An unavoidable aspect
Design Like most people, most researchers and scholars dislike rules and regulations. However, the latter cannot be avoided, like rules on the alphabet, on arithmetic and so on.
Hopefully, scholarship on law can develop into empirical engineering of rules and regulations for governing society, and hopefully wndash might be an example of this. Quite likely, rules and regulations must be very specific where it really matters, like where science and scholarship differ from other social conventions.
Basic Statutes for an association "Wetenschap Nederland" i.o. (also known as "Dutch Assembly of Sciences and Humanities")
Rules for membership (full voting member, supportive non-voting member (e.g. student, since universities combine research and teaching))
Annual elections, say of 33 of the 99 seats, electoral commission, rules for candidacies
Rules for payment of chosen representatives
Rules for meetings and official decision making
Rules for the functioning of the forum of science and learning - with a distinction between discussion about actual practice and a discussion of the Theoretical foundation.

Housing Trends March 11, 2018
Tiny Homes Promote Quality over Quantity
Are you fascinated about downsizing? Do you love small places? Does a simple and serene ambiance sound like music to your ears? Then hop on the bandwagon and get yourself a ‘tiny house’ because we all know the best things come in small packages.
What’s a tiny house? Tiny houses have recently hit the real estate market by storm. The to-go models typically range from 100-175 square feet, while the larger, more permanent cottage styles are usually around 250 to 500 square feet. With a multitude of floor plan choices that include full kitchens and bathrooms, heating, AC, and a reasonable range of prices, a tiny house couldn’t be more practical.
What tiny house are youThe best part about tiny homes is that you get to pick whichever one compliments your lifestyle and needs the most. Are you more of a beach house or cabin in the woods type of person? What about a pool house for your backyard or an art or yoga studio? Or maybe you’re guilty of always wishing there was somewhere else for your mother-in-law to stay while she’s in town. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something less permanent, then a to-go model might be more your speed. You can grab your house whenever you are feeling an itch of wanderlust and head out on the open road. You can park it near the coast or somewhere concealed for a relaxing and quiet weekend. If being on the water is more your thing, there are even tiny floating homes.
Who owns one? The small, but rapidly growing number of tiny house homeowners can be found all over the country. People are shedding their square footage and downsizing from coast to coast. In 2013, the tiny home movement saw 2,600 residents, while 2014 currently has about 4,000 residents and growing. People are joining the tiny house movement for various reasons. Some want to downsize due to environmental or financial concerns, others are looking for more time and freedom in their lives. Having tiny homes encourages people to live beyond their own walls and spend more time in the outdoors and their community. Tiny homes have redefined the American dream by promoting quality over quantity.
If you think you might want a tiny house as your primary home, the only sacrifice is space; the gains however, are countless. Tiny homes come in all shapes and sizes and can be modernminimal, or luxurious. These tiny homes are a fun and exciting endeavor to which you can easily add your own flavor. And because you can get a prefab tiny home delivered right to your door, the home buying process is as simple as the homes themselves.
If you want to check out more house styles you can visit our Tiny House page on Pinterest.

Hello. This may be related to a variety of things such as a vacuum leak (high idle is caused by this many times), a faulty mass air flow sensor, a failing throttle body sensor. The fact that it wants to shut down you supply more fuel suggests that there may be a problem with the air/fuel mixture which is usually a failing mass air flow sensor. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose the high idle and hesitating issues.

Unhelpful support

Review on
Not too sure why everyone is so excited about Binance. It has a lot of coins but so do many other exchanges. Binance doesn’t really solve the problems that it and the other exchanges have. Like unhelpful customer support and having to give them all your personal details.

Hurricane Irma Delays MSI Motherboard Shipments
Hurricane Irma raged across the Atlantic from late August to mid September. The storm wreaked havoc on anything that lay in its path, with a reported 72 deaths and untold property damage ravaging several countries, including the mainland U.S. Now it seems the storm's effects will be felt in the tech industry, because shipments of MSI's latest motherboard, the X370 Gaming M7 ACK, were delayed by Hurricane Irma.
The X370 Gaming M7 ACK officially debuted on September 6. But when we checked several retailers, we found that only B&H had the motherboard listed, so we contacted MSI to find out why the board wasn't available at any of the usual retailers. (We didn't expect it to be sold out, because at least then retailers would say as much on their websites, instead of simply omitting the motherboard from their stores entirely.)
An MSI spokesperson told us that the company was "still in the process of receiving shipment" because a "sea shipment which was supposed to be in Miami port" was delayed by Hurricane Irma. Once that shipment finally made it to shore, it still had to reach MSI, which would then ship the stock to retailers like Amazon and Newegg. The X370 Gaming M7 ACK's launch, at least in the U.S., was pretty much dead in the water. The delay has affected North America, but we aren't yet sure about other regions. Further, the issue is a delay only--there have been no reports of damage to any merchandise.
We aren't privy to whether or not any other MSI merchandise has been similarly delayed.
A delayed motherboard shipment pales in comparison to the many other problems caused by Irma and the other hurricanes that have (and will) tear across the ocean this year. But chances are good that MSI isn't the only company affected by delayed shipments, and motherboards probably aren't the only products that will take longer than expected to reach the U.S. This could have a significant effect on tech companies' bottom lines.
We've reached out to other companies to learn more about how these hurricanes might have affected their shipments.

Fourteen-year-old Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) is sent from her home in Vienna to marry the son of King Louis XV (Rip Torn) of France. At the border, she is divested of all her clothes and possessions — including her beloved dog. The Comtesse de Noailles (Judy Davis) known as "Madame Etiquette" assures her that "You can have as many French dogs as you like."
Just before she left home, Marie's mother (Marianne Faithful) told her that she must be careful of everything she does since "all eyes will be upon you." This proves to be true when Marie arrives at the Palace of Versailles and must walk slowly through a crowd of French nobility all anxious to see the Austrian bride-to-be. In her sumptuous rooms, she learns that she will never have a private moment in the world of royalty and privilege. People will always be waiting on her, bowing to her, or just standing around and looking at her. Privacy is not prized highly in the French court.
After the marriage, Marie and Louis (Jason Schwartzman), the heir to the throne, are tucked into their nuptial bed as a large throng stands gazing upon them. King Louis XV and everyone in the room expects them to get on with their only responsibility — to produce a male heir. But the callow lad, whose hobby is keys, hasn't got a clue how to unlock the mysteries of sex. Louis is much more relaxed on his horse in a hunting party. Marie, meanwhile, never quite gets used to all the ladies in waiting who dress her every morning or the large throng that stands around her and her husband as they eat breakfast.
The pressure to produce a child weighs heavily on Marie as Louis's brother has a son and chilly letters arrive from her mother criticizing her for being such a disappointment. The gossip mongering increases as the years pass and still no child. Marie also causes a tiff by not speaking to Madame Du Barry (Asia Argento), the King's mistress who is widely hated by the French aristocrats for her invasion of their private space. The Austrian ambassador (Steve Coogan) finally persuades Marie to speak to the woman and avoid the King's ire. Marie's brother Joseph (Danny Huston) is dispatched to the court by their mother and ordered to initiate a little talk with Louis about sex. It works, and the couple has a baby daughter and later a son. By then Louis's father has died and he has assumed the position of King.
As she demonstrated in Lost in Translation, director Sofia Coppola is a master of milieu, and here she makes the most of the magnificent environments of the Palace of Versailles, filming in the actual locations where Marie Antoinette spent her days. Her screenplay, based on a well-received non-fiction work by Antonia Fraser, depicts Marie Antoinette as a young woman imprisoned in a golden cage of luxury in a foreign land. Ensconced in a world of fancy clothes, pets, an adoring entourage, sweets, and endless glasses of champagne, she is oblivious to the world outside the palace. Eventually, she finds an oasis of privacy at a rustic retreat given to her by her husband where she can frolic with her children and revel in the beauty of the natural world. She enjoys a small share of personal freedom in this place far away from the reach of protocol. She also has a private affair with a handsome Swedish soldier.
Kirsten Dunst gives a mesmerizing performance as the self-absorbed woman. The film takes us up to the point when at age 37 she was taken away for execution by French revolutionaries. It is easy to see the Marie Antoinette that resides in many of us. That craving for sugar and a life of constant amusement. The illusion of comfort that comes from wealth and having things we desire. The constriction of our world to what our senses can enjoy. The adoration of a small circle of friends. The lavish rooms of the palace, the beautiful clothing, and gorgeous scenery of Marie Antoinette is as appealing and overwhelming to us as it was to the young queen. But in the end, we see, as she did, how privilege and power can imprison us and cut us off from our connection to anybody other than family and friends. That connection is what keeps our souls alive and signals our responsibilities in mending a broken world. We realize what Marie never had a chance to discover — when we take our eyes off ourselves, we truly begin to live.
Special DVD features include "The Making of Marie Antoinette" featurette, deleted scenes, and "Cribs with Louis XVI" featurette.

Make Magic
Holy Week and the Easter season have me thinking about Jesus and all of those miracles.
Like all good Christians and all good salespeople, I believe in miracles. I’ve “performed” a few in my day, crazy as it sounds. They start in your mind (like everything), and then next thing you know, the impossible just happened.
The fact is, we bring all sorts of things into our lives everyday. It’s the way the mind works–think about something and it happens to you. Miracle-makers do this with a lot of faith and concentration, and it pays off. John Q. Public does it unconsciously, and ends up with the flu.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the vast majority of people considered this hogwash. I know that we are rational to a fault these days, but why? So much of the world lives and dies by manipulating the subtle life forces in the ether and in their heads. Even medieval Europe was a magical place. What happened?
One guess is that inventions have replaced magic. Who needs a magic carpet when you can fly or drive everywhere?
As for telepathic communication over long distances? You could spend a year attempting to master the art so that you could vibe with the other 7 weirdos in the Rosicrucian study group. Or, you could get a cell phone since most everyone prefers that technology to anything mystical.
It seems that since we have instant hair, oatmeal, credit, and everything else, we’ve stopped taking the time to create things the old fashioned way. Who needs to turn water into wine when there’s a whole box of it waiting for you at the 24 hour quick-mart?
So much of what the world has to offer is readily available, some of us have forgotten (or never really known) how much we have to offer.
I’m here to tell you, you have a lot to offer.

Jessie Liu, ex-U.S. attorney who oversaw Roger Stone case, resigns from Trump administration
Peter Alexander and Dareh Gregorian
The former U.S. attorney whose office oversaw the Roger Stone prosecution resigned from the Trump administration Wednesday, two days after President Donald Trump abruptly withdrew her nomination for a top job at the Treasury Department.
Jessie Liu had headed the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., which oversaw several cases that originated with former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including prosecutions of longtime Trump associate Stone and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Liu was moved from the U.S. attorney's office after Trump nominated her to serve as the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, a top position overseeing economic sanctions.
A source told NBC News earlier this week that after Liu was nominated, she told the lawyers in her office that she would stay put until she was confirmed. However, Attorney General William Barr asked her to leave around Feb. 1 to ensure continuity in the office, and she agreed.
On the day Liu left, the Justice Department submitted a softer sentencing recommendation for Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. The new filing said prosecutors believed probation would be an appropriate sentence for Flynn. They had previously asked that he spend up to six months behind bars.
A similar scenario played out in a more spectacular way in Stone's this case week. After prosecutors on the case recommended a 7 to 9 year sentence for Stone on Monday, the U.S. attorney's office abruptly changed course the next day, saying that amount of time would be "excessive" and that Stone should get a lesser sentence.
Stone's entire prosecution team resigned from the case in protest.
The 180-degree turn came after Trump had tweeted overnight that the proposed sentence was "disgraceful!"
"This is a horrible and very unfair situation," the president wrote in a followup post on Twitter. "The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!"
Top Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec told NBC News that the decision to reverse course on the sentencing recommendation was made before Trump's tweet at almost 2 a.m.
Liu was not involved in the sentencing debacle, but the president apparently hasn't been happy with how her office handled the case initially, telling reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that "I thought the whole prosecution was ridiculous."
Liu's office also handled the criminal investigation into former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who was accused by the Justice Department's inspector general of lying to investigators. McCabe has not been charged, despite calls by Trump for him to go to prison.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has called for the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate what pressure Trump and Barr might have exerted behind the scenes. He said the rule of law "is just being totally perverted to Donald Trump's own personal desires and needs and it's a disgrace."

Buyer beware: UK advises LGBTQI travellers to be mindful of new US laws allowing discrimination against them.
Drew Sheldrick
22 Apr 2016 - 11:45 AM UPDATED 22 Apr 2016 - 11:45 AM
The United Kingdom has issued a travel warning for LGBTQI people thinking of travelling to US states with new laws allowing discrimination on the basis of sexuality and gender identity.
The UK government's travel advice website now advises same sex-attracted and gender diverse people visiting the US to be mindful of the laws, which vary from state to state.
"The US is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country," the website states.
Mississippi approves 'LGBT segregation'
A new law will allow businesses to refuse service to same-sex couples in Mississippi, drawing parallels to racial segregation in America's south.
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant approved legislation earlier this month which makes it legal for both private business owners and government workers to refuse services to same-sex couples if it is in keeping with their “sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions”.
It was the latest in a series of state bills claiming to defend religious freedom. In March, North Carolina's governor signed into a law a bill that overrides all local ordinances that ban discrimination against gay, bisexual and trans people in regards to wages, employment and public accommodation. The bill will also force trans people to use bathrooms according to the gender on their birth certificates.
Georgia's governor vetoed similar legislation only after large corporations threatened to boycott the state.
There is no specific warning for LGBTQI Australians travelling to the US on the Australian government's SmartTraveller website, but there is broad advice on taking into consideration a country's laws before planning an overseas trip.

This year marks the 28th year of Magic: The Gathering's existence as a collectible trading card game. Since 1993, Wizards of the Coast has created over 100 MTG sets. While many sets released in the 1990s are memorable to long-time players, not all were successes for WotC.
Two early MTG sets deemed failures by WotC are Fallen Empires and Homelands. Fallen Empires' production intended to correct the already felt scarcity of earlier expansions—by being printed to oblivion. The following year saw Homelands, which remained on shelves for a different reason—the low power level or fringe use of nearly every card in the set. Before getting into more specifics that plagued Fallen Empires and Homelands, I would like to highlight one interesting similarity between the sets.
Fallen Empires and Homelands booster boxes hold 60 booster packs. According to Crystal Keep, booster packs for Fallen Empires and Homelands originally retailed for $1.45 and $1.75, respectively. Each set's booster pack contains six commons and two uncommons. Commons and uncommons in both sets have independent sub-rarities. Uncommons designated as U1 appeared once on the rarity's print sheet and are thus equal to rares. Many of the Reserved List cards found in Fallen Empires and Homelands are U1.
3684|| 18221|| 18222||18223
Another interesting fact is that commons in Fallen Empires and Homelands have multiple versions of artwork. Commons in Fallen Empires have three to four artwork variants. WotC reduced the amount of artwork variants in Homelands to two per common. Thus, while there are only 102 and 115 mechanically unique cards in Fallen Empires and Homelands respectively, the artwork variants increase those card counts from a collectability standpoint.
Fallen Empires
Fallen Empires released to retail locations in November of 1994. The flavor text on Fallen Empires cards tells the story of the Sarpadian Empires. An article on MTG's mothership website, The History of the Sarpadian Empires, shares how the Fallen Empires' story unfolds. Another 2002 article featured on the MTG mothership highlights more of the Fallen Empires storyline. Fallen Empire's theme, tribal elements, and story probably did not contribute to the set's downfall. The main issue for Fallen Empires was unmistakably its print run.
Unfortunately, WotC overprinted Fallen Empires to where booster packs were available at retailers for almost four years after release. You might be thinking that this is not an issue as booster packs from sets printed four years ago from today are available in local gaming stores. However, you are likely going to pay a premium for aged booster packs over their initial MSRP. In the case of Fallen Empires, supply outweighed demand. Allow me to share a personal story highlighting how much product got released relative to market demand.
3655|| 18219|| 18249
My brother and I started playing MTG in 1995. A neighborhood friend introduced the game to us after purchasing a 4th Edition starter deck. We had no idea Fallen Empires existed until late 1996. In 1997, we walked into a Babbage's and saw Fallen Empires packs selling on clearance for $0.79 each. After purchasing about 30 booster packs, we opened them only to find mostly bulk cards. Nevertheless, we did enjoy playing with Goblin Grenade, Hymn to Tourach, and Order of the Ebon Hand in our existing decks.
Fallen Empires' overprinting was made worse by the small set size and relatively underpowered cards. Many commons and uncommons, including some of the U1 cards, became bulk due to their availability and underwhelming strength. There were a few more playable Fallen Empires cards such as Breeding Pit, but they were inexpensive and easy to acquire. However, there is one bright spot for Fallen Empires as the set includes 27 Reserved List cards. Rainbow Vale, Elvish Farmer, and Dwarven Armorer are a few Fallen Empires Reserved List cards worth over $2.
Booster boxes of Fallen Empires have a TCGplayer Mid estimated value (EV) of $134 on MTG Dawnglare. Dividing the booster box EV by 60 provides a booster pack EV of $2.23. Considering sealed Fallen Empires booster boxes are listed for sale at $1,000, cracking a booster box is not a good financial decision. The same financial guidance holds for loose booster packs selling for around $15. Since the EV of Fallen Empires sealed product is very low relative to its price, why are individuals paying $800+ for a sealed booster box?
Prices for old booster boxes do not always reflect the EV of the cards found inside. Historically, a price premium gets added to the EV of MTG booster boxes over time. Multiple factors may affect the price premium of booster boxes, including scarcity, nostalgia, and collectability.
The actual sold listings of $15 booster packs from a set containing just six U1s (i.e., rares) with TCGplayer Market prices over $5 and none near $15 are telling. There is the fun and nostalgic value of opening an ancient booster pack in MTG terms. However, I still cannot recommend paying $15 for a booster pack or $800 for a booster box. I want to believe we will see a market pullback on Fallen Empires box pricing that approaches rationality, but it may not happen this year.
Homelands became available for purchase in October 1995 between the releases of Ice Age and Alliances. WotC originally included Homelands as part of the Ice Age block. However, Homelands was an odd fit in the Ice Age block because Homelands and Ice Age share few similarities in flavor or design. Therefore, when WotC released Coldsnap, they swapped the set with Homelands as an official set in the Ice Age block.
4461|| 4510
There is an intriguing story told through the flavor text of Homelands' cards. One of the storyline's stars is Baron Sengir, who made a recent appearance in Commander Legends. Other interesting characters include Ihsan's Shade and Autumn Willow. A 2011 MTG mothership article, Homelands: The Making of a Magic Expansion, shares details about the creation of Homelands and, in particular, Baron Sengir.
If Homelands contains such a rich story, why is the set considered a failure? The glaring reason is the power level of cards in Homelands is low, as previously mentioned. There were only a handful of cards worth including in an MTG Constructed deck back in 1995. Even most of the 35 Homelands cards on the Reserved List lack playability.
Many noncreature spells are lackluster or too narrow in scope based on today's standards, with a few exceptions, including Memory Lapse and Merchant Scroll. One of the more notable Homelands artifacts is Serrated Arrows. You may recall seeing Serrated Arrows as a timeshifted card in Time Spiral.
Beyond a subpar power level, Homelands suffered from other design troubles. In an MTG mothership article titled Make No Mistake, Mark Rosewater (Head Designer for Magic: The Gathering) discusses 20 MTG design mistakes. The very first mistake mentioned in the article is the card design for Homelands. Here is what Rosewater says regarding Homeland's design issues:
And I'll be blunt with you, as someone who's dedicated the last eight years designing Magic cards, Homelands was a poorly designed set. It wasn't very innovative. It didn't introduce any strong mechanics. It didn't have good synergy. It wasn't particularly elegant. It didn't have many of the qualities that we now judge a set's design by. (To be fair, the set was very flavorful, so it wasn't without any design merit.)
Considering the design failures of Homelands, why are sealed booster boxes listed for $1,000? Interest in Homelands booster boxes likely derives from a combination of nostalgia and collectability (the same as Fallen Empires). I already mentioned how set EV is not a good indicator of the market value for old sealed products, but I will share that Homeland's TCGplayer Mid EV on MTG Dawnglare is $231 or $3.85 per pack.
Regardless of EV, individuals are purchasing Homelands booster boxes well above last year's prices when they were $300 or less. Paying close to $1,000 for a Homelands booster box or even $15 for a loose booster pack seems outrageous. Although I think current prices are high, buying MTG products does not have to be rational.
It is important to remember that Fallen Empires and Homelands released over 25 years ago. Each set contains unique storylines and Reserved List cards. Also, Fallen Empires and Homelands are sentimental to many players who discovered MTG in the 1990s.
Over 2020, Fallen Empires and Homelands booster boxes dramatically rose in price to record highs. The price spikes may result from the increasing demand due to the nostalgia, collectability, and scarcity of old sealed products. However, it is unrealistic to expect Fallen Empires and Homelands booster box pricing to revert to $300 any time soon based on current market trends. So if you want to buy Fallen Empires or Homelands sealed products for fun or nostalgia, go right ahead. Just don't buy into these price spikes thinking you are going to earn a profit.

Treemap Chart Example: Telecom Companies Popularity Comparison
Bases on the given data, in this Treemap Chart you can see the popularity of each telecomm company. This data may help us identify which company to invest in.
What is a Tree Map?
One advantage of tree map compare to pie chart is its ability to nest. Some categories may have different sub categories, such as a phone line up, or departments of a branch. However, a pie chart may have to use multiple charts to display the data as its lack of ability of nesting. Tree map on the other hand, allows the uses of nested chart, which allows a tree map inside each categories, and this also allows users have a direct comparison on leaves from different branches.

How Self-Help Publishing Ate America -- New York Magazine
How-to writers are to other writers as frogs are to mammals," wrote the critic Dwight MacDonald in a 1954 survey of "Howtoism." "Their books are not born, they are spawned."
MacDonald began his story by citing a list of 3,500 instructional books. Today, there are at least 45,000 specimens in print of the optimize-everything cult we now call "self-help," but few of them look anything like those classic step-by-step "howtos," which MacDonald and his Establishment brethren handled only with bemused disdain.

