deadly Columbia!"--forty percent of Americans don't even need to have a passport to find a country where the police and legal system fuck them over without any recourse whatsoever.
Let's help change that, shall we?
The patches come in a variety of colors, which we pick for you! They come with rough cut edges.

October 27, 2021 Special Dispatch No. 9612
Saudi Journalist: Divorce Is Not A Sin; Traditional Marriage Customs Needs To Be Revised
October 27, 2021
Saudi Arabia | Special Dispatch No. 9612
In two articles in the Saudi daily Al-Watan, from September 30, 2021 and October 13, 2021, journalist Maha 'Abdallah comes out against the traditional marriage customs prevalent in Saudi society. Traditional arranged marriages, she writes, are like a loveless business transaction contracted by the families and imposed on the couple, who are often immature and unready for marriage. The problem is exacerbated when the couple tries to cement the marriage by quickly having children, she says. She argues that, when a marriage is unhappy, divorce is a legitimate option and is often the right thing to do, not only for the married couple but also for the sake of their children. Sustaining a failed marriage is not a sign of success, and divorce in these cases is better for the children than living with unhappy parents, she adds. She also criticizes Arab and Muslim preachers and sociologists who oppose divorce, and who tend to justify the husband's position in case of a conflict between the husband and wife.
Maha 'Abdallah (source:
The following are translated excerpts from her two articles.
Forcing Unhappy Couples To Stay Married Turns Them Into Innocent Victims
In her September 30 article, focusing on the topic of divorce, Maha 'Abdallah wrote: "In the non-distant past, people who decided to marry generally did so in order to meet [some] need or address some want: physical, social or image-related, each person according to his needs. This stemmed from an unfortunate lack of social awareness, and even became a cultural [norm]. Is it reasonable or human to expect an 18-year-old girl to take such a decision or agree to it? Or perhaps they helped her to decide, when she was not yet mature enough?! Things are even worse when it comes to the decision to get pregnant, so as to stabilize and cement the marriage, as society [demands], a decision for which [the girl] pays a social price.
"The fury of some preachers over the option of divorce, and their negative statements about it, as though whoever choses [this option] has lost his faith, is not surprising. By their very nature, these preachers cannot stand losing control. As far as they are concerned, [even] if a man comes to the final [conclusion] that he does not want his life partner, he must [nevertheless] stay with her and take an additional wife. That is the conclusion that follows from the culture of slavery that is entrenched among them. Some [of these preachers] even came up with [the practices of] misyar and misfar marriages, [1] so it is difficult to assess how serious [their] position is, when it is based on a system of completely unreasonable considerations!
"Nor do I understand the angry position of sociologists on the decision to divorce. I noticed something strange [in the position of] a well-known doctor of sociology… when he listens to problems of couples. If the husband complains about his wife, he advises him to be firm with her, or to threaten that he will divorce her or take another wife, better and more obedient than her. But if a wife complains about her husband, he tells her: 'You will never be a good wife as long as you keep complaining. Be patient. Men are like children, so they naturally make mistakes.' This is a puzzling [position].
"The majority of sociologists [whose opinions] we hear adopt this gender-biased stance, and I believe that they are influenced by the preachers. I have never heard or read about any Arab sociologist who said that divorce enables a better life for both sides, or is a legitimate right, just like marriage, or that, if the couple has children, they will not be better off seeing both their parents [remain together and be] miserable.
"There is no point forcing [people] to stay together, for this may cause worse problems and exact a price from innocent victims. Better separated but happy parents than parents [who remain] together but are miserable. [The option of] staying married without wanting to and [the option of] getting divorced are both bad, but is it not better to choose the lesser evil?
"Divorce is a good option, even a very good one, despite the difficulties it poses. If the decision to marry was a mistake, the solution is to divorce, for marriage is not an inescapable curse!
"We must understand that, as people gain awareness and understanding, their positions and wishes change. Remaining with someone who was forced upon them and whom they do not want can expose them to psychological damage that can pass on to the next generation. Staying together [in these circumstances] is not a sign of a successful marriage, but only indicates that one or both sides are willing to sacrifice [themselves].
"A relationship [of marriage] is not just a partnership between two people and a friendly agreement to help [one another in performing] the tasks and [meeting] the needs of life, and call it love! Such as position is naïve and unrealistic… Being a life partner means giving up some liberty. [One must ask oneself:] Are you ready for it, [considering that] all your emotions will be dependent on this decision? It is more complicated than you think. Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread."[2]
The Traditional Arranged Marriage Is A Loveless Material Transaction
In her October 13 article, about marriage, 'Abdallah wrote:
"A man saves money, goes to some [matchmaker] and says: 'I want a woman with a beautiful face and figure, who will be easy on the eyes and will satisfy me.' So the search begins for a woman with these qualities, and when a suitable [candidate] is found, a meeting between the two is arranged before any agreement is made – because the man is entitled to make sure that the woman he is paying for with the cash he worked so hard to save indeed meets his requirements. If he has found what he wanted, the [marriage] contract and its clauses are finalized, and then the final bargaining phase begins… The two sides agree [to marry] without knowing each other, and decide on the terms of the contract in order to safeguard the rights of each. The contract holds as long as their interests converge…
"[Alternatively,] a man decides to marry, obtains money, and then asks his mother [to find him a wife] with the qualities that suit him. The two families agree [on the marriage] even before the bride and groom do, because only this traditional model of marriage is welcomed by society. Then they [apply] a religious approach, according to which [the intended bride and groom] must meet to determine whether they are 'soulmates'!
"[But] that is an obvious lie, because this approach is [actually] based exclusively on material aspects… They determine the price of the bride – accurate or approximate. The man pays the cost and the women provides her services in return. Feelings are not part of any stage of this marriage. It is more like a typical business transaction.
"Then someone comes along… and says that love comes only after living together. In saying this, he is [actually] referring to Stockholm syndrome… Does this disorder count as love?
"Marriage according to the traditional model is an inhuman custom. It is a cultural inheritance that is presented as Islamic… We must acknowledge that traditional marriage is not a contract between two people, but a marriage between two families. As a consequence, any problem that arises is resolved only by the families, and both partners accept [the families'] authority. How can a father allow a man to closely scrutinize his daughter [like an object for sale], in the name of traditional marriage? Why do agree to let ourselves and our loved ones be objectified?
"If you want societies to perpetrate a crime without anyone challenging this, and [with some people] even defending it – [you need only] give it a halo of sanctity."[3]
[1] "Misyar" marriage – from the word "visit" in colloquial Gulf Arabic – is a type of marriage in which the husband "visits" his wife but does not live with her or provide for her. A misfar marriage is a temporary marriage between a man sojourning abroad and a local woman.

Mike Singletary on Super bowl LI, coaching and more

HOUSTON - Hall of Fame linebacker-turned-coach Mike Singletary returned to the NFL after a two-year hiatus in 2016. He served as the Rams linebackers coach and had the opportunity to coach against both the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots this year. Thanks to Hyundai, Singletary sat down with For the Win to discuss how the Super Bowl LI participants will match-up, coaching, Hard Knocks, Buddy Ryan and more…
You spent two years out of coaching before joining the Rams staff for the 2016 season. How did you spend that time away from the game?
In a strange sense, I never really left. What I did was, when I left Minnesota, the thing I wanted to do was to become a better coach. As I look around the league, I see coaches doing certain things. Praying on Sunday to win and hoping Monday you didn't get fired. I want more than that. I want to be a great coach. So I took off and went to the NFL, so I could figure out why other coaches do certain things. That next year, I travelled around the country visiting retired coaches to get more information. And then I wanted to get back in the game and go from there.
So what did you learn during your time off?
I was just taking the time to learn the game. Not just defense. Not just linebackers. But the defensive line, the DBs, the quarterback, the wideouts and to really get the details - the intricate things in terms of why they're doing what they're doing in terms of scheme. Cover 2, Cover 3, Cover 4. What do those really entail? What does that mean for the d-line? What are some things we can do differently in Cover 1. What would allow us to play Cover 2?
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports
Also, the way you train. The way players train today. What can we do to help some of these injuries that I've never heard of before. Those are things I've been thinking of. The Concussion. How do you really help a guy from not getting a concussion? How do you do that? What are the things you need to teach that young man for him not to go out there and get a concussion? How do you lower the percentages?
Coaches have complained about players not getting good coaching in college and making their jobs more difficult at the next level? Is it that much harder to coach players now compared to, say, a decade ago?
There are a couple things that have changed. The CBA. When I was playing, I could sit around and be with Buddy Ryan all day. Whereas now, in the offseason, a guy can look at his coach through the window but he can't go talk to him. It makes no sense to me. It's that relationship. It's being able to have that one-on-one, and being creative enough to say, "How do I touch this kid." Maybe using technology if you can't be with him physically.
So the Rams coaching staff had a unique challenge this season. You guys had to coach a team playing its first season in a new city. What challenges did that present?
Well, first of all, it was coaching a young team, too. The youngest team in the NFL, actually. Also being a team that just drafted a No. 1 overall quarterback. So there's more added pressure there. And then we're in a place where you have to win. You're in L.A., and if you're not winning, people say, "Hey I got a million other things to do." So there was a lot of different distractions pulling at you at one time. And I'm very grateful I was able to be out there, and it will benefit me and whatever team I ended up being with in the future.
You guys also had to deal with the 'Hard Knocks' crew infiltrating your training camp. How was that?
I tried to stay as far away from the cameras as possible. They got me a few times. It was interesting. I mean, when I'm coaching, I like being in my element and not dealing with somebody right there. Go away, and let me do this. But, overall, it was pretty cool. The players liked it.
Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports
Speaking of that rookie quarterback, do you see Jared Goff developing into a great passer?
I don't know. All I know is when I saw him play, I saw his ability to throw the ball, and I saw his ability to be a leader. I think he can be really accurate. If he's able to continue to grow, I think he can certainly be a good quarterback. Can he be great? That comes with making sure he has all the pieces around him. Making sure that he has an offensive line to block for him. And making sure they have a running game. Those are all the pieces he needs to have in place in order to really answer that question.
The Rams played both teams playing in the Super Bowl, so you know these teams. What makes their offenses so difficult to defend?
With the Patriots, it's the experience of Tom Brady. He has receivers that aren't blazing speed guys. They got one or two that can get the field. But Tom's ability to utilize those receivers. They duck in, they can find the open areas in a zone defense. They can present match-up difficulties for a man-to-man defense. Those receivers are perfect for Brady. And then you got Blount, who can come in and just kind of hammer it.
For Atlanta, they're just all out. They're just like, we're coming at you lock, stock and barrel with everything we've got, and just get ready. Pick your number. And it's going to be hard for you to stop them.
What's the approach when playing a team with a quarterback like Tom Brady, who has seen just about every coverage and blitz you can throw at him?
When you're playing against someone like Tom Brady, you have to pick your spots. Where on the field is he vulnerable? Depending on the spot on the field, the time, you look at where he likes to throw strikes and go downfield. So, maybe we go after him, because we'll have a little more time to get to him. Maybe it's a situation where Blount's coming in. They're going to run the football. So maybe we can put more in the box. Because Blount doesn't block too much in passing situations. So it just kind of comes down to which way you feel best you can bother him.
It will be interesting to see if these defenses on Sunday decide are we going to let these quarterbacks play and say whoever has the chalk last wins, or are they going to say, you know what, we can't have this. We're going to take this from you and send pressure.

So if you were coaching on Sunday, how would you, personally, attack these two offenses?
If I'm playing the Patriots, I'm going to get to Brady. I'm not going to let him sit back there and throw the ball. If I'm facing Atlanta, I'm going to focus on stopping the run. That's the key to stopping that offense.
But how do you do that when you have to worry about Julio Jones out there on the perimeter?
I'm going to stop the run, and make sure he's not catching the ball. Those are the main two things you need to do.
So do you put a safety over the top on Jones, and maybe leave the other corners on an island since you have to drop a safety into the box to defend the run?
It depends on the corner. If I had a corner who can get his hands on him and be physical with him, then I'll put him on Jones, put a safety over the top and play a half-field coverage. If I have a corner who can travel with him all over the field, then I'll be in great shape. Not too many of those going around, though.
Both of these teams play a lot of two-tight end and two-back sets. Defenses are getting smaller around the league, but with the success these teams are having going big, do you see the league going back to those more traditional personnel groupings?
It's amazing how teams just kind of follow the others. Oh, they're doing it, let's do it. I think what it comes down to is every team has to decide what their identity is going to be based on their personnel. It's one thing to say, "We're going to be this team." OK, great. Let's look at what we've got to do that with. The teams that are able to look at what they have and be honest about what they have and not try to fabricate it, and to be able to put in the offensive and defensive scheme that goes with what they have, are going to succeed. You have to have a long-term plan.
(AP Photo/File)
In a way, the move to more one-back sets really started with Buddy Ryan, who died in 2016, just blitzing the hell out the league. Teams stopped trying to match you guys and started to put more receivers on the field. Why was that defense so effective, to the point where it really changed the league?
We fell into that 46 defense because we lost all of our linebackers and we had to protect our DBs. Buddy wanted to create one-on-one matchups. And when you put someone over that center, and you put three-techniques over those two guards - those are normally your weakest guys on offense - so when you can do that, it creates a lot of tension for that quarterback. Now when the QB gets that ball and drops back, he's not looking downfield, he's looking [at the rush]. And I'm not looking out there quick at my first read, I'm looking at what's in front of me. So it changes my eyes, it changes my mechanics, it changes my timing. And if I'm getting any kind of pressure in the middle, it changes my steps. Instead of just being comfortable and dropping back, now I got to deal with stress. Pressure makes a quarterback do interesting things.
OK, I can't let you go without giving us a pick. Who wins on Sunday?
I'm going with Atlanta.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 16
By Fatih Karimov – Trend:
Destroying the terrorist group “Islamic State” (IS, aka ISIS or ISIL) through military approach is impossible, says Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi.
“Defeating the IS is impossible as long as its ideology and thoughts remain,” Ebadi, who is an Iranian lawyer and human rights activist, told Trend Dec. 15.
“Military approach has already been used in fighting the extremist Taliban group in Afghanistan,” Ebadi said, adding the realities indicate that with death of each Taliban fighter several new people took gun and joined the group.
She further said the extremist groups, such as the IS, generally rise in communities that lack democracy and suffer from low education and huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Ebadi believes that fighting corruption, dictatorship, poverty and illiteracy should be a priority in preventing extremism growth.
“Books, not bombs, can defeat the IS,” she added.
Saudi Arabia on Dec. 15 announced the formation of a 34-state Muslim military coalition to combat terrorism.
A long list of Arab countries, such as Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, together with Muslim countries as Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Gulf Arab and African states are mentioned in the coalition.
A US-led coalition has already been bombing the “Islamic State” in Iraq and Syria since August 2014.
Russia also has launched air-strikes against the group in Syria from Sept. 30.

Targeting Obama's greatest weaknesses with swing voters
Karl Rove's American Crossroads has done some careful research into what kind of criticism of President Obama resonates most with swing voters. After showing various attack ads to focus groups, they rejected the more personal attacks on Obama. Instead they're targeting parents' concerns about their children's ability to find jobs while they're being loaded up with the debts that Obama's policies have incurred.
As the NYT writes, the purpose of the ad is to target those voters who supported Obama in 2008, but are disappointed in his performance.
This is the exactly right message to take in political advertising. Those who dislike Obama because of his radical connections are already opposed to him. The election will be won among those swing voters who will have to be persuaded to vote against someone they supported four years ago. And that persuasion must be built on the record that Obama has made since 2008. This is a target-rich environment since so much of what Obama has done has been a failure and, as many economists acknowledge, is retarding the economy's recovery.
Expect more of these 'sadder, but wiser' portrayals of the Obama presidency and ordinary people's worries.

Clouds in the Martian Atmosphere
Although resembling an extremely dry desert, planet Mars hosts clouds in its atmosphere. Every day somewhere on the planet a part of the tiny amount of water vapor held by the atmosphere can condense as ice crystals to form cirrus-type clouds. The existence of water ice clouds has been known for a long time, and they have been studied for decades, leading to the establishment of a well-known climatology and understanding of their formation and properties. Despite their thinness, they have a clear impact on the atmospheric temperatures, thus affecting the Martian climate.
On Mars, cloud crystals form on ice nuclei, mostly provided by the omnipresent dust. Thus, the clouds link the three major climatic cycles: those of the two major volatiles, H2O and CO2; and that of dust, which is a major climatic agent itself.

In the Olympic motto, “faster” and “stronger” (as in “faster, higher, stronger”) aren’t referring to queasiness and diarrhea. But norovirus is an Olympian among gastrointestinal viruses and has been swelling during PyeongChang, South Korea, site of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
As mentioned progressing in Forbes, Aron Hall, DVM, MSPH, of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has described norovirus as a “perfect pathogen”. In other words, norovirus is a Apollo Anton Ohno of pathogens, with a importance on “oh, no.” This is since norovirus seems to be designed by inlet to be unequivocally clever and widespread unequivocally fast. It’s a hardy micro-organism that can sojourn on food, utensils, plates, surfaces, and other objects for days or even weeks and can withstand many standard disinfectants. The micro-organism is also rarely contagious. As few as 18 virus particles can means an infection.
And a micro-organism causes those putrescent to do accurately what would assistance widespread a micro-organism from both ends: 1 to 3 days of queasiness and diarrhea-ing to a indicate where we can get unequivocally dehydrated. This puke and poop are utterly spreading as well. Just a gram of poop can have adult to 5 billion viruses. (If we don’t ordinarily import your poop, the normal healthy chairman poops 450 grams of poo a day. A norovirus infection can significantly boost this number.) Oh, and a micro-organism mutates readily, definition that even if we are putrescent and build up an defence response to that chronicle of a virus, we can always get putrescent again and again with opposite versions of a virus.
All of these qualities make a norovirus conflict severe to contain. For example, as we wrote formerly for Forbes, norovirus was one source of queasiness and diarrhea during a 2016 Republic National Convention. As of Thursday, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 128 cases of norovirus illness have occurred during a Winter Olympics. So far, a illness has cheerless primarily private-security crew who have been staying during a Horeb Youth Center, forcing a Winter Olympic organizers to move in 900 troops crew to yield confidence for a 20 venues, as Erin Gabriel reported for CNN. Officials have been contrast a food and H2O during a Olympic venues though have not nonetheless found a strange source of a outbreak.

What do we do afterwards if norovirus is near? Take a following steps:
1. Wash your stinking hands entirely and frequently: You should do this anyway, not usually when norovirus is near. Hand sanitizer does not reinstate soaking your hands with soap and water.
2. Wear gloves when doing anything that might be contaminated: This is a good order when doing puke or poop in general, though generally critical when norovirus might be involved. But also be clever about areas that are tighten to puke or poop.
3. If possible, scrupulously dispose of anything that might be contaminated: Of course, this relates usually to things that we can partial with and not objects like cars and toilets. Don’t chuck divided things in a approach that others might still come into hit with a items.
4. Clean and purify all else that might contaminated: Use cleaning materials that are famous to be effective opposite norovirus such as a 1000–5000 ppm chlorine whiten solution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides a list of products proven effective opposite norovirus.
5. Keep anyone who is ill with norovirus divided from food or anything else that pass a micro-organism on to others: Yeah, a chairman ill with norovirus is substantially not a chairman we wish cooking a family feast or doing a dishes. As Amy Qin reported for a New York Times, as shortly as a conflict was announced on Tuesday, 1,200 confidence workers were placed underneath quarantine. People sojourn foul even after their symptoms have resolved: from 3 days to 2 weeks after recovering.
If norovirus were to strech a Olympic Village, a micro-organism could unequivocally change Olympic results. In many events, seconds or a event could meant a disproportion between a Gold Medal and finishing off a award podium, let alone vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. Norovirus-caused queasiness and diarrhea are not like your each day “I drank too much” or “I shouldn’t have eaten that Crisco and cheese sandwich left out on a opposite for a integrate days” queasiness or diarrhea. It can even hit an Olympian out of a competition. So South Korean Olympic officials are perplexing to make certain that a Olympics don’t go viral in a wrong way.

Chapter 236: Special Eating Baby Mothers
Originally, Feng Lixin wanted to return to his medical room.
He was afraid that his appearance would affect the appetite of the two women.
But Feng Xinglang could tell that his big brother Feng Lixin really wanted to be like a normal person and eat at the same table as his relatives.
Ever since his appearance had been ruined, Feng Lixin had become more pessimistic, and his mind became more sentimental.
From what Dr. Jin had said, it was as if the pathos factor had become active. He cared a lot about the way others looked at him.
Fortunately, Feng Xinglang had done well in this aspect. Because he sincerely didn't dislike Feng Lixin.
But on the dining table, one was his own beloved woman, and the other was his own younger brother's wife. Feng Lixin more or less, still felt a little uncomfortable.
Feng Xinglang wanted to follow Feng Lixin to the medical room to eat, but he was worried about leaving the two women together.
Since Feng Lixin was also unwilling to leave, Feng Xinglang asked him to stay below for dinner before going upstairs.
Feng Xinglang thought that his appearance would affect the appetite of the two women, but he didn't expect that he really worried too much.
Xueluo's appetite was surprisingly good, and everyone's gaze practically fell on Xueluo who was wolfing down his food.
After chewing on the three pieces of chicken wings, Xueluo saw the greasy crystal hoof.
Firstly, Xueluo really wanted to eat it. Secondly, the rich collagen in the crystal hoof was very nice to the little girl in his stomach.
Xueluo really wanted to have a daughter who was close to him in a cotton-padded jacket, but he also wanted to have a strong son to depend on.
The craving for food simply could not be stopped, so Xueluo shamelessly took out half a crystal leg from the big soup plate.
Taking a bite was truly delicious. It was as if he had been lifeless for a century. He couldn't help but take a few more bites, and the more he ate, the more he felt that the taste of the hooves was especially good tonight.
Suddenly, Xueluo felt his surroundings becoming strangely quiet. It was as if she were the only one who could hear the sound of her own hooves clattering against her shoulder.
Subconsciously raising his head, Xueluo was ashamed to discover that everyone was paying attention to her.
Xueluo felt embarrassed. But she couldn't say she was pregnant, and her mouth was hungry.
Since he had already decided to divorce Feng Lixin, and still lived in the Feng Family to cheat and eat, Xueluo felt really bad.
But thinking about it, no matter how unfaithful he was and how shameless he was, the obedient child in his stomach was the son of the Feng Family.
Maybe he would be treated favorably, maybe he would never be able to see the light of day, but in the end, he was still Feng Xinglang's flesh and blood. Eating some food from the Feng Family shouldn't cause them to be looked down upon.
"You all … You guys eat too. "
Xueluo said in a dry and weak voice, extremely embarrassed. However, he lowered his head and began to pick at the rice in the bowl, stopping eating.
"Lin Xueluo, you eat such a greasy thing at night, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
Lan Youyou looked at Xueluo who was munching on his greasy crystal hoof, and was completely dumbfounded. Not only was he hungry, his mouth was also dripping with oil. He looked like an African refugee who had starved for days.
Xueluo was truly embarrassed. But if he did not answer Lan Youyou, he would feel even more embarrassed.
"I, I'm getting fatter! After school, you have to take the sports exam. I want to get an A. "
Obtaining an A in sports was indeed Xueluo's dream. It would also give the man who mocked him for cheating on sports a whole new level of respect for himself.
But from the looks of it, the little girl in his stomach clearly did not agree with his mother's nonsense. It had only been two months, and it couldn't bear the torment.
Feng Xinglang's brows slightly twitched, seeing that Xueluo was only eating, he pushed the entire plate of prawns towards her.
"Eat more of this, you brain-dead fool!"
It was clearly an act of concern, but Feng Xinglang accompanied it with these mocking words.
Xueluo did not bother about how much he despised her. Just saying "long brain" made Xueluo decide to eat a few more fresh prawn rolls.
The little girl in her belly was developing her brain, so she should really supplement more protein-rich foods.
Although there were prawns in the school cafeteria, most of the prawns were frozen in ice, and they did not taste fresh at all. They were simply incomparable to Feng Family's Back Opening Prawns.
Xueluo ate one, then ate another... After eating three fresh prawn rolls in a row, he finally stopped. I'm too embarrassed to continue eating.
"Xueluo, if you like it then eat more."
Even though Feng Lixin's words were slurred, they were filled with care and concern for her, her younger brother's daughter-in-law.
"Youyou, you should eat too."
There was also an unrelenting love for his beloved woman.
Ba da, Lan Youyou straightforwardly put down his chopsticks and sat there as he watched Xueluo eat.
"I want to see how much more you can eat for yourself!"
"..." Xueluo was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed. Being stared at like that for a meal was too uncomfortable.
The atmosphere at the dining table became awkward.
"Second Young Master, I'll feed the First Young Master. Eat a few mouthfuls first to ease your hunger." Nanny An immediately spoke out to interrupt the awkward atmosphere at the dining table.
"Miss Lan, watch me eat! "My skin is thick!"
Feng Xinglang handed his big brother Feng Lixin's medicine bowl over to Nanny An, and took a sip from his own bowl.
"What? I'm watching your sister-in-law eat. Are you sad?" Lan Youyou asked in a half-negative half-positive tone.
"I do love you! My brother and I don't like women who are too thin.
Feng Xinglang was even hungrier. After just a few casual rounds at noon, the GK Venture Capital Project has been launched once again. It is so busy that the sky and the earth seem to be blurring.
If it was said that Xueluo's eating style was fierce, then Feng Xinglang's eating style was even more shocking.
Like the wind sweeping away clouds, a plate of steel-plated beef finally saw the bottom.
After hearing what Feng Xinglang said, Lan Youyou stopped staring at Xueluo to eat, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
The cow-willow was very tender. Feng Xinglang chose one of the thinner cow-willow leaves and washed the seasoning off with his own moisturizing soup. After that, he brought it to Feng Lixin's mouth.
Feng Lixin's teeth were not good, but with how thin the willow branch was, even if she swallowed it all, it wouldn't really matter.
"Xinglang, eat it yourself."
Feng Lixin still ate the cow-like willow silk that Feng Xinglang fed to him.
The wings of his nose were almost destroyed by the fire, so his already fragile nose had become strange. It looked eerie and scary. But in Feng Xinglang's eyes, it was still benevolent.
"It's better if it's my own brother! Look at these two women, they only care about eating by themselves! "
Feng Xinglang teased, not wanting to make Feng Lixin feel too awkward and uncomfortable.
"I'm done eating, let me feed Lixin."
Xueluo put down his bowl and chopsticks, and walked over ashamedly. Honestly speaking, since he had married into the Feng Family, he had not fulfilled his obligations of being a wife for a day.
However, as soon as he said that, he felt disgusted again...