Problems Imaging the Morbidly Obese Patient
Leigh S. Shuman, M.D.
Lancaster Radiology Associates, Ltd.
Dr. Paul Kettl
The adverse health effects of the obesity epidemic have been well chronicled in this issue of JLGH and throughout the literature. Less discussed is what happens to the obese patient once they become ill. What effect does body habitus have on our ability to diagnose and treat the patient? In 21st century medicine, the nexus of diagnosis is imaging, and the negative impact of morbid obesity in diagnostic imaging is profound, if seldom mentioned. If anyone should doubt the severity of the problem, this author read fewer than 30 examinations to identify 6 patients’ images to illustrate this article.
It is important to recognize that we are referring to the truly obese in this discussion, not the mildly overweight individual. While increased body fat can limit some modalities, like ultrasound, a few extra pounds of fat can actually help to evaluate the patient when using computed tomography (CT). It is much easier to diagnose appendicitis by CT in an overweight 50 year old than in a skinny 9 year old. Intraperitoneal fat surrounds the bowel and internal organs, provides a natural contrast agent, and makes the appendix easy to find. When the appendix is surrounded by nothing but other loops of bowel, as it is in most children, it can be difficult or impossible to find, especially without contrast material in both the bowel and vasculature.
The problems of imaging the morbidly obese can be divided into two broad categories. The first are physical limitations of the imaging equipment and supplies, and the second relate to the imaging medium itself, whether X-rays, sound waves, or excited protons, as in MRI.
To be studied with modern imaging equipment the patient must usually be lying on a mobile surface, in order to move the appropriate part of the body into the x-ray beam. Particularly with CT, accurate imaging requires this motion to be very precisely calibrated both in location and speed. Heavy patients severely tax or can even break the mechanism on which the patient is lying. All X-ray equipment vendors specify weight limits for their equipment, typically in the high 300 to low 400-pound range. Placing patients larger than this on the table risks injury to the patient and damage to the equipment, and it specifically voids any warranty provided by the manufacturer.
Figure 1: CT of the abdomen shows marked loss of detail, especially around the edges of the image where the patient’s body is in contact with the scanner. The patient also has a large ventral hernia (arrow), common in the morbidly obese.
Equipment that encircles the patient, like CT and MRI, must have a bore large enough to accommodate obese patients without allowing them to touch the sides of the device, which produces artifacts. (Fig 1) Making larger bores for CT and MR would seem the obvious solution, but doing so introduces compromises, as the further the sensor is from the patient, the lower the strength of the signal. This is not a linear effect but an inverse square, so putting an MRI coil twice as far from the organ of interest (e.g. 6 cm instead of 3 cm) leads to a 4-fold loss of signal. So-called open MRI’s use a number of tricks to overcome this problem, but all involve some loss of information.
Interventional equipment must cantilever the patient over the x-ray tube, and the table must travel long distances to be able to cover from head to toe. Morbidly obese patients cannot be put on such devices without damaging the table. Even the needles, catheters, and wires used for interventional procedures do not usually come in sizes long enough to use in the extremely large patient. All who do these procedures have encountered patients in whom “you just can’t get there from here,” and the nodule or kidney stone may be beyond the reach of the available needles, even if the lesion can be seen. Also, hitting a 1 cm target that is 20 cm away is much harder than hitting the same lesion at 10 cm, as any slight error in direction is amplified as one goes deeper.
Figure 2: A chest X-ray in a morbidly obese individual shows the effect of scatter radiation. The image is grey and indistinct. Very little detail can be seen in the lungs.
As the patient gets larger, the energy used to create the image becomes less effective. In the case of sonographic images, which require sound waves, penetration falls off rapidly with increasing depth. Using lower frequency sound permits greater depth, but produces much lower resolution. When X-rays are directed at the patient, the images are formed by the contrast between X-ray photons that pass through the patient and strike the detector, and those that are blocked, leaving the detector undisturbed. However, a third phenomenon, called scatter radiation, occurs when the photons are deflected by tissue in the patient, but still reach the detector. This scatter radiation contains no useful information, as it arrives from random directions and produces a uniform grey fog on the radiograph, obscuring any detail. (Fig 2) The more obese the patient, the more scatter occurs. Getting a more powerful X-ray tube does nothing to help this phenomenon. In the case of nuclear medicine studies, the radiation is injected into the patient and is detected as it passes through the tissues and out of the body. Morbidly obese patients absorb much more of this radiation before it can escape and be detected, degrading the images. (Fig 3)
Figure 3: Nuclear medicine bone scan. The bones can barely be seen, and individual vertebrae cannot be distinguished.
In conclusion, morbid obesity causes a number of serious health problems. Alas, once ill, these patients’ problems have only just begun, as our ability to diagnose and successfully treat what ails them is always difficult, and sometimes impossible.

Why did Jesus asked Peter 3 times?
This is the question Jesus is really asking Peter. Peter had expressed a willingness to follow and even die for Jesus (John 13:36-37). It was in response to this statement that Jesus said Peter would soon deny Him three times (John 13:38). Peter demonstrated a willingness to fight for Jesus (contrary to Jesus’s will!)

Prairie Swim - PS Blog 2019-10-25T16:38:00-04:00 Prairie Swim 2019-10-25T16:38:00-04:00 2019-10-25T16:39:10-04:00 Quick Pinterest Tips Alexandra Rabbitte So of allll the internet trends I jump on (trust me I jump on them all) I was always very slow to Pinterest. I think in its early stages I was young and therefore not as into cooking or DIY home décor projects. Lately, the algorithms with Facebook and Instagram seem to be stunting growth for a lot of small or new businesses. I had been seeing a lot of people that I respect in the social media marketing space say that they had jumped ship to Pinterest and were making more money than they imagined, and so, I was sold.
Here is why you should put most of your time and energy into Pinterest
1. It is actually a better search engine than Google for a lot of things.
One of the things I hate about Google is that it constantly brings up stale articles. As we know, many factors go into search engine optimization but one of them, is the time that it has been on the internet. Which honestly, makers zero sense to me. In this rapid fire changing world why would I want to pull up a forum from 2008 when something is glitchy with my iPhone? I usually go to the news section of Google and hope for the best but with Pinterest, you don’t have to do that.
1. It is way more visual
I was listening to Julie Solomon’s influencer podcast and it talks about the power of Pinterest. In it, I learned that Pinterest is literally a search engine. Its like google images on crack. It is so quick to show you related images and you can actually narrow in on a part of an image to find images related to that.
What I initially thought was a site for mostly recipes, décor, and DIY was actually just a visual portal to anything I wanted to find. When I was looking for marketing tips, templates for pitches, logos, or an explanation of cryptocurrency, there was an abundance of visuals, infographics, and links to shops and websites where I could get whatever I needed.
1. If you are using it for business purposes you don’t have to beat the algorithm.
There is a deeper side of Pinterest I could walk you through but basically there are so many ways where if you just follow the rules you are basically guaranteed to have your pins viewed. Here is what you need to do to get your business thriving on Pinterest:
1. Make your Pinterest a business account and get your website verified to it, this enables you to view their analytics tools which are incredibly thorough and it also enables you to create pins and link them through to your site. It is literally the easiest way in the world to drive traffic to your site.
2. Add SEO style descriptions into your pins, even if you are just re pinning and it isn’t there, add the key words that would help drive someone to your account. A good tip is to search your own description in another tab and add the related tags suggested.
3. Make Pinterest friendly graphics that describe your website. If it’s a product it is a bit easier but if you want to drive traffic to say, your real estate website, make sure you use a strong image and a headline on why someone would want to check out your post or your site. Here is an example of what I mean:
4. Use a third party site like Tailwind to schedule your pins. This means that basically you can sit down for 20 minutes and plan your pins for the week, it’s that easy. If you can, try to join some tribes where you can share your own content into groups that are sorted out by niche.
5. Make your Pinterest shoppable, using rich pins you can drive directly to your Shopify page, basically this means that when anyone hovers over a post of your product it will make it clear that it’s a shoppable post by showing the website link, you can even run ads units like you can on Facebook, meaning, buying ads based on intent (reach, awareness, click through, conversions etc.) You can choose your CTA (call to action) and content to promote like you would a Facebook Ad but its like, way cheaper.
Follow us on Pinterest and if you want any more advice on how to help grow your Pinterest or drive traffic to your site, let me know and I am happy to share more of my tips!

I go through smoothie phases, sometimes I love them and sometimes I just well, don't. Right now it's the loving phase and I make basically the same one every time. I will eat this as a meal, generally breakfast or lunch and find it very filling.
+ 1/2 - 1 banana, peeled & frozen
+ frozen chopped spinach, roughly 1/4-1/2 cup
+ frozen blueberries, 1/4-1/2 cup
+ 1 tbsp natural crunchy peanut butter
+ 1 scoop Iron Vegan Unflavoured Sprouted Protein
+ 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
+ cinnamon
+ ice (optional, depending if you're using frozen fruit or not)
& voila! Super easy and delish. Sometimes I will throw in some gluten-free cereal or granola if I want a special treat.

Working from home can seem like the best thing ever, especially to someone who is used to working in an office - you can have the TV on, wear your pajamas, run your errands in between calls, etc. How awesome!! However, coming from someone who works from home 75% of the time, the novelty wears off, trust me. I've been without an office for over 6 years now, so don't get me wrong, you've probably seen me at the nail salon at 2 pm on a Tuesday, but I've had to learn ways to ensure I'm not spending my days in bed watching Netflix.
These are the tips that I try to incorporate into my work-from-home days so that I'm productive and get done what I need to.
1) No sleeping in - if I'm not doing a 7 am workout class, I try to make sure I'm up no later than 7 am. It's easy to feel like you can sleep in, but I think it's important to start your day early enough as though you're going into an office
2) Change out of your pajamas - as soon as I wake up, I get out of my pajamas and put on workout clothes (not sweatpants), or jeans. This gets me into the mindset that I cannot just go back to sleep.
3) Create my to-do list for the day - I try to do this before I open my laptop. I start with listing out the tasks I want to accomplish and then adding timeframes to everything ex. 9-9:30 am "create to-do list", 9:30 - 10:30 am "respond to emails", etc.
4) Keep my phone on "do-not disturb" mode - this likely annoys some people when they can't reach me but I turn off all notifications for text messages, emails, calls, Instagram so that I can stay focused on my tasks at hand.
5) Time batch - when I'm trying to get my to-do list done, I will put on a timer for 25-50 minutes at a time. During this time I can only work on the one thing I have planned out. Once the timer goes off, then I can take a 5-10 minute break to check my phone or get a snack or coffee.
6) Go for a walk/stretch - it's easy to not leave the house when you're working from home. I try to go for a walk either before my day starts, during lunch, or after I'm done for the day. If I can't get for a walk then I will take some time to stretch with my foam roller and yoga mat.
7) Try to keep a consistent schedule daily - I do try to keep my daily schedule similar each day to create a routine for myself and keep myself accountable ex. start my day by 9 am, spend x hours on certain tasks daily, etc.
8) Keep junk food out of the house - random one, but since you're at home you have access to everything in your house. I try to keep healthy snacks available for when I need some energy.
9) Limit email checking - it's easy to just sit there and reply to emails all day. I try to only answer emails 2-4 times a day so that I can get my actual work done.
10) Set a start time and an end time - similar to keeping a consistent schedule, I try to create a start time and an end time. Because there is no commute to my kitchen table, sometimes I will wake up and immediately start working at 7 am, but I've tried to create more clear times as to when it's time to start and finish work.
I hope you find these helpful! I would love to hear any tips that you have for when you're working from home!

Many of you probably don’t know that I work full time in the skin health (aka skincare) industry. I have always obsessed over skincare; I grew up with acne; still get it, it’s the worst!! so it’s been pretty awesome having exposure to that business. I’ve been working with skincare and aesthetic professionals for over 6 years, so it’s pretty safe to say I do know a fair share about skincare, so I want to share it with you!
I will 100% put together an acne-related post because I know SO many people struggle with it, but we’re going to start with anti-aging!
I’ve used an abundance of products over the years, again mainly acne-related, but since I’m now I'm 30 and I’m not getting younger, anti-aging products have made their way into my daily routine. These are the 3 anti-aging products/ingredients that I cannot live without.
anti aging products
Vitamin C – I use a 20% Vitamin C serum every morning. Vitamin C is an amazing antioxidant; it protects and repairs free radical damage (free radicals – pollution, stress, sun, etc., cause aging). Vitamin C aids with collagen production, calms inflammation, & brightens the skin. It also helps to retain moisture (hydrated skin is younger and healthier looking) and it supports your UV protection aka your sunscreen.
anti aging products
Retinol – I use a 1.0 Retinol cream 3-4 times a week in the evening. Retinol is soo good for acne, pore size, wrinkles, skin texture, and tone! Retinol aids with cell turnover; damaged cells are replaced with healthy cells (the faster the cell turnover the better, think babies skin; so plump and even) and boosts collagen production (more collagen = fewer wrinkles).
anti aging products
Sun Protection– I use sun protection SPF 50 every day regardless if it’s rainy, snowing or sunny. Sun protection is SO key in any anti-aging routine; protect your investment! Continued sun exposure causes photoaging (premature wrinkling, along with brown spots, redness, sagging) on the skin. The sun damages the elastin fibers; collagen and elastin provide the structure of the skin, SO damaged elastin fibers = sagging skin and wrinkles. The sun also promotes inflammation – this triggers the skin to produce melanin (the colouring) in the skin as a reaction – think brown spots or redness/sensitivity – also no thanks!
Products pictured above: Colorescience Sunforgettables Brush-on Sunscreen SPF 50 (shade medium), Obagi Professional-C Serum 20%Obagi 1.0 Retinol
Do you have any favourite anti-aging products? I would love to hear what you use!

As you may or may not know, I had a surgery about a month ago and have been ordered by the doctors to not workout for 6 weeks. I'm used to working out 4-6 times a week, and mainly high intensity/high impact workouts, so this was less than ideal. BUT my health long-term is more important, so I've been following what they've said and have subbed out my workouts for walks. Given the amount of walking I've been doing, I figured I might as well try to gain something out of the time and started listening to podcasts. I only had a few in my library so I asked you guys for some podcast recommendations and was given a bunch!
Here is the list of podcasts that were recommended:
- The Skinny Confidential
- Oprah's Supersoul Conversations
- Pivot - Recode

To disclaim is to deny, usually in order to avoid blame. If you push your brother and he trips and falls, you might disclaim responsibility for the action, saying he is just clumsy.
If you decide to go skydiving, the company you dive with will likely you ask you to sign a disclaimer of liability. This is a form that says you will not sue the company if you injure yourself on the dive. In it, they disclaim liability for your undertaking this dangerous activity. Obligations to do something and product warranties can also be disclaimed which means that they will not be honored.
Definitions of disclaim
v make a disclaimer about
“He disclaimed any responsibility”
assert or affirm strongly; state to be true or existing
Type of:
declare untrue; contradict
v renounce a legal claim or title to

Review: Front Mission 4 - PS2
Title: Front Mission 4
Platform: PS2
Author: Snowcone
I really enjoyed Front Mission 4 and have every intention of making this part of my PS2 library at some point. Had I known this was turn based I probably would have passed over it and never realized how enjoyable it really is. So here is an official endorsement from the man who hates turn based games.

Review: Mario vs Donkey Kong - GBA
Title: Mario vs Donkey Kong
Platform: GBA
Author: Snowcone
Mario vs Donkey Kong is a very simple but fantastic looking platform style puzzle game that really rocks. The short but difficult levels make it easy to stop at any time and the available 2nd quest makes it appealing even for long bursts of gaming. All in all I would say MvsDK is a worthy addition to any handheld library. I fully recommend it and I don't say that very often.

Since it is such a different style of gameplay I suggest you rent it first. If you aren't into the game renting thing then look for a pre-owned copy because if you pay the 50 bones and hate it you are going to be a little angry.

Overall, Egg Mania is a fun game to play, that can be very addicting. If you like puzzle games, and especially if you like Tetris I think you should give Egg Mania a try.

Examine the concepts of immortality of the soul with resurrection of the body - to what extent is one of these a more convincing argument for life after death than the other?
Extracts from this document...
Transfer-Encoding: chunked AO1) Examine the concepts of the immortality of the soul with the resurrection of the body. AO2) To what extent is one of these a more convincing argument for life after death than the other? AO1: Since the beginning of time, philosophers have debated whether a post-mortem existence is possible. The eschatological question not only terrifies us, but astonishes us also. Religion to many provides the comforting idea that this short, seemingly irrelevant existence has meaning when being put towards an afterlife. Different religions teach different forms of life after death within their institutions, but how can we evaluate which one is more plausible? Resurrection is a central doctrine within Christianity, it is also very important amongst other monotheistic religions such as Islam and Judaism. This monistic approach sees that God, as an act of love, will bring back to eternal life those who have died. ?He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live?.(John 11:25) The person who has died is not ?resuscitated? for this would be a contradiction as life and death are two wholly separate states. The person is no longer the same as the one who has died after resurrection, instead they are given by God a ?spiritual form? also known as the ?soma pneumatikon? which is the continuity of memories and characteristics. ...read more.
Things that change must eventually decay, it is the soul which stays the same. It would therefore be impossible to assume that soul is made from body and body is made from soul. Cogito Ergo Sum or ?I think, therefore I am? is a quote from French philosopher Rene Descartes who is sceptical of the physical world and suggests that to doubt the physical existence of a person is proof of the reality of one?s mind. It would imply that one is not robotic but can think for oneself and proposes that we are free willed. Descartes argues that the soul is the most meaningful way of understanding the afterlife. This notion of life after death would support the perception of the soul being the most meaningful and important reality for it focuses entirely on the soul as opposed to the physical body. Immanuel Kant believed that the purpose of human existence was to achieve complete good or ?summum bonum?. Life is far too short to reach this and so God is morally obligated to grant us eternity. Morality would otherwise be pointless. Immortality of the soul grants the idea of multiple life times in which we can gain this potential. ...read more.
If there are no challenges to overcome, what is the point in existing in an afterlife? How can one be sure that it is truly worthwhile? H.H Price also points out that if we do not have a physical body, how can we interact with other souls? Perhaps we continue to exist but not consciously. There are two men walking down a road, one believes that the road will take them to a city, the other believes there to be nothing. If they do not walk, it cannot be proven right or wrong, they have to reach the end of the road to know the truth and so to argue is meaningless. In conclusion, both the idea of judgement day and death itself cannot be verified until the end of life is reached, and so religion is meaningless. Neither form of life after death provides empirical evidence to support the notion. Immortality of the soul does however seem more plausible than the idea of a body coming back to life as we often hear of people recalling past lives. The only evidence of Resurrection is found in the Bible which is outdated and focuses on the resurrection of Jesus. Immortality of the soul is therefore a more convincing argument for life after death than Resurrection of the body. ...read more.

Theories of the resurrection of the body are logically coherent.

to put a body back together, make it work, and then say that life after death is a reality. I believe this goes against the concept of 'resurrection'. By 'resurrection' we mean that a body comes to life after having experienced death.

Plato spoke out against them. He believed that truth, not worldly success, was the proper aim of philosophy. Plato's point is that we can never have true knowledge of anything that is in a constant state of change. We can only have opinions about things that belong to the world of the senses, tangible things.
2. Body soul destinction
The mind according to Descartes is non - spatial and is distinct from material and bodily substances. He suggested that everything has characteristics and that the mind and body's characteristics are different therefore hey must be separate. For example a property of the mind may be consciousness, whereas the body has more aesthetic qualities such as height breadth etc.
1. Why does the mind and body problem still exist?
Someone who challenges epiphenomenalism is David Chalmers. Another theory is known as Materialism which is that everything is either made only of matter or is ultimately dependant upon matter for its existence and nature. One of the first materialists to emerge was Aristotle, later on Thomas Hobbes and Pierre Gassendi represent the materialists tradition in opposition to Rene Descartes.
2. Explain the fundamental ideas of resurrection and immortality of the soul. (18)

2. The Concept of Life After Death is Incoherent - Discuss.
Hick criticises this in saying that there is an inconsistency between saying that our mental world after death is created by our desires and that the world is shared, it would be quite obvious that there would be conflicting desires from each mind thus creating a different world for each of us.

The Choice is Between ’Guns and Guns’ not ’Guns and Butter’
Written by Richard Kane
Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:06
There was a Bipartisan Congressional letter calling for Defense Cuts, ie Less US Guns Roaming the World. Every single Libertarian leaning Republican signing that letter likes domestic guns ie against against gun control, while all but one of the Democratic Reps signing that joint letter is for gun control, Kurt Schrader goes to great lengths to claim to be neutral on Gun Issues
However the US faces a third choice accomplish neither. Many don’t like a Libertarian - Left alliance on the grounds of principle, or just find it disgusting, generally progressive people who go social justice or labor meetings and speak up for Ron Paul get challenged even insulted more than self-proclaimed Conservatives who praise Paul, and the other way around in pro-traditional values meetings.
Anyway if the gun control groups got together with the defense industry, putting them on their boards etc. there would be a quick assault rife ban in the US. If instead peace groups would put libertarians on the boards of their peace groups the US would quickly stop pouring arms into Syria, for both sides to end up killing each other with, and and if things backfire end up killing Americans as well. I remember hearing an old World War II joke (or was it a story) about selling our scrap metal to Japan, and getting it back during the war.
The left leaning Democrats that called on the Budget Committee to make Defense Cut are:
Keith Ellison MN (NRA 0), Barbara Lee CA (NRA 0), Michael Honda CA (NRA 0), Jared Polis CO (NRA 0), James Moran VA (NRA 0), Barney Frank MA (The National Rifle Association seems to remove ratings when someone doesn’t seek reelection), Jerrold Nadler NY (NRA 0), Kurt Schrader OR (NRA 83% his belief seems to be, arguing is counter productive on gun issues), Edward Markey MA (NRA 0), Gwen Moore WI (She has a intense crusade against the NRA), Lynn Woolsey CA (NRA doesn’t rate either since she is not seeking reelection).
Before I list the Libertarian leaning Republicans who want military cuts, I will mention Ron Paul who seems to have retired a little early. Ron Paul has been extremely persuasive on Gun Control far more so than anyone with a sharp tongue to bait and thus inspire the gun control crowd.
The Republicans who insist on Defense Cuts are: Mick Mulvaney SC (NRA 92%,) Tom Mctvancy CA (NRA 92%), Morgan Griffith VA (NRA 100), Justin Amash MN (NRA 58%) Amash is portrayed as the new Ron Paul but not when it comes to gun issues, Raul Labrador WI (NRA 92%), Reid Ribble WI (NRA 92%), Thomas Massie KT (NRA) 92%), Dan Benishek MI (NRA 100%), Scott Garrett NJ (NRA 100%.
Justin Amash and Mick Mulvaney’s Congressional web pages are filled with material urging Defense cuts. Now that the tragic killings at an elementary school took place many who want defense cuts have partly moved much of their focus instead to domestic gun issues.
The only way that tragedy could have been averted is to either ban assault weapons or else requiring that those with a license to have then have a finger print electronic trigger lock that allows only the owner to fire it, and sends signals though the internet for tracking purposes if anyone starts to try to jimmy the finger print lock. Attempting this will guarantee that children in Syria will continue to die from US military aid, and the US will continue to have a overwhelming financial burden from defense spending. The choice is gun deaths at home, or US international guns aid and US gun firings around the world and overwhelming military expense. Before his district got redistricted from under him people used to rely on Dennis Kusinich when it comes to peace issues, if Justin Amash and Raul Labrador became a team they could, in a somewhat different way, be just as powerful. your social media marketing partner

As I indicated is the problem I have with gun control is that libertarians support some of the same issues that I do like no summery justice by drone attack.
Since so many people are killed with their own gun perhaps guns should be sold with a free trigger lock and finger print lock so only the owner could use them. This whether it is used or not.
Perhaps the punishment for an illegal gun could be less if the owner of the illegal gun had a fingerprint lock on that gun. Even robbers don’t want to be shot with their own gun. So the the illegal gun wouldn’t be easily sold for quick cash, or stolen by another robber frequently the case.
Perhaps even the owner of an illegal gun could gain something besides less prison time if caught if one attends a gun safety and anger management course.
Please those interested in the Second a
Amendment make a suggestion,

It is no accident that Republicans are also the leadership of the NRA. They are also the driving force behind the race to the bottom; cutting Social Security, Medicare, and wages for most Americans. As climate deniers they are leading the Corporate destruction of the planet.

Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Prediction Models Following In Vitro Studies in Preclinical Development
In preclinical development, a drug will be evaluated for potential to cause a drug-drug interaction (DDI) using in vitro experiments and then calculations that provide context and meaning to the results.
Methods spanning simple mathematical models to computer simulations predict drug interactions based on in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters, and in some cases replace clinical trials. Model-based methods extrapolate in vitro data to clinically relevant enzyme- or transporter-mediated drug interactions and can also help with selection of first-in-human (FIH) dose by predicting safe drug concentrations.
There are four categories of model-based methods specified in the FDA’s Final Guidance for Industry to predict DDI risk using in vitro data:
• Simple (Basic) static
• Mechanistic static
• Dynamic minimal Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK)
• Full PBPK
Typically, an in vitro study can assess a compound’s potential to cause a DDI. Data are analyzed with appropriate calculations specified in the most recent FDA Drug Interaction guidance to industry to support the sponsor’s decision-making process.
Straight From the FDA Guidance:
Using Model-Based Predictions to Determine a Drug’s Potential to Cause DDIs
“Mathematical models can evaluate the results of in vitro and in vivo DDI studies to determine whether, when, and how to conduct further clinical DDI studies in drug development. In many cases, negative findings from early in vitro or clinical studies, in conjunction with model-based predictions, can eliminate the need for additional clinical investigations of an investigational drug’s DDI potential. Mathematical models that integrate in vitro findings and are verified with clinical PK data can play an important role in predicting the DDI potential of an investigational drug under various scenarios. There are several models to consider when evaluating the drug as a perpetrator of a metabolism-based DDI. Basic models generally serve simple purposes, such as the identification of low levels of inhibition or induction of metabolizing enzymes by an investigational drug.
Static mechanistic models can account for the disposition characteristics of both the perpetrator and the probe substrate drugs (Fahmi, Hurst, et al. 2009). Dynamic mechanistic models, including PBPK models that integrate system-dependent parameters (e.g., based on human physiology) and drug-dependent parameters (Zhao, Zhang, et al. 2011) and their time course of changes, can support decisions on when and how to conduct a clinical DDI study. Furthermore, these models can quantitatively predict the magnitude of DDI in various clinical situations, such as in patients with renal impairment or patients with genetic deficiencies in certain metabolizing enzymes.”
Basic models to predict the effect of a drug as an enzyme modulator
“Evaluating a drug as a potential enzyme inhibitor or inducer begins with the use of a basic model, i.e., R1, R1,gut (only for CYP3A), and R2 (only for TDI) for inhibition effect; R3, fold of change, and correlation methods for induction.
The sponsor should compare the calculated R values or fold-change to the recommended cutoff criteria to determine whether it is possible to rule out the potential for a DDI. Sponsors may calibrate their internal in vitro systems with known perpetrators and non-perpetrators of an enzyme and propose specific cutoff values with proper justification. If the basic model does not rule out the potential for a DDI, the sponsor should further evaluate the DDI potential of the investigational drug by conducting additional modeling analyses, using static mechanistic models or PBPK models or by conducting an in vivo DDI study.”
Using static mechanistic models to predict the effect of a drug as an enzyme modulator
“Static mechanistic models incorporate more detailed drug disposition and drug interaction mechanisms for both interacting and substrate drugs (Fahmi, Hurst, et al. 2009). The following equation can be used to calculate the overall effect of the investigational drug on substrate drugs (represented as the AUCR [drug’s plasma exposure ratio]).
In addition to the combination of inhibition and induction, one should separately use inhibition mechanisms to predict a drug’s enzyme inhibition potential and use induction mechanisms to predict a drug’s enzyme induction potential. It should be noted that concurrent prediction may lead to a false negative prediction if the inhibition potential is over-predicted, thus masking the induction effect. If the induction potential is over-predicted, it will mask the inhibition effect.”
FDA 2020, “In Vitro Drug Interaction Studies — Cytochrome P450 Enzyme- and Transporter-Mediated Drug Interactions Guidance for Industry”
Our Basic Model-Based Prediction Capabilities
As part of follow-up to a contracted study or as a separate consulting project, our experts can use your CYP inhibitionCYP induction, and transporter inhibition study data to evaluate DDI potential. The goal of basic models is to calculate the ratio of a victim drug’s exposure (AUC) in the presence and absence of perpetrators (inhibitors or inducers) of a drug-drug interaction.
As a follow-up to positive results from an in vitro DDI study, our team can use your compound’s dose information, Cmax (or Imax) value (the maximum plasma concentration at steady state) and fu (fraction unbound) to provide you with the following calculations:
• R1 value for direct enzyme inhibition
• Rvalue for time-dependent inhibition
• Rvalue for enzyme induction
• R value for transporter inhibition ratios
AUC = area under the curve, denotes drug exposure
AUCR = area under the plasma concentration-time curve ratio
Cmax: total maximal concentration in plasma
EC50: concentration causing half maximal effect determined in vitro
Emax: maximum induction effect determined in vitro
fu,p: unbound fraction in plasma
IC50: half-maximal inhibitory concentration
Igut: intestinal luminal concentration estimated as dose/250 mL
Iin,max: estimated maximum plasma inhibitor concentration at the inlet to the liver
Imax / Imax, u: maximal unbound plasma concentration of the interacting drug at steady state
kdeg: apparent first-order degradation rate constant of the affected enzyme
Ki: inhibition constant
KI: inhibitor concentration causing half-maximal inactivation
kinact: maximal inactivation rate constant
kobs: observed (apparent first order) inactivation rate of the affected enzyme
R: ratio of victim AUC in the presence and absence of perpetrators (inhibitors or inducers), predicted with basic models
R1 Direct (Reversible) Inhibition
R1 = 1 + (Imax,u / Ki)
R1,gut = 1 + (Igut / Ki)
Potential to inhibit if R1 ≥ 1.02 / R1,gut ≥ 11
As a follow-up to an in vitro CYP inhibition study, a sponsor may choose to further investigate direct inhibition, using the IC50 value to calculate the Kvalue (or Ki can be experimentally determined), and then including unbound Imax (or Cmax) to find the R value for reversible inhibition (R1).
Further calculations by our experts can also provide insight to the critical Imax value, which denotes the threshold between a safe dose and one which could precipitate a drug-drug interaction via CYP inhibition.
R2 Time-Dependent Inhibition
R2 = (Kobs + kdeg) / kdeg
Potential to inhibit if R2 ≥ 1.25
To calculate the R value for time-dependent inhibition (R2), sponsors can choose to experimentally determine the KI, Kinact, and Kdeg values to demonstrate the effect of metabolism or time-dependent inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes. In these types of metabolism-dependent drug interaction, metabolites are likely the ones inhibiting the enzyme or it could be that there is a physical process such as binding to heme that could inhibit the enzyme. To determine risk of TDI, we can observe any inactivation of an enzyme by a drug candidate by using multiple drug concentrations and multiple preincubation time points.
R3 Induction
R3 = 1 / [1 + (d × (Emax − 1) × 10 × Imax,u) / (EC50 + (10 × Imax,u))]
If your in vitro CYP induction study indicates a positive result in any of the hepatocyte cultures tested, the Rcan be calculated as the next step in evaluating the DDI risk and determining whether or not a clinical DDI study is necessary. Calculated R3 value is compared to a cut-off value given in the Guidance to determine drug’s induction potential in vivo.
Further calculations by our experts can also provide insight to the critical Imax / Cmax value, which denotes the threshold between a safe dose and one which could precipitate a drug-drug interaction via CYP induction. The basic model calculation involves EC50 and Emax from the in vitro study and unbound Imax / Cmax values.
Prediction of transporter inhibition
To evaluate risk of transporter-mediated drug interaction, we can evaluate transporter DDI potential for each drug transporter. We can calculate the applicable ratios (R-value) that compare drug concentration in a pertinent location (e.g. intestinal lumen, hepatic inlet, etc.) to the IC50 which denotes how much drug is needed to inhibit each transporter. Different transporters have different cutoff values. Our experts can help the sponsors to ascertain the possible maximum IC50 value that will not precipitate DDI in vivo, which can impact drug dosing in the clinic.
Calculations and criteria for evaluation of inhibition of drug transporters:
TransporterRatioPotential to inhibit if
P-gpIgut / IC50Ratio ≥ 10
BCRPIgut / IC50Ratio ≥ 10
OATP1B11+((fu,p × Iin,max) / IC50Ratio ≥ 1.1
OATP1B31+((fu,p × Iin,max) / IC50Ratio ≥ 1.1
OAT1Imax,u / IC50Ratio ≥ 0.1
OAT3Imax,u / IC50Ratio ≥ 0.1
OCT2Imax,u / IC50Ratio ≥ 0.1
MATE1Imax,u / IC50Ratio ≥ 0.1
MATE2-KImax,u / IC50Ratio ≥ 0.1
Improve accuracy of calculations with Plasma Protein Binding (PPB) data
Each of these calculations take into account unbound drug concentrations; in absence of plasma protein binding (PPB) study results, our specialists will assume the most conservative estimates to comply with regulatory recommendations (100% unbound). For more accurate calculations, we recommend sponsors determine the drug’s binding affinity to a tenth of a percent. We conduct in vitro and in vivo (animal) PPB studies with three different method options (rapid equilibrium dialysis, ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration) to find out your compound’s fraction unbound (fu).
Our Static Mechanistic Modeling-Based Prediction Capabilities
“If the basic model does not rule out the potential for a DDI, the sponsor should further evaluate the DDI potential of the investigational drug by conducting additional modeling analyses, using static mechanistic models or PBPK models or by conducting an in vivo DDI study.” FDA 2020, “In Vitro Drug Interaction Studies — Cytochrome P450 Enzyme- and Transporter-Mediated Drug Interactions Guidance for Industry”
Following comparison of the respective R values to predefined cutoff values specified by regulatory guidance, the sponsor can further determine clinical DDI potential using the drug’s plasma exposure ratio, AUCR. Calculated using a static mechanistic model, the AUCR value can offer a more robust assessment of the drug’s risk by including more parameters. Additionally, in cases where a drug induces and inhibits the same enzyme, DDI risk may be reduced or dismissed altogether because the diametric actions compensate each other to lower net induction or inhibition effect of the drug.
Calculating AUCR
In accordance with the FDA-recommended conservative approach to evaluating drug safety parameters, the basic static models calculate R1, R2, or R3 utilizing the maximal unbound total systemic or luminal drug concentration and the experimentally derived in vitro constants (Ki, KI, Kinact, Emax, EC50) for the prediction of clinical inhibition or induction. Further, a more robust mechanistic static model (AUCR) integrates different DDI mechanisms using in vitro constants along with the following inputs to more accurately predict the effect on victim drug metabolism when administered with the perpetrator drug:
• Maximal unbound total systemic or luminal drug concentration
• Dose
• Fraction of metabolism of a victim drug
• Hepatic blood flow
• Enteric blood flow
• Fraction of absorption
• Hepatic inlet and enterocytic drug concentrations
• Extent of binding to plasma proteins
• Blood-to-plasma concentration ratio
The FDA has provided the formula to calculate the AUCR value, however, it can get complicated. When a sponsor contracts our experts as part of a follow-up to an in vitro DDI study or a separate consulting project, they can have confidence that the work will be done accurately, efficiently, and with our signature consultative approach to help you work through challenges and understand your data and what it means for your molecule moving forward.
After a sponsor has obtained the AUCR value, they can then compare it to critical values regulatory guidance documents have published. If the value exceeds the cutoff value, the drug developer should plan to investigate further using physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) modeling or an in vivo DDI study.
Follow the Molecule: An Example
To paint a picture of what the decision-making process looks like for DDI risk assessment of a small molecule drug, let’s consider a drug developer with Compound A, which is in the final laps of preclinical development and getting ready for the IND approval process.
The drug developer has contracted with us the FDA-recommended CYP inhibition and CYP induction studies with proper study design, and the results provide the sponsor with the drug’s inhibition value of IC50, and induction values of EC50 and Emax. The drug developer then provides us with some additional parameters to calculate the R1 and R3 ratios for each CYP enzyme.
The Rbasic model yields a value of 1.12 for CYP2D6 and 1.04 for CYP3A4/5, both of which exceed the 1.02 FDA-specified cutoff. The other enzymes evaluated are below the cutoff. The R3 calculation yields that only CYP3A4 and no other evaluated enzymes indicate possible induction (FDA mandates that if the R3 value from any of the three hepatocyte cultures is ≤ 0.8, then there is potential to induce).
The sponsor then should do separate AUCR calculations for inhibition of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 and induction of CYP3A4 and compare them to cutoff values. Additionally, we can do another calculation incorporating both induction and inhibition for CYP3A4 to find the net effect. If any of the AUCR values from a mechanistic static model exceeds cutoff values, PBPK modeling or a clinical drug-drug interaction study may be warranted.
PBPK Modeling and Simulation
If AUCR values from a mechanistic static model indicate that a drug may have potential to cause a DDI, there is one more check the drug developer can do before they must conduct a costly, time-intensive clinical DDI study. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models provide in silico experimentation implementing a growing reservoir of clinical drug metabolism and drug interaction data.
PBPK models use results from in vitro experiments and historical data to provide the most robust assessment of DDI risk short of a human study. Since our drug metabolism, drug transporter, and plasma protein binding data are commonly used in PBPK models, we make sure that data reports are accurate, reliable, and in the right format for use in follow-up models.

ExplainSpeaking: Why government’s Covid-19 relief package should come sooner rather than later
Coronavirus (COVID-19): In India, till now, it has been the RBI that has been at the forefront of shoring up the economy. But, central banks can only do so much.

Dear Readers,
Last week, in a response to a question about the role of the Fed (the central bank in the US) in the current crisis in comparison to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Alan Blinder, who was the vice-chairman of the Federal Reserve in the 90s, said something quite striking. “In the earlier crisis, unemployment followed financial ruin. First, we got financial ruin, and then later we got a terrible recession. This time we got massive unemployment upfront, and the Fed is preventing financial ruin,” said Blinder while speaking to The Wall Street Journal on May 1.
It is important to pause and mull over this reversal of sequencing because it applies equally to what is happening in India. The lakhs of migrant workers who are out on the streets have already lost their jobs even though their firms may not have met with financial ruin just yet. But if things don’t change, financial ruin will surely follow and the job losses will become permanent. That’s because there is a limit to how long India can continue with a lockdown before an obvious health crisis is severely compounded by a crushing economic reversal.
Also central to this debate is the question of the government’s role in alleviating distress. In India, till now, it has been the RBI that has been at the forefront of shoring up the economy. But as Blinder also pointed out, central banks can only do so much. “When it comes to large dollar amounts, the Fed knows what to do. But I don’t think the Fed is the right institution for lending to small businesses. The Fed is good at wholesale lending, but not so much at retail. That’s another illustration of the fact that you can’t look at the Fed to do everything”.
In other words, there are limits to what a central bank can do in any economy, and when it is the smallest firms that are hit, a central bank — no matter what it tries — is a relatively weaker agent of change. Central banks can provide liquidity to the banks — and provide it at lower interest rates — but banks, across the world and in India, are justifiably wary of lending on. That is not to take into account the severe hit in demand for loans anyway. Moreover, there are many sectors of the Indian economy, such as the beleaguered MSMEs, that largely depend on informal sources for their funding. RBI’s actions barely reach them.
So as India starts Lockdown 3.0, albeit with some relaxations, the main question facing the economy is: When will the government announce a relief package? That’s because, with each passing week, the economy is moving from job losses of individuals to the financial ruin of firms.
Some have questioned whether the Indian government has the fiscal leeway to borrow more. Others have reminded that asking the RBI to print money, since there isn’t enough money in the markets to lend to the government, will lead to inflation.
In the pre-Covid-19 world, all these arguments made sense. But the Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed the dynamics of the economy.
Under the current circumstances, if all agents in the economy acted rationally, the economy would collapse. That’s because banks will find it reasonable to hold back lending, consumers will delay spending, investors will dither from investing, business owners will fire employees and cut costs in an effort to survive. But in doing so, all of them will push the economy into a deeper mess.
The government, however, is the only agent in the economy that can bypass the rules of rationality. It can spend (and thus create demand) when it wants to even if doesn’t have any money because it can create money at will by asking the RBI to print it. But if the government does not provide a safety net to smaller firms, especially those that were running fine before the Covid-19 induced lockdowns ruined them, then the economic distress will continue to deepen and likely become insurmountable in the future.
Here’s hoping that the government’s relief package is only a question of when, and not if.
Take care and stay safe,
Udit Misra

5 Fall Living Room Decorating Ideas
by - Tuesday, September 17, 2019
Time to tuck away the seashell accessories and bring out all the cozy throws. Today, I'm thrilled to share more fall home decor inspiration with you as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour series hosted by Krista at The Happy Housie. If you've arrived here from Lindi and Russel's place at Love Create Celebrate, welcome! There are lots of blogger home tours to enjoy every day this week and I'm excited to show you my fall living room decorating ideas.

While I love refreshing my home for the season, fall can feel like a temporary stop before bigger and better (decorating) things happen. Halloween and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then everything Christmas takes hold. So when it comes to fall home decorating, I hesitate to go all out. Rather, I decorate for fall by focussing on creating just a few but undeniably sink-in-your seat cozy spots where we can really settle in.
In our home, there's no cozier place than in the living room. Here's our fall living room featuring decorating ideas that you can use to bring a feeling of fall to any space:
buffalo plaid chair, barrymore armchair, plaid ottoman, tonic living cube ottoman, blue desk, fern plant, Arthur velvet pillow, pom pom throw
1. Bring In Pattern And Colour
While summer is dominated by breezy blues, bright whites, and woven textures, fall is the time to go deep and lush with your fall home decor. Think saturated tones like moss green, browns, and creams. The Arthur pillow, part of my collaboration with Tonic Living, adds richness with its sepia velvet front, plaid piping, and beige linen backing.
Don't hesitate to mix patterns. In the image above, I spot 4 different plaids alone! Our buffalo plaid armchaircustom cube ottoman in Goodman Plaid fabric, and windowpane storage ottomans beneath the desk work because of a shared colour palette (blacks and creams) and because they're tempered by solid accessories like the black throw, pillow and ceramic vase.

2. Add Flowers, Plants and Branches
Fall marks the cusp of the changing seasons, when flowers give their last gasp of brilliant beautiful colour before they die away. Celebrate those fall colours by bringing them indoors.
To keep things easy, I mix fresh arrangements like this round vase of seasonal flowers on the side table, and a pitcher filled with faux leaves on the mantel. There's real plants scattered about the room too. You can tell which ones they are, because they're dying, ha! I have such a terrible green thumb.
If you've moved your summer plants indoors, make them more interesting by placing them in unique vases or planters. I love how this Pilea (who knew it was such a trendy plant?) looks in this bust vase.

3. Stack Objects and Give Them Prominence
One very simple way to make your old accessories feel new is to stack or elevate them. I find that stacking an object on books or boxes makes you notice the object more. It gives the object height and is a way to keep your objects contained in a small 'zone' so they don't feel too scattered. Here, a collection of seemingly unrelated objects - a small urn, basket, and beads - feel more cohesive when displayed on a stack of books.
Books often have lovely spines and covers too so don't be afraid to toss away the dust jacket! Book spines are another great way to bring in colour.

4. Accent with Gold and Brass
From the metal fireplace screen to the vintage framed prints and brass urn lamp, gold hued metals instantly add warmth to our fall living room decor. Not only does the colour remind me of maple trees and golden apples, it has a textural quality that other metals can't quite match.

I have gold accents that live in this room year round (like the writing desk, and glass coffee table) but amping it up and adding in more brass really creates that lived-in feel. Unique items like the brass wreath and the brass eagle on the coffee table, both found at antique stores, create a sense of history and time passing which is what I think of when I think of fall.

5. Give Objects Room To Breathe
Have you heard of the term negative space? It refers to the space around objects. I find decor is most appealing when there is a balance between space that is filled and space that is empty. Each makes you appreciate the other more.
This is especially obvious when you look at objects styled on a bookshelf. I played with these objects or a very very very long time but I think I finally got them arranged just right. There's a calmness and balance in this display which makes you relax just by looking at it.
Rearranging the furniture has a similar effect. The furniture was more spread out in our spring home tour, but for fall, I've created a cozier arrangement. Just bringing the plaid chair in from the corner and tucking the pedestal and bust planter behind it makes the room feel smaller and more conducive to conversation. The chair is also now closer to the fire which is not a bad thing!

These are Excel spreadsheets developed by NatalieK. It tutors you what words sound like.
Shma Quiz
This file is a zip of a self extracting zip of my “Shma Quiz Experiment” folder.
Extract it to the same folder on your C drive. (If you extract it anywhere else, the hyperlinks won’t work). The folder contains the whole Shma movie, and several one-word extracts. I didn’t have the time and energy to remove the complete shma file before zipping. You don’t need it to run the quiz. The folder also contains the quiz I have created from a spreadsheet containing a few of the words from the Shma. This sheet contains errors, but will show how the Excel application works.
If you click in column A and then click on one of the sort icons, the rows will shuffle. A beginner sill simply click in a hyperlink to hear the sound.
When she is confident about her reading, she might want to run the quiz in other ways.
If she wants to check that she can translate from English to Hebrew she would change the font colour to the background colour in the Hebrew column, and in the hyperlink column.
A click in a Hebrew cell will reveal the contents in the formula bar. A click in a hyperlink cell will, of course, play the file.
I can’t simulate the dynamic nature of Ben’s weighting, but in real life, I would put several copies of the difficult rows into a particular quiz.
I create Quiz sheets from a copy the master by creating a select column, putting a non zero character in that column for each row I want to include, and then sort/descending the copy. The desired rows appear in the top of the sheet and it is easy to paste them into a quiz sheet.
suggestion: you can also add images here
A major problem with transliterations is the use of the letter "a" to transcribe the kamatz and the patach. The verb meaning "he learned" is transcribed as "lamad". Most printed guides to pronunciation say that the sound of these vowels is like the "a" in "father". It is really far more like the short 'u' in "cup". If you say "lahmahd" and "lumud" out loud you will hear the difference. Listen carefully the movie of the Shema. In line 3 the speaker says v/u/HUV/tu, not v/ah/HAHV/tah. At the end of the word "shma" the vowel is lengthened, and does become more like the "ah" in "Father", but, if you are going to choose only one pronunciation for the kamatz and the patach then, choose the short 'u'; you will be correct most of the time.
suggestion: you can also type Hebrew here -
The segol is always pronounced like the short 'e' in "egg".
The chiriq (the single dot below a letter) is a short 'i'.
Both cholams and the kamatz katan are all pronounced rather like a short version of the vowel in "horse", "or" or even "all".
The remaining major sound is the short "oo" sound as in "Took" or "good" (not "tool" or "rule").
The final sound is the shva. If it occurs at the end of a syllable it has no sound at all. The rest of the time it is more like a very short pause or the vowels in "the" and "a" in the sentence "ThE cat sat on A mat". In the shma movie, because the speaker is talking so slowly the sound is exaggerated.
The best guide to pronunciation is to actually listen very carefully to the Shma movie and think about each word both before you listen to it, and after you have listened to it. You can use the space bar to toggle between play and pause so it is not difficult to listen to that movie one word at a time.
The movie does contain one deliberate mistake. In the first word on the third line the speaker says v'aHAVta, with the accent on the 2nd last syllable. This is how the word is pronounced in normal speech. In the bible, without the vav the word is also pronounced with the accent on the 2nd last syllable. However, within the context of this prayer the accent should really be on the 1st syllable i.e. v'ahavTA. The reasons are for this are complex and will be explained in an article on "Past, Future, And and Stress". However, as a guide on how to say to a man "You have done something", v'aHAVta will give you the correct stress pattern almost all the time.
A document giving a detailed guide to listening to the Shma movie will be posted shortly.