Dreadlock style
Dreadlocks aren’t just fashion statements; they can also reflect religious beliefs.
A common misconception is that those who have consciously formed dreadlocks do not wash their hair, but this is usually not the case; in fact many dreadlock care regimens require the wearer to wash their hair as regularly as non-locked hair

Comments on: Merger: Should I take cash, stock, or both? Comments on Ask MetaFilter post Merger: Should I take cash, stock, or both? Tue, 02 Jun 2015 12:48:10 -0800 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 12:52:55 -0800 en-us 60 Question: Merger: Should I take cash, stock, or both? I had some stock in a (private) company that is being purchased by another (public) company, and now they're asking me whether I want cash or stock. What's the right answer? <br /><br /> I have zero experience with stocks, investments, etc. However, I worked at a private company a few years ago and was allowed to purchase some stock options when I left. Now, the company has been purchased by a public company, and there is a merger happening.<br> <br> I received a form that I need to return, and I'm supposed to indicate whether I would like to receive my consideration in the form of cash, shares in the parent company stock, or a combination of both.<br> <br> What's the right answer?

If you believe that it will decrease in value, take cash. If you believe it will increase in value but you need some cash right now, take a combination. If you don't know what it will do and you are young, take stock. If you don't know what it will do and you are old (-er or -ish), take cash and invest in conservative investments.<br> <br> Consider:<br> How has the public company performed in recent years?

I can only think of two reasons to take the stock. The first is if you thought the stock would perform and you would buy the stock anyway if you had the cash to do so. That way taking the stock would reduce transaction costs. The second is if taking the stock would avoid immediate taxation on the payout. Then, if you thought the stock was a good investment and wanted to delay paying tax until you decided to cash out, you might consider it.,2015:site.280963-4073668 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 13:03:38 -0800 rtimmel By: mkultra <i>I have zero experience with stocks, investments, etc.</i><br> <br> Take the cash.,2015:site.280963-4073683 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 13:18:02 -0800 mkultra By: laukf Cash - M&A destroys value on average.

It could do well, and it's not really a gamble when the only thing you have to lose is money you never expected to have. <br> <br> So, I'd either split it or take all stock.,2015:site.280963-4073698 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 13:32:36 -0800 DarlingBri By: yogalemon Cash.

Do you want to spend a nice chunk for some deserved travel / vacation and a little splurge on yourself? or are you saving it all for the kids (if you have any, that is) and/or retirement. <br> <br> You may want to answer these questions so you would be ready to talk to your CPA.,2015:site.280963-4074150 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 02:06:37 -0800 kschang

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have a Exchange 2010 instance where 2 different domains, Fabrikam.com and Contoso.com, are using the same server that has all 3 Exchange server roles installed, CAS/Transport/Mailbox. All of the clients are using RPC over HTTPS to connect over the open internet and none are members of the Exchange server domain, they are all geographically dispursed.
I have added a secondary OWA virtual directory with the following PowerShell command:
New-OwaVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName "Contoso.com"
I have configured each of these web sites with the appropriate DNS A record and SSL certificate:
So now the server has 2 IIS sites with 2 IP addresses, each bound to 1 of the SSL certificates. This all works well and as expected.
For the autodiscover record, I've configured each with an SRV record as follows:
priority = 10
weight = 10
port = 443
svr hostname = mail.contoso.com
priority = 10
weight = 10
port = 443
svr hostname = mail.fabrikam.com
The problem is, when the autodiscover XML is returned, the OWAUrl property is returning the URL for BOTH CAS URLs and not just the CAS url for the appropriate domain. I am aware you can use the AutoDiscoverSiteScope property and configure AD sites to control which URLs get displayed to specific IP ranges, however is it possible to return a URL based on which user or which mailbox database each user is in?
What are my options here to return the appropriate autodiscover configuration?
If anything is unclear please let me know and I'll update this question. Thanks in advance for your time.

I'm not seeing what you're trying to accomplish - why not just one OWA and then redirect http://autodiscover.contoso.com/ to https://autodiscover.fabrikam.com/ ? Neither outlook nor Exchange minds what primary accepted domain the users have as their mail addresses – Mathias R. Jessen Feb 20 '14 at 0:19
First, if you reread, we aren't using autodiscover.domain.com at all. Second, these are vanity URLs and users in domain contoso.com don't want to see the fabrikam.com domain and vice versa. – Nathan Rice Feb 20 '14 at 1:02
I realize that you don't - I'm pondering why? I don't understand how changing/masking the OWAUrl changes the user experience in any way - where in Outlook does it show? I'm also pretty sure it can't be done by the Autodiscover service, you'ld have to rewrite the ouput on the fly – Mathias R. Jessen Feb 20 '14 at 2:35
Essentially these 2 companies are unrelated and sharing the Exchange instance. They don't want to see eachothers URLs. Some devices pick up the URL instances and are automatically redirected. iOS devices for example. – Nathan Rice Feb 20 '14 at 8:13

What you're looking for won't work - at least not in a supported way. If you've read the Exchange 2010 multitenancy guides - they specifically address this:
The URLs and hostnames configured returned to clients are the same across the system. It is not possible to configure tenant specific URLs to be returned via AutoDiscover. The recommendation therefore is to create generic and non-specific names that do not identify any specific tenants. .... It is not supported to modify or otherwise change the AutoDiscover the XML response returned to the client in any way for any reason.

Pregnancy Makes You Want To Do WHAT?!
I fully understand that you cannot understand pregnancy or childbirth entirely until you go through it. I claim ignorance on the matter on the regular. I haven't even had any close friends get pregnant, so I really have only a distant understanding of the whole baby-incubating thing.
I have heard about the joys of pregnancy and the horror stories, of course, but there are certain things about pregnancy that just don't get mentioned often. When other mothers or pregnant women hear about them, however, it's just treated as a sort of occupational hazard, but for those of us who are unaware of the process, it's all like WHA?????
I am a big fan of of Jill Krause over Baby Rabies. She makes me laugh on the regular, and I follow her on Twitter like the blog fan girl that I am. Then she tweeted this the other day. And I was, again, all like WHHAAAA???
So, I went to my good friend The Google and researched pica. Uh, pica had a totally different meaning in my page design class in college. People actually want to eat sand? And gritty things? And ickiness?
Okay. I can deal with that part. I think what really got me was that other pregnant women and mothers just, like, treated it like just another thing.
At no point in my entire life has it ever occurred to me that making babies would lead to eating dirt or other scratchy things.
What else am I missing out on? 'Cause, I still have lots of time to change my mind...
Yeah. Like that's going to happen.
As always, it's hip to be square (and WHHHAAA??), kids.
1. I know, it's true! I could. not. comprehend. this pica thing before it actually happened to me. But the strangest part is if it does happen to you, it feels, in that moment, totally normal. Stupid hormones and crazy pregnant bodies. Thanks for the mention :)
2. Sweet lady, if you want the good, bad, ugly, and whaaa of baby-cooking, I'll give you all the seats your brain and gag reflex can handle.
3. I think it's also because your body is using ALL your vitamins to nourish that little person (or people in my case), so you end up with strange cravings. I didn't have Pica, but I had lots of other oddities, like carpal tunnel - just for pregnancy, then it went away (thank goodness!)
4. I didn't get Pica with either pregnancy but I did get the eat everything that's actual food and not nailed down syndrome. Not sure if there's an actual name for that crap...oh right it's called your ass is as big as your baby belly. ;) No really both my pregnancies were rather normal some nausea check, exhaustion check, crankiness check. All worth it though and to be totally honest I would do it again. Great post. Totally cracked me up!

Use Vuex Actions to Delete Data from APIs in Nuxt and Vue.js
John LindquistJohn Lindquist
You'll begin to notice as you build out your actions in Vuex, many of them will look quite similar. Creating a remove action looks almost the same as the add action except for using the axios.delete method then filtering out the deleted todo once the response comes back.

00:00 Notice that each todo also has a, which means that I can use this id 1, 2, 3, or if I had another one, you'll see 4. I can use that id to look it up when I request to delete one of these from the API.
00:16 I'm going to put this in a so I can add some buttons behind it, and that way in my class I can say flex, and then in this I can say flex:auto to basically take up the remaining space and push my buttons to the right.
00:32 Then in my button I want to put an image, and the source can be, there's a great little service at, if I look this up,, I can find the icon I want, we'll just find a trashcan one.
00:48 I'll search for trash, and this will be fine. I'll copy this, paste that there, now I have a nice little trash can where I can delete this. I'll also align this down since that expanded the height of the button. We'll do items-center which adjusted the align item-center.
01:05 Now, when I click on this trashcan, I want to say click and we'll say remove. This remove is what we want to map to an action, remove, which will then map to interactions and asyncRemove, which will have a very similar signature here where this takes the commit and the task, actually this one's going to be the todo since I want to get the off it.
01:33 Then I'm going to axios.delete, then this string I want to turn it into a template string, so I can target the and send a delete request directly to that I don't need to pass anything else, I'll just go ahead and delete that.
01:49 Then after that's done, I can pass on that todo to a committed mutation, where I say remove. Can go ahead and duplicate this down, say remove, and now state todos is going to be a filtered version of state todos, where if the is not equal to the that was deleted, that means we want it.
02:17 We're basically getting everything but that that we deleted. Back here, just need to make sure we're passing in our todo to that remove, which I'll pass in todo right here. That's coming from the todo of todos, so the workflow here is todo goes into the remove, this remove is in mapActions, so it's here, which is then mapped to in my actions.
02:43 This remove sends off a delete request. Once that comes back, we can just commitRemove the original todo since this doesn't really return anything, it's just deleting something. Then on the front end we can remove-commit this mutation by filtering out that todo. I'll go ahead and save and try this out.
03:02 I'll click this some task, and now it's gone. I can click sleep, because no one needs to do that, and now we only have eat and code left. I'll add sleep back, hit enter, you can see we have sleep at number four. I'm just going to add a tiny bit of formatting here. We'll do with a space so you can see those numbers a bit better.
03:25 Then in this form I'm going to give the same class as the article, and maybe even give it an input submit button with a value of add, just so you can click on that if you didn't know that enter was available to hit to submit something.

Where have all the strivers gone? (Part 2)
It's officially Spring in Minnesota.
I go through this every year. I promise myself, "Not until May 1st," because I know the weather up here isn't really nice enough to get away with it. Then I start saying, "Well, okay, maybe April 15th," because of like, global warming and all. And then one morning I wake up, and take the dogs out for their morning walk, and the sun is shining, and the trees are budding, and the birds are singing, and the skies are just so amazingly blue that I simply can't wait until 8 A.M. rolls around and I can call my insurance agent on the phone and shout, "TAKE THE TRIUMPH OFF WINTER STORAGE COVERAGE, I'M PUTTING IT BACK ON THE ROAD!"
And fifteen minutes after that I'm blasting down the 10th Street freeway entrance ramp at Warp 9, and the tuned exhaust header hits that resonant peak at around 3800 rpm...
Uh, excuse me, where was I? Oh yeah, I was going to talk about strivers this morning. Okay, short answer is, there's no shortage of strivers. You just won't find them in serious literature anymore. You'll find them aplenty in movies, usually about urban youth determined to make it big with nothing more than some raw talent and a hatful of dreams: e.g., Eight Mile Road, Get Rich or Die Tryin' -- (Could there possibly be more of a "striver" title than that last one?)
You'll find them in the engineering and computer science departments of colleges, where a couple of buddies are trying to figure out, not how to get blind drunk and laid in Fort Lauderdale, but how to make something that will become the next Google.
You'll find them on construction sites, where some guy with a truckful of tools, a circular saw, and both his thumbs is trying to figure out how to hire some help and double his business next year.
You'll even find them in suburban basements, where millions of kids like The Kid and his friends have already sussed that if you score more bolts now, you can buy weapons and ship upgrades and score even more bolts on the next level.
So why don't we find strivers in contemporary serious literature?
Me, I blame The Great Gatsby, but it's probably goes older and runs deeper than that...

type tables
I´ll take care of you/ Steve Rogers x Reader
Pairings: Steve Rogers x reader
warnings: fluff
Originally posted by caps-bucky
Steve was leaning against the doorframe watching you sitting at the table and typing into your laptop. You were working on your new book for 6 hours straight not taking a single break and also neglecting the food and drinks Steve placed next to you.
As soon as a new idea popped into your head you were not able to stop and although Steve loved how passionate you were about your job he was still worried about you and your health.
Working as an author was not as easy as everyone assumed and Steve knew that too which is why he never argued with you trying to drag you away but as he looked closer he noticed the dark circles under your eyes and how weak you actually looked from the lack of sleep making him only more worried than he already was.
You had a lot to cope with, stress, work, insecurities and all of this built up making it impossible for you to get a proper good night sleep. Enough was enough for Steve and he walked over to you, placing his hands on your shoulder softly massaging them.
“Doll you really need a break.” he said but you continued to type not bothering to show any response as Steve sighed and turned your chair, kneeling down in front of you. “Steve please I need to finish this.” Your voice was weak and you tried to turn the chair around but Steve kept you in place looking at you with a serious facial expression.
“Have you seen yourself lately? Come on. I´ll run you a bath, get you some dinner and put you in bed okay?” You tried to protest but knew that he was right. You were completely exhausted and needed any relaxation that you could get so you simply nodded which made Steve smile softly and as soon as he stood up he lifted you from your chair, so that you could wrap your legs around his torso while he brought you to the bathroom.
Steve sat you down and ran you a bath, throwing in one of your bath bombs and helping you to get out of your clothes before you sat down in the water releasing a soft moan as soon as the hot water hit your skin, relaxing you immediately. You closed your eyes and heard Steve leave the room before he came back a few moments later with a plate filled with some pasta and tomato sauce.
“I´m sorry for being so absent lately. Work is killing me and stressing me out.” You said as Steve twirled some spaghetti onto the fork, holding it to your mouth so you could eat it.
“You don´t have to apologize. I can totally understand this and that´s why I´m helping you like you always do when I come home from missions.”
You two kept sitting in the bathroom, enjoying the silence as Steve was feeding you the last few noodles before he lifted you out of the bathtub, drying you off completely and pulling one of his shirts over your head, before he brought you to your bed, where you laid down, your head placed on his chest, closing your eyes immediately.
“Thank you Steve.” You mumbled and felt his lips press a soft kiss to your forehead.
“Goodnight doll. I love you.” You smiled softly, snuggling closer and feeling his fingers running through your hair, slowly massaging your skull.
“I love you too Steve.”

things pidge used to do back at garrison
• spends majority of her time under the desk
• lance: pidge, iverson wants to see you
• pidge: *slinks down her chair and merges with the shadows under the table*
• hunk: where’s pidge?
• *soft chewing and crunching and furious typing from under the table*
• [taking attendance] “is pidge gunderson here?”
• *a hand sticks out from nowhere and waves around*
• sometimes lance or hunk walks pass and pidge gives them a sudden slap to the hand which she claims is a high five
• she sleeps there too
• skips class and finds empty classrooms to nap in
• goes to the bathroom and kind climbs on the sink and kind of just. Sits there
• “gunderson is my class too boring for you?”
• pidge, making an insane amount of noise from the clinking and clacking of metal from the robot she’s building at the back of class: what no go on with the lesson
Undercover - Jughead Jones
Hi! Could I get a Jughead x Reader imagine where the reader and Jughead are best friends, but the reader has feelings for Jughead but doesn’t tell him. One day she goes “undercover” to get info about Jason’s death for Jughead and he sees her undercover and realizes he has feelings for her, and then there’s some rated T action and fluff between them? Thanks!
I kinda twisted the meaning of it but it lead to *high pitched screaming*

Being best friends with Jughead Jones isn’t the easiest thing in the world. He’s not the friendliest person to begin with, but some can easily look past that, like yourself. You and Jughead had been close every since you could remember, but the summer before Sophomore year changed things. Jughead became more reclusive and less in touch with you. It all happened after Jason Blossoms’ death. The day before school started up again, you invited yourself over to his house. Needless to say, Jughead was surprised.
“Y/N?” He asked, the bags under his eyes telling you he must’ve just woken up. Despite the normal summer heat, he was wearing a loose sweater and sweatpants. Just seeing him again, after so long, made your heart flutter. You quickly pushed it down and regained your angry composure. “I haven’t seen you in months, Jug!” You said, obviously breaking him out of his tired state. He quickly pulled you inside his house, and you accidently bumped into his chest. It was so tempting to hug him, but you fought the urge and watched as he closed the door behind you. When he faced you, you saw how intense his gaze was. “I’m sorry about that, Y/N, I am.” He said, his tone serious. “I’ve been working on something,” he said as he walked past you, beckoning you to follow him. He lead you to his room then to his desk where an open laptop rested. Pages of text cluttered the screen and just by skimming through the document the words ‘Summer’, ‘Jason Blossom’, and ‘presumed dead’ caught your eye. You turned to face Jughead who stood, unmoving, next to you. “This is what you were doing?” You asked, turning back to study the words he had typed.
“Yeah, ever since I heard he was missing.” He muttered, but you couldn’t help but be amazed by your friend. His drive and dedication to his writing was eye-opening. You faced him once more with a grin on your features. “Do you need help?”

The bear, the bear!
Lifted her high into the air!
The bear! The bear!
I called for a knight, but you’re a bear!
A bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair,
But he licked the honey from her hair.
Her hair! Her hair!
He licked the honey from her hair!
Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air!
My bear! She sang. My bear so fair!
And off they went, from here to there,
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair.

Weasley Parents + Coming Out
The first conversation of this type at this table had been Charlie, at seventeen, so serious and so scared. He’d looked down at his hands, not meeting Molly’s eyes, or even Arthur’s. The word asexual was whispered like something shameful, and the Weasley parents stumbled over each other to explain that it wasn’t. Shameful. That they loved him anyway.
They walked away from the conversation feeling close to Charlie, glad for the opportunity to be trusted like this, and for the chance to reassure him of their unconditional love. They hadn’t expected the conversation to be the first of many.
Fred’s turn was next, a few years later. He was sixteen, and Molly assumed when he asked for his parents attention at the kitchen table that he was about to confess to the mysterious burn mark on the outside of the house, just under Ron’s attic window. When he instead said that he was bisexual, Molly found herself almost relieved. It was Arthur who did the reassuring that time, though they both hugged him before he left the kitchen.
Ginny’s coming out had been almost casual. She, too, had been sixteen, and had addressed her concerns mainly to her mother, sure that her father wouldn’t fly off the handle. As it turned out, Molly nodded and said that she had known all along, and Arthur laughed and started counting on his fingers.
Harry felt the same conversation necessary, after his breakup with Ginny. He looked, while pronouncing the words, as if he had put something very sharp in his mouth and was getting up the courage to swallow it. “You’ve taken me in and I broke up with your daughter, and I might start dating boys and I’m – I, I’m sorry.”
Molly’s heart broke, like it always does when Harry’s lack of parental affection throughout his life shines through, and she reached for him, reassuring him that of course it was alright, they loved him like one of their sons, he doesn’t need to hide this about himself. Arthur laughed. “You saved three of our lives, Harry, and then the entire world. It would take a lot more than bisexuality to put us off of you.” It shocked Harry that he hadn’t been the one to use the word, but they had known anyway. He felt so much lighter, so much freer having told someone other than Ginny how he felt. The entire world felt within his grasp, now, with such a strong base of love to draw from.
The last conversation - of their children, at least, their grandchildren were going to have their own sets of comings-out - didn’t happen at the kitchen table, but rather, at the front door on Christmas Eve, when Oliver Wood, dressed to the nines and bearing a beautiful poinsettia and a bottle of elf-wine, trailed happily behind Percy. “Mother, you remember Oliver from our school days. I’ve brought him tonight as my partner,” Percy said, in a voice that left no room for disapproval or argument. “I would have brought him before, but we didn’t want to steal Ginny’s thunder from the wedding.”
Molly smiled, kissed Percy and thanked Oliver for the poinsettia, seemingly nonplussed, and just happy to everyone she loved, and everyone her children loved all under one roof.
I was trying to write a post about how I could not believe that six months after meeting Even, Isak is now the type of person who gets up at eight, even when he doesn’t have school, and the type of person who actually likes pictures in which people make fun of him instead of like, freaking out but then I remember how soft Isak’s voice sounded when he was talking to Even in that car on Monday and you know what. I can. I absolutely can.

Imagine having to remind Dean who you are every five minutes when he is under the remembrance spell.... and eventually you have to wear a sticky note.

“And who are you?”
“I am the girl you claim to love every time you walk out the door.”
“Oh. So you and I…” he began to point between you both.
“Yeah baby.”
“Sweet.” He replied, yet several minutes later, “Ma’am I think you have the wrong room.”
“Dean, would it help if I wore a sticky note?” You replied, as he looked at you in wonder.
“How do you know my…”
“We have been dating for about five years now, we met at the roadhouse, I was Jo’s best friend. You and I started sleeping together the first night you were there. Jo was furious, and you and I just laughed. Soon it went from nightly flings when you and Sam rolled into town, to I tagged along. You told me you loved me first, I made you a pie, and you said, “[Y/F/N] [Y/L/N] I will Love you until the day you stop making me pie. I however was the first one to kiss you not during sex, it was raining and you gave me your jacket so that I won’t freeze. I kissed you as soon as we got in the Impala.”
“Oh… maybe a sticky note would help.” He replied as he started towards the sticky notes, scribbling something down. Then he walked over and pressed the note firmly to your chest.
“There, now I won’t forget.” He smiled, before leaning down and kissing your hair. Returning to his seat as you looked back to the screen.
“Hey Wife, what is this?” He asked, pointing to the unlabeled book.
“Well that is a book. Did you just call me Wife?”
“That is what your sticky note says.” He pointed as you looked down at the note and saw Dean’s chicken scratch, ‘Wife.’
A smile spread on your face as you looked back at him, “yeah, I guess it does.”

“Hello Dean.”
“Did I….”
“Write Wife in my sticky note, post it to my chest and called me wife the whole time because you forgot I was your girlfriend every five minutes. Yea you did, but hey, now you have given me something I am never getting rid of.” You smiled
“Well the next irreplaceable thing I sound get you is a gold wedding ring.”Dean answered as he took your hand in his.
“Dean, I think I will stick with just the sticky note for now.” You smiled as you left, happy that you were always going to remember Dean’s amnesia.
Am I doing this right
From the first day I met you, you never let anything go. You’re the most stubborn, on track person I know. You stick to your guns and I’ve always admired that about you. This… This is the first thing you ever let go of something, especially something so fundamentally important to you. Wanting a big happy family is in your blood, your family’s blood, your ancestors blood. Something I never thought you’d compromise, but at that dinner with your parents before our wedding, I realised how much I mean to you.

Is Nepal Older Than India? Which Country is Elder Brother?
0 0
Nepal and India share excellent bilateral ties in terms of traditions, cultures, history and religion. These two countries not only share an open border and uncontrolled movement of people, but they also have close bonds through marriages and family relations.
You might have often heard “Nepal is our brother (Chota Bhai)” from Prime minister Narendra Modi and many other past ministers of India. So, here we are going to look into the saying technically by calculating the age of both countries. I have no intention to hurt feelings of any side; neither create hatred between peoples of these countries. So, please read it for just knowledge and conceptual approach.
Official Records on Establishment of Nepal and India
If we go with the official records Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal (सङ्घीय लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्र नेपाल) was established in 1768 as the Kingdom of Nepal with Unification Campaign by King Prithvi Narayan Shah(officially began in 1743) of unifying all of Nepal that would form modern and lost territories of Nepal. Later On May 28, 2008, the newly elected Constituent Assembly declared Nepal the Federal Democratic Republic.
Whereas India, officially the Republic of India, was founded on 15 August 1947. Present-day India was established when India got independence from Britain. However, the history of India dates back to the ancient period that’s Historical India, not the Republic of India. Official records regarding the establishment of Republic of India and Nepal clearly signify Nepal being 178 Years, 10 months and 21 Days older than India. Nepal is the oldest country among SAARC countries in terms of date of acquisition of sovereignty and Nepal is the only country in the word that was never invaded by any empires of the world. Hope that clears a sensation between most of my Nepalese and Indian brothers
Related: How Nepal Was Formed? Anglo -Gurkha War and British Colonization
So, the ultimate conclusion we could make by taking official records into account is Nepal is older than India. Which means Nepal is the elder brother, not India. But, there is something we should also take in our records is if we go and compare the size of these countries then India is actually 22 times bigger than Nepal. Considering the different approach to compare things, India comes to be a way bigger brother. But for that, we might have to remove brother from our term ‘Big Brother’.
Now, let’s discuss what most of the people get confused about Nepal and India.
Here is what most people got confused…
Indian Subcontinent and Ancient India
Again, that’s what official records do say not me. Some of my Indian friends might be thinking India has existed since the Maurya Empire or some might be wondering Indian subcontinent as India.
Let’s first talk about Indian Subcontinent. Here is what I found on the wiki page about the definition of the Indian subcontinentThe Indian subcontinent, or the subcontinent is a southern region and peninsula of Asia, mostly situated on the Indian Plate and projecting southwards into the Indian Ocean from the Himalayas.” I think that clearly signifies current day India is a part of the Indian subcontinent, not the Indian subcontinent.
Ancient India and Ancient Nepal
Now, let’s come to Ancient India. You might have noticed that I have been using words such as present-day India or current day India. Which is to make a reminder that we are calculating and comparing the ages of both countries on the basis of how these countries evolved to become what they are.
If we look into the Sanskrit epics such as Mahabharata, the term Bharat or Bharatbarsh has been mentioned many times, but that’s historical India, and we cannot take historical India as the Republic of India.
Also, Ancient Nepal has existed for thousands of years. There are no records that clearly defines how long had Ancient Nepal or Ancient India has existed, and neither we can calculate. You can check an article on How Nepal got its name? where you might find an idea of how long Ancient Nepal has existed.
Clearly we are not here to compare ages of Ancient India and Ancient Nepal and neither its’s possible from my side or yours. But, It’s not difficult to compare ages of Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the Republic of India.

That’s my conclusion on the older country between Nepal and India. You can agree or disagree with me; it’s up to you, but please don’t forget to write your thoughts in comments. Also, If you have any opinions or disagree with my conclusions, feel free to use that comment section. I will make sure to look into your good thoughts and will try to include them in the article.
FAQ Related to Nepal
Was Nepal a part of India before?
Nepal has never been part of India. The question misleads many people to Indian subcontinent. Most often people take Indian subcontinent as India. Maybe in ancient times these lands were led by a single king or maybe this whole Asia was under one kingdom but for now there aren’t any historical records mentioning Nepal being part of India.
Is Nepal the oldest country?
Nepal is the oldest country among the South Asia countries. San Marino is said to be world’s oldest republic country and Egypt is considered to be oldest country in the world and
Why Nepal was not ruled by British?
Nepal has never been ruled or Invaded by any country of the world. British tried to capture Nepal but the strong Gurkhas resisted and defeated them thrice till the peace treaty was concluded.

johnon.com Competitive Web & SEO
Update March 2010:
Still quite cumbersome. If you look at the current search results, some webmasters who have been experimenting since Google’s last pronouncement are getting hosed - improperly indexed and in some cases messed up search results for those testing these new methods.
Read the latest descriptions from Google here.
Update October 2009:
Google has released a blog post describing a proposed change to the way we publish information to the web, in order to more robustly support Google’s indexing efforts. In short, Google can’t properly index web pages which change dynamically (such as AJAX-based views) without the publisher helping out. What is the “final state” or perhaps better, what is the state of the page that the publisher wants Google to index?
That has always been the core question, but also represents the sensitive trust point. If Google trusts the publisher to say “this is what should be indexed”, many publishers mis-represent in order to try and rank higher in Google. Google calls this “search spam”. The act of mis-representing to Google what is really in your web page view has been historically called “cloaking”. When you cloak Google, you show Google different page content than you intend to show users that are referred by Google search. Also historically, cloaking can get you banned from Google.
So if Google now wants publishers to use these new HTML constructs (specifically, new alternative URLs that tell Google which state of the AJAX-loaded page is to be considered the “static” state, or the one that should be indexed), how does Google defend against cloaking and search spam?
Perhaps more interestingly, what is the reward for compliance? Better ranking? Or simply indexing? In other words, if you don’t comply with these new Google-specific technical publishing requirements, do you fail to get indexed? And if you then cloak in order to get indexed (using standard HTML), have you broken guidelines and will you get banned?
The competitive webmaster sees all sorts of opportunities problems lurking in this approach. I’m sure Google does as well, which is why Google needs to try and make this an HTML standard or a web publishing standard. As long as it is a Google-specific technology, or perhaps even a search engine specific technology, it will suffer from that uncertain grey area of trust.
Read the announcement, and listen carefully to the future discussions. This is YEARS away, and in the mean time, I can’t ignore the fact that webmaster trust is becoming an essential ingredient in rankings.
Update early 2009: This is an old post, written when AJAX was a new concept. It addresses a philosophy of SEO vs. a culture of using AJAX… but today in 2009 we have advanced well beyond that stage.So to address the issue of SEO and AJAX, I wan to point to a great article on “Hijax”, which is a progressive enhancement approach to designing the AJAX system, while actually impementing AJAX at the end. The result is content that is accessible, and a presentation layer based on dynamic AJAX implementation. Check out DOM Scripting: Hijax. My original blog post on AJAX and SEO follows:
Subtitled: “Meet my 5 sons: all named George” or “Advanced SEO
George Foreman has five sons, all named George. If you were to visit George and he were to introduce you to his sons, he would present each one in turn, call them by their name “George” and then maybe add a second label like (”my second George” or “the smart one” or whatever). He said he named them George because he wanted them to always know who their father was. They are not identical: they just have the same name. You can’t tell them apart by their names, but with the added second label or their looks, you could easily identify them. But not if you were blind. You’d need more info, right?
So how do you name your web pages?
Most webmasters know not to use frames because the frame set URL remains in place as each framed page is displayed. The result is like naming all of your kids George - they all have the same URL. A search engine will see just one “name” and list the one URL as a single page in the search index. Bad idea.
Most webmasters these days also know not to use a URL which is almost exactly the same for multiple pages, differing only by a long “id” value. If it isn’t sufficiently distinct to the search engine spider, it won’t be any different from The Other Page Also Named George. Most web masters are also keeping page titles distinct, as a second label (”the smart George”). More advanced web masters have learned to recognize overly “templatic” web pages, which can look nearly identical to other pages, and suffer a similar identity crisis to nearly blind search spiders (less severe consequences, but still sub-optimal).
But what about modern web applications deploying asynchronous user interface technologies like AJAX, where on-page content (or in-page content) can vary depending on context, not just URL? If the middle paragraph updates via asynchronous server calls, without a page refresh, then the URL hasn’t changed and the new resource (or “view”) becomes just another Web Page Named George. Sure it has different content, but it doesn’t exist as a separate entity according to the search engine labels (URL and page title). In other words, it won’t get indexed.
In the current search world, it is essential that each view full of content that you think defines a valuable, site-defining and user-facing page of content on your site be indexed as a unique web resource. If you collate content to create such views so they are specifically relevant for visitors in a specific context (such as we do when we optimize for SEO… matching views of content to referred search engine visitors), then your hard work collating will be for naught if it doesn’t get labeled and indexed.
So what to do?
Many SEO Advice web sites suggest that you generate a second set of static views (or dynamic, but URL-unique views) to be fed to search engines. I don’t think that is a very creative solution. The Sitemaps protocol is also a way to define views to reflect your pre-defined collections, yet archaic anti-cloaking guidelines (like the one at Google) require that those URLs deliver the same content to both users and search spiders. That makes the sitemap little more than a representation of static content. Again, that’s not very creative. For truly asynchronous, data-based content, it’s also not very practical. There are simply too many possible views.
If you are thinking this issue through analytically, and seeking a practical solution that enables deployment of asynchronous visitor views while simultaneously allowing a statically-labeled set of entry points to exist such that a traditional spidering of that content enables a contextual indexing of the content by labeled URL, go ahead and call yourself an SEO. If you get it done in a way that requires a substantial amount of extra work for a web designer, like maybe creating a second static web site just for search engines, then call yourself a second-tier SEO and try to increase your R&D time or training budget. You’re stuck in old-skool SEO. You’re going to need to update your skills sooner than you might like.
But if you have already mapped out your site’s user experience, and documented the intent and strategy that drives the UI designers to create the asynchronous interfaces deployed, then rest assured you are doing well. You understand the reasons why page sections update asynchronously, the underlying data structures in use behind the scenes, and the link between view and content. You already know how you can use that to define a set of defining views, to be sitemapped and exploited as landing pages. A second set of static pages? You betcha. A lot of extra work? on the contrary. It will probably be defining work for the marketing team, worthy of the effort even without search engines requiring it. It won’t require top-dollar designer and developer hours, but merely DHTML web designer hours. Once you get the basic infrastructure in place to support your “sitemap”, you can endeavor to optimize the site independent of the UI designers, the way nature intended :-)
Now if you find yourself working with a javascript team that has the patience required to document that interface, or one that actually had a strategy in place for the user experience before they built it, or one that is working with a data structure actually designed to support that strategically-defined user experience, consider yourself extremely lucky.
If not, there’s still hope. If you have a good marketing team, you might end up delivering some clue packages to the web too dot oh development primadonnas, along with a proper specification for how they might try and get it a little more right with the next refactoring. In order to keep the SEO bill less than twice the development bill (or less than the first year’s PPC bill). I’m just sayin’, thaz all.

1. matt Says:
can you clarify please?
and, later
A second set of static pages? You betcha.
I’m a developer. can you give me a use-case or real-world example?
2. john andrews Says:
Sure. Instead of creating static pages of your dynamic site (a la sitemap), you need static pages that are strategically designed for your site. It’s not a case of the developer caching pages, but the SEO crafting pages, and working with the developer to generate them.
3. Matthew Brown Says:
Big kudos for an elegantly written piece on a difficult concept. I spend lots of time trying to communicate the same thing to my fellow conscripts, but I’ve never managed to get it as right as you do above.
Of course, I won’t even touch on how difficult it is to get marketing to do ANY sort of defining work ;)
4. john andrews Says:
Thanks Matthew. And your comment on marketing validates you in my book. I have my theories on why that is true, but I’m happy they are finally accepting technology so I won’t risk fracturing any egos at this delicate time ;-)
5. Daniel R Says:
Interesting post, but I’m not sure if that absolutely works for an outside agency coming to a client with a large AJAX/DWR/FLEX driven website.
We are working on a case where a JS-driven navigation links to over > 2,000 pages (or rather “content scenes” since its all AJAX). It is AJAX driven via a custom CMS system and it looks like the chief purpose of the asynchronous updates is to keep load time to a minimum (the “scenes” has plenty of copy and Flash).
Strategically creating static pages is not an option because of the massive amount of content in AJAX and the CMS system that exist on the site already. What we’ve opted for is creating a hybrid system that is quasi-sitemap but not quite.
Basically, the navigation system would be updated from
Fiction > Dickens
Fiction > Dickens
So now, the search engines follow the HREF, while the humans follow onClick.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
6. Daniel R Says:
Sorry, I didnt realize HTML codes were valid for comments. Here’s a retry:
<p>Basically, the navigation system would be updated from</p>
<p><a href="getContent(’fiction’,'dickens’);">Fiction >
<p><a href="http://client.com/books.jsp?scene=fiction&author=dickens">Fiction
> Dickens</a></p>
7. john andrews Says:
@Daniel: It looks like you’ve assigned unique URLs to the content, but outside of context. That’s a necesary step, right? But you know the context for a bulk of pages, if you know the rationale behind the asynchronous loading (as far as content inclusion goes).
A step better is to clean up those URLs in typical SEO fashion,of course, using a front controller or rewrite mapper for your pseudo sitemap. But if possible, why not define views into that content that are context aware? You’re almost there anyway.
It’s difficult to suppose solutions outside of the context of the app. Some of the AJAX stuff I have seen really fits the term “mashup” because that’s what it is.. a mish-mash. So I leave it alone, and index a psuedo-sitemap that is structured.
8. johnon.com - John Andrews - » Does “Advanced SEO” Even Exist? Says:
[…] When I sit in a session at PubCon, the “SEO” panelists repeatedly say things like “you need to make your title tags unique” and “your non-www needs to 301 to your www” and I get so bored I choose to sit next to IncrediBill, just to keep things interesting. But when I work with SEO and AJAX, I get a headache from the depth of the challenge. […]
9. john andrews Says:
UPDATE: I never intended this post to be an SEO for AJAX tutorial. It’s a blog post from an SEO working in the field of SEO, on AJAX and other, advanced SEO topics. BUT, I can certainly clarify and will do so in another AJAX/SEO post on www.johnon.com.

The Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) has published an online survey and a Call for Evidence as part of their Review of Property Income. The aim is to see if the current and often complicated regimes for the taxation of residential property can be simplified. The key area of review is the receipt of residential property income.
Following the publication of its 'Property Income Review Scoping Document' in February 2022, the OTS has followed up with the launch of an online survey and a separate but more detailed Call for Evidence.
The online survey is aimed at those receiving income from residential property rentals. The rentals can be short or long term and include Furnished Holiday Lettings. Views are sought from individuals, partnerships and companies. The survey can be accessed here.
The Call for Evidence is open until 5 June 2022 and can be responded to by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Online meetings are also available for anyone keen to meet with the OTS to express their views. Such a meeting can be requested by 3 May 2022.
The Call for Evidence sets out the following questions, which can be answered in their entirety or in part.
Structural aspects
1. Do any particular issues arise as a result of differences in the tax treatment of property income and income from other investments, such as OEICs, or quoted shares?
2. Does the existence of different regimes for taxing property income and other income from investments lead to any distortions in behaviour?
3. Do any particular difficulties or benefits arise in relation to letting activities as a result of the different rules for the taxation of property income and trading income?
4. What prompts landlords to incorporate their property rental businesses and to what extent are such decisions motivated by tax or non-tax reasons?
5. What are the benefits and drawbacks of having a different regime for taxing property income and capital gains from Furnished Holiday Lettings?
6. To what extent do those owning property taxed under the Furnished Holiday Lettings regime use the property themselves?
7. Have you encountered any issues as a result of changes in a property’s use or ownership, including varying the property ownership percentages?
Operational aspects
8. What factors influence the choice between using the cash basis and accruals basis accounting, where rental income is less than £150,000 a year? How well understood are the implications of using each regime and of moving between these regimes?
9. Are there any difficulties with the operation of reliefs and exemptions available to those with property income?
10. Have you encountered any difficulties in understanding the rules about, or the tax processes involved in, becoming or being a landlord, including HMRC’s information and registration requirements?
11. Do you have difficulties in finding out, getting guidance about or understanding how your property income should be taxed?
Administrative and compliance aspects
12. Are you aware of any information being provided by third parties, for example letting agents or platforms to assist landlords in understanding their tax obligations?
13. Do you think that third parties, such as letting agents, platforms or holiday rental agency businesses, could assist in easing tax administrative burdens and in what ways?
14. To what extent could it be helpful to landlords if letting agents, platforms or holiday rental agents provided data to HMRC on their behalf?
15. What is your experience of completing a tax return to report property income? Are there any specific areas that cause difficulty?
16. Are there any other areas of tax administration that present particular challenges in relation to property income?
17. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax starts in April 2024 and mandates quarterly electronic updates for most individuals with a turnover of over £10,000 for their property (and business) income. Are you aware of these reporting obligations and have you considered how you might comply with them?
18. Are there any other practical, technical and administrative issues in relation to property income that are not mentioned above?
Non-UK aspects
19. Are there any particular issues of concern to non-resident landlords or their tenants (including in relation to the Non-Residents Landlord Scheme)?
20. Do any particular issues arise for UK residents receiving rental income from overseas?

I am thinking on a way, most ideally on a software tool, what could get one of more games of a player, analise them, and gives an estimate on his play strength (as Elo/Glicko rating).
Is it possible? Does such a tool exist?
• 1 - by a computer: maybe average centipawn loss (assuming you adjust for time control) ? 2 - by a human: do you know guess the elo by gotham chess?

Yes it's possible. Sort of. It's one way people have compared the top players throughout history. The basic idea is that you feed the engine the position and the moves played by the players, and see how probable it is for them to play the computer's best move.
I don't know any ready-to-use program for this kind of analysis, however.
• 2
I always encourage to read the primary literature. Newest computer and method: content.iospress.com/articles/icga-journal/icg0012 (article seems to be free) Aug 28 at 8:30
• Ok, but if the game is already quite trivial, it causes a shift into the positive direction. For example, the chess.com custom is that nearly everybody plays until mate and never gives up, because they are a...s. It seems, the readiness to waste the time of the opponent causes a comparative advantage there. Imho this calculation should somehow consider also the hardness to find the current best step.

@GraySheep that's why one of the sentences in that article is "A 2008 analysis, using Rybka 3, showed that Capablanca had the smallest average error factor (i.e. the most accurate play); but after adjusting for factors such as the complexity of positions, the best player came out as Fischer, followed by Capablanca, Karpov and Kramnik." (emphasis mine)

• @GraySheep "nearly everybody plays until mate and never gives up, because they are *****" Even titled players encourage amateurs to play to mate (GM Ben Finegold, IM Levy Rozman, and others). I don't think your comment is evidence-based, and it would really depend on more details (rating, etc., as suggested by these titled proponents). Aug 30 at 12:51
• It is very hard to evaluate how well the algorithm performs when comparing World Champions, almost any result looks reasonable. Has this approach been tested on something that is easier to evaluate, for example a confusion matrix of Category C, B, A, Expert, Master and GrandMaster?

And Now, The Gnus
Question from S.A. (initials, not the Australian state):
What’s the difference between “atheists” and “new atheists” and “gnu atheists?”
Everybody seems to know this but me!
Answer by SmartLX:
Not a whole lot.
A “new atheist” is an ordinary atheist by any definition of the word, so if anything “new atheists” are a subset of atheists. “Gnu atheists” means the same as “new atheists”; it was coined by a “new atheist” (might have been PZ Myers, Jerry Coyne or Ophelia Benson) to make fun of the original term.
The terms “New Atheist” and “New Atheism” were coined in 2006 (probably by Wired) to refer to the authors of popular books about atheism which had all come out around the same time, and the atheist movement they spearheaded. The most prominent “new atheists” are also referred to as the “Four Horsemen”: Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens (cheers, Hitch), Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris.
The perceived unique feature of “new atheists” is that apart from not believing in gods, they want to dispel the religious beliefs of others and challenge religion’s privileged position in society. There’s nothing new about that – Madalyn Murray O’Hair banished compulsory prayer from US public schools in 1963 – but it hadn’t been a prominent issue for some time. A more correct term for “New Atheism” would be atheist activism.
Of course there are worse adjectives than “new”. Since the modern movement hit the big time in 2006, religious respondents to atheist campaigns have done their utmost to permanently affix other words, and paint us all as “angry atheists”, “arrogant atheists”, “dogmatic atheists”, “fundamentalist atheists”, “radical atheists” or “militant atheists”. That last one, despite being coined jokingly by Dawkins, really irritates me, given that almost any other use of the word “militant” implies violence.
One thought on “And Now, The Gnus”

We Aren't Sure Exactly What Happened on Survivor, But Let's Talk About It Anyway

The most chaotic Survivor Tribal Council ended with a surprising torch getting extinguished
I know that this Survivor recap is supposed to, you know, recap what happened on Survivor. But you guys, what happened on Survivor? I don't really know. Jeff Probst doesn't seem to know. The tribe members don't seem to know. The best we can do this week is take a deep breath and go over what we are pretty sure went down, and then discuss what might happen next week.
More:Two Players on Survivor: Game Changers Just Proved Everyone Wrong
The combined Tribal Council
OK, deep breath. After the second challenge, it seemed pretty clear what would happen at a traditional Tribal Council. On the Mana tribe, everyone was super-comfortable about sending Hali home (except for Hali), while the Nuku tribe seemed like it was about ready to oust two-time winner and creepily intelligent mastermind Sandra. But then Jeff Probst dropped a bomb: there would be a combined Tribal Council meeting in which both losing tribes would vote one person out. Wha??
Suddenly, it was looking pretty good to be Hali, and it was pretty scary to be most other people.
Tai continues to be a huge game changer
In a season called Game Changers, perhaps no other player besides Sandra has altered the course of the game more than Tai. Last week, he voted off his kiss-worthy friend Caleb in a move to show his loyalty to the rest of his alliance. This week, he found a clue that led to an much-needed immunity idol. He quickly decided to show it to his alliance and then to give it to Sierra at Tribal Council, saving her from elimination and securing a big win for the whole team. He keeps insisting that he's going to play the game smarter this time around and that he won't let his friendships interfere with his strategies. I'm excited to see where this takes him.
Is Sandra a Jedi? Or what?
Someone please explain to me how Sandra survived for another day? If I were anyone else playing that game, I would jettison her as fast as possible and without a second thought. She has already won the game twice. She is way, way, way too smart and cold-hearted to keep around, and she is easily everyone's biggest threat. And yet the Mana tribe went after Malcolm instead. How is she making it through these Tribal Councils, and is she playing mind tricks? Are people just scared to say her name, like Beetlejuice?
More than anything, she told Probst that she wasn't even worried about going home. “Oh, I’m not worried,” she said. “I know I’m not going home tonight.” Was this true? Did she have some sort of knowledge that no one else had? Or was she bluffing?

Configure Active Directory authentication for SQL Server in Jira server
アトラシアン コミュニティをご利用ください。
This KB article was originally created for older Jira versions. Starting with Jira 7.5.0 and higher, Atlassian switched the database driver being used by Jira upon installation/upgrade to use the official Microsoft database driver when connecting to a Microsoft SQL database. As such Jira is not using the jTDS open source driver it was using in versions such as 7.4.x and previous versions, when this article was created.
As such the steps in this article will not work with Jira 7.5.0 and higher. Instead there is a different KB for how to allow Jira to use that database driver to authenticate to a SQL server in Using Integrated Security with MsSQL for Jira
This feature has not been tested by our QA team and, therefore, its usage is still unsupported. A Suggestion has been raised in order to have this feature tested and considered officially supported, since it's fully supported by the jTDS driver.
Atlassian Support reserves its rights to ask users to rollback this configuration in order to troubleshoot database connection or other related problems.
Depending on the authentication method used by your company, you may need to setup the SQL Server database using an Active Directory credential. Jira doesn't currently support it by default, so you will need to manually change database settings on the dbconfig.xml file.
Follow the procedures indicated below to make possible for Jira to connect with the database using an Active Directory credential.
Special thanks to our customer, William, who provided the workaround here.
1. Open up the dbconfig.xml file.
The file is located in your <JIRA_HOME> directory.
2. Update the <url> key to contain the domainName property
You may need to add the useNTLMv2=true property depending on your environment configuration.
説明 This article describes steps for Jira to connect with the database using an Active Directory credential.

KENWOOD TH-F7E Mini-Review
If you're on the hunt for a very cheap, value-for-money handheld transceiver, you'd do well to consider the discontinued KENWOOD TH-F7E. Of course there's lots of HT's out there on the second hand market, but the feature which makes the F7 stand out from the crowd (apart from its low price) is its wideband rx and its ability to receive HF SSB!
The radio is an FM DualBand 2M/70cm transceiver with a 5W output. It's capable of listening to two separate frequencies at the same time (even on the same band). The ultra-wideband receiver has a wide range of modes including AM/FM/FM-N/FM-W/SSB and even CW!
There's also a wide range of tuning-steps including a very fine step for accurate SSB tuning. Inside the unit is a ferrite-bar for AM Broadcast listening - something which is often omitted in other handheld radios of this type. The only other HT I've owned with a built-in ferrite antenna was the Kenwood D74 (which cost me an arm and a leg).
With two bands available (Main-A and Sub-B), you can monitor any two frequencies of your choice, or if you prefer, you can de-clutter the screen and just have one band active. The Main-A band provides full TX/RX on VHF and UHF, while Sub-B provides RX only from 0.1~1300MHz in any mode.
In addition to the 'rubber duck' and ferrite antennas, Kenwood have made provision for an external antenna to be fitted which makes it very convenient to throw a long wire into a tree and massively improve your SWL capabilities.
Needless to say, this old-timer does not offer any digital modes, so if you're looking for some action in the DSTAR/C4FM/DMR fields, dig deeper into your wallet!
The real beauty of this radio to me is its size and durability. It's tiny and it's tough! And that means it's going to go with you much more often than a bigger radio - especially because it's got such a wideband RX. Okay, so it won't win any awards for selectivity or sensitivity, but if you're out and about up in the hills, it's perfectly adequate and more so with a simple wire connected to it. The radio also suffers from some birdies and these are actually mentioned in the manual. But all in all, it's a great little receiver - especially for this amount of money.
I walked the dog the other day and slipped the F7 into my pocket. I also took a small retractable wire antenna. I knew there was a competition going on and once on top of Winter Hill (just a couple of miles from my home), I threw out my wire into a nearby bush and heard scores of loud, clear stations from all over Europe, Asia and even America on SSB. I could also detect weaker signals but it was much harder work deciphering what they were saying, especially with their accents and the pileups and qsb.
The radio benefits from really good construction methods and it feels incredibly tough (MIL-STD 810 C/D/E) - you certainly don't fuss over it like you might do with other radios. It's also showerproof which is a great thing when you're out and about walking. All the buttons have a very positive feel to them and the Multi-Scroll key makes easy work of the menu system. The only negative here is that there's no illumination for the buttons. The internals of this little marvel are regularly applauded by technicians for the very high quality design and manufacture. "This ain't no Baofeng" 😂
As usual from a Kenwood radio, the audio from the small speaker is pretty darned amazing. I just wish that other manufacturers would learn from Kenwood in this respect. My Elecraft KX3 for example has terrible audio from the loudspeaker and they simply advise you to use a headset instead and to treat the speaker as an emergency backup! That's ridiculous when you see how well Kenwoods sound - even at this diminutive size.
Battery life (1500mAh)?? Well it's pretty good actually. Even though it's not like the modern batteries of today, it really does surprise you how long it lasts, so much so that I'm not even thinking about searching for battery options.
Finally, this radio has over 400 Memories available for programming and with its fast scan-speed and wide coverage, it makes an excellent Scanner too! Scanning the AirBand produced good results but I would say not quite as good as a dedicated AirBand receiver. Still, most people would be using an AirBand scanner at and Air Show or close to an airport and in those circumstances, it performs flawlessly.
I bought my first TH-F7E from eBay for the princely sum of £75 including carriage. It came with all the original bits and bats, manual and even the original box.
So there you have it. An excellent little radio for the Radio Ham or the SWL.

Creating an easy woodworking project with your kids will be a lot of fun. Not only does it stimulate and encourage their creativity but it also boosts their sense of self confidence. All children are proud of their accomplishments. Think back to your kindergartner, every time he or she came home with a handmade project it was easy to see the joy in their faces. Many people would think that creating a woodworking project is a difficult job and that children will not be able to do it. However, it completely depends upon what is being made.
Kids are perfectly capable of completing easy woodworking projects. Of course the level of complexity depends on their age and the appropriate adult supervision. Thus, children of all ages can enjoy simple creations. Of course, the more level of involvement from a parent or adult supervisor the better and more complex the project can be. The ideal times to embark on a new task are the summer holidays, during winter breaks, or any other spare time during the year. Let’s get the kids away from their video games and television sets and an engage them in a great hobby.
Firstly, parents should be responsible for suggesting a project that is within the capability of the children involved. Kids will always want to make something big. Smaller projects are always ideal. It needs to be simple and able to be finished in a short amount of time. We all know that some children have very short attention spans. However, the item that is selected should be something that the kids think is fun and attractive.
Some easy woodworking projects for kids are small furniture toys. Such as tables, chairs, beds, and doll houses. Children also tend to enjoy small craft items like tic-tac-toe game boards, pen or crayon holders, wooden book markers, picture frames, or stands for different small articles. They all involve some creativity and the kids will love them. Make sure there are a lot of non-toxic glue, paints and decorations such as ribbons available for decoration. These are only a few simple ideas for smaller kids. However, older children can get involved in more complex tasks, as well.
Older kids that are able to wield tools such as a hammer and nails or a simple saw will be able to easily create simple bookshelves, bird feeders, bird houses, toy cars and planes, etc.,. Woodworking as a hobby has become quite popular; as a result there are many books available on the subject. Do not be afraid to embark on an easy woodworking project with your kids. It will be great fun for all involved.

Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown’s" Apocalypse
Essay by ME3College, UndergraduateA, November 1996
download word file, 4 pages 5.0 1 reviews
Downloaded 254 times
Most criticism and reflection of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown centers on a good versus evil theme. Critics also debate interpretations of the main character's consciousness; is Brown awake or dreaming. What is certain is that he lives and dies in pain because his belief in his righteousness isolates him from his community. It is also certain that Hawthorne's interpretation of Brown's 'mid-life crisis' has ambiguity and leaves a reader with many different feelings about what and why certain things have happened. Hawthorne's use of symbolism in his allegorical tale Young Goodman Brown causes the main character's revelations about the sin within his community, his family and himself.
Young Goodman Brown's journey into the forest is best defined as a kind of 'general, indeterminate allegory, representing man's irrational drive to leave faith, home, and security temporarily behind, for whatever reason, and take a chance with one(more) errand onto the wilder shores of experience' (Martin).
Brown has a curiosity that 'kills' his naive outlook on life and changes him until his death. He has a mission to go into the forest and meet the devil. A mission that he begins out of curiosity and a 'deep need to see if the teachings of his childhood, his religion, and his culture, have armed him sufficiently to look the devil in the face and return unscathed' (Hodara 1). The symbol of the forest, late at night, can be interpreted as the untamed regions of Brown's heart where the devil roams freely as he roams in the forest. The forest is the devil's domain. Brown finds, in the dark of the night, many of his daytime friends share this domain with the devil. What he considers moral and 'good' in his life he finds in the forest. This torments his perception of practically...