kenku 5e
Ways To Roleplay A Kenku 5e
A Kenku in 5e, is a race filled with questions on how to roleplay. The reason being, while a kenku is filled with roleplay potential, the roleplay given to them is difficult and confusing to do. Therefore, this post will be going over the lore behind the 5e kenku, as well as the best way to overcome the roleplay troubles in their lore.
I should also mention; I am testing out different ways to write the lore for a race. One I go into explicit detail for the race on abilities, history, and roleplay. As can be seen in my review on Tritons. In my other style though, I am working through how I would build a class with a certain race’s lore. As can be seen in my Firbolg Druid. So, let me know in the comments what you think, so I know which style to write these in from now on! Now, let’s start the review, shall we?
Kenku 5e Lore: The Beginnings
The first part I do when I plan to roleplay a character is to make the backstory or a voice for a character. To do this I use part of the lore behind the race to build it. Then what is the general lore for a kenku in 5e? The kenku are a race of flightless avian birds that were released by Wizard of the Coast in Volo’s Guide to Monsters that was used to allow players to play monster races. They supposedly use to serve a diving being. Many believe to be either Grazz’t or the wind dukes of Aaqa. However, their desire for an unidentified sparkling treasure, caused them to rebel against their master. Unfortunately, before they could harness the treasure their master found out.
It was said, he was so furious that he cursed the kenkus to have their entire race wings wither away so they could no longer fly. He was not finished though, afterward to ensure they could no longer attempt to become their own leader; he took away the spark of creativity from them. So, they could no longer be their own leaders. Finally, to finish it off he took away their voice so they cannot worship anyone. Then banished them to the material plane. The result led for the entire race to become dependent on repeating the actions of whoever they follow. This coupled with an indescribable longing to fly, led for a new beginning to their race.
Kenku 5e Lore: Cursed Anew
The curse and banishment took a serious toll on the race. Unimaginable suffering happened as they could no longer think for themselves. Rather they must follow what they have already seen and live like that.
So how did this affect them? Well, the race became even more obsessed with greed and viciousness. After all, how could they change and be good when the only thing they have seen was misery and greed. The cycle continued for ages for them as they began breaking off into their own flocks. Each followed the rules to the letter and any hint of betrayal dealt with severely and harshly.
Thanks to this lifestyle and ideology, the kenku in 5e became excellent rogues. Able to mimic anyone’s voice they had heard, able to copy any documents they have seen, and excellent thieves.
Kenku 5e Roleplay: Three Main Traits
It was thanks to this curse and the new lifestyle that developed three strong traits to roleplay in a kenku for 5e. The first one was a chaotic neutral alignment toward living. Meanwhile, the second one was an unsaturable desire to fly. While the third, and most popular, is to only mimic others.
Kenku Roleplay: Chaotic Neutral Downsides
Their new lifestyle not only altered how they live but also how they thought. Their once community like group altered them into a chaotic neutral alignment. Meaning the most important person is them self and they will gladly betray the flock if it is to save their skin. Now then how does this affect your roleplay?
Well, there are two big ways to play this up. One is to be selfish and mess with the party. Meaning at the end of the day you are focused only on yourself and will do anything to protect or better yourself. This has a few downsides to it though.
The most obvious being your party is going to hate you. If you only play for yourself, then everyone else is going to feel used and unwanted. This creates tension not just in your party, but also in your group as well. Meanwhile, the second big issue with this playstyle is it can pose a challenge for moving along the story. Often times, narrative plot points are lost on parties that are filled with people who see themselves outside of the rest.
For example, if you see someone being beaten up, if you only are in it for yourself, you are going to ignore them. However, if you see them as a part of your world, then you would probably get involved and find out why the DM put it there. This second point can be circumvented though by talking to your DM, as maybe they can work that into how they create their plot points. This way you can act selfish, but still, move the plot.
Kenku Roleplay: Chaotic Neutral Upside
So, then what is the other way to roleplay chaotic neutral kenku? Well, this is to be selfish toward your group. Since you can no longer be creative. You have become dependent on your group to show you new stuff for you to mimic. This created a sense of importance in your group, causing you to act for the group. Meaning, if your group is in danger you will do anything to protect the group even if it is evil.
What this allows, is to circumvent both of the downsides mentioned above. As now, your party won’t hate you for your actions as you now act in their best interest. Meanwhile, since you are acting in your parties’ best interest, you would help encourage acting with the world around you. Greatly, helping the DM, by giving you reasons to act in the scenarios he presents to you. It can also create some great moments as they see you sacrifice so much for them creating a deeper bond in your group as they come to appreciate your character more.
So, the decision is yours. Play selfishly for yourself or play selfishly for your group. Both are chaotic neutral and can be fun. That said, I would recommend playing for the group, as over the course of the campaign it allows for the strongest bonds to be made.
Kenku Roleplay: Flying
Now that you have an idea for how to play chaotic neutral, let’s take a look at flying. Just like mankind, ever since the kenku lost their wings, have been obsessed with the idea of flying. This gives you plenty of options to roleplay. Perhaps it is your whole reason you decided adventuring? Or maybe, knowing that you can never fly. Have deep greed to tear down anyone’s ability to fly. So, no one can know the joy.
This gives you two routes you can play; one being obsessed with the idea of flying yourself. While the other route is to be evil and destroy what you desire most. It can create some strong rp moments either way. For example, say you heard about a broom of flying. Do you now go on a journey willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of flight? Or do you go on the adventure get there and destroy it to prevent anyone else from having the freedom of flight. What it really boils down to, is this. Has your character seen uses for good? Or are they a character that has only seen hate.
Kenku Roleplay: Mimic
The best way to roleplay this without being a bummer to the party is to be an amplifier for your group. Don’t push it to the point where you become a trumpet blasting in everyone’s ear. But protect the party and go with the flow. After all, you cannot be creative meaning you must have someone else for you to mimic. So, mimic your party, if your paladin is being nice, then be nice, but if your warlock is being extra, be extra. Be a mimic that will do anything for the party even if it is not the best thing for others.
This goes back to the chaotic neutral section. Basically, you play for the group, which is the ultimate lifestyle for a kenku in 5e. Think about it, they started off serving a diving being. They then lost everything and are forced only to copy others. This creates a dependence on others for their survival. So, they must continue to forever serve others. Which makes mimicry the strongest roleplay potential and can be seen in every aspect of them.
Kenku Roleplay: Mimic Speech
Now comes the hardest part for most people to roleplay. Due to the fact that they cannot speak for themselves. They can only copy other people’s sentences. This left a lot open for a debate on how to roleplay them. Many thought it meant they had to repeat the sentences word for word. While others thought they could combine different words and sounds to form their sentences. Well, Jeremy Crawford, lead rule designer for Dnd, stated on Twitter that they effectively speak like Bumblebee from Transformers.
This takes care of the big problem many had, which was limiting their vocabulary to a few sentences. Then what are the roleplay abilities left of speech with this clarified? Well, lots actually! Let’s take a look at a few of them.
Kenku Roleplay: Mimic voices
The first way to roleplay is to try and talk in different voices. This can be lots of fun as now you try to mimic famous actors, random people, or your friends to make it fresh and new for roleplay. This, of course, comes with its own challenges.
Such as, you need to be able to do different voices. I know it is rather obvious, but it is true. Nothing can be more frustrating than having your party think you are doing a drunken dwarf voice when in actuality you are trying to do a Nordic barbarians voice. Trust me I know from experience.
That said, there are a few ways to overcome this challenge. One is to actually record people and use their voices to create your sentences. I actually saw a person do this once and use their computer to craft sentences with difference voices mixed into each sentence. It was really awesome to see, but it also took him forever to speak and prevented him from being able to act quickly on his feet.
The other way to circumvent this problem is to practice. This is great for any beginner with voices as it means you are given a fun challenge to roleplay all sorts of voices and improve your skills if you ever DM or have fun character ideas that you want to add flair too. Just be careful, sometimes it might feel like forever before you get a voice down. Just remember to keep trying at it and eventually you will have a unique skill not many have.
Kenku Roleplay: Line Quoting
Another way to roleplay the 5e kenku’s mimic trait is to quote lines from other people. This could be movie quotes or even catchphrases. This is my favorite way to roleplay a kenku for many reasons. One it is a lot of fun trying to voice Arnold Schwarzenegger saying “I’ll be back” after a great moment. And two, it becomes a lot of fun having awesome moments in the game be remembered for the rest of your life, by having your kenku quote those moments in similar times.
That said, there are still challenges toward this playstyle, the big one being you won’t always have moments where your lines make an exact match. This can cause lots of problems with miscommunication if you try to stick solely to your lines. Therefore, my suggestion for beating this problem would be to either come up with new lines and add them to the list or combine words from your phrases and build a new sentence that way. This way you can add new sentences to your kenku all the while staying in character too.
Kenku 5e: Backstory Creation
So now comes the part where I add an example and show you how I would begin planning out my kenku for 5e. Then how would I do that?
Simple, taking into account the Kenku backstory, I would try and work with another player that I trust to have me as their servant. In this sense, I would be a kenku rogue that owes the other player a great service for taking me in after my flock was destroyed.
Then to create a roleplay environment, I would then ask the other player, what would be 15 common lines to hear from his player. Afterward, I would come up with another 15 that I would hear from my expired flock. Once I have 30 general lines, I would begin working with that as my vocabulary and speech. After all, the most notable trait for a kenku to play with is the fact they can only mimic not speak on their own.
Once this is taken into account, the next point for roleplay I would take would be to get into a mindset of following. As we talked about above, I favor a mindset of selfish toward my group. This said, to mix things up I will make him selfish to himself. To roleplay this, I would focus on one aspect he is selfish on to not be a complete jerk. So, I would do potions and tie it into his backstory as an alchemist. This way he collects and is greedy to get any potion he can find but isn’t extremely detrimental to the party. Finally, I would make him obsessed with the idea of flying and pursue it. The reason being the adventurer I am a servant to save me so now I repay that kindness that way.
Kenku 5e: Summary
What did you think of the kenku in 5e? It seems to be a great class with a few problems. However, if done right, they can make an exceptionally well character that amplifies any group by playing out their chaotic neutral background, longing to fly, and mimic speech. I hope you enjoyed and if so let me know. Or if you liked my tips on how to enhance your group with this race, then check out my guide on being a great player. It is filled with details and stories that I have gained over my years of playing that help any player be exceptional in their group. I hope the day is fantastic and full of fun with your new kenku character. Keep on rolling!

1. After these projects come to fruition, there are investors that feel they missed out on a sure thing and they fomo. The taoists call this “going all in at 4”.
2. What a dumb article. Reads like a kids school project.
3. Pump up to 3$ then 5$
4. Didnt read, not selling.
5. Take this article down immediately, or there will be consequences.
1. A $4 link bag holder has been spotted lmfao fucking cuck
7. Sirs this is bed fud you fuck your motherfucker ok
8. This article is so bad. It sounds like you just copied all your FUD from biz without really knowing anything about the tech or the project.
9. have sex incel
10. Very miss leading FUD piece. He starts off saying ” $600 million worth of paper value Link tokens have vanished”. This is not true. The project has sold only 30 million USD more worth of tokens, a very small responsible amount. the coin has a market cap of nearly a billion and the DEV crew has sold only 30 million, not much.
The article then tries to belittle the value of oracles and Chainlink, “appears to be mainly kind of a template, or middleware as they call it,”
well you could say the invention of the airplane is just a metal box that flies, or the internet is just cables connecting each other as well.
Lastly the author does not state weather or not he is short or long chainlink (no disclaimer), which I think its clear he and his buddies have shorts opened, and then when they want to go long out will come the “Chainlink is awesome article”
When you see articles like this it means buy, buy, buy, if they need FUD to help move the price down, your in the right coin!
11. meanwhile the link selloff continues as weary chainlink bagholders trudge through the land of empty dreams and promises leaving a trail of lost money and opportunities behind. Occasionally on this trail of tears a figure can be seen weaving off weak with a skeleton bent from the weight of link bags and collapses, raising their finger in their dying moment to press the sell button. The others trudge on past the corpse of the once proud linky too lost in pain and fatigue to even notice the corpse. No conference now. No hope. Only death and bags. Death march of the linkmarines lead by general wojack.
12. If Rory’s comment hasn’t made it clear, just know, you can’t dodge the Hodge.
13. The article is spot on. Chainlink unraveled in a way that was more scammy than some of the most famous crypto exit scams since 2014, like Confido, Prodeum and VeChain.
Honestly, withholding 70% of the entire premine with no obligations or performance holdbacks? What were you people thinking buying this? The absolute state of crypto “investors”…
1. Ripple held back 70% of the premine and only years later did they promise (and deliver) to lock up the coins in a smart contract (at that point ripple pumped), ripple is a top coin now. From what I can see ( I am in Link ) link is selling the coins in a responsible and normal fashion, only 30 million dollars out of 1 billion has been sold.
I bought in at 2 dollars after the big pump and have enjoyed pumps to 2.70 several times. If you bought the top your an idiot , its not the DEV teams fault, its yours, HODL your coins and ignore FUD like this.
1. Ripple is hardly the example of a responsible project lol
14. Its over…
16. Welcome 4channers. This is open comments space (totes anon if you wants), bit like your chan but ples decorum. No you know… gud boy appearance, not the other one cus we no like delete comments and we do cans delet any we likes so.
17. /biz reporting in. I fucking kek’d too hard on this
18. Very interesting article. I will definately keep that in mind.
20. anyone still holding is a clown honk
21. Ting, ting… ahem i have an announcement to make, if you would just gather round…
22. “Meaning there may have been some shenanigans here, with the project itself called by some as a Json Parser.”
1. I was thinking that this one was a joke but in hindsight it was way more obvious than my low IQ could handle.
23. i think this jason parser guy might have killed epstein. i’m not sure but-
oh god. hillary clinton just flew over my house in a helicopter. someone please send help.
24. You are a filthy gentile not worthy of caressing my feet. You’ll never make it.
25. How do I get a refund of my time for reading this joke of an article?
1. You apply at the call centre.
26. Suckers, I sold pretty close to the top…bought another house….thanks chainlink….next stop XRP THE STANDARD.
So the coin doesn’t do something it was never designed to do? Ok.
28. SEC need to investigate this one for sure. This is not acceptable in any way!

MPs shot as protesters storm Libya's parliament
Two members of Libya's interim parliament were shot and wounded by protesters who stormed the General National Congress in downtown Tripoli on Sunday, officials and witnesses said.
The GNC, elected after the 2011 armed uprising that toppled autocratic leader Moamer Kadhafi, has stirred popular anger by extending its mandate from early February until the end of December.
Under pressure from demonstrators, the Congress, Libya's highest political authority, has announced that early elections will be held but without setting a date.
And on Sunday dozens of them entered the General National Congress, with some of them rampaging through the building, witnesses said.
The protesters demanded the dissolution of the GNC and railed against the "kidnapping" overnight of demonstrators from a sit-in outside the parliament building.
Media outlets said congressman Abdelrahman al-Swihli had been hit by a bullet while trying to flee the scene, but this could not be confirmed.
"Two (GNC) members were hit by bullets when they tried to leave the venue in their cars," Nuri Abu Sahmein, the speaker, told Al-Nabaa, blaming "armed protesters" for the shooting.
Earlier protesters said gunmen had broken up the sit-in on Saturday night before detaining some of them, without being able to give a figure.
"Armed men came firing in the air and they set fire to a tent set up by demonstrators" in front of the GNC, said protester Milad al-Arbi.
On Sunday, residents blocked roads in the area to demand the release of those held, an AFP photographer said.
It prompted the justice ministry to issue a brief statement denouncing the abduction "of youths who were expressing their views".
Criminals roam the streets, and rival tribes shoot it out to settle long-standing disputes.
Officials and even a US ambassador have been killed in a wave of lawlessness that has grown since Kadhafi was captured and killed in October 2011.
And on Sunday gunmen shot dead a French engineer in Benghazi, cradle of the uprising, who worked for a company doing extensive work at a medical centre in the eastern city.

The screen is the most important part of your smartphone, and serves as both display and interface. Over the past decade or so, we’ve been inundated with selling points like Retina Display, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K. The latest buzzword for screens is high dynamic range or HDR, and the latest flagship phones tout it as a must-have spec.
But what is HDR in the first place?
More colors, more brightness
Put simply, HDR lets your display exhibit a far wider range of colors. How? First, whites are whiter, and blacks are blacker. The screen does this by being much brighter than what you’re normally used to, to the tune of 1,000 nits (a unit used for display brightness). By comparison, your old flagship phone probably topped out at around 500 nits. An HDR display can also illuminate or darken specific areas of the screen, whereas a non-HDR display commonly lights the entire screen evenly.
Second is wide color gamut, or WCG. This feature increases both the color palette (the number of colors available and the bit depth (or the number of shades of those colors). Your old phone could display nearly 17 million colors. By contrast, an HDR display can show over a billion, which is much closer to what you can see in real life. When working in tandem, these two processes enable the screen to show a range of colors that are more akin to real life. This is why people who have seen an HDR display liken it to looking out a window.
But there lies the problem. The most difficult issue with conveying what HDR is exactly is that if you don’t actually have access to an HDR-capable display, it’s impossible to show the difference. Conversely, if you have an HDR display and a non-HDR display side by side, the improvements are instantly evident. This technology represents a generational leap, much like the jump from black-and-white to color, or standard definition to high definition.
A feature by any other name
You’ve probably heard the abbreviation “HDR” before as a vaunted feature for smartphones even before it was used for displays. Another source of confusion is that HDR also applies to another selling point for phones: the HDR feature of a camera. In camera HDR, the camera takes many exposures of the same scene and combines them, thereby showing all of the subtle steps in highlights and shadows.
The principle between HDR displays and photography remains roughly the same, with the end result being an image that has higher contrast and more colors. Crushed blacks and blown-out whites are also eliminated as a result. This is where the phrase “high dynamic range” comes in, representing the difference between the darkest parts of an image with the lightest.
Which gadgets have HDR?
All of this year’s important flagship phones have HDR-enabled displays, including the LG G6 and the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. However, these phones appear to be using different standards for what constitutes HDR — the LG G6 uses both the open HDR10 standard and proprietary Dolby Vision, and Sony’s 4K phone appears to be using its own definition of HDR.
Hopefully, HDR specifications normalize in subsequent generations of phones. You wouldn’t want to get a phone with HDR to find out that your HDR content won’t even display properly on it. Thankfully, at this year’s Mobile World Congress, the Ultra HD Alliance announced Mobile HDR Premium, which is an HDR standard specifically developed for smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, two of the best phones of 2017, were the first pair to adhere to this certification.
Here are the specifics of Mobile HDR Premium for a wide variety of portable devices:
Device Resolution Dynamic Range Color Space Bit Depth
Smartphones (3- to 7-inch screens) 60 pixels/degree .0005-540 nits 90% of P3 Color gamut 10
Tablets (7- to 12.9-inch screens) 60 pixels/degree .0005-540 nits 90% of P3 Color gamut 10
Laptops (9.5- to 18-inch screens) 60 pixels/degree .0005-540 nits or 0.1-600 nits 90% of P3 Color gamut 10
Why do you need HDR?
If you’re after the top-end phones, you’ll find it increasingly difficult to avoid HDR. The benefits that a more accurate display brings is most useful if you’ll be doing image work on your phone, like quickly editing photos on VSCO before sharing it to the ether. But its advantages will also be immediately noticeable if you consume content on your phone (like most people do). More and more media providers are putting out HDR content —YouTube, for one, has had HDR support since last year, and both Netflix and Amazon Video have it as well.
And with diminishing returns in terms of resolution on a five- to six-inch screen (do you really need 4K on a screen as big as your palm?), HDR is one display buzzword that is instantly apparent. Plus, unlike a 4K screen that eats batteries for breakfast, HDR on your phone can actually extend your phone’s longevity; the dynamic and selective adjustment of brightness, depending on what’s shown, should increase your screen-on time by a significant amount.

At least on that score, they succeeded.
"The connections I made on that bus are ones I plan to take back to Sarasota, to really inspire our community," said Nickel-de la O, a partner in local advertising and public relations firm Nickel Communications.
"This region is so unaware of what's happening in these kind of startup ventures," she added. "There are so many businesses here that are hungry to work with each other, we just need to create an environment that will help foster that."
Nickel-de la O and Elasmar, a freelance graphic design artist, were invited to attend the festival -- SXSW for the initiated -- by way of the Startup Bus, a Silicon Valley-inspired program that brings together coders, marketers and designers whose passion for innovation trumps spending days on a bus filled with laptops, cellphones and miles of electric wires.
Along the way, they must come up with a business idea, launch it and promote it across social media platforms. The trip culminates in a pitch session before a panel of judges for a spot in San Francisco's Startup House, a so-called "hacker hostel" that helps budding business owners get established.
"The format is similar to a hackathon, where they put people in a room and ideas just start flowing," said Elsamar, who had been to a few similar events previously but was invited to ride the bus for the first time this year.
"We want smart and motivated creative people, not just someone looking for a quirky way to get to SXSW," said Mitch Neff, Startup Bus' spokesman.
Elasmar snagged his invitation the new-fashioned way -- through Twitter.
"The Tampa Bay area, including Sarasota, is becoming quite the innovative tech hub," he said. "The right people are beginning to gravitate to this area."
"It was cool to see, that young people in every city want to create new things and have big ideas," Elasmar said.
"Friends and connections"
"Storedrobe" is an app that allows users to track their wardrobe, match it to future purchases and even get advice from style mavens.
"We broke up the work and focused on our own strengths to get it all done," Nickel-de la O said. "We started calling all of the people we knew to help us."
"The feedback was great, and I still think this is an idea that can take off," she said. "But the friends and connections I made have the potential for even more."
"The startups that do well in an event like this are the ones that are social and really appeal to younger people," said Elasmar. "It's just the nature of the atmosphere."
Elasmar had developed the app "meetr," prior to the bus event, to calculate how much money companies or individuals spend or waste in meetings, so he was familiar with startups.
"We learned how to create a good pitch, how to approach investors, how to support your profitability and how to do research," Elasmar said. "As a designer, I have a lot of ideas, but it's good to know all of these ends of the business, too."
Jesse Biter, a Sarasota software entrepreneur, venture capitalist and burgeoning real estate investor, believes the Startup Bus will be occupied by even more Sarasotans next year -- and that eventually, tech firms will make a lasting imprint on the region.
"Sarasota has the potential to be something more than just a center for the arts," Biter said. "It could support startups who will keep money in the local economy year-round, not just seasonally. We live in such a nice place. There's no real reason why Sarasota can't attract younger people and new business."