Companies are pulling advertising from Google's YouTube and programmatic advertising platforms in the U.K. in protest of Google's treatment of extremist content. Video provided by TheStreet Newslook
A growing number of advertisers have recently pulled their advertising business from Google's video service YouTube after their ads ran with offensive and extremist content.
But how did those ads even wind up near such content? The answer: programmatic advertising.
Programmatic advertising is an automatic software-driven system for advertisers to pay in advance for ads to run acrossonline content including social media, websites and video on computers and portable devices.
Much of the $83 billion that research firm eMarketer expects to be spent on U.S. digital ads this year — more than is spent on TV or any other media — is executed via programmatic.
"Everything is done instantaneously, billing and transactions are done in milliseconds across a massive ecosystem and trillions of impressions are delivered," said Chris Loretto, executive vice president at Digital First Media, which participates in programmatic ad sales across the sites and apps of its 106 newspapers including The Denver Post and San Jose Mercury News. DFM also has Adtaxi, a digital marketing agency, that buys programmatic ads as well as delivers ads across search, social and email.
How does programmatic advertising work?
Think of the system as akin to computerized trading on the stock market: it happens in milliseconds. In traditional advertising, a company looking to run ads chooses a particular network TV show or time block, or newspaper or magazine. With programatic advertising, a digital advertiser can tweak delivery of its ads to certain consumer demographics (age, sex, location), behaviors and other characteristics. "So this technology takes all the data and automates it, matching the buyer and the seller at prices that everybody is agreeable with," Loretto said.
How does an ad wind up on an offensive or extremist article or video?
Sometimes the customer demographics overlap with online content that can be offensive, and a programmatic ad will be delivered to such a site. "Right now with all the algorithms they cannot guarantee to an advertiser that their ads won’t be on some kind of site that is problematic," said Miro Copic, a marketing expert at San Diego State University and co-founder of BottomLine Marketing.
How can they fix it?
YouTube is working on the problem; it and other sites have technicians manually monitoring video content to prevent problem match-ups. But even as the boycott grows daily, its automated system continued to place ads from major brands, which has led to more companies including Coca-Cola, GM and Starbucks to pull ads from YouTube, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Part of the problem? YouTube is a network that showcases user-generated content, so the volume grows infinitely. When someone reports a problem, that video or content can be flagged and will not have specific brand ads displayed. "In the short term it can be a very manual process," Copic said.
The major players in the growing digital ad industry are "very focused around improving the ad ecosystem," Digital First's Loretto said. "But it’s not an easy answer to what might seem like an easy question.
Who wins in this situation?
Eventually, consumers will win because better ad delivery mechanisms will be developed. In the short term, competitors to Google and Facebook could have an opening to gain some digital ad sales. Yahoo, which delivers ads via search, mobile and video, or Microsoft, which offers search ads through its Bing network, "can go to those guys and say, 'Look, we can provide you more reliable targeting and even guarantee the audience," Copic said. "So it provides an opportunity for the other players."
Possible losers?
The biggest players, Google's YouTube and Facebook, have the most to lose. Google is tops in digital ad revenue, due to attract nearly 41% of all spending this year. Coming in at No. 2 is Facebook, expected to generate $16.3 billion, compared to the $33 billion Google is expected to get.
And YouTube is a growing digital ad sales generator for Google, expected to account for more than 10% of its total revenue, eMarketer estimates. It's already suffering lost revenue in the short-term from a boycott that's included JPMorgan Chase, AT&T, Verizon and Johnson & Johnson in the U.S. More than 250 organizations including McDonald's, Toyota and the British government have halted their advertising on YouTube in the U.K., according to The Times, whose investigation triggered the boycott.
"Brands want to see some kind of accountability on their audience and they have this second issue that their ads are being seen in places they would prefer not," said Copic.
However, "if Google comes back quickly and says, 'This is what we’re doing to do: A, B and C,' I think the advertisers come back," Copic said. "Maybe they temporarily reduce spending in the short-term, but they will get back to that spending level if Google is able to address the problem."

I Found You.❤️
✨Love ~ Serve ~ Inspire✨
Quest by Susan Frybort
Take me past
the guarded place
in you
where confusion
covers itself
in unrelenting confidence
then marches on
In lively steps
Take off the facade
let it fall away
into nowhere
Turn around and face me
I search the infinite depth
where beyond all entrenchments
I find your thirst
to be met
and understood
the sadness in your bones,
the want of your silent cries
to be heard
and be known—
abiding within those
unseen landscapes
is a world of precious
Let me touch where
the battle wounds
lie quietly healing—
Buried beneath
an armored sheath
rests a lifetime of love
and loneliness,
blame and triumph,
honor and defeat
Within this blended web
of scars and treasures,
glistening with honesty,
there you are—
beneath the soldier’s plated heart
So loosen the knots around my own
see all its agony bared and…

Don’t give up on a MIRACLE!
I will do the impossible for you. The love I have for you is endless. I will intensify your experience of My love as you seek more of Me. Is there something in front of you that looks impossible? When it looks like everything has blocked our way and there is no one near you to help, I will make it easy for you. Grace will always empower you to sacrifice your personal wishes as you worship in My presence. Strength replaces weakness, grace floods into your impossibility, and I will make it easy for you. The burden you carry must be laid down as you take up My easy yoke and learn of Me. I will enrich your soul, enflame your heart, and give you a greater joy. Song of Songs describes God’s love for us as an unquenchable fire. Imagine standing before that fire and throwing in all of the impossibilities of your life. See them go up in flames!Brian Simmons
“Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being.
Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame.
Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore.” — Song of Songs 8:6-7, The Passion Translation
Miracle Question Exercise:
Imagine you go to sleep tonight and you awake tomorrow morning. During the night a miracle happened and, when you wake up, your most positive dreams for your future have come true. Remember, a miracle has occurred, so you are waking up to your life as you would ideally like it to be. At this point, you may have only hazy visions of your ideal future, so to help you be specific about what the real life changes would be for you, think about your answers to the following questions:
1. How do you feel when you awake?
2. What is the first thing you will do?
3. Your best friend arrives. Immediately, they notice things have improved. What specific changes do they see?
4. What happens next in your day?
Give a detailed account of the whole day of your ideal life when everything is just as you would ideally want it to be. There are no limits!
This exercise is called the miracle question. It is a question that coaches often ask their clients in order to help them process what they want to change about themselves and their lives.
Adapted from De Shazer, S. (1988, p. 78), Clues: Investigating solutions in brief therapy, New York: Norton
Miracle (Lyrics) by Unspoken
Have you stopped reaching
No longer seeking greater things
Have you forgotten
You have a Father listening
He tells the sun when to rise
Gives the wind its breath
Swings a door wide open and
Moves in the moment you least expect
Don’t you give up on a miracle
You’ve got to speak to the impossible
You gotta
Pray till your breakthrough breaks through the ceiling
Keep on believing
Don’t you give up
Don’t you give up
On a miracle
How many chances
How many answers
Pass us by
You know it takes faith
To step on the waves
When you’re terrified
When you’re backed in a corner
And you can’t wait any longer
Don’t you give up on a miracle
You’ve got to speak to the impossible
You gotta
Pray till your breakthrough breaks through the ceiling
Keep on believing
Don’t you give up
Don’t you give up
On a miracle
Feels like the prayers and the words you have spoken
They go unnoticed
Like drops in the ocean
Just beyond the veil of your vision
Your mountains are moving, moving on
Remember the works His hands have done
Where you once were and how far you’ve come
Don’t you give up on a miracle
You’ve got to speak to the impossible
You gotta
Pray till your breakthrough breaks through the ceiling
Keep on believing
Don’t you give up
Don’t you give up
On a miracle
Out Of Alignment
1. Make the first move (shows maturity).
2. Handle with humility.
Who do you need to reach out to?
You’re Going Someplace New!

A follow up question: If we want to send a device to an end user BNITB and we don't want them to have to go to Google Play to get the airwatch app (they will not have an account set up yet) - can you enroll devices just by SMS or does the app need to be on the device first.
If it does, how do you get that on to 1600 devices prior to sending to the user.

A-1 North Carolina
by agoodnow
So I just saw that the great state of North Carolina has decided to ban gay-marriage. OK. Got it. Marriage = important. Very, very important. I see that. Clearly your former US Senator and US Presidential candidate (who you all in NC elected) was very much about how important marriage between ONE man and ONE woman is.
Kids, you can’t OR FOR THAT MATTER shouldn’t have it both ways. If marriage is so fucking vital, so sacred, so high on your mantle I have a suggestion. If for one year. Just one, no heterosexual marriages result in divorce, you can have your law. Until then, shut the fuck up. Marriage is treated like a revolving door. It is nowhere near sacred and from what I have seen Republican men tend to hump women like rabbits (I single out Republican men because they are the ones wanting to ban gay marriage – I am not saying Democrats don’t have the same problem) A couple examples – you know, fuck it, let’s just think about the candidates for the Republican nomination and their conduct. Multiple wives, affairs, divorces, harassment.
I am sick of the double standard. Just because you believe in a book doesn’t give you the right to dictate how other people live their lives. Imposing a standard for one class of people while excluding another is, well, wrong. I think we learned about this in Kindergarten. Let’s all treat each other fair, regardless of what we consider true, factual reading material.
In the end, I just want the government to have less impact on laws telling people what they can and cannot do with relations to an action that DOES NOT HURT ANYONE ELSE. If two women want to get married how on earth does that have an adverse effect on someone who
a) does not know them
b) will never have to interact with them
c) would never know if they were married or not unless they burdened themselves to find out
If you don’t like the idea of gay people getting married stay in your church where you don’t have to see it. This is the real world. People of the same sex will love each other, they will have lives together, and they should be able to get married, thus sharing in the ability to gain benefits as a family. The same way heterosexual people do, because that is what people who want to make a life together do, they get married.
I will end with this –
I don’t get it and am very glad I do not live in North Carolina. The integrity of individual rights is paramount to some people…….as long as those individual rights are their own and in line with interpretation from a book written 2,000 years ago.

How Does Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction Deal With Multiple Languages?
One of the stumbling blocks of international child custody cases is the fact that there may be multiple languages being used in official documents such as Custody Orders, Final Judgments of Parenting Plans and Statements of Decision. The Hague Convention has a plan for how conflicts between countries can be resolved, and part of that plan is a set up for official language options.
Official documents need to be translated into the official language of the requested country, and if that is not possible there are two options, French or English, which may be used as a default translation language.
Article 24
Any application, communication or other document sent to the Central Authority of the requested State shall be in the original language, and shall be accompanied by a translation into the official language or one of the official languages of the requested State or, where that is not feasible, a translation into French or English. However, a Contracting State may, by making a reservation in accordance with Article 42, object to the use of either French or English, but not both, in any application, communication or other document sent to its Central Authority.

Christianity in Exile and Christian Higher Education
Some disconnected thoughts in search of a thread:
I’ve been reading Lawrence Wright’s The Looming Tower, where he describes the seeds of the terror attacks of 9-11-01. One of the things he describes, not a central theme but a recurring motif, is the Islamic educational system and how the Islamists–Qutb, al-Zawahiri, bin Laden–understood its role and used it (especially in the case of Qutb, whose calling was educational philosophy) to transform and radicalize.
This got me thinking about the similarities shared by the Islamic approach to education, the Catholic approach to education (at least when it was ascendent), and the approach to Christian higher education in America today.
Islam’s vision for education is inspiring and frustrating. Inspiring in its understanding of the centrality of education and the centrality of religion to education: faith-centered learning, faith-centered inquiry, at least in some ways uncompartmentalized. All knowledge, learning, enculturation is/was done in the light of the central truths of Allah, scripture, etc. (See the parallels with Catholic education in its ascendency.)
In our modern Western system, faith is marginalized or treated with contempt. Faith is seen as bloodless and powerless. And the place of faith in education is similarly hollow. Part of the fault may be pluralism: how can we use faith as the lens for inquiry if we can’t agree on what faith is, or what the tenets of faith should be? Even in the places where faith IS central to education, we do not have unity on these issues.
Is there a way to do Christ-centered education in a pluralistic world, where religious convictions and particulars are not shared, where they do not dominate the conversation? Perhaps the Jewish model, the Jewish approach, where the attitude is separatist? Not education-from-empire, education that begins with the idea of cultural dominance, but education-as-exiles?
Much has been said recently about how Christianity is in exile in the modern world. Can Christianity be said to be “in exile” in a country so rife with the trappings of Christianity, so “Christ haunted”? What does it mean to be “in exile”? Is there a theology of living “in exile”? How does exile relate to empire?
That’s my next post, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

Each and every domain that's registered and hosted has quite a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if required. For example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; the MX records reveal where the emails are handled, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify certain records permits you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. While you will be able to set up and modify these records freely and with no limits as you own a given domain name, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting
You're going to have 100 % control of the DNS records of your domain addresses and subdomains with any of our Linux cloud hosting. Through the Hepsia hosting CP, you are going to be able to access an easy-to-use tool where you can find all present records or create new ones with no more than a few clicks. As well as the standard A and MX records, you can create CNAME, TXT, SRV, and you could also set up private name servers for any domain address which is registered through our company. The custom records will offer you a lot of overall flexibility and will enable you to do things like hosting a subdomain on our servers while the main domain is hosted somewhere else or or vice versa, employing a third-party e-mail service, and so on. We are never going to ask for any fees from you to be able to manage the DNS records of your domain addresses plus the service comes by default with all shared plans.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Linux semi-dedicated servers are controlled through our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and one of its features is an easy-to-use DNS records tool where you're able see all present records for each domain name or subdomain that you host in the account. With only a couple of clicks you'll be able to modify any existing record or you can create a new one if you need it for any purpose. This will enable you to pick the provider for each individual service - as an example, for a given domain you could have the site here, the emails through a second provider along with a VOIP service that uses the same Internet domain as a host through a third one. Our system allows you to modify or create any sort of records you need - NS, A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, AAAA, and so forth., and we will never ask you for any fee to be able to access and manage these records as other companies may do.

Reports of Japanese gaming markets decline are exaggerated
Destructoid's Brittany Vincent; " A popular rumor in gaming nowadays is the decline of the Japanese gaming industry. This seems to be espoused by news outlets, financial reporters, and even Japanese developers themselves. Through various interpretations of the data Japan does seem to be falling out of love with the hobby, especially on consoles. However, the truth is much more benign than the rumors would lead you to believe."

The story is too old to be commented.
GeofferyPeterson924d ago
They've got better things to do then play video games.
Metallox924d ago
Seems old, but what's that?
XiSasukeUchiha924d ago
PS4 could be the reason, I don't know, but who's knows?
eyeofcore924d ago
Japan is like No Games on PlayStation 4 and just backing out from it.
It has no bombs or bullets to speak off...
Godmars290923d ago
Its that the games and support which should have been there in the first place, the arcade middleware titles like Gundam and JRPGs, and showing up.
I expect the same will be true of the PS4: for all the graphical power and AAA title hype, its going to be the slightly upgraded "cheap" titles that bring in the otaku.
DCfan923d ago
I don't know what you mean by cheap or otaku.
I enjoyed several "otaku" games despite not being into anime or whatever because most of them are fun and don't take themselves seriously.
Mainly the Neptune series.
Godmars290923d ago
"I don't know what you mean by cheap or otaku."
I mean little to no improvement in production value. A PS3 game that's basically the "original" PS2 version.
masterfox923d ago
Of course is in declined, mediocre games, japanese games flooded with almost anime girls only games, developers are lazy as hell almost all of them want to move mobile gaming(squareenix), Nintendo flooding the japanese market with short period games, in other words the japanese developers are killing the gaming market, only a very few of them want to push the envelope in terms of gaming yes I'm talking about Kojima, there are other circumstances that is affecting games in Japan but all of them are pointing to the developers fault. Putting games on the PS4 I think is even easier and cheaper than ever before, I mean look what western/UK Indies are doing.
So developing costs getting higher I think is a complete BS, Japan just got lazy in game development thats the main issue.
DCfan923d ago (Edited 923d ago )
You haven't been playing many japanese games have you?!
Killing the game market?! what??!!! XD
So tell me what are the western devs doing aside from milking dlcs and making same old shooters?
madjedi923d ago (Edited 923d ago )
Versus japanese devs making the same old jrpgs, monster hunter clones or visual novels/dating simulators.
Drop the bullshit western games are garbage and japanese games are superior mentality.
They make different genres that appeal to different tastes, neither is better than the other except in ones opinion.
@fox Man you need to do some reading up, before you comment on this topic ever again.
Development cost rising this gen is absolutely true, that's why most jrpgs not named final fantasy, look like little more than up rezzed ps2 games vs most western games.
Japanese devs are more comfortable with a high lvl ps2 or low end ps3 game budget, it has jack and shit to do with the devs being lazy, untalented or other non sense.
Alinea923d ago

16 Rising Artists of the Asian Diaspora in the United States
Harley Wong, Artsy , May 21, 2021
Maia Cruz Pailileo’s oeuvre are gestural reflections on both familial oral history and colonial documents. Heavily influenced by photographs and stories related to her family’s migration from the Philippines to the United States, Palileo’s work initially explored her own personal archives. She dressed her figures in patterns drawn from her aunt’s shirts and decorated interiors reminiscent of the house her grandmother grew up in. Several paintings, such as Afterward (2019), take place in classrooms, referencing both American re-education campaigns and Palileo’s maternal grandmother’s occupation as an English teacher.
Palileo’s scenes, rendered in broad and loose brushstrokes, imagine Manila as her ancestors would have experienced it and parallel the fragmentary nature of memory to present an alternative history. Existing between figuration and expressive abstraction, the worlds she creates embody what the artist has called her hyphenated or malleable concept of home.

Something Different for Joomla!
She can almost front at how she doesn't need a man.
She can almost play at how far she's come from the hood.
She can almost pretend that the past doesn't mean a thing.
But everybody knows. . .
Mercedes decided a long time ago that she'd never let a man walk all over her the way some women did. Love was something from fairy tales and TV movies of the week. She needed men for one thing only-and it had nothing to do with her heart. Growing up her mother made sure of that.
Now Mercedes has to travel home to southern Georgia, where her mama, Miss Betty, is recovering from surgery. Back to the rickety old house that holds a lot of memories for her. If she could only learn to deal with the bad ones…
Because a man has come into her life, a fine, bald-headed, churchgoing black man-the kind of man Mercedes never dared believe in. And she's going to have to get herself together to deal with what Darius is doing to her life-and what he's hiding about his own…

Lisa Stansfield has revealed she can't shake her 80s hit All Around The World.
The pop star - who had a global smash hit with the single in 1989 - has just released a new album, her first in 10 years. But she admitted her 25-year-old hit was still fresh in people's minds.
Lisa said: "People come up to me and sing, 'Been around the world and I-I-I-I...' all the time.
"It's really funny because I've got an album out again and it's on my mind. When someone says, 'Hiya Lisa, I love your record', I think they mean the new one and it's lovely, but then it turns out they mean All Around The World and I think, 'Oh b****y hell!' I can't shake it off.
"But if that's the way it is, that's the way it is. I'm not complaining. You can't get rid of your past, and if it wasn't for that song, I wouldn't be back here now."
The 48-year-old admitted she had "sat on my a***" for a long time, but she and her musical partner-turned-husband Ian Devaney had decided to take a break.
"I didn't think anyone was going to listen to what I had to say, so why bother?" she admitted.
She added: "People ask why I haven't had an album out for 10 years, and I could've done an album a year, but it would have been 10 albums of rubbish. Also, I have sat on my a*** for a portion of that time, let's be honest."
:: Lisa Stansfield's album Seven is out now. She begins a UK tour on September 5.

Not like the "howling" of my former neighbors who liked to shout and show out during Saturday nights in one of five saloons that out-numbered our little farm town's three churches back in the 1940s.
I'm talking about the primal "call of the wild," the howling that originated with wolves before man domesticated multiple breeds of dogs ... the type of wolf howls that send shivers down your spine.
The late great author/TV personality Charles Kuralt showed an appreciation for wolves and their howling in his last book - "American Moments" - penned before his death on Independence Day 1997.
The author travelled to Minnesota to find Jim Brandenburg, whose professional photography specialty was wolves. But Branden also enjoyed the soulful-sounding "howls" of wolves.
"I'd almost rather hear the wolves than see them, because that howl is so enchanting and so primal," Kuralt quoted Brandenburg. "Howling is very serious business to a wolf.''
But outdoorsman Brandenburg "had qualms" about visiting wolves too often, according to Kuralt: "Howling is serious business to him (Brandenburg), too. And he tries not to impose too often on the animals that have become - as much as wild animals can - his friends.
Brandenburg shared that he missed hearing the wolves if he stayed too long out of Minnesota's wilderness: "Every once in a while, you need a fix."
Brandenburg was also accomplished at mimicking a good soulful wolf "howl."
"He howls, and sometimes from out in the distance, a wolf howls back," Kuralt shared.
Wolves have disappeared in most regions of today's America, but they were still numerous in massive Nigger Wool Swamp that formed on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River at the same time as Reelfoot Lake's swamp formed on the Tennessee side of Big Muddy during the massive New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-1812.
Legendary river trapper (the late) "Uncle" Harry Robinson is credited with killing the last wolf known to roam and howl in that swamp that formerly covered six counties before the big swamp was drained around 1910, to convert Southeast Missouri's "Bootheel" region into an agrarian economy.
Uncle Harry, shortly before he died in the 1980s, shared a very ominous "wolf story" with me: "I was in one of our town's saloons, have a dram of whiskey, when this other hunter invited me to go hunt some wolves. This was around 1912, when wolves still inhabited Nigger Wool Swamp.
"Since I was in charge of Daddy's prized oxen being used to construct the first 'corduroy road' to aid people coming in and out of the swamp, I refused to go hunt wolves," Uncle Harry shared. "About a week later, the law came into the swamp, to find that hunter seated in a cabin kitchen that belonged to this family named Wolf. He'd killed all Wolf family members, and was eating at the family's kitchen table when Old John Law came to arrest him."
In the Whittle clan, "howling" by one of our farm dogs goes back to Oct. 28, 1950 ... the night after Daddy's funeral, following his death in a grinding car wreck on Oct. 25, 1950.
That's when "Hitler," our dog, began his deep-throated long, slow and mournful howling into the dark of late night ...
Hitler was my farm Dad's constant companion.
When Daddy plowed with our stubborn mule named "Burt," Hitler took every step they made through the countless rows of soybeans.
Daddy Whittle perished in a grinding car crash in 1950.
Hitler had never "howled" before when Daddy was frequently away from our farm home for extended days and nights as a Mississippi riverboat gambler at Cairo, Ill., during non-farming cold winter months.
Although I was only six years old, I remember the funeral vision of cotton gin workers, lining our little farm town's mile-long Main Street, with their lint-covered hats held over their hearts, as Daddy, a man of the soil, rolled by in the hearse from Albritton Funeral Home out of nearby Sikeston, Mo.
That night, Oct. 28, 1950, Hitler began howling for the first time.
Question: Since we never took Daddy's body back to the farm house following the car wreck, how did Hitler know that his master had died?
Hitler's howling, which lasted about 3 months after Daddy died, still echoes in this former farm boy's soul!

The answer to New Life is YES!
The Answer to a New Life is "YES!!"
**By Steve Thomas, Executive Director, NLS
Can someone that grew up in poverty, never knowing anyone in their family that ever worked, develop skill sets to acquire and maintain a good job? Can someone that is trapped, in what we will call taxpayer-funded poverty, break free, know the love of God, and the dignity of work? Taxpayer-funded poverty is the terminology I use for the government programs that keep people locked into poverty not allowing them to achieve independence and be self-sufficient. The answer to a new Lifescape is YES.
First of all, man was made to work In Genesis 2:15, the Bible says “the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it.” So even from the beginning of creation, God intended for us to work. Work gives an individual a sense of dignity; and dignity gives a person a sense of self-respect, and self-respect instills pride and confidence.
This leads to self-esteem, which is really just confidence in one’s own worth and ability. Low self-esteem breeds low self-esteem in a cycle of self-doubt. Low self-esteem creates problems like depression, anxiety, and isolation. The type of problems we see with people trapped in government housing and in a system that has become a way of life for them. High self-esteem likes challenge and stimulation of worthwhile and demanding goals and reaching such goals, nurture good self-esteem. It’s a cycle, just like the cycle that people get stuck in from generation to generation in taxpayer-funded poverty. Success can be a cycle too.
“For I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord,’ plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) If you are living the way I just described, you are not living the way God planned for you. You see God never planned for his creation to live in poverty. Poverty is a blight on the creation of God and this blight is preserved through taxpayer-funded poverty.
There are now multiple generations of people and families that have grown up and lived under taxpayer-funded poverty. The problems created in families are immense under these circumstances. However, I want to talk today about the individual. Most of us have the skills to learn and develop our mind and support ourselves while helping others. Many people living in the situation being described have some things in common.
They’ve been diagnosed, many times, with some type of mental illness, or they have
developed symptoms of depression and anxiety that is really more situational than organic. Problems with attention for instance, such as concentrating on a task and sustaining focus. An inability to regulate emotions, such as being quick to anger or crying often for no apparent reason is common. Impulse control is a big issue with control over behaviors and impulses such as drug use or overspending. People living in taxpayer-funded poverty often have no initiative to begin a task or project without being told to do so.
Anyone of these issues or a combination of these problems can affect self-esteem, self-respect, and the ability to function. What comes out of that is depression, anxiety, mood swings, suicidal ideations, and possibly psychiatric hospitalization.
While dealing with these internal struggles, people are trying to figure out how to keep a roof over their head and feed their families. The good news is many of these things that I listed above are issues that New Lifescape Ministry can help you work through. It will not be easy and you will have to trust us, trust God, and work with the team of loving people that we put around you. We can help you if you want to escape the life you have under taxpayer-funded poverty.
You can do it!
I’ve helped people and I’ve seen people grow, thrive, and lead productive lives. What God created you for is …love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control… (Galatians 5:22-23) All these things are promised to you by God, and with God’s guidance, New Lifescape Ministry can help you thrive and prosper.
**Steve is the founding Executive Director of New LifeScape. Steve has a BA in business and a Masters Degree in Counseling.

Tips for Recruiting
1. Continually recruit, even when you don't have a vacancy. Everyone you meet is a potential employee! Establish contacts and networks both inside and outside the university. For example, collect resumes for possible future openings at national meetings. Keep resumes on file at all times.
2. Start thinking like an athletic coach and go out and find the talent you need! Don't put an ad in the paper and sit back and wait.
3. Treat every vacancy like it's the only chance you have to increase your department's diversity.
4. Carefully and seriously consider internal candidates, who may have an edge due to university knowledge and a proven track record.
5. Use student internships and part time openings to try out possible future employees.
6. Write the position description correctly so that duties and qualifications are not too broad or narrow. This will ensure a decent pool of qualified applicants.
7. Utilize faculty and staff to assist with outreach.
8. Good candidates may have a variety of options and have to be "courted." The personal touch really makes a difference. This means making potential employees feel welcome through informal discussions and meetings with a variety of university personnel. If a candidate is from out of the area, help the family get to know the area.
9. Dual Career Resources offers helpful information for spouses if you are recruiting one member of a dual income couple.

After our daughter graduated from college with a degree in wildlife biology, she landed her first job in a tiny (population 69) not-much- more-than-an-intersection town in rural New Mexico. As she was introduced to her neighbors, she was informed that she would be a member of the local fire department. When she told them she had no training, she was informed that she would receive bunker gear and enough instruction to help out. She was not asked; she was told. In a rural area of ranch land with not a house for miles, she was considered able-bodied and was expected to pitch in. When she told us about it, I was impressed with her new community’s spirit of camaraderie and inclusion. In that dry, vast part of the country, neighbors knew they needed one another and pitched in to help, without a “what’s in it for me?” attitude.
Fast forward almost 20 years to our weary world of COVID. We could use that spirit now. For us to survive and prosper our way out of the pandemic, we need each other. I’ve had my vaccinations, but I still wear a mask in public to protect young children who cannot get the shots. No, they’re not my children, but they are somebody’s children. I don’t want to pass on the virus to my senior citizen friends. I don’t want to put any further burden on our health care workers who have worked night and day to save lives. I want to help local businesses, so I wear my mask and buy locally to help the economy. I’m just as tired of COVID precautions as anyone, but I intend to survive this virus and live a lot more years.
When my dad served in India in WWII, he and my mother were separated for almost three years. I have his letters to her, and he ached to be with her, desperately homesick and lonely. But they did their parts: his as a reconnaissance photographer in a B-25 in India, hers in Toledo working at a munitions factory. They made it through those years without benefit of e-mail, Instagram, Zoom or phone cards. Her life included rationing and travel restrictions; his included risky flights at 29,000 feet and living in a hot, unfamiliar country, thousands of miles from home. And if my parents were still here with us, they’d have no sympathy for anyone who refuses their vaccination or complains because their “freedom” is impacted by safety precautions against a deadly virus. Get over yourself, they would say. Put on your big kid panties and deal with it. We’ve known real hardships, and we got through it.
Folks, we can get through this pandemic, but only if we use the tools we have to fight a virus that is not weary and shows no signs of going away any time soon. We’re not fighting a wildfire in New Mexico, but we’re fighting nonetheless. And we need our neighbors, and they need us.

Inflation Targeting Gets a Black Eye, But It Had It Coming
Inflation targeting has been taking a beating across the Atlantic. In the United Kingdom, where there is an explicit inflation target, it appears the Bank of England is getting ready to tighten monetary policy despite ongoing economic weakness. The reason for the expected tightening is rising inflation, even though the recent increases may be a one-off event. Nonetheless, because of its inflation target the Bank of England seems set to reign in aggregate demand regardless of the consequences for the economy.
This makes little sense. Nick Rowe notes that this experience raises tough questions for those who believe that monetary policy that stabilizes inflation will also tend to stabilize economic activity. Scott Sumner goes says this experience shows the failure of inflation targeting. I say it definitely gives inflation targeting a black eye, but it had it coming. Inflation targeting is an imperfect approach to monetary policy that only works when certain conditions hold. It was inevitable that at some point those conditions would not hold. That seems to be the case in United Kingdom.
So why is inflation targeting an imperfect approach to monetary policy? First, it treats all changes to the inflation rate the same. Inflation targeting fails to distinguish between inflation rate movements arising from aggregate demand (AD) shocks and those coming from aggregate supply (AS) shocks. This can be destabilizing because monetary policy should ignore AS shocks but respond to AD shocks. Too see this, assume Y2K actually turned out to be hugely disruptive for a prolonged period. This negative AS shock would reduce output and increase prices. An inflation-targeting central bank would have to respond to this negative AS shock by tightening monetary policy, further constricting the economy. Conversely, say there is a new technology that makes computers super fast so that productivity soars. This would tend to lower the inflation rate and increase the neutral interest rate. Here, an inflation-targeting central bank would ease monetary conditions to maintain its inflation target. This, however, would require lowering the policy interest rate even though the neutral rate was increasing. Monetary policy would be too loose and a boom could ensue.
Now if all shocks were AD shocks then all inflation movements would be AD-driven and inflation targeting would make more sense. For example, if inflation rose above target because AD was growing too fast then the central bank could respond appropriately with inflation targeting. In the real world, however, there are both AD and AS shocks. Inflation targeting’s failure to distinguish between the two sources of inflation makes it bound to have problems.
A second problem with inflation is that even if it were responding to an AD shock, it has “no memory.” That is, if a central bank targets inflation and the economy actually undergoes several periods of deflation there is no making up the inflation shortfall once inflation returns to its target. It is as if the decline in the price level was “forgotten” by the monetary authorities. Such a decline causes problems because households and firms prior to the deflation entered into nominal contracts with expected inflation that was based on the inflation target holding. The absence of any catch-up inflation means there will be an permanent transfer of wealth that was unexpected.
The obvious answer to my second critique of inflation targeting is to adopt a price level target that does take into account past misses. While this would be an improvement over inflation targeting it too fails to distinguish between AD and AS shocks. So while a price level target might improve our current plight it is bound to get a black eye in the future too. What is needed, then, is a monetary policy rule that (1) ignores AS shocks but responds to AD shocks and (2) does so with “memory.” Is there anything out there that fits this billing? The answer is nominal GDP level targeting. This approach aims to stabilize total current dollar spending (i.e. nominal spending) around some targeted growth path. If nominal spending falls below trend growth there is catch up growth in the subsequent periods and vice versa. This is not a new idea and was even discussed by the FOMC in its September, 2010 meeting. See here, here, here, and here for some of my past writings on this idea. If Congress wants to really narrow the mandate of the Fed in a constructive way it should consider nominal GDP level targeting.

• The Blame Game
GIRL to GOD: I don't want to marry. I am educated, independent and self sufficient. I don't need a husband. But my parents are asking me to marry. What to do ?
GOD replied: YOU are my finest creation and undoubtedly you will achieve many great things. But something's inevitably will not go the way you want. Some thing may go worst, some things will fail. That time whom will you BLAME?
Will you blame yourself ?
GIRL: NO...
GOD: Very good... That's why you need a HUSBAND.
BOY to GOD: But then what will I do? Whom will I BLAME?
GOD: Your scope is much wider son. YOU can blame the govt, the education system, the legal system, the environment, the slow and fast growth of the economy, the politicians, the bureaucrats, the infrastructure, religious beliefs and even ME...
• The Fortunate Husband
After seeing numerous dresses, she shortlisted around 100 and further brought it down to 25. Out of these, she asked her husband to choose 5 dresses among them. Then she finally picked up one dress. It took 5 hours to finalise one dress.
The husband settled the bill and commented, "Adam was very lucky because he and Eve used to wear only leaves. He need not have wasted too much of time."
Ultimate comment of wife, "Who knows how many trees Adam had to climb and finally choose the leaves as per the wish of Eve. You are lucky... you have to just sit in AC shop..." Moral: Never argue with a woman while shopping.
• Vampire Dream
Psychologist: What is your dream about?
Blonde: I am being chased by a vampire...
Psychologist: So, where are you in this dream?
Blonde: I am running in a hallway.
Psychologist: Then what happens?
Blonde: Well, that's the weird thing. In every single dream, the same thing happens. I always come to a door, but I can't open it. I keep pushing the door and pushing the door, but it won't budge!
Psychologist: Does the door have any letters on it?
Blonde: Yes.
Psychologist: And what do these letter spell?
Blonde: P-U-L-L.
• Influential Positions
The palace meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of rain. So the king and the queen went fishing.
On the way he met a man with a fishing pole riding on a donkey, and he asked the man if the fish were biting.
The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time. I expect a huge rain storm."
The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an educated and experienced professional.
So the king continued on his way. However, in a short time a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked.
Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the meteorologist. Then he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious position of royal forecaster.
The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that... it will rain."
So the king hired the donkey.
And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions.

Occasionally you will encounter other fees when it comes to starting up the account. These fees can include: processing fees (from the dealer), transfer fees (from the dealer), and more. Most of the extra fees are not necessary and if you shop around you should be able to find options that do not have massive fees. Fees like the processing and transfer fees can usually be waved if no other alternative can be found.
Precious metals investing is not complicated. It allows you to invest as little or as much you want. You can set aside just a few hundred every month to invest in gold and/or silver. You can set aside the same, more or less to invest in silver. You can treat these investments as small and affordable monthly expenses, just as you would approach your mortgage or any loan repayment.
When investing in a Gold IRA Rollover, it's important to understand how you want to invest your funds and how your investment strategy affects your planning needs. We at Gold IRA Guide often receive emails from investors and retirees asking us: what percent of my portfolio should be allocated to precious metals? The reality is, there is no easy answer to this question. We have even interviewed several financial advisors and the opinions when it comes to gold allocation differ. Famous investors tend to stick to the 5-10% rule (e.g. Kevin O'Leary, Tony Robbins, Ray Dalio), but some more aggressive investors have gone above that. The questions you need to be asking yourself that will help you determine your bullion allocation strategy are: what is your outlook on the economy as a whole? How has your portfolio been performing so far? What is your main objective when it comes investing in physical bullion (e.g. protection, diversification, profit)? Here are some of the most popular strategies we've found by looking at several portfolios and speaking with many industry professionals:
To address that concern, a few alternative IRA advisers point to a wrinkle in the tax code that they say could let you store your precious metals nearby — such as in a local bank safe deposit box or at home. Essentially, the company helps you set up what’s called a limited liability company (LLC) and place that company into a self-directed IRA. The LLC then buys the gold and chooses where to store it.
The primary objective of virtually all Gold IRA investors is long-term preservation of wealth – and a precious metals IRA is a safe, stable, and powerful vehicle for maintaining long-term asset growth. To further maximize the safety and security of your investment, all physical precious metals are kept in an IRS-approved depository until the owner reaches retirement – at which point they can be shipped directly to you, or easily converted to cash. Also, keep in mind that transferring or rolling over your existing retirement account to a Gold IRA is a tax-free transaction.
The stock markets and real estate, anyone who has invested in currency based assets or cash based savings are the most vulnerable. Imagine what would happen if a hundred thousand in savings turn out to be less than thirty thousand in value. You wouldn’t even get to pay off your mortgage well in time if that is why you are saving for a particular war chest to be used before retirement.
Lear Capital, for example, recently offered an IRA Bonus Program that picked up $500 of fees for customers who bought at least $50,000 in silver or gold. But the company’s Transaction Agreement said the spread on coins and bullion sold to IRA customers “generally” ranged between 17 and 33%. So if the spread were 17%, a customer who opened a $50,000 IRA would pay $8,500 for the spread — and receive only $41,500 in wholesale-value gold — which left plenty of margin for Lear to recoup that $500 bonus.
For example, from history the price of gold and other precious metals keep on rising. Each time the dollar will experience inflation, the value of gold will rise. This will imply that the amount you will receive after some years of maintaining a gold backed IRA account will be high when compared to paper currency. Take necessary steps and convert all if not part of your IRA savings.
These ads and others like them often include an appeal to put your retirement savings into a precious metals Individual Retirement Account (IRA) either to make your money safer or help it grow faster. There’s generally no minimum investment and the advertiser shows you how to open the account and roll your existing IRA or 401(k) into it. The company then helps you convert that cash into precious metals by selling you gold or silver coins or bullion bars.

A common misconception regarding redemption of ETFs is that your GLD shares represent a claim on the underlying asset, gold. GLD shares are managed so that they trade at about 1/10th of an ounce of gold.
What do you get by investing in a gold investment retirement account (IRA)? You are literally turning part of your retirement nest egg into gold. That said, is putting a gold IRA in your portfolio the right move for you? Not all IRA accounts allow gold investments, but this article should help you understand what to look for in your IRA to see if it allows you to build a golden retirement egg.
To convert your IRA to gold you must turn to a reliable source that helps you with the whole process, one that keeps you in the loop every step of the way, and also through each process. By working with a company that is experienced in this kind of investing, you will have access to more information that will help you to decide when and how to invest in gold.
These benefits should give you cause to examine your retirement investments and find a way to include gold in your IRA. It is important to have money saved in various ways while making use of the programs that are offered to you. The IRA continues to be one of the most advantageous options available to you when it comes to saving for retirement. Add gold into the mix and you have a winning combination.
On the other hand, though this is not a concrete guarantee as no one can predict the true future, it is very likely that silver could once again shatter the all-time record high of $49.45 per troy ounce that it set on January 18, 1980; potentially even surpassing the $100 mark by multiple factors in the months and years ahead. This means that with silver you stand the chance of quadrupling or quintupling your investment.
It’s important to know if your metals will be stored with the metals of other investors. While many IRAs do offer you the ability to keep your gold in a separate storage, beware of any IRA that offers investors the option to store it in their own home. This is not an IRS-approved method of IRA investment, and will result in potential tax penalties. Avoid companies that offer “checkbook IRAs,” “collectibles” or the possibility of “home storage” in a safe or bank deposit box.
Not every company advertised today is a credible choice. In fact, there are very strict regulations that IRAs must follow with regard to how they store and transfer precious metals. Most retirement experts have recommended that 5-15% of your total portfolio be in precious metals, with some even suggesting up to 20%. Whether you choose to put that allocation into gold alone — or mix it up with silver, platinum or palladium – investment firms must follow the rules to protect your wealth. Following these guidelines will help you make wise purchases.
If you will like your investment to keep increasing in value during inflation period as well as during deflation, you need to convert your IRA account into gold backed IRA. Just remember, in the periods when America was facing financial constraints, the value of the dollar went down but gold prices kept on rising. Remember with gold, you can go and sell it anywhere. It is a commodity which is accepted all over the world. In all gold IRA accounts you will have physical gold, not paper gold. This means you will have something tangible to convert to any currency in case of an emergency.
There are dozens of gold IRAs available today, with many of them focusing specifically on retirees. Moreover, not all IRA needs are the same. So we searched the top 20 companies and narrowed the list based on our expert criteria. Then researched further to determine the best fit companies for a variety of needs. These result was a shortlist of companies that have handled precious metals IRAs for years, with thousands of satisfied customers to show for their security and customer service.
Collectible coins: Collectible coins are a specific and popular form of bullion because they are beautiful, sometimes rare and may even rise in value over time more than raw bars of gold, silver or other precious metals. Investing in collectible coins can result in higher entry costs and questionable long-term value, so be wary of these risks and do your research before investing.
First, you want to be certain your retirement savings are being handled by a certified and trustworthy company, not a scammer or a profit-hungry dealer that wants to push numismatic coins because they have higher profit margins for them, but lower gold purity content. Check out IRA-Approved Precious Metals page to see what gold & silver coins are considered pure enough to be IRA eligible.

Wet Reckless vs DUI
Wet Reckless vs DUI
Feb 12
Wet Reckless vs DUI
If you're facing a DUI charge, you have more options than just pleading guilty or not guilty. Learn more about the differences between wet reckless and DUI to find out how a wet reckless may benefit your case and your future.
If you or someone you love is the defendant in a DUI case, figuring out the best course of action can be intimidating. The good news is, you may have more options than you think. In this article, we will clarify some common terms involved in DUI cases and help you decide how best to handle your legal situation.
DUI Meaning
Driving under the influence, or DUI, is what it’s called when a person is driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The consequences of a DUI depend in part on the state in which you’ve been charged.
Possible outcomes include a criminal record and loss of the defendant's driving privileges. A restricted license may be issued by the DMV, and the driver may be required to pay for and install an ignition interlock device on any and all vehicles they have access to. Since DUI is a criminal charge, a conviction may influence the defendant's future employment. Drivers convicted of a DUI may have to take DUI classes in order to regain driving privileges.
If you have been accused of driving under the influence, it is in your best interests to find a skilled DUI lawyer who may be able to get your DUI charge reduced to a lesser crime with less consequences. Depending on the circumstances of your case, your DUI lawyer may even be able to get the charge dropped.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving is purposely or knowingly operating a motor vehicle in a way that endangers others. Reckless driving includes speeding over 25 miles per hour above the speed limit, weaving in and out of traffic, or passing in the opposite lane. However, in the context of a DUI, any driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is considered reckless driving. It doesn’t matter if any other driving laws were broken; according to the law, one has engaged in reckless driving solely by using drugs or alcohol and getting behind the wheel.
Advantages of a Wet Reckless vs DUI
Wet reckless is the name given to a DUI charge that has been reduced to a type of reckless driving charge. A person cannot be arrested for or charged with a wet reckless to begin with - a wet reckless always starts off as a DUI. When the case is presented in court, the DUI lawyer will make a plea bargain in order to get a wet reckless conviction instead. This is because there are several advantages to having a wet reckless as opposed to a DUI.
1. Less Fines
A wet reckless conviction has less fines than a DUI conviction. For example, in California, the fine for a wet reckless is less than half the fine for a DUI.
2. No Driver’s License Suspension Requirement
Unlike in a DUI conviction, the court is not required to suspend your driver's license in a wet reckless conviction. However, even if the court has decided not to suspend your driver’s license, it's important to be aware that in some states, failure to register for a hearing with the DMV within 10 days of the original DUI arrest will result in an automatic license suspension.
After a DUI conviction, ignition interlock devices are required in some states, but they are not required after a wet reckless conviction. Even if the DMV has suspended your driver's license, in the case of a wet reckless charge, it would still be possible to drive with such ignition interlock devices.
3. Shorter Probation Time
While a DUI conviction can mean serving probation for 3 to 5 years, a wet reckless charge involves probation for only 1 or 2 years.
4. Shorter DUI classes
DUI classes may be required in order for the individual to drive again after a conviction. However, the individual can take these classes for less time than they would have to for a DUI charge - typically 6 weeks or less.
5. Less or No Jail Time
Second- and third-time DUI convictions come with mandatory jail time in most states. However, wet reckless charges often have no mandatory jail time. For examples, in California, if the judge rules that jail time is necessary in a wet reckless conviction, the longest sentence the defendant can receive is 90 days. A DUI conviction, on the other hand, can mean jail time for up to a year or longer.
6. No DUI Charge on Your Record
A wet reckless conviction will be just that - a wet reckless - meaning no DUI charge on your record. This has far-reaching consequences for future employment and professional licensure since most employers require disclosure of a conviction and some professional licenses can be revoked upon receiving a DUI conviction.
Eligibility For a Wet Reckless Charge
Not all defendants are eligible to plea to a wet reckless charge vs DUI. Ideally, to be eligible for a wet reckless conviction, you must:
• Have no prior criminal record, including another DUI conviction
• Not have had a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of arrest
• Show remorse and respect at trial
Find an Experienced DUI Lawyer
If you or someone you love have been charged with DUI, it is essential to consider your options. Especially for a younger driver, a wet reckless conviction can have fewer far-reaching consequences than that of a DUI conviction over the span of your lifetime. Contact a Board Certified DUI lawyer near you today and schedule a consultation to see how they may be able to help with your case.

Space Policy Edition: Happy Fiscal New Year!
Space Policy Edition: Why Apollo Ended (with John Logsdon)
As NASA struggles to return humans to the Moon by 2024, it's worth asking: why did it stop in the first place? Space historian John Logsdon joins the show to discuss the politics behind the decision to abandon the Moon in 1972. Casey and Mat also discuss the proposal to offer a $2 billion prize for sending humans back to the Moon and establishing a base there, and why that's not good public policy.
Space Policy Edition: The Home Front During Apollo (with Emily Margolis)
Did the public support Project Apollo? Dr. Emily Margolis joins the show to explore the domestic politics and cultural impact of the space age throughout the 1960s. Despite the success of the lunar landings, there was more opposition to Apollo than we generally remember.
Space Policy Edition: Why Apollo Happened (with Roger Launius)
Space historian Dr. Roger Launius joins the show to explain why Apollo happened the way it did, how a moonshot briefly became a solution to a national security problem, and why it is unlikely to happen again.
Space Policy Edition: T-minus Five Years and Counting
Can NASA return astronauts to the Moon by 2024? Vice President Mike Pence shocked the space community by announcing this ambitious new goal just weeks after the Trump Administration proposed a half-billion dollar cut to the space agency.
Space Policy Edition: Should the U.S. be in a space race with China?
China's space program notched an impressive "first" last month when its Chang'e 4 spacecraft landed on the far side of the Moon. The U.S. space program, in contrast, was in the midst of an extended shutdown. Some observers expect China's growing space capability and lunar ambitions to trigger a new space race. Not Dr. Roger Handberg, Professor of Political Science at the University of Central Florida. He discusses how the current geopolitical situation differs from the Cold War standoff between two superpowers, and how we shouldn't expect dollars to flow back to the U.S. space program as a consequence of China's space successes. Cooperation, or even friendly competition, is a much more likely outcome than a new space race.
Space Policy Edition: Shutdown
In a government shutdown seemingly without end, we bring you two stories from individuals directly impacted by the crisis. NASA scientist and union representative Lee Stone discusses the missed paychecks, loss of science, and lasting negative consequences to the public sector scientific workforce.
At the Space Settlement Summit With Former NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden
He led NASA for eight years, but not till he had flown on four Space Shuttle missions and enjoyed a long military career. Charlie Bolden talks with Mat about his time at the space agency and where we’re headed on the final frontier.

The Drinking Brothers is a traveling duo that make its way to bars and art museums worldwide. They are dressed as male fin-de-siècle artists. Their very first trip was to Berlin. The two worn geniuses travel to the most romantic cities in the world to let the inspiration flow. No corner is too insignificant, scruffy or banal not to be honored with a visit from our creative friends, who illuminate it with their artistic spirit. They are very talented but unfortunately they did not have good opportunities in life, so they live a little in the gutter. Despite their sad guises they are constantly in motion, their eyes move through urban spaces, alleys and arcades, nothing escapes them, profane or exalted. But, at this historic moment the polaroid camera is turned towards the brothers, portrayed by strangers, or with the self timer.

At Last, A Seed in the Hollow Womb
A short story by Raylene Brown set in the Snowy Mountains. It was first published in a collection of fiction (long and short), Unbound Press & Spilling Ink Review’s Prize -Winning Fiction 2011.
Around lunch time they reached a large open cave, high above the river. The sun was hot in the clear mountain air. Clem threw his hat on the ground and set about making a fire, while Lester hobbled the horses. Behind the buzz of the flies was a crisp, clear silence.
They sat and ate in the shade at the mouth of the cave, its cool breath on their backs. Into the silence a whip-bird called twice. Clem looked up and sighed.
“A man ought not’ve sat down,” he said, chucking his tea leaves to one side. “Won’t wanta get up again.”
“No rush,” said Lester. “Seeing as we don’t know where we are, or where the bloody cattle are either. Have a sleep if you want.”
Clem yawned. “Good idea, mate,” he said. “I’ll have a feed and a sleep like a blackfella. They’ve got the idea.”
He moved back into the cave a bit — away from the fire — and lay down flat on his back. In sixty seconds he was snoring.
Lester stood up and stepped out of the cave, shading his eyes with his hand. Talking softly to the horses, he surveyed the valley, trying to realise his bearings. There was too much scrub to gain a view of anything much, so he put his hat back on and walked a little way, retracing the path they’d come along. From here he could see the young, shallow river, burbling as it made its way over and around smooth rocks. Les reckoned that, if all else failed, they could follow it — although that would be hard on the horses, and wouldn’t help them find the cattle. He and Clem had tracked the cattle up here, and there was no guarantee the animals would go back to the river. It was possible they had found water elsewhere.
Considering this, Lester returned to the cave and called to the horses to come further into the shade, then left them standing there at the entrance. He went back past the sleeping Clem and into the dim recesses, where he stood awhile, letting his eyes grow accustomed to the diminished light. It struck him just how much cooler it was in here. The cave narrowed to a passage, still wide enough for three men to walk upright. He reckoned there’d be no harm following it as long as he could see well enough.
The passage turned a corner, and there was slightly more light. Lester could see perfectly well and in half a dozen more steps he found out why. He had found his way into a huge cavern with a hole in the roof. Only a small hole, but enough to let in the most beautiful light. The angle of the sun prevented the direct light from hitting the inside of the cave, so it was filtered, deflected and reflected light that filled the cavern. At his feet clear water ran silently over the smooth, pale rock floor, and on an island in the centre, growing up toward the light, were large ferns with arching fronds. Lester took one more step and his eyes confirmed what his nose already knew — a cowpat. Looking across the vast dimness, he could just discern the animals standing against the far wall. If it was a wall.
Les silently blessed his cattleman’s instincts. The cattle had found water elsewhere as he had suspected. Anyway, for now they weren’t going anywhere. He would have a look around the cavern before moving them out. It was a strange new world. To his left, there was a grotto, with stalactites like curtains and stalagmites like figurines. Les stared at it. The stage was set for a play. As he watched the curtain began to rise, and it seemed the figures began to move in the uneven light. Blinking, he looked again incredulously, but all was still. Though now there appeared to be a spotlight centre stage. After a short while he shook his head, and forced himself to look elsewhere.
“A man could let his imagination run away with him in here,” he muttered, slightly bewildered, blinking again in the shifting light.
The uncertain light was coming from the natural skylight above him. Les was not directly under it, so he moved towards the centre of the hollow, trying to glimpse the sky. He searched for a path across the water to the fern-island directly beneath the hole, wetting his boots in the process. On reaching the island, the man scrambled — as is man’s wont — to the highest point, holding on to thick fronds. Then he looked up.
He could glimpse blue sky, but straddling the hole was an enormous old manna gum, its roots criss-crossing open space and hanging on tightly to the remaining rocks and earth. As he stood there, gazing up, something came loose and fell towards him. Instinctively, he ducked his head down, and doubled up his body. There was a very soft thud in front of him, and he opened his eyes to find it was a cluster of small gumnuts, now lying in the moss at his feet.
He looked around to see if there were any other gumnuts. Perhaps this was a common occurrence and not as strange and unique as it seemed. None were evident. Lester’s instinct was to take it as a sign, though he didn’t understand why. Moreover, such feelings meant nothing when the facts were clear: he was overtired, and his imagination was getting out of hand. He’d found the cattle — it was time to go.
Something about that manna gum stuck in Les’s mind though, as he went back through the tunnel to wake Clem. He thought he would like to climb up to that tree and have a good look at it from on top of the cave. It couldn’t be too far.
Emerging into the clear sunlight was like waking from a dream. As he scrambled around the other side of the cave’s entrance, it struck him — surely the soil was too shallow to support that big tree. Les stopped, looked down at his hand and saw that he was carrying the cluster of gumnuts. He stared at it, trying to remember picking it up. In the pause that followed, Lester scratched his head, and shook himself, then turned and threw the gumnuts as far as he could into the valley. Watching them fall, he saw how the river valley flattened out in this direction. He also saw that there was pasture — not the ubiquitous scrub — and plenty of room down there, on the river flats for the cattle.
Lester stood looking at the hidden valley a moment longer. Then he went to wake Clem. They had to get the cattle out of the cave, down the valley and onto those flats, he reckoned.
“This is a queer sort of place,” said Clem, when he stepped into the cavern behind Lester. He stood a moment more, looking across at the cattle. They appeared unmoved from Les’s earlier visit.
“My bloody oath,” said Lester loudly, trying to break the trance. “Very odd.” His voice sounded unnaturally loud.
Clem stood shaking his head, staring at the little limestone grotto, before making his way to the fern and moss covered island. There, he looked up and a bunch of gumnuts fell down at his feet. Les, watching on, shivered involuntarily, saw Clem reach down and pick them up. Les instinctively knew Clem hadn’t noticed what he’d done.
“Well, I’ll be buggered.” Clem was still looking up, talking softly to himself.
“Yeah, me too, ” said Les. He looked across at the cattle. He could see the whites of their eyes. “Let’s get these cattle, mate, and push on out of here.”
Clem nodded. “Yeah, mate. Then I’d like to take a closer look at that tree.”
“I know,” said Les.
They drove the cattle out of the cave. Each beast was docile, hardly made a sound.
Clem started to speak at one point. “What d’you reckon…” He couldn’t find the words to finish the question. The two men looked at each other, shook their heads. The air was full of unspoken questions.
When they got to the horses, Clem noticed he was holding something in his hand.
“I just want to look at this tree, mate. It can’t be far,” he said.
But Lester and the cattle were unstoppable. They were heading for the hidden valley as though a line was reeling them in.
Clem, noting their direction, holding on to the gumnuts, headed his horse in the opposite direction, and so — while Lester found the river flats and prime grazing land — it was Clement who found the hidden spring and the alluvial gold.