Aim higher, reach further.
Why Some Smartphone Games Are So Addictive
Illustration by Zohar Lazar for The Wall Street Journal
What exactly makes them so compelling? This has been the subject of a great deal of analysis and research by game makers and academics alike. While theories abound, most agree that each time you clear away a pattern of dots or knock down a porcine encampment, your brain releases a little dopamine rush—a surge of pleasure sufficient to make you want to do it again.
Below, four impossible-to-resist features that experts say your brain is hard-wired to want more of, and new titles that you'll love to hate to play.
AXIOM OF IRRESISTIBILITY: We're suckers for a face
Three Secrets of 'Threes!'
What makes this new hit game impossible to put down? Its creator, Asher Vollmer, explains how he transformed what looks like a grade-school math work sheet into a chart-topping title
Give a carrot facial expressions and strange things happen. "When something has a face, we find it much harder to give up, or get rid of. We are sort of hard wired into that," said Karen Collins, a professor at the Games Institute of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. "We know logically that these things are not real, but there is still an emotional connection there. In 'Farm Heroes,' something in our brains says, 'We can't just abandon these little farm vegetables!' " Cute voices work, too. Think of the "whee!" an Angry Bird makes as it's launched from a slingshot. "I don't think 'Angry Birds' would have been as successful had it not been so well anthropomorphized," said Charles Mauro, a human-factors engineer who has written extensively about smartphone games. The anthropomorphization "creates a secondary level of interest on the part of the user, probably at the preconscious level."
Your New Addiction: In "Machinarium Pocket Edition" ($3, available for iOS), the bug-eyed junkyard robot will elicit the same affection you felt for the Pixar character WALL-E. You'll obsessively help him navigate a dystopian landscape to rescue his girlfriend, Berta.
AXIOM OF IRRESISTIBILITY: Finding patterns is fun
When you spot a block of identically hued shapes clustered in an otherwise random field of colored elements—whether the pastel circles of "Dots" or the glittery gemstones of "Bejeweled"—it's essentially the modern-day equivalent of spotting a clutch of berries hidden in a bush. According to Mr. Mauro, humans have evolved to process patterns in an environment before they notice specific details, and these games tap into that. Judy Willis, a neurologist who specializes in the neuroscience of learning, said that we derive pleasure not only from finding patterns but from seeing the possibility of patterns. In "Candy Crush Saga," for example, two pink candies next to each other don't form a pattern, but they are close enough together to make you predict (or hope for) the presence of a third, in an adjacent space. If one is there, the result is pleasure. "Pattern seeking is all about making good predictions," said Dr. Willis. "The videogame that's going to get the most repetitious play is the one that has frequent opportunities to make predictions and get immediate feedback."
Your New Addiction: Instead of jewels or colorful dots, "Threes!" ($2, available for iOS) has numbers, arrayed on a grid, that you rejigger and merge. As the numbers go up, so do those dopamine levels.
AXIOM OF IRRESISTIBILITY: We love honing our skills—even silly ones
To quote Samuel Beckett, "Try again. Fail again. Fail better." If a game is too easy to master, you'll quickly lose interest. If it's too hard, you'll give up prematurely. The most engaging ones let you fail better with each turn—satisfying the deep desire we all have to improve at a skill. Take "Angry Birds." When you launch a bird into the air, it leaves a dotted trail in its path—a marker that you can use to fine-tune your aim on the next turn. According to Mr. Mauro, that trail is essential to the game's success. "[It] lets you say, 'I want to go on to the next try here, because I learned something from the previous try.' " That not-too-hard, not-too-easy sweet spot is what Dr. Willis calls "achievable challenge." While we like to think it's self-determination that makes us want to top ourselves, there's more to it, said Dr. Willis: Succeeding at a challenge—no matter how small—triggers a dopamine boost.
Your New Addiction: The puzzles in "The Room Two" ($3, available for Android and iOS) get trickier as you progress—but carefully calibrated hints ensure that each puzzle remains an "achievable challenge."
AXIOM OF IRRESISTIBILITY: We enjoy exploring digital worlds that mimic the real one
From the first time you pushed a bowl of Cheerios off your high chair, you understood physics. And you come to every digital game with that basic understanding of the world in mind. "It's much easier for people to connect with a piece of software when they feel like it's closer to the real world than the digital one," said Asher Vollmer, creator of the game "Threes!" and former designer at thatgamecompany. Mr. Mauro agreed. "When a familiar behavior is accurately mimicked digitally, like the pullback of a slingshot in 'Angry Birds,' " he said, "in 15 seconds, players have a basic mental model of the mechanics of the game." The games that best mimic the physical world aren't just more fun, they're easier to learn, making it less likely you'll delete it in frustration.
Your New Addiction: You'll immediately understand the rules of "Cut the Rope: Time Travel" (Free, available for Android and iOS) even if you've never played earlier versions in this popular series. Cut the ropes to feed a cute green monster the candy that's hung by evermore complex rigging.

6. Dow Theory: Volume Must Confirm The Trend

8. Dow Theory: Dow Theory Specifics
9. Dow Theory: Current Relevance
10. Dow Theory: Conclusion
By Chad Langager and Casey Murphy, senior analyst of ChartAdvisor.com
There is little doubt that Dow theory is of major importance in the history of technical analysis. Many of its tenets and ideas are the basis of much of what we know today. Aspects of Dow theory are also incorporated into other theories, such as Elliott Wave theory. (To learn about this concept, see Elliott Wave Theory and Elliott Wave In The 21st Century.)
However, since its original adaptation and subsequent updates, its relevance as a stand-alone analytical technique has weakened. The reason for this has been the advent of more advanced techniques and tools, which in part build off of Dow theory, but greatly expand upon it.
One of the bigger problems with the theory is that followers can miss out on large gains due to the conservative nature of a trend-reversal signal. As we mentioned previously, a signal is confirmed when there is an end to successive highs (uptrend) or lows (downtrend). However, what often happens is that by the time the market has shown a clear sign of reversal, the market has already generated a large gain.
Another problem with Dow theory is that over time, the economy - and the indexes originally used by Dow - has changed. Consequently, the link between them has weakened. For example, the industrial and transportation sectors of the economy are no longer the dominant parts. Technology, for example, now takes up a considerable portion of economic production and growth.
This is important because the basis for watching the indexes is that they are the leading indicators of business conditions. The economy has clearly become more segmented, requiring the analysis of more indexes, which could greatly reduce the accuracy and timeliness of Dow theory analysis. Imagine having to look at six indexes while still adhering to Tenet #4: Indexes Must Confirm Each Other.
Even though there are weaknesses in Dow theory, it will always be important to technical analysis. The ideas of trending markets and peak-and-trough analysis are found constantly within technical writings and ideas. Also of importance in Dow theory is the idea of emotions in the marketplace, which remains a characteristic of market trends.
Charles Dow and Dow theory helped investors improve their understanding of the markets so that they could maker better investments and achieve investment success.

Who would have thought that tartan would once again feature as part of a global and political debate, but this time as a force fighting for global change. Changes to trends that are damaging our planet and changes to mindsets, all of which lead you to wearing your values with integrity. It is a very thought provoking statement if you ask yourself, am I wearing my values?.
Can you answer that question?
We are all living in the moment of a massive sustainable conversation, where no culture, community or country is not included in this. This is because we all have that one thing in common, one home, planet earth. Unlike most things in life a plan B can always be your fall back, but for this, there simply is no Planet B and it’s a hefty price to pay for another cheap t-shirt or an expensive coat where the brand does not openly share where the garment is made perhaps? I am no expert in the sustainable textiles world but as the founder of Prickly Thistle I have become an expert in-training, making sure I know that what we do and plan to do as a tartan textiles design, weaving and product manufacture business all the way up in the Scottish Highlands is as sustainable as I can make it, we have a responsibility. The reason I say I am in training is that the moment you think you know everything about any subject you don’t, as its the trainee who always remembers to ask the questions of who, why, what, where and how. Tartan has a role to play in the sustainable fabric of the planet debate, and this time round we at Prickly Thistle look back to the methods of our ancestors and learn from what they did right in the argument for respecting the planet. It is with great pride I am pushing this forward, where natural native raw materials combined with simple but highly creative processes result in garments and fabrics that will last lifetimes. When it comes to Scottish textiles in particular, this was once a vibrant industry but desires to chase the cheap needle, leading to perhaps less than favourable working conditions, or maybe lack of investment in people, plant and creativity and dare I say a compromise on the value of tartan design itself – the industry in Scotland was no longer sustainable at that scale in every sense.
Our way of thinking, our solution, is to change the future you must disrupt the past. How do we do that? When you realise we are all creating the past in every passing second, find your passion now, find your purpose now, disrupt what you can to support these now, follow your instinct now, and then you realise you can change the future and disrupt the past.
What we do now will have you reading this article for the next two weeks, but one of the most important sustainable decisions we made was rescuing some of the last remaining 100 year old shuttle looms in the country made from cast iron. They are digital free, they are works of art, they need a weaver to operate them and with the respect they deserve they will last forever. They are not as fast as the modern high tech versions used by most fabric producers, but that is the only major difference – and given the urgent need to restore a sustainable interaction with the planet, one of the simplest ways to do this is consume less. Therefore what was considered a major negative of being slower is actually the most powerful positive, we make less and you love more.
Consumption has lead to excess, excess has lead to waste and waste is destroying our planet.The textiles industry globally creates to billions of tonnes of waste each year, where the UK is one of the worst. Cheap garments are loved less and often discarded to landfill having never been worn.
Can tartan lead the charge in the fight for sustainable fabric and fashion? We may have only just got started, but I think we are on the right track – are you?
What we need you to do is keep asking the who, why, what, where and how,
You control the demand,
Your demand drives the industries,
Industries often control governments,
It is you who can help mend the sustainable fabric of the planet, wear your values.

Some of ERISA’s health-based amendments
On Behalf of | Feb 1, 2019 | Uncategorized |
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) offers guidance on how private employers should administer employee benefit plans. Since the law was signed in 1974, there have been several amendments that address health care.
Here are some of them.
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
COBRA was enacted in 1985 and allowed employees who lost their jobs to retain healthcare coverage. The coverage would be paid by the former employee and wouldn’t be available to an employee who was fired for “gross misconduct” or resigned.
The coverage is available to the employee for 18 months after termination and up to 36 months for the employee’s spouse and child.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA was enacted in 1996 and aimed to make healthcare coverage more secure, especially for pre-existing conditions.
The law requires employers to cover pre-existing conditions if they were treated six months prior to enrolling in the new plan. Before HIPAA, the time frame was 12 months. Since 2014, Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) eliminated pre-existing conditions.
Newborns and Mothers Health Protection Act
Also enacted in 1996, the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act was aimed at negating the “drive-through birth” practice and changed the amount of time a mother and newborn are allowed to stay in the hospital.
The law requires insurance companies to pay for at least a 48-hour hospital stay after a vaginal birth and 96 hours after a caesarean section.
Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
Signed into law in 2008, the law requires insurance plans treat mental illness and addiction as they treat other medical issues.
The law applies to companies that employ 50 or more workers and does not require medical plans to offer mental illness benefits, but if they do, they have to be in parity with the other offered plans.
Womens Health and Cancer Rights Act
The law, enacted in 1998, requires health plans that offer coverage for mastectomies to also offer breast reconstructive surgery

Sherman's Food Adventures: Insadong
This was a rare Friday that there was no hockey game scheduled. Therefore, Polka King, Milhouse, Boss Woman, Viv and I took advantage of this and went to see the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace tonight. I'm a sucker for movie theatre popcorn, even thought it costs you as much as a real meal. I'm sure it costs them less than $1.00 for the $12.00 combo. But here I am, doing my part in driving the economy. It's funny how I try to finish the whole bag of popcorn before the movie starts so I can get a free refill. It's plain insanity! There was so much butter on the popcorn, I think every popped kernal just slide down my throat. The movie itself was not too bad; but really short, I think it was only 1.5 hours long. Despite downing a large buttered popcorn and a large ice tea, I was ready to tackle dinner. We had a decision to either go for some Pho or some Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ won. We went to Insadong, a truly authentic Korean restaurant, complete with chime button on your table (to alert staff you want service).
We ordered the dinner for 5, which was $80.00. It included a delicious Seafood Salad which consisted of spring mix with scallops, jellyfish, squid and smoked salmon. Of course with most Korean restaurants, we were supplied with Banchan (complimentary appetizers), kimchi, pickled daikon, bean sprouts, stewed potatoes and spicy cucumber. The waitress was nice enough to bring double the portion of these appetizers since we had 5 people. The banchan was pretty standard, neither being usually good or bad. Next, we had a Radish Roll that resembled a sushi roll, except it was filled with pickled radishes wrapped with thin slices of radish. I didn't care for it too much, it was quite bland, although it was quite crunchy. A hot bowl of seafood tofu soup came next that had whole prawns in the shell and veggies. The broth was lightly flavoured with broken pieces of tofu (it was quite soft). There was a choice of soup, we could've ordered the soybean soup instead. I've had that before, but I prefer the tofu soup. For the next course, we had a choice of the Japchae (stir-fried potato starch noodles) or Seafood Pancake. We choose the pancake, but we also ordered a japchae anyways, since we like both. The seafood pancake resembles more of an omelete with seafood in it. Surprising it was not as oily as other Korean restaurants; but then again, it's still quite relatively oily. Usually, underneath the pancake on the cast iron plate, there are pools of oil resembling a Pizza Hut deep dish pizza pan. There was no shortage of seafood within the soft pancake with the exterior cooked up crispy (from all that oil!).
The Japchae, much like other Korean restaurants, arrived on a really large platter. Obviously this is a dish for sharing. Mind you, I'm sure someone has tried to eat it all by themselves before. Once, I saw someone eating a whole Lobster with Cream Sauce at Victoria Restaurant (it was a tourist, no one in their right mind would try to do that). There was plenty of beef, peppers, onions, wood ear mushrooms, carrots, zucchini and button mushrooms nestled within the soft; yet chewy noodles. I'd only wish that there wasn't a pool of sauce at the bottom of the plate. It made the noodles a bit slimy. We also got a Stone Bowl Bibimbap. Sizzling hot, the rice was topped with plenty of veggies and accompanied by the usual hot sauce. The main course consisted of a traditional Korean BBQ that came with most of the standard meats, Kalbi (beef short ribs), Bulgogi (beef), chicken, and spicy pork. In addition, we got prawns, oysters and mussels. The waitress was going to cook it for us, but we ended up doing it ourselves. The meats are quite fresh and of high quality. The kalbi had really good marbling and when cooked, was tender. I particularly liked that hte meats were not over marinaded. Every time the grill got a bit dark looking, the wait staff came and replaced it with a new grilling surface. That was good since cooking the meat on the burnt surface didn't seem appetizing. Rice and lettuce was also included in the meal. The traditional method of eating Korean BBQ is to put some rice, meat, bean paste, sliced raw garlic (make sure you slightly grill these first) and peppers in a lettuce wrap.
Although the service was very attentive and quick, it is wildly inconsistent visit-to-visit at Insadong. When it gets busy, you might be hard pressed to get quick service, even with the service button at your table. One time, we kept pressing the button and no one every came to check on us. I must've pressed the button 5 times in a row. Mind you, that was probably a bit annoying and thus maybe that is why they never showed up. But it's unacceptable to wait more than 5 minutes for someone to come by, especially when you have asked for service via the button. Otherwise, why have the button? Unless it's some twisted Pavlovian experiemnt on hidden camera! They really, really need more staff. They try, but there is no way they can cover such a big and busy restaurant. However, the food is very good and the portions are generous. Furthermore, the food tastes like it should be. Personally, I think it is one of the best authentic Korean restaurants in the lower mainland.
The Good:
- Moderately priced
- Generous portions
- Comfortable environment
- Authentic
The Bad:
- Inconsistent service or more like no service
- Lack of parking, you'll never find a parking space!
- Be prepared to wait for a table (which is a positive too, since it means it's good)

It seems that I had been there twice in 2007 & 2008. And I even ordered the seafood pancake. Can't recall if there were any seafood in it, but it looked o.k.
Here is the pancake photo to prove that I was there on Dec 20, 2007. LOL
Sherman said...
LOL, you take pictures of your food too! Love it... Yah, if you look at my photo of the pancake, you can actually see, squid and shrimp. Not a usual occurrence in any Korean restaurant. Some only have that crappy imitation crab and they call that seafood!

Sertraline dogs

Sertraline dogs
Why do some dogs fall apart at the mere mention of going to the “v-e-t” while others bound through the door without a care in the world? Does your dog take them in (for their dogs, of course). Sedatives can play a role in helping dogs relax, but the drugs are often misused. Let’s look at the common types of sedatives that are given to dogs, how they work, and which are best under various circumstances. Anxiety—that feeling of nervousness, unease, or apprehension that we’re all familiar with—is at the heart of most behavioral problems in dogs. Sometimes anxiety is perfectly normal, but it becomes a problem when it is severe or frequent enough to have an adverse effect on the dog’s or owner’s quality of life. If your dog is anxious, you might notice some combination of the following symptoms: Behavioral modification is the best way to treat anxiety in dogs. These protocols typically involve teaching dogs to remain calm when they are exposed to mild versions of their triggers, rewarding them, and gradually increasing the intensity of their exposure as long as they remain calm. However, it can sometimes be difficult for dogs to remain calm with even the mildest of triggers. Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. Therefore, it is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition. Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed. Show More Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living.

Find patient medical information for Zoloft Oral on WebMD including its uses, side effects and safety, interactions, pictures, warnings and user ratings.
Zoloft (sertraline) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Although it is most commonly used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Zoloft is sometimes prescribed for social phobia and other phobias. Learn how it works, possible side effects, and precautions. SSRIs are known as second-generation antidepressants since they are newer than monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). SSRIs work by slowing the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical neurotransmitter, which transmits electrical impulses from one neuron to the next. Normally, serotonin is quickly reabsorbed, but an SSRI lets the serotonin remain in the synaptic gap between neurons for a longer period of time. HI graceann, Dogs can take zoloft but before giving a medication such as this you should speak to your vet as there are side effects and this medicine may react to other medications. Some dogs may have allergies to the drug and you don't want to cause harm to the dog. An allergic reaction can be serious where it affects the breathing. Having this happen on a Sunday when the vets are closed would be risky to say the least.

Commentary: Trans military ban will limit opportunities
On July 26, at 9:04 a.m., President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that transgender individuals would no longer be allowed to serve in any capacity in the US military. Naturally, this caused an uproar among many activist groups, the queer community, and even officers from all branches of the US military.
It’s pretty easy to see why so many people were upset and hurt by this announcement. It’s a decision based on ignorance and bigotry and was made with little to no consideration for the nearly 7,000 transgender troops currently serving in the US military. Unfortunately, not everyone sees what the big deal is about. This is mostly due to lack of education but that’s a whole other story that I won’t get into now. For now, let’s talk about the personal attack our so-called president made against me and thousands of other trans individuals who are serving or who plan to serve in the military.
I have planned to join the Army to do military broadcasting for about 3 years. I came out as trans 2 years ago. Around the time I came out, Obama lifted the ban on trans people openly serving in the armed forces. Obviously I was thrilled that I would be able to continue pursuing my future career. I started taking testosterone shortly after that in an effort to become more myself and prepare for my future as a military broadcaster.
I stopped thinking about it when I started college here at Ithaca. I was distracted by other things, but it was still the goal. I remember my friend Hope texting me if I’d seen the tweet. I hadn’t. I thought about it at work that whole day, trying to figure out how a policy like that could be legal. As I walked back to my dorm that evening I called my mom to vent and ended up crying on the phone with her and my dad for over an hour.
I’d planned on joining the military because I would be able to pay off my student loans, travel the world, and do broadcast work, all while getting health benefits. It’s the best option for me personally. Although being trans was never part of the plan, it’s who I am, and that’s not about to change. I am just as skilled, dedicated and passionate as any cis person.
The logic used to create this policy is highly flawed and stems from a place of ignorance and misinformation. Being trans doesn’t invalidate my ability to be an efficient and valued member of the armed forces. The only thing doing that is Trump and his bigoted staff.
Let’s look at this step by step. As of now, there has been no indication of what will happen to the trans troops currently serving in the military. The ban only specifically bars future enlistment of trans people. Trump is said to be leaving it up to the secretaries of defense and homeland security to decide how to handle troops currently serving openly. Will they be discharged? If so, will it be honorable or dishonorable? Trump nor his administration has indicated the next steps for this policy.
When compared to similar policies (i.e. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell) the flawed logic still makes no sense. What, other than the health care costs, is the threat posed by trans troops? Is it unit solidarity? If that’s the problem why have they not discharged currently open trans service members? Is it a lack of lethality? Again, if so then why allow certain exemptions for those already serving? How do trans service members affect the overall effectiveness of a unit? They don’t.
Looking from a cost viewpoint the policy is still not on solid ground. The cost to support trans troops would be a fraction of the health care costs overall. In a study from Rand Corp. in 2016, the number of trans troops serving was placed between 1,320 and 6,630 and predicted the treatment of 30-140 new hormone treatments per year. From personal experience I can say HRT (hormone replacement therapy) isn’t that costly. The total cost to the health care budget would be between $2.4 million and $8.4 million a year. That’s nothing compared to entirety of the budget.
The trans ban is unethical, immoral and discriminatory, and a whole lot of people know this but do nothing. It should not be up to one segment of the population to right the wrongs that could have been stopped. Trans people are treated like they don’t deserve to live in this country, and now we can’t even die for it? Someone tell me how that’s fair.

Grassed Waterways
Erosion Control Structures
These structures are used to help control the grade in natural and artificial channels. They may be used where the concentration and velocity of water requires a structure to stabilize the grade in the channel or to control gully erosion. These structures are designed to reduce the amount of sediment delivered to local streams and rivers.
Wetland Pond
Wetlands filter and collect sediment from runoff water, slow overland flow and store runoff water, they reduce both soil erosion and flooding downstream.
Filter Strips
A filter strip is a strip of grass, trees or shrubs that filter runoff and remove contaminants before they reach water bodies or water sources such as wells.

Guest Post: Clifton Hill on “Fantasy: Please Pass the Grit”
Today’s post is something unusual for Blog, Jvstin Style. Today, I welcome Clifton Hill to the blog:
About the writer: Clifton Hill discovered robots in the fourth grade with Isaac Asimov and explored the Belgariad soon after. Slaving away under the lash of the muse, Clifton forged an epic fantasy of battles about a young man named Hestea:
Fleeing the inaction of his people from a secret order grown listless and apathetic, Hestea flies into the face of an age-old enemy. Under a foreign general in a fractured land he finds his place as the remaining armies of Molroun make a last stand. Hestea finds love, seeks out a murderer in his own camp and must question the strange power that he had always thought was a blessing.
Now available on Amazon Kindle and Print ( Veil of a Warrior (the novel) and the companion novelette Seeking the Veil. Check for more
Fantasy, Please Pass the Grit
Why does gritty fantasy sell?
Visceral, terrible, gut wrenching, laden with death and loss. Why does it sell? And why in the genre of luminescent fairy wings, immortal wizards, and chivalrous knights that can not die— Why do we want to bring in the grime, the stink of malice and the cut of despair?
In an industry dominated by the One Ring and a boy wizard, where there was death and violence, but only to an extent, it seemed that Fantasy was a soft genre. There was the thrill of discovery, strange wondrous new lands and…magic! So what made The Game of Thrones rise so high?
Perhaps, because, it was more real. The setting is not one of wonder, it is one terrible and dirty, where people die. A world where a single man rules with the authority to kill on a word, where political factions scheme for power, for survival: the landscape of influence can change in a heartbeat.
Game of Thrones shocks and pulls you in when Eddard Stark, the moral center of the book is beheaded before the people of King’s Landing and before his own daughter. For some it was too much, for others it had us shaking our heads wanting to not believe. But whichever camp you were in, in a world of political intrigue where only the strong survive—those that will do ANYTHING—it shows the brutal reality.
I hated it, but it pulled me in. I wanted Ned to live, I wanted it to be a giant farce. But people are cruel, people are terrible, and some people will do anything to keep the power they clutch with greedy or trembling hands. This is the core of his book, and it is something he has never forgotten.
You might argue the series is also about the redeeming qualities of the human soul. That even the worst of us have a kernel of good and even the worst can change. But this wouldn’t be relevant if his world was painted in pink and pastel. The contrast makes it stronger.
The grit and gore stands out in Martin’s work, but it is not by itself what differentiates. Unrelenting consequence shows he is not afraid to take the story where it must go. And as an author I know the fear of killing a character that drives your story, but sometimes it must be done.
In The Lord of the Rings, Boromir is obsessed with the One Ring and his need to use it for his own purposes. He scared off Frodo, the Fellowship scattered and when the Uruk-Hai came, they were unprepared and Boromir died. It is a real moment. Where our own fear and mislaid confidence is reflected in Boromir. He died for his mistakes, the Fellowship is split and the entire journey seems in peril. Instead of being pushed away the reader is pulled in.
Things become more believable when you see true consequences of character actions.
Anyone find it uncompelling when the hero of the story walks away unscathed? We’ve all enjoyed the Summer Blockbuster with the hero dodging a thousand bullets, but how engaged are we? Maybe the first time we enjoy it, perhaps the tenth? (Ok, let’s be real, we’ve all enjoyed a few dozen, but we want something different now. Something more.) Our belief and engagement with the show is threatened. We start remembering this is just a bunch of actors and actresses running around on a sound stage. There is no peril, there is no risk. So, why do we care?
Prime example:
-Edward in Twilight has a massive battle with the redheaded vamp that wants nothing more than to kill him for killing her lover. Meyer sets up the scene with foreshadowing about this being a moment of impending doom. We come to think that something tragic could happen. But no. No big deal. Edward kills her and barely musses a hair.
Gritty fantasy sells because the genre has matured and with it readers have found that they want something more. It doesn’t have to be blood or death, but it does have to be a true consequence. One that leaves more than just a scratch.
The Song of Ice and Fire became a phenomenon because it was well written, had true consequence and because Martin painted a gritty picture to fit.
We became lost and immersed in the work. And it became real because we never stopped believing.

Coptic Christmas
Coptic Christmas is celebrated by some Orthodox Christians on the 7th of January every year and is different from the worldwide Christmas celebration held on 25th of December. The date is set by the Julian calendar that pre-dates the Gregorian calendar used by other Christians. The day reflects healing and inner peace and is celebrated by many Orthodox Christians around the world, including the Coptic Christians of Egypt.
A day before Coptic Christmas, most people observe a short fast and celebrate the day with feasting with friends and family members. The food most commonly eaten or served during this day includes nuts and fresh dried fruits, lenten bread, mushroom soup, vegetables and herbs like peas, potatoes and garlic, bobal’ki, slow-cooked kidney beans with garlic, potatoes and seasoning, baked cod, and honey.
Christmas is a day when the Lord Jesus Christ was born, who Christians believe was the Son of God and Savior of the world. Most think that the actual birth date of Jesus Christ is unknown due to the little information available. In the Bible, the Gospel of St. Matthew says that Christ was born during Herod the Great’s reign. The birth date of Jesus by most people is celebrated on 25th of December, but some as per the traditional info celebrate the same on January 7th, every year.
Coptic Christmas is also known as Old Christmas Day. In 1952 England and Scotland switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, for example., but the people who did not accept this shift continued celebrating it on January 7th. The January 7th datew as valid between 1901 and 2100 but since 2101 Coptic Christmas must be celebrated on the 8th of January, one day later.
The Coptic Month Before Christmas
The Coptic month before Christmas is called kiahk and is observed for 43 days from 25th November to January 6. During this time Christians eat special food, which is all vegetarian. They stay away from consuming animal products during this time. The special fast is called The Holy Nativity Fast, where prayers are done for the weak. On Coptic Christmas Eve people go to church for a special service. This is the time when people meet up with friends at the church and the services usually go past midnight, at some places until 4 am. After the service, people enjoy a hearty meal of eggs, meat and butter and everything else which they could not eat during the fast. One popular food is the “Fata’, which is lamb soup containing rice, bread, garlic and boiled lamb meat. On Christmas day, people often give Kahk or special sweet biscuits as gifts to one another.
Even with a small population of Christians, Egypt celebrates Christmas like a major holiday, including some non-Christian Egyptians. The festival has now become very commercialozed where anyone can buy Christmas decorations, food and trees easily. Many places see special decoration for this festival. Santa in Egypt is called Baba Noel, meaning Father Christmas. Children wait for his arrival with gifts and even leave some Kahk for him. The forty days preceding Coptic Christmas are called Advent season, during which people abstain from eating animal products and dairy food.
The special fast during Advent season shows the devotion and self control of all those who wish to participate in this special celebration. Egyptians attend church on the eve of this day dressed in new clothes. After the service, people gather for the special bread called ‘qurban’, meaning sacrifice. This Egyptian tradition differs from the Christian tradition of serving wine and bread.
Qurban bread has a Holy Cross in the centre with 12 dots representing the 12 apostles of Christ. After this people have a special meal referred as Fata, made mainly out of rice, bread, boiled meat and garlic. In the morning, people visit friends and relatives, while exchanging Kaik, which is enjoyed with Sherbat, a special drink. According to historical legends, the Holy Family moved to Egypt to escape the evil King Herod ahead the Nativity. During this time the churches here are decorated with lamps and candles. Coptic Advent and Christmas are a wonderful time of year!

30 Grammar Mistakes Writers Should Avoid
30 Grammar Mistakes Writers Should Avoid
If you had a dollar for all the grammar mistakes you’ve made (or have yet to make) in your life, you’d be rich by now. Unfortunately, you don’t get paid for making grammar mistakes, and making too many errors could cost you time and money at work or in school.
To save you time and money, as well as embarrassment, Grammarly collaborated with Daily Writing Tips and Write to Done to compile a list of 30 grammar tips for writers. Use these handy tips to improve your writing so your work will be clearer, accurate, and more professional.
1 Overuse of adverbs
The boy ran really fast to catch the runaway ball.
The boy sprinted to catch the runaway ball.
Adverbs—those words that often end in -ly—modify verbs. They’re okay once in a while, but in excess they’re an indicator of weak verb choices. In our example, the adverb “really fast” modifies the verb “ran.” But does “really fast” paint a more vivid word-picture for the reader? Use a juicier verb like “sprinted” instead.
2 Too many prepositional phrases
The caravan came over the top of the hill.
The caravan crested the hill.
Prepositions are those words that often come before nouns and pronouns to show direction, location, or time. In the first sentence we have two prepositional phrases—“over the top” and “of the hill.” Excessive prepositional phrases render your writing wordy. Whenever possible, simplify.
3 Ambiguous (“Squinting”) modifiers
Listening to loud music slowly gives me a headache.
When I listen to loud music, I slowly develop a headache.
A squinting modifier is a misplaced modifier that, because of its location in a sentence, could modify either the phrase that precedes it or the one that follows it. (In the example sentence, is the subject listening to music slowly or slowly getting a headache?) To correct a squinting modifier, move its position in the sentence to make it clear to the reader which word you intend to modify.
4 Misuse of lie/lay
He was laying on the couch.
He was lying on the couch.
If you plan to place or put an object somewhere, such as a plate on a table, you should use “lay.” If you intend to stretch out on a bed for a nap, you should use “lie.” The verb “lie” is an intransitive verb, which means it does not need an object. The transitive verb “lay” requires an object.
It may take some getting used to this “lay” or “lie” business; after all, misuse of these verbs is common. But if you remember to lay down your fork before you’re full, then you won’t have to lie down later from overeating.
5 Ambiguous pronoun references
John had a card for Helga, but couldn’t deliver it because he was in her way.
John had a card for Helga, but couldn’t deliver it because Tim was in Helga’s way.
6 Comma splices
He was very hungry, he ate a whole pizza.
He was very hungry. He ate a whole pizza.
He was very hungry, so he ate a whole pizza.
7 Run-on sentences
Lila enjoyed the bouquet of tulips John gave her on prom night however she prefers roses.
Lila enjoyed the bouquet of tulips John gave her on prom night; however, she prefers roses.
Run-on sentences, also known as fused sentences, occur when two complete sentences are squashed together without using a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation, such as a period or a semicolon. Run-on sentences can be short or long. A long sentence isn’t necessarily a run-on sentence.
To avoid run-on sentences, see if there is more than one idea communicated by two or more independent clauses. In our examples, there are two complete sentences:
Lily enjoyed the bouquet of tulips John gave her on prom night.
She prefers roses.
Both sentences are complete ideas by themselves; therefore, use a semicolon or a period to indicate that they are separate independent clauses.
8 Wordiness (inflated sentences)
It has come to our attention that your tax returns are overdue and we urge you to file them at your earliest convenience.
Your tax returns are overdue. Please file them now.
If you have something to say to readers, spit it out (figuratively, not literally). Inflating sentences with unnecessary words or pointless filler only muddles what you mean to say. Wordy sentences also frustrate readers, so get to the point. Streamline your sentences by using strong verbs and nouns instead of trite adjectives and adverbs.
William Shakespeare once wrote that brevity is the soul of wit. Follow the Bard’s lead by never using ten sentences when two will suffice. Don’t overuse words such as “that,” “just,” and “very.” Proofread your work to keep your prose tightened and toned!
9 Using “could of” instead of “could have”
Sam could of received an A on his essay, but he made too many grammatical mistakes.
Sam could have received an A on his essay, but he made too many grammatical mistakes.
“Could have” is always correct; “could of” never is. Writers probably make this grammar gaffe because, when we speak, the contraction “could’ve” sounds an awful lot like “could of.”
10 Tautologies
Jack made a water pail with his own hands for Jill.
Jack made a water pail for Jill.
Tautologies express the same thing twice with different words. In our example, the word “made” implies that Jack used his own two hands to create the pail. The prepositional phrase “with his own hands” creates a redundancy. Once you know what they are, it’s fun to discover tautologies: dilapidated ruins, close proximity, added bonus, large crowd . . . The list goes on and on!

Elements of three-bill package passed by Congress
Main components of highway, student loan and flood insurance bills passed by Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress on Friday passed and sent to President Barack Obama a package of bills that renew highway and flood insurance programs and prevent some student loan interest rates from rising. Among the key components:
The highway bill:
—Retains the federal taxes — 18.4 cents a gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel — that have been unchanged since 1993. Because the gas taxes are inadequate to pay for the bill, it includes other savings such as $9.4 billion from changing the method of calculating pension plan liabilities, $10.8 billion from increasing Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums and $2.7 billion from raising premiums in the flood insurance program. It also saves $100 million by ending a loophole where machines selling roll-your-own cigarettes are not subject to tobacco taxes. Those savings also make up for the costs in the student loan bill.
—Ensures that 80 percent of Clean Water Act Violation fines paid by BP PLC and others held responsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill goes to Gulf Coast states.
—Gives states more flexibility over how they spend federal highway aid and consolidates the number of highway programs by two-thirds. It also expands a loan guarantee program aimed at increasing private investment in infrastructure projects.
— Speeds up environmental impact studies on highway and transit construction projects and effectively reduces spending on "transportation enhancements" such as bike paths and sidewalks, with the agreement of Senate Democrats. The Senate also acquiesced to House demands that $1.4 billion for general land and water conservation be stripped from the bill.
—Extends for one year a federal timber subsidy program that provides $346 million to 700 counties in 41 states. Almost one-third of that goes to Oregon.
—Directs the Army Corps of Engineers to speed up efforts to protect the Great Lakes from Asian carp.
The student loan bill:
The flood insurance bill:
—Extends for five years the life of the National Flood Insurance Program, which provides subsidized insurance to about 5.6 million policyholders, mostly in flood-prone areas.
—The bill seeks to reduce some of the nearly $18 billion the program owes the Treasury by phasing in more actuarially sound premium rates, ending subsidies for some properties such as vacation homes and relocating homes that are subject to repetitive claims.

Book a Property Valuation
What are the legal requirements for selling a property?
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
When a house sells an EPC will need to be included. An EPC certificate gives information about the property’s energy use and typical energy costs. It also provides recommendations about how to reduce energy and save money. If you do not have an EPC Money Properties can recommend a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) to provide one.
Shared Freehold/Leasehold Document
If your property is leasehold, you will be required to provide a copy of the lease. Alternatively, if your property is freehold you will need to provide the share certificate.
Proof of Identity
You will need to provide your solicitor with proof of identity and address. A utility bill or bank statement and a passport or driving licence will usually suffice.
Property Title Deeds
You will need to provide Property Title Deeds for the house you are selling. You may already have these from when you bought your house. If not, your solicitor should be able to help you to obtain official copies from the land register.
Fittings and contents form
The fittings and contents form is a document that indicates what is and isn’t included in the sale of a property. This could cover curtains, carpets, white goods and outdoor areas such as sheds, plants etc.
Property information form
This is a large document that provides very in-depth information about the house you are selling. Amongst other things it will include details of boundaries, parking, occupiers, environmental matters, services and transaction information.

Deep dive into Convolutional Filters
Convolutional Neural Networks, or CNNs, are used to process images for a variety of task including object detection, classification, and more. CNNs are built up of a few basic layers; Convolutional and Max Pooling (or Down sampling) . This will create a set of “features” that can be fed into fully connected (or Dense) layers to find meaning in an image. Allowing the dense layer to realize the content of images. For instance this image below, contains a robot.
We are going to dive into the convolution layer in this post. In particular we are going to dive into how filters work. Before we jump into this let us look at how data goes into a convolutional layer.
In machine learning we refer to this data as “tensors”. Most programmers would recognize these as multidimensional arrays. Normally during training this would be a 4D tensor. The highest layer is a collection (or batch) of images. Now we are at a 3D tensor. The highest layer here is channels; think Red, Blue, and Green. Now with only a 2D tensor left we are simply at the pixels organized in width and height.
It will be easier to train and understand the concepts of CNNs if we pre-process our images to grayscale. This way we are only playing with 1 channel per image instead of the 3 normal RGB channels. We will lose accuracy with grayscale so I wouldn’t recommend it for most production models.
At a high level, a convolution layer is a set of filters. These filters can be any squared size, most commonly 3×3 or 5×5. Then the convolution layer sweeps these filters over the image. Depending on the values of the filter we can find things like vertical lines. Later on in the network these filters reading the output of the other filters can determine more complex shapes like eyes.
These filters are nothing new in the world of computer vision. CNNs are essentially taking this old “classical” computer vision tool and figuring out the values of the filters through iterations of the network to find significances in the image.
The bent it using OpenCV. For those unfamiliar with the tool OpenCV is a C++ library that implements a lot of computer vision st way to understand a filter is to implemealgorithms. In this post we will use OpenCV’s Python wrapper and the image below to learn how filters work.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # We'll use this to show images
import matplotlib.image as mpimg # And this as well
import cv2 # OpenCV
import numpy as np # We'll use this to manage our data
As mentioned we are going to start off with processing this under grayscale so let’s get that changed.
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)
plt.imshow(gray, cmap='gray')
The filter we are going to build for this example is a Sobel Filter. This is a very commonly used to detect edges and in finding patterns in busy images. We will have to do two passes for both horizontal and vertical edges. Let us see how we might find lanes using a filter.
# Create our Filters
sobel_y = np.array([[ -1, -2, -1],
[ 0, 0, 0],
[ 1, 2, 1]])
sobel_x = np.array([[-1, 0, 1],
[-2, 0, 2],
[-1, 0, 1]])
# Apply the filters to the image
filtered_image = cv2.filter2D(gray, -1, sobel_y)
x_filtered_image = cv2.filter2D(gray, -1, sobel_x)
plt.imshow(x_filtered_image, cmap='gray')
Above you can see us using the X Sobel filter to find vertical edges. We don’t show the Y Sobel here as you can see from the original photo there are far more vertical lines. As well for our use case horizontal lines aren’t great for seeing line markings. A quick note OpenCV does have a cv2.Sobel() method but we want to see these filters here. The math happening here is simply a matrix multiplication that runs over each 3×3 sets of pixels in this image. There is overlap in a normal CNN. You can set a variable called ‘stride’ in most convolution layers that will allow you to jump lines so instead of moving down 1 pixel at time you might jump 2 pixels.
Filters can be larger in size. For example lets look at two 5×5 examples
five_filter = np.array([[-1,0,0,0,1],
five_filter_image = cv2.filter2D(gray, -1, five_filter)
plt.imshow(five_filter_image, cmap='gray')
Above you can see by making it larger and spacing it out we got more bolden lines. What if we amplify it?
amp_five_filter = np.array([[-2,-1,0,1,2],
five_filter_image = cv2.filter2D(gray, -1, amp_five_filter)
plt.imshow(five_filter_image, cmap='gray')
Well, this probably is no good. We got so much noise out in this image. However this at the end of the day is what the CNN is doing. You are in charge of setting the hyper parameters like number of filters, filter size, and stride. However the CNN is trying different numbers in the filter to see what works best.
This is a very long process to figure out well and I highly recommend using pre-trained weights like ImageNet as a starting point for your CNNs. However if you are building from scratch you should initialize your filters. I prefer Xavier Uniform, also known as Glorot Uniform, as my starting point. If I’m building my own CNN and can’t used pre-trained weights. Luckily tools like Keras use Xavier Uniform as a CNN weight initialization by default for you!
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the filters that build your CNN. It is crazy to think some simple math can turn out useful data like this. Although it does take a lot of filters to turn our results. For example a simple CNN like the VGG-16 has about 3,456 filters. It is quite amazing that our GPUs can even train these networks so well.

Child Behavior: Understanding
Child Behavior: Understanding
Listen to this article.
Child behavior understanding is an important precondition for the child’s development into a mentally healthier person.
This will be achieved to a great extent, if we act in a right way with them.
But, proper raising is possible only if parents understand their behavior.
An Adult and a Child Are Not the Same
The first and fundamental mistake in the assessment of the child’s behavior is the fact that many parents compare children with themselves.
They assume that the child behaves in a certain way for the same reasons, the same motives, and with the same attitude towards the environment as the adults.
But the child is not an adult person in a nutshell, it is a homunculus – (a man in diminutive).
Of course, many physical and mental functions of the child are less developed than in the adult person, and not fully ripened.
For example, the children do not have the muscular power of adults, so compared, they don’t have the intelligence of adults, knowledge or life experience.
Main Differences Between an Adult and a Child
But in order to understand the children, it is important to be familiar with the contemporary children’s psychology, which does not differ from the psychology for adults in a qualitative sense, it differs only quantitatively.
The children are essentially different from adults.
The have different life needs, interests and aspirations.
Their life experience and knowledge are not only poorer, but also fundamentally different from how adults experience the world.
The children’s intelligence is not only inferior to the intellectual abilities of the adult person, but also have a different structure – emotionally responds differently to the sensations of the environment.
So, all psychological characteristics of the children have their own specific features.
The parent’s task is to recognize and accept them, be empathetic and to adapt them, and to take them into account regarding the relationship towards their child.
Important to remember
Parents Assessment Mistakes While Evaluating Child Behavior
The second mistake that many parents make is that they evaluate the behavior of the children according to their immediate reaction.
They never ask the question why the children sometimes behave as the parent wants and another time as it suits them.
If the child is obedient and ambitious, serious and disciplined, most parents will evaluate such a child as “good”.
On the contrary, the rebellious, naughty or temperamental child will be judged as “mischievous”.
On the basis of these examples we can conclude that the first case is about a child with a healthy and positive social structure of the person, and in the second, a child person who develops in an unhealthy, socially negative sense.
But such a conclusion is wrong!
At first glance, positive child behavior can only be apparent, but in fact it is negative.
Conversely, a dynamic child can be an expression of a healthy structural personality.
It happens that when the child is calm, worthy and obedient in front of the parents only to harm their brother or sister for jealousy and to devalue their brother or sister in the eyes of the parents.
Or, the child is serious and diligent just because they suppresses their emotions or feels a strong feeling of insecurity and an inability to react among his peers like any other average child.
Defiant Behavior Is Not Always a Bad Behavior
Also, defiant behavior is not always an example of a child being bad.
Such behavior is sometimes a reflection of a healthy childish resistance against the wrong actions, inconsistencies and tutelage of the parent.
The child’s aspiration to protect themselves against negative environmental influences is a sign of their vitality and the innate sense of resistance.
It is because of this characteristic that many children do not develop into negative persons, although parents were passive when the child was formed as a person.
Dynamic – restless children, the environment calls them “impossible” and “difficult to upbringing”, are usually children who are temperamental, and according to their behavior, a good prognosis can be made for their further mental development, unless the parents make major mistakes and take the child to the wrong path.
Understanding of the Meaning and Purpose of Child Behavior
In assessing the behavior of children, one should not take into account only the way they react, but to find out what motivates them to react.
This means that parents need to ask themselves, what is the meaning and the purpose of the child’s reaction at a given moment, what implies the child to behave in such a way, what is their need for this kind of behavior and where it originates from.
A certain form of behavior gets a social and moral sense only because of the motive, what is causing such behavior and to which goal it strives.
Important to remember
Understanding the Motives of Child Behavior
When the parents know the origin and the motive for a certain child behavior, then they can say that understand the child.
The knowledge of motivation sets the principles of proper upbringing.
Therefore, if the parents do not understand the motives for the behavior of the child, they will not be able to fully understand it, and they will not be able to successfully implement the upbringing in everyday practice.
Even less is it possible to find a way to successfully raise a child with a disorder if it is not revealed what is “hiding” behind such a behavior and what happens in the child’s psyche.
The parent should find it and influence the motivation as a reason for the disrupted behavior.
To the young person, it is important to support the natural, healthy and socially useful motivations, while the unreal and non-social ones to be suppressed.
Considering the Causes for Child’s Defiant Behavior
The impact only on behavior, without considering its causes, does not make sense, because it will not produce a positive result.
There are parents who have experienced many times, that forcing the child to study with various threats and moral preaching do not achieve a lasting result, yet in the process of correction they still make the same mistake with the child.
It has long been known that with physical punishment – (prohibition of leaving the room, playing outside) we can only suppress the current childish defiance, but not the defiance itself.
If we persistently apply this educational measure and do not see its meaninglessness, the defiance will very soon appear in a changed shape, but with much greater vigor.
Parents need to think carefully, and try to find the real reasons for such behavior.
The reasons, as a rule, are most often found in the very environment in which the child grows up and in the actions of the parents, and not in the child itself.
Only by removing these reasons why the child behaves inappropriately and by correcting the parents actions the desired result will be produced.
Child’s Behavior Is Reaction to the Environment
Many parents are making mistake when the reason for particular behavior of their child is sought in their individual qualities.
If one wants to find a successful method of upbringing at every opportunity, parents need to address their behavior towards the child with great self-criticism.
Whenever a child is not properly governed, the true parent – pedagogue will ask themselves where they wrong and what caused a reaction of dissatisfaction of the child.
It should always be borne in mind that the child’s behavior is essentially their reaction to the environment.
Therefore, in order to correct the behavior of the child, it is necessary to correct the educator himself, only this will provide a precondition for permanent correction and development of a healthy child psyche.
Important to remember
Suffering as Possible Cause for Defiant Child Behavior
There is another misconception about the attitude of adults towards children.
It is common for a child to be punished promptly when it does not behave properly on a given occasion.
This type of punishment automatically creates a tendency for repression.
Instead, it is necessary to understand the cause of inadequate behavior that is usually a result of the current state of the child’s psyche.
To understand a child who behaves inadequately, first and foremost, one needs to understand that either it suffers of something, or it has some mental disorders at the very least.
If the exact cause is determined, then the need for assistance is logically imposed, in order to overcome the problems and without punishments.