problem. I'd expect either "P???wor?:?" or "?ass???d? ", where ?
represents a garbled character.) One person pointed out that the stty
settings are cs7 -parenb when it's getting garbled, which is perhaps
However, there's now a new problem. Upon changing :ap: to :np: in
gettytab, everything appeared to work...except that now it occasionally
drops characters on output. Not often; probably <1% of output
characters are dropped. The only thing I've been able to see that they
have in common is that it's always exactly one character dropped, and
it's early in the output of something. For example, my prompt begins
[Callisto] and it often shows up as [Calisto]. This happens only on
the serial lines, never on the console or on a network login from
I suspect it has something to do with setting tty modes; my postulated
mechanism is as follows: a program queues a blip of output; the zs
driver starts trickling it out the serial line. A few character times
later, the shell regains control. Preparatory to reading anything, it
sets the tty state to CBREAK, ~ECHO, all special characters disabled
except t_stopc and t_startc. I conjecture that a bug somewhere in the
tty or (more likely) zs code causes this setting operation to lose an
output character.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

The Russian president's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday that the US must either stop accusing Russia of meddling in its elections or prove it. Peskov said it was "indecent" of the United States to "groundlessly" accuse Russia of intervention in its elections.
“You need to either stop talking about it, or finally show some kind of proof. Otherwise it just looks very indecent”, Peskov told Reporters in Tokyo where Putin is meeting with Japan PM Abe, responding to the latest accusations that Russia was responsible for hacker attacks.
Peskov also warned that Obama's threat to "retaliate" to the alleged Russian hack is "against both American and international law", hinting at open-ended escalation should Obama take the podium today at 2:15pm to officially launch cyberwar against Russia.
Previously, on Thursday, Peskov told the AP the report was "laughable nonsense", while Russian foreign ministry spox Maria Zakharova accused "Western media" of being a "shill" and a "mouthpiece of various power groups", and added that "it's not the general public who's being manipulated," Zakharova said. "the general public nowadays can distinguish the truth. It's the mass media that is manipulating themselves."
Meanwhile, on Friday Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister told state television network, Russia 24, he was "dumbstruck" by the NBC report which alleges that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in an election hack.
The report cited U.S. intelligence officials that now believe with a "high level of confidence" that Putin became personally involved in a secret campaign to influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. "I think this is just silly, and the futility of the attempt to convince somebody of this is absolutely obvious," Lavrov added, according to the news outlet.
As a reminder, last night Obama vowed retaliatory action against Russia for its meddling in the US presidential election last month. "I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing," Obama told National Public Radio.
US intelligence agencies in October pinned blame on Russia for election-related hacking. At the time, the White House vowed a "proportional response" to the cyberactivity, though declined to preview what that response might entail. Meanwhile, both President-elect Donald Trump, the FBI, and the ODNI have dismissed the CIA's intelligence community's assessment, for the the same reason Putin finally lashed out at Obama: there is no proof.
That, however, has never stopped the US from escalating a geopolitical conflict to the point of war, or beyond, so pay close attention to what Obama says this afternoon.
According to an NBC report, a team of analysts at Eurasia Group said in a note on Friday that they believe the outgoing administration is likely to take action which could result in a significant barrier for Trump's team once he takes office in January.
"It is unlikely that U.S. intelligence reports will change Trump's intention to initiate a rapprochement with Moscow, but the congressional response following its own investigations could obstruct the new administration's effort," Eurasia Group analysts added.
At the same time, Wikileaks offered its "validation" services, tweeting that "Obama should submit any Putin documents to WikiLeaks to be authenticated to our standards if he wants them to be seen as credible."
We doubt Obama would take the whistleblower organization on its offer, even if he did have any Putin documents to authenticate.

Atrial Flutter
Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation in many ways but is less common. The two arrhythmias often occur together in the same patient and may be indistinguishable by ECG. In atrial flutter, unlike atrial fibrillation, the atrial rate tends to be regular at 250-350 beats per minute. Like atrial fibrillation, there is virtually always some degree of AV block, usually in a 2:1 pattern, such that the ventricular rate is usually around 150 beats per minute; in fact, atrial flutter can be confused with sinus tachycardia at 150 beats per minute. Under certain circumstances the AV node transmission can be unstable or erratic, which may result in a very irregular heartbeat simulating that of atrial fibrillation.
The incidence of atrial flutter is unclear. It occurs at any age including infancy and appears to be more common in males than in females. Atrial flutter often occurs in the first week after open-heart surgery in both children and adults and frequently follows surgery to repair congenital heart defects over both short and long term. In clinical practice it is usually associated with underlying heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mitral or tricuspid valve disease, and hyperthyroidism.
Atrial flutter is subdivided into two types. Typical atrial flutter has a very characteristic ECG pattern and is caused by localized reentry with impulse pathways occupying large portions of the right atrial wall. Since the circuit is fixed and accessible, typical atrial flutter can often be cured by destroying a portion of the circuit during a special procedure known as ablation. Atypical atrial flutter, on the other hand, exhibits a more variable ECG pattern, and more than one circuit may be responsible. Atypical atrial flutter behaves much more like atrial fibrillation than does typical atrial flutter.
Therapy of atrial flutter is similar to that for atrial fibrillation. DC cardioversion to convert atrial flutter to sinus rhythm has a high likelihood of success. Intraatrial pacing has also been used to terminate atrial flutter with good results. In some patients, medications can effectively terminate atrial flutter and prevent its recurrence; in those patients in whom the circuit cannot be ablated, medications may be necessary for prevention of recurrences. If sinus rhythm cannot be maintained by either ablation or medication, ventricular rate control may be necessary using either medications or AV nodal ablation and ventricular pacing. Since atrial flutter and fibrillation frequently coexist, the risk of embolic stroke is may be increased. Anticoagulation to decrease stroke risk should therefore be considered as part of all therapies for atrial flutter.

Sun ONE Calendar Server 6.0 Programmer's Manual
Chapter 3
Proxy Authentication SDK Overview
This chapter describes the Calendar Server Proxy Authentication SDK (authSDK). It addresses the following topics:
Who Will Use the authSDK?
Programmers, whose installation has a portal service, can use authSDK to integrate the portal with Sun ONE Calendar Server. When a portal system authenticates a user, authSDK functions notify Sun ONE Calendar Server, which then allows the user access to various services without reauthentication.
What Is the authSDK?
The authSDK consists of a DLL/shared-object that exports five functions.
The install package includes the following, located in cal_svr_base/bin/authsdk:
The authSDK is pretty simple. It consists of initialization, lookup, and cleanup. Additionally, one other function, CEXP_SetHttpPort, allows the authSDK to use a non-standard port, and another, CEXP_GetVersion, gets the authSDK version number should you need to contact customer or technical support. For a complete description of the API functions, see Chapter 4, "Proxy Authentication SDK Reference."
Use the lookup function, CEXP_GenerateLoginURL, when you want to generate a new session for a user. Lookup performs no authentication. It simply uses the user name and IP address to generate an entry in the session table for them and returns a URL associated with that session. If you pass the hostname of a calendar server, the function will contact that server to generate the session. If not, it will query the LDAP server to determine the host. In order for it to generate a session without actually authenticating the user, you must provide the proxy administrator’s ID and password.
If you are in a threaded environment and you wish to cleanup resources such as memory, open LDAP connections, etc., use CEXP_Shutdown.
Functions Overview
There are five functions in the SDK, as listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Proxy Authentication SDK Functions
Generates a URL with the valid session ID.
Generates the version ID string.
Initializes the SDK.
Specify the port over which you will contact the calendar server.
Performs all shutdown procedures, including freeing memory and shutting down connections.

Dear Sheryl Sandberg: 'Leaning In' Doesn't Fix What's Actually Broken for Working Women
, Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
There's a lot of chatter about Sheryl Sandberg's new book and effort, Lean In, going around the Interwebs this weekend. The premise of Sandberg's work seems to be that women currently don't have all that they need to be ultimately successful in their professional lives: we don't speak up enough, we have biological clocks and workplaces that don't deal well with those, and a variety of other gender barriers. Sandberg wants to build women up to places where they can overcome those barriers, and build a social movement along the way. The book won't come out til March 10th, and review copies have been hard to come by. (I haven't tried, for the record, that's just the word in the backchannels where I hang out.) Thus, it's difficult to make deep commentary, so my thoughts here are based primarily on the article in the New York Times, a few other other blog posts online, and private conversations with colleagues over email.
There are so many layers to this work to examine, but I'm going to use my time here to take on just two of them: placing the onus on women to elevate their professional status, and our collective ongoing public obsession with the status of women's uteri.
1. While those who have read Sandberg's book report that she doesn't think her solutions are the only ones that need to be in play, I still find it challenging that a woman with as much power and influence in business and technology would use her social capital on what feels like "fixing women." The argument is that if women are fixed, and thus achieve more positions of power, workplaces everywhere will become more friendly to women.
Hoooo-boy, where to start with this one?
First, placing the onus on women to fix themselves up is problematic to the core. I'm all for assertiveness training and teaching women how culturally they aren't as welcomed into conversations and power structures as men are. (Research shows that when women take up more than 30% of the conversation space, for example, they're viewed as "dominating" the discourse.) But without simultaneously taking on the structures that keep those norms in place, women are both helping to reproduce those structures over and over, and are punished for challenging them. This isn't something we can do down the road; taking about structural discrimination is urgent and necessary now.
This bit of the conversation reminds me of a few years ago when Clay Shirky wrote a daring, but slightly misguided, post on how women could be more successful in the world. It's basically the same advice that Sandberg seems to be giving: Buck up, little campers. It's a tough world, and you've got to be tough. Here's what I had to say about it back then:
• Men’s success and ways of achieving it are the gold standard.
• Women’s lack of success and lack of use of men’s ways is the deviant behavior. (as in, “deviant from the norm,” not deviant as in “naughty”)
• Therefore, women should act more like men to be successful.
Personally, I’m just not that interested in acting more like a dude for the chance that my work gets more widely recognized or that I get paid more to do it, and I suspect many other women aren’t, either. [...]
What’s far more interesting to me is shifting the cultural consciousness around what being successful means, and what it then takes to achieve it. Creating a more holistic standard to which men and women both can hold themselves, and then compete/collaborate, etc., offers us an opportunity to break down terribly unhealthy versions of masculinity and femininity that oppress us all.
Asking women to be more like men [...] falls on a spectrum of prescribing feminine behavior that is dangerous and unhealthy. We’re putting the onus on women to fit themselves into a culture that doesn't value them enough to begin with. It sounds a lot like misguided sexual assault prevention tactics (“how not to get yourself raped!”), and Shirky goes there himself when he points out the time colleges spend teaching women self-defense. Me? I cringed right there. Where are the colleges teaching men not to rape women?
[To his credit, Shirky went on in numerous interviews and follow-ups to clarify his points, and many of us still appreciate his valiant effort here. It was refreshing to see men talking about this because Shirky brought it up; that's not something that's happening in the Sandberg conversation that I've seen.]
2. Invariably, a conversation about the toils of working women ends up drilling down to childcare. This was the crux of Anne-Marie Slaughter's now near-infamous "women still can't have it all" argument, and many are pitting Slaughter vs Sandberg in the fight about women's working lives. [They're really working on very similar narrow parts of those lives, and shouldn't be pitted against one another, actually. Read my Forbes colleague Bryce Covert for more on this.] What frustrates me beyond belief is that time and again, my public status as a woman-- whether that's at work, while I'm getting healthcare, or my role in politics and social movements-- hinges on the current status of and my plans for my uterus. The entire world seems to be all up in there making deals, and while I understand that a large percentage of women who have uteri (remember: not all women do) would like to comfortably have kids, this cannot be the crux from which we approach all of the problems which women face.
There are so many challenges that working women face beyond how well we're able to raise our children vis a vis our careers, I don't even know where to begin. In the last year alone, more young women than I've ever had before came to me to discuss what they thought might be (and was) sexual harassment in the workplace, for example. Sarah Jaffe details the working life that most women face in the land of low-wage work in this excellent piece in Dissent, too. The overall toxic nature that professional and working life holds for women, and ultimately all genders, tells me that way more has to give than women learning to "lean in." We're in crisis, and we've got to radically overhaul our definitions of success, professionalism and healthy, passionate working lives.

The Power of Altruism
In Lynne McTaggert’s book, “The Power of Eight,” she describes her research and the outcomes of groups setting the specific intention to heal a person and discovering that the selfless act heals the healer. The present moment connection with the group and the subject of the group provides the members with better connection to the Divine Spirit and the potential healing which comes from the Joy of Altruism and pure Giving. What a concept!
Altruism is the principle and moral practice of concern for happiness of other human beings and/or animals, resulting in a quality of life both material and spiritual. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures and a core aspect of various religious traditions and secular worldviews, though the concept of “others” toward whom concern should be directed can vary among cultures and religions. In an extreme case, altruism may become a synonym of selflessness which is the opposite of selfishness. (The principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others (opposed to egoism).)
The word “altruism” was coined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte in French, as altruisme, for an antonym of egoism. He derived it from the Italian altrui, which in turn was derived from Latin alteri, meaning “other people” or “somebody else”.
Researchers like Joe Dispenza, author of “Becoming Supernatural,” and Lynne McTaggert find that the DNA can change when you are in the state of pure giving with a group healing intention. Besides DNA, heart/brain coherence is more likely to occur for the individuals and the group which increases the power of healing and consciousness expansion (into the realms of the Divine.) These researchers claim that we are “hard wired” for connecting through group altruism and selflessness. Tapping into virtual network of information (of the Divine) through group resonance (and coherence) for greater possible mystical experiences or more powerful healing. Feeling “lifted” by Joy and Love!
Reduced Isolation in group intention creates connection and coherence with our true nature of the Divine Spirit for consciousness and healing. Moving together and in coherence as one mind is the future for possible positive outcome for humanity. My Guidance is suggesting that we need to find better, positive connections with groups of supportive people and using positive healing intentions to better heal externally and internally. Our heart/soul energy in coherence can allow us to be available and open to the unconditional love, wisdom, acceptance and greater connection to the Divine. This sounds great to me! And, how do we get the “word” out about these non-religious groups of supportive healers? Please share if appropriate. Let’s start a grass roots movement to connect with supportive people in sending out intentionally healing altruism. Burn bright with Divine Spirit! Be the beacon of light and unconditional love. And, always share your gifts and experiences with fellow pilgrims.

I Like Donating Life
Ahhh Thursday and To Like or Not to Like!!!! Today's is easy as I have been thinking about it for several days. Why? Because my mind works in many strange ways. When I look at something or someone...sometimes it sets off a chain reaction that makes me think of something else...which then makes me think of another something which in the end.....really has nothing to do with what I was originally thinking about. Yeah...I know! Scary!
You ready to hear the train of thought that got me to today's Like? Here goes. The other day I was at Walmart looking at iPod's (RIP Mr. Job) and as I did I was thinking that I was too old to be looking at "toys". This got me to thinking of Z...who should have been the one standing there drooling over these shiny, musical play things. For some reason at this point I wondered if he had taken his sophomore school pictures yet and what his school ID would look like this year since his hair is blond and short instead of long and black. This got me to thinking about his drivers license and wondering if he changed his appearance drastically like that if he would have to get a new license with a picture of how he currently looked? This then made me wonder if he had signed the back of his license to be a donor. From there I was thinking about someone who had once told me if you want to be a donor....never sign your license but put it in a living will. If you sign your license then they might let you die and use you as a donor when they could have saved you. I then thought....what a bunch of bull. Which then made me think of Tim (my late husband) who had NOT signed his license but had discussed his decision to be a donor with me...and upon his death I gave the go ahead for him to be a donor. Had I not been there though.......well that is kind of what this blog is about. All of this thinking just standing there in Walmart. Think how deep I might have gone had I been in a library. But I digress.
So today....I like (love) donors. We all know that all we have to do is sign the back of our drivers license and upon our death...if our organs are viable.....we can be donors. What does it mean to be a donor? It can mean a second chance at life for someone or at the very least....a chance at a better life for someone. Whether it means a compatible heart or liver, or cornea's, bone or skin, these are all life changing donations for someone in need. And what does it mean for the organs to be viable? It means that major organs such as heart, liver, lungs, kidney's etc......have to be harvested while they are still living and healthy. Often the donor is put on or kept on life support until said organs have been removed. Other donations such as skin, bone and cornea's can be removed and used within a certain amount of time after death.
It is obvious what use the major organs can be to someone. They can literally save a life and add years that someone might not have had otherwise. Other donations though such as bone, cornea and skin might not be life saving but could definitely be life altering such as helping someone to see again, walk or move properly or start repairing damage from a burn or accident. In a certain way...the donor literally continues to live on through others. What an amazing gift.
In our situation, Tim had not signed his drivers license. I have no idea why, but he had said on more than one occasion that he wanted to be a donor. I knew those were his wishes. When I came home to find Tim, he had been gone for several hours. The major organs were no longer viable and so I assumed his being a donor was out of the question. When the coroner finally came though....they asked me if he was a donor. I said yes but I had no idea he had at that point....anything donatable. I was wrong. We donated skin, bone and his corneas. In a felt as if Tim had done so much for so many in life.....and now....even in death he would continue to help others. It was one of the few things that helped me to survive the nightmare of losing him.
On the day of Tim's funeral after everyone had left....I got a call. It was a young woman whom I only casually knew, but she knew of Tim's death. She had ties to the local organ bank and although she was not suppose to tell me....she let me know that Tim's cornea's had been transplanted that day into a man....just about Tim's age.....who would now be able to see thanks to Tim. I cried! My beautiful, wonderful husband was living on and continuing to help others. It was amazing and helped to make one of the worst days of my life...just a little better.
Blessedly, I nor my family has never needed any sort of organ donations.....although David and I both went through blood like a couple of vampires after he was born. I hope though...if the need ever does arrive, someone as caring and wonderful as my Tim has either singed their drivers license or made their wishes known loud and clear, so through may continue for others. If you have any questions....or would simply like to know more about organ donation head on over to Organ Donation America and learn what donation can mean for both you and others.
So there you have it. Today....I like organ donation and now you know a little more about the really scary inner workings of my mind. Hope you have a great day and Happy Thursday everyone!

Self-care doesn't cost a dime
I recently read an article in the May issue of Natural Awakenings magazine about self-care. A practice I've incorporated into my journey because it's now mandatory. I've learned since becoming a yoga instructor, I can't pour from an empty glass. I can't continue to give and share my energy with others if I'm not feeling rested, inspired and loved. I've also learned to not seek for self-care outside of my own home, meaning you don't always have to spend money to get the same results. Sometimes, it's the simplest gesture that pours the most love into your heart. For me, it's taking a walk alone or doing a soothing facial mask after a hot shower. The Natural Awakenings article touched on a list of other simple actions and activities full of good intentions for self-love. I added my 2-cents below each item.
Simple Self-Care Strategies
Schedule me-time on the calendar
*this is great if you have a hectic schedule, No Excuses!
Unplug from gadgets
*we're all connected via phone, laptop, tv, etc. let your mind rest and see how your body receives it
Spend lunch breaks in the park
*I used to love doing this when I worked in the city, nature is so healing and good for the soul
Rest before hitting the wall of exhaustion
*amen to that! There's a very fine line between working hard and over-kill
Take 10 minutes to stretch and breathe in the morning
*yoga or any gentle stretching releases tension from the body naturally
Meditate in the shower; choose a luxurious, natural body wash
*what a treat to pick your favorite scent that bring you mental joy
Designate a beautiful teacup or coffee mug to use on hectic work days
*my favorite idea, it's so simple and personal
Sprinkle lavender, rose geranium or ylang-ylang essential oil on your sheets
*I have done this before and it feels amazing to jump into a soothing cozy bed
Opt for a gentle work out instead of a high-intensity session when tired
*our bodies move fast pace all day long, gentle work is needed for mind, body & soul connection
Abandon perfection
*living in a world where being true to yourself and your needs is rare. Dare to be true to yourself!
Connect to a higher power, however, you define it, even if it is inner peace
*finding your version of inner peace by knowing that you're not alone and everything has purpose - Natural Awakenings May 2019
Hope these self-care tips are helpful and you can find a way to incorporate some during those tough days. Remember, we all have them and we're all just doing the best we can to journey through life.
Peace & Love,

Housefull – A Rape
When the movie starts with a suggestive “He’s such a loser!” ,you almost start to contemplate the utopian possibility of Sajid Khan accepting his directorial prowess in his own film. But alas ! The “loser” only alludes to the obvious winner among the sea of losers around , Akshay Kumar.
To describe Housefull as “nonsensical comedy” , will actually be giving credit where it is not due . Sajid Khan’s latest is another example of how “funny” Indian directors seem to believe that the average cine-goer has an IQ of -150 and is willing to laugh at any horrendous caricature they put together .The film begins with Sajid Khan acknowledging the likes of Hrishikesh Mukherkee who apparently taught him that cinema was all about “Entertainment”. I would instead , he told us who told him that “entertainment” was about a bunch of giggling fools and their successful portrayal of themselves being passed off as a movie.
Not that it matters, but Housefull has a ,well, story. Akshay Kumar is the “loser” a.k.a “panauti” . The film begins with the aforementioned song and a scene of a bunch of gamblers getting incredibly lucky at a casino in Macau. The owner of the casino , now perspiring profusely, calls on the “cooler” to save the day. In steps Aarush (Akshay) and brings with him a literal wave of bad luck. Scenes of gamblers howling , girls breaking into tears and for Sajid Khan’s even dumber audience , the roulette ball settling on a ‘0’ follow. If you haven’t guessed it yet, Aarush is an employee at the casino and his “bad luck” is his USP. To establish his misfortune further , Aarush is next seen in a scene proposing to and (obviously, Bad Luck remember?) getting dumped by Puja (Malaika Arora). A comical caricature of the Priydarshini kind follows with a closing shot of Maj.Krishna Rao (Arjun Rampal), Puja’s brother landing a right fist on Aarush’s cement-caked (you don’t need to imagine much to figure out how that happened) face which sends him flying into a billboard (previously introduced in a screen-wide shot with the word “CLOSER” spread across it) and by a strange kind of fortuitous magic pins his face into the ‘C’ , establishing once again ,you guessed it -“LOSER”. Anyhow , a few scenes later we are introduced into the rest of the jokers at another casino in London. Hetal (Lara Dutta) is seen in a Play Bunny costume (the skimpy clothes ! Did I not mention ?) along with dealer and husband Bob (Ritiesh Deshmukh) at a casino owned by the old and freakish looking Kishore Samtani (Randhir Kapoor) .
The film rolls on. Mr.Bad Luck drops into his London Chaddi Buddy Bob’s place without notice. Scenes involving Hetal in lingerie (Really skimpy ! Did I not mention ? ) , a garrulous parrot , transmission of “visible” electricity , a vacuum cleaner and a bunch of break-dancing niggers follow. Hetal married Bob against father’s wishes (Hello Bollywood !!) .So now father Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) doesn’t speak to her. To prove that even Play Bunny costume wearing and Victoria’s Secret clad Hetals of the world have a heart and love their parents, Lara is seen recording grief-soaked messages on Batuk’s phone and in a subsequent scene requesting “Mr.Nuisance” Aarush to stay with her and Bob. Tears are shed. Then smiles. Rich man Samtani has a salwar-clad “overtly Indian” daughter named Devika (Jiah Khan) who wants to marry an Indian-Indian , not London-Indian .So Mr.Bad Luck steps out of his character and into a party where he meets Devika and about five and a half seconds later, they decide to marry.
Now, Sajid Khan might be a shitty director but he sure as hell knows the value of the assets at his disposal, especially Jiah Khan’s. So in a dream song sequence in honeymoon destination Italy ,Devika in what seemed under-sized lingerie (Skimpy skimpy ! Did I not mention ?), is seen lip-syncing to “Aaja tujhe heaven dikhaungi” while crouching and crawling towards Aarush who (obviously) doesn’t know “what to do” (as opposed to who to do or how to do?). Devika’s (and more importantly Jiah Khan’s) good girl image was too difficult to swallow. Hence in the very next scene Devika is once again seen in an under-sized bikini (no dreams now !) as she emerges Jism-style from the Italian seas and starts hugging and kissing her boyfriend who she wants to but can’t marry because of typical NRI father-woes (Namastey London ?). On hearing the news ,Mr.Panauti a.k.a Loser a.k.a Aarush decides that he has had enough of his bad luck and virginity and swims his way into the seas till he starts to drown. Of course its only an hour into the movie and so Akshay can’t die. So even has his unconscious body starts sinking into the depths of the sea , a mermaid-like Sandy (Deepika Padukone) in hot pants (There were skimpy-clad heroines. Did I not mention?) does her bit. Mr.Bad Luck finally gets lucky with Sandy. The three couples unite in Italy .More cleavage, hot pants , cheesy songs follow.
And now the twist ! Maj.Krishna , Puja’s brother, is also Sandy’s brother. You would guess that since Aarush didn’t know “what to do” , it would not be a problem. But turns out it is. Also, Sandy (hot pants but emotional Indian all the same) advices Hetal to patch up with her father. So Maj.Krishna and Basuk Patel are coming to London. When they do, more cleavage, stupid jokes and Priyadarshini-style confusion ensue. It ends in amidst typical outrageous grandeur and tantamount insanity. All (absolutely all) of the film’s characters serendipitously land up in the Buckingham Palace (where else?) where a delightfully cheerful Queen Elizabeth and a cheeky looking Prince Charles make their appearances. The setting was ripe for Sajid Khan to once again bring his impeccable comic timing to the fore. In probably the most amazingly clever sequence in the movie , the Buckingham Palace’s AC repairers (also Indian obviously) are shown mistakenly substituting the AC coolant with Nitrous Oxide ,which Santa (one of the repairers) dutifully explains is another name for Laughing Gas and which ,he goes on to explain, (this Santa is a genius) makes people laugh their guts out. Post this Chemistry lesson ,the Nitrous Oxide takes effect. Everyone laughs. And yes, Queen Elizabeth’s laugh was the funniest. A few long drawn emotion-filled speeches (Aarush makes one from the Queen’s dias) later, the film veers to an expected happy ending. In a parting stroke of genius , Sajid Khan replaces the “He’s such a loser!” chorus in the beginning with a “He’s such a winner!” chorus in the end. And so the masterpiece ends.
The worst part about Housefull is how it wastes some really talented performers. The likes of Boman Irani and Lilette Dubey and even Ritiesh Deshmukh and Akshay Kumar (both of whom I believe can pull off comedy well) are wasted with cliched dialogues and childish scenes. Sajid Khan , as a cover for his lack-lustre comic timing, casts hot bods Deepika, Lara and Jiah in meaningless roles and simply dresses them up in the hot pants and skimpy bikinis to hog the hold on to the viewers’ attention. The music isn’t that bad and there are quite a few quirky numbers.The heroines look great and so do the locales. About the script and the direction , I think I have said enough.
If you are looking for an air-conditioned hideout to escape the heat for a couple of hours, Housefull should be running in the best theatres in town. If you can’t stop day dreaming about Deepika Padukone , there’s a lot of her on show in the movie. But if you have a IQ of about 10 or greater and are looking for good laugh, I suggest you ask a bunch of fat people to dance and watch them instead.

Sureties are getting Skittish
As a contractor, you know better than your surety what is happening in the construction marketplace. You see certain contractors who are so desperate for work that they are bidding work at unprofitable levels just to keep their crews busy. You know that a contractor cannot sustain their operations with unprofitable work. You also know that a contractor cannot sustain their operations with a low volume of work unless they cut overhead. So, you know there are problems on the near horizon for many contractors.
When those problems start to hit the claims departments of surety companies, somebody is going to hit the red button in the underwriting department and a possible overreaction of emotional underwriting will ensue. How do I know this? This is probably my fourth major downturn in construction. I’ve seen it before. Not every surety will panic, nor will any surety panic all the time. But you don’t want to be talking to the underwriter who is having a very bad day. Since all we do is bonding, we can sometimes settle down a fearful underwriter much like the “Horse Whisperer” by using reason and stating calm facts. Otherwise, we are very fortunate to represent so many fine surety companies that allow you quick access to a more relaxed market. Give us a call if you would like a confidential back up.

How climate change is affecting supply chains
At the end of April, 110 shipping companies signed a letter calling for mandatory slow-steaming to be adopted by the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) working group. The letter did not include the signatures of any container carriers, and has created quite a stir. There are ongoing debates over whether slow steaming would work for the container sector, especially when it comes to perishables, such as fruit.
This news comes just months before the IMO’s 2020 low-sulphur fuel requirements come into effect—underlining the deep impact climate change is having on supply chains worldwide.
The reality of climate riskClimateChange_28218782_s
The United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has articulated two categories of climate risk:
1. Physical climate risks. These are the risks from severe weather events and changing climate patterns. The impacts of these include disruptions in raw material availability, energy supply, supplier operations, and impacts in local communities along the supply chain.
2. Legal and policy risks. Regulations are changing as a result of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Pricing is increasing for fuel and greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers are demanding low-carbon and climate-resilient goods.
Building resilience
Rather than waiting for new regulations to send you scrambling, or the next hurricane to disrupt your operations, the time to start adapting is now. Building climate resilience in your supply chain is essential to meeting and adapting to climate risk.
Assess both physical and regulatory risks throughout your supply chain. Focus where you have the greatest impact and influence and take these resilience-building steps:
Step 1: Consider the range of climate risks and prioritize parts of the supply chain that are most at risk. Is transport your biggest challenge? Or are you dependent on raw materials or agriculture that may be affected? Examine your whole supply chain and identify the priority areas.
Step 2: Identify and implement supply chain actions to adapt to climate risk. Be proactive and inclusive. Include your internal procurement teams, suppliers, and consider broader collaboration to meet your goals. Develop measurable targets for your efforts.
Step 3: Evaluate the impact of your supply chain actions. Share knowledge within your community and industry to continue improving processes. Adjust your programs and goals over time.

I got the email notification that black was in today. There must've been a mistake yesterday. I'm going to hold off to see what reviews say, but I'm more likely to keep one of these in my bag vs my R09.
No, they don't intend to — not that they don't seem to care. If you read the actual MacWorld interview with these guys, they clearly explain their thinking. iOS and OSX are disparate but connected in their vision. They see Mac and OSX as intrinsically important to the future roadmap. Mavericks has a ton of forward-thinking new features with regard to power consumption and so forth, showing that they do care quite a bit. "Microsoft on the other hand..." — Yeah, we'll see.
[ insert scene from "Lisa's Pony" where Homer goes to bed for 1 second before the alarm clock goes off and gets back up ]
Huh, says white's available but black is "Expected availability: March 20 2014"
To be clear, I don't misunderstand any of the above. :) What I'm saying is in a casual conversation or say a headline to a blog article in which one doesn't have the time or space to qualify what they mean by "memory", generally speaking memory refers to RAM which is separate from the "other thing" :) which is storage capacity, whether that storage is made from flash memory or cassette tapes or whatever. The point being "memory hog" makes me think of Safari gobbling up...
Wait, are you saying you also refer to volatile RAM as "primary storage" for a PC? GoodGrief indeed. :)
I don't think they're interchangeable at all, in fact the only times I hear people say "memory" when they mean storage is in error, i.e. they don't know what they're talking about. (NOT saying you don't! :) Memory = RAM which is used temporarily by the OS and Applications as they are actively running, which is emptied when the device is off.Storage = Storage space which your apps and data persistently whether the device is on or . I would never refer to this as "memory"...
Sorry, I don't hang out here all day. I said it was "doable" which is true, regardless if it requires jailbreaking. I didn't know specifics because I don't freak out over advancements in OSes enough to ever roll back to an old version. You seem to be really angry about this, maybe you should calm down a bit — it's just a phone. It'll get better.
Do you use rechargeable batteries? You'll get wayyy more time out of those than standard alkaline (not talking about recharging/reuse — each charge)
You CAN revert to iOS6. It takes a little work, but it's doable — just Google it.

I had previously looked at the importance of artwork, literature, and drama to the anti-abolitionists in establishing and demonstrating the existence of a culture of proslavery for both my PhD thesis and my book, Proslavery Britain: Fighting for Slavery in an Era of Abolition (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). I also wanted to share some of my thoughts here on some of the uses of artistic depictions of slavery during abolition.
William Holland (publisher), ‘The Blind Enthusiast’, 1792 — Image credit: The British Museum
Works of art are vital sources of information. In theory, many types of artistic works could be seen, heard, and understood by a wider range of individuals than written works such as a periodical, newspaper, or pamphlet. They contain visual details that might not otherwise of have been captured by an author’s printed words. Information about Africans and people of African descent in the colonies was shared with a wide swath of the British public and British politicians by Britain’s anti-slavery societies and their opposition. Many of these artistic works could certainly have been created with the intention of swaying public opinion, but their form, being pieces of art, meant that they could also be passed off as a simply pieces of art.
There seems to have been four central uses of artwork, drama, song, literature, etc. that depict images of the enslaved in Britain in the later 18th and early 19th centuries:
• Art as a Leisure Pursuit
• Art as Information
• Art as Propaganda
• Art as a Commercial Endeavour
The divisions between the categories can be quite blurred, as you’ll see, depending on the author’s intention, the date of creation/publication, and the display or distribution of the item.
‘Reading’, analysing, and understanding artistic sources requires a range of techniques that are drawn from the fields of history, drama, art history, and language studies. Items need to be studied within a wider context:
• Where and when was it created?
• Who was the creator/artist/author?
• Who might have seen the work?
• Why might it have been made?
• How does the piece compare to other similar contemporary works?
• Are there any contemporary records that mention it? If so, where are the records from and what do they say about it?
Art is also an interpretation of its subject, so any analysis of a piece of artwork would be an interpretation of an interpretation.
This was a period of growth in the middling classes. People were encouraged to go out, visit newly opened galleries, expanded theatres, and circulating libraries in cities across Britain, share ideas in cafes with likeminded, politically-aware individuals, and develop ‘taste’ and an appreciation for the arts. The upper middling and upper classes also had the money and time to support the arts, read widely and build up a small home library, attend the theatre, collect some favourite political prints or caricatures, and have portraits painted to display within their homes.
People bought or borrowed books and tended to read aloud, allowing for others to share in the experience. Women will still discouraged from attending the theatre (due to the threat of being ‘corrupted’ by the experience); this demonstrates a heightened awareness of the theatre as political and influential, as well as the true mix of crowds in the stalls. Literacy rates were growing among men and women. Novels, known more in the 18th century as histories, romances, etc., became more popular and more common as literacy rates grew.
Portraiture was the most popular genre of art in 18th century Britain. Political prints, however, were a key part of making a politician or other individual recognisable to the wider public. Meanwhile, hundred of poems about slavery and the colonies were also published. Most of these were anti-slavery in nature, but a few supported the institution of slavery or the colonies in general.
A few key things have shaped how slavery would be depicted in the arts in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. First, by defining or classifying Africans and people of African descent as ‘black’ and Britons/Europeans as ‘white’, this automatically places the two in direct opposition with one another. This opposition can be magnified through an artist’s paint choice or pen strokes. In a pen and ink political print, for example, a ‘white’ subject might not have any colour or shading added to their skin, whereas a ‘black’ might be completely coloured in.
Second, as the century went on, we see that for the first time African or black subjects are being depicted as ‘familiar’ rather than ‘foreign’ subjects in some forms of art. This suggests a growing awareness or even a sense of familiarity of slavery or the role of Africans in the British colonies and in Britain. Abolitionists were striving to make the plight of African slaves on slave ships and in the colonies a familiar subject to the British public. They wanted to convince Britons that they could and should help induce Parliament to make a change and vote for abolition. Perhaps this shift in the role of blacks in British art is a sign of their efforts and denoted their later success.
I hope this has served as an informative, interesting introduction to art in the era of British abolition. Next week I’ll look at some specific pieces to show how art (and slaves) were used across the genres of artwork, song, literature, and drama.

The Roman Empire crumbled into bits in around 476 A.D. Some of the causes cited for this "fall" included Christianity, decadence, lead, monetary trouble and military problems all contributed although studies conducted at The Ohio State University cite the following causation:
1. Economic (lack of circulating currency and trade deficit, and other factors not clearly economic, like environmental change and decaying infrastructure);
2. Military (citizenship granted to all reduced the incentive to joint the army), and
3. Gradual transformation from a pagan society to a Christian society and the internal struggles that resulted from resisting the imposition of Islam.
If any of those three above-listed factors look familiar, perhaps that explains the feeling of malaise we seem to be suffering at the moment. Certainly our country is experiencing a decaying infrastructure as well as monetary implosions of various kinds. In addition, we have a president who possesses no understanding of the military of which he is Commander in Chief, an "open borders" attitude toward illegal immigration and an only ephemeral adherence to Christianity in any form. As to decadence, one only has to look at our Hollywood folk who believe that someone may care about where their political impulses lead them, despite their clear inability to reason coherently, and despite the lives of moral turpitude most of them lead.
I think what is happening is something that we can and will be able to resist and change but not without some sacrifice and hard work on our part. We must not allow the Leftists to set and control our national dialogue; nor should we allow them to suppress or stifle altogether the voices of responsible opposition, as the White House is now attempting to do with Fox News.
It occurs to me that Barack Hussein Obama rarely put a foot wrong during his seemingly endless run for the White House. I don't think he ever gave a thought to the possibility that he might win and need to govern and that is why he is so clumsily incompetent now. Mr. President, I respectfully suggest that we aren't a banana republic and the American people will never countenance being treated as if we are! We won't do things just because you say so, we won't accept incursions on our liberty in the name of whatever snake oil you are trying to sell. In other words, we won't allow you to continue your destruction of our beautiful country in pursuit of your socialist aims. I don't even think they are your socialist aims; it occurs to me that you are an empty vessel being directed by George Soros, that ultra wealthy, anti-Semitic Jewish money manipulator who dislikes a country he cannot control and wants to either run us according to his own weird schemes or destroy us if we won't cooperate. He is doomed to fail. We, the American people, will see to it.

Trevor tries to help a former football teammate with past trauma. Hall returns from prison and has a new mission assigned to him from the Director. Kat has complications with the pregnancy.
After asking Marcy to move out, David admits he cannot bear to be without her. She tells him she is dying, and they kiss. Trevor tries to connect with his father. Jeff files assault charges, preventing Carly from finding a job. She asks him to take the baby for an afternoon, unaware he has tipped Kat off to Carly's relationship with MacLaren. Under orders, a traveler murders her host's Cabinet-member husband, and instructs MacLaren to board a flight as Congressman Bishop's seatmate. In flight, MacLaren learns he is to activate a stasis field to save himself and Bishop, while all others aboard will die in a crash. MacLaren discovers Kat followed him on board, believing she would witness his infidelity. He instructs Kat and Bishop to use the stasis device, and attempts to survive impact unaided, using only Philip's knowledge of the crash. At the crash site, the team resuscitate Kat and Bishop, and Bishop is overwritten. To Carly's dismay, MacLaren is taken away by traveler paramedics before the team can reach him.

Taxes: Tyranny or Modern Slavery?
Last week a majority of Americans filed their enslavement forms to the federal government. Some were even unfortunate enough to have to pay the IRS MORE money for the simple right to live and work.
I understand taxes…usage taxes at least. If I use or support something than sure, my money should go in order to maintain and support said entity.
In my home state of Pennsylvania for instance, in order to utilize the shooting ranges on the state game lands you must either get a yearly permit of $30 or a hunting/furtaking license. The income from these permits go to maintaining and updating the shooting ranges.
I’m ok with that. If I want to use the shooting range on state property that the state runs it seems only right that I pay a usage tax for it and why should some hoplophobe or gun hater who will never pick up a gun in their life have to pay taxes to support it?
My only problem with the arrangement is that it doesn’t translate to other things that I have to pay taxes for. I don’t have any kids yet property taxes go to fund public schools. Even when I do have kids they sure as hell aren’t going to some common core indoctrination camp, yet my tax money goes there regardless.
Then there are the things I fundamentally disagree with that my tax dollars pay for like lifetime welfare, Obamacare, foreign aid to countries who hate us, defending civil rights abuses by guilty government officials, gun smuggling rifles to Mexico…the list goes on.
Whether I like it or not, I as well as a bunch of other Americans foot the bill for things we will never use, don’t support and would have to be mugged in order to give money to if asked on the street.
So yes…taxes in one form are a tyranny.
But slavery?
There is one type of tax so insidious, so surreptitious and so un-American that the founding fathers would no doubt have included its exclusion specifically if they had somehow foreseen that this country would one day turn so corrupt.
I’m talking about INCOME tax.
Allow me to describe the broad idea of income tax. You, John and Jane Q Taxpayer work; you toil in your job. Earning a living provides you with food and shelter. All the work you do is yours, yet the reward is not.
You are beholden to a Master who lives in a neoclassical palladian villa on the plantation that is the United States. For an average American, out of a year’s toil you will work four months (111 days to be exact) for the plantation.
While there were some form of income tax since the Civil War in order to pay for it and reconstruction it wasn’t until 1913 that Income Tax became a permanent fixture in the lives of the American “citizen.”
You see, the courts ruled in 1895 that any income tax must follow the Constitution and the modern way of income taxes was ruled UNConstitutional
So the court ruled that Income Taxes as the Federal government wanted them was unconstitutional so what did Congress do? They changed the constitution. Take note 2nd Amendment supporters. Even IF the courts rule in our favor time and again, one bad election could see the 2nd Amendment erased from Bill of Rights (though never from our hearts).
The 16th Amendment made us permanent part time slaves of the federal government. No matter what we do, regardless of what we use or don’t use, for four months a year we work the metaphorical fields FOR THEM.
Let me put it another way. Let’s say from January until the beginning of March you HAD to work but wouldn’t get paid. Your food and housing would be provided for you but you won’t get any money.
Hey America, it’s you from 1860, it wants its legalized enslavement back.
Basically, as you can tell I’m not a fan of taxes. Full disclosure, I am among those that the IRS felt they had to persecute for the viewpoints I have espoused over the years. For the 15 years I filed taxes I never had one issue other. Then I began working for Gun Owners of America and started my blog with them. I’ve archived it here.
Let’s just say I wasn’t with all the warm and fuzzy discussing the current administration. The result? The previous year the IRS had contacted me to tell me that THEY made a mistake and I was being refunded money.
After starting with GOA, the IRS said they wanted the money back…plus interest.
The first year I was with the GOA the IRS sent me a $25,000 bill because they said I made $75,000 more than I claimed. Of course, they can’t read a decimal point and all they had to do was see that the consulting work I was doing right before joining GOA was for $750. A simple clerical error on their part? You’d think so…but no, they put the screws to me and ran up interest that they STILL wanted after I basically beat them over the head with documentation telling them they were full of it. Their response: I should have paid the $25,000 FIRST and then they would’ve reimbursed me.
Yeah right, like i’m going to trust THAT. Anyways, the hassles continued and I’m still fighting the good fight.
This is all leading to something. Just like a slave master with his whip, so too is the administration with the IRS, beating down those who would dare stand up for themselves. One need to look only at the slew of Conservative groups that were targeted. More recently look at Cliven Bundy from Nevada who had the government levy taxes and fees upon him just to drive him bankrupt so they can steal his land.
For four months we are slaves to the government. The IRS is the whip that the taskmaster uses to keep us in fear and working with our heads down.
So is income tax tyrannical or a form of modernized slavery?
They way I see it…it’s both.

The Separation of Church and State in Spain
The Separation of Church and State is still an on-going issue within Spain, highlighted recently when Spain’s Interior minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz ordered a full enquiry, regarding a nun being ordered to remove her head gear when renewing her identity card last February in the town of Pozuelo de Alarcon (Madrid). This is standard procedure to ensure her face was visible for formal identification. However the minor incident reached the ears of the Archbishop and somehow the upper echelons of the Spanish interior ministry whereby Diaz a devout catholic and member of Opus Dei ordered a full investigation.
It was found that the police behaved in an appropriate manner. Opus Dei has been at the forefront of Spanish politics since the Franco regime and has been commonly linked to right wing governments and influential family’s in Spain. The Spanish public have reacted with surprise at the importance placed on the incident and control of religion over Spain’s political upper classes.
The special relationship between the Catholic Church and Spain started in AD 589 when King Recaredus proclaimed the religious and political unity of his kingdom at the council of Toledo. In the intervening years to present day the Catholic Church has played a special role within Spanish society, culture and law.
During Spain’s second Republic 1931-1936 anti-monarchism and anticlericalism took hold in the law with a clear hostility shown towards the Catholic Church, mandating radical separation between Church and State. However dissatisfaction with the government approach to church – state relations was one of the leading causes of the Spanish Civil War.
General Franco’s regime restored the Catholic Church as the established official religion of Spain in the concordat of 1953, gave the church privileged status as the official state religion and recognised its jurisdiction throughout Spain. It was not until the 1978 constitution which reformed the Spanish legal system and allowed the fundamental right of religious freedom. Although with almost 90% of the Spanish population being of the Catholic faith, the historical bond between Catholicism and Spain cannot be so easily overturned by laws alone.
Recently Pope Francis showed the special relationship between the Catholic Church and Spain by inviting Premier Mariano Rajoy as the first official European leader to meet with him at the Vatican. Talks focused on the current economic crisis in Spain with the role of the Church helping those in Spain through charities such as Cáritas.
In a statement from the Vatican the two "reaffirmed the need for a dialogue in society and between all its components, based on the institution of marriage and the family and the importance of a religious education". They also discussed “mutual respect and taking into account values including justice and solidarity in a search for the common good." The Vatican is also vehemently opposed to the Spanish law that allows same sex marriage, the adoption of children and right to inheritance in same sex marriages, passed under the previous socialist government of Jose Luis Zapatero, even though polls show 2/3 of Spaniards back same sex marriage.
The question remains as to how Spain can be truly democratic and independent when the Catholic Church is forever in the background and how can religious freedom be truly attained when the majority of those in power are staunchly Catholic and seem to have no reservation in using their power to enforce Catholic doctrine.

Are Nonprofits Ready for the End of Corporate Philanthropy?
Boston's own Scott Beaudoin, who's also MS&L Worldwide's North America director of CSR and cause marketing, asked in PRWeek Insider's blog last week is this "The End of Corporate Philanthropy?"
Scott's prompt was Nestle SA Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe's recent remarks that he's against corporate philanthropy because it could lead to a misuse of funds. (I guess he had already doubled checked that the company money used for client entertainment was all well spent.)
What Peter and Scott are in favor of are "social investments that are aligned with the business."
Like it or not, this is the future of corporate giving for businesses large and small. Of course, this won't be "giving" at all but rather strategic social investing. And the timing is right for several reasons.
• With the drumbeat of earnings and ROI stronger than ever, companies can no longer fund generous philanthropy programs. Investment in causes, not giving, must be the mainstay if companies are to continue to play a meaningful role in addressing societal issues.
• Thoughtful consumers get it. As Scott notes, "Research shows today's stakeholders understand that companies need to be profitable but also believe they can be purposeful and profitable at the same time."
• To engage more small and medium size businesses with causes, partnerships need to be win-win as only the biggest companies can afford big budgets for philanthropy.
Reading Peter's remarks and Scott's post made me smile because a corporate culture focused on bottom-line benefits for both partners is my reality every day. Nestle SA has had the luxury and, thankfully, the desire to be philanthropic without the worry about the ROI on corporate giving. The restaurant chain I work with may share Nestle's generous instincts but it lacks their capacity. Interestingly, I've noticed that it's when a business is most focused on benefiting from a partnership with my nonprofit that they do the most good for my cause.
But the shift away from corporate philanthropy won't be easy for nonprofits. Going from receiving generous handouts to having to work for your food will take a bit of getting used to.
Here are three ways nonprofits can begin the shift away from corporate philanthropy.
Embrace the brave new world. Nonprofits shouldn't feel guilty that they have to engage businesses as, well, businesses and not donors. Remember, companies still want to make a difference, but they want to help you and society while they help themselves. Think win-win-win.
Make it easy for companies. Don't make them feel guilty that they used to give you money and now they make you work for it. Don't wait for them to tell YOU they need more from their partnership with you. Connect the dots so they don't have to. Create opportunities and programs that are tailored for companies (which leads to my next point).
Start a cause marketing program. The essence of cause marketing is mutual benefit. Whether you use pinups, percentage-of-sale, licensing, cause promotion, etc. cause marketing will help reduce your dependence on corporate giving and give businesses a new way to work with you that is grounded in win-win.
Long live corporate philanthropy. It's a little absurd to think that corporate philanthropy will just disappear. Walmart just gave $2 billion to fight hunger this past week (although I'm sure hunger causes resonate with Walmart's core customers so there is a strategic component to the gift). Will it be reduced? Sure, perhaps a lot. But it will always be there in some form so don't throw away your tin can just yet.
But a world with less corporate philanthropy is here. The challenge for nonprofits is to adapt to the new reality. What seems like the end of corporate philanthropy will actually be a new beginning of opportunity for nonprofits that are up for the challenge.
End or beginning. Which one will your nonprofit choose?
[Note: I'd like your help. I've given three ways nonprofits can begin the shift away from corporate philanthropy to corporate opportunity. What other ways can nonprofits easily and quickly make the move.]

Hugo Rodallega
Rodallega is a target for Tottenham, but will they make a bid today? REUTERS
Wigan have confirmed that Tottenham will likely bid very late today for striker Hugo Rodallega, with Roman Pavlyuchenko looking likely to exit the club.
While Spurs decided to extend Pavlyuckenko's contract at the start of the month, speculation has continued to surround the Russian leaving the side.
And today, his agent has hinted that decisions are yet to be made over the 30 year old's future, telling RIA Novosti: "We're not rushing into any decisions [regarding a transfer].
"We are in negotiations with [Tottenham chairman, Daniel] Levy. Tonight everything will be sorted out."
With this in mind, it would appear that Tottenham are in the hunt for a replacement striker, and Whelan says that while no concrete offer has come in for the Columbia international, he knows that Spurs always leave things to the very last minute.
"It might make sense to cash in now. But if he stays with us to the end of the season he can help us stay up, which would be worth far more than a transfer fee," he told ESPN Soccernet.
"We are used to Tottenham making a last minute bid on transfer deadline day, and by last minute, I mean the very last minute.
"I have seen Spurs linked with Rodallega for some time, but we have not received a bid, not even an inquiry as far as I know.
"That doesn't mean they won't make a bid, but if they do they always leave it late, very late."
Meanwhile, Marseille president Vincent Labrune has revealed that Tottenham put forward a big money bid in the hopes of landing Loic Remy, though a deal was unable to be sealed because the French outfit were desperate to keep hold of the forward.
"In January, I have two deals to manage," chairman Labrune said, as reported by "That of Lucho [Gonzalez], who wanted to leave, and that of Remy, who Tottenham wanted to sign.
"I do not think any other president in France would have refused the enormous proposal the London club made."

10 Tips to Combat Coronavirus 10 Tips to Combat Coronavirus
Why You Likely Lie and Cheat a Little and What Changes That
Why You Likely Lie and Cheat a Little and What Changes That
Story at-a-glance -
• Intriguing new research revealed that virtually everyone has the capacity to lie sometimes, but very few people cheat to the maximum degree
• Little incentives trigger more dishonesty than a sizeable cash reward, and people were more likely to cheat when they knew others were engaging in the same behavior
• While people want to maximize their own reward, they also want to feel like they are a good person, which may explain why people are more likely to lie and cheat “only a little”
• When it comes to making money, many industries throw ethics and integrity out the window; the more a company has to lose, the more they are going to lie
• A reminder of a sound moral code was the only factor that made people stop cheating, so there’s a good chance products that come from morally sound businesses will also be held up to a superior level of quality
By Dr. Mercola
In evaluating the traits of a good leader, more than half of the respondents to a Pew Research poll said honesty was absolutely essential.