Popcorn Country
One of the great innovations Nashville borrowed from Hollywood was the massive studio orchestra as cinematic prop. It's akin to the Technicolor soundstages used in the movie adaptation of Oklahoma! -- yes, the sky is clearly fake and doesn't really extend forever and a day, only about 20 feet and it's made of wood and paint. But then here comes the star, an earnest country guy or gal whose casual grace and charisma soars, nearly popping a button on the sequined Western shirt as the rhinestoned lungs send a triumphant note beyond the skies (They're real, those skies! Real!), or curl into a heart-piercing quiver that can't be faked any more than you can fake sobriety after a case of Lone Star. It's that old-fashioned Nashville combo of cornpone tragedy and never-ending faith in the song that suspends disbelief entirely, such that a 16-piece string section augmenting a song about a lonely lineman isn't entirely ridiculous.
Patsy Cline was an early adopter, but Glen Campbell perfected the form, with the help of Jimmy Webb's lyrics, which were really imagistic movie scripts draped over jazz chords that approximated country songs. "Houston (I'm Comin' to See You)" isn't one you come across as often. It was actually penned by David Paich, founding member of Toto, who was an LA studio guy at the time (1974). The narrator imagines Houston glittering from an airplane at night, flying in from San Fran after a year away from his woman following some untold dispute. Think I'll send her a postcard, so she can meet my plane. When those strings start up, the whole thing pops in 36-millimeter widescreen.
Another fave is "Turn Around, Look At Me," a song of quivering, tear-stained triumphalism that seems, as far as I can tell, to be about stalking. It's almost an attempt at telepathy through wrenching internal melodrama.
As the cinema aspect evolved, George Jones pushed the creepy possibilities to the limit with "Radio Lover." It plays like a 3:26-minute Alfred Hitcock film, setting up a plot about a radio DJ who spins songs of heartache and cheatin' while thinking of his lovely new wife who listens from home. The power to pre-tape leads to a devastating ending with an inferred violence that is intensely vivid. Listen to how the meaning of the love lyrics turns to cold menace. Goodnight, angel, sleep tight, darling, close your pretty brown eyes.
There's an aspect of it that's very told-'round-the-fire-at-night that connects this to old-school folklore, a kind of countri-urban myth torn from the headlines. It's basically an episode of CSI as conceived by The Possum.
Postscript: After examing the lyrics to "Houston" more closely, Dewey and I noticed an interesting problem in the lyrics. It seems the narrator is thinking of writing a postcard to an estranged lady friend so she'll meet him at the airport in Houston. But he also speaks on the telephone with the lady. I'm just calling to tell you I'm leaving today. So why doesn't he just ask her to pick him up at the airport while he's got her on the horn? There's no way a postcard can make it in just a few hours!
Alternate interpretations welcome.

I love this photo of Glenn as hayseed Apollo. So much bronzed skin! At first I thought I had gone to Dennis Cooper's blog by mistake and had dialed up one of his "Great Moments in Gay Porn" postings. Alas, no: just more cornpone orch-pop country doodling. Anyway, I'll print this and post it on my locker at the squash club.
Alternative interpretation: the narrator is addressing two women, one on the phone and one by postcard. The woman on the phone is his "safe bet" -- she's a she he keeps in his back pocket for emergencies. Of course, he really (unconsciously) would rather get "picked up" by the phone call lady. That's why he addresses his true love by postcard, which will never arrive on time; the timing, conveniently, is out of his hands. Glenn peered deep into the heart of man (that's male man, in this case) for this lyric.

FYI: In the song "Houston (I'm Comin' To See You)", Paich is writing about a girl named Houston (who lived in Los Angeles). It has nothing to do with the city in southeast Texas. Hope this helps.

Day 990
John Finley Walk
September 15th, 2014
From a 1941 NY Times article:
Dr. Finley was New York's most peripatetic philosopher. Indeed, he had covered half the world afoot, watching the human scene with kindly eyes. . . . But it was over this peaceful and marvelous Island of Manhattan that he liked most of all to wander, counting that day lost when he had not checked off at least 10 miles. Once each year he walked entirely around the island, covering part of that promenade that now bears his name. Today, because it does bear his name and because it perpetuates his walking image wrought in iron by an artist who knew him in his forward-tilted stride, it will help others see with his understanding eyes the shimmering waters that girdle us, the towered silhouette of the city and all the friendly passers-by who give life and meaning to the Manhattan panorama.

Windows have the unique capability of being able to achieve a net zero energy impact by admitting solar gains in the winter to offset thermal losses and admitting daylight to offset electric lighting. If rejection or admission of solar heat gains and daylight are appropriately timed, then heating, cooling and lighting energy use at the perimeter zone can be reduced to net zero energy levels. Nano-scale switchable coatings on glass have been developed to actively modulate solar intensity and spectral transmission. We provide a brief overview of these switchable glazing materials, discuss the desired performance objectives for such materials, and present results from recently completed monitored studies of state-of-the-art switchable windows, particularly with respect to occupant response and market factors. Careful application of state-of-the-art switchable windows and new material science developments on the horizon can deliver the desired net zero energy performance while meeting critical human factors and market related requirements.

Trends reflect our mood in food
Got local?
The National Restaurant Association predicts "sustainability" and "local sourcing" of food will be top trends for 2010.
What is a locavore? Someone who champions food grown on small, family-owned, environmentally responsible farms, usually within 100 miles of the city.
Here are some other food trends to look for in the coming year:
* Brussels sprouts. Those Thumbelina-size cabbages kids love to hate are turning up everywhere.
* Meat chic. With the smash-hit success of "Julie & Julia," is it any surprise that Julie Powell is putting forth yet another chapter of her life as a foodie? This time, she's channeling her inner butcher. "Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession" chronicles her sizzling affair, which then led to a stint learning the ins and outs of butchering.
* RIP Gourmet. The shockwaves continue to reverberate after Conde Nast pulled the plug on the country's 70-year-old food magazine. Save those November 2009 issues. They're sure to be a collector's item one day.

Four reasons why some people become 'super smellers' – from pregnancy to genetic differences
Some super smellers even associate unpleasant memories or feelings of annoyance with certain smells. Credit: Shift Drive/ Shutterstock
Do certain smells make you feel uncomfortable, even nauseous? Or is your nose so good that you can detect even the subtlest aromas in your favourite wine? Perhaps certain smells evoke negative or positive feelings? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might just be a "super smeller".
Medically known as hyperosmia, super smellers are people who have a heightened compared to the average person. Some super smellers may be more sensitive to pleasant smells, while others may be more affected by unpleasant odours.
Hyperosmia is relatively rare, so there's still much that researchers don't know about the condition. However, here are some of the reasons a person may have hyperosmia.
1. Health conditions
A number of studies have reported links between various medical conditions and hyperosmia, including Lyme Disease, migraines, body fluid disturbances, hormone deficiency and certain medications. Though it's not fully understood what leads to hyperosmia in these cases, it could possibly be the effect these diseases have on the body's electrolytes, thus affecting the signals generated at the scent receptors.
Studies have also shown that certain genetic conditions such as duplication or overexpression of the KAL1 gene – which produces a protein (anosmin-1) that appears to control the growth and movement of nerve cells that help process smell—and other genetic mutations are linked to heightened sense of smell.
One study even showed that the genetic coding for a certain protein that helps to bind on to smells and help them reach the smell receptors in the nose, does vary in a population, so some people may naturally have a better sense of smell than others.
2. Pregnancy
Many women who become pregnant often claim certain smells which never used to bother them suddenly become revolting. And one review has actually confirmed that some pregnant women do temporarily become super smellers.
By comparing the findings of more than 50 studies into how pregnancy alters sense of smell, researchers concluded that although pregnant women didn't have higher smell intensity overall, they were possibly more sensitive to certain odours. But there wasn't enough evidence to determine if their ability to identify more odours in general had increased.
Despite being such a commonly reported phenomenon, researchers still aren't entirely sure why this happens. However, this sensitivity is typically temporary, rather than a permanent change.
3. Brain differences
A 2019 study aimed to uncover whether the brains of super smellers worked differently than normal. Researchers compared 25 men who considered themselves super smellers with 20 men who rated their sense of smells as normal. Using brain scans, the researchers compared the grey matter volume in parts of the brain associated with smell.
They found that in super smellers there was increased brain activity in two key areas responsible for bringing together smell information, and learning and memorising smells. But while research detected these , the researchers were unable to ascertain whether this was caused by genetics, or if it was learned.
It is well established that smell and memory are strongly linked. But the findings of a 2014 study suggest that this may be the basis for hyperosmia. The study looked at 55 volunteers who rated their sense of smell as better than average. They compared them to a group of people the same ages and gender who considered their sense of smell to be normal.
The super smellers in this study were asked to complete a structured questionnaire about their experiences of environmental smells. They associated certain smells such as fragrances and human body products (such as sweat) with and unpleasant memories, and found that environmental smells evoked feelings of annoyance and disgust. But the study didn't investigate whether participants were also sensitive to other smells, so it's difficult to know if these volunteers actually had a normal or heightened sense of smell.
Other studies have similarly found that sensitivity to certain smells, including phenolic resins (such as formaldehyde) and the shellfish-like pyridine odour in organic chemicals, are linked with negative experiences, suggesting that sensitivity to these smells develops based on negative experiences in the workplace—for example being exposed to chemical odours at work.
4. Training
So does being a super smeller convey a super power that lasts continuously, or can it be temporary?
In 2003, I conducted a study with 230 volunteers to test their depth of smell for the smell of phenylethyl alcohol (the smell of roses) or eucalyptol (a mint-like smell). The depth of smell relates to how small a concentration of an odour can be detected (known as the "threshold"). We used a custom-built device that delivered eight concentrations of the smells, from barely detectable to very strong.
We found that 2% of the group demonstrated what we dubbed as "the superosmic phenomenon" on single testing. A further 10% demonstrated this phenomenon on various occasions during repeated testing (where the test was performed ten times on separate occasions at one-week intervals). This phenomenon occurred when the volunteers were able to detect the smells at three or more levels below where they would normally detect it—and they were able to continue detecting the smells at least ten times during the test. The test was performed once a week over a period of ten weeks.
In almost all cases where the superosmia occurred, this was followed by a sudden, rapid loss of smell detection at this lower level before the end of the test. So without any explanation for why, we could see evidence of short-term super smellers when focused on certain smells.
Overall, the assumption all super smellers achieve their "superpower" because of their genes or a rare medical condition is probably unlikely. Think about sommeliers or perfumers—these people train their noses to be able to recognise many unique smells. In fact, smell training can even allow people who have suffered smell loss to recover their sense of smell.
It seems that super smellers are a mixture of people who may be genetically wired to smell better, some who train to smell better and some who have an underlying medical condition. And others, perhaps including , they may only experience sensitivity—not true hyperosmia.

sad day
Hi there. First I have to admit that while I was looking forward to writing the blog all day, right now it's going to be a little harder than I thought. Our beloved family dog, Humphrey, died last night unexpectedly. He was only about 9 years old, but he got an infection in his blood that is apparently very uncommon, in the end, he couldn't be cured. He was such a good little boy, and we are going to miss him a lot.
Losing him makes me realize how important it is to enjoy everything while you can, so in that spirit, I will continue to recount all the funny things that are happening to me here.
Today got off to a rather rocky start. I woke up to discover that I had no hot water, and it was a particular problem, since I hadn't had hot water yesterday either, and had forgone my morning shower because of it. Yesterday I called down to the front desk, and was very pleased with myself for understanding the italian of the clerk who explained to me that they were working on the boiler until one o'clock. I did my best without a shower and went about my day. But this morning, when I had no hot water again, I was a little annoyed. I kept replaying this memory in my mind of the time I went to the hair salon where they are kind of nazis about not washing your hair every day so that it will be healthier, and one of the girls with really amazing hair explained to me that she only washed it once a week! Intrigued, I asked my friend and colorist about this girl and her hair and he said "GOD - it totally disgusts me that she does that. It's unhygenic, and by the way, it totally stinks after like the 4th day." It was only the second day for me, but I was kind of hoping to be beautiful and exotic and foreign in Italy, not smelly and dirty.
So anyway, I called the front desk again this morning and she said she'd send somebody up. The maid buzzed my door almost immediately and explained to me that actually, I had a boiler in my room, and this switch outside the bathroom controlled it. When it was switched to 1 it was on, and 0 it was off. I realized in that instant that in fact they had not been "working on the boiler until one" yesterday as I thought I had so brilliantly interpreted, but that she had actually said "you have your own boiler and you need to make sure the switch is turned to 1". This is especially embarassing since that means the only words I actually understood in her sentence the day before were "boiler" and "one". You might be thinking - "well, boiler - that's a pretty hard word!" Except in italian, boiler is "boiler". So there you go. I'm practically fluent. I must have switched the 1 to 0 when I was fiddling with all the light switches trying to figure out what turned what one, since none of them actually light something in the room they are in, and I gave myself no hot water. I had also inadvertently turned of my refridgerator at one point and after I noticed my milk had spoiled, I called an complained about my "frigorifero che non funtione." Very bright, I now realize. They're going to start thinking I'm a real dummy soon at this hotel.
I got up so late and the whole explanation and realization took so long that I had no choice but to attend rehearsals today sans shower for day two. So much for my glamorous american self.
The rest of the day was a lot more watching other people sing, which I'm kind of getting used to. I did have an exciting experience with the coffee machine however. The coffee that comes out of the machine in the break room is really delicious to me, although I'm not a coffee drinker. If the machine coffee tastes that good, I fear I might get hooked on the cafe coffee while I'm hear. I noticed that all the staff has keys to the coffee machine that they insert and choose their type - long shot, cappuccino, with sugar, etc, and out it comes in a plastic cup with a perfect little matching stirrer. I love their keys because I imagine some union representative arguing for their salaries and crying "and they must have the right to free coffee at all times!" It just seems like a very Italian requirement.
Some other good things that happened today were that I heard a rumor that the second cast will start working with the conductor on Monday, so somebody will actually finally hear me sing. Also, I really did speak a lot of Italian today - my colleagues finally started talking to me probably because I seemed to have more confidence in my ability to speak and didn't look like a scared little bird like I probably did on my first day. The singers are all incredibly nice, and I have to say I feel much more comfortable here than I did trying to speak french in France. Not sure why, but it's just the case, and I know a lot more french than I do Italian.
I have to go to bed now because I have a fitting at 10 AM tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but I begged to have it be tomorrow because they didn't tell me about it until half way through the day today, and I couldn't possibly disrobe in my smelly unwashed state. I tried to say " I can't have a fitting because I'm all dirty" but I think I might have said "I'm all rotten" which would explain the stage manager's look of concern. Oh, and now I know the assistant stage manager's name, but I don't know the actual stage manager's name, and when we rescheduled my fitting for tomorrow, and I asked him how to find the costume shop, he said "just have me paged when you arrive at the security booth and I'll meet you there and show you." I couldn't say "and what is your name again?" So I walked around the theater after rehearsal and found the costume shop on my own. The theater may be confusing, but I'm not going to let the stage manager know that I don't know his name yet! After I had rescheduled the fitting, one of the other singers joked "just make sure you're clean tomorrow!" At least I think she as joking....

xu-help79wHi, I have a question, how can I create a request for xubuntu to come with a default setting? I have a tearing problem with Intel which is very easy to solve by creating the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file and writing the configuration. But is it possible to make this setting come by default in the following xubuntu updates?02:24

Council worker develops PC energy-saving program
Could save £40,000 per year
High performance access to file storage
A county council could slash its annual energy bill by £40,000, thanks to a computer program developed by one of its staff.
Peter Kear, an IT support team leader for Staffordshire County Council, has invented a patch management program that automatically scans the authority's 7,500 computers and switches off those that have been left on overnight.
A major difference to many other systems is that the program closes down computers completely rather than just leaving them in hibernation mode, said a council spokesperson. The system kicks in at 8pm every night and switches off at 8am the following morning.
Kear said: "We already have software that scans every county council computer when they are switched off to ensure they have the latest anti-virus protection installed. This technology already realises whether a PC is on or off, so it was then a matter of writing a program that went a step further and switched off machines that didn't need to be on during the night."
The program should be installed across the county by September and estimates suggest that it could save around 40,000 each year. The council also believes that other authorities and industry could adapt the program to create further savings.
The council spokesperson told GC News: "The system also runs an exclusion list, so if someone is working late or there is a service that needs to stay up and running, we can add those PC IP addresses to the exclusion list and they won't be closed down. Similarly, the system ignores people working at home on a connection."
Mick Clarke, the county council's cabinet member for organisation and performance said: "The authority is Staffordshire's largest user of computers and this ingenious software is simple and effective way of cutting our carbon footprint and saving cash."
But he added: "We are constantly looking for ways to save energy and this includes educating staff to be as energy-efficient as possible. Peter's programme is undoubtedly a great help, but it is no substitute for switching off computers when they are not in use."
To help improve awareness and compliance, the council is running a big internal communication campaign to encourage people to turn off their PCs when they leave the office.

Saving For a Peruvian Getaway: This Trip is Worth Every Penny
A vacation to Peru can be expensive and not something everybody can afford to do. But if you ever get the fortune and can save up the money, the trip is worth every penny. Peru is a land unlike many others, with a wide variety of terrain, fascinating ecosystems, and an bounty of artifacts and ruins from civilizations centuries old. Whether your interest is outdoor adventure, ancient history, or the general beauty of nature, Peru contains something exciting for you.
When you make the journey, there are at least a few particular areas you must visit to call your vacation complete. The first, and probably best known, is Machu Picchu. This ancient fortress, built over six hundred years ago, still remains partially unharmed, and is a spectacular sight. Trips to this area can be made by hiking (a four day trek), or via bus or train for a day trip. Outdoor enthusiasts will want to take the hike, as there are many other memorable sites along the trail. For those desiring to see a lot of Peru in a short period, bus or train is the best bet.
Sometime during your visit, be sure to head up to Lake Titicaca, the highest lake that can still be accessed by boat. Among other engaging facts about the lake, it is home to the Bolivian Navy. Aside from the lake’s elevation, it is enchanting because of its islands, many of which are man-made using reeds that grow along the perimeter. These islands are essentially floating reed mats, and have been occupied by natives for hundreds of years. For additional adventure, you can arrange a stay in a home on one of these islands. Plus, other islands on the lake contain a plethora of ruins and artifacts from before the European conquest that are accessible to visit on day trips from nearby towns.
Finally, arrange on taking some time to visit Colca Canyon, the Amazon jungle, and the Andes Mountains. All can be fascinating vacations in and of themselves, but if you’re restricted on time or money, you must at least travel to see parts of these regions before leaving. Colca Canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon, the Andes Mountains have peaks over 18,000 miles high, and the jungle has some plants and animals that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

The Tsuchikage's Medical Training Part IV
Shuuren, Juudai
Date: January 30, 2016
Shuuren allows Juudai to actually heal him to prove her ability
"The Tsuchikage's Medical Training Part IV"
Land of Tea Daimyo's Office
After managing to heal the fish, the time has come for Juudai's final test. She was told she'd be healing human flesh today, but not who, though she was at least told to meet Shuuren back in the office. When she arrives, she'd see that all but one of the tables have been removed with only some scrolls and cloths upon it as well as a fresh kettle of tea and some glasses. Actually adorned in something besides his suit today, Shuuren sits in one of the chairs sipping on a glass of tea while he waits for the Tsuchikage to arrive. He wears simple clothes today, a black jacket and pants with a white t-shirt unerneath, indicating he doesn't think today's exercise will exclude him physically from the mess like the others have.
Arriving in the room, Juudai looks at the man as she walks in and then at the display that is set up, so to speak. She considers the area and then considers the man again, "So, you had mentioned I'd be healing a person today." She states, "A human." She then nods to him and looks at the table. Prior to the end of their last session, she had successfully and completely healed several of the fish. She had been successful prior but did not stop till she was successful repeatedly. Now, she seems calm, and cool as she walks in, "Who is it you are to bring to me?"
As Juudai enters, Shuuren looks up at her and waits a moment for her to speak. Since she hasn't figured it out yet, he just pours her a glass of tea and slides it over toward the chair across from him. "You will be healing a human today," he says as he then sheds his jacket and places it on the back of his chair. He reaches into one of the pockets of the jacket, grabbing a bundled up cloth that he unrolls on the table to reveal a set of field surgical equipment. Once it's unrolled, he holds his right arm out on the table with the palm facing up and picks up a scalpel with the other to slice his upper forearm open. A sly grin tugs at the corner of his lip as he sets the scalpel back on the cloth and says, "It's just someone there's very little chance you can do any permanent damage to in your practice."
A blink as she watches him step forward and then prepare, she hmms, "I see." Juudai then walks around as he slices open his arm. She peers at the arm and then at him before saying, "Well, that's a decent amount of trust. Not afraid you won't be the first person in history to be charged with explosive chakra?" She tilts her head at him, "Besides a Toujitakumi sacraficing themselves?" She chuckles and peers at him before looking at the arm, "I suppose we ought to begin." She then raises up her hands and looks at him as if awaiting an affirmative.
"I'm certain you're not foolish enough to try something like that," Shuuren replies simply enough. A mixture of trust and confidence, really. He nods to her question about beginning and waits patiently for her to begin attempt to heal the wound. Juudai may be the first person to truly see Shuuren's endurance for pain since getting this right on the first try is… unlikely.
Looking at the arm, she takes a breath and lets it out slowly. Her gaze goes over the wound and then she finally lets the chakra mix and flow in her hands. Slowly, green energy flows over the area where he is wounded and she looks at the area which begins ever so slowly to start to heal up.
Watching the slow healing of the wound, Shuuren lets out a 'hmm' and waits several moments before he finally say, "You're going to have to try a bit harder than that. I can heal any wound you inflict." With that he simply waits again to see how she does the second time.
A nod and then she focuses more chakra. The chakra she uses begins to burn moments later and SHuuren will have to test that ability to take pain as she stops and hten takes a breath as she notices that instead of healing, the wound bursts a bit and burns as if electified around the edges. She clears her throat a moment and hten nods before looking to SHuuren and then goes back to working on the wound.
Despite most definitely feeling that pain, the Daimyo doesn't even wince or flinch. He simply glances down at the wound for a moment then looks back up to her as he waits for her to begin attempting to heal it again.
After that, things go a bit more smoothly. THere's a mix of chakra she has to find in the person to make things work right. She doesn't get it perfect right away but after a moment she is able to start pouring chakra into the wound and make it so that the healing processes in his arm start to move more quickly. Even as she continues, she nods and smiles, "Better." She then nods to him even as the wound closes though it isn't fully healed it isn't bleeding anymore.
When that wound finally closes, Shuuren looks it over and nods before looking back up to her and nodding. "Good job." He then grabs another scalpel and slices the wound open once more. "Now do it again." No slack, but she wants to be able to do this properly, so there's no room for slack.
A look at the wound and she hmms as she watches him cut himself again, "OK, if you wish." This time, however she ends up burning him again with electrical chakra as she sends the wrong through. She then immediately turns to the process of healing again.
Feeling the electrical burn, Shuuren smirks and says, "And that would've probably finished off a wounded Genin." He then nods as she starts to heal him again. Hopefully she'll do better this time.
The next attempt is better by Juudai. She fully heals his arm. She nods her head as she finishes leaving a pink scar on his arm before hmming to herself, "I imagine you usually don't act as a test subject?"
"Normally I do not, no, but you have more chakra than most of my trainees, so letting you practice healing villagers could be wind up with limbs being amputated," Shuuren says, looking down at the area where she healed him. "Hmm…. Not bad… You've pretty much got it down. All you've got really left to do is keep practicing and study."
A nod is given and she hmms, "I see. Well, then that is all I can do from here." Juudai nods her head and continues to abuse Shuuren for her practice.