Why go electric?
- Mar 26, 2018 -
Why go electric?
Electric vehicles (EVs) are propelled by an electric motor (or motors) powered by rechargeable battery packs. Electric motors have several advantages over internal combustion engines (ICEs):
Energy efficient. Electric motors convert 75% of the chemical energy from the batteries to power the wheels—internal combustion engines (ICEs) only convert 20% of the energy stored in gasoline.
Reduce energy dependence. Electricity is a domestic energy source.
The obvious implication is that an increasing population results in increasing greenhouse gas production. Similarly, increased dependency on technology results in increased greenhouse gases, even while engines become more efficient. If the number of drivers doubles, the fuel efficiency must also double, just to keep the emissions at the same level.
Conclusions: The rising population and dependency on technology are major factors in greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gas concentrations are already close to dangerous levels for further warming and climate chaos in all parts of the world.
Mother nature is telling us to stop destroying the planet and start changing our habits. I hope this site makes you realize that we can help prevent further damage by at least considering Electric On Wheels or a hybrid vehicle

HELP! My screen resolution is oversized and desktop moves around!
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
My MacBook Pro is suddenly misbehaving in a strange way. I say suddenly, but I'm not sure what happened as it was my son who was browsing the net while it happened, and he cannot explain whether he pressed any keys or anything.
The screen has the wrong resolution, completely oversized, so I cannot see the whole desktop on my 17" screen. The desktop is moving when I use the trackpad. The cursor is moving as well, so I have enough control to actually log on and write this post. If I move my finger to the left, the desktop is moving right as if I'm scrolling. What is going on?
It doesn't help to change settings in Displays in Sys Prefs (it is set at 1680x1050 - correctly, I believe), nor does it help to use a mouse or external keyboard. I have tried shutting down/restart, starting from install disk running Disk Utility which only did a minor repair and didn't solve it. Hardware test found nothing wrong.
I could probably solve it by reinstalling the system, but would rather avoid it as I probably will have to go through a lot of settings again. Install disk is 10.4.6, and I'm on 10.4.11 (have been for a week or less without problems).
I would greatly appreciate any help as this is my work computer and must be running properly on Monday morning. Maybe I need something like TechTool Pro to fix it?

are you zoomed in?
Try holding the apple key while scrolling down.
• Reply 2 of 2
Hi Bobmarksdale,
You set me on the right track! Holding the apple key down didn't change anything but a quick search on Help suggested zoom function in Universal Access in SysPrefs. You're right - it was on! My son must have accidentally pressed apple-option-8!!
I've never really checked those things, so I've learn't something today!
Thanks for your help - and very quick it was as well!

Writing is Fastening Nails Given by the Shepherd
Alister McGrath, in a chapter from his book C.S. Lewis: A Life writes about Lewis and the Chronicles of Narnia.
Lewis's growing realisation that children's stories offered him a marvellous way of exploring philosophical and theological questions--such as the origins of evil, the nature of faith, and the human desire for God. A good story could weave these themes together, using the imagination as the gateway to serious thinking.
The origins of the Narnia stories lay, Lewis tells us, in his imagination. It all began with an image of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels through a snowy wood. Lewis's celebrated description of the creative process depicts it as unfolding from mental images, which were then consciously connected to form a consistent plot...
Yet Lewis did not really see himself as 'creating' Narnia. As he once commented, 'creation' is 'an entirely misleading term.' Lewis preferred to think of human thought as 'God-kindled,' and the writing process as the rearrangement of elements that God has provided. The writer takes 'things that lie to hand,' and puts them to new use. Like someone who plants a garden, the author is only one aspect of a 'casual stream.' ...Lewis drew extensively on 'elements' he found in literature. His skill lay not in inventing these elements, but in the manner he wove them together to create the literary landmark that we know as the Chronicles of Narnia (p.264).
As a writer, it is my desire to see the writing process as the rearrangement of elements that God has provided. The writer is not the creator but more of an artist, that takes the colors God has already provided, and firmly fixes the collected sayings; that are given by one Shepherd (paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 12:11).

How Smoking Affects Your Teeth
It’s no secret that smoking is bad for your health, but it can also be detrimental to your oral health. I’m not just referring to having stained teeth, either; smoking can exacerbate a host of other dental problems that are directly linked to more severe health conditions such as heart disease. If you’re worried about being judged when you come in for an examination, don’t be. The following list of smoking-related dental problems is exactly why it’s so important for smokers to visit the dentist.
1. Smoking increases your chances of tooth decay. Smoking slows the production of saliva, which is nature’s way of cleaning your teeth. When your salivary glands aren’t functioning normally, your teeth are left vulnerable to plaque and debris that can cause cavities.
2. Smoking increases your risk of gum disease. Smokers produce more plaque than non-smokers, and when plaque builds up along the gumline, it irritates the gums. Smoking also results in reduced oxygen in the bloodstream, which means that irritated gums take longer to heal. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, and according to a study conducted by Ohio State University, more than 40% of gum disease cases are the result of smoking.
3. Smoking increases your risk of other health concerns. People with gum disease are more likely to suffer from heart disease, strokes, and diabetes among others. Because smoking prevents the immune system from functioning properly, smokers are unable to fight off infection effectively.
4. Smoking increases your risk of cancer. Not just lung cancer, either. Smokers and smokeless tobacco users are more likely to get oral cancers than those who don’t smoke. This includes cancers affecting the throat, and cancer of the cheeks, gums, and tongue, as well.
If you or a loved one smoke and are not coming in for regular examinations, it’s time to make a change. We do so much more than just clean your teeth; we can catch gum disease before it happens and screen the inside of your mouth for signs of cancer, as well. Ultimately, I want you to quit smoking because I want you to be healthy, but when you come in for your appointment, know that you will not be judged. If you are visiting regularly, then you are taking a step in the right direction - toward improved oral and overall health.

It's winter, and the poor smokers are stuck out in the cold again.
They shiver on windy street-corners, taking long drags, the better to get the nicotine in their systems quickly and get back inside. They huddle in doorways - though lots of businesses don't allow that anymore.
It's one of the many punishments we pile on smokers. We scold them constantly and make them pay outrageously high taxes. They've been exiled from the places where smoking used to bring the greatest pleasure: cafes, bars and restaurants. At UMass Amherst, students have to go off campus to legally light up, and that can be a long walk. Even parks and beaches are now smoke-free.
It's not that we're sadistic. But their habit imposes huge public health costs. Their secondhand smoke is a danger and an irritation to everyone else in the office. They are a bad example for our kids. And they smell like ashtrays.
Our punishments are for the smokers' own good, we say, because it makes them want to quit.
Now along come e-cigarettes to rattle that rationale.
E-cigarettes serve up nicotine extract in a vaporized form. They deliver the same nicotine fix that comes from cigarettes, along with other things smokers enjoy — deep inhaling, the feeling you're taking a refreshing break, having something to do with your hands.
But there is no tobacco, no burning — and no smoke. A light vapor may be visible coming from users' mouths, but it is odorless and, while there hasn't been sufficient research to declare it harmless, its chemical composition bears no resemblance to secondhand smoke.
Yes, nicotine is highly addictive, but it's the other things in cigarette smoke - tar, carbon monoxide and hundreds of toxic compounds - that kill you, not the nicotine. E-cigarette advocates call it "vaping," not smoking, because it really is different.
So here's the question: If they have a way to ingest their nicotine without subjecting anyone else to secondhand smoke, should we invite the nicotine addicts back inside? Should we let people "vape" in bars and restaurants?
Or, to put it another way: Are all the misery-inducing anti-cigarette measures put into place in the last 30 years really about about health, or are they some moral judgment society applies to nicotine addiction?
Should e-cigarettes be seen as a savior for smokers who must feed their addiction but don't want to destroy their health, or as a menace?
Some of the anti-tobacco warriors have decided they're a menace. Forty states attorney generals have sent a letter asking the Food and Drug Administration to classify e-cigarettes as "tobacco products" — even though they contain no tobacco. City councils and local boards of health are considering banning them wherever smoking is prohibited. Tobacco Free Mass is asking the state legislature to do the same.
"It's dangerous to think of e-cigarettes as less dangerous than regular cigarettes," Tami Gouveia, executive director of Tobacco Free Mass told a MetroWest (Mass.) Daily News reporter.
It's also indisputably true that e-cigarettes are less dangerous than tobacco cigarettes. Public health advocates should care about scientific truth. Only zealots find the truth to be dangerous.
The zealots wrap their opposition in concern for the children, of course. Teenagers will get hooked on e-cigarettes, they warn, then go on to the real thing.
Why they would assume kids would switch to a nicotine delivery system that costs eight times as much as the e-cigarette cartridges is hard to say, but we really don't know what will happen when e-cig use becomes widespread.
That price advantage may be temporary, of course. State governments are addicted to tobacco tax money, collecting $17.6 billion of it in 2011. Politicians don't want to lose that revenue, even if it means people are healthier, so several states are moving toward imposing new taxes on e-cigarettes.
Reasonable voices, including local boards of health and the Mass. Medical Society, are focusing on keeping e-cigarettes out of the hands of minors. That makes sense. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to nicotine addiction, so it should be as hard for them to get e-cigs as real cigs.
But what about the 75-year-old guy in a nursing home, who has been smoking for 60 years and now suffers from heart problems and emphysema?
He's starving for nicotine, but it's against the law to smoke in a health care facility and against his doctor's orders to even touch a cigarette. Why can't they let the poor man vape?
E-cigarettes can be a gateway for teenagers to smoking, or a gateway out of smoking for nicotine-addicted adults. How many people would fall into which category may be impossible to say, but we shouldn't slam the door on the potential good e-cigarettes can do.
Give the nicotine-addicts a break. If they can get what they need without exposing the rest of us to toxic smoke, why not invite them in out of the cold?

It is called glamping
New and improved way to camp out
It is called glamping
The camping trip to out rival any other camping trip, a little thing called GLAMPING. How would you like to have a television and game system in your tent? How about a queen sized bed or maybe even electricity? Well that’s what glamping is all. Glamping is a new aged form of camping that sweeping across America. Glamping stands for glamorous camping which means you can now experience camping the luxurious way. Whether you’re in a tent or tree house you will have a whole new look on camping. There are no sleeping bags, uncomfortable sleep on the ground, or pesky bug’s in your tent.
Glamping originally came from over sea then came to America back in 1900 when people would go on safaris. Naturally people who can afford to go glamping where not so comfortable leaving their own luxuries back home. So they would be in need of housing and other necessities while they were on the journey.
Once industry’s caught wind of this they set out to create a way to still experience nature and roughing it without actually having to rough it. There are many different kinds of living when you want to go glamping there are tents, villas, huts, cubes, eco pods, yurts, teepees, treehouses, airstreams, eco/safari lodges and cabins. The option of your stay can depend on where you choose to go on your trip and what type of experience you want to have.
Most glamping sites are out of the country like in the tropics, London, and Middle East. If your look to get the chance to try glamping without leaving the country the Indianapolis motor speed way is having its first ever glamping option.
500 race fans finally get to experience the race without pitching a tent or sleeping bags. Starting May 22-26 fans get to stay for four nights and 5 days up to 2 people. This includes legends day Coors light carb day and the Indy 500. Some of the tents are priced as low as $650 all the way up to $1,100. Pricy, yes.
But it is well worth it when you get to sleep in a queen sized bed, have private bathroom facilities with a shower and an actually tarp floor instead of the hard ground. Sounds like paradise, but if you are not into the race then there are other glamping spots around the US. Whether you want to take a vacation to the tropics or a quiet hike in the forest there are plenty of places to go explore and enjoy the ever-growing glamour’s camping.

Live Bingo in Your Own Country
The Chinese can’t stand to have their money tangled up with gambling. Associated with that it interferes with their business, and they can’t stand 에볼루션 카지노 to see any disturbance in that area. It would be a good way for the Chinese to make investments at casinos in other countries if the casinos in those other countries have a payment system that is acceptable to the Chinese. It would be a win-win situation for both parties. The North Korean government would receive some cash from the casinos, and the Chinese could do business with the foreign currency that they were receiving, along with seeing some increase in the value of their currency.
It will be a great way for both countries to trade, as well as perhaps help improve the relationship between the two. It’s possible that the entire tourist influx to Seoul will increase, and the demand for gambling in Seoul will also increase. The capital for Seoul is quite large, and the amount of cash that could be generated from the tourism sector alone is huge.
If the two countries get along, then the south Korean businessmen could have more patrons in the foreign currency exchange market, bringing more tourists to the town, and helping with the neighborhood economy. The south Korean businessmen would also benefit because they would have access to the small import-export businesses that are essential to the north Korean economy. They’re important for the united states, because without them, the north Korean government cannot function. With the liberalization of the forex in the United States along with other countries, the north Korean government has become dependent on the U.S., which has allowed it to develop its small manufacturing businesses. Without such businesses, there will be no jobs, and individuals would not have sufficient income to eat.
If the US decides to have an international event, they ought to consider having a casino Korea event as well. This is the wonderful idea. In fact, I’ve heard that lots of foreign tourists come to Korea just to enjoy the casinos. Of course, once they get home, they want to gamble some more. It really is a win-win situation.
Now that the internet has opened up all over the world, there are various types of events that can be live bingo, roulette, and also blackjack that anyone can attend. If you want to gamble, you do not even have to visit south Korea, as you can do it right from your living room. The south Korean businessmen really like to invite foreign tourists with their seminars. They want the foreign tourists to come and play just a little blackjack and also some live bingo.

Title Fight, Balance and Composure, Cruel Hand, Slingshot Dakota
Nile Theater, Mesa
Monday, September 23
Resale Concert Tickets
Powered By
powered by Seats For Everyone SEE MORE
Whatever the transcendent and revelatory moment that happened during Balance and Composure's set, it was only a lead-up to the full-blown catharsis experienced during Title Fight. People went crazy to the point of bouncers giving up on policing stage divers and instead just letting things unfold naturally.
There's a line that Title Fight either straddles or crosses leisurely between being a hardcore band and being an alt-rock band. Their song "Shed" is as good an anti-sellout/poser/phony anthem as any similar work from the hardcore canon, and people rage hard to it, but they can just as easily play a shoegaze jam like "Head in a Ceiling Fan" and compel people to slo-mo, back-first stagedive in a way that, before last night, I only thought happened in movies.
Whether they are righteously angry or contemplating their feelings, the band has an easy-going, slacker demeanor when they play. It's not as if they are sloppy, they just seem very relaxed and approachable and I think people connect with them partly because of this aspect.
Last night's show attracted a pretty good cross-section of every punk and hardcore subculture stereotype you could think of into a space where those kinds of petty identity politics don't matter. It was like a vacation from everyone's respective scenes. It probably doesn't fit anyone's textbook definition, but I feel like that kind of environment, in which everyone is united on a sentimental level, is pretty emo, and given that hundreds of people were present, I think that it has a pretty broad appeal.

The Best Tires for a Passenger Car on a Gravel Road
by Doug Desjardins
Driving on gravel roads can be hazardous and tough on tires, but there are several types of tires that handle the rigors and dangers of gravel road driving better than others.
All-Season Radial Tires
These are the easiest tires to find for gravel roads and the least expensive. As the name implies, all-season radials are made for a wide range of driving conditions including rain, snow and ice and are tougher than regular tires. All-season tires have a deeper tread and will give your car a better grip on gravel surfaces that tend to be very uneven and tough. They'll also guard against punctures and flat tires, a common problem for people who drive frequently on gravel roads. They're affordable and easy to find at retail stores and tire centers.
10-Ply Tires
Tires with a 10-ply rating are considered heavy-duty tires that can handle rigorous conditions (ratings go as high as 18-ply for military vehicles). The name implies that the tires have 10 layers, which used to be the case years ago, but now the rating is based on the equivalent of having 10 layers (most of today's 10-ply tires have two or three layers). The thicker tires will provide a car with more stability, greater protection from blowouts and last longer than regular tires, something to consider because driving on gravel wears tires out quicker than paved road driving.
Keep Tire Pressure Low
Keeping the tire pressure a little below the recommended standard is a good idea regardless of whether you opt for all-season radials or heavy-duty tires. Lowering the pressure softens the tires and helps them grip the gravel a little better (over-inflating tires will make the gravel feel like ice). The only drawback is that softer tires tend to have a negative effect on your car's gas mileage.

The weather here in the upper Midwest has been pretty perfect for being outside: warm sun, dry air, cool nights…more than a gardening girl like me could ever ask for! So over the past few days, I’ve stolen a few hours to myself to get outside and get my spring-blooming bulbs in the ground. After all, it just isn’t right that the house of the horticulturalist is absent of color in the spring.
Therefore, I went about my task of adding over 300 bulbs of different varieties to our front landscape. Considering our house has a very traditional, colonial look, I wanted to stick with some very classic, bold colors. My selections included Red Apeldoorn Darwin Hybrid Tulips, Dutch Master Daffodils, Tete-a-Tete Miniature Daffodils (one of my fave flowers of ALL-TIME), and then a mixture of Grape Hyacinth Muscari and Scilla. While planting, I decided to demonstrate two methods of planting bulbs: the row or one-bulb-per-hole method and the bouquet method. Determining which one you’ll use when planting your bulbs really depends on the look you are going for. In this post, I’ll explain the differences in each method and how to go about achieving both.
Row or One-Bulb-Per-Hole Method
I think the implications of this method are pretty obviously simply by reading the name. This is the method which most gardeners use and think when planting bulbs. In this method, a single hole is simply dug for each bulb to be planted. This hole is dug to the appropriate depth for the variety of bulb (typically 2-3 times the height of the bulb) and not much wider than the bulb itself. The bulb is then placed in the bottom of the hole, pointed-side up if applicable, and then the hole filled with dirt. If planting in this method, it is somewhat more important to make use of a tape measure in determining where to dig the next hole. Obviously, these measurements don’t have to be exactly the same, but with a few inches is important to give you the uniform look you are going for. If planting multiple rows, staggering your planting (planting holes on a diagonal) will give a much fuller look and appear less like soldiers standing at attention.
This method is very good in applications where a “formal” look is desired. Since all of the bulbs will be evenly spaced, it can also be good in large areas where a massing or “sea of color” is desired. The drawbacks to this method is that precision of measurements is a tad more important and the planting itself takes more time and involves more labor.
Bouquet Method
Again, the name of this method gives away much of the idea behind it. In this method, instead of planting one bulb per hole, a larger hole is dug and an odd number of bulbs is placed in the bottom. This method achieves more of a natural-looking “bouquet” of blooms in the landscape rather than evenly spaced blooms. For instance, if planting a large number of tulip bulbs, a hole approximately 10-12″ across and 6-8″ deep would be dug. Five to seven tulip bulbs would then be placed, pointed-side up, in the bottom of the hole and the hole filled in. When placing the bulbs in the bottom of the hole, all rules of spacing go out the window. Personally, this is the method in which I typically plant and I always just make sure that the hole is dug large enough so that the bulbs are not touching. When digging these larger holes, it is important to create as flat of a bottom to the hole as possible (a shape resembling that of a soup can) so that all of the bulbs in the hole are planted at the same depth. This can be somewhat challenging to accomplish, especially when using a spaded shovel with a pointed end. You may find it helpful to use a pointed-spade shovel when digging the majority of the hole but then switching to a flat or straight shovel to level the bottom. One big advantage of planting in bouquets is that as long as you are working with bulbs of similar planting depth requirements (such as tulips and daffodils or grape hyacinth and scilla), you can feel free to mix them up within the same hole to achieve a longer bloom time and a bigger varieties of blooms in the same area without leaving space between them as you would in the row method.
This method works excellent in areas where a natural, more “free-form” look is desired. Planting in bouquets is also much more manageable when working around other existing plants, structures, or along a wooded edge. The drawbacks of this method include the requirement of larger tools (I personally would hate to dig holes this large with a simple hand trowel) and the necessity of a little larger space to create such a large hole. It also is a little bit more of an investment as it typically calls for a larger number of bulbs.
Hope all of that made sense. It’s kind of a difficult concept to explain and therefore, I’ve included lots of pictures to illustrate the two differing methods. I know one thing is for certain: I can hardly wait to enjoy the results of my labor next spring! Also, Holland Bulb Farms has developed a special collection of the bulbs I’ve used in my front yard this year so you can watch your bulbs grow along with mine! I obviously, highly recommend the color and flower combination.
Until next time,

Solving a user problem vs a technical problem: the difference between creating value and wasting your time
What is the kind of problem you are working tirelessly to solve? Are you actually working to create value or simply wasting your time? The difference is in the end goal of what solving the problem accomplishes. Some very big user problems have fairly simple technical solutions. They are easy to use, solve an actual need and fairly simple to interact with. On the other hand, some very big technical problems really don’t end up doing much for the end user. The former gives you something that people want, while the latter gives you an extremely beautiful piece of crap.
Engineers are particularly susceptible to this. It is natural to fall into the trap of believing that just because something is challenging from a technical perspective, it must be a valuable problem to solve. From a user’s perspective, all that’s important is that the product does what it is meant to. “How” really doesn’t matter. If you are selling mousetraps, does it get rid of the mice better than everyone else? If yes, that’s great. Users aren’t going to care much of what happens within the product as long as it works. You can spend all your time trying to create a very advanced, state of the art, nuclear powered mousetrap that creates mini fission explosions to obliterate the mice, but at the end if it doesn’t get rid of the mice, is unwieldy or uneconomical, no one’s buying it. It’ll be an extremely cool project no doubt, but at the end of the day, a fairly useless one!
Every problem that you solve should tie back to the user and/or to enhance their end experience. Be careful of not getting stuck in your own technical world that is insulated from the user completely. Though it does vary by industry, for consumer facing products more specifically – it is the end user who is king. It is easy to get lost in day to day technical, legal, product, financial, investment problems, but if what you’re working on doesn’t help the end user – you’re not moving forward.
Expressed in slightly broader terms, whenever you look at a hard problem, you need to assess its value independently to determine whether it is truly worth your effort. Becoming the top restaurant in the city: Is it hard? Of course! But how valuable is it given that the next 10 best restaurants are almost always going to be head to head with you?
Passionate engineers, by nature, get excited by challenging technical problems. However, take care that you never lose sight of the user so you don’t end up spending all your effort on creating something which doesn’t end up doing anything.
On the flipside, thinking from a user’s perspective brings focus, where the complicated tasks that you were dreading, often no longer seem to be relevant or worth pursuing. It simplifies things! Not everything is wrong with the world… 🙂
The reality behind “We got 70k users in 2 days of launch”
For any startup, gaining traction depends on two things: 1) How many people are you bringing and 2) How many users getting engaged. The first one has a lot to do with marketing, while the second one has everything to do with the product.
How many people are you bringing?
Companies launch not over one day, but over a process that can last almost an entire month or maybe more. Phrases like “We got 70k users in 2 days of launch” often have a back-story behind them.
1) Instagram – For instagram, they had Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter and about 2m followers) back them. So, when they launched, it was fairly easy for them to get their initial users since they needed to get people like Dorsey reach out to their network and the press picked it up pretty quickly.
2) LinkedIn – I was speaking to one of the co-founders of LinkedIn, who was VP of Marketing. He said that initially most of their users were PR based because in the early days, the product was not too viral. LinkedIn took its time to grow compared to other social networks.
3) SkyFire (funding: $41m to date) – Speaking to one of the founders, they launched when the iPhone had just launched and so were a very press friendly story. They also had closed their Series A which enabled them to invest aggressively in PR. So, a lot of their users were PR driven and then word of mouth referrals.
This is pretty interesting since mostly when you hear stories like “we had 70,000 users in 2 days of launch” – a lot of that is paid for or has significant help. It is very rarely viral just from the product.
The effectiveness of PR campaigns is often questioned since a lot of it depends on content, relevance and visibility. However, besides PR, there are other avenues like SEM, SEO, Social etc. which you can tap into for your initial influx of users.
How many people are getting engaged?
A key point is that after the initial influx of users is established, it is up to you to create a wonderful user experience with your product – create something that is useful and usable to have them stay and give referrals. Instagram grew virally after its initial influx because its users simply loved the product. Similarly, users gained significant value from having a LinkedIn profile, which enabled the network to grow further.
For this reason, before you invest in marketing, you need to keep gathering data, testing and failing in front of a smaller network, probably your own Facebook network till you figure out your product actually works. The product almost will never go viral if you only invite all your Facebook friends, though you will get some very solid data from them using it. Doing this will ensure that when you finally pay for the initial influx of users to come and “launch to the world”, you are better prepared.
Good Luck!

The Unsub Moments That Criminal Minds Fans Hate To See
The beloved CBS procedural "Criminal Minds" ran for a staggering 15 seasons and still has legions of old fans rewatching their favorite episodes and a new generation of fans bingeing them. Currently sitting at an 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, "Criminal Minds" centered on a special unit of the FBI known as the Behavioral Analysis Unit. This specialized investigative team profiles heinous criminals known as "unknown subjects," or "unsubs," in order to track them down before they commit another crime.
The revolving BAU team members on "Criminal Minds" have a diverse set of skills. Everyone works together and shares their unique insight in order to both understand and apprehend unsubs. The cast of "Criminal Minds" is legendary, and features the impressive talents of Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness, and so many more. Fans of the show often take to the show's subreddit to share their opinions, including the moments they hated watching. In particular, some viewers found these unsub moments difficult to watch.
Fans hate when unsubs are killed by the BAU
During a recent Reddit discussion, fans voiced their annoyance around one common trope in the show. The conversation was started by Reddit user Imagineer_101 who asked, "I'm currently on season 4, but I've noticed that in a few situations where an unsub is killed, it wasn't absolutely necessary. Wouldn't you think they would use deadly force only in extreme situations, I mean they want this unsub to pay for what they've done, and I'm sorry but I feel like getting shot is the easy way out. Anyone else feel this way? Also, in a few situations, it looked like to me that the unsub was trying to get shot (suicide by cop) they shouldn't just let them 'win' like that should they?"
This posed an interesting question and illustrates the moral dilemma often faced by members of the BAU. "There are multiple cases where they told the cops not to shoot or that suicide by cop is what the unsub wants but they can't completely control the outcome and all the variables," noted Reddit user Jiffyfly6. Other Reddit users also agreed and believed that justice is sometimes hard to come by when dealing with warped criminals. Reddit user 420Moosey brought up a scene in which Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) was forced to shoot a criminal because they were attempting to drown an innocent bystander.
Will unsubs get 'capped or slapped'?
Reddit user Jedisouth joked, "Me and a friend like to play a game while watching Criminal Minds called 'Capped or Slapped' where towards the end of the episode we try and guess whether the unsub gets 'Capped' (Killed) or 'Slapped' (Arrested)." It seems that the ultimate fate of unsubs was a reccurring trend, but not all are entirely comfortable with the choices "Criminal Minds" made. Original Reddit poster Imagineer_101 added, "I never like when anyone is killed; however, There were a few situations where I could see there was no other way than to shoot, but there were also many times where they could've taken the unsub alive."
One comment noted that it wasn't always the BAU team doing the killing. Reddit user Psychological_Bat865 write, "I've noticed that more often than not, unsubs are killed by local police unjustly. Like the local PD totally just goes panic mode and fires an excessive amount of rounds at the unsub whereas Hotch and the team are almost always trying to talk the unsubs down so they can make the arrest." However, another user taekken brought up a scene where an unsub is clearly killed out of vengeance. "It was presented like a noble thing but uhh...it was definitely murder," they wrote. In spite of these infuriating tropes, it seems as though fans ultimately still enjoy watching "Criminal Minds" again and again.