Hi guys!
I would like to know about your experience at this room. (likes,dislikes)
I also have couple of questions regarding this room before depositing.
1.) Game finder (NL100+ FR) - how many tables are usually up and filled up on (avg.)
2.) Are the tables tight or loose (if you got any avg. percentages)vpip 20%-40%, players per flop %...
3.) Is there alot of shortstack players ?
4.) Can you multi table like at party or titan poker ?
5.) Do they support PT and Acehud?
6.) Do they accept deposits and withdrawals with moneybookers?
7.) Is their bonus offer or rakeback value good and easy to clear at NL 100?
8.) Are the blinds instead of 0.50/1 really 1/1 ?
I am trying to get the following information so I can compare it with other sites and pick the best site for my next deposit from PS offer.

First of all, the games are very loose/aggressive.
1. about 30 NL100 FR tables.
2. it can be up to 50% at NL100!
3. yes, but they're mostly bad.
4. Yes
5. No, PAHUD does not work with Everest.
6. Yes
7. I think their bonus offer is like 30% rakeback.
8. No, i don't know why they type it out like that. It's 0.50/1

Confirmation and Prophecy…Luke’s Nativity pt 5
A young Galilean virgin had just been told by an Angel, that she would bear the “Seed of the woman”, who would one day “Crush the serpent’s head”, and be the Saviour of the whole world. Her virgin born son would be the Son of God, and would sit on the throne of David to rule forever.
There would be one person who would possibly be able to understand this mystery in part, for the same Angel made mention of Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, who had long since passed her child-bearing age, had conceived a child and was now six months pregnant. Her Husband, the Priest Zechariah, had some kind of an experience in his Priestly service which rendered him unable to make the Priestly Blessing at the climax of the service.For these long six months, Zechariah remained dumb.
As soon as Mary entered the house of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the babe in Elizabeth’s womb, kept for joy, and the Spirit of the LORD came upon Mary, flowing out through the gift of Prophecy.
“Blessed are you among woman…”, this was the same blessing that the prophetess Deborah conferred upon the woman Jael, in Judges 5, after Jael drove a tent peg through the temple of Sisera, a vicious enemy of Israel.
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.(Judges 5:24-27)
Like Jael, Mary is Blessed above women, for she would bear the “Seed of the woman”who would crush head of the ultimate enemy of Israel, Satan himself.
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb…Her son would be the one ,born of a woman and not of a man, man’s blessed redeemer.
How is it that the Mother of My Lord should visit me…? By the Spirit of the LORD, Elizabeth called Mary the mother of her Lord. It was the baby in her womb, who pointed this out to her, already fulfilling the task he was called to, that is pointing people to Jesus as LORD and Saviour!
Blessed is She who Believes, for there shall be a performance of those things… from the LORD… Like Abraham, Sarah, and so many other of God’s faithful through the Ages, Mary’s belief in a miracle baby , sent to save us, from heaven, would be rewarded.
Then the Spirit of Prophecy fell upon Mary herself,
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior… Mary’s inner man, her soul has been focused upon the LORD< and her Spirit rejoices in God,her Savior!
Mary knew and confessed that she was a sinner , that she needed God, and His salvation. As a true believer and pious Jew, she waited for His salvation to come in due time. Now, the time had come!
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Mary didn’t consider herself to be some kind of divine or semi divine being.She would have abhorred as Pagan all talk of Theotokos, or Queen of heaven, or anyone praying “Hail Mary”…Mary knew she was nothing, a sinner, a lowly handmaiden of the LORD, and that it is “HE who is mighty” who has done great things to her.
This prophecy is similar to the Prophecy of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2, when Samuel was born in answer to a prayer that went far beyond a woman’s desperate request for a son, for Hannah’s prayer initiated an entire reversal of the decline of Israel.
Mary is an observant Jew, and would hold an intensely Monotheistic Creed and worship. Holy is His name, and his name alone!
In the Spirit of Prophecy, she marvels at who God is, what God has done what God does, and who He does it for.Ultimately , it is in the coming of Jesus into this world, that the nature and character of God is fully revealed.
Who is this Holy God and what is He like?
She praises his power and might. What awesome power is revealed, that God should become a babe, and enter into his own creation? What an entirely different view of what power really is! That God should become a babe.
Why does he thus display his power? To bring us salvation. This is what it took to save us, God had to become a man, He condescended to us, and regarded our “Low estate”.
Why did God have to save us this way?
Because as Mary prophesied, “Holy is His name“. Because God is Holy He had to make a Holy way to save us. Someone had to suffer for sin. Jesus is God, become a man, to come down to us and take our place in judgment.
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation… Salvation is due to the mercy of God. He is a God who pities lost sinners and weak, fallen humanity.That mercy took him from heaven to earth, from glory to humiliation.
He hath shewed strength with his arm;…In the advent of Jesus, God reveals His power to His congregation, He is an active God, and not indifferent to the plight of His people.
…he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts…
But it is not power as conventionally understood. The proud cannot see in the babe in the manger, the power of God, even as Peter couldn’t see power, in the prospect of Jesus , the Messiah, dying at the hands of his enemies on the cross.
He destroys the Wisdom of the wise, and brings to nothing the understanding of the wise in this world, he scatters those united in Pride, and of all of those who rely on their own ample resources, and see no need of God.
In the coming of the Holy Child, everything the worldly think about power, wisdom, righteousness, and truth is exposed as false, shallow and corrupt, in the light of God.
He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree...God demotes and God elevates. In Jesus, the hierarchies of this world are set on their head.The Last shall be first, and the first last, the humble shall be exalted and the proud made low. Whoever humbles himself shall be exalted, and the proud be made low.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away…He feeds only the hungry, and cures only the sick… the self sufficient and proud are sent away empty.Those “Rich” and “Learned” cannot see the gospel, He hides it from them, to reveal it unto babes. One has to duck to enter into the place where Jesus was born, as well as to see the empty tomb, that he was interred in.
He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever…God has not forgotten His covenant with Abraham,Isaac and Jacob, to bless every family in the world through the “seed of Abraham”.The word for “Helped” is the same as the word, “Succor” , he has run to the aid of Israel, or better, he has “lifted up his Servant Israel”.

Sushil Bikhchandani
Although Uber and Lyft are known for their flexible “surge pricing,” they are surprisingly rigid in another way: each firm takes a constant percentage of passenger fare whether or not there is a surge. In this paper, I investigate the possible reasons for, and the impact of, this rigidity. I study a market in which a profit‐maximizing intermediary facilitates trade between buyers and sellers. The intermediary sets prices for buyers and sellers, and keeps the difference as her fee. Optimal prices increase when demand increases, that is, shifts right. If a demand increase is due to an increase in the number of ex ante symmetric buyers, then the intermediary’s optimal percent fee decreases. If, instead, a demand increase is due to a reduction in the elasticity of demand, then the intermediary’s optimal percent fee increases. In either case, if the intermediary keeps a constant percent fee regardless of shifts in demand, as is the case with Uber and Lyft, then surge pricing (i.e., the ratio of price during high demand to price during low demand) is amplified on one side of the market and diminished on the other side.

RUN-D.M.C. ushered in a new era for hip-hop in the early ‘80s. Before the group from Hollis, Queens came onto the scene in 1983, hip-hop was basically one giant party, using disco beats and daring DJs to bring the sound. But RUN-D.M.C. took the sound, stripped it down, and made it harder and tougher, essentially laying the groundwork for rap to come. To illustrate how much of an impact this group has had on hip hop, here are RUN-D.M.C.’s 10 best songs.
10. “It’s Tricky”
You just can’t beat the opening of “It’s Tricky.” Thought the rock and rap vibe were wearing a little then by the time this single was released, “It’s Tricky” is still one of the best rock and rap fusions ever to grace music.
9. “What’s It All About”
By 1990, Run-D.M.C.’s star power was beginning to wane. Rap was gravitating to the West Coast and gangster rap, a genre in which Run-D.M.C. helped create. But although they weren’t making hits anymore, that didn’t stop the group from trying, and one of their most underrated gems is “What’s It All About,” a call-to-arms of sorts to the problems of the world.
8. “Mary, Mary”
“Mary, Mary” was a protest song dedicated to the bad press Run-D.M.C., and rap in general, was getting from moral advocates. It’s a hard and vicious beat and the lyrics is equally as tough. It’s awesome track that is sometimes forgotten in the duo’s catalog.
7. “Christmas in Hollis”
There is no Christmas without “Christmas in Hollis” blasting on the radio. The 1987 hit holiday single is one of the best Christmas singles ever recorded and if you’re not into “Christmas in Hollis,” then you’re simply not into the Christmas spirit.
6. “Rock Box”
One of the group’s earlier hits, “Rock Box” was one of the first rap singles to fuse together rock and rap and make it a successful single. It’s a track that goes hard, and the searing guitar is what really brings the track together.
5. “Hard Times”
Most rap outfits in the ‘80s had, at least, one track where the main topic was about hard times. Run-D.M.C. felt like it was obligatory to make a track describing the hard times of the poor in the ’80s. “Hard Times” establishes the sound that would bring them much success later on in the decade, and though it wasn’t officially released a single, “Hard Times is still one the duo’s best gems.
4. “You Talk Too Much”
You can make the argument that “You Talk Too Much” is a little too high on this list. But listen to the track, and you can also make the claim that this song is just where it needs to be. It’s a little goofy, but in a good way, and it’s a single that is infectious as it is hard.
3. “It’s Like That”
“It’s like that, and that’s the way it is!” That bar is probably one of the most well-known lines from one of rap’s most beloved groups. “It’s Like That” was the first single released by the group, and if you were into hip hop back in 1984, you knew that Run-D.M.C. was going places based off of this one track.
2. “Walk This Way”
Let’s make a correction. “Walk This Way” was not the first Run-D.M.C. song to fuse rap and rock together. The duo had been created this fusion long before “Walk This Way” became a reality. But this 1986 single, which paired the group with Aerosmith, was the first to break into the mainstream, and that is why “Walk This Way” is so high on this list.
1. “King of Rock”
Before “Walk This Way” became a smash, there was “King of Rock,” which is a much tighter song that was able to bridge the gap between rock and rap. Run and D.M.C’s lyrics stream perfectly together, and the mix of Jam Master Jay only added to the musical buffet of hard rock and hard rap. In short, “King of Rock” is Run-D.M.C.’s best single.
Though Run-D.M.C. rarely perform together as a group, their songs still reign as some of the best hip-hop has ever produced, and if you're a purist of the genre, there should be no way that these 10 songs are not in your playlist.

______________Register Now!
"Miss Joy,
Thank you for being such a powerful teacher and example for our daughter!"
"Miss Angela, thank you for making tumbling fun and for stealing the show!"
"This studio is just different: fun, friendly, professional, and always doing something! Thank you for making the parades so fun!"
"We love Michelle! Thank you for always being there in the office and for being so friendly."
"Ms. Joy and Mr. B are so friendly to everyone. Ms. Joy is really good with the little ones." ~ T.H.
"We love the instructors. They are all so nice and good with the kids." ~C.S.
"Your studio is just different. Thank you for making dance fun again and for having such incredible teachers!"
Founded upon the premise of making dance fun for all ages, our studio doors opened seventeen years ago, under the name of Terrific Time Dance Studio. Now, we are excited to serve you as Amherst Dance Academy! A new name, but our foundation is the same. We believe that dance is not just about competition, stage performance, and technique. Dance is more powerful than that. Don't get us wrong, though, we support and participate in competitions, performances, and dance recitals; and much of our class time is spent learning correct technique. However, our main focus is making sure that the dancers learn to love dancing! That means creating an environment that is positive and energetic. We believe that each dancer should be given the opportunity to achieve something incredible, and this becomes possible when the environment reflects that the sky is the limit!
At Amherst Dance Academy, our goal is to provide dance education, miscellaneous dancewear, and personal growth opportunities at a competitive and affordable price. We take pride in being able to offer our dancers more than what they would find at other studios. We also take very seriously the environment and education your dancer receives. Our goal is to provide a challenging, positive, and fun environment that is influential in the lives of our dancers as we teach and build in your dancer proper dance technique, respect, discipline, and self-esteem. We believe even difficult things can be achieved when the bar is set high and and the door of opportunity is left wide open for the dancer to walk through it.
Dance Team Camps
Team camp is set apart each summer just before the regular dance season begins to learn choreography and set dances for the year. Each team dancer may participate in 2-4 numbers that are choreographed for performances at local festivals in the Fall, Christmas Recital, Spring festivals, and in the Spring recital. These numbers may not all perform at conventions/competitions, but out of the dances learned, at least one of them will be chosen to take to convention and/or competition.
It is imperative that your dancer attends these camps to learn the choreography in order to participate in as many numbers as possible. Please mark your calendars for the following team camps this summer!
August 3 through August 16, 2017 (no weekends)
*Note* Open house for the dance is scheduled for August 17 and August 18. School is also likely to be in session during this time. Team camp usually occurs between 5-7pm. Exact times are yet to be announced.

They only charged me 200$ all the competitors were charging a250 to start and said it would take at least 3hours. I was very happy with the service, all though One tree did need replacing shortly after

Thomas Hardy: The Woodlanders
7. CHAPTER VII. (continued)
"Oh, never mind--never mind," replied the timber-merchant, with a slight wave of his hand, "I have so much else to think of that I nearly had forgot it. Just now, too, there are matters of a different kind from trade to attend to, so don't let it concern ye."
As the timber-merchant spoke, as it were, down to him from a higher moral plane than his own, Giles turned to Mrs. Melbury.
"Grace is going to the House to-morrow," she said, quietly. "She is looking out her things now. I dare say she is wanting me this minute to assist her." Thereupon Mrs. Melbury left the room.
Nothing is more remarkable than the independent personality of the tongue now and then. Mr. Melbury knew that his words had been a sort of boast. He decried boasting, particularly to Giles; yet whenever the subject was Grace, his judgment resigned the ministry of speech in spite of him.
Winterborne felt surprise, pleasure, and also a little apprehension at the news. He repeated Mrs. Melbury's words.
"Yes," said paternal pride, not sorry to have dragged out of him what he could not in any circumstances have kept in. "Coming home from the woods this afternoon we met Mrs. Charmond out for a ride. She spoke to me on a little matter of business, and then got acquainted with Grace. 'Twas wonderful how she took to Grace in a few minutes; that freemasonry of education made 'em close at once. Naturally enough she was amazed that such an article--ha, ha!-- could come out of my house. At last it led on to Mis'ess Grace being asked to the House. So she's busy hunting up her frills and furbelows to go in." As Giles remained in thought without responding, Melbury continued: "But I'll call her down-stairs."
"No, no; don't do that, since she's busy," said Winterborne.
Melbury, feeling from the young man's manner that his own talk had been too much at Giles and too little to him, repented at once. His face changed, and he said, in lower tones, with an effort, "She's yours, Giles, as far as I am concerned."

Windows Adrian Kingsley-Hughes pens a rant on Windows 8, calling it 'awful': "I'm now ready to sum up my Windows 8 experience with a single word: awful. I could have chosen a number of other words - terrible, horrible, painful and execrable all spring to mind - but it doesn't matter, the sentiment is the same." I've been using Windows 8 Release Preview on both my ZenBook and my regular desktop since its release, and here's my short review: "I like it." Issues a-plenty, but for what is essentially a 1.0 release - not bad. It's a hell of a lot better than other releases which were similar in scope (Mac OS X 10.0, KDE 4.0).

Why are we regurgitating the same old sh!t again? If you didn't notice, KDE is quite mature and stable now. I don't see anyone moaning about OS X 10.0 today. That's because everyone moved on to what's currently available.
Living in the past instead of using what's available now gets us nowhere in this discussion.

Hello Mother, Hello Father....
When I was a kid, my father loved to make up rhymes about the start of the school year, usually in the form of questions.
"Was day one.... fun?"
"Hey, Suz, (with emphasis on the Sue), how was day 2?"
"Did you feel free on Day 3?"
You get the idea. It was a family conversation starter at the dinner table, and a way to connect the generations.
Fast forward to today. One of the questions I asked my 9th graders this year was "If I had a reason to call home to talk about you, who should I call?"
Faced with a gaggle of brand new freshmen, the thought of a teacher calling home was petrifying. The assumption, for most of them, was a metacognitive process of evaluating which parent would receive presumably bad news with the fewest repercussions on their social lives and freedom.
Perhaps some of them feared that their parents would answer me in rhyme. In any case, I received more than a few notecards where "Mom" was listed and scratched out, followed by "Dad", also with a big X, and a "Whatever" scrawled across the bottom. Let the chips fall, so to speak. What they don't realize is that I don't intend to call home for infractions to the school system, despite what my discipline policy on my syllabus states. I'm calling home with good news, and only good news.
There is enough bad in this world, that someone else shouldn't be involved in breaking news to parents. It's about autonomy, and nurturing personal responsibility. If there is bad news to be delivered, by golly, the person delivering it is going to be the person who caused it to happen in the first place.
Autonomy. Ownership. Fostering independence and responsibility. Because isn't that what we really need to encourage in teenagers?
And maybe the ability to rhyme, just to make it interesting.
Okay, probably not.

Project Management
Project IT Management
IT management is the management discipline through which all the information technology resources of an organization are effectively managed according to its organizational requirements and priorities. This discipline includes all the activities that are associated with the use of information technology in order to meet organizational objectives and goals, as well as the strategies that are implemented to ensure that these resources are used in the most efficient manner possible. In fact, the entire purpose of this management is to ensure that information technology investments are made in such a way that they yield the maximum productive results for the organization in the shortest possible time. This enables the organization to derive maximum productivity from its IT investments, both in the short-term and the long-term perspectives.
Project Cabling Management
Cabling management refers to the planning, design or management of an electronic or electrical cable in an installation or a cabinet. The term is generally used for electrical workmanship, products or planning where the objects and resources being used are in contact with one another. It also involves assigning a person, usually a qualified professional, to oversee and monitor the proper functioning of these cables and associated equipment. This person is responsible for maintaining safety, locating damaged cables and their locations, making necessary repairs or adjustments, and preventing damage from occurring because of improper management.

(Cert 18)
This cinematic curiosity is produced, directed, scripted and edited by its star, Anna Biller, a Californian previously noted for short films and stage musicals, and it has been greeted with considerable warmth by a wide range of American publications ranging from the New York Times to Variety.
1. Viva
2. Production year: 2007
3. Country: USA
4. Cert (UK): 18
5. Runtime: 120 mins
6. Directors: Anna Biller
7. Cast: Anna Biller, Bridget Brno, Chad England, Jared Sanford, Marcus DeAnda
8. More on this film
Biller plays Barbie, a bored Los Angeles housewife. Neglected by her workaholic husband, she and her best friend enter the permissive world of southern California during the early 1970s. There, she meets a trendy assortment of drug-taking hippies, phoney gurus, pretentious photographers, stage directors and swingers and indulges in a wide range of sexual activities before returning to hubby.
A parody or pastiche of the softcore pornographic movies that were largely replaced around 1973-4 by the vogue for hardcore pictures such as Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones, it's deliberately badly made. The acting is appalling, the editing inept, the cinematography garish, the continuous muzak (some of it played by Ms Biller herself) mind-numbing.
However, making fun of third-rate art and artists is no easy task. Laurence Olivier found it difficult to be as sleazy as Archie Rice. Tim Burton found it impossible to make a film as bad as those by the hero of his biopic, Ed Wood. Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman failed utterly to hold our attention as second-rate vaudevillians in Ishtar. Viva lasts a staggering two hours (the audience does the staggering) and it doesn't merely end up an embarrassing bore, it gets there within a couple of minutes of the opening.

They revealed that out of the three, CEO Yoo is the one who has “friendly connections” with the police. He’s also the one who worked behind the scenes to keep all of the scandals hushed throughout the years.

Javascript Question
How to concatenate 2 one-dimensional arrays into 1 two-dimensional array in JavaScript?
I would like to do the following:
var arrayA = new Array;
var arrayB = new Array;
var arrayC = new Array;
arrayA = [["one", "two", "three"]];
arrayB = [["four", "five", "six"]];
so that I could get
arrayC = [["one", "two", "three"], ["four", "five", "six"]];
How would I accomplish it?
Answer Source
You can just create a new array that has the other arrays as elements.
var arrayC = [arrayA[0], arrayB[0]];
BTW, there's no point in initializing the variables to new Array if you're just going to assign a different array to them.

Poverty, Addiction, and Recovery
• By Patrick
• This post is all about poverty and how it affects both addiction and recovery, because today is blog action day (with the goal of all bloggers bringing the issue of poverty to the forefront of people’s minds.
Now my goal here is not to nag at my readers or convince you to donate money to charities (although in some cases that would be great). Instead, I’d just like to shed some light on how poverty and addiction go together and try to increase everyone’s awareness of the relationship between the two.
Does addiction cause poverty?
By the numbers, addiction and poverty have a definite correlation, simply because addictions cost so much money. Anyone who has tried to sustain an expensive addiction for very long can tell you that it is very easy to fall below the poverty line.
Add in these other complications, and it becomes easy to see how addiction–when left untreated–can definitely lead to a life of poverty:
1) The first, and strongest indicator of poverty is the family unit (closely followed by education level). Single parents with multiple children are likely to be poor, especially if they have other setbacks (unemployed, low education, etc.).
Addiction has a tendency to break up families, producing the types of family units that lead to poverty. Drug-induced states also have the potential to lead to poor decision making which leads to these types of living arrangements. In other words, addiction can lead to structural problems with families that has a tendency to produce poverty.
2) The next best indicator of poverty is education level, which brings up another point: addiction tends to negatively affect our education efforts. Addicts might drop out of high school, or avoid going to college, and so on. So there is certainly a correlation here that can lead to poverty.
3) Finally, this study here shows that if you work full time, regardless of how low a wage you earn, there is only about a 3% chance that you will live below the poverty line. Those who are caught up in addiction or alcoholism know that it is no rare occurrence for them to lose their job altogether. Some addicts and alcoholics eventually reach a point in their disease where they become completely unemployable as well, further cementing their poverty status.
Based on these 3 ideas, it seems reasonable to say that addiction can certainly lead to poverty.
Does poverty cause addiction?
This psychological analysis shows how addiction becomes a rational choice for the poor because they have less to lose and more to gain by engaging with addictive substances.
In other words, using addictive substances becomes more attractive for someone who faces unhealthy living conditions in their daily lives and has more motivations to seek an escape from reality.
This is just a psychological theory, of course, and it is difficult or impossible to get the data to back this idea up, because you would have to show causation (that the poverty led to the addiction, and not the other way around).
But I think there is an empowering idea in there: gratitude. Be grateful for your wealth.
If you’re reading this on the internet, then you’ve just qualified yourself as being in the top 5% of the wealthiest humans on earth. Seriously. If you have your basic needs met and get 3 squares a day and even have some sort of health coverage (even if it’s lousy) then you are among the planet’s elite.
Of course we tend to see wealth as being relative, and constantly compare ourselves to the millionaires of the world. But just for today, appreciate what you’ve got. All of it. Even if you worked hard for it.
But I’m not going to try to guilt you into giving all of your spending money to charity. Instead, merely be grateful today, and become mindful of poverty and how it can potentially affect those around you. You don’t have to give money but maybe you could donate clothes or volunteer time. Or simply say a prayer for those who haven’t been so lucky…..

Pretty as a Present
Rena said...
Great post, Kim. I was just talking about a smile meaning a lot to people. Some people just like to be noticed, even in the smallest of ways.
Merry Christmas!
Marcia said...
That is gorgeous. I'm such a bad gift wrapper.:(
Merry Christmas, Kim.

A single-lens reflex [url=](SLR)[/url] camera is a camera that typically uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system (after a very small delay),
as opposed to pre- [url=]digital SLR cameras[/url] where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film.
